Hi, coming up is not only a well known musician and comedian, but
0:05
also one of my good friends. His name is Dave Hill.
0:08
He's my doppelganger. I know you guys have talked
0:12
about it. We look alike but we are
0:15
different people, OK. And this will be proof in the
0:20
pudding, so check it out. Dave Hill.
0:39
Sit, sweetie, baby, sit. Oh, hey, Dave.
0:48
Oh, hey. Rich.
0:49
How are you? Good.
0:50
How are you? I like your outfit.
0:52
Oh. Thanks I I put it.
0:53
On back at the. House, thanks.
0:57
So you come to London quite a bit.
0:59
Yeah, this is London. By the way, I really like it
1:04
here. And The thing is, there's a lot
1:08
of stuff going on in America right now.
1:11
I don't follow the news. Right, Right.
1:14
No. This is not a political show,
1:16
but we just want to kind of dip our foot in and say, right, it's
1:21
very, there's a lot of stuff going.
1:23
On yeah, it's pretty crazy, yeah, cheers.
1:28
It's. Very cheers to staying away from
1:31
the crazy. Yeah, it's like America's this
1:34
homeless guy, like yelling on the street.
1:37
Big. We just kind of want to cross
1:40
the street. We want to help him out, but
1:44
it's very difficult. It is, yeah.
1:48
But you know, I'll go back and then I'll just dive head first
1:51
into all of it. You're dealing with it, that's
1:54
the thing. Some people will look at me and
1:56
they'll go. You've you've chosen to divorce
1:59
yourself. I'm still voting.
2:02
Yeah, you're still voting. I mean, like I, yeah, I don't
2:06
think, I mean, I don't think there's any great benefit to
2:10
being as long as you're voting. As long as I'm voting.
2:14
You know, I mean I, I if. I didn't vote.
2:17
I would be upset with myself. Yeah, I'd be upset with you.
2:20
I mean, you know, when I'm, I'm there.
2:23
Where do you I take? To the streets.
2:25
But but yeah, I mean, there's really voting is the most
2:29
important thing. You live in New York, but where
2:32
do you vote? In New York.
2:34
So it's kind of you. Should vote in Ohio.
2:36
I know, I know, I should probably fix that.
2:39
I am from Ohio. But then that would be like
2:42
tricky. I don't know how I would do it
2:46
because I've been living in New York for, you know, the past 22
2:51
years. What a city, huh?
2:53
Oh, it's yeah. You can't beat New York.
2:58
Why did you never go to LA? Oh, because I don't believe in
3:02
myself, No. Isn't like a big jump to go to
3:08
LA? Yeah, I mean, I never there.
3:12
I think it's complicated maybe of of not real.
3:16
I guess the main thing of not liking it that much, but I do, I
3:21
do like it out there a lot. I don't.
3:22
I don't. I don't like driving.
3:23
It's a nice space to visit a lot of driving if you don't like
3:28
driving. Not a fan?
3:29
Forget it. Yeah, and.
3:33
Forget LA if you don't like driving.
3:35
But the other thing is, is maybe, yeah, maybe, like, I
3:41
don't know, maybe maybe deep down inside I was, I was afraid.
3:44
I don't know. I'm I'm just positing that.
3:48
I'll tell you what possible I wished because I went from
3:51
Chicago to LA via London, and I feel like I wish I had had a
3:57
time in my life where I was in New York even for a year,
4:03
because then I could say I. Did it, I feel.
4:06
That I've been in New York a lot, yeah.
4:09
We've spent time together in new.
4:10
York, we've hung. We've had some wild times.
4:13
Oh God. I mean, I don't know what wild
4:15
but fun times. You have a big dog in New York,
4:18
too. Which is weird.
4:20
Yeah, she's my sweetie, baby. I don't know if you have the
4:24
technology to like. Yeah, we'll put it here
4:27
probably. But yeah, she's 70 lbs boxer
4:31
Pitbull. Sweetie, baby.
4:32
Yeah, but we we hang out, we're 24/7 when I'm home.
4:37
What are the reactions when you walk down the street with her?
4:42
With a dog, I mean, I think people, she's very sweet and
4:46
gentle. Sweetie, baby, Yeah.
4:48
She's my sweetie, baby. Established that.
4:50
But I think people sometimes are afraid of her and in them same
4:54
way that they're afraid of me until they know that I'm I'm the
4:58
sweetest. Yeah, I was afraid of you.
5:00
Yeah, I was afraid of you. I was.
5:02
Someone was just talking about this in my life somewhere.
5:06
Why did you know people always compare us and think we're the
5:12
same person sometimes? Put your face right here.
5:16
Do we look alike? Yeah.
5:19
I mean, I should be so lucky but.
5:21
I should. I but I was talking to Oh Ali
5:26
Farnakian the other day. Sweet.
5:29
Yeah, and. Sweetest guy.
5:31
And he mentioned you and and then I told him the story about
5:38
how before you and I met people like would always be like,
5:43
doesn't he remind you of Rich Fulcher?
5:45
And then and we've talked about this.
5:50
I could be wrong but. I got the same thing.
5:52
But I feel like, and this is a maybe a generalisation that's
5:56
not accurate, but I feel like when with women, you say like,
6:00
oh, you should meet my friend she, you guys are so much alike.
6:04
I think women are more like, oh, wow, I'd really like to meet
6:06
her. But with men, you go like, well,
6:09
I, I need to kill this person, right?
6:13
Because there can't be two of us.
6:15
Yeah. So I was like, I don't know this
6:16
Rich. Take you up space.
6:18
Yeah, so my, my first thought when I met you was like, I I
6:22
have to kill him. Also.
6:26
No, I was a fan I but by the time I met you, I was I was well
6:30
versed and you know. It'd be my I was.
6:33
Same with Fox and all that. So I had I had shed my desire to
6:37
kill you by the time I actually. Met good Oh.
6:40
But there was like a good chunk of time when I did intend to
6:44
kill. You but you know what I found
6:47
more times than one, like it's like setting people up for a
6:50
date like you 2 would be really good friends.
6:54
And whenever they do that, it doesn't work because you're
6:58
trying to force it. And yeah.
7:01
And what do you talk about right away?
7:02
It's like, well, hi. Do you like pizza?
7:07
Yeah. I notice you stand a lot just
7:10
like me. Yeah.
7:12
And it just seems it takes longer than usual had we met
7:17
just randomly to become friends. But we're we're eventually
7:21
friends. Yeah, yeah.
7:23
I've been to your home. You've been to.
7:25
My home. I've been to your home.
