I will put perfectly good headphones
00:02:47
into my pocket, Dana, and I pull them
00:02:49
out. They're like that. It takes 35
00:02:51
minutes.
00:02:51
>> Oh, I have a drawer with that doing like
00:02:53
this. Like the game operation. I go,

>> That's my point. David Blaine. It's
00:03:09
called Poltergeist. It's called things

00:03:14
those if you gave it to props.
00:03:16
>> Okay, this is what I'm gonna do.
00:03:18
>> Oh my god.

00:03:32
>> How is he even Don't hurt yourself.
00:03:35
Don't hurt yourself.
00:03:36
>> I I'm like a DJ. I do one ear just in
00:03:39
case something else happens in the room.
00:03:41
>> I do that sometimes, too. If you're
00:03:42
doing a funny voice, you go like that so
00:03:44
you can hear it in the room. Yeah.
00:03:47
>> You you the voice won't hit unless you
00:03:49
have the outer room energy.
00:03:51
>> I gotcha. Is that a real plant or a fake
00:03:54
plant? What do you think?
00:03:57
>> Fake.
00:03:58
>> Yeah. Yes. Is that a real Superman or a
00:04:02
dog? Fake.
00:04:04
>> Wait, this is like is it cake but with
00:04:06
Dana?
00:04:09
>> It's is spade cake.
00:04:12
comes and goes,
00:04:13
>> "Is this water or an illusion?"
00:04:18
>> Well, that's kind of cool looking.
00:04:20
>> And you know, the good thing is you're
00:04:22
promoting your special on Hulu, but this
00:04:24
counts as like nothing because it's just
00:04:26
a screw off.
00:04:29
>> You know what I mean?
00:04:30
>> This is my most exciting thing I got. I
00:04:33
was like,
00:04:33
>> "Yeah,
00:04:34
>> I'm so honored to be here. This is
00:04:36
awesome. I mean, I have nothing to talk
00:04:38
about, but
00:04:39
>> No, that's none of my business.
00:04:42
>> Whoops. Oh, that's actually a title.
00:04:45
>> Oopsie.
00:04:46
>> How long? Oopsie. My mistake. Sorry.
00:04:50
Tried to trend with that one. What were
00:04:53
your alts? What were your alts? I think
00:04:54
it's a great title, but what were your
00:04:56
alts?
00:04:57
>> Do you guys when you do a special of
00:04:59
some kind, do you do title first or
00:05:02
last?
00:05:04
I think about it the whole time and it's
00:05:06
toward the end probably unless I have a
00:05:08
theme, but I never have a a whole
00:05:10
running theme.
00:05:10
>> I've done three. I had one good one and
00:05:13
the other two were bad.
00:05:15
>> Some comics are so good at like the
00:05:17
coolest freaking name and then some
00:05:19
people are like cheeseburger.
00:05:21
>> Yeah.
00:05:22
>> But um
00:05:23
>> dandelion
00:05:26
>> I think did I honestly kind of panicked.
00:05:29
Oh my my first special which was we ride
00:05:31
at dawn. I like that one.
00:05:34
>> Thank you. At the very end,
00:05:36
>> I had I had no title and I had a a joke
00:05:39
about guns, about how women are the only
00:05:42
people that legally should be able to
00:05:43
have guns because of the statistics.
00:05:46
It's just data and science, women in
00:05:48
STEM. And I just added we ride at dawn
00:05:50
in the middle of that joke to make it
00:05:53
make sense. So that's just a little
00:05:55
behind the
00:05:56
>> No, that's kind of good because
00:05:57
sometimes little ad lives. I thought of
00:06:00
one line in one of my jokes this weekend
00:06:02
and I was like, "Oh, I gotta remember
00:06:04
that." And in the middle of my act, I
00:06:06
remembered it for about five minutes,
00:06:08
but I'm still doing my act. And then at
00:06:10
the end, I go, "No idea." But I figured
00:06:13
out later. But you know what I mean?
00:06:14
Like if you think of something you're
00:06:16
throwing out there, these comics that
00:06:18
don't record
00:06:20
and they just keep doing sets, I go,
00:06:21
"What is the point? You don't remember
00:06:23
what you said."
00:06:25
>> I have a terrible memory. Like, you
00:06:27
know, some of these comics are geniuses.
00:06:29
Like, it's You know me. You know us.
00:06:31
>> Yeah, I can tell. I can just tell.
00:06:33
>> So, you record every set.
00:06:35
>> Oh, but I don't record.
00:06:37
>> Oh, well,
00:06:38
>> I do. I do record, but you know what it
00:06:41
is?
00:06:41
>> Hard to listen back, right?
00:06:43
>> I think I just Yeah, I think I just I
00:06:46
plan on just doing the set so much that
00:06:49
I say it's like a story. When you tell a
00:06:51
funny story at a dinner table and you
00:06:52
say something that works, you're going
00:06:54
to say it at the next dinner table cuz
00:06:56
like that's the spot you like. But
00:06:58
forgetting um a tag that you came up
00:07:01
with, which is always the best ones.
00:07:03
>> Um is true. I wouldn't wish on my worst
00:07:05
enemy.
00:07:06
>> It's uh torture
00:07:07
>> while you're shooting the special. Did
00:07:09
you have regrets?
00:07:10
>> You got one while you shot, which is
00:07:11
rare.
00:07:13
>> Oh, you mean like some of the crowd work
00:07:14
and stuff?
00:07:15
>> Well, you said rewrite it at Dawn and
00:07:17
that was not a regular line. Hold that.
00:07:20
Yeah.
00:07:21
>> Well, it added kind of perfectly. And
00:07:24
doesn't the audience love when they're
00:07:25
watching a special and you finally say
00:07:28
the title and just makes them feel all
00:07:29
warm and
00:07:30
>> happy? Well, can I just say from someone
00:07:33
who loves movies, We Ride at Dawn just
00:07:36
makes me happy. I think it's cool. We
00:07:38
Ride at Dawn says so much. We Ride at
00:07:41
Dawn. What the It's the most bad. It's
00:07:45
badass. I wanted to like get people to
00:07:48
feel something which you know
00:07:50
>> that's that's what we do as artists
00:07:52
>> and also we ride a dawn. I don't even
00:07:55
know what that means like when is dawn
00:07:57
when is dawn
00:07:58
>> which just means it's a posi or a group
00:08:00
of men in the 1880s going we ride a dawn
00:08:03
mean we're going to go
00:08:04
>> see light we go kill everyone
00:08:06
>> as
00:08:08
>> that is it I think
00:08:09
>> do you guys wake up earlier now in your
00:08:12
um more experienced ages? Oh, I'm up at
00:08:15
6 every day. I'm Yeah, I have farmers
00:08:18
hours. I live on a farm and I get up at
00:08:20
6 every day to feed the pigs and the
00:08:23
cows and the horses.
00:08:25
>> No, we just have horses.
00:08:26
>> What time do you put yourself down at
00:08:28
night?
00:08:30
>> Who puts you to bed?
00:08:31
>> That's a good title for a special. What
00:08:33
time?
00:08:34
>> What time do you put yourself down at
00:08:35
night?
00:08:36
>> It sounds like a dog that's not doing
00:08:38
too well. We put him down. No, I uh I
00:08:41
meander, you know, I kind of 10 10:30.
00:08:45
>> Sometimes if I'm really exhausted, I
00:08:48
like to sleep nine hours if I could get
00:08:50
it. That's like a real like reset
00:08:52
sleeping. Are you like a 3, five an hour
00:08:54
person?
00:08:55
>> Oh, no. I love sleep. I'm I don't think
00:08:58
I would have made it as a comedian if I
00:09:00
didn't wasn't good at sleeping on
00:09:02
planes, sleeping on couches. I can't
00:09:04
sleep I sleep anywhere. Sleep on the
00:09:06
subway. I take my bootleg propal at
00:09:09
night and just take a little
00:09:11
>> and then um the Michael Jackson juice
00:09:13
>> is that a peptide. What is a
00:09:15

>> they do when they're giving you a
00:09:19
surgery they put you under. Yeah.
00:09:22
>> For a colonoscopy. But Michael Jackson
00:09:24
had that at home. And I'm like I didn't
00:09:26
know you could have it at home. He's
00:09:27
like well you can't. And he has a doctor
00:09:29
do it. And then the doctor like took a
00:09:32
phone call and came back. Michael's
00:09:34
like, he's like, "Hey guy, it's great
00:09:36

00:10:00
"I saw you at the Netflix uh [ __ ] show
00:10:02

00:10:04
>> Um, even though the brunch, I think
00:10:07
lovely Ted Sanders and his wife uh
00:10:09
Nicole had a great brunch. I didn't know

00:10:13
brunch. But anyway, um
00:10:15
>> he has notes.
00:10:16
>> We served a lot of people. But I said to
00:10:19
uh Hannah,
00:10:21
>> one of my hard-hitting questions because
00:10:23
you see everybody there.
00:10:24
>> You get up in people's faces a little.
00:10:25
>> Yeah. And I said, "Hannah,
00:10:28
>> I wanted to do Giggly Squad when my
00:10:30
movie came out." And she goes, "We don't
00:10:32
have guests." And literally one second
00:10:34
later, Kate Hudson goes, "I can't wait
00:10:35
to be on your show tonight." And I go
00:10:38
like this,
00:10:38
>> "Busted. Do you want to think about your
00:10:41
answers quickly for a second? I'll step
00:10:43
away."
00:10:44
>> You know, I'll ask you again.
00:10:46
>> That was horrible timing. That was bad
00:10:48
timing.
00:10:48
>> I know. I saw Paige be like,
00:10:53
"That's Heather." Heather's laughing.
00:10:56
>> One of our producers

her.
