Nate Bergazzi Dana is a great stand up. Just climbing up very fast. Not quite a household name, but very close. He's selling out all over the place and killing. Unbelievable. So here we are. This is kind of a cool episode for us, because Nate just did Saturday Night Live, crushed it. And we're getting them a couple of days later.

So I bet he's still kind of flying from the experience. That would be normal. So we get to check in with all that stuff. It's really fun. Check his pulse, check his step counter. Yeah, was there regret? I mean, when you hosted, I remember you'd call me and I would just hear whimpering and I said,

David, you did fine. You crushed it. And then I go, did you see it? You go, no, but I heard you did mango. But we'll get into that. You did mango. And you did. That's when you got the you had like a mini skirt on or something. That's we had high heels and Yes, anyway. But Nap Pregatsy's here. I would listen to this if I were you and I'm talking to you, David. I'd listen to it mostly even just to hear me. No, Nate's a really nice guy. We had a great time talking to him.

Yeah, maybe he'll be a prick on this, change things up. You know, Dana, what's it say? Every time I do a corporate, I think I follow you, Viga. Oh, because there's the amount of people doing corporates. There's like five of us there doing them. Well, it's your time now, but you know what? There's a lot of tricks I use.

I read their website, I get their vernacular, and I pretend that I'm an expert, whether it's a tech company or anything, I'm there actually, get some on my side, but they can be chilly, right? I mean, even you, what's got one of the best acts out there right now, for sure. I mean, is it tough for you to do corporate,

or you're pretty much... I do, I mean, I just do what I'm doing, my act being clean. So, uh, but they can be, it's really just matters. The set up, it's a set up how you introduced and I, they're not as, you know, when you get to, uh, uh, level where they can be, you know, it's like the stage. It's nice. And some places they can be really good. Uh, yeah. And but then, yes, some can be there far away from some places they can be really good.

Yeah. But then, yes, some can be there far away from you or they can't hear you or whatever. Yeah. Well, I can't hear you or I was recently played corporate in Hawaii and it was like at 10.30 night driving wind outdoors on a little tiny stage and there was like 20 of them scattered, a lot of empty seats, kind of hung over and looking at me. So I brought the CEO out of the audience just to riff with him because I don't really, I wish I,

when I see someone like you or Jerry Seinfeld or David Spade who has just this great material, you know, I'm up there dancing for my money, you know, I had it in it, you know. I just want to ask you this question because I was curious about that. So you've got your tour and all your stand-up dates. And so, okay, you go your home, you're resting.

And then someone calls and says, there's this corporate date. And you're like, well, I just got off the road, I don't want to do it. And then they come back with more and more and more. And eventually it gets to a cartoon number where you feel like you have to go. Or is that? Or are you in the place where like, okay, I'm off, I don't care who calls. You would, yeah, I mean, you still, I mean, now I'm on the road,

but it's like next year in the fall, I'm taking off next the fall. Next year, 24. Yeah, I'm just like a year from now. Yeah, the year goes all the way to June for July. Yeah, yeah, I got taken a special and then I'll take a special then I'll be off from like next this time next fall to whatever may, you know, some of 25 and then do another one. I saw, I looked at your side, I saw your dates and I was interesting that you, like Brian Regan before you, you're clean, really clean and hilarious.

So you could do an afternoon show and you could do a second show. But what I was curious about is like your monologue on SNL, is that, can that be in your next special or is that in your mind, you can't use it? No, I think I will. I mean, it's in my act now. With SNL thing, I mean, I gotta go,

I'm going to Pioria Wednesday in Chicago. So, yeah. And so I'll be doing it. I have other stuff surrounding that. So it'll be, I was be doing it. I have other stuff surrounding that. So it'll be, you know, I was worried about it. Like, all right, is it going to be burnt? Like, if it's means on what it how it does to, you know, if it got so crazy, but I mean,

I think people want to see that stuff live. And it's all attached to a bigger chunk. So I wasn't, I kind of got, oh, I first I was worried about it. Then I kind of got over it, just thinking like it was gonna be burnt and be like, you know, it's like doing a late night set where you're like, here's just a taste of what my hours are.

You know, I get people give me a flax sometimes. Like, oh, you did, oh, that was all new stuff. I mean, I saw some of it on Ellen, and I'm like, well, some of these bits are like batter since, because you do a talk show, you're just coming up with that week, you're just throwing something together and then you stumble into something you like

and then you make it into a bigger chunk and it gets better and sharper. But most people don't mind hearing some stuff you've done before because that's part of the fun. And I think one problem with some comics is they go on and they go special to or a special tour and the specials get a little softer because there's almost no way to grind it out that fast

to make it that good. Like you're like, where's my whole bit? Where's my bit about this? Where's my tried and true killers? Do I have that on this hour? I feel that way sometimes. I'm like, fuck, I miss some of those ones. It would just key rush, you know?

Yeah, yeah, there it's, you know, it's like, I think I do a special for every two years or I have been, this last one I had to build up really fast. And everything's been kind of going so fast so it's been But that's why I'm gonna take off next. I got to I need to live as normal of a life as I can to come up with material like you just got You know, that's why I have so much material when you first start because you're You're not as busy so you're doing regular stuff and then you get your bits. Yeah, yeah, that's true. You all your bits are about being on the road

Airflin is flying and about the money gun he takes when he sprays it like he's Travis Scott his trip He's like That's what he does. That's all you should open now. Give so much money Just spray just like you have one of your openers just go buy hundreds from the bank and then you reload it and you come out the wheelbarrow. Yeah, this is what this is this what finner of bus. So we got to get rid of some of it. Yeah, it's have it. The money in your bus is making so heavy you have to get rid of. Well, yeah, I mean, it's it's always a curiosity. a curiosity. I'm a celebrity net worth guy. So I'm always fascinated by people like you

for the first time. I mean, I said, 2017, you did a half hour special. You're growing, you're growing, you're growing. You're doing these specials. You're getting bigger, bigger, bigger. So where are you now on the surreality of this coming off of SNL? It just seems like the last five years

was the big, you were famous, you're doing great, but then it just went, whoosh, right? I mean, bigger, bigger rooms. When did it start? When did you first, you want me to play what and how many seats? Yeah, it was after the stand-ups, the half hour on Netflix, that was like when I started like clubs

and people were kind of coming out and I knew they knew me. But I was like starting to sell out clubs and that was kind of moving forward. And after the Tennessee kid was kind of out of clubs kind of moving to theaters and going in that direction. And then you know when you're in a theater you kind of know that everybody's there to see it because it's usually, I mean, it's more of a habit.

It's not just people going to that club every week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's like once that, then that's in a kid that happened then the greatest average American like, that was there in COVID and outdoors. I did the outdoor. Oh, I'm over that one.

