00:04:42
um
00:04:43
is started
00:04:45
um it's only an hour you still have the
00:04:47
rest you know what the [ __ ] it's only an
00:04:49
hour it's like it's like
00:04:52
a ripoff
00:04:53
[Music]
00:04:56
foreign
00:04:58
[Music]
00:05:01
ERS it doesn't go well half the time and
00:05:04
they come back alive and don't have it
00:05:06
wired can you choose to be exploded or
00:05:09
just hit in the head with a sledgehammer
00:05:11
or Mike Tyson with a free punch that's
00:05:13
how I want to go out that's it that's a
00:05:15
that's a great idea and I don't think
00:05:17
they really give you choices anymore and
00:05:18
they should you should be able to say
00:05:20
you should pick from a hundred things
00:05:21
how would you want to go out well at
00:05:24
first I would want to just chug a quart
00:05:26
of vodka probably I mean I'd want to get
00:05:28
really anesthetized I've had operations
00:05:31
where I'm coming to on morphine and they
00:05:33
could have just chopped me in half I
00:05:35
couldn't care less so I'd get vodka
00:05:37
morphine yeah and then I would try to
00:05:40
run a hundred miles in the desert
00:05:43
oh okay so like you'd want to accomplish
00:05:46
something right yeah I don't know I
00:05:48
wouldn't have lofty goals anymore I
00:05:50
don't know what about you Tom or David
00:05:52
what about what do you guys got I mean
00:05:55
the feel good podcast of the year I'd
00:05:58
like to see like if I could
00:06:00
like really take a stabbing you know
00:06:03
like how like how how many does it take
00:06:05
like woodsy of the owl when on the pop
00:06:07
commercial how many does it take till
00:06:09
you go all right enough yeah yeah huh
00:06:11
what if it was like somebody just throw
00:06:12
I've always wanted to see some so like
00:06:14
push us safe off of a ledge onto
00:06:17
somebody so you know do it to me I'd
00:06:19
like Tony Robbins to push my head into
00:06:21
that cold plunge pool he has and just
00:06:23
hold me under
00:06:27
doing me a favor because that guy's got
00:06:30
meaty mitts he does
00:06:33
this is one of our most interesting
00:06:35
startings
00:06:37
um but Tom Segura Dana is Tom Segura an
00:06:41
American hero he um I mean I don't think
00:06:44
you've heard he keeps what did he do he
00:06:48
created a comedy Empire outside the
00:06:51
traditional system of Johnny Carson and
00:06:54
Saturday Night Live he's here right now
00:06:56
Tom and he created a comedy Empire
00:06:59
leveraging this new technology
00:07:02
and it's it's brilliant and his specials
00:07:05
are amazing I have to say I heard a lot
00:07:08
of your good stuff today thank you don't
00:07:10
forget I also I hosted asking now twice
00:07:12
but keep going you did that was back in
00:07:14
the when they weren't filming it that's
00:07:16
funny because we get a Tom Segura guess
00:07:19
prep they would tell us that have they
00:07:22
asked you to host recently
00:07:24
um uh negative
00:07:26
that's kind of strange because they've
00:07:28
reached critical mass where they would
00:07:30
think Hmm
00:07:32
check the numbers well you have to be on
00:07:34
the radar because listen first of all
00:07:37
with SNL you grew up you did grow up and
00:07:40
when you were growing up
00:07:43
did you watch SNL most people did so
00:07:46
much and what was your chunk that you
00:07:48
were into the most chunk of casting when
00:07:51
when we were 12 or 14 in what year like
00:07:55
19 I mean Dana is
00:07:58
the [ __ ] goat for sure yes yeah
00:08:02
you're the greatest Tom I'm blushing if
00:08:05
I could you are thank you I mean I was
00:08:08
um of course uh I was absolutely
00:08:11
obsessed I never missed it and for that
00:08:14
time period you know so I was uh what I
00:08:16
was born in 79 you know when you get
00:08:18
into the early 90s late 80s early 90s
00:08:22
that there's probably like a there's
00:08:24
probably a six year window there where I
00:08:26
don't miss a single episode I think you
00:08:29
know that's um like that was what we did
00:08:31
I mean I told the David when we
00:08:33
podcasted it was like we would watch SNL
00:08:36
and then it's like Monday morning you
00:08:38
just go in and just repeat the lines
00:08:41
that's all we would do I mean you know
00:08:43
just like all all the Impressions and
00:08:46
you were you're a [ __ ] chameleon I
00:08:48
mean you were amazing uh uh Dana thank
00:08:51
you thank you I know that David was
00:08:53
there no Lauren did say David I want you
00:08:56
to be an extra by the way the funniest
00:08:57
thing about Lauren is saying I brought
00:08:59
you in as a backup for Dana knowing he
00:09:01
was leaving and I'm like I don't even do
00:09:04
what Dana does no one does like just
00:09:05
because I have blonde hair it's like I I
00:09:08
do a whole different thing but Dana was
00:09:10
so good and so fun to watch is that it
00:09:14
made it impossible for someone like me
00:09:16
to even contemplate going on us and all
00:09:18
because that is Dana's like the
00:09:20
quintessential SNL person funny scores
00:09:24
goes into sketches disappears and any
00:09:26
characters in the news you play them and
00:09:28
that's so versatile and like you could
00:09:30
do like you could have a standout like
00:09:32
the lead character or like you said you
00:09:34
could walk through a scene and deliver a
00:09:36
line and I think that would probably be
00:09:39
from like when I imagine I always
00:09:40
imagine what it's like not to host but
00:09:42
to be a cast member because it's like
00:09:44
obviously that's not a thing that'll
00:09:46
ever happen but like you imagine it and
00:09:48
I go man that would intimidate the [ __ ]
00:09:50
out of me to be in a cast with you but I
00:09:52
think I would be like [ __ ] because you
00:09:54
you're so good at all of it that I would
00:09:57
just be like I don't know what I do here
00:09:58
oh it surprised me too just quickly I
00:10:01
mean I I did not have an enormous amount
00:10:04
of confidence when I was really and it
00:10:06
was a little bit like okay I guess I got
00:10:09
it I felt a little sick to my stomach
00:10:10
but as I went forward when I was trying
00:10:14
to do stand up as a sketch player
00:10:18
without really great material but just
00:10:20
riffing characters sometimes that was
00:10:22
kind of difficult but as I got it
00:10:24
Forward on Sno I got more confidence and
00:10:26
that getting confidence is a magical
00:10:30
feeling whatever you're doing going back
00:10:32
to our guest Tom no it's like when did
00:10:36
you when did you turn like you're you
00:10:38
start doing stand-up and you're going
00:10:40
along and then at one point you you kind
00:10:44
of Leap Forward was it confidence work
00:10:46
ethic or just time I mean how soon would
00:10:48
you're going I'm pretty much
00:10:50
consistently can do an hour and pretty
00:10:52
much consistently levitate the room well
00:10:56
or even if when you felt confident like
00:10:58
I'm gonna one of the first times okay
00:11:00
I'm gonna do this I was definitely a
00:11:03
Relentless
00:11:04
um worker as a stand-up so once I you
00:11:07
know once I understood how the system
00:11:09
worked I was like oh like they let you
00:11:11
emcee I was like you know I I just
00:11:14
wanted to feature right just wanted to
00:11:15
be like the middle act and I took every
00:11:18
a single offer all over the country to
00:11:22
to Middle everywhere and then when I
00:11:24
cracked headlining I just I just kept
00:11:26
doing it so aggressively like I we just
00:11:29
worked worked worked worked like we like
00:11:30
I never took I hated having a week off
00:11:33
so I I you know I mean not like anybody
00:11:36
enjoys that but I'm saying it it was
00:11:38
just like a relentless
00:11:39
pursuit of it and then you kind of feel
00:11:42
like yeah there's a thing where you go
00:11:43
like oh I'm proficient at this I I know
00:11:45
how to do this but you realize it
00:11:47
doesn't matter
00:11:49
um if people don't know like people come
00:11:52
to the shows and have a good time but
00:11:54
you're like man this thing's not going
00:11:55
to change unless people buy tickets you
00:11:57
know to see you yeah it's like you're
00:12:00