00:10:58
>> Heather likes your show.
00:10:59
>> We actually We don't do guests, but
00:11:02
Netflix was like, "We'll pay you to talk
00:11:05
to guests on stage." And I was like, "Is
00:11:08
it David Spade?" And they're like,
00:11:09
"Absolutely."
00:11:09
>> I was going to pay. Okay. Um, you know,
00:11:13
we're going to break into guests. It's
00:11:14
just, you know, you you guys know guests
00:11:16
are the worst.
00:11:17
>> It's a hassle. Well, how many episodes

00:11:21
>> we've been doing it since 2020. Like

>> We just went to two episodes a week. I I
00:11:29

interviewing people. I would
00:11:32
>> dissect David Spade
00:11:34
>> for sure.
00:11:34
>> I would make him question.
00:11:35
>> You would deconstruct
00:11:38
him and then reassemble him in 45
00:11:41
minutes. I I get you'd have that. Yeah,
00:11:44
>> I would love to. Um so
00:11:46

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:04
>> So, it's kind of like crowd work for me.
00:12:06
>> It doesquefy. It keeps your brain like
00:12:09
that. So, two a week is
00:12:12
>> harder than twice as hard.
00:12:14
>> Wow.
00:12:15
>> But you know what? I felt like we were
00:12:17
holding back with one episode cuz but
00:12:20
Paige and I, we can't speak that much
00:12:21
during the week cuz then we burn
00:12:23
material,
00:12:23
>> right? You can though. I watched one of
00:12:26
them. Yeah,
00:12:27
>> there's no
00:12:28
>> women do being.
00:12:30
>> Yeah. I mean, two times a week for an
00:12:32
hour each, that's not too much for you
00:12:34
guys.
00:12:35
>> No, not at all. And then we'll have some
00:12:38
notes, but sometimes we don't even hit
00:12:40
the note. like we'll just start rambling
00:12:42
and cuz we're so different, we'll always
00:12:45
argue. So, bring any topic up and we'll
00:12:48
have disagree.
00:12:49
>> No, there was a good vibe when I saw it.
00:12:51
You were doing some hard-hitting
00:12:52
subjects like high heels.
00:12:54
>> Actually, I saw um
00:12:56
>> we did a whole episode on chess.com.
00:12:59
>> On what? Chess.
00:13:00
>> Chest.
00:13:01
>> Chess.com. Are you familiar with Magnus
00:13:03
Carlson? It's um
00:13:05
>> Oh, they got it.
00:13:06
>> Oh, chess. Yeah, I thought you said
00:13:07
chess. I feel like male comedians would
00:13:09
love the chess drama cuz it's like
00:13:10
lonely men who are like
00:13:14
>> I'd like to talk to that guy. That guy's
00:13:16
a genius.
00:13:17
>> Very smart.
00:13:19
>> Grandmaster
00:13:20
>> battling down demons. He's a
00:13:21
grandmaster. He accuses this young guy
00:13:24
of cheating and no one knows how he
00:13:26
cheated and they think it's cuz he got
00:13:28
>> he put taps in his pants or something.
00:13:31
Dude, these [ __ ] guys that are
00:13:32
grandmas get smoked by a kid. It's the
00:13:35
best thing in the world. They like
00:13:36
slammed the table,
00:13:40
>> but they thought he had a rook.
00:13:41
>> They thought he had anal beads in his
00:13:43
butt and they were doing Morse code to
00:13:45
tell him. And I said, "That's genius."
00:13:47
At that point, let him win.
00:13:49
>> That's crazy. I've never heard of
00:13:51
anything like that. It's ridiculous.
00:13:53
Hang on. I got something coming through.
00:13:55
>> No, no, I've just never heard anything
00:13:56
like that. It's crazy.
00:13:58
>> He's like, "Do it again. I didn't feel
00:14:00
that way."
00:14:01
>> I'm not cheating, you stupid idiot. Put
00:14:04
it on high.
00:14:08
>> Have you ever had sex with a chess
00:14:10
grandmaster? I mean, you don't have to
00:14:12
answer that. It's probably
00:14:12
>> to have it. No, I've I've never met a ch
00:14:15
I I really My husband's the first smart
00:14:17
guy I ever met.
00:14:19
>> How did you know he was smart when you
00:14:20
meet him? When did What was the five or
00:14:24
>> Well, I cuz I was a former athlete. I
00:14:27
dealt with
00:14:28
>> tennis nationally ranked audience.
00:14:31
>> Thank you. So, I've I I dated I've dated
00:14:35
some like CTE men, but large, strong,
00:14:39
sturdy.
00:14:40
>> Um,
00:14:41
>> interesting.
00:14:42
>> And that'll you could last a year easy
00:14:45
in one of those relationship.
00:14:46
>> Go on that for a while. Sure.
00:14:47
>> You could ride that wave. Um,
00:14:49
>> well, you're the smart one and you're
00:14:50
kind of running the show.
00:14:52
>> Well, yeah. You're like I'm just I'm
00:14:53
silly and like goofy, but I don't I'm
00:14:56
not a caretaker type. So when it came to
00:14:57
like if they hurt their knee or like
00:14:59
they lost a game, I was like, "You
00:15:01
should call your mom." Like I don't
00:15:02
>> the game, right?
00:15:04
>> Oh god. When they lost a game, it's like
00:15:07
>> what about when they retire and now
00:15:08
you're full and he's like, "Let's start
00:15:10
a Tik Tok." And you're like, "O
00:15:12
>> yeah." And then he like can't play with
00:15:14
his own kids because his knees been
00:15:17
redone eight times.
00:15:18
>> Yeah.
00:15:20
>> Tik Tok.
00:15:21
>> Tennis is really that brutal, I guess.
00:15:23
Yeah. At a high level.
00:15:24
>> Yeah. That got dark. So, what are you
00:15:26
more turned on? A guy with a wall, a big
00:15:28
wallet.
00:15:29
>> You don't need money. Uh, intelligence
00:15:32
or sense of humor? What do you put?
00:15:34
>> It's crazy.
00:15:35
>> Or they overlap.
00:15:36
>> I haven't dated since like being a
00:15:40
comedian.
00:15:41
>> Like, I've never been single on the
00:15:42
comedian circle. Probably a blessing.
00:15:46
>> So, I've never been, you know, out at
00:15:48
the clubs, you know, getting DMs from
00:15:49
men. I didn't have a guy in different
00:15:51
area codes. Like I was just working on
00:15:53
my on my art.
00:15:54
>> How's that margarita? By the way,
00:15:56
>> this is a ice coffee that kind of
00:15:59
melted.
00:16:00
>> I honor that, man.
00:16:02
>> No, I want to ask you also about the
00:16:04
goddamn brunch. We have to make more fun
00:16:07
of it.
00:16:07
>> I know. No, we will. But Dez Dez is
00:16:11
older.
00:16:12
is older and he's traveled so like he
00:16:16
knows about the 80s and I could ask him
00:16:20
a lot of different questions about he
00:16:22
watch he reads stuff about the news so
00:16:24
like I don't have to he's like I'm like
00:16:25
what happened
00:16:27
>> in the what's going on overseas and
00:16:29
he'll give me like
00:16:30
>> yeah and he he's made a lot of m his own
00:16:34
life mistakes so that he's learned from
00:16:36
that he can bring to me so that's value
00:16:39
I think that's when you're like I I'll
00:16:41
keep this person around longer cuz they
00:16:43
know things I don't know. And I think
00:16:45
that's been helpful.
00:16:46
>> Us old people are handy.
00:16:48
>> Interesting. Have you ever called him
00:16:49
daddy? Just casually.
00:16:51
>> I joked that he's zaddy with a Z, which
00:16:54
is
00:16:54
>> okay. Cuz it's that combo.
00:16:57
>> Cuz Zatty means like daddy but like
00:17:00
sexy, right?
00:17:01
>> Sexy. David's like, "Yeah, yeah." Yeah.
00:17:04
>> No, I think I've heard that terminology.
00:17:09
>> That was a little like two years ago. He
00:17:11
It was Zaddy.
00:17:12
>> I just heard it.
00:17:14
>> But I argue for all the girls, I want
00:17:16
them to date older guys. That's why you
00:17:18
guys brought me on to talk about this.
00:17:20
>> That like David was telling me exactly
00:17:22
what to say. He was like, "Say that
00:17:24
older men are great to
00:17:26
>> be in your life." But um
00:17:29
>> they the hard thing is you guys are
00:17:31
smart. So sometimes he wins arguments.
00:17:34
>> Oh.
00:17:36
which I thought was illegal after a
00:17:38
marriage
00:17:39
>> over a professional
00:17:42
worldclass standup comedian. He can
00:17:45
tennis player.
00:17:46
>> Well, this is the problem.
00:17:47
>> That's pretty smart.
00:17:48
>> He's also a stand-up comedian.
00:17:51
>> Holy [ __ ]
00:17:53
>> So, that's where that's where I didn't
00:17:56
think about it. He's
00:17:57
>> Yeah.
00:17:58
>> And he's pre-trained. Like, he's seen a
00:18:00
lot of different angles these other
00:18:02
women have done to him. So, I'll do
00:18:04
something and he's he knows
00:18:05
terminologies.
00:18:06
>> Oh, I know that old chest.
00:18:08
>> I start crying. He's like, "Stop with
00:18:10
the fake tears." And I'm like, "This
00:18:12
guy's good. This guy's good.
00:18:14
>> He knows you better than you know
00:18:16
yourself." Easily tricked young guys.
00:18:18
>> Young guys. Yeah. Young guys, you just
00:18:20
suddenly have to be like and they'll be
00:18:22
like, "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."