I did the driving theaters. And, you know, the outdoor one, I mean, that helped just being put in a special out there in that time, I think was a giant thing because so many people watched it and started this podcast that I do. And so it's like, I just kind of kept, as busy as you could be with other circumstances,

is the most I ever worked with COVID. I got just only indoors. But you can't tour on that special, unfortunately, like you can't jump on it. Like I did the wrong missing. It was like I celebrated in my own house, eating a pot pie because I couldn't leave. They go, your movie's number one in the world.

I'm like, great. There's nothing I came to go to a restaurant and have dinner. We were wide open, so we celebrated it. Oh, yeah, I'm in Stupid California. We're still on lockdown, yeah. I'm not supposed to do podcasts. Yeah, that's what I do in all Zoom.

I have to report to the governor if I leave my room. Right now, I have no script. I governor if I leave my room. Right now I have no script. I'm just full transparency right now. I am not acting from a script. I'm making up everything I say in real time. If Sag is listening. Oh, if Sag is listening, that's right. If Sag is listening, I'm not.

We are not on a script. No matter how witty and fun this podcast has been so far, listeners, we are not, this is not, Yeah. Everything I say sounds like it's written by professional comedy writers, but I'm not. I'm just talking. It's all tight. So I'm just curious because I, you're like, so unflappable on stage, everyone says that, right? And it's so comfortable to watch you because you never seem to, you're just telling a story and then you have so many laugh points stacking and stacking.

But internally having this happen to you, it's just five, six years and you're married and you're friends and you're sister Abigail, we met and stuff. I mean, do you have a nervous place or a, because now you're coming out late, ladies and gentlemen, Nate, but, you know, because I feel pressure. There was a point where I'm going to a club to work out material, get ready to fasten your left safety belt. He's bringing it tonight. You know, it's like, do you feel pressure at all? Or you just feel joy? Or what are you, or you numb? Uh, no, you do. You feel like you got to live up to the expectations that they have when they come. I don't want to fall off. I don't want to be doing shows and they're just in my jokes are good

for my crowd. Because I think that's when people can, it kind of starts going away, is like, if you don't realize it, and then you're just doing jokes that like or for your audience they laugh at it because they love you but you're never gonna, you know you're not a great-of-the-com customers. Yeah, you want to, that's why I mean, as to know, that's why this was such a big kind of thing because I was going in front of an audience that is the, you know, it's like, they're just you. They're not there to see me. And there are most people,

when I got picked to host, most people are like, I don't know who I am. Yeah, a lot of people were mad, yeah. Yeah, people were upset. They're like, who is this guy that he is? I was just in a bad mood for a couple of days. I don't know, it's not them personal.

No, but what? I was in chitzen people were pissed.. I don't know, it's nothing personal. No, but what did I do? I was in churches and people were pissed. They were just talking about it. They're tailing next to me. Who is this? Nate Berknot, fuck you. That's the guy. I'm just going on.

I just want to know about the call, the phone call. Was it a slow build or did it hit you like really? I mean, I knew they came to a show in... I knew I was like on the radar. Like, my agents told me, and I mean, this was probably a few months ago. I would say it's this year. Cause it was, yeah, I would say it was this year.

And so I knew it was like on, I was on the radar, someone, maybe this summer actually. And then you know did think much about it and then uh then uh then I'm in my agent or mange they say like you know they're like you know or jinxed but I mean you might be able to do it. And I knew after that Lauren you know because we met Lauren at Melanie's birthday party. Yeah. Me and or I met him there for the first time. Oh, yeah. It was spayed.

And I didn't, like I didn't learn that, you know, I shook his hand, but I didn't, he didn't talk to me or say, like, oh, hey, like it was, I knew he, he didn't watch my special up at that point. And then after that is when he watched the last special Hello World. And then, uh, so I knew he liked that special. And then that's when I kind of heard maybe October 28th was gonna be the day. And so it was like kind of getting real,

but then it was like, well, maybe not. And so then it was like, you know, it was just kind of one of those you're like, maybe I'll do it. And then it, Lauren pulled me aside, he goes, David, who's the guy eating the lasagna? And I go, oh, that's Nate. He goes,

the way he twists his fork, I bet he could host. I think he's got that certain something. That's that's Lauren. He's on the flaple when you meet him and he checks in with former cast members. I got the call. Oh, do you think he has what it takes? I Think so. I think it's a good move. I think it's a change up the new host. Oh, Well, you scared about the sketches or did you work that work? Yeah, no, I was and they were, you know, I mean, I hit you up. I was like trying to ask everybody. It's like, I didn't know the cue cards and, you know, I mean, you know, I was

like being on TV. I'm not on TV, you know, it's like, I don't, I'm not on TV, I'm on, I do a special and you got like, where the lights on to be like, well, that camera's on, all this kind of stuff that, you know, you can try your whole special too, you get to pick and choose how it is, what do you look like, what you're wearing. Yeah, so it was, you know, that kind of stuff, I mean, I was excited, I was very excited. The whole week I was very sad. I got very nervous during dress rehearsal. Not dress rehearsal, the run through on Saturday with no audience. That one I was like, kinda.

Cause I remember like looking, I mean, we did the washing sketch. When we ran it the first time, I mean, did I'm looking the opposite of every camera on the fan. I mean, I don't even know what lights are, you know, I don't know how to know which one's on. And I mean, I'm just like following the wrong,

you know, the wrong thing. Do you wear your wig in that, and the day time I can't remember, Dana, you wear your all your shit. They would at least put them halfway on, probably. Just to get a feel as a time, I mean, it's a costume. Yeah, yeah.

During the afternoon, and you're just walking through sketches costume. Yeah, yeah, during the afternoon, and you're just walking through sketches and it's getting real for the first time. That was what the most I was so nervous then because it's you still don't have an audience. And you're just like, you know, you're like, you're kind of in it, we're changing the blocking a little bit. I that sketch was probably going to get cut, to be honest, because leading up to it, when you're doing the script, table reads and all that stuff, I'm just reading

this stuff, I'm not all into it. I feel dumb, I'm not used to doing this. I want an audience to perform for. So I'm kind of just doing, you know, doing it. And I mean, the George Watch sketch was on. It was last. It was the last sketch we did for Dressels. It was the last one. And we just figured it out. But then once we did it live, I like got way into more my I was kind of rushed leading up to it with no audience, because there's no, you know, there's nothing to really. I'm so used to cover crew laughs., because there's nothing to really, I'm so used to the couple crew laughs. Yeah, there's a couple crew laughs,

and I'm used to doing stand-ups. I'm used to like, yeah, my timing is based off the laughs. And so when you know, when you're just in there with each other, I don't fake it. Great. And so everyone feels that way. I mean, it did you get lose confidence. And then, but what happened in the practice show, the dress show, like you, what that compared to the air show, the air show was still you felt like was the peak of how you

performed it? Yeah, I would say they were both basically, basically same. During the before the dress rehearsal with the audience before the audience got there I was very quick on everything my timing was very fast You know, he gets was like tell me helping me with that like I was just very like kind of just I would say it I wouldn't be so much into it and then during dress dress rehearsal, it's last. We assume, I mean, I found this afterward, but I think they assume it's gonna get cut. And then I just did, I just set in my rhythm and I was able to pace and I would kinda let the laugh calm down,

then I would deliver the line. And that just helped it so much. The chef show was even better too, because of the live audience. Yeah, it's a lot of time. I thought they did a good job writing for your style. It's so to speak. But you landed it. It's so hard, especially in the Washing one, where you're timing, you're pausing. There was a charisma to it. It was an interesting, because when I first started watching it, I had no idea how hard it was going to kill.

