Mister, I really have known. Why is he called mister beasts?
He doesn't seem beast, you know, he doesn't at all.

like extreme kind of dude.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
He's like, watch me sight the whine.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
It's like really crazy because like in the video he's
like he does it, not himself, of course.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
But.

Retaches guy's retinas.
Speaker 4 (02:12):

Nobody's like paying for it.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Oh I know that he like alternates doing like good
things and then like crazy things where it's like can
you stay in this room with a million bees for
a day?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Oh yeah, so that makes him a beast.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I think that's more beat.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
That's beast.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
You'll, yeah, mister beasting. That's why they pay me the big.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And that's why I'm missus beasts. Well, you're getting married

Speaker 4 (03:11):
You know what, mazzle, you know what girls eat?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I get it. I'm married married.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Challenge I marry is freaking nature. Okay, So the podcast
is called Bombing. It's about bombing.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
It's about bombing.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Surprise, surprise if you can actually believe it, and it
doesn't have to just be You don't have to tell
tales of bombing at a show. You can tell tales
of bombing in real life for some awkward time. But
do you have any stories of you bombing on stage?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Maybe episode.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I've had comedians on like that like, yeah, I don't
really bomb. I'm like that's and you're a sociopath or
you're so neurodivergent, you're like on on Saturn's rings. That
that can't be. That cannot be. That's like being like
a bat a professional basketball player, Like I've never missed
a single shot, Like what are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Yes, you have.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Sometimes when people say that, like comedians, and then I
see them perform and it's like or sometimes comedians will perform,
film the set and upload the set online and I go, Okay,
so not only did you not get any laughs in
the room which I can see on the video, but
you thought I'm gonna upload this entire set online because
(04:33):
you're not even thinking about the audience's reactions.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, they're not. They're never good comics. And b I
think they have like laugh blindness or something. I think
when they're on stage they're in such a heightened state
that they don't really but they're never.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
And if they think it's funny, then they're like crushed crush.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Maybe they think bombing means like booed off stage to
the extent where like tomatoes are being thrown versus just
getting no laughs. Me, I'm like I need to laugh
every joke, or I'm like, all right, I fall to pieces.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
I feel the same.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I can't I if I missed two in a row.
I'm like that set was a disaster. I'm I'm like
in the fetal position.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
I feel like the worst that I've ever bombed was
probably it was the first time I've ever performed not
in the US, and so.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I was like, where was it. It was in London.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I was like, what crazy country Guinea? It was literally London,
like Toronto, Canada.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Well, I just was like, oh wow, I guess like
things don't.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
It was interesting though, because before my set, I was
like going through all the things with the other comics,
being like, what do you call this here?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
What do you call this here? Was trying to like
translate it.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
It's like they have different words for things, or like
I have a joke about Target, they don't.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It's always the chains and the I'm like, oh fuck,
that jokerlies on pizza hut being the lunch line and
they don't have pizza huts.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Right, And so I it was is a lineup show,
and the host of the show was he's a really.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
I would say normal comedians like mister Beast. He's just
like mister Beat. He like gets up, he does crowd work, he.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Does guy yeah, Tom Hanks of comedy Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
And and there another guy on the lineup who was
like a weird.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Guy, and he didn't do so well. And I was like, well,
I'm fucked, like the alternative guy.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
The other weird guy is bombing, like this isn't going
to go so well. And I'll say, if I knew
what the vibe of the show was going to be,
I would have worn like a T shirt and jians.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
But it was just like a hair girl. I was.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
It's like, you know, shame on me because I was
wearing a turquoise jumpsuit and a right a white and
red checkered bow tie. I wanted to dress a little
wacky also because I have a whole bit about like
dressing wacky.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Oh sue me. I dressed like a big clown.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
And I definitely felt like as soon as everyone else
on the show T shirt, jeans.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Yeah, they just and also men right and wearing stuff
from like the Gap Clean yes.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
And so I think that immediately upon the eyes people
were confused. And when I did my first joke, which
like usually gets you know, big laugh, I'm like building
to the punchline and I get like actual silence. Yeah,
And I was like and I had a twenty minute.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Set and You're like this joke doesn't work.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I was like, oh fuck, Like.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Like I've been in those situations so many times where
I'm like, wow, if the A if the A material
doesn't work, I'm not going to be able to tap
dance into anything.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I actually think you should just leave.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I'm like, I kind of know why you want to,
but you want to get paid to.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
It was just this weird thing though, where was like
the first joke like not just like titters, like literally
like syless and drop, which I just was shocked at
because I've been doing this bit for a while and
it always gets a big laugh and I was just
was like, oh my god, I have twenty more the
minutes of this was the bit.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Too like American or something? Was it like you know
when you're in Mobile, Alabama and they're like hey or something?
Was it like it was very very American?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Or was it that American? I mean, unless Halloween is
specific to America, but I don't think it is. I
think so it was like I couldn't tell you, and
it was just like I was just like, oh, my
fucking god. So I go through the rest of my
set silence, silence, silence, bowing, moombing. My friend Joe was
there in the back and he said that during my
(08:48):
last joke he heard a guy turn to his friend and.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Go, what is he even going? And I the only time.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
They laughed was when I made fun of myself, and
I made fun of what I was wearing, because also,
don't forget turboise jumpsuit, big bow tie, giant bow tie.
The They really laughed when I said, by the way,
in America, everyone dresses like this.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Everyone.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
By the way, this is normal in America.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
They only laughed when, Yeah, when I made fun of myself,
and then yeah finished out the twenty minutes.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
I don't know how.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Longest, walked off stage, walked through the doors, walked into
the bathroom, into a stall closed to the door behind me,
just banged my head and.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I was just like, how how could it have gone
so wrong?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
And then I was like, Okay, I guess.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
I don't well the other laughs they were except the
other weird guy. He he also was having trouble. It's
usually when I'm on a show where I'm the weird guy. Yeah, yeah,
you know if everybody else is pretty normal and people
just show up thinking they're going to see like I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Who I'm trying to think of, like a normal cord like.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Right, you know, a normal guy.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
My other like times that I've bombs have also been
like one time I was booked on this show that
was at a youth hostel in Long Island City, which
I didn't even know there were hostels in New York.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
There's like two of them.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
And I showed up. It was in like the lobby
of a youth hostel.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I've done like almost the same exact.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Show, And as soon as I got there, I.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Was like, it was like the lobby of a youth
hostle in Harlem.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, and that was like no one spoke English.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
German tourists.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Yeah yeah, they all just looked at you like they
were smiling.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
They were happy to but they had no idea what
any of us were saying. So that was one of
the few shows where.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Why do we do this? I don't know ourselves that
point of that.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Sometimes there were just shows I would be booked on,
like when I was first starting in New York, where
it was just like I'd show up anywhere anyone told
me to show up, and you just assumed that when
someone else's running a show they are professional.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
No, they're crazy crazy, They're oblivious, idiotic, moron, crazy lunatics
that are like so disconnected from reality that they're like.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
The lobby of a hostel in Long Island.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
This is where we're going to do the show.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Comedy will just fucking blossom.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
It's really because you came up in New York.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Also, yeah, I heard Jerry Seinfeld. He goes, I won't
even do a show. He goes, I'll never do outside shows.
