Ep 267: Godfrey & Gary Vider

Godfrey crashes the studio alongside Gary Vider. The guys go deep on comedy history, wild impression stories, getting fired, almost getting SNL, bombing charity gigs, surviving COVID shows, and why reps matter more than prestige. Godfrey breaks down his rise on social, iconic roles like Zoolander and Soul Plane, and his brand-new stand-up special Rebel With A Cause, now playing in movie theaters nationwide. Plus, racial comedy debates, theater vs club money, old-school legends, and absolute chaos throughout.

• 0:06Mark Normand?

  Hey everybody, we're here. This is it. We might be drunk, baby.

• 0:11Sam Morril?

  What's up, guys?

• 0:12Mark Normand?

  Uh, hey.

• 0:13Sam Morril?

  And gals.

• 0:15Mark Normand?

  And gals. We're trying to be more women-friendly.

• 0:17Sam Morril?

  We need more women fans.

• 0:18Mark Normand?

  Well, Chelsea Handler didn't help, but we're trying. Lord knows we're trying. Uh, she was cool.

• 0:26Sam Morril?

  I liked her.

• 0:26Mark Normand?

  Still, um, bangable.

• 0:29Sam Morril?

  Yeah, I'd say.

• 0:31Mark Normand?

  Is that a compliment?

• 0:32Sam Morril?

  Yes.

• 0:33Mark Normand?

  Okay, thank you.

• 0:34Sam Morril?

  I think the way you worded it probably wasn't ideal.

• 0:36Mark Normand?

  Well, female compliments are weird.

• 0:37Sam Morril?

  It's like referring to a woman's vagina as pussy.

• 0:39Mark Normand?

  Ah.

• 0:40Sam Morril?

  It's like, I don't think they love the word, but bangable's a compliment.

• 0:43Mark Normand?

  Right.

• 0:43Sam Morril?

  If a woman told me I was bangable, I'd be like, "Thank you."

• 0:46Mark Normand?

  Of course, but I think it's different for a woman.

• 0:47Sam Morril?

  Probably.

• 0:48Mark Normand?

  You know, uh, isn't it weird that during sex you can say mean things to women? But not before sex?

• 0:55Sam Morril?

  Yeah, they kinda have to prompt it, though. You can't out of nowhere just be like, "You whore."

• 1:00Mark Normand?

  That's true.

• 1:00Sam Morril?

  They have to be like, they have to get the wheels in motion a little.

• 1:05Mark Normand?

  But then sometimes girls are like, "I don't want to tell you what to do, because then it ruins it."

• 1:09Sam Morril?

  And then you take some liberties, and now you have a restraining order. Thanks.

• 1:12Mark Normand?

  There you go.

• 1:13Sam Morril?

  Ridiculous.

• 1:14Mark Normand?

  Story my life.

• 1:15Sam Morril?

  Sorry.

• 1:15Mark Normand?

  I know.

• 1:16Sam Morril?

  Sorry I slut-shamed you.

• 1:18Mark Normand?

  I tried.

• 1:18Sam Morril?

  I was in character.

• 1:21Mark Normand?

  And seen. Alright, well, there you go. But I could see her being pretty wild in the sex.

• 1:29Sam Morril?

  What, uh, what's new, man?

• 1:31Mark Normand?

  Uh, same old. The wife's out of town, so I've been watching movies at home. I got the whole TV to myself.

• 1:37Sam Morril?

  What are you watching?

• 1:38Mark Normand?

  I watched Jeremiah Johnson last night.

• 1:40Sam Morril?

  I know the meme, but I've never seen... It's Redford.

• 1:43Mark Normand?

  Redford? Sidney Pollack directed it.

• 1:45Sam Morril?

  Ooh, I love Sidney Pollack.

• 1:46Mark Normand?

  John Milius wrote it. He wrote, I mean, this is Apocalypse Now, this is, uh, Conan, Red Dawn. He's like a real man.

• 1:53Sam Morril?

  Did he write Letterman?

• 1:55Mark Normand?

  Who?

• 1:55Sam Morril?

  No, I was kidding. It was a late-night joke. Anyway, yeah, no, I heard it's good.

• 2:00Mark Normand?

  Oh, it's fun. It's super fun. It's about, based on a real guy.

• 2:03Sam Morril?

  Yeah.

• 2:03Mark Normand?

  Uh, named John Liver-Eaten Johnson, or something like that, and he would eat, uh, the Indians, like Native Americans' liver after he killed them. So that's a wild movie.

• 2:13Sam Morril?

  It's good not to waste. You gotta eat the whole Indian, I've always said.

• 2:16Mark Normand?

  Eat the whole Indian, exactly.

• 2:18Sam Morril?

  You don't want to be wasteful. Yeah, I've never seen it.

• 2:21Mark Normand?

  Oh, it's great. I've never seen it either, but it's killer.

• 2:23Sam Morril?

  You know what I watched the other day? My buddy Alex English tells me to watch.

• 2:27Speaker 02

  I love, that's an underrated comedian right there.

• 2:29Sam Morril?

  I love Alex.

• 2:29Speaker 02

  Killer comic.

• 2:30Sam Morril?

  We gotta get him in here.

  Love Alex.

  Who's one of your best friends? Oh, he's a great actor.

• 2:59Speaker 02

  He was just in my podcast.

• 3:00Sam Morril?

  Oh, nice.

• 3:00Speaker 02

  Oh, sorry. Yeah, Wood, oh, Wood is my buddy buddy, like. Yeah, I just was on the phone with him like a couple of days ago.

• 3:13Sam Morril?

  Yeah, he's a great actor.

• 3:14Speaker 02

  Yeah, he's great.

• 3:15Sam Morril?

  The Wire?

• 3:16Speaker 02

  The Wire is the best show on HBO.

• 3:19Sam Morril?

  Ever?

• 3:20Speaker 02

  Man.

• 3:21Sam Morril?

  It's probably my number two.

• 3:22Speaker 02

  When you.

• 3:22Sam Morril?

  I might, I might go Sopranos one.

• 3:24Speaker 02

  Well, no, yeah, no, I gave you, yeah, that it's.

• 3:27Sam Morril?

  I love The Wire.

• 3:28Speaker 02

  No, no, no, listen, Soprano, Soprano's lasted longer, didn't it? I think so, yeah.

• 3:32Sam Morril?

  But Sopranos is more comedy, so for rewatch.

• 3:35Speaker 02

  Just as good.

• 3:35Sam Morril?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 3:36Speaker 02

  They're two different types, but it's still about crime and.

• 3:39Sam Morril?

  Yeah.

• 3:39Speaker 02

  Sure. But it's both equal, no, you're right. I didn't even realize it was HBO, what's that? Oh yeah, HBO had a run. But then it moved to, Sopranos moved to another channel. No, no, it was all HBO. Yeah, yeah.

• 3:51Sam Morril?

  They had a run, man.

• 3:52Speaker 02

  No, I mean, it was, oh, Gandolfini. First of all, Harry Spears does the best. It's crazy.

• 3:58Sam Morril?

  Can we pull it up?

• 3:59Speaker 02

  I've never seen anybody do a Gandolfini. Me and him do Jason Statham versus.

• 4:04Sam Morril?

  Can you do Gandolfini?

• 4:05Speaker 02

  No.

Segura and his shit, Rogan and his shit. It hasn't, we haven't been, been, been moved around and bossed around by the fucking network. You know, we're just doing it. We're sick of waiting for them. Let's do it ourselves. And we did, Schultz was the same, one of the same guy. I remember him first saying it, we gotta start counting on ourselves.

Hey, what's up, Tom and Jimmy in the morning. I hate all that shit. So, I was like, uh, I was like, ah, all right, what time? Oh, what about 12 o'clock? I think I could do that, right? Okay. So it was for a urban view. It's like Al Sharpton's on that station and it's like gospel. It's like conservative black people.

• 8:26Speaker 02

  I said, well, I'm not conservative. Um, I talk shit. So, uh, what's up? And she goes, no, we need, you know, our channel's a little boring. We want, it's her name, I'm not gonna name her name. Fuck that bitch.

  Well, now it's, now it's fucking Howard Stern, Baba Booey and a Kerrig in that fucking office.

• 8:43Speaker 02

  Yeah, that's it. Stern is the reason why it's still floating, you know?

• 8:46Sam Morril?

  Yeah.

• 8:46Speaker 02

  Um, and I was doing stuff for Stern, little like, he does these little, like, sketch things. And so I was doing some voice stuff for him. It was dumb, but anyway. Doing that and so I um along with this show I was doing so at twelve o'clock I got an hour show. And it was power hour and I just brought some of my comic friends on talking shit, but it started doing well. And you know, I had little, you know, the thing you answer calls and shit.

• 9:24Mark Normand?

  Yeah.

• 9:24Speaker 02

  So I went in doing my shit. Uh, I had different people on. I had Method Man on my shit. Vivica, I had all kinds of people coming through, right? Cuz they use it when they were promoting shit.

• 9:35Mark Normand?

  Right.

• 9:35Speaker 02

  Our show's doing pretty good.

• 9:37Mark Normand?

  Yeah, we're sick of sway.

• 9:41Mark Normand?

  Charlamagne, don't get me started.

• 9:44Speaker 02

  And then bam, they hey, you want two hours now cuz people say you need longer than you need more than. It's like one of your sets.

• 9:54Speaker 02

  Hell, yeah, only fifteen minutes. Sure. If I go last, I'm doing thirty. Fuck that. If I gotta watch the circus go by, guess what? Fuck that shit.

• 10:03Mark Normand?

  Yeah, you're able to.

• 10:04Speaker 02

  Hey, there's a juggler before you, Godfrey. All right, motherfucker. That's another forty-five. You know, no, fuck that. So um, so uh, yeah, so I got two hours, right? It was six to eight. You know, I said, I think I could do that. That's like prime time. So I got moved to six to eight. I started doing really well again, you know, and then all of a sudden, all of a sudden I started getting hounded by them. Oh, you can't see this. I go, oh, man, fuck. And then I got fired one day cuz I said something crazy. What'd you say? I said something about it was um, I was in DC. I went to the Sirius XM um, the big studio, their main. It's unbelievable. It's beautiful. So I was like, you know what? I'm gonna do some cross promoting since I'm doing a DC improv.

• 10:45Mark Normand?

  Yeah.

• 10:46Speaker 02

  I'm gonna go, I wanna go buy the studio.

• 10:48Mark Normand?

  Was fired from when he where he hosted the Godfrey Complex on Urban View Channel. It doesn't say why. Oh, the truck driver and a fan approached Godfrey for a photo at the headquarters.

• 10:58Speaker 02

  The headquarters in the lobby, yeah.

• 10:59Mark Normand?

  Oh, and you said no photos were allowed.

• 11:02Speaker 02

  The dude at the desk was like a gay dude who was transitioning like, I know he had makeup and like, no, a dude, black dude. And he was like, but he was rude. He was like this, uh-uh, nope, no, no photos. You can't have a photo. You know, like Shanaynay.