It just popped. You had a good crowd too was going to kill, you know, but it just like popped. You had a good crowd too, not to say you weren't good, but sometimes you get crowds are and you see people that are doing great stuff and you're like, you know what I mean, you go, you just do not want to be in one of those nights where there is not any data. You know what I'm talking about. Oh, sometimes you just get a dead audience. I think Halloween shows tend to be slightly more festive. And I think having Christopher Walken show up in the beginning, that would have been that.

And then your monologue, you know, sometimes it's not so good, you know, and you're skilled. So then the audience is really happy. They got to see Walken, they're relaxed with you. They're happy to see you. And then there you go. Let me jump in Dana. Nate, I have to say, when I watch a standup over the years, you have, which is kind of unique to not every comic,

your crowd is very good and disciplined. They definitely, when I watch even mostly, you know, TikTok, and I see that stuff on Instagram, these, it's like one bit at a mostly, you know, TikTok, and I see that stuff on Instagram, these, it's like one bit at a time, you know, but they laugh at all the setups. They're quiet. They listen to everything. They know there's some gold on the way, and then they, you sort of, the payoffs are like almost one or two, and then you get out. But I, I was jealous sometimes, because if I take a pause, sometimes the road they start yelling Joe dirt shit They start you know they get rowdy especially the bigger crowds and you have bigger crowds and

And you know the thousands of people it's hard to keep them all shut up and They're really into it. I think that's great that you have that crowd and seem like that was on SNL They they would let you pause they'll let you do your style. They'll hang on it, and then they appreciate the throwaway jokes on the way. Which is great. I mean, it's I think, uh, you know, I don't really ever talk to the crowd. I don't know crowd work and so doing that stuff like I never have done it. And I don't have videos of me doing it that helps because then no one, you know, I don't, it doesn't look like that. Oh, you don't push, yeah, people don't go, oh, this guy likes, that's what's ruining the stand up is all these people posting stuff with proud work. And then they go, oh, so they like it when you get involved. Like, no, they just don't want to show their real act on TikTok.

So they're just making up bullshit just to get you in the club to see their real act. But people think, oh, they like it when I interject at the punchline. They think that's the show. And so then, you know, when they see that stuff, it's, it's not like you train your, it's just, they're you, they're, they're seeing what they see and they go, that's what this guy does, and he doesn't act or not an act. So they were able to, I mean, I was like, there was, they had a couple of plows breaks, I think, during the where I was trying to like, one towards the end, the Pearl Harbor joke,

and I knew it would get a laugh. Where I say every history movie I watch, I watch on the edge of my seat, what is going to happen now? Sometimes that could get into plows, but I have like the last line. So I was like that when I was trying to stay on top of a little bit just to I didn't want to,

you know, do a whole applause. It's like they kind of clapped and I kind of just like was like kind of like, all right, just hold on one second. Like just let me get this last thing out. Because it was like I wanted to end on that last. You know, sometimes when you can have, you can almost have two good jokes at the end. Yeah. And you're like, all right, if I, if the first one does great, I don't really care if I do this. Just fail. Yeah, just fail. But this one I knew, I was like, well, I want to do it. So I was trying to

kind of stay on them. So I didn't go to a completely flat. I didn't want to go all the way flat again to go back up. What about, I thought you get out of the reading joke because it was so funny. I'm like, that was such a great run. I could have. I mean, I thought, you know, I knew I had a couple that I could. It's that pro heart. I don't know. I was like, the pro heart joke was just, I knew, I just know that I've been doing that for

a while. So it's like, it's just a very easy, like, I know it's going to work and it's like short and it's like I can just say it and then boom. Yeah, you followed a good joke with a good joke, which is hard because I thought, shit, how do you follow that reading joke and then you did another one. So that was a long, long one too. Obviously, it's going to be longer because it's you how long do you think it went like nine nine twenty five I think they told me because I kept asking I was I was 10 Oh five at dress rehearsal and then I changed some stuff up and I added I Added one the hotel shower thing. Yeah, I did not do in dress rehearsal and I added it and I took out Well, I think it just set up the 1900 thing a little bit better.

And I mean, I've been doing all this stuff on the road. I mean, the hardest part was the beginning of the week having to change, you know, I haven't done a short set like that in a long time. And so you know, when you're used to doing an hour, it's like your rhythm is longer and all this stuff. So then I had to kind of come back and, I did a bunch of spots to get back into that New York

short set rhythm. I fucking tight 10 and it's the most valuable 10 you got to do. You know, when I did it Dana Nate, you can listen to this too, but when I did it the I had when I posted to the first time Sandler Was in my opening monologue just because it was like oh, he's there. Let's just use him because it's Bunny and he was gonna be asking questions, you know question my logs are usually pretty easy They do it with host that they have no skills. I Guess that's why I did it but but I could have a stand-up one But I it was me and Sandler going out and he's playing this nerdy guy kept asking questions to trip me up

Oh, yeah, it's one more question real quick and so The day of the show. I'm obviously nervous and they said, oh, Adam, he had to fly back because he's doing water boy open this week and it crushed, he's got to go back and do something back in LA and I'm like, oh, fuck, what's my monologue? And I go, and Lauren goes, just do stand up. And I'm like, well, yeah, I don't even do stand up

that much. And I'm like, well, yeah, I don't even do stand up that much. And I can't practice at all. So I did, you know, I think two long bits together, right? They're kind of long ones. But that was it. When Martin Lawrence, and it worked out, but it was scary to never practice. That was one point.

