- 0:45Speaker 1: It's such a fun show. You know, what a great idea.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Kind of amazing nobody thought it up.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Well, he just kind of put his open mics and
- 0:53Speaker 2: his roasts and his personality and his friends and has
- 0:56Speaker 2: built a community. It's kind of amazing.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Oh, it's incredible. He's the new Johnny Carson. I mean,
- 1:01Speaker 1: think about how many, like, Adam Ray's killing it, selling
- 1:03Speaker 1: out giant theaters. All these guys that, you know, came
- 1:06Speaker 1: through that show are fucking destroying now.
- 1:08Speaker 2: This is our tribe, Joe.
- 1:10Speaker 1: I know.
- 1:11Speaker 2: I love it.
- 1:11Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's a good time for comedy.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Did I hear that you have a German Shepherd?
- 1:16Speaker 1: No. No, I have a Golden Retriever, and I have
- 1:18Speaker 1: a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Oh, okay. Little tiny fella.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Somebody told me something different.
- 1:25Speaker 1: No. I love German Shepherds, but I don't have one.
- 1:27Speaker 2: I have a German Shepherd.
- 1:28Speaker 1: They're the best. That's what I'm talking about. You have
- 1:30Speaker 1: to exercise the shit out of them, though. They need work.
- 1:33Speaker 2: She loves to run around and dig and climb and adventures.
- 1:37Speaker 1: They need tasks. They're not like my Golden. He's just
- 1:40Speaker 1: cool just chilling, laying on his back in his belly rub.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Oh, I follow him on Instagram. Don't worry.
- 1:45Speaker 1: He's the best.
- 1:45Speaker 2: I look for my mornings with him.
- 1:47Speaker 1: I mean, they're a very low-maintenance dog. And he's trained.
- 1:52Speaker 1: You could train him very easily. But as far as
- 1:54Speaker 1: like a guard dog and that kind of useless dog.
- 1:58Speaker 2: My dog can like sit, stay, and run around frantically.
- 2:04Speaker 2: I'll be like, run around frantically. And she'll just run around.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Well, they have so much energy. Those dogs are just
- 2:08Speaker 1: designed to work.
- 2:10Speaker 2: I put her to work for two months this summer
- 2:13Speaker 2: on Broadway. She came out at the end of my
- 2:14Speaker 2: show and howled with me in the audience.
- 2:17Speaker 1: She can howl on cue?
- 2:19Speaker 2: We taught her. I had the same trainer that did
- 2:22Speaker 2: Sandy from the show Annie, like from when I was
- 2:24Speaker 2: a kid. Bill Bertolone. And he's like, I could teach her.
- 2:27Speaker 2: She's like a wild rescue German shepherd from the desert.
- 2:30Speaker 2: And there she was, like, came out, jumped on a couch,
- 2:34Speaker 2: hit her mark, turned to the audience, and we, like, sang.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Oh, that's awesome.
- 2:39Speaker 2: She had her own dressing room.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Nipsey.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Her name's Nipsey. And then when the run was over,
- 2:47Speaker 2: she was like, no more work. I need something else
- 2:50Speaker 2: to do.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Yeah, they need things to do. Like people that just
- 2:53Speaker 1: have them and have them in an apartment and don't
- 2:55Speaker 1: go anywhere, like that's a crazy thing to do to
- 2:57Speaker 1: a dog like that. Yeah. Oh, look at her. Oh,
- 3:00Speaker 1: my God.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Wow.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Look how sweet. So she's a rescue dog? She is.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Where'd you find her?
- 3:05Speaker 2: They found her in a Bummy breeder in Reno during
- 3:12Speaker 2: the pandemic. I had an old dog. I had an
- 3:15Speaker 2: old senior dog that my ex found on the street.
- 3:20Speaker 2: And we took care of her at the beginning of
- 3:21Speaker 2: the pandemic. And the ex left, left the dog. So
- 3:27Speaker 2: it was just me and this old beat-up street dog
- 3:29Speaker 2: for a few months. And the vet was like, I
- 3:31Speaker 2: got another, a puppy, German Shepherd. Oh, she was a puppy?
- 3:35Speaker 2: This one was, yeah.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Oh, that's great.
- 3:37Speaker 2: So now it's like five years ago already. So she's
- 3:39Speaker 2: my bestie.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Aww. Aww.
- 3:42Speaker 2: And we do everything. I mean, I just love her
- 3:44Speaker 2: to pieces. Even getting on the plane to come here
- 3:47Speaker 2: yesterday as a part of me was like, should I
- 3:49Speaker 2: bring her and let her run around the Four Seas
- 3:51Speaker 2: for a couple days and whatever. But, yeah, it's hard
- 3:55Speaker 2: leaving them. It's like I have a kid. She looks
- 3:58Speaker 2: at me looking for the buzzwords. Are we going? Are
- 4:02Speaker 2: we staying? Are we eating?
- 4:03Speaker 1: I know. They get separation anxiety big time. And they
- 4:06Speaker 1: get very attached to one person. Right. Yeah. You're her daddy.
- 4:11Speaker 2: She's just so sweet. She'll lay in bed, never wakes me,
- 4:15Speaker 2: rolls over, arms up, ready to get. She can't start
- 4:20Speaker 2: the day without a full belly rub. I almost like
- 4:23Speaker 2: hold her legs and play her like a guitar. And
- 4:27Speaker 2: she just, you know, tongues out, just complete euphoria. Once
- 4:30Speaker 2: a week I take all her collars off and just
- 4:33Speaker 2: rub the neck and just her eyes start watering.
- 4:36Speaker 1: That's so cute.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Highly right. I never was into dogs. I'm slightly allergic.
- 4:41Speaker 2: My sister got snapped on by a Doberman when we
- 4:44Speaker 2: were little. So I was always a little afraid. And
- 4:47Speaker 2: then it was just kind of forced on me during
- 4:49Speaker 2: the pandemic because all these dogs needed homes. So now
- 4:52Speaker 2: here I am. I'm a freaking doggy daddy.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Oh, I love dogs. I've always had dogs. I will
- 4:57Speaker 1: never not have dogs. I love them. I love them.
- 5:00Speaker 1: What do you think it is? They're just these amazing
- 5:04Speaker 1: creatures that just love the shit out of you. And
- 5:07Speaker 1: especially if you train them from the time they're puppies...
- 5:09Speaker 1: and you give them nothing but love, they're so connected
- 5:12Speaker 1: to you. And then, you know, it's just awesome. You
- 5:15Speaker 1: wake up in the morning, and it's always positive. It's always, hello, hello.
- 5:20Speaker 1: I wake up with Marshall, and he starts whining and whimpering.
- 5:22Speaker 1: And I do this thing in the morning. I go,
- 5:25Speaker 1: good morning, sir. Good morning, sir. He's wagging his tail,
- 5:30Speaker 1: and he's rolling around on his back, and I'm rubbing
- 5:33Speaker 1: his belly, and he's giving me kisses. He loves it.
- 5:37Speaker 1: He gets so excited to see me in the morning.
- 5:39Speaker 1: It's like his ritual. He knows the ritual's coming. He's
- 5:43Speaker 1: going to get all this love.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Does he sleep in your room?
- 5:46Speaker 1: No, no. My wife is a little bit allergic, so
- 5:48Speaker 1: he sleeps outside the room. Right. But he is... He's
- 5:52Speaker 1: just a giant love sponge. That's what he is. It's
- 5:55Speaker 1: like he loves everybody. Everybody who comes in the house... Like,
- 5:58Speaker 1: he'd meet you for the first time. He's like, I
- 6:00Speaker 1: can't believe you're here. He's just so excited to meet everybody.
- 6:04Speaker 2: My dog checks everybody. She's got to, like, check them
- 6:07Speaker 2: out first.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Of course. German Shepherd.
- 6:08Speaker 2: It's different. And if somebody has, like, chemical imbalances or
- 6:11Speaker 2: a little off, she lets me know.
- 6:14Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. You got screwball friends? Yeah.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Well, every now and then, you know, comics will be
- 6:17Speaker 2: off their minds, and they'll come over and be like,
- 6:20Speaker 2: I used to know that person. I don't know that
- 6:21Speaker 2: person anymore. The dog just, like, alerts me.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, they're very watchful. They're shepherds. They're
- 6:28Speaker 1: protecting you. They're protecting their daddy.
- 6:31Speaker 2: She's funny on the plane. I've only flown with her twice,
- 6:34Speaker 2: but once to New York and then once back after
- 6:38Speaker 2: we were done on Broadway. It was nine months later.
- 6:42Speaker 2: She literally knew how to walk on the plane, where
- 6:45Speaker 2: to go, where her seat was, remembers everything like a person.
- 6:48Speaker 1: They're very smart dogs, very smart dogs. It's one of
- 6:51Speaker 1: the reasons why they need someone to exercise. Like, the
- 6:53Speaker 1: dumbest dogs can just lay around and do nothing. Yeah.
- 6:55Speaker 1: But really smart dogs, they need a lot of activity.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Especially shepherds, because they're working dogs.
- 7:00Speaker 2: If I leave her alone too long, she'll dig up
- 7:02Speaker 2: the backyard. She needs something to do.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Yeah, they get crazy. They're like an athlete. Yeah. You know,
- 7:07Speaker 1: they need work. They need to go.
- 7:10Speaker 2: And they don't need a lot of food. They don't
- 7:12Speaker 2: need a lot. She's like.
- 7:14Speaker 1: What do you feed her?
- 7:15Speaker 2: You know, I used to overfeed her and give her
- 7:17Speaker 2: a lot of table scraps and spoil her, and then
- 7:19Speaker 2: I learned... more recently, that if I keep her to
- 7:21Speaker 2: like a cup and a half of kibble a day
- 7:23Speaker 2: that the vet recommended.
- 7:25Speaker 1: You should get her on raw food. Sorry. Raw food
- 7:27Speaker 1: or fresh food. Oh, interesting. Yeah. I used to feed
- 7:30Speaker 1: my dogs kibble too. I had one dog that got
- 7:33Speaker 1: cancer and I read about all these dogs getting cancer and,
- 7:37Speaker 1: you know, they get fat so easy when you give
- 7:39Speaker 1: them kibble and it's just because that stuff can sit
- 7:41Speaker 1: on a shelf forever. Yeah. It's like you wouldn't eat it.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Why are they eating it? Right. It's not healthy for them.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Sometimes I put a little turkey in the Turkey's great.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Real food is great. Real food for your dog is
- 7:53Speaker 1: the way to go. I feed my dog farmer's dog.
