"You want to listen to my EP?" No, it's not good. It's not good. It's never good.

They don't say EP anymore. Oh, whatever. Yeah. But Oh, do you want You want to see my paintings? It's never

thing is your key. That's your key demo. I've dated. You've seen You've met. I know. That's what you love the most.

It's I love it. Yeah. Because Kalila was mixed. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um other girls were mixed that

other girls mixed. You know, I dated some mixies. Yeah. Yeah. Because full is a lot. It's too much.

Well, it's heavy. Yeah. Yeah. What do you mean? It's heavy. Well, because if you go meet parents and

they're both whites. Yeah. That's a lot of defense you got to play. I know. But if one of them is part of your

lineage in anyway, if you got like the Asian dad, you're like, "How you doing?" Yeah. You know, like at least you got a little

in. But if it's two whites, that's a lot of danger. Also, there's bullying going on because like I remember when I was dating Sarah

Highland, she she she lived she was from Louisville, Kentucky, our favorite. And we went one dinner.

One dinner I came to the dinner, family dinner. Everyone was wearing kimonos.

Well, that's respectful. They were. That's respectful. And then they had a tight Hello Kitty

shirt for me, so I put it on. It was really Everyone laughed. That's cute. It is cute, right? But it's like it

would have been nice if there was another Asian there. Yeah. Oh, you're the only one. I was the only one. Yeah. They should have brought another one in.

Just hire one just to be there. And when the grandma her grandmother didn't really like me that much. Yeah. But you I did a little Asian thing.

I have Asian technique for them to like me. I went to the grand piano and I started playing

cuz I knew she was in the living room and then I can see her trying starting to like me. Right.

You got to bring it. You either do that or do your taekwondo something. You have to tell them you have Asian skills. I think

get your abacus out of your car and Yeah. Yeah.

personally and I walk away from them going, "I need revenge." Yeah. May I write down what I'm going to

and eating less, you're really hurting yourself. Uh, so I'm just going like I'm more

exercise. Yeah. So, let's lay it on. What's What's the one exercise that you

actually enjoy? because none of them are that enjoyable. I kind of like the way it all feels. You do? Yeah.

[ __ ] I don't know. I can't get through it lately. I guess maybe it's also the if the depression exercise is like I'm

doing it because I know I need to do it. Oh, yeah. No. Yeah. Cuz I want to do it. How old are you?

Like what do we What do you mean? Doesn't matter. Just eat it. Because somebody is

explaining this to me that if you prohibit, you're in this constant tension that you then have to binge to

release. But if you just go like whatever I want, I'm going to eat it when I want it. What happens is your

body goes like that [ __ ] hurt. That actually hurt. That was not a good idea. And then that memory makes you go, "Oh

yeah, I don't want that this time. I want less things than I used to." You know what I mean? Oh yeah. You get hunger pains at night?

impossible for it to be a mistake. Okay. A person. Yeah. Yeah. For whatever happens.

He was like a great performer. He's fascinating. He's so fascinating. Yeah. He really like the And now because now he's on

like a uh like a traditional uh sitcom and it's massively popular, right?

Yes. Neighbor. The neighbor. Something like that. Yeah. I never seen that. That's still there. That's still going on. Oh, it's got to be. It's those network

shows. They'll just they keep riding. He was one of the most natural performers I ever worked with. That guy

could make anything funny. [ __ ] eight seasons. That thing. Wow. We had this bit that I wrote called

um Texas versus Maine and it was some like local access cable show in Texas

that he's and he's a Texan and it's about how much better Texas is than

Maine and he hates Maine and he does this kind of like

kind of like uh what's his name? The uh cartoon character with cowboy hat. I know. I can't think of his [ __ ]

name. Yeah. Yeah. Samuse Sam. Yuseity Sam. He did sort of an impression of him and

and I used to love watching him do it. He was he was really something. A good guy, too. Like really good guy.

Yeah. You You haven't talked to him in years. Oh, I haven't? No.

It was like an You haven't talked. I I can tell. I can tell. It's been a few years. Well, cuz you're talking about him in

the past tense. Like he died. Like he died. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, we just still we didn't we didn't stay friends. I mean, not not

actively, but I'm always happy when I do see him. I said, "Yeah." Hey,

do you hug them or no? Cuz that that that tells me a lot. I don't think you're a hugger. We hug. You do?

Yeah. I like Okay, good. I mean, when I saw you the other day, you gave me a side hug. That was very fruitful. Yeah.

I'll tell you I'll tell you the best thing that uh the thing that warmed my heart. You said to me, "This was great.

This is probably the best piece of advice I've gotten from someone. We were at the seller and we were in um

we were in the Fat Black Lounge and you were in the hallway and you were like, "That was that was really good.

When I got off stage, I said, "Oh, thank you, man." And you go, "That's family stuff. That's great." And I go, "Yeah." "Oh, thank you." And you go, "That other

stuff, get rid of that." And I was like, "Okay." And you go, "The family said

that was good." And I go, "Right, right." And you go, "But the other stuff." No, he didn't. Yes, he did. Yes, he did. Yeah, he did.

You did in a jokey way. I No, I meant It was [ __ ] great.

