[Applause] what's up everybody welcome to flagrant two we are sitting here uh today with louis j gomez's son's godfather yes your most proud credit i am lewis hates me for it uh because he doesn't think i'm good i'm doing good enough as a god parent but i think i'm stepping up he doesn't his parents are uh gone they're dead yeah and so like i am in line for this dude like there's uh you know what i mean like in if usually like when you're when you're a godparent this is a big job usually it's like you know you might be a godfather to like a few kids like it's just kind of a gesture and you're like i don't know it gives you something you don't you know if you are not married or have families we're trying to it's like having a dog we're like how you can tell people this yeah uh it's a gesture it's like obviously the kid's never going to you right like we're never right if something truly happened we're still going somewhere else but you know with louis it's uh i'm there baby it's there's no one else so you'll take his kid we're here with nate bargatsi by the way the very first huge star yeah massive star the greatest normal it was at the greatest average america someone who told me that they get what is your title the most average i'm like that sounds such worse yeah it's you know what are you the most average comedian something like that yeah yeah basically huge netflix specials amazing we go way back uh like this is you were at what like one generation ahead of me yeah in new york yeah that was your crew you you bro big j or big j was he was already there he was probably a year above me jack metzger was like a year above me right right right yeah that's we always talk about new york uh you know like you were you in norman yeah i think like norman was i guess around my time but we didn't we didn't i don't know cross paths as much like we were over by like the village lantern right right yeah so we were just kind of like right yeah the lantern was i was there too oh yeah it was uh uh yeah i always talk about that because i think people sometimes we gotta tell one stop you gotta tell one story you'll preface i just want to say one thing you are one of my favorite comics periods so funny we always bring you up when it comes to like people who are clean but you don't even know yes yeah that's the whole goal the whole you don't even know you're just laughing at this person they're funny you don't realize they're clean one of the goat clean comics ever i think there you go all right there you go i know we're building you up we're building you up for a reason nobody and this is a compliment i mean it but nobody bombs better than you it's a [ __ ] joy to watch if you're not or you feel like you're not doing well even just the lines that you'll have the [ __ ] that you'll say is like [ __ ] genius to me so there was moments of the village like we would all eat our [ __ ] dicks oh yeah it could be a very rough very well yeah but it could be a great room yeah and i remember you telling me that you had a set once at the lantern and you described it like this you kept looking behind you to see if there was somebody else doing comedy do you remember this i think so i do remember some a bunch of stories from there uh because the bathroom is behind you the bathroom was behind you yeah yeah yeah yeah and then people would walk on stage oh yeah they would walk behind you on stage which is the conference as an audience member that the little respect that was shown there's a banquette on that side you're on stage and some people just walk on stage and then walk behind you go to the bathroom okay i mean yeah the audacity and i remember one other time i had uh because so when we do these shows you're barking so we're out front being like hey we got a great conference we're trying to get people into beginning people to come so we get three people in there yeah someone's got to go up because we got to keep those three yeah so we can hopefully get four and then have seven and we get seven i mean it's like we're gonna probably tape you know we're gonna we're gonna report that show so this is the best show of her life uh so i remember one time we're on stage i'm on stage and this these two couples are sitting there front row and then these two girls just come on stage and take a picture with me not because they i'm anybody but just being like oh we're at this camera and didn't ask just stood up during the joke yeah yeah i mean i don't even know if they thought the show started like they it was like it was i was a wax museum like i was a wax you know they just stood up and stood next to me and they smiled and they took a picture and they're like oh and then they sit back down and didn't even i mean there was no like hey man thank you do you mind if we do this or appreciate it or none of that yeah it was like they just did it yeah and you're like okay and you just gotta let it happen because you're like who am i you know i don't you know yeah we're nobody but yeah absolutely nobody but a great you know room to kind of break your break your spirit but also give you some confidence that's what was so great about new york so people always because i was you know i'm a new york comic and that's where i learned i was there for eight and some years yeah but you go up and you're in front of uh three people and four people and seven people and that's just what and like doing that and then uh that just makes you you just get so much better and you do it i mean multiple times a night yeah you know like not like not like it's like once you're in for a few years six people is like you're average you could do three shows for a combined total of nine people oh easily easily easily yeah that was like a regular and we and we wanted to go up yeah yeah yeah i think i got so much better at crowd work because you can't just do your bits for four people it's so [ __ ] weird yeah so you'd have to like talk to them and try to find a way to weave your bit in there and that's the thing i think you could just it ended up you could see much more natural doing it yeah you had a weird trajectory though man because like most people come to new york to make it yeah and you came to new york got really good at stand-up and then you moved to tennessee yeah and then you [ __ ] exploded yeah well i moved to la for two years then moved back tennessee you know what you were trying to like do you were like you had a sitcom well i mean i've done that i mean for like 10 years i've sold a show every year and uh we've only shot one pilot really but it's like it just is what it is it's like i what the wonderful thing about it is you can try it and then you got your stand up that's why i love stand up so much where you can really go do these kind of things and i mean the first you really want to do them but now the longer i get you're like yo i don't need this show like yeah uh stand-up is kind of becoming is a much bigger thing than it ever was yeah and so you can kind of just you're like yeah i got my thing going my world going i mean that's you kind of you got your world growing here yeah like you start seeing people's where you go like oh i'll just you know in a weird way it's like what sandler did adam sandler's got his world but yeah he did it with like in the movie thing but it was like it's his movie yeah you know you're going because his movie and he makes a bunch of movies and so it's like everybody you just build your world yeah and then everybody's like well i like that guy's so then i'm on board with all of his that's he's like my inspiration a lot of ways yeah like the way he models like because he puts all of his guys that he writes the movie with in the movie as well yeah so it's the same characters yeah they're just kind of playing like different versions of the characters that we already saw and we love so you don't have to really re-establish yeah like when i see adam sandler in a movie i'm like i know who he is more or less yeah you know so you don't need to explain the backstory it's [ __ ] adam sandler yeah right and um but yeah they just did such a such a [ __ ] great job with it but i i don't know you had this like crazy rise it was it was so weird well the special started uh so i shot did that comment sister special then i did that and then they started netflix i did a half hour and now you know i moved the big quote i was like uh it's one of my favorite quotes jerry this i read this book jerry wintrough and he was like uh he like produced like oceans 11 13 like he ended up being a big hollywood guy yeah and uh he was in new york and he was working like he was an agent like in i mean this is like the 50s or something in the 60s yeah and uh he said in the book he just said he moved because he knew anytime he was anytime he started feeling comfortable it was time to make a change and so i mean i read that book and i moved i read that and i was in three months we moved to l.a because i knew it made so much hit hard so you know it was like i was very comfortable in new york at that time that point i'm passed at every club yeah i'm not really having to like chase these spots like i used to and so i was like i'm very comfortable and i knew if i stay here i'm gonna remain this comfortable and i'm not gonna put myself into a different comedy scene where i have to feel like i have to prove myself again yeah and so then i moved la and then it was like i was in la and then you're like now you're around all these people that you know i don't know that all that scene out there yeah and so you're like oh now i've got a i've got to go murder in front of these like it just makes you kind of like you guys you gotta get hungry yeah yeah because it's very easy you get very you know but your thing was interesting because like i always i had this feeling right i would always tell like these people and i would sit down these meetings and execs especially when i saw your rise and i was like dude if netflix was smart i actually told netflix this i was like you shouldn't do anything with me you should do you should do stuff with people like nate because i bet you the majority of your subscribers like nate yeah you know like like there's a lot of people in new york and la and we like they set the tone for what is [ __ ] cool or whatever that [ __ ] is but there's a lot of people in the middle of the country a lot more a lot more people that are gonna [ __ ] watch this guy and seeing you explode was super validating but and then seeing you like get it again and then people really find you and then it's weirdly seeing like my friends on the east coast in west coast fondue i thought was really cool yeah cause i was wondering if you were gonna cross back yeah like you learned how to kill in new york then you kind of explode in the middle and people like finally we have our guy this is great it's really nice and not somebody that like is curated or like manufactured to satisfy us yeah you know like that's what la will do a lot like let's turn one of these guys from california into a good old country boy yeah dude every show is that like when we pitch these shows you know because they have like a show where it's like that one show was like these california people moved to nebraska yeah well they just go make fun of people in nebraska yeah yeah yeah and they're like you're like who are you dude how do you think you do yeah i that's what makes me that's my issue with [ __ ] oliver and my issue with like trevor noah it's like alabama's a punch line and it's like you just got here yeah the [ __ ] do you know yeah like i don't understand where you get off like even making fun of like conservatives or democrats i don't even care like what like okay you come here you choose a side because it kind of identifies with you a little bit more but like you actually really have never hung out with conservatives if you moved here from england yeah and you move directly to new york you don't know any conservatives yeah and if you do you know new york conservatives yeah which are not conservatives no no no no right so it's like the idea that they could go and talk about like how greedy conservatives are and it's like you moved here for one reason yeah so you can make money yeah you didn't come here to make less money than you did in london or south africa right yeah like you came here to make money and this is the new punching bag yeah but don't act like you're [ __ ] better than that oh they're the they they i was just in la from here and it was like yes i don't know i met someone and they're like uh i said i'm you know they're like where do you live i go nashville and they're like oh so you're like an anti-vaxxer like and they're kind of joking but they're not and you go yeah yeah you don't want to see what the problem is you just do you know how crazy that is yeah yeah hey you're just going you don't know me at all you're just going because i said i'm from yeah yeah tennessee yeah yeah and you immediately say like i'm gonna now that being said no the north but that being said real quick like you are in it dude don't be bringing your dumb vaccines all over my arms where are these vaccines coming from dude i don't know who this guy is someone said they were walking around uh walmart and like they were trying to get because they said i'm sure they read this somewhere who knows if this is even true but they go they're walking around walmart in like uh the south and just being like hey we'll give you your vaccine you can do it right now yeah and then people are like saying no to it you're like yeah man dude if i was shopping at walmart and a guy walked up with a needle and was like hey man do you mind if we just do this i'd be like no yeah like you're just out of there's no contact i'm not in a doctor's office you're just some random guy named pedro i'm buying flip-flops and then you're like i need my glasses from walmart i'd be passing that section like who the [ __ ] is getting glasses yeah so so are you vaxxed or not all right guys we're gonna

it so i have a weird oh boy let's go they were right they're 100 right about you no i don't know if i would want here's i always have a weird thing i don't know if i want to say it because i don't like i don't like when people show pictures of them getting vaccinated yeah yeah so i don't ever be an influence on anybody getting one or not getting one yeah i'm not saying i did one way or the other yeah i'm not even saying i wouldn't ever tell you but it's like why do you need to know if i like that's not i just want to know if that guy was racist and right uh or stereotypical and right yeah so it's like uh well then it's the opposite of everything i just said yeah what a piece of [ __ ] to just judge me based on how i talk and how i look i don't want to tell them yeah i mean you just told everybody if what i mean i think we know no you don't because i also the way that you walked in here i know and i know which one it is see you're doing this you can't get that you can't get that new york out of it it's pfizer bro oh you know you're a pfizer dude you're a [ __ ] fizer dude are you sure that's pretty good i guess i've had uh i have i've had one oh you've just gone i've only done one you're just going half in well wait are you really fizer did i get that right yeah yeah yeah oh amazing uh i only did yeah because i left and so i couldn't do the second one uh so the plan is to do the second when i get back i'll be honest with you though that first one that you do you want to be like that's good right like we're good yeah i think you're good like the second one everybody's like dude i get so sick every second when you're like why are we how many do we got to do it's like you do wonder that you're like can i do but yeah mark's an anti-vaxxer he's not doing it that's not true you are the most anti-vaxxer compared to no no no no no yes he is he is anti-vaxx bro also he's forging documents he said he was going to forge the documents using mine i i'm going to give him yeah i'm just reluctant and i'm going to get it when it's inconvenient right right the only reason i got is because my girl signed me up we came down here with antibodies and we were like [ __ ] it let's go yeah like everybody here got corona yeah and we're like that's that's the vaccine that's the vaccine yeah you get it and then that's yeah but do you feel like you can't like say these things you feel like it will piss off your audience no no no not make them mad i don't uh the audacity of like when people like either have whatever platform makes me furious someone says they have a platform dude maitland is a platform dude it's exciting but i know but i don't use it for a platform i usually should dude i've watched you talk about teddy roosevelt and and you know just talking about nothing dude we're just