Yeah, it's successful. Yes, please come to our show. No, No,
27
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.319
we've had we've had some very good audiences. They're not
28
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:24.920
is we got to promote more. But we have some
29
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:26.599
good We have some we've had some really good audience.
30
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:27.799
Members of the last show were great.
31
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:28.879
I'm not complaining about the audience.
32
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:29.439
They had a good time.
33
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:32.319
Plain me about the people we work with, the club owners, Yeah,
34
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.280
and the people that think they're funny, and the people
35
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.640
that want to tell stories, and the people that complain
36
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.079
about our open mic rules and the things. It's not
37
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:39.680
the audience.
38
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.239
Well, the one guy who caused the biggest stink is
39
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:46.920
had brain surgery, so uh and thankfully he's okay, but
40
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.400
I think that might have been affecting his judgment maybe
41
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:49.840
a little bit.
42
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.040
I want to send him and by the way, we
43
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:56.200
we you know, they're talking about acoustic weapons, experienced acoustic Yes,
44
00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:58.840
who is Are you fat? Are you pregnant?
45
00:01:58.920 --> 00:01:59.159
Yes?
46
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.000
Drove all the girls out of our audience. Yeah, yeah,
47
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:03.560
I mean.
48
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.280
You kind of got a kind of that's the that's
49
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.319
the one downside I will say about doing the open
50
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:10.919
mic before the show is that often we have things
51
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.520
like that happened that are beyond our control even and
52
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.120
people people get kind of antsy, and it's like, well,
53
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:17.039
these are open micurs.
54
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.080
This is not the main show, right, But most shows
55
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:19.840
do it at the beginning.
56
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.159
If you do it, you don't want to do it
57
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:21.400
a the end.
58
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.560
No one's gonna say, but everybody wants to be Yeah,
59
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:25.919
remember everybody we couldn't.
60
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:28.240
We can remember a certain guy who played the pan flute.
61
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.800
Yeah, and another guy who was hammered out of his mind.
62
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.080
And everybody's hammered, and now they all want to get.
63
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.400
The guy who played the pan flute. I won't say
64
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.639
his name, but he was hilarious because he was he
65
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.319
was up playing the pan flute and uh, he was
66
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.120
doing a noble job. But people, it was a comedy show.
67
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:45.840
People didn't come for music. And then he was getting
68
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:47.719
really angry that no one was listening to him, and
69
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.800
I was like, well this, first of all, the show's over.
70
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:51.719
Second of all, this is not a music This is
71
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:53.840
not a concert. This is a comedy show.
72
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.000
Did you see the crowd along with folk music?
73
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:56.400
Oh?
74
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.360
Yeah, you know. I mean, yeah, So I'll call this

That was not ten minutes? Yeah, I'll give you the

00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.360
the guy from Lebanon who can't take criticism, who wants
81
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.919
to be on a podcast so to promote his porn business,
82
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:26.080

87
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.479
guy with a long period. Yeah. You got five guys
88
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.520
right there. Yeah, you take them if you want. He said,
89
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.800
please don't throw me into the briar patch. Please please
90
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.240
don't come to Nagloia and try to hire people. Oh
91
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.240
I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Yeah, and
92
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.800
you kind of arm my worst enemy enough. So I
93
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.159
thought that we should probably.
94
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:55.719
We have a rogues gallery. We should put a poster up,
95
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:56.759
you know, if you see these.
96
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.759
People, so that, like you, you've said for you've predicted
97
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.319
that novelty is going to wear off. Yea, because nicoy
98
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.719
audience is don't pay twenty five hundred yen for long.
99
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.000
Well, I think I think there's a limited number of
100
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.479
people for every month. I think it's a little limited number.
101
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.120
About our audience. Our audience is one thousand yen. Yeah,
102
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.240
and they complain about five hundred gen beer.