Oh, you did? I saw him at the Fat Black. I had never seen him. I've I've I've seen clips of you guys together and

stuff. Yeah. And uh so I was just watching him and uh he was doing this stuff about his family

and he was doing a really smart bit about if you about how you can um about

resentment towards his parents and that later when they become weaker and you start controlling their lives, you can

get revenge on them. And it sounded really like the feelings felt real. Yeah. And that was really engaging. And then

he talked about if you really want to get back at people that age, give them Bluetooth for presents, like Bluetooth

items. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And uh and it was a great bit. And then he started doing some about Trump and

the those issues that you know and I was like I just felt I just went away. And that's how I feel

about most people. He's as though I think I said to you, you're as good as anybody while you're talking about your

family. Yeah. You're as good as anyone. Like really great. And then the other thing is you sound like everyone, right? You sound

just like everyone else. Wow. Because uh this thing my take on the you know everyone's trapped in like four

issues for like since 2016. Yeah. Trump trans blah d. It's just the same

[ __ ] stuff. And here's my take on the woke this. It's just so boring. And uh and everyone takes a shot on on

Twitter and on the podcasts. We all do it. So on stage it's like why why you

can fashion a great you know no one has your family no one has your voice you know it's totally interesting to watch

somebody you can tell where they're you know and where they're coming from uh e

ethnically where they're coming from in where they are and the kind of family they had. That's I'll listen to that all

day. Yeah. Can I ask you It was awesome. I loved it. Can I ask you a question? Yeah. You don't have to ask.

I'm on your show. I know. But can I ask you one? Yeah. Okay. Um,

let me Okay. So, um, I want No, this is the way cuz I want to be real for a second. Sure. I'm

Okay. So, um, I've always been obsessed about killing. Uh-huh.

So, I'm not as prolific. Okay. Right. Yeah, I understand that. Yeah. And I haven't changed my act. I

mean, right now I'm doing a special for Hulu, so I'm trying to come up with new stuff. But my point is is that

I'm so afraid of not killing that. I I I've been I'm in a [ __ ] rut.

I totally because of that fear, you know what I mean? And it's like I know that there's more that I can do. I know there's more

that I can say and I just don't do it because I hate bombing. You know what I

mean? And it's like I just know that I'm not growing. And I know that, you know, I mean, you're so you're very prolific,

if I can say that. Yes, I am. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you're one of those comics that like if you're performing, like all the comics will run

into the room to watch you. When I perform, they [ __ ] leave. They're [ __ ] fire. They don't leave.

They do. They do. The whole background doesn't matter. None of that matters. Okay. [ __ ] the other comedians. That's not

your audience. Okay. You're not doing this for them. Yeah. Who am I doing it for? They're just their competition and their

colleagues. They're just people that also do what you do. Okay. Has nothing to do with them. Yeah.

How do I get over this rut though? Yeah. What you're describing is a very important thing and it's a very

vulnerable place to be. You know exactly what you have to do. Your problem is your solution is right in front of you.

What is it? It's just you got to you got to get over it. No. In other words, you you're you're I

mean what I'm saying is you're way ahead of the game because a lot of people don't understand what their problem is. Yeah. I totally understand it. That is

the basic problem for most comedians. Um because they're afraid of that

feeling. I'm not killing. I was raised to kill as a comic. I started in Boston

and in Boston it was like you might get hurt if you don't kill cuz the room might get really nasty,

right? And someone might throw [ __ ] at you. They might wait for you outside. Like there's a feeling in Boston of like

there's the bad version of this is [ __ ] bad. And also there was this kind of like

this biting spirit there. So I I liked it. I I was 18 when I started. So I was

killing killing killing. It took me a long time to realize that this is I still try to untrain myself. There's

bits where I'm like that crushes but it's not making me better. I got to stop doing it.

So it's not only not wanting to bomb. It's also like backing away from the

obvious sometimes and just going like, "Yeah, that bit annihilates." But yeah,

what are we doing? You know better. Yeah. Yeah. It's not there's no quality to it. There's nothing that's not taking me

anywhere new. I mean, all the thing is uh the problem with comedians is they take everything very personally and it's

a it's a scientific thing kind of comedy and it's an art. So you should think of

the like pro p privilege the work what's what matters is this bit right um like I

was watching this kid in uh New York and he was doing bits about the election the last one and it had been over for a

while and uh and the bits were strong but people weren't really into it.

Yeah. And he made some comment on stage like oh I guess you guys don't like my politics or something. And I pulled him

aside afterwards and I said, "It's because it's an old topic. No one wants

to hear about it. Old elections." And he said, "I know, but this bits were killing and I don't want to let him go."

Yeah. And he what I said to him was cuz he was very young guy. So I said, "If you took the two minutes of

political material and instead you stood there and did nothing, uh, you'd grow

more as a comic." It'd be better for you as a comedian. Yeah. I think every comedian should try

to put especially in these workout sets in the clubs. Yeah. At some point have like an alarm go off

or some way that you go, I'm going to do 90 seconds. I got no act. Just 90 seconds of just of just try to see what

happens. If you don't keep coming and coming and coming with it,

it's that panic moment of like I got to kill right now. If you can just get past it, it's like the sound barrier, you

know, with that big explosion. Yeah. On the other side of the sound barrier is like there's a calm. You go

like, "Oh, I'm I got power now. I'm not killing. They're looking at me. This is weird. I'm still here. I'm alive.

