- In almost anything that we've ever made
in the world of art and film,
if we're gonna believe that this is the world in a vacuum,
if it calls for the character to use certain language,
it lines up.
When Leo went off, right?
It was disgusting, but that was the character.
- You mean in Django, Unchained?
- Yeah, yeah.
- No.
- In what, Leo?
- In Titanic, when he yells an end-word.
- Oh yeah, I remember, man.
Right when he drowns, he says it.
- You gotta turn it off, but he says the end-word, right?
- When he's like, "Goodbye, Rose."
- Yeah.
- And then says the end-
- He says, "I remember that."
Yeah, yeah.
- No, dude, in Django, he says it.
It's very appropriate for the character.
It's atrocious to hear, but what Tarantino was doing
was showing how vitriol and disgusting these people were.
It was brilliant.
It made you loathe a guy that we love.
It was perfect.
- Right.
- The argument that many people have made is this man,
it didn't really fit the character.
It was very odd.
It was almost inserted in a way where you go,
this guy lives in the valley, as we know.
He's got a wife.
He's friends with these guys,
so he's obviously a little bit of a up-to-no-good-er.
- Yeah.
- But it doesn't seem, it is true
that it doesn't quite fit the character.
- Yeah, because Leo in Django is a plantation,
you know what I mean?
- He's a slave owner.
- Yeah, slave owner, and he would say it.
- Yeah.
- But a guy that lives in Sherman Oaks.
- Also said.
- Right, a guy with Sherman Oaks, right?
Who has a, does he have a black wife?
- Yeah, Bonnie's black.
- Yes.
- Yeah, Bonnie's black.
- Yeah.
- So maybe that.
- Bill Burr?
- I don't know.
- I don't know.
- That's an interesting.
- Can Bill Burr say it?
- How about this?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I bet you he doesn't.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I bet he doesn't.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I understand the argument where you're like,
if things are called contextually for a character.
- Yeah.
- Yes.
- But that character wasn't really that.
- Right, right, right, right, right, right, right.
- Look, does she need to talk about it publicly?
No.
- Yeah.
- But also we've all thought it.
We've all been like, ooh, that was weird.
When he said it, you were like, whoa.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Because I have that sign outside of my house.
- Yeah.
- Like last night.
- That fits me.
- Yeah, but last night I saw Chappelle Lacey at Swingers,
right?
- He is always at Swingers.
- He's always there.
- He's there every night.
- He lives there, right.
- Every night.
- And he gets that chicken sandwich.
- Careful.
- No, I mean, it's not fried.
- Oh, okay.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not fried.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He gets that like, that, you know.
- I know.
- Grilled chicken.
- He gets the exact same one every night.
- Yeah, the same sandwich, he loves that sandwich.
- Every night.
- But it's as if, you know what I mean,
I said it to him last night.
- Why?
- No, what I'm saying is that in it-
- Why did you say it?
- I didn't say it.
Well, I didn't say it.
What I'm saying is, is that how casually he says it-
- Yes.
- You know, in the movie, right?
- Correct.
- Is like, even if you're with your black friend,
you wouldn't casually say that.
- No, you wouldn't.
- You wouldn't.
- No, you wouldn't.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You know where you would say-
- Yeah, you wanna say it, but you wouldn't casually do it.
- You wouldn't casually.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You know when you say it in front of your black friend?
- When?
- Never.
- Exactly.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, you never say it.
- Yeah, you don't.
- Yeah, you never say it.
- I got a fan, like a fan to my fan page.
Or is that or the girl that helps the book, the show?
- Go back, boys, go back.
- Sorry.
- Okay.
- I got an email through the team from like a fan or something.
- Go further, back.
- Okay.
- Kidding.
- My dad ran out on my mom and I-
- Okay, all right.
- No, I got an email from like a fan page thing or something.
And it is a request for you and I to perform at a wedding.
And now immediately I was like-
- There's no way.
- I'm not gonna perform at a wedding.
I'm not gonna perform at a wedding.
- I'm out.
- But how about this?
- I'm out.
- It's the royal family.
- Okay, I'm in.
- What do you mean?
- Yeah.
- No, but as I was-
- But Prince Andrew has to be there.
- It is.
It's his wedding.
It's his wedding.
- Oh, it's his wedding.
Okay.
- It is very weird.
They want us to perform at a wedding.
Clearly I'm like, no, we're not gonna perform at a wedding.
But the thought of it was so funny that you want this
beautiful, special moment.
I was just in my car laughing.
Like you want this beautiful, special moment
moment of you marrying your wife and Bobby and I doing bits.
You want us to do bits at the happiest moment of your life?
- Yeah.
- You want Bobby and I to do a Bobby Llama to your uncle?
Yeah.
- Yeah, there's just no way.
- No, never, but it did make me laugh.
'Cause it is where we get people to say,
can I propose to my wife at your show?
- Yeah.
- We did that all the time.
We let them propose.
But we've never been asked to do the wedding,
to perform at the wedding.
- Yeah.
Let me ask you this.
Last night, so you went up.
Then Allie went up.
- No, no, Allie-
- Went up after you.
- Yeah, I brought up Allie.
- And then Allie brought me up.
- Correct.
- Right.
And she brought me up.
Great intro, right?
- She always does.
- And you know how you tell a joke,
you know, when the guy, previous person, right?
She took it well, but some people don't.
- How do you think about that?
- It's all, what I did was, ladies and gentlemen,
Margaret Chell.
- Funny.
- Simple.
- Yeah.
- A simple, right?
She turned around, did a smirk.
Yeah, like, right?
And she took it well, right?
- Then went to the lot, and slashed her tires.
- Yeah, but I've given people, you know what I mean,
that, and they haven't talked to me for years.
