Larry Charles w/ Sam Morril & Mark Normand - We Might Be Drunk Podcast

hey we're here folks we might be drunk we're here with Larry Charles our best
dressed guest ever yeah I thought yeah that's exactly I'm trying to find out
right yeah the Undertaker is here yeah we ever had a guest rock a suit I think
this is this classing it up maybe maybe started yeah I guess so no one's gonna
wear this I walked in with a bathing suit I'd be crazy I wouldn't either if I
had my choice it's a heat wave I have yeah here the sunglasses on I feel like
I've only seen you in the sunglasses like I thought I would take them off and
you
know so we can have some actual icon I appreciate it I prefer them on but what
are you gonna do I can put them back on but from a distance I would think Hasidic
Jew often mistaken for one uh-huh me too actually I had a black hat you know
that
that would be happening yeah I'd be also putting it to fill in on as well so I
remember I remember Hannibal Burr she said that joke about he had never seen
Hasidic
Jews so he first moved to New York and he's like why did these Jews why do
these
Amish people have blackberries I fucked up that joke Sasha and I used to get
into
arguments actually quite a bit where we'd be doing like a white supremacist
scene
and he was like say you can't go in there I go why so you look too Jewish and I
go
well have you looked at yourself you look too Jewish we'll be arguing outside
the
white supremacist house about who looked Jewish of course I was lost because he
had to actually go in and do the scene right and I'd have to stay outside on
the
porch that is the most Jewish thing two Jews bickering outside a white so is
that
the one was that the throw the Jew down the well one no this was uh we actually
interviewed uh this is part of Bruno where he's supposed to get a white
supremacist um he's start to start to flirt with a white supremacist and this
guy
was a virulent anti-semite he had Nazi stuff all over his house oh wow and he
has
to get him to flirt with him and then Bruno's boyfriend supposed to barge in
and
go what's going on here and like catch them you know that kind of thing and um
it
turned into like a violent melee wow and that guy his name was uh Glenn
Frazier I believe Glenn Miller actually orchestra he he wound up not but not
the
orchestra guy the white supremacist guy got it and he wound up uh going he
wound up
going to a uh a synagogue in Kansas City that's where this was and shooting
three
people whoa yeah and the three and he went to the synagogue to shoot three Jews
and the
three people he killed happened to not be Jews oh my god yeah yeah damn it what
were
those non-Jews doing at the synagogue well he was an idiot to begin with so I'm
not surprised
he's he didn't get that right he shouldn't have gone on Saturday right well
also he had
somebody he had me and him me and Sasha were there right he just shot us yeah
it would have
been much you know he would have been on target weird do you ever hear from
people
after they got like just humiliated in the in the show or movie or anything
like that
usually through their lawyers like a lot we had probably over 150 lawsuits for
and who deals with that HBO yeah I don't know who deals with it actually well
you know that
was made by Fox actually Borat but there was a lawyer involved and most of
those only one
lawsuit that I know of in the two movies that we did like that actually um
succeeded and that
was actually a terrorist a Palestinian terrorist that we did on Bruno where he
shows the guy um
a sex tape that he made and he's trying to get his opinion about the sex tape
and he's trying to get
the guy to kidnap him you know and the guy was really clueless and he wasn't we
had bad research which
is one of the few times and he wasn't actually a currently uh a terrorist he
was a retired terrorist
and so and we identified him as an active terrorist you don't hear about
retiring they moved to Boca
they get residuals from the bus bombing a condo development there but he um he
sued and he he actually won some money of all the people
wow yeah yeah no I know that was the one time wow what is he's doing for defamation
or something
yeah yeah yeah yeah and it was in it was actually in Palestine we did it in the
west bank wow and
yet he was able to sue in a in an American court it's always about the banks
but he was actually he
was right I mean we had the research wrong he was not he was kind of like a
shopkeeper right when we
interviewed him you know a pretty peaceful guy actually uh so uh he actually
got us but that we
we probably sued like hundreds of times you know uh and none of those other
suits worked well you get
a release right you get a release but people still try to get past the release
right once the scene's over
they realize they made a horrible mistake by signing the release and so then
they want to tear up the
release and you know but they've also we give them a hundred bucks and that
that's like a binding
contract then right and so nothing could really be done about it they're really
kind of stuff
that's your reputation 100 yeah I mean that's when I see you have guys like
Rudy Giuliani I'm like
how the fuck do they how are they so stupid to agree to be on camera people you
know it's two
things that I'm sure you run into a lot in your lives ego and vanity people
want to be on camera
people want to you know they think they're better than they are they think they're
very photogenic
very charismatic I play as my role I often play into that so you know you
should be on tv how come
you've never done a pilot before you know that kind of work for girls gone wild
exactly and um and
people will uh be very seduced by that very easily oh yeah so it works man your
life is dangerous I
mean you you put yourselves in harm's way quite a bit for a comedic writer I
have I mean I've been to you
know I did a show for netflix called larry charles dangerous world of comedy
where I went to somalia
uh because there's comedians in somalia I mean I I'm in dangerous situations
