0:12I don't really like do like Scors. I like alcohol and I like coffee. Hmm. I don't mind big cigar guy Do you want alcohol? I'll have it maybe in like second half of the show second half of the show I like I like to feel a cap for a pair glasses with ice The second half the show and things let's things start get a little sideways. Yeah So what's happened brother? How you doing great great? I've been on the road just going pretty hard with this hour and I Love it. I love I still will romanticize the road I still love it and I did I did theaters last year for the first time ever just the theater run So that now I'm back in clubs to just tighten it, but it's I love it man.
0:50Yeah Clubs are the best It's the best experience the arena is a pretty nice. Yeah fun in the round. They're really fun They look fun theaters are fun, but it's slightly removed from a club club is better than a theater Yeah, it's pretty cool. I mean theaters. I forgot how intimate clubs were just doing theaters Yeah, last year and being like oh shit. I can see when a dude's frowning You know, I can see one person having a bad time now So that I forgot about that, but there was a guy in Dallas over the weekend He just kept doing this to me and I'm like what the fuck and I was like, oh your girlfriend's the fan He's not he doesn't like me.
1:29This girl. He was just a drunk. Oh, wow And I peeled out of me was drunk on a wrong too, which is the fun to me. It's like funny That's a Jimmy Buffett drunk. It's just not you don't see a lot of white dudes with goaties who are rum drunk So I was like all right, but yeah, he was he was just a he was a bad drunk, but she was cool as hell Well, sometimes guys have a real hard time with their girlfriend being a fan of a guy I feel like most of the people who like me or dudes, but yeah me too when I see women out there I'm like great. Yeah, I'm I see a lady's a table top of four. I'm like fuck yes Yeah, when whenever a lady asks me are you trorogan?
2:04I'm like, yeah, I'm a fan of your podcast and I was like that's crazy Thank you. I mean, I'm sure you have a lot of female for me. It's a big pod is the number two female podcast What's number one true crime? That makes sense like one of them true crime shows women love true crime Yeah, so this women do listen to it. Yeah, but it's not you know, I'm a guy and I'm probably annoying I get it. I get it like if you're a woman and you don't mean that this is a bro heavy show You know like when we do protect our parks or when we do a fight companion or the fights are definitely Brought for bros. Yeah, and then when I have fighters on less.
2:40It's female fighters. I've had a bunch of female fighters on too You know female fighters are probably my best Example that I point to when people think that something horrible about fighting that it's like brutality and it's wrong and it's barbaric and I'll point them to some female fighters I'm like just listen to this woman talk like listen to Rose Nama Unis talk about fighting and like listen to her post -fight speeches Which is telling everybody that we just have to be nicer to each other. It is pretty cool to be almost like Buddhist Anaphyter. She's an amazing Amazing human very unusual human being you know elite world -class fighter world champion multiple times And like one of the sweetest nicest people alive She's so nice to her opponents after fights That's I don't know a lot about fighting a lot of have learned from here and you talk and stuff But I and you know, I remember watching a fight with like Lewis Gomez and Dave Smith once and they knew so much about it That's how you get me into it like backstory and stuff Yeah, like I'm a insane NBA fan.
3:41I love sports, but Yeah, I mean the The camaraderie in that stuff to me is like what interests me also is like You know growing up as a 90s basketball fan these guys fucking hated each other like wanted to fight like Oakley Rodman they were like down to fight you and mind games and shit and now they all play a you ball together So they're all buddies and that so part of it's kind of lost a little it's weird like the camaraderie's beautiful And it's not and now the trades are so often that like you're gonna end up on this dude's team at some point anyway Yeah Well, I guess it's probably the best players can figure out how to always play as a team while playing their best You know if your ego allows you to yeah, that's the thing of stubborn like I'm definitely no basketball expert But I when I watch like high performing athletics It's in a team sports environment.
4:36It's always this dance between what is the best thing to do to score Versus what do I want to do what do I want to do since I have the ball What do I want to try to show off? I want to try to pull off something wild or do I pass you know like what do I do and then people get upset when you don't make You know the ladder when you don't pass enough right? That's like a big one Yeah, if you if you slow down like I mean think about it If you want to simplify to like kids playing in the park if you're playing your ass off on D And you have one dude just like I so dribbling the whole time on offense You're like you're you're wasting our energy You're being a dick.
5:11I don't like that. So yeah, I think it's always gonna be guys like that that just want the ball But you have to know who you are. I mean, it's like anything else like if you know what's funny about you You'll be a better comic right if you know what's what your purpose is as a basketball player I'm a defender. I'm a three -point specialist knowing who you are is is all of it really, you know It's one of the classic fumbles of all time as a guy who talks shit while playing basketball and then gets his ass kicked Yeah, but it's so satisfying It's the worst thing ever. I mean I see people should talking like Steph Curry I'm like you know how this ends.
5:44It's like shit talking Jack Richard. You're gonna fucking lose so ridiculous Yeah, why are you doing that people are so delusional like the difference between a world -class athlete and the average person is such a gap But then again, there's some people out there They're just genetic freaks and you know they They probably you know are young and it's super cocky and they might be elite some day and they think they are right now Right, you know, it's just like that's just a part of like being a male You know involved in competitive sports. They're all just going after each other whether it's with basketball or football or especially with fighting On the professional level it can be cool, but when you play with your friends in the park and you have that one guy with younger problems And you're like I had a friend who used to yell at people might do that guy's homeless You got to stop yelling at a homeless guy.
6:37I had a friend who used to do that at the comedian softball game You would do it to him and this other dude who's also my friend doing scream in each other's faces Screaming like two gorillas just screaming in each other's faces It was so ridiculous some people need that to get some am stuff like Michael Jordan would create shit He would create reasons to be mad at it like there's this famous story about MJ Where he like a guy was like he had a career night about against Michael Jordan a career night 39 points or something MJ had an off night and at the end of the game He was like good game to Michael Jordan and Jordan was like oh, I'm gonna fucking kill him like he said it like in his head sarcastically so the next time they played Jordan annihilates him like humiliates him and then it later came out the guys like I never said that I didn't say shit to my but Jordan is so crazy He needs fuel to just be like you wronged me in some way, and that's how all right He probably put it in his head that the guy did said that totally yeah, but that's like psychotic Well, that's how you get to be Michael Jordan That's the one you're the elite of the elite That's just such a special mindset to be able to be that good at anything whether it's Tiger Woods at golf or Michael Jordan at basketball or Mike Tyson at fighting To get that good at anything Man, that is so rare You it requires so much insane focus on one goal and you're competing with What a thousands and thousands of other elite athletes?
8:09Yeah, but also have their eye on this one goal. Well Tiger Woods is a great example Like it's almost like you know you're a kid and you learned a you learn a language at like two years old And you're like well that kids speak Spanish now. It was easy for him. That's what Tiger's dad did to him with golf It's like oh you just know that this is what it takes right with golf and then of course you need to fuck 40 ,000 women you have to I look like Tiger Woods exact and I mean yeah, let him have it. Yeah, it's all things ridiculous But also it's like you see in that guy the difference between what elite athleticism applied to golf can He got banged up.
8:48Yeah, well you don't hear about that many golfers that go through as many surgeries I know he the one surgery for his leg, but bunch of its back stuff, right? Yeah, and you got to think that fucking torque that guy puts in that club like how many times can you do that before your back Just goes fuck you. Yeah, you know the way that guy hits a ball and he's one of those dudes We're like growing up. I'd be like oh you can be a fat golfer and then you see no your body will probably break down Tiger's fucking ripped. Yeah, he's jacked show me a video of him hitting This episode is brought to you by net suite until they invent a crystal ball who knows what the future holds for business Until then over 40 ,000 businesses have future proof their business with net suite by Oracle the number one cloud ERP bringing accounting Financial management inventory and HR into one platform with real -time insights and forecasting You're able to peer into the future and seize new opportunities Download the CFO's guide to AI and machine learning for free at net suite dot com slash Rogan that's net suite dot com slash Rogan This episode is brought to you by Buffalo trace distillery actually have some Buffalo trace cigars here They just sent me one of the world's most award -winning distilleries that's been making whiskey the same way for more than 200 years made as a tribute to the rugged free spirited pioneers who blaze their own trail to new frontiers It embodies the perfectly untamed spirit of independence It defines what an award -winning bourbon should be aged nearly twice as long as competitors in new charred White oak barrels and bottled at 90 proof Buffalo trace is the perfect bourbon to be enjoyed in Any way anywhere and the taste.

Oh, I was gonna show you this which is kind of it's almost more impressive his ability to stop mid -stage This is this rear window who's shooting this right here.
11:35This is like on field stuff But it's really it's I mean, why did he stop mid swing because either someone made a noise or something just distracted them But like you're already going and you're so torqued up by the time you're in the back there to stop is It takes a lot. It's just like a mental mental fortitude and then also to be able to stop without fucking up But it is kind of funny the abuse other athletes take compared to golfers like this was probably heard if you're playing football Yeah, I mean verbal from the from an audience like all right I mean if you're if you're playing I used to a podcast with Julian Edelman who's a Super Bowl champ with a Patriot three times Great guy, but he would tell me Yeah, they would throw dildos at me on the field in Buffalo because they hated me now and in golf They're like quiet quiet and like you can't take any noise.
12:23Yeah, there's no noise. It's a different focus But there is that one tournament that they do word is a giant crowd They see that one that problem with that this weekend they did this week. They had a problem. Yeah, what happened to many people And they stopped selling alcohol like one in the afternoon. Oh, we're getting so fucked up. Oh, no Yeah, it's like I mean that I don't know like no one got hurt or anything. Can you show a video? Well, I want to see a video of him hitting the ball first, but then I want to show Sam the video of this golf tournament I Mean they get the dude the way his whole body like Swings that club.
12:58There's so much force Also, you see that emotion damn And the gears of practice like how many times is he swung a club? I should say I know nothing about golf, but like he's a dude if he's playing you're like yeah It's fucking cool to watch Tiger Woods. Yeah, it's cool to watch. How does he play Jamie since he broke his leg? He has played okay like he can't most since he broke his leg. He hasn't played that many rounds really apparently have a terrible leg break like really bad. Yeah That's scary. Is this song gonna be good? This one is good. Yeah, yeah His son's out driving him now, which I don't know what that means really only but like that's really good That's power at a young age.
13:42That's insane. This is that crazy hole the 16th at the waste management So look at this Phoenix open look at the crowd. There's like a gigantic crowd. They're loud people are loud Wow, they make it like a big stadium. Look at that. It's pretty cool I mean listen to that cheer for golf Some of the players like encourage it on this hole, you know, oh my god. They're so loud
14:17Oh, shit. Holy shit. Oh shit Everybody see that is so much more impressive to do that in front of a crowd. Yeah, you know I mean, there's something kind of fucking cool about that. You have to shut out the world. I mean, that's that's a talent, too For sure for sure, especially in something that's so Touch -oriented like, you know, you just you're just you're concentrating on how many revolutions you're gonna put on a ball on grass Yeah, you know, it's like there's so much touch to it that any little You're fucked. Yeah golf and tennis. I don't I've never been to either and I Tennis when it's on TV.
14:56It's one of those one like man that the shape you've got to be in This was the crowd when he this was the last time So insane look at this crowd. Yeah, this is stressful Look at many people that is he's got to keep it together I think he had pretty much had it like wrapped up by now, but you still have to make the last you know two shots You can easily fuck those up. Dude, there's so many people That's so ridiculous. What do you think of his dad? I mean, it is a weird way to raise a child I'm not really familiar with exactly what happened Well, his dad just turned him into Tiger Woods I mean, this is like it's almost like a superhero origin story.
15:33I mean, you don't have if you become this you don't have a good childhood Yeah, and you you probably also don't didn't have a choice no way Yeah, but that's the question. Is it different than being a beige mom? It's a good question. It's a good question like how much is too much right? I mean look at this is kind of dark He's two Here's a golf club and he's two Bro, that's insane the doc is incredible. It's on HBO. I think it's incredible his form is immaculate at two
16:13Wow, but that's a lot of hours like daddy Please let me watch cartoons and he's like fuck you. You're gonna work on your swing I mean, that's kind of sad. There's a little bit of that for sure Yeah, you would like someone to just gravitate towards something Yeah, and then you encourage them is as far as they want to go with it I think about it in sports a lot too We're a guy like LeBron who came from absolutely nothing and became LeBron He's got a son now who first of all being LeBron son can't be easy, right? You're it's got to be hard a lot of pressure a lot of pressure And he's a good player.
16:43It looks like he's gonna make the NBA But like you're talking to me LeBron Also, it's like okay, you have every advantage you grew up in a incredible home You have trainers around the clock versus a guy who's like hungry as hell. Yeah, I mean It's an interesting study if you had two guys with those talents and it's like almost like a fucking Trading places type thing maybe I'm thinking like you put him okay, which is better? The hungry guy I agree hungry guy with good genetics wins every time. Yeah Because he needs it. Yeah, it's a different mindset So it's it's got to be very difficult to engage in something like combat sports or pro football I'm not saying it's not possible But it's got to be very difficult to do that if you come from a really comfortable environment Yeah, you know because you're just not gonna have that certain level of anger Necessary to get the job done and then in a combat sport you as you said you need to shut that anger off at some point And that's got it same with football.
17:40It's a that's a violent game and watching the Super Bowl How many people on the 49ers? I was like this is like fucking war. Yeah, the people were just carried off on stretchers I felt like I was watching mash, you know, I was like. Yeah, it was rough You don't see a lot of rich people's sons going into that line of work Well, Bill Lambeer on the bad boy pistons came from privilege, but then Isaiah Thomas He's their general and he came from the worst fucking part of Chicago. Yeah, but that's kind of an interesting blend, you know Yeah, kind of is I mean I Could see how they could compete in some sports But in combat sports like the people that come from nothing have like an extra gear They just have an extra gear.
18:22What about a guy like Kimbo slice though who's like really from nothing?
18:28Well, also just talented boxer Kimbo slice was a very he had very good hands. Yeah, like if you watch those videos of him out in the the back Parking areas where they would they would fight on like parking lots and backyards and like dodging satellite dishes and shit You ever see those videos? I've seen some of the stuff. He's terrifying He's a good boxer and he was boxing people that were not good boxers, right? They just they just did not know you know, they were tough guys But they weren't at his level and he would just have these bear knuckle backyard fights Yeah, and the nicest fucking guy too.
19:03Yeah, that's the thing about Kimbo Rest in peace. He was the nicest guy like super sweet guy Like very friendly to everybody took pictures there, but he's like not like a thug Yeah, just really tough guy and so tough that he even entered into the ultimate fighter Like he really didn't have a backyard. I mean, he really didn't have a background rather in grappling. It wasn't really a grappler And they kind of need that right? I mean had to yeah, he got beat up by a big country Roy Nelson Just took him down and got on top of him. Just kept punching him ahead He couldn't do anything about it put him in a crucifix and just didn't know how to grapple Which is like so unfair like to just if bear knuckle boxing was around like it is now and Kimbo was around Kimbo would have been one of the best at bear knuckle boxing He would have been that was because that was like really where skill set is with his hands and his toughness Really wasn't a kicker.
19:58He really wasn't a grappler. He had to learn all that stuff that didn't come natural to him I mean, it's really like just being around at the right time if you're just a boxer versus now It's like it being a silent film star and then now they're talking right now. They're kicking. Now they're grappling Now they're doing anything but those fights that he was having weren't like they were just back right back yard fights They weren't organized in a sense of there. There was no like You know athletic commission involved or anything like that. So once he started fighting like He wanted to fight in like the UFC He fought for a while in elite XC And he fought some some good fighters over there and then came over to the UFC and did the ultimate fighter It's just like a very ballsy thing to do.
20:42Yeah, you know To try to learn grappling and you know and fight in front of the world Yeah, it was really it did not have that much grappling and that's such a giant disadvantage amongst like those giant dudes in his division There were guys are so big The guys are just taking each other down and beating this shit out of you What's like that guy who boxed against Jake Paul one of the first guys who is a wrestler the guys are really good wrestler um Ben Asgren. Yeah, yeah, I mean, it's just a different thing. Well, yeah Ben. I think Ben just took a payday Yeah, I think he just gave it gave it a go for the money.
21:19Yeah, you know, let's see He's not he's an amazing wrestler, but he's not really known for being a striker That must be so fucking annoying to be amazing at one thing and then you have to Do another thing that you suck at? It's a some with some guys pick it up really quick. There's some athletes For whatever reason they're just really good at learning new skills like really good at learning how to kick really good at learning how to punch They some wrestlers like a bone nickel picked it up really quick like in a couple of years He looked really good on his feet like dangerous But then there's some that for whatever reason like maybe their style of grappling was more controlled base and less dynamic And not as explosive and like changing from move to move Because some guys just have like a slow pressure wrestling game and those guys just can never get the punches flowing Everything's just all bunched up, you know They're just so used to like grabbing and squeezing things that the idea of being like loose and punching It doesn't make sense to them.
22:22Yeah, it doesn't work with their body. You have to retrain your body Yeah, yeah, it's so weird when I see a guy lunge and I'm like off It's like when you see a baseball player like a reaching and you're like that's not hey is not that I know how to fucking throw a punch, but you know It's a dangerous game to not be good at It's the most dangerous game to not be good at yeah, if you want to learn how to do it You got to really before you start competing you better really know how to do everything at this stage of the game There's just too many people that can shut down one aspect of your game You know if you don't have a ground game they're gonna figure you out and they're gonna take you down They're strung you yeah, and if you don't have a Stand -up game they're gonna keep it in the feet and beat the shit out of you.
23:01They're gonna figure it out You can't have any holes in your game. Yeah, it's gonna be like mighty mouths. Yeah, you can't be one dimensional Yeah, you gotta be able to do everything it's like comedy now you gotta do everything. Yeah, you can't you can't just do stand -up You can't just podcast you can't you know just try to do movies you really have to do other shit You probably should just so you don't want you don't want to be confined to one Thing that you do if you have options. Yeah, it's more fun to do different stuff It's more fun to do extra stuff. It's good to challenge yourself too.
23:29Yeah, it's just fun It just makes it more interesting to do different things. I mean, it's like walking a different road home every day Okay, I've walked this way home. Let's see what this Route does for me. You know, it's it's just better for your brain. I think it's definitely better for your brain I think it's just as a comic like you could just get too locked into just doing stand -up all the time You know that kind of kind of fucker. I'm realizing I do it too much And I'm like in terms of the road and it burns you out you run out of shit to talk about. Yeah, it's been You know, you work so hard to get to a place where you're always working and then you get there and you're like I got to live a life.
24:07Yeah, I have to have shit to talk about otherwise. You start faking it Yeah, you start faking when you're interested in you start pretending you start talking about like things you think they'll be interested in Yeah, you don't know what the fuck is going on the world anymore. You just been doing hotel to hotel club to club Yeah, kind of losing your mind. I ran into Chris Rock on the street once and I told him I was like I finally took like my first vacation Ever and he goes oh man good for you. He's like got to take a vacation. Even LeBron has enough season Wise words very wise words. I mean smart you burn yourself out anyone at When you reach that level of a guy like Chris Rock, they just know what it takes You know, it's like Yeah, you don't burn yourself out.
24:53I mean, he's got different. He's got a different. It's like I'll do a movie in this time to not burn out He's got you know a different a different career, but you know He's got wisdom. Yeah, that's also another Very cool thing that you could still do something creatively that's different than that you can direct something if you want to do I want to do other stuff I stand up so he's number one and I think thank god for stand up because sometimes I try to make I'm trying to make a show now and The amount of fucking emails back and forth the amount of like meetings this that so much work And I'm like, man, this was all I had I'd fucking put a bullet in my head honestly.
25:26I really would because the amount of people They're like, oh they're on vacation. There's a Jewish holiday. I'm like I'm Jewish. I've never heard of that holiday That's not a holiday. I don't know what the hell you're talking about. You know, and then like then we got M .O .K. Day Then then val and you shut down for Valentine's Day. Oh my god. There's always something. That's hilarious So you know, thank god for stand up. It's like it's always there. Yeah
25:52Just like what a what a fucking weird time it is today What a what a weird time it is to tell jokes It just in in in the culture right now. Yeah, it's just such a it's just just strange fucking time You know, it's uh, it's a strange time to be doing stand up. It's always a strange time to be done I mean I think doing the crusades it was weird to be funny. I think it's always a weird time I think it's always a bad time to be you know, but man is it people really need it right now. It's great I love it like I I love that cities will surprise you That's my favorite thing like I never go in like I've gone in judging a city because I've had a bad time there And I'm like, let's give it another shot But I never pre -judge like and then you find like little golden nuggets like it was at the Omaha funny bone a couple weeks ago I fucking love that club There's a lot of great clubs in this country so many great clubs and and The repetition is necessary.
26:49That's the fucking beauty of this still is like I think I've cracked a story And then I'm like, oh that wasn't the ending. You just find it on stage sometimes, you know, so And you tighten things up sometimes you just like take a chunk out and like oh it's just way better this way Yeah, sometimes your ego keeps a chunk in and you're like this is for me And you realize like that's also we're the only type of entertainment where like the crowd is really part of the editing process Scorsese is not you know workshop in this shit in Omaha You know like we're taking our shit all over the country to make sure this works.
27:20Yeah, exactly It's really interesting that way like music is not made that way. No It's really the only art form that's made that way And you know, it's a really interesting that so many people love it But there's no real formal study of it by anybody that knows how to do it But it's getting there kind of I think all the studies are so boring If you read like Simon Critchley, I think it's on humor. You're like, I'm so bored Talk about humor. You're like yeah, dude. It's about tension release. No shit. It's fucking boring when you read when you read people dissecting comedy Like it can get boring.
27:53It's not just about tension release though. Oh, it's so much more Thing going on when someone's killing and I liken it to a massive noses Yeah, like if someone like Joey Diaz is on stage and he's crushing like you're under a spell Right, you're under a spell. You're you're in his mind Arrhythm, too. It's like you're low. Yeah. Yeah.

28:27It really is. Yeah, you know, and then we're just trying to piece it together in the most Like digestible way possible The the way that has the best impact make sure you scour all the corners Make sure you cover all the angles Clear the room. Yeah, it's great, man. It's a great time and The vote is people really fucking like we are in a boom. I mean you started this. It wasn't like this, right? Um, when I started stand up. No, no, nothing like this. No No, this is the craziest comedy boom ever because of YouTube Because of YouTube for podcasts YouTube for comedy specials and then for Netflix. Yeah, it made it a boom too There's like so many people that can travel now It used to be like there wasn't that many people that did theaters You know when I was coming up a theater nobody did theaters.