00:18:24
Where
00:18:26
>> that's not idiots. Yeah.
00:18:29
>> Also, young guys, you give them a little
00:18:30
kiss, they're like all happy again.
00:18:32
Older guys, they've seen too much
00:18:33
already. They're like, "Don't get your
00:18:35
tits out of my face. I've seen too much.
00:18:37
>> Get your tits out of my face. This isn't
00:18:40
over."
00:18:40
>> Yeah.
00:18:43
>> So, there's pros and cons of a smart
00:18:45
man.
00:18:46
>> Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. I like
00:18:48
everything I'm hearing.
00:18:50
>> But yeah, the the brunch was fun.
00:18:52
>> Was it?
00:18:53
>> David, do you do you get sick? Do you
00:18:56
get sick of seeing all your comedy
00:18:58
friends in one place ever? Purge is a
00:19:00
joyful for you running.
00:19:01
>> No, I think for you it might be more fun
00:19:04
because you guys were outliers because
00:19:07
you're not there all the time.
00:19:09
>> Yeah.
00:19:09
>> But you were doing a Netflix thing
00:19:12
because the funny thing was
00:19:14
>> you're with all your comedy friends. I
00:19:15
get on that little stand to take that
00:19:17
picture and I'm next to my two favorite
00:19:19
comedians, the cast of The Hunting
00:19:21
Wives.
00:19:23
I'm like, well,
00:19:24
>> the Hunting Wives? No, I was I actually
00:19:28
liked those girls. They were very sweet,
00:19:30
you know. And listen, if you're getting
00:19:32
invited and you're on Netflix, I it's
00:19:34
not my party. They're just putting a
00:19:36
conglomeration of people and everyone
00:19:38
was It's fun to see everyone in person.
00:19:41
A little bright for people to see me,
00:19:43
but it was fine.
00:19:47
>> I'll tell you, dads, especially Dana, is
00:19:50
impossible to shop for. They always say
00:19:52
they don't want anything, but you know,
00:19:53
that's not true. Mhm.
00:19:55
>> But if there's one thing you can get
00:19:57
right, it's what's on his plate.
00:20:00
>> That's right. I've been a good rancher
00:20:02
subscriber for a while now, and I can
00:20:05
tell you from experience,
00:20:08
there is a massive difference when you
00:20:10
stop buying that mystery meat from the
00:20:13
grocery store and start eating 100%
00:20:16
American beef and chicken.
00:20:19
>> Their mission is all about bridging the
00:20:20
gap between our families and local
00:20:22
American farms. And quality is just
00:20:24
another level. Uh, honestly, my freezer
00:20:26
is never without it. If you want to win

Dana?
00:20:39

00:21:16
>> I like when Theo Theo always says
00:21:18
something funny. So, I figure out
00:21:19
>> you were standing around there when
00:21:21
>> Kate Hudson was there and
00:21:23
>> and she goes, "Hey, I want to She goes,
00:21:25
"Is that guy on a podcast?" And I go,
00:21:27
"Yeah." I go, "Shi to him." And she
00:21:29
goes, "Okay." So, I go, "Theo, come
00:21:31
here." He stands there like he's three
00:21:32
years old. "Hey, how you doing?" And she
00:21:34
goes, "Yeah." And he goes, she goes,
00:21:36
"You're wearing a long sleeve black
00:21:37
shirt?" Cuz it was a day and it was a
00:21:39
tent.
00:21:40
>> It was just tented, but not like with
00:21:43
doors and everything. It was just like
00:21:44
an airy tent like a circus. And then you
00:21:46
could walk in and out, you know, breeze
00:21:47
around. And he goes, "It's really hot
00:21:49
outside, but it's nicer under the tent,
00:21:51
but there's no signs
00:21:55
to say that it's nicer under the tent."
00:21:57
So he goes, "I was standing there for so
00:21:59
long, but there's no signs." And she
00:22:01
goes, "Oh yeah, well maybe they should
00:22:03
have some
00:22:04
>> because they don't stand in the faking
00:22:06
[ __ ] sun."
00:22:07
>> Was there a pecking order? My thing
00:22:10
would be like there'd be like the cool
00:22:13
group and then the super cool group.
00:22:15
>> It was very high school. Like there's
00:22:16
the super seniors
00:22:18
>> that are like saying hi to all the
00:22:20
>> Letterman Chappelle and Eddie Murphy.
00:22:24
>> Yeah.
00:22:25
>> Was Shane there? Shane was not there.
00:22:28
>> Wasn't there. I guess he was prepping.
00:22:31
>> He was touring. I think like he was like
00:22:33
>> he was playing North Dakota, you know,
00:22:35
put a stage in the middle of the state.
00:22:39
>> The whole the Midwest. He was playing
00:22:41
>> He was playing the greater Midwest.
00:22:43
>> The Grand Canyon. Build it.
00:22:46
When we interviewed Shane on this
00:22:48
podcast, he was sort of this SNL thing
00:22:49
had just happened and
00:22:51
>> oh wow,
00:22:51
>> he was like, "Yeah, I'm playing clubs
00:22:53
and they're talking about a theater
00:22:56
maybe or so and then like skyrocketing."
00:22:59
>> Houston,
00:23:01
>> I met Shane back in the day when he was
00:23:03
like opening for people and I was just
00:23:05
sitting in a green room with him and he
00:23:07
was like, "If I could just get a Comedy
00:23:09
Central scripted show off the ground,
00:23:12
that would be my dream." And it was it
00:23:14
was beautiful. It was
00:23:16
>> We can make it happen.
00:23:17
>> Well, Dave, do you have a Shane story
00:23:18
where he's even before that?
00:23:21
>> He was working at AutoZone, right?
00:23:23
>> If I could even go to a comedy club, I
00:23:26
would pay so much money. Shane, you're
00:23:28
going to be big.
00:23:29
>> No. When I met Shane, he already had a
00:23:31
money gun like ASAP Rocky going
00:23:34
to No, I I don't see him that much. I do
00:23:37
like Shane. I think he's funny. And what
00:23:39
about all the drama with the roast?
00:23:42
>> Oh, I know. I didn't I didn't go. I um
00:23:46
>> Did Paige say she went?
00:23:48
>> No. Paige wouldn't go anywhere without
00:23:49
me.
00:23:50
>> Okay. So, I like that you guys are
00:23:53
really friends for the podcast.
00:23:56
>> It's not a fake friendship.
00:23:59
>> Yeah. But cuz I heard you guys blabbing
00:24:01
about it and it was like
00:24:02
>> she said it was too long and I was like
00:24:04
I People don't know when you see a roast
00:24:06
normally there's some fat trimmed out
00:24:09
>> so they help you a little bit. They're
00:24:11
like get rid of that one. rather but
00:24:14
yeah like when she goes the rock was on
00:24:15
forever and he saw it
00:24:19
>> I feel he got drunk he was Lucy
00:24:22
>> that's right he gave like a wedding
00:24:24
speech
00:24:25
>> he did have my favorite one of my
00:24:27
favorite lines when he said
00:24:28
>> what did he say
00:24:29
>> he said Tony was a sassy bigot
00:24:34
>> a sassy that's
00:24:35
>> there was Dana there was some [ __ ]
00:24:37
shrapnel flying right and left it
00:24:39
>> crazy
00:24:40
>> it was like
00:24:41
>> do you think they need to do it live.
00:24:43
Like I feel like people would still
00:24:44
watch it two hours condensed protected.
00:24:49
>> I think Netflix is on a live kick
00:24:51
because
00:24:52
>> the best ratings on network special was
00:24:56
all football all these things. So, you
00:24:59
know, 18 out of the top 20 shows in the
00:25:01
year of football games and
00:25:03
>> Monday Night. So, they go what's live?
00:25:05
What can we make live? Chris Rock do him
00:25:07
live. You know, just try things. have
00:25:09
the guy climbing the skyscraper live.
00:25:11
There's something about it like we have
00:25:13
to watch it now.
00:25:15
>> And so the roast is good live. I think
00:25:18
they'll keep it live, but maybe it's
00:25:20
better you see all the bumps and bruises
00:25:22
because there's some dead spots. There's
00:25:24
some [ __ ] where you're like, "Wait, am I
00:25:26
supposed to walk up now?" And you know,
00:25:28
they would take
00:25:28
>> It's like a podcast. People are doing
00:25:30
the dishes. Oh, he's on. You know, I
00:25:32
mean, it's like a background noise.
00:25:34
>> They just want to hear a little racism
00:25:35
in the background, you know. Would you
00:25:38
ever do live standup on Netflix?
00:25:41
>> The money's good.
00:25:42
>> I'm so scared regular. Rock said it was
00:25:44
so scary and he doesn't get that scared.
00:25:47
And
00:25:47
>> he's never been scared of anyone.
00:25:49
>> I don't think he would do it again.
00:25:51
>> He was scared when he was growing up,
00:25:53
but I think he's cooler now.
00:25:56
>> I think he did he did well. He just one
00:25:59
of the things I left to leave before
00:26:02
like right when I hit my hot spot, I'm
00:26:04
like got to go. Like
00:26:06
>> that's how I am in social situations.
00:26:08
That's how I'll be on this podcast. It's
00:26:10
already too long actually.
00:26:11
>> Always leave before your peak. Yeah.
00:26:14
>> Exactly. Keep wanting more.
00:26:16
>> So, what about Chris? How do you relate
00:26:18
to that? This what you just said.
00:26:20
>> Do you think he landed it perfectly? I
00:26:22
mean, he threw the mic over his head,
00:26:24
right?
00:26:25
>> Yeah. You said he got off. He should
00:26:26
have got off sooner.
00:26:27
>> Oh, the rock.
00:26:29
>> No, Chris.
