[0:14] Jesse McAnally: Hello, I'm Jesse McAnally.

[0:16] Alan Seales: Hello, I'm Alan Seales.

[0:17] Liz Eston: And I'm Liz Eston.

[0:18] Jesse McAnally: And welcome to Carrey's'd Away, a podcast where we explore the films and television shows starring the one and only James Eugene Carrey's today.

[0:26] Jesse McAnally: I just picture like someone is dialing up the Jesse energy.

[0:33] Alan Seales: Alrighty, then we gotta get out there and entertain an entire crowd of people today.

[0:38] Jesse McAnally: That's the energy we're bringing in.

[0:40] Alan Seales: Oh, I'm sorry.

[0:42] Jesse McAnally: Anybody, I'm Canadian.

[0:44] Alan Seales: That's right.

[0:45] Jesse McAnally: Well, we are not recording this episode in Canada.

[0:49] Jesse McAnally: But the special we're about to talk about is, was, was.

[0:49] Alan Seales: Was, was.

[0:54] Jesse McAnally: Um, so four short years before I was born, Jim Carrey hopped on a stage and did a bunch of goofy stuff in his first televised comedy special called Jim Carrey, Unnatural Act.

[1:10] Alan Seales: Here comes Jim!

[1:12] Jesse McAnally: Just well!

[1:14] Alan Seales: You can't tell!

[1:15] Jesse McAnally: It does it for the money!

[1:17] Alan Seales: Here comes Jim!

[1:19] Jesse McAnally: All that ram.

[1:20] Alan Seales: Put your hands together and well the Well, good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

[1:31] Jim Carrey's: My name is Jim Carrey, and how are you this evening?

[1:33] Jim Carrey's: Alrighty then.

[1:36] Jesse McAnally: And he throws in a couple alrighty thens and some fire marshal bills and some things.

[1:41] Jesse McAnally: And a few racism.

[1:45] Jesse McAnally: And Savera just for fun.

[1:48] Jesse McAnally: I wonder how much of it was actually improvised when jokes just didn't land.

[1:52] Jesse McAnally: And then he would just like double down with an outrageous gesture to make it work.

[1:57] Jesse McAnally: Anyway, I'm screwing up your whole intro.

[1:59] Alan Seales: Go ahead.

[1:59] Jesse McAnally: Let me know.

[1:59] Jesse McAnally: Either way, I'm gonna turn down the Alan.

[2:01] Alan Seales: Let's turn up the Jesse.

[2:03] Jesse McAnally: Alright.

[2:04] Jesse McAnally: This premiered in November of 1991 on HBO's written by Jim Carrey, directed by Michael French, and produced by the one and only Judd Apatow, who would go on to have a long career of his own, including producing another one of Jim Carrey's most, I would say, largest speed bumps in his career that I love and Alan hates, The Cable Guy.

[2:25] Jesse McAnally: The plot of this stand-up special is Jim explores multiple aspects of life, including religion, marriage, and his own sanity in this half-hour special.

[2:34] Alan Seales: Um, alright, let's dive into this.

[2:36] Alan Seales: It's a fine special, but it's the first time, really, where it's all Jim Carrey, and it's not like he's being delegated by anyone else.

[2:36] Alan Seales: It's not like he's being written for.

[2:47] Alan Seales: This is all him.

[2:48] Alan Seales: So, like, we can't be like, well, Jim wasn't given material or well.

[2:52] Alan Seales: This is it's him.

[2:54] Alan Seales: He wrote it.

[2:54] Alan Seales: It's all his.

[2:55] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, and and this is the one of the few times I can't actually remember another time when I saw him do straight stand-up.

[3:02] Jesse McAnally: Just him and a mic.

[3:03] Alan Seales: Um, I do.

[3:04] Alan Seales: It was in the Clint Eastwood movie Pink Cadillac in the background of a scene.

[3:09] Jesse McAnally: There we go.

[3:10] Jesse McAnally: I can't include a clip of that because he doesn't even talk.

[3:13] Alan Seales: The best part about that clip is just Bruna Peters and Clint talking about how annoying he is without hearing him.

[3:19] Jesse McAnally: The podcast just like, oh, that was his appearance cool.

[3:23] Jesse McAnally: Let's just stop right here.

[3:24] Jesse McAnally: If Jim Carrey had gotten hit by a bus at this point, it would still be a fascinating career he had.

[3:31] Alan Seales: Absolutely.

[3:31] Alan Seales: He did softcore porn into sketch comedy and then like tried to.

[3:37] Alan Seales: Clint Eastwood films, like multiple Clint Eastwood films.

[3:40] Alan Seales: And and a serious, like The Duck Factory.

[3:42] Jesse McAnally: I still look back with fond memories of The Duck Factory.

[3:45] Jesse McAnally: That is honestly, if we were to stop right here, that would probably be my number one for like everything he's done.

[3:50] Alan Seales: Absolutely, I agree.

[3:52] Alan Seales: I agree.

[3:52] Jesse McAnally: So, stand-up comedians, Alan, what's what what is your favorite stand-up comedian?

[3:57] Alan Seales: Like, just for judgment of taste.

[3:59] Alan Seales: Okay, I was actually thinking about this, and uh recently I I love comedians who tell stories and make fun of the absurd in an exaggerated way.

[4:11] Alan Seales: And and recently John Mulaney again for me is coming back to the front of my list.

[4:17] Alan Seales: You know, all personal sort of like things aside relationship in making baby wise.

[4:22] Alan Seales: I think he's a really good writer and a really good comedian.

[4:25] Jesse McAnally: What a strange movie to sell to be a family movie.

[4:28] Jesse McAnally: Two guys had to go in and do that.

[4:30] Jesse McAnally: They had to be like, okay, we got an idea for the next big family action comedy.

[4:37] Jesse McAnally: Alright, it's about a guy named Marty, and he's very lazy.

[4:42] Jesse McAnally: He's always sleeping late.

[4:44] Alan Seales: Okay, is he is he cool like Ferris Bueller?

[4:48] Jesse McAnally: No.

[4:50] Jesse McAnally: But he does have this best friend who's, you know, a disgraced nuclear physicist.

[5:02] Alan Seales: I'm confused here.

[5:03] Alan Seales: This best friend, this is another student, or oh no, no, no, no, no.

[5:07] Alan Seales: No, this guy's either like 40 or 80.

[5:10] Alan Seales: Like we even we don't know how this guy's supposed to be.

[5:15] Jesse McAnally: Um, I agree.

[5:16] Jesse McAnally: Um, I get what you're saying, and I see the appeal of it.