- 7:55Speaker 1: It comes frozen. It has to be frozen. Right. And
- 7:58Speaker 1: the way they attack it versus the way they attack kibble,
- 8:02Speaker 1: like kibble's like, okay, they're eating. No big deal. Yeah.
- 8:05Speaker 1: But they just can't wait to eat this stuff. Like
- 8:07Speaker 1: they get excited. Like the little guy, little Charlie, he
- 8:10Speaker 1: literally leaps up in the air trying to get to
- 8:12Speaker 1: the counter when I'm putting the food in his bowl.
- 8:15Speaker 1: It gets nuts. They love it. It's real food. It's
- 8:19Speaker 1: human-grade food for dogs.
- 8:20Speaker 2: I have to check that out.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. It comes frozen. And also they give it
- 8:23Speaker 1: to you the right portions for your dog so you
- 8:25Speaker 1: don't have to think about it. Like you put in
- 8:27Speaker 1: your dog's weight, what breed your dog is, and whether
- 8:31Speaker 1: your dog's overweight or not. And they measure it out
- 8:34Speaker 1: calorie-wise so it's specific to your dog.
- 8:37Speaker 2: My dog's weight is good, but I got to get
- 8:39Speaker 2: her to stop smoking. She's just got to stop.
- 8:41Speaker 1: You know what?
- 8:42Speaker 2: It's funny. She used to really hate when I light
- 8:44Speaker 2: up a joint.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Oh, really?
- 8:46Speaker 2: When she was little, she'd run in the other room.
- 8:47Speaker 2: But now she's just like, oh, that's daddy.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Well, she'd probably get a little paranoid. I used to
- 8:52Speaker 1: have a pit bull that she would get paranoid if
- 8:54Speaker 1: she was in the room when we got high. And
- 8:56Speaker 1: I was realizing, oh, this poor dog. She's getting high, too.
- 8:59Speaker 1: She was a rescue dog, too. I found her. She
- 9:01Speaker 1: was covered in mane. She was so sad. She was
- 9:03Speaker 1: eating out of garbage cans.
- 9:05Speaker 2: It's heartbreaking.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Yeah. A friend of mine found her, and they took
- 9:08Speaker 1: her in, and then they called me, and they said,
- 9:10Speaker 1: do you want another dog? I had one dog already.
- 9:12Speaker 1: I said, absolutely. And as soon as I saw her,
- 9:15Speaker 1: I was like, oh. Yeah.
- 9:16Speaker 2: They're good together.
- 9:18Speaker 1: It was so horrible. She was covered in mane. She
- 9:20Speaker 1: had little scabs on her and everything. It all went
- 9:22Speaker 1: away within like two months of food. But that dog,
- 9:25Speaker 1: because of living on the street, she could never get
- 9:28Speaker 1: enough food. She was always like raiding garbage cans and stuff.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Like you'd have to lock up the garbage can, strap
- 9:33Speaker 1: it down with a bungee cord. She would tip them
- 9:35Speaker 1: over and she was never full. Even though she would
- 9:39Speaker 1: like get fat, she was never full.
- 9:41Speaker 2: Just in case.
- 9:42Speaker 1: It was just, you know, she was starving when I
- 9:45Speaker 1: found her.
- 9:48Speaker 2: I had the old dog first and then the young
- 9:50Speaker 2: German Shepherd. So the old one had all these street
- 9:53Speaker 2: habits like that. And she taught him to the young dog,
- 9:56Speaker 2: like the young dog, walks down the stairs as if
- 9:59Speaker 2: she has a broken back hip.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Oh, no.
- 10:02Speaker 2: And she learned how to get in the car from
- 10:04Speaker 2: an old dog, so two legs. She could leap right in.
- 10:07Speaker 2: She's a kid, but she still goes two paws up,
- 10:10Speaker 2: and I have to pick her up.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how Marshall does it.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Overprotective like the old dog.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Yeah, Marshall, I think he probably could jump in my car,
- 10:18Speaker 1: but it's like, He knows I'll just lift him up
- 10:21Speaker 1: because I've done it since he was a puppy. So
- 10:22Speaker 1: we do this little thing. I go, you ready? He
- 10:25Speaker 1: puts his paws out. I go, one, two, three. It's
- 10:27Speaker 1: always one, two, three, up. So he gets ready.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Do they talk to you? My dog howls with me
- 10:34Speaker 2: in the morning.
- 10:34Speaker 1: No, Marshall only talks when he wants to come inside.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Like if he's outside, he'll just bark once at the door.
- 10:39Speaker 1: He's really good. He's the best dog.
- 10:43Speaker 2: What does his bark sound like?
- 10:45Speaker 1: Let me in. It's like, hey, I'm out here. Come on.
- 10:49Speaker 1: You know, he's out until he's not. You know, he's
- 10:51Speaker 1: out until he's bored. And then he just lets you know.
- 10:54Speaker 1: It's not annoying.
- 10:56Speaker 2: The old dog, if I had to put her, like, if, like,
- 10:58Speaker 2: a guy came over to work on the house or something,
- 11:00Speaker 2: I had to put her, like, in a bedroom or
- 11:01Speaker 2: a bathroom. She was, you know, a big, big dog.
- 11:06Speaker 2: She would gnaw on the handles. So I have a
- 11:09Speaker 2: house full of, like, chrome. Door handles that all have
- 11:13Speaker 2: like bite marks the bite is amazing Yeah, you.
- 11:17Speaker 1: Got to give them things to chew on all the time.
- 11:20Speaker 1: You know there's two toys all over my house Yeah,
- 11:22Speaker 1: everywhere my dog has Marshall has like a big box
- 11:26Speaker 1: filled with toys Yeah, and it was like and he
- 11:29Speaker 1: just goes in and picks one out.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Yeah, randomly. Yeah, and so it is I go What are.
- 11:33Speaker 1: You gonna get which toy is like looking around? Picks
- 11:36Speaker 1: one out and then him and the little dog they
- 11:38Speaker 1: play tug-of-war. It's adorable.
- 11:40Speaker 2: I So they get along.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 11:43Speaker 2: You knew they'd get along before you got the psycho.
- 11:45Speaker 1: He's the easiest dog to get along with. He gets
- 11:47Speaker 1: along with everything and everybody. Jamie's got a psycho dog.
- 11:51Speaker 1: Jamie's got this little French bulldog that's like a little
- 11:54Speaker 1: meat missile. Yeah. He's a nut. He's great. He's awesome. Oh, yeah.
- 11:59Speaker 1: He's nuts. He's three. Almost three. He's two and a half.
- 12:01Speaker 1: He's a little psycho. He's jacked. He's super jacked. Really?
- 12:05Speaker 1: He's like this little French bulldog, but he's just fucking jacked.
- 12:08Speaker 1: And him and Marshall just play insane. It's insane. Like,
- 12:12Speaker 1: Carl throws himself through the air at Marshall. Because he
- 12:16Speaker 1: knows that Marshall is, like, super gentle. And they just
- 12:18Speaker 1: play back and forth. But it's adorable.
- 12:21Speaker 2: If a dog is small enough, like a little chihuahua-type dog,
- 12:25Speaker 2: they can put their head inside. My dog will just
- 12:28Speaker 2: open her mouth and let another dog just roll her
- 12:30Speaker 2: head inside her mouth.
- 12:31Speaker 1: No instincts.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy. It just wants it to play.
- 12:34Speaker 1: It's just nuts that those used to be wolves. They've
- 12:37Speaker 1: turned wolves into these little tiny things you could carry around.
- 12:41Speaker 2: I mean, in a thousand years, they'll be, are they
- 12:44Speaker 2: getting smarter the way humans are evolving? I wonder.
- 12:47Speaker 1: That's a good question. I wonder. I mean, I think
- 12:49Speaker 1: there would have to be a reason for them to
- 12:51Speaker 1: get smarter. You know, some dogs are like the dogs
- 12:54Speaker 1: that are trained, like a Belgian Malinois. Those are really
- 12:58Speaker 1: smart dogs. You know, those are dog, military dogs. Yeah.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Those dogs, you cannot just leave that dog alone. No.
- 13:06Speaker 1: It's like a shepherd times 10. Yeah. They look like
- 13:08Speaker 1: shepherds sort of, but those dogs, they're so intelligent. Yeah.
- 13:13Speaker 1: They are constantly scanning everything and looking for everything. They
- 13:17Speaker 1: know when you're weird. They know everything. Right. Yeah. So
- 13:20Speaker 1: those dogs have to be smart because they have jobs.
- 13:23Speaker 1: They use them like those are the dogs they sicced
- 13:25Speaker 1: on like Osama bin Laden's crew. Right. They open the
- 13:28Speaker 1: door and they breach. Dogs run in.
- 13:31Speaker 2: Incredible.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:33Speaker 2: My dog's such a wimp compared to all that.
- 13:35Speaker 1: So is mine.
- 13:36Speaker 2: She just wants to play.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Yeah, these are the only dogs that, well, I've had
- 13:38Speaker 1: a couple dogs before. Like I had a dog that
- 13:41Speaker 1: was a Shibu Inu mix, and he was kind of
- 13:44Speaker 1: a pussy. And I had a Mastiff before that. But
- 13:47Speaker 1: mostly I've had like big guard dogs. Right. You know,
- 13:51Speaker 1: and these are the dogs, first dogs I've had that are,
- 13:54Speaker 1: they're not guarding shit. Yeah.
- 13:57Speaker 2: They guard your emotions, buddy. They guard your emotions.
- 14:01Speaker 1: They're just sweet. They're just awesome to have. It's like
- 14:04Speaker 1: you just have love around you all the time, and
- 14:06Speaker 1: they're never in a bad mood. There's never a day
- 14:08Speaker 1: where he's never had a bad day in his life.
- 14:11Speaker 1: Every day is a great day. Every day he's happy.
- 14:14Speaker 2: Even if you're not there?