• 11:16Sam Morril?

  I can't tell which side he's transitioning to. I had that impression.

• 11:19Speaker 02

  It's like this. You can't have found out. I was like this. And it was just me and him in the lobby. She was, I go, the guy is a subscriber. Yeah. Truck drivers are what keeps, um, Sirius XM going. Exactly. He's a subscriber. The guy just was nice. He was an older man, like, he said, my kids love you, da, da, da. And she, ah, you can't. I said, man, you're kind of rude, dude. Like, relax, like, there's no one here. Yeah, who cares? It was the weirdest exchange.

• 11:46Sam Morril?

  And God was like, so I beat the shit out of her. And they fired me.

• 11:49Speaker 02

  Hell, no, him. He still had the strength.

• 11:53Speaker 02

  So, no, I, uh, so I went to Laura Coats, who's, um, one of the main anchors on CNN now. She's a lawyer. She's badass lawyer, Laura Coats. Okay. She's the shit. And she, I went on, yeah, her. Oh, yeah. I went, I went on her show and, you know, I was, because I was cross promoting. So I woke up really early to do these different shows just to talk, you know, get on her show, get on. So I went on her show and I, she goes, yo, what's, what, you seem a little like disturbed. I said, yeah, because people know I talk shit. I talk shit. I would say, I would love to smack the shit out of this person, blah, blah, blah. Right. So I say, yo, this dude downstairs, he like, um, you know, he kind of stopped me from giving a guy a picture.

• 12:34Speaker 02

  He was like, he was, I guess he was part of the LGBT community and he was, he was real rude to me. He was just like rude. So I imitate people anyway. Ah-ha. So he was like, and I imitated exactly what he said. He goes, nah, no pictures. There's no pictures. Yeah. And he was so rude and he had these braids and I wanted to take him by his braids and drag him out and throw him out the, throw him out the door. And then that's what got me fired. What? I didn't say, none of that shit. Right. No. Ah. I don't care if you're gay, but he was just rude. Yeah. But they love to put, because you're gay, you, it, it has nothing to do with your character. Right. You know what I mean? Of course, he's just rude. But they like to combine it. Yes. You know what I mean?

• 13:15Sam Morril?

  And by the way, braids is not male or female. That could be either gender, right?

• 13:18Speaker 02

  What's funny is. They like to combine it when it's convenient. Right. Because if I were to say, I don't like gays, oh, that has nothing to do with my character. Oh. Then they want to be human after. They go back and forth. They volley with the shit. Welcome to the white man's burden. We've been dealing with this for years.

• 13:36Sam Morril?

  Which is, by the way, the name of our podcast, The White Man's Burden. Remember that movie?

• 13:41Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 13:41Sam Morril?

  John Travolta?

• 13:42Speaker 02

  That's a fucking great scene.

• 14:31Speaker 02

  That was great. That scene, but it was.

• 14:33Sam Morril?

  I was hooking up with a girl once while that scene came on, and she's like, let's fuck. And I was like, now we gotta finish the scene.

• 14:38Speaker 02

  Hold on, hold on.

• 14:39Sam Morril?

  I can't be, I can't fuck you.

• 14:40Speaker 02

  You have it in and wait, and then you start pumping.

• 14:43Sam Morril?

  This is a sodomy scene. I can't get in the mood to this. I need, I need the redemption.

• 14:47Speaker 02

  And you have a sword over your bed.

• 14:50Sam Morril?

  I'm choosing lubes like the way Bruce Willis is choosing weapons.

  With dildos, vibrators.

• 14:56Speaker 02

  Oh, my God, that woman in that scene, the next scene, like, they didn't have the pancakes.

• 15:01Speaker 02

  How you like me to chop your fucking, yeah, that's my, that was my friend. Whoa. Pete Green was a fan of mine. How did he pass away? I don't know, man. He's an old school New York dude, like, really old school. Usual suspects, too. Oh, that's right. Pete Green, let me tell you, one of the nicest human beings.

• 17:48Speaker 02

  you know when they the Asians would die in those movies

• 17:56Speaker 02

  what about SNH

• 18:01Speaker 02

  I remember, this is when I knew it was getting crazy, when Dane Cook this is when Dane was in his really, that era of when he was really like unbearable. This is not me knocking him, he's alright now, but I knew Dane, I knew Dane when he was at the Cellar, man. When he'd come to Cellar from Boston and be like you know

• 18:19Sam Morril?

  Right.

• 18:21Speaker 02

  I knew him when he was with Barry Katz.

• 18:23Sam Morril?

  Right.

• 18:23Speaker 02

  Come here, what's up, bro? You know, that type shit. And so so when he got to a certain level, cause he was one of the, was that my name?

• 18:31Sam Morril?

  I believe it is, you're blowing up.

• 18:33Speaker 02

  No, no, that's, I needed to silence.

• 18:35Sam Morril?

  Dane Cook going, shut the fuck up, dude.

• 18:37Speaker 02

  Dude, I heard you, bro. I got this new film.

• 18:40Sam Morril?

  No, I remember we did the half hour in the tank top, I'm like, he didn't have one friend be like

• 18:44Speaker 02

  I ain't gonna lie though, that shit was funny though.

• 18:46Sam Morril?

  No, no, it was very funny, but the tank top was so bold.

• 18:49Speaker 02

  It was bold and he turned, remember he went to the camera?

• 18:53Sam Morril?

  No, it was a good half hour.

• 18:54Speaker 02

  It was so, I was like, who is this motherfucker?

• 18:56Sam Morril?

  It was different, for sure.

• 18:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, that was great, yeah, that was, he made me laugh.

• 19:01Sam Morril?

  I think sleeves are a good idea for a special, though. Just my opinion.

• 19:04Speaker 02

  He was really funny and dope as hell, and I give him his props, but it was a period where he doesn't, he was, he didn't really speak to a lot of us anymore. He was, even though he took the, he had that tour with Goldman.

• 19:16Sam Morril?

  Yep.

• 19:17Speaker 02

  And

• 19:17Sam Morril?

  Bobby.

• 19:18Speaker 02

  Robbie, and those are the guys he came up with.

• 19:20Sam Morril?

  Yeah.

• 19:20Speaker 02

  You know Al Del Benny?

• 19:21Sam Morril?

  Oh, yeah.

• 19:22Speaker 02

  He was, it was Al Del Benny and the Monkees, that was a improv group in Boston. It was Robert Kelly, Al Del Benny, Dane Cook, it was all, and they were all together in Boston.

• 19:32Sam Morril?

  Yeah.

• 19:33Speaker 02

  And so, after he got to a certain level, I mean, and this is not me not containing it all, just, I just noticed they weren't speaking with each other. It just wasn't, you know, it is what it is, but, um, what the fuck was I gonna say? Oh, yeah, I remember he told me, he goes, he goes, I don't understand why you're not on SNL. That was like But even he said it. And then I did it again, twenty years later. But he even said it, and you know, and he's a guy that could do a lot of stuff too. But yeah, I've been, I've been asked that and I go, yeah, I tried, I tried out. Did I tell you that audition? Yeah, but it's a great story. I was on Norton's, I was on Norton's podcast last, two weeks ago, we're gonna have, and I'd said, I auditioned for it. And it was me, Kevin James. Wow.

• 22:32Sam Morril?

  She crushes in everything.

• 22:34Speaker 02

  And then, and then just imagine her complaining about shit. And she's that.

  We get it, Monique.

• 22:45Mark Normand?

  That dumps it up.

• 22:46Sam Morril?

  I remember, I remember like she was great in every little part. And then she got that role in Doubt and I was like, oh, this cast is insane. It was like, it was like her, Meryl Streep.

  It was the Eddie Murphy show for us. It was Eddie Murphy, Joe Piscopo, of course. And it was just like, it was Eddie Murphy, fuck, man. And I was like, I have a chance to do SNL. This is insane. So I'm fucking nervous as fuck. But then I go in and I murder and it made me more nervous. I was like, oh, fuck. I get off stage, my manager was like, we didn't know you were gonna do that well. Holy shit. And I didn't, and after that I didn't get, because when I did the Johnny Carson, that shit went. They were like, what the fuck? And, uh, it was at the Comic Strip.

• 24:26Mark Normand?

  That's crazy.

• 24:27Speaker 02

  No, they didn't give you a reason or anything? What did he say? There was no reason? No, I didn't get shit. I just didn't get anywhere. I was like, oh, I guess that's how it's. So you think about it. You're just like, all right. And then you see the people who made it. You're like, oh, I guess that's how it goes.

• 24:42Mark Normand?

  Look at the draw. That's the industry back then. He had no control. You you can kill and still get nothing.

• 24:46Speaker 02

  But then Darryl Hammond.

  What's up, man?

• 25:14Speaker 02

  I just treated you like a dog. I was like, right here.

• 25:20Speaker 02

  So I'm in the middle of my shit now, as I was saying. Yeah. Oh, no, I was like, uh, Darryl Hammond comes up to me a few years later with the selling, because I, Darryl only talked to me and a few, Darryl only talks to a lot of people.

  Mm-hmm.

• 25:32Speaker 02

  You know, Darryl always dressed in black.

  You know, and.

• 25:54Mark Normand?

  Well, he was dark. He was like a crackhead for a while, lived in a alcoholic.

• 25:58Speaker 02

  Having problems. It was a lot, but he would always talk to me.

• 26:01Mark Normand?

  Hmm.

• 26:01Speaker 02

  And he would go, he goes, hey, he sat next to me at the bar, you know, he says, man, I've been wanting to tell you this for a long time, man. I know, like, what? Like, he goes, he goes, man, I I remember your audition on, uh, in the comic strip. I said, what? He's like, I was there. I was sitting right next to Lauren and all the producers. I was sitting right there, right next to him. I was watching and you know, you leveled the place. No one could follow you. It was, it was over. And he goes, it was a, it was a no brainer, but I knew you weren't gonna get it.

• 26:30Mark Normand?

  Hmm.

• 26:31Speaker 02

  I just, I knew you weren't gonna get it. And I said, well, why? You know, he goes, well, he's saying, man, you would have been too strong for. You would have been, you would have been too strong for the show, would have, that's what he told me. You would have been too strong for the show, he saw what Eddie. To my accent, she's like, your dick is too big. It's like, I understand. I don't wanna fuck you every, every episode, it's not right. You're like, Daryl, that's dope. You take all the pussy, and that's not right. Basically, you'd get all the ass. Right. Just keep it real, you got free. Come on, this is a white man talking. We're tired of it, and we're feeling insufficient. God damn it. Even if you were a eunuch, we still would believe you had a big. But, yeah, um, that was what he told me. He said, I just wanted to give you some closure, cuz I thought it was unfair.