7:26
I've been. I've been by sweetie baby.
7:30
No, I haven't. I'm the godfather to your all of
7:34
your family. You gave him a BMX bike.
7:37
I did, actually, yeah. I mean, that was pretty cool.
7:40
That was one of the best things. He went to the bike track the
7:43
other week. Really.
7:45
Yeah. So they actually ride it.
7:48
My youngest has trouble standing up and writing, but he's getting
7:52
used to it. Yeah, that, well, that was the
7:54
thing. Like I didn't know that about
7:55
BMX bikes. You have to stand.
7:57
You have to stand. And I had bought one a couple
8:01
years ago at the in in Edinburgh.
8:04
I was doing the Fringe Festival and I bought.
8:09
AI forgot to take this off. Oh, can I take this off?
8:12
It's going to be so hard to edit.
8:14
OK? Like what if I say something and
8:17
then you're like, that would be go better here and.
8:19
Then I just realised that I'm supposed to wear a different
8:23
shirt every podcast. Oh, so it seems like time has
8:26
passed. Yes.
8:27
Yeah. Do you want to trade shirts?
8:36
That's a nice shirt. I tried to.
8:38
I got. Stains on.
8:40
It I dress, you can't tell. I don't see it.
8:42
All right, wait. I one with your podcast and
8:46
show, I noticed that you dress that dress up.
8:51
I do. Yeah, so I was like, I'm going
8:54
to dress. Well, you're.
8:56
I'm going to. Shower.
8:57
I love this. Where'd you get that?
8:59
I'm glad you asked. I don't remember, but I think
9:03
someone gave it to me. A nice thing is that people get
9:09
Yeah, people. Accessorise.
9:12
Access. Well, when my mom died.
9:16
I'm. Sorry, no, I didn't wasn't
9:18
setting and saying that. I wasn't pausing for a window
9:21
for you to say that, but thank you.
9:25
But my my sister gave me all of hers and her, my grandmother's
9:31
brooches because they were like, we don't, my three sisters
9:34
aren't brooch. They don't have like brooch
9:36
lifestyle. Yeah.
9:37
Yeah, they're not into the brooch sand.
9:40
They were like, oh, we thought you would like these.
9:42
So I started wearing them and then then people would see that
9:46
and they'd start giving them to me.
9:48
So. Oh cool, so.
9:50
You nice people at chose would be like here you go.
9:52
So I think this that's what this.
9:53
Says you get broached all the. Time which, yeah.
9:58
You get approached and broached. I get approached and broached.
10:01
Yeah, so, but I, I did put this on because I thought this is a
10:05
visual show and yeah, better get it together.
10:08
I need to accessorise maybe wears a bow clip or something
10:14
yeah If you have any ideas people in the audio viewers yeah
10:17
yeah we have viewers and. Listeners and listeners.
10:21
Yeah. Well, The thing is like, once
10:24
you get, yeah, it's a slippery slope, you know?
10:27
You start to get too many. Well.
10:30
And then you're all yeah. Actually like, well, can I wear
10:32
a brooch and have a pocket square?
10:34
And a nose ring. Yeah.
10:36
No, I've never had you. I've never had a.
10:38
You've never had a piercing, have you?
10:40
Years. You did.
10:41
No, you didn't. Yeah.
10:43
No, you come on. No, it's closed up.
10:45
I had it for a little bit. When what?
10:50
It just seems not I did. What?
10:57
No. Oh my God.
10:58
You know, of course I did. No, you didn't.
11:01
Piercing when? While No.
11:04
No, you didn't. Yes, When?
11:08
Surprisingly, when I was in law school.
11:11
Really. Yeah.
11:12
Yeah. Oh my gosh, yeah.
11:14
It was way back, you know, when I was crazy.
11:18
I was a crazy I. Can't picture that.
11:20
I didn't know you then. But it was only for a little bit
11:24
and then I just took them out and then they closed up.
11:26
Yeah, they closed up, yeah, but usually you can see like a
11:30
little scar when people have had them and then.
11:33
You cannot see. See, and I'm like, I'm on to
11:35
you. I know about your past and you
11:38
can put a whole thing together. What sort of things did you have
11:43
when you were younger that you people could find out about?
11:49
No piercings? No.
11:51
Tattoos. No tattoos.
11:53
I thought about getting one once and then I didn't.
11:57
Weird, weird wardrobe choices. Yeah, there was.
12:01
That's, I think, like there was a period where I wanted to dress
12:10
cool. What?
12:11
No, What? What did you say?
12:13
As a woman. As a woman, no.
12:15
I think like, I wanted to be like, I'm a guy who dresses cool
12:17
and crazy and, and I started buying clothes that I'm
12:24
horrified that I wore. What?
12:27
Like what? Like kind of no, but like
12:33
velvet, like leopard skin shirts.
12:36
Those are cool. Though you know it was cool at
12:39
the time. You can wear those now.
12:41
I could, but I'm not like, Oh my God, like I'm not like
12:45
embarrassed about it, but like I think I was just, it was just
12:49
part of on the way to dressing different.
12:54
Where were you in your life? You were in college or.
12:57
No, like probably because there was like a period.
13:00
No, I'll tell you the biggest OK, I I had a band that formed
13:05
in college with my friends and called.
13:09
We were called. Meat sack No.
13:12
No, we were called Sons of Elvis, which is we were, you
13:16
know, we were literally teenagers as a not a good band
13:19
name, but some sometimes we will think it's a great band name.
13:21
But and we we made, we had a record deal and we were like
13:27
really stuff. Yeah, we're on the radio.
13:30
This is like in the 90s. I know you're like, well, those
13:32
numbers don't add up because you can't possibly be that old,
13:35
Dave, I ain't get that. But yeah.
13:40
And there so there was 1. Is that when you went to New
13:43
York or? Yeah, yeah.
13:44
We formed the band at Fordham in the Bronx and and so there was
13:51
11 show where like we're trying to like look rock or whatever.
14:00
And I was like, I'll, I'll wear like I think I dressed in a
14:05
grunge fashion for one show. Yeah, one.
14:08
And and that like I realised how stupid it was and.
14:11
I Was it Ella, Kurt Cobain, or. I think it was like, I was like,
14:17
yeah, I don't know. It was very like embarrassing,
14:21
but I think I was. It was a one.
14:24
Off it was literally 1 show in like Buffalo and like my
14:27
bandmates laughed at me which they should have.
14:30
So they they didn't get the memo about everybody.
14:34
I think everyone kind of was dressing in a badly.
