Yeah, 20 plus years friend.
Good lord.
I have memories with you. We do have many memories.
And I'm gonna tell you a memory
that you don't even know about.
Okay.
It was the most, I don't wanna get emotional,
but I really remember this.
Okay. Okay.
20 plus years ago, I was on the third street promenade
and I had bombed, you know that fucking theater over there?
Yeah. Yeah.
You've been there?
Yeah, a long time. Yeah, it's tough. And I was just walking, I was so depressed. And I had just come out and
Harold and Kumar, the first one, and no one ever called me. He calls me and he
goes, you killed it. You gave me the biggest compliment. And I
remember being, I just skipped along the third street prom and I was like, oh that's great.
It was really gentle.
Well no, I always like to support comics. I think it's, you know, I try to watch comedy movies just for my friends around them.
The only thing that I fucking am mad about, I never get like jealous of people's credits.
And this one, I swear to God, I've done this almost 30 years.
This is the only time where I legitimately got like I was like what the fuck and I called Santino when I found out you guys were on Family Feud
Cuz I I love Family Feud so much. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so I saw fucking Santino or
Carrot Top with cancers
That's what I Cancer cancer top. That's what I feel. Cancer top.
Cancer top, yeah.
So I saw some family fusing wherever we were,
or in his studio.
And I was like, are you f***ing kidding me?
He's like, got me and Bobby went on it.
And I go, with who?
Who else did he f***ing bring, man?
You didn't call me?
Well, first of all, you would have been on my team?
Yeah, 100%.
Dude, if I would have got rid of Esther, right?
And slotted you in, we would have won the whole thing.
100%. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, next time they ask me,
you're going to be on my family.
I cannot see her pushing a buzzer in time.
She didn't, not one time.
Did they even hear her answer?
No, her little hands doesn't even,
it doesn't register. Yeah, she's just like,
show me spatula.
They're like, what?
What are you stealing?
That was my team.
Good Lord.
So Gene Hong, one of my best friends at the end there.
And then Esther, I love Esther though.
It was a cute.
Yeah, Esther's cool.
She was there for aesthetics.
It tests well, it's cute.
Right, okay.
It's a cute team.
You didn't just cover all the bases for that?
What do you mean? You got diversified? Yeah. Right, okay. It's a cute team. You didn't just cover all the bases for that? What do you mean?
You got diversified?

You're Asian, you're lesbian.
Yeah. You're everything.
I don't know no one black guy.
I mean, Ian Edwards could have done it.
Ian's great. He's great.
But we lost to Flavor Flav.

members answered them okay yeah yeah it was funny because um every answer was
crack so this crack yeah but so Andrew and I are sitting there and so Steve
Harvey goes to him first,
and he's introducing him, he does like a 30 minute intro,
like me and my man right here, 1988, you know what I mean?
We were in Baltimore, just all these stories.
It was like 30 minutes long, and I whisper to Andrew,

Right? He comes in over there, I swear to God,
he goes, something happened to you over a summer.
I go, what do you mean?
He's like, I can't tell the audience.

But the first time I did it was with Nick and Pauly Shore.
And Pauly went out first.
And seven minutes in, I see Pauly doing his act from 1989.
Right.
He starts, and he starts going fast.
And I was looking at the audience, and they were like,
they were having a good time, but they were in a trance.
Right.
It's also, mind you, it's what, 10,000 people?
It was a shitload of people.
But also it was in like a field.
Yeah, it's a field.
It was outdoors, it was great outdoors.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They really mean out great outdoors.
It was in a force field where they were like,
no laughs, come in here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No laughs.
And they're all in picnic tables and lawn chairs. Yeah was bizarre yeah and they're also like you know eating things

