Paul inaudible Paul would you be so kind
to come over here come on Paul Reiser is
going to come sit down and I'm going to
go upstairs and get him an ice cream
sandwich come for the ice cream I'll be
right back mr. Reiser with your ice
cream sandwich fill my mic try frankly
this is much better oh is it okay well
he was slowing us down so let's talk
let's talk
do you second I can do better I can move
that around yeah so do you want to chat
with me or do you want to go into your
interview can we chat some hot topics
sure all right let's do it let's do it
so do you think that free food drives
people crazy so I'm talking about like
samples at Costco you know little things
up but the devil yeah but here's the
problem with a free sample because ya
gave you a little piece and then you go
oh that's fantastic that piece of cheese
give me 12 pounds of that and then you
go home wow I don't need all that cheese
at all but we can't we can't think ahead
clearly I agree so listen to this
exactly police had to be called to
separate to 70 year old customers at a
Costco in South Carolina who got into a
fight because one cut in front of
another at a sample okay this is this is
why I need to come to Detroit to do
comedy because people are a little bit
angry and they need to chill so this is
why tonight I'm just bringing this bring
it tonight at the legendary Royal Oak
Music Theater I will be performing
stand-up so specifically that people can
laugh have a good time and they won't
fight over cheese do you see my point
have a good time that when you go do
your weekend shopping yes
right exactly and and by the way the
reason I mentioned are you gonna be
there tonight you're gonna come I am
working tonight okay but you can come
and the reason I mention this I don't
always come on the morning of but there
I was told her a few empty seats and
very much like Elvis I don't go on if I
see empty seats I don't go on so we
there fill it or I rip out the seats but
I didn't bring tools okay so we can't do
that okay so if people come then we'll
have a good time I'll be no fighting and
no free cheese I have a very good news
for you please since you're on live in
the D
every seat will be filled tonight yay
I'm just I'm here I'm just as your
people are smart and they know
because what else are they gonna do
tonight fight over cheese at Costco this
is like you know we'll have you out of
there it's not like a 17 hour show have
some laughs go home how long is the
whole show no show will be maybe tops
two hours there's a singer for a little
bit then I come out we talk funny things
and then we do a little Q&A
I do a little Q&A so anything you want
to ask if you have mad about you
questions you have stranger things
questions I love mad about you by the
way oh good I loved it even if you have
questions about toddy there you go you
see ask me and I'll tell you everything
I know everything about ice cream
sandwiches yeah thank you
hi that's just for me but I am on a very
strict diet I'll save this love about
doing oh you know when I started that's
all I wanted to do I'd wanted to do
stand-up and then I got lucky and I got
my first job in the movie diner and then
that opened up all these things for me
and it's only a few years I got back
into doing stand-up but the best part is
like it's actual people you're right
there you don't have to wait 8 months 10
months to find out if it's funny you
know and you're it's and it changes
every night the audience gives you
something different so I'm having the
I'm having a ball having a great time
that's awesome well you've done
everything we're talking movies TV now
yes Jason missed the whole thing
we start over let's scoot you in talk to
me about aliens aliens Santa like 40
times really yeah these are little
subculture of people who've seen the
aliens like hundreds of times yes I
believe that was I take a lot of grief
on the street because people think that
my character deliberately tried to harm
the little girl you were oily you were
you were like a snake in the grass I
mean you were that's your simile to me
it was just a workplace accident no OSHA
where do you go around in space no one
can hear you scream so it was a terrible
misfortune and regretfully that they
they were almost lost but yeah that was
very fun and people still come over and
yell at me for that how which movie do
you think is superior take yourself out
of the equation
alien or aliens just one of your movie
the other ones like an action here they
were not so great in their own way alien
the first one was so
all in scope and much so much tense so
much more tense and the second one James
Cameron just kind of blew open that that
whole genre that every movie since then
is trying to do him so they're both
pretty good even if I wasn't in it I
would have liked it okay yes well let's
talk about the show that I really liked
which had about you you're the one I
know somebody loved the show too
goodness sake oh my gosh my hair was
brown wants to guess what my kids have
done to me oh my well I loved your
chemistry with Helen Hunt what was it
like working with her chemistry we you
know what from the minute we met and we
just had that in fact when I was we just
finished writing it and we hadn't cast
it and I went to a dinner party that my
wife my wife was friends with a mutual
friend of Helens and we went to a party
at Helens house and as we left I said
she's kind of funny
what do you think about her is you good
as me so it was and we just had it right
away so it was really great it was
really and it was lucky because you
don't always get that and you spent a
lot of time when you do a show it's
you're there a lot so for seven years we
just have a great time and we really
never really had a difference of opinion
but creatively about the show so that
was lucky that says a lot and also I
mean there was revival after revival
after revival but there won't be a
revival I don't know we're talking about
it and we know that's not a that's not a
no okay I know interview and then I went
crazy I said I said I don't think he's
gonna because it was hitting all kind of
we both said sure I said no and then I
said well maybe we'll be fun and frankly
just the idea of playing with Helen was
gonna be fun so I said well let's do
that we both said okay and then the
studio does the business thing so
they're still figuring that out and if
it happens it'll be great we'll make
more but this is why I love stand up
tonight no studio gets to say anything I
just show up and and assuming that all
of you and you think I'm talking to
others but I'm not I'm talking to you
you come down no studio no but he says
oh we didn't raise the money with it we
don't have a time slot we're set what's
simple who do you keep in touch with
back from the old days like a first name
that comes to mind because Detroit Mike
binder
Mike mindin out here something you might
not know Mike binder and I were both in
the TV pilot of dieter it was never
aired I mean it was there but I never
went and he played the Mickey Rourke
character no he played the Steve
Guttenberg character and I haven't seen
him in years but he's become like a
great director and my buddy Don was who
was a Detroit this kind of mentors did
you wonderful human being
oh he's weak suppose guy he and I wrote
the theme song to man about you because
look what you learn when you yeah two
weeks before the mad about you premiered
I bumped in I never met him but we sat
in an airport and we started talking I
said you know we have the show coming on
but I don't I don't think I said well
that's sweet we'd have to do it tonight
he goes let's do it tonight I went
really
he's just the coolest guy I know I said
we saw the jam and we came up with a
song and and then he said I'll meet you
back in LA and he brought in all these
great musicians and and everybody and I
went wow he's a cool guy so that's him
that's him we wrote it that's me playing
on the seams no questions you can ask if
you have any questions let's talk about
tonight when people come and they're
enjoying your show do interact with the
crowd are you yeah that's that's what I
love of us none of it is interactive you
can't you can't be behind and they laugh
they tell you what's funny what's not
funny and sometimes they make just kind
of push you in a different direction
and I love that it's just being out on
your own and then truly this is I didn't
used to do this but do taking questions
at the end is for because people are
very weird oh I have I had some weird
things the other day a woman said I
noticed you're sweating on stage I said