14:40
The way I see it with the band or as a developing a persona is
14:45
you try a lot of things, find out what sticks, Yeah.
14:48
And then you go, this is it. Yeah, that was not it.
14:53
We're going to flash a picture of it, but you?
14:55
Could find it that mean it's very like I had like Kenny put
14:59
yeah this swap out the dog photo OK put that.
15:03
Yeah, we have the dog on the whole time until we get this.
15:08
Oh my. Gosh, yeah.
15:10
But yeah, you try stuff out. Stuff out and you know, even
15:15
fails. But do you do this?
15:17
I think my whole life, I'm horrified by almost everything
15:23
that I thought, said and did just five years ago.
15:27
Like every five years, it changes so fast.
15:30
I'm like, Oh my God. But The thing is though, you
15:34
could play it safe and just do the usual whatever coat and tie.
15:39
But you don't you go, you, you stretch the boundaries and after
15:45
a while it's going to fade and then you're going to look at it.
15:49
It's always going to look a little bit, you know, passe.
15:53
Yeah. But don't throw it away and
15:57
it'll come back. Yeah, yeah, right.
16:00
I think so. I didn't know we were going to
16:03
be so into fashion in this episode.
16:05
No, me neither, but I'm glad I feel like we haven't discussed
16:09
fashion. Now you.
16:12
Yeah, we. Are now I'm thinking I have a
16:14
pair of your socks. You left a pair of socks in my
16:17
house. They have holes in them.
16:18
No. OK, good.
16:19
I might have worn them. I've got to get into this habit
16:22
now. I have too many socks, so if
16:26
anyone has a hole in it, I'm going to throw it away.
16:28
I. Was just going to say that I I
16:31
sometimes will sit down, I have a sock based drawer and I'll go
16:38
in there and be like, get out of here, you're out.
16:40
You know, I vent. Yeah, holes.
16:43
Yeah. In olden time, you know, when I
16:47
was growing up. You darn.
16:48

I wish I would have known. I just got my friend Tim.
20:57
I did not get the tickies I got in the queue.
20:59
That's. What everyone said it was like
21:01
crazy but my. Friend, did you get tickets?
21:04
You didn't get any. I my friends are were coming
21:08
over from the from Ohio Cleveland and my buddy was sort
21:17
of want to go to see Oasis as I figured if you're going to see
21:21
Oasis on this tour when we would be like a fun place to do it
21:26
here. Yeah, you're in town.
21:28
Were you a fan? Honestly, come on.
21:32
Well, yes, but I when they first came out, I was just a little
21:37
baby. No, but I was, I remember being
21:42
like put off by. Two days going to click.
21:45
No, I, I I I don't know even know if I heard the music like
21:49
with the first record. It just sort of.
21:51
Maybe I heard one song or whatever, but they I was just
21:54
like, oh, these the thing that I find funny.
21:57
The whole bit like being arrogant.
21:59
I now I think it's really funny. But at the time I I wasn't
22:04
paying close enough attention to realise how funny they were and
22:08
they are funny. So I was just like, who are
22:10
these jerks? And then when the second record
22:13
came out, I remember I was in some bar and it was on and I was
22:17
like, oh, that every this whole record so good.
22:20
So it's. Just amazing how big they got.
22:24
Yeah, it's crazy. So I'm bummed that I missed like
22:28
so I'm a fan, but I've never I don't think I've ever listened
22:31
to them like with another person.
22:34
And that's not I'm. That's not me taking a.
22:36
Shot. I'm just saying that I've just,
22:39
I've listened to them a tonne, but it's always like.
22:42
Well, you're going to listen with about 40,000 people, yeah.
22:46
So I'm excited. No, but I'm a big fan.
22:48
And, and I also, I think, yeah, they're, they're so funny.
22:54
Are you going to go backstage? I don't know.
22:58
I think there's probably a chance that will happen, but I
23:01
don't know get some Eminem's that would be a scenario where.
23:07
You just went back to get the fit and then left.
23:10
No, but I mean, you got to figure out if I did go
23:12
backstage, like you know them or anyone, they're not like, oh
23:19
man, I want to get a picture with this random dude.
23:23
But I think if they had the opportunity.
23:25
They. Do I Would I'm friends with one
23:28
of the guitar players? What?
23:30
We're not friends or I know where my friends friends with
23:34
some of the people in the band. So one of the guitar players, I
23:38
know his wife. You're tied with a lot of
23:39
musicians. They're my best friends, Oasis.
23:42
They're better friends than comics, right?
23:45
Who are better friends? Comics, musicians or magicians.
23:50
Well, magicians, yeah, I actually have.
23:53
AI just had a magician on. Oh, really?
23:55
Yeah, I have some magician friends.
23:57
Michael Casey and maybe he might be the only one, but David
24:02
Blaine. David Blaine is probably my best
24:04
friend after Noel Gallagher. I think, I don't know, it's kind
24:10
of a case, but probably generally I think musicians like
24:15
in general are maybe mentally more.
24:21
Stable or who's more needy, comics or musicians?
24:26
I would think comics probably, but I tend to be the comics that
24:31
I'm friends with, I think are like, not ones that are like,
24:38
hey, what like? What do you mean high energy?
24:43
Yeah, like you. Say I'm not high energy.
24:45
Well, you're like probably the top of energy of someone that OK
24:50
comfortable being friends with but.
24:52
Musicians are kind of like come on over and hang, whereas comics
24:56
are like, I got to do a gig in 1/2 an hour.
24:59
Yeah, yeah. And then yeah, I'm plus with,
25:05
you know, with comedy, like I'm not one of those people that's
25:09
like, oh, I got to like I was comedian friends where you're
25:13
like, oh, do you want to have dinner?
25:14
And like well, I got to do a set here at 10.
25:17
I'm too worried about tomorrow. Yeah, and.
25:21
I got to get some socks. Yeah, yeah, I got to get socks
25:25
and I'm doing this one gig and I heard you might get socks at the
25:27
end, I'm not sure. I don't know how to deal with
25:30
it. Yeah, but what?
25:31
What is the sock etiquette? But I don't know.
25:35
I don't know. There's probably good and bad
25:37
and and involved. But I I like both and I guess
25:41
I'll probably equal. I think it's good to have
25:43
friends from different walks of life.
25:46
Yeah, totally. Yeah, I I think I pretty much
25:50
do. The only the only area I really
25:54
don't have friends and I really try.
25:55
Taxidermy. Tech No, I do have a.
25:58
Oh, you do. And.
25:59
Yeah, I do. What's that like?
26:02
Can I? Do you want that beef?
