Starting point is 00:15:31 Yeah, just have fun. I don't know that there's any tips or anything. You ever get nervous up there, but it's a garden. You get the maddest you got the arena here with a 20,000 people gawking at you. No, I thought it would be, I thought I would be nervous, but I'm not just because it's, uh, the, the people there are so in love with the show and the experience that you're just sort of walking out into a sea of love and radiation. And so you feel that energy and so yeah, don't really get nervous by it. Are you aware that there's a video with over three million
Starting point is 00:16:07 views of you destroying someone's career on that panel? Oh, did you? I don't know about the career. The video is saying he destroyed his career His thumbnails like to really blow it up with the drama What does that mean? It's someone's first time, isn't it? No, it wasn't this? No, no, a guy I went at him and he went at the guy. He went, uh, David Lucas went at you.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Oh, yeah. And then he's supposed to be some like great, uh, insult. Well, that's what he's a roast guy? A roast guy. David Lucas, yeah. I didn't know who he was and I, I didn't know much about the show. I went out to do. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:16:37 Yeah, I'd never done it. I'd never met Tony. What? I'd never watched it. And so I didn't know hardly anything about this show. And then I was out doing Rogan's Club. Uh-huh. And Tony asked me to do Kill Tony.
Starting point is 00:16:53 And so I said, okay. And I went out and this guy, David Lucas came out. I didn't know who anybody was. Sure. Well, who we on with? I didn't even know Tony. It was the first time I met him. Was this Tony Hawk episode?
Starting point is 00:17:07 I guess so. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Keep going. And then the comics were coming out. I was like, okay, having fun. And then this guy, David Lucas, comes out and starts coming at me. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:17:33 So I just started hitting them back, like roast com. I guess they just, yeah. He's a portly fellow. So I think you started attacking his, uh, figure yeah i just went after everything and uh the same way he was doing yeah and then i did it again in l.A and he they brought him out again i didn't know and now i knew his schick so i said okay i'm in a machine gun this guy and i just i just was relentless and i just kept going and it's got millions of views it does yeah i think what's great about you is you don't you're not

Starting point is 00:19:01 yeah I get it why did you smash the bottle what were you so angry about I don't know he just handed me the bottle I felt I had to use this I panicked I fucking freaked out Well, that's an avant-garde show.
Starting point is 00:19:14 I didn't think it happened. Yeah. Wild. Did you not like it? I loved it. I just wondered where the sudden emotional outburst came from. I didn't want it to be discovered that it was a... Did you know it was a sugar bottle?
Starting point is 00:19:27 Damn it. All right. I figured he knew, so I was like, let me just... It was a prop bottle, obviously. Yeah. They called it glass candy. Yeah, breakaway glass. It tastes good.
Starting point is 00:19:37 No, no, I just tasted it. It doesn't taste good. What is this bottle? It's not sugar anymore? Oh, it's resin. Yeah, yeah. This is like a Hollywood prop, yeah. Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:19:47 This show is fucking Hollywood. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The only thing you ought to be careful is not to get any in your eyes. That's a potential hazard. I had a real egg on my head last time. He got me good on the top. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:20:01 I had just like a cartoon bump. Oh, he hit you over the head with that? We hit each other. He was passed out. Then I stuck a bottle up his ass while he was passed out. Spacey. It was fucking. weird.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Oh, there. Nikesies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, hey, you know, it's part of the doing business. It's fun. It's funny.
Starting point is 00:20:21 We're having fun. I guess. It's a funny gag, dude. Hey, how's your movie doing? Oh, Wingman? Yeah. Thanks for asking it. We're getting real close to,
Starting point is 00:20:30 real close to getting distribution. And I think, I think October, November, we should have it out. Oh, my Lord. And we're also going to do one of those pages like, Shaila Bow just did it where you can put your movie on a page and just go there and download it for like 10 bucks.
Starting point is 00:20:50 I like it. Versus having to, you know, join a whole subscription service or join Netflix. And so we're going to do that too. And once it's up there, I'll let you know where you can see it. Oh, boy. I can't wait. We're excited.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Yeah. That's a boomer. Thank you. We're excited. We got a call today about potential financier for a movie we're making. Yeah. Oh, really? We wrote one.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Oh, wow. Right now he said it's a little long and he's not wrong. How many pages? 120. We overwrote it for sure. You had it down to 95. Yeah, we will. We will.
Starting point is 00:21:22 I mean, that's that much. 95 pages. That's an hour and a half, right? Yeah, I guess so. And even though you're going to shoot 95, my wingman was 95 pages and the final full edit was two hours and 20 minutes. Whoa. So because you got to remember, you know, if someone says,
Starting point is 00:21:40 hey, I'm going to the car. yeah well that's that's a line in the script and they see each page is a minute but then if you decide to show the guy walking to the car and getting in he does something on the way he picks up like so you did you made a comedy that's two hours and 20 minutes yeah but i cut it down to 140 oh okay good so the final product will be 140 and and it's that's why i'm saying go out of the gate short because then you don't have the pain of cutting all this extra stuff and i'm assuming nowadays like You know, when we shot Rocket Man back in the 90s, we shot it in over three months. Wow. And we shot Wingman in two weeks. Holy hell. Why do you think that is? Because that's the way everything is now.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Even big productions, studio productions, Netflix. It's wild if you shoot a movie over 30 days. Like most places. What are you doing for those three, over three months when you're shooting a movie? Because Rocket Man's a short movie, isn't it? It's like an hour of that? No, it's a standard movie. But it was, we were shooting a page, a page.