- 14:15Speaker 1: Well, he gets sad if I'm not there for sure. But, like,
- 14:18Speaker 1: I pull out the ball. It's always the same thing.
- 14:21Speaker 1: It's never, like, one day I'm like, maybe he's going
- 14:22Speaker 1: to get bored of this fucking ball. Nope. I pull
- 14:25Speaker 1: out that ball. Oh, oh, the ball. The ball's out.
- 14:29Speaker 1: Let's go. Bouncing around, wagging his tail, jumping up. I
- 14:34Speaker 1: got a ball that's got, like, the stick. Like, it's
- 14:36Speaker 1: like a long curved stick so you can throw the
- 14:39Speaker 1: ball further.
- 14:39Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
- 14:40Speaker 1: And, you know, he just starts leaping up towards the stick.
- 14:42Speaker 1: He gets so pumped. I'm like, one day he's going
- 14:45Speaker 1: to get bored of this. Nope. He's nine years old.
- 14:47Speaker 1: He's never gotten bored of it.
- 14:48Speaker 2: When I come up the stairs, if she sees that
- 14:50Speaker 2: I have my sneakers on, she starts stretching like an Olympian.
- 14:54Speaker 1: Let's go. Time to go. Yeah. Dogs are awesome. People
- 14:58Speaker 1: that don't have them, I feel bad for them. Like
- 15:01Speaker 1: you're missing a lot of love in your life, especially
- 15:03Speaker 1: like people that live alone. You know, it's like you
- 15:06Speaker 1: always have a friend. You always have someone. I talk
- 15:08Speaker 1: to my dog. Like I have conversations with him.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 15:11Speaker 1: You know?
- 15:12Speaker 2: And does Marshall look you in the eyes when you're talking?
- 15:15Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
- 15:16Speaker 2: It's a real friend.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Oh, he's like the most loving creature I've ever encountered.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Do you tell the dog stuff you wouldn't tell your
- 15:24Speaker 2: family or your friends?
- 15:26Speaker 1: No.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm like, hey, Nipsey, man, I probably shouldn't have
- 15:29Speaker 2: said that to him. She has emotional, like she knows
- 15:35Speaker 2: when I'm happy, sad, nervous, sick.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Mostly it's baby talk. Mostly it's like, oh, he's my buddy.
- 15:42Speaker 1: He watches TV with me. He climbs up on the
- 15:44Speaker 1: couch and sits on my lap. He puts his head
- 15:46Speaker 1: on my lap.
- 15:47Speaker 2: The best.
- 15:47Speaker 1: Yeah. And when there's animals on TV, he parks his
- 15:50Speaker 1: head up. Yeah. Because it's a big TV. And so
- 15:53Speaker 1: he's like, what the fuck is that? Is that real?
- 15:55Speaker 1: He has to.
- 15:57Speaker 2: When Nipsey first came out from the desert, she was,
- 16:00Speaker 2: you know, like six, seven month old, you know, puppy,
- 16:03Speaker 2: but still a sizable dog. A German Shepherd at six
- 16:06Speaker 2: months is already like a dog. And the old dog,
- 16:09Speaker 2: which was old, you know, on her deathbed, but wise,
- 16:13Speaker 2: street wise. She was on the floor and the puppy
- 16:17Speaker 2: was up on my bed. It was her first night
- 16:20Speaker 2: in a home. And I put on TV. I put
- 16:24Speaker 2: on House of Cards. And it was this daunting kind
- 16:27Speaker 2: of scary music. And the dog's just watching. And it's
- 16:31Speaker 2: like a shadowy figure. It was Kevin Spacey coming down
- 16:33Speaker 2: the hall, his character coming down the hall. And as
- 16:37Speaker 2: this man was revealed full screen on a big screen,
- 16:41Speaker 2: Nipsey did a backflip, fell off the bed, and ran
- 16:44Speaker 2: and hid in the closet. And the old dog, Nana,
- 16:48Speaker 2: was like, Oh boy, she had to like pull herself
- 16:51Speaker 2: up at her bad legs and go in the closet
- 16:54Speaker 2: and tell her to come back out.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Now listen, it's TV. It's almost time for spring break.
- 17:02Speaker 1: So maybe you're headed to the beach or maybe you're
- 17:04Speaker 1: taking the kids on a road trip or maybe you're

- 18:09Speaker 1: show that was. Oh, yeah. Oh, what a fucking show.
- 18:11Speaker 1: They never should have done that last season. Once Kevin
- 18:14Speaker 1: Spacey got canceled, they should have just canceled it. It
- 18:16Speaker 1: was done. Or, you know, not. Right. Such a good
- 18:20Speaker 1: fucking show.
- 18:21Speaker 2: That was a great show.
- 18:22Speaker 1: It's crazy. I saw him. He was in Israel. doing
- 18:27Speaker 1: some weird thing where he was like doing like a
- 18:30Speaker 1: song and dance routine in a small club recently like
- 18:35Speaker 1: he's been kind of reduced to doing that for money.
- 18:38Speaker 2: Is that reduced or is that part of the comeback
- 18:42Speaker 2: you got to start i.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Don't know i mean it's something i mean i guess
- 18:45Speaker 1: he's just making money you know he's completely bankrupt he
- 18:50Speaker 1: lost everything it's crazy show business it's a Well, it's
- 18:54Speaker 1: not just show business, right? It's also, what did you do?
- 18:59Speaker 1: What did you get caught for? He was an old
- 19:03Speaker 1: school dick grabber. A lot of those old school guys.
- 19:06Speaker 2: No one really likes that. Getting their dick grabbed like that.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Some gay guys do, I think. I think what he
- 19:12Speaker 1: did probably worked on some guys. You know what I'm saying? Right.
- 19:17Speaker 1: Gay guys have a whole different way of interacting with
- 19:20Speaker 1: each other that we don't have. But I think with Spacey,
- 19:25Speaker 1: it was like some of those fellows were young, and
- 19:28Speaker 1: that's the problem.
- 19:30Speaker 2: Power.
- 19:31Speaker 1: It's power. It's like in the gay community, there's a
- 19:35Speaker 1: lot of guys that think it's okay for young gay
- 19:37Speaker 1: guys who are underage to hook up with older gay guys.
- 19:44Speaker 1: That's like Milo Yiannopoulos. Remember him? He actually talked about
- 19:48Speaker 1: that on my show. He was talking about when he
- 19:50Speaker 1: was 14. He hooked up with this older guy. And
- 19:54Speaker 1: he's like, trust me, I was the predator. He's like
- 19:57Speaker 1: saying that he was going after the guy. I was like,
- 19:59Speaker 1: all right. But it's different. In their eyes... I mean,
- 20:03Speaker 1: I'm just speaking for gay guys that I've talked to.
- 20:05Speaker 1: It's different in their eyes than an adult male and
- 20:09Speaker 1: a young female. Right. But Kevin Spacey's a fucking unbelievable actor.
- 20:16Speaker 1: That fucking House of Cards was so good. It was
- 20:19Speaker 1: so good. Such a good show. I'm glad it's still
- 20:23Speaker 1: out there. It was so good.
- 20:25Speaker 2: It made me miss and re-watch West Wing. That's how
- 20:28Speaker 2: good it was.
- 20:29Speaker 1: I never watched that. I think I maybe watched one
- 20:32Speaker 1: or two episodes.
- 20:33Speaker 2: It's like an idealistic version of what politics could be.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Right. Martin Sheen is like the president we wish we had.
- 20:41Speaker 2: It was a long time ago. But he's also controversial.
- 20:45Speaker 2: He's hiding a medical thing. It got way ahead of
- 20:48Speaker 2: a lot of the modern day stories.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Like Biden. Yeah. Yeah.
- 20:53Speaker 2: And his wife's a doctor, so she's helping him.
- 20:58Speaker 1: Well, we always have these idealistic ideas of who we
- 21:01Speaker 1: want to be our leader. And the thing about the
- 21:03Speaker 1: Kevin Spacey character was like, that's probably more realistic. Like
- 21:09Speaker 1: that guy is more realistic.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Well, as we get older, we understand you got to
- 21:14Speaker 2: be cutthroat to make it. There's got to be a
- 21:17Speaker 2: certain killer instinct in a president.
- 21:19Speaker 1: You're also most likely deeply compromised by the time you
- 21:22Speaker 1: get into office. which is the only way you navigate
- 21:25Speaker 1: those worlds. Everybody's compromised. Everybody's gone to that eyes wide
- 21:29Speaker 1: shut party. Right. I couldn't get in.
- 21:33Speaker 2: Just for the record.
- 21:34Speaker 1: Yeah, me neither. I don't want to get in. I know.
- 21:39Speaker 2: That's a good thing. A dog can kind of save
- 21:41Speaker 2: your career because you get invited to some wild sex party.
- 21:44Speaker 2: You'll be like, my dog's been waiting for me for
- 21:46Speaker 2: five hours. Sorry, I can't go.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Yeah, meanwhile, it's better to just hang out with your dog.
- 21:51Speaker 1: You'll have a better time and you won't feel gross
- 21:52Speaker 1: in the morning. I guess. But I think a lot
- 21:55Speaker 1: of those people are sociopaths. They probably don't even feel
- 21:57Speaker 1: gross ever.
- 21:58Speaker 2: I was out all weekend for the Fanatics football stuff.
- 22:02Speaker 2: Travis Scott's DJing till 3 in the morning.
- 22:04Speaker 1: What is the Fanatics football stuff?
- 22:06Speaker 2: They had a flag football tournament in L.A. It was
- 22:08Speaker 2: supposed to be in Riyadh, and they had to move
- 22:10Speaker 2: it to L.A. Tom Brady and the Fanatics.
- 22:15Speaker 1: What's the Fanatics?
- 22:16Speaker 2: It's like a– I guess it's a branding company. They
- 22:19Speaker 2: do all the jerseys. They do all the– Michael Rubin
- 22:24Speaker 2: and Michael Ratner, two friends of mine, did this flag
- 22:27Speaker 2: football game. And I was just partying. I just took
- 22:29Speaker 2: the weekend off and I'm like seeing all the football
- 22:32Speaker 2: players and it was just so much fun. And then
- 22:36Speaker 2: just as the party's really getting hot, I'm like, I
- 22:39Speaker 2: miss my dog.