• 27:15Speaker 02

  And I said, oh shit, well, that's cool. It's nice to have closure, but you're still like, damn, that fucking sucks. I'm, I just wanna do well, and do, take over a show. What is that? Like, hey, give me a script. They were scared it was gonna be like ISO ball, and you weren't gonna like share, that's, that's weird. He said, he's told me honestly, he's, I'm being honest, I'm on the show. So I'm on the show, and I'm a straight, white, male, blah, blah, blah, I'm telling you the truth. And I appreciated that. But then I did his podcast, right, Hammond had a podcast for me. And he goes, I say, were you lying, goes, telling you the truth, man. I was like, just wanted to check. Yeah. You know, but yeah, and then I did a table read with Colin Quinn. Colin calls me, right? He goes, hey, I need you, uh.

Wow. Damn. I, I had no other. You got out of it. That's killer. You pulled it out. You pulled a Hail Mary. That was, yeah, yeah. So, yeah. So where was I? Wait, wait, I want to hear about the, the Dr. Phil Trump. Oh, wait, but first, the, the table read. Oh, sorry, Quinn. Table read, right? So this lady comes up to me. Blonde lady comes up to me, said, "We're taking a break, right, to get into water." "Who are you? Who are you? Like, what are you?" I said, "I'm Colin's friend." She was reading, table read.

• 37:56Speaker 02

  I didn't know who she was. It was Calvin Klein's daughter, Marcy Klein. Ooh. Who is, who ran SNL. Yeah. I was like, "Yeah, let's show her." Marcy Warner was the combo. Sorry. Right, right. No, Marcy Warner, yeah. Yeah, her. So she comes to me, "Hey, who are you?" I go, "I'm just, uh, reading with Colin Quinn, just reading, helping him read out." She goes, "I just saw you transition from accent to accent with just ease." "What the, what's your name?"

• 38:19Sam Morril?

  I'm seeing a transition that could some Sirius XM front desk.

• 38:24Speaker 02

  So I got her. She said, "I need your information, dah dah dah." I was like, "Oh, I didn't know who's..." And Colin's like, "Dude, she never does that." "That's, that's fucking great. That's amazing." I go, "All right." So I went to, I went to my, I was with William Morris at the time. And I say, "Hey," I told them, they was like, "Marcy, you get the fuck out of here." I go, "No." "Marcy Klein, she's talking, I was doing a read, SNL." She goes, "That might be your in right there. Are you fucking kidding me?" I go, "Yeah." Boom, nothing happened. He got them, nothing. It was all just radio silence. Damn. Darryl was probably right this whole time. But I didn't, I didn't, I was just going there for a table read. Damn. Yeah.

• 39:05Speaker 03

  Do they never, they audition people twice ever? Like they'll have...

• 39:09Speaker 02

  Some people have gone like... Melissa Villasenor went three times. Three times? She, I knew, I worked with her in Montreal. She tried out three times.

• 39:18Speaker 03

  Cause in the business, I always find that to be the craziest thing. Like when they say, "Oh, I don't want this pilot." But it's like, you made it to like so, you so far in the line.

• 39:26Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 39:26Speaker 03

  And then they say, "No," it's like, "How about a rewrite again?"

• 39:28Speaker 02

  Yeah. If I made it to like second, if I made it to like callbacks, then you got, might have a reason to go, "You know what? Let me, let me come back." But I didn't even get to that. Yeah. You understand? Didn't get to that. And then Jamie Masada calls me, you know, you know Jamie Masada? Sure, Laugh Factory. He goes, "You know, I could do Jamie, right?"

• 39:48Speaker 02

  He's a Persian, Persian. He goes, hey buddy, listen, I have, I want, I have good comedy. We see SNL coming to La Factory. I need you, buddy, to come audition for La Factory. He said, no, you can do it. I know you can get it. I said, Jamie, I'm not doing that. I, I'm not, they don't fuck with me. I don't. He goes, what are you talking about? Fuck, you fucking, you're the best. You do so characters, voice, everything. You have to come, buddy. I, I fly you out, no problem. I said, no, I'm not doing it. I'm not fucking with doing it. He's like, I'm, it's, you have to come. They gave it to Finesse Mitchell that year. Oh. I wasn't going to audition. I already got, you know, it's already like, beat a dead horse. Sure. I get it. I got the message. I'm like, yeah. I know, but if Finesse can get it, come on.

• 40:32Speaker 02

  You could have been in there.

• 40:34Speaker 03

  They want somebody.

• 40:36Speaker 02

  Well, hey, I'm just saying, I ain't saying nothing about anybody. I'm joking, Finesse. No, but it is good for them guys. They got it, but I just, they weren't fucking with me. It is what it is. Yeah. It's like a chick, man. She don't like you, motherfucker. And you're better off. You couldn't barely get up at noon for Sirius. You can't go to SNL all morning, all night. You made your own thing. You made your own thing. Yeah. I made my own, yeah, that's just to say I made my own thing. And it's, it's paid off. I didn't know what was gonna happen. I just said, it's COVID. And you know who I was listening to? Damon Dash. You know Damon Dash? Sure. Producer. I, I was watching him on his live on time. I was like, what the fuck am I gonna do during COVID? And he was talking his shit. You know, Dave Dash was like, yo, you know what I'm gonna do? He's like, this is the time where, where artists, all artists, you should be doing shit.

• 41:21Speaker 02

  You should be fucking creating, man. Cause nobody's doing anything. If you ain't an artist doing something on these fucking social media, you're a fucking dumbass. And I said, he's right. And I just took it and started, I started doing sketches with like King Batch and all these big creators and shit, these social media creators. I just said, let me get out of my own way and just do it with these guys and fuck it. And it worked. Yeah. It fucking worked. You gotta get out of your own ego, man. Yeah. You gotta get, if, if, if things aren't happening, cause I wasn't. We didn't get bitter. What? You didn't get bitter. No, I was like, don't get bitter, get better. So, that's from Wallow. Wallow and.

• 41:59Speaker 03

  And he didn't take a break for two years either.

• 42:01Speaker 02

  No, put on the gas. I took no breaks. I was doing the, the virtual comedy with Ben Glebe and those guys. I was doing Nowhere, NowhereComedyClub.com. I was doing gigs in nursing homes and, you know, I had COVID at the time, but I don't give a fuck. I was doing parking lots. Yeah. Where they honk the horn.

• 42:19Sam Morril?

  Oh, yeah.

• 42:20Speaker 02

  But the No- the Nowhere Comedy Club, the digital, I made money off that shit. Damn. You could, because you could book.

• 42:26Sam Morril?

  Yeah, you can make.

• 42:27Speaker 02

  The seating is, is unlimited because it's fucking. Right, right. So.

• 42:31Sam Morril?

  Because it's horrible.

• 42:32Speaker 02

  Right, right. It's like, but you have your little laptop, you hear people going, ha, ha. And you, and.

• 42:39Sam Morril?

  I saw one guy put a gun in his mouth during one of my jokes, like, don't do it.

• 42:43Speaker 02

  I did one with Jeffrey Toobin, it was crazy. So it was, yeah, so that worked. Um, it worked, the money, I was getting some money, you know, every couple of weeks.

• 42:53Sam Morril?

  How depressing was that though?

• 42:54Speaker 02

  A couple thousand dollars.

• 42:55Sam Morril?

  You're going to work on a fucking laptop, though. It's like.

• 42:57Speaker 02

  But you're in a work.

• 42:58Sam Morril?

  Even remote work for like real jobs.

• 42:59Speaker 02

  Shorts on a fake mic going. And you put a fucking dumb sheet to make it, it's just, it was embarrassing, but I was, hey, I was getting some money from that. Yeah. I was surviving. It was something. And then just, yeah, doing, so this, this is what, this is what it's come to, so it's, I'm glad I did it, you know what I'm saying? Had to do it. I mean, I remember doing those parking lot shows, cars would honk as a laugh, and if you really killed, you got the wipers. Yeah, yeah. Because they.

• 43:25Sam Morril?

  The car that had the radio station.

• 43:27Speaker 02

  It was like a drive-in. Exactly. They connected the sound. Exactly. And it was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If it didn't look like a, sound like a traffic jam, you were bombing. Yeah.

• 43:36Sam Morril?

  Dystopian end of a movie before you commit suicide. It's so sad.

• 43:39Speaker 02

  Horrible, horrible.

• 43:40Sam Morril?

  This is my fucking job now?

• 43:41Speaker 02

  Well, we created, we were doing rooftops, right? Yeah. Or the truck with Michael Che. Oh, I did that, yeah. That was fun.

• 43:48Sam Morril?

  Matt Rife had that show in LA, too, in the back of the truck.

• 43:50Speaker 02

  We were, we were survive, man, we did our thing, man. We're cockroaches. I did.

• 43:54Sam Morril?

  We are cockroaches.

• 43:55Speaker 02

  When I did fucking Las Vegas, uh, Laugh Factory, you talk about weird, shit, I met Rich Little. Jesus Christ. Rich Little was doing a show, we were doing COVID shows. This is Gary Little.

• 44:08Speaker 02

  There was only 25. You can only do 25 people in the room. So there's 25 people six feet away.

• 44:15Sam Morril?

  25 people, 800 seater. Great idea.

• 44:17Speaker 02

  No, yeah, yeah, like a 300. 25 people, six feet away. It was the weirdest shit and Vegas was shut down.

• 44:26Sam Morril?

  Yep.

• 44:27Speaker 02

  It was the barely lights on.

• 44:28Sam Morril?

  Vegas hasn't come, really come back.

• 44:30Speaker 02

  No.

• 44:30Sam Morril?

  And I'm sure some of it is online betting too.

• 44:32Speaker 02

  It was desolate, bro. It was like, and I was doing, and Rich Little Show was before mine. I go, are you fucking kidding me, Rich Little? He goes, yeah, you want to go see? I go, yeah. I go see him. He's 82. I go, and he's still doing Carson and all like Reagan, Will, hey, I told, I was like, he's doing old shit.

• 44:48Sam Morril?

  Lauren's like, you got SNL. That's a good Carson right there.

• 44:51Speaker 02

  And then I met him, because I had to, you know, you gotta go and change, like, you know, whatever, when, you know, when you come in, that person leaves and you get the green room. He took a picture of me. I never, I grew up on Rich Little.

• 45:02Sam Morril?

  Sure.

• 45:03Speaker 02

  And I met him. He, how many presidents has he?

• 45:05Sam Morril?

  Oh, my God. Yeah.

• 45:07Speaker 02

  He's 82 and he's still, he was very nice. He's eight, but he was still like, I talked, he was still like concerned about how he did.

• 45:14Sam Morril?

  Oh.

• 45:15Speaker 02

  And he was like, he was telling his manager, we gotta sharpen up the, uh, we gotta sharpen up the, uh, the Reagan. I didn't really like the,

• 45:21Sam Morril?

  The Reagan?

• 45:22Speaker 02

  He was still, no, he was still in that mold though.

• 45:25Sam Morril?

  I loved that. London G, uh, London B Johnson back.

• 45:29Speaker 02

  My Abe Lincoln, little off.