Oh my God.
Because I didn't, okay, I've learned things. Just shut up. That's That's not true. Yes. It is true. I don't think you've learned any
In all these years, I'm gonna tell you what I learned. Okay, okay by doing a couple of these now, okay
But you taught me the most valuable lesson
Okay, right. So I did so Polly went up. He was supposed to do 30. He did 12
Right and he goes later later, you know what I mean?
Where were we at?
What city was it?
Edmonton.
And later, later, Edmonton.
And then I go up there, I'm like, I got this.
And five minutes in, I'm like, I literally ran out
of every joke I've ever written.
You both were like auctioneers doing material.
I know, we were like, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, like, buy buy buy, buy buy buy, buy buy buy.
Buy buy buy.
It was like that.
What the fuck?
Yeah yeah yeah.
It was fucking terrible.
And I was backstage, I'm like, oh I have to do two hours.
Yeah.
I'm like, oh my god.
Your benefit though was you get at least darkness.
Right, yeah. The light fucks us up.
Yeah, when you perform outdoors, daylight out.
Yeah, but what I learned later is I played to one table.
Right.
Right, you scope out who likes you,
and you just kind of pretend that you're doing it for them.
Yeah.
Okay, but you said to me and you're right
I was way too dirty and swearing way too much up front
Yeah, well both you and Polly because I've known both you guys 20 plus years
So I didn't see we haven't done a show like that in a while like like doing long sets or yeah
Yeah, both of you guys and I say fuck too, but you guys, it was so, it was every other word.
Keith said it so much.
It was so much, I was like, oh my god, you guys.
I never, like, will talk to a comic about what they do. I'm not like that guy, but I was like, you guys, that was insane.
And Polly was like, yeah, I've heard that before.
And I'm like, oh, okay, well, clearly you didn't.
Yeah. before yeah like oh okay well clearly you didn't yeah but it's just like when
you say fuck every other word it just dilutes the word yeah and you're losing
material because people are like it just desensitizes the comedy right so I
learned to slow it down mm-hmm sorry oh yeah I know I queef out of my mouth. Oh my God, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But um. Kellen semen.
Kellen semen alert.
And I slowed it down, played it at the table,
don't swear as much, and the next couple were fine,
but I remember you being kind of mad at me a little bit.
I wasn't mad at him.
You were giving me a nice, I know but.
Well I just like, I was just like,
you know, you'd be better than that.
You know, because it just fucks up your, because I love your comedy. just like, you know, you'd be better than that You know cuz it just fucks up your because I love your comedy. Yeah
Okay. Okay. Yeah, it was good. Well, you could say anything to me and I took that note and I and I incorporated in my life
Is that the gig, yeah, I mean that's literally yeah, Oh my god, it looks like the last of the Mohegan's.
Oh my god, you do! Holy shit!
Yeah, yeah. And that was you. Oh, there was still light out when you went up.
Oh wow, it's really bright out there.
Yeah, it was-
Yeah, oh my lord.
That is not an easy show to do.
Jeez.
No, it's not.
So do you do clubs right now or are you doing just theaters?
I'm doing theaters. I do clubs like to get ready for the theaters. Yeah, I did clubs all spring. Yeah, and then you love it
Yeah, it's fun, man. I have a whole new hour
It's called toilet head and then I just dropped in an hour called make joke from face. That's on YouTube now for free
So this is a whole new hour that I'm gonna tape in December and you know where it's gonna go
I'll probably just do it back on YouTube. A YouTube special?
Yeah, I just did one. It's on, I just dropped it this summer. Make
joke from face and then toilet hat will be,
yeah, probably. That's at San Jose Improv. Yeah.
Oh and okay another thing that happened, tell me about the San Jose.
So what? No, so I had come, I think it was after COVID and I was in Key West.
I had retired in my mind.
I was like, I am out.
I'm done with, I just didn't want to do it anymore.
So I get back and then I'm like kind of itching a little bit.
So I get to do a couple of smaller sets and then my agent calls me, we have the same agent.
And he calls me, he's like, Hey man, you want to do the San Jose improv?
And I'm like, dude, I just, it was MIA for a year and a half.
I'm like, I'm not ready.
I'm like, when is it?
He goes, next week.
Which is insane.
San Jose is one of the biggest clubs in the country.
And I'm like, and he usually book
at least six months ahead of time.
So I go, next fucking week?
What are you talking about?
Like I barely have five minutes. And I why and he goes Bobby bailed. Bobby
canceled and I go what? Why? And he goes he relapsed. Yeah. And I go oh fuck. So I
went like okay. So then I call Bobby. So I took the gig. I'm like I'll just throw
myself out there and see what happens. But I took the gigs, so I called Bobby and I go, hey, are you okay? And Bobby's like, what?
And I go, are you all right?
And he goes, he goes, yeah, why?
And I go, I'm picking up your San Jose gig.
And you're like, oh my God, thank you.
You're like, holy shit, thank you.
And I'm like, yeah, I'm like, are you all right?
And you were like, what'd you say?
Tell me what I said.
You go, I don't have any new jokes.
And I go, what? And you go, yeah, I have no fucking new material.
And I'm like, well, just do your thing.
Yeah. Yeah. And then I, but I don't know if that's true or not.
Did you relapse or? I did relapse. Yeah, I did relapse.
But also it was a, you saved me.
Because the last thing I mean, you know, it was like, because I had sold the tickets,
I had sold tickets and people were like super excited and then like, but then it's like,
if I could think of anyone that would be the best replacement or an elevated replacement,
it would be you. Yeah, they were really-
So it's almost as like, oh, you get, you know what I mean?
Kind of Bobby, but also better in a weird way.
I know, but I had to grow my hair out.
I had to draw on a mustache with a pencil.
Yeah, so it's interesting during COVID,
do you ever talk about what you did at COVID or no?
No.
You disappeared.
I can't because I started COVID.
Cal-She for your life.
I'm excited to show you an app called Cal-She.
It's the first legal exchange where you can trade bet on any event like the election.
You can bet on the election.
That's amazing. Do you think you know who will win the presidential election? Who knows?
So close guys. Or how many seats the Democratic or Republicans will win in the
House or Senate? Well there's finally a legal way to bet on the outcome of these
elections via a platform called Kalshi. Kalshi is the first legal exchange
where you can bet on any event including but not limited to elections.
Kalshi went to court and won legal approval for election betting for the first time in over a hundred years.
Wow!
They have markets on who will win the presidential election, who will control the House and Senate,
who will win swing states and more.
Kalshi is already being sued by a hundred000 of people and has facilitated over 1 billion
worth of trades.
Let's take an example, right?
Right?
Trump, Kamala are trading about 50-50, meaning if you place a bet on either or, you will
double your money if they end up winning.
So that's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
And they have other things too, like 2025 Oscar for best picture.
Bobby, do you think it'll be the Brutalist,
Onora or Amelia Perez?
Amelio.
They already have the 2025 best picture.
What else we got?
Something else juicy, Jordan?
Yeah, I'ma lose.