29:21I saw rich Jenny when he was at his prime when he was on HB I saw him in the comedy club damn He was a funny dude. Oh my god. He was amazing dude. He was amazing underappreciated Super underappreciated. I think his praises all the time I was coming home once from the Irvine improv and my Bluetooth just randomly went to a rich or Jenny bit Just you know like randomly you know sometime I'll go to a song It just went to rich or Jenny because it was on my iTunes thing and uh I went god damn. I forgot how good this was. It was this bait about uh, how he's a fence setter It was just bit about like shitting on all of the liberals and then shitting on all the Republicans and then shitting on himself It's just I'm like god damn.
30:02He was good. And so then I listened I ordered the whole album on iTunes and I listened to the whole thing on the way home It's so cool. I love it. By the way, I love when it's on shuffle and you hear like it goes from like a tom weight song to like nicked Apollo and you like that was fucking that was a big right turn right there. Holy shit I think it's a steaming pile of me. I think that's the one that I downloaded. That's why that fucking he was good man. He was excellent and I think it's important to make fun of both sides and that's I It makes me sad to see people get mad at John Stewart right now for For shitting on both sides.
30:35I think it's he's a comedian first and I think it's cool to When you go to the clubs, they don't know exactly what you're gonna say Yeah, you're gonna have John Stewart back in the daily show and Biden is making up words. He's gonna bring it up He's not he's not gonna just only fucking Simp for the Democrats. He's gonna say some funny shit about anything that happens to Democrats too It's funny. It's part of what the show used to be. It's weird that there's a response there's like a social responsibility People attribute to comedians when it's like most of us got good at this by cursing at strangers in a bar Yeah, I mean we all have our political opinions, which is fine But it's like what John's capable of is delivering the news in a very funny way He's the best at it.
31:20He's the best at that role of being like The guy that's doing the satire of the news, you know, just breaking down everything that's wrong and fuck This episode is brought to you by buffalo trace distillery actually have some buffalo trace cigars here They just sent me one of the world's most award -winning distilleries that's been making whiskey the same way for more than 200 years Made as a tribute to the rugged free spirited pioneers who blaze their own trail to new frontiers It embodies the perfectly untamed spirit of independence It defines what an award -winning bourbon should be aged nearly twice as long as competitors in new charred white oak barrels and bottled at 90 proof Buffalo trace is the perfect bourbon to be enjoyed in any way anywhere And the taste it's damn good.

33:12You're like all right. This isn't as good Stewart like if you actually look at his stand -up like it's like any Form of entertainment to break these rules you have to know the rules and Stewart is a great stand -up Yeah, he's a very funny. He had jokes. I remember like I remember he had a joke back in the day was about like How Jews and black people are similar because you know Jews you know black people we have the blues and Jews We just complain all the time We just never thought to put it to music and I'm like that's that's the type of observation That's like that's like unifying. That's like bringing a room together.
33:43Yes. I love that That's a very funny bit too Yeah, he had he had a great special in the 90s called unleavened. I remember it was on comedy central all the time Yeah, so he's back like on the daily show sometimes is that what it is? Monday Monday I'll give you one day that's a good move for him. Yeah. Yeah, why might do it? I guess that he had a deal with apple and I don't know if they're saying the specifics of Why they canceled the show, but it was something akin to They didn't want him to say anything they would get them in trouble Something along those lines. I don't think what it's quote was maybe about China and they're like hey We make a lot of shit over there.
34:24Yeah, here it is Apple John Stuart says Apple TV canceled his show because they didn't want me to say things that might get me in trouble Okay
34:39Boy kids. What kind of a world are we talking and by the way, that's like That's like what comics that's what gets us excited the idea that this could get me in trouble like that That's everything also apple by the way you Distribute all the apps that you all the trouble And you take it in trouble You take a percentage of their profits you need don't want john Stewart to say something that might get him in trouble Why don't you let him decide for himself what's great about john Stewart too is like there's so many comics who are like and I've no issue with this But speak like recklessly And john is so careful with his words.
35:16Yes, and so skilled at it. Yeah Um, I wanted a place to unload thoughts as we get into this elite election season Stewart said I thought I was going to do it over at they call Apple TV plus It's a television television enclave very small. It's like living in Malibu But they decided they felt that they didn't want me to say things that might get me in trouble Okay, I don't know what that means. Yeah, that could mean a lot of things very coded. I think it's talking about You know, I think China maybe yeah, I think there was a stuff like that something about that. Yeah, Apple did like apple Obviously works with China What was the subject?
35:58It says China maybe it's a I and China Okay, time's reported that the duo had disagreements over topics that were to be covered in the third season including AI and China Wow, they had a disagreement about AI and China With these people what are they doing members of the US House of Representatives later questions Apple CEO Tim cook about whether The tech giants decision to cancel Stewart show is because the host may have been planning an upcoming episode about China Uh, he says while companies have the right to determine what content is appropriate for their streaming service The coercive tactics of a foreign power should not be directly or indirectly influencing those determinations The leaders of the House representative select committee on competition with the Chinese Communist Party wrote in a letter to cook holy shit While Stewart did not mention the rumors about Apple's alleged worry over an episode about China.
36:54He did say the tech giant Did want me to say things that might did not want didn't want me to get say things that might get me in trouble as for his daily show return He said he hopes to provide a catharsis to viewers this election season and a way to comment on things and a way to express them That hopefully people will enjoy Huh That sounds like China said don't fuck it, but that shit on yeah, that's what I got out of it. What did you get out of that? Yeah, exactly It makes like that Seth Rogen movie Yeah, uh, with the North Korea. Yeah, is that one that's still available? Can you get that? I think so Remember when there was like tension or like are we gonna get nuked over a Seth Rogen movie?
37:37I remember watching that Cohen like do you know how dangerous As people Do you know you want North Koreans mad at you for he -he's and ha ha's yeah really yeah, whoof And then they hacked that servers right and not how that happened. They have served with that Sony, right? Yeah, and then a bunch of shit I found out. Yeah, and emails and Was that definitely them was that I was trying to remember I That could just be cyber criminals. I think it was yeah, I don't I don't it might have been a coincidence and It could be cyber criminals to decide to attack based on that. Oh, no, no, no, according to the wiki.
38:13It says uh, can I just dream? Vanibor dream it was the begins of the peace cyber crime group allegedly connected North Korean government Okay, it is connected, huh? Yeah guardians of peace. What a great name. That sounds like a like a government bill It is guardians of peace sounds like a new bill. They would push before the house Man that some of the sent remember when the senate did they did a hearing on it was like During Katrina. I think they did like one day on Katrina and nine days on steroids and baseball Cuz they just wanted it with like cuz you just want to meet Raphael Palmero remember they're like oh we're big fans Oh my god, that's hilarious.
38:51I mean the shit that they get concerned with is so crazy Yeah, but you don't want to go full communist. You don't want to say like the news shouldn't be able to make money You know, they should be able to make money, but the second you combine news and entertainment. Yeah, it's a dangerous It gets real squirrely because entertainment is is not news The news is supposed to be boring Boring is shit. You're supposed to be like why am I what and now we have it in a way where like you watch 12 straight out of the news That's a fucking problem. Well, what's my favorite is the in -between story banter That is the most uncomfortable Herried kind of weird fake talk that exists in all of television It doesn't exist anywhere else on earth right now in mainstream entertainment The banter between the anchor and like the weather lady as they're throwing back and forth to each other then this guy Oh, dude, it is the fakest well that seems like uh, I don't know what to say about that I still do morning news just to ruin the segments.
39:55That's the only reason I go on. I do it all the time You did a good one in Columbus. Do you see that one? Yeah, that's from side. That was that was what you do I I could send it to you. It's pretty funny. I yeah, it's I think I have it here. It's it's uh It's probably in my Instagram or something. It's uh I just kept making up that they to human trafficking problem in Columbus and the guy lost it on me Because I'll only do those new segments if they're live because there's no point in doing a tape one I'll just edit out whatever horrible thing I do But you know sometimes you get someone really cool and you'll just riff with them and be silly But this dude I could tell I'll like I'll feel like a jab to see if it bothers them And if I can sense it bothers them I'll go like a hundred miles an hour and just derail the segment I got I got I remember I have a public I have a publicist Pam who hates me She I just like I don't care about morning radio just book me on morning shows because and she's like they're on to you They know you're gonna ruin the segment, but Pam uh She gets so mad at me, but do you ever go on one and the people are cool and you don't ruin the segment?
40:53Yeah Totally, but they usually end up sometimes they think it's funny But other times yeah, I did one we were on a tour bus last year And I pretended my opener Gary Veter overdosed on cocaine on the bus and they were so mad at me and uh and she called me like your band from Good Morning Durham and I was like I'll live uh but But uh we've done a lot where I just I poke and I see what I can get away with how many people are watching those shows Not a lot, but when I share them they do pretty well because they're it's so weird to watch me Do something bad yeah, I can text it too. I think I have it on my phone somewhere Oh, yeah, no people under 60 are watching that right am I correct probably not I mean sometimes when I'm in a hotel I have it on the background just for like background noise when I'm bored on the road right but like yeah, I don't It's something the new it's it's almost like I want to watch the news, but I don't want to think yeah, which you know If I'm not I'm not going to watch like BBC.
41:56I'm going to watch Pittsburgh today live local men eaten by alligator That was the first one Pittsburgh actually I I pretended I was molested on air and Because she just kept asking the dumbest questions and she goes when did you catch the funny bug? And I said oh my uncle molested me and uh and he was funny and I called it like spider -man And they just stared at me like oh is it Yeah, that's it. No, it's that's Springfield. That's I know them all that's a guy This joke on Instagram less than 24 hours ago talk about what people can expect I mean have you been to Columbus before or is this the first time for you?
42:34No, I've been I've been I love Columbus Great city big fan of Despite all the human trafficking Going on there. I still find a lot of fun a great city nonetheless. You've got your class I could tell it doesn't want it. So this is where I poke this Friday, October 27th Tell us what we won't keep we can expect with that. I'm gonna talk like that epidemic in Columbus, Ohio
43:01Um, are you a big sports fan? What's going on with that? I'll tell you what I'm not a fan of is human trafficking I don't know where you're going, but there are a lot of news reports. Yes. All right. We'll listen Sam and join you There's the best park as he snaps here We'll look forward to seeing you. Thanks Sam. Thank you guys. Thanks for having me. All right. Have a good one I don't get I don't know I think he would you know I know he's kind of edgy and fun I didn't get the human trafficking thing because it really wasn't funny the first time and then he kept doing it two and three and three Yeah, and I tried to ask him you saw her try to ask Is this a joke are you trying to be funny?
43:36What are you trying to do And it just right Well, I was just trying to explain the audience thought you saw the same thing too. Okay. We'll go to break Good morning. Yeah, that was it. Yeah, he really lost it That's the only way they're worth doing to me though is if it's like Insanely uncomfortable and it makes you think like even just the the way You do one of those shows like those people aren't real friends, you know like you trying to make some of them are good Good morning America those two that were fucking they were real friends They were great and they were great at their job. That's why they shouldn't have been fired.
44:09Why would they fired for fucking That well, here's what happened she just fucked him. He was fucking everybody there. So I think they were like wolf. We fire him I mean, yeah, we got it Well, but they were good. I did their show once and I didn't I was just it was just a regular interview because they were fun Well, they should do a podcast together. I think they are there you go. Yeah, yeah, you don't want a boss You're especially in those kind of environments. It's just too restrictive And it makes me think if you like look at that guy like no offense of that guy that you were just talking to but it I couldn't imagine some sort of an audition process that yielded such results.
44:45Yeah, like this is the best you guys have It's a big city Columbia. Tell the news Big city with a lot of human trafficking. It's uh, yeah, she's almost backed you up on that She did yeah, there's a lot of reports and the other reports I don't think it's a funny rumor to make up to be like you have a human trafficking problem And I had no research to back that up But it's it clear if you're a you have Columbus pride if others there are stories There's also you're doing it on zoom which is extra frustrating because like you're not even in the room So they can't even go what the fuck are you doing like you know You're so disconnected.
45:21They have to be very obvious when they're talking to you But I've done it where I was bad and it wasn't live and they just edited it out I'm like god damn it, you know Gotta get the live ones, but it's hard to ask for live because they know you're gonna do something So you see my predicament. I'm like I want live and they're like what's he gonna do? Well, I think the gig is up We'll see I got I got one and I got one coming up. We'll see if they unbook me They're not gonna maybe they'll be prepared and then just let you fuck with it They have done that before and they were you know, I did one pre -recorded from New York one Uh, when I was promoting MSG theater.
45:53I did that one and they uh, they were mad. I didn't do it But it was I was it was pre -recorded and they were like yeah, he just they told my friend. They were like yeah He just behaved. It was really a bummer I was like well get now. I got to be bad because you knew it was pre -recorded Yeah, what's the I was just gonna add a energy. I was like oh, what's the point deflated? Yeah, they're playing dirty Pre -recorded with you is playing dirty. It is I'm playing dirty too though, but you are, but that's the game we play Yeah, it's just fun. Yeah, it's a good used to do DJ dad. Yes TJ Miller was another one who would do crazy shit on there and I was like I love that Segura was the king of it.
46:32Yeah, he came out as non -binary on a morning show
46:39This fucking total deadpan with a gold chain on and sunglasses his energy is perfect for too Oh, he's got that calming energy too. It's just the name DJ dadmouth like what the fuck Oh my god, that's so funny It's so fucking stupid. Yeah It's fun But if you're right you kind of killed a lot of those types of shows with your show because It's like would you rather see them on you know Good morning, whatever for four minutes or on your show for three hours They'd rather see this Yeah, but it's also it's just those that format sucks It's a bad format. I do I still like the idea of a live interview I still think that's really fun.
47:26Live interviews are fun. I you know, but Yeah, I mean this you doing three hours is like You know, it's it would change that I think I was just lazy. I didn't want to edit anything Are used to tell me what you're gonna edit your show. That was his number one complaint telling you listen to me You got to edit your show and I was like why like no one's gonna listen all that then they don't have to listen Yeah, I was like then don't listen just I don't care if you stop halfway in like listen as much as you want well You went against What a lot of people say is about the entertainment will like keep them wanting more you're just like nope.
48:02This is the show You know, it's also this idea that everybody has a short attention span. That's just not true. That's horseshit Yeah, people even people with short attention spans get into things like there might be some subject that someone's talking about that lights your Interest lights your curiosity, and then you get locked into it. Yeah, where you would never spend three hours Ordinarily listening to some guy talk about Egypt some, you know You know Graham Hancock type character talking about The people that constructed these things in turkey and shelly you would never do that right in the normal world, but You could get locked into some a conversation and And if it's a three -hour conversation like you come out of that much more energized with whatever that subject is It's not only is that true, but also I think the fact that people can listen to stuff while they're like cleaning the house and stuff I mean you can't do that with a movie right the thing is that the number one attractor is always going to be like the tick -tock and the Instagram reals those are the ones that suck you in they suck you in they work with the human mind drives me crazy Do you get addicted to it?
49:15They're so effective. I mean the reals are so much for me fucking Roon my day. Oh those are good. It's just some fucking asshole in this car eating like a sandwich I'm just watching to do it eat a sandwich. Yeah, you break it down. You're like this is so sad Sex and I'm watching it is sexy and he rates the sandwich. I'm like good enough for me And then they send me 40 more that everyone's a food critic now. That's fine. Yeah, it's fine I mean people will find their way they find their way. Yeah, but it's just The addictive I'm more mad at myself honestly. I'm more mad that that's my my food your page.
49:47Yeah, I'm more It's it's mostly food. Well, I don't think you have to worry someone slice into Tomahawk steak someone to eat in a sandwich Those are good things. I love them. Yeah, those are good. I find a lot Gary Veter towards me And he just sends me food whenever on the road. He's like we're eating here. I'm like what uh He's more high maintenance than any woman. I've ever dated. He's like you're taking me here. It's five stars. You better fucking pay up bitch That's hilarious That is a nice thing if you go to good cities, right? You could always use nice Every city's got a nice restaurant now.
50:15I mean people you don't fuck around in the Netherlands and between realms If you don't go, you know too far It's weird though. What cities now like Every city has this crazy food culture now Yeah, no matter where you are I think the internet is partly to blame for that too. I think there's so many YouTube Sort of like many documentaries on chefs and many documentaries on restaurants that they're opening and he's there's 9 ,000 episodes of chopped Think about how many chefs there are that's what four episodes four chefs per episode Well, you got to give credit to TV right like the travel channel and stuff like that because those are the first people that like put cooking Out there like an art form Like with Bourdain show.
51:01Yeah, first time I ever considered cooking. I was like oh, it's an art form. You just eat it It's like I thought of it as just cooking. It's like like carpentry or something like that You know what I mean? And I related to it as a comic just a guy like wandering and being like Oh, let me make the most of Kalamazoo Michigan. Yeah, like I instead eat in this vending machine Let me try to find a cool diner or something right right So those are some of the most satisfying places you find like a cool old place been around forever You get like steak and eggs there nothing gets my dick hard like a box card diner dude I get so excited we went found one in Buffalo And we ate the we find a good spot.
51:36We ate those three days in a row. Oh, I'm obsessed with like Just a cool diner. Yeah There was a place called the star diner that I used to eat and and I think it was in Mount Vernon, New York It was so sketchy this neighborhood. It was so sketchy, but they had cheeseburger deluxe's and the cheeseburger deluxe had like coleslaw on it. Yeah, it was ridiculous coleslaw is underrated on a sandwich and your Rubin is an underrated sandwich two thirty in the morning. You're hanging out with men who've just failed miserably And everyone's eating these disgusting cheeseburgers at two o 'clock in the morning There's something such a vibe.
52:17That's like a late night waffle house anytime. Oh, there's something New York vibe to like those kind of diners There's something so there's something about like When you're on the road and you're in a sad place, it's like weirdly romantic to me too Gary and I stayed at a residence in in Omaha and it was just you haul truck after you haul truck of just shit in the parking lot I'm like it's us in 40 divorce men here There's something so sad about this Yep But get out Yeah, I love a late night diner or what's your diner order when you go well It depends on if I'm drunk If I'm drunk, I might go off the rails But most of the time I'm pretty disciplined most of the time I'm just eating like whatever healthy options They have like meat or eggs or something like yeah, you know most of the time Eggs eggs is I mean the obvious move but like a tuna melda diner can be so clutch.
53:10Oh, those are so nice There's such a nice invention. How about a tuna patty melt? Yeah We're like a sous -vlockey. Oh, sous -vloc love a sous -vlockey. Yeah For a year old dude a late -night year old look at you pronouncing it correctly Yeah, I know a lot of Greek people if it's yeah, I don't pronounce it correctly I know how to pronounce it but I just forget if it's done the right way with the the best bread. Oh, I love it Yeah, that like toasted pita. Oh, yeah, bro. Come on with it. Oh If I had choose though like one option for late night if something's open that's legit It would be between Mexican and Italian.
53:50Yeah. Yeah Yeah, if you know if it someone tells you like there's a place that serves in St. Lazonia at two in the morning I think we have to go for me it's pizza all day. It's like late night pizza is just so it's so we I mean especially good pizza Real good New York pizza. You got a good slice just a just a regular cheese and tomato sauce slice When it's just perfectly seasoned and it's melting in your mouth the cheese you're like oh my god This is so good. I watched so much of that guy just randomly Portnoy I'm bar still doing those reviews. Oh, he's the best. I just like I say how much I hate watching these food things But I fucking can't I just like the I like how he likes all the same types.
54:34I like like that flop the The new Haven pizza is my favorite pizza. It's the best pizza in the world apparently. Yeah, according to Portnoy He knows more than I told them I said you should get 10 % of all the profits for pizza I bet if you had like a pizza chart between when Portnoy started doing those reviews to how many people are going and buying pizza now I bet it's not a small number I bet he's impacted the pizza world Significantly. I'm not bullshitting. He makes me want to buy pizza. Yeah, you watch it and you play bites to cross too Yeah, I was like I'm like oh he's having a good time.
55:09We did when I was in Chicago with Mateo Lane He's a Chicago theater one night. I did the next night. So I just got an early we hung out We made pizza at Lou Monotti's deep dish in the they let us in there to just make pizza And then I was like all right now. I don't like Chicago pizza that much. It's like it's it tastes good It's just not my style pizza. It's like it's it's not it's a pie. It's not pizza So I was like all right. We'll see if our toros in the village will let like that's This place is Colin Quinn's stamp of approval Which to me like he's the most New York guy I've ever met so if Colin Quinn likes your pizza your legit And we made the pizza our toros on house and one of the best pizza spots also the vibe There's a fucking piano player just playing in there.
55:50It's like it's so New York, dude Yeah, those places are fantastic. I love them and they make good everything If you could find a good old Italian hole in the wall spot in New York Like that's one of the cool things about like Mulberry Street. Yes You know those places there's some places down there that have been around for Ever yeah, you'll just google it and you'll be like 1909. What the fuck are you kidding me? Do you ever talk to fit Simmons about when he lived there? I'm not about that But yeah, I know Greg. I love that fit Simmons lived right above the social club where John Gotti used to go Holy shit.
56:29Holy shit. How about that John Gotti man that guy? Simmons. Yeah, he used to live Right if I went to his fucking apartment That guy I mean he was the reason sparks his popular. Yes, like that's like like you feel like cool looking and you're like This is what the guy got shot right there It's a good restaurant though, too fit Simmons right there the amount of danger we all like is just to know someone was shot here And you're like well, they're not gonna do it again But one of the odds another guy gets whacked here, right? They don't whack each other that often Um went here was What year did did Gotti get arrested?
57:03He got arrested so many times in the 90s, but it was trying to figure out like when fit Simmons was there Was he there while the social club was in operation? I know the whole family that owned the building was all like going meets the meets like he like had deals We would give the the mother Some money like um, you know my Frankie doesn't have to know about this. This is my gambling money And like she would think that money like that like little deals Like they would pay he would pay like the different the mother than the father separately December 1990 December 1990. Okay, so that kind of that must mean He was already in jail by time fit Simmons lived there because I think Greg and I we came to New York in this around the same time And that was like great might have been there first, too I don't know he was like He was like the media darling.
57:58It's so weird to be a murderer And you're like on the cover of the post like with a pun You know, just like this guy's fun, you know because he kept getting off right how many times did he get off? Yeah, they have a lot of dawn that flond on yeah Yeah, that was weird times what like you know who the mob boss is and he's wearing a nice suit And he's walking around in front of everybody. It's weird It's really weird to be a mob celebrity And then people take like I like if he was around now you'd be like selfie But you know what it's like it's like you're in a race, but your car's not quite strong enough to do that And then the federal government shut the race down.