• 45:31Speaker 03

  No matter, no matter how long, like, uh, you're doing comedy, if you take a little time off, or in that case pandemic is like, you're taking a, almost like a year off. You're not really getting up. You just feel the need, like, how am I, like, you feel awkward up on stage.

• 45:42Speaker 02

  Really tripped out.

• 45:43Speaker 03

  So him though, somebody that old, just coming, like, doing it here and there, I can only feel like you're not doing well, no matter what. Because you're not feeling like you're yourself.

• 45:51Sam Morril?

  Yeah, right.

• 45:52Speaker 03

  Even if you have a regular.

• 45:52Speaker 02

  All his friends are gone. Like, pretty much gone.

• 45:56Sam Morril?

  Yeah.

• 45:56Speaker 02

  Unless he calls Dick Van Dyke.

• 45:59Sam Morril?

  If you, if you're that old during COVID, doing stand up, you're like, oh, this is like a health risk, maybe.

• 46:03Speaker 02

  Right.

• 46:04Sam Morril?

  Yeah, true.

• 46:10Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mic drop, for real, right?

  Quince. Getting dressed for the fall should be easy. A good sweater, pants that fit, a jacket that keeps you warm. Somehow buying those three things can cost you more than your vacation. Quince makes high-quality staples using premium materials like 100% Mongolian cashmere. That's a good cashmere, I guess. Organic cotton, merino wool. You know I love merino wool.

• 52:18Mark Normand?

  That's the best wool.

• 52:19Sam Morril?

  That's that wool keeps your feet nice and warm in the winter.

• 52:22Mark Normand?

  Very nice.

• 52:22Sam Morril?

  Love merino wool. Their cashmere sweaters start at $60.00. That's wild. They also have premium down jackets, classic wool outerwear for when the temperature drops. Everything at Quince is priced 50% to 80% less than similar brands. They work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middlemen. So you're paying for quality instead of the brand markup. That's right, no kid labor, I would, I think. Sounds like no kid labor. Is it ethical, right? Uh, no animal testing, probably ethical.

• 52:49Speaker 02

  Very good.

• 52:50Sam Morril?

  I, I wear their shit all the time.

I did exactly what he did. He goes, okay, I'll see you next week. Jesus. And then I said, oh, but first, I have a friend named Judah Friedlander who's been in your movies, like Meet the Fox. He's always in your movies. Do you have a part for him? Whoa. And that's how he got in. He plays Vince Vaughn.

• 54:40Sam Morril?

  You asked for Judah to be in?

• 54:41Speaker 02

  Yeah. Wait, he's in that?

• 54:42Sam Morril?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 54:43Speaker 03

  He's a brother.

• 54:43Sam Morril?

  He's a brother.

• 54:44Speaker 02

  He's a brother, the coal miner. He's doing this. That's right. When it was Vince Vaughn.

• 54:48Sam Morril?

  Wow.

• 54:48Speaker 02

  You think you're better than us? Oh, shit. I forgot about that. So I asked, I said, I said, yeah. I said, hey, do you have a part for, do you have a part for Judah? I like doing that shit.

• 54:59Speaker 03

  That's amazing.

• 55:00Speaker 02

  That's great.

• 55:00Speaker 03

  And Judah was great in Meet the Parents, you remember?

• 55:02Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, he was great. He's great in that movie. Yeah, yeah.

• 55:06Sam Morril?

  We got moms.

• 55:07Speaker 02

  He's also in that movie with Paul Giamatti. That's the American. American Splendor. Amazing movie. Yeah. He's great in it. He's great, so I, um, and so I asked, um, yeah, do you have Judah? He goes, oh, you know what? I never, I said, yeah, I should see if you got a part for him. That's a heat check. And Judah goes, Judah goes, dude, thanks a lot, man. Yo, Ben Stiller just called me, man. He's gonna be, we're gonna be, I'm gonna be in the movie with you, bro. Damn. So Judah got in, cause I, I'm always, I was around, I was always around Judah a lot. I did it in Joker. I was like, this guy Joaquin Phoenix, you should look at him.

• 55:47Speaker 02

  It's not a big deal. And you know, his brother's a psychologist. His brother's a therapist. No, I didn't know that. Judah's brother, you see his brother looks just like him, but no beard. But he's a therapist. He's gonna hang out with us.

• 55:57Speaker 03

  My therapist showed up and it was Judah.

• 55:59Speaker 02

  Judah wears a mask now on stage. Judah got a mask. I'm like, come on, Judah, stop. Judah's so fucking funny. I love Judah, so. Oh, he's a killer comic.

• 56:08Speaker 03

  That black and white special was killer, that one they put out.

• 56:11Speaker 02

  Judah's amazing. And How to Beat Up Anybody, his book? Yeah, yeah. Just really goofy. He's just great. He's one of my favorites. And, and so, yeah, so after that, when the DVD came out, there's a, you know, you know, there's a director's, like, commentary?

• 56:26Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 56:27Speaker 02

  So Ben Stiller, Ben Stiller is talking about me and Judah saying that we were roommates. Hey, those guys are roommates, you know? I loved what they did. They're roommates. So we were like, all right, we weren't roommates. Right. But he hooked, I hooked, I'm glad he got in. That's the type of shit I do, though. That's great. And I go, hey, you got any other parts for people?

• 56:48Speaker 03

  We were, we were talking about how, cause apparently they don't want callbacks in movies anymore. Like that's the thing, people can't have, pay attention. But Zoolander has a classic callback with Blue Steel.

• 56:56Sam Morril?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. For attention now. They don't want, cause people like on their phones, it's like, well then, you're just making a shittier movie.

• 57:03Speaker 02

  How sad is that? That's why no one's going to see these movies.

• 57:06Speaker 03

  Right.

• 57:07Speaker 02

  That's why these, these comedies are trash. Trash. That's why people rather, rather watch Golden Girls than a lot of this fuck shit that's on. Yeah. Because when you wa, when I watch All in the Family, sometimes I'll watch old, and I go, god damn, this was brilliant. Yeah. Carol O'Connor? Yeah. The levels that he took bigotry to? I know. And you still liked him? You loved him.

• 57:27Sam Morril?

  Yeah.

• 57:28Speaker 02

  Was, that's just serious, serious fucking skills. Yeah. Like, and he, in his interview, I watch a lot of old interviews, he goes, you know, I'm not, I'm not really, I'm not, I'm not like that. I'm not that guy. But I'm glad people, but I wanted people to make sure they separated me from that, cause I'm not that, I'm not a bigot like that. Yeah, thank god.

• 57:47Sam Morril?

  No, he was like, I'm actually that racist.

• 57:49Speaker 02

  That day when he goes, Jesus, Edith, the colors are coming again, man. But Archie, you can't say nothing. It's gold. Oh, come on, idiots. You know, that, just phenomenal.

• 58:00Sam Morril?

  It's a brilliant show.

• 58:00Speaker 02

  That's one thing I think we've lost. Like, you know, people are like, oh, crowds are so sensitive. Oh, we need to bring that back. We need to bring back the idea that you can say something and not mean it. That's where people have lost, we've lost that. Racial shit. Yes. Done smartly, not hacky, cause there's hacky racial shit. Of course. You ever see hacky, you go, can you, even though it's like, I know it's racist, but can you do it better? Yeah, right. Can you update your race?

• 58:22Sam Morril?

  Sounds like, it's like cheap violence. You're like, earn it, man.

• 58:25Speaker 02

  Earn it. Like, if you're gonna do something racial, do it in a funny, like, there's a Daniel Tosh joke that I love, and I did a lot of shows with Daniel Tosh. Love Tosh. He don't talk to everybody. No. He talked to me, though.

• 58:36Sam Morril?

  Is Tosh doing the show? What happened with that?

• 58:38Speaker 02

  Tosh is awesome. Tough nut to crack. I love, what I look, what I like about him, he's a family guy, he just goes about his business. He always showed me, like, was it just, we always talked to him, you know? And he goes, there's something about those guys that don't talk to people, but they always talk to me. Yeah. A tell, the tell would call me, and be like, he's like, I got a line for you.

• 58:59Speaker 02

  He would give me punch, like punch ups. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, Tell would do a lot of shit like that for me. He's the man. You know what I mean, but it's nice when you get respected by these certain people. I don't ask for it, I just, you know, um, but Tosh did a joke about black people, which is so great. He goes, he goes, you know, I'm gonna tell you, black people, you guys, you guys are the most talented. You're fucking the best, you're smart, you're innovative. I mean, Jesus Christ, you guys are the trendsetters. The slavery thing, I don't know how we got away with that. The slavery thing, oh. How did we pull that off? How did we pull, it's so good, but that's how you do it. Right, right. That's how you do it, like when Louis CK does the, that's how you do it.

• 59:43Sam Morril?

  Yeah, Louis bit about the, like, I'm not saying, I'm not saying white people the best, but being white is clearly the best. That's a great Louis bit.

• 59:49Speaker 02

  How you do it, man. Yes. It's comedy. There's still a turn, there's a punch.

• 59:53Sam Morril?

  We feel there's, there's an honesty to it and it's not cheap.

• 59:56Speaker 02

  It's honesty and it's real. Put, put the art in it, man. Yes. Put the art in it. But I think people miss that.

• 1:00:02Sam Morril?

  We also feel that he honed that joke, like that didn't, maybe it didn't come out perfect. And he had to figure it out and you respect that.

• 1:00:08Speaker 02

  You figure it out because it's a tight fucking situation to be in. Sure. And he, I do racial shit.

• 1:00:13Speaker 03

  Now you don't get a chance to figure it out.

• 1:00:15Speaker 02

  That's what I'm saying, we've lost that part. I got racial shit that I wanna do about white, but I wanna make it creative. Yeah, make it a joke. Okay, okay, we got that, but motherfuckers are here for comedy. It's not fair that I can't be Malcolm X. No, you gotta be Dick Gregory or Carl or something, you know what I mean? Craft the joke. Yes. We get it, white people, all right.

• 1:00:37Sam Morril?

  That would be a good, that'd be a funny character though, the comic who does it with no punchlines.

• 1:00:41Speaker 02

  Be like this, and white folks ain't shit. Good night.

• 1:00:46Speaker 02

  Give it up for my man.

• 1:00:51Speaker 02

  That would be funny. And I'm just saying, I'll fuck a white girl over revenge. Peace.

• 1:01:00Speaker 02

  Give it up for my man. Yeah, my man, the one, the militant one.

• 1:01:04Mark Normand?

  Yeah.

• 1:01:06Mark Normand?

  Follow me on Instagram.

• 1:01:08Speaker 02

  Yeah, man, that's all I tell any comic, whether it was, even if, even Nick DiPaolo is racist. Funny as fuck though.

• 1:01:16Mark Normand?

  So funny.

• 1:01:16Speaker 02

  Such great crafted jokes. I used to be in the audience laughing. He goes, I love it when God frees in the audience. That damn boss. I would, because I would come down to watch, because he would get so angry, but he was still so funny.