just coming you're just there because
00:12:01
they're coming to a comedy club in
00:12:03
general exactly but you need them to
00:12:05
switch and go because they used to have
00:12:06
mailing lists and stuff and maybe you
00:12:08
did that oh I I did um you know we call
00:12:11
it obviously they call it paper in the
00:12:13
room it's like they the club goes hey
00:12:15
we're at the you know this is the Omaha
00:12:17
Funny Bone at the mall and they just
00:12:19
reach out to their list and they go
00:12:21
here's the ACT this week and people go
00:12:22
who's that and they go well it's a free
00:12:24
ticket
00:12:25
and that's what I did I just did those
00:12:26
for years and years when and did those
00:12:28
over and over and over but you get to
00:12:30
the point where you're like hey I feel
00:12:32
like I could
00:12:34
sell a ticket if people knew who who I
00:12:38
was but the only thing that was doing
00:12:40
that at the time was just specials you
00:12:42
have to get like a special out and
00:12:44
that's that that became just my goal was
00:12:46
to get an hour special out and then when
00:12:49
it did come out it did uh change things
00:12:51
for me first one change things yeah well
00:12:54
the half hour did that's the funny thing
00:12:56
is I remember the producer uh in
00:12:58
comedies at Comedy Central I'm in New
00:13:00
York and we're shooting uh Comedy
00:13:01
Central presents which was like I
00:13:03
thought I mean a huge goal right because
00:13:06
every comic that I looked up to had him
00:13:09
presents and I shot it and it went well
00:13:11
and I remember the producer pulling me
00:13:13
aside going this is going to change your
00:13:16
road work and I was like really and I
00:13:18
got so excited but I tried to keep it
00:13:21
inside I was like oh thank you so much
00:13:24
oh thank you God and it came out
00:13:27
and
00:13:28
when it came out you know
00:13:31
I saw I saw like some
00:13:33
stuff on social media or whatever and
00:13:35
then I was like what's about to happen
00:13:38
and I called my agent and I was like Hey
00:13:40
I want to work this club and he's like
00:13:42
okay and he called and he goes yeah they
00:13:45
said no
00:13:46
and I go yeah but I I have a Comedy
00:13:49
Central presents but I did a game
00:13:51
changer they don't they don't care
00:13:52
everyone says Game Changer my agents
00:13:55
every year used to go this is going to
00:13:56
be your year and I go you [ __ ] like
00:13:58
you say that every year and it gets me
00:14:00
actually I believe it I go yeah this one
00:14:03
they're like yeah I go like they know
00:14:04
something I go they just say that to
00:14:06
shut you up and I'm like oh my god well
00:14:09
what should I do to prepare and then
00:14:10
that's what you were doing is like I
00:14:12
gotta presents under my belt that's
00:14:14
funny when people go you do a premium
00:14:16
brand blend you do presents you know
00:14:18
that's the lingo dude yeah and I really
00:14:21
thought like this is gonna be a real
00:14:24
thing for me like this is gonna make
00:14:25
things different you know I really did I
00:14:28
agree I mean do you think that's you're
00:14:30
famous you go I will be famous starting
00:14:32
tomorrow did you from that first half
00:14:34
hour did you feel like
00:14:37
um I'll just get better or or did you
00:14:40
did you work even harder or how did did
00:14:42
you keep improving from that point
00:14:44
because the writing I'm seeing now is is
00:14:46
so you know as good as it gets it's a
00:14:49
bit you're Landing
00:14:51
um and the acting you're doing in it I
00:14:53
mean when did that come up was it sort
00:14:55
of the first one that went on Netflix or
00:14:57
something did you make leaps even or was
00:14:59
it just exposure you were already
00:15:01
completely I think I always I think I
00:15:04
always stay you know it's funny you
00:15:06
you're around you're around comedians
00:15:07
obviously all the time right as a comic
00:15:09
and you see you realize what a disease
00:15:12
the um the bitterness of these guys yeah
00:15:16
never hang out with comedians I hate you
00:15:18
guys yeah it's like they're they're just
00:15:20
but they're just like miserable about
00:15:23
their like [ __ ] just never work and I I
00:15:26
always try to stay away from those like
00:15:29
that or at least I you can't stay away
00:15:31
from it but you go I don't want to
00:15:32
embrace that and so I told myself that I
00:15:35
was like well if this didn't change
00:15:37
things like the way that I go it's the
00:15:39
next thing and the next thing The Next
00:15:41
Step Up would be the full hour so I was
00:15:42
like I need to do an hour special which
00:15:44
again
00:15:46
became like my my soul goal and uh and I
00:15:51
only cared about being on Comedy Central
00:15:53
because that's that was the spot I was
00:15:55
like it was 2013 I was like it's got to
00:15:58
be Comedy Central
00:15:59
and we invited Comedy Central to see it
00:16:01
and they said they literally said what's
00:16:04
they said well there's not really a
00:16:05
theme that was the feedback I got oh
00:16:08
really I mean I told my manager at the
00:16:11
time I was like I think the theme is
00:16:12
jokes you know Tom I'm more like that
00:16:14
too I I I look at some people's act and
00:16:16
I go when they do a whole special about
00:16:19
something I'm baffled yeah I can't I
00:16:22
can't even come up with jokes about just
00:16:24
when you have the whole playing field
00:16:26
you can do a joke about anything in the
00:16:28
world and then when they go I'm gonna do
00:16:30
them about just about my divorce the
00:16:32
whole thing and you go the whole thing
00:16:33
holy [ __ ] and I still can't my whole my
00:16:36
all my hours are like a bit about this
00:16:38
bit about that bit I mean it's never
00:16:40
like here's the cohesive yeah so we
00:16:44
still we ended up shooting it on spec
00:16:47
and we still sent it to Comedy Central I
00:16:50
love it because they only seen like a
00:16:51
version of it at a club and I go right
00:16:53
here's the finished product and they
00:16:55
said no again
00:16:58
[Music]
00:17:00
wow so how does Tom Segura because I
00:17:03
like to I like to use the name in that
00:17:05
context how do you deal with that kind
00:17:07
of rejection are you bummed out for a
00:17:09
week or because I auditioned for SNL
00:17:10
once and I was I followed Kennison at
00:17:14
the store and it was a death trap and a
00:17:17
death set and I was kind of I wouldn't
00:17:19
say clinically depressed I would I
00:17:21
wouldn't label myself as depressed but I
00:17:23
was really it was so good I was bummed
00:17:26
out for a couple months just that that's
00:17:29
that's that so when you hear no that
00:17:31
toot now it's two times in a row are you
00:17:34
pretty resilient obviously you wouldn't
00:17:36
be here
00:17:38
um do you take a knee for a day I mean
00:17:40
you have a couple beers I mean what do
00:17:41
you what do you how do you process it
00:17:42
all all show those [ __ ] might
00:17:46
be a good way to go I'm definitely
00:17:48
bummed I'm definitely you know in the
00:17:51
moment a little bitter I'm definitely
00:17:53
like this is such
00:17:54
[ __ ] [ __ ] I'm looking at the um
00:17:57
the ones that they did choose and I'm
00:18:00
like you you took this piece of [ __ ] oh
00:18:02
yeah there you go you look like De Niro
00:18:05
for a second you took this piece of [ __ ]
00:18:07
[ __ ] piece of [ __ ]
00:18:09
um that's your hilarious theme act you
00:18:12
love so much also like what's the theme
00:18:14
of this [ __ ] dog [ __ ] yeah oh the
00:18:17
theme is dog [ __ ] okay
00:18:20
and then I actually got you know it's
00:18:22
I've I've said it before but like the
00:18:25
same call where I get the no the the
00:18:28
news that they're passing
00:18:31
I'm just on the phone I pulled over I
00:18:33
was like out in La Cienega and I pulled
00:18:35
over and I was like
00:18:36
okay I'm just listening he goes and then
00:18:39
he goes by the way uh we sent it to HBO
00:18:42
and I go seriously and he goes yeah they
00:18:44
said no too and I'm like okay why would
00:18:47
you even tell me this I I and then he's
