- Good morning. - Good morning.
I'll always love the feeling I get when I can make someone laugh.
But making that my full-time job is incredibly tough.
I've never thought about quitting.
It'd be pointless if I quit now.
It's all about the end result. There's no point if I don't make it.
Just wait two more years. I will make it. I'm not just saying that.
My shtick is that I dress up like a soccer referee...
and blow my whistle on daily things I see that I think are a little strange.
Instead of handing out fouls, I make little comments.
Once again, I'll be passing harsh judgment on some of the things we see every day.
Time to kick off!
How rappers talk during interviews.
We'd like to end with a message for everyone watching today.
I'm gonna bring you a hot set, yo!
Raise ya hands. Raise ya voices. You feel me?!
Talk like a normal person! This is an interview, who do you think you are!?
Are you going to talk to your girlfriend's dad like that?
"I'm her boyfriend, yo. You feel me?" You wouldn't say that! You'd make him furious.
Sorry it's cramped.
I worked at my part-time job until morning...
and got home at about 8 am.
It was 10 by the time I had a bath and everything.
And now it's 1 pm.
3 hours of sleep. Good morning!
Well...
I work at a bar.
I washed a lot of glasses last night.
Sorry.
Last month...
I made a little under 30,000 yen.
Not enough to cover rent.
My week's packed with shifts at my part time job. About four days a week.
Any less and I can't cover my living expenses.
It's empty!
This looks pretty tasty, doesn't it? I'm shocked myself. It must look good on camera.
Rice would be nice, but I can't afford it right now.
Still... this is good!
I like staying holed up in my room.
As a comedian, I only get a few gigs a month.
My father died from cancer six years ago.
He was 69.
So now, it's just my mom and my younger brother.
I pour dad a glass of water every day before I go out.
Sometimes I want to talk to him.
But now I can't.
There were things I wanted him to see, too.
Like me becoming successful, or getting married, or having kids. But he can't see any of that.
I do really regret that.
I still have some time before work,
so I'm going to a cafe to write down some jokes.
"Oyster and mushroom kimchi stew." I like the way that rolls off the tongue.
"Oyster and mushroom kimchi stew." Yeah, this phrase.
Wanting to be more popular with girls is one of the reasons I'm doing this.
I wish I had girls chasing after me. I'm a guy, after all.
- He's too kind sometimes. - It's because I'm too serious.
He can't quite get into the role sometimes and he ends up being the nice guy.
True, unfortunately.
This job is where everything else comes from. Without it, I'd be finished.
All the people I started with are disappearing.
They're jumping ahead without me.
I'm tired of seeing that happen.
That's probably what's toughest for me. If I didn't feel frustrated, though, I'd be better off quitting.
It really is frustrating.
I'm heading to my shift at the bar.
Off I go.
Having no money really sucks.
Lots of guys quit comedy, got an office job, and now have a wife and kids.
Sometimes I envy them. That must be nice too.
My old man has definitely influenced the way I live.
Don't do things half-heartedly. Follow through to the end. Things like that.
Ever since he passed away, I think I'm even more conscious of living my life like that.