Starting point is 00:22:41 page and a half a day. On Wingman, we were shooting upwards of nine to 12 pages a day. Well, that's the name of the game now. It's insane. Back then, you had a craft service queef. You had to do like all these overtime laws. Oh, we got to stop production. Oh, we went too long on lunch. We got to shave a day. Well, it's not that really. It's just that they had the money and movies were more of an investment than there was a limited amount of studios. Got it. So when you made a big movie, it got a lot more play because it's kind of like when we only had the three TV networks it was like this is where you have to go to see things but now the spectrum is so vast to see material that production companies and producers are cranking stuff out almost overnight and they can't afford it to do
Starting point is 00:23:29 it any other way so yeah we shot wingman in 15 days for God's sake so that's awesome though we were doing some a lot of movies you do maybe one location a day maybe two we were doing up to four locations a day full full moves Christ nonstop it was insane boy it must be nice to be done it's it's it's nice to be done but when you're in it it's sort of like if you're passionate about it if you if you believe in the project and you're passionate about the material it's almost like a fever dream like you're just in it it's like you're on a you're in a marathon and you're running and your your heart's gone and everything is like fluid.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Yes. It's a beautiful thing. You're exhausted at the end of the day, but. Was there one particular day we were like, fuck yes. We're like, we really got something cool here? You know, because I directed it, I wrote it, and I started it as the lead. I didn't have time to think about anything. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:24:28 So it was just, it was just, I got there and it was nonstop. And at the end of the day, I'd go, why do my feet hurt? Right. I realized I didn't sit down. all day because if I'm not directing or acting I'm directing the amount to do some amount dude kept me going right here you're going to get sliced off yeah but that's so cool but let me ask you you're barreling through this movie four locations today shoot shoot shoot yeah what happens if you fuck something up you got to reshoot you got to do
Starting point is 00:24:59 pickups yeah is that included in the 15 days yeah we had one we had one day where we had to go back to another location because we didn't get everything we needed yeah And luckily, we were able to, like, scoge it in. But it was a nightmare. It costs a lot of money every time you go back and rent a location. But luckily, we got it. And even after going back, we still didn't get everything I needed. So then you get into the editing bay and you go, okay, I've got 70% of what was on the page.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Now you've got to get creative with the cutting and the editing and hope that you can assemble a scene. yep but if you had had you know a day for each scene or a day for each page you could you get everything you need so damn yeah you cut 40 minutes so so i mean you must have cut a few scenes oh yeah i cut scenes that i didn't want to cut like an elaborate scenes like i cut some scenes that were like really complicated and elaborate and and funny that's it's just it's like you have to you know it's brutal that is brutal that's what i'm saying if you get are going to do a movie shorten it so you know what you're getting and you don't have to go through the pain you're still going to have to cut a whole bunch yeah that's all right jokes in there
Starting point is 00:26:18 you don't want to lose them i know but you do you lose i cut tons of jokes think about how many jokes don't make you special though dude that's true damn yeah so if if you if you try and you know compact everything at the beginning it's less painful surgery at the end right right so piece of advice now it's nice that we you can shoot quick like we've gotten to a point rocket man took what two months you said three three months this took 15 days yeah would it be nice if we could condense the producing time all the meetings the phone calls the zooms that's the part we have we have a lot of cooks in the kitchen yes yeah it's forever this is not normal how many people we have involved in this why do you have so many what's up pussy's oh shit

Dude, the funny, I've told, I think I said this on your pod the last time, but the funniest, something that I actually go to and, like, laugh at when I'm feeling bad, like, when I need a pick-me-up as a comedian, I watch when you and Andrew Santino, that clip when you hit the hit him what kept hitting the lotion.

Starting point is 00:30:50 That's what, yeah. Wow. The book is great, the Kitchen Confidential book. If you watch the documentary Roadrunner, I watch it on planes a lot. He says, like, when he was 43, he was like, I thought, like, six months before he got famous, Road Kitchen Confidential, he was like, oh, I thought the best years of my life had happened already. I was 42, about to be 42. I thought all the fun I was ever going to have in my life had happened because I was already in my early 40s.
Starting point is 00:31:11 But he was like, I didn't realize my life was just about to begin. And it was a happy ending. Oh, wow. That's it. Covers come. Got the job, Mark. Oh, sorry. I saw him in a Knicks game once, and I watched Larry Johnson the basketball.
Starting point is 00:31:23 player would go, oh my God, that's Anthony Bourdain. It's just crazy to see an NBA player starstruck, but it was like he had that. He was one of the best guys ever. What do you play in the movie, if you don't mind? I play young Bordane. Young Bourdain? Yeah, about seven years old. A big lollipop.

Starting point is 00:35:01 All right, that'll do it for us. All right, that'll do it for us. All right, late in Salakus. You're dressed like a candy corn. From the river to the sea. Remember to see you later. There you go. Let's see you, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Awesome. Wow, what a treat. Nice popping. Damn. Good to see you, boys. Ball of energy. Oh, that's the anti-fatter. Is he?
Starting point is 00:35:28 No. All right. Damn. See you later. It was very good, Mark. Thanks. We were talking about the movie. That's what we were.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Let me hear about your movie. What's your movie about? Can you say? Yeah, well, can we say? Yeah, the brief thing is we're liquor salesman because we have our liquor and, we're struggling with the business, basically. It's loosely based on what we're going through here, but we're not comedians in it.
Starting point is 00:35:49 We're just liquor salesmen. So what's the hook? What's the objective? Well, the new generation doesn't drink. They all vape and, you know, are quiffs. Okay. So we're like a couple old school duches who try to come back in there and sell some liquor. And it's not going great.
Starting point is 00:36:04 He meets a lady, and we've got to figure out how to finagle the business and get back on our feet. There's a lot. There's a lot of labor. We're not good at pitching. The script is good. It's a good script. It's really a joke bag. It's a vehicle for the humor.
