00:01:50
[Music] Schultz thank you this is a huge this is
00:01:56
a huge honor guys I just want to let you know this is a huge honor I'm sure you guys get this all the time but I really appreciate it let's see when Wayne's
00:02:02
World came out you were eight or nine yeah so I get it 41 so 41 but you but you read at a 44
00:02:12
year old level I understand I'm high I'm high yeah but uh your specials are awesome um they're powerful man and uh I
00:02:21
guess it's your generation but the beginning of of the one the recent one
00:02:27
on Netflix is so cool where you come out you land two jokes like a cold opening the way it opens and your dad introduces
00:02:34
you and then it's a shop behind and it just says the name of the special gigantic I mean it's like we would crawl
00:02:41
out in the 90s just what's up it's just like it's an event the how much control
00:02:47
did you guys even have with like how specials looked when you guys were doing was it so HBO would just be like hey
00:02:53
show up do the material and then we'll handle it you know I remember backdrop
00:02:59
what do you want your back backrop I an old one called take the hit and they said you want to I want to do I want to
00:03:04
do an Arizona and they said what do you want your backdrop to be and I'm like cuses I mean it's like so [ __ ]
00:03:10
stupid it was like a desert yeah it was just like I go maybe live coyotes but
00:03:17
what happened is no one actually looked at the back and uh and and also you just wanted to be enough to not take away
00:03:25
from what you're doing or you disappear in the back what you're wearing so it's all complicated it's just is it any good
00:03:32
what was it like like uh so so back then I love gu that ask questions I really all back then I love that you're curious
00:03:40
like okay okay okay because like I I was coming up at like the downfall of The
00:03:46
Comedy Central special okay right like yeah there was a moment like when I was
00:03:52
when I was young young I remember like the Delirious's I remember watching like Mar and Chris like I remember these like
00:03:59
events I remember going to watch a Martin Lan special in a movie theater
00:04:04
yeah yeah like it was there were just these like insane spectacles right yeah and then and then like the Comedy
00:04:10
Central like half hours I think it was like you know you would try to get premium blend I remember that and then maybe you get a half hour then maybe you
00:04:16
get an hour and I remember like those like impacting people's careers less
00:04:22
when you guys were doing like your first specials was it like the next week you couldn't walk down the street were you
00:04:27
already so famous it didn't matter like could you feel people watched it
00:04:32
mine came out I'll just answer this in 96 I'd already been on SNL and uh it was an analog world so as
00:04:41
just to be py I never you know I don't know how you name your specials I just called it critic's Choice yeah I saw
00:04:47
that yeah five star so for years my sister would call me and then I was on cable TV Comedy Central playing on a
00:04:53
loop she goes you got critic's Choice again so uh but it was pretty it was a
00:05:00
much bigger impact then yeah so you felt it like you felt like people were it was appointment viewing people were watching
00:05:07
once it got off HBO and was on Comedy Central a lot you know but that oh Dana was your
00:05:13
HBO I believe it think that was the only game in town really when I got mine on
00:05:19
uh I was on maybe SNL or just shoot me and then it was it was a big deal because I
00:05:25
didn't really know it was a big deal but you got paid pretty well and I remember HBO only did a couple so yeah it was
00:05:32
very rare and uh that it did have an impact on the standup I didn't chase the standup as hard CU I was working and
00:05:39
then I got more into standup later back into it but they were your question is yes it had a little more impact and now
00:05:46
standups everywhere and it's on your phone and it's clips and it's people doing crowd work so you go is a special
00:05:53
important it's very hard to stand out still is it a game changer from this generation's point of view to whatever
00:05:59
2016 2017 and people like yourself and Nate
00:06:05
bratti um I I don't know Tom S you know name them uh they they Matt R whatever uh
00:06:13
Sebastian there's this phenomen places of gigantic and you're super Global uh
00:06:20
and you're killing in Dubai and with these inside jokes and taging them with your material which is it's a ni a nice
00:06:28
thing to listen to you don't feel like you're doing crowd work you feel like you're legitimately asking questions or
00:06:34
making statements anyway speak to this phenomenon of Andrew Schultz from
00:06:40
compared to like 2016 I mean I think I think okay I think there's like there's
00:06:45
definitely levels right like it's like I think like Nate and Sebastian and like
00:06:51
Shane like I think they're doing Aras in every city they go to and I think I'm like a regional Arena act yeah you know
00:07:00
here's some that dude Joe Koy goes different spaces it's bigger smaller
00:07:05
yeah where are you love most [ __ ] in the Middle East I was joking around with
00:07:10
Tim Dylan I was like listen if you do like a decade of women are annoying jokes like you'll sell a lot of
00:07:16
tickets are annoying over there so so uh
00:07:22
but uh but yeah so it's like I'll have my markets but it is kind of weird because usually that's usually white
00:07:28
guys aren't like that you're right like usually there's like an Asian dude will crush in like San Francisco Hawaii
00:07:35
Irvine right so I'm kind of I have I have like I'm like an Asian Arena act
00:07:40
that's kind of what I am just that's what I think like random International places like so yeah it is it is a yeah
00:07:49
it is it is cool it's [ __ ] awesome I don't know what to tell like well it's awesome well you're owning it I mean
00:07:54
you're not like nervous out there you're not I mean you have you have when I get comfortable you put the foot one foot's
00:08:00
on the Monitor and you're playing to 20,000 people and this is what you would do at a little you know hole in the
00:08:08
wall one foot's on the thing and it denotes I'm relaxed man I am in total
00:08:13
charge here so would it be easier to say request a step stool out there it wouldn't look as cool I guess I just I
00:08:18
just want I want the front of a boat I want like George the front of a boat
00:08:24
out what about I have a question about when you do these I just talked I think seura went overseas um and
00:08:32
overseas I think when they told me once you want to go overseas they go what they do is they'll put you in a couple
00:08:39
of small you know like clubs or maybe a small theater let's see how it goes see how famous see if anybody gives a [ __ ]
00:08:46
and come back and then the next time you have a gauge I'm like wait go twice so like Dubai and stuff I don't know
00:08:54
because you must have bigger themes I mean you can't mention Ralph's you can't
00:08:59
can't talk about Sova you can't and that's the hard part the bigger you get you have to go this has to work for
00:09:05
everyone and I remember Rock uh Chris Rock I used to say you're smart you go
00:09:10
politics you go relationship marriage and those will last you 40 minutes and
00:09:16
those at least everyone gets it yeah is that what you need over there listen I
00:09:22
got lucky that my sperm doesn't work and everybody wants to have a family or a lot of people like having fam so like
00:09:28
that was a kind of relatable story that I ended up telling but uh what I noticed about like Abu Dhabi specifically like
00:09:35
