  Speaker 2: Hollywood salons or it's like, A lot of very peppy
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: gay men and very like brain dead women and gay men.

  Speaker 1: Yeah. And everyone's very perky. And I just said I

  Speaker 2: But I'm taping a special on Saturday and I want
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: to look like I'm 17 years old. So I want
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: to get some of the gray out. Because I have
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: nice hair, but it's gray.

  Speaker 4: You are.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I do well with older women and lesbians.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I find myself attracted to you, which is weird.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, I know.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: And you know, Maureen at TruTV always wanted to fuck,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: you know? You know, it's always like, you know, it's
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: always like, ah.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm good.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Jessica Curson is the funniest woman in America.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I really believe that.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's so nice.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Everyone, Rogan and me, we all talk about it. You are.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: And we just say you destroy at the Laugh Factory.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: You destroy everywhere you go. If you're not following Jessica,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: you should. It's at Jessica Curson on Twitter. It's very
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: fucking simple. It's very easy. And she's on the road
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: all the time. You're on the road, and we were
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: just talking about the hell that the road is.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: It's horrific.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: It's a nightmare.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: It's a fucking, I mean, it's why I do it,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: because I'm a miserable fucking person, so it's very familiar
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: for me.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: It's, you get into a good rhythm.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't think I'd be okay
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: if I wasn't doing that, because it would be just boring.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Well, it's also, we're addicts.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And addicts love, like, a depressing hotel.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Horrible coffee. It tastes like urine.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Or ass juice. Urines actually would taste better than what
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the coffee tastes like.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's something about a nice depressing hotel.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: There's something about standing on the side of the road
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and just watching cars pass by that there's something soothing
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: about that to people that are very fucked up. And
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: like you said to me, how many bags do I bring?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Because I'm going away for a month. I'm like, I
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: don't bring any. I just go to the DXL, the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: fat store and I buy three black, three XL shirts
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and sometimes I just throw them out.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I just picture you like just throwing them just on
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: the street.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: No, I look like a terrorist when I get on
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the plane because I have nothing. I mean, I have
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: nothing and I look like a guy that's on the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: brink of something.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: So they kind of size me up. They literally sometimes
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: will go, that's all you're bringing. I go, yeah.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: And then I just have to drive in the fat store.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: DXL is always 30 to 40 minutes out of a city.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: because they're ashamed of it as they should be. So
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: they put it so far out into the suburbs, you
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: have to drive 30 minutes. It's not even in the suburbs,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: it's in something called the exurbs, which is like.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: 45 minutes out. That's the new term.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: For it, where it's so far out that you have
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to keep driving past all the Paneras, and then you
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: get there finally. And you get the three shirts and
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: then you wear them and you throw them out or
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: you bring them back or whatever.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: What if you're in like Europe or something? Do they
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: have like fat stores?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you right now, I will wear one outfit.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to do. No, I'm going to
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: have to pack for Europe.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: You have to pack for Europe.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to be home before Europe. So I
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: have to buy clothing and luggage first.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Well, they might have like a Bed Bath & Beyond.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: You can get like curtains or something.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: No, I'm going to go to Europe and I will
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: not be able to purchase anything.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: So I have to then like cover myself. You've been
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: doing comedy a bit, a long time.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I started in 99. So I've been in this
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: nightmare of a situation for 23 years.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: When you started, were people smoking in comedy clubs? Was
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: it that type of environment? What kind of environment was it?
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: No, they weren't smoking, but they were laughing and you
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: could say anything you wanted.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I started during that time.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: That time.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when you were free to say whatever you wanted.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people came to laugh.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they didn't think about every joke.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Right, now they analyze.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now I say something and there's this moment of like,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: is it okay to laugh at that? Right.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: So.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you see what I do. I just plow
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: through it.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: You don't care.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: You either laugh or you.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Don't, you know.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: That's why everybody respects you is you just don't give
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a fuck.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I do a little bit, but I don't, I just
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: have to just do it. And it's like, whatever happens,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: happens at this point. You gotta just go. I'm barely functioning, so.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I now go up in place. Sometimes, obviously, I go
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: up in rooms where people don't know me. I've had
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the luxury of going up in a lot of rooms
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: where people know me now because they come to see me.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: It's so much more fun. And then I go out
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: and I say something. And then there's like a soccer
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: mom who's like, you know what I mean? And who
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: thinks she's an environmentalist because she has a Tesla. Never
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: mind where that lithium ion comes from.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Whatever. Who cares? But they make the face. You know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: they do the whole thing.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: And it's like, and I'm not even attracted to women.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: So for me, I have no, you know, there's nothing there.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I go, we're on a bad date. And it's, it
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: will end soon enough and then we'll just be done
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: with it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: You know? Yeah.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: It's, I mean, people have completely lost their minds. We
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: were just talking about that, especially here in LA. It's,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're both sober, and I feel like I've
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: taken 70 drugs, things that aren't even, I don't know
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: what's going on.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Well, people here in L.A. will say they're sober, but
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: they do all of the drugs.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: They're on crack. I said that to you. People will say,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I'm California sober. I'm like, you're on crystal meth. You're
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: literally just shot up.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: People will tell you they do shrooms, and none of
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: the people doing shrooms are having any of the revelations
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: you'd hope they'd have.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Like none of these people are like progressing in any
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: area of their life.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: No.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: They're taking shrooms, they're going to Joshua Tree, they're sitting
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: out under the stars.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: And I don't know what's happening. I don't know if
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: they're taking DMT and the aliens are appearing. I don't
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: know if they're arguing with the aliens or the aliens
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: are like, Here's the way it is. And they're like, well, actually,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on, but none of it is...
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Were you ever tempted to be like, oh, I can
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: be sober, but do psychedelics?
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: No. To me, being sober is sober. I can't do
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: anything because it always leads to other... That's right. If
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I start smoking pot, I'm going to suck a guy's
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: cock on the street corner and like.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, and I'm gay. This is not good. I
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: can't do anything. It's not a good situation, no matter what.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I can't do anything.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: But there's struggles. The struggles are food.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Everything.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Everything's a struggle.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I'll do anything. I'm a garbage can. Yeah, I'm out
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: of my mind.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Everything's a struggle.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: When did you get sober?
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've been in and out for years, you know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: but there's been times when I've had, you know, six
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: years at a time, eight years at a time. But again,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: anytime I thought I could do a little something.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And what usually gets you? Like, what's the thing?
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Pot.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: So that's why I'm saying like people that say I'm sober.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I've done that with cigarettes.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I've quit cigarettes 30 to 40 times in my life.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I was six years off them once.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Cigarettes are tough. It's very tough.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: It's brutality.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And they're not even fun. Here's the thing about cigarettes.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: They're disgusting.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They smell bad. You feel horrible. You, when you
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: don't smoke, you feel so much better.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: But it is the, it's one of the greatest products
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: because it can raise the price of it.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: They tell you, it kills you in 19 different ways.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: And no matter how long, like I used to be
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: five years without a cigarette and I'd see somebody smoking
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: a cigarette.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I go, damn.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Damn, that looks good.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Everyone misses them. It's a very oral thing. It's calming.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: It's tough. That was the hardest. Believe it or not,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I think that was the hardest thing I ever had
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: to quit.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: It was very hard.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Very hard to quit.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: It was very hard. And I don't, thank God now
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I don't do it.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: But I know I'm really proud of you. I'm proud
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: of you for quitting.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I have said to people in L.A., I don't smoke
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: cigarettes anymore while smoking a cigarette.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: And they've looked at me and went, good job, man.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because they're so self-involved. They're not even noticing that
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: you're smoking.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Disgusting.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: That's kind of the benefit of living here.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: You lie to each other's faces and everyone believes that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: You can say I don't drink anymore while you're downing
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: a beer. And people are like, that's great. So happy
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: for you. I could face fuck myself with like a
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: donut and be like, I don't eat sugar. And they're like,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: that's great. With like powder all over my face. No
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: one listens to anyone here. It's not, they're not even.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Nobody's even paying attention. What do you think makes us addicts?