00:26:29
>> Oh. Oh. Oh, Chris.
00:26:31
>> The Rock.
00:26:32
>> The Rock. We got we we start over. This
00:26:36
is
00:26:36
>> I've got a Rock Hudson junk that I do. I
00:26:39
do a Rock Hudson impression
00:26:42
>> and I also could do Rocky.
00:26:44
>> No Rocky.
00:26:46
>> That's the first time we've gone seven
00:26:47
minutes on a podcast talking about Rock
00:26:50
and it was
00:26:50
>> the wrong person.
00:26:51
>> Not Chris Rock. It was The Rock.
00:26:54
>> And we actually were agreeing for a very
00:26:55
long time.
00:26:56
>> And well, no, they they matched. They
00:26:58
matched pretty good.
00:26:59
>> Oh, you said is Rock scared of anyone?
00:27:01
And I was like, Chris Rock. That's what
00:27:04
I I was like,
00:27:05
>> well, you were talking about Chris Rock
00:27:06
the special and then and then Hannah
00:27:08
brought in Rock.
00:27:10
>> Yeah.
00:27:10
>> At the at the thing. Yeah. It was It was
00:27:13
a disaster.
00:27:15
>> It was a disaster.
00:27:16
>> It was a podcasting peak. That was
00:27:20
podcasting.
00:27:21
>> We're going to keep this. We're not
00:27:23
going to edit. But uh So, would you ever
00:27:26
be roasted if they were going to pay you
00:27:28
seven figures? Well, it's fun. Actually,
00:27:31
I um I'm not like a roast comic. Like
00:27:35
even when I was coming when I was doing
00:27:37
the clubs all the time, like I judge a
00:27:39
roast battle every now and then, but I
00:27:40
never
00:27:42
>> did it. I did that one thing for Netflix
00:27:44
where I did like roasting the year with
00:27:46
Jeff Ross, which we like it. They gave
00:27:49
us like five days to like come up with
00:27:51
material and it was it was like very
00:27:53
fun. I don't think I like attention.
00:27:57
So, I don't think there's anything
00:28:00
people would say that I would be like,
00:28:01
>> you go,
00:28:02
>> I can't say no right now because I do
00:28:03
love attention.
00:28:04
>> No, but I mean like I was even talking
00:28:06
to Chelsea before and she's like,
00:28:08
they're going to call me a [ __ ] And
00:28:09
I'm like, a [ __ ] is so like 2000s.
00:28:12
Like,
00:28:12
>> yeah. Oh, that's what you guys are
00:28:14
talking about. I like that angle. Like
00:28:16
trying to guess what they're going to
00:28:17
say. Call me a [ __ ] and I was like, do
00:28:20
better. And then like that she's old and
00:28:22
it's like she looks [ __ ] hot though.
00:28:24
>> She did look great.
00:28:25
>> She looked great. Um
00:28:26
>> I have to say
00:28:28
Yeah,
00:28:28
>> go ahead. Well, I'm just curious about
00:28:30
you in life. Like I had the need to
00:28:32
please disease for a long time. Then I
00:28:35
had five years of therapy.
00:28:36
>> Um
00:28:38
>> and so how how were you in life? Like
00:28:40
because yeah,
00:28:41
>> when you're watching these roast, you
00:28:43
see actual hurt. you you see pain, you
00:28:46
know, because because the idea is like,
00:28:48
is the is this how the world perceives
00:28:50
me?
00:28:51
>> Is this the way they think about me? Not
00:28:54
all the time you can see their good
00:28:55
sports. Kevin Hart's got so much muscle
00:28:57
memory around this. I think he is
00:28:59
literally impenetrable. You'll see is
00:29:01
this the way what's the crulest thing
00:29:04
they could say about me? So,
00:29:07
>> as a New Yorker, I'm originally from
00:29:09
Brooklyn, New York. Oh,
00:29:10
>> our our language is just [ __ ] on
00:29:13
each other. Just
00:29:15
>> Yeah.
00:29:15
>> Like I get I walk down my my dad it
00:29:20
roasts me non-stop and he's my best
00:29:22
friend.
00:29:23
>> No, no. I'll put red lipstick on. He's
00:29:25
like, "You look like a [ __ ] clown."
00:29:27
And I'm like, "It's so beautiful to be
00:29:29
seen by my father." You know?
00:29:31
>> And but that's how we show love. We make
00:29:32
fun of each other. So like making fun
00:29:35
like if if if I met David at the brunch
00:29:38
and he was like, "Hey, how are you?" I'd
00:29:39
be like, "He [ __ ] hates me." But
00:29:41
we're making fun of each other and I'm
00:29:42
like, "Love that guy." So,
00:29:45
>> yeah. Right.
00:29:46
>> But my um they would make fun of me for
00:29:49
being on reality TV. They'd make fun of
00:29:51
me for being a a woman in comedy. They'd
00:29:54
make fun of me for
00:29:56
I mean
00:29:58
>> that have an older husband. Um like and
00:30:00
nothing that I haven't heard. I've I've
00:30:02
survived reality TV internet. Like
00:30:04
>> Yeah. I uh
00:30:06
>> you've survived those whispers in the
00:30:07
microphone when they go back and look at
00:30:09
the tapes and they're like these two
00:30:10
they and you're like
00:30:12
>> I've I've done the you go on stage all
00:30:14
the male comics leave cuz the girls on
00:30:16
stage like that's the most painful like
00:30:19
but
00:30:21
what comedy clothes is that you go on
00:30:23
stage
00:30:23
>> all like there's like a good show on and
00:30:26
like every comic's on and everyone's
00:30:27
hanging by the you know wherever
00:30:30
watching and then you go up and
00:30:31
everyone's gone. I'm like what the [ __ ]
00:30:34
Where do you go on to do your sets?
00:30:35
Where do you practice?
00:30:37
>> So I came up at the stand like I really
00:30:40
lived at the stand.
00:30:41
>> Okay.
00:30:42
>> During co we were like on the sidewalk.
00:30:45
There'd be like a full family children
00:30:47
and I'd be just talking about
00:30:50
>> you know my [ __ ] and seeing
00:30:54
>> we do.
00:30:56
You know how it is. Um, but just saying
00:30:59
crazy [ __ ] and then and you just see
00:31:01
like a dog going by just looking at you,
00:31:03
just disappointed in you.
00:31:04
>> But I I think like that really got me
00:31:07
kept me sane too cuz I had come from
00:31:09
reality TV and I was like, I just want
00:31:12
to be myself and be on stage and and off
00:31:16
the internet and just like feeling
00:31:17
alive.
00:31:19
>> And as a former tennis player, standup
00:31:21
was very similar to me than tennis. Like
00:31:23
you're alone out there. You're battling
00:31:25
your demons. and I just got obsessed
00:31:28
with it.
00:31:29
>> So, how I I was just curious because
00:31:30
you're on the reality show and then you
00:31:32
become this. How long did it take you or
00:31:34
did you was it were you doing it all
00:31:36
along or why did you leave?
00:31:39
>> How did you get really good at this?
00:31:41
>> All great questions. So, when I was
00:31:44
>> Thank you, Hannah.
00:31:46
>> In 2017, I started working for this like
00:31:50
company called Bches where they make
00:31:52
funny memes. So, I was the one writing
00:31:54
like funny tweets. I was writing
00:31:56
sketches. So, it was like a jokewriting
00:31:58
boot camp, but I never wanted to be a
00:32:00
stand-up comedian. I love standup
00:32:01
comedy, but I just didn't see that for
00:32:03
me. But, I met a lot of New York
00:32:05
standups because I would put them in my
00:32:07
like
00:32:08
>> Oh,
00:32:09
>> sketches and stuff. And then I started
00:32:12
>> Vox Pop
00:32:13
>> and my what?
00:32:14
>> What is Vox Pop?
00:32:17
>> Oh, that was that was I had a sales job
00:32:20
co- calling sales before that.
00:32:22
>> Oh, I'm sorry. Because it says part of
00:32:24
betches. It says her vox pop comedy.
00:32:28
>> Oh, I've no sounds like
00:32:30
>> interview series.
00:32:32
>> There maybe. Who knows? I don't know.
00:32:35
>> I have I have vox pop.
00:32:38
>> I I got it treated.
00:32:40
>> I have to legally tell you.
00:32:41
>> It's a pill. It's a pill or two. Pill
00:32:43
and a half.
00:32:43
>> Okay, go ahead. I slowed you down. So,
00:32:44
back to how you became a great
00:32:46
>> I'm posting sketches online and whatever
00:32:48
and I never considered standup and then
00:32:50
I get asked to do a reality TV show and
00:32:54
I'm like [ __ ] it. I'm 26. I'm single. I
00:32:57
didn't think I am a fit for reality TV
00:33:00
but whatever. Um, I like attention.
00:33:03
Let's let's I wanted to be on camera
00:33:05
which is embarrassing. Would you you
00:33:07
know when you admit to yourself you want
00:33:08
to be on camera?
00:33:09
>> I think we all are embarrassing but yes.
00:33:11
>> Yes. So then I I started podcasting
00:33:16
pretty early. I had my own like mental
00:33:18
health comedy pod and I my first live
00:33:21
show was at Carolines in New York City
00:33:24
and it was a soldout show cuz I had just
00:33:27
started the reality TV show and my
00:33:30
friend
00:33:31
>> I had this was really [ __ ] up. I had a
00:33:33
I had a bunch of friends in standup who
00:33:35
were like we think you have the chops.