- 22:40Speaker 1: I'm going home. Yeah, there's always this thing in the
- 22:43Speaker 1: back of your head like I got to get home.
- 22:45Speaker 1: He's been home alone for five hours. He's been home
- 22:47Speaker 1: alone for six hours. I'm thinking about him. He has
- 22:50Speaker 1: to pee. He's a good boy. He's not going to
- 22:52Speaker 1: pee in the house, but he's probably holding it in
- 22:54Speaker 1: and upset. Isn't it nuts? People think, especially comics, we
- 23:02Speaker 1: want to be up late, getting drunk, fucking off, being retarded,
- 23:07Speaker 1: doing drugs. You just want to get home. You want
- 23:10Speaker 1: to get home, chill out, relax, watch TV.
- 23:13Speaker 2: I feel like if I had a dog when I
- 23:15Speaker 2: was starting out in comedy, I would have been more disciplined.
- 23:18Speaker 2: I would have been coming home instead of staying out
- 23:20Speaker 2: all night. I kind of regret that a little bit.
- 23:23Speaker 1: You regret staying out all night?
- 23:24Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know how it is. You do
- 23:27Speaker 2: your set, you start hanging out in the club, in
- 23:30Speaker 2: the comedy club and drinking or eating or whatever. But
- 23:33Speaker 2: there's a certain, I don't know, you go home and
- 23:37Speaker 2: you're up earlier, you get more done the next day.
- 23:39Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely. Well, it's just you feel better. It's hard
- 23:43Speaker 1: to leave when you're having fun. You know, it's also
- 23:46Speaker 1: you feel like you're a part of a, Different society.
- 23:49Speaker 1: Society of people who don't have a regular job. You
- 23:52Speaker 1: got freedom. You're your own boss.
- 23:55Speaker 2: I grew up, I lost my parents as a teenager.
- 23:58Speaker 2: So I live every day like I could die tomorrow.
- 24:02Speaker 2: So I never want to leave. I have ultimate FOMO
- 24:06Speaker 2: all the time. I never want to miss an event,
- 24:08Speaker 2: a party. I went to the Super Bowl. I went
- 24:10Speaker 2: to All-Star Weekend. I want to go to the Grammys.
- 24:13Speaker 2: I love life. I want to make the most out
- 24:16Speaker 2: of it all the time. It works against me sometimes,
- 24:19Speaker 2: I think.
- 24:19Speaker 1: That's interesting, right? That's the plus side of experiencing loss
- 24:22Speaker 1: when you're young. You really want, you really relish life.
- 24:27Speaker 1: You want to make the most out of it. You
- 24:29Speaker 1: want to enjoy it while it's here. Yeah. Yeah.
- 24:33Speaker 2: One of the things I say on my show is
- 24:36Speaker 2: I learned early on human beings were made to mourn
- 24:40Speaker 2: and move on. You can't mourn forever or a part
- 24:43Speaker 2: of you dies, and that's not fair. So it gave
- 24:46Speaker 2: me this sort of zest for living. You take that
- 24:49Speaker 2: loss as a young person, you're afraid at any second.
- 24:54Speaker 2: It's hard to make long-term plans. Are your parents still alive? Yeah,
- 24:58Speaker 2: it's an amazing, amazing blessing. And sometimes when you lose
- 25:02Speaker 2: people young, you live in the constant fear that it's
- 25:07Speaker 2: all going to fall apart.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Yeah, I've lost a lot of friends. Like, sometimes I
- 25:11Speaker 1: look at my contact list when I get a new phone,
- 25:15Speaker 1: you know, and you're swapping over contacts, and I'm like, oh, fuck.
- 25:19Speaker 1: You know, I've got, like, 20 dead people on my
- 25:21Speaker 1: contact list. Some of them I just keep in there,
- 25:25Speaker 1: you know. I got old phones where, like, Bourdain was
- 25:28Speaker 1: texting me. I just kept the phone. I'm like, I'm
- 25:30Speaker 1: never throwing this phone away. You know, a bunch of friends.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Are just gone. I get Bob Saget's texts all the time.
- 25:37Speaker 2: I listen to Gilbert Gottfried's voicemails.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what you mean, yeah.
- 25:41Speaker 2: It just brings me right back to that.
- 25:44Speaker 1: Those two guys, those were two tough ones. Those were
- 25:47Speaker 1: two really tough ones.
- 25:48Speaker 2: There's that famous picture of me, Norm, Gilbert, and Bob
- 25:52Speaker 2: that Adam Egatt took at Jones Restaurant in Hollywood. And
- 25:59Speaker 2: I show that in my special, and I talk about
- 26:02Speaker 2: each one, do like a tribute to Norm and I
- 26:06Speaker 2: do a tribute to Gilbert, whose family is a big
- 26:08Speaker 2: part of my family now. His kids are great kids.
- 26:10Speaker 2: His daughter goes to school here in Texas, in Austin.
- 26:14Speaker 2: And there it is.
- 26:14Speaker 1: There it is.
- 26:16Speaker 2: And Bob, who just became a grandfather. So they left
- 26:21Speaker 2: quite a legacy, those guys. And I really loved them.
- 26:24Speaker 2: And they would make me laugh. You know, I would
- 26:26Speaker 2: just set them up and they would go. And I
- 26:28Speaker 2: would laugh until.
- 26:28Speaker 1: I was dying laughing. Fucking Norm. What a legend.
- 26:32Speaker 2: The king.
- 26:33Speaker 1: Such a great guy, too.
- 26:36Speaker 2: He was so funny, too. And his clips, I don't
- 26:39Speaker 2: know if it's my algorithm or what, but you would
- 26:41Speaker 2: think Norm is making comedy content every day if you
- 26:44Speaker 2: looked at my algorithm.
- 26:45Speaker 1: Well, mine, too. I think a lot of people. People
- 26:48Speaker 1: just share them because he had so many funny things
- 26:50Speaker 1: to say about everything. And such a unique perspective. Just
- 26:54Speaker 1: an unusual state of mind. Canadians.
- 27:00Speaker 2: I have a theory that Canadians... I'm from New Jersey,
- 27:04Speaker 2: so I feel like New Jersey, I grew up as
- 27:06Speaker 2: an outsider to New York. We had a route for
- 27:09Speaker 2: New York sports teams. We had to listen to New
- 27:12Speaker 2: York radio stations as a kid, TV stations. And Canada
- 27:16Speaker 2: has that with America.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Right.
- 27:19Speaker 2: So I think they always feel like comedians feel like
- 27:21Speaker 2: outsiders a little bit. I feel like Canadians kind of
- 27:24Speaker 2: have that.
- 27:25Speaker 1: Harland, he's Canadian.
- 27:26Speaker 2: I mean, Canadian comedians, you could go all day.
- 27:29Speaker 1: Tom Green.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 27:31Speaker 1: Jim Carrey.
- 27:32Speaker 2: Jim Carrey.
- 27:33Speaker 1: A lot of Canadians.
- 27:34Speaker 2: Caroline Ray. And a lot more. John Candy, right?
- 27:41Speaker 1: Yeah. John Candy was a Canadian. Yeah.
- 27:44Speaker 2: Martin Short.
- 27:46Speaker 1: Was he? Is he? He is.
- 27:48Speaker 2: I think so.
- 27:49Speaker 1: He's still with us.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Those SCTV people.
- 27:51Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Martin Short is, he had a rough month. He lost
- 27:58Speaker 2: somebody very close to him, but he's still one of
- 28:01Speaker 2: the funniest people in the world.
- 28:03Speaker 1: Oh, he was brilliant. All those fucking crazy characters.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I was at a birthday party once.
- 28:10Speaker 2: It was like Paul Rudd's 50th birthday party years ago.
- 28:13Speaker 2: And I remember everybody was like, let's do karaoke. And
- 28:17Speaker 2: everybody wanted to start. Everybody was too shy to do
- 28:19Speaker 2: karaoke first. And Martin Short walked up to the mic,
- 28:23Speaker 2: belted out a Sinatra song, dropped the mic, and walked
- 28:27Speaker 2: out to the valet and left. Just kicked it off
- 28:30Speaker 2: and went. Fly me to the moon. And he was gone.
- 28:36Speaker 1: It's weird when you get older and you realize how
- 28:39Speaker 1: many guys have passed. Patrice comes up in my algorithm
- 28:43Speaker 1: all the time. And you just watch old clips. I
- 28:48Speaker 1: went on a binge a few months back of him
- 28:51Speaker 1: on Opie and Anthony. Yeah. Just fuck. Ruthless. He would
- 28:55Speaker 1: have been the number one podcast in the world if
- 28:58Speaker 1: he was alive today. Patrice? Yeah. If he had a podcast?
- 29:02Speaker 1: Because he probably would have. I mean, it's a perfect
- 29:04Speaker 1: normal transition from Opie and Anthony to podcasting. Right. He
- 29:08Speaker 1: would have probably had the best podcast in the world.
- 29:11Speaker 2: Except the guests would never get to talk at all.
- 29:13Speaker 1: Yeah, it wouldn't matter. He would be dressing them down.
- 29:16Speaker 2: Patrice's greatness at the Charlie Sheen roast I always talk
- 29:23Speaker 2: about is he went on last and he was like,
- 29:28Speaker 2: He was, we booked him late. He never wanted to
- 29:30Speaker 2: do a roast. And he said, I don't know this one.
- 29:33Speaker 2: I don't know that one. And finally I called him
- 29:35Speaker 2: one day. I go, we're roasting Charlie Sheen.
- 29:38Speaker 1: He goes, oh.
- 29:40Speaker 2: He goes, I don't know Charlie Sheen, but I think
- 29:42Speaker 2: I could do that. I go, you know him. You
- 29:44Speaker 2: don't know him, but you know. And he goes, all right,
- 29:49Speaker 2: I'm coming. He dresses total rock star, like a leather suit,
- 29:54Speaker 2: like this whole fantasy Patrice in his head. and then
- 29:59Speaker 2: the day of the show he's like complaining about his
- 30:01Speaker 2: material he's like I don't know all these writers they
- 30:03Speaker 2: don't know me this isn't me blah blah blah I
- 30:05Speaker 2: go Patrice fuck all that pay attention and roast the
- 30:09Speaker 2: roast just roast the roast make mental notes clock it
- 30:14Speaker 2: all let them see you taking it in and then
- 30:16Speaker 2: just go on and talk about what you just saw
- 30:18Speaker 2: and that's what he.