if is that they're they're more connected with American culture than the
00:09:40
the English because they a lot of them are all educated here and in like real America like Tennessee State not NYU or
00:09:48
UCLA like some rural American colleges so they know all the references but if when you go to
00:09:56
Amsterdam like they are those are that those are some tough shows bro I'm not I'm not going to lie those are some
00:10:02
tough shows I'm sure they can it's not even your fault it's just you pop in and you're like I think they were saying
00:10:08
some of these cities were tough and some were like full crickets and some were great and you're like I just you don't
00:10:14
even know you don't know why and probably crickets as a special [ __ ] crickets full crickets dude I had full
00:10:21
crickets the laugh Factor the other night I'm like what's going what am I getting worse at this that's got to be a
00:10:27
meme or something but what you did in Australia is you're you backed into jokes about the aboriginals there oh
00:10:35
yeah you know I like doing that like I like I like going to places and like writing some some jokes like the day of
00:10:42
and then seeing if it goes well but it I like talking to people when I'm in these places and I'm trying to get information
00:10:48
and see like what they're proud of what they're embarrassed of and like writing some stuff about them that they wouldn't
00:10:54
maybe expect me to know and yeah what I find is like if I can sometimes it goes
00:10:59
well sometimes it doesn't but if it does go well the rest of the show goes really well because I think everybody there
00:11:06
goes oh okay like he he cares about us he's not here to just like something
00:11:11
local for sure yeah they're like he he's made an effort and and he's interested in this place and uh you know so that
00:11:19
tends to yeah here's an oversized laugh I got just the other night sorry I'm
00:11:24
playing some Valley we're flying in to catch him and I said I man I some
00:11:30
valleys that's the place I'm play I mean catch him I just thought it'd be a complete [ __ ] hole so that got such a
00:11:36
big laugh because it's out of the blue in Sun B Idaho the clueless guy I just thought catch him be a [ __ ] hole man
00:11:42
it's great but the laugh is so big when it's local and I was doing that since
00:11:48
the late 70s I mean and if I always a few jokes about the place and what's the
00:11:53
shitty town that they'll laugh at yeah yeah and also like what is like weird
00:12:00
like every place has a big story you know what I mean like they're not talking about Elon over the air [ __ ] Trump or whatever the politics is like
00:12:07
whatever their local [ __ ] is is fun so yeah you know how can I pull that like
00:12:12
there were all these it was all the Israel Palestine protests when I was in Australia and there was all these Australians like give them back their
00:12:17
land or whatever so the joke I had is like there's some Aboriginal dude watching these white Australians go give
00:12:23
them back their land and just kind of stand so it's like like the joke that
00:12:29
would work in New York but in Australia crush it really it really goes so I yeah
00:12:36
I try to I try to write a joke that I would use anywhere but that is the epicenter of where it would get the best
00:12:43
reaction but you're also auditioning like I asked or I was just thinking if you were in Ireland because these guys
00:12:49
just went to Ireland I go would Conor McGregor's just running for president do you say that is that something you don't
00:12:55
even know what side they're on you you start something and they like it don't like it I mean yeah I was when I was in
00:13:01
Ireland I was they the guy who's president now is like he's almost like an Irish stereotype have you seen what
00:13:07
he looks like no he's like 411 like he looks like what you think like an Irish
00:13:16
carries like literally like he is a leprechaun whatever and uh so I was
00:13:21
having some fun with that and it's interesting because I was teasing them but you could tell they really like him
00:13:28
so they were like laughing but they were also like he's he's good careful
00:13:33
careful I have a lot of Irish relatives they're they're underdogs they're they're amazed how much we love their
00:13:39
country you know they but I I would say that when you do ad lib something that's new that day that you thought of that
00:13:46
day and you get a laugh then you're just kind of alive in the frame I mean I can tell by watching you like because then
00:13:51
you're G to go into your your tried and truths because that's how you do standup but every time you do something that's
00:13:57
fresh just like the whole show up right oh it lights yourself up too you think you're good also like like like
00:14:04
Australia was kind of almost like cheating because I got to do like four or five shows before I did that one
00:14:11
where I I put out the the Australian material like usually I just got to think of it the day of but this was I
00:14:18
got to work it out a few days and find the bits or whatever so that's always fun when you're you're away but it's
00:14:24
just rare that you can go to a place R you just go to a country and tour fight places and and I I just have to because
00:14:31
we didn't do this either but you you you're taping you have your specials and then when you travel the world you've
00:14:37
got a five camera crew or something is that and then you use it we do we have I
00:14:42
have my one guy Shifty who like edited the special and he was like instrumental like directing it and he's this kid he
00:14:48
like came started working us when he was like 18 years old he's like unbelievable and uh he he brings five cameras and
00:14:56
then he just sets them up and then just hits records so we don't have like this whole crew we just have one guy that's
00:15:02
doing it little it looks like a special I go did he have another special I wasn't aware of you know because that's
00:15:07
that's the [ __ ] we can do now it's it's it's kind of crazy right it's very very smart well it's also takes away from the
00:15:14
fear of like I just did mine it comes out soon I Bas I wanted you to have you
00:15:19
on so I could plug mine but um no I uh it comes out but it was Andrew SCH it's
00:15:26
hard to it's hard to do the two in a row show the the typical sort of cookie
00:15:32
cutter thing for comedians is get a maybe a theater two shows in one night cut them together do your best and I
00:15:40
didn't do any tricks really I sort of regret it I was just telling Dana before there was no like super tricky way to
00:15:46
get in and then you're getting algo briefings like it's got to be the funniest in the first and then all your
00:15:54
bad material at the end I'm like what bad material they're like oh you want us to tell you I'm like no no but no
00:16:01
they'll tell you you hey David open with your closer and I'm like wait what's going on so you gotta just try to get
00:16:08
him and all that stupid [ __ ] yeah I I saw Berke talking about that a little bit I think um and um
00:16:15
close yeah like I don't know I I I guess it's like I don't think any of us have
00:16:21
ever opened with something bad yeah you you're supposed to open to get him going that's that's the second hardest thing
00:16:27
there's a closer opener might be harder you got to get them going and if you don't get them going you don't you lost
00:16:33
them so I went into the interum at Netflix and they do every minute you made it to 12 minutes or 13 minutes so
00:16:40
it's like as if you're playing a theater where constantly people are leaving like
00:16:45