58:34Yeah, whereas if you're in Mexico You can actually do that You're a mexico and you're a cartel leader you are You're the guy who'd like that's legit no one's putting you in jail, but it's weird to be able to do that New York Yeah, very weird, but it was also a different time right You know, we glamorize that shit that we all like to because mob movies are the best movies I mean like you got godfather good fellows. You got the best shows of all time. Probably my number one God, it's good god damn. It's good. I rewatched an episode the other day. I'm like It's it might be one of the funniest shows ever too.
59:10That's how good it is. It's fucking show There's there's a line in that show. We're like You know meadows being a spoil brat and they're like we're gonna ground you you can't do this And she she just runs away and Carmella's like what are they gonna? What are we doing? We realize that we have no power It's like such an honest funny line. I mean Tony Fuck and Gandalfine we were like robbed of so many more good Gandalfiney projects. Yeah, he was good It's the fucking best. He was so good. He became that guy Like he did a lot of different characters and different movies and he was really good at being a creep It wasn't he in Who was that romance true romance?
59:48Yes, that's right. Holy shit. That movie holds up by the way I just want watch it again recently. It's fucking great Dennis Hopper dude and walking that scene is fucking insane That's some that's some classic Tarantino 90s dialogue right there. That's some good shit True romance. This is one of the more violent scenes I've ever seen in movie I Got this in Las Vegas
1:00:17Yeah, let's not watch it but dude. He's in like get shorty. Yep. He's in so many fucking movies But when he became Tony's a proud. Oh, he like was that guy. Yeah, it's like to have a an actor that good playing a mob boss to the point Where you are sympathetic you're rooting for this murderer. Yeah Yeah, you're rooting for Tony's a brother. They humanize them. I mean when you show him it like a cookout Yeah, I go to cookouts. Yeah, you know, I do. I mean they made him human And he was just Fallen the rules of his game. That's the game that he did and he was the best at it Did you have high high enough horsepower?
1:00:55But again if he was L. Choppo I guess they got him too, but we can in his wife too, right? Who guy who like who took over like that guy doesn't have a name I don't know that's a good move if you're gonna be a car cell guy Tell it every night for the cartel guy. You don't know as you want to be John Doe Yeah, you want everybody shut the fuck up. You don't want anybody you're running a cartel, sir But they would remind you that he was a monster every once in a while like I mean he kills his fucking -owned guy He's a monster who killed the wrong guy Tony kills Yeah, Christopher. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they'd hit you with reminders everyone I mean the show was so fun that they'd have to hit you with like the brutal reminders of You know Philly atardo sotomizing a gay character.
1:01:40It's like they'd have they have to hit you with that because you'd be like Oh, this is funny, and then you hit that you'd be like Jesus Yeah, there was a lot of Jesus moments in that show What's really funny is if you watched the first episode of the show it was almost like satire Yeah, do you ever watch incredible pilot is very funny though. It was like like a comedy Yeah, like the way the car chase thing was she's got the machine gun and like because there's she was outside the way she with the machine gun She I think she thought her kid was sneaking out of the house with that Carmella. Yeah, yeah, yeah something happened And she was outside with an AK -47 and you're like what the fuck are you doing?
1:02:16Yeah, what is this show? Yeah, but she became much more like normal. Yeah, like she wasn't like that like it was almost like they were doing like a network sitcom -y Version of mobsters. They went yeah, it was cool to see the show grow But damn is like the first season even goes. It's like him versus his uncle uncle junior I mean that was a fucking great storyline great storyline. There's so many great storylines I mean, it's just a fucking phenomenal show man. Yeah, phenomenal chase I mean he he created and I think he used to write for like rockford files too. It's like interesting career So even the whole opening montage with the sound the woke up this morning.
1:02:55So yeah, yeah Fuck it was like you got so pumped for every episode. Yeah, it's tough that that was like there's so many great shows It's tough to touch, you know, I mean That was really like a golden age in TV The way like the 60s 70s was a golden age in Hollywood, you know You get like all those fucking old movies of like You know Bonnie and Clyde starting this off the graduate Chinatown godfather taxi driver like all these insane apocalypse now, you know Yeah Comedy movies took the biggest hit recently man We take the big isn't it crazy? Everybody loves them, but now you have to rewatch old ones.
1:03:42So people don't get offended I think it'll come back at some point because I was watching the hangover on TV the other day And I was like people are gonna be hungry for this shit Well, what's Polaris is the daily wire tried to do something, right? Yeah, they did something right they made a movie right They made a movie about transgender athletes and a bunch of men who decide they're gonna compete as women and Then after that There's a new thing that's been happening in Canada where they've got this There's these two teams are playing against each other and there's five biological males That are identifying as females and dominating this volleyball game and the biological females all of them are sitting on deck Why these five men they don't know why they're riding the bench are crushing.
1:04:34Yeah There's five of them. Yeah, like this isn't Canada Like that is so insane You know the thing is about those movies or I didn't I saw the trailer for the daily wire thing I didn't see it But the thing about those movies is and I didn't see this one You got to remember if you're going that irreverent to have the heart of like a fairly brothers movie Cuz like something about Mary is a great movie because like you forget he's stalking this woman because he's so likeable He's stalking Mary he hires a guy to stalk her But in the first scene she's got a mentally challenged brother And he gets his ass kicked present protecting her and you're like he's a good guy So I think Go for the fucking juggler, but make sure that you love the characters Yeah, and also there's not a lot of really good I How many people are really good at making those kind of movies, you know, there's a few people that like Well, Todd Phillips went to serious movies, right, you know, so he was like one of the last ones making like big hits But if you if that genre dries up like that used to be a giant genre like if almost me out Dude, I love comedy moves, but you're right like what do I watch?
1:05:42I watch fucking back to school. I watch like right Yeah, have you seen back to school recently? I haven't dude. It's every line every character There is just there to set up danger field you know, my favorite part is the kinesan scene It's one of the best scenes, dude pull that up pull that up Well, he just fucking right in the center Roddy Dagefield of the classroom. This is fucking of a turn Started for the beginning. You know a lot of people think welcome really seems to care About what I love him so do I remember Whitney is making something about the Andrew field and I was leaving her podcast with her once and she was like Do you want to talk to she knows I love them?
1:06:22So do you want to talk to his wife on the phone? I was like yeah, so we call her and she's like the nicest woman She's just like you know, she's like I loved him so much like imagine getting to wake up to someone that funny every day Like it just made me so happy and and he goes you want to hear Rodney joke that no one's ever heard I was like yeah when he went in for some kind of surgery He was worried he was gonna die. He's like if I if I can't be funny. It's like what's the point? You know he goes in and uh when they wake him up They go Rodney to do call if anything up he goes yeah 500 last week tour Oh Everyone laughs you're like oh, he's okay Right when he wakes up.
1:07:00Yeah Wow, never I mean never not funny so fucking you even see episodes It's funny where he's on like Howard Stern and Stern's trying to like get him to open up and he just keeps doing like one line It's so funny. He's like sir charters ago. Yeah, I don't love childhood. I'll tell you Is it no stop with the jokes. I'm trying to connect with you. It's so he could not be that dude. He was so fucking funny Who was he was all we have his handwritten notes for his last tonight show set in the club. Oh my god If you're in the green room of the club, I can't wait to see the club. Oh, you haven't seen him.
1:07:32I haven't been there yet I tried to I tried to come in December, but I couldn't line it up right now. It's like oh Well, yeah, if you look on the wall in the green room. There's uh his wife gave us these handwritten notes from his tonight show set Wow, so it's breaking down his material and then breaking down stuff to talk about in the couch. Oh my god Dude those old Carson sets where he's just machine gunning jokes. Yeah, holy shit Well, his story is so interesting too because he quit comedy for a long time and he's selling aluminum siding. Yeah And I guess he never stopped writing Yeah, I guess he kept writing even when he wasn't doing comedy and when he came back he had all his material And he said that was a famous line.
1:08:10I was the only one who knew I quit to give an idea how well I was doing right That's the classic. Yeah, but he uh Came back and is that interesting? I mean dude His movies are like Caddyshack's great. Yeah, fucking the one with peshy Easy money. Yeah hilarious. Yeah, you had some bangers even meat while he sparks I know it's like critics shit on the movie. I love it I love the scene where he walks up to a couple on the dance floor and they're making out He's like you two should go get a room and he walks up to a fatter couple. He's like you two should go get a warehouse It's like that's just like killer joke writing right it went that face He's one of those dudes like his face was always funny.
1:08:51I love them. Yeah, he's so good Just pure funny. There's nothing else. It's just I'm gonna be fun and it's like that's another example like You go he make you say whatever he wants because like I'm gonna go help my kid at school like it's fucking these are good stories You know, I mean Sandler Billy Madison's like it's going back to school is a funny premise to put a silly guy Around kids and he's the most immature one. Yeah It's just a great. It's a great premise Yeah, it really is Those movies Sandler's movies don't get enough respect by me. They do. I love Sandler But it drives me nuts when like people shit on those movies because I'm like what do you What are you expecting this to be?
1:09:33Yeah, because This is let's like an classic old -timey comedy movie where it's just funny It's also like kind of his style comedy is like weirdly kind of vulnerable the way how he's that silly Yeah, you fall on your face doing that shit I mean, I did a bunch of road gigs with him. He's he is the nicest fucking dude. He's a nice guy ever I would I would be more stressed playing basketball with him than I would doing the shows with him Because I'm like I just don't want to miss an open jump shot on Sandler's team He plays really good basketball, right? He's good. Yeah, he had hip surgery, but he's still good Jesus, but he had done I was like a year ago, but he can still play and it's mean you got a hip replacement I forgot yeah, I think so yeah But he's yeah, he'll make like the no -look passes.
1:10:17It's fun. It's really he's sick. Oh wow, but It's funny plan and his team you get every fucking call like I'm used to playing with people and they're just like I didn't fucking foul you but it sounds like I must I must to hit you That's hilarious and who are the guys he's playing he's got a guy Joe Vessi who's really good Joe is joking Hope Uh, and then sometimes it's just his circle, but then um But then sometimes you go to the gym and he's just like playing with people at the gym real just random Yeah, that's pretty fucking cool. Yeah, he's the fucking man. It's very good dude. I was zohan was on TV the other day That's a great movie.
1:10:51It's fucking funny dude. I was laughing brushing his teeth with hummus. Uh -huh That's fucking hilarious. There was a lot of funny shit in that movie I watched every Adam Sandler movie with my kids when we were locked down for the pandemic That was our thing. We would just watch the comforting watches. Yeah, they're fun. Yeah, they're wholesome When they were you know nervous about what the fuck is going on the world Yeah, it's fun little entertainment. Yeah, just disconnect from things. It was nice You need those those escape movies because it's like um So much I got like I want to watch the Oscar movies too, but some of them are like all right.
1:11:28We get it It's fucking like 40 minutes in nothing's happened and you're like can something happen? It isn't moot It's supposed to be entertaining. Right. Do you watch any of those like I just watch anatomy of a fall I thought that was really good. I don't know if you saw that. What's that? It's a French movie. It's uh A guy falls eight there in the Alps, I think and that he falls out a window and dies her husband and everyone thinks she killed him And Jesus, but it's one of those ambiguous move where you're like you kind of don't know it's it's really well done I watch American fiction yesterday.
1:11:57I thought that was pretty good American fiction with Jeffrey right, you know that guy no He's a really good actor. He's almost like he's almost like black Paul Giamatti. Oh really? Yeah, he's like a great character actor Yeah, let's do you see the guy was in the what the West West world yeah, yeah, he's really good in West Yeah, there's a good movie. It's funny That guy's been in a bunch of things. Yeah, he's always great Yeah, and then the holdovers with Paul Giamatti was really good if you haven't seen that Westworld was pretty fucking good. I got a watch. I've never seen that was HBO too, right?
1:12:27Yeah, it got a little violent Mrs. Rogan tapped out And uh, so I got kind of left stranded if she's not into watching there So I stopped watching it, but I really did love I think the first two seasons and You know as AI moves into our lives That show doesn't seem it seems less and less weird Less and less possible like everything they're talking about doing on that show. I'm like maybe someday They just not getting crazy maybe someday they're gonna be able to do that. It seems pretty I mean everything from how they explained how they created this environment that seemed like it was another planet Yeah, that seemed like it was really the West But it was really just in this domed environment Just even things like the Oculus are the new apple vision like what is happening bro?
1:13:16They're we're gonna be So fucked in about five to ten years. Yeah, it's gonna be too late to turn back and we're gonna be embedded There's something's gonna happen where you're gonna get an advantage from being connected to a network that you don't get without it That's almost like impossible to live without like give it to me like Twitter like cell phones. Yeah, but everything They can get by without there's I know some people that have deleted Twitter They've just said I don't want to do this anymore. I know some people that have like kicked it Do you but they don't kick cell phones? You can't kick cell phones.
1:13:48That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah So if it becomes like at that stage But if you're addicted your cell phone has Twitter I mean unless you want to be one of those people who has you know like a fucking 1999 razor, you know, we can get that what is that simple phone? I know a lot of people get that it's like You can't do anything on it. It'll store music I think all it does is like text message and make calls. No, I don't even know if you can do email on it But that people need email I know Carry a second device just for email like what if you're involved in some sort of business decision need to be on the fly Able to respond to an email you unplugged for like a few hours and you're like what did I miss it?
1:14:30Oh light phone is that it? I don't know if this is the only one, but this is like saying right here Get rid of clickbait social media minimal. Yeah, I think this is it. Yep. That's it. It's an experience. We all call going light No email No internet browser, but it's probably better for you It definitely. I mean people who just I already will do that. He will disk and like he'll get back to me and be like sorry I was in fucking Thailand. Yeah, I was in Thailand Yeah, yeah, he'll do it, but he's got an iPhone too. He should shut the fuck up. Yeah, he could put it gives it You got to give it it's too good Also, you miss out on things like if Thompson Girl and I almost every day send each other the most horrific accidents disasters Boulders crashing fucking cars that are on mountain roads like everything fucked up We send back and forth to each other and if I didn't have the ability to click on the link I'm missing a little bit of joy in my day and a little connection to your friend Yeah, yeah, you can action to your friends So that's what the joy the joy is not in watching people get gourd by bowls The joy is in that me and my friend have this unspoken agreement to send each other the worst shit we could find every day and and find jokes in that And that's like you know when people say like dark jokes and stuff is like no you make that's a light joke You took a dark subject and you're finding light jokes about it.
1:15:52Yeah. Yeah, you're lightening up the situation slightly But that's the problem is like you're right You're disconnected on these phones. Yeah, but then you're also connected So it's like now you're it's kind of a catch 22 Whichever way you do it you're a little fucked Yeah, you're fucked you're gonna miss out on things if you're disconnected and if you're too connected you're gonna be addicted and fucking losing all your life energy and time and attention to nonsense Which is what a lot of people are doing all day long You were just scrolling through nonsense. You just get nonsense in front of your face It's just there's nothing nourishing about it.
1:16:31Nothing is like exciting your mind. It's just dumb thing after dumb thing after dumb thing after dumb thing after dumb thing and The thing that doesn't do that is podcasts, which is interesting Yeah, I can't listen like don't for that or books on tape books on tape are great. It's a great thing to do I do I think about how much we're on the move. It's great for flights great for like in your car We might get nauseous if you read yeah, but I think about how invasive it's gonna be because there's wheelchairs now They can be driven by neurological impulses. So it's like okay That's your fucking thoughts It's can read your thoughts.
1:17:07Yeah, like how far we I have a lot of bad thoughts Joe Yeah, I bet you do You're on those morning shows Imagine if you get arrested for your thoughts Like because I think some things that I would never do you got it you got to erase your browser mind thoughts too Your history could you imagine if you could if you had an impulse to just smash someone in the face But you were resisting it you weren't gonna do it. Are you a good person if you're resisting it constantly Uh It depends on who you're talking to yeah, if you're the asshole all the time you're constantly getting in fights with people it might be you Like you know, we all know that person who's like this fucking asshole like everyone's an asshole in your stories But there's also times since some people need to be smacked and there's those in those moments Like imagine if you could get arrested because you you tested positive for a Potential aggressive episode If you're covert testing a two lines you're keeping your shit together, but you're imagining you're imagining just Teeing off on this guy just smashing.
1:18:11He could be a danger. Yeah, like hey man. Yeah, stop doing it And but if you have that thought I'm about to smash that guy A light goes off the cops come in and they arrest you and they arrest you because you had a potentially violent episode you Red line your your red flag Sam this is a serious thing you went to red line, but I didn't do anything, but you might have yeah or they'll tell you You were going to we know we have predictive technology Predictors for us. Well like oh, yeah, that movie minority repairs. Yes. They look that seems so impossible predicting Now it's now it's like the world economic forum guy was saying that they won't have to have elections in the future Wow, that we will be able to predict with such precision.
1:18:57That's we don't need an action Did you see this story? British man acquitted over London spain flight bomb hoax He texted and snapchat to his friends. I'm on the way to blow up the plane. I'm a member of the Taliban Then oh my god the Spanish As a joke as a joke he said to joke to his friends. It's a good bit Spanish f18s were scrambled to look how close the f18 is that other jet's wing That's insane He was just acquitted though because the judge was like there's obviously no threat here, but what was curious is how the uh Message was found because snapchat supposed to be encrypted and Some people think it's because of the Wi -Fi network at the airport and the airport says that's not how it was And then the UK authorities said where was it right here?
1:19:49So is this evidence of some new technology? That that mean as you guys were saying this stuff. That's why I brought it up Do you think that's what they're what are you interpreting this house? They said that they have service for unknown reasons It was captured by the security mechanisms of England when the plane was flying over French air Yo, wow Yo, that's crazy The message was made in a strictly private environment between the accused and his friends with whom which whom he flew Um through a private group to which only they have access so the accused could not even remotely assume That the joke he played on his friends could be intercepted or detected by british services Nor by third parties other than his friends who received the message See that's crazy because like sometimes you'll say wild shit to your friends in a text message.
1:20:37Yeah For fun, you know And you're assuming if I send you an i -message you're assuming that that's encrypted Yeah, I'm gonna stop telling my friends. I'm gonna murder my girlfriend You have to use signal. You have to use signal for that today's the day. I'll say that But I bet if you'd have used signal. I bet they're looking through signal too. I bet there's I bet there is a scanning That's being done on all cell phone Communication Looking for key target words that they think would be problematic. Well think about how much of our freedom We're constantly giving away. Yeah, I don't when I fly.
1:21:12I don't want to wait in the long line So I give them you know my iris my fingerprint all that stuff now those lines are longer than the other lines Right, so I'm like oh, yeah, if I go to LaGuardia it fucking pre -check and clear are the longest lines now No, yeah, so so sometimes you just fuck it and you go through yeah, I take my shoes off again I'm going backward, but then there's gonna probably be a new line you got to give more You dip your balls in the fucking thing you gotta give the outline of your penis I get the I'm I gave you my penis you gotta let me cut well You have to have the update and the chip do you have your update?
1:21:42You can five you have your update Did you update your brain? Did you have your flash at penis? We need a hard penis if you have the brain chip Will let you pass through you don't ever have to worry about Identification ever again. I thought of a new wrinkle for that I can let you update right there at the airport with some janky terminal That's probably hacked or you could do it at home like everybody else would probably be doing it You update you update from a safe place update from a safe or you could do it here like it's like a subway terminal Yeah, yeah It'll get to the point where you'll just have an account in your head and you won't have to pay for anything with a credit card ever again That'll all be in account in your head But only through central bank digital currency if you subscribe to central bank digital currency We can iron out all the inequality and all the problems of society today They'll get us they get us they're gonna get us with a chip in our head.
1:22:36It's gonna be awesome That's the problem they getting you gonna put that chip and you go. God. Why was I resisting this? I was so stupid just 20 minutes ago. Yeah, I get it I mean if you if you imagine like you can only imagine being as is intelligent as you are on your best or worst days But could you imagine being like A caveman like like a australia pithicus like the early days You know just barbaric life covered in hair and then somebody Gives you something just a little shot or something and all sudden you can think like you You'd be like whoa. I didn't realize how fucking dumb I was I think we're gonna plug in and it's gonna be so Whoa.
1:23:23Oh my god. This is so much better. This is so much better. This is so much better than regular brains Just get except the fact that we have access to information constantly. You're seeing it all in your head That's just aadural right now. I think Well, it's probably gonna be better than aadural. Yeah It's probably gonna be better if you if you could have something that stimulates various parts of your brain to produce certain neurochemicals If that's possible They're gonna be able to do something where you're you can people that are paralyzed can use um cursors They can like and like use their brain to figure out how to navigate computers Yeah, wow.
1:24:01Yeah, that's pretty but again, that's it's intrusive, right? I mean it's it's your thoughts Right, but if it's if you if you're a paralyzed person, it's really good thing Yeah, like it's way better to be able to do that than not that's true But Once we start doing it too Yeah, Sam, I know you're not paralyzed, but let me tell you the benefits of linking up And you just start talking to your girlfriend It's gonna be like Jehovah's Witnesses. They're gonna be begging up I mean my my cousin linked up. He's never felt better. You know, it's he's signed a one -year lease You link up for one year you can't disconnect or they kill you It'll be like it'll be like ozampic you give the linked up people like a year to see how they do And then you're like I might link up.
1:24:43No, it'll be like military service Like you have to if you're gonna link up you have to link up you have to commit to one year because you're contributing to the grid Yeah, you contributing to the grid of ideas if you link up So you have to keep it on for one year and most people don't take it up And if you do take it off the parts waste screw it and get infected Yeah, you're gonna have to get a re -up you look weird You're like one of those weird people that just disconnected We're so close to something like that this apple thing that everybody's doing the fucking Yeah watching television on a giant movie screen in your house with these goggles on it's supposed to be incredible Well, the thing is think about how much of your personal freedom like we all knew these people They were like I'm not getting a fucking smart phone I don't want I want to be off the grid and you're like and then as you said they all have the phone now exactly They all give in everybody gave in yeah, and by the way off the grid a lot of them were comics I'm like you're announcing tour dates already.
1:25:34Yeah, when you talk you're on the grid dude. I bought three chickens Yeah, the off the grid off the grid. That's called you're a farmer. Yeah, that's a hard job Yeah, more than a farmer's are probably on the grid somewhere. Yeah, you can't just tour if you're a farmer man Yeah Fucking animals are gonna die you're gonna have to have employees and you have to have some Even the farmers are like, you know, they're on something they're on Facebook. Yeah, they're doing something they're doing something They're barely paying attention. Yeah If you really want to be completely self -sufficient like wow The only reason we can do all the things that we do is because so many other people provide you with the stuff that would take up all your time Which is gathering food Eating it.
