Hello Joe.
Hello Jason.
Today's your big day.
You're doing stand-up.
Stand-up comedy at the Irvine Improv featuring Jason Nash, his first headlining show in
Southern California.
Ever?
Yeah.
Actually?
I think so.
Yeah.
I never headlined anything before.
Is it sold out?
Uh, yeah.
Is there anything that you're nervous about today?
Yeah, you know there's always this fear with stand-up that like, I mean I went through
it yesterday and I felt really good about it, but there's always this fear with stand-up
that like, I don't know, you're just going to freeze and just like forget it.
You're Jason.
No, I know.
But then like you just forget that like, you just feel like, oh am I just going to black
out up there?
And then be like, uh.
But of course that never happens because, you know, there's people there and they give
you a lot.
How long's your set?
A 45.
A solid 45 or like 25?
I did it right here yesterday and it was, it was 35 minutes with no laughs.
So today it's going to be another 35 minutes with no laughs?
Yeah.
So let's call it 35.
Also like as you go, there's, there's just things you add that you don't plan on adding,
so I'm hoping.
I don't know.
Do you have any surprises?
Just you.
Ayy!
Oh, I heard Calvillo's coming?
Calvillo's coming.
Who else?
Elton's opening.
Which is really nice of him.
He doesn't need to do that, but he was totally down.
Who else is opening?
Anyone else?
Just Elton.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
That's exciting.
Yeah, he'll be great.
How many people is it going to be?
It should be like 300.
Wow!
I think, uh.
That's really good.
Yeah, it'll be alright.
Good for you.
Thanks, man.
I'm excited to see you bomb.
Like, great.
Do great.
Do good.
Sorry, I spit on my hand before.
Yeah, I know.
I can feel it.
You've been spitting, you're spitting on your hands again?
I thought, I thought you stopped that.
No, it's, it's moisturizer, so it makes my hands clammy.
Right.
I mean, there's Lubaderm, Aveeno.
Those things work great, too.
Teach his own.
Behind the scenes of Jason Nash before his show while he's peeing.
Jason, can I come in?
How come it's locked?
Joe, listen.
I appreciate how out shot of a canon you are this morning.
I don't know if you had a Red Bull, but if, when I'm in the bathroom, it's generally,
that's, that is not the time to film.
That would be the only time.
You told me film everything.
Hey, you're not going to want to see this.
Okay.
Is there, is there a key up top?
Nope.
If you open that door right now, you're going to be sorry.
The crack under the door is too small to see anything.
What are you doing?
Joe, if I open that door, you're going to be really sorry.
Sorry of how much I love you?
Sorry of the smell.
Oh, okay.
I'm leaving.
What was the biggest bomb you've ever done on stage?
I went to a Sweet Sixteen and I roasted all the kids and no one laughed.
Oh yeah.
You made everyone cry, right?
I'm not everyone.
I made one girl cry.
That's bad.
Wait, when was this?
I don't know.
A long time ago.
I went and did stand up and this mom came up to me after.
She's like, you were so funny.
And I was like, oh, thanks.
She was like, would you, do you want to do my, uh, my daughter's Sweet Sixteen for like
$250?
Was that good money?
Oh yeah.
That was a crazy amount of money for me at the time.
And I was like, yeah, sure.
So I got $250.
So I was like, yeah, it's this Friday night.
I'm like, okay, cool.
And then I got a call on like Tuesday from the actual girl, like the 16 year old girl.
She was like, Hey, she's like, can you roast all my friends?
I love the Comedy Central roasts.
So she gave me all this information about all her friends.
You know, one's a rich guy, one's like really stupid, you know, all the information about
the friends.
So like I wrote jokes about each friend.
And when I got up there, I started roasting everybody and like teenagers are just not
good at being roasted.
You know what I mean?
There's not.
They're like, what?
You're making fun of us.
I was just completely bummed.
Completely bummed.
And then I had to stick around after to cut the cake.
So I was just there with like all these kids who hated me for like two hours.
Thank you for calling The Rock.
What if they don't let you in?
Oh, hi.
It's funny.
I remember being here with David.
We did our first podcast show right here.
And I remember being with David.
We were both so nervous.
We stood right here.
And Jack was really nervous.
And then like, of course, we went out there and, you know, they were so excited to see
us.