making dumb jokes it's it's but i'm saying i don't want to be a platformer cropping up these conservative presidents bro i think everybody would i don't know anything about history they're uh but it's the idea of when everybody says they like they're you know it's like you got a platform you got to use it you're like how about you don't have to use it yeah i don't have to use my platform i didn't go to college dude i barely met at high school you don't need anything for me i don't know what i'm doing like i don't you should never listen to me right and these celebrities like when they think they have to surprise me furiously tell someone you're in who don't get me started you know how hard it is you're an anti-platformer i'm an anti-platformer yeah yeah that's exactly yeah that's what the podcast was started we talk about we're just trying to be funny that's great and it's like super funny it's in my stand up and we love weber by the way huh weber oh aaron yeah he's great he opened for us in uh nashville oh yeah yeah yeah and he's just super funny it's who's the other guy brian bates he came out with me for a lot and everybody calls them like uh some reason that listeners started calling them names they call them like bacon bits and breakfast and correct they won't combos what did i say he has a spokesperson in it yeah yeah yeah he could he could definitely be a spokesperson yeah yeah for breakfast for breakfast the meal the general the general member i mean that's like yeah you know that was teddy roosevelt was the teddy bear is named after him which we talked about which how crazy is that that's all you know a teddy bear is there's not like i don't even know the name before that right and so they made the teddy bear and that's in honor of him but he wasn't even like cuddling that [ __ ] he was a badass [ __ ] you know what i mean yeah i mean i wasn't there it wasn't my decision right but you know act like i was a part of this choice like i got to defend it information though it is they that's what they did in honor of him right but i'm saying it's uh teddy bear is like that's how you describe that thing yeah yeah like that's about the highest honor you could get to have a stuffed you know any store yeah you don't you know any store and you got like a you have any teddy bears yeah and it's not a specific thing it's in general yeah yeah pretty nice yeah yeah yeah yeah now you said you don't know anything about anything no what do you know the most about a lot of things okay and uh oh i don't know i don't know sports sports fan yeah i'm a big sports fan like uh that kind of thing you were getting into those like like celebrity golf tournaments yeah early yeah i'm trying yeah i'm getting in a little bit more now now but now it makes sense yeah but i think it was like you were in early and i was like oh [ __ ] like who is that guy that's when i thought that you really had it popping you were like doing this like you were golfing with like famous people yeah and i was like oh [ __ ] is nate blowing the [ __ ] up yeah yeah it started when you're uh when you when you're the celebrity in a group at the beginning you're you're a big disappointment to that group you play with like they come up dude and they're like what's up who we got yeah we got jimmy johnson yeah yeah yeah they hand you the club does that really happen uh you gotta you gotta go put on a show like you're like they're like what do you do i'm like i'm a comedian and you got to bring you got to be [ __ ] funny bro you got to be so in your but you wanted them you're like well i don't know why y'all pay a little more money and you get up a little like this you pay for it you don't need to go to this [ __ ] charity that you'd be doing with papa john's yeah instead you got this you got me yeah uh so yeah at the beginning you are like it's embarrassing like you've got to go in was it at all like uh i don't even know what the word that i'm looking for right now but like you know how we coastal elites like new yorkers and i'm guilty of this like we think everything's the [ __ ] best this that the other and then the second corona the pandemic happened all these like liberal states shut the [ __ ] down the conservative states stay open everybody's partying and then immediately all these like liberals that got a little bit of money fled ourselves included right was it a little bit like nice to see or was there part of you like oh now you want us like we're funny we're a joke before yeah but now when you want to go out for a slice of pizza yeah yeah you want yeah yeah it was i mean nashville we have so many people moving there from california yeah yeah and uh i mean they're coming it's a it's insane there's a problem 100 people a day moved to nashville and then it's a lot of people from california the wonderful thing is i think though maybe some of the a lot of them going to austin yes and so like that's better that's better in austin well i think you go yeah you they our goal in nashville is you like the ones we don't want go to all sorts and then the other ones come to come i heard they just made um jews illegal in nashville yeah oh then we gotta move there yeah yeah yeah yeah is that true uh i don't know i mean i didn't see it in the paper it was in the newspaper it wasn't yeah no yeah i don't we you know i never met a jewish person that was a stereotype we moved to new york uh but it's funny that was always a stereotype where they said southern people hate jews and you're like i've never grew up in texas i didn't know what i knew jews existed but i didn't know that i didn't know that that was like it's like a well because white supremacy but like they hate and you're like i don't know dude you're like i didn't i'm just not around any jewish people like i don't yeah i was funny i thought there just were none there coastal easter hockey is from texas yeah and they treat white southerners the way they think you treat black people like they look at you and they're like look at this [ __ ] uneducated ignorant lazy blah blah blah and that's how they think you treat black people you know it's funny i don't mind doing it but like if people from outside of america do it i'm like yo slow down yeah those are our guys to make fun exactly it's like you can make fun of your little brother but nobody else can make fun of your brother but i wonder yeah i don't know you guys don't have that relationship with us you guys just kind of like hate us up north huh we uh it's tough because you know when i lived there so like giannis right we embraced you bro yeah i know we loved you i know well i like dude i love new york and all my friends are from new york and uh but when like giannis was a perfect example so when janice when me and giannis moved there janis would always tell me i have no culture right and i was like dude you've never lived three blocks from your mom like i was in new york like i moved i've changed my whole world yeah and like just because you're like you know you got a guy from nigeria and then the jewish people and whatever and everybody from all these you think like you get the world yeah yeah they live near you yeah yeah and then i i had an old joke about it uh where i said the melting pot thing where it's like new york's is a big melting pot but just a bunch of pots don't live next to their own kinds of pots i mean yeah you're not mixed in at all dude you have a chinatown that you're like don't come under this area little italy and you're like you're like i don't y'all hate each other like i don't understand yeah so that's what so moving to new york was yeah it's a melting pot until like another ethnic group encroaches on your neighborhood yeah and then it's a big problem yeah yeah yeah then we're not really a stew at all yeah yeah yeah yeah that's the italians in brooklyn yeah how much of a stew there yeah yeah it's all the it's the same it's a big issue it's all the same dude yeah yeah so yeah so no i we you know new york is uh yeah i don't know it's like you would feel that though it's like everybody just thinks you're like what are you like some everybody pre-judges you i remember a guy saying it once where they were like uh it was like this gay dude he was like oh he goes you know nate's from the south or something they're like oh he's like a republican that hates gays and stuff and you're like you're doing what you think i do to you and i don't yeah and you're doing it to me and that's what's so crazy and then they tell you that to your face like that person that said i was an anti-vaxxer there's some seriousness to what she's what she said yes you said that and you want to go i'm not i didn't walk in here and think you're one thing yeah i'm meeting you and just enjoying talking to you yeah but you immediately say that and you say it to my face yeah and like don't even care yeah that's crazy where you're like you're like and then you're like why do you hate us you're like i don't know maybe that maybe every you think i'm stupid if i get an audition for uh they send you a movie audition are you a southern guy and you're like you got to be i mean you're just the most i remember you getting movie auditions and they're being like you're gonna have to yell the n word you're like why would i do that and they're like that's cause what y'all do like you think that's what we do dude and they think that is a you're in just a movie and that's the best part you think i can be is just this guy yeah you're like i get and you just don't do them what was the movie dude you in 12 years of slave would be hysterical yeah that is what y'all did what i'm 12 years slave it would be accurate that'd be yeah there'd be a lot of yelling yeah a lot of edward yelling yeah yeah but i mean i you know i grew up in i was born in 79 so i don't know yeah one word stopping seven we weren't doing it they weren't it wasn't happening i mean they talk about that a lot with like they think like you know white supremacy like dude i wasn't i've been in the south my whole life i've never met a clan member yeah i've never been around one like i don't know yeah you know i'm not saying that they don't exist you got to say that all the time but like i don't i'm they're not around me it's not like i'm just in the car with them not as prevalent as people make it out to be i never they make it like they're just i mean like they're yeah like they're running the town yeah you're like i don't know dude we just grew up in like we just grew up like everybody else grew up and why do you think that is you think it's just like movies and [ __ ] oh yeah i think so i think so i mean when you were growing up watching tv and movies was it annoying were like why does everybody talk like me stupid uh or you don't even realize it until you i don't know when i realized it i didn't realize that until i moved to chicago like it was because you know when you're in nashville you're just around your you know everybody went to church yeah everybody went to like it was uh airborne was just there was you know like if you were a christian growing up i mean everybody was i mean you went to church like you would ask people where they go to church over like where they go to high school like that's a very yeah you're like what church you go to then they would just tell you like oh yeah i know someone i have a buddy that goes to that church like it was just everybody went to church and uh and then you moved to chicago when i moved to chicago i remember someone they were angry that uh like i grew up going to church and i was like okay and because then they but they think christians like southern baptists they think oh this is crazy think you're like dude it's just a regular church like we weren't but to their head they're you are holding snakes you're like doing all this kind of stuff and you're like we're not doing any of this stuff like i don't and you gotta defend it and they're like no that's what y'all do i mean they are people are so judgmental yeah and they judge so hard yeah and you know stuff bad stuff exists but you're like i don't you know there's a lot of regular people that are just minding their own business all right guys we're gonna take a break for a second because uh some of y'all losing your hair and that is a [ __ ] choice i need to make the choice right now just stop it i mean that sincerely most of y'all know that i thought that i was getting a little baldito back in the day we're talking about a decade ago and i immediately got on it and stopped it and that's what you can do right now it's hard to reverse but you can stop it in its tracks and that's all you need to do if you think that you're starting to thin out just a little bit get ahead of it bro i'm telling you it's that simple ladies if you feel like your man is losing his hair

came to new york and la well probably not as much la right because you've already experienced but like new york specifically what were you shocked by were you expecting it to be way different and then it just wasn't uh i mean it was overwhelming i remember i'm trying to think of what specifically i remember coming out of the subway once and being just very confused and like you're just it's very very overwhelming it's so many people yeah uh i guess like everybody you know i didn't think they were as mean as everybody said they were yeah i thought new york wasn't like that yeah like uh you always hear that everybody's just super rude there and you're like then once you're there i represent that yeah nice people i think it's the people very nice move to new york that feel like they have to live up to the stereotype of a movie they start acting mean towards one another but like actual new yorkers are usually pretty helpful yeah there's just an impatience like you have to get where the [ __ ] they need to get and if you're in the way of that you're a problem yeah but you know walking slow you're a problem yeah yeah but you know it's not going to be like it's not going to be a long drawn thing like you're not going to fight about it like right they they yell at you and then they forget about you and like so it's like you kind of learned to not take things personal yeah and then uh because you're like it's yeah it's like dude they want to just go and you're like oh yeah sorry man and then they just roll by you when when you were like um because you probably came in new york and you were at the tail end of like the seller's heyday right like the old guard at the cellar you know patrice that was 04 but when you actually started hanging around those guys yeah like did you befriend like were you close with patrice at all yeah yeah i used to sit in his car at boston comedy club and so he went while he was on stage yeah because you couldn't park you know right in front of boston yeah and so i would go it was in the car village when i was yeah yeah it flipped over okay so you were there when i was still the boston yeah i barked there i was that was my first marketing thing in the ark too okay okay so patrice was he ruthless to you uh he was so the the i've talked about it but like he liked i learned quick to kind of just whatever he would think we i am i would just go with it so like he would be like y'all not believe in dinosaurs no i'll be like yeah i don't yeah like i would just say whatever he wanted you know i've never thought about that ever my life like i've learned about dinosaurs like but the fact that he thinks we didn't i learned i was like well i'm yeah i was like no we don't believe in dinosaurs i would just go with it right and uh so he was like very nice i mean we would go to his house for uh fourth of july the bar would come out and like my wife would go over there and then uh he was very nice to my wife and he uh because she would always like i don't know like help clean up after something he like loved that yeah yeah and so i i uh patrice was always very very cool i met him i mean until the last day i would every time i talked to him i was like hey nate i'm friends with big j i would say that and like at the end he'd be like he's like yeah dude i know who you are you know but you're like i don't know you know he was uh he was the best uh uh ever saw but i was at their fame he was at uh burr and his hbo one night stand taping you were you were i was there holy [ __ ] and so okay let me just set this up to everybody listening there is like an unbelievable bit that if you don't watch the whole thing i don't think it resonates the same way the whole thing with the [ __ ] bean mm-hmm it's like what would you do if you got in a horrible car accident where you lost your [ __ ] yeah you know that bit yeah if you just see that within like the clip online it doesn't get the full effect because there's like 20 minutes of build up where the audience is kind of fighting back and forth