1:26:21Yeah, yeah, that's like most of what you would be doing try to find food Yeah, hunting is a sport for people. It's not like a thing. They most people do exactly You mean there's a lot of people do it by choice, but they definitely don't need to yeah most places you can get meat You can't get that kind of meat. It's not as easy to get that kind of meat But there's you know plenty of other options. Yeah, you're not gonna starve the thing is like in the real world of That not existing the food system not existing You're not gonna figure out anything. You're not gonna make a car You're not gonna just to get that out of your head.
1:26:56You're not building a sailboat Like all you're doing is gathering food and you're barely adequate Yeah, you're gonna do it all day long And you're barely gonna figure it out and you might start eating rodents so you don't want to eat. Oh, yeah Yeah, yeah, no, I mean this is They don't realize it's a full -time job and most people have like three jobs by the way now yep teachers are You know slowly getting on only fans, you know Everyone's doing their thing to make another I make handbags on my side whatever you're doing, you know Everyone's got like four fucking jobs now. Yeah, the only fans ones a wild one.
1:27:30Whoa That's a wild thing because I was a 21 -year -old girl and just graduated college and I was kind of hot You know stuff. I didn't want to be a waitress if you look at your fucking salary as a teacher versus you like Oh, I just made my whole life. Yeah, this year I Mean I'm not the one to judge do whatever you do that makes you happy, but it's just It's a weird one But if you're contributing to only fans make sure you have the money and you have a good I have a friend who fucking pays for only fans and he has never seen the sopranos If I was a gal, I would be worried about like dudes becoming obsessed with you from something like that But you get that as a comic, don't you?
1:28:12Yeah, but it's a little bit different. It's a sexual thing true You know, and you're more vulnerable. It's definitely different. I mean, it's like But if you're a female comic, I think they become obsessed with you too Yeah, that could happen for sure. Oh definitely, right? Yeah, I mean Whitney's had a gang of problems Yeah, I that makes sense an actress whatever. I mean musician Taylor Swift's probably got a shitload of stalking I mean so much. I mean, you know, she probably has people that think they're married to her. Yeah, you know, just real nuts Yeah What's that? No, did you think he was married to her?
1:28:47Those stalkers always think they always think that all of your posts are for them Yeah, they're like well, I see what you're doing. They're schizophrenic. Yeah And they they um believe they have some sort of a connection with you You know a lot of them say that they have a chip in their head It's it's a very common thing they say I've got a chip in my head Elon Musk talks to me like that kind of shit for real It's like that's a thing that gets a frenix start believing I just read that Elon Musk book. I thought it was pretty interesting the Walter Isaacson No, it didn't it's good. Is it an autobiography?
1:29:21Uh, no, it's Walter Isaacson wrote it about uh About Elon Musk. Oh, it's a biographer. Yeah. Yeah, but he did like jobs in Einstein He did those book. He's a fucking awesome writer, but uh Yeah, I mean, I you know, I don't know so I was like I was an interesting window into like who he is and like how How what made him that way? I'm always curious to like the origin story of like bullied kid and in Africa like interesting interesting life Yeah, he's not a normal guy you can't be is a very very unusual person and when you talk to him You can tell like in the back of his brain his his mind It's just firing.
1:29:57It's his going all like I asked him like I'm like what does it like to be you? Like what does it like to have all these like you wouldn't want to be me Yeah, he's not he doesn't seem happy He didn't even know that it wasn't normal until he was like an older kid and he's like oh everybody's not like this Well, you just got ideas just fucking bouncing around your head like laser beams just constantly go I mean the guy's running three different companies simultaneous or four different companies Yeah, I think at a time he was doing like five or six, too. It's something crazy. It's saying it's saying It's like buys Twitter.
1:30:30Yeah posts on it all the time. I mean Dogs on people post memes, you know gets people mad at them And then is also running SpaceX and is also running Tesla and is also running the boring company like what the fuck man? He uh, it's having similar characteristics of like a degenerate gambler to be that successful in business like that Because you have to be willing to go all in all the time Well, he's one of the very few people that's like the head of a business like that. That's also like you know He's an extraordinary Human in terms of like the way his mind functions So it's not a normal person.
1:31:11No way. No, you don't get to that level Just know those other guys that run a lot of the companies are run by CEOs You know, you remember when that guy was running Microsoft the the bomber guy that would jump around and scream It's one of my little time. Yeah favorite videos because it's so insane. Yeah, it's all Microsoft employees and Steve bomber gets out there And he goes nuts. I mean nuts like to the point of almost having a fucking heart attack Oh, they're all dancing now he owns the clippers This is a different one. This is when they were all just dancing together, which is also hilarious Who told them that this was okay If I was their friends, I would have said guys guys guys don't do this Don't don't like can you stop using our music?
1:31:59You're making a look any sense. You're on a stage You're well lit and you're dancing publicly. You're gonna be so awkward. Let's not do a lot of these guys are They were pariahs their entire childhood. So this is like their chance. This is their first set put this back in the beginning put it back in the weekend Look at them Yeah
1:32:21Look at it

That's the kind of guy I want running my company That seems like a great owner for the clip balls in He's But that's like part of his act you know his act is that he would go nuts You know, it was fun So if you're going to have to do those kind of things we go out in front of all the fucking employees and dance around He's fine. He's having fun. Why not go nutty. Yeah, why not go nutty then people will talk about it forever Yeah, can I do a drink by any chance? Yes, now it's the time.
1:33:46Yeah, that's the time. What now's the time Sam whatever you got All right, whatever you got that's what I want in here Um, yeah, I mean, that's the kind of guy you want running your dominating software company that's constantly getting shut down for anti -competitive practices It's so weird though. I don't know what they did get sued a bunch of times right didn't they get What happened with Microsoft like there was a bunch of there's a gang of lawsuits when Jamie comes back Try to figure it out. There's it's a different leadership style than like a musk or a or a Steve Jobs A guy who's like those do Steve Jobs do with that But it's like those dudes are much more like Fuck you deliver like you know driving you insane.
1:34:27Right. This dude seems like a more friendly. Yeah Boss he's having a good time, but he's definitely screaming, but it looked like he was smiling But like jobs and musk I feel like they will put you to your breaking point doing shit You didn't think you could accomplish and you either break or you do something insane. Yeah, I've heard that about both of them But I guess what just grab anyone that one's good Jamie the one you're right hand. They're both good or the buffalo trace good too Yeah, whatever you go. Let's go Um Yeah, that's like I don't want to do that. I don't want to work on that You would work like that.
1:34:57That's great. You know, maybe we should get a different job This is just I'm not gonna sleep in the office. It's too much. I got kids. I got to go. Bye. Thank you. Thanks for the job You know, it should be you should be able to actually have a job in Cheers my brother I don't run a business though. I mean, I kind of do but you have employees you want a business? I do, but not that way It's not the same kind of thing. Well, I mean think of the scenes in Wolf Wall Street the way where he's like Yeah, like I don't go it anywhere. Yeah, good scene. What a great scene the cap real isn't an animal That's a I was on TV the other.
1:35:33That's a great fucking movie. Oh my god. It's a great movie. That's a fun movie He's like yeah, he's like it's rare for like actors to have mystique. He still kind of has some mystique Oh, he's an animal. He's so good man. He's so good He in so many movies too, man. It's so many different types of characters It's so few those guys that are just like the last of the real mother fucker movie stars Yeah, you know capriose a mother fucker of a movie star. He is like when he's screaming at you and his face is red you like dude Yeah, he's good You watch the killers of the flower moon. I didn't love it.
1:36:08I didn't love it I love the book. I think the book is incredible my issue with the movie is like they focus on the wrong characters The guy he's playing earn his burr card is a boring fucking idiot Like he should have been playing the or give Jesse Plemons as the PI a bigger role Uh, I didn't see it so I can't comment. What's the best book? What was the premise of the book? I started the book quite a while ago And I never got into it. Oh get back to it. It's you'll love it. It's it's one of the best because it's like true crime in history And one it's kind of incredible. I um this would happen, dude I got really bummed out because I got I kind of overdosed on Native American history Yeah, it was a bummer, you know, and it was it was so first of all it's an amazing history and it's fascinating And I'm really connected to it being here because like we find arrowheads like my friend of mine gave me this And then another friend of mine just gave me um four arrowheads from this ranch from uvalde, Texas shout out to them Yeah, and these are over a thousand years old these arrowheads That's crazy.
1:37:12Yeah, the like this this whole land is all this is all Comanche land. It is really is yeah, but this These stories are so depressing They're so heart -wrenching when you realize that They've been living that way for who knows how many thousands of years and then over the period a short amount of time Like a couple hundred years 90 % of them are gone. Yeah, just drop in dead just drop a dead from diseases Yeah, and then everybody else is eventually heard it off into camps and they're put on these reservations and and the When you hear the story so what they did to the kids in the schools Yeah, you know, and you when you you hear the stories of the battles and these people just getting wiped out You're like holy shit Could you imagine living in a place and you've been living off the land in these These houses that you make out of animal skins and you travel with your family You've always traveled like this and then all the sudden these mother fuckers start coming from another country And they don't stop coming like your land got infected.
1:38:26It got invaded They they landed on the east and just started going across the country And you just watch your whole life go away. Yeah, watch them shoot all the buffalo You watch them shoot all the buffalo. That was like a hundred years from buffalo everywhere to no buffalo Yeah, now she's buffalo wild ones. There's nothing But they saved him and the Ken Burns documentaries amazing. It was a new Ken Burns documentary Yes, right now about the American Buffalo Yeah, it's uh, he's great. He's amazing. That's a really good documentary series I just think like that move. I love Scorsese and everyone involved that just like it should have been Also if you make a three and a half hour movie, dude You got to leave with with not being like what else?
1:39:11I can't comment like I said it didn't see I love everyone involved honestly, but it was just like for me like That's a that's a book that they should have I think he got criticized for saying something like I was telling it from the White man's perspective and you're like well, you're a white guy like that is your perspective probably right yeah There's nothing wrong with that but um I just think he chose the wrong white guy like the PI that guy's real life. I forgot his name you could probably find it, but uh I mean holy shit this guy like he was like the CIA uh Fucking J Edgar Fuck FPI rather J Edgar who yeah treated him like shit because he wasn't like he wanted the you know the vibe to be college boys like you know Harvard educated and he wasn't that so he always was like Didn't show many respect Yeah, this is the guy played um tom white very interesting guy um Scroll that scroll higher.
1:40:05What is it? What is it? What does the article say the full this is just like factor fiction about the movie Yeah, oh the guy Leo played is just like a dumb fuck who kind of went along It just it was a character. I didn't think had a lot of depth It's like just spending three and a half hours with a guy who's like going along with murder and was it's kind of dumb That's a weird thing. They do when they take uh, what is an actual piece of history and have someone play like when Uh, so fear of events. So fear of a gara is playing gazelda grizel de blanco. Yeah, which is insanity. Yeah, fucking insanity like what?
1:40:40She's like one of the hottest human beings. It's ever lived got to sell tickets And she's playing. Yeah, she's playing this lady. There was a psychopath that a murderer Yeah, they just do things like that in movies. They just they they'll they'll monkey with the past if they think it's better this way Or they aug up a hot guy instead of just getting a fucking weird looking actor. Yep. The aug up a hot guy or Charlie Pretend the guy was hot. She won an award for being ugly in monster. Yeah, but she'd actually pulled it all. She's great But it's a fun eyebrows, but they could have gotten an uglier actress It's a good point.
1:41:13There's a there's a solid point. It's hot privilege. Solid point. It's a really solid point But she also had a famous actress privilege for sure and that's that's right. That's as as I said you want to sell tickets famous actress Privilege trumps everything because they sell tickets for sure. Yeah So if she decides to get fat for the movie give her a shot at it. Come on You're gonna say she can't do it but Robert De Niro can do it Yeah, she was so good in that movie too. Yeah, and she went back to hot again She's hot, which is crazy because how many Women out there look like Shalere's Theron did in monster who could actually with the right diet plan pull it together Well, it's weird looking like her some people start like I don't know a Christian bail just like is that that can't be healthy What he does to his body all the time?
1:41:58Well, what he did in that movie the machinist is dangerous. It's dangerous Yeah McConaughey did the same thing in But his face looks fucking skinny so lighter or less weight. I should say in The fighter which is after or no, this says the fighters good. Yeah, he got more skinny than in that when he played It's Mickey Ward's brother. I should say now that it wasn't a Dickie bets. He was a meme that showed their weights. Well, oh 66 kilograms, and that was 55 kilograms This can't be this can't be healthy. No, no, no, it's real bad. It's real bad. It's real dangerous Super super dangerous, but the nero got shredded and you know raging bull and yeah, that's shredded is okay But that he's starving to death there.
1:42:42That's why he's so thin like when he did the no no no no So it's very very very very very dangerous dangerous for your heart. It's dangerous for your organs It's dangerous for your kidneys. It's dangerous for everything. It's very very very very dangerous Yeah, and so unnecessary for a movie that was mid The movie was just not that good that you know that movie wasn't I didn't say it wasn't that's not gonna say whoo That's a sick one AI, but you know, I'm saying if you get skinny for that because she left you in that box with nothing But water and they come back and they're like you know, remember if like when the end of the movie when he gets Spoiler when he gets stuck in there and she just walks away killer bro.
1:43:19How far away we're from that Yeah, she was pretty hot robot. Oh, she was so hot. Well, I do you think you ever fuck a robot 100 % yeah me too. It was her She was talking to me like that Give her a go. I'd see what it is You know, especially if I'm some scientist dork on an island somewhere And there's a hot robot that I'm supposed to interact with and she knows how to press my buttons I'm working on a bit on stage, which is like you you we're gonna fuck robots But I think it's gonna be like a cell phone like everyone's gonna need a robot But like if you're poor, you're gonna have like a lower level model like maybe while you're fucking it you get ads You know, it's gonna be like yeah, liberty liberty.
1:43:55It's gonna be like robot women real women That's gonna. It's gonna be like that's what it's gonna be loud. That's what's gonna happen. Holy shit robot women are real women That's what it's gonna be like and these fucking Sociopaths with batteries in them I mean, it just started running shit. Yeah, they have no fear. She's a hot robot. She's so hot, dude And once they put the skin on her and you know, she looks normal Movies so good. Yeah, it was good one of my all -time favorites I've watched that so many times on planes what I'm like going through my laptop I'm like what do I got on here? It's I like a good psychological thriller with three characters So it's like it's almost more like a play.
1:44:33It's like all dialogue heavy and just fucking like that could have been a play Yeah, and it's so fast and he watched this kid trying to work all this out You know like workout that he got this opportunity workout that he's there. He was so who's the actor? Tom Hall -Golison, isn't that him perfectly awkward every you know everything about him his origin story Everything perfectly vulnerable You know and when when he gets stuck at the end of the movie like oh my god That's real Because you'd kind of know it's coming, but you can't you also kind of want to believe a little bit Yes, cuz a baby deer is cute.
1:45:11Doesn't mean the mountain won't get
1:45:16That's the problem you got fucking we think he's a good guy. He's a good guy He's doing the right thing and then yeah Do you like oh my god? You're gonna die in there. Yeah, you're gonna die in there a 24 makes a lot of cool shit. Yeah Just banging on it and knowing you ain't putting a fucking dent in it You are going nowhere forever It's I like when she just shoves the knife in him. I love unhollywood endings dude I love when when they Don't give the pee and a lot of those movies bomb because people want a happy ending Like I think one of Woody Allen's best movies ever is purple rose a Cairo and it's a fucking downer of an ending And I think that's probably why it's one of his biggest bombs You know, it's gonna be like you can have a robot and you can have a robot for a wife But that robot for a wife if she catches you doing anything If you do anything that's illegal.
1:46:14Yeah, you get a like a red light code and she detains you Cuz he wrote about wife is stronger than you and you could fuck this like really hot robot Wife and she looks like just a really hot woman. We're all gonna be sub super sexy But what she really is is a murderous robot capable pulling your fucking head right off your body How far away from oh we from robot wars then like well of American robots versus That's true. Well, what is a missile? That's a good guy did missile. It's kind of a robot He has those like supersonic good gun veterans are fucking not as cool as actual on the ground war veterans No, they're definitely not, but you know that they suffer from a very specific type of PTSD.
1:46:54They probably should they're killing people Yeah, yeah, and imagine watching that on a screen But your scars are not from being on the battlefield. They're from tripping over like a fucking router You know, it's the different type of PTSD. It's definitely a different type of PTSD But apparently they're haunted. Yeah, they're haunted like they I'm sure it's it you're you're playing God You're killing people and you're doing a you're doing it a weird way where you're watching a screen So you're kind of like it's familiar. It's like a video game Yeah, and you got to imagine if you see those kids that are like really good at world of warcraft and all that shit Just thinking call it duty.
1:47:29Yeah, yeah, Quake any of those games are required fast twitch If you give them a responsive enough interface and some sort of insane weapon They could do fucking damn it. Yeah, you're like a really good video game player. Isn't that funny? That's you gonna use weapons next war 100 % not your strongest But your quickest fingers think about it man. I mean if you're watching like a really there's some games that are like I don't know how to play Starcraft But I guess it's more like strategy and moving things around. It's not fast twitch But it lives a lot of these games like the third person shooter or first person shooters.
1:48:03Yeah, halo Unreels another one Quake where you're you're moving fast. You're gunning things down You know, it's like if you can get a person who is elite at that where they just wipe out There's certain guys that will they'll they'll have these death matches and these certain guys that will literally wipe out 60 % of the other team Yeah, they're just so good at fucking people up. They're so good at it. If you could get that guy To somehow another pilot a drone and if it's that responsive that it allows him to instantaneously move the thing and it's shooting real guns Yeah, he'll fucking kill everybody He'll fucking kill everybody.
1:48:40It'll be insane instead of like an insell now. You're like a war hero right think about those Quake characters Jamie pull up like Quake arena. What's the what's the newest one? What is the newest one the one that we all got addicted to again? Quake champions if you're if you're actually doing this in the real world now Imagine you're attached to some sort of a machine You're using all of these like remote controls that you would use on an Xbox. You're totally familiar with it So it's to totally tune to your knee on the other end of it There's a fucking robot with chain guns running into a like a military complex and gunning people down And you're controlling this thing while it's getting dinged up.
1:49:27You're in another place This thing can fly it shoots through the air and you just Try it on people in Yemen Just try it and you have this fucking guy a guy can do this like watch this game Imagine if you can move a thing that moves like this and that's this kind of weaponry We can switch it back and forth between different weapons. I mean, this is making it dizzy. How good this guy is look I'll get this guy is just fuck that dude up. Yeah, you dead bitch up. You're dead bitch too You're dead this would actually be like this would be a waste of time. This would be training because I think about I think about all the time about how like All like this is different.
1:50:03It's like lasers and shit But I think like some of the war games are just like GTA like They're fun as hell, but like what do you do when you play GTA? I friends are just going on They're just in murdering random people on the sidewalk I'm like at a certain point this is not great for your brain Do you know what I mean? It's not great for your brain, but it's no different than golf It's a thing that people get really good at and super hyper competitive at it's a it's just it's no different than any of them Golf and porn because Because you watch porn for two minutes. You're like I don't feel great about myself Yeah, but it's not real, but like if you're simulating something in your head real, but it's that our head There is that for sure But if something like that is really valuable like if you're making a lot of money doing that Which some what is like the most money streamers?
1:50:49Yeah, some of them are like they make a lot of money, right? Like millions right So who could argue against that like Billy you need to get Your law degree so that you can be a partner and if you fucking work weekends and 17 hour days and make a small fraction Of what you would do with a blue wig on and fucking the Terminator sunglasses Screaming at people Because you you're kind of like well, this is not a real job in my mind But if you're in the top one percent. Yeah, you could do pretty fucking well Man's worst enemy killer killer robot dogs that are controlled by soldiers mines are trialed by australian army See what I'm saying.
1:51:34Yeah, I'm telling you this is that quake thing We're not far away from that. Yeah, it's all I've looked at that thing But if you can make millions of dollars playing quake Why wouldn't you just play quake exactly? It's like we think of it's bad because it used to be bad And we got to get over that idea. I think it goes for only fans. It's your fucking body, right? Well, listen, I'm all I'm a I'm a fan of people doing whatever the fuck they want And I think there's a lot of pressure from people shaming people and people getting upset at other people's choices like worry about yourself Be way better off you should worry about yourself, you know a lot of times it is your own issues with that right like for me like You know I think I think I don't think everyone should go to therapy But I think some people could benefit from talking out loud and looking at themselves, you know What do you mean by that?
1:52:24I think people who are judging other people's lives, okay What do you mean? What do I mean by that? Oh, I thought you don't just fucking around. Oh no Yeah, no for sure It's just I just think sometimes if you're really mad about something that doesn't affect you in any way That's probably your shit. It's 100 % your shit because you're wasting time. Yeah, don't worry about that There's types of really religious people who are in the charity and and love and yep and not judging people and there's people who really Religious who are like you're going to hell yep. Yep. Just like there's good cops and bad cops.
1:52:54Yeah It's really the same thing. It's just human beings at all levels There's just such a variety of people and we'd lump them on the same thing That's why I get so offensive when someone you know Just wants to like single out one specific swath of people that's responsible for everything like no We're still individuals man. Yeah, we still have to be individuals this idea that we everybody has to Pretend that they're on a special team that's an opposed to the opposite gender or the opposite sexual orientation like shut the fuck up. That's so fake and it doesn't really affect you and you know where you know It's fake where the comedy world what do you mean because in the comedy world no one gives a fuck what you do You just have to be funny.
1:53:39Well, if you care about comedy funny is your language. It's all that we met What's all that we care about like I love Tim Dylan's death. Yeah, you know I the fact that he's a gay man. I don't believe first of all. I don't believe it I think it's a scam. I've never seen him have sex with guys. I never heard a gay guy with that voice Yes, he he's one of the funniest human beings. It's all of them. That's what's important No one gives a shit if he's gay like no one gives a fuck no one gives a fuck of your trans if you're funny No one gives a fuck of your Asian if your Bobby Lee no one cares Yeah, all they care is are you cool to be around are you funny?
