We got your 78 bananas over there. Oh, thanks. I'll have one if you have one. Yeah. All right. All right. If we eat bananas on camera, it will become a weird sex thing. The views will go up.

Let's start the insanity. Yeah, boy. Is that we're opening with the, let's just open with this? Yeah. So why a banana? Is a banana big part of your ritual? What do you mean? It's healthy.

It's organic. It doesn't, there's no plastic. Is this organic? Dude, it's more organic than You got this Dwayne Reed fucking bananas? I should throw this on the court of an NBA game. That'll be NBA. It's more organic than, you know,

most of anything you guys eat. What do you mean? What do you mean? Is it organic? You're literally holding a banana in your hand in your life. Is this organic? It's in Dwayne Reed. Dwayne Reed, yeah, this is whack. I hear they make great produce, too.

Make sure to get a kale salad from Walgreens after this. Sponsorous. It doesn't stick in your teeth. No, it's nice. It's sweet. I eat one every morning. No, it's the best. Every morning?

Yeah. This is, my green room is just bananas. Really? Oh. Damn. How much lube? Yeah. I'm a ton of lube.

All right. All right. Well, yeah. Does Hassan have an annoying rider? His rider is huge. He has plantain. What's he doing? His rider, because it's the first time we're touring together.

So I saw his rider, it's like, it's like 50 items. It's not even food. Like, I need a pillow. I need this. I need... What kind of pillow? Dude, I didn't read... It was like 50 items.

I didn't even look in... It's like, I need a kettle. I need a... What? And I was like, you know, my green room writer is bananas and no plastic. Oh, that's good. Yeah. That's good.

What do you mean no plastic? I don't have plastic bottles and plastic. There's no plastic bottles. Microplastic. You guys don't care... Americans don't care about plastic. No, we're... Just throw that shit into the river.

You don't think about it. We're made of plastic. I mean, we are at this point. Everybody's got a fucking plastic surgery. Like building up an immunity or something, right? That's true. But you truly, you drink plastic bottles with no remorse. All day long.

Both of you will like, there will be a clean river right here. Bottles here, you'll just bother. You don't care. You'll take the ball, you'll throw in the river. No remorse. I don't throw in the river. But I'll put it in my body. I'm just saying that the plastic, the lack of remorse about plastic in America is crazy.

You're definitely right. You're on to something. But it's ingrained. It's everywhere. Someone hands you a bottle of water, you drink it. Yeah, just don't. How about don't drink it? You don't drink?

So when you get a bottle of water, it's... I give it back. How about a glass bottle? Can you do that? Glass bottle, I'll do it. On airplanes, I give the bottle back. I don't want... What if you're thirsty?

I bring my own bottle. Oh. You bring my own bottle? Yeah. I bring a canteen. Boy, the banana and the fanny pack. Oh, my God. Look at that. That is...

Wow. That's a Boy Scout. Yeah. Holy shit. I guess I'm a Boy Scout. I'm not the one who cares about plastic. I'm the goddamn boy scout because I'm trying not to pollute your kid.

You have a baby. And you still don't care about microplastics. He has excuse. He hasn't reproduced. I'm going to die alone. He doesn't care about next generation. You have a baby. Yeah.

And you don't care about plastic. I guess I guess not. I burn it in the fireplace. I just throw it right in there. All the old bottles. I give it back. I go on planes, you guys go on planes and they give you the stuff. Do you give it back or you just use it one time?

I use it. I take everything they give me. You take the, what do you take? Wait, like the eye mat. This guy got 38 of those. Oh, yeah. I got the toothbrush, the toothpaste. Take it home.

Take it on the ear plugs. I got them all. Classy move if you have someone sleeping with you. Hey. Give him a little delta pack. That's great. Like Jeter. Oh, man.

You giving them a gift pack? That's not bad. Yeah, but you, okay, I give you credit because you are actually very frugal. Uh-huh. You're not cheap, you're very frugal. That's a nice way to put it. Thank you. You have an appreciation for...

That's our African-American. Yeah. Yeah, you have an appreciation for how tough life is. Sure. And so when someone gives you a toothbrush, you're like, I'll keep this because I could use it in six months. You never know. You never know. You're going to be okay.

It's like when Leno's like, I don't touch the Tonight Show. Jay, you're 75 years old. Touch it. Touch it. Touch it. Just touch it. He was. He was fun.

He was a Boy Scout. All right. Yeah. I was. Yeah. Boy Scout, also your parents were lawyers. Right. So you kind of, you had, you want, like, destitute growing up.

No, no. Yet you ingrained in you is this spirit of frugality of like a trinatus. They had no food in the house, and they were frugal. So we didn't get stuff. We didn't buy things because they were paranoid. You're not wasteful. No, no waste. No waste.

It's not wasteful, but then also you could have food in the house. I agree. Yes, food in the house. Please. But you are not a wasteful American, which I think is... No. People don't know about you. Thank you.

I appreciate that. I don't think I'm wasteful either, but I think one... Sam, yeah. Extremely wasteful. Typical American. He will eat. You won't finish your throat away. You'll throw it away.

Yeah. Oh, you got a full bite up. God damn. You can't. You just throw it off. Yeah. There we go. Mark will not waste.

If he will take it home. Yes. I'll take your food home. So I will. I saw Mark grab a hot dog from a homeless guy the other day. It's right in front of him. That way, the way he respects resources, he's very much an immigrant mentality. Sure.

He's got a poverty, immigrant mentality. Yeah, it was beating into me. My dad grew up on a farm. My mom's a weirdo. They're like hippie, crunchy people. So, yeah. So, yes, not wasteful American. My parents, they hated going to the movies because it was too expensive.

So if we did, she would load up with fruit snacks from home. Did your mom do that? Yeah, everyone, that was, New York, the prices were insane, so you always bring stuff in. Okay, okay. Yeah. That was embarrassing. And she gave me a jar of chocolate milk for lunch, and I had to bring the jar back. So I had to walk around all day with a jar, just an empty jar, glass.

And this, ironically, that's, that's, you're going to save the world. No, for real. You did that out of weird frugality, but this is the attitude we need now, is more taking and reusing. Hey, yeah, she was ahead of her time. No lunchbox either. grocery bag That was my lunchbox What candies were you sneaking

Into the theater What do we talk? We had the shitty fruit snacks The off-brand version And a kudos bar if you were lucky You guys remember kudos? Pull that up I'm horrible

It was like It was like It was like chemicals It sounds like chemical It was all chemical I'm sure it was there You're a healthy man I am now

But it took me a while to learn It took me until I was about 30 Oh I remember these I like those They were pretty good Yeah this looks like chemicals It's horror It was like a kind bar

for the 80s. Plastic. It was all plastic. It was all plastic back then. By the way, I can already see the comments. This show's falling off. They used to drink whiskey. Now they're eating bananas.

It's all over. I'm really hung over in my defense. Oh, all right. I got really fucked up. I didn't know we were supposed to drink on this. You don't have. Someone warned me that the show. You don't have to.

We're missing out on some big guests because they're like, I'm in recovery. I'm not going to force you to drink. Hey, Hank is Harry. If you show up, we're not going to like force one down your throat. Yeah, right. Yeah, it's a comedy show Yeah, and you guys are Well respected internationally now

As great colonies Australians love you Thanks, yeah Australians think you guys are Hall of Fame First Ballet Just got back, I had a blast I love Australian Why? Why? We're going, we're going

Oh, you hate Australian I don't hate Australia You got a beef Kind of started there, right? I 100% started So I got a chip on my shoulder With industry there But the comics that I loved

Because they wouldn't give you any opportunities, what happened? No, it was, it's so hard to explain. It sounds like it didn't give opportunities. They would make it look like they gave you a shot, but then really they were pulling the strings in a way that made you look bad. So in the end, you take the hit.

Right. But the people who made you look like shit just keep getting, failing upwards, basically. So that's why I really hated about it. It was very, yeah, it was very insidious. Not a good, like, brotherhood of comics. No, comics were great. Yeah, I'm talking about the TV industry, TV and movie industry, Australia.

The comics in Australia saw the earth. Cool. Yeah, great guys. Good eggs. You know them. Sure, yeah. But yeah, you guys are well respected globally. Do you guys know that?

No. No? I mean, we'll do the big, we'll do London, we'll do Australia, but. You guys are the kings of New York. Wow. Hey, I'll take it. Even him, he's dressed like an out-of-work PI. Yeah, you always looks like an out-work PI.

Where's my house book? But this is the mythology of you guys. This is the method. You dressing like this and you, you know. Being frugal. Being like this. Yeah, yeah. I'm playing along that this shirt sucks,

but I put it on the mirror. I was like, perfect. I nailed it. I do the same thing. Like, yeah, it's great. It's great. You dress frugally and then you dress. This is all free.

This is a cheap shirt. This is not an expensive shirt. All right. It got it at Tom Thumb. Yeah. They're in Pensacola. It's like their seven. 11 in Florida. But you guys must be rich now, right? Because of this? No, we're getting there.