Starting point is 00:36:17 And it shoots in New York. Yeah. And we got all, we got Stavros, Atel. We want Colin Quinn. We got some ideas. You got your locations? No. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:27 We're going to sell it first. Does a lot of it take place like in the liquor store or in a bar? A lot of it's in a bar. Oh, so you're selling liquor in the bar, not a liquor store. But we're trying to get the liquor in the bars. And we're doing it ourselves. we don't have a distribution or anything so it's okay yeah what kind of so you haven't sold the movie yet no no or meeting today with a financier who looks promising oh good how much your budget i don't know
Starting point is 00:36:55 three five mil three to five and you want to shoot in new york yeah okay but hey if it's like hoboken that's great yeah well you you learn to make good with what you got like wingman technically takes place in New York sort of in the outer like not in Manhattan but like out on the I don't know New York that well so Mark and I are in Somalia we're like man the city is kicking man Yonkers or I don't know yeah we do all that but wingman's New York but we shot in a small little like mining town in Ontario really by Green Bay but it works the lake but it worked and it works you know so you sort of miraculously you find what you need like yeah aagle yeah you just you just a big part of it is learning to be able to adjust and adjust on the fly and don't get
Starting point is 00:37:46 married like to something like just learn how to adapt quickly and move along and it helps jeez okay okay because sometimes your ego or your your work you can go well i wrote it that it takes place in a grandiose glass ballroom well we don't have that and if we do have that it cost $4,000 a night. So then you have to, you have to learn to adjust on the fly. Right. Yeah. How can I make this work and still make it feel and look? So can I ask what you spent? Yeah, I think it was just over two million. Wow, that's cheap. Yeah, yeah. Now, what if we kind of, uh, did you use your own money if you want me asking? No, we, we got part of it was grants from the Canadian government and the rest was private investors. No, I'd say half and
Starting point is 00:38:36 half yeah that's amazing man yeah what if we kind of ride dirty a little bit and don't get uh you know we just shoot and run and gun no permits yeah uh i don't know the legalities of that but you could get in trouble especially if there's an accident like if there's someone get remember the kid on the train tracks in that one movie a train came and they didn't have permits and what movie is that this happened a few years back but it was uh i think jeff daniels was in it or somebody but there was an indie movie where they were shooting on a train track and they didn't have permits and the girl got caught and hit by the train.
Starting point is 00:39:14 So if there's an accident and you don't have permits, that could be a big liability. So that would just, yeah. And Alec Baldwin, accidents never happen on a moment. Right, but so it sucks, but. Different gun to shoot. Yeah, you can, you can go. I'm not saying don't do it, but just remember there's,
Starting point is 00:39:31 could be ramifications, that's all. Okay, okay. Well, we got no trains. We got no guns. Yeah. I don't think there's any guns in the movie. No, just boozeing and partying and jokes. Like, just, you know, sometimes you just got to go for it.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Yeah, it's like an old school comedy. I think it's pretty fun. I love it. Yeah. It sounds like it leans on the writing. Yeah. Like the comedy writing a lot. It's a great.
Starting point is 00:39:53 For sure, yeah. Like, naked gun, no one remembers the plot of the heist or whatever. Yeah. You know, I mean, sure, it's the baseball game or whatever, but it's just the jokes. You remember the jokes. That is humor, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's, I mean, that's what got us into this stuff is movies like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:10 That's exciting. Well, we're going to have a sequel about an art heist. Yeah. Wow. Full circle. Okay. All art. All right.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Those guys came in. I feel like I got dittled. They just came in and put a finger up by hand. Chris with his mic in the backwards cap. Yeah. They really October 7th in there. They came in and left. Tsunami.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Yeah. Yeah. We're slammed. Tsunami. That's what got Gilbert fired. It was? Affleck. Afflack.
Starting point is 00:40:41 He lost the Affleck job. What was it? Why? He made a tsunami joke, right? Yeah, what was the joke? Pull that up, Faddy, if you can. But yeah, that was one of the early... Were you pals with Gilbert?
Starting point is 00:40:52 The irony is that ducks can swim. Yeah. That's true. I knew him a little bit. I did one movie with them. We did Rodney's final movie back by midnight. Whoa. And I was in that and Gilbert was in it.
Starting point is 00:41:08 How was Rodney? Rodney was great, but he was in sort of the final throws. You could tell. He was, he was excited and working hard, but you could tell he was, he was sort of, his health was fading a little. Yeah, yeah. That light, that spark, even though inside it was there, you could just see age was catching up to him. so that was a bit tough to see but he was I loved him he was great he's a brilliant comedian yeah was he doing bathrobe no underwear was it that job that period yeah I mean
Starting point is 00:41:46 smoking weed yeah I would go to his place and uh he would have a we'd just sit in his living Ronnie's house yeah yeah wow he really liked me after that movie he became after I did back by midnight he became really we became pretty close He just loved me in the movie And so he'd have me over And honestly, I've never even heard of the movie That's crazy Yeah, it was kind of a straight to DVD
Starting point is 00:42:13 Type of deal But there's a lot of comedians in it I think Joey Diaz was in it I think he was in it And I'd go to Rodney's place And he had a pill bottle Yeah
Starting point is 00:42:28 With the thinnest little joint you've ever seen I'd sit there and talk for hours And he'd finish one and light the next one on the roach like he would chain smoke the damn and he just said it helped them he said he suffered from depression sometimes and he said it just helped them and yeah i i think he was wearing that that robe yeah but he was nice to you oh he's really no he asked me to write uh caddy shack three oh yeah i couldn't believe it yeah he literally asked me to do it and and it was it was very bittersweet because I was like
Starting point is 00:43:02 wow I'd love to but I like I said not to be more but he could tell he was sort of he'd already had some pretty bad health issues and so but it was amazing he just yeah and he just he would sit there and just show me project after he goes
Starting point is 00:43:18 I'm doing this and I got a thing I'm doing in Vegas and I got this movie and like he just and it was it was sort of incredible to see that his creative spirit just was non-stop yeah We might be joined and brought you by Shopify

Oh, you're just standing there sipping a Mountain Dew. Just sipping, sipping a mountain dew, saying a prayer, holding, you know, holding his hand. And then later that night he passed away. Damn. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:13 What was that, 99? Something like that? I forget. But, yeah, it was tough, man. Good, good guy. Brought a lot of joy to people. Yeah, one of the best. And helped young comedians.
Starting point is 00:50:25 He literally had a young comedian special where he threw everybody a bone. He really liked doing that, yeah. 2004. There you go. Yeah, was that kind of surreal? Just, I mean, hanging with him, it must have been like, this is crazy. This is fucking... Yeah, it was very surreal because I didn't know him that well.
