0:00 foreign episode of the careful boys today we have with us a special guest Mr Christian Pierce thank you for being here man happy to be here it's really cool to have you man I've seen a lot of yourself back in the day and it's it's cool to meet you face to face you're as cut and cool yeah as I always imagine you know if I'm cool yet you're pretty free you look pretty cool dude where do you know him from they're from online just like you're Jimmy's writing partner right yeah yeah yeah Jimmy Tatro yeah I don't know I used to watch like my my first video that I watched of you guys was the beat drop one and the living room nice yeah I really like that one and I was following you guys the whole time and then I remember fast forward to maybe like
0:50 maybe like four or five years ago um like Nadine would always come a barber with just random people and then I saw you I was like and nice it's like yeah yeah yeah all right that was kind of Jack dude what the ████ it's always people always get surprised like I work out and ████ because I feel like in comedy like there's not a lot of room for that it hasn't been traditionally like you can't be like in shape and funny Kevin Hart was a first yeah probably and he also made Fitness funny I'm trying to get my workout in whatever right yeah yeah yeah yeah people aren't surprised I still always wear like biggest t-shirts I used to wear a bunch of big shirts hoodies and stuff like that because I also thought I was like it's not funny to be cut like yeah yeah regular yeah yeah it can't be funny and be all but Bobby Lee was like
1:42 the hell is wrong with you you're not gonna be funny anymore yeah and he was really mad at me damn did you feel like some of that was true did you feel like you lost some of your funniness when you got leaner no I just thought he was jealous yeah I think he was trying to make himself feel good yeah yeah he's like you need to be you need to be fat like me yeah that's what I do alcoholic you were away from here yeah let's drink together mad at David for losing weight huh yeah wait who lost weight David so when he was fatter I think so because his roles were all funny now he's trying to do some serious ████ he's taking the Jim Carrey route I think he has good serious roles too though huh I think he's a good actor yeah he's a good actor is it what kind of is he doing funny shows and movies though because all of
2:32 his stuff I've seen lately have been drama yeah he just did a movie called you people that was like it's a comedy but he definitely and he was funny but he definitely played like a cooler less comedic character he was a cool guy yeah do you like want him to be funny when you watch him too because I feel like I do I'm like waiting for him yeah I think he's like grandfather funny to me like he's one of those guys like if he's not being funny I'll still probably laugh because yeah like reflex yeah he's like look at this guy he's gonna talk about dicks or something he's with the whole movie for him to say dicks it is the evolution of like the artist though because like you know Jim Carrey he's like I'm not just a kamehame actor even Jackie Chan right what's that one movie 1911 or whatever he was like not even really doing that much action Foreigner yeah yeah he's just like mainly just acting and I feel like everyone they just like eventually they
3:23 want to evolve as an artist that might be tired of what really wanted to do that right he wanted some new stuff smoking out that he wanted a role that wasn't action against also good at acting maybe we also wanted to sing too do you want to sing yeah he wanted to have an album too he's a really good singer right yeah he's actually pretty good Jackie Chan AI album right now that's funny because he's not even a comedian we make that tonight yeah make him sing like Kanye West song making Drake songs first singer with an action genre like Drake songs by Jackie Chan his albums nothing was the chance [Laughter] you gotta like you gotta let funny people be serious every now and then they're also gonna ████ crack that's right but I also think if you're acting like you don't want to put your actual
4:14 Persona on TV because like let's say you're actually funny and you're acting and if you're just the same on camera you're not really acting anymore you know so if they're serious on camera maybe they're really funny off camera that happens a lot or I find a lot of time it does happen a lot yeah a lot of dramatic actors I meet like when I come on to set and like I'm acting something I'm just doing my regular bit and they're like you are so funny how do you do this I'm like whoa what the ████ that's weird but a lot of people like they don't have like that comedic sensibility so you see a lot of also dramatic actors try to be funny and flop I feel like most of the time so you gotta let them let actors flow and like practice other ████ otherwise like I don't know like Dave Chappelle who just quits yeah that's true he's like they just put them in a box do this 10 more seasons he's like nah I'm good dude yeah I'm out well I mean like when Adam Sandler did uh funny people I was like this is so not ████ funny you're like
