If you will have you heard of after shows, I've done a few of them. But I couldn't not do the doktor who one so that a bee Saturday August twenty third- and I hope it's amazing by the way capacity- is incredible and it is pronounced capacity. We felt we ve been saying capacity capacity, but it is compelled the I've confirm this with the man himself.

Oh lovely gentlemen, so I will see you on August twenty third, on that this episode is Nathan Builder, who I don't you see making for you on company central, but the chosen credible, and if you are familiar with the dumb Starbucks Sketch, then you will know that the shows majestic and if you aren't, then you should look it up.

Finale is next Tuesday August nineteen that ten thirty p m on company central or are they have so the real one c c dot com here is Nathan, feel there and theirs? I guess

There are five. Sixty I've lost my voice because of this doctor who have at last night, and I went away to the airports of assent like him in a hurry. That's why? Please don't think that I don't care about the syndrome sweating care about when we take even more time to tell you how much I care about giving you a quality intro, but now your prior, like yeah, but I don't need to be long. I mean you know: quantity doesn't equal quality, I'm lucky, I know by states. Need you know that I I care because Mc Caretaker and right nominal hug, you ok, we're hugging, take second two seconds too long. I made a creepy, it every time start the thing nor mean new star com

Welcome we just started. I was it really that was it So quick, I know, are you, ok came in, took I've your son ass it did. I did we're going. I dropped the note book on the table, but my phone Does the door opening and closing part he don't. I don't know not really not less not unless they enter the room in a really funny way right, it's not visual right, and that really doesn't ever happen. So I think it really is just the sitting down and then that's it. You wish.

Start warning people. Now it's great, I I said something terrible re when you came here, And that's why all Norwegian should be put in camps around I'm done summer camps, Burke, arts and crafts, and what not? How long have you been in America Let's start at the beginning. I moved here about five years ago, when I first came down because I had a job writing on Dmitri Martin Sketch show important things with to injure Martindale and thou kind My first slide to get a visa quickly and then I started working year and then how do you get a visa quickly? I guess, there's a way to pay to have it done quickly, fortunately comedy central.

No, that's! I didn't have to pay the money that are very expensive. It's tough! five thousand dollars, cheeses yeah. So it's tough for Canadians when you first come down, as you also have to get one for each job. Do so. If you do a new job, any idea, another visa and sometimes places will pay for you by sometimes not other cells. It at that sounds like such a scam or you another job. Sorry, you gotta pay another visa fee, gotta guy had that voice did when he settled, but now I have a green card, which means you can stay in work for when every idea to basically same is, but I can't I can't vote here and I can still be kicked out of the country, but other It's the same, get out. I used to take you out any american ass. Any american Pastiles leave

because I know that, but you can just say: excuse me you're, smart enough, yet allow Gimme, a cop scatter here we're just basically like douche bag, that a nightclub, and we can basically, like my friend, always play so you gotta get the log out and that's all you have to set out my best, but I feel we're not gonna have a lotta rowdy problems with you. Nathan, I feel like. I feel it I'll be ok, ok is it is. It is easier for Americans of illegal might be easier for Americans go to Canada work because a lot of us do go to your hometown of I think it's cheaper but I dont know the rules, because I never to do that for Canada by I don't know if it's easier probably is sorry how'd you get a green outage, obliged to dramatic American, or did you have to go through the process to know now it's a weird thing: you have to prove that you have to get a ton of documentation that proves Europe.

Listen with extraordinary ability lose what they call it. So you kind of after provide evidence that what you do is so tell you need, and it I've been. No American can telepathy the kind of extra elaborately you put. It helps Riyadh, sits very strange process after kind of ask your friends, people are you, like hey. Can you right really, nice things about me in a letter to the government. Can I like thirty ladders and you have to provide all your press and then lawyer. The thing that we submitted was like three inches thick little paper, it's a long process, but I once you get it it's great is a debt can actually use the premise of your show as were a real leg. Why come here and I help businesses creative ways.

I mean I've got it before that, so many, maybe that would have helped but then could have been like. Well, we have Gordon Ramsay here. Oh is also not a MAC. Now, no, not american at all, but they're like we already let one person in the country to do that. So we're not. It was. It was one of the time gas deliveries from a different continent. It is why don't I do without the accent You could be. You could be the north north. European version of that. Yes If you want, I see myself, I mean you are kind of Canadian, Gordon Ramsay re. Wouldn't you if you're describing yourself when you say that I will now yeah I mean I have less wrinkles in my forehead led besides that I hear or pretty similar. So where did you start? as a stand up or reduce doers get where you sketch and Improv stand well, actually in high school. I did improv and I also wrote I like it.