• 1:01:30Mark Normand?

  He's got one of my favorite Jew jokes of all time. He goes, I was in the classifieds trying to buy a car. I called a guy up. I said, hey, I want to buy your car. The guy goes, come over. And he goes, all right, I'm going to negotiate with this guy. I'm going to really, you know, work him down. Guy answers the door. It's a Hasidic Jew. He goes, oh, I didn't know I was dealing with a black belt.

• 1:01:48Speaker 02

  That's funny. That's how you do it. You misdirect, different words. That's how you fucking do it, man. No matter what your mentality is, you do it.

• 1:01:58Speaker 03

  We get the intent. The intent is to make people laugh.

• 1:02:00Speaker 02

  Put the art there. Don't go, oh, man, is this sensitive? No, you're not doing the joke right, brother. It's not about sensitivity. Do it crafted. Trick us.

• 1:02:08Sam Morril?

  Nick had that joke about checking into a hotel. There was a shit in his toilet. And he called the front desk. He goes, you know, most hotels leave a mint on your pillow.

• 1:02:16Sam Morril?

  You guys are really going the extra mile here.

• 1:02:19Speaker 02

  That's fucking brilliant. He's a really great comedian. And I don't, I don't like when he gets, I hate when he goes so far.

• 1:02:27Sam Morril?

  Yeah, when he goes a little, he goes a little far sometimes.

• 1:02:29Speaker 02

  I go, dude, you were hired by Chris Rock.

• 1:02:31Mark Normand?

  Right, right.

• 1:02:33Speaker 02

  You know, and I was one of your favorite guys. We taught, it's like, I mentioned, why? Like, fuck with you, dog.

• 1:02:40Sam Morril?

  Because you know, because you know he has it in him. So when he goes lazy, when he just opens the set like Kamala Harris, you fucking cunt. You're like, no, that's not the joke. It's not the joke.

• 1:02:49Speaker 02

  Yeah, I get it.

• 1:02:50Mark Normand?

  Anybody can do that.

• 1:02:50Speaker 02

  Yeah, anybody. Everybody slips.

• 1:02:52Sam Morril?

  Yeah, I'm with you.

• 1:02:53Speaker 02

  But you're so good. You're so quick. And I really, and I'm a fan of Nick DiPaolo. It's sad because like, now he's in Georgia.

• 1:02:59Mark Normand?

  I know, I know.

• 1:03:00Speaker 02

  And he's just, I go.

• 1:03:01Sam Morril?

  That's not going to help things.

• 1:03:03Speaker 02

  Yeah, and Nick, you don't, you look Arabic anyway. Relax, you're kinda swarthy. Yeah, he's a Guinea. Yeah, you're very olive. You're right. Very olive complected. Stay out of the sun. You better have a parasol. Yeah. They're gonna figure you out. It's gonna color my pants. But it's, you know. He's a beast. I like, I like Nick. But just to the crowds, you want, let us get there. We'll get there. Just let us get there. Cause I think they hear buzzwords and stuff. And we all are responsible for that. We're all, we're comedians and people of different races come and see me. So how am I gonna do this Klan joke? And, you know, how am I gonna do it properly? Right. You know, and I say, I say, well, I think the Klan, you guys gotta get better uniforms. Geez, are you serious? Really? A sheet? Can we go couture?

• 1:03:47Speaker 02

  I was like, I wish KKK was black. You need a gay guy.

• 1:03:51Speaker 03

  Part of it also is the crowds have gotten, they're, I mean, in Manhattan, they're younger. They're, I mean, we've gotten older, I guess, but also it's like they're a little younger.

• 1:03:58Speaker 02

  I'm gonna fuck 'em.

• 1:03:59Speaker 03

  They're experiencing comedy for the first time.

• 1:04:01Speaker 02

  Yeah, but, but here's the thing though, too, where comedy is an older person's sport. Because when you, you ever, you ever do a college and then there's a kid that's from the college who's gonna open up for you? And they don't relate? Cause they don't have enough experience. You have to have done that already. And then you bring it back. Because I'm, I'm a college grad, so I know about college. So when I do college shit, they go, fuck, yeah. Cause I know it already. It's a weird thing. Comedy's a thing where, to me, comedy's a thing where you have to know something first, then you come back and tell it. You know what I mean? Because people your age don't, they don't respect you. They're not respecting your authority. First of all, they're just like, you know, your friend's like, yeah, my friend, he's afraid he's just starting to do comedy. Right. Your friend's like, yeah, Brett, woo, yeah.

• 1:04:44Speaker 03

  Yeah, where it's like you're 20 and then your friends are 20 in the crowd.

• 1:04:47Speaker 02

  There's no, there's no, there's no separation of authority. Right. There's no respect of the craft. If you're like 30 something at a college, they're like. Oh shit, this guy has something over, there's a, there's a respect, I'm telling you, it's like a dog. Audiences are like dogs, they can smell, they can smell and it can dominate you.

• 1:05:05Speaker 03

  I remember watching Louie back, like this, I guess this is pre, maybe even pre Lucky Louie. But he was, uh, what was bef- what was first, Lucky Louie?

• 1:05:12Speaker 02

  Lucky Louie.

• 1:05:13Speaker 03

  Yeah, Lucky Louie. And then, uh, you know, he's talking about his kids and stuff and you're just like, you relate it, you didn't relate, but like you, this to me was the funniest thing ever.

• 1:05:20Speaker 02

  Right.

• 1:05:21Speaker 03

  Even though I didn't have kids.

• 1:05:22Speaker 02

  This is what I'm saying, comedy is a, is an art form of experience. Sure. And, and none, it doesn't matter how old you are, I see old Ted, you know, um, uh, god damn it, Tim Reed, no, not Tim Reed, shit. Oh god, it was Ted, it was, he did a biracial comedy duo in the seventies.

• 1:05:39Speaker 03

  Oh, uh, yeah, yeah.

• 1:05:41Speaker 02

  Oh god.

• 1:05:42Speaker 03

  Tom Dreeson and the other guy.

• 1:05:43Speaker 02

  Tom Dreeson from Chicago.

• 1:05:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:05:45Speaker 02

  I grew up watching Tom Dreeson on commercials in Chicago. Oh, wow. So Tom Dreeson.

• 1:05:49Speaker 03

  I've been in biracial, be careful there, buddy.

• 1:05:50Speaker 02

  No, no, they were the first, it was Tim and Tom, they would, they did, they were in the seventies. Oh, really? See that? That was Tim Reed from WKRP. Uh huh. Tim Reed and they were the first, like, biracial duo, he told, I've sit, I sit with him all the time, he, cause he's from Chicago. And he raised money for his, I think his sister passed away from this disease, so he had this big, big, um, fundraiser in Chicago, so we knew him for that. Oh, that guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was on, uh, sitcoms. He's eighty something years old now. Wow. Yeah, he came to my show in Virginia with his wife who played the second Aunt Viv on, uh, Oh, yeah. Yeah, so Tim Reed is great, he came and saw, watched my show, uh, and so, Tom Dreeson does comedy at the Laugh Factory.

• 1:06:35Speaker 03

  Open for Sinatra forever.

• 1:06:37Speaker 02

  That's right. And he's funny, he's, but his jokes are well-written, it's still funny. Yeah. But he's, what, eighty maybe? Oh, yeah. But why are we still laughing? Because it's a, it's, it, comedy is a, is a, is an experience thing. You have to have a little more information than the people, you know what I mean? Or as much information, that's all it's about. Because if you have information about being a teenager, you're gonna fucking make them laugh. Right. Cause they go. Because they're really going, yeah, yeah, because it happened to me already.

• 1:07:08Mark Normand?

  Exactly. I did it in college once. I was talking about a shitty job I had. They never had jobs. So I was eating shit. Then I had to be like, that guy's a virgin. And then they're like,

• 1:07:17Mark Normand?

  that was my like ripcord.

• 1:07:19Speaker 02

  Right, right. So that's, that's, that's where I think it comes from. So. You're from Nebraska originally, right? I was born in Nebraska. We were just in Omaha, I think.

• 1:07:27Mark Normand?

  Is that right?

• 1:07:27Speaker 02

  I was born in Lincoln, Nebraska.

• 1:07:29Mark Normand?

  They pushed your black ass out of there.

• 1:07:32Speaker 02

  My parents left, but Nigeria to Nebraska.

• 1:07:36Mark Normand?

  Damn.

• 1:07:37Speaker 03

  That's crazy.

• 1:07:38Speaker 02

  My father.

• 1:07:38Speaker 03

  How'd you end, how'd you end up there, though?

• 1:07:40Speaker 02

  Connect flight, probably.

• 1:07:43Speaker 02

  My father was, my father was, uh, my father was, uh, at a, uh, teach, an educate, teacher's school, Dana College, which was outside of Lincoln. My father was there at, and my father used to always tell me about Dana College. Dana College? I was like, University of Nebraska, cornhuskers? What are you talking about? He's like, no, I went to a school, Dana College, blah, blah, blah. I said, and then one day I finally did Omaha Funny Bone. Funny Bone in.

• 1:08:09Mark Normand?

  Sure, great club.

• 1:08:10Speaker 02

  I, right, and I'd never been to Nebraska. This was like three, four years ago.

• 1:08:13Mark Normand?

  Wow.

• 1:08:14Speaker 02

  And I'm like, okay. And so I was like, oh shit. So I'm on stage, having fun. And they go, you guys have heard about Dana College? Dana College? I was like, oh shit, I thought it was bullshit. He's like, no, it's kind of defunct and it turned into Midwestern University. And I don't think they use the campus anymore. This is my father, this is a late 60s, early 70s dude. So I was like, uh, um, so I go, and this dude goes, hey man, I could take you to that place where your father went to school. I could take you if you want to go. I go, yeah. So he fucking takes me. It's like a good, almost two hours. It's like Field of Dreams. Field of Dreams. Build it and they will come. And just to, my, oh, you got, oh, wow. Dana College, fuck, that's where my dad went. And what's really fucking crazy. Oh shit.

• 1:08:59Speaker 02

  There it is. And the fact that my father coming straight from Nigeria to this fucking bumblefuck town. Yeah. And imagine. Crazy. So I wouldn't be here doing a podcast or standup comedy if my dad didn't do this shit. I I really look at it going, it fucked me up. I go, my father came. He was, he had a job. He had a job in Omaha, you know, washing dishes and shit to to pay for his school. Like he was, he would tell me the stories like I'd be so tired driving from Omaha to Lincoln. Mm hmm. You know, and you know, you're the only like black family and his next door neighbors were from India. So they were like the immigrants. Shit. So. This is your sitcom. Yeah, right. I wouldn't be here. Yeah. Calling me to do a cornrows.

