It's like when you're getting, you're like, life is tripping. Mine managed me as if they passed away it's like when you're getting your like life is mine managed me as if they passed away but it's like my my two okay when i was in chicago i got this guy named tk kirkland i know tj he'll turn a room yeah he's he he's gangster hardcore but he's the one that influenced me to come to new york really people and people when he talks they go oh he's fucking lying oh he doesn't lie he's he sounds you have you ever heard somebody that's telling truth but sounds
Starting point is 00:07:58 like they're lying he goes he goes yeah he goes i he stole Eddie Murphy's watch. What? Yeah, he took Puff, I think, whose credit? Russell Simmons' credit card. When he was 18, 19, he was stealing. I love this guy. Because Charlie Murphy. You just love people who steal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Charlie is a kleptomaniac. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Not with jokes or anything. No, definitely not. But he'll steal like a candy bar. I do that. Oh, definitely not. But he'll steal like a candy bar. I do that.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Oh, it's a rush. Because I was a big kleptomaniac in college. Same. I stole a lot of shit in college because we had no dough. You're broke as fuck. I went away for school, University of Illinois, fighting Illini. I went to University of Illinois. I was a pre-med psych major. So this is what happened
Starting point is 00:08:46 our books were super expensive and you're like what the fuck is this you know like college is expensive it's unnecessarily expensive so I'm like fuck you know so what we did was my friends were working at
Starting point is 00:09:02 the bookstore and I've you know you have people who would work study I did library work study my friends were working at the bookstore. You have people who work study. I did library work study. My friends did. One worked at a snack shop. We're in bookstores. So my buddy would be like, listen, man, these books are expensive as fuck. This is what we're going to do. My shift is between
Starting point is 00:09:17 blah, blah, blah, and blah, blah, blah. Yeah. And you know, it's cold out. So he'd say, yo, bring your coats. It's going to be a heist. And yeah, so we would just take books. National Lampoon presents Ocean's Eleven right here. We would take books, especially the most expensive ones, the texts that we didn't want to, and then buy it and then pay for the smaller, the cheaper ones. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:38 In the other classes. But the science ones, we took a bunch of books because you can sell them back. Yeah, exactly. And you sell them back for decent money. No, you're fucking 18, and you're getting $300 at the end of the fucking year. You're like, word. So we would steal. And then here's another thing, I got to admit.
Starting point is 00:09:56 What we did, too, was we was like Operation Finals. I'd be great if this got darker and darker. Yeah, it's getting creepier and creepier. That's what I love about podcasts. Fuck it. Let me go for it. Let it all out. Operation finals exams, we would go to certain dorms or certain engineering spots and start
Starting point is 00:10:15 taking everybody's books. Especially some fuckers we didn't like. We'd go, all right. And we'd like calculus. The calculus book was always the best catch. all right and we like calculus the calculus book was always the best catch so we'd go yo we're gonna you know we come to certain like study areas and we start snatching people's shit everybody was doing it yeah we go to the to the uh to the merch like you know you got sweatshirts sure fighting on and my friend worked there and they had no cameras oh yeah they never had a
Starting point is 00:10:41 different time so we'd be like yo he and he'd go to the back yo i'm gonna go find that that size for you yeah just start right and he'd make sure we get stuff for them oh we were everybody was doing it yeah steal it the snack shop we had a snack shop we would go to yeah there was like now there's cameras now they got to go like pulp fiction they're like if any of you cocksuckers move i'll shoot every last one of you. And this is before Google, I imagine. So if you didn't have a calculus book, you didn't know calculus. You couldn't look it up anywhere. Isn't that crazy? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:13 And it was like it was addicting. I was getting good at stealing. I was like, man, I'm not even a thief, but I love stealing. It was like I love stealing. And then I had buddies that got into credit card shit. Oh, we did not even a thief, but I love stealing. It was like, I love stealing. And then I had buddies that got into credit card shit. Oh, we did that for a while. A lot of crime in college, man. In the frats, the fraternities.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Oh, yeah. Man, these motherfuckers. Because we, okay. In Illinois, we had the biggest fraternity and sorority system in the country. Were you a frat guy or not? No, I almost, my buddy was, my buddy Kyle, black dude, he joined a white fraternity, Kappa Sigma. And I remember moving him in, like,
Starting point is 00:11:51 this is my buddy from high school, and I was moving him in, like, moving him in. And the black fraternity dude saw me, the Omega, you ever heard of Omega, the Q-Dogs? Oh, yeah. That's Team Avenger the Nerds. Yeah, yeah. You ever see Stomp the Yard?

