00:03:10
the system a little bit there because
00:03:12

00:03:15
there's a lot of giving
00:03:18
upot well let's put it this way though
00:03:21
started yeah my my relatives they're not
00:03:25
photographed they don't want pictures
00:03:26
and they don't they're not on zooms they
00:03:29
don't see them so they get in the mirror
00:03:31
they put the chin up they have good
00:03:32
lighting and then they wonder what the
00:03:35
[ __ ] happened to me you know like if I
00:03:39
put them on you let me get a little
00:03:41
iPhone around you let me get a side
00:03:42
angle but you can really think you look
00:03:45
a lot younger why do everybody look so
00:03:47
old but I represent a little further up
00:03:49
the ladder than you two so yeah let's
00:03:53
see you yeah you can Wikipedia well
00:03:55
Jim's younger than me so you're the
00:03:57
you're the kid here Jim is still still
00:04:00
on fire that's one thing I wanted to
00:04:01
mention Jim the physicality and the
00:04:04
energy cuz I saw I saw some of your
00:04:06
special from last year at the comedy
00:04:08
store in La Hoya yeah and I was
00:04:10
impressed because a lot of times I'll
00:04:13
jump around out there I've seen other
00:04:14
comedians do a physical move and then
00:04:16
they're they're doing kind of this but
00:04:19
you went
00:04:21
ballistic at the beginning of that
00:04:23
special you came out super mellow put
00:04:25
like your phone down and then you did
00:04:27
like five minutes of [ __ ] Jim Carrey
00:04:31
10x energy and falls out funny and then
00:04:35
I'm waiting for I'm going this guy's
00:04:36
gonna have to take a seat like
00:04:39
Frasier but so do you work out is that
00:04:41
just because you do it a lot because you
00:04:43
didn't you sustained it and you didn't
00:04:45
get you didn't get out of breath so how
00:04:47
do you do you have you're like M or I
00:04:49
listen so I think it
00:04:52
was maybe two years ago before I did
00:04:56
that where I was on stage
00:05:00
and I I thought someone got up from the
00:05:04
I thought someone was aggravated by
00:05:06
something I was saying and they took a
00:05:07
baseball and they threw it at me because
00:05:10
I was hopping around and I felt my calf
00:05:15
hop and no so I literally turned and I
00:05:21
went okay who who did that and they're
00:05:24
all looking at me like I'm crazy and
00:05:26
then I went oh no no no you're not
00:05:28
getting away with that you don't throw
00:05:30
things and they're looking at me like
00:05:31
I'm crazy and then I went to walk and I
00:05:35
was oh God and long story short I just I
00:05:39
didn't know you could blow a calf muscle
00:05:41
my calf muscle or wow how high up was it
00:05:46
was it where that meets the Achilles
00:05:48
Like twoth thirds down or was it up
00:05:50
toward your knee no it was it was
00:05:52
literally the
00:05:55
Fator cap yeah yeah they were like if it
00:05:58
was just a little bit here we would have
00:06:00
talking about the ailles heel and a
00:06:02
whole different okay yeah so I didn't
00:06:05
hit that so because of
00:06:08
that I even now I stretch and I I do a
00:06:12
lot of stretching before I get out there
00:06:15
I do a lot of I do cardio but I do a lot
00:06:18
of stretching before I go out there a
00:06:20
lot of stretching yeah because you
00:06:22
didn't before right no what what
00:06:25
comedian goes out there like they're
00:06:27
going to the NBA finals I know I don't
00:06:29
do it and then now and then I go but I
00:06:31
don't move around that much you don't
00:06:33
move around and I don't do jokes and I
00:06:35
just lay down yeah and and you and you
00:06:38
sell out it's called sleepy time with
00:06:40
Spade I don't know how you sell the
00:06:42
tickets love it they love it lines
00:06:44
around the block you get but you're
00:06:46
doing a rooster thing your hands are out
00:06:49
I mean it's incredibly physical so
00:06:52
anyway I I I Lov I grew up with that
00:06:55
like I loved Lauren Hardy I love and
00:06:59
comedians once prior came out it Richard
00:07:03
prior's I'm the same thing I'm just a
00:07:05
street entertainer I I whatever what I
00:07:09
grow up on the street I just see the
00:07:11
story and then I elaborate the story and
00:07:13
then he he acts everything out like hey
00:07:15
this is what happened now I'm gonna act
00:07:17
it out but yeah I got that that San
00:07:20
Diego one I went I went extremely nuts
00:07:23
on that one well plus you're taping well
00:07:25
reminded me cuz you can fall asleep
00:07:28
about standup mental and when I saw that
00:07:31
I went damn you know commitment should
00:07:34
never be underrated and to your point
00:07:36
like prior with the gangsters the one in
00:07:39
Long Beach his special you real
00:07:41
commitment to the voice and to the
00:07:43
character yeah is extremely entertaining
00:07:46
whenever I see anybody throw their voice
00:07:48
anywhere I go do I do that I better do
00:07:51
that but when you see it you go that's
00:07:52
really entertaining so thank you thank
00:07:56
you you know what you're doing up there
00:07:58
Mr Brewer
00:08:00
well well he's not walking through it
00:08:01
which is nice like you're saying he's
00:08:03
not just going here's my when I grew up
00:08:05
and I was doing standup Dana but before
00:08:07
SNL Brewer probably same thing like when
00:08:10
you go on the road and you work with a
00:08:11
headliner they could do the same 45
00:08:13
every time you see them for 10 years and
00:08:16
then you go and they're just beginning
00:08:17
middle end you know it back and forth
00:08:19
they walk back and then they get a drink
00:08:21
and you go [ __ ] but for someone actually
00:08:23
think sometimes you even catch yourself
00:08:24
in your own joke and it gets better
00:08:26
because you put a new spin on it cuz
00:08:28
you're saying it you go what am I really
00:08:30
saying here and you get back into the
00:08:31
story the way you thought of it and you
00:08:33
got to say it and lean into it and go