And then I don't know if Dana was there for Martin Lawrence, but he didn't want to. I was asking your time because I think in rehearsal was five and on air it was 12. And you know, shit's getting thrown out there like, you know, you're walking the hole in here. Gap girls is cut. You're like, we're out from a monologue. Because usually, usually in the middle of the show, you're getting like 20 minutes to one and you're like, fuck, if this audience is this good, it's going to spread. And then we're not going to have time for a final sketch in the 86, but he went so long

we were all like, oh my God, I think it was Mark Lawrence, right? And but that's funny, you had a great monologue, I'm going to interrupt that. Great monologue, quick change, that hallmark movie about killers. Was that earlier in the show, later in the show, because it was pretty early for a pre-tap. Yeah, it was, they moved it. Yeah, so when I did, because that thing, we were like nine minutes over, he was saying,

so like it's crazy, like Lauren, you go up and like you're in there in the meetings like on the side of the show, and the whole time I'm there I'm like I want to like hey, I've not done teeth like if they look like you're like I You're scared to say something you don't realize like you actually can't say the Washington sketch I think I said I liked it and in more new I liked it because it was it basically was all me And I was like I knew like I'll be able to get into this.

But it was, you don't realize like how much you say you kind of do, you know, I mean, obviously, it's their decision, but some of you just sitting there and they go, and I was like, I'll cut some of my monologue. And, but he didn't want to, he was like, no, no, no, we, you know, because he knew I was being introduced to so many people that it's like, not only like, no, no, no, we, you know, cause he knew I was being introduced to so many people that it's like, tuning in for that too.

Yeah. Yeah. And so I was at 10, I was at 10 minutes there. And then I got it down to nine. It was nine, 25 when we taped, which may be happy. Cause I was afraid, I didn't want to like, just blow, like do that blow up the whole show. I get off and someone's like, you did 16 minutes. And then five sketches there's no light right you don't get a light oh there's nothing it's it's it's just

what does your cue card look like when you're doing your monologue I just have bullet points no you can't bullet points I just had like my like a set list and I just wrote the set list and just because it's like I'm doing like, you know, these jokes are so many different places in my act. Tell your gender. It's not normal. It's not yeah, it's not a normal way. So I had on, I just wrote out, but we changed, we had the thing listed and then I rewrote a set list for the taping show. I was going to lose the Aferin joke joke but then Lauren was like, no, I like the Aferin joke. And then he goes, I think you should do it.

You go, I'm going to lose and then he goes, yeah. I'll do it. Yeah, I'll do it. I see the Cure Card guy, Wally, it's like drenched in sweat. He's got this 19-minute monologue. He did walling at the whole up two cards. Because it was 16 lines. And I just didn't want to get lost up there. Was there anything more terrifying in stand-up than that stand-up? Or was it like one of your big gigs at Bridge Stone or something? Was that more casual? No, no, this one was the most because, I mean,

I've done it now for 20 years, so you're at least doing something you know the most. But it's not, I mean, not to say that just did some arena. I mean, I just came off of, I went from Oklahoma City with a Thunder, and I was in that arena Sunday to Saturday night. So like, it's, I mean, when you're in those big arenas, you're just murdering, and it's just,

it's just like, you're just in this big kind of like, flowing and all this. So then when you go switch it to this, you're like, dude, do you do my bombing? Like, you can't, sometimes, you know, when I went to, when I, yeah, I felt it. You got to talk to, you got to look at the hand. No one's going to tell you, I'm your friend. I'm telling you. It's about 150 days. Is it 200 people in there? Yeah, 200 people. It's pretty microscopic when you walk in. Yeah, it does. It feels like a big room. It would be a room that you'd be like completely fine with except that it's, you know, what's, I mean, you can see yourself on the monitor

and I'm just seeing. Well, I'm seeing Saturday night, like the most famous backdrop ever behind me. And I'm standing there and you're kind of like, you're starting to lose your place. Yeah, you're like, I mean, what is this dude? Like you don't want the band not to laugh at you. The band was laughing. Yeah, it's good How did you like there fixing your hair whatever and then you just come out When that music plays And then your walk into your spot That's the and then you got your first laugh because that is sort of it's just nerve-wracking And I've been on the show for seven years, but hosting it and them, okay, and you get launched,

it's just weird. Yeah, you go, they tell you to hit the mark, he's like, make sure you hit the mark. They keep saying that. And you're like, you know, usually it's like, here's the mark, it's like fine. And they're like, make sure you hit this mark. And then, and then it goes, thank you,

you just say, thank you very much when the, when the guy does like, it does like that on the, behind the camera. And then you go, all right. And then I, then they hand me the microphone and then I start my set. And then, you know, you're thinking about too when I get done. You know, when I get done, I got to be like, all right, I got to throw a shut, you know, I've never done like a, we're be right back. Stay tuned, you know. You used to taking a hundred bows. Did you, did you carry a mic,

or was that a discussion? They handed it to me. I mean, but did you say I could do without a mic, you'd rather use it? No, no, I said I wanna mic. And then for people who are listening, right? As soon as you finish the monologue, you can't celebrate the monologue where the show's launch.

You have a team of maybe two or three people, someone dressing, makeup, hair. They're gonna grab you and take you along. You know, they become kind of your confidence throughout the week. They're like on your team, they're giving you a quick feedback. That was great, but now let's go here. Yeah, I mean, it's like, yeah, Donna, like, and Jerry,

and like, that was, that was the craziest thing because you just, you get off and they grab you, and you're just running to this, like, go change. Yeah, and almost like if you got done with a set on stage and then someone just threw you in a car alone and your drove away. And you're like, was it good? Yeah, I don't know. You just had no idea. You got kidnapped and put in a gunny sack and thrown in a trunk like, you have no time to analyze. Was your suit made of, well, you were in a,

oh, I'm sorry, we were in a second coat. Was it made anything velcro there? Or is it my monologue? My monologue was, my monologue was not velcro, but a lot of the other nice stuff is Velcro. And so, yeah, but I mean, I got off and you go there and we did the chef show first. And so, it's, we changed into that. Was the hallmark thing first, it was a first one. No, I think it was after a show show.

Yeah, because we had to get into Washington. And that was, so it's... That's why they put hallmark there, probably. Yeah, that more's because we had to get into Washington and that was So why they put hallmark there probably yeah that more time to go. Yeah, that does by time to get you in a wig or whatever So in the chef show your first your first sketch you're feeling like 100% better Probably what you got on there. I mean the dress rehearsal is so nice because once you do that you're like, okay And then you're you know, and then I mean, it's very realistic. And the kind of few sketches that you were in,

we don't know those yet, but so it's a little truncated as well. Yes, yeah. And then you do it. And I felt good with Washington when I didn't realize how it goes, but when everybody's like, everybody was like, man, you're watching they got moved up a lot. So I don't understand it at the moment,

but it's like, oh, so that did really good. They want a front low of the better stuff. Yes. So you feel like, all right, I have some confidence now. I've done it. I've said these lines. I'm kind of getting the Q-Cart thing a little bit where you're like, all right, you know,

because you're not supposed to, I'm not trying to just look like I'm like, staring at it, like reading. Like walking. Yeah, I guess. Walking always does that, but it works for him. But I think it's legitimately hilarious. Yes, the Washington was pretty clever

because I saw you, some of the stage in you could see I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic.