Wrote a play like a comedy play with my friend, so I was kind of into comedy in that way, but it was mostly live theatre stuff in that way, and then I stop doing that stuff for years and when I want university, but then near the end, I gonna of start getting back into it and I did stand up. I start doing stand up again. I used to do magic. Actually, you know when I was younger, so I was do parties birthday parties the magician and sometimes animals would hire me to do my card tricks that their grown up. It's not like that, but I was young, but then I stopped doing it and I was hired. The end of university to do a magic show at kind of like an live venue. It was a call. It was a festival like a jewish fast, all in Vancouver where they were doing. It was mostly stand up for they won me do comedy magic. I said it. Would it be? Ok, if I just did stand of comedy,

I'd, never done it before and they said yeah sure. That's very bold move. I don't know why it so stupid in retrospect, but I wrote fifteen minutes of stand. As my first sat and I wrote fifteen minutes of material just like on word document memorized it and then went and did it and was all kind of like old people in the audience, and I think some some jokes offended them lest kind of thinking like that was awesome like I killed two and then I remember like a toy, did or something, and I sent the tape to someone- and I was like check this out. This is good. Right now like to know, and so I cannot realise, wasn't I good looking back now terrible, but I got some laughs. So I was that's really cool. Remember what jokes offended the elderly people

No, I guess there is some joke. I remembered that, like it wasn't referencing the Holocaust, Some element in in the joke was like something in the Holocaust and I didn't know like some, I don't know some item I described in dagestan- were sensitive, no sensitive, no one's a couple. People mentioned it but anyways. I do now after that I kind of didn't. Do it for a couple years, and then yeah I'd then I started doing it again during the like this summer's Laden University and I start doing stand up local yeah tax, which young you know that vat in vancouver- and I would just do they- give you a few minutes, but I made a mistake, I guess when you first are doing it, its pride vestiges go not tell anyone like in just do it, but

told my family and every one, and so all my family and friends came to my first sets that I did there and it was. I live by bombed, a made that, yeah cause. You don't know you you just do you just think I am camps. I'm quitting I can be funny and you don't really understand- that the animal of a stand up crowd when they come specifically to see a comedy is different. Then, There's no pressure in your fucking around with your friends is a much different. Vibe yeah, it's dead. Really different, and I also you know starting out. You don't know you kind of look. You watch stand. I feel- or this is how I did you know, look at stand up and I'd watch comedians and I think tat. I got a kind of act this and I got a kind of talk louder than I normally you and I gotta be really confident and so was kind

I wasn't even really being myself and it was kind of it was very awkward and very hard to bomb in front of everyone. You know, Does he think they're going to support you, no matter what I mean yeah they're nice there just like it wasn't funnybone dime, oh, my god, you see we did get an honest response well from my friends yeah now, so my friends are pretty honest. I may have done embarrassing things and, for all my friends, lots more honest with me, I mean some Franz recycles fine, but you can tell on people's he sits earlier, but it was ended up being kind of the best thing, because once you Bob when you know it's, it's like every other bomb isn't as bad right. So move to Toronto. Shortly after that and was doing stand up there and it was strangers. So I didn't feel bad when I bombed. So it's kind of gay because I could do tough, but you know I kind of got the worst out of the way right at the beginning. I performed at the

formed it yoke yokes in ninety nine ads, it was the one that used to be on young and Ellington streets, and I think it's there one of its error anymore, and then what or it became yet somehow. It became the comedy bar. I think there is. Harmony, but though I know the one you're talking about a young and opening ten, it was a different one, uncommonly bars on Blur street. Ok, that's a good club. That's a phone call It's great. I mean that's kind of place, though few people do shows now. That's not because not like our main club right chain or anything because for a while yet gets really kind of had the monopoly on stand up in all of Canada yeah. I think they still do in in a big way because they, I think you're, the only one. Maybe that has a chain across Canada in lots of cities. So you sign then I guess and then you you have to do their cause.

Exclusively as a sum at some sort of friends are here with them and do shows with them, and if you don't, if you do another club you're out, they kill you die it's over. What is it you perform all over Canada, No, no, I just when I moved to Toronto. I was making short films. I kind of bought a camera and taught myself how to make films and edit my sloboda on final tight- and I was doing that and also doing stand up and then I was mostly doing it in Toronto. Just I got introduced to some people that had a show of their called righteous Wednesdays was this kind of collective There were doing more alternative type, comedy are going to the shows, a fan and eventually nervously ice news. Guy Brian brand Barlow was a fan of two. If I could show a video one of his shows that I made, and he was, I guess, you're and I was so excited and

I shouted the show and people like death in some of the comedians that I've been watching, came up to me and was like we're like hey you wanna make a video together, Oh my god! This is crazy gas. So then I kind of started making videos Dam and Nehru asking me to perform on more shows and some kind of doing both things, but The video stuff I was making people are responding to like those seem too going over well or I felt like I said like I found my my voice with those a bit quicker than with stand up right instead of Turkey, because at a certain point some people go what am I gonna is this going to be a stand up now it is going to be a stand up. Then that's gonna be a lotta touring and that's gonna. Take you know ten years, that's gonna be a lot of, or you know, and a net, and that might seem appealing, but if you like, a lot of people for a lot of people, stand up is really. The gateway to. Actually