I can do a bunch of things I couldn't do on the other side of this." Yeah. You could only do one thing when you

need it to be kill. But if you get past that, you have like this bunch of other

options that you're like, "Wow, I could do this." They're looking at the room comes alive when you stop getting laughs.

It does. People Yeah. People start going, "What is going on?" There's no Cuz this puts you to sleep.

Yeah. They're not even listening after a while. You know, if you're doing jokes,

you could one always do one joke where you go and then I flap the jab black laps. it like where you literally make

no sense and you'll get that's why a lot of comics have like 15 tags and they're getting jokes just because the the

motor's in motion. They're not funny. Yeah. But you just get You know what I mean?

I mean it's you just have to You're 54. What are you waiting for?

It's time. It's Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's never too late. Okay. You need to start going on stage and

having bad sex. Yeah. You have to. You have to. Yeah, you have to. That's it. You won't grow.

You have to. But no, you you have to. No, no, no. I'm saying you have to. I do it all the time. Every time I go

out to start writing a show, I I struggle mightily for months.

And in nowhere in time on set, you're like, I'm I'm I've lost the room and I I have to do a joke that I know it's

proven or no, you stay in the try not to do that. I do I'm weak when I do that, but I try to stay in it and

just go like this is like when I'm developing a new hour, I go to the seller, I I go in, I haven't been in for

a while, I do five minutes, maybe just a few jokes I have, and then I get off. And the next time I do 10, when I get to

about 20, yeah, then it starts filling in and it starts getting strong.

When I have a strong 20, I put it away. I'm like, you can't do these jokes anymore. And I go back in with nothing.

And I start with another zero hard. And what's so funny? And then you get that brave hard joke.

Well, I'm going to do it. Okay. 1996.

So I don't do it on the special. He's got a Braveheart joke. Yeah, it's funny.

It's fresh. Listen, my last special or one of the last ones I did a special a joke about Goodwill Hunting and it was 201

Well, you did a whole thing about the Bible. That's [ __ ] old. The Bible's

Bible's been out for a while. Yeah. Yeah. So, Lou, I'm going to make a deal with everyone in this room. Okay. Yeah.

For my special, I'm going to Cuz I've never done a special. Right. Right. So, I have to do the

things that I've amassed. No, you don't. For my special, it's in two months.

Okay. Well, I know. But for the next, you know what

I mean? Thing. Yes. Look, do the special and clean house. I'm cleaning house and then start over.

I'm never going to do those jokes again. That's great. That's right. Yeah. I love that. He's going to clean house the way a hoarder does where they're like, "Don't

really don't get rid of that. Put that right there." Yeah,

I'll throw out one of the four Kermits. I'm keeping the other three Kermits. The

un unboxed. I'm going to tell you what. I'm going to tell you why I'm doing it. Sure. Because when I perform, I don't feel

good. I feel pain. Yeah, man. Every [ __ ] I've been there. Yeah. I feel pain. I feel disgusted.

When I drive home, I don't feel good. You got You totally get what's going on. I know. There's something going on. Yes.

And it's like when I was younger and I was like bombing and I was like trying new things and going what's my voice and

all that kind of stuff. It was in retrospect I mean back then you were struggling there was no money and

getting stage time and all the [ __ ] [ __ ] that you have to go through but still in terms of performing it felt

new. It felt fresh kill are traps. They're they are prisons.

Yeah. And they keep you from I mean you're stuck in these bits. It's horrible.

Yeah, I had the same opening joke for like 10 years or more. Uh, and I every time I

said it, it felt like I was pissing out of my my own mouth. I hated it. I hated

it so much. Can you tell me what is the joke? Yeah. And it's actually about piss. I hate I hate I hate saying it.

Please do it. Yeah. Yeah. It's Oh god, it's so horrible. I mean, it is what it is. It's a joke, but it's

about I live in New York. It was like, uh, New York is the only city where you actually have to say things like, "Hey,

that's mine. Don't don't piss on it." Yeah, I know. I love that. That's a great joke. I like I like Yeah, I've heard you do.

It's a fine joke, but do it for 10 years every night. Like, it's not You felt he That's um He's autistic.

Sorry about that. He He'll move furniture the whole show. It's just kind of what he does.

When When you try new stuff, do you have a button or is it sometimes like just a premise?

Yeah, usually it's a premise like I come up with I'll be you know walking around and I'll I'll have a thought or in a

conversation where I'm like that's I know that area is a bit right and I'll write down the premise just the

word like two words of what it is and then I wait I try not to think about it too much till I get on stage and then I

go on stage the next time and I explain it to the first audience and that's how I write it usually.

Wow. And then it gets refined over time. Once in a while bits come to me full

like well I don't know where that came from but just like a joke like I'll come up with a I'll think of a sentence and

then I'll think of a joke cuz I do still like jokes you know. Yeah. So I jokes I just they come they pop in.

Uh but bits where you're talking about something that's that's the way I do those. You just you know there's an area

there's something there and you wait cuz they're listening. They're there no better. They're the instrument.

