[Assistant] Yeah, I've shared this before, but I think it's worth sharing again because it's very interesting. They changed the NFL, the Super Bowl halftime show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Super Bowl halftime show used to just be something very generic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, one year it was the Walt Disney characters doing a halftime thing and in living color at halftime there was a separate network of the Super Bowl. They did a live show and people turned away from the Super Bowl at halftime to watch in living color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it took away viewers to the point where the next year of the Super Bowl book, Michael Jackson is their halftime entertainment. And ever since then, it's been a huge deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was the rest of the night just mingling or was it orchestrated?

[Assistant] Well, while you're looking that up, let me tell you about better help. We can all use some better help, right? And why are, uh, some, what are some things that you want to keep the same about yourself or your life in 2024?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the new year. Around new years, we sometimes think about how to change ourselves instead of just expanding on what we've already been doing right. Kind of like you finally organizing one part of your space and you want to tackle another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, therapy helps you find your strengths so you don't have to have extreme resolutions and make small changes that stick. If you're thinking of starting therapy, give better help a try. It's entirely online.

[Assistant] Designed to be convenient, flexible and suited to your schedule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with a licensed therapist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And switch therapists anytime for no additional charge. You get a therapist, you don't like the therapist. We get it. We can change it up. We can start all over.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I'm going to share some stuff about Serenade Live that I thought was very interesting that I never, never learned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the reason Saturday Night Live even started is because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] NBC affiliates at 1130 Eastern on Saturday nights were running.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Johnny wanted to stop, start, stop working so much. He wanted to take a night off during the week and rerun that episode there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he was like, you got to find something else for Saturday night, 1130. So the NBC president went to Lauren Michaels, who I think maybe was 29 years old, something like that at the time, super, super young and said, can you come up with a show? There was already a show called Saturday night live. They had just started on ABC, hosted by Howard Cosell. Do you know who Howard Cosell is? He's this old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sports announcer that did Monday Night Football, the last person you would think that would be hosting a show called Saturday Night Live. And it was one of the worst shows in television history. That guy right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they couldn't call Saturday Night Live, Saturday Night Live because there was already a Saturday Night Live. So when it first started, it was called NBC Saturday Night, which I never knew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then they would say live from New York, it's Saturday night instead of saying it's Saturday night live, which I've never even thought about. And the Howard Cosell show, because it, it aired during prime time, they were called the prime time players. So on SNL, they were called the not ready for prime time players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean that's still all that. Now the Howard Cosell Serenade Live version did not last very long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. But it was apparently terrible. It had Bill Murray.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Brian Dole Murray, who I didn't, I had no idea that was his, Bill Murray's brother, but he's been in a ton of stuff. Christopher Guest. So they had some big people. Wow. But it just didn't last very long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even his episode, uh, Christopher Walken was the one that said it. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, um, that's gotta be crazy. I know. And then maybe your episode was the first one where they switched it to Mikey Day playing vibe. It was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I don't know if they officially said that, but that's what I read and that does seem to make sense. Yeah. So that does make sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's only been delayed like maybe three times ever. One of them was the game six of the 1986 World Series. That's the famous Bill Buckner game. It went to extra innings and it was delayed a couple hours starting. Jennifer Lopez hosted once and there was an XFL game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going on. XFL just started. The game went long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they didn't tell her that this isn't going out live. They went ahead and did it starting at 1130, but it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually 45 minutes late, but Lorne Michaels was so mad about it that he went to NBC. The XFL changed their rules. Just accommodate him as far as the length of the game and they agreed if the game's never over, they're just switching to Saturday Night Live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three comics an episode, very funny comics, uh, you know, it's like TV clean material, so it's, you know, that's what we're-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One episode out. Is that the one that I'm in? Yep. All right. I believe so. Who is your favorite? I'm saying this and I have not looked at anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. That thing says at Nate land is, uh, is the YouTube. So that's good at Nate land. We'll change that to Nate land company. We're still, we're still in the, the mix of change and all that stuff. It didn't look like it's out yet. It's not, it's, it comes out.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like it's more fun to say it that way. It's more fun to say it that way. You know your son, what's your son? I'm a Taurus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I would say so. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. If you got some of his beliefs, uh, it's about the most stubborn you can be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what we're trying to do with the Nate Land company. Separate ourselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. It'd be great if you had, and that record was, the course record was 18, or 26.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would be a lot of people want to play that course. I can't believe he shot a 26. That's hard to believe. 11 witnesses. Should get that on the PGA. They should do that course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. What's the point? Uh, we had a fun weekend, uh, a fun, this has been a couple weeks we've been out. I know I've, uh, missed a few and, uh,

