Joe Rogan podcast check it out The Joe Rogan Experience Train by day Joe Rogan podcast by night all day my man how are you good to see you brother good to be back thank you for having me I miss you too I used to get to see you every week I thought about that the other day like yeah you forget that that that's like a period of time and it's not going to be forever sometimes you know yeah well it almost was you were the one of the first people to take the trip out here it was it was clear as day when I first came out I'm like why wouldn't you be out here cuz I remember I had this writing job right and so I was just like on Zoom every day and life kind of sucked cuz you couldn't go out so I was just trapped in my house right and then in between a lunch break I'm on Instagram and I see Tony you know Tony H post he's this is like in the infancy of him him coming out here you know he's like sold out antons you know what I mean it seemed like this Bizarro Universe where like life is still happening and I love standup so much mhm and I was just kind of miserable and I'm like if this is happening out there I can do standups so then I started asking questions I hit up the EPS I'm like yo because we're on Zoom could I could I just write from Austin just zoom by day and then do standup out here with like all you guys at night and they're like we don't see why not so it was awesome I got an apartment out here I would Zoom by day I would just be doing awesome shows at Vulcan and stuff at night it was it felt like a life hack it was a life hack yeah it was it was great I'm so glad I did that have you been to the Mother Ship yet of course dude yeah it's amazing I got to do um I think you were on vacation then Adam had me do where you normally do in the middle of the week oh yeah the Tuesday Wednesday Thursday so I got to do like six shows in that beautiful big room both rooms are great you know I like that small one for uh working on stuff it's kind of like the belly it's very much like the small room is like a combination of the belly and the O it's a little bit bigger than the belly room and a little more locked in in the belly room and then the big room is like combination of the O and the main room that's what I tell everybody cuz they go what's it like and it is it's like if
those rooms had babies like they're in they're in the middle of both those of all three of those rooms you know they're both perfect yeah they're the perfect size you know what's kind of funny I think the store has started to like get a facelift because of what you've done at Mothership cuz so many Comics would come back and be like yo they just give you all your sets you know what I mean the sounds amazing like cuz it's so state-ofthe-art well there's also the screens in The Green Room that shows you what's going on on stage and the time you can't miss your spot yeah you can't miss your spot and there's lights everywhere yeah so let you know there's lights in there's two sets of Lights in the hallway one in the beginning of the hallway one at the top of the stairs you always know when the guy's got the light yeah so I think and if you have any suggestions by the way just throw them out we'll use them okay half of the club is built on suggestions well you can tell you know um this I think it was Tony's idea to have the lights in the Green Room it might have been Tony's idea also to have the monitors in The Green Room it was Louis's idea to lower the ceiling it was Lou's idea to uh change the size of the stage in the little room and lower the ceiling in the little room too how big was the stage before Louis suggested the change it was like four feet more on each side too big yeah it was too big it was too big he was right yeah he's like why do you have all this extra stage you don't really it's an interent room like yeah you're right but it was just you know we just kind of like walk into this empty space when it was just a movie theater so when it was a movie theater it was we had to change everything right so we changed the way the stairs are so in the movie theater the stairs slant way down at a steep angle right so you could all watch the big screen um we raised the floor up so we had to build a concrete like a rebar and concrete floor so it's a totally different floor yeah it's crazy so we raised it up till and then Lou wanted me to lower the ceiling even more so I did that as well after the fact when it was all said and done no it wasn't all said and done we were in the middle of everything luckily we had we did have to recut the stage in the small room cuz we it was the the but
the concrete hadn't been poured yet so they just had to recut the steel and put it on but it's very interesting it's very interesting I've never been a part of building anything like that before yeah you could tell though because you're a standup of several years you could tell it was designed by a comedian it's all done with Comics yeah Comics input and also Richard the architect who was amazing shout out to Richard W he's the man he's he's the man he's so good I'll have him on the podcast someday he's a really interesting guy and he uh he also came up with the idea of making the tunnel oh the tunnel's awesome the tunnel's the [ __ ] yeah yeah it's such a cool hangout the whole thing is just such it's all just set up just for a hang uh you know just everybody feels good the most valuable asset to comedians especially nowadays is getting that footage dude the footage is Big yeah will'll film you and then also it's like really high quality yes it's 8K sounds great so I've been pushing for that at the store and I think they're starting to it's just it's just a process but you also have to put people's phones in bags so they pay attention people are so goddamn distracted me included it's so hard just sit there it's one of the things that I love about podcasts is that for 3 hours I'm not going to see what's going on in the world I'm locked in I don't have to think about other things and I'm really lucky I think it's a form of therapy in a weird way in this bizarre digitally sort of uh inter twined world you can't escape it I I can never Escape it it's so hard to get away from emails and text messages and just I cannot keep up I have 185 unanswered text messages are you good about clearing them or do you do you have all that red who who has time to clear I have to clear them I have this OCD thing where I need to have a clean I can't have red okay it's 183 183 unanswered T how how do I do that well you're a popular guy dude no no how do you keep up you can't you literally can't keep it's hard for you I I can keep up I can keep I'm always surprised like for how busy you are and like what a figure you are like how quickly you respond still you well thank you thank you but I have friends and people who are much lower than you in the pantheon of things
who takes so much longer well sometimes I do take long though if I'm out doing something there's there's times where I'll come home and there's 60 text messages and there's not a chance in hell that I can just bang all those out I just otherwise I'll go insane that's that's what I'm saying it's just like it's not that I have too many people contacting me it's not that's not what it is it's you find a [ __ ] excuse to use that thing oh the phon the phones you find EXC it's cool to be in contact with people it's fun I like that I love the text messages I have between friends sending each other memes talking [ __ ] it's fun silly it's silly fun it's it's a nice relief when Ari sends me a funny thing you know or says something funny it's a nice little relief the text thread you're in they're great you live for the text thread yes we got I got a few of those text threads going on between me and comics and it's the most fun thing man but it's just the [ __ ] phone runs your goddamn life dude it does and it's like it's made it so especially if you're a person who like if you're booking shows you have to you know you be in contact with your agent you have to be in contact with um the opening axe you got to you know it's a tool for everything I got I got to Doc sign something I have to edit a video I have to post it on Tik Tok I have to post it on Facebook I have to post it on it's literally a computer it's it's like work never ends you know what the most hilarious thing to me is when you have to sign things online like it's such [ __ ] it's an exercise and everyone bulling fake signature it's not even my real signature it's a fake signature like a docu sign yeah and you just agree that you're going to accept that as your signature you say okay and you click it and then it's your signature it's just Joe Rogan in text guess that's a signature there's one way around that it's um if you have uh like a Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra their new phone it uh it has a stylus that's built into the phone and you could use it to sign PDFs does somebody care enough to be buying that phone just to sign documents no but you can sign all kinds of stuff like you can write on it like a notepad it's really fascinating it's a very fast stand piece of TCH we're going back to Palm Pilot we've gone full
circle a little bit but it also allows you to take photographs so you could use it as a shutter so you could like stand across the room and take a photo of yourself or a video and you press that button and it starts recording and it's be like an old timey photographer just put a blanket over you do they still do that do they have like enthusiasts there some some kid in Silver Lake who's like yo pose everybody at some cool bar and he has the flash yo I used to get fascinated by this one dude who would make old timey wooden farm tools this guy would make like old timey uh what are those things planes he would make old timey planes and old timey like like right Brothers planes no no planes like you're planing wood he was like a wood shop guy but it was all handmade he made all of his tools who's the market for that me I watched that show I couldn't stop watching it is but like when he makes the tools is there a market to buy those or is it no sure I think it's novelty I I bet when at the time this was pre internet or maybe like the internet was just starting but this guy had a cool show and I used to watch it all the time I love when people love things that's what I figured out about me it doesn't even have to be something that I love but I love when people love things and that's when uh I really uh got into bouraine show cuz I was like godamn this dude loves food he loves cooking he loves Cuisine is that me or you that just D I think it's you I'm an airplane man I respect the format I usually do bro this i' be so bold follow on Instagram uh makes the photos that way with a truck he turned a whole truck into a a camera essentially oh that's cool and the process of it is crazy so like it can be a Miss sometimes because of how much work he's doing to set imagine trying to convince these women it's a camera and not some creepy oh yeah I'd beam are a psycho just come into the woods and pose for me so he turned his truck into a camera like he built his own camera and it like the whole thing is like the the dark room you know everything and then chem process it makes really photos like on Metal He's printing them right to metal kind most the photos we have is like a transfer to metal these are directly to metal is that how they first started
making photos did they put them on metal I don't think it was metal well plates yeah I think it would be plates nice returning that one didn't work so he's just throwing it hey dude don't Litter down come on it's I know you're mad that you're [ __ ] homemade camera doesn't work but better pick that up [ __ ] that's the beauty of YouTube you imagine that the guy just littered yeah you think that's not natural you can't litter in those places bro there's too many people visit think about how many people visit like national parks it like so important not litter no one's going in there cleaning up after you you [ __ ] animals don't do it don't litter and you're in the woods man my friend Adam Green Tree he goes on these uh big backpacking hunts where'll go he'll go into the like Montana mountains Colorado Mountains for like a month at a time and he's just picking up bags of people's [ __ ] that they left behind bags of empty water bottles bags of trash and he just brings a bag with them and he collects it while he's out there hunting he it's disgusting nice of him to do I'm sure there's tons of stuff out there it's so disturbing though that people do that it's it's the worst aspect of us this just total willingness through completely being selfish of just destroying one of the most amazing things we have in this country which is national parks in public lands and place where you could just walk out into the woods yeah there's tons of places in this country where you can just go in a hike in the [ __ ] woods with bears and moose and all kinds of [ __ ] you can just go out there man hopefully you know what you're doing but nobody really tests you nobody says Hey fem how long can you hike before you die let's find out hey fem did do you doing any cardio at all hey fem do you know how to use a compass hey fem do you guys have [ __ ] something to start fire with well that's when you make the local news and then there's a file photo of me and like the search has been gone for six days bro it's so hard to stay alive it's so hard I've never like stayed alive you know I'm obviously just talking out of my ass but I have uh been camping and one of the things that you realize when you go camping if you just go camping just a few nights in a row you realize like what [ __ ] [ __ ] people are these
animals they sleep on the ground every night they don't give a [ __ ] yeah they're out there wild there's no doors there's no borders and they have all these defense mechanisms they developed to protect them from predators because of that because there's no hiding every day is war if you're a [ __ ] deer every day is like listening for branches snapping yeah it's just life every day remember I was like I was snorkeling in Hawaii and you get to see all that marine life down there and I just saw the sea turtle so peaceful and then part of me was like he doesn't have to worry about rent or you he doesn't have to make money to exist which was like an interesting concept but he has so many other problems too he's got problems he's got problems but there's just something about like that being enough for this Turtle just kind of floating whereas like I got to get a job I got to go on tour I got to make money I have to have an apartment I have to you know what I mean all these things humans need to do to exist the turtle is a residual effect of evolution that's no longer necessary but we think they're beautiful I think they're beautiful man we think they're cool cool guys when see Turtle you're like hey bro this design is not going to survive man I can watch a turtle eat lettuce forever doesn't Stallone still have his turtle from Rocky whoa is it that old it's old man they live a long time God I had Turtles I had to get rid of them when I had babies cuz Turtles are dirty little creatures you don't want to have that stuff around but they were ruthless I would Fe them no I would feed them goldfish dude I had piranhas at one point in time of course you did that's like the most Joe Rogan pet uh they were not nearly as ruthless as these [ __ ] turtles yeah look at that Rocky still got the same Turtle 44 years old at least this was five years ago so turt looks great he looks 10 I'm sure they're not dead yet they think I bet they do because tortoises live like a thousand years don't they something I think sea turtles live a long [ __ ] time too which is like the saddest thing when you see people kill them and eat them you're like but how good though how how tasty if they're doing that you think so I think like shark fin soup you're like how good must it be uh aquatic turtles
will commonly live 20 to 30 years in captivity but many can live much longer tortoises are loan some estimated to live 100 to 150 years so it's not tortoises is it sea turtles that live forever who are the old ones so some of them can live up to 250 years what about uh sea turtles maybe it's sea turtles do you think there's like I think they're really old family that has a turtle it's been in the family for Generations like it's 249 years old wow that's a this is my great great grandfather's a solid question that'd be awesome I think there's sharks that are alive today that are the oldest living creatures I think there's sharks they estimated up to oh sorry go ahead 10 one a thousand years right one in 1,000 oh that's surviving I I was reading it wrong sorry it's too many words lifespan five 100 years but there's one Turtle there's some [ __ ] turtle that that they think it's really old it says estimate up to 500 years old okay here's one right here I don't know I mean they just look old no you know you never see a turtle in you're like this large Turtles that's what I'm talking about 500 years old that's [ __ ] Bonkers man that's like pre George Washington wrap your head around that you're a baby turtle you're just [ __ ] chilling all sudden these boats pull up and you're like this isn't going to be anything do you think some of these Turtles are not that Progressive because they're pretty old and they they're prob super conservative yeah yeah yeah they probably watch Fox News like women are wearing pants what is this I see an this wasn't happening when I when I came up yeah you ever see a um a there's a snapping turtle what what do they call them the really crazy looking ones it's like a dinosaur looking thing it's a type of snapping turtle but there's a like a gator snapping turtle I think maybe that's what what they call alligator snapping turtle it's crazy looking dude you can't even believe it's a real creature and these [ __ ] are picking him up and you're like bro if you [ __ ] up that thing's taking your hand it's t like literally taking your hand they're big yeah I wouldn't do that Jesus look at that [ __ ] mouth but there's some big ones look at that one on the look at the size of that one that's what I'm talking
about like that guy has that guy is out of his [ __ ] mind if that MW gets a hold of one of those fingers that [ __ ] is so gone you're trusting your grip look at that thing man you're trusting your grip nose [ __ ] pig [ __ ] all that that is a monster if that was big and storming into a village in Mongolia a thousand years ago in some crazy movie you'd be like oh my God you know some Lord of the Rings type movie yeah that would exactly be what it would look like and there' be guys with straps around that thing riding it oh yeah yeah right that's that's like those scenes in the movies where yeah where the heroes are are against wall but then the people writing these things come in from the side you go yeah bro we are so weak well just humans humans we're so weak it's what a amazing tradeoff though but we have bombs yeah we have guns we have everything we have houses we have cars we have so many different things we way made up for it but isn't it interesting that as you make up for it you have to give away your physical defenses we're the most vulnerable a good house cat could [ __ ] you up a house cat [ __ ] you up dude a rat for sure a rat the size of a house cat could [ __ ] you up you'd be so scared of that I saw this video you know you see videos on Twitter and stuff this guy in New York there's a pawsum just on the side of this building and then and then this this this white guy helps the neighborhood out he just grabs it off the wall and it's like and everyone's just thanking this guy and he just knows how to handle the Pome and he walks it down the street and he just like throws it into an alley yeah my dog Marshall likes possums that's that's a person who grew up on a farm that lady just grabbed I just love how this is a sub genre on the internet grabbing grabbed that thing like she knew exact what the [ __ ] she was doing look at her walk out confidently look at her she's all confident and [ __ ] holding on to that wild rat like does she have experience I wouldn't she must she must unless it's hers true maybe it's like a YouTube guy she's like my bad guys she releasing possums like oh he got a little crazy Rosco you cut that out cut that out Rosco we're in an Applebees come on they have a disease a very specific
disease right don't don't uh possums have like something nasty I think they have something that I was worried cuz my dogs got them a couple of times yeah they just lock up they don't even fight back they get scared yeah no theyve lock up they play posum they dead that's where it comes from yeah it's a weird response so me and the possums have the same they don't know if it's a response to escape coyotes cuz coyotes sometimes will kill you and not eat you immediately and maybe there's some sort of an evolutionary advantage to playing dead and they leave you there but you're not actually dead and so they give up on trying to eat you yet so you got a toxoplasmosis toxo and then something called lepos yeah all kinds of bad [ __ ] uh coidus how do you say that first one Cox deisis come on dude you went to college I mean I didn't study this I didn't study pums how do you say that Co cois a microscopic parasite found in aosome fees spreads the disease known as coxy diois when aosom are immune to the disease they're carriers and spread it to other animals diarrhea yeah uh bloody diarrhea dehydration weight loss General decline in health if untreated can result in complications or death oh [ __ ] this one sounds tough death by parasites you know what they give you when you get parasites what H oh really yeah um yeah that's what it's originally for dogs are susceptible to this one dogs are susceptible to lepto leptospirosis leptospirosis bacterial infection through contact with a posum urine or contaminated water both pets and humans can so doesn't I wonder if that means if they bite them if they bite them they definitely can get toxo if they eat them so the moral story is just stay away from pums if you can right I would imagine was the wildest yeah do you know that they think that somewhere um in some places like at France at one point in time 50% of the population was positive for toxo no why from what cats ah from feral cats feral cats leave cat [ __ ] around and that's why they tell pregnant women never touch cat litter it's it could re it's really bad for the kid if the woman's pregnant and she gets toxo oh [ __ ] but it's a parasite that infects your brain and the