Nobody can pay attention. And he goes, I don't even
like doing shows where there's circular tables because fifty percent
of the audience has their back to Yeah, so think
about how sensitive comedy is as a medium. Where Jerry
Seinfeld at the top of comedy mountain is like, h
(11:46):
circular tables pass.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
So I never understand at comedy clubs they are all
at the circular tables and people are sitting like well
he means like.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Big wedding table like banking, not little like bar tops
like big ten seedter wedding tables. Because he's like, you
got five people at each table, like they're.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Like like this or this right.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
So that's not conducive. Comedy outside is not conducive. I
did a concert before, like a like a want to
be knockoff Coachella, where I had to host and bring
up all the bands, so it was like a ten
hour set and it was uncomedyable.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Yeah. Well it's like everybody's looking every round.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
So yeah, everybody's looking around, there's noise everywhere, everybody's on
tons of drugs. It's boiling. It was like really hot.
So people were just like on like whatever Ketemie and Rabatussa,
I'm like waiting for you know, Danny Brown and Idols
to play or whoever, and there are other bands.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Playing and so many distractions.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
They're just like, uh, you can't be like, hey, what's
the deal with the new iPhone update?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
And that's your new and that's my only bet that
was what's the iPhone out dated?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
You have to write one every time.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
There's a new update, every update, like crash on it
and the iOS.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
People, Hello, Tim Cook, please.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Have you seen the new oj.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
So you know, Tim Cook went back after the inauguration,
he went to the other headhunches at apples like should
we get rid of our DEI initiative? And they were like, no,
that's like completely inappropriate that you would even ask that,
like should we stop hiring black people? Is that what
you're kind of saying? Like Mark Zuckerberg was liked, no
fucking problem, whatever, whatever, But I like it that everybody
(13:46):
at Apple was like, no, man's right.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
It's so crazy that the president can just be like,
no more of that and then everyone just does it.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
It's like, what do you think he's gonna do to you?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
It's well, they're like puppeteering him. It's like this billionaire
play where like Elon Musk like in his brain is
the pro He's the guy that.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Pen pals back of its fourteen hundred something.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Really silly happened to me where I everyone was like
talking to me about like and can you believe what
Elon Musk is doing and all this stuff? And I
was like, why have I not seen anything about him?
Like I feel like I miss I was like, are
they like not reporting on it? And it's like word
of mouth? And then I realized that I had his
name muted, his account muted any like iteration because when
(14:38):
he bought Twitter everyone was tweeting about him so much.
I was just like shut up, like I can't hear
about it anymore. And he was like made all of
his tweets the top of everybody's feed, and so I
had just muted him across everything, and then I was like, wow,
people really low key fell off man.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
He's he's he's doing like press junks in the Oval
office and Trump's just sitting there like like clearly doesn't
want the job, just didn't want to go to jail.
So like, Trump's I got the job. He hates again,
but he's too narcissistic to like say no to it.
So he's like and he's too good at campaigning. He's like, hey,
you want French fries, I'm work at McDonald's now. America's
(15:18):
like he's like, I'm giving out bold shoes. And he's
too good at campaigning because he's a stand up comic
with no jokes. He loves touring, so he loves He's
really good. He loves touring. He's great at campaigning to Americans,
talk about.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
A dude who doesn't bomb never never.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
He's so good at campaigning and now he's got the
job I got. He's like oh yeah, fuck I hate this. Yeah, Elon,
you want to take it away?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
And then Elon's kid was in the Oval office talking
ship to Trump terry thing.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
He's like, you're ugly, go away. You shuck all the
ship And Trump's like, oh yeah, take it away, dude.
Planes are falling out of the sky.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
He's like, got the SAAE, He's got the FAA. The
guy that ran the FAD quit day one. He's like,
fuck Trump. And then like then like Eli's like, I'll
use all that buddy, just like got the planes are
like ship. I just watched the Delta fucking like crash
(16:19):
upside out. It was like, god, ship, we needed that money.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Comebo. That was such a disaster.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
The first few days.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
It was like a plane crash every day.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
It was like it was a military helicopter into a
plane in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
The most it should be the most regulated aviation, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's like the military in Washington, d C with a
plane in Washington, d C. Like they should have like
the most FAA eyeballs on him. And it was just
like come But then Trump's like, yeah, you just should
have hired black people. I was like we're black.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
People were like, was it the in a diversity thing?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
It was like were the pilots diverse or the helicopter
guy or the what do you mean?
Speaker 4 (17:08):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
He's like, I don't know, man, and he's like, it's
also Biden's fault. We're like, you're dune campaigning.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
You won. You don't got to talk about Biden anymore.
You're in charge.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
He's dead.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Biden died twenty years ago. Jim Carrey is playing him.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Jim Carrey is Joe Biden. Wait Wood was.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Love that that was reality. It was like somebody like me.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
With Adrey, with Adre.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
More bombing stories as stories.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I mean, well sort of we we bombed on the network.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
I'd say, oh, yeah, it was pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
What do you mean? I never asked for ratings? Do
you know that?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
It was always told that. I was like, don't tell me.
I was like, tell me, you forget another season, but
I don't tell me anything else.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
It wasn't so much about the ratings as much as
it was we were the first women on the network,
our first female show on the network, right, and.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
The audience just like kind of wanted us dead.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Like Reddit people like internet audience or what do you mean?
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Yeah, like internet like any time.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I don't think Internet audience is real anymore.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
It's like I know, but they would certainly find ways
to send messages and.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Leave comments that were not so really not so naise.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Really.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
It was like before the show even happened.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Oh, we got like lumped in with like one million
dollar Extreme got canceled.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Do you remember the show was like right wing sexist
broke like eight Channers.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
It was like around the same time that that happened.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
So it's like angry eight chan energy you got like
kicked over to you guys.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
The one thing that someone said where they saw a
photo of the three of us and they called us
the Mexican, the Jewish, and Lago Blina And we were like, okay,
who's who. Like we were all like, well, I'm definitely
go Blina. All were convinced that we were Logo Blina.