00:18:49
like uh send it to show time
00:18:52
they said no no across the floor I'm
00:18:54
like cool and then he goes but
00:18:57
um Netflix
00:18:58
and it's and in 2013 it's like it's it's
00:19:02
a thing but it's not like that place to
00:19:04
be yeah yeah House of Cards had was
00:19:07
around that time or just maybe maybe
00:19:09
because that that was a big sea change
00:19:11
how's the carbs they're doing Kevin
00:19:14
Spacey's going on Netflix you were right
00:19:16
at the edge of it right yeah I think
00:19:18
it's close but I don't think it's out
00:19:19
yet and then he's like no like they're
00:19:21
getting a lot of subscribers now and I'm
00:19:23
like great
00:19:25
that's how the phone call ends I go all
00:19:27
right well thanks and I'm just kind of
00:19:28
bummed out but I go what can I do and
00:19:31
what I can do is literally go back to
00:19:33
work so I just like go back on the road
00:19:36
and I just act like I guess I gotta just
00:19:39
come up with a new hour and try this
00:19:40
again I don't know that is probably six
00:19:44
months before but wait you but you got
00:19:47
the the news that Netflix wanted your
00:19:49
horrible hour yeah and uh they go
00:19:52
they're into bad comedy right now this
00:19:53
is our window yeah but you don't give it
00:19:57
to him no I do oh you do okay let's go
00:19:59
like fine it'll come out you know later
00:20:03
like whatever and I just completely just
00:20:05
move on you did the opposite you didn't
00:20:07
Bank everything on it you just said [ __ ]
00:20:09
it good throw it out it's gonna die on
00:20:11
Netflix whatever it's called I thought
00:20:14
it would definitely do less for me than
00:20:16
the presents yeah yeah right and then I
00:20:19
just it came out and I remember when it
00:20:21
came out like
00:20:22
you know like again you see some tweets
00:20:25
and like people a couple people said
00:20:28
that you're like I stopped me hey I saw
00:20:30
I was like great and um great [ __ ] you I
00:20:33
didn't think anything of it and then
00:20:35
like
00:20:36
three months later I remember I did a uh
00:20:40
I did the Cleveland improv and uh the
00:20:43
guy the manager comes up to me at the
00:20:45
end of the week he goes I don't know why
00:20:49
the [ __ ] this happened
00:20:51
but you sold some tickets this weekend
00:20:52
wow that gave me that that gave me the
00:20:55
chills though I mean the fact that
00:20:56
you're suddenly valuable in some way
00:20:58
that's a rush that's a lifelong goal
00:21:00
that you're like wait that sentence Oh
00:21:03
yeah you're selling a [ __ ] ton of
00:21:04
tickets when that starts to happen it's
00:21:06
like and here's the thing here's how
00:21:08
[ __ ] removed from the correlation of
00:21:11
the two I I was like wait why he's like
00:21:14
no I don't know why
00:21:16
and he's shocked that's how he doesn't
00:21:19
think you're that good or just
00:21:21
it's done man he like sends me the
00:21:23
breakdown he's like look at this [ __ ]
00:21:25
and I'm like what is that he goes well
00:21:27
you hit some bonuses but he goes I don't
00:21:29
know man and then he just like walked
00:21:31
away and I just thought well that was a
00:21:34
good weekend and I still wasn't like oh
00:21:36
the special's working you know uh and
00:21:39
then the next few months it started to
00:21:41
happen more and more and more and then
00:21:43
it became a thing where it was like Hey
00:21:45
you sold out this weekend like the whole
00:21:47
weekend sold out that was probably after
00:21:49
like six months
00:21:50
wow it took that long to seep right yes
00:21:53
yes wow and that was the one called
00:21:56
completely normal 2014. yeah we shot it
00:21:59
in 13 it came out 14 and then by 15 I
00:22:01
was just doing uh well by the end of 14
00:22:04
I was selling out clubs and then in 15 I
00:22:06
was doing like rock clubs and you know
00:22:08
like one-nighters and like small
00:22:10
theaters or just like I could like add I
00:22:13
could go to like a club on a Monday and
00:22:14
just they'd give me the door and I would
00:22:16
just you know I started to work like
00:22:17
that like casinos too right man casinos
00:22:20
are where it's at yeah casinos pay more
00:22:23
but sometimes the audience can be a
00:22:25
little a little tough this is a crazy
00:22:28
inside baseball thing but there are
00:22:30
casinos and this is really crazy when
00:22:32
you actually just do the finance like
00:22:34
the the numbers on this there are a
00:22:36
number of casinos that will pay well
00:22:39
over the gross of the show and when you
00:22:42
think of that you're like wait what the
00:22:44
show is grossing x amount and they're
00:22:46
going to pay you over that and then you
00:22:48
realize well there's a there's a cow
00:22:50
calculation that they do they're like if
00:22:52
this many people come to the casino
00:22:55
we don't even care that we're parting
00:22:57
with this because these people are going
00:22:59
to get rooms gamble drink eat and you're
00:23:02
like the way that it becomes a little
00:23:04
like ecosystem sure yes of an economy on
00:23:08
on in a night is it's really fascinating
00:23:10
playing the Desert Inn in Vegas which
00:23:12
was an incredible room now it's the win
00:23:13
it was blowing up 600 seats low ceiling
00:23:16
I go down for the sound check and they
00:23:18
got a Goomba type manager there and I go
00:23:20
how do you take the sale how are the
00:23:22
ticket sales and this is a quote Mark
00:23:24
Pitta was there my opener he goes what
00:23:26
do I give a [ __ ] I got Indonesians
00:23:28
dropping 10 Lodge upstairs tonight
00:23:32
yeah that's all it is Indonesians
00:23:36
dropping 10 large but yeah and they do
00:23:38
the analytics they told me they'll see
00:23:40
what Carrot Top numbers are or like how
00:23:43
much money is dropped in the casino that
00:23:45
on your night yeah on your does your
00:23:48
audience go out and then does your
00:23:49
audience drink does your audience does
00:23:51
your audience get drunk and leverage
00:23:53
their house do our high rollers ask for
00:23:56
your tickets because you can see the
00:23:58
front row and a lot of times when you do
00:24:00
Vegas or in these places casinos the
00:24:03
front row is sparse or it's choppy
00:24:05
because people go give me tickets to
00:24:07
everything I'm a high roller and I go
00:24:09
you got two tickets up front if you want
00:24:11
them you got this this and you know they
00:24:13
walk in like Meghan Markle in the middle
00:24:14
of your set if they want but sometimes
00:24:16
they go nah we you know I think what the
00:24:19
calculation is they just need to get
00:24:21
them and the showroom is always in the
00:24:23
very farthest corner of the casino so
00:24:25
they have to walk by and they calculate
00:24:27
they probably spend 22 on slots on the
00:24:31
way out of boredom they walk by our
00:24:33
restaurants they probably eat at one now
00:24:35
they're aware of our casino because Tom
00:24:37
Segura isn't they've never come here but
00:24:40
because we're mixing up our ax they go
00:24:42
oh I'll go see him and then they go oh
00:24:44
I've never been to this casino I'll come
00:24:46
back
00:24:47
so they they got to get them in somehow
00:24:49
they don't want you to do your act yeah
00:24:50
get them in touch base and go back out I
00:24:54
just had this happen at a casino this is
00:24:56
wild I'm backstage and it's a big room
00:24:59
it's a 6 000 seat room so wow basically
00:25:02
uh it's a what they consider a half
00:25:05
Arena right yeah okay that type of shell
00:25:08
design yeah yeah big room and there's um
00:25:11
and in those types of rooms the way that
00:25:13
it's laid out it's kind of hard you
00:25:15
can't really peek out they have huge you
00:25:17
know scaffolding and curtains everywhere
00:25:20
but I hear Kirk Fox who's on stage and I
00:25:24
hear him at one point go hey man he goes
00:25:26
hey hey man you you got to calm down
00:25:29
okay and it's not like I'm like this is
00:25:32
definitely some [ __ ] if Kirk is saying
00:25:35
that he's pretty chill great yeah he's
00:25:37
pretty chill and he's like it's he's so
00:25:38
funny and um so I I it makes my ear you