there just you start out whatever and they're leaving and by the end you've got like 12 so you have to do a special is if
00:16:53
every minute they want to go try and watch something else you know so but
00:16:59
what you're doing is great I think if you do a like with mine it ended up
00:17:05
being a story like I didn't want to do a oneman show I feel like yeah like I I it
00:17:12
kind of is almost like that because there's like a serious moment or whatever but I feel like sometimes when you say oneman show you're almost like
00:17:18
asking people to like reduce their comedic expectations so like to hate it yeah definitely or or immediately
00:17:24
[ __ ] hate it [ __ ] but but if but if they man show but don't call it that
00:17:30
don't call it but if if you call a woman man show and they hate it it's because they're not smart enough didn't you know
00:17:36
that no I didn't know that oh yeah I mean like right you if you must not be
00:17:41
smart enough to understand this High one man show intelligent you know yeah yeah the
00:17:48
guy who doesn't have jokes he calls it the one man I don't but yeah Jay is a purist and
00:17:55
he he understands that so so I I so so I kind of want to like almost trick people and I wanted like you know just regular
00:18:01
hard-hitting jokes and then eventually kind of like get into it and what we found I guess Netflix told us they're
00:18:06
like yeah the the retention like the watch through to the end was like insanely High you know because they're
00:18:12
invested in this story oh a story it's like a long story yeah it's like a phone
00:18:18
yeah so like how you pitch it yeah yeah I'm just gonna it's on a phone call
00:18:23
that's you ever call your mom yeah it's like that it's like that so that's the first time you really at the at the end
00:18:29
you're sentimental specifically sentimental and you're getting awz and stuff you haven't tried that before but
00:18:36
it uh it's interesting to I just I I thought my life was boring
00:18:42
my whole career I was like I thought like my opinions on [ __ ] were better than like anything going on in my life
00:18:47
so I never talked about anything personal and then like when it was hard to get my wife pregnant because my sperm
00:18:53
sucks I it was the only thing I could think about so I started like writing jokes about it and then uh
00:18:59
yeah it [ __ ] it ended up and it turned into this so cool I saw a video of your sperms at the Finish Line they're like
00:19:06
this they're not quite making it they just they're just kind of falling it's a
00:19:12
video that's going around yeah you got to see it dude people people are tagging my sperm in like pictures of the
00:19:18
governor of Texas I like that it's called life instead of like jizz Patrol or something you could have really
00:19:23
ruined it with the title they wouldn't be doing much patrolling it's just
00:19:31
just standing here checking M where's the egg we got 10 minutes
00:19:42
left but I I I agree that it it is funny it's fun to tell stories because people
00:19:48
will say you should do this joke and this is a funny joke and I do have some jokes my ACT but I do love telling
00:19:54
stories because it's the only thing that's more of a fingerprint to you because I do do stuff at the airport I
00:20:01
do it about this and common denominators but I'm trying to do my version of that and longer stories are more fun for some
00:20:07
reason just maybe because I'm older to go let me just tell you this thing and then that's more true to me than going I
00:20:14
don't think anyone else is going to tell this story like this also also like we get a sense of you like your personality
00:20:21
shines through because it's how you acted in that moment but but also I think that like if if someone walks into
00:20:29
a room and goes guys I got to tell you the story we're going to give him 10 seconds if it's boring after 10 seconds
00:20:35
we'll we'll probably go but everybody likes a story it's like our earliest form of digesting information like if
00:20:41
you just give me a bunch of facts I'm gonna kind of look the other way if you tell me some [ __ ] that happened I'm kind of locked in like I'm I'm rooting for
00:20:49
you in your story when you tell me something happens I want it to be good I hear a Tik Tok story from someone I've
00:20:54
never met and they started the story about a break up with a guy and I just sit there and stare like why am I even [ __ ] listen to this but it's like 30
00:20:59
minutes it starts and everyone starts I like it I go I've actually told young standups
00:21:06
who've asked my opinion in little teeny clubs I said pretend you just saw something on the street and you just
00:21:12
came in to talk to your friends because usually when you tell a bit the first time you're urgent about it and you're
00:21:17
very specific and then you start to lose it and Jerry Seinfeld says oh check the
00:21:23
setup check the setup check it out troubleshooting you got to check the setup cuz on the RO that is statement
00:21:32
like the first time you tell a joke you think it that you like and does well you think it leveled the room and then you
00:21:38
go look at like the video audio and you're like oh like five people left but it's just new to me one loud guy yeah
00:21:45
and then it goes away that's so true like the same joke the same words your excitement in it wains a little also
00:21:52
when you say one and you say it off top of your head and if you didn't tape it I mean I'm everyone's different but I
00:21:59
hopefully record it on my phone when I go to The Comedy Store or whatever because yeah when I audition these these
00:22:06
turds and then I smash him in between two jokes that work you know and then I do one in the middle but if it somehow
00:22:12
works I have to remember in flection when it was in the set how it work what
00:22:18
happened because sometimes I go oh I got that one next time I say it nothing and I go nothing what was the magic what
00:22:23
worked what and all that is so important yeah sometimes like sometimes
00:22:29
you you'll work on a joke and then get it really good and the joke in your set
00:22:34
that follows it can no longer follow it oh gets hurt by it wow it's like it's
00:22:41
not strong enough after how good this joke is yeah it's stand up is the best
00:22:47
sometimes you got to tell your joke I'm moving you up to closer that's a great feeling you I'm
00:22:53
going to try this it seems to work enough I'm putting it at the end and you go [ __ ] I have a new closer oh that's so
00:23:00
great because then the other one can do a little tent pull heavy lifting in the middle what's what's the deal when you
00:23:06
guys go to the store like do you have to respect the light or or are you just at a point where they it's a
00:23:12
suggestion yeah I go I go when I go how long do you do they go 15 I go great
00:23:18
they go when do you want the light I go at 30 um but there's a lot of guys that get the light I won't say names but they
00:23:24
literally get the light and they start names so what else is going on I go no no no that's not what else that's wrap
00:23:31
it up guys when the elbow is up on the mic stand they've already done 20 where
00:23:37
you guys from I'm like no we know where they're from we don't care it's over this is my favorite [ __ ] like the this
00:23:43
is the this thing that's like and this has always existed but it's really popular now like the the comics
00:23:50
pretending that they don't care so they'll have like a notepad on stage and they're like look like all right what
00:23:56
else do I got in here and then they'll look at the page and then do a joke they did in their last special it's just like
00:24:01
yo fully formed B yeah it's okay to care we care it's okay to try we all try
