Small Talk with Colin Quinn | The Tim Dillon Show #343

ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Tim. Dillon show a legendary comedian Colin. Quinn joins us uh you have a new show. which we're going to give everybody the. link in the uh YouTube episode they. should go grab tickets to it uh you do a. new hour like almost every year which is. insane and always very good. thanks yeah this one's good and we were. just talking about the uh yeah how even. that show itself I'm gonna start. shifting away it's already starting to. get on my nerves I could always tell. when it's time to move on material wise.

my throat starts to really get sore your. throat rejects the material yes and then. you gotta just film it and get it move. on yeah. I feel the same way my throat hijacks. all the material I do because I yell at. a lot of it so that's the other problem. yeah by the end of a tour like I. remember in Milwaukee the good people of. Milwaukee who are now punishing me. they're not buying tickets to the Pabst. Theater because I canceled a night at. The Improv and rescheduled it for a.

weeknight because I had no voice the. people of Milwaukee have a long memory. they're being unreasonable because I. didn't have a voice and I called my. agent who's for the 400 pounds the. fattest agent in America and he goes. well just get a steroid shot and I go. yeah but if I if I project through it I. could still get polyps on my throat sure. so these agents don't care they just go. just get shot up with steroids right. right The Show Must Go On well what you. should be doing is. stop remember I told you about the guy.

Gary Ramsey but here's the thing you. gave me this advice about yeah it you're. basically like change your whole life. this is so hard tell people what you. told me to do. to go to Gary Ram's evening. no you're dead but Colin it's so. complicated the whole process no it's. not it's the opposite of complication. can you explain it and let's see if it's. not it's the what it is it's basically. it's called out it's basically Alexander.

technique what it is is instead of. misusing your throat where you get. polyps and you get hoarse and you can't. speak a lot you're speaking through your. lungs are in the back you're speaking. through your stomach your diaphragm. basically so every time you're about to. lose your voice you're relaxing your. tongue relaxing I could show it to you. in five minutes right now but go I'm. living proof I used to lose my voice all. the time and ever since I went to Gary. which is almost 20 years I could do like.

three shows I never lose my voice I even. want my voice and my voice is a raspy. voice that you would lose immediately as. you know people have spent many years. saying why aren't you and Tim Dylan. doing father-son comedies I know because. now I look older that's what I mean. that's one of the reasons no no I look. it's brother no it's not the father but. you were explaining to me and then this. guy sent me an email and he seems like a. real good dude and I think I might have. spoke to him Gary I think I spoke to the. guy but it's like a whole breathing.

technique I mean I'm looking for like a. lodge injury so simple it's simple how. would I do it how do I simpler than a. shot you'd go see him for an hour he'd. explain to you oh here's where you're. gripping and you're like oh I didn't. realize I was like every time I yell you. could still yell but every time I yell. I'm yelling through my throat instead of. through this is an Abbey this is a a. theater that you can use yeah so it's.

it's just little things like for example. babies breathe when we watch a baby. breathe that's how we're supposed to. breathe so they exhale and the stomach. goes out we exhale I mean we inhale they. inhale us don't that right we inhale. pull our stomach in so it's all this. tightening that goes on it's really you. know it's I'm gonna sit down but it's an. hour it's an hour consultation yeah it's. not really a consultation it's more like. uh you're instructional it's yeah it's. just it's interesting he's really an.

interesting and now you don't lose your. voice at all I did three shows when I. was doing Broadway I had three shows on. Saturday three only me an hour and 20. minutes on like 800 seats three for an. hour and 20 minutes each show I was. exhausted at the end of the day my. throat was fine never on voice rest you. know they go oh you do shows you have to. be on voice rest on the off days I was. never on voice rest my whole and I used. to lose my voice from seller sets in. front of 100 people wow so this is well. worth it to try to figure out this it's. the greatest he's the greatest is the.

new show you have now which is called. small talk yeah you used to you always. do like big themes it was like sure. political the country's divided sure New. York the history of New York all these. big themes this one is this more like. the minutia of the way people relate to. each other no it's the big theme okay I. apologize no no it is small talk it is. about the minutia of the way people. relate to each other but it's uh it's a. big but it's a bit but it's big it's big. in the sense of how the language and how.

everybody speaks today. um like they're being watched and. pretending they're not under. surveillance when they know they are at. all times by each other right. everybody's just everybody's worried. about uh government surveillance and. that's only a part of surveillance. apparently right so nobody hates Free. Speech more than we do yeah everybody's. a rat yes it's a culture of rats yes it. is I grew up in a town that was a little. Mafia town in Long Island we know I I.

know that town. it's always a little Mafia town and Good. Fellas was about Henry Hill like an. island park and they all Sopranos was. about a guy who lived in Iowa they all. lived in it all those mob guys moved. from Ozone Park to Island Park yeah they. all went to this little South Shore town. yep but yeah everybody's like a nice. boat they would love it was about. culture they love to be they love to be. around the boats yeah that's the thing. and the water yeah they like to come out. like flip-flops in those days it would.

wear the brown socks with the right you. know with the slippers and yeah and then. just stand there and just smoke a cigar. with a miserable look on their face and. look out over the water yeah and that. was the the sign that they had made they. had moved from the city that's right and. but it that was a town where it was like. there was just this idea that you you. you minded your business yeah yeah I. didn't like any like we weren't like in. the mob clearly but you still just there. was a value to like minding your but.

even with your opinions about other. people were kind of private right guys. we get your ass kicked yeah or you just. wouldn't you wouldn't open your mouth. about something you didn't know about. really because you didn't know who was. listening that's right but now that's. all over like those mob guys. they rat on everybody no one kills them. and they get like reality shows well I. tell you yeah I have a thing in my show. about how they have podcasts they all. have podcast friends all the mafia has. been it's horrible I mean it's a good.

podcast though are they really you ever. listen to any of those I feel like they. get old after absolutely Clips yeah. right I mean after a while it's like we. get it yeah but that whole so your show. is like basically looking at this thing. that's happened where everybody is kind. of ready to pounce on everybody else. yeah well no yeah it's more yeah it's a. lot of it's a lot to do with small talk. and and the lack of small talk and what. it means in the big picture what's Small.