103
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.000
Yeah. But I think one thing we do, we do
104
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:19.680
need to We should take it as inspiration and we
105
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.600
should also like be promoting more and we should also
106
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.160
be doing more online stuff. But the thing is, we're teachers,
107
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.560
so there's a limit. There's kind of a limit to
108
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.839
what we can do. You know, we have day jobs
109
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:31.600
that we have to worry about, so we can't get
110
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.600
too spicy in our online videos. And a lot of
111
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.680
these people they get attention, they get attention from from
112
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.680
doing kind of spicy videos on TikTok and Instagram stuff
113
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:45.000
like that. And you know, I don't. I prefer the
114
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.639
podcast because we can talk freely and nobody sees our faces,
115
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.399
so we have a little bit of anonymity, Like if
116
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:50.839
people want to know who we are, of course they
117
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.000
can find out who we are, but it's not it's
118
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.439
not like we're we're we're blasting our faces out to everywhere.
119
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.480
And we've got the podcast. The former the autistic guy,
120
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:03.639
he said he was going to start a podcast up
121
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.800
there and took, yeah, that's the reason I started. I'm like, well,
122
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.720
they're not gonna get anything on us. They've never done anything. Yeah,
123
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:11.639
they have a couple of guys. They're nice enough guys,
124
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.639
but they don't get the listeners that we get and
125
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:15.600
a lot of comics.
126
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.800
And we've just been making money handle or fist off
127
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:19.519
this podcast.
128
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.480
So, oh, you ruined the illusion. I was telling itybody,
129
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.639
we don't make money. Wait, we get more money from that, Like,
130
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.319
let's help these guys out. The Lebanese guy one of
131
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.360
the reasons he got pissed off. He wanted to be
132
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.279
on the podcast and I said fine, and he goes,
133
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:36.959
but you pay my transportation. I said, we're not making Yeah,
134
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:38.160
we're not making money for that.
135
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.240
I think that who was in his kind of young
136
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.879
prima donna face. Now he's moving into more. Oh, recently
137
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.879
he asked you that porn business and all that. I mean,
138
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:49.800
it's just it's gonna blow up at some point. You
139
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.720
can't be doing that and doing the other job. You
140
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.360
know that, he does. I think it's the two worlds.
141
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:57.839
When those two worlds touch each other, there's going to
142
00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:59.839
be an explosion and bad things are gonna happen. You
143
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:01.959
know what I mean, Like, you can't you can't work
144
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.279
in those two different worlds and not have blowback.
145
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.360
But yeah, he was flaming me, and I said, look,
146
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:09.480
I'm not arguing with you. I'm just explaining. And I
147
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.879
sent kind of a LinkedIn explanation. We have listeners, but
148
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.600
we're like Spotify is getting money from us, We're not
149
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.439
getting money. Yeah, and uh, and he said I didn't
150
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:20.920
need like a new Tora. He was getting a little antisemitic.
151
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.600
And then and he said, but also, you can't say
152
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:25.279
that Jews don't control the media.
153
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:26.920
Did he tore you a new asshole?
154
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.519
He said, you can't say that Jews don't control the media.
155
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:34.079
You control the podcasts. Yeah, okay, I also control the weather.
156
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:35.720
I can control the podcasts.
157
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.399
I control the weather. It's like saying it's not even
158
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:43.759
a very profitable thing. Is the Jews control dice manufacturing?
159
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.399
The Jews control value cleaner chords.
160
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.079
No, I think he's the printer ink cartridges.
161
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:54.920
Yeah, that makes sense.
162
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.319
For forget the movie The Media printer in cartridges.
163
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.720
Her family happens with you is that's Carly Simon's empire. Really,
164
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.480
it was Wesen and Kodak, Kodek Kodak. They do print,
165
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:08.839
they do.
166
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:10.399
That's a real racket ink.
167
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.519
There used to be a place of racket. I think
168
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.399
it was Yamatadink right around the corner.
169
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:16.439
He used to be able to be used to have
170
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.920
to buy cheap stuff from China and refill them yourselves.
171
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.040
And then they then they banned that and they suited
172
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:21.920
all those companies.