So when you're working in the dark it's like being a composer. They like to have a piano. They like to hear it, you know,

not just sit there and go this and have it all in their head. Yeah. When you have an audience, that's your instrument. So you they're sitting there

waiting and that makes you that brings it out of you like and it makes you come up with it funny cuz that's what you

that's what you do. Pitch Louis some bits. You got some He's got some new [ __ ] Pitch him some. No. Pitch him some bits.

I'm not doing it now. Yeah. Do it. No. No. No. I'm not doing that right now. He's got a couple in the chamber. Come on. Tell him.

Tell me one. Tell him one of the new bits. One idea for new bit. Come on. Well, I have a bit that um I'm trying to

get to work. Look at Louis when you do it. Don't look at me. Yeah. I want to look at you, too. I want to look at you. I want to look at you right now. Exercise for you.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good for you. Yeah. So, I have a bit about like um my dad used to tell wild stories. I don't know

if they were true or not, right? Mhm. Like when I was 14, my dad goes, "When I was your age, okay, in Korea, I used to

kill wolf, right?" I go, "There are wolves in Korea. So many wolf." You mean

everywhere wolf, you know? One time wolf attack, I break a leg, right? I take a

stick, pop in the face, right? Then a couple of days later, my friend um um John brought his core giver to my house

and my dad goes, "How does your wolf used to kill dogs?"

But it you know it's a great bit. Yeah. What's wrong with you? It doesn't get a huge laugh though on

stage. It gets kind of a giggle. It's a great bit. Ke, you got to do that bit. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. It's a great bit. Yeah. Just give him another one. No, I want to give up. You got to keep You got to keep doing

it. All of every bit I have. I give up that destroys.

Yeah. Started either weak or like pissing people off, but I just

keep doing it and and it's like it's like walking to a firing squad and saying, "Shoot me." It's hard. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. and you go and they

go, "Uhhuh." But these all these bits are really there's still a few in in my set now. Even though I'm doing theaters

that I'm like, I still know I'm not getting what I should be getting with that one. It still feels weak, but I still believe in it. So, I'm still And

it keeps changing and changing. So, I got to cuz sometimes you got to keep doing it. You got to do that bit over and over again.

Okay. That's what it is. Yeah. Over and over. Over and over again. Are you doing the bit Are you doing the bit about the uh how we can mount and

dismount an entire race in one I don't remember. I remember those

words, but I don't remember what the way you said that. That stuck. I mountain. Now you're saying the way that we say like when you have someone on the

[ __ ] news says like Oh, that Yeah. No, I don't do it anymore. Why, dude? Yeah. I had a whole bunch of stuff about

people the way people talk in the news and I had some about Trump and all this

stuff and and that stuff I just decided I didn't want there. Here and I'll This may help you.

Okay. Okay. I was doing it's in that bit. It's You can have it. You can have it.

So, I was doing um when I went back on the road, I took a year and a half off of comedy. I wasn't I was going to quit.

Like, I decided I didn't want to do it anymore. And I So, it was a really great break because I wasn't like just taking

time off. I was like, I'm done. But then I started coming up with ideas, jokes. So, you know, I just got full. I wanted

to do them. And then I was like, I just let's just get back to it. But when I first started going out with this new

set, they had these weird bits that are kind of strange and then this killer

chunk about the news and all that stuff. And I was like, where do I put that that

it where does it hurts these other bits? How do they, you know? And then I was in Omaha doing a bunch of shows at the

Funny Funny Bone. And uh one night I was like, what if tonight you don't do you don't do those

bits at all? just take them out. And I took them out and the everything else in the show kind of rose up a lot

and the show just got because it had a cohesion to it and it just got better. Like your your bit is competing with

these other bits like it it can't follow Braveheart or whatever you're killing. Oh, I see.

Yeah. So once you're done with this special Yeah. that bit should be like your No, I'm doing that bit on the in the

special. It's a new bit. But I mean these bits will do better the new ideas. Oh, I see what you're saying. and they

have a little feeling. But that those also the bit about the news. Brian Rean

did a bit kind of like it. No, not like that. Your your his spin was the way people talk in the news then

versus now. And you were saying the way that you'll have an anchor.

No, but he did he did a thing about people saying uh there's a uh there was a fire today in Nicaragua.

Oh, Nicaragua. Oh, that's right. Right, right, right, right, right. That's right. So, I was doing I was doing that. It was kind of near it. The

phrase the phrasing was great. I The phrase stuck out of my brain when you go, "How did you mount and dismount an entire race in one word?"

And with one word of your life. I love that. Yeah, it was fun to do. I like that bit. Uh and then I did a thing about homeless

versus unhoused. The unhoused. But I just don't want to. I don't I'm I'm tired of having clever takes on

what's going on in the world. Oh, [ __ ] I'm tired. [ __ ] My whole act is [ __ ]

I have a whole homeless bit. That's just 5 minutes of homeless. That's just me. Oh my god.

His special is literally called Clever Take on what's going on in the world. [ __ ] We got to change.

