In the next room in the midst of their screwing. Paying cannot hear the podcast part

The average is
now entering nearest star com.
Monica is like a pickup truck with ourselves. Shell, on the back of it as an emergency. Human
a delivery as just a little shell.
Being a even say, like a state,
in thirty feet, behind this vehicle to sign a joke. I should so. How is it should be?
truck insurgency

you guys we're fine ray, we seem to be recording. When are you ok, if we use like monkey boy,
Italy got really injured.
Like our bodies, my my only I will carry you convicts plus
or as a hilarious comedy turned the monkey boy did. Your body makes you throw poop and that's the one, that's worth it yeah, that's why we're gives you AIDS
that was the other financing or those circles, body parts to modern blood. They make it out of monkey he's an athlete. Will
with the champions. Shipping is an athlete. We got a horse eyes movies that can be on the caliber of Airbus move
and which I think are of the seven different urban movies. Now, of course, I think they'd pro
destroy three or four dogs per
movie and that's what about that? Better, their horrible there during the puppy area, Swell retriever puppies others like Santa Paw buddies, and I am sure they go into space air buddies lines. I just I just talked to a space for you is.
But like, like. I wasn't like it was not the name of that the russian dog that went into into space that they said when they displayed by the way I talked to whip soubrettes or make Henry on the phone today of my getting caught. He called me in us
Let me guess who I am and I didn't his like. I met a puppy party
all right. I've got a puppy body. What does that involve? I don't know I really really not be brings bite yeah. He told me in the background, sends us what he called me. Why did you take her pictures? Why isn't anything on Tumblr, I dont know Squid Humpy Party sounds awesome. Well haven't yet this is our party,
with their Prodi very near the edge to get the entire way all community. Aren't we come with greedy. We got jaw,
Allie Brie and I'm gonna go over the fourth year. Therefore, I like that, I thank you for having me, of course,
maybe the laws on only one. Also back so you every let you may be. The last gray is involved. We gotta get him in here. I don't know. If I want to,
well I do I do I just but when it comes to and when you are crucial,
all the time. So I'm sure your boots old hat for you, but when it comes to people who explains a podcasting,
pop up and its equitable.
Also one of the reasons why the nervous about trying to get ce marking the pie cancelling- I just don't know if I could keep it together enough to have a conversation, did now with management doctor who that's true but met granted. He did not come into your life.
Number one met in over one man is younger than I am and number two miles so that that that gives me an automatic age seniority over him. A number two I am an and an immense who
Van, and I and I love his character, but you know steam
Chevy Chace Bill Murray, like people like these influence me as a person community. So that's why I don't know what was it I mean when you
I met him. What was their pants shitting
the fact that there was on his part. That's it
that he stream from jabbing it's funny when people say like you, ve worked with them, because I have now it's been a year working with heavy, which is a great title for a member
yeah, you're, cherries, its
very interesting and abuse from Chicago and saw definitely influenced by you know. Chubby vacation
That's always, and it still is the first question. I would, however, ask me: what's it like working which have, I think, people kind
no there's this sort of like a lower and also like does he throws,
people. That kind of thing there's always a little bit of that he does things
there is some candy at my crotch one of the first weeks we are working in its all. Joking, you know is an all
man, vanity and just as bad as it is an impossible question to answer like when people ask me, would you like to work
Bolivia Minor, what's it like to work with? What's it like why dont know how to an hour guys that sort of strange, I think
I just want a story. You know them
I think if they one kind of random story. As far as with chubby I mean, I think, he's you know it.
Miss Browning, my name, but that's kind of you know that's normal. I dont know if he still knows out of harassment, name,
what else has happened? He then he can see Danny. I don't think you know Danny's my name. He Billy. I think he called me to meeting our southern from ETA Shack thinks that I'm living in his movie- I, like you very, very TIM Tim
quota and yet you? But it's really interesting. I think you know there's a the all this time
This is really while in fun to experience of my first big tv show all that kind of stuff. You know that having someone who's from you know movies that your group
with is is, is just really surreal being in all these scenes. L a time and you sort of just it becomes,
in normal you know, even though, when I
we're coming out of my family stuff in Chicago everyone there, like you working which habitat is that, unlike earlier, is weird when I see his Christmas card on my refrigerator
ok- that either directly from him. It's unusual already cover of Christmas vacations, holidays images, reasoning, electrocute! He gave me a pen,
Christmas you Chris dollar Bill just now was unusual, but kind of perfect
yeah good them. It was a real
good bad. The pen was worth more than everything in my house, and it was engraved with my name so that those funny I think it was made, I'm a grave Ben Timmins.
I love made out of alligator skin, I think Org
I don't know which one you use fur skins, but I think it's one of those alibi
that's right.
Closure of the first year of the frost them the fear that you have the mega hybrid
crocodile alligator and then make em out across the gaiters
I was far reaching our usual final day when the great thing about wearing, which argues that everyone, I feel it has a story in some way whether or not it was a movie. They watched their family tradition and you now or random kind of experts,
with him and said, set, I think, that's it, sort of a fun thing to be part of you know if you like,
the history kind of lesson everyday. I keep thinking there.
For a long time they were set in other. There was always the flesh. Reboot was always seem like it was in the harbor, and I cant figure like there's no one that could do it and I actually, I think, jaw having Mikhail could be it
Could pull it off at every bit, as I think Mikhail could pull it off. I definitely think you don't. I think they were too.