wildest thing about it is what what it does to rats cuz it rewires the rat sexual reward system this parasite does and gets the rat horny for cat piss so the cat is like pissing somewhere the rat finds where the cat's pissing and he's literally erect is he just [ __ ] a liquid or what no fear of cats zero fear of cats Their Fear of cats completely goes away to the point where they pursue cats so the cats eat the rats because toxo can only grow it can only reproduce inside the Cats Digest of track so in inside the cat's gut it's reproducing the cat shits it out and then the cycle repeats itself the rats eat it the rats eat the cat [ __ ] rats always eat [ __ ] they get toxo they give it to other cats vious cycle and it gets to people and it makes people Reckless it makes it's a disproportionate amount of high instances of toxo are connected to successful soccer teams how do you know so much about toxo like I'm fascinated by it there's this guy Robert spolski out of uh Stanford is he out of Stanford yeah at least so um brilliant guy but uh he did all this work on toxoplasmosis and one of the things they found when he was a resident or maybe it was one of his friends that was a resident um they found that there was a disproportionate amount of motorcycle victims who tested positive for toxo so they started testing motorcycle victims for toxo and they found that there's a disproportionate amount enough to indicate that there's probably something going on there that maybe the toxo makes people more Reckless that's so weird how that can make you do that it's nuts dude you think of how many people have feral cats how many people probably have it you can have it and not even have any idea have no inclination that you have it I'm going to get tested for toxo just a little cuckoo like dude I had it the whole time you're just a little cuckoo so 40% of population in America 40% so much 40% as toxo up to it could be 16 to 40% let's just say it's only 16 you know how nuts that is it's it's a parasite that affects your be affects your behavior that's so bananas I know how nuts is that it's pretty and most people aren't even aware of that get tested guys this is like a PSA get tested for toxo yeah it's uh what are the side effects or what are the effects I know
there's like a loss of uh inhibition I think that comes with it something along those lines that's good before you hit the stage toxo just makes you Fearless as a comedian well that you know a good toxo good head injur is good for that too yeah a good head injury a good head injury when you're younger like you wouldn't recommend it but two of the all-time greats had like big head injuries and they turned into K Kennis and rosan ran I didn't know she had a head injur hit by car yeah oh Adam deine got hit by a car too when he was Jes yeah yeah I think he broke his bones and stuff when he was a kid God that's so scary yeah i' I've been watching more car accidents because of Instagram than at any other time in my life Instagram just wants to show you people dying well X2 Man X2 well X is everything X has porn on it which is so wild that during the time where they were trying to take people take their accounts away for covid information that they didn't think was corrected at the time they were allowing like hardcore point I know you you forget it's the wild wild west on there and I'm not saying they shouldn't I'd love it's such Whiplash like I'll be watching a cat video and then it's just some guy you know getting hit by a car I'm like Jesus like give me a minute let me brace myself and Instagram knows that I watch those those mother serving me up there's a lot of these I'm not even following these accounts you like this guy dying you may like this guy yeah it's like it's weird like should your feed be only people you follow or should they show you a bunch of [ __ ] well that's what these companies are struggling with because when it was all just your circle people weren't consuming as much as the suggested videos you know it's funny is like I got Shadow banned on Instagram for like around Thanksgiving what did you do hardly anything and it's it sucks because I'm trying to do a special via non-traditional means you know like it's not Netflix it's not Comedy Central like this is a model now because of like you and YouTube like this is a viable alternative to like the Netflix comedy central special whatever so it's like you need the power of these social media companies to reach people so like doing podcasts and you do the YouTube special that's like arm of it and then you
disseminate uh Ari shafir has like been very helpful with like trying to self-release a special so you like chop it up into Clips like this is what I did at my last one you know and you just chop up cuz most people are going to access you via Clips like everyone has time for 30 seconds right cuz the hourong special is kind of for jazz heads you got to be a real standup comedy nerd to like sit down and watch an hour for real vyl I swear it is because like I was talking to roywood Jr and like sometimes because we're in standup we just think it's the world because it is our world and we think that it translates to the rest and he kind of he like birds eye viewed it for me he's like yo when you go on Spotify standup is under Jazz you know what I mean he goes as an art form it's under jazz jazz is more popular and I'm like it kind of put everything into Focus for me where you know I don't have to be as invested I'm like okay there's a seiling to what you can do but anyway you I need the clips like I need the arm of the clips because uh like I I had some clips do like 12 mil and stuff and people were able to find me via Instagram reels so when they shadowban me like it tells you you can look at your account status and there'll be marks on there it'll say um there's like three strikes and stuff and then one of the things it said is your content will not be shown to non-followers and that's kind of how the machine works like your stuff gets suggested to people who may not have known about you so you need that as an artist if you want to grow like to see your special and your standup so you're you're being suppressed you're being limited how do you know you were Shadow band cuz uh it tells you on your account status and then I had people talking to people who work at IG or meta or whatever and they're like yeah it's Shadow band um what did you do I think it's because it's an election cycle or something like it's not even a human doing it I think it just scrapes for buzzwords and just blanket uh has these surpression on it so I had this joke that sounds so creepy well it's it sucks because there's no Nuance to it it was just a joke you know my fem works on stuff show I do it on YouTube sometime
where I'm just working on material I just do it to feed the algo and sometimes there's a great joke that works and I just post it on a real because it's like 80% of the way there and I'm just feeding the algo so this joke I post I post it on all of them you know I do a clip and then I post it on all the social media platforms so it remained on Tik Tok and all the other ones was fine and usually Tik Tok is very Draconian like they don't like because it's mostly kids so the joke it's a I just go it's a non sequer you know just out don't nowhere I'm like oh I just I just want to let you guys know Hamas is hiding at my ex-girlfriend's house so that's the joke it's like saying something without saying something it's just you know it's a joke and like oh my God we can't have jokes about that's that's all I said oh my God and uh and then I think I just saw Hamas on the thumbnail you know when you post on the grid and then I got a strike for that and then there was no way to reach people and I'm just [ __ ] wait a minute so any mention of Hamas gets you shot a b is that what you're saying yes yeah pretty much I think it just uh it's just machine learning or whatever it is it's just scraping the internet for like buzzwords so that was like a hot button issue and stuff and there's no Nuance applied to the situation or the joke so it just sees Hamas and then my account got hit like that so is it any joke about Hamas or just mentioning Hamas I don't think the joke was even taken into consideration I think they just saw Hamas on a thumbnail or Hamas on a caption not knowing that it's a guy on stage doing a joke right and there's layers appeal it yes I tried to appeal it and then it was just stuck in review forever so nothing was going to happen like I was I was pretty much [ __ ] so I influencers in LA and stuff and I was like and sometimes when they're pretty high up on IG they have a contact or something more than a nebulous MH because you can't these companies are so there's no point person I think it's like that for a reason so they tried to help me out they had a guy and we're going back and forth and nothing was getting done and luckily I met a large agency like a talent agency and they were going at it too trying to help and
like just a week ago it got lifted because yes and then so the joke is up whereas before it wasn't so it's like it didn't even happen it's like I had someone vouch for me and then they like hands were off it was fine but only because I had the might of this Talent agcy if I was like a regular guy I would just be [ __ ] well that is the thing about a an agency can get in contact with someone who there's a value in that for sure yeah so much especially in this weird time but you also have to realize from their perspective they're managing at scale literally billions of people yes so I mean Facebook and Instagram are all the same company right it's all meta so like how many how many meta customers are there let's just guess so many well isn't like a small nation when you add up how many Facebook I don't think it's very small nation I think it's I think it's a really big one I think it's a really big one I I I want to say it's north of two billion yeah that's a big ass country but it's a it's it's an imperfect solution active users on meta products is 3.19 billion yeah that's half that's so many people a lot of people you have to think from their perspective that they think they have an obligation somehow to uh maintain a certain level of discourse on their platform this is how you could establish it initially but then when you get people in there that are very politically biased and you get people in there that are socially biased and you and they only want one perspective being heard and then you get a lot of people self-censoring because they self-censor because they're like hey I don't know what I can say what I can't say now I'm like that right exactly that's what I'm saying Twitter does not do that X does not do that I don't like calling it X I still call it Twitter know I'm old school bro I'm old school uh it's because it's not an X you can't make an X you make a tweet true right I tweeted it ex it that's no I say ex it I I ride hard for El I'm like I was on X and I was just cting a bunch of x's and then just [ __ ] I exed it what what do you call it tweet oh that that's that's that's Jack dorsy this is El the old days kids it just so it's nice to have my account back but but I love that it's wild that's the the Twitter thing is
it's I mean some of it is disturbing when people get comfortable enough to just like really speak their mind about things like oh my god well that's the thing about social media too is uh uh sometimes when you're a close nit Circle your buddies kind of check you like hey what are you doing but social media some people have a lot of rope and you're like oh no yeah and especially like isolated people yes I see my friends get nutty on the road like I'll get nut like you could tell your buddy has been on the road for too long like they do a video in a hotel room or something and you're like oh no they're losing their mind yeah I've been guilty of that too just when you're not surrounded by community and people and you're just a brain floating on the road the number one key that I found very early is go on the road with your friends I'm lucky I've entered a phase in my career where now I'm starting to be able to do that whereas before you're not making enough money so you're just beholden to whoever they book as a feature and you're just stuck in a hotel you're walking across a freeway to go to a Cracker Barrel and kill time I decided a long time ago like 98 to do that just bring just pay more money yeah give them the money just make less money but have a good time it's worth it dude it's everything it's everything make less money have a good time make more money have a bad time not fun you don't like that that's not a good feeling make less money have a good time and have everybody else have a good time too so it's a bunch of guys who are really good friends who love each other been on the road forever going to dinners forever I've had hundreds of dinners with Ari and Joey Diaz and Duncan and so we get together it's just Joy it's the best it's just Joy it's just being with your favorite people having a good time and doing the thing that you can't believe you get paid to do yeah I'm I'm able to do that now I think you know I mean I have to say thank you for no you're able to do it from your talent I know but I mean this is a platform because like I wasn't a Netflix guy I wasn't a Comedy Central guy and which doesn't make any sense to me it just shows me that Comedy Central Netflix well look at how much how many of my friends and peers are just skyrocketing and they weren't the guys
they picked you know what I mean so it's kind of validating and refreshing and it's cool to see comedy policing itself and just promoting guys who are in the trenches and know what's up not some guy who has a communications degree I think there's a lot of Comedy nerds now too that are really into comedy they're really because they get to see how the sausage is made from all the podcasts yeah you know it's still like really before that I always said this like there's so few conversations with great standups uh that exist like from the George Carlin days or Richard prior days there's not hours and hours of Prior just sitting around talking about things which would have been amazing yeah amazing can you imagine Richard prior or George Carlin had a podcast it's pretty nuts I know oh my God it'd be insane it'd be insane and George has done some conversations where he talked about his writing process he talked about you know the art form itself but he had a very specific way of doing it that most people don't do it that way he would write a monologue yeah and then he would just sort of punch it up a little bit that monologue would be his monologue for the year was amazing but it was rigid and he knew he knew his Beats and stuff but yeah totally process totally different process CU in the end he became this guy who was a comic as much as he was a social critic it was like both things were this it was still a great comic clearly but he was also a great social critic and he had because he didn't have a podcast his view of the world came out in a standup and he had to figure out a way to make that funny and that was like his great challenge well it gets so distilled when that's here because like we can talk at length and approximate it and we have and you can go back on what you said and go you know actually now that I'm thinking about it right I could see how you would look at it the other way too which is so goddamn important comedy fans are are getting very granular it's kind of cool I think comedy's always been popular but not like this and I I I almost feel like it's um people are discovering standup this day and age sort of like the way they used to discover music people are taking ownership of discovering comedians cuz even me I'm kind of like under the radar I'm I'm pretty Niche and
when a a comedy fan likes me there's just like a level of fandom it's like they found a cool record at a at a record shop because of the the Advent of YouTube and Instagram people aren't just accepting whatever is being fed to them through uh corporate pipe right which used to be the case like if you weren't picked before you couldn't you you couldn't do anything that was the only way to even get in front of people is like you had to be the corporate pick otherwise you were just toiling in obscurity there's no way to even be seen but now there's all these ways to circumvent the traditional like Schultz was saying something is like like younger generations and stuff they don't know uh where they saw it or like what the medium is with The Branding they just know they saw it on a TV whether it's YouTube whether it's Netflix whether it's Amazon like that type of branding is almost like Legacy thinking from when I was coming up and you were coming up and there was a way to do it yeah people just like good now well they like what they like too and there's plenty of variety there's all sorts of different Comics out there now that are really popular it's a really interesting time I think like for standup like for the art form I don't think there's ever been a better time there's never been more of it there's never been more good ones there's never been more good ones coming up and that's one of the more interesting things about watching the club is occasionally I get to see these people that uh audition to be door people those are all Comics yeah and I get to see them grow it's fun it's fun to watch man it's fun to watch people inspired and that energy is in the whole room you know because there's all these different levels know these guys like Assan and Derek who are now going on the road killing on the road David Lucas is killing on the road William Montgomery's killing it on the road and then there's like the headliners that come in that are there all the time like Shane and Duncan and Tom sigura and all these people that come in to [ __ ] around but there's this feeling that starts at the bottom it starts with the base it starts with the people that are inspired about making it still and then there's the people that are just getting in and then there's the people that are in and then
there's the people that are on television and everybody knows who they are and they scream when they go on stage there's Ron White you know there's those people so it's like you get to see how we're all just the same thing we're all just artists for lack of a poal po just different a weird art form we're doing a weird art form that hasn't really until now been documented as to how to go about doing the process and how each one of us went about doing the process and I think people are interested in that just like I'm interested in that [ __ ] that makes wood wood tools I love when people love things yeah I do when even if it's something that I don't do I love when people love things anything man anything well it's so interesting how the blueprint is to make it whatever you want to call it in comedy has shifted so fast in the past couple years cuz when I was coming up it was SNL it was doing like a late night set it was doing premium blend like these smaller showcase type sets and then you do a half hour like a half hour on Comedy Central was huge like Dane had a monster half hour uh just Gaffigan you would Louie you know these were like people's entry points to these people and then now there's really those things don't exist I was taking um well it's the viral clip down yes so you know I was on the road and I took uh I was doing cobs and I brought Matt Lockwood comedian from the store and we're just sitting eating ice cream on the bench and and I'm you know talking to the young comics and I'm like what what do you guys Pine for now like what is the thing cuz when I was coming up I knew what the thing was like what we all wanted right it was like a JFL uh showcase it was a late night just fortal the biggest set of your life is in French Canada it is and then you make an Arby's joke and you're like oh you don't have Arby's that would have been that would have been good to know in front of all these suits uh what what else is in the news um so I go what's your thing what are you and he's like there's really nothing that was weird to me that they had no touchdown he goes maybe like a clip goes viral or a podcast it's just so nebulous now right there's no hard blueprint well the blueprint before was kind of the the pro
the problem was it involved other stuff the blueprint involved like getting a sitcom getting a talk show getting a something yes it always involved that a means to an end a springboard like you couldn't just be a comic you got to be a wacky neighbor but that was the thing that always bummed me out the most about Richard Jenny you know Richard Jenny when he died um was one of the best Comics ever but was felt like a failure because he didn't become Jim Carrey because he didn't become the guy who did the movies he had a TV show called platypus man that was on like one of those burgeoning networks one of those new networks like what was it WB WB one of those it was the tub of its day it was one of those weird networks where like they started offering people deals to do shows that maybe wouldn't have got a show at NBC or ABC but he was a great comic man a great [ __ ] comic and he never liked the fact that he was just a comic but what's crazy is if you plug him in today he'd be a kill it's like you're enough as a comic you're enough whereas that used to never be the case it was like what else do you do what such a disrespected art form it's such like it's something that everybody loves but nobody nobody takes that seriously because because it seems like the person on stage is doing what you can do they're just talking I know I know but they get up there and they learn very quickly yeah oh what if they get up there yeah well you ever have a drunk person who's like I'll do it sometimes I'm like all right let's let's try let's see what you got and go and then everyone hates them you wanted this dude yeah well it's just people think and then there's people that want to do it and just don't know how to do it yeah there's a lot of that I'll get that after shows some like young Comics like what do I do I've been writing stuff I'm like you just got to get up you just got to walk into the fire yeah you just got to do that first open mic night after the first one it'll be a lot easier the first one's the hardest one for sure the first one I was [ __ ] terrified yeah but the fact if you even do it do three minutes and even if it's terrible that is 99% further than most people ever do so many people talk but they never even like bomb for 3 minutes that is a win even for real cuz you know what it feels
