Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
with his bird hanging out,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:13.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
tracking jokes to people and climbing up on them
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:14.840
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
for a stool lap dance or whatever he does.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:17.080
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I'd love to dig into something he did.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:19.400
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
You guys did a lot of great podcasts together.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:22.080
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
He asked you in a very uncomfortable process
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:24.520
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
of why you don't do standup.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:28.440
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
So let me ask you, do you hate money?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:29.840
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Well, I'm originally from Canada, yeah.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:33.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
So yeah, I'm a fricking pinko socialist.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:36.560
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Is that where you come from?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:40.880
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
That's not a nice thing to say.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:42.760
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I thought the Soviet Union,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:44.520
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that is a nice thing to say.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:46.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Like comrade, he's a good socialist with red,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:47.920
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
like some bold colors, yeah.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:56.240
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
There was an interesting tension in your voice
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:09:58.280
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and the way you talked about it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:00.320
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
There's just not a source of happiness for you.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:01.400
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
You respect the art form,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:04.200
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
but it was not something that you were connected to,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:05.320
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
you felt connected to.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:08.600
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
That's a good way to put it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:09.600
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Yeah, I respect the art form a lot.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:10.520
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And I grew up with all the albums and stuff.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:14.080
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I had an older brother and sister who,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:16.160
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
so we had George Carlin, we had Richard Pryor,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:18.520
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
we had Robert Klein, we had Gilda Live,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:23.680
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
the Gilda Radner concert, we had all sorts of stuff.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:26.800
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
But I don't know, there's a lot of reasons.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:30.160
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I do feel like a career in show business
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:33.840
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
is it never goes the way you plan, like most things.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:37.280
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And I was fortunate enough to get started
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:41.720
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
outside of my native Vancouver or in my native Vancouver.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:44.000
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I grew up in the burbs outside
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:47.200
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and there was a lot of industry there.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:48.600
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
So I was fortunate enough to get started as an actor
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:50.600
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
when I was like 16.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:53.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
So yeah, there were some times early on
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:54.720
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
where I came up with some standup stuff and did it,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:10:59.720
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
but yeah, I quickly abandoned it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:03.240
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And then you go through, you do Mad TV and stuff,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:06.080
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and that's where my, and this is gonna sound weird.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:09.760
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Do I sound as anxiety as I did when I was on Bobby's podcast
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:13.200
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
trying to avoid his questions?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:16.200
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Well, he was giving you this face this whole time
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:18.240
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that was making the whole just atmosphere feel
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:20.320
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
full of anxiety.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:24.320
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
So I'm trying not to give you a face.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:25.160
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
The whole time I was saying, play cool, play cool.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:26.960
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Yeah, okay.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:28.880
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Play cool, Lex.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:30.200
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Play cool.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:31.040
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
You said it out loud a couple of times.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:31.880
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I did.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:33.320
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Just, you know, you cut that out.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:34.160
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Play cool.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:35.000
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Play cool, dude.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:35.840
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Cut out, cut it out.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:36.680
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Maintain, bro.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:37.500
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Here's what I'll say.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:38.340
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
There's two ways to do it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:39.180
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I think it's lame when someone who's done one thing
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:40.000
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
for a while goes and starts doing standup out of nowhere.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:42.040
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Cause I think it's an art form that's under attack
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:46.120
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
because it's not like anything else.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:49.520
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
You need, although now you can of course,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:51.760
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
you know, make whatever you want.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:55.120
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
It's the era of self publishing as far as making a product
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:56.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and putting it out there, which is getting easier,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:11:59.680
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
of course, and I can't wait to talk to you about that
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:01.960
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
with AI and how it's changing art.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:03.720
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
But in standup, all you need is a microphone
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:07.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and you know, perhaps it'd be good
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:12.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
to have some mental illness
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:14.760
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and then you can just run up there and talk forever.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:16.240
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And I say this to, you know, comedians.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:20.200
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
It's like, you guys have to deal with just
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:22.920
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
an influx of people who aren't sure
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:25.260
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
why they're doing comedy.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:29.700
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I would ask comedians, I mean, not good ones,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:30.960
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
good ones, you know what they're doing,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:33.640
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
but everyone else like, what are you doing?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:34.720
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Why, why are you doing standup?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:36.040
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Having said that, I am allergic to money.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:38.040
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Yeah, do you think they have a good answer for that?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:40.320
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Why are they doing it?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:42.520
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Cause I actually like when I'm in Austin,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:43.360
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I like going to open mics, just listening.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:45.040
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
It's inspiring to me, both the funny and the unfunny people
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:47.600
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
because they've been doing it for several years.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:52.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Sometimes over a decade and they're still at it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:55.040
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
They're still right there.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:58.080
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
There's going for the punch and then especially open mics
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:12:58.960
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that are really sad in that there's, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:13:02.200
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
only like five other people in the audience
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:13:05.840
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and they're usually just other comedians
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:13:07.960
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and they're still going all out
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:13:10.000
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
as if they're in front of a stadium.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:13:12.000
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
But that to me sounds like someone who loves it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:13:14.000
