Transcript

0:00 five four three two one live and we're live mr. Carmichael hello my friend mr. What the fuck is going on, man? And he just feels like real zen and this is his, that's how I feel emotionally right now. It's really great. lee directed your specials like what like what the fuck is happening over at the comedy store you know I'd be like, ah, it's too big.

2:18 Those have been some fun spots to watch just when Brody's just, that was like, I used to, freaky spots. Yeah, man. Yeah, it's like Brody times I've ever seen anybody say on stage. like two days later their milk Dude, right after September 11th, Mitzi wouldn't let him go on stage. there and he's never been a professional he's always had a job he's always been

4:50 fucking rich famous motherfuckers heckling me boom oh wow he gets knocked out by oh it was that When I go, it's usually at whatever, whatever 1 a.m. shit. I love it. It's perfect. Yeah. Oh, a little bit of sadness in there. It's perfect. Just being like, why am I sad? just like kind of like Who's ghost? You think for real? Like some of the sets. Yeah, well, they filmed that strip show

7:55 Just he just said the footage is crazy. right that was the name of the company i think so off of like crenshaw or something over there prior back then he was doing something that it's like he had figured out a thing that he could do mean like to you it's like you can feel how personal how honest it is and like so when it When did he die? Okay, so it was more than I thought.

11:26 It would take forever. And just eat shit. You know, where it's just like, all right, Richard Pryor's gone, Well, two nights before my first time. I saw the whole show 9 to 2 a.m. these completely different viewpoints. 15-minute chunks. especially with stand-up. you're going up in the OR in the middle of a show, more dynamic version of who you are. Right.

15:36 it should force you to be you specifically you that's needed more than ever And who you are changes depending upon your environment. No, it's great. it changes people too like that's one of the reasons why kinnison became who he was because than you in the OR. Those are three different worlds. Yeah. They really are. Yeah, three completely different energies.

17:03 he is the – that is a style that's just completely created from frustration. It was just raw. It was like really late night. He had this thing that he would do that was very much like a revival tent, like one of those tent preachers. Damn, Jamie. How'd you pull that reference out? the sign at the comedy store. Yeah. He had a gun. He's probably coked out of his mind.

19:31 Yeah. Look at that. Man, they don't even do shit like this no more. Scroll down. That's just someone's comparison. folks yeah like that I colbert's not even they block it's so fucking disrespectful they block shoot these things these like like it's they'll do like 10 comedians at a time and he's not even there and they like And he pretends to throw to you?

22:11 set you come out in front of the same curtain people put on the same outfit that they didn't It used to be worth something. It was an outlet where there weren't a lot of outlets. Like, you know, at least trying. supposed to come to the artist unique to you not the other way around right you know because even They already have an album out. when i'm just not gonna listen to this bullshit no people they change that's the other thing

26:26 No, I get it. This is like the fucking 90s, right, when it actually probably meant something. Like, I get thorough. And it's a very condensed, homogenized version of who you really are. Because it's such not a good representation of what he's capable of. i'm like why are they still a thing when i see a late night show and no disrespect to anybody Yeah, yeah.

29:17 And what they think is going to work. these things i mean look you know anything in function at its best is fun it's just you know Like, I eat that stuff up. too many other venues. to see who the fuck they really are. Oh, it's very like... like i'm just in it and just like looking at it and when the crowd is giving an unnatural reaction This is weird.

32:31 depends on you know what company you work for is uh i mean that's it's an advertiser's medium right I get excited when I see a 15-second one. Yeah, sometimes I'm looking up commercials oh, now I have to sit through this trailer Beautiful body going on stage shirtless. Let's see what a recent poll shows. Not illness. You know what I mean? that's how I get over shit

34:59 it's like wow you got a tumor you mean 50% of all people diagnosed with depression get the Jamar mentality of just like and lows highs and lows deal with this don't deal with you know deal with that deal with the happiness deal with humans like isn't it just highs and lows highs and lows deal Oh, they committed suicide too? Yeah. And then on top of that, compounded, there was like legit mental issues that were bothering him.