like at least if you have gotten laughs and then you bomb I think that's better because at least you know you can get last but if you start off bombing the road to actually getting like if you bomb out of the gate first time on stage just death right not even a chuckle well if you come back if you come back after that happens you're an animal yeah or you're a crazy person sure could those are those are those are both great assets as a stand comedian occasionally I guess the crazy person isn't always you know the crazy person isn't always that's not really right you have to harness the crazy yeah some people it's not harness a you know it's a thousand horsepower engine on a [ __ ] kid's bike what do we do with this they have like a little kid's bike with a [ __ ] giant Corvette engine on it oh I also gotta thank you because I mean it reminds me um I brought my parents to Tonight Show and that's because of your podcast I remember I was doing I forget which one I've been on a few times but like you're like have your parents seen you before and I'm like uh no I go they they saw me do the Apollo when I was 18 and then I I got booed at the Apollo and that was the first I was like a few months in the doing standup and they're from Afghanistan and this is not a thing you do and right they wanted me to quit and it was just very disgraceful me doing this and they see me get booed by 4,000 people I'm telling the story on the I think the one or two gu so I I get boot off stage and all that and then you're like they got to come see you again man you're great and I go I just have this mental block right because that was so bad right that um I just it's like an emotional thing you just put in a closet and you just ignore it yeah cuz I just wanted to keep on uh doing comedy on my own keeping my my parents and stuff like separate and then you're like they got to come see you and then on the podcast I was like uh I just always had this fantasy of like it when they see me it being so good to counteract how bad that experience was that it would be like a celebration that everything is okay your son turned out okay all the worries you had uh you don't have to worry anymore so I think after I spoke it into an
existence on your pod actually went about doing it so I hit up the booker of The Tonight Show and I'm like I mean I guess I could have always done it I just never I know the booker I go can I do The Tonight Show I'd love to do it I told them the whole story of like my parents have never seen me since that thing this is like an emotional thing I need to take care of like this isn't even about comedy anymore this is just like healing it's been this monkey on my back for 20 years 21 years you know and then he's like send me a tape I sent him a tape so I actually did the work I fin finally just went about doing the work I went to The Improv I put a tape together I sent it to him he's like this is great come and do it so then I flew my parents out to New York and it was just very therapeutic to be able to give this to my parents because they know what the Tonight Show is it was a celebration it was like this is way bigger than like I love The Tonight Show thank you for letting me do it and all that stuff but in the grand scheme of like entertainment and needle moving it it's not what it used to be you know you used to do tonight show when people like honking and shouting your name from cars and [ __ ] that's how I found out about Richard Jenny oh his tonight show up here yeah I saw him tonight show but this was just to give my parents a night out and a memory and a story for their parents so I wore a suit I brought them out they got to they got to meet Jimmy they got to meet The Roots the Roots came in and the cuz I'm like friends with the roots somehow so like yeah they're like oh your son is amazing blah blah blah you're you raised a good kid and all that so it was everything I would I could ever dream of it being and and I that's that stems from your pod you know well it stems from you dude you put it together but still just um when you talk about things and and you speak something into existence I think that's valuable you know just sure but you also have to work at it think about it you got to put that set together you got to work at it yeah you got to be real careful with that speak things into existence talk cuz you're a very dedicated and disciplined writer right you write all the time you're always working on new mat matal you're always working on your
material you put a lot of time and effort into standup comedy people say that that's nice thank you but I mean I I just develop systems where it doesn't feel cuz when people are like oh you write a lot it doesn't feel like I write a lot because I just have systems and processes where over time I look at my notes and I just have a bunch of stuff it's not I think people have such an aversion to writing they think that you have to go to a log cabin you know what I mean and there's a typewriter and then you like do a pipe and you're like what funny exactly whereas I've gotten my process to a point where I just live life and if something happens I jot it in my phone and you jot enough things in your phone that list is pretty long yeah and then I developed that fem works on stuff and his friends drop by show I developed in a in during covid on accident like the jam in the van was the only venue doing shows and I had already headlined there they go you want to do another one I'm like uh how about this for an idea I go I just have all these bits that I never get around to crying I MC the show I have a piece of paper up there I'm just kind of like reading I'm just like spaghetti against the wall and this goes back to people comedy fans being Savvy now where they know the process and I I have enough fans at this point now where like they want to see how the sausage gets made you know yes so I do like 10 minutes in between acts just trying stuff out and then I bring up people doing great sets you know what I mean so the bulk of the Integrity of the show isn't based on me trying new stuff cuz I have great comics in firsted so it's a very low stakes way for me to try a bunch of new material so after the Great ACT goes I do 10 more minutes of [ __ ] or whatever bring up the next comic so it's a safe space for me to be able to try new stuff and they know what you're doing too yeah the show is called f works on stuff his friends dropped by so I think good name of a show yeah and it mitigates expectations I think a lot of times comics when they're like oh man I'm so afraid I can't write stuff it's like make the show where you can cuz Bobby some sometimes first of all it was very cool to see Bobby on the Pod I'm surprised it took I know it took forever it took forever I told Bobby I'm like I'm so glad that you finally did it like
would do it forever forever Bob's weird like that sometimes yeah not yet not yet but I don't even we talked about doing it like a hundred times whenever I'd see him at the store I know and he just knocked middle what made him want to do it this time what put him over the top I don't know I should ask him he just you know it's going to be in town time right um hooked up it was fun it was fun hanging out with him yeah he's awesome I love he was he was the first comic to take me on the road like a headliner to actually take me on the road with him he's a genuinely sweet guy genuinely sweet guy always has been yeah he's always good with other Comics hilarious so funny he's hilarious to hang out with too he's a feral cat dude I had him on my pod one time and like I had an idea of where I wanted the Pod to go and I'm just kind of like mentally trying to Corral Bobby and there's no way W that's silly you need a you need like a red red cape I need a PA some guy just to grab Bobby Off the Wall I uh spent this is how how stupid I am I spent uh 20 minutes today watching dudes do flips over Bulls yeah cuz there's dudes this is a new sport where the Bulls run at them and they flip over the Bulls they do like front flips so they're acrobats the red cloth isn't enough not enough you're now count next Evolution you're counting on your knees and your ankles these guys oh that guy got hit look at this look at this [ __ ] the leaping of the bulls look at this [ __ ] I watch this for 20 minutes today I can't do that without the bll bro this is you have to be so so athletic you're avoiding horns that that goes up your [ __ ] you're a dead person yeah and it happens all the time man do you think one of these guys is undefeated nope I guarantee you Father Tom catches them just like it catches great Fighters I bet there's a few of those guys that hang in there a little too long the B fighter yeah front flip gets a little sloppy maybe you're you got that one bad ankle but I'll compensate with my right ankle uh-uh not this time it's not even a flip it's a somersault this time this time you're going head button a [ __ ] bull it's just a I mean but it's such a weird listen I prefer it to the other thing the other bull fighting thing they
do where they stick them full of Spears and they compromise it flipping is just good fun well it's just the whole bull fighting thing I get it back in the dis you ever tried to flip no I've never tried to flip I used to be able to flip really oh yeah I believe you yeah I learned uh for the High School Musical that's like the least manly story like youever flip yeah how long did it take you to learn uh you know during the summertime you just have so much free time that I had my best friend across the street I'm like yo come over I'm going to try to do a backflip tell me what I'm doing wrong so he just had eyes on me and I would try to just do it on the sidey yard of my parents house Jesus Christ so I would run grass is pretty soft you know I'm not doing on concrete it's soft enough but you're 18 you have rubber bones right so I would just run do a roundoff to backflip and then but I was doing it sideways I think when you first start you want to see the ground the whole time cuz you're too afraid to totally let go yeah so he's like stop going diagonal go more and then finally I got it so I was doing doing I wasn't doing a standing backflip I was doing a roundoff to backflip and then I learned how to go off a wall whoa and then that's actually easier because you just like push off the wall it takes a lot of the rotation out and then I learned how to have uh my buddy launch me I actually posted on my Instagram because when I was Shadow ban I was just posting dancing you know what I mean I was I was in jail I was in jail so I just like so how banned were you D I still still see but at the time when you were Shadow ban would that mean I would have a hard time seeing yourself is it people that follow new people wouldn't be able to see me but some I would be able to reach some of follows you could see you yes everybody maybe not the entire pie but I if my ceiling was going to be people who already follow me I wasn't going to reach any new people um that's weird isn't it yeah so then I didn't want to cuz I had all these jokes and stuff and I go I don't want to burn these clips on a suppressed audience right you know so I just went to my archives and just reposted dance [ __ ] but what's funny is like sometimes when you post dance stuff it brings people who like dance that you
wouldn't think like sometimes you'll like a dance thing and it throws me it throws me for a Loof because I wouldn't think Joe Rogan likes a dancing video from me I like all kinds of things man yeah and then Juliet Lewis started liking some of the stuff this is like a [ __ ] crazy world and then she she asked a question in one of the IGS and I'm like she's like oh yeah did you used to do this for talent shows and stuff and I'm like a I Did It For The High School Musical so is there can you pull it up on I'm trying to find I it's uh I found other Dance videos I there's too I have too many Dance videos let me let's explore this yeah why is musicals not manly probably the singing and dancing right why is singing and dancing not manly particularly evolutionarily speaking because women have always been impressed by singing and dancing ing yeah but you think about Saturday Night Fever yes right but think about all the jealous guys and they just call Travolta gay or whatever because the if the girls like if the girls like something that kind of Blends feminine haters is going to say he's gay blend's feminine so why singing and dancing right but why again if if women like it and if it's difficult to do what makes those two things that are difficult to do that women like because it's not a Mas like it watching it too though if it was Rock like if it's leather guys can get behind that right but if a guy can really dance that shit's impressive yeah but it has to be next level has to be like Michael Jackson or Prince interesting like Lance or like Lance like Lance can't stop L's Lance coming back you know L's Lance coming back Lance yeah I don't know f does a character on stage called Lance can stopus and it was always a favorite of The Comedy Store is he doing Lance tonight is he doing Lance tonight I think he irritated you well n i mean it's fun stop asking for Lance I'm right here F's right here [ __ ] Lance is cannibal Lance is cannibalizing fim it's like that movie what was it the dark half what was that book The Stephen King book with the writer like uh he's got like an evil writer in his brain that writes all the hits yeah and he comes to life well there I mean Lance is a part of me the
the thing is I almost feel like Lance is who I would be if I didn't have parents I swear to God because my parents raised me a certain way and even when I have thoughts and stuff there are so many gates before I kind of say you know what I say I'm careful sometimes and then Lance is just pure it and it's dancing and it's it's it's candy right and it's so fun also as an artist too just as a standup CU when I when I write jokes and [ __ ] I'm like there's it's intricate you know okay what goes here blah blah blah it's mentally taxing right but Lance there's no jokes it's just you show up they play dance music and I'm I'm going on to The Comedy Store where they've seen so much highlevel cerebral great jokes and stuff and then they're like Lance canopis oh yeah here Bert bringing Lance up is there [Music] [Applause] everybody one more time like pure nonsense no amazing I know I know amazing but it really s do you have the wig with you I I I packed Lance Lance is going on stage tonight oh [ __ ] Lance is going on stage tonight I just love the phrase I packed Lance Lance is going on stage tonight it's like I get mad if Duncan doesn't bring little hobo where's little hobo so one time when Adam was still at the store he was you know the the manager there I went up earlier in the night in the O as me and then my set's done and Whitney's running late and then Adam tracks me in the hallway he like grabs me by the shoulders and he goes Whitney's running late get Lance so I'm like Superman so I go I go to the trunk of my car and then and then I you know I turn into Lance so this is like three or four Comics later and they they bring they go who's next they go Lance the comics like what the [ __ ] they go all right Lance against al then I go I go back up for the same audience but I'm as Lance this time and I dance and [ __ ] and then I sit on the stool and I'm like you guys look strangely familiar so then then I'm like I do a 10-minute Lance set and then I see Whitney in the back and then and then like ladies and gentlemen wh Whitney comings and so so I got them out of a
pinch that's amazing but I've never done I guess one other time I did do Lance on the same show like as fim bro Lance will become dice yeah I can see that cuz it's so much fun to do do you know the dice story so no what was that dice name is Andrew Silverstein right I know he was like a great impressionist and great Go on stage he to do all these characters he used to do John Travolta he does an amazing John Travolta right and then he would do this character called The Dice Man and then the Dice Man became him him doing was it fun of my car let me tell you something this car is automatic it's systematic it's htic lightning just singing Elvis in front of like Madison Square Garden I mean how you not love him it's so good it's amazing he's amazing guys is amazing but anyway um that became him ah he became that character that's him this is it man your Lance this is my Evolution I was a caterpillar you are Lance this is this is my my suggestion for your next special after this one that you just did yeah half hour of you short break yeah half hour of Lance so it's like speaker box and love below like the outcast album like half this half that that's pretty great you you leave the stage the the stage goes black for like three minutes you [ __ ] swap out clothes put the wig on hit yourself a little Dior yeah what do they wear what do people that like to wear colog what is what is dudes who like to party aquaa for sure the guy who goes to clubs the guy's like what's up girls like what's that guy wearing uh yeah what's what's the gold chains what's that guy wearing jean jacket obviously wife beater underneath right what is the smell though probably I typed in cheesy guy cologne and the this bottle popped up some people are really into cologne manne when I was a kid I had jakar Noir jar was the big all the guys hey you got to get jakar girls love it smells good I have no idea some girls like no knows what the [ __ ] he's doing was big in the '90s cool water oh yeah oh Tommy was big for me growing up and then Polo sport was was a hot fragrance I used to do the Old Spice ant After Shave where you
[ __ ] Splash it in your hands you sting your face it's functional though too cuz if I don't do that and I shave with a razor you'll get ingrown so listen to you it's functional you just go back engineer just do that yo it burned but it feel good you just [ __ ] Splash that on your face yeah that's what I'm saying you're like Kevin M L dude I think Lance it's fun like I'm bringing a Mac I've been doing it more at the store would you do that though that that my idea for a special I I I would I'll produce it oh yeah how about that also cuz this is my third traditional special like I've done it you know what I mean so it's kind of you get bored and there's enough digital IP out there of me doing straight standup well you can do both though that's the beauty of what you've got going on is that you could just do an entire Lance tour if you wanted to or an entire fem you do whatever you want I also had this idea too because like Lance just loves everything he thinks he can do everything he can be an actor he wants to be in action movies he wants to he wants to sing and do music so like I might want to do like where it's like a documentary of like Lance putting out an album and an EP and so so so so he like tours America doing like shitty venues but he has like three songs on an album and then the in between of doing songs he's just like doing work like thank you for supporting live music and everything and like how I came up with this song I was taking a [ __ ] at and like just chords came to me hit it you know so it's like half music half comedy that could be a fun different type of special to do yeah I just love I love when someone bust out a character you know yeah yeah there's a few things you don't see that much in standup anymore you don't see like a character cuz it's scary um you'll get [ __ ] on a lot when you're a young comic if you something kind of non-traditional you can get [ __ ] so like luckily Lance happened after I was really established at The Comedy Store like I Lance is good it doesn't matter know but even if you weren't established if you came in and just did Lance think oh my God it's hilarious Lance was able to thrive because I already had the for real Lance is another person dude he is what is that Stephen King book he is is it dark
half Lance was able to thrive because I was already beloved at the store like I I had earned their respect and stuff right and so cuz if you start killing with a character and no one knows who you are you're going to get [ __ ] on by the like elders and stuff like so it might take oh not at the store uh if it's it's a harder cell than if you have no history as a traditional comic yet like it seems like hacky or a trick so the fact that I can do straight but it's not of it's good The Dark Half yeah right Thad Bowmont a parasitic twin removed from inside his skull when he was 12 what since then it's become a critically acclaimed literary writer and a Blockbuster crime writer under the pseudonym George Stark who goes on a murderous Rampage when Thad kills him off is that yeah that's thinking yeah that's the book it's a crazy crazy book I mean it's fun doing different character music stuff Lance is inside of I did aom can you pull it up cuz I uploaded it you need to feed Lance I will feed Lance for Lance going to go on murderous this is going to be sort of the way that Tonight Show thing was spoken into existence this is the new new thing can you pull up U I did a promo like a music video for my special this it just reminded me of the music I I think Comics are open to anybody trying anything as long as it's really good but the pro we don't put that same scrutiny on someone try and stand up for the first time you know like when you see someone doing an open mic night you expect them to suck it's just so [ __ ] hard yeah but if you see someone doing an open mic night and sucking as a character you're like you ain't never going to make it [ __ ] right ke turn it up what is this I have a special promo for new comedy special house money instead of doing a trailer for my special I'm like let me just do a music video so this kid mcon he directed it he does a lot of bad friend stuff too so we bang this out in a day you know it's disturbing that that that guy could be a very popular music artist that could be your third career your third care is super emo is so thick satirical satirical British Emo songs I'm not kidding I was listening to Tears for Fears and I'm like this has to be my promo bro if if you go like way over the
