00:03:27,802 --> 00:03:29,005

Marc Preston: interviews, have heard I've never heard

112

00:03:29,025 --> 00:03:30,689

Marc Preston: anybody say that, something which I think

113

00:03:30,749 --> 00:03:33,481

Marc Preston: is really unique about you, that I think,

114

00:03:33,541 --> 00:03:35,004

Marc Preston: as far as you were kind of the first

115

00:03:36,167 --> 00:03:39,133

Marc Preston: comedic voice in my mind for like Gen X

116

00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,927

Marc Preston: Kind of like, in that I'm trying to think

117

00:03:42,968 --> 00:03:44,651

Marc Preston: it was the.

118

00:03:44,912 --> 00:03:45,673

Marc Preston: You did it in the round.

119

00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:46,944

Marc Preston: Was it Madison Square Garden?

120

00:03:47,265 --> 00:03:48,941

Dane Cook: Was that the arena show you did Yeah the

121

00:03:48,981 --> 00:03:51,328

00:03:51,709 --> 00:03:53,285

Marc Preston: Circle, That's right, Boston Garden.

124

00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,724

Marc Preston: And I remember you talking about laying in

125

00:03:55,784 --> 00:03:59,791

Marc Preston: bed and just like how uncomfortable it was

126

00:03:59,851 --> 00:04:01,314

Marc Preston: or something, laying next to somebody who's

127

00:04:01,354 --> 00:04:01,695

Marc Preston: sleeping.

128

00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:04,646

Marc Preston: I was like you capture the awkwardness of

129

00:04:04,686 --> 00:04:06,710

Marc Preston: being Gen X in your 20s better than anybody

130

00:04:07,071 --> 00:04:07,431

Marc Preston: ever did.

131

00:04:08,820 --> 00:04:10,946

Marc Preston: But no, I know a lot of people came out of

132

00:04:10,986 --> 00:04:13,141

Marc Preston: that generation but you kind of like I was

133

00:04:13,181 --> 00:04:13,823

Marc Preston: thinking I was like man.

135

00:04:17,542 --> 00:04:18,244

Marc Preston: is a compliment.

136

00:04:18,304 --> 00:04:20,108

Marc Preston: It sure as shit's not sounding like it, But

137

00:04:20,690 --> 00:04:22,802

Marc Preston: seriously, you really You kind of captured

00:04:22,842 --> 00:04:25,348

Marc Preston: the experience of what's like to be in your

139

00:04:25,388 --> 00:04:27,172

Marc Preston: 20s back in the 90s.

140

00:04:28,081 --> 00:04:30,164

Dane Cook: It felt like in that era there was some

141

00:04:30,244 --> 00:04:34,270

Dane Cook: prime real estate in terms of communicating

142

00:04:34,711 --> 00:04:40,086

Dane Cook: to a modern group of humans what comedy can

143

00:04:40,147 --> 00:04:41,631

Dane Cook: and should be for our generation.

144

00:04:41,780 --> 00:04:46,296

145

00:04:46,316 --> 00:04:47,560

Dane Cook: curve there for Zeitgeist.

146

00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,704

150

00:04:58,449 --> 00:05:02,787

Dane Cook: long form career as well as some long form

151

Marc Preston: I mean, is that where they're from

355

00:12:18,179 --> 00:12:20,066

Marc Preston: originally, or did your family kind of move

356

00:12:20,126 --> 00:12:21,150

Marc Preston: in before having you there?

357

00:12:21,270 --> 00:12:23,596

Dane Cook: Yeah, my, my parents sadly both passed away

358

00:12:23,677 --> 00:12:27,855

Dane Cook: in around 07 and Their entire lives they

359

00:12:27,875 --> 00:12:31,055

Dane Cook: lived Cambridge, arlington, that region of

360

00:12:31,095 --> 00:12:31,456

Dane Cook: the world.

361

00:12:31,517 --> 00:12:33,124

Dane Cook: My mom actually ended up moving down to

362

00:12:33,164 --> 00:12:35,694

Dane Cook: Delray Beach in her last years, but we, you

363

00:12:35,714 --> 00:12:37,139

Dane Cook: know, we lived, vacationed.

364

00:12:37,750 --> 00:12:39,634

Dane Cook: Everything that I knew was, you know, the

365

00:12:39,674 --> 00:12:42,460

Dane Cook: whole world was pretty much Massachusetts

366

00:12:42,961 --> 00:12:46,174

Dane Cook: or Cape Cod or Maine From time to time in

367

00:12:46,194 --> 00:12:46,595

Dane Cook: the summer.

368

00:12:47,097 --> 00:12:51,833

Dane Cook: But they were really instrumental in not

369

00:12:51,893 --> 00:12:55,591

Dane Cook: only helping me to develop my Kind of

370

00:12:55,652 --> 00:12:57,877

Dane Cook: storytelling, but they were the kinds of

371

00:12:57,957 --> 00:13:00,403

Dane Cook: people that you want in your life that

372

00:13:01,651 --> 00:13:04,644

Dane Cook: Bring value to original ideas.

373

00:13:04,926 --> 00:13:05,850

Dane Cook: And what do I mean by that?

374

00:13:06,010 --> 00:13:08,979

Dane Cook: Which is sometimes if you're going into

375

00:13:09,059 --> 00:13:10,703

Dane Cook: territory in life where you feel like, well,

376

00:13:10,784 --> 00:13:13,351

Dane Cook: nobody's really done things like this, it's

377

00:13:13,451 --> 00:13:16,441

Dane Cook: real easy to say but that that could go,

378

00:13:16,702 --> 00:13:18,368

Dane Cook: you know, belly flop and you might waste

379

00:13:18,488 --> 00:13:20,802

Dane Cook: time, money, money you don't have.

380

00:13:20,943 --> 00:13:22,211

Dane Cook: Certainly when you're a new comedian You

381

00:13:22,231 --> 00:13:22,954

Dane Cook: don't have those things.

382

00:13:23,799 --> 00:13:25,788

Dane Cook: And when I had those ideas early on in my

383

00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:28,398

Dane Cook: career, i can't tell you how quickly my dad

384

00:13:28,458 --> 00:13:30,445

Dane Cook: grabbed me by the shoulders and he said if

385

00:13:30,485 --> 00:13:31,930

Dane Cook: you believe you're about to do something

386

00:13:32,110 --> 00:13:34,516

Dane Cook: That hasn't been done before, show me

387

00:13:34,597 --> 00:13:35,719

Dane Cook: exactly what that is.

388

00:13:36,141 --> 00:13:39,973

Dane Cook: And and that's what my parents Built me to

389

00:13:40,114 --> 00:13:42,441

Dane Cook: be able to to do an accomplishing.

390

00:13:42,481 --> 00:13:44,989

Dane Cook: Now, 31 years later, we get to talk about

391

00:13:45,029 --> 00:13:45,270

Dane Cook: it again.

392

00:13:45,751 --> 00:13:46,573

Marc Preston: I'm in that kind of phase.

393

00:13:46,633 --> 00:13:48,958

Marc Preston: I started working in radio and doing

394

00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,644

Marc Preston: voiceover and stuff and acting 31 years ago.

395

00:13:51,690 --> 00:13:53,820

Marc Preston: Also, it's weird to say 31 years.

396

00:13:53,881 --> 00:13:55,769

Marc Preston: I'm going, i don't know if I should say

397

00:13:55,790 --> 00:13:58,056

Marc Preston: that And you know, when they were watching

398

00:13:58,076 --> 00:14:00,542

Marc Preston: the trajectory of your career, where they I

399

00:14:00,562 --> 00:14:02,227

Marc Preston: don't say it's not confused by God, rest,

400

00:14:02,450 --> 00:14:02,731

Marc Preston: it's all.

401

00:14:02,771 --> 00:14:04,554

Marc Preston: I have a grandfather, wonderful businessman,

402

00:14:04,655 --> 00:14:07,320

Marc Preston: funny, great, great soul, and and I could

403

00:14:07,340 --> 00:14:09,144

Marc Preston: tell he didn't really understand what I did,

404

00:14:09,190 --> 00:14:09,952

Marc Preston: but he supported me.

405

00:14:09,992 --> 00:14:10,554

Marc Preston: But I mean, did you?

406

00:14:10,895 --> 00:14:13,081

Marc Preston: and towards the end he kind of got it most

407

00:14:13,101 --> 00:14:13,402

Marc Preston: certainly.

408

00:14:13,490 --> 00:14:16,413

Marc Preston: But did your parents Understand choices you

409

00:14:16,453 --> 00:14:16,653

Marc Preston: made?

410

00:14:17,455 --> 00:14:19,761

Marc Preston: and you know, because for a comedian, the

411

00:14:19,861 --> 00:14:22,394

Marc Preston: lifestyle, the Everything, were they just

412

00:14:22,434 --> 00:14:24,321

Marc Preston: like, hey, do your thing, or were they

413

00:14:24,341 --> 00:14:25,185

Marc Preston: trying to offer advice?

414

00:14:25,466 --> 00:14:26,530

Marc Preston: What was going on back then?

415

00:14:26,951 --> 00:14:27,755

Dane Cook: It's a great question.

416

00:14:27,935 --> 00:14:28,738

Dane Cook: I love this question.