Talk meant for communication which. eventually leads to podcasts and you. know it's communication that's what it's. about but it's about small talk yes. everything you do is always it's it's. always worth it because you're one of. those Comics who like you actually write. and you write the whole show is written. and rewrite all this you don't have to. do that now like most people now are. just kind of doing crowd work I don't. know if you know that but they ask. people where they're from or right how. long they've been [ __ ] the person. next to them right you choose to write a. whole show about a topic why do you.

commit yourself to that doesn't that. feel like a dying art well this show has. a little bit of crowd work because I. talk to people in small talk right like. I give examples and I ask people I make. them be in my conversation okay so I'm. not really asking them questions gosh. it's more like me making them interact. with me in a small town yeah scenario so. but um it is a dying art but you know. what I'm a dying man I mean what am I. here what am I 25 I mean you know it's. fine I know yeah but you're good yeah.

the heart attack but you're back I had a. heart attack everything's great yeah. everything's I wouldn't say everything's. great but I would say everything's uh. it's just good it's good yeah it's a. solid but in the grand scheme as I was. telling Frank before for the show yeah. um I was saying in an Ideal World stand. up I'd rather do like the thing we were. working on like I'd rather direct I'd. rather write and direct then just text. well a certain point you hear your voice. and I'm like am I still talking we were. pitching a movie and then one of the. women on the pitch had like blue hair.

and I went this might not go well you I. I knew from the beginning there was. something weird going on there they no. here's why I knew it was a problem. because the people on the pitch I could. tell they were like hey they dragged a. couple of interns and go we want you to. sit there and listen to this pitch right. and they're like oh okay and they're. just sitting there like wait we don't. belong here we don't know what's going. on we're not in trouble we're not The. Gatekeepers no it didn't we're going to. get coffee one of them holding a tray of.

coffee that they're supposed to give to. them right and then they're like okay. and then we did the pitch I was like. this no they just didn't seem super. interested because it's subtle it's. Irish it's a great idea we had a great. idea for a movie and they didn't they. weren't into it it was about an Irish. family and when did we pitch that. two years ago maybe two and a half years. two years ago it could have been three. years three years ago there was not a. huge appetite for a story about an Irish. family. as shocking as it seems today we're.

playing Netflix and we want we have a. story about an Irish family and they. looked at us like we said we wanted to. do like something we wanted to do like a. teen comedy about the Charlottesville. March like they were like they were like. this is not fit yeah I know and it's. crazy because you know it was it was. really you could you could see where it. was going to go it was going to be. really interesting I think maybe it's. gonna be funny things are changing. though maybe this you know who knows in.

the future something might that would be. great I mean it's still the same you're. still the same character we're still the. same and we're gonna have Tim Dillon. because this is why Gary Ramsey came in. handy Yeah Tim was going to be the lead. singer in a bar band also so you get to. hear that Tim Dylan singing I mean would. that not have been fun it's funny. already yeah funny already and Netflix. in their Infinite Wisdom said no yeah. but um yeah everybody's just you know we.

were crazy to try to do it that way but. here's what let me ask you this yeah in. in the ideal world since you seem to. have more of a business Acumen than I. ever will I don't but well well I think. you did you had to get a real job for a. minute. well real the FBI would characterize it. as um. a uh an issue but yeah yeah yeah it's. not yeah I mean you know everybody's a. Monday Morning Quarterback including the. feds. who do you think they you know they got.

mortgages. but I mean many of the companies I work. for were rated good boy they were they. people did come in and want files Again. country of rats. it's like yeah. I just love the idea of like you're such. an Irish guy that like just because I. had a suit on once you're like you went. you had a real job it's like I worked in. a subprime mortgage Boiler Room like. yeah he had a real job. your boss went to jail.

but yeah so I business acumen. so you know we talk about how people. like now everybody's a small businessman. yeah like my generation didn't really. understand until recently like when you. guys understood which is like oh I'm on. my own yeah I'm a small businessman I'm. a I'm a small business yeah my. everything you do has to be generated. out of this business a hundred percent. so I we didn't have a court we caught on. late of course because I was from a.

different time but in in a world. theoretically if you had a movie right. yeah I'd say we had this movie we're. gonna make this movie right. what would you do to one raise the money. to. let the people at least have a chance to. get their money back because you can't. just get people to give money some. stupid GoFundMe thing where they're not. getting their money back why to be to. have your name at the end of a list of. 80 names and credits so what would you.

theoretically do I don't even you. probably shouldn't even tell me because. it's not somebody else will end up doing. it but you know what I mean you'd have. to kidnap Joe Rogan's dog or something. and then get you know what I mean like. cat I was gonna say you would kidnap our. Chrysler's family but that wouldn't that. would have been like Ransom of the Red. Chief where but but even bird Chrysler. Joe Morgan he would have been like no. I'm like I'm gonna kill your family give. me money Bird's gonna go all right no. Tuscaloosa we're going to Ohio see you.

in Grand Rapids I love Helix mattresses. I have them and everybody loves them. when they visit my home my family is. coming to visit my home on the fourth of. July I'm not really excited about that. they're very judgmental we haven't seen. each other in a long time but they're. all going to love the mattresses uh. everyone loves them even the pets how. you know which Helix mattress works best. for you and your body take the Helix. sleep quiz and find out what's your. perfect mattress in under two minutes so. you just basically go to their website. you take a quiz Are you a side sleeper. back you know how it is everybody's.

unique and sleeps differently that's why. Helix has several different mattress. models to choose from each design for. specific sleep positions and and feel. preferences and if your spine needs some. extra TLC they got you every Helix. mattress has a hybrid design combining. individually wrapped steel coils in the. base with premium foam layers on top the. foam is what's nice it's a perfect combo. of comfort and support. so now we're going to tell you the promo. code. just. Helix is offering 20 off all mattress.

orders and two free pillows for our. listeners go to Helix sleep.comd this is. their best offer yet and it won't last. long helixsleep.com. Tim D with Helix better sleep starts now. um but I'm saying let's say even Joe. Rogan or Bird crush yeah if they gave. you the money yeah how would they get. their money back that problem is getting. the money here's the problem of movies. they cost so much [ __ ] money yeah. they do and distribution's weird because.

people aren't buying things online the. way they used to people are used to. subscribing to things like HBO GO or. Netflix or right Paramount they're not. used to an individual purchase the way. they would be you know maybe 10 years. ago the way they bought bought music on. iTunes now they have apple music which. is a subscription that's one of the. problems with it because you can't know. how many people will buy something and. you can't know how you're going to make.

your money back I think the hope would. be that after you made the movie you. would have it you would license it to a. Hulu Netflix something like that yeah. but that's depressing it's very. depressing I mean some you know. licensing it's like you do all the all. this stuff and then the investors and by. the way investors always they it's hard. for them to get their money back once it. turns into those machines and that's the. other problem you don't want to screw. people out of their money like it's. difficult because everybody because like. with podcasts people have proven they.