[5:19] Jesse McAnally: Um, the story-based comedians aren't always my favorite, because I just think of someone like Christopher Titus who leans on that a little too much, where it's uh long monologues of talking and jibber jabbering, um, and then eventually you get to a punchline.

[5:34] Alan Seales: See, I believe life is about balance.

[5:36] Alan Seales: My mom brilliant, but manipulative.

[5:39] Alan Seales: Beautiful, but more voices in her head than the Wu-Tang Clan.

[5:44] Alan Seales: Loves her kids, killed her last husband.

[5:48] Alan Seales: I say last husband because you don't get another one after that.

[5:53] Alan Seales: Yeah.

[5:54] Alan Seales: They take you out of the husband wish book at that point.

[5:58] Alan Seales: Because it's a hard personal ad to get answered.

[6:00] Alan Seales: One a loving, caring man who can take a bullet.

[6:04] Jesse McAnally: The easy answers are like a George Carlin or It just seems to me, seems to me, that only a really low IQ population could have taken this beautiful continent, this magnificent American landscape that we inherited.

[6:21] Alan Seales: Well, actually, we stole it from the Mexicans and the Indians, but hey, it was nice when we stole it.

[6:28] Alan Seales: It looked pretty good.

[6:29] Alan Seales: It was pristine.

[6:31] Alan Seales: Paradise.

[6:32] Alan Seales: Have you seen it lately?

[6:34] Alan Seales: Have you taken a good look at it lately?

[6:36] Alan Seales: It's fucking embarrassing.

[6:37] Jesse McAnally: See, a lot of the best comedians that were quote unquote the geniuses of my younger age are people that can't really work anymore.

[6:46] Alan Seales: Like Neil Brennan to me is is also very, very, very good.

[6:49] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, I love anything that you liked about the Chappelle Show was probably Neil Brennan.

[6:54] Alan Seales: Uh actually out there.

[6:56] Alan Seales: Remember when Sunblock began?

[7:01] Alan Seales: Young people, there was no sunblock.

[7:04] Alan Seales: There was Suntan Oil, and then the next week they were like, hey, that was lube for cancer.

[7:13] Alan Seales: Block your whole thing.

[7:15] Alan Seales: White people were getting scorched, is my point.

[7:18] Alan Seales: We were getting scorched.

[7:19] Alan Seales: As a white person, you'd go outside, you knew it was time to go back in when you were like, Do you smell meat?

[7:23] Jesse McAnally: It was you.

[7:25] Alan Seales: And you know who doesn't care?

[7:27] Alan Seales: My black friends.

[7:28] Jesse McAnally: Right, right, right.

[7:29] Alan Seales: Because he used to write.

[7:30] Alan Seales: Yeah, he was he was a long time writer.

[7:32] Alan Seales: He was like the main guy for Chappelle Show.

[7:34] Jesse McAnally: Um, Liz, what about you?

[7:35] Jesse McAnally: I know you have a female take, and I'm excited because I'm pretty sure I know what you're answering.

[7:38] Liz Eston: We literally talked about this last night.

[7:40] Liz Eston: Uh, literally.

[7:41] Liz Eston: Um, yeah, I John Mulaney, I was big on John Mulaney like in college.

[7:47] Liz Eston: Um, so much I literally animated his stand-up as a final to one of my classes.

[7:52] Liz Eston: It's not a joke.

[7:53] Liz Eston: I animated the section about uh classic Liz.

[7:56] Liz Eston: Really old New In Town.

[7:57] Liz Eston: No, no, it wasn't that.

[7:58] Liz Eston: It was the old murder segment from New In Town, where it's like, just clean up the blood.

[8:02] Liz Eston: Who needs this?

[8:04] Liz Eston: What was a murder investigation like in 1935?

[8:08] Liz Eston: One cop would just walk in and be like, Detective, we found a pool of the killer's blood in that hallway.

[8:13] Liz Eston: And he would just be like, mmm, gross.

[8:17] Liz Eston: Mop it up.

[8:20] Liz Eston: Now then, back to my hunch.

[8:23] Liz Eston: But I was really high, I really Gemini was my go-to for a while.

[8:27] Liz Eston: And I kind of like spread around, but lately I've been watching on a Taylor Tomlinson stand-up on Netflix, and it's so good.

[8:34] Liz Eston: It's very much from a female perspective, and it's a lot about mental health and depression and just sex and like shit like that.

[8:41] Liz Eston: And it's from a perspective that I actually I can connect with more than say, like a guy ranting about how ladies are bad and you can't hook up with them, which is many comedians.

[8:52] Liz Eston: Have you guys introduced people you were dating to your parents?

[8:55] Alan Seales: It's not about introducing people you love to one another, is it?

[8:58] Liz Eston: No.

[8:59] Liz Eston: It's about showing your partner why you're mean to them sometimes.

[9:06] Liz Eston: It's about taking your sexual partner back to the scene of the crime.

[9:11] Liz Eston: To say, see, the stories are true.

[9:15] Liz Eston: Because you don't want your partner to like your parents.

[9:18] Liz Eston: You want them to walk out of that night going, oh my god.

[9:23] Liz Eston: Your parents are just.

[9:25] Jesse McAnally: I know.

[9:26] Liz Eston: I know.

[9:27] Liz Eston: I mean, seriously, babe, how did you ever?

[9:30] Liz Eston: I don't know.

[9:31] Liz Eston: I don't know.

[9:32] Liz Eston: Kinda seems like maybe people should cut me some slack when I'm being a bitch, though.

[9:40] Liz Eston: Including Jim Carrey!

[9:41] Jesse McAnally: Jim Carrey's, which is why I checked out pretty early on in this one.

[9:46] Liz Eston: My favorite quote unquote joke from the special is when he says, I hate it when women move during orgasms.

[9:54] Liz Eston: I have a brick under my pillow to beat them with for the ones that decide to do that.

[9:59] Jesse McAnally: Which I don't even know what a joke like what what is why can't they move?

[10:03] Liz Eston: Yeah, what I don't even want to, I don't know.

[10:07] Liz Eston: The kids need braces.

[10:09] Liz Eston: What am I gonna do?

[10:11] Jesse McAnally: And you're right back into the pain of life, you know?

[10:13] Jesse McAnally: But for 30 seconds, man, you're free.

[10:16] Jesse McAnally: All you can think about is what the hell am I gonna grab on to?

[10:20] Jesse McAnally: And gee, I hope the person I'm with doesn't do anything stupid like move.