417

00:14:28,830 --> 00:14:30,573

Dane Cook: I'll tell you why because my dad, who was

418

00:14:30,934 --> 00:14:33,739

Dane Cook: born a athletic, very athletic guy, broad

419

00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:36,784

Dane Cook: shoulders, and he spoke athleticism.

420

00:14:37,691 --> 00:14:40,394

Dane Cook: He didn't quite understand the arts But he

421

00:14:40,495 --> 00:14:40,695

Dane Cook: knew.

422

00:14:40,916 --> 00:14:42,462

Dane Cook: He knew about competition, he knew

423

00:14:42,503 --> 00:14:44,731

Dane Cook: competitive spirit and at first He was a

424

00:14:44,791 --> 00:14:47,017

Dane Cook: little unsure of, like, what his son going

425

00:14:47,037 --> 00:14:49,543

Dane Cook: into the arts and comedy really entailed.

426

00:14:50,151 --> 00:14:51,676

Dane Cook: But when I finally showed him you know

427

00:14:51,717 --> 00:14:54,365

Dane Cook: those large-scale arena shows and I said

428

00:14:54,706 --> 00:14:57,153

Dane Cook: look, i'm like yourself, i'm in these, i'm

429

00:14:57,213 --> 00:14:59,840

Dane Cook: in these arenas where you performed and

430

00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:01,832

Dane Cook: watched sporting events And I'm in the

431

00:15:01,913 --> 00:15:04,080

Dane Cook: round with a trussell that I created to

432

00:15:04,140 --> 00:15:06,567

Dane Cook: look like the old boxing ring that you used

433

00:15:06,607 --> 00:15:07,249

Dane Cook: to box in.

434

00:15:07,290 --> 00:15:10,137

Dane Cook: So I'm very much the athlete that you are.

435

00:15:10,497 --> 00:15:12,723

Dane Cook: It took him about 10 or 15 years to finally

436

00:15:13,431 --> 00:15:15,616

Dane Cook: Really understand what I was doing and how

437

00:15:15,676 --> 00:15:17,319

Dane Cook: it coincided with his ability.

438

00:15:17,801 --> 00:15:19,412

Dane Cook: My mom, on the other hand, man, when I tell

439

00:15:19,432 --> 00:15:22,912

Dane Cook: you, Marc my mom, she was no soothsayer But

440

00:15:22,952 --> 00:15:24,056

Dane Cook: she did know my future.

441

00:15:24,257 --> 00:15:26,264

Dane Cook: And at 15 years old, when I said I'm gonna

442

00:15:26,284 --> 00:15:28,674

Dane Cook: She said I know.

446

00:15:33,415 --> 00:15:34,017

Dane Cook: She said I know.

447

00:15:34,077 --> 00:15:35,824

Dane Cook: I know from the moment, moment that I felt

448

Dane Cook: And she goes that I knew that I needed to

451

00:15:41,242 --> 00:15:43,470

Dane Cook: protect that, so there was a mom.

452

00:15:44,112 --> 00:15:45,235

00:17:57,016 --> 00:17:59,337

Dane Cook: of mind whenever Possible, and because I

520

00:17:59,398 --> 00:18:01,430

Dane Cook: never take anything negative to the stage,

521

00:18:01,992 --> 00:18:03,158

Dane Cook: i knew I could probably get away with.

522

00:18:03,178 --> 00:18:05,488

Dane Cook: Some topics that were, you know, pretty

523

00:18:05,608 --> 00:18:07,737

Dane Cook: low-brow Sometimes are out there because

524

00:18:07,877 --> 00:18:09,583

Dane Cook: people knew that I wasn't trying to be

525

00:18:09,664 --> 00:18:11,290

Dane Cook: vulgar for the sake of shock value.

526

00:18:11,551 --> 00:18:13,720

Marc Preston: Who is this kind of your disposition as a

527

00:18:13,780 --> 00:18:14,824

Marc Preston: kid, like in school?

528

00:18:14,904 --> 00:18:16,871

Marc Preston: or are you more reserved, you more Gagari

529

00:18:16,891 --> 00:18:17,172

Marc Preston: is what?

530

00:18:17,192 --> 00:18:18,796

Marc Preston: the more you know going back to high school

531

00:18:18,916 --> 00:18:21,181

Marc Preston: or things like junior, junior high, because

532

00:18:21,201 --> 00:18:22,952

Marc Preston: that's usually when the Stuff starts

533

00:18:22,992 --> 00:18:23,413

Marc Preston: happening.

534

00:18:23,493 --> 00:18:25,398

Dane Cook: Yeah, no, junior high for me was a

535

00:18:25,538 --> 00:18:29,114

Dane Cook: introvert, very wallflower very much, so

536

00:18:29,214 --> 00:18:33,093

Dane Cook: more of more of an observer Didn't really

537

00:18:33,153 --> 00:18:34,778

Dane Cook: participate very much, just because of

538

00:18:34,838 --> 00:18:35,801

Dane Cook: social anxiety.

539

00:18:36,651 --> 00:18:38,616

Dane Cook: But I do believe that all those elements

540

00:18:38,716 --> 00:18:41,923

Dane Cook: actually led to me being a more nuanced

541

00:18:42,570 --> 00:18:44,174

Dane Cook: Storyteller because I could see little

542

00:18:44,214 --> 00:18:46,399

Dane Cook: things in human behavior, probably because

543

00:18:46,459 --> 00:18:48,523

Dane Cook: I was only listening you know, my, my

544

00:18:49,552 --> 00:18:51,301

Dane Cook: Daughter, my 17 year old, has always been

545

00:18:51,321 --> 00:18:51,703

Dane Cook: the same way.

546

00:18:51,723 --> 00:18:52,005

Marc Preston: She can.

547

00:18:52,025 --> 00:18:53,853

Marc Preston: She can walk into a room And I used to do a

548

00:18:54,014 --> 00:18:56,525

Marc Preston: PA announcing for a baseball team, just for

549

00:18:56,605 --> 00:18:57,971

Marc Preston: fun, because kids love baseball And I

550

00:18:57,991 --> 00:18:59,434

Marc Preston: thought be fun to do for a summer or two.

551

00:19:00,136 --> 00:19:01,821

Marc Preston: And she could walk into the press box and

552

00:19:01,861 --> 00:19:03,152

Marc Preston: bunch of other people, she could read the

553

00:19:03,212 --> 00:19:05,377

Marc Preston: room, she people would look at her and say,

554

00:19:05,437 --> 00:19:06,139

Marc Preston: gosh, she's so shy.

555

00:19:06,159 --> 00:19:07,863

Marc Preston: It's like no, no, she's studying you right

556

00:19:07,903 --> 00:19:08,043

Marc Preston: now.

557

00:19:09,331 --> 00:19:10,756

Marc Preston: So I totally get that now.

558

00:19:10,876 --> 00:19:15,331

Marc Preston: Now, but when did you feel like Cliche

559

00:19:15,352 --> 00:19:16,595

Marc Preston: phrase came out of your shell?

560

00:19:16,676 --> 00:19:16,876

Marc Preston: when?

561

00:19:17,197 --> 00:19:19,933

Marc Preston: when did you feel that Kind of like when

562

00:19:19,953 --> 00:19:21,357

Marc Preston: you got your feet underneath you and you,

563

00:19:21,417 --> 00:19:22,800

Marc Preston: you were making some choices that you were

564

00:19:23,021 --> 00:19:23,402

Marc Preston: sticking to.

565

00:19:24,552 --> 00:19:25,114

Dane Cook: Yeah it.

566

00:19:25,334 --> 00:19:25,975

Dane Cook: It took a while.

567

00:19:26,216 --> 00:19:28,461

Dane Cook: It certainly even though the first time I

568

00:19:28,501 --> 00:19:31,253

Dane Cook: performed I felt Exhilarated and I felt

569

00:19:31,293 --> 00:19:33,277

Dane Cook: some purpose almost immediately.

570

00:19:33,598 --> 00:19:35,382

Dane Cook: I knew that it I was in the right place,

571

00:19:35,462 --> 00:19:35,903

Dane Cook: right time.

572

00:19:36,471 --> 00:19:39,280

Dane Cook: But it took me probably about three or four

573

00:19:39,401 --> 00:19:42,134

Dane Cook: years Before I could confidently look

574

00:19:42,275 --> 00:19:44,019

Dane Cook: somebody in the eyes and say I'm a

575

00:19:44,099 --> 00:19:45,362

Dane Cook: performer, i'm a comedian.

576

00:19:45,873 --> 00:19:46,215

Dane Cook: I didn't.

577

00:19:46,275 --> 00:19:48,567

Dane Cook: I was, i wasn't ashamed of it, but I didn't

578

00:19:48,587 --> 00:19:52,057

Dane Cook: know how to Present myself.

579

00:19:52,458 --> 00:19:55,204

Dane Cook: I think I was bashful still and I was

580

00:19:55,265 --> 00:19:57,129

Dane Cook: certainly just afraid of my own voice for a

581

00:19:57,169 --> 00:19:57,570

Dane Cook: long time.

582

00:19:57,590 --> 00:19:59,390

Dane Cook: You know, unless I had the mic in my hand,

583

00:20:00,014 --> 00:20:00,356

Dane Cook: i didn't.