26:05
Well my friend, I have a friend and she she started doing
26:09
taxidermy, like just on her own. The hobby.
26:13
Yeah, like I asked how she got into it and she's like, I was
26:16
walking home and I found a dead bird on the.
26:19
Sidewalk. I have to be careful how I say
26:22
this because I know you can edit it to make it seem like I did
26:24
this, no? Yeah.
26:26
But she was like, yeah, I was walking home and there was a
26:29
dead bird on the sidewalk. So I picked it up and put it in
26:32
my purse thinking that I would learn how to do taxidermies is.
26:36
She one of the Kennedys, is that it?
26:40
Yeah, she's. My God, I love this sister but.
26:45
She she just learned like looked it up like how to do it and she
26:50
learned how to do it. And then she gave me like a few.
26:55
She gave me like a chicken, a bird leg of some sort that I
26:59
have in my house. It makes me a little
27:00
uncomfortable. What, like a stuffed bird leg?
27:03
Yeah. On a like mounted or something.
27:07
No, it's just like on a it's hanging on my wall or something.
27:11
Please send in the picture we can show.
27:13
I'll, I'll send it in to the show, please.
27:15
But she only does like things that she finds like she doesn't
27:20
like go shoot something. She's like preserving things she
27:24
has and reusing things. Yeah, yeah, I got I would I see
27:28
what sustainable. She doesn't go out and kill
27:31
them. No, no.
27:32
So she's probably doing the world a favour.
27:34
I think so. She's making beauty out of
27:37
death. Yeah, yeah.
27:39
Which is, you know, I think good.
27:42
I don't have many friends that are in like hardcore
27:47
professions. Like.
27:48
Like I don't have a doctor friend.
27:51
Do you have a doctor friend? I do, yeah, I do like shit.
27:55
You got friends everywhere. But like, yeah, I have doctor
27:59
friend. My brother's a nurse
28:01
practitioner, which is like it's a doctor the next notch over,
28:05
but we don't talk about medicine that much.
28:07
Because he like politics. He gets kind of annoyed when I
28:11
get when I ask him stuff. Oh, like freebie advice?
28:15
I don't think he's upset that he's giving it away.
28:17
Be in the office, Dave. But he'll like, you know, I'll,
28:22
I'll be like trying to get him to diagnose things over text and
28:26
stuff like. That Are you a bit of a
28:27
hypochondriac? No, maybe I don't.
28:34
I think as I get older, you know, I started having various
28:37
maladies. I have tinnitus now.
28:42
Or tinnitus. In your ear.
28:44
Yeah. And I was freaking out.
28:46
Fuck. And I, I started, I was, I was
28:49
freaking out and I started going to every possible.
28:52
Well, it's a ringing in your ear, right?
28:55
Yeah, and it's. From being in a band.
28:58
Well maybe but then I had my hearing test and they said my
29:03
hearing's fine but like everything can cause it like
29:06
stress, depression like TMJ like and grinding your teeth which I
29:12
do and and. Maybe there's an exercise you
29:16
can do? Well, it's funny you mention
29:18
that. There isn't no, but I did like
29:22
acupuncture and the acupuncture is like you got to relax.
29:26
And then I went to an ENT and they were like, I don't think
29:29
this is hearing damage. Then I went to an audiologist
29:32
and they were by then I was, I hate this.
29:34
I was losing my mind. Yeah, like just make it go away.
29:38
And they were like, you're, you don't have any.
29:40
You're, it's not hearing damage. And I was like, well, can I
29:45
still play music? And they're like, yeah, I'm
29:48
like, can I go see bands? And they're like, yeah.
29:51
And like, well, what do I do? And they're like, just you're
29:54
fine. Just live your life.
29:55
And I went. I swear when I walked out of the
29:57
building, it was gone. Because you relax.
30:00
Yeah, but then like it came back like 2 days later.
30:03
It's right. But now I only hear when I'm
30:04
talking about it. So like right now.
30:06
Do you hear it now? Yeah, because I'm talking about
30:08
it. And is it just like white noise?
30:11
You just it's going on, it's. Kind of a mix of like, you know,
30:15
and you can hear like the sound of like fluorescent lights in
30:18
the department store. Or Oh yeah, yeah.
30:21
Or yeah, or like it sounds like sand is draining through my
30:26
skull. What if it stops?
30:28
Do you notice? It does never.
30:29
Stop. But if it stopped, would you go?
30:32
Yeah, I've had moments where I think it stopped, like if I'm on
30:36
the street I don't can't really hear.
30:38
It. So in a way, if you go to a
30:39
concert, it's kind of stopped because, yeah, you know, really.
30:44
Yeah, but but my SO, my sister sent me.
30:50
What does she do? She's works in healthcare but
30:53
like on the. Shit, you do have a doctor
30:56
family. Yeah, well, not.
30:57
She's not a doctor. She.
30:59
Might as well be she. Sent me like these stretches to
31:02
do that I was supposed to like loosen up your neck and like and
31:06
so I started doing it. I was like, so I decided to
31:13
well, first, well, I sorry, I was like one day I was like, I'm
31:16
just going to do yoga. I'm going to like try to reset
31:18
my whole. So I went.
31:20
Just, you know, I'm everything's going to get it.
31:23
Yeah, so now I do yoga all the time, which is my whole
31:27
personality. You do?
31:28
Are you good at stretching? Yeah.
31:32
George, my wife does. I have a big.
31:33
Tree tattoo? No, I don't.
31:35
My wife does yoga, she's really good at stretching.
31:38
It's really good I I like it. She's like the teacher's pet.
31:43
Oh, really? Yeah.
31:44
Oh, maybe I'll go to a class with her while I'm I.
31:47
Can do. It I went, my sister was all
31:50
like, she's like, you should get a massage.
31:55
And, and so I was in Newcastle, England, here where we are now
32:02
in June, and I was, I had a day off and I was like, I'm going to
32:05
go get a massage. Happy ending please.
32:09
Well. That's the thing.
32:10
I was like looking and I was like, I'm just looking on my
32:13
phone to like what looks the least happy ending right of all
32:18
of them, like. Not the time massage.
32:20
Yeah, well, like I'm looking, I'm like this place.
32:23
And then you realise like, oh, they just use like stock photos.
32:26
I'm like they have a candle. They can't possibly candles
32:29
jerking people. Off.
32:31
So I'm like, I'll go to this place and then I got there and I
32:34
was like, this is 1000% happy ending place.
32:38
But I was like, I walked. In how do you ask them ahead of
32:41
time? Well, you don't do happy endings
32:44
to. You, I kind of, I did it kind of
32:47
sort of, I walked in and it was all these like coloured lights
32:52
and stuff and I walked in and the woman walks.