[10:27] Liz Eston: You ever been with somebody who wanted to just keep on moving?

[10:30] Jesse McAnally: I used to keep a brick under my pillow for people like that.

[10:34] Jesse McAnally: It's over, let it go!

[10:45] Alan Seales: We won't go out with her again.

[10:48] Alan Seales: Yeah, there were a couple uh a couple things.

[10:51] Alan Seales: Let's see, right let's see, within the first before four minutes in, we have we're doing racial jokes against Eskimos.

[10:58] Liz Eston: Yeah.

[10:58] Alan Seales: We have a Gandhi impression uh very early on.

[11:02] Alan Seales: Pretty bad Gandhi impression, inappropriate.

[11:04] Alan Seales: I will say those become standard up until like The Love Guru in 2008.

[11:10] Jesse McAnally: So now I have to cut a clip with The Love Guru in the snout.

[11:14] Alan Seales: But do you know what The Love Guru's like I don't know why I've watched this recently, but they have a uh uh a uh watch cry, a statement that they make, and every time it's like Mariska Hargitay.

[11:25] Jesse McAnally: Yes, I remember it's burned in my skull.

[11:28] Alan Seales: Um and they you think that would be something where at the end they build up to Mariska Hargitay showing up, but no, she shows up like 10 minutes in and kills the That movie is so incompetent.

[11:38] Jesse McAnally: It's too lazy for lazy is the best one.

[11:40] Alan Seales: The peak of that movie is that John Oliver is named Dick Pants.

[11:43] Jesse McAnally: Some people call me Murray.

[11:47] Alan Seales: Because I speak of the bumper death of love.

[11:52] Alan Seales: Because I'm a bigger, I'm a grimman, I'm a lover, and I'm a sinner.

[12:01] Jesse McAnally: The peak of that movie is the fact that it was so bad that it made John Oliver and Stephen Colbert say, I don't think I'm gonna make movies.

[12:08] Alan Seales: Both of them collectively said that.

[12:11] Alan Seales: Well, also, apparently this is a story I learned from a YouTube video uh that evasive made about Razzie winner, Razzy best worst picture winners.

[12:19] Alan Seales: Apparently, Jordan Peele was offered the role of poop in the Emoji Movie, and he was like, Oh, fuck this.

[12:24] Alan Seales: I'm not acting anymore.

[12:26] Alan Seales: And then he made Get Out.

[12:27] Jesse McAnally: Thank God for that.

[12:28] Alan Seales: So the Emoji Movie is an epic.

[12:30] Jesse McAnally: The Emoji Movie made Get Out happen because his agent was like, hey, do you want to play a piece of poop?

[12:35] Alan Seales: Like, no.

[12:36] Alan Seales: Like, culture.

[12:37] Alan Seales: No, I'm just gonna make one of the best horror movies ever made.

[12:40] Jesse McAnally: And and then Oh, Get Out was great, but Patrick Stewart can do no wrong.

[12:44] Alan Seales: I don't care what he's in.

[12:44] Alan Seales: He could he could read the dictionary.

[12:46] Alan Seales: Him and Morgan Freeman can read me the dictionary every day.

[12:49] Jesse McAnally: Have you seen the Emoji Movie, Alan?

[12:50] Alan Seales: Um, I no comment.

[12:51] Jesse McAnally: Well, now you have to play.

[12:56] Alan Seales: Yeah, I'm gonna work on the phone, and I'm only ten.

[12:59] Jesse McAnally: That's because I believe in you.

[13:02] Alan Seales: Should we wash our hands?

[13:07] Jesse McAnally: No, no, no.

[13:08] Alan Seales: We're number two.

[13:09] Alan Seales: And you know who else is probably my favorite stand-up?

[13:11] Alan Seales: Grace Aki.

[13:15] Liz Eston: Does Grace listen to this podcast?

[13:17] Alan Seales: Probably not.

[13:18] Liz Eston: Probably not.

[13:19] Alan Seales: But I'm being so sincere.

[13:20] Alan Seales: I think she actually is like one of the best like one-woman performers I've ever seen.

[13:24] Liz Eston: Oh, it's a couple.

[13:26] Liz Eston: I've seen her do her one-woman show, but I've never seen her do comedy.

[13:30] Alan Seales: She's very, very funny.

[13:31] Liz Eston: Unlike Jim Carrey.

[13:33] Alan Seales: No, Jim Carrey is fine.

[13:34] Liz Eston: Yeah.

[13:35] Alan Seales: He's fine.

[13:35] Alan Seales: His fans go there to get like when you go see Jim, you know what you're getting.

[13:39] Alan Seales: You're getting rubber fish.

[13:40] Liz Eston: But did he have fans then?

[13:42] Alan Seales: Like you'd have like In Living Color, right?

[13:46] Liz Eston: It's like Middle of In Living Color.

[13:49] Alan Seales: It's like who is really going out to a comedy show just to see Vil Melissa Villaseñor?

[13:56] Jesse McAnally: I love Melissa Villa Senior, but I while doing SNL, like I don't think she was like the big person.

[14:03] Alan Seales: Like, even right now, I don't think a lot of people would go to see Colin Jost while he's on SNL.

[14:08] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, I mean, but weekend updates always consistently the funniest sketch.

[14:12] Alan Seales: That's for sure.

[14:12] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, that's always been the case.

[14:14] Alan Seales: Right.

[14:14] Jesse McAnally: That's not that's not a Colin Jost thing. That's like a structure of how that works.

[14:20] Alan Seales: It was announced that Creed singer Scott Stapp will play Frank Sinatra in an upcoming movie.

[14:27] Jesse McAnally: But the good news is Sammy Davis Jr. will be played by Scarlet Japan.

[14:35] Alan Seales: Well, he's writing.

[14:36] Jesse McAnally: Yeah.

[14:37] Alan Seales: His anyway, I enjoyed him in whatever movie he was in, where he was trying to get Tom and Jerry.

[14:43] Jesse McAnally: That's what it was. The Tom and Jerry. We're bringing up some classic stuff. This is gonna be a weird episode.

[14:49] Alan Seales: For Maya.

[14:50] Jesse McAnally: I like him in Tom and Jerry. Also, for context, this was this aired during In Living Color season three, in the middle of it.

[15:00] Alan Seales: Right, okay.

[15:01] Jesse McAnally: Midway is run. So he had just so season two is when they started Fire Marshal Bill.

[15:07] Alan Seales: So he so that's what I think he kind of exploded over in In Living Color too.

[15:12] Jesse McAnally: I would say it's a fizzle more than an explosion.

