2012-04-29

Brady gives the internet a swirly either one or trade off hahaha that's fine turning the tables on us Wayne Brady thank you so much for being here in our studio thank you sir we've had you in Las Vegas and now we've had you in New York no it feels good to be here thank you so very very good it's April twentieth we're all very excited yeah because today is the day where Wayne Brady starts his Gotham a comedy club segment of shows starting tonight night tomorrow and Sunday two shows tonight to show Saturday Hayden 10 yeah 730 and 10 and eight o'clock all right there you go so make sure you if you're in the city or you're close enough to come in make sure you get tickets for that tickets are on sale gotham comedy club com so make sure you do that and see your buddy Wayne today also note know there are some people that have seen whose line and they followed it for years or they're seen other things have been on and they'll come no no the other people are like well why would I want to come to to an improv show I've already seen that no it's because it is an improv show yeah and it's my improv show it's different better whose line showing me it's me it's it's it's stuff that I do off the top of my head right and so the whole show I walk on stage is myself a microphone and and a keyboardist that's fantastic and I just get folks up on stage and we do different scenes one-man improv and I act out whole movies by myself and sketches all right and then there are two things that I love doing one I let the audience ask any question they want to ask and I'll answer it truthfully and that may turn into a scene or a song or something or I'll just be a funny answer only if you write your name on the paper because folks will say oh I'll ask something really you know to like finish and then not want to claim it right no I will ask any question anything you asked me right now sure you don't have to go on Wikipedia dude I have to look in a tabloid you don't ask me but you have to be man or woman enough to say I Gwendolyn from juror he wanted to ask you about your junk right you have to be the person right and then I will be glad to let you know what what you want to know and and the show i think is really honest and funny that way and that ends up spurring the other improv stir and then at the end the audience writes down song titles that do not exist huh they give it to me and they give me a recording artist and my or style and my keyboardist plays and someone says hey I've got pork chops in my pants his rod stewart boom he starts playing and i do it as rod stewart or something is prince or hammer michael jackson a kid whatever it is I'll do it that's awesome wow that sounds like a lot of fun so make sure you see it tonight we said saturday and sunday making it up is what we're calling the that's we're calling it here on on the radio here but in vegas and in real life it's making you know oh the stuff up shizzle shizzle Bashara a shy oh that's so cool because we were talking earlier about you know people have sort of being a little using the cloak of an end up being anonymous on the internet anonymity if you will you know you went through a recent sorta bored or deal on twitter which is sort of silly I feel like you should get some more information from people other than their name like a social security number or something as well write it down or the very least an email address yeah where you can be reached because I'm finally going to start doing that this I think that the whole thing about the Internet is is and i'm a believer and i would like to believe in the best in people sure but i'll be honest the internet has really made me feel that that people are not high on my on my list yeah yeah they the thing about what the internet it's it's a little harder to ignore those kinds of comments you know like it's are you can choose not to read youtube comments but with things like Twitter they reply to you you have to read and they engage you because they keep because they put your name in the thing thing is look if you want to insult me or say something stupid go ahead cuz it's a free world of course you know you can walk around and yell at all you want to but then it reaches another level of why include my name and add and you know personally that I'm gonna read it do you hate me that much anonymously that you would say some stupid crap why not just say it in in the ether and be done with it like you really wanted me to know but the thing that I found is and I've run up against a couple these people is they'll say something whether it's online or on you two will oppose something and you meet them in person and that person immediately becomes your biggest fan right yeah man Wayne Brady he can kiss my they really really just do that yeah he's behind me isn't he all away their wages are tracking down these Twitter haters and just showing up at their house right that's in front of the member don't even joke with me because I've dreamt of how to do that I ifsc pitched a show last year that that that the pilot was was gonna be made but then Mario Lopez had a show called haters okay and that tanked and so my show would went away that the premise of my show was because of the online haters and everything right you you get someone to help set up a friend where where let's say this guy oh my god I hate that dude Wayne Brady was a really he yeah the guy's horrible that okay hey Wayne Brady my my friend Doug hates you he was a starbucks over on Katie second street ding a ling ling hi I'd like a coffee yeah here hmm that's not dead man which I don't respect because in a way I don't respect that now if Justin turns around the coffee goes hit so hey and throws it at me Dad in your fight make a coffee in your face then I go okay you know what that man stood behind his opinion not because he had the cloak of the internet that gave him a plus 5 dexterity still there yes he he then stood by his no I don't like you not oh I need something to say but now that you're here and you're an actual person right now I'm gonna change it up yeah that's what I don't respect if they don't change it up and they keep their hate they should win something