1:54:12First I was cool. The Asian is a bitch too far No, he's I'm with you like we don't care comedy is a weirdly accepting place That's why it's funny that we get considered like, you know, they're like this is a dudes club like no We want to be around funny if you care about comedy. It's just harder for women The women the road that's why it's harder for women. It's the road is dangerous. It's creepy I mean especially when you're starting out and you have to stay in like a comedy condo and shit 100 % yeah, that is where women really have it harder. I think so well That's one aspect of it But also even just the act of standup like when you're going on stage and you're a woman and you're starting to talk about politics You're gonna get a certain percentage of the guys the audience like That guy that was doing this with you.
1:54:56Yeah, he was doing that because of a woman. Yeah, right? He was do you know how how bad it would be if an actual woman was on stage and And she's saying and the girl wants That she wants to be there like come on. She's really funny. Let's go see her You'll laugh at a woman women are capable of being funny Greg and they say and then Greg gets a little drunk They're like, you know, and now you're intimidated. Is that a boo? They're yelling show you this guy's gonna punch the horse Yeah, it could be show your tits worse. It could be a lot worse And it's also it's like so there's there's a certain amount of men that are gonna be prejudiced about what you talk about Yeah, you're not a lot of talk about politics don't fucking tell me who the fucking real president is Don't do that with any kind of I think with women that they get unfairly condemned for like sex jokes sex jokes Well, I'm like slut.
1:55:45Oh, look at her. She's a slut. No, she's a lot of jokes are about sex sex is right The way they use violence in a movie because it's extreme. We use sex as a punch line sometimes also When a woman tells a joke about sex if a guy in the audience is like yeah Yeah Yeah, he got horny from the joke. Yeah, yeah, right? That's creepy. That's possible if a man is on stage And he tells a sex joke and a woman goes yeah, you know look at this crazy bitch. I love it. Like immediately you got to defuse it It's not threat. Exactly. Completely different dynamic. So that part is more dangerous. It's more dangerous to be sexual It's more dangerous to be vulnerable late nights walking home in a random city.
1:56:25Yeah, I mean I was attacked on the road once I can't think like yeah, I was at a bar right after the gig in Vermont and some guy walked up to me and he goes He goes a university of Vermont and I was like no and he goes master's degree and I said you're getting colder And he just looked at me and he goes I'm gonna beat the shit at all you to me and like three people I was with and I just kind of like shrugged it off and he's drunk. I'm ignoring this right turned around He takes a pint glass and smashes it over my head. Oh Jesus Christ and He ends up running out the cops. They called the cops on him.
1:56:58I was all right I had honestly this sounds ridiculous, but I had a Jew throw at the time and it did provide some support for my head It really did help and he runs for the cops get him He went for one of the cops guns. Oh Jesus Christ. He was in a blackout. They they shoot him. No, no, they didn't And you upset about that? No, I don't want to die. Well, you're rooting for I wound A foot wound. I would look at the angle a little police brutality. I would have been okay with just above the knee They they rest him. I get a call and they're like hey We're like with the victims advocate or whatever from Vermont and they said uh Yeah, that was a therapist.
1:57:39He was in a blackout. He's going through a divorce the therapist. Yeah, the guy who hit me was a therapist and Therapists a lot of therapists are fucking insane. I used to date a therapist. She was removed from my show earlier this year Yeah, I mean a lot of them are a little cuckoo Well, that's like y 'all were on Harvard. He was like trying to self self -diagnose. Well, it always starts good with these guys Same with Jim Jones. They always start they always start nice and then it ends up at a place where you like you believe the fucking For lack of a better word you drink your own Kool -Aid right and I mean hour on Hubbard Jim Jones and anyone you want to fuck a lot of the a lot of crazy people are very Ted Bundy I mean not Ted buddy out Kaczynski very smart guy.
1:58:20Oh, yeah He was really a lot of these and Ted Bondy was probably fucking smart too. Yeah, creepy way creepy is just because your smart doesn't mean you're nice Of course not you can be a real monster totally, but but like a lot of therapists just just like You're a therapist doesn't mean you're not fucking insane right you can be insane So they have to know why you got involved in it could be because you're insane and you want to read people Yeah, and you can read people well and you can manipulate people. I mean it's a therapist that convinced her patient to kill her ex So she convinced her patient to kill her ex.
1:58:55That's a great movie premise. Yeah, no, it's but it's real See if you find that story Jamie. I know I saved it I can find it if you can't but this therapist talked this guy She talked this guy and killing her ex. That's fucked up Kill him. I'm gonna suck your cock. He's telling her stories He was telling her stories and she was telling him she loved him and you know something happened Something kind of hot about some fucking hot is shit. Look everybody dies female therapist can be really hot Counselor attempts to enlist patient in her plot to have her ex -husband murdered Cynthia guy. Wait a minute.
1:59:29Is that her that Cynthia? The nerve in these people showing old lady 250 an hour and then trying to get you involved in this shit Cynthia guy wanted her ex -husband dead, but her patient teamed with investigators to take her dead. Oh the patient's snitch That's why you don't get any good crazy pussy She This season six of Fargo It deals a deal dude a deal is a deal That's you know you shoot my axe. I said They should have taken it. What do you need to do the rest of your life? You're gonna go what would have happened if I shot that guy? There's something hot about fucking the therapist. I was like fucking the teacher It's like they're in a position of power over you Right most porn is fucking people you shouldn't be fucking.
2:00:09There's a real power struggle It's like when do we get to plug before I kill your ex or we're after I want I need I need to know I need to know for sure You're really on this program Dude I know what he guys just imagine okay, Sophia regard we're talking about her. Yeah, imagine someone not her of course Because that would be offensive, but imagine someone who looks exactly like her. Yeah, and she's trying to convince you To kill some terrible terrible terrible terrible person and if you do she's gonna suck your Yeah, do I have to take a picture them another one Jersey therapist asked patient to help her find a hit man and attack her ex Wow, you know what I would say if my therapist you know what I would say if my therapist said this to me I'd say this is my time that I pay for why are you talking to me about killing your fucking I was gonna keep talking What kind of deal we talking about depends on who I am.
2:01:03Yeah, if it's me right now Yeah, I'd be like this is crazy talk. Yeah, I mean I'm turned on and I'm in a reaction But I'd like you to stop. I'm gonna jerk off in your bathroom, but it was 24 year old me. I might kill that dude I fucking struggle that guy There's that movie about this you ever see a movie to die for with Nicole Kidman. It's a great movie Oh, yeah, but Henry wrote it wrote the graduate and she gets a young Joaquin Phoenix to murder her husband She's his teacher. It's kind of hot there. Oh Hell has no fury Like a woman's gold There's crazy Human beings that happen to have vaginas.
2:01:42Yeah, that's a real thing and to ignore that is just as crazy as to say that anybody who says They're trans can use the women's room because both of those things are equally crazy. Why can't yeah Why can't I think anyone can be crazy? I think of anything that's that's inclusive But there was a time where that was really shunned Women they're men who gaslight women and call them crazy when they're the ones manipulating them So I think that's where that comes from but like Doesn't mean a woman can't be crazy. It's 100 percent But it also does mean the guys will say a woman's crazy if they are trying to gaslight them That's true, too It's it's lazy point out why they're crazy.
2:02:19Don't just use that. Well, you know like show show give some examples Right, it's it's an apt. It's not effective because lazy is easy to count No, you're losing like now you're gonna now you're playing fucking pickleball You know, no, you're lazy, you know, like this is stupid. Yeah, the correct things to say exactly why What you're doing is lazy and what you think is actually behind that thinking yeah what you behave constructive Yeah, be constructive or just be Communicative into the point of like saying I have a real issue with this and I don't want to play stupid games. Yeah, so either we're nice to each other We're never gonna be nice to each other anymore because I'm gonna go away like I'm not interested and You know arguing about dumb shit that shouldn't really be something that anybody argues about is dumb shit My every time I'm in argument.
2:03:06I'm like this is fucking dumb It's because it here's what it should be yes One of you says something that bothers you and the other person if you're if you love them you should just be like all right 100 % there's no why you fight I when you see couples fighting in public. I'm like yeah you two should not probably be together Yeah, especially if you can't want you calling each other like I used to have neighbors who would scream in each other in ways where I'd be like This is not healthy for either you. No, I'd I never do that I never I can't scream and I can't say names. I just can't do it. I don't want to do that I don't ever want to do that in my life and I think it's a dangerous area to get to Because I think of your screaming at each other and calling each other names and saying mean shit to each other You're real close to violence.
2:03:50Yeah, you're on violence's door and You know, there's any like one constant in my life. It's been like Avoid violence at all costs. Yeah other than like competition But avoid avoid because that's kind of different. That's like I'm trying to figure out myself That's like what like martial arts competitions around you really trying to figure out how far you can go and how good you can get at this But like real -world violence at all costs fuck your ego get out of there. Yeah, it's not worth it None of its worth it sometimes in the moment you think it's fun I mean, I got in real fight with a guy in the park the other day because it was like me my friend right?
2:04:24No We got we're exchanging words. It didn't get physical. Thank God, but I No, we're arguing because they were like all these skater kids and they just kept coming through our basketball court And I was like guys come on like we're not going in your area. Just could you just stop coming here? And he goes a skaters We're here first. I'm like, oh great. Now. This is like the Middle East. We're fucking arguing about like Dude, just let us have and then we kind of escalate and I was like, hey, man. I don't want to argue Anything like meaning everything. All right. Good. That's good. But you get the wrong guy.
2:04:49You're like oh, yeah Well, so these guys who look for things like that. Yeah, especially guys who know how to fight a little bit And they'll they'll just decide they want to show off. They want to show off. They want to tee off on your face Yeah, you know, especially if they come from abused backgrounds or their dad beat him or something like that Yeah, those are fucking dangerous people because they're so used to violence They're so used to violence that violence to them is like first choice You know, they're ready to like smack you because people have been smacking them their whole life My biological father was just distant.
2:05:19So I'm like I think I'm passive because of that I don't want to argue even I like shrink kind of I'm not that but you know I think if you're an abusive dad yet you're gonna want to fucking throw down probably yeah, there's like a There's a fine line for with every interaction like how much could this interaction have been different if I approach to different Right, you know, how much of it could have been avoided if I was less defensive or if I was more friendly and disarming Or if I was just more careful with my words. How much different how much could I have manipulated this conversation or massage this conversation And you know, that's a thing you always have to think about when it comes to like two people that don't know each other Interacting with each other Especially if they're drunk You know like after a show or something like that.
2:06:05I hate bad drunk because I think I'm not a bad drunk That's a certain happy drunk me too. I'm a nice. I'm a nice drunk. I won't deny that I'm drunk when I'm drunk That's the one thing it's enough like I will literally come home should face and I'm like I had one drink I do if you wake me up before in the morning. I'll swear I was early awake I Only lie I'll tell that's my lie my lie is I was asleep. I wasn't asleep. That's my lie for why I don't know man I wish I knew it's worth the fucking there's an answer in there somewhere But that's the one time I will definitely lie if you could not really most of the time I'll probably tell the truth now But like in my life how many times have I lied when someone called woke me up like 99 % of the time Like I'm always like no, I'm awake.
2:06:51I'm awake. What's up? I've gotten better at this shit Like I've gotten better at saying I'm because I was at a next game with my girl the other night And like I was screaming at the ref and she was like you're fucking drunk and I was like yeah, you watch me drink Like what I don't know why that surprise you saw me And I was yelling at him. This is funny NBA ref. We say this guy Tony Brothers He's like a funny ref so I'm I'm like you stank you're the worst ref heart And he just looks around he gives me one of these like Just like annoyed. He's a funny. He's got a funny like face It's very sarcastic ref so But yeah, no, I I've gotten better at admitting it but for years I was like I'm not drunk It came from just being a kid and coming home drunk and my mom being furious And just learning how to be like a good drunk actor my parents would lock the doors So I would just keep hitting the doorbell my face passed out half against the door So they'd open it and I'd fall flat on my face.
2:07:38I was like 16 probably But I remember I was just puking my guts out and my mom would she doesn't know where to deal with the drunk My mom doesn't drink so she would come in to bring me camo meal tea as I'm puking. I'm like perfect. Yeah, this will this will solve it You got any zucchini's back there Serve with it the fucking Camo lady she didn't know she's just trying to say but uh No, I mean, I I can't stand bad drunks because I don't mind like if you're just a little sloppy But if you're like an aggressive drunk man, there's something I Nah, I got no time for that shit and it's always like How much do I have invested in you like how much do I know you know you?
2:08:17Oh, they really know you know you and it's just an off night and like you're all right, dude Don't worry about it. Give him a hug and go bro. You were crazy. You were crazy. You're trying to fight cops Exactly, that's the thing to was I really yeah, you try to fight a cop man come on Well, that's the thing I'm compassionate because I drink so I if someone's badly behaved I'm like hey, I'm usually as long as they're not like a huge asshole I don't want people kicked out of my shows ever so I'm very yeah very gentle with that but at the same time I think people I remember a guy through a fucking bottle at David Tells head and he was just like he gave I think he gave the guy's friend bail money for the guy Jesus Christ.
2:08:53He's that fucking nice. That's amazing. Yeah. I'm on that nice That's a bottle of my head Yeah, the comedy store in the dark days the dark days of like the 90s the comedy store was totally unpoliced I hate that and there was no crowd control. It was terrible And it was not good, but it was good because it was like working out at cronk gym where they kept the temperature like 98 degrees all the time He just is so hard to work there But you go on the road and you're like at the improv and Fort Lauderdale and you're fucking slaying your shits tight Because you're dealing with animals also You have the ability to flow of something happens in the crowd You know something happens.
2:09:34You're so accustomed to things going sideways. Yeah, we're comedy store Like the comedy store in 90s comedians, you know, and I count Diaz and one of those Will constantly involved in these chaotic shows. They were nuts, man There were nuts people would pile in there, but it makes you who you are makes you who you are It's it's not easy. It's that was a hard room. It was really loud. The hallway was really loud people are always out there in the hallway yelling That was Broadway comedy club for us in New York. That was a rough room I used to work the door there for a couple years and it sucked I they'd give you stage time to like go on But like I remember I fucking spit on me during my set and I'm like oh my god.
2:10:12This is like This is maybe a bit much Joey Cola told me that he was doing pips and Brooklyn and the guy showed him his gun Yeah, showed him his gun and he said you fucking suck you fucking suck You're not funny at all you fucking suck. I'm gonna shoot you in your fucking head He's like, hey buddy. What are I doing? He's trying to like like joke around with Joey. Cole is like the sweetest nicest guy ever a lot of pressure whoever's on next Yeah, but a fucking turn this around. Yeah, Joey's a funny dude. No, he's yeah, I have it But I know I'm aware of his reputation as he's a killer. He's a killer.
2:10:45Yeah, especially like the the 90s. Oh my god Joey Cole was an animal Who's an am I? Showing it pips. That's where I started out My guy. Oh, yeah, or a killer or a crazy person with a gun could be all the above But there's a lot of you're on Brooklyn. You're in sheep's head back. Yeah, I was like, what do you think? It's happening there, you know, you're in Chinatown and you're some guy, you know talking Chinese you get hit in the net with a Dude, I had an incident once I was leaving Terrible club to catch a rising star in Princeton His many is probably like 12 years ago or something and you know, one of the rare clubs that would headline me back then and I'm getting I'm coming back that night on the train on Amtrak whatever wait New Jersey Transit rather and I'm on the platform and I'm just like I got a bottle of whiskey with me I'm like that's I'm like I'm going back tonight all the few drinks.

He said to me like he's going everyone like how do you feel about immigration? And I'm like what is wrong with this guy? So when he gets over to me I'm like I'll fuck with him back. I was I had that much alcohol on me and he goes Where do you stand in immigration? I was like they're ruining the damn country and like I shouldn't have said that I was just trying to be silly like obviously I don't believe that but he's like he goes you're a bad fucking person He was I should fucking hurt you and I was like what is like he's a creepy little dude so I'm like whatever But I'm like maybe he's got a weapon.
2:12:09I get on the train. I'm hiding from he's trying to find me I'm like hiding because I just I don't want to deal with this How do you get away from him? So he keeps fucking with people as he's looking for me I'm like hiding I see him, but how'd you get away from him initially? I just I just kept walking away and he wasn't like he was kind of like Still keeping his eye on me and trying to find me, but he wasn't like chasing me, you know who sighs and you up Sizing me up and I'm on the train and I'm hiding so I'm like I don't want to fuck this guy's insane I didn't realize how crazy he was ever thought it was like and it was a rookie move by me.

You should not fuck with Yeah, find those in those prankster guys every now and then they run into the wrong dude It's not a smart move. I get it You're trying to get a lot of people to pay attention to you and that will be effective But you might get concussed you see old clips at Tom Green. I'm like thank god. He didn't get to ask it I mean, this is like balls crazy. He was crazy. He was innovative. I mean he was I credit him to being one of the Inspirations for me starting this for sure. I love him.

It was amazing It's in an M &M song He made a fucking M &M song he The one I remember all the time is undercutter's pizza where he would just follow people He'd follow a pizza delivery guy and bring all the toppings in a suitcase And he'd be like we're undercutter's pizza.
2:14:07We'll charge you less to the guy. He was delivering it to and I'm like and the guy Fucking tried to kick his ass. It was so undercutter's feet so stupid and funny.

2:14:43Yeah, I feel so I feel like that And I really like stand -up. He's a big he's a big name still, but I don't think people like that Freddie got fingered is a fucking great movie insane. I was great. I was one of Three people in the movie theater opening day when it came out the other two my friends My friend team movie. It was an empty movie. It didn't pan out commercially, but my friend Eddie Bravo told me about it He goes dude he goes. I know everybody says it sucks Go see Freddie got fingered. Oh really? It's insane. He goes. It's so funny. He jokes off a horse It's an elephant whatever whatever.
2:15:16No, he uh, it's amazing. It's so silly He's uh, ahead of his time. He was ahead of his time. Yeah, he sucks off a cow or something He's out of his mind. Yeah, it's one of you know what? It's one of the last movies I feel like they got destroyed by critics. This one critics still had their power And it was like a zero percent on rotten tomatoes or whatever and they're like It's like back like you think about critics. I don't think that I'm rotten tomatoes back then But whatever it was it was like it was like Roger Ebert and Jean Siskel being like this sucks And I abert's a great reviewer. He doesn't always get comedies But like if you read Ebert's old reviews, they're incredible.
2:15:49They're he's one of the best writers. Do you read the script that he wrote? No, I never did He wrote some crazy movie What was the movie that Roger Ebert wore? It's like it's so insane He'll like like what are you doing? What is this sucked? I mean, I'm not the one judge. I'm not a movie critic I don't know how to interpret scripts, but maybe he's made amazing But most people thought it was preposterous. Well his reviews though. I mean That was his talent his reviews because he would write shit and look if you're really a writer He would he would articulate things like fuck. I didn't realize I felt that way and that's what a good writer can do You know, yeah, but it's also he's a different human than you like an Adam Sandler movie for me I'm like I can review an Adam Sandler movie.
2:16:31I don't go. It's fun silly. It's great. The Zohan He fucks everyone cuts hair kicks everybody's ass. Yeah, it's really fun Yeah, the end of the movie like I had a good fucking time, but you can like both That's also he did unconscious Which is the complete polar opposite of that. What do you see that movie makes my fucking hand sweat? Yeah, I'm going oh Jesus don't fucking do this man. Don't fucking do this When you watch that gambling junk can't place in those bats and you feel the anxiety You feel it. I feel it. No, I was it was that's one of the most stressed Inducing movies I've ever seen but but man.

I it was on TV the other day and I was loving it and I to run out. It's that war movie, right? Yeah I'm put on the list right now. It's fucking great. It's so ridiculous and it's like basically like John Wick and World War two I got to see this.

2:18:18It's just incredible It's like Beautiful the way it's choreographed. It's like beautiful violence bro. John Wick one. I don't care what anybody says It's like one of the best movies ever in terms of like what it's trying to do Was it trying to do it trying to excite you and get you fired up and get you engaged and wanting this guy to be Successful and kill all these bad guys and you're on his side immediately 100 % and he's doing things that you know can't possibly have a person who is okay with you murdering a dog Exactly, you can't fucking I mean, maybe Michael Vic 10 years ago It's also redemption denied so this guy has this redemption story He's decided to settle down with this amazing woman I'm not gonna be a hitman for the Russian mob anymore, which is kind of problematic already Yeah, it's probably killed a lot of nice people But you have beautiful hair and you are Keanu Reeves someone to let it slide for now But this woman obviously they were really in love and then you know when she dies And then they steal his car and kill his dog You don't fuck with a man's car.
2:19:16They're done. Okay Yeah, okay And you're so you're rooting for him every step of the way And then the fucking guy who is the guy who played the father There's the head of the Russian mom he just passed away that guy a great actor god damn he's incredible He's so good in that movie man. He's well in the fog when he's explaining to his son what he did wrong Yeah, you know because he kind of you could tell he's kind of on he's more like wick He's more on his side, but he's like my fucking son. Well, he knows what's gonna happen. Yeah, he fucked Yeah, when he says to him he goes we called him Baba Yaga Yeah, he played this is one of my favorite scenes in any movie when Ari burnt Tom and I were having sober October fitness challenge.

2:20:26You know how you love Barbie? I enjoyed Barbie, too. I don't like it. I thought it was fun. I thought it was a silly movie. I enjoyed it. I went with my wife and my daughters. We had a good time. Yeah. Look, I understand. It was beautiful looking. I think that's Barbie for me. It was, it's not for me. Well, I enjoyed it. I'm not faking enjoy it. I thought it was a fun silly movie. What did you not like about it? Hmm. I just didn't think it was that funny. I just thought it was kind of like, I'm gonna get trash for this. But I just thought it was, I know everyone loves this fucking movie. But I just thought it was, I didn't laugh.
2:21:03You didn't laugh ever? Not really. No. A lot of a few times. I was looking to laugh. I was looking to laugh. I went into it with a really good mood. You know, I was looking to laugh. I was looking to have a good time. I was too. No, I never go in wanting to not like a movie. I love movies, man. I think Red of Gerwig's crazy talented. I just didn't really, you know what else? I couldn't fucking stand. Well, everyone's talking about this movie, Saltburn. Do you see this? No. What is that? It's like, talented Mr. Ripley for retards. I guess. It's like, if you fucking can't, if you don't like nuance, and you need to see a dude's dick every three minutes.
