Carrot Top: From Props to Punchlines in 30 Years | Carrot Top DSH #792

You know, it's so easy to be pulled in any direction with with all the with all the you know attractions and the things and the side things.

Hey, there's parties, there's drugs, there's booze, there's money.

And then you're like, you know, I got to be a pro.

I got to go home and I got to write some jokes and I got to do a show tomorrow.

So

you got to stay focused and always keep it tight.

Yeah.

All right, guys, got Carrotop here today.

Longest running comedian in Vegas history.

Good lord, he write.

Crazy.

Man.

How many years are you on now?

Well, if you add up all of them, I think 30.

Yeah, crazy.

30 years, yeah.

30 years.

8, 19 at the Luxor and 10 at M Gym, and it's almost 30, one at Bally's.

Yeah, I feel like most comedians don't last more than 10.

Minutes.

I know.

Yeah, it's crazy.

Yeah.

I've been lucky.

Damn.

You still want to do another 30 more?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, I feel like Biden.

I feel like

I'm ready to go.

Oh, man.

Yeah, I'm still having a good time, too.

I think that's an important thing, I think, to enjoying it.

I enjoy the process of writing jokes.

I love the energy of getting up there and doing it every night.

It's a new crowd, new audience.

It's fun.

I love that.

Yeah, Vegas is always a new audience.

Yeah.

Dude, you're looking jacked.

I am.

I have been training a little bit summertime getting my bill back.

I'm going to have to hire you as a personality.

These friends give me the shirt last night, so I'm wearing it.

It's Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

There's two kids, and they look just like Bill and Ted.

Really?

Yeah.

They were young kids, and they had long hair.

Damn, I got to say that.

So I'm going to wear this shirt on this podcast tomorrow.

Dude, you must be working out like two a day.

Like, I can't believe this.

Yeah, about

once a day.

Okay.

Yeah, you're the most jack comedian I've ever met.

I'm the most jack comedian.

Was that a goal of yours?

No, no, no.

It's just carrying all my hate mail.

That's where it comes from.

You do get a lot of that.

No, I don't get a lot.

You don't?

No.

On social media?

Everybody gets mail.

Everybody gets hate shit.

You know, that's part of being

especially Caratop.

My God.

People love just to.

it's gotten less.

I mean,

years ago when I first started, it was just like, you know, who's this guy?

And

it was kind of cool to hate me.

And I've done it so long now, now I've become kind of a staple of, you know, I've been doing 30 years or 40 in comedy.

So I think it's probably gotten around to the point where, hey, he's pretty good.

He's been doing it 40 years.

Yeah.

Yeah, I didn't notice that at first, though.

You got a ton.

Yeah, they like to in the beginning because there's something new and something, which was odd.

You think that would be the opposite reason?

You know, you do something original that's new and people hate that.

They don't want new and original and funny.

They want like

they'd probably rather me do other people's act, which was the most, you know,

the most forbidden thing to do back when I first started doing comics.

Like you do your own material.

And so that's why I kind of went the route I did with the props and the other stuff because I'm saying no one could say I stole their act.

I mean I'm carrying around a walker with a dildo on it and a crime watch sign.

So, you know.

Has anyone tried to steal your material?

People have tried to steal my props like just to have them yeah

we catch them all the time like dad you can't take that um the tonight a couple shows have stolen my prop I had I had a and even just simple ideas like a social media thing

I had one where Mike Tyson speaking of you know ears now it's a popular topic now because Trump got shot in his ear so I had a you know a couple Trump jokes with the ear and

but I had one that was for Mike Tyson Mike Tyson bit Amanda Holyfield's ear The joke was, you know, he bit his ear.

So I was on the tonight show.

So I had this like, you're the George Foreman Grill.

But he was like, yeah.

I said the Mike Tyson has a grill.

And I opened it up and there was an ear on it.

And it killed.

And it was like, you know, the funniest thing.

So the next, I don't know, two weeks later, Jay does this whole segment on the show where he does like these props, these things that we found in junkyards.

And I'm like, he did my exact joke.

Like it was Mike Tyson's grill.