We're deep in the hole right now. We're taking a chance. It's not going well. It's cool, though. It's culturally a cool play. You're one of the first people to try it, I think. I think I know you have like, you're like a cocktail guy. Ronnie, I feel like is a man of taste. Yes. No, I think you're one of the best. I'm here. I'm on this thing. No, I'm not a cocktail. I actually was more of a scotch guy. I stopped drinking, but will you have drinking? I didn't quit, but I just have no urge to drink. Wow, I'm jealous. You know what the name of this podcast is. I know. That's why I came on. Like, I don't know what's going to.

But it's cool. You guys have this thing now that's no, it's good. But you have a finer palette. You got the great suits. You know, all the good restaurants. I think you pull up some pictures. I think he's maybe the best dressed comment. No, I don't know. Oh, yeah. It's always perfectly tailored. Yeah, not now. Yeah, I...

The suit, the hair. For me, it was like, it was easier to dress like this. Look at these awful photos. No, these look hot. It was easier to do this than it was to be fashionable. Oh, interesting. You know I mean? Yeah.

Fashionable, I end up looking like Sam. But if you wear a suit, you just kind of, it's like a cheat coat to, you know. That's a good point. It's good taste in suits. But also, what in show business. We're in show business. Yeah. Right?

We should find putting some effort on stage. I fight with that. I completely agree. You see the Malaney in the suit. You see the Seinfeld suit. I know you fight with it clearly. Yeah, but then you go, but I'm not that guy. But do I have to pretend to be that guy?

But I don't want to look like a schlub, but I am a slub. Yes. So, you know what are we doing here? I know what you mean. It depends on the act. Right. Also, like, we are supposed to be countercultural comedy. So why are you dressing like the man?

Yeah. Right. Yeah. But I think there is something. Why dress like a woman on stuff? Like, like, a tube top. The tube top special. You mean right now.

You do. The Daisy Duke special one, that was my favorite. But I think there's something to write, as Mr. Seinfeld always said, dress better than your audience. Yep. And he always says there's something funny about a guy, a funny guy in a suit. Yes. A funny guy in a suit.

The juxtaposition. Yeah, that's the word. Thank you. Yes, that you are, you're being irreverent and funny, but you're dressed formally. Yeah. I don't know. I think that's a way to do it. Maybe you, you in a tie and suit, I agree.

Maybe not, but you in a. I've done it. I thought it looked good. Yeah, it's fun for the moment, but I just couldn't sustain it. I think it's sharp as fuck, dude. Thanks, thanks. By the way, that suit that one on the top left, that is pinned together with about 700 pins because it was nine sizes too big, and so the lady went to town on it. But why didn't you go on the Tonight Show with a suit that fits?

I've done the same thing. I could afford it, I didn't have it. I don't know. I went on a Colbert set, and it was like, I didn't know you could tailor suit. I don't think. You've got to pull up Samarrel Colbert. It's a bad look. The haircut was like $10 too.

Yeah, same, same. I always get the haircut there because it's free. I mean, look at that suit. I may as well be wearing a tarp. That's okay. It wasn't that bad, but I get it. That's okay.

That's a sweet. There was a time in the 2010s, like late 2009s when comics would go on to these late shows and wear shirts which were too big. No, no jacket. Just a shirt that was way too big, you know So that, to me, that was bad

This is okay This is okay, what do you mean? That's not terrible No, it's a good angle It did not fit well Okay, I don't remember I look like I'm a fucking senator from Kentucky What the hell am I doing there?

You know what, you two? You guys could do the suit, no tie On stage. Yes, that's a good look. That's what I did for my last special Yeah, that would look good. You could do like, not suit, but like sports coat.

So Blazer and, off color so not matching Oh interesting Yeah you could do that I mean you could do jeans and blazer But it looks like your A little boomery

Yeah it's a little boomery So you should do Oh yeah this is great see Yeah that's a good suit somebody bought me I know you're saying comedy I'm yelling at Jim Gaffigan right here Because this is one of these benefits And I texted Jim

It was Seinfeld John Stewart Bruce Springsteen Yeah I think wounded warriors or one of those military things. Heroes, something of heroes. Stand it for heroes. Way to give them a shout-up, Mark. Thank you.

They're doing the Lord's work. And I texted Gaffkin. We go in suit. We go in no suit. What's the move here? And he goes, wear a suit. Jesus Christ, wear a suit. Don't wear a tie if you don't want to.

And I said, all right, so I did that. And he showed up in sweats. Oh. I know. He looked like a Korean dictator. Yeah, he was just, there he is. That's him. That's not sweats.

Well, he had, like, kind of crazy slack. There he is. That's the, that's the, that's the, Pull that one up. See, he's got a sweater on, he's got to zip up. Yeah, you look good, though. Who cares? Yeah, he looks like he puts some effort in, you know.

John Stewart's in fucking Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Yeah, holy shit. He always wears that jacket. He wears whatever he wants. Yeah, he's good manna with the people. I think that's something to wearing. You guys could pull it off, you know? Right?

It looks, would you wear on tour? No. No? I can't. I just, I feel like a fraud walking out there going, hey, everybody. And they're going to go, the record's going to scratch. And everybody's going to boom. I'm such a piece of a piece of.

shit in the road, I love shit that just won't wrinkle. Like, do I bring these pants? They just don't wrinkle. Or, like, you get a one of those jackets that just won't wrinkle? The best. Man, love that. You guys are killing me. No, no, no. I'll bring some nice stuff sometimes.

Yeah. Well, how about one show? You do one show? What bet do we have to make? Well, he did a special in it, so you're good. Yeah, I thought it looked cool, though. It looked cool. It looked great.

Oh, you had a great one. You had one that was... Not that way. Yeah, that was a good suit. That was a good one, but you had another way. He was the one who told me to get that suit. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

If you guys, if you get a stylist... He also has four bananas on his... All right, keep going. If you had a stylist, you could probably get something that fits your personality. Oh. Right now it's because you lack the talent

to dress yourself. Yes. So you're like, oh, it looks like shit because you will dress yourself like shit. Yeah. But if you get a professional... That's not bad. Even give you an option.

That's not bad. Just take a look at this option. So I bet for you, it'll be no sure. It'll be something like a turtleneck. Oh, turtle. You have a... A smoker's jacket on at your wedding. At my wedding.

It was a wedding. I couldn't do that on stage. How about polo? Okay. Polo with jacket. That's better. That's better. Can you pull up Tenant?

Oh, the movie? The antagonist and Tenant. Yeah. Boy, boy, this is getting deep. Yeah. No, no. Tenant as a T. The Richard Nolan movie.

No, Christopher Nolan. Sorry. Yeah, Tenet, yeah. So, not that. Yeah, that. Something like that. Wow. That's sharp.

That's a polo under a jacket And this is something you do When it's kind of hot outside I like that Yeah, you could do a polo on jacket Okay, you don't think that's too slick for me That guy is selling real estate Yes

But that's because the color of his You know, you could pick it Also, you could take off the jacket And just go polo You know, and this No, you can't do this pen These are, yeah, jean This is like Big Brother shit

I kind of like what he's doing I know, I'm learning a lot Yeah, this is Oh no no no By the way, Barney Greengrass shirt, I fucking love it. Yeah, I know, I wore this for you. Really? Hey.

I love that place. I sent a Knicks. Oh, double whammy. I didn't even notice that. This is a limited edition. You can only get this if you... Jesus, crazy. It's a real New York.

Why's a real yarmacca at this point? I went to Jalen Brunson's charity thing last night. Chris DeStefano was there. Leaves right before the bidding. Real fucking slick. Classy. Everyone's got to donate. Then he's like, oh shit, I got to pick up my daughter.

Sure you do. Bruegel! Piece of shit. Brugle moves. I also noticed. I also noticed I donated the same as a current player, which I'm like, we're not in the same tax bracket. What the fuck are you?

Come on, you've got to give more. What's the charity for? Give it a plug. It's a second round charity. And it's for like kids who are overlaug. Or second round picks? Yeah, basically that's because he was a second round pick, right? So it's like, that's his whole thing.

It's, yeah. Just give to the poor second round picks in the NBA who couldn't make it on. It's bad to be overlooked, unless you're in the church as a child. But either way. I'll tell you You're all right No but I'm not I'm not big brother

You guys were so nice to me When I first came here I'm not trying to be condescended to you Were we? I'm not trying to tell you what to No I'm just pitching I'm just pitching Please pitch away I'm just pitching ideas

That's all So this is all good good help Yeah I'll take it Yeah you guys always were welcoming to me When I first came to New York You're a good funny dude man I'm okay

But it was Yeah I mean it was cool of you guys To be nice Yeah, of course. We watched your act first. Don't get me wrong. I was like, thumbs up. Yeah.

You got passed, got passed by the seller and by... No, we knew you. We knew you a good dude. Oh, yeah. If you were doing my mom sounds like this, I would have been like, all right, we gotta get out of here. Now, that's always the go-to. My mom sounds like this.