(19:29):
But yeah, I still if whoever left that comment, if
you could let us know who was who, that would
be really great.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Yeah, but is that like the time to just like
turn off comments? And it was like they just people
yell at me about ship on an Instagram post that
I don't only think it is offensive. And then not
a single person in real life will come up to
me and be like, you posted that, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Like it's like, yeah, well it was like the first
time we ever had anyone really paying attention to us.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
So I think we didn't.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Know it an extra sensitivity because you're like, oh, I'll
look at what the feedback is.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
It would just be like anytime Adult Swim posted anything.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
About I didn't know you guys were getting.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Yeah, just a lot of like women aren't funny, people
work like swastikas in there.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You could, Yeah, I have to worry about them.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Actually, you know what, one hurt? This one hurt. Okay,
So one time I was looking on at because of
course it was like the first time that I was
just like, oh, what are people saying?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I did the same thing too season one aeric on Show,
and I quickly quickly pivoted in my approach.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Massive mistake.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
But I remember seeing a comment from a guy that
I knew who was just like I know Sandy and
we had worked together like years ago, and I was.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Like, oh, it's like so sweet like he was.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
And then the next video he also commented women aren't
funny on us?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
And I was like I almost sent him a message,
and then I was like, don't do it, don't do it,
don't do it.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
But it hurt coming from someone that I literally I
was like, used to sleep on the floor of my room.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
No, that's crazy, really.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Not so nice. Why why do female comedians have it
so rough?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
People are like chauvinists just like can't stand that women
have an opinion?
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Is it? Is it?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Like I heard Judy Gold break it down one time.
She's like, comedy means you have a point of view,
an opinion, and there's billions of men that are like
don't you, can't you? Yeah, it's deeper than just women
aren't funny.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
It's like right, it's like women aren't funny, slash like
women don't understand how the.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
World works or aren't allowed to have a point of
viewer a pair or worldview.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Well, I also feel that, like I don't know when
I think about like people who say that kind of stuff,
they usually probably have wives who they hate, or they
wives where they don't have wives, And like maybe it's
this thing of like they think of women as just
like these like nagging shrews. And so they're like, you
(22:12):
don't get to laugh, Like you're the one who's shaking
your finger.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Or their mom.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Probably they're like, you don't get to laugh. Laughing is
for me. Laughing is for me and my friends while
we were off next to each other.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
But you yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
They should have at the comedy store a little room
called the goon Room where the women can perform in
the in the audience.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Well, I do remember recently I drove by the Improv
and I remember seeing a sign that said.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
On Mondays, the.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Ladies get the laughs. And in my head, I was like,
the worst day of the week.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
To do a show? Girls can go on Monday.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Have to perform on the weekend.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Any other day, just Monday, Please please, I'm begging to
perform on a Monday night. What do you think is
the worst day of the week to do a show.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I weirdly feel like Sunday might be even worse. People
are like.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Spent from the weekend partying and they're dreading the week.
They have the Sunday scaries and they're like checked out.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Every other day. Monday is not great. Tuesday it feels good.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
It gets better the closer you get to the weekend,
but then wednes dips again. Yeah, well Wednesday's hump day.
You're like, you're in the taint of the week.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
I think Wenday's hump day time.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
With a Regodrey with a Regodrey.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
What about bombing in front of your face at a
story like that.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Of my family? Honestly, have you been.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Really high on stage or something?
Speaker 4 (24:07):
At the Youth Hostel show.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I got really high because I.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Just I looked at the audience and I was like
what I literally was like whatever, Like I know that
these people literally are looking at me with the eyes
of someone who is hearing sounds but not interpreting words.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Does that make sense? Like hither?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Yeah, And they were just looking at me where they
were like And it was like, oh, okay, Like I'm
going to go get like rip roaring stoned before this
because I kind of don't want to like be present
for the kind of I want to be somewhere else.
So I did get pretty high before that when I
have no recollection of like what I said or did.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
I probably just.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Talked to people, Yeah, probably did the right thing.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Yeah, it was like, oh, I'm going to get up
and like tell my rehearse jokes.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
No, I think you did the right thing in London
when you just started like making fun of like your
outfit that at that point you're like, why why do
my rehearse material?
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
You guys are clearly hating.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, just started digging into them.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, that's what already Fuqua said, he goes, when I
start bombing, I just start ripping into each and every
audience member.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Because there's like what else is there?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Like they don't want what I'm selling, so might as
well just like go in and Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
I did have a show actually at that same venue
in London after that one. It was crazy because I
did the same show two days later with a different
host and crushed and it was a smaller audience, but
it was like the host was like a queer cabaret dude.
So it was just like a different audience that seemed
a little more down.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I think like if you go to a R and
B show and a punk band plays, they're only going
to go so do so well Yeah, so it's like,
you know, I just remember it a big stinker.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
So opening for a band is one of the worst experience.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
It's Sarah does it? I know, I don't know how
she's She's getting like good at it too. It's like
I think it's the hardest thing, to the point where
I was just like I give up.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
Yeah, this was one that standing for I forget that
that music shows. People don't show up at the time
of the show because they know the headliner goes on
like two hours later. So I was expecting to walk
out and see a full This is that lodge room.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
It's like a.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Pretty big room, and I was like, Okay, I'm gonna
walk out and there's gonna be like this big crowd.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Not at all.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
People were absolutely trickling in And I was doing a
character that I call the Quief of comedy, which is.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
I can quef on command, so you.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Can throw up on command too, which is like amazing.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yeah, it's like those guys.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Can't even do Yeah, Like I think only Steve O
possesses your like you can read vomit.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
No, I really can't. That's pretty crazy, even when I
don't want to.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Vomiting that command is somehow even more impressive.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
But comedy, I was doing the Queen of comedy, which
is that you just put.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
The microphone to your Vaginay is that it.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Well, it's like I'm telling jokes as well.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
It'll be like these corny, corny, corny jokes that I write.
Actually some of them are the band It was Hunks
and His Punks.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Do you know Seth Bogart.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
He's an amazing artist and he has this like punk
band that they like they used to perform like ten
years ago and they're doing another.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Album. So they did a show.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
This was like some point over the summer, and he
specifically requested the Quief of Comedy because he loves her,
And a lot of the jokes actually are rejected monologue
jokes that I wrote for your show no Way, because
it was like you know, when we just sit down
and write for ten minutes.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
It's like the worst jokes you can think of.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
They were so bad they didn't even make it into
the So it's like that level of joke. And then
after like.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
And I can I have a lot of control over it.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
I can control like if it's like a loud one
or if it's like a quiet.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Like so I'll like jump around.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
So we were walking into the venue, what did you
see the Hunks of Punks or whatever?
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Yeah, and they're seeing that and also it was like,
so you just.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Look like you were a roadie for the band lost
your mind because.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
You know, people were looking at me just like.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
They were laughing, because like you can't sort of watch
that and not be laughing.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
But I don't know if they knew that they were
laughing thing with we were at me?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah and whatever.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
That was like the one time performing where I really
felt like I was like in a circus side show,
like it was The Weeping Woman. Oh my god, I
would have loved to be in the side show.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Like a world Like what do you mean like a circus,
like a circus freaking kind of like like you wanted
to be genetically deformed?