How about that. At one point it I remember the chubby disorder
like teasing Joel about it for a while, and then you know, jolting a MAC and many other ways, because
about their mammoth fleet, all the other, both over six, for I believe
The average six nine very tall, very good, looking do
seen our kind of in there and their prime chubby
which reminds me sort of. I think, the time that we are making we were discussing whether or not there should be a reboot flush.
Was the episode when we were it with the bottle episode. We were all in the study room together,
we haven't been a wheelchair. That episode a hand,
all the guys, we discovered that we had to be topless. You know
and so you know obviously forcing or don't push ups in in the study, room and shabby was so frustrated because he saw.
All you know top was he saw Joel in his underwear and you know Joel as as large muscles and I dont but
I think chubby seeing that was like you know, seeing himself as fledge back in the day, but here
in a wheelchair, forced a wise man, just like you married when he was in its third. It was very strange. Brightest saw like in his eyes like everything,
happening and hid in discussing flag, and you know just started calling movies. You know
I can't even remember what was happening, but he's started telling stories about. You know nineteen eighty four the year and it was just an interesting thing to watch you know. What's Jill, do push up some sort of job in a wheelchair dream. Jewel Mchugh, Chauvelin Entebbe Chase was in a wheelchair gray eyes sounds you re building. He was quoting eighties movies. I would never happen, but that's that will work.
But that does not a bad job, pretty well off. A report
we'll have to understand how difficult it is, first of all, to get a job second, while to get a job that gets on the air, then third, to get a job, it stays on the air and, fourth, that people that is critically claim that people are
actually enjoying the ads
I feel, very, very lucky because you know right away from the beginning
This of the show you know I'm lucky guy addition for this. Just like any other job, you never know as an actor what you're gonna get inside. You have a lot of choice when you're as passive when you're
Someone like me will just kind of starting out looking for any kind of half palestinian half white rule
Thankfully, the right woman came to my aunt, so what is that will? First? Why do my girlfriend? You been Michael
JANET forever and and JANET adored.
You and what I always say on. I got any booty she's about before
You got community, we all went to breakfast. They think it, the alcove, that's right and I spilled
I grant you spoke in your garage, but
Finally, I was like oh my God day, pooty, so fucking funny it in
and so so nice to certain comments later, what we say
we got on the show, ends up being huge, its
crazy. I may I read that script and actually I work agenda like one two three years ago we did pilot together where it was all improvise and it was like a political base. Pile
about a unlikely congressional Canada moving from Arizona to Washington DC and it was all improvising. It was crazy, great experience about when producers put there
possibility on the actor yeah I will just let him improvise. In other words, you just want people to write your show for you. I want to put on record that I did it just bring us in some ideas and it will take on those terrifying.
Today I mean it was exhilarating at times because you're, like all crap those cell phone, I didn't even know what we're talking about, but then you'd leave everyday being like we have to do
again to Morrow, and I said I was tough, but it was a really great experience because you kind of realise ok, I can do things like one, sometimes
I don't think I'm a bill to get away with anything. This one, on the other hand, is so specifically written.
We submitted over the scrap out just like. While this is it's unbelievable I mean every character is, is just so fleshed out. I see everything it's all about. Second chance,
it's all about this kind of group of underdogs in this way
old were sort of. You know like this fantasy mad.
Can happen. You know it is these very grounded and real characters, but there's the sort of absurdity around them
kind of like a little bit of a sadness to it, which I was just like this is, I mean wonderful, to be part of our very Dan,
many very heavily armed just another, like great characters fantasy,
the quality of the air and wages and a lot of sadness, yeah sort of all that and one which I thought was just incredible to read a pilot. First of all, an come away. The whole.
I'm like trembling being like. I want to be part of the show so badly. You know my very first
a I think: jewels character, Jeff Winger,
me what time it is, and I proceed to tell them everything. I'm only half arabic.
My dad's angry, but not angry at America. Angry, because my mom left them and I just go through this whole thing, and I was just like well. This is incredible. That's Abed right there within the very first breath.
Then you find out another boost. Brothers are directing it from Russia, development you now and then, and then just
chase this
nothin Comer is it. How did you know all that before you wanted to test for the show? I knew
by the time I tested yes, but not with the first audition with the first audition.
Don't think chubby was now
yeah or whatever it was. I knew that the recent brothers were attached to it and I knew at the time,
That goal was, I think, the lead
oh, the soup, girls, do
and actually worked with Joel right after I work agenda?
pilot too that we shall hear
rectify Jason Wine or beer giants, radio, ok, yeah, and about the behind the scenes for radio station. I
Teddy the engineer bringing Guy forty five percent Abed. That kind of thing
and I get a chance to work with jewel, which is really cool.
And then I saw him in this role in the minute I read out, like he's perfect for this. If there is a lot of things rousing, I would love.
Be part of this- shall I could just you could just see it immediately and that's very rare one. You read something the very first time, especially in pilot and be like one
I could see everything you know.
Cells very lucky- and you know a biologist-
no idea where the show was gonna go, I did know we will be doing episodes about a space bus but certainly gone there now in the process in the cause of people understand
but auditioning is an entirely separate skill to tube to actual acting, because you're
you're, in a room with your inner,
Darrell environment, with rain and you're reading opposite people who can act in any way because there can
assistants are there, you know, or cats causing people in, and so there there's sort of theirs.