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Is it nature? Is it nurture?
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: I think it's a lot of things. I mean, I
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know if I was born this way.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm from a family of food addicts, so I,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I'm from drunks. I'm Irish Catholic. We're from drunks. We're
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: from repressed sexuality.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I have an aunt who, you know, has never been
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: with a man, and she wears men's shoes, and You
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? Not because she's a lesbian, because
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: they're more comfortable, you know?
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And, you know, and.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: She wears a strap on.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she had, like, a special friend in college.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: They were very close. So it's like.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Men's shoes is my favorite.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean, she walks around the house, like,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: storming around in, like, men's shoes. So it's, this is,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: we come from these places that have, my mother's a schizophrenic,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: you know, and, you know, but now the country is
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: caught up to her. Like we locked her up 20
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: years ago, but now everyone is kind of saying what
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: she said for years.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: So it's like I talk to regular.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: People and they say things similar to what my mother
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: has said because the country has now become kind of
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: schizophrenic too. It is, totally.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: So we should let her out.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: You should let her out. She'd fit right in.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: I said just let her out.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: She'll be fine.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Just send her to the Capitol and buy her a
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: fucking Viking hat.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Send her in there.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: She'll shit on the desk and it'll be totally normal.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: What is your, because a lot of people call me
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: and they go, or not call me, but they message
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: me and they go, what is the best way to
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: get sober?
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I did AA for a while. I should go to
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: more meetings. I don't really go to too many meetings.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: What is the best way in your estimation to change
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: your life from being a drug addict or an alcoholic
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: or a food addict, or whatever, to being sober?
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Kill yourself. No, I hate... Jump in front of a car. No,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: this is honestly... It's a hard question. I hate saying this,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: because it's annoying, but the program is the only way
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: that has worked for me.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: It really is the only way.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: And I'm a child of a therapist... I've been to
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: every single therapy, every fucking therapist, done everything. And it
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: always comes back to that. It's the only way for
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: me that that's worked.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: No, you're right.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: And I also think, you know, being honest and working
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: with other alcoholics and helping people and getting out of
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: my own head because I'm a selfish motherfucker. It's a
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: lot of things. But working the program and working the
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: steps has been the only way I've been able to
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: stay sober. And I've tried a lot of other things.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: I've tried. I've tried doing it on my own. I've
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: tried everything. I'm the most sane when I work another program.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, work a program. And I hate saying that
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: because I hate having to have something that helps me. Like,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: I have to do that.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: See, Ben was lucky because he didn't need the program.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: I'm the program for him.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: So it's very lucky. Sometimes people have a mentor that
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: comes in. Not everyone is lucky enough to have someone
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: like me who's relentlessly positive and life-affirming.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, Ben, you're so lucky.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: It's a real treat. But, I mean, what happened to
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: the doctor the other day? He said to you, he
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: took all your blood. He said you were healthy.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: And then what did he say?
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: Well, I am low on vitamin D, he said. I'm
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: deficient on that. But he said my biggest health risk
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: is just relapsing.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: He goes, don't look up the numbers on it, but
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: the rate of relapse is severely high.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, doctors are always positive here.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Very high. Are you sober, Ben?
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I am sober.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Four years.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's great. Tim helped me. Oh, that's amazing. Yeah.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: It's a fun, it's a fun, we have, it's an
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: AA meeting every day here.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I miss AA. I miss Long Island AA.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: If you guys don't work the program, you must be
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: at each other's throats sometimes.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: We're not at each other's throats. There's a lot of tension.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: We should work the program. That's something we should do more.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I did. I did the steps. I did everything.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it works.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: It does work.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: It's good, especially, you know, in early sobriety and even
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: long-term sobriety, you have to do it.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Especially in long-term sobriety because you get, you know, once
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: you're comfortable, you get cocky. Yeah, exactly.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: And you go, it'll be okay.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: And especially in this, in this business that we're in, it's,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: you know, people tend to be, yeah.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: There's good support with comics. There's a lot, there's a
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: bunch of sober comics and there's a very big support system,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: you know? Um, and it's, it's helpful because this business
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: is just makes me want to, you know, shoot up
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: heroin into my anus. Makes me want to put a
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: needle in my asshole.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: You have a beautiful wife who's lovely, who I've met.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Thank you, yeah, she's great.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: And you have children. What's it like raising kids in
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: this world?
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I'm never home, so I don't even raise them. So
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: it's really, as long as they're attractive, that's all I
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: care about. Thank God they're pretty. I have four daughters
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: and they're all stunning. Thank God. Because I really.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: One of your daughters is an amazing singer. I mean,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: these are talented people.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Zoe is almost 16. She goes to, we live
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: in Long Island. So I love that connection to you.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: And she goes to the school for performing arts there
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: half the day. She's an amazing actress and singer.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Do you ever, do you ever like worry about her
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: getting into the business?
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Yes. But she does, you know, they don't get as
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: affected by the rejection and shit. She's pretty. And she
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: has an agent. She's a buckwalled and she auditions all
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: the time. I mean, she does get bogged down by it,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: but she's pretty good with it. But yeah, of course.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: And there's so many girls that look at her. She's
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: a stunning, dark hair, blue eyes. There's a lot of
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: girls that look like her, and a lot of stuff
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: is going to other people. Girls now, that's the truth.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: So there's that, and then I have a six year
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: old daughter and I have twin three year olds. I
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: have two baby mamas, it's fucking crazy.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: It's wild.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: And do you get along with both of them?
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: I do, I do. I'm lucky, I have a good situation.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: I can't believe I have all these kids. I never
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: thought I'd have one kid, but I couldn't say no.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Now, did you do surrogate? Did you do.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: We did in vitro. So each of them, you know,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: my ex, Shari, had Zoe, and then Danielle, my current wife,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: had Isabella, Madison, and Charlotte.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: And you've had none of them?
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: No, I would never have a kid. I'd feel like
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: I was, like... I'm very male in a lot of ways,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: so I've never... for one second thought of carrying a child.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Like I would feel like I was an alien.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: I think all day about being implanted and carrying a child.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I think it's an inevitability that I get pregnant and
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: have a child.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I could see you being pregnant. No, I really like
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the idea.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I like the idea of being entitled and angry and
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: having cravings and calling Ben at 3 a.m.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: And go, get me pickles. And he goes, I buy
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: all these dumb houses and shit and stuff. I don't
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: even live in them.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: It's just because I'm an addict, so I just love
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: real estate. I just love realtors and going in and
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: out of houses, going to open houses.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: We go to open houses. That's our AA.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: And but it's also good to put money in play
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: because my business manager will steal.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: And I mean, he's a sweetheart, but he'll steal.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: And I think he's pretty, you know, I mean, the
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: first time we met him, he'd come from five guys.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: He had mustard on him. I said, oh, he'll take
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: our money as soon as we have enough of it.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: You know, he's he's talking about racing NFT horses. I mean,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: the guys he's on the ledge.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: And so what would you know? But that's something like,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: you know, Ben always tells me, like, don't do this.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Don't do this.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Don't.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: You don't need this. You're not even going to enjoy it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: But I think it'll be funny when I have a
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: baby in me and Ben will be like, I told
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: you not to do this.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: What would you rather have, a girl or a boy?
