we're up thank you for doing this my pleasure do you want to sit here no no
okay no it's your show
though well but that's not what we do on youtube we call it we say the joe rogan
experience
and people click ah don't sue good move i won't sue don't sue come on thank you
i'll never see you
thank you for letting me shoot the special at the mothership was amazing thank
you for saving it
thank you for doing it well let's talk about it yeah when we got there uh
someone it's it's
generally some executive type person decided to put lamps on every table and
light the room up
and i got there i was like oh no this is terrible and there was like a tension
in the air that you
could feel it was the brightest i had ever seen the club yeah it was weird i
could see earrings yeah
you could see everything everything you could see zits if somebody had zits you
could see their
complexion and then on so wednesday the early show we're shooting wednesday thursday
the early show
wednesday was tough it was tough people well it was tense they were having fun
but you were doing
really well but your opening acts uh were struggling because it was a feeling
when you got there when i
walked in i was like jesus christ this feels like a fucking like a board
meeting yeah you know i mean
it felt like a conference hall felt felt weird it was weird and everybody
seemed like a little off put
by it like everyone the audience was tense they were tense but you went as soon
as you started
fucking around with the audience and going into them they got loose they got
loose a little bit but
it's like it's funny it's like when you shoot a special it you know you do
comedy all the time
and then you go out and you shoot a special and you go okay i've done this a
million times
it's gone great and it'll go great now and we'll just get it on film and then
you go out and it's like
and i'm like i'm like embarrassed because you're there and in my head i'm like
i hope he left
because you're all excited and you're like i'm excited i'm coming to see the
special i'm excited
and i'm like well thank god i came i mean i'm up there and i'm like doing bits
and the audience is
just staring at me and i go well this is good and then but afterwards you
corrected it and said you
gotta make it like a comedy club well to those guys credit they all did exactly
what i said which
is beautiful they didn't push back at all they were smart yeah they had so much
work that they put
into making things interesting they lit the walls weird yeah they did all this
stuff but i said you
don't you gotta understand all this stuff makes people self-conscious the more
they can see
themselves the more they can see other people yeah the more they're self-conscious
the more they
won't laugh and tim's act is fucked up right like you have to yeah you have to
cut loose on some
jokes that in you know polite company you would never laugh at that's right you
would turn your
head away from and what was what was a mind fuck is that i was here a month ago
and i did six shows
and they're like the best shows we've ever done you're like this is the perfect
place to film why
wouldn't we film it here right right and we filmed it at the store and we didn't
get the coverage i had
a good set but the coverage wasn't there yeah i heard about that and it was
doesn't make any sense
it's not ideal it doesn't make any sense it's not that's not a giant room it's
not like you're doing
a coliseum it was not good it's always good when you think you're gonna get it
and because the store
you know ila is weird you have people that are sitting there in like ironic
cowboy hats they have
they're hot influencer girlfriends yeah it's weird it's weird it's not always
great sometimes it's
amazing but we got out of four shows in la we got one really great show and gabby
reese was there
oh i love sitting in the front row oh that's awesome she's the best and i'm
like all right so that's
good right we got it and everyone's like we got it and then we get the footage
back we don't got it
do you have anything you use for clips maybe yeah probably yeah that's what i
was thinking about the
first show wednesday yeah like there's a lot of clips in there's clips you were
fucking around with
the crowd was very funny yeah yeah yeah no no for sure there's clips but like
the one we got at the
store the guy who did this good guy is a nice guy and he's a talented guy but
he just made some
choices where he was like far out he wasn't like we didn't have a ton of close-ups
um and that was
what he because here's the thing they they have a vision too right the people
that shoot it and i don't
talk to any of them and figure out anything oh you have to do that i should now
i've really learned
yeah i just showed up yeah i know this
i don't even like like i'm bad at that part of it where i'm like i don't do
like the strategy meeting
and go what are we right i just figure it's like yeah it's a mothership it's a
great club you got a
camera yeah there's a stage don't don't go too crazy with the design and that's
what the problem was
yeah they went really crazy with changing the atmosphere they wanted to you
know which probably
works for some things but it's not good for stand-up and it's definitely not
good for your
kind of stand-up no you know your kind of stand-up demands darkness preferably
very dark where no one
can even see each other or me yeah just hear my voice in a black hole paulie's
been doing this
thing where he goes on stage and just has a spotlight on him they did it with
holtzman as well
interesting it was it was for holtzman it's really good paulie would actually i
don't know
if paulie's doing at the store i know he definitely did it uh excuse me he
definitely did at the store
right i don't know if he did it at the mothership but when he would do it i go
that's interesting i don't
know if i like it but i like it for him but for holtzman it's really good that's
amazing because
he's just a complete fucking maniac i want to see holtzman in a spotlight did