00:24:09
we're we want to do well you don't got to bring a prop on station fake Leaf through it by the way it does better if
00:24:16
you have a notebook because there's something about going guys what do you think of this and then you read and they're like that's pretty good and then
00:24:21
you read you reala they go well not good enough for you real act but for this little thing you just thought of it sure
00:24:27
this wispy idea yeah keep working do you guys like I mean when you do a group
00:24:32
show at the comedy store and there's like eight nine people doesn't it become like a a de facto competition like
00:24:39
people you're not even thinking about oh man you were one of the best tonight or you were this like I like group shows
00:24:46
yeah it's gr man but you all right do you do the store a lot or not when I'm out there
00:24:53
that's where I'll I'll come through oh right you don't live I don't see you there no I'm in New York man so yeah so
00:24:59
you just do that run you have way more choices you can run all over right yeah there's I I usually just do uh the
00:25:05
seller and the New York comedy club so seller has what is it one two three four
00:25:11
rooms rooms yeah yeah so it's like it's literally like I got a kid now so I can
00:25:16
go there for an hour and a half and do four shows or I can bounce around the whole city for four hours yeah and now
00:25:23
I'm like okay let's let's get the work in I didn't realize that that's Fant fastic you go to one place basically and
00:25:30
have four audiences boom boom boom and then get out yeah you can I mean it's kind of like store has what three rooms
00:25:37
so you guys bounce around oh yeah you're right go upstairs do the belly room I
00:25:42
don't I don't practice much but anyway I'm down to the Nubs I mean I'm like the
00:25:47
only thing worse than having hits is not having hits so dude you know what I've
00:25:53
seen interesting what I've seen now is that like you know how like everything in comedy just goes through these like
00:25:58
and like people new to Comedy don't get it they haven't experienced like the last cycle like impressions are really
00:26:05
popular now have you noticed that um well for me it's I just that's
00:26:10
all I do Impressions and characters now I'm not trying to tell anything but just nail no no what I'm saying is like we've
00:26:16
known that we've known that about you for for decades and then like things go up and down in popularity and I think
00:26:22
like with Trump and probably Shane's like does this amazing version he does a great version of and I think with the
00:26:29
popularity of that I've seen a lot of other people working in Impressions and there was times like when I was coming
00:26:34
up where like people weren't doing impressions yeah like crowd work is really popular there's time now everybody's like annoyed with crowd work
00:26:41
and like all these things it just it's just so funny like all these things go up and down because I remember early on
00:26:48
Impressions like when I was coming up like seeing like Eddie your best friend Eddie go like crazy we are best friend
00:26:55
crazy just I mean it was it was amazing with the Impressions you know amazing
00:27:01
that he didn't lean on him but he was darl Hammond called him our best impressionist but he was only he was
00:27:06
doing prior if you weave them into something too it it doesn't look like a big setup you know you're just like
00:27:12
they're like oh [ __ ] that sounds like that superow yeah like it's amazing it's
00:27:18
we all love it like there's nobody it's so funny even watching comedians like comedians we can be like annoying with
00:27:25
with each other when like somebody's trying to be funny or like sne bit but when somebody do an impression that's
00:27:31
spot on everybody shuts up listens and enjoys like especially if you can do
00:27:37
another comedian that we're friends
00:27:43
with do you have any do you have anybody that we know someone's gonna do Shane
00:27:49
because he grabs the mic funny and you know yeah he's got he's Shane has a
00:27:55
great uh laugh like I I I told son that everyone has like a a little bit of a
00:28:00
laugh with Richard prior it was kind of a constant under and Shane has a really good little giggle he does uh after
00:28:08
every bit and he holds the holds it very much high like this he's a big guy but I did I didn't really realize that so I'm
00:28:14
feeling better about myself right now but do you have an impression you do or would like to do because maybe we can
00:28:21
help you out with it now God we can really try to think I'm bad too if I
00:28:27
can't do someone I'm terrible it's a very painful thing to try to learn it's selective like you can't just mimic
00:28:33
everything yeah at times I it takes me a long time it took me a long time to get Biden I would say like a year and a half
00:28:41
you know some and then some are easy I don't really have any methodology other than exposure I have to hear something a
00:28:47
lot or hang out with someone a lot I'll do friends and stuff but that's all I don't
00:28:53
have um I just start talking out loud to myself and it's terrible you know and
00:28:58
then finally off if it comes to me it comes to me but I don't have any I I see an impression I can't do and I'm I'm
00:29:05
incredibly entertained you know what I've noticed is like uh sometimes I see people doing an
00:29:12
impression of someone's impression yeah for sure yes that's the best way yeah
00:29:18
yes because like you've distilled the four things about the person that like he physically does those hooks exactly
00:29:26
and then so you did the work and then I see people doing oh that's just a version of Dana's right they cracked the
00:29:33
code Dana cracked the code and now he just you don't get any credit for it you don't get any credit for it which is
00:29:39
kind of [ __ ] up the latest one I am doing because it's kind of fun is I've just extrapolated Jimmy Fallon into a
00:29:45
thing that I like to because I was hanging out with him at adh1 in New York let me see Jim and I did Johnny Carson
00:29:52
getting pulled for drunk driving I've said this a lot but uh in 1972 and it's where where he uh what had to drink and
00:29:58
where he where he was drinking at well sorry officer I didn't know I was swerving I had two slippery monkeys at
00:30:04
the hook and crook okay so that's the setup and then Jimmy Fallon is like oh my God oh my God sorry officer it's
00:30:12
insane it's insane I can't believe sorry was it was so it just this sound clage
00:30:17
coming at me that was just pure distill Jimmy Fallon crazy it was yeah he doesn't have
00:30:23
to say much yeah sometimes it's just a sound like um you could you could do this one Christopher Watkins sees an
00:30:29
amazing magic trick just quick wow wow
00:30:34
wow wow wow wow what was that yeah
00:30:39
didn't know where the rabbit went it's like a language you know I mean Kevin
00:30:45
Pock and others wound down classic where when someone cracked walking it was like
00:30:50
[ __ ] yeah now it's onbody go to this next Lev has walking now and it's so fun
00:30:56
and he's so what about gold bloom I feel like he talks in a unique way does anybody God yes El I think
00:31:03
do version of him yeah I don't oh Elon Kyle dunan yeah who's doing Elon Musk
00:31:10
has anybody done Elon good because he kind of It's Tricky it's it um we're going to Ms
00:31:18
Ms you know I mean Kyle D you have to have a little stutter go balls um I did
00:31:25
it for 18 seconds on SNL I just did him at a rally do Mega you know that kind of
00:31:31
guy jumping around but I'm still trying to learn it exactly because he is kind