173
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.759
There was Yamada Dunkey, yeah, and you could just they
174
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.079
had printers for five thousand yen. Yeah, and then you
175
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:32.199
just throw it away and you never changed. The cartridges
176
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:34.240
are nine thousand yen. Yeah.
177
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.519
I saw a printer on Amazon dot Com recently four thousand,
178
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.079
five hundred and then I was like oh, and then
179
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:41.600
I was like how much are the cartridges? And I
180
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.759
was like, eh, so you only that's why you get
181
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.879
a laser printer. Don't get thee in chets are ridiculous.
182
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.240
To use the cartridges and when they buy.
183
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:51.160
My parents have a laser printer and they've got a
184
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.480
big there's a big cartridge of ink and you have
185
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:56.560
to change it like what every six months or every year.
186
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.600
They don't print a lot. They last forever. They last forever.
187
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:02.079
So I thought it'd be a good chance for us
188
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:04.800
to talk about how the Gooy Comedy is unique.
189
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.120
So I'll kind of say a bit about the feedback
190
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:08.800
that we had when we've had guests come down here.
191
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:11.279
We've had times where we've had guests come down and
192
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.480
we've done our bits and they go, you can say that,
193
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:16.839
you can talk about that, and I was like, yeah,
194
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:19.040
we do. We talk about everything. We're not We're not limited.
195
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:20.879
And then we had that weirdo come to us after
196
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.519
the show and go, so, what is it you guys
197
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:27.000
really want? Like, like, I know what you want us
198
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:30.360
to say, but it's not something I not something I I.
199
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:32.480
It's not that I'm hiding it. No, I just don't
200
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.200
want to say that because it's there's no reason to
201
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:34.960
say that stuff.
202
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:40.720
I've had John Gotti in Tokyo insinuate to us. He
203
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:44.279
thinks the way the Goya Comedy does comedy, it's not
204
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.159
in alignment with him that the way he wants to
205
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:49.039
do it. So me, you know how I'm talking about?
206
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.399
Yeah, got so metaphorical John Gotti.
207
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:52.679
He's sly, like.
208
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:57.159
A like a yes, a wolf, Yeah, a wolf.
209
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:03.159
Yeah. So I said, yeah, the thing is, yeah, paying
210
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:06.600
people what I get paid, get a communist, paying people
211
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:10.399
what I get paid, Recommending heavily new sets every month,
212
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:16.279
fresh new comedy every month, recommending that comics right monthly. Yeah, okay, Boomer,
213
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.679
you know, okay, Yeah, I guess that's not in alignment
214
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:21.720
with what you want to do. I will just say
215
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:23.759
this and that and that and that, but I just
216
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.840
say this. I was gonna say's a running dangerfield in
217
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.600
the eighties. Jerry Seinfeld, Jaylen.
218
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:31.279
Did you see the package? Was he in a robe?
219
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:36.679
Let me for this? Jay LENO. I got advice from
220
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:38.840
Rita Rudnue gave me advice too. I got advice from
221
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:44.039
Bob Saget, Gilbert Gutfried. You were two a little bit
222
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.679
of respect for yourself. I mean, I would never treat
223
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.240
well Lucy kay is actually my age. I would never
224
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.039
treat not that I'm George Carlin, what would be. I
225
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:57.039
would never treat Larry Miller the way John Gotti is
226
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.000
treating us. I would never do that out of respect
227
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.799
for SEMPI, for people that were there before me. Maybe
228
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.000
we did it differently then. You don't know you were
229
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:10.600
two guys at forty four to forty six. We're two,
230
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.200
so I don't need advice from you. And now now
231
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:18.799
you're coming for us, go ahead, knock yourself up. You're
232
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:20.840
gonna you're gonna shoot yourself on the head after two
233
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:22.279
years of working in the get.
234
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.440
Well, we're gonna. I think we'll just keep on deal
235
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.559
what we do and we will find a new audience
236
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.039
and expand an audience and.
237
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.399
Keeping our same audience because our audience doesn't pay twenty
238
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:31.919
five hundred.