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Just so we can know. Because you can kind of
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: plan that.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I'd like a girl.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: And I'd like a girl because I have the perfect
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: idea of.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: What a woman should be.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: I think you know more than anyone.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I know what a woman should be.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: And with guys, you know, they kind of just go
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: their own way. I have a real idea of what
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: a woman should be in my estimation.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: And what should a woman be? Or just some examples.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: I'm curious.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: You know, my dream daughter is a very cold and
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: withholding woman.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: I like that. Yeah. No. And I'm attracted to that.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: A very, you know, pretty, or even if she's not
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: pretty cold and withholding. And I feel like there's too
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: much nurturing going on right now.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: And I, I think women should go back to being
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: cold and withholding and.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: A little aloof.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I like a woman who smokes a cigarette and stares
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: at the sky. I like a little aloofness. There's too
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: People are, it's overdone now. And I like that. And
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know how I would create that in a person,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: but I would try.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: You can definitely, you can damage her.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that would be the goal.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: And intimacy issues.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: That would be the hope.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't hug her too much. And if you're
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: very inconsistent, that would help.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Because I think that those types of women... select an
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: appropriate mate because there's a lot of women that make
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: very bad decisions with who they choose to spend their
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: lives with.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: And I think I would like my daughter to be
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: kind of really evaluate a guy on a bunch of
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: different levels and go, I'm getting into a partnership with you.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Does it make sense? Yeah.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Do you ever worry that your daughters may choose, uh,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: to be with someone who's not good?
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: A lot. Right.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: A lot.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: You know, Zoe, I trust Zoe. Zoe's very like free
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: spirited and like, yeah, and kind of a little, you know,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: she thinks everyone's good and kind of like naive a
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: little bit. So that scares me. But I'm very like
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: clear with her. And so is my ex about how
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: like people can be really horrible and evil at times.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Cause that's honest, you know, that's real. And I'm like,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: you gotta be really careful. Like people are not.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: What's good is like you're involved. My family's always been
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: so uninvolved in my life.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: They're not involved in any respect. Like my dad is
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: a fan of mine, but it's like, he's not, he's
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: not involved. He doesn't really ask like, is it what's
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: going on? Are you dating someone? Do you feel okay?
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Are you alive?
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: It's very much like he'll call me and go, David
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Spade mentioned you on Howard Stern. Isn't that cool?
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: It's all about the business.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all about the business, which is fine, right?
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: But it is– I was raised by the worst generation
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: of people on earth, the boomer. And the boomer did–
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: and I've conducted an exhaustive survey of the boomer. The boomer,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: not all of them, but a lot of them, it
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: was a generation of terribly selfish people. Yeah. Terribly selfish
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: that are constantly aggrieved. Their entire lives have been a struggle,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: even though when you look, it hasn't been. Houses were cheap,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: cars were cheap. The land was theirs to pillage and
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: they did.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: And they believed that kids were obstacles.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: To their own fulfillment and their fulfillment involved golf and wine.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: It was not per se, you know, they were like,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: they were the hippies and they.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Just turned hard away from that.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: And they kept all, because hippie, you know, that culture
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: was all about like, exploring yourself and, but it had
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of spiritual components. So what they did when
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: they came out of that is they, they kept the
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: self obsession that that culture had and lost all of
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: the spirituality and just became very selfish people.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: And I'm not, I'm not saying anything.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Bad about, um, my parents other than the fact that
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: they like, shouldn't have been parents.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think most people, I think a lot
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: of people shouldn't be parents.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Right, but I'm happy they were or tried.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they weren't abusive. They didn't burn me with cigarettes.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Well, I think I know a lot about your life.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: And you had a tough time. It was tough.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: It was not the best.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: It wasn't.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: It was not the best.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: It wasn't.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: But my parents have let me know that a lot
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: had to do with me.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: It was my fault.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: I know, which is horrific, right? It's horrific. Now, now
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: the outcome is your brilliance.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Well, that's very sweet of you to say.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: That's very true. That's why you're so talented and brilliant.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: And we become, I do think that I am funny
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: because I went through so much pain. I think that humor,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: I don't think, I know that humor comes from pain.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: And I don't, I think the funniest people have been
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: hurt the most. That's my personal opinion. You know, when
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: people go on stage and they're so fucking funny, I'm like,
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: that person has gone through shit.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: I really believe that.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: For sure. You ever look at comics, you haven't been
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: through anything, and you go, what are you doing?
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. I'm like, you're too okay.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: You're like, why are you doing this?
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: There's so many comics who are just clever. I never
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: laugh at clever comedy.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: No.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: And people do. Like, they'll do well on stage.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Louie said something great once. It's like, I forget, did
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Louie say it? I forget who said it.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I think it was Louie.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Where it was like, it's comedy for people who went
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: to Vassar.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: It was some, it might not have been Louis, but somebody,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: it was like that type of where it's like, it's very,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: it's very well thought out.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: I've never laughed at Seinfeld. Now he's a great writer.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: I've never once laughed at him.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Here's the most brilliant thing. Cause he's technically one of
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: the most brilliant comics. I'm sure he'd love me. That's sarcastic. But, um,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: what the one time I really laughed at him is
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: he did a speech for the Cleo advertising awards where
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: he goes, it was the funniest thing that I've ever
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: seen him do because it was the most real. Ben
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: can get it up. This is him being the most
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: real I've ever.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Hold on one second. This is him being the most
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: real I've ever seen.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: It is one of my favorite things I've ever seen
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: a comic do because the thing with him is some
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: of his jokes are so technically brilliant.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: They're brilliant. He's a brilliant writer.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: But there is sort of... You feel like... you feel
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: like you don't know him at all.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: That's my thing. That's what I'm saying. This is just
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: my personal opinion.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: But here, if you watch this, this to me is
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: one of the best things because now I do kind
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: of feel like I know him if you watch this.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: I am excited to win this. This is the award
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: they give you when they don't think you can actually
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: win one. But they think you've done a pretty good
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: job and seem to have been around for quite some time.
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: And that's how I got it.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I would like to.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: Thank Ogilvy and Mather and American Express for getting me
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: into this business. That was the first time I did it.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: I would like to thank my manager, George Shapiro, my
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: incredible wife, Jessica, and Amirati for keeping me going. I
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: love advertising because I love lying. In advertising, everything is
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: the way you wish it was. I don't care that
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: it won't be like that when I actually get the
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: product being advertised because in between seeing the commercial and
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: owning the thing, I'm happy.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: And that's all I want.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: Tell me how great the thing is going to be.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: I don't need to be happy all the time. I
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: just want to enjoy the commercial. I want to get
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: the thing. We know the product is going to stink.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: We know that. Because we live in the world and
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: we know that everything stinks. We all believe, hey, maybe
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: this one won't stink. We are a hopeful species. Stupid,
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: but hopeful. But we're happy in that moment between the
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: commercial and the purchase. And I think spending your life
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: trying to dupe innocent people out of hard-won earnings to
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: buy useless, low-quality, misrepresented items and services is an excellent
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: use of your energy.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: That's different than what he does.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: That's right. This is why I love it. Keep watching.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: This is great.