5:04 boothing but it was good though yeah about this movie but I was expecting Happy Gilmore and I got people a lot of people you're expecting the same ████ jams dude that was a good show yeah his Netflix stuff now I really like it yeah yeah ready to get it out that was a good movie man I just needed a warning because of the trailer the way they cut it too it's called funny people it's called funny people yeah funny people threw everybody off because nobody knew anything and they went in and exactly what he has cancer you have cancer you got Seth Jonah it was about it was about funny people like being real high yeah yeah and everyone was expecting comedy but it
5:54 was about comedians in their real life yeah being all sad and ████ like I don't want to see you off the stage uh it was dope but I remember in the theater I watched it in the theater and tons of people were pissed people were really mad about that I was one of those if they Market it in a way where they prep me like you're used to him being funny but this time he's boring like the 90s preview guys in the world I think most comedians or most comedic actors writers whatever it is you can kind of see a little bit of like hurt in
6:45 them somewhere in their routine all crazy but I don't see the hurt in Sandler I don't see the trauma yeah yeah that's what okay that's living a pretty chill so balanced yeah he's still playing basketball and it's ████ sweats and ████ off yeah he just seems on probably still around right it seems unbothered by a lot of stuff right like even with all the fame that he has everyone has like a really good story of Adam Sandler just like walking by him he's like hey how you doing he's very pleasant you know all good stories like when he went to the IHOP with his daughter oh yeah it was that story he went he went to IHOP with his daughter and then they were like oh sorry it was too full and he goes okay we'll go somewhere else and then he takes his daughter no he's legit like that name drop or nothing like they didn't know it was just fired right away you know who that was yeah and they found out later they were like oh come back we'll we'll give you table anytime he's like no it's fine like I don't want to teach my daughter give him cancer that one movie
7:42 you know debut on YouTube I was a regular person you know like I was you still remember that you had a regular job yeah at a restaurant called Volcano in Pasadena shout out dude Schneider was kind of a regular but not regular enough to where like we always saw him but it would be like oh he came on someone's shift you know he came down one day and then like six months will pass oh he came down right one day Rob Schneider Uh Kevin James Adam Sandler and then uh this this bigger lady this uh uh no no no no she was a white lady but it's that crude like they're uh maybe she's she's an older blog Betty White no no no no anyway well they
8:32 were they were they were there on my shift yeah and I was like what the ████ so we also had a bar so there was a security they had to put like Velvet Rope around them and then people were leaving them alone yeah you know but there were people that were trying to sneak like shots and then some people had those cameras and then you try to go like that like [Laughter] yeah and then I was like oh my God the curtain over his head yeah and I was like busting the table and ████ like this is their ████ they barely ate anything I think they only got like I don't know like 40 bucks worth of food but they tipped like 200. damn and then at the end of the night they uh Adam Sandler said bye to every single person like on the way out wow
9:41 I think the whole staff did the whole like you know when you uh go outside and line up because you just you just want to see yeah so we all like like we're there and then I think it was was like oh he knew it was for him so he he kind of said bye to every single person that was nice man he's so cool yeah and I was like damn this guy's really interesting because we've had other celebrities come into the restaurant before and they just mind their own business and leave like just regular people yeah he was a superstar of the 2000s yeah like just back to back to back no he's Legends yeah he's in a small group I would hate to be so I mean not I guess I can't wait to be so famous one day or someone's expecting a big tip from me and it just doesn't come
10:32 on the receipt you should start on the left side where you put like a one and you leave all this space and then just go no that's it was here 10 years ago he gave me four hundred dollars yeah so you guys tip more when the person that's waiting you as a fan yes yes I have to you have to oh yeah but what's considered more like five percent more I I don't go I wouldn't go over 30 I don't think like unless like if you're at someone that's cheap 25 25 is Chill I used to give like it's a fan I do 30. a lot of like a nice ass place but what if they're a fan and they're like not that good of a server I have a big thing about it what happens what do you do what's give them a regular 20 regular 20. yeah because I think you'll get five or Thirty city server and like still get it over 20 too but I think a lot of people think that that's totally regular yeah they would just pay waiters more that's a very