I can't because I started going
I can't because I started COVID. Oh, I see. Yeah.
No, I just went down to Key West on a fluke.
I had booked a trip pre-COVID and I forgot about it.
And then I went and I went to Key West for 10 days and then shit at the fan.
And I stayed for a year and a half and got drunk every day.
Yeah, you were in a hotel.
I was in a hotel for a year and a half a nice hotel
Yeah, it was like a really nice hotel. Yeah. Yeah
You had to pay for um, yes
Yeah, I can't imagine
Yeah, no, it was insane. It was great though. But another thing that I love about you
Yeah, is I remember you called me and you're like, hey, I'm doing this thing at the Brea Improv.
It's Bobby Lee and Friends new material.
And he goes, you gotta come by and work out.
And I'm like, done.
I'm like, because when you're a headliner
and you get that break to work out new material,
it's the best.
Because there's no expectation.
And so I was like, OK, cool.
And then I can't remember what happened. It took me a minute to do it. And then somebody told me so I was like, okay, cool. And then, I can't remember what happened.
It took me a minute to do it,
and then somebody told me, they were like,
yeah, Bobby's just doing the same shit, man.
He's not fucking doing anything new.
And then I called you again, I go, what the fuck?
But that's not true.
Okay.
That's, I'm gonna fight for my, what's that laugh?
I think so.
Yeah, yeah, it's ominous, I don't like it.
Okay, and it's not on my side. I'll take that laugh back, okay.
Take it back, dude.
They have laugh tracks, you have laugh back.
Laugh back.
What I wanna say to you, I wanna defend myself,
is that it seems to the common person.
Take it back, bro, take a laugh back.
Take that laugh back, dude, I don't like it.
Yeah, it's childish, all right?
So what I wanna say is that,
so when you wanna put some tags in a joke,
or reword it, and so people will go into a room,
oh, he's still talking, you know what I mean?
But I'm changing things, and I'm adding stuff in between.
So don't give me that face, dude.
I don't like the face, like, oh yeah yeah I don't know what face you're talking about. Yeah that one. So I but I could I do better?
Alright so I want to know who fucking said that anyway um but you never did
it. It was flavorful. You never did it. Um I didn't do it because then you stopped
doing it you didn't do it for that long. Yeah. Yeah, but um, I mean I see what you're saying

I went to one of his, it was like a benefit
that he think I was doing.
And he was wearing a fur jacket,
and he had black nails, like long nails,
and he was standing there like this,

Yeah, so many fucking times where I'm like, I wish I'd taken a picture. You didn't take a Val now
I just yeah, no, I mean I want to be cooler. All right, so here's the thing or just not now
Let's figure out let's figure out right now
How the fuck to do it because I don't know how to do it.
So you know what I do?
So when I was on Borderlands,
I asked Cate Blanchett's friend to ask her
when would be the right moment that we could have fun.
Right, it's always better to go through somebody.
Yeah, that's what I did.
And I go, don't even go to her directly, do you know?
I mean, it's like when it's dawn.
Is there a certain time, you know what I mean?
Right.
After the meal, between appetizers, like first.
When she's a wolf.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're like a weird gray area.
Yeah, yeah, I don't know what she does at night.
We don't know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's like, so there's, and then I,
I don't know how to do it sometimes, so I don't do it,
but let's figure out a way right now.
Well, if I see you with somebody, you do it, and then, I mean, I'll do Well, I'll if I see you somebody you do it and then I mean I'll do it and then if you see somebody okay
So who am I then?
you're
Rain man, I have to be Dustin Hoffman. Yeah, I don't want to do something. I don't want to do it. Okay. I'm just being
De Niro. Oh
Yikes Wow. Oh, it's getting worse.
Now you're a melted candle.
How you doing?
How you doing?
Robert De Niro?
How you doing?
Listen, how you doing?
Let's just, I'm the Dalai Lama.
Okay, that was a big jump.
I can do the Dalai Lama.
I don't even know how he sounds.
That's why, I don't either,
but no one does, that's why it works. Oh, so you're the Dalai Lama in any way. I can do any can do the Dalai Lama. I don't even know how he sounds. That's why I don't either but no one does
That's why it works. Oh, so you're Dalai Lama in any way. I can do any accent with the Dalai Lama. No one knows
So I'm the Dalai Lama, okay, and what are we at? What's the center? We're on a bus? Sure. Public bus. Public bus
Okay, yeah, and we're sitting we're not sitting next to each other, there's the aisle, but
we're across from each other.
Okay, and you're Dalai Lama?
On the public bus?
I don't understand, actually I don't understand where this is going.
So we're on a bus, and with the Dalai Lama.
What's so hard to fucking, you want to get a photo with the Dalai Lama, he's standing
on the bus.
I don't.
Oh, you don't want a bus?
Oh, I mean, yeah, I guess.
All right, well then, give him somebody he wants. Oh, who do you want to put oh, I mean, yeah, I guess all right well then give him somebody wants. Oh, yeah
Oh, who do you want?
Steve Harvey, okay, do you see hey?

