promo go ahead say it like you mean it that's great but what do you think winnie
there we go look at that you got to start from the beginning give it up for
graphics
that's some good clean comedy fun awesome you can put more laughs in there
right yeah
where'd you shoot sf what's that you shot an sf san francisco yeah yeah okay we
all saw it all right
jobs so when i last was on the show it was the party oh the party now he's
divorced and matt was
the uh photographer and now i see he's an unpaid intern oh i don't know what
your next uh job is
but things have changed you're moving on up buddy we actually used to pay you i
think we have you
are you still paying him no no he stopped all right he told me not to oh great
buy me dinner anytime we're
out still haven't done that either look into it wendy's after the show yeah
dollar menu
yeah i shot the uh special in san francisco at cobs and you guys both love that
club
great one and the audience was hot i mean that sf audience they were really
good yeah and uh been
playing there for decades and um i said hey can we shoot it here and they're
like you know not many
people shoot stuff there i thought like a bunch is not really so yeah it's like
one of the last like
on untouched venues you know totally did do you find that sf has gotten a
little grown here or is
about the same i don't know i think my crowd comes out for the for the jokes
you know what i'm saying
but i think they're they're kind of done with that like the you know good they're
done with that kind
of like you know uh you shouldn't laugh at that you shouldn't laugh at this
kind of thing i think
they kind of had it i mean they really kind of you know yeah enough smash and
grabs they'll get
you to exactly you know roll your windows up in your car yeah remember those
days when a joke stops
working in sf i think you still got like a few years in like thank louis you
know right i was just
in st louis yeah they'll laugh though they won't grow in it yeah they're they're
beyond that um i don't
know how's the road treating you fellas it's great man great living the dream
you guys are really so
hardcore i mean i'm so impressed every weekend every weekend that's how i feel
like if i'm selling
tickets i'm gonna go get them and how many like what would you say is the best
time to go back to
the same venue like a year give it a year a year and a half yeah depends who
you ask i don't i mean
some people are like you you got to make them want you but i'm like i'll still
have me back i don't
give a shit wow you guys can't stop though that's what it is i'm stopping i
just taped a special over
the weekend so i'm done for uh i'm i don't have anything on my calendar right
now but i'm really
i need to write a new act i don't know yeah but that'll take you like what
three months i mean
you're the most you guys are the biggest turnover guys i've ever seen you can
turn it out it's crazy
no you you fucking you and quinn are like the reason your comedy is what it is
oh you guys say uh
stagnant don't throw collin under the bus on that one no you guys like it's it's
like sports it's like
you look up to like the people who you know oh that's nice who are hardcore and
there's a reason
your comedy is so good sports he can't get out of bed yeah but since you did um
i can see when he
is uh moving so that means he can smell a lie now you trained him to smell out
the hypocrisy government
no i was gonna say colin was my role model i always looked up to con because he
was the funniest he
was the smartest he was the quickest and um i know that he does like a show
pretty much uh you
know he's always working on material too so you know when the crowds are
popping there's nothing
better so you know do you go on early ever anymore i'm going on early i'm
trying to do that now break
that habit of like always going on late the crowds are a little different you
know sometimes they're
um a little more i guess you could say adult you know that kind of thing but uh
you know uh uh
you know i don't know i think that going out every weekend is probably the best
way to go now to
work on material you know i'm saying yeah like you'll probably get more done on
the road in front
of your crowd and i always thought it's better to bring it in front of like a
crowd that doesn't
you know like just a regular crowd you know but it seems like that's where you
get a lot of the
moans and groans now yes it's a showcase crowd that's a real eye-opener when
you have your crowd
and you're you're kicking you're shucking and jiving and then you do another
crowd that's not yours and
you're like oh i'm the devil yeah everything i'm saying is terrifying and their
note their ears are
bleeding i gotta make some changes and do you question the material after that
a little i mean you
want to kind of meet halfway when it's new you question it for sure i think
yeah well that's another
thing it's like when do you throw it away you know that i know well since you
guys are turning it
over like you know honestly it's like like it's like a hot sheet hotel with you
guys you guys are
changing sheets every every couple of hours with your material there i mean do
you feel like uh by
the time you put it on tape that the joke is done or you still like have that
regret when you see it
like ah i could have said it that way or well you always get that regret right
because you're you're
doing you're gonna do a few of those jokes to survive the next few weeks and
then you're like
