  Speaker 2: are doing really well. Like, I've been in the business
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: my whole life. Like, I have. I mean, since I

  Speaker 2: dick or any of that shit. I'm really happy for you.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: And I've said that to you before, and I know
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: how hard it is. Take it in. I know it's
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: hard to let love in, isn't it? It's hard to
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: let love in. But it's coming from Pauly Shore. I'm
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: very happy for you, for real.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I know how hard you've worked. I know how hard
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: you've done this and how it's just kind of taken
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: off for you. So I see your Instagrams, and I
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: see all these people that you're playing in front of,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: and I'm very, very happy for you because... It's fucking awesome. Thanks, man.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's fucking like, you know, it's pretty cool.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: You always have something kind of supportive to say or
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: inquire when I see you. And so I want to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: say I appreciate that, man.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I appreciate you appreciating me. All right. I
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: appreciate you appreciating me. You said, go on. No, no, no. Gesture,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: what's up? I think we should take our hats off now. Okay,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: hats off. You know what I mean? Hats off. Because
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: it's the rat and the weasel, bro. Chinese. The hair
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: looks good, man. Thank you.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: It looks great, actually.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I was with Gary Shanley's hairdresser. He set
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: it up for me, so that's good stuff.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Dude, when you said, yeah, you have a tough time
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: letting love in, that's true.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, very much so, which is why I'm single, which
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: is why I'm sure you're single. Yeah. You know what
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I mean? Because, yeah, women like us, most women like
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: us because we've been on TV and movies or they've
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: seen us on our thing. Like, oh, my God, I
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: love Biodome. I love the squirrely rat or whatever your
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: fucking shit is on the stage. The bad pigeon, yeah.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: The bad pigeon, you know what I mean? But then
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: after that, you're a human being. And you're a person
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: with a brain, a heart, a smile, all that shit.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, you don't know
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: if they're liking you for the rat. Let me see
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the rat tail. Let me see that. Throw that shit
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: out in the back. Yeah, that fucking rat shit. That's
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: tight ass shit.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I pull this out on Easter sometimes. And actually, we
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: did this. I'm thinking I'll get like a half inch
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: extension on this part.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: It's very Bon Jovi back in 1987, dude. It's very
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Bon Jovi.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: First song I ever listened to was Bungie.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: But for real, is it hard to let love in?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think it's hard for me to notice
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: who is appropriate for me to love, but I think
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it's hard for me to feel. It's just somebody could
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: sit there and tell you, man, I really love you.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And I'd be like, all right, buddy, let's keep it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Let's keep it– or a woman. Hopefully it's a woman.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: All right, woman.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Let's keep it moving here. It's just hard for me
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to like– I just– Yeah.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I also think that– My receptors are bad.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I think that once people get over the fact that
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you're the celebrity and all that stuff, then you're stuck
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: with you as a human. And then at the end
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: of the day, like that's really what it's about. You
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? Do you want to hang out?
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Do you want to go get sushi? Do you want
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: to go fuck around? You know what I mean, right?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Well, I think sometimes– this is interesting, Paulie, and I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: think it's like– Well, sometimes I wonder if by creating
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: a life or aiming for some level of popularity, if
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you're really trying to create an ambiance or create something
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: between you and other people that gives you a barrier.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Does that make any sense?
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because they see the persona. Yeah. and they
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: think that you're the persona. Like sometimes, like I was
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: with this girl.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Like I'll create it so you never even have to
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: know the real me and maybe I don't even know
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the real me. But so I'm gonna make this and
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: hopefully you'll like this.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because what happened was is about three months ago
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I met this girl on the road. I think it
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: was in Iowa with my uncle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I met this girl and she loves Son-in-Law. This movie
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I did a long time ago, Son-in-Law. And she wouldn't
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: have sex with me unless I put on my chaps
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and I put in my hair because I used to
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: have long hair. So in order for me to have
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: sex with her, guess what I had to do? Put
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: it on. Put it on. Wow. Yeah, and then I
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: had to do all this shit like that. And then
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: once I orgasmed, then I'd take the shit off. And
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I left. I felt bad. I wound up at Waffle
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: House by myself at the end of the night crying
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: with a fucking tear. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I think if you have to dress up to have sex,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: it's probably going to get– yeah, I would cry after.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I can do this right now. Okay,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I'm all right. I'm all right. Thank you.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: No, I'm here for you, man. And I'm happy to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: see you today.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: You know what? I saw Kid Rock on this right here,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: and I have something to fucking say to you, motherfucking
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Kid Rock. Tell him, dude. First of all, don't disrespect

• 7:34
  Speaker 2: to go on tour with this guy.

  Speaker 1: You don't even fucking know. Wally barely remembers it, bro.
• 7:39

  Speaker 2: Is he still his DJ?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: No, Uncle Cracker does perform with him sometimes, but Uncle
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Cracker is on tour right now, I think, with Kenny Chesney, actually.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: So this is when I found- It was Jay-C right there.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: And the C was for Cancer, wasn't it? What happened
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to him?
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: He just partied a lot. He was partying with Mini-Me
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: and that whole crew.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is like- They called him Andy Pillanakis. People
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: would call him because he would do like a lot
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: of pills.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So what happened? So the first time I met
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: JC and Kid Rock and all this stuff, it was
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: fucking crazy. Have your guy pull up Conan O'Brien, Limp Bizkit.

• 8:36
  Speaker 2: and fucking Limp Bizkit, Conan O'Brien. So I'm with Fred,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: because this is when Fred started on MTV. I had
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: been on MTV for a long time. I was kind
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: of sad. I was going through this kind of transition part.

• 8:52
  Speaker 2: for a long time. And we went to Conan O'Brien,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: and Fred was performing, I think it was Faith. You know,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: he was the George Michael song Faith off of one
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: of his albums. And me and Kid Rock went with Fred,
• 9:06

  Speaker 2: is where I first met Kid Rock. Look at him.

• 13:04
  Speaker 2: he started, there it is, Funny Bones. Yeah, but he
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: started the store because he needed a place to work
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: out and stand up, kind of like Joe at the mothership.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: You know, Joe was like, he's like, I need a
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: place to work out. I go out to the mothership
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: and I have a club. So that was kind of
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: his vibe.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Do you see that when you go to the mothership now?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Do you feel some of that same energy almost in.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: A weird way? Yeah, I definitely feel my mom there.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I feel my parents there. Yeah, for sure. You know,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: it's great. I mean, he's got bar mitzvahs. And all
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: that stuff. And Joe's, you know, it's weird when I
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: see the guy, I start crying. I always fucking cry
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: when I see him. There's like an emotional connection that
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I have with him. It's fucking weird.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: It's funny you say that. That happens to me sometimes.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: When I'm talking with Joey Diaz, sometimes that happens with me.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: It's like it just like, I don't know, I'll think
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: some things about his life or something and I'll, I
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: don't know what it is, but my eyes will well up,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: you know?
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And Joey Diaz is, yeah, all those guys. And
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Holtzman's doing great.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Holtzman's doing great. And I tell him, I'm like, don't
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: leave the mothership. You know, just stay at the fucking mothership.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: You're funny. You're going to hit. Because, you know, he
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: wants to make it like Dave Lucas and fucking– and
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Cam and Montgomery and all these guys that were on Tony.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, dude, just hang in there. You're fucking great.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And now he's starting to sell tickets. So if there's
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: anyone out there that wants to see a crazy motherfucking comedian,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Brian Holtzman is fucking awesome from the mothership, and we
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: love him so much. One of a kind, dude.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Brian would get up. This is one of my favorite
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Brian Holtzman stories. So when Jeff, Piano Jeff, died of cancer,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: covid or hiv right you could take your pick he
• 14:42

  Speaker 1: like a hot gay district he told me about it
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and um Yeah, he always took a whole bunch of pills. Yeah,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: and he was always partying and just, you know, he
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: was always, you know.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Too lost.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Well, no, I wasn't saying party pills, like HIV pills. Oh,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: he was? Yeah, he always had like a fistful of
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: HIV pills. Okay, well, I think so. No, pills like,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, that make him feel better. Right, well.

  Speaker 2: That are supposed to support AIDS. You know, the kind
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: that Magic Johnson has. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Those type of pills. Those Laker snacks, they call them now,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I think, right? Because I think that Lakers sponsor them now.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I think we should put our hats on.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? We can mix it up. Oh, yeah, sure.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Because we got Gary Shanley here.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that time of day. But he would also,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: in between taking pills.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: What does it say? In 1986, I was diagnosed with HIV.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: I was diagnosed with HIV.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Cole told you, you have two years to live. Here's
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: a pamphlet with some information.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Good luck. Yeah, and he lived forever. Yeah, and now, yeah.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: And this was, you had to take 20 pills a day,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: he said right there. Now he also was doing cocaine, right? Yeah.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Part-time or whatever, semi-part-time. But anyway, bless him, no judgment.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: None of this is judgment. But so they had a
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: call during COVID where it was a funeral. It was
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: his funeral over Zoom. It was a Zoom mural, right?
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Or whatever they called them. And so we're on there
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: and people are crying. And, you know, Whitney was like
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: wearing a kimono and wandering around her mansion or whatever,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: you know? And like, just, there was 75 people on
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: there and his Jeff's sister was on there and she
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: would speak. And every now and then, Brian Holtzman.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's fucking hilarious.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Would chime in and go.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: He had AIDS, people.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Right, right, right.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: He had AIDS. Right.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: And people, everybody would die laughing, bro.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. He was the Harvey Milk of our time.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Just, Holtzman would just throw in these, like, it was
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: a pure comedy set and it was just one of, like,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: it was that thing where it's like, laugh at the pain,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you know? And it was just unprecedented. But yeah, it's
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: great to see him thriving over there.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, his style is, you know, it's an acquired taste.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: It's an acquired taste. You know, he does a lot
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: of these videos where he'll film people leaving his show.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Have you seen that? It's fucking hilarious because there's a
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: lot of people that leave his show.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? They get pissed off. So
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: they film it and people are like, that guy's fucking disgusting.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I'm going to call the club. Really? Pull one up.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Pull one of those videos up where Holtzman just clears
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: a room. He clears a room, dude. He had AIDS.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: He had AIDS.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's... Jeff's sister was crying and he
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: put that in.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Turn it up. What's up?
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: What did he say?

