- You have a weird, like, a cool confidence now.
- What do you mean?
- Just off stage, I've been observing you.
- What are you talking about?
- Just a thing where it's like you walk into like a room
or the hallway, or you're walking down,
and just your voice and the way you walk and stuff,
which is, you know, Archie, you know what I mean?
- Archie, yeah.
- And just slinging, you know what I mean?
And people kind of moving out of your way.
Yeah, yeah, no, I'm being real.
- That's not true.
- I've been observing you for real, dude.
And I'm like, huh.
- But it's not done out of--
- He's got a swire.
- It's not out of, you're not being cocky.
It's just you, I think you've gotten to the next level
or something, and you demand a certain amount.
And I'm the same way.
- Sure.
- A respect, but there's something like a, you know,
like the rat, a rat pack flare.
- Okay, I'll take it.
- Right, right.
- But don't say D, not demand, command.
- No, it's the more demand.
- No, I think I command something.
I have a commanding presence, so do you.
- But it was never like that with you.
- Sure, because I was probably more sad before.
- More sad. - Yeah.
- And you would come in, "Hey guys."
- Just being in the grind.
I think sometimes the grind got to me.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
- And then now, I think what he's saying, truthfully,
and I mean this, I found that post-pandemic,
I found the rhythm I need to do comedy in.
When I used to be like, "Go, go, go, go, go, go, go."
And now I'm like, "Dude, I can do less shows
and work out better material in less time
if I work harder at the times that I have."
Instead of doing three shows a night,
and two of them are fucking mediocre
because my effort level is low.
Because I'm tired, I'm hungry, I didn't eat dinner,
we came from this, or whatever.
I think that changed my mentality.
- That's probably what you're talking about
that switch right there.
- Yeah, it probably did,
because I feel more like I need to focus on making it good
while I'm there, instead of...
It used to be, "How many sets can you do?"
You know, I mean back, dude, you know too.
Five years ago, when it was fucking chaos at the store,
how many times can I get up?
It was like, "How many times a week can I get up?"
It was like a competition, everyone's like-
- To get on, yeah.
- Yeah, you're there, you're there, you're there,
you're there, you're there, two shows,
main room now, there, then in Providence.
I think I was burning out.
I was fucking just burning out.
- Yeah, I think that what the pandemic did for me was,
when I'm on stage now, I don't care as much.
- About the reception? - The reaction.
- That's huge.
- For me it is, because it's like,
I used to need a kill at every moment,
and I could see myself not doing as well,
and still being okay.
- Like we should all take a note from Norm Macdonald,
when you watch his stuff.
- Yeah, he's amazing.
- Like even his, what's the presidential speech,
you know where you do the-
- Correspondents' dinner.
- Correspondents' dinner.
I said it, there we go.
So, no, but even when you watch that correspondence dinner,
his first joke is, "I didn't want to come up here
and bomb in front of the president."
And it's like smattering of laughter.
- Yeah, yeah.
- But he liked the idea, I'm not that guy,
you're not that guy.
- Yeah, yeah.
- But like, we should all take a little note from him,
when you do watch his stuff,
that you're like, oh yeah,
he was comfortable just fucking around.
- Oh yeah.
- He was just fucking around.
- I was so, I was just-
- Chapelle wasn't like that.
- Yeah, but Dave, Dave, Dave was always kind of prophetic.
Like he wanted to be like,
what I'm saying is profound.
- Oh yeah.
- Where Norm was like, this is fucking dumb.
- Oh yeah.
- And he let you sit with how dumb something was that he said.
- Okay.
- I think it was just, Dave, I think, thinks his words,
and I'm not shitting on,
I think he wants his words to be powerful.
- Yeah.
- I think Norm wants to make you just,
it's more of, God, I wish I knew how to,
it's just more like a-
- I know what you're saying.
- It's more like little tiny, like little tiny jabs.
- No, he's doing it above you almost.
- Yes.
- Right?
- But he's letting you get there.
- Right, but he also doesn't like,
I can, I've seen Norm perform where you're in the audience
and there are like people that just don't get it.
- They don't get it.
- Right?
And I'm like, I look over and I'm like,
you know, how do you not get that?