• 1:09:44Speaker 02

  Right. That's the title. That's a good one. All right, sorry. And by the way, by, you writing it? No. Nah. And and and also, my parents left from civil war. They were trying to murder my parents' tribe. So it was called Biafra War. It's very famous. Even my my um, my old manager knew about the Biafra War. My old manager was one of the smartest men I ever met in my life, well read. Um, he he was like, yeah, Biafra War, explain the whole thing. A little Jewish man explains the whole thing. I go, damn. He goes to Ibo tribe, which I am Ibo tribe, and Ibos are also Jewish too, by the way, just like you in West Africa. So they have yamakas and they go, hello, my friend, how about you? Oh, yeah. We hire other people to fight the wars.

• 1:10:28Speaker 02

  So we are brothers, brother. That's a lot of foreskin.

• 1:10:34Speaker 02

  So, yeah, um, that's they came from war. They were, you know, and my parents, they made it. And then Chicago, I don't I don't know anything about Nebraska. My brother's born in Chicago, me, my sister's born in Nigeria. So it was one of those things, very immigranty. Hell, yeah. And I would not be here doing any of this shit if it weren't for them. So. Damn. Why'd he pick Nebraska? Just the school, because he had a scholarship. Oh, right. Like he had to scol- something, you know, teacher's college. So my father was an educator in Chicago for forty five years. So. Wow. Yeah, yeah. My mother was an Obi-Gani nurse, just like. She met, they met uh. In Nigeria. Wow, well, top that, Gary. Let's hear your life story, huh? Top that.

• 1:11:14Speaker 02

  Well, my dad. Black Panther. Then I became T'Challa.

• 1:11:22Speaker 03

  It's unbelievable. No, you can't top that.

• 1:11:24Speaker 02

  You can't?

• 1:11:25Speaker 03

  I wish I could.

• 1:11:26Sam Morril?

  Gary's dad was a con man.

• 1:11:27Speaker 03

  Yeah, he was a con man.

• 1:11:29Sam Morril?

  Yeah, he was.

• 1:11:30Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:11:31Mark Normand?

  Yeah.

• 1:11:32Speaker 02

  So are you a real comic?

• 1:11:33Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, he opened up.

• 1:11:36Speaker 02

  He was a con man, really?

• 1:11:37Speaker 03

  Yeah, he opened up this college called Dana College.

• 1:11:42Mark Normand?

  These people are from the Lego tribe.

• 1:11:47Speaker 02

  So, wait, wait, wait, was he really a con man?

• 1:11:50Speaker 03

  Everything he did was just a con. So he had different businesses that were all like fake businesses or businesses that he could just like extort money from.

• 1:11:57Speaker 02

  That's awesome.

• 1:11:58Speaker 03

  One was like a payphone business, Gary Beater, Gray Beater.

• 1:12:00Sam Morril?

  World's greatest dad.

• 1:12:01Speaker 02

  Was he on American Greed? Was he ever on American Greed?

• 1:12:05Speaker 03

  No, never.

• 1:12:06Speaker 02

  You know Stacy Keach, right?

  Next on American Greed.

• 1:12:11Speaker 03

  My dad stayed off the radar, but we did, like, I did scams with him as well.

  Like Michael Jordan?

  Yeah, I met Michael Jordan.

  Really?

  Yeah, I went to the Garden for free for like four years straight.

• 1:12:27Speaker 02

  That is amazing.

• 1:12:28Mark Normand?

  Who was it? Lemieux? Gretzky?

• 1:12:30Speaker 03

  Not Lemieux. I didn't mean Gretzky, but Lemieux, Elway.

  That's your father, huh?

• 1:12:58Speaker 03

  Yeah, we didn't talk for 24 years, didn't he? I didn't see him for 24 years.

  What was it? My dad was just full of shit all the time.

• 1:13:09Mark Normand?

  Tom Brokaw.

• 1:13:10Speaker 02

  But you got to see.

• 1:13:11Speaker 03

  Yeah, the classic Brokaw.

• 1:13:12Speaker 02

  Yo, Brokaw, you know what I like about Brokaw?

• 1:13:14Speaker 03

  Don't worry.

• 1:13:14Speaker 02

  He never pronounces L's.

• 1:13:16Mark Normand?

  Let's hear it.

• 1:13:17Speaker 02

  Oh, well, you know Tom Brokaw.

• 1:13:19Mark Normand?

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:13:20Speaker 02

  He's all kind of gargle his L.

• 1:13:22Mark Normand?

  Right.

• 1:13:22Speaker 02

  He had a speech impediment.

• 1:13:24Sam Morril?

  You are, you are, you, you notice things as an impressionist and we don't know this.

• 1:13:29Speaker 02

  That's what I do with my Sam Elliott. I play the same rules all the time.

• 1:13:33Mark Normand?

  One good thing about the Trump administration, you get the impressions.

• 1:13:37Speaker 02

  And guess what? You know, they have a White House account, right? Uh oh. They, they're talking about locking the borders. So there's a scene in Soul Plane where I lock this, our, our door. It's a ghetto ass airplane. So I have all these locks on the. Oh, I remember that scene. They used it as a meme on the White House account. Shut up, pull that up. At the end, I go, this motherfucker is locked. And they have it for their border. Holy hell.

• 1:14:07Sam Morril?

  By the way, don't realize they're using the son of an immigrant. They're like, they don't realize what this mole me, god damn.

• 1:14:12Speaker 02

  Can you believe it? Can you believe it? That's what I'm gonna see a lot. I love Soul Plane. What a great, that's a great costume. I'd love a Soul Plane. I'd love a nice little pole, a nice little strip pole for millennia. That's where I met it, I think. That is where I met it. You had a young Kevin Hart in that? I actually saw that a while ago. Methan Man, Tom Arnold. Wow. Yeah, we had a bunch of motherfuckers on there, Mole Meek. There you go. We had, uh, Lonnie Law, we had all those people. We had Dale Hughley, John Witherspoon. Jesus Christ.

• 1:14:42Sam Morril?

  John Witherspoon was so great.

• 1:14:43Speaker 02

  It should be Soul Plane too. I, I, I think we should do another one just for, for, for shit to get me.

• 1:14:48Sam Morril?

  Was he the man?

• 1:14:49Speaker 02

  He was awesome. He was a good dude. His, you know, his son is John Witherspoon Jr. Does, he can do, you know, is a comic. No, I didn't know that. And it doesn't look like him at all, but he's also, that's David Letterman's, um, godson. What? That's his, he's called, oh, is that me and Dr. Dre? Yeah, that went by. He's called, oh, that's at 65 million. Hey. Still rising. What, the Dr. Dre? The Dr. Dre video I did at his house. Damn, 65 million. Yeah. These guys are only at 6 million. But that's a Holocaust joke. Nice. That was a stretch. 6 million, Doggy Fresh, you're on.

• 1:15:25Sam Morril?

  If it takes you a second to get it, it's a Jew joke. Just shake the jump.

• 1:15:29Speaker 02

  Yeah, cause you gotta think about laughing first. Well, hey, it's a slow burn.

• 1:15:33Sam Morril?

  Make sure who's around is another.

• 1:15:37Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah, see? Oh, that's, see, that's comedy. Yeah. That's like a Zucker joke. This motherfucker.

• 1:15:46Mark Normand?

  Yeah.

• 1:15:49Speaker 02

  So it's for the White House shit.

• 1:15:50Mark Normand?

  Damn.

• 1:15:52Speaker 03

  That's badass.

• 1:15:53Mark Normand?

  They gotta get residuals for that.

• 1:15:55Speaker 02

  I don't know. That's like a meme now.

• 1:15:57Mark Normand?

  That happened to Theo Von, apparently.

• 1:15:58Speaker 02

  Theo Von.

• 1:16:00Mark Normand?

  Cause didn't he do like a get the fuck out to a guy, you're getting deported? And then used it. No, no, he tweeted at him.

• 1:16:06Sam Morril?

  Well, he does it with bands too. He'll use a band to come out and the band's like, no, fuck you. I don't like you.

• 1:16:11Speaker 02

  Yeah, YMCA is what I understand.

• 1:16:13Speaker 03

  But how do you sue America? Like, can you even like, what do you even, how do you even sue about that?

• 1:16:17Mark Normand?

  You can't sue Troy. He's the Sue King.

• 1:16:19Speaker 02

  But he has, he did 50 Cent too. Many men wish death on me.

• 1:16:24Sam Morril?

  That song does go pretty hard.

• 1:16:26Speaker 02

  It go, he comes out, they do wish death on me, can you believe it? 50 Cent, I love 50 Cent. I think he's great at that.

• 1:16:33Sam Morril?

  50's like, you gotta stop doing, he's like, that's my opener. I need that song.

• 1:16:37Speaker 02

  50's like, yo, it's business, you know?

• 1:16:39Mark Normand?

  I think 50 is a truck guy.

• 1:16:41Sam Morril?

  No, I think he said he had to pay him to use it though.

• 1:16:43Mark Normand?

  Oh, alright, alright.

• 1:16:44Speaker 02

  I think it's money for 50. I don't think it's like his philosophy. I think it's just tax certain. Yeah, man. You know, cause yeah.

• 1:16:52Speaker 03

  All this stuff, I mean, here's Theo.

• 1:16:54Mark Normand?

  Yeah, he got, he got put in the deportee, the ICE video.

• 1:16:59Mark Normand?

  Oh, they took it down. Oh, that was nice.

• 1:17:00Speaker 02

  Oh, they took it down. Good.

• 1:17:01Speaker 03

  All this stuff, Eminem suing Meta. Cause it's like 200 million for using his, his music in reels.

• 1:17:07Mark Normand?

  Oh, how about that?

• 1:17:09Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 1:17:09Speaker 03

  Yeah, so, but I mean, I don't know where it stands.

• 1:17:11Mark Normand?

  Good.

• 1:17:11Speaker 02

  He's like Zuckerberg, nope. Don't touch my shit.

• 1:17:14Mark Normand?

  I hate Meta.

• 1:17:16Speaker 03

  It's like, people dub our, our comedy too, so.

• 1:17:19Mark Normand?

  All the time.

• 1:17:19Sam Morril?

  Yeah, but no one gives a fuck about that. Eminem might, he might, you know.

• 1:17:23Mark Normand?

  Might have a chance.

• 1:17:24Sam Morril?

  Spotify, once Spotify happened though, it's like.

• 1:17:27Speaker 02

  They got, they ruined a lot of artists' lives, man. And now everybody's dusting off their shoes to, they have to do live shit now.

• 1:17:33Sam Morril?

  Well, yeah, but then look what happened with live shit. Live Nation comes in and they're fucking on tickets and like, and now what's even crazier is when you buy tickets for something, it'll say like, it'll be like a $50 ticket and it says $90 upfront. So it used to be 50 bucks and this fees came, but now you're trying to sell tickets and they're like, I'm not paying fucking $9. There's gonna be fees on top.

• 1:17:52Mark Normand?

  Yeah, then they yell at you. Like we did it.

• 1:17:54Sam Morril?

  Dude, these are, it's not, it's, oh my god. I'm doing clubs again right now, just to warm up for this special and it's so easy to sell tickets and clubs. Cause you're not dealing with all the bullshit.