and they're laughing but the same time some of the women the artists are giving them some pushback and they're looking at him like he's this sexist and you're objectifying us and all that when he dropped that thank you also for the record used to do half-hour comedy specials and apparently they filmed bur and patrice the same night yeah so what so they did what was the reaction and have you heard that bit before or i don't think not i don't know if i even like remember i won't remember that specifically oh okay uh but then i remember them warming up to it like or running their set right yeah and uh it was they running at the boston uh i remember one night i recorded i timed patrice's set because it was like they had to do a half hour yeah yeah and so when he got done i was like hey you did like 36 minutes and i remember him being like all right and then walked away from me and this is like because he did it as a favor he didn't ask no he didn't ask no no not at all dude like he this was like young comic you know trying to do it i think i'm supposed to do like i think at that time well that you have it's called a half hour so you have to do 30 exactly i have no concept of editing or like you know maybe gotta do 29 minutes maybe 38 minutes like whatever the concept it doesn't really matter and i just and i'm like so i tell him like thinking i'm helping him he's you know i think he was like all right man like he it did not matter at all and so the funny thing with so i went i went to one taping so the first tape they did two tapings the first day being burr went first patrice was second the second attainment they would have flipped yeah so i was at the bird first patrice yeah so what i remember the most about it was that was burr's coming out and so when burr went up i mean dude i remember in that audience this is when he's doing the horrible it's hard to breathe uh how are you going harlem yeah oh yeah yeah yeah he's like you get like a white guy gets up there 120 straight like huh you guys have to breathe up here like that so the shoes joke the dirty sneakers yeah something like that yeah i remember murdering so hard and i remember the audience uh it was just they didn't know what they just saw like he was so good that you could tell that they were like yeah who was that again like you know because burt wasn't known like he was he was like people in comedy knew him but he wasn't he wasn't you know i went to caroline to watch him and they closed the curtain at caroline like he wasn't selling out and they just he dude he murdered so hard and then i think patrice actually after him it took a minute had a tough time following him yeah and i i always say you don't have it's not like patrice is not good enough to follow him but it's just the room has to switch the room has to be and they and burr murder and patrice probably did it to burr when they flipped but it i just remember because burr i think was the one that kind of you know patricia didn't really go crazy after that yeah he you know his his elf in the room is what really was the the one that we were at yeah to that so that was unreal like uh but burrs that bird to me that was he did that and then the o and a thing happened right after that i believe and then so then it was like all right bird's gone and then so then we then we go to caroline's and that's when you know you're like hey can we go watch and they're like no no you can't go in no room and you're like ah it is kind of crazy and i guess people listening right now you're probably looking at most specials and assuming everybody there is a fan but back in the day before you were popular you did a special when you were kind of unknown oh they would pay that tickets for free they give a tip tickets for free and they pay them yeah wow so like all the comedy central specials had like a half hour or the what was it even the freemium or something like that oh yeah even the hours sometimes even hours you don't have you can't sell a theater out yeah like it's you know so it's like yeah they're not it's not like now now it's like you don't get a special unless you can sell out yeah that theater yeah yeah that's the best part is like now you can kind of go like all right i'll pick i'll go to that market anyway and you sell tickets and you're like let's just film this yeah and then and then so you pick where you want to film which is it's much different you're in front of your crowd and yeah but yeah then you you have people they don't know why they're there when you film do you like being fish out of water for a special for something you're taping do you like being a little bit of a fish out of water to that audience like they know who you are they're familiar with you but at the same time they like the fact that you're a little bit different yeah or do you like being a home team for a special specific yeah not just i mean well the greatest you know one thing seinfeld said a long time ago they said what the only thing that you miss like before being famous yeah and uh winning them over yeah yeah and so and i look i can still win i can i can go to a comedy club and it's if it's not my audience i'm not saying everybody just knows who yeah you know comics were not it's not like it's you know i mean like david spade goes up you're like yeah everybody knows who david smith is yeah but with us it's like yeah our audience knows but i can easily go to a lot of people and they have no idea who yeah yeah uh but so it's when you do it special it's gonna be kind of tougher now to do it in front of a crowd that doesn't know you yeah uh and you i mean you want it to i think i just would want my audience there now just because we're there but uh it's like depends on where you film it like i don't you know the last one i filmed in l.a and this next one when we think about like i don't know where i would want you know possibly san francisco or like i like filming in maybe a different place yeah that's from where i'm at just just age just to be like you hear this it's unique what they're hearing yeah you know if you're a san francisco comic and you got a comic going up there doing like some super progressive like woke stuff they've probably heard versions of those ideas throughout their life yeah right maybe throughout their week right they've heard that take on the riots or whatever it is yeah but like when you go tape in a place where they don't know your perspective your voice is interesting yeah you know like what you're saying your opinions are interesting they know who you are they're ready for what you have to do but it's still refreshing it's like yo yes this guy's different yeah he's different and so maybe you don't win them over but you still get to be unique yeah you know to them i hate the winning them over i'm so glad that's done yeah that's stupid i [ __ ] it was my least favorite part of comedy the first three minutes of comedy sucked yeah hated it yeah cause i have to like explain my it's like yeah i would always look at some comics that like a big fat comic could just be like i'm not going to fall over on you they'd like do some [ __ ] the monkey yeah so you can see me exactly like but what it did is essentially calmed everybody and got everybody on the same page like i understand the magic trick that they're doing right and but when i would go up there it's like i'm like i don't want to [ __ ] i know what you're thinking yeah like i don't care about that yeah yeah i just want to talk about what i want to talk about unfortunately i have to like be you don't know what i am i jewish am i [ __ ] italian like nobody understands like what i am i use some like hip-hop vernacular so like there's all this confusion amongst the strangers so i just have to start out with a really funny [ __ ] joke yeah and then everybody goes okay whatever he is that's fine yeah you're handcuffed by your lack of uniqueness in the sense that you all are just straight white dudes like there's like use patrice the elephant in the room when i walk out there yeah well now it's more normal but before i don't see a lot of comics that look like this guy yeah so if i don't address it they're gonna be like hey buddy it's almost like a guy like when i would do shows in harlem i just wouldn't talk about it or the bronx whatever and i bomb and then i realized it's like they don't see people like me outside of the bodega yeah yeah so it's almost like a guy in a wheelchair going up and just doing jokes not acknowledging this is not what's interesting to me about you yeah it's a weird thing it's like a gift and a curse right yeah but the gift to finish real quick is your point to your point the gift is i know exactly what to talk about when i get up there yeah your curse is what the [ __ ] do you talk about when you get what do you think i am yeah you got an accident at least so something he's got an italian name nate bargatzi yeah and then he goes up there starts speaking in a southern accent there's going to be a little confusion yeah i'm sure you had bits about that in the beginning yeah you had a funny joke about a italian family an italian family yeah uh it was do you remember all your old no it was something about like he just stayed there or something yeah it was like uh oh i remember this something yeah i i i'm blanking on now but yeah we're italian and uh something i don't know anyway but like i would think about that like there were these like like a gay comic that doesn't present as super gay yeah that dude's got to come out every time like the hardest thing in his life probably was coming out oh yeah every time he go hi guys i'm gay and then you got a few dudes in the audience he hears his parents reaction every time he has to relive it [Laughter] so i was like i understand how that's tough but at the same time and i wonder if like i always wonder that like with gay dudes in life if they lean into the femininity or whatever that word is of homosexual yes like i don't got to explain to you what i like i'm i'm well okay so you do got to learn so i do think the benefit i do have is the southern accent so i mean i was you didn't change your [ __ ] at all some people moved to york and all of a sudden they started talking like us yeah and i your accent got stronger it was worse yeah like when i first met you you were just speaking like neutral yeah by the end it was getting real nate parker well i always took it that's another thing i hated i hated when like southern people moved to new york and then they would trash the south like i'm i like someone to be proud where i don't care where you're from but i want you to love where you're from yeah that's all i want yeah yeah i don't care where in the world you're from yeah just be way on board with you like you love your home yeah like so when people moved and then they started just trashing the south being like right they're a bunch of you're like yo dude that's your family like you're embarrassing how about you go up there and tell them like no we're good we're not this prince harry that's what's annoying about it yeah rep your [ __ ] why'd you be happy about it be happy bro you made millions of dollars doing nothing dog yeah you know i they don't do they do anything i [Laughter] i thought they like ran the country no no dude i thought they were like in charge of like you know the traffic lights and stuff like they're like and then i just found out they're like it's turn them turn them green now okay yeah but they're like they're like the kardashians right like or something yes the royal kardashians yeah yeah is that crazy people worship them yeah oh my mom is like it's a if your moms are way on board with everything my mom has watched every like wedding funeral i mean hours and hours of it yeah it's like uh why don't you think i don't know i think it's it's a soap opera i guess and like i do i like it for that reason i like that my mom likes it and i like that that's like it's it's pretty cool and uh you know like i think uh his brother and kate middleton or whatever yeah yeah seems very nice and like seems like i don't know i i like the idea of it the queen's been alive forever dude like that's crazy uh it's funny that she's the queen and then you're like does she run anything you're like nah nah we don't let her do much like uh and you're like all right is there should there be another like what who's in charge of it they don't they don't have anybody yeah that's crazy so there's they've never been in charge of anything i think back in the day day nah yeah back in the day before they had like a parliament and all that kind of [ __ ] they did it but they kind of just kept them around i think they keep them around because no one would go to england if it wasn't for that yeah like the weather sucks the food sucks the people are not the best looking right it's like all the reasons why you traveled they don't have and so if you don't have a castle or two or a palace or that clock or whatever it's like that's the first thing i went to when i was there yeah i got to see the palace why do i have to see the palace because i guess it's you know royalty yeah it's that's their empire state building yeah that's their like broadway whatever i always think about like why do we go places you know like covid everyone went there because it was open open was enough like when we went to nashville but then nashville has like a party vibe there's a and i don't get married i know there's some elitism there and but the party vibe in nashville like you could just go to those bars down on broadway and it doesn't have that same thing like in new york or l.a like there's a club and the robe you can't get in it's just like jam as many [ __ ] people and maybe kid rock will show up and he'll play a few songs and it's just fun yeah and that's nice when you're going on vacation you don't have to worry about getting rejected yeah the club like you have to plan it you know you're just like yeah we go walk around like yeah yeah it's great it is great nashville is very open in that kind of thing where it's you're not like you don't yeah that yeah that list kind of that stuff's exhausting it's exhausting but southern culture does have that you guys there is a bouginess there's a buginess bro there's a boogie-ness man you don't think the golf club got a little uh a couple requirements oh yeah yeah those aren't southerners that's that's rich white people that's just that culture oh is that golf club culture that's not like new york golf clubs aren't going to be super accepting yeah i think they just started yeah like i think they just started and they were kind of like forced to yeah yeah even out in long island yeah it's going to take a little bit longer to get to the south augusta is going to be a little slower but like i don't look at that as southern culture i'm sure there's some pretension but we try not to put on errors it's where you join i mean some of them some country clubs are the one i'm at like it's it's some are more blue-collar-ish like yeah it's really just you're paying your thing yeah it's a straight up it's it's like a lot of real golfers are there like so it's people that are serious about golf so there's the vibe of it is uh vanderbilt their golf their team plays there yeah yeah and uh and so like the vibe of it there is like dudes are there to work like to play and get good explain something to me because you've been the biggest vanderbilt fan yeah okay you did you didn't go to video you i know you've worked that out in your head yeah go we don't get that in new york like because we don't have college sports right so we've never got to before the records for a little bit when they did good i was there we did yeah well rutgers was having like a really good year and then i remember everybody's like oh everybody's cheering for rutgers and you're like y'all just heard about rutgers new yorkers were caring about a new jersey rutgers was had a great season when i was there and so that's and it was like kind of like oh six they're games yeah but yeah their games were kind of on tv more so then everybody's like oh this is here ray rice yeah and then so wow and so and so people were kind of excited about that they don't care but none of my boys maybe it's different because i grew up in like manhattan or whatever but me we never discussed college sports at all right i didn't even know college sports i knew it was popular because i like heard about march madness and these things we didn't watch march madness yeah i know this sounds probably crazy never once growing up did me and my boys go yo we want to watch the games this saturday with march madness didn't watch a single college basketball game until i was in college yeah and my this our school made the tournament the year before i went to ucsb and then i saw what the [ __ ] this thing was so break down the like the leap between i'm gonna i don't go to the school but i love the school i identify with the school how does that work so it's it's it's not just the south but it's like also the midwest like like ohio state all over the country they do it it's just new york that they don't do it uh it's it's you know a lot of us didn't have pro sports so nashville didn't have pro teams we didn't have the titans uh so everybody's like really into college because that's all you can really root for alabama what pro team is in alabama so it's a no if there's no pro team you just love the sport and that's the only opportunity yeah so it's like and you you know it's that town you're it's kind of it's more of about the town and stuff like that so we didn't have the titans growing up so a lot of my friends were university of tennessee fans but i was a vanderbilt fan which was in nashville yeah and vanderbilt's like was notoriously struggling a lot back then and so no one was a fan of vanderbilt then uh but i always think it's good to be a fan of like a team that struggles like it makes builds character like you have to like you don't just get handy you're not the yankee you know i remember lebron perfect was like a band-aid yeah lebron was like a perfect kid like for his age that he grew up and he listed his favorite teams it was the cowboys yankees and maybe the bulls or something you're like oh was it was it was that hard struggle just all of those teams won yeah didn't have a nice struggle in his life but i'm saying like it's there was a big generation of that where like people were fans of like teams that were like there was no they don't even know what it was like to lose yeah like you know that's like if you're a patriots fan of red sox but before they all started winning yeah like when you if you a long time ago you struggled dude like and then if you're like a kid you're like oh i don't know we've never not won yeah like that's all we've ever dealt with if you're a boston sports fan that's our age yeah you don't know not winning oh yeah you remember a few years because the celtics weren't good in the 90s patriots were all a joke yeah and then the red sox never cursed yeah yeah yeah i grew up in dallas so the first three years i started watching football for four years we won three super bowls so i was like oh this is what it is yeah yeah and then now i'm like man [ __ ] i would appreciate that if it happened now yeah so i do think that's true also one thing college is culturally it's a part of the south it's almost like i remember being like i guess i gotta root for a college team i just want to do that and i'll try to go to that college yeah and then when i didn't go there i gave up but it just it's just like sports is so central to life football in particular yeah you gotta find it too that's gonna be lovely these colleges that would never let us in yeah i don't get it i don't we just care about the sports man like they uh like you ride your whole life for the school you buy the merch oh yeah and then all of a sudden you're like i'd like to go and continue my education there and then they go you're not good enough that's insane yeah like how do you still root well there's not a college in america that would have let me in like so it's like i mean what am i you know like i went to a community college and then for a year no credits one year and then i did western kentucky for a semester again zero credits felt bold i felt bowling [Laughter] and i'm actually a pretty good bowler but like once they made me keep the score on my they're like you got to write the score down you're like yeah i don't know how to do that dude like that's why they all have the screens they keep it for you yeah and the guy's like now you got to learn how to do it and i'm like i don't care like and then that was it i didn't i didn't learn but that was so i could never get in these colleges anyway but you don't have any you just want to root for something like we didn't have baseball teams we were the closest was like the braves yeah uh for baseball so it's because they were always on tnt right yeah it's only like two hours from nashville or tb yeah it's real close yeah a lot of people be cubs fans because they were on wgn yeah and so what you could see that's why the cowboys they were always on tv so everybody became a big fan of them yeah uh but yeah you i don't know you just you like these college teams you the older you get though the more it changes because it's crazy because at first you're like these kids are older than you yeah and then you're like become older then you're like dude i mean i could have that kid yeah and then and it's weird to be so like you're i love them but you're you learn to like kind of back off to be like i can't you can't admire mad at an 18 year old like you know a young 18 years you're like i'm furious at this kid yeah you know i used to follow him on twitter if someone was thinking about going to vayner but i'd follow him on twitter and then when they didn't i would unfollow them [Laughter] 17. he's a 17 year old kid like in your life it was weird enough to be honest oh it's crazy it was inappropriate a little bit it's a little so you're recruiting you're trying to recruit them together yeah look if we had some crazy kid coming to vayner but i would definitely follow him i know a lot of the golfers now because they're at that thing and i'll follow them yeah but then some of them i know but it's like sometimes yeah you follow them and then you're like yeah it's an 18 year old dude like i don't whatever they're posting you're like i don't care about any of this stuff yeah uh but yeah it's i don't know it's interesting yeah yeah it's just yeah it's funny you're following y'all we're into the pros though like i remember you know when i moved to chicago first because that's where i was first at uh i was there for like the bartman like oh [ __ ] i was there when all that i was was waiting tables and uh you know what's crazy so if you watch that bartman espn uh clarify what it is for everybody what do you want to see yeah yeah this is the guy this is the guy that they blame the game which by the way i i after what they did to him i don't think the cubs i wish they never win ever again and i would like that town i i mean i what they did to him is insane to me so real quick back story it was game six and chicago was i think up 3-2 so if they win this game yeah they go to their first world series in like a hundred years they're up big yeah yeah on the marlins i think and then a foul ball is hit and whoever the cubs outfielder is he is going to catch this and the cubs are going to win the game yeah a fan reaches out doesn't realize the outfielder's there he's so excited to catch a foul ball reaches out grabs it gets in the way the the outfielder can't catch cubs fan cubs fan yeah and then the the outfielder loses his [ __ ] mind on the fan and then the marlins come back and win that game and then when the series in the club zombie yeah real quick that's right if he wasn't a cubs fan yeah is he dead if it's now with the internet he's probably dead because think about that they couldn't really get to him like they did then right now if it was a twitter and stuff like that yeah yeah he's probably dead like they would people would have started filming him and tracking him like he could have he at least was able to somewhat get away yeah just because the internet wasn't like it was oh i meant that day like imagine he was a fan i guess marlins imagine he had a marlins hat on yeah and he disrupts the play yeah and the saddle sorry real quick just you know the backstory i just watched i actually watched one of the rare baseball games ever watched you see him the rest of the game as the comeback is happening they keep cutting back to him and he's just staring straight forward [ __ ] freaking out inside like what is happening oh my god this is all my fault everybody hates me yeah you're just watching that for like 30 minutes and then whatever happened after you can so the the ball was way in the in the stands it wasn't like he didn't reach out at all like the ball was if he was if he didn't move the ball would have hit him in the head oh so you think that there's no way that maybe he catches it but it's not there's there's 50 people a ball is coming at you you know if i throw you something you're going to move towards it yeah it wasn't that insane and by the way they were up and then they lost yeah so they got like yeah it wasn't this like it wasn't he he reached over and like he's you know yeah boys lose having to jump kind of in the stands maybe he catches it maybe doesn't does it so they boot him whatever and then uh if you watch the documentary he then the a woman this that works there takes him out of the stadium and she's like we kind of got to go and then people see him because now he's been on tv all night so people see him and they they're like well we gotta like get you off the streets because you will get killed yeah and so the woman that works there takes him to her apartment girl so i'm waiting tables that night then jake melnick's this restaurant in chicago and so he was like packed we're all watching it on tv and all these chicago fans and then uh so my a friend of mine that worked there she goes home well she's roommates with that girl so how crazy it is then uh she just goes home bartman's on tv it's the craziest thing in the world and she comes home and he's sitting in her living room and she's like hey and then he's just like you know like just kind of watching the coverage of it this guy was such a fan he had headphones on he was listening to the radio yeah uh and so they might play on the radio oh they i think they put his address out in the paper the next day yeah they uh in the paper i believe wow i believe in chicago tribune i mean i wish he sued them and where they don't exist yeah i mean they ruined that guy never done an interview never tried to get anything for it they've now they've invited him to come back but it's like insane but you ruined a guy's life and then i think they sent him a world

handicap yeah five right now oh [ __ ] yeah so you're almost what is it called scratch golfer yeah well phi it's very this is where it gets tough five to five to zero is brutal why it's just it's i mean you're you gotta be shooting you need to shoot under par some and then you gotta shoot uh even a lot you know you just can't make that many mistakes you just can't double bogeys you've got to be gone and you got to make birdies it's hard it's it's very and you got to be really good at putting and shipping and how much is you love the sport and how much of it is i need me time i love this sport so like as we're doing this the major pga championship is on right now with the majors and like i think the sport is like unbelievable it's i think a lot like comedy it's on you no one else is out there it's you yeah no matter what like the the course is like the audience yeah yeah you decide on how that show goes yeah you want this audience to be bad or good and it's up to you sometimes it's windy sometimes it's windy sometimes it's not sometimes stuff can go wrong it's it's unfair yeah uh but it's on you you got to make your own career your own life no one else can help you no one can make you do anything yeah yeah it's totally up to what you do yeah uh so i love the aspect of that with comedy and that so i i love as a fan but then also it is that too for me is you know you're doing what we do stand up like in how much we're trying to think of jokes we're trying to think stuff 24 7. our brain never shuts off it's a nightmare it's exhausting i want to be oblivious i would love to be like when you see someone that's just real oblivious you're like oh my god dude like how great would that be like he doesn't know what's going on yeah and you're like i walk in a restaurant you're like i know everything that's happening like you're jason bourne yeah but just with no real skills yeah you can't do anything you just know this guy's gonna kill me and then he kills you and you can't fight back but it's you're like overly thinking of stuff and you're just like so exhausted so when i go play golf it's like all your mind goes to focus on one focus on one thing and so it's a break because you can't shut your brain off yeah but you just can i can put the energy into one thing and then then everything kind of goes away so here's my question about golf and this would drive me [ __ ] nuts you one whole ruins the whole 18 potentially yeah right yeah i suck at golf so i'm literally just trying to like hit one whole well the rest don't matter if i get one that's the goal yeah right if i can shoot like what is it one if like bogey a whole that's one over yeah that's a huge accomplishment yeah okay yeah but for you since you're so close to par if you [ __ ] up one hole badly the whole four hours that you're out there is ruined right well you gotta try to get it back so like a lot of times you gotta mince it that's a that's the mental aspect of it it doesn't break you or the you're playing so [ __ ] well and then one hole it does break you but the mental aspect is you got to get over that i mean that's the but again it goes like everywhere you have to you have to learn to deal with that like you got to learn like yeah dude you got a double bogey or triple bogey you don't just restart you let me just go back to one and just run it i mean you want to so i played in our club championship and uh i've one day i played really good and this you gotta play by the rules like everything's got to go in the hole you know the no gimmies all this stuff like that yeah and uh and so i end up getting i get back to back eights so quadruple bogeys back to back quadruple bogeys and like that's uh i mean that's bad you know like it's not and so yeah i mean your whole day's kind of shot there but then from that moment on i thought well if i can just be even par from there on out yeah and then i did that i ended up the nearest of the holes i shot even poor i made a bogey but made a birdie i kind of canceled each other out and at least made it to even par after those two eights so then i shoot like an 81 or something and uh and what is the course 72 these two okay yeah or 71 i think is the course so on that one so it's 10 over yeah but an 81 is good and like you know for uh for me but that could have easily been a 95 right right like if you just let it go you start going like all right let me calm it back down just saying the mounting pressure like i do have respect for golfers i don't really respect a sport as a sport no offense but like uh but but i do have respect for the mental aspect in terms of like the mounting pressure of you having the best game of your life it just gets that much it's like when a pitcher has a no hitter yeah yeah yeah but yeah that the entire time yeah so it's not that's what i mean like it's a it's a no that is a great way to put it is a picture with no hitter in this the entire time but 18 innings 18 yeah okay so every shot and every shot is like that yeah so when does when does it become when is the pressure kick in like the first three holes if you're doing well you're not going like oh my god this is my best time ever i'm gonna ruin it yeah six eight it's in there the whole time because you but it i would say the back nine is when it starts if you had a good round going because you all you're like well now i can just ruin it yeah yeah and so you start thinking of that stuff so all this bad stuff you know it's like when you're on stage on a joke yeah and you ever have like you ever think you're like all right i got one joke left if i don't mess this joke up this was a great set and you're like why are you thinking that yeah yeah yeah or you're or you're filming yeah like you're filming you're oh yeah oh [ __ ] they didn't laugh at that as this whole show ruiners this whole joke growing like yeah yeah so it's these those little things popping up that happens to golf so you think i actually struggle with that more like even like doing shows yeah if the crowd is fired for every comic i'm like i can't be the one that [ __ ] this up if the crowd sucks for every comic i'm like loose yeah yeah i'll go up and do it you know it's so weird maybe this is us like coming up in new york but like i'm weirdly comforted by a background oh yeah like now i get to celebrate and go on and like some comics up just [ __ ] murdering i'm like oh god yeah i gotta bring them down yeah to bring them back yeah yeah you know what i'm saying but like when they're like a little bit like ornery you know i mean like when they're kind of like a little disgruntled a little bit maybe they don't trust it i'm like this is home baby every