00:33:37
You're writing jokes all the time. try
00:33:39
we dare you to try some standup at the
00:33:41
top of your show which any standup would
00:33:43
say is you shouldn't do
00:33:45
>> but I basically took all my tweets and
00:33:47
stuff and I'm like that's a premise
00:33:49
that's a punchline and I I put them in
00:33:51
sections and I love writing and
00:33:54
>> I thought I was going to bomb. I also
00:33:57
had a lot of anxiety when I was a tennis
00:33:59
player with performance like whenever I
00:34:02
could fold or like a cheap beach chair I
00:34:05
would. Um, so I was like, "Oh no, I'm
00:34:08
putting myself up again to [ __ ]
00:34:09
embarrass myself." But I I swear to God,
00:34:12
I got on stage and I felt weirdly calm.
00:34:16
And after the show, everyone was like,
00:34:18
the stand up in the beginning was our
00:34:20
favorite part. And then I had a bunch of
00:34:23
people standups be like, "If you want to
00:34:25
do this the right way, you got to get up
00:34:27
four times a night."
00:34:29
And I kind of just put my head down and
00:34:32
did that. And I got fired from the
00:34:33
reality TV show.
00:34:35
So that was a beautiful coincidence to
00:34:37
then be
00:34:38
>> who dropped the hammer on you. Did
00:34:39
somebody fire you on there?
00:34:41
>> It was it was more like you if you have
00:34:44
to get along with the friend group.
00:34:47
>> Oh, you didn't like So you didn't play
00:34:48
well with others.
00:34:50
>> They were like, "We don't want you here
00:34:53
anymore." And I was like, "Okay, [ __ ]
00:34:54
you guys." But the comedians in my life
00:34:58
kept me sane because I would tell them
00:34:59
all the crazy stuff that happens on
00:35:01
reality TV, like all the editing and the
00:35:03
franken bites and what they're cutting
00:35:04
out.
00:35:05
>> And my comedy friends thought it was so
00:35:07
funny. So instead of like offing myself
00:35:10
cuz I was having a horrible time on
00:35:12
reality TV, my stand-up comedy friends
00:35:14
were like, "That's hilarious. Use that
00:35:17
on stage."
00:35:18
>> Oh.
00:35:19
>> And it was kind of like a therapeutic
00:35:21
thing to fall into standup.
00:35:24
Well, did Summerhouse That was his call,
00:35:26
right? So, you're kind of when you go up
00:35:28
the first time, I just wanted to get the
00:35:30
audience kind of know you and also you
00:35:32
had a podcast. So, you weren't just a
00:35:35
waitress who went on stage.
00:35:36
>> Yeah.
00:35:37
>> No, no, no. But I I was at a point
00:35:39
though where at when I ended my reality
00:35:42
TV career, it was three years, two
00:35:44
amazing, beautiful years. One bad year.
00:35:47
>> When I went on stage, I I felt like
00:35:49
people hated me. like I I felt like I
00:35:53
had a a bad scent on me and I feel like
00:35:56
as a comedian people have to trust you
00:35:59
>> to
00:35:59
>> you have to be likable. Like that's the
00:36:01
number one part. So going on stage I had
00:36:05
to overcome like these people think I'm
00:36:07
a type of way and I have to show like
00:36:10
I'd rather you just be like oh I don't
00:36:12
like Hannah for Hannah then I don't like
00:36:14
her for this scene. That isn't how it
00:36:17
actually happened. Oh, also most people
00:36:20
walk up and there's a blank slate. Like
00:36:22
you have to win them over one way or the
00:36:24
other. They just see you. There's no
00:36:26
preconceived notions. So you're going in
00:36:28
sort of at a deficit like I think they
00:36:31
don't like me already.
00:36:33
>> Yes. But I also was so fortunate that I
00:36:35
could sell tickets
00:36:37
>> enough like I could sell I wasn't
00:36:38
selling out clubs but I was selling
00:36:40
enough to go on the road. So, I had
00:36:42
someone tell me like, "Look, you'll be
00:36:45
able to sell the tickets the first time,
00:36:47
but if it's not good, they're not gonna
00:36:48
come back."
00:36:49
>> So, I kind of had this like this is your
00:36:51
chance. But, um,
00:36:53
>> I I'm a creative person and I just I was
00:36:57
like, "Thank God I'm not doing reality
00:36:58
TV anymore and I want to write my own
00:37:00
stuff and be a performer and make people
00:37:03
bring people joy, you know?"
00:37:05
So it ended up very pretty quickly like
00:37:10
four years, five years into standup was
00:37:13
my first Netflix special.
00:37:14
>> God, it's a lot of pressure to go up
00:37:15
because a lot of people have to build an
00:37:16
audience and they get to get better
00:37:18
while they do it. But you have the crowd
00:37:20
there. It's almost like
00:37:22
>> harder to say, why aren't you this good
00:37:25
like a professional headline? You're
00:37:26
like, I just started. And and they also
00:37:29
have to do lots of time probably. Well,
00:37:31
I I say that I had to do an hour very
00:37:35
early. So, even when I said, "Oh, I'm
00:37:38
two years into comedy." I'd been doing
00:37:39
an hour the whole time.
00:37:41
>> So, while doing sets in between, but um
00:37:44
I feel like I had so much stage time.
00:37:47
And when I first started, I actually
00:37:48
started with I joke that I had 45
00:37:51
minutes and I got off stage and they're
00:37:52
like, "You did 33 minutes in a Q&A."
00:37:54
Like, I was fighting for my life.
00:37:56
>> Yeah, for sure. But then you like get
00:37:59
one good story and next thing you know
00:38:00
you're 40.
00:38:02
>> And I have a lot of friends who were
00:38:04
like I I I'm not ready for an hour. I'm
00:38:06
not ready for an hour. And I kind of
00:38:08
just went about it in a my own way. I
00:38:11
think if I went the traditional way, I
00:38:14
wouldn't be where I am today because I'd
00:38:15
still be like working on my I mean when
00:38:18
I got JFL New Faces, I never had had a
00:38:21
type five. I had to reverse engineer
00:38:25
what my type five would be because I
00:38:26
started
00:38:27
>> with 15 at the clubs.
00:38:31
>> Did you reverse engineer hilar
00:38:33
>> I love your resume and how you got into
00:38:34
it. I just wondered when in those five
00:38:36
years did you have times when you're
00:38:38
like um something happened on stage and
00:38:41
it was epiphal like this is my lane or
00:38:43
this is winding down this is what I do
00:38:45
this is what I'm best at you know
00:38:47
because David had that you know cuz he
00:38:48
was right out of eighth grade when he
00:38:50
got started but remember David the the
00:38:53
owner of the club said to David the
00:38:55
throwaways between the lines there's
00:38:57
your sweet spot right David
00:39:00
>> he said my first time he said
00:39:02
>> I go how was Uh when it was only amateur
00:39:05
night, like 3 minutes, but he goes, "Uh,
00:39:09
it was all right. That material wasn't
00:39:11
that great." He goes, "Actually, what
00:39:13
you were saying between was funnier."
00:39:15
Then he walked away and I was like,
00:39:16
>> did
00:39:17
>> then I listened to it and I was like, I
00:39:19
was saying stuff in between commenting
00:39:22
and that sort of was my whole thing
00:39:24
>> because that was your authentic self.
00:39:27
>> Yeah. and you are doing something you
00:39:29
like with comedy versus a reality show
00:39:31
which you're not really doing anything.
00:39:32
You're just like
00:39:33
>> physically there
00:39:35
>> but in front of the camera you're
00:39:36
getting used to pressure and performance
00:39:39
being hated.
00:39:40
>> They would feel Yeah. Well, I think it
00:39:42
was so great for my career for sure.
00:39:44
Like now I'm so my ego has been broken
00:39:47
so many times that now like when and now
00:39:50
I know when to speak when not to speak.
00:39:52
Like when I was on reality TV, I was
00:39:53
just like, I'm just going to say my
00:39:55
truth. And now I'm like, this is not you
00:39:59
have to protect yourself and protect
00:40:01
your family at all times.
00:40:03
>> I've made so many mistakes when I was
00:40:05
young. So now that I'm like really into
00:40:07
standup, I feel smarter.
00:40:09
>> Um, but yeah, it was
00:40:12
>> I did get I have to give credit to my
00:40:14
husband who's
00:40:15
>> he's a big standup in Ireland. His whole
00:40:18
career was in Ireland.
00:40:18
>> Oh, really? Oh, that's great to hear.
00:40:21
Yeah. So, he's like experienced a lot.
00:40:23
He was the one who when I got my first
00:40:26
Netflix special offer, he was like,
00:40:28
"Yeah, no, you need a tour for eight
00:40:30
more months." And if he wasn't there, I
00:40:32
would have just been like, "Okay, let's
00:40:34
film it." And he also told me cuz I just
00:40:38
wanted to kill and I I'm a perfectionist
00:40:40
kind of. So, I'd go on stage and I just
00:40:42
like hit it every time. And he was like,
00:40:46
"Give yourself permission to get lost on
00:40:48
stage. Like not know where you are. Like
00:40:51
the ma, like what was said to you, like
00:40:53
the magic is when you're trying to
00:40:55
figure it out." And he's like, "You're
00:40:56
not going to get better unless you're
00:40:58
loose." And that's where I kind of
00:41:00
started to get more into like the crowd
00:41:02
work, which I think kind of gave me um a
00:41:07
little bit of my voice because I feel
00:41:08
like I talk to people like they're my
00:41:10
friend. Like I'm not just like and guy
00:41:12
in the front with the shirt. Like I I I
00:41:14
actually try to like understand them.
00:41:17
>> Yeah.
00:41:17
>> And and doing the clubs, it's so fun to
00:41:20
talk to the audience, especially when
00:41:22
you're sick of your material. So I think
00:41:24
crowd work was also where I was able to
00:41:26
obviously do clips and stuff, but where
00:41:28
I was able to find my perspective.