00:25:42
know it catches my ear so I turn and I'm
00:25:44
like what's going on
00:25:45
so I I try to see but I can't really see
00:25:48
I just see Kirk up there on the stage
00:25:49
and then you know a few minutes pass and
00:25:53
he goes hey hey man hey dude I'm telling
00:25:55
you I know I want you to stay but you
00:25:59
gotta calm down
00:26:01
and so then I'm back I'm backstage and I
00:26:03
got like at these you know at these big
00:26:05
casinos there's like 200 security staff
00:26:09
like it's a lot of security right
00:26:11
so I they start coming around I hear
00:26:13
they're all on their walkies and their
00:26:14
earpieces and they're so I'm like what
00:26:16
is happening and they're like well
00:26:18
there's there's this guy in the front
00:26:19
row and I'm like what's gonna happen
00:26:22
what are we gonna what's gonna what are
00:26:23
you gonna do yeah and they go well we
00:26:26
think it's going to be too disruptive to
00:26:29
remove him during Kirk's set so what
00:26:32
we're going to do is because he's like
00:26:34
getting through it he's almost done
00:26:36
when he gets off stage and you're gonna
00:26:39
about to go on stage that's when we'll
00:26:41
remove him and I go hey man it's it's
00:26:43
your like your security do whatever you
00:26:46
want I just I just want to know what's
00:26:47
going on and that they're like that's
00:26:50
what we're gonna do I go okay great Kirk
00:26:52
finishes his says good night he walks
00:26:54
off stage they start playing a song and
00:26:57
that's like my cue that I have like 10
00:26:58
seconds and then I walk on stage so I
00:27:01
walk on stage and as I walk on stage
00:27:05
I grab the mic and I see like eight nine

it's totally fine willing to look the
00:29:50
other way
00:29:51
so how did you I how long did it take
00:29:53
you to feel like you're doing your set
00:29:55
then after he goes out naked and they're
00:29:57
screaming and fighting did you go into
00:29:59
your set or you do like old club stuff
00:30:02
where you kind of do all quasi crowd
00:30:04
work you know the funny thing is it's
00:30:05
always less time than you think like in
00:30:07
your head you're like that was 10
00:30:08
minutes it's really like three but three
00:30:11
minutes of talking about something
00:30:12
that's happening in the room is a long
00:30:14
time and it's not jokes and you're in
00:30:17
Uncharted Territory you don't know if
00:30:18
it's funny and you wanted to start going
00:30:20
anyway dogs are funny and everyone goes
00:30:23
oh we're back in the ACT did you did you
00:30:26
get an angle on it Tom because you're
00:30:27
experienced because a lot of times I
00:30:29
would instant intuitively go from that
00:30:31
guy's point of view let's go to the show
00:30:33
tonight it's gonna be great or or just
00:30:35
find an angle
00:30:37
uh about it you know yeah I I was making
00:30:40
commentary about it I was asking you
00:30:42
know when I I was asking like I would
00:30:44
see big muscular dudes like you know
00:30:46
where were you we needed you like a
00:30:48
moment ago okay there you go anytime
00:30:50
that I would say something in the act
00:30:52
that referenced like somebody who is
00:30:56
um out of their mind yeah drunk or Dr
00:30:59
you know I'd make reference to the guy
00:31:01
he was like he was like a call back
00:31:02
built-in callback is nice I would also
00:31:05
tell the people how I would I would
00:31:08
reference other popular Comedians and
00:31:10
how they would not have gotten that at
00:31:11
one of their shows you know I was like
00:31:13
oh that's your crowd and that every
00:31:15
every night you have some naked guy
00:31:17
fighting security guards it's not a
00:31:19
thing I was like you think you're gonna
00:31:20
get this at a Sebastian show you know
00:31:22
what's good Dana do you ever do this one
00:31:24
where you go these guys that work their
00:31:26
jokes in they go uh
00:31:28

00:31:34
night was from Cleveland and he said and
00:31:36

00:31:44
hear or you could go this guy last night

00:31:48
then you say that for three years yeah
00:31:49
everything's last night or what is the
00:31:51

00:31:53
big reaction like I was I was in you
00:31:56

00:31:57
Town away that that just gets a huge
00:32:00
laugh in Fresno it was uh Merced I think
00:32:04
or you know just you have to be a
00:32:06
reliable person Dana they give you the
00:32:08
wrong one and it bombs yeah just to [ __ ]
00:32:12
with you it's like in a corporate gig
00:32:14
when they go make fun of the crowd and
00:32:15

00:32:22
and beats his wife say something about
00:32:23
that and I go uh well I don't know and
00:32:26
then you say something and everyone's
00:32:27
like what the [ __ ] are you talking about
00:32:28
and the guy's like isn't that hilarious
00:32:30
and you're like no Jim has Ms but he's
00:32:33
got a sense of humor about it he really
00:32:34
laughs about it you're like yeah okay
00:32:36
okay yeah so Jay Leno tell me he was
00:32:41
doing a corporate date and he's just
00:32:42
making fun of some couple you know a lot
00:32:44
of people you know they hook up when
00:32:46
they're on the roads this and that and
00:32:47
then the woman was next to the guy and
00:32:49
she she's got up and screamed and cried
00:32:51
and ran out you know
00:32:53
you don't know what what you're you're
00:32:56
touching Tom when you were doing this
00:32:58
with the Dana I'm sorry I have to go
00:32:59
back you the the one the information you
00:33:03
didn't have which might have helped is
00:33:05
what went on for so long
00:33:08
was he pushing people was he yelling I
00:33:10
got I found out I found out so I when I
00:33:12
when all the [ __ ] finally came I was
00:33:15
like Kirk what was happening he was like
00:33:17
dude he and this is one this is one of
00:33:20
the worst things people think about you
00:33:22
know about heckling and stuff he was
00:33:24
repeating everything that Kirk said back
00:33:28
to Kirk but he's in the front row and
00:33:31
loudly so like you know Kirk would be
00:33:33
like and then you know I rode the bus
00:33:35
he'd be like you rode the bus
00:33:39
he was just like hey man like you just
00:33:42
gotta relax I just had that The Comedy
00:33:44
Store the guy I don't even know if
00:33:46
something was up with him but
00:33:48
he looked like he's in a great time
00:33:50
and he just kept saying my punch line
00:33:52
after to the people around him it's the
00:33:54
worst but everyone hears it and it stops
00:33:57
my next setup and I'm like I go hey man
00:33:59
you know I try to be nice
00:34:01
and when they kicked him out he was the
00:34:03
same thing he's like David Tom wouldn't
00:34:06
help me but would you would you God but
00:34:10
he did say hey man he looks up to me and
00:34:12
that's the weirdest feeling I'm like I
00:34:15
can't I have to let you go now
00:34:19
I had a guy on the balcony scream I got
00:34:23
even know what's going on it's a balcony
00:34:26
it's a melee now theater this is a
00:34:28
different show so
00:34:30
I'm just on stage and he just starts to
00:34:33
yell they're throwing out the wrong guy
00:34:36
right and I'm like what he's like
00:34:39
they're throwing out the wrong guy wow
00:34:44
and I go I don't know it sounds like the
00:34:47
right guy to me like all of it too is
00:34:50
all always related to just boost they're
00:34:52
always just drunk yeah yeah that guy in
00:34:55
the front row was drunk this guy's drunk
00:34:56
yeah it's always alcohol I sometimes
00:34:59
will get because a church lady just
00:35:01
someone in the back about every 10
00:35:03
seconds just going lady
00:35:06
throughout my set
00:35:10
lady so gross yeah that's why we love
00:35:13
stand up when you have a hotties when
00:35:14
they start Dana they start yelling at
00:35:16
each other and it's pure chaos this
00:35:19
guy's like hey shut the [ __ ] up and he
00:35:21
goes [ __ ] you yeah and I go yeah when
00:35:25
the audience is heckling each other this
00:35:27
is [ __ ] amazing or that you look over
00:35:29
and they're standing at the edge of the
00:35:30
stage a drunk guy six foot five is just
00:35:33
standing there he's on the stage with
00:35:34
you now do you hold your ground we ask