I'm like,

you got to tell your writers to maybe steal a little bit.

You mean, Jesus, don't steal right from the show you did it on.

Damn.

That's crazy.

So he was at the show and then stole it?

Oh, the writers.

Oh, the writers.

Writers are looking for bits and they writers say, hey, do that one, you know?

But I was just on the show.

Like, it was a week later.

Wow.

And I'm like,

really?

I always wondered how those shows come up with random topics, but that makes sense if they just go out of it.

Sometimes they just lift them like they did mine.

Damn.

That's crazy.

A lot of those shows are losing audience.

Podcasts are taking over.

They are, really.

They are.

Yeah, I know you go on a few.

You've been on Rogan, too, right?

Yeah, Rogan's great.

Rogan's super duper.

Him alone is getting more views than all these shows combined.

It's pretty crazy.

Times are changing.

I know those shows were like the thing when I was growing up.

Yeah, they were.

Tonight shows and late night Letterman and all those, they don't compare to what they used to be now.

Yeah, why do you think they've lost their appeal?

One, I think it's because of this, what you said, this new format, new concept,

much easier, much quicker to do a show like this than it is that.

They've turned real political.

I think a lot of people aren't going on those shows because the politica size of them.

I've been doing it for years and it was always just fun.

And then you go on now and it's mostly policy, political driven.

So it turns away a lot of people.

Do you even touch on politics in your shows or you stay away?

I do

in a roundabout way.

I mean, I do a Trump impression where I just, it's so bad.

Actually with a cold today, it's kind of not good.

But just the, you know, I make, the joke is basically something about, you know, he always claims everything he makes so I do a joke about you know burgers there's there was hot dogs but never burgers I made burgers there's burg you can look the administration didn't have burgers they didn't have hot they had motels they didn't have hotels you know my friends I stop I said they there was stop there was to go I made stop and says Trump anything you say he will just start like he invented it you know we didn't have microphones no one had microphones but I was

so that way I do it on that I don't get too political no one cares about it and I don't think to get people riled up over it yeah I know some comedians dive full into it.

Yeah, which is not my thing.

You know, it's Karatop.

You want to see me doing goofy things.

Yeah, Vegas is tough, though, because I feel like it's a mixed political crowd.

So you don't want to come.

Oh, definitely mixed.

Yeah, you don't want to go too far down one road.

Indeed.

Yeah.

I saw Shane Gillis just did a Trump thing on Kill Tony.

Yeah.

Did you see that?

I didn't, but I like him.

Yeah, he's, dude, he's so fucking funny.

He might be my favorite.

Oh, that's great.

Yeah, I saw him when he was coming up.

He opened up for Michael Rappaport

like five years ago, and he was unknown.

His trajectory has been insane.

It's great.

Did you see him really coming up like that early on?

Yeah, no.

Because you probably know all the same comedians.

Yeah, we're all aware of each other and look at each other.

Do you see them as competition or as a friendly?

No, never competition.

I mean, I look at them as

just now.

I just like watching how other comics work.

It's always fun to see the process, how they come up,

how they write, their style of comedy, how they deliver it.

Everyone has

a different delivery, a different approach.

A lot of mine is observational.

A lot of my stuff is everyday things, like people that back their car in.

I do a whole joke about that.

And it was turned into our routine.

But it's great because I see people pull their, how many people back in?

And people clap.

And I said, it's you people that are ruining America.

And then they'll, you know, like, why?

And I'm like, you're, what the fuck?

We're first out.

You're last in.

It doesn't matter.

You're, you're, unless you're robbing a bank.

Just park your fucking car.

And we have all this.

digital jokes that come with it.

So I'm like, you know,

it's funny visually.

You'll see your cap is bigger.

We're not quite at the gate.

If you you don't stay in their seats while I back this bitch into DJ,

and that shows a picture of this plane backing into the tarmac.

So it's funny looking because people, it's just pop culture.

It's like that's what we're talking about.

Imagine a pilot backing his car and his truck plane in.

That's a good point.

People that back in, how much time are you actually saving?

None.

They're spending more, exactly.

Yeah, you're spending more time.

