1:41 and Jeremy I was with Jeremy this morning owner of lionard how did he get it so fast he was he was on it he was on it and he was telling me that um Joe Bart Steve David they were just making fun of people in the crowd and it was great it was a fun time did did he get tickets cuz he had noties on what noties oh yeah yeah noties he had the Bell he had the Bell had the Bell he he knew what was up guy smart guy if you're not a noed on please noed now and then subscribe if you're not a noed person yeah it was very fun we hosted um and then we had Pat Jason channy Joe Wong um Jose Raymond anyone else I'm missing I said Pat did Steve Steve DAV so Pat David Patrick Riley comedy Joe long it was it was I got to call him boy I heard you were talking about you

2:33 know you called him ████ boy on stage oh ████ I wasn't there but he told he just you w even there no I wasn't there but he was saying like he was like he's like he can't be your boss because we call him ████ boy and the and the cool part was that it was an extension of this it didn't feel like we're performing at the comedy store to like a cold crowd it was people that came to support so they understood a lot of the inside jokes and just who we are cuz uh I was like how many you guys been to J be before and literally the whole audience raised your hand doesn't matter which one Westwood Hawaii they bleed green not a not a white to be found not a single white no not a single one yeah but they were like they were like the they were like the boyfriends I was looking for my my brothers brother brothers brother they were the boyfriends or the husbands of our of our Asian dandelion can I have my

3:25 white brother stand up please yeah no not Cricket it was it was it was it was so cool they were just all Steve greens the token white guys yeah there wasn't any though what were you who anybody have like a favorite set yeah uh I always like Jason Chen he always crushes it Chen great yeah he's really Goods well he headlined it instead of David oh really yeah cuz David host hosted it I think David wanted to host I think he's trying to put on his friends yeah cuz I don't think he wants to really do that much stand up anymore right that's what he says I feel like he got enough of it he said his friends suck at promoting themselves cuz they're just standup com Comics so he says that they need to get online and promote themselves speaking of Dumb Friends Jason chiny has a 30-minute special I go check it out oh yeah that's what David was telling me he was saying that he doesn't even talk about it he was like did you know that Jason has a special I don't even know he go see that's how dummy is so go check

4:16 it out oh it's like called Taiwanese American or something like that I don't know yeah we don't even know what it's called no no and we were just talking to him last night but we did talk about it very briefly and I was like oh I want to watch it online but like I really want to watch it live that's smart no that's smart that's smart if you if you can watch it live always watch it live always yeah so I'm I'm really waiting for that next round but you've seen them live already I have but that was like when there's like four other Comics at comedy seller you know what I mean so like to to have his own special where you're just watching his whole set I want usually they do their special when they're done touring with it yeah cuz then you're not going to want to watch the same joke they work on the material right and then they compile it they record it and then now you see his new stuff that he's working on and that is shelf that's done so you're not I don't think you're going he said he's doing it right he said every now and then he he does those shows and then like every now and then he'll do like his own special and that's what I want

5:07 to see he doesn't know what he wants Jon Chinese do know no he doesn't all I know is he's got a really weak sperm he's got a weak sperm can't come hard that's what he's telling me he I can't I can't come very hard does it go very far did you guys see each other do your your bits on stage and stuff it was hard to hear you guys at first but then they fixed it oh cuz it is kind of a small room so it's kind of echoey like real fast what in your opinion was like one of their best moments well it was it's just a lot of crowdwork stuff so it's like it's really hard to just like go here's what was said to this guy that you can't see right now what madees you laugh dude so many things but it it's just hard to convey that cuz it's like this a great video no cuz we're hosting you you we're not we're not yeah when you do crowd work it's one of those you had to be there moments yeah it's it's not funny

5:58 when you relate cu he's like I made fun of a guy with a black shirt in the front it's like explaining like hey did you see the commercial how about this how about this Anthony I'll ask you a hypothetical question you ready no you're ready okay how would you like it if by the end of the night the whole crowd was chanting the nword yep how would you like that that's exactly how would you like that say say your answer right now say your answer right now I would love finding out how it got there no we ended the night with everyone going n word you want the favorite moments that's your favorite moment are you happy why are you angry at me right now why weren you there for that why can't you just answer did Justice did Justice say the n- word nope he's too weak first of all it's two of them you can't just heat they probably just said that's probably what they said he's