• 1:18:02Mark Normand?

  Oh, good point.

• 1:18:03Sam Morril?

  Theaters, you're just doing, they jack up the fucking prices too much.

• 1:18:07Speaker 02

  I thought the theater shit was cool, man. Fuck that. House nut. I was like, what the fuck is a house nut? You gotta pay a house fee, then you gotta pay this fucking, what is it? Uh, the, the, Union motherfucker. I didn't know there were so many fees. I was like, what in the fuck this?

• 1:18:23Mark Normand?

  You have to do two shows just to make a profit.

• 1:18:25Speaker 02

  Let me get to the chuckle hut. Fuck you. But even though you gotta do a couple more shows, you get all the money, man.

• 1:18:32Sam Morril?

  But I like, I like doing the reps too.

• 1:18:35Speaker 02

  I like the reps. See, the reps are so, people are so caught up in one and out. I go, you need to do.

• 1:18:40Mark Normand?

  You gotta run it.

• 1:18:41Speaker 02

  You need to run that hour, man. Run it a lot of times.

• 1:18:44Sam Morril?

  And I've got endless energy though. You are fucking, you're like legendary for that, I feel like. Look at this guy. He's tired just sitting here.

• 1:18:52Speaker 02

  I enjoy, I enjoy, because you know why? You all are guys very prolific. You're always writing new shit. You guys are very prolific. I am always doing new shit. So I, I'm not, I don't, I'm not strangled by a fucking act. I don't have like one act I do all the time, cause I'd smash myself in the head. But I have so much shit that I'll mix it up. Even I'll pull an old one out. It depends on the crowd, but. I enjoy going, oh, I got all this other shit. I can't wait to do it.

• 1:19:20Sam Morril?

  Do you ever forget like two shows in the same night that you did something on that, that show that you're on?

• 1:19:23Speaker 02

  Sometimes, but I'll, I'll, but I try to kinda, you know, I'll go, okay, I'll kinda make this thematic a little. Go, I'll talk about this shit. Women and blah, blah, blah. I'll do that. And this other one I'll do about the, you know, technology. And then it's sort of, so I can kinda not go, did I say that already?

• 1:19:43Speaker 02

  Cause it can get, it can get that way.

• 1:19:44Mark Normand?

  Well, I do clubs all the time now and I go, who was here? You know, you go, who was, who was just here? And they go, we had God for here. He did five shows, different hour every show. And you go.

• 1:19:51Sam Morril?

  Which is insane. It's insane.

• 1:19:53Speaker 02

  Yeah, I just.

• 1:19:54Sam Morril?

  And the staff enjoys it. By the end of the weekend, they're mouthing his punchlines.

• 1:20:02Speaker 02

  But the staff will tell me, they go, huh, we're like, every time you come, we always, all the staff comes out and sees you and watches you. Cause he goes, he gonna do the same thing? No. I have people repeating. They come back and do it. No, they'll come back for another show, go. You did the whole totally different. I go, I just for myself. It was okay. That's not normal, though. I had a, I had a Michael Jordan moment, cuz I was like, cuz I saw somebody. Your dad was hit by a car?

• 1:20:28Speaker 02

  My, my friend, there was a guy, one of these waiters, and we were talking, right? You know how sometimes you know certain waiters, you go, they go, yo, you're back, what's up? Yeah. So he goes, I, I saw, I think I saw him watching, uh, he was watching a, a comic on, I came on a day before, before my show, and he was watching a comic that had a one-nighter. Mmm. And he goes, this guy does the same fucking shit all the time. And he literally goes, mouthing, he was literally lip syncing the guy. I was like, I don't ever want a motherfucker to have the privilege of doing that to me. Right, right. So I motivated myself to go, alright, I'm gonna try to do something new, all the goddamn. Yeah. I don't, I want people to go, fuck, oh, I thought he was gonna do that. It was just my own to make me work harder. Yes.

• 1:21:12Speaker 02

  I don't want the privilege of somebody saying, yo, he does the same, unless, like, you're working your hour for a special that's different. Sure. Even when I have to do that, I hate it. I wanna just go, I wanna do something new, but I have to do it. Yeah. But I don't wanna, it's just my own way. I get it. To keep me making new stuff, that's all. My own little, you know how Jordan would take something personal? Oh, I don't like the way he stepped on my shoes, man. Alright, I'm gonna score 50. Or he goes, I don't like the way he shook my hand. Alright, I'm gonna dunk on this bitch. You know, I, I do my own little to get me to, oh, let me flip. I'll do the opposite, I'll be like, I'm gonna do a new bit and then I just pussy out. Yeah, you can't, though. I mean, you do, there's only so much, like, I mean, you know, I feel the way. You bookend it, you bookend it. Yeah, I can only do so much new.

• 1:21:57Speaker 02

  But you gotta go in. Be a try, for sure. Fucking take that shit, learn to, how long you been doing comedy? Two years, no, uh, 18 years. Oh, you should've said two. I, I'm just scared an 18-year, I'm scared. I'm scared. I'll say a new bit and it won't do well. I don't know what is gonna happen. There's only so much new I could do. I'm so tired of you. I don't have a new shot. I invented ice hockey.

• 1:22:27Mark Normand?

  Another thing about those theaters is they charge for merch. Oh, yeah.

• 1:22:30Speaker 02

  They take a percentage.

• 1:22:32Mark Normand?

  Twenty percent. I had to ship it here, I had to sell it. I gotta pay a guy.

• 1:22:35Speaker 03

  They made it so we have to tour endlessly, and I don't mind it, I like it, but then taking a piece of every fucking thing.

• 1:22:40Mark Normand?

  T-shirts, come on.

• 1:22:42Speaker 02

  Maybe if you're making so much money where you're not noticing the take, but that shit annoys me. I was like, people are doing theaters because of the prestige, I get it, but fuck that. You're at the whatever Funny Bone and you're making, yo, dough. You just added a couple of shows, but you're making your money, man. And you're getting the reps in. You need those reps. You need them. Fuck that. You need that.

• 1:23:04Mark Normand?

  I agree.

• 1:23:04Speaker 02

  You really need those reps, man. Boxing and comedy are parallel.

• 1:23:08Mark Normand?

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:23:09Speaker 02

  You gotta hit the bag. You got to. You have to, or you will fuck up. Like, you ever see when Tyson skipped?

• 1:23:14Mark Normand?

  We all brain damaged?

• 1:23:15Speaker 02

  Yeah, you'd be like, this is the problem. Yeah. It's the truth. Little, little, the little things count. The little things in comedy count. It's a little shit affects it. It's weird.

• 1:23:27Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:23:27Speaker 02

  It's really, it's one of those art forms that you can't skip steps. You can't.

• 1:23:32Speaker 03

  Well, I think anybody, if you're on a theater run, you did wanna, if you can't, like, run it a little bit in a club before as much as possible.

• 1:23:38Speaker 02

  Always, always do it in a more intimate.

• 1:23:40Speaker 03

  A lot of these theater acts are like just starting, like, oh, here's the hour, now there's, they're.

• 1:23:44Speaker 02

  And then you see, but you see it, though. You see.

• 1:23:46Mark Normand?

  Completely.

• 1:23:47Speaker 03

  It's hard to work out in a theater.

• 1:23:48Mark Normand?

  It is.

• 1:23:49Speaker 02

  You cannot hide. Comedy will show your ass, man. If you fake, you can't fake it. They go, ah, it was okay. Yeah, it was okay.

• 1:23:59Mark Normand?

  Right.

• 1:23:59Speaker 02

  But you see a guy like a Tell do thirty, go hot cross buns, and you're fucking dying laughing.

• 1:24:04Mark Normand?

  I know.

• 1:24:05Speaker 02

  Cause he's always on.

• 1:24:07Mark Normand?

  I know. And he's got a bit about the ice shooting. He's got a bit about Maduro. He's got a bit about that. You're like, how does he have all this new shit?

• 1:24:13Speaker 02

  Cause he's with me at one in the morning. He's always there, you know, on stage.

• 1:24:19Mark Normand?

  Yep.

• 1:24:20Speaker 02

  And you don't, it doesn't miss you. He's doing the work. You have to. It's unfortunate, but comedy doesn't let you hide.

• 1:24:27Mark Normand?

  No, he said that might, we'll be right back. This is the funny lever, you know?

• 1:24:32Speaker 02

  All those nuances happen.

• 1:24:34Mark Normand?

  Of course.

• 1:24:35Speaker 02

  On the stage. You gotta, it doesn't come with, I'm just gonna do it. You can't, comedy will always knock you the fuck back down. When you gotta do a new hour, look how, you gotta go and work it again. That's the respect you have. You can't just go, I got a new hour. Let me just go, nope, you're like, ah, let me go. To go small. Yeah. Then go big. Yeah. It's like fighters, when they go to, when they're in Vegas, they do the big fights, but guess where they gotta go? They gotta show up at Wild Card Gym. You know Wild Card? Wild Card is, um, is Freddie Roach's, Freddie Roach's. Oh. Who trained, um, Pacquiao and all those guys. Way better than Freddie Romans Gym. Freddie Romans. Hey! Is that a punch? But I would go there with Adam Hunter. Oh, I know Adam Hunter. You know, Adam's MMA and shit. Yeah. Oh, wow.

• 1:25:20Speaker 02

  Adam Hunter's, oh, Adam, Adam kick motherfuckers asses. Adam beat up one of these comics, I'm not gonna say his name, but Adam fucked a comic up. Real nice. It was Josh Blue.

• 1:25:32Speaker 02

  He was normal before that. Josh blocked the comic. And Brad Williams. But, but, yeah, he, there was some comic that kind of like, was accusing Adam of stealing. Adam is so, his own kind of comic, he don't steal, he has these one liners, he doesn't steal anybody's shit. And the dude, like, literally, um, socked him at the, at the Ha Ha. Uh-oh. Club in LA, like punched him, like, Adam had his, uh, laptop with him, and the guy clocked him, what, like snuck, snuck him one. Geez. And Adam, like, just put him in a fucking. Wow. Jiu-Jitsu, boom, boom, called me, said, yeah, I go, what's up? Call I might be the guy. He called me, Adam said, yeah, I just finished fucking up, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. I said, what happened? He said, so I, I put him out, choked him out, choked him out, beat the shit out of him.

• 1:26:17Speaker 02

  I murdered him, I gotta stay with him for a few weeks. He goes, I didn't know he couldn't fight. Ah, he's a comedian. I didn't know he didn't, because Adam's always trained, and, you know, he was, he was an all-state wrestler in, um, Massachusetts. Oh, boy. Um, freestyle wrestling. Oh, scary. But, and Adam is like, oh, Jewish boy, then, he gets down. Too bad he didn't host the Oscars. How great would that have been? Get Will Smith?

• 1:26:41Speaker 02

  Not so fresh now, huh?