is the slight different iteration of the way that I want to express my comedy here then standing up and in telling jokes, yeah and obviously like a lot of stuff. I do now is very interaction based people. So I guess that type of you know the uncomfortable social stuff came more naturally in a short film form than a dead withstand. I didn't really not do it. My stand up at first would just these kind of more absurd one liners kind of like Stephen right get stuff like that yeah, that's how I started out with my stand up and then, but I iconic. When I started, jobs and tv based on my short films and stuff. I would stop doing stand up. I know withstand up you kind of have to just say like this. In my main thing for least ten years. That's right yet! Well I mean I guess it just depends on what you want out of it like if you wanna, if you want to sort

he climbing a ladder and do bigger and bigger venues and be until I put out comedy albums than the air you just have to do it for a really long time and keep figuring out how to you know you have the tour cycle so you don't go to the act of the same cities too often you go back just enough and in every time you go you. If this legacy, you should have a certain percentage. Bitter like a real there's, a little bit of a formula behind how to grow it. That way, I think, but how many years did you do it before you started? play those bigger venues. Oh my god I mean it were. See. I really I really started, instead of four I'm in ninety eight and I think it isn't until just maybe like a couple years ago. I mean I I started headline in: oh eight, so ten years I started had lining and even I was kind of rough because I wasn't nothing that I

who is really drawing people out to chose right so united, just playing too paper rooms of just like random people that got free passes, yeah the club just basically tricks and coming? drinks wings, and so you know it's, but it's good. It's it's a good thing to do if you're, because if you can figure out if you can figure out how to stand on the log like in that environment yeah, because those people, Really there not invested official foe, they didnt pay for it yeah, they don't know who you are right, I'll, never get tougher than you really have to win them over, and so that's great, that's a great thing, but at a certain point, when you do that, and I would like to really but people who come out on purpose and that's that sort of like that's now happening in so I gotta say it's fucking great areas. There are some some shows me. I know you didn't really does have argued in really have the tour around I you know I feel it. Touring, Canada might actually be a little.

Gear than touring America, because this is just maybe my prejudice- preconceived notions about Canada, but you know I feel like maybe your touring, like logging camps in the dead of winter, for like a bar that will pay you to come and perform for people re use. Rifle trainings afforded snowshoes though she was a snare, will be able to get from where you are to the location. I mean it's private, I'm guessing its probably fairly similar. You others, clubs in the city and were more were all clubs and you get different audiences those, I honestly don't know, but the toughest were Canada's the cities are so far apart. So I mean around Toronto. You got a few suburbs that have clubs that are close. I think, but the space between Calgary and Vancouver, which are like you know, is very basic and Alberta in Montreal and arrange it see. You now asserts if you'd have to fly

guess, roar, it's gonna be a very long drive area to do these Carling many tours around. Just a few cities yeah, I'm speaking about some I have no experience when I just so. You know as well as a Canadian, though your moreover authority than I am so I can. I have no other cities are now you could you know. What's hours ago you could say the mayor of Albert as a wolf and I'd be like I, your Canadian, you would no more than I would I'd, probably believe, but the the Nathan for used sketches developed CBC right yeah, so the ice got higher on. This show called this hours twenty two minutes and they came across the short films I was making in Toronto. Just with my friends where we really low with these posted anywhere alone, yeah a lot of them are saw online. I thought of taking them down at a certain point, but then I was like because a lot of its just colleague no you're messing around now, like the best quality, all of them I think it's interesting began to look back and see

this is what I was doing here. I don't know- I think it's markedly mafia anyways, but yeah All of them are still on liner, most them, maybe but out it would just be like mean some free We would go to park a lot of times. I didn't I had a light, so he would try to structure ideas where we chewed outside so look kind of nice, and then there We know that the camera would be on. Are the microphone would be a shocker MIKE mounted to the camera because it enough time like any resources to sound person said if I wasn't, he The camera, it would usually be from another actor who is in the sea and holding it for one shot so as a very weirdly thrown together, but it was at a time rightly, you too was just starting. So warrant a lot of high production values, and in a way at the time, mind, look just as good as as most of the stuff on you too. So was kind of

without because I guess you know and people most who care about its. Four comedy I guess, but the people just out this has twenty minutes, which is a serious issue, came across some of those shorts and they ass. If I wanted to be a corresponding done, the Show- and I hadn't really watch the show. I was aware of it because the very famous canadian show that's been around for a while, but it's been on for twenty years and I didn't have tv at the time, so I can really watch it, but yeah they just I knew that I love I like to edit and direct my own staff, so I asked the guy who is hiring me. If I could do that on the show- and he said well, we don't normally do But if you want to okay, which is great cuz, then they set me up with my own. You know MAX to edit on, and it was great so I kind of went there and I kind of have to figure out how to do