you see him in madison
square garden i didn't see his set it was fucking amazing i imagine it was
fucking amazing because
it wasn't worked you know holtzman will take something that day right and run
with it it's wild
that day so he had this whole chunk about nobody likes billy joel fuck billy joel
at billy joel's home madison square garden he sold madison square garden out
like 300 times i know
it's crazy it's like that's so funny and he's just like fuck billy joel nobody
likes billy joel
all the people that work here oh fucking billy joel's here yeah oh that's so
funny
now he's great i'm not doing any justice i'm not doing it any justice he's one
of those guys where
the stuff he does he can only do well we made a real big effort to get him to
to austin we because
we felt like look there's not a diss to the comedy store but he had gotten into
this position where
they weren't utilizing him the right way they were just having him go up last
at the end of these shows
this you're talking about a 30-year comic right he's really good of course he
just but he's weird
it's a you gotta love it i love it and he he has an audience now like people
come to see him at the
mothership and it's sold out and they're expecting holtzman right because it's
like do you ever hear the
stories about when hedberg was coming up when hedberg was coming up before
everybody knew who he was
before he did like letterman sets before he did comedy central sets you would
put him on as a headliner
and they had this guy went on before him was like rapping and doing back flips
and super high energy
and hedberg's just standing there talking about frozen bananas you know what i
mean it's like you have to
set the stage right you have to set the tone right and until people know what
he does and then they come
to see him it's tough yeah and that's kind of the thing with holtzman if they
don't know what's going
on they have to know but but once you know what's going on you're in you're in
and it's great because
it's so unusual it's so interesting how delicate things are i had a guy friend
of mine really
talented singer songwriter and we were at santa's in san jose and i go why don't
you open the show with
a few songs and i thought what would that do and he did like three songs and it
was like really a tough
show it was like a brutal show like after he did three songs and i didn't
realize like but a bunch of
people told me don't have comedy follow music it's too weird it's too weird it
doesn't different
mindsets yeah and like he's singing songs and people are kind of like getting
into it and then
we went on and did comedy and it was just it wasn't terrible but it was very
different yeah and it
didn't feel great you gotta knock people out of that mindset of seeing music
and the problem is
no disrespect but most opening acts aren't strong enough to shock them out of
it right they're not good
enough to really get the crowd going right and change the mindset quickly so by
dime you're getting
up they're just still adjusting to the idea that they're laughing yeah it was
and i felt bad and he
kind of felt bad we didn't say anything after like he was sitting in the green
room and i was like good
job man he's like yeah you too and then it was just silent because we were so
mad at him and it wasn't
his fault he's an awesome guy and we loved hanging out with he's from northern
california so me and my
opener were like why don't you tag along we'll do this road trip or maybe we
flew i think we flew
and i said it'll be fun the san jose improv is like an old theater that they've
made into a club
great place great place and we were staying in like palo alto which is fun you
walk around stanford
campus and you know see all the asian people it's nice just to see everyone and
um but then he got
up and it was it was like i didn't know what it was like running with weights
on what did he sing
about just kind of like whatever he's doing it's like acoustic music but it's
like it's like some of
it's like socio cult like commentary so i was like maybe that'll fit it's kind
of like folky kind
of like you know whatever here's what's going on type stuff and i was like i
might be good and it
was like whoa it was like quicksand we got up and was like quicksand right
after him and then he was
like you know the next day we're all kind of having breakfast and i was like
you know i think tonight
we'll just do the comedy he goes no i get it he goes it changed the energy i go
yeah and i go i i'm
sorry i thought and he goes no no i'm sorry it felt i felt bad it's just like
mixing
peanut butter and steak right you know both of them are great yeah you just can't
do it together
just don't put them together and it ruined the weekend because now we hated him
we were
but we like him but i'm like i hate i don't even want to look at him now
because of how difficult
this was that's hilarious especially san jose improv that place is awesome it's
always supposed to be
awesome and it was like you know it was like it was tough so it is one comedy
is such an interesting
thing there's you got to have a an idea of like what you're going to see who
you're going to see
yeah and because i saw people that eight o'clock wednesday show i'm like they
don't want to be here
some of these some of these people don't want to be here well i don't think
that's the case
maybe it wasn't i think they were weirded out by how light lit it was so well
lit it was so well
there's a light in front of you on your table yeah it was crazy it was a bad
idea and then thursday
shows were the best ever that's perfect well we got them to shut off everything
yeah i just i they
they said oh we're just gonna leave these lights on i'm like let me see them
off like the stage
light right let me see that off right let me dim it down dim it down let me see
it off okay take
it off no get rid of it get right and they did everything yeah it was it's so
nice owning a club
of course there's no committ