- 30:19Speaker 1: Did no it was brilliant did you see Charlie Sheen's
- 30:22Speaker 1: Netflix documentary I haven't it's fucking great man it's crazy
- 30:28Speaker 1: it's crazy Like, he talks about everything. He talks about
- 30:31Speaker 1: the first time he smoked crack. A girl was giving
- 30:33Speaker 1: him a blowjob when he smoked crack.
- 30:35Speaker 2: How else are you supposed to do it?
- 30:38Speaker 1: He said it's the best experience he's ever had. He
- 30:39Speaker 1: says he's never topped it. Wow. Yeah. Wow. Makes you
- 30:43Speaker 1: want to try it. Makes you, like, think, maybe. He
- 30:49Speaker 1: was a fascinating guest, too, having him in here. It's like,
- 30:52Speaker 1: that guy's been through so much shit, and he's okay.
- 30:57Speaker 1: You know, it's like, how is he alive?
- 31:00Speaker 2: Some people are just different, right? Tiger Blood? I was
- 31:03Speaker 2: on tour with him that whole time. That's right.
- 31:05Speaker 1: That's right. You were doing that thing with him. So
- 31:07Speaker 1: what happened was when he got kicked off of Two
- 31:10Speaker 1: and a Half Men and he went kind of kooky.
- 31:13Speaker 1: he decided to do this whirlwind tour. And the first
- 31:16Speaker 1: one he did, he tried to go and just wing it.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Torpedo of truth.
- 31:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 31:20Speaker 2: That's what he called it.
- 31:20Speaker 1: The winging it one did not work. No. But then
- 31:22Speaker 1: when he started doing it with you and he did
- 31:24Speaker 1: it with Russell, Russell Peters did a bunch of them
- 31:26Speaker 1: with him. With comics, it actually worked because like he
- 31:31Speaker 1: would have someone to bounce stuff off of and they
- 31:33Speaker 1: knew how to be entertaining and keep the flow going. Right. Yeah.
- 31:38Speaker 1: And then you got into those stories and it was amazing. Yeah.
- 31:42Speaker 1: It totally turned around.
- 31:43Speaker 2: The first one I did was in Atlantic City, and
- 31:46Speaker 2: he called me the night before. And I was in L.A.
- 31:52Speaker 2: at a party, and everyone was like, yeah, yeah, go
- 31:54Speaker 2: do it, go do it. So I caught a, like,
- 31:56Speaker 2: 6 a.m.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Flight. He called you the night before? What did he say?
- 31:59Speaker 2: He's like, my shows aren't going good. I didn't know him.
- 32:02Speaker 2: He goes, you know, like, all these different people keep
- 32:05Speaker 2: telling me, Simon Rex, you know, other friends of his
- 32:08Speaker 2: kept saying, Jeff Ross could come out and roast you
- 32:10Speaker 2: and save this. So I just wrote jokes all night,
- 32:14Speaker 2: you know, left the party, wrote jokes, caught a 6 a.m. flu.
- 32:17Speaker 2: I walk into his dressing room like an hour before.
- 32:20Speaker 2: Chuck Zito is literally staring me down going, don't be
- 32:23Speaker 2: too mean to my guy. You know, like they're just
- 32:25Speaker 2: trying to scare me. And I'm like, I'm here to
- 32:28Speaker 2: like– I'm a comedian, you know. And Charlie was really cool.
- 32:33Speaker 2: And I told his road manager. He goes, what do
- 32:36Speaker 2: you need? I go, I need– A podium to roll out.
- 32:40Speaker 2: Big arenas. I want to make it like a show.
- 32:43Speaker 2: And I need a hazmat suit. Because he'd been bombing
- 32:45Speaker 2: for like a week. Every single night. I heard there's
- 32:49Speaker 2: a bomb scare. I roll out. It's Jersey, so it's
- 32:52Speaker 2: my crowd. And I just start roasting him. And it
- 32:55Speaker 2: went well. And I was like, if you're winning. Because
- 32:58Speaker 2: he's always like, winning, winning. I'm like, if you're winning,
- 33:00Speaker 2: something's wrong with the fucking scoreboard.
- 33:02Speaker 1: Yeah. Old Jeff with hair, duh, winning. Look at that. Boy,
- 33:10Speaker 1: he looks so skinny. That's a look of a guy
- 33:14Speaker 1: who does coke. Look how ripped he is. Jesus.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Oh, man. He was up all night. He was like.
- 33:22Speaker 1: So he was still partying hard back then.
- 33:24Speaker 2: You know, it's hard to say.
- 33:25Speaker 1: Had to be.
- 33:27Speaker 2: He didn't let me see that side of it.
- 33:28Speaker 1: I'm sure he was. There's no chance he was clean.
- 33:31Speaker 2: Warlock.
- 33:33Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. He was a warlock. A warlock with
- 33:35Speaker 1: tiger blood. Right. Violent Torpedo of Truth tour kicks off
- 33:40Speaker 1: in Detroit. TV star is booed offstage.
- 33:42Speaker 2: Yeah. So then after that, they kept calling and going,
- 33:47Speaker 2: can you do this date? Can you do that date?
- 33:49Speaker 2: It was like more money than I'd ever made for
- 33:51Speaker 2: a one-nighter. So I just started getting on the bus
- 33:54Speaker 2: and the plane with them.
- 33:55Speaker 1: How many dates did you guys do?
- 33:57Speaker 2: I wound up doing eight.
- 33:59Speaker 1: And Russell, how many did he do? I don't know.
- 34:01Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 34:02Speaker 1: So he just had different comics. Who else did it?
- 34:04Speaker 2: I don't remember anyone else but me. So that's news
- 34:06Speaker 2: to me that Russell did it.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Yeah, Russell did a few. At least one I know of.
- 34:10Speaker 2: There might have been some in Canada I didn't do.
- 34:12Speaker 1: Well, Russell's really good off the cuff. Russell's great work
- 34:15Speaker 1: in the crowd.
- 34:16Speaker 2: I think Russell interviewed him. I think Russell, like you said.
- 34:21Speaker 1: That's how he did it?
- 34:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's how he did it. Because now
- 34:23Speaker 2: it occurs to me that he had interviewers. on some
- 34:26Speaker 2: of them. And I, and he had a radio guy
- 34:28Speaker 2: and I think maybe Russell might've done a Canadian.
- 34:30Speaker 1: That's a smart way to do it. Have someone who's
- 34:33Speaker 1: smart and quick just interview, because the stories are so bananas. Yeah.
- 34:38Speaker 1: All you need is the stories. Just, and he was
- 34:40Speaker 1: so open about stuff, talking about how much crack he
- 34:43Speaker 1: would smoke and, you know, it was just so insane.
- 34:46Speaker 1: And everybody was so happy that someone was, instead of
- 34:50Speaker 1: hiding from the fact that they fucked their life up,
- 34:53Speaker 1: They were like celebrating that they were off the rails.
- 34:56Speaker 1: And everyone was like, tiger blood. I remember even Diego Sanchez,
- 35:01Speaker 1: who was fighting in the UFC, was saying he had
- 35:03Speaker 1: tiger blood. That's how popular it was getting.
- 35:08Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a thing.
- 35:11Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a thing. But it was a new thing, right?
- 35:13Speaker 1: It was a movie star who had gone off the
- 35:16Speaker 1: rails and was like celebrating it and being open and
- 35:19Speaker 1: honest in interviews about it. prostitutes, cocaine, chaos, everything, all
- 35:25Speaker 1: the above. It was a totally new experience for the
- 35:28Speaker 1: general public, because before, if someone had an addiction problem,
- 35:32Speaker 1: it was like, oh, so sad. He was doing coke,
- 35:35Speaker 1: and my life had fallen apart, and then I found Jesus.
- 35:39Speaker 1: It was always one of those things.
- 35:40Speaker 2: He wasn't on an apology tour. He went on a
- 35:42Speaker 2: fuck you tour.
- 35:44Speaker 1: Yeah, 100%. And no one had ever done that before.
- 35:47Speaker 1: No one had ever done a fuck you tour before.
- 35:50Speaker 1: I mean, it was a little ill-advised, the first ones,
- 35:53Speaker 1: you know, when he went on by himself. Like, that
- 35:54Speaker 1: was a terrible idea. Right. You can't just wing it.
- 35:57Speaker 1: And when you're on Coke, you think you could do anything,
- 36:00Speaker 1: you know?
- 36:00Speaker 2: Or he would take questions, but there's 15,000 people yelling
- 36:04Speaker 2: at him.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Right. If you're going to take questions, it would have
- 36:06Speaker 1: to be a person who's a moderator. Right. Who has
- 36:10Speaker 1: a microphone and talks to another person and is there
- 36:14Speaker 1: so they can keep it from going off the rails
- 36:15Speaker 1: and a line of people. You can't just have people
- 36:18Speaker 1: yelling out things in the audience.
- 36:20Speaker 2: One night somebody wanted his money back, and he brought
- 36:23Speaker 2: the guy up and gave him his money back. And then,
- 36:26Speaker 2: of course, like 400 people stood up like, I want
- 36:28Speaker 2: my money back.
- 36:31Speaker 1: Oh, no.
- 36:31Speaker 2: He would hear the audience too much.
- 36:33Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, no experience with that kind of stuff. Right.
- 36:36Speaker 1: If you think you could just do live audience and
- 36:39Speaker 1: deal with 15,000 people's different personalities, then you don't know
- 36:43Speaker 1: what that's like. Right. Good luck.
- 36:46Speaker 2: We wound up doing eight shows, and I would always
- 36:48Speaker 2: roast him. So by the eighth show, I had 20
- 36:50Speaker 2: minutes of Charlie Sheen material. Every city, I'd add jokes.
- 36:54Speaker 2: So that's when I was like, why don't we just
- 36:56Speaker 2: do this on TV? I mean, we have the roast,
- 36:58Speaker 2: and then we did the Comedy Central roast.
- 37:00Speaker 1: Nice.