00:31:36
of softspoken mostly on podcast so thinks a lot um we we we've got to go
00:31:43
Moss we don't we simply have to tell for M and he's thinking and and the way he looks around but I'm still coming on to
00:31:49
that because I there's two things I mean one is you could do a perfect Biden the first month of his administration but
00:31:55
people wouldn't be assimilated it they need to kind of you know so we saw a lot of people saw Elon at the rallies first
00:32:03
I've seen him on a lot of podcasts so it's a work in progress Andrew I will get back to
00:32:08
you yeah they're tough to crack some of that [ __ ] because there's not like a
00:32:14
something to bite into you know my end was I used him as a setup for Trump to get a laugh you know I did it on Bill
00:32:20
Mah just you know he's like elon's there and Trump's there with the red tie like we're going to go to mall we sending too
00:32:27
much money we we kind of sustain it all that and then they say Mr Trump and Trump says what he said what he said
00:32:33
he's a smart cookie he's a tough cookie he's a cookie crumble so I just use him to set up
00:32:40
Trump that's it that's it it's it's word association with Trump it's like every
00:32:46
word's got to take you a little bit further away than the point that he's trying to make even he just thinks of it
00:32:52
as he goes on word association
00:32:58
monster he's a lad dun you remember the lad Dunes everybody loves the lad
00:33:04
Dunes everybody loves them everybody loves them and they but yeah that's one way to use it as a as someone who does
00:33:12
Impressions that is so funny that is how he talks really it's like every word
00:33:17
reminds him everybody loves him love him gays he throws in G Trump will never say
00:33:27
so I uh so you know like anyone might run out a stream of thought he never
00:33:34
does we're going to go with L it's like weak to him if you stop a thought so he
00:33:39
just keeps thinking is weak yeah and repeating phras five to 10 or 15 times
00:33:46
ladun ladun everyone loves ladun you see the lad Dunes you look at them and you
00:33:52
got them and they like them people like the L and it works for him it is I want to ask you cuz interviewed him because
00:33:59
his dialect is so infectious it's so infectious sing and he knows how to use
00:34:05
it like like for example when he does that little like rev up sound like we're gonna do it like like he's like
00:34:14
injecting energy maybe he's slowing down and he feels himself he's got to he's like I'm
00:34:21
getting tired got to come back up yeah yeah yeah yeah but like the fries are wearing off he called it the weed on the
00:34:28
show like what you guys are describing and he was like he's like
00:34:34
he's like he's yeah call it the weave it's like I'm in here I go out there I come back here and then I come all the
00:34:39
way back around to the point that I was trying to make and uh he people think that I'm stupid that I do that you
00:34:44
actually got to be really smart to go all the way back out here and then come why say
00:34:50
not so fun surprisingly it's a very smart maneuver yeah I know he is
00:34:56
absolutely hilarious cuz you're just waiting for okay what is the point here where where are we now like he he like
00:35:04
he's like keying into like thing like he said something without trying to be funny that I laughed at like he goes um
00:35:11
he goes he goes after he got shot he goes he go yeah it fixs me up he goes these country doctors I'll tell you you
00:35:17
know and I laughed because like it's funny he thinks that there's regular doctors and Country doctors like that
00:35:23
the doctors in the country are like like overall Little House in the prairie yeah
00:35:30
so I laughed at it and he clocks me laughing and I swear to God he hits it in the next three sentences he's like
00:35:37
yeah he's country doctors Yeah Yeah country doctors seeb work shopping yeah
00:35:43
he's like he doesn't know what the funny part is he goes I went to the General Store
00:35:49
also yeah yeah so oh cuz he Gotta Laugh he was kind of like wanting to understand what did I do right okay I
00:35:55
like when he goes someone ask him a question he goes another dumb question from an idiot over here and it's just
00:36:02
like who says that it's always that's why comedians love it's just so funny you go who would ever say you almost
00:36:08
wish you almost wish that he was just like um just make him like a royal figure so he doesn't have to be
00:36:15
politicized so that we can just laugh without there any being any scrutiny because it's undeniably funny like it's
00:36:22
just funny another dumb question from an idiot question
00:36:28
this woman is a ter ter not Pol at all you're not a smart cookie you're not a
00:36:33
smart cookie I'll tell you that much you know you're not you're not a smart cookie I can tell you look at this I
00:36:40
know the guttural one is such a funny movie that I think is kind of new but uh cookie cookie that's Magic Johnson's
00:36:47
wife how'd she not get it cookie just like it's just what he's do like should
00:36:53
we all just talk like that all day he casually was in Magic having trouble with blood work but uh wife's cooking
00:37:00
they like what was that middle part they got to take a lot of tests they take them all the time and cookie
00:37:06
comes out Tak a lot of vitamins he's back on his feet they're working there's a lot of that breathing thing too but
00:37:13
yeah there's so many Hooks and so many things to do with that guy it's extraordinary um oh I have a special
00:37:20
question too oh yeah ask more he's back on his feet back on his feet yeah like
00:37:26
why was he Ling no he's he's back magic is fully back now like he's back now he is from 35
00:37:34
years ago yeah I know they worked out they very strong they had to do a ctail
00:37:42
they call it a ctail appe pills it's a cocktail excuse me they had to get the right cocktail and they got the right
00:37:48
cocktail of pills and that seems okay now but anyway um you got a question d
00:37:57
[Music] Oh I thought I was just back going back to his special where you had it and then
00:38:04
you bought it back and I think that oh yeah that situation turned out to be I heard different rumors but highly
00:38:11
successful oh yeah it was it ended up being the best it ended up being the best thing for me situation I don't have
00:38:19
any animosity by the way for Amazon like I get what they had to do like you know they they made a business decision and
00:38:25
they're like we don't want these jokes tarnishing the brand and I get it that's fine I bet you would be different now
00:38:31
like I bet just culture has kind of changed a bit but um but uh but yeah I was able to put out and the people were
00:38:37
like so supportive and it was it was incredible and then people made a bunch of Lies online about how I I I told them
00:38:45
to I told them that that it would never be available anywhere else and even though I told everybody if you can't
00:38:51
afford it just steal it on the internet and then eventually would be on YouTube but it is what it is you you know you
00:38:58
have some you do something good and it's successful and people are gonna find a way to be upset about people it it was
00:39:04
great was it basically off your website it's just a click and this is and you pay it was like there's this company
00:39:10
called moment house that was bought by patreon so essentially it's like it looks like it's on my website
00:39:17
but they basically put their mask on my website so you go to my website and it
00:39:22
just kind of like almost forwards it to theirs and then it almost just looks like
00:39:28