6:50 confusing him with d Punk yeah it's okay though how was the he is confusing that ████ he's like yeah I knew that I know Justice one more time [Laughter] yeah around the world around the world anything El that whole song I don't think so just around the world they nailed it dude they figured it out I like that you guys were talking about how these dudes can't promote themselves and when we ask you about the show you're all just like ah you just had to be there I don't know dude so good no it was a it was a fun I mean David always goes in and roasts he has a great time doing that so he opened the show everyone in the audience nobody was safe all the standup comedians were so happy cuz like dude this crowd is ████ live you know like JK fans

7:40 they're ready to have a good time no one has a stick up their ass so I think all the standup Comics that never played to a JK audience they're they're having a great time Steve was trying to hook up half the audience but most of I'd say like 80% were married I heard you were looking for a single guy and then he was like he was like I'm down to break up marriages well that's what I do I break up relationships sometimes if I if I must see a specific detail that's what Jeremy told me this morning I asked Jeremy about the show he didn't have to be there you could just recount it as friend yeah but I know how much you like racial stuff have to give that to you yeah especially about black people the blacks as you like to say no he says the blacks he says the blacks I I don't say the blacks I say a guy I say a guy black jobs that's what Anthony likes to say he won't shut up about them he used to say colored people

8:32 the colored the color the colored folk they're all over that's Anthony Lee what he says off camera just when you thought it could get worse huh well he has pillow cases in his car what does that mean what what does that mean what does that mean is that like a KKK thing you're accusing me of being it's bed sheets Anthony no let me tell you an actual true story about me I had a Confederate flag in my Mini Cooper for like 6 years shut the ████ up I'm not kidding is that a it was very awkward because yeah it was uh cuz I I always forgot that I had it in there well no it was it was a preut it was like pre-cut at the top and the bottom like the triangle ones no like no no like with scissors like with scissors like George kib took scissors when right and and but I had a Confederate flag in my car for six years not getting used to make people uncomfortable so I kind of started to enjoy it after a while but um my I was doing a trolling video where I

9:23 went to a Civil War reenactment place and I was dressed like Halo like from head to toe we spent like six like $600 on a Halo costume that like lights up and ████ so I showed up as Halo with like ████ alien weaponry and ████ like that and I was just going to pone this out and then wck I had like I was like dude it was like a hot day it like 110 degrees or some ████ like that I'm dressed like Halo it's so hot and and I rush I start trying to rush the field and the security guy stopped me cuz I was just going to go up take out alien weaponry and be like you're ████ dead you're ████ dead you're ████ dead and then I was going to take out this pre cut uh Confederate flag and then rip it in half in front of everybody but yeah the guy wouldn't let me Rush the field cuz it's so hot it's so constricting as a as a costume we spent so much Goddamn money on it that it was so accurate and it looked really good

10:14 but then all the LEDs and ████ were just weighing me down dude that that like imagery of you ripping a a South flag would have been CRA this is with the little Needler just shooting in the crowd so that's why when people are like yo what's with like the Confederate flag in your car I'm like like I'm on your team brother don't worry about it it was a whole thing I'm on your team like wait wait what me how' you know that I was you should have ripped it on stage that would have been a good like closer you know that would have been sick what's up guys if you do not know we have a patreon I want you to click in our description and go over there and check out all the beautiful stuff we have for you it's super duper access for only our super duper exclusive lover like yourselves you're going to be getting one never been released director's Cup

13:38 we can't have that dude those bathrooms are way too compliant they're huge both of them we we work through the colored one or the non both the both of them wow ████ Anthony wow dude Anthony whose side are you on trying to never sell a ████ brand deal again I'm on your side brother it was pretty nice because I I think it was four years since we did a live show four years damn since the last danger boy College SCH you guys used to do them all the time you guys get nervous before you go on stage you guys get a little or is it kind of like you guys been doing for so long you're like sometimes but I I did I feel the like the vibe or whatever it's like the the the buzz the energy this time I I felt a little bit nervous and I don't know if it was nervous but more uncertain M you know what to expect mainly because David