Who gave them the idea that was supposed to be the quickest way to park?

Yeah, it is interesting.

How often are you changing your jokes and materials?

Oh, God.

Every day I try to add a day.

Well, every day I try to add one thing.

Wow.

Yeah.

I don't care if it's

just one thing,

whether it be a bet of word or add something to something.

But usually once a day I come up with something that might be on the news, that might be

with all the campaign stuff going on.

It's been a big week with making, you know, jokes, but I try to do one a day.

That's actually insane.

I didn't know that.

I thought you just did the same show for like a week.

Yeah, no, no.

I never, never done that, never done that.

Because a lot of people do do that.

Oh, I know.

Well, you know, in their defense, a lot of those guys, if let's say

a Chris Rock, let's say, is getting ready for a special, and he is getting ready to do that hour special in Omaha.

You know,

he's going to do that same exact show

for however long it takes for him to get it down right.

And then he'll do it and tape it, and then he'll go and he'll mess around and back.

Yeah, because he's practicing.

He's practicing that exact thing.

But I'm not, I'm not necessarily getting ready to shoot a special, so I don't have to change.

You know, I can change my every day.

Right.

But if they came to me and said, hey, we want to shoot a special, you know, in a month or two, I'd start tightening it down and staying.

I'm surprised you haven't been approached.

Yeah, we've had been approached, but more documentary kind of stuff as opposed to a special.

Okay.

I'm not really keen on just doing an hour special.

The money.

I think just by because by just giving away the hour of the show, that kind of seems dumb to me.

It's like you kind of wanted to give them a tease and then they want to come see the show.

I think if you do the show on Netflix HDO, they've seen the show and then they go, hey, you want to go see a show?

And then they come like, we just saw that.

So with a documentary, you get to also know how I got here.

How the hell did I get here?

And you get to see the behind the scenes.

And it's more of a learning to know who I am.

Older people might know.

Young people might not really be aware of my career and how I got here, why I'm still here.

I think that'd be a fun documentary.

That'd be really interesting.

And get

testimonials from other comics, get Jalen, or get all these other people saying,

hopefully, nice things about me.

But to say, yeah, it'd be fun to see who is Kiritob.

Yeah, there's something to learn from your longevity.

I mean, you're like the LeBron of comedy.

I like that, the LeBron of comedy.

Yeah, I mean, he's 20 years in.

You're 30.

Yeah.

Yeah, but he's about to wrap up, I think.

His son's in the league now.

Do you follow NBA at all?

A little bit.

I know his son got in the league.

I I know that's kind of a proud moment to him.

Any sports you're big on?

I'm probably still more football than anything else.

Football, yeah.

What's your team?

Well, the shitty Dolphins.

You live in Vegas.

Well, but I'm from Orlando.

So when I was a kid, we had the Miami Dolphins.

So I've always stayed true to them.

Yeah, I can't remember in my lifetime them ever being good.

No, probably not in your lifetime.

They were barely good in my lifetime.

I think it was when I was two.

Jeez.

You don't even remember.

No.

Yeah.

My job.

No, literally, I was born in 65.

So in the six, like 71, that was in when they won.

Damn.

So, yeah, my lifetime.

Good for your age, man.

Great for my age.

Yeah, that's impressive.

Out here in Vegas, it's easy to get wrapped up in the partying and drinking and clubbing.

But you say me.

But I'm old, so I don't

know.

That's what keeps me.

I am disciplined.

That is a really big part of the comedic, too.

It's discipline.

With anything, is discipline.

I don't care what job it is.

But especially a job like

show business, you know, it's so easy to be pulled in any direction

with all the

attractions and the things and the side things.

Hey, there's parties, there's drugs, there's booze, there's women.

And then you're like, you know, I got to be a pro.

I got to go home and I got to write some jokes and I got to do a show tomorrow.

So you got to...

You got to stay focused and always keep it tight.

Yeah.

Did you go through a phase in your younger years where you were...

I don't know if I was that.

I mean, I'd never been a partier, but I mean, I would go out more than I did when I was young because I had energy.

Shows over.

I'm like, let's go get a drink.