32:56
She was the, I guess the rooms were down there.
32:58
We were downstairs. She walks up and there's like a
33:01
cucumber cut in half, like sitting just out and I was like,
33:06
hi, you know I'd called in a few minutes before and I was like,
33:11
hey, I'm the guy that just called just like, OK, I just
33:13
want to eat something real quick.
33:15
She grabs the cucumber, takes 2 bites, sets it down.
33:19
She's like, OK, let's go and and we go downstairs and there's all
33:24
these lights and like a nice. That's what you need.
33:29
Relaxing and then we go in this room and she's like get
33:34
undressed I'll be right back and so I.
33:37
Everything. Well, no, I said.
33:40
I said I just want you to massage like my neck and
33:44
shoulders and stuff. Like that's all I want.
33:46
No, but no. But I I just said that's what I
33:49
want, I thought, implying that I wasn't there for any anything
33:53
else and. Face and happy ending, yeah.
33:58
Here and. Yeah.
34:02
But like, no, it's not. I I couldn't.
34:05
I mean, I that's not yeah, I would be, I would, I would have
34:09
to go on like a silent retreat or something.
34:12
If I got happy ending, I'd be so guilt ridden.
34:15
I would truly. Where's Dave?
34:16
Like he's in the Himalayas, but. But I mean, aren't you?
34:22
Aren't you to assume most masseuses are not going to give
34:26
you, they're just going to be straight?
34:29
I don't know, I yeah, probably, but I don't know this place.
34:35
I I went in and they knew right away.
34:37
You know those security, those like monitors that have like a
34:41
bunch of different cameras. Yeah, yeah, They got the
34:43
entrance, So they have one and it's like the entrance and all
34:47
the different rooms in the massage place.
34:51
And she leaves, shuts the door. I keep my jeans on.
34:57
I just get them to have my shirt off.
34:59
She, I see her on another month. This is probably the thing that
35:03
I'll ask you to edit out later. I see her in the monitor take
35:08
off her shirt, not naked but like but she changed her shirt
35:14
and I don't know. I was like, she must know.
35:16
Every time she changes that. Yeah, I was like, well, she must
35:19
know that I am in here and I see what's.
35:22
I was very confused. And then she comes back and she
35:26
kind of looked that I was wearing my pants and kind of
35:30
laughed at me a little bit. No, I mean and then I'm going
35:34
to. Have to take these off.
35:36
Oh my God. And then she gave me a massage
35:39
and there was no good, no funny business good, but and I called
35:45
my sister. I was like, well I got the
35:46
massage, but I'm pretty sure it was a happy ending place.
35:53
Right. Yeah.
35:54
Wow, but. She was pleased to hear that I
35:56
didn't. Yeah, my sister.
35:59
Oh, good, good. Yeah, yeah, you did it.
36:03
Also the woman, she kissed me when I left, which I thought was
36:07
odd. And it was called Jeffrey
36:09
Epstein's massage. You should have known, Dave.
36:14
I know, but I, I don't know, but you got to figure out whether it
36:17
was or not. Happy ending plays.
36:20
They know I'll massage your shoulders, which is all I.
36:23
Want, yes, you got whatever you wanted you got.
36:27
Yeah, and she just kissed me on the cheek.
36:29
It wasn't yes, it wasn't a full throated.
36:32
No, no, no, no. Yes, that was at the laundromat.
36:36
That was at the Barber. The laundry Barber.
36:40
Yeah, wow. You have some experiences, you
36:43
know. I don't know.
36:45
You can't. You can't use any of this stuff.
36:47
What? This is all unedited all the
36:52
time, right Kenny? Kenny doesn't really edit, he
36:56
just goes play cut. Because people, people listener,
37:01
they watch and then they they can't.
37:04
I don't know, Dave was talking about getting a happy ending on
37:07
Rich's show and Rich is just laughing, these guys.
37:10
Have been garbage. Yeah, stop this.
37:13
I don't know that it was that kind of place, but I was just
37:15
nervous about. It we have a kind of religious
37:18
audience as well. Yeah.
37:21
So are there, are there crazy religious people here?
37:26
Where? In England and all the great.
37:29
Not as much, not as much. Did you grow up here?
37:33
You were. You are.
37:35
You did. You just, oh, Episcopalian.
37:40
That's so they play golf, Yeah. Yeah, that's a good one.
37:44
Yeah. I was thinking actually, because
37:46
I, I was raised Catholic. And then there's I was watching,
37:49
there's this video. Have you renounced?
37:53
I looked it up just for fun because I just thought it would
37:55
be a funny thing to do because when it.
37:58
How do you renounce? It's I did read somewhere that
38:03
you just write a letter to your local Bishop and say like, I'm
38:07
out. Tell the Pope I'm yeah tonne.
38:11
But I heard you can do that. But then I was like, Oh my, I
38:14
don't have a printer so. Maybe it's like covering
38:17
yourself, you know, like I'll stay in, but I'm not in.
38:21
Yeah, I don't know, but Episcopalian, I think.
38:24
Is it better version? It's like a better version of
38:28
Catholicism. It's like the Church of England
38:30
in a lot of ways. Yeah, they seem like more
38:33
enlightened. Yeah, yeah.
38:37
I don't know. I.
38:38
Don't know same outfits. Yeah.
38:41
I like churches though, like whenever I especially.
38:45
Like here. Yeah, whenever I'm in, in United
38:48
Kingdom or the continent, whatever what it like the rest
38:52
of Europe. Or whatever.
38:54
I'm going to run this by you. OK?
38:56
The the size of a town was initially what the categories
39:02
were. Was village, town, a city,
39:06
whatever was by what kind of church was there?
39:10
Oh, like if you had just a Chapel, you were kind of a
39:13
village. If you had a cathedral, you were
39:17
a city. Yeah, game on.
39:19
Yeah, I don't know if this is true.
39:22
Right in believable if you'd like.
39:25
Yeah, dear Rich, your hand job obsessed guest during that
39:32
episode. You.
39:34
You. Swiftly segwayed into religion.
39:37
Thank you. Bless you, my child.
39:41
But I do like to go look at at the old churches here.
39:44
What do you look at? Do you go in those old little
39:48
corners where people are getting happy?
39:52
Yeah, yeah, we're really masturbating furiously.
39:55
No, it's. Just what is it about it in?
39:58
My opinion, it's so big yeah, I will.
40:02
Do you have the architecture and just?