It didn't matter.
And then after, I was like, that was great.
And David was like, that was awful.
Jack and I were like, I think it went pretty well.
We were laughing.
It was terrible.
It's like good fellas.
You know what I mean?
Walking through the kitchen.
The main thing we need now is my camera.
Because, you know, this is, unfortunately, stand up doesn't pay the bills, Joe.
Vlogging does.
Are you a stand up first and then vlogger or a vlogger then stand up?
I think it's pretty clear by now I'm a vlogger.
But to whose standards, you know?
What does that mean, Joe?
I don't know.
You know, it's really funny.
Most of the time when like comedians or musicians, they bring a documentarian along, they're
really positive.
And they're like, you're going to be great.
But I feel like today I've brought somebody that is cracking a lot of jokes at my expense.
I have to keep you humble.
See that?
Yeah.
There was at least 30 kids there that knew me.
You want to see who?
Oh, you know that 22 year old vlogger who takes people to the mall?
We're going to see him?
No, we're going to see the guy who takes people to the mall.
That's funny.
It's so crazy to do this because we just usually vlog.
This takes like so much out of me.
But I can't even think about it.
Why did you want to do this?
Why did you want to perform stand-up today?
Because it's great to do vlog and stuff, but stand-up's the best because you come up with
an idea and then work on it, kind of perfect it, and then you show it to an audience.
And each joke is like a little diamond, you know?
And then to hear them laugh right then, it's...
I'm not saying it's like, I love YouTube, but it's just a different thing.
It's so awesome.
When it goes well, you come off so high.
I mean, you've played in bands, right?
Yeah.
So it's like that, right?
You know when you have a good show and everyone's like, yeah!
You come off like, wow.
The rush.
Yeah, it's like that.
It's like playing in a band, which I've never played in a band, but I'm sure it's similar.
Do you have any goals for stand-up?
Yeah, if I could get 45 minutes an hour of material and tour and play 500 sequels,
that would be incredible.
I have one more in San Jose at the end of the month, and then Cobb's in Manhattan.
I want to take him to Boston.
It's kind of weird.
East Coast has a lot of vlog fans.
Jersey crowds are really good.
Yeah, they were really smart and really into it.
And in Jersey, they brought their parents, and their parents are awesome.
You think there's going to be any parents tonight?
I hope so, because I have a joke about parents.
Because I always go to the parents like, I'm so sorry you're here.
You know, that's always a good joke.
I have one joke.
Hi, hello parents.
I'm one of the pieces of filth you're trying to watch on the internet.
That's a good joke.
It's okay, Joe, if you don't have to take it.
That's where you should take it.
See, we're working out the jokes.
I think Joe's doubting me.
This is like your thing.
This is your mecca.
You love being in front of a crowd.
When you do the podcast, you crush it every single time.
I've seen you do it like 10 times.
I have no doubt that you're going to do amazing up there.
I thought you said you were going to bring your hat today.
My hat?
Yeah, I thought you said you were going to bring a hat.
Joe, of all days to do the camouflage joke.
Did you know I threw those pants out?
No, you didn't.
You couldn't do the joke anymore.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Did you really throw out those pants so I can't make my joke anymore?
Why?
I just want to kill it.
Now I have to buy a pair of pants for you.
No, secretly they're in my room.
Oh, good.
And I'm just never going to wear them again.
Do you have any jokes that you're unsure if they're going to land?
Yeah.
A lot.
A lot of them?
Of course.
Would you say it was your best joke?
It's not my best joke.
But I have one joke about David dying and me standing over his dead body.
Which, hopefully.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You think that one's going to land?
That one I'm worried about.
Especially with a lot of David lovers here.
Have you ever had anybody walk out while you were performing?
Sure.
How does that feel?
I mean, I think they had somewhere to be, so.
Oh, so it wasn't like...
I mean, no.
I've never driven people out of their seats.
No, no, no.
Never.
Because I...
No, I've never done anything where people are like,
I cannot walk.
This is so offensive.
How are you?
I'm good, man.
How are you?
Good.
Thanks for having me.
Thanks for coming.
Thanks a lot.
That's really good.
Is it?
For 2 p.m.?
Yeah.
That's really good.
Is it?
Yes.