almost it's like that one they've won a do my hair that they were actually going to UM it was called how you like me now yeah and we actually would spend the entire day together and then at the very end of it I said okay so it's almost like a dating show dude we've spent three hours together made ice cream together we want you dinner I bought you dinner I I put in your hate we've all hung out so yeah how you like me now yeah and they can honestly go well you know man I still don't be funny but your internet same but that's cool yeah because at that point it's a genuine human interaction which i think is cool and that's what my whole act is based on right being in front of an audience is saying hey this is not TV this is stripped down say you say what you're going to say so I can do what I do and let's see how you feel at the end of the night right now that we talked about it about this at CES but in terms of like Xbox Live and PlayStation Network like little kids like talking crap that they would never say in person that they would never see in person and never see in front of their parents unless their parents owned a double-wide out in chatima hooch is seriously dad spent a lot of time on a wife beater hall and as one as oh yeah double duty yes there sure ain't just the name is an occupation way of life it's pretty good yeah now the the the internet definitely allows for 4p I mean you know even our show where sometimes we'll say something we have someone right in you know like maybe 500 words fu this is that why why I don't know well right back and then the table sort of turn sometimes be like oh I really like you show guys I'm sorry I went crazy back there because they didn't expect you to write invest yeah that that I get that all the time on Twitter like oh you just texted me yeah no no really I'm a fan like I follow you what then why did you say oh no yeah just as it was something to say yeah I'm a big believer that Twitter is around for people who love to be enraged it's just there for people who love to get mad at stuff and those types of people people who are easily enraged they just thrive on Twitter and that is their platform they just sort of sit around waiting around what what's going to insult me now what can I really jump on the second it happens oh my god I don't know and then that's it you know so reactionary well I have to admit I'm one of those people okay in the sense of you would never know it from the stuff that I have to do on TV sometimes but I sometimes have anger issues I believe in the sense of I get mad at everything and I get mad and fairness I get mad when I don't think that someone is getting a fair shake sure I get mad when I feel like I'm being judged I get mad when I see a dog get a kick that you're mad remember that so Twitter is is that for me but I don't want it I would love just to say hey to the people that like me but I see one comment I go man you can't engage do not engage gramophone so so I i am the converse of that guy yeah i get enraged because i see people that use twitter and and the internet things they would never say in real life mmm this is my voice yeah well it's free speech well then it will say what you will say it in real life no no no I couldn't possibly that's a different free speech thing I don't really say it um we get fan mail or fan the reverse fan mail sometimes that at let's make a deal where someone gets so offended that there was this letter and they later tweeted me I I do not enjoy your singing and improvisational antics I enjoy gameplay and I want to see who's going to get the money in the curtain this is a game show this is not a variety show it's not a talent show this is not what you did a like wow you really got it so so just to go them on e even more I said so if so what if I just did did just a couple improv games that be okay no this is them this is not about improv hey just look up and then what what I love is when you look at the avatar that tells a lot yep that tells a lie cuz they spend time on that it's very telling yes it's so telling us if the person that gets mad at you doesn't use their own face but a picture of all their cats I don't care what you have to say that doesn't matter when you tweet me about you hate what I'm doing let's make a deal and you have cats on your thing I don't care there you when when you have a picture of an orc yeah yeah holding a unicorn some sort of wizard yeah I admire you in a weird way but I don't care looking up to say your vote does not get show your face yeah and then I go oh that's it that that's a grown person sure or not possible yes so that's okay yeah so funny to me um so I want to get into a little bit of the gaming talk we've spent a lot of time talking about trolling on the internet about what kind of troll you to get after people that's a position ring it bring it bring it on um so yeah gaming you you disclose to us we already knew going into CS you're a big gamer um what have you been playing since I feel like and there and we've been talking a lot about this lately about running out of time to play video games you find that obviously you're a busy man you're involved in a lot of projects do you have the time to play as much as you want to no i don't but i find myself doing the things that addicts do Oh telling the small lives to get out of certain things that may be a meeting that I don't necessarily want to be in because in my head I went well if I get out of that meeting at noon yeah I don't have to be the studio until three so if I don't do the medium noon that I can stay home until two-thirty and I can play because I have become addicted addicted hardcore to um to uh to to uh and and now I blank black ops okay zombie okay makalah judias holiday yeah and I've downloaded all of the different zombie level oh man and and I play with my niece's who I'm the luckiest guy in the world a few my niece's live with me and they're teenagers so downstairs in the TV room there they're playing on a ps3 and I'm upstairs playing with myself and a buddy and sometimes my daughter all the girls that are in my life love video games you like that we play and even my nine-year-old is good so we're up