Starting point is 00:12:14 I go, oh, this is my buddy Kyle. He was one of those black dudes that didn't, he always hung around white guys. That was him. We call him one of the good ones. Me and Kyle were friends because that was my buddy because he related to me because i hung
Starting point is 00:12:31 out with everybody yeah you know i was always i went to a bunch of russians yeah on russians just free booze it's free booze and free food so i was because everybody i was fun to be courted oh it is but i was the black dude me and Kyle were the black dudes that people wanted in their fraternities right so they'd be like

Starting point is 00:17:19 Yeah. What? I think he's one of the greats, and I don't think he gets put up in the- He doesn't. He doesn't. And I think it's because- Comics do. We know he's one of the greats and I don't think he gets put up he doesn't he doesn't and it's I think it's because comics do
Starting point is 00:17:26 we know he's great yeah the problem is I thought we didn't have a chance to see him do specials we didn't have specials are what keep you
Starting point is 00:17:34 keep that's like your catalog like you see Carlin Carlin has like 13 specials yeah you know what I'm saying 18 it's something crazy
Starting point is 00:17:41 right crazy he was like the first I think Robert Klein or him were the first HBO guys. Yeah. And you got like Chris Rock. He has a catalog of specials, you know. Fortunately, we got this, you know, the Netflix thing when they're actually acting properly,
Starting point is 00:17:57 giving specials to the right. No, I'm saying. Yeah, Chappelle did what? Four in a year or something? He has a catalog. And I hope that specials are like his podcast he's like let me throw out another one here exactly it's amazing he just goes i want to do a special i think i need to talk to the gay community again
Starting point is 00:18:16 just another special i know this is gonna be part two of me not being homophobic chappelle can be in his fucking underwear in his bathroom and they're like this i'm doing one out the bathroom it's gonna be prolific the drop in a deuce tour yeah on the toilet everyone's like man that was brilliant chappelle can do whatever the fuck he wants i thought it was just gonna be a piss but it transitioned into a shit it was a six and a half hour shitty Brooke Dane Cooks record. But the hockey thing,
Starting point is 00:18:50 let me tell you, I looked it up because I'm, you know, me, I'm always like looking up like if black people
Starting point is 00:18:56 created shit to that because they'll be like this, this man created this. I go, hmm, my Malcolm X goes, I don't believe that shit.
Starting point is 00:19:04 I don't know why i had to do the malcolm x voice for the eddie murphy 80s voice i think you're lying man so i was like dude eddie murphy's dead on yeah it's but it's the eddie murphy that was like the loud black dude when eddie murphy did the loud black guy say it motherfucker you're right kiss your ass man i'm gonna whoop your ass. That's so good. It was so funny. That's like my childhood, so it just makes me feel good. I think about seeing the
Starting point is 00:19:31 Nutty Professor in the theater with my dad and never see my dad laugh that hard in my life. That's so great. Eddie Murphy, I think, deserved an Oscar for that movie. Because he played like 10 fucking people. And he didn't play like a cheap 10. Those characters have heart, man. He played like a fucking people. And he didn't play like a cheap 10. No. I'm like, those characters have like heart, man. They had heart.
Starting point is 00:19:47 He played like a mom with like a heart. Something about the industry, it must be something against the guy. Against comedy. It's comedy. It's comedy. That's unfair. They don't fuck with comedians at the Oscars. But that's so unfair because-
Starting point is 00:20:01 But he should have won for Dreamgirls. That was like a year. Yeah. I think there's a jealousy of actors are jealous of us i'm serious i think there's a jealousy of being able to make people laugh like that there's a jealousy we also live much more recklessly than actors no no but comedy's harder than that shit i'm not saying that what i'm saying is i think actors see that we can just be free like we can just do this shit right we're waiting for a script we're just making our shit yeah it's true they gotta blow each other be funny so badly though yeah it's like music it's like comedians that want to be
Starting point is 00:20:35 musicians and musicians want to be comedians right john mayer but i've never seen an actor on like a late night talk show you rarely like them more true. You see an actor on like Fallon or like whatever show and you rarely like them more. You like them more when they're the other person. And that must be fucked up. Like, yeah, you love me when I'm pretending only. But when an actor is funny. Now that goes a long way. Because John Malkovich, man.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Yeah. I mean, these are the best. Yeah. He's so damn funny because he knows everybody knows Malkovich for man. Yeah, he's a legend, though. His interviews are the best. Yeah. He's so damn funny because he knows, everybody knows Malkovich for his serious face. Right. Another Chicago guy. Ah.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Yeah, Steppenwolf. Brilliant actor. Steppenwolf Theater. Yeah. They like him for it because when he was on Conan, one of the funniest interviews. Really? I had never seen him on panel.
Starting point is 00:21:21 I never did either. Dude, I just re-watched Rounders. That's still a great movie. The Oreos? That's a great fucking movie. Great movie. His accent made me laugh, though. He goes, you have to make that money.
Starting point is 00:21:32 I need money. You better give money. That shit was so terrible. And after they wrapped that shit. Wow. He goes, I made money. You need to give money. That shit was making me laugh. That shit was hilarious, I made money. You made money. Shit was making me laugh.
Starting point is 00:21:46 That shit was hilarious. I love him. Kevin Spacey, also great on interviews. Yeah, he's very good. He can imitate people, too. Yeah, really funny guy. He can impersonate Kevin Pollak. Yes.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Kevin's a stand-up. Yeah, right. Keaton was a stand-up. Michael Keaton was a stand-up. Michael Keaton is great in everything. Yeah, Keaton's dope as fuck. What was I going to say? I just had, what was I talking about?
Starting point is 00:22:08 Uh-oh, hockey. No, no, no. Eddie Murphy. This happens a lot in this podcast. Oscar's the alcohol. Yeah, Malkovich. So Malkovich is talking to Conan, and Conan, to me, out of all of them, is my favorite.
