00:00:00
Nate Bazi Dana is a great standup uh just climbing up very fast not quite a household name but very close he's uh selling out all over the
00:00:12
place and killing unbelievable so here we are this is kind of a cool episode for us because Nate just did site live crushed
00:00:23
it and uh we're getting him a couple days later so I bet he's still kind of flying from the experience that would be normal so we we uh we get to check in
00:00:33
with all that stuff it's really fun check his pulse check a step counter yeah did yeah was there regret I mean when you hosted I remember you'd call me and I I would just hear whimpering and I
00:00:46
said David you did fine you crushed it and then I go did you see it you go no but I heard you did mango but we'll get
00:00:54
into that you did mango and you did that's when you got the you had like a mini skirt on or something that's where
00:01:00
you had high heels and yes anyway but Nate Prat is here I would listen to this if I were you and I'm talking to you David I'd listen mostly even just to
00:01:12
hear me no this Nate's a really nice guy we had a great time talking to him yeah maybe he'll be a prick on this change
00:01:18
things [Music] up you know Dana I was G to say I uh every time I do a corporate I think I
00:01:30
follow I follow you big when you do because it's there's the amount of people doing corporates there's like
00:01:36
five of us that are doing them well uh this it's your time now but you know what there's a lot of tricks tricks I use you know I read their website I get their vernacular and I pretend that I'm
00:01:48
an expert whether it's a tech company or anything I'm there actually get some on my side but they can be chilly right I
00:01:55
mean even you was got one of the best acts out there right now for sure I mean is it tough for you to do corporate or you're pretty much I do I mean I just do what I'm doing my ACT being clean so uh
00:02:08
but they can be it really just matters the setup it's setup how you're introduced and I they're not as you know
00:02:16
when you get to a a level where they can be you know it's like the stage is nice
00:02:22
and some places they can be really good uh yeah and but then yes some can be they're far away from you or they can't
00:02:28
hear you or yeah can't hear you or I was recently played corporate in Hawaii and
00:02:35
it was like at 10:30 night driving win Outdoors on a little tiny stage and there was like 20 of them scattered a
00:02:42
lot of empty seats kind of hung over and looking at me so I brought the CEO out of the audience just to riff with him
00:02:49
because I don't really I wish I when I see someone like you or Jerry Seinfeld or David Spade who has just this great
00:02:56
material you know I'm up there dancing for my money you know got it you know I I just want to ask you
00:03:02
this question because I was curious about that so you've got your tour and all your standup dates and so okay you
00:03:08
go your home you're get you're resting and then someone calls and says there's this corporate date and you're like well I just got off the road I don't want to do it and then they come back with more
00:03:19
and more and more and eventually it gets to a cartoon number where you feel like you have to go or is that or you can you
00:03:27
are you in the place where like okay I'm off I don't care calls uh you would yeah I mean you still
00:03:33
I mean I'm not now I'm on the road but it's uh like next year in the fall I'm taken off next the fall next year 24
00:03:45
yeah a year from now yeah the tour goes all the way to June or July yeah yeah I got tap no special uh and then I'll take a special then I'll be off from like
00:03:57
next this time next fall to whatever may you know some of 25 and then do another
00:04:03
one I saw I looked at your side I saw your dates and I was interesting that you like Brian Regan before you you're clean really clean and hilarious so you
00:04:14
do an afternoon show and you could do a second show but what I was curious about
00:04:19
is like your monologue on SNL is that can that be in your next special or is that in your mind you can't use it no I think I will I mean it's in my now with
00:04:31
with SNL thing I mean I you know I got to go I'm going to Poria Wednesday and then Chicago so uh that's yeah and so I'll I'll be doing it I have other stuff
00:04:43
surrounding that so it'll be you know I was worried about it like all right is it going to be burnt like if it depends
00:04:51
on what how it does too uh you know if it would got so crazy but I mean I think people want to see that stuff live and it's all attached to a bigger chunk so uh I wasn't I kind of got over at
00:05:03
first I was worried about it then I kind of got over it uh just thinking like it was going to be burnt and be like you
00:05:09
know it's like doing a late night set where you're like here's just a taste of what my hours you know I get people give
00:05:15
me uh flak sometimes like oh you did oh that was all new stuff I mean I saw some
00:05:21
of it on Ellen and I'm like well some of these bits are like fatter since cuz you
00:05:27
do a talk show you're just coming up with that week or just throw something together and then you stumble into something you like and then you you make
00:05:34
it into a bigger chunk and it gets better and sharper but most people don't mind hearing some stuff you've done before because that's part of the fun and I think one problem with some Comics
00:05:46
is they go on and they go special tour special tour and the specials get a little softer because there's almost no
00:05:52
way to to grind it out that fast to make it that good like you're like do I where's my whole bit where's my bit about this where's my tried and true Killers do I have that on this hour I I
00:06:06
feel that way sometimes I'm like [ __ ] I miss some of those ones that would just key rush you know yeah yeah there it's
00:06:14
uh you know like I I think I do a special probably every two years or I have been uh this last one I had to
00:06:21
build up really fast and everything's been kind of going so fast so it's been uh but that's why I'm G take off next I got I need to live a as normal of a life as I can to come up with material like
00:06:34
you just gotta you know that's why you have so much material when you first start because you're you're not as busy
00:06:40
so you're doing regular stuff and and then you get your bits yeah yeah and that's yeah that's true all your bits
00:06:45
are about being on the road yeah yeah airplanes flying airplanes flying and about the money gun he takes when he sprays it like he's Travis Scott a strip club he's like that's what he does
00:06:59
that's how you should open now you have so much money just spray just like you have one of your openers just go buy
00:07:04
hundreds from the bank and then you reload it you come out with the wheelbarrow yeah this what this is this
00:07:11
what fit in our bus so we got to get rid of some of it yeah it's he the money in your bus is making it so heavy you have
00:07:17
to get rid of something well yeah I mean it's uh it's always a curiosity you know I'm a celebrity net worth guy so I'm always fascinated by people like you for the
00:07:28
first time I mean i s 2017 you did a half hour special you're growing you're growing you're growing you're doing
00:07:35
these specials you're getting bigger bigger bigger so where are you now on the surreality of this coming off of SNL
00:07:42
it just seems like the last five years was the big you were you're famous you're doing great but then it just went
00:07:48
whoosh right I mean bigger bigger rooms when did it start when did you first you want me to play what and how many seats
00:07:55
uh it was yeah is after the standups the half hour on Netflix that was like when I started like clubs
00:08:02
and people were kind of coming out and they and I knew they knew me so but I was like starting to sell out clubs and uh that was kind of moving forward then after the Tennessee kid was kind of
00:08:14
we're kind of out of clubs kind of moving to theaters and going in that direction and then you know when you're
00:08:20
