through the South. Those dates
will be coming out, I guess, the week that this drops.
Watch Royal Crackers on HBO.
That's about it. David, do you rub your face
your whole act
most of it most of it that's pretty cool that's a cool effect well you gotta be
in a way people kind of can't hear it yeah it would be fun to do a whole special where you're
putting on lotion like a concerned mother in a sitcom you know what i mean like before bed
you're just putting on various lotion right on your elbows i've always wanted to eat like take
a bite of a burger during stand-up i've never like eaten anything. What's stopping you?
Nothing.
I could.
I've never seen it.
That'd be new.
I've never,
I've never seen it.
I've seen a comedian
named Hamburger,
but I've never seen
someone eat one.
Yeah.
I've seen two comedians
named Hamburger.
Hamburger and Hamburger 2?
Yeah.
I would've gone with
Cheeseburger for the second one.
Oh,
they got,
come on,
but, Chicken Sandwich, Double Cheesecake. You would've gone with aburger for the second one chicken sandwich
you would have gone with a double
maybe rodeo burger
double animal style
something
the riffs were better earlier
listeners you should have been here
man oh man
we were ripping
is there anything else you want to tell people about David
no not yet
it's just so few
let him earn it
let him earn it David don't just give it to him up front
let him do some later
I'm like 45 minutes in
it'll come out
we've been teasing another announcement for two episodes
so this is actually pretty fun
we're building a lot of suspense I think
our guest today is Neil
Brennan, at Neil Brennan on Instagram,
Twitter, I imagine TikTok
as well. Do you want TikTok?
I'm on TikTok. I bought
the verification on Twitter.
I went the other way from David.
How do you like that? I got the
double bonus. No, I
didn't do that.
You do have a blue check now, though, right?
Didn't they give them back?
Did they?
I don't know.
I realize once I have a girlfriend,
like, the social media is totally pointless.
It does nothing for you.
It's completely pointless.
Like, I guess promo, but I'm not.
I have a guy.
I got a guy.
You got a guy?
You got a digital guy?
Yeah.
I got a digital guy.
That's luxury, dude. That's the only kind of luxury I'm really interested in. I got a guy. You got a guy? You got a digital guy? Yeah. I got a digital guy. That's luxury, dude.
That's the only kind of luxury
I'm really interested in.
That and private jets.
Mm-hmm.
That's about...
Private jets,
I've been told repeatedly,
is the only real difference
money makes,
which is pretty big,
but you can still only eat
a couple meals a day.
You can only...
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
But that, like,
park your car,
be on a plane, and you're in the air like six minutes later. I can only, you know what I mean? But that, like park your car, be on a plane
and you're in the air
like six minutes later.
I can't even imagine
the stress.
Yeah, I've heard you get,
you park your car
and you get to punch
the co-pilot in the face.
You do.
Yeah.
Like, and keep moving.
You just go like,
and walk onto the plane.
They actually said,
like if you pay a little extra,
they said a 30 second clock
and you can do anything
to the co-pilot.
But it takes a little in that 30 seconds. But you hurry clock, and you can do anything to the co-pilot. But it's 11 to 30 seconds.
But you hurry up.
Hurry up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you got to be done by the time the buzzer goes off.
Right.
You can't be still.
It's not like, let me get one last punch in.
It's like hard.
It's like basketball rules.
It's not soccer rules.
I'm fully clothed.
Yeah.
It has to leave the hand.
Zippers up, buttons down.
It's pretty clear.
Yes, sir. You must have been on a private
jet by now?
I've been on
probably
15 private jets
in my life.
Here's the great human
thing about private jets.
I believe almost every time
if not every time.
You'll be in like a G4.
I guess that's a kind of...
And then whenever you land...
I've heard some songs about them, yes.
Yeah.
Whenever you land at the airport or...
It's happened every time when I've landed at the airport.
The person who got the private jet would point at the G5 and go,
that was the one I wanted to get.
So every
single time, it's
not enough.
It's never
enough.
Well, it'd be enough for me.
I'd be bringing the captain coffee.
You say that now.
I'd be bringing him coffee.
I'd be sitting in the cockpit. I think it'd be so coffee. I'd be sitting in the cockpit.
I think it'd be so fun.
I want to sit in the cockpit.
I'm terrified to fly.
I don't think you would bring them.
You wouldn't bring them coffee.
You wouldn't.
You'd be like, fuck them.
They work for me.
Man, that would be a big G.
If you're the kind of person who gets to the point where you have a G4,
you're also only the kind of person who would rather have a G5.
Of course, and you're also the most like,
I should bring coffee for the staff.
Just a box of Starbucks.
How high do they go?
How high do the Gs go?
Pretty high.
I think they go, I mean, I didn't know I knew that much.
I didn't realize how much I knew.
I believe they go
45,000 feet because
35,000 feet, there's more
turbulence. Then you go to 45,
there's less. I think.
It's a more luxurious ride.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm going to go.
Go.
To me, it seems like the great equalizer because there's
always turbulence. You can't pay to not have turbulence.
I suppose if you go higher, but you still have to...
I've never been on a private jet.
I gotta say, I don't like...
Yeah, they still bump.
Yeah, they bump.
It's bumping.
It's soul plane.
Oh, I don't especially like private jets because what happens is it becomes like a cocktail party.
Yes.
Like you can't really just, you can't get on a plane and like ignore people.
Just sit there.
You have to be like, so what have you been doing, fellow person?
Um, which, you know, you guys know I don't like.
Yeah.
There's a lot of pressure, especially you've almost feel like you have to do whatever the person who
got the plane it's like they're setting the tone and if they go and get a drink is that usually is
that usually blow no i know it's far worse far worse i've been on a private jet i don't want
to say with who you can probably guess smoking smoking cigarettes on a private jet. Well, thank God they don't let me do that in 39B
on United.
That's why you gotta
apply a spirit. They'll let you smoke in the back.
Absolutely.
I wonder
if there's any movement
to get a smoking flight.
They can do it.
If there's like, hey, everyone in this flight is going to be smoking.
That's a commercial flight.
I don't know that they could.
You don't think they could?
No, you can't smoke indoors anywhere.
It's not like...
No, we're all cool, man.
You can't plead we're cool.
It's performance art.
No, man.
Come on, man.
What if I do stand up in the aisle?
Is it a stage?
Yeah, then you're all right.
That whole thing?
Yeah, I guess you could make it a performance art thing, yeah.
Now that I think about it.
We're drafting stand-up comedy specials today.
Neil, you have some fantastic comedy specials of your own.
Three mics, blocks, available now.
And also, as of April, three days.
Crazy good on Netflix.
Hell yeah, man.
I'm kind of abandoning
my mental health
advocacy.
And I'm saying that anything good in life
is from psychopaths and drug addicts.
Hell yeah.
Whoops.
Every great athlete
is insane.
Insane to a person.
All of them. Name them. They're insane.
Every single one we like.
Even Anthony Edwards right now in the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Insane person.
I love it.
Anthony Edwards.
He's the best.
Anthony Edwards who just for no reason made a homophobic Instagram last summer.
No one.
It was like literally the meme of like, no one, colon, empty.
Anthony Edwards, I don't like gays.
Wait, what?
But, you know, it's like a video game character where like,
if you get 100 points in one area, you're going to have zero in another one.
Yeah.
So that's kind of how life works.
The joke, Woody Allen, 100 points for filmmaking and comedy. another one. Yeah. So that's kind of how life works.
The joke, Woody Allen,
100 points for filmmaking and comedy.
And the angels were
like, but God, that's
not going to live any
points for not fucking
his family.
Are the angels the ones
who dole out the points?
Well, in my logic,
sure.
A lot of people don't
know that the angels
are on the show up
there.
Yeah.
The angels are like, what are we going to do
with this Ron Jeremy kid? He seems to be
sure.
The big dick angels. God bless.
That's how it works. And then he
was a sexual assaulter.
God had a stroke just eating spaghetti.
God doesn't run the family anymore.
It's all the captains running it.
That's correct.
Kippos. Kipp correct. Kippos.
Kippos.
Kappos.
Anything else you'd like to point people toward?
You have your Blocks podcast as well?
Oh, yeah.
The Blocks podcast.
Let's put it all toward Crazy Good on Netflix.
We're going to put all our points toward Crazy Good on Netflix,
everything else, or the other Netflix specials,
but really Crazy Good I'd like to get into the top 10
and stay there for a week and a half.
There it is.
Is that the goal? Is that the internal goal?
Is Robby Pryor hitting you up like,
we gotta stay top 10?
That's my internal goal.
The metrics we're looking at internally
are a week and a half
in the top 10.
Fantastic.
We hope you fucking get there, man.
