And the worlds falling apart in a race apocalypse.
And were in a global pandemic.
And yeah, were doomed.
But other than that, Im fantastic.
On What Hes Observed at the Protests
A lot of full-frontal nudity.
No, Ive been fortunate.
All the ones Ive been to have been pretty peaceful and civil.
I think the news is focusing on the wrong part of it.
Theyre focusing on vandalized Starbucks.
Its not about that.
I actually saw a very diverse group of youth, for the first time, being very proactive.
They protested outside of Mayor Garcettis house and asked him to defund the police.
And he didnt defund them, but he allocated some of their money, which is out of control.
Its been really productive.
Im really proud of my generation for the first time in forever.
So, yeah, its been going really good.
I think were getting the worlds attention now in a positive way.
On (the Recently Canceled)Cops
I grew up watching that show.
It was always on and always fascinating, and they definitely downplayed the police brutality thats the farce ofCops.
And people have been killed or hurt because the cops were kind of showing off for the camera.
And the persons thinking like,Oh, Im going to be released from these handcuffs.
So theyre like, Yeah.
Its secret code for a verbal release consent form for the filming.
I heard that the producers have a dirty trick.
I dont know if thats true though.
But thats pretty dirty.
It is unethical, producingCops.
On Why He Screams Himself Hoarse Onstage
I love Bad Brains.
I like it loud and like it feels like your brain is swelling while youre listening to it.
I also love Chris Farley [he] was one of my favorite comedians when I was a kid.
And I love wrestling.
I loved WWF growing up.
Those guys are always screaming and yelling like cavemen.
Theres something primal about it.
Im also very, very nervous onstage, so it helps get over my nerves.
Im like,One set a night.
Thats all.Even thats exhausting.
But its like, Im eating salads.
Im like a boring suburban dad.
I would do vocal warm-ups and shit and study with a vocal coach.
Youve got to warm up your voice.
Its a lot of work.
Its a tremendous amount of work.
On the Upcoming Season ofThe Eric Andre Show
I think its our best season.
I gained weight for it and got rid of all my body hair except my eyebrows for it.
And I spray-tanned every day, and I bleached my teeth.
A lot of drama and action, high stakes.
But its also [that] we got the pranks down to a science now.
It is by far the best season, I think.
We just know what to do, what not to do.
And we learn from our mistakes.
You learn from your mistakes over and over again.
So we know who to hire, who not to hire.
We know what bits, when were writing them, will yield good results.
And we know what writing is un-producible.
I love the show so much … Plus, Im looking atAlways Sunny in Philadelphiagoing into their 17th season.
Why would I walk away from this?Adult Swim wants more.
So we strung together 40 to 60 pranks into a cohesive narrative story, which is no small feat.
But we accomplished it and it came out amazing.
Its a small cast because you cant put a bunch of actors in it.
You have to keep the cast very minimal so you know exactly whos being pranked and whos not.
Theres only four cast members, and theyre incredible.
And Jeff Tremaine was our mentor the whole time.
He directed all theJackassmovies andBad Grandpa, and he co-foundedJackass.
And he has 15 to 20 years more experience than we do.
So he was like our Obi-Wan Kenobi.
And the final product is amazing.
Im really, really excited.
We got a knife pulled out on us the second day of shooting very dangerous.
We show the humanity in Americans throughout the movie, which is exciting.
I think we broke new ground, hopefully.