[Assistant] Thank you and did good. Uh, filling in and, uh, we got dusty back and, uh, yeah, this, this month has been, yeah, he's gone. We've, I got a lot of stuff this month. I'm home for, uh, I think about a day and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're in Boise, this, just this weekend, Unreal Show, Salt Lake City, uh, where the jazz play, and that was very special. A lot of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm the, uh, for, for a stay at that arena, I'm, uh, the number one comedian. Alright. Second all time entertainment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, well, it's very, it's very, very nice that, uh, obviously, uh, Utah is a, I go there a lot, very special place. Uh, but I mean, everywhere Boise, I mean, uh, I, you know, I won't be blanking on where we were even before that, but it's, and then this week we go to,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Portland, Maine and like Rochester and the Radio City, uh, it's just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. There you go. I love Portland, man. It's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, great dude. Uh, yeah, it was, it was some, and the shows were really great. Uh, the crowds were so good. So good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like arenas are, I know they're big and all that, but I, uh, really, I mean, I like doing them in the fact that you have these screens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you can see it's almost watching a special taping live, I would imagine, you know, for like, cause you know, I've been to a ton of shows and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not comedy, but music or anything. You always end up kind of watching the screen, but that's always a thing that you kind of think, well I don't want to, I feel like I'm just watching the screen, I'm not watching. But I mean, you would have to be in a small, small venue to actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw a guy we met had binoculars. Yeah. Yeah. I could see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. Joe likes nice binoculars. Yeah. He has some, he could get it to him right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so it's, but I mean with the screens, I looked at it as like, I was like, you know what? It's, it's like, it's the, the great part of this is you're in a room together with a lot of people and it's fun just to see everybody have a fun time and laugh and it's contagious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I remember people would afterwards, some would say, man, this guy behind us was just dying, laughing so hard. And we were laughing at like how hard he was laughing. But it's like, people just love seeing people have joy. And that's, and that's what's so great with the ring. Cause you get stuck in a spot where it's hard to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything you go to, it's gonna be hard to see someone's face, but with the screen, I mean, I can do facial expressions more than I could in a theater because you have a screen there and they get big laughs because you're able to, it's like watching a special, but being there and also being in the moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's yeah, it's a, you get in a groove and it's just, yeah, it's a special and everybody that comes out is just nice and, uh, wonderful. We love it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, yeah, it was so high. They just go, I mean, it was when you walked out, cause we have a curtain up, you know, like right once you walk out on the stage. So we're not just, everybody can just see everything backstage, but you can see the top. And I mean, it's just all the way to the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's, I mean, the fact that people come out, I, yeah, it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, yeah, you have dreams of it happening like this, but it's every single time it's overwhelming. It's, it's, it's pretty special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's the fun part is making that many people laugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, you know, that's the goal is like, cause every, I do it every hour. You gotta, the next one's you gotta somewhat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's not like one can, I guess, people are gonna like, I mean, so many people like Tennessee Gits because it's the first one they saw or whatever they saw, uh, and, but you just try to make it this moment where like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you can just have them laughing the whole time and just having a good time and they leave, just like, what a, you know, like they feel fulfilled. I mean, that's the goal. That's what we're trying to do at Nate Lane Company. All you gotta do. Create some stuff. Yeah. We're doing, uh. Get your angel investments in now. Get your angel investments. Co-America. Co-America. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. That's what you're doing. That's what I'm doing. Neyland Company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're, we are, we're gonna have, we're gonna have great stuff, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of stuff planning, there's a lot of stuff that we're planning to do, uh, with this, trying to make stuff that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uh, like all these specials that we're about to do, it's comedy. You know, like I said, it's comedy that you can go with your whole family. That's, that's the thing that I want it to be. And we're not making comedy for kids, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your, your kids can listen, you can decide if you want your kids to listen. I mean, they're, you know, I'm not saying everything's going to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not going to like every single thing or you might not this and that pick, but it's like the, the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're, I'm doing it with the idea of you and mine. The watcher. And, uh, you know, stuff you don't have to turn off in your kids. Well, it's just stuff like that. It's like stuff that you can feel. It's a little safe. I mean, I understand having kids, uh, you know, it's like there's stuff. Try not to make it uncomfortable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the whole, you know, but we have 10 year olds come to shows. I like that. I think when they're that young, some, some of them, cause they listen to this podcast, get everything. Cause you know, and then some kids, you know, they get, they get what they get, but they love seeing their parents laugh hard. And then you love seeing your kid like get stuff and you're just trying to make it that kind of thing where.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, you know, even the younger generation feels like they're listening to an adult, uh, programming kind of, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's okay for them, you know, the, the goal of is it's okay for them to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think how you do it is you're not trying to reach 10 year olds and 70 year olds. I'm just trying not to make my parents upset with what I'm doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything I put out, I just don't want my parents to be embarrassed or mad and they would come watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's really how I just do every joke I do. Every, everything is just, I don't want my parents, I think a lot of, you know, my wife's parents, I just don't want any of the older generation to be like kind of disappointed or like just kind of like, you know, I think about them a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it's just, I just feel like they don't, it's not like I'm trying to make it for them cause you don't have to make it for them. They get everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have to like, like dumb it down for kids or for, uh, adults. You can, you just do your act and then just don't do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's... Well that's what I'm doing too, you're just doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, uh, he likes it. Okay, good. Yeah, I mean, I think, I do compare him to a girl in this new act.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told a joke, I said it this week on, at Utah, but it's funny cause I grew up, my parents are Catholic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, are they, they grew up Catholic and then, but we were, but I was raised Baptist. And so they went to Baptist one year. So I have all of the Catholic guilt without any of the fun of Catholic and then just the strictness of Baptist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is the most strict, especially not as much now, but when we were growing up, Baptist was the most, they could get disappointed real fast that year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and that's just what it was now. It's not like that now. And, uh, so I have, you already have like, you already feel, so every day is like a pretty tough day when you're like, you got the Baptist, like I can't, I'm not supposed to do any of this stuff. And then you get to, then I get the Catholic guilt, but without the Catholic is probably the funnest one. They get loose with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, anyway, it was, uh, fun, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's been, this tour has been special. It's been great. We're off and running. We're doing, uh, you know, we're going to have a big, big thing. You're at the beginning of this Nate Land company stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we got the show, we got, uh, the three specials are out that we directed and then, uh, we got the showcase coming out. We're going to hopefully do more of those. We got some other plants, some other stuff coming, uh, and try to really make something, you know, I