2:21:37What is it? Saltburn. What is this movie about? Have you heard of it? It's basically talented. It's hard of it. I haven't seen it. It's just not a nuanced movie. It's like so over the top. Look, the actors are very good. And it looks beautiful. Just I think the script was like, I've never heard of this until right now. Oh, it's huge. It's a healing movie. Yeah. I'm so out of the loop, dude. Yeah. I didn't like it. I'm out of the culture loop. Do you think you want to get into films? Is that where you're so good? I love movies. Yeah, I'm working on Norman and I wrote a movie with Noah Garne Schwartz and Esther Steinberg.
2:22:08It's like a drinking buddies movie. It's fun. It's really funny. So hopefully we do some of that. Yeah, I'm trying to develop a TV show. Right now. I like writing. Yeah. I like writing plots and dialogue and stuff. And I worked on one for a while at Dana Ghoul. We worked on an animated show for so fucking long. And we couldn't sell it. But I loved it. I will make it someday. But yeah, I think this show I'm working on. I'm writing it with... Do you know Michael Lawrence, the comedian? Another name. He's a fucking beast. Maybe I do know him. He was a roast battle champion back in the day. Okay. But he's a great standup too.
2:22:44But we're creating this show. And I think it's going to be really cool. But yeah, I love movies. I like... Pull up Michael Lawrence. I love standup the most. And that'll always be number one. But like, I want to try other... You should have a news. Yes. And I... Could you do, man? And I love movies. Oh, I know that dude. He's great. He's very funny. The lines he's written for this. I'm like, fuck, they're beautiful. I like... I think everybody should like other stuff too. I don't think it's bad to like other stuff. I love sports. I love movies. I love... I love... I have so many interests. But I mean...
2:23:15Like, I told you, like Golden Age Hollywood. I love film noir. I love like old school movies and shit. I mean... I love to be a fucking spider on the wall during like a James Cagney movie. Dude. Okay. I can I give you a book recommendation? Yeah. I think it's called... Look up the title exactly. It's called Lunches with Orson, I think. It's about Orson Welles. It's literally Orson Welles shit talking... Every actor and director from the 30s to like the 80s. It's one of the funniest, but he's incredibly funny. Oh, he was brilliant. Because he... I mean... He underperformed. It's brilliant. I mean...
2:23:48He underperformed. But think about making Citizen Kane. I know. But he underperformed. But that... That always drove me crazy. Like, why? Why did he go to sell wine after that? Like, why did he... I understand that. I'm not criticizing him for selling wine. I would do it too. My criticism is like, you were the fucking man. You were War of Worlds. You know, you played that on the radio and freaked out half the country. Yeah. You were Citizen Kane. You know, he was going up to get William Randolph Hearst. I mean, he was essentially making a film that was about William Randolph Hearst. William Randolph Hearst was very aware of it.
2:24:25So it was everyone else. Scary, powerful. So scary that marijuana is still a scheduled one drug today. Because of William Randolph Hearst. That's a fact. Yeah. That's a fact. William Randolph Hearst with Hearst Publications. They started printing... They're the ones that came up with this whole idea, along with Harry Anselinger, that marijuana was a different drug. Because they were using hemp for everything. They were using hemp for clothes. Hemp makes a superior fabric. It makes a superior paper. It's way better for paper. It's way more sustainable. You could repopulate. If you have land and you're growing hemp on it.
2:25:00And you cut it all down. You grow it back in a year. If you have land where you're growing trees. And you chop them down to make paper. You're fucked for 20, 30 years, man. Wow. So different thing you're doing. And it's far superior. But for years, they had used paper. Because there was a machine that came out called a decordicator. And when the machine came out, it could effectively process hemp fiber with a machine. Wow. Because they used to use slaves. So when they used slaves, it wasn't as cost effective as cotton was. So then they started cotton picking. Eli Whitney comes out with cotton gin.
2:25:34And then hemp gets kind of put on the back burner rather. Because it's not as easy to do. Like, you got to beat the fuck out of that stalk to break it down into fibers and weave those fibers. But if you do, it's way superior. Wow. So this invention comes out called the decordicator. Pull up a decordicator so you can see what it is. So it's this big steel wheel with these like rods poking out. These pokey points poking out. And they grind down the hemp fiber with this so that you can make superior paper. So popular mechanics or popular science on the front cover says hemp the new billion dollar crop.
2:26:12So there's a competition with these people that had paper mills. So William Randolph Hearst not only has Hearst publications, he also has paper mills. And he has huge forests that he's chopping down to make paper for his newspaper. So instead of like switching everything over to hemp, he decides to demonize hemp. So he creates a new name. They create a new drug called marijuana. And marijuana was the name they used to use for a wild Mexican tobacco. And so they attribute this marijuana name to cannabis, which they've always used. Because it's hemp. It's the same thing that they've always used for.
2:26:47But he villainized it. He villainized it and then came out with refer madness and those crazy hurricane movies. It makes you shoot up a school. They started writing stories in Hearst publications about blacks and Mexicans who are taking this marijuana and raping white women. So they put everybody into a fucking fever pitch and then they outlawed it. Wow. Yeah. That is fucking nutty. And that it's 2024. And it's still schedule one. That is crazy. Crazy. I did not know that was heard. That's William Randolph Hearst. So that's the guy that Orson Wells was up against. Incredible. I mean, dude, I highly recommend it.
2:27:23It's like the amount of shit talking. I mean, everybody gets people. It's like basically a podcast, but in text. But like people, Richard Burden will like walk up to a mid interview and he's like, can you see I'm not talking to someone else. Like he's like a psycho. But there's one part where like this guy Henry Jaaglem like warships Orson Wells. Like he's like, he's my hero. He's a genius. So I guess he knew Peter Bogdanovich and he goes, how about like, setting me up with him. I wrote a movie part that would kill it for him. He's like, he's never going to do it. But if you want to meet him, he's staying at this hotel in New York.
2:27:53So you know, he's like a fucking dude. He's like, every time he's a dinner, you know, he's got eating problem. So like, I'll have one bite of this and then he goes back to his room in order six rabbis. And like, gorgeous. But this guy goes to meet him. And he's like, literally knocking on his hotel room door to be in his movie. And there's a guy who's interviewing him in the book. They became buddies. But he knocks in his door and he goes, uh, please be in my movie. And he goes, I'll never do a director's first film. Fuck you. I'll never do it. And he goes, you acted in your first film. And he was like, he goes, no, I won't do it.
2:28:20And he goes, you love magic. Please, you know, please do this. I know you're an amateur magician. And he goes, never. And then he pauses and he's like, in this film, could I wear a cape? And he's like, yeah. And he's like, all right, I'll do it. That's all it took. He's a fucking weird dude. That's wild. But he, uh, the amount of people he shit talks in the book where he's like, fuck, he's like, fuck Woody Allen. And he'll just go on like, uh, uh, but it's like, everything he says, like, I love Woody Allen. But everything he says, I'm like, it's pretty fucking funny. What was he saying about Woody Allen?
2:28:49You know that his type of self -deprecation is insincere and he can tell he loves himself. Ooh. He's like, I don't buy it. I think this guy loves himself. And like, he's like, anyone who's this, who's this self -deprecating, it's fucking bullshit. He loves himself the way he acts out himself. A lot of stuff like that. He'll shit on like, ooh, I like it. Not only was he skeptical of Allen's approach to comedy, but he was vehemently averse to the hungry ego it served. I hate Woody Allen physically. I dislike that kind of man. He said adding, oh yes, I can hardly bear to talk to him. He has the chaplain disease.
2:29:24A lot of people hate a chaplain. Oh, don't say this about chaplain. Well, you know, a lot of people, I love Fatty Arbuckle. That book about Fatty Arbuckle who fucking hated chaplain. They, I think they ended up all right, but they were like, he was like team buster Keaton. Oh, I don't know if you want to get on team Fatty Arbuckle. Really? He didn't do it. He didn't do it. He didn't do it. That's bullshit. He was framed. Yeah. What happened? Great book called frame up. I don't know exactly who framed him. How much do you have here? He was life's savings. He was exonerated. Was he? Yeah. Oh, he was.
2:29:50Yeah, it's, but that's the fucked up thing we're talking about is if he did it. Oh, and this was 1930, what? Yeah. And you know what the fucked up part is? He had to do like four trials to get properly exonerated. So it ate up his life and he died like a year later from heart attack. Oh, my God. But no, he was, dude, and his career was over. He created the pie throw. Think about how fucking crazy that is. Fatty Arbuckle invented the pie throw in the face. So what was wrong with chaplain? I think they thought it was... Is chaplain like Michael Jordan? No, I think. If you think about like you're that guy back then, you're the comedy guy.
2:30:22You're the fucking king of comedy. I don't know. I think he... I think obviously a genius, but I think also, like, think of the circle. He rolled with like Einstein. Right. But that's what I'm saying. Remember that speech that he gave in that movie? What was the dictator? What was that movie then? I think... No, it's movies that would have planted every night at the seller. There's a speech. I know him silently. There's a speech that he gave that is... It's relevant today. Like this speech about humanity. You know, do you remember that? I don't. It's brilliant. It's been a while since I've watched this stuff.
2:30:58I mean, I was more into Buster Keaton personally. Well, Buster Keaton was amazing. Yeah. The stunts that that guy did. Holy shit. Holy shit, man. Broke his everything. He broke everything, dude. That guy was doing wild shit. He was falling off buildings going through awnings. Like legitimately going through awnings. It's insane. See if you can find that Charlie Chaplin's speech. I want to get to Buster Keaton. But there's a speech that he did... Do you know what I'm talking about, Jamie? I think so, sir. I don't think so. Let me see what it looks like. Yeah, that's it. Let me hear this. So he's got the Hitler mustache.
2:31:30Yeah. He looks like Hitler. They've added the on -zimmer inception music to this. I'm sorry. I don't want to be a little more dramatic. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. Do we want to keep the music? Yeah. No. Unless you can find one that doesn't have the music. Yeah. It definitely does. Yeah. Fatty Arbuckle was definitely framed, though. And he... Here it is. Oh, here it is. Fatty, we got you back. From beyond the grave. I'll have to say it's fuck Fatty Arbuckle. I'll have to say it's not a lot of laughs per minute on that speech. That's a good point. I'll think that was a comedy.
2:32:05No, no, it was. But it wasn't. What was the movie? The Great Dictator. The Great Dictator. What was the movie about? I don't know. I don't know. But that was pretty fucking good. It was applicable today. It gives you... It actually makes me sad sometimes. Yeah. I mean, about machines. But also, it's like... It was so obvious. They were... They saw it. The writing on the wall. Yeah. So did Ted Kaczynski, by the way. Yeah. He made a lot of good points when you take out the murder. He did. You take out all the bombings. He was saying the technology was going to replace us. He's right. That's the worst part when these monsters are like, man, but he obviously was a bright mind.
2:32:40That was a satire? It says, 1940, American anti -war political satire, black comedy. Black comedy. Written, directed, produced, scored by, and starring, Charlie Chaplin, following the tradition of many of his other films. Wow, he did everything, man. Yeah. Of course, he was a dick. If you're doing all those things, you're Steve Jobs, what you're doing in a movie. It's the same kind of animal, you know? I don't know, man. I like Louie. You know? Yeah, but he's different. Yeah. Louie does everything on Louie. I'm not saying that it's impossible to be like a cool person and also be all those things.
2:33:14It's just harder to do. Yeah. I get it. I feel like guys like that probably don't have Charlie Chaplin as friends either. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Which I think is one of the critical things about our occupation is that we're constantly surrounded by people like us. Like, we're all kind of very like -minded animals. And we have an appreciation for each other that is very different than most occupations. You know, I have like a reverence for like elite professional comedians. Like, I'll do anything for you. Me too. Yeah. That's all I feel. I feel like we're all in like a very sacred tribe of there's only like - I always say there's probably a thousand of us on planet earth.
2:33:52Yeah. If we're really being kind and generous and giving people like a great amount of curve. The reality is probably about 250 that I would want to hang out with that I would say is our legit. It's a fortunate - it's fortunate that we get to be part of this fraternity of comics who are just very cool. And luckily, most of the people that I've wanted to meet have always ended up being pretty cool. And if they're not - Look, there's exceptions. But - The exceptions I think existed in the TV world. Yeah. Honestly, the exceptions that I encountered, I don't want to throw anybody on the bus, but there's some people that I like now that in the 2001 I wanted to smack.
2:34:36There were some people that were just like really rude and shitty because there was the culture of being rude and shitty that was almost encouraged. Like, when Phil Hartman came over to News Radio from Saturday Night Live, he had this very bizarre kind of anticipation of hostility from other cast members. Because he was very highly paid. Obviously, he was like, I was in famous at all when I was on News Radio. I was a nobody. I had been on one show called Hardball that was on Fox that bombed it aired like six episodes and I was the star of the show. That show got canceled. I got a development deal with NBC and all of a sudden, like, dude, I had never taken acting lessons.
2:35:16They made me take - I had to get an acting coach. I was all of a sudden sitting next to Phil Hartman. And I was 27. And he's brilliant. Yeah, he's brilliant. And I had never even thought about being an actor. They just gave me money. And they said, do you want to act? I'm like, okay, what do I have to do? I had to pretend. I had no experience acting at all. And I did that show. And then Phil Hartman had this like distrust of all the other people in the cast. And he had this like real arms -like thing. And I was always like, dude, you're Phil Hartman. What are you talking about, man? You're the man.
2:35:49Why do you think that was? Saturday Night Live. He told me. Oh, they're trying to take your thoughts. Yes, dude. They were cutthroat. They were cutthroat. That pressure, that show. Weird backstabby ways. Like they would get your assistant fired. They would do weird shit. You were too close to one of the PA's. Fuck him. Get him out of here. Like one of the other cast members would turn on one of the PA's that you would become friendly with. I've heard it's tough. It was screaming at each other in the hallway. Fuck you. Stealing each other's jokes. It was creepy. It was creepy. And so Phil and I became friends.
2:36:20And as we became friends, especially after the first season, because the first season was like really long hours. They were trying to work out the show. And you know, I got to become... We were hanging out 15, 16 hours a day. We're on the set all the time. We get to become friends. And then he just sort of loosened up and they explained. Like it's like cutthroat. Cutthroat environment over there. What a bummer that that's what that does to you. Because I have obviously a great appreciation for Phil Hartman. And like, I thought that was a great show. And I mean, shit. I was watching... I watched Jingle all the way on the holidays.
2:36:51I fucking love that movie that Arnold and Sinbad. And it was a great dude, man. He's a great comic actor. He was a funny dude too. He would do stand -up for the... He would do warm -ups for the crowd. Just fucking around. He would do like... You know, he had amazing Bill Clinton impression. He had a bunch of... But he had like... And he was like thinking about doing stand -up. But he just was a terrible marriage. Terrible. Terrible. And I was the one guy on the show. That was like... Get the fuck out. Like right now. Yeah, you were like, be honest with her. Tell her what you did. And I'm sure she'll take it well.
2:37:28No, it wasn't even that. It was the opposite. Just get away. I know, I'm fucking around. She would insult him at parties and stuff publicly. Like, it was gross. It was scary. It was like, you know, there's sometimes people are together and they fucking hate each other. But they for whatever reason do not leave each other. Yeah. And I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is. I don't understand it. But some people just stuck in a pattern. Sometimes they don't see how quite how bad it is. Even when your friends pointed out, you don't really see it till you get some distance from that relationship.
2:38:02Well, it's also you learn from your parents. And if you come from parents, and beat the shit out of each other, or scream at each other, throw things at each other. You get accustomed to thinking that's how relationships work, how they function. It's a real sketchy. Bad parenting is so fucking. It was going to tell you about Fatty Arbuckle. His dad walked out. So what did Fatty, I'm sorry, I don't want to interrupt this part. But I need to know, we should clarify. What did Fatty do? He was accused of raping and murdering a woman. He didn't do it. Murdering. Yeah. Wasn't it like a bottle broken inside of her?
2:38:40Yeah, that was the fake thing. That was fake. I forgot to read this years ago. What was it, Jamie? So how did she get murdered? It was a frame up. I don't know. I don't know who framed him, but someone framed him up. What was the reason for that? I don't remember, because I read this years ago, but he is innocent, and he was exonerated. But if we get fined, that'd be awesome. Reading a article about right now, it's hard to find the actual answer. But he was a dude who his dad fucked him up, because his dad walked out on the family, and I think the mother was like mental, but he was supposed to be raised by his father, so he took his dad on to a hotel, and they would take him, take a train to the hotel, your dad is where your dad is.
2:39:23So his dad hears that he's fucking coming, and he sold the hotel and disappeared. So then he just shows up, and it's like a fat kid, like 13. He's like, what do I do? And they're like, we can give you a job here. So he started working at the hotel, like 13. And then he finds out he's good by joining the talent show, and they're like, this guy's got an incredible voice. And then he was being silly and funny, like this guy's like kind of a genius. He starts becoming like an incredible touring performer, and of course the dad wants back in. Oh God. Of course. Classic. But it's like, but yeah, I remember being like, his wife, who he was divorced from, was like, he's fucking innocent, that like they divorced on like, not amazing terms, and she's like, he didn't do shit.
2:40:05So what did they frame him for? Was he becoming too big of a star? I was trying to read through this. It's to explain in the entire story in the Smithsonian article about it. And it's like, it's long. Yeah, I'm sorry for bringing this up. If I don't have fully have a grasp on this. No, it's okay. A brief. That happens every day in my life. Okay. Where should we start here? Right, just right. Okay. According to our buckle, fishbok arranged everything from the rooms to the guests to the liquor, despite prohibition. And on Labor Day, September 5th, 1921, our buckle awoke to find that he had many uninvited guests.
2:40:46He was still walking around in his pajamas, bathroom, and slippers, when he saw Delmont and Rap and expressed concern that the reputations might alert police to the gin party. In Los Angeles, Delmont was known as a Madame and Blackmailer. Rap had made something of a name for herself as a model, clothing designer, aspiring actress and party girl. Oh, just a regular LA under 30 woman. But the food and booze were flowing by then. The music was playing, and our buckle was soon no longer focused on his exhausting work schedule. The burns on his backside or just who all the guests were. What happened in the ensuing hours would play out on the front pages of William Randolph Hearst.
2:41:32There you go again, that motherfucker. National chain of newspapers in lured headlines before our buckle had a chance to tell his side of the story. Virginia Rap was 25 years old when she arrived at the St. Francis Hospital in San Francisco for a Labor Day weekend party. Oh, hotel, excuse me, let's say hospital. St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco for a Labor Day weekend party. Maud Delmont, Delmont soon painted a sinister portrait of the Happy Go Lucky Portley Prince of Silent Film. This is what she told police. After our buckle and Rob had a few drinks together, he pulled her actress into an adjoining room saying, I've waited for you five years and now I've got you.
2:42:14After a half hour, so Delmont heard rap screaming, so she knocked on and then kicked at the locked door. After delay, our buckle came to the door in his pajamas, wearing rap's hat, cocked at an angle and smiling his foolish screen smile. Behind him, rap was sprawled on the bed, moaning. Our buckle did at the actress said according to Delmont, rap was taken to another room with Dr. Summer and he attended to her. He said, this might take forever for me to read. Yeah, so this is it. She died. That's why I was living there. She died. She died September 9th of a ruptured bladder. So what actually happened, though?
2:42:52I don't know. Then I went to the newspapers and then he turned himself in. Right. And that's where I was like, I think this is where she didn't wait too long. Right. But like, what was the actual story? That's right. I don't know. So he's charged. We've got to go in a hole here trying to chase, I think they were trying to blackmail him. Hmm, we have, okay, hold on a second. There's the matter of the telegrams that she sent to attorneys in both San Diego and Los Angeles. We have Roscoe our buckle in a hole here, chance to make some money out of him. Oh, big. Yeah. Oh, okay. They were trying to railroad him.
2:43:26He was making a million a year in 21. That's a lot of chatter. Oh, what is that? Yeah. So they were trying to buy. A million a year in 1921. What was that money? What's that today? That's got to be like. Let's guess. The doctor treated rap money. That the hotel testified. She had told him our buckle did not try to sexually assault her. But the prosecutor got the point dismissed as hearsay. There we go. Yeah. Whoa. So what happened? Well, I don't know. Her bladder ruptured. No marks of violence on the body. No signs of girl been attacked anyway. Oh, so she might have just had like a chronic bladder condition.
2:44:03Oh, so she might have just died. Yeah. Fatty Arbaca was making a million dollars. Before we go any further, let's find out what a million dollars in 2020. I'm going to guess more. Maybe 25. I say 50 million. Maybe, yeah. A million dollars in 1921 and in 2024 money. You're probably right. I say it's 50 million. Because inflation is stupid. It says it's about 15. 8 million. That's it. Damn. Damn. I'm both off. So he was just only minor ball. For a while, these are ball and weigh harder than him. I mean, his money would have went down and then it started going back up. Oh, okay. From the depression?
2:44:42Yeah. After the 30s, that million he had 1921 would have only been worth 750K. Oh, wow. 1932. So 10 years later, if you just let's sit, I guess. Then it went up. Yeah, he was a party animal, but he wasn't, he wasn't a rapist or a murderer. No. So she just had a disease. Yeah. And she died of that disease and they just had him for money. Yeah. Dark shit. It's a book called Frame Up. It's really good. It's hard to find. He was acquitted the first trial and then they tried to get him again during deadlocked. Third trial, our buckle was a lot to call witnesses for the first time. Wow. So we got off and he made a comeback, but he died like a year after.
2:45:20The trolley chaplain thing and that thing makes me say, it's always been fucked. Yeah. I mean, it's almost kind of always been fucked. It's the best time for comedians to do because we like, it's not as, at least with comics. It's like more, as you said, it's more fraternal. I mean, we're like, we're kind of all cool and there's so much room now. There's so much room. There's so much room. Two of them back then, dude. The people that are complaining about other comics now, it's like, listen, figure it out. Figure it out. Figure it out. Stop complaining about the Twitter's not your journal. Chill the fuck out.
2:45:50And neither is Instagram. Stop. Yeah. Stop being stupid. You just make it funny if you want to do that shit. Just be better than what you are. Figure it out. Or don't. Or stop doing it. I remember. I tell say that to me once I was complaining years ago and he goes, maybe he said to someone else actually goes, but he goes, get funnier. I like how you said it was at you and then it was like, no. I remember with someone else. I don't want to use his name because he's a great comics. I don't want to put it on him. But he didn't mean it. Like, you're not funny. He meant that like, well, you get better, you better get funnier.
2:46:17Yeah. Because what else can you do? Try to be fucking funny. And all the other things that are out of control, the more attention that you spend on them, the less attention you will have towards the thing that you can control. It's that simple. It's like an allocation of resources issue. You can't allocate resources things that are completely unproductive. And in fact, counterproductive. They fuck with you psychologically. You get up in the middle of the night. You go to pee. You think about it. You're like, fuck. And then you can't go back to sleep. You grind your teeth. Yeah. You have to get a fucking dental procedure.