You're so funny.
I hope so.
Thank you.
I think you will.
My name is Ian Carmel,
at Ian Carmel on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok,
all those places.
Pre-order my book, T-Shirt Swim Club,
a memoir about being fat in 13 stories
with my little sister,
a doctor of psychology coming in after every chapter
and sort of analyzing what I was talking about.
I'd like to say now Ian has sent me the book
and I have not read it.
Yeah.
Pretty great.
Must feel pretty good.
This was kind of a gotcha moment.
Yeah.
I've pre-ordered the book
and I imagine I will not read it for quite some time
as I haven't read a book in about three years.
I came to you saying, hey, I know you're super busy.
Can I send you this anyway?
Like being like, if you got the time, fantastic.
If not, what's sad is I.
That's how you said it to me.
I sold it on eBay for 99 cents.
That's what I said.
Now that I not read it, I fucking sold it at a loss for you and me.
It's not a bad price.
And now it's on the streets.
Now everybody knows about it. It's more than
the author usually gets, so that's fantastic.
That's pretty sweet.
It's alright. We got quotes from Seth Meyers,
Roxane Gay, you know,
Shea Serrano. We're doing alright.
That's pretty good. We are missing
one big space.
The big NB. Was it for the quote?
Puff Daddy. Oh, I didn't realize
it was for the quote.
I was trying to get
that blurb, baby.
I was trying to get
that NB blurb on the book.
I didn't realize that.
My fault.
I didn't realize that.
I still,
I just made some shit up.
Oh, cool.
You AI'd it?
This makes my stand-up
look like this.
You AI Neil Brennan'd it?
AI Neil Brennan.
We had chat GPT.
Write a blurb
as Neil Brennan.
It's a, this book makes my stand-up look like shit. Neil Brennan. We had chat GPT. Write a blurb as Neil Brennan. It's a, this
book makes my stand-up look like

Oh yeah, go see David. Go to the website.
Shout out to David. That's it.
Shout out, David.
Now, we've danced around
the topic all podcast
so far, so let's get right into it. We are here to
fantasy draft stand-up comedy
specials. All of the stand-up comedy specials all of the
stand-up comedy specials are in play except for neil's we're going to take neil's off the board
right now and just assume that those are one two three three well those would have been the top
yeah those would end four i mean i'm just i'm just saying it's akim elijah one sam bowie
akim elijah one sam bowie michael jordan neil you tell us which one is sam bowie
i over my dead body Akeem Olajuwon, Sam Bowie, Michael Jordan. Neil, you tell us which one is Sam Bowie.
I over my dead body.
The way we determine the order of this draft is through a rollicking game of rock, paper, scissors.
Play between the three of you and we throw on shoot.
Here we go.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
Oh, David wins in unnatural victory. Paper
against two scissors.
Doesn't scissors beat paper?
Odd person out. We've devised a
three-person game of rock, paper, scissors
where the person who throws something unique
wins. I'm going to get into it a little
deeper, actually. Explain.
We were inspired by no exit
by, uh, okay.
David, as the winner of rock paper says this is incumbent
upon you to determine the order of today's draft before you do that i will remind you
it's a serpentine draft and what is that that's a great question like if you're trying to find a
seat let's say you're going in to watch someone film a stand-up special and you're trying to find
your seat and there's all those rows and so you go it's empty you're the first person in there so
you just you go and you're like i'm just gonna walk down and see if I find it. You don't really look at,
so you walk down one whole row of seats. It's not there. Uh, you're like, oh man, it's J not K.
So you go over to J. Then you walk all the way down that and you're like, I was reading K wrong.
It's L. And then, you know, you go to L, walk all the way down. Then you decide it's M actually.
And then you walk into like M15 and there you take a seat. So just kind of back and forth.
Everyone just turned this podcast off. Everyone just turned this podcast off.
Everyone just turned this podcast
off and they were like, you know what? Let me focus
on work. I think
they got a serpentine draft at least. At least
they know what that is now. They
turned it off because they're like, wow, he's so thoroughly
explained what a serpentine draft is that
I feel so satisfied. They don't need to know anymore. They're gonna go
to the ocean and think about God.
And she will appreciate it.
Oh, very nice.
Ally.
If you pick fourth in the first round, you pick first in the second round.
David, with that in mind, what would the order of today's draft be?
I'm going to mix it up.
I'm going to go me, Ian, Neil, Sean.
Holy shit.
David, Ian.
I don't know what to do.
Neil, Sean is the order of that draft.
And we're going to get to the first pick right after this short break.
This episode of all fantasy.
Everything is brought to you by policy genius,
policy genius.
I'm going to hit you.
We're going to talk about some life insurance stuff real quick.
Now,
40% of people with life insurance wish they'd gotten their policy at a
younger age.
Of course you do.
I wish I'd done everything at a younger age. That's neither here nor there. Policy Genius,
essentially, it just helps you get the life insurance you need fast so you can get on
with your life. With Policy Genius, you can find life insurance policies that start at just $292
per year for $1 million of coverage. Some options offer same-day approval and avoid unnecessary
medical exams. So I have life insurance. It had nothing to do with me. It's my wife did everything,
but it's tough. It's a hassle to go through and get. You have to research it, which I don't like
researching anything. If I buy something, I just go into the person that works at the store and
say, what is right in the middle? What's not the best? What's not the worst? And that is how I do it.
With life insurance, obviously, you want to be a little bit more careful about that. But how do I
know where to start? You know what I mean? I have no idea what to do, where to look. Nobody does.
And that's what Policy Genius does. They just go in, they find and compare all the best quotes
for you. They just go to all the nation's top insurers, and then they give you your best options. They're just a few clicks,
and then you're going to find your lowest price. And their expert license support team
is your advocate. They work for you. They're not getting bonuses. They're not getting anything like
that from certain insurance companies. They're not out there being smarmy. They just want to
help you out. They're answering the questions, handling the paperwork, shaking the hands, kissing the babies.
They're doing it all for you. And if you don't have life insurance, I know it sucks to talk
about or to think about, but you're just going to stick people with the bill. You're going to
stick your loved ones with the bill. Don't nobody want to do that. You know what I mean? Get covered.
I don't want anyone inheriting my debt. And then they see what I spent money Get covered. I don't want anyone inheriting my debt. And then they see what
I spent money on probably. I don't need all that nonsense in my life. Get it covered. Get an
insurance policy. Get it handled. And like I said, Policy Genius gives you unbiased advice from
a licensed expert support team. They have thousands of five-star reviews on Google,
Trustpilot, from customers who've felt the benefits of their service. So get on it. Don't wait.
Don't hesitate. Don't procrastinate. Oh, yeah, I got a song on Spotify as a rapper. That's neither
here nor there. Don't put off life insurance. Make it easy with Policy Genius. Head to
policygenius.com or click the link in the description to get your free life insurance
quotes and see how much you could save. That's policygenius.com. This episode of All Fantasy Everything
is brought to you by Schedule 35. Now, microdosing is an absolute game changer. I have never heard a
bad word about it. And like we said, this episode of All Fantasy Everything is brought to you by
Schedule 35, our partner in getting things done. Imagine if you could, let me just take you on a
walk. You got a tool, sharpens your focus.
It's going to clear your mind up. It's going to keep your anxiety at bay, which, man,
wouldn't that be nice? And it's going to do it all day long. It's like a Swiss army knife
for your mind. Might sound like a magic pill. I know I said it before, but that's, I swear to
God, it's the plot of Limitless. It might sound like that, but you can actually get it done.
You know, there's the magic of
microdosing with Schedule 35. They're products. They're backed by science and dosed to a precise
amount so you get exactly what you need to tackle your toughest days. And you don't get the
hallucinogenic effects. I feel like there's a lot of stigma attached with things like this.
But Schedule 35, they're on a mission to de-stigmatize and educate on the science
and real-world benefits of psilocybin, of which there are a ton. And they also want to make it
accessible for everyone. Each order ships discreetly. No one's going to get in your
business. No one's going to be in your kitchen stirring your Kool-Aid. It just comes in a nice
little box. And it comes with a microdosing regime that keeps you on track. So you start small.
I think that's the key to this.
You start small and just let it ride.

with neil brennan but those are the two david boy we are drafting stand-up comedy specials what is
your first pick uh i gotta take elephant in the room yeah Ah! Yeah. Come on, man. It came out.
I had been doing comedy, like, I think a year when it came out.
And I didn't, like, grow up particularly liking stand-up comedy.
I didn't either. Something was lost on the delivery in me.
I was always like, I always felt it sounded really corny.
And that was the first special I saw.
I was like, oh, this guy's just talking.
And it's amazing.
He does crowd work up front, which is a wild move.