don't know. We'll see what it, what it ends up becoming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just trying to, you know, not be, just be entertaining. I'm sold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a great time. It is a cool spot. Uh, Joe was with me and so we, we went through it. Played golf with Tony Fino. Played golf with Tony Fino. Uh, Joe's a very good golfer. I'd say Joe played college golf with Davidson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's start with you guys comments, uh, boo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always felt like a weird way to spell Beau though, didn't it? I know, golfer Beau Hossler and he's, that's how he spells it. So Beau, Boa Villa. Sounds like a woman's name though at the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's kind of the podcast. Yeah. Maybe you could listen one time. Uh, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I usually, I wonder if anybody ever says that to someone, like, you got a lady's last name. I don't know. A villa. Boa Villa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go Jackets! People love that. They liked, yea. I had a guy yell Go Jackets this weekend. And I didn't, like, it was even, uh, in Idaho Falls. Uh, they were great too. Yea. You know what, cause you people, you bring the energy. That's like what's so wonderful. And we have a 3pm show in Salt Lake City. Great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sunday shows, great. You know, usually typical of Friday and Saturday, everybody kind of, that's when they're typically going out, but everybody comes very excited. We're adding all these shows, so we have to do them sometimes at weirder times and all this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will do our, we'll do the best weekend to bring you that, but I mean, you guys have been really great at no matter what time. You know, the shows have been awesome. Uh, but a guy yelled Go Jackets last night. And, uh, I first, I was like, what? And then I was like, oh, and then I was like, yeah, yeah. And then I was like Go Jackets. Yeah. Uh, yeah. So I love, I love Go Jackets. Grant Morgan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nate said if the NFL fined him for throwing the football in the stands, he would tell them they had to give the money to charity. And Aaron said that would never happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Jeff, Jeff J Snyder. Baker's dozen was right. That's uh, we call him B names. Uh, I don't know if I'll explain it. Any, any B name that's they're talking about me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeah. Love BOGO tour. I told him about the BOGO tour this week. Yeah. Yeah, that was a fun one. Uh, Baker's dozen was right. The Braves did call themselves America's team during the TBS days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice job, Nate. Is that it? Roy? I don't know, but that's a good guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's great. I felt like they knew that other stuff was going to be so much. They go just give him Roy up top. Like the O'Poda O'Lindy is like, it's like, you're going to, that's like parents are like, it's not easy, dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we're about to do you. So we'll give you a nice Roy. I almost thought I should have given him. Oh, Roy. Oh, Roy. Just keep it going. Oh boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm pretty sure that I'm the only person from Kenya who listens to this show. So here's a helpful heads up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crocodiles, leopards, jackals, African wild dogs, just to name a few. John Chris was not paying attention on that safari. Some poor American is going to try to pet a baboon and lose a limp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go to Roy in Kenya and he just, my brother's over in Africa right now. Uh. Well, you shouldn't warn him because of the John Chris episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cute story. That's gotta been made up last night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Cherith Coot's story. Cute story. It sounded like they were discussing Richard Jewell as being a bad example of moral character.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was vindicated, but that got so little media attention compared to the public beating he took for something he didn't do. I don't know. Do we say anything bad about it? I'm a big Richard Duell fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she's absolutely right. Uh, you know, they made that movie. It's just a funny name. Like, uh, yeah. Somebody else went to Atlanta. Yeah, yeah. And it's a different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the joke would be that it's a name that you wouldn't. We're naming big celebrities. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a giant Richard Jewell fan. Giant. Uh, he watched that movie. It's insane.

So I'm a, yeah. Giant Richard drill fan. Uh, yeah. The FBI was like just throwing it on this. I mean, just insane. John lease dusty could be David Cross's younger brother. People always say that. They don't say younger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think y'all have different talking points, but nonetheless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I need to watch those. Those are pretty good, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello folks, I saw Brass Band and North Charleston with my friend. Alright. We had an absolute blast. One of his openers delivered a punchline a little too quickly and the audience didn't react. As we slowly caught on, he started making fun of us and our intelligent, which did make us laugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I thought it felt a little like one of those tricks Nate talks about and kind of amateur. I wanted to know y'all's feelings on putting it back on the audience when a joke bombs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's probably, it's just really what the personality of the comic is. I would never do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, it's very very funny, like it's, you know, it's fun, it's, it's so over the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you don't feel like you're just like fine being the dumb one. Yeah, I mean, it could be something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's, you see stuff like that pop in where you can tell someone has


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like they've messed the joke up once and then they got out of it in such a funny way that then it just ends up becoming, that just stays in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I must say, look, it's, you've created an act. So I'm not, I've created an act.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not a big, I'm a big act person. I go up there and I do my act. And, uh, so I'm fine with creating the act, but yeah, you can tell when it's like, all right, like, you know, it can be over the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stuff happens, and you're gonna have a thing that happened really funny, then you do think, well maybe I'll try to do it everywhere, but, uh, yeaah, sometimes you're like, just do a joke, just fix the joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, yeaah. No, no, I would be. No, hammer it. You know who chooses the comments? Hammer it. The headliner of that show. Uh, and he wanted to put it out there. I'd say hammer it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I mean, it, it, it, it, I would imagine he, it was in the moment of, you know, doing it, but I mean, there might be his act, so I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My wife and I took a week long honeymoon in Mexico and when we returned we started noticing little pictures of Dusty all over our house. Turns out some friends of ours have a tradition of pranking people while they are on their honeymoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's almost like the last joke you're talking about, cause there could be people that do it that way, the tricks, but maybe he's not. So you don't know. If he's not, then there's nothing wrong with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was at a Jerry Seinfeld show in Minneapolis and he was taking questions from the crowd at the end of the show. Someone asked, who is his favorite comedian right now? And he replied, Nate Barghetti. He also said he wished he was still shooting comedians in cars so he could have Nate on. How about that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have been talking to Jerry. So that's big news. You're going to direct this next special. I'm going to direct it on Nate