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: Because a brief moment of happiness is pretty good. I
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: also think that just focusing on making money and buying
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: stupid things is a good way of life. I believe
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: materialism gets a bad rap. It's not about the amount
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: of money. Nothing's better than a Bic pen, a VW Beetle,
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: or a pair of regular Levi's. If your things don't
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: make you happy, you're not getting the right things. This
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: will all be in my new book, Soulful Materialism, which
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: is in the planning stages at this moment. I have
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: always wanted a Clio. I don't know much about it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: But I know it's a good award. Because in 1991,
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: they screwed up this whole presentation, and there were a
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: bunch of awards left over, and all of these ad
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: people here climbed up onto the stage and tried to
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: grab them. So to me, that says this means something.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: That really happened, and it's my all-time favorite award show
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: occurrence because it was so honest. People just said, I
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: want a damn Clio, and they went for it. And
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: that is why I am happy right now.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I got this.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: I didn't really win it, but I got it. And tomorrow,
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: I don't know where this is going to be. It'll
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: be somewhere. Eventually I'll be dead, someone will just take
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: it or sell it or throw it out, and that's fine,
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: I'm happy now. The same way those executives were in
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: 1991 when they ran onto this stage and grabbed trophies
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: that weren't theirs.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: But it trumped up their.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: Phony careers and meaningless lives. So thank you all for
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: this great honor.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: I saw that and I was like, this is like,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: this moment.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: It's real.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's totally real.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: And dark.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: And dark.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: But he's not, I've watched him a million times.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not his usual thing.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: It's safe and it's not real a lot. It's just.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a different thing.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: It's a different thing. What do you think?
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Like is happening, you know, with comedy right now where
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: you have a lot of comics who are cool and
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: you have a lot of people that seem like they
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: are on stage to make a point. And they feel
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: like they're a gay comic or they're a comic of
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: color or they're a comic or they're a trans comic.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like the community of comics feels more
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: divided and splintered now than it's kind of ever been.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: It feels like the identity of comic, to me, is
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: such a powerful, strong identity. It should unite all these
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: different groups of people under that umbrella. It doesn't seem
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: to anymore. It seems to be weirdly balkanized. Everybody's kind
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: of doing their own thing. It is.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: It is divided. A lot of comics have gone... at
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: each other, which I am not used to. It was
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: very united for my entire career. And now people are
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: incredibly judgmental of each other. I personally have never judged
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: comics for what they do. So it's very odd for
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: me to see comics going at each other. I could
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: hate someone's act, be disgusted by it, hear what they
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: have to say and want to vomit and want them
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: to die.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: But I still believe they have the right to say it. So, yeah,
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: and I just, you know, I laugh at what's funny,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: and I just think the funniest people should get hired
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: for work.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: So it's just, I don't know what's going on.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Well, good luck with that point of view. I know.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: I just keep doing what I do and saying what
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: I say, and I don't let anyone say it. silence me.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: In Long Island, do you ever encounter homophobia?
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, not in Long Island. I mean, I word things
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: and say things in a certain way so that I
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: make people feel absolutely ridiculous if they were to be
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: homophobic from my material. But when I'm on the road,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: I definitely get some people that get tense.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: And it's more of like the religious people.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: I remember when I first started on Long Island, there
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: was a lot of weirdness when I would say something
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: about being gay, people would go, and that's not a
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: huge part of my act. I have one or two
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: jokes about it, but it was weird back then.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: People would be like, what?
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Like, it was a different time, but things have gotten
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: a lot, things have changed a lot. A lot of
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: people don't want to admit that or they don't believe that,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: but First-hand experience, I think people's attitudes have changed.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: They've changed a lot. And I got to tell you,
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: they're a little more homophobic with men. Sure. When it
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: comes to comedy.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Definitely.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: I think with women.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: There's never been a big gay male comic stand-up, right?
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: No, not at all. I mean, no. I'm thinking about it.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: It was out of the closet. There's never been a
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: big gay male stand-up comic.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: No, I'd say you're by far the biggest there's ever been.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: By far.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, and you don't talk about it a lot,
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: but I mean, you're out, and you're the most famous
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: there's ever been.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Well, that's crazy to think about. I don't know if
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: that's the case.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is. I mean, there's Mario Cantone, but he's not,
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not at your level as a stand-up,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying as an actor, but he's musical, and
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: it's different.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: There's, I don't know who else, and he's not, it's
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: not the same thing. I'm just saying he's.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Because there's no, because there's an Ellen. There's Ellen.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Right. Ellen's a male comic who's... I mean, Ellen's more
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: of a gay male comic than you are.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: That's true. But as lesbians, they've had big comics.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Huge.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: They've had huge lesbian comics.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Oh my God. Sarah, Sandra, there's tons of them. Tons.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Um, But no, there isn't. I'd say you're the, you are.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: That's wild. Yeah. I don't know.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, think about it.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: I've never thought about it, but yeah, I've never, I haven't.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Either, but that's a real statement.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: I've always just never knew that, but I never, I
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: also never like people and it's weird. Like I understand
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: people's point when they say representation matters. They go, I
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: want to see myself, someone that looks like me doing something.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: I totally get that. Maybe, I don't know, I never
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: saw that, but I never cared.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: I don't care either. It's such a small.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: I never cared. I never saw a big gay male comic,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: but I never cared. It didn't make me think it
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: was off the table.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think about that stuff. I just think about
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: who's funny.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Like, I don't... But it's also, aren't we, we're kind
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: of a different generation of gay people.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we are.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: There's another generation of gay people who are, they don't,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: they have sex with the members of the opposite sex.
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: So that's different. Gay has gotten very, it's a big
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: tent now. You don't have to be gay to be gay.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: In fact, it's a detriment. You can be queer. There's
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: a big tent, and a lot of the people that
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: are in it are married in heterosexual relationships.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: You were telling me that in the car, and I
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: am very confused by it.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: You know, a guy on Twitter today came out as queer.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can get.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: I don't understand.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: I'm not judging it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you're talking about, though.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm judging it a little.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: I don't understand what you were saying. You said he's
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: married to a woman.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he goes, I've started identifying as queer over the
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: last four months. Does that make me the new queer
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: but an old black? I think most men, especially black
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: men like me who come out later in life because
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: we don't really know it ourselves. Also, I'm attracted to
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: a wide range of women but not men at all.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: So I didn't know how to ID myself even though
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: I haven't felt straight in years.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: LOL.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what that means.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: I have no idea.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not hating on it. I genuinely am confused.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: To me, I literally feel like I just heard Chinese.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: I have absolutely no idea.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: It might be a Chinese bot, but it's, you.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Know, I, that to me makes, again, I'd love to
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: understand it. I would love to.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: But that's the success of the gay movement that straight
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: people now want to be in it.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: And then the big LOL at the end is very
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: upsetting because it's, what is that?
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: That's a crazy person. But many people are ill. What
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: do you think the percentage of mental illness now in
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: the country is, 30%, 40%?
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: It's high. 98.5%.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: Now, in certain ways, I'm mentally ill. We're all mentally ill.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: But I work on it, and I'm medicated.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not judging. I have issues, but I
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: work on it. People are out of their minds. We
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: were at a comedy club. I told you, I was
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: at a comedy club last night. It looked like the
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: game room in a mental institution. And I'm not even
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: just talking about the comics. I'm talking about the audience, too.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: The people that work there. I'm like, am I at
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: a mental institution? You said people were like rocking back
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: and forth. Someone was talking to themselves. Someone was flicking
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: their fingers. Someone was rocking. There was a person with
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: a helmet. I don't know what the fuck was going on.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Someone was defecating. It was the, I'm like, this country
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: is out of, everyone's crazy.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: And I really constantly feel like I'm on a sheet
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: of acid, not even one little, like I'm on a sheet.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: You've taken a heroic dose. Yeah.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: I've taken a, a, a cardboard like sheet of acid.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: What do you think it is?