um it looks like Netflix or something like that or any other place and you just watch it right because Theo and I
00:39:34
were talking about this for this uh this uh Indie we just did and this is one of
00:39:39
the things I brought up I brought up your situation I said I mean you guys could I think you'd kill it with that
00:39:44
but I also think that there's an appetite I think there's an appetite for you guys now I think that like I think
00:39:51
that there's going to be a lot of excitement about that I think people would pay for it 100% but I think streaming is the way to go I don't think
00:39:57
movie theater is the way to go just yet it's a tough decision because I've done
00:40:03
movies in movie heydays when it was like big weekends you're up against this movie you're up against this yeah uh and
00:40:09
now it's tougher and I was when we're going over all the processes of what
00:40:15
could be because you know we sort of did it well we did do it without we just paid for it and said absolutely no plan
00:40:22
and it's kind of fun and people think that's intriguing just because it's awesome someone's got to do it it's like
00:40:27
okay now what and then just figure out what surfacing is the best situation but you know when you say uh theaters I
00:40:35
don't want any stink if something doesn't go perfectly right away because people back off and I go guys I've been
00:40:41
in movies that don't do well it's [ __ ] a dagger and and nowadays when
00:40:47
it's all these superhero movies and you know even if Snow White doesn't make a hundred million the first weekend
00:40:53
they're pouncing on it obviously it's a budgetary discrepancy with ours but it's just it's just Optics do you want to
00:40:59
look like it's a hit it's very hard to figure out all that stuff you're 100% right because you see like the theater
00:41:04
empty and people take pictures and it's very easy for them to like Pan the film based on that but dude getting people to
00:41:11
leave their house is almost impossible now like that's the big trick it's so easy not to leave your house you don't
00:41:17
have to leave your house and also they don't even know if the movie is going to be good or not like at least with at
00:41:23
least with like a franchise like Batman you're like all right I've seen a bunch of these movies I'll get the babysitter
00:41:28
I'll take the risk I'll go but here's this movie where it's like all right well I love all the people involved in
00:41:35
it but have I seen a movie where they're all in it together I don't know I but if
00:41:41
you put that on streaming like for me if that movie's on Netflix there's no brainer the first week you're top 10
00:41:48
yeah no brainer because it's it's like the investment is so minimal it's like if I'm a spade fan I'm watching if I'm a
00:41:54
Theo fan I'm watching I'm sure you guys have a bunch of other like cameos from people like it's it's and then if it is
00:42:01
good the word will spread and you'll stay in the top 10 forever but extrem extreme extreme but what do you what do
00:42:08
you recommend that they do do you actually audition it for all the streamers so Netflix and Amazon Hulu
00:42:15
they're they're all they're all two offers offers you don't have one offer unless you have like even with my like
00:42:21
even with my Netflix deal I had one offer and then that offer changed significantly when we got another offer
00:42:28
sure and I don't begrudge them for it but like they're not in the business of paying you what you're worth yeah paying the minimum they can
00:42:36
there's nothing like another Suitor it's the same thing with single people or
00:42:42
something they want me too if I'm uh if I'm if I'm Amazon right now like I'm if
00:42:50
I'm Amazon right now and I know that like Netflix I mean Theo did his last
00:42:55
one on Netflix right so Netflix like invested in building that guy up sure
00:43:00
I'm I'm buying the movie just off the strength of taking yeah yeah like I mean
00:43:07
brand War right there so to me that's just like a no-brain or so I would I'd talk to them i' talked to Hulu I talked
00:43:14
to Paramount everybody we've been asked about it from we could hire you to be
00:43:19
our manager is that is that totally outside it's fun to think about it out
00:43:25
loud because we haven't seen it we're going to see it this weekend this is the oh wow first time it's been rough
00:43:32
together so we liked and we shot it we lik the scenes and I said I've done a lot of these I think it's got a chance
00:43:37
so let's see it all in a row if it's how I picture it we're we're in good shape so but you know directors got it you
00:43:45
know how it works and they get eight weeks so then we'll go in there and start fiddling with it but I was like I
00:43:51
have a good feeling and I've been asked about it from some streamers like can we look at it yet and I'm like we're not we
00:43:57
don't even know we're we're not there yet yeah yeah we're not L there is
00:44:03
interest just because it's oh a weirdo move but if a Comedy Works it's huge how
00:44:08
many fun movies are made every year I don't know I mean I kind of know why they don't
00:44:14
but I think they've slowed down I mean Sandler is responsible for most comedies out there like he has a deal so he
00:44:21
either produces them or he's in them and that's a big chunk out there yeah and
00:44:26
that's on so I think I think we're like we're basically one successful R-rated
00:44:31
comedy away from having like another decade of really funny R-rated comedies
00:44:39
yeah so whether it's you somebody else it's going to take one I feel like culture is at the point now where we can
00:44:44
be naughty again yeah just give and if one goes yeah we're gonna have some
00:44:51
funing they have some edgy jokes in there Spade has told me I mean funny but but definitely different than you know
00:44:58
you guys you guys have been entertainment for especially Hollywood for long enough like you everybody what
00:45:04
is it they say it's a race to be second or something like nobody nobody wants to put their balls on the line to do we
00:45:12
make one thing happen then follow then you go okay that works I was just going to ask the question or the observation
00:45:17
that like looking at yourself you uh coming up at this time it's like you're
00:45:23
the CEO of your career you can either self-produce or not or the um you're not
00:45:30
asking for permission you're not auditioning much you're not trying to meet corporate entities to help you
00:45:37
you're the CEO of Andrew Schulz and so that the freedom that people have with
00:45:42
social media that pumped up everything YouTube is extraordinary and Van and I think it's great it's a different world
00:45:50
than what we came up in yeah there's there's a lot lot more freedom that's for sure and like if now is the time if
00:45:57
you just want to create [ __ ] to do it you know obviously like making films and
00:46:02
TV shows is so expensive that you know you gotta find a way to raise some money
00:46:08
you guys are able to do it but you guys are all rich successful dudes you know um we put most of it ourselves so and
00:46:14
that's a good way if you can to just say you want to just green like this right now and go and I think fortune favors
00:46:21
the brave whatever that cliche is I think it's true and I think that basically everybody is afraid to do cool
00:46:28
[ __ ] but once it's there everybody wants to buy it so I don't know what you guys spent on it but you guys decide the
00:46:34
price like right you know you could why is it not a $100 million movie who [ __ ] knows right if it's gonna do I
00:46:41
remember when they were paying a lot for uh comedy specials out of the blue remember I think the the top was Da got