I'm just going to put the greatest hits out and then the next time I'm going to grow and it's going to be the greatest. What about you? Where are you at with

I just put out a [ __ ] special on you on Hulu. Uh, which you know, which was it was a good time for me to put out a

special cuz it was um Charlie Kirk got shot anniversary of 911 and then they took Jimmy Kimmel off the air and I was

like, "Put out a special baby. Drop it right there. Drop it right there." It's [ __ ] insane. And and Hulu, he's

doing it with Hulu, too. Is that your first one? That's my Hulu. That's number one. I did one before um I did one previous Well,

no, I did technically that's You done two show? No, Showtime. Then Netflix. Netflix was the first like real

real special. But does Hulu have uh it forever or do you get it back? No, you get them back. Like Netflix too, they took mine down after it was like a

licensed. So yeah, I might just put it up on YouTube. We were talking about Yeah. Don't worry about it. It's all

this it's a body of work you're compiling over time. Yeah. So So it's got a life on Hulu right now.

But the I did a special called um hilarious and it was on Epics.

Yeah. Great company. Great company. Who cares? Who gives a [ __ ] Yeah. Doesn't matter.

No, I know it does. It's all all of the back when I used to before I started selling them myself, I used to just find who wants this one and it

would be like Showtime or one was Epics, one was this. It just doesn't matter. No, they're all they're you're compiling

a library. But now you'll sell them yourself forever. You're never going to go to a thing again. You'll just do just you

now, right? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I I'd kind of like to be on a platform just to get more new

eyeballs on the work, maybe, but I don't know. We'll see. Also, plug the book. Oh yeah.

Do you have a copy of the book? Uh, no. Dude, this is so funny. You would never read it.

I have a library. Oh, you want it just in the Yeah, I have everyone's in the thing. You guys have a copy? They should have

sent you one. Yeah, Bobby has a copy. Well, no, honestly, where's my copy? I don't I literally don't have a cop. I handed it to you.

Yeah, he did hand it to you. Where is it? It's over here somewhere. It's got to be over here somewhere. Pile of books.

I have a pile of books over. I'm going to read it. I want to read it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, but I mean, you should show it to

people, right? Or something. I mean, I don't whatever, man. I have it. Where is the book? I have Star Trek the Next Generation

X-Men. I didn't write that. The Catholic Bible. Um, yeah. I don't know where it is, dude. Bring it up on the [ __ ] Bring it up

there. Bring it up on the [ __ ] thing. You know, that's probably Wait, my favorite thing is him getting mad.

It's your book. He gave it to you. I [ __ ] don't remember it. There it is. There it is, baby.

Ingram. Ingram. That's my new I just wrote that. That's about Rick Ingram from Chris

Rock. What is it about Ingram? It's about a little boy who's uh kicked out of his house when he was like nine

and he's just walking around Texas and he's alone and he's uh and he's and life gets really hard for him.

Like Chanty Gardner from being there. Yeah. But he's like much younger. Okay. Yeah. But Chanty Gardner, the character was a

young because he had had no influence except for television. So he was kind of a child.

Sure. Yeah. Well, that's not what this book's about. I know. One thing it's not it's not that's you going to be different.

Sure. If you want. Yeah. Yeah. It's about a guy named Chan Garden.

Yeah. If that's what you want. Fine. It's a little boy like kind of like Paris, Texas. He's kind of wandering.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know. Paris. Oh, yeah. Why are you doing that? I don't know. Just let him have the book.

Yeah. You're trying to shoehorn some other [ __ ] story into it. I mean, it's fine. It drives me nuts.

I was trying to sound intelligent. It's not working. It's a

Stop it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If I Now audio book. Why? Is there an audio book? Yeah. And are you doing the narration?

I read it. Yeah. Oh, that's great. That's I'll listen. I find it very odd when people don't read it. Yeah.

That wrote it. You wrote You wrote it. You read it. Well, I'm a performer. I perform, so I can do that. Some authors probably would

have a hard time doing It's hard. It's like really hard. It takes a couple weeks. Yeah. But I mean I think a lot of times

we find right that like like look at Stephen King like you know how bad Stephen King got off doing his reading.

Do you know what I mean? Like I think some of these guys they love to write but they're also like it's weird.

You want to hear me talk about it? Well it's weird when you read it because you're faced with what you wrote.

Yeah. So and you have to read it with all the you can't go like

Yeah. I kind of wanted to do a version like a whole version where I read it like or like or read it in like like

this or something like a whole the whole book in falsetto or something. Yeah, he's walking around the [ __ ] farm.

Yeah, he's walking around the farm. But anyway, yeah, but do you read it in paragraphs like and then you go cut you cut it there and

you go as far as you can go in one piece and then you keep and also somebody's there to keep stopping you cuz you [ __ ]

up a lot. All right. So, you have somebody going, "You got that wrong." Or tedious thing. Like when we do the movie. It's when we did the animated movie.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We did an animated movie where you where you give me notes where where you give me notes. I give him notes. I do give him notes

live. Every line he goes, "That's not how you say it." Well, and I'm like, "What?" He's like, "Well,"

and then you give me scenarios. Imagine this and this and they go, "Okay, I get it." Well, try to have him say, "Fakasha. It's [ __ ] fasha." Yeah. Well, he got

it there. We worked on your face in your [ __ ] face, dude. Now, we play these two little creatures, but we're bouncing a lot like we do on

the show. But we're bouncing, you know, it's like bouncing conversation and and sometimes he'll be, "Am I the worst?" No, no, no. Be honest. Am I the worst?

