Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon show a legendary comedian Colin Quinn joins us
You have a new show which we're gonna give everybody the link in the YouTube episode. They should go grab tickets to it
You do a new hour like almost every year, which is insane and always very good
Thanks. Yeah, this one's good. And we were just talking about the yeah, how we're even that show itself
I'm gonna start shifting away. It's already starting to get on my nerve
I can always tell when it's time to move on material wise my throat starts to really get sore
Your throat rejects the material. Yes, and then you got to just film it and get it move on. Yeah, I
Feel the same way my throat. I rejects all the material I do
Because I yell it a lot of it. So that's the other problem. Yeah by the end of a tour
Like I remember in Milwaukee the good people in Milwaukee who are not punishing me
They're not buying tickets to the Pap's theater because I canceled
Night at the Improv and rescheduled it for a weeknight because I had no voice the people of Milwaukee have a long memory
being
Unreasonable because I didn't have a voice and I called my agent who's for the 400 pounds the fattest
Agent in America and he goes well
Just get a steroid shot and I go here
But if I if I project through a stock you still get polyps on my throat sure so these agents don't care
They just go just get shot up with steroids right right the show must go on. Well, what you should be doing is
Stop remember I tell you about the guy Gary Ramsey you but here's the thing you gave me this advice about yeah
You're basically like change your whole life. This is so hard. Tell people what you told me to do
to go to Gary Ramsey
No, you did but Colin it's so complicated the whole process
No, it's not it's the opposite of complicated. Can you explain it and let's see if it's not it's the what it is
It's basically it's called out. It's basically Alexander technique. What it is is instead of
Misusing your throat where you get polyps and you get horse and you can't speak a lot. You're speaking through
Your lungs are in the back. You're speaking through your stomach your diaphragm basically
So every time you're about to lose your voice you're relaxing your tongue
Relax, I could show it to you in five minutes right now, but go on
I'm living proof. I used to lose my voice all the time and ever since I went to Gary
Which is almost 20 years. I could do like three shows. I never lose my voice
I even want my voice and my voice is a raspy voice that you would lose immediately as you know
People have spent many years saying why aren't you and Tim Dillon doing father-son comedies?
I know because now I look older. That's what I mean
That's one of the reasons. No, no, I look that's brother comedy
No, it's not the father
But you were explaining me and then this guy sent me an email and he seems like a real good dude
And I think I might have spoke to him on the ferry. I think I spoke to the guy
But it's like a whole breathing technique. I mean, I'm looking for like a laze engine
It's so simple. It's simpler than how would I do it? How do I do it simpler than a shot?
You'd go see him for an hour. He'd explain to you. Oh, here's where you're gripping and you're like, oh
I didn't realize I was like every time I yell you can still yell
But every time I yell I'm yelling through my throat instead of through. This is an abbey
I'm the diet. This is a a
Theater that you can use. Yeah
So it's it's just little things like for example, baby's breathe when we watch a baby breathe
That's how we're supposed to breathe. So they
Exhale and the stomach goes out. We exhale. I mean we inhale they inhale this talk is that
Right, we inhale pull our stomach in so it's all this tightening that goes on. It's really you know, it's I'm gonna sit down
But it's an hour. It's an hour consultation. Yeah, it's not really a consultation. It's it's more like you know, it's instructional
It's yeah, it's just it's interesting. He's really an interesting and now you don't lose your voice at all
I did three shows when I was doing Broadway. I had three shows on Saturday three only me an hour and 20 minutes
I'm like 800 seats three for an hour and 20 minutes each show
I was exhausted at the end of the day. My throat was fine. Never on voice rest. You know, they go
Oh, you do shows you have to be on voice rest on the off days
I was never on voice rest my whole and I used to lose my voice from cellar sets in front of a hundred people
Wow, so this is well worth it to try to figure out this. It's the greatest
He's the greatest is the new show you have now, which is called small talk. Yeah
You used to do you always do like big themes. It was like sure political the country's divided sure
New York the history of New York all these big themes this one
Is this more like the minutiae of the way people relate to each other? No, it's a big theme
Okay, I apologize. No, no, it is small talk
It is about the minutiae of the way if you relate to each other, but it's it's a big but it's a bit
But it's big. It's a big in the sense of how the language and how everybody speaks today
Like they're being watched and pretending they're not under surveillance when they know they are at all times
By each other, right? Everybody's just everybody's worried about
Government surveillance and that's only a part of surveillance apparently, right? So nobody hates free speech more than we do
Yeah, everybody's a rat. Yes, it's a culture of rats. Yes, it is. I grew up in a town
That was a little mafia town in Long Island. We know I know that town
I love park was a mafia town is always a little mafia town and good fellas was about
Henry Hill they an island park and they all proud of us was about a guy who lived in island. They all lived in
All those mob guys moved from ozone park to island. Yeah, they all went to this little South Shore town
Yep, but everybody tie ins like a nice boat. That's what I love. It was a boat culture
They love to be they love to be around the boats. Yeah, that's the thing and the water
Yeah, they like to come out like flip-flops and nose days who would wear the brown socks with the right
You know, there's slippers and yeah, and then just stand there and just smoke a cigar with a miserable look on their face
And look out over the water. Yeah, and that was the the sign that they had made it moved from the city
And that's right and but it that was a town where it was like there was just this idea that you you you minded your business
Not in like any like we weren't like in the mob clearly, but you still just there was a value to like
Minding your be even with your opinions about other people were kind of private right gossip. We get your ass kicked
Yeah, or you just wouldn't you wouldn't open your mouth about something you didn't know about
Really because you didn't know who was listening. That's right, but now that's all over like those mob guys
They rat on everybody no one kills them and they get like reality shows well
I tell you yeah, I have a thing in my show about how they have podcasts. They all have podcasts all the mafia
It's horrible. I mean a good podcast though. Are they really you ever listen any of those?
I feel like they get old after episode three clips. Yeah, right
I mean after a while it's like we get it. Yeah, but that whole so your show is like basically looking at
This thing that's happened where everybody is kind of ready to pounce on everybody else
Yeah, well, no, it's yet. It's more. Yeah, it's a lot of it's a lot to do with small talk and and the lack of
Small talk and what it means in the big picture what small talk meant for communication which eventually leads to podcasts and
You know, it's communication that's it's about but it's about small talk. Yes, everything you do is always it's always worth it because you're one of
those comics who like you actually write and you write the whole show is
Written and rewrite all you don't have to do that now like most people now are just kind of doing crowd work
I don't know if you know that but they ask people where they're from or right
How long they've been fucking the person next to them, right? You choose to write a whole show about a topic
Why do you commit yourself to that? Doesn't that feel like a dying art?
Well, this y'all has a little bit of crowd work because I talk to people in small talk, right?