00:08:35
this this and it sells it harder you're
00:08:37
not just saying it and so when uh Jim is
00:08:41
uh a little more animated or just that
00:08:43
style you have to bring it it's a little
00:08:46
trickier it definely is you can't walk
00:08:48
through it no I can't I can't walk
00:08:51
through this because and and it's
00:08:53
really the bad part of it for me is if
00:08:58
that energy is not there I don't do very
00:09:01
if I if my energy has to stay down here
00:09:04
I can adjust to it and then I could do
00:09:06
you know laid back storytelling but when
00:09:09
it's really really most explosive for me
00:09:12
is when they're I can feel their energy
00:09:14
right out of the gate and then that
00:09:16
feeds I guess like a band and then I and
00:09:20
then I start going in all different
00:09:22
directions that I didn't really plan and
00:09:24
then I'm in the zone and that's that's
00:09:27
when I have so much fun
00:09:29
so much fun and because you're
00:09:32
surprising yourself in the moment you're
00:09:34
you're going off yeah yes that I'm
00:09:37
addicted to that I don't enjoy repeating
00:09:41
yeah um like even now it's all leading
00:09:44
up to some specials but there's one
00:09:47
whole
00:09:48
section and if I every night I'm hitting
00:09:52
a section I'm like oh my God I'm bored
00:09:54
with this already I need to find another
00:09:56
Avenue and then I'll find another Avenue
00:09:58
like ah I love it again that's very true
00:10:02
that's very true it's one new bit one
00:10:04
new idea lifts the whole night out God
00:10:07
you try to do another bit you're going
00:10:08
out there and you're doing an hour and
00:10:09
you go I have one joke that's new and
00:10:12
you cannot wait you're like here I go
00:10:13
we're in the middle and then I smash it
00:10:15
because when it [ __ ] bombs I put a
00:10:17
winner before it and after and I just
00:10:19
act like nothing happened but if it
00:10:21
works the rest of the time I'm like oh
00:10:23
yeah it does wake you up yes it feels
00:10:27
good yeah you go still can think of
00:10:29
[ __ ] jokes it's so hard I hate when
00:10:31
something has been killing for a couple
00:10:33
years and then just all of a sudden it
00:10:35
starts to fade away and you're like
00:10:37
horrible horrible did I am I not
00:10:40
committing to it you know I always tell
00:10:41
young comedians I mean when if you see
00:10:43
someone run over something in a street
00:10:45
you come up to your apartment you're
00:10:47
talking to your friends you want to have
00:10:49
that kind of commitment and energy you
00:10:50
get right to it you're very clear
00:10:53
there's this lady driving a car this and
00:10:55
that then months later you just unravel
00:10:57
it and you don't really it's but your
00:11:00
energy is still up there man well thank
00:11:04
you let's let's get to the old Jim ju
00:11:07
said he loved something what what' you
00:11:08
love no no I loved I I got excited when
00:11:10
I saw you guys um hook up together and
00:11:13
start doing this I thought that was a I
00:11:15
thought that was
00:11:16
really fascinating interesting I was
00:11:18
like oh because you know there's a
00:11:20
billion podcast now yeah we're talk
00:11:22
about comedy again oh
00:11:25
[Music]
00:11:27
God that the
00:11:29
all right but then when I start and the
00:11:32
guy didn't pay me shut the [ __ ] up no we
00:11:35
agree we just kind of went oh I guess
00:11:37
we'll try this we started hanging out in
00:11:39
La when I moved back down a lot and then
00:11:41
uh we just sort of said H let's try it
00:11:44
and we didn't really have a plan
00:11:47
obviously um but that's the best part of
00:11:49
it I mean even when I even when I
00:11:51
started like we're able to just who
00:11:55
cares because at the end of the day you
00:11:56
go back on state you're we're already
00:11:59
established in that world you know all
00:12:00
three of us are so who cares you know
00:12:04
there's there's I won't say who it is
00:12:05
but there's a gargantuan at least one or
00:12:08
two comics on there nobody's watching
00:12:10
the podcast but doesn't stop the human
00:12:13
being from selling out
00:12:16
18,000 seats somewhere but this just
00:12:20
opens a whole new door for us where in
00:12:23
the years ago we didn't have this and
00:12:25
and human beings are fascinated by
00:12:28
anything that feels authentic used to
00:12:30
think it doesn't have to be funny every
00:12:31
second but just it this is a new thing
00:12:34
I'm glad I'm around long enough to like
00:12:36
okay this is a job that I have little
00:12:39
side gig did you feel any point you
00:12:41
don't want to get
00:12:42
vulnerable like on the podcast I don't I
00:12:45
I don't know how vulnerable the two of
00:12:46
you get like how truthful you guys get
00:12:48
Dan gets more um I would imagine yeah
00:12:51
yeah there's different kinds of
00:12:53
vulnerability there's stuff that maybe
00:12:55
would involve other loved ones M
00:12:59
wouldn't do that but you can ask me
00:13:01
anything you want about anything no
00:13:03
that's that's the way I mean that's what
00:13:05
I feel like I I over the years have
00:13:08
found out the more vulnerability I put
00:13:10
out there more honesty even if I think
00:13:12
people were like oh I don't I don't care
00:13:16
I'm I'm at the point I don't I don't
00:13:19
care what you know about me I'm G tell
00:13:21
you everything this one's I don't care
00:13:24
care you got nothing to hold on me
00:13:25
anymore I don't care my problem Jim is
00:13:28
I'm like a tough guy hard ass athlete
00:13:30
that's my Persona so people don't think
00:13:33
any anything could ever get to me
00:13:35
impenetrable cuz I'm so can't get yeah
00:13:38
I'm like the Schwarzenegger of comedy
00:13:41
and so when they see me they go
00:13:42
nothing's wrong there's nothing else
00:13:44
other than toughness after about a
00:13:47
hundred of these I realized there lny
00:13:49
dyra of well that's not a good one