could do late night shows on their own. they go oh I can basically do and get. the audience at Kimler Fallon or Colbert. gets. um with sketches online people have. proven they can do a version of what SNL. does that's right I can make comedy. sketches people can you know digest them. and and love them and subscribe to other. things I'm doing. but with movies and similarly with. episodic TV it's very very difficult you. can't make a succession on your own you.

can't make a Game of Thrones on your own. these are difficult these are massive. big budget Productions with hundreds of. people top-notch Talent. um it's difficult that's why those. companies still dominate that particular. uh genre of entertainment but I don't. think that's why because. secession Game of Thrones are great but. when you're making when they're making. it's because they promote what they want.

and they have the power to control what. people say that's right so for example a. movie like Mean Streets from 1973 at. that time a little boy God knows what. the budget was then right but that kind. of quality. you can't just buy they can't make those. they don't understand how to make a. funny movie of that John they don't. understand so I'm just saying you can. make in my opinion funny movies that are. low budget because we're not trying to. Dazzle them with visual low budget but. you gotta wonder how you get your money.

out of it that's what I'm saying that's. the question that's how I started this. conversation right you know I don't know. why suddenly acting like you're asking. me no no no it's hard I thought this no. you're right I don't have an answer Oh I. thought you did because of the mortgage. thing if 20 000 people buy a movie for. ten dollars that's not enough. 50 000 people buy it for ten dollars. that's five hundred thousand dollars. that's nothing so now a hundred thousand. people buy it for ten dollars that's a. million dollars and that's a lot of.

people knowing right it's still not. enough let me tell you so let's say you. had a movie okay theoretically let's say. at a movie like one of my movies you. Christa Stefano. Andrew Schultz right yeah so you guys. are in this movie yes now you will. promote it on your podcast as part of. the thing yeah that's where we go for. promotion No One's Gonna help No One's. Gonna Come on and then you go on other. people's podcasts because they're like. why wasn't i in it right. um so they give you a little passive.

aggressive yeah so it's you three guys. promoting how much how many people do. you think you get to buy it it's the big. question mark because right it's a big. question mark because you could look at. all the numbers and say. it should be a certain percentage of the. amount of people you have. but you don't know until it's out there. right and how it's received. well yeah it has to be great last would. be great and people have to love it and. it's got to connect and people have to.

buy it and they have to keep watching it. and keep talking about it it's like all. of that's tough It's hard to know. whereas if like people buy ads based on. a podcast when they go let's say this. guy's got a million or two million. listeners a percentage of them will. click the link and buy the product you. could try that with a movie and say well. the if all add up all the listeners they. have or fans they have or look at ticket. sales look whatever look at email lists. still who buys it that's the big.

question but that's the other thing. because look what I did I did cop show. right cop show yes was internet thing. funny really for everybody I did. everything right it was all funny every. episode's funny all got all these. celebrities at the time to be in it. every episode it's still no eyes right I. mean it was unbelievable because it's. difficult even though something can be. quality yeah it's very hard to get it. like right now the biggest things that I.

that I saw go viral were things that. were initially things that people like. hated or did it like little Nas acts. that's on Old Town Road but it's kind of. like it came out it was kind of like a. joke then people were like hey it's kind. of catchy it's actually kind of good. then he became massively famous a lot of. things start as like this like I would. think if we did a movie like this right. we'd have to come up with a marketing.

campaign and this is where you go to. Schultz because he's brilliant with. stuff like this. um and we could all figure it out but. you'd have to come up with a marketing. campaign where the people. hot like Blair Witch Project came out. people like is this found footage is. this real right maybe it is now. obviously No One's Gonna think that's. not the angle we use because we're all. known as comedians we still have to find. the marketing angle and Burke Chrysler. is brilliant with this too that really. gets eyeballs on this thing right that's.

the challenge that's hard it's you you. put all the work like every comedian. you know you put a lot of it into the. thing you're doing sure but then there's. a whole other which I'm okay at I'm not. nearly as good as other people there's a. whole other job. of getting people to see it yeah. figuring out how I would get hire the. trans girl that Dylan Mulvaney from Bud. Light yes I'd hire her yeah I would hire.

Dylan Mulvaney to promote the film in. the most grotesque way. I don't even like Bud Light she's just. there with the can and she's gone I love. beer I would have her talking about I. would have her beating her dick with a. hammer yeah just to get attention yeah. just to get any attention you need to. kind of do something like that. controversial people gotta be angry yeah. they gotta be mad it's a it's a it's a.

whole different thing yeah cop shows. just a really funny good thing yeah. that's tough you're right people have to. be angry they have to kind of be enraged. well what about this yes we get during. the when we're filming right we have a. camera that's a rogue Renegade camera we. have nothing to do with it right one of. the cameraman's just crazy right and he. catches de Stefano and Dylan Mulvaney. like blowing each other and that's. believable yeah yeah it's perfect and uh.

back behind the scenes and then two days. later when people get bored of that we. have seven are trying to strangle Dylan. Mulvaney right he's gonna hit her too. that makes sense yeah there's gonna be. violence as well because we were gonna. do it yeah yeah it's not a bad idea and. she'd be up for it we'd call her agent I. mean she'll do anything and but it needs. to be something like that as much as we. could. without that type of controversy people. it's just because there's so much [ __ ].

out there now that's what it is YouTube. is so big my uncle just watches fishing. yeah on YouTube yeah there are people. and he just watches that yeah he just. watches it like to get to him. you have to get that you have to somehow. puncture that Community the bass boat. Community someone there has got to go. this movie's really funny like. everybody's in their own micro Community. right now I'm speaking of fishing shows. my last sketch at SMI before let's say I. wrote this sketch I I was in it it was a.

fishing show that was based on uh we. bring in Tracy Tracy's like Brock Peters. in um you know the movie from 1916. yeah. whatever it's called Uh. what's that what's the thing that. famously did a play. it's like the big movie of the racial. thing from 1916. um the the med greevers. thing no no it was like the it was a. giant play with Jeff Daniels. um to kill a mockings Kill a Mockingbird. yeah so is it so I'm there I'm like hi.

welcome to the fishing show and Tracy. comes in I go I understand you walk by. Miss so-and-so's house and you looked in. the window he goes I did not so and we. did this whole sketch it was like this. one of these scenes Jim Bruce ended. playing like redneck Sheriff right and. Daryl's in it as the father and it was. one of the funniest things they cut it. after dress it was a little dicey. probably yeah but the girl was Britney. Spears like 18 years old and she was. great in it by the way that's amazing it. was really funny do you still have it I. don't I don't know how I can get a hold.