Now it's like, let's go home and watch Sports Center.

Yeah, because there are a lot of comedians that go down that road.

Drinking and drugs or whatever.

It seems to be common in that space.

It is.

But that's cool that you stay locked in.

Yeah, it's easy in Vegas to get distracted.

And I was on top of that Vegas.

So on top of not just being a comic in Las Vegas, how about that?

A lot of distractions.

So much distractions.

Yeah, you probably get invited to so many events, dinners, parties, clubs.

Damn, props to you, man.

Six days a week you're performing.

Six days, yeah, six days.

That's funny.

Off on Sunday, yeah.

It's fun, though, too, because you kind of get into a rhythm.

You know, you get,

if you have one where you're, you know, you always have the next night, you know, to kind of fix it and try it better, you know.

How many people are in the audience usually?

Four million.

No, it's about 400 people.

That's a good size.

So you can really feel the energy and see if it's a good show or not.

Has there ever been like a show that bombed?

Oh, yeah.

If I would give your comics, I'd have a show that bombed.

Although I would say bomb, not professionally now, not bombed.

I mean, I had one that I didn't think went as well, but I don't have one that just tanked it.

I mean, I've been doing it too long to you kind of learned how not to have a tank.

But when I first started, oh, boy, yeah,

there's a lot of, you're just so green.

You know, there's a lot of shows.

I remember.

In clubs, you just, man, you just, you know, and you'd eat it, man.

But then, but when you come off, they're like, that was great.

And so you sometimes would think, you know, even to this day, sometimes I'm like, man, that was horrible.

People are like, that was great.

Great show.

I'm like, really?

Like, yeah.

So they don't know until you tell them, you guys fucking suck.

Then they'd know.

Yeah.

And I must hurt.

I mean, getting off stage and getting booed.

Yeah, like I said, I'm lucky in my fan or my career where I'm at that I have fans and I have people that go to see it specifically.

They're not going to boo me or heck on me.

Wow.

You got people come multiple times.

Oh, yeah.

These guys, even a shirt last I've been to the show like 10 times.

Holy crap.

Yeah.

I mean, if you're changing your material.

And they're young kids.

To be that young is still seeing the show that many times.

That's cool.

Is this the main thing?

You got any other businesses or podcasts that you're starting up?

I was doing something.

You know,

we do a lot of podcasts.

We're trying to do a documentary.

I'm trying to write a book.

There's some talk about maybe a movie, a movie or two.

And I've done some movies that are still coming out.

Did up some parts in and some.

I had like little cameos and some.

But it's what's fun about that hacker, the show Hacks on HBO.

It's always fun about this job.

You never know, you know, the next day that like they call and they say, you want to be on.

Most of those things happen,

wouldn't say by accident, but I mean just by not planning them.

I remember Larry Sanders, if you remember his show, I was...

I was driving in LA just going to lunch or something.

They said, where are you?

And I'm like,

I'm the 405 stuck in traffic.

Like, Like, where are you?

Can you get to the CBS studios like in the next two hours or something?

And I was like, yeah, what?

It's a Gary Shanley show.

And I was like, oh,

what am I doing?

Like, you don't even need to bring your props.

Just go down there.

So I went and I just kind of played a character.

And then they put me in it.

And,

you know, an hour prior to that, I had no idea.

I was going to eat lunch.

I had no idea I was going to be on my favorite shows, you know, Larry Sanders.

So

sometimes you just, it just things just happen and you're like, oh, cool.

Yeah.

My hangover was one of the best.

You know,

I was backstage getting ready for the show.

My manager came in and said,

there's this guy, he was kind of like annoyed.

There's this guy out here that they said they're shooting this movie and they want to know if you want to do something in it.

I said, when?

They said, like, right now.

I'm like, right now?

I said, well, we're getting ready for the show.

They said it'll literally take one minute.

And I said,

they have a script?

He said, no, he just doesn't bring the director in.

It's Todd, you know, Phillips.

Yeah.

I don't know him.

He says, hey, Todd Phillips, we're filming this movie called Hangover.

And it's, you know, these guys, and the joke is they just want to be, they're partying with you.