Starting point is 00:22:19 And he's like this, and Conan's laughing, going, so you said you're really good at stuff. He goes, yes, I am. I'm amazing at leg wrestling. And Conan's like, what? Leg wrestling. No one's beaten me in leg wrestling. He goes, I would like to challenge you in leg wrestling, Conan.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Can we pull this up, Matt? Can you pull up the Malkovich leg wrestling? Leg wrestling, Conan. It's fucking hysterical. I missed that one. And everybody knows because people are intimidated by Malkovich. So he's just like, he uses that as the comedy. Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:50 He goes, I'm very good at, I would like to. Is that it? Yep. Wow. Leg wrestling. Wow. One, two. This is leg wrestling.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Three. Conan plays it up. That's a great host. Conan really is the best. He's fantastic. Yeah, but that's, Jamalkovich, he's a funny dude. Yeah, I like that.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Because he doesn't laugh and he just tells jokes. He's just being very funny with that facial expression. It's really cool. But I think people are jealous of comedians. But we do host all of it. I think that's why it's like Billy Crystal, Chris Rock.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Not anymore. They're kind of getting rid of that. Well, they're scared because of Gervais. Gervais scared everybody. Good for Gervais. I know. I love it. I think we can all agree he fucking killed it.
Starting point is 00:23:42 He murdered it. And because people are so fascinated with British accents, we're so amazed. Even when these British people aren't funny, we just think, and then, really? Yeah. It's like this.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Can you believe this? Obama? Really? You believe in God? It's like this. Yeah. So how about this? Fuck off.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Really? You are an incredible impressionist. You do incredible impressions that no one does. I don't even want to be known for that. No, you're not. No one calls you an impressionist, but you do incredible impressions. They're not bad. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:25:51 fuck with me hard whoa man i got stories michael richards would run remember when he snapped i heard you heckled him remember when he snapped remember when he snapped did the n words do we remember but i've seen that i've seen i think everyone remembers but i saw that that's what got me to comedy before he did that i saw him i heard he walks into canceled anonymous meetings like kramer i saw him do that to an old lady i was i was hosted at the laugh factory because i tapped on her yeah i i was hosted the laugh factory and this is when i was by coastal and um you were by i i i went i i he was on stage he gets on i bring him up ladies oh michael richard and people losing their shit because it's fucking kramer sure and. And he gets on stage doing that shit for like five minutes.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Everybody's like this. They're looking at him like, alright, motherfucker. And he runs into like the wall. He's like, whoa, whoa. Yeah. Everyone's like, get to the fucking joke. Because the applause was huge. And then they were like, alright, now.
Starting point is 00:27:04 That's the one thing I love about comedy. It's the equal joke. Yes. Because the applause was huge. And then they were like, all right, now. That's the one thing I love about comedy is the equalizer. Yes. Comedy becomes the celebrity. It's like, okay, great. Now, can you do the art form we're here for? Exactly. Well, he was a brilliant comic actor, but it doesn't necessarily translate to stand-up. Yeah, he was on a show called Fridays.
Starting point is 00:27:19 I remember that. Yeah, Fridays was a sketch comedy thing on ABC. And then he went into fucking seinfeld yeah yeah so and and he's in uhf too the weird out yeah yeah and then stand up man that's why i stand up that's why i'd love it i go stand up is so wonderful that it's going to filter the fuckers that aren't doing it right they're going it's going to get you tony wood said they the joke gods are going to get you, shall we?
Starting point is 00:27:47 The joke gods are going to get you. Another underrated guy. He'd be a good guest too because he'll put him back with us. Oh, yeah. You need to bring him on here. Bring him. I got his number.
Starting point is 00:27:55 He's fantastic. I love Tony. And so he's on there doing some weird shit and this old lady goes, you were better. You're funnier on Seinfeld. He goes,
Starting point is 00:28:07 you fucking bitch. You fucking, oh yeah, he snapped. Fucking losing his shit and he leaves. He just walks off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Walks off and they're like, God, you gotta come back in. You gotta come back in. I go, what the fuck happened? Wow.
Starting point is 00:28:19 He just fucking snapped and all you see is the mic just dangling, shaking. I go, give it up for Mr. Mike. They should bring back Seinfeld, but this time Kramer's got an anger problem. Right.
Starting point is 00:28:30 And Jerry's like, you gotta stop saying the N-word. You gotta stop. Little did Michael Richards know that old lady put a hex on him. Right, right, right. Years later. And what's funny is I was with Mike a week before he did the N-word rant. Sure. That was like the first taste of what has kind of come to be known as cancel culture.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Yeah, yeah. I was there. I was with this type of cancel culture. Of course. Yeah. And I was with him a week before he snapped. And then CNN called me. And I went on the Anderson Cooper show
Starting point is 00:29:06 but Anderson Cooper was on, he was on assignment. It was John Roberts who's on Fox now and he interviewed me and I was, it was me and him and I was on,
Starting point is 00:29:15 see, I've always wanted to be on a CNN desk and I was interviewing me about what do you think, why, Is Cooper cool? I never,
Starting point is 00:29:23 I didn't mean Cooper, it was John Roberts who was taking his spot. I meet cooper it was john roberts was taking his spot i wish i was hoping it was him i thought you meant you were doing a cooper interview on his job it was anderson cooper show but john was taking his place because he was on assignment wow i was like fuck but john roberts is pretty well known and so i was like he goes so what did you think about that i said i mean he snapped i've seen him snap on other people like that. He's called people cunts and all that. And he did that for shock value.