00:35:36
of me and you hold your ground I don't I
00:35:38
said you got it go ahead some people if
00:35:40
they have a guitar they'll fight or try
00:35:42
to fight for the stage if someone storms
00:35:45
it I leave but you're pretty you look
00:35:47
pretty like you could handle yourself
00:35:49
physically Tom you probably could fight
00:35:51
a Heckler I don't know it depends on the
00:35:53
if he's six five
00:35:55
um all right make him five ten oh yeah
00:35:57
I'm taking the mic stand and Swinging it
00:35:59
at him for sure yeah let's go man
00:36:04
[Music]
00:36:06
so what I'm curious about to Pivot for a
00:36:08
second if you guys want is that
00:36:10
fairly recently because I've been at
00:36:12
this a long time you just started to
00:36:15
make some money
00:36:16
real money you're stacking money in the
00:36:19
bank you're you get you know it's it's
00:36:21
happening right you're making real money
00:36:22
it's Fort Knox over there and now it's
00:36:25
just only six seven years later and
00:36:27
you're you have at least probably 50
00:36:29
grand net in the bank right now so easy
00:36:33
but anyway you've got an incredibly uh
00:36:36
successful in such a short period of
00:36:38
time outside the systems uh I don't have
00:36:40
a question it's just an observation it's
00:36:43
just an extraordinary story that we hear
00:36:45
about as comedians Tom's doing this Tom
00:36:48
did that Tom did a live stream Tom Tom
00:36:52
that's all I hear about it's it's really
00:36:54
fun and Sebastian and then there's
00:36:57
Sebastian too there's just people yeah I
00:36:58
hear about him well you're doing a lot
00:37:00
of stuff now Tom my question is when you
00:37:02
are doing okay let's say you do sort of
00:37:05
maybe like a formula where we jumped off
00:37:07
you do a special looks like you did one
00:37:10
mostly stories for Netflix so then they
00:37:13
ask you for another one and your first
00:37:14
one obviously seeped in so you go yeah
00:37:17
I'll do another one but now you have to
00:37:19
come up with a new hour I guess that's
00:37:20
hard so you do that and now it's a
00:37:23
system are you starting a podcast around
00:37:25
now or did you have it I started the
00:37:28
podcast
00:37:29
um
00:37:30
three
00:37:32
years
00:37:33
um almost three years before the first
00:37:35
special oh okay so 2010 or okay late
00:37:40
2010 I started the the podcast okay the
00:37:43
cool thing about that was
00:37:45
those definitely started to feed each
00:37:48
other sure even if you know I don't know
00:37:51
I remember at one point I think we had
00:37:53
twenty thousand
00:37:55
listeners on the podcast you know spread
00:37:57
out that's not that many people but if
00:38:00
you're just trying to do like a
00:38:01
one-nighter somewhere and you're like
00:38:02
hey I'm going to Chicago
00:38:04
and you know of those 20 000 people
00:38:06
listening you might have like a thousand
00:38:09
in Chicago and you might be able to get
00:38:12
400 of them to come out that is actually
00:38:15
a big deal at that at that point because
00:38:17
yeah you're selling 400 tickets when
00:38:19
people are like how this how the hell
00:38:21
did you get 400 people to come out
00:38:23
tonight you know they're buying booze it
00:38:26
helps the club oh yeah that that was a
00:38:28
huge game changer then and then when the
00:38:32
special came out and people go hey I
00:38:34
like this guy Rick you know I like your
00:38:36
your special what else do you have and
00:38:39
you know they discovered the podcast you
00:38:40
know some of them like it some of them
00:38:42
don't but you're definitely bringing in
00:38:44
a new audience of people so those have
00:38:48
Contin every special and every year of
00:38:50
the podcast they've continued to grow
00:38:51
and they feed each other they feed each
00:38:53
other and um and now there's just
00:38:55
tremendous amounts of money yeah well
00:38:57
we're rich too I know
00:39:01
no I mean I grew up incredibly middle
00:39:03
class barely David his nickname is
00:39:05
Silver Spoon it was always easy my
00:39:07
parents were both strippers I made money
00:39:10
I got paid in ones
00:39:12
uh I slept on a bed with covered in ones
00:39:15
every night my mom would throw them out
00:39:16
at me and my dad
00:39:18
um Tom uh you will get to this other
00:39:22
stuff too I have a lot of personal
00:39:23
questions I have to ask you off camera
00:39:24
you had a good year Spade don't don't
00:39:26
lie no I'm fine well I did my I did an
00:39:29
HBO special years ago
00:39:31
and that really didn't affect stand-up
00:39:33
because I wasn't doing it much I was on
00:39:34
just shoot me and stuff but I wasn't out
00:39:37
that much you know so I do the Improv in
00:39:38
Irvine or San Diego or something which
00:39:40
is great but I wasn't really making a
00:39:42
lot of money in stand-up and so I didn't
00:39:44
really capitalize off it other than it
00:39:46
made me more known in some way you know
00:39:48
I noticed with Tom on uh the disgraceful
00:39:51
one where the audience gave you a
00:39:53
standing ovation that was the 2018. that
00:39:55
seemed to be another giant leap
00:39:58
yeah that propelled uh the next tour to
00:40:02
each tour has gone like another level I
00:40:04
mean the current tour was it was a is a
00:40:07
was a huge leap from the 2019 tour so I
00:40:10
looked at it I it's kind of unfathomable
00:40:14
yeah yeah all over the world and but you
00:40:18
know I think going for my own head the
00:40:21
the theme idea you know you are the
00:40:23
message you know your likability and
00:40:25
relatability
00:40:26
and you can
00:40:28
it's you can see where the orange go
00:40:30
that that's our guy you know because
00:40:32
you're going into territory where you're
00:40:34
working completely clean and then you'll
00:40:37
also just surprise everybody and go
00:40:40
wherever you want to go and then you'll
00:40:41
you'll make it okay it's it's I I get
00:40:44
your popularity I've spent a day
00:40:45
watching all your stuff so oh thanks I
00:40:48
unders I understand it you are
00:40:50
Politically Incorrect which I think and
00:40:52
and some of your stuff which is a
00:40:55
blessing but you don't lean on it yeah I
00:40:58
think um
00:40:59
I don't know there's this thing I'm sure
00:41:01
it's not anything new but I just always
00:41:03
tried to I remember people saying early
00:41:06
on they're like just
00:41:08
the thing you have to do is say things
00:41:10
that make you laugh like don't go I may
00:41:13
I want I wonder if people will like this
00:41:14
and I'll say it like I try to stick to
00:41:17
like genuinely this point of view makes
00:41:20
me laugh this story makes me laugh if I
00:41:22
think something is uh I'm talking about
00:41:24
like a a a societal Norm is worth worthy
00:41:28
of mockery than like oh I go for I go
00:41:30
I'm gonna I think I I feel like mocking
00:41:32
this so then I I just do that but I'm
00:41:34
not doing it because I hope this
00:41:37
audience likes it and this one won't I
00:41:39
just I try to stay honest to what makes
00:41:41
me laugh and also when you walk out
00:41:43
there and your whole physical demeanor
00:41:45
and you're you're so relaxed I mean even
00:41:48
Next Level and so comfortable it's a
00:41:51
living room so if something doesn't land
00:41:53
you kind of smile like drowning the dog
00:41:55
you know it's not about you'd have to
00:41:58
for people who are listening right now
00:41:59
it's a long story about loving his kid
00:42:01
more than an animal but and then the way
00:42:04
you you just went places people don't
00:42:06
expect and so that's the antithesis a
00:42:08
boredom you you don't know what Tom
00:42:11
sugar is going to do and you can't see
00:42:12
it coming you don't want an act where
00:42:14
you can see it coming and you go and
00:42:15
then he's going to say this and then
00:42:17
that but that is a hard thing to do but
00:42:21
it doesn't like Dan was saying you're
00:42:23
out of the box a bit so you're sort of
00:42:27
underground but famous and then uh and
00:42:30
you make a ton of money more than most
00:42:31
people that people are know of that are
00:42:34