Kind of giving you they're flat. Half of the red and in so much about so much about creating a performance or seen together, is just working up the chemistry of other people, s head, so it so you put, and then
top of that when you want something really really really bad, plus the nervousness factor. When you start, you start going to this place of. If I get this job
I can't help but think about all the ways my life will change.
How do you? How are you? How are you, are you able to focus and not like it? I'm not I'm ahead. I addition, I think, five times
for the four that role I mean the its view
Difficult, as you do show up to these things, the other thing is that, like you show up to these additions and someone like me who,
Is it a little darker little brown you shortly
These rules were auditioning for the role of a bad word, there's five other people that look like you as well, and only one named and actually arisen guy named about who you shop with at the test at the studio test, and this guy
Algeria is ok, I'm abbot, unlike me, do here, and there is no real economic. Ok. This is great. I dont have this job anymore. So there's
has a mind games. Its were incredibly incredibly difficult. I dont understand it. I dont know if there's an easier way to meet.
Only way to kind of get the rule is to focus as hard as I could name like the text. The focus
I could on the audition peace, but it's near
we impossible to not let all those thoughts get into your head. You shop in this room,
you're sitting around they ask if you only water, you like I need water and a lot more than that, you're costly,
telling diarrhoea, because you're so nervous and new life does change. I mean I, despite the you
working with Chevy Chace. You know it's a very it's a crane.
And also, however, you have regular income. You probably have some disposable income. Now they have before it's the first time in my life, where I can not think about buying sushi, it's very good, bye, sushi everyday, just thrown away. I personally when I could- and I think that I think that the Goebbels report disposable sushi income- I wanted, I wanna- get to disposable sushi level through,
There's just no AIDS relates whomsoever wooden boat in front of me on a table in there just slowly, slighted off the table and declaring an afghan, don't need it
Another sushi conveyor belt interest goes right and it is absolutely clear. The newly
What is your balls and that social Decadent fucked up thing to do for rich people is just have restaurants where they just come to. Do they pay to throw away? Really you have my word: you throw your Toro. That would be that's nice
see a future to see moneymaking scheme. I was that I would like to think that rich people being crazy and lazy, is why most of the technology happens. Words are those like. I was like a crazy guy who's ridges I've. I don't want to tie my own shoes like while making Southerly Millcote like this aspect, velcro shoes of an event that has an effect of ten thousand years,
we are worried about the lower, doesn't mean I'm tired of having lobster farts, I'm just going to throw this food where rich people have lobster farts didn't.
The long hours dotterine lost because of selfishness
I will do ass. You love is a really wealthy. Yes,
They are the reach of the sea. By raising this, when you look at our great, when you look at the loves result, we seek their cockroaches there, the cockroaches of the sea and yet a delicacy forest areas and regions.
In, we challenging to catch know that they just kind of sit there and like
I go reels anything with some is
you'll slow at the bottom of anything, you put it
page near them and they get in it. Yeah, maybe they're, not so much a cockroach, maybe
maybe they're, just like cats of the sea, like it
that was really
worldwide campaign, those
Good Lord boards, we're fucked him die, I'm curious to know
what I'm curious to know what the experience is like for you being a palestinian White Guy, you white guy. What what
what? What? What is it like? Navigating the industry, because I'm sure you I'm sure they will pigeon hole? You will not be like you're, an indian guy ass here and arab uranium shit like that. No problem, just throw you into any kind of middle eastern thing, is set up
setting emotionally or due to speak. Like I'm an actor I mean, is it the same as me going here? I could be for play like I'm from Boston or play like from Canada replay like I'm from Britain.
Yeah raises a navy- and you know I mean
I am have indian and have also I do have its accessible to me to be to understand where the virus-
thing. You know my name born India. My mom was born in Poland, so that makes you make me
and the end of opinions out their words
No, what we don't understand you we're have posed. Could I will step to urge your indian sides? Yes, you I analyse that anyways. You know I have been seen as indian largely cause. I look India. You know, though I feel waymore Polish, I'm I'm ok with it. You know. I think that you know years ago we progressed I
growing up, I was like, while others there is just one point of view here. You know magic rocks, protect our villages, Indiana Jones Temple. Do that's that's pretty much.
You might not about molecular Blue Lou dolls and other, and I love it will be by the way, but, like
that and then, like video game characters like you know, the great tiger and dull seem
so there is a little bit of watches, jewel, yeah yeah
when you get em, you know there is that
there's nothing really. I could in sort it I could sort of relate to
up you know, but I kind of just use that my eye
advantage and being like, while whatever will I'm kind of everything- and you know that sort-
hammered out here. I've audition for all kinds of stuff- and you know
the community. I did a couple rules actually, where I didn't play an indian character, but then also into seven. I played three different sundays
so there is,
that you know- and I think that those
therefore necessarily defined by their ethnicity, but they were
when a title right away of this characteristics
early India and we just want to make sure everyone is aware of that. I dont know why people sometimes need to feel the need to do that, but Buffalo
Indian, you mean tech support and this is as a racist and adapt accurate,
Yet this was deafening,
you know, that's not feathers, streamlining and of, and you know what I am India. You know that
Miss Daniel sold
I understand that. I understand the need to kind of label things. I've, although I'm very excited about playing a character, was not you know, defined by Vanessa, is of necessity
and he is about have Palestinian, which I'm not but it's kind of fun for me to kind of go and explore that area as well.
You know, and I think you look at this from the state of television right now- it's kind of a good time right now for Indians.
On the whole, I think we're very much to say also Indians, guys, Indians, the new black sort of is,
actually heard that another thousand people resort the safe good minority in a world where there are billions,
indian people in the world yet and they in thirty two roles.