And it was just like all those bits.
I think it's the most polished work he put out.
I don't, it's like, I have kind of specials of his
that I watch more or whatever,
but that one was just,
it was the first standup comedy special I ever saw.
I was like, oh, it's like perfect.
What specials of his do you watch more?
The first one with the white trash can rapist
where he buys a receipt for everything.
Yeah, I think that one is so...
Do the half hours count?
I think the half hours count.
Yeah, yeah.
Especially because so many premium blends and shit.
But yeah, I watch that one more,
but that is just like a perfect work.
It's like him at the top of his game, I feel like.
And yeah, I love that special, man. his game i feel like and uh yeah i love that
special man and to wear that hat and not sweat and be that size and that jacket down in his knees
leather that is pounds and pounds of leather it's a heavy leather i mean it's just so much leather
i want to see how heavy it is it's got got to be like 15, 20 pounds of leather.
It had to be like a 40-pound jacket.
Absolutely.
It was big.
It was a big, it was a 3X leather peacoat.
But yeah, elephant in the room, man.
Spell restaurant.
I still, every time I can't spell it, which is every time.
Take his socks.
I think spell restaurant's the worst bit in the hour. Oh, I love it so much. I love it. I don't think Restaurant's the worst bit in the hour.
Oh, I love it so much.
I love it.
I don't think it's the best bit, but I love it.
I love the Natalie Holloway bit.
I think it's the worst bit in the hour.
The Natalie Holloway.
I mean, is that saying something like it's the worst bit and it's still dope,
but you don't like it at all?
I don't like Chris Rock's Robitussin bit.
I don't like that bit either, actually.
That's funny you should say that.
It's just kind of like,
I don't know, it just doesn't feel
as good as everything else in it.
It feels like a filler.
Relative to the other shit.
I have
two Patrice stories. I probably have many
Patrice stories, but
one of them is...
Patrice O'Neill.
Patrice O'Neill.
Patrice O'Neill is the stand-up, in case anyone doesn't know.
Go ahead.
He's the only person to ever call, well, not the only person, but call me to say I was funny.
I opened for him one time, and he just called me a couple days later.
I was like, yo, man, you're funny.
So that's incredibly nice, and I try to do that whenever
I can.
And the other thing, and then
another time... It's weird, we've worked together
quite a few times.
No, I remember.
I specifically remember.
No, but I feel like I did tell you. No, you did.
You did. You did. I'm joking. You were very nice.
That'll put gas in someone's tank, though. It's such a
good move because that will get you through years, probably, of like struggling
and thinking it's not whatever, you know.
Yeah.
It's a good thing to get that tap.
When you're bombing in front of six people.
Yeah.
You're like, fucking Neil said that was funny.
Also, when the headliner reaches out to you and you open, that's a good feeling.
I don't do it.
I more reach out like, you got chicken fingers last night and they're going to hit me for
that. I'm trying to come back. I don't do it I more reach out like you got chicken fingers last night and they're gonna hit me for that
did you enjoy it?
I'm trying to come back
that's why they made Venmo
six bucks later it's cool it's not a big deal
and then the other one
is probably after
that I was doing a pilot
and I wanted Patrice
to be in it
and I called him and was like,
hey man, if we put you in this pilot,
are you going to be an asshole?
And then we argued for two and a half hours.
And then at the end of which he goes,
you know what, Neil?
I can't promise you I'm not going to be an asshole.
Did you put him in it?
No.
And then it's like two months later,
he called to apologize because he realized,
because he had done a pilot,
and there was somebody on set who was just being kind of an asshole.
And he, because my thing was like,
Patrice, you know how fucking hard it is to do a TV show?
Yeah.
And I was like, if someone's around that has bad energy,
you want to kill them. And then he realized that I was kind of right. He thought I was like, if someone's around that has bad energy, you want to kill them.
And then he realized that I was kind of right.
He thought I was a bitch at first.
And then he realized I was kind of telling the truth.
Was it scripted or?
Yeah, it was scripted.
Scripted.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
So pretty great.
Pretty great.
Yeah.
Pretty great.
What was the role he would have played in the sitcom?
Do you remember?
I don't know.
Whatever.
Him, himself.
Patrice O'Neill as teacher.
He was a doctor.
He was an archaeologist.
No, he's fucking an asshole.
Dr. Patrice.
What role?
You've been fucking, I mean, you've been trying to do showbiz.
What was the role?
Who gives a shit, Ian?
What was the role?
I'm trying to find our breakout, man.
I'm trying to find the video that's going to travel on the internet.
Oh, and that's how you do it?
It's the island thing. Patrice
was up for the role of
blank, and then we all
do a face like this that we put in the thumbnail?
Well, no, he did a
sketch on Chappelle's show and then just wouldn't do
it again, and I was basically like,
what's wrong with you? And he just didn't like
playing support.
It's amazing when someone knows,
even at an early point where they're just like,
it would be,
I can't even imagine.
I can't turn shit down.
I mean,
obviously I'd be like,
yeah,
of course.
No,
but he's like,
he just didn't like,
he didn't like not being the star.
I think.
Yeah.
Or that was my interpretation.
That makes sense. Yeah. But also was my interpretation. That makes sense.
Yeah.
But also for someone to know that,
like at an early age,
when it's like,
it would help me to have like
these little supporting roles
that would build my career up.
That's like both an interesting
sort of self-respect
and self-destruction at the same time.
For sure.
Yeah, that he couldn't
bring himself to do it.
Yeah.
That was first on the list too for me.
I'll darn it.
That was your, that was going to be your first pick?
That was your first pick?
Second.
The first one, I don't know if it counts,
so we'll see.
This is tough.
I'm going to go with Bring the Pain by Chris Rock.
That's a good pick.
That's solid.
Yeah, man.
These are the RST and LE.
These are the RST and LE ofle of uh yeah you gotta knock them out
in the first round it's almost like it's almost pointless to talk about but i used to did you
watch it when it was new i watched it when it was new i used to be like i had no idea you could
become a stand-up comedian but i used to be like kind of obsessed with stand-up comedy as a thing
to put on like when I was falling asleep,
like I couldn't fall asleep without listening to people talk.
How old from like,
from when I can remember it started with sports radio.
Interesting.
And then it turned into like standup.
You know what?
I maybe did not see it in 1996.
I probably didn't see it when I was 12,
but around like 1999 and especially when like
Napster and all that stuff came around where you could like download people's full specials and
everything. Right. I, this was one of the ones I would listen to on loop coming out. It's just so
fucking funny. That one has no bad bits in it. There's no bad bits. Yeah. It's amazing.
They're like the OJ stuff.
Like, I don't know.
Yeah.
Mary and Barry stuff.
It was just, I don't know.
I really, really loved it.
It was fantastic. I remember you as a kid being like,
I love this Mary and Barry thing.
I love the one.
I love it.
I love it.
I love a disgraced man.
I was a little nerd.
I was like a little nerd.
So I did a comedy.
First time I heard stand-up was a contest
and I did terrible,
but I made it through
because I brought so many people
who voted for me
and I hadn't written any actual jokes.
You love that guy.
Everybody loves that guy.
Oh, yeah.
So I rented that at Blockbuster
and I watched it for like motivation
before the next time I did stand-up.
Did you take any bids?
I can't remember.
Is that is it the one with the I'll shake her?
I won't hit a girl, but I'll shake the shit out of him.
Is that in there?
Is that a different one?
I don't remember.
I don't remember.
That's either that one or or bigger and bigger.
Because I so I rented them both.
I touched on that bit when I did my next stand up.
I didn't.
I was like, what's the Sioux Falls crowd going to do? I didn't have it. I was like. bit when I did my next stand-up set.
What's the Sioux Falls crowd going to really hear me say?
Yeah, I hate admitting it.
I'm getting nervous.
And it was right before
the infamous bit.
That was his opener.
Well, I was like, which one of these can I
touch on?
No, but yeah, I'm sweating saying that out loud.
It's just such an embarrassing thing.
But I just didn't have any...
I just was lost.
I didn't know what to do.
And so I didn't...
But I tried to do a version of it and it was terrible.
But I won the contest.
I love it when comedians do famous bits and think nobody is ever.
I can't remember.
I saw a guy do that Chris Rock bit in Oakland one time.
He was bombing and he just did.
There's two type of black people.
I was like, you think nobody in here knows?
What the fuck are you doing, bro?
Well, I thought of it before I saw it.
But then I looked in his eyes.
He was panicking.
You could see that sometimes. Like when you see like nick cannon do stand up or
something in his eyes he's like that's like what the guy is still a good comic though this guy's
a good guy you he probably know him now but yeah among us yeah i i haven't done that just because
it's such a famous bit bro yeah well you've you've all done the thing where you think you wrote it and then you,
and then I, I thought I wrote a bit four years ago. That was a sign, just a Seinfeld bit.
