Jamie Kennedy

0:03So what happened to customs? Are we on the radio right now? I'll tell you. I went to customs and I guess I lied. So you shouldn't do that. But I had a work permit to shoot a movie up here in Eureka, the TV show I shot up here. I saw my permit and they said, you come here to work and I said no. And they said, what are you coming to do? And I said, I'm coming to hang out. And they said, well, you know, a lot of celebrities don't come and hang out. I'm like, I'm not like real celebrity. Yeah, you are your James Kennedy. And I was like, well, and he goes, hey, Roger, it says here, he's performing at the casino. It's on the website. Oh no. He says, are you performing? And I said, no, I'm just maybe, I mean, I might throw me up.

0:49Wait, I want to tell this on the radio. And then they pulled me, they made me, they said, just don't, they went back and forth and they said, don't lie. And I said, okay. And then they said, you're lucky you didn't have that officer there. You wouldn't be in the country right now. Oh God. I know how you guys must feel. And then coming to America. And then they went and I didn't declare all my merchandise. And they said, why do you have 100 G-shirts? And I said, I don't know, it's cold. And I'm like, no, you're silly. You lied again. And I was like, I know I did it. I just said, so then they charged me a fee and I was scared. Now they said if I lie one more time, I'm on a list. Oh no. A Canadian line of this. A Canadian line of this. That's very professional.

1:34Does that mean I'm going to not be able to come near anymore and watch the blue jays or the Canucks or the Oilers? Hey, look at you. You're learning our country. I was going to say I thought it might be going to pot that screwed you. Did you say going to pot? Yeah. Do you know about that? I know, a little bit, not much. I know that it's, it's, uh... We have a show called going to pot. Yeah, I'm trying to sell it. It's hard to sell though, but it's about these guys that have quit their regular jobs and have become medical marijuana dispensers. And they have a whole store and it's all the crazy things that they see in their store. And the farmers were selling the show. We did it independently that people are, you know, scared to talk about weed. Oh, of course. But it won this festival, it won the independent television festival, and people love it.

2:22I mean, it's funny because weed we think is going to be legal very soon. Well, it seems pretty close when I was down there this summer. Yeah, and practically legal here, easier to get weed in this country than it is in my shirt. Yeah, fair enough. But if you're listening, I didn't bring any weed to the Canadian government. No, no, he did not. I did not. I'm on his shirt. So, uh, so I'm sure that's going to, that's going to fall into the act over the weekend. I'm sure you'll be mentioning this kind of stuff. But what, uh, what is your act like? I mean, I saw Heckler and there's a couple of things here and there from the act, but I haven't seen you live. So for the people that haven't, is it sketch kind of stuff or what is it? Well, I do. I have a special coming out on Showtime. Oh, yeah? November 6th. It's called Jamie Kennedy Uncomfortable. And, uh, you know, I just talked about how my life is uncomfortable and how all the things happen to me here.

3:12Uncomfortable and just like simple radio friendly things are like, you know, like, sometimes people will come up to me and just, you know, just girl, she came out to me the other day and like, you know, I like being recognized and she's like, oh my God, I want to take a picture. She hands the camera to her friend. She's like, Stacy, take a picture. She's like, take a picture with me and Jamie Foxx. I'm like, Jamie Foxx. He was, he had good intentions. Yeah, you know, people like, I mean, you're wrong. And a lot of different things happen to me in my life, but they tell exactly talk about on the radio. Yeah, fair enough, fair enough. You know, I can characters and stuff, stuff like that. Well, hecklers all about criticizing and critics. And I mean, for the most part, critics are just assholes really at the end of the day. A heckler, you know, is trying to get attention, but does a comedian not criticize the world to a degree?

4:00Are you not a critic in sorts on the opposite end of that? Yes, it's a very good, it's a valid point. I was thinking about that because hecklers are like, I talked about it and the point of that movie was, so they kind of show that hecklers are the most docile of the attacks now. It's like a heckler is actually the bravest and most docile because it basically is someone that says something to you live and they're there and then you can deal with them. But like critics, yeah, comedians do they have a take on the world, they criticize the world, and they make it fun. The job of the comedian hopefully is to make it funny. Right. That's the difference between a critic who is just out and right, who he's just mean or not even creatively mean,

4:47and they just rip you. And so like a lot of these, now with the internet, it's just so much worse that just everyone is what we call a keyboard cowboy, you know, a keyboard ninja, you know, and they just say whatever they want and everything sucks and everything. But there's no creativeness in why it sucks or you know, it's very fair, rare that you see that. So. There's a scene. Kind of what that is. Yeah, there's a scene in the movie where you're asking your agent what bits you can do at a Catholic school. It's my, it's just, I don't know why that's my favorite scene in the movie, but it is. Oh, because I talk about it's like a Catholic school and I had all these jokes about Harry Potter being gay. You can't do that. And I was like, what can I do my Shrek smoking pot? And she's like, no, you can't do that.

5:33So it's like, you know, there's a lot of rules. So it seems. A different thing. Is it comedy to you kind of in that regard then where it's a different bit, kind of like a musician with a setlist for songs? I mean, I guess it's like, you know, a comedian really, it's different because if you have an act, it should go for like an hour. And it just things should flow into the theme of your show and end up, you know, what it is as being a whole, you know, like you have a whole theme in your show. Sometimes you can sing songs and you don't have to be a theme. They could just be kick ass songs. But yeah, I mean, it's hard to sometimes take this out, but you can do it usually, obviously.

6:19But it's songs I think would be easier to fit in. Well, you do a little bit of rapping on stage. Do you bring up the character? Sometimes people ask me to. So I usually spit a rhyme about, you know, the local place, which this week I might have to spit about customs officials. Spit. There you are using the real raptors. The real raptors. How is your men's sweatpants line coming? It's coming good. You actually have them, man. It doesn't look because, you know, the whole thing talks about girls that says juicy on their buttons. It's not fair. Like I started one for guys on the front where it's just packaged. For real though? Yeah, I have on myself. One to say package and I have another one. It's dinner and then I'm going to start the third one that says the other white meat.

7:05Those are good. It's cold up here right now. Get them while you're hot. But make sure you declare them before you come into the country. You still working on Ghost. What do you call it? The Wisp? The Wispy is now canceled. You're going to have the last season here. Oh, really? But we stopped production in April and, you know, it's sad, but it was a great time. And now I'm working on the Cleveland show. Are you really? Okay. Yeah, I do a voice on that. And I just shot a movie actually with a fellow, Knook. Adam Copeland, his real name. That's his own name, but his name is the Edge. Oh, the wrestler. Yeah. And we just did an action comedy together.

7:50So we just finished that in the Orleans. Is that bending the rules? That's bending the rules. Someone's gone to Google and he used to be in. He taught me about 10 bits because I used to go to Tim Horton. He's like, no, you want to be local? Get a two and two? A double double. There you go. If you like it extra sweet, you'll get a double triple. And he asked him not give you some 10 bits. And I was like, are you coming on to me? We do this thing on the show. Five questions, five quick questions. One word answers. All right. Scripts are improv. Improv. Acting or stand up? Acting. Leonard McCartney. Bit that you've written your most proud of. Umm.

8:36Alter Boyce. Alter Boyce. That's a good one. And one word, Jamie Kennedy. Thanks, you all.