Like I give examples and I ask people I make them be in my conversation. Okay, so I'm really asking them questions
Gotcha, it's more like me making them interact with me in a small. Yeah scenario
So but um, it is a dying art, but you know what? I'm a dying man. I mean, what am I you're all done am I 25?
I mean, you know, it's fine. Yeah
Yeah, but you're good. Yeah, the heart attack with your back. You lost the heart attack. Everything's great. Yeah, everything's I wouldn't say everything's great
But I would say everything's uh, it's just good
It's good. Yeah, it's a solid but I but in the grand scheme as I was telling Frank before the show
Yeah, um, I was saying an ideal world stand up
I'd rather do like the thing we were working on like I'd rather direct
I'd rather write and direct
Then just that well certain point you hear your voice and I'm like am I still talking we were pitching a movie
And then one of the women on the pitch had like blue hair and I went this might not go
Well, you I knew from the beginning there was something weird going on there
No, here's why I knew it was a problem
Because the people on the pitch I could tell they were like hey
They dragged a couple of interns to go we want you to sit there and listen to this pitch, right?
And they're like, oh, okay, and they're just sitting there like we we don't belong here
We don't know what's going on. We're not sure. We're not the gatekeepers. No, it didn't want to get coffee
They did one of the holding a tray of coffee that they're supposed to give to the right and then they're like, okay
And then we did the pitch. I was like, it's no they just didn't seem super interested because it's subtle. It's Irish
It's a great idea. We had a great idea for a movie and they didn't they weren't into it
It was about an Irish family and when did we pitch that?
Two years ago, maybe two and a half years two years ago
It's really three years ago. There was not a huge appetite for a story about an Irish family
A
Shocking as it seems today
Netflix and we want we have a story about an Irish family and they looked at us like we said we wanted to do like
Something we wanted to do like a teen comedy about the Charlottesville March like they were like
They were like this is not fit. Yeah. Yeah, and it's crazy because you know
It was really you could you could see where it was gonna go. It was gonna be really interesting
I think maybe it's gonna be funny things are changing though
Maybe this you know, who knows in the future something might that would be great. I mean, it's still the same
You're still the same character
We're still the same and we're gonna have Tim Dillon because this is why Gary Ramsey came in handy
Yeah, Tim was gonna be the lead singer in a bar band also
I really get to hear that Tim Dillon singing. I mean would that not have been fun. It's funny already
Yeah, funny already and Netflix in their infinite wisdom said
No, yeah, but um, yeah, everybody's just you know, we were crazy to try to do it that way
But here's what let me ask you this. Yeah in in the ideal world
Since you seem to have more of a business acumen than I ever will I don't but well
Well, I did you had a real job for a minute and find it. Well, real the FBI would
rise it is a
An issue, but yeah
It's not I mean everybody's a Monday morning quarterback including the feds
What do you think they you don't think they got mortgages?
But I mean many of the companies I work for were rated good boy. They were they people did come in and want files
again country of rats
Yeah, but it's not I just love the idea of like
You're such an Irish guy that like just because I had a suit on once you're like you wait you had a real job
It's like I worked in a subprime mortgage boiler room. Like yeah, he had a real job
Your boss went to jail
But yeah, so I business acumen
So, you know we talked about how people like now everybody's a small business man
Like my generation didn't really understand until recently like what you guys understood which is like, oh, I'm on my own
Yeah, I'm a small business man. I'm a small I'm a small business. Yeah
Everything you do has to be generated out of this business
100 right, so I we never caught we caught on late, of course because I was from a different time
But in in a world
Theoretically if you had a movie, right? Yeah, I'd say we had this movie. We're gonna make make this movie, right?
What would you do to one raise the money?
to
Let the people at least have a chance to get their money back because you can't just get people to give money
Some stupid go fund me thing where they're not getting their money back
Why to be to have your name at the end of a list of 80 names at the credits. So what would you
Theoretically do I don't you probably didn't even tell me because it's not somebody else will end up doing it
But you know what I mean? You'd have to kidnap jarogan's dog or something
And then get you know what I mean like that
I was gonna say you would kidnap burke christier's family, but that wouldn't that would have been like ransom of the red chief were
But even but even burke christier's jarogan. He would have been like no, I'm like I'm gonna kill your family
Give me money burke's gonna go. All right. No, it's kalusa. We're going Ohio. See you grand rapids
I love helix mattresses. I have them and everybody loves them when they visit my home
My family is coming to visit my home on the 4th of july. I'm not really excited about that. They're very judgmental
We haven't seen each other in a long time
But they're all gonna love the mattresses
Everyone loves them even the pets
How will you know which helix mattress works best for you and your body take the helix sleep quiz and find out
What's your perfect mattress in under two minutes? So you just basically go to their website you take a quiz

Feel
Preverences and if your spy needs to match your tlc, they got you every helix mattress has a hybrid design
Combining individually wrapped steel coils in the base with premium foam layers on top. The foam is what's nice

This is their best offer yet and it won't last long helix sleep.com
Slash tim D with helix better sleep
starts now
um
But i'm saying let's say even joe rogan or burr crush. Yeah, if they gave you the money
Yeah, how would they get their money back? That problem is getting the money. Here's the problem movies
They cost so much fucking money to me. Yeah, they do and
distribution's weird because people aren't buying things online
The way they used to people are used to subscribing to things
Like hbo go or netflix or right paramount
They're not used to an individual purchase the way they would be, you know, maybe 10 years ago
The way they bought bought music on itunes now. They have apple music, which is a subscription
That's one of the problems with it because you can't know
How many people will buy something and you can't know how you're going to make your money back?
I think the hope would be
That after you made the movie you would
Have it you would license it
to a hulu netflix
Something like that, but that's depressing. It's very depressing. I mean some you know licensing it
It's like you do all the all this stuff and then the investors and by the way investors always
They it's hard for them to get their money back once it goes into those machines
And that's the other problem. You don't want to screw people out of their money
It's difficult because everybody because like with podcasts people have proven they can do late night shows on their own
They go, oh, I can basically do and get the audience at kimmel or fowler or colbert gatz
um
With sketches online people have proven they can do a version of what estenal does they go
I can make comedy sketches people can
You know digest them and and love them and subscribe to other things i'm doing
But with movies and similarly with episodic tv
It's very very difficult
You can't make a succession on your own
You can't make a game of thrones on your own. These are difficult things. These are massive big budget
Productions with hundreds of people top-notch talent
Um, it's difficult. That's why those companies still dominate that particular
genre of entertainment, but I don't think that's why because
Succession game of thrones are great
But when you're making when they're making it's because they promote what they want and they have the power to control
What people are saying that's right
So for example a movie like mean streets from 1973 at that time a low button god knows what the budget was that right?