Starting point is 00:29:52 He's a really strange dude. He's really. Because when I would talk to him one time, he was sitting on the stairs. You know the stairs at the Laugh Factory? And I come around. He goes, hey, hey, I want to talk to you, man. I love your stage presence, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Wow. Oh, man, it's fucking great. I was like, thanks, man. I'm talking to him, but it was weird. Yeah, yeah. He's an odd guy. He's an odd motherfucker. He is.
Starting point is 00:30:16 So he doesn't know how to handle the stand-up world. He fucked up, but I know he's not going around hating black people. Right. No, no, no. A lot of these guys, I think it's a money grab you have the fame from elsewhere and your agents are like you can make a lot of money doing stand-up build an act sure but they don't really have the tools to do it so they don't have the humility to fail in this way they failed as actors of course i mean like no one can question his greatness as an actor but yeah it's a different type of failure
Starting point is 00:30:43 and you need humility and you have to have humility every day you got a bomb every show is different even though you know oh these jokes kill we don't know until you get on stage you really don't know until you go what's up everybody you don't know it's a risk every time it's a risk every time but you're like but i'm good enough where i've my my percentages it's, it's not really probability. Probability happens with these fucking bums that think they can just get up there and I'll just get drunk. Just fucking do it. There's a formula to this shit, motherfucker. There's a real formula because you've tested it all over the world.
Starting point is 00:31:19 And you go, I'm going to do this joke. Damn, it hit. There's a real fucking formula. The magic of stand-up too is you can have the words, the cadence the cadence the rhythm but it might not work in this room for some reason and you have to figure out why it's amazing it's a weird thing years you put in it you can go okay that didn't work watch me do this yes i've seen that you ever seen that you're you ever been on stage you go oh my god i'm experienced i actually did the joke didn't work but i was able to do that i called an audible fuck i was it does feel good i get surprised sometimes when
Starting point is 00:31:52 like a riff will work and then you're like oh yeah i've been doing this every night for a long i mean you finally got it it's muscle memory it's like you ever watching like walt frazier call game and a player's off he's like he's aiming his shot you're like yeah you're thinking about it just trust the repetition yeah trust the muscle memory yes you're gonna make it work if you just go it's even if you're even if you're bombing a couple riffs you're gonna get him eventually but that's from doing reps reps and you know in other communities what you have tips go on a lot that's it it's no magic trick no go on a lot a lot a lot you go fuck damn they're yo wow if i didn't have the reps i wouldn't have known what to do right with that it's like when i was in martial arts i did martial arts for 10 years out
Starting point is 00:32:35 here i did hop keto 10 years that's the steven seagal shit right that's almost it's a it's a cousin to steven seagal shit it's like all like grabbing wrists, bone breaking, all that shit. You can fight. You're in great shape. Listen. He can fight. No. Come on.
Starting point is 00:32:52 You're dressed like an out-of-work ninja. There's no way you can't fight. I've seen you kick. I've seen you move. You're in great shape. You're ripped. He shops at a store called Under Siege. And he's dressed like we're in a fucking cop movie together. You fuck everybody up you good yeah come on pick it up pick it up yeah
Starting point is 00:33:11 you gotta teach me your move yeah i i'd never tire those buddy cop movies i don't know me neither there's something about them like the two guys who can't get along yeah like whether it be rush hour or 48 hours as long as it's it's something about them like the two guys who can't get along like whether it be rush hour or 48 hours as long as it's it's all about the execution of the people in it
Starting point is 00:33:30 it's all about the people in it like Jeremy Piven he's been doing he's he's in the comedy world he calls me all the time he goes God
Starting point is 00:33:37 need some help gotta pick your brain it's so great that he calls you God and he's from Chicago Chicago guy too he's a theater guy from Chicago his mom created theater in Chicago and he's you god and he's from chicago yeah chicago guy too his theater guy from chicago his mom created theater in chicago and he's like this uh and i as soon as he became a comic i
Starting point is 00:33:51 became his friend yeah yeah he's like bro you got to do some cigars man gotta pick your brain you know and he's a really great actor yeah he's incredible yeah stand up he's getting there sure but it's like it's hard to start once you're famous it takes years i give him props for even doing this shit he's well don't you think he's making insane money on the road isn't that yeah they pack it up i give you props but also you know you're you're it's a it is a money grab too right comedy that's what i love about comedy because comedy shows up and goes you you didn't put your time in. Sure. And I'm going to let people know you haven't.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Yep. But he's acting like a comedian. Okay. He's such a good actor. He's acting like a comedian. It's not intrinsic yet. Interesting. It's more surfacy right now. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:34:38 It's like when an actor plays a comedian in a movie and you're like, I know you're a good actor. I know Dustin Hoffman's a brilliant actor. You're still an actor. You're still an yeah when he did lenny i um i did a uh indie film one time is elijah wood so i'm hanging out with elijah wood giving him tips it was in la it was i had a comic in it he's a comedian in it how many movies do they can make about like just cast a comic i don't know why they don't just play fucking we can play this is how much they're jealous of comedians they won't even let you play a comedian i'm telling you wow they're that jealous that they well i heard
Starting point is 00:35:16 do it because i heard they can feel the what it's like yeah there's rumors of marlon wayans playing prior though i've heard that forever is that to happen? I don't know if that's going to happen. I heard that, too. I think he would be good, actually, because- It's going to be Lenny Henry, I think. He's a British- No, the black people are playing us now. It's a-
Starting point is 00:35:35 Yeah, Idris Elba plays- Yeah, all black British people. Snowfall, black dude's British. Oh, really? Yeah, he's British. I was watching his interview. I love Idris Elba. I heard the new Western is great. I liked it. I liked it.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Is it good? Dion Cole's in it? It's very stylized, very Tarantino-esque. Idris Elba is... I mean, I love Luther. I think he's awesome. Yeah, he's awesome. But he plays American accents. Well, on The Office, he was hilarious. I mean, that's the thing, too. He gets comedy, too. He's subtle.
