Without getting two in depth and alienating the people who don't give a fuck about Hollywood and how it runs. What is the overall gripe Brian that you think that their mistake they're making over and over that we are not making like we are now because I have your brain incepted into mine, and Chris too, Chris also is of your same thinking. It's adjusted the way I do things, even though I was maybe airing on the other side of things, and it's the wrong way to do it. Tell me about it.

Okay, this is controversial, and maybe I'll get in trouble for saying this, and I don't think I will. And this has nothing to do with the fact that Trump just got elected.

I just want to be clear, but.

I just want to be clear, but.

Truly, for about the last fifteen years, Hollywood and comedy only and I can't speak to not comedy, but Hollywood felt that making political statements with being the first blank or breaking this ceiling or doing something with this type of person was more important than making something that people wanted to watch. And for about six they're a six year span where there was enough like liberal support for that that people would watch it even if they didn't really like it. They would just support it, and that is ending. And what happened was when comedy became that in the industry, there was this void of comedy mostly for white men. I'm a white man, mostly for white men, that the industry was not filling. And so that comedy went to the Internet, and all of a sudden, there was this explosion.

All of a sudden, all of a sudden, stand, all of a sudden. It's everyone. People say it all the same time. They say all the sudden, And I would never correct you if you were a dumb person.

Maybe this is why Jennifer Garner moment where she's like, actually going in that's not a real word, and then they look it up and he's like, yes, okay, go on, Brian. Sorry.

So then comedy went to the Internet and there and podcast came and podcasts and there was because because Hollywood did not serve it serving those people, these white men and others. Apparently now that they're Trump's been elected, apparently it's also Latito man and an Asian man or whatever. But that's the problem is dicing up people into these groups and thinking that you can pander to these individual groups and give them like like, if you're a woman, you just want to see a show about a powerful woman being tackling women's issues.

And it's like, that's not true. You just want to a good show.

And it's like, that's not true. You just want to a good show.

I gotta be honest, Like, I think women don't want to see that. Like I I'm speaking for myself, but when I'm going through a hard time in my life and I need TV to soothe me, I don't want to see someone like living their best life and like doing things like I don't want inspiration. I want kind of like depression porn, you know, Like I want things to validate the state that I'm in. I want things I don't want to. I don't want to watch aspirational things.

Or did you like Handmaid's Tale?

Or did you like Handmaid's Tale?

No? Actually, I was too disturbed by it. It was too real. I just saw the first episode and I've based everything I know off the show based on that one episode. I just didn't like. I didn't like how like good Men were like, oh it's weird, I'm getting your money. Well that's crazy. Paige I don't like this either, Like it felt like kind of the vibe post Trump, where it was like women were all really upset and men were kind of like, yeah, I'm sorry, and you're just like you should be even more mad, but it's like, whoa, it's so weird that your money isn't in mine. Now, well, maybe we'll look into this, and then they don't, and then they find off. I was just kind of feeling like, oh, that's kind of the vibe of like they're mad but not mad enough, and now I'm completely numb to everything, like I don't. My mom's like, guess who's the oh gos? She picked up her phone last night, Who the fuck is McMahon some wrestling person? And she and I go, I don't care anymore. I literally you could tell me Kid Rock is the Secretary of Defense. I don't care. I am done. I've given up, like I've turned I've turned off my brain. I was saying on girls Chut today that I felt like this country was a had like term you know, has terminal cancer, and was like stage three or four around the election, and now it's it's definitely there's no word off chemo. We're not trying anymore, and we're just waiting for it to die. And I I'm just gonna enjoy it while I have it. I'm not gonna like bitch about it anyway. I just I just you know, I'm just gonna lean into it's great for me. It's sixty five degrees November twentieth in Saint Christ, Missouri. It's like, this is kind of awesome. I don't have fucking kids. I don't have I don't. I'm just gonna stop. I'm gonna turn off my empathy for a couple months because I can't really handle it, and I gotta focus on work, and I don't really have time to give a fuck about at all the atrocities of the world.

I just don't.

I just don't have time for it. I I can't do it. So just muting.

I just don't have time for it. I I can't do it. So just muting.

You're gonna wake up every day and be upset every single day about something that you have no control over.

You're gonna wake up every day and be upset every single day about something that you have no control over.

I just said, Mom, put down the phone, like doctor Oz. I don't, of course, doctor Oz. Of course it's doctor. It seems like an Onion article or an Onion headline. It's not anymore. It's we're living in the onion and I I am just enjoying the rock.

He is in charge of the geological survey.

He is in charge of the geological survey.