Land. Nate Land business. We have been texting and talking and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little bit more and it's pretty crazy, sent me a very nice, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Message when he watched my last special and it was very overwhelming. And, uh, it's obviously the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, you know, so I mean, it's all I've ever wanted was for that dude to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watch, and then, and we just started talking, and uh, so yeaah, it's, it's very nice that he said that. Uhm, he's gonna, uh, uh, hopefully I'll see him, uh, he might come to Radio City one night, I think, if he can make it. Which, because we,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have not met in person. That is this weekend. We have not met in person, but we've been talking and that's been, uh, yeah, very, very special. That's awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, I've seen it more than anything. Yeah, he'd be my favorite comic. I mean, it's, you know, I mean, I like so many other comments because once you get into comedy, they're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're just like, wow, I can't believe there's so many comedians that are so good. And that's, look, that's the thing that we're trying to do with The Nateland. Like, it's like, that's what went on the, like when I go on the road and there's, uh, you know, I had Gary Veeder and Joe Zimmerman this weekend with me. And it's like, that's what the whole show's about to be. And is you see a couple other comics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make two or three other comics, uh, and they go up and you just, you know, just enjoy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trying to show you some stuff you can enjoy and then you can go watch Joe's special this weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have a good time and, you know, people can get in a stand. I want people to get into stand up comedy. Stand up comedy is taking a big leap right now. And a lot of people do it. I want people to be able to get into it and not be fearful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of it just being, I don't know, too heavy or too, not saying everything's going to be right up your alley. You got to go into it and I can't predict how you're going to like everything, but I can control the, you know, just so it's not too dirty or too, you know, I figured that's being done. And so we can do it this way. And that's what I, and then, you know, be introduced, you know, younger people can get into it too as well. Cause I mean, the other stuff is dirty. I have no problem, you know, people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do whatever you want to do. Most of my best friends are the dirtiest comedians. Uh, the guys I've started with. But, you know, I do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Really? When was that? How long ago was this? It was the early 2000s. T-Pak. Mm-hmm. I saw it too. All right. Mm-hmm. It's cool. Joe goes out, uh, Joe Zimmerman. I like that. I just went through that trying to be not dirty. And then you. Well, not that I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm just joking. I mean, not really. And this is the content that I'm saying. It's, it's like this, but it's just funny that it's like, as I say that, you go, let me tell you this joke about this lady giving a pair of panties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You understand that you understand the dirtiness of the fact of the handing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just like the timing of it. I thought it was funny. Perfect timing. The timing, he goes, oh, I got a great Brian Reagan Seinfeld.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this girl brought her underwear and gave it to Brian. I mean, I just went on a long. I'm gonna tell you what we won't stand for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Philip Lawson, this is super random, but I searched all four of you on Tennessee unclaimed property and Brian's name is the only one that got results. Just thought I'd let him know he might have money to claim. Amazed it wasn't Aaron like the grill Weber. Yeah. So I looked into this. He.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's got a gold necklace on right now and he's got a Rolex and he's just sitting there. We haven't noticed. He goes, Oh yeah, I guess you did come into some money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone listening is done for a podcast. Like, directly for the podcast. Not besides you listening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But straight up, you just gave me, you gave Brian $4,000. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Oh yeaah. First sound exchange you got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I think you did get, I thought you finally did get something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Very nice thing. Yeah. It's all you can say. Uh, but it was very, very, very nice. Uh, Luke Middleton. Hello from Maine. I saw the natives three upcoming shows in Portland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm sure both shows will be great. If you guys were going to see your favorite comedian, you had the choice between the first and the second. Which would you choose to go to and why? Uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that's really up to you. It's, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, my shows, I mean, everybody's just very nice. And so I, they end up being great shows. It's not like you can say, well, the first one I'm going to do this and the second one I'm not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There could be any reasons you could have one. Cause I mean, there's times you're thinking, all right, well, you know, the first one's first and maybe it's earlier and it's going to be, they're not there. The energy is going to be a little bit lower or whatever reason. And then that is the best show. Then the second show can be, well, they're going to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I mean, overall, fortunately we're, when you get into these bigger places.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The shows all end up being the same. I would say if you were going to comedy club a lot of times, it's better to go to the earlier show because the one that can be later can end up being a little drunker and it's also the person you're going to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where the crowd could be a little more rowdy or a little drunk or a little more problems or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't do, I'm a, I do my act. Yeah, by the book. Yeah, by the book. Like 60 minute show. Uh, yes, that's what I do. But I mean, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But usually it doesn't. What do you mean? Well, cause your date is available everywhere. You just got $4,000. Cause anybody could look that up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, there are companies called data brokers that collect huge amounts of your personal identifiable information, name, address, phone number, and social security number. Uh, and the enemy just gets put out everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is crazy. And you can believe me, the go of it is you kind of just, or you kind of wipe you from the internet so not everybody can find all this stuff. There was like, people could find your number, people could find your


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's just so much stuff people can find and so the idea of delete me, which is great is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not saying it's finding everything cause it's the internet, but it is constantly searching to the goal of being where you're just cannot be found. And you know, a lot, I mean, just for outside of like.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Garbage emails are the spam calls and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't get as much anymore because we've been using this, but it's there been, it's just, you know, you just want to get all your stuff off to be like, so you're just not constantly be attacked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By that kind of stuff. Uh, the software and team of experts will not just find or remove your personal information from hundreds of data broker websites, but they keep scanning for new data and get that removed as well. That's the great image. Just keep searching. So if something new pops out, cause you're just constantly people trying to get that stuff super easy to use and it works. We love it.

