Chrissy D
Yeah, I got very itchy nipples. Welcome to another episode of Sunday night stand ups with Chrissy. Today's episode is going to be interesting because it is behind the scenes of my comedy special. It's just unfortunate, which is out on Hulu right now. And I wanted to show what goes into making a comedy special and how hectic it is before the show, after the show, during the show, how much, how many people are just unnecessarily there. And I thought it was cool. I. I've been liking doing this every week with you, trying to show a little, you know, behind the scenes of comedy and standup and my nipples just will not stop itching. It's just like a constant itch on my nipples. Could that. What is that? Happy anxiety Tuesday? It's just now I'm going to literally go talk to ChatGPT for an hour and find a way for Chat GPT to tell me that itchy nipples means you have cancer. Just what it is in your head. But there might be a little cursing in this video. I am still doing Chrissy cleans every week because I'm not cursing during lent and maybe beyond. We'll see. But this one may have some curses if it does my bads. But yeah, I figured that this video today we'd show you, you know, all the background stuff because dude, you don't just get up there and wing it. Okay, but whatever, dude. I got my Lululemons on my athleisure. We're gonna have a good time tonight. Hopefully you enjoyed this video. I want you.

So I want to be a part of it. I want you to be a part of it. And I just. If you see me in the street and you subscribe to my YouTube, please let me know. Because man, woman, as long as you are legally over the age of 18, you will get softly kissed on the forehead. So that's just what it is. You need any up here? Jeans still? Yeah, around. Well. All right. James, how do I look up here? I got brought new jeans from where? Zara. Leather jacket from Zara. Jeans from Zara. T shirt from Zara. Shoes from Zara. Yeah, shoes from Zara. So yeah, Zara Gar. That's it. Zara Garner. So I can't wait to see one of my peers as the new spokesperson. Zara. I'll shout them out, I'll do all the heavy work, and then they'll just give the money to somebody else. Who they give it to. They're going to give it to who? Z. Yeah. Ch. You good, James, you said. All right, Pat, you think I look hot? Serious? Can you see a bulge? Yes. All right. Because I got my penis removed for the special. Yo, this is. Should this be how he starts the special? Dude, I have the. I have a picture. So you know what's crazy about this theater is I one of the very first times I've ever opened for anyone. I opened for Artie Lang here, and it was. Dude, it was nuts. Did I ever tell you that, James? The time I opened for R. Lang here? Did you? So I. This. This theater, right? And they're going crazy. It's already Lang, right? I had five minutes, 10 minutes of comedy. This was 2,010. And he says, just go out there and do five. And I walk out, and they're going crazy, right? You know, whatever. And then as I was wearing a purple flannel shirt, and from, like, one of these last rows, as soon as I took the mic out, somebody went, nice shirt, pussy. And it exploded. The crowd went crazy, and they started going, pussy, pussy. And I couldn't. I did like maybe 90 seconds, and then 90 seconds, and Artie was on the. God lightning. My. Guys, guys, give the kid a chance. I'm coming out. Once they heard AR's voice, they exploded even more. So AR was like, all right, Chris, just bring me out. That's why those crowds are just animals. Animals, dude. And I just brought them out. But, Emilio, that note about the people. Just like one or two. Not like a bunch, you know? Yeah. You know, the thing is, it's all, oh, people bought, Right. It's not a special thing that we could do. Okay, so then whatever. We'll just go with the luck of the truck. You know what, James? If there was, like, a situation where I asked somebody something and they were like, in this area, we can get anybody anywhere, right? Yes. Just not on the upper level or even on the upper level, not the upper. Just if they're down here, it's all good. Yeah. If they're right here, I'll be like, right there, guys. You'll, like, run down the knife. Got it. You look. I look sick, right? I'm going to take a picture. Take a picture. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to take a Picture of the monitor. Scott, if I don't get in season three of Life of Death after this. What are we even doing for. Can you stand center for a second? Thank you. Sure. We all look better. Yeah. Couple years. Yeah. Do you want to bring your water bottle out? No, I have it there. Have it there. Okay. Yeah, just have it there. Even for when James is. Yeah. You know, that is a good idea. Tricks of the trade, people. Then we can stretch. I think if we bring the show up at 5, 15, you're safe to do between 10 and 15. We could throw you a light if you want to clock there or you can fear it. Yeah, let's do that. I trust you. I mean, we're going to have the clock, right? They're putting the clock on stage. So we got the clock, Nick and I. I don't know where you'll be. I'll be off to the left on in the back. I'm going to be. If anything you can look over, you know. Yeah. If it's absolutely imperant to start no matter what, then do away. But I say even looking for that screws up rhythm. Okay. We're going to be ready somewhere between 10 and 15 and it's going to be. I'm not going to come out of the. Got to do an extra minute or two. It's going to be taken care. James, if you need. They're gonna be fired up. You need to get a message to James while he's on stage. And this is like obviously dire. I will just tell me and I'll go to stage. I'll go stave left and be either tell you to stretch, write it on your chest. Here's what I Whatever the message. I trust you trust your instincts. You've done a million of these. Just do whatever you need to do. Energy. We'll take care of it. Cool. All right. Second show. We got the best in the business, baby. Yeah. Second show, fun time. All right, let me find out where salad cus is. Salad Cu. Salad cu. You don't know salad cues. He's. He's always with Mark and Sam. Yeah, he did Sam's first special. Maybe you've seen them before. I love it. Web's absorbed all these guys. I know what very Chicago Mafio. This has given me an idea that we should get you a sponsorship with super cuts. Yeah. Or the lemon tree. I used to have a joke about the lemon tree about how my mom would just get the number 7. Everything is timing too, because it's like if Google happened two Years ago, I wouldn't. It would have been all up. Like, now I'm ready for it. I'm much more locked in. Any complaint I had about special was just me being, like, me. Me putting, like, a blame on. On something else when it was. I wasn't as prepared as I needed to be. It was me. I wasn't prepared. I was butting heads. I was, like, all over the place. Like, I shouldn't have filmed. It was. I wanted to shoot a special for the wrong reason. Now it's, like, all clear. So now I'm like, very much like, whatever happens, I'm good with, you know, because I know that we'll like it no matter what. Because I'll find, like. Because our material, you know, we did the work. It's like, it's so crazy too, because for so long, like, months, I guess, getting off social media or whatever, like, I felt so disconnected from comedy. Like, how many times we had conversations. I'm like, even if we're selling tickets or doing well, I'm like, yeah, but I'm like, not in it anymore. Like, I. I had more esteem two years ago. I suck now. All this stuff this past two weeks. Because every day we've been focused on something and every day we've been doing the work. I feel as connected in comedy and as, like, I don't care what my peers are doing or not doing. Like, I've never felt. So it was like, a good lesson for me to be like, dude, you just have to. When I'm feeling a certain way, it's because I'm not doing the work. That's the only reason. Once you start to do the work, it doesn't matter. If it does, Nothing matters anymore. It's like, then you start to feel good about yourself. You did the work. Yeah, I think. I mean, that applies with everything. Yeah. You got to put your head down and do the fucking work. I'll tell you, man. Do what you do. Yeah, it was. And that's it. That's it. If you're trying to do it for another reason. No, because it's like, it's like, that's why, like, you know, I'd argue, like, a guy who's, like, not even successful, who's doing the work, is happier than a very successful guy who's not doing the work. You know, the work is what matters in creative. I only give that gift to people I really love. That's it. Yes, Billy, That's a gift. And then it doubles as flowers. I appreciate it. After the second Show. Have a sip of that. Sure. Yeah. I feel good, dude. Good. You look good. Thank you. Thank you for wearing your Dr. Huxley sweater. Thank you. That's that shot going in. If you saying the word, I'm retarded. Come on. Have fun. Baby, baby. And I told you whatever. If it's 12 minutes, if it's 15, whatever you feel, it's tomorrow. Yeah, that's what it is. And this first one, though, just so I know is godlike. That's what James wants, yeah? Yes. Okay. But then the second one's got to be the regular way. Whatever you want. No, no, I want it the regular way both times. But James, for sit for a camera, just please do it this way. Let's just. I get it. It's a taping. They need that. We got two. Yeah, let's go. Yeah.