there's a tag and then you're like cut it from the special and or do i leave it
i don't know oh see
that would be the best if you could cut it out and then kind of like re rejuvenate
it yeah i love
that that would be really good how about you is there anything all of them
every one of them got
better the minute they said cut like every joke i thought was like oh man i
should have said it that
way right and um also like you know technical problems all that kind of stuff
where you're like
you know um the guy who directed my special scott gallick is great and he
really we did a lot
of time with editing and i think specials are made in editing i really do think
that editing
you can cut out a lot of the fat you can move things and that you have every
right to do that
to make it a better show you know yeah i mean honestly you've you're free
forming it up there
anyhow like you know the way you think it's going to go is never the way it
goes that's true yeah that's
true and then how many did you do i did four when i shot a special two four is
the is the is the money
that's the best way to go four you did four yeah it's nate bargasi goes if you
can't get in two
i will lose respect for you two i said uh well i'm doing four yeah in my
defense i shot on saint
paddy's day weekend so the first two were just moot that was too much i did thursday
friday so i was
like thursday i need at least a weekend one weekend night you know yeah for
sure oh yeah why'd you go
thursday friday because someone was at the wilbur on saturday damn you that's
another great venue for a
shoot great man that place is it's everything you want it's a theater but it's
small i mean it's like
great sound those three three tiers right at you you're like oh that's that's
that's pretty good
did you shoot anything at the garden when you played there i shot the show but
i didn't um yeah that's
what it looked like it looked pretty cool yeah that's really good is that a heil
man an opening high constricted in that suit i i'm not used to wearing a suit
so i was like
that's what hitler said i was just you guys are right on the same page i was i
was john mccain i
couldn't get higher right look at that that's a beauty man you look like a
senator yeah and you're
wearing a suit too whose idea was that that was nate nate that was another nate
he was like wear a
suit you never love for specials like fuck it i'll do it you were blazer in one
of your specials you did
yeah but that was back in the 90s we all had to then right that wasn't it wasn't
the captain miserable
well whatever it was we they kind of were like you got to dress up you know
right but i i don't think
that you know me wearing them going up there wearing a three-piece purple suit
is going to change the
audience's mind on me you know me dressed as of course a p a preacher in peach
you know what about
the summer nights coming up because you got the headband the hat the jacket the
boots well
you know as we say at the car wash that would be great if your dog growled yeah
that would be a
tell his life on the streets yeah right may i thank you all right go ahead go
ahead well i don't think
you guys are that drunk i think you guys are really kind of growing up a little
bit well i'd like to be
but i didn't want to rub it in your face go ahead so coffee's bad enough right
now but are you guys
coming off a hangover no i have an ulcer right now so i'm awesome yeah not fun
welcome to the club
that's great so how often do you get them do you think it's a stress one or is
it from booze
probably both yeah that's cool because people are like wow this guy must be
really
really like tense if he's getting an ulcer something that's just like yeah
maybe we should be eating all
at brine at the bar you know i od on tum yum soup yeah yeah come on that's your
next job
the glass that we walk wingy right yeah save the energy for what you clean up
at
well are you taking care of yourself or not yeah a little bit you eat a salad
every now and then
how about you well this guy's ageless i mean look at him now honestly you
really are doing it i don't
know which bald when you you you kind of represent but i'm acting lately for
you guys i mean honestly
what does nate tell you to do it what is your muse what uh how about you you
taking care of yourself
look at me guys come on uh you look like wingy a little bit it's so funny when
i walked in the
hospital people actually thought i was you know a walking inpatient i got a
live one here i pulled
the gurney out but you you exercise right don't you do kettlebells and stuff i
used to do that then i
had a shoulder operation don't don't do it unless you're supervised you know
this whole like hey i
think i could figure out by watching a couple of tapes you gotta have somebody
who knows who knows how
to do it i do a little uh you know um uh some shadow boxing before i walk out
on stage maybe some
jumping up and down to get some of the the nerves out yeah i do some stuff yeah
what do you miss
more the blow or the booze that's a good question um i guess in the in these
times both are um both
are kind of passe correct i would say it would be fentanyl now fentanyl yeah i
kind of wish i kind
of stuck in for that game that would have been really a great well now the kids
like the adderall
really you sure about that pussy boy coke you know it's like the college coke i
like that
pussy boy coke you like the adderall i like that yeah like i like the you can
write a little bit on