So

I said, all right.

They all walked in.

Now, I don't know any of them at the time.

I'm like, I mean, Zach, I said, I know him.

You're a comic, right?

And he goes, yeah.

I said, ah.

And they said, so what's the,

they're all like Garratop, you know, like,

this is crazy.

I'm the big, you know, star.

And these guys are all now huge stars, right?

This show, this movie hadn't hit yet.

So they're all just like, it's, you know, star shock of me.

I thought it was funny.

And they said, what do you want to do?

And I said, I don't know what's the plan?

They said, what would, you know, be drinking and he'll pull his shirt up and you'd be laying on his belly drunk.

And I'm like,

they're filming a little bit.

And I'm like,

well, this isn't funny.

I said, what if we're doing like Coke?

And they're all like, yeah?

And I'm like, well, that'd be funny.

I mean, doing Coke with Carrot Top is pretty funny.

I mean, I don't know I think everyone knows I there probably is an assumption that I do you know for

my appearance I look like I do drugs I don't so and they said if you're cool I said yeah so my assistant went and got some sweet and low and shit and we made up you know all these lines of coke we put one on Zach's belly and I was throwing it off his belly and and then all of a sudden it was hilarious It looked like a party looked like they came to my rock, you know, my backstage and were doing blow with me and that made the that made the movie.

So wow.

But that's the one that's, you know, not knowing.

They just happened, never knew, knew and then they left and all was like dude you're in the hangover i'm like what

oh

one that we did coke with yeah i'm saying it's huge it's like the biggest movie in the world and so i'm like oh cool i'm glad i did it and then people are like dude i know you did coke any coke i'm like no it's a movie

wow so that scene was kind of improvised that's pretty oh totally improvised yeah a lot a lot of a lot of things in comedy really are a lot of things damn yeah movies like movies sitcoms i mean there's sometimes there's a base script sometimes you just kind of improvise off it damn they should have had you in the second one too.

They tried.

Oh, they did?

It was going to be exactly that.

They were going to be in a plane going to Europe.

And I look back.

I'm in first class, and they're all back there getting drunk and crazy.

And the lady says, the gentleman up front would like to buy you a drink.

And

they all look up.

There's the curtain.

They pull the curtain back.

And

I'm like,

go get some Coke.

Classic.

But what happened?

They just never got.

just, we're too far along and couldn't get back to do it.

But he was like, yeah, dang, why didn't you tell me earlier?

Because I thought of it.

I thought, hey, you know, I got wind of it that they were filming the second one.

So I thought, oh, I'll come up with a bit.

He loved it.

He was like, damn it, that would have been so good.

Great, great callback.

But, oh, well.

Did they film both in Vegas or just the first one?

I have no idea.

I think the first one.

Okay.

I don't remember.

They've been cut out of so many movies now.

It just, I mean, oh, yeah.

I met everyone you probably interviewed.

If you ask them how many movies they cut out, they probably have dozens.

I didn't know that was common.

Well, I didn't either, but

I've been cut out of, yeah, it is very common.

What happens, you know, they shoot all the footage they can.

It's not that they didn't like me or my scene.

They just got to the point where they say it's not needed.

Because the scene we saw it with, oh, well, when we saw it with Melissa McCarthy, it was brilliantly funny, but it did, and we shot it, I kept saying, this is a weird scene.

It's kind of like a flashback.

She ate some bad fish and her, she went on this trippy thing.

And they just, when they probably put the movie together, like, it didn't make any sense.

Damn.

So

yeah, a little too edgy for their life success, right?

Yeah, who knows?

I feel like a lot of movies are kind of soft these days.

Yeah.

They're not as like vulgar as they used to be.

Yeah.

You know?

Yeah.

Like Adam Sanley movies don't hit the same anymore.

Right.

Those used to be hilarious.

Yes, he did make good movies.

In the 2000s.

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

But his new ones on Netflix, they're decent, but nothing like the old ones.

Right.

But you want to eventually create your own movie one day?

Is that something in the books?

We did a movie called Chairman of the Board, which I did in,

God, whatever year it was.