00:29:58
many type of people um yeah they they
00:30:02
all come out of the woodwork you know
00:30:04
what I get Dana is a guy will come up to

00:30:30
middlemen like they go hey you should
00:30:31

00:30:35
he's the middleman getting attention
00:30:37
because he's like the guy that got me in
00:30:40
but he goes hey these guys want you to

he goes then I see him with the waiter
00:30:47
going just pay for his dinner like he's
00:30:48
a [ __ ] on TV and I'm like oh this
00:30:50
wasn't even set up ahead this is just a
00:30:52
guy a Flim Flam man bullshitting his way
00:30:55
through town but there's a lot of those
00:30:56
there's more of those and real people no
00:30:58
you're
00:31:01
[Music]
00:31:03
right so how were you in high school Jim
00:31:06
I mean were you popular were you a stud
00:31:08
were you a nerd no no no no no I I I was
00:31:12
way too shy yeah I I wasn't a stoner yet
00:31:15
I wasn't a stoner yet I didn't try pot
00:31:18
until my senior year right before I
00:31:21
graduated um but that really didn't kick
00:31:25
in
00:31:25
until I like 20 years old 21 years old
00:31:29
but High School I was really quiet
00:31:33
unless I was the back of the room kid so
00:31:36
I'd always go for the back of the room
00:31:37
and once I was back of the room if I can
00:31:39
disrupt this guy and get this guy on my
00:31:41
team or this chick on my team and then
00:31:43
we'd had you know I draw a little
00:31:44
cartoons try to crack up this one um but
00:31:47
it wasn't
00:31:49
until we did a a sketch night ah and I
00:31:55
right and
00:31:58
basically you know this kid one of my
00:32:00
best friends like Jim you got to do
00:32:03
sketch tonight I'm like I'm not doing
00:32:04
those sketch and's like no man this is
00:32:07
different they're really cool I'm like a
00:32:10
just I a I want anything to do with
00:32:13
theater so they basically like a Cosby
00:32:17
bit our school each grade
00:32:21
um each grade had to do a thing from the
00:32:24
Bible even though we weren't a a school
00:32:27
of Faith right
00:32:30
so my friend writes up pretty much and
00:32:34
he swears he had no clue Cosby did it
00:32:37
was the Cubit spit you know God goes uh
00:32:41
Noah I need you to yeah yeah build the B
00:32:44
Cubit what's a cubit he goes but but all
00:32:46
at that time all I would do is all day
00:32:50
imitate professional wrestlers running
00:32:52
into the locker smashing their heads and
00:32:54
the other thing I would do is talk like
00:32:56
Eddie Murphy
00:32:58
nonstop all all day so he said do it as
00:33:02
Eddie
00:33:05
Murphy so I finally agreed to
00:33:08
it and this is so now that I really
00:33:10
think of it like I could really getting

00:33:49
never I'm never killed that hard
00:33:53
since not really I've been trying to

00:34:04
funny but the next day in

00:34:22
were such a pisser it's like a teen
00:34:24
movie everything's going perfectly the
00:34:26
next day
00:34:27
it was it was Dave if you wrote the
00:34:30
script you ah it's a little too
00:34:32
predictable yeah yeah it really was that
00:34:35
and then the next night I had to do it
00:34:37
again they were chanting and I just I
00:34:39
was already on the verge of like I'm
00:34:41
gonna be a standup I'm doing it but this
00:34:45
this put me over the I was like oh yeah
00:34:48

00:34:58
lot I'm like yeah what' you say and I
00:35:00
was doing this with my hands for some
00:35:04
reason that your mother your mother your
00:35:08
mother was enough back then we didn't
00:35:09
need crude language yeah you can hint at
00:35:12
it now it's got to be nail on the head
00:35:14
yeah high school if you can if you can
00:35:16
be cool that's [ __ ] spreads like
00:35:17
wildfire that's great yeah so that but
00:35:21
otherwise High School I really wasn't
00:35:24
uh I was I was mostly quiet I like I
00:35:27
grew up on a street we never had to
00:35:30
leave the street I I mean we had chicks
00:35:34
we had everyone who I still hang out
00:35:36
with is from that street we're all
00:35:38
within two three years of each other it
00:35:40

00:36:23
their side they like get back on that
00:36:25
side white like H sorry and then and
00:36:27
then if they would come down the street

they are um the downstairs they have
00:37:52
that whole HIIT private room and all