Because he because his name has rock in it. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, I think that with comedy, it's like I think you're absolutely right, Like Chris is always and you know, when we were working on my past two specials, any kind of moment where I'm kind of like, you know, ladies, or like, you know, just kind of angry at men in general, which I've never really am, it's always like I'm almost like I wasn't playing into that vibe or trying to serve that like wokeness. It was just like it was almost saying it ironically at sometimes at some points in my set where I would just kind of make the easy joke about like about throwing men under the bus or or being like it's so hard to be a woman like, and he just very gently was like, I gotta be honest, like I don't want to listen to this stuff. We already know it. It just turns me off. And if you want, if I'm gonna have to listen to you complain about so and so is selling out this place and other that guy is selling out this place and I'm not or any kind of complaint you have comparing yourself to people who don't make these kinds of bold statements or these kind of woke statements. You're choosing to alienate people that would sell out those places by saying this stuff, these little, like cutting, little remarks. So that was not easy to hear. And it was like a little bit of like, oh, so you're gonna silence me and you're gonna let this is the fucking patriarchy at play right now. It I heard it, But I also was like, you know what, the people that buy tickets to my shows don't need to be scolded about who they are. It's actually one of the parts about comedy I hate more than anything is when you group a whole group together and you like the tribalism of like you're all like this. Like even when I get into the stuff about like dads don't do as much as moms, I always reiterate dads. I am not mad at you. I am not saying men step it up. There's no part of me that wants that these are just the gender roles. I'm just pointing out that it is. There is a disparity, but I'm not being like, what the fuck like that's why I'm choosing not to be a mom, because I know the roles and I don't want that role, like I would want the dad role. That sounds good. And I'm not shitting on you by saying it's easier than being a mom. I'm just I'm trying to make fun of the fact that these are the gender roles, not that you are somehow, you know, holding us back or whatever. Like I have to reiterate that because I truly believe that, Like, it's not a dad's fault that he's expected to do less, it's just it just is the way it is.

Because he because his name has rock in it. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, I think that with comedy, it's like I think you're absolutely right, Like Chris is always and you know, when we were working on my past two specials, any kind of moment where I'm kind of like, you know, ladies, or like, you know, just kind of angry at men in general, which I've never really am, it's always like I'm almost like I wasn't playing into that vibe or trying to serve that like wokeness.

And also, not every joke has to become a huge thing where you're making a statement about the patriarchy. It can be just you're just joking around about this. And like, I feel like even Ali was watching this a movie that came out in twenty seventeen or something about Billy Jean King, and did you know this story about how.

Billy Jean King Battle of the Sexes? Yeah, the Battle of the Sexes? Do you know that story? I don't know very vaguely, so I think it was the seventies.

Billy Jean King Battle of the Sexes? Yeah, the Battle of the Sexes? Do you know that story? I don't know very vaguely, so I think it was the seventies.

But back in the seventies there was this like quote unquote misogynistic man who said that there's no way that a woman could be a man in tennis?

But back in the seventies there was this like quote unquote misogynistic man who said that there's no way that a woman could be a man in tennis?

This is like my cursory knowledge of things that I should know more about.

Okay, yes, anyway, I don't want to butcher this.

Okay, yes, anyway, I don't want to butcher this.

But it was this huge event in the seventies where there was like a misogynistic man versus a feminist woman and they're gonna have a tennis match. And there were two matches, and I don't want to spoil it, but uh, there were two matches and they had different outcomes. But in the lead up to these events, the misogynistic man was being ultra misogynistic on purpose to like juice up the events, and like the wrestling match, and Billy Jean King was also rolling with the punches and being like, oh.

You think women need to be in the kitchen.

You think women need to be in the kitchen.

He's like, women should be in the kitchen pregnant, barefoot, not playing tennis, and she's like, yeah, well, you know, men should have their dick cut off or whatever. And it was fun and everyone was saying it with like a little bit of like a tongue in cheek.

We're having a good time.

They had the tennis match and if you I mean ultimately Billy Jean and King came out on top and no one was like, this is such a this is horrible that they were even talking this way.

It was just fun.

And that's what I feel like we should return to is being like not everything has to be so incredibly serious, where everything is an indictments a lot.

And that's what I feel like we should return to is being like not everything has to be so incredibly serious, where everything is an indictments a lot.

Of societety what.

That's why the the that's why people aren't watching those shows like.

That's why the the that's why people aren't watching those shows like.

Well, that's why clapter became a thing rather than laughter. Like with in comedy, like you would just say a statement that people would feel like I got I got to agree with this the and they would clap and that it would almost take the It almost seemed to the naked eye that it was this person's killing because they're getting an applause break. But it's just like they had nothing else. They couldn't laugh, they had to do something, so that's what they did with it, and it happens all the time. It's like makes TV unwatchable. I can't take clapping anymore. Like I I love thank you so much to people who make TikTok videos and reels where you take out the laughter and the clapping, because I can't watch stand up because of all the fucking applause breaks and just like showmanship of just like basking in, we don't I don't need to see that shit. I can determine myself. I'm not at home standing up clapping. Let's just get through it. Let's get to the next joke. I don't need to see you being so grateful that everyone showed up to Radio City or wherever the fuck you are, Like, I don't care. And I love when they when you watch these clips and I go, God, why is this suddenly watchable for me?