[Assistant] Well, yeah, and that, yeah, and they, you know, and they could, cause they could just get, they're probably not going to mom and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they're gonna figure it out where they don't do my mom and a son, but they do, uh, aunt and, uh, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's so, man, it's insane. That's insane stuff.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I like that history. Well, he did. They think he Zimmerman like your Zimmer would have been your, your dad's name is Zimmer. Correct. And then he was a man. He was a man. And that's how you got to Joe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ours stands for like the bar, bar keeper. His name comes from that. Like it's, we were the first house at the gate. Yeah, bar gate or something. Bar gate. Like we were the first like trying to kind of be there like, no, you can't come in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they asked us to leave. We're the original gatekeepers, the original gatekeepers of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's like, it was, it was that, like, I think we just were, I don't, it's not come, it doesn't come from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're just the ones that get shot first when the people come in the gate, but we're there to where we live the closest to the gate. And it's like, kind of like, barely in the town. We're barely in the town. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Front lines. And they're fine with just moving those lines back and then now we're, now we're the first outside the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we're always, but we're near that gate. We don't get far from the gate. In or out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, how you get that money? From the king and queen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know you gotta go get it from Spain. Was he in Spain?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I mean, back then you gotta go, how do you even ask Spain for the money? Like you gotta take a four year boat ride.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. English, right? Yeah, it's old money. Yeah. Deep pockets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that's two months. That's two and a half months. Yeah. That's not bad though. It's not crazy, but it's, it's like, you sure you want to do this? Yeah. But I mean, so he goes over there and asks for the money and he's like, I need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they're like, let me think about it. He's like, why does he got to live here till they.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And it just sounds so aggressive, but you don't, I don't know what to say. Like, and they say the States and some say I'm from the States. And so that is a little bit easier, but it was like, I just liked walking around and going there, like, oh, where are you from? America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, we make them do their, but we're the ones that go, you know what's up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's where he went. He looks like a guy that travels a lot, Brian. Uh, that would move that far from his home. Middle Tennessee steak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Columbus, Ohio is very known. I like it a lot. Yeah. Solid city. If, when there's matte people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they would just like kind of be drawing it as, as it goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think when you drive down Florida, it feels like that shake. It does feel like it. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Surveyor survey. Thank you. Yeah. You don't know how to say that word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it. He's just in a boat, just rides along the land and he just goes and holds a straight line. And then he's like, dip, back up. I mean, it's just a slow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet when you're doing it back then, you also know, no one knows. That's true. And so you're just doing a little like, probably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To draw Pac-Man. Yeaah. Then you'd be like, wow, so it's like an island. You go, it's a big island. Turtle Island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay. Well, I usually just do headlines. I think we read enough, Joe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, how would they even, I guess there's like culture, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was born, they don't even know when he was born. Yeah. Roundabout. Roundabout August 25th and October 31st. Imagine they know his day died, but when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, at 54, but when they go to his, well, when were you born? And they're like, I don't know, we'll give you like a month. Like we don't know exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe they didn't do birthdays. I appreciate them being honest. Who? Wikipedia? Yeah. Yeah, that's nice of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, like they were just losing their mind out on the ocean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I could see that. I mean, two and a half months of just, you know, I mean, just a brutal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can see that. Underneath, be here, I'm above water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Diabetes. That diabetes sounds like it's unfortunate you got it. You got like bit by something. Diabetes sounds, you know, yeaah. I worry about that stuff, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you should talk. After I've been with you all week I'm going to talk to somebody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, that's good. No, it is good. It is good to use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like they left New York and then came back to California. Uh, like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not here, I'm saying, but that's, I'm doing, I'm from America, so I'm using my, I'm using American.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you went to go travel the world, you would get a boat from New York and then you would land back in California and you go on a surf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like you live in a real thin country. Yeah. I know he's coming in from the other way. Yeah. I mean, if you lived, if you go, you know, if you were a real dead end, left, right. All right. He's leaving left. And then he comes in right to the same city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, imagine if you're New Zealand and then now it's like everybody's just talking about Zealandia and you're like, all right, dude, we were, we're actually living here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New Zealand, you are out there when you, when you're there, it feels like you're in a different world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An underwater city. Yeah. Instead of going to space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because no matter what, we're scared of our land falling apart, but the water. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but you're not swimming in the water. You'd be in a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. And you just go and walk around. Maybe we have a suit on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I like this build. Uh, yeah, you just build pressurized. How would you eat?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you grow and you build a world down there and then the whole world is underwater eventually. So the way that we started going above water, then we just started heading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they would like to, yeah, you would like adapt to that. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. He, well, yeah, why don't we just throw a trash in space? We've all said that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you could argue, let's just keep doing it in the ocean and then let's move to space. Right. If we're already doing so much in the ocean already. Yeah. And it's like, let's just go to space and we just keep dumping it in the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same thing. Can't breathe. Yeah. Float.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you can totally see that. The second one probably too. I like that you say that. You started it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I haven't gotten through it. I did half and then I was tired. Uh, but it's, yeah, it's fun. It's like a modern day jaws.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, extreme version, you know, we watched Jaws recently and that's like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but another one, like it was, yeah, you just want him to be, he's just super fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's such a good movie. How's Liam Neeson, Brad Fitzgerald? Yeah. How's Liam Neeson? He still does those fighting scenes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can do them. It's pretty crazy. You can do them late. Like even the equalizer threes out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That what needs to be there, there are some good guys, uh, but they need to click like, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Matt Damon, Matt Damon with the born, like he can be, uh, but I just don't know if they want to do it. Uh, when did he start being an action star like that? It was after Batman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I mean, so Taken was the first. Taken was what? So how old was he when he did Taken? He was probably 50.