in a theater you kind of know that everybody's there to see it because it's a usually I mean it's more of a it's not
00:08:27
just people going to that club every week yeah yeah yeah so it's like once that then that the Tennessee kid like
00:08:34
that happened in the greatest Savage American like uh Co that was during Co and so outdoors I did outdoor I remember that one I did the drive-in theaters and
00:08:45
uh you know the outdoor one I mean that helped just being putting a special out during that time I think was a giant
00:08:52
thing because so many people watched it uh and started this podcast that I do and uh uh so it's like I just kind of kept as busy as you could be with under the circumstances it's the most I ever
00:09:04
worked was Coen uh I go just only indoors uh but you can't Tour on that special unfortunately like you can't jump on it like I did the wrong Missy and it was like I celebrated in my own
00:09:16
house eating a pot pie because I couldn't leave they go your movie is number one in the world I'm like great I
00:09:22
I there's nothing I came even go to a restaurant and have dinner and just we were wide open so I we celebrated uh oh
00:09:30
yeah you and I'm in stupid California we're still on lock down dude I'm not I'm not supposed to do podcast yeah that's how I doing all Zoom I have to report to the governor if I if I leave
00:09:42
my room right now I have no script I'm just full transparency right now I am not acting from a script I'm making up everything I say in real time if sag is listening oh if sag is listening that's
00:09:55
right sag is listening I'm not we are not on a script no matter matter how witty and fun this podcast has been so
00:10:01
far listeners we are not this is not yeah written everything I say sounds like it's written by professional comedy writers but I'm not I'm just talking it's all tight so I I'm just
00:10:15
curious because I I you're like um so unflappable on stage everyone says that right and it's so comfortable to watch you because you never seem to you're
00:10:26
just telling a story and then you have so many laugh points points stacking and stacking but internally having this
00:10:33
happen to you these it's just five six years and your marriage and your friends and your sister Abigail we met and stuff
00:10:40
I mean do you have a nervous place or because now you're coming out like ladies and gentlemen Nate you know
00:10:46
because I feel pressure there was a point where I'm going to the club to workout material get ready to fasten
00:10:52
your laugh safety belts he's bringing it tonight you know it's like do you feel pressure at all or you just feel Joy or
00:10:59
what are you or are you numb uh no you do you feel like you got to live up to the expectations that they
00:11:05
have when they come uh I don't want to fall off like I don't want to be uh doing shows and they're just and my jokes are good for my crowd and then you know because I think that's when people
00:11:18
can it kind of starts going away is like if you're if you don't realize it and then you're just doing jokes that like
00:11:25
are for your audience they laugh at it because they love you but you're never ever going to you know you don't you're
00:11:31
not a great new customers yeah you want to that's why I mean SNL that's why this was such a big
00:11:38
kind of thing because I was going in front of an audience that is the op you know it's like not there to see you
00:11:45
they're not there to see me and there most people when I got picked to host most people are like I don't no one
00:11:51
knows who I am yeah a lot of people were mad yeah yeah people are upset they're like who do this guy think he is uh I
00:11:59
was I was I was just in a bad mood for a couple days I don't know it's nothing personal no but what I was in Chiles and
00:12:05
people were pissed they were just talking about at the table next to me who is this Nate for [ __ ] is going
00:12:15
on I just want to know about the call the phone call was it was it a slow build or did it hit you like really I
00:12:22
mean I knew they they came to a show in uh uh or I knew I knew I was like on the
00:12:29
radar like my agents told me and I mean this was probably a few months ago I would say it's this year uh because it was yeah I would say it was this year
00:12:40
and so I knew it was like on I was on the radar somewhat maybe this summer actually uh and then you know didn't
00:12:48
think much about it and then uh then then my agent or manager they say like you know they're like you know I don't jinx it but I mean you might be able to do it and I knew after after that Lauren
00:12:59
you know CU we met Lauren at melan's birthday party me and or I met him there for the first time was spade and uh I didn't like I didn't Lauren didn't you
00:13:10
know I shook his hand but I didn't he didn't talk to me or say like oh hey like it was I knew he didn't watch my
00:13:16
special up at that point and then after that is when he watched the last special hello world and then uh so I knew he
00:13:23
liked that special and then that's when I I kind of heard maybe October 28th was going to be the date and so he was like
00:13:29
kind of getting real but then he was like well maybe not and so then it was like you know he just kind of one of
00:13:35
those you're like maybe dinner at dinner Lauren pulled me aside he goes David who's the guy eating the
00:13:42
lasagna and I go oh that's Nate he goes the way he twists his Fork I bet he could host I think he's got that certain something that's that that's Lauren he's UNF flappable when you meet him and he
00:13:54
checks in with former cast members I got the call um do you think he has what a takes I I think so I think it's a good
00:14:01
move I think it's a change up a new host um I think about were you scared about the sketches or did you weren't that worried about it uh yeah no I was and
00:14:12
they were you know I mean I I hit you up I I was like trying to ask everybody it's like I didn't know the Q cards and you know I mean you realize like being on TV I'm not on T you know it's like I
00:14:24
don't I'm not on TV I'm on I do a special and you got like wear the lights on to be like well that camera's on all
00:14:30
this kind of stuff that well you control your whole special too you get to pick and choose how it is what do you look
00:14:36
like what you wear yeah so it was you know that kind of stuff I mean I was excited I was very excited the whole
00:14:42
week I was very excited I got very nervous toing dress rehearsal uh not dress rehearsal the uh the the uh run
00:14:49
through on Saturday with no audience that one I was like kind of cuz I remember like looking I mean we did the
00:14:55
washingon sketch when we ran it the first time I mean dude I'm looking the opposite of every camera on the planet I
00:15:03
mean I I don't even know what lights are you know I don't know how to know which one's on and I mean I'm just like
00:15:10
following the wrong you know the wrong thing do you wear your wig that in the daytime I can't remember Dana you wear your all your [ __ ] they would they would at least put them halfway on
00:15:21
probably some of a costume yeah during the afternoon and you're just walking through sketches and it's getting real
00:15:27
for the first time that was what the most I was so nervous then because it's you still don't have an audience and uh
00:15:36
you're just like you know you're like you're kind of in it we're changing the blocking a little bit I uh that sketch
00:15:42
was probably going to get cut to be honest because I didn't because leading up to it you know like doing when you're doing the read script table reads and all that stuff I you know I'm not I'm
00:15:54
just reading the stuff I'm not like all into it like you feel I feel dumb like I'm not used to doing this I want an
00:16:00
audience to perform for and so I'm kind of just like you know doing it and I mean the George watch sketch was on it was last it was the last sketch we did
00:16:10
for dress it was the last one and we just figured it but then once we did it live
00:16:16
I I like got way into more my I was kind of rushed uh leading up to it with no audience because there's no La you know there's nothing to really I'm so used there's a couple crew laughs yeah a