- 37:01Speaker 2: Patrice and all that. And Mike Tyson was at that one.
- 37:04Speaker 1: It's a really interesting career arc. Well, if you know
- 37:07Speaker 1: his story, he was on the set of Apocalypse Now
- 37:10Speaker 1: with his father when he was 10. Right. And then
- 37:13Speaker 1: 10 years later, He was doing, what was the fucking movie?
- 37:19Speaker 1: His fucking big war movie. Jesus Christ. Platoon. Platoon. He
- 37:23Speaker 1: was doing Platoon when he was 20. Yeah. Which is nuts.
- 37:26Speaker 1: Ten years later. Yeah. I mean, he's doing the next
- 37:29Speaker 1: iconic war movie. Right. And he's a 20-year-old kid, and
- 37:33Speaker 1: then all of a sudden he's a fucking superstar. Right.
- 37:37Speaker 2: He was great in that movie.
- 37:38Speaker 1: And he's just off the rails. Just like no restrictions.
- 37:42Speaker 1: He's rich. He's young. He's handsome. He's handsome. He's just
- 37:44Speaker 1: going crazy, doing drugs. But he made it through it all.
- 37:49Speaker 1: That's what's nuts.
- 37:50Speaker 2: I got to check that doc out.
- 37:51Speaker 1: It's great. He's a great interview, too. Like, having him
- 37:55Speaker 1: on the podcast was fucking great. He's a really nice guy.
- 37:59Speaker 1: He's very cool and honest about it all. Oh, yeah.
- 38:02Speaker 1: You know, and he's also like, hey, you know, I
- 38:03Speaker 1: can still act. Like, how about I've fucking paid my dues.
- 38:07Speaker 1: I've been sober for seven years. Like, give me a shot. Yeah.
- 38:10Speaker 1: He can still act.
- 38:12Speaker 2: He's a good actor.
- 38:13Speaker 1: I hope someone does do something like that. Because I
- 38:15Speaker 1: feel like if one big movie came along, like maybe
- 38:19Speaker 1: Tarantino could put him in because he's the master of
- 38:21Speaker 1: reviving careers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What he did with Travolta
- 38:24Speaker 1: and Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction, like Travolta was dead on
- 38:28Speaker 1: the operating table in his career before Pulp Fiction. Pulp
- 38:32Speaker 1: Fiction came along and boom, he's back. Because they realized like,
- 38:35Speaker 1: oh shit, John Travolta can fucking act. And that role
- 38:40Speaker 1: was perfect for him. Vince, he played this crazy hit
- 38:43Speaker 1: man with Samuel Jackson.
- 38:45Speaker 2: The best.
- 38:45Speaker 1: Fucking, what a movie.
- 38:47Speaker 2: I watch it all the time.
- 38:48Speaker 1: Yeah, it completely revived his career. Yeah, he's the, like,
- 38:53Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino is like the master of seeing things that
- 38:56Speaker 1: other people don't see. You know, he's like, that guy's
- 38:58Speaker 1: still great. Yeah. And I think that's like the case
- 39:01Speaker 1: with Charlie. Like, someone's got to come along and see
- 39:04Speaker 1: and just go, I just need to get him a role.
- 39:07Speaker 1: Where he just can really sink his teeth into it
- 39:10Speaker 1: and he'll fucking kill it. Especially now at this stage
- 39:14Speaker 1: of his life where he knows how important it is.
- 39:16Speaker 1: He'll throw himself into it. Right. It'd be fucking amazing.
- 39:19Speaker 2: Well, like some people don't act for a long time.
- 39:23Speaker 2: And then look what Sean Penn just did. And he
- 39:25Speaker 2: came back after God knows how long and just did
- 39:27Speaker 2: this totally iconic, unrecognizable. strange character.
- 39:32Speaker 1: I didn't see that movie. I've heard all these mixed reviews. Whatever.
- 39:35Speaker 2: It's interesting to see Sean's take on this soldier.
- 39:40Speaker 1: Look, Sean Penn's out of his fucking mind, but that's
- 39:43Speaker 1: the kind of guy that makes a great actor. He's
- 39:45Speaker 1: a great actor.
- 39:46Speaker 2: Ditch the Oscars to go see.
- 39:48Speaker 1: Yeah, go to Ukraine.
- 39:49Speaker 2: It's so cool.
- 39:49Speaker 1: Go hang out. Go hang out with my boy Zelinsky
- 39:51Speaker 1: and do coke. Do that pure Russian coke.
- 39:58Speaker 2: I like how you think that's what they were doing.
- 40:01Speaker 1: I'm just guessing. I'm just taking a wild guess. But
- 40:04Speaker 1: that guy, I mean, how about him? Like, goes and
- 40:08Speaker 1: fucking meets the drug lord. What's his name? What's wrong
- 40:10Speaker 1: with my brain today, Jamie? What the fuck's his name?
- 40:14Speaker 1: The dude he met in Mexico. The guy who got arrested.
- 40:16Speaker 1: El Chapo. El Chapo. Thank you. went down and met
- 40:19Speaker 1: El Chapo and that's how El Chapo wound up getting arrested. Right.
- 40:23Speaker 1: He wanted to meet Sean Penn. Sean Penn's like, all right,
- 40:25Speaker 1: I'll go meet. He wrote an article for like Rolling Stone.
- 40:27Speaker 1: He like was a journalist. Right. I remember. I mean
- 40:30Speaker 1: like who, what fucking movie star goes down and meets
- 40:34Speaker 1: El Chapo? By the way, that shirt, Conor McGregor bought
- 40:41Speaker 1: a shirt that's like exactly like that shirt and recreated
- 40:45Speaker 1: that pose with, I forget who he shook hands with,
- 40:49Speaker 1: but it was like this funny inside joke that a
- 40:52Speaker 1: lot of people didn't catch. It's like, why is he
- 40:54Speaker 1: wearing that shirt? And people realize, oh, my God, he's
- 40:56Speaker 1: wearing the El Chapo shirt. Oh, my God. He bought
- 41:01Speaker 1: a similar shirt. He's like literally doing that.
- 41:04Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
- 41:05Speaker 1: So silly. He dressed as gangster El Chapo. He's literally
- 41:08Speaker 1: doing the thing. But he did it on purpose. Nuts.
- 41:15Speaker 1: I mean, it takes insane balls. To be a world
- 41:18Speaker 1: famous actor and decide I'm going to go meet a
- 41:22Speaker 1: drug lord in Mexico and write an article for Rolling Stone.
- 41:27Speaker 2: He's an adventurer.
- 41:28Speaker 1: I guess.
- 41:29Speaker 2: Acting's a part of him, not all of him.
- 41:31Speaker 1: I mean, he must be. I mean, he's in fucking Ukraine. Like,
- 41:34Speaker 1: what does he do?
- 41:34Speaker 2: I remember being at a party, Eddie Vedder's birthday party,
- 41:37Speaker 2: and Sean Penn walked in with Stormy Daniels. Like, he
- 41:40Speaker 2: has friends from the most diverse places.
- 41:44Speaker 1: That's funny.
- 41:45Speaker 2: Zelensky, Stormy.
- 41:48Speaker 1: Have you seen Kyle Dunnigan's face swap things with Trump
- 41:51Speaker 1: and Stormy Daniels?
- 41:52Speaker 2: So funny.
- 41:53Speaker 1: Oh, my God. They're so funny.
- 41:54Speaker 2: So funny.
- 41:55Speaker 1: Kyle Dunnigan. He's another guy that got revived by Kill
- 41:58Speaker 1: Tony or really got the world got to see him.
- 42:03Speaker 1: We covered his face swap videos a bunch of times
- 42:06Speaker 1: on the podcast and blew them up. But to see
- 42:09Speaker 1: him as these characters, like when he plays RFK Jr.,
- 42:13Speaker 1: when he plays Elon– Like, that is what really kicked
- 42:17Speaker 1: off Kyle's career. You know?
- 42:19Speaker 2: Dude, his RFK is so fun.
- 42:22Speaker 1: His Elon's so good.
- 42:23Speaker 2: That's when he first started doing the face swap. This
- 42:27Speaker 2: is the best. My text chain's always sharing his stuff.
- 42:30Speaker 1: His Bill Maher. His Bill Maher's amazing. You know, I
- 42:33Speaker 1: try to play.
- 42:33Speaker 2: Because his jokes are funny about it.
- 42:35Speaker 1: I try to play the Bill Maher impression with Bill
- 42:37Speaker 1: Maher when he's in here. He goes, if you play it,
- 42:39Speaker 1: I'll leave. Why does he care? I don't... Because he
- 42:42Speaker 1: doesn't hang out with comics enough. He's out there doing
- 42:46Speaker 1: his show, hanging out with political people, being all serious.
- 42:49Speaker 1: It's like you kind of forget.
- 42:50Speaker 2: He just wants to be a, what do you call it,
- 42:52Speaker 2: a contrarian. I was on his podcast and like he literally,
- 42:57Speaker 2: he just wanted to fight about anything. I go, the
- 43:00Speaker 2: Ramones are great. He's like, no, they're not. I'm like,
- 43:06Speaker 2: all right.
- 43:06Speaker 1: Rock and roll high school is not great? Come on, son.
- 43:09Speaker 1: The look, the crazy hair. All of it.
- 43:11Speaker 2: The Ramones is one of the greatest.
- 43:12Speaker 1: The Ramones ruled. They were ruled.
- 43:15Speaker 2: Never had a song over two minutes and five seconds.
- 43:17Speaker 1: How can you say they're not great?
- 43:19Speaker 2: It's nice to go see them in college, man.
- 43:21Speaker 1: You don't have to like it. You got to admit,
- 43:25Speaker 1: there's a reason why people love them. Right. Yeah. You
- 43:29Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? Yeah, man. People are so weird
- 43:32Speaker 1: when they want to say something sucks. Like I was
- 43:34Speaker 1: having an argument with someone. There's like Taylor Swift's all
- 43:37Speaker 1: dumb music. I go, no, it's not. It's not. She's
- 43:40Speaker 1: got some great songs. No Body, No Crime, a great
- 43:43Speaker 1: fucking song. She's got great songs.
- 43:44Speaker 2: By the way, I respect anybody who writes their own
- 43:46Speaker 2: music and produces their own music.