00:38:05
you know it's like being bunch of
00:38:07
Knuckleheads back being kids again do
00:38:09
you ever hear this though with relatives
00:38:11
or friends that come to your shows they
00:38:13
backstage they go no matter how many
00:38:16
times I hear those bits they're still
00:38:18
funny to me such a burn
00:38:22
yeah I've heard that thing you did 35
00:38:25
times I still I actually that's based on
00:38:29
me I think and they're like and you're
00:38:30
like
00:38:31
no no no I tell everyone that's about me
00:38:35
right no so how did these friends it's
00:38:39
about no that's not you go ahead how did
00:38:41
they respond when you started to get
00:38:44
really successful I mean first you must
00:38:45
have exploded in the clubs or became a
00:38:47
headliner at some point Right and
00:38:49
started to make good
00:38:50
money I'm assuming you were you weren't
00:38:53
a 10year tortured guy it seems like with
00:38:55
your skill set and attitude pretty
00:38:57
quickly you were no one wanted to follow
00:38:59
you put it that way yeah yeah so that
00:39:02
that started 89 to about
00:39:07
93 uh and that's when I so long
00:39:11
island then my parents did the move they
00:39:14
went to Florida I moved down there and I
00:39:16
kind
00:39:17
of lost my whole Direction moving down
00:39:21
there I couldn't really afford New York
00:39:23
on my own so I went down there and then
00:39:27
I
00:39:28
reamped and I started going to comedy
00:39:31
clubs so it was
00:39:33
89 started couple months in Florida you
00:39:37
started in Florida okay yeah and then
00:39:40
that led to being on the road I can't
00:39:43
follow this guy this kids a pain in the
00:39:46
ass um and that was the I gotta say that
00:39:49
was the greatest time ever like just
00:39:51
staying in crappy condos and listen like
00:39:54
I I've been doing comedy like 10 10
00:39:56
years and you hear all the story it was
00:39:58
a lot of fun and then did you ever have
00:40:00
novelty acts where you show up at the
00:40:02
comedians condo and like the vent Quist
00:40:04
took the headliner bedroom oh oh yeah
00:40:08
can't do that for people are listening
00:40:10
there's a comedian's condo and there's
00:40:12
yes usually the headliner gets the
00:40:14
master bedroom but if if the clown
00:40:16
showed up early then you're like well
00:40:19
why is there a juggler in the
00:40:21
master yeah exactly these the novelty
00:40:25
acts they had a guy named we had a
00:40:26
puppet named chuck wood he he didn't
00:40:28
want you to look at it don't don't touch
00:40:30
Chuck I mean he was like it really was
00:40:32
like a human being to him a piece of
00:40:35
wood [ __ ]
00:40:39