Bruno told you about it. I'm the guy that promotes everything, and I never get paid for it, and nobody ever acknowledges it. That's the guy I am. So what you think? I thought it was great. Look like you were comfy having a good time up there. We need a name for it. I'm saying Golden Retriever hat, yo. No, you know what? You know what? I think I want to call it, man. What about Good Bunny? Good Bunny, you know, because I have a joke where I say bad, but I say to my daughter, you know, you know, Bad Bunny. I'm Good Bunny. Good Bunny, you know, can they help win yo. Emilio Berkowitz's pitch for this title name is Good, Good Bunny. I know. I heard you like That. I like it. I like that. What are the other name. I mean, what can we name it? I like Mr. Perfect. I like Mr. Perfect. Would have to be Chris Stefano presents because what do you think, Pat? No Hitter. No Hitter is a funny name. No Hitter is a funny name. I thought of yesterday. Yeah, no Hitter. I want to say Chris Stepano. No Hitter. Berkowitz was saying. What about calling Special Good Bunny? It's very good. I don't hate it. No Hitter is actually not a bad name. No one has had that format of no, not a bad Chris Deano is no Hitter funny Because it sounds like no laughs. No laugh. What we call special needs. No Hitters. Hilarious. I do like that. Chris Deano is no Hitter. Presented by hulu. I like Mr. Perfect. You like Mr. Perfect? I like Mr. Ferguson. I don't mind words louder than actions. I like that, too. It's just too wordy. Like, I want, like, something like, you know, Mr. Perfect. Good bunny I think is interesting just because. But then it's like, you have to know it correlates to Bad Bunny. It's a lot. It steps on the joke, too. That's why that's funny. No Hitter. But I'm just one man, man. I should call it. I prematurely sold my house in Staten Island. Please give me back my house in Staten Island. I'm going to call it. The mortgage rate is too high and I up. Hey, how are you? Nice to see you. Thank you. Hey, Alyssa's friend Margo. That's the name of the special. Alyssa's friend Margo. We're thinking of special names. I'm your ex, Katie. Hi. K. Oh, sorry. Get out of here. Okay. What are we gonna do? Should we call it clotted cream? We should stand in the hallway. Yeah. Look at how disgusting clotted cream is. Who wants clotted cream? Ladies. Fellas, you want some clotted cream? This is from. You know what this is from? I went to Puerto Rico. I went to Puerto Rico last week, do a podcast with Jake Paul, and now I got a sunburn just on my arms and legs. Hey, that name you just dropped rolled over that way. Yeah, there we go. What does this even smell like? I like to have clotted cream in the green room because Mike Cannon is from the Republic of Ireland and he always. He gets so upset about how the British conquered his land. So I like to just have it as subliminally just the clotted cream and then just watch Mike get all upset. Here, Mike, that's my. For me producing your special next week. This Is the gift I got you. All right, this is BC And Debo. This is. This is what Middle village looks like, ladies. Soak it in. Soak it in. What do you want? Do you want a neighborhood in the middle of Queens by the train tracks in the cemetery? This is what it is. Chris. What? That food? Huh? Oh, I'm kind of like not hungry, but I. Should I eat, you think? Kind of feel. Would you eat in between? I kind of feel like, you know, if you feel good, then don't I feel good If I start to feel like a little. Yeah, all right, I got it. Here. I mean, you're used to. I may not eat, but I may smoke one of Sergio cigarettes. Have to play pretend he doesn't smoke cigarettes. No, we got to cut that part out. Cut that, cut that, cut that, cut that. All right, well, this is the feeling now, in between two shows. I don't know that I quite got it. I got close enough. But now the second show, there's pressure, but it's not like insane pressure. What I'm saying is I'm contemplating taking one of my cannons edibles. We're close enough that I could say I could have an edible and a shot and be all right. But maybe I won't. Maybe in the middle of the taping, if I'm feeling. If I really feel like we're got those holes filled, I'll call off set to canon and be like, throw me in at him. I'll literally be on the side of the scene. Hit him with the. The Stevie Wiser. I will legit throw a caramel right to you. We have a. A clip of Mike walking onto stage giving you an edible. And we put that out. Everyone's going to want to watch the special. I don't think you should take an edible. Wow, that's crazy. If I feel in the middle of it that we got it. All right, we'll hit you before, huh? How much do you want? Cuz they're 100mg. I don't want to give you. I want Mike to throw it. Yo, I'll catch it on my. In my mouth, on my knees like that. If you catch it, then it's. That's fun. Or I just mother bird feed it to you. Chris, can I introduce you to someone? Yes. This is Becky. Hi, Becky marketing. Hi, Becky the marketer. You were awesome. You had fun. We can market it. So marketable. So I. I took notes. There's so much good stuff. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it. Awesome. I love the Family stuff. Yeah, We. We were saying that maybe in the middle of this set, my cannon off camera is going to throw me an edible and I'll eat an edible and then that will be the clip doing. Doing edibles to get through your family. Thank you. Though. The energy was great. Like, you were so good. I was saying that it's like, it's enough that we got it, but the 8:00 show, like, when we slice together, all. I have a couple of things that I mess up in my head that I'm going to hyper focus on and everybody. You would never know. Yeah. Yeah. Seriously. Yeah. So that's good, though. Yeah. So then we got. And then, you know. Yeah, it'll be fun. Okay. All right, second show, you guys prep, you guys. Only when I notice and gets fixed. When you appreciate it, Madden brings you up like a normal show. You get out there, you do your thing and then you just. And you just slow down a little bit. Yeah. The beginning, I could feel I was going fast. Yeah, Yeah. I could tell. I was like. But then it slowed down at some point. I connected with them. Yeah, right. It was a very obvious turn. Yeah, definitely. Also, it was when you went off, it was hot in there, right? Yeah. Because I did get a DM and they're saying it was like so hot in there. Yeah. That it was like. Like, you know, people are lethargic, you know, so if you felt like, you know, people weren't like, yeah, I wonder. But that might be an issue with cameras. They said it was going to be hot. We knew it was going to be hot. And it's warm outside. Yeah. Yes. But 8:00, it's much cooler. So. Yeah. So that might have played the role. That's why we do two of them. Yeah. Like, dude, I don't know. 7:00. I mean, I'm listening to the audience the whole time and just seven applause. It was definitely the best first taping I've had. It was louder than Gramercy, that's for damn sure. For sure. And louder than when I remember when we did the Comedy Central one, I. I was like, yeah, I blanked out at like 25 minutes. How big was the Comedy Central one? 400. Yeah. I think this is just a nice size for theater. Yeah. 700. It's nice. This is perfect, dude. And the shot from the back. Yeah. The shot from behind you. That's the name of the studio. But it doesn't feel much like bigger than the gramer suit, right? No, well, yes and no. Wider. Wider. Yeah, it looks grand. Yeah. It's majestic. Yeah. And it's a very different. Yeah, this is the bigger. The bigger ones, right? Yeah. Yeah. Is that about like a carnival? I don't know about a theater. There you go. So the only thing I forgot was the. The flags. That's the only bit that I didn't do at all. Yeah. You also, once again, not a big deal, but you remember we were talking about not saying you, dad say screw you, dad. You said. And then this time, let me start. I'm gonna start that 911 story with saying. Can I tell you about the time my dad. Yeah. Maybe gets. Yeah. Because you. Because you were filling time a little bit. You took a huge gap between graduation to Doc Gooden, so you never really had that. That momentum. That's when you threw into the Italy story. Yeah. And then. Which once again, all this works, but like just different than the vibe it was. But what you've been working on has been flowing in a different way. But how long should we aim for? For the next one. Right. Because he did under 60. Under 60, so there's probably like 10 that's on views. Well, also the first 15, 20 minutes he was. Oh, he was a pace like you're flying. He was flying through it. And then at like the 40 minute mark is when Cuz I look, even Mike was like, hey, is this closer? 40 minutes. Yeah. But yeah, you were. You. You saw. I wonder too, though, just to. For usability, if I should not do the like not say Little Mermaid this time then and just say what was the other one that I. Jumanji. Here's the thing. Because Hulu owns Disney. Yeah, but Chris, it gets such a good pop. Right. But even if you don't use it, the crowd is so excited for. Yeah. For the show. Right. Okay. And because there's so many jokes attached to the fact it's the Little Mermaid. Yeah. Once you say Jumanji, you lose about three jokes out of it. It's legitimately funnier than you say Little Mermaid is. Funnier. I said Jumanji. My last special. It works. Cheers. She's a hot. Oh, Little Mermaid. Because they only. This is saying now, are we recording this? Can I get at the food? I'm getting a little hungry. Thank you. Can you cut it into small bites and feed it?

You know, at times I'm Chrissy. Brain fog. I'm Chrissy. I don't know what the hell I'm doing because sometimes you just get that way. But I found something that helps me. It's called mud water. Okay? I've been drinking it, I've been using it. You know, sometimes people like to have coffee. I like to have mud water. That's what it is. It's functional. Mushrooms seem to be like all the hype right now. And so I said, let me give it a try. And that's why I looked out there and I said, what about this mud water stuff? And I started using it. And then they started sponsoring us on the podcast. And I got to be honest with you, I love it, dude. Like, I love the taste of matcha. And I gotta say, the Matcha Mud water is probably the best matcha I've ever had. And I'm not. I don't. Doesn't mean I like men because I like matcha. That's not what that means. Even though I know you guys comment that a lot. Look, I understand that coffee is the go to, but it causes a lot of jitters. And then that afternoon crash, I didn't like it anymore.
