Matt McCusker w/ Sam Morril & Mark Normand - We Might Be Drunk Podcast

- Hey! - Hey!
- Here we are, we're here, we're queer, we're back, baby!
- How you been?
- Good, good, I taped a special.
That's, I got that magical moment where it's in the can,
but it's not out yet.
- Boulder, the magical, untapped comedy market, huh?
- Untapped, uncut gem, it's like my penis.
It's incredible. - Are you uncut?
- No, I'm cut. - Okay, good.
- Come on.
- I'm not doing a pod with a uncut.
- You don't like an anteater?
- Eh, it's all right.
- I cut my sons.
- Did you? - Did it myself.
- You nibbled it? - Yeah.
- Get a little bite?
- Ah, safety scissor.
- You put a little wine on, then you take a bite?
They do that for the alcohol?
- Is that right? - A little alcohol on the ween
right after they do it.
- Oh, really?
- What a weird, remember Giraldo had that bid,
he goes, "I got invited to a bris, you know, the circumcision."
I mean, what do you wear to that?
I just wore a tie with the ensign of that.
- That's so good.
- Great little topical. - Great.
- Not topical. - One-liner.
- You know, or those oils, they suck the blood off the tip.
- With the herpes.
- They don't try and get herpes,
but if they have herpes, they will pass it on to the kids.
- I've heard that.
- Yeah, and then they shoot a load of the baby dick
all over their face.
- Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Woo!
- Hot start.
- Yeah, hell of a start.
- Anyway, so did you know on Friday,
like you texted me and you were like,
"I think I got it Friday, pretty much, right?"
- Ooh, good pick.
- Yeah, ironically, don't cut that.
All right, yeah, yeah, we, Friday was one show
and it was like 85% sold.
So I was like, "Eh, this will probably be the bad."
There's always one clunker.
- But there's, you know, you have kills
for the camera anyway, right?
- That's true, that's true.
But it just gets in your head, like,
this one isn't sold out, but it looked good.
And that one was hot.
And I was like, "Hey, that feels good."
And then we went to bed,
me and him hiked a mountain in the morning.
- Whoa. - We got breakfast,
got some sunshine, some vitamin D.
Saturday early show.
Lights out, white hot, couldn't be better.
Great crowd. - The only unbelievable part of this
is that Salakew's hiked.
I don't believe this, this is crazy.
- Yeah, it was weird, I got photos of it.
He's in jeans, he's holding a camera over his shoulder.
It was crazy. - That's like when you see the coyote.
- Yes. - The day you're taping
a special, you're like, "Fuck."
- I looked it up after, I was like,
"Are there mountain lions?"
And they were like, "Oh yeah."
- Really? - Big, boulder mountain lion.
- No coyotes in Boulder, right?
Not only coyotes. - It's like a California thing.
- Some cougars there, I'll tell you that.
- Ooh, were there?
- Oh my God. - Boulder?
- Boulder, baby.
I mean, I thought it was gonna be armpit hair
and crunchy whores with dirty feet.
It is hot moms with L.L. Bean on. - Wow.
- And little quarter zip ups and yoga pants.
- It's a college town too. - Yes.
- College towns, great comedies.
Great comedy cities. - That's true, that's true.
And everybody warned me, it's all queefy over there.
You're gonna bomb, they're gonna be offended.
They couldn't have been cooler.
They were great crowds. - Why didn't they warn you about Boulder?
- I would think Boulder would be good.
- Well, they just said it's a college town,
it's very progressive, and they're gonna yell at you
and throw paint on you, but it was fine.
It was great, great crowds,
and then Saturday Late Show was a little tired.
- Yeah, but you had it at that point.
- Yeah, exactly. - Between Friday early
and Saturday early, you're like, I'm good.
- 100%. - Yeah.
- Then it was like, fuck around, riff, crowd work, whatever.
- Do you get any magic moments on the Late Show?
- I had a couple riff things.
I think people kind of clammed up because they were like,
it's a taping, so I was trying to egg 'em on and fuck with 'em,
but they were a little tepid.
- I wonder if it helps that it feels like every show is taped now.
- That's true, that's true.