You got to try your best Hey. Hey. Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Never seen Steve Harvey do that.
Dynamite!
Wait, wait, wait.
Hold on.
Just about that.
You said that?
What?
I heard this story.
I don't know if it's true, but I hope it's true.
Because you said dynamite.
Jimmy Walker.
Jimmy Walker from Good Times.
For people that don't know the young kids. So
Jimmy Walker played JJ on Good Times. And my friend was doing a gig and it was at a club,
it's like, I don't know, like 15 years ago. And so the club was like, hey, you got to pick Jimmy up
from the airport. So my friend didn't have a car. So he called his buddy and he's like, hey man,
can you, can I use your car? I got to pick up Jimmy from the airport and he goes no no no I'm gonna
drive and he's like okay but you were not supposed to talk to him. That's Jimmy Walker.
Yeah that's Jimmy Walker. That's in this early 70s though. Yeah this is later on.
Yeah. So he goes okay but you can't I was told not to talk to Jimmy just pick
him up. Yeah. And his buddies like okay so he's driving Jimmy they pick him up
Jimmy's in the shotgun and this comedian was in the back so they're driving and the club
told him he's like told the comic don't tell him to say dynamite don't say
dynamite don't fucking that was his catchphrase like don't yeah so his whole
life because this sitcom was huge his catchphrase was dynamite right right and
so everywhere he went,
people would just scream it from across,
he could be on a roller coaster, people, dynamite, yeah.
Yeah.
So, go.
Okay, so they pick him up, they're in the car,
and his buddy who's driving goes,
hey man, can you say dynamite?
And Jimmy Walker's like, no man, no, not saying dynamite.
And he's like, come on, you can say it once.
So the comic, his friend is in the back, who was like horrified, So he's like, you could say it one time. And Jimmy was like, no, man,
I'm not going to say it. So the guy, the comic friend pulls over to the side of the road
and he goes, I'm not going one more fucking foot until you say dynamite. And I guess Jimmy
Markle was like, okay, dynamite. Wow.
And the guy goes, okay, thank you.
And then started driving.
Oh my God.
Yeah, I think I've told that story before, but it's one of my favorites.
That is so embarrassing.
Oh yeah, the comic was like mortified.
It's like, oh my, I hope that's true.
I don't know.
It's also Jimmy Walker, this guy, right?
Is getting picked up by two random guys.
From a cloned accord.
I mean, right? it's so sad.
Yeah yeah yeah so Val Kilmer and then one time I met Bill Paxton.

It's like, what the fuck?
Or they go, I don't do it when I'm eating.
Like, who cares?
I mean, I don't want to do it like in the middle of,