you know household names and you've done
00:42:36
it on your own on your own terms and
00:42:38
also I don't think you
00:42:40
are as worried about getting canceled
00:42:42
because what are they canceling you from
00:42:43
you're Your Own Boss your own podcast
00:42:46
what am I going to get not hired to do
00:42:49
yeah your your own show you have 54
00:42:53
podcasts you have Dana you know his tour
00:42:55
is called I'm coming everywhere it's
00:42:57
funny funniest name
00:42:59
um uh I heard you talking about that and
00:43:02
I heard you talking about taking a
00:43:03
private jet which which is hard to talk
00:43:06
about of course but it is fun to talk
00:43:08
about because
00:43:09
you're right that in some of those
00:43:11
instances there's almost no way to get
00:43:13
to where you got to go without I mean
00:43:15
there here's what I actually explained
00:43:18
on a couple of podcasts was the fact
00:43:19
that if you're touring as insanely as
00:43:22
I'm talking about the logistically yeah
00:43:25
I go I don't have to Charter a plane but
00:43:29
I go I what I would have to do is reduce
00:43:32
this tour like there's there's there
00:43:33
would be no way to go I'm doing
00:43:36
Ottawa and then Spokane and then Eugene
00:43:39
and then Boise I go well you just can't
00:43:42
do that if you're flying commercially so
00:43:45
we would just change the tour sure I
00:43:47
mean it's what you want to do and if you
00:43:49
can Factor it in and you're making up
00:43:51
it's fine it's really just oh a numbers
00:43:53
game and if you on my tour I don't do it
00:43:57
as uh hitting the pavement as hard as
00:44:00
you but when I do it and I have three
00:44:02
nights in a row usually
00:44:04
if there's a connection involved it's
00:44:06
already red flag because that's a red
00:44:08
flag with no one coming to work lately
00:44:10
covid canceled flights you're like I and
00:44:13
I don't like going the day before every
00:44:15
show because that's such a production
00:44:17
then you're there all night then all day
00:44:19
again so decisions have to be made but
00:44:22
it's obviously private jets perk
00:44:25
people's ears because it's one of those
00:44:27
things that even if you're rich it's out
00:44:30
of your league like it's such it's such
00:44:33
an excess it's such an Indulgence it is
00:44:36
time travel like the the thing that's
00:44:37
crazy about it is you go I can't believe
00:44:40
the show ended and now we're in the next
00:44:42
city and it's only been two hours like
00:44:44
if it feels like you teleported the
00:44:46
thing about it is you go you know like I
00:44:49
you don't have to do it it does make a
00:44:51
tour like this possible
00:44:53
I will say this you know we don't do it
00:44:55
like every leg of this tour every flight
00:44:58
or anything the times on this tour that
00:45:01
we've done uh commercial travel
00:45:03
90 of them have come with an issue
00:45:08
meaning like delays cancellations it has
00:45:12
so every time we do it we're like oh my
00:45:14
God it like we're so much more
00:45:16
appreciative of when we have been able
00:45:18
to charge because it has it has screwed
00:45:20
up almost every leg of the of travel
00:45:22
that we've done with it you know oh yeah
00:45:24
you got to come in early then because
00:45:26
you can't trust uh commercial yeah and
00:45:29
so you have a job to do I I heard that
00:45:32
early on when Louis CK first did a
00:45:35
citation 10 like okay I gotta do this
00:45:37
and so we do three dates so the first
00:45:40
date would just pay for the jet yeah and
00:45:42
then do the next two dates that's how
00:45:44
different it is and in terms of your
00:45:47
health and wellness when you're touring
00:45:48
like you are like more than 200 dates a
00:45:50
year the multiple flights in the hotel
00:45:53
you can beat the [ __ ] out of yourself
00:45:54
like it's not it does I mean we do that
00:45:57
travel which obviously like makes it
00:45:59
nicer I bring a trainer with me dude I
00:46:02
bring a trainer with me because it's
00:46:04
trying to just keep your mental and
00:46:07
physical health going yeah it's [ __ ]
00:46:10
so demanding it's it's just not it's it
00:46:13
shouldn't be uh allowable if you have
00:46:16
the means to have a trainer and eat well
00:46:18
and actually do the tour and end up not
00:46:20
hurting your health you know it's people
00:46:22
kind of ignore that but why am I doing
00:46:25
this if I'm going to end up coming back
00:46:26
home and have gained all this weight and
00:46:29
have migraines or whatever so I'm glad
00:46:31
to hear that you're pacing it that way
00:46:33
and I've done that you know like in my
00:46:34
earlier years my touring which was at
00:46:37
not at this level was me gaining 30
00:46:40
pounds in a year and feeling like [ __ ]
00:46:43
all the time because you're eating at
00:46:45
every airport and eating and you know
00:46:47
and if you can control it plus you know
00:46:49
the bottom line is for me I'm sure you
00:46:51
guys too you owe the audience a good
00:46:53
show and you need to be present it's
00:46:55
harder than it seems to sit there and do
00:46:58
your hour or over an hour whatever and
00:47:00
go it's like a play you have to remember
00:47:02
all the connective tissue and all
00:47:03
everything and it has to flow
00:47:06
and if you're out of it a little bit
00:47:07
sometimes you're missing beats and just
00:47:10
off Rhythm and uh they pay the price so
00:47:13
they're paying a lot they're coming out
00:47:15
they're getting babysitters you're like
00:47:17
[ __ ] I gotta get there on time I got to
00:47:18
be ready I gotta look okay and I think
00:47:21
everyone feels that so whatever it takes
00:47:23
yeah you gotta try it you gotta try man
00:47:25
and I I always like you know um I don't
00:47:27
know if you ever do this but like you're
00:47:28
backstage and maybe you're you know
00:47:31
you're worn out you're just dragging
00:47:32
you're like man it's a [ __ ] seventh
00:47:34
show this week and yeah fourth city and
00:47:37
I'm like God damn it and and I'll be on
00:47:40
my phone and I'll pull up and this is
00:47:42
like I guess the the upside to to seeing
00:47:45
a social media thing I'll see things I'm
00:47:47
tagged in and you see people in the
00:47:49
audience yeah yeah and then I see that
00:47:52
and I'm like oh man they're like so
00:47:53
pumped to be here and it completely
00:47:56
changes my my like my mental state
00:47:59
before I go I'm like you know what these
00:48:00
people are excited I need to get excited
00:48:02
I need to like wake up and appreciate
00:48:05
the fact that there is people here and
00:48:06
like try to have a good show but it's
00:48:08
easy to fall into the other side you
00:48:10
know yeah I think I call it the forget
00:48:12
to have fun yeah problem and if you
00:48:14
forget to have fun and you're out there
00:48:16
and you're not it's not it's not feeling
00:48:18
right and you go I forgot to have fun do
00:48:20
you have a trick do you have a like I I
00:48:22
used to like I I always say that um the
00:48:25
best version of myself as a comedian and
00:48:28
this is a very simple way of describing
00:48:30
it but I think it's that when I walk on
00:48:32
stage in a silly mood like me feeling
00:48:36
silly is the best version of Stand Up
00:48:39
that I can be but what I forget
00:48:42
sometimes is to remind myself of that
00:48:44
and to like to to and I'll and I'll I'll
00:48:47
sometimes I'll see an image and for me
00:48:49
and my own memories it's for some reason
00:48:51
it's Seeing Eddie Murphy
00:48:54
um in his early days like like in
00:48:56
delirious and stuff because I feel like
00:48:58
that's a fun silly guy so like if I see
00:49:00
that image I'll be like oh that guy's
00:49:02
like having fun he's out he's he's
00:49:04
having a good time please play full yes
00:49:06
so I always wonder like what other
00:49:09
people do to switch into a different
00:49:11
headspace do you ever do anything to
00:49:13
like switch your headspace well the
00:49:15
minute I come out I probably I probably
00:49:18
make a fool of myself but I put on
00:49:19
Suspicious Minds normally by Elvis
00:49:21
Presley and that switch it seems so