00:50:46
guy with Tourette's that's all I was I
00:50:49
just I said I want to do a guy and he
00:50:51
gets nervous he gets nervous when he's
00:50:53
with chicks and he sings and he starts
00:50:55
you know hello here and then Tom gianis
00:50:59
who was a writer
00:51:00
yeah waited months and he finally came
00:51:04
to I already forgot about it no one
00:51:05
cared about this character and he comes
00:51:08
to me he goes hey uh I think I I think I
00:51:11
got a great idea um so I've been
00:51:14
thinking about the goat I went was eight
00:51:16
months ago he's like no no no so what if
00:51:20
what if it was an experiment because you
00:51:23
know we're in the Middle East a lot so
00:51:24
they they're hbra and they and they have
00:51:27
to get up in the mountains but our but
00:51:28
our soldiers can't do it so they get a
00:51:30
goat and a person and the military but
00:51:32
it doesn't work so they just they just
00:51:35
really sing about it a lot and then so
00:51:37
they don't know what to do with this guy
00:51:39
who who who loves the 80s because and so
00:51:42
VH1 gives him a show I'm like are you
00:51:45
[ __ ] are you Ser that's the craziest
00:51:47
[ __ ] I've ever heard
00:51:50
anded on doing it and I was pissed like
00:51:53
this is so stupid and it
00:51:56
just it it murdered it it was it was
00:52:00
just confusing to
00:52:02
people go you had goat ears you were
00:52:05
like a scientific Hy the outfit I didn't
00:52:08
want the but the thing about it Jim is
00:52:12
that as an audience member watching it
00:52:15
it's like you don't I don't know how
00:52:17
long you're gonna Bray as a goat or when
00:52:19
you might hit a little one so there's an
00:52:21
improvisational quality that the
00:52:23
audience can feel you a performer are in
00:52:26
tune with that for me all that standup
00:52:28
of like oh they like it I'm going to hit
00:52:30
one here and I'm going to do a long one
00:52:32
here so it had this thing that was
00:52:35
pretty electric everyone's just waiting
00:52:36
for it then you go a long time without
00:52:38
it everyone's
00:52:39
like and you
00:52:42
yeah it is well here's something you
00:52:44
don't know and I owe you an apology and
00:52:47
you don't even know why oh okay accepted
00:52:51
yes no so when you first of all you came
00:52:54
on you know for a lot of us especially
00:52:56
me I was like oh [ __ ] like this is wow
00:53:00
and Lauren was already prepping the
00:53:03
table like we're gonna have when Dana
00:53:05
comes here he's just it's gonna be like
00:53:08
he was already setting the table you
00:53:10
guys have no clue how this is going down
00:53:12
right
00:53:14
so I never had anyone
00:53:18
improv right and by the time you came on
00:53:21
I started feeling like my I got some I'm
00:53:24
starting have those Tuesday night
00:53:28
dinners
00:53:29
okay cool
00:53:31
group I'm having Tuesday night dinners
00:53:34
like oh [ __ ] Jim uh the Branzino is
00:53:39
fresh give it a try right and you came
00:53:44
on and absolutely murdered you were you
00:53:46
were
00:53:48
um Wham the No noge George Mich George
00:53:52
Michaels yeah you Michael and you were
00:53:57
murdering and I would
00:53:59
like like I look back in time like God
00:54:03
damn it I wish I just listened and
00:54:05
watched more and then fed off your
00:54:08
energy where during that you're crushing
00:54:12
and then I would do something but then
00:54:13
you'd improv and I'd get I'd be like
00:54:16
you're stepping on my [ __ ] and I and I
00:54:20
try to recover and there was even one
00:54:23
where I put like an angry girl I was
00:54:24
like
00:54:26
and
00:54:28
I I was George Michael and who were you
00:54:31
go boy yeah
00:54:33
like we were oh was that mashup yeah God
00:54:36
I remember now yeah yeah so it's George
00:54:37
Michael and the gooy are you are so
00:54:41
funny at it and but it was the first
00:54:45
time that
00:54:47
I that we really had
00:54:51
someone what I would say super
00:54:53
professional and like so so in the
00:54:55
element of live like we're still we're
00:54:58
still learning Dave already left Spade
00:55:01
already left
00:55:02
so now we're figuring we stick to the
00:55:05
lines we don't go too far off it but you
00:55:08
brought this whole and I just wish at
00:55:11
that moment I understood that even
00:55:14
better um because that sketch probably
00:55:17
would have went to a even a monstrosity
00:55:21
level if I was willing to play as much
00:55:24
as your expert
00:55:25
you probably also thought you would get
00:55:27
in trouble I did I did well there yeah
00:55:31
but just for a second I mean I had done
00:55:34
140 shows then I'm coming back this was
00:55:36
your third show Fourth this was this was
00:55:40
the second season maybe maybe my third
00:55:44
real sketch yeah and I I felt that I
00:55:48
needed three SE 60 or 80 shows for the
00:55:51
audience to kind of discover me and for
00:55:53
me to get more confident I mean in a in
00:55:55
another level I mean I got more
00:55:58
confident but you were still early on so