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: You think it's the internet's driven people crazy?
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Yes. My mom says that she's a huge therapist and
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: she said the internet has ruined people's lives. I mean, it's, it's, Ruined,
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: like she said, it's ruined people's lives. And it's only
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: getting more and more intense. I mean, it's insane.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Like and subscribe.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: Do you ever go through TikTok and just go through it?
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: It's out of control.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: It's out of control.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: Like you'll just see someone like, Hi everyone. I'm Dorothy
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: and I really, and then you just flick through and
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: it's like, and it's just one person after the next,
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: like mentally ill, fucking crazy people. It's nuts.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of neurodivergence now.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: It's true.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's a, there's a lot of people that are,
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: that are on the spectrum and they are, struggling with
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: different things, and there's more and more of that, and
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: now that's becoming kind of a brand in a weird way.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: There's someone who literally is mentally retarded, or whatever you
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: want to call it, and they're 700.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Pounds, okay?
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.

  Speaker 2: pro fat movement now? It's very interesting.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: The fat activism.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, I, yeah, I've been as people.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Who've struggled with our weight. It's interesting to see now.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: It's gone the other way where fat people are threatening people.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: On social media.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: I've been 330 pounds and no one should have been
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: promoting me. I was disgusting and should have been shot.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: I should have been hunted down and shot. I was
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: an animal. I should have gotten help. Someone should have
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: gotten a net and fucking put me in a cage
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: and helped me.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: But there's a movement now.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Well, I needed movement. I needed a lot of movement
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: because I was dying.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: There's a movement to celebrate.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: I should have not been celebrating.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: I had.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: Rashes, I smell, I was not okay.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: But what has happened? You know what I mean? What
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: has happened where it's.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Gone to a place where there is a celebration of
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: that type of behavior?
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: Well, I think that... No, I.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Don't think fat people should be victimized or treated like shit.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: No.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: But no one thinks that.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: Of course not.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: But we've gone to such an extreme place. I have
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of fat professionals. My agent is fat and
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: they're very distracted.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: They're fat. My tour is booked.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: If you look at the way my tour is booked,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: it's booked in towns with steakhouses so that my agent
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: can come.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: I have a fat assistant. She's lovely.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: But she's distracted because they're always thinking about eating.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised your tour isn't all at, like, Burger Kings.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: My tour is literally routed around the openings of steakhouses. But,
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: you know, it is a distracting thing. Like, I'm trying
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: to lose weight.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: It's hard.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: Do they always have food in their mouths when you're
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: talking to them about business stuff?
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: They're chewing, they're crunching late at night. Are they like,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: mushroom crumb?
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Well, they crunch. They crunch things. They have little vittles
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: that they have. They've got food everywhere. Like, you know,
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: it's distracting. It's like, again, it's a compulsion.
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: You don't have to tell me. I'm an animal. I
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: fuck my face with food. I don't even chew.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: You know what it is.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: So to me, the idea that that's become a celebrated.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Part of our society.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: It's not okay.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: It's not okay. The mukbangs online, you've seen them. People
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: just eat. People watch other people. I mean, did you
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: see Nick Avocado's video where the.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Woman was getting stabbed?
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I sent that to her.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Please bring that up.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: Someone's getting stabbed.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: There's a woman in an apartment building getting stabbed inside.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if you even know who this
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: guy is. This guy, all he does is eat online
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: and he eats these crazy things and he's just kind
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: of killing himself online.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Every day. He's pretty popular, yeah.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: And he's very popular. People want to watch him kill
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: himself with food. This is a deeply disturbed society. Now,
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: I want you to listen to this because this is
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: literally true. Someone's getting stabbed to death in the apartment
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: next door, and they notice it, and they keep eating.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Watch this.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, they taste like this, but, you know.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: You hear the screams?
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Greasier. Hmm.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Play it again, and I want you to listen for
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: the screams. You can hear them. You can literally hear
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: the screams. Okay, they taste like this, but, you know.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, you hear somebody in the back going, ah!
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: Do you know that he just made me homophobic and
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: I'm married to a woman?
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: Like, I want to suck dick after watching that.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: It's so disturbing because there's people... millions of them watching
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: this type of stuff. There's something that the internet's unlocked,
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: which is really terribly.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: Oh my God, that's so disturbing, watching him eat like that.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really bad. It's, yeah, it's not good.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: So he's really popular?
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: He's very popular.
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: I've watched a lot of his stuff.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: He just eats for hours. He goes crazy.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Now, why do you watch it, you sick fuck?
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: I don't really know why. When you're really hungry and
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: you want fast food late at night, if you just
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: watch him eat a bunch of tacos from Jack in
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: the Box or something... soothing about it. There's something, and
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: it's also kind of funny and morbid.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: And really booristic. Is he just talking while he's eating?
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he has little anecdotes and he has his boyfriend Orlin,
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: I think, Olin or Orlin.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: And they do cooking recipes too, so they'll cook ramen
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: noodles with cheese and eat those and show you recipes
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: and He'll go around Target in a rascal scooter and
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: do little skits and stuff.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: So this is where we are. This is a big.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: And they're famous.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: They're famous. Yeah, yeah.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to do six shows at the fucking
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: Chuckle Bunnies. Yeah.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, but this is really disturbing stuff. And
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: your mother is a therapist probably is. She probably has
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: just a very interesting, you know, thoughts and ideas about
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: how it got this bad.
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think that we are, like, I think
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: people just want to watch this and just get hooked in.
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's like watching the war, you know, the
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: news and all that shit. We get hooked in, and
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: it's that addictive personality.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: We just get hooked in, and we can't stop watching.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's crazy.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: It is crazy.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unfortunate that there are people whom are.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: They're being enabled and supported to do these really horrible things.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: And it's just going to get, how is this getting better?
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: No, it doesn't. You know, I mean, no, no, no.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. No, it seems not to be.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, my kids, this is very disturbing.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: It's very hard to raise kids in this world, right?
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: With social media and the bullying and the stuff like that.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's difficult.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, you can be on top of it and
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: kind of make sure they don't watch certain things, but
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: it's not easy.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: It's hard to keep them from everything out there.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Very. Very hard.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: They're going to stumble upon things.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then they do post stuff, and they're in
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: secret chats, and they, you know, for sure.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's crazy. It's really wild now, the challenges
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: being apparent.
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: And they watch the porn and all that shit.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, second base when I was growing up was
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: like touching a girl's boobs. Now it's anal.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: It's sped up to an unhealthy degree.
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: It did.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, it's bad out there.
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: But, I mean.
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: What is the good, I mean, really, I don't know.
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: I felt like you were about to say, like, I
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: don't even know.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: I was trying to find.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Uber? I don't know. Postmates?
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's good. You can press a button and
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: get a burrito.