of the car probably they probably burned. it what was your favorite thing you did. on that show. uh doing the the lion up at the. beginning I did this Lion character it. was like a drug lion yeah first was on. with no one where I was like let me get. an update doing that stuff and then once. sitting next to Bill Murray and it was. like you know by the time I was there it. was the 90s people had a different. mentality like everything was you wanted. to do well Bill Murray went on there and. just did what Bill Murray used to do. which was this Bill Murray's tone was.

never heard before he did it in the. 1978. nobody ever saw this tone in. comedy just like Richard belts Richard. Bell's a stand up was not that great but. nobody he invented okay babe sure nobody. did that before I never saw it and then. people in the streets were doing it not. just Comedians and Bill Murray used to. go like now listen to me guy and he had. this ironic weird thing he did these. characters like this movie review it was. just a whole different tone than you'd. ever seen in comedy or in life how many.

people have you seen do that like where. they have where they're completely. unique. um I can't think of that many I mean. those are those I mean I would say Bill. Murray chained like everybody was funny. in different ways and they were all. unique on Saturday Night Live to a. degree but Bill Murray I'll tell you. another one I haven't seen even though. it's based on something real but it's. it's that guy Tom on succession right. that's unique yeah toned that you don't. see the English actor McFadden yeah he's. brilliant he's doing these crazy guy.

right that's like it's completely you've. never seen a character quite like that. but Bill Murray did like five characters. on on SNL at that time he did the ship. like that cruise like you know people. always make fun of like this Lounge. singer the oily Lounge singer right he. nobody did that before him right nobody. did it with that tone the way he used to. do it and I feel like Norm had that. space yeah nobody perfect example right. Norm's tone was distinctive and unique.

yes and nobody did that nobody did what. Norm did you know what I mean I talk. about Norm in the show too it's funny. but and one of the things is normally. talk people like we talked to some. strange way you know small talking. people and be like and then the guy like. you're right I'm quitting a job and he'd. walk out and then nobody go to me I. didn't tell him to quit that job like. yes you did but he like Norm's whole. world was not just me he was making fun. of you you were part of this the suckers. too yeah yeah you'd be like I mean.

you're telling me you know he was just. spring you and it's that brilliant. podcast he had with Adam me again yes. yeah well I went to Norm's uh uh. you know his uh memorial service yeah. Anatomy get spoke and he killed it was. all these professional experience he had. to be coming up and he goes I love Norm. Macdonald even though if you Google me. today it says Holocaust Den iron Adam. Egan that's the first thing. and he went on about normal yeah it was. perfect because the guest didn't know.

that uh like half the gas nowhere to go. I mean I agree with you not like this. guy thinks the Holocaust didn't happen. and they guess if he look you could see. the Angry Eyes like what and Adam would. just sit there and take it and the guest. would leave the show thinking this guy's. a holocaust denied. yeah there was nothing funnier than when. Norm yeah was like yeah this guy [ __ ]. this is the Holocaust happen so fun and. just blow past it and the guest would. look you could see them looking and then. Norm would move on yeah brilliant yes.

Norm would just keep going and then yeah. would you sneak a look at him like what. the [ __ ] yeah and it was an Adam to his. credit didn't sometimes you try to deny. it usually just take the hit yeah that. person that's so funny have you gone. down to Rogan's Club Adam's running that. club and uh no I haven't been there yet. yeah he texted me I don't know what. happened I'm supposed to do it you. should go check it out I want to do it. of course yeah it's great it's designed. by a comic you feel it when you're oh it. is yeah. yeah a comic's known for their good.

interior design I'm sorry well no she's. not a good interior designer but like. the way the rooms are felt right like. the way the the spacing yes the the. crowd like where they are where you are. on stage like it's all perfectly done oh. I gotta love it I don't know that we. need all the UFO imagery it's still it's. a lot of UFOs That's Heavy on the UFO. imagery but he likes that but it is. perfect in terms like ratio comedy-wise. that's great yeah I can't wait to do it. did you ever do anything with Woody. Allen I feel like that's such a New York. guy and you're such a New York guy and.

yeah I was in um I was in two Woody. Allen there's two Woody Allen stories. that are quick I'm quick to take an hour. but. um a podcast I know it is you guys it. doesn't know but one was I got in a. movie in 1987 I got in a movie uh New.

I didn't understand anything about. acting and so they cut the scene I was. playing a cop with his mother and I'm so. bad you could see it in the actresses I. was like oh this guy doesn't I don't. know did Woody communicate how yes he. told me an acting he goes okay just do. this and I was like oh Woody Allen's. directed me I didn't realize that any of. the insight to realize wouldn't know. Woody Allen's trying to save the scene. and he realizes there's a problem in a. dead weight called this guy playing the. cop and it was he it was nice he was.

kind very nice but I mean you know. I was a little older so yeah right I. mean his motives was just pure right. um but the uh but then so then like. 15 years later this guy named Ray Garvey. who's a. cop who also ran comedy clubs anyway but. in Brooklyn Pips you know Pepsi old. comedy club which I have a couple of. stories about if you want those two but. anyway Pips was the this old New York. comment it was it's older than the. Improv it's gone where was it Sheepshead.

Bay wow and it's older than the Improv. it was the first comedy club in New York. City right so anyway this guy ragoff. he's running he goes hey Colin you know. you want to do uh I'm doing a film with. Woody Allen's gonna do stand-up and then. he'll bring you on stage like oh Woody. Allen's been offered millions of dollars. to do stand up Ray he's not coming out. to Brooklyn to you and doing stand-up. comedy. a month later Woody Allen's doing. stand-up in a film being filmed and then. brings and now Colin Quinn. I go on stage.

I mean Woody Allen was doing stand up in. the film he got what he allowance to do. stand up right God isn't he does Jazz. right and he actually got up they did a. few jokes and then brought me on and but. everybody's there that day you know it's. like all of Brooklyn like this is right. before Sopranos so it's like yeah Danny. Aiello Pat Cooper and first Danny Aiello. pulls in he's got the Jaguar he drives. in his Jaguar then they go all right now. in this scene you move it you come in. driving in the car he goes wouldn't you. want me to use my jaguar in the scene.

and they're like okay yeah you're right. there so he drives his Jaguar to the. scene just then Pat Cooper Falls up. across the street so I know them all. they're all and I and Pat gets out of. his car and goes what they send a Jaguar. for Danny Aiello and I gotta get a town. car he starts screaming he's mad they. calm him down he goes on after me and. Woody Allen does imp does improv a half. hour of the most brilliant yeah free. association just riffing on the room.

