Joe Rogan Experience #692 - Jay Leno

things, so for me, listening to good comedy I can listen to it over and over again yes, no, I agree. I love hearing the way certain people express things and, like you were saying, about how you went on stage after hearing and reciting Carlin in your head, how it helped you, you liked that rhythm and cadence. I know Thompson used to do that, he used to write The Great Gatsby, he used to write it like just copying The Great Gatsby to learn the rhythm of the words, yeah, I think a lot of us have

experience

d going on stage and something like that. feeling like you're doing someone else's cadence and rhythm.

I also surprised myself once on stage in the comedy connection and felt like I was in the middle of doing Richard Jeni. It was like I was being Richard Jeni while he was on stage. I was like Oh, like I was stealing this guy, he was one of the great ones that people don't talk about, he was one of those guys that kids today maybe don't realize how cool that guy was. he really was, yes, he was one of the best at taking a little bit and spreading it. I love the part about gay marriage. You know, this was before gay marriage was illegal, obviously, and I used to talk a little bit about how wonderful it was for gay men.

Bob, I would love to marry you, but it's against the law. He used to make me laugh a lot. Look, Steve. I would love to, but it's against the law. It was the perfect excuse not to get married. It is against the law. And he would accept. a little bit and stretch it out for seven ten minutes, I mean, I would find every nook and cranny that any guy could be, but it's not unsafe but it's a lot of fun, I was worried, yeah, I was worried, like Manny, but very disciplined, yeah, constantly . constantly working writing new Messiah guys like that, that same discipline really writes and invents new things and you can see the difference: you can see the jokes every six to nine seconds, verses every 30 seconds or some kind, hello everyone, good mood, what? as?

Y'all, yeah, get to the joke, right, right, yeah, that's that old school attitude that people don't have much attention, they just don't have much time for this, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Seinfeld is one of the few guys who rival you as our collector: I'm not quite, he's a Porsche guy, he's just a Portuguese expert, he has a German Mercedes now, but he's a real expert, he knows what he's doing, yeah, those comedians in cars drinking coffee are a very interesting store it's a great show it's very funny you know everyone tells you you can do it Gary is a perfect example of the Seinfeld show about nothing now no one is going to watch that and the greatest show of all time when he had this idea I was just driving around he just talked about every desire, no, no, first you have to have it all laid out, no, no, and he showed that it wasn't necessary.

Well, that's what's happening with the Internet, is that you don't understand the idea that these producers and executives and directors have always had to run networks that this is the only way to entertain, they're wrong, it's just another way to do it, but you see, it will come full circle again and people will say: I'm sick of this free-form stuff. I want something a little more, you know, just say, it's just the At the age you live, most people do this program and they last about an hour, maybe an hour and 20, before they have to pee.

Yes, it looks like you are there. How long do you want it to be? Oh, we could. Finish it right now if you want. I have a meeting at 1:00, but let's finish, then okay, we'll finish.