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Really, but like like elevant or what are we talking here?
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I guess just the concept of it sounds you know,
it's it's obviously probably really bad.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
It's explained genetic defects.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Yeah years ago.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Oh they're like yeah, repetties and because he's got a
fun and arm growing out.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Of the space, Yeah sick. I would have been sick.
I don't know what.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
In my head, I was like, well, you get to
go to you get to be part of the circuits,
travel the world, see the sites weep into a microphone,
keep into the microphone.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
You know what I think Sarah figured out that's smart
is that she uses the big screen behind her, and
you know, because those those music shows, it's like it's
like it's like you gotta think about it, like you're
shooting in a really wide frame, like you have to
fill up the space.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
And using that screen and.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Her visuals that I was like, Aha, that's how she
did because Hannibal kind of started doing that too. He
was like using multimedia, Like that's the way, that's the way,
using that screen. I don't think it's cheating at all.
I'd like, first of all, I love carrat top and
I don't know anybody made fun of him in the nineties,
Like I was like.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
By the way, I was like, yeah, prop comedy, like
why not use props?
Speaker 4 (30:48):
And his number one fan like I used.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Props on the air Andre show, like make props, use
the prop? Why is that?
Speaker 4 (30:53):
It was also a literal genius.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
He I saw his show in Vegas and oh my god,
he like us come backstage. I was with Sarah actually,
and we like he just talked to him for like
an hour and he just was like telling us. He
writes like five minutes of new material every day.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Every day. He has a ton, a tremendous amount of material.
He's been doing it for forty.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Years and like worth like hundreds of millions of dollars
and then playing Vegas every day for I love that years. Honestly,
you got to give it up.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
You've got to give it perseverance.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Because he got so shipped on in the nineties. I know, comedy,
that's whag character fucking carrot. That's a rough name to
like have you know, it's an easy guy to pick up.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
He had gone by Scott, maybe he would.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Scott, I would have been a little less of a pounding,
but like whatever, make props, Like what why are there rules?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Like maybe people laugh? Gives a fuck.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
I'm actually working on a set that is like a
prop thing, and I'm like really excited.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Because i I'm actually like, why don't I do prop
comedy anytime?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Like like why not? He Also, when I watched Sarah
and Hand some.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Of Hannibal's multimedia stuff, I'm like, yeah, use the whole stage,
Like what is this vaudeville?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Like, gives a fuck? We're in the twenty first century.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
I know.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Sometimes people would be like oh, like doing a PowerPoint
is hack or whatever.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
And I'm like, is the audience laughing?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Is the audience laughing?
Speaker 4 (32:17):
That's all that matters.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Here's what the medium.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
All that matters, is the.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Audience that matters. You know what those people are. They're
not successful, they're not that funny say that. They are haters.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
They're haters.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
They're fucking haters.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So that's the problem with comedy.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
It's like surrounded by bitterer, entitled people with personality disorders.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
It's rough.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
It's rough, man. I thought it'd be more fun when
I started comedy. I was like, Oh, it's gonna be
a group of the most fun people ever.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
And it's misery everywhere.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Bidder, so much bigger, mad at the world, sometimes mad
in a way where it's like they don't even know
what they're mad at. Some of these comics. Yeah, they
like hate everything, shit on everything.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
But they're really sensitive and.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
If you say anything that is like slightly degrading to them,
they are like, how fucking dare you? And it's like
I thought we were like joking around. And the whole
thing is that you think everything sucks.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I know it, Well, well, you want to wrap it
up or it's another bomb. Did I step on the
rest of your queen story?
Speaker 5 (33:20):
No, that was basically it. Someone got mad at me
when I did that bit once because I had a
joke in it, like towards the end that like my
mom was dying and then it was like basically her
dying words were and then I queef again.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
And this person you know, it takes a week to recoup.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
But no, there was a point where I was doing
it a lot right after COVID. It was like the
first bit that I did because I was a little
too afraid to do stand up again after COVID.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Oh, I think you meant after the Cleeves, I was
too abady.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
To do I just like after COVID was like.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Yeah, I haven't really got back to it. Yeah, I did,
like your show. Once I bombed. I did Steph tolev show,
which was bossouf because she stayed on stage with me
and like riffed so like I couldn't bomb, Like if
I had a joke that was so so she would
just go and like save it from and her audience
(34:26):
just loves her. And I did Michael Michael Jay's show.
He wouldn't let me not go on. I was like, no, no,
I'm just coming here and hang out. He goes, you're
going on, and I go, nah, I don't do stand
up anymore. He goes, yeah, you do, and I go, nah,
really I haven't. He goes, you're coming out, and then
he just walked out. He goes, ladies and gentlemen, I
have a special guest, Haeric Conjry. He like forced me out,
but he's like, I'll stay on stage with you and
(34:46):
I won't let you suffer. So then like him and
Wilson Vans came out and like they helped me. Like
that's pretty much the three shows I've done since, but
not Eric Andre Show tour. Like all the media stuff
like stand up.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
Stand up is like I don't know, like I have
the motivation to do anymore. I'm struggling to find it
at this point because like I'm not really working towards
an hour necessarily.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
I don't really like have the drive to do that.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
So then it's then hard to be like, Okay, I'll
do like ten minutes on this random show.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
But then I feel a little.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
Bit like to what end, I feel like I've lost
the point, lost the pot, you.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Know, same, I want to get back into it. But
if I'm working on other stuff all day, or writing
or thinking of brainstorming other stuff all day, or actually shooting,
I don't really feel like blabbing into a microphone.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Right.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
It's also gotten to a point where it's like, if
you have a show that doesn't feel amazing, you're sort
of like, why did I put myself through this?
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Like if it feels okay, that to me feels like
similar to bombing.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Yeah, it's just like unless I'm walking away being like
I fucking us, I'm so funny, like you know, it's
like otherwise I'm like, what did I put Like why
am I putting myself through so much anxiety?
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (36:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
So at night I have trouble sleeping, so I don't
want to like rev up my adrenaline at night.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Yeah, it doesn't feel healthy.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
When I did that Vice show with Zach and Tony, Yes,
at this show, we were.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Together when it got canceled. I was in your writer's room, right,
you and me and Zach were there.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
That filmed at eleven at night, and for the first
while it was a two hour long show, so I
wouldn't get to bed until I don't even know what time.
And I was like so like stimulated from doing it.
It was like really really tough on my sleep.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Ladies and gentleman Sandy. We did it.

entertainment business.

I only watched one of his videos, which is when
he restores sight.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
To the blind.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
He's like, but he like does it in this way
where he's like he's like patting.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Himself on the back of little well. I know, I
don't know too much about him. I don't want to
talk about him a lovely guy.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I know he's an absolutely lovely guy.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Mister, I really have known. Why is he called mister beasts?