Starting point is 00:50:41 And then when I did the movie, he'd see me a few times at the clubs. And then when I did his movie, he just called me up out of the blue one day. I forget what I did. He's Holland. It's Rodney. go hey man he goes you stole the movie man and i was like and then after that he was like come hang out and just things like that and and uh so i sort of got close to him and and and joan and uh yeah so it was a real honor just to be around that kind of
Starting point is 00:51:12 legendary guy you know yeah would you say he's your favorite uh who's your favorite comic ever who really grabbed you i like guys like stephen wright who are like really clever sort of um there was a guy from montreal named sean keen that should have been a star but never got there and you you wouldn't know him but what happened he uh he was a real kind of introvert and he didn't really understand he was very bad at the business side yeah but he was he was so funny he had this whole kind of body language he did and after Every joke, he'd go, Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Like, he had this whole thing, and his jokes were like, my girlfriend told me to stop finishing her sentences, and I said, period. Mm-hmm. Like, he'd say stuff like, I woke up this morning, there was a little baby on my doorstep.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Mm-hmm. I got home tonight. The little bastard was still there. Like, he just had, he just had this kind of thing, interesting one liners but they were so good and he passed away unfortunately but right from when i started my comedy career he was one of my favorites yeah see that's the that's the problem with the gatekeeping system back then now he could just put a shit this shit on youtube yeah but he might catch i still don't believe that the cream always rises to the top though i still think it's tough
Starting point is 00:52:45 like because you could say that now but then a guy like that he doesn't understand the business is he can understand like social media yeah he was he was it was it was tough to watch because he he of all the people i've met i thought should have been a star you know wow and i think he knew it too which not in a conceited way but he just he just knew that he he was a prolific writer yeah and he just knew he had something different but he he he was also paranoid about people stealing his stuff and that held them back right so he wouldn't release stuff uh so he wouldn't release specials yeah he just he his stuff doesn't live anywhere or anything We can't.
Starting point is 00:53:24 There's a few little things. I got him on a Canadian talk show once. Whoa. And he did a set and he did an evening at the improv once. He actually came to Hollywood and did an evening at the improv. But he just. Hit that on YouTube. Maybe it's out there.
Starting point is 00:53:42 But it's also one of those guys, too, to see him live was so much more rewarding than, you know, any footage would tell. Sure, sure. He was definitely one of my. my faves. Oh, wow. And I love Nick DePaolo because he's, um, he's just some guys pretend they're angry. Yeah, yeah. He's not pretending. He's just, he's just angry and edgy and right. I really love that about it. Well, there he is. Okay, evening at the improv. That was you. Yeah, and I was in the crowd watching them. Are we, where are we in L.A? This is on hall and on, on, uh, this is in, uh, yeah, in L.A.
Starting point is 00:54:21 It's just a joke, I guess. Clip is only 19 seconds. All right. great perfect no lesbians just chicks have yet to meet me have yet to meet me oh let's see how he moved it's just yeah wow that's hilarious oh i just you just had this rhythm and yeah they didn't have it there but usually after every joke you go like like he'd accent every joke with these grunts give me one more Give me one more. Yeah, see if there's another one of it. One joke at a time. I don't know my grandmother's stuff's or bra.
Starting point is 00:54:59 At least it feels that way. I love it. I love the movements. I love the look. He's got me. I'm a fan. Anything else? Maybe have any more?
Starting point is 00:55:13 I love he posted one 18-second joke at a time. That's hilarious. I mean, I don't think it was just the gatekeepers holding this guy back. This is. see one where he does the grunt get all the way to the beginning you got it there we go I met my wife
Starting point is 00:55:32 in a nightclub she was sitting across the bar and I started to come on to her you I didn't know I could squirt that fire ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha classic look at the dance what the hell
Starting point is 00:55:52 It's like an Elvis thing. That's his other thing. Thank you. Thank you. How did he pass away? Passed away young. Well, what was the killer is he had had a heart surgery when he was young. I think he had a hole in his heart and he was so paranoid that he would swim and he would run nine to 15 miles a day and swim like.
Starting point is 00:56:22 eight miles a day like just all every day that's what he did yeah and apparently he um he was just at home he was very quirky still lived with his dad whoa and he was you know i think he was in his 50s and then he um they just found him at the keypad on the computer like face down oh yeah just went in the room and he was from what i heard he was just sitting at the computer yeah wow But had boxes of jokes. Like Rodney, he just said he'd write all these jokes down and had boxes of jokes. And you were very close to them. We were pretty close.
Starting point is 00:56:58 He was a hard guy to get close to. But we had sort of a kindred spirit. And I was always, he'd phone me and we'd talk for hours. He'd go, Sean, come to L.A. You can stay at my house. You can stay here for three months. I'll help you. I'll introduce.
Starting point is 00:57:11 Oh, well, you know. And he would never. He was like his worst enemy, you know. Oh, man. But it just broke. And then finally I just gave up. on trying to help because I could see he was never going to happen
Starting point is 00:57:24 and it broke my heart but damn I just he to me should have he was just great just the performance the aura and he's one of the guys when you met him in real life there was kind of a sort of norm had like this sort of aura around
Starting point is 00:57:38 it was really magical so damn was he Canadian he was Canadian from Montreal yeah oh Montreal yeah just loved him yeah Sean Keene put him on the wall what's with the funny guys dying yeah no it's never uh i don't want to say anybody but because it's mean but

Lynn? Lynn, yeah. She got around, huh? Well, this was way back in the early,
Starting point is 00:59:02 like in the 90s or maybe even the 80s, yeah. I think she was banging John Doer for a while as well. Yeah, I was even before that. What are you doing? I'm just saying this lady's got a... I know, I don't think you should be saying. I don't know who, but I remember it was, I think there was a little bit of me and Mitch liked each other.
Starting point is 00:59:19 We worked together, but I think there's a little tension. Not that I caused, but I think. Girlfriend tension. Yeah, so I just sort of gave him his space and I didn't push it. But I loved him. He was great. Actually, I was mad at him, to be honest, because I didn't. He didn't share the heroin?