My mom has this accent, my mom is that, you know, you guys mom ever do this? A Filipino mom, don't get me started, you know. I think I'm giving away who I'm talking about. I think I'm giving away who I'm talking. Yeah, no, we got it We all got it But yeah, no, you were fucking great dude

Man, and you're like, it's interesting I feel like you're one of the few dudes You can do the social commentary without pandering Mm, yes That's a very difficult skill Oh, is that true? I don't think there's a lot of What do you guys do social commentary without pan-

Very, very little, like maybe three jokes per special. I argue everything you do is social commentary, but what am I missing? You mean politics? You're more political. Yeah, I don't read as much. You know, you know. more about the news than I do. But I mean, you tour

the whole country. I mean, you're going every red state blue state and you're doing a lot more I think, I guess in your act it's not super political but you're doing the daily show. Yeah, I think it's not overtly political. If anything, it's like, if anything it's like, I feel like I get all my politics out on the show. So when I do stand-up, I'm like

let's do something else, you know? Right. But yes, undoubtedly yeah, I guess it leaks into each other. But I don't know, I found in America, everyone who comes to comedy shows gets with it for most part. I agree. Don't you think? Like, people who come to comedy shows are usually like, oh, you know,

even if you disagree politically, you're there for like, okay, as long as the comic gives something that isn't wildly off base. Yes, yes. It's when the comic is wildly off base with their political opinion that you kind of rebel, your brain rebels against it because you're like, oh, that's not true. Yes, and you can feel the audience when a comic flips a 180, they're like, whoa, what is this? They feel a little betrayed, and then they turn on you. Right, right.

But you also feel when you're saying something political and you know that it sounds like you're going to anger certain people in the crowd, but then you feel when that segment actually gets with you. Yeah, that's the best. So whether it's, yeah, it's the best. It's like whether it's you're talking to extremely liberal people and your bits premise is kind of wrong for their crowd,

but you get them because it's just so funny. Or vice versa. That's the best. You say something that you're going after super right-wing people And you can tell there's people in the room We're like, oh, I don't know You know, I believe in my guns But then you manage to flip it around

They're like, all right, that's funny And that makes sense and it's funny And we're not trying to change the world Once you let go of that, I mean, I did a couple of gigs With Shane over the weekend And, you know, his crowd definitely skews more right wing But does it? No, I'm judging.

Oh, yeah, no, seriously, yeah, it does. But then he'll do, he'll tell me We're talking about how we hate when we get claps in a setup It's fucking boring But it's like what's the point with comics You don't want claps So he'll go like oh I'm going anti-Trump in this bit Because they want a pro-Trump

And that's more interesting And my crowd probably skews a little more left And I'm kind of like Here's something funny about Trump to me Because they know your beliefs Like I heard Jimmy Carwin say you leak your beliefs Sure So just fucking be funny

Leak your beliefs Yeah that's why you don't have to tell people where you stand. Everyone's demanding you. Where do you stand on this? What do you stand on that? Listen to a little bit. Yeah. You figure it out. Exactly.

What did Quinn say about DePaolo? What? You can tell how he voted through his McDonald's order. It's so true. Give me fucking all these immigrants here. You know, like he would just go off on something. Yeah. Yeah, it leaks through.

And also, also there's a lot of fun and creativity to be had in going again. what you're leaking. Yeah. Yes. You're leaking a certain way, but then you go against it. That's what's fun about it. Yeah, because then the audience is like, whoa, I don't know where he's going. Right.

Versus just saying what they want to hear. Yeah. Because I think maybe that's what you are feeling with Shane. I don't know. I don't even want to presume that Shane's crowd is right way. I mean, that way... Well, he's got such a big crowd that it's everybody, but I think it skews slightly to the right.

Okay, yeah, I don't know. I don't you think? Yeah, I would say so. Yeah, but I think his crowd is enormous. I think it's like, it's everybody, for sure. sure everybody thinks he's funny yeah yeah no he's killer yeah yeah but i think you're right about the i think unpredictability gets old and you kind of go we got it all right same shit every time they'll stop seeing you so if you can really tap dance and make people not know where you're

going that's the best like a movie you go i don't know where this movie how are they going to get out of this that's that's great but if you go he's the bad guy in the first five minutes like what the i love movies are so fucking formula like when you see one like you ever see the safty brothers movie Good Time. Yeah, with Patinson. Yeah, you just don't know where the fuck it's going. It starts with a bank robbery and you're like, how the fuck's he going to get out of this? I would say the long goodbye is like that.

That movie's so windy and weird. It goes all over the place. Very windy. You know, a big part of that is because Altman, who adapted that book, didn't finish the book. I got it. But I guess it is. And the ending is not the ending in the book. Oh, interesting.

Do you think comedies can do that? Comedy movies. Depends on the type of comedy Not really Let's go back to I don't interrupt you what you're saying No no I don't I think a comedy movie

Kind of has to be formula it Because it's just a vehicle for the jokes really That's what I'm saying Okay Have you seen I just saw Naked Gun Yeah Fuck it's funny dude Yeah

Oh that's fun That's nice to hear Yeah So I guess But that's but that follows the formula Well that's what I'm saying So what do you think about Comedy movies

You know If we go back to our recent golden age which we would say comedy movies would be what 90s the fairly brothers that would be what we would think is the golden age yes yeah like all those like even like jim carey stuff right sure ask ace ventura whatever uh those would you say that those will is it possible to break the mold in those that's a great question and maybe the first guy who does it will it'll blow up well i mean you can consider being john malcovitch a comedy and that's super fucking what's a different genre of comedy.

Sure. Yeah, way outside the box. Yeah. But have you heard of this movie, Weapons? Yeah. Have you seen it? No. Everyone's talking about this movie because everyone says it breaks the mold. I've never seen a movie like it. No horror movie goes this way. And I think comedy and horror kind of similar. So maybe there's a way to break through with comedy. Because, by the way, I mean, I don't want people to misunderstand. I said Jim Carrey movies didn't break the mold. But they were brilliant. Yeah. They were brilliant because he was so talented and they were in like unique premises.

Yes. detective, magical mask, someone who's dumb. Dumb and dumbery. Yeah. And when you watch it, it's brilliant. Even Adam Sandler, Happy Gilmore. Brilliant movie.

Brilliant comedy movie. At every point in that movie, you know what the character wants. Yes. It's very clear. Did it break the mold? No. Because you know highs and lows,

mentors, mentor, low point. Happy ending. Wins. Yes. Wins the sports. So I guess my question is how to do that with comedy. I think comedy breaks the mold not with the structure of the story

but like what happens within you know like Jim Carrey is like oh I'd never seen a dude do that shit when I was a kid unless it was like a cartoon character but he was like not a he was like elastic and not a fucking person yeah he was without CGI

he could change his face like a you know he could do the faces without it looked like it was CGI yeah I mean because the way he molds his face but sorry so this goes back to what you're saying before about movies having unpredictable twist whereas comedies I feel like they can't do that So to be a great comedy

You just got to be Just got to be funny And the storyline The end of our movie We should get a sex change That should be a twist They're just like Wait why

And we're like Just fucking stay with us I guess white chicks Change the mold A little You know Okay but white chicks Structurally

Predictable Yeah But Yeah The premise was Unpredictable Yeah It'd be really

Unpredictable If it was me And Norman And black chicks We just go out In blackface And get the It kicked out of us immediately.

Yeah. Hey, that's not a bad scene. That's the movie. They could put that in. Me and you were the Williams sisters. Yeah, you guys could do that. But I think a naked gun or an airplane, you never saw jokes like that. You know, naked gun, the lady walks up the ladder and he goes, nice beaver.

And she goes, thanks. And hands down a stuffed beaver. Stuff like that where you're like, whoa, I've seen that. Is that the grossest term for a vagina? Beaver is really not complimentary. It's not. That was even worse Beaver's not great

But Coochie That's some rough ones, clams Beav is not an attractive animal Not that I want to fuck any animal But sure Maybe hatchet wound is pretty That's pretty hard Box is

Box, yeah Beaver's rough Honeypot It has to be the worst Yeah I don't even get how you get to beaver Is it? Yeah I guess because it's furry

Yeah Bajingo It's usually wet Bajingo That sounds like a slur for Italian. Oh, yeah, Bichingo. Maybe the Bajingo ate your baby. Cookie, I've never heard Cookie.

Yoni, that's just the Jewish name. What the fuck? Oh, yeah. Hey, Moishe, nice Moisha. You guys are real puts. Producers bringing up for the podcast listeners. Twat, that's a classic. Cookie, that guy's a pedophile.

Anybody who calls it of Cookie. Yeah. That was a racial slur against Blanche. black people. Cookie? Yeah, because I remember that movie with De Niro and Cuba Gooding Jr. I forgot what it's called, but he keeps calling him that. They were really running out of like, you know,

like triumphant black stories. Yeah, they made it to like the first black scuba diver and I was like, all right. Yeah, it's over. I mean, I'll give you Jackie Robinson. That's fucking great. But like the scuba diver, I was like, yeah, I forgot the men of honor. That's what it was. Yes, yes, yes.

The black guy's swimming. That's where you lost me. There was a cord. Did you see sinners? Yeah, I enjoy it. The black guy eating the girl out, I was like, this is science fiction. Holy shit. All right, we're having to.

That was a fun one. It was, it was science fiction. It was vampires, man. I know. That I believe. That part I believe. Maybe the best version of the two guys playing or played by one guy I've ever seen. How hard you did it.

How about, how about adaptation? Oh, that was pretty great. That was pretty great, yeah. So, so different. I love that. Another level. What about, what about the two guys playing one guy in social network? Yes, that was good.