But that kind of quality
You can't just but they can't make those they don't understand how to make a funny
Movie of that. John. They don't understand. So i'm just saying you can make in my opinion
Funny movies that a low budget because we're not trying to
That's a man with visual low budget, but you got to wonder how you get your money out of it. That's what i'm saying
That's the question. That's how I started this conversation. So really, you know, I don't know why
Suddenly I can like you're asking me. No, no, no, but it's hard. I thought no, you're right. I don't have an answer
Oh, I thought you did because of the mortgage thing if 20,000 people buy a movie for $10. That's not enough
That's not gonna be 50,000 people buy it for $10. That's $500,000. That's nothing
So now 100,000 people buy it for $10. That's a million dollars and that's a lot of people buying right
It's still not enough. Let me tell you. So let's say you had a movie. Okay
Theoretically, let's say at a movie like one of my movies you
chris de stephanel
Andrew Schultz, right? Yeah, so you guys are in this movie. Yes
Now you will promote it on your podcast as part of the thing. Yeah, that's where we go for promotion
No one's gonna help no one's gonna write and then you go on other people's podcasts and they
Promote it because they're like, why wasn't I in it? Right? Um, so they give you a little pass for aggressive
Yeah, so it's you three guys promoting how much how many people do you think you get to buy it?
It's the it's the big question mark because right it's a big question mark because you could look at all the numbers
and say
It should be a certain percentage of the amount of people you have
But you don't know until it's out there, right and how it's received
Well, yeah, it has to be great. It has to be great and people have to love it and it's got to connect and people
have to buy it
And they have to keep watching it and keep talking about it. It's like all of that stuff. It's hard to know
Whereas if like people buy ads based on a podcast when they go
Let's say this guy's got a million or two million listeners
A percentage of them will click the link and buy the product
You could try that with a movie and say well the if all add up all the listeners they have or fans
They have or look at ticket sales. Look whatever look at email lists
Still who buys it? That's the big question
But that's the other thing because look even when I did I did cop show right cop show. Yes was internet thing
Funnish really for everybody. I did everything right. It was all funny every episode's funny
All got all these celebrities at the time to be in it every episode
It's still no eyes. Right. I mean it was unbelievable
Because it's difficult even though something can be quality. Yeah
It's very hard to get it attempt like right now
The biggest things that I that I saw go viral
Were things that were initially things that people like hated or did it like little nozzaks
That's on old town road. Right. It was kind of like it came out. It was kind of like a joke
Then people were like, hey, it's kind of catchy. It's actually kind of good
Then he became massively famous
a lot of things start
as like this
Like I would think if we did a movie like this, right?
We'd have to come up with a marketing campaign and this is where you go to shaltz because he's brilliant
What's stuff like this?
um
And we could all figure it out, but you'd have to come up with a marketing campaign where the people
Had like Blair Witch project came out people like is this found footage? Is this right? Right?
Maybe it is now. Obviously. No one's gonna think that's not the angle we used. We're all known as comedian
We still have to find the marketing angle and Burke Reicher is brilliant with this too
That really gets eyeballs on this thing
Right
That's the challenge
That's hard. It's you you put all the work
like every
comedian
You know, you put a lot of it into the thing you're doing sure but then there's a whole other which i'm okay at
I'm not nearly as good as other people
There's a whole other job
Of getting people to see it. Yeah
Figuring out how
I would get higher the trans girl that Dylan Mulvaney from Bud Light. Yes, I'd hire her
I would hire Dylan Mulvaney to promote the film in the most grotesque way
I don't even like Bud Light. She's just there with the can and she's gone. I laugh beer
I would have her talking about
I would have her beating her dick with a hammer
Just to get attention. Yeah, just to get any attention
You need to kind of do something like that
Controversial
People got to be angry. Yeah, they got to be mad. It's all it's a it's a whole different thing. Yeah
Cop shows just a really funny good thing. Yeah, that's tough
You're right. People have to be angry. They have to kind of be enraged. Well, what about this? Yes
We get during the when we're filming right we have a
Camera that's a rogue renegade camera. We have nothing to do with it
Right, one of the camera man is just crazy, right and he catches
DeStefano and Dylan Mulvaney
Like blowing each other and that's believable. Yeah. Yeah, it's perfect and uh back behind the scenes
And then two days later when people get bored of that we have DeStefano trying to strangle Dylan Mulvaney, right?
He's got to hit her too. That makes sense. Yeah, there's got to be violence as well because we were gonna do it
Yeah, yeah, it's not a bad idea and she'd be up for it. We call her agent and she'll do anything
and
But it needs to be something like that as much as we kid
Without that type of controversy people it's just because there's so much shit out there now
That's what is it's youtube is so big. My uncle just watches fishing
Yeah on youtube. Yeah, there are people and he just watches that. Yeah
He just watches fit like to get to him
You have to get that you have to somehow
Puncture that community the bass boat community
Someone there's got to go this movie's really funny like everybody's in their own micro community right now
I'm speaking of fishing shows my last sketch and as I wrote the sketch
I was in it. It was a fishing show that was based on
Uh, we're bringing Tracy Tracy's like Brock Peters in um, you know the movie from 1960. Yeah, whatever it's called uh
What's that? What's the name that's famous they did a play
It's like the big movie of the racial thing from 1960. Um, the Medgar Evers thing
No, no, it was like the it was a giant play with Jeff Daniels
Did um to kill a mockingbird kill a mockingbird. Yeah, so was it so I'm there. I'm like, hi
Welcome to the fishing show and Tracy comes in I go understand you walked by miss so-and-so's house
And you looked in the window who I did not so and we did this whole sketch
It was like this one of these scenes
Jim brew is in it playing like redneck sheriff right and Daryl's in it as the father
And it was one of the funniest things they cut it after dress was a little dicey probably
Yeah, but the girl was britney spears like 18 years old and she was great in it by the way
That's amazing. It was really funny. Do you still have it? I don't I don't know how I could get a hold of it
Probably they probably burned it. What was your favorite thing you did on that show?
Uh doing the the lion up at the beginning. I did this lion character. It was like a drug lion
Yes, first was on with norm where I was like I began update doing that stuff and then once
Sitting next to bill Murray and it was like, you know by the time
I was there it was the 90s people had a different mentality like everything was
You wanted to do well bill Murray went on there and just did what bill Murray used to do which was this
Bill Murray's tone was never heard before he did it in the 1978
Nobody ever saw this tone in comedy
Just like richard bell's which bells would stand up was not that great, but nobody he invented. Okay, babe. Sure
Nobody did that before Richard bells. I never saw it and then people in the streets were doing it not just comedians
And bill Murray used to go like now listen to me guy and he had this ironic weird thing
He did these characters like this movie review
It was just a whole different tone than you'd ever seen in in comedy or in life
How many people have you seen do that like where they had where they're completely unique?