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: But then there's the dark web pedophile and everything else. Yeah.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: That's a problem. Yeah. It's a real problem. It's hard
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: to be funny.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Stan was on stage the other night at the store
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: and he said something brilliant that Roseanne had said to him.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: It's very hard to be funny now when there's no
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: such thing as truth. You're living in an era where
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: truth is really subjective. People don't seem to be swayed
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: anymore by any type of facts.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: They can create their own reality.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: And especially with the internet, you can only see that
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: deepening and becoming more immersive, where everybody disappears into their
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: own world. I mean, this metaverse thing, people can make
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: fun of it, and they should, and I do, but
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: it's coming.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: It's like everything else. Do you know about the metaverse?
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: No, I don't know a lot about it.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Get up, Zuckerberg, the metaverse.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: Now, everything they've done with it has been pathetic and
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: everybody's laughed about it so far because like anything else,
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: it's never going to be a thing.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: As Ray Kump, our friend said, it won't be a
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: thing until it's a thing.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: It's like anything else, but it really is this world
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: where you'll have an avatar. You'll literally pretend to be
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: somebody and you'll primarily be in this digital landscape. Where
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: you are, you know, having a lot of your meaningful
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: relationships and interactions.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: Online, not in real life.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: That makes sense.
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: No, it's coming here. Just take a quick look at it.
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: Imagine you put on your glasses or headset and you're
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: instantly in your home space. It has parts of your
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: physical home recreated virtually. It has things that are only
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: possible virtually. And it has an incredibly inspiring view of
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: whatever you find most beautiful.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's the devil. Hey, are you coming?
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: Just got to find something to wear.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: He's disgusting.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: Horrible.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: All right, perfect.
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, hey, Mark.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on?
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: Hi, Mark.
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: What's up, Mark?
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: Whoa, we're floating in space? Who made this place?
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: It's awesome.
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: It's from a crater.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: I met in L.A. This place is amazing.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: Boz, is that you?
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: Of course it's me.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: You know I had to be the robot, man.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: I thought I was supposed to be the robot. Whoa.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: I knew you were bluffing.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Hey, wait.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: So this is what they want. Jessica, this is what
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: they want the future to be. I'm looking at your face,
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: but this is the plans for the future.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: When is this happening?
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: They're trying to make it happen at ASAP.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: But why? So they can make a lot of money?
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that they can basically, you know, they're trying
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: to curate your life. They're basically trying through algorithms and
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: everything to feed you a diet of what they want
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: to feed you. You buy things in this world.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Right. You consume in this world.
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: Whether they're NFTs, you use crypto, whatever it is.
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. And there's no touch. This is all I
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: keep thinking. There's no contact.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: There's no contact. There's no touch. There's no humanity.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: And you get into this world and you purchase things
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: in this world and you buy real estate in this world.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: You buy a home in the metaverse. You buy a
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: home and people are doing it already.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: And then you don't leave. And then they just sell
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: you things while you're there. And there you go. This
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: is the new thing where, you know, this is... The
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: demo they just ran about, here's the shopping now.
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: This is Walmart.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: This is Walmart. Now you're good.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: Here, you shop at Walmart. There goes the tomato sauce
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: in the thing. And then it's delivered to your house,
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't know, via drone or whatever.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: But why would you want tomato sauce at your fake house?
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: Well, some of this, well, if you have guests, you
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: want to make, do you want to make, you're not
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: going to have pasta or something? No, you don't realize
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: how insane we are. Why would you want a fake house?
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's start there. So let's start there.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Now, I think this might be, they're demoing this as
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: like you would order it and it would be shipped
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: to your real house and you would eat the tomato sauce.
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: Right, right.
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: I get what you mean.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: But don't kid yourself. Fake tomato sauce for that.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, Heineken just did a thing, you could pull
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: this up, where Heineken sponsored some big metaverse thing. It
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: was a big bomb because everybody's like, hey, man, what
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: the fuck is this? But this is coming, they're trying
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: to shove it down your throat and really, make it
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: so heineken launched some virtual metaverse saying it was a
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: complete failure uh says needless to say we all love
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: a frosty cold one every now and then but now
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: heineken is setting its sights on bringing that element into
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: the metaverse brewed with i'm not kidding none of this
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: is a joke brewed with pixels and not yeast heineken
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: silver is the world's first virtual beer So this is
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: all coming. And this is, you have the same reaction
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: that Rogan had when I told him about this. Your
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: kids know more about this than you do probably or will.
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: This is all coming.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: And I'm a little bit of a conspiracy guy where
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: I go, they just really, I mean, you'll have an avatar.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: So if you're 400 pounds, it's okay. Cause your avatar
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: looks like whatever you want to in the metaverse. And
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: it's a little sick that, But there's an inevitability to it,
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: and they want you on this thing so that you
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: can be.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: To sell you stuff.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: To sell you stuff.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, it makes complete sense.
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: It makes complete sense, even though it's the craziest thing ever.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: And I can see it. Like, I can see it happening.
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: I can see it being incredibly profitable for companies.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: And I could see the fun of it.
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: Me too.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: I could see the fun of it too. I go, oh,
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: I can't afford a mansion, but you know what? Maybe
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: I can in the metaverse.
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: Right. You could live this whole play life.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: Whole play life. Yes. Forever and ever.
• 53:42
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: Does it matter that there's a fentanyl opioid epidemic and
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: that there's violence in the streets and that the environment
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: is decaying and the planet is decaying and there's political
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: corruption and there's no health care and you can live
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: a play life? So I think this is what they're preparing.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: Instead of fixing the problems, they're going, how about we
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: all just go to the pool party in the metaverse?
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: That's what's coming because the problems are deep and very
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: tough to imagine solutions to, as we've just said. So
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: what we think, you know, what I tend to believe
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: they're going to say is just go to the metaverse.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: There's already been sexual assault in the metaverse.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 54:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. There's already been all kinds of things, sexual
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: assault in the metaverse. Sexual harassment, this is USA Today. Again,
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: USA Today. Sexual harassment in the metaverse, women alleges rape
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: in virtual world.
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: So the world's ending. So I just want to say that.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: But it is.
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: We talked about that in the car.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: The physical world is ending.
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so the world's ending. We talked about that in
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: your car.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: Eddie Pepitone has a great line. He goes, you know,
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: every generation thinks it's ending, but we're right.
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: No, we are right. You said 50 years. I think less.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to try to enjoy myself as much
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: as I can.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: You have to.
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: You have to enjoy yourself.
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: Within 60 seconds of joining, Schroed, I was verbally and
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: sexually harassed three to four male avatars with male voices, essentially,
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: but virtually gang raped my avatar.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: I mean....
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: Well, her clothes were too tight.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she was out late at night.
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was her fault. She was being too promiscuous.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: So this is where we are. That seems to be
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: where we're heading. It's clownish right now, and it's not
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: real yet, but it seems to be potentially real.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, this is going to be huge. There's no doubt
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: in my mind.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: I think so, too.
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: This is coming immediately.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so, too.
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: I don't even... Doubt that for a second. This is
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: coming out in the next year.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's coming.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: And I think they're going to encourage people to just
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: live those fantasy lives.
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, this is going to be huge.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: And you're going to have to pay for everything.
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: NFTs, these non-fungible tokens, you can own digital property. And
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: I don't even mean like a house. I mean like anything.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: You could buy an NFT of a piece of art
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: or whatever, and eventually it'll be comedy.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: You could buy a joke. Eventually comedians will sell a joke.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, it's going to be, it's all heading
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: to that place, and it seems to be rapidly going there.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: We were, you know, one of the last generations. This all,
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: I guess, eventually has to do with like, you know,
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: Humans becoming AI. Eventually there's a chip in your head
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: that you get right into the metaverse. It's scary, but
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: it is, you know, I think it'll be, I hope
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: the lineups at the comedy clubs in the metaverse are diverse.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: That's my biggest concern.