And I did it. I was like, huh? You know, you have that like nagging feeling.
Yeah. Like the worst. And you text all your friends and they're like, I don't know.
The thing about business class and coach with the curtain.
The thing about business class and coach with the curtain.
And I did it once and I was like, I don't know.
So then I just Googled it and was like, oh, this is not, this is a Jerry Seinfeld bit.
The good thing is that shit's always in the pit of your stomach though. When you do it, there's always something where you're like, this is not, this isn't me for some reason.
There's always something where you're like, this is not, this isn't me for some reason.
I did a whole bit, some shit about the word like fiance versus wife that I did like for a while and like almost did on late night. And then like, I was like, I fucking know somebody did this.
And it was John Mulaney in a big special.
I'm like, oh, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Like it made it past the late night guy.
He was like, this is great.
I love this. And I was like, this is great. I love this.
And I was like, fantastic.
I guess nobody.
Yeah.
It made it past the stringent late night TV.
The overworked producer who got moved to that.
Yeah.
They don't have an encyclopedic memory of everyone's bits.
That's what I was going to say.
Yeah.
memory of everyone's bits that's what i'm saying um yeah i have i i don't want i'm trying to figure out how to how to balance my presence on this podcast i don't want to be like do you want to
hear some bring the pain stories of course we do yeah i know but i don't know i don't i will say
an interesting thing was rock always thought bigger and blacker was better. And he's like, it sold more DVDs.
And I was like, Rock, you're out of your mind.
It's not even close.
And he called me before he went on his last tour.
So, I don't know, two years ago.
And goes, I just watched Bring the Pain.
You were right.
And he goes, I
didn't realize I was
NWA.
He's like, I was NWA.
The first one's the hit?
Yeah. I'm trying to tell you
it's
unbelievable. It's an
unbelievable
achievement. There's a thing
like where you reach,
you escape velocity,
you know, like when a rocket,
and like you have to get so fast
you can get through the atmosphere.
Yeah.
Bring the Pain did that for Chris.
SNL did that for Eddie.
Mm-hmm.
Night Professor and bring the,
Kellan Softley and Chappelle
should do that for Dave.
Like, there's certain things that are just
like...
I showed
Bring the Pain and Ray Romano's
pilot to Dave in
1996
on the same day.
And I remember walking out of my house
literally like, cartoon.
That's so sick. And he was like i feel like i just got hit
in the head with a two by four yeah because he was like they were all peers you know yeah so
yeah fucking nuts like now your buddies are doing that was that would that was that for everybody
loves raymond not 1996 was it would it have been? Yeah. Wow. Yeah.
Ray Romano's got a big house.
Yeah, dude.
Big house.
I would put Ray Romano.
I mean, I'm not going to.
I'm not going to.
Look, it's not my turn.
Is it my turn?
It is your turn. I think it is your turn, in fact.
Well, I'm going to do something pretty.
I'm going to do something pretty controversial.
I'm going to say,
since we're talking about Ray Romano,
I'm going to say Ray Romano's Letterman followed by Ray Romano's
Johnny Carson Tonight Show.
He did it within like four or five months.
They're both perfect.
Wait, can we pick late night sets?
Because I got to change my list then.
Fuck it. Why not? I like it. Yeah.
I got some late night sets. Fine with me.
Anyway, keep going, Neil.
He did the thing
dangling the keys
on Letterman.
I mean, he just fucking
crushes on both.
And they're so close together
and he's not famous.
I have to
admit, I have not seen either of these.
I haven't seen either.
I imagine I've seen them, but I can't remember.
He got the...
I mean, it's weird that
Ray Romano was on Johnny Carson.
You know what I mean?
It's not Jay Leno.
It's Johnny Carson. Right. The timelines don't feel like they should line up
yeah like here's another one
that's funny
Chris Rock and Martin Luther King were both alive
at the same time
for three years they were
both alive
I guess that makes sense
you never think about that stuff though
that's crazy to put in that timeline
Jesus yeah Chris was born in you never think about that stuff though that's crazy to put in that timeline Jesus
yeah Chris was born in
67 or so
I don't remember
65 I don't really even know
did they know each other?
they actually worked at the same club
I knew Chris started early
who do you think gave him the idea
for the bit?
yeah exactly MLK was like no there's two types of people I'm marching for I knew Chris started early. Who do you think gave him the idea for the bit? Yeah, exactly.
MLK was like, no, there's two types of people I'm marching for.
There's two types of black people.
Two types of people I'm marching for.
Yeah, so yeah, I'm going to put, I don't know why,
I feel like I've opened it up, but I'm putting those two,
those two mini, if we're doing a half hour.
Sure, let's do it yeah did he have his
kids at that point yeah so was that what he was joking about definitely the second one yeah jay
and may romano yeah again i'm so neil how old are you i'm so old i remember when Ray Romano got fired from news radio and replaced by Joe Rogan.
That's crazy.
Who's like Ray Romano that we could throw in here?
Yeah.
Neil, how old are you?
I remember watching Ray Romano at a place called the Boston Comedy Club in 1992 or three crush and looking at somebody and being like, he's so
funny, I wonder what's going to happen
to him. He's going to get
a big house. That's always a good
feeling when you see someone and you're like,
that's not the last we're going to see of that guy.
Well, yeah, but you don't know.
You're never, you know,
we've all seen people crush and have
magical sets and then nothing
happens. I was looking through all of the presents last.
I looked through all 15 seasons of comedy central presents.
And there were a lot of people on there where I was like,
Oh,
I completely not sound harsh,
but like,
I just combined and heard the name and in 15 years,
you know?
Yeah.
There's a lot of guys who had a year.
Yeah.
You never saw me.
There was this guy,
Matt Fulcher on who's still out doing standup.
But like,
I remember his special. I'm like that dude, that dude's got it. It's on this. Fulcher on who's still out doing stand up but like I remember
his special I'm like that dude
that dude's got it
Fulcher on was hilarious
Fulcher on was one of my
said one of my favorite things ever about comedy
he got off stage
and he said
doing stand up
is like selling bags of shit
that's all.
Yeah.
Noodle that around,
but yeah, he ain't.
Yeah, he might have said,
he might have said,
it's so hard.
It's like selling bags of shit.
Yeah.
So,
Full Charge was his name.
He opened for Tosh
for a long time.
He might still.
He was one of my,
I love him so much.
We brought him to Portland to do this show that we used to run.
And for some reason, like eight people showed up.
And I was so bummed out because it was like a door deal.
And I handed him, I think, 40 bucks or something.
I was like, here you go, man.
It's such a harsh feeling.
Because at the time, I didn't have the means to make up for it even.
I couldn't like sweeten the pot out of my pocket. It just didn't exist.
And I was like, sorry. He was so cool about it. He's like, whatever.
It was fun. But he's great.
That's special. We might talk about it.
Hilarious person. Yep.
Ray Romano's two first...
Maybe first two. Ray Romano's Letterman.
Ray Romano's Carson. John Jordan.
Carson was first and Letterman is
how we got the sitcom.
That's so cool.
Phil Rosenthal.
Such a, what's this?
This is Everett Loves Raymond.
This is a good show.
So can I, can I do this?
Can I say the Kings of Comedy?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah.
I just, I get so many people, but to me, that was just, it's just, it's the special I'm
most familiar with.
The one I've seen the most, I just cover to cover.
It's just, I mean, it's just I mean it's just
ridiculous to me that was the first comedy special I ever took in at the time like when it came out
I remember seeing ads for it and people talking about it and having opinions and then like seeing
it is on the first DVDs I had I ran it at a bunch I mean like multiple times where it's like I you
know it's just I just perfect it's still it's so
fun so different you get four like really different styles you get to see a really good host like a
really good job hosting something like that which usually doesn't really go that well I don't know
you see the Ced bit did he say he stole
it's like I mean Cedric's bit
is so much bigger than what Kat's bit
was with the spaceship
and backing it up and all that
shit by the way I've been
I'm not going to say who texted who
but apparently it's a pig
meat Markham joke from the 60s
another guy had done it
in the 60s like there's no original thoughts anymore right that whole thing where its. Another guy had done it in the 60s.
There's no original thoughts anymore, right? That whole thing where it's like, someone's probably done it.
The whole seven stories kind of thing.
I will say, I like Cedric's bit
better than Cat's
bit. Because Cat just did it on Comic View, right?
And then I like
the Cedric bit a lot. I think that bit's
fun. He's so animated. I mean, all of it
is just, especially Ced's part,
like, just so, like,
looking for the light.