And it was my movie starring me.

But it was an interesting time because I'd never been in a movie.

First time starring in a movie.

And I'd barely even gotten behind a camera.

I'd never been on a, and I've been on the, you know, the Tonight Show and whatnot, but I'd never had a movie crew where there's, you know, over a thousand people on the set.

you know, doing something and everyone's looking right at me and they're all like, you know, everyone's getting me ready and getting me in the camera.

And action, you're just like, fuck.

You know, it's just a lot

to absorb, especially never doing it.

Right.

So I did okay, considering that was my first ever doing a movie.

Coldest, you know, blue, green as I could.

But we had a great cast.

We had the supporting cast was Raquel Welsh and Jack Warden and Larry Miller.

God, you name it, they were all in it.

And so it really, really was fun.

It was a legit movie.

And it still holds up to this day.

And when we see it, I just thought, yeah, it's a good movie.

You got to check it out.

Chairman of the board.

So you were a producer and actor?

No, I was barely an actor.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I had, I

used a lot of my

ideas.

We wrote with, I wrote with the other guys, and some of the scenes are my props that I was using.

Like I was an inventor in the movie.

So when I came into the pitch, I had some of the jokes that I use in my show in the movie as an invention kind of thing.

So in a sense, I kind of helped, you know, I should look and see if I was a producer on that because I should be.

Yeah, you might have to make a writer producer.

Yeah, that'd be cool.

Yeah, I think that's neat.

Chairman of the board, too.

Get ready.

Get ready, guys.

What year did that one come out?

90-something.

Oh, so it's old.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

30 years old almost.

Damn.

Yeah.

Been at this for a while, man.

Do you even go to the movies anymore?

No.

No, no, I just don't.

It's fun to think.

The last movie.

The last movie I saw in theaters was that new Top Gun, I think.

Top gun.

The new Top Gun because everyone said you got to see it because of the surround sound and the

jets.

So I saw it.

It was very good.

But other part of that, geez,

blazing saddles.

I mean, it's been that long.

I don't even know what that is.

I mean, these days, everything just comes out on streaming.

It's true.

It's odd.

You always wonder if movie theaters are even showing movies anymore.

I didn't even know they existed.

They got to be hurting.

Yeah.

I mean, that's.

He said everything streams.

That's scary.

Is the comedy space slowing down?

Like the movies?

No, the comedy thing's still going, you know, live comedy still, is still, people want to see live comedy.

Thank God.

Okay.

People do stream it too, but I think you still get that live audience in there watching comedy regardless of it.

Yeah.

We hope.

So that's one of those spaces that's recession proof.

I don't know if it's recession proof, but as of right now,

it seems to be.

Okay.

I mean, right now I feel like we're in one.

Yeah.

And if you're still getting spots filled.

Well, people always want, that is one thing during a recession and hard times, they want to laugh.

That's one thing people really, you know, find their medicine from getting to laugh and kind of forget about their problems.

That's why they don't want to talk about politics.

Do you think social media helped the comedy space overall because a lot more eyeballs saw like the new skits and stuff?

On social media?

Yeah.

I mean, I still have my

f haven't figured quite that one out yet if social media does that.

I mean, whether just not maybe for me or other people, I mean, some people become

you know, huge internet stars are off of social media.

Yeah.

I mean, what just is one example, what Justin Bieber, I think, was one of the first.

Or the Kardashians did,

they have a show.

But there's people that are musicians and singers that have become huge just off social media.

Oh, yeah.

And comedians.

Like Theodore.

Yeah, a lot of comedians.

A lot of comedians.

Andrew Schultz, Theo Vaughn, Trevor Wallace.

There's a few that really blew up from social media.

But that's not a part of your marketing strategy.

No, it is part of it.

Yeah.

You just got to get people to take care of that.

We've already heard of him.

Let's get a good guy.

Yeah, plus your stuff you kind of don't want to put out, right?

You want it to be more of a surprise.

Well, I put it out.

Yeah, we put it out a little bit, yeah.

Oh, like your prop?

Yes.

You put it out?

Okay.

We always put it out there and show the making of it and the new prop of the day or whatever of the week, yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

I feel nice.