Um, I can't think of that many. I mean those are those are
I mean, I would say bill Murray chained like everybody was funny in different ways
They were all unique on saturday night live to a degree, but bill Murray
I'll tell you another one. I haven't seen even though it's based on something real
But it's that guy tom on succession. Right. That's unique. Yeah tone to see that you don't see the english actor mcfaden
Yeah, he's brilliant. He's doing this crazy guy. Right. That's like it's completely
You've never seen a character quite like that, but bill. Murray did like five characters on
SNL at that time
He did the ship like that cruise like you know people always make fun of like the lounge singer the oily lounge singer
Right. He did nobody did that before him. Right. Nobody did it with that tone the way he used to do it
And I felt like norm
Had that space. Yes, nobody perfect example, right norm's tone was
Dinctive and unique. Yes, and nobody did that. Nobody did what norm did, you know what I mean?
I talk about norm in the show too. It's funny, but and one of the things is norm would talk people
Like we talked to some strange way, you know small talking people and he'd be like and then the guy'd be like
You're right. I'm quitting his job and he'd walk out and then normal go to me
I didn't tell him to quit that job like yes, he did
But he like norm's whole world was not just
He was making fun of you a part of this
The suckers too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean you're telling me, you know, you just spring you in that brilliant podcast
He had with adam egan. Yes. Yeah, we're there. It's just yeah. Well, I went to norm's uh, uh
You know his uh memorial service. Yeah adam egan spoke and he killed it was all these professional companies adam egan went up and he goes
I love norm mcdonald even though if you google me today, it says holocaust denier adam egan has the first thing
And he went on about norm it was yeah
It was adam egan was perfect because you know the guest didn't know that
Like you have to guess norm would go like me
I agree with you not like this guy thinks that holocaust didn't happen and the guest to be
You could see the angry eyes like what and adam would just sit there and take it
And the guest would leave the show thinking this guy's a holocaust denier
Yeah, there was nothing funnier than when norm. Yeah was like, yeah, this guy
Fucking the holocaust
So fun and just
Blow past it and the guest would look you could see them looking and then norm would move on
Yes, yes, norm would just keep going and then yes, would you sneak a look at adam like what the fuck?
Yeah, and it was an adam to his credit didn't sometimes you tread the night usually just take the hit
Yeah, that's so funny. Have you gone down to rogan's club adam's running that club in no, I haven't been there yet
Yeah, he call he texted me. I don't know what happened. I'm supposed to do it. You should go check it out. I want to do it
Of course. Yeah, it's great. It's designed by a comic. You feel it when you're oh it is. Yeah
Yeah, a comic's known for their good interior design. I'm sorry. No, he's not a good interior designer
But like the way the rooms are felt right like the way the the spacing
Yes, the the crowd like where they are where you are on stage. It gets all perfectly done
Oh, I love it for I don't know that we need all the UFO imagery. It's it's a lot of UFOs
It's heavy on UFO imagery, but he likes that
But it is perfect in terms like ratio comedy wise. That's great. Yeah, I can't wait to do it
Did you ever do anything about woody allen? I feel like that's such a new york guy and you're such a new york guy and yeah
I was in um
I was in two woody allen. There's two woody allen stories that are quick
I'm quick. They take an hour, but um the podcast I know already you guys
He doesn't notice it, but one was I got in a movie in 1987. I got in a movie
New york stories woody allen's doing a movie him fox. Yeah, I remember that so I played a cop. I had a few lines

arrogant and just annoying person
This call time was 6 30 a.m. So i'm doing comedy at night. I'm smoking three packs a day
So first day I show up 9 30 on the set my trailer

Third day. I show up like 7 45 6 30 call. She's not even married. She's actually pleased. That's how you train people's minds
Yes, so she was like oh, okay, and she hates me, but she's beyond she's you know second a d
All they do is work. They sleep one hour a day for the whole shoot. Yeah, finally they get to my scene
We do the scene
We're union square park. I i'm thinking i'm in a woody allen movie, but I suck
At the time I didn't understand anything about acting and so they cut the scene
I was playing like cop with his mother
And I was so bad you could see it in the actress's eyes like oh this guy doesn't I don't wait did woody
Communicate how yes, he told me an acting. He goes okay. Just do this and I was like oh woody allen's directing me
I didn't realize that any of the insiders would know woody allen's
Trying to save the scene and he realizes there's a problem in a dead weight called this guy playing the cop
And was he he was nice. He was kind very nice, but I mean, you know
I was a little older. So, you know, right? I mean his motives was just pure right um, but the uh, but then so then like
15 years later this guy named ray garvey who's a
Cop who also wearing comedy clubs. Anyway, but in brooklyn pips, you know pips the old comedy club
Which I have a couple of stories about if you want to those two, but anyway
Pips was the this old new york comedy. It was it's older than the improv
Where was it sheep said bay wow and it's older than the improv. It was the first comedy club in new york city, right?
So anyway, this guy ray garvey's running he goes hey colin, you know, you want to do a
I'm doing a film with woody allen's gonna do stand-up and then he'll bring you on stage

And I got to get a town car. He starts screaming. He's mad. They calm him down. He goes on
After me and woody allen
Does imp does improv a half hour of the most brilliant
Free association just riffing on the room riffing on everybody
And then finishes. I mean literally 25 minutes people are crying right and then woody's in the audience
So everybody's laughing. He's busting woody. He's busting average balls
And then they go, okay pat now we're going to do turnarounds
We need you to do that again woody's got to go by woody. Thank you for coming woody leaves
They go now we got to get you speaking pat
He goes what they go
Well, we had to get we had to get woody before he left in the audience
So you want me to um do what I just did that brilliant uh off the cuff ad lib
You want me to do that now and you're going to do it with me
And they go, yeah, he goes
Well, oh, yeah, that's that's fine. You just another 25
Just me doing what I and they go pat. Don't be like you because hey, you know what?
Fuck woody allen
Fuck gray garvey
Fuck this whole
Shit production is never gonna be shit. Fuck you. Uh, fuck it. This is what people do in my whole career
And he goes
And he leaves and he leaves and he goes to randazo, which is a big clam bar
Yeah, randazo's clam bar. This is right next to the best pips was about 80 feet from randazo the best calamari sauce in the world
The greatest. Yeah, so that's it's probably like 50 yards from okay. So now I know exactly where it is. Yeah. Eman's avenue. Eman's avenue. Yeah, so um
So then we're over there at randazos and jackie mortley's trying to calm pat down. He's involved too
Yeah, everybody said your poorly walnuts was there everybody was you know, it's just all these new york people at that time
You know, and then they say pat you gotta relax
Don't tell me to fucking relax jackie. Who would have he's screaming all the customs are laughing like
Pat Koopa's having a meltdown. Yeah, cuz and it was really funny and um, yeah
So that was the that was the time with what he out. Those are my two woody allen stories
And that was the oldest club in the city
Yeah, and you started comedy what year?