00:56:01
yeah you know I just thought you were a
00:56:03
kindred spirit that you were playing
00:56:06
with rhythms I thought your peshi was
00:56:08
great um and it was just a really funny
00:56:11
take on on Joe peshi I don't know I
00:56:13
thought you were just a completely
00:56:14
kindred spirit to me as a performer I
00:56:18
felt that way and I always I loved I
00:56:21
really admired like both you guys like
00:56:24
whenever you guys would just like Dave
00:56:25
once in a while would come up and he
00:56:26
would just interact with me backstage
00:56:29
like Dave just talk to me he thinks I'm
00:56:33
cool he didn't you know you had no clue
00:56:34
you had that effect but I people always
00:56:38
say how was your experience there and I
00:56:40
always
00:56:42
say I don't
00:56:45
have I I loved being a part of the whole
00:56:49
thing and between you and I I would have
00:56:52
loved to even still be on there I wanted
00:56:54
to I wanted to be the guy who stays on
00:56:58
there for like eight years and then the
00:57:01
summer times makes Killer movies I
00:57:03
wanted to make Lauren proud I wanted to
00:57:06
um and you know don't always go that way
00:57:10
I started I started
00:57:12
having uh with Fred Wolf who is oh yeah
00:57:17
our friend both Fred he he was he was a
00:57:20
tremendous Ally and Steve K and those
00:57:23
guys and then once they once they quit
00:57:26
it was it was a lot more difficult after
00:57:29
that yeah yeah it was very and they told
00:57:31
me that they
00:57:33
literally I swear to God I'll never
00:57:35
forget I didn't understand what they
00:57:36
meant and uh Fred came up to me and said
00:57:39
Jimmy B Jimmy B you're my guy but I gota
00:57:42
be honest with me I'm leaving man I'm
00:57:43
gonna go help spade and I you're you're
00:57:46
on your own bro this is gonna get tough
00:57:49
I didn't I didn't understand what that
00:57:51
meant politically you didn't have anyone
00:57:53
back in you I had no clue what that I
00:57:56
learned it we've heard a version of this
00:57:59
story from other cast members go ahead
00:58:01
and then um when Steve kin
00:58:05
left he was the last guy like I didn't
00:58:10
know you can go to Lauren and and plead
00:58:12
your case and I knew I think it was I
00:58:15
think it was my third episode and I had
00:58:17
enough with certain individuals not cast
00:58:23
writers and
00:58:26
it was really I I realized I was I was
00:58:29
fighting egos which you can't fight and
00:58:34
um it was extremely frustrating made me
00:58:36
very
00:58:37
angry um and I remember that night it
00:58:40
was Matthew bradick and I the person
00:58:44
came in and said hey I know it worked
00:58:47
during the the dress show but we're not
00:58:50
going to do that we're going to do the
00:58:52
other I was like you [ __ ] you
00:58:54
you want that sketch on so goddamn you
00:58:57
[ __ ] so
00:59:00
um I said whose decision was that Lauren
00:59:02
I said well then I'll go talk to Lauren
00:59:04
he went no no no no no no no no no no
00:59:07
I'm [ __ ] talking to Lauren and I want
00:59:09
to hear from him we're not doing this
00:59:11
[ __ ] because I had enough your [ __ ]
00:59:13
you've been nonstop and then I knew at
00:59:16
that moment it's like those memes this
00:59:19
is the moment when Jim knew he [ __ ] up
00:59:23
and I got a call that
00:59:26
summer from an NBC executive and he's
00:59:30
like
00:59:30
Jim I
00:59:33
uh don't tell anyone I can get fired for
00:59:36
this but what happened between you and
00:59:40
so and
00:59:41
so I don't I don't know I he's like well
00:59:45
they're trying to ask you right now like
00:59:47
what like oh yeah they're zoning and
00:59:50
these these guys went you out I'm like
00:59:52
really I said you know what I don't want
00:59:55
to I don't want to be there if that's
00:59:56
the way it's going to be I really don't
00:59:58
want to be there I'm smoking pot all the
01:00:00
time trying to numb myself I'm becoming
01:00:03
angry I've seen enough I've seen I've
01:00:05
seen enough I was uh I was also
01:00:08
traumatized by The Farley situation that
01:00:11
was so I I saw enough on both sides of
01:00:14
the curtain I was like ah you know
01:00:18
what I'm gonna have some
01:00:20
kids I'm gonna I'm G I'm gonna walk away
01:00:23
for a little while I this is this I'm
01:00:26
not made for this really not made for
01:00:27
this not in this style of environment
01:00:31
sure uh where where it's that hardcore
01:00:33
show business
01:00:35
but I really wanted to be there for like
01:00:39
I loved I loved the show I loved showing
01:00:42
up on Thursdays to watch the band I
01:00:45
loved hang up the bands I would watch
01:00:47
the other sketches I I would cheer or
01:00:49
cast on you're a good cheerleader you
01:00:51
are I [ __ ] love it man I I I cheer
01:00:55
for everyone I really don't I'm not in
01:00:56
competition with anyone but um so that
01:00:59
was my tenure but I also realized this
01:01:02
life went on like Lauren is he's like a
01:01:07