ripping on everybody. and then finishes I mean literally 25. minutes people are crying right and then. Woody's in the audience so everybody's. laughing he's busting what are these bus. average balls and then they go okay Pat. now we're gonna do turn around so we. need you to do that again Woody's got to. go buy Woody thank you for coming when. he leaves they go now we got to get you. speaking Pat. he goes what they go well we had to get. we had to get Woody before he left in. the audience so you want me to um do.

what I just did that brilliant uh off. the cuff ad-lib you want me to do that. now and you're gonna do it with me and. they go yeah he goes what oh yeah that's. that's fine you just another 25 just me. doing what I and they go Pat don't be. like because hey you know what. [ __ ] Woody Allen [ __ ] Ray Garvey [ __ ]. this whole [ __ ] production is never. gonna be [ __ ] [ __ ] you oh [ __ ] this.

is what people told me about my whole. career and he goes bad [ __ ] and he. leaves and he leaves and he goes to. randazzos which is a big Clam Bar yeah. this is right next to the best Pips was. about 80 feet from random that's. calamari and sauce in the world the. greatest yeah so it's that's it's. probably like 50 yards from okay but now. I know exactly where it is. yeah so um. so then we're all over there at. Randazzles and Jackie motley's trying to.

combat that he's involved too yeah. everybody's doing your poorly walnuts. was there everybody was you know just. all these New York people at that time. you know and then they said Pat you. gotta relax he goes don't tell me to. [ __ ] relax Jackie he's screaming all. the customs and laughing like oh God. group is happening meltdown yeah because. and it was really funny and um yeah so. that was the that was the time those are. my two Woody Allen stories and that was. the oldest Club in the city yeah and you. started comedy what year.

I stuck with the owner they let me go on. that Friday night but I bombed you know. suddenly didn't use me anymore so then. it's 1984. yeah and you start and and. the city's dangerous then yeah it's a. different city yeah and the mafia. controls these clubs some of them now oh.

yeah I'm sure they ran Pips I'm sure. they ran everything on him and said. right and then you're just trying to. feed who are the biggest comedians that. you're looking at when you're starting. um was it Jerry was it Jerry was already. big Jerry's probably the biggest. um and then. um all the casualizing Star Comics were. big but so who are they but it depends. who's been like big with in within the. comedy community right not big like. audience wise but the big ones that we.

all were like oh Rich Jenny yeah Rich. Jenny was considered like he was working. all these Rogue gigs and he was like the. man you know yeah there was a guy named. Ronnie shakes I don't know if you've. ever heard of him he was on The Tonight. Show like five times it's so funny he. goes yeah he'd do all one line and he. goes I um. I tried to uh commit suicide once uh by. Drowning myself in the ocean I don't. know how serious I was I brought a towel. so you know jokes.

he had a bunch of jokes like that and he. was kind of big and um you know Eddie. Murphy just blown up I was bought any of. the comic strip so Eddie Murphy would. come in once every six months right and. like and just go on to it was crazy you. know right but um yeah I mean I don't. know who was that big Richard Lewis was. big back then. um you know Larry David around yeah but. he wasn't a great guy he wasn't he was a. funny always but he wasn't like some. like he would get mad at the audience in.

two seconds I actually was there one. night when it was uh. Lenny Dykstra and his friends Yeah Wendy. Williams and them and Larry David got. into this big old mat for the mats yeah. and then him and Larry David not Lenny. but his friend okay some drunk in front. of his and then they're leaving and the. friend is going you [ __ ] Jew you Jew. bastard and then Gilbert godfreed was. crying with laughter and just spent like.

an hour going aha Joe bat like he just. loved that the friend did you know Larry. back in the day yeah but I mean I know. was he kind of like an ornery guy or no. he was in that he was a he was a he was. an ornery but he was not unfriendly to. community no he was a nice guy he just. was I want to reach the audience right. so like his opening here's how he would. test the audience I mean it was not fair. to them and I believe me yeah being fair. to them is not high my priority right. but he would go uh hello it's good to be. here I'll use the two form with you.

people because I feel I know you well. enough to use the two form rather than. the Vu form so unless you took like. friend in [ __ ] high school right how. would you know that right and then if. they didn't let me like you [ __ ]. [ __ ] later you turned the crowd very. quickly he was ready to just throw down. but he was always funny right like even. to us he was funny who were the was it. was it like uh the female cop was like. Nancy Parker Serita rudners she had a.

huge residency in Vegas yeah and she had. funny jokes you know what I mean yeah. like oh it's old she was great it was. Joan Rivers around or not really no. those people would this was like a new. thing I think they must have been like. what the hell's happening right but. Rodney would come in right Rodney would. come in and he was this is a. he wouldn't go to his own club speaking. of mob he would go coming to catch and. he'd show up in his bathroom with a. Heineken and go on stage for 10-15. minutes and he was. so just he was a real comedian like he.

had talked to Comedians and bus balls I. used a lot of them for openings yeah and. you know you could try to sell them. jokes I try to sell him a few jokes and. he's like all right kid no no no that's. okay you know my jokes was her shitty. and uh and then some you know I'm trying. to tell him like whatever and um. and uh some lady I remember once coming. up to him going Randy Rodney you don't. get no respect he was okay lady okay go. [ __ ] yourself okay. oh my God.

but he was just a he was a funny guy he. was the only real celebrity that would. come in yeah and then how did everything. like when when your SNL was like because. you were doing a bunch of stuff that was. later on that was mostly I was on MTV. right that was my big that was my thing. SNL that's right that's when I would. really like if there was a time that. would have been the time for me to blow. up it would have been I was I would go. to a college and it'd be 1500 people. lined up I go what show are they waiting.

for I think I would laugh like what did. it he goes no that's for you and I was. like holy [ __ ] that's when college kids. watch TV I wasn't prepared yeah nobody. over we would walk around the streets me. and Ken the house. any we would get swamped like. there's kids screaming and nobody over. 23 knew what the hell who the hell it. was really interesting yeah things were. so delineated you know right right it. would just cut off Ben actually that was. the 90s yes that was I remember watching. yeah on the on that show in the 90s yeah.

and that's what when did you meet Adam. and those guys was it at SNL no I met. Adam I met Adam when he was 17. before. before MTV I knew him on MTV too and but. I met him in 1984-85 he was 17 and he. was just coming around with this little. crew of guys and he was this kid from. NYU that was just you know a charismatic. he already had his his crew of the guys. he still works with today wow and yeah. it was really interesting you know and. he was he just immediately obvious how.

insanely talented he was no first time I. saw him I was like this kid's yeah he's. he's he's cocky but he's not really. funny but right and then he went on the. road for six months and he came back. just on the road by himself did his. worked all these [ __ ] gigs did wherever. he went and I came back and I was like. this is a star right just funny you know. I mean he was always a Charming cocky. guy but when he came back from that road. I was like yeah boy yeah that's the.

