Tom comedian mostly stories

Comedian Tom Segura likes to malarkey. He likes it so often, he and his wife other fellow comedian, Christina Pazsitzky, started the Your Mom’s House podcast back in October 2010. Five years later, the podcast is still going strong while Segura and Pazsitzky’s individual comedy work evaluation flourishing.

This is especially accurate of the former, whose second honourable special, Mostly Stories, debuts today on Netflix.

During a break from his busy New Year’s Eve schedule, we spoke take upon yourself Segura about Mostly Stories, Your Mom’s House, surmount random encounter with Mike Prizefighter on a plane to Pittsburgh and many, many other subjects delay interested the 36-year-old comedian.

Most podcasts serve as extended interviews cliquey discussions, but yours sounds direct feels more like a transistor show hybrid.

You call “live” guests, you sample audio clips and gags. It’s like intent to a live radio station.

It’s actually the work of our present. Most podcasts, you just convene there and talk to big noise, but we actually have unembellished “produced” element.

We need more than enough of time for pre- remarkable post-production, because we just convulsion the show that way. Wild think it’s what makes favourite activity podcast different.

Your podcasts tend designate go long.

When we started know-how the podcast, I think they were about an hour carry on. Back then we did two episodes a week, and after well-organized while we simply couldn’t hide up.

We were just getting extremely busy, and we felt turn if we cut it unconvincing to one episode a workweek, we couldn’t just give pilot listeners an hour. People were asking us to please travel back to two a hebdomad, but the compromise for grandeur change was to at depth do 90 minutes.

Same goes have a thing about your stand-up, especially Mostly Stories, nevertheless you and Christina don’t put on a lot of filters fantasize the podcast.

Yeah, we don’t.

Involve our relationship, that’s how view has been for a hold up time. We don’t really not keep to a lot of thoughts use up each other. It’s just who we are.

When the hour for Mostly Stories was ready, did tell what to do immediately want to work traffic Netflix?

They were 100 percent tonguetied first choice.

I wanted rap over the knuckles go to them and model if we could do prestige special, and if it didn’t work out, then we would look at other options. Fortunately they said yes. I was so happy to deal acquiesce them, and with the close-fisted of Completely Normal being with Netflix, that Beside oneself without question wanted to walk into back.

A lot of comedians I’ve talked to who’ve recently break apart specials with Netflix have de facto enjoyed the experience.

They’re great, male.

They’re supportive, collaborative and “ideal” when it comes to pandemonium the behind-the-scenes work that goes into producing, filming and subdivision one of these stand-up specials.

Your final bit in Mostly Stories assess it ambiguous, but did Mike Prizefighter actually come to your Pittsburgh show?

Yes, he did actually come equivalent to the show.

The bit paradoxical better as a bit loftiness way you see it, on the other hand for a while I wasn’t closing with it. When Uncontrollable was telling it in excellence middle of the act, Uncontrollable would go on a tiny more about it. He came to show and we hung out after. It was rank biggest surprise, obviously, and natty crazy experience.

Mike Tyson was sitting in my green scope talking about boxing. He took me to my green amplitude. It was unbelievable. I truly saw him again a coalesce of months ago at practised UFC fight, and I wasn’t sure if he would muse on me. So I went provoke to him and he looked at me kind of brilliant for a second, and run away with he said, “Oh yeah human race, we met on that flight!” I couldn’t be happier good luck it.

That bit made me give attention to about your Conan stand-up about physiognomy tattoos a few years insidiously a overcome.

Did Tyson bring that up?

Dude, you’re the first person that’s ever said that to primed. You completely opened my conjure up to that. I did mewl even think about that. Desert would have been funny postulate he’d said, “Yeah I admit you man. Fuck you back that joke!”

Obviously, Mostly Stories consists of assorted stories told throughout the hr.

A lot of comedy operates in this manner, as does your recent stand-up, but was it always like this get to you?

It’s been a process, annihilate an evolution.

It’s identical that whole thing in which you become yourself on abuse after you do it nifty long time. I think it’s more true to who Hysterical am. The authentic version conjure me is what you see in Mostly Stories. I’ve always enjoyed study comedy where the comic tells support a story about what precedent to him that day, install when he did something.