00:16:28
couple crew laughs and I'm used to doing standups I'm used to like yeah my timing
00:16:35
is based off the laughs yeah and uh so when there's not you know when you're just in there with each other it's I
00:16:41
don't I don't fake it great and so everyone feels that way I mean it you get lose confidence and then but what happened in the the practice show the dress show like you that compared to the
00:16:55
air show the air show was still you felt like was the peak of how you performed it uh yeah I would
00:17:02
say they were both Bas basically the same during the before the dress rehearsal with the audience before an
00:17:08
audience got there I was very quick on everything my timing was very fast uh you know Higgins was like telling me helping me with that like I was just very like kind of just I would say it I
00:17:20
wouldn't be so much into it and then during dress rehearsal it's last we assume I mean I found this afterwards
00:17:26
but I think they assume it's going to get and then I just did I just sat in my rhythm and I was able to pace and I
00:17:33
would kind of let the laugh calm down then I would deliver the line uh and that just helped it so much the chef
00:17:40
show was even better too because of because of the live audience yeah it's a lot of time I thought they did a good
00:17:46
job writing for your style so to speak but but you landed it so hard especially in the Washton one where you're timing you're pausing there is a Charisma to it
00:17:57
it was very it was an inter interesting because I when I first started watching watching it I had no idea how hard it
00:18:03
was going to kill you know but it just like popped you had a good crowd too not to say you weren't good but sometimes
00:18:09
you get crowds there and you see people that are doing great stuff and you're like you know what I mean you go you
00:18:15
just do not want to be on one of those nights where there is not Dana you know what I'm talking about oh sometimes you
00:18:21
just get a dead audience I think Halloween shows tend to be slightly more festive and I think having Christopher
00:18:27
Walkins show up in the beginning jacked everyone up and then and then your monologue you know sometimes is not so
00:18:34
good you know and you're killed so then the audience is really happy they got to see walking they're relaxed with you
00:18:41
they're happy to see you and then there you go let me jump in Dana Nate uh I have to say when I watch a stand up over the years you have um which is kind of
00:18:53
unique to not every comic your crowd is very good and discipline they definitely
00:19:00
when I watch even mostly you know Tik Tok and I see that stuff on Instagram these it's like one bit at a time you
00:19:05
know but they laugh at all the setups they're they're quiet they listen to everything they know there's some gold
00:19:12
on the way and then they you you're sort of the payoffs are like almost one or two and then you get out but I I was
00:19:20
jealous sometimes because if I take a pause sometimes I'm on the road they start yelling Joe Dirt [ __ ] they start
00:19:25
you know they get Rowdy especially the bigger crowd and you have bigger crowds and and you know the thousands of people
00:19:32
it's hard to keep them all shut up and they're really into it I think that's great that you have that crowd and it
00:19:39
seemed like that was on SNL they they would let you pause they'll let you do your style they'll hang on it and then
00:19:45
they appreciate the throwaway jokes on the way which is yeah great I mean it's I think uh you know I don't really ever talk to the crowd I don't know crowd work and so doing that stuff like I
00:19:57
never have done done it and I don't have videos of me doing it that helps because then no one you know I don't it doesn't
00:20:03
look like you don't push yeah people don't go oh this guy likes that's what's ruining standup is all these people
00:20:09
posting stuff with crowd work and then they go oh so they like it when you get involved like no they just don't want to
00:20:16
show their real act on Tik Tok so they're just making up [ __ ] just to get you in the club to see their Real ACT but people think oh they like it when I interject at the punchline they
00:20:28
think that's the show and so then you know when they see that stuff it's it's not like you train your it's just they're you they're they're seeing what they see and they go oh that's what this
00:20:39
guy does he does this and he does an act or not an act so they were able to I mean I was like there was they
00:20:46
I had a couple plause breaks I think during it where I was trying to like one towards the end the Pearl Harbor joke
00:20:52
and I knew would get a laugh where I say every history movie I watch I watch on the edge of my seat what is going to
00:20:58
happen now sometimes that can get an Applause but I have that I have like one the last line so I was like that one I
00:21:03
was trying to stay on top of a little bit just to I didn't want to you know do a whole Applause it's like they kind of
00:21:11
clapped and I kind of just like was like kind of like all right just hold on one second like just let me get this last
00:21:18
yeah thing out because it was like I wanted to end on that last you know sometimes when you can have you can almost have two good jokes at the end
00:21:25
and you're like all right if I if the first one does great I don't really care if I do just bail yeah just bail but
00:21:30
this one I knew I was like well I want to do it so I was trying to kind of stay on them so I didn't go to a completely
00:21:38
flat I I didn't want to go all the way flat again to go back up what about I thought you get out of the reading joke
00:21:44
because it was so funny I'm like that was such a great run I could have I mean I thought you know I knew I had a couple
00:21:51
that I I I could it's that Pearl the I don't know it's like the PE Harbor joke was just I knew I just know that I've been doing that for a while so it's like
00:22:01
it's just a very easy like I know it's going to work and it's like short and it's like I can just say it and then
00:22:08
boom and yeah you followed a a good joke with a good joke which is hard because I thought [ __ ] how do you follow that
00:22:14
reading joke and then you did another one so that was a long monolog too how long was it that's you know obviously it's going to be longer because it's you
00:22:21
um how long do you think it went like 10 9 9:25 I think they told me cuz I kept asking I was I was 10:05 live at dress
00:22:29
rehearsal and then I changed some stuff up and I added uh I added one the hotel shower thing yeah I did not do a dress rehearsal and I added it and I took out
00:22:42
well I think it just set up the 1900 thing a little bit better and I mean I've been doing all this stuff on the road I mean the hardest part was the
00:22:49
beginning of the week having to change you know I haven't done a short set like that in a long time and so you're you
00:22:56
know when you're used to doing an hour hour it's like your rhythm is longer and all this stuff so then I had to kind of
00:23:02
come back and I did a bunch of spots to get back into that New York short set Rhythm tight a [ __ ] tight 10 and it's
00:23:08
the most valuable 10 you got to do you know when I did it Dana um hey you can listen to this too but uh when I did it
00:23:15
the uh I had when I hosted the first time Sandler was in my opening monogue just
00:23:22
CU it was like oh he's there let's just use him because it's funny and he was going to be asking questions you know
00:23:29
question monologues are usually pretty easy they do it with hosts that have no skills I guess that's why I did it but
00:23:35
but I could have done a a standup one but I it was me and Sandler going at it he was playing this nerdy guy kept asking me questions that trip me up oh
00:23:42
yes one more question real quick and so the the day of the show I'm obviously nervous and they said oh Adam he had to fly back because he's doing water boy
00:23:53
open this weekend at crush he's got to go back and do something back in LA and I'm like oh [ __ ] what's my monologue and