  Speaker 3: Look. What did he say?
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: He's pretty... He's pretty... You want.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: He's what?
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Too much.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: That guy is.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Like he's too much. What the fuck are you talking about?
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: You can't with a 40-ish group. You can't. I'm a
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: fucking teacher. That is not for me. No thank you.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Fuck you and fuck him.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: My family will pay our bills.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Don't worry.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Someone has to represent a generation. It's not you. Fuck him.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: I don't fucking care.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: You guys got to go see him. Okay, there you go.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's basically, he walks a lot of people.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Hold on, let's see. This is five minutes later. Look
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: what happened.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: This guy's fucking talking about fucking.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, fuck that.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: No, seriously, what did he say? No, honestly, you're fucking lying.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, fuck him. I don't know.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Did you guys pay for that bill? No, what's that shit?
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Give me my fucking money, you motherfucker.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: That's classic. I didn't know they do this. They have
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: to keep doing more of this.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But anyways, but it's a good time for comedy, man.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: It is. It's fucking crazy, dude. It's crazy. When I
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: was growing up, you know, it was five guys that
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: were selling out the rooms that you guys sell out.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Is that true? Yeah, that's true. You had Dice, you
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: had Eddie Murphy, like three or four other guys. And
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: now there's a lot of fucking guys. Like the rooms
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: you play, it's insane. Oh yeah, it's crazy now. It's
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: fucking insane. I can't even believe it. I mean, you
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: must be pinching yourself. You walk out on the stage,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: it's like fucking what, 20,000 people? No, no, no. 10,000
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: people and they got Ari Maness? How the fuck, right?
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: I'm grateful to have him around. Ari's a sweet guy.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: He always speaks very highly of you.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, cool. Always.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes. I've taken him out on the road. The
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: thing is with you and I, Because we're similar in
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: a way. Like, we go out on the road and
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: we bring these guys. And, we know, and you know,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I know, and everyone else knows, the reason why people
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: are paying for the tickets is for us. But at
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, you got to take care
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: of your guys. And you also, they're there not just
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: to open the show. They're there to hang out for
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: you emotionally. And that's more important. So you got to
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: give them a little extra shekels for that. That's a
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: good point, man. You know what I'm saying? And that's
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: what I do. And I pay for everything. And I,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: you know, I take care of my guys because, you know,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day, we're lonely guys, me
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: and you. I mean, let's be honest. And if they
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: weren't there, you'd have some local opening for you, and
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: then you wouldn't be able to be with your homie. Yeah. Well,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: it's definitely true. Yeah, you kind of factor that in.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: It's like you think like, okay, I want to just– yeah,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: your opener has almost become.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Who– Emotional support animal.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Who do I like being around? Who likes being around me?
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Who can we both be around each other?
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Hang.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: It's all about the hang.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: You know, like just sitting before you go on and
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: you feel like those are your real friends. Yeah. And
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: I think that's more important. And then obviously you're giving
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: them stage time and they're making some money. But at
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, we're fucking, we're broken wings, dude.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: You know, we're fucked up, dude.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: If your mom was pretty attentive and she was really
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: kind of there, what do you think kind of made
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: you that, turned you into the comedian, you think?
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: For me, I just, I don't know. I mean- I've
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: always loved making people laugh. You know what I mean?
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Ever since I was a kid. I mean, it started
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: with Richard Pryor and Robin Williams and all those guys.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Because back in the day, I talk about this on
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: my one-man show. I have a one-man show that your
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: dude told me he saw. It's called Stick with the Dancing.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: It's about my childhood. And it's everything before I made it.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: It's all the shit that I have before I made it. Yeah,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: it's all my childhood shit. But when I was a kid,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: you know, my mom used to have a lot of
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: parties at the house. So she would always be like,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: let's go back to the fucking house from the store.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Yeah. And everyone would go
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: to the house, the Doheny house where, you know, where
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: I grew up in. And, you know, and it would
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: be like a Tuesday night and I'd be trying to sleep.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: And I'd hear the party going downstairs. I had to
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: wake up for school in the morning because my mom's–
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: my mom's guardian, who is a Thai lady by the
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: name of Sunni, and the bar manager name was Ted,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: and he worked at the club, and Sunni would have
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: to take me to school, and I had to wake
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: up in the morning, but they would be partying downstairs.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: So I had to go downstairs, and I'd have to
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: tell my mom to shut up. I mean, but for real,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: because my mom was from Wisconsin, and her voice would go,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: and it would peer through the fucking laughter, and there
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: would be Richard Pryor, and there would be Robin, and
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: fucking Argus, and Richard Belzer, and and Tim Thomerson, and
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Biff Maynard, and all these fucking guys. It was wild, dude. Like,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: my shit, like, when I, like, the fact that I'm
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: still around and I'm okay is fucking weird.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Oh, I can't imagine. It's
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: fucking weird because I've seen so much.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like you had, you felt like you
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: had to compete to be, like, oh, well, in order
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: to be even seen, I have to be funny because
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: that's the environment.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: No, it was just, no, because when I told them
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: to shut up, I had school in the morning, everyone laughed.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: So it was like, that's what. Of course, dude. Yeah,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: they would just laugh. So it was like. I was,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: you know, I guess I was funny without knowing I
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: was funny when I was, you know, when I was
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: just a kid. But I always liked making people laugh. Like,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I always fucked around. And that's what Totally Pauly was.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, Totally Pauly was like this kind of like
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: happy accident. You know, the thing on MTV. It was
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: just like this fucking storm. Yeah, how many episodes did
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: you guys do of it? We shot six years, dude.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Six years. Every day from 3 to 4.30.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Jesus.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: That's what I was telling you when you came up
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: to my house. I'm like, dude, you're like I was
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: back when I first made it because you're like this.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: People are like, ah, on you. And that's how it
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: was for me. But I was in my 20s.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: How old are you?
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I'm 44.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: So imagine it when you're in your 20s. I can't.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: I would not be alive.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I'd be deceased.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I'd be deceased.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: But at least then the cocaine was safe to do.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because you did a lot of that. I did
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: some of it. Not a lot, though.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I did a little more than I said. I just
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: said I did. Yeah, I did. Yeah, I did it.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because you have mental stuff too, right? Are you
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: better now than you were?
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, some stuff's better. But I think, what do I,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I don't know. You know what I
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: liked about, I think, I just didn't trust the fucking world, right?
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: There's just something about the world I didn't trust. I
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: didn't trust it out of the gate.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: You trust me?
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I didn't trust the world out of the gate. But
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: there was something about a joke, right? that you couldn't,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: if I got you to laugh, if you laughed.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: It was like. Yeah, I think we should take our
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: hats off. Okay, I'd love to. Okay.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I think it's a great idea.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Do you have glasses? Yeah, I do have some. Yeah,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: let's put some glasses on. I think that, don't you
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: think it makes sense? Will you bring my glasses? Yeah,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: just because we're trying to do. They're in the front
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: of my book bag. They're lenses-less. Yeah, we're trying to
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: do a theme thing here. Okay. Like the blue sheet,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: you know, like what is it? Oh, like Blue Bonnet
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: or whatever? No, like Blues Brothers. Blues Brothers. That makes sense, right? Yeah, yeah.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: That's cool. Okay, so go on back into the laugh.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: There's the Blues Brothers.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: But there's something about laughter, man. It was like magic.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: It was like, how do I do magic from over here?
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Like make you feel a certain way, but I don't
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: need to go over there. It's like, what do you do?
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: And laughter was that. If you could get somebody, you'd
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: say something, and they went from whatever their state was,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: and they laughed.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that's real.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: That's authentic.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: It's authentic. I can rely.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: They couldn't have faked that.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: You can tell if they do. Yeah, exactly. So you're
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: from the Bayou though, right? So it was something like that. Oh,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: this is good, dude. This is like a theme thing. Oh, wow. Oh, wow.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: So you don't have shades on there? Yeah, the shades,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: we can edit them in.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: They're clear.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, you edit them in? Oh, that's sick. So this is...
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Jackie Onassis. Take your old records off the shelves. Okay, so,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: So that was something that was fascinating to me. Dude,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I want to know this. Who came by the store, right?
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Who came by the store, Paulie, over the years? Like,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, what about when Jim Carrey came? Were you
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: guys just like, what? Like, who came and it was
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: just something so novel, right?
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Did you ever see a popcorn machine put popcorn out?
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: You know, where pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. That
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: was like the store back in the, you know, in
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Yeah. It felt like that.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: You know, my mom was the center. She was the
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: central colonel. Yeah. You know what I mean? So, yeah. So, boom.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: You got Jim Carrey.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Boom.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: You got Dice. Boom. You got fucking, you know, Arsenio.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Boom.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: You got Roseanne. Boom. You got. You know, Eddie Murphy, boom.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: You got Richard, boom. You got Robin, boom. It was
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: just like boom, boom. But everyone was doing drugs and
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: everyone was drinking. And it was just like normal. Yeah.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: You know, and Sam Kennison was the man. It was
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: part of society. It was very common. That's why when
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Tommy Lee was here, you know, he was here, I guess,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: earlier or whatever. He was part of that whole thing
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: because him and Sam Kennison were very close. They were? Yeah,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: very close. Fuck, wish I had known it. And then
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: also Vince Neil, who I talked to about a month ago,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: He lives in Nashville. Yeah. Do you know that?
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Because you live in Nashville too. I see him sometimes. Yeah.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: And he says he's got a huge, he's the only
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: one that's still not sober. Like everyone else is sober. Yeah.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: And Vince is like, no, fuck that. I'm like, cool.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I'm hanging out with you.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Vince is fucking wild, bro. Yeah, there you go.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's so cool. What about the story with Kennison
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: and LeBove? Did you know about all that?
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, very much so. Yeah, that's a wild story.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Take me through some of that story.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, so basically there was a comedian for you young
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: TikTokers out there that are obsessed with my friend Theo Vaughn.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Just so you know, Vaughn is a French articulation that
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: comes from the south of France in an island called Brindisi.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: So just look that up. That's where his last name is,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Theo Vaughn.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Vaughn.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and my family originally is from Mogadishu, actually.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mogadishu, which is in the Swiss Alps.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Swiss Alps. High as you can go up there. Yeah,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: so it's just up, up, up, up, up. That's where
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: his mom popped you out. Come on up. That's what
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: mom would say. Yep, come on up. It'd take a month.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: So just to do the quick version, there's a comedian
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: named Sam Kennison. He was on fire. His best friend
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: was named Carl LeBeau. Think about Amir Kay, you know?
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: And you guys are doing drugs and getting fucked up
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: and blah, blah, blah. And... Amir K is married, and
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Amir K has a wife, and you fuck his wife,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: and then you get her pregnant, and then you die,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: and then Amir K has your baby, and then Amir
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: K winds up having to pay for your baby.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: And he thinks it's his baby his whole life. No,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: because it looks like fucking you. But, They never got
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: a blood test, I don't think, until later, right?
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Until kind of later, yeah.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: So for 16 years, I think.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: 18 years. Carl was paying for the baby. Carl was
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: supporting the child and thinking it was his daughter. Yeah.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: But it was fucked up. And I still haven't met
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: the kid.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: And I really want to meet the kid. That'd be
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: pretty fascinating. We should get her on this fucking show.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: I wish we could Zoom right now with her. How
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: sick would that be? Sam Kenison's... She's like, what?
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, you know, being an adult has its high points.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I'll say that you can eat ice cream for dinner.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: You can sit in your car and have your dang
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: waffle in there if you want. Eat it with your hands. God,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: that's nice. But it's not all fun. You also have
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: to do your taxes and figure out what's for dinner.