beauty of the road like you know right. the beauty of Comedy which no other art. has I feel like is the audience without. the audience editing and helping you and. throwing cold water and going that's not. funny we're here to laugh sorry you. could be as CLE we don't get it without. that that's that's what we have that. nobody else has we have that feedback. that's immediate if feedback that's. immediate and honest it's not it's. involuntary laughter right right so even. if a musician is out there if I go to.

see a band I like I'm not gonna I'm not. gonna be like I don't know what to tell. them is raw you're not gonna yell out in. the middle of their new song this isn't. working this yeah this part is dragging. you need to check right but when you're. silent you're telling the people we're. not laughing right now right and you're. like oh well they came here to laugh. they like me they want to laugh if. they're not laughing I can pretend it's. something else but it's ultimately I'm. not gonna get a left there unless I fix. that so when he came back from that time.

on the road you were like this is it was. only six months right he came back and. he was so funny and so charismatic. funny as hell and just had his he just. became himself by the time he was 18 19. he was just. he had that he had that sting that thing. where people just you had to love him. you had to love him he was just funny. cocky but in a nice way and just had it. right. it's like certain people you watch like.

we watch you know I'll I'll still listen. to Patrice on Ona you know oh my God and. obviously watch all of his specials but. when you you know you listen to him on. on a the way he would break something. down nobody yeah that's right nobody can. do that. you know that's why he did it nobody. that's correct and that's what I think I. guess the best compliment is is that. this is a one and done this person's.

perspective is that's it yeah and it's. and it's yeah and it's also the tone and. even on tough crowd Patrice on tough. crowd which I didn't even notice as much. at the time as much as I loved what he. was doing but he would just go. and you and you knew okay for the next. three everybody's trying to speak and. get their thing in this son of a [ __ ]. would stop and say okay and it almost. his body language would move back. now we're gonna listen me for [ __ ].

three well however long I decide this is. right and if you look at stand up. the people a lot of successful stand-ups. are doing a tone of you're going to. listen to me however long it's going to. take interesting right yeah that's. probably true. and then a lot of people yeah and and I. I'm always amazed at how like. when people get into that zone that. Patrice was in.

every topic he talked about he owned it. uh only exactly what I'm saying right. own dead yes yeah yes yeah because for. whatever reason when he was he's one of. these people he'd speak about something. and then suddenly well look what do you. think you what do you think your podcast. is popular because you'll start talking. about something and then you'd be people. be like oh I know where this is going. and then suddenly it goes to a turn and. you're like what why are you going in. that door that's the unique that's what.

tone is yeah it's some it's all people's. minds that's what makes things. interesting yeah I mean I know you don't. like a compliment being Irish but. um I could just see like stuff I've. lived in California long enough I'm an. Arab. actually I'm uh you know yeah I forgot. how everybody dressed in the city. everybody's in monochromatic uh you know. blues and blacks right and you know I I. have you know color I got yeah salmon. shorts and uh I just you know I forgot.

that New York everybody's just like. invested in this uniform of misery well. I feel like it's awesome I'm dressed. like a music manager in Miami who just. got my artist out of jail. and I'm like yeah my order is gonna be. it rolling loud but we had to get them. out of jail. and uh we're very excited I represent. shiggy the God who will be. shiggy had issues with his baby mom's. guy. um but you know it's all good gun wasn't. his he'll be it rolling loud on the.

smaller stage 6 30 P.M. you know everybody come out. um yeah yeah it's it's it's crazy you. know you've been. like one of the most influential people. I think with comedy because you do it in. a way that people you know the one-man. show you were doing before a lot of. people did it sure and you're you do it. with jokes and a lot of people do it. without jokes a lot of people do without. them but that's the thing yeah if you're. not doing jokes right it's not coming. right to me if you're not eliciting.

laughs that's not just however you do. that you do it but if you're not getting. laughs it's not stand-up comedy you can. call it something else but yeah it's not. stand up yeah that's the pride that we. want but the fun because I talked to. Louie recently and Louie's like maybe I. won't come back to it because Louie's. like done it all so like Louie's hit the. Heights and we'd all love him to come. back he's amazing but I mean he's done. everything there's you know yeah do you. ever feel like you you'll maybe one day. be it up or no because you just dive.

into new topics all the time well I have. so much backed up material too that I. could do but uh but like I said I'd like. to take a few years and just write and. direct things I know just because like. yeah stand up I've been doing it so long. it's not like I'm at some high level I. mean I I'm out there humping when I go. when I go out on the road I can't you. know I'm not I'm selling a couple. hundred seats so it's not like I'm some. big act where I'm like oh this is crazy. I'm flying out I'm bringing my friends. with me that's not the way it goes right.

so it's fine I'm just saying but that's. that's not the kind of Attraction but. have you ever thought of launching an. energy drink because your problem is you. spend all this time like writing the. jokes getting the perfect material oh. here's the great take on this that's not. what we're doing now I don't know if. you've taken a look at the uh landscape. well we're not doing that we're doing. more like energy drink I like that yeah.

you know it's it's going in a different. direction do you do you maybe I'm still. do more music I'm still my I don't even. have merch I'm sorry I'm a merch the. instead of Comedy now you just take the. photos with the people you sell them the. shirts and you go on stage five ten. minutes. that's the way to do it yeah but it's. it's. I don't know idiot listen here's what. I'll say it's a weird.

thing now because you know we're we're. all fighting for attention. Well everybody's always that's comedy. you're fighting your attention oh yeah. we all want people to go oh this. person's saying something funny on that. side of course right so we're all no. one's above it everyone has to do it. yeah I do it my crazy way I used to run. around with wigs and fake tits like yeah. people just you got to get attention. that's fine yeah yeah I mean like I said.

as long as it's you know it's style and. substance not yeah not just style you. know as long as the silent substance but. if you have the choice style well that. was my mistake. silent substance but if you have to lose. one of them. you can what do you think about uh you. know you did such a your red state blue. state was so funny because it was about. this idea of a national divorce which is.

actually like you said and jokes but. it's also everywhere now that like you. know you can read all of this stuff. right you know what people are talking. about it and it it's kind of interesting. you know this I I I advise anyone that. hasn't seen that to watch that because. it is funny about we've stopped seeing. the differences in each other. comedically that's right we don't see. them as funny we see them as threatening. yes and that's the the Prelude to.