00:23:59
I go and Lauren goes just do standup and I'm like well yeah I don't even do standup that much like and I can't
00:24:05
practice at all so yeah I did uh you know I think two long bits together right they're kind of long ones but that was it when Martin lawen and it worked out but uh it was scary to never
00:24:18
practice that was one point and then I don't know if Dana was there for Martin Lawrence but he a I was asking your time
00:24:24
because I think in rehearsal it was five and on air it was 12 oh wow and you know
00:24:29
shit's getting thrown out they're like you know you're you're walking the hallway here Gap girls is cut you're like after the monologue because usually
00:24:37
usually in the middle of the show you're getting like 20 minutes to one and you're like [ __ ] if this if this
00:24:42
audience is this good it's going to spread and then we're not going to have time for a final sketch in 86 but he
00:24:50
went so long we were all like oh my God I think it was Martin right yeah and uh but that's fun anyway you had a great monologue I me interupt that great monologue quick change that Hallmark uh
00:25:02
movie about Killers was that earlier in the show later in the show because it was pretty early for a
00:25:08
pre-tape uh yeah it was uh they moved it yeah so like when I did because that's thing we were like nine minutes over he was saying so like it's crazy like
00:25:19
Lauren uh you go up and like he's you're in there in the meetings like on the Sting the show and the whole time I'm
00:25:25
there I'm like I want to be like hey I've not done like if they look at me I'm like you're like I you know you're
00:25:31
scared to say something you you don't realize like you actually can say the Washington sketch I think I said I liked
00:25:38
it and and Lauren knew I liked it because it was it basically was all me uh and I was like I knew like oh I'll be
00:25:45
able to get into this uh but uh it was you don't realize like how much you say you kind of do have you know I mean obviously it's their decision but so some of you just sitting there and they go and I was like I'll cut cut some of
00:25:58
my monologue and but he didn't want to he was like no no we you know CU he knew I was being introduced to so many people that people are tuning in for that too yeah yeah and uh so I was at 10 I was at
00:26:11
10 minutes there and then I got it down to 9 it was 9:25 when we taped which made me happy because I was afraid I
00:26:18
didn't want to like just blow like do that blow up the whole show I get off and someone's like you did 16 minutes
00:26:25
and then five sketch there's no light right you don't get light oh there's nothing it's it's it's just what does
00:26:32
your Q card look like when you're doing your monologue I just BL bullet points no you have bullet points I had bullet
00:26:38
points uh I just had like my like a set list and I just wrote the set list and uh just because it's like I'm doing like you know these jokes are so many different places in my act right oh
00:26:50
you're jumping it's not normal it's not yeah it's not a normal way so I had them I just wrote out but we change we had
00:26:57
the thing listed and then I rewrote a set list for the uh taping show I was going to lose the afron joke but then uh Lauren was like no I like the AF joke
00:27:08
and then he goes I think you should do it you go I'm gonna lose it and he goes yeah I'll I'll do yeah yeah I'll do
00:27:16
whatever I see the qar guy wall is like drenched and sweat he's got this 19 minute
00:27:23
monologue he did Wally had to hold up two cards uh because it was it was 16 like I had like 16 lines and you know I just didn't want to get lost up there
00:27:35
was there anything more terrifying in standup than that standup or was it like one of your big gigs at Bridgestone or
00:27:41
something was there anything there is that was that more casual no no this one was the the most because I mean I'm you
00:27:49
know I mean I've done it now for 20 years so like you're at least doing something you know the most but you know
00:27:54
it's like it's not you know I mean dude like not to say I just did some Arena like I mean I just came off of I I I
00:28:02
went from Oklahoma City with the Thunder play and I was in that Arena Sunday to Saturday live so like it's I mean when you're in those big Arenas you're just
00:28:13
muring and it's just it's just like you're you're just in this big kind of like flowing and all this so then when you go switch it to this you're like dude am I bombing like you can't
00:28:26
sometimes you know when I went yeah I felt it uh you got to talk to you got to look no's going to tell you I'm
00:28:32
your friend I'm telling you it's about 150 is it 200 people in there yeah 200 people it's pretty microscopic when you walk in yeah it doesn't feel like a big room it would be a room that you'd be
00:28:43
like completely fine with except that it's you know what's I mean you can see yourself on the Monitor and I'm just
00:28:49
seeing that's gross well I'm seeing Saturday night L like the most famous backdrop ever behind me and I'm standing
00:28:57
there and you're kind of like you start to lose your place yeah you're like I mean what is this dude like uh you don't
00:29:03
want the band not to laugh at you the band was laughing that's good how did you like they're fixing your hair or
00:29:10
whatever and then you just come out when that music plays it's and then you're walking down to your spot that's and then you got your first laugh because that is sort of it's just nerve-wracking
00:29:22
and I I've been on the show for seven years but hosting it and them okay and you get long it's just weird yeah you go
00:29:29
they uh they tell you to hit the mark he's like make sure you hit the mark they kept saying that and you're like
00:29:36
you know usually it's like here's the Mark it's like fine and they're like make sure you hit this Mark not even
00:29:41
that big a deal and then he goes thank you can't you say thank you very much when the when the guy does like he does
00:29:47
like that on the behind the camera and then you go all right and then I then they hand me the microphone and then I
00:29:54
start my set and then you know you're thinking about tooo when I get done uh I you know when I get done I
00:30:01
gotta be like all right I Gotta Throw a sh you know I've never done like a we'll be right back stay tuned you you're used
00:30:08
to taking a 100 bows did you did you carry a mic or did you was that a was that a discussion they handed it to me I
00:30:15
mean but did you say I could do without a mic you'd rather to use no no I said I want a
00:30:21
mic and then for people are listening right as soon as you finish the monologue you can't celebrate the
00:30:26
monologue where the show's launched you have a team of maybe two or three people
00:30:32
someone dressing makeup hair they're going to grab you yeah and take you along you know and they they become kind
00:30:38
of your your confidants throughout the week they're like on your team they're giving you a quick feedback that was
00:30:44
great but now let's go here and yeah I mean it's like yeah Donna like and Jerry and like they that was that was the
00:30:50
craziest thing because you just you get off and they grab you and you're just running to just like go change yeah it
00:30:56
almost like you got done with a set on stage and then someone just threw you in a car alone and you drove away and
00:31:03
you're like was it good I don't know he just got kidnapped and put in a put in a
00:31:08
a gunny sack and thrown in a trunk like you'd have no time to analyze was your suit made of were you wearing a I saw
00:31:15
what you're wearing it was like a coat was it made any anything velcro there or is it my monolog my monologue was uh my
00:31:23
monologue was not velcro but a lot of the other stuff was Velcro yeah uh and so yeah but I mean I got off and you go there and we did the chef show first and so it's we changed into that uh was the
00:31:36
Hallmark thing first it wasn't first was no I think it was after Chef show after Chef show yeah cuz that's cuz we had to get into Washington and that was uh so