584

00:20:00,477 --> 00:20:02,469

Dane Cook: I felt more like the Clark Kent, but on

585

00:20:02,509 --> 00:20:05,315

Dane Cook: stage I had a bit of a Superman moment and

586

00:20:05,376 --> 00:20:06,939

Dane Cook: it took me probably about four or five

587

00:20:06,999 --> 00:20:09,384

Dane Cook: years before I realized, in an aha moment,

588

00:20:10,137 --> 00:20:13,202

Dane Cook: i Am the person I become on stage.

589

00:20:14,086 --> 00:20:14,830

Dane Cook: I am that guy.

590

00:20:15,532 --> 00:20:18,378

Dane Cook: I just need to allow myself to love myself

591

00:20:18,418 --> 00:20:20,262

Dane Cook: a little more and be confident and let go

592

00:20:20,282 --> 00:20:20,963

Dane Cook: with some of the fear.

593

00:20:21,613 --> 00:20:23,020

Marc Preston: And that we're the way that happens,

594

00:20:23,081 --> 00:20:24,308

Marc Preston: because you think you're going and putting

595

00:20:24,368 --> 00:20:25,655

Marc Preston: on a show, but really what you're doing is

596

00:20:25,675 --> 00:20:27,163

Marc Preston: you're stripping things away more than

597

00:20:27,203 --> 00:20:27,545

Marc Preston: anything.

598

00:20:27,706 --> 00:20:28,872

Dane Cook: Yeah, yeah, it's funny.

599

00:20:29,333 --> 00:20:31,079

Dane Cook: My whole philosophy is life is, you know,

600

00:20:31,410 --> 00:20:33,419

Dane Cook: removing the obstacles and the hurdles that

601

00:20:33,439 --> 00:20:35,749

Dane Cook: you probably already have set in front of

602

00:20:35,770 --> 00:20:35,830

Dane Cook: you.

603

00:20:35,971 --> 00:20:37,839

Dane Cook: You know, those things sometimes aren't

604

00:20:37,899 --> 00:20:40,150

Dane Cook: things that appear, it's actually obstacles

605

00:20:40,250 --> 00:20:42,797

Dane Cook: We run towards and and maybe the sole

606

00:20:42,857 --> 00:20:45,472

Dane Cook: purpose isn't be what's beyond it, but for

607

00:20:45,512 --> 00:20:48,158

Dane Cook: you to work on removing that element so

608

00:20:48,178 --> 00:20:49,842

Dane Cook: that you can enjoy everything beyond it.

609

00:20:50,273 --> 00:20:51,503

Marc Preston: No, when did you start touring?

610

00:20:51,544 --> 00:20:52,189

Marc Preston: How old were you?

611

00:20:52,209 --> 00:20:52,249

Marc Preston: Oh?

612

00:20:53,251 --> 00:20:54,132

Dane Cook: Boy touring.

613

00:20:54,293 --> 00:20:56,156

Dane Cook: Well, i started touring around New England,

614

00:20:56,176 --> 00:20:57,760

Dane Cook: you know, tooling around in my little Chevy

615

00:20:57,780 --> 00:21:01,975

Dane Cook: Cavalier in 90, 91, 92, and then I wasn't.

616

00:21:02,036 --> 00:21:03,943

Marc Preston: wasn't Marc Marin kind of bouncing around

617

00:21:03,983 --> 00:21:05,810

Marc Preston: up there as well right about that same time?

618

00:21:06,051 --> 00:21:07,577

Marc Preston: I know he went school up there, yeah.

619

00:21:07,878 --> 00:21:10,609

Dane Cook: Yeah, marin was the graduating class ahead

620

00:21:10,649 --> 00:21:12,515

Dane Cook: of us So he didn't pal around with us

621

00:21:12,535 --> 00:21:13,057

Dane Cook: because we were.

622

00:21:13,238 --> 00:21:16,252

Dane Cook: You know we were the noobs, but he was

623

00:21:16,513 --> 00:21:19,159

Dane Cook: already kind of staking his claim, i think,

624

00:21:19,259 --> 00:21:20,703

Dane Cook: outside of Boston in New York.

625

00:21:21,591 --> 00:21:23,576

Dane Cook: But I was just roaming around New England

626

00:21:23,997 --> 00:21:26,411

Dane Cook: looking for college gigs, looking for Heaps

627

00:21:26,451 --> 00:21:28,395

Dane Cook: of places or Chinese food restaurants that

628

00:21:28,415 --> 00:21:29,939

Dane Cook: we're offering open mics for me to.

629

00:21:30,259 --> 00:21:30,860

Dane Cook: You know, get better.

630

00:21:38,318 --> 00:21:40,043

Marc Preston: When it comes to the lifestyle of touring,

631

00:21:40,083 --> 00:21:42,650

Marc Preston: i've always been kind of like that seems

632

00:21:42,690 --> 00:21:44,636

Marc Preston: like it's really cool, but then I like I

633

00:21:44,656 --> 00:21:46,080

Marc Preston: don't know if I could live that lifestyle.

634

00:21:46,370 --> 00:21:47,818

Marc Preston: What was that like when you're actually out

635

00:21:47,878 --> 00:21:48,924

Marc Preston: on the road and it's?

636

00:21:49,206 --> 00:21:49,467

Marc Preston: you know?

637

00:21:49,487 --> 00:21:51,414

Marc Preston: I hear that the, the owners of some of the

638

00:21:51,454 --> 00:21:53,539

Marc Preston: clubs can be their own, like peculiar

639

00:21:53,599 --> 00:21:54,281

Marc Preston: ecosystem.

640

00:21:54,341 --> 00:21:56,434

Marc Preston: And what was that like early on for you

641

00:21:56,454 --> 00:21:57,899

Marc Preston: when you were kind of getting some momentum?

642

00:21:58,250 --> 00:22:02,076

Dane Cook: Yeah, it was lonely, it was hard because

643

00:22:02,096 --> 00:22:04,044

Dane Cook: there was a lot of yeah, there was a lot of

644

00:22:04,084 --> 00:22:06,412

Dane Cook: people and kind of in power that would not

645

00:22:06,452 --> 00:22:08,658

Dane Cook: always pay you or, you know, would try to

646

00:22:08,858 --> 00:22:10,342

Dane Cook: kind of take advantage of your time or

647

00:22:10,422 --> 00:22:10,763

Dane Cook: efforts.

648

00:22:11,432 --> 00:22:13,660

Dane Cook: So you're kind of learning in a very small

649

00:22:13,761 --> 00:22:16,049

Dane Cook: pond, like what the business itself is,

650

00:22:16,109 --> 00:22:18,100

Dane Cook: which is, you know, you got to, you got a

651

00:22:18,140 --> 00:22:19,709

Dane Cook: load of the legalese and you got to be able

652

00:22:19,729 --> 00:22:21,255

Dane Cook: to know how to you know protect yourself in

653

00:22:21,295 --> 00:22:21,797

Dane Cook: those moments.

654

00:22:22,450 --> 00:22:26,062

Dane Cook: But I think that before the internet

655

00:22:26,403 --> 00:22:28,369

Dane Cook: because I'm the old bull I can talk about

656

00:22:28,409 --> 00:22:30,797

Dane Cook: that, you know, transfer moment it was very

657

00:22:30,897 --> 00:22:31,258

Dane Cook: lonely.

658

00:22:31,870 --> 00:22:33,639

Dane Cook: And then, once the computer came in and

659

00:22:33,659 --> 00:22:35,970

Dane Cook: there was a bit more of a closeness to even

660

00:22:35,990 --> 00:22:38,496

Dane Cook: the people that were back home, that

661

00:22:38,757 --> 00:22:40,482

Dane Cook: alleviated a lot of that stress.

662

00:22:40,690 --> 00:22:42,554

Dane Cook: But the first five to seven years was

663

00:22:43,275 --> 00:22:45,981

Dane Cook: really really lonely, really hard out there.

664

00:22:46,182 --> 00:22:46,442

Marc Preston: I don't know.

665

00:22:47,130 --> 00:22:48,354

Marc Preston: Like I said, it seems like it would be cool

666

00:22:48,374 --> 00:22:49,578

Marc Preston: to be in different cities, meet different

667

00:22:49,618 --> 00:22:51,435

Marc Preston: people, but it's I don't know, it could be

668

00:22:51,495 --> 00:22:52,792

Marc Preston: rough also, but it's funny.

669

00:22:52,812 --> 00:22:53,536

Marc Preston: you mentioned the internet.

670

00:22:54,091 --> 00:22:55,073

Marc Preston: I'm sitting there, going like I.

671

00:22:55,734 --> 00:22:58,019

Marc Preston: you know I'll prepare sometimes for for

672

00:22:58,039 --> 00:22:58,881

Marc Preston: folks like Dan Cook.

673

00:22:58,941 --> 00:23:01,373

Marc Preston: I know Dan Cook, but I saw something that

674

00:23:01,714 --> 00:23:02,897

Marc Preston: you're one of the first people to really

675

00:23:02,937 --> 00:23:05,973

Marc Preston: embrace MySpace, if we're going OG, as a

676

00:23:06,033 --> 00:23:09,200

Marc Preston: means of kind of, you know, forging direct

677

00:23:09,220 --> 00:23:10,122

Marc Preston: connections for folks.

678

00:23:11,130 --> 00:23:11,753

Marc Preston: Was that just some?