- But because you forget that sometimes joke structure
is so familiar to comedians,
but not to audience members,
that you know he's doing it because he knows
they don't get it.
- Did you see Norm on The View when he was promoting his-
- My favorite.
When he talks about Bill Clinton, the murderer.
- Yeah, the murderer.
- It's the funniest thing on earth.
- But what, if you,
I rewatched it after his passing, right?
And it's a guy sticking to his guns.
- Oh, he doesn't bow down.
- And not pendering to the liberal side of things.
- Dude, this is the second time you've gone nationalistic
and I love it.
- Why, why, why?
- 'Cause you're going full repub on this show.
- I'm not, I'm not.
- You're going repub on this show.
- He is, bro.
- Hilarious.
- I, I, you know what?
- You know what he said the other day?
He goes, "Welfare is bullshit."
- No, I never said that.
I never said that.
I never said that.
- Holy shit.
- On the phone to me, he goes,
"Dude, EDD is a joke."
- I didn't even know the squid.
- I think government serves its purpose, right?
And I like programs for the, you know.
- Do you want your government big or small?
- I like it big.
- You like it, you like interactive government?
- But for me, because of cancel culture, right?
It's driven me toward the center.
- I know, we talked about this last week.
- I know, so I've already said that before.
- But you know what?
You should be able to be however you want to be.
- This is who I am, I don't give a fuck.
My point is, is that-
- And Norm was like that too.
- Yeah, and when I was re-watching that,
I was like, you know,
I don't really even agree with what he did.
- Norm?
- Yeah, on the thing.
It's not like me going,
because you know, it's like, you know-
- You were saying Bill Clinton was a murderer?
- Yeah, and it's also, it's like he's-
- But he is.
- They're all presidents are murderers, aren't they?
- But Bill is.
- Yeah, but all presidents are murderers.
- No, I know.
- Okay, so it's like-
- But Bill Clinton did go to Epstein's Island 26 times.
- Anyway, um-
- 26.
- So, it's not like I believe in the politics
of what he's saying, what I'm saying, I get it.
So what I'm saying is that he's a guy,
because if I was in there in that situation,
I would've read the room and switched
so that everyone would love me.
- You would've pussed out.
- Yeah, and he didn't do that, and I honor that.
- Yeah, because they were like,
"You're not gonna be on the show anymore."
He goes, "I just don't want a president that's a murderer."
- Yeah, yeah, it's amazing.
- It's great.
- It's great, yeah.
- But you know what?
That's a special type of guy.
Like, there's only fucking one in a million people
that are like that in comedy.
And it's not like, "Who's the funniest?"
I don't like when somebody goes,
"Funniest guy to ever live."
It's like, that's not a real statement.
- That's not real statement.
- It's a stupid fuck.
I hate when people say that.
Norm was great at what he did.
He was phenomenal.
He was his own thing.
That's why he was so good.
- Yeah.
I'm gonna also say something where I've grown in,
in terms of comedy.
It's like, the guy that kills the most at a club,
isn't necessarily the funniest guy.
- Of course not.
- Sometimes the guy that doesn't do as well, right?
But their approach to certain topics or angles,
and point of views, is original.
And something about their persona, right?
Is like unique, that not everyone's gonna get, right?
But is extremely inventive and innovative.
- Like Gerard, Gerard Carmichael.
- That's a great example.
- Not at all.
- No?
- No, I'm kidding.
Yeah, Gerard, yeah.
- Yeah, because I--
- I'll tell you who that is now.
- Ooh.
- Brian Simpson.
- Oh, Brian Simpson, yeah, he's fucking.
- Right now, I don't know if I've watched a funnier,
developmental mind, in terms of like,
he knows his voice, I'm not saying,
I'm saying what he's forming right now.
- Yeah.
- Dude, he's--
- Yeah, Brian is there.
- He's phenomenal.
- You know, I--
- I think he's one of the best comics out right now,
by far.
- Yeah, Brian's great.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Let's not talk about this.
- Yeah, Gerard is--
- Oh, you don't wanna talk about comics anymore?
- Yeah.
- All right, let's cut all that.