top Tears for Fears like over to the next level of dismay so British yeah over the top like so over the top you could be that's your next career that's your third career this is my I'm just stacking careers today yeah you're going to stack careers you're going to be a mock emo singer from the UK from somewhere where it never is sunny Scotland or some [ __ ] on a lineup who goes where obviously I can't follow Lance so Lance closes up so it' be Lance has to close this guy opens this guy opens he opens with his corny songs right right you have these songs everybody goes nuts short break you come back as fem and then everyone hard for short break you kind of hear like yeah Lance l l l like on a bleachers and I'm bullshitting the first one's probably a bad idea the singing is probably a bad idea but the other two are really good ideas those are real but the singing could make it if you really like I don't want it to make it a fun promo to if you wanted to prove a point if you had like this thing in the back of your head and you're like you know what [ __ ] thing like get my Eddie Murphy on yeah my party all the time that's a jam though that is a [ __ ] Jam let's put that on the Green Room playlist my girl want money all the that was produced by Rick James right Joey Diaz you're on the podcast y I love you brother where you been you don't call you don't right I called you yesterday hey I'm here with fahem I love you Joey how are you you gotta talk loud he can't hear you doesn't have Joe I love you man how are you I love you brother I can hear you listen that right oh don't tell everybody they'll know now the whole world's going to know yes I love you I'll talk to you soon bye he's such a sweet guy man like I can mute it I can mute it I want people know him when he's coming okay all right mute it I didn't one of the fun things about the club is no one knows who's going to be on stage I see it because I follow the Instagram account obviously it's fun depending like who's in town and especially when we do protect our parks and then it's Ari and norand it's fun seeing that pop cuz the audience is losing their [ __ ] minds yeah it's fun the crowd's like oh
my God it's just a it's a fun place man and uh you were a part of the beginning of this you really were cuz you were like one of the first comics and took a chance moved out here thanks man I mean it's very cool to see the scene grow and continue to grow and part of you thinks like how big can it get it can get pretty [ __ ] pretty big man it can get pretty big because there's a lot of new people that are doing it and they're really dedicated well and if you're a young comic this this seems way more viable than uh a place like New York or La that's super saturated and even if you're funny it's it's hard to get on stage whereas there's more stage time out here there's a ton of stage time and it's just like it's a different environment and I always say that this is my girl wants to party all the time Rick James remember give me some give me some come on oh I love this [ __ ] oh we get kicked off YouTube we're back on oh yeah well congrats on uh you know being back and the deal yeah but we can't play music anymore imagine so whack do you think that we should do my girl wants to party do it too good it's the if I do it too good it'll pick up on the algorithm um is there a way we can just say put the full things on Spotify and just cut out the music chunks and tell people we're doing it just trying to figure out on the Fly we might have to tell people we're doing it I don't like being hindered by this nonsense we we want to hear party all the time but it's also it's like what is fair use you know how does that work I don't know the rulings on stuff they should be able to talk about one of the greatest [ __ ] things song by a how many how many entertainers have ever done as many things as Eddie Murphy has that's nuts well that's what's crazy he did one or how many specials two two or three and is two album he's Beverly Hills Cop comes out I think this week or something soon or something dude if he wanted to do stand up right now if he just wanted to jump back on stage right now he would start murdering right away murdering even watching his Comedians and Cars just being talking to Jerry there's so many great bits in in conversation with him great tragedy that that guy doesn't do stand up but he doesn't want to so whatever did you uh watch SNL I I
watched Shane's monologue yeah and I watched the uh Trump sneakers bit it's great man he's such a good sketch performer like amazing yeah it's rare that someone is really good at standup and is great at sketch like that too he said he had a good time he said they were for the most part they were cool to him yeah yeah he said it was a it was a good experience he's glad he did it I'm glad he did too um it's one of the few times that it's been appointment viewing for SNL you know for especially for comics and stuff every everyone proba through the roof bananas yeah I bet the ratings are bananas my favorite from there uh when he was on is that Liu emu sketch but it got cut for time and I'm watching on the internet I go they didn't air this this is the best sketch well you know they have you know they they run their show there's a certain order and maybe it got cut for time or something but when I'm watching I'm like this is the best imagine putting together a new show every week and it not sucking right what are the odds what are the odds that's so hard to do I know put together a new show every week that's so hard to do did that show mean anything to you growing up yes yeah definitely um the John balushi days man I used to watch that if if you watch some of those episodes now you could never do any of what they were doing they had some of the wildest shows those shows were great the old Saturday night lives were [ __ ] great they were really fun well that was the only place to see something like that too only place it was nuts you know and then In Living Color came around oh man I loved In Living Color In Living Color was insane people forgot how good that was I remember I was at a pool hall the first time I saw it it was like um I think it was one of those Super Bowl days where like they had In Living Color on like during halftime I think it was that was the deal cuz everybody was watching in living was like it was and we were I was like I was watching Jim Carrey as Fire Marshal Bill with his face all burned off like this is insane what is let me tell you something there was nothing like that that had ever been on television before and it was on Fox right Fox took like more chances back then they had the Simpsons they had like
a little Wilder stuff Married with Children right a little more racy yeah I saw that I was like are you out of your [ __ ] mind it's crazy this you're mocking a bird victim I know on on TV he that he aition for SN the show was nuts man how about handyman oh my God he had a handicap superhero Damon way as handyman was hilarious he did a movie called handyman I forgot they did a movie BR are you saying they couldn't do handyman today these guys are you saying they couldn't do men on film yeah the men on film was hilariously oh oh I got to work with David Allen Greer when uh I did like a small guest star on Gerard show when it was on NBC car Michael show and I was just so Star Struck cuz like I grew up watching but he's this this thesbian guy man even before In Living Color he was just this tremendous actor but he has this crazy comedy gear as well right but that was so cool oh my God J W oh my God you could never not a [ __ ] million years did you see him come by the store and stuff D talked about this but it is a real thing what why do they in so many Scripts want masculine black men to dress like women how many times has that happened it's a thing you know it's a Trope right that's a crazy Trope that's a crazy Trope when I think I don't remember who Dave was talking to I forget who he's talking to but he's explaining this wasn't cat talking about that too where he's like I'll can't we just rewrite it to where that's not in there well it's a real thing I mean how many examples are there and who's writing it you would think at this point it's such a cliche that you would censor yourself be like okay this is almost hack at this point like let me not put this in here it's it's a weird thing to ask someone to do it's a weird thing to say hey that guy with all the big muscles let's put him in a dress it'll be F and give him lipstick and give him a wig and give him high heels and call him Wanda it's got to be tough too where you go uh because it's a big break for some people and you go I don't want to do this right well the Jamie Fox One guaranteed it was their idea because it's just a funny character it's just you couldn't do that
today yeah right you couldn't do that today that what would that be I'm kind of like that when it comes to like terrorist [ __ ] you know like like cuz you know when you're a young uh performer and actor sometimes the opportunities come through they go hey will you say allahar on CSI or some [ __ ] you know what I mean I go I know how much this helps my career you know like how am I going to level up from saying all lar and just like disappearing right so it's really not net positive and I'm trying to be a standup comedian so if I was trying to be an actor right then sometimes you're stuck doing like Samuel Jackson had to do some parts that maybe he didn't love doing early on his career yeah sure for sure but it's just that that particular one getting black men to dress up like women yeah that's a [ __ ] weird one man that's a real one and a weird one like there's so many examples of it and if you think about white men like muscular white men how many times have muscular white men been asked to dress up like women for funny way less right [ __ ] way less way more white men in movies way less white men wearing dresses that's crazy you got Mrs Doubtfire but that's a character that he's doing right that's kind of different cuz he's not cuz he's immersed he looks like this is down he's all in he's got yeah you don't even know that's Robin Williams under there right but what was the two Wong food jul yeah that was like they were all but that's drag queens okay little different right because they're all drag queens right so Wesley Snipes gets a pass on that one because he's one of the drag queens y I love ly but it was J Wesley in a dress you'd be like what the [ __ ] is going on with this movie do you think it was initially do you think it was initially Wesley and he needs let's let's surround him so it's not so obvious let's give some friends exactly that's how you pull it off it's like when you get condoms at the store but then you have a banana and then like some candy just to throw you off the scent that's hilarious like was man I love him he's so good he's great in John Wick oh he's in that is that the lest one no he's he wasn't the first one he's the guy that uh tells John Wick who killed his dog I always think it's so funny man
like that's how much Americans just just people in general Love Dogs where this guy's dog gets killed and then he John Wick murders like thousands of people and then everyone in the movie theat is like yeah that checks out yeah that's how Works bro uhuh a thousand human lives don't kill a puppy you piece of [ __ ] it's a [ __ ] puppy and he stole his car too don't forget that I was trying to watch that movie with my girlfriend cuz I had heard it was that's hilarious yeah and then she's like no I don't want to watch it like a puppy gets hurt I go they don't show it it's like the whole like they don't show it like get you know what I mean and also it's just a jumping off point for the movie it's not like it's a puppy's getting worked over for 2 hours you know like where are the diamonds puppy I'm like I I'll tell you when the part's over right and she just didn't even like the thought that a puppy gets hurt right so she mentally couldn't ever get into John Wick oh my God yeah you got to get fast forward to that part right I'd be like no the puppy lives in this version just past the puppy part yeah even that wasn't enough I couldn't trick her into watching it I had to do a but that's like the Barbie movie for dudes that's a good point yeah it is basically the same thing because girls do not want to sit there and watch this handsome man assassinate 150 people but every guy does you're like babe wake up come on you're missing him dude there's a scene where John Wick goes into the bath house and uh he's trying to kill vgo's son MH and he he essentially assassinates all the assassins in the ba the bath house it's like one of the most intense scenes in the history of [ __ ] action movies it's so good that when uh I was doing the sober October challenge with Tom and Ari and Bert and we had a fitness challenge and I just stayed on the elliptical machine watching that scene like over and over and over again this [ __ ] scene is intense man the the first John Wick is absolutely my favorite John Wick how many to now there's four they get a little cartoony they're still fun but it's a different thing right well once you get deep in the franchise it gets cartoony yeah the first John Wick was the [ __ ] it was the [ __ ] such a good movie it's just fun yeah
Yeehaw brain Take Me Away brainless for two hours oh there's a place for that yeah Oppenheimer I'm like learning all this stuff you know right like I feel like when if if they wheel I mean they don't wheel TVs in anymore but when the teachers turn on Oppenheimer you know the classes are [ __ ] lit oh yeah cuz that's that's like educational and awesome educational awesome and T yeah some I think a lot of kids are going to get into science because of the [ __ ] that's the crazy thing about scientists man is that they were all like intellectual rock stars they were like these wild Renegade people and a lot of them there some [ __ ] and I think that was also part of the appeal of being a great scientist is that you had like groupies you know just like singers well I've noticed that about any uh profession or art form form if you're a guy and you just excel in whatever field is you are there are going to be women who are attracted to that field even if it's stamp collecting just women are attracted to Excellence and in no matter how Niche a thing might be professional pool players would always bat way over the their heads with girls who played pool like guys who like really good pool players they always did way better with girls than they should have even standup like if I didn't have standup I don't think I would B if I was still an engineer at BO you're a handsome guy you'd find a nice girl but comedy comedy you have a family by now I would you'd have a bunch of kids kids and a dog I think about that have to get the dog trained cuz it runs in this train pretty much damn it like entertainment is such a rested development because all that all the trappings of a traditional life are weight if you're trying to make it with a certain thing so I think we hit these benchmarks later in life and it's hard especially when you have like parents who there's a certain time to be doing certain things yeah right like I should have a house I should have a wife I should have kids I should have a dog but to do what we do is so labor intensive and hard and so it delays your life a few years or at least for these traditional benchmarks yeah you can't if you're gon to go down this road it's 10 years before you're any good yeah it's a long ass Road I mean you can get pretty good
before then but to to really like get say like I think that's okay I think other people can listen to this I think other people can watch this it's like 10 years and also to get some footing career-wise and finan only in the last couple of years have I felt kind of comfortable in this as a profession cuz when I left Boe it just felt like did I make a mistake is you can't see the other end of the shore yeah so it's it's hard operating from that space of like is this a viable career um am I have I do I have I pled enough roots in the comedy game and and like things are better now so if you're good and you believe you're good you got to burn the boats yeah you got to burn the boats I well I wouldn't have been doing it if I didn't believe that I had the aptitude if you have a boat to get back to your air conditioned house and eat mangoes you're going to get back on the [ __ ] boat you got to burn the boat yeah 100% And gataka you ever watch gataka it's one of my favorite movies watch a little bit of it it's so good Ethan ha um Thurman I think yes about genetics and stuff I was confusing it with a television show oh but there's this poignant scene which one am I confusing battar galac no I watched all that battar Galactica is [ __ ] amazing balar is that is one of the most underrated series the second I was watching it when it was on sci-fi and they're shooting the movie about chrisper before chrisper existed GAA that's so good man that's right um so there's two brothers one of them is Gen genetically designed and everything he has all the gifts of technology and then Ethan Hawk is like a natural baby which is kind of a second class citizen so they're kind of they clean they're like janitor and stuff and there's this point in the movie where they used to race or they used to swim and uh the genetically Superior brother would always beat the the natural baby Ethan Hawk and then when they kind of lose touch and at the end they do it one last time you know and so Ethan Hawk is winning and and this isn't supposed to be happening and he's like how are you doing this and he's like I never saved anything for the swim back and just that quote it just [ __ ] hits me because he's doing what's not
supposed to be happening you know Jesus it's a good movie it's my favorite I mean if there's one takeaway from me doing Joe Rogan podcast it's watch gataa one time I showed it to a girlfriend I don't think I've seen this whole movie I think this is one of those movies that I started and something happened I got distracted and I stopped watching please watch it I will I have so many of them man I can't keep up I can't keep up I did watch op inimer though [ __ ] fascinating yeah I didn't know him and Einstein were boys that was cool I know they talked pawned that much yeah I wonder how much that's legit you know you can write a lot it looks good you can write a lot of nonsense into a movie after someone's dead and then he said [ __ ] ain't [ __ ] I never said that I never [ __ ] said that say that I mean you could really you could kind of like paint a person for sure you know that was a thing that a big criticism that people had from uh the Bruce Lee scene in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood but that was obviously comedy that was interesting when that that really I read it as comedy Tarantino kind of defended it and he said that Bruce Lee was like known for being very arrogant and he said something about he he' beat Muhammad Ali in a fight I'm like that's crazy if you really said that that's so insanee BR Lee was 135 pounds Muhammad Ali at the time was 220 225 the the greatest boxer of all time heavyweight knocking out a heavyweight that would have been a great UFC match if you're talking about him in like 1967 before they made him retire for three years he was insanely good like if you want to watch how good Muhammad Ali was watch Muhammad Ali in 1967 when he fights Cleveland Big Cat Williams I always tell him watch that fight because Cleveland Williams is this murderous puncher and Muhammad Ali is putting on a show he's dancing and moving like you can't believe like no heavyweight before him remotely moved like him it's so hard to put it in perspective now cuz we think about Fighters now like we've seen so many great heavy weights we've seen so many great welterweights and light heavyweights and this the world of boxing we have so much footage but back then in 1967 there was nobody doing that where's
your footage where you want you you're going to get a projecting screen and sit down if it's not on TV you're not going to see it so you watch whatever the [ __ ] they show you on TV and no one had ever seen a guy moved like that especially in the heavyweight division he moved Like Sugar Ray Robinson who was 147 pounder is there anyone comparable you would say nowadays like that no there's no one there's no one comparable in terms of like how different they were than everyone before them he was so different can you pleas show me some of the Cleveland Big Cat Williams Muhammad Ali highlights bro he was so different he would knock guys out moving backward you know he he decided when he would take it up a notch he he put put different Paces on you pop the jab on you move make you miss a bunch of times make you feel stupid drop his hands pop you again pop you again move around move around you can't catch them and when you're thinking about boxing in 1967 there's no heavyweights that move like this they don't exist man this guy is a freak so everybody before him moves like Cleveland does you know moving forward look at the land the big Power shots and look how big Cleveland was Jesus Christ as he jacked look at the [ __ ] arms on that guy murderous puncher very dangerous guy and alli's just dancing in front of him just shuffling and dancing just out of range and then eventually he starts catching them just starts tuning him up scoot your head a little bit here so once he gets loose he starts opening up with combinations and he moves away and Cleveland moves forward he pops him with the jab pops him with a hook and now Cleveland's befuddled right because now you know I can't hit this [ __ ] guy and he can hit me anytime he wants which is just that's not how boxing is in the heavyweight division yeah you have big Power punchers with big Jabs and guys with great technique you got Joe Lewis and you know you got Floyd Patterson you got all these different great heavyweights but none of them fight like this [ __ ] guy none of them fight like this guy charge kind of was the style before all just sort of like slow and steady well everybody was just power punchers in the heavyweight division they just move forward they would throw good Jabs they had good