Shut up. No, but he's so good. But sometimes he'll be not in our conversation reading the characters if

it's existing in another space. I'm like, we're doing it. It's you and me. It's you and me. But when I do say that, you

do come back and you kill it. Am I wrong? No, thank you. Then we had to go do we had to go do extra and I left cuz I went

separate. And he goes, "How long did it take?" And I go, "Dude, it's 40 minutes. You're in and out." Yeah. He called me. And he's like, "Took me

two [ __ ] hours." I was like, "Cuz I was gone." But do you read it before? Because I I

haven't read it. So I'm showing up and I'm like, "I do not read it before." Oh, so you're good. No, it's just I just No, we just work

differently. Yeah, that's like a neurological difference. Yeah, it is. I just We just I just Yes.

Yes, it is. I just see things like that. Okay. With lines. With lines, do you have like a memory photo like Can you

memorize lines real fast? No. It takes me days, right? I can see it and do it right. I have this weird trick. I don't know why

I'm so lucky. But I've been someone that can just what your brain does. Eat it and th I can throw it right back out.

Wow. You know who they said used to do that? That was that Charlie Sheen. I don't know if you saw that documentary. We've talked about it because we love it. They

used to say John Crier would go, "This [ __ ] guy would never rehearse, would would be be on time on the nose, be

unprepared, and then look at it and go, I'm going to I'm going to Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Okay. Yeah. And get an entire two-page scene. Incredible. And not even it's just his brain had that digestion and regurgitation.

I used to just need like two two rehearsals to know it. Two and then Yeah. Cuz I need to reading it. I'm just

not It's not getting in, right? But if I wreck through it and kind of do this two takes. Yeah.

Then I then I know it cuz I lived the scene, right? So you don't memorize it in the night before.

That never did me any good. Me neither. It only stressed me out and it didn't do me any good. I was always bad at that. If I could do

it in the morning, if I read it right before I went there and then I got one run through, I would be like, "Okay, I I understand what I was I understand what

I didn't see." Because Well, and you do it in pieces. So, it's like when you're filming stuff, you just you you only have to worry about this

one scene and you do it a bunch of times from all these different angles. Yeah. And then you throw it away, it's gone.

So, you only have to worry about one thing at a time when you're filming stuff. Can I tell you my favorite scene from your show that to this day I watch all

the time, like over and over? Okay. Is it the art room? That's my favorite scene. It's my favorite scene in the whole world

with you and Pam Adlon and the press the button. It says press. It's my favorite scene, dude.

I love that. Just be here's and let me dude and let me ask you let me ask you something because I get nerded out on

those scenes. I'll rewind a scene like it's J it's J big J Oerson's voice if that's what you're gonna

It is. It is J Big J Oerson. Yeah. Hope I'm not getting him in trouble. I mean I asked

him to do it. I said I I wrote him and I said, "Can you please say this word like

for, you know, to choose one like five times into your phone and text it to me and

I'll send you a, you know, check for SAG check." That's so he said, "Sure."

And he did it and it's in there on the first on the first take. Yeah.

Pam turns her shoulder and walks away. Yeah. She just like Yeah. But is it did she It's an organic laugh that you can

hear in the audio. I don't think like she laughs. Yeah. As she walked away, but I don't think

she meant to laugh. She doesn't really laugh. She kind of goes like like I hear she goes okay. I hear her say

okay. She Did you surprise? Was it a surprise when she first heard it or you guys had already No, we knew what

Oh god. It would have been so [ __ ] funny if it was surprise. I wanted it so bad to be like cuz we cuz I like there's

a scene there's a scene that I've nerded out like this about that I'll loop is in baskets.

Yeah. Um and I know you could tell he knows that scene cuz I've watched it a 100 [ __ ] times. But Louis is drinking a

Gatorade. Yes. Your scene that scene it's the exact same comedy feeling in my soul where I

go this is so fun and they knew it was fun. Oh dude. So I remember that day really well

because so when when we set up Zach's show Yeah. Um, we had this meeting, me and him, and

I don't remember who else was there, but um, I started asking him about, we were just

trying to decide what the show's about, and like it was just Zach, a show for Zach. And I was working at FX and I had

a show that was successful and I said, I want to make a different, another show. So, they're like, all right. And and I

went to Zach first because nobody ever made me laugh that hard as Zach did. So, anyway, when we sat and talked about

what his show would be about, this is we had already made a deal. he's going to have a show. Um I was like, "Well, what

if your what if you have family in it?" You know, and I and um he So, we're talking about I said, "What's your

mother? What about your mother if you had a mother?" And he goes, "Yeah, maybe." And I go, "What's your mother really like in real life?" And he goes, "She's

always like, "Sack," and I and I just said, "Your mother's

Louis Anderson." And uh we all laughed and then there was this pause

and I said, "What if we get Louis Anderson to play your mother?" And he was like, "Why does that sound

like such a good idea?" Like it just was immediate like what a crazy idea. And that's how it came about cuz I was making a flip joke.