239
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:35.480
No, but you see, we don't have to charge twenty
240
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.240
five hundred because we don't travel, don't we don't like
241
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:40.480
we're just here. We're already here in the city. We
242
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.200
don't have to spend nieman en each on the shinkansen
243
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.360
to come down here and go back. That's the thing
244
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.600
that people don't understand the economics of comedy. You're not
245
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.159
gonna be making that much money because it's just the shinkansen,
246
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:54.399
the bullet train come down. I guess if you take
247
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.799
the bus. But the bus to Tokyo that's a long
248
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.279
that's a whole day, let's say five hours if you
249
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:00.000
want to take the bus.
250
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.240
Well, there's a point we reached it as well. There's
251
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.080
a point where it's like, hey, we're doing comedy, let's
252
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:06.159
do different cities. Let's do a tour, because yeah, it
253
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.039
sounds cool to say you do a tour. We were
254
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.519
doing Okazaki and we're doing you know, doing Gifu, and
255
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:12.559
it's like we're kind of on a tour, right, we've
256
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.639
made it. And there's a point, like the Stages of
257
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.440
Drinking by Larry Miller, there's a point where you go,
258
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.320
you know, Kazaki and Nagoya, why don't we just do
259
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.559
it in Gooya? It's just a pain. And to go
260
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.120
to other cities. We love Okazaki, we love Okazaki, but
261
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:29.279
it's just a pain to travel.
262
00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:31.960
Remember we used to go to Gifu. Yeah, it's so
263
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.559
many adventures up there. But that's not not far.
264
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:36.480
I think you reach a point. They reached a point
265
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:38.759
where they're like, let's tour and and and Steve and I.
266
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.679
We're touring Fukuoka. Yeah we didn't do that again.
267
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:42.720
That was weird.
268
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:44.960
It's like you got a little kid. And when I
269
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.320
was a kid and my parents were old school boomers.
270
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.720
So you had a lamp at my grandpa's house with
271
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:55.360
no light bulb in it, and it's hooked into the hall,
272
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.399
and can I put having like four or five? Can
273
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.399
I put my finger in here? I goes, well you can,
274
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.039
technically's technically He goes, why would you want to do that?
275
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:09.360
But I want to see what it's like. And he goes,
276
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:14.440
you're only gonna do it one. But he was right.
277
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:16.879
I never did it again. Wow, you're going to tour
278
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.440
and then you're gonna realize, man, this is like a
279
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:23.679
waste of time. Yeah, and we're not making much money. Yeah,
280
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:26.519
you won't do it for long? Go ahead, it's right
281
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:33.000
down there, Sean JG. But no, I worked for eleven years.
282
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.639
You want eleven years to wrestle this from aple cash
283
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.159
who didn't pay us? I know, just for the radical
284
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:40.840
idea that we write new stuff and we pay when
285
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:44.399
I get paid. This guy doesn't pay what he gets paid.
286
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:45.679
He gets more.
287
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:47.559
But who knows. We'll just keep doing what we're doing
288
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:49.919
and they'll do what they do, and that's that's that.
289
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:51.480
But they're nice to me when I go up there.
290
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:52.960
I think I could go up there again and they'll
291
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:54.600
still be nice to me. I think there's like three
292
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.320
minute open mic stuff and they're like, you could do
293
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:59.240
six to eight. It was just courtesy, yeah, for you know,
294
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:00.200
because we're I.
295
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.679
Just think we need a little bit more diversity in
296
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:06.000
the comedy thing seen in general, I think we need
297
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:08.600
more diversity in the comedy scene, like different different groups
298
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:11.919
in different cities doing different stuff. Like Kansai Comedy. I
299
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:13.399
went down there and did a show with them. They're
300
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.039
really good. They're nice people, and they're also kind of
301
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:19.639
outsiders because the old time guys, the Osaka comedy people
302
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.039
been doing that for years, so they're kind of upstarts.
303
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:25.879
Well, the thing is with Nagoya, it's a very finite audience. Yeah,
304
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:29.919
it's very rare. Mark Bailey Mike Miller on Talk Funny
1
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:03.240

00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:28.879
I'm not complaining about the audience.
