• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Ah, you know.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: And you have to understand though. In our family, a

  Speaker 4: sense of humor was our calling card.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Our dad was the king of humor, but king of humor,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: and that you had to be able to.

• 1:49
  Speaker 4: family you get hammered until you figured out that's funny.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: It was so important that they are parents, especially Dad,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: instilled in us the ability to laugh at ourselves. And
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: that is a gift. That is a gift. It is
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: one of those things like I think there are people
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: who are just naturally witty, They're so fun and they're
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: the ones that everyone wants to be around. True, you know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: they're the ones that I think that comedians are among
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: the most brilliant. Yes, I think that they have to
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: be and they're the most aware among us.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: To be a really good comedian, yeah, you have to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: be You have to be smart. You have to be
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: able to think about things in ways that other people haven't,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and you have to also be.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Able to deliver it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And we have to be sensitive to the audience. So
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: it takes it. It's a specific type of intelligence to
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: be an excellent comedian.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: So if you are.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Naturally funny, you're the person that everyone's going to want
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: to sit around by dinner tables when you go out.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: If you're somebody that's not naturally funny but you've kind
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: of worked on it or whatever, it's not the same.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: But you know, I'm not slapstick humor is not funny
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: to me, you know, Steve Martin's that I'm a wild
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: and crazy guy with the era. That's not funny. It's
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: the it's the cerebral wit that comes to you and
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: you laugh in the next day you're maybe getting ready
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: going giggle.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: About it again. I just got it, you know, it's
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: so funny.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Like, I love that's a good way of saying it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I love.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Funny people are my favorite people to be around. People
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: who don't have a sense of humor are the least
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: favorite people to be around.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: You know what, when you grow up having when you
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: grow up ruthless, Like we were ruthless to each other,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: so we could take a joke as well as we
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: could give a joke. You also learn to not there's
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: certain lines that you can't cross, and you learn the balance.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: You learn that that's that's a little bit too mean,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: or you pull back. And I think that a lot
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: of people that do not grow up learning how to
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: be humorous, they reach a point where they don't land
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: right because they don't know, they haven't practiced basically.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: And it might come out mean.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: It comes out mean, it comes out sideways, and you're like,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I didn't land right because you're you have to kind
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: of to have a sense about that.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: There's some people that will say something and it does
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: come out the wrong way and you have to explain
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: it like no, no, no, what they meant was and then
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: the same another person can say the exact same thing
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: and get the whole It's funny. It's in the delivery.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: It's an intention.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: It's really that authenticity, you know, of being truly humorous
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: and being able to see the humor things. My advice
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: is start young, Start teaching your children to have a
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: sense of humor.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Start making fun of them, and then laugh when they
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: make fun of you. I mean, I think that's how
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: it starts, you know, the kidding, start kidding.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I've known my wife since she was fourteen. Yeah, and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: when we first started dating, I don't think she was necessarily,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you know, outwardly funny, but she made a lot of
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: effort to become funny. And she would tell jokes and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: she's like, you didn't laugh at that so then and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: she's like, no, you need to laugh at that, but now,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: And I still remember there was a time when she
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: told the joke and I just busted up laughing. She's like,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that's the first time you've ever just bust up laughing
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: at something.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: I said.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: A big jults adult out.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Of making somebody laugh. And I'll tell you another important
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: piece of this is the laugher. Yes, Kimberly is the greatest.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: She's the greatest audience for all of us in our family,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: every single one of us, like when you hear her laugh.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: If you say something and she laughs, it is like
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: a reward.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: I have to be funny. I can't fake it, So
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: you gotta be funny.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: But you're crazy laugher and you're a great audience.