I'll use the word mobster where I would
01:01:10
go to they're like hey we want to meet
01:01:11
with you and the first thing they'd
01:01:12
always say so uh how are you with
01:01:16
Lauren I'm like
01:01:18
uh I don't know this is a reality TV
01:01:21
show like does it really matter right
01:01:23
now I'm like yeah I think it was good I
01:01:25
think we ended okay and it did and the
01:01:28
last thing Laur Lauren said to me was
01:01:32
Jim you're too nice for this
01:01:35
industry if you ever want to do anything
01:01:37
I'm your producer I said thank you
01:01:39
Lauren and that's that's how we you know
01:01:41
I see him in like the four years or
01:01:43
something like that but wow I always I
01:01:45
always had a deep admiration for him um
01:01:50
because I also understand his view where
01:01:53
he's watching people and bringing them
01:01:55
to a place and some people get
01:01:57
frustrated and they think they need more
01:01:59
attention and but I don't know I I even
01:02:02
just having kids and dealing with that
01:02:03
with a little staff here and there I I
01:02:07
don't know how you do that with
01:02:08
entertainers like us that are just
01:02:10
nonstop you're like oh my God that is
01:02:13
what is it about that show I mean the
01:02:15
people we've interviewed um some of them
01:02:19
said similar kind of stories one cast I
01:02:22
I don't really know why I left
01:02:24
what really happened but there was a sea
01:02:26
change couple writers left and these are
01:02:29
very successful people and F suddenly it
01:02:31
got kind of tilted but none of us ever
01:02:34
get that experience out of our heads
01:02:37
just because it's ADH it's New York City
01:02:40
it's live it's the you know you'll never
01:02:43
get it quite out of it but uh I just
01:02:45
think yeah you're such an organic sketch
01:02:48
player Like It just fits you like a
01:02:50
glove and it's too bad you didn't have
01:02:52
just all you needed was one yeah one
01:02:54
writer who gets you who also has a voice
01:02:57
in the room after read through Steve
01:03:00
Korn and it was great writer yeah and
01:03:03
Hell great guy yeah also I had one
01:03:06
against me but I had a couple for me and
01:03:08
then it but it still things were getting
01:03:11
killed because I couldn't I didn't have
01:03:14
everybody on my team so it would be like
01:03:16
half would get through or third and I
01:03:17
was like ah I had a dis I had a
01:03:20
dissident in there is that the word and
01:03:22
uh but you don't know that I didn't know
01:03:24
till later and then you go like [ __ ] it
01:03:26
drives you bad like you don't know
01:03:28
what's going on no you don't know what's
01:03:30
going on even to the point where um I
01:03:33
found out something else later down but
01:03:35
I think why it's so frustrating for for
01:03:39
for you Dave people like me
01:03:43
Dana
01:03:44
um I would say more comedians the reason
01:03:48
being we do our presentation we get the
01:03:51
immediate feedback so we know what works
01:03:54
so when you're in the when you're when
01:03:56
you're creating a sketch or whatever and
01:03:58
you know it's going to crush and then
01:04:01
you re you do the readr and it
01:04:04
murders and then it's not even
01:04:07
acknowledged it's I say imagine you're
01:04:10
going for a baseball team and you're
01:04:13
like okay everyone line up all right
01:04:15
Spade you're a ping oh [ __ ] this guy's
01:04:18
hit 12 line drives off the wall three in
01:04:21
the upper deck all right here comes
01:04:23
another this guy looks smart he's got
01:04:25
glass to where he's from Harvard okay
01:04:26
Harvard guy okay that's a bunt all right
01:04:29
it's a one strikeout caught looking wow
01:04:32
it's another one caught looking with the
01:04:33
runners on base Jesus okay so here's who
01:04:36
we picked we picked out um the Harvard
01:04:39
guy like what what are we going to the
01:04:42
game like are we competing today are we
01:04:45
what is going on and so it was when
01:04:47
you're in those battles and you see them
01:04:51
with your own two eyes you just go oh my
01:04:55
it's there's no Rhyme or Reason
01:04:57
sometimes did you have anyone who would
01:04:59
like you kill with that and it doesn't
01:05:01
get on the show that was in the room
01:05:04
with Lauren picking the show not even in
01:05:06
an angry way but like what's up with my
01:05:08
sketch I mean what was it what is it too
01:05:11
redundant host didn't like it was there
01:05:12
any Rhyme or Reason that you could find
01:05:15
out about just I I wouldn't B what I
01:05:19
would get this is see I'm I'm starting
01:05:22
to have flashbacks now I thought I I
01:05:25
thought I buried this and I I patted it
01:05:28
all down but now
01:05:31
like yes mission accomplished there was
01:05:36
there was um this is what drove me nuts
01:05:41
I would get
01:05:43
this Hey listen uh Lauren doesn't like
01:05:45
drunk characters the character is really
01:05:48
funny that you do but um he you know
01:05:51
since you know since like John and stuff
01:05:54