00:46:48
like 20 million or something like that 30 million of clip like it was it used to be like two three million whatever
00:46:54
was the biggest and then suddenly it jumped huge and I asked someone at one of those streamers and they said because
00:47:00
if we do a movie with that person it will cost us 20 to 30 million so we're
00:47:07
paying 20 and and we're going to do four times the views on a special than a movie so it's really saving us money in
00:47:14
a weird way and I was like I didn't look at it that way but they could have gotten them everybody for cheaper and I
00:47:20
think they got back down to earth after a couple those real quick it I think I think it shifted big yeah I remember
00:47:27
when Amy got 11 and said it was not enough she said why aren't I getting 20
00:47:33
and I'm like wow and she got I think they kicked her some more I was like
00:47:39
[ __ ] yeah well because it was going out there saying that look bad yeah yeah
00:47:45
yeah that's when you could kind of use the uh yeah you use like sexism or
00:47:51
racism for a little little Ian it's hard to say with its Rock and Chappelle I mean it's it's ballsy to step forward
00:47:57
and say give me that we're the same I mean I wouldn't I'm not there it lets
00:48:03
you know where you are in the ecosystem is show business when you know people are getting 20 or 30 and then you get
00:48:09
supply and demand if if you're worth it they're going to give it to you they know what they're doing I understand you
00:48:14
know somebody else is gonna offer it to you that's the thing if somebody else is gonna offer it to you do you know where
00:48:19
you're going with this one that you just filmed yeah or can you mention or I
00:48:25
don't think I can because we have a press release coming out this week ah got is it a done deal or is it just a possibility I shot it already yeah I
00:48:31
shot it comes out in May so uh but I'll tell you after you're special yeah yeah but uh I will tell you that when I did
00:48:38
the HBO when you were talking about earlier uh to take the hit one and there was notice it was noticeable for me and
00:48:46
then it took me all this time and I did a Comedy Central one and it was like it didn't happen
00:48:53
actually I used Dana as an example because Dana was like I keep trying to watch it but I have to get on an app and
00:48:59
then I have to sign up and I have to go here and I'm like I can't even find it and I'm like it's not easy like they air
00:49:05
it once at midnight or something and then they air it a month later and it's not like you can just get it like on a
00:49:11
stream so it was got caught up it burned my material because I'm like can I just
00:49:16
do this again because dude if I were you I would I would unless it exists on
00:49:23
YouTube or something like that I would just use some of the stuff that you really I wasn't even doing Clips it was right before Clips so Clips would have
00:49:30
helped it like hey here's at least I could clip it out and say come to my next show but I'm like I didn't I would
00:49:35
I would use some of that if you're not I mean there's like I think I'm pretty sure like Chappelle used a joke he did
00:49:43
in an earlier thing in a later thing I mean it's like an amazing it's one of my favorite jokes that he's ever written
00:49:48
but it's the uh and I think he even made it like better but it's the joke about uh you know it's like hard being
00:49:55
successful in Black like uh I remember my house got broken into like these people came in robed my whole house
00:50:00
called the police they showed up and they're like he's still
00:50:09
here yeah just [ __ ] genus by the way
00:50:14
how how about you do a joke that's little undercooked in a special and then you still do it for a while on the road
00:50:21
before it comes out and I'm like sometimes I still do them because I go this thing is six minutes long now it's
00:50:26
so I agree and people go oh I think you did that I go I actually didn't I did 30
00:50:33
seconds of preview yeah you got very early version you got a three-month-old
00:50:38
versus a full adult yeah and I go plus who care that's the thing is like is everyone really going thank God I got
00:50:44
this allnew mediocre material thank
00:50:50
you that's what you got to tell the audience when they complain you think this is bad let me do whole hour of new yeah
00:50:58
[ __ ] yeah I here's some new [ __ ] for you but it's hard to they're like just throw together another hour I go relax with
00:51:05
that casual throw together an hour you're good I go [ __ ] I you got to get
00:51:10
out there and grind it out and practice it's hard yeah it takes time man you also gota have some [ __ ] you want to
00:51:15
talk about like yeah I I take time off like after I fil like I haven't gone on stage since I recorded I went one time
00:51:23
or something like that and that that's been months I probably won't go on for a little bit I like live a little
00:51:29
experience [ __ ] see what I want to talk about people yell out stuff to you in
00:51:34
your act like if they go Diddy what do you think of Diddy and you have to go you have to have something I'm not there
00:51:40
yet oh wait a minute actually that's they will do a topical thing yeah
00:51:45
but that's also like it that would only happen if I'm like just kind of Meandering or not like if I'm doing well
00:51:53
usually there's not suggestions if you're but if you're talking the audience and do they feel
00:51:58
like it's open season to talk from back here when you're talking to this person up here does that get hard to do the
00:52:04
last special I did a like the last one before this I did a lot more like crowd work and stuff like that and then people
00:52:10
and I was putting out these like uh clips that were crowdwork and it was just like it was
00:52:16
the only thing that I could generate weekly like for me write it when I write a bit it takes like a while to make it a
00:52:23
good joke and add tags and all these other things I give it away but they just you know they just would go viral
00:52:30
and whatever so people were coming out and kind of expecting that so at this special I I purposely barely do that at
00:52:40
all as like a way to just go hey I don't I I get why you thought there would be a
00:52:46
lot of crow because I put out all these Crow work clips now you see this whole hour now I want you to potentially
00:52:51
expect this with maybe some interactions but it's not going to be just interactions the whole time CU it's is
00:52:56
very easy where like and I've seen this happen like the algorithm can make you
00:53:02
decide what kind of Comedy you want to do instead of you deciding I think
00:53:07
sometimes people fall victim to that like something does really well so they go well I guess this is what I do now
00:53:13
and it's like no sure that's good of you to switch it up because you it's it's hard to go in there and write a whole
00:53:20
hour and not have any crutches cuz sometimes you know you could go in and
00:53:25
and just with a few things get things right back or but it's hard to go out there and practice long sets of nothing
00:53:31
it's just oh and it's you're bombing and it's brutal and if you're at the store here or even when you're at the seller
00:53:38
like when I went on last time it was Nate was there and uh Chris Rock and you just go I'm not going to try new [ __ ]
00:53:45
because there's always someone there watching and you go do I want them to go yes and I go it's a little undercooked
00:53:53
but well there's something there but they just go go yeah I just remember you bombed I I think a lot of people liked
00:53:59