00:49:24
absurd and doesn't make any sense and
00:49:26
I'm coming out to that I try to get into
00:49:28
the absurdity of what I'm doing up there
00:49:30
but um the first laugh kind of gets me
00:49:33
going you know but I've got in the olden
00:49:35
days when you're first doing standard
00:49:37
you're going God I don't I don't feel
00:49:39
funny today I don't feel very funny
00:49:40
you're very superstitious and later on
00:49:42
you go you can be sick you don't feel
00:49:43
funny at all you're just and then have
00:49:45
your best show so you get used to it but
00:49:48
yeah Dan and I have a few questions
00:49:49
about your podcast you have uh uh your
00:49:52
mom's house correct you have uh that's
00:49:55
your lovely wife with your lovely wife
00:49:57
yes Christina p and who I know and she's
00:50:00
great she was on lights out
00:50:01
um also you have
00:50:04
one with that guy who's that big guy
00:50:08
oh real heavy guy flirt
00:50:12
fly sir it was fun and you met him years
00:50:16
ago and just I mean was that you already
00:50:18
had your first podcast was that going
00:50:21
into doing a second one yes you know the
00:50:23
the funny thing was we talked about it
00:50:24
and
00:50:26
we threw it together and I thought we
00:50:28
were we we came up with the idea to do
00:50:31
it twice a month this was like I was
00:50:33
like why don't we do this twice a month
00:50:34
just for fun sure and um
00:50:38
you know within a couple months the
00:50:41
feedback was like people were so into it
00:50:44
they were like all right we gotta do it
00:50:45
every week and now we we do it every
00:50:47
week he has to fly here I've flown to LA
00:50:50
to do it we if we don't if we can't get
00:50:52
together we each one of us will sit with
00:50:54
a guest
00:50:56
to do it but it's become a huge huge
00:50:58
podcast and like
00:51:00
you know companies approach us and want
00:51:03
us to be like their partners and things
00:51:05
and it's just it's literally just the
00:51:07
two of us just shooting the [ __ ] yeah
00:51:09
mostly him just rambling incoherently
00:51:13
about his nonsense
00:51:15
well it's a good team I mean when he had
00:51:18
sober October we were I saw that episode
00:51:21
and you know it was just it it it it I
00:51:25
think long term and things are funny
00:51:26
it's great but then also you're kind of
00:51:29
feeling a real thing happening between
00:51:30
two friends like and he's we're good
00:51:32
good friends I mean I got him you know
00:51:34
we've been getting each other crazy
00:51:36
birthday gifts for years now I just got
00:51:38
him uh Hitler's uh teacup and um I got
00:51:41
him a bust made of himself and and like
00:51:43
uh you know we always I saw one of those
00:51:45
in uh Sky Mall they have yeah there's a
00:51:48
lot of Hitler stuff the best one I had
00:51:49
to go through a white supremacist it was
00:51:51
a lot of work can I ask you about the
00:51:53
video aspect so you did you always do it
00:51:55
on video on YouTube or did you ever do
00:51:57
just an audio podcast Audio Only For the
00:52:00
First let's see 2010 11 12. wow 13.
00:52:07
um and then we
00:52:09
started to do video just like we would
00:52:12
put up like 10 or 15 minutes I don't
00:52:14
know what what that was we did that in
00:52:15
like
00:52:16
2014. we were like oh here's 15 minutes
00:52:19
of this yeah from the show and then we
00:52:22
finally were like we need to we we set
00:52:24
up sticks and we got
00:52:25
uh that going and that eventually became
00:52:29
a huge game changer having it on I mean
00:52:32
you know having on YouTube is like a
00:52:35
huge huge huge did you get the same
00:52:37
amount of audio listens and then you got
00:52:40
the additional or was it even more audio
00:52:42
listens it's evolved in different ways
00:52:44
so like audio was obviously the only
00:52:47
thing and then you throw in video you
00:52:48
start getting views but the audio is
00:52:50
much bigger and it was also still from
00:52:53
an advertising perspective they're like
00:52:55
audio downloads are all that matters
00:52:56
when the video views started to go above
00:53:00
a certain amount
00:53:02
um is when people were like okay we
00:53:04
can't like we can't ignore the fact that
00:53:07
there are
00:53:08
hundreds of thousands of views on this
00:53:10
thing it's like a TV show they're like
00:53:12
it's worth advertising on is what is
00:53:14
what it came down to and then you know
00:53:16
you had to convince some of the people
00:53:18
were like well that's just the same
00:53:20
people and you're like what do you talk
00:53:22
you think people are listening to
00:53:24
episode and then going and watching a
00:53:26
two-hour thing like what are you talking
00:53:27
about and that you know they also would
00:53:29
make the argument well we don't know how
00:53:31
many like you know if you if you listen
00:53:33
to a song on YouTube if you watch the
00:53:35
video of a song you might watch it six
00:53:37
times they're like what if people are
00:53:39
doing that on your podcast and you're
00:53:41
like you think they're re-watching two
00:53:44
and a half hour podcast so I had I would
00:53:47
get in the shouting matches with
00:53:49
advertising people about this like
00:53:51
actual shouting matches and you do it
00:53:53
you I was [ __ ] yelling at these
00:53:56
people yeah and then like the year
00:53:59
[ __ ] changes and they go oh hey by
00:54:01
the way we wanted to inquire about
00:54:03
advertising on the uh video portion I'm
00:54:05
like yeah you mean the thing I've been
00:54:07
talking to you about for two years years
00:54:09
and so that then became a thing that um
00:54:13
is highly valuable and you know you you
00:54:15
just obviously you watch the bigger
00:54:18
thing like you know you see like a Rogan
00:54:20
Show when he was on
00:54:22
uh on YouTube you're like look man
00:54:24
there's 10 million people watching this
00:54:25
you don't think that's worthy like those
00:54:28
that's all those eyeballs man and yeah
00:54:31
um I think now if you start a podcast
00:54:32
you know and the clips go out Clips is a
00:54:35
big thing Clips is a huge thing a lot of
00:54:38
times you know if you if you think about
00:54:40
it your fan base is going to consume the
00:54:43
whole thing
00:54:44
the talking about the full it's like
00:54:46
scope of people most of them want to see
00:54:49
a bite-sized thing like in our world
00:54:52
here the uh you know we've had a number
00:54:57
of Clips go viral but they're all
00:54:58
they're the clips these like moments
00:55:01
that that blow up and but it would not
00:55:04
have happened without video it you know
00:55:05
video is what took it over hmm yeah and
00:55:08
then you go into your uh
00:55:10
once I contacted you about when I heard
00:55:13
that you were doing live shows such an
00:55:15
interesting idea and it was a huge
00:55:17
success and that was a pandemic was
00:55:20
smart move and that was another game
00:55:23
changer right kind of saved my ass dude
00:55:25
like I mean you know my main thing I
00:55:28
mean obviously the podcast is a fixed
00:55:30
thing and you go okay we have ads and
00:55:32
and roughly will make this much yeah and
00:55:35
everything associated with it but you're
00:55:36
like you know I'm a touring comedian and
00:55:38
then when when the pandemic hit and
00:55:40
you're like oh wait there's there's none
00:55:42
of this like this is completely done
00:55:44
that was like well how do we do and it
00:55:46
was an experiment my agent
00:55:49
um my touring agent was like you should
00:55:51
try this he just I go well we have to
00:55:53
figure out
00:55:55
um an angle so we we tried it and we're
00:55:57
like all right we'll do ten dollar
00:55:58
tickets like it's a it's a reasonable
00:56:00
price and we'll show things that you
00:56:02
can't show on YouTube and we'll shoot
00:56:04
some sketches so we add some value to
00:56:06
the show why like that's the hard part
00:56:08
the value yeah but then you go for ten
00:56:11
dollars if if you do three or four
00:56:13
sketches and you show some stuff you
00:56:16
can't see it anywhere else and you you
00:56:17
know you and you bring in a guest and we