And then I was like, "This is I I enjoyed this part of the work. I was like I just got on the phone and said,

"Get Louis Anderson on the phone." I don't know him that way. We've met in person a bunch of times. I always liked him, but I didn't have a relationship

with him. But I just said, "Get me Louis Anderson on the phone." A few minutes later, I get this call from Louis in his

car and he goes, "Hi." I go, "Hi, Louis. It's Louis CK." Yeah. So, I'm making a

show for FX and Zach Alfanakis is the star of the show. We're doing a pilot. Okay. And I go, "Oh, we have a part and

it's a substantial part for you. The thing is, we want you to play Zach's mother." And I just hear the sound

inside the car. And he goes, "I love it."

Wow. And it felt like this. We didn't know what he would do. We gave him the job. There was no nothing written and

there was no it was just that day we gave him the job. We made a deal, right? It was like, "No, we're doing that." So,

I didn't know how it was going to work out. And I didn't know how what Zach. So, Zach hired John uh

Chrysler. Chrysler. Yeah. Chrysler. Uh uh uh what's wrong with me? Please look it up. Direct

Jonathan Jonathan Chrysler. Chrysler. Yeah. Chrysler. Chrysler. Jonath Chrysler. I don't know say it.

Jonathan Chrysle had done this show Portlandia which is one of my favorite things ever. It's awesome. And uh he just had this way of setting

up improv, setting up setting this a scene for two characters. He knew how to

shoot it, how to get how to shoot it well and how to just make it happen. So these guys just I went after this one

meeting where we talked about everything. I kind of went away and let them make the show. And then I showed up that day and there's Louis Anderson in a

dress and I'm like, we're really doing this, huh? Wow. And I'm like, I don't know what what is the character? What

are you guys doing? And I sat and watched them shoot that scene which just happened. There was nothing to it.

Yeah. They had something to argue about that he doesn't respect his being a clown, right? And Martha, that was like an

introduction from And then there was this obsession with this Gatorade. When that moment happened, I remembered I had just

arrived a few minutes before with the Gatorade and that hits the spot. I was like I was like, "What are we do? This

is incredible. This is incredible." And Louis and I got to really love Louis. We got to know each other much

better. Yeah. And then he won a [ __ ] Emmy. And it was such a glorious thing that Louis cuz

I loved him when I was a young comic and he's such a sweet and good guy. I used to open for him. struggled with his

health, you know, it was really sad when he when he passed away, but uh but yeah, I was it was one

of the happiest moments of my career was him winning an Emmy. Wow. That was such a beautiful thing cuz the

way he did he that character was fantastic throughout the season. Two seasons. Great. [ __ ] great. I was

I did a show on FX called Dave with Little Dicky and when I was on the show I was like in love with Basket so much

and I was like hey I'll I'll I don't want to get paid like can I just do a

anything in the thing? I just was like I'll do an anything any and they were and they were like dude they got to stop

asking like cuz I kept asking my agent I was like just tell them I'll [ __ ] it. They were like they don't want Does that work if people if if talent

asks? No but they said they don't they were like usually Yeah. cuz I've asked so many times. They're like, "Nah, it's not

going to happen." I was like, "I don't even want lines. I just want to be in like a background, the Burger King. I want I really wanted

to be at the Burger King." And I was like, "Just let me be in the thing." And they're like, "They don't want like an actor comic." They were like, "They're not looking for that.

You're not You're in the wrong." I was like, "I just want to be in the back." Yeah. No, you wouldn't have been right for it. I know. See, that's right. There you go.

That's right. He was like, "No, you can't do it, dude." So, when people go like my agents try to

track projects. Yeah. Yeah. Like when Crazy Rich Asians were happening like we're tracking this for

you. We're putting your your name in the past, you know, and it's like it never I couldn't even get an audition at the end

of the day. No. Yeah. It doesn't none of that works. No. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think it's good if you're trying to be an actor, you go in for a

lot of stuff because they remember you. You go you just do the best version of

you. Yeah. At the audition and then you just are memorable. It doesn't matter getting that part,

you know? Like if you read something and you're like, "That's not my kind of guy." And you try to be it, you're going to suck. So you just do a weird your

version of it, right? And they'll go, "Uh, that guy was good. He's not he can't do this, but that guy." And they'll remember. I mean, I've

cast a lot of things in my past with people that I've seen in other stuff that or that I've seen in in stuff that

I had them cast, you know, come in for. So go in for everything. Go in for everything and do any part you

get. I say no. Cuz that's where you know agents don't get you work. No.

No. They're terrible people. Terrible. I'm They just They are They're terrible people. They're terrible people.

Absolutely worthless people. Some of the worst ever. They give some of the worst advice. They're snakes. They've set you up for something and then when it goes

bad, they're not there to back you up. They're the worst. I think they I think they're just they're just uh terrible pigs.

They're they're out of they're pigs. They're out of their depth a little or they're not in the they're in the wrong

business or something. I hate them. They're on the backs of us. They stink. Yeah, I can't wait to fire mine. I'm done with the business forever anyway.

Whoa, dude. Why would you be done with the business? Yeah, me too. We're out, dude.

We're the last show in Hollywood. This is it. I think we're the last. Yeah. Over.