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my biggest concern too.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: I have anything, even like my kids, is that the
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: comedy club lineups are diverse.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: In the metaverse.
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, there'll be virtual comedy. There already are.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: There's already virtual comedy clubs, you know, during COVID.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: So that's, that seems to be the next step of society.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: Just further into the hall, further into the pit. I'm
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: sorry to show this to you. I feel like I'm
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: showing you something.
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: I'm actually fascinated by it. I don't get freaked. I
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: don't get freaked out by this stuff because I'm a,
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: I'm a very realistic person. So I don't get like,
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: Oh my God. Cause I know this is all coming.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: It's coming.
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: Like it does.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: I went to Art Basel in Miami and I spent
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: 48 hours there and I felt again, like I had
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: swallowed a sheet of acid, but everything that they talked
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: about was real. They go, listen, everything your kids are
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: going to want is, Like instead of a pair of
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: Prada sunglasses or Jimmy Choo shoes or a Porsche, everything
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: for clout that they're going to want to show off,
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: it's going to all be digital. They're going to want
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: to buy things for their digital world.
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It doesn't freak me out because nothing shocks me anymore.

• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: Babbel language for life. You know, it's interesting. Did you
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: ever perform?
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: Because you've been in New York comedy for so long.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: you never performed for Trump or anything, right?
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: Cause they, they like hate comedy, like those types of people.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: But I always wonder like, cause you've been such a
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: New York staple for a very long time. You've probably
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: seen a lot of like politicians, kind of interesting people.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I've never, um, I've never performed for like
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: very big politicians, lower, lower level, but not huge, huge,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: huge politicians.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Have you?
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: Ed Mangano, the Nassau County executive who was indicted for
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: taking bribes, him and his wife were getting free deli platters.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: No, I swear to God.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: Ed Mangano and his wife were. She was given a $ 300, 000
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: job as a food.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: Tester at a deli. So that's like Long Island corruption. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: No, I haven't. But yeah, I'm trying to think. I mean,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: there's been like people in the audience, but no one major.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: And you hate L.A.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: I don't hate it. I'm okay with it for short periods.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: But if I were to ever live here, I'd have
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: to have a job. I'd have to be on a
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: show or something. I could never live here and just
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: try to make it. Right.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough. Where in the country do you perform
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: that's outside of the coast that you really like?
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: Is there a place where you go, I really like
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: to be there?
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: Outside of the coast?
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: See, to me, I love.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: I love working people, so I spend most of my
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: time in Beverly Hills and the Hamptons. Because I like
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: working people. Yeah, I get it. But I like people
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: that work. So I like Beverly Hills, the Hamptons, Palm Beach.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, me too.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: But now outside of that, where are places in the country?
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: But I hate performing for rich people. I don't think
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: they should be allowed in comedy clubs.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: No, they're the worst crowds there are. The worst crowds.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: They're entitled and they don't have anything. They're horrific.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: They don't relate.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: No, I love performing for working people.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I love it.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: They need comedy. Exactly. They're dying to laugh. Yeah, they're dying. Right. Yeah. Yeah,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: they don't even have food. But, yeah.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Well, they have food. That's the only thing we give them.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I'm joking. I love, like, small town, you know,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: places where they don't have a lot of entertainment. Like,
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: you know, they have that comedy club and they go
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: out and they're dying to laugh. Yeah. Yeah, totally. There's
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: a bunch of places around the country that I love
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: to perform in.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: Your live act is one, because there's people that comedies
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: tell are the biggest comedians in the world hate following you.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: Because you are one of the biggest powerhouses on stage.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: Ben's like, have you ever had a follower? I'm like,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: thank God, no.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: That's very sweet.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, whenever we performed, Jessica was always headlining.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: We were performing in churches in Queens for crackheads. And
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: Jessica was the headliner. I was just doing 10 minutes,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: very excited.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: I'll never forget I saw you there and was blown away.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: You're fucking amazing.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: Well, that's very sweet of you.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: I thought you were great that night. Do you know
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: how long ago that was?
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: We're talking 10 years.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: It was a long time ago. And I saw you
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, he is really funny. I mean, you
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: were really, really funny when I saw you.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I just got into comedy hard and I destroyed
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: any chance of, you know, decent relationships and everything.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: I let everything go by the wayside for comedy.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you were great. I thought it right away. I
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: thought he's a great comic. And you've always, everyone has
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: always said, I'm talking from years back. Everyone thought you
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: were great right away.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: This is a script we wrote for Jessica. She's doing
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: very well.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: We went over all of this in the car.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: You're reading yourself a teleprompter in the studio right now.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, people thought you were great. They really loved you
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: from right away. No, everyone has said that about you.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: You have a very good reputation.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: I hope you do.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you do.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're brilliant. I'm not just saying that to
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: be nice. You really, to be this, it's not just
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: with comedy. I mean, you have a brilliant mind and
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: that's why you're so successful.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: It's with fitness.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: You're very smart.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You're with a lot of things.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: You're great with dumbbells.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: No, I, I'm good with fitness. Yeah. And with fighting
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: with MMA.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: You really are.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: That's why me and Joe Rogan get along. We met
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: at the gym.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, I know. Yes. He told me you trained him
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: for like seven months.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: I trained Joe Rogan, but then he wasn't serious about
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: his nutrition, so I had to drop him.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: He eats a lot of sugar.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: It's the never-ending pasta bowl at the Olive.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: Garden with that guy.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: He's a fucking pig.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: And he needs to stop.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: Well, he's in a corset. Do you know this? This
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: is true.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: Many people don't know this.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: He's 400 pounds.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: He's in a corset, so when he leaves the studio,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: he actually just really becomes.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: Busts out. He becomes Lizzo. It's very... Lizzo has a
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: new show. Can we get up the trailer?
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: Which is funny that people think he's a racist because
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: he is Lizzo.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: Right. It's wild.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: But Lizzo has a new show now called Big Girls, which, again,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: another thing my agent could not.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: Get me on.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: And it's called Watch Out for the Big Girls, which, again,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: sounds like a negative, but this is being billed as.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: A positive thing.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: I didn't even know she had a new show.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: It's a new show, Watch Out for the Big Girls.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: What's up, y'all? It's Lizzo. I'm looking for dancers to
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: join me on my tour. Girls that look like me
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: don't get representation. Time to pull up my sleeves and
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: find them myself. I should go on this, because I
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: can dance.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: I want to be on the show.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: It's the battle of the big girls.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: To be a background dancer for Lizzo would just mean everything.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: It's showtime.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: Now, here's my thing, and I'm not trying to be,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to even make a joke.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: What if one of these people has a heart attack?
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: You mean on the audition?
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: Like on the show.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: Like, what if one of the episodes someone has a heart, like,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: would it give anyone pause?
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: Would they go, eh?
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: She'll probably get a lot more votes.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, right. And then she comes back.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: She'll get sympathy votes.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she comes back in and they replace a valve.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: It's a fair, I'm just a fair question.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think that, you know, someone could have
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: a heart attack.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: It's a very good possibility.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: It's a very strenuous show.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: Someone could do a split and shit everywhere because they
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: ate so much food.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's... A lot.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: Of things could happen.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: Someone could have, you know, a stroke. I mean, there's
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: so many different things that could happen.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so my whole thing is just, it's an interesting....
