![]() Put it this way: in LA, I get bothered by people who have fake projects and are just trying to pitch something. In LA, a few people come up to me here and there. There's no way I'm answering this question without seeming like a douchebag. When you go out to a club, how often do you get recognized? So I'm just going to be bold enough to tell them that they're fucking wack. When people are wack, I don't always look for confrontation and start shit, but at the same time, if they do something that really rubs me the wrong way, I'm going to call them out for their bullshit, because I don't care about people like that, and I don't care what they think about me. ![]() The only reason why I don't like to do it is that it's kind of stating the obvious a little too much, but there's no way I can survive without calling people out on their complete bullshit. Is calling people out on their phoneyness something you'd like to do? They just drink Grey Goose and talk about how wonderful they are and hot they are. How can she wear that? What is that? Is that even a dress?" And I'm looking at her, and flat out was like, "Are you out of your mind? Are you here to talk about people and how they look? You sound so retarded." And she didn't like that at all, because I don't think a lot of people call that out. And I'm like, "You're the one fucking coming up to me, don't act all arrogant." Because she came up to me and started to talk to me and started judging people and pointing out people, like, "Ugh. This girl came up to me and started to talk to me, but acted like I was lucky to talk to her. What sort of stuff were they talking about that gave them away? And after scooping out the whole place, every single girl in the place seemed like a complete fake moron. They could be good looking, they could not be good looking, they could be average. I made a point in a douchey club to look around and listen to girls talk and see if I could find one real person that's not completely wack. If you're in Hollywood in the mix of hot nights out- I was thinking about how fake girls were. When I go to these douchey clubs- because I do go to the douchey clubs sometimes, I'm not going to try- it's really like a fucking middle school, it's so immature how much of a popularity contest it is. It's not like the whole fucking place is a popularity contest. Real people who don't have one-track minds. Overall, I think New York is much more fun, because of the million things to do all the time, never closes. How do you feel about New York compared to LA? About a year after that we pitched my show and it got picked up, and then I went back to New York to do that. I moved to LA to work on Jimmy Kimmel live. No, actually I've been here for about five years. I thought you were living in New York the whole time you were doing the MTV stuff. In this LAist Q and A, Andy discusses the phoniness he despises, his return to online shorts with My Damn Channel, and his plans for touring the country by bus. Milonakis finds inspiration in his roommate, a newcomer to the industry who managed to make his very own film using only his wits and initiative, which stands in sharp contrast with the desperate amateurs that ask Andy to help pitch their pilots or read their scripts. Andy's come full circle and is currently at work on a full length rap album, but despite all he's accomplished so far he remains hard on himself for not doing more. ![]() Andy Milonakis jumped into public consciousness after making some freestyle rap videos on the web, which led to him appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and then getting his own MTV program.