Right.
And I'll have a second show and it's so out of control.
I can barely get them to even, it's a party.
Right.
Right?
And then I think after the show I think to myself, how the fuck does so and so do this?
You know what I mean?
Right. And in my mind I'm like, is it because I have
just a completely different audience?
Or do like, you know, because there are like,
comics like Demetri Martin, right?
Who has a different energy level.
I think to myself, how does he handle
rowdy rooms like this?
But he's not getting the fan base that we are.
Yeah, so what's wrong with our fan base?
I want his fan base.
I don't think there's anything wrong with our fan base.
They're just fired up.
Yeah, they're fired up.
I think their love is just, they're fired up.
One thing I saw one time, I'll never forget this,
I did, do you ever do Beacher's Madhouse?
Oh yeah, dude, that was wild.
Yeah.
Oh, I want to talk about that.
So, Beacher's Madhouse, for those of you guys who don't
know, there's a guy named Jeff Beacher,
who back in the day started in New York and then went to Vegas and he had this crazy fucking
variety show at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas.
The show started at midnight and he had like, literally everything, sword swallowers.
It's a circus.
There's dwarves, there's, you know what I mean, there's people on gigantic bikes, titties,
I mean the crazy.
Yeah, strippers, it's insane.
Then he would have standup.
So he wanted to do standup, I never did it.
Even Jeff's a really good friend of mine,
and I was like, no.
I'm like, this is like pure chaos.
It was like cocaine the musical in the crowd.
It was like fucking insane.
So the one guy I remember years ago,
I went and Sebastian.
Manos Kalko. Manos Kalko was on the show. I mean this is 15 years ago.
Yeah. And Sebastian was not as animated as he was now. He was very like just very
dry but so fucking funny. So we went out and he's like oh what's going on? All
right. Ross Dress for Less, have you been there? And the crowd's rowdy rowdy rowdy rowdy.
Yeah. He's just doing his thing. Yeah. He's not catering to him. He's just doing Ross Dress for Less, have you been there? And the crowd's rowdy, rowdy, rowdy, rowdy.
And he's just doing his thing.
He's not catering to him, he's just doing his thing.
And he's so funny, and then people slowly started listening,
slowly started listening, slowly started listening.
And then he just started murdering.
Because people, and I heard that about Steven Wright
back in the day, where he would do the same thing.
He would just do his bits and commit to his jokes,
and then the audience would have to catch up to him.
So he didn't go like,
ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba like Brian Callan.
Another thing they do is they lower their voice.
Love you, Brian.
They lower their voice.
Right.
So then people are like,
more quiet so that people hush to listen.
Yeah.
That's another technique.
Yeah.
That was, the first time I did Beatrice Madhouse,
I got off stage, and a lady that was literally on fire
started making out with me.
It was like a fire lady.
Oh my God.
It was like my face was, I didn't give a fuck.
I don't care if I get degree burns.
I was making out with, it was like every time you would do
that gig you would hook up.
Good Lord.
Good Lord.
But you had to, did they have to be on fire?
Or could you just hook up with anybody?
It was a joke.
I mean, she was just like one of those trapeze.
She was on, you know.
Oh, okay.
It was a joke.
She wasn't fully on fire.
It was just a joke.
Okay, sorry.
I trusted you.
Oh, okay.
You fucking let me down.
Yeah.
And I fucking kissed you.
But yeah, no, the show was pure, I've never seen pure chaos.
Another comedian that used to do that, like when first started I would see was Mitch Hedberg.
And he would go on stage in front of a rowdy ass crowd
on like Saturday night.
Was that Beatrice?
Yeah, that's it.
Imagine going after that and doing stand up.
Yeah, you have to follow that.
Yeah, that's what you would have to follow.
Oh my god, Bobby on acid.
Yeah, yeah.
Robert Kelly. Bobby Kelly you burn do it burn see burn used to do it burn used to do it. Yeah. Yeah
Wow, yeah, it was a fucking wild. He texted me. He was the guy that he texted me is
But I hadn't heard for Beecher for 20 years 15 years. He texted me two months ago
Hey, it's Beecher. I I go what's up? He goes the
bae wants to see you. Oh. He was the guy. I go what do you mean the bae? And he goes
Mike. I go I don't know Mike. I still don't even know him. Right, right. I go what is he?
He's a director. I go Michael Bay? What? Yeah and I go. You call him the bae? yeah, yeah, you go to the fucking Bay there's so many Bay I understand that
You're like I mean, I know lagoons
Yeah, my favorite thing you've ever said thank you so much
Did you meet the Bay? Yeah, you did call him. Wow.
Anyway, um, do you still like doing movies? Yeah. Oh, I've got, um, I just finished two feature
scripts and I'm really excited. What? That I wrote. Uh-huh. And then, um, what if I was like, no, I
just finished two features I read and I'm just gonna fucking hand them out. Yeah. Just go to the movies. Is
Happy Madison gonna do them? Um, I don't know, I gave one to Sandler, but then I wrote a pilot and in the pilot I wrote you in it. Oh you did it. I swear to God, my hand to God. I wrote a pilot called Bro Sasson and it's about an assassin that was raised in the jungle by his mom and he was trained to be a killing machine. His mom dies. He flies back to the US and he's never had a life before and then he becomes the biggest partier Wow but then still is an
assassin and you this program so I'm gross ass yeah like Tahoe Todd is name
yeah and then every every episode I have a guest assassin and I wrote the pilot
with you in it you play Honol God. Did you get picked up?
No, I just handed it in to a couple of producers.
What company? What network?
I don't know yet.
I just handed it in to some producers.
But you're also filming a lot.
Yeah, but I might...
I'm not going to bring up the thing you just did. I get it.
No, I can say Happy Gilmore 2.
I just can't talk about what I did.
He just did a Happy Gilmore 2. I just can't talk about it. He just did a Happy Gilmore 2.
Thank you so much.
Can't wait for it. Do you have a release date?
No, I think I heard rumors, but like early summer, I think.
But that's just a rumor. I don't know.
I want to watch it.
Don't be angry, Bobby.
Have you seen the first one?
Have I seen the first one?
Yeah, I understand.
By the way, this is coming from Bobby
who when I showed up here, he goes
Did you finish shooting Billy Madison 2?
I didn't say that
Like a gypsy
You know what I meant?
Yeah, you know what I meant, dude
You know what I meant, dude
Yeah, I did
So yeah, I'll keep you posted.
But even if like, there are 15 minute episodes.
So that's for Bro Sasson.
So it's a half hour, but with two 15 minute episodes.
Can I not die in it?
I know that every episode...
I can change it to where you don't die.
Because some, some of the...
Oh, but I do die?
You do die.
Oh, now let me die.
Do you want to die or no die?
If I'm in the pilot...
Die or no die! Yeah, I'll die, I'll die, I'll die. Okay. Well, let me die Do you want to die or no die if I'm in the pilot? I know die
Yeah, I'll die. I'll die. Okay. Well, whatever you want. Yeah, but either way
I think I'm just gonna fund it myself because it's so kind of bizarre
So I gave it to one of my friends is a director who was involved in peanut butter falcons great movie
And so I might just shoot it on my own so then we can just do it. I love Peter
So then we can just do it. I love Peter Falk
Yeah, that movie's great. Yeah, so either way like I love this funded on Kyle LeBouffe in it
Yeah, he's great. And my friend lies produced it
You know live Sarky. Yeah, he just directed a movie. I was in called sweet dreams Oh nice with me Johnny Knoxville and Theo. Oh great. Yeah, love all those people. Yeah. Yeah, Liza's great
He's the best. Yeah, he's great. He's the best.
Yeah, he's awesome.
I met him when he was a bartender at Baby Blues.
No.
Yeah.
Did you meet him when he was drinking?
Yeah.
He's sober now.
Yeah, he got fucking, he got fired for.
But he was like, just like the night,
like as soon as he called me, I was like,
I don't care what it is.
Yeah.
Sometimes you do that, it's like,
who also cares in this day and age?
Yeah. Just do whatever, I don't give a who also cares in this day and age? Yeah.
Just do whatever, I don't give a fuck.
Dude, I got offered a movie, my agent called me up and he goes, do you want to do this
movie?
And I go, what is it?
And he goes, it's you and John Claude Van Damme.
Oh, you have to do it.
And I go, yeah.
I'm not even going to read the script.
I know.
Yeah.
And he talked me out of it.
Your agent then?
Yeah, I was so bummed.
Why?
He just was like hammering, he's like, no, just trust me me and I'm like, this is the only reason I got into this business
Yeah, but the thing is is that I want to do I don't these with these movies
No one's gonna watch it
Well, sometimes they might sometimes like I mean fucking no
I know but who you don't know and it's like if I see a bad john clad van dan movie and you're in it
I'm not gonna be like fuck. I'm like this is cool! It's funny when people say that like dude why'd
you do that movie? It's a fucking movie! Yeah I barely graduated high school!
I know yeah yeah! I'm excited to just work! Also sometimes when I read a
script I don't know if it's good do you or not do you know every time? I can tell
pretty quick I can tell within the first five. I get confused I'm like you know every time? I can tell pretty quick. I can tell within the first five I get confused. I'm like you know what I mean? Well if it's really weird. I never know
when I like I remember I read the pilot for family guy and I just didn't
understand because it's so visual and like it's so rapid-fire that I was like
reading it I was like I don't know what's going on. I remember it's Sandler gave me
the script for the Zohan and I read it I was like what in the fuck?
Yeah. What is it? Yeah. And Sandler was like oh it Zohan and I read it and I was like, what in the fuck?
What is it?
And Sandler was like, oh, it's like,
and then he kind of explained it.
