“So, the one time that they watch screens, which is basically me conceding, and I'm not even sure, I think Alexi would prefer that it wasn't the full, but like we take a train, me and the boys take a train once a week, and it's like, that's your two hours. And I'm just like, what do you want me to load up? Here are your headphones. Enjoy. But it's great. And then other than that, like if it's not bad weather, like they're not watching stuff. Like we just try to, the other thing about being like phones are so bad. Like I, you know, went to a public school. I came home. I immediately turned on TV for like four hours. Yep. And it was.”

“Yeah. Look, it will not surprise you to know it's been a robust conversation at our school. And the phone policy has changed. And this is something we're constantly thinking about. And, you know, we're lucky. We're obviously in a group of like-minded parents who see it as a threat. We all appreciate that the future is your kids are going to be using phones the way we used computers and the way that my parents used the printing press. But you know, it's just smart, I think, to get ahead of it even before your kids are ready for it”

“But, like, she doesn't come to that, nor should she. But, you know, when I do fundraisers, she'll come to those shows and she's an incredibly good sounding board for my material. You know, I get asked a lot, does she have veto power over the jokes? And of course, but that's not the important part. Like, I'm glad she watches because she almost always, even if she's the butt of a joke, will say, you know, this is actually a funnier example of what you're trying to say here. It's a really nice partnership. And again, you know, I was a comedian when we met, so it's not like she's not.”

“That's not true. I should say, and nor should she. Like, she doesn't watch late night every night, but there's never been an hour I've been working on that she hasn't seen like four or five times. Now, with that said, I'm doing a residency at the beacon theater once a month.”

“If anything, I do think, obviously I celebrate anybody's choice to have kids or not have kids, but when I didn't have kids, I thought, oh, people with a lot of kids are crazy. And now that I have three, I'm sort of like, if we started earlier. I don't know if I would have stopped having kids. Yeah. You know, like I.”

“It's so shocking to me because I, of course. Know a great many more liberal people than conservative people, and I know not any of them to care less about their families. And it's so strange how. They're able to I don't know. Just look you flat in the eye and take the position that they have a better sense of what it means to be a part of a family or to take care of a family than the other side does. I mean, again, their bad faith actors, and this is.”

“You'll pull a sweater off as fast as you can, and then the collar catches and pulls one eyebrow way up, and you clockwork orange your child into seeing what they've done to you. I think it's just that suppressing your true self, which is you. If anyone else in your world behaved the way your kids would, there would be a way you'd react that is now not acceptable or effective with kids. And so you just, it's almost like learning a foreign language late in life where, again, you're saying, I don't care for the fact that you dumped your oatmeal on the floor. And that is as crazy to you as conjugating a regular Italian verbs. Careful.”

“Wife can be mean. She would also Off on this. But again, you know, like there's a lot of work that goes into the special too. That justify my wife's meanness. And to just say she's mean without showing the work, you know, there were times, by the way, there are, you know, I ran the hour a few times and maybe didn't have that undergirding. And if I left a bad taste in my mouth. So it's always just trying to find the balance.”

“Course, but I think that, you know, again, the version that's on HBO has been I've done this hour so many times, and you sort of find out by trying. And for me, the line is never about. You know, pushing the bounds of good taste, it's just You know, sometimes I'll tell a story that is critical of something my wife did, and I can sense when the audience.”

“And so they came and they heard me warm up the crowd. And that story that's in the special about them meeting President Biden, I tell in the warm-up. And they were so tickled to know that I was sort of telling a story about them to strangers, especially one where, you know, it's about me being delighted in watching how they act. So, you know, look, I'm sure there's something coming, but I don't quite know how to be a comedian father and not have that.”

“My lobby baby loves being lobby baby. And I feel like the older one, Ash Will sometimes be in the park and people come over and say, Which one's Lobby Baby? And Ash will say, He's Lobby Baby. I'm hospital baby, and I don't have the heart to tell him that that's not that novel or interesting, but they do like being, I think, Of who I think they love knowing I talk about them. And they recently came to the show just, I forget, oh, they came because we had a couple of New York Knicks on. And so the boys wanted to come and meet the Knicks. And they're never at the show.”

“Well, first of all, I'm very cognizant of the fact that, you know, by the time they hit 12 or 13, they will have permission to say, hey, I'm off limits, FYI. And I think they will be able to tell that it is a loving portrayal. And I try very hard to make sure that the dumbest person in my special. Talk about my family, which they would, by the way, all sign off on that assessment.”

“It's great anytime you're a parent and your kid says something funny, it's so much better if you're a comedian because the minute he said it, I couldn't wait to get out on stage and tell it to you. Because that's the thing, the most important thing to me is that my kids are happy, but I also love when they're material. To put it in a simpler way, I want them to be content, but I also want them to be content.”