a yeah there was there was individuals
01:07:36
that that one in particular who I would
01:07:39
call out and always just honest when I
01:07:42
told you this story and then he finally
01:07:44
reached out on Twitter he goes stop
01:07:48
lying about I'm the one who want to get
01:07:50
you fired I went well it's the truth' oh
01:07:54
that's well and then he then he finally
01:07:56
I said I don't do Twitter you can call
01:07:58
me and we could talk about it and he
01:08:01
couldn't huh interesting go ahead yeah
01:08:05
he couldn't believe I was holding on to
01:08:07
this this long but just like anywhere if
01:08:10
you're enjoying your life and someone
01:08:11
goes hey man I'm gonna make your life
01:08:13
miserable and get you fired you [ __ ]
01:08:15
remember that so
01:08:19
um the person emailed
01:08:22
me and he said it went
01:08:26
from um I never had any pull with Lauren
01:08:30
and the fact that you think I actually
01:08:32
had any power to try to get you fired
01:08:35
just looted Chris I have zero power I go
01:08:37
well it's funny because I know for a
01:08:40
fact someone in that room called
01:08:42
me and they said quote Jim needs to go I
01:08:48
think he's an issue uh we can get
01:08:51
someone who's just as funny and maybe
01:08:53
more animated blah blah blah blah blah I
01:08:55
just don't think I think he's way
01:08:57
overrated blah blah blah and he could
01:08:59
tell by the
01:09:00
quote Oh [ __ ] so he who's he talking to
01:09:04
so then his next email
01:09:06
said well maybe I
01:09:10
didn't encourage them to keep
01:09:14
you and then I and then I finally said
01:09:17
who the person was and they went well
01:09:20
I'm sorry that you've been holding on to
01:09:22
this you're a great power if I did that
01:09:25
I apologize blah blah blah and I'm went
01:09:27
that's all right I just wanted you to
01:09:29
acknowledge that I knew andn because
01:09:33
this person's an incredible writer I and
01:09:36
it's tough it's tough coming from
01:09:38
somebody good too he's so good like I
01:09:42
was I wish I could be in any of his
01:09:44
stuff they
01:09:47
were they're incredible and that's what
01:09:50
that's what was more um that's what hurt
01:09:52
more and that's what was more
01:09:54
frustrating it's like dude just if you
01:09:58
don't like me just I there's other ways
01:10:01
to do it as long as it's
01:10:06
[Music]
01:10:08
funny it's there's an organic
01:10:11
volatile uh emotionally violent thing
01:10:14
around Saturday Night Live it just is
01:10:17
you throw 10 comedians in a room and 20
01:10:19
writers and and there's only so many
01:10:21
spots on the show and all kind of stuff
01:10:24
happens you create alliances it's Game
01:10:26
of Thrones you start moving the chest
01:10:28
pieces this person I'll I'll combine
01:10:31
with this person we'll try to defeat you
01:10:33
know so it's it's a very typical Story I
01:10:36
mean the great thing is like you're as
01:10:38
funny or funnier than you've ever been
01:10:40
and you're killing it got a huge
01:10:42
following and you're you're just
01:10:44
everybody's at some point off SNL except
01:10:47
for Keenan Thompson
01:10:49
but he's unable who may be the greatest
01:10:53
cast member
01:10:54
but we all are ex and it's no matter
01:10:56
what happens even if you're Adam Sandler
01:10:58
or will farell they're going to Saturday
01:10:59
Night Live in their movies so it is a
01:11:01
thing but I think you made a great Mark
01:11:04
and your story you just have to forgive
01:11:07
the whole experience I do and I know
01:11:09
that we talk to us about it right now I
01:11:11
I have the same thing I'll go completely
01:11:13
back to something it brings me back too
01:11:15
you talk and I'll be really animated for
01:11:17
10 minutes and then just move on but
01:11:19
we're all ex-cast
01:11:20
members most people have some regret or
01:11:23
something that didn't quote you know
01:11:24
there's certain it's just very common so
01:11:27
anyway I I you have my you have my
01:11:29
empathy that's that's a wicked story
01:11:32
well I'll tell you I'll tell you both
01:11:35
like it's um I'm I'm honored to come on
01:11:38
here I've always looked up to both of
01:11:41
you
01:11:42
um I've always looked up to the both of
01:11:45
you so like when you guys when I saw you
01:11:47
guys connecting I actually I really like
01:11:50
the fact that you can finally see a
01:11:53
different side side of the two of you
01:11:54
just a talking side and you can go in
01:11:57
all these directions I I love what you
01:11:59
guys are doing so I was very honored to
01:12:02
be part of this for sure thank you
01:12:04
that's I mean it is the thing about
01:12:05
podcasting because if I go on stage you
01:12:08
know it's always Fastener comedy safety
01:12:11
B the man's coming you know the you know
01:12:15
and now I'm just in a room chatting I
01:12:17
can be myself but there is that pressure
01:12:19
he's oh my God he's gonna [ __ ]
01:12:21
levitate you know so it's I mean it's a
01:12:24
good problem to have you know I feel
01:12:27
like back at SNL I was like especially
01:12:29
that year I stayed over it was such a
01:12:31
weird Bridge year for me because Adam
01:12:35
and Chris left my two main guys
01:12:38
Schneider was gone maybe Timmy was still
01:12:41
there but I was I was only doing Lauren
01:12:44
goes stay and I'll give you five minutes
01:12:46
a week and you do whatever you want and
01:12:48
so I didn't really have to sketches so
01:12:50
there was a slight disconnect so I don't
01:12:52
even know how I came came across to cast
01:12:54
because I was so worried about doing
01:12:57
these 5 minutes I had my own little
01:12:59
thing to do it's like update you get
01:13:00
your own little chunk and so I am in the
01:13:02
cast but I'm not really I don't think I
01:13:03
did many sketches it was more like I'd
01:13:05
go on the road try to do field pieces so
01:13:07
I come back and I didn't get that close
01:13:10
to anybody even though it was kind of
01:13:12
fun I was in the middle ground you know
01:13:13
what I mean you were and uh it wasn't as
01:13:16
fun for me it probably wasn't as fun for
01:13:18
them to be on the cast with me either
01:13:20
because I felt like I was a senior that
01:13:22
stayed a year too long and and I was
01:13:25
like [ __ ] what am I still doing here and
01:13:27
I sort of had that costic humor but
01:13:30
which you know changed over the years
01:13:32
but it was uh it was definitely a weird
01:13:35
time for me and I thought I shouldn't be
01:13:37
here anymore it it wasn't as fun it was
01:13:39
fun doing those little bits but there's
01:13:41
so much time in between I mean I'm not
01:13:43
really part of rehearsal I'm not really
01:13:44
part of music I'm not part of and the
01:13:47
show is going on without me and I'm like
01:13:49
I'm with one writer on the side doing
01:13:51
bits pre-tape a lot of the time
01:13:53
so definitely weird I just didn't get
01:13:56
that close to anybody that time it was
01:13:58
it was an odd it was like one step too
01:14:01
many I should just pulled the plug but
01:14:03
like you if you got nowhere to go and
01:14:06
you're on SNL everywhere else feels like
01:14:08
down and and you know like you're saying
01:14:11
these stories and the reason they
01:14:12
resonate is because everyone isn't
01:14:15
asking you about Buddies the pilot
01:14:19
they're asking about SNL the rest of
01:14:20
your life so they just have nothing else
01:14:22
to say go SNL and then that's just a
01:14:25
thing that you're stuck with you know
01:14:28
it's also no matter how what your time
01:14:30
frame is you've got two iconic things
01:14:32
that people would always bring up I
01:14:34
assume if you do a Q&A or someone yells
01:14:36
out sure goat boy or peshy I don't know
01:14:38
if you throw it in there when you're
01:14:39
riffing so you you made your Mark um
01:14:43
it's and I I like that I call it like
01:14:46
you went to battle and everyone got the
01:14:50
tattoo and no matter what like how's
01:14:52
your career and you and you go and they
01:14:55
go oh [ __ ] you made a mar the D the goat
01:14:59
and wow because you to get through that
01:15:03
and get a catchphrase or get a sketch
01:15:05
people know it's almost impossible
01:15:07
that's what I wanted even having by-bye
01:15:09
or something where people knew it and
01:15:11
you go hey I went on the show I came out
01:15:13
and there was something that caught on
01:15:16
you know you're just part of the history
01:15:17
of like hey I got something in there
01:15:20
that people would remember and and the
01:15:21
show is still [ __ ] going going you're
01:15:25
still coming up with [ __ ] going in Full
01:15:27
Circle when Fred armson left the show he
01:15:29
emailed me and goes how do you deal with
01:15:31
it how he left and he couldn't watch it
01:15:33
he goes they're doing my show what's
01:15:35
going on so everybody has this
01:15:37
Melancholy if you're ever near the
01:15:39
building again it's like going back to
01:15:41
your high school on a Sunday afternoon
01:15:44
and going really there's this sort of
01:15:46
emotionality that's the the fun part of
01:15:48
this podcast because everyone has these
01:15:51
feelings about that show you know just
01:15:54
something about it and Lauren is still
01:15:55
there and it's still an ADH and it's all
01:15:58
the sex
01:16:00
same amazing yeah he gets terrified

like you can you can hire the biggest
01:17:11
production team and put everything in it
01:17:13
if you just put from your phone a little
01:17:15
piece of the set it's it's that's
01:17:18