He doesn't seem beast, you know, he doesn't at all.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
He should be called mister regular guys. I thought he
was like, dude, I'm about to drink my blood. Bro
like extreme kind of dude.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
He's like, watch me sight the whine.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
It's like really crazy because like in the video he's
like he does it, not himself, of course.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
But.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Retaches guy's retinas.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It's pretty wild.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Med school in six weeks. Let's see if I get
retached that.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I'm a bit of a beast when it comes to
the fucking restore carrying glock.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Wait, what does he do does he just hang by the.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Doctor that does like chills there, and then he like
interviews the people who are.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Really doing anything.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Nobody's like paying for it.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Oh I know that he like alternates doing like good
things and then like crazy things where it's like can
you stay in this room with a million bees for
a day?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Oh yeah, so that makes him a beast.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I think that's more beat.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
That's beast.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
You'll, yeah, mister beasting. That's why they pay me the big.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And that's why I'm missus beasts. Well, you're getting married
to the guy.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
You know what, mazzle, you know what girls eat?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I get it. I'm married married.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Challenge I marry is freaking nature. Okay, So the podcast
is called Bombing. It's about bombing.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
It's about bombing.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Surprise, surprise if you can actually believe it, and it
doesn't have to just be You don't have to tell
tales of bombing at a show. You can tell tales
of bombing in real life for some awkward time. But
do you have any stories of you bombing on stage?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Maybe episode.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I've had comedians on like that like, yeah, I don't
really bomb. I'm like that's and you're a sociopath or
you're so neurodivergent, you're like on on Saturn's rings. That
that can't be. That cannot be. That's like being like
a bat a professional basketball player, Like I've never missed
a single shot, Like what are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Yes, you have.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Sometimes when people say that, like comedians, and then I
see them perform and it's like or sometimes comedians will perform,
film the set and upload the set online and I go, Okay,
so not only did you not get any laughs in
the room which I can see on the video, but
you thought I'm gonna upload this entire set online because
(04:33):
you're not even thinking about the audience's reactions.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, they're not. They're never good comics. And b I
think they have like laugh blindness or something. I think
when they're on stage they're in such a heightened state
that they don't really but they're never.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
And if they think it's funny, then they're like crushed crush.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Maybe they think bombing means like booed off stage to
the extent where like tomatoes are being thrown versus just
getting no laughs. Me, I'm like I need to laugh
every joke, or I'm like, all right, I fall to pieces.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
I feel the same.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I can't I if I missed two in a row.
I'm like that set was a disaster. I'm I'm like
in the fetal position.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
I feel like the worst that I've ever bombed was
probably it was the first time I've ever performed not
in the US, and so.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I was like, where was it. It was in London.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I was like, what crazy country Guinea? It was literally London,
like Toronto, Canada.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Well, I just was like, oh wow, I guess like
things don't.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
It was interesting though, because before my set, I was
like going through all the things with the other comics,
being like, what do you call this here?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
What do you call this here? Was trying to like
translate it.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
It's like they have different words for things, or like
I have a joke about Target, they don't.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It's always the chains and the I'm like, oh fuck,
that jokerlies on pizza hut being the lunch line and
they don't have pizza huts.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Right, And so I it was is a lineup show,
and the host of the show was he's a really.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
I would say normal comedians like mister Beast. He's just
like mister Beat. He like gets up, he does crowd work, he.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Does guy yeah, Tom Hanks of comedy Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
And and there another guy on the lineup who was
like a weird.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Guy, and he didn't do so well. And I was like, well,
I'm fucked, like the alternative guy.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
The other weird guy is bombing, like this isn't going
to go so well. And I'll say, if I knew
what the vibe of the show was going to be,
I would have worn like a T shirt and jians.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
But it was just like a hair girl. I was.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
It's like, you know, shame on me because I was
wearing a turquoise jumpsuit and a right a white and
red checkered bow tie. I wanted to dress a little
wacky also because I have a whole bit about like
dressing wacky.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Oh sue me. I dressed like a big clown.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
And I definitely felt like as soon as everyone else
on the show T shirt, jeans.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Yeah, they just and also men right and wearing stuff
from like the Gap Clean yes.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
And so I think that immediately upon the eyes people
were confused. And when I did my first joke, which
like usually gets you know, big laugh, I'm like building
to the punchline and I get like actual silence. Yeah,
And I was like and I had a twenty minute.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Set and You're like this joke doesn't work.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I was like, oh fuck, Like.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Like I've been in those situations so many times where
I'm like, wow, if the A if the A material
doesn't work, I'm not going to be able to tap
dance into anything.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I actually think you should just leave.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I'm like, I kind of know why you want to,
but you want to get paid to.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
It was just this weird thing though, where was like
the first joke like not just like titters, like literally
like syless and drop, which I just was shocked at
because I've been doing this bit for a while and
it always gets a big laugh and I was just
was like, oh my god, I have twenty more the
minutes of this was the bit.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Too like American or something? Was it like you know
when you're in Mobile, Alabama and they're like hey or something?
Was it like it was very very American?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Or was it that American? I mean, unless Halloween is
specific to America, but I don't think it is. I
think so it was like I couldn't tell you, and
it was just like I was just like, oh, my
fucking god. So I go through the rest of my
set silence, silence, silence, bowing, moombing. My friend Joe was
there in the back and he said that during my
(08:48):
last joke he heard a guy turn to his friend and.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Go, what is he even going? And I the only time.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
They laughed was when I made fun of myself, and
I made fun of what I was wearing, because also,
don't forget turboise jumpsuit, big bow tie, giant bow tie.
The They really laughed when I said, by the way,
in America, everyone dresses like this.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Everyone.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
By the way, this is normal in America.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
They only laughed when, Yeah, when I made fun of myself,
and then yeah finished out the twenty minutes.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
I don't know how.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Longest, walked off stage, walked through the doors, walked into
the bathroom, into a stall closed to the door behind me,
just banged my head and.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I was just like, how how could it have gone
so wrong?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
And then I was like, Okay, I guess.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
I don't well the other laughs they were except the
other weird guy. He he also was having trouble. It's
usually when I'm on a show where I'm the weird guy. Yeah, yeah,
you know if everybody else is pretty normal and people
just show up thinking they're going to see like I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Who I'm trying to think of, like a normal cord like.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Right, you know, a normal guy.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
My other like times that I've bombs have also been
like one time I was booked on this show that
was at a youth hostel in Long Island City, which
I didn't even know there were hostels in New York.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
There's like two of them.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
And I showed up. It was in like the lobby
of a youth hostel.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I've done like almost the same exact.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Show, And as soon as I got there, I.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Was like, it was like the lobby of a youth
hostle in Harlem.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, and that was like no one spoke English.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
German tourists.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Yeah yeah, they all just looked at you like they
were smiling.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
They were happy to but they had no idea what
any of us were saying. So that was one of
the few shows where.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Why do we do this? I don't know ourselves that
point of that.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Sometimes there were just shows I would be booked on,
like when I was first starting in New York, where
it was just like I'd show up anywhere anyone told
me to show up, and you just assumed that when
someone else's running a show they are professional.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
No, they're crazy crazy, They're oblivious, idiotic, moron, crazy lunatics
that are like so disconnected from reality that they're like.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
The lobby of a hostel in Long Island.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
This is where we're going to do the show.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Comedy will just fucking blossom.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
It's really because you came up in New York.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Also, yeah, I heard Jerry Seinfeld. He goes, I won't
even do a show. He goes, I'll never do outside shows.