40:05
You know. I find myself going in those
40:08
places. I like it and I the history and,
40:12
you know, sometimes there's like bodies sealed up in it a lot of.
40:16
History. Yeah, there's history
40:19
everywhere. So what else?
40:20
You're going to go to Oasis and you're good.
40:23
You went to Rotterdam. Yeah.
40:25
And then you're going to go. I'm glad you asked, Rich.
40:29
I'm going to go to Paris, France on Monday.
40:33
Never heard of that. Yeah, it's an upcoming up and
40:35
coming. It's kind of I would say you.
40:36
Missed the Olympics? The London of France, I'm going
40:41
to go there for a couple days for Fashion Week because no, I'm
40:46
going to go. Do you know Brian Babylon?
40:49
Comedian. I've heard of him.
40:51
He has a clothing line and so he's putting on like some comedy
40:57
shows as part of Fashion Week, and that's great.
41:00
And then so I was going to be in the neighbourhood, so I was
41:04
like, I'll come over and do that.
41:07
That sounds awesome. Yeah.
41:08
Now you're going to be interpreted as you, as you
41:12
speak. Or are you just going to do it
41:15
in English? Yeah, that's the only language
41:18
I'm really good at. I don't even know if I'm good at
41:20
that. You're good.
41:23
I'm OK. And so is this on a ramp?
41:27
Are you going to be on a fashion ramp doing a set?
41:31
I don't think so. I hope so, but I don't think so.
41:37
Yeah. I think it's just at some place.
41:39
And that's got to be fun. There's going to be a lot of
41:42
Swank there, celebrities. Maybe I don't know, but
41:48
celebrities, but I don't know. I think that would be fun.
41:54
And then you go from Paris, or do you come back here?
41:57
Is that strong? Yeah, I don't know.
42:00
I don't know what I'm doing anymore.
42:02
No. Then I go back to New York.
42:06
Right. Yeah.
42:07
Do you have anything going on there?
42:10
No, it's over. What's happening?
42:12
In my life, yeah. What's going?
42:14
On. Yeah, I'm doing.
42:17
I've been touring around the United States and I'm doing
42:22
some. It's doing quite well.
42:24
You're doing a lot of college towns right?
42:26
Oh, whatever. Towns will have me, really.
42:29
But I'm going to go and do. I've been doing shows with Bill
42:33
Murray. The.
42:35
Bill Murray Bill Murray and his He has a band.
42:37
I saw him with your shirt on. I know, isn't that wild?
42:42
Yeah, it he's, I couldn't believe it.
42:44
Like Sketchfest, you know, in San Francisco they had Bill
42:47
Murray and his Blood Brothers, which is like his band.
42:51
It's really Bill Murray and the Blood and his brothers, the
42:55
Broad Blood Brothers, Mike Zito, Albert Castelia and Jimmy Vino
42:58
and all these guys are in this band and they, Sketchfest asked
43:04
me to open for them like last January or February, and I
43:11
didn't know who they were. No, we had.
43:14
Done a lot of films. Groundhog Day Yes.
43:18
No, I'm just familiar. But I didn't I but I was like, I
43:22
don't even know. Who knows if I'll even meet him,
43:24
You know, I didn't even know. Right.
43:26
He might just, you know. Yeah, I mean, you know, I didn't
43:29
know so. But then right when I got there,
43:33
I met him right away. Wow.
43:35
And he said I was really impressed by this.
43:40
He said someone said, hey, Bill, this is Dave.
43:43
And he said he shook my hand. He said hi, I'm Bill Murray,
43:46
which I'm always impressed when that's impressed when someone.
43:49
Says their name is. One of the most famous people on
43:52
earth I Because not all of celebrities do that, Yeah.
44:00
They they, they assume you know their name, so they never say.
44:03
Often. But the two people?
44:07
Maybe he was trying to remember it so he's constantly reminding.
44:11
Him maybe that's what that I mean that they say like when you
44:14
meet someone, you should say they're use their name over and
44:17
over and burn in your brain. Yeah, yeah, I'm not good at
44:19
that. Me neither, I call everyone
44:21
buddy. Oh shit.
44:23
But they do a mnemonic device where you know, like their last
44:26
name is ham, their faces the side of ham.
44:30
Yeah, yeah, that's what I do whenever I see Jon Hamm.
44:32
Yeah. From afar, But no, the two
44:36
people that I I remember is Bill Murray and Slash from Guns and
44:43
Roses. I met him once.
44:45
Why do you ever. Say, Slash from Guns N' Roses.
44:50
Because I was, how many slashes are there?
44:52
Well, yeah. But I met him and I, I said hi,
44:56
I'm Dave. And he said, hi, Dave.
44:58
I'm Slash. And I was really impressed
45:01
because he had the hat on. He was in the hat.
45:03
I was. Glasses, Yeah, he didn't need to
45:06
say I'm Slash, but I but it really struck me the two of them
45:12
anyway. So we did the show with I did
45:14
the show with Bill Miller. First night I came off stage and
45:17
he walked up to me in one of my T-shirts and I was like.
45:22
And then he told everyone. Maybe he stole it.
45:25
He may have stolen it, but yeah, that was so nice of them.
45:29
So then he had my shirt on and he's like.
45:31
Bill, that's $20. I was like, but no.
45:35
Then he said, I want to introduce you to someone.
45:37
And he led me through his dressing room and he's like,
45:40
this is Don Novello. You know, Father, we are so.
45:43
Gucci. Who lives in San Francisco, so
45:46
I'm a huge fan of. His Laszlo Toth.
45:48
Yeah, so I met him and that was a great thrill.
45:51
Oh man. And ho.
45:54
But you meet everybody. I meet everyone and then so then
45:58
they asked me to do some more shows.
45:59
So I've done a bunch with them and I'm going to do some of them
46:02
this fall. So I'm looking forward to that.
46:05
And then does. He play with the band.
46:08
Bill. Yeah.
46:09
Yeah, he sings. He sings, he's a good singer.
46:12
Yeah, he's great. They do a version of Like a
46:15
Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan but. In the Bob Dylan voice.
46:20
No, in the in the Bill Murray voice.
46:24
And it's great. It's like really like kind of
46:29
reinterpreted very powerful. I like it.
46:32
People cry. That song has been reinterpreted
46:35
so many times. Their version is the best
46:38
version. It's truly like, people are
46:40
like, moved. It's pretty honest, really.
46:43
Yeah. You have to see it.
