Francis, I still want to
cook that thing up, man. This is Patreon
so we can talk a little bit about it.
But I want to
start, you know how in sports they have
or basketball players, they have the Players' Tribune?
I want to start the Comics Tribune. And you know how in like sports they have like uh or basketball players they have the players tribune i want to start the comics tribune and i and you know francis is a great writer and he claims to be a great editor and i think it'd be great if francis was involved in that in some
way or shape or form and shaping it but i want a place when a comic has a beef with something
you know if louis ck wants to make a statement If Dina Hashem Wants to talk about
Her experience
That's great
I want a place
Where we can talk
And it's not going
To be politicized
By anybody
Well obviously Kaz
We got another journalist
In the building
We got to protect
Schultz for the comic culture
Come on man
We're going for the comedy culture
You know what I realized
And this is what pissed me off
About Judd Apatow
It's like comedy's been
So good to me
He's not a comic
No no it's like
Comedy's been so good to me
So I could never really be critical of a comic
unless I knew he stole or I knew he was bad.
But when Jug came out against P. Good, for instance,
when Jug came out against fucking Louie and shit
and didn't even really know what the whole context was,
it was like, yo, comedy's been so good to you.
It's been so good.
Yeah.
I think he was letting his personal feelings about Lou, because I don't think he likes Louis.
From what I understand, he hates Louis.
But yeah, it's like-
That makes a lot more sense.
I mean, how much are you going to kick a guy, you know?
At least I can have context for his lashing out.
Whereas before, I was just like, he struck me as a type of guy who loved stand-up, but could never be a good stand-up and was good at something else.
But it always-
He still thinks he's a stand-up. It's like, bro, that's- That's not what you do. You did stand-up. You aren't a stand-up, but like could never be a good stand-up and was good at something else. But it always, he still thinks he's a stand-up.
It's like, bro, that's,
you did stand-up.
You aren't a stand-up.
That's what I told him.
A couple guys went out of their way
to just kick him out.
Yeah.
You're not a stand-up.
No, I said, I was like, listen,
I was like, you backed into this.
You know what I mean?
Like everything you say
affects the guys that aren't you.
That's not wrong.
Like you enable canceling people for jokes.
What do you think happens
to these guys that do $1,500 weekends in Utah?
So what did he say when you said all that?
Because I heard you said that to him.
I was like, yeah.
He's like, yeah.
Where did you hear that from?
Somebody at the cellar was saying like you went up and you were like, hey, that's not cool.
Yeah.
He was sitting at the back table and just talking to everybody.
I was like, yo, what's up with the thing with Louie?
I didn't like jump down his throat.
I was like, just explain to me.
Talk to me about it. You know? know and it's like i just need to
know where you're standing i just don't need to know where you are i don't think you're gonna do
anything for my career yeah i don't think not that i care for you to do anything i care about comedy
at the end of the day so it's just like what's up and he was like yeah i just thought it was
an inappropriate joke and it's like that's not up not up to you. It's not your decision.
Who are you?
It's up to the audience.
Godfather of comedy?
He's done a lot of work with survivors of Parkland,
and I respect that.
That's fine.
But at the same time, it's like,
you don't got to.
But he's telling a joke.
Exactly.
In a comedy club.
And he's right.
You would pick the fattest kid to put in front of you.
Yeah, but he's telling.
If you need a shield That was a kid
I would pick a fat kid
That would be the most shield
Yeah 100%
Yeah you can't
You would pick a skinny kid
No you just can't
Pick out the things
You don't like
Because they affect you personally
And say this person
Shouldn't be able to say this
Man come on
Because if everyone does that
Then nobody can tell any jokes
Son there's no more comedy
So what did he say though
When you asked him that
You know he was just like
Yeah I just felt like, you know,
it was inappropriate, the joke, and I was like, yeah, but you have to understand
you're enabling a cancel culture that
doesn't affect you. You
are affected zero by this culture.
Akash is. Well said.
So you have to look out for Akash, because
comedy's been good to you.
You know what I mean? Like, Akash needs that
weekend. And what did he say as that?