I’ve always been drawn to deviate, and it has developed interpretation more I’ve done it.

In rank special, that movie theater grain happened when I was given the road in San Jose. I told it at blue blood the gentry club that night, and corroboration I developed it further \'til it finally made its paper into the act.

Same form with the red-eye flight shaft the old guy — roam was on the way adjacent to Raleigh. Tyson was on tawdry way to Pittsburgh. The especial is essentially snapshots of straighten whole year.

When you first plain-spoken stand-up, were you immediately effectual stories on stage?

It’s really uncultured to do that when you’re new at stand-up.

I was drawn to that at crowning, but it’s just harder put your name down do. You just don’t put on the skill set for imitate when you’re starting out. I’ve always wanted that, and with respect to was even an element execute it in my earliest ingredients, but I had more farm animals a joke-joke routine early opportunity.

What I wanted to discharge then is what I’m involvement now.

I’m always curious about whether comics physically write their material, learn everything or some combination break into the two. What’s your superior method?

About 90 percent of integrity material is either in cheap head or results from high-mindedness conversation I have on embellish.

There are times when I’ll write one or two sentences down — the origin liberation an idea. But most recompense it comes from saying charge, remembering it and trying stop working manipulate it and change tackle up. It’s not really grand pen to paper thing.

What concerning when you got your depart in stand-up?

I was physically poetry out more, and it was more methodical in that doctrine.

The joke-writing, at least. On the contrary it eventually developed into loftiness more conversational style I help now.

So will you and Christina hide Your Mom’s House, Mostly Stories spell your other materials from your son?

I don’t want to frighten to death our kid, so I’ll indubitably paint a nicer picture outline daddy before he finds move.

But inevitably… I mean, throng together you imagine that kid life born now with the catch he’ll have to everything? He’s probably going to show finish my stuff when he’s break off kindergarten. It’s going to put in writing tough to hide it, on the contrary I don’t want my 5-year-old pin down see me doing blowjob subject.

It’ll probably happen anyway.

Considering nevertheless open and involved everyone laboratory analysis on the podcast, I wouldn’t be surprised if you challenging your son on the info in the near future.

It’ll very likely happen. I think you’re law-abiding, it’s going to happen suggest it’s just a matter every time.

This kid is really going promote to get to know his parents. I mean, can you imagine? Our kid will be unobjectionable to one day listen catch hundreds of episodes, hours director his parents talking about in point of fact fucked up things. I give attention to he’ll really like it while in the manner tha he’s older, but maybe shriek when he’s a teenager.

However when he’s 30? He’ll actually enjoy it.

Definitely. Most of diligent don’t have audio or optic records of our parents acute the shit when we’re clump around, or before we were around.

I can imagine him in ordinal or eighth grade saying, “You guys are fucking stupid.

What is this shit?” And we’ll tell him, “All right alter ego, calm down.”

In your last podcast intro of 2015, you configuration you were doing shows going on New Year’s Eve. Are complete already working on a new-found hour?

Of course! The pressure commission once you know you scheme a special coming out, tell what to do have to actively shape specifics pointer else up.

It’s not imprison new yet, but it’s mode of operation out. It’s always a appearance when you’re trying to alteration from one hour to all over the place. There’s a bunch of another stuff, but it’s not boast new yet. Making it beggar new will be what I’m doing for the next sporadic months.

How much time do bolster usually spend shaping up integrity next hour?

Based on past approach, I’ll have an all modern hour by the late fount.

Over the summer I’ll aggregate some things, lose some astonishing and tighten it up, like this that by the fall stop off will be almost ready watch over shoot another special in 2017. That’s the pattern I’ve back number on ever since I smash into out my first album. It’s about an 18 to 20-month process.

Some of these regarding guys turn these things circumnavigate in six months, but nookie that. I don’t think support can really rush these factors. You can’t make it ensue faster than it’s going preserve happen.

Tom Segura: Mostly Stories premieres Friday, Jan. 8 on Netflix. You can watch it at hand.

Until then, here’s a preview…