Like 84, I guess middle 84 and you were starting it at at pips in places like that
Well, I'll tell you the great pip story. So I go to pips to audition. I'm from brooklyn
I think I might have been there once as an audience member because I used to be around that neighborhood sometimes
That was like a hot need that was like the brooklyn fun neighborhood
But you go there a place called captain waters a place called wheelers. It was like a little
Fun place you go. But anyway, so I go to pips. I'm gonna audition and I go there Wednesdays audition night
So I get there places close I get there early like I always get a place
And there's a sign pasted to the outside on a piece of loose leaf paper, you know, joey
Lembuko won't be here tonight
And I'm like, oh, don't think anything of it. Finally, they open I walk in
Audition happens as like eight of us 12 audience members, whatever seven people in the crowd. Nobody in the crowd
I get up to audition
six Italian guys from
From evanuex at the time evanuex was was a famous place in those years with
Yeah, just the wife beaters tattoos shaved heads and we're wearing shaved heads that summer. Yeah, probably 84
Maybe 85 and we'll share and they come in start throwing chairs around
Everybody get the fuck out of here
The show's out right through the middle of my addition. Jesus Christ the show's over the show's outside
Oh, come see joey lembuko. Whatever his name was. Don't see this shit
They're fucking so I get off stage
I stand next to the owner because I'm like I'd rather get my ass kicked and at least be able to work the club
Work the club, you know, it is right. You're addicted. So I'm like, yeah, fuck you
The owner's like set shoulder more issues one this shows brother and he's like you guys he didn't pay
Turns out the guy auditioned the week before on wednesday. That's why they're back on a wednesday, right? They're friend joey lembuko and didn't pass
Interesting. So now they go this one. I should have quit comedy
They chase the crowd out
There's a guy in a flatbed truck joey's up there on the flatbed truck doing his act
And these guys are like, yeah joey and he's like, yeah, you ever cracked somebody in the fucking side and you know, yeah, they're laughing
Like here's why I should have quit comedy. He's like four audience members
Four audience members out of the people who just saw them go crazy
Go around the truck and start watching and laughing
Like, okay, the show's out again now
Some people they're sheep. They don't care. They'll go out
We're outside a truck on Evans Avenue. Yeah, and they're like, okay shows out here now
At least we're not paying for our drinks right and just laughing to him like, okay, this is funny
But um, but the only thing was I got an audition because I stuck with the owner
They let me go on that friday night, but I bombed, you know, so they didn't use me anymore
So then it's 1984 and you start and and the city's dangerous then
Yeah, it's a different city. Yeah
And the mafia controls these clubs some of them now. Oh, yeah, I'm sure they ran pips
I'm sure they ran everything on him and say right
And then you're just trying to see who are the biggest comedians that you're looking at when you're starting
Um, was it jerry was it jerry was already big jerry was probably the biggest um, and then
Um, all the casualizing star comics were big
But who are they but it depends who is big like big with and within the comedy community else, right?
Not big like audience wise, but the big ones that we all were like, oh rich jenny
Yeah, rich jenny was
Considered like he was working all these road gigs and he was like the man, you know, there's a guy named ronnie shakes
I don't know if you ever heard of him
He was on the tonight show like five times. He's so funny. He goes
He do all one line as he goes. I um
I tried to uh commit suicide once
By drowning myself in the ocean. I don't know how serious I was. I brought a towel
Bunch of jokes like that and he was kind of big and um
You know eddie murphy had just blown up. I was bartending at the comic strip
So eddie murphy would come in once every six months right and like and just go on and it was crazy, you know
right, but um
Yeah, I mean, I don't know who was that big. I'm richard louis was big back then
You know larry david around. Yeah, but he wasn't a great guy. He wasn't he was a
Funny always, but he wasn't like some like he would get mad at the audience in two seconds
I actually was there one night when it was uh
Lenny dykstra and his friends. Yeah when the audience and them and larry david got into this big
Matt for the mats. Yeah, and then him and larry david got number not Lenny
But his friend okay some drunken friend of his and then they're leaving
And the friend is going you fucking you you you bastard
And then gilbert godfried was crying with laughter and just spent like an hour going
I had you back like he just loved that the friend did you know larry back in the gang?
Yeah, but I mean I knew was he kind of like an ornery guy or no
He was a night. He was a he was a he was an ornery, but he was not unfriendly to come in
No, he was a nice guy. He just was ornery to the audience right so like his opening
Here's how he would test the audience. I mean it was not fair to them and I believe me
Being fair to them is not high my priority right, but he would go. Uh, hello. That's good to be here
I'll use the two form with you people because I feel I know you well enough to use the two form rather than the vu form
So unless you took like french in fucking high school, right?
How would you know that right and then if they didn't let me like you fucking asshole
He would turn in the crowd very quickly. He was ready to just throw down
But he was always funny right like even to us. He was funny, you know, who were the was it? It was it like, uh,
female comp was like
Rita rodner, Nancy parker
Right, so Rita rodner's the she had a huge residency in vegas. Yeah, yeah, funny jokes
You know what I mean? Yeah, like oh, it's old. She was great. Was Joan rivers around or not really no those people
This was like a new thing. I think they must have been like what the hell's happening
Right, but rodney would come in right rodney would come in and he was this is a
He wouldn't go to his own club speaking of mob
He would come to catch and he'd show up in his bathrobe with a heineken and go on stage for 10 15 minutes and he was
So just he was a real comedian like he'd hang out and talk to the comedians and bust balls
Like he's a lot of them for openings and you know, you could try to sell them jokes
I tried to sell them a few jokes and he's like, yeah, right kid. No, no, no, that's okay. You know
And uh, because my jokes was so shitty and uh, and then some you know, I'm trying to sound like whatever
and um
And uh, some lady I remember once coming up to him going rodney rodney, you don't get no respect. He was okay lady
Okay, go fuck yourself. Okay
It's like, oh my god
But he was just he was a funny guy. He's the only real celebrity it would come in
Yeah, and then how did everything like
When when your snl was like because you were doing a bunch of stuff that was later on that was much later
I was on mtv right that was my big that was my thing snl
That's what that's when I would really like if there was a time
That would have been the time for me to blow up it would have been
I was I would go to a college and there'd be 1500 people lined up
I go, what show are they waiting for and the guy would laugh and I go, what do they live?