boxing fundamentals but they didn't move with the footwork like that that footwork was insane so if you're standing in front of them the realization after three or four rounds of this is like I can't take too many more of these he's not hitting me with one knockout punch but he's hitting me 150 times in the face and he's hitting me in a way that I can't hit him back look at this popping this jab just moving an e effortlessly he would run miles backwards there's the one two that's it that's the beginning of it he would run miles backwards backwards run backwards this was just insane cardio too insane cardio insane dedication so this is the one of the most tragic from a boxers a boxing fan perspective one of the most tragic things in boxing is that they took it away from him for three years and he was never really this guy again this guy that you see here in 607 he stopped training when he came back and and and fought after that he just didn't look like the same guy he wasn't the same guy physically he didn't you know maintain his training during those three years off look at that dude look how good he was I mean are you [ __ ] kidding me are you [ __ ] kidding me so that was like the most revolutionary thing in boxing like that guy in 1967 like one of the most revolutionary things ever to see a heavyweight move like that and and then you got Tyson in the 80s yeah and then he was out of his prime too for a bit right yep yeah but he had already was he Saved by the Bell right here I thought this was the end of the fight no it's not he gets up bro they just let people [ __ ] they let people just be out cold right there's like the famous photo though right where he's standing over him or is that no no that's a sunny Lon photo that's when he knocked Sunny Liston out in Leon Maine and they said it was a fixed fight and it looks a little suspicious have you ever seen that one no knowing that a lot of people suspect that this is a fake fight and that Liston really wasn't hurt that bad that he took a dive watch this okay because you watch like how he's trying to get up you're like as a person who's seen a lot of people get knocked out I've seen probably more people that get knocked out watch it here's the right end it's a solid right hand
absolutely legit no doubt about it but watch how Liston goes down so a lot of people said that it was a phantom punch it's not a phantom punch it's a absolute watch this over the top boom see the jaw shift that's a real punch that's a real knockdown that's not a dive but what happens is when Liston goes down so he throws his jab Ali comes over the top and bang that's a 100% legit punch but when Liston goes down that's when it gets Shenanigans see if they scoot ahead to watch if they is this just okay just show me the actual knockout don't know there it is is that it it's you go so you gotta see when he gets up because when he gets up that's when it looks fake when he gets up when he's down no this is like a bunch of different fights see if you can find it did you box or you're always doing uh I did some kickboxing here it is here it is right here so he not he hits him he knocks him down now watch watch he goes down now this is where it gets a little shenanigan see I'm watching him roll around he gets to his knees and he falls back down it just looks a little like he's not trying to stop himself from going to his back it looks a little funky it looks a little funky so like he gets up and look he's looking away he's not even looking at Ali so they're not deciding yet whether or not the fight is stopped and now Ali is [ __ ] teeing off on them and then they stopped the fight it was very shenan you know it look a little shenanigan he made contact though I don't know but it's also like the humiliation that Lon suffered from the first fight the first fight was 100% legit yeah the first fight when he fought Sunny Liston Sunny Lon was this murderous puncher man he was one of the most murderous punchers ever he [ __ ] up Floyd Patterson so bad he was so dangerous he was so scary and he was a thug like he was a crazy dude like during one of the press conferences see if you can find this uh Ali was talking crazy [ __ ] Liston pulled out a [ __ ] gun he pulled out a gun and shot through the [ __ ] ceiling are these people everybody scrambled are they legit nutty like that or is this partly PR for the fight like if I shoot a gun this will draw eyeballs no no no no no
that was who Sunny Lon was and what Muhammad Ali was doing was trying to get into his head a bullhorn to you you crazy I want to you do you fight me here it is finally came to a head when clay approached L at the desert in in Las Vegas where the champ was shooting craps and losing was in no to be hared by theth from the sou oh shitor into a Hy Retreat the gun was filled with blanks yo he just put it in his in his coat pocket pro blank I'd be terrified dude by the way those could still kill you like people gas out and IT guy did it on a set once he you know was just [ __ ] around with a blank they have so much protocol whenever there's a gun bro that's so scary move quick yeah look how fast his [ __ ] reflexes were he dodged a bullet like legitimately he's talking [ __ ] he dodged fast bro but he would constantly talk [ __ ] at every press conference it got so bad to the point where when they did his uh like the weighin thing like after the weigh-in his heart rate was so high his blood pressure was so high that they had to calm him down or they weren't going to let him fight cuz he just like worked himself up into a frenzy to [ __ ] with Liston he would show up in front of liston's house and yell on his front lawn like he climbed into that dude's head oh I'm sure how crazy to be that gifted as a fighter and that gifted as a [ __ ] talker as well unprecedented [ __ ] talker no one before for him did poetry no one did rhymes like you don't understand he did his work to get inside that my parents were hippies and they had to watch when Muhammad Ali was rematching Leon Spinx because on television that's how much of like a cultural icon that guy was cuz he stood against the Vietnam War and that's why he lost three years of his career when he was in his prime in 1967 he's like I'm not going to Vietnam he goes no Viet Kong ever did [ __ ] to me I'm not doing this and they took away his ability to box for three years and you know my parents were like very anti-war they they were like this is our guy like the whole country was like this m this is a
a person who represented sense he made sense when the world was going crazy and they were talking people into fighting this nonsense war in Vietnam and you could possibly lose your life or lose a leg or lose a friend or lose your father lose your what and he was like [ __ ] that and he was right yeah was it one of those things that it took years to get clarity on it like as a collective whole society whereas at the time he's probably raked over the coals right 100% there was a lot of people that didn't look you you we we had Associated Wars before Vietnam with these just Wars like World War I and World War to we thought of those as just Wars like you're trying to stop evil there's a guy who's hopped up on meth and Germany and he literally literally hopped up on M simp trying to take over the world that's a simple one these are just Wars right by the way they're not simple they're super complicated and there's a lot of but in terms of cartoony bad guys bad guy good guy we're the good guys and and we like to think of ourselves like that so when we're at War if we're at War to stop communism in Vietnam we at the time I think collectively there was a lot of like hardcore [ __ ] Blue Collar Republican type people that were like yeah you got to do what the [ __ ] you have to do to protect Freedom right and you got but then they didn't know that the whole thing was staged they didn't know that that Gulf of tonan incident was a false flag just to justify us getting into that crazy ass War for who knows what reason but there's a lot of them a lot of reasons so now people have a different sort of feeling when it comes to war so you think that was the first at this point I would like to play [ __ ] a war by The Ghetto Boys but uh Spotify will allow this and uh do you know that song Maybe if I heard it bro give me a little bit of this Willie wrote that in 45 minutes that's crazy like how do you [ __ ] great song man it's a great song and it's so it's right he's right yeah he's right and you know it's interesting to see the evolution of rap you know like when it started it was it was like very socially conscious and stuff I know they're still they're still doing that but in terms of what becomes popular on a like pop scale for rap do you know Russ at all it's interesting to hear him talk about he's this hip-hop
artist who's like independent he was on uh flagrant talking about rap and like what happens is a certain type of rap gets popular and then it move it becomes uncool or you move to the next thing like being socially conscious is cool and then just having fun and whing out is cool and then what's the next phase you know yeah yeah so it's not like it doesn't exist it just becomes smaller piece of the larger genre pie and now rap is so big that there sub genres of it like rock you know there's indie rock there's and now there's emo rap there's well there always kind of was the different genres even back in the day like I was always a big day Soul fan yeah same three is the magic number that's a jam son that's a jam and that was very different very different kind of hip-hop but now it's getting so granular like even more so MH yeah so that's just kind of interesting I was like oh yeah did start Third Base how did third B were they like guys goes the weasel goz the weasel goes pop yeah they're white guys you don't remember that did one of a flat top they had like a disc track against uh Vanilla Ice I yeah I like that battle that's fun Pop Goes the Weasel in vanilla is the weasel it's people that go pop people you know they were hardcore Third Base oh Giannis was talking about this what's interesting is that dude eventually went on to host a daytime talk show what was it about which is like the poppiest thing of all time like a Ricky Lake type thing yeah like one of them things did he have the flat top he I believe he kept the flat top when he hosted a show that's impressive though that's an impressive flat top it's a serious flat top I don't even know how you get that going on as a white guy there must be some products involved MC search MC search they're good though man Third Base was good oh yeah yeah they had some great jams and MC search had a great great album himself too it was great they were good but for for whatever reason the white guy rapper there's only one well I me I big one Eminem yeah there's other ones you know there's other great white rappers don't get me wrong but uh he had to be so technically proficient and it's amazing what he had to do to be able to be
accepted he needed the vouch he needed to have the skill set that he has right cuz before him I think young people don't realize that's what's kind of cool about the younger generation like gen Z and stuff is they just like art they don't care what your vessel is right like there's a rapper Rich Brian he's he's Asian and like he's great at rapping you know but he's like an Asian kid whereas before you weren't able to receive um music from a vessel that looks different than what the norm is well and then there was uh my man Everlast house pain that was the best of like the White rap bands by far House of Pain was awesome dude jump around around to this day when that song comes out for the UFC when someone comes out as that song for a walk-in song that is a great [ __ ] fing Walkin song that's a great I'm in the gym song you know that's a great driving song that's a let's [ __ ] go song that's a let's [ __ ] go song oh oh just hearing you know what it is immediately and then that's it that's all we get that's all we get God damn it YouTube been too much I don't know [ __ ] this is the beautiful Freedom that we have on Spotify I think we're going to start doing that Jamie I'm not going to sptify exclusives yeah just have little Clips cut it out for YouTube people know yeah we'll know we'll put the full one out on Spotify the vibe Corner godamn these rules so what is [ __ ] rules how is the New Deal different than like talk it's the new deal it's a big part of it that makes that makes sense yeah after the election cycle then yeah then I could discuss go back to it the bombings right yeah um it's just going to be everywhere now well it's going to be on Apple um Amazon and YouTube as well is on Spotify that's pretty great that's awesome cool so it's kind of like the way it was before the move to Spotify like you're getting some Prett much yeah pretty much but my deals with Spotify right so Spotify and art like it's instead of you know they have a vested interest in being at being successful everywhere uhhuh so we're all in it together oh is that the thought like okay we're drawing people in Via Apple podcast these different YouTube just draw back they'll make money of it being on the other shows too okay it's all good it's good
for everybody yeah it's good and it's uh wider distribution is good and it's just like look people get attached to certain platforms some people are super attached to Apple and I used to be as well I used to get all my podcast on Apple it was uh super convenient it uploads automatically you know you can set it like that so you know when the new episodes are up it's perfect works great um so I get if they didn't want to switch over and listen to Spotify I mean I knew that when we first started doing it I was like a lot of people are going to be like sorry there's a lot of [ __ ] to listen to which is great right it's a [ __ ] great time if you're interested in listening to stuff I mean the amount of audiobooks available are [ __ ] insane it's insane there's you could never go bored you will always get entertained or educated or something there's so many of them but the amount of podcast now are it's Bonkers there's like 5 million podcast yeah I remember years ago talking to Ari at the store this this is maybe like when podcasting was 2.0 or I'm like ah everyone has a podcast and he's like everyone has a TV show they don't stop making TV shows and that was really eye opening to me too like just because there's a lot of them doesn't mean there's no place for new ones and such bro I used to tell so many people to do a podcast that it was a a meme that was annoying I was telling everyone to do a podcast I wasn't right I wasn't correct want to apologize to society I [ __ ] up a couple of times but I I felt like and I do feel like I don't think it's I don't think it's the easiest road but I think if you're a person who's interesting to talk to you could find other people that are also interesting to talk to and sit down and people enjoy it it's like you can do it right but it's going to take some work so if you dedicate yourself to it and try to figure out what you're doing wrong what you're doing right what makes you annoying what's what's more interesting if you do it right like treat it like any other thing you'll get better at it but it's not going to come easy there's too many of them out there but it does it's free it's free you could just do it you could just upload it to YouTube it doesn't cost that much right to put together it's not like
you're filming a sitcom and it costs so much a Sound Stage the overhead is so low to do a podcast so it's it's worth the trial of doing it and also I think just in the standup space it's a great two-hander because you don't always put a special out all the time and like being able to check in with your fans week to week yeah they like that uh just being a part of your live and stuff and then they kind of want to know what your Baseline is off stage as well cuz then they feel closer to you as a performer you know like access is the new mystery I feel like in entertainment whereas before it was like oh Humphrey Bogart or these starlets you you only got glimpses of what they were and but now that's almost like a kiss of death you have to be like hey guys here I am I'm you know I'm at Whole Foods I'm getting like access they want to feel like oh I know you know that's valuable yeah the only guy who's not who doesn't have to play that game anymore is like Daniel de Lewis he can he can make shoes like no one's telling Daniel de Lewis to live tweet well there's certain actors that are on the fringes right not on the fringes meaning they're they're like everybody know knows who they are but they might not be the first pick for a big project right and the only way they think they can keep their name out there is to do stuff so they have to get photographed on red carpets and they have to sometimes they like tell the proparazzi were they going to be they like work things they have publicists that set things up so you can casually see them you know doing something you know like [ __ ] intimate like working out on the beach you know some [ __ ] like that oh you guys are here how crazy I'm oiled up what are the odds yeah there's some silliness to it but I get it it's a business it's your your business is you and this is a business decision that you're making I get it but it's just like that's a different thing than Comics you know with with us the best like the best thing that we have going on is like this network of all of us that's the best thing we have going on because now instead of relying on like Comedy Central to tell you who's good or it's it's a total meritocracy and it's almost always entirely based on are you funny and are you fun are you fun to
hang around with and if you're funny and fun to hang around with yay we're all going to have fun and that's great for everybody it's great for the people that are listening it's great for us it's great form popping that that it's shifted this way and now this is like a viable release route for me like I have the special coming out I get to do this I get to do bad friends I get you don't have to be chosen you don't have to be chosen and also like who better than other comedians to know what's what in the field right it we're we don't have any agenda we're we're in the streets we see what's going on whereas sometimes you get so high up at these corporations they just they're like okay we need this demo we need this person this guy's from this agency that's a favor all this [ __ ] a lot of [ __ ] they should not be in control of this art form it's not their art form it's our art form it's the audience's art form you're seeing the cracks now it's crumbling I mean I have no management now like I like it that way I just have an agency and I'm getting approach sometimes but like we're at a point in entertainment and culture and stuff where like what value does like a '90s type manager have anymore cuz like the blueprint is different now like these Hollywood opportunities don't help me as a standup comedian anymore it depends on what kind of a manager you have so if you have a really good manager a really good manager is very beneficial because they can strategize with you about what you do and what the pros and cons of what you do are and what's the best business decision and how do you feel artistically about your set now have we thought about holding off for six months you have people that are Confidant there's there's value in that if you find the right person and they're keyed into what you're doing but sometimes you go places you're just part of a roster like they're just there's a problem in the same thing it's like factory farming they're factory farming comedy they they try to get as many Comics as they can they're collecting you they're collecting you and hoping you pop exactly and siphon off some 10% but when you're a young comic and you're coming up the idea of being in a management company is a [ __ ] huge deal it's like and it is an opportunity too cuz they
can get you some things that you're not going to get without it for sure also you have to at improves they'll get you some good gigs so it like also where you are in your career like i' i' I'm deep like I have a lot of connections like deep I'm deep dude I know you I'm you know I'm texting you you should you should write that that should be a new special deep Bro Lance stop I'm deep BR bro that's it we're making this happen I'm deep Bro I'm deep Bro the the Bro instantly negates the I'm deep is what I love does though de bro I mean uh Elon Musk can say it yeah people believe him though but you know what I'm saying like he can say I'm deep Bro I'm deep Bro he so deep but some people still mock him it's hilarious to me they call him the stupidest Mark ey live I'm like okay are you going to get a neural link are you going to be are you going to be like a hype Beast just sitting in line waiting I will when I know that it's inevitable I will give up just like all of us will just like the people that wouldn't wear shoes forever and they all right shoes are Sho are pretty good they're way better than no shoes [ __ ] stepping on rocks and [ __ ] Cuts your feet I think it's just funny die from infections the guy who's waiting it out like all right I'll do shoes now yeah yeah yeah get to a certain point he's like yeah they were right you can run away from cats yeah I don't have toxo I don't have toxo anymore I think at a certain point in time everyone's going to get something there's going to be some benefits to whatever it is that some interface whether you wear it or whether it's a part of your body there's going to be benefits that you can't get without it have have you done that Apple Vision Pro yet I have not I am scared I am scared I am scared of Apple Vision Pro oh how I don't want to be walking around my [ __ ] house are you afraid you're going to like things 100% I'm afraid I'm going to be sitting in my office watching movies instead of doing [ __ ] that I should be doing they show images of people on a plane with an apple Vision Pro I would just be so mortified to have that strap to my head on a plane I would definitely strap it to my head on a plane really yeah man you're in a [ __ ] plane wouldn't you rather watch a giant 3D movie it's just so it just looks you can watch Avatar in