It's dying. It's dying. That's a shame. You do a movie.

And the And the book, by the way, is available literally everywhere. Please go. Yeah. You can pre-order it now on all

the things. All the things. all the things. And it'll be out November 11th. November 11th. My first novel.

It's the first one. Yeah. I wrote another one after that. I still working on. I mean, I finished a

draft of it. I'm Did you get like a book deal where they give you a two book deal? You know, they do this thing. It's a weird like give

them a deal and then they then they make people write another book even if they didn't want. No, no, I didn't get any kind of deal

like that. I just I just uh wrote this one good to see what would happen. And I sent it out and this company Ben Bella

in Texas is publishing it. It's just a little company. Ben Bella. Ben Bella. Did you find them? They found you.

I got a book agent and he's a really smart guy and he found uh found them. He

he'd worked with them on other stuff. They don't do much fiction. Ah. Wow. Uh but it's PR it's it's distributed by

Simon and Schustster. So that's that's who sells it. Oo. But I didn't get a book deal from them.

It's like I just I didn't I haven't been paid anything. I I just wrote it and they're putting it out. We'll see what

we make together. But I don't have an advance or anything. That's a good deal. We'll see what we make together. I liked it that way. I don't like the

thing of like like when you when I book on the road and stuff. Agents like to get advances cuz they

found, you know, hey, we got you the money. Yeah. Yeah. But all you're doing is betting against yourself and like the

last thing you want to do is like take a bunch of money from somebody and then you didn't do well and then you're like,

haha. You know, you want people to sort of have a good experience of you. So yeah, cuz you're a big crowdwork guy.

Clips. You're big. You started Crowdwork Cliff. Can you imagine?

Yeah, that was my innovation. That was that was Lou. Big crowdwork clip guy. You were the first on TikTok

to do it as far as concerned. Yeah, that's right. I saw most of your I just saw it. I saw it as a new way

and here I am. Thank God. I would love to see Does that annoy you? Like these crowd work guys on doing clips on TikTok?

I mean, it's the they got what they got from it. Yeah, it's fine. It's It's fine. It works for them.

Good for them. I don't care. I don't as a I love standup. I don't enjoy watching

that. Yeah. Also, when I see friends of mine do it, I It's like you're killing in the

moment, but no one's going to remember it. Yeah. And you're not building anything. That's But I have a different goal than them.

They just want to run their numbers up and they want to get whatever. Yeah. And also a lot of people it pleases them a lot. People really

People like it. Yeah. So if an audience if someone's enjoying it, they're right. Yes.

And the person who doesn't like it is just it's none of their business. If you don't like something, it's none of your business as long as somebody likes it.

If nobody likes it forever, someone needs to someone needs to talk to the

But you know what? If literally no one ever liked a comic ever doing anything, that'd be pretty [ __ ] incredible.

I want to see this. That is cool. Like David Tell had this I don't think he ever did it more than once that I

saw. He said, "If you tell somebody you have uh a small penis, if you tell a

woman you have a small penis, she won't be interested. But if you tell her you have the smallest penis in the whole world,

she's going to want it."

Yeah. He's he's one of my favorites of unbelievable that guy. Yep. Who's the guy who's the guy that

you that you really have like a comedy crush on that you're like, "Oh, I love the [ __ ] way that that person works."

Uh these days? Yeah. I mean, that used to be Zach for me. I used to put my head on the table and

cry. Yeah. Uh Todd Glass has always made me laugh like that. So funny. Just [ __ ] destroys me.

Yeah. Uh Jim Norton, who I've been working with lately, just also really kills me. Yeah. There's a lot of guys I really love. Um,

but that kind of like I can't believe it. Yeah. Todd Glass. I mean, I I don't know if it's okay to do other people's bits, but

I'm You say it's Todd naming him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He did. Should we call them? We'll get approval. Yeah. He did this thing about uh um the

lady a lady next to him on an airplane has Reese's cups and she's taking one out and she looks at him looking at him

and she goes, "Do you want one?" And he goes, "I want both."

and he did some clip. I don't know if you can find it, but it was during the pandemic. He did some fake commercial, I

think, on maybe Instagram or something where he's showing you how you can pee outside.

Uh, but he's uh he's he puts a just a bag like a shopping like a plastic bag

over his head and he just stands near a bush and he just starts pissing his

pants. It's completely [ __ ] nuts.

So, he and I haven't seen him for a long time, but he's always been he's always been a guy that destroys me.

We love him. Yeah. He was doing a bunch of fake cop bits that were very funny. Do you remember that little run he had for a while of

like getting fake pulled over? He used to do a bit with breakaway glass bottles. Uh like fantasy of like

breaking. So he'd be it's him walking down the street with like a beer bottle and there's some teenage girls and one

of them gives him like a typical teenage girl like e and he goes over and he

Yeah, he was he was pretty great. He's the one right now. All right. Look, the the advice was good. I learned so much today. Lou, did you

have fun here? Of course I did. It was really fun. I wanted to do the show cuz you guys have a great energy. It

was fun and I had a great time. Well, we we listen, we love you. It's not going to sell a single one of my books. No, no, no, no. Our fan. No,

concerned. I'm being real. I mean, I um