32
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:29.439
They had a good time.
33
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:32.319
Plain me about the people we work with, the club owners, Yeah,
34
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.280
and the people that think they're funny, and the people
35
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.640
that want to tell stories, and the people that complain
36
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.079
about our open mic rules and the things. It's not
37
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:39.680
the audience.
38
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.239
Well, the one guy who caused the biggest stink is
39
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:46.920
had brain surgery, so uh and thankfully he's okay, but
40
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.400
I think that might have been affecting his judgment maybe
41
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:49.840
a little bit.
42
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.040
I want to send him and by the way, we
43
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:56.200
we you know, they're talking about acoustic weapons, experienced acoustic Yes,
44
00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:58.840
who is Are you fat? Are you pregnant?
45
00:01:58.920 --> 00:01:59.159
Yes?
46
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.000
Drove all the girls out of our audience. Yeah, yeah,
47
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:03.560
I mean.
48
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.280
You kind of got a kind of that's the that's
49
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.319
the one downside I will say about doing the open
50
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:10.919
mic before the show is that often we have things
51
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.520
like that happened that are beyond our control even and
52
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.120
people people get kind of antsy, and it's like, well,
53
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:17.039
these are open micurs.
54
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.080
This is not the main show, right, But most shows
55
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:19.840
do it at the beginning.
56
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.159
If you do it, you don't want to do it
57
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:21.400
a the end.
58
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.560
No one's gonna say, but everybody wants to be Yeah,
59
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:25.919
remember everybody we couldn't.
60
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:28.240
We can remember a certain guy who played the pan flute.
61
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.800
Yeah, and another guy who was hammered out of his mind.
62
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.080
And everybody's hammered, and now they all want to get.
63
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.400
The guy who played the pan flute. I won't say
64
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.639
his name, but he was hilarious because he was he
65
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.319
was up playing the pan flute and uh, he was
66
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.120
doing a noble job. But people, it was a comedy show.
67
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:45.840
People didn't come for music. And then he was getting
68
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:47.719
really angry that no one was listening to him, and
69
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.800
I was like, well this, first of all, the show's over.
70
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:51.719
Second of all, this is not a music This is
71
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:53.840
not a concert. This is a comedy show.
72
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.000
Did you see the crowd along with folk music?
73
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:56.400
Oh?
74
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.360
Yeah, you know. I mean, yeah, So I'll call this
75
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:03.280

That was not ten minutes? Yeah, I'll give you the
80
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.360
the guy from Lebanon who can't take criticism, who wants
81
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.919
to be on a podcast so to promote his porn business,
82
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:26.080
who flames me eighteen times a day. Oh yeah, I'll
83
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:27.520

86
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.199
give you the guy who chose to fight with another
87
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.479
guy with a long period. Yeah. You got five guys
88
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.520
right there. Yeah, you take them if you want. He said,
89
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.800
please don't throw me into the briar patch. Please please
90
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.240
don't come to Nagloia and try to hire people. Oh
91
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.240
I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Yeah, and
92
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.800
you kind of arm my worst enemy enough. So I
93
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.159
thought that we should probably.
94
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:55.719
We have a rogues gallery. We should put a poster up,
95
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:56.759
you know, if you see these.
96
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.759
People, so that, like you, you've said for you've predicted
97
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.319
that novelty is going to wear off. Yea, because nicoy
98
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.719
audience is don't pay twenty five hundred yen for long.
99
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.000
Well, I think I think there's a limited number of
100
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.479
people for every month. I think it's a little limited number.
101
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.120
About our audience. Our audience is one thousand yen. Yeah,
102
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.240
and they complain about five hundred gen beer.