2:46:47Not good, man. Don't be involved in unnecessary conflict. It's just not good for you. It's not good for anybody. It's not good for that person. It's not good for you. It's not good for the people that you're going to encounter after the conflict. It's not good for the people that they encounter after the conflict. There's a butterfly effect that happens with stuff like that. It's pointless. And the business is going to keep changing. That's the thing. It's like, this is not what it was 20 years ago. In 10 years, it's going to be different. Yeah. Like, think about how big I think about this all the time.
2:47:13Comedy Central was the fucking king. Mm -hmm. They're useless now. They're useless. It's also what's happening now. It's like a very organic merging of like, you know, for a lack of a better word artist. Because we are artists. But we're artists. It's like calling a comic an artist. It's almost like, for us, it's like shut the fuck up. It's not. It is art. But it's like, it's also, don't get goofy. We're not supposed to be the pretentious ones. It sounds pretentious. It does sound pretentious. We are looked down upon at the award shows. Yeah. Because they are like we're artists. I say we should look down upon the award shows.
2:47:50When I saw Joe Koi do that award show, I didn't get upset that Joe Koi didn't, his jokes didn't hit. I got upset that he was willing to do it. Joe Koi thought of rena's. Yeah. Don't do that terrible thing. But you want, you always want to be a part of that club. Don't, don't do it. I think you have to go in. You're a handicap. You're doing it with 10 days notice. What kind of goofy. What kind of goofy -ass fucking organizers. Higher top talent. Don't want to do it. No one wants to do it. No one wants to do it. No one wants to do it. No one wants to do it. You said the jokes in the 90s. Gage jokes in the 90s.
2:48:18And guess what? You fucking awarded Roman Polanski like man of the year, 15 years ago. Accuse the rape. So, not, excuse, he did it. Well, we'll Smith's slap Chris Rock on stage and then they give him a standing ovation. Disgusting. It's the whole thing's ridiculous. They're ridiculous people. The point is, it's fucking Sean award shows. And anytime someone calls his artist, I think of a comic asking an audience member, are you taking a poop or a pee as they're walking to the bathroom? We're not artists. But the problem is the word art has been hijacked by douchebags. Yeah. We are artists. But we're artists in the sense that we create things.
2:48:52Everybody who creates things is an artist. Just like a chef is an artist. I bet chefs probably the pretentious ones will refer to themselves as artists. The fucking down to earth, dude. Those are my least favorite chefs. So the ones. Of course. The fucking fine dining chefs. You're like, all right, dude. Give me something I can, that will fill me up. Just, you know, there's a fine line where you can cross over into pretentious land. I think the problem is we got into this to be funny. And some people lose sight of that and they start pandering. Like I can tell when a comic stops fucking touring.
2:49:20I can tell when you're act. You stop taking it through Missouri. You got to take it through every fucking state. You got to, you got to make this. I don't want to use the word marketable, but you got to make this palatable for the country. There's a reason. If I do a joke about New York, it's for everybody. If I do a joke about riding the subway, it's hitting in Kansas City. Because it has to. Otherwise, you would work in for your small bubble. And when I see comics put out specials, I can be like, this dude only worked it out in LA or New York or whatever. And you need the road. Because the second you stop relating to remembering what got you into this for the right reason, you're doing it for the wrong reason.
2:49:57You also have to remember, when you were first starting out, the idea of being on the road headline a comedy club would be the craziest fucking dream you could ever imagine. I don't have to go to my day job anymore and now I get to fly to Cincinnati and go do stand -up comedy to pack crowds. Two shows on the front. Half pack. Half pack. Pretty good crowds. Yeah. Go bananas. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday sometimes. Yeah. It's a dream. It's the ultimate dream. Because the idea of being a professional seems so impossible to achieve. Yeah. It felt amazing. And I romanticized the road as I still do.
2:50:36Like it was a different thing. It was like, thank God I can do this to now. I'm like, got to hone it. Well, that was the thing about Jenny. You know, when I was first doing the road, one of the things I would always ask. I was like, who's the biggest douchebag that you had to take? I asked that too. It was always Jenny. He just hated it. He hated it. He hated it. He was the douche to people. Yeah. Unfortunately. It's just he was very uncomfortable. You like, obviously. He wanted to be a bigger movie star, right? He wanted to be a movie star. You're the great actor. Well, he was really good in the mask.
2:51:04Great movie. But really what he was was a great stand -up. But great stand -ups were an appreciated the way they are now. If Jenny was alive today, he would be doing arenas. You know? I mean, that's what would be going on. He would be like one of the biggest stand -up comics alive. But during his time, no one did anything other than comedy clubs. There's a few guys, like Sam Kennisin. He used to do like great wood center for the performing arts. Rodney did that. Bill Cosby did that. But for the most part, stand -up comics did comedy clubs. And that's it, including Jenny. And he just felt like a failure when he was on the road, headlining these clubs.
2:51:37What a sad thing. It's crazy. It's crazy. They all wanted the golden egg. And the golden egg was what Rose Ann got, or what Tim Allen got. It was a sitcom. That generation doesn't get it. I did Letterman show on Netflix and he was like baffled by me putting out YouTube specials. And not in a way that he was so kind. I mean, he was such a nice guy. But remember, he kept asking me like, I don't get how you make money off this. Why make the money off touring? But he's like, well, yet understand. When I did this shit, it was all about the sitcom. That was the money. You know? So it's, as we said, the industry is changing.
2:52:08Like, a lot of really funny comics were passed over by these industry streamers. And then did their own thing. And then, at a certain point, they'll find you. The point is to not get better. You look at it. I like Shane Gillis. And did he get better? No. He stayed fucking funny. He got funny, Ur. Of course. He even got better when he got canceled. It's just, there's a different world now where there's no gatekeepers anymore. The gatekeepers, they still exist if you want to participate. If you want to do the comedy central thing, they still exist. Yeah. You know, HBO still makes specials. You can do it that way if you choose to.
2:52:42But the gatekeepers of real mass media are now non -existent. It's all just YouTube. So then you have to be careful with what our YouTube's, whatever YouTube's turns of services are. Because some of them get real squirrely. And you can get the goalposts moving in. It's moving. It's moving. They're changing the rules. Like, if you make a Nazi joke now, they're like, did you say the word Nazi? Like, I was condemning Nazis. Yeah. There was satirical. But you said the word Nazi and some fucking algorithm that can't detect sarcasm is like, time out. Yep. Not good. Yeah. Not good. It's also, it's clumsy.
2:53:14But it's also, you know, they're fucking. You're dealing with an enormous number of human beings. Exactly. You're managing at scale that's impossible to really even wrap our stupid little heads around. The amount of humans that are like, just, but which really leads us back to that guy's text message getting intercepted. Like, are they just doing that with everything because it appears they are? If they're doing that in a snapchat message group, which is supposed to be encrypted, and they find the word, I'm going to blow up this plane, terrorists, whatever, ISIS, Taliban, whatever it is. They see those words, of those words, like, if they get flagged, that means nothing is private.
2:53:52Also, you have to recognize you want, oh, I want everybody to be safe. Okay, right. But those are human beings, just like you. This is like you having the kind of power that it means to have, to access everyone's text messages. That's not, that's a crazy power. And if you're the guy, I mean, I don't care how many checks and balances there are. There's got to be somebody at the end of that stream that could just read and see all your dick pics. There's somebody at the end of that stream. Good angle. Yeah. Does somebody lock it up? Sees every time you swipe right. There's somebody that sees it all.
2:54:23Yeah. They see everything. And that is probably inevitable. With the bottleneck of technology being interconnectivity, right? And the other problem with that is money. Because if the, if money is just ones and zeros, and it gets to the point where, when you get to quantum computing where any sort of encryption is really preposterous. And then people have commercial grade quantum computing in their house. And you could kind of like, there's no code that can't be cracked. There's no Bitcoin that can't be stolen. And then what happens? Like, what happens then? Like, how do you, how do you have money?
2:54:58How do you trust anything? How do you trust anything? Yeah. How do we trust anything now when these deep, I'm in so many, I mean, I'm in so many ads for products that I'm definitely not selling. I'm in so many of them, man. People say that to me all the Deep fakes and shit. Total deep fakes. But how can you trust, not just machines, but any, I'm going to be reading about Leonard Cohn, his manager's stole his $5 million retirement fund. Yeah. That's why he was torn in the 70s. Happens. Yeah. Happens all the time. Machines, people, I mean, like with money and your information, you're putting a lot of trust in either.
2:55:30Yeah, you're putting a lot of trust in a lot of different things. But also, like, I'm not a communist and I'm not a socialist. And I'm definitely pro - capitalist. But I envision a future where all of these things, where I think these mechanisms that we have used to achieve power and influence and what Will Stores had talked about yesterday, the status game, status. All of these things will venture in the future. I mean, we could get to a point where any idea of competition that we're having right now, what human beings enjoy right now all goes away. And we all become a part of some network. Some network that changes what it means to be a human being.
2:56:27Like, human beings stop being human. I think we're not that far away from that. And if you look at what we are today versus what Fadi Arbuckle was, imagine you being friends with Fadi Arbuckle and back in the day, and William Randolph -Hers, but also having a YouTube channel. You're like, William Randolph -Hers, the piece of shit. Like, this is what he did about marijuana. This is what he did about this. This is what he did about this. This is what he did to Fadi Arbuckle. This is why they did it to Fadi. And this is what actually happened. This is what a woman had a chronic bladder infection.
2:56:54And, you know, it could be like a big thing. It could be like something everybody talks about. And it gets the ruling overturned. But back then, you had no chance. As things move on, it would be more of that. Well, there's pluses and minuses to more people having voices, right? I mean, a lot of minuses. A lot of minuses. A lot of minuses. There's a lot of crazy people out there. There's a lot of legitimately schizophrenic insane people, aggressive people, sad people, like abused people, people that came from terrible childhoods, people that came from, you know, every stretch of the world. And they're all...
2:57:30All they have to do is learn English. And they're just interfacing with you. And they get the worst role of dice that's available on planet Earth. Yeah. And now, you know, they've killed three people by the time they're 15. You know? And then they're online. Yeah. And that's real too. Yeah. I mean, it's... That's the thing. You get into this for acceptance, right? You get into stand -up, because you like... You want to... Maybe... I don't know. In your mind, you're like, this wasn't able to be said in my household. So now, in my mind, I'm telling the truth on stage. I'm being funny. I'm making strangers laugh.
2:58:03And you're doing this for acceptance. There was rejection before this. Now, it's like the amount of people who could flood your fucking timeline when you make a misstep. Right. It can be overwhelming. I mean, I think of that guy John Ronson all the time, right? So you've been publicly sharing guy. I mean, people know... You should know what you do when you try to fucking destroy a person. But it is exciting. A lot of people, what they use social media for, is to complain and then to try to... bury a person. Mm -hmm. Yeah. And it's fucking weird. It's just a dumb thing to do. And I think the best thing to do, if you're like a public person, like yourself, is just like, never engage in that.
2:58:42And also, don't read the comments. Yeah. That's my advice. My advice is always, never engage. Don't read the comments. If you want to post something, you feel something about something. You want to say something about something that's fine. But don't be upset about people's response to it. Exactly. It's part of the game. We put ourselves out there. But it's also... I mean, you have to fucking whether they're throwing fastballs. You have to run across the pitcher and get hit in the head. You don't have to actually go out out of the field. Like, it is part of the game. But you don't have to do that part.
2:59:08That part is not necessary. It's also not good. It's not smart. It's not a good allocation of resources. It's not a good psychological. Right. It's not good for the fans either. Because if you actually... What if they're just having a bad day, man? And they're fucking 18. They lash out. It's Sam. You know, or the lash out at Norman, or the lash out at Ari. They're not really bad people. But they're writing something and it's permanent. It's out there forever. And they've said some rude shit and they're trying to get a response. And then you come back with the most scathing response. And these show pictures of their mom and them.
2:59:41And they're fat belly. And you shit all over them online. Yeah. This is going far though. Right. But we've all known people who have done that, right? And it's just not wise. It's not good. I've done it before. I've experienced that thing of like fuck you. You don't fuck you or fuck a loser. No benefit. No benefit. The last message Bob Sagitt ever sent me. I engage with a fucking psycho and he goes, hey, it's Uncle Bob here. You're too good a guy to be doing this and not a good... All right, P -Bob. Sweet guy. He is a very sweet guy. He's a hard one. He was a hard one. I didn't know him well. We were just becoming friends when he passed away.
3:00:15I became friends with him at the store. Yeah. This is such a sweet guy. He's always a nice guy. Always a nice guy. Always like real. Like genuinely warm. Like you come around everybody. We need that. Yeah. People who bring positive energy to work are fucking so important. I've never met anybody who didn't like Sagitt. Yeah. He's always nice. You know? There's like a few guys where I don't know anybody doesn't like him. Got it. There's something. Bobby Lee is one of those. Yeah. You don't like Bobby Lee. I don't like you. Bobby is. I don't like you if you don't like Bobby Lee. Is this fit safe to say?
3:00:46He's maybe the best podcast guest ever. It's amazing. It's insane. The energy he brings. He's so funny. I've known Bobby for 30 years. Damn. I've known him long, but I love him. Close to it. It's probably close to 30 years. I brought a friend of mine when he did our podcast. He's an Asian guy. He's so live with. And he like worships Bobby. And Bobby just fuck with him the whole day. And it was my friend Dory. It was so satisfying for him. He's like, Bobby's like, stop talking to me. Fuck you. And he was like, he was like, that was like the best day of my life. He's such a good guy, too, because he's like so honest about all of his like weirdness.
3:01:19His flaws and like, you know how he thinks about himself. And so vulnerable. Yeah, I love him. He sounds very funny, man. And he's getting ready to do a special final. I actually, I think it was when he was on your podcast. I text him. I was like, you better put out a fucking special, dude. And he goes, yeah, why? And I said, you know why? Because you're fucking hilarious. And because you deserve it. You deserve to release something. And a move on into something a little bit. He's a much better comic than people know in terms of like the amount of tickets he sells. Bobby Lee should be doing arenas.
3:01:53He just did an arena with Bert and Tom. He just did the MGM. Yeah, but it's because he's not releasing it. So now that he's releasing it. That's all it is. Yeah, it's like his level's very high. There's a few of those guys out there. Their level's very, very high. They just don't have a lot of stuff out there. He's told me he's scared to eat the shit to build a new hour. And let me tell you, like, I'm thinking when I burn this next one, I am dreading the shit out of this. Like I hate starting from scratch. Yeah, man. Just gotta embrace it. That's the suck. It's fun. Get in there. Get in there.
3:02:21It's jumping in a cold ass pool. Yeah. I fucking hate it. But I got to jump in the pool. Yeah. Do it every day. Yeah. Yeah. Just just embrace the suck. That's all it is. There's a few of those guys out there that just they just need a little gentle nudge to get into the water. And then Bobby Lee will have a new hour and no time. Because he'll have to. And it'll be better than his hour before because it'll be more representative of how he feels about things right now. And his life is interesting. Yeah. He's fascinating. And he's too self -loathing. I'm sorry, Bobby. You got to love yourself a little more because he's loved that guy.
3:02:55He is loved, but he needs friends around him. And the problem with a lot of us is that we can become islands. I always describe comedians as islands or tribe members. And there's a few of those islands out there that like only have like one opening act they take with them. They only do theaters and they travel around. And every now and then they get to be around comics like us. Okay. So let's look at the club. You know, it's weird. There's a few of those guys. I don't want to name names. But there's a few of those guys. I don't think it's healthy. I don't think it's a healthy existence. That's literally why I'm still calling it the seller because I just want to see the people.
3:03:25And I love Liz, the manager. And I love. I can't wait to show you the club. I can't wait to take you to the club. I can't wait to do it. Because we set it up as best we could to facilitate all that. To make it so that it's like the best environment for comics to hang. The best environment for comics to work. Everything's set up. The staff is magnificent. I've heard it's cool as far. It's great stuff. It's great, man. It's amazing. But it's also entirely set up for the comics. And entirely. There's not one decision that ever gets made that's to the detriment of the show or the comics feelings. Most comedy clubs that were made by a comic are often like a comic who quit and has got some bitterness.
3:04:02And you're not that guy. So you made it the right way. Whatever. Well, you know, the best aspects of the store were beautiful. And there's so much to the store that the mother ship will never be able to have because the store had this history. There's the same history and this legacy to it of Kinnison and prior. And Hicks started there. Hicks was a doorman there. There was so many great, great, great, great comics that came out of that place. And so there was, it's now, you know, there's a reason why I have her on my wall. The reason why. Why we named the bar Mitzies. It's like, so we took her philosophy and we just threw a Spotify budget at it.
3:04:40I love it. Let's go, hey, I'm, let's do something good for the community of comedy and create what Louie calls it, the Alamo. I love it. Yeah, I said, yeah, it's like, that's the thought behind it. It's like, let's do it. Like, if I can do this and like, I can do this and I don't feel any pressure, it doesn't bother me at all. I mean, I feel pressure like with like, staff stuff and shits. This is happening. It's not wrong with the AC unit. There's a little bit of that every now and then. But it's not bad. But it's not financial pressure, which is the most intolerable pressure when you don't think you can pay your bills.
3:05:15You're worried. Especially if you're a father. You're like, shit. So if that pressure is alleviated, then you can do something that you really want to do. And I'm like, I want to really do it like, like, fucking Disneyland for comics. I want to set it up so that it's the best environment ever for people to be able to develop and create. And even people starting out, like, the dormant, the door people, the door women, they're all auditioned by EGIT. So EGIT, he auditions them. He sees their act. So they're all comics. He cares. Yeah. They get to see Shane Gillis go up. You know, they get to see Howie Mandel stop by and Jim Gaffigan stop by and David Tell do sets.
3:05:55And this shows that I'm doing on like Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. It's fucking Ron Whites on there. Brian Simpson. It's crazy. Tony Hingecliff. I mean, these are murderous shows. They're murderous shows. That's awesome. And so these people get to see how we're writing and how we're coming up with new shit and how we change things up. And it's like this, you get an education that we got at the store. We all got that at the store from watching, you know, the guys who were there before us. You know, the big names when I was 27 and I first came to the store and I'd see Damon Wands go up and Eddie Griffin go up.
3:06:27Beast, right? What was Wands in his promise killer? Beast, underappreciated man. The last stand, Damon Wands is HBO special. That's when he went into the crowd, right? It's when he threw the mic down. He says he's quitting. That guy is a real professional in the sense of that he films every one of his shows. He has since the 90s. He sets up his own video camera on a tripod and he films every one of his shows. Workout shows. Any show. And he is not scared of silence. I used to watch him go up and I was a kid. First of all, I was a fan of his from In Living Color. I was a fan of his stand -up. I'd seen him on the Robert Townsend thing.
3:07:08Remember Robert Townsend had those stand -up shows? A hilarious guy. So I was a fan of his already and then I got to see him work out. I got the store in front of me. 130, 50 people. You know, small ass O .R. crowds. And he just didn't give a fuck. He just will find a bit. He would find where it is. He'd search around for it. Didn't worry at all about the dead spots. Didn't worry at all. He was like, that's my workout room. When a comic has earned that, it's a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful thing. But it's also the store was low pressure back then. The way you were describing the seller, where you're going on after murders, it's very difficult.
3:07:44Even the young comics there are so good. There's young comics. There's a young comic named Maddie Weiner. She's so funny. There's young Daniel Simons and so funny. All these comics. They're like hungry. They're just murderers. And so then you're following them with your new shit. And you're like, all right. Yeah. So I was on a flight coming back here and they're like, what are you doing? They can sniff the new on you. So I do most of my work on the, what I like to do is like an hour of good jokes. And then I'm like, all right guys, now I'm doing 10 minutes of brand new shit. Oh, you do it at the end?
3:08:15I'll preface it. Yeah. I like to just say here's my, because sometimes I get the confidence to just work it in. Yeah. If it's killing. You're already killing. Yeah. So I get the confidence. And then I'll just, I'm molded in once it's, once I get that confidence and it's hitting. Right. But yeah, man, the seller is tough. I remember starting there like the guys who were really murdering, you know, obviously when Rock would drop in or like Louie or Colin Quinn and David Tell were kind of the godfathers of the seller. They were, you know, always had new shit. They were always interesting. Colin Quinn's another guy.
3:08:47Criminally under -appreciated. He really is. And I don't know why. Cause this shit is, I think it's so universal. The history stuff and the New York story. I mean, I love Colin's stuff. When he was at the club, all the door guys were like, dude, he was like an education. He's so good. And he's a great guy. He's a great guy. And he's honest as hell. Yeah. Well, that's the same with the tell. Like sweetheart guys. Cause they don't have any excess energy that's being like distracted into nonsense and bullshit. And that's a big factor. I learned so much from Mattel. Cause I used to open for him. And he's like just the best guy and like supportive.
3:09:18And I remember a lot of diners leaving him. Like, you know, we leave a diner at like 4 a .m. And he orders a nice coffee large. And I'm like, Dave, what are you doing? Are you just, do you never sleep? Like he really is. I'm like, you are this fucking dude. He functions on coffee and cigarettes. And when he was doing that show, Insomnia. Incredible shit. Oh my god. That's how it was a great show. And he was like... It was like rugged board day. By the way, Skanks for the Memories is still one of my all -time favorite. I think it's number one. CDs. I think it's the best album ever. It's a great album, man.
3:09:49It's up there with some of the all -time greats. And he recorded that at the comedy works in Denver, which is one of the all -time greats. Legendary. Legendary room. Javoldo did his last. Or his first one there, I think. Did I tell you? Didn't you do a special there? Mm -hmm. Yeah. 2014 did comedy central special there. Nice. I had the most bizarre moment. I went to see Willy Wonka in the chocolate factory with my kids. The new one? Yeah, it's really good. I take a leak. I'm leaving the bathroom. And I run into this dude. And for two seconds, I think it's Greg Javoldo. He looks exactly like Greg Javoldo.
3:10:28He's just taller. He's like 6162, but he's Greg Javoldo. And I go, what's up? The guy goes, what's up to me? Because it was me. He's like, oh, it's Joe Rogan. And I'm like, hey! And I go, oh, my God, Greg's dead. That's not Greg. So it had to like - Wow. What a mind fuck that is. A mind fuck, dude. Because in my mind, for a half a second, I thought I saw my friend. That's brutal. For half a second. My friend has been dead for half a second. And he recognizes you. It's crazy. It was crazy. His son is doing stand -up Greg Javoldo, Jr. Well, I know. I didn't know him. And he's funny. Really? He's a New York guy.