[15:15] Alan Seales: Yeah.

[15:16] Jesse McAnally: Okay, okay, agree. Because the Wayne's brothers are really the main event in Living Color, and everything light does not omit from them in the same way.

[15:24] Alan Seales: Like everything, it becomes like that they are the center of that show, and they should be, because they are kind of like the humorous brainchild.

[15:32] Jesse McAnally: And while other people have moments, it doesn't really no one really shines as in comparison.

[15:38] Alan Seales: That's what I meant.

[15:39] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, like this it Fire Marshal Bill, to me, was where I recognize I started remembering Jim Carrey's name as an individual instead of that guy from the show.

[15:48] Alan Seales: Yeah.

[15:48] Jesse McAnally: Um James Carey in your case, because he was going by James at the time.

[15:52] Alan Seales: But this Unnatural Act, he does call himself Jim.

[15:54] Jesse McAnally: It's very so confusing.

[15:56] Alan Seales: This is the middle of him being created as James Carey in a major television. Maybe is it a Canadian US thing? Because this was recorded in Canada, so he's Jim, but in America, he was James for a while.

[16:06] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, different unions, different hey, thumbs up.

[16:10] Alan Seales: I know. So what is our favorite bits or jokes from this?

[16:14] Jesse McAnally: Um, I'll go first because I have mine at the tip. So I watched this years and years ago, and the only thing that I maintained from it was the opening song with Singing Letters Jim singing, Here comes Jim. He's so grand. You can tell he doesn't follow the money, and I love it! I love it.

[16:33] Alan Seales: I think mo doesn't he just call them the gym dancers.

[16:36] Jesse McAnally: He calls them the gym dancers, yes.

[16:38] Alan Seales: Yeah, like yes. Give it up for the gym dancers.

[16:41] Jesse McAnally: And he does like five different applause breaks, like, yeah, the gym dancers. Hey, yeah. One more time for the I love it.

[16:51] Alan Seales: Um, I don't know if you remember like mid-20th century, late 20th century comedy specials. Often there would be at least a 10, 15-minute boring as shit sketch to start off, and you just kind of want them to get to the show.

[17:06] Jesse McAnally: Like George Carlin, I forget which one it was. It was probably like, what the fuck am I doing in New Jersey? The most horrendous 10-minute sketch to start it, where I'm just like, I just want you to get to the fucking stand-up.

[17:18] Alan Seales: So just having like a three-second song, it's wonderful.

[17:22] Jesse McAnally: Why are you gonna go to New Jersey?

[17:24] Alan Seales: I gotta do a show.

[17:25] Jesse McAnally: What kind of show?

[17:26] Alan Seales: I'm a comedian.

[17:33] Jesse McAnally: 42nd Street, man. You know why they call it 42nd Street?

[17:37] Alan Seales: What?

[17:37] Jesse McAnally: Because that's about all the amount of time you want to spend on it. 40 seconds.

[17:41] Alan Seales: Uh, but I kind of like the signs.

[17:45] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, they look great.

[17:46] Alan Seales: Yeah, it's a Seinfeld thing. I mean, I definitely don't remember mid-20th century stand-up, that's for sure.

[17:51] Jesse McAnally: But late 20th century, yeah, I got that.

[17:53] Alan Seales: You weren't a big Buddy Hackett fan?

[17:54] Jesse McAnally: No.

[17:55] Alan Seales: No, I wasn't alive in mid-20th century. Sorry, brah.

[17:58] Jesse McAnally: Oh, so it's what am I doing in New Jersey? You inserted the fuck in there yourself.

[18:01] Alan Seales: So well, it's uh I was imagining myself being him, and he would probably be like, What the fuck am I doing in New Jersey? Hey!

[18:10] Jesse McAnally: God isn't real. And that's a whole George Collins special right there.

[18:14] Alan Seales: There is no God if there's Newark, New Jersey.

[18:18] Jesse McAnally: Um, what about you, Alan? What is your favorite bit from the show?

[18:21] Alan Seales: Um, I forget what he was trying to talk about. I'm literally when I was saying, like, when he double down doubles down on something to make it funnier, that he keeps doing commentary about what he assumes the audience is thinking about him. If that does that make sense, like he'll he'll say, uh he'll pretend to be an audience member and say, uh, I thought he was I was coming here to watch him do funny things, and then he'll just be like, you know, just off the wall kind of shit that people laugh at because they know him as the rubber man, and I kind of enjoyed that because that's what he's known for.

[18:59] Jesse McAnally: But then by the end, it's I ended up being like, again? Like, what's the original point here? Madness is never that far away. It's as close as saying yes to the wrong impulse. The people who stay sane are the people who can make those quick decisions. Should I stick my fingers into the fan? Or leave the room right now? Should I run the blade of this razor across my tongue? Or just finish shaving and move away from the sink? Come on, you're right there.

[19:31] Alan Seales: But you don't, because luckily, most of us have that little voice inside our head that says, uh-uh. Turning the car into oncoming traffic is counterproductive.

[19:44] Jesse McAnally: Where's something original? I mean, I guess, and he does attempt to do like observational comedy. Like, when your grandparents are eating a cheese sandwich, is that what hell feels like? And I'm like, is that is that a thing that happens?

[19:58] Alan Seales: Yeah.

[19:59] Jesse McAnally: Like, wait, wait. I did like the bit where his where his mom can always smell something burning, which would be like all she did in hell. Like, is something burning? And it ended up being my dad. And then he did the whole thing about his dad falling asleep with a cigarette and lighting himself on fire every time. I thought that was a good thing.

[20:13] Alan Seales: See, I feel like those tend to be a little bit more natural comedian fair. Because he's not using any of the big boy languages. He's not dropping an F-word every five seconds. That's never really been his kind of humor either. There's no poopity poop poop and pee-pee jokes.

[20:33] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, there's none of that going on here. It's just much more. It's much more look at me do something wacky with my body and face and occasionally an observational thing. But I just want to scream at him like your experiences aren't relatable.

[20:48] Alan Seales: Yeah, that is true. He I think this is the only time I've ever heard him talk about his parents, though. I don't know if it's real. Maybe may be completely made up. But I that's what that's what stuck sticks out to me, part of what sticks out to me because I'm like, oh, that's something brand new I've never heard him talk about.

[21:03] Jesse McAnally: Because it was it was a story. There was a lot of good story stuff and stuff like that felt personal and honest and true to like his experiences, which is neat. Um have I explained his history, his childhood at all to you guys at all? Have I mansplained that to you?

[21:19] Alan Seales: No, mansplain it to me.