38:31 You're right about that. releases a lot of the bullshit that people carry around. That shit kills it for me. man. Yeah. you're just constantly in the state of momentum of all the bullshit that's going on. But if you have a time for real reflection and just pause, Spiritual awakening in his house. He was like, I used to live with him, I was like, Gerard, nigga, I just had an awakening.

41:14 I sit there, cross my legs, in through the nose, out the mouth, 20 minutes to like an hour to fall asleep. really quickly Nothing. it'll be easier to complete that task for me i have add i'm bad at um focusing on things but don't know if it's that you Because you're not tripping, right? You kind of zen already, though. and then all of a sudden your mind starts going into an altered state and then you'll start yeah

44:34 it has this like uh cleansing effect yeah it really make you be like hey man fuck that shit If that's issue. What's a real issue. They can handle real problems. Yeah. It gives context to everything. It's like, well, it's like, you know, by the time you get on stage, you're like, well, Do you guys know very many people who do jiu-jitsu? I'm not worried about it that much.

48:00 Well, rewarded in the sense of like, know you get you can get attention for it you can speak to your respective group They're looking to get outraged. That's And I don't want to confuse that with like, you know. college campus right you know what i mean like like we we get caught up in those things but They just don't fucking work, man. that yoga is supporting white supremacy

50:44 What are we doing? Exactly. really funny what are we doing exactly what You just riff something. Like, yeah, people's... Well, who the fuck invented earrings? I thought that was black girl shit. The fuck are you talking about? They're spitballing. You can't call girls bossy. I mean, nobody... No, it's a word that... It's been around since I was in high school.

54:22 You're a loser. Yeah, he's a good dude. People get upset about it? He's from another country. Were you asking because it's like a- They're a style bender. You don't like it? and they'll start talking about Well, it's hard to have adult arguments if you have forbidden words. I mean, you were saying intention earlier, And I curse around all I say. Any curse word. It's very, she doesn't like it. And I curse around

57:59 fucking kitchen, lady. that like used to just talk shit back to their mom it was so my friend Alex is Patricia wasn't around like it was a single separately yeah but it was always so Yeah, no, I do. exactly how i normally speak around you're an adult longer than you're a kid right you know Yeah, yeah. out with some co-workers and they told a dirty joke or started talking shit like that'll get

1:01:35 And she said, suck my dick and balls. Everyone shut the fuck up. How dare you, Homer Hickman. Look, I could be convinced. How much have you really paid attention to it? You know what I mean? Wait, what's the clue? What's the clue in there? in, he never landed on the surface of the moon. I didn't even see that. and all this fame that they had never experienced their whole life they're they're astronauts they're

1:04:48 like how we went also from wires and they they bounce back up from their feet in this weird way it looks like they're being You can't see their feet. But doesn't that, I mean, even the way he's moving, it's like he's being dangled. was built by the people That's so strange. This is from a movie. where you see these guys fall down You know what I mean? Like the history is there watch this watch that guy stand back up watch this watch how he gets up like he's gotten yanked up

1:08:09 Specific to that. In life? Yeah, play some of this. They just went to the moon and they all looked like they just saw their dad naked. It could be a lot of issues. something they did they did they sure they brought it back a lot yeah they brought back many rocks It was not a moon rock yeah. Just like, rovers are real. little things like it's like you recorded over the original.

1:12:34 And there's plausible reasons for some of the fuck ups. I mean, there are episodes of Blossom being guarded in a vault somewhere in Burbank. Oh, it would make me very happy, too. Yeah. so we can let us ask I don't think they're involved. Bart Seabro. Well, I wanted to sniff them out. And he, what he was convinced was that there was a space race between us and Russia and

1:15:16 And the way he framed it is like the United States had control over what was It was going to air one time on these four networks. Yeah, they broke it down so it looked more and more grainy and fake. But there's so many things. They landed on the moon and then came back seven times. Because I was like, what map All the space shuttle missions, everything.

1:17:46 Yeah. I think he's an Uber driver now. I mean, if you go to the hospital from that punch. Yeah, I mean, it was a lot of weird shit. What makes it weird... It's really funny because I presented it as like, yeah, I don't think we went. This is from a funny thing happened on the way to the moon. What? Yeah. It's a good song. That's up to the law like, I don't know, just

1:21:26 I don't know. Well, no, I'm saying I'm saying like Nixon barbecues with that? how'd it go? Because I don't know we didn't do it. Not enough to, like. from years of like the Van Allen radiation belt But the idea is that there was no shielding to protect them from radiation. There's also photographs that are fucking wonky, lights that go at two different angles.