Starting point is 00:59:38 No, I didn't like that he abused himself. It made me mad. And it, like some people tried to. make it seem like it was charming and oh that's mitt she's on heroin but i i was i was actually like inside i was very mad that he yeah he did that to himself he obviously probably couldn't help it but it to me there was no charm it was just like just stop but guys like no can't i guess you know if you care about someone it's awful yeah yeah so it was tough to watch him oh i feel with you in the mountain doom man yeah that's your he's got a yahoo it up right to the gray
Starting point is 01:00:15 He's going to be on my gravestone, Yahoo. He couldn't help himself. You're going to be shooting that in between your toes, so. Hell yeah. Pour some ready whip on his grave. Yeah. Spray it, doctor. This is unbelievable, by the way.

Starting point is 01:00:49 Thank you. I feel like back. All right. We're back. How about that Sidney, huh? Nice cans on that. Like her?
Starting point is 01:00:59 Sure. What a question is that? Homosexual man? Yes. Yes. I'm a fan. Okay. You know what I don't like about her
Starting point is 01:01:05 is that she does the dumb, hot girl voice. These are just my jeans I wear. That's not her voice at all. Pull it up. You sound like, fucking, you sound like, I sound like Cartman. You sound like, yeah, you sound like Cartman as like a slow person. Yeah, I'm telling you, I just don't know what else to do.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Because, uh, that's not a shit. If that were a voice. This is like how you wean someone off sitting in Swaney, by the way. It's just Mark, all right. I think she's cool. I like her. She's very attractive. Let's see.
Starting point is 01:01:38 Good for her for killing. I just hate the hot girl voice. I think they're the most comfortable chance I've ever won. Because of a giz. Wow. Holy shit. They make your butt look amazing. Amazing.
Starting point is 01:01:48 I prefer her voice to you. I'm going to do that. But if you said that you want to buy the jeans, I'm not going to stock you. But as we're clear, this is not me telling you. Vocal fan. Yeah, I hate that shit. It's put on. It's like when you meet a gay guy who's like, hello!
Starting point is 01:02:08 What are you doing? But I like that. I mean, it's fun, but let's not pretend like it came out of the loop like that. It's a fun time You're like an hour and a half The flaming game is more fun than the hot chick vocal fry Yes, it's fun At least it's fun and upbeat
Starting point is 01:02:24 This is like I just had a little fentanyl Maybe if you're attracted to men Holy shit I don't know dude you You win this voice in the shorts I'm getting kind of turned out You should do an American Eagle commercial

Starting point is 01:03:13 I didn't think that's hot? No, I don't like it, but hot girls do that. I agree. Oh, the hottest voice was the movie Body Heat, the star of... Kathleen Turner. Kathleen Turner had the sexiest voice. That's a good pull right now. You ever see Body Heat?
Starting point is 01:03:29 It's a great movie, too. Sexy, a little Florida... The opening scene where they're watching the music and she just walks up, smoking a cigarette. That's a good movie record if you haven't seen it. Go watch Body Heat. That's a fucking William Hurt. Body Heat, yeah. It hurts always.
Starting point is 01:03:43 It's got vibes that, like, Postman always rings twice type of... Yeah, she just talk about. Hot chick that wants you to kill her husband. Yeah, just powerful sexy. And you're like, that pussy's so good I might. That's the vibe. 81, huh? Yeah, I just...
Starting point is 01:03:58 Really sexy voice. How happy I am? How happy is that? You're not too smart, are you? Oh, yeah. What else do you like? Lazy, ugly, and horny, I got a mom. Lazy?
Starting point is 01:04:13 Tell me, does chat like this work with most women? Some, if they haven't been around much. I wondered. Thought maybe I was out of touch. I'm going to buy you a drink. I told you, I've got a husband. I'll buy him one too. Killer dialogue.
Starting point is 01:04:32 It's like double indemnity or something. Yeah. Oh, this is smooth. I'm hooked. Can we play that, or is that going to kill us? Okay. Yeah, she's got a normal lady voice. I'm very, very into it.
Starting point is 01:04:43 It's got a little bit of, like, old-timey, sophisticated. It's got that North Atlantic twang. Kind of worldly a little bit. It goes with their look. It matches look, you know. Weirdly, no tits. No tits. Compared to the sweeney of it all.
Starting point is 01:04:59 Yeah, yeah. But still sexy. Why is that such a hot plot, Murdered My Husband? It's just like, murder my husband and fuck me is like the... That is pretty hot. That's like classic noir right there. Yeah. Because it's how bad you want it.
Starting point is 01:05:12 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She was also a serial mom. Remember that? So good. Oh, I hated that movie. Oh.
Starting point is 01:05:19 But think about how much you regret fucking most people, and then you're like, I killed their husband, too? Oh, that's true. Bad move. Yeah, it's a double whammy. Could you do it? Could you kill a husband? I think I could.
Starting point is 01:05:31 I don't think I'd get away with it, but I think I'd kill someone. You could? Probably. Oh, geez. Not actually, in theory. I don't think I could go through with it. Not a husband here. And the other one, the Voodoo Queen.
Starting point is 01:05:41 She was Jessica Rabbit. Remember she had the voice. She what? That's how you pulled that. You know he's got a hot voice, too, actually? Scarlett Johansson. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:50 A little deep. Did the voice in the movie, her, though. Think about voiceover. Who can pull a good voiceover? Good point. Pull her up. Wow. Who's your and Roger Rabbit?
Starting point is 01:05:59 I didn't know that. I know. And I love Jessica Rabbit. Good for her. I'm not bad. I was just drawn that way. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Right?