Starting point is 00:36:03 He gets it. Snowfall, snowfall. Didn't he used to work at the Dora Caroline's, Idris Elba? He did. What? Yeah, that's the thing too. He gets comedy too. He's subtle. He gets it. Snowfall, snowfall. Didn't he used to work at the door of Caroline's Idris Elba? He did. What? Yeah, he was tearing tickets. Is that right?

Starting point is 00:36:18 but I never met the guy. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, they're going to do a guy named Sir Lenny Henry. I guess he's he's a famous comedian guy and can i go to ire we got a photo they're considering him to do
Starting point is 00:36:33 richard prior which is that lenny henry this guy right here they want him to be richard prior i heard mike epps was in the running mike epps was supposed to be because mike called me to help him with inflections to help him with the prior voice yeah because i could do prior that's a game change you get that role that's a game change you have to do it right though you really do for sure you don't want to i mean i mean look what jamie foxx did with ray i mean that's like murdered ray like jamie foxx is a fucking great actor. He nailed it. Like perfect. Because he's a pianist, also trained. He can play piano so well. It's so annoyingly talented, that guy.
Starting point is 00:37:11 He's so good. Yeah, he's got it all. Prior, prior, that's going to be a, you got to really come with the fucking, there's layers to that shit. Because Nick Cannon wanted to do it. There's too many Jews on set. You can't focus you can't have you can't have a not good stand-up play prior you can have an actor you can have a bad stand-up but you gotta get
Starting point is 00:37:33 good point you got to get out you motherfuckers is crazy jack i don't give a fuck god damn is any casting people watching this shit that was dead on it's like you have to have the yeah man and i'm i'm just saying niggas niggas are fucked up man that you gotta wow it has to be levels has anybody seen you know you got to be able to and there's the breathing that's some funny shit this is good wow that's incredible mike called me because i thought he was about to do it and he said i mean i need like a voice, like a coach. Like, can you help me out? Because you can do them.
Starting point is 00:38:08 And I said, I was like, you got to pay me, motherfucker. I'm joking. But yeah. Even the hand movement is perfect. And then it went away. I don't know what's going on with it. Because the wife, the one wife, his wife that he married, he had eight different wives.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Yeah, the one with the short hair. Yeah, she's like hardcore i think jennifer she's like really kind of kind of guarding the fucking property right so it's kind of tough so i don't know it's going back and forth different people are trying to play them i don't know so much goes into these decisions but i mean there's a lot of fuck shit that goes on a lot of egos i think of course well they did a pull it up matt they did a sam kinnison movie and the and it looked it looked rough i mean i'm sure you could find the same i don't know if it got any play but there was a trailer for the sam kinnison guy matt matt are you there i was just watching sam kinnison like his first letterman appearance

And I remember he was the nicest dude. I remember his managers asked me, hey man, you're a big Jim Carrey fan. I say, fuck yeah. He goes, just trying to make sure that your style is not the same.
Starting point is 00:46:31 He said, I go, nah, I'm totally not. I go, he's but a big influence on me. He goes, we just want to check because we don't want same shit. And I respected that. Because we want to make sure everybody's doing it. That's why Harlan's so different than Jim. Right. Even though they're both Canadian. I go, no, I don't i don't so i i kind of just kind of underappreciated he really is i

Starting point is 00:51:42 there has leaked there's been some whack shit leaking into the cellar. Oh yeah. But, but it's still, it's still, it's still a good club. It's still good shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:52 There's still good. Even with issues, it's the best club. It's still the best club because of the hands on. Yeah. See, if, if Manny were there,
Starting point is 00:52:00 Liz is so on. Liz is so on shit too. And you need that. You need that kind of, you need on shit. Liz is more passionate about it. Noam is so on shit too. And you need that. You need that kind of, you need that shit. You need it. Because when Manny was here, alive. Manny, you've seen the photo of Manny? Yep. Noam's dad? Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:52:16 That dude didn't play. He was funny as shit. Noam is scary because Noam sounds like his father at times. Right. It's scary. Noam will be joking. I go, you're doing exactly like your father. He literally is his dad. Noam really, really cares.
Starting point is 00:52:31 No, he is a fuckhole. It's really, and he's a good man. He's a good man. I remember when the New York Times did that story on him, and they tried to peg him and stuff, and I was like, man. Yeah, it sucks. You don't know how good a dude this is. He's really a good dude.