[21:22] Jesse McAnally: Where he grew up very poor, like exceptionally poor, working alongside going to school and occasionally living in homeless shelters and out of his dad's car levels of the biggest.

[21:32] Alan Seales: Did not know that.

[21:33] Jesse McAnally: No. Um he they were not a financially stable thing, so being a in the comedy scene was just kind of a way to entertain himself and keep his family occupied and bring money into the house. And that kind of lines up with a lot of like the way he connects with his family, which is like poverty and sadness and being the one to make the jokes and all that.

[21:59] Alan Seales: Um it makes me wonder about how his current viewpoint in the universe is. I know he we sadly are not graced with his Twitter account anymore, but he had a lot of left-leaning socialist leaning views on the world, which I think comes from his connection to his poverty roots.

[22:20] Jesse McAnally: That would make sense.

[22:21] Alan Seales: That would make a lot of sense. I mean, a lot of comedians, most comedians I know are uh they're very they've had a lot of trauma to overcome, a lot of difficulty, and so that's what they turned to to cope with it. And then we're not even talking about like the substance abuse things that will come later in his career.

[22:34] Jesse McAnally: He also made an NFT, so that's the worst mistake ever.

[22:39] Alan Seales: A lot of a lot of stupid people.

[22:41] Jesse McAnally: I bet he invested in Bitcoin too.

[22:43] Alan Seales: Need didn't. He has made an NFT because he does artwork, so he just made it an NFT.

[22:47] Jesse McAnally: I draw weird, creepy art.

[22:48] Alan Seales: Yeah. Um, Liz, what about you? What is your favorite skit from this entire special?

[22:54] Liz Eston: Honest answer. This went through one air and out the other. I didn't absorb shit in this. It's so unfocused that I couldn't grasp anything to pay attention.

[23:03] Jesse McAnally: So I was like.

[23:04] Liz Eston: You're right. It doesn't have much of a structure.

[23:06] Jesse McAnally: There's no structure whatsoever.

[23:08] Liz Eston: It's just him going off. Unless you're a giant Jim Carrey fan, then you kind of check out. But if I had to pick something that wasn't the gym dancers, which is probably the best part. I also go with the Jimmy Stewart bit where he's like, Jimmy Stewart finds positivity in everything.

[23:23] Jesse McAnally: And then he does a pretty good Jimmy Stewart impression, like, oh no, the nuclear apocalypse is coming.

[23:28] Liz Eston: That's great.

[23:30] Jesse McAnally: I can't wait.

[23:32] Liz Eston: Yeah. Jimmy Stewart is the kind of guy that I'd love to be. It's very difficult to be that, though.

[23:38] Jesse McAnally: You know?

[23:39] Liz Eston: I mean, he's just kind of up here somewhere. And I just want I love him, man. It's he's a great example of somebody who's had an incredibly productive life. Seems like no matter what happens, no matter how bad things get, Jimmy Stewart can look at it in a positive way.

[23:58] Jesse McAnally: Well, I guess we're gonna have ourselves a nuclear holocaust. Well, hey everybody, come on over to the window. Look at that mushroom cloud. Isn't that beautiful?

[24:20] Liz Eston: The amazing thing to me is that the something's so magnificent. Colorful could just melt your face right off. So pretty one year. Look at it. They's all so beautiful. What it burns your face off.

[24:37] Jesse McAnally: I can't do it, Jimmy Stewart, so I'm not joining this. Jimmy Stewart impressions are timeless, so timeless that even the most recent Puss and Boots movie does an entire bit where someone does a Jimmy Stewart impression the entire time.

[24:49] Alan Seales: And you know what? The joke lands every time. Bring back Jimmy Stewart impressions because they're great.

[24:54] Jesse McAnally: Alright, let's just sing a song together and get along.

[24:57] Liz Eston: That'll pass the time.

[24:59] Jesse McAnally: Come on, on on on on on on what we built some sort of fire.

[25:07] Alan Seales: And bring back the next Puss and Boots movie because we're going to be able to do that.

[25:11] Liz Eston: I haven't seen the new one yet.

[25:13] Alan Seales: But like I haven't seen it yet. My kids and I still go, ooh.

[25:19] Jesse McAnally: I I've never been more impressed by a kid's movie in my life than Puss and Boots.

[25:22] Alan Seales: It is very good.

[25:23] Jesse McAnally: I thought it was gonna be dark shit.

[25:25] Alan Seales: I know. I watched it at Friends' house. I watched it at Fred's house because I was like, oh, there's nothing else on. I guess we'll watch it. And then all of us, adults and kids, were like, well, we gotta finish this. This is really funny.

[25:36] Jesse McAnally: And it's dark. Like the Grim Reaper is like a main character.

[25:40] Alan Seales: Yep, yep.

[25:41] Jesse McAnally: Alright. 10 out of 10 movie. If you're learning anything from this Jim Carrey podcast, go watch it. Watch Puss and Boots. Let's move on to our critical corner.

[25:50] Alan Seales: Yes, let's do it.

[25:52] Liz Eston: Uh all right, Liz. Explain it. What are we doing?

[25:54] Liz Eston: Alright, so before we begin our critical corner, I would like to read a very long letterbox review that I found that I want to honor because it makes absolutely no sense to me, and I must have someone else hear it. Also, it's very obvious that it's positive, so I did not include it. Uh, but okay, five stars. I just want to highlight this person's review because it makes no sense whatsoever. And I want to read it.

[26:15] Jesse McAnally: Okay.

[26:16] Liz Eston: I don't I didn't write Dead the Caesar name. I'm not doxing anyone. I'm in love with this man, and I would do anything for him. I don't think he has joints, and he should have peach it up in a drag queen. The way he moves is indicative of what happened during that sex scene in Ace Ventura. I am fascinated and enthralled by him. And I want to eat him for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And I need him w I need him wet and on his knees more. His death drops would win a winter season of RuPaul's Drag Race in no time. No time flat. He is incomprehensible and unknowable, and he's my best friend in this entire world, and I am so fucking down bad.

[26:55] Jesse McAnally: Um written. You found my review?

[26:57] Liz Eston: This is uh this is a this is a review for Jim Carrey's Unnatural Act, not any of his popular movies. Use the name Crinkle Kid Lover. Bravo, ladies, Bravo to this person.

[27:09] Alan Seales: Um also Jim Carrey. I love drag racing. That's why I attached this, but also Jim Carrey would not win drag race because he has no rage and he would lose the design challenges. So boom.

[27:20] Jesse McAnally: I think that is our next sketch comedy idea. Jim Carrey's on RuPaul's Drag Race.