11:23 strange situation for them to be like hey I'm a huge fan and then proceed to give bad service yeah but some people are just stupid though people don't even know like I never ordered the strawberry ice cream they're just they got brain cell issues or something all over your steak yeah exactly like ice cream steak how do I make this again well like let's say you're on a diet right and then like they want to hook you up so they're like yo um on the house and it's like all this ████ crazy dessert and I'm all like oh no oh yeah I don't like getting hooked up
12:14 sometimes the pressure that comes with getting hooked up yeah what does that mean I have to do for you yeah that's true you know um that's very true is that an issue like a real issue like you feel like shut up can't dude that's a real issue man for sure it's an issue I don't know yeah I mean like especially like if I own a clothing brand and then people like oh this is my new clothing man they give me like a bunch of stuff I feel so badly like I'm literally Never Gonna wear it I've got to wear it though for competition reasons competitions you got to put everyone else's shirt on oh it's my friends for sure no no your enemies oh yeah yeah but everybody should that's what I do I was I walked into I go to this Climbing gym now and there was this pop-up these guys had like selling these new shirts and I was like oh what's up no this is cool I'll take two shirts went home and I was like how can we be better than that oh
13:05 like what a great businessman where's the cut that's a cool cut right there yeah let me write this what's your Source I support them I bought the ████ but also I'm like this is capitalism how can I be better than the competitor here I'm gonna open all those shirts that I have at home yeah try it out they're still in the package they boom from the promotion brand do you guys like not listen to other people's podcasts yeah tons of them I just don't feel like we really compete with anyone because I don't know it's about competing then I guess just incorporating other ████ you like yeah that's true yeah yeah do you guys um watch and like consume content that you don't even do yeah yeah like homework no just like yeah just like
13:56 history stuff or whatever and then like it's like it's just your sacred thing that you enjoy but then you produce like comedy or something else and then you might not even consume comedy on YouTube it always comes back for me because I watch I love like documentaries I also love Food Network like I love Food Network I think I've seen everything what's your favorite song my favorite show is a trash show it's called a Cutthroat Kitchen yeah it's like they have sabotagers that you auction off and then like there's a pot of 25 Grand right it's one pot and then everyone has 25 Grand in front of them and they're like hey for 10th hour 8 thousand dollars you can force every Chef to wear a blindfold but that's so funny and you only leave with whatever you have left in your case but you have to buy a sabotage to ████ everyone else up it's Chopped with sabotages wow [Music] so people leave with like three grand because like they're spending money sabotaging you know it's kind of worth
14:47 it Master Chef Junior where they have the kids like compete against each other and there's so so much pressure for like it stuck have you watched it yeah the kids on Chopped Junior suck they shouldn't be on TV I'm sorry it's like a piece of lettuce with a piece of cheese on it it's like anybody can make that like this is bad but yeah I watch Food Network here's the channel but it always comes back to a sketch writing a sketch later oh I see I see I see like Jimmy and I wrote this bit we haven't been able to do it just time wise but we were I was watching on chop the night was like you guys are watching chop we both started watching chopped and we had this bit about how like it's always this chefs with the saddest stories to win Chopped it's not about being the best shot yeah yeah like an amputee Chef or something Chef what'd you make here like oh I made this like you know foie gras like oh what's your story Chef when I was 18 my sister's house burned down this fog raw is good [Laughter]
15:43 good chefs on this one Chef whose dishes are terrible they're a mess but he has two hooks for hands that a story every round and he just keeps making it through the food it's terrible I feel like that I'll watch a bunch of other ████ I'm like oh this would be funny sushi with hooks the Plate's all broken because most of your ride you're toward like TV and getting shows like that I'd say like on the like on a weekly basis most of my ideas I write down are like probably sketch ideas like quick ones but how I incorporate those now I try to invest those into bigger projects I got some shows have been developing like Jimmy are working on a movie right now and it's like I love this idea I can just do an Instagram right now as a sketch but I feel like I'll feel a bigger payoff if I see this on the big screen and like I put the money behind
