It's all like just too obvious at this point.

Like you can't get away with this stuff anymore.

I don't want to be. maybe you just get drunk and stay inside.

Good afternoon. Michael Malice here. Let that be a welcome for the next hour and for the next year.

I wanted to open the year with a fun episode. We have with this comedian Ami Kozak. I mean, I saw you on Timcast. You did an impression of Jordan Peterson, which I thought was absolutely epic. Jordan shared it. I saw it. I'm always

fast, and I saw a lot of your content. You do a lot of impressions, different people. I'm always

fascinated by people who do impressions well. This is a long history in American comedy, Frank Gorshin,

Rich Little, people like that. And the first question I just had for you, and I'm going to have you

do some of your favorite impressions in a minute, do you think this is something that can be taught,

or do you think this is some kind of autistic skill that you're born with, that your brain is somehow

picking up things that other people aren't? Well, first off, thanks for having me. Really great to be here.

I've been following for a long time as well. And you got a shout out in that episode too in the voice of Jordan Peterson. I think they were talking about one of the courses you had on Peterson Academy. I think if I'm being very honest, because I see a lot of sometimes TikToks and people trying to teach impressions and stuff. The truth is, as someone who's learned

different kinds of creative skills over the years and crafts, I think this one is the latter

where it's like having perfect pitch. Why is that an F? I don't know. I just know it's an F.

Right. Why can I do Jordan Peterson? I kind of just can. And I can break it down after the fact,

but the initial sensibility is like a

light switch or a puzzle piece that for some reason, observing somebody, I can look into a

mirror, into a proverbial mirror imagination, a fake mirror of sorts in my mind. But instead of

seeing myself, I can see that person and contort.

Because a lot of impressions are also visual more than just what you hear.

It's the whole essence of a person.

So I can break that down.