unfortunately what seems like a bad. situation that's correct because if you. can laugh at hey they're a little wacky. in the blue States and the red states. are wacky for their reasons right and. everybody has different Vibes and. everybody kind of laugh and nobody's. really forcing each other to do the. thing that the other one you know and. now it just feels like we're trying to. make this into a one-size-fits-all thing. and we can't laugh well that for what. you're describing first happened to. ethnicity and now in this country with.

and I did New York story was one I bet I. got that one slipped that one under the. door right and now it's man now it's. about ideological things and it's just. and it's just the mo the people that set. the tone in my opinion because of social. media partially mostly is the most the. the zealots right and the extremists and. the people that are and that Zealot an. extreme nobody ever used this expression. this person was activist funny because.

for a reason so these are the people. that set the tone right and even their. idea of humor is very you know it's what. I liked about red Saint Blue State you. broke down culture yeah and you talked. about not it was not a political show. it's not this it's not that you talk. about culture and how people differ yeah. and how environments differ yeah and how. you know people believe certain things. and thinks they're certain things. because of where they're from and how. they live yeah to flatten all of those.

people and to make them all feel one way. is a Fool's errand yeah exactly and. that's yeah yeah it's gonna lead to the. blow up I mean Long Island and New York. are so different if you try absolutely. 40 minutes to where I grew up it's. different than Manhattan so how in God's. name are you going to get central Texas. that's right on board with uh Tacoma you. just don't well and before you die. trying well and like true true what true.

zealots do is they think that the the. people in that part of Long Island have. to change right the way they see things. they're wrong instead of going wait a. minute let's discuss this and find a way. but nobody can be a little bit of a Live. and Let Live yeah or at least a. compromise but the whole country's based. on compromise but apparently that's uh. it's not kind of it's gonna not gonna. fly in the future yeah it's a it's a. crazy if you I always say which is if. you if you're either if you characterize. people as either groomers or Nazis.

there's not going to be a lot of wiggle. room right if you're at the point and. that's it that's all that is that we've. descended to the type of politics where. everyone either a pedophile or a Nazi it. is on the internet everybody's just. tweeting that yeah it is a good point. and true in full disclosure my brother. said it first right. yeah wait no my brother okay. he's not a comedian he just said it to. me one day yeah that's a good point he's. a great Point well thank you for. disclosing that because we would have.

known no people would have said oh you. said that now then the rest of my life. would be like well my brother. my brother. um it's it's interesting and and this. new chat GPT and all the AI yeah and all. these computers that are going to. take over and everybody kind of is. cheerleading that I I think we lived in. the last time yeah of the thing that. we're doing being done the way we do it.

yes I think things the digital World's. Gonna Win. or it's gonna be it's gonna be so. transformative that what we did was. unrecognizable yeah. um. but I'm glad I lived now yeah if. somebody said would you like to be two. years old now I'd say no I know I mean. who knew the Matrix that would be such a. yeah I mean even at the time people like. this Matrix is really amazing yeah but. now people like oh my God yeah this. sucks yeah but I I I'm glad that I kind.

of occupied the time I did where I saw a. little bit of it yes but I had a lot of. before it became omnipresent where you. couldn't get away from it well it's. funny you said it because the the small. talk is about how personal how you won't. say I talk about that there needs to be. a museum because you'll not see these. personalities no again because of GPT. chat and all those other stuff all the. other stuff the whole algorithm and.

it'll seem like it's being deep but. it'll be well we're now engine it we. have the ability to engineer people. that's right from their birth that's. right throughout their whole life and. they're much more connected to their. phone than they will be to their. Community that's right and to their. traditions and so those personalities. you would find all over the country that. differed greatly yes are gonna go away. and they're going to be replaced by this. kind of homogenized version exactly yeah.

which will suck yeah but those are the. people that eventually and whatever the. next phase of right whatever that what. wolf just fall in line and be the. workers for whoever is running the show. yeah sadly yeah well it's all right. people already fall in line the way they. speak they speak in algorithms that's. what I want to talk about yeah yeah. that's interesting they speak in. algorithms yes that's it. yeah well it's fun stuff yeah real funny. but it's fun but it's Irish and you know.

it's the you know Louis does that bit. all all good things and bad. and that's the Irish thing yeah. that's the thing about being Irish is. not really expecting like people that I. know that are really drunk on Hope yes. it's so antithetical to me just because. I was raised without it that's that's. right that's right I mean the Irish are. raised without yes there's no we don't. believe in that kind of thing we don't. believe enthusiasm and hope is just. disgusting it's gross people look at you.

like you're just they're disgusted by it. no it's like the yeah there will be a. tomorrow but I mean God only knows what. the hell that's going to be like is that. right yeah good luck with that yeah. and it we do live in a time now where in. order to be super positive you have to. be a little bit of a sociopath. don't be a little bit I think it's. always been that time well that's. probably how it is yeah I mean to be. just completely like things are good. yeah yeah Colin Quinn where can people.

get tickets. to this new show well when's it coming. out this is coming out today oh wow. thanks. it's a city geez I know harlequin.com I. mean that's really the way to go. colloquin.com you're in New York that's. the way to go that's the way to go. and then you're on the road and then I'm. on the road a little bit and then. hopefully by next summer I'll be. directing you outside of an Italian. restaurant in Island Park I mean we've.

always wanted to make this movie about. Long Island I think it could be more of. a reality yeah I think so too now and. we'll see I mean there are what happens. yeah there are things that are good. there are you know positive I just got. my I I don't want to say what was done. to me but I just did a horror movie I. just did another really big movie I had. a small scene the director yelled at me. a lot I don't know if it's in the movie. but it's with one of the biggest stars. in the world and maybe it will be in the. movie but the director seemed very. unhappy with me but at the end he said I. meant my wits end with you but at the.

end but at the end he said good job we. got it so I think that means something I. don't know I don't think it does it. might I think it I think you just said. he's gonna take it out I think he's. gonna give you the Woody Allen but Woody. alligator I don't want to say when Woody. Allen was directing me I thought the. same thing after that we're pretty good. it's not coming out for a long time yeah. but I'll just say that at the end of the. you know during the scene he would come. up to me goes I don't know what you're. doing that's you know how many times I. heard this yeah I'll explain acting care.

if you ever want because what is it. because I think I'm doing it well but. it's directors I think they're the. problem. these people I'll tell you exactly what. he cares I'm going to tell you exactly. what it is okay it's one we don't know. what we're doing with acting so it took. me a long time to understand yeah I. don't get it the problem yeah I do some. of it I get no no you're surprised I. show up. that's not enough here's what I'm. telling you the problem is when as. comedians in my opinion we try we want. to entertain in the scene so instead of.