[27:23] Alan Seales: He'd just do Vera Demonia.

[27:26] Jesse McAnally: He would just do it the whole time.

[27:27] Alan Seales: He would do a deep voice and have his little pigtails.

[27:29] Jesse McAnally: He never read a wake.

[27:30] Alan Seales: Yeah. That's true. Okay. Wow. Well, wait, so what was the question? You need to do that.

[27:33] Liz Eston: Okay, now I'm going to explain the actual premise of the show. The premise of this.

[27:36] Jesse McAnally: Oh no, you're just sharing.

[27:37] Alan Seales: Okay.

[27:38] Jesse McAnally: I just want to share that insane review that I found that made me really think about life.

[27:43] Jesse McAnally: So shout out to that Letterboxd user.

[27:45] Jesse McAnally: But anyway, the actual game here is I found reviews for Jim Carrey's Unnatural Act on Letterboxd.

[27:50] Jesse McAnally: Finally, or back at Letterboxd, if you've been listening to our In Living Color episodes.

[27:54] Alan Seales: So I've found one in five star reviews, and based on very limited context, these two have to guess if they're positive or negative.

[28:02] Jesse McAnally: And it's harder than it sounds.

[28:03] Alan Seales: So, oh, us two.

[28:04] Jesse McAnally: Who?

[28:05] Alan Seales: I'm not.

[28:05] Jesse McAnally: Oh, you two.

[28:06] Alan Seales: Alan and Jess.

[28:07] Jesse McAnally: These Jess I am.

[28:08] Alan Seales: These two other lovely gentlemen.

[28:10] Liz Eston: Seals.

[28:11] Jesse McAnally: Jess said Jess I am, Alan is gonna go first.

[28:14] Alan Seales: I'm winning.

[28:16] Jesse McAnally: Um, if you say Jess I am, you're going second.

[28:19] Alan Seales: Okay, I am I am ready, Elizabeth Eston.

[28:22] Liz Eston: Alright, Alan.

[28:23] Alan Seales: Okay, here we go.

[28:24] Jesse McAnally: Yes.

[28:25] Alan Seales: I am ready, Elizabeth.

[28:26] Liz Eston: I slightly exhaled through my nose watching this.

[28:32] Alan Seales: I'm just picturing somebody in a furry costume.

[28:35] Jesse McAnally: Going, hmm.

[28:37] Alan Seales: That's a one.

[28:38] Jesse McAnally: That is a five, actually.

[28:39] Alan Seales: No!

[28:40] Jesse McAnally: He didn't canker to the to the to the crinklers!

[28:44] Alan Seales: No, I thought we were starting with an easy little softball.

[28:47] Jesse McAnally: No, no, no, no. We're starting hard today.

[28:49] Alan Seales: Oh, good.

[28:50] Jesse McAnally: Oh, yes, we are.

[28:51] Alan Seales: Alright, Jess.

[28:52] Jesse McAnally: Yes.

[28:53] Alan Seales: I love Jim Carrey.

[28:54] Jesse McAnally: That's a one.

[28:55] Alan Seales: Correct.

[28:57] Jesse McAnally: Alright.

[28:57] Alan Seales: So I saw it in your eyes.

[28:59] Jesse McAnally: Alan, we have softballs in here.

[29:01] Alan Seales: So like if you're a little bit more.

[29:02] Jesse McAnally: I would have guessed a one coming off of that mirror of a thing that I just got wrong.

[29:06] Alan Seales: Okay, okay, go ahead.

[29:07] Jesse McAnally: Okay.

[29:08] Alan Seales: How's that feel to be a loser, Alan?

[29:10] Jesse McAnally: Hey, hey, Alan still win.

[29:12] Alan Seales: There's a lot more than there for the lemon color episodes.

[29:15] Jesse McAnally: So.

[29:17] Alan Seales: Alright.

[29:17] Jesse McAnally: Alan.

[29:18] Alan Seales: I think he is natural.

[29:20] Jesse McAnally: He seem he seem like the mascot of Microsoft.

[29:26] Alan Seales: Like a paper clip?

[29:28] Jesse McAnally: Uh no, no, that's Clippy. He's the mascot of Microsoft Word.

[29:31] Alan Seales: So the mascot of Microsoft is the like the four colors in a square.

[29:36] Jesse McAnally: Um, one star.

[29:40] Alan Seales: That was a five.

[29:42] Jesse McAnally: I thought Max out of Microsoft.

[29:46] Alan Seales: So nobody loved Alan.

[29:48] Jesse McAnally: Yes.

[29:50] Alan Seales: Silly man, silly funny man is silly and funny.

[29:53] Jesse McAnally: Five.

[29:54] Alan Seales: One.

[29:54] Jesse McAnally: Alright, Alan.

[29:55] Alan Seales: Okay. Jim Carrey's could punch me in the stomach, and I would stank him.

[29:59] Jesse McAnally: That's a five.

[30:00] Alan Seales: Yes.

[30:01] Jesse McAnally: Yeah.

[30:02] Alan Seales: On the board.

[30:03] Jesse McAnally: Jess.

[30:05] Alan Seales: Yes.

[30:05] Jesse McAnally: Had to watch this in two sittings because I just couldn't handle the energy handle the energy at all.

[30:11] Alan Seales: This man is a mitochondria.

[30:13] Jesse McAnally: That's a five, because that's a powerhouse of the cell.

[30:15] Alan Seales: That is actually right.

[30:17] Jesse McAnally: Oh shit.

[30:19] Alan Seales: Almost died.

[30:21] Jesse McAnally: He is a he is a membrane-bound cell organelle.

[30:23] Alan Seales: That's good.

[30:24] Jesse McAnally: You didn't know the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, Alan?

[30:26] Alan Seales: Didn't you go to school?

[30:27] Jesse McAnally: I did. I did. I did.

[30:29] Alan Seales: It was a few.

[30:29] Jesse McAnally: That's the only thing I absorbed from middle school biology.

[30:32] Alan Seales: But remember, I went to school when dinosaurs ran the earth, and I went to school so long ago.

[30:37] Jesse McAnally: Jesus Christ was my camcamsula.

[30:39] Alan Seales: It was fun.

[30:40] Jesse McAnally: We did awesome funny wine.

[30:43] Alan Seales: Well, he he turned my water bottle into a wine glass.

[30:47] Jesse McAnally: Turned my water bottle into gator angle.

[30:49] Alan Seales: He's the turn my water bottle into water.

[30:51] Jesse McAnally: He's like me.

