to ask you because one time we were in uh in new york we grabbed a beer and you
were telling me
that you were you were getting ready to do this really cool movie with this
french director i
believe yeah leo scarix yeah it was called uh annette yep and you were going to
be playing a
stand-up comedian that's the first time i met you yeah and you wanted to pick
my brain uh and i
went and saw you at this uh patrice o'neill benefit yeah yeah yeah you went on
last and it
was like oh hey you just flatlined no no no no no shit the bed energy just sank
yeah no no you
it was it was really impressive why is this guy on stage no no the place just
uh get erupted that was
oh i i i appreciate that um i want to see that movie where can i because i
never ended up seeing
it um i am lost in the world of stand-up and watching sports i'm a big bread
and circus guy
like you know whatever they want me to watch to distract me from what's going
on yeah yeah i'm
there macy day parade football on sunday so um did you ever end up doing stand-up
trying it no on
stage no no no no then the stand-up and you see the movie is very uh you know
choreographed it's not
like we we talked about like uh i forget we like andy kaufman and things like
that where the comedian
in this movie was very you know experimental and you know um not so not not
joke punchline you know
kind of thing you know there's like singing to the audience and they sing back
it's a very
you know you should check out if you have time when you're out here you got to
go see this guy brian
brian holtzman brian holtzman brian holtzman that fucking guy is uh in his own
way is doing his own
andy kaufman thing but it's like what he's doing is like it's like he's beyond
a comedian's comedian
like he's he's like his own like entity and what i love about what he does is
he knows he has to have
known that like you know what he's doing is not going to make somebody like
back in the day at must
see tv like oh this could go on after ellen right like he just and everybody
else you know myself
included we're playing that game i'm like all right industry's here try to work
clean talk about your
family he never did that shit and he's um uh just one of one of the greatest
comedians i've ever seen
i had a friend of mine greg fitzsimmons recently saw him and was telling me the
stuff that he was
talking about you you have to see that guy because what's great about him is
you still get to see him
you know he has like his fans that see him but like the best thing is seeing
somebody discover him
for the first time and be like what the fuck is this guy saying like um i'm
trying to
give you an example without doing one of his jokes um like kind of a sam kinnison
uh
yeah i you know what i would when i look at him you know what i see on stage i
see george c scott
ah like george c scott wow doing stand no and he and he looks like and he kind
of in a way almost
looks like jack nicholson when he played uh um um jimmy hoffa and when he had
like the flat top and
the mustache yeah yeah the guy he's a retired dog catcher and he used to work
it was an airplane
mechanic and he is just he is on his own fucking thing that is so beyond
anything i'm doing or
anybody else i'm telling you this fucking guy is is you know i know you've
already done the role or
whatever but if you just want to go in late night at the comedy store and just
watch a guy fucking blow
people's minds no i love stuff like that even off-broadway plays where someone's
reading stage
directions for i love the uncomfortableness of how long can we keep this going
yeah i've always had a
uh like you know watching people like that there's that fascination like the
balls that it takes
to do it and and it's not done in like a self-sabotage because there's a
difference between
self-sabotage and just deliberately fucking something up because you have a
fear of success
right and actually being like no like this is who i am and i don't fit in with
whatever the
fuck that is but guess what i don't give a shit i'm not conforming because i
have to do it so
i would highly uh recommend him