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, 56. So you were wrong, Joe. It's embarrassing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You played a guy that would be in action because you were a serial killer. So yeah, if, if Greg does a spin-off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think, Bates is not one that you're gonna really know he's behind it, but he's behind it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Liam Neeson though. He is there. I mean, he puts all this stuff together. Liam Neeson. Yeah, I'm the talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That one thing went real bad for those guys that went down. Uh, Meg and Meg too, they're searching the bottom of the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of your propaganda channels, so. Yeah, so, so we can believe it. So you can believe it. Yeah. Okay. Great. I'm joking. That would be... Nationality Graphic though, if you were a conspiracy, you'd be like, you know, this is right up your alley. You believe everything they say. I do. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, uh, I really don't want to miss these episodes. And so I, uh, I always do. No, I'm not trying to do this on purpose. So it's just getting crazy. And, uh, obviously as y'all know, and so, uh, thank you for still listening. Glad and excited to be back. I like being back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeah, I got that. I didn't know that they've staying here. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew he burnt the thing down. I don't even know the whole story yet. I know it burnt down because it's like they just send a picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's all out of context. There's no any of that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know. Your dad is a magician though. Yeah, that's true. Well, they're here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they, they watched Harvard for us this weekend, so it worked, you know, it worked out. It worked out. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think this episode's gonna be, I don't, it's probably gonna be a little different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just cause, uh, we're going to talk a lot about, uh, Saturday Night Live and the whole experience with that. It has been, uh, a whirlwind for sure. Uh, Bates was there. Bates got recognized at the after party. All right. Did you take a picture of them? I did. Yeah. All right. Big time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he can't handle, you know. And so I was like, there he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh really? Pushing those New York comics out of the way. Excuse me guys. Two seconds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well, uh, the whole, uh, well, let's just get it, we'll just get into it. Cause I'm gonna see what, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's crazy. It's over. I mean, a lot of people ask like how to like, what do you feel and stuff? I honestly, I feel a lot of this stuff is not happening to me is what I feel. I feel it's happening to someone else. Uh, I think you just kind of do that because I don't know what to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I don't, you don't know what to do. Uh, you know, I'm very much my big thing that I try to remind myself of. I'm not, you know, none of this is about me. It's, uh, so I remind myself of that a lot. Uh, you know, I tell other comics sometimes, you know, it's like, it can't be about you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't make everything, you know, it's gotta be your, uh, just a vessel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And fortunate to be chosen as a vessel. And so I try to remind myself that a lot. So to stay somewhat in the moment and calm and then just be able to deliver the best thing that you can go deliver because you have to work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you have to do a good job. I mean, that's the hard, because everybody's excited about this. It is insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, a lot of people were talking about how they're proud they were. And I mean, that stuff means a lot to me. Like, it's like, that stuff means the world, but you want to make sure you go do the best job that you're supposed to go do and the job that you're hired to go do to hopefully get it go back again and, you know, do it. Uh. So start with, did you have any idea that they were even


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew not till too long ago, uh, one of the Vegas shows, uh, my agents, uh, they brought someone that was kind of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was it. I don't think Lauren actually met Lauren.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A week after that, I went to, and I just went to this stuff, I don't know. If some of this seems like name dropping, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not trying to, but I went to Malaney's birthday party and actually met Lorne at the birthday. John Malaney. John Malaney. And, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I, just really briefly, I don't think he knew me then. I don't think he, you know, maybe would have, but he didn't watch my special for sure. Uh, he was, you know, he was cool, very nice. I mean, there's a lot of SNL people in that room. And, uh, so when he walked in, it was like kind of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Conan was there and Spade and you know, it's fun to see Fred Armisen. Like it's crazy to see the SNL when you're not in that thing, when Lauren walks in and you can just kind of look around and see, you know, everybody's kind of like sits up, you know, I don't know. I mean, and Lauren is awesome. He is awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brilliant. And I mean, in what he's done in doing this live show and, uh, you know, his, his line that he says in there is, uh, you know, you don't go on because the show is ready. You go on because it's 1130. And it's, that's what kind of like it's 1130 BM, you know, show ready. Got to be ready. We're starting right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what's so fun about it. That's why it was the most fun I've ever had doing something. Cause it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love that. The live aspect of it is, it's stand up. I mean, it's, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're just like, well, we got to tape it. It's about to go on. So it is what it is. There's no redo's. No, we need more laughs here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. No do-overs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What stuff gets too like micro, you know, it's the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The authenticity of it, I think is what is attractive to it. Cause it's like, yeah, your show's gotta go. You got an audience here. You're taping it dude. Like you're, it's coming out now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no choice. That's why I think Multicam feels good with sitcoms is cause, you know, it's a live audience. You're performing for a live audience and, uh, you know, you gotta tape it and you gotta do good with the crowd and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's coming out next week and there's not, uh, you know, single cam is, cause when we shot some of the sketches, the single cam is our, uh, you know, it's, it's, you just like the Halloween sketch where,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five minutes. Everybody's doing this skit. Like that's what's fun. And that's multicam sitcoms are fun because of that same reason. My one pilot that everybody knows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you shot that pilot, it was like the scenes are fun because it's like a long scene. Like you have to, you gotta know where to go stand and this and this and it's, you know, it's not five minutes, but it might be three minutes or four minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we watch about Seinfeld all the time. Seinfeld is, you know, they, they got that scene up in the top. It's like Kramer comes in and everybody's sitting there and it's a big scene that's gotta be done all in one shot. And that's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think that's just, it makes it, it's super fun to do, and I think it's fun to, that's why people like watching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They came to Radio City too. After that, so they came to, uh, Vegas and then, uh, after that they came to Radio City and I knew he had watched my special then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Lauren was very nice and he said they watched it and he kept telling my manager, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tim, he, he kept telling him, cause Tim and Lauren have known each other for years and, uh, Tim and, you know, Seth Meyers, they, they, all of that whole, they know every, and my management has a lot of, they have Sandler and Spade and they have a lot of SNL people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so Lauren was very nice saying, oh, we watched the special, we loved it. And I knew, I think I had a lot of people back in my corner that, uh, you know, with Michael Che and Pete Davidson and Mulaney and, uh, Fallon, obviously, and Seth Meyers. And so you had a lot of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they were in my corner just being like, hey, this guy is, you know, a great comic, whatever. Cause I'm, it was a shock. It would be, it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it was a, it was a big chance to, cause whatever I know I'm selling, I know what, where I'm at, where I'm doing arenas and people could think, but it's just such a different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, uh, so it's, you know, I don't know. It's the people that are usually hosting that are, you know, they're in movies and they're the most famous people on the planet or whatever. And so for me to come in and do it, I think was, you know, I thought, all right, this might happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't know for sure. They kind of said that this October 28th date, but then it looked like it wasn't going to be that date.