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: And this episode, it doesn't come out this week. It'll
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: come out next week. And this probably is already premiered.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: And I'm hoping that doesn't happen, but it is a possibility.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: So many things could happen.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: It's a very real possibility.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: On the show.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: People could be vomiting. It's a physical... We have no idea,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: but it could absolutely....
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: It could absolutely happen.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: Stuffing down feelings. There's so many.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing. Eating is a compulsion that's emotional.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: I wonder if they eat while they're dancing, if they
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: could just put the food down.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: They eat while they're dancing. But you wouldn't get disqualified.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: No, because you celebrate being fat. So they're all just
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: shoving cookies in their mouth.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: While they're twirling. It really is the end, isn't it?
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: It's gone. We're in it. We're not even starting.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: We're in the end.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: No, it's a severe... It's odd to me.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: It's odd that we celebrate now everybody's. And I mean,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: now we have drug addicts and we all have sympathy
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: for drug addicts.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: We have empathy. We know what it's like.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: But now we have people that we have open air
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: drug markets in cities where people shoot heroin on the street.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's going to be the new reality show.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: That'll be the new one. Or that'll be the next thing.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: People will go like, I'm a proud heroin addict.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: Right. I'm proud of that.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: We should celebrate opioid. Like, I'm not addicted to opioids.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: I choose to use them.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: And it's my lifestyle. And if you have a problem
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: with that, you're an issue.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 3: Right. I'm going to be an addict that chooses background
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: addicts to be around me. Yes.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That'll be the next show.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: Take pills around me.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll be the next show.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: I want a crew of people that love fentanyl as
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: much as I do.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: But it seems like that because we're just celebrating compulsions.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: And addictions. Yeah.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: Because I see this all as through the mindset of
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: an addict. I go, this is all addictive behavior.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: The food. I know I struggle with it myself.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: I just pictured them going on tour and just all
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: these dancers just falling to the ground and dying.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: They're going to die.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: They all just go cardiac arrest.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're going to die. I mean, they're going to die.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: And it's sad, but it's like that, like.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: It's.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: It's sad, but we're making fun of it as people
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: who struggle. It's like I'm literally.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: I struggle too, but I don't go. When I make
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: a bad food choice, I never want others to do it.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: Me either.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: I'm never like, hey, this is the way to live.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: No, I don't want people clapping and cheering me on.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: I want them to get me help. I want them
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: to help me.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: It would be very weird if I pulled into a
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: McDonald's late night and And there was people around me
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: cheering like I was finishing a marathon.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like handing me nuggets. Like you hand someone a
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: towel or like water, like they're handing me ketchup packets. No,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: I want you to like help me.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems to just be a problem. And I
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: don't know why it wouldn't eventually be drugs. Right.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: Like that's the next thing.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: And we already kind of see it where they just don't, don't.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: Persecute people that are doing heroin in a tent and
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: you go i'm not trying to persecute anyone but it's
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: not good for them it's not good for it's not
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: good for tent cities to be there um it's not
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: a positive thing.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: Well we should really celebrate them because you know right
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: at least well yeah.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: Well that's what people do no people do and they
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: go you know we and it's like So to me,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: I think that may be the next reality show. It's
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: just people in the tents.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: I think it will be.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: We're maybe a year away from the first homeless celebrity.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: Like a homeless star.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: You know what? I could see it.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: Yes. For sure.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: A homeless reality show.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: Yes. Where they're like a star.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: And they're, you know, and they're known.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 3: I guarantee there's going to be one in L.A.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, we'll be ground zero.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: And it'll be people that are kind of like, hey,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: I love this. Because there is a whole thing now
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: where they go, well, if we offer you a bed
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: and we offer you a home and you don't accept it,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: we can't allow you to stay on the streets. And
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: then people go, no, you can't do that. You have
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: to let people camp on the street.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: You have to let people... Not only that, but you
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: need to give them lighting. You need to give them
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 3: a kitchen.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: A den.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: You have to let.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: A porch.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 3: You have to... Yes.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: You have to let them be on the street if
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: they so choose to stay on the street and use drugs.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: And they don't want to live in the thing.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: So we're getting to a point now where why not
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: celebrate everything?
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: And it's a bit scary. I've made a lot of mistakes.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: I've never.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: celebrate, like I've never been like, you know what's a
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: good idea? Stay in the closet till 25, do cocaine, drink,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: quit that, and then eat a lot. I've never said
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: that's the way to do it. I've never said I'm
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: a bad bitch. That's why I did that. I said
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: I would do that because I was in a lot
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: of pain, it was very hard, and I didn't find
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: something I liked to do. And then I finally found
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: something I liked to do, and I transitioned out of
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: that behavior, most of that behavior.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 5: But.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because you want to try to help other people
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 3: and you want to explain to people that it's not
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: a great decision and you don't want it to be celebrated.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: You want to like be an example and try to,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: Again, I don't feel like fat people should be made
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: fun of or ridiculed or anything.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 3: But I don't also feel like it should be celebrated
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: because it's not healthy, right?
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: It's not healthy.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: That's why I'm trying. I do something about it.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: People disagree with you. They go, it actually is healthy.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: No, it's not.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: No, it's not. I, when I was that large, had
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: high blood, very high blood pressure. I felt very sick. I,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: my cholesterol was high. I was not well. I was
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: very sick. I was not doing well physically. Now I'm like,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: everything's good.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: My back was out. My knee was killing me.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're saying to be 500 pounds is a
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: detriment to your health. Because that is a controversial statement
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: in some corners of the internet.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: It's a lot.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: There are people that go, you can be 300, 400,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: 500 pounds and it doesn't have any negative health effects.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: I know those people need help. This is what I'm
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: talking about. Those people really need to see help.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: And how do you help them? How do we help them?
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: You can't. You can't. They need to be put down.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: When I say that, I mean that, and I'm joking,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 3: but they cannot be helped.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: It does seem like a zombie movie.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no, you can't convince people, there's a lot
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: of people now that are going to believe what they
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: want to believe, and they're stuck in that, and there's
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: no way of convincing, you know that.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: You can't convince these people.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: They just go to the metaverse.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: They're done, that's it.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: They just go to the metaverse.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: People are stuck in their beliefs, and you cannot, to
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 3: try and convince them that that's, they're, no, no. It
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: is healthy to be 500 pounds. You're wrong. What am
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: I going to try to convince? It's a waste of energy.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: They're done. They're gone.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 5: Bye.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: Great. Yep.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: Blow up.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: You're healthy.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: Do you think you'll stay in Long Island forever? No. Yeah.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: But right now I'm on the road so much.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: And that's where Danielle's family is. So it's like they
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 3: help the kids.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: Because I know my eventual, and I don't know when
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: it is. It might be years and years down the line.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: My eventual thing is probably the west coast of Florida.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I will. I always grew up in Florida. I mean,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: both grandmothers had a place in Florida.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: Or the East Coast. I don't know. But Florida.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: I think Florida. I love Florida.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm there a lot.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: I love Florida.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 3: Because we have a place in Delray.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: So, my family. So, I'm there. I was just there
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: and I'm going back next week.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: I just came from there the other day. Yeah, I
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: love Florida. But I think we're all going to end
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: up in a home with guns and, you know. just
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: like mining our business and protecting our home and our
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 3: family because this world is, I don't know what's happening.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, what a positive note.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: I know. I really, I know. I just wanted everyone
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: to feel safe and okay while we were ending this.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, you're going to, everyone's going to spend time
• 1:16:56