14:28 planned it m so I don't know what the hell he wants cuz he first hit us hit me up and he was like uh hey would you be on to do ComEd night thing I'm like yeah what do you want me to do um and and he's like you I was like you want me to do a set I'll start writing now and then he's like yeah yeah yeah and then literally within 30 seconds no no I just have your host so I was like uh host with like three people he yeah I'll bring you and Joe out so I was like oh so David's going to host but then bring me and you Joe out and then I guess we were going to leave so I was trying to imagine the show and just the way he explained it I was like I don't know what the ████ going on so I'm just going to show up and see what happens the show dragged for about 10 minutes cuz Bart had to hobble out every time and bwan it's like 5 minutes comes out but that became a whole thing like people loved it you could hear Bart in the background and then you hear his crutches me and David are on stage just waiting for his ass just come on I I I could always tell where Bart was whether

15:19 it was like in the front or in the in the back room cuz he's just like more machine the man back there he's a heavy guy dude it was it was for sure super fun though yeah I think like I was more nervous about how it was organized than the fan base the fan base it just felt like it was a meet and greet so it felt like I don't know it just familiar right it's not like a new audience or anything like that I think that gets kind of nerve-wracking that's it can suck a lot yeah yeah you got to warm them up yeah you don't know what the crowd's feeling yeah yeah like you don't know if they're there cuz they're like just trying to drink at a bar or like you know it's just it's like they're there for you me and my wife tried to go out and this has good crab cakes yeah make me laugh funny boy like all that s███'s like oh Jesus crazy

16:10 situation at the Ice House you never know you never know cuz when we first went in it was a I didn't know that they um have different showings and then they move the audience so the first audience were like all these Boomers yeah and even in the VIP room remember and then we're just like is this the crowd like these guys are the new Jak K fans well when we walked in in the green room with like it was Tom Arnold in there no way yeah from like ████ True Lies and ████ no yeah and he the guy who used to ████ Roseanne yep how what was he doing there he just had a set I think he had just had a set so like what Joe's saying is the audience was more like rosan fans Tom right exactly yeah so Tom Arnold was there and then Patrick wton from The Tick the guy with the voice Family Guy Family Guy the guy from Seinfeld oh yeah yeah yeah the guy

17:01 sounds like he's yawning yeah yeah yeah yeah so the whole audience was like that age range you know and we're like I was just like ████ dude I guess JK fans really did age out you know like they got older than you they didn't age well D in old age I'm like damn did David like really sell out to our fans or did he just like the ice house sold out you know did you group on group on to like yeah I'm like is it like 10 people that are are fans but like the whole thing sold out because of the ice house sold out you know he sold them to S I was looking and then and I was like damn this going to be kind of tough cuz uh they're not going to know our our ████ so I was like oh may maybe we got to actually host like really have like zingers and ████ like lines and stuff and then they were like oh no we're we're bringing in your guys' crowd cuz

17:52 and then you're like n I'm good then baby there's no um there was no line either like when we walked up usually like a line of people waiting no it was just every it was like David and and Jason chenny outside so we like oh I guess like this is wrecked yeah so we're like I thought it sold out what the hell yeah cuz Dave's like you guys got to get there at nine: or whatever and then we got there at n it's Ghost Town yeah there's no one there so how was it sold out well like yeah the the I guess people all know this but me is that they line up like minutes before they're showing cuz they already have tickets and then they just when the when This Crowd Goes they go in oh so it's just not one of those like pretentious let's keep everyone outside for visuals no no yeah it's like a dance show not a that and there there were there was there was another there was there was another room

18:42 imagine a dance show doing that that would be such a we just have new audiences all the time yeah like people see a line they go who who's dancing in there I know right it's not like a like a dance club you guys ever do a dance show and nobody's like giving you guys Vibes or whatever oh yeah dude I mean I don't know he's never done that dude convention and ████ no I've I've been through the I've seen I've been through this too yeah there's been times where literally it's the same thing where like you're saying where there's a a dude that's like make me laugh boy it's the same guy but he's like let's see what you got boy it's like that same ████ yeah backflip that's it yeah I've seen a cir show better than this CU I think at the time too like being like 2 I would say like 2010 2011 that was back when like for some ████ reason all these School clubs just had so much budget they were just hiring the ████ out of you even though they were bad organizers or it was just at random things or some