Starting point is 00:52:43 He has his things where you're like, fucking Norm. Every person has their things. Everybody does. You're running a business, first of all. He is a good man. He's a very good dude. And he does right by the staff and by the comics. Yes, he pays the most.
Starting point is 00:52:56 And that's hard to do. Well, you like, his father ain't there. His pops didn't give a fuck how you felt. I remember his father would do this. If someone's on stage, him and Esty was speaking in Hebrew. They'd be like, and then Manny would go like this to me. Get the fucking cane. And you're like, get him off.
Starting point is 00:53:16 Whoa. Manny was funny, though. He had jokes. One line, Manny was fucking funny. Well, they said he would hold court. It was a Colin, Patrice, Apollo, and he was holding court. Do, they said he would hold court. Was it Colin, Patrice, DiPaolo? And he was holding court. Do you miss that time at the Cellar?
Starting point is 00:53:28 Yes. Do you miss like Patrice and Geraldo? Yes, Geraldo, Patrice, Burr, Voss. It was all of us, just all of us ripping on each other. Artie, Ian Edwards, Dina. It was all of us ripping each other to shreds. Yeah. Dogging each other. Jim Norton.
Starting point is 00:53:46 I mean, we'd be talking about politics and race and we'd be talking about real shit. Yeah. Because Geraldo was brilliant. He's a Harvard lawyer. Brilliant. Brilliant. Everybody was... Judah has a degree in film from NYU. So does
Starting point is 00:54:02 Attell. So does... I mean, I have a degree in psychology. I was, and we all, everybody could talk, you know? And he would bring politicians. We had politicians. Professional talkers. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Yes, he would bring politicians. Manny brought politicians to the table. I mean, like famous motherfuckers came to the table to talk to us. And he would take us to the Martin Luther King celebration. He was part of the core. He was part of the the manny's uh noam's dad was on the the board of the martin luther king foundation so we would go i met hank aaron lord bush yeah did hank aaron have the biggest hands
Starting point is 00:54:38 ever man hank was like how you doing i was like god damn all right all right p man fucking legend yeah so baseball is really like we've lost something great and i don't mean to sound like old america here but like baseball was so big and it's kind of it's lost a little bit well corporate it's corporate now and people don't stick and it's like football nobody sticks with their teams everybody goes where the money is which i don't blame them because football- But football, NFL is horribly run. It's horribly run. It's like no different than boxing.
Starting point is 00:55:09 It's just, but you go for the money, which I don't blame. I like Gruden. No, but when they, here's when you know the NFL really fucked up. They're literally
Starting point is 00:55:18 giving these players CTE. And I liked them too. Shit. That hurt, man. But you're giving these players CTE. You're killing them. They're getting blackouts.
Starting point is 00:55:28 There's no long-term health coverage. And then you're fucking getting mad at them for doing end zone dances. Like, are you fucking kidding me? Yeah. They're dancing. It's silly. What if he just got his CTE results? Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:55:42 I'm cleared. No memory loss. But the table was this bastion of thoughts and provoking and all that. And now it's so weird. Like, I said cunt at the table and somebody goes, whoa, watch the language. I'm like. Oh, we got to go. And it's not even like a PC thing or like whatever or offended thing.
Starting point is 00:56:00 It's like, what are you doing? We're talking. You're trying to talk about my wife. Yeah, exactly. And it's fucked up because what we used to do too man i man what we used to do too is like we'd go down like say vos goes down on stage and we'd all come down and stand in a doorway and wait for him to do some whack shit we go nah or we'd walk past to the bathroom and upon purpose to keep distracting keith would go maggie does that to me maggie still maggie does to me all the time well he'll see me on stage
Starting point is 00:56:30 and he'll keep doing this he'll do this he'll give me middle fingers yeah he kept us sharp we dogged each other we'd be like oh and when when norton would be like oh colin your cancer legs i'm sick of your cancer why are you crossing those cancer legs, you piece of shit? And Colin would be like, I'm finished. I'm fucking finished. It was great. It was great. It was almost like a ball team.
Starting point is 00:56:55 It was like a squad. We would disagree and shit would get heated. I remember, man, I remember this shit. 9-11. When 9-11 happened happened they had opened up after about a week they started opening we started doing shows
Starting point is 00:57:08 for the workers you know I did a theater where all the workers they were dusted they had the dust on them still we had to do shows
Starting point is 00:57:18 yeah man we had to do shows and I remember it was me Marin Chris Rock DePaulo how was this said
Starting point is 00:57:24 I gave it a ground zero. It was pretty bad. Corey Ellie. We all did a show, and I remember Mitch Fatel. Mitch Fatel went on stage and was doing his little boy shit. You know how he goes, oh, my God. Oh, my goodness. That shit.
Starting point is 00:57:40 And we were at the table, and we went upstairs, and we're at the table, and Mitch Fatel comes on stage and goes, hey, what's up the table. And we went upstairs. And we're at the table. And Mitch Fatale comes on stage and goes, hey, what's up, guys? And Mitch is cool. I'm like, hey, what's up? And Nick goes, really? That's what the fuck you doing on stage? Acting like a little fucking kid when people are fucking dead bodies and da-da-da-da?

You guys are like complimenting each other. This is weird.