00:41:31
>> Yeah. Cuz I think sometimes with
00:41:33
specials, if you don't have multiple
00:41:36
times shooting it, if it's just one
00:41:37
shot, you can you don't give yourself
00:41:40
permission to be playful cuz this is
00:41:41
your only time. They feel like you're
00:41:43
doing an outline. But I do think being
00:41:45
alive in the frame on stage, they can
00:41:48
tell if you're alive. You still got your
00:41:50
act, but there's these little
00:41:51
throwaways. You go to someone that all
00:41:54
does. So, um, would your husband be
00:41:57
willing to watch my stand up and just
00:41:59
sit me down for a little? He would love
00:42:01
to and he can talk and help you with
00:42:03
other things if you want if you're
00:42:04
having trouble with any fights with
00:42:06
anyone.
00:42:07
>> No, that was that was great advice.
00:42:09
Yeah, really
00:42:10
>> cuz Yeah, he's like my little Russian
00:42:12
gymnastics coach. But I also think my
00:42:14
second special though, obviously like
00:42:16
I'm a better standup, but I was just
00:42:18
sillier. Like when you're more
00:42:20
confident, you're just like, "Yeah, I
00:42:22
could do this voice, but what if I
00:42:24
really did that voice and leaned in and
00:42:26
committed to it?" So, I think that's my
00:42:28
comedy's just gotten like even looser.
00:42:31
>> You just get a little
00:42:32
>> That's the best place place to be where
00:42:35
you're just not
00:42:37
>> thinking up there at all and you're just
00:42:39
going totally by instinct at moments and
00:42:41
hitting things really hard or really
00:42:43
trying to entertain yourself a little
00:42:44
bit.
00:42:45
>> Yeah. And then it's funny how sometimes
00:42:46
when you like go less it's funnier with
00:42:49
a voice, like if you say it really
00:42:51
softly. So, I've just been having so
00:42:53
much fun on tour just playing more and
00:42:57
cuz I I am like an energy comic. I'm not
00:42:59
like just doing like genius oneliners
00:43:02
and being like sit with that slick one.
00:43:05
Like
00:43:07
>> let me sit
00:43:08
>> figure that one out.
00:43:10
>> That's a thinker.
00:43:12
>> I'm like carry the wand. Let me know if
00:43:14
that
00:43:15
>> Yeah, mine aren't all thinkers. Uh
00:43:18
there's stinkers when you have a podcast
00:43:21
that does well like Dana and I sometimes
00:43:24
go out together but Dana does fine on
00:43:26
his own but sometimes it's fun. Well, we
00:43:29
both go out on our own also. You know
00:43:31
what I mean? But we also could go out
00:43:33
together. So do you do a podcast tour
00:43:36
and then you do like a regular tour or
00:43:38
something?
00:43:38
>> Yeah. So
00:43:38
>> or do you not do that with a podcast? I
00:43:40
did my standup tour for my first special
00:43:44
and then Paige and I went on the road
00:43:46
for a Giggly Squad tour which was
00:43:48
bonkers. We did like a PowerPoint which
00:43:50
by the way PowerPoints are hilarious. I
00:43:53
highly recommend especially if you're
00:43:54
forgetful and when you just go to the
00:43:57
next slide it can hit so hard. Highly
00:43:59
recommend.
00:44:00
>> Oh it just gets a big laugh whatever you
00:44:02
show. Oh that's funny. It's a little bit
00:44:04
of work up front but yeah you could do
00:44:05
it
00:44:06
>> once you're set. That's the intern get
00:44:08
there to put some stuff together. So,
00:44:10
>> is she okay on the road? That's a tough
00:44:12
That life is tough.
00:44:14
>> You Okay, so Paige it I'm a little
00:44:17
sturdier. Paige is a dainty, classy
00:44:21
angel. Um, she she like gets carried
00:44:24
places like I put her on my back like
00:44:26
when I'm with her. I'm her boyfriend.
00:44:28
I'm putting her luggage away
00:44:30
>> and she was like so excited about all
00:44:32
the outfits and stuff, but we were
00:44:34
worked like dogs. like
00:44:36
>> we would have two shows a night, four
00:44:39
four in a four four in a row, four
00:44:41
cities.
00:44:42
>> And she started like actually having
00:44:45
like um panic attacks.
00:44:48
>> Sure. That's [ __ ] tough.
00:44:50
>> And we were in Denver. There was no air
00:44:53
and she was like trying to put on a
00:44:55
corset and she just like started crying
00:44:58
and we were we were like there's 3,000
00:45:01
girls waiting and I was like, "Hey, can
00:45:03
I talk to you for a second?" Um,
00:45:06
are you ready? And we like had to I
00:45:10
basically kicked her onto the stage and
00:45:12
I was like, the adrenaline will hit. Get
00:45:14
the [ __ ] out there. We got her some beta
00:45:16
blockers, but she was having other stuff
00:45:17
going on. I think tour, if you're
00:45:20
stressed about other things, tour will
00:45:22
just take it to the next level. But, um,
00:45:24
we finished tour and she's like, I can't
00:45:26
wait to do that again. So,
00:45:28
>> Oh, she liked it. I mean, at least
00:45:30
you're sitting in one city with the
00:45:33
dayto-day flying is also what gets to
00:45:35
you. Like, pack, go, pack, get up, pack,
00:45:38
go. And you're like,
00:45:39
>> and your body, like, I'm not working
00:45:41
out. I'm not eating healthy. And then
00:45:43
you look in the mirror and I just tell
00:45:44
myself I'm bloated from the flights. But
00:45:46
it's not that.
00:45:48
>> It's not that.
00:45:50
>> Trust me, great.
00:45:51
>> Oh, yeah. You do. Oh, I have a question
00:45:53
for you about standup. Yeah.
00:45:55
>> When you do a special
00:45:56
>> Mhm.
00:45:57
>> Do you think the female comics are more
00:45:59
pressured to really glam up because you
00:46:02
look great in your special, but
00:46:04
>> thank you.
00:46:04
>> We were saying like Dane was like Joan
00:46:06
Rivers and Phyis Diller,
00:46:07
>> Tony Fields, Phyis Diller.
00:46:10
>> Yeah, there's Rosio. You know, this it's
00:46:13
kind of newish of
00:46:14
>> like a guy could get away with hoodie,
00:46:16
just a hoodie.
00:46:17
>> I always say I love these guys that just
00:46:20
dress like school shooters, get on
00:46:22
stage.
00:46:23
I mean, Shane, love of my life, did MSG
00:46:27
with like his hair was just straight up
00:46:29
like he just woke up from a nap.
00:46:31
>> Who gives a [ __ ]
00:46:32
>> And that's a full arena. Like they can
00:46:34
see the under. And it was adorable.
00:46:36
Yeah. Um I think
00:46:39
>> it does suck that I have to do all this
00:46:42
glam where I'm like the boys don't have
00:46:44
to do that, but the girls get into it.
00:46:47
Like I did like a custom outfit from
00:46:50
this brand, Flirt Mallal. It's French.
00:46:53
>> And then I had fake hair.
00:46:54
>> I saw the trailer. Yeah. Fake hair.
00:46:57
>> There's more opportunities for that
00:46:59
stuff.
00:47:00
>> Well, I hate to say it because I've
00:47:02
always been very like I love comedy cuz
00:47:05
just about being funny, but then like
00:47:06
the better you look, the more stuff
00:47:09
you're getting. And
00:47:10
>> yeah,
00:47:10
>> I got a spray tan. I had full glam. I
00:47:14
had a corset that kept ripping. They're
00:47:16
sewing it back. It's all this chaos in
00:47:18
addition to being like, "And now be
00:47:20
[ __ ] hilarious." Yeah.
00:47:22
>> Which I don't love cuz I'm an athlete.
00:47:24
Like I go when I would go compete, I
00:47:26
didn't have to worry about if my hair
00:47:28
was in the right position. I'm like,
00:47:29
let's just play.
00:47:31
>> Boy. Yeah. You can be a little bit of
00:47:32
tomboy comedian, too. But I I go out
00:47:36
with Nikki Glazer a lot. And
00:47:37
>> yes,
00:47:37
>> she always looks great.
00:47:39
>> We just did Caesars this weekend. I'm
00:47:41
like,
00:47:41
>> she looks so good. I did have a hoodie
00:47:43
on the first night and we were laughing
00:47:45
like it's the same exact [ __ ] But I'm
00:47:48
so adorable that it's it's hard to
00:47:50
explain. I'll tell you guys after
00:47:53
>> I I have like a working on material
00:47:55
outfit. Like you know when you're
00:47:57
working on new stuff, that's when you
00:47:59
come in with the hoodie. I'm working I'm
00:48:00
working on some
00:48:01
>> Don't expect too much.
00:48:03
>> Yeah, I just woke up. I forgot
00:48:05
everything. But
00:48:06
>> some notes.
00:48:07
>> I didn't start dressing up really until
00:48:09
I started doing theaters and I felt like
00:48:10
I was just like respectful. Yeah, I feel
00:48:13
it. I feel
00:48:14
>> Well, I have to say the bit that you
00:48:15
land in the trailer was enhanced by your
00:48:18
look, the twerking bit, you know, and
00:48:20
you're just because the the the outfit
00:48:22
was flaring out and the way you were
00:48:24
moving. It was very really funny. I
00:48:26
mean,
00:48:26
>> thank you. I mean, you are a performer,
00:48:28
so but some guys are would look weird if
00:48:30
they were in a suit
00:48:32
>> and that's not their vibe.
00:48:34
>> Yeah.
00:48:34
>> Yeah. Melanie has a suit. Seinfeld has a
00:48:37
suit. You know, it works for them.