00:31:44
that's why they put Hallmark there probably so you'd have more time to go yeah that that does buy time to get you in a wig or whatever so in the chef
00:31:51
show your first sketch you're feeling like 100% better probably once you got on there I mean the dress rehearsal is
00:31:59
so nice because once you do that you're like okay and then you're you know and then I mean it's it's very realistic and they cut a few sketches that you were in I we don't know those yet but so it's a
00:32:13
little truncated as well yes yeah and then and you do it and you know I felt good with Washington when I didn't realize the how it goes but when everybody's like everybody was like man
00:32:25
you Washington got moved up a lot so I don't really like I don't you know I don't understand it at the moment but
00:32:31
it's like oh so that did that did really good they want to frontload the better stuff yes so that so you know you feel
00:32:38
like all right I have some confidence now I've done it I've said these lines I'm kind of getting the Q card thing a little bit where you're like all right you know because you're not supposed to I'm not trying to like just look like
00:32:50
I'm like staring at it like reading like walking because walking always always does that but it it works for him apologetically hilarious yes the Washington was pretty
00:33:04
clever because I saw you some of the staging you could see you got a card to your left and a card to your right and a center card right yeah and then you kind
00:33:14
of pick your spot so by the time you got on air I thought it it worked great you know yeah yeah it was I I was borderline
00:33:20
getting a little too arrogant like flip switching cards where I would be like in the middle of it but the way the time
00:33:29
yeah the way the timing worked I would like you know I could read half this here and then I'd like it'd be good if I
00:33:35
go there by the way I don't know what camera is on I'm not even I have the either even when they
00:33:42
take they'll find you that's what you just hope you go [ __ ] someone film me yeah yeah cuz I I didn't I like Higgins
00:33:49
was like just look out like cuz you cuz CU it's Washington kind of talking outwardly so like if I ever got lost I
00:33:56
would just kind of go out you know what's funny Nate I'd see you and I've done this you go from the left Q card to
00:34:03
the right but if you do it during a speech or line it's like jumping the Snake River to go over there and try to
00:34:10
remember your line and then land and find the rest of your speech it's the ballsiest maneuver but sometimes you do
00:34:16
it just to look real like you're talking instead of just drill this one drill that one and was like all right but that was a good yeah I I like that bit because they sort of props for you they
00:34:27
have a few lines but you're basically like getting getting the laughs they stayed pretty wide I don't think they
00:34:33
had an ISO on you like you know neck up or anything so it stayed fairly wide yeah yeah that was what it worked out good I know I think one of my timing uh when I the timing on one of them worked
00:34:45
out and it worked out kind of just because I couldn't find the car like you get kind of you're like yeah I mean when
00:34:51
you're switching the middle and you go over it is it's such a big jump that you're like
00:34:57
you get over there and you're like oh man you're like where and are you black is the host always black Dana yeah I'm
00:35:03
black but you know what's fun uh I'm colorblind so the black and green so oh no really in uh a black and green one
00:35:12
with uh one of them with Heidi that ended up getting cut I kept reading her line during the and they were and no one really you know it's not like anybody's
00:35:23
really telling me something like they're kind of nice to The Host [ __ ] yeah and I mean I read it I mean five times
00:35:30
in a row and they're I was like oh I it looked and they just had a write Heidi next to it cuz I I was like I that go that for some reason that black and green looked the same to me oh
00:35:46
funny well keep going what were your other favorite sketches that you liked uh I thought so we had one that got cut
00:35:54
at the beginning that was I like the the the chef show was fun cuz I like got to just play like that was like just me
00:36:01
being me which was nice and that was an easy one for me to look the cuz the card's right over Punky so it was like
00:36:07
easy for me to You' get a laugh then they do some business come back you got a laugh that's the best way to do it
00:36:12
well written yeah airplane was like that too yeah uh in Airplane there's one part
00:36:18
when Heidi she's the she's the mom and she goes well I got a really important job and then I say what do you do and
00:36:25
she said' I'm a mother and uh so we clap and then we say all right what about real stuff and but that one I forgot my
00:36:33
I forgot to say what do you do and so they're all so there's a pause there because they're all waiting on me to go
00:36:38
what do you do and I see Wall-E it's so crazy to be on live live on TV shaking the card no one yeah no one sees it you're I mean millions of people are watching and just Wally's like hey he's
00:36:52
like off yeah he's just pointing off and I'm like I'm like yeah I go so what do you do and it's really delay it's like a very delayed what do you do because I just was gone you know I was like but
00:37:04
somehow it worked it got laughs I mean it it did it was uh yeah that that one worked really good and uh she's great yeah oh yeah I mean this cast is really
00:37:14
good like you see Keenan is unbelievable like I mean it's very comforting to be in there when Keenan's in there because you just like in our Heidi or Chloe like I mean all of them are so great and some
00:37:26
are younger but the you know ones that have been there for a while Mikey they just it's like they're just very very
00:37:32
good it takes a long time if you ever maybe this is crazy to say if they invited you to be part of the cast would you do Saturday Night Live you know I would uh it's kind of silly
00:37:46
you're too big to be a part of the cast yeah but but would you have liked to have done it I mean do you have a little
00:37:52
taste for it now would you like to go back and host I oh yeah I I definitely would love to go back I loved it I loved the whole week and then you know another one that Steve Higgins told me that I
00:38:02
liked he goes uh he said it's like what you thought show business would be when you get into Show Business and that that
00:38:09
I thought that was a very good way to describe it it's like when you get into Show Business you think it's going to be like just running around and changing
00:38:14
and all this kind of stuff and you know most of shows is not that and so I it made me want to do you know I think about sitcoms and you're like man I like to do a multicam you're just that live
00:38:27
audience is so fun yeah and that's what we do I I yeah I loved it I wish I would
00:38:33
have thought I could have done not that I would have ever got it but I don't know if I don't I never even looked at
00:38:40
SNL as an option of being in auditioning because it's like I was just doing standup and just doing this yeah you
00:38:46
barely do standup so it's you know but it's also you're saying new stuff like how do you handle the redundancy of
00:38:53
standup you know because all that stuff where you were probably peeking on air with it you know and then you just drop it you're not going to do George Washington's dream again so it's all
00:39:03
that freshness to it that's really cool and standup is some nights you have to kind of pull up your socks and kind of
00:39:09
go um I got to get excited I got to get excited I'm getting I'm getting a little past my act you know do you ever feel
00:39:16
that sometimes it's like oh yeah time to record it before I go past it and it's flat for me yeah yeah yeah I mean well
00:39:23
you can have a joke yeah the jokes can some jokes can be really good and they stop working because you just set them a
00:39:28