Nobody can pay attention. And he goes, I don't even
like doing shows where there's circular tables because fifty percent
of the audience has their back to Yeah, so think
about how sensitive comedy is as a medium. Where Jerry
Seinfeld at the top of comedy mountain is like, h
(11:46):
circular tables pass.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
So I never understand at comedy clubs they are all
at the circular tables and people are sitting like well
he means like.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Big wedding table like banking, not little like bar tops
like big ten seedter wedding tables. Because he's like, you
got five people at each table, like they're.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Like like this or this right.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
So that's not conducive. Comedy outside is not conducive. I
did a concert before, like a like a want to
be knockoff Coachella, where I had to host and bring
up all the bands, so it was like a ten
hour set and it was uncomedyable.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Yeah. Well it's like everybody's looking every round.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
So yeah, everybody's looking around, there's noise everywhere, everybody's on
tons of drugs. It's boiling. It was like really hot.
So people were just like on like whatever Ketemie and Rabatussa,
I'm like waiting for you know, Danny Brown and Idols
to play or whoever, and there are other bands.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Playing and so many distractions.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
They're just like, uh, you can't be like, hey, what's
the deal with the new iPhone update?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
And that's your new and that's my only bet that
was what's the iPhone out dated?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
You have to write one every time.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
There's a new update, every update, like crash on it
and the iOS.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
People, Hello, Tim Cook, please.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Have you seen the new oj.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
So you know, Tim Cook went back after the inauguration,
he went to the other headhunches at apples like should
we get rid of our DEI initiative? And they were like, no,
that's like completely inappropriate that you would even ask that,
like should we stop hiring black people? Is that what
you're kind of saying? Like Mark Zuckerberg was liked, no
fucking problem, whatever, whatever, But I like it that everybody
(13:46):
at Apple was like, no, man's right.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
It's so crazy that the president can just be like,
no more of that and then everyone just does it.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
It's like, what do you think he's gonna do to you?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
It's well, they're like puppeteering him. It's like this billionaire
play where like Elon Musk like in his brain is
the pro He's the guy that.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Pen pals back of its fourteen hundred something.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Really silly happened to me where I everyone was like
talking to me about like and can you believe what
Elon Musk is doing and all this stuff? And I
was like, why have I not seen anything about him?
Like I feel like I miss I was like, are
they like not reporting on it? And it's like word
of mouth? And then I realized that I had his
name muted, his account muted any like iteration because when
(14:38):
he bought Twitter everyone was tweeting about him so much.
I was just like shut up, like I can't hear
about it anymore. And he was like made all of
his tweets the top of everybody's feed, and so I
had just muted him across everything, and then I was like, wow,
people really low key fell off man.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
He's he's he's doing like press junks in the Oval
office and Trump's just sitting there like like clearly doesn't
want the job, just didn't want to go to jail.
So like, Trump's I got the job. He hates again,
but he's too narcissistic to like say no to it.
So he's like and he's too good at campaigning. He's like, hey,
you want French fries, I'm work at McDonald's now. America's
(15:18):
like he's like, I'm giving out bold shoes. And he's
too good at campaigning because he's a stand up comic
with no jokes. He loves touring, so he loves He's
really good. He loves touring. He's great at campaigning to Americans,
talk about.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
A dude who doesn't bomb never never.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
He's so good at campaigning and now he's got the
job I got. He's like oh yeah, fuck I hate this. Yeah, Elon,
you want to take it away?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
And then Elon's kid was in the Oval office talking
ship to Trump terry thing.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
He's like, you're ugly, go away. You shuck all the
ship And Trump's like, oh yeah, take it away, dude.
Planes are falling out of the sky.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
He's like, got the SAAE, He's got the FAA. The
guy that ran the FAD quit day one. He's like,
fuck Trump. And then like then like Eli's like, I'll
use all that buddy, just like got the planes are
like ship. I just watched the Delta fucking like crash
(16:19):
upside out. It was like, god, ship, we needed that money.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Comebo. That was such a disaster.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
The first few days.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
It was like a plane crash every day.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
It was like it was a military helicopter into a
plane in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
The most it should be the most regulated aviation, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's like the military in Washington, d C with a
plane in Washington, d C. Like they should have like
the most FAA eyeballs on him. And it was just
like come But then Trump's like, yeah, you just should
have hired black people. I was like we're black.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
People were like, was it the in a diversity thing?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
It was like were the pilots diverse or the helicopter
guy or the what do you mean?
Speaker 4 (17:08):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
He's like, I don't know, man, and he's like, it's
also Biden's fault. We're like, you're dune campaigning.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
You won. You don't got to talk about Biden anymore.
You're in charge.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
He's dead.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Biden died twenty years ago. Jim Carrey is playing him.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Jim Carrey is Joe Biden. Wait Wood was.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Love that that was reality. It was like somebody like me.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
With Adrey, with Adre.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
More bombing stories as stories.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I mean, well sort of we we bombed on the network.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
I'd say, oh, yeah, it was pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
What do you mean? I never asked for ratings? Do
you know that?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
It was always told that. I was like, don't tell me.
I was like, tell me, you forget another season, but
I don't tell me anything else.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
It wasn't so much about the ratings as much as
it was we were the first women on the network,
our first female show on the network, right, and.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
The audience just like kind of wanted us dead.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Like Reddit people like internet audience or what do you mean?
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Yeah, like internet like any time.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I don't think Internet audience is real anymore.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
It's like I know, but they would certainly find ways
to send messages and.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Leave comments that were not so really not so naise.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Really.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
It was like before the show even happened.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Oh, we got like lumped in with like one million
dollar Extreme got canceled.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Do you remember the show was like right wing sexist
broke like eight Channers.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
It was like around the same time that that happened.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
So it's like angry eight chan energy you got like
kicked over to you guys.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
The one thing that someone said where they saw a
photo of the three of us and they called us
the Mexican, the Jewish, and Lago Blina And we were like, okay,
who's who. Like we were all like, well, I'm definitely
go Blina. All were convinced that we were Logo Blina.