single time i went on stage and then you get to be a little like angry at them or dismiss it to them and then like a little battle yeah then you get to that breaking point yeah yeah that is weird it's weird i don't know i guess so a guy like tiger did that make it that much more exciting when his heyday when he would like hunt down these players tiger is so like you know they always you always want to compare someone to michael jordan right yeah and really the only person you can is tiger woods there's no one really else really i mean as far as what they did no one i don't think anybody michael and tiger are the same person and they're it's they were both the biggest stars of their things and they were explaining it to me well i mean so when tiger came actually you know being a black golfer like was not no one there wasn't that many there was a there was a lot before him so it's not like they're not yeah but it was but when tiger took tiger took it to another level that what jordan did where you're like well just everybody's on board with this guy we all worship this guy this guy's the biggest star on earth we all want to be him they loved what they do they like jordan you know like you see like jordan lebron right like i was always a big lebron defender uh i'm kind of bouncing all over i have a big theory with kobe too like i missed out on kobe because i was too into jordan so that's our generation yeah same exact thing jordan kobe was too close to us that i think that's my only i wish i would have appreciated him watched him because we saw so much jordan we saw so much jordan that it was like it was hard too it was like all right i can't this is too good i'm watching the same movie i can't i gotta but now you look at you're like oh he was a killer i wish i would have watched yeah yeah yeah but i look at uh lebron i was able to kind of get back into lebron because i was like i was i was like a generation removed i go okay i'll watch this guy yeah yeah and then so uh but like you see with lebron and jordan like jordan like didn't like talk about himself at all like he didn't you know lebron starts he tweets a lot of stuff how great he is and you're like you're kind of like all right dude you're like killing me here like i want you to be the guy but yeah jordan's quiet jordan i don't know was like humble but then twitter didn't have twitter which is uh but if you asked him if he was the greatest he never said yeah like he was like oh no no the other guys are humble in that aspect i think he would say he's the greatest i think they asked him and he said he was he goes no it's not the only guy who could beat me or could come close to beating me is kobe because he stole all my moves yeah when did he say that not that they asked him we're just going to remove jordan from nate and they love jordan yeah jordan's not that good he would punch people in the face that disagree with them in practice so there's the social media aspect i guess that you don't hear all of this stuff i knew i know he's aggressive in that way yeah but but it's but i'm like that's about his practice is that actually more tiger-like to me is there [ __ ] killers yeah but everything stays right here yeah and they don't they didn't have jordan had a couple friends in the league tiger didn't have any friends on tour in his day he is a he is an island i hear he's not saying with lebron like there's a weakness to him who am i to [ __ ] call lebron week like he just squashed there's no there's no weakness i think if you talk about the two greatest i think it's uh jordan lebron and then you can have a conversation outside of that oh wow i don't like when people drop people like drop lebron like it's like garbage i mean him winning three championships of three different teams to me if he gets to five championships that counts as a sixth to me in the fact that he did it at three separate teams so now you're like yeah maybe you can you could try to say he doesn't have six he won at three different teams that's pretty wild it's hard to build a team around that's crazy to start over it's lebron and jordan that's the conversation yeah and then it's always funny that no one ever they always people always say the championship thing and you're like oh okay so you're gonna talk about bill russell like get out of here i don't talk about bill russell you're like well then we're not talking about a championship thing because he's like there's there wasn't any black guys in the league like bill russell but he won i know games was there there's one there's a pretty good one though he was pretty good yeah pretty good but there was eight teams like twelve teams like it was a different okay it was different but i hear what you're saying yeah i mean the greatest winner in history yeah bill russell yeah absolutely um but the lebron thing i don't know when i meant weakness i meant like um there's like an emotional weakness there's an ego weakness and i think that's what you're talking about he's trying to prove himself yeah over and over again no i'm doing good i am the guy yeah i'm going to crush you everybody did it for him everything i'm saying everybody everybody like fans and everybody wrote how great he was they did it yeah yeah he didn't didn't come out and go i'm the greatest yes that's dude like jordan like that's what i mean by humbled like i'm not saying he's humbled yeah but he didn't there was no things going he would confidently answer a question yeah but he never i mean lebron just tweeted that he's the 25 points per game thing yeah he tweeted where everybody was or he posted it he posted it he's also teacher report didn't post it yeah he posted it and he's reacting to people like yeah it's like you're like the whole post because it's kind of funny it was like he said i don't know i don't y'all never saw me as a scorer well that's how i wanted anyway it's like yeah who was saying that he yeah no one he goes today i'm a past first guy like yeah dude i think there's an argument you're the greatest talent to ever play basketball yeah uh then when he's better than jordan or whatever i don't know lebron's no one's built like that dude no one's that big and runs that fast and can pass that good i mean the core vision it's crazy dude yeah uh lebron's it's bananas yeah uh but like jordan like i don't know who's like the more you're like you just didn't hear all the stuff now they did grow up in two different areas but anyway back to the jordan tiger thing that's why they're the exact same i just don't get tiger well it's crazy dude you missed out i i'm just not impressed well that's insane that falls apart over the goal from [ __ ] like a great book about everything a tiger and the documentary covered a lot of it but she's like the guy was raised to be a [ __ ] killer his dad damn near gave him ptsd just like yelling at him yeah no but it was weird the stuff his dad is doing is like trying to break him on the golf course and he said to tiger if it ever gets to be too much you say this one word and i will stop and you have to say for it it was safe tiger never used a safe word he would call him the n word he would like [ __ ] berate that you would yeah [ __ ] you suck and tiger wouldn't [ __ ] break this kid is but then he broke he broke with [ __ ] i mean eventually [ __ ] men but he did pretty good until he broke i mean but that's going to win a golf tournament would have broken if they would have had uh you know if like the error that he would have like all those guys that guy's unbreakable dude uh if they doesn't care differently basketball for two years he had a [ __ ] hitler mustache bro yeah yeah nobody breaks him dude yeah i do whatever i want to do however i want it but he did quit basketball for two years he retired very early and then he came back so that was so he was broke though i don't think he was broke i think he had like some beef in the league i mean there's a lot of conspiracies about what that is but i think it was just like oh you're not going to tell me what i do i do whatever [ __ ] i want uh if the tiger thing though so the golf if you think it's like i know it's like the idea like how good john daly for instance people think he's just this fat guy you know the hand in iowa coordination he has i saw him actually play two weeks ago and we were all hidden in this kind of this celebrity kind of thing and so we're 150 yards from a hole and there's 200 people watching and they made all the celebrities hit just you know to get close to the whole whatever and if you made it you would win and so like the the pressure of hitting with 200 people watching is wild all you're thinking is like i want the ball just to go up there i don't even care if it goes near it just don't duff it don't slide it don't like shank it and so everybody's hitting and then john daly goes last pretty drunk and he hits it this guy's 50 something years old and dude the ball just never leaves the flag it doesn't go in but it just the flag's here the ball goes directly over the flag do you know how insane that is dude you know how hard it is to hit a golf ball it's so hard really hard it's really really hard and it looks like it shouldn't be which it looks like it's just frustrating when tiger won that grand slam where he won every major and they didn't think that nobody's done that dude nobody's his so a handicap what happens when real athletes start playing golf though they they can't they do play golf and they don't do good do they they do go play golf michael jordan's played golf his deer in the nba michael jordan tiger woods and golf many times no this is this is this is unknown dude yeah you don't you're just trying to say it like to go there's these are real athletes but they're learning off late i'm saying what happens when real athletes go in not like john daly but like a real app dude just justin johnson mickelson's a real ad he's an accountant all these guys are accountants like what happens when there's guys that actually have like you know fast twitch muscle fibers like real athletes they start playing golf well they do dustin johnson could have uh i think could play basketball somewhere like in college yeah he could have done all that he is a real athlete yeah brooks kepka these guys didn't tiger changed that now these guys are all jazzed now they're [ __ ] jacked now they're in shape and now they're getting good at golf finally yeah what tiger did in his run was unreal handicaps right yeah so i'm if i'm a five handicap yeah uh and then you get to zero scratch then you start going plus yeah so plus is good so a lot of golfers are plus five six seven eight yeah and tiger was at his best i believe he was a plus ten so that means every time he goes out to play it your handicap is basically what you ten of the holes he's no under par oh on yeah yeah if he if he played me and then the rest par rest of the part so your handicap is what you're capable of doing yeah so if i'm if i'm a plus five i can go shoot under par but like i can also go shoot of 77 that's what my abilities are right and then so his his capability every course that he walked on yeah if it's a par 71 yeah he can go shoot his 61. that's but imagine like antonio brown he could do like a 55. yeah like somebody that actually was built to do you know cool physical [ __ ] tom brady here's why you'll never know because those guys will never play golf why well they do go try you watch them go play fun but they don't put the same effort in yeah that's what i'm saying is like what if they put the exact same effort in like chess you know it's a sport but it's more mental than anything is chess it's so hard though woods was an athletic chess player yeah like an astronaut yeah he's an astronaut gotcha where you have to be physically fit but you also have to be like smart mentally strong mentally strong it's uh it's so hard that you dismiss it like the way you're dismissing it that's how hard it is i'll be honest with you it's like that you're just acting like you're trying to say tiger's not good because you're that's how hard golf is that you just were like no none of them are good can i be honest with you sometimes i'll see my fiance cleaning right actually like sweeping and i'll be like that's golf yes yeah that's what i think golf is yeah it's kind of sweeping something that's cleaning up the cars clean it up that's what people tend to do something that's unattainable they go whoa but they don't do that with stand up right they're like oh my god that's the hardest thing i would never want to do that but everybody goes to the golf and like everybody wants to do stand-up but that's the most terrifying thing in the world like it is the most terrifying but i mean how many people there's no celebrity stand-up tournaments there's a lot of celebrities that just get into stand-up though like they're poor now i know but i mean that's but they go they go terrify them yeah just celebrate tournament it's not like everybody's good everybody's real bad out there i'm just trying to say you don't think that like let's think of an athlete dwyane wade you don't think of dwayne ronaldo [ __ ] ronaldo messi these guys do play and they're yeah if they if they dedicated they're it's just different the hand eye open and whatever they're good at the pressure and the hand eye or coordination all that stuff's like a little bit better like and that's where i think golfers come from i mean they're real they are athletes dude they got to go you got to play 18 holes with every hole is that much pressure right mentally that's it's just a different thing dude like it's yeah it's you're just it's a different sport i'll be honest with you i think i could be uh scratch golf scratches par yeah if i if i worked on it for six months to a year i think i could get it down if you can get to scratch i'll give you one hundred thousand dollars if you can get the script so i think if i six months to a year i would have to dedicate myself full like i'd have to at least spend i don't know i'd have to go i'll let you do it every day you have to go i don't need every day i would go like maybe on sunday maybe on saturday as well and then if i could do it two times a week i think i could i think i could be a scratch golfer i'll give you more than a hundred thousand dollars if i could do it the scratch golfer yeah in a year six months to a year i think between six months and a year i'd be able to hit it probably around the nine months absolutely absolutely but i don't have to do it at least two days a week i'd have to do i don't know but i'll get it i'll figure out how you could give me a million dollars if i could do that if you can if you can get to scratch golf or two now unless you're lying and i don't know that you're some golfer or something that you're already i'm from new york where would i golf yeah there's nowhere there's nowhere to go yes yeah so six months to a year but if i just focus on it like if i actually went there and i like looked at the ball and i tried to hit it straight i think i could do that yeah absolutely he also thinks he can beat ronda rousey in a ufc yeah i mean yeah i could definitely do that i think that akash could also do that yeah yeah i'm not i'm not on board with this one she beat turtle in entourage so i doubt it wait an actual fight or the entourage the show oh it was the show yeah okay because then i was about i was about to think about that yeah because he's littler but he's still a guy yeah yeah all right i mean look i don't want to like ruin golf for you or anything like that i'm just saying it's you're not i mean because i actively do play every day trying to get to zero and you also have like you have like a golf thing right yeah so that's oh yeah dude and i can't do it what do you mean i can't get to zero i think you could get to zero have you tried playing will you give one two times if i actually need a million i gotta give you a million i'll give you i'm gonna try to get something would someone give me a million if i get zero i need something all

trying to you know and i don't i don't talk about it that much like uh what the podcast i don't know i like where it's uh but it is very enjoyed i think it's helped my stand-up really you know because i think that was the hard part when you know when you get off uh when you leave new york and you're not doing spots and you really kind of start doing the road start to develop your ideas and spots don't really mean anything you don't really need spots as much yeah you don't want them as much uh i think to be the better comic you gotta go learn on the road and you gotta learn to like you're a show yeah and people come to see you you're the show yeah they need to see the show and so uh but doing this podcast and being funny and you know it's like it's a good muscle it's kind of back to like new york when he was like that's what made so fun in new york it's like busting balls and all that kind of stuff yeah uh so naylan podcast special is the greatest average american on netflix and then yeah the tour uh the rain check tour uh a lot of the dates have been put up yeah uh bran it's all new material people always wonder that you ask that a lot uh and then i'll be coming to a lot of cities a lot of cities are not announced that's the big thing dude people they're like yo when are you coming here you're like yeah dude i'm when do i do i give up the vibe that i don't tour yeah like