I have to say I I I was I
was randomly watching bollywood movies, the holidays
because they are so hilarious, fucking hypnotic, yet the colorful there, three hours, long
there. There's moments of drama, there's moments of romance, there's dance and until the difference between any of those
I will tell you about the fact that there is great fake fights. We're like the fist, like MRS faced by good foot,
Here the punching noise like ten minutes after it s a fantastic. I think I enjoy them on, ironically guy you're, a very direct unavailing erect level. There's some great ones do we just the music music is really lovely. A lot of them
I guess you're gonna do an urban india. Now fully I've been a poem,
were times not really like Bali,
movies that all polish films have lunch darker.
Very stoic people or an existential kind of other films. Are you now?
the workers don't unite into other. Should it's it's almost as if they went through something weird you traumatic to do any of it would be a very I mean our staff.
Long song like us, a shipyard in Gdansk
would be the equivalent to evaluate dance number at a translation,
but you did you set out in every road, as Poland are gonna be like cousin fantasy, they would say
I did actually is. I met them in the very friendly, my family
is very guess. I'm the very polish
very, very polish and very serious, so it actually really kind of fun to go there,
there's a them and see people, and we take pictures of them are not like a smiling right now and there's no smiles across the board. Ninety the pictures, because that's a sort of the cultural for just looks like depression yeah photo, isn't there is no difference between picture from, like the nineteen thirties and between the things, still work and work, something like that of the dresses and stuff, but very much round
suck out any color in France, just lift to a neutral position
yet, with a smile
I like smiling and pictures, I'm glad that we ve done that here in Amerika suggests.
Well smile and are you you can ever before the bigger yeah. I just feel like when I tried to smile. I look like I just have a seat,
of some sort
get it right. I had. I always do the I just saw something off camera like the most arduous. Just like looking off like I'm about to say something to somebody, I
Where do I mean he's weird noises? People have told me read before I take a picture of people or I'm like
and I don't wanna sailor. What I'm doing, but somehow the noise helps me put the like a like a happy, smiling unnatural, spontaneous ral. It sort of the ads greatly hiss,
you holding in your souls, stolen smile, the that's my get out again. If you ever see,
you see pictures of me and I'm not I'm not smiling, and I'm making like a weird raised eyebrows face because I hate my smile. I am
large lloyd.
As has been said about now
such a great land area,
I was gonna. Take pictures of you didn't use the right answer. My runs like a big. Oh he lamp. You have you pop
have you met the actual Abed and have hung out of them.
When a couple times I've, madam I met him actually very for some animals at the audition process. It was me Abed and make up a couple other actors, which was weird
as a rules based off of the role is being fired off of me. I was gonna wanna. One guy has been around for a while any so he's very funny. Really nice, hilarious guy and a role was kind of like inspired by.
He didn't get it but Jerome
Yeah you're, like a mile. The dinner was able to steer the wrong, but it's that was before I developed. The Crowley has the I saw that I did meet him there when some channel on a one and a desert Dan Harmon comes from this, and a lot of the characters in community are sort of based loosely off all that Dan. No, as even the dean's name is Dean pelted, which is a guy there's, a guy named dean pelting in Genoa, one seen how these isolated over those gentlemen, screenings, zither busy, other authors downsides, downtown, independent and add the set
I am actually madame- was at the Channel award Cicero. Those there, though I'm out him and Dan, was like it would,
presented reward with Abed and ass. I guess you're not knowing at all what he had in mind and she didn't show us what he wrote or anything goes all the teleprompter next thing I know I'm up
or what the real arbed, which was really awesome. Superfund he's a lovely person, great guy. We really fun time and-
Then I'm reading other teleprompter. I think abbots lying to me
last time that I said something to Dan Harmony, used it and made a show out of it, and then I said and now
I have a speedboat elsewhere, have a lot of people, and I was like a boy there's a little uncomfortable about it. Was it was really for everyone who ever was eludes us very self, deprecating Krakow, one as I still here, I told them. I still have flashbacks of some couple videos their thing. One was called everything and then another, and then another one was of this. This guy.
Where in the silver wig who kept turning into framed
add to the song, I think, by Maxwell, whereas I
Oh yeah, right at harvest, the visual? That's all it was this guy. Turning into frame with one tier Lenin,
over a wig, and I don't need any Catalonia story. I don't know anything about the movie, but immediately I was just like. I know that story, the universal story. Do they keep all those people? Those among those are all you go to channel under com.
I remember the issue. The issue was raised.
The lonely island on a really came from that and then that's how they got that pilot richly fox and stuff.
Great sea and it's a great CNN, it's incredible how many people have sort of have ties to ironic to have all the time or be no cross basil,
tat, I want to know that finance, Genoa, one works. The way the internet should work like fun towns,
We get together, they make stuff, and then they go on get jobs.