3:11:08And he was a waiter at the seller for like a summer job. Oh, Shane told me about this guy. So he asked me to a show. And I was like, I'll do your show. And he put himself on before me. And I watched him. I was like, thank God you're fucking funny. Yeah, right? Thank God, but he is. And he's got - He looks like him. And he's got the mannerisms. Well, Javoldo was like revered by us. But he's not so funny. I mean, not so known that it puts pressure. He's very funny, obviously. But not so known that he puts pressure on his son. To other people. I don't know. Yeah.
3:11:44Like Chris Rock's kid. Like Chris Rock's kid does stand up like holy shit. Right? Yeah. But Javoldo and I did sitcoms on the same lot. Wow. Yeah. So when I was doing, I think it was News Radio. I think it was News Radio. When I was doing News Radio, I was right next door to him. So we would hang out together. Like we were both guys from New York. We both knew each other from Boston comedy. We both knew each other from the clubs in New York. And you know, we were like, dude, can't believe we're here. He's just crazy. He had his own show. He had a show. The lawyer one. Yeah, lawyer show. Because he was a lawyer.
3:12:20Like that was the thing back then. Like you would sell whatever you were. I'm really in a tool. So I could like the fucking, they would make a sitcom around you. Yeah. And that's like that was there. That was the thing that they would do. Yeah. Domestic goddess. Roseanne. Bam. Make a show about you. You were basically, when you were on stage back then, you are auditioning for a sitcom about yourself. And people got giant deals, man. They got crazy deals. We used to hear about the Montjot just for last Montfuel Fest. So like, did you get a holding deal? I'm like, I got an agent. Yeah. That's going to do.
3:12:55It was like a million dollar deal. Not that much. But you get hundreds of thousands. Yeah. I didn't do another show after News Radio. For like two years. And I made more money than I did when I was on News Radio. Why? I was just getting development deals. Wow. Development deals were crazy money. They were trying to. Yeah. Because after News Radio, like, I could, it was like proven that I can act in a sitcom. Yeah. But could I run a, could I be the star of a sitcom? So I had a bunch of development deals to star in a sitcom. And I got to experience that world, which is a very bizarre world. But I didn't like it.
3:13:31I didn't like the dealing with all the meetings and all the things. So when Fear Factor came along, I was like, hold on. No actors? No writers at all. Like, what do I have to do? I'm the show. And also, this is an opportunity for material, because this is going to get canceled. And I'm going to have a giant bit about this fucking stupid show where they sick dogs on people and made a meat dicks. And they show that canceled. And then it goes on forever. It goes on for six years. And it's 148 episodes. It was so nuts. Wow. But I specifically did it, because I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to do the fucking.
3:14:02The grind of what it means. I don't know. Actors do it. I mean, just the waiting around, the waiting for your phone or ring. Well, it's better than working in a coal mine. Of course. But I mean, I just mean psychologically. Of course, if you can make a living at it, that's incredible. Also, you're dealing with people that are psychologically damaged already, most likely, which is why they need exorbitant amounts of attention, which is why they want to be the fucking the star in this new Laura Croft movie. This is a normal thing. Like for psychos. Like you got ignored by your dad. And then all of a sudden, you're in this fucking crazy movie.
3:14:39I'll show you, Pop. And guess what? I ain't going to fucking fill the void. It never does. You think it will, but it... You got to fill that void on your own. Exactly. But I do think that it's possible for someone, because I definitely think that I came into comedy with a neediness. I just was just trying to show that I was worthy of something. And then eventually, you get confident and then you realize, like, well, it's not like this can't be turned in a different direction. And then my obsession could now be in getting better at this art, and getting better at this thing that I love, this thing that I enjoy.
3:15:13That's like a really good exchange between audience members and comic. It's a really good exchange. I particularly like it as a fan. I really love watching comedy still to this day. All these years of doing it. So I know it's a good experience. Do you still watch specials? Yeah, I'll do occasionally. If I'm home and I have time, I just don't have any time. My time is really kind of strictly allocated. And when I need to shut my brain off, I don't watch specials. I watch nonsense. I either watch professional pool matches or watch videos on muscle cars. That's what I watch. Stupid shit. I do it on purpose.
3:15:51I was watching Reacher last night. I'm like, I need shit like this. Yes! I need a dude who just beats dudes up. You can't lose. He can't lose. He's going to fuck you up. I love that guy. Yeah. Well, he's a real Reacher, too. If you read the book, that's what Reacher was supposed to be. It wasn't Tom Cruise. It wasn't Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise was ridiculous. Yeah, but you got to take the A -list guy and I get it. You're talking Charlie's. You're taking the A -list, too. Yeah, after. But he's supposed to be a giant. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. That doesn't make any sense. The guy who plays Reacher now, who's that guy?
3:16:17Alan Richson. That guy's Reacher. He's jacked. Perfect. Perfect guy for that. Perfect guy. Right, and you believe him when he's spouting all smart shit? I don't know who's still talking shit, too. Every episode, if someone's talking shit, I'm like, have you looked at him? But that's reality, dude. Yeah. I've seen people talk shit to some of the most scary fucking human beings. He's a big resisted. He's a fucking... That's a... And he's likable. He's a likable guy on the ship. Yeah, he's a gigantic. Look at the size of him. He's like 6 '5", too. He's huge. He's huge. That's what Jack Reacher was in the novels.
3:16:44Yeah. And then Tom Cruise will be a Reacher. He's fucking 5 '8", or whatever he is. Tom, you're Napoleon. I'm not fucking Tom Cruise. But he's a bad... Tom Cruise is... I gotta say though, the first Reacher movie is pretty cool with Tom Cruise. He's good, isn't it? It's just like it's not the same as the book. If you can just get past that, and this guy's just an assassin. Like the Grey Man, you know, the Grey Man series. Which one's the Grey Man? Which one's the Grey Man? The Grey Man. Was it Ryan Gosling? Did I fuck that up? I get it right. I get it right. Which one's the Grey Man's? It's...
3:17:12Well, they made a movie for Netflix. But the book, these Mark Greenie books, are wild. They're good? They're wild books. Yeah, that's one of my favorite kind of books for like complete escapism. Oh, yeah. It's about a CIA assassin. And he's the best. They call him the Grey Man. This is the movie. The movie is... Oh, Chris Evans, I heard of this. Yeah. The movie's okay. They fucking Hollywood it up. But the books are incredible. And the audio books are really good. And it's... But that guy was like 170 pounds. He's just a killer. He's not fucking everybody up. Like, you know, a bar fight. Like, no, it's a different kind of guy.
3:17:50This is a guy who knows how to be an assassin. But it's a realistic... Especially if you read the book. Realistic depiction, as far as you can take it, if a guy always wins. Yeah. You know, but it's... Those are fun, though. Those are like escapists. Like a Michael Connelly or something. It's just like cool, badass. We're trapped in this guy's world. This guy's trying to make it through fucking Eastern block countries with a cache of weapons. It's fine. It was a patient. Yeah. They're wild. And a lot of it has to deal with stories that are like actually connected to covert operations that happen overseas.
3:18:23I don't know how these really are people that are assassins for the CIA that they have to send to these countries. Even the books, though, and you see these similar authors and they have like 45 books. I know. How the fuck did you do that? I know. I think my heart is to write one book. I think Mark Greeney has... I think he's got six or seven gray man books. It's crazy. Yeah. How many gray man books are there? There might be... This guy called Cobain. I sort of got this guy's got like 45 books in Barnes and Noble. How about Stephen King? It's in... How is his father doing it? That motherfucker has been cranking them out.
3:18:53Yeah. It's called cocaine and alcohol. That's what he has. But he's going to have a gray, though. Doesn't he? I mean, he must have people. Yeah. Chinese kids. No. Stephen King and I phoned to fucking bang him out. I hate to encourage alcoholism and drug abuse. But that's when he did his best work. Yeah. If you go and read the shining, he was black out drunk. Yeah. Mark Greeney. Book 13. That's crazy. The chaos agent. This is a new book that just came out. Dude. I'm going to take these up. Yeah, I'm going to try it. They're great in audio, too. The audio book is really good. But if you like to read, they're really good.
3:19:23Yeah. It's just like, for like... Take me away. This is like a modern age -age bond type dude. Yeah. It's fucking nonsense. Well, a flight. You're on a flight. I don't want to read anything about climate change. I don't want to freak out about the economy. I don't want to read about the world. I'm going to disappear. The Rockefellers. I don't want to hear about it. Yeah. Military industrial complex. Stop. No. You need an escape. Stop. What's really going on in Antarctica? I don't want to know. I don't have time. We're going to be dead soon anyway. Let's just enjoy the ride. Yeah. For sure. I mean, realistically, if this is all true, if you're not living in a simulation.
3:20:01But I'm not convinced anymore. I don't know. I'm not convinced. If I was living in a simulation and I was living in a simulation that was created just 100 years from now, I don't think I'm capable of discerning. I can barely tell a deep fake now. Somebody sends me a deep fake. There's one deep fake that's been overwhelming my Instagram feed. And I do not understand how Instagram can't stop this. But it's a deep fake with Warren Buffett talking about investing in Bitcoin. Oh, my God. I think a dangerous one. Let me show you it. Let me show you because there's so many of them. There's so many of them.
3:20:37It's fucking insane. There's so many of them that I every time I go to Instagram, I see them. See that all one that says the giveaway with the girl's face? Yeah. That's all a deep fake. Oh, my God. Yeah. And how does this not get somehow another flagged? Because if you just say the word Nazi, you get flagged off of YouTube, right? I mean, I don't know TikTok YouTube. Whatever it is. They're clamping down for sure. Like what you were just saying earlier. Yeah. So how do they not flag this down? I'm gonna send it to you right now, Jamie. It's a more obvious flag if there's a trigger word as opposed to just a fake video.
3:21:16These accounts appear to be operating in a coordinated network as they mass upload the same crypto videos under obscure hashtags. See the one that I sent you, Jamie, because this one in particular, this one just overwhelms my feed. I see it constantly. And the one that I just sent you, it's like, I just don't understand how you can't stop that. It looks almost like that one in the picture I just showed. But it's a different image on the first image when you click on it. I keep seeing it. This thing is like, you know, you just keep seeing the same image over and over again. And you know, that's it.
3:21:50This Bitcoin thing. So give me some volume on this so I can hear it. So this is fake. Yeah. 100%. So you get, can you refresh it? Yeah.
3:22:02It's about $12 ,000. I promise to give away my fortune. And I'm doing it. I miss the opportunity that will change your life.
3:22:14So it's a Bitcoin. Warren Buffett. Can you tell us about your spontaneous decisions lately? Yes, of course. I am launching a Bitcoin giveaway. Take part. If you want to change your future, go to the website, www .howedge .com. Enter promo code gift. And enjoy your prize of zero point. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. So there's like, I don't know how many accounts that are uploading that same thing over. So easy to do. And over and over. Yeah. If you, there's a certain percentage of this country that has an IQ of 85 and under. Right. What did we say it was? Was it 16 %? Yeah. Standard deviation or whatever. 16%.
3:22:50That have no chance. That have no chance. It's Bushwick Bill versus Mike Tyson. There's no chance. The world is too cruel. It's too difficult to navigate. They're not going to make it. They're going to drown. So with those people, they might have a job or they might have a social service money. They might have some way that they can invest in Bitcoin. And I'm going to make my way out of this mess. And this guy's a moron. He can't help himself. He's got a nine watt brain. And it's never going to change. It's never going to get stronger. Genetically, he's fucked. It's supposed to be a ditch digger.
3:23:22And then they get him. That's going to get $50 from that guy. And $100 from this guy. A thousand bucks from that guy. And $5 ,000 from this moron. How did they get away with it, though? Isn't there a way to track this? I think they just do it from other countries. And they do it with so many different accounts. And they do it to a separate website. It's another video. It's another stuff on it. That's the same exact video, same exact audio. Look at this. But it says Warren Buffett has decided to whiten his reputation. By just giving money away at the end of his life. It may sound fun, but don't lose the fucking opportunity.
3:23:54Oh, look at that. So that's like the trick in you to getting mad at him for being rich. And it's a different website. So there's probably thousands of these websites. And they're probably all the money goes into the same account. Holy shit. And they're probably extracting. Who knows how much money from how many morons? It's also, I remember hearing this recent, not how recently this was. But a couple of years ago that as the rest of the world has been coming online and getting access to broadband internet and faster and faster. Like we've had for like the last 15, 20 years. All the scams that we've been having happen to us are now happening in mass to them.
3:24:26Like the Nigerian Prince game, if you will. That's like the most famous one. Someone reaching out. Another using deep face to do that. But it's happening to the people that just got the internet. They'll get people for a while. Oh, yeah, forever. Yeah. They're getting us today. Yeah. People are always getting got by these fucking stupid things. There's always something that comes along. Whether it's, you know, fucking the crypto guys from the Bahamas, FTC. I mean, how many people do they get? They got like very intelligent people. Yeah. You look at people who are just catfish and I'm like, you're just doing it for the love of the game.
3:25:01Catfish and it's still just a fucking weird one. That's a sport. That's a sport. Yeah, that's like catch and release fishing. Yeah. You don't get anything out of it. You just like, you just love it. You just love to dop someone. Yeah. You love to dop some sad kid from Syracuse. Or some fucking horny athlete. Wow. Yeah. What's his name? Fucking, that was a great Netflix thing. Man, they tell you how do you see that shit? Oh, I heard about that one. Man, they get him. Just like a sweet kid too. There's some woman who was like, wouldn't meet him. But he's like a college athlete. He's too busy anyway and then, you know, you got to meet the person though.
3:25:36I think something happens when people connect with people online where you develop this like very bizarre attraction to them because you don't really know them yet in person. And you're communicating back and forth. And you're both putting forth your best face. And if you're a young athlete who's like a football player and a lady saying all the right things. Untold. Yeah. Like, she's like, yeah, he didn't know. I mean, he's like a sweet kid too. And by the way, like, there's a Netflix thing on him and you're like, he comes out looking great and the guy who can't fish and you're like, this is a psychopath.
3:26:10No more. For sure. The idea is that you're allowed to do that to a person and you don't even know because that person's famous. Like, you're allowed to destroy their life and do something horrible to them just because they're famous. That's crazy. But also, you also have to deal with like, why couldn't he see that comment? Why couldn't he recognize? And then you have to take into account. He's a kid. Yeah, and he's a football player. Okay. You know, you're colliding heads with people all the time. Yeah. All the time. All the time. You know. It's not healthy. Football is... Football is probably the most dangerous sport there is.
3:26:45I mean, when you look at like the blackouts in the CTE, like what offensive lineman have to deal with, I think it's probably the most vicious sport we have. I didn't explain Shane Gillis. I do. I'm not kidding. I think that explained Kinnison. Did he play football? No, he got hit in the head by a car. That's right. Yeah. So did Rose Ann. There was a media on Kiltoni a lot. Recently that he was, he was funny. He's new. He's a young guy from Austin, but he was telling a story recently over a pandemic. He fell off of a balcony and land on his head, broke his face, all his teeth are fake. And it's like, I was like listening to them.
3:27:20Like, oh, this isn't going to be another guy. It's probably going to be hilarious, comedian, but life probably changed because of a head injury. Well, it's not guaranteed. You're going to be funny. No, no, no. I'm not recommending you hit by a car. I'm not saying. No, he didn't do it on purpose. This is in Spider -Man. You've got to fucking up. You just try. You're trying to nail it. You're like, let me just fucking hit my head proper. No, that's not how I said it. That's not how I meant it. Yeah. You're either going to be a fucking, you're either going to be mentally challenged or you're going to be fucking a pretty solid open micro.
3:27:47Yeah. We'll see. I think I attribute some of my success to brain damage. Yeah. That's probably something now. Do you take a lot of hits? Yeah, for sure. But it's enough that I'm cognizant. I'm going to wear, but I also have like a level of don't give a fuck. That's probably not healthy. It might be healthy. But it needs to be managed all the time with strenuous exercise and voluntary difficult things like cold plunge and sauna. I need to do stuff. I need to like... You need to be active. You need to... You're a doer. I need to force this brain into violent activities on a regular basis. If I can keep it in check.
3:28:22But I think there's a certain amount of brain damage that's not bad. It's just a touch. Just a touch of autism. Touch of brain damage. I think you made comics healthier. That's good. I think you did. You made me want to be healthier. That's good. When I was your last time and I was like, yeah, I got to take care of myself. Holy shit. You were so nice about that. That was like, yeah, I should fucking... I should watch this a little bit. You got to think of your body as your vehicle. And if you have like a Nissan GTR. You could take a GTR and you could put a fucking big ass turbo in it and make 900 horsepower.
3:28:57Why wouldn't you do that? Wouldn't it be better if it works better? It's faster. Like some strip mall on TV andapolis. That's why. Yeah, but still, you want energy. No, you're right. The energy of your mind is directly connected to the energy of your body. And we want to pretend that it's not because there was like a time of intellectual snobbery where taking care of your body was thought as vain and stupid. It's a morons approach. No, you really... You made people healthier, I think. And in a way where you're like, no, this is smart. This is... Yeah, I'm pushing 60. I'm 56 years old. You don't look at it.
3:29:30I mean, but that's possible. I just hope that I'm not doing anything crazy that other people can't do too. You could do it. You just have to be on top of it. And you have to not let your body degrade. Because once your body degrades, building your body up is very, very, very, very, very hard. But maintaining your body is not as hard. Yeah. You just have to be like really dedicated to it. The same way you're dedicated to brushing your teeth. Same way you're dedicated to eating food. Don't you eat food every day? Yeah. Yes. Well, that's because you have to, right? Stay alive. You also have to exercise.
3:29:57You should exercise minimum five days a week, I think. I think that's smart. I mean, look, when we were on the road, we did a tour bus last year, a few times. And like, we'd be out 14 days or whatever at a time. Every day we would wake up in a new city. We'd hit a rec center. Beautiful. We'd play basketball. Nice. We'd do whatever. We'd steam. Yeah. We'd get breakfast. A big way to start the day. Great way to start the day. And we drink at night. But guess what? We sweat at the fuck out. Yeah. Take some electrolytes. Get some liquid IV. Pound it. Pound some vitamins. It's gluten -dion. Yeah. You can mitigate it.
3:30:26And you can also give your body more of a chance to be robust while you're traveling. And avoid sickness. And avoid fatigue. And all the shit that fucks with bad shows. When you have that feeling backstage, you feel like shit. And then you gotta go on stage. I hate it. That's a terrible feeling. Two shows. I mean, back in the day, three shows. Remember the three show nights? Oh my god. The three show nights are so squarely for me because I'm a marijuana proponent. And I would often forget that I bring this up already. This is the third show. Is this the second show? Silver show is fucking hard.
3:30:56Silver show is fucking hard. But if you're high. And then when you lock in. Like when you lock in and you're doing stand up, you're just in it. Right? You're in those bits. But then if you're free bond, which often you're likely to do if you're doing three shows, you want to make it interesting. So you mix up the order. And you're like, oh my god, I don't know where I'm going with this. Well, you find new bits. Yes. And also I would do, like, start with coffee and with booze. Like ride the caffeine today. Exactly. But I'm doing something long. I want to I want to feel both highs and I want to feel good.
3:31:24That's going to enjoy myself. That's why I'm terrified of Adderall. I'm terrified of any stimulants. Stimulants scare the shit out of me. They work. Yeah. I used to take it all the time in Holy shit. I might have to when I had to start writing a new fucking hour. I like them. Are they good for creativity? I love it. Because I block out of it. I just focus. Like I'm. I already have like voices in my head. So like when I kind of voices. Just like joke idea, joke idea. Like, you know, so when I'm writing. I can't. It's too much and I can't write. But if I pop an Adderall, I can like focus on. I read an article.
3:31:54I'm like, what's funny about this? That'll like warm me up. Listen to my set. I'm going to I'm going to struggle to write a new fucking hour. What's the what's the dose? I don't remember. It's. I got to get new ones actually. Oh my. You get a prescription. I do. That's good. Yeah. You don't want to get it from the cartel. I don't want that shit. I know people who do. I know people get street drugs. They take a street molly. Like, what are you doing now? I need to get that. I haven't had it in a while because I've been kind of honing this hour. But when I need a new hour. Fucked. I'm just dreading it.
3:32:24Starting at zero, dude. Yeah, but you always do it. You always do it. But it's always. It's a wonderful terrifying feeling because you have to be a rookie all over again. Like people know you. Well, they love you. They're fans. They come to see you and you're a rookie. It's crazy to suck again. I'm like, man. And it's also because you're coming up the high of murdering because your last hour is like you're peak. This is as good as I get. And then it's gone and you're like, I'm shit. I'm fucking shit. That's the game we play, my friend. But I love it. Yeah. It's beautiful. So you're going to film your thing in March.
3:32:55Yeah. Right. And then it'll come out around May. Hopefully we'll see. We'll see what we'll come back. We'll promote it there. I would love that. Thank you. 100%. You're awesome, dude. Thank you very much. Appreciate you, brother. All right. Social media website. Yeah. And I got, I'm doing a new thing called punchup .live. Slash. Sam Morrell, my name. And that's like a mailing list that I've been doing. I've been putting, like, news shit. Spend up for people. So they don't fuck it up. Punchup .live. Slash. S -A -M -M -O -R -R -I -L. And it's like a place where I just put new shit that's like, that you two will flag.
3:33:25So like, I'll put like a more offensive joke there. Sometimes I'll do whatever. But it's like a fun place. And in exchange, just give me your email so I can blast when I come to your city. Beautiful. That's a good move. That's very smart. It's very smart. All right. And then all the tour dates are up there. Yeah. I'm in Irvine. I don't know. It's called Irvine XP. We added shows. Salt Lake City Wise, guys. Another awesome club. I'll probably add a late Thursday there too. In Provin Irvine. Awesome fucking club. Love it. We added a 330 there. That was like a game. I've never been in a brick town in Oklahoma.
3:33:52So I guess it's great. Yeah. I love it. Yeah. This is like a really good network of solid clubs. I don't only do really good rooms at this. Thank God I'm at a place right now where I can only kind of choose a good ones. But yeah, then Wilbur is going to be Wilbur's fucking awesome. Wilbur's like three comedy clubs like in front of each other. Because he's so shallow but stacked. That's a great room. All right. Sam, I appreciate the brother. Thank you. All right, bye everybody.