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so it was like, all right. And at first I was like, well, you know, I had so many shows I had to reschedule. So I was kind of like, well, that's not, you know, cause I didn't want to reschedule the shows, but obviously you kind of have to and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then it went from maybe not being the 28th to being like, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My manager's kind of being like, I mean, I don't want to jinx it, but like, there's a chance you're going to be doing yes and no. And then, then I got, uh, during fall break, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got the call and then we announced that reschedule. And so I knew probably two and a half weeks, you know, basically right when I rescheduled the date is basically when I found out as quick as we, you know, within a couple of days of then finding the new dates and blah, all that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then they were like, the 28th was, you know, like, all right, well it's happening. And then so I moved it and then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I was in, okay, I did, uh, I had a great week in, uh, Fort Worth and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Park City, Kansas and, uh, Wichita, uh, where I had the allergic reaction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I talked about Seth Meyers, and then, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would, I mean, cause I was kind of opening with it. So it's like, that's my opening. Cause I'll be doing these, those jokes, I'll be, they're in my new hour. So if you come see me, they, you will see those jokes. Uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that's always a thing, you know, I asked a lot of comments like thinking, do you burn it? Is it burnt? Is it over or whatever? Look, I have a lot more stuff with those jokes. It's kind of a theme kind of thing. So I was able to pick out like a few things. So I think it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's going to be better, but that's in my new hour. And so, I mean, I was opening with it, but when you're doing arenas and doing an hour, it's just so different. It's so different. And then, so when I went to New York, I had a, I did like probably five to seven or I did five one night. I mean, I probably did 12 sets or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just had to get back into a short rhythm. I mean, cause I was just coming off of a full week of arenas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's big and it's, you know, 10,000 people you do in an hour. It's this kind of thing. And then now I got to go do nine minutes or 10 minutes or whatever it was. And so it was good. I went around New York and just kind of, just kind of getting back into that tighter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way you tell, your timing just has got to be a little different because you're doing short sets instead of longer sets. It's just a different thing. I don't really know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I went back and yeah, and then ran around and got to see everybody and do spots. But I mean, you start, you get there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did Oklahoma City and went there Monday. Uh, I got to Oklahoma City late. I got to New York like two in the morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then when it did the today show. Just a few hours later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I think like six. I have a good method, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For when, if I'm gonna get no sleep, and I've done it, I don't know if I've talked about it before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And then you're not as mad. Then you're not as mad. Don't get all the way asleep. I've even, if it's like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two hours, I will sleep in my, I'll just lay in bed in my clothes. I'll take my shoes off, but I'll have my jeans, I'll have whatever I'm wearing to the airport, I'll have all of it on. And I'll just lay in bed like, oh, I'll take a, oh man, I can't believe I have two hours. And then you're excited about the two hours, cause you're like, oh, I got some time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lay down and then I'll get up and go. And so your mentality when you wake up is better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so it's, and then you could be like, and then you also could be like, if, but if you want to go stay up and go watch a movie right now, then go watch a movie. You know, you kind of just go like, oh, you got this free time. So you are, you don't feel as, uh, yeah, not as annoyed by annoyed by it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just kind of go, yeah, I'm just getting enough sleep. So here we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, I don't even know. I mean, you know, it's like your little dreams that you have, but I don't know. It's, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, man, I've been to that building a lot. That's what's crazy to me is, uh, it's 30 rock without even.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no like plan to be in 30 Rock. It's just Conan was there when I did Conan and Fallon, you know, a bunch and Seth Meyers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then now SNL and it's just crazy when you look at it, you're like, I've been coming to this building for 15 years every year, multiple times a year, sometimes. And then now to be here, you're like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just, it's interesting to be like, oh, I guess when you look back, you're like, yeah, you're just on the radar of people that found Seth Meyers, all SNL people, like everybody in that building is an SNL person. Not saying that's why I got it or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gotta, stuff's gotta connect, but it, I, I did like that. I like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I like doing stuff where you see people and you're like, yeah, I've seen that, you know, the people working there and all that. Yeah. It's pretty, pretty insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I had off until, uh, so I went back and slept like that good sleep you do after morning radio. Yeaah. Oh yeaah. Uh, I ate french toast. That's a tart, that's, I mean, I have a hard time not eating


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so I went back and slept a little bit and then, uh, we went to, uh, SNL and, you know, I mean, you're going, they called me Sunday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They called me Sunday about a sketch idea, like to sketch me throwing stuff, the first promo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then so, they called me Sunday and then Monday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go there at five and you're there till, I was there till eight. It wasn't that long, seven thirty, eight. It's kind of quick. They do a really great job of easing you into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it starts with, oh, this is not bad, you know, and then you eventually get to just, you're there all day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but Monday was just a meeting with everybody? Monday was, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, I go in, then I go in and sit with, uh, you know, the writer's just saying anything that, you know, I don't want to do or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We told them beforehand that I didn't really want to do political stuff or sexual stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and obviously I'm not going to say some, you know, so they, they definitely knew that kind of stuff. And then they kind of go, uh, I think it was Monday you set with, I think all the writers came in and they go around and kind of throw some ideas out and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it was Monday, it might have been Tuesday. Uh, but you just kind of go, okay, you're just hearing just, you know, the brief idea of the ideas of sketches. And I felt very relieved because they, none of them were political. And I don't really think any of them were sexual really, maybe a couple, but it was, you know, you're hearing 50 ideas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was nice. That made me comfortable to go like, all right, I'm not gonna spend a week of, you know, having to be like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to say that. I don't like, you know, so I, they, they definitely got what I do. Is the cast in there pitching ideas too? Yeah. Cast and writers and everybody's in there and, uh, they just go around and I mean, it's just like, you just get it all and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, no, I looked at your, I pitched, I had one idea that I pitched that they liked and they wrote and I felt bad after, but it was because I, uh, I got a, it's an iPhone with no case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Freedom of not having a case, it annoys people and they think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Well, I shot a pilot once. Yeah. Well, I didn't see it. I didn't get to see the pilot. Uh, it was, I wonder if I, I have a clip of, I wonder if one day I could show it. You're not allowed to. Uh, if, uh, no, it was, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like acting? Yeah, I mean, that was a big part. It's like, I mean, I don't think they care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean they, you know, it's like the crutch of the show. The week before they had Bad Bunny. Bad Bunny is, uh, does not speak English.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's the pop-ins and the cameos and because, you know, he just, I mean, it's, he didn't speak English, you know, so it's like, it's just harder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess. Uh, yeah, I think it's a younger age, but yeah, they, they probably want their fans and I'm sure they could say we want our fans to. Yeah, I guess that's true. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. Different vibe than I got. Different vibe, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people on the floor, they're moving around, you know, everywhere. Yeaah. I'm trying not to get too far ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, yeah, Tuesday you got there. I mean, you don't go in till, uh, about noon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, so Tuesday was kind of a normal, was a normal thing. Noon, uh, maybe I was there till, I don't remember, 10. You should, that's when we shot the promo where I was tearing stuff up and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was great. Yeah, the guitar. That was nice because it was like, we kind of shot that, yeah, we did shoot that Tuesday. And so that was like nice to kind of get something over with because it was like, you know, all right, I have to act in this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and so he was like, all right, that was, that was good. We got that done. And then it goes out. I mean, you know, then it goes out the next day and or whatever. And you're like, man, it's great. You just shoot it. Then it's out. And then it was, you know, cause then you're like, all right, everybody's seen something. Everybody seemed like they liked that. You know, it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I feel, I could feel a lot of people worried or, you know, that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did not. I held up. I went like this. Okay. Alright. Yeaah. I thought it was thumbs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, they, they did something about once flicking the camera off and I would go, and I, I mean, you know, you just do it. You just say it. I go, I don't, I don't want to do that. It was funny. I mean, even being 44, you just didn't start coming this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So many people. You're not flicking the camera off. I'm not going to do that. Yeah. And then they go, all right. I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They made it, but it's like, yeah, I just, I just did that. And I wasn't, I didn't know they were even going to do that thing, but they would, but it was, but it was for the joke. I understand. But I just don't like doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, but that was great. And, uh, yeah, so we shot that Tuesday and then Wednesday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do a table read through. So that's when everybody, you read every, you read every one of them so that it's a big table. You go in, you're sitting where, you know, on the floor, stages behind you, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody's in there, everybody that's, these guys have been writing all night on this sketch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I mean, everybody's, I mean, obviously Lauren is going to be the final say, but everybody kind of say, I have a lot of say. So if I like something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, cause people say that to me a lot when they give me advice about it. They go, you have more say than you think you do. Cause you think you're like, I don't know, I'll do whatever you tell me to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you do have a lot of say. Uh, but that being said, I'm not trying to be these guys, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you go do something, you're like, y'all have done this for 50 years. I'm not going to, you know, act like I know something better than.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know what I am comfortable with. I can just tell you that or I, you know, and I could say I do like this, maybe a little bit more than that, but it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you're, you're, you're, you know, it's like, you kind of say it all, everybody's just sitting around. You're, you got like a, it's like this, you got a table, you got a little microphone and like a press conference microphone kind of, and, uh, you each go through it and Lauren reads the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as you're reading it, he'll, you know, read it over and be like, Nate crosses over and sits down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you read your line and so they just go through the, they split it up to two halves. The one, you know, would be probably the front half of the show, the second half of the show. And, uh, so you do 40, 50. What are you doing them all?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it was, yeah, Wednesday is, cause Tuesday night, I think Monday's kind of like, here's the rough ideas. Tuesday is kind of like, Monday's just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't even matter. Like there, you could blurt out, be like, uh, it's like a cat that, uh, has trouble working a fax machine. And everybody goes, oh, okay, that's funny. You know, and it doesn't matter. You might not, I mean, they're, they're telling you some of the ideas that do it, but I'm sure they know how to pitch where you go. You maybe don't want to give your.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's like when you're pitching that, I don't know, you don't want to say something that someone's like, no, that's dumb. And then you, you're like, well, no, I know how to make it funny, but maybe it didn't sound funny in the room. So then Tuesday, I went around and meet with all the writers kind of individually and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they, they kind of just tell you the idea that they have for this, you know, it's like this and that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do this sketch, I go, yeah, it's great, great. And they really were, they were all like great. It was all like, yeah, yeah, great, perfect, fun. It was all dumb and fun and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's, I think that was the vibe they got when I was coming on was just kind of like, hey, you know, they, they really were like, you know, it's not going to do politics. You know, the cold open is political. That's always usually political. And then, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then they knew I was going to be just this, you know, just like fun. And that's the stuff they want to, I think they like writing. Is that, you know, those stupid sketches that are just, you know, funny and silly and, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. So that's, so I was, so I shot Tuesday. So when I shot that, uh, promo of me breaking the guitar and all that, I mean, I am on, I go from shooting that they're in the same hallway. So if, uh, like you could, like they use Seth Meyers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Green room, I believe they use this food fighters green room for Saturday. That's how close it, it's in, it's in the same hallway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm, I'm, I break that guitar, then immediately go put on clothes and then I'm on Seth Meyers. I would say within five minutes. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is kind of crazy. Like it's just, you know, the way Steve Higgins, uh, who's with Fallon, but he's been with SNL forever and he's so funny and his son, uh, John Higgins is, they do that. Please don't destroy it.

It's like you, here's the group of sketches we picked and now we're doing this group, which will be whittled down to a little bit more. And so it's, we did that. And then, you know, that Lake beach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Song that everybody likes. Cause at first I told them I didn't want to sing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I was like, I just feel uncor- I was like, I don't sing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, so they did that like big song and it was very good. And then when I saw James Austin Johnson, who's local in Nashville, my dad, my, our dads went to, uh, Treveca together, which is crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, I watched them sing it during the dress rehearsal and then I was like, I was like, Oh, I could, I could sing it. I was like, Oh, it's not as, you know, it's like, you just need to see some stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, I mean, you really are there, like, I don't know, you know, like, you wanna sing? You're like, I don't wanna sing. Yeah.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very cold. The water was very cold. And, uh, it's like 8.30 in the morning, you know. And you just have to be going. But that one and another one was like, I'll just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just commit to it. Like just, you just kind of right before I went, I was like, all right, I'm going to just, I'll be dumb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and that's the point of it. And you just kind of go do it. But it, you know, when they're at first, cause I don't think that would have made it if I didn't, if I didn't say I was going to sing in it, I don't think they would have done it because it had been weird to play that song and then be like, well, why would I not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One person there, if you worked there 15 years, it's like you're brand new. It's like they're a rookie in a sense and you've been there 15 years. It's that kind of loyalty they have to that show that he shows to them and they show to him. I mean, there's, there's a good, the lighting guy that worked there until he was like 95 or something and they just, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they just, they just do it for ever. And you work there for 30, I mean, most every, so many people are like 30 years they've been there, 40 years. Like it's, it's, it's very cool. And it's, and that's the vibe you feel and you feel, but you get very, feel like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, swept up in, you know, like a family, like you get really invited. Uh, so we just did the blocking on Thursday, got done like 9.45 and then, uh,