  Speaker 1: in your life? That's a good question. It's a real question.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: It has in mind. It has at certain periods in

  Speaker 1: my life, man. Made me feel just so much shame.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: That's what it did. Well, watching pornography has become commonplace today.

• 32:53
  Speaker 2: He had a tough run. I got to put my
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: glasses back on. Thanks. Yeah, but Carl had a tough run,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: and he was genius. He was great. Carl was great.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: I would see him down in Texas, down at Randy
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Butler's clubs down there, and I would see him perform
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: down there sometimes and cross paths with him. Nice guy.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. People loved him. Yeah, he was special. There was
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: another guy named Mitchell Walters who also died. You know
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Carl died, right? Yeah. Yeah, and Mitchell Walters died too.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: He was fucking hilarious. Yes. He had the fucking funniest
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: 12 minutes of material. Really? Bring him up. This guy
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: was fucking hilarious. Wow. We did shows in Vegas. This
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: was in the late 80s. And we were at the
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Dunes Hotel, and it was Sam Kennison and the Outlaws
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: of Comedy. Mitchell, what was his name? Mitchell Walters. Yeah,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: this guy. Oh, wow. Beautiful, huh? He was fucking hilarious.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Trans or no?
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: No, he wasn't trans.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: Indian, huh?
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know what he was, but he was
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: fucking hilarious. See, there's a picture with him and Sam
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: and Billy Idol on the left. Up there, yeah, there
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: you go. Oh, wow. So before one of the shows
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: at the Dunes, this was the late 80s, this is
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: when Sam Kennison was getting sued by United Artists for
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: not showing up on his movie set, a took. So
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Mitchell Walters comes up to me before the show, and
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: I said, Mitchell, we're going to hang out after the show, right?
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: And he goes, yeah, absolutely. Me and you, we're going
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: to party, package, package, party. And then the show started,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: and then the show finished, and I went to go
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: hang out with him. And I'm like, yo, let's fucking
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: hang out. He's like, get the fuck away from me,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: golden boy. Go hang out with your fucking mother. I
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: don't have time for this shit. Because in between the show,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: he went out and did coke, and he fucking gambled,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: and he lost everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Damn. Yeah. That
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: one show lost it all. Yeah, he lost a lot.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: And how did he pass away? I think he had
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: some type of internal, like, you know, I don't want
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: to say it was cancer or something like that, but
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: he wasn't too healthy. Damn, bro. Yeah. But he was
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: a really funny cat as well, though, you know?
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: It's kind of a dangerous, it's a dice roll doing
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: comedy because you're really, you're at a, because comedy club
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: is just a bar attached to a stage.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: That's all it is.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: It's a bar, so it's like. You have access to everything.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you have access to everything, and you perform
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: at night, so you're at work at night. People have
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: just gotten out of a crowd. They're on a high.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: You're on a high.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, it's like you're just, there's so much
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: temptation that's right there, so much possibility to get in trouble.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: So how's it going for you now? How are you
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: feeling these days? I feel okay.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I think I feel like a lot of responsibility sometimes,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: you know, so that's, it's not as much fun sometimes,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: I guess, because you feel like you have more responsibility,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: but Um, but then sometimes I got to remember, Hey man,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: just take it easy. Just do your best, be yourself,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: try your best. Uh, and just try to be honest about,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: you know, whenever you can about what's going on, you know? Um,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: so some of that's been pretty interesting. I think just
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: that the boom we're having in comedy has been really,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: that's been a real blessing because I think the news
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: kind of shot itself in the dick over the past
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: five years or something kind of like, Nobody knows what's
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: news or what's real anymore. So everything's such a joke anyway,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: that I think people are like, well, at least I
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: know these are jokes.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And then what do you think about like doing
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: something on stage or doing something or this or whatever?
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: And then people comment on this as opposed to the
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: old days where you just do a TV show and
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: no one would comment. Right. Except for they would just
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: come up to you at like a, you know, a
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: diner and say, oh, I saw you on married with
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: children or some shit.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: But like, this is instant. Do you read the comments?
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll look at some of them. Sometimes the producers
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: will send me some to watch.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: It's good luck.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: It's like, do you want to open a box that
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: something can hurt your feelings?
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I think that's kind of some of the dangerous part. Now,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: if it's something super funny, a lot of times they'll
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: make sure that I see it. Sometimes if somebody makes funny,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: really good.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: What do you think about what happened to Jack Black
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: and his partner recently? His partner, you know? Well, no,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: because he said- He's a homosexual. The what? He's homosexual? No,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: What happened was I think they said something about Donald Trump.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't even see it. Oh, with Tristan D
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: or whatever the guy's name is? Snake D or whatever?
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: No, his partner said something.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. He said, I wish I wouldn't have missed him. Yeah,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: I think that's fucking kind of classless, I think.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that about a president.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: No, no. Did you? But isn't it wild that like
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: you can ad-lib something like that and then it's a
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: wrap for a while?
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: It's crazy, right? And yes, it was terrible. You know,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: that he said that, and you don't say that, and
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: you don't even joke about that.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: But, I mean, but also it's like that's how he feels.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I just think it's kind of a– and it just– like, yeah,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: it's just kind of– people don't want that.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: People are confused. So what do you think about Kamala
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: these days? This is pretty– Are you kidding? It's going
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: to be– no, but the whole thing– Kamala's not even–
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: I know, but the whole thing is going to be
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: like a great– it's going to be political theater.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: I think– oh, it is. I mean, it's going to
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: be like– It's all it is now.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: I think politics is just– Political theater. It's a shell
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: company for the big business. It's a fucking– it's like
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: a puppet. It's a puppet theater. It seems like to me. Well,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: I think– I don't know if Kamala doesn't have it
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: to win. I don't think that. I don't think anyone
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: is going to beat Trump– to be honest. I like,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: I think Bobby Kennedy, I feel like has a lot
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: of great points to talk about and stuff. I think
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: he's very fascinating. I think he, you know, you believe
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: that he wants to get in there and do something different.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Why is it so many people don't want to run
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: for president? Like The Rock, for instance, people have talked
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: about The Rock. Like he's gorgeous. He's big. He's handsome.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: He's a huge, huge star. Like, you know, like I
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: think Trump fans and then also the liberal community liberal
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: audience would fucking go, oh my God, that's fucking The Rock.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: That's our guy.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because obviously, would you ever run for anything like that?
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Think about it for a second. Not right now, but
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you're 44, you said? I'm 44. 44, so
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: look about when you're 54.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? After you kind of wanted
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: to chill, would you ever get into politics?
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe I would run for a VP or something if
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: they let you.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: So you'd be a vice president? Be cool.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Vice president, you just get to stand in the back
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: and be like this. Right?
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That'd be cool.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Vice president, you just get to fucking chill, bro.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Have you ever been to the White House?
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: You just get to fucking be like, what does the
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: vice president say? You just get to say some crazy shit, bro.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: And you know what I'm saying? You get to say, hey, China,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: we bout this shit, bro. And then it just goes viral,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: and then you're fucking having a blast, dude. And you
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: can party with chicks or whatever. Your wife can be
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: fucking cool. Your kids can be on the front lawn
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: fucking juggling or fucking smoking behind the statues or whatever.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: I think it would be, that part would be pretty fun.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: And there's no pressure. Everybody knows the vice president's a,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: who gives a fuck anyway, dude. It's like, don't let
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: anybody be the vice president.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But now she's, she, cause Joe Biden timbered. Yeah. Timbered.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? And that pissed me off.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Joe should have fucking hung in there.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Until he fell really hard. You know what
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: they should have done? Here's what they should have done
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: with him because he didn't want to bail. You know
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: what I mean? He didn't want to bail.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: No, they told him so long he was the president,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: he finally, when they said, no, no, you're not the president,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: he's like, I am the president.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: He believed it. No, what they should have done is
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: they should have told him that, Mr. President, there's mold
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: in the White House. We need to move you to
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: a hotel. Move him to a hotel for three, four days.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Then take all his pictures and all the different things
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: that are in the White House and put them in
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: another White House and then move him back into that
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: and say, this is your place. He won't know that
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: it's not his place. And then just say, you're the president,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: but he just like, Plug in other TVs and shit.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: He's like, don't I have anything to do today? Like, no,
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: you're good.
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: They're like, no, your dog just bit somebody. Now eat
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: some ice cream.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: But I felt bad because he was, you know. He
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: was being puppeted, it felt like. Yeah, but he was also,
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: I've been around, like, my mom, for instance. My mom
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: wasn't well, you know, towards, you know, the last good
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: 10 years. She was, you know. Have some dementia. Yes.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: She had that whole thing. So I was, that was
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: affecting me watching Joe, reminding me of my mom. and
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: your grandparents or people's watching grandparents, it's not fucking funny.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, my father
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: was 70 when I was born, so he was an
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: old man.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, shit.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: So I can totally relate to the sense of like,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: it felt like somebody was being taken advantage of a
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: little bit. And that really, I don't care what side
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: of things you're on, but that to me just felt,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: it must look cringe to people in the world if
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: that's how we're willing to do with our senior citizens.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: And then also like every time he walked off a plane,
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: wasn't cool, like it felt like he was gonna fall.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't cool. And it's like, you know, I
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: didn't wanna see that. You know what I mean? I