I was like, oh, but it was, I was like, what is going on?
You and Zohan too?
Yeah.
How many Sandler movies have you been in?
God, I don't know, 15, 20 maybe?
Wow.
I think.
What's your favorite?
Probably Avatar. A lot of people don't know that. Yeah, The Way of Water. Adam
Brode directed that. Yeah, yeah, The Way of Water. I don't know, they're all a
blast because Adam's fucking great. Yeah. I mean like I love Just Go, that was
super fun because it's filmed in Hawaii, you love Hawaii. That's why I cast you as
Honolulu Lu. We shoot in Hawaii? I don't know. Well no, I'm not gonna fucking shoot in Hawaii. That's why I cast you as Honolulu Lou. Will we shoot in? Wait didn't... I don't know. Well no I'm not gonna fucking shoot in Hawaii.
Don't get mad at me. No I am now. Yeah yeah. No, you're fired. What are you asking?
I'm no longer Ronnie Chang now? Ronnie Chang's on Honolulu Lou? I'm Richo.
Oh okay. I'm fired.
You lost.
I have a question. Yep. So like when... what? Go ahead. No, what? Yeah, go ahead. So like, when it like films, like when you're writing films,
I don't know, I had the idea in my head
about it, just lost it.
The locations, we got film locations, you guys write it.
Wait, what's going on?
No, no, sorry, sorry, sorry.
No, no, no, I love you.
No, no, no, Jaime.
Okay, it's like I'm.
Jaime, no, no, stop, no, no, you can still finish, okay?
Yeah, no.
But normally people don't get this chance. We work it in your head, I'll give you five seconds. No, finish. Yeah, no. But normally people don't get this chance.
Rework it in your head.
I'll give you five seconds.
No, no, no.
It was funny, because Jaime had the question.
Rework it in your head for five seconds,
and I'm gonna give you another shot, okay?
But I want you to be clear and precise.
Okay.
Five seconds?
Yeah.
So writing a script on a movie,
do you guys decide to choose a location of like Hawaii,
Africa or like somewhere do you guys?
Because the production of Y'all Fly Them Out.
For like vacation.
Is that why y'all do it?
No, you know what?? That's a valid question.
I know what you're asking.
It's a valid question.
In stage directions and descriptions,
what they do is they just put a question mark
and they let the studio decide where to shoot it.
How?
Because Blended was in Africa.
No, you're asking.
That was in South Africa, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
What you're asking me is, in the script,
do people know that it's shot in South Africa is
that what you're asking me? No like when you write it, oh no like I'm writing a movie. He's saying when you write a screenplay do you set the location or is it dictated by?
Yes right okay yeah for the vacation or just I don't know Hawaii is a vacation so. Correct. Oh is that what you're
okay this is what you're saying I know what the fuck you're saying no, no. I'm trying to clear it up with my mind.
I'm lying.
Oh, good luck with that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let me clear it with my mind.
Oh, God.
Can I clear it with my mind?
Yes, Rain Man.
All right, so.
Are you saying that if you put Hawaiian description
and like, they're like, we'll shoot in the Fijis,
is that what you mean?
No, like, okay, like, he's saying,
let me say what you're saying.
He's asking, when you're writing a script, do you set the location to dictate, like,
oh, we'll shoot here because it's fun and it's like almost a vacation.
Like, you know, like, so sometimes, but for the most part, if you have carte blanche like
Sandler, like, he can pick exotic locations, so, you know, because he gets a bigger budget.
Yeah. But I mean, if I'm writing a script, I try not to make it too expensive.
And if his script is located in a Hawaii-type setting, they might shoot in Mexico.
Yeah, we'll just cheat it.
Even there were some scenes in Just Go With It where we picked some of them up in like the
hills in Malibu.
Yeah.
So like, we, you know, we would just cheat it.
Yeah.
So yeah, but I mean, ideally I've, I've tried to, no, it's a, it's a valid question.
And I mean, I've written stuff where I'm like, Hey, what if it's in Hawaii?
And they're like, this is a, you know, a snowboarding movie.
I'm like, no, I know how funny would it be?
I know.
But yeah, I mean, if I could shoot everything in Hawaii,
there was a period where I kept trying to create TV shows that had to be in Hawaii.
Yeah.
And then like my agents just saw through it so quickly.
Yeah.
They're like, yeah, just...
It doesn't have to be in Hawaii.
I'm like, yeah, but fucking...
What if it is?
They don't have fucking lays everywhere. Yeah, you can make a lay head anywhere. So Fox wanted to do a show with me and Theo.
So two years ago they called me and they go, how do we get Theo more involved?
And I just said, you got to shoot in Hawaii.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's got to be in a show in Hawaii.
What was the show?
They were going to do anything with us. We just want to use two together and we'll in a show in Hawaii. What was the show? They were gonna do anything with us.
We just want you two together,
and we'll get a show runner, and we'll write a show.
Right.
There's no way he'll do it without Hawaii.
And Fox goes, oh, okay, and they wrote it down,
and then everything was, every pitch was about Hawaii.
And I don't know if Theo likes Hawaii, but I did it.
I like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you have to do that so yeah you got
a go for it is that Hawaiian five-o oh no that was already a show that was like a
reboot oh you're saying I was on the reboot Magnum PI no it's Hawaiian were
you on Magnum PI yeah I'd like 15 episodes no you weren't yeah you did 15
like 12 maybe 12 yeah that's a lot. That's great. What did you play? I played gin
So basically when they're like no, no, no, basically when like magnum was like we gotta we gotta go to the streets, right?
Right. They would they would pick
what
Showing gin. Yeah. Yeah. Well good. Like the one that um, yeah, so I played gin
So every anytime that they would,
any, what I hate about shows like this,
because I've done,
what's that other one that LA,
it's the same kind of show.
Like, is it gonna SVU or something like that?
Yeah, something, I've done a couple of those too.
Procedurals, yeah.
Procedurals.
They're just, the dialogue, I fucking hate them.
Yeah.
They're just so like, you know what I mean?
Technical.
Technical.
Yeah, fuck that.
About some sort of like mineral
or fucking some sort of like,
you know what I'm saying?
Like some sort of sciency, you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like you're sitting there trying to memorize,
it's fucking, I hate it.
Yeah, memorizing sucks anyway.
That's why it's good like being a writer.
Yeah.
Because then I can just dictate what I'm saying
and how long I'm gonna say it.
Well, Hallelujah, right? I'm gonna go, here. It's quick, it. It's like I know but what I'm gonna say to you is this on set
I'm gonna go hey, can I say it like this? Yeah, would you would you be mad at that?
I wouldn't be I mean it depends if it's in a context that will enhance the key
Give me a complicated sentence and see if I can rework it. Okay
Hi, my name is Honolulu. Lou
No, I would say that I I know how to memorize that.
I don't know.
Hi, my name is Honolulu Lou.
Yep, you failed. That's not good.
My name is Honolulu Lou.
Better.
Give me a shot.
Okay.
Am I auditioning right now? I'm sweating.
Well, you're the one that was giving...
Give me a complex line I want to see if I can...
Give you a complex line. Okay.
Exercise. God damn it.
All right. Okay, yeah.
Well, let's think of um, okay
So the volcano right now is that gonna erupt in the Celsius latitude longitude?
That will be contemporary to the social vernacular. Yeah. Hey Nick. Can I see this is the volcano gonna go rub?
Yeah, say that yes, okay. Yeah. Thanks man. Yeah. okay. That was good. Yeah. Thank you. That's what I mean
Okay, so you're just gonna just cut out all this and just make it remedial moron city. Okay great
That was a great exercise
But yeah monologues are horrible so you you know Mary Lynn Rice Cub, right?
Love her.
So Mary Lynn's great and she was on the show 24.
I know she was great.
And she auditioned for it. I remember this vividly and she was like, I saw her at some show and she was like, oh my god.
She goes, I went in for this show and
the f***ing dialogue was so dense and she goes, I got the part.
Oh, that's great.
She goes, yeah, it's Fox show.
Keep yourself on.
And I go, it's awesome.
She goes, I know.
But like all my dialogue is she goes, I play like I never saw.
But yeah, she'd be like a techie scientist.
Okay, I want to say I've seen every 24.
Is her dialogue pretty intense?
Not only intense, because she plays like a computer-y kind of like girl right? So she's not only the dialogue hard but
she is absolutely amazing in it. Yeah I bet. She fucking kills it in it. Yeah so
but some of like but I probably saw that and went God Marilyn's good. She can see all
these things. Right yeah. I could never do that. I couldn't I couldn't either. I
remember when Tommy was at the Comedy Store. This is after all the 24's. I could never do that. I couldn't either. I remember when Tommy was at the Comedy Store.
This is after all the 24s. I mean, so she was on Mr. Show and Larry Sanders Show.
Yeah.
And I go, I bring a fucking Mary Lynn up to the cover booth. Tommy's there. And I go,
Tommy, you got Mary Lynn here. He's like, what's up? And I go, Mary Lynn, he goes,
she wants to get in? good she's she wants to
showcase she's got to show up at open mics like she treat he treated her like
he didn't know the fuck she was other way she's done standing for dude you're
preaching to the choir right I was livid. I screamed at him. Now she wasn't around. I pulled him aside
and I go, what the fuck? Do you know what comedy is and who's in the business? He goes,
yeah I do. Brennan Shobbs on stage. So the answer is, fuck yes. It's going to start
another war. Because I had a war with him, do you know that?
No, I know that's why I'm poking.
It's so great.
I'm friends with Brian.
I love him, great guy.
Big head, but anyway.
You know what I mean?
You want to plug anything?
My tour right now, nickswardson.net, real nickswardson.instagram, toilet head, that tour