16:34 it and I think this idea deserves so I have all the ideas just about figuring out which ones I want to see come to life and language as a writer do you practice just the art of writing regardless if it's gonna go anywhere are you like because uh you know like um Spike Lee I think his his like routine is he wakes up in the morning when he's fresh and just for three hours a day he's just writing yeah it doesn't matter if it's gonna go anywhere he does it unbiasedly not nothing about monetization or anything and he just writes and then maybe from there he'll pull us all like this and this is he'll make turn into a project like for you who do you just write in general or do you only write when you kind of notice a destination yeah I think writing every day is definitely the way to ████ do it like if you can or reading every day like write something down you know what it is like I think like thank God I have like some kind of idea every day so it'll end up in a paragraph like in my notes but I should get in a better habit
17:26 when I'm in a flow of like scripting something or even just outlining something every day yeah like the ideas come quicker it's like when you work out like when the muscles are warm everything becomes easier like you hit these like plateaus you know sooner hit the Zone baby yeah say lubricated you know what I mean you do more projects by yourself stay lubed up oh yeah that's a good question you do more projects by yourself or to do more projects with Jimmy by myself by yourself yeah or like with other collaborators oh cool in different like writing groups yeah like a couple different like writing partners and then I have like some stuff I've done like even if I nothing happens by yourself right like even if I've like developed I've developed a few series you know without people that like are prominent names you know I mean or like have different random connections to me um but those are like yeah I guess the heart comes from me and then I find collaborators after that but Jimmy and I
18:16 have so many like projects with like legs that we can kind of just like come back to look a few times a year like we're doing right now like invest like several weeks or several months and like take a break and yes another show he works on too did you work on the the Netflix one no I didn't work on it okay the high school one right yeah yeah that's funny yeah and it was great yeah yeah yeah it it feels like um YouTube and that Golden Era of sketches and everything that's where we got our start too it it's all just on reels or Tick Tock now yeah that's but it's shorter less development I mean it's funny that this is considered short when our era that was three six minutes was short you know yeah the art of a sketch is completely changed yeah like there's not many sketch artists anymore I feel like I'm Tick-Tock on YouTube and I'm on Tick Tock like a lot like I'm just going through and like I feel like
19:06 I follow everyone who does a consistent sketch comedy there's just not as big of a place for it I feel like I don't know I think kids look at comedy what makes them laugh different now they want that quick hit which is fine right it's just fine right right quick hit yeah even the Beat Drop video like that's like I feel like that was a big jump like that's as long as we've got to go through a 28 second video yeah like that's as long as people really want to see 20 seconds is too long these days yeah you just need a hot girl to walk by and a guy goes and then you're yeah cause some of the people that follow I don't even know what they're doing like they'll be like a especially like people that aren't Fitness comedy realm like there's ones are just like they go like that and then there's a filter on dude Fitness comes in there's like 20 million views I'm like huh yeah
19:56 most Fitness comedians need to ████ stop listen I love both those Realms so much but I don't even know what's happening like just stop ████ yeah it seems like it's very just like self-centered too like it's very like egotistical like for sure so I can't let you guys think you're ████ funny half these dudes you're jacked for sure good job they have so many views that's the crazy is it because they're just watching him have low standards for comedy yes dude you know it's crazy so it's relatable to that Niche right it's like don't make a protein joke or a bicep joke and then they all get it right that's as funny as they could ever be I see it'd be nice if it was that it's abstract I don't even know what they're making fun you know they're joking yeah I don't even know it's just like even if like someone walked by and they go um again I know what's going on
20:47 yeah it's just like and then 30 million views I'm like what the ████ was that what is that that's it can you post some on your stories I'll show you right after the compilation compilation one of the guys I'm making fun of is the fan so I don't want to call him out but I'll show you right after I've seen a couple dudes I've seen two that can think of that have like made it through why I saw them start off and on like this kind of cringe and now I'm like okay you managed to stay jacked and funny yeah that's two out of like 2 000 though you know I got a good question for you for another video because we're up we're almost up out of time you I mean that whole era of YouTube that we were all in together the climate has changed dramatically because that's been over a decade right or almost a decade and then so like people that got into
21:39 the game from back then and saw the change of the social climate and all that I want to hear your comments on it as someone who's still working in comedy thank you foreign