[30:52] Alan Seales: Turned your wine into water.

[30:54] Jesse McAnally: He's like, no, you don't get it, Liz. You don't.

[30:56] Alan Seales: Turn my water into water if he used to make it wine.

[30:58] Jesse McAnally: What a jerk.

[30:59] Alan Seales: I'm I'm so sad.

[31:01] Jesse McAnally: Me too.

[31:02] Alan Seales: I'm so sad.

[31:03] Jesse McAnally: Actually, it's I'm so, so sad.

[31:05] Alan Seales: I'm so, so sad.

[31:07] Jesse McAnally: That's a one.

[31:08] Alan Seales: That's right.

[31:10] Jesse McAnally: Now, why would this make you so so sad?

[31:13] Alan Seales: Mediocrity?

[31:14] Jesse McAnally: Oh.

[31:14] Alan Seales: That was a good answer.

[31:15] Jesse McAnally: Alright, Jess.

[31:16] Alan Seales: No, mitochondria.

[31:17] Jesse McAnally: Oh, mediocritia.

[31:19] Alan Seales: Mediocochondria.

[31:20] Jesse McAnally: I'm just gonna put phenomenon under this just to add more confusion to the word play.

[31:25] Alan Seales: Phenomenon.

[31:25] Jesse McAnally: Bum bum banana.

[31:27] Alan Seales: Phenomenon.

[31:28] Jesse McAnally: Bum bum.

[31:29] Alan Seales: I was I was wearing to the Chapel Roan song, but that's probably a better joke.

[31:37] Jesse McAnally: Alright. Uh yeah, Jess.

[31:39] Alan Seales: Alan's seals of approval.

[31:41] Jesse McAnally: First silly person on earth.

[31:43] Alan Seales: The first one?

[31:44] Jesse McAnally: Apparently.

[31:44] Alan Seales: Uh excuse me?

[31:46] Jesse McAnally: Indeed.

[31:46] Alan Seales: Did they not meet Buddy Hackett?

[31:49] Jesse McAnally: I don't think this person knows who Buddy Hackett is.

[31:51] Alan Seales: Couldn't hack it.

[31:54] Jesse McAnally: Five.

[31:54] Alan Seales: One.

[31:55] Jesse McAnally: Damn.

[31:55] Alan Seales: They didn't hear Hackett.

[31:58] Jesse McAnally: Yeah.

[31:58] Alan Seales: Naked Beekeeper disease.

[32:01] Jesse McAnally: Naked beekeeper disease.

[32:03] Alan Seales: That is so vague, it's gotta be a five.

[32:05] Jesse McAnally: That is correct.

[32:06] Alan Seales: That's also a quote from the special, which means it's a five.

[32:08] Jesse McAnally: Yes, yes, yes.

[32:10] Alan Seales: I make these before I watch the actual thing, so I can include quotes by accident.

[32:14] Jesse McAnally: Jess, last one, you're tied.

[32:16] Alan Seales: I'm making a comeback.

[32:18] Jesse McAnally: Don't be nervous.

[32:19] Alan Seales: Just like Kim Kardashian.

[32:21] Jesse McAnally: Alright.

[32:21] Alan Seales: I've started my head.

[32:22] Jesse McAnally: I'm ready to include that clip in this podcast.

[32:23] Alan Seales: I can't even.

[32:24] Jesse McAnally: No, I'm doing it again.

[32:25] Alan Seales: Fuck it.

[32:26] Jesse McAnally: Everyone loves a good comeback story, right? Seabiscuit, the mighty ducks, Robert Downey Jr., uh who is it?

[32:33] Alan Seales: Rocky, yes.

[32:34] Jesse McAnally: Kim Kardashian.

[32:35] Alan Seales: Kim, well.

[32:36] Jesse McAnally: In the video she gets she gets come on her back, I think.

[32:43] Alan Seales: Interesting viewing, though, if you're a fan of the man.

[32:46] Jesse McAnally: That's a one.

[32:47] Alan Seales: Yes.

[32:47] Jesse McAnally: Jess is the winner.

[32:48] Alan Seales: We are the champion.

[32:51] Jesse McAnally: Arguably the winner, because we didn't actually remember the points.

[32:54] Alan Seales: So I'm gonna say that we tied.

[32:56] Jesse McAnally: Okay.

[32:56] Alan Seales: Okay.

[32:57] Jesse McAnally: Tell me!

[33:00] Alan Seales: Okay, you know you can both sing you or the champion or something.

[33:02] Jesse McAnally: I don't freaking know.

[33:03] Alan Seales: We both are the champions, my friend.

[33:07] Jesse McAnally: No, I was singing the Michael Bolton song you were saying.

[33:09] Alan Seales: Oh, I was singing Queen in the voice of Cher.

[33:12] Jesse McAnally: We're all the champions, my friend.

[33:14] Alan Seales: Shy Sheila is so shy that she's afraid to I don't give a rat's ass because this game is boring the out of me.

[33:22] Jesse McAnally: I don't know why they booked me on these chicken games.

[33:27] Alan Seales: Alright, what is our overall thoughts on Jim Carrey's unnatural act? And is it an already then or a no spank you? Alan, you're first.

[33:35] Alan Seales: This is tough. This is actually tough. Um because I want to give it both for different reasons. And if I was under the influence of perhaps an alcohol or a a THC edible in a state where it is legal, I would probably give it an alrighty then. A very light alrighty then. I'll go with that.

[33:57] Jesse McAnally: So high, if you're high, it's an already then. Because you have to just kind of roll with it.

[34:05] Alan Seales: Okay. You if you're looking for a comprehensive beginning, middle, and end, you're not gonna get it here. But it's good for a couple chuckles. I it'll make you exhale through your nose once or twice.

[34:14] Liz Eston: Alright, Liz, you're off.

[34:15] Liz Eston: Uh I it's fine. I just it's like perfectly adequate. I just didn't engage with it at all. Like, generally I did not engage with this. Like none of the jokes really hit me. Like the best part was the gym dancers. And then it all goes down from there, and I'm just like, well, whatever. Uh I'm gonna give it a no spare.

[34:38] Alan Seales: I don't even want to contest that.

[34:39] Jesse McAnally: Yeah.

[34:41] Alan Seales: Spare.

[34:43] Jesse McAnally: See, how can I be a contrarian when there's already a divide?

[34:46] Alan Seales: Yeah, you have to pick a side.

[34:48] Jesse McAnally: Next time you're going to be able to do that.

[34:49] Alan Seales: You have to make a side, man.

[34:51] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, you can't just ride that line.