I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic.

I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more homophobic. I think it was a bit more switching cards, where I would be like a middle-headed, but what time? Yeah, the way the timing worked out with links. You know, I could read half this here, and then I'd be good if I go there. By the way, I don't know what camera is on.

I'm not even, I have either, we've only taken... That's fine, you. That's what you just hope you go fucking yeah someone film me Yeah, yeah, cuz I I didn't like he begins was like just look out like cuz you cuz yeah I cuz it's watching it kind of talking outwardly. Yeah, so like if I ever got lost I would just kind of go out You know, it's funny Nate. I'd see you and I've done this you go from the left cute card to the right But if you do it during a speech or a line, it's like jumping the snake river to go over there

and try to remember your line and then land and find the rest of your speech. It's the ballsy as maneuver, but sometimes you do it just to look real. Like you're talking instead of just drill this one, drill that one and I'm like, all right. But that was a good, yeah, I like that bit because they're sort of props for you. They have a few lines, but you're basically

getting the laughs. They stayed pretty wide. I don't think they had an ISO on you, like, you know, neck up or anything. Yeah, so it stayed fairly wide. Yeah, yeah, that was what it worked out. I know, I think one of my timing go, when the timing on one of them worked out.

And it worked out kind of just because I couldn't find the car. Like you get kind of, you're like, yeah, I mean, when you're switching the middle and you go over, it is, it's such a big jump that you're like, you get over there and you're like, man, you're like, where and are you black? Because I was always black, Dana. Yeah, I'm black. But you know, it's fun. Yeah, I'm black. But you know what's fun? Yeah.

I'm colorblind, so the black and green. So, oh, no, really. And a black and green one with one of them with Heidi that ended up getting cut. I kept reading her line during the green period. And they were like, and no one really, you know, it's not like anybody's really telling me something. Like, they're kind of nice to the host. You asshole, yeah. And I mean, and no one really, you know, it's not like anybody's really telling me something like they're kind of nice to the host.

You asshole. Yeah. And I mean, I read it, I mean five times in a row. And they're like, I was like, oh, it looks, and they just had to write Heidi next to it. Cuz I was like, I, I got that. For some reason, that black and green looked the same to me. Yeah. Funny. green looked the same to me. Oh, yeah. Funny. Well, keep going. All the other favorite sketches that you liked.

I thought, so we had one that got cut at the beginning that was, I like the, the chef show was fun, because I like got to just play. Like that was like just me being me, which was nice. And that was an easy one for me to look, because the cards right over punky. So it was like easy for me to laugh. Then they do some business, come back, you get a laugh.

That's the best way to do it. Well written. Yeah, airplane was like that too. Yeah. In the airplane, there's one part where in Heidi, she's the mom and she goes, well, I got a really important job. And then I say, what do you do?

And she said, I'm a mother. And so we clap and then we say, all right, what about real stuff? And but that one, I forgot my, I forgot to say, what do you do? And so they're all, so there's a pause there, because they're all waiting on me to go, what do you do? And I see Wally, it's so crazy to be on live on TV. Shaking the card. No one, yeah, no crazy to be on live on TV. Shaking a card. No one sees it.

You're right. I mean, millions of people are watching it. Just Wally's like, hey, he's like, he's been on the lifting off. Yeah. He's just pulling off and I'm like, I'm like, yeah, I go. So what do you do? And it's really delayed.

It's like a very delayed, what do you do? Because I just was gone. You know, I was like, but somehow it worked. It got laughs. I mean, it did. It was, uh, yeah, that that one worked really good and, uh, she's great. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, this cast is really good. Like you see, Kenan is, I'm believe, like, I mean, it's very comforting to be in there when Kenan's in there because you just like in her Heidi or Chloe, like, I mean, all of them are so great and some are younger, but the, you know, ones that have been there for a while,

Mikey, they just, it's like they're just very, very good. It takes a long time. If you ever, maybe this is crazy to say, if they invited you to be part of the cast, which you do Saturday Night Live. You know, I would, it's kind of silly. You're too big to be part of the cast? Would you do Saturday Night Live? You know, I would, it's kind of silly. You're too big to be part of the cast. Yeah, but would you have liked to have done it?

I mean, do you have a little taste for it now? Would you like to go back and host? I, oh yeah, I definitely would love to go back. I love the whole week. And then, you know, another one that Steve Higgins told me that I liked, he goes, he said, it's like what you thought show business would be when you get into show business. And that, I thought that was a very good way to describe it. It's like when you get into show

business, you think it's going to be like just running around and changing and all this kind of stuff. And you know, most of show business not that. And so I, it made me want to do, you know, I think about sitcoms and you're like, man, I'd like to do a multi-cam. You're just that live audience is so fun. And that's what we do. I, yeah, I loved it. I wish I would have thought I could have done, not that I would have ever got it. But I don't know if, I don't, I never even looked at that snow as an option of being an auditioning because it's like I was just doing standup and just doing this. Yeah, you barely do standup. So it's yeah, but it's also you're saying new stuff like how do you handle the redundancy of standup, you know, because all that stuff where you were probably peaking on air with it, you know, and then you just drop it. You're not going to George Washington's dream again. So it's all that freshness to it that's really cool. And stand up is some nights,

you have to kind of pull up your socks and gonna go, I gotta get excited. I gotta get excited. I'm getting a little past my act. Do you ever feel that sometimes? It's like time to record it before I go past it and it's flat for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, well, you can have a joke. Yeah, the jokes, some jokes can be really good and they start working because you just set them 100 times and you just got to be excited. And sometimes you got to just move the stuff around and you're set. I always tend to, you can move stuff up front that you are excited about or you can move some stuff at the end. So you almost lead yourself a little carrot to be like, why I'm excited about this chunk? So I'm gonna put it towards the back.

So I'm at least, it keeps my excitement through the set. One joke can keep you excited, though. If you have a new joke that night, you're like, I'll put it here. Chris Rock says, here's his advice. I don't even know if it's good. Of course, grab your van to shoulder.

Spade, because I told him I was bored in my act. Especially if you do a bunch of dates and row, I saw your schedule. I know you're doing 600 this year. So I go, I go rock, I go rock sometimes by the third night. I'm like, fuck, and he goes, open with your closer. I mean, it makes sense, but it's like open with my closing. And if you can follow that, then you got a good act. I'm like, well, I don't wanna test it.

What if I follow them? Dude, I try to open in Oklahoma City with a new joke. Open, close. No, not open. I'll open with new jokes. I like opening with new jokes, because it's the only life fun. And then you go right here.