00:56:19
had a musical guest you're like all
00:56:20
right this is like it is a thing yeah if
00:56:23
this was a 10 ticket to walk into a
00:56:25
venue you'd be like yeah that's that's
00:56:27
worth it and that thing went [ __ ]
00:56:31
bananas and so once we saw that
00:56:35
I told the um because you know agents
00:56:37
are always like
00:56:39
let's make it twenty dollars I was like
00:56:41
no yeah well I go we keep it ten dollar
00:56:44
tickets and we just try to move to let's
00:56:46
just try to do volume and we we started
00:56:49
to do them like every six or eight weeks
00:56:51
or something
00:56:52
and um spending over a hundred grand
00:56:55
producing the episode so it's not like
00:56:58
it's not just like oh hey here's my
00:57:01
friend yeah we we actually put money
00:57:03
into making it a special event and and
00:57:07
into production
00:57:11
[Music]
00:57:12
just for a second Tom because I'm
00:57:15
curious about details
00:57:17
what where was that you have two Studios
00:57:19
where were you interviewing Tarantino
00:57:21
because I love that interview which is
00:57:23
was just recently on Quentin Tarantino
00:57:25
is that your studio right there okay did
00:57:28
you get to the part where he roasted me
00:57:30
for not reading his book no I didn't
00:57:33
like that I was impressed with your
00:57:35
knowledge of Pulp Fiction I mean there
00:57:37
was a lot of Pulp Fiction I really was
00:57:39
like
00:57:40
I I was asking all the questions I want
00:57:42
to ask Quentin Tarantino yeah and he's
00:57:44
there going like I want to talk about
00:57:46
this [ __ ] book yeah and then at the
00:57:49
end he's like hey uh what page are you
00:57:52
on I was like oh no and he's kind of
00:57:55
he's kind of intimidating oh yeah yeah
00:57:57
and I was like so you're on page three
00:57:59
is that what I'm getting out of this and
00:58:01
I was like uh if that ah Dana remember
00:58:05
we did uh because we're talking about
00:58:07
SNL this whole time we we did Quentin
00:58:10
Tarantino's Welcome Back Cotter uh that
00:58:13
sketch and it was uh I got to play horse
00:58:16
Shack oh oh Mr Carter
00:58:20
and uh and then it was I guess John
00:58:23
Travolta was a host so he he came in
00:58:25
yeah he came in and and they shot up
00:58:29
everyone it was like a bloody sketch
00:58:31
that got really bad really quick but I
00:58:33
don't think Quentin was on the show I
00:58:34
think it was only because it was John

Travolta he was he was hanging out he
00:58:37
said yeah okay he really has that like
00:58:41
Savant level knowledge of Cinema to the
00:58:44
point where you're like
00:58:46

00:59:16
doing things and he's making them better

01:01:43
piece is like just sad that is funny to
01:01:46
me that um I mean everybody has like
01:01:48
their
01:01:49
most known bit and for for sure for me
01:01:53
um it is bikes yeah Scared Straight yeah
01:01:56
little kids going to prison and getting
01:01:58
brow beat by every day every day of my
01:02:01
life
01:02:02
Scared Straight do you actually do stand
01:02:05
up in Spanish yes I was supposed to do a
01:02:08
special in Spanish and then I I started
01:02:10
touring in Spanish where I go I because
01:02:13
they're like do a special I was like
01:02:15
well I gotta
01:02:16
like work it out man wow a hard hard if
01:02:20
we're doing it in English and I do the
01:02:21
show 200 times I gotta at least do 50
01:02:24
you know in Spanish and I I probably did
01:02:29
six weekends in Spanish I did you know a
01:02:32
text this weekend I did like Houston
01:02:33
Dallas San Antonio I did uh Tempe I did
01:02:37
San Jose
01:02:39
um and then
01:02:41
the pandemic kind of just changed
01:02:43
everything because that was when I was
01:02:45
like gearing up for it and then by the
01:02:47
time that resolved itself it was like
01:02:49
the English tour was coming back and it
01:02:51
was just it was too much to try to do
01:02:53
both well let me ask you a question if
01:02:55
the English language has certain rhythms
01:02:56
that comedians use you know so she blew
01:02:59
me or whatever
01:03:00
do you have to adjust when you're doing
01:03:03
the the The rhythms of Spanish I
01:03:05
actually remember I went I did this uh
01:03:07
show with uh Richard via this is a a
01:03:10
very funny comedian who's uh bilingual
01:03:13
Mexican-American and he was like dude
01:03:15
he's like you realize you're doing
01:03:17
exactly
01:03:18
Tom Segura that we know in English he's
01:03:22
like you don't have to change anything
01:03:23
you're delivering exactly as you do in
01:03:25
Spanish and he was like so you don't
01:03:27
have to like mess with anything instead
01:03:29
she she's a hot chick she's uh Caliente
01:03:32
or you're he
01:03:34
but Caliente is hot right oh you're
01:03:37
talking about if I'm saying it saying it
01:03:39
in Spanish the syllables are more and
01:03:42
does that affect the Rhythm but I'm
01:03:43
saying the delivery you can keep your
01:03:45
delivery authentic yeah got it because
01:03:48
you hear singers culture you learn which
01:03:50
is like
01:03:51
some some like they uh they like
01:03:54
innuendo and they really like uh like a
01:03:57
wink and a nod some some cultures do um
01:04:00
which I was like I don't want to do that
01:04:02
and they're like watch and you just see
01:04:04
how they how much they love the double
01:04:06
meaning the Dublin and
01:04:09
um that stuff but I just didn't make it
01:04:11
part of my ACT I saw that like some some
01:04:13
audiences really like that but I was
01:04:15
like I'm not gonna I'm not going to
01:04:16
embrace doing a different style so
01:04:19
you're a brain within because I'm not
01:04:21
bilingual you have your brain and you
01:04:23
have your bit in your head and you just
01:04:25
adjust it and then you're just doing it
01:04:27
all in Spanish yeah you start figuring
01:04:29
out at first your brain goes translate
01:04:31
this exactly and that actually leads you
01:04:34
into a place where you have gaps and
01:04:37
there's things not getting laughs okay
01:04:39
then what you have to do is start
01:04:41
you have to slow down and just start
01:04:42
talking
01:04:43
and stop trying to translate exactly
01:04:46
yeah and that's when it starts to work
01:04:48
more and then you actually start writing
01:04:51
in Spanish and that's when it goes the
01:04:53
best is because you're not actually
01:04:55
trying to make this thing work over here
01:04:57
that worked over there you're just
01:04:58
creating for that okay so that makes
01:05:01
sense to me there's a it's a beautiful
01:05:03
language I'm constantly trying to speak
01:05:04
Spanish it's very hard to people who
01:05:06
work it was a lot of it was so much more
01:05:09
work than I imagined and I would say
01:05:12
that the other the kind of cool thing is
01:05:14
that I had not been that nervous to do
01:05:16
stand up in over a decade in other words
01:05:18
I get you know in English sure I get
01:05:21
butterflies you're you're like uh you
01:05:23
know you're about to go on stage and you
01:05:25
might have some nerve but the way that I
01:05:28
would feel before I went on stage for
01:05:31
these Spanish shows was like year two of
01:05:34
stand up so that was exciting because I
01:05:37
was in a full Panic of like I might [ __ ]
01:05:40
this up I might bomb I might not like
01:05:42
that was kind of exciting I was like man
01:05:44
I never feel like this in English
01:05:45
anymore did the audience the audience
01:05:48
knows you're you're doing that it it's
01:05:50
so called your second language your
01:05:51
other language where they just did they
01:05:53
did you get a standing ovation just for
01:05:55
the sheer effort of it sometimes yes
01:05:57
yeah they would be and you'd see a lot
01:05:59
of like fans of mine who are bilingual
01:06:02
like they're the children of immigrants
01:06:04
and so they're they're fans of me in
01:06:05
English they hear I'm doing the Spanish
01:06:07
so and they're bringing their parents ah
01:06:10
because they understand yeah that would
01:06:12
be happening too that was kind of cool
01:06:13
that was kind of cool that's awesome
01:06:15
well um thank you well that uh that's
01:06:18