I mean, it's just so funny.
The running.
It's just so animated.
Bernie Mac goes crazy.
Oh, yeah, dude.
Bernie Mac goes crazy.
And just, like,
Deanna had some hits.
If we're taking,
yeah, Deanna,
if we're taking the whole special,
like, behind the scenes,
you get all that stuff,
like, that's part of the special.
It's just so fun
to see him just like...
I don't know. It was sick. Bernie Mac asking for a TV show?
Yep.
Steve Harvey has that great bit
about listening to hip-hop
and the lyrics
like, I'll wet ya.
And he's like, I don't wet.
I don't even know what his reaction is,
but I'll wet ya is such a funny thing
to be like come on
with the fucking Alwetcha
I mean the whole interaction
also the crowd work yeah yeah yeah
and he said what do you do he said he said
I do computers computer school
he goes computer school
at first he says computers and technology
and he was like what he was like
I go to computer school
and he goes Bo Boogie, ain't
nothing technical.
It's just, it's, yeah.
And also
directed by Spike Lee,
which could have been
overly fussy
or like sort of, not
fussy, but like he could have made it more about
him. Not like Spike would ever
do that.
But the cutaways
to people posing in front of the
backdrop all that shit
was like
oh that's southern blackness right there
there's a little fucking capture
he's just captured a thing
that most white people are completely unfamiliar
with and like made it
didn't make a big deal of it.
Just like, here's that and move to the next thing.
Wait, who's your favorite set on it?
Probably Bernie.
Same.
Yeah.
I mean, sometimes it goes over to Cedric,
but Bernie, like just every single time,
I'm like laughing, laughing, laughing.
Like for real, you know, like every single time.
So yeah.
Have you guys ever met Cedric?
No.
God.
He's the fastest bit person.
One of the fastest bit people I've ever been around.
Like if you start doing a bit, he'll be there like in the outfit.
Riff wise.
He's like Fred Armisen and I swear to God,
it doesn't shock me every time,
but it's just not a thing
I thought about him
before I met him.
And then whenever I hang out with him,
he'll have a really funny observation
or he'll do a response
that's fucking lightning fast.
I can see that.. We did a ton of
sketches and in-studio stuff on the Late Late
Show, and we did one with
him, and it was the least I'd have to explain
a bit to anyone the entire time,
where you're just like, he'd read the script, and I was like,
so it's like this, and he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
and then went out and like, out of the park
the first time. One time I
was talking about, I was talking about stool fucking and I go,
I go,
Cedric,
you ever fucked the stool?
And he goes,
you know,
goddamn right.
I have Neil.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know,
goddamn well,
I fucked the stool.
You know that please fucking please don't insult me.
Uh,
Wyatt snack had wanted to make a short film
about a guy who
fucked the stool and fell in love.
Ha!
That would have been dope.
That's the one thing you can't do.
Yeah, because all your friends also fuck too.
I know, it's hard. It's not easy.
That might be a short that's better in theory.
Might be better in theory than, you know what I mean? It's not easy. That might be a short that's better in theory. Might be better in theory than,
or you know what I mean?
Like it's a perfect pitch.
Better story.
I don't need to watch it.
I don't need to watch it.
I think that's the best version of it.
It's the script that gets you the meeting
for the thing that does get produced.
Exactly.
Yeah.
You can't turn a stool into a love seat.
We've all learned that.
Yeah.
Love seat.
All right.
Take your time.
The suit also just a special mention just for all of the outfits in that special. all right take a time the suit also just
a special mention
just for all of the outfits
in that special
oh dude
all the suit
all the suits
phenomenal work
and the background
two kinds of amazing material
in that special
yes there are
Seth had a sleeveless suit
yeah
which is like
on paper sounds like
some redneck shit
but
yeah
they all went full They all went full
Dick Tracy.
Yeah.
Spike Lee and Warren
Beatty produced it. Yeah.
All right, Sean, time for your second pick.
Brian Regan, I walked on the moon.
For me,
it's, again, with the
animation, it's just like when I watch Brian Regan.
Is that the one that's at the improv?
Yeah, it's the one where he, oh's just like when I watch that at the improv. Yeah.
It's the one where he,
um,
Oh God,
he's got so many.
And I was trying to,
trying to get my ducks in a row last night,
but it's obviously it ends with the,
um,
you know,
I walked on it's Aaron Ralston,
like at a party or no,
no,
like Jesus,
I'm mixing it up.
It's at a party with the guy that walked on the moon.
And then someone like explaining their day.
And he's like,
I walked on the moon,
but it's got that bit about like you go to the,
get medication and they Lord over you or you get the doctor's office.
Like you didn't do what I said,
did you?
And he's like,
no,
just all of that.
Like my cholesterol,
I went to the doctor,
my cholesterol is the same.
Figured it was going to be the same.
Cause it was high last year and I didn't do anything different.
I just,
everything.
Watch that.
I watched that special.
Not long ago. He did my podcast and I basically just made him do
a bunch of his bits because
because he I didn't want
to have to clear them so I just made them do
and he's like and I was like I own the bit
now you idiot and he was like what
he was great it was fantastic
so Regan I've seen him
I've seen him probably four times every time he does
an hour that I've never seen.
And then he'll come out and he'll do 30, 45 minutes of requests, which is crazy.
And also, he was in Portland and his tour manager, road manager lives here or something, texted.
And he's like, hey, Brian wants to hang out with some comedians.
So we went to Helium just to, because he just wanted some people there that were comedians.
And he walked up to me and our buddy, Zach. And he was like, you guys comedians? You look like comedians.
And we're like, yeah. And he goes, you want some tequila? I was like, yes. We just took a shot
with Brian Regan. And then he just talked to us. The guy's like one of my favorite comedians that
will ever live. And he just, it just didn't matter. He was so nice, so cool. It was just
such a fun experience. And yeah. He's just the absolute best.
For me, I didn't know
if Brian Regan Live was actually a
visual special, so I would have picked
that, but I don't think it was ever a
visual thing. So I walked on the moon, Brian
Regan, second pick. Yeah, I wish
he would do one of those
I'm telling you for the last time
type specials.
Even that
special from the improv,
the,
I walked on the moon,
he is crushing within three and a half minutes.
I stopped it.
And I was like,
he's getting like shrieks in three and a half minutes.
Yeah.
That's wild.
And then he does girth units.
He does like,
I showed it to my girlfriend who's British.
She was dying. And she's like, I have it to my girlfriend who's British. She was
dying and she's like, I have to show my parents
and they died. British old people.
Squeaky clean. I mean like
it's just something I can't do. It's my
brain. I don't have that gear and that's
a lot of these, that's what I look at where I'm like, oh
man, you just look at it like
it's impossible for me to do.
He's one of those, you know when people say
like you need to be able to crush in any room?
Uh-huh.
Stand-up comedian.
Brian Regan is a,
you can crush in any room comedian.
Yeah,
you can crush in any room.
Live with those people.
There's not,
you know what I mean?
You should be able to crush.
Yeah,
are you a real one?
And it's like,
no one can crush that much.
Nobody can fucking crush in like,
every room.
But like who,
I mean,
it's like Brian Regan.
Burr can crush in every room. Dave can crush like every room. But like who, I mean, it's like Brian Regan. Burr can crush in every room.
Dave can crush in every room.
Rock can crush in every room.
It's funny thinking about
Brian Regan hanging out with those other
three. But I think Brian Regan gets
after it a little bit. He gets in the bag a little bit.
Rock put Brian in his special,
in top five in his movie.
Oh, that's right. He was in the trailer.
Say it again.
Put a little stank on it.
Yeah, that was funny.
Put a little stank on it.
Anyway, yeah, second choice,
Brian Regan.
Neil, your second pick.
My second pick.
I almost feel like I shouldn't
pick Dave or Chris
just because it's like,
you know,
it feels a little close to home.
You don't think they're funny?
Although, you know what?
I'll go with Killing Them Softly by Dave.
And I think I was at the taping.
And...
Oh, that's sick.
The thing that he always says is
it was the worst performance
of that hour.
Really?
He goes, I was... And I know what he means because that happened to me recently, it was the worst performance of that hour. Really?
He goes, I was, and I know what he means because that happened to me recently,
like where I was crushing her,
and then the taping was like fine.
And it's still good, whatever, whatever.
But like, you're used to just crushing.
And he was like, I was crushing.
And then somebody else confirmed it.
Was like, yeah, that wasn't even a good response to it.
Did he only tape one set?
He did it twice, but like...
But it's got
like...
What year is that? It's like 2000?
Yeah, I think it's 2000.
It's got like, gotcha, bitch.
It's got...
It's just got a lot of good...