They're going crazy, right? They're going crazy, right? Yeah, they're going crazy. They have a free pass for a big. They have a free pass. So big. They have a free pass. So it's opening when new jokes is always great. I mean, I try to close in this weekend, or this past weekend after the fourth center lap

with a new joke. I was like, I think I can do it. It was a new joke and it would be a callback. So I moved my closing joke up to within the first five minutes and then I was going to call back with this whole new joke and it would be a callback. So I moved my closing joke up to within the first five minutes and then I was gonna call back with this whole new joke. And in my head, the air gets I have that I go, I mean, I was like, if I do this, I go, I mean, I'm maybe the best time of the day.

I go for sure. I'm the guy, I'm the, I'm the, I'm the, I'm the, you're not better than me. And then I do it and it does not go good. It goes like you would think. And I had an old joke that I could do, you know, you're just kind of sitting on a little... Crutch.

To get off on. To get off on. So I was like, you get some emergency. Yeah, and I, uh, Mayday, mayday. And I told the comics, I go, I think I'm gonna be able to get off on this new joke, which is gonna be crazy.

I'm gonna close on the brand new joke. Get ready, everybody. Yeah, so be ready. And if anything, I go, if it goes bad, then I'll just tell this old story. And I mean, I did it two nights and they both, I told the old story on both nights. And then, and then you try it again. Well, you try it again. I just told the story on Seth Myers.

I just moved it through the ocean. You threw it away. Yeah, I'll put it on Seth Meyers. I go, what was I thinking? Like closing, talk show bits have less pressure than stand up bits. Like, it's a conversation of sense. It's a conversation and there's less pressure.

It's like if it's amusing at all, they're like, oh, fuck, you just think of that. And you put it in your act and move it over and it fucking dies a miserable death. Dana, I went out into this corporate last week in Atlanta. It was like 80 people, you know, the stage is one in-chai. And they're like, hey, here's fuck face. And up here a surprise, half the people excited, the other half are like, I heard it was

Stevie Nicks. And then somebody was like, is that Stevie Nicks? So I was off before I went on and they go, you want to meet the guy and he goes, yeah. And he, I go, and he goes, hey, you know, I'm whatever. And I go, hey, I don't even know what he does. I go, yeah, and he's got like a trophy wife with him. And I'm like, I wanted to say, oh, you got a trophy wife.

Fourth place, but anyway, it's still a trophy. But I, but she was so nice and she's pretty. So I go, I can't say that, but he gives me a little nugget. We talk for two seconds, take a picture, and then he goes, sorry, it's so hot in their sweating. We're gonna have food right after it. So those two bits of information, A, they've had, they've drank it all day

and they haven't had their food yet. So A, they want you to get off. B, they're too drunk. So I go up and then I go, Hey, everybody, I go, I'm here because this rich guy hired us and hired me and he seems like a good guy. I don't know what business you are. I know it's not air conditioning. Wow. Jenny's like, are you a magician? They couldn't believe I put that together because they couldn't believe he thought of that.

Yeah, because they're like, wait, it's so hot in here. And then they, and I'm like, if you just get one new thing like that, and then I said one other new thing to him, like just about the night, Dane it is more work on that. I do two little nugs, and then I go right into my act. Dogs are funny and they're immediately zonked out. Shhh. And then I go, hey, look at this guy walking to the bar,

they wake up again. Something new, something right now he's thinking of. And then I go back to, look at this guy walking to the bar. They wake up again. Something new, something right now he's thinking of. And then I go back to my act and they go back to sleep. Oh, you know what I mean though? If you say anything about the tent, about this guy's job, about they're like, hey, this, you know, the CEO has three balls and beats his wife, say something.

Work it in, you know, put it, yeah. Well, they want you to, I always say I'm just doing my act. And if it's, I'll find out the company, and if like, there's, you know, I can use this thing, like, I don't know what y'all do. And that's enough to, you know, if you have something that comes to your mind, and it's like, one thing.

That's it. But that's like, yeah, you, a year old joke about when the, in your HBO special, when the band comes out and goes, what's up Arizona? You're like, oh, he knows us. Oh, yeah, the Eagles. Yeah.

On a dark Arizona highway, what's I, oh my god. Yeah. Cool Scottsdale wind in my hair. Holy shit. My red lives in Scottsdale. They're screaming. They go, warm smell of sun devil stadium. I'm like, all right, just sing the fucking song. Yeah. The cheapest one is what's the town everyone shits on? Oh, yeah.

You're wise. Are you here for work? Naperville? In Dallas, you go, hey, a lot of hot girls here from Dallas and a couple of rough ones from Mesquite and was like, what the fuck? How does he do it? How does he do it? I had a magician. Mosque does have a ratty chick. It was two of the old Dallas and Pro. Yeah, starting out. I used to do it. What did I do? No, I can't do that.

I had an opener, but it's not, it doesn't work in 2023. So Nate, you're going to do, you go, so it's, you go out, you do it. The place is almost can't get bigger because you don't almost want him to be bigger. It's just, it's almost overwhelming as is, right? You can add a name. Like when you're doing these arenas and shit stadiums, is the next up? What for is when I was in Nashville? Have you been offered a stadium?

I have not 60,000 kind of leveling off Yeah, we've definitely peaked Plum at well actually bridge stone is in Nashville is that correct? Yeah, so I was when I was there and they go oh Nate was Usually I try to see Nate when I'm in Nashville right? We try to hang out and yeah, they go oh Nate just played there and they go, oh Nate was, you just had to try to see Nate when I'm in Nashville, right? We try to hang out and they go, oh Nate, just played here and I go, at this fucking place, is this the new comedy club?

And they're like, no, this is where the fucking basketball team plays when I was like, goddamn. So that's great. That was your biggest night, right? 19,000, that was their biggest night. Yeah, yeah, it's the most ever. Yeah. Jesus Christ.

That's nice. It was a long time. You know what, Nate? We should open a comedy club because in Nashville, is there only just Zaneys or is there more? No, just Zaneys. I mean, there's other rooms and stuff, but. It's crazy.

It's huge place. I mean, Austin has a couple more. And when you get these big comedy towns, most, I think it's hard for comics, like a lot of comics probably moved to Nashville. I think Theo's there, some others. But New York and LA, when I leave, I'm like, I can't go on enough. You know, like if I am not in LA, I can do the comedy store in the improv a couple of times we can fight out of practice.

And how do you guys all go on at Zane's? They do Monday is new material night usually and then Tuesday too. And then so, you know, there's enough comics and then there's rooms everywhere. So the younger comics are doing going up every night at a room and a bar. Okay.

And then Zane's is kind of where we can pop in and- It's a real comedy club. Yeah, it's a real comedy. Zane's is amazing. Yeah, Zane is this kind of where we can pop in and it's a real comedy club. Yeah, it's a real comedy. Zane is amazing. Yeah, Zane is just great. But the other ones are like, we have comedy night in bumper pool and then they can do like, you know, a queer comedy night. Yeah, yeah, but I mean, Zane is a new material night.