- Yeah, but you don't wanna be the person who gets dunked on
in like a Netflix special.
- Right, exactly.
- 'Cause that does live longer.
- Exactly, yeah, I was waiting to dunk on somebody.
I was ready.
- You have something good.
But yeah, but how long do you think it's gonna clock in at?
- I'm gonna say 53, something like that.
- That's a good time.
- Yeah, as long as I'm over 50, I'm happy.
- Yeah, I think that's the number.
- Yeah, so I got some intro.
- Self-produced too, and you're gonna sell it, right?
- That's right, that's the plan.
- That's the move.
- Hopefully, we'll see.
The market is changing.
I think Hulu threw that big wad of jizz out there,
and nobody--
- Ooh, that's a good pick.
- That's all Sally.
But-- - Good shit.
- The amount I'm in my head in that moment is unbelievable.
- Yeah?
- You know that feeling, like we're taping tonight,
gotta get my shit together. - Yeah, but you got three.
Doesn't it help that you know you got three?
- Three is big.
- Three is almost like, I feel like two is fine at this point.
- Yeah, that's true.
- I've always overdone it.
I did four last time, and I'm like, what am I doing?
- So do I.
- You're like, am I just punishing myself?
I'm just like, I'm just putting off the celebration.
- Right.
- But then even at the celebration, you don't feel good,
'cause if you're a comic, 'cause you're just like,
I gotta write another one of these?
- I know.
- It's hard to, like, you did it.
I'm like, I know, but the next one's--
- Yeah. - This was the easy part.
When you're killing towards the end of tape in an hour,
you don't even feel like a real comic.
You're like, I'm a fucking hack, I know this works.
- Ha, ha, ha, ha.
- Yeah, but you gotta get it down.
- You gotta get it down, but you're like,
you don't feel good.
- Right, right. - You're like, it should hit.
And then if one line that always hits stops hitting,
you're like, that fucking line used to hit.
- Yeah, of course.
Well, I did three sets last night of like,
hey, I'm back out there.
I need to work on new stuff.
Bomb city!
- Well, yeah, as you should.
- Yeah. - But it sucks.
- It sucks. You're like, how did I write an hour?
How did I do that?
I just threw this shit on the table?
- You need something bad to happen.
- Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
- Something bad will happen and then you're like,
that's, there's a joke.
- All right.
- It doesn't have to be bad.
It has to be like something.
Something, you know, interesting.
- Sure, sure.
All right, well, yeah, well, we got it.
And Boulder, I highly recommend Boulder as a college town,
as a regular town, it's pretty, it's clean.
- How far from Denver?
- 45 minutes.
- Weird.
- So you land and get on a bus.
- I was gonna say, did they have a comedy club?
But why would they if Denver was right there?
- They had a little comedy room in our hotel, actually.
- Really?
- Yeah, it was like in the basement.
They had a little room they do stuff in.
And we got back from Saturday night.
I'm drunk.
And what's that guy's name?
Oh, what was that guy with the long hair?
- On our, who?
- Oh, he was a comic.
He was hanging out.
- Oh, I don't know.
- Oh, he's super funny.
Long hair, Denver, one liner guys.
Kind of like the new Hedberg.
Oh, give that a goog.
I gotta give this guy a shout out,
'cause he's really funny.
- Well, what's the Google?
Denver one liner guy?
- Denver one liner, long hair, comedy.
- Who opened the shows?
- Caleb Sinan.
- Oh yeah, he's good.
- Kill, that guy is ice in his veins.
- Yeah, I like that guy.
- So funny.
The whole, it was one of those things where the crew was like,
who is this guy?
This guy's great.
- Yeah.
- How big the venue?
- I'll think of it.
I think it was about 950.
- It's great.
This all sounds perfect.
- It was perfect.
It all locked in.
- So I had a gig the night before in San Jose,
'cause Shane Gillis and I had the same gig night in San Jose.
So I moved mine, 'cause he's Shane, and it worked out.
So I was supposed to do San Jose in July.
They moved it to the night before the taping.
Best thing ever.
- It all came into place.
- Yeah.
- The stars aligned.
- I hate moving a gig.