Years probably 40. Yeah, there's me. Yeah 40 plus
Yeah, I mean like that's fucking insane. Like how long did Don Rickles did it for literally like 80 years?
I mean, yeah, but it's also another thing that we had to do it changed. It changed drastically. Right so you have to change
too. Change like what are you saying? Like it's oh it's not about like
auditioning now and like you know I mean. No. Or getting the five minute set for
the Tonight Show or whatever. Yeah. It's about the internet. Yeah. They kind of
change you know I mean that's how this is happening you know I mean.. Yeah. Well, back in the day for people that don't know talk
shows, well, late night talk shows, that was the shit. So
you won and we were before like when the tonight show was Johnny
Carson and you did one five minute set and your fucking life
was over. And like in a good way, I was talking to Mike
Binder. He was like, sorry, sorry, Binder goes, sometimes it wouldn't work.
Well yeah, it could have the adverse effect.
Yeah, it could have the adverse effect.
But if you hit it on The Tonight Show,
I mean you're talking about 17 million people,
I don't know how many people are watching at one time.
Yeah, 20 million people.

And he's like, OK. And then so I go on stage.
And after my buddy I was with was like, Joe turned to him and goes,
he's not just going to do one joke. And my buddy goes, yeah.
And I just went on stage, just did one joke. And I just went by and I walked off.
And Joe was like, what the fuck? That was so, oh my God. I was like,
yeah, I would have laughed so hard. Yeah. Yeah. It was fun.
So I didn't want to bring it up. You so hard. Yeah. Yeah, it was fun. So I didn't want to bring it up You know, I mean, yeah, it's fine. I know but I'm just saying so something happened. You mean it went a little viral
It went a tad viral. I hate talking about talking about it
And if you want us to cut it out, we'll cut it out. No, it's fine. I just like talk to the audience
I don't know. Yeah
I never fucking asked you about it.
I know.
Oh my God.

