please thank you sir did you call your shot with the mandalorian did they come
to you did you
are you were you in that movie to uh tv series on uh disney disney disney i
thought it was a movie
um well if you like spaghetti westerns you ought to check that shit out because
john favreau oh
my god he fucking they they're killing it rick fama iwa they're just killing it
over there and
um i've always made i always made fun of star wars not because i really really
hated it it's
just i saw people excited about shit and being a comedian you just make fun of
it yeah you just
make fun of it right you're a miserable fuck aren't you uh not it's not as like
i used to be now i kind of do it more fun but when i was a younger comic when i
was really angry
i wasn't miserable prick but uh so anyway i've always made joe rogan was the
angry um comic too
one time it would see joe rogan stand up yeah he's pretty tough yeah yeah that
guy uh that's one
he's one of the best comedians i've ever seen like his energy on stage is uh
unique there's nobody the
first time i saw him was at the kowloon in saugus it was a chinese restaurant
like for some reason
chinese restaurants in stand-up comedy in boston they just always had a room in
the back or a room
upstairs in this place that they had a room upstairs and me food yeah and me
and uh i think i would like
the chinese restaurants but they have good food there yeah and east coast
chinese food too which
is the shit so um i went with late great patrice o'neill and we went and
watched him and we're just
fucking blown away there was nobody there was this weird thing with boston
comedy where you had this
mount rushmore people that created it and they didn't leave um didn't want to
leave you know and
they were making great money so you had to leave and establish yourself and
then come back and then you
could headline so he was the guy we were looking at like how did he do that
like how is he still in
his 20s headline in the kowloon because that it just you couldn't you couldn't
get that that gig did not
exist for our generation and he did it so we're like all right let's go down
and check this guy out
see if this guy is as good as people say he was he was that's when he was doing
the uh you ever see
tigers fucking his that was his closing bit and he sounded just like a tiger
and he acted this shit out
i just like the i remember the sonic like assault of that bit in a great way
was just like
there was like that bit alone was better than what my whole generation was
doing collectively when we
watched that so i was just like and that was one of those things when you saw a
guy that good
that it couldn't not have an impression on you that you had to be like so do
you think that's your
biggest influence that was there's comics and there's certain sets and he's
both joe rogan at
the kowloon and fucking i mean i'm talking like 94 it was before i moved to new
york me and patrice
went down and we watched him and we were just like what's not with us no more
yeah yeah that's
that was that is one of that one of the last charlie sheen or something that
was the last rose that he
had yeah yeah that'll never not be sad that guy yeah if he was still alive you
wouldn't know who i
was or a lot of other people because he was he was uh he was so good but that
was what made it great
because he was so good you'd never had a competitive thing with them like in
order to compete with
somebody they have to be somewhere within my sight and he was just over the
horizon and just so when
he went on stage i just you just became you stopped being a comedian you just
became like a fan
of stand-up and that's what rogan did when i saw him at the kowloon like i
stopped being like okay how
do i get there and okay he moved to la i just i just forgot all of that and
just started enjoying the show
and um yeah i almost felt like i should have paid him because i because i was
sitting there like an
audience member and people are that way with you when they see certain bits
that you do like your
helicopter bit they look at that and go okay you're hitting that from so many
different angles so many
different perspectives that's really funny i flew with the guy that was the
dude flying and he had seen
me do the bit and he never brought it up really how cool is that i had to find
out afterwards