Starting point is 01:06:09 That was a sexy lady. That's an underrated movie, too. Dude. Bob Hoskins. Zemechis. Yeah. I saw the theater That scene with Betty Boop
Starting point is 01:06:16 where she's like I still got it though And he's like Yeah Betty You do Yeah Shaving a haircut You ever hear that Bob Hoskin story
Starting point is 01:06:24 Where De Palma asked him To do the untouchables But he's like I want De Niro But like I'll But in case he can't do it I want you And he was like
Starting point is 01:06:32 All right Whatever like And then the movie The movie comes out He sees De Niro's in it He's like all right He gets a check for $200,000 in the mail
Starting point is 01:06:41 From De Palma Like sorry didn't work out but here's for wasting your time and he was like do you have any other movies you don't want me to do that's the talk show video but that's funny wow you know similar story louie had a bit about wouldn't it be nice if you were just an asshole that'd be cool to be an asshole and he'd tell it in boston back in the day you know before he was famous and tennis leery was like the big hot comic and he heard it he made it into i'm an asshole yo whatever Louis
Starting point is 01:07:15 brought it up on a podcast or something Opie and Anthony one day randomly He came up He's like yeah what are you gonna do People steal your bitch You gotta write new ones That's how it goes I guess Leary heard that
Starting point is 01:07:24 Send him 20 grand Really? Yeah He's made way more off that song I know I know He got a he still got a deal But Wow
Starting point is 01:07:32 Crazy I guess nice to send the check But maybe don't steal people's jokes I got a check for a movie That I wasn't even in Oh Yeah a couple of them actually I got a check from an animated movie called The Wild.
Starting point is 01:07:48 Okay. I was supposed to do the voice of a snake, and they ended up giving it to George Carlin. Wow. And I still get a lot of royalties from it for some reason. I mean, you don't want to ruin it. Yeah. Don't say this out loud, har. And then I get one from, it's the only movie ever got fired on.
Starting point is 01:08:08 I did Elmo and Grouchland. I was supposed to be the villain. and I got fired and they still send me royalties The guy Henson The guy, Jim Henson Jim Henson's kid who took over
Starting point is 01:08:24 I had the part And I came to New York There's a bunch of songs So I had to go in a studio And sing a bunch of the songs And then we sang all day And then Henson's son I think his name's Brian or something
Starting point is 01:08:41 He goes, come to the studio, I want you to improv with the puppets. And I go, well, I already have the part, but okay, so we go and I had to improv with Elmo and a few of the other Muppets. And it was okay, but I don't know if it was bad or good, but it wasn't, I can improv pretty good. Yeah. And they called me that night and said, yeah, you're done. And they fired me. Whoa. But I still get royalties. So it's like, okay, I guess that's part of the SAG thing if you have someone on something but then you change it
Starting point is 01:09:14 I guess maybe you still get paid or something on the crew list here Oh wow put on the resume Fuck it's the only movie I got fired from Who's the villain who's the main guy in there He's the by the way that guy was diddling kids I think Elmo Afterwards I found he didn't get fired He must have really sucked
Starting point is 01:09:36 He diddled kids Allegedly. Allegedly. Yeah. Yeah, but the allegedly doesn't help much. Oh. Was that Mandy Patankan? I'm not sure it was.
Starting point is 01:09:46 That might have been him. If you lost out to Mandy Patinkin, that's fine. You've lost roles for some pretty legit. Yeah, that's true. You lost to Carlin and Mandy. Come on. I think so, yeah. Whoever the villain wasn't, there's only one villain.
Starting point is 01:09:58 Yeah. But I think, the villain's the petto. Yeah, look up, Elmo. What the fuck is Elmo? How did he get away with that shit? Who else was a petto? I think he was just. texting teens. I don't think you actually did it.
Starting point is 01:10:09 That's pretty fucking weird. It is. I mean, obviously it's not as bad as other stuff, but... What, Elmo? The puppeteer was a petto? No, no, texting is not as bad as touching, but it's still bad. Especially if you're, like, working in a kid's form. That's where the term came from Geppetto.
Starting point is 01:10:27 That's great. Lie to me. Tiggle me, Elmo. That's good stuff. Jepetto, you got to tweet that. No, thanks. I'm busy. Kevin Spacey.
Starting point is 01:10:45 So yeah, you're going to put your movie like on your own site or with some site and 10 bucks. Wingman. Check it out, folks. Yeah, thank you. We don't have the site built out yet.
Starting point is 01:10:55 But when we do, you know, in today's world, and I hope this applies to you guys too, like everything's getting, everything's changing so quickly. Oh, yeah. Colbert's gone.
Starting point is 01:11:06 I feel like with the, With the audience we sort of capture in the podcast world, if you had just, you know, 10,000 fans download your movie for 10 bucks a pop, that's like 250 grand or whatever right there, 200 grand. So it's like, it's like I think fans of ours who do this podcast world are excited to see us do our own projects. Yes. I get the feeling that they would support those movies. 100% because they don't they don't get them in the theaters because they're giving them to other people. So I think I'm hoping that wingman can sort of be a platform that works and fans come out and order it. And then it sort of paves the way for all of us to start doing more of our own movies, which I think people want.
Starting point is 01:11:57 I think they want it to do it. Bill and did the old dads that blew up. People loved it. I mean, I talked about this a lot too. It was like we did this with stand-up specials for a while. The next thing is, I guess we have to do it with TV and movies. Good point. Good point.
Starting point is 01:12:09 It's so damn hard to sell stuff. It's like Shane with tires. Tires. You know, like I think people want to see like funny comedians meant girls, guys. They want to see us do our, because they know we're creative and we have a lot of funny projects. Yes. And it's so hard to get them through the studios and the network. So to do them on our own now, I think we have way more avenues to present it to people.
Starting point is 01:12:33 So that's what I want to do. with wingman is really get it out there it's crazy i make i made i'm not done with the movie yet but i shot a bulk of my movie on tour and this movie idea had for like a mockumentary of a tour yeah and it is insane how smooth shit goes when there aren't 80 people being like what if we do this let's set a meeting it's like no oh no we're just going to shoot this yeah i called up but should we get no no he's doing it i got this guy to do this part yeah you know obviously people help like managers, agents to help.
Starting point is 01:13:04 They got to cast people for me and stuff. But like, you know, that's the key to just want people that help. Just people who are good. Yes.