103
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.000
Yeah. But I think one thing we do, we do
104
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:19.680
need to We should take it as inspiration and we
105
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.600
should also like be promoting more and we should also
106
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.160
be doing more online stuff. But the thing is, we're teachers,
107
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.560
so there's a limit. There's kind of a limit to
108
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.839
what we can do. You know, we have day jobs
109
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:31.600
that we have to worry about, so we can't get
110
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.600
too spicy in our online videos. And a lot of
111
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.680
these people they get attention, they get attention from from
112
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.680
doing kind of spicy videos on TikTok and Instagram stuff
113
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:45.000
like that. And you know, I don't. I prefer the
114
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.639
podcast because we can talk freely and nobody sees our faces,
115
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.399
so we have a little bit of anonymity, Like if
116
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:50.839
people want to know who we are, of course they
117
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.000
can find out who we are, but it's not it's
118
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.439
not like we're we're we're blasting our faces out to everywhere.
119
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.480
And we've got the podcast. The former the autistic guy,
120
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:03.639
he said he was going to start a podcast up
121
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.800
there and took, yeah, that's the reason I started. I'm like, well,
122
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.720
they're not gonna get anything on us. They've never done anything. Yeah,
123
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:11.639
they have a couple of guys. They're nice enough guys,
124
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.639
but they don't get the listeners that we get and
125
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:15.600
a lot of comics.
126
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.800
And we've just been making money handle or fist off
127
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:19.519
this podcast.
128
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.480
So, oh, you ruined the illusion. I was telling itybody,
129
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.639
we don't make money. Wait, we get more money from that, Like,
130
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.319
let's help these guys out. The Lebanese guy one of
131
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.360
the reasons he got pissed off. He wanted to be
132
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.279
on the podcast and I said fine, and he goes,
133
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:36.959
but you pay my transportation. I said, we're not making Yeah,
134
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:38.160
we're not making money for that.
135
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.240
I think that who was in his kind of young
136
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.879
prima donna face. Now he's moving into more. Oh, recently
137
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.879
he asked you that porn business and all that. I mean,
138
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:49.800
it's just it's gonna blow up at some point. You
139
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.720
can't be doing that and doing the other job. You
140
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.360
know that, he does. I think it's the two worlds.
141
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:57.839
When those two worlds touch each other, there's going to
142
00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:59.839
be an explosion and bad things are gonna happen. You
143
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:01.959
know what I mean, Like, you can't you can't work
144
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.279
in those two different worlds and not have blowback.
145
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.360
But yeah, he was flaming me, and I said, look,
146
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:09.480
I'm not arguing with you. I'm just explaining. And I
147
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.879
sent kind of a LinkedIn explanation. We have listeners, but
148
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.600
we're like Spotify is getting money from us, We're not
149
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.439
getting money. Yeah, and uh, and he said I didn't
150
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:20.920
need like a new Tora. He was getting a little antisemitic.
151
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.600
And then and he said, but also, you can't say
152
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:25.279
that Jews don't control the media.
153
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:26.920
Did he tore you a new asshole?
154
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.519
He said, you can't say that Jews don't control the media.
155
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:34.079
You control the podcasts. Yeah, okay, I also control the weather.
156
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:35.720
I can control the podcasts.
157
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.399
I control the weather. It's like saying it's not even
158
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:43.759
a very profitable thing. Is the Jews control dice manufacturing?
159
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.399
The Jews control value cleaner chords.
160
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.079
No, I think he's the printer ink cartridges.
161
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:54.920
Yeah, that makes sense.
162
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.319
For forget the movie The Media printer in cartridges.
163
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.720
Her family happens with you is that's Carly Simon's empire. Really,
164
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.480
it was Wesen and Kodak, Kodek Kodak. They do print,
165
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:08.839
they do.
166
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:10.399
That's a real racket ink.
167
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.519
There used to be a place of racket. I think
168
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.399
it was Yamatadink right around the corner.
169
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:16.439
He used to be able to be used to have
170
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.920
to buy cheap stuff from China and refill them yourselves.
171
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.040
And then they then they banned that and they suited
172
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:21.920
all those companies.