(19:29):
But yeah, I still if whoever left that comment, if
you could let us know who was who, that would
be really great.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Yeah, but is that like the time to just like
turn off comments? And it was like they just people
yell at me about ship on an Instagram post that
I don't only think it is offensive. And then not
a single person in real life will come up to
me and be like, you posted that, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Like it's like, yeah, well it was like the first
time we ever had anyone really paying attention to us.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
So I think we didn't.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Know it an extra sensitivity because you're like, oh, I'll
look at what the feedback is.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
It would just be like anytime Adult Swim posted anything.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
About I didn't know you guys were getting.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Yeah, just a lot of like women aren't funny, people
work like swastikas in there.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You could, Yeah, I have to worry about them.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Actually, you know what, one hurt? This one hurt. Okay,
So one time I was looking on at because of
course it was like the first time that I was
just like, oh, what are people saying?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I did the same thing too season one aeric on Show,
and I quickly quickly pivoted in my approach.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Massive mistake.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
But I remember seeing a comment from a guy that
I knew who was just like I know Sandy and
we had worked together like years ago, and I was.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Like, oh, it's like so sweet like he was.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
And then the next video he also commented women aren't
funny on us?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
And I was like I almost sent him a message,
and then I was like, don't do it, don't do it,
don't do it.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
But it hurt coming from someone that I literally I
was like, used to sleep on the floor of my room.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
No, that's crazy, really.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Not so nice. Why why do female comedians have it
so rough?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
People are like chauvinists just like can't stand that women
have an opinion?
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Is it? Is it?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Like I heard Judy Gold break it down one time.
She's like, comedy means you have a point of view,
an opinion, and there's billions of men that are like
don't you, can't you? Yeah, it's deeper than just women
aren't funny.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
It's like right, it's like women aren't funny, slash like
women don't understand how the.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
World works or aren't allowed to have a point of
viewer a pair or worldview.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Well, I also feel that, like I don't know when
I think about like people who say that kind of stuff,
they usually probably have wives who they hate, or they
wives where they don't have wives, And like maybe it's
this thing of like they think of women as just
like these like nagging shrews. And so they're like, you
(22:12):
don't get to laugh, Like you're the one who's shaking
your finger.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Or their mom.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Probably they're like, you don't get to laugh. Laughing is
for me. Laughing is for me and my friends while
we were off next to each other.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
But you yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
They should have at the comedy store a little room
called the goon Room where the women can perform in
the in the audience.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Well, I do remember recently I drove by the Improv
and I remember seeing a sign that said.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
On Mondays, the.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Ladies get the laughs. And in my head, I was like,
the worst day of the week.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
To do a show? Girls can go on Monday.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Have to perform on the weekend.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Any other day, just Monday, Please please, I'm begging to
perform on a Monday night. What do you think is
the worst day of the week to do a show.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I weirdly feel like Sunday might be even worse. People
are like.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Spent from the weekend partying and they're dreading the week.
They have the Sunday scaries and they're like checked out.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Every other day. Monday is not great. Tuesday it feels good.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
It gets better the closer you get to the weekend,
but then wednes dips again. Yeah, well Wednesday's hump day.
You're like, you're in the taint of the week.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
I think Wenday's hump day time.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
With a Regodrey with a Regodrey.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
What about bombing in front of your face at a
story like that.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Of my family? Honestly, have you been.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Really high on stage or something?
Speaker 4 (24:07):
At the Youth Hostel show.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I got really high because I.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Just I looked at the audience and I was like
what I literally was like whatever, Like I know that
these people literally are looking at me with the eyes
of someone who is hearing sounds but not interpreting words.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Does that make sense? Like hither?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Yeah, And they were just looking at me where they
were like And it was like, oh, okay, Like I'm
going to go get like rip roaring stoned before this
because I kind of don't want to like be present
for the kind of I want to be somewhere else.
So I did get pretty high before that when I
have no recollection of like what I said or did.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
I probably just.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Talked to people, Yeah, probably did the right thing.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Yeah, it was like, oh, I'm going to get up
and like tell my rehearse jokes.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
No, I think you did the right thing in London
when you just started like making fun of like your
outfit that at that point you're like, why why do
my rehearse material?
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
You guys are clearly hating.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, just started digging into them.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, that's what already Fuqua said, he goes, when I
start bombing, I just start ripping into each and every
audience member.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Because there's like what else is there?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Like they don't want what I'm selling, so might as
well just like go in and Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
I did have a show actually at that same venue
in London after that one. It was crazy because I
did the same show two days later with a different
host and crushed and it was a smaller audience, but
it was like the host was like a queer cabaret dude.
So it was just like a different audience that seemed
a little more down.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I think like if you go to a R and
B show and a punk band plays, they're only going
to go so do so well Yeah, so it's like,
you know, I just remember it a big stinker.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
So opening for a band is one of the worst experience.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
It's Sarah does it? I know, I don't know how
she's She's getting like good at it too. It's like
I think it's the hardest thing, to the point where
I was just like I give up.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
Yeah, this was one that standing for I forget that
that music shows. People don't show up at the time
of the show because they know the headliner goes on
like two hours later. So I was expecting to walk
out and see a full This is that lodge room.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
It's like a.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Pretty big room, and I was like, Okay, I'm gonna
walk out and there's gonna be like this big crowd.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Not at all.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
People were absolutely trickling in And I was doing a
character that I call the Quief of comedy, which is.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
I can quef on command, so you.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Can throw up on command too, which is like amazing.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yeah, it's like those guys.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Can't even do Yeah, Like I think only Steve O
possesses your like you can read vomit.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
No, I really can't. That's pretty crazy, even when I
don't want to.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Vomiting that command is somehow even more impressive.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
But comedy, I was doing the Queen of comedy, which
is that you just put.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
The microphone to your Vaginay is that it.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Well, it's like I'm telling jokes as well.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
It'll be like these corny, corny, corny jokes that I write.
Actually some of them are the band It was Hunks
and His Punks.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Do you know Seth Bogart.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
He's an amazing artist and he has this like punk
band that they like they used to perform like ten
years ago and they're doing another.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Album. So they did a show.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
This was like some point over the summer, and he
specifically requested the Quief of Comedy because he loves her,
And a lot of the jokes actually are rejected monologue
jokes that I wrote for your show no Way, because
it was like you know, when we just sit down
and write for ten minutes.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
It's like the worst jokes you can think of.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
They were so bad they didn't even make it into
the So it's like that level of joke. And then
after like.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
And I can I have a lot of control over it.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
I can control like if it's like a loud one
or if it's like a quiet.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Like so I'll like jump around.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
So we were walking into the venue, what did you
see the Hunks of Punks or whatever?
