Matt Damon is helping comedian Andrew Schulz promote his upcoming stand-up hour… by bullying him.

In a new promo for the comedian’s Netflix special, Life, Schulz is minding his business in a diner when his old pal Damon arrives and immediately begins making fun of him.

“Cute baby,” Damon says, observing Schulz with his daughter. “I didn’t get the amber alert.”

After Schulz reveals he’s eating out to celebrate the stand-up special, Damon taunts, “What do you do, stand up there and grow a mustache?”

The Interstellar actor continues to take an interest in the pregnancy-themed special — which sees Schulz unpack the details of using IVF to start a family with his wife — though Damon mostly uses it as an opportunity to keep making fun of him. Eventually, the comedian declares, “Do me a favor: don’t watch the special. It’s not for people like you.”

Damon, offended responds, “What does that mean, people like me? I’ll watch your f—ing ‘I’m shooting blanks’ comedy special as much as I f—ing want to. I’ll watch it twice!”

Damon then stands up and announces the special to the other customers in the restaurant.

“Hey everybody! Andrew Schulz has a comedy special about how his balls are full of oatmeal and we’re all gonna watch it,” Damon proclaims, then snipes at Schulz again when he sits. “F— you, I’m watching it now. I wasn’t gonna watch it, but now I am gonna watch it.”

After offering more details about the special, Schulz eggs him on again, saying, “You better not tell a single person, man.”

“I better not tell? You don’t tell me what I get to tell people. I will tell whoever I want to tell whenever I want to tell,” Damon says before, predictably, standing up with another announcement for the diners: “Hey everybody, this dumbass right here has a special about his low sperm count and it’s on Netflix.”

So how did this collaboration come together? It might have something to do with the fact that Schulz and Damon go way back, and have known one another for years. The Good Will Hunting star told the story last August, during a visit to the Breaking Bread With Tom Papa podcast.

“My friend Larry Schulz and his wife Sandra lived above me and they had these two kids, Greg and Andrew, and they would skateboard around me,” Damon said of his old New York apartment. “My whole life, I watched these kids grow up.”

Damon, an avid stand-up fan, explained that years later, he bumped into a friend and while talking about his old apartment, it came up that they both knew the Schulz family. 

“‘My friend grew up in that building,'” the mutual pal noted and after learning the name, Damon replied, “Oh yeah, Andrew— Larry’s boy! What’s he up to?” 

He was then told, “‘He’s a very, very successful stand-up comedian.'”

The actor, who had seen Schulz’s stand-up online but never connected the dots, was shocked: “I go, ‘F—ing Andrew Schulz is Larry’s kid?!'”

Damon added that the duo reconnected and have kept in touch, as the new promo proves. Confirming that the animosity was just for the cameras, Schulz spoke highly of Damon and worked with him on the video, telling PEOPLE that they squeezed filming in just before Damon left to shoot Christopher Nolan‘s The Odyssey. 

“Matt’s the man. We were in the trailer right before we filmed just riffing on the script and his ideas were hilarious. They made the sketch so much better,” Schulz said. “Also he’s a movie mega-star with no ego. It’s incredibly rare in this business.”