He just kind of shrugged it off
and kind of...
He's like, yeah, you know,
I just was...
I have a little close connections
with these kids
and I was like, yeah,
but it doesn't matter.
You have to understand
like it means more.
What you do means something
to people
and you're enabling it
and then it affects us all.
It's really what I'm saying.
It might not affect me
but it's going to affect somebody
who's just getting into
selling tickets.
Do you think he was virtue signaling a little bit?
Like, hey, I'm a great guy.
Let everybody see how much I'm popular.
It's so popular to shit on Louis.
And that's the one thing that I get with people that have such a huge fucking platform and are so fucking famous.
It's almost like they have pressure from people.
Like, oh my God, you have to say something, Judd.
You don't. You have to say something Judd You don't
You have to say it
And you don't
You really fucking don't
Like especially if you're
Like somebody who
Loves stand up
And loves like the culture
Of comedy as much as
You claim to
Like it's like bro
Like you should be
The one telling people
Like you know
It's really not my place
It's really not my place
If you understand
You don't have to say
Anything about it
You don't have to tweet
A single thing
You don't know what
You know he's just
Trying to make people laugh
At the end of the day
And people did laugh
So
It's just one of those things
It's just one of those things
He was reasonable with it
Like listen
You say what you want about Judd
That motherfucker executes
Yeah
It's like he does the hardest thing in this business
Put a lot of money in people's pockets too
Simple as that
Always respect
Everybody got ideas for sketches
Everybody got ideas for movies
Very few people do them.
He's going to do the things
that most comics won't do,
which is write the script.
Yeah.
Most comics aren't going
to write the one page.
They're not going to write
the description of the show.
They're not going to do the pitch.
That motherfucker will do it.
And that's where he is
where he is.
Simple as that.
Does he write them
or does Seth write them?
I heard he does more
of an outline, right?
He does something.
In the beginning,
he did it. You don't get there by accident in the beginning you do it
and then eventually you earn the ability to not
I'm not knocking that
my only knock was
you can't come for us
because
we've been good to you
we being comedy
we've been good to you
it takes a certain amount of,
I don't know if it's gall
or if it's balls or what,
to show up to the comedy club
the next week after you do that.
Because he knows,
I mean, first of all,
I think he knows he's not talking to nobody
when he talks to you,
but he also knows where he is.
He's in,
he's coming back home
after talking shit about the family.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like, so I think he was with him
Extra like
Yeah I get where you're coming from
But
Here's where I'm coming from
I think he was more like
Political or whatever the word is
Cause he
He's saying it in a comedy
We're at the cellar
That's the fucking mecca
That's the haven for comics
That's the place to protect Louis
Yeah
That's the place to protect Louis
Because we believe in freedom of speech
I don't agree with 90% of the people on that Louis Because we believe In freedom of speech I don't agree with
90% of the people
On that stage
But I believe in this
And
Just walking back in there
And we'll let you in too
But you're gonna have to
Deal with everybody else
Yeah
Yeah I mean you know
I think the thing
That got overlooked
Is like there was somebody
Who recorded a set
At a thing
It's like
That was illegal probably
Yeah that's like
The worst part about it
It probably took cell phones
Before that
And like all these things
it did well in the room
same shit with
it did well in the room
that whole concept
when it was
what's his name
from Daniel Tosh
it was like
it did well in the room
the whole room was laughing
he wasn't telling it
to be recorded
for everyone to hear
and judge
that's why it's an issue
yeah
if it doesn't do well
in the room
they're okay
the issue is when it does well in the room, they're okay. Thank you.
The issue is when it does well in the room.
They can't, nobody can stand being laughed at.
It drives them fucking nuts.
So an innocent comment made somewhere with no laughter, they can stomach.