00:48:40
>> I'm somewhere in the middle. I'm not
00:48:41
full hoodie, but I rarely wear them. But
00:48:43
it was funny. I was thinking, who was
00:48:45
doing this? Tim Dylan? Like, why am I
00:48:47
falling apart like this? And I I blame
00:48:51
Tim. I blame Shane.
00:48:54
I'm like I I try to be like, well, I'm
00:48:56
going to a nice dinner because they pay
00:48:59
money. There's something weird about
00:49:01
that. You go, I
00:49:02
>> Well, it's like you're all showing up to
00:49:03
the same event. My girls get dressed up
00:49:05
for my like theater shows. They
00:49:08
>> Oh, that's nice. It is actually
00:49:11
I after CO I kind of stopped because I
00:49:13
was it was too intense. But I
00:49:15
>> kept getting co getting CO and I started
00:49:18
CO from my door.
00:49:20
>> But a lot of the girls they really do
00:49:22
look like me who come to my show. So
00:49:24
it's funny cuz when I try to go in the
00:49:26
back of the stage door security's like
00:49:28
ma'am this is the stage door and I dress
00:49:31
in a tie for my tour.
00:49:33
>> I dress in a tie cuz that's like my my
00:49:35
outfit for this tour. I can't come up
00:49:37
with new outfits. I'm like, "This is my
00:49:38
uniform." And all the girls show up in
00:49:40
ties. So all of us look the same.
00:49:43
>> So security's like, "You can't come in."
00:49:45
And I'm like, "That's me." And he's
00:49:47
like, "You look like her." Maybe like 10
00:49:50
times on tour. They've Security's been
00:49:51
like, "Miss, you can't go in there."
00:49:54
>> Yeah. Miss, that's for the star.
00:49:56
>> Yeah. Literally.
00:49:59
>> Do you have a nickname for your fans?
00:50:01
Are they called Hannah's or is there a
00:50:03
funny kind of what are they? Burmers.
00:50:05
>> They're the gigglers. They're the
00:50:06
gigglers.
00:50:07
>> Oh, the gigglers. Okay.
00:50:08
>> Yeah.
00:50:08
>> All right. Now, where the giggly squad
00:50:10
come up?
00:50:10
>> Do you ever go like this on stage? Where
00:50:12
are my gigglers?
00:50:13
>> Where are my gigglers at?
00:50:15
>> You got I tell all my openers if there's
00:50:17
ever low energy, just say gigglers. And
00:50:19
they'll [ __ ] lose their mind. Like
00:50:21
just a few words.
00:50:23
>> And also they're like you see them at
00:50:25
the airport and they'll just be like,
00:50:26
"I'm a giggler." And walk by. It's like
00:50:28
a weird Illuminati.
00:50:30
>> I'm going to say in my act to get
00:50:31
laughs. Weird.
00:50:32
>> Yes, it could work. It could work. Our
00:50:35
title is too long for that. People at
00:50:37
the airport, I'm a fly on the
00:50:39
>> Yeah. What do you call them?
00:50:41
>> They call them frequent flyers.
00:50:42
>> Fly on the waller.
00:50:44
>> Very cute.
00:50:45
>> Many of them,
00:50:46
>> David. You know, you'll go up there and
00:50:47
go, "Where's my flies?" That's like one
00:50:50
guy.
00:50:50
>> I don't think I've ever said where
00:50:51
>> my flies at.
00:50:53
>> Where's my flies?
00:50:54
>> No, I said
00:50:56
>> I said no walkouts.
00:50:58
I like Zzz.
00:51:03
Let me hear you.
00:51:04
>> Where's my Where's my
00:51:08
>> I'm going to Where are fans that land
00:51:10
and stuff and rub their hands and poop?
00:51:13
>> Yeah. Yes.
00:51:15
I actually was on a flight with Nikki
00:51:17
Glazer last night.
00:51:19
>> Shut it.
00:51:20
>> And I said, "I'm talking to your man
00:51:22
tomorrow. What should I say?"
00:51:25
>> The
00:51:27
Yes. Nikki and I
00:51:28
>> What' she say? What'd she say?
00:51:30
>> What? She was like,
00:51:30
>> "What's the word on the street around?"
00:51:32
like you and I were just we were
00:51:33
gossiping. She was like, "Oh, he's the
00:51:35
sweetest. She's the sweetest." And I was
00:51:38
like, "Whatever." She
00:51:40
>> I it was
00:51:41
>> if I had enough time, I would have
00:51:42
gotten something out of her.
00:51:44
>> But she's the best. She's been inspiring
00:51:46
me since day one.
00:51:47
>> She like brought me around the cellar
00:51:49
back in the day when I was like a baby.
00:51:51
I was like, "How do you remember all
00:51:52
your jokes?" And she was answering my
00:51:54
questions.
00:51:55
>> She's good at it. She can remember.
00:51:56
She's like, "I'm learning stuff." It's
00:51:58
literally does not look down at her
00:52:00
notes. It's nonstop.
00:52:03
>> Yes. And I'm like, [ __ ] there's a
00:52:04
hundred jokes in every minute.
00:52:07
>> [ __ ] I go, this is your rough thrown
00:52:09
together [ __ ] I'm back there like this.
00:52:12
>> She has a follower and it's hard. She's
00:52:15
too smart.
00:52:16
>> Yeah, she is good, but she just keeps
00:52:18
She's a grinder, though.
00:52:20
>> Where are you? Go. Go ahead.
00:52:22
>> No, you know, Doner.
00:52:24
Well, I'm just curious about like, you
00:52:26
know, we all have this 10-year-old
00:52:27
person inside of us where,
00:52:29
>> oh, you see, you know, I used to see Rob
00:52:31
Williams and go, I I better get better.
00:52:33
I got to be, you know, I gota I got to
00:52:35
be as good as him.
00:52:36
>> Sure.
00:52:36
>> So, so we have that, but then like, so
00:52:39
Nikki's not like she can override it and
00:52:43
not try to sabotage it. I don't even
00:52:44
read it to old, you know, she's like
00:52:47
she's actually being nice. Like, this
00:52:49
woman clearly is no threat. No, I'm
00:52:51
kidding. But uh
00:52:53
>> No, Nikki and I have a very we have a
00:52:56
long backstory, Nikki and I. And it's we
00:52:59
love each other a lot.
00:53:00
>> Yeah.
00:53:01
>> Oh, that's good. Yeah. Well, someone has
00:53:02
your back. I just
00:53:03
>> also I'm a brunette, she's a blonde,
00:53:06
>> so that helps with the lack of beef.
00:53:10
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh
00:53:12
>> oh. Dana,
00:53:13
>> like put us on a lineup together and
00:53:16
it's okay.
00:53:17
>> Yeah. But then
00:53:18
>> when someone in show business climbs the
00:53:20
ladder and you go in the green room,
00:53:22
there's just a little bit of energy like
00:53:24
like you're f Oh, she's Oh, she's famous
00:53:27
now. You know, I mean, it's just a
00:53:28
little
00:53:29
>> When I was coming up, Nikki's always
00:53:30
been famous to me.
00:53:32
>> Yeah.
00:53:32
>> Like I recent
00:53:34
>> When I met her, I was like, I'm obsessed
00:53:36
with you. You're incredible. You're
00:53:38
everything. Like I I feel like everyone
00:53:40
else was late to catch John. It's just
00:53:42
now she's like friends with like
00:53:43
Leonardo DiCaprio and stuff.
00:53:45
>> Yeah. But I feel like when you meet
00:53:47
someone before they pop, you always have
00:53:50
like a soft spot for each other. Even
00:53:51
though she's been famous, but even like
00:53:53
with Shane, I'm always like, I know who
00:53:55
you are. I know you.
00:53:58
>> I remember you. But Oh, yeah.
00:54:00
>> I mean, you guys fame energy is is
00:54:03
weird.
00:54:04
>> It's weird.
00:54:05
>> Uh, it is. It is weird. Especially, you
00:54:07
know,
00:54:08
>> famous people non-stop in Hollywood
00:54:10
>> with friends, like friends who knew you
00:54:11
in high school or your family. it it
00:54:14
starts to tilt things in a way like if
00:54:16
someone's making a fuss around you, you
00:54:18
know, all that stuff. I mean, it's not
00:54:20
first world problems, you know, but you
00:54:22
know what I mean.
00:54:23
>> Weird psychology.
00:54:25
>> You go to Sports Bar in Arizona and I
00:54:26
go, "Hey, can I sit here?" They go,
00:54:28
"Hey, whatever King Tut needs, clear it
00:54:30
away."
00:54:32
>> Well, I'm just getting some potato
00:54:33
skins. It's not that big a deal.
00:54:36
>> But
00:54:36
>> all hail Caesar. But it is funny like
00:54:41
what people literally change after like
00:54:44
completely different person. I'm like oh
00:54:46
you've been through the
00:54:48
it's like they get a a whole
00:54:50
transformation emotionally, physically
00:54:52
they carry themselves differently.
00:54:53
>> Everything I think this is how I do how
00:54:56
I think of what happens in that process.
00:54:58
It's like I'm oh I'm funny. Oh I'm
00:55:00
making money is funny. I'm I'm really
00:55:02
funny. I'm funny. I'm I'm super funny.
00:55:05
I'm Oh, wait. I'm important.
00:55:09
>> Ooh, that's bad.
00:55:10
>> That's bad. That's very
00:55:12
>> in a nutshell.
00:55:15
>> This is what he says in his mirror every
00:55:17
morning.
00:55:18
>> Yeah.
00:55:20
>> He has it on a postit.
00:55:21
>> You is good. You is important.
00:55:23
>> You is good. You the man.
00:55:26
>> You the [ __ ]
00:55:28
>> Yeah.