679

00:23:12,215 --> 00:23:13,642

Marc Preston: were you just immediately when you saw

680

00:23:13,702 --> 00:23:15,651

Marc Preston: MySpace and internet like I'm going to

681

00:23:15,671 --> 00:23:16,212

Marc Preston: embrace this?

682

00:23:16,252 --> 00:23:17,857

Marc Preston: or did somebody give you some advice and

683

00:23:17,897 --> 00:23:19,281

Marc Preston: say, dude, you need to jump on this?

684

00:23:19,650 --> 00:23:21,595

Dane Cook: Yeah, it was like I now I like to call

685

00:23:21,896 --> 00:23:23,400

Dane Cook: MySpace TikTok 1.0.

686

00:23:23,990 --> 00:23:27,337

Dane Cook: Myspace was the very first place where, you

687

00:23:27,357 --> 00:23:29,502

Dane Cook: know, ideas were culminated.

688

00:23:30,150 --> 00:23:32,877

Dane Cook: But I looked at as a immediately as hey,

689

00:23:32,937 --> 00:23:34,221

Dane Cook: people are congregating here.

690

00:23:34,770 --> 00:23:35,995

Dane Cook: This is like comedy in the park.

691

00:23:36,290 --> 00:23:37,413

Dane Cook: This is like when I used to walk through

692

00:23:37,473 --> 00:23:39,699

Dane Cook: Fanguil Hall in Boston and somebody could

693

00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,454

Dane Cook: be performing there their actor, you know

694

00:23:42,814 --> 00:23:46,481

Dane Cook: magic or comedy or music and gathering a

695

00:23:46,521 --> 00:23:47,783

Dane Cook: little crowd on the street.

696

00:23:48,410 --> 00:23:49,694

Dane Cook: And I looked at the internet as man, that

697

00:23:49,754 --> 00:23:51,780

Dane Cook: is one big crowd on the street that you

698

00:23:51,820 --> 00:23:54,876

Dane Cook: have the opportunity to to, you know, pal

699

00:23:54,896 --> 00:23:57,201

Dane Cook: around with and hopefully build up your

700

00:23:57,261 --> 00:23:58,023

Dane Cook: clientele.

701

00:23:58,250 --> 00:24:00,631

Dane Cook: You know your fans, your business, and I

702

00:24:00,651 --> 00:24:02,977

Dane Cook: would say within the first month and I mean

703

00:24:02,997 --> 00:24:05,511

Dane Cook: this, this is going to sound flowery and a

704

00:24:05,571 --> 00:24:08,971

Dane Cook: little bit like a bad movie scene I was

705

00:24:09,071 --> 00:24:12,941

Dane Cook: languishing in LA on my computer finding

706

00:24:12,981 --> 00:24:15,654

Dane Cook: MySpace And within a month I went from that

707

00:24:16,316 --> 00:24:19,170

Dane Cook: that guy who was doing this a lot Hmm, How

708

00:24:19,190 --> 00:24:22,155

Dane Cook: do I make my career to a month later saying

709

00:24:22,476 --> 00:24:24,720

Dane Cook: I'm about to take over the world with this.

710

00:24:25,421 --> 00:24:25,662

Marc Preston: Really.

711

00:24:25,922 --> 00:24:28,513

Dane Cook: Oh, a month, A month later after I started,

712

00:24:28,573 --> 00:24:31,378

Dane Cook: i had my first 2,500 followers from zero,

713

00:24:31,939 --> 00:24:33,943

Dane Cook: from sharing links of my comedy.

714

00:24:34,130 --> 00:24:37,300

Dane Cook: And when I hit that 2,500 and then I hit

715

00:24:37,419 --> 00:24:40,373

Dane Cook: 5,000 within six weeks I sat at that

716

00:24:40,492 --> 00:24:42,513

Dane Cook: computer and I said I'm going to sit here

717

00:24:42,573 --> 00:24:45,560

Dane Cook: 23 hours a day until that number is 5

718

00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:46,322

Dane Cook: million people.

719

00:24:46,810 --> 00:24:49,330

Dane Cook: And we got there within about two years I

720

00:24:49,370 --> 00:24:51,675

Dane Cook: had 5 million people and I didn't have to

721

00:24:51,695 --> 00:24:53,920

Dane Cook: wait for Hollywood or industry or anybody

722

00:24:53,980 --> 00:24:54,300

Dane Cook: anymore.

723

00:24:54,341 --> 00:24:55,202

Dane Cook: I could do it myself.

724

00:24:55,850 --> 00:24:56,936

Marc Preston: And one of the things that is so

725

00:24:57,037 --> 00:24:57,781

Marc Preston: fascinating to me.

726

00:24:57,821 --> 00:24:58,787

Marc Preston: there is a young lady.

727

00:24:58,988 --> 00:25:00,273

Marc Preston: I say young lady, she's 23.

728

00:25:01,770 --> 00:25:04,652

Marc Preston: She's one of the superhero people And I

729

00:25:05,013 --> 00:25:07,378

Marc Preston: look just kind of generally looking around,

730

00:25:07,418 --> 00:25:09,923

Marc Preston: i'm like, oh, instagram, 1.5 million.

731

00:25:10,010 --> 00:25:12,838

Marc Preston: I'm like, gee, many Christmas, are you

732

00:25:12,859 --> 00:25:13,220

Marc Preston: kidding me?

733

00:25:13,690 --> 00:25:14,573

Marc Preston: I was like, how is that even?

734

00:25:15,196 --> 00:25:16,340

Marc Preston: what would I do with that?

735

00:25:16,842 --> 00:25:19,792

Marc Preston: you know, that is I was already working

736

00:25:19,812 --> 00:25:21,736

Marc Preston: successful in radio in Dallas, you know.

737

00:25:22,218 --> 00:25:23,621

Marc Preston: but I'm making 1.5 million.

738

00:25:24,190 --> 00:25:26,272

Marc Preston: That's a pretty big thing And that, those

739

00:25:26,312 --> 00:25:29,780

Marc Preston: kind of numbers back circa my space days,

740

00:25:29,980 --> 00:25:31,992

Marc Preston: that's a big, that's even bigger of a deal,

741

00:25:32,092 --> 00:25:34,338

Marc Preston: because people really hadn't embraced it

742

00:25:34,539 --> 00:25:35,341

Marc Preston: quite the same way.

743

00:25:35,930 --> 00:25:37,735

Dane Cook: You would think of it almost like I

744

00:25:37,775 --> 00:25:39,901

Dane Cook: describe it when I, when I mentor young

745

00:25:40,081 --> 00:25:43,117

Dane Cook: people that are building their you know,

746

00:25:43,157 --> 00:25:44,340

Dane Cook: building their online presence.

747

00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,315

Dane Cook: Even today, i tell them think of it like

748

00:25:46,335 --> 00:25:48,994

Dane Cook: this If you had a brick and mortar and

749

00:25:49,115 --> 00:25:52,241

Dane Cook: suddenly on day, one ribbon cut, a thousand

750

00:25:52,342 --> 00:25:55,861

Dane Cook: people walked into your widget shop, you

751

00:25:55,901 --> 00:25:58,669

Dane Cook: would say I need to do anything and

752

00:25:58,729 --> 00:26:00,453

Dane Cook: everything possible to make sure the

753

00:26:00,513 --> 00:26:03,728

Dane Cook: experience for these thousand people that

754

00:26:03,768 --> 00:26:05,972

Dane Cook: they go and tell one or two or three other

755

00:26:06,032 --> 00:26:08,698

Dane Cook: people this is the shop you want to come to.

756

00:26:09,245 --> 00:26:11,031

Dane Cook: I looked at it and I still, to this day,

757

00:26:11,432 --> 00:26:12,194

Dane Cook: look at it like this.

758

00:26:12,485 --> 00:26:15,272

Dane Cook: If you have 20, 50 people that come in, are

759

00:26:15,353 --> 00:26:17,366

Dane Cook: interested in what you do, if you can get

760

00:26:17,607 --> 00:26:19,834

Dane Cook: 50 people onto your page, guess what?

761

00:26:20,365 --> 00:26:22,653

Dane Cook: You can get 50,000 people.

762

00:26:22,965 --> 00:26:26,208

Dane Cook: You can get 5 million people, it's all the

763

00:26:26,268 --> 00:26:26,670

Dane Cook: same.

764

00:26:27,305 --> 00:26:29,531

Dane Cook: It's really the response to what it is that

765

00:26:29,551 --> 00:26:31,216

Dane Cook: you're putting the effort, the heart and

766

00:26:31,256 --> 00:26:33,552

Dane Cook: soul you put into your digital brick and

767

00:26:33,592 --> 00:26:33,893

Dane Cook: mortar.

768

00:26:34,605 --> 00:26:35,970

Marc Preston: That's so funny to say mentor.

769

00:26:36,411 --> 00:26:37,194

Marc Preston: It's kind of being at that age.

770

00:26:37,525 --> 00:26:39,572

Marc Preston: I think you literally are only a few months

771

00:26:39,692 --> 00:26:40,415

Marc Preston: older than I am.

772

00:26:40,485 --> 00:26:42,874

Marc Preston: I think I was born February 73.

773

00:26:42,945 --> 00:26:44,271

Marc Preston: I think you're just a few months older.