3D on this [ __ ] plane while you're smelling that guy next to you farts right that is pretty [Laughter] cool you're in the [ __ ] jungle and all a sudden you're like Jesus Christ it's just funny to think of an apple Vision Pro then going like oh bro smelling people's farts on planes one of the worst Parts about flying well you ever get a seat that's right I mean not anymore for you but like you're next to the laboratory you're like oh great smell particles the whole [ __ ] time just breathing in poop steam yeah sometimes I don't I don't book a seat because it'll be extra if you do it ahead of time and then you just if you leave it to the machine sometimes you get [ __ ] bro dropping a log on a public flight is a nightmare yeah that's like Joker [ __ ] it's a nightmare you get in there you got to drop a log it's kind people waiting to get in it's kind of thrilling if youve ever [ __ ] on a plane it's the Pinnacle of Technology kind of you like [ __ ] the wheel being able to [ __ ] in the sky yeah sometimes I think about like man what if the plane was see-through or something you know what's Wild is that sometimes when that [ __ ] you know it basically freezes into like a brick and sometimes like people have been hit by it they just drop it I don't know how they dispose of it normally but I know that like people's houses have been hit by [ __ ] bricks but they get a nice little payout huh I would hope you get a good payoff if frozen [ __ ] from 250 passengers falls from the sky and hits your [ __ ] house you have a neck bra oh a frozen piece of [ __ ] from a Delta flight rocked me but I got I got the money I deserve normally get rid of that stuff Jamie I'm they probably imag they pump it when they land or something I would imagine that's how they do it now but I do know that there's at least one story that I read about a a house that got hit with a rock of [ __ ] like some irresponsible [ __ ] cargo plane they like they Dave Matthews it you remember that story when they dropped a bunch of [ __ ] like from the tour bus and it landed on some people the Dave Matthew tour bus they got they got in trouble for that yeah they dump [ __ ] from their tour I don't think Dave

biggest feature I use on this watch is like when I'm cooking and I'm like set timer for 2 minutes like I'm Dick Tracy right I use it for laundry I just use it as a timer that's like the big cell to me well you know redband is like a giant te I imagine he's on an Apple Vision right now yeah most likely the most earliest adopter he has an neuralink right now I'm sure he'll get that for sure yeah he'll he'll be the first to take he's like he's like it it's got some Kings yeah probably should have waited probably should have waited till they're gonna fix it though I'm giving some notes to Elon but but but it's good I'm glad I did it if you do get it you will have such an advantage that's the problem if it does work the thing is like if it works and what are the side effects and how long does it last what if it breaks and what if Russia hacks it you're speaking Russian what if they hack it what if like the moment it gets to a certain number of people that have it China flips a switch I mean just something H being in your brain is such a big cell right like it's a hard cell that's a [ __ ] hard cell but then there's toxoplasmosis which is in there for 40% of us what is plasmosis the stuff we talked about earlier the cat thing ah toxo [ __ ] you just willingly get willingly get toxo yeah maybe the the the cell phone thing will be like a neurological electronic toxo what what is the promise of neuralink well initially the first person that they did it on which is fairly recently is a person who's paralyzed and through neuralink he can now move a cursor around and he can do things and and he's going to be able to like Express himself he the way Elon said at the speed of a Carnival Barker yeah he be able to those guys are fast they're fast very fast very fast so the idea is that he'll be able to communicate which is for a person who's been paralyzed and can't operate a cursor or a computer is huge right so that's one thing the there eventually think they may be able to use it to let people who have been paralyzed move like a walk again yeah what is the work that's been done on that specifically Jamie see I don't want to talk out of school the people being able to eventually they hope that it'd be able to restore movement to people with uh
nerve damage right now I think there's still when I've looked this up online there's a little bit of a push back from some people because the only way that this has been announced that it works is just elon's tweet there hasn't been any other proof I guess if you will I'm all in if Elon tweeted it it's got to be legit yeah he's a wild boy he's so wild he just tweets things does he come by the club a lot he's been the club how's he been in the club I imagine he's so busy doubt he hanging there every day no I don't think he has been he might have came down when Dave was here oh um but uh it's awesome having him around he's a fascinating dude I mean how exciting for the comics like yo elon's here well he came to a bunch of our shows we at stubs oh cool yeah it's like that was when there was nothing to do you well I got to do one of those stubs shows so had that writing job it was like Willie Wonka you're like hey I'm doing a show with me and Chappelle at stubs do you want to and I'm literally like writing a sick you know I'm in a writer's room and it's like kind of boring and to get this awesome like call call to the you know Bullpen like yo do you want to come like yeah let me ask them real quick I go and I still have to add I'm like hey guys uh I might do a show Joe Rogan and Dave Chappelle lat can I leave like 30 minutes early and they're so cool they're like yeah yeah go it's like a romcom like what are you doing go after her ROM you know cuz like this is very cool for for them I'm I'm like very fortunate they're very supportive and stuff and standup is kind of like Rockstar and they were very cool like yeah please take the go leave 30 minutes early do the show tell us how it is yeah I'm so envious like have fun right and then you pick me up in your [ __ ] muscle car like it it keep getting better and better and better you know it gets more absurd like I told you I was going to pick you up in the coolest car you've ever seen in your life yeah you go you'll hear it coming and literally you you show up smells like a boat that thing's America yeah and then Chappelle you showed him the car I remember after the show and he's he's just like floored this he's like what oh let me check take out let me check this thing out blah
blah and he was loving the car and then we drove to the after PR yeah this was just such a surreal night for me um because we do the show it's amazing it's an alternate universe where ComEd is happening and it's not happening in La you know the show's amazing it's fun and then and then we I'm just laying in the cut I don't want to overextend I'm just so grateful to be doing to be asked to do the show and you already drove me so all the comics and Dave's friends and stuff are are piled in the car Dave is in the passenger seat and then you're like hey fem get in like I wasn't even gonna ask I was going to Uber I was just gonna be forgotten you know right but you're like bee get in so Dave Chappelle has to like do the human thing of of like pushing his seat up so I'm like excuse me Mr Chelle can I you know so I'm I'm having a squish Chappelle to get into the back of this car and then you just like you're ripping ripping in this thing and I just thought like man if I died in this car I would not make the article it would say Joe Rogan Dave Chappelle and like two other guys died you know what I mean they probably mention your name dude I don't know I don't know but at that moment at that moment no I would be a guy but that was such a fun experience just like what a wild night yeah it was very fun those shows at stubs were like um medicine you know didn't really realize how much we needed have a good time and the crowds too they were so appreciative that's one of the things I noticed when I was doing standup out here is the thirst and like it was human nature for as much as we needed it the audience needed it too yeah to have that kind of release and something to go to rather than just being in your house all day yeah yeah people felt trapped and they didn't it didn't make sense when a bunch of them one of the things we did at the shows of the Vulcan like how many guys had Co and like more than half the crowd would raise their hands you know mhm you go who wants to get it tonight people on stage open your mouth like you've been baptized yeah it was weird the power of Co compels you people started treating it like a regular cold you know they well that's I feel like that's what it is now kind of it
definitely is now unless you're insane you're one of those people that talks outside with a [ __ ] mask on like there's still some people that are insane they're just insane but it's it's also a leftist flag I say it's like the democrat's Maga hat if you wear that mask unless you're an old person and you're really scared and you have a bad immune system I get it when I see at the grocery store it's like it's like seeing someone in a throwback jersey you know what I mean like okay it's like a cool old Mariners Jersey a lot of people that still believe in it they still believe you could breathe through something and it protects you from a terrible disease could you imagine like thinking that the plague is in this neighborhood like like some [ __ ] 28 days later disease in this neighborhood you can just put a little paper mask over your face you're good you feel comfortable how about what's going in your eyes stupid because that's one of the major ways that people get infected it's through eye contact through hand to eye right like you your eyes like people sneeze you get it in your eyes you ever see you [ __ ] dummy you're breathing air how's it get into your face you'll see um like rapid covid testing places on corners and I almost look at those as like a psychic spot you know what I mean kind of has the same feel like who going these super inaccurate I know a bunch of people who tested negative turned out to be positive it's uh It's Tricky man that [ __ ] disease keeps mutating it's a bunch of hundred different [ __ ] strains now who knows how many how many different variants are there now yeah how many it's like five six how many variants are there seven how many how many covid variants have been identified let's find that out let's take a guess this is the I say there's 14 I say say 15 I'm going to price this right you let's go 15 I hope it's 14 come on what's the low number you think it is uh eight I think seven I'm going to price this right you [ __ ] [ __ ] I got to walk behind the set of prices right while it was taping really it was kind of not yeah cuz like my girlfriend at the time was Drew Cary doing it yeah oh Drew car awes he's a great dude like during during the strike he was paying everyone like uh there's that Diner swingers he was paying
everybody's bill so it if you could get a free meal oh wow as a nice guy just as part of the writer strike like if you were in the wga or whatever uh all your meals were covered that's amazing yeah good for him that's beautiful he's everybody says he's great stand up guy he came by the Hollywood improv one time that was kind of cool cuz he's not a guy who like Pops in a ton yeah I met him at the Improv one night and he was uh given really good advice to some young comic what was the advice who's saying just if you could write one minute joke every day just write one joke every day over time yeah like you'd be surprised at how much material you can write that's how I feel about writing totally you just kind of build it in pieces and then if you are regimented regimented about it uh when you look back at your notes it's it's you've done all the work I always feel like it's like mining you know that like sometimes I fck just hit rocks I'm just hitting rocks but every now and then if I keep mining I find something cool um variance of concern so that's there's classifications right I guess we could play this game how many variants of concern currently yeah let's be concerned okay let's okay let's let's start with that how many variants of concern are there there's three three variants of concern we way off but there are Omron variants okay there's a under monitoring which has got two so we're at five so it's five under and now de escalated there over 50 of that w just over 50 holy [ __ ] dude I don't know how they classify them bro that's crazy there's 50 variants no longer circulating like just not hip anymore yeah it's just there's different spike mutations of Interest oh God yeah I don't know all how scary is all that stuff how scary is they they keep doing this gain of function research they're like let's just keep oh is that is that how Co started the gain of function that's the primary Theory what is gain of function gain of function is when you take a a virus and you engineer it to make it so that it works on humans so they'll take a virus that works on bats and they'll engineer it so that human beings can catch it let us what a great idea and they make it like super contagious also a great idea for those familiar unfamiliar with
gain of function research is essentially means juicing up naturally occurring animal viruses in a lab to make them more infectious amongst humans this practice is nothing new scientists in the United States have long known how to mutate animal viruses to infect humans sure yeah the practice is nothing new it doesn't mean it's not a [ __ ] terrible idea like what good has come out of it that's my question do you guys know how to stop these things from happening because it seems like he didn't stop that last one so what benefit are we getting from the potential of you unleashing deadly super viruses to the world and is this a thing where because you can do it you do it because you can get funding because that's what you studied in school they just got bored let's try this bad thing well it's with their businesses right what's your business my business is studying viruses can I get research to study vir can I get funds well if you agree with what we say and publicly we'll give you funds and you can do research and oh it's not legal for us to fund that research why don't we fund this company and that company F the re we could say I don't know what you're talking about and then you know could change what you describe as gain of function and you could say I am the expert I am science and that's what we went through we went through that for three [ __ ] years it's all about funding man and at the end of the day it's pretty clear that [ __ ] came from a lab it's pretty clear to all the people that are making any [ __ ] sense that aren't gaslighting the [ __ ] out of you yeah I always thought about like what if you're the guy who loved batwing soup and and was it was getting a bad rap unnecessarily right like guys it's not the Batwing soup and now he's is Vindicated like yes I told I can continue eating the soup I can keep eating Pengalin stew yeah you gave my stew a bad name yeah remember they were trying to pin in on the pangalan that was hilarious that South Park episode was amazing weird animal oh freakiest freakiest little animal like a little dinosaur kind of a cute guy though again just like that [ __ ] Turtle if that thing was gigantic storming through a village imagine I mean imagine a monster like it's eating ants here but imagine just
eating humans imagine just plowing through some [ __ ] thatch Huts that tongue just slicing you in half just ripping people's legs apart in front of their families just chewing them choking them down you have you eaten bugs giant penglin yeah I've eaten a bunch of bugs I hosted Fear Factor son oh so is that part of it you had to eat it as being host I I did it because like I did it to get people to do it like if they were like I can't do it I'm like you can look I'll do it I'll do it easy I just grab I grabb a roach and I just ch I did it to a couple different things I ate a few different things any what's your take on the bugs are some of them pretty good or they roaches are surprisingly tast gross e yeah and it was a big one a Madagascar hissing cockroach Alive or Dead Alive I just grabbed him and ate him um they're surprisingly tasteless you get over the fact that you're eating a bug and the squish in your mouth but it doesn't taste like much and the thing about bugs is people have been eating bugs forever animals have been eating bugs forever I mean bugs this is me look at so C beaut back then watch going choke this thing down a bro oh the crunching yeah it was very crunchy Jesus I was laughing at the same time too were the crew people like you don't have to do this no I I was doing it to try to get this girl to do it did she do it she W up eating worms instead which I thought was worse we made a deal with her two worms two worms are a roach what was the thought when you did Fear Factor I heard it was the you you like you didn't love acting as much is that what it was well the process of sitcoms is great when it's up and running but it's brutal to begin like the the the early days of news radio I love that show by the way like I loveed watching it that was like 16-hour days like you work crazy long days and the writers are busting their ass and the actors are everyone's tired the crew's tired it's hard to put together those [ __ ] shows I thought sitcom was a better schedule like I heard these 16- hour days or with single cams and stuff once they get going the thing is you have to figure out a way to make it a well oiled machine and that takes a long time it take the actors have to be in line they have to figure out who whose strengths are the writers have to be in line the
they have to get support from the network It's a Grind man did you guys eventually get to a eventually got to the point where we didn't even have to work five days a week we only work four days a week and one of the days was just a table read so we'd come in there would be a table read then there'd be some revisions the writers would would get together and they'd come up with new scripts and the writers were crazy they would they would write like really late at night like that was their thing to get silly to like be exhausted yeah yeah just Delirious yeah they just get completely delirious and write the most ridiculous [ __ ] was really fun they would come stumbling in like barely awake at like 9 in the morning when we're all there they had just finished you know and some of them sometimes they didn't finish sometimes they had like one half of the script and they were still tightening up the second half so they'd give you the first half of the script you'd work on it until lunch everybody eat lunch and then they would come back with the second half of the script and you'd work the rest of it out and in the beginning it was was exciting and it was fun and everything but I was like I this is not my jam you know this is really fun to do fun to do thanks it's fun acting's fun with fun people but eventually I was like I just like doing standup and I like doing other things and then this show Fear Factor was like I was like this is going to get canceled immediately like you're sicking dogs on people on television and making them eat animal dick like I'm in let's go you going to make a ride Bulls okay I'm like okay so they came to you first you were First Option they go do you want to host this show well they didn't know who was going to host it they they met with a bunch of people and it was NBC right it was NBC so I had just been on NBC for news radio and so I had a relationship with them and so then when this came up it was just like uh they they said you know there was two thoughts one have someone host it that was like a like a sports guy you know like fear is not a factor for them like down the middle or someone who's like laughing while this crazy [ __ ] was going on so they chose me so that's I think it worked better it worked out well you had
to make fun of some of it because it was so crazy that you were doing this and some of the things I was like don't do it I tell people don't do it like the bull riding I'm like don't do it they're not paying you enough for this no one's paying you enough to ride a [ __ ] bull you get kicked in the head by a bull your life has changed forever I'm like I'm not g do whatever you want to do but you don't have health insurance I I told them all like I wouldn't do it they were trying to tell me that it was stunt bulls that bull does not know it's a stunt bull that bull thinks it's a [ __ ] bull it doesn't even know what a stunt bull is that's a giant [ __ ] angry animal that doesn't want you on its back and you're getting like untrained people and you're putting a helmet on them and a chest plate data entry guy hopping on a bowl hoping their arm doesn't get shattered into a [ __ ] million pieces if they're lucky they get kicked in the face yeah terrifying some I see shows like wipe out even I'm like I why would I risk this with really yeah they just love people getting [ __ ] up yeah well it's like hey this is the game we play I guess and then also you we saw that guy jumping over the Bulls that guy's out of his [ __ ] mind too but he's he's willingly doing that and he's in he's in control he's not being thrust into it you know this is his life but in their defense there are people that go on Fear Factor or that went on Fear Factor that were like serious [ __ ] athletes and and they excelled at a lot of these things and you're like oh well if you're like a real athlete you could do some of this [ __ ] and you could do it better than everybody else just like you could play football better than everybody else or wrestle better than everybody else so it wasn't all eating [ __ ] phys lot of physical stunts like we had a celebrity one one and the The Miz WWE Miz he was on it he won that [ __ ] dude's an athlete like a real athlete like he held his breath underwater while he was swimming for like two [ __ ] minutes or three minutes it was something crazy he was doing some stunt they had to dive in the water and do a bunch of [ __ ] and come out I forget what it was but I was like that guy's a stud cuz like that is hard like me as a person who's like I've