00:55:29
>> You that you people. Wherever the [ __ ]
00:55:31
goes to hide, you that [ __ ] Haters be
00:55:34
hated.
00:55:36
>> That's right.
00:55:37
>> And love is be loving.
00:55:38
>> All right. What I got I I have a another
00:55:40
question for Hannah before we boot her
00:55:41
out of here.
00:55:42
>> Uh you you might do a show with Amy
00:55:46
Polar at you two bozos together.
00:55:49
>> And weird weird alert. I'm getting a I
00:55:52
don't recognize the number.
00:55:54
>> That's Tucson for sure. That's the area
00:55:56
code. I'm from Arizona.
00:55:57
>> I know. Well, I think I know it might
00:55:59
be, but I'm not going to answer it. Do
00:56:00
you are you sure you don't want to
00:56:01
expose them on the pod right now?
00:56:03
>> Who's calling you from rehab?
00:56:05
>> No, I I
00:56:07
there's a good one in Tucson.
00:56:09
>> I think
00:56:11
there are a lot of rehab.
00:56:12
>> They're about They're apologizing for
00:56:13
something. They're in a step.
00:56:15
>> Oh, yeah. They got to say sorry.
00:56:16
>> Yeah.
00:56:17
>> I'm not sure.
00:56:18
>> Do you have any advice for working
00:56:19
professionally with Amy?
00:56:22
>> No. Amy's lovely. I don't know her as
00:56:24
well as probably Dana, but she's she's
00:56:26
>> What do you mean? How did we get to Amy?
00:56:27
I was looking
00:56:28
>> Amy Polar is producing her next
00:56:29
>> Oh, Amy Polar. Yeah, she's
00:56:31
>> show. Would it be a sitcom? Would it be
00:56:33
a reality show? What would it be?
00:56:35
>> So, it's a scripted comedy right now
00:56:37
that we're still trying to crack,
00:56:39
>> but like a single camera. You don't know
00:56:41
yet?
00:56:41
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz it's people know
00:56:44
Paige and I from a a reality show. So,
00:56:46
we have to be kind of smart with it
00:56:48
where it's not too different but also
00:56:51
not too similar because then it's like
00:56:52
just do a curb type thing. So, we're
00:56:55
figuring
00:56:55
>> very hard to do those show. I'm not
00:56:57
saying you couldn't do it. I'm saying
00:56:58
when people say curb or if I've even
00:57:01
caught myself going, "Oh, I'd like to do
00:57:02
something like that."
00:57:04
>> At least I even know how [ __ ] hard it
00:57:05
is cuz we were around for Larry Sanders
00:57:07
show which was [ __ ] great.
00:57:09
>> Yes.
00:57:09
>> Yeah. And how hard we'd been on it a
00:57:11
little bit, but we knew Shanley and he
00:57:13
was like going insane how hard it was.
00:57:15
>> Yeah.
00:57:16
>> But it comes out great.
00:57:17
>> But it looks so easy and effortless. Oh,
00:57:22
they just [ __ ] had a little banter.
00:57:24
And
00:57:24
>> I could do that and it's Yeah, bigger.
00:57:26
>> I know it's hard. It's Sometimes it's
00:57:28
this, you know, with Larry David, it's
00:57:31
it feels like, you know, like a standup
00:57:33
observation
00:57:34
just about awkwardness or the puffy
00:57:36
pants or whatever it was, you know, just
00:57:38
those little observations. And then he
00:57:40
just main thing he said to us is no, the
00:57:43
only rule on the set is no one tries to
00:57:45
be funny. No one thinks they're being
00:57:47
funny. That's that was the way.
00:57:49
>> No, no one was performative. If they
00:57:51
started trying to be funny, it just had
00:57:53
to be
00:57:54
>> thrown away.
00:57:55
>> More auditions when people be funny,
00:57:56
they go, "That's enough. Get out of
00:57:58
here."
00:57:58
>> Because the hyperbolic,
00:58:00
>> you know, they like throwaways. They
00:58:01
like
00:58:02
>> I know every read they're like, "We want
00:58:03
this grounded."
00:58:05
>> Yeah.
00:58:06
>> After 10 times, they go for get out of
00:58:08
here. Like they don't know what that
00:58:09
means.
00:58:09
>> But that's why I guess the show's fun
00:58:11
cuz you're watching comedians in their
00:58:14
like daytoday
00:58:16
>> being very small.
00:58:17
>> Yeah. like what it's like if they were
00:58:19
just ordering coffee how they'd act and
00:58:21
that's fascinating actually but a lot of
00:58:23
these comics can't turn off.
00:58:25
>> Yeah, true.
00:58:26
>> Well, I don't know how you two are
00:58:28
together but also another thing is
00:58:29
sometimes on Larry David they didn't
00:58:32
weren't sure they were doing a take.
00:58:35
>> You know the cameras they got both
00:58:37
cameras on and they're kind of kidding.
00:58:39
They don't you can see they're sort of
00:58:40
breaking but is the character breaking
00:58:42
or is they breaking? So I don't you know
00:58:44
there's also it's capturing that that
00:58:47
and it's just
00:58:48
>> I also this is my first I'm like getting
00:58:50
into acting for the first time and I've
00:58:52
never
00:58:53
>> I've had like a couple things but I'm
00:58:56
going to see if I enjoy it. I think I
00:58:58
like it. Do Do you guys like acting as
00:59:00
opposed to standup?
00:59:02
>> Well, there's two kinds of acting.
00:59:03
There's acting where some [ __ ]
00:59:05
directors controlling you and you sign
00:59:07
up for a script you don't truly believe
00:59:09
in. or you're one of the executive
00:59:11
producers and your boss quote is Amy
00:59:13
Polar. He's really smart and knows. So,
00:59:16
it'll probably be a blast if everyone's
00:59:18
on the same sensibility vibe and you
00:59:20
know that you're getting what you want.
00:59:22
So,
00:59:23
>> you're already 90% there, you know, like
00:59:25
you know,
00:59:26
>> you have instincts from doing standup
00:59:28
and you know what works and what doesn't
00:59:29
and then you're on a reality show. You
00:59:31
just know things
00:59:32
>> that not everyone knows and and then
00:59:34
just figure out whatever you guys think.
00:59:36
The funny thing is you have a tiny wispy
00:59:38
joke. I remember one time in Grown-Ups.
00:59:39
Oh my god, a few people remember.
00:59:41
>> And um we were doing
00:59:44
>> I remember
00:59:45
>> iconic
00:59:46
>> and we had to do one thing where Adam
00:59:48
goes come out of the closet and the
00:59:51
closet
00:59:52
>> and he goes what would you have on you
00:59:54
or something? We're like how about some
00:59:55
arrows from Arrow Roulette, let's say,
00:59:57
with some leaves on them. And he's like,
01:00:00
"Yeah, okay. Hey, let's get some
01:00:02
arrows." And the props guy goes, "We
01:00:04
don't have them." He goes, "You don't
01:00:06
have them in the truck or whatever it
01:00:08
And he goes, "No." And he goes, "Where'd
01:00:10
we get him?" And he goes, "Well, we'd
01:00:11
have to we're in Glouster. We'd have to
01:00:12
drive to Boston. It's like an hour." He
01:00:14
goes, "Okay." And you're like, "So the
01:00:17
guy took off." And so here's going to be
01:00:18
minimum two hours. We're going to be
01:00:20
down. But blood sugar,
01:00:23
>> but jokes are so important in movies
01:00:25
that you go, if this is a wispy joke,
01:00:27
but it's even a chance. We have to take
01:00:30
it. Because when you're in a screening
01:00:31
watching it,
01:00:32
>> you are dying going, "Where's another
01:00:34
joke? Where's another joke?" They're
01:00:36
starting to get bored.
01:00:36
>> Yeah. So, so it's it's funny to see all
01:00:39
the lights and all this and you're like,
01:00:40
"Hey, what if we tried this?" They go,
01:00:42
"Oh, we'd have to reset the camera." And
01:00:44
someone like Adam goes, "Yeah, do it.
01:00:46
It's too important." If this throwaway
01:00:49
look we didn't have before, we need it.
01:00:51
And then
01:00:52
>> you don't know what that little thing
01:00:53
is. That's
01:00:54
>> right. You don't know what the funniest
01:00:55
part of that scene will be
01:00:56
>> and you go, "The cutaway was the
01:00:58
funniest part."
01:00:59
>> Or you get the arrows and everyone's
01:01:01
like, "Actually, no."
01:01:02
>> Right. I mean he would honestly
01:01:05
>> there's another store two hours away
01:01:06
that has marbles.
01:01:08
>> We did we wanted the other arrows.
01:01:11
>> Yeah. What a
01:01:14
>> water. Let me go back.
01:01:16
>> Look I never had this experience but if
01:01:18
you are in a situation where it's found
01:01:20
moments I mean like they would put the
01:01:23
camera Adam McKay and Will Ferrell. They
01:01:25
had the scene. They had the bullet
01:01:26
things they needed or any physical
01:01:27
comedy and then it's just like what your
01:01:30
husband said to you about being on
01:01:31
stage. So don't act, don't try to act.
01:01:34
Just when the camera's rolling, you get
01:01:36
to be very playful. And hopefully it'll
01:01:38
become clear like, okay, that's the one
01:01:41
because there's a magic to you in your
01:01:44
eyes doing it for the first time,
01:01:46
discovering. You do have to do pimp
01:01:48
numbers. You have to let's go over
01:01:49
there. There is dialogue you have to
01:01:50
have.
01:01:51
>> But in those moments, if you know right
01:01:53
in that moment, you're actually just
01:01:55
thinking this and then it comes out.
01:01:57
That's where the magic is.
01:01:58
>> Or you get someone with a different line
01:01:59
