You haven't done much acting though, right?
You're going to like it. I think so. When it's yours, it's different. Big time, yeah. Because you really understand it. You're like, I know exactly what I'm doing. Because you've had your shows. I've done some stuff. Nothing crazy. Do you like it? It's okay. I mean... It's a lot of work, and the payoff's just not there anymore.
And I mean, I look at it as, well, I could stand here and work for a month and a half for 14 hours a day, six days a week, or I could go do a weekend and make way more money than I did in this month and a half of...
Yeah, like if my friends are doing something, they're like, you want to do it? Oh, yeah. But if they're like, hey, they want you to audition. I'm like, eh, I'm good. Yeah. Someone so-and-so wants to know if you want to. Is it an open audition or are they asking for me? Well, they're open to you. I'm not doing it. I've been fucking doing this shit 35 years now. I don't want to.
I'm sick of jumping through hoops. Fuck it. You know what I do? You know who I am. You want me or you don't want me. I don't give a shit. 35 years? 35 years. Since 89. That is... I first did Just for Laughs in 96. Wow. That was a good year. That was when Just for Laughs would still... That's when Chicken got a deal.
Yeah. Tell people the Chicken story real quick. Chicken was this guy. He was a comic called himself Chicken. Did he dress him in a chicken suit, I think? I think he either did that or didn't he have a prop chicken with him? Something like that. He got a million-dollar deal. It was the last million-dollar deal they gave at Just for Laughs. And then he killed himself a few years later, right? Yeah.
It's a good story to end on. I mean, you know. Did he hang himself? Because that would be even funnier if he choked his chicken. Yeah. I believe he did. I think he did. That'd be amazing. Just fucking. He's just going for the punchline right to the end, you know? Oh, fuck. I love commitment. You have to commit. You got to commit to that one. You got to commit.
I don't want him to think. I don't want him to. I don't want to prove to him that I'm an idiot. Stay relaxed. Just relax. It's just relax. Relax. It's not that serious.
or as the I feel like there's some places in the mall called just relax yeah those fake men they have the really shitty artwork on their board yeah just relax just relax like they googled how do I get a logo yeah and then they're like here I generated a logo for you I generated a logo for you well Russell's touring well those are see it's funny because I'm doing the arenas and the club dates in between the arenas too it's kind of a yeah a mishmash of things I think that's the best way to actually do stand up
I agree because if you get stuck in the arena headspace and you go into a club, it throws you off. It does.

Thanks for taking me along all those years. Come on, kid. It was great. I knew it when I saw you. I said, this kid's going to be something if he shaves his head. This kid's got to shave his head. All right.