I've tried to hold my breath for long periods of time underwater I've swam I'm like that's [ __ ] hard to do that water's cold as [ __ ] which really freaks you out when you get in there everything like tightens up if you're not accustomed to jumping into cold water it's very difficult to stay relaxed and this dude's swimming around in there for like three minutes like that's an animal yeah so there's like yeah you shouldn't ride a bull but some of those [ __ ] things that people do it's like if you're a real athlete you can excel at a lot of these things what was the grand prize for these things depend on the show I mean some shows we gave away a million dollars but that was only a couple of them most of the time they got like I think it was 50 Grand but then after taxes it's only like 34 the government's like I ate those dicks we ate those dicks the government's like where's my money where's my cut the government didn't eat any dicks and they get 16 Grand yeah Uncle Sam didn't eat dicks yeah they e zero dick and they get 16 I got to give my dick money this guy all the dick you get 34 yeah fortunately you know praise the baby Jesus nobody got hurt oh that's good nobody got really hurt I mean people get like sprain angles I'm sure it was an ironclad contract that these people signed I'm sure it was nuts I'm sure it was nuts but I legitimately thought it was going to be canceled immediately and it lasted how long six [ __ ] years 148 episodes and then we came back and did it six more and then it got canceled the second time because people had to drink jizz cuz it got got released it got released on TMZ they uh they got a hold of the the video and the photo somebody leaked it what kind of jizz donkey jizz which is just useless jizz how so was it mule jizz or donkey jiz I think it was call donkey jiz I think it's you like the mule J it's sterile jizz it's you can't like mules you can't they can't um impregnate anyone yeah I don't think they called it donkey jiz though I well that's what it's I think it might have been actually mule jizz cuz that was the cheapest stuff that's the budget you know there's a budget when you're working on a show yeah we can't get the Thoroughbred jizz yeah thorough bread
jizz is super expensive it is it's like gold what is that million of dollars yeah right under that guy that yoga guy like with his oh you ever see that interiew him when he's like people will pay $1 million for one drop of my sperm that's what he said sounds like a lance bit it does it does so this is donkey juice so they called it donkey juice but I think that's because donkey is a funnier name than mule juice that's a good point and so yeah so they had to do it and there was twins so one had to drink urine and one had to drink uh jizz and depending upon your score depending upon how many ounces you had to drink rough stuff ladies and gentlemen and I that's another show where I said don't do it and they're like NBC signed off on it like I don't give a [ __ ] I'm like this is first of all this is outrageous and I've seen a lot of stuff high as a Kai okay I'd never did that show sober from episode like four on I would take pot Edibles before every show I was like let's go it made it fun I'm sure it enhanced the vi experience oh my God it made it so much more fun but that was one day where I was like you guys are freaking me out like don't do this this is a terrible idea did you know that this could be the end like doing this stunt 100% you're making people drink chiz I I couldn't believe that I was the one the voice of reason yeah I was the one it was step it in and go hey guys the guy on the edible you can't make people drink jizz on television while people are eating dinner and the writers are like we think it's good we Workshop you imagine trying to explain that to little kids all over the world what's just I think in other countries they did play it that's why it's still available on YouTube where I could still find that that band episode I think in some countries I think they played it in Holland they played in some European countries they're way more chill with mule jiz out there they're like hey you know yeah it's like nudity in France like they're very cool with old jiz well Fear Factor actually started out in Holland what was it called I think it was called now or Neverland pretty sure it was Holland and then they bought it and then changed it

what fighting is is something that's in human beings DNA and when you see a really great fight between two highly skilled at the peak of condition just Warriors the best in the world and when you see them going to war inside of a cage with these little gloves on and shorts and no shoes on just [ __ ] teeing off on each other it is wild to see there's nothing like it in all of sports nothing like it man a real highlevel championship fight there nothing like it man and I knew people just had to see it and if they could see it they could see what I see CU this is universal it's not like a g like Cricket you could be awesome at Cricket I don't know what the [ __ ] going on I know you're trying to hit that thing with the paddle it doesn't make any sense to me I don't know the rules I'm not interested fighting anyone anyone knows what's going on you know everyone knows what's going on you wheel kick somebody in the head everybody saw that that's crazy what the [ __ ] just happened you get that guy in an arm bar and break his arm like what he just broke his arm this is crazy this is nuts what is this it's just Universal I knew it'd be Universal yeah fighting is pretty Universal like I'll watch these wrestling documentaries they're so good like every wrestling documentary is amazing and I think that's part of the appeal of wrestling they talk about because it's such a it's a play It's so simple fighting you know everyone knows this yeah and there's so many elements you can have on top of like going heel and it's it's dramatic it's inherently dramatic yeah almost the simplest form of entertainment fighting right well in a lot of ways yeah it's also it's such a dangerous game man such a dangerous game you know and it's hard for guys to know when to stop playing it you know it's hard for guys to know when to get out M and you see all the great ones man all the great ones fall and it's just part of the game has anyone got out at the right time or George St Pierre yeah he did it the most intelligently better than anybody he went out as a champion he retired Reed after defending his belt and then he came back and he fought Michael Bisping for the middleweight title and beat him and then retired again said that's it and he's got all of his faculties you talk to him he's great he's super happy
still very healthy and fit still constantly trains martial arts comes to Austin all the time to train with Gordon Ryan and John Doner so he's here all the time and he's just a martial artist I mean and a great spokesperson and a great example of what is possible like that you can be one of the greatest of all time without a doubt George St Pierre will go down in history as one of the greatest mix martial artist of all time for sure he's definitely in the conversation of the goat you know there's a few people that are in that conversation but he's definitely in there but that guy's totally fine today he figured it out he's very smart one of the rare people who just one of the rarest of rare checked out yeah he's he's smart he got out at the right time and he's got all his faculties and he's doing great and that's a beautiful example but for every one of George St Pierre there's guys that leave and you could tell they're slow you tell they're compromised you could tell they've been they've been in some Wars and that sucks too it sucks to see yeah it sucks it sucks to see old guys that are just like just broken down man and a lot of them physically broken down like they can't move well anymore imagine Jes their backs are all [ __ ] up bunch of back surgeries knee surgeries you know it's just such a brutal brutal way to make a living but yeah when I started getting into that man it was like doing porn like people like what are you doing the [ __ ] are you doing why are you getting involved this you have a sitcom career yeah I was on news radio you'll see in a few years you'll see I don't think anybody believed it nobody believed it but I was like look I can't help you well it's I just can only like what I like it's a great lesson to just following what your passion is and then the rest kind of like falls into plays if you're lucky you're just wind up a car thief you know like things can go back you really love it you really love stealing cars though yeah some people do remember that movie with u Charlie Sheen and some other dude I forget the other dude he they would just steal Porsches that dude DB Sweeney is that who it is who's the other dude was in it a fun movie what was it around the era of Gone in 60 seconds or oh before that man it's an old ass movie it

of great cars in this movie spoilers it's a dumbass movie but every guy loved it I'm sure oh yeah the Porsches are awesome it's awesome to watch him speed away in his little por typed in car Charlie Sheen cart movie how many you got another one came up I've never heard of a sci-fi movie called The Wraith what what is that it's like night rider I don't know what is this movie 1986 Phantom a wraith man I love old trailers given another chance uh are you new in town yeah who's the kid I on my back and the next second he was there like magic almost oh he's look at that s what is that it's a cyber truck dude oh what is this oh my God people ah he's in ity Queen he's kind of going off the rails right yeah is is he yeah yeah he went a little off the rails y boy this movie looks dumb as [ __ ] yeah never heard of it it was the year before you know he was in one good movie that people sleep on it was a science fiction movie who Randy Quade no no Charlie Sheen the arrival no oh I love that movie well is that it it's called Uh isn't the arrival the there's two of them the arrival I love the Dennis there's the new one where the SP look like a coffee bean rival yeah oh cuz they're both have the same name I love this movie but this is the this is the Charlie Sheen one this is really good this one is like underrated I agree very underrated sci-fi movie the aliens are weird like the leg thing yeah such a great reveal it's cool it's a cool movie it's like it doesn't get the credit it deserves it's actually a cool movie but then there's the other arrival which is really Co I like that one too that one's amazing cuz that one to me feels more like what it probably would be how do we communicate with these being that guy who did sakario so original he doing Dune too he did the first one that oh that's just arrival and the other one is the arrival correct arrival is a [ __ ] great movie it's a great movie yeah what's the best alien movie of all time it has to be alien I mean it's right there that has to be number one that's the best what's in contention you think nothing alien and that's it it's alien and then there's everybody else playing for second best H what about independence
day that's kind of like ah it's hilarious that's not like pretty goddamn good too Close Encounters is pretty [ __ ] amazing that might be the best UFO alien movie but the best like in space alien movie is alien trying to be serious cuz I say men and black is a good movie but good point that's a comedy you know it's not even serious it's a fun movie it's a fun movie but as far as movies you'd say you have to see this movie like the original alien Ridley Scott that movie is [ __ ] incredible that movie is so good and that was a movie where Sigourney Weaver was the lead badass woman which was a rare thing was that the first of that archetype that kind I believe so I believe so if I if I had think like a successful mainstream movie superheroine The by snatchers is up there can I rep real quick where is yeah yeah yeah we'll pee we'll be right back everybody you know and we're back and we're back what were we just talking about soury Weaver and Aliens so she had to be the first superh heroine the first lead action movie Badass woman who was before her I don't know who would be before her Jackie Brown no that was after that was after after M what was Jackie Brown that's Tarantino mind because alien was 79 I missed that one but yeah there'd be no Michelle Rodriguez without Sigourney Weaver the tank top hot she was in Aliens 2 she was in Aliens 2 with Sigourney Weaver how many aliens are there four five or six well there's a bunch now cuz the alien the Covenant that's a really good one m was it was the last one there was Prometheus and then the Covenant Covenant was the last one right is that correct you see the new Predator yes is it good were you talking about the one with the Native American lady it's on I think it was on Hulu that's dope okay okay that's fun check it out that's fun it's ridiculous but it's fun it's good is it as good as the Charlie Sheen Porsche Heist movie almost almost okay it's basic it's close if it's close I'm I'm game it's fun it's a fun movie so female John Wick with aliens I'm sold I'm sold they even went like when they gave up they went Predator versus Alien remember that oh yeah yeah what the [ __ ] are you doing I feel like there was a
Taco Bell tiin I'm sure yeah why not why wouldn't it be brown you weren't really wrong cuz Pam Greer's Jackie Brown right oh there was one before so she was playing she was in movies in the 70s that's why she was Jackie Brown I think right what movies was she in in the 70s though Foxy Brown Foxy Brown the thing about it is though I don't think they were big action movies like when you got a budget like a Sigourney Weaver is the lead of a rip Ripley Scott film and it's a giant budget it's a crazy movie that was a huge hit that movie was a huge hit he did Gladiator too yes they're doing Gladiator Scott has done he did one of the aliens first one was only 11 million budget that's it yeah damn so it was but but it had big actors right that one dude Tom sherik whatever the [ __ ] his name is what his name in retrospect maybe I don't know that was big at the time I was this is five years before what's his name Tom what SK skirret Tom skirret yeah he played uh the captain that's a it's a crazy ass [ __ ] movie man that's a good movie because that's probably what it's going to be like it's probably going to be like parasites just like parasites on Earth I mean there's a lot of different instances in the wild of creatures doing that like there's that why wasp that uh injects tarantulas with its uh with its babies it kills spiders it injects them with its babies and the babies like feed off the carcass of the of the spider that's crazy they're so evil isn't there one where there's like this parasite that grows out of an ant's head oh yeah yeah that's Corps mushrooms that's what's that movie uh The Last of Us is based on so good I love that show show great it shows great someone maybe it was a Reddit thread they were saying cuz they tried to poured over video game movies for so long and they could never get it right and I think the person in this thread was saying like the the kids are finally old enough in becoming directors where they can do it the source Material Justice whereas before it's just these people who like who are trying to make a Mortal Kombat film but they didn't grow up with they don't have a love letter to it you know yes yes and now we're getting to see great video game IP flourish like the last of us is
phenomenal yeah but it also has to be something like HBO where someone's willing to let someone you know get really wild yeah you know like that would be hard that was HBO right yeah it'd be hard to do anywhere else like HBO Game of Thrones Sopranos they'll they'll go out there with a show you know yeah when I was coming up I mean just the video game movies that existed there was Street Fighter with vanam there was there was Mortal Kombat so as a kid you were you loved watching these movies but they weren't good Dragon's Lair wasn't there a Dragon's Lair movie I don't know if there is that a game I don't know remember Dragon Lair was a game that everybody used play Mario Brothers Dragon's Lair was a game that everybody used to play in like the 1980s and it was like uh a cartoon uh of each thing that you did you get to see whether or not you were successful so you would do this little move and if you slipped and fell or if the the the Knight got you or a dragon got you you would die but you get to see how you would die so instead of it being like an interactive cartoon it was like semi interactive like you've made the right choices it would do do the right thing and the character would do the right thing and then you would you would be hitting your joystick getting it to go through these doors and then every time you did it like this little video would play out it was very addictive and it was the first time there was ever anything like this where there was like a game that you could watch like a cartoon movie uh and depending upon whether you did the right thing or the wrong thing you would see this happen or see you get killed so that's 1983 full playthrough so this is all the things that you would have to do to to be successful and every time you would do it You' this little video would play out is it kind of Prince of Persia e well it's like you know Dragons and Knights and [ __ ] it was fun but you know compare that to World of Warcraft or compare that to you know what's the big one that Diablo the new Diablo or compare that Call of Duty Dy that's just crack that's just straight heroin did you ever see this game this was an arcade game that was like dragon slayer this was the only thing that was
really cool about this is this was Holograms so this was like floating above your controllers you controlled it a lot like dragons Lair that's how it worked it was like these weird little videos that would play like an old west character but it's all Holograms like this doesn't do any justice to why how cool it was oh so in real life when you're watching on the video screen it's a hologram yeah it was very strange whoa It's like in the 90s and arcades that's how I remembered it that's I remember busted that blank a little too close to that dude's body for my liking oh you didn't you know they didn't edit that out it's not like they had one guy and they spliced in the second guy that guy was right in front $4 I got paid by fortnite they they used my dancing in a emote really and they they paid me they paid me like five grand nice what' you buy with it uh just like more fortnite stuff no I'm just kidding N I have no idea what I spent with it but it kind of cool cuz I post the dance videos sometimes and I guess their programmers found one of my YouTube like it had no views mhm maybe they're comedy fans that's how they found out but like they just hit me up and they go hey the game's going to use this excerpt of you dancing as like a skin or like an emote will give you five grand and I was like [ __ ] yeah wow it's still one of my favorite credits in Hollywood because it's just so weird and bizarre that you're in fortnite I have a fortnite dance called No but I know it's really popular so it's called the vibin emote so if you look at the vibin emote that's dancing oh [ __ ] let me see that yeah so they just took an excerpt from like me when I was dancing in my apartment in Korea Town cuz some sometimes if I like really like a song I'll just set the camera up and dance to it yeah that's me there's so many little kids that probably know the [ __ ] out of this dance it looks very different than you bro that's true they could have just done that they didn't have to pay you no you needed me dud you needed me as the I think they could have just paid you I just want to put this out there fortnite I have more dances if you need more moves yeah I don't think they needed to pay you for that I think they could have just kned that in if they were like less
scrupulous probably but I think they were under hot water because it was a moment in time where people were kind of upset that they were lifting some of the dances like remember that remember that backpack kid the floss dance remember that the little kid yeah remember he was like his name is backpack kid I guess as a meme you talking about the kid on the Boat N you know this this this is so dumb you see the little kid on the boat no but remember this dance mhm yeah some kid in a backpack invented it really and then they fortnite used the dance and then there was some sort of hey people should be getting paid the Carlton they put in there and there was this gray area of like should we pay these people so this kid is saying that that was his move and they stole it well they probably patched it up and played nice and everything but he's the inventor of that dance really invented it himself yeah there's no dispute I don't know if anybody else claimed it or tried to say that it was them what's that called flossing yeah it's a strange move too so I don't know how he wouldn't have it's pretty cool yeah yeah I like watching people do silly dances some dude did this Michael Jackson thing the other day like he he high five this dude and then immediately started moonwalking and it was really good yeah it was like very impressive it's so interesting seeing social media get to a place where there are like viable careers in in these spaces that didn't exist before like Charlie Deo or whatever like you could just be a cute girl dancing on Tik Tok and that's you used to have to be able to sing and uh they would send you to acting school if you were just like a pretty person like they had to give you these other skill sets and now you can just like dance to certain songs what do you think that's like psychologically CU at least if you're a person who sing songs like people really love my songs she probably sings now you know like but it was a springboard like she got famous for her dancing does she sing probably I don't know well imagine someone who doesn't sing just imagine being famous just for being alive that's a that's an that's available to you now that's a new thing it's a new thing that's a new thing yeah
yeah it's also interesting because like when I got into comedy and like Fame was a byproduct but I think with younger people sometimes they just want to be famous and they don't really care or know what for I remember we were shooting a thing we were shooting this Sonic commercial years ago and kids saw a camera that so many of them would say make me famous it wasn't I want to do a thing that I love and then become famous they wanted to be fame fame fame is a byproduct not uh I don't know if it should be the goal yeah I don't know if that's the healthiest no it's not a good it's not a good goal cuz it's you'll never sustain you're never going to be happy either should be happy if you're doing what you like to do you know the the the idea of just being happy just by Fame that's a trick and that's that's going to come with a lot of problems of its own and you don't want them you you you're better off just concentrate on what you love to do and just try to get good at it yeah yeah trying to just get famous you're going to do some stuff that you wish you hadn't done you're going to say some things you wish hadn't said you're going to try to get a lot of attention it's going to come with a lot of extra baggage yeah and the fame isn't exactly the fun there are some parts of it that are fun but then it also impedes your life like well depends on if that's all you do right like there's people out there that are you know air quotes influencers all they do is like either you know you're the Kardashian or you're whoever you are you're doing some and you're making videos and you're that's your whole thing is you getting out there it's not like exceptional content it's not like they're doing crazy backflips and you know climbing mountains they're not doing anything crazy yeah they're just being alive right being alive with a lot of money and a big ass and being beautiful that helps that helps but it's also being around famous people and you know oh my God it's the Glamorous Life and then people are sucked in and if you edit it correctly we do nice fast keep my attention span moving you could suck me in for years yeah you forget editing is such a strong uh necessity nowadays too it's huge yeah it's almost more important than a performer I mean it's
