Joe Rogan Experience #207: Tom Segura, Christina Pazsitzky

Joe Rogan: Yeah. Well I’ve definitely… we’ve all gone through that experience of recording something and then the next week you have a new tag line.

Christina Pazsitzky: Oh, it kills me. It kills me.

JR: Mitch Hedberg actually redid a bit on the second album because he didn’t have the tagline and said it on the album that he was doing that. “Here’s the new part…”

CP: Yeah, cause that’s tempting when you’ve actually recorded the bit… then maybe you should throw it out. Because you’ve recorded it. You know, why hold on to something that you can’t use again?

JR: Well, I talked to (Jim) Gaffigan about this and he and I are sort of in agreement about this. Yeah, you gotta have all new shit but you also have to do well. You can’t have a bad show and if you’re tanking it with all your new stuff it might be time to bust out some shit that really works and just pull this bitch out of the fire. You have to find… when is that time?

Like some guys, I think Louis CK pretty much just guts it out. And when he does new stuff he just does only new stuff. You know? Chris Rock used to do that too. Remember he used to come to the (Comedy) Store and he would just do only new stuff. And you know, not be concerned whatsoever about it not going well. He’s trying to make it go well, but if it doesn’t, he’s sticking to it. He’s not going to pull out some old shit out of his bag.

Tom Segura: Well, that’s the way you build.

JR: That’s one way. That’s certainly a way. Some guys like to sandwich it between other bits and you know, then slowly develop them as new chunks.
