Demetri Martin

And in a way, we're changing it again today with one of the most unpredictable people that we know.

There was a line years ago that Dimitri Martin said about Eugene Mirman, another friend of ours, and said that he's the only man in the world w- wouldn't change your idea of him if he started wearing a cape, and I would say Paul Foot is another of those people.

The start of his day is absolutely sensational.

[laughs]

like I probably would.

There's a Demetri Martin joke where he's saying how a nice face isn't a compliment you can ever give anyone.

It always seems like an attack of some sort.

I know, yeah.

So we get a little bit of footage of New York City and Times Square.

You can date exactly when this movie was made because of the ad that is prominently placed for Demetri Martin's stand-up special on Comedy Central, which is right next to the big Jumbotron that they are broadcasting this dance competition on.

Mm-hmm.

And there's definitely footage at various points of like green screen cars driving or like pulling up in front of things.

"Who are your influences?" He said, "Biggest, definitely Bo Burnham.

Others include Dimitri Martin, Mike Birbiglia, Flight of the Conchords, and Pete Holmes." That's a good mix.

His favorite comedian growing up, Mike Birbiglia.

Oh my goodness.

Just laugh at it.

Demetri Martin told me they conditioned one of their professors at Harvard to where he would, whenever he would, he did this habit of pacing.

And so whenever they decided, whenever he would get to the podium, they would all sit up.

and after like two months he stopped pacing

Sure.

There was like a period where I was telling Dimitri Martin jokes and Eddie Izzard jokes.

Okay.

And my teacher at one point was like, that's not your joke.

Uh, okay, growing up, um, what was your first or memorable concert or live event you remember going to? Doesn't have to be your first, but the most memorable.

Demetri Martin was the first-

Oh, wow

... comedian I saw.

Yeah, I had been already, like, for a few years obsessed with comedy.

Yes.

And I was like, "I, uh, Demetri Martin's so funny.

We're gonna be in Austin.