There. Those guys are starting to come up to you, Daddy genetic who does everything he does
A job as a director at funnier die away ass soon, ass I get a couple
guys romance key and J daddy Reasoner, like they do Blue Mountain stay for speed,
now I am kind of comes up and ends up in the end, the planning, jobs that they would normally think they were gonna do but you're the guy with the guys did a yacht rock, which was a,
very popular series,
he's now locations matter,
It makes one eleven over the razor and I met your body might Chilean who might
Did it make buzzing around a third one's gonna, be epic. My girlfriend
so help it out on our own high sir real big,
I played Morgan Spurlock in bad, because I just did I don't
do a good Morgan's, bride and presentation, but it was still a funny AIDS we had about it and Morgan Spurlock tweeted back
you're right over. So is that's weird. I never did he would see it. Don't ever underestimate the power of someone to see stuff on the energy they will stumble across, and where did you use
in Chicago you're, a dead yeah. I saw Osborne Rachel
I'll, go
I guess, a lot of the things that I found funny are kind
based on my household, because my my houses little crazy, because I
raise with my mom and her polish family, because my parents were divorced, and so we
that sort of this rotating cast of characters in our house who were in a recent immigrants
to America who are always staying with us. We were sort of the first family in America, so we always we're going to the airport.
Picking up an aunt or uncle, who wasn't really an aunt, not call that kind of thing:
It was to burn accordion lapse of authority, a gordian closet, my pants
yeah. It was that it was that experience but whose Superfund, because it was you, know, costly, we
weird weird stories of of you know
growing up somewhere else and very colorful ministers I went outside you know,
our neighbourhood, a sort of polish and hispanic. I think the hispanic
I looked a little bit more ass manic when I was younger, I think, and so I think some of the neighborhood kids you know like Carlos, you know, used to think
As you know, I wouldn't understand where they were coming from the pole
its dappling. We're like we mean we know, you'd understand where we're coming from some sort of like in the middle of all the returnees, variation, early, age or very nations that it really your feelings. I grab my pants and my gordian. This is out of my one man show tubers will mention of sundry me.
Recently threatened with reason.
My inner Chinese took up if I went back. That would be that the title of it so nobody grow but you're, not a loser.
My brother, my brother in his friends, always watching like money, pie, thought and stuff like TAT said, and I live in a huge fan of that. An extra that's
we're Chevy sort of came into the main, because I was a big fan of certain live, then
didn't understand necessarily all of it, but I loved the whole kind of
like Ministry of Funny Walks and that whole stop Giuliani, Python and and
We gray eyes I mean still,
You know bring out your dad. I still remember them doing that and the woman in the background, banging a cat against a wall legs like little things like that. Like really struck out to me, you know
and then a police academies watch that leg over
here again, I sort of kind of immersed myself movie they go in so doing we put my laser rosabella, please, God knows how cool Steve Gutenberg was too compared to how now he's just a big joke is a punch line, but he was the coolest
he was Maloney. Maloney was pretty fucking go.
I mean that in short circuit I mean that was another one, indian guy play by like play by white, orderly, parkers, yeah partner Stevenson. My
I was I was
dammit organised under the conditions, even better Data Michel fire he's like a irony, is a player. Yeah depend sexual Michel, Pfeiffer, Command of Europe. Johnny five.
What are you want the gold Geneva, we know at women want? So I think that's
watch and others movies and then having the whole that, like dice, hissed,
like second city at the time, which was really you no kind of big and Chicago and still remains to be remains.
Well, you know a huge effect. I make a medically sovereignty
a market and
actually want to scholarship amount of Chris Farley, which sort of lead me to you did
I did Farley's girl show there is
that I was the first actually Chris Farley's gush of war when I've even existed,
Junior college, and then someone tell me that was then scholarship.
Really, you gotta kill anyone. This is such a ban, but he I mean watching
and all that stuff. You know down by the river and everything you know was. You know
in Florence on me and I think our junior year of cards they establish the scholarship and is in his name, and I believe,
the theatre directorate, the time told me about it, and you know, I think I d rather not say and stuff- and I want- and I was very happy in my mom- was happy because
while some money for school, so that was really cool, but that really sort of China Gimme a little taken aback to be like. Oh, maybe I should start Lee, you know really focusing on
that's a little bit more besides, jumping on tables and pork potatoes on my head,
did the inadequate. Really I mean that's everyone's on one of those everyone's put food on themselves as a joke. That's a weird moment, though, when you're you're, you're funny guy or you're the funny guy, your friends and then to like then make the decision to be funny or try to money for a living and that it seems that you become less funny to your friends. Was you start doing
you're not a comedy front yard later, just your friends because you are like it's like. If you did your buddies, grown up and you're the funny guy, I'm gonna do this in every time you make a joke if there are very, as lifers, very hesitant to laugh at anything after that boy, after all, cause you're studying now learn that funny China, jokes, I mean our road is what I always did. I dont have any. I don't think I haven't noncom
friends anymore. I really, I think I had on mine
you're an eminently barometers like people you go to that are sort of your like test for, like you know, if not if they thought hangover was funny or
No! It's not like pop up, like that. I, like I, have friends sort of, like you know, still in Chicago and stuff that I'd really like to check in with every once in a while, because when they
Something really funny. It's always interesting to me. Now you think he's a reach them. My I mean my dad is a barometer, but for like the broadest death comedy, you know, like my dad, my dad like six or seven years ago said communism.
You should really check out this thing called blue collar comedy I mean you saw.
And you would really understand it like, like microbes,
of understanding and will have to be southern, my ground, so you're cute, his cut his sense of comedy is very calm is very broad. Did I talk about other biomass is questionable,
I'm on the when firm it. I did of course own on Jimmy all.
But they think so we did when we did. We
did Alcor zone might firmer than I do. A spanish song. That's all just medical facts about the heart, but it actually, but we wrote in Spanish, we perform it is about as I like it
as long as latino love, ballot, awesome and so
we did it on Kimmel of years ago. We had it subtitled
and my ten was like I saw your cable appears. I didn't
Stan why you didn't do an English well? Well, because the hawks?