I mean, those nights selling out, like, I mean, it'd be 300 people in there on a Monday. Oh, I'm sure it's pretty much the only gaming town that plays close off. Do people do new material? 300 people in there on a Monday. Oh, I'm sure it's too much. You only game in town. That place. To people do new material, because we used to have that back in San Francisco in the day new material night. And the guy had a horn who knew everybody's act. So if he'd heard it before he'd beat the horn,

to people really honored that, or they kind of, hey, that's not new. What's he doing? Wait, would you say it broke the people? I'll say it. I'll say it. If you do it in the whole show.

No, they think you're not, you're doing old material to kill. Oh, wow. You're not doing new material. Yeah. And they, they got people horn and then you have. It's so funny. It was true. You see your ears would be ringing during my act.

We can't even hear the jokes. I swear to God, last time I went, you know, I did a special, I only done, I've only done, I'm not that many, after my HBO one, and years and years ago, I never even thought of doing another one. I was just doing shows and mostly TV stuff, so it wasn't number one priority, but there's a whole world now. It's like, do a special, do a tour, special, tour with a special, and then, but when I did this one, and like Alex, we have the same road manager, special, tour with a special. But when I did this one, and Alex, we have the same road manager, manager. And he's like, so you got all new stuff?

I just taped my special two days ago. He's like, when you got a road to him, I'm like, the whole goddamn hour, it's so hard to polish up an hour. And so I really had to get cracking and bust my hump. And it's turning into another hour. But of course, they're like, do another special. I'm like, I swear to God I get too attached to it. I want to go, this was a lot of work.

And I like mixing it up. Scientists used to say, or when he was on here, he said, these people have five specials. You really only have an hour, 15 of good material. He said the rest of it's not you'll ever write in your whole life. So it cracks and it gets a few laughs that goes away, but the hardcore shit, he's a big proponent of do the same stuff and just rotate around. Yeah, that's a different, you know, that's the thing that I always bring up with you and Norm, we're talking about once where Norm asked you if you came up, it's like it can be both of y'all. If y'all came up today, how the

climate is with stand up now, because stand up is becoming like music, where you can just you do a special and album and then you go and you do tours and that's all you really got to do. You think y'all would have y' had to go to new TV. Signed field had to go have a TV show. Y'all had to go to Saturday Lops. There wasn't an opportunity for y'all to do this. This is new. This is new. When you make a better living

than most people in Sag and After. So if this is working and this is a new way to do this, and everyone just by old school habits says, well, when are you going to do a sitcom or when are you a movie? You don't have to buy any stretch of the imagination, especially for money. It's only if you said, I have more choices now. That's what happened to me. I left that snout, got on the show, and then they're like, do you want to do this?

Do you want to do a movie? And it was a choice. You were allowed to do it. But if you could just be a stand up now and be a movie, and it was Troy, you were allowed to do it. But if you could, you could just be a stand up now and be a great one and kill. And then you turn into a household name, especially with the younger people because of TikTok and IG. We don't get the movies though, like it's that kind of, it has an attitude. It's fun having a movie out. Yeah, it hasn't clicked over into, you know, if you, you

hope that, you know, my one day, the, the, the movies and the over into, you know, if you you hope that You know may one day the the the the movies and the TV show that these people realize like how big of an audience you have and like what you can bring to Tuesday, you know like Bert did his movie the machine. Yeah, it's number one on that flicks and It's it's because it's like I mean he's got a giant audience and he's doing yeah everywhere in the country He's doing thousands and in the country is doing Thousands and thousands it is fun to mix it up I mean Theo and I wrote that movie and we're figuring out a time to do it He would have to I would have to stop touring too, but

He tours more than I do and more days in a row And he would lose a chunk of money because we're doing a small or movie that's just the way the world, you know you It's fun to do movies. it's really fun when they come out and then you go and do this. But you can't really compete with non-stop touring, just the money just flies in. So you have to make a conscious decision, say, this matters more right now.

And I'll always be able to do that. But it's hard to just put the breaks when it's just too good, you know? Yeah, you don't want it. Why it's like and me stand up is fun and I love it and It's you know, it's well, it's like the yeah, they can see the strike and all that stuff and You know, it's like you just don't have that you just got to it's that that's what I liked about the Saturday love thing was It's the immediate, you know, when I did that set, even though in the moment, I don't know how it did outside of the room, but you're like, it's already out, it's done. Yeah, not good if you go. But

it's already, it's done, it's out, and it's like fun to be like, oh, anything immediate is fun. As an L, I did miss that. Like, you do it, and then we go film a movie, and it takes forever to film and doesn't come out for a year. And you're like, oh, this movie, it's pretty funny. And by the time it comes out, you're like, oh, fuck, that was a year ago. And that's not as immediate. You're in a theater trying to get that,

oh, is it working kind of thing? You get to see people laugh. But when you're shooting it it no one's allowed to laugh I shot something today for something and and the crew was told not to laugh and I'm like, is this not working? Oh, they're not allowed I'm like, it's just so weird You want that and you get it every night and you're a really good comedian and I love going on the road I love doing a theater. I'm a tool right now and when when it works, you do get a buzz for a while afterwards. It's just fun if you're good. You I feel like it just did something. Yeah, that's hard to do.

Yeah. SNL is just based on procrastination and ADD I think. And both that I have a good measure of. So I didn't realize till I left like what a perfect thing for me because I get bored very easily. Yeah, movies are tough that way. The only about stand up long term is the travel. Starts to get a little, you know, that's the only thing. SNL, when you're on SNL as a cast member, you're stationary. Yeah, yeah, that could, that could be something

that I look forward to. If I was able to shoot something here in Nashville where you're, I can be home and then I I don't go on the road that would that would be nice But yeah, the tour the drive and driving around and traveling all that and we have a tour bus now So that stuff helps that your stuff is kind of on a bus and you're you know, you're not In and out of hotels and so you finish the gig and jump on the bus like a band Yeah, drop all night.

Yeah. Or if it's across country, you can rent the space shuttle because you have so much money and you're money gone. Yeah. Get the Concord. Yeah. I took the Concord to Wendy's one day. That's how rich I was.

No, I took it to Europe. Remember the Concord? I took it to London to promote Wayne's world. I took it to London to fucking do a, tell me boy and we, you could walk up and talk to the pilots. There was no cockpit door. They were just three pilots.

Well, it was like coach. It was small. Yeah, and then, oh, we just, we just keep it all in things up here, you know, and they're just three breaks talking. We only crashed some of the time. That's why they had to get rid of it. They crashed and they were like, I'm like, one crash who cares?