• 1:26:44Speaker 02

  Hancock sucked. Get your hand out of my mouth.

• 1:26:50Speaker 02

  Yeah, man, so, um, fuck, what was I talking about? But anyway. Oh. Adam Hunter. Adam Hunter. UFC. Yeah, the boxing. Oh, boxing. But, yeah, when you go to see the, when I would go to Wild Card, you, you see Matthew McConaughey doing boxing, oh, yeah, you see a lot of people. But it was a, it's a small, little, humble gym over a laundromat, but all the greatest boxers. Come and work, I would watch Pacquiao like.

• 1:27:09Mark Normand?

  Damn.

• 1:27:10Speaker 02

  Pacquiao, really nice guy.

• 1:27:11Speaker 03

  Their mat time is our, our stage time.

• 1:27:12Mark Normand?

  Right.

• 1:27:13Sam Morril?

  They never show up as out of shape as we do with a new hour.

• 1:27:16Speaker 02

  What'd you say?

• 1:27:16Sam Morril?

  They never show up as out of shape for fighting as we do with a new hour.

• 1:27:20Speaker 02

  Right, right, right. No, but when you, it's like, I love to do the lounge.

• 1:27:25Mark Normand?

  Yeah, fat black.

• 1:27:26Speaker 02

  Lounge, comedy is an intimate, uh, art form, it really is. We do the big shit, so we, the revenue wise, but we like that small shit. We like it's more fun.

• 1:27:35Mark Normand?

  Love a small room.

• 1:27:36Speaker 02

  Revenue wise, fuck no. Let me go do, let me go do Mars, I'm gonna be, I'm being, let me go do this stadium.

• 1:27:42Mark Normand?

  Right.

• 1:27:43Speaker 02

  It sucks doing those. It's so, it's, it's just for the revenue.

• 1:27:47Mark Normand?

  Sure.

• 1:27:48Speaker 02

  But as far as the art, it suffers. It does. I wish, I mean, if you could do it, you'd do it. But it suffers though.

• 1:27:54Mark Normand?

  Yeah, I agree.

• 1:27:55Speaker 02

  But when you're doing a small, it's the greatest, it's like jazz players don't wanna do big ass fucking, you know, festivals. They wanna play in a small, but money wise.

• 1:28:03Mark Normand?

  Sure.

• 1:28:04Speaker 02

  Revenue wise, yeah, but I don't wanna take out the integrity of the art. You have to go small.

• 1:28:08Mark Normand?

  And when you're staring, when you're, you can kill in a theater, cause there's so many people like, ah. But then when you're staring at people at a Funny Bone and they're four feet away, you're like, this isn't hitting. Cause in a theater, you get that big pop, so you feel like you're killing. But you got those people right on your toes, you're like, I'm kinda bombing here.

• 1:28:23Speaker 03

  Also, an arena, it's like, I mean, like, not to, I mean, this is like First World Problems, but if you do a few, they're all the same, really.

• 1:28:29Mark Normand?

  Right.

• 1:28:30Speaker 03

  They're all kind of, like, nothing's like that different.

• 1:28:32Speaker 02

  No, you play, I play small, I, cause when you do enough clubs, you play like you're in a club. Except you, you're aware that there's more people, but you don't really worry about that. You still worry about, like,

• 1:28:43Speaker 03

  In front of you, yeah.

• 1:28:44Speaker 02

  You play small still, kinda, you know what I mean? Cause you already know it's rafters, alright, fuck them. If it hits, it hits, it'll flow. That's, that's the psychology I have with it.

• 1:28:55Sam Morril?

  When's, uh, your new special coming out?

• 1:28:57Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 1:28:57Mark Normand?

  Ooh, you got a new one? What?

  January fourteenth in theaters nationwide.

• 1:29:02Mark Normand?

  Shut up.

• 1:29:03Speaker 02

  I'm not lying.

• 1:29:04Mark Normand?

  Theaters?

• 1:29:04Sam Morril?

  You're doing the prior shit.

• 1:29:06Speaker 02

  It's called, it's called, uh, Rebel With A Cause.

• 1:29:09Mark Normand?

  Hmm.

• 1:29:09Speaker 02

  And we, my producer got it in theaters.

• 1:29:12Mark Normand?

  What?

• 1:29:13Speaker 02

  Listen, it's AMC, Alamo Drafthouse, uh, Cineopolis, Cinemark, and Movie Grill, and.

• 1:29:21Speaker 02

  We've sold a really good amount of, I'm surprised. This is great. It was fifty grand, fifty thousand was supposed to, I'm at forty something thousand. Holy moly. I never did this before because I didn't get approached by Netflix. Wow.

• 1:29:35Sam Morril?

  That is crazy.

• 1:29:36Speaker 02

  That's crazy. Ah, well, you know. They'll come eventually, which is sad. What's funny is I know the people there. That's weird. But it's Rebel with a Cause and it's in AMC and we're doing a, tonight we're doing a private little screening, red carpet thing we're doing, uh, you know, uh, at the AMC on Forty Second Street. Hmm. And yeah, man, and um, yeah.

• 1:30:00Speaker 03

  You filmed it at the Apollo?

• 1:30:01Speaker 02

  At the Apollo. Hell yeah.

• 1:30:03Speaker 03

  That's killer.

• 1:30:03Speaker 02

  Wow. I raised the money myself. Wow. With the help of um, um, Will I Am from Black Eyed Peas. Oh yeah. And I had another dude, some Capital Ventures guy, he was just a fan and he gave me money for it too. You know what I mean? Yeah.

• 1:30:20Speaker 03

  Looks awesome.

• 1:30:21Speaker 02

  Which was, which was, which was fantastic and yeah, and, and GoFundMe. My fans were like, why don't you raise money, man? Fuck that, man. I can't wait. Raise money, man. We, we could send you money. And then Dante set it up. And I had money from there, money from there. Will I Am just goes, dude, I want to give you some money. Oh, this is gonna blow you up. I can tell. I can feel it. And I'm gonna go to the theater just to get you back. I'm gonna talk.

• 1:30:48Speaker 03

  And you have four more hours. You have four more hours.

• 1:30:51Speaker 02

  And so, and so.

• 1:30:52Sam Morril?

  Every, every cinema is a different hour.

• 1:30:56Speaker 02

  There's a seven o'clock, there's a.

• 1:30:59Speaker 03

  That's, that's insane that Netflix doesn't, like, your following is huge.

• 1:31:03Speaker 02

  That's crazy. Man, dude, that's kind of story of my, and it's not no poor me, story of my kind of life.

• 1:31:08Sam Morril?

  Is it eventually gonna end up on YouTube or something?

• 1:31:10Speaker 02

  Or something, but right now, because Eight Hundred Pound Gorilla is like, we wanna, we're not even doing that. It's just theater release. I was like, what? Because here's the thing. The fact that the theaters aren't really, um.

• 1:31:25Mark Normand?

  What they used to be.

• 1:31:26Speaker 02

  Right. So guess what? They need content, man.

• 1:31:29Mark Normand?

  Oh.

• 1:31:30Speaker 02

  My producer, Frenago, I go, what theaters? He goes, yeah. It's not as hard as you think because they're like really struggling for good content.

• 1:31:37Mark Normand?

  Yeah.

• 1:31:38Speaker 02

  So, yeah, I was able to re- and they even increased. It was 200. Now it's 400 something theaters. So, yeah, we got it for this day. And if it does well, we'll just keep, we'll keep it.

• 1:31:47Mark Normand?

  Keep it going.

• 1:31:47Speaker 02

  Keep it flowing. But from there, we're gonna, we're gonna strategize. So we're doing it differently. It's just like Ali Siddique and his YouTube.

• 1:31:54Sam Morril?

  He's killing it. I'm very impressed.

• 1:31:56Speaker 02

  I mean, what, Ari Shaffir's Jew, uh, went.

• 1:31:59Speaker 03

  That was a good show.

• 1:32:00Mark Normand?

  Yeah.

• 1:32:01Speaker 02

  And, and the numbers.

• 1:32:03Sam Morril?

  Nice to see Jew and Millions together and it's not a bad thing.

• 1:32:06Mark Normand?

  Yeah, there you go.

• 1:32:08Speaker 02

  And, and, you know, the numbers, um, on YouTube are killing all the other networks.

• 1:32:14Mark Normand?

  A hundred percent.

• 1:32:15Speaker 02

  It like the, the stats are there. It's just that, it's the labeling.

• 1:32:19Mark Normand?

  Yeah.

• 1:32:20Speaker 02

  Netflix, but a lot of times people's specials are just floating.

• 1:32:23Mark Normand?

  Now, let's say, after this goes theaters, it does well. Let's say Netflix goes, we keep hearing about this special. We'd like it.

• 1:32:30Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:32:30Mark Normand?

  But the number's low. Would you go with it? Or would you go, fuck you? I want, I want a lot of money.

• 1:32:34Speaker 02

  Yeah, I'd be like, can I get this depending?

• 1:32:37Mark Normand?

  Okay.

• 1:32:37Speaker 02

  Let me get, yeah, fuck that. You ignored me anyway.

• 1:32:40Mark Normand?

  Right. Yeah, good point.

• 1:32:41Speaker 02

  If it's, if, cause I heard they're not really giving out a lot.

• 1:32:44Mark Normand?

  No, they're not.

• 1:32:45Speaker 02

  So, ah, hey, man, my, my, uh, I don't know what you guys is following. My following's pretty good. I mean, I'm two, two and a half mil.

• 1:32:54Mark Normand?

  Whoa, damn.

• 1:32:57Sam Morril?

  You're killing them and you built it yourself.

• 1:32:58Speaker 02

  I built it myself. And I, and they cut my other account. They shut my.

• 1:33:03Mark Normand?

  Oh, really? Why?

• 1:33:04Speaker 02

  I had to rebuild it.

• 1:33:05Mark Normand?

  Damn, just for being offensive or?

• 1:33:07Speaker 02

  What is offensive now?

• 1:33:08Mark Normand?

  I don't know.

• 1:33:09Speaker 02

  They go, they, they.

• 1:33:10Mark Normand?

  They keep changing.

• 1:33:11Speaker 02

  Yeah, I had weird, like, if I was like, what? That wasn't, I could have said, you fucking bitch. I, it was weird stuff. Like, I was like, what? And then you try to appeal it. They don't answer.

• 1:33:21Mark Normand?

  Yes, yes.

• 1:33:22Speaker 03

  That's what's scary is that, yeah, you're, you know, say you don't go the Netflix route is that you could just get shut down somehow and that's out of your control.

• 1:33:29Mark Normand?

  Yeah, it's out of your control.

• 1:33:30Speaker 03

  It's scary. Obviously, everything's, you know, it's.

• 1:33:31Sam Morril?

  The one, the other one Netflix has other, other than like the prestige is that you can just say whatever.

• 1:33:36Mark Normand?

  Yeah, they're open.

• 1:33:37Speaker 02

  That's the one thing. So, but if you're not getting that.