These. They want me to do some sort of interactions with real people. And the show normally skews, very political and topical I'd prefer not to do that type of stuff. So I just tried to kind of make it fast. To the news that shows Carling newsy a little bit like Canada, daily showers writing. But so I tried to do it. You know emulate more of a small town news reporter and do these kind of interviews with real people, experts and stuff in the guise of kind of local news, consumer advocate type reporter, and then that's where the that's. Where I was born. That's where I kind of figured out. That's you know doing that stuff and then, when I I use samples from that show to pitch Nathan for you to call me central, a kind of picked. A couple segments. My car said a bigger version of this sympathy

well when you, when you first agenda for company central, did you did no really exactly, I mean like how's. The shirk, zero new jobs this year in the third season now are the show got picked up for third parties or things about to start. Season. We just got picked up for a third season. Less less than a week ago, so now, you're now you're gonna go into production for the well yeah. I guess the second seasons halfway through airing now, but maybe His hair is only later, but we got picked up for thirds ease, and so I have to figure out how to possibly do more of this stuff. I mean it's with this kind of that, because I am sure that people, with the show its basically very it's a lot of its basis. People not knowing that its. If that it's a stunt, ultimately and he had a lot of steps. Like that, when we go to real small

This is, and I give them these unorthodox or out of the box ideas on how they can better market themselves or make more money. Did you did you do of degree and marketing? or business didn't don't ya. I actually I went to university in a first aid when it I didn't not. I was gonna do so. I just tried a bunch of things. I did science. First, general arts in and I ended up gang and degree in business to from underground, so majored and marketing and entrepreneurship side do actually you know the language- and I know the mindset of a lot of like a marketer. You know so it's fun, drawn, because I I don't know a lot, but I you know some, so he I'll throw some terms in their sometimes or I know how to frame it in a way that, like that mindset. It's kind of a go funny mindset when you're thinking just solely on how come

make more money and not really thinking about how it affects the people or the of the world. Are you actually helping businesses? I mean. It strange. I mean there. I mean the goal of the show is to tell a funny story. Over all bad. Go to these real businesses with these ideas- and it's very important to me because I'm having convince them to try it that it will actually work in some capacity Usually, ideas are a bit more risky than the businesses would have it tolerance for a reasonable person would which is kind of sweet. You see there. You see these. The kindness of these but where they you can tell Does nice small business owners, but they don't want to be to me. Maybe so you know they'll try it because they want to hurt my feelings and said: Bad idea have the times, but do they that they understand what the The show is where they know they will show. No, no, they don't know, I mean oftentimes. I think,

try to find people that you know are open participating in a show with very little information re about it. So there are certain types of people that just get filter because they want to know specifically what we're gonna say and do grow and they want to know they ask a lot of questions about it and many questions. I mean that's the type of person they might get upset if something doesn't go or goes on and on spected way. So we don't want people to be upset, so there are some. Although, where you just say you know what we say like some of the business background, is gonna come in and pitch you ideas on how you can better Marquis yourselves, improve your business basically and then take it from there and some people. Just with that information are comfortable moving forward. It's interesting. How much of your so just from this type of stuff, you started doing you're making videos, how much of your environment and your skill set dictates. The time

comedy? You can do so what you are saying that what we know how to light lights we shot outside and we had very like the way they had. That dictates what you can do, like just just the sort of box that you can play in, because, if you don't have to, yeah and then so you're going into these businesses. Then you have to find places that are willing to not ask questions and cannot go along with stuff or, and so that also affects, like the type of shows that you can do and how you can Broke it and what what and where you can go bits, it's pretty it's pretty interesting. That's which is dependent on these outside forces, and then you can kind of coming into your thing. Yeah. I guess I guess you're, saying too, I think it's a lie. The time you know, I just know how to do things a certain way. So I just figure it out. I had almost rather just you know, take up a Cameron film. Something then try to like I'm worried if I try to organise it and get a budget and get funding for assurances, I won't find the idea funny anymore. So when something happens,

It is very much eager to do it and I just want to figure it out but I lot of the show you know you know it's a great team of producers, never one, but you know we ve had to kind of figure out just how to do it. I was going to initially came in with all the stuff I figured out from doing the stuff on this hour. Has twenty two minutes, but then you know beyond that to expand it. We just had to figure out how to make a lot of these ideas work. And you know, there's no real rules and often times people are having to do things that a normal tv, production or crew. Don't normally do so. It's great. It's a really the you know smart scrappy team that antenna throw this thing together. What was the first sketch that blew up? Because I like another something before dumb starboard all we had, we had a thing in this first season and where it was,

putting do all right, my writing, the pig rescuing a girl was it Raby go there's just we wanted to create, if people are going to pegs, if there is a star animal there, we made a fake you're, not wrong, so yeah the idea is kind of and its I feel like that. One actually work, so you know I like stuff like that. That is just funny and in that one it's kind of almost the main joke adjust the absurdity of how it had to be executed, and you know we had to have scuba divers kind of like secretly guiding the pig towards The goals are underwater track that it could stay and and is very elaborate to execute this, but yeah it's just kind of taking it and then you know I get paranoid. The people are gonna tell the secret so take it. I'd like to go beyond just that business It is kind of a magic trick, your kind of doing magic. Still, Well

yeah, maybe as misdirection yeah. I mean really funny. I saw this. I saw magician, I go them, Gee castles on time. I love it. There are still so fortunate. And I wish you and always get magical out of its kind of bad, but once in awhile you get someone, it's really good and smart, but talking to this magician there- and he was kind of saying that A good magician, it's not about the actual trick he's