Cept! Isn't it! You know it's medical facts about. The heart would be funny if we say meaningless, it's funny. If we say in Spanish,
it sounds very pretty within you see that it's just very. They want aid in the southern ice as you wanted, the blue. He just thought it whether he was like it was. It was just like. I
to read the subtitles at the bottom and adjust really took me out of it
It's funny. It's not for everyone here. That's that's a tough thing to kind of coming to that realisation that sometimes year jokes aren't
going to hit with everyone. They're not gonna, resonate with everyone, and you wanted
Wanna beyond the Kaufmann scale or yeah yeah, the Jeff Dunams,
but I think that in like in college, I sort of
started to realize, like I should study this. There is because I think growing up doing being the funny guy are growing up in doing comedy with your friend
There is the sort of kind of us
Should that a lot of issues like they don't care or they're, just sort of aimless and their part of being funny or part of comedy is a sort of like just aimlessness.
Not knowing what they're gonna do with their life and so actually taken direction
of your life and actually studying the culminated. It's it's a weird thing, but people
They realise that a lot of times, then really that's actually now it's important due to girls.
I mean how many times
the show and then like someone hackles, because there, the funny person in their group
like you and you always get a sense like you do
that everyone thinks that, in your immediate friendship is funny, but you guys all work, because I work at a at a paper company, so oriented at your your accountants, so he's funny to you, but but not really, not globally, fun,
Although we voted it moves, never everybody did you. Did you really stand up or was it just digital sketch an emperor was mostly sketchy improv. I did a little, but I stand by this was not good at it. I was never felt like really comfortable with it. I loved acting more. I love being part of
you learn and sample or a character than to me was like the most fun, and it still is the most fun is like you know, so I think early on
there's a lot more like doing not really impressions but sort of for my family like impressions of like polish relatives, or do you know I'm used to anyone
ok out on me, my favorite guy is upon Richard. Who was my post answer, structures a kid and wait. He was polish ended infrastructure. He taught you post dance. He taught me specifically. Policy
that's ok, yeah! Nobody knew any other dances bud.
Any other for it for bondage too. There is a right that it is actually just the bidding dance. It's never not five states who says bitten by low upon Richard because he came from definitely this era of cold war.
I mean the growing up. You know I was still like right when you know the Berlin Wall came down and everything, so there is still a big heavy tension with all my polish relatives. You know this definitely
fear of communism, and I he came from that era either. He was a very strict dance instructor, very strict, and I used to love it because used always
yet let us ass kids and some of them and my family, you know, would just kind of like just trust him, but you have to listen upon which, no matter what you know you have,
listen, a hundred, and sometimes I wish that it was more like that now with kids, but I remember every Saturday fearing him
So this is gonna. Give you a little bit upon Richard and that's usually there that's his full name, Pon Richard. I have no idea,
last name is, but it always is hardly has written. His name is Richard. Oaken means, MR or Sir, oh god, so there's pun Richard and his wife was Polynesia pennies, like MRS ok and punished,
Fine, you pay me shows how she's pretty attracted and then finally, they were sort of like good cut back up.
They were dance instructors and punish. It was a hard core. You are fake boots. He was great and a huge mustache so is located, was terrifying.
You know each other for dancing Blog Lizzie. What's today done you couldn't overshoot here so late?
You must listen to your mother. Where is she
So my why you're not smiling varies in my small. This is happy thence,
what are you smiling at back depends on where you go. Ok good come here
you're sure, nostrils mammals
by this, I guess not by our modern, it's a free association of the citizens in the same place. That's why because there they cared to gush gymnastics instructor lash. This region is not bad he's a good man. It's something!
I get a little russian with them, but I always remember him what I love about him. The most was him.
Ellen at me and then telling me to smile, I always like, but it was always like cooler git, you smile you. I tell you to smile
as is happy that at this point I would always trying to smile while kind of holding in tears. Secondly, it out at a vacation role having a good time. I got this bucket places on earth, so that is why the man they knew dance class. Did you get into a weird lesbian, stalker, like relationship with me? I remember. Let me see there was
couple years there was an ally and seen works, one of the boys so much discarded through this word to me this Plex one is isolated.
Government is Natalie Portman teacher
master bait, getting interrupted and then just gets frustrating goes crazy. One way and its veil it straight ass, remained he will keep interrupting area ever gets to finish the job and socially goes great lie and where we frustrating the creatures
like it. So, where there's a scene in our she starts to mass
They arose over an hour. Mom is moms they're sleeping on the chair, yeah she's, in the corner, and this I think we have decided that vote.
I think that every guy that's miles like the one thing they can they be connected in the movie where just slavery like getting kind of their money. I get that EU scratching energy links has very little salad river.
The law river- but I did, I think, part of them, but we did resonate with me because of the dance and structure of the new infrastructure was pretty hard core. That sort of use upon richard- and so I didn't realize, enrich the dances,
you're gonna pregnant.
In the other, real choreographer. I know which, which is
thing for my own eyes, forty about like where why, when we point an attractive when attractive famous girl gets pregnant or married, I feel like there's something that happens. Just
the biological over. But we must do their like man like they were
next on the list that didn't work out clause magazine was next, but I was like four.
It's just knowing that the possibility is gone, yeah, I'm sort of like weird. I see her when I went to be here and she was at Harvard at the same time and I see her and it was she was just.