I didn't know i couldn't do that
i said chip sometimes you gotta race yeah it was too late this man was high as shit yeah um
yeah there's just a lot of really good bits yeah dude every bit is a good bit yeah it's like
that's one of the ones that if you do comedy everybody
this is the general
consensus right it's like it's hilarious
just the first like you know
we've all had a dick out there that we wish we didn't suck
and I bet it wasn't the president's dick shit like that
I bet it was Kenny from Safeway
Kenny from Safeway Shoes or whatever
he says and you're like yeah
it's just that stuff where it just like
hits you like a two by four I two by four yesterday as like Bill Clinton.
And like you get in here.
Like,
it's like you're,
you're a goddamn American hero.
Like so many good bits.
And like,
yeah.
Was he aroused?
He goes full fucking bugs,
bunny on most of the punchlines.
Yeah.
All of them.
That whole,
like he finds the pepula pew,
you know,
the,
like all the sesame
street stuff is so funny uh is bugs bunny like a conscious reference for him is he like no but i
pointed it out to him at one point he was like fuck you're right yeah um he's bugs bunny he's
bugs bunny full mel blank even like he is bugs bunny that's all in there too forgot about that Bunny. Full Mel Blank. Even like in a lanky like Bugs Bunny. He is Bugs Bunny.
That's all in there too. Forgot about that.
Yeah, like he just is
Bugs Bunny.
No, hell yeah. Perfect.
Excellent. God bless.
Man, it's really breaking my heart that
we are six picks deep and not a single
Jewish person has been taken yet.
Well, maybe look in the mirror, bud.
I'm sorry. I don't have a special yet.
And there aren't any other Jewish stand-up comedians.
I want to pick me on Conan.
I got to go, though.
Let's be honest. I'm sure Jews produce all of them.
Oh, we had our fingers
in every single one of these specials.
You're getting a little taste, huh?
Just a little taste.
When you beak a little bit.
We haven't been kept out completely,
just in the shadows.
You got a chance, right? Isn't it your turn?
I can't go full. How many rounds have we done?
We're in the middle of two.
We'll hurry up.
We'll be done by now.
I know it's hard. I keep going like,
I have a story.
I want to talk forever about this.
Who, me? Why I'm old. I know it's hard. I keep going like, I have a story. I want to talk forever about this. It's fantastic.
Who, me?
Why I'm old.
I remember when Millard filmed.
I'm going to take my favorite stand-up comedy special ever.
I could probably get it later, but it's just so important to me.
I'm taking Dressed to Kill by Eddie Izzard.
Now Susie Izzard, but Susie doesn't mind going by Eddie Izzard. Now, now Susie Izzard, but Susie doesn't mind going by Eddie Izzard.
It is, I've told this story so many times,
but it was like a, such an eye-opening special for me.
I had food poisoning and a terrible sunburn,
wrapped up like a mummy on a couch in Mexico
when I was like 14 years old.
I love it.
And this came on HBO and it was like, what?
Like I'd seen standup before, but I was such a little, I was such a little like nerdy book reading, like history obsessed kid. And none of the standup I'd ever seen, like really like touched on that kind of thing before. And then I saw this and I was like funny about all the kinds of things that I was like kind of interested in. And it was so stupid and so smart at the same time.
And I mean, I can recite so many of the bits just like verbatim.
I still watch it all the time.
But it was,
it's just like change it,
like threw a switch in my brain immediately.
And then not one where I was like,
I'm going to do that.
But one where I was like,
that's the best you can be at this.
I just fucking love it.
It's so funny.
I love when, first of all,
you give him his ally points, guys.
Give him his ally points.
Here you go.
Here you go.
Are you on?
He's doing the money thing.
I was clapping.
I thought that's what ally points were.
Can I tell a story?
Sorry, can I tell a story and you guys cut this?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
So three weeks ago,
I saw Sandler
and somebody brought up his comedy albums
and I've known Sandler since the 90s
and so I was like,
Sandler, did those comedy albums
go platinum?
And Sandler, three weeks ago, goes...
A billionaire.
Yeah.
You don't have to cut that.
That's actually like...
I just wanted to make sure you didn't sound like it.
But it's funny when you've known someone long enough that like the money they may it's still like that's the money
that counted now it's all just stupid right but that's money he needed that money paid old bills
like that's that kind of thing like i when am i getting the check for that thing? Yeah.
He earned some of that money for somebody else.
Now it's all like LLCs and offshores and all that shit. Oh, yeah.
But this is like, fuck, yeah.
The money he's making now won't be spent for four generations.
Nope.
Sure won't.
Yeah, man.
His daughter was super...
Both of his daughters were great.
Yeah, they were both great.
Oh, yeah. That movie was really good i liked it that movie was phenomenal um eddie izzard i just
i mean like if you want to hear me talk about it listen to the entirety of this podcast uh
going back 300 episodes it's so fucking good david time for your second and third picks
uh second pick i gotta take pimp chronicles part one fuck oh damn that shit was amazing that special was so amazing
because like the way it came out like i remember the first time i saw it i was getting my haircut
i was at rumors uh and then like i don't even know what that special came out on i don't know
what the distribution i don't know if it was a showtime special or and i don't know what the
fuck it was but it was everywhere. It was like that and Little Wayne
was all I consumed for maybe a fucking year.
And it was just like from the beginning,
so funny.
It was just like, yeah,
I really love that special.
I think he's one of the few comics
that still everything makes me laugh out loud.
Like I can still hear.
What?
I don't think he said who it was.
Oh, Cat Williams. Yeah, just so
we have it. Yeah, Cat Williams.
Saying the word everything cracks me up.
I still...
I do it to so many people who don't get it.
I do it all the time.
So, like, my father-in-law doesn't get
it all the time, though. We'll go to Home Depot and I'll be like,
everything. And he just looks at me
like I'm losing it. And he was the only person to actually say michael jackson was a pedophile
like the only black man to say like yeah what do you he's a fucking pedophile yeah yeah what are
you talking about i don't like that mr jackson i quoted him in my book about stretch marks
either way we fucking way, we fucking.
Either way, we fucking.
Either you were skinny and you got fat,
or you were fat and you got skinny.
Either way, we fucking.
Perfect.
Man, that is just amazing.
In eight words, or however many words,
he fucking nailed it.
He's the most...
I tried to get Trevor Noah to do a joke
at the Grammys of like,
you know, we're all here,
but let's be honest.
The album of the year was Cat Williams
on Club Che Che. It was the song
of the year. It was the album of the year.
It should win an Oscar
for Best Picture. It should win a Nobel
Peace Prize. Like, he's
the most, you know how they say
the Kentucky Derby is the most
exciting 90 seconds in sports?
Cat Williams is the most exciting. That was like, he is the most exciting 90 seconds in sports. Yeah. Cat Williams is the most exciting.
That was like, he's the most riveting.
Like, he walks into any room on earth and everyone goes,
hey, shush, shush, shush, let's hear him out.
Yeah.
I don't know what he is.
Let me, what, let me, huh?
He's fantastic.
The most exciting four feet in entertainment.
Yeah, he's the most exciting four feet in entertainment yeah he's the most exciting 90 seconds in entertainment
like here's an old man
you ready for an old man story
I
did an interview
with like Vulture or something five or six
years ago where they said like something that you like
and I said I liked
Kat's special
where he talked about
Jacksonville for the first 13 minutes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they left it in.
Yeah, and then he left it in.
So then I never met Kat.
And
about a year later, I meet
him and I go, you know,
I mentioned you in an interview.
And he goes, oh, I know, I printed it out.
You printed it out?
Yeah.
And he goes, it's on my kitchen wall.
Kitchen wall.
And he goes, yes, because how often does a comedian
speak well of another comedian?
Which I thought all the time.
And then I watched his Club Shayshan.
I was like, oh,
that's the environment he's used
to. Yes. He doesn't speak. He doesn't
know the comedians speak well of each other.
No, but
but a riveting
you could make a case
the most riveting
stage persona in the history
of the stage.

self-care routines, some stuff that's non-negotiable. I got buddies, they can't skip leg day. Myself,
my schedule is completely packed out with hanging out with my daughter. You try to pepper in work
in there, it's really hard to find the time for those things that I want, that self-care stuff.
I like to walk a lot. I know that sounds ridiculous. And I don't know what fun means, but I do like walking. I love to skateboard,
but it's hard. I got to drive to the park. I got to get warmed up, which takes your boy
a gentleman's half hour these days because these gams ain't what they used to be.
But I know that's what makes me happy. And it's hard to make time for it. When you feel like you

important than ever in that situation. You need to set time. Get it like I keep saying,

get to your third pick, just in case.
And we're back.
Welcome back to All Fantasy Everything already in progress.