774

00:26:45,166 --> 00:26:47,774

Marc Preston: I'm at that phase where the mentoring thing

775

00:26:48,918 --> 00:26:51,345

Marc Preston: it's cool because I look back at the people

776

00:26:51,566 --> 00:26:52,410

Marc Preston: that I looked at.

777

00:26:52,450 --> 00:26:54,620

Marc Preston: these old radio dudes who were rocking in

778

00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,327

Marc Preston: the 60s and 70s had the good stories to

779

00:26:56,367 --> 00:26:58,888

Marc Preston: tell When it came to mentoring.

780

00:26:59,149 --> 00:27:03,922

Marc Preston: Who were you looking at, either just from

781

00:27:03,982 --> 00:27:06,108

Marc Preston: afar or people directly that were saying,

782

00:27:06,168 --> 00:27:08,435

Marc Preston: okay, Dane, let's check it.

783

00:27:08,565 --> 00:27:09,629

Marc Preston: Here's what we need to be thinking about.

784

00:27:10,845 --> 00:27:11,807

Marc Preston: Who are some of those people?

785

00:27:12,228 --> 00:27:14,815

Marc Preston: comedy, even outside of comedy, early on.

786

00:27:16,006 --> 00:27:16,608

Dane Cook: Well, i had.

787

00:27:16,669 --> 00:27:19,097

Dane Cook: My first and probably most influential

788

00:27:19,358 --> 00:27:21,405

Dane Cook: person in my life was my high school drama

789

00:27:21,525 --> 00:27:22,489

Dane Cook: teacher, frank Roberts.

790

00:27:23,565 --> 00:27:25,515

Dane Cook: Frank was the first person outside of my

791

00:27:25,575 --> 00:27:27,444

Dane Cook: home to look at me and say something that I

792

00:27:27,505 --> 00:27:29,612

Dane Cook: never thought I'd hear, which is you have

793

00:27:29,692 --> 00:27:30,073

Dane Cook: talent.

794

00:27:31,227 --> 00:27:32,452

Dane Cook: I didn't even know what to do with that.

795

00:27:33,267 --> 00:27:35,693

Dane Cook: I was thrilled and terrified.

796

00:27:36,175 --> 00:27:36,796

Dane Cook: I said I do.

797

00:27:37,085 --> 00:27:39,271

Dane Cook: He said I've been teaching class here for

798

00:27:39,352 --> 00:27:40,254

Dane Cook: 20-some odd years.

799

00:27:40,925 --> 00:27:42,509

Dane Cook: I tell you, when you took that stage today

800

00:27:42,549 --> 00:27:44,895

Dane Cook: and did A, b and C, he said you have

801

00:27:44,975 --> 00:27:45,897

Dane Cook: natural ability.

802

00:27:46,325 --> 00:27:47,409

Dane Cook: Then he said something which I really

803

00:27:47,450 --> 00:27:47,911

Dane Cook: needed to hear.

804

00:27:48,245 --> 00:27:49,852

Dane Cook: He said but you have a lot of fear in you.

805

00:27:50,506 --> 00:27:52,594

Dane Cook: I'd like to help you to understand your

806

00:27:52,635 --> 00:27:55,084

Dane Cook: fear, but I really want to help you to get

807

00:27:55,144 --> 00:27:57,531

Dane Cook: on that stage and to be able to expand upon

808

00:27:57,571 --> 00:27:59,836

Dane Cook: what I'm seeing when you stand up there.

809

00:28:00,586 --> 00:28:02,629

Dane Cook: I could not have asked for a better angel

810

00:28:03,211 --> 00:28:06,777

Dane Cook: to come down and help me on my way.

811

00:28:06,837 --> 00:28:07,839

Dane Cook: In terms of the arts.

812

00:28:08,165 --> 00:28:09,448

Dane Cook: My family could be supportive, but they

813

00:28:09,469 --> 00:28:11,815

Dane Cook: didn't understand the business side of

814

00:28:11,855 --> 00:28:12,176

Dane Cook: things.

815

00:28:12,605 --> 00:28:14,349

Dane Cook: I mean, frank really instilled a lot of

816

00:28:14,409 --> 00:28:16,414

Dane Cook: values in me that I use to this day.

817

00:28:17,885 --> 00:28:19,369

Marc Preston: That is something when somebody that you

818

00:28:19,409 --> 00:28:21,154

Marc Preston: respect, that you think actually is in the

819

00:28:21,194 --> 00:28:23,205

Marc Preston: game, or they just know something, when

820

00:28:23,368 --> 00:28:26,395

Marc Preston: they recognize and say you can do this, or

821

00:28:26,558 --> 00:28:27,265

Marc Preston: just kind of.

822

00:28:27,428 --> 00:28:29,964

Marc Preston: I know my grandfather, always with a wink

823

00:28:29,984 --> 00:28:31,147

Marc Preston: in his eye, would say you're the most

824

00:28:31,248 --> 00:28:33,686

Marc Preston: hardheaded person I've ever met, because he

825

00:28:33,706 --> 00:28:35,373

Marc Preston: knew fundamentally you got to be hardheaded,

826

00:28:35,445 --> 00:28:37,612

Marc Preston: you got to be just have that torque and

827

00:28:37,652 --> 00:28:38,415

Marc Preston: push through things.

828

00:28:38,585 --> 00:28:40,008

Marc Preston: He knew that's what it was going to take

829

00:28:40,029 --> 00:28:41,512

Marc Preston: for me to achieve whatever I did.

830

00:28:41,592 --> 00:28:43,718

Marc Preston: I think I I'm sorry, go ahead.

831

00:28:44,026 --> 00:28:45,249

Dane Cook: No, i was going to say, i think what I took

832

00:28:45,289 --> 00:28:47,234

Dane Cook: from Frank and probably a little bit of my

833

00:28:48,165 --> 00:28:52,437

Dane Cook: dad and mom and put all these assembled,

834

00:28:52,497 --> 00:28:54,583

Dane Cook: all these traits, what you would call a

835

00:28:54,784 --> 00:28:57,269

Dane Cook: person's character, and I think what I

836

00:28:57,410 --> 00:28:59,459

Dane Cook: realized and what I continue to try to grow

837

00:28:59,660 --> 00:29:01,366

Dane Cook: on and what I really like to share with

838

00:29:01,406 --> 00:29:04,032

Dane Cook: young people that I talk to, is it was the

839

00:29:04,072 --> 00:29:10,186

Dane Cook: ability to be no bullshit, tough as nails,

840

00:29:10,246 --> 00:29:12,852

Dane Cook: assertive, with as much tenderness and

841

00:29:12,912 --> 00:29:15,417

Dane Cook: heart as you could ever expect or want from

842

00:29:15,477 --> 00:29:15,798

Dane Cook: somebody.

843

00:29:16,225 --> 00:29:19,191

Dane Cook: And if you can find that ability to be that

844

00:29:19,512 --> 00:29:21,977

Dane Cook: honest and give people your power in some

845

00:29:22,057 --> 00:29:23,952

Dane Cook: sense, because you know you're tough enough

846

00:29:23,992 --> 00:29:26,284

Dane Cook: to take it back or stand up for it, i think

847

00:29:26,324 --> 00:29:28,390

Dane Cook: that's a nice way to be able to pivot and

848

00:29:28,430 --> 00:29:30,876

Dane Cook: move with the world that's ever changing

849

00:29:30,936 --> 00:29:31,317

Dane Cook: around you.

850

00:29:31,405 --> 00:29:33,490

Dane Cook: You got to be tough, but you got to have a

851

00:29:33,531 --> 00:29:35,496

Dane Cook: lot of love in you and a lot of heart.

852

00:29:38,011 --> 00:29:39,114

Marc Preston: I could not agree more.

853

00:29:39,745 --> 00:29:40,628

Marc Preston: I saw there's this quote.

854

00:29:40,729 --> 00:29:43,248

Marc Preston: I like I'm mangling it, but it says you

855

00:29:43,368 --> 00:29:45,995

Marc Preston: know, basically make decisions from love,

856

00:29:46,115 --> 00:29:46,556

Marc Preston: not fear.

857

00:29:47,325 --> 00:29:48,550

Marc Preston: One of the things that's funny when Emma

858

00:29:48,631 --> 00:29:51,785

Marc Preston: I'm sorry, my daughter, my 17, almost 17

859

00:29:51,805 --> 00:29:53,646

Marc Preston: year old was in her appointment, i'm

860

00:29:53,666 --> 00:29:55,291

Marc Preston: sitting there just where's Dane showing up,

861

00:29:56,045 --> 00:29:59,931

Marc Preston: like in a podcast, and how cool it was that

862

00:30:00,011 --> 00:30:02,417

Marc Preston: you were Bob Saget's last interview on his

863

00:30:02,457 --> 00:30:07,119

Marc Preston: podcast And I'm like that was such a great

864

00:30:07,159 --> 00:30:08,644

Marc Preston: thing to hear because nobody said anything

865

00:30:08,665 --> 00:30:09,945

Marc Preston: ever bad about Bob Saget.

866

00:30:10,166 --> 00:30:11,933

Marc Preston: You know, i mean to have that reputation.

867

00:30:13,398 --> 00:30:14,683

Marc Preston: Just touching on that for a moment.

868

00:30:14,764 --> 00:30:17,588

Marc Preston: I spoke right after he passed away Another

869

00:30:17,608 --> 00:30:19,435

Marc Preston: comedian, craig Shoemaker.