Starting point is 00:58:50 Yeah, yeah, and it's like I don't like sitting at those tables really, depending on who it is. It's like you're afraid. I don't know who's going to take shit for. Right. Yeah, we used to shit on you. Like Patrice would be waiting like job of the hut he'd be sitting waiting and you'd see the waitress chain to his leg and he'd be sitting and you'd walk in
Starting point is 00:59:14 and he's just you're about to get you got to get fucked up i know and he'd be like yeah what the fuck are you wearing you know right and we but that's what we did well you kept each other in check now we talk about safe spaces and all that shit i'm like i'm scared of you i'm scared of you ratting me out or tweeting or whatever like you're scary yeah i'm just gonna say a offensive word or a joke yeah it's sad that's and that's what that's why a lot of the comedy for the ones that are all pc it's weak weak shit well it's important to have like i'm not saying that like we all need to be careless but like it's nice it's offensive it's nice having anything goes table yeah it's nice to have like
Starting point is 00:59:55 one place you know you can kind of just say anything you can take risks that are that are never malicious but are you know that might walk a line of indecency. Yes. There's something exciting about that. Right. Even in a prohibition-type vibe that exists. Yes. If we lose it everywhere, if we lose it even at a comedy club, then it's just lost.
Starting point is 01:00:18 Yes. It's lost. Exactly. It's not fun. And people say, how is this affecting you on stage? I go, what? I'm like, I haven't changed shit. Same here.
Starting point is 01:00:27 I'm not calling people the F word. I'm still doing those jokes. But I'm, and it's nothing wrong with, okay, you know what? Instead of there, I'll tweak it and go here. That's cool, but I'm not losing the integrity of the joke. I'm going in. Exactly. I'm going in.
Starting point is 01:00:43 I did LGBT shit all day this weekend i was doing lgbi's like i have this joke where i go the lgbtq they're bored they're bored because gay my gay friends gay people like to be noticed let's be real the culture is very it's flashy it's very flashy it's very very like, hey, I'm here.

Starting point is 01:01:54 And it's also not even, you're kind of criticizing from within. You're not saying, I don't like you. You're saying, here's a funny observation. Right. I mean, that's it, right? If they want to be normalized, okay, we should be able to make fun of you now. Yeah. Aha.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Yes. You're welcome to society. Right, right. But you got to make up your mind, your special interest when you get to the fucking comedy club, but then you want to be normalized outside. That's not how it works. Can't have it both ways. We get jokes from normalized society.
Starting point is 01:02:23 Right. That's what we get. We get jokes from the society right we get we get jokes from the life we live yeah so you if you want to be treated like human beings i should be able to joke about you from a good place but there's a lot of funny shit in the gay community because gay people make fun of it yes when when it's a form of welcoming right when uh miran goes yes bitch yes yo suck a dick and it's hilarious great can you do can you do me and normand can you do impressions of us i did i did one oh i only go pick it up pick it up that's all i do right pick it up pick it up hey pick it up you know that and

I think I had i think i had more we had a lot of fear mark oh yeah we definitely yeah i think i think there there's a lacking of that uh there's an entitlement now there needs it's entitlement because and that's just how i feel like rap music it's just a lot of bums on a microphone yeah there's a lot of them women and
Starting point is 01:08:24 men and there's a lot of foreigners that because hey i'm from tibet i'm going to be a comedian get the fuck out of here you know what i mean i'm tibetan and then some dude named yeah that's a special get the fuck out of here but you can't even blame them because they go on tiktok or whatever and they make a million views but the the art form is hard man yes and it takes years it's hard man i'm a funny dude you guys are probably naturally funny like me i was a funny naturally funny guy but the craft i said whoa whoa it's a different thing there's the craft motherfucker how do i take this raw shit and technolize it and make it technical? How do I, boom, and not just- Well, the way you're funny to your friends
Starting point is 01:09:07 is different than the way you're funny to a room full of strangers. You have to hone that. You have to hone it to where you look like you're funny to your friends again. There you go, to strangers. You know what I mean? You want to just be like, yo, man, you just up there.
Starting point is 01:09:18 I go, I'm just up there. This is thousands of hours of just- Yes, trial and error, trial and error and error trial and error it's no different than martial arts i remember when we would do martial arts at the beginning you're doing all these dumb ass punches and shit hundreds of them right you're like what the fuck is this for five ten years later you're like you're like and you're like oh right it's automatic oh it made oh i see what a comedy it's like limb dick pussy yeah yeah oh yeah cobra kai but it's automatic. Oh, I see why. But in comedy, it's like limb dick, pussy. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:46 Oh, yeah. Cobra Kai. But it's fundamentals. It's like I watch MMA, and they just look like they're fucking throwing up, but it's all technique. It's years of that technique, years of that way they grab. They have to do that over and over and over. Even if you watch SportsCenter, you're like, that's a skill they acquired. They're making this look easy.