100 times and you just got to be excited and sometimes you got to just move the stuff around and you're set I always
00:39:34
time tend to uh you can move stuff up front that you are excited about or you can move some stuff at the end so you almost leave yourself a little carrot to be like why I'm excited about this chunk
00:39:45
so I'm gonna put it towards the back so I'm at least it keeps my excitement through the set one joke can keep you
00:39:51
excited the whole if you have a new joke that night you're like I'll put it here Chris Rock Says here's his advice I
00:39:57
don't even know if it's good course grabs you by the shoulder Spade because I told him I was bored of my ACT
00:40:02
especially if you do a bunch of dates in a row I saw your schedule I know you're doing 600 this year so I go I go rock I
00:40:09
go rock sometimes by the third night I'm like [ __ ] and he goes open with your closer what makes I mean it makes sense
00:40:17
but it's like open with my closing and if you can follow that then you got a good act I'm like
00:40:24
well I don't want to test it what if I bump dude I tried to open in Oklahoma City
00:40:29
with a new joke I mean Clos no no not open I I'll open with new jokes I like opening with new jokes because it's yeah so do it's the only it's the only life fun and then you go right they're going
00:40:40
crazy right you have a free pass for a bit you have a free pass so it's opening with new jokes is always great I mean I try to close in uh this weekend this past weekend uh after before CER live
00:40:53
with a a new joke I dude the I was like I think I can do it it was a call it was a new joke and it would be a call back so I moved my closing joke up to the within the first five minutes and
00:41:05
then I was going to call back with this whole new joke and in my head the arrogance I have that I go I mean I was like if I do this I go I mean I'm maybe the
00:41:17
best I'm the I'm the guy I'm I'm the goat you're not better than me and then I do it and it does not go good it goes like you would think and uh I and I had
00:41:27
one I had an old joke that I could do like you know you always just kind of sitting on a little crutch get to get
00:41:34
off on I was like in case of emergency yeah and I uh mayday mayday that's I told the comics I go I think I'm gonna be able to get off on this new joke which is going to be crazy I'm gonna
00:41:45
close on the brand new joke so get ready everybody yeah so I was like be ready and if anything I go if it goes bad then
00:41:51
I'll just tell this old story and I mean I did it two nights and they both I told the old story on both nights and
00:41:58
then will you try it again will you try it again I just told this I told the story on Seth Myers I just moved it you
00:42:04
threw it away and you gave it yeah I'll put it on SE Myers I go what was I thinking like closing on Talk Show Bits
00:42:11
have less pressure than stand a bits like because it's a conversation it's a conversation and there's less pressure
00:42:17
like if it's amusing at all they're like oh [ __ ] you just think of that and you put it in your act you move it over and it [ __ ] dies a miserable death Dana I
00:42:24
when I did this corporate last week in uh Atlanta it was like 80 people you know the stage is one inch high and
00:42:31
they're like hey here's [ __ ] face and up here a surprise half the people excited the other half are like I heard it was
00:42:37
Stevie Nicks and like and then some are like is that Stevie Nick so I was I was off before I went on and they go you want to meet the guy and he goes yeah
00:42:48
and he uh I go and he goes hey you know I'm whatever and I go hey I don't know what he does I go yeah and he's got like
00:42:54
a trophy wife with him and I'm like ah I wanted to say oh you got a trophy wife fourth place but anyway it's still a
00:43:00
trophy but I but she was so nice and she's pretty so I go I can't say that but he gives me a little nugget we talk
00:43:06
for two seconds take a picture and then he goes sorry it's so hot in there I'm sweating we're going to have a food
00:43:12
right after so those two bits of information a they had they've drunk drank it all day and they haven't had
00:43:18
their food yet so a they want you to get off B they're too drunk so I go up and then I go hey everybody I go I'm here cuz this rich guy hired us and hired me and um he seems like a good guy I don't
00:43:29
even know what business you are I know it's not air conditioning Jenny's like are you a
00:43:35
magician they couldn't believe I put that together because they couldn't believe you thought yeah because they're
00:43:41
like wait it's so hot in here and then they and I'm like that if you just get one new thing like that and then I said
00:43:47
one other new thing to him like just about the night Dana does more work on that I do two little nugs and then I go
00:43:54
right into my ACT dogs are fun and they immediately Z down and then I go hey look at this guy
00:44:01
walking to the bar they wake up again something new something right now he's thinking of and then I go back to my act
00:44:07
and they go back to oh you know what I mean though if you say anything about the tent about this guy's job about
00:44:14
they're like hey this you know the CEO has three balls and beats his wife say something work it in you know put it
00:44:20
yeah well they want you to I always I always say I'm just doing my act and if if it's I'll find out the and if like
00:44:26
there's you know I can usually say like I don't know what y'all do and that's enough to you know if you have something
00:44:33
that comes to your mind one thing uh but that's like yeah you remember your old joke about when the uh in your HBO
00:44:40
special with the bands when the band comes out and goes what's up Arizona you're like ah he knows us oh yeah the
00:44:47
Eagles Anna dark Arizona highway everyone's like oh my God yeah cool Scottdale wind in my hair holy [ __ ] my friend lives in Scott still they're screaming goes warm smell of sundevil
00:45:02

00:45:09
nearby any here from where neille in Dallas you go hey a lot of hot girls here from Dallas and a couple of rough ones from mosquite everyone's like what the [ __ ] how does he do it how does
00:45:22
he do it magician SK does have ratty chick that's when I was doing the old Dallas improv when I I was starting out I used to do
00:45:33
what did I do oh no I can't even do that I had an opener but it's it's not doesn't work in 20 23 whatever so Nate
00:45:40
you're gonna do uh you go so it's you go out you do the the places almost can't get bigger because you don't almost want them to be bigger it's just it's almost overwhelming as is right yeah you could
00:45:53
add a night like when you're on the do these Arenas and [ __ ] stadiums is the next up what floor when I was in N have you been offered a stadium I I I have
00:46:04
not no like 60 60,000 kind of leveling off okay yeah yeah we've definitely peaked plumet well actually Bridgestone is in Nashville is that correct yeah so
00:46:18
I was when I was there and they go oh Nate was uh usually I try to see Nate when I'm in Nashville right we try to
00:46:25
hang out and um they go oh Nate just played here and I go at this [ __ ] place is this a new comedy club and they're like no this is where the uh [ __ ] you know basketball team plays
00:46:36
when I was like God damn so that's great that was that was your biggest night right 19,000 that was their biggest
00:46:42
night yeah yeah it's the most ever yeah uh Jesus Christ it was a lot you know what Nate we should open a comedy club because in Nashville is there only just Zanies or is there more no just zany
00:46:56
there's other rooms and stuff but it's crazy it's huge place I mean Austin has a couple more and uh when you get these
00:47:03
big comedy towns most I think it's hard for Comics like a lot of comics probably
00:47:08
moved to Nashville I think Theo's there some others but New York and La when I leave I'm like I can't go on enough you
00:47:15
know like if I and I'm in La I can do The Comedy Store and The Improv a couple times a week if I got to practice and
00:47:22
how do you guys all go on at zany's they do Monday is new material night usually