it man I think a lot of people were liking what you're were doing out there oh when I did that night it was fun but
00:54:06
when I that was me doing someone talking to you after show oh yeah yeah I thought it was Gretta great they switch it to
00:54:13
good right at in the middle good
00:54:19
[Music] good when I followed Dana and I just did a gig together and when he come out come
00:54:26
off after annihilating I have to follow this [ __ ] [ __ ] and they're like killing and then I get he comes off all
00:54:32
excited and I go hey [ __ ] that crowd and he goes huh I go look it it's not your
00:54:38
crowd those jokes are funny man don't don't second guess yourself why are they [ __ ] standing circles in the green
00:54:45
room I'm trying to [ __ ] with his head right before I get out there not all crowds are going to be smart you know
00:54:52
they don't get you h great when when did you uh have
00:54:58
that turn where you're like God damn I'm I'm getting really really good at standup I don't I think it's like was it
00:55:05
gradual or was it I think I think you feel good and then you go up after Greer Barnes and you're like am I good you
00:55:12
know like there just you see people do it that are just incredible you're like am I or like even when I was editing the
00:55:18
special like watching your own comedy a thousand times sickening you're
00:55:23
like yeah you're like what is any of this funny like like it's actually kind of nice cuz then when it comes out and
00:55:29
people go wow this was so funny you're like oh really like editing is horrible editing
00:55:35
watching yourself to stand up the worst thing in the world push in I go push out
00:55:41
the door and burn this [ __ ] thing push closer godamn
00:55:49
what that's for a horror movie that's not comedy that's for [ __ ] saw three
00:55:55
it's the Cowboy shot you know keep it Loosey [ __ ] that's how I edit uh that's
00:56:01
how I edit comedy though by the way like a horror movie what you do go push it for drama and stuff it's it's like yeah
00:56:09
tension release not as exaggerated but like the same idea of like I don't like
00:56:15
for example like some people the director on mine like for the first day he was doing like a line cut I think
00:56:20
it's called like where they cut it yeah kind of live yeah like buddy there's no
00:56:26
you don't have my set memorized there's no way you could guess the right angle to go to you don't know which way my
00:56:32
turn like why are you wasting your time with this like it makes no sense what
00:56:38
was the we said it's like catching a fart with chopsticks like comedy I don't know where my head's gonna go so it's
00:56:44
like we what we do is make sure all the cameras are filming it and then we get in the edit and then we make sure that
00:56:52
I'm not jumping out in the middle of a setup setup yeah right they can kill
00:56:57
jokes go on your back all of a sudden you're like whoa whoa whoa what are we doing have you seen that you're watching somebody special and it's like in the
00:57:04
middle of a punchline they cut to the back of their head yeah like the start of the setup is on their back and you're
00:57:11
like why would I has anybody ever told you a story and turned around first and you pay more attention you know what it
00:57:18
is for me to me is sometimes you're watching it like someone is watching it on a sitting in a Magic Chair and
00:57:25
they're watching the special and all of a sudden they're flying way back up in the auditorium and then R close and then
00:57:32
in the back of the head and like they get tired of just watching the standup and so the amount of cuts you're like
00:57:38
[ __ ] I'm exhausted so yeah yeah it's like build things also like I don't ever do a crane like nothing has ever been
00:57:45
funnier because the shot went like that yeah by your joke drive by joke they're
00:57:52
telling like the crane is $25,000 I'm like what like for what just to to show
00:57:59
did a big production yeah yeah they like to show it's a big house because I said in mine could I do a smaller place
00:58:06
they're like they like to show that they paid for you and it's a big theater and I'm like I think people would believe
00:58:11
that I also do theaters but it's fun to get into a smaller room so I think down the line I will switch it up how big was
00:58:19
the room for life you know we did we did 3,000 but that was bigger than I would
00:58:25
want to do we were going to do this other venue and then they canell my tapings after Trump was on the pod which
00:58:32
they say is unrelated and I believe them 100% but we we uh but so so we we move
00:58:40
from that venue to the beacon and um and I would I would usually i' like the
00:58:47
venue to be under 2,000 seats for a for a taping sure I think between a thousand
00:58:53
and 2,000 is the money spot because you can like you're you can see every person in the room you you're with them I don't
00:59:00
think an arena is right for it I think it's a flex but I don't think it like represents I don't think it's a good
00:59:06
representation of like how connected you are also like the amount of time you have to wait in between laughs in an
00:59:11
arena is a lot different than the person at home laughing so now at home they're
00:59:17
going hahaa but on stage you're still waiting for the arena so now they're
00:59:22
discon on I'm like how do you it's so different to go out when it's all the
00:59:28
lights for the tunnels are out there for like at the basketball game and yeah there's so many things going on by the
00:59:34
way if I if they want me to do an arena I will do it and I'll film something there as a flex even if I bomb or just
00:59:41
do 10 minutes but uh I I think mine is about 1,700 it was about that pocket of
00:59:47
a place I played I liked in where it was in Denver and uh which one and Denver's
00:59:54
what's it called Heather Paramount so great great Theater Great audience
01:00:00
always when I played Comedy Works and stuff it was always great audiences there so yeah they have good vibes out
01:00:07
there town they like it and I like 50 to 70 if I for myself because I'm doing
01:00:15
little sketches doing little people talking to each other and stuff his hand magic and uh you know the last special I
01:00:24
worked it out in 50c and then I puted it in the
01:00:30
1900 I just love the
01:00:37
idea anyone use Dental claws but I like the smaller that's all
01:00:43
I'm saying but U I think I think it's better for the audience I think the people watching at home enjoy it more
01:00:49
personally the the 10 centers like the big room you know to show people look
01:00:54
what look what you can draw and I get that but creatively you know I think a tight it's better for comedy in a small
01:01:01
room 100% it's better for our bank accounts in a big room and often times we will let our bank accounts win that
01:01:08
war dict that's a question I had for you is there would you do any commercial
01:01:14
that they offered you if the money was good enough or discern Discerning have you been offered
01:01:20
commercials no I mean no I don't get offered really commercials but like there's like certain things I just I
01:01:25
don't know if I could I don't know if I want to do it I don't have like a moral objection like I got gambling advertising on the Pod you know I got a
01:01:31
boner pill I'll do all that kind of [ __ ] yeah boners don't got a style you're fine there yeah but like I'm trying to
01:01:40
think I don't think I could do like a herpes medication commercial you know
01:01:45
maybe American Express commercial but yeah not bio we going to do a collab
01:01:51
with you on that but it's okay for that' be great imagine all right anything else for this young man Dan just live on