there until two o'clock in the morning i'm the worst parental figure and uncle sometimes because they want to go to bed like no no no we have to get through this level right we have to get to the level now what you're going to do and and we're all on headsets and the ps3 which I hope that Sony's listening the big fault with the multiplayer on ps3 and maybe someone has found a way to get around this is if two of your playing on the same console only one of you can rock the headset right that sucks yeah they were I think there's like something you buy that does sort of like a speakerphone thing where it sort of lets you chat on like a speakerphone in that sort of concept I want that yeah I'm not sure they work well I've tried one out for Xbox not really doing the job because I end up yelling yeah because I end up eat either getting instructions from my daughter to give to the other two right or or I'm yelling at the one who isn't on the headset via her sister she can stop yelling at me uncle shut up and you just open the door who opened that door who opened the door now the hellhounds are here who helped you know the plan we go through this level and then we stop at the first door you get some more money then I'll open the door you get the shotgun that's on the wall and you get the oohs e then we meet at the teleporter duh are you CD gonna head go to Vail Christ school in the morning go to bed man I'm such a jerk when it comes to video games that's so funny because a lot of you know there's a lot of people that sort of say especially in the news lately that games are the end of the world and they're bringing civilization down to a level that we've never seen before they're causing people to commit crimes and there and you know it's it's bigger would cause me to commit a crime before playing a shooting game before shooting a zombie would I would imagine yes I mean how do you feel about that like you know as someone who's so passion about games I mean obviously we are on one side of the fence you know we cover for a living I mean as a big gamer you know well how do you feel that games get thrown in that sort of category like you know metal and rock and roll did in the 80 in the 70s and 80s sort of like that's the reason everyone's worshipping Satan and stuff like that civilization and society will society itself always need to scapegoat sure you always need a scapegoat things aren't going well and I'm sorry this is your fault excuse me it's all ginger ale Justin trick that uh that things aren't going well sure you know why because the video games right because you kids are going around shooting things so you shooting things in real life now that's not to say that there are not individuals who are already because of whatever's going on in their life they're not already at that precipice where it could have been the video game it could have been a book that they read where the character goes in and and and goes out in a blaze of glory right could have been the kid who picked on him yes that exists sure completely I will not be to be the person that goes no no yes that that person's out there but take him over there and then you have the rest of us who have been a gamer since I was a kid with with the first systems and kaliko Atari vision and then I love video games because when I was was growing up reading was my video game because it wasn't accessible right then when you told me you mean I can play this thing and it oh okay that took me to another place it just let me use my imagination even more right and now we're gaming has reached it's basically watching a movie which we all love to do anyway of course but you're in the movie now who are the hero of the movie so as I get away it's perfect yeah and and and it's been proven to increase hand-eye coordination it's just one of those things so yes has someone committed a crime and blamed in a video games and maybe they they were pushed by it in their own head yeah but for the rest of us in the world right no the other six billion of us yeah thanks we're not that guy exact form of enjoyment for us I'd rather be the dude who goes home after a hard day of work and and I let off some steam playing video games right then then smoking crack or charlie shining it very bored or being a Secret Service agent in South America III El Presidente so so I so I defend the gaming industry and I laugh at anyone who like rock and roll's like anything else says that it's that that it's bringing our civilization down sure if anything is bringing our civilization down it's it's Wikipedia hey and people feeling that that that they know things that they really don't right right good point um if you could be if you could star in any video game cuz that's a popular thing now a lot of celebrities and during the you know the gaming world not so much so you know their their motion capturing their lending their voices for voice over stuff you could be involved in the game what would you want to be involved in mmm I would definitely want to be involved in a game a gritty kind of um oh no I take it back it's going to say that I would want to do something like um like the zombie series sure but I think I'd rather be in a halo like type space of mass effect okay universe sure where I'm the renegade captain of this ship and and I've been disavowed by the rest of the Federation because they don't believe that I know the secret of course and and I'm that guy you want to be the Shepherd you want I want to be the Shepherd there you go and then I want to be at the very end of the first game I wanted to be some huge cliffhanger for the next two years the studio pushes the release date back away I'm fills up hype then it comes out there you go I would buy I would play that just on the pitch alone i think or or develop an app called call the the choke a bitch app yes upload your own photo of who you in with you to which i am actually developing i'm joking about it but uh yes so is that it is it was a nice way of sticking that in sick segue yes I'm going out I'm as calm choke bitch it's called Wayne Brady's choked up and then it's inserted because you can put your simpoints no I'm so not putting you on I'll and I