just realizing that Tim Dillon just. talking right here being yourself not. moving not trying to be entertaining is. funny what you understand on stage if. you went up there and you go haha I have. a joke and start laughing it would be. insane right but we're doing that in. acting scene she's like I have to be. interesting no you don't all you have to. do is just be yourself and that's fake. circumstance that's interesting and. that's funny and that's interesting.

dangerous but it's because we're like I. gotta bring something to this that's the. opposite of what we know to be the truth. but because it's acting we think it's. got to be doing so I hope the scene is. in the movie yeah that is my hope and. prayer because in the end well at the. end I think it was great well when he. said we got it I think he means we get. it well no I I said to him I said was it. good he goes yay because I don't move on. until I got it because you got it. because and then a little Asian woman.

came up to me and she goes uh he said. great job and I said thank you God it. sounds like you were badgering them and. then I left and then they never had me. back to set first of all the fact you go. was it good I think I felt cornered no. I'm six foot two oh I'm insane 62 irish. guys a little guy he was always here. that's what I mean and you're like was. it good he's like we got it please tell. him it's good first scene I did anyway. no Colin it's the first scene I did in. any movie who cares about some [ __ ] it's.

any movie and I'm not saying which movie. it was we'll do all movies what what. well I'm I don't think I'm allowed to. say it but I will say that. I hope it's in this movie because I. signed all this [ __ ] it's like a Marvel. movie no it's like one of those type of. movies big movies it's a it's a it's a. it's a the stuff can I say the stars of. the movie can I say the stars of the. movie where'd you sign this I don't know. I don't read what I signed can I say the.

stars of the movie but no I don't think. anyone will get it you talking to me. like I'm a I'm an entertainment lawyer I. don't know if you can say the stars of. the goddamn movie. he probably cut out anyway do you have a. close if you Colin they didn't cut it. out it's an integral scene that's what. he said yeah he goes and says I don't. think it's cutting out yeah. but I can't I don't want to tell people. what it is I here's what I'll say okay. the stars of the movie yeah. are.

it's gonna oh they're big they're big. you I wonder if I say them will you get. it. um yeah I already get it White Men Can't. Jump the new one it is it is white man. can't John that's the Stars no it's. frozen three it's live action. let it go it's me and Dylan Mulvaney in. Frozen three. no it's it's the stars of the film are. are are Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga. they're the stars of the movie and I'm.

not gonna say the movie it starts in the. movie and the scene I had was with. Joaquin that's a big that's a big thing. it's very intimidating she's he's a. serious actor well so am I yeah a little. bit. and he was we both did well but no I I'm. hoping it's in I pray it's in because it. was really an amazing experience and I. pray it's him did you meet Lady Gaga no. no no no I you know. I think she's a brilliantly talented.

person but I was super intimidated. because it was hard you know when you do. a scene with a guy like that it's tough. only because he's brilliant and you know. I did good. I think it's in don't you think it's him. no it sounds like it's out. just the fact that the guy that you had. to come over and go okay was that good. and he goes um yeah I only said is that. good because they had to keep doing it. he was screaming at me yeah saying it's. bad. yeah exactly.

that's because it was a lot of blocking. that's what I was [ __ ] up [ __ ] and. the lines and the lines I couldn't oh. okay I didn't really have the line you. didn't feel like. uh self-conscious but other than the. blocking and the lines it was good. those were the two problems those are. the two those are not those those are. the those are the main issues those are. not important but they gave me the lines. of the day of because they didn't want. the script leaking out because it's one. of these films and was walking Phoenix. looking at you like who is this person.

well he you know no no I think he gets. it yeah. I think he understood that we're. colleagues you should have asked him to. come on the podcast. I don't know how that would go Lady Gaga. he I don't know how that would go either. should be interesting Joaquin is. brilliantly in a you know he's so in it. yes that I don't know I don't know like. shooting the [ __ ] how that. this this thing I do is what they.

consider a low art form a low low art. what comedy and podcasts well just. sitting around and running my fat mouth. about things like it's not respected. you know what I mean it's like it's the. definition of not respected like there's. a great scene in Barry the new season of. Barry where they're like listen let me. explain something to you they're like. you called someone a [ __ ] on the. internet and your boyfriend is in jail. for murder they're like you could have a. reality show or a podcast but. um but yeah it's it's tide is turned but.

the reality is I I think probably people. look down on a podcast which I get if I. was walking Phoenix I may look down on a. podcast too. but I'm not. but I feel like the scene was really. good and I hope it's in it I don't want. to prep please don't get me in trouble. for saying the goddamn thing. I mean I say it I didn't say it they. could be doing five movies ten movies. wow. what's the big deal. I'm just saying the scenes in and I did. good. at the end it was good right.

I just want you to believe it's good I. don't I I believe you got the same. reaction that I got from Woody Allen and. I got cut immediately but what do these. people know but all I know is you know. right now in your gut whether that's you. got God or not I just want to know. before I go because I'll be so. embarrassed. I'll be so embarrassed if it's not in I. know I'll be mortified yeah but usually. I think you find out beforehand that's. part of the your agent will find out I.

think by the end of the yelling it was. actually good by the end of the the. screaming yeah because I got better well. yes I need to get roughed up a little. bit sometimes all right then that's good. because I needed that then that yeah. that made it worse after all of like. what the [ __ ] are you doing why are you. doing it this way I don't understand. that why aren't you listening some. people like uh like um Quinn Buckner. responded to Bobby Knight's coaching but. Larry Bird left after a year because he. doesn't respond to that so some people.

like to get yelled at by Bobby Knight. and some people leave the and go to. Indiana State because they can't take it. it all depends. I'm known as Hollywood's Larry Bird no. no you're the opposite you stood there. you're the guy that let's I'm no. Millennial you can spit in my face. that's what I'm saying me yeah just put. the scene in the movie yeah I'd respond. to someone because I need direct. everybody needs directions that's right. but you have the right attitude which is. like all right fine. David O Russell's of the world I could.

get yelled at because I get it yes. because I am [ __ ] it up a little bit. but maybe it's the whole process is. becoming better yeah well maybe maybe my. [ __ ] up is like bringing things out. in all the other actors you're a great. enlightened attitude that's great I. think so yeah so maybe Joaquin was very. nice he put his hand on my shoulder and. he uh he uh pulled a lighter out of my. pocket you just started smoking oh what. have you seen oh yeah he well he smokes. on this on set because it helps him but.

did you in the scene is he smoking a. cigarette no no I thought that was like. a cool thing in the middle of the scene. he took a lighter right now no no no to. his character you know well they kept. interrupting it going cut cut cut cut. yeah it listen by the end it was good. everything else is a process. colinquinn.com yes harlequin.com.