farming in any way. It's about his interaction with. What's it like the deck of card psych, when a card is turned over and it's the wrong card, you see on his leg of the magician kind of moats a little bit like. Oh, I am disappointed in that and then when he sees the right, cardy, surprise ass, like small facial expressions, and he was saying that's what makes magic good like that's what you're? Actually watching- and you don't really realise that, like you, just think that looks good or bad, but when you see a magician, it's really about him, interacting with like the cards as like all that so smart. I thought I was so smart because I I never really. I about it. In that way, I decides about. Oh, you do some sort of performance, but it's your what we're gonna work, in the subtle emotional journey that the magicians going through the whole time. In a way, that's probably no one would even be able to articulate and and no one ever dazzlingly tugela magic. They just say that magicians, good or bad

but I think in the show to unite. I think, that's what is the most interest part about. It is something similar to that end, I ve been more tune in tune with it after this guy was kind of talking about. That is that it's, this very silly premise allow the times, you know the patting Zoo, Weiner doing something very dumb likes selling, getting it over charges Pooh Yogurt, or something like very juvenile that you know the thirteen year old me would laugh at but you're watching. That happened, but, like the really the main story I feel like. Maybe that's interesting to people is like. The subtle kind of emotional journey of the people involved in it and seeing them kind of being, like I'm, not sure about and then maybe liking it later or having some sort of interaction me. That's very, I don't know like they find me strange. Find me normal and then they find me strange said pair.

Was that in a weird way I feel like I'm getting waste is any man a letter is anyway as anyone his is. Anyone still implementing any of the ideas. You know there was someone from the first season. I helpless caricature artist, by. I guess the idea was that characters are in all comedy and none of your characters are loud equation. Assaults comedy should do so. Just how to do them to a very extreme level. To the point where allow then we're like extremely racer Sturgis just sexually graphic and he did it and then he branded himself as the king of Sting and so yeah he He did it and actually you know a lot of times like I don't know. If you work, get upset or out of people would react to it, but people kind. I got a real kick out of that and I noticed he's actually.

Website he. He doesn't do it exclusively, but he offers like I'll come as the king of sting too, like parties will justify. Frenzy our if it's like for at all the surrounding messianic, so I guess he's still cannot be here and we actually have you learned the Abbe actually learned anything from all over the give. You noticed you see you're going into these businesses that need help. Do you notice on a real business level, like common mistakes, that you noticed there making like kind of a did. They just did so there Sir wow seems like there's a consistent thing that happens with all of these places. I mean sometimes it's just kind of you can tell us main priority for them their business remain. People are very obsessive in particular about their business, and we encounter people like that, sometimes in the shower, and you can definitely tell when someone's very controlling of their brand, but a lot of times, people just treat it as a very casual thing. It's not really

really trying to innovated or grow there, just kind of pretty casual and thinking again produced what I'm doing now and I don't be due, forever. Cigars probably makes the difference in some way by I don't those people are also very like feel it. More normal to interact with in a way. The very same seem like very casual about stuff never gone horribly wrong. Yeah a couple times at the summit girly on first season! We you now a big part of doing the showers managing people and making sure people you know, even if they get it, comfortable, sometimes are never upset, but once in a while people into an area and we are bad with managing people. Season. So not always, but one time

and then it didn't like that. Just the person left a bit absurd and we were felt bad and then we figured it out from their how to not let that happen again. So? It is a learning process by we we got better. I think, after that you know. Sometimes just someone's gonna react a certain way and they don't and you can't predict sort of the rescue run when you're kind of fucking with people a little bit like you tat you never, I would I will I will I feel like when I was like years and years ago. Maybe I don't know for some type of a prank show like some type of a year in public, in your pretend one thing, but it's not really in your. It's really more about getting rash people, and I just I feel really bad. I cant do. I can't do it because I would immediately be like outside we're just by eight is, is the thing and I wouldn't. I would merely I'm not good at fucking with people. Well, one of the things that I have a lot of trouble doing too is hidden camera stuff. I can't really like that's very the benefit

the show is that the there's full awareness that it's a reality show and people are participating in a tv show, it's not like I'm going up to a stranger on the street and having some sort of interaction they dont know, they're being filmed for the most part, so I think that helps in away where it seems. Like you know. Most of the cards are on the table. We don't play up that the intent is comedy but, like you know, the people agree to participate in a show and kind of generally no the premise of it. You know, so I think that helps alive in terms of you know, making it just more kind of weird moments and less about Jacques moments or some that's, can I had someone stirred up right yeah? Well, what was the word of the idea for dumb Starbucks come from? I I guess it came. I came out of the writers room fairly organically, a lot of times. Ideas start with one type of thing and then they evolve