David Borey, your third
stand-up comedy special.
All right.
This one is really personal to me
because it was like,
do you remember the first time
you see one of your friends
where you're like,
oh, like, not like,
that's not my,
it's still my friend
and we talk on the phone or whatever, but that's like, you're on this, you're like, oh, like, not like, that's not my, it's still my friend and we talk on the phone or whatever,
but that's like, you're on this, you're a comedian.
What we started trying to do, you're doing it.
And I was at the taping for this one.
I'm taking Sam Jay's last one, Salute Me or Shoot Me.
Oh, yeah.
It was like, the material was amazing.
And like, because me and her came from,
we first met we were comedy
central comics to watch together in like 2013 or something like that and we were the only people
from california and i was like oh thank god you know what and it's just like we've been together
and i talked to her a lot and like watching her put it together and tour it and then being there
and being like sham just saw a fucking HBO this fucking what
we used to fuck you know what I mean
I remember her from doing little like
five minute sets at Bridgetown Comedy Festival
and that was the person like when I was
saying earlier about seeing someone and you're like that person
is going to do something even then I was
like that person is going to do something
I didn't even I always
thought she was funnier than everybody but I didn't
I don't know i don't
think i had the like the wherewithal to be like she's about to go you know what i mean even when
her first special came out because if you listen to her first album at the end when somebody's
talking shit that's me we were all drunk at her house like yelling about comedy you know what i
mean being like oh if this shit works it's gonna be like this and then to watch that and to see she put so much work in it and the set is just tight and i love it when you watch
somebody where you're like because a lot of a lot of times i feel like you watch specials especially
haven't done this now you watch specials with people and you're like uh it feels like that's
not exactly what they wanted to do yeah you know what I mean? Or like, uh,
in somewhere it got lost in translation.
And that's like,
I know from knowing her,
that was like,
she put the time out.
She wanted to,
and it was,
it was a really great to see.
So yeah,
I haven't seen it.
It was good.
I don't have HBO.
Okay.
I don't know.
It was all right. It was all right.
It was all right.
No, I mean,
there's so many stand-up
specials right now.
But yeah,
that one was
a big one to see.
And like,
it was one of those things
where like,
so many people
were at the taping
that it was a lot of us
who would come up
together at the same time.
You know what I mean?
You don't get like
a ton of moments like that, I feel like, in comedy
where everybody's like, we're still here.
We're still alright.
You get to be around for a big deal like that. Yeah, it's a big thing.
Yeah.
With my third pick,
fantastic pick, I'm going to take
your pick was a fantastic pick. I'm not saying
mine's about to be a fantastic pick.
I'm going to take John Mulaney, New in Town.
Yeah, yeah.
It's my favorite John Mulaney.
The eponymous bit is so fucking funny.
I don't know what that word means.
The one that the title is derived from.
From which the title is derived.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where he talks about running into a guy in New York
who tried to hit him up for money.
Like, I'm gay.
I have AIDS.
I'm new in town.
It's just one of those people where like the,
just like the funniest dripping off of them,
where it's just like every,
I don't know.
The voice is funny.
The bits are immaculate.
There's the sense of the absurd that he can like take and spin to a,
like a mass appeal audience.
It's just really,
really fantastic.
And I love it.
My favorite part.
He goes,
I saw a wheelchair that was tipped over and you like to think it was a
miracle.
It's just that one little line.
It's a,
yeah,
it's,
he's fantastic.
And that makes me want to put him in one of my five minute,
his Conan O'Brien from 2006.
You know
when you do a bit, when you do the first
three weeks you're doing it, it works better
than it settles.
I was
like, I want to trap a bit
on TV in
that area. And he goes, I did it
on Conan.
His Law and Order bit, he did it in the first three weeks on Conan. And he goes, I did it on Conan. He, well, his law and order bit,
the first,
he did it in the first three weeks on Conan.
And it's just like,
like more exciting,
crushing.
It's fantastic.
I got a little list going of stuff to watch.
Yeah.
Right.
As prime as it'll ever be.
It's so funny.
What do you think it is that happens to bits?
Is it just,
you become less connected to them? You don't, you don you don't you're there's an energy when you're when it's a fresher
point that you there's a fear and an excitement in your voice that human beings can sense yeah
and there's nothing it's so fucking frustrating that it goes away but like oh no we can sense
everything yeah they know everything right it Right. It's like new love.
It's like when you first meet a girl,
you know what I mean?
Like that,
that excitement is still there and everything is perfect.
Cause after a while you're like,
I still love this shit.
It was not like perfect anymore,
but that first few weeks,
man.
Oof.
That's a,
that's the best feeling.
Yep.
John Mulaney.
Conan O'Brien.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
And on Netflix with New and Do.
Neil, time for your third pick.
I mean, this is impossible.
Yeah.
But I'm going to go with Bill Hicks' Revelations.
Oh, sure.
It's shot in England in 1993,
probably a year or less before he died.
And I shouldn't say it's a little self-righteous.
Hicks is very self-righteous.
Is he wearing the cowboy hat?
Yeah, he's wearing the cowboy hat.
That special's intense.
Yeah.
It's fucking... Yeah. I watched it after american came out yeah it's like really he's just he uh he's just leaning into it he doesn't do any like
road energy he just does like he because he was popular in in England and he wasn't that popular here
so it was like sort of a man
in his
in full flight
and it's great it's got a bit about
the Iraq war
and it's just got like
American foreign policy
and pick up the gun
just like it's killer
does it have the bit where he's like, it's just a ride?
Is that the same special?
Not really.
That's, no, I don't think it does.
It might be in there.
I don't know.
He gets shot at the end.
He gets fake shot.
Right, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
And I don't remember if he says it's just a ride.
I know he would say that,
but I don't know if he says it in that one.
It's so funny the way,
like if you go play hyenas in Dallas or in Fort Worth,
they have this massive mural of like Bill Hicks in the club,
which is very nice,
right?
Like it's very nice.
It's like the crowd never sold the place out.
He never would have.
Yeah.
He never sold the place out.
I mean,
he probably did,
but you know,
I knew.
Yeah,
it is.
Crowds who go there would fucking like the most of the people who go to that club would have fucking walked out of his shows.
It's so funny what time does.
Comedy wars.
So there's like, there's a club up in Fort Collins that has a big mural of Patrice on it.
And it's like, he was never, this club's like three years old.
Yeah.
Even the owner, even if the owner of the club is not old enough to really,
you know what I mean?
It's like,
had it mattered that much.
Yeah.
Sean,
we got to go quick,
but you're next.
I will.
We'll back to back him.
So,
uh,
third is Bill Burr.
You people are all the same.
It's my favorite.
The one with the shotgun spread,
what,
you know,
it's got a nice spread.
I think it's the one where he's talking about roofing when he's like his dad
just fixing shit. And he's like
his mom just being like, ah, it's just that way.
But it's another thing where you see somebody
doing stuff
like all these younger
idiot dudes think they can do
and then they... Because someone
like Bill Burr makes it look so easy
and effortless to do this
crazy shit about his parents growing up and their rocky like Bill Burr makes it look so easy and effortless to do this like crazy
shit about like his,
his parents growing up and like their,
their like Rocky relationship and all this stuff.
Just perfect.
And I just love the confidence,
the cadence,
the voice,
the squeaks,
the resting on the stand.
I don't know.
It just,
does that have the Schwarzenegger bit in it?
No,
I don't think that's that one.
I think that one.
Yeah.
See,
there's like, I mean, there's four
of them so close together.
Burr has the best. I would put...
I don't know. I kind of think Burr has the most good
specials. Yeah. I mean, it's
hard to pick one, but to me
that's my favorite.
It's not in this special, but him talking about
Steve Jobs.
Eat a pear.
A pretentious fruit like a pear. Pretentious fruit like a pear.
It's just such a funny little detail to me.
Jeans with no belt.
He did a joke about the WNBA,
which was so,
which I'm like, you know,
like you get, like you become sensitive about,
like Twitter is like,
you can't make fun of the WNBA.
And then he came out and like,
it's just, oh, it's so just,
it's the exact right take.
It's the exact right take it's the exact
right way to make fun of it where nobody can't laugh at it you know it's like a good lawyer he
just like disarms you before you yeah and he makes all these younger comics think they can
and they can't they can't do it they gotta try i've never really seen anybody i've never seen
anybody try to be burr i've never seen anybody try to do it i don't feel like that in the same
way that you see people try to be like Kyle
you know what I mean
I feel like there's always a comedian in general
or like now you see a lot of people doing just Shane Gillis
speak of the devil
what are you talking about
fourth pick I'll go Kyle Kinane
which one?