but being a comedian
in somalia that's like those are the worst cruise ships ever yeah yeah really
bad they kind of crash
into the the shore there horrible but there's a lot of assassinations amongst
the comedians that I
whoa yeah I mean because they really get the government upset and um and the
state-run media
so you know it's it's a very tense situation for people in iraq but there are
comedians in all these
places crazy liberia where there was a big civil war comedians you know wow so
I thought that was
fascinating that people do comedy because we have it pretty easy here you know
um but in some places
doing comedy really is risking your life you know yeah I thought that was
fascinating when people call
comedians brave here where I was like shut the fuck up yeah there's really no
we the more we talk about
it like even with canceling comedians it really never sticks when it's a joke
or a word the only ones
who have stuck are like the sexual assault people yeah there's a lot of people
in these in these
countries who are constantly under threat uh their lives are under threat and
and often are you know are
killed so it's a bit it's a pretty big deal but they they feel it's a really
important thing to do to
sort of speak truth to power to speak out against the government and they're in
these dictatorial
dictatorial kind of countries and they want to speak out about them and people
do respond to it
also yeah so they're they are playing a kind of important role and a healing
role also for people
that are oppressed sure they get a chance to laugh you know which is kind of a
rarity in those places
here we can laugh as pretty much as much as we want even as trump our dictator
is like you know talking we
can still make fun of them we're sitting here making yeah so pretty great yeah
there's a little bit of
freedom it's crazy we bitches comedians we get heckled or a drink thrown at us
these guys are getting
killed maybe right all for 28 dollars at a club you know maybe wings maybe that's
their their their
their income for the year yeah couple drink tickets yeah that's crazy the balls
on those guys
yeah that's major balls what's the most scared you've been in one of those
situations
you know the weird thing for me i'm from brooklyn originally and a very kind of
violent lord of the
flies kind of brooklyn uh section and um i don't get scared i mean i get scared
like coming on this show
i get nervous about that kind of stuff more than i do like i was in somalia we
got stopped suddenly
all these militia people came out they all had machine guns they're all
pointing it at the at the
vehicle you know and i'm like saying you're more scared to be here yeah i swear
to god i kind of
i'm a big fan of yours i'm much more scared of the machine guns in somalia but
something happens to me
i don't know why maybe i'm a sociopath or something but i my my my fear level
goes down i get kind of
calm i sort of surrender it's like okay well this is it you know and i'm like i'm
okay with that it's
like a race car driver they say when they're going 800 miles an hour they're
like i'm weirdly zen
yes and that's what happens to me in those situations so i've been in a lot of
those
situations i'm uniquely suited in a way to direct a borat or to go to somalia
to talk to comedians
because in those situations where the guns are being pointed at me which has
happened more than
once i kind of get into that zen state interesting um and i don't i don't get i
get i have more trouble
getting to the airport to go to that place than i do when i get to that place
that's this is it's
it's like the little things are more annoying exactly yeah i have to go to the
airport later
today i'm freaking out about that but when i got to somalia i felt okay well
that's why the shows
like curb or seinfeld are so resonate because i feel like minutiae to guys like
us is way more
interesting and more important than the big issues of the day you're right yeah
when something horrible
happens in my life i kind of like pause and deal with it but when it's when it's
the little things
i get so fucking angry yeah like people violating basic social codes i mean
that we talk about peeves
on this podcast all the time yeah i have i've written down much for you don't
worry yeah all right
yeah i think comics are good with that like well i was at a restaurant with a
comic on the road
recently and i could overhear people talking about iran and trump and elon and
all this stuff and
then i i looked at us and we were we were in like a 20 minute deep dive on
types of toast
sourdough then you got wheat then you got a whole grain and then you got a
muffin and you got a
croissant and we loved it it was yeah you remind me my wife insisted we get a
toaster oven you know to
make toast and um and i said okay and but i have found that you cannot make
good toast in the toaster
oven it only toasts one side interesting don't toast equally you know so there's
a there's a peeve let me get
jerry on the line yeah find out about that toaster oven yeah well yeah i mean
you directed so you
directed borat bruno religious which i saw in theaters yes with my mom i was
like i'll go to
temple with you if you go to religious did she like it she did her critique
which i understood was
there was that great scene where he's talking to that politician another guy
where you're like how
the hell did he get this guy to agree to be on camera and i was like oh i mean
i wish there were
more scenes like that yeah that was her critique which i i heard that yeah
because like those
are the when he's talking to people who are like well this guy's clearly just a
dumb grifter right
it's not as interesting you know when you're talking to someone who's like oh
this guy actually has like
political influence and power right to me that to me as well that was more like
oh well like yeah
bill is smart enough to kind of outwit those people so i wanted to see that
more well it's always
hard to get the truly powerful sure yeah that's why