- 43:48Speaker 1: Also, it's like, do you think you're smarter than everybody
- 43:51Speaker 1: who loves her? Like, she's literally got more fans than
- 43:54Speaker 1: anybody alive, and you think they're all wrong? That's kind
- 43:57Speaker 1: of crazy. Like, you don't have to like it. You
- 44:00Speaker 1: don't have to like it. But there's, like, people have
- 44:03Speaker 1: closed minds.
- 44:05Speaker 2: I met her at an Oscars party last weekend, and
- 44:07Speaker 2: she introduced herself.
- 44:08Speaker 1: I was talking to Travis. Is she cool?
- 44:10Speaker 2: I was talking to Travis for a few minutes, and
- 44:12Speaker 2: she said, hi, I'm Taylor. I was a little starstruck because,
- 44:16Speaker 2: I don't know, musicians are the last thing for me.
- 44:19Speaker 2: I really respect. And she was super cool, man. She
- 44:22Speaker 2: was really cool, actually. And I told her that I
- 44:24Speaker 2: went to her era show.
- 44:26Speaker 1: Did you really?
- 44:26Speaker 2: She said she watches the roasts.
- 44:29Speaker 1: Oh, that's funny.
- 44:30Speaker 2: It was pretty cool, actually.
- 44:31Speaker 1: That's awesome.
- 44:32Speaker 2: I wonder when they make love if they wear helmets.
- 44:34Speaker 1: Those two. Why do you think they wear helmets?
- 44:37Speaker 2: Just saying. It's got to be wild.
- 44:39Speaker 1: You think it is?
- 44:40Speaker 2: Travis and Taylor.
- 44:41Speaker 1: I mean, it's all sweet and passionate. Maybe.
- 44:43Speaker 2: I hope so.
- 44:44Speaker 1: That's what I think.
- 44:46Speaker 2: You have your fantasies. I have mine.
- 44:50Speaker 1: Shoulder pads, cleats. Yeah. Going for it on AstroTurf.
- 44:54Speaker 2: He's a nice guy.
- 44:55Speaker 1: Is he?
- 44:55Speaker 2: Has he been in here?
- 44:56Speaker 1: No, never met him.
- 44:57Speaker 2: He'd be a good.
- 44:57Speaker 1: Good dude? Yeah. It's interesting when people are public, like
- 45:03Speaker 1: a public relationship like that, two super famous people. It's like,
- 45:07Speaker 1: that's a lot of pressure. And then you're putting it
- 45:09Speaker 1: all out there in the world and like everybody's judging you.
- 45:13Speaker 1: It's hard enough to keep a relationship together. But keep
- 45:15Speaker 1: a relationship together when you have to field everyone's opinions
- 45:18Speaker 1: of you. Especially like Taylor Swift because how many fucking
- 45:21Speaker 1: songs does she have about ex-boyfriends? Right. It's like, jeez.
- 45:25Speaker 1: If you break up with her, the fucking diss track
- 45:27Speaker 1: of the universe is coming your way.
- 45:30Speaker 2: Yeah, right. Kendrick Drake. Fuck that. Just don't break up
- 45:33Speaker 2: with Taylor.
- 45:34Speaker 1: Exactly. Yeah. But it's just like. You're doing it in
- 45:37Speaker 1: front of the world, and you're inviting all of the
- 45:40Speaker 1: shittiest people in the world to have their opinions about you.
- 45:42Speaker 1: It's like, blech. It's a lot of pressure.
- 45:45Speaker 2: Look at freaking Timberlake this weekend. That really pissed me off.
- 45:48Speaker 1: What happened?
- 45:48Speaker 2: They released a two- or three-year-old video of him getting
- 45:52Speaker 2: a DUI.
- 45:53Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, I did see that.
- 45:54Speaker 2: Why does that need to be out there? How is that.
- 45:57Speaker 1: A legal thing to take a video of someone being arrested?
- 46:03Speaker 1: Why is that? Because he's a public figure? Why is that?
- 46:06Speaker 1: Why isn't that private? I don't understand. And there was
- 46:09Speaker 1: nothing outrageous about it.
- 46:10Speaker 2: They're just hassling this guy and bringing up old news.
- 46:14Speaker 2: It really bugged me.
- 46:15Speaker 1: I mean, there was nothing outrageous about it. I mean,
- 46:17Speaker 1: he was very calm and relaxed. And, you know, they
- 46:20Speaker 1: arrested him for DUI. You know, they asked him a
- 46:23Speaker 1: few questions. There was nothing about it that was, you know, like, oh,
- 46:27Speaker 1: look at Justin Timberlake. He's off the rails. He's acting crazy.
- 46:31Speaker 1: It was like he had a few drinks, probably shit
- 46:33Speaker 1: in a drove. Drove, got caught. That's it. Right.
- 46:38Speaker 2: It happens to a lot of people.
- 46:39Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 46:39Speaker 2: And whatever, just because he's famous or whatever.
- 46:41Speaker 1: He wasn't acting like an asshole. He didn't do anything terrible. And,
- 46:45Speaker 1: you know, and everybody wants like, oh, look at him.
- 46:48Speaker 1: He got caught. Right. You have so much money and
- 46:50Speaker 1: you still got caught. Right. You know, obviously get a driver, dude.
- 46:55Speaker 1: You know, you got to get drunk. Right. It's not
- 46:57Speaker 1: that hard.
- 46:57Speaker 2: He was tooling around the Hamptons. They thought he was fine.
- 46:59Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably it, right? That's where all the rich
- 47:02Speaker 1: people drink and drive. Yeah.
- 47:05Speaker 2: I don't get having to torture somebody by releasing the video.
- 47:08Speaker 1: Well, I mean, all he has to do is just
- 47:10Speaker 1: not be online for a few days and it'll go away.
- 47:14Speaker 1: But it's like, why is it okay to release that?
- 47:17Speaker 1: Why is that a public record thing? Unless there's like some,
- 47:21Speaker 1: even if there's a case, that should be something that
- 47:24Speaker 1: gets released in court.
- 47:25Speaker 2: No, they release it as a public information.
- 47:28Speaker 1: What? Right. Why?
- 47:30Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 47:30Speaker 1: Why? Because he sings?
- 47:31Speaker 2: Because we live in a cruel fucking world. That's why.
- 47:33Speaker 1: Yeah. We live in a place where people enjoy cruelty. Well,
- 47:39Speaker 1: it's like you look at him, you know, he's like
- 47:41Speaker 1: super famous, married to, what's her name? Who's he married to?
- 47:45Speaker 1: Jessica Biel. Beautiful woman. Yeah. Right? He's got this perfect life.
- 47:49Speaker 1: He's rich. He's famous. He can dance. He can sing.
- 47:51Speaker 1: He's tall. He's handsome. He's a star when he was young.
- 47:55Speaker 1: Fuck that guy. You know, that's how everybody is. Like, oh, look,
- 47:57Speaker 1: he was drunk. Yeah, yeah. Bitch, you've been drunk before, too.
- 48:00Speaker 1: Shut the fuck up. Right. And if you haven't, fuck you. Yeah.
- 48:03Speaker 1: If you've never been drunk, fuck you. Unless, like, your
- 48:06Speaker 1: dad was an alcoholic and, you know, understanding circumstances. But
- 48:11Speaker 1: it's like, why is that something that people are into?
- 48:14Speaker 1: I saw it. It came across my news feed, and
- 48:18Speaker 1: I looked at it for a few seconds. I was like,
- 48:19Speaker 1: there's something outrageous about this. Did you see Alan Richman, though? No.
- 48:23Speaker 1: The guy who plays Reacher? He beat the fuck out
- 48:26Speaker 1: of some guy in front of some kids today? Yeah.
- 48:30Speaker 1: Or yesterday? It was crazy. That guy's a giant dude.
- 48:35Speaker 1: You know that show Reacher?
- 48:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard of it.
- 48:37Speaker 1: He's fucking huge and jacked, and he was riding dirt bikes,
- 48:41Speaker 1: and he got in some altercation with his neighbor, and
- 48:43Speaker 1: someone filmed it. And, you know, he's this hulking guy,
- 48:47Speaker 1: and I don't know what the circumstances were. Maybe the
- 48:50Speaker 1: guy deserved it. Maybe the guy was a piece of shit.
- 48:52Speaker 1: Maybe the guy came after him first. But all you
- 48:55Speaker 1: see in the video is him beating this guy up, and,
- 48:58Speaker 1: you know, he's fucking this guy. Tank of a man.
- 49:01Speaker 1: He's huge. He's like 250 pounds. And he's beating some
- 49:05Speaker 1: guy's ass, and then he gets back on his motorcycle,
- 49:07Speaker 1: and he's doing it in front of kids, too, which
- 49:10Speaker 1: is kind of crazy. Violence. Well, it's also, it's like,
- 49:13Speaker 1: why you, I don't know what happened, so I don't
- 49:16Speaker 1: really want to comment on the extenuating circumstances. According to TMZ.
- 49:21Speaker 1: Right Oh the guy pushed him off the bike, okay Well,
- 49:28Speaker 1: then that guy's just trying to get it. You want
- 49:29Speaker 1: to see the video? Let's watch the video. So watch
- 49:32Speaker 1: the video like So this is after here to beat
- 49:35Speaker 1: the guy's ass I'm not going to show it. So
- 49:41Speaker 1: he's punching the dude. The other guy's a big guy, too.
- 49:47Speaker 1: He might have just had a dicky neighbor. Boy, neighbors and, like,
- 49:50Speaker 1: especially if you've got a homeowner's association, they're some fucking shitheads.
- 49:55Speaker 1: So this guy, so if the guy pushed him off
- 49:58Speaker 1: the bike, I kind of understand. The guy pushed him
- 50:02Speaker 1: off the bike. He's lucky. That's all he did to him.
- 50:04Speaker 2: This could be eight-year-olds.
- 50:06Speaker 1: Yeah, those little kids.
- 50:07Speaker 2: You can replace this with tricycles.
- 50:08Speaker 1: But those little kids that are there, too, and he's
- 50:10Speaker 1: yelling at them and pointing at them. But if you
- 50:13Speaker 1: really did push him off the bike, that guy's a
- 50:16Speaker 1: piece of shit. And he's lucky. And look, he's an idiot.