hyperbole but a great editor can really Elevate some content yes like Schultz's guy's amazing I mean what Schultz's is fantastic to begin with but editing when you're trying to grab people's attention in 20 30 seconds with all the zooms and all these psychological tricks too like shaking it having the text come in so now even to promote as a young comic people coming up you have to be aware of you might have a great bit but you have to have it be a little cutier than it would be live right you have to use a certain type of uh captions you have to maybe zoom in so you have to give yourself uh I don't know the benefit of the doubt or set yourself up for Success via editing yeah yeah and there's so many different ways to do it now too you know it's like so many people found different Avenues to make viral things things like remember during the pandemic when Schultz had to turn your phone sideways thing brilliant yeah he had a totally different style of Comedy than he does cuz he you know on stage he'll let things cook he'll have long pauses give you time to think about some ridiculous [ __ ] that he just said and he's like yeah that's the fun of the live show right but in the the these Instagram videos sideways videos he was very fast-paced it was very fast-paced yeah and uh it's punchline after punch line after punch line he does the Netflix thing you know Schult Saves America punch line punch line punch line right it's very fast it's it's really interesting cuz he adapted found like some new pathway that's the real sign of intelligence right if you could find like a new way to do it and did the don't do Zoom standups son I mean of course yeah no [ __ ] but find a way there's a there's another pathway there's got to be something else a lot of people did they they found ways to do funny clips and you learn just by seeing what is being propagated what how people's behaviors even when I edit my standup I I take the air out if I get a laugh I'll cut the laugh short just to get to the next part you're just competing against people's thumbs swiping up you like that uh sometimes cuz if you um you you can make your joke a little tighter via editing I see what you're saying you know what I mean because if you're an unknown and you're you're just competing about people
you're competing with people swiping their thumb and watching something else yeah I think you can't really worry about that yeah well it's all trial and error too people still love standup dude they're they're still going to love it and if it if it's below jazz in the the listings so be it I love it it's it's fine it's it doesn't need any more attention than it gets it's fine and the people that love it love it and the people that don't that's fine too it's all fine don't worry about who swipes and who doesn't swipe worry about doing what you enjoy do that thing and make it so that something you're like I like it this is good I did it the way I wanted to do it bam that's where I'm at now with stand up I'm very happy especially after doing that last special I'm at a place where I'm comfortable I call the special this new one house money because things are great um you know with my parents and financially and careerwise so funny the pressure of your parents it's like just an overwhelming blanket it's a cliche you know the whole immigrant be a doctor or whatever yeah they want you to be successful it's hard to get over here yeah but I love them and I know what it was rooted in it was just rooted in their offspring wanting to do the best that they can yeah yeah it's rooted in love it's a little smothering little but but you made it out yeah I think it allowed me to be where I'm at now so it was Rocket Fuel and yeah there's something to be said for that there's something to be said for some uncomfortable [ __ ] that makes you work harder you know because the the worst situation is you're too comfortable and you don't work hard enough and then you're then you don't have a career because you're' just been lazy and you could have had a career we've know a lot of guys like that we know a lot of guys that just for whatever reason they didn't [ __ ] put it together right they didn't work as hard as everybody else did they just didn't try as are they for whatever reason they just [ __ ] cashed out you know it sucks it's a real bummer cuz you learned at an early age the value of hard work and discipline and I think a lot of people just don't know the value of that and they just would rather just indulge because indulging is fun we all love to do it and standup Comics are you
know most of us are pretty indulgent silly so you got to find a way to harness that like you're the boss of you you got to figure out a way to say like hey I'm the boss of me I will sit my ass down and I will [ __ ] work on this [ __ ] there's a level of Entrepreneurship that I think is great about standup too and I think that's why I worked so hard is because I knew what my life would be like if I just stayed at Boeing it was a means to an end it's not like I did engineering just so I can get a legit job and be able to move out to LA and and and drive up to Hollywood so it was always a means to an end but I would always when I'm in that cubicle I knew what my life would be like if I just stayed up o yep whereas I didn't know what it would be like I knew what I wanted it to be and that drove me whereas okay I know this movie I don't know this movie and I love this right so that was the fire for me right just uh not wanting to live for tomorrow yeah and when you pursue something and uh when you pursue something like that it's it's it's exciting it's fulfilling it's very exciting but it's also very daunting right especially in the beginning you God to remember the early days where I wasn't sure this to make it it was just when I was going to be able to make a living it was it's so weird such a weird feeling you know you're so everything's like open-ended you never know you know you don't know the one the the next set you have where you bomb Oh my God am I going to have to quit do I suck forever yeah am I going to figure this out those are the best moments when I was young when I was starting out was after bombs after bombs I always Shar you come out so much sharper it sucks but you either get better or you quit yeah you get better or you quit I always think about that whenever people get into standup if they bomb and they don't love standup they're out pretty fast yeah cuz that's not a fun feeling unless you have a screw loose and you love it and I'm that way whereas I was more embolden after a bomb I was like okay why didn't it work how do I tweak this right I took it as as the audience being an editor yeah yeah yeah it was fuel M it's undeniable they either laugh or they don't MH and you know people used to say like I think Bill Cosby used to say there's no bad
crowds just bad comedians when he's out of [ __ ] mind clearly and I used to say about that when he never had to work the places that I had to work I had to work bars in the middle of Massachusetts and Rhode Island and [ __ ] Connecticut like shut your mouth there's bad bad audiences but through those bad audiences you learn Cloud you know crowd control mitigation [ __ ] you learn how to work the crowd you learn how to like capture people's attention so you don't let them drift off you don't like you can't they're not good crowds you learn how to Corral energy also if someone is being disruptive do they do they have a good heart do they mean well just a little too Tipsy and kind of harness that back into your set and be playful cuz some Comics don't realize and they just go nuclear on the person and then it's like beating up a toddler cuz then you've lost the Goodwill of the crowd everyone's like yo you just [ __ ] this chick up for no reason and then you try to do a joke and they go no you're a monster dude yeah it's basically like having road rage like you're in the car like shut the [ __ ] up you know like what the [ __ ] are you doing bro [ __ ] you no [ __ ] you you're you're so amped up CU you're already in a car you're driving fast when you're on stage your brain is amped up when someone chimes in you're like what shut up you stupid [ __ ] even though he's like like oh my god what have you done there's a nicer way to say keep it down and you may have lost the crowd by saying you [ __ ] but then there some people that you just have to address like you have to get rid of them they they're going to ruin your show no matter what you do and they do it on purpose sometimes they're so malicious and mean that you have car launch to [ __ ] lay into this guy and it's kind of fun cuz sometimes these people are so singular minded and they think the world revolves around them when the crowd starts booing the person and you see that switch in their eyes like oh they've been perceiving the whole situation wrong right like go why is this entire room booing you if you're the good guy right you know what I mean everyone's like get the [ __ ] shut [ __ ] you they got babysitters and [ __ ] you know they hate this guy yeah so I I kind of like teaching a lesson sometimes when that happens I'm like I do a million set
this is fun for me to to teach a grown man a lesson you hear you hear all these boo why are they hissing at you dude yeah it's fun to educate sometimes while some people just they're drunk and they don't even realize what the consequences of what they're doing are there's just being so selfish they don't care about the other 300 people in the room they just want to just yell out but most of the time they just they mean well but they've had a few drinks and you and you can rain them inly booze is the best and the worst thing for comedy yeah for real ideally you want everyone who's great on it yeah you want people can handle their liquor but every now and then you'll get that's not true how is it a Mothership cuz you run a tight ship no pun intended and CU you got put the phone in the bag yeah you have to kick people out that are disrupting the show do it does it happen still yeah it's happened it happens it's going to happen no matter if you have Live Comedy you're gonna have people that are just hammered we had a lady go into a khole she was on Academy and she went into a khole in the middle of the crowd how's the khole audience member what's that like they didn't know if she took an opiates or what she took like this joke's really good she's [ __ ] I wasn't there um and it was the night that I was off I think or it wasn't on the show I don't remember what it was but either way the lady went into a khole and they they had the Naran ready they thought she'd you know overdose but no she's just [ __ ] gone CU a lot of people take this nasal spray of ketamine and they take it like as therer [ __ ] quasi dimensional traveling in the middle of a comedy show I don't understand when people go that hard and then pay tickets to an expensive show like some people will go to a concert and just be [ __ ] up beyond belief yeah yeah yeah you that's our Fe you're not even mentally here to enjoy Beyonce or whatever it is exactly yeah yeah well I think this is the experience sometimes people say I'm going to take an edible and go see a show you're like how do you finesse that though like that lady on on K I don't know if she was really processing the jokes right oh she definitely wasn't she was she was gone I mean she collapsed
she was gone yeah I've never done ketamine like that um I don't know what happens but the the way they do it if you do a lot of it you go into what they call a khole whatever that means but I know that people have like hallucinations and they have like these weird experiences where they're interacting with interdimensional beings they're in empty apartment buildings and space and [ __ ] weird weird stuff weird stuff yeah yeah seems like you don't need a show for that it seems like a heavy drug it seems like one that you could to be out in the town on that stuff yeah but I guess people micro do it I guess that's the thing not this girl the the anti-depression effects for micro doing they used to have a ketamine drip thing that Neil did oh yeah Neil Brennan did it yeah yeah he said he thought that he would go to a doctor's office and it would be like mild he's like no I'm tripping balls the doctor's office on an IV drip kidy just fuing interacting with space beings and [ __ ] yeah I remember when he was going through a phase of like trying different things for his depression he was doing he show me a video of the magnet thing and then K I guess and then iasa yeah he was telling me about it like he was doing a lot I didn't know that you could do iasa that frequently oops um You probably not supposed to I how he's doing a lot he's a Pioneer dude he's a wild dude but it did help him it definitely did help him I've noticed I've noticed a difference yeah I talked about it it's like I forget what percent he beli in God now and stuff just like oh yeah it might be real it might be something to it I'm so scared of IAS he he actually asked me cuz uh I like control right you had a bad mushroom trip right yeah cuz you like control well yeah exactly and you can't control when you're on drugs you know not when those not mushrooms that's for damn sure if you try it'll take you down a very bad Road yes you got to learn how to let go let go I know was cuz Ari was living in La at the time Paul sh does IAS he just did it he talked about it let's go I mean I don't know what he's like I everyone said like what you do if he starts wearing wooden beads I'm gonna strangle him as soon as you do too much I start wearing wooden beads I'm always like bro
no you're dude you okay bro do you have an eagle feather in your hair cuz I'll kill [Laughter] you have you done iosa no no so what's your why haven't you uh I haven't had the opportunity I haven't had people that I want to do it with I haven't had a it's illegal in America so oh it is either you do it illegally here or you go somewhere else um yeah it shouldn't be but also maybe you should know who the [ __ ] is making it and how they're doing it and I've done DMT though which is the uh the what that's the active ingredient I saw a guy take a hit from a DMT pen at a party Jes and it was like unsettling to watch him cuz you just see him Blast Off in a chair like this is too personal it's almost like seeing a guy jerk off or something very weird to do that in front of everybody he just blasts off for like five minutes and you like I go okay Jesus it's kind of weird yeah it's a potent drug like it's a hit off of a vape pen I think it's a portal into another dimension I really do I know that sounds completely insane especially from the host of Fear Factor right but I think it's in your mind I mean they know that your brain produces those chemicals why would your brain produce chemicals that let you interact with beings in other dimensions that are giving you wisdom why why would that be something your brain makes I don't know but the speculation is that your brain makes it when it thinks it's going to die and that you when you interact with that Dimension that's your spirit that's your soul that's what the essence of you not your your physical being and your life experiences in your memories that's the essence of you goes to this place and that's the only way to ask access it or maybe some people say you can access it through Kundalini Yoga I've never done it that way but there's I have done what they call holotropic breathing I've I've had psychedelic experiences just from breathing you can get to like an acid State just breathing it's really wild but um the um the the physical process of dying like when people have near-death experiences it's sounds a lot like a psychedelic trip like a lot of these people that go to the light and then come back like they they die for like 30
seconds and then they come back and they have this crazy experience of interacting with beings and interacting with angels and interacting with devils and weird [ __ ] man and a lot of them have these weird stories and they've tried to like map out what the [ __ ] is happening with the human mind while that's going on but it's just a lot of speculation in terms of like they didn't even know like what part of the brain is producing this chemical they knew it's produced by the liver and I think it's produced by the lungs but like they think it's produced by the whole brain Now isn't that what stman said the last time he was here but your brain makes the most potent psychedelic drug known to man that's one of the reasons why that stuff is such a short um like uh the time that you're if you take DMT your body brings it back to Baseline very quickly you're blasted for 10 15 minutes and then you're back huh and your stone Cults over and you were just in another dimension that's crazy it's bananas you're back to the party nothing Happ here's what's even more crazy you have a really hard time remembering it you had one of the most insane experiences you could ever possibly imagine you remember little Snippets of it just like a dream yeah I'm like that I'm bad at remember remembering Dreams yeah should get a Dre everybody something yeah everybody is and that that is like a function of that same thing that when when you take the actual chemical when you take the actual DMT molecule it's the same thing that happens you have a very difficult time holding on to those memories cuz memories are weird anyway you know we all have false memories we all have distorted memories you have an approximation of things I'm jealous some people have iron trap memories I'll talk to a buddy and he he'll bring up an event from six years ago and like I don't work that way I'm so jealous some people just have super memories like that they definitely do with some things you know you know I'd always wonder like do they have less experiences in their life so is that like more memorable because they don't have anything that stands out from the norm I think just the way their brain processes information and events like it fi has a better filing system or something well
some people definitely have photographic memories like they can remember everything absolutely perfectly you know that lady from Taxi that show taxi yeah I was I was just thinking about that 60 Minutes piece that uh they she was on there talking about like she's one of these people like with super memory super memory like very different than normal good memory even people who can remember lines very easily I'm so jealous of oh yeah you know cuz what a leg up you have over the competition if you could just read a thing be like got it yeah and you could do it I know that's crazy that's probably her Mary L Henner yeah highly Superior autobiographical memory a rare condition identified in only a 100 people worldwide his trait drives her to advocate for more funding for brain research that's insane that's incredible when you hear her like recite things that she can remember it's bananas yeah it's bananas but that would be an amazing advantage to be an actor for sure you read the script once and like I got it it I know exactly what you're going to say then I know exactly what I'm going to say how are you on news radio with lines I was okay you know that was okay it's uh it's a complicated little thing to remember everyone's process is different too how to retain that just going over it for me it was always just repetition you have to do a lot of repetition over and over and over again say it out loud write it down I always hear get on your feet so like pace and say the words so it's in your body I heard RZ RZ ahed you know him as an actor he's C he's sound of music or Sound of metal um the two very different movies by the way he was in The Sound of Music or the sound of metal uh one of those I'm pretty sure sound of metal but he's a super talented actor and I heard he like runs while he does his lines and just to get himself out of his wasn't he an Oppenheimer was he I feel like everyone was in Oppenheimer oppenheimer's a damn good movie how crazy is it they went after him for communism what was that how crazy is it they went after him for communism oh that's what they got him on well that's what they're going after him for that was the thing dude they get you yeah but I mean the guy who invented the [ __ ] bomb leave him alone
yeah leave him alone what if the movie ended after they dro the bomb and everyone cheers and then you see the credits but it's funny died yeah but you saw they had to do that back end where he felt bad and [ __ ] he's like what what have I done one of my favorite alltime videos leaving on this is the Oppenheimer video of him describing what he said when the first bomb went off when he quoted the bad GA let's watch we'll leave with this fem you're the [ __ ] man appreciate you love you to death miss you um your uh new com special yeah it's called House money it's on my YouTube channel so if you go to youtube.com/ fahem anir andir it's for free and fim manoir on Instagram and all the other social media platforms and um always The Comedy Store yeah Oppenheimer [ __ ] we knew the world would not be the same few people laughed few people cried most people were silent I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita Vishnu is trying to persuade the prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi armed form and says now I am become death the destroyer of worlds I suppose we all thought that one way or another that's a quote that's a [ __ ] bar that's a bar somebody put some hip-hop beat underneath that yeah I probably he's already in a song that should be in a wuang song all right goodbye everybody thank you [Music] bye