be in naples is my last kind of club date what are you doing uh off the hook off the hook yeah dude i remember i did that there is it still in the uh the restaurant i don't know i haven't been there in uh i don't know i don't know if i've ever i think i've been there once uh i don't know oh dude i had a bad bomb in that place man yeah a lot of i've heard of mixed i'm hoping that it's it's i think it's you know when you get your i think they changed it i think they i think they changed it and you get your fans there okay it's uh yeah this is way before that and i was just i just heard them frying shrimp yeah like i heard the shrimp get dropped in to the grease you just hear like this guy's not that good i mean like one thing is like hearing ice in a drink and you're like okay i guess i kind of understand i was kind of loud but like when i could find i knew what they made i heard the grill dog [ __ ] burger it's so quiet it's not even that loud literally a few minutes before i'm listening to the girl put the order in so i know the order right yeah and that's loud because nobody's laughing right and then a few minutes later i just hear so yeah there's popcorn yeah it's almost ready she sits there she goes i think they're almost ready it's coming that is funny like when you hear afterwards you're like dude can y'all calm it down with the noise and they're like i mean i set silverware on the table very cheap and they're you're like why don't you do better you're like yeah yeah all right maybe i should be doing better but did you guys how loud's that soda machine back there man is there a microphone by it they're like that's the restaurant next door that's how quiet you made it oh dude man some bad bombs it's a bad bomb you're a bomb in uh in comics you know comics uh comedy club in connecticut yeah one in the casino oh yeah foxwoods fox foxwood yeah i heard a guy win i don't know what game but i spawned so hard i guess one of the doors over to something i just heard a guy go everybody in that [ __ ] room just bombing with me looking out like oh he could be out there winning yeah what the [ __ ] you dragged me in here for it's the quietness is just wild yeah when you're bombing that's the it's something special man it's like when you're doing it and you're like dude you're in it and no one's laughing and you hear everything that's going on yeah it's it's pretty wild it's an experience do you ever want to go up though when it's bad you know what like we talked when someone's like yo dude this this show is terrible and like i remember me and giannis did some show in long island and they were they weren't even listening like you could go on stage as a comic and do a set and 80 the crowd would be like oh i didn't even know there was a comic on stage at one point which is wild dude yeah to be going like doing uh new year's eve shows yeah i remember hosting those in new york and uh you would you would go up you know like they get the show done and they're still like 10 minutes before the ball gets dropped yeah yeah and so they're dropping checks and people are just talking and you're in a you're talking in a microphone and you're like this is pretty surreal just big i'm on stage doing what my dream is yeah and there's people that if you asked you're like hey do you remember when i went on stage like no i don't even know who you are and you're like dude i was in front of you they i mean that's like it's it's crazy it's unbelievable to have to like feel like you have to emotionally deal with that i was in front of you for 20 minutes yeah that's a long time that's a [ __ ] sitcom right yeah it's a in front of you yeah and you when you walk out and they're like i didn't even i didn't even see you yeah and you're like the microphone was on me it was on it's not like it was off it was the loudest thing in the room and they go oh i thought it was like i don't know i thought it was like a newscaster yeah like you know yeah i thought they turned on channel twos and they were watching the ball drop yeah they were those shows they had these shows in the city where like nobody i think told the people in the restaurant there was going to be a show oh yeah you know like yeah what are they called like kamikaze comedy or something like that yeah yeah ambush and but yeah like an ambush show i think they were they did a show at a laundromat too like yeah they were just these places like this is what comics do like they find places where their people will be we're parasites any host that will have us suck the business out of your store but there was a time where we would like have to promote it yeah and then comics got savvy they're like well people are always waiting for the bathroom what if we do the show in front of the bathroom yeah you know and they did it at a laundromat so we just needed people yeah just we needed bodies bro the liverpool get in front of people i remember going to broadway comedy club and you're bombing and you're like where's everybody from like does anybody speak english in here and it's like a room of like nobody's asian tourists not one spoke english and they're just there kind of for the experience well they're there for dave chappelle because they were told yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and you're just bombing and then you're like and then you're like does anybody really speak english like not really like you know they don't just not really not really you're like okay and then you just bomb for 10 minutes and you get out yeah that's what that stuff i was saying oh by the way that's the highlight of your day like the whole earlier part of your day you're going tonight broadway comedy you're building up today oh you're building you're tweaking little words in the settle i'm going to try this a new joke oh that was like a game of thrones finale yeah like that's what i waited for this whole time this whole time new york was good i would say new york was like dog years for that's why that's why new york comics to me are always so great is like because we get up so much yeah over an eight year period like i went up every day for eight years every day you age in time on stage yeah like there are comics you go to certain places they've been doing 12 years but they've really been doing it like a year and a half yeah you did a 10-minute spot once a week you're not aging quickly in this comedy no we're we if we had a bad show i mean you know the most i ever did was seven in one night which is too much yeah but average would be like four it gets yeah four yeah three to five would probably be about your average for you know at the beginning you're only doing one yeah but you could go hit multiple open mics yeah but then once you kind of get into the clubs you're doing you know probably four and so for a night dude that's a lot yeah you can fix a joke like you see it evolve you see it evolved that's what i miss like we came down here so we can start doing stand up again and obviously get out of new york because it was just so locked down but what i do miss is having an idea that has no punch lines it's just something funny about it and then going on stage and like working it out with that audience yeah that's the only way i learned how to write like i did not learn how to or i could talk to like my friends about it oftentimes like talking to non-comics is really helpful yeah because they're not like uh looking for it you're just having like a pretend to mix it in like a pretend serious conversation yeah yeah yeah so like but that's always makes you be more conversational that's why i like doing that sometimes it's like you try to you not like you're doing your act in front of them you could kind of like but you get it and then you can if you can say if i can say it to you and it'd be funny in this conversation then it'll be funny it'll be yeah conversation i like being conversational that was a big burden patrice thing like that they would always say i'd ask like do you write everything out word for word and they're like no because it's like then it gets too scripted yes and so you don't want to be scripted you know where the jokes are you know where the laughs are and it's not bad if a couple things change yeah like if some people always tell me like well you did that you didn't do the joke the same as you did it the other night yeah and i'm like that's not a bad thing yeah like keeps it fresh for me like a little like yeah you know i don't want to miss the main part yeah but it's overall you're like yeah it should be a little flowing so it's always i want to be a little surprised when i'm telling you i want it to feel like it's i mean if not the first time but i want to feel like it's a little bit different sometimes and i know this is maybe bad habit like i kind of like getting a little lost in it yeah like i'll flip an order of something oh yeah and like try to like work myself out of it yeah because i don't know it feels if i i always feel like if i feel alive in the moment with it then they'll feel my energy yeah you know i thought about playing golf i thought so golf has a lot of mental coaches doing this again we're doing golf games the disrespectful show tiger woods is bananas dude the guy that they couldn't uh hold it together yeah he held it all he just walked on grass for a living yeah that's an easy way i mean he's the greatest he's my favorite he's probably my number one if i could ever meet tiger woods as my number one person really that's it i am i love him dude number one number one number one number one jordan would be there too if you have a sister he'd probably be into it huh oh yeah he'd probably yeah he liked them white yeah he liked them white yeah yeah uh that's all his fault either you know his dad used to like when they would when they was a kid he'd go to a golf course his dad had a winnebago and like as he's practicing his dad would just take women into that yeah and i mean like and he's married so he's like just cheating on his mom and tiger's watching it yeah like toughness for mental toughness yeah yeah he never said the safe word he never said the same word they didn't either there was a sex job i knew it was him bro i do it you react to the world i just never think like that i don't know what you're talking about immediately that's all i think about dude once we're doing this i'm like yo dude i have real big problems with this stuff andrew you're hitting a little close to home does that have a big uh but the myth of the mystic joke addiction the mental the mental joke uh the mental aspects they how to be mentally they tell them how to like teach them yeah and i thought about that with stand up yeah where you uh because you can catch yourself wandering yeah and you're not in the moment and you're like i need to be better about being in the moment yeah and so it's like that kind of aspect here's another reason that it compares dude that's so funny like i always think about like uh what can i do outside of comedy to be better at comedy like i know it sounds weird but i look at these athletes and i'm like okay they're like if lebron's playing basketball but he's also like doing [ __ ] yoga and ballet and all these other things to get his footwork i'm like what can i do in stand-up does it mean like i'm reading things it's exciting to increase my it's experience i think it's experience you should do stuff you go put yourself the hardest thing to talk about go do something that's uncomfortable yes it's your girl wants you to go to you know we got to go eat with these people yes you don't like them well you need to go yes we got this dinner party but okay i'll go like go do these kind of things that you're like you would normally be like i'm not going and then go that's the put stuff together like by you know dropping in right yeah i mean that was i mean when we were on the road that that's what i would do back in the day the reason i would uh i did these like vlogs was to get out of the hotel yeah because i realized i'd be in columbus ohio i'd be in the room and i'd wake up at noon i'd get some food and then i'd go back into my hotel and then i'd talk to 300 people yeah i talked to nobody yeah and then i talked a threat yeah and i was like i just got to go out and like do it and then i started going to do things and all of a sudden i had [ __ ] to talk to these people about about their home towns it was really [ __ ] kind of interesting and cool it was okay but like what if there's a mental aspect outside of just experiences what if it's like you know when you're feeling like you're most secure and confident and you go on stage and anything that happens you can bounce off of in the best way like i bet there's athletes like i have to be in a good mental state to perform well in the playoffs like what can i do to make sure my mental state i'm on lebron is reading fake reading yeah yeah he was going through them [ __ ] kill a mockingbird now was it the hunger games i didn't tell you this the the story about that no oh this is crazy you know lebron fake reads books right for the photo he'll just read the first page of the book they take a picture and he puts it down so he was fake reading the hunger games and there's this like young journalist who uh was was trying to like ingratiate himself to lebron and build a relationship uh by talking about the hunger games and he's like oh which one you want you're on the mockingjay or something oh dude i love that one because katniss is doing this at the other and as he's talking to lebron about he's realizing lebron hasn't read any of these [ __ ] games so he's got a moonwalk out of the combo without letting lebron know that he knows that he's a [ __ ] fraud yeah when it comes to reading these books so now all these memes have come out of lebron is only reading the front page of the book yeah or the first page oh great but that's another one like jordan would be like [ __ ] reading yeah anybody i don't i don't know you reading that i win there's no i read the the last dance when he met seinfeld what did he he goes hey they're big fans of your show because truth like at that moment jordan and seinfeld tv show that's the two biggest things yeah going don't disrespect jordan like yeah that's fair sci-fi i disrespect jordan was bigger than tiger i mean you like seinfeld like i'd stand up yeah i'm a big seinfeld guy you don't think he's wildly overrated yeah i mean dude he started in 79 what do you want him to be like i'm sorry he's not you're eddie he was before eddie i'm sorry he's not exactly what you want him to be he needs to be exactly what i want to be you're very good at dismissing andrew in a way that makes him look dumb yeah yeah you're just very casual like i'm sorry he's not exactly i think you have to be [ __ ] i'm marvel at how you just take it and you're just like oh i'm sorry i don't think he's pretentious i think that's why i i mean i think it's funny you know what that comes from it's an older comment like it's the no because i love you know the oh geez i love like uh i've actually i missed that potential he's been he's been so famous forever i think he's like dude he's awesome like his his specials are doing really good i mean created signs for seinfeld is my favorite show of all time like yeah it's the best [ __ ] that's so overrated bro that's so crazy you really like did you ever watch other shows huh yeah i've watched other shows dude how are they talking about i was like a nate line that was like a nate line have you tried other shows have you tried it have you tried watching other tv everybody loves raymond office i love yeah all great yeah all great shows seinfeld is great did you not like it because you're were living in manhattan maybe it was like too close like i just didn't care for it i was like okay these guys are quirky there's now that i lived there there that's what you thought like look how when you're working seven years old seven years old i swear to god i put it on and i like i hated the way the kramer would walk in i'd be like you're not gonna walk into someone's house like that like i'm just not gonna let you in my house like if you're gonna keep on bursting in the [ __ ] door it's just stupid