Well, they actually can make it. They continued after that debris hit the engine. I don't like to fly Nate. I, you know, I always say to someone, if you're getting a private jet, make sure it's a really good one. Never be on a budget if you're getting a private jet, make sure it's a really good one, never be on a budget when you're vertical. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you can't afford the good one,

just go, go regular, go self-wrestling. When we went to that premiere in England, where no one knew the fuck we were, we in farly thought we were famous. No reason we thought we were, we just thought we were, because we had a movie coming out. It wasn't how yet We thought we were the Beatles or two of them So we go over and I and he goes are you on the call court? You think you're so great I go are you flying with me goes? I'm going to Ireland because I'm Irish and I'm gonna go daily with my mom and get a show lately

This fucking idiot bought a show lately and then he kept bringing it everywhere. It's lucky I'm Irish I go kind ofi and then he kept bringing it everywhere. It's lucky. I'm Irish. I was kind of enough and then he forgot it and he made someone fly back and get it because he lost it. And anyway, that's so stupid. I even know what a shalei is. I was gonna say name. I was waiting. I was waiting. It's a stick, right? I don't know. I'm not. I'm not. I tell the whole story. No one even though it's a walking stick. I think it was just a stick. I think Chris found a stick in the deck

that an iron cost $700. But that's a walking stick. They want a shirt lately. But yeah, I bet CBS or somebody would, yeah, they'd set up a studio for you in Nashville if they already probably have studios there. And you could try a half hour show. You could do that.

You're good on camera. You're good with an audience. I mean, I could see you doing a half hour show and crushing it. Well, I mean, that's like, you know, that's what you get with that San Alab. You get that like man, multi-camp. Like that stuff still, I think it still works and people still want that.

And they're just not doing it and they're not trying it. And you know, even like movies, I mean, that's why saying those movies do so well and that's why, you know, Wayne's world and time boy, like people are still watching this because they're just super fun movies and like that kind of stuff interests me to kind of do that kind of thing that. A movie or a television show or both? What would be your dream? Maybe both. No, both, I don't Maybe both. No, I don't know. I mean, I don't know for sure, but it's, you know, both. I mean, I've always wanted to do like a

sign fell type show or something there. But, you know, and then also, like I mean, I love Sandler's model of making these movies and, you know, as all you guys did them and, you know, I mean, like the Wayne's world, like all that, I mean, look at SNL, like how much stuff, like that's my age that kind of came up with that. I feel like that's not around as much as it was.

A good, big, dumb, funny comedy. I think World Missy was maybe one of the last ones that David was in. Oh yeah, well Missy. Just a really big silly fun. And it did so great. Yeah, it was in it. Crushed.

Like the high-end say crushes. And then it's like they, I just don't feel, you know, like it's like there's not enough of them. And they're not at the theaters where people just want to go have fun and laugh. That's the luckiness of you having a lot of attention right now and being good is that you can maybe get a movie.

It's very hard if people think it's so easy, but to get a movie made, to get on a sitcom, and then it's like a piece of a puzzle that's just fun to have because when I see people that stop me, it's so many different things they could like, which that's part of the fun. You know, oh, I still don't miss you. Oh, the Emper's new groove, the cartoon one. So that's fun to have, just different things. And then you feel like different muscle movies are the hardest to do. I don't know if it's day and degrees, but the hardest, but really fun when they come out. And they kind of live. That's what I love the most. I mean, but to make them is hard, but I think if you can conquer stand up mountain, which Nate has I mean, but to make them as hard, but I think if you can conquer stand-up mountain,

which Nate has, I think you can make a feature film or it's a lot of the application, the same brain set that you figured out, how to write back to back an hour of stocking. That's like a lot of fun. Likeable, enjoyable, funny, full of surprises. So yeah, I would encourage you to do it if you feel like it.

I mean, I think the you to do it if you feel like it. I mean, I think the idea of travel long run, it's nice to take breaks like Chris Rock does. He toured like crazy. And then he's doing a movie directing a film. He came down. He was there. He was there. Him and Mulaney came Saturday. All they came down. It was very nice. Yeah. And almost more scary that they're there. Yeah. Well, they came before. Yeah. I was like, did they come show me at? No, they came before.

And then I was like, are y'all staying for the show? And they're like, yeah. And I thought like they were just like, all right, man. Like, you know, like a buddy stopped in and had a good show. Yeah. Before you do a stand up. Yeah. And I know it's funny.

Is that 30 rock? I've been going in be doing it with a stand up. Yeah. And I say, you know what's funny is that 30 rock, I've been going in that building for 15 years without really realizing it. I was like Conan, Fallon, Seth Meier. I mean, it's really all I've gone to was 30 rock. And then, you know, then meeting you guys so much. And like, it was like, I was like,

doing SNL, you're like rock and Malaney and like pee. You're like, you're like, all these people have been around. You're like, oh, it's all been NBC and 30 rock and. And you're so close to that build. You're so close at stage because I think Conan's used to be one down and set Jimmy's like two down. But though you're just, you go up these staircase, you go up the fire thing and then you're at a different studio

and it's huge and you're like, holy fuck, this is all here. All right there. Yeah, and that my whole TV career has been just within those floors. And I didn't set my words. Yeah, that was, that was great because you just are like, we shot the sketch where I like break stuff, we shot that promo, and then within five minutes, I'm just on Seth Miley. Like go up the shelf. Yeah, it's a great little clubhouse. Just go up a flat of stairs, go on another another show. Well, Dana, we've, Nate seems burnt out. He did SNL. We know he's being a great sport to come on. You see in the zoom. Yeah, thank you, name. You jams all of you accolades crammed together in the zoom behind them.

I think that's nice. I guess I have an Sino one. Yeah. Oh, you got a jam and that's not you were your S. I got my sweatshirt. So yeah, the only got a trace of more. When ever I run into him, he goes, how you doing a lump? So now we can do that. Yeah, we're all lumps now. Yeah. Yeah, they feel it's a, it's a true. Yeah, dude, Tracey Morgan whenever I run into him he goes how you doing a lump? So now we can do that. Yeah, they feel it's a it's a true. Yeah, dude. I mean it means it was awesome. It was crazy

It's something I honestly thought something that I I never really you know I never even like let myself even think I you know, you don't want to get fake turn down from something that you think you might get So you're just kind of like I'm not gonna get that And so you got well your part of the culture in a different way now because it's and also I read a review about the George Washington Dream and that it lets it's an iconic sketch in many ways. And the ending was very cool and different with Keenan. Just it had a High quality piece of writing and performance. That's yeah, they wrote them in love You'll think I had some dude they wrote from me and they did just a great gift Yeah, they understood your rhythm and your timing is really they really did important and they wrote to you

And so congratulations doesn't always go this good. Yeah, yeah Thank you. Thank you guys very much. All right, but I appreciate you taking time. I'll see you soon and yeah we'll talk later buddy.