Yeah, so just like 10 or 15.
Cool.
And he's going to bring you out on stage.
And then when you're done, a video will play,
like my YouTube opening.
Okay.
And then after, I'll do my set.
And then if you want to stick around,
come do the Q&A.
If you have to go, go.
Great.
That'll be fun.
Yeah, cool.
Cool.
And there's going to be stools on stage.
He's going to come up.
I'm going to come up.
Cool.
Awesome.
All right.
Cool.
I'm going to go to the bathroom.
Let's use this.
Or whatever you want.
I'll do it.
All right.
No, I'll just sit here.
I just want to make sure.
Jason.
Yeah.
I'm confident.
There's only 400 people here.
I'm giving you the phone cable.
Oh, I thought it was a story.
Demonetized.
Jack.
Jack, I already said hi.
Yeah, you did.
I was excited to see you.
I love you.
Yeah, your homeboy's here.
Brandon's here.
Come on.
Let's go do the interview
where most of your jokes are.
No.
Yeah.
Here we are in the bathroom.
Do you want to have a seat?
Do I what?
Have a seat.
On the bathroom?
On the toilet?
Yeah.
All right.
Absolutely.
Do you want anything for you?
Wow.
I didn't think that was going to work.
I mean, you have a way with words.
This isn't the first time
you've dragged me to the bathroom.
T minus 30 minutes until showtime.
Oh, we have a whole 30 minutes?
Well, oh no.
I lied.
10.
Oh, 10.
If you were the opener,
would it be less pressure
or would it be more pressure?
Yeah.
Because you're just like,
I have my 15 minutes.
I can get through this.
But this is like longer.
So if they tap out at like 20,
then I have to go for another 30.
You're going to do amazing.
It'll be all right.
It's going to be great.
It always is.
Thanks, Joe.
Good luck.
Yeah, I got to do this.
I want to start a bisexual boy band
called Two Directions.
Ripping through.
So we had a rule in place that
once we paid for something,
absolutely nothing.
You can do a spin.
He had me do a spin
and I could feel my own poop
sloshing through my drunk suit.
He's going to give me some pep talk right now.
And they don't laugh.
And you get this feeling like
the audience is turning against you.
They are.
And if you get this feeling
like a tidal wave of anxiety
that like, ah,
I got to get off the stage.
Hold on to that and run with it
and just live in that, really.
And also, if they start
throwing tomatoes at you,
just start catching them.
Start being playful.
You know what I mean?
And if someone tries to
drag you off stage,
just run with it.
Just run with it.
Just let it happen.
That's the best way to go about it.
And if I don't do well,
you're saying my career's over?
I wouldn't say over,
I'd say annihilated.
And Jason, listen,
if you're up there and
you start doing well,
you're probably just dreaming.
Okay, have a good show.
And it's all you.
Tell me we'll be alright.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Jason Nash!
What's up, guys?
I'm Jason.
And it's all about you.
So much.
I really appreciate it.
Yes, I loved it.
He's a comedic genius.
What was your favorite part?
Oh, my God.
I love just the stories
and everything.
It's like,
I feel like,
I don't know,
I'm part of it
because I can,
I understand.
I've watched all the vlogs
and everything.
It's just so much fun.
I love it.
I loved it.
Tell me we'll be alright.
How do you think the show went?
I think it went pretty good.
It was fine.
It was good for the first one.
People seemed to like it.
They were just happy
that I showed up.
So that's good.
I mean, you know,
that's 90% of life,
showing up.
What was your favorite part
of the whole experience?
Probably just seeing like,
like there was one joke
that like went way better
than I thought
that would go.
Which one?
The Wyatt joke.
Oh, yeah.
So that killed.
That did really good
and then, you know,
that was like,
that's the great thing
about stand-up.
It's like you can find,
you find like things
that are like,
oh, I didn't know that.
So then it started,
it was getting laughs
just, just imitating
why it was getting laughs.
So then they,
there was,
there were some jokes in there
but really what was
getting laughs
was just imitating you.
Are you going to do
another show?
Yep.
I have one in April
in San Jose
and then I have one
in San Francisco
in May
and I gotta do Boston
and just, you know,
do my thing.
That's great.
Yeah.
Congrats, Jason.
Thanks, Joe.