Starting point is 01:13:12 In the way and muddy it up. Make decisions. Yeah. I literally have a meeting. I have a general meeting with Jason Bateman's production company,
Starting point is 01:13:19 whatever that means. Oh, good. He couldn't do it two days ago. So I go, all right. And he go, here's some potential dates. One of them is in November. I'm like, I can make a movie by November. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:13:28 What are we doing here? That's what I mean. That's what we're up against. And then, and then you get the meeting. and then how many months or years till they get back to you and you're at their mercy and that's why I think if guys like us and girls like us can make more of our own stuff and fans can directly decide to support it we can make more like I'm hoping people come out and you know
Starting point is 01:13:52 support wingman because I'm already writing the sequel and if they like wingman I want to be ready to put the sequel in action yeah another one and And a studio would never do it because wingman's edgy and it's non-woke and it's and so, you know, I think we're all feeling the same. We don't want to wait for people to tell us yes or no. God no. People want comedy. The jokes are funny.
Starting point is 01:14:17 Like, who gives a shit? I think it's funny. I'm almost like sick of hearing woke. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear woke, non-woke. It's funny or not funny to me. Yeah. It's like, that's all that really matters.
Starting point is 01:14:29 Yeah, yeah. Exactly. So, yeah, I think. we just kind of have to make stuff but it's good it is honestly kind of cool like making this movie on the road i was like oh i just learned how to make a movie like this is education that you just like people go to school for this shit i just i just was like oh i'll just make it and i was like yeah we made mistakes i i fell on my face with some shit we had to reshoot some stuff yeah i'm still learning some stuff but like i was like oh i know how to make a movie now and you can't fucking
Starting point is 01:14:56 you know you can't learn it any other way but to just do it yeah jump in yeah it's like stand-up you You really just have to do, like, how do I do it? Get a mic. Go on stage. Find three fucking people. Talk and see if it works. I mean, it's going to be bad at first and it's going to get better or it's not. And if we keep making enough stuff that gets traction, these studios will have to go, hey, we'd like to work with you.
Starting point is 01:15:18 We'd like to buy someone. You kind of want to go, fuck off. Or they won't even be around. Or they won't be around. I don't even know if they're going to, some of them will survive. I'm sure they'll figure it out because there's some really smart ones. but then there's some that you're just like well you're everything you make is shit
Starting point is 01:15:32 some have kind of built a brand of like we're cool and artsy and that's cool you know but then there's some that are definitely not going to be here in a few years no and now we live in this world we're like happy go more too I never saw it whatever that's the only way to get views now like this nostalgia
Starting point is 01:15:49 oh big oh Adam Saylor's in it oh this guy's in it I'll watch that but what about an original idea you know no one wants to take a chance on that because no one has any fucking vision because they just want to make money. Well, you just told me you saw weapons and you loved it, though. What the hell's weapons?
Starting point is 01:16:03 I loved. It's sort of like a new horror movie. Okay. All right. It's got buzz. It's got a lot of buzz right now. Well, horror's cheap. But I mean like you two guys with your followings, your followings together and your
Starting point is 01:16:13 separate followings, I would have to believe that if you made your liquor movie and you built your own side and said, hey, $10 to own it and $7 to rent it or whatever, I would have to imagine it you know you guys probably get three to four hundred thousand views an episode i i would bet at least 10 000 of your fans rented and that would help pay for it you know you can make more you know so that's the plan it's a people want comedy it's a cool new world out here right now yeah yeah i hope it empowers us to do more of our own stuff yeah it's just good i mean because i feel like the conversations i think for a while where a lot of people feeling like really down and i feel like there's like an energy now when I talk to people and they're like no we can like there's more
Starting point is 01:16:58 positivity yeah you know like oh no we can do this because I think that the the studios and the networks you know it was such a powerful wall yeah that we all know what we want to do in the entertainment industry but to get up over that wall is so daunting and yeah the odds are so low yeah but now I feel like the walls are starting to collapse and come down where now guys like us are in a world where we can hopefully get stuff directly to consumers and not have to be at the mercy of these big entities, you know? 100%. Let's flip it. Let's have them call us. Yeah. What are you working on? I think that's happening.
Starting point is 01:17:38 I think so, too. Yeah. Every show is crumbling. Like, the traditional stuff is all seems to be dying. Yeah. We're in the middle of a crazy shift. Starring is gone. Colbert's going away. Seth Myers publicly said, I have five years left. I definitely won't make it. Wow. And you're like, holy shit, yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:55 Well, yeah, no one's watching them anymore, you know? It's like, no, I'm not. Yeah. And I remember there was a time, you know, probably even 10, 11 years ago where every comic you met was like, I'm working on my time show set, you know, or my Conan set. And now you go to a comedy club and nobody's, you never hear it. None of the comics are worried about getting on late night.
Starting point is 01:18:19 They're more excited to get on a podcast. We've said it a million times, So, like, I don't think I could put together a Fallon set right now. I could put together a set for Saudi Arabia, but not for Fallon. That's hilarious. But, I mean, you know, we've talked about it. You go on Fallon, but it's not like, I get that he's nice, but then they're like, well, you got to be nice too. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:39 But that's not how much stand-up thing. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I'm different to do. And it's not even offensive. It's just I'm not, like, a nice guy in my, I'm not, like, all bubbly in my stand-up. So. And you change a word. The whole joke is different.
Starting point is 01:18:51 It's shot. They're like, we want to sit from you. I sent him a set. He's like, this won't work, this won't work. Change that. I'm like, that's a different comedy show. Yeah. It's also, to me, to do a set these days is like, it's kind of stressful. It's like, it's more, more can go wrong than well almost. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember the last time I did Letterman, they, they beeped me like four or five times.
Starting point is 01:19:14 What? Yeah. I'd never been beeped. I flew to New York from L.A. They took me around, you know, the two nights before, and they watched. your set and i did the the exact set like probably seven or eight times in front of the producers who were with me yeah and i even asked them there's a few edjured i said are you sure you're okay with this one they said yeah yeah so i did the set that night it killed and i watched it and they beat like three or four times pull it up and then they gave me shit for it the letterman people i gave and i said wait a minute your guys approved you approved it i said well dave wasn't happening And I go, but it's not on me, you guys.