Army Hammer. Yeah, WinkleVar. Oh, yeah. Wow, I didn't even realize that. Shit, that's how good it was. That's a good sign, yeah. Damn. Boy, whatever happened to that guy.

I'm kidding. But he didn't do it, didn't he? What happened with it? I think they pumped it up. He was creepy, but it wasn't actually eating women with a fork. I don't think he actually ate people. Yeah. Bring him back to the next Silence of the Lambs or something.

Oh, that's not bad. That's the move. I think he's already back. Is he? He's so handsome. Handsome guy. I mean, he's like a woman's dream. He's got the Army hammer or the Arm and Hammer money and the...

Is that really? Yes. Yeah, he's the air. Yes. Oh, shit. Yeah, that's why he's called Army. Yeah. Arm and Hammer.

Right. I just assumed it was a coincidence. Yeah, he comes from a rich family. You know, his gay brother, Navy. Okay. I'll see you all in hell. I can't believe you're still on the Daily Show. What is this?

20 years you're doing? No, 10 years. I've only been in America for 10 years, man. For a comic to keep a job for 10 years is rare. I know. I agree. That's what I tell people. It's like we were never supposed to.

I also have job security. Right. So, yeah, I've been here for 10 years. Wow. 10 years. And how many, like, how often do you host it? I host it, thanks for watching, by the way. I hosted, I see, I did watch the clip.

Yeah, thanks watching clips. I host it like every couple weeks. I host it for like three days. Yeah, that's so cool. Best job in comedy, I think. Yeah, definitely. I tell you what's good about comedy, about daily show that you guys would love,

is that when you're at the daily show, the only agenda that the writers and the performers have and the producers is to make jokes. And I say that in comparison to, have you guys worked on ads before, like commercials? A little bit. Where they bring you in to write on a commercial.

And when you work at a daily show, because this is my first experience in America was writing on the daily show, being on the daily show. And then I had to experience being on ads in America. And the agendas with ads, so different. Oh, yeah. They got stuff they want to sell,

there's stuff they want to educate. You pitch a joke and they're like, you know, and fair enough, they'll be like, oh, this, you can't say this. Of course. Daily show is like, no, just go for it. Oh, I love that. Just go for it. And okay, sometimes you go for it and it doesn't work.

Or you go for it and then we cut it before the final taping for whatever reason. Yeah. But at least people are going for it. They won't pick jokes when you're doing an Old Spice ad? No, it's not that. It's that you pitch stuff. But then, you know, Old Spice has the right to not use them. Because, and their agenda

This will clean up your bejinga. That's exactly. So, you know, when you're there, and then, like I said, at a day of you, you're surrounded by comics who just want to write jokes. Yeah.

You know, when you're doing a commercial, you're surrounded by people who, they're not professional comics. Some of them are writers, but they're not like comics. So they're not, the agenda isn't to, let's find the thing that makes us laugh.

Yeah. Hey, let's find something that we can use to sell the product, which is fair enough, you know? Oh, totally. Yeah, yeah. Dude, you're also, by the way, such a good actor. Oh, yeah.

The movie Megan is so fucking fun. Oh, that was great. That was like a sci-fi. I just threw it on one day, not knowing you were even in it. Oh, thanks a little bit. So it was such a cool surprise, but you play this, like, tech, this tech giant asshole. You play a good asshole. Thank you, yeah.

I like to think I can play a good asshole. This was good, you would like this movie because it's. I saw it. written by writer with a great sense of humor so he made this quirky little New Zealand you know

it's not set in New Zealand but we filmed it in New Zealand oh wow really yeah and it has that New Zealand quirky comedy sensibility yeah yeah it had a lot of levity it was definitely lighter yeah it was self-aware and that was the key about this movie is that we all know what's going to happen here

this doll is going to go nuts so the fun is in the lead up to that. Yes. You know, the fun is in how self-aware can we be without giving away

the whole game, right? Right. Without being so up our own butts with it. Yeah, yeah. And the director hit it

perfectly. It's like this very self-aware, self-referential, but still earnest, uh, attempt.

Yes. At a horror. And you write Megan 2.0 is out today. I'm not in it because of this scene right here. Uh, I actually have died in like five movies.

now so damn what else did you die of I died of cancer in one movie I died in this movie I died I got shot

I was Salma Salma high ex-boyfriend what in bliss whoa hold that up that one yeah where's that did you get to touch her

at all I got to act of her yeah she was great very cool person she's one of these ageless women she just doesn't age yes yes

yeah um bliss this movie I was I was in it it's a great movie by way This movie is a very meta-physical. It almost seems like if a movie isn't self-aware now, it won't work.

I feel like we've gotten so far in movies that you kind of have to be winking at the camera a little bit, or else the audience is like, ah. Ted Bundy movie we need. He's like, I know. The worst. What are you going to do with this? Yeah, I don't know. That's the other thing.

Hey, so I like to ask people with a bit more perspective than me, but like, is it tough to do? this stuff now that there's so much shit to watch and everyone's so goddamn educated in entertainment. I know, exactly. You can't, you can't, it's harder to surprise people now. That's a good way to put it. You know, and it's good

because it pushes everyone to be better. But it is harder to, used to be able to be a lot more mediocre, I think. One thousand percent. Get away with it. And the shit that goes viral is shit that you would never expect. You're like, that went viral? Right. Because you can't pinpoint what the algo or with the

people want right yeah yet yet yeah crack it yeah i mean we know we know at the we know the we know the lowest common denominator that will go viral like saying right and word or what you know oh really go viral you could have a hit mark calls his manager right now cooking something up my kids are going to love it so we know that you know i mean we know that stuff yeah but like quality going viral it's i don't know you know and it's not easy that's a point I don't know the internet Fuck man I can't even

Well this is one of your great Chang insights Like you had the Twitter thing Before you had that bit Before everybody had it You know how you said Twitter's like cigarettes You know Sorry well yeah It's such a good

It's such a good It's so good you guys can't remember Use the internet when you were pregnant That was the line Yeah yeah I quote that three times a week Oh thanks man Yeah I take credit for it

But yeah I still quote it I think the bit was We don't know the damage your internet is doing it could be like drinking alcohol like 20 years will be like i can't believe we let pregnant women use the internet yes yes it's just like drinking it's so damaging it is it's dangerous you say i switch to this now i switch to just using a whoa good on you just to get off so you don't have a phone on you anymore like i have a phone somewhere but i try not to that's great turn it off and just use this now and what's the benefit to that so you can you're in the

Apple ecosystem, you get all the messages, you get, and you want, you can't even take calls on this, but you don't, you can't doomscroll for no reason. You can't freaking, yeah, TikTok. Yeah, none of that. That's the move. This is the move. This is the move, guys. That's smart. Well, back to Pagers. DeRosa does the same thing. He's like, I put my phone at home and I take my watch out. You got to text me? Great. You got to call me. Great. But that's it. I'm not going to just sit there and stare. But that's what is like offline is the new luxury. I know. I know. We got spend so much money just to get offline now yeah yeah we got spend we got higher social media managers to do that we got a you know i bought a typewriter yeah whoa digital one but i put in the back

and i can just i won't oh that's good yeah is it the i know the one what's it called um like the smart right or something it's that the the the free right free right that's got that yeah how is it i like it you like it okay so you're paying to not have internet that's That's crazy. It's crazy, but it keeps me off from, like, scrolling. Does it work? Yeah, I just, I do a, they call it the Pomodoro method, I think. Yeah, 20, 30 minutes, whatever.

You set a timer, you do it. And then you're like, okay, I'm all in for 20, 30 minutes. And then I'll take a break and then I'll go back to it. Whoa. Now, how do you get that shit off of there if there's no internet? It's got Wi-Fi, but you can't scroll. So just to email yourself. Wow.

How about that? Yeah. Now, what does that puppy run you? It wasn't cheap. It's like $500. How funny is that? That fucking doohickey that looks like a piece of plastic is $500. That should be $30.

Again, this is the frugal. I know. No, no, I don't think you're cheered. I think you're very frugal. Because this is the guy he, I forgot about this. He works out on scaffolding. That's right. Yeah.

He does the New York City workout. I'm not wasting it. Yeah. But you know, Whitney Cummings called me. It was like, you need to get this. Right. And she was like, it will change your life. Oh, here we go.

Percocet? Yeah, I'm on that too. It's working, dude. Good. Well, what is it? Oh, this. This, this, yeah. She told me on it.

What, so you're interested in this? I'm interested, yeah, but I also have pretty good willpower, so I can just, I'll type. But I use a paper. I don't even use my laptop. I use paper, too. Yeah. I like a legal pad. Paper is good.

Legal pad is good. The only problem is you got to rip it out and take it with you to the show. That's not a problem. I know, but it would be nice to have it all in one place. Yeah. I got 38 pieces of loose leaves in my pocket. though. Yeah, but then you...

You consensfer. Yeah, you transfer to a word of... Oh, yeah. You got consolidate this. For $50. Oh. Yeah, like it's... You got consolidated.

Okay, there we go. I don't know which one's in order. These guys look like... Yeah, it's a couple of ransom notes here. Let me see that. Take it. This is great. Just don't lose the order.