Starting point is 01:10:06 So you think you could just be like, next, coming up. That's a skill. Yes, yes. Catching the football, throwing the football, the basketball, the shots,
Starting point is 01:10:14 the going on. You know how many times they've done that? Didn't Kyrie Irving put English on a ball? Yeah. That goes in because he practiced that. He practiced that. He spit it for him
Starting point is 01:10:24 the way it hits off the Tim Duncan when he would do that bass line off the back I loved him it was nasty I love Tim Duncan so much it's done thousands of times and comedy to me is a sport
Starting point is 01:10:39 it's physical you gotta get up there you gotta show up to practice it's no different than sports you're a sports guy we're sports people you have to get up there you got to show up to practice it's no different than sports you're a sports guy we're sports people you have to show up some of these motherfuckers think they're magical yeah like they're just gonna get lucky because they're just so quirky and just smarter than the fuck i didn't write any jokes but i put on this sweater and i feel pretty good about it right i don't know it takes a lot of effort to be effortless yeah it's real shit and it's like It takes a lot of effort to be effortless.
Starting point is 01:11:03 Yeah, it's real shit. And it's like, and like I said, I don't know every comment. I don't care. But that never changes the fundamental. And I remember I was having a conversation with Sam Jay. And she was getting her, she was drinking a couple drinks. She likes to put them back. And she was like, she goes, I'm telling you, Godfrey, watch. There's going to be a comedian.
Starting point is 01:11:23 Watch. And that may be not our generation that's going to be able to skip the fundamental process. Uh-uh. That ain't going to change. Nobody's going to skip. I think she's right. I mean, like, with all of you. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:11:35 As far as being good at comedy, I didn't say. Fame-wise, they'll skip. But not skill-wise. I'm not talking about. Right. Skill-wise. I'm not talking about getting on a TV show. But that's the difference in sports.
Starting point is 01:11:44 A fucking five-year-old can get on a TV show. There's no basketball player where you're like, he's good on TikTok, so we're going to sign him with a 10-day contract. She said that they're going to be able to skip levels because of, I said. Well, they won't skip levels. They just won't be good.
Starting point is 01:11:59 I mean, that's. But she said they're going to be good. You do have to put the work in. She said they're going to be good without the hours. I go, Sam, it's not going to happen. gonna happen it's not gonna happen i'm telling you and i'm telling you um i was a funny guy before this shit i was funny just a funny motherfucker but i had to work hard to get an act i had to work your road dog and you're also a dude when i go to clubs and i'm not blowing smoke up your ass here but like that's but you're doing that when i play clubs i will the staff will be

You're like, God damn. Yeah, I just, I mean, what I do, you know, what I do, one of the things I do in comedy shit with cities, I go, I Google when they were established. Ooh.

And I, but I do this joke where I go, Baltimore, say 80% black, but named after a white man with a cape. It's like, Lord Baltimore. And everyone's like, yeah, that's true, man. I said, imagine if he came back
Starting point is 01:14:00 to see what happened to his city. And they fucking die. And he says, and he says, sire, Sire, you have to come back. Look at your city. What do you mean? And he's like, oh, my God. Oh, black people are going up. See, you built a whole little world out of that.
Starting point is 01:14:16 What just happened? And then people are like, yo, man, who the fuck are you? Coming on after Game of Thrones. What do you mean? And there's just ways just to come at different angles. I mean, sometimes Google, Google the city, Google some shit. For sure. They fucking, when you do that, they go, oh shit.
Starting point is 01:14:33 You put a little effort into the show. Put a little effort. Make it a little special. It goes a long way, man. What are your favorite cities to play other than like New York, Chicago? You know what's weird? I like, because if you're funny, it don't matter. Yeah. What is it to you? Cities are like, I just like being here. I love Houston. Houston. You know what's weird? I like, because if you're funny, it don't matter. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:45 What is it to you? Cities are like, I just like being here. I love Houston. Yeah, Houston's great. I love Texas cities. I love doing Texas. Me too.
Starting point is 01:14:52 Texas, they- Dallas and Austin are pretty great. I love San Antonio. San Antonio's great. Texas loves performances. They're not too Southern and they're not,
Starting point is 01:15:03 it's not too hickish and it's kind of a mixture of international and that Southern feel. Houston has got all the Vietnamese now. Very diverse. Very neutral. And a lot of stuff has come out of Texas which people don't understand. Whole Foods
Starting point is 01:15:17 started in Austin. Whoa. Austin, Texas started Whole Foods. The Wilson Brothers. Jamie Foxx. Jamie Foxx. And also fucking Six Flags. It was Texas. A lot of stuff started in Texas, which you think, what? Yeah. Didn't start in New York.

Starting point is 01:15:47 Well, JFK ended in Texas. But we're going to get away. Brassy Noel. You know what I mean? I've been to that museum, actually. And I was like, I don't think he shot him from there. Nah, the book depository. That's bullshit.
Starting point is 01:16:02 I think it's bullshit. Because I was like, how the fuck he get? Anyway, how the fuck his head go back like that i think it was in the car bro interesting i think it was from the car or something because it was just it was just i mean it's a very it's mysterious but i was looking and i go that just didn't look right i just didn't look what a weird president to just be banging like hot actress chicks They were mad. Can you picture Biden banging Emma Stone? It's fucking weird. He'd be fucking Betty White or something. To him, that's still young.
Starting point is 01:16:34 My Biden's not too bad. Folks, listen, folks, folks, we have to- Marilyn Monroe? But listen, he was banging Monroe. Yeah. That was Joe DiMaggio's woman. That was DiMaggio's girl. You don't fuck with a Yankee Clipper, baby.