Oh?

Oh?

Because they took out all of that. Like there are some shows that I would I would venture to guess. I don't want to call out one show because it's a friend of mine, but their show is probably fifty percent clapping at least, and I would like to someday with Chris Timett because it's it's one of these things that I I always just do ten seconds ahead every single time he hits a punchline because I know that it's going to be, oh, well, you know what, I changed the gender when I'm talking shit about people all the time, and no one ever notices.

Well that's what happened shows.

Well that's what happened shows.

Well, I don't care. I love Jimmy Kimmel and I am so grateful for his show, especially the week after he won, Like I was just waiting every night to see what Jimmy would say because I just felt like Jimmy has such a big heart and really put his self on the line by taking a huge stance on things, and I just felt like, you know, he'll he's the one that's gonna pay the price if Trump really has his way with like you know what I mean, Like he put his neck out there and is really extremely brave. I wrote him an email being like, thank you so much, because I really felt that way. I was like, I it was the only thing that week that made me feel better was watching his show. And yeah, it's just it must have been hard to make shows that week. And I you know, I haven't like kept up with things, but I'm always I'm such a huge fan. I love that Jimmy Kimmel is political.

I don't.

I don't.

I'm not talking about his show at all, obsessed I do.

I'm not talking about his show at all, obsessed I do.

I do want to say it goes both ways too. It's not just woke comedians doing like woke things with the applause that's cringe. It's also people on the right who are just like repeating Fox News talking points as their comedy, which is also cringe.

I do want to say it goes both ways too. It's not just woke comedians doing like woke things with the applause that's cringe. It's also people on the right who are just like repeating Fox News talking points as their comedy, which is also cringe.

It's like, the the point of a comedian.

It's like, the the point of a comedian.

Is not to just buttress your political point of view. It's to make unique observations and make people laugh and.

Is not to just buttress your political point of view. It's to make unique observations and make people laugh and.

Like you get.

Like you get.

George Carlin was very political and almost everything he talked about and and I loved it.

George Carlin was very political and almost everything he talked about and and I loved it.

Those were unique point of views. Those were his ideas.

Those were unique point of views. Those were his ideas.

Yeah, like it didn't he didn't seem to be straddling like any line.

Yeah, like it didn't he didn't seem to be straddling like any line.

It was just kind of like, you know, yeah, he hated both sides, Yeah exactly.

It was just kind of like, you know, yeah, he hated both sides, Yeah exactly.

Sure, well he would attack both sides, but he also he was he had his own unique perspective on things, and that's I think what a joke is.

Well, and instead of getting laughs, they're getting applause.

And it's not renewed for season two yet I just looked it up.

And it's not renewed for season two yet I just looked it up.

It really that is a travesty because it is an instant hit. It is so fucking strong. It just makes me think of how many strong shows are out there that just don't make it. Like I have so many friends who are like, one of the best scripts I ever read wrote in my life, like it almost got made and then it didn't, and I go, well, where is it? What wasn't that fifteen years ago? Why don't you drudge it up again? Why can't we get that back out there, like so many things, so much. I remember learning my freshman year of college at University of Colorado was the only class I ever retained any information from that in a psychology class I took. But this one was about television and he was telling he was like, how many pilots do you think it made a year? And we all like guess and he was like, or get written a year and like considered and read and we were all like twenty five and he was like it was like five hundred to one thousand, and he goes, how many do you think get made? And then we were like, I don't know ten and he was like, no, like seventy. I mean this is two thousand and three. And he's like, and how many of those shows actually go to to air?

Uh?

Uh?

It was like five? And then how many of those become a friends one every six years? It's like it's it's it blew my mind. But there's within that, there's so many scripts that are just would have been the next Seinfeld, would have been the next Curve, would have been the next thirty Rock that just never see the light of day because it was just the wrong time. They just had a show already with that kind of setting, or they couldn't find the right lead for it, or he was you know, had a deal with someone else. It's like, I just think it's so weird in this business that if us, if something doesn't you've had things almost go and then that thing is dead. You can never bring it back out again.

Here's what's infuriating is in despite every all those numbers you just said, think about all of the horrible shows that do make it to air. It's like, how did that get filtered through a process of thousands to make it too serious?