173
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.759
There was Yamada Dunkey, yeah, and you could just they
174
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.079
had printers for five thousand yen. Yeah, and then you
175
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:32.199
just throw it away and you never changed. The cartridges
176
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:34.240
are nine thousand yen. Yeah.
177
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.519
I saw a printer on Amazon dot Com recently four thousand,
178
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.079
five hundred and then I was like oh, and then
179
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:41.600
I was like how much are the cartridges? And I
180
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.759
was like, eh, so you only that's why you get
181
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.879
a laser printer. Don't get thee in chets are ridiculous.
182
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.240
To use the cartridges and when they buy.
183
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:51.160
My parents have a laser printer and they've got a
184
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.480
big there's a big cartridge of ink and you have
185
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:56.560
to change it like what every six months or every year.
186
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.600
They don't print a lot. They last forever. They last forever.
187
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:02.079
So I thought it'd be a good chance for us
188
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:04.800
to talk about how the Gooy Comedy is unique.
189
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.120
So I'll kind of say a bit about the feedback
190
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:08.800
that we had when we've had guests come down here.
191
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:11.279
We've had times where we've had guests come down and
192
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.480
we've done our bits and they go, you can say that,
193
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:16.839
you can talk about that, and I was like, yeah,
194
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:19.040
we do. We talk about everything. We're not We're not limited.
195
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:20.879
And then we had that weirdo come to us after
196
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.519
the show and go, so, what is it you guys
197
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:27.000
really want? Like, like, I know what you want us
198
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:30.360
to say, but it's not something I not something I I.
199
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:32.480
It's not that I'm hiding it. No, I just don't
200
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.200
want to say that because it's there's no reason to
201
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:34.960
say that stuff.
202
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:40.720
I've had John Gotti in Tokyo insinuate to us. He
203
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:44.279
thinks the way the Goya Comedy does comedy, it's not
204
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.159
in alignment with him that the way he wants to
205
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:49.039
do it. So me, you know how I'm talking about?
206
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.399
Yeah, got so metaphorical John Gotti.
207
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:52.679
He's sly, like.
208
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:57.159
A like a yes, a wolf, Yeah, a wolf.
209
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:03.159
Yeah. So I said, yeah, the thing is, yeah, paying
210
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:06.600
people what I get paid, get a communist, paying people
211
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:10.399
what I get paid, Recommending heavily new sets every month,
212
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:16.279
fresh new comedy every month, recommending that comics right monthly. Yeah, okay, Boomer,
213
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.679
you know, okay, Yeah, I guess that's not in alignment
214
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:21.720
with what you want to do. I will just say
215
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:23.759
this and that and that and that, but I just
216
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.840
say this. I was gonna say's a running dangerfield in
217
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.600
the eighties. Jerry Seinfeld, Jaylen.
218
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:31.279
Did you see the package? Was he in a robe?
219
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:36.679
Let me for this? Jay LENO. I got advice from
220
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:38.840
Rita Rudnue gave me advice too. I got advice from
221
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:44.039
Bob Saget, Gilbert Gutfried. You were two a little bit
222
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.679
of respect for yourself. I mean, I would never treat
223
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.240
well Lucy kay is actually my age. I would never
224
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.039
treat not that I'm George Carlin, what would be. I
225
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:57.039
would never treat Larry Miller the way John Gotti is
226
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.000
treating us. I would never do that out of respect
227
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.799
for SEMPI, for people that were there before me. Maybe
228
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.000
we did it differently then. You don't know you were
229
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:10.600
two guys at forty four to forty six. We're two,
230
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.200
so I don't need advice from you. And now now
231
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:18.799
you're coming for us, go ahead, knock yourself up. You're
232
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:20.840
gonna you're gonna shoot yourself on the head after two
233
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:22.279
years of working in the get.
234
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.440
Well, we're gonna. I think we'll just keep on deal
235
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.559
what we do and we will find a new audience
236
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.039
and expand an audience and.
237
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.399
Keeping our same audience because our audience doesn't pay twenty
238
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:31.919
five hundred.