i mean you dance around in here all the time you know do you you're the creamer now dude he was a guy doing stand up he was like a celebrity that went into stand up it didn't go too well it didn't get not go good but if you did that's the best six to twelve months you don't you don't have an act or where to go that's what happens that's what happens if you don't know where you're going up there that's what happened it's the n-word it's gonna be nothing else yeah you're never naughty he said i am not bombing today yeah most of us just go okay it's a bomb it's a bomb i could do this it's like yeah he's bringing everybody down with him he's like if i die everybody dies like and he goes with that uh yeah yeah seinfeld is great seinfeld show's great great uh stand-up's great he's he's kind of the key he's also a billionaire so you're asking him to not be pretentious when he's a billionaire comedian he would dude he's a comedy i know i'm act i'm like harder on him for some reason maybe it's because he's so successful and yeah you're just yeah what are your next new york comics so it's okay i'm just like i don't know like he's like the king dude once cosby was out it's that's the guy really yeah he's the he's i mean dude all this stuff like i don't worry about like i don't wear shorts on stage or like not that i would wear them but it's like i remember him saying don't wear shorts or one time he said don't like short sleeve shirts are like kind of weird on stage and all these kind of weird advice from seinfeld well he's just saying like no one wants to see your arms yeah they do huh yeah they do yeah that i don't i think it's that that's the things that annoy me like he has this like one idea of what stand-up is yeah and he's like shut up you're not even the best it's your version that's it's it's his that's his uh thing i don't know it's uh you and i do very different types of comedy i love your comments oh yeah very different there there's a lot very different i don't know what cameron is we do we definitely do but i can appreciate your comment yeah okay i find that he has a hard time appreciating the things that aren't exactly the way that he does them i understand i mean dude he's in his 60s i mean like figure it out it is but it's it's definitely going to be an older kind of like yeah dude that's he's that's the way he started that's the way he is that's what he does his most recent special he even said like i'm this is my last special i'm too old for this now yeah i don't understand what what's going on comedy's not for old people to do i'm done him leaving at his peak dude when he the thing when he talked with jordan and uh and he goes yeah you know two guys in the 90s and like they both like they left they got out of the way yeah too many people don't get out of the way anymore they they stay and they don't leave who would you like to leave mm-hmm no it's a few uh i think it's too many to list no i don't know if i i don't know if i want anybody to leave but i don't know if i there's a real answer to that but it's like i do like the idea dude the show's the biggest show on earth and they're gonna give him i mean probably a hundred million more dollars if he does one more season and he says no because why would i i can't top it and then he's never done anything else the reunion show was actually pretty perfect in the fact that they did it on kirby enthusiasm they did it on another show they did the kind of reunion thing cooler than anybody's ever done a reunion thing yeah and so he's kind of done his own thing and he left and he goes all right see you he went back and did stand up the b movie was great community shut the [ __ ] up you're defending the b movie i mean what do you want it to be he's so good at it good i don't know how he does it good it's good it's good it wasn't even the best movie about bees that came out that year what was the better movie than that wasn't it ant there was an ant maybe it was an ant movie i don't know there was another insect movie that was better the baby was great calm aw one of my favorite moves i've ever seen in my life [Laughter] do you guys have like a thing you guys have like a tour i've never met him i would love to meet him i've never met him uh he'll let you down i met him once yeah that's why he doesn't like him yeah i hope we just talk about you the whole time yeah we did if i mean no i'm saying when i meet seinfeld he goes by andrew schultz is like i know right like i just i'll have to know i have to defend you to him now that's what he does dude he wears those shoes he goes like y'all have to get he wears the shoes i know i would like to defend you to him what if he gets just rails on you the whole time and i'm like no there's no way seinfeld knows who i am you're you're two new york dudes why don't y'all not get along with that because he's from uh long island and y'all don't care for them i like people from long island it's like you know i think they're like to be honest i don't know i in a lot of ways like the real new yorkers i know it's a weird thing to say because but their their personalities fit the stereotype of what most people think new yorkers are yeah way more than like me for example yeah you know like i think when a a lot of people meet me they're not like wait aren't you supposed to say get over here yeah give me a pizza or whatever that kind of you fit in if you were from florida honestly like you could be like oh i get that like you someone could think that i'm florida baby yeah but i don't know for whatever reason he rubs me the wrong way i've always heard that and some people i i like him i mean he's he's he's so big and he's like it's just it's like i don't know what do you like i don't know but when do we do we do that we just like justify people being annoying because they're big guys have you met jordan i don't think it's going to be great like i don't think it's going to be great it's going to be great no it's not no it's going to be great i think you know what he's going to tell me how [ __ ] easy golf is that's for sure yeah he's going to like i could have busted these guys i was listening to your guys podcast the other day couldn't agree more andrew that i can uh easily could be zero that's what i'm saying he gets it a guy like jordan gets it you know man i'd like to meet larry yeah i yeah i would love to meet larry david did you you didn't uh meet him no no i've never met him uh jerry or larry would love to meet him uh big big fans larry that'd be cool jerry's grit dude i can see putting later it's true jerry jers is true stand up comic that's what i love jay leno true stand-up comics stuck with it still does shows still a road dog that guy could do what everyone look at letterman letterman ain't doing all that stuff that's the thing with letterman you know everybody's talking about letterman and leno and everybody like letterman more than leno letterman was the strictest human being alive you had to have a suit he banned bill hicks forever you couldn't disappoint him leno was like a true comic i'm here to help the comedians i'm here to like i'm open and i'm doing road shows yeah and then never gave up i love someone that doesn't turn their back on stand up when they make it they don't they they go no i'm this is what this is why i'm here i'm only here because of this yeah this is what i love seinfeld's that all those people are that that's why i love the guys that stick with it and they don't and they die stand-up comics if you meet seinfeld he doesn't go i'm an actor from a tv show he goes i'm a stand-up comic leno's a stand-up comic he doesn't know i hosted tonight's show yeah letterman he doesn't say that i mean he's letterman he's like oh i'm a tv talk show i like the guys that stick with it yeah i didn't i mean i never really watched letterman but i didn't really uh i don't know i always kind of liked leno more but i never subscribed to like oh it's cool to like letterman he's the more meta guy that was like very cool i think he had very funny i didn't watch it took that over as well yeah and then i don't know the conan thing i always thought he was hilarious but i always thought the interview was about conan no matter who he was talking yeah and i thought it was kind of cool that leno was like deferential to the guess yeah yeah letterman would make it about letterman but in the funniest way if he didn't have interest in a guest he couldn't fake it that guy don't have them all yeah i remember but i think that's why people liked it because it was like watching tom cruise's ex-wife dating katie holmes he had her on the show yeah answer some questions about batman he's clearly not interested and then he goes all right now let's talk about the real reason i brought you on this show yeah and then he starts asking questions about tom cruise and that's just such a funny like let's stop pretending we give a [ __ ] about your movie yeah yeah leonard was very very funny in that ass aspect of it i just always thought it was everybody was so like trashing leno it was just always fun to be like well i think they saw him as a sellout because he used to be absolutely hysterical and then they saw him as like more of a uh corporate uh shill if you will he's like i'm gonna go take a tonight show job say again who's not gonna take the tonight i wouldn't do the tonight show now uh well now's i mean this is when tonight's show is the biggest thing on earth when he takes it right uh so but like who if someone offered you a talk show on something i don't know like i don't know i mean it's just so different now yeah it's different but yeah i mean there's just certain you said you wouldn't do netflix either and you did that i'm alive maybe you wouldn't i'm hypocritical yeah right now you're gonna end up hosting this night show would you do because you're now you get that is that how you get stuff you're like i would never do no nature shut the [ __ ] up this is how it works bro yeah i know y'all edited that out i'm not even in the picture anymore no i um yeah i don't know i guess i don't know i mean it's okay to want somebody to continue the comic that you like them yeah as like for example a lot of people like you because you're clean and then all of a sudden you flip and you go dirty there might be people go you know might as well see dirty and then you might defend it by being like look i got a show on [ __ ] hbo they wanted me to be dirty and then now i got to be dirty now and they'll be like all right well i'm allowed to not like you because you changed who you are yeah i liked you for this reason you're no longer that so that's why i don't like you i think that was the relationship with leno to a lot of people i never knew him as a stand-up before that yeah right but i i heard he was [ __ ] killing like murder that's the stories always yeah and like i weirdly love him for the car show i watch hours of his car show on youtube he became a youtuber yeah it's the most amazing transition he went from he went from the tonight show host to a [ __ ] youtuber never spend his tonight show money is what they always say yeah yeah live off the stand-up money and then just put that somewhere pretty wild wild i i don't know i i always i was like but i do i'm okay with people like uh changing their tune on someone if that person changes who they are yeah you know i'm fine with that too like if they if they want to if they that's why you want to stick to what you do like there's not there's too many times where you know i remember like howard stern always talked about that with napoleon dynamite that actor yeah but being like yeah go do that again man he's like no i'm not doing that now you're like well that's why we like you and then cause that's the thing like that's what he was yeah like that was uh that was such a random occurrence that that guy ended up playing himself like so i don't think he wrote the [ __ ] movie right he was just the actor yeah but somebody wrote a movie and then there just existed that human being and then he like that's nuts yeah like yeah it's not often you just write a random kind of borderline spectrum well it's definitely spectrumed out character and then they exist and then they [ __ ] murder it yeah but if that's who you are you can't really change that like he's not gonna go be in a [ __ ] drama mclovin didn't be he wasn't mclovin again and yeah where's mclovin yeah his name he's mclovin he's mclovin isn't that weird though that like that happens like you have these characters they get typecast and then like they do like a few movies and then they fall off and people like yeah he's done it's like no no they were like the star of movies like that's really awesome movies yeah like how many people are in film like the stifler character was so [ __ ] funny do you know what you know like he was just so he like curated this character out of nowhere he just made this up he invented that's not who he is he just invents his character it's incredible it makes us laugh at all these different movies and then it stops making us laugh and then his career is over but like he's not some loser like the guy was a [ __ ] superstar yeah a little bit but that's how he saw we talked about sandler you're like sandler just does him i love it like and then he goes and he did uncut gems and he's done a couple like other kind of crazy things while i let him know he could act he'll do one of those he's great that's like just wearing like a real nice watch but you're like i'm doing all right dude yeah like you know you got don't worry about what's going on over here all right i'll pay for this uh like yeah he does like that kind of thing but he builds his own yeah that's what's great they build it is with what you're doing here and the new kind of way is like it's it is like we you're building your own world you can't have to wrap your head around where you can start going like all right if i start you know you think about that sometimes you're like with you know yeah with specials and all this you're like well if they're here to see my special like how do i get you got to get everybody to switch yeah or if you're like well what if i did do this but you like you do it you're like i'll put it out myself yeah because it's like it's my thing yeah and then you know not saying i'm doing that but it's like uh i was a very always a mainstream guy yeah so i was very you know i was never i never did good like i'm still not going to this rock venue like i needed my audience like it was like he needs to be the main comedy club in town yeah like they were never going to find the other club i mean they will they'll go wherever you go but like i subscribe to that too i don't want to do comedy in a comic book store i want to do comedy in the place that it's supposed to be done yeah you're coming into my home that's how i feel at a comedy club i feel like it's my home yeah and you're a guest yeah if i go do like the weird off-site thing i feel like i'm i guess yeah yeah and i like it being my home yeah do you like theaters yeah i love the sound i love the behavior i love like that and like when you first walk on and there's 2 000 people you're just like what is this like what is what is happening it's show business it feel it feels the most like show business there's union guys there's yeah yeah yeah yeah people are signing it we i've talked like you always feel uh we've talked about like uh an imposter feeling like you ever when you go on you feel you're like who are these people here to see no you know they're there to see you no i don't have yeah that is something i haven't struggled with and entertainment but i hear a lot of people talk about yeah but i don't i've only struggled that with fame not with entertainment yeah yeah so like initially getting some fame early when i did the mtv stuff i felt like i had to be funny like i was on the show to a stranger to justify where i was yeah i wasn't comfortable enough with it but the idea of like going up and and entertaining a group of people in the way that like i i'm not lying about who i am like who i am is who i am so it's not gonna be a surprise yeah you know what i'm saying like that's new york this is it's like good for him but no but like i'm not allowed to be in that [ __ ] new york is like i think that new york this is no other you know but i think it's like uh it's funny it's like it's the it's the personality of i wonder if it's like being a new yorker like that's you are very confident uh i i think like when you vote like you're very it's yeah you're just you're the biggest pond i think yeah well there's a confidence to it that's like you're you're friend you're from there dude like you're not like it's not like someone's like i live there you're like yo dude i'm from here yeah you grew up there when it