Oh, shit. Yeah, this is the new stuff on top. I don't want to touch it. All right, but you get the gist. Dude, I can't believe you guys had this in your asses the whole time. Oh, yeah. All day. long you didn't even you didn't even take it out for the podcast wow no yeah you got to keep it in

you don't want to lose it but this is this adds to the mythology uh no no i remember better if i just handwrite it yeah yeah it just kind of seeps in your brain a little bit agreed yeah this is the future okay it's insane it is it is it is insane yeah well everything kind of like podcasts or just radio it all just kind of comes back you know i got wait for tv to come back whatever that is. Yeah. Now his radio, back to radio.

Right. To TV. Yeah, we'll get there, but it'll be some new iteration of it. It'll be TV straight to your brain. Yeah. It'll be like smart glasses. Yeah, it'll be straight to your brain TV.

If you're tired of your underwear riding up down and sideways, it's time for sheath. Let's see if we're wearing them. Oh, yeah. Even a second of doubt. I never doubt. That's all I wear. I love them. Sheath underwear is a total game changer with two pouches, one for your dick and one for your

balls. It keeps things cradle. right where they're supposed to be. I mean, these are my favorite underwear ever. They look good. Women like them, they always come. They're like, where do you get those? I love those.

They never go Swiss cheese on you. No. You never get the Swiss cheese. They stay intact. It's good material. It feels comfortable and it looks great. It's the best. Can't lose.

And I'd like some more if possible, if you're listening. You could send some. I don't like the ones that go this far down. I like the ones that are like here. If you could send me some more. Oh, yeah. For the winter, maybe. I agree.

Too long. You feel like an old man. Yeah. I'm like, what am I going to. You know, yeah, old man Winters over here coming by you, damn kids. Long Johns. Yeah, no, I like it like right here. If you could send me a few more, I'd be very, very grateful.

Support your balls. Yeah. That's the thing. We used to see everyone on the subway now like this. We're going to see him just in a few years with glasses on like this. I know. I'll push back on this narrative a little bit because I agree we're using our phones too much. But if you look at photos of 1970s, New York, everyone's on the newspaper.

Everyone's on the paper. Okay, so let's calm down with the... We used to be more united as a speaker. But at least the paper you had... At least the paper you had to read. Yes. As opposed to now, you're just like, ass today. It's a guy eating food and rating it.

That's true. Absolutely. People need to reading is the antidote to social media. And it forces you to slow down. Sorry. We were all reading the same thing. So we're all new the news. We all knew the sports score.

We all knew what movies were out, whatever. The point of reference, yeah. Those context to society. Now everything's splintered. But then someone goes viral and everyone knows who the Rizzler is. We're all in the same page. It's just run a dumber same page. Way dumber.

The page is way dumber now. What do you think about auto-correct? I think that made us dumber. That made us dumber. but it's got nothing compared to AI now because Autocrat made us bad spellers AI is making us bad thinkers I agree I don't use it

Yeah AI I've seen it like I I refuse to use AI For a few years now And then I was I saw someone using it this year And I said okay I better see what it's about I'm gonna make fun of this I better know at least try it out once And I used it and it was like wrong

Oh really? Yeah the stuff I was doing it wasn't great. It was basically summarizing Google and sometimes it would summarize stuff that I knew was wrong because it was about me. And then I would use it to, what was really cool about it was that it could extract data and I used it to draw a normal distribution curve.

And it would extract data and draw this normal distribution curve I was using to prove something racist about a certain race. And my point is that if I didn't know what a normal distribution curve was, I couldn't even use it anyway. So you need to have knowledge of mathematics and what information you're looking for and humanities and geography just to use it properly.

I think that there's all people now who are just using it as a starting point and not the tool. And I think it's going to make mediocre people dumber. There's going to be young people hooking up and the kids in the bathroom like, how do I make a woman come? I guarantee that's already happened.

I've done that. Yeah, I've done it a few times. And it was wrong. Yeah, well, every woman's different. That's why AI's never going to win the Ginga or whatever it's called. You know, it is amazing. I remember when we... The cookie.

Remember when we stopped remembering phone numbers? Yeah. I thought that was going to be... I was like, this is crazy. Like, I'm going to be... It's going to affect my memory. Oh, yeah. Everything gets a little...

Because with the convenience of it all, we all get a little dumber. Like, even back in the day, I know now we sound like old quefs, but you had to pull a map out. You had to find yourself on the map. and then reverse engineer to follow the line. It was crazy. Remember printing directions too? Printing directions? Remember you got halfway there?

You pulled over. You're like, hey, sorry, sir. I'm looking for this. And you go, oh, you got to go six blocks that way and take it right. Now you're interacting with someone. All that's gone. It's all gone. I mean, to bring it back to something even baser, this will appeal to you guys

because you're gross people. But like my manager in Australia used to tell me like he used to be, and then we experienced this too, this is his take, not mine. He said it used to be like you had to call If you wanted to call a girl You had to call their house phone Yes And you had to navigate that shit

Deal with their dad Whatever was on the other end of the other end And navigate that You know And that I guess that gave you some kind of skill set To navigate society A little bit

But now it's like You're just either directly messaging Or you're just going to internet Wow You had to talk to the parents You had to call the What you mean? You're all the same age

No, I know. I'm remembering. I'm forgetting that. I was like, holy shit. You had to call the house, and then who knew who picked up? Someone picked out, you bet, oh, hello, is Stacey in? And then freaking- Stacy's not available. You piece of shit.

Put her on the phone, dude. Yeah, yeah. It was like host-stakes negotiations. Yeah. Figure out navigate that. That's the skill set that. Oh, we would prank call him, too. And it was like, oh, my God.

I remember one guy, one guy called my home like, one day called my home like a hundred times. And I was like, thank God my parents left town. I was like, if he got them. I was fucked. Oh, shit. There was this girl I had a crush on, and my friend, and we, like, kissed at some dance when I was a kid. And I was like, it'd be funny. My friend's like, it'd be funny if we call and, like, say, you want a banger to the dad.

Yeah. And we did. And he's like, I'll fucking kill you. I'll fucking murder you. And I was like, oh, shit. He's like, where are your parents? I was like, uh, and I hung up. And then.

Did he know it was you? He didn't recognize the star six nine. Oh. So we just kept calling back. And I was like, oh, fuck. Oh, no. I forgot about my parents. He tried so many times. I was like, fuck. He's going to delete message. Delete message. Yeah. I figure out how to. Whoa. How do you resolve? Can you just unplug the phone? I guess I could have. I think, uh, I remember he would leave messages and I would just keep deleting them. I got away with it.

Right. And so he actually he gave up. Yeah. Wow. America was crazy back then. Remember, like, your address was just in a phone book. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Someone could look up and come and kill you. That's so true. It was right. right there. You can look up what up the Murrilles. Unlisted was a power move.

Yeah. It was like, whoa, this dude must be some kind of hot shot. Well, it's funny because now we go, he's been doxed. Eight years ago,

I was like, you're in the book. Like, docks my ass. If you have a shitty name, you're getting prank called. Yeah. Oh, that was big. Harry Sack.

You're fucked. You're done. You're done. In my neighborhood, I lived in a black neighborhood, so people would call me like, and I go, hello?

And they go, oh, man. number I knew immediately they'd go off my voice those were different times but yeah that America is actually very hard to stay private hey I know I know everywhere and now now we're voluntarily sharing so much yeah but what was the logic of I guess people are just more trusting back then I think so put your phone number in the phone book it's fine yeah in case you know a long-lost relative is looking for me right school friend is looking for me at least he's there again yeah I mean people would

put on their dormant, the Johnson's, or whatever. Everything was a little more loose. When is it good that someone's looking for you? No, it's never. It's never good. Not rarely, 99% of the time. It's bad. You know, I was thinking about this.

Remember getting your films developed, like your pictures developed. That was weird because, A, a guy was just looking at your shit. Yeah, someone was looking at your shit. Yeah. It was looking at shit. And also, sometimes you spent money and the photo was all blotted out. Yeah, it was fucked. Yeah.

You're like, oh, this is a bad. one we took a bad one well my first thought was hey what the fuck who's this weirdo looking at my shit then i realized i post half my shit online anyway it's all the same no it's yeah more weird with a joke with the disposal camera we just open your paint oh that was fun oh yeah job he was duty sworn to develop yeah but the dick pick spike when that shit ended did like when that shit ended the dick pick went way up because you could just send it you know Right, right. Back then to get a dick pick, some other guy.

We sound so old. I know. I'm like almost 40. But here's my thing. I'm glad. The phone is the first invention in history. I'm glad I lived before it. Like, you see what I'm saying?

Like, penicillin, no one's like, I'm glad I grew up before penicillin. But the phone, I'm like, oh, great. Yeah, yeah. I'm glad my brain wasn't damn. Yes, yes. I remember when Snake on a Nokia was like, oh my God, snake? That was incredible. That was big.

Even the phone camera, like the old one, the Razor had a little phone camera. That blew my mind. Yeah. Take a picture of your dick. Yeah. It all comes back to the dick. You can send a JPEG? Yeah.

The Razor was a power move because you get the guy who didn't say goodbye. We would just go. Oh, the clam show. That's a fucking dickhead. That was good. I thought he was already gold. Did you guys have pagers? I had it for a hot minute.