Dickie with such a while back like back in the early unbar comic authorities to a couple shows and notice is: where does she doesn't necessarily
like Nellie Portmanteau when she's just hang? It actually looks like like a hot Indy girl yeah to say, who is that I saw,
time, same kind of thing running through like a room and
this kind of like wearing jeans and like headband or something, and it was
If any one of those things like damn at all
because they have at all, is all bit about doing Conan with Kate beckons. I was actually there just storing stage like like you get so mad cities that are putting me. I like, I could never have you read his dressing room and she walked by. He literally like punch the tray of cookies,
originally resolution that joke,
show when he was writing it and he had one thing
that joke that he had forgotten about. I had to remind him where he said something like since his dick got so hard. He was
the clean the creases, where there was dirt of that area. Look as other feeling this year, how girl, just as they have the data, have the self esteem to think they can guess it just like fuck you. You have to do that. If you don't want decide, as I saw it,
with my wife, I saw Tricia helper one time and I'm a huge fan about us are Galactica and that sort of
I had that's almost same reaction. I saw her and I was
mediately immobilized Gonna move couldn't do anything
and it just stare there for a really long time and am also kind of obsessed with robots. So having led by the way that it is urgent that layer to this and then just so just seeing her in my modest gods who battle service like like watching us,
guard. It was silent, terrible. I mean Emily resist what yeah
seeing her there like in my present
like in the same room. It was in
Well, then, I believe, I really do believe she saw me staring at her for a while, and I didn't know what to do. It was what kind of one of those moments like. If I was you know what a punch the tray of cookies familiar, might have devised a mega business
standing and staring
that's what happened. I've seen Katy Sack, often person a couple times and she's she's, pretty cute too. She pretty adorable like in and in it, and your tighten because of that, and it is, I think,
that, because you ve you already register them as someone that you that you know of, and so I think, that's it to an end that no matter how
old or no matter what happens in my life. I will just never be super comfortable talking to just talking to
Why you're to remind you that we deal with my girlfriend credits everyday, my wife do, but it's a little different when you see when you know somebody from watching them
is when you spent weeks and weeks watching about us,
we feel a little grieving yeah because you're like I know everything about this, the story and
Have this sort of images of the already so going into a conversation, pretending that to have that history? What do you do so give me bone and just see you know I've spent three years watching you, that's that's when I first when I first met when I first met JANET shoes performing at a show
and I was so like I do, but something happened where I wasn't intimidated
there was something in there was something in me that just sort of clicked it was like
suppose, as literally in and over the course of the next month. I just I think I just
round her will down. We ended up data. It was after a show ucb, and we we're at the cafe one one
you are already kind of like like Chris, was really enter just because you
hot gather them like this. She starts him the money on the issues whenever she brought up Tron, just Willy nilly in Amerika, the whites
I would remind you that door will look like if I were. You know those at the time, so angry nerves also, she probably is fuckin playing Chris. She rarely yanza. You gotta find somebody there. You gotta hit the chink and we went in our first date. She quietly region who person pulled out and set a reckon
That is our time on the table which readers and then just me, and I was like
Wearing doubts, though, is a great strategy. I I think that's a great strategy for most of us.
I think, the longer you're there I think girl
sort of where I got in
It is clearly not going anywhere restraining. I forget
that's really what a woman is. We re says we know very little girls who is a woman always has right restraining order or fuck we will. This is like the stories in the canaries sally. The little interstitial stories was, as I asked around every day until one day tat. He wouldn't stop. Bothering me exactly what he stopped coming around now or in love. You do that guy. Now you be like due to go into that daily rest periods are noble back in the old days about in the old days. You can do that.
When you, when it was important to just breed as quickly as possible, a better time for adolescents Georgette. Forty five, you hear me provision, so did you bring you in
were you second city person, I sort of unique experience of seconds Eddie I studied there. I completely the conservatory programme had second city and then at the time
that second city I this this is run two thousand three two dozen for
Secondly, in NBC were partnering because remember that
had soared this. I think that the first look deal something like that.
I was invited to participate in a showcase there and I just finished,
being a solo show of mine at second city, Danny Sky Box, theatre within second city,
and I did some excerpts from that solo show in the showcase and then house, through that I was invited to the showcase for
see out MOSS Angeles. That's kind of colleges moved in transition, LOS Angeles saw through second,
today, though I had been already touring and performing with a comedy group, there still writing
which is how I met JANET, because we welcome actually another one way: I'm
and it was because our group reformat separatist, were coming to us. Yes,
and also its Jericho producers are not people know that agenda Jenner Friends Company says: let's get out of the great festival, and so I was performing with this group that was sort of a number of problems
from second city and threats, and it was an asian American, Sketch, Comedy improv troop
then I was in that showcase. In that kind me LOS Angeles
and how long it was that there's like two thousand five whilst
five years hit show
was four years of man had show there is there is four years really looking forward to buy dialing commercial, really
before to a snack, rap commercial, doing a lot of comedy doing
getting paid a hundred dollars and some also add gay. Lord indian restaurant do comedy for an indian doktor convention. Things like that, where I guess it's just like any actor, and then you just hope that one day something will come. That makes sense,
and I got lucky because it really is a role that I love. I love and the show. I loves a great show interest I'd watch which it is like
you know I mean I just that's a sort of a rare thing to have a show that I could actually watch it. Can we really uncomfortable for performer to watch himself-
I don't like the really watch myself, but I could watch the rest the cast because it such an unstable all the time.