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: didn't wanna see, I'm glad that nothing bad happened. That's
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: a good point, huh?
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: All those little stages they put him on, the scariest
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: thing to put, the scariest thing for a senior citizen
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: next to more than one Ottoman in a room is
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: a little stage, dude, because there's nowhere really to go
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: except for down.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just stairs.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one stair, two stairs. Yeah. Yeah, so that shit
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: was bunk. Dude, what do you think? And it looks
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: like almost they tried to kill Trump.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Someone did. It didn't work.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: And so then Biden, they're like, well, if that doesn't work,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: then Biden has to step down because he has to
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: put somebody that can try to win. I don't know
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: if that's true, but it looks a little bit like that.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: What do you think happened? What do you think?
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: I think he was a sicko, that little kid. Oh,
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: you think it was just the kid acting alone? Yeah,
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: it was a sicko, yeah. I think so. I think
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: it was just a sicko. You know, it's like, A
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: lot of these school shooters are, you know what I mean?
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: They're not all up there. I mean, who's going to
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: take a gun and go shoot up a school? It's
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: just disgusting.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: So it's like, you know, for someone to do that,
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: it's just repulsive.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: You know, and I don't know. I mean, no comment.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: It's just sad. You know, the kids are fucked up. Oh,
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: it's heartbreaking.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: And then the kid is dead now, you know, and
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: you wonder, like, did somebody get to this kid and
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: inspire him to do that? The thing about having another shooter,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: because some people think there's another shooter. But you would
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: have had to have had, then somebody had to have
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: hired the kid. They have to know the kid's gonna
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't think that happened. I think he's
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: just a wacko that knew Trump was, you know what
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: I mean? Gonna be speaking.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: But then it's unbelievable that the Secret Service wasn't able to, like,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: if people are- Because they.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Were checking their Instagram. Yeah, probably. Absolutely. You know, they're
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: just self-involved with their own bullshit, and they weren't focused
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: on the whole thing. Either way, you know, I like,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: you know, at night, you know, I was fucking with
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: you the other night when we were texting each other.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: I said, I got to go. I'm going to sleep.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: I'm watching Fox News. You know what I mean? I just,
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: you know, I started watching Fox News with my mom.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: She loved it. Really? Yeah, she loved it. She would
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: just watch Bill. Look at Bill O'Reilly. And then she'd
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: see the Fox News anchors. What the fuck is her
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: horse teeth? She's got fucking horse teeth, Pauly. You know,
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: with all the Fox News anchor girls, she'd always get angry.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: What the fuck is she looking at? You know what
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: I mean? She looks like a horse face. She would
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: say that. It was fucking hilarious. So I would watch...
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: I would always watch... You know, the news with her. Oh,
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: that's nice. We'd watch CNN. We'd watch Fox.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Any other shows y'all would watch together? Game shows or anything?
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: Tommy would bring over comedians sometimes. Tommy, the old talent guy. Yeah,
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: he'd bring over comedians. What do you think of him?
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: You know, shit like that.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: I miss Tommy kind of. Yeah. What do you mean
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: kind of? I miss him.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He was fun. He was a great guy.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: He was there when I got there.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: He was such a character.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: You know how he kind of like.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: Well, he was funny because he said he stayed- You're
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: doing it, man. You're doing it. Yeah, him and his girl, Steph,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: they stayed at the Hyatt. And he says, well, it
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: seems like the comedy store's calling me. It's right down there.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: They want me. They want me to run the comedy store.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: Don't you understand? Well, that's how it is. That's how
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: your mother wanted it, Pauly. Listen to your mother. She's
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: the You know what I mean?
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. What do you think of his relationship
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: with your mom? What do you think it was like?
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: It was good.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: It was good. I mean, he used to do shit
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: with my mom that you're not supposed to do for
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: someone that you're working. He used to carry her up
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: the stairs. I mean, she would literally call him up.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: Help me up. I can't get up. You know? And
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: it was, you know, she would be working the cover booth.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: And then Steve Renazzisi would have to come in. And
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: that's when he stole the money. But that was another conversation.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: That was supposed to be funny. Anyways, all right.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: No, I think it's, yeah, it's like, well, yeah, because
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: I never knew exactly what happened.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: I just knew that. Yeah, so what happened was is
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: my mom didn't trust a lot of people.
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: You know, and my mom loved Tommy, you know, because,
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: you know, she just, you know, she took to certain people.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: You know, my mom took to certain people, and she
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: really liked him, and she trusted him. So when she
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: couldn't get up the stairs, you know, because she would
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: try to get up the stairs. you know, she would
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: call the store and she'd say, can you help me
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: up the stairs? And then he would be like, Mitzi,
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: I can't. You know what I mean? I'm, I'm, you know,
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: I'm here in the cover booth. There's people, I need
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: help up the fucking stairs. Let's go. And then, and
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: then that's when, you know, Tommy would get rid of
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: ZZ or someone or someone to sit in Benji or whoever,
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: and they'd sit in and then he, she would go
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: and I would be there and I would like, you know, help. Yeah.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Help bring her up the stairs. And then, you know,
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: he would sit with her for a long time and
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: watch the TV and sometimes not even go back to work.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: So he did stuff that you weren't supposed to do
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: as an employee, but that's what my mom was. That's
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: what the store was. The store was always about, you know,
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: helping people. And if you stole, you stole that's on you,
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: you know? Yeah. You know, so.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: And was that ever proven that he did it?
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: I don't, I don't know. I wasn't involved. Yeah. I wasn't.
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: I just heard things and you're like, well, what even happened?
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: And you never got to really hear his side of it.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like either, you know, but, um, But yeah,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: you know. So recently Richard Simmons passed away.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Were you guys ever, and I know you were trying
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: to do, you did a great video kind of auditioning
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: to play him.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: And did you guys ever come to a real conclusion?
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Did you ever get to actually talk with him about it?
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: I never. I reached out to him. I've known him
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: since I was little. I sent him flowers on Valentine's Day.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: This is a short film. Oh, this short film is
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: called Court Jester.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: And I.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Love him, and I love his story, and I want
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: to do his biopic. So we did this short film,
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: and it did really well for me. You know, we
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: were at Park City with it and, you know, and
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: people just loved it.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Play something right there. Oh, by halfway into this, I
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: believe that it's him.
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: It really seems like him, Paul.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: That's great. Yeah.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: So, um, and he was from Louisiana actually.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, he was. Him and his brother Lenny. Yeah.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: And so now since he's passed, is there a, would
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: you still try to do it? Like, I don't know
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: if that's against the grain or whatever, or is that just,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: can his estate hire you to do it?
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: Well, here's, here's the deal in, in reality. First of all,
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: I'm just an actor.
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not a lawyer, you know, but from what I,
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: from what I've learned from being in this process that
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: if you're a public figure, it's called an unauthorized biopic. So,
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: for instance, they happen every day. So, I mean, the
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Pam and Tommy Hulu special or Hulu series was unauthorized. Oh, wow.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: So people can just make it. They do stuff all
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: the time that way. So as long as you don't
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: do something mean, you know, as long as I do
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: it nice, like this piece is nice. Right, you're not
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: defending it. him. Yeah, you're not defaming him, then I'll
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: be fine. So I'm in bed with a producer named
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: Mark Walper, W-O-L-P-E-R, not Wahlberg. And he's been in the
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: game for about 50 years, him and his family. They
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: have a deal at Warner Brothers and I have a
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: great writer named Jordan Allen Dutton who's writing the script.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: So I'm moving forward with it. But my instinct is
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: like your instinct is get his estate to kind of
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: be involved, give them some money, but we'll see. I'm
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: kind of at the place where I just want to
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: make the movie and I just want to kind of
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: do good by him and not defame him. And that's
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: kind of my come from from the beginning. And it
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: was never about making fun of anything else. Richard saved lives.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: He saved lives and he helped people. And that's kind
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: of where my come from is. And at the end
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: of the day, yeah, I'm a comic, but I'm a
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: fucking actor. You know what I mean? I've starred in
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of movies, and that's my main thing, and
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: that's why I still sell tickets. I don't sell tickets
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: because of my Netflix special, or I sell tickets because
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: of this, because I've touched people with my films. And
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: so this lines up. It's kind of like God gave
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: me a softball. I mean, this is a really great
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: opportunity for me, and I'm going to do it, and
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: it's going to happen, and we're getting the financing together
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: Right now, that's kind of where we are in the process.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: But I got a great producer that I've been in
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: bed with on this for about six months. And we've
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: got a great writer. We've got a great story. We've
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: got a great pitch. And he's writing the script right now. Wow.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so it's happening.
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: And I think, you know, say if you had passed
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: away and you knew before you passed away, you were like,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I want this guy to make
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: this thing about me or to be in it. And
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: who knows if maybe also Richard Simmons was feeling embarrassed
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: about himself. You know, sometimes it's like, I just want
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: to go away. If he knew he was sick, there's
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: just so many little But then if you did pass
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: away and then somebody made something that was really honoring
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: you and you got to see it, I wonder how
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: you would feel. I feel like I would probably feel like, man,
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: that's pretty cool.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's how I feel. You know, I feel
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: that he would see it just like he probably saw this.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: And he touched people's lives, like you said. Yeah, absolutely.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, you know, publicly
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: he came out and he says, I'm, I don't. Yeah,
• 51:32