I had a pager two in Singapore was pretty big. Oh, yeah. The pager culture was big, yeah. Well, the, Motorola Pagers. The thing about the pager was, I hated it because I was like, ah, people can find me. Oh, you hated that. I got rid of it. Then here we are.

Here you are. We are 2025. That was a big joke at comedy clubs for a while. Like, please silence your phones or if you have a pager, you're living in the wrong year. And you're like, all right, all right. They're like, we're luckily, hey, or do you a drug dealer? It would get big laugh. That was everywhere.

That was like the stock hack host lines in like, 200,000. In like 2008. Oh, it's a host, not even a V-O. No, no, it was a host. You'd be like, you've got a pager. Look at this fucking guy. If there was crowdwork Instaclips back then, there'd be a lot of dudes being like,

this guy's got a page or explode. And my wife will text me 80 times a day, but just think like my dad went to work at 8.30, got there at 9, worked till 5, got home at 5.30, never heard from the wife. It's not like she was calling him at his office, maybe for an emergency. Oh, yeah.

That's heaven. Sure. Rock is a bit about that. Like why the marriage has lasted longer. Oh. Just disappear and then you come back. That's big. All day.

That's big. Yeah. That's something. Yeah, but now it's one thing I saw someone have this take on the internet. I wish I could give them credit. But it was something about how we're using AI to do the creative when the creative is the fun part. And we should be using AI to do the marketing. Yes.

Because the marketing is what we hate. Good point. But instead, we're doing the marketing. Well, we use AI to do the creative. And it's like, we're doing the worst job and having them do, having the fucking AI do the best part of the job. Yeah. So it's how come I can't get AI to fucking sell these tickets?

Damn. Yeah. Like, we're using it to create. Yeah. Because people are using for, for, like, copy and emails and, like, I need a notary printed or a whatever a cover letter. People use it for that but yeah the marketing that's a good point. You know the guy

go fly, hey do you like comedy giving out flyers? That should be AI. That should be AI. I'll tell you it like some of the AI is fucking brutal though I had a cable outage and I'm like you know I'm trying to get to a person though like a person's an hour away AI can talk to you

oh no let me try AI I'm doing the typing back and forth and it's like it's like don't understand what this means again again I'm like it's one of the two options you gave me and they're like I don't understand I'm like a human will not just malfunction

right so there's still work to be done but like I mean that's all those jobs like in India and stuff they're going to AI yep yep sure that's true and it's not a it's not a well oil machine at least yet it's not

right no no I do think comedy is hard to the more I see AI the more I'm like oh you guys can't replace this on stage live You know what I mean? Cut to all canceling our next tours. Robot Ronnie! Well, type in, make me a Ronnie joke.

Do you got chat, GBT? No, don't do this. You'll teach it. Don't do this. Anyone could do it. Do it mine then. No, do it, do Monnorman. Let's do a joke of all of ours.

Okay, put in a one-hour photo. Make a joke about photo development in the 90s. And let's get a Norman take, a Ronnie take, and a Sam take. Let's see what we get. Okay, okay. This is exciting. Now we're doing something. I hate this. I hate it too, but we need to know.

I know. You got to know what you're up against. Sure. Here's my mock no one's voice. Okay. Remember photos developed by your 90s? Yeah, you drop up a roll of film. Wait three days and pray half of it wasn't just your thumb. Three days. That's how lot it took to find out your ugly nowadays is instant. Oh. That's how long it took for you to find out you're ugly.

Nowadays is instant. That's not bad. Back then I was like, sorry, pal, you're unattractive. But we had to double check in the lab. Comedy. It actually said comedy. Wow. That's how much of your brain is in it.

Oh, my God. Let's see what we got for me. You should do this. I'm sorry. My eyes. Man, photo development in the 90s was wild. You drop off a roll of film, wait a week, and then find out, yeah, you wasted 36 shots on your buddy blinking. And then the guy at CVS saw all of it first.

And he's like, hey, I just wanted pictures of my vacation, not a custody battle for my dignity. Decent wording at the end, but not funny at all. It's not funny. It's good word choice, but it's not, it sounds like a joke, but it's not a joke. Yeah, so I did nail you. It was funny. Yeah, I'm like Norman got me, dude. Oh, shit. Oh, no. Oh, no. All right, I'll do yours.

Okay, should I do the eyes? I'll do that. No, okay. Photo development in the 90s was the dumbest thing ever. You take pictures, then you have to wait a week to see them. A week! What is this? The Stone Age?

And when you finally get them back, half are blown. and the other half of your mom's finger. Why did I pay $12 to find out my family doesn't know how to use a camera? Ronnie and mine were kind of similar. Yeah. AI Ronnie's a joke thief. Yeah.

Now put it in Carlos Mencia's voice. Mine had the ugly thing in it, which I don't know why they... It was the best turn, but why did they have to make... They made me the mean guy. You're the mean guy, dude. I'm mean.

I'm Lisa Lampinelli. Queen of mean. Can we get a Mensia take or now? Oh, shit. All right, who's got a Mexican accent? Back in the 90s, you had to take your film to get developed. Yeah, drop it off, wait a week, come back. Surprise, that's 24 pictures of your dad's Harry back at the beach, and you still have to pay for it.

Only in the 90s could you spend money to find out your family's ugly. Wow, they got his catchphrase. Oh, that's his catchphrase? Yeah, he used to do that. It was like the retard voice, and he got away. Yeah. That was like his whole thing. Yeah.

All right. I didn't even know. Rogan's pissed about this bit. I think he took a robbery. He's like, yeah. He's talking by AI Mancia now? Yeah. Isn't that funny that Rogan got kicked out of the store for that

and his management dropped him? Wow. After that fight. Yes. I remember that. Different time. And then now look who's, you know. So it just shows like time will really tell.

I guess, yeah. You know, or. This is scary, though. I don't dare to. I don't dare to type this in. Yeah, I don't want to teach you anything. But this is good. We're safe for another.

a couple of years, I hope. I just had one take and it kind of did too much with our voices. Exactly. Yes. No creativity. It's stuck in a wall. Yes. I mean this, if more honorable people would

use this as a hack check. Oh, yeah. But they won't. But I'm just saying, if it's here, it's hack. That is a pretty good tool, though, at least. It is good but no one's going to use that. I think that's a good idea. I might start doing that. I remember we did, I remember a friend and I cheated in school once. I were really young and we would do a thing like I'd do one paper, he'd do the other.

And we were just, we were just copy and copy each other. And we're trying to make sure I made, he made sure that I wouldn't copy his verbatim. He's like, make sure you make changes to the sentences. Like, you got it. And I look, and he put the word kike every other sentence to make sure I read it. And I was like, thank God I fucking, I usually didn't even love. Wow. Can you imagine handing that one in?

That's hilarious. That could be a bit. That's a funny story That's so funny That's really funny That's a funny friend Was that in college or high school? High school

Was he Jewish? He was not Even better Yeah Oh that's great Well that's the types of friendships we had Yeah But he did it just to encourage you

Encourge me to read He used racism for me to cheat less That's great That's the bit Yeah I know you love this I know you love that That's great See racism can be good

Racism can be good He pushed me Especially in a school setting Yeah Hooked on phonics All right Yeah man You got a lot of dates coming up

You're going out with Hassan Minaj I'm going out with Hassan However you pronounce his name I don't know I thought it was Hassan Nobody knows He's in Urdu

You know one Sorry we can't speak Urdu Erdo Erd don't Yeah We're going out We're doing a two-hander show We're both on stage

At the same time And no stand-up I mean there's comedy but it's but it's you guys like kind of yeah we're not we're not doing like I do 30 he does 30 minutes and then we come on the end and bullshit it's the whole

show is us on stage litigating our grievances against each other and you got some surprises in there we have we have production value it's not just you know two guys in t-shirts holding a bunch of whiskeys and just being like

we can make money right this is you'll pay for this right Right. He put an effort into it. Does he wear a suit? Or just, oh, you're both suiting up. Boy, okay. Yeah.

I think there's something also with like, if you're Asian in America, I think you got to dress up a bit. Otherwise, it's easy to become a bit of a, you know. Yeah, like, you look like that, you don't want to be the butt of the joke. You want to be dishing it out. Oh, I never thought. He's a well-dressed guy, too. Oh, yeah. He looks great.

Great hair, everything. But even like the 5 o'clock shadow is perfect. Perfect. Everything is not oppressed at all. But you're right. Bobby Lee looks like hell. I mean, you see Bobby Lee. He looks like he's been at a music fest for three weeks, got a weird t-shirt, a yellow hat on.

Bobby rocks the chaotic look. He does. That's true. That's a good point. He rocks the chaos. He's the, you know, 50-year-old in a beanie. Right. He was a skateboarder.

Beanie and T-shirt and he's, you know. L.A., California, cool, laid-back guy. Yeah, well, I don't know about it. He's not laid-backed guy. He's pretty high-strug, and he's going to. kill himself but yeah you know what i mean he does always look like he just got out of rehab he does you don't know if he's going in or going out but he's always very supportive i love we love bobby lee bobby's yeah maybe the uh look of the jordan of podcasting i mean who's a better

podcaster than bobby lee definitely not me no he is he's unreal he's unreal he's so good at podcasting that he doesn't need to release any specials that's true that's true he's so good at podcast putting one out, though. Has he? He is. He's going to. That's, that's, he's saying it for like years. That's true.