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Yeah, and they're seeing that and also it was like,
so you just.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Look like you were a roadie for the band lost
your mind because.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
You know, people were looking at me just like.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
They were laughing, because like you can't sort of watch
that and not be laughing.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
But I don't know if they knew that they were
laughing thing with we were at me?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah and whatever.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
That was like the one time performing where I really
felt like I was like in a circus side show,
like it was The Weeping Woman. Oh my god, I
would have loved to be in the side show.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Like a world Like what do you mean like a circus,
like a circus freaking kind of like like you wanted
to be genetically deformed?
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Really, but like like elevant or what are we talking here?
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I guess just the concept of it sounds you know,
it's it's obviously probably really bad.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
It's explained genetic defects.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Yeah years ago.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Oh they're like yeah, repetties and because he's got a
fun and arm growing out.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Of the space, Yeah sick. I would have been sick.
I don't know what.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
In my head, I was like, well, you get to
go to you get to be part of the circuits,
travel the world, see the sites weep into a microphone,
keep into the microphone.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
You know what I think Sarah figured out that's smart
is that she uses the big screen behind her, and
you know, because those those music shows, it's like it's
like it's like you gotta think about it, like you're
shooting in a really wide frame, like you have to
fill up the space.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
And using that screen and.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Her visuals that I was like, Aha, that's how she
did because Hannibal kind of started doing that too. He
was like using multimedia, Like that's the way, that's the way,
using that screen. I don't think it's cheating at all.
I'd like, first of all, I love carrat top and
I don't know anybody made fun of him in the nineties,
Like I was like.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
By the way, I was like, yeah, prop comedy, like
why not use props?
Speaker 4 (30:48):
And his number one fan like I used.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Props on the air Andre show, like make props, use
the prop? Why is that?
Speaker 4 (30:53):
It was also a literal genius.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
He I saw his show in Vegas and oh my god,
he like us come backstage. I was with Sarah actually,
and we like he just talked to him for like
an hour and he just was like telling us. He
writes like five minutes of new material every day.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Every day. He has a ton, a tremendous amount of material.
He's been doing it for forty.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Years and like worth like hundreds of millions of dollars
and then playing Vegas every day for I love that years. Honestly,
you got to give it up.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
You've got to give it perseverance.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Because he got so shipped on in the nineties. I know, comedy,
that's whag character fucking carrot. That's a rough name to
like have you know, it's an easy guy to pick up.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
He had gone by Scott, maybe he would.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Scott, I would have been a little less of a pounding,
but like whatever, make props, Like what why are there rules?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Like maybe people laugh? Gives a fuck.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
I'm actually working on a set that is like a
prop thing, and I'm like really excited.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Because i I'm actually like, why don't I do prop
comedy anytime?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Like like why not? He Also, when I watched Sarah
and Hand some.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Of Hannibal's multimedia stuff, I'm like, yeah, use the whole stage,
Like what is this vaudeville?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Like, gives a fuck? We're in the twenty first century.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
I know.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Sometimes people would be like oh, like doing a PowerPoint
is hack or whatever.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
And I'm like, is the audience laughing?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Is the audience laughing?
Speaker 4 (32:17):
That's all that matters.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Here's what the medium.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
All that matters, is the.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Audience that matters. You know what those people are. They're
not successful, they're not that funny say that. They are haters.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
They're haters.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
They're fucking haters.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So that's the problem with comedy.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
It's like surrounded by bitterer, entitled people with personality disorders.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
It's rough.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
It's rough, man. I thought it'd be more fun when
I started comedy. I was like, Oh, it's gonna be
a group of the most fun people ever.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
And it's misery everywhere.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Bidder, so much bigger, mad at the world, sometimes mad
in a way where it's like they don't even know
what they're mad at. Some of these comics. Yeah, they
like hate everything, shit on everything.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
But they're really sensitive and.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
If you say anything that is like slightly degrading to them,
they are like, how fucking dare you? And it's like
I thought we were like joking around. And the whole
thing is that you think everything sucks.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I know it, Well, well, you want to wrap it
up or it's another bomb. Did I step on the
rest of your queen story?
Speaker 5 (33:20):
No, that was basically it. Someone got mad at me
when I did that bit once because I had a
joke in it, like towards the end that like my
mom was dying and then it was like basically her
dying words were and then I queef again.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
And this person you know, it takes a week to recoup.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
But no, there was a point where I was doing
it a lot right after COVID. It was like the
first bit that I did because I was a little
too afraid to do stand up again after COVID.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Oh, I think you meant after the Cleeves, I was
too abady.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
To do I just like after COVID was like.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Yeah, I haven't really got back to it. Yeah, I did,
like your show. Once I bombed. I did Steph tolev show,
which was bossouf because she stayed on stage with me
and like riffed so like I couldn't bomb, Like if
I had a joke that was so so she would
just go and like save it from and her audience
(34:26):
just loves her. And I did Michael Michael Jay's show.
He wouldn't let me not go on. I was like, no, no,
I'm just coming here and hang out. He goes, you're
going on, and I go, nah, I don't do stand
up anymore. He goes, yeah, you do, and I go, nah,
really I haven't. He goes, you're coming out, and then
he just walked out. He goes, ladies and gentlemen, I
have a special guest, Haeric Conjry. He like forced me out,
but he's like, I'll stay on stage with you and
(34:46):
I won't let you suffer. So then like him and
Wilson Vans came out and like they helped me. Like
that's pretty much the three shows I've done since, but
not Eric Andre Show tour. Like all the media stuff
like stand up.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
Stand up is like I don't know, like I have
the motivation to do anymore. I'm struggling to find it
at this point because like I'm not really working towards
an hour necessarily.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
I don't really like have the drive to do that.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
So then it's then hard to be like, Okay, I'll
do like ten minutes on this random show.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
But then I feel a little.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
Bit like to what end, I feel like I've lost
the point, lost the pot, you.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Know, same, I want to get back into it. But
if I'm working on other stuff all day, or writing
or thinking of brainstorming other stuff all day, or actually shooting,
I don't really feel like blabbing into a microphone.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Right.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
It's also gotten to a point where it's like, if
you have a show that doesn't feel amazing, you're sort
of like, why did I put myself through this?
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Like if it feels okay, that to me feels like
similar to bombing.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Yeah, it's just like unless I'm walking away being like
I fucking us, I'm so funny, like you know, it's
like otherwise I'm like, what did I put Like why
am I putting myself through so much anxiety?
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (36:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
So at night I have trouble sleeping, so I don't
want to like rev up my adrenaline at night.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Yeah, it doesn't feel healthy.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
When I did that Vice show with Zach and Tony, Yes,
at this show, we were.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Together when it got canceled. I was in your writer's room, right,
you and me and Zach were there.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
That filmed at eleven at night, and for the first
while it was a two hour long show, so I
wouldn't get to bed until I don't even know what time.
And I was like so like stimulated from doing it.
It was like really really tough on my sleep.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Ladies and gentleman Sandy. We did it.