- Well, it depends on the relationship.
- No, I've had great relationships with comics
where I said something like, I'm not afraid to say it,
but- - Do it.
- You know what I mean?
It wasn't even bad.
It was Argus Hamilton.
- Respect a legend.
- Legend, right?
Great hair today.
Something like, it was, it wasn't anything.
- Right.
- Right? You know what I mean?
Two years later, he's like,
I have a resentment towards you.
You know what I mean?
My hair looked good that night.
I was like, two years?
- He was feeling it.
- Yeah, yeah.
He was probably-
- How do you, I mean, do you say,
I mean, do you do a little slam slam?
- Uh-uh.
- You don't.
- Here's why, unless it's you, if it's like-
- Oh, you say crazy things.
- Well, but you're a friend.
It doesn't, I can't, you know what?
If it's a certain people, I'll do it.
But pretty rarely.
- Yeah.
- Like, because Marin and I went back and forth
for a little while, 'cause that fuckhead.
He'd give me an intro every time.
He'd be like, I tried to be friends with this guy.
We went hiking once.
He never wants to hike with me again.
I don't know if we'll, we'll probably never be friends.
Andrew Santino.
- That's still pretty good.
- And I'm like, thanks for the fucking-
- Yeah, but that's still pretty good
because it shows relationship.
- I know, but it's not even like a,
you're gonna like this guy.
It's like, here he is.
- Yeah.
- You got, I'd pump it up.
- You got Spade.
- Huh?
- You got Spade the other night.
- What did I say about Spade?
Oh, yeah.
- What'd you say?
- Yeah.
- What did you, what did you say?
What'd you say?
What'd you say?
What did you say?
- I was like, give it up for that guy.
- What did I say?
- He needs it.
- He needs it.
- That's C.
- It crushed.
- It crushed.
- But David loves that kind of stuff.
- He does.
He's great about stuff like that.
- There are certain people that enjoy it
'cause they kind of think it's fun.
He also, if you saw from,
he was holding me from going on stage.
- All right.
- You do.
- That's a fun bit.
- He stops me from getting on stage.
- It's a fun bit.
- And then he pretends he needs to like talk to me
or something.
And he's just making you wait longer.
And the host is going, get to the stage.
- And I don't know if it's for them
or the host suffering.
- It's both.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think you're having two people suffer.
- Yeah, it works.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because the host is always a newer comic
and they don't know what to do.
That's what I like.
- So they keep going.
- Yeah, yeah.
And then sometimes they'll look at the curtain.
See if anyone's back there, right?
They get really nervous.
- Yeah, they do.
- Yeah, yeah.
I do a one minute rule with Ramzi Badawi.
I go one minute.
- What does that mean?
- He doesn't get to go on stage for a minute
after his name is announced.
- One minute?
- One minute rule.
- Oh my God.
- It's the best.
- Does he tank?
That's...
- Yes.
- Why?
- It's a challenge.
- To dig out of that hole?
- Yeah, yeah.
You gotta learn.
- You throw him in the well?
- Yeah, you gotta throw him in the well, dude.
- Go get out.
- Yeah, Buffalo Bill style, dude.
- Put the lotion back in the basket.
- Yeah, the nails have to be in the wall, all right?
So what I do is I'll grab the wrist.
I apologize.
I know I realized when we Googled it
that wrist grabbing is bad.
I won't do it again, right?
But when I didn't know that, right,
I would grab his wrist.
I would close the green room door.
- Yeah.
- And I'll look right a minute
and he go, "Come on, Bob."
Right?
They're already clapping, bro.
- Yeah, they're waiting.
- Yeah, and how much more?
I go, "44, I have five more seconds."
- Oh my God.
- It's great.
- It's so uncomfortable.
- Yeah, and then I'll gradually open the door.
He'll run out there, right?
But sometimes he kills with it.
- 'Cause he uses it.
- 'Cause he tells the truth.
Bobby locked me in the room for a minute, right?
Yeah, he'll figure out a way.
- And that's gonna crush.
- Yeah, because they used to do that to me
when I was opening for people.
- Who did that?
- So I used to, I don't know,
but I've told this before.
I mean, I've told this before, but--
- Yeah, Mencia did it.
- Do you remember why though?
- No.
- Yeah, yeah.
- I used to have this bit where I would do my hair like this.
- Yeah.
- Right?
- Yeah.
- And I would go up on stage, right?
And I would, and just the look would be funny.
- Right.
- Right?
So people would just laugh and I would have like a,
I'd just stare at the audience like that, right?
For like 30 seconds, I'd go,
I'm not really Asian, I just woke up.
- That's a great bit.
- Dude.
- A bit crushed.
- Yeah.
- Back in the late '90s.
- Dude.
- Oh my God.
- Crutchville.
- Bring that back.
- Bring that back, right?
- That's so good.
- And then when Mencia said one night.
- What?
- He threw at me a hat.
He goes, you're not doing that bit again.
- Why?
- It's a crutch.
- It's a funny joke.
- I know, but he put, he threw me a hat.
- Because did you do it till open every show?
- Every show.
- Well, that's okay.
- Yeah, every show I would use it, right?
And he thought that it was not helping me, right?
And so he gave me a hat.
I would have to wear a hat and not do that bit.
- Okay, well, I get what he's doing.
- No, but he's trying to, it's about teaching.
- Yes, you're coaching.
- Yeah, yeah.
- 'Cause you gotta know, you gotta know.
It's good, but you gotta grow.
- Yeah.
And that anxiety.
I don't know what I'm teaching with the one minute.
I know that there's a lesson there somewhere.
I know there's a lesson there somewhere.
I just don't know what it is yet.