  Speaker 2: the airport Or one of his handlers. You don't fucking know.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: It was probably a twink that he met at the airport.

  Speaker 2: you know, he passes. Right. So obviously he did.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: You got to read your own room of your life.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Like if you're passing away.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: You're not writing that type of stuff.
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: No.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: You're fucking worried about trying to live.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, you're fucking counting T-cells, homie. You're not over
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: here fucking milling around your typewriter.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: So that's another thing I want to get to the bottom.

  Speaker 2: I want to get to the bottom line because, you know,
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: I love Richard and I know Richard loves me and
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: I know Richard loves my mom and I know that
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: I don't have a fucking bad bone in my body.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: And my come from is all about love and, you know,
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: and putting it out in a positive, positive way. And
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know and I don't believe that he's the
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: one that wrote all this stuff. and if anything I
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: got him out meaning like I got him to just
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: speak because he'd been so recluse for so.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Long yeah people hadn't heard from him in a long
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: time bring up some of the videos where he helped
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: women lose some weight I mean he was the first
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: kind of influencer he was like a professional wrestler that
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: never wrestled but danced the fat off of the Midwest
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: and other parts of America.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: And he made it fun. Yes. The Ellen stuff is great, yeah.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there he is. Look at the party off the
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: pounds right there. I remember my grandmother had party off
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: the pounds, dude, and I would sit and watch her
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: move to this.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: Hilarious.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: Before she hated me, but still.
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: Look at him.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: Hey, come dance with me.
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: Come dance with me. Come on. And you, come dance too.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Exhale. That's it. Oh, it's like Teletubbies kind of.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Because he was chubby too. Yeah. And you know what
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: would happen is he would get involved with a relationship
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: with like an oversized woman. And then after the woman
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: lost all the weight, then Richard would just like give
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: them the Irish goodbye. Really? And just like spatch and
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: just like peace out. Like he only wanted them for
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: their weight? Yeah, just kind of wanted them while they
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: were chubby. And you're not talking about a sexual relationship. No, no, no, no.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: Not at all. Just like, you know, helping someone. You know,
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: it's kind of like if you were chubby and I
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: helped you and probably sure I helped you and then
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden I got you skinny and you're
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: calling me and I'm like, you know, I'm done with you. Like,
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: on to the next. Like Superman. On to the next.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: I needed somewhere else.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And he did do an Irish goodbye. Now,
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: he loved men, though. I don't know if he did.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: That's a good point. Was he ever married? Let's look
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: that up. No, he never really was either or. That's
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: a great question.
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: And maybe he was just like a piece of moon
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: rock or something. Born Milton Teagle Simmons down there in
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: New Orleans, Louisiana on July the 12th, and he died
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: July the 13th.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: Did you ever see him when you were in Louisiana?
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: I never did.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: No?
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: I met, I think, one of his great-granddaughters one time somewhere,
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: and she was trying to.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: Come to one of your shows?
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: Trying to give me a BJ, honestly, dude.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: But this was, that's, who knows what was going on.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: But he went to ULL down there, and then he
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: went to Florida State University.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: But no children, it says, I don't think, huh? No,
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: he had a whole bunch of dogs. That was like
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: his big thing. But I remember as a kid growing up, like,
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: when Richard Simmons was coming on Letterman or Howard Stern
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: or Ellen, like, you would wait. Yeah. You know, like
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: when Letterman was like, yo, I'm next is Richard Simmons.
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: You're like, oh, fuck. And he would come out and
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: he would just kill. He would kill harder than a comedian,
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: like on the sofa.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: He brought an energy with him. He was a real
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: piece of energy that man. Now, if it's homosexuality, would
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: you ever would you you might if you would you
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: be willing to do those type of scenes in it
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: if you had to to honor him?
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: If you are the other guy. Oh, sorry. Oh, you're
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: talking to me? All right, dude. Looks like I just
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: got a part, huh? The weasel? And the rat, bro.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: This is good. That's cross-pollination, dude. So you're acting, though, too.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: You're in some movies and stuff, right? No. What do
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: you like about acting?
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: You're trying to not talk about yourself, but that's okay.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: That's sweet of you to change the subject, Paul. You
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: do a good job making it about other people. David
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Spade and I wrote a movie, and we're trying to
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: get financing for it.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: Huh. Cool. Have you acted a lot? Yes, some. A
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: little bit? I like it. I love acting. Acting's fucking hard,
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: which I love.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, dude, in the 90s and early 2000s,
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: you were, some people say, the biggest star in the world.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: Did you feel like that? In my 20s, yeah, I
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: felt like that. Because I was doing a lot. I
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: was doing a lot. That's why I said to you
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: at the comedy store, it was like six months ago,
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: I said, you're like me. Back when I was, you know,
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: but you're in your 40s. I was in my 20s.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: I can't even imagine. Yeah, it was crazy. I did albums.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: I did, you know, movies, HBO specials.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: What helped you get your break? Do you feel like
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: your mom helped you? Do you feel like it was only,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: is that a weird question? I don't mean to be rude.
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: No, no, that's not rude at all. I don't know.
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: No.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: No, MTV. Oh, I know that. But my mom didn't
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: get me on MTV. I got me on MTV. Yeah. Oh, 100%.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, they saw me and they're like, fuck, this
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: kid's funny. And I got on MTV and it just,
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: it took off. And then from there, Jeffrey Katzenberg found me,
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: and he was running Disney at the time. And he
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: fucking just wrote all these movies for me. And they
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: all did well for me.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: Do you remember, like, would they come and see you
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: at the store? Did you have to go to meetings?
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: What was that like?
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: Both. Both. I had my manager, Michael Rotenberg, from Three Arts.
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: That was your manager? Yeah, for eight years. Yeah, he
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: was my manager the whole time. Michael's a cool dude.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: Really fucking cool. That's my homie. What's up, Michael? What's up, Michael?
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: What's up, Michael Rotenberg? I call him Crisco. You do? Crisco,
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: because he's so greasy, bro. He's so greasy.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Rotenberg is cool, man. I like his, we have a
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: similar sense of humor.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so he ran my shit, him and Adam Bennett
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: from CAA.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, CAA ran my stuff for those. It was like
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: Willy Wonka.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry I asked you if your mom helped you
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: get it.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: No, I don't care. I know, this wasn't cool, though. Okay, well,
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: you can cut that part out.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: You can leave it in. I just feel a little bad.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I said that. Well, I guess
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: it's a hard business, and people take whatever. Whoever can
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: help you, sometimes it's good. Not that you didn't stand.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: Here's what I mean. It's not that you didn't stand
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: on your own talent. That's what I mean.
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: I think what we need to do is take a silence.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: You know how, like, if someone dies?
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: You do a silence, and then, you know. Yeah, and
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: let's put these hats on, too.
• 58:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hats and the glasses. Yeah. Just for asking me
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: if my mom got me in the show business.
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: Let's just take a time for a, you know what
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: I mean?
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do five seconds, huh? But you've got to breathe.
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: Think of ayahuasca. I know we do that sometimes up
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: in the hills. Here we go. Theo and myself are
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: taking a little moment to get that energy out of
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: the room. that he put in there, thinking that my mom,
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: Mitzi Shore, the owner of the biggest comedy club in
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: the world, got me my break in the entertainment business. Wait,
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: there's still some bad energy. Just anything, Theo, you want
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: to add? BLM, homie. Okay, we got it out. That
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: was good.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: No, but it was just, it was, they saw me
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: do stand-up. They saw I do, you know, I would MTV.
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: All right, but was.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: There a call that you got when you were like, okay,
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: this is getting fucking crazy?
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: Well, after Encino Man came out, and it was a
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: big hit for me, and then we rolled into Son-in-Law,
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: and it was just like boom, boom, and they brought
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: me around the world. You know what I used to
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: do when I used to.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: When we used to do shows, I used to never
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: have people sitting. It was always festival seating. So I
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: always had a band open for me, like the Spin Doctors.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: They would open for me. And then I would come
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: out and do 45 minutes, people standing. And in between
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: my jokes, I would stage dive. Yeah. Oh, and then
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: just come back to the stage. Exactly. Yeah. I would
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: stage dive, and then I would come back and then
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: do more jokes. That's kind of how it was. But
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: it was called festival seating. You remember as a kid,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: you'd go to those concerts where there's no seats? Yeah,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: I love how they call it festival seating. There's no seats.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: There's no seats. And then I'd bring the band back out,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: and then I would sing songs. And I had this
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: one song that was a hit song on MTV called
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: Lisa Lisa, The One I Adore. Do you remember it?
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: I don't. I'm a stony crusty dude with a mop
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: on top. My mail-in's fully tweaked, but I'll never stop.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: Stop trying to wheeze the nugs from coast to coast.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: The ones with the cones are the ones I dig
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: the most. Sing Lisa Lisa.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: Lisa Lisa.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: Stony Body Major.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: Stony Body Major.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how we do it.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: You gotta remember it, man.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: Dude, you know where we used to go? That was
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: fucking insane. Yeah, tell me that. Holy fuck, dude. Let's
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: put our hats on real quick, too. Yeah, our hat
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: goes back on. Fuck, dude. It was... It was, Don
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: Barris was the host. Fuck, what was it called? I
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: wonder what it was called.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: The Middler, Evening at the.

  Speaker 2: No, it was.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: The Syrup, Sinking of the Cerebellum.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: No, it was. Ding Dong Show? No, not the Ding
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: Dong Show. This is way before. This was, fuck, I
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: forgot the name.

  Speaker 1: It wasn't like Retard Wednesdays or something.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: No, it was Mud Wrestling. It was Mud Wrestling. It
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: was the Tropicana. Oh, in Vegas. No, the Tropicana here
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: in Hollywood. It was a. Right off of Hollywood Boulevard.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know that. But he used to host
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: this thing, and the girls would come out, and it
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: would be mud wrestling.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: And Don hosted it. It was fucking hilarious, dude.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: He had, Don is, yeah, I wouldn't fuck Don, that's
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: No, but it was a big deal. I mean, I
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: blessed him. I wouldn't fuck him because he's a man.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: That's why. But mud wrestling was a big deal back
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: in the 90s. That's what I mean, yeah. That's how
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: it was, yeah.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: Do you think Trump will be the next president?
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say anything. I mean, I don't
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: want to say anything about it. I like watching it
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: and just kind of being a fan of the political theater.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: I like just watching it and not know. I mean,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: no one knows what the fuck's going to happen, but
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: I know there's going to be some, it's going to
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: be a real fight. It's kind of like UFC fight,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: but for, you know, because, It's basically they're fighting for
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: the most powerful job in the world. So they're going
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: to go after each other pretty fucking hard.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, and they're completely different. I mean, she's like
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: a prosecutor for like sex trafficking or something, isn't she? Yeah.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Isn't she like San Francisco? I don't know.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: I thought she was an undercover cop or something. What
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: was her original job?
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: She was a district attorney previously. District attorney. But wasn't
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: she a prosecutor? Yes, so she would prosecute on behalf of,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: I think, the Bay Area. Oh, like CSI? I don't know.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, but either way, she's not a
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: fan of Trump. Right, so it's going to be a
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: good battle. And he's not a fan of hers, so
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: it's going to be fun to watch.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: Did you ever get to party with Trump back in
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: the day anymore?
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: I did see him a lot back in the day, yeah.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: And what kind of guy did he seem like? If
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: he saw me, he would fucking laugh. Yeah. He'd be like,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: fuck Pauly Shore. He'd be like, you're still alive? What
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: the fuck? How the fuck are you still around? He
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: was cool. The first time I used to see him
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: was in Daytona Beach, and this was back in the 90s,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: and this was when we did Spring Break for MTV
• 1:03:58

  Speaker 2: hanging out.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they would look like, yeah. It was like,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: almost like somebody had made them out of, like, dish
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: gloves or something.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: Like, they were like. Right.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: Like, if you pulled a shirt on them on them,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: you could.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: Hear them like.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: It was like, damn, bitches are plastic, bro. Yeah, and
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: this one girl, I was dating this one girl, her

  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he wound up on her back. Oh, wow. But

  Speaker 2: doggy style, they're right there, bro, easy access. Chinese. Chinese
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: is cool. Chinese is cool. Yeah, so that's right.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: Some of that is the moon, too, wherever the moon is.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: That's what's neat about some of those, when wherever the
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: moon is, that's where their tits will go.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And that's beautiful.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: A lot of you guys know we started off with
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: our first advertiser ever was Gray Block Pizza.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: Get that hitter, baby.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: And the owner of Gray Block Pizza, my friend Thomas,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: evolved his business up in Oregon to start Blue Cube Baths.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: And he sent me one, and it's absolutely beautiful. A

• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: it might just, you might be able to ice skate
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: in there. I haven't put it that low, but you
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: can set it to a place where you feel comfortable.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: I'll get in around 50 degrees for about 10 or
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: 12 minutes. And that's what really sets me and activates me.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: I've done it before, podcasts to really put me And