46:44
You hear it? I have to say, I saw Bob Dylan a
46:46
couple of times, and he's kind of a couple of times he kind of
46:51
just ploughed through it. Like it was like, I got to get
46:56
this song over with. Yeah, He's like, drink a lot of
46:59
wine dancing into it. Bye everybody.
47:06
Yeah, I don't know. Well, I I heard that he started
47:08
singing that way in that voice like.
47:12
When he got a happy ending. Yeah, he got a happy ending.
47:16
He went, he went into this massage parlour with the best of
47:19
intentions. And then he just, there's a
47:25
neck, there's around the neck. I know that that's no one's
47:30
going to believe that story. It's not like it's a great
47:33
story, but it's also like. It's a great story.
47:36
We're going to make it great, yeah.
47:37
I just said. Happy ending animated.
47:40
Or something, I don't know. Do you like Paris?
47:43
Do you? Are you like a big?
47:44
Paris I do. I really.
47:47
I love it. Like.
47:50
Do you just like to walk around? Yeah, I do.
47:54
I I love walking around endlessly.
47:57
Are you? Like Emily in Paris.
47:59
When well, I I saw a couple, maybe one episode of that show
48:04
and I. I secretly wanted to watch that
48:08
show but. Well, I think any show that's
48:10
set in Paris is already like going to be fun to watch because
48:15
it looks because it's Paris. And then you're you're like, oh,
48:18
I want to be there. But whatever that I that show I
48:23
wasn't worth. I couldn't watch.
48:27
It I went that's. Great, it just wasn't for me.
48:30
About a year and a half ago, I went because I was in a show
48:33
that was the production company was French.
48:35
So I had to do the costume fitting there.
48:38
Oh, nice. And it was in this, it's kind of
48:40
an alleyway, right? And I was walking around.
48:44
I had some time before I went back and I'd saw this guy
48:48
throwing up and I was like, he's walking so slow.
48:52
I had to like take about 30 yards before, you know, to make
48:59
sure we had enough distance. And I watched him throw up, and
49:03
then I waited till he was, you know, going.
49:06
Did you? That was.
49:07
Well, wait, did you, that's what I'm wondering, but did you, was
49:11
it one of those OK, it was me. Well, when you because I do this
49:16
a lot like when you were you like I think that guy's throwing
49:19
up. I need to know for sure and you
49:21
kind of went in to make sure. No, I knew.
49:25
But then you you could have. I saw.
49:27
It but then you. But then you really looked
49:29
though. I did look it was coming out.
49:33
I always do that. And I was like, OK, what's my
49:37
strategy here? I always do that in New York
49:41
where someone's doing, like, something.
49:44
Yeah, like, get over here. But what's a?
49:47
French boot. I, I in New York, I always see
49:52
people doing various things. And like, one time I saw this
49:58
guy, he's like kind of slumped over against the building.
50:03
And then he gets up and he starts shuffling towards the
50:07
street and he's undoing his pants.
50:10
And like, my thinking, I was like, I think this guy's going
50:13
to take a shit. Yeah.
50:16
And so, well, because he was like, he was dropping his pants,
50:21
yeah, but the thing to have done would have been like, get out of
50:25
here. But no, I found myself going,
50:29
oh, yeah, yeah, he's taking a shit.
50:31
There's the shit. Did you film it?
50:34
No, but it's like burned in my brain.
50:36
And another time I was walking along and I saw a guy sitting on
50:42
the ground near my apartment, and I was like, I think that
50:45
guy's. In front of baby.
50:47
No, my old apt a couple blocks away and I was like, I think I
50:53
could see like some sort of movement in his lap and I was
50:57
like, maybe he's playing with a kitten or something, I don't
50:59
know. But then I was like, I think he
51:02
might be jerking off, but I'm. And so again, the thing to have
51:06
done would been like walk away, get out.
51:08
But I was like, be polite. I need to find out for sure that
51:12
he was doing and he was in fact. I was in New.
51:16
Speaking of throw ups with me in New York, it was rush hour in
51:21
the morning and some guy he was, he looked like a regular Wall
51:26
Street guy. He had a briefcase, a suit on.
51:29
He literally was walking down the street, just turned to his
51:32
side, just in stride. He wasn't.
51:35
He barely even stopped, went and then just kept walking.
51:41
He was like, I got to throw up before I get into the office.
51:44
Oh, gosh, yeah, yeah. And that guy was.
51:49
Was Charlie Sheen. He was filming Wall Street?
51:53
No, no. So you're going to Paris, back
51:55
to new. You're living this lifestyle.
51:58
Yeah, glamour. And I, you know, I have to
52:01
vicariously live through you. I live vicariously through you
52:05
though. No, please, please.
52:10
I just do the podcast and that's what I do.
52:14
I'm a podcaster now officially. You're a podcaster?
52:19
Yeah, I use the microphone. Afraid to call myself a
52:22
podcaster but now I'm like out and out.
52:26
Yeah, you're like ipodcast. What cards?
52:29
What? Yeah, you have cards.
52:30
You've got notes, I've got my glasses.
52:34
And then you have these mic. These are the official
52:36
podcasting. And also, Dave, I know we didn't
52:41
discuss this, but I have a segment in the show that I do.
52:45
Is this one of those gotcha things?
52:47
Yes, we're bringing out your third grade teacher who touched
52:52
you inappropriately. Randy.
52:55
Randy, we have a segment called Fill in the Blank where I'll say
53:02
a sentence just five and you just tell me what comes in your
53:05
head. OK.
53:08
Other than my hometown in New York City, my favourite US city
53:14
is Oh Blank. That's not bad.
53:18
I think New Orleans, maybe. It's a good city.
53:24
San Francisco, But I should just have one answer.
53:26
Yeah, blank is the weirdest place I ever fell asleep.
53:31
Blank is the weirdest place. Oh gosh, I don't know if I've
53:40
fallen asleep anywhere. You haven't.
53:42
I fell asleep in church once in the front row when I was a kid.
53:48
We can't use that. Yeah, no, but I fell asleep.
53:53
I went by myself. I didn't go with my family for
53:56
some reason because like I had like, whatever, some school
54:00
activity or something. Yeah.
54:02
And so I had to go like we couldn't miss church.
54:05
And I I went and I sat. I don't know why, but I sat in
54:08
the. Did they see you did the guys?
54:10
I fell asleep in the front row and the priest like started
54:15
talking about me like joking during his homily.
54:19
And as Jesus fell asleep in Corinthians.
54:22
No, the whole church. So did this little boy.
54:26
Yeah, they, the whole church was laughing at me and I woke up
54:29
like and I, I ran home crying. That's got to be a nightmare.
54:34
Yeah, I was mortified. I was.