Fund is to see what everybody else is doing. It really is really.
Just a solid. I mean I've used. You can't
no wrong with a solid ensemble Castro.
It's really nice and refreshing to see more than on tv right now it is the very
I'm thinking it's it's a cool thing to show of everyday two sat and be
ok, we're in being a study room and it's it's sort of our bar. Like cheers, you know it's our study table, but it's always differently now, because what
they were just talking about nothing like how to pronounce bangles versus battle sea and its edits. I love it in holiday, used to say bangles pleasure in the throne, but there is also really late. There's your story! That's why we didn't do it always going to fight. You know you could win, never do!
because there's even that awesome, when were you just you had an entire storyline, but in the background yeah it was like that slight just awesome stuff like that for each and every one and that's why that's what I love about, I mean guys like Dan HARM and in the end and just Weedin in people who will in a like we'll do a handful of episodes that are pretty straightforward, probably just a kind of yeah we had
As for the network yeah running, but then once once they have the freedom they do tat.
The show to a wholly level? They are fucking with the format as much as during this episode, leading up to the funding of the with the format. Den Harmon will comment on it throughout the entire episode you you see it seeping through, has only just like the way he did just a girl. Just like just like you know during the start, motion episode. They let that kind of stuff. Those the kind of things were.
Go goddamn it if I had a show that that is what I would want to do exactly what I would want to do it, and it's incredible to be able to do that with
I always think like it's a twenty two minute comedy
and just I always thing about the places we have gone in a year and a half, I literally like fought zombies in a hollow. We never so I've played like a Batman character. I've war
sixteen different wigs, but we ve got a kick puncher comic
we ve been in Kentucky Fried Chicken. What is an eleven herbs and spices experience, space bus Sanders, Sanders yeah and then we went and we were able to be cremation and add episode of my dino say metabolism, who did Frank and all moral point. I was running on early servers, village virus.
So it's a smart, such a smart. You know written script.
Which still is stays consistent and true to these characters in this world which his brilliant idea
No, I don't know how they do do it, but Dave
the kind of do no one's got ass, it did moral oral. The other was, you know all the illegal Yonah Tb Funhouse denotes been
and mister, show in Mister Harvey show an early Conan Doyle and crooks in modern comedy, Dino Sort out yet many ways of achieving it. Had a lot of people know or have some ties are worked with Amity ineffectual
kind of the same age as I'm only in Chicago that's eyeing. If, if, if you, if, if
when listening. If you ever consume, like more detail, turned a theme comedy and intelligent shows, but does not allow us to call it, but about any just that kind
Mr Show sort of buying and even influence it influenced by anyway, you probably been
really influence, but you know I think this I could be wrong, but he may have written
although the audition did he wrote the other yet, which is one of the greatest. If you guys arrogant chances, he had one of the greatest sketches yeah, but here he wrote that's going to perform it himself than he did if they did it for
you're. So when he's it is one of the guys is next to bother yeah yeah. What? But what happened it? Why didn't you get drunk and through
bottle at someone at the COMECON panel. A couple years ago for more liberal arts happened cavack. I can get crazy sense like it could be
nobody would be a big. Yes, it's but that's kind of the to me. It's a wonderful thing for being I'm a big comedy history, buff
and thou showest, surrounded by so many people who I mean they may have, can John. We have jamak,
we have all these guys who had doktor. Can you know who I mean he was in
credible, you know unease, I mean the fact that we have all these kind of weapons. I feel like engine rash,
dean, Emmi, there's just so many so many talented funny beyond our shared Rash Emory, I'm under Jim. I wasn't at the groundlings, but I took I was. I was doing some improv stuff there for
while until I realize I obstacles stand up, Jim was rolling. Fucking off is also great in sky high, which is a very long animals overlooked movies. Ever so great, I love sky high and then what I wanted to say earlier, with spies like us and unfortunately, is why there has been another jerry we ask, I was really guy has got, has day, Foley's God
Kevin Mcdonald, it's got. The chubby guy
from now on. We have to break out of the person who also Bruce Bruce Campbell is in the name of a sprig of course, cut Russell closer.
Every night home we didn't want to escape from allay the other night. I'm sorry
amazing walks away. I hadn't analogy resorted like us: keep it was read, is really going to great. It was just like it was one step too aware
yeah ones have to wear global growth. Are you getting you must? You must tell the others must be rolling and wellbeing fallen out of its chance movie. I am sure they are. I haven't seen them now. I did. I did movie last year called nights about ass. Much is really fun

All those about ass knows live action. Roleplaying large lobbying.
In the woods and was rank ones in it, the girls go crazy. Re quantity is a fucking, fantastic, Aggies work. I think I thinking I think he
in the guy who plays Lafayette might be the two best actors on natural, Underwood yeah
the guy Lafayette. He I believe, did he go to Juilliard her. I think he might have wanted to. I think
Let's just say that both he's really talent of summer allows also in
some argyle and I've seen a caveat, but I can't wait miss it was a really
experience being in the woods with all these people for
two weeks wearing a cape and casting magic
spells learning about. I was an alert seaward John heater than Simon helper recalled Mama's boy. I got to dress. I got this huge bugging like bear head on and when these beckoned things and boots that didn't fit fake
there's that lets always of measurements of that? Had this huge bucket, double bladed cling on looking like bow thing goes off,
that's that's. It was the most amazing thing do, as I being other said, they had actual of real larboard there and they like alarming consulted for