1:24:16 oh wow is that a space shuttle? Our wrist jobs died so that we could feel its sleekness. I was like, ooh. Well, he's dedicated his whole life to the idea of it. He's thinking about actual real science. What year was that? what the research was exactly, real conspiracies. Never happened. They're going to sacrifice American lives. They're going to kill Americans. They were going to have

1:27:42 That's a good one, too. He says, I'm a patsy. They're walking with him through the courtyard. Look at the shot. Bang. Just walks walking again. Give me some volume. Let me hear this. Get him. You know You know who played it? Geraldo used to be legit, man. And as a comedian, for him to be appearing on this show, Geraldo It's a fucked up video. Well, some of them were released fairly recently.

1:31:47 Yeah. Here comes the spray. Yeah. They assassinated the president and it was caught on film but again if dick gregory didn't get that video footage to geraldo rivera is this in the Yeah. They changed the way parts of the autopsy. But just to not have the files line up, but then release both. And I didn't understand. like super bummed out. I'm like,

1:35:03 bummed out is the worst. I gotta pee. I'm going on stage. Bumped out. I'm at Baltimore Comedy Factory, which is already, you know, just with my style in that club, factory uh you know is a combination that led to like, you know, if who you are in you act is so reliant upon. Yeah. And he was real late, like a half hour late plus, maybe even more. And these people are weeping and crying and they're looking for their dog.

1:37:54 And his neighbor's house is gone. you know did you talk about that? Once I bombed, if I was doing pretty good and then I started bombing, Don't talk to anybody that's depressing. And people, you know, the booker or whatever likes to come in and give you the rundown of the room and whatever. Yeah. Any realness. where they want you to do your bits? Bob and Tom show

1:41:00 got very angry at me expectations are when you go out and you do these things like what people's expectations are like you gotta like you you it's up to you to like change it yeah like to change that thing you can't do the thing You talk? We've all hung around with somebody who said some hilarious shit. Jamar could do it but you know what I mean Brought him to an open mic one time.

1:43:30 He's a funny dude, you know? and then they did like anything and you know what i mean like i think that's kind of the goal like what however you get into it or But a lot of people have the illusion in their mind Oh, yeah. And, you know, while you're up there doing stand-up, somebody who's a professional might drop in. That doesn't take place in music or anywhere else.

1:45:48 A lot of sketchy fucking weirdos You got an intense immune system It's just a grimy joy. went away yeah it was this kind of uh it's kind of miami infusion yeah so i feel like a nightclub Well, they kind of figured it out now. started out there it used to be Oh, yeah. you're stuck in the hallway people walking by yeah okay man let me talk to There's some dude in the hallway going, yo, Gary, let me get a selfie.

1:48:29 Yeah. I haven't gone up. the last time I saw you it's not it's a lot of like i don't know i i'll now right if you go up and you you know uh speak for your group for you speak in this type of way He says, you get on stage and you're like, fuck Trump in Los Angeles and New York City. thoughts come out that fit or if i find a way to do it like a thing that maybe doesn't necessarily

1:52:37 Really? immediacy of that process like a lot i like that is what i was saying what i like about even here you're, let me just find my, If it doesn't match, then not doing it, you know, like and trying to have a vision of what the thing is and just making that. I don't know. There's a lot of fake horse shit going on. There's a lot of that, man. There's a lot of fake horse shit going on.

1:55:00 that there's so many people doing it, Guys are right now really finding their kind of space, right yeah legitimately like if you counted all them up over the first 10 years of your stand-up reaction you know like a lot of things you do So, like, it's so instinctual that you would think it would be more of that, like, following your instinct, following your gut.

1:58:08 You found it. people don't talk about how comfy glass ceilings are. What do you got going on? Do you promote anything? I'm excited for people to see him directed a special did it without an audience without an audience yeah Cause it was like And people are like, what? people were like, what?
