• 2:34
  Speaker 4: my birthday gave me a cardboard cutout of Colin Quinn.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: It was a joke, life size, and so I would
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I put it.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: In the front of my house and I would come
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: home and go, Hi, honey, I'm home as a show.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: So my first day with my husband, you know you're
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: going to first day with somebody you don't think that
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: could have walked. I mean, I wasn't the type that
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: they were going to come inside. But he walked me
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: to the front door. After our date, and when I
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: opened the door, cardboard and I was like, well, this
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: guy is stuck around. After that, even from when we
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: got engaged, he gave me tickets to see Colin show Funny.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: So then Catherine, you were there. Cat, I did a
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: show with Colin years later at a benefit in the Bronx. Yes,
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: and I always loved gushed over Colin and my husband
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: and Colin finally meet and Colin goes, oh, you're the husband,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: and Mike goes, you look better in cardboard.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: He goes, I deserve that.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: I deserve that she gushes over me.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: You're allowed to get your.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: First shot in love that I want to ask you
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: a question. I was asking Rick some questions which I
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: never asked you because on chazz Is we usually talk
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: about day to day stuff.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I want to ask you, as a.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Comedian who is your favorite comedian right now today?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: If you had to pick one, who do you love?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I know that's hard. It's like what's your favorite song?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Who's your favorite?
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: I guess aside from Present Company, we just what talks
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: about Colin who. I just think he's I think he's
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: in his own category.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: It's amazing.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's separate than like regular stands ups
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: to me, he's also the king of the one man show. Now.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: But like comics that I love, I guess comics that
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I work with, like because I don't sit around, you
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: know this Captain always like, let's go to this comedy
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: show and I'm like, I'm not going to a comedy show.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Comics, why just you don't do it?
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: And if I work with them, like I took her
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: to see one person I loved, Adrian Applelucci. Yes, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: because I feel like there's nobody like Adrian and she
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: has a special comedy.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Now this go crosses the line like you wouldn't believe.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: And you go, oh my god, But it works for her.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's anybody like her doing it. So
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: I really love that, Like when somebody has a comedic
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: voice that's not common because you know, you could really
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: repeat each other after a while, the same ideas, same thoughts,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: you know, same observations. I think, yeah, Josh Wolf, you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: but I've been on the road with Josh, so of
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: course I have a deeper appreciation for what he does
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: because I'm watching it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Do you have any female comment besides her Adrian?
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, I love Tracy Carnazzo, who.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: You know what, I grew up with Tracy.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: I think she's somebody else who has a very specific voice.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: It's not what every other comic is doing.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: She has a different perspective, especially Italian comic.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and she doesn't even go that I'll play to that,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: I'll pander today.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: She doesn't do that different.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: So I love that. I love I love voices like
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: that that are just different.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So where are you playing now?
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: So let's talk about a big deal for you in
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: your career and where you're going.

  Speaker 4: it's just honestly, I was.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Just I was saying it to be physicial, I know,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: but it's my rant of the day. I like that
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: you're doing that.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I think it's simple, it's not over complicated, and it's
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: I think when somebody talks alone. You know, I did
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: two videos that I put up on alive something that upset.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Me, and I forgot what it was. I remember that
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: during the pandemic.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: I remember it.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: I can't even tell you the response. I never in
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: the what is it in your stories? I remember it
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: was the most I remember people responding and talking to
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: me and sharing it.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Then everyone was like what. I didn't even expect it.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: In fact, I was going to delete it.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: And it was just about a little rant about empathy, yes,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: and which ones that are going on? People follow each other,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: somebody says one bad thing and then about a person,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: and then everybody's on board, waiting.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: To at chat on their little keyboard.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: I remember, and it's just like this, like nobody's standing up,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: going hey, wait a minute, like let's hear that other
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: person's side.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: It's like, no empathy and no.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: I love that you said you wanted to delete it
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: and it went so wild. Those are the videos, and
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: I also like that. I feel like I showed myself
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: with her, and people love the moments with me her
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: and chats because they look like they're behind the scenes
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: with friends. But most of my stuff comedy wise is
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: surface level stuff. My social media surfle level, surface level stuff.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: So like she's saying, people do get the inside. Like
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: I'll talk about a lot of things that I normally
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: would never speak.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: I like that publicly, and I like one of the time,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: I won't like it if it was going too long.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: It's like, I'm already ten minutes, ten minutes. Who's coffee?
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Ten minutes? That's all this. We were just talking. We're
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: just talking about it.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Whatever Contenson spans was nobody we.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Have to say drinks.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: It's attention span, Like, how do you keep people's attention.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Especially the kids there?
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: If you could hold their attention for what I know,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: three minutes and that TikTok.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Social media forget it. It's all about, you know, retaining
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: people's attention. And I want to watch anything.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: That's why people would would like even watching shows and stuff.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I think that's why the viewership is so low because
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: the next generation is not doing that. They're just not
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: It's sad and skinny.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: It's insand I wish they would unplug the internet for
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: one year, take a break.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: She wished we could take a break.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah we should.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: It was like we took a break the good part
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: about twenty was I thought that everybody stopped, sat back,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: hung out, realized what was important, hung out with their families.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: And reset. And that was the great lockdown on the
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: lockdown that was the only good part.