  Speaker 2: But yeah, I would see him at the Daytona Beach,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: like the Hawaiian Tropic parties and stuff.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: This is my number one thing about Donald Trump, right?
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: I've met him a few times, but not had a
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: chance to really engage with him, right? So you get
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: an idea of him, but you're always like, well, what
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: does he like? Like you, if I never got to
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: talk to you, I would have some general thoughts, but
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't really know, well, what is he like? Like,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: do you know what he's like? Like, is he like
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: a business guy? Is he just like a fun guy
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: that plays tennis? Like, I think, I wish I knew
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: more about how he is. Does that make any sense?
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I never had those type of conversations where
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh yeah, I remember one time we talked
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: about this. It was always like, kind of like when
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: I'd see Hugh Hefner. I would never really engage in
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: a conversation with him. I'd always kind of wave, shake
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: his hand, you know what I mean? So with Trump,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: it was like the same thing.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: Do you miss those parties over there?
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: Was that fun? It was fun because it was before
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: the whole social media thing. But it's kind of like
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: even driving down Sunset Boulevard now, it's fucking depressing. You know,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: the store is the only thing that's fucking popping. You
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: know what I mean?
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of shit is just fucking insane.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you drive down Sunset on a Saturday night,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: there's nothing. It's just tumbleweed. It is quiet, huh? People
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: don't go out anymore because people are scared. They don't
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: want to be around the photos and the videos. You
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? So the parties are in the house.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: People stay in. And also COVID as well. People shifted
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: and stayed in that. Unlike if you go to Texas
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: or Florida where people don't give a fuck.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, the second I got to Tennessee, yeah, people were
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: spitting in each other's mouths and shit.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: That kind of shit America's about, you know?
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: Recycling. But here in LA, it's just like... It has
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: gotten quieter, huh? Yeah. The word is joy. There's not
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of joy in Hollywood anymore. There's no fun.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: Although Silver Lake, Echo Park, Los Feliz, Hipster. Those are
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: fucking fun, dude. Like that whole area, East Hollywood is fucking,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: it's fun. Yeah.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It is interesting that Hollywood, it's kind of quieter now. Yeah.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: And even when I went to, um, I went to-
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: Where is everybody? They're not going out or they moved.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: They moved.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: And even just in your life, have you seen it just,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: change so much?
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: I think after COVID, you know, after COVID and all that,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: that whole, it just shifted into, you know, a different time.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: Because when Rogan and them were at the store, that
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: was crazy too. Remember that? I mean, you go on
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: a Tuesday night, bro, and it was insane.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Just how bad Hollywood is? What is this?
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: This is a guy saying how bad it is in Hollywood.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: It's not fun. It's not joyful.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: He's talking about just the industry and what they're making
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: So I wonder if that's having an effect.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 5: It's pretty bad here in Hollywood, and now we have
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 5: some numbers to back it up. Film LA has just
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 5: released their report on on-location and stage-based production data. Let's
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 5: take a look at what this means. Production in L.A.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 5: is down, way, way, way down. From just last year,
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 5: feature films are down 3%, 3.3%, versus a five-year average,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 5: as we know things were bad already, it is 23.8% down.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 5: Commercials are even worse, over a five-year average, 36.1% down.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 5: Television is down 45.8%, and whatever other is, is down 20%.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 5: So like industrial films, short films, just everything. Reality TV
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 5: looks insane. The purple line here is reality. There's COVID.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 5: There's the strike. There's where reality TV is in LA
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 5: right now. So as you can see, just across the board,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 5: everything is down. All in all, versus a five-year average,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 5: production shoot days in Los Angeles, California, the home of
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 5: the film industry, are down 33.4%.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 5: So I got a little curious when I went to
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 5: the Bureau of Labor Statistics to get the numbers on
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 5: unemployment rates in the motion picture and television industry. Now,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 5: they do lump the sound recording industries in with this.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 5: but as you can see, it's not good. That is
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 5: a 16.1% unemployment rate in the motion picture and television industry.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 5: And that is from June, so that is not counting
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 5: the massive layoffs that just occurred again at Warner Bros. Discovery,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 5: and it's definitely not counting all the.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: Ones that are about to come.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: They're just interesting, and I'm not saying all this is exact,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: but I saw this the other day, and I was like, wow, yeah,
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: I wonder if there's just not as many people here
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: Well, it's also the business has shifted.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: You know, the business has shifted to this. I mean,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: look how many millions of people watch you doing this.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? So it's not, you know, everything.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: And look at the OnlyFans girls. I mean, you probably
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: know a lot of women that, you know, back in
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: the day, if you were a pretty girl and you
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: had to come to LA, you're Maxim, Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler, FHM.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: And that was it. You had to get in one
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: of those. Now, no one needs those. And now you
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: got all these influencers doing and making money. So everything
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: has shifted, you know? So I think since 2015, 16,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: 17- You know, the business has shifted. And then guys
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: like Mark Wahlberg moved to Vegas. So they're trying to
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: do a whole studio out there. Make their own things. Yeah,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: doing their own things. So people are saying like, hey,
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: you don't need to live in L.A. And especially because
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: everyone's in the Zoom world now. You know, no one
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: goes to fucking meetings anymore. I feel bad for people
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: that own office buildings. I mean, think about it. I mean,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: how big of a nut is that CAA building? You've
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: been in there. Yeah. It's fucking massive.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: It's huge in there.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: You know how much that is for rent? And the
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: agent's probably like, I don't feel like going in. I'm
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: going to get sick or I'm going to stay home.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: And they just let them. Look at that.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: And then a lot of new agencies kind of started
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: up when social media started because or when TikTok and
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: people popped up on Instagram, they joined like Groups like Shots,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: have you heard of them? Who owns Shots or who
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: started Shots? S-H-O-T-S. But it's the Wild West. But that
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: became like the agency. It was like a new, you
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? Because CA and they weren't even
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: on board, you know, different agencies weren't even seeing this
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: sort of thing, you know?
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so, I mean, you know.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: Shots Podcast Network. Shots Podcast Network is a company, oh,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: founded by John Shahidi.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know that.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: And Sam Shahidi.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: I know these guys.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: The company was originally founded as a software development company.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: In 2009.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: In November 2019, Spotify announced a suite of podcasts and
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: included a partnership with Shots Podcast Network. But yes, groups
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: like Shots became the representatives for a lot of talent.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: And so they weren't even working with the original agencies anymore,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: the big agencies anymore.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's... It's changed. It's completely changed.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the other day someone was like, do you want
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: to be in a movie? And I was like, is
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: it going to be 40 seconds long? And is it
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: going to be on TikTok?
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: That's hilarious.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: Kids can't even watch a movie without taking a pill now,
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: some kids. They're like, mom, give me two pills.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: I'm going to watch a movie.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: Give me half a gallon of it.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: No, I can't. That's the same with me. I got
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: to have a pill when I watch my movies too. No,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: but it's true. Like, you know, you watch... You're watching
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: the news, and then you're watching your Netflix, then you're
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: on your Instagram, and you're looking at your thing. It's
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: fucked up, but it is the way it is. It's
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: like he's got us. Steve Jobs got us.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: He won, huh?
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he got us. I mean, we're basically, we're this.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: It's just the way it is. You know what I mean?
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: And the wildest part, Paulie, I think one thing is
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: that some people for years have been like, you think
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: we'll live forever. You think there'll be a time where
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: we'll live forever. And now I do, but it's not
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: in the way we think. It's going to be in
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: a digitized way. It's like eventually, from this episode alone,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: they'll be able to make a you and a me
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: that can exist in some virtual world where you could talk.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: To us any time. This is good. We could be
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: in Japan tomorrow. Oh, yeah. This is good. Sona. Hey, huh? Sayonara. Sayonara.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: Los tits, eh? Los tits. You know, it's about the numbers.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: It's about the eyeballs. You know, you, Joe, Tony- Shane Gillis,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: you know, all these guys, like, you fucking tapped into it.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Yeah. I mean, you don't
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: need all that shit because at the end of the day,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: everyone's coming after you now. I mean, they see the
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: tickets you're selling. They see the numbers that this is.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? It's fucking crazy. Like, if
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: you wanted to star in your own Theo Vaughn series, like,

• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: If Ernest goes to Africa, Ernest goes to the AIDS clinic, too, probably.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing, and no offense to Africa, those are rumors,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: and a lot of that's on Reddit.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: So what do you think? I mean, this is, we
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: can just, can you guys, can you guys Photoshop Theo's
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: head on top of his head?
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing. Probably, they're just going to be
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: able to, as long as they license you or whatever,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: they can put you in a movie, dude.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: But yeah, but we got to do it for you.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: You're hot right now. This could be good. I don't know.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: Scroll up to the top. Yeah, you don't want to
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: fucking do a David Spade movie. Do a fucking Theo
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: Scared and Stupid. Theo Scared and Stupid is perfect. I mean,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: you could just do your face. Put his face back
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: up there. Put his dumb face. Dude, can you do
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: blackface in the future? Let's be honest. No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: We don't want to do that. Here, put his face
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: back up. Not now, dude. Look at this. Wait, here
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: we go.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: At least we should be able to do Native American face, right?
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, see this guy. Do this face right here. Do it. Yeah,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying. Hold on.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a fucking hit, dude. I don't know.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think it looked anything alike. You got to
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: do a series of movies. This is great. It's perfect timing.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man. Go straight to YouTube.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: I like just being here each week. Mm-hmm.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: But maybe, I don't know. I mean, the thing about space,
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: I notice it's like, this is what I heard about movies.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: It's fun if you're with your friends, dude.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: And if you have to be somewhere, stuck somewhere for
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: a while and it's not your friend or you want
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: to sit there every night and have dinner, then it
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: just seems like it's not as fun, you know?
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's why I could never be in that movie
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: because Dave's in it.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: We're not friends. Y'all aren't? No, fuck that guy. No,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. No, he's my friend. I met him.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: You know I met him. I did a movie with
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: George Burns. No way. From The Gods Must Be Crazy? No,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: it was called 18 Again. George Burns. You remember George Burns?
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, from The Gods Must Be Crazy.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: Wasn't he in that? The old guy. Here, put up
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: George Burns, 18 again, right there. So this is George Burns.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: This was my first movie ever. George Burns was a
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: comedian back in the day. Oh, yeah, I know he
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: was George Burns. He lived to about 98 years old. Yeah,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: that guy. So I did this movie. See this guy
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: on the left? His name's Charlie Schlatter. So I played
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: Charlie Schlatter's best friend in 18 again. Yeah, so that's
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: why I met George Burns, and that's when I met
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: David Spade, because David Spade was best friends with Charlie Schlatter.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: So I've known David Spade since I was 19. Wow.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: How has he always had so much luck with the ladies?
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: Be honest, man. I don't know. He's sexy. Oh, he's sexy.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: a close friend of mine.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: I think he's handsome. He's one of the funniest guys. Yes.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: But how did he get so, I mean, there's a
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: lot of guys that are like that.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: Not like him. He's special. But, The guy's, you know. Yeah,
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: he's good.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: He's like the David Copperfield of straight.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: Dudes, man. Yeah, he's a gorgeous man.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: He's a gorgeous man. Well, is that true? I don't know.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: Look it, there you go.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 4: See?
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: We got to put Theo goes to school, though.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, these guys are fired.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I'm saying? They have one job.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: They left Ernest on the thing. I'm checking, I'm checking, man. Oh,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: but Theo goes to BLM rally too, dude. I'll fucking
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: roll up at that bitch, dude.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: Huh? I say we do a series of fucking Ernest
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: movies and just change it to Theo and just do
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: the same fucking script. No one's going to know. The
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: kids aren't going to remember this fucking guy.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: Dude, most people can't even see that far.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: How far can people see usually? What do you mean?
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, how far can somebody see?
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: What does that mean?
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: The average sight distance for a person with normal vision
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: is about three miles. Get fucked, dude. When standing on
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: a flat surface with their eyes about five feet above
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: the ground. That is bullshit. I thought it was like
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: 70 feet or something.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: Why are you asking this question?
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly, I guess. We were just talking
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: about David Spade, Average Reed.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: Oh. Whatever, man.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: We'll move it along.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: When Bobby Lee came, what was it like when you
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: saw him first? Because a lot of people are like,
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: what is it?
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: He was just adorable. You remember him? Yeah, I discovered him.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: You know I discovered him. I didn't know that. You
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: didn't know that.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: I didn't.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. No, I found him.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: Where'd you see him at?
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: Panda Express. He was getting some orange chicken. No, I
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: saw him naked at a Korean spa.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: No, for real. I saw him.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: He's from San Diego. Yeah. He's from Petaluma. Yeah, a
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: restaurant called Brockton Villa. And he was like a server there.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: And you just saw him. I think I was there
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: with my mom or my brothers or something. And I said, yo,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: you're fucking hilarious. Come to the comedy store. So I
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: got him a gig at the comedy store. He was
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: taking tickets. In La Jolla?
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in La Jolla, the comedy store there. And you
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: just thought he was funny from the interactions?
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just because he was adorable. And then- He started
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: taking tickets at the La Jolla room. And then he
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: started going up on open mic night. And then I
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: would see him down there. And every time I'd come
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: down there and play, I'd kind of put him up
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: in front of me. And then eventually I took him
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: on the road. And then he became a paid regular
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas when my mom
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: was there to see me. And he opened for me
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: at the Riviera Hotel in the late 90s. And that's
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: when my mom made him a paid regular. She says,
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: you're funny. You can work the store. Right then. Yeah.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I discovered. Dude, that's awesome. You did all
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: that for him. Yeah. And then he opened for me
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: for eight years.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: He toured with me for eight years, opened for me
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: on the bus and the whole thing, kind of like Ari.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: You know, Amir, they opened for you. He just opened
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: for me. We did merch. I got videos of him
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: fucking chicks. Yeah. Yeah, it's fucking great. I'm going to
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: release them the next time he's got something coming out,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: you know? Oh, yeah.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, this was Guest House. Wow.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: So you guys went through all that together. What was
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: he like then? And what ethnicity was he? Because people
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: were like.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: What is he? He's not Korean?
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: Bring up Korea. You think he's from Thailand or something?
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: He looks more like Osaka to me or whatever.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: But I don't know. Yeah. So, you know, so I,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: I've written some scripts with him. I got a great
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: script called captured where I capture him and put him
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: in a cage in my backyard. Oh yeah. And, um,
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: we did this. He's done a lot of stuff with me.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: He's in guest house and.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: Like they're feeding him pine nuts. He's an interesting guy,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: you know?
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He's one of a kind.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: Would he sleep all day back then? Or was he
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: a more of a morning person? Cause he's devolved into
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: a nighttime. He's, he's awake like five hours a day.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: You know, it's definitely very specific.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: Style of living. Yeah, he, I don't know, he would
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: hide from me a lot. He'd always hide from me.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: One time he cried on the road with me. He
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: cried because I wanted to, it was, we were in Detroit.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: That'll do it. Sorry, dude. No, no, we were in
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: Detroit and, you know, the road manager gives everyone their
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: hotel keys, you know, so Bobby goes to his key
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: and I just fall into his room. And he was like,
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: what are you doing? I'm like, I'm staying with you tonight.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm going to stay with you in the room.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: And he wasn't into that. And I'm like, no, dude,
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: because I don't have anyone. I'm lonely. I don't want
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: to go back to my room by myself.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: And I, you know, and then he started crying. And
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: then when he cried, I just left. But, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: He's definitely.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: And the crazy thing about him crying, it's like one
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: tear gets in his eye and it's.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's full. He's doing great now, too. It's full.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: But again, I told him, I said, dude, it's going
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: to happen for you. He was always neurotic.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, yeah. Before his podcast, he was just trying
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: to figure... He barely was selling out comedy clubs. Wow.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? I've always.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: He's one guy who could never change a word from
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: his set, and I would watch every single time. There's just... Actually,
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: when he walks up, the setup is already there.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: And not in a negative way. The setup is already there.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I love Bobby. Bobby is very close with him.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: I do see him at the Korean spa sometimes. He
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: gets really fucking freaked out when I go again.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: He showed his butthole to some kids somewhere. I don't
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: know where that was at.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a video of that. It
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: was definitely a drawing of it.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's a good dude, you know? He's doing good. Yeah,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: he's doing good. You know who else is doing good?
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: Jesus Trejo. He's doing good, too.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: He's always been so funny.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so he opened for me for eight years, too. Dang.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: Eight years, yeah. A lot of these guys. Eight years
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: in opener. Ari Shaffir opened for me. Rick Ingram opened
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: for me. All these guys. Yeah, it's cool. I love
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: bringing those guys out on the road.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one cool thing about the store is just like....
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: It's just.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know, once you get in there and you
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: make your way through and you've been there for a
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: while and you know who's who and you kind of,
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: you develop your own little relationship with the space and
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: the people you love to see and people come and
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: go and the people that work there and it's like,
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: it is just such a universe. We're lucky to be
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: able to have a workplace that has a lot of
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: joy and different people at it.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: And it's fun.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: Imagine you get to go to work and it's actually,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: you can say what you want, you're encouraged. There's no
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: real HR. In fact, HR is like, HR is encouraging
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: you to fucking save crazy shit. I never thought about that, man.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: That's such a crazy blessing, dude. Do you think your
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: mother felt very achieved with her, with the comedy club?
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, she's, you know, and that's, you know,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: the way, the way that it's still, the way that
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: it's left right now is exactly how she left it,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: which is awesome. You know, she just put her stamp
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: on it. She's leave it alone. Don't fuck with it. And,
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: you know, just like, you know, the rooms are set
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: up the way they are and different than the laugh factor,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: different than the improv, different vibes. Those are great clubs. But,
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: you know, she kind of created the black and the
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: red and all that stuff and, you know, and created
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: that space. So, you know.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: It's pretty tight. Yeah, you wouldn't want it to change.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: Was there ever a chance that it was going to
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: be sold at some point?
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think we would ever sell it.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? I think just kind of
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: leave it. It's, you know, it's got to be. What's
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: it called? A Hollywood or a landmark or what's it called? Grandfather.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: What's it called?
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: It's like a– Historical landmark. Yeah, historical landmark. Yeah, at
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: some point, huh?
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. Yeah, it's a good point. I
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: remember somebody– I don't know if I saw a drawing
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: somewhere that a hotel had drawn around it. They were
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: going to build and leave it intact as is on
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: the ground.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: That's kind of cool.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: And build up and just– it was like a 20-story
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: hotel and it would be right under exactly the same.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: I remember seeing a– somebody had put that together. I
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: don't know if it was an– I think it was
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: an architect drawing. I don't know if it was actually
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: considered at one point, but I thought I remembered seeing
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: that somewhere. What– when you look at your life and
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: like maybe having a family, do you have any children?
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: My dog.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: That's like Scott. Your brother is the same, huh?
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: Do you have children? Scott's got a dog. He's got
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: a dog. Yeah, I got a dog. I don't know.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: I mean– That's a whole other podcast. Okay. That's like
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: a fucking, you know what I mean? We'll do it.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: That's like a whole other fucking.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: That's a good point. You know what I mean? That's
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: a whole, there you go. That's my dog Buster. Oh,
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: that's cute.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: When you look at guys like Brody Stevens, right? Who
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: have had, who, what a shock was that? Is that,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: do you feel like things like that happen with suicide
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: amongst comedians and stuff that happens? I mean, Jack Knight,
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: remember Jack Knight?
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: Who is that? Bring up Jack Knight. Who is he?
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: So funny. Great energy.

  Speaker 1: You remember Jack Knight?
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: Huh. Remember seeing him?
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: I think two years ago he took his life. Huh.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, one of the funniest young men. Heartbreaking. Yeah,
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: sometimes it's hard to get your mind to just fucking relax.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? And I think it's important.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: It sounds kind of corny, but I think it's really
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: important that everyone focuses on what they have as opposed
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: to what they don't have. And I think that is
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 2: like the key. Like you got to focus on your
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: blessings as opposed to– Yeah.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: Because the other way is a trap because there's no
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: end to– you can like– Yeah. Focus on what you
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: don't have and try to– I mean I fall into
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: it all the time, but it's just a– it's such
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: a trap or wanting more.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: And then not even enjoying.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: The saddest thing, I think, is sometimes when I look
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: back on certain moments in my life and I'm like, man,
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: I wish I had enjoyed that a little more. Just
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: by being present or just by sitting there quietly or by.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: Letting it in.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: Letting it in. Yeah. And so what are you doing
• 1:29:37

  Speaker 2: Like, I don't like... I've never been that guy either.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: I felt embarrassed... Inviting people over.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: To my apartment when I was a kid because I
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: was ashamed of it. And I feel embarrassed sometimes. I
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: have a house in Nashville. It's a nice home. And
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: it's not like an estate or anything. But I feel
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: ashamed even sometimes showing that. It's like, I just, I
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: don't know.

• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: this is kind of fucking emo and sad and is
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: definitely going to be accused of light homosexuality but um
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: yeah like sometimes i'll lay in bed at night and
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: like just the the The space in my bed, it
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: feels fucking lonesome, you know? But then sometimes if a
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: girl wanted to stay over, I'd be like, I don't
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: know if I like having somebody stay over.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: So it's like I just.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Everything with me. Well, I'll sleep in the other room. Yeah, yeah. No,
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: if a girl stays at night, I'm like, I'm going
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: to go peace out in the other room. Okay, okay.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: But when you sleep alone at night, what do you do?
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: How do you sleep? Okay, here's what I do. So
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: first I wash my face, brush my teeth, put in
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: my retainers, put on a Breathe Right strip on my nose, right?
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: I want all the O2. Is that from all the coke?
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it's from. It could be just
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: from having a big nose. It could be from cocaine.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: It could be a mix of things. It could be
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: from Satan. Who knows what happened. So you put the
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: stuff on here. Put the thing on, and then I'll
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: lay down, put a pillow between my legs, get another
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: pillow that I hold on to, set the air conditioner
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: at 69, because I don't want to be too crazy.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: And then you start 69ing your pillow? And I'll pee.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: I will pee right before I go to sleep and
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: hope I don't have to pee all night. That's my
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: goal is to not have to pee all night.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: And then what about sleep medication? Be honest. Yep.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: I'll take a couple Melatonin Chewies.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: And then I'll take a... There's a pill from my doctor.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: It's a... A Xanax? No, no. Ambien?
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: No, it's so light. It's like fucking... It's just basically like...
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: It's like a little queer nugget. I mean, this thing wouldn't,
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: it would barely do.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: Nothing to you. And then why is it that you
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: think you need to take the melatonin and this pill
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: from the doctor? Wait, stop. Wait three seconds to answer.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: Think about it. Why do you have to take that
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: in order to sleep? Is it a psychological thing? Do
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 2: you really feel like it really mellows you out or
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: do you think that it mellows you out?
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: I think it mellows me out.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: And I got to shut it down.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: Especially after a show, right?
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Fuck.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: And right now I am, I think I'm 64 days
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: off of masturbation and 60 days off of porn, 64
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: days off pornography and 57 days off of masturbation.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: So then you were doing it a lot?
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: Not a lot, but I had done it for countless years.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. But back when you were young, even in
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: your forties, you're jerking off all the time. Really?
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Don't you like to save your cum? I mean, yeah,
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: I like to store up for winter or whatever, I guess.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's like– Yeah, because if you're
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: going to come with a chick, you want a lot
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: to come out. I don't know. I don't want her
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: to get crazy.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: I don't want her to be like, God, we got
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: to– you're ruining the curtains or whatever.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: When you have sex with a girl, do you put
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: a condom on or she put it on or she
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: tells you to put it on?
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: Look, if people want to use a condom, we let
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: them use them, you know?
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: Who's we? I don't know who we are, Your Honor.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know who we are, okay? Talk to my
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: attorney right now. And then sometimes you put it in,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: and then they're like, yo, you're having sex with girls
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: without condoms? You're like, oh, what are you talking about?

  Speaker 1: I got a cold plunge at home. My friend makes
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: a good cold plunge, and he gave me one as
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: a gift. And he was my first sponsor ever on
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: my podcast. He used to own a pizza place here.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: My friend Thomas used to run a place called Gray
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: Block Pizza, and then he moved to Bend, Oregon, and
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: started making cold plunges. Cold plunges, yeah, out there with
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: his buddies.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 5: Beautiful.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's all about sweating. What about the workout?
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: What do you do with that?
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: I get a trainer like two days a week, and
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: then I'll go myself probably one or two days a week.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: I'll do a little bit of yoga too.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: Stretch lab? Do you go to get stretched? No, I

  Speaker 2: do my own yoga. That's good. Chiropractor?
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: No, but I need to go this morning. I was

  Speaker 2: I was like, Jesus. I got a good chiropractor out
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 2: here too. Really?
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 3: Really good.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was looking at my body in the mirror.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: I was like, Jesus, what is that? You just seem
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: like it was like fucking like it was like.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You gotta do that shit. My whole body looking,
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: you just wasn't sure. And dude, you know what? I'm
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: like 10 years older than you.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: So it's like, you know, this is the age where
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 2: you gotta start stretching. Really doing it. Yeah, that's the
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 2: most important thing, and sweating. Yeah. Yeah, do it all.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm starting to learn a little bit more of that.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: Now you can only get kind of so famous, right?
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: Like fame is different now. It feels like everybody's pretty
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: popular kind of.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: Everybody is, yeah.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: Because there's so much stuff to see quickly. It used
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: to be you had to go see a movie and
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: then those people would be famous. But now in the
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: time it would take you to watch a movie, you
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: can look at 200 different people and all of them
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: have a level of achievement to you. Do you feel
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: like you got fame at like the best time?
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think it was the last great
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: decade of it. I mean, if you look at the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s,
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 2: that was all kind of similar. And then once reality
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: shows hit, you know, the real world, I think that
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: was like the first reality show, which was in like
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: in the mid-90s. Yeah. I think that's when things got
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: fucked up. Yeah. But yeah, no, it was, you know,
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: it was pretty.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so crazy.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: Like, did you ever get to party with like Michael Jackson?
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: No. No, I met him once. You did? Yeah, I
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: met him once, but it wasn't like we hung out.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: It was just like a hi type thing. But I mean,
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 2: back in the MTV days, I met a lot of
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: pretty cool- But do.

  Speaker 2: I mean, God. I'm glad you're meeting him. You look
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 2: at guys like Bruno Mars, super talented, but not Michael
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: Jackson or Prince or These guys were like another level, yeah.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: And they had a level of mystery, and it was like, yeah. Yeah,
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: there was just so much, I don't know.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: But also MTV was the biggest thing in the world.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: Biggest thing in the world. Yeah, it was the biggest

  Speaker 1: He ever gets to party with her?
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 2: Not really. No, not really. She's in her own thing.

  Speaker 2: She did steal my table recently in Las Vegas.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, she showed up at a club?
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, I was having dinner at Catch in Vegas
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 2: over at the Aria, and I went to the bathroom,
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 2: and then she fucking, I guess, she hit some security guy,
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: and then she went in, and then I come back
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: to my fucking table, and she's sitting at my table.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: By herself? No, she's with her boyfriend or husband. Here,
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: look at this right here.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: She keeps getting different husbands or whatever.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so look, she touches this guy, and the security
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: hits her in the face.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Maybe one more time. And then she runs into
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: the catch, and I didn't care. You know what I mean?
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: It's not like I'm, get out of my table.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: But she ran to catch because she was probably embarrassed.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, and she went in there, and I was like,
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: all right, just give me my fanny pack. You can
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: have the table. I don't care.
• 1:42:51

• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: She said sorry. It's all good. It wasn't a big deal.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: How did she seem?

  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, down in Louisiana. There's no comedy clubs in Louisiana.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy? Do you remember there used to be
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: the Baton Rouge Funny Bone?
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: Did you ever go to it? Yes. Bro, that place had.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: A strip club across the street.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we used to do comedy down there back in
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 2: the day. I played a lot of clubs back there,
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: back in the 90s.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: New Orleans didn't even have a club.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: The what?
• 1:43:31

  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. Right there. That was it.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: The Funny Bone, baby. Baton Rouge Funny Bone.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 2: And, um.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 2: Rest in peace, uh... Is that the strip club? The Penthouse?
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: That's hilarious.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was it.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 5: Jesus.

• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: That's where I got my start.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: Right over there. Yeah. And then, um.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, what happened to me? I went to the store.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: I was on the porch one time, right, getting a beer.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: I was just coming out here, and Tommy comes out,
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: and he's like, well, haven't seen you in a while.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: And, bro, I'd never been there. I think he had
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: me confused with somebody.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's fucking hilarious.
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: He's like, why don't you come in tomorrow? I'll give
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: you a spot.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: Right. I'm like, all right, fuck. What year was this?
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: Shit, I don't even know.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 2: 2017, maybe. Mm-hmm.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: No, no, that's insane.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: No, 2007. Yeah, sorry, dude. What the fuck?
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 5: 17.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 2: My calendar's broken. Pauly Shore. Yeah, man. I'm glad we
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: got to sit down finally. Me too.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: I would love to talk again, but we'll talk about
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: the relationship stuff one day.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think we're similar. Yeah. It's tough. You
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? Yeah. And there's also something nice
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 2: about being alone. Yeah, and that grows over time, too.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, um, and you always, you know, you
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: always get people asking the same thing, which is what
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 2: you asked me, do you want kids? And there's like
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 2: a long pause and like you with the right situation.
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: I think I would, I'd be a good dad. I
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 2: know I'd be a good dad. And everyone says that
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 2: to me, you know, cause I love my, not to
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 2: compare my dog to a kid, but I treat my
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 2: dog great. And I love being with, and I feel
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 2: like it's my kid, you know? So, um, yeah. And
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 2: then also another thing is like, my parents are deceased
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 2: and I don't have that. So it's like, you know,
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: so you start a new life, you know, cause I'm
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 2: an orphan, you know, you know, and, and, and I
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 2: want to, you know, start a new life and look
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: at my next 20, 30 years. And I think it'd
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 2: be cool to have a kid, you know? But again,
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 2: like it's gotta be the, you know. And to make
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: them laugh, dude, that would be cool.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: Make your kid laugh all the time. Or what if
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: they don't even laugh at your jokes? You're like, damn.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 2: Hilarious. That'd be even funnier. That would be fucking funnier. Gosh.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: But, um, Yeah, it would be really nice, man. It
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: would be really, really nice. It's tough, though, because I
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: think as a comedian, part of you is still a
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: kid in some ways. You know, I think it's a
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: part of that that we don't let go of. And
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: it's so for some of us or for me, for sure.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: Is your parents still with us? It's tough to evolve. Yeah,
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: my mother's still alive. And your dad?
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: And my dad is dead, but he'd be alive if
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: he could.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: And then you have brothers and sisters?
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got three brothers and sisters. They've all had children.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: Or two of them have had kids.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, so how's that? So there's been kids. It's fun.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 2: Being an uncle's great. Yeah, I saw you on your
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 2: Instagram when you were home with them. Yeah, we had
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: a blast. Do you have nieces and nephews? Yes, I do. Oh, good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: Peter has some children?
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 2: Yep. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah. We'll see.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 2: It's cool. We'll see. But anyways. It's possible.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: Pauly Shore, man. Thank you so much, dude. I really
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: appreciate it.
• 1:46:46

• 1:47:04
  Speaker 2: be doing that as well.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: That video is so impressive. If you haven't gotten a
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: chance to see it, we played a little bit of
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: it here, but... Court gesture, yeah. God, it's amazing, dude.