But he's hilarious. So he can't kill any time he wants, but he's podcasting is so strong that once you have a killer fade away. I mean, do you even need to go left anymore? Like, you know, I don't know what the basketball. His Jordan thing is, his stand-up special is going to be Jordan playing baseball. Oh, yeah, yeah. Just to stretch yourself.

No, you know what he, he, he needs like an assistant. to just go through all of his amazing stories from podcasts and just hand them to him and then he works them out on stage. Yes. Because the amount of moments he has that are just pure gold on top. Sure.

I can think of one story he shouldn't use, but mostly all of them. Really good stories. Yeah, he's killer. He's a killer. He's OG as well. He's one of the original. Oh, yeah.

Who were comics when you first came here who were like really cool to you besides us? And you looked up to? Before I came here. Before I came here. It was, Todd Berry, Bill Burr, it was Louie, it was Colin Quinn.

Didn't Burr slide in your Facebook? Bill Burr slid into my Facebook, yes. Whoa, really? Yeah, he was very nice to, he out of nowhere, he just messaged me on Facebook. He was just like, Jimmy O. Yang, I'm a big friend. He said he saw my, my JFL set, not even a, you know, not even a headline spot,

It was just like a 10-minute set on Just for Laughs. He said he watched it on a plane. Wow. He said he loved the bit. Wow. He reached out and just say, I just want to let you know, I love the bit and hope we can work together. That's great. Man, you're a legend, and I live in Australia, so I don't know if I ever meet you, but, you know, thank you for reaching out.

And he said, I'm touring in Australia next year. I love for you to be on the bar. That's pretty cool. It's super cool. It's super cool. I didn't even believe it was him until, because this picture was a truck. This could be anybody So I can't even believe it

Good comics watch comedy I've noticed Like Seinfeld's always watching He loves you as well He's a big, he's always bringing you up But I feel like Like When I used to open for Louis

And he was like You know this Carmichael guy? He's funny And I was like really Oh yeah You know Carmichael? Because he wasn't Carmichael yet He wasn't on every HBO special

But I remember He was like that Hannibal guy He's all right I mean he was bigger But they knew all their stuff and so that was always impressive to me yeah but you got like that's comedy right like we guess so i think that's what separates us from influencers on is that i think we appreciate the history of it more yeah for sure history being literally what someone did last week like

history of it history of like everyone's bits who's done what like we yeah we love it and where it's going see a funny young comic it's yeah it is funny it's like damn and and yeah anyway i i i i really think that's what separates the comedy comedians from the other art forms you know it's like man we always like want to hear this great bit from someone else like oh he heard that bit oh and also I think you said it right

only hacks love the material I think you told me that's crazy I think it's crazy if you're doing your bit enough you got to hate it right so you got to move on to the next one sure yeah and even if you have a bit that's good you're like I fooled these

idiots again yeah that this was a good bit i just feel like every good comic i've ever met is just living in fear of their next good bit yeah yeah oh yeah i mean it's not a healthy way to live but i feel like every good company they're like they don't enjoy the present enough and they're like if they have a killer bit they can't enjoy it because they're like how the fuck am i going to write another yes yes you don't even really enjoy it never happy and then uh how the fuck am i going to write and then the people i i should be more special look there's some people i'm sure love their shit who aren't hacks, but it does feel right, right?

Yeah, it feels right. I used to think the only way I could have a good set was if I had a killer bit that worked perfectly, I wrote a new bit on stage in the same set, and I had a good crowd interaction. Wow. If those three

things didn't happen, I'm like, ah, I'm just a lot to hit. Yeah. And even when those three things happen, it's like what you said, you're like, oh shit, this will not happen again. And then, you're right. When you're killing, you're kind of like, well, it should be killing. I've been torn with this shit for a while. When you don't kill, you're like,

am I killing with this shit? Yeah, yeah. I'm torn with this. It's hard to ever feel good. But then, yeah, man. I mean, we always are, I think, just living in fear as part of it. Yeah, yeah, it's part of it, and it's great. But we were talking a lot about the Billy Joel doc recently

because he was writing his best shit when his life was just chaos. Oh, yeah. I wish I didn't relate to that, but like, I do feel like I'm like, my jokes that are working, I'm like, wow, I had a really stupid night. That's a bit. Sometimes something bad happens to me that's outside my control,

but I do feel like it's easier to create when you just gifted a ridiculous situation. Yeah. Yeah, I'm the opposite. When my life's in turmoil, I can't get creative because I'm too worked up and thinking about it. So I think it's different strokes, but yeah, the Billy Joel thing, he's getting divorced,

his money got stolen, he's like, I'm going back to work, and I'm writing songs, and he was putting out his best shit. Yeah, his hangover song was, you had to be a big shot. He was like, I'm yelling at myself hungover. He wrote

Piano Man when he was working at a bar as the piano guy and he's like, this sucks. I'll write a song about it.

Yeah. Sometimes the constraints are creative. Yes. Sometimes the constraints literally in filmmaking or sketch or something. It's like

not having unlimited options and resources actually is what makes it funnier. So sometimes comedy is like that too. It's like having, you know,

this shitty situation or like not having enough time to be creative or whatever is what, you know, the constraints is what makes you kind of rise to it. Yeah, like you ever had to turn a dirty joke clean to get it on something? It tends to be a little more well-written

because you had to work around those goalposts a little bit. You're on Fallon and you're like, and then I F through in the behind. Yeah, exactly. I put my index in her jaringa. Bojinga, sorry. That's a weird word Nice beave

Leave it to beaver I wonder if you can say beaver on Oh no chance Not in the context of a vagina Oh that's what I'm saying Well if you just go No no it's the animal I'm talking about the animal

You know the animal You just go What about Yeah I'm trying to think of some others Like you make a clean joke But then sometimes when you Those constraints will really Help you like a low budget movie

The script has to be fucking Like even I don't know what the budget for Megan was but they, I mean, they had, you know Yeah, we had to be a fun script, right? We had constraints on that, yeah, just by, yeah, and it was, um, I'm trying to think of Um, but flying you guys out to New Zealand's not cheap.

No, at that time, it was, it was a proper movie budget, but they were constrict, because you, you don't have unlimited special effects money. So you had to, you know, figure out how to, uh, be smart with it. So they had a, I guess this is not for me to say. I mean, the director is probably better suited to talk about. But we had a movement genius of a girl, be the doll instead of pure CGI. They put a girl who had perfect, just body control.

And I think, I don't know if it was for budgetary reasons, or that was his vision. But she is the one who did that dance, that clip. of that it went viral because it made the movie pop. Whoa, there you go. Versus, I don't know if they had

unlimited budget, would they have just CGI the whole thing? I don't know. I don't know if that's a creative choice or not, but that's a example of having some constraints, I think. Yeah, and also a good example of a human beating the robot.

Yeah. Human beating AI, yes. We got to start winding down, but I got to ask you about the Marvel. You're in the Marvelverse. That's right. That's fun. Yeah, it's okay. what do you mean you get the suit you get the muscles you get the no no I'm not I'm not I'm the

well you were one of them no I'm not oh you guys are being racist now oh wait a minute I was in the Marvel movie but I'm not the superhero guy you thought he was a fucking star you thought I was Chengxi wow wow my Apple watch is going on that guy no not that guy I'm not that guy I'm not that guy I'm thinking of a different guy I'm thinking of a squid game wow that's awful this I thought you all COVID, too. This was in COVID. We filmed it during COVID, yeah. I am in. You're in this, right?

I am in this, right? Okay, okay. Right? I can't tell if you're joking. No, I mean, I'm not, I'm not the guy. I'm not the she, she. I never actually saw the box or anything, so I just assume, oh, he's in it. He must be the guy. But I didn't think you were, and that guy were the same person.

I just thought you were the star, but I never knew what the poster looked like. Dude, I'm not the style of Marvel Sheng Shi. Oh, I thought you were. A very minor character. See, like, look, your face is next to the title there, so I just assumed...

Oh, wait, go to the left. Oh, that's a... That's a fan-made. Oh. You were in another movie I saw a couple years ago. Fuck, the two girls, right? The two girls... Uh-oh.

One movie? What? You were the guy in the nightclub, weren't you? What? Am I fucking... Oh, Joyride? Boom!

I was right. Woo, thank God. Welcome to a new episode, Right or Racist. I think I should play this game the whole time about, can you guess what movies are? Was that the point now if a big Asian movie comes out and you're not in it? What are they even doing? You were in crazy rich Asians and Call Me Maybe? You were hilarious in this?

I know, I know. I'm surprised you could name the, okay, name another movie I was in. Ronnie Chang, love it or hate it? That's a special. That's, who are you in it or not, Ronnie? Well, you were in vacation friends too. Was I in vacationing friends too? I thought.

Yes, I am. Hey! All right. Oh, there it is. Look at this impressive IMDB that you know nothing about. That is impressive. I can't keep track. A lot of movies.

I mean, a ton of it. Vacation Friends won. I was not in Vacation Friends 1. Oh, okay. Dude, Tuesday. That's one of my faith. Oh, man. Oh, okay.

I wrote the captions to it. I wrote the captions to it. Uh-huh. Okay. Okay. I just have friends who care about your stuff. Wow, that's a lot of flip. I know everything you've been in.

