Kevin: I did that a lot. Louis: How do you know?
Kjersti: Can you see the difference between Swedes and Norwegians?
Kevin: Yes. Kjersti: You can?
Kevin: Oh, did I say that too fast?
Kjersti: No! But I mean, that's interesting.
Kjersti: I mean, I can spot someone,
if they are Swedish or Norwegian, straight away but --
Kevin: Hundred percent you can.
Kjersti: Wow. Kevin: One hundred percent.
Louis: Yeah, I wouldn't know.
Kevin: It's like in Sweden, they would, like --
because there's the stereotypical model thing that comes with Swedish women.
So you can see a lot of women trying to paddle. And model.
Louis: You have good posture.
[indistinct]
Kjersti: Alrighty. So, do you guys, as comedians,
do you think it's harder to make kids laugh, than grown ups?
Because in this movie, you had to make --
I guess both laugh, which is--
Louis: Yeah. Well, I think you just try to do the movie
and see who likes it, you know?
I mean -- they're not there front of me so I don't know how they're --
if they're laughing, or not.
But kids laugh at a lot of the same things.
I have two kids and they laugh a lot at the same things grown ups do.
Kevin: Kids don't really like your material, though.
Louis: What's that?
Kevin: They're not fans of your material.
Louis: No, no. Not my stand up. No. Not at all.
Kevin: They don't laugh at this stuff. Louis: No. They hate it. Yeah.
Kevin: Which is tough. My kids actually aren't fans of me, either.
Louis: They're not? Kevin: No, no.
Louis: Well, I would think kids would like you.
Kevin: My kids-- Louis: You make a lot of the racket out there.
Kevin: Well -- [Laughs]
Kjersti: Are they allowed to watch your --
Louis: -- noisy little man. No, my kids are not allowed to watch my act.
Kevin: No. Louis: My daughter's 14,
just came to my show for the first time. Kevin: Really?
Louis: She came to see my concert.
Kevin: Did she like it? Louis: She had a great time.
She was kinda falling asleep though. [Laughing]
She was kinda falling -- like, I thought either she'll be, like, really shocked
or she'll be really like, 'this is great.'
but she was just kind of like 'I'm tired.'
Right before the show started, she's like, 'can go back to the hotel?'
Kevin: Long day, Dad. Louis: It was a long day.
Kev: My kids only watch -- they can watch the first five minutes.
They can watch my introduction.
Louis: Yeah. Kevin: And my hellos,
and then I look to them. They just sit on the side of the stage
and I would look -- Louis: It's time for them to leave.
Kevin: and they -- I would literally see them run away.
Kjersti: Now its grown-up time. Kevin: Now is grown-up time.
Louis: Yeah. Kev: I think within this movie,
with an animation, um --
you know, it's funny that you say adults and kids.
With these movies that are being made today, they're --
they're made for both, you know? Louis: Yeah.
Kevin: They're not specifically made for children. Like --
I found myself being more excited about animation movies than my kids, at times.
A nd it's because the movies are done in such a clever --
they're done so cleverly to where you taking your kids to the movies
is not you just going to take a nap now. You're -- you're into it.
And I think Secret Life of Pets gives adults and kids that, that opportunity.
Kjersti: So, do you guys think -- I've been asking a lot of comedians this lately --
do you think that some people are born funny
or is that something that you develop?
Louis: I definitely don't think you're born funny.
I've never seen a funny baby, so much.
I mean, you laugh at a baby because they're --
you know, they're dumb, and they're...
Kevin: I was killin' out the womb. I got tape.
Louis: Were you? Kevin: I got tape.
Kevin: So when I was like -- when I first came out my faces were--
I didn't have jokes, of course, 'cause I can't talk,
but I gave a lot of like --
it was like, you could tell it was gonna be a big deal.
Like, out the womb, be like, yo.
Louis: Yeah. Kevin: He's gonna be big.
This baby's gonna be the one. [Laughter]
I don't think you can be taught funny.
I definitely don't think that.
Louis: No. The funny happens to you.
Kevin: Yeah. You can't be taught.
Louis: It's like, you can't be taught how to be a -- um --
you know emotionally a wreck, you know?
Kevin: Yeah, it has to happen.
Louis: I mean, funny is a defense mechanism.
Kjersti: I was just gonna ask you that. Is it?
Louis: Yeah. So, you get it, or you don't. I don't--
I think people that try to be funny, they usually aren't funny.
Kjersti: But when you guys are on stage, you have to --
there's a lot of pressure, and when you fail --
it must happen now and then.
What -- how do you get -- ?
Louis: Not very often. Kevin: At this point, I was gonna say, it's not --
Kevin: At this point, at this point.
Louis: No, you get to a point where, even if you're having a bad show --
Kevin: It's still a good show. Louis: It's amazing.
Kevin: Your bad show is an amazing show.
Louis: When you're a professional --
real, professional comedian at our level, doing concerts,
you can't do what we do, and be able to, like, "Oh geez, that was bad."
Kevin: Yeah, it's -- you --
Louis: And every show is either really good or great.
Kevin: We're harder on ourselves.
Louis: Yeah! We'll have a show where, like, you know,
you get, like, a standing ovation and an encore
and you hated it. That you think, you knew you stunk.
Kevin: Cheese day! Kjersti: No one else noticed.
Kevin: Nobody else. You would never know.
You would never know.
The crowd would never know. But I think that's the beauty of,
of getting to this point is, you're your toughest critic.
You're your own competition.
Like, we're not in competition with one another,
it's us being hard on ourselves
and trying to make sure that we are representing ourselves properly.
Our material should be this, this, and this!
Louis: That right. Kevin: If it's not, you know that,
and you can watch another comedian and go,
"I got to go, I gotta go write some more stuff."
Nobody else knows what's going on here but you.
That's the beauty of it. That's also called a secure comic.
That's a comic that knows
and that can give himself constructive criticism.
Kjersti: That's where you are, where you are right now?
Kevin: Yes.
Kjersti: Thank you so much! This movie was so amazing.