Starting point is 01:19:54 So they made it look like I just went off and I didn't, but it was funny because what they beeped was a reference to Disneyland, to Pillsbury, and towards, like brand names, you know, or big corporate people. Yeah, yeah. Now, is this on the couch or stand-up? This was stand-up. Oh, shit. I don't know if it's there, but I never did Letterman again after that. Oh, man. Luckily, it was towards the end of his run, but I was sort of like, well, I don't want to do it.
Starting point is 01:20:26 Like, after you treated me like that, like, you told me to do it, and then you turn around and tried to blight, like, they kind of phoned me and go, yeah, we weren't really happy with what are you talking about? That's a real bummer, man. It was really weird. Well, those shows, like, that's what I mean, those shows, they're such a tightrope, and you're like, stand-up's kind of messy, dude. Yeah. This isn't how it's supposed to be. You know, part of what I love is, like, you go to a play and something goes wrong in the play, they can't break character. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:55 We can kind of, something go wrong on TV. We have to address it. You have to. And that's kind of the beauty of stand-up is that, you know, these shows are fucking messy. Yeah. So when they make you walk this tightrope and it's clean, they sense something's false. They sense that bit is, I don't you feel when you do those sets that they sense you're being watered down? Sure, sure.
Starting point is 01:21:13 And the audience at the club can sense it. You know when you run your tonight show set at a club? It's so weird. You can feel that it's fake and robotic and everything. I don't like it like they'd like it if you wear a suit. Maybe not every comic wears a fucking suit. I'll wear a suit because I don't mind wearing a suit, but I think some comics that takes away from what they do.
Starting point is 01:21:33 Sure, sure. And they look weird in a suits. I just think these weird rules. Why don't you let the fucking individual be the individual? Well, that's the reason it's crumbling. It's the reason Chris Rock doesn't do any of them. He's like, why would I do that? Does he never go on even on couch,
Starting point is 01:21:46 No, he does that, but not really anymore, but he never did stand up, I don't think. Maybe once, 35 years ago. Well, Chris's bits are so just like, this is the bit. Why would he change it? Exactly. But nobody does it anymore. Like, I don't know one comic that's striving to get on a late night talk show. If you're a young comic, you are still.
Starting point is 01:22:04 I think if you're young and, yeah, it's a cool, I think it's a cool thing for your parents to see if you're a young comic. Yeah, I haven't heard of it. They moved to New York. He did Falun. It's a, it's a nice. I always felt those are like nice things for my folks or something. thing yeah but yeah but I don't know yeah I don't you I don't think they're what they
Starting point is 01:22:21 definitely weren't they what they were yeah no God no I think you get more on a TikTok yeah you wise I think you're right to the Fallons of the world but there was a period where clubs were like now he's been on Fallon it's like I'm still selling 40 tickets this yeah but you know there was a period there's a period where that like did help a little sure sure it looks good on a poster but then it gets weird when they're like he was on Netflix, Conan, you're like, well, Conan's over. Maybe we stopped saying that in the intro. The show is not existing.
Starting point is 01:22:53 That was the most fun one to do, though. And how about Conan? This is the ultimate metaphor or symbolism. The guy got fired, started a podcast, which at the time was like, ugh, got really demoted to a podcast. Holy shit. These guys are all on 30 rock and all this shit. Now he's going to be the one to be swimming away from the Titanic sinking.
Starting point is 01:23:14 They're all going to say. It's a lifeboat. Lifeboat, that's the term. You don't want to be swimming away from the Titanic sinking. Good point. Wait, who's swimming away? Conan, because he had a podcast early. And he looked like kind of, not I want to say loser,
Starting point is 01:23:28 but he looked like he lost that round. And then now the whole thing's going to topple, and he's going to be glad I had a podcast. Oh, because the other guys are going to be gone. Probably. And maybe they'll do something else, but maybe they'll do a podcast. Maybe, but, you know, just because you do a podcast, it doesn't mean it's going to be a hit.
Starting point is 01:23:43 Obama had a podcast. it got canceled. Bruce Springsteen had a podcast. He got canceled. The Kardashians had a podcast. It got canceled. Yeah, but they'll be all right. I'm not saying, that's not the point.
Starting point is 01:23:53 It's not for everybody. They couldn't do a podcast. Yeah, but not everyone should be doing it. It doesn't mean it's going to work. But not everyone should be doing a podcast. I agree. That's not the argument. The argument is they could start a podcast, but it could fail.
Starting point is 01:24:05 Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Because, you know, Obama. Come on. The biggest. Obama, a known podcast, legend. It is his wife? Isn't it his wife
Starting point is 01:24:16 She has one as well Herz is still going His got canceled Oh wow Yeah I mean Obama is a great public speaker But he had speech writers That doesn't mean you're gonna be a great
Starting point is 01:24:26 Every president has writers My point is not everybody can do it But I think everybody's like Oh I have nothing going on I'll be a podcaster But it doesn't mean it's gonna work Also I think Obama's like a good podcast guest I don't think he's like a great host
Starting point is 01:24:39 Yes I think that guys could talk like You know I'd hear him on podcast And be like oh shit This guy watches like basketball on the wire That's, like, cool for a president. Sure. Spoked a cigarette.
Starting point is 01:24:47 But then I don't think he's a guy that, I don't think Obama, like, can you imagine us, him having us on his show? And he's like, tell us, you know, he's more of a guy you want to hear from than like a host. Agreed. You know? Agreed. Yeah, he's a guest for sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:00 Am I a guest? You can do both. You or you're one of the rare talents. Thanks, bud. Yeah, you're a rare breed. I think you're our guests we had back. the most recently, like the least time in between guests. Outside of Ari.
Starting point is 01:25:18 Outside of Ari. Thank you. But Ari just wanders it. Yeah, he's a wandering. We don't even know Ari's going to show up. That's not on us. That's true. Yeah.