- I hate it too.
- There's some panic that I might, my agent was like,
you might want to move Chicago Theater 'cause even if it sells out,
you would have to compete with the Cubs in the playoffs.
If the Cubs make the playoffs, then they're like, fuck,
I do have a dude audience.
- Yeah.
- You have to think about that shit.
- Oh, that's true.
- Yeah.
- But it's coming up, right?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Oh, that's scary.
- By the time this comes out, I guess it's this Saturday,
so I guess it'll be--
- We'll see.
- Yeah, we'll see if I moved it.
Sorry if I moved it, guys.
I don't want to.
- Yeah.
- I'm probably gonna tough it out.
- Sometimes it helps to move it 'cause then you get a little more time to sell.
- Yeah, but it's just fucking annoying to have it routed with Winnipeg.
It's just, everything was kind of there for a reason.
- Yeah, yeah, the routing.
- Mark had Bert going up against him at Red Rocks,
which is just 25 minutes away.
- Yeah.
- And Soda was there too.
- For the taping?
- Yeah.
- And Soda was there?
- And Soda was at the club, I think.
Mitch Cliff was shooting his special that same day,
and Theo Vaughn, in a different city,
and Theo Vaughn was shooting his in New York.
- Different city doesn't hurt, yeah.
- No, I'm just saying a lot was going on that weekend.
- Yeah, Theo had his thing at the weekend.
- And Milwaukee had a baseball game.
- Just brings up everything.
- The marathon was going on.
- But you feel like you got it.
- Oh yeah, oh yeah, I feel really good about it.
Especially after seeing the Theo reports.
But, and I talked to Theo.
- Hopefully he's okay.
- Hopefully he's alright.
- He's fine, he's fine.
- Yeah.
- And he's a funny guy, and he'll figure it out.
- Yeah.
- But you want to go, hey, Netflix,
this one went pretty well, just saying.
- Well, they're better by yours, man.
I think they will.
- We'll see, we'll see.
- Well, if not there, I mean, dude, you got options.
- Yeah.
- You got fucking options, dude.
Don't get hung up on the one hot girl at the bar.
There's other, there's other.
- I got like a fat chick.
- Yeah, Hulu, Hulu's a hot fat chick.
- Yeah, but I think Hulu blew their wad,
booking all those guys.
And the numbers, I think, were below Netflix.
And Netflix is like, oh, we feel even better now.
Ironically.
Yeah, so.
- Yeah, well, you always got YouTube as an option too.
- That's true.
- And like, it could blow up.
- YouTube is the old, you don't bring,
what do you, you don't diss the girl
you brought to the dance or whatever.
- Yeah.
- Whatever that thing is.
- Did you see Netflix stock?
It's like.
- Whoa.
- $1,193.
- Jesus.
- Per share.
- Yeah, is that really good?
- That's really good.
- That's really high.
- Considering like two years ago, it was like 200.
- But it's also way down, it looks like.
- Wow, that's a thing.
- That's 'cause that Black Rabbit show stinks.
- Is it bad?
- Oh, the dialogue is horrible.
I like Bateman.
- Yeah, he's good.
- But I don't get it.
- So that's a non-rec.
- That's a non-rec, baby.
- I got a rec for you.
- Please.
- I think you're gonna have the same rec.
- The movie?
- The movie.
- Yeah.
- One battle after another.
See it in theaters, dude.
I saw it in IMAX in Rochester.
It's one of those sad things where you're like,
my shows are sold out.
And I went to like an 11 AM IMAX of this.
There were like 15 people in there.
- Ah.
- I'm like, this is a good movie.
- I know, I know.
And IMAX.
- We saw it in 4D.
- Ooh.
- Yay!
- What's up, dude?
- Hey, no, it's all good.
- What's up, man?
- How you doing?
- How you doing, man?
What's going on?
- Good to see you.
- We're talking about, have you seen one battle after another?
- No.
- No.
- The new movie?
It's good.
- Is that what everyone's talking about right now?
- It's damn good.
- It's a good one, dude.
- You gotta be a BL if you need one as well.
- I'm good, thank you.
- Hey, hey, your wife look