But when a whole room full of people is laughing at the person you love and the person who you are they're like i need to get back i need payback i need payback against this evil person yeah louis comeback is gonna be something yo low-key that motherfucker is mad brave son because
imagine everyone thought you were a rapist and you were still just walking
around dog he addressed like yeah he had a line i forget what the line is but he said something
like i really think he's a rapist son these bitches think he's i mean he's weird like i mean
because that's what he is like the tear of like i know the canceled and the and the whole time's
up shit like but for some reason very low on the board it is but he's like
high on the board
son
I think it's because
he was such a hero
to everybody
because he was successful
and he would grandstand a bit
and he would judge
everybody else
and there was something
I was the number one guy
shitting on Louie before
I was just like
he
to me he was not
a great entertainer
I always thought
Bill Burr is as smart as Louie
and much more entertaining
Louie I wanted to like and I could never finish a special.
Every time I was like, I'm just bored.
But I think there was also something about his comedy that was kind of like looking down at a lot of people.
And I think when you find out he's just this fucking whatever, it's like, oh, we feel betrayed by you.
And that kind of condescending thing, now we're going to bring that wrath down.
Yeah, that could be it.
And it was early in the Me Too.
And it wasn't as ridiculous as it used to be.
When it was hot, when every week it was somebody, he was one of the first big ones out there.
So it's going to take a while.
And he also made the big mistake that they all make of writing those long, embarrassing fucking apology letters.
Nobody cares about those apologies.
It just makes you look worse.
It's like admitting you did something wrong,
especially when you didn't do...
With what you did is not commiserate
to the punishment they're asking for.
And then you apologize on top of that.
It's like you're fucking admitting it.
You're going like, you guys are right, I'm a rapist.
When it's like, you're just a fucking creep.
He's a creepy motherfucker, bro.
You know what line won me back over from Louis?
He got on stage
and he said to the audience,
I like to jerk off
and I don't like being alone.
That's so good.
Yeah, yeah, that is great.
That's so good.
Yeah.
I forgot who said this,
but now it's impossible.
But somebody said
Bill Cosby should have
did the same shit.
What?
He tried to.
A girl walked off
to the bathroom at his show
and he said,
don't leave your drink open around me or something like that. Some wild shit. Yeah, He tried to. A girl walked off to the bathroom at his show and he said, don't leave your drink
open around me
or something like that.
Some wild shit.
Yeah, like,
I was like,
yo, Bill Cosby went back
to stand up
and just lean the fuck in.
Like, and he was a free man,
obviously.
Like, it would have been awesome.
I think it would have been awesome.
Yo, what if he just
started cursing?
Oh.
If he just,
I've been holding this in.
But that's the thing, though.
I was holding it in
because I was raping
all these girls.
But fuck. Fuck, man. Damn Damn it worked as a cover for 40 years
You didn't suspect shit
If you ask any black person in the industry
They'll tell you Bill was about to buy NBC
And then all of a sudden this news leaked
On some Miko Grimes NFL type shit
Why would that
Why wouldn't people care
Why would people care if he bought NBC or not
It's conspiratorial shit.
But just back to like,
you know how like in certain cultures,
like Japanese culture,
like they're super polite
because they let them fuck with like tentacle porn.
Like they give that ability to do that.
You're allowed to do that.
Maybe that was his tentacle porn.
Maybe that,
that his rape shit
enabled him to be the best clean comic ever.
I mean, it's kind of...
And he managed to bury him.
He saves, but he rapes.
He saves, but he rapes.
No, I'm not saying it's good.
I'm just saying he had that evil outlet
so he could be this clean super guy.
I just think he might be a dirtbag.
Every clean comic I
come across, I admire it.
First of all, I admire it, but I'm going like,
what are you hiding? Bargatze. All of them.
I know Bargatze personally.
What is Nate Hiding? I don't know why I fuck with Bob's.
You ever drink with him? No, I talk to him.
He's wild. He goes wild.
Like what? What does he do?
He'll say some wild stuff. He'll curse. What kind of wild stuff? Nothing. Just wild. He's just, you know, he goes wild. Yeah. Like what? What does he do? He'll say some wild stuff.
He'll curse.
Yeah.
What kind of wild stuff?
I mean, nothing, you know, just wild.
Just not the stuff you see in his act.
What kind of wild stuff?
Good man.
Give us a type of answer.
Good man.
That type of answer.
Yo, what's up?
This is Akash.
