-It's been a while since you've been here,
and I know it's been a while because you have a 20-month-old,
and you didn't have it last time you were here,
so it's been at least 20 months. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
-Congratulations. -No, she's 12.
-She's 12 years old? [ Laughter ]
-Oh, you're talking about the kid.
I thought you were talking about the dog.
-Oh, yeah. [ Laughter ]
-I just go to -- Yeah, yeah.
No, there's a -- Yeah, what do you call it?
A -- A -- A baby thing. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah, yeah.
-You and your wife, Amber Tamblyn,
had a baby, a little girl. -Yep.
-And you took your -- -For now.
-Well, okay. -I'm not pressuring her.
-Oh, okay. -She can do whatever she wants.
-Oh, good for that. Yeah.
-They can do whatever they want.
Sorry. I got to get with the lingo.
-Yeah, there you go. -I don't know what it is.
-You, uh... You took her on tour.
-Aww! -Aww! Look at that.
[ Audience "Awws" ] -Come on.
-Look at you guys surfing the world wide web together.
That's fantastic. -Yeah.
-So, she went on tour, and this is a proper tour bus, yes?
-Yeah. My wife, Amber,
came out with a book, called "Any Man,"
which is great. You should get it.
[ Laughter ]
And the book was released the same time that the tour started.
And we did this just completely coincidentally the last tour
where she had a book come out when I was touring,
so we all went out, and she would do
bookstore readings/signings, and I'd do the show that night.
And, you know, we consulted a bunch of people,
like, "How long can you leave an infant on their own?"
[ Laughter ]
And they were like, "A week is too much."
[ Laughter ]
So... [ Laughter ]
So, yeah. We had the bus,
and we had a crib constructed in the back, and we all went.
We were out for 2 1/2 months. -That's fantastic.
What a great amount of time to spend as a family.
-Yeah, every day. I saw my kid every day.
-It's great.
It's harder to do than you would think.
I mean, if you work all the time.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-Obviously, you're a comedian, you have a kid now.
Do you find that you have fatherhood material
now that you have a child?
-It hasn't occurred to me.
[ Laughter ]
But, yeah, I have some very dark jokes about that.
[ Laughter ] I do.
Except, I will say this.
If you're coming, we've only got like
eight shows left in the tour, but all the jokes were written
when she was 1. So in this set, she's 1.
-Okay, gotcha.
-Don't be thrown off when I say...
-Well, you can still say 1-year-old
when they're 20 months, right?
Can't you, or no? -No, that's a lie.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
It is weird how you -- I guess you go 1,
and then you have to do all the months until 2,
and then you stop. Right? And then you just go...
-And then you never mention their age again.
No. 'Cause it looks bad on you.
It makes you look bad. -Yeah, well it makes me older.
Yeah, and I don't like that. -I get it.
-Your show, you're touring with a show called Oh Come On.
How did you come up with the title Oh Come On?
-I didn't, actually. The audience did.
[ Laughter ] They did.
No. Let me explain.
I -- I've never put a set together from scratch, you know?
And I went out, and I had several months
where I was just gonna get a set together.
So I would go out, and three nights a week, Brooklyn,
go do shows where I was just talking with notes and stuff,
and I taped the sets and transcribe them
and go, "That's a bit.
That sounds like it could be a bit."
And then, as the set was developing,
I would have Q&As with the audience after the set.
I would say, you know, "Too many of this joke?
Should this come here? What about this bit?
What did you think about that?"
And I had a couple ideas, and this happens every tour.
I had a couple ideas for what I wanted the title to be,
and I suggested one of them, and the audience,
like, en masse is like, "No! Boo! Boo!"
[ Laughter ]
And they were right.
It was a terrible, pretentious punny name and awful.
And I was like, "Wow, okay. What about this?"
And they booed that.
And then I said, "Well, what do you think?"
And then two people, independent of each other,
in two different parts of the audience one night
at The Bell House in Brooklyn, both said, "Oh, come on,"
at the same time, and it references something,
a bit in the set, and it also kind of speaks --
It has a general, like, "Oh, come on," you know,
for our times today.
-It's also a wonderful --
I feel like that nobody has a good crowdsourcing story,
and the fact that you actually went out
and trusted your audience to give you feedback
is a really nice, lovely thing to hear.
-Yeah, and I only charged them 5 bucks for that session.
-Right. [ Laughter ]
-So it's smart. It's good for them.
It's only costing -- They paid to get in already.
-Yeah. -This way, you know,
it's just an extra $5 from everybody
if you want to pipe up, you know.
If you want me to hear your sound.
-An extra $5. -Yeah, yeah.