54:36
I ran home crying because I was like the whole church was.
54:39
Laughing. That's not good.
54:40
I was 27. I think that blank will be my
54:45
next big purchase. Oh I'm glad you asked.
54:50
I honestly was thinking of buying a jacket that I saw in a
54:53
store near here. A furry jacket.
54:56
No, it's not furry. Just like a Sport coat.
54:59
Oh. Nice.
55:01
What do you mean like just separately you wear a like is it
55:06
like double breasted? Or it is actually.
55:09
You like the double? Breasted.
55:10
I do, yeah. Because I I like to cover up my
55:15
body. Teats.
55:16
Yeah, my teats. OK, the most underrated band is
55:21
blank straight up music question.
55:25
The most underrated? Band, I mean, it's maybe they're
55:29
not underrated because they're still one of the most the
55:32
biggest bands in the world in history, but I, I think the
55:34
kinks maybe. That's so true.
55:38
You know they're I mean. On the 1:00.
55:39
Hand they're one of the biggest groups of all time, but to my
55:44
mind, they're not. They don't get what?
55:45
They they never get talked about in the top three, right?
55:49
No, they're always like. Maybe top five or six.
55:53
Yeah, I like Lola, but they are great.
55:56
They're Ray Davies. Yeah, amazing and like so many
56:02
great songs and and the lyrics are great.
56:05
Great. Hilarious, funny, great,
56:10
eclectic, universal. I saw Ray Davies walking around
56:15
once. Really.
56:17
Yeah, in his neighbourhood I was like.
56:19
Oh, hi, Gate. Right, we blew it.
56:23
Edit that out, Kitty. If I could only do one more gig,
56:28
comma blank is where I'd do it. You can name a city or a a
56:33
theatre or a place you'd like. Oh gosh.
56:38
One more gig this is. It this is it.
56:40
And then I'm out. Well, no, you have to do no more
56:44
gigs. No more but.
56:47
You're not gonna die. I'm.
56:49
Not gonna die, I'm just out. You're just out of showbiz.
56:52
All of this stuff about happy endings, it's just ruined your
56:56
career. Yeah.
56:58
You're just out. I'm cancelling.
57:00
But you go, can I do one more gig?
57:02
And they go yes. But do and but what?
57:04
And people are going to come to this thing.
57:06
Maybe. I don't know, because it's like,
57:08
of course I'm going to go like, oh, Wembley Stadium, but I
57:13
probably, I could maybe fill a section, maybe a city, London
57:20
maybe or, or Glasgow or. Well, you can also think of it
57:27
as like, it's one more gig, so I want my friends to be able to
57:31
come. No.
57:32
No, OK. No, maybe, no.
57:36
Maybe my friends could come. Maybe New York, I don't know.
57:40
Or London. I don't.
57:42
Like the way I answered. This I don't like when family
57:44
comes. Was it Yeah, there was a correct
57:47
answer. No.
57:48
Oh I love my family but my like one sister would be like.
57:52
Not enough medicine and she'll. Be like, are you doing new stuff
57:57
or is this all stuff I've seen before And like trying to like
58:02
decide whether she should leave the house when when I come to
58:06
her town city they have it. It's funny you don't do that
58:11
with her. Like are you going to give me
58:13
Tylenol again like you always do?
58:18
Yeah, they yeah. Do I feel like there's a thing
58:23
like if you're in the arts or whatever, people?
58:29
Think you're always creating? Well, no.
58:31
People think that it's fair play to just, like, make fun of you,
58:36
Yeah. Or critique you.
58:37
Yeah, yeah, like. Hey, you know what you should do
58:40
with that Saturday Night Live? I'm not even on Saturday Night
58:44
Live, but I get somebody says Rich is an entertainment.
58:48
Hey, you know what you should do with that?
58:50
That Lorne Michaels. So it might my siblings, we all
58:55
have like a sibling text chain. And one of my siblings said, oh,
59:01
what's it? Called.
59:03
I think it's it's just our doesn't have a name.
59:06
There is another one with. Doctors.
59:09
And doctors and lose and the doctors and the one who refused
59:13
to grow up, The doctors and the childless 1.
59:21
But one of them was like. And she knows who she is.
59:25
Said oh we used to ChatGPT at work.
59:27
So I decided to ask it to describe Dave Hill's comedy and
59:34
she's like, and it was spot on. And so she sent over what
59:38
ChatGPT described what I do and I was like, it's not wrong.
59:44
And for then she's like, and then she said, I also asked it
59:49
to to write a Dave Hill monologue and it was spot on.
59:54
And I was like, if she sends this into the text, No, it was
59:58
really bad. And.
1:00:00
I genuinely think it was not anything that I would ever say
1:00:05
kind of stuff, but I. This is where you have her is
1:00:10
she and her job can use ChatGPT but if you do it it's a problem.
1:00:17
Yeah, but my, my, I was telling my therapist and he's like, you
1:00:20
should, you should confront her about doing it.
1:00:23
Did it make you angry? I'm like, yes, it did make me
1:00:25
angry. She and he's like, what did you
1:00:27
do? I'm like, I did nothing.
1:00:30
I did absolutely nothing. No, I threatened to leave the
1:00:32
the family chat. She just doesn't understand, no,
1:00:36
so you shouldn't falter for that.
1:00:38
No. You should pity her.
1:00:40
I will intend to. No, I love her.
1:00:44
Yes, you should love her with a side of pity.
1:00:47
I want to do. Do you get a lot of people when
1:00:51
people say? Drop down from the sky on to my
1:00:55
head, Yes. No, but like, no when people say
1:00:59
things to you about like. Fuck face.
1:01:02
Yeah, like my I, I was. This is the same sister and I
1:01:06
love her. Don't again preface, I was doing
1:01:09
a show in in. In by the way, Dave loves all of
1:01:12
his relatives. Yes, we're going to put.
1:01:13
That and and and he's never gotten paid for any sex of any
1:01:19
sort. And by the following people,
1:01:23
masseuses, firemen, bus. Drivers but but I did this show
1:01:32

1:01:35
just happened to be here and at the show and I was opening for
1:01:40
Michael Shannon and and Jason Arducy and friends like the
1:01:44
R.E.M. Tour and so he, I think was
1:01:48
probably coming to see them and then so ended up seeing me do my
1:01:52
opening set and he said that was great.
1:01:55
I can't wait until you're successful.
1:01:59

1:02:03
saying. But I want I want to make a
1:02:04
coffee table book of of people that in SO.
1:02:09
Trying to be nice, but yeah, do that.