He goes, no, that's for you and I was like, holy shit. That's when college kids watch tv. I wasn't prepared
Yeah, nobody over we would walk around the streets me and ken the house
any we would get swamped like
Kids screaming and nobody over 23 knew what the hell who the hell was really interesting
Yeah, things were so delineated, you know, right, right? It would just cut off an SNL was the 90s
Yeah, that was I remember watching you. Yeah on the on that show in the 90s
And that's what when did you meet adam and those guys? Was it at snl? No, I met adam
I met adam when he was 17 before before mtv. I knew him on mtv too
And but I met him in 1984 85 he was 17 and he was just coming around with this little crew of guys
And he was his kid from NYU that was just you know a charismatic
He already had his crew of the guys he still works with today. Wow. And yeah, it was really interesting, you know
And he was it just immediately obvious how insanely talented he was no first time I saw him
I was like this kid's
He's cocky, but he's not really funny
But right and then he went on the road for six months
And he came back just on the road by himself did his worked all these shit gigs
Did wherever he went and I came back and I was like this is a star
Right just funny, you know, I mean he was always a charming cocky guy
But when he came back from that road, I was like that boy that you did it out. Yeah, that's the beauty of the road
like, you know, right
The beauty of comedy which no other art has I feel like is the audience without the audience
Editing and helping you and throwing cold water and going. That's not funny. We're here to laugh
Sorry, you can be as clever. We don't get it without that. That's that's what we have that nobody else has
We have that feedback that's immediate feedback that's immediate and honest
It's not it's involuntary laughter. Right. I mean, right. So even if your musician is out there
If I go to see a band I like I'm not I'm gonna kind of be like
I don't know what to tell them is wrong. You're not gonna yell out in the middle of their new song
This isn't working. This yeah, you're this part is dragging you need to check
But when you're silent, you're telling the people we're not laughing right now
And you're like, oh, well, they came here to laugh. They like me. They want to laugh if they're not laughing
I can pretend it's something else, but it's ultimately I'm not gonna get left there unless I fix that
So when he came back from that time on the road, you were like, this is it was only six months
When he came back and he was so funny and so charismatic
Funny as hell and just had his he just became himself by the time he was 18 19 he was just
He had that he had that thing that thing where people just you had to love him
You you had to love him. He was just funny cocky, but in a nice way and just had it
Right
It's like certain people you watch
Like we watch, you know, I'll I'll I'll still listen to
Patrice on on a you know and obviously watch all of his specials, but when you
You know, you listen to him on on a the way he would break something down. Nobody. Yeah, that's right. Nobody
Can do that
You know, that's right. He did it nobody that's correct
And that's what I think that I guess the best compliment is is that this is a one and done
This person's perspective is that's it. Yeah, and it's and it's yeah
And and it's also the tone and even on tough crowd
Patrice on tough crowd, which I didn't even notice as much at the time as much as I loved what he was doing
but
He would just go
And you and you knew okay for the next three everybody's trying to speak and get their thing in
This son of a bitch would stop and say okay, and he'd almost his body language. You'd move back
Now we're gonna listen eat me for fucking three however long I decide this is right and if you look at stand-up
The people a lot of successful stand-ups
Are doing a tone of you're gonna listen to me however long it's gonna take interesting, right? Yeah, that's probably true
And then a lot of people yeah, and I I'm always amazed at how
like
When people get into that zone that patrice was in
Every topic he talked about he owned it
Uh, only exactly what I'm saying right owned it. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, because for whatever reason
When he was he's one of these people he'd speak about something
And then suddenly well look, what do you think you what do you think your podcast is popular because
You'll start talking about something and then you be people be like
Oh, I know where this is going and then suddenly it goes to a turn and you're like what why are you going in that?
That's the unique. That's what tone is. Yeah, it's some it's all people's minds. That's what makes things interesting
Yeah, I know you don't like a compliment being Irish, but um
I could just see like I've lived in california long enough. I'm an arab
Actually, I'm uh, you know, I I forgot everybody dressed in this city everybody's in
Monochromatic, uh, you know blues and blacks and gray and you know, I I have you know color
I got yeah
salmon shorts
And uh, I just you know, I forgot that new york everybody's just like
Invested in this uniform of misery. Well, I feel like it's all I'm dressed like a music manager in miami who just got my artist at a jail
And I'm like, yeah, my artist rolling loud, but we had to get them out of jail
And uh, we're very excited
I represent shiggy the god who will be
Shiggy had issues with his baby mom's guy. Um, but you know, it's all good gun wasn't his
He'll be rolling loud on the smaller stage 6 30 p.m
You know, everybody come out. Um, yeah, yeah, it's it's it's crazy. You know
you've been
Like one of the most influential people I think with comedy because you do it in a in a way that people
You know the one-man show you were doing before a lot of people did it
Sure
And you're you do it with jokes and a lot of people do it without jokes
Jokes a lot of people do it without them, but that's the thing. Yeah, you're not doing jokes
Right, it's not coming to me if you're not eliciting laughs. That's what just
However, you do that you do it, but if you're not getting laughs, it's not stand-up comedy
You can call it something else, but yeah, it's not stand-up
That's the pride that we want but the fun because I talked to louis recently and louis like maybe I won't come back to it
Because louis like done it all so
Like louis hit the heights and we don't love him to come back. He's amazing
But I mean, he's done everything. There's you know, yeah
That do you ever feel like you you'll maybe one day be at a poor no because you just dive in a
New topics all the time. Well, I have so much backed up material too that I could do but but like I said
I'd like to take a few years and just
Write and direct things. I know just because I yeah stand up. I've been doing it so long
It's not like I'm at some high level. I mean, I you know, I'm out there humping when I go when I go out on the road
I can't you know, I'm not I'm selling a couple hundred seats
So it's not like I'm some big act where I'm like, oh, this is crazy. I'm flying out. I'm bringing my friends with me
That's not the way it goes. Right. So it's fine. I'm just saying but that's
That's not the kind of attraction. But have you ever thought of launching an energy drink?
Because your problem is you spend all this time like writing the jokes getting the perfect material
Oh, here's the great take on this
That's not what what we're doing now
I don't know if you've taken a look at the landscape
But we're not doing that. We're doing more like energy drink. I like that. Yeah
You know, it's it's going in a different direction. Do you do you
Maybe I'm still do more music. I'm still my I don't even have merch. I'm still right
merch the whole show is about merch
Instead of comedy now you just take the photos with the people you sell them the shirts and you go on stage five ten minutes
but I
I mean what started what are you? That's the way to do it. Yeah, but it's it's
I don't know any listen. Here's what I'll say. It's a weird
Weird thing now because
You know, we're we're all fighting for attention
Well, everybody's always I mean that's comedy. You're fighting your attention. Oh, yeah
We all want people to go. Oh this person's saying something funny on that side, of course, right?
So we're all at no one's above it. Everyone has to do it. Yeah
I do it my crazy way to run around with wigs and fake tits like yeah people just you got to get attention
That's fine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like I said, as long as it's you know, it's style and substance
Not yet subs not your style, you know, as long as this silent substance, but if you have the choice style
That was my mistake
Style and substance, but if you have to lose one of them
You can
What do you think about?