870

00:30:19,455 --> 00:30:21,804

Marc Preston: I spoke with him and because it was right

871

00:30:21,844 --> 00:30:23,626

Marc Preston: after he had passed away, what was your

872

00:30:23,766 --> 00:30:26,272

Marc Preston: feeling sitting down talking with him and

873

00:30:26,292 --> 00:30:28,177

Marc Preston: just your opinion of Bob Saget, just in

874

00:30:28,237 --> 00:30:28,598

Marc Preston: general.

875

00:30:29,286 --> 00:30:31,449

Dane Cook: Well, the conversation working back from

876

00:30:31,469 --> 00:30:37,058

Dane Cook: there was spirited and unbridled and very

877

00:30:37,138 --> 00:30:41,673

Dane Cook: loving And he shared stories with his

878

00:30:41,893 --> 00:30:45,141

Dane Cook: viewers and myself that I thought were so I

879

00:30:45,201 --> 00:30:45,422

Dane Cook: would.

880

00:30:45,622 --> 00:30:47,813

Dane Cook: I would even say poetic, beautiful

881

00:30:48,294 --> 00:30:50,884

Dane Cook: sentiment about Robin Williams, stories

882

00:30:50,904 --> 00:30:53,247

Dane Cook: that he never shared before And it really

883

00:30:53,507 --> 00:30:54,952

Dane Cook: touched my heart that he was, you know,

884

00:30:54,972 --> 00:30:55,554

Dane Cook: sharing those stories.

885

00:30:55,605 --> 00:30:56,748

Marc Preston: Yeah, it was, by the way.

886

00:30:56,768 --> 00:30:58,593

Marc Preston: For those who haven't heard it yet, by all

887

00:30:58,633 --> 00:30:59,476

Marc Preston: means go listen to it.

888

00:30:59,945 --> 00:31:01,811

Marc Preston: But he's talked about he was on the set of

889

00:31:02,212 --> 00:31:02,733

Marc Preston: what was the movie.

890

00:31:02,773 --> 00:31:03,756

Marc Preston: It was a big ship.

891

00:31:04,779 --> 00:31:05,140

Marc Preston: What was that?

892

00:31:05,461 --> 00:31:08,169

Marc Preston: Hook, hook, yeah, and then Steven Spielberg,

893

00:31:08,189 --> 00:31:09,855

Marc Preston: of course, and so he just played around.

894

00:31:10,727 --> 00:31:12,594

Marc Preston: I'm like that was such a cool story.

895

00:31:12,765 --> 00:31:14,009

Marc Preston: It's cool whenever somebody's like you know,

896

00:31:14,029 --> 00:31:15,273

Marc Preston: i've never told the story of him before,

897

00:31:15,373 --> 00:31:18,032

Marc Preston: but and like you know to have Bob Saget

898

00:31:18,052 --> 00:31:20,712

Marc Preston: tell you that, but had you spent time with

899

00:31:20,752 --> 00:31:22,468

Marc Preston: him before, i mean leading up to that, or

900

00:31:22,488 --> 00:31:24,173

Marc Preston: had he been in your ecosystem?

901

00:31:24,414 --> 00:31:26,621

Dane Cook: Yeah, he's been in my life for so many

902

00:31:26,662 --> 00:31:28,068

Dane Cook: years And he was actually.

903

00:31:28,168 --> 00:31:31,056

Dane Cook: I met him in Boston in the mid-90s when I

904

00:31:31,096 --> 00:31:32,889

Dane Cook: was coming up, and I actually got to say to

905

00:31:32,949 --> 00:31:36,803

Dane Cook: him when he was on top of the entertainment

906

00:31:36,843 --> 00:31:38,588

Dane Cook: world in terms of Full House and he had

907

00:31:38,628 --> 00:31:41,094

Dane Cook: America's Funniest Videos and we all knew

908

00:31:41,194 --> 00:31:43,667

Dane Cook: that as a stand-up he'd not only broken

909

00:31:43,687 --> 00:31:48,010

Dane Cook: through but he was wealthy, he was popular,

910

00:31:48,485 --> 00:31:50,072

Dane Cook: he had taken comedy to this place.

911

00:31:50,165 --> 00:31:51,390

Dane Cook: We all wanted to be.

912

00:31:52,105 --> 00:31:53,449

Dane Cook: And I remember saying to him you know,

913

00:31:53,489 --> 00:31:55,516

Dane Cook: you're a real inspiration to me.

914

00:31:55,605 --> 00:31:57,390

Dane Cook: And this is when I was, just you know, wet

915

00:31:57,430 --> 00:32:00,225

Dane Cook: behind the ears back in Beantown When I

916

00:32:00,245 --> 00:32:03,393

Dane Cook: finally landed in LA at 98, we bumped into

917

00:32:03,413 --> 00:32:05,318

Dane Cook: each other at the Comedy Club Live Factory,

918

00:32:05,465 --> 00:32:08,153

Dane Cook: probably two weeks later and he just became

919

00:32:08,193 --> 00:32:10,568

Dane Cook: a fast friend And we just continued over

920

00:32:10,589 --> 00:32:12,955

Dane Cook: the years to have that rapport.

921

00:32:13,405 --> 00:32:16,312

Dane Cook: He was nice enough to invite me to this

922

00:32:16,352 --> 00:32:19,507

Dane Cook: Sclerodorm charity events And I would try

923

00:32:19,527 --> 00:32:21,411

Dane Cook: to help him out and do some shows with him

924

00:32:21,491 --> 00:32:24,157

Dane Cook: to bring some attention to that.

925

00:32:25,105 --> 00:32:28,256

Dane Cook: I mean, i was so proud to be able to help

926

00:32:28,337 --> 00:32:30,665

Dane Cook: him when he needed me, but even more so to

927

00:32:30,765 --> 00:32:33,830

Dane Cook: say he was my buddy and that after he'd

928

00:32:33,890 --> 00:32:37,256

Dane Cook: passed, of course, i was so like gobsmacked

929

00:32:37,296 --> 00:32:40,427

Dane Cook: and shocked, but to have had that last

930

00:32:40,488 --> 00:32:42,754

Dane Cook: conversation was such a beautiful gift.

931

00:32:43,516 --> 00:32:45,289

Marc Preston: Yeah, it was in fact.

932

00:32:45,309 --> 00:32:46,893

Marc Preston: I think Bill Burr did the intro to it.

933

00:32:46,933 --> 00:32:49,170

Marc Preston: if I'm not mistaken, it was kind of the

934

00:32:49,190 --> 00:32:49,612

Marc Preston: intro to the show.

935

00:32:49,685 --> 00:32:51,328

Marc Preston: Hey, by the way, i guess that's a spot

936

00:32:51,448 --> 00:32:55,797

Marc Preston: normally where Bob Saga would have done his

937

00:32:55,857 --> 00:32:56,478

Marc Preston: intro to the show.

938

00:32:57,526 --> 00:33:00,352

Dane Cook: I think Bill's company was running the

939

00:33:00,453 --> 00:33:02,257

Dane Cook: podcast at the time.

940

00:33:03,488 --> 00:33:05,937

Dane Cook: I never saw the intro, but that would make

941

00:33:06,037 --> 00:33:06,318

Dane Cook: sense.

942

00:33:06,358 --> 00:33:09,548

Dane Cook: That maybe Bill had recorded something for

943

00:33:09,748 --> 00:33:12,473

Dane Cook: his comedy podcast company is to say we're

944

00:33:12,493 --> 00:33:13,115

Dane Cook: presenting this.

945

00:33:13,475 --> 00:33:14,698

Marc Preston: Yeah, i mean it was a wonder.

946

00:33:15,325 --> 00:33:16,233

Marc Preston: I still haven't had a chance to hear the

947

00:33:16,273 --> 00:33:17,565

Marc Preston: whole thing because my daughter got in the

948

00:33:17,625 --> 00:33:19,271

Marc Preston: car and she of course wants music on.

949

00:33:20,005 --> 00:33:21,510

Marc Preston: Just one more note on the comedy thing in

950

00:33:21,530 --> 00:33:24,409

Marc Preston: the background Who are the guys that you

951

00:33:24,449 --> 00:33:25,654

Marc Preston: were when you started?

952

00:33:26,467 --> 00:33:28,331

Marc Preston: Okay, when you put it in fifth gear and

953

00:33:28,351 --> 00:33:29,834

Marc Preston: you're really going, who are the guys that

954

00:33:29,854 --> 00:33:31,338

Marc Preston: you were checking in with?

955

00:33:31,565 --> 00:33:34,192

Marc Preston: Who was kind of your tribe that you were

956

00:33:34,232 --> 00:33:35,936

Marc Preston: either looking up to, or guys that you were

957

00:33:35,956 --> 00:33:37,268

Marc Preston: like you know you wanted to go see their

958

00:33:37,288 --> 00:33:37,629

Marc Preston: shows?

959

00:33:39,034 --> 00:33:39,355

Dane Cook: Wow.

960

00:33:39,525 --> 00:33:42,775

Dane Cook: Well, there was absolutely a lot of comics.

961

00:33:43,005 --> 00:33:45,109

Dane Cook: Once I landed in New York City that I was

962

00:33:45,189 --> 00:33:48,636

Dane Cook: seeing around me in real time were fast

963

00:33:48,697 --> 00:33:52,974

Dane Cook: becoming the next superstars in comedy.