Oh my God.
You're making fun of my hands.
You're doing the Adam Levine.
You got addicted to fucking Levine in it.
So yeah.
So you were in Denver?
Yeah, I started my club tour to get ready for the fall tour
Right, so I was doing clubs and I went into this gig in Vale, which is 9,000 feet altitude
Yeah, so I know better so I flew into Denver to acclimate
So I did and I came in had a couple drinks and then we drive up to Vale and I was in such a good mood
So I was fired up about my new set, but it was still really new.
So I get to the venue, I go to the hotel, check in,
get a couple cocktails, and I'm in Colorado.
So somebody's like, hey, do you like edibles?
And I go, yeah, but I usually take them before I go to bed.
But I was like, fuck it, I'll just do a couple.
But I go to the theater, I'm with Ari Maness,
who's opening for me, super funny,
and we're sitting there, and I forgot my set list, and I and I was like oh shit it's a new set so I'm like
already goes on it's killing and I'm in the back of getting ready and then all
of a sudden I don't remember anything so I remember going on stage I remember
that and then all of a sudden I just went blank and I didn't have my piece of
paper that had my set list so I was like trying to piece it together
and edible everything just in one.
Infused.
Yeah, eye of the tornado.
Yeah.
And I was like oh my god.
And I just was trying to power through it.
After the fact, Ari told me the venue was like
we gotta pull Nick.
And Ari's like don't pull him.
He's like he'll figure it out.
Wait, wait.
So when you're up there, do you know
you're losing the room?
I kept trying to do it, and they were like, what the fuck is Nick doing?
And so it was kind of getting-
How many people in the audience?
I don't know.
Probably like maybe 600, 500, 600, I think.
But it was, I just remember it being blurry. And I was, I was I kept trying to people were if I remember correctly
People were like yeah, come on Nick. Come on, you know
So they remember my fans are so nice, but I think there are other people that didn't know who I was
All right, right because they were like
So they polled me and then I remember the crowd started booing
But I don't think I mean I think some people were booing because they were like what the fuck was that
but I think other people were booing because I got pulled. I was like what the
fuck why are they pulling it? Yeah yeah yeah but I mean it could have been either or.
Who pulled you? The venue they were just like. Wait wait so somebody some random guy?
Yeah so one of the guys was like hey you know like you know that I
oh my god you know what walked up. And what did he say to you? Do you remember?
No they were like hey what I don't know I actually, you know, walked up. And what did he say to you? Do you remember? No, they were like, hey, what, I don't know.
I actually have no idea what he said.
But I just remember when I was like, all right.
I don't know.
How much time were you up there, like 10 minutes?
No, I think it was like 15.
15 minutes.

Wow.
And it was my fault.

But yeah, it was just it was stupid and then I did my shows after lighted Aspen and Denver and they kill