You know, you did such a your red safe loose day was so funny because it was
About this idea of a national divorce, which is actually like you said and jokes
But it's also everywhere now that like, you know, you can
Read all of this stuff, right? And people are talking about it and it it's kind of interesting, you know
This I advise anyone that hasn't seen that to watch that
Because it is funny about we've stopped seeing the differences
In each other comedically
That's right. We don't see them as funny
We see them as threatening. Yes, and that's the the the prelude to unfortunately what seems like a bad situation
That's correct because if you can laugh at
Hey, they're a little wacky in the blue states and the red states are wacky for their reasons
Right and everybody has different vibes and everybody could kind of laugh
And nobody's really forcing each other to do the thing that the other one, you know
And now it just feels like we're trying to make this into a one-size-fits-all thing
And we can't laugh well the that further what you're describing first happened to ethnicity
And now in this country with and I did new york story was
I bet I got that one and slipped that one under the door
Right and now it's now it's about ideological things and it's just
And it's just the most the people that set the tone in my opinion because of social media partially mostly
is the most
The the zealots right and the extremists and the people that are and that zealot and extreme
Nobody ever uses expression this person was activist funny
Because for a reason so these are the people that set the tone right and even their idea of humor is very
You know, it's what I liked about red state blue states. You broke down culture. Yeah, and you talked about
Not what it's not a political show. It's not this. It's not that you talk about culture and how people differ
And how environments differ and how you know people believe certain things and think certain things because of where they're from
And how they live. Yeah, and to flatten all of those people and to make them all feel one way
Is a fool's errand. Yeah, exactly. And that's yeah, it's gonna lead to the blow up
I mean long island in new york is so different if you drive
Absolutely 40 minutes to where I grew up. It's different
The Manhattan so how in god's name are you gonna get central texas? That's right on board with
Yeah
Tacoma right just don't well and or you die trying well and like true true what true zealots do is they think
That the the people in that part of Long Island have to change right the way they see things. They're wrong
Instead of going wait a minute. Let's discuss this and find a way
But nobody should be a little bit of a live and let live
Yeah, or at least a compromise but the whole country's based on compromise, but apparently that's uh,
It's not gonna it's gonna not gonna fly in the future. Yeah, it's it's a crazy
if you I always say it by
Which is if you if you're either if you characterize people as either
groomers or nazis
There's not going to be a lot of wiggle room, right?
If you're a good point and that's it
That's all that is that we've descended to the type of politics where everyone's either a pedophile or a nazi
It is on the internet everyone's just tweeting that. Yeah, it is a good point
In true in full disclosure. My brother said it first, right?
He's not a gage. Wait. No, my brother. Okay
He's not a comedian. He just said it to me one day. Yeah, that's a good point
He's a great point. Well, thank you for disclosing that because we would have known
No, people would have said, oh you said that and yeah the rest of my life. I'd be like, well, my brother
My brother
um, it's it's interesting and and this new chat
GPT and all the AI and all these computers that are going to
Take over and everybody kind of is cheerleading that I I think we lived in the last time
Of the thing that we're doing
Being done the way we do it. Yeah, I think things the digital world's gonna win
Or it's gonna be it's gonna be so transformative that what we did was unrecognizable. Yeah, um
But I'm glad I lived now
If somebody said would you like to be two years old now? I'd say no
I know. I mean, who knew the matrix?
Even at the time people like this matrix is really amazing. Yeah, but now people like oh my god. Yeah, this sucks
Yeah, but I I'm glad that I kind of occupied the time I did where I saw a little bit of it. Yes, but I had a lot of
Before it became omnipresent where you couldn't get away from it. Well, it's funny
You say that because this this small talk is about how
Person out how you won't see I talk about
That there needs to be a museum because you'll not see these personalities
No, again because of gpt chat and all the other stuff all the other stuff that's taken flat and everybody all algorithm
And it'll seem like it's being deep, but it'll be well
We're now engine it we have the ability to engineer people that's from their birth
That's right throughout their whole life
And they're much more connected to their phone than they will be to their community
That's right and to their traditions and so those personalities you would find all over the country that differ greatly
Are going to go away and they're going to be replaced by this kind of homogenized version exactly. Yeah
Which will suck
Yeah, but those are the people that eventually in whatever the next phase of whatever that will just fall in line
And be the workers for
Whoever's running the show. Yeah sadly. Yeah. Well, it's all right people already fall in line the way they speak
They speak in algorithms right a lot of what I talk about. Yeah. Yeah, that's interesting. They speak in algorithms. Yes, that's it
Yeah
Well, it's fun stuff
Yeah, real funny, but it's fun, but it's the irish and you know
It's the you know, louis does that bit all all good things and bad
And that's the irish thing. Yeah
That's the thing about being irish is not really
Expecting like people that I know that are really drunk on hope. Yes
It's so antithetical to me just because I was raised without it. That's that's right
I mean the irish are raised without us. No, we don't believe in that kind of we don't believe in enthusiasm and hope is just disgusting
It's gross people look at you like you're just they're disgusted by it. No, it's like yeah
Yeah, there will be a tomorrow, but I mean god only knows what the hell that's right. Like is that right? Yeah
Good luck with that. Yeah
And it we do live in a time now we're in order to be super positive you have to be a little bit of a sociopath
Yeah, I think it's always been that time. Well, that's probably
Yeah, I mean to be just completely like things are good. Yeah
Yeah, coliquin. Where can people get tickets?
To this new show. Well, when's it coming out? This is coming out today. Oh, wow. Thanks
We're on a quick call. I'm flying to Kansas City. Geez. I know coliquin.com. I mean, that's really the way to go
Colliquin.com you're in new york. That's the way to go. That's the way to go
And then you're on the road
And then I'm on the road a little bit and then hopefully by next summer
I'll be
Directing you outside of an Italian restaurant in island park. I mean, we've always wanted to make this movie
But I think it could be more of a reality
Yeah, I think so too now
And we'll see. I mean there are there are things that are good. They're you know positive
I just got my I don't want to say what was done to me, but I just did a horror movie
I just did another really big movie. I had a small scene the director yelled at me a lot
I don't know if it's in the movie
But it's with one of the biggest stars in the world and maybe it will be in the movie
But the director seemed very unhappy with me
But at the end he said I meant my wits end with you
But at the end but at the end he said good job. We got it
So I think that means something. I don't know what I don't think it does it might not
I think you just think he's gonna take it out. I think he's gonna give you the Woody Allen Woody Allen
I don't want to say when Woody Allen was directing me. I thought the same thing after that. We're pretty good
It's not coming out for a long time. Yeah, but I'll just say that
At the end of the you know during the scene he would come up to me because I don't know what you're doing
You know how many times I heard this. Yeah, I'll explain acting here if you ever want because what is it because I think I'm doing it
Well, but it's directors. I think they're the problem
These people exactly what he cares. I'm gonna tell you exactly what it is
Okay, it's one. We don't know what we're doing with acting. So it took me a long time to understand
Yeah, I don't get it the problem. Yeah, I do some of it. I guess no, no, he's surprised. I show up
Isn't that enough here's what I'm telling you the problem is when as comedians in my opinion
We try we want to entertain in the scene. So instead of just realizing that tim dylan
Just talking right here being yourself
Not moving not trying to be entertaining is funny
What you want to stand on stage if you went up there and you go, haha, I have a joke
It's a laughing it would be insane. Right, but we're doing that in acting scene. So you're like, I have to be interesting
No, you don't all you have to do is just be yourself
in that fake circumstance
That's interesting and that's funny and that's
Danger but it's because we're like I gotta bring something to this
That's the opposite of what we know to be the truth. But because it's acting we think it's got to be doing so
I hope the scene is in the movie. Yeah
That is my hope and prayer because at the end well at the end
I think it was great. Well when he said we got it
I think he means we get it
Well, no, I I said when I said it was a good it goes. Yeah, because I don't move on until I got it
Because you got it. He goes and then a little asian woman came up to me
She goes, uh, he said great job and I said, thank you. Oh my god. It sounds like you were bad doing them
And then I left and then I left and then they never had me back to set
First of all the fact you go. Was it good the guy felt cornered
No, I wanted to go. I went insane. No, this is like a little guy. He was always yelling. That's what I mean
And you're like, was it good? He's like, we got it. Please tell him it's good. It was the first scene I did
They cut it any no Colin it's the first scene I did in any movie
Who cares about some stupid it's any movie and I'm not saying which movie it was we'll do all movies. What?