964

00:33:53,685 --> 00:33:56,111

Dane Cook: You name a comic, whether it's Dice or

965

00:33:56,192 --> 00:33:59,179

Dane Cook: Seinfeld or Roseanne.

966

00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,767

Dane Cook: Everybody from that era that really 80s,

967

00:34:01,867 --> 00:34:03,072

Dane Cook: 90s was blowing up.

968

00:34:04,088 --> 00:34:04,991

Marc Preston: It wasn't that amazing.

969

00:34:05,925 --> 00:34:07,241

Marc Preston: Do you think we're going to get an era like

970

00:34:07,282 --> 00:34:07,565

Marc Preston: that again?

971

00:34:07,565 --> 00:34:08,809

Marc Preston: I don't mean to cut you off, but you

972

00:34:08,830 --> 00:34:09,432

Marc Preston: mentioned something.

973

00:34:10,125 --> 00:34:11,350

Marc Preston: Do you think that's going to take a swing

974

00:34:12,153 --> 00:34:12,373

Marc Preston: back?

975

00:34:12,525 --> 00:34:13,548

Marc Preston: We're going to see an era like that in

976

00:34:13,588 --> 00:34:14,351

Marc Preston: comedy come back?

977

00:34:15,153 --> 00:34:15,755

Dane Cook: I think we will.

978

00:34:16,085 --> 00:34:17,810

Dane Cook: I just think it's probably going to be in

979

00:34:17,830 --> 00:34:20,525

Dane Cook: that kind of newfangled tech way And I

980

00:34:20,565 --> 00:34:22,470

Dane Cook: think in some regards we're seeing it now

981

00:34:22,510 --> 00:34:24,134

Dane Cook: because comics are so much more

982

00:34:24,254 --> 00:34:27,049

Dane Cook: entrepreneurial, they're more 24 hour a day,

983

00:34:27,770 --> 00:34:31,607

Dane Cook: multi hyphenated business people, and so I

984

00:34:31,647 --> 00:34:34,698

Dane Cook: think that the era of comedy meeting

985

00:34:34,758 --> 00:34:36,504

Dane Cook: whatever the next version of what we're

986

00:34:36,525 --> 00:34:39,751

Dane Cook: doing here is probably going to have its

987

00:34:39,891 --> 00:34:42,096

Dane Cook: moment again in terms of changing the

988

00:34:42,136 --> 00:34:43,158

Dane Cook: landscape of stand up.

989

00:34:44,427 --> 00:34:45,891

Marc Preston: And those guys that you're watching, like

990

00:34:46,613 --> 00:34:49,089

Marc Preston: Karlin was still around back then, and yet

991

00:34:49,149 --> 00:34:50,634

Marc Preston: who are people that you wanted to go see?

992

00:34:50,725 --> 00:34:52,169

Marc Preston: Who are people like I want to be in the

993

00:34:52,229 --> 00:34:54,034

Marc Preston: audience watching and picking up on that

994

00:34:54,074 --> 00:34:54,415

Marc Preston: energy.

995

00:34:54,515 --> 00:34:55,993

Dane Cook: Oh, yeah, well, karlin.

996

00:34:56,020 --> 00:34:57,732

Dane Cook: I saw Karlin at the South Shore Music

997

00:34:57,759 --> 00:34:59,478

Dane Cook: Center and a week later, after I was at the

998

00:34:59,518 --> 00:35:01,300

Dane Cook: Hampton Beach Casino, he was there.

999

00:35:02,425 --> 00:35:05,654

Dane Cook: Karlin was just a major contributor to the

Speaker:
1000

00:35:05,694 --> 00:35:06,777

Dane Cook: kind of comedy I wanted to do.

Speaker:
1001

00:35:06,925 --> 00:35:09,527

Dane Cook: When I got to LA, pryor was still here And

Speaker:
1002

00:35:09,547 --> 00:35:10,970

Dane Cook: he was still doing some shows, even though

Speaker:
1003

00:35:10,991 --> 00:35:11,973

Dane Cook: he'd been dealing with MS.

Speaker:
1004

00:35:13,365 --> 00:35:14,490

Dane Cook: He was around Los Angeles.

Speaker:
1005

00:35:15,066 --> 00:35:16,850

Dane Cook: I was desperately waiting for Eddie Murphy

Speaker:
1006

00:35:16,910 --> 00:35:18,915

Dane Cook: to perform stand up again.

Speaker:
1007

00:35:18,975 --> 00:35:21,446

Dane Cook: We all were, we all still are, but he was

Speaker:
1008

00:35:21,486 --> 00:35:23,553

Dane Cook: somebody that I definitely looked up to.

Speaker:
1009

00:35:24,125 --> 00:35:26,213

Dane Cook: But if I'm going to be very transparent,

Speaker:
1010

00:35:26,474 --> 00:35:28,603

Dane Cook: Marc, the thing that was probably

Speaker:
1011

00:35:28,703 --> 00:35:31,870

Dane Cook: interesting and difficult was there wasn't

Speaker:
1012

00:35:32,030 --> 00:35:35,116

Dane Cook: anybody from my era.

Speaker:
1013

00:35:35,436 --> 00:35:37,767

Dane Cook: That was that I was the one at the front of

Speaker:
1014

00:35:37,807 --> 00:35:39,272

Dane Cook: that moment, except for, maybe.

Speaker:
1015

00:35:41,549 --> 00:35:41,889

Marc Preston: Yeah, that's.

Speaker:
1016

00:35:42,491 --> 00:35:43,774

Marc Preston: That's kind of where I was getting at,

Speaker:
1017

00:35:43,794 --> 00:35:45,558

Marc Preston: because there was no template.

Speaker:
1018

00:35:45,805 --> 00:35:48,351

Dane Cook: There was no contemporary template.

Speaker:
1019

00:35:48,392 --> 00:35:49,635

Marc Preston: Yeah, no, you were doing something.

Speaker:
1020

00:35:49,795 --> 00:35:50,397

Marc Preston: I saw you on stage.

Speaker:
1021

00:35:50,765 --> 00:35:53,511

Dane Cook: I would say dice in a way a little bit

Speaker:
1022

00:35:53,611 --> 00:35:55,575

Dane Cook: earlier because he could command that big

Speaker:
1023

00:35:56,036 --> 00:35:58,648

Dane Cook: arena thing, But I don't want to say stick,

Speaker:
1024

00:35:58,668 --> 00:36:00,753

Dane Cook: because that demeans what I think even dice

Speaker:
1025

00:36:00,833 --> 00:36:05,506

Dane Cook: was in the pre Internet realm, so that was

Speaker:
1026

00:36:05,586 --> 00:36:07,973

Dane Cook: all kind of like the old standard network

Speaker:
1027

00:36:08,033 --> 00:36:10,848

Dane Cook: or HBO, but nobody had done this thing

Speaker:
1028

00:36:10,928 --> 00:36:14,255

Dane Cook: where it was completely outside of the

Speaker:
1029

00:36:14,396 --> 00:36:16,547

Dane Cook: industry, you know, putting the sword on

Speaker:
1030

00:36:16,567 --> 00:36:17,832

Dane Cook: you and saying you've been christened,

Speaker:
1031

00:36:17,852 --> 00:36:18,233

Dane Cook: you're in.

Speaker:
1032

00:36:19,407 --> 00:36:22,809

Dane Cook: It was like the self made era I was really

Speaker:
1033

00:36:22,849 --> 00:36:25,279

Dane Cook: at the precipice of, but I was watching

Speaker:
1034

00:36:25,339 --> 00:36:27,086

Dane Cook: Chappelle next to me, because we both came

Speaker:
1035

00:36:27,146 --> 00:36:29,286

Dane Cook: up together out of New York And I was

Speaker:
1036

00:36:29,326 --> 00:36:34,198

Dane Cook: seeing this incredibly gifted comedian

Speaker:
1037

00:36:34,438 --> 00:36:36,343

Dane Cook: saying all right, him and I seem to be

Speaker:
1038

00:36:36,944 --> 00:36:39,371

Dane Cook: having the experience of leading the charge

Speaker:
1039

00:36:39,431 --> 00:36:41,516

Dane Cook: of the next generation of standups.

Speaker:
1040

00:36:41,905 --> 00:36:46,495

Marc Preston: I think comedy is so it is very digestible

Speaker:
1041

00:36:46,535 --> 00:36:47,958

Marc Preston: and important social commentary.

Speaker:
1042

00:36:48,105 --> 00:36:49,995

Marc Preston: I'd say, like if I was to say, if I was to

Speaker:
1043

00:36:50,015 --> 00:36:51,944

Marc Preston: put on a sociologist hat and pretend like I

Speaker:
1044

00:36:51,965 --> 00:36:52,827

Marc Preston: was one for a moment.

Speaker:
1045

00:36:52,867 --> 00:36:55,293

Marc Preston: I'm like, if you look back over, i mean man

Speaker:
1046

00:36:55,334 --> 00:36:57,448

Marc Preston: Karlin, like right now did he not get it

Marc Preston: if you look at her current era, we're

Speaker:
1049

00:36:59,834 --> 00:37:01,745

Marc Preston: living in things he was commenting on a

Speaker:
1050

00:37:01,765 --> 00:37:03,571

Marc Preston: really kind of on point right now.