Whiskey Icarus
I just think Kyle
sure really good friend
but if you take that out of
there before any of us were friends with him to me anyways, he's just exactly what I would like
to do. He makes it seem realistic. Like it's possible. He's so funny. He just cranks stuff
out so much and it's all good. He's just, I don't know. I just, I love it. And that was like,
that was probably the intro to him for me.
That, uh, the big like pointy beard.
I think that was probably the first one
where like, right?
I know he had a presents back in the day,
but anyway.
I think that was the one he did
in San Francisco, right?
Yeah.
He had like the pointy beard.
I don't know.
I mean, that was way,
that was a little later
because I knew him when.
Yeah, I did too.
It was probably like 2017. Yeah maybe I did know him a little bit but I don't know I just I love it I just you know I had to put him on the list he's amazing I love him as a
person Kyle with some hair on top yeah yeah so yeah Kyle Kinane, Whiskey Icarus. Beautiful. Neil, real quick. Oh, fuck.
Me again?
Yeah, dude.
I will go with...
Let's go Norm MacDonald, the one, Hitler's Dog.
I don't remember.
Oh, fuck.
It's so good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Was it the one with the big leather jacket on?
I don't know.
It's the one.
It's the second to last one.
It's not the it's not the Zoom one.
It's not me doing stand up.
I think it's called it's like Hitler's dog gossip and trickery.
It's got Hitler's dog in the name.
Yeah.
OK.
Is this the first thing that happens after you die is that you are found?
Is that in this one?
I think so, yeah.
Oh my god. It's so...
Now in retrospect, knowing
he knew he was dying doing
that stuff, it's like, holy shit.
Yeah. Makes it even more
I don't remember any of the bits. I don't remember
I don't remember anything
specific. I just know
like, you
gotta put him on there. He's someone that... And I don't say that know like, you gotta put him on there.
He's someone that...
And I don't say that as like,
and now that he's...
The death doesn't make a difference to me.
Because he was so kind of like
not in the comedy community,
or at least the one I'm in.
So it was like, he was never
that present.
So his absence now isn't even that more significant.
Interesting.
Yeah, I only interacted with him through his specials.
Sean O'Connor, ironically, worked with him all the time.
But I think he kept it tight circle.
Yeah.
I got to perform a couple times.
I was sick.
He told me the funniest.
No, we don't have time.
Never mind.
Sean O'Connor told me a really great Norm MacDonald opening story.
Yeah.
I'm going to take Zach Galifianakis live at the purple onion it's great totally yeah absolutely so fucking funny so silly
just like the kind with the thing you watch it where you're like well i don't do that i could
never do that but i'm so glad somebody's doing that it's so far away you're like oh this isn't
even possible for me i can just enjoy it with no jealousy yeah it's just it's just like a full performance from start to finish like of a person inhabiting like that
elevated character of themselves it's so fun and the interviews with himself as his brother
so funny yeah uh david for your fourth and final picks uh fourth pick i'm gonna go oh this is just this
is the first one that came to mind it's the last most recent special i watched that really made me
laugh and felt like another person where he's really hitting his i'm putting a dance odor on
the road oh i didn't see it yet it's fucking amazing man he has this what i've been hearing
a guatemalan wedding and they took they just, like, so many bits in it.
I'm like, man, like, when you hear that,
when you have that feeling where you're like,
I wish I could have got to that first,
or, like, he has a joke about how he wants to be dumber,
just turn the lights down a little bit.
Just, like, from beginning to end,
I watched it, and I laughed out loud.
Like, no cynicism, no, like,
oh, I see what he's doing there.
You know what I mean?
You kind of watch comedy specials shitty. Now, it was just, like, it was, no like, oh, I see what he's doing. You know what I mean? You kind of watch comedy specials shitty.
Now it was just like, it was just like a guy on the road killing for 40 minutes.
I really love it.
And then I guess to close out.
Lightning round.
Oh, Baby Cobra.
Ali Wong.
I really love that special.
Oh, hell yeah.
I just had a fun time from San Francisco having like, you know what I mean?
Those people who started before you started
and you see them kind of like blow up
and it's like she's pregnant and it didn't seem
corny. It just was like
this is where I'm at at the time. Fun, fun
special.
Excellent pick.
My last one, I'm going Gary
Goldman, The Great Depresh.
Just a phenomenal joke writer.
And that one really, the way he, I mean,
I could have taken his most recent special too,
which was also so, so good.
But this one I think hit me in like a big way.
Just the things he was talking about,
the way he made them so funny.
He's somebody where like I will watch his specials
and my brain will start firing
and I'll just start like texting myself.
I'm not like taking,
I'm not like being like,
oh, he has a joke about this.
Oh, that's funny.
I'll have it.
But there's, yeah,
but there's, I'll have that.
But there's something about the way
he writes and performs
that like just gets my brain firing.
Sure.
To where I'm like,
oh yeah, start sending myself ideas.
He's like a kickstart myself
back into standup mode standup.
Neil, your final pick.
I'm just going to shotgun it.
I'm going to go Sebastian.
I don't remember which one.
The one...
Any of Sebastian's first one or two.
No, that's Bill Burr.
Sebastian, why would you do that?
What's wrong with people?
Maybe that's something.
Ha. He could have a special
called Ha.
Is it me?
Yeah.
Jim Jeffrey's
Freedom. It's got the
gun bit in it. It's got a few
bits in it that are excellent.
Earthquake had one.
Earthquake's last one on
Netflix a year and a half ago
was excellent. Like 32 minutes.
He killed. He killed.
If you're sleeping on Earthquake, wake up.
I mean, there's so many. I feel like there's...
Maybe it's gone away, but there's people who are like, oh, I don't know.
He's so...
Everything out of his mouth is funny. He also did a special
six years ago
where he fucks a joke up,
doesn't catch it, and then
they leave it in 40 seconds later.
He's like, I fucked that joke up.
And he's like, oh, fuck you.
You never fuck up at work.
It was just a great thing to leave in.
That's charming. I love it.
Yeah. And Mitch Hedberg's half hour comedy. That was going to leave in. Yeah. That's charming. I love it. Yeah. And Mitch Hedberg's
half hour
comedy.
I was going to be
my last pick.
Sorry.
Sorry, I ate it.
No, you're good.
So, well, let's just count that.
So, like, I heard,
and I swear I remember
seeing this.
Like, his,
the whole thing,
I used to have it on DVD.
It's like an hour or something.
But he goes, he leaves.
Like, he comes out
and he starts.
And he does 10 or 20.
And then he's like,
I'm going to start over. And he leaves. and he starts and he does 10 or 20. And then he's like, I'm going to start over and he leaves.
He comes back and just does the whole set again.
Is it, am I right?
He did that.
I was at the taping.
He, he, uh, you were there.
Yeah.
So he didn't, I don't remember him leaving.
I remember him just being like, this is going bad.
And then it's a, it's a thing that Chappelle says, which is like, you know how funny someone is
by how they bomb?
And it was like a prime example of that.
Like, oh, I'm bombing,
but now we're all going to bomb.
Yeah.
And then he just sat down.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was one of the first things I remember seeing
where I just, yeah, like that,
where you're like, oh man, it's not always perfect.
Like whatever they present to you,
but it was still perfect. It's amazing.
Yeah, it was also like
11.30 on a Friday,
Thursday or Friday. It like
just was not, it was hot.
It just was like, had zero
attributes. Nobody helping them out.
Yeah, I also would like to put
Tosh and Sarah Silverman on there. Just one of their specials. I helping them out. Yeah, I also would like to put Tosh and Sarah Silverman
on there. Just one of their
specials. I don't know. I think we
gotta throw it. Ima Be Me, Wanda Sykes.
Oh, yeah.
As well.
Yeah, if we're throwing it. I mean... If we can take a
late night set, I gotta take Tig pushing
the stool around. Oh, God, that's good.
It's crazy to me that
that was on TV. That was so... And it's just perfect. So that, Tig pushing that stool around. I don't think I's good. It's crazy to me that that was on TV. And it's just perfect.
So that, Tig pushing that stool around.
I don't think I've seen that.
Also, Rory's saying, do you like anal on
Conan? Who's doing it?
There's shit everywhere.
Rory and John Doerr doing their
tandem set on Conan.
That's amazing.
Ron Funches is first Conan, just because
that was the first guy from our entire scene. And you're like, oh, he's on TV. That's amazing. Ron Funches is first Conan, just because that was the first guy from our entire scene.
And like, you're like, oh, he's on TV.
That's the craziest.
That's the craziest feeling.
What's going on?
That was Alex Cole for us.
Yeah.
I feel bad for this generation right now where I'm like,
what is that?
The equivalent.
Don't tell Sarah.
Don't tell.