to another. You know I have two ideas: they don't really make sense, are really work normal combined element May I go alone? We just do this so. Initially, we had an idea still a good idea. I don't know it's almost just as funny the idea there is. You'd like to help and adults, an adult video store and You know the argument was that you don't people by their movies online. Now, because it's anonymous right, no one wants to be seen walking into a store. So if you could make going into a store, you know. Make that anonymous. Then more people might come so just basely. Changing the storefront to being a Starbucks of like an asshole, or, and then people would eventually come in expecting coffee

just gonna be like lower just sell coffee as wealth. People people want pastries with their coffees. While we sell pastries to an adventure, the pouring just gets moved to the back right and then it just you end up with just basically a Starbucks. I mean I was the idea for a long time. Obviously you know, but I remember it buy me a little better that we just like fully go to just like make a Starbucks you not. I mean and I don't like ideas that much at our have some your whole and outwards is so obvious. This could never work so we are trying to think of a way like how could you make some like this legal and then we are somewhat talking of parity and we're just talk about you know maybe was like foreign paired, I don't remember how it came about, but eventually yeah just kinda very quickly, this whole notion and then we changed it to helping a struggling coffee

and using parity law to kind of have them have brand recognition. So that's it. Kind of like just a weird, and obviously it turned out great in terms of how the whole thing played out, there was a very interesting laid out as as well as you could pass. Me. I was a cry out of the air was very knots and legs very surreal, but did so let's get were they oh, that or were they STAR backs eyes, I mean they didn't contacts mere the show directly, but they do I think the media was hounding them for some sort of comments. They said that they weren't pleased with it thing in that were not allowed to do it, but they didn't you to the bread zone. Have a better sense of humour about like that. I don't know it. Doesn't it's like you're gonna take a chair, got a Starbucks monster. You know like vision, of course, he I mean

time to they probably didn't know what they were dealing with in terms of what it was. So I'm sure if we kept it open for long enough, they would have step and in some way, but I wonder if- and I wonder if in there- I wonder if their official statement kind of has to condemn it a little because if they say oh, that's really funny and then a bunch of people start doing it. Maybe I don't know, but I also think that their acceptance of it emits so you do it then it's basically, you know it's. It's a little bit subversive. But then, after that happens go. Oh that was really funny. Then all the sudden of that takes the teeth out of it, and so anyone else who does it after that. I, after that psychotherapy, think it's they already. I'd have acknowledged it. So there's is no point in doing it again. I'm here must be tough for them, because also you know they don't want sue, probably and perpetuate in our reputation. They have for being here

Jesus right, so they also can't do nothing like you, sad and just kind of laugh so puts them. In this kind of weird zone and really I mean it's so funny. I feel like the EU can do something in a major corporations, takes a statement that was just like the fact that they had to address it was so crazy. He for the four all of us as to what When yeah. I mean, I think that was you know in the show, allow the times it's about like trying to find situations where you can put some in a situation where you kind or know how, though reactor kind of its a difficult situation for the person, and a socially and this in a way I felt like I was kind of like we're doing that with Starbucks, where it's just up they it's a tough situation for them to address. And not know how to handle it. So

it was interesting to see the whole thing play out and a lot of times we do stuff in the shower we're just kind of throwing something out there and seeing how will interact with the real world and what will happen and then kind of embracing as part of the story in the show. So that was just one of those times were so he episode was kind of you know we kind of evolved. Did a bed around what happened? I have. I have a pitch freer, anonymous adult video store. Yes, cause you're, you're right and I think a lot of it. I think people who do go to those places are do go to peep shows, I think, that's a separate vanish like they kind of wanting to be out, because you can't you, just get in the I mean you write taking the other perspective, but but my Let's just say that it is that you go okay, so your problem is that people want to be able to come here or not. Without being recognised. So you basically just you, make the place complete

dark and you base within users can people who, like little narration, goggles and then just they have to say. I think with the bed is just all these people, just like rifling around like trying to figure out like what I'd like where the cash register is in trying to see what the porn is and bobbing India, other right after maybe get lights, to view guys, but you care about that. But basically it's like you know like the black hole or the dark room or something where there is no other black holes, a good name for so where there's no there's, no double meaning there, no lights aloud and the entire place has to be pitch black and up, and then they have to figure out how to sort out their porn that I like the way you feel like a place. I vow would be popular enough that people would bumping into each other its crowd in just always empty. I mean you don't know, maybe that maybe that's you know, no one's tried it s, so maybe that's. Maybe there really is to be regretted that maybe that's the missing ingredient

the I who knows. I love the initial idea so much that maybe we'll have to figure out some way to make that it makes something like that have you ever thought about season three, yet in terms of do how do you have a list of ones you didn't get to and season to that you wanna do are some kind of ideas that were rough, that you know. I really like the general concept, but we couldn't fully crack. So sometimes you revisit certain ideas and then you figure out the thing that actually makes them work later, but it's tough to think in its tough to construct these ideas in a way where it will not only work. A story, but also you can execute it with people and has a lot of the scenes we going to rely on chance. We hope some lacked a certain way. We hope in a play, I'm sorry MA. Am I a dozen we take this story in a different direction, so it's kind of like rewritten several times. Oh yeah, you shall have lie. You show us to be.