was terrible and like uh and it was like so you're there's like a i don't know there's a different i think i do think about this with home turf and i i said this to you a couple times like when i i've been in new york for like 13 years now so yeah a little different but before when i would go back to dallas i feel so confident dude i grew up here i know this yeah any show here is like bro i know this [ __ ] i'm so confident and this is not to take away from your work ethic or talent or humor in any way but being able to grow up in new york is another advantage in addition to it is everything else you do you're like yo i know this place this is my place i think it is a huge advance i think i think that i've always looked at you know comedy is like this um combination of like extreme confidence and extreme insecurity and like the insecurity drives your ability to get better and the confidence has to be enough where you feel like the things you say should be said out loud yeah because there'll be times i remember like like it's always at the strip for some reason like i'll be at the comic strip and then i'll be like waiting to go on and i'll be like what is this oh yeah like why am i what is this like why am i i love this show i actually love performing this trip but like for whatever reason every once in a while i have this and i'll be like why am i why are we talking to people like what is this art yeah like that i just go on stage and i say things why is this funny why is this why are they laughing no no not necessarily why are they laughing like why is this a why does this exist why does this people pay money to go like watch someone make them laugh it's it's like it's the uh it's the i guess art version of you know when you say a word enough and it just doesn't make any sense oh yeah it's that for the art like what is this thing that we are doing right yeah and why does this exist and then you go on stage you know just get into it and all of a sudden it makes sense but i'll have those like little little feelings but i think that that insecurity like i have to be my harshest [ __ ] critic i have to be like [ __ ] sucked you can be better at that you can get more efficient with your words and all that kind of stuff but i have to be confident where i should say it because i think a lot of people i was talking about buddy mine this weekend like he never even imagines himself having uh people who support him so he's not even trying to solve the problem of how to get his stuff out to them he's trying to solve the problem of is my stuff even worth it for them to listen to so you wouldn't even put it out exactly like you knew you were gonna be you yeah you're a humble dude but you also knew you were gonna do this yeah yeah yeah yeah so you have the confidence it's like that you you know and you have to i'm talking about there i'm talking about you specifically like i i'm wrong to say that you didn't if you imagined this going kind of like this like yeah but i always said i did i wanted it but i i never let my goal my dreams or goals i never let them get too far from where i was at at that time so i never wanted anything too far i never wanted to be like like i right now i can tell you i want to be able to sell out the madison square gardens i want to yeah but at that when i was younger i never let myself get too far because the farther your dream was or goal was the harder you're feeling it's too you can't reach it i'm just i'm handing out flyers yeah so it's stupid to go one day i'm going to be selling out the garden well there do you know how many steps there is before you get to that yeah i'll never i'll never get there because it it'll get too daunting but if i'm handing those fires out and i go i don't want to have to stand on this corner well that's something i can get so then once you get it then you're you're you just keep doing then you're like i don't want to i have to stand at the door i want to go up i want to go up whenever i want to go up i want me to walk in you know the biggest thing especially for us new york comics is hop in popping in that like everybody always did that to us and all you think is and i remember like when comics would get mad they're like why aren't they popping you're like how do you not just want to do that like you're like you're like yeah dude like i look at when chapelle comes in you're like i want to be chappelle i want to be able to walk in and that's the reason there's three shows yeah because they never know who the [ __ ] is going to pop in it's not for us yeah is yeah as opposed to you i never i never understood but i hear what you're saying though yeah keep goals that always think that i would compartmentalize i'd almost treat like college like when i go to college like i want to graduate but at the same time i understand i have to take this class right now yeah so this is the this is what i'm doing for this amount of money and your goals changed what's interesting is like who you so we're it's comm is very competitive yeah and so you're you're first you hate everybody that gets everything you're mad about everything and then you just watch those names kind of go away yeah so then your competition you're just watching it kind of change you're like it's it's beginning at so many people and then you kind of you get confident and you get comfortable go like i know i'm kind of past that point and then you're there's a new group and then there's a new group and so you just kind of keep rising up and you start going like huh like who you're trying to get above gets smaller like you're not there's not that many people that you're like now you're looking at it going like all right like i'm going after eight guys or something yeah versus i wouldn't before it was small like even new york i would look at i'd be like well how many guys are funny i know this sounds crazy but like if we're being our honest selves right now i know but everybody was getting stuff i'm just saying you you would know that like you if you didn't get something and someone else did you're like you're kind of mad at everybody getting stuff no yeah i think yeah i think no one's funny like you know like it's like how do i be funnier than these few people that i think are hilarious why are they getting that and i'm not i don't ever wonder about the getting [ __ ] oh i i did that's i got some stuff i mean i was upset that i wasn't getting stuff in stand-up but i was like i i knew how to get it i was just not going to sacrifice what i want to do yeah because i was like i know if i do what i want to do you all got mtv i got mtv early i just never got anything with stand up yeah and i was just like i know what to do to get it like i saw what the guys are doing to get it and i'm just like i don't want to do that and i know that this is what a large group of people want so i'm gonna find a way to eventually get it to them i didn't know what the [ __ ] it was but like i knew eventually they'll see it because we the proof is in the pudding like you get to go up you get to go up with the guy that got the thing you didn't get and you get to follow him or go before him yeah so you know what time we all know what time it is yeah like there's a lot of you know everybody could talk to [ __ ] at the end of the day it's the same stage yeah and we're all gonna go up yeah and we know who's going to be funny do you mean like a tonight like a tonight show you would be like never cared about tonight's show okay but as an example if you're if you wanted the tonight show and you're like we're all over here auditioning to get on tonight's show you looked at it as like well i'll figure a way to where then the night show's going to invite me on yeah like i would say you're going to go you're like it doesn't matter how i get there i'll get there do another what would the best version of me on the tonight show be okay he's on the way to do that yeah it's like a sitting down on being a guest to panic because i would see guys and i'd be like oh nate is going to murder on the tonight show because i think we've even had this conversation weirdly enough like like oh because when nate goes on tonight show he's going to do jokes that are going to be similar to when people see him after watching him the tonight show yeah and then i'd see guys that i know [ __ ] murder then go do this like neutered version of themselves on the tonight show and i was like well i don't want them to see that and i was so i said to myself i was like i'm not doing the tonight show unless i organically have five minutes that happens to be clean enough for the tonight show and works yeah and if i organically have it i'll start to put it together and cut things here and blah blah blah i'll sew it together but i'm not going to force it for this thing that i don't really care like i don't watch [ __ ] the tonight show yeah you know yeah and um and that's kind of how i always i've always looked at it but i had the guys that i thought were brilliant and brilliant for different reasons and they showed me what i was lacking and they showed me the things that i needed to improve on and i would just have hyper focus about that and it could be like skill things it could be personality things it could be tone like you know guys like you were saying earlier with like burr like he could he set the tone in the [ __ ] room i would always focus on who changes the room yeah who who changes the [ __ ] energy in the room yeah when i walk off i want the energy to be different yeah you know what i'm saying like well it's like that's when they don't know that's the when they don't know you there's nothing better when they do when they don't know you and then they're like what what the [ __ ] that's the greatest thing ever yeah yeah yeah yeah there's something and you still have it now when even though when people come to see you because you you're always going to get compared to really the kind of how they found you yeah so for me like the tennessee kid on netflix is like i'm always kind of compared to that yeah yeah so you got to be better what did that one of the cool things about stand up though compared to well i guess maybe music is similar in this regard but like like i can listen to an album like a song and i can just love the [ __ ] song i think it's amazing right stand up if you're killing in person is always twice three times four times as good oh yeah so like if they see the special and they're laughing they don't even know what's gonna happen in person like you know what i mean when you're murdering in a crowd you know when you you can hear them doing so good and it's early you're like dude i'm not even too much there's there's nothing that's like the only time like i'll like it's like you kind of come out of this like you kind of start laughing or smiling on stage because you're like i can't believe this is doing this like there are you can't believe it but this crowd's so good and you're like dude i am murdered like you just feel it and there's it's it's an amazing that's why the musicians want to always be there's always that we want they want to be comedians comedians want to be rock stars because i want to feel what it feels like to i don't know music always makes me i'm a little annoyed with it because they like they get a you know they can just write one song and yeah i have no interest in being a rock star but i can see why they'd want to be us you want to feel it i would want to build a crowd of like you know you watch those videos like where they're they're singing the song back to them and you're like that's pretty wild like yeah and you did this song one time and they want to hear it a thousand i do a joke one time you hear it once you're like it's over that shelf life is so short for you when we were in nashville we wrote a country song yeah yeah right and um with some like super talented guys like jelly roll and there's a guy i don't even know if we're allowed to say his his name on it but he's like a you know like a really established kind of country and and when when i went up and did shows at west palm beach we like play the song it's like a fun time and and the [ __ ] crowd knew the song and as i was going on stage and they we all sang like the last thing and i was like oh this [ __ ] is different bro like it's a different thing now i've also went up with that song and nobody knew the lyrics and that's worse than bombing yeah that is [ __ ] painful dude but when they know it yeah it's it's cool i mean think how cool happy birthday is yeah like even when it's not your birthday when you're singing somebody happy birthday everybody's on it yeah yeah it is it is a but i do get how that could probably get it's not the same as because laughing is you know when they're gonna laugh but it's always a little different it's always a little kind of like you know you basically kind of know you know where the joke is so you obviously know like yeah yeah i always think i'll think that too how crazy it is in my head that you write a joke and in my head i could go laugh now yeah and like you just you're looking at a word and you go i know once the last syllable of that word comes out yeah yeah you all laugh and that's so crazy to be like making someone laugh is like not easy it's hard and like and to get it to go i know now yeah and like uh it's pretty wild yeah so i think that's what we get that feeling and we're in control we're up there alone you get no break i always think that's always kind of weird like you never get like a moment like a drummer can just go pee yeah like during the during the yeah like it's crazy to be like can you imagine like just if you're like a drummer could be like i ran to walgreens real fast and grabbed something and you're like you did you're like yeah no one even knows i'm back here dude like it's yeah yeah you know what stand-up is also unique in that like a song is the song like you're gonna sing the song it's gonna crescendo where crescendo is like you can manipulate it a bit like obviously with jazz and stuff you can like stay in a moment but like with stand-up if you like hit a chord like you get to just like yeah keep yourself put on it like yeah i'm gonna tag and i might never do this joke like this again but i'm looking at people in the audience and they are they're they're getting laughed out like you know oh yeah and then you just you can keep keep going yeah and that i don't know what else there that exists in boxing in the most brutal way right like because like once you [Music] but that i think is where we have and that i guess only exists within comics that can kind of like separate themselves from the act a little bit or the exact like words within the bit but that is a special moment like seeing people like just keep on it's it's it's there's nothing better yeah nothing better making someone laugh you just they feel you know how good it feels to laugh yeah make families do that it's uh yeah there's nothing better my mom would always say that she's like you're very lucky i go why she goes uh you do something uh ethical for a living i go what do you mean i like telling joe i'm like stupid i'm not a [ __ ] like doctor or anything like that he's like she's like yeah but you don't have to feel bad about what you do like yeah you make people laugh and they'll like feel good you're not some [ __ ] savior or anything but what you do will make people feel good usually yeah and that's really lucky because you could be like an insurance one of those guys that like makes to see if you get money back for your house or not yeah you know i was like it was your fault you left the door open for the flood you get like that's someone's job sorry yeah so we would make fun of that guy why'd you leave the door open this is also like that guy comes to the comedy show just to get away and then you're like this idiot got his house flooded he's like this is the opposite of what i wanted anyway nate thank you so much for coming on man we appreciate you uh we support you big fans over here it's great to see what you've carved out for yourself congrats to you guys too you are i love thanking you guys you're building your own that's it your own world it is it is so check out nate on all those places and uh and that's it god bless man

The reveal of who BARTMAN is/was from the Chicago Cubs world series game caught me waay off guard. That was such a great moment in podcast, that came unexpected for me.

Does Schulz realize that John Oliver is married to an American Republican Iraq war veteran from Virginia? I get disagreeing with his views or disliking his show, but I do believe John actually cares about America. Noah's a different story.

He says he ain't racist but he can't look and talk to Akaash...even when Akaash said Nate was one of his most favorite. 🤣