Because a lot of times there's a shelf life to it, too.

So you want to get it out.

Yeah.

You know.

Were you on Reno 911?

Was that what?

Were you on Reno 911, the show?

Yes, yes.

What were you doing then?

You didn't do your homework.

Yes, I was on there.

No, I knew you were on there, but what went down on that episode?

Actually, what went down on there was

hotel furniture right off the balcony into the parking lot.

Oh, shit.

Yeah,

it was a great scene.

I'm in my room, in my robe, and

there's been a party.

I'm partying on my floor excessively, and I'm throwing T Vs off the balcony and

my launch, my sofa.

And they come bring me down, and I'm in a robe, and I'm saying, look, sorry.

I'll write you a check.

and I have like a rubber bank check like it's a rubber check and it's you know

some stupid thing

and I grab the guy's gun and I run I get in his car and I peel out and I and they go chasing after me damn yeah it was a fun fun

episode because I'm completely not playing me I mean I'm you know I would never act that way and I wouldn't I wouldn't take a gun and

but I'm shooting at them and I'm peeling out of the hotel apartment.

So it was it was very fun.

I missed that show.

Yeah, it was a good episode, too.

yeah jason aldeen threw a couch off the balcony yeah yeah

yeah

um you're also on family guy yeah that is one of the best shows of all time of all time yeah they just hit you up to come on yeah same thing they they they had an idea um

and they said uh do you want to be the voice of it or do you want us just to get a voice for it

I said, of course, I want to be the voice for it.

So they sent me the stuff and I went to read it.

And I was like, oh, man, this is really, really not funny.

Which, you know, hard to tell them it's not funny talking to people that are talking to Seth?

You said that to Seth?

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah.

How'd you take it?

Well, he said, okay,

but what is, well, what's not, what is not, but it's not, well, it's funny, though.

I said, no, it's horrible.

And he's like, what's not funny about it?

I'm like, well, one, it's a pun.

It's just like, it's, it's the dumbest thing.

I mean, Chiar Top's already the lowest common denominator.

Then you have me do puns.

Now it's really horrible.

He says, well, I thought that's what you do.

I said, no, I don't do puns.

I do like inventions and whatnot.

So he tried to, he said, explain to me then what would you like to replace the prop with?

And I said, how about my paper cups and string phone that has call waiting?

And he's like, oh, that's great.

That's clever.

And that's good.

But

that wouldn't work in this because the whole thing is it's dumb.

The prop has to be dumb.

I said, so you're making fun of me because I'm dumb.

He's like, well, no, but.

And we've already made the animations.

I'm like, well, then why did I spend an hour trying to talk him into doing my cups and string if we already knew that was what you were married to?

So

I said, okay, well, it's horrible.

I'll go, I'll do it.

So I did the voice, reluctantly did the voice to it.

And then they had me go back to LA because they had to do another part to it and loop it over and get it anyway.

So I'm sitting in them with them now, face-based.

And I said, this is all of them.

It's like 10 of them.

I said, this is horrible, by the way.

And everybody's just like, they're all going, this is great.

I'm telling you, Scott, this is great.

Everyone loves it.

So I said, all right.

So I read the lines and everybody's laughing.

I'm like, it's horrible, though, but it's funny to you, but you're not the one.

But the joke was

like a saw that had glasses on it.

And the joke was, look, it's a seesaw.

And I'm like, that's kind of hard to.

So I said, this is horrible.

And I kept saying, it's horrible.

This is horrible.

And so they all said, no, you're wrong, Scott.

I'm telling you, this is the highest rated one we've done in a lot.

We've already, you know, shopped it and got everybody's comments, and they howl.

Really?

So

i said okay i trust you and it was great and people people still walk up to me and say seesaw it was great um that's yeah to me that's too hard to put in my head like to register the joke yeah like when you have to think about the joke too too hard yeah you know it's well it's a pretty easy joke i mean seesaw yeah it's horrible yeah damn well they know what they're doing they've been on tv for a while that's what i said i gotta listen to the pros any other shows or movies you want to make an appearance on