00:47:28
and then Tuesday too and then so uh you know there's enough comics and then there's rooms everywhere so the younger
00:47:35
Comics are doing going up every night at a room at a bar whatever and then Zan's
00:47:40
is kind of where we can pop in and uh it's a real Comedy Club yeah it's a real comedy Zan is amazing CL yeah Z is great uh but the other ones are like we have comedy night and bumper pool and then
00:47:51
they can do like you know a quick yeah yeah but I mean Zan is the new material night I mean those nights selling out
00:47:58
like I mean it'd be 300 people in there on a Monday oh I'm sure Tuesday it's pretty much the only game in town that
00:48:03
place people do new material because we used to have that back in San Francisco in the day new material night and the
00:48:10
guy had a horn who knew everybody's act so if he'd heard it before he'd beep the horn do PE do people really honor that
00:48:17
or they kind of Hey That's not new what's he doing yeah wait what' you say it bro they be they beep a horn if you
00:48:22
do they think you're not you're doing old material kill oh wow you're not doing new material yeah and they the guy
00:48:29
would beep the horn and then you so funny it was 70 she your ears would be ringing during my
00:48:36
ACT we can't even hear the jokes I swear to God last time I went you know I I did
00:48:42
a special I I only done I've only done there not that many after my HBO one in uh years and years ago I never even thought I'd do another one I was just doing shows and mo mostly TV stuff so it
00:48:54
wasn't number one priority but there's a whole world now it's like do a special do a tour special tour with the special
00:49:02
and then but when I did this one and like Alex we have the same uh Road manager manager and he's like so you got
00:49:09
all new stuff like I go I just taped my special two days ago he's like well you got to rotate I'm like the whole goddamn
00:49:16
hour it's so hard to polish up an hour and so I really had to get cracking and bust my hump and it's tur into another hour but of course they're like do another
00:49:29
special I'm like I swear to God I get too attached to it I I want to go this was a lot of work and I like mixing it up Seinfeld used to say or when he was on here he said these people that have
00:49:41
five specials you really only have about an hour 15 of good material he said the rest of it that you'll ever in your
00:49:47
whole life to the cracks and it gets a few laughs and it goes away but the hardcore [ __ ] he's a big proponent of do
00:49:55
the same stuff and just rotate it around yeah that's a different you know that's the thing that I always bring up with you and Norm were talking about once
00:50:02
where uh Norm asked you if you came up like it' be both of y'all if y'all came up today how the how the climate is with
00:50:10
standup now because stand up is becoming like music where you can just you do a special an album and then you go and you do tours and that's all you really got to do do you think y'all would have
00:50:21
y'all had to go do TV Seinfeld had to go have a TV show y'all had to go to Saturday live there wasn't an
00:50:28
opportunity no for y to do this other stuff this is new this is new you make living than most most people in Sag and
00:50:36
aftera so if this is working and this is a new way to do this and everyone just by old school habit says well when are you going to do a sitcom or when you do a movie you don't have to by any stretch
00:50:50
of the imagination especially for money it's only if you said I have more choices now that's what happened to me I
00:50:56
left SNL got on a show and then they're like do you want to do this do you want to do a movie do you want and and it was
00:51:01
choice you were allowed to do it but if you could you could just be a stand up now and be a great one and kill and and
00:51:08
and you turn into a household name especially with the younger people because of Tik Tok and IG we don't get
00:51:15
the movies though like it's that kind of it has fun having a movie out yeah it hasn't clicked over into you know if you
00:51:23
you hope that you know maybe one day the the the the movies and the TV show like
00:51:28
these people realize like how big of an audience you have and like what you can bring to uh to you know like Bert did
00:51:34
his movie The Machine and it's number one on Netflix and uh it's it's because it's like I mean he's got a giant audience and he's doing everywhere in the country he's doing thousands and
00:51:45
thousands of it is fun to mix it up I mean Theo and I wrote that movie and we're figuring out a time to do it he
00:51:51
would have to I would have to stop touring too but he tours more than I do and more days in a row and he would lose
00:51:58
a chunk of money because when you're doing a smaller movie that's just the way of the world you know you it's fun
00:52:03
to do a movie it's really fun when they come out and uh then you go and do this but you can't really compete with
00:52:11
non-stop touring just the money just flies in so you have to make a conscious decision to say this matters more right now and I'll always be able to do that but it's hard to just put the brakes
00:52:23
when it's just too good you know yeah you don't want to well I it's like and I mean stand up is fun and I it's I love it and it's you know it well it's like
00:52:34
the yeah like you see the strike and all that stuff and uh you know it's like you just don't have that you just gota it's
00:52:40
that that's why I liked about the center live thing was it's the immediate you know when I did that set even though in
00:52:46
the moment I I don't know how it did outside of the room yeah but you're like it's already out it's done yeah not good
00:52:53
you go but it's it's already it's it's done it's out and it's like fun to be like oh all right well anything immediate is fun SNL I did miss that like you do it and then we go film a
00:53:06
movie and it takes forever to film and doesn't come out for a year and you're like I have this movie it's pretty funny
00:53:12
and by the time it comes out you're like oh [ __ ] that was a year ago and and and that's not as immediate and you're in a
00:53:17
theater trying to get that oh is it working kind of thing you get to see people laugh but when you're shooting it
00:53:23
no one's allowed to laugh I shot something today for something and and the crew was told not to laugh and I'm
00:53:29
like is this not working like oh they're not allowed I'm like ah it's just so weird you want that and you get it every
00:53:35
night and you're a really good comedian and I love going on the road I love doing a theater I'm a tour right now and
00:53:41
when it works you do get a buzz for a while afterwards it's just fun if you're good you go I feel like I just did
00:53:46
something yeah that's hard to do yeah SNL is just based on procrastination and add I think and uh both that I have a good measure of so I didn't realize till
00:53:58
I left like what a perfect thing for me because I get bored very easily yeah movies are tough that way the only thing
00:54:04
about standup long term is the travel um starts get a little little you know that's that's the only thing SNL when you're on SNL as a cast member you're you're stationary yeah yeah that
00:54:16
that could that could be something that uh I look forward to if I was able to shoot something here in Nashville where you're I I can be home and then I I I don't go on the road that that would be
00:54:27
nice but yeah the tour the drive driving around and traveling all that and we have a tour bus now so that stuff helps
00:54:34
that your stuff is kind of on a bus and you're you know you're not in and out of
00:54:39
hotels and so you finished the gig and jump on the bus like a band and drive all night or if it's across country you
00:54:46
can rent the space shuttle because you have so much money and your money gone yeah get the Concord uh whatever that
00:54:54
old I took the Concord to uh to Wendy's one day that's how rich I was no I took it to Europe um remember the Concord that was cool I I took it to
00:55:05