19:32 of them were like vanity projects where they'd be like Oh I'm doing this big thing for This Disaster but like they suck at what they're doing they just manag to pay you so you're there just performing for like who ████ no one cares I remember no one cares I true School clubs had so much money they be like hi we're the anorexia Club can you guys come and do a comedy thing we're like what the ████ which is weird because that's like what like a year after one of the worst recessions but then for some reason all of the it was money that they have to use they literally though I think they were funding the YouTubers at the yeah especially like the Asian entertainment World hell yeah all the shows were the best back that's that's the tours that remember we we did the USC one together was so hot so good right not at USC I mean uh not Stanford Stanford's a bunch of nerds yeah no it was the it was the

20:24 school across the street all the party schools are really good this is how we talk when we're off camera and Stu that we talking about how so much ass how to ask yeah brother but definitely like you get hired to promote random items sometimes like this guy invented a backpack that was also a hoodie and you couldn't detach it and he's like he just had a lot of money and he's like I really like you guys want you to perform and uh and promote my my backpack hoodie and we went all the way out to Chicago do the show he paid us like a ton of money wow and it was like it was at like this outdoor park and then there was like not that many people but we were like dude you paid us more than like major major shows and he's like you ever had a backpack and you're like I wish this was a hoodie you ever had a hoodie you're like I kind of wish this was a backpack it was like a turtle shell thing like you put it on and you just immediately have a backpack and then like he gave it to us and I remember being in the trailer and I was like oh

21:14 dope I'll perform with it can I take the thing off and he's like no dude no way that thing's a good backpack I wouldn't do that that is funny that like like something bad happens I really wouldn't do that you just SL this waiver before you attempt to let me let me step back a couple he closes the door yeah it's weird man I've done some bad shows why does it smell like gunpowder I feel like most of them were just fans that got a budget and they're like we got to ████ get them and it just squeezed Us in that's the best and I'm like I don't know why the Chinese Cultural Club brought us in but dude that's why shout outs to the CCP club dude that's why pay to do some shows that are under budget cuz that might be the best crowd of the Chinese makes sense but remember we did a show in Colorado and it was a Hispanic

22:04 sorority remember but that's the other half of the Latinas love Asians it's cuz bar got that ass much ass baby go and then all the were like like cholos and people in zoot suits they're doing like a Mexican heritage month Del Delta gamma Tora yeah and then randomly we have me and Joe coming out as the uncles were like I don't know how this fits in but this is what you guys wanted that was interesting that was fun do they like you guys I think so yeah dude I did an improv show at a Steiner Club one time it was rough Steiner Club yeah dud legit like old guys those ████ hats it's like a Bavarian yeah that's like the Elks or like it's Lodge yeah it's a LGE it was just like a bunch of old dudes who didn't understand what the ████ was going on and and the my favorite part though is after doing like a 90minut like ████ improv show or whatever of

22:55 like red versus blue like very like um who's L is anyway stuff stuff um they go to my buddy Trenton and they're like we want our ████ money back and they're like haggling they're like hling to get they're haggling to get oh ████ yeah cuz we're like I mean I think we're all like the B the Midian age was like 25 years old so we're just like joking about ████ that they don't even have no clue about whatever they're probably waiting they're waiting for us to do Elton John jokes or some ████ like Elden John's gay or something like that but there yeah he is yeah I know that we didn't have any of that like we had no none of that no it's John's game did it feel like it was performing for your grandfather's yeah it was like we have no it was worse than that it was like cuz my grandpa wouldn't even show up cuz they're not even those aren't even guys those aren't even haha you got to make them ho ho ho yeah yeah it was dude

23:46 they're like the Hardy laugh dudes it was like doing it was like remember during Co when you watched like a sports event and they cut to the stands it's just cardboard cut UPS it was like that the whole ████ time it was the best those guys are probably dead now all of them every last one of them what's an example of a joke you told so that he can tell you just had to be there hey what's a dance you did ████ well and word and word and word