[34:53] Alan Seales: Yeah, you can't just I don't always I'm gonna play the devil's son who for whoever is the person who had the one solo pain. I think I liked it. Like, I like stand-up comedy and that format tends to work. And compared to like a Jim Carrey or or a Joe Rogan, like, this is fine. I actually find it impressive when a comedian doesn't have to say fuck, which is kind of why I really liked early John Mulaney and Taylor Tomlinson and stuff like that.

[35:18] Jesse McAnally: Though um Taylor Thomason says fuck.

[35:20] Alan Seales: Yeah, but it's not like everyone's true.

[35:22] Jesse McAnally: That's true. Like there's some folks, you know, that that use that word quite a bit.

[35:26] Alan Seales: I'm gonna go watch Taylor Thomlinson now, as soon as we're done.

[35:29] Jesse McAnally: Watch your new Watch your new special, it's very good.

[35:31] Alan Seales: Alright.

[35:31] Jesse McAnally: I will.

[35:32] Alan Seales: Alright.

[35:32] Jesse McAnally: Fine, fine, I will.

[35:34] Alan Seales: Like I care.

[35:34] Jesse McAnally: It's an alrighty then. Like not even like a light one. It's just fine, you know.

[35:38] Alan Seales: No, I'm the contrarian.

[35:40] Jesse McAnally: Damn.

[35:40] Alan Seales: Yeah.

[35:41] Liz Eston: Elizabeth Eston, Elizabeth.

[35:43] Alan Seales: Like I I'm sorry to do this. Compared to the porn.

[35:47] Jesse McAnally: There you go.

[35:48] Alan Seales: And the length alone is like it's if it was like a 90 minute special.

[35:52] Liz Eston: Porn length?

[35:54] Alan Seales: If this were a 90 minute special, it would be a lot more unforgivable, but it's a quick, breezy, like 30, 40 minutes.

[36:02] Liz Eston: Yeah, because it aired on TV.

[36:04] Alan Seales: Right.

[36:04] Liz Eston: I said that's really neat.

[36:06] Alan Seales: Yeah, so they had to like, you know, every now and then you get a little cutaway to give you a little breather. You can pause it, go get some uh some popcorn or or refill your glass of Chardonnay or take another hit from the bong, whatever you want.

[36:18] Jesse McAnally: Chardonnay?

[36:20] Alan Seales: That is not a good choice of alcohol for this.

[36:22] Jesse McAnally: You can't get drunk fast enough.

[36:23] Alan Seales: I I would not know.

[36:25] Jesse McAnally: Take a cabaret shot and a full bottle of champagne.

[36:30] Alan Seales: Camera.

[36:31] Jesse McAnally: Also, I'm like, I just don't engage a lot of stand-up male comedians because I just I just get sometimes they just don't have good vibes and like a lot of the jokes like I just don't they don't hit with me because a lot of them are just about women and like sex with women and how women are bad, and it's like not trying to be sexist a lot, but like, my god, I get it.

[36:50] Alan Seales: Have you seen the infamous Martin Lawrence SNL monologue?

[36:57] Jesse McAnally: No.

[36:58] Alan Seales: Which sums up male comedians in the 90s.

[37:01] Jesse McAnally: No, you might have to send that my way.

[37:03] Alan Seales: Nope. Um, I'm gonna give a description because I it aired once, and I want to get the quote right. Um, because they've never been able to air it again. Um, and now um there every time that episode re-airs, there's a little a little thing that comes up, and it says Martin Lawrence then goes on a tirade because he believed Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. At this point in his monologue, Martin begins a commentary on what he considers the decline in standards of feminine hygiene in this country. Although we at Saturday Night Live take no stand with this issue one way or the other. Network policy prevents this from being rebroadcasted. Um it was a frank and lively presentation and nearly cost all of us our jobs. We now return to the conclusion of Martin's monologue.

[37:48] Jesse McAnally: He gave a monologue.

[37:50] Alan Seales: And I don't want to go into the details, but it starts with him saying, like, Women, some of you are not washing your ass.

[37:59] Jesse McAnally: And I just think, as a start to any comedic conceit, that he's gotta be a top ten worst, right?

[38:04] Alan Seales: Yeah.

[38:05] Jesse McAnally: I mean, yeah.

[38:06] Alan Seales: Yeah, a hundred percent.

[38:08] Jesse McAnally: Hundo, Hundo Percent.

[38:09] Alan Seales: Yeah, I watched I watched his British comedian once, and he literally opened with a rape joke, and I uh checked out immediately.

[38:19] Jesse McAnally: I mean, yeah, yeah.

[38:21] Alan Seales: Also, there's a female comedian or non-binary comedian who made a uh special that's online for free called Rape Joke. Uh watch that instead.

[38:27] Jesse McAnally: I've heard only good things.

[38:30] Alan Seales: If you want to see a brilliant deconstructed deconstruction of the conservative white male comedian, watch Tim Heidecker's like um special. Um it's on YouTube for free. It was on Netflix, but basically, he is doing like the the the a parody of a pathetic white man going up and basically being an insulting human being and always blaming the audience for not laughing. It's brilliant satire.

[38:57] Jesse McAnally: Is it an evening with Tim Heidecker?

[39:01] Alan Seales: Okay, cool.

[39:02] Jesse McAnally: I'm Jake Nicholson.

[39:10] Alan Seales: You better watch your ass.

[39:11] Jesse McAnally: You better watch your ass, Batm uh Batman.

[39:16] Alan Seales: And um how about this one? Um Do I feel do I make you look do you feel uh not with these? Um the um Do I feel lucky punk?

[39:28] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, do you feel do you make me do I feel um Do I make you feel lucky punk?

[39:28] Alan Seales: Uh who else?

[39:28] Jesse McAnally: Do I make you horny?

[39:42] Alan Seales: You can say to and Maggie Mayfish did a really good job deconstructing that as well, if you want to check out uh a reason why that works, as opposed to me just saying, it works It works.

[39:56] Jesse McAnally: Hey, it works.

[39:57] Alan Seales: Take it from me, another white man.

[40:02] Jesse McAnally: Just watch Taylor Tomlinson, y'all.

[40:03] Alan Seales: Just watch Taylor Tomlinson.

[40:05] Jesse McAnally: That's a lesson.

[40:06] Alan Seales: Or, you know, like there's uh a lot of other incredible. There's so many good comedians out there. Like, just watch those two. Like, um, Asia Hicks um is a wonderful non-binary comedian who is starring in one of my films. They're great. You should check them out. Great performer.