239
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:35.480
No, but you see, we don't have to charge twenty
240
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.240
five hundred because we don't travel, don't we don't like
241
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:40.480
we're just here. We're already here in the city. We
242
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.200
don't have to spend nieman en each on the shinkansen
243
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.360
to come down here and go back. That's the thing
244
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.600
that people don't understand the economics of comedy. You're not
245
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.159
gonna be making that much money because it's just the shinkansen,
246
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:54.399
the bullet train come down. I guess if you take
247
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.799
the bus. But the bus to Tokyo that's a long
248
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.279
that's a whole day, let's say five hours if you
249
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:00.000
want to take the bus.
250
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.240
Well, there's a point we reached it as well. There's
251
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.080
a point where it's like, hey, we're doing comedy, let's
252
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:06.159
do different cities. Let's do a tour, because yeah, it
253
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.039
sounds cool to say you do a tour. We were
254
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.519
doing Okazaki and we're doing you know, doing Gifu, and
255
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:12.559
it's like we're kind of on a tour, right, we've
256
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.639
made it. And there's a point, like the Stages of
257
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.440
Drinking by Larry Miller, there's a point where you go,
258
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.320
you know, Kazaki and Nagoya, why don't we just do
259
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.559
it in Gooya? It's just a pain. And to go
260
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.120
to other cities. We love Okazaki, we love Okazaki, but
261
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:29.279
it's just a pain to travel.
262
00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:31.960
Remember we used to go to Gifu. Yeah, it's so
263
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.559
many adventures up there. But that's not not far.
264
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:36.480
I think you reach a point. They reached a point
265
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:38.759
where they're like, let's tour and and and Steve and I.
266
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.679
We're touring Fukuoka. Yeah we didn't do that again.
267
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:42.720
That was weird.
268
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:44.960
It's like you got a little kid. And when I
269
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.320
was a kid and my parents were old school boomers.
270
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.720
So you had a lamp at my grandpa's house with
271
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:55.360
no light bulb in it, and it's hooked into the hall,
272
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.399
and can I put having like four or five? Can
273
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.399
I put my finger in here? I goes, well you can,
274
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.039
technically's technically He goes, why would you want to do that?
275
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:09.360
But I want to see what it's like. And he goes,
276
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:14.440
you're only gonna do it one. But he was right.
277
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:16.879
I never did it again. Wow, you're going to tour
278
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.440
and then you're gonna realize, man, this is like a
279
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:23.679
waste of time. Yeah, and we're not making much money. Yeah,
280
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:26.519
you won't do it for long? Go ahead, it's right
281
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:33.000
down there, Sean JG. But no, I worked for eleven years.
282
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.639
You want eleven years to wrestle this from aple cash
283
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.159
who didn't pay us? I know, just for the radical
284
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:40.840
idea that we write new stuff and we pay when
285
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:44.399
I get paid. This guy doesn't pay what he gets paid.
286
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:45.679
He gets more.
287
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:47.559
But who knows. We'll just keep doing what we're doing
288
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:49.919
and they'll do what they do, and that's that's that.
289
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:51.480
But they're nice to me when I go up there.
290
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:52.960
I think I could go up there again and they'll
291
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:54.600
still be nice to me. I think there's like three
292
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.320
minute open mic stuff and they're like, you could do
293
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:59.240
six to eight. It was just courtesy, yeah, for you know,
294
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:00.200
because we're I.
295
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.679
Just think we need a little bit more diversity in
296
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:06.000
the comedy thing seen in general, I think we need
297
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:08.600
more diversity in the comedy scene, like different different groups
298
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:11.919
in different cities doing different stuff. Like Kansai Comedy. I
299
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:13.399
went down there and did a show with them. They're
300
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.039
really good. They're nice people, and they're also kind of
301
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:19.639
outsiders because the old time guys, the Osaka comedy people
302
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.039
been doing that for years, so they're kind of upstarts.
303
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:25.879
Well, the thing is with Nagoya, it's a very finite audience. Yeah,
304
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:29.919
it's very rare. Mark Bailey Mike Miller on Talk Funny