Super flexible and the editing arises very long because it's like it's kind of rewritten there we're trying to use the best footage or tenor right the story around how much I have do shoot for each so well, you know, I don't know I've. Never added a normal shell, but one of my editors said that this is like more footage than ever show he's ever worked on, so I mean I would imagine it's it's pretty brutally Not only are you essentially constructing a version of reach I will show, but it is also a comedy show, so you can't just have let's just go. Well, here's the story, it used to be story, everything has to be funny. You have to find all the funniest moments and then construct inimical to build around the azure acknowledge out. It's also a kind of I don't want to feel like show where you know most reality shows that do this type of staff have the same story structure every week like every episode, pretty identical unjust slide in a different business, but I don't want to be

like that. I want it to be like every episodes kind of surprising for view earn. Even if you seen everything you still kind of surprised every episode. Yet I'm way so a lot of times. You got to reinvent the format and try to do something totally different. I put that pressure on myself, so we'll see what we can come up with you now for a third Now how we don't have to tell us what do you think of as a successful results, story like what are you? What are you is it? Is it if its super funnier? If it's like? Oh, we really affected some weird change or or it was you know like like the pig, the pig video. I think millions and millions of I mean I think, it is the most important thing like just that were like doing if we did

something that went viral every week or something the show would kind of got very redundant. But when these things happen just very randomly or just you know far apart, and you know it's it's more interesting and how they happened is interesting. But I think it's I don't know. I think it's. Based on just a funny idea. I mean one thing that we were: we did this season that we never did last season was we have two episode season that our complete stories kind of like one idea, flows through the episode, which is very hard to do in this form, have because most of our segments are kind of eight minutes. Do another segment, so we have a couple episodes like than those were. I mean I think, watching those are the most satisfying in awake as he never after reset,

you know you didn't you just following a story the whole time. So I'd like to do more like that, if, as possible there, there tougher think of ways to keep it going and often times they depend on just getting lucky or interesting story. Things happen in the real world yet, but the Sir interesting, to do what's your ultimate like what would be the ultimate thing? Would it be too? Would it be like scale of the business that you come into, or is it just or is it just like we affected so much weird change, so much comedy came out of it, but that's like what's what kind of? What's your white whale. One thing you know that I'd love to do that we kind of touched on a little on the first season. Is, do something with bigger corporate action where they give me access

which is kind of an impossible dream and thus the more like the more seasons you do. It might like. The more evidence you had they have of like. Are you coming? You can't get this guy acts or maybe a popular now, for this is good promotion. You have the right. If you have like a smart marketing team in a company, they will what we had quiz knows in the first season and have this I mean commie central. We think witnesses bankrupt now. So obviously, this product play they did not shifted, didn't work, but they did a product for they wanted to have an integration and it first start. In this very strange way were you know we kind of wrote them in a script as a joke and asked if we could do it and then, by the time they got back to us, we had already shot. The second, So then we're like okay well will move on and they call me central was I'd. Know quiz knows really wants to do this like they have to be an. There are very important sponsor.

Oh my god, so we tried to come up. We first offered them sponsorship of the clause. Shame episode, which is this escape. I did when I try to avoid becoming a registered sex offender and they said now we then said Anne Bankrupt. So yes, We had this thing where I was trying to yeah. Maybe they should have done everything to save their company. We then tried to do this segment with we had this. There was a guy that worked on the show that I was trying to set up on the dates, and we mention that. Never let go. That would be great. We want to do that, so we try to make it that quizzes nose like

The date how to take place at a quiz knows, and then they were feeding me basically branding cues, to say to him that he would say to his date during Dave, but she wasn't aware, then he added here peace, so we're in another room. I was in a room of the quiz, knows marketing rap and she was saying to me like have him saying, toasty or something you just be like talking with this girl and he was toasty set up like that he's really Sweden kind of genuine guy. Doing this, and so, but it was funny because you know I was asking questions about quiz- knows injures yours asking. Her just questions about working at the company and and her thoughts on the company and stuff. Like that, you know before or while we are starting to film, and then you know after we should,

they kind of sent us an email saying like we can't have you having any of these things that were discussed in it stuff, like that, any I think it turned out well because there I think that a good sense of humour about- and they still left some stuff in that is a bit weird and make it look like a very unnatural kind of product placement thing. But I guess that's the issue dealt with these bigger companies is that there are very big legal teams in their power foreigners, lotta relationships- and that was the weird thing. Starbucks too, as you know, Starbucks is a big company. I'm not a big company in my show. Isn't but via com that runs the network is a very big company. So there's a lot of interest that sometimes conflicts and you have right

You know concerned about affecting long term relationships between these two larger corporate and right. You know when you get to the higher absent when something gets a lot of attention, the people that don't normally talked to us day to day on the show begin charming in and these aren't rate of peace. These are legal people here, because if you- and it's also add salespeople because if I- u else right, if you, if you piss off, what's a quiz knows, but now it does, a fuckin matter but let's say you piss off quiz knows and then all of a sudden Viacom gets a call. The quiz noses bore pulling all their sponsorships from Nickelodeon. Unlike for other channels, then than Vike gets real upset, it's a deal ends. You know