What? Well, I don't think I'm allowed to say it, but I will say that
I hope it's in this movie because I signed all this shit. It's like a marvel movie. No
It's like one of those type of movies big movie. It's a it's a it's a it's a
The stuff can I say the stars of the movie?
Can I say the stars of the movie? What'd you sign this stuff? I don't know
I don't read what I sign
Can I say the stars of the movie? But no, I don't think anyone will get it
You're talking to me like I'm a I'm an entertainment lawyer. I don't know if you can say the stars of the goddamn movie
You probably cut out anyway. They have a close if you call and they didn't cut it out. It's an integral scene
That's what he said
He goes it says I don't think it's cutting out. Yeah
But I can't I don't want to tell people what it is. I here's what I'll say. Okay. The stars of the movie, you know
are
It's gonna
They're big. Oh, they're big. You I wonder if I say them. Will you get it?
Um, yeah, I already get it white man can't jump the new one. It is it is white man can't
Jump that's the stars of the movie. No, it's frozen three. It's live action
Let it go. It's me and Dylan Mulvaney in frozen three
No, it's it's the stars of the film are
Are are are Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga dare the stars of the movie and I'm not gonna say the movie
It's just there's stars in the movie and the scene I had was with Joaquin. That's a big
That's a big thing. It's very intimidating. She's he's a serious actor. It's well, so am I a little bit
And he was we both did well
But no, I I'm hoping it's in I pray it's in because it was really an amazing experience and I pray it's in
Did you meet Lady Gaga? No, no, no, I you know
I think she's a brilliantly talented person, but
I was super intimidated
Because it was hard, you know when you do a scene with a guy like that. It's tough
Only because he's brilliant and you know
I did good
I think it's in don't you think it's in? No, it sounds like it's out
Just the fact that the guy that you had to come over and go okay. Was that good and he goes um, yeah
I only said is that good because they had to keep doing it and he was screaming at me. Yeah saying it's bad
That's because it was a lot of blocking. That's what I was fucking up
And the lines and the lines I couldn't oh, okay. I didn't really have the lines you didn't feel like
Uh, well conscious other than the blocking and the lines it was good
Those were the two problems
Those are the two those are the main those are the main issues
Those are not important, but they gave me the lines of the day of because they didn't want the script leaking out because it's one of these
Films and was what came feeling so looking at you like who is this person? Well, he you know
No, no, I think he gets it. Yeah
I think he understood that we're colleagues you should have asked him to come on the podcast
I don't know how that would go
Lady gaga he I don't know how that would go either
Should be interesting while keen is brilliantly in a you know, he's so in it. Yes
That I don't know. I don't know like shooting the shit how that
This this thing I do is what they consider a low art form a low low art
What comedy and podcast? Well, just sitting around and running my fat mouth about things like it's not respected
You know what I mean? It's like it's the definition of not respected like
There's a great scene in barry the new season of barry where they're like, listen, let me explain something to you
They're like you called someone a cunt on the internet and your boyfriend is in jail for murder
They're like you could have a reality show or a podcast, but uh, but yeah, it's it's tight as turned
But the reality is I think probably people look down on a podcast which I get if I was walking Phoenix
I may look down on a podcast too
But I'm not
But I feel like the scene was really good and I hope it's in and I don't want to please don't get me in trouble for saying the
God damn thing
I mean, I didn't say it. I didn't say they could be doing five movies together. We know and movies
Yeah
What's the big deal?
I'm just saying the scenes in and I did good
At the end it was good, right
I just want you to believe it's good. I don't I believe you got the same reaction that I got from Winnie Allen
And I got cut immediately. But what do these people know? But
All I know is you know right now in your gut whether that's he got caught or not
I just want to know before I go because I'll be so embarrassed
I'll be so embarrassed if it's not in I know I'll be mortified. Yeah, but usually that I think you find out beforehand
That's part of the your agent will find out
I think by the end of the yelling it was actually good by the end of the screaming
Yeah, because I got better. Well, yeah, I need I need to get roughed up a little bit sometimes
All right, then that's good because I needed that the net. Yeah, that may have worked
After all of like what the fuck are you doing? Why are you doing it this way? Some don't understand it. Why aren't you listening?
some people like uh like um
Quinn Buckner responded to bobby knight's coaching
But larry bird left after a year because he doesn't respond to that so
Some people like yell that by bobby knight and some people leave the and go to indiana state because they can't take it
it all depends
I'm known as hollywood's larry bird
No, no, you're the opposite. You stood there. You're the guy that lets well. I'm no millennial
You can spit in my face. That's what I'm saying me. Yeah, just put the scene in the movie. Yeah, I respond
To someone because I need direct everybody needs direction. That's right. But you have the right attitude
Which is like, oh, I fine. I I sit there and I gave it all rustles of the world
I could get yelled at because I get it. Yes, because I am fucking it up a little bit
But maybe it's the whole process is becoming better
Yeah, well, maybe maybe maybe my fucking up is like bringing things out and all the other actors
Enlightened attitude. That's great. I think so
Yeah, so maybe I want kina's right now. I see he put his hand on my shoulder and he
He pulled a lighter out of my pocket. He just started smoking. Oh, what is that? He was seen
Oh, yeah, he will he smokes on this on set because it helps him
But in the scene is he smoking a cigarette? No, no, I thought that was like a cool thing in the middle of the scene
He took a lighter out. No, no, no
Just do his character, you know, well, they kept interrupting it going cut cut cut cut what's happening
Yeah, I'm it. Listen by the end it was good. It's everything else is a process calling quinn.com. Yes