You're in Joker. Hey, go. That's the one. It was great. You were at the American Music Awards warming up. That's true. You warmed up for them at like Radio City. Yes.

And you were bombing. A big bomb. I think the Joker had a better set. The Joker had a better set than you at the thing It was bad This is what's so frustrating to me is that That was Joker, too That's the start of you

You panic, you just start doing a musical number That's also frustrating Because you're brilliant comic One of the greatest To ever do And then if you're bombing at that thing It's like, well, it's not him The problem isn't him

But then everyone thinks you're an asshole That's a hell gig Yeah It was a hell gig But no one knows But I remember you were there And you didn't post about it No

And also you're one of the most bulletproof guys I know They weren't even listening You are you're almost psychopathic In that you feel nothing You can bomb for one hour And feel nothing What are you kidding? I would kill me

No no you've done it before I disagree with that When he bombs he's a wreck I'm a mess after a bomb Really? Yeah But you will We all are Come on it feels horror

We all are But he is He'll walk out the hour of bombing and be like, all right, well... I would argue that's the only time he does feel. Yes, yes, that's better. Oh, I'm a wreck. But you'll take bad gigs all the time.

All the time. Because I want to see if I can get them. Yeah. So how can you say that you're not... I do the pain in the shadows. I just don't let you see. It's called stoicism. You get hurt?

You don't let other people see it. Yeah, you either... It's either stoicism or you become a serial killer. Or that. Or I hit my wife. It's got to come out somewhere. So you, but you'll do it, you know. So he's...

I'll do it. In that sense, he's bulletproof. Yeah. Ah, I still feel the bullets. But I won't die. You're like Wolverine. Yeah, there you go. You heal up.

You heal up quickly. That's it. You heal up quickly. All right, I'll take it. But yeah, that was a hell gig. It was such a bad gig that our friend Scott Rogowski went up to me. He was in the front of the stage and he went and took a selfie of me bombing with him in it. That's how little the audience.

gave a shit about my... Yeah, he texted me, goes, Norman's here. He's bombing so hard. How long did you have to do? I was supposed to do 10. I did 8 and they cut it. The guy on the side was like...

But what are you doing? You're just warming up, right? Just warming up, just doing some zings, some zangs. I saw Jailo and she went, oh! She's like, don't talk to me. Don't bring me to your bullshit.

Damn. Yeah, I did a zing on Ariana Grande. I think she flipped me off. I mean, it was bad. It was really bad. Talked about it on opium years ago. It was like a 10-minute story, but yeah. Wait, no, this was, but this was like...

This is years ago. Last 10 years, yeah, it's probably like 2013 or 14. No, no, it was after 15. It was after 15. I don't know, was it? It was after I came to America. Oh, okay. This bombing was so famous I heard about it.

As far as I thought to America, I heard about this. Oh, shit, all right. It was 9-11 than you at the... Yes, yes. 9-11 was better, but yeah. Yeah, but we've all bombed like that. That's just, you know... At least they had help.

They had a fucking... fireman coming in. I could have used the fireman, just throw me over his shoulder and get me out of there. This is the other thing about comedy, not to wax poetic about it, but the thing is that at these Hollywood things, comics we don't get awarded, which we shouldn't, we're countercultural figures who make fun of institutions, so we shouldn't, I'm fine, we're at the back of the bus making fun of people. Love that.

That's fine. But the fact remains that all that shit, when you go to award shows, the warm up comic, is a stand-up comic. The writers of the show are comics. The host is a comic. The showrunner is probably a former if not current comic. So comedy is making all that shit run.

The homeless guy outside the venue. It was a comic. Yeah. Everyone is a comic. Everyone's a comic. Everyone's a comic. Yeah. That whole thing, in the whole machine, we are the things that lubricate. Great point. We're the K-Y jelly to their penis. And we win

no awards at that thing either. No. But you know what? You wouldn't be having such a smooth ride without the K-Y. Yeah. You're here. Yeah. There you go.

So you bombing is an essential... You took the bullet on that thing. And that's a better story than you can. That's true. That's true. Meanwhile, he would have been on a rocket ship. Some guys are, this guy should take over for Fallon. Kids got it.

Yeah, no, no, thank you. They hated it. No, no, no. It's a better story, dude. That's true. Right, right. But I wish I didn't bring in the girl I was dating. Really?

Yeah, she left with Pete Davidson You went to a ditty party I wanted to go to that party Speaking of K-Y jelly All right I'll tell you, you're all right Why did you bring the girl? I thought it was cool

Was it Radio City? I was in the green room I got a black limo taking me up there I was like come on baby I'm the big time And then Damn

Yeah That was 9-11 I was the Pentagon I got hit two What was it? What was the gig? What was it again? It was warm up for the MTV Music Awards.

So it was all kids. It was like hot young teens, you know, dressed of the nines. They're all hip. They pay you? Oh, yeah. I remember Dane Cook did that, did like a segment on that show at the peak of his popularity, and he bombed. He bombed. So it just shows, it's a hell gig.

Yes. You're not, you're not. Isn't that irritating that people, they put you in these positions where you can't win? I know. They don't know, though. They don't even know what they're putting. They don't know, but I think what's worse is they don't care. They definitely don't care.

You know what I mean? If they cared and it messed up, I'm like, at least you guys are trying to win. Yeah. Most of the time, they don't care. They plug you in like it's music. Yes. Just go in there and, you know, fluorescent lights and, hey, you can just sing right here, acoustic. Just go.

That's true. Dude, we need context. Yeah, we need interaction, laughter. We need to listen. We can't, you know, you can't just throw us on like it's Metallica. Right. You're right. You're right, that's true.

So that's what's irritating to me is when the producers don't care and we get this all the time like local producers they're not even professional producers there are people who are like hey I want to do a charity show to raise money

what can I do to raise money oh I know I'll get comics let me get some comics and get some charity people and then we'll just raise my everybody will win and then they put on a horrible gig

the sound isn't right they'll put on the sick person before you, everyone's crying and you got to follow the person of cancer and they're like, this is comedy right? And then you look like shit. Yep. And they're like, oh, that comedy sucked. Yeah. I hate that. I hate that's my pet.

And then they're mad at you. Like, what happened out there? I'm like, I did my act. You didn't set me up. You put me in the outdoors with the fucking Fisher Price Mike. Yeah. And you're like, hey, I did this 50 times. It worked every time. Yes. Worked this time. So. That's you. I'm not the variable here.

I mean. Yeah. You're up there like, what is this? It's a cancer benefit? They're like, yes. It's tough. It's a tough thing. And they don't know. So anyway, my point is that unlike you, I've learned to say no to that. But you, you're like, no, I can get these guys. I can get these guys. I'm like marketing that way. I pretty much, if I get the offer, I'll pretty much do it. Yeah, I know. And the money's pretty good usually. You guys are true. I mean, I've done that before, you know, with corporates, but you guys take it to the next level of I will challenge myself. And I'm not scared of bombing. And I don't know. That's. Well, your stand-up is great, man

You put out killer special Truly, I mean Well, you guys One of the best Man, remember how much fun we had On that gig, Comics come home in Boston? Oh yeah, that was great, yeah

Literally, he had to switch trains Oh, I heard about this Was it your train that ran over the person Or my train? One of them. One of our trains ran over a person And I'm texting Ronnie, I'm like, are you on that train

that ran someone over? And he's like, yeah. And the ticket guy is like, comes over to me and he's like, hey man, I know you're doing the show tonight and I said, you know Ronnie Chang? Like, yeah, I'm like, he's coming on the train. Any chance you can get him on this train?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, so we made sure we sat together. He was cool as fuck. We got him to tickets. And we sat next to each other. And the guy's giving me like heads up. Every few minutes, he's like, he's like, because he recognized me. So he was like, hey man, she was a, it was a suicide.

Oh, my God. Thanks, thanks. Then he's like, comes back a few minutes later. He's said an Indian style. I'm like, I don't need it all this thing. He keeps coming back. But then, but he was cool as fuck and he came to the show. It was very cool.

He came to the show. He kept giving us too much information. We don't need to, can you just tell us when it's moving? That's all, yeah, that's great. And then we did a train to train. I don't know if you've ever seen this in America, where it's train to train transfer, they put a ramp. Whoa.

Just go, like your docking space shit. Right, right. Just run across. And then, man, I had to, yeah. And then he emailed me at the end of the night. It was a sick line. It was, you know, burr, all these great comics on it. And he emailed me, man, that lady getting run over is the best thing that ever happened.

Maybe the best show in my life. Because I wouldn't have started the combo without. Yeah. So, you know, sad story. Anyway. But show was great. Show was good. And then at the end of the night

when we just went into that hotel and it was like blasty, it was one of those hip hotel. Oh, I hate that. Blasty music, we just looked at each other. We went straight to the venue. Yeah. It was exhausted.

We just looked at each other like. Yeah. Then you're like, let's go sit in front of a train. So you got this? Any stand-up stuff? Or are you just doing this for now? I was doing this for now. I mean, I do, you know, I'm always doing spots around the city,

but that's true. This for now. You guys are selling out. Two. Holy hobby center. Seattle. Fox Theater, that's a beauty. Yeah. These are good, man.