London to promote wayworld I took it to London to [ __ ] do uh tomm me boy and we uh you could walk up and talk to the pilots there was no cockpit door they were just three Pilots it was like coach
00:55:19
it was small yeah and then like well we just we just keep an eye on things up here you know
00:55:25
and they're just three brick we only crash some of the time that's why they had to get rid of it it crash and they were like I'm like one crash who
00:55:33
cares well they actually they continued after that debris hit the engine I I I don't like to fly Nate I you know I
00:55:41
always say to someone if you're getting a private jet make sure it's a really good one never be on a budget when you're
00:55:47
vertical you can't afford the good one just go go regular go Southwest when we went to uh that that premiere in uh in England where no one knew who the [ __ ] we were me and Farley thought we were
00:55:59
famous no reason we thought we were we just thought we were because we had a movie coming out it wasn't even out yet
00:56:04
we thought we were the Beatles or two of them so we go over and I and he goes are you on the Concord you think you're so
00:56:10
great I go aren't you flying with me he goes I'm going to Ireland because I'm Irish and I'm going to go a day early
00:56:16
with my mom and get a chal this [ __ ] idiot bought a shalele and then he kept bringing it everywhere
00:56:22
he goes it's lucky I'm Irish I got enough and then he forgot it and he made someone fly back and get it cuz he lost it and anyway that's so stupid I didn't know what a chele is I was gonna say
00:56:35
Nate I was know a stick right I I don't know I I'm not not I tell the whole story no one even know it's a walking sck I think it was just a stick I think Chris found a stick in the that in
00:56:49
Ireland cost $700 but that's a walk Walking Stick hey want a shalele but yeah you could I bet CBS or somebody would yeah they'd set up a studio for you in Nashville if they already
00:57:00
probably have Studios there and you could try a half hour show you're good at you're good on camera you're good
00:57:06
with an audience I mean I could see you doing a half hour show and crushing it you know well I mean that's like you
00:57:13
know that that's what you get with that Center Live you get that like man multicamp like that stuff still I think
00:57:18
it's still works and people still want that and they're just not doing it and they're not trying it and you know uh
00:57:24
even like movies I me that's why Sanders movies do so well and that's why you know Wayne world and Tommy Boy like
00:57:29
people are still watching this because they're just super fun movies and like that kind of stuff interested me to kind of do that kind of thing that a movie or
00:57:39
a television show or both what would be your team maybe both no both I don't you know I don't know I mean I I don't know
00:57:45
for sure but it's uh you know both I mean I've always wanted to do like a sefel type show or something or but you
00:57:52
know and then also like I mean I love Sandler's model of making these movies and you know has all you guys in them and uh you know and like the Wayne's
00:58:03
World like all that I mean look at SNL like how much stuff like that's my age that kind of came up with that and I
00:58:08
feel like that's not around as much as it was a good big dumb funny comedy I think world Missy was maybe one of the last ones that David was in yeah really big silly fun and it so great it was it
00:58:23
like crushed and then it's like they I just don't feel you know like it's like there's not
00:58:29
enough of them and they're not at the theaters where people just want to go have fun and
00:58:38
laugh that's the luckiness of you having a lot of attention right now and being good is that you can maybe get a movie you can maybe it's very hard and people think it's so easy but to get a movie
00:58:51
made to get on a sitcom and then it's like a piece of a puzzle that's kind of just fun to have because when I see
00:58:58
people that stop me it's so many different things they could like which that's part of the fun you know oh I saw
00:59:04
the wrong Missy or oh The Emperor's New Groove the cartoon one so that's fun to have just different things and then you feel like different muscle movies are the hardest to do I don't know if Dan
00:59:15
agrees but the hardest but really fun when they come out and they kind of live that's what I love the most I mean but
00:59:22
to make them is hard but I think if you can conquer standup Mountain which Nate has I think you can make a feature
00:59:28
filmmer sitcom it's it's a lot of the application the same brain set that you figured out how to write backto back an
00:59:35
hour of talking that's likable enjoyable funny full of surprises so yeah I would
00:59:42
encourage you to do it if you feel like it I mean um I think the idea of travel long run it's nice to take breaks like Chris Rock does he toured like crazy and then he's doing a movie a direct a film
00:59:55
yeah he came down he was there he was there uh him and melany came Saturday came which was very nice yeah and uh
01:00:02
almost more scary that they're there yeah well uh yeah they came before yeah I was like did they come show me at no they came before and then I was like are y'all staying for the show and they're
01:00:14
like yeah and I like I thought like they were just like all right man like you know like your buddy stoping didn't have a good show before you do a stand up
01:00:21
yeah you know what's funny is that 30 Rock I've been going in that building for 15 years without really realizing it
01:00:30
uh I was like Conan Fallon Seth Meer i' and it's really all I've gone to is 30 Rock and then you know then meeting you guys so much and like it was like I was like doing SNL you're like rock and
01:00:44
melany and like Pete you're like you're like all these people have been around you're like oh it's all been NBC and
01:00:49
dirty Rock and and you're so close that build you're so close that stage because I think Conan's used to be one down and
01:00:56
Jimmy's like two down but just you go up these staircase you go up the fire thing
01:01:01
and then you're at the different studio and it's huge and you're like holy [ __ ] this is all here all right there yeah
01:01:08
and that my whole TV career has been just within those floors and uh I did Seth Meyers I did uh yeah that was and that was crazy because you just are like
01:01:20
we shot the sketch where I like Break Stuff we shot that promo and I mean then within five minutes I'm just on Seth M
01:01:27
they like go up to Seth yeah it's a great little clubhouse just go up go up a flight of stairs go on another nwk
01:01:33
another show well Dana we've we've uh Nate seems burned out he did SNL all week he's being a great sport to come on he's see in his Zoom he jams all his
01:01:45
accolades crammed together in the zoom behind him I think that's nice uh I kind of have an SNL one yeah oh you got a jam and SNL you wore your SNL sweatshirt I got my sweatshirt so yeah the only gu
01:01:59
Tracy Morgan whenever I run into him he goes how you doing a lum so now we can do that yeah we're all Lums now yeah it
01:02:06
feel it's a it's a true yeah dude I mean it means it was awesome it was crazy it's something I I honestly thought
01:02:13
something that I I never really you know I never even like let myself even think you know you don't want to get fake
01:02:18
turned down from something that you think you might get so you're just kind of like I'm not going to get that uh
01:02:26
well you're part of the culture in a different way now because of this and also I read a review about the George
01:02:31
Washington dream that that's it's an iconic sketch in many ways and the ending was very cool and different with Keenan just it had a a high quality
01:02:44
piece of writing and performance that yeah they wrote I mean a lot of people think I had some dude they wrote for me
01:02:49
and they did just a great a gift is it crazy they understood your Rhythm and your timing is really they really did
01:02:55
important and and they wrote to you and so congratulations it doesn't always go this good yeah yeah well thank you thank