These sponsors are much more powerful than any executive at the network. Like a kind of you know if they are upset with something, fortunately, the people Commie central in the creative people really go too bad for me and the show and they fought to get make stuff happen, which is awesome and I dont of dumb Starbucks would have been able to happen a flake we didn't have like really like people, it really love to show, and want to fight for the creative stuff in it also. I think I think, with a brain like Starbucks and really do commercials, so they're, not, I feel like they're, not buying time on channels is, I don't think yeah I mean I feel like right if Starbucks was a major sponsor on Commie central IDA, a very different story. I don't know it's hard to say so. This is more prank show idea, but you gave me an idea with the quiz knows thing: they could be able to do anything with it, but imagine

you built one of those giant conveyor belt ovens that they had no you're right, but the sandwich in and it takes away through, but its fake. And on one of the conveyor belt you put like cats are pats or whatever they go through, and then midway through. They can drop down to safety in and someone else like puts like a sandwich like a roast beef sandwich, but in the process. You hear this like took the rear you hear the sound effects and then you see if you see the thing in magic trick, guess you see the fool you see the food come out the other end just just to see what people's reactions to that I don't have an official writers guild contract with me that I have the money. I can give you yes or other stuff you gotta. Fifty. Where do you get? Where do you get fifties? Those are. Those are not easy to combine, got paid for a show and catch up up up up listening sets.

On the other. The deal delegated fifty sir, there is economic zones spend a vegas because they come back as the machine spit out hundred dollar bills. The atm there and most places just don't, will not take them, they're all its most useless currency right in a weird sort away. It's fine one guy, like I remember having money, and I had a fifty once with Ngos in canada- and you know you roll up here- I don't have a wild. Sometimes there's put money in my pocket; rather, you have money if some people might eclipse, but then the guy notice, the fifty was on the insight he's like no, you gotta put the fifty on the fuckin, dont even ask I was on, and I was like what that's like makes sense anyway, because it's like you're more likely to spend the smaller bill, maybe also

Why would you want to show off your most expensive money, you're gonna get raw. My dad always warned me about that. He was like always put the bigger bills on the inside like rap everything in US innocent in a one. I think this guy was more like you show up. Cause, I don't know, I guess you want to show you have a fifty dollar bill in seas even if you have fifty and some other doesn't really show that could be my money for all anyone knows I mean if Some one all the sudden is going to fuck you because you have a fifty dollar bill wrapped around your money, you don't wanna fuck that person if that's the reason that that happens, but the person you are those aren't those are the people you wanna get do enjoy being in a country that has more of a paper based currency than a coin based currency, our money as plastic, the chain show you. I was just there

Are there no aluys in Tunisia anymore? Well, what do you mean a coin? We we do of Tunisia but I just whenever I go to Canada, always get this giant pocketful of because it means that smack my balls. All our bills are made of that material. This I know, but it put it out, but it's always the it's always the one in the two dollar clear. We still have that you'd, just like that are just like up a bell against you're against turn nods. It's a thing. How many are you carrying around with you about three hundred I just go. Let's get might be the problem if we really do have five dollar bill, so I know that you have no excuse to have more than two smell like maple syrup. Yes, no I'm not getting Homelike Z, that's where it really does Melick, maybe he's that I was you know: snark communal really does melick maple syrup buttons,

I mean, I wonder what I mean I might have got it at a restaurant, those dealing with you no pancakes or something actually, the last place. I went to breakfast play. So maybe, let's just assume They all that all the money smells like maple syrup- or maybe I have made us here from my pocket. You can't get kicked out of the country for that. You can get your debt of Amerika so Nathan for you is York were currently in the second season right now, yes, tuesdays at ten thirty, I think check you have to check, only come love that voice. How can a voice for that's what I can do and then you're gonna start writing authorities more. Congratulations on the show, and I hope it continues to be fun, and I I I do not The challenge of like, as you do more and more seasoned like how the fuck do we top everything we did last year and how and the boy you? Do it like people going to start to know they're gonna start to recognise, but I guess I guess because,

and a near infinite number of businesses in a city like LOS Angeles you'll, always find someone yeah and I'm very. I mean it's nice people think it's that popular, but no one recognises the very few but you don't know, I guess that's part of the challenges. It's scary. To figure like I go. Indices into. I thought we were done. I didn't think we'd be able to accomplish anything else, and then we somehow did so nice to play this trick on myself, where I'm like. While I guess maybe you do come up with that one. You can't think you know you're not gonna cope with every idea at while, which is what you want to happen. Real, like our will. Just do these ten things here you just have to, and I areas that I feel like our good too, go into that I've won a crack fight, so will see if we can do that who was season? Three? All answers will be one of his just season. Three has just you like. Every other are growing

I didn't know what to do. I don't you actually have to help your own show that might be the last few years has done to promote Nathan. For you, yes, and I definitely think that's something there. We are. We were going to try and idea like that in the second season, though, we might might be under this hung around this villain nice to see you. Thank you so much for having.