Speaker:
1051

00:37:05,546 --> 00:37:07,958

Marc Preston: But now the transition though I don't call

Speaker:
1052

00:37:07,998 --> 00:37:09,224

Marc Preston: it transition because I think you were

Speaker:
1053

00:37:09,264 --> 00:37:11,631

Marc Preston: doing two things in tandem be both on stage

Speaker:
1054

00:37:11,711 --> 00:37:12,574

Marc Preston: thing manifest for you?

Speaker:
1060

00:37:20,626 --> 00:37:22,591

Dane Cook: Well, Marc, a lot of that really just came

Speaker:
1061

00:37:22,671 --> 00:37:23,875

Dane Cook: from people who are fans.

Speaker:
1062

00:37:23,935 --> 00:37:25,207

Dane Cook: you know, some of these producers and

Speaker:
1063

00:37:25,247 --> 00:37:27,012

Dane Cook: directors were kind of coming up the ranks

1070

00:37:41,070 --> 00:37:43,176

Dane Cook: would say today like algorithm data, like

Speaker:
1138

00:40:05,449 --> 00:40:07,132

Marc Preston: That is I.

Speaker:
1147

00:40:24,611 --> 00:40:25,917

Marc Preston: Just it's so funny because you say those

Speaker:
1148

00:40:25,998 --> 00:40:27,826

Marc Preston: names and I think just because of age, i

Speaker:
1149

00:40:27,846 --> 00:40:29,975

Marc Preston: think there could be some younger people

Speaker:
1150

00:40:29,995 --> 00:40:32,344

Marc Preston: listening who aren't as familiar that you

Speaker:
1151

Speaker:
1152

Marc Preston: Their OG is maybe will Ferrell days or

Speaker:
1153

00:40:35,155 --> 00:40:37,303

1236

00:43:17,219 --> 00:43:19,827

Dane Cook: They want good radio and that means, even

Speaker:
1237

00:43:19,867 --> 00:43:21,972

Dane Cook: if you come in, i don't drink, but if you

Speaker:
1238

00:43:21,992 --> 00:43:24,798

Dane Cook: came in drunk, or if you came in talking

Speaker:
1239

00:43:24,818 --> 00:43:28,051

Speaker:
1240

00:43:28,091 --> 00:43:30,980

Speaker:
1241

00:43:31,060 --> 00:43:32,445

Dane Cook: their mission statement, you know?

Speaker:
1242

Speaker:
1244

00:43:35,569 --> 00:43:37,255

Dane Cook: rather have you come on and say something

Speaker:
1245

00:43:37,765 --> 00:43:39,611

Dane Cook: Salacious, because they know that that was

Speaker:
1246

00:43:39,651 --> 00:43:41,396

1250

00:43:50,625 --> 00:43:52,730

Dane Cook: Still, even at that point, even in like

Speaker:
1251

00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,676

Dane Cook: early 2000s, i was so much more comfortable

Speaker:
1252

00:43:55,736 --> 00:44:00,451

Dane Cook: either on stage or Online but I was still

Speaker:
1253

00:44:00,611 --> 00:44:02,637

Dane Cook: not into the idea of doing more than radio.

Speaker:
1254

00:44:02,678 --> 00:44:04,363

Dane Cook: So here's something that I don't think I've

Speaker:
1255

00:44:04,403 --> 00:44:05,085

Speaker:
1258

00:44:11,861 --> 00:44:14,409

Dane Cook: couple of favors, because I didn't want a

Speaker:
1259

00:44:14,469 --> 00:44:17,956

Dane Cook: overtime online.

Speaker:
1261

00:44:19,966 --> 00:44:21,930

1262

00:44:22,010 --> 00:44:24,756

Dane Cook: region, i was like I'm not doing radio, i

1267

00:44:35,072 --> 00:44:38,239

Dane Cook: morning radio at a time in my life where I

1389

00:48:31,281 --> 00:48:32,928

Dane Cook: situation as such an incredible fan.

Speaker:
1545

00:53:33,589 --> 00:53:36,337

Dane Cook: Betty White enchanting.

Speaker:
1547

Dane Cook: And then, once you get to know her, her

Speaker:
1549

00:53:42,917 --> 00:53:44,963

Dane Cook: demeanor and, of course, her storytelling

Speaker:

Speaker:
1551

00:53:47,371 --> 00:53:48,034

Speaker:
1560

00:54:07,451 --> 00:54:07,671

Dane Cook: day?

Speaker:
1561

00:54:08,193 --> 00:54:09,945

Dane Cook: and she said I will tell you one thing that

Speaker:
1562

00:54:09,965 --> 00:54:11,913

Dane Cook: I remember about pretty much every week

Speaker:
1563

00:54:11,993 --> 00:54:12,997

Dane Cook: going to that show.

Speaker:
1564

00:54:13,017 --> 00:54:15,370

Dane Cook: She said there was always line changes at

Speaker:
1565

00:54:15,411 --> 00:54:16,658

Dane Cook: the end because the writers were so good

Speaker:
1566

00:54:16,718 --> 00:54:18,507

Dane Cook: that they would change a line last minute.

Speaker:
1567

00:54:19,070 --> 00:54:20,437

Dane Cook: And she said and there were so many things

Speaker:
1568

00:54:20,477 --> 00:54:22,103

Dane Cook: changing that we didn't always have all the

Speaker:
1569

00:54:22,143 --> 00:54:25,213

Dane Cook: time to learn everything we needed to know

Speaker:
1570

00:54:25,494 --> 00:54:26,798

Dane Cook: in terms of the line changes.

Speaker:
1571

00:54:26,818 --> 00:54:30,506

Dane Cook: She said sit down, watch any episode of

Speaker:
1572

00:54:30,567 --> 00:54:31,428

Dane Cook: Golden Girls.

Speaker:
1573

00:54:31,889 --> 00:54:33,572

Dane Cook: And she said and look, and she goes look

Speaker:
1574

00:54:33,613 --> 00:54:35,565

Dane Cook: for this and this is going to knock you out

Speaker:
1575

00:54:35,645 --> 00:54:35,886

Dane Cook: ready.

Speaker:
1576

00:54:36,267 --> 00:54:38,556

Dane Cook: She said whenever you see us holding a

Speaker:
1577

00:54:38,656 --> 00:54:41,285

Dane Cook: sugar packet in our hands, or if you see us

Speaker:
1578

00:54:41,385 --> 00:54:43,853

Dane Cook: holding the mug and talking to someone and

Speaker:
1579

00:54:43,934 --> 00:54:46,442

Dane Cook: looking in as we take a sip, she said we

Speaker:
1580

00:54:46,482 --> 00:54:48,568

Dane Cook: would write the lines we couldn't remember

Speaker:
1581

00:54:49,090 --> 00:54:51,257

Dane Cook: inside the coffee mug on white tape.

Speaker:
1582

00:54:51,699 --> 00:54:54,667

Dane Cook: Or we would write on the sugar packets and

Speaker:
1583

00:54:54,707 --> 00:54:57,315

Dane Cook: if you watch that show, you will see so

Speaker:
1584

00:54:57,355 --> 00:55:00,445

Dane Cook: many moments when Blanche or they stared

Speaker:
1585

00:55:00,465 --> 00:55:02,371

Dane Cook: that packet before they open it or they

Speaker:
1586

00:55:02,392 --> 00:55:03,636

Dane Cook: look in that, that mug.

Speaker:
1587

00:55:03,696 --> 00:55:05,544

Dane Cook: think it's.

Speaker:
1649

00:57:12,762 --> 00:57:15,747

Speaker:
1650

00:57:15,867 --> 00:57:20,120

Dane Cook: realizing that the words that you speak and

Speaker:
1651

00:57:20,141 --> 00:57:23,287

Dane Cook: the way that you treat people, um, when you

Speaker:
1652

00:57:23,307 --> 00:57:25,852

Dane Cook: put your head on your pillow, that's really

Speaker:
1653

Speaker:
1654

1655

00:57:31,616 --> 00:57:33,001

Dane Cook: At the end of that day, when you're getting

Speaker:
1656

00:57:33,042 --> 00:57:34,890

Dane Cook: in bed and settling down, you're not going

Speaker:
1657

00:57:34,910 --> 00:57:37,220

Dane Cook: to think so much about what you did or what

Speaker:
1658

00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:38,001

Dane Cook: you accomplished.

Speaker:
1659

00:57:38,501 --> 00:57:40,364

Dane Cook: I think you're thinking, you reminisce more

Speaker:
1660

00:57:40,404 --> 00:57:44,073

Dane Cook: about How did I treat people, how did I

Speaker:
1661

Dane Cook: impact people.

Speaker:
1662

00:57:45,005 --> 00:57:46,910

Dane Cook: I don't even think people realize that they

Speaker:
1663

00:57:46,950 --> 00:57:48,654

Dane Cook: are thinking those things sometimes because

Speaker:
1664

00:57:48,674 --> 00:57:50,848

Dane Cook: they might be embroiled in something

Speaker:
1665

00:57:50,908 --> 00:57:53,399

Dane Cook: stressful or dramatic, but I always like to

Speaker:

Speaker:
1679

00:58:19,426 --> 00:58:22,712

Speaker:
1680

00:58:22,772 --> 00:58:24,936

Dane Cook: was supposed to learn and understand even

Speaker:
1681