Sometimes and then sometimes not. Sometimes it's like a random piece of shit. Now, I do think that like to make a to make a show good, like, there is an infinite number of things that can go wrong, and even if you are like you have an amazing script, an amazing idea. Like there's a thousand different factors that go into making a show good or bad, and if any one of those things goes wrong, if it's an exec, if it's a prop person, if it's anything, if it's the title, then you could wind up having a piece of shit show. So it is like, I understand how these shit shows make it to air. But yeah, no, I agree. It's like we don't need writers, don't really need to write anything anymore.

There are dig up old scripts. Take them to have cell phones in them, there are to put the I mean, okay, we got to go to break. We'll come back after this time. We won't talk about TV anymore because I know some people are gonna be like, enough, right, we'll be back up for this. Oh what do we have to talk about it? Besides is cheerie? Anything going on in your guys' lives? I got my mine's pretty boring over here. It's just been like, wake up, go to Starbucks, walk my dog, go to the park. Oh my dog almost got hit by a car today. That was terrifying. I don't know what to do because I like letting her off leash. It's like there's a huge fields for her to run. She goes, she gets out of the card and she goes like zipping, and then she gets so much energy out chasing squirrels. And she just got a little bit far away from me because I let her go. And she never runs in the street, like she just knows stay in grass. But then she got us. She saw a squirrel and she had to chase that dragon, and she just went across the street. And my you know, I held my breath just being like Nikki, if you lose her, this is your fault and you can live with the consequences like this is you know. I like was like ready to lose my dog and watch my dog get run over, and she didn't, and I was I screamed so loud my throat hurt afterwards because I was just like OK. And then I felt so dumb, like how can I let that happen? And I can never let that happen again. But I don't really know how to prevent it, because that is our favorite thing to do, is go and I will just chase her more. Every time she goes and runs, I will chase her so I'll be close to her so that she never gets by the road. That's my new catch up to her. She's she's usually like I can let her go pretty far and she always comes back to me and never goes in the street. We've been doing this, I mean, we've probably done this fifty sixty times, going to this area of the park. And this is the first time that a squirrel just got her to the edge. And then that squirrel darted across the street, so then she followed, and so I just have to stay. I have a plan now that I'm just not gonna let her get near roads. I just can't. And that because off leash, yes exactly, I know, but dogs don't like to run as much in yards as they do when it's like an open field, you know what I mean, Like you let a dog out in the backyard and it just stands there because the same smells over and over. Yes, it needs new smells. Yeah. I And on the least, she just doesn't know how to behave on a leasion. I'm trying to train her. It's just a fucking you know.

But I mean, this is what people are doing because it's so terrifying to go with the doctor because you don't know what you're gonna get, you don't know the bill that's going to proceed. You just like you can't anticipate fucking anything anymore. And it's like if people are terrified to go to the doctor because of all the expenses that they're just even my sister the other day has a pinch nerve and I and she goes, I'm I'm going to the chiroprocture today. I'm like, okay, sweet, I'll meet you there. Because I'm kind of obsessed with watching YouTube videos of like muscle manipulation stuff, so I was like, I'm going to see it live. I was like, I'm here for YouTube Live and I walked in and I got to see her get an exam and it was like so ASMR. I like loved it so much, but she's in so much pain, the poor thing. But she just told me, I'm just doing this because I am just trying to like work around the medical system. She was like, I'm just trying to do anything that doesn't get me near a hospital with all the costs. Like at least this is like upfront about costs, like you know exactly what you're getting, and shout out to Cairo One on Lindall near the Schnooks. They were so it was it was like in a strip mall, and I was like, what is this going to be? But the guy who was her physician was so thorough, so kind, so empathetic, so like was didn't recognize me or anything like was not was almost putting on a show of like teaching us about out alignment and all these enligaments and different showing us different diagrams. But like it was just the kind of attention to detail that like made me feel so good about the world and like, oh my god, there's still some people in the medical profession that are still passionate about what they do and and really want to help people because you just read so many stories about doctors being dismissive of women's pain and men's pain too. It's you guys as well, but just like not getting it. I mean, the horror story of your medical bullshit that you've had to deal with, Brian, that was only made your too tooth pain only came out of you of malpractice, of someone misaligning your filling and setting your whole jaw off kilter, and then you not saying anything because you didn't really feel comfortable saying something, and you did, but they kind of dismissed it. It's like it's it's a nightmare. So it was just like, actually this place really made me feel so good. I was like, I texted my mom immediately, I'm like, I want to get you in with this guy. He's legit. Anyway, what did you say, No, sir, Well, I was saying, what happened.

Dentistry is maybe like a false profession. I don't believe in dentistry anymore. I don't think that they actually help. I think getting cleanings helps. I think getting cavity fillings helps to a degree. But like everything else that they do, it feels like it's a bunch of quackery, like they don't even know what the fuck they're doing.