- 50:19Speaker 1: Because even after he beat his ass, he's still getting
- 50:22Speaker 1: in his face. And he's still talking shit. Okay. Well,
- 50:28Speaker 1: that's a different story. Well, that's good. That's good to know. Yeah,
- 50:31Speaker 1: fuck that guy. Yeah. Don't push someone off a bike.
- 50:33Speaker 1: And it's like, because the dirt bikes were loud and
- 50:36Speaker 1: they were in the neighborhood. Turn your TV up. Shut
- 50:38Speaker 1: the fuck up. People are just so into everybody's business.
- 50:41Speaker 1: I've watched so many videos of homeowners associations yelling at
- 50:45Speaker 1: people for doing whatever. Parking an old car in your driveway.
- 50:51Speaker 1: People always love to tell people what they can and
- 50:54Speaker 1: can't do. I've had homeowners associations before. I don't know
- 50:57Speaker 1: if you've ever dealt with that. It is a fucking nightmare.
- 51:01Speaker 1: You have to sit down and talk to these dorks
- 51:04Speaker 1: who tell you what you should and shouldn't do with
- 51:06Speaker 1: your fence. Yeah.
- 51:08Speaker 2: How high are your hedges?
- 51:09Speaker 1: Dude, I had a situation once where there was all
- 51:11Speaker 1: these wrought iron fences in my neighborhood. And I repaired
- 51:15Speaker 1: my fence and I replaced it with a different wrought
- 51:17Speaker 1: iron fence. And they said, you can't have wrought iron fences.
- 51:20Speaker 1: We have a new rule. It has to be a
- 51:22Speaker 1: questering fence. I said, but there's no consistency. I said,
- 51:24Speaker 1: the entire neighborhood has wrought iron fences. They said, it
- 51:27Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I said, well, let's go to court. I go,
- 51:30Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck. I go, I'll sue you.
- 51:32Speaker 1: I go, I have money. I go, let's go to court.
- 51:34Speaker 1: I go, I'm not taking my fucking fence down. And
- 51:36Speaker 1: they're like, you're going to take your fence down. I go,
- 51:38Speaker 1: you're not going to tell me anything. You're not going
- 51:41Speaker 1: to tell me what to do. Just because I go,
- 51:44Speaker 1: it looks great. It's not like it's a blight on
- 51:46Speaker 1: the neighborhood. The house is beautiful. Shut the fuck up.
- 51:50Speaker 1: And eventually I won.
- 51:51Speaker 2: Did you have to sue?
- 51:53Speaker 1: Well, I threatened to sue and they backed off because
- 51:55Speaker 1: they were afraid of suing. They were afraid of lawsuits
- 51:56Speaker 1: because then they would have to use the homeowners association
- 51:59Speaker 1: funds to do this. And it didn't make any sense.
- 52:02Speaker 1: I talked to a lawyer about it. I said, does
- 52:04Speaker 1: this make any sense? He goes, no, there's a precedent
- 52:05Speaker 1: in the neighborhood. Like every third house had wrought iron fencing.
- 52:10Speaker 1: And it wasn't like it wasn't good looking. Like it
- 52:13Speaker 1: was beautiful. It was new. It was clean. I had
- 52:15Speaker 1: a reputable company build it. There's nothing wrong with it.
- 52:18Speaker 1: And I was replacing wrought iron fence with more wrought
- 52:21Speaker 1: iron fence. It was just better. It was like the
- 52:22Speaker 1: fence was broken. It looked shitty. It was like, you know,
- 52:25Speaker 1: they get rusty where they connect and I had to
- 52:27Speaker 1: get it replaced.
- 52:28Speaker 2: So what on earth was their problem?
- 52:29Speaker 1: Just cunts, cunts. This is how cunty they are. I
- 52:32Speaker 1: had a neighbor who lived across the street. He told
- 52:36Speaker 1: me that I had to trim my trees and thin
- 52:40Speaker 1: them out so that he could see the view in
- 52:43Speaker 1: the distance. And I said, what are you talking about?
- 52:46Speaker 1: And he said, we have a regulation that says you
- 52:49Speaker 1: can't obstruct the view. I go, these trees have been
- 52:53Speaker 1: here for 50 years. And then I talked to the
- 52:55Speaker 1: guy who sold me the house. He's like, that asshole
- 52:57Speaker 1: was trying to do that with me too. Just tell
- 52:59Speaker 1: him to fuck himself. He's just a weird guy. He
- 53:01Speaker 1: built an observation deck at the top of his hill
- 53:04Speaker 1: in his backyard so he could see like the lights
- 53:06Speaker 1: of the city in the distance. And he wanted you
- 53:09Speaker 1: to cut your trees down so you're obstructing the view.
- 53:12Speaker 1: I go, your house is obstructing my view of this hill.
- 53:16Speaker 1: I like to look at hills. Is that what we're
- 53:18Speaker 1: going to do? Take your house down. You take your
- 53:20Speaker 1: house down. I'll trim these trees. Fuck you, man.
- 53:22Speaker 2: Tell him to lift his house up.
- 53:24Speaker 1: He's like, oh, so it's going to be like that.
- 53:25Speaker 1: I go, going to be like what? You want me
- 53:27Speaker 1: to cut trees down so you can see? You don't
- 53:29Speaker 1: have a view, man. You're not on the edge of
- 53:32Speaker 1: the hill. You're back set. This is what the view
- 53:35Speaker 1: looks like from where you are. This house has been
- 53:38Speaker 1: here before your house was there. Go eat shit.
- 53:41Speaker 2: You could have asked nice and maybe you would have
- 53:43Speaker 2: done something.
- 53:43Speaker 1: I wouldn't have done a fucking thing. It didn't make
- 53:46Speaker 1: any sense. It's just people want to tell people what
- 53:49Speaker 1: to do. Like I was reading this article where this
- 53:51Speaker 1: homeowners association hired a tow company to go around the
- 53:56Speaker 1: neighborhood and tow all the cars that had expired tags.
- 54:00Speaker 1: Can you imagine? Like your tag's expired. Like, ah, fuck,
- 54:03Speaker 1: I'll get to it. I'm busy. I'll get to it
- 54:06Speaker 1: next week. You know, you just run it around. And
- 54:08Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they tow your car. Like,
- 54:11Speaker 1: fuck you, man. Like, fuck you. It's just people love
- 54:15Speaker 1: to tell other people what to do. And homeowners associations,
- 54:19Speaker 1: when they get power, they become like the little hall
- 54:21Speaker 1: monitors of the neighborhood. You know, your grass is unruly.
- 54:27Speaker 1: It's supposed to be two inches. It's four. Like, ugh.
- 54:31Speaker 1: Just people. People love to do that. They love to
- 54:34Speaker 1: tell people what to do and what not to do.
- 54:37Speaker 2: I have one neighbor who kind of runs the whole block.
- 54:40Speaker 2: And she puts everyone on an email chain and she's pretty,
- 54:44Speaker 2: she leads with love, but she looks out for everybody.
- 54:47Speaker 1: Well, as long as I'm looking out, it's not bad.
- 54:49Speaker 1: It's just like nonsense. Like the guy wanted me to
- 54:52Speaker 1: trim the trees. He wanted me to thin out my tree.
- 54:55Speaker 1: You want me to chop the trees down? He goes, no,
- 54:57Speaker 1: I just want you to thin them out. You can
- 54:58Speaker 1: thin them out. I go, what? What are you talking about?
- 55:01Speaker 1: Chop all the leaves off so that you could see
- 55:04Speaker 1: lights in the distance. It was like the dumbest conversation.
- 55:08Speaker 1: And he realized while we're in the middle of the
- 55:10Speaker 1: conversation how dumb this is. Right. And then we never
- 55:12Speaker 1: talked again. And I would see him occasionally.
- 55:15Speaker 2: Isn't there a safety issue with trimming your trees, like
- 55:17Speaker 2: thinning them out? Fire?
- 55:20Speaker 1: Well, I mean, where we were, there was, the real
- 55:23Speaker 1: issue is brush. The real issue is the ground. You know,
- 55:27Speaker 1: dried brush on the ground. We were evacuated from where
- 55:30Speaker 1: I live three times from fires.
- 55:33Speaker 2: Down here?
- 55:34Speaker 1: No, this is in California. Yeah, yeah. And when I
- 55:36Speaker 1: lived in California, the last big fire in 2018, we
- 55:40Speaker 1: lost three houses in front of our house. And my
- 55:43Speaker 1: neighbor's house caught on fire. But I had one, my
- 55:46Speaker 1: crazy friend Bud would not leave the neighborhood. They evacuated
- 55:49Speaker 1: the whole neighborhood. He wouldn't leave. He's like, I'm staying.
- 55:52Speaker 1: I'm staying. I'm going to save my house. I'm going
- 55:53Speaker 1: to save other people's houses. And he fucking did. He
- 55:56Speaker 1: saved his house. He saved my neighbor's house. He checked
- 56:00Speaker 1: my neighbor's house. My roof, the roof is on fire.
- 56:02Speaker 1: He got water on it. He called the fire department.
- 56:04Speaker 1: There was fire departments that were like trying to put
- 56:06Speaker 1: out fires in the neighborhood the moment they started. And
- 56:09Speaker 1: they hosed his roof down because embers will fly and
- 56:13Speaker 1: they land.
- 56:14Speaker 2: I had it in L.A. and had to evacuate for
- 56:16Speaker 2: one day.
- 56:17Speaker 1: It's spooky, man. The fires in California are no joke, man.
- 56:22Speaker 1: It's really weird to see when it happens because you
- 56:25Speaker 1: realize like how nature is completely in control when that happens.
- 56:29Speaker 1: Just this storm of flames that comes over the hills.
- 56:33Speaker 1: It's wild. It's wild and it cannot be controlled. And
- 56:37Speaker 1: once it starts, it's just a matter of trying to
- 56:39Speaker 1: contain it. And a certain amount of houses are just
- 56:40Speaker 1: going to go no matter what, depending on which way
- 56:43Speaker 1: the wind blows. But that wasn't what the problem was.
- 56:47Speaker 1: This guy was just a cunt. It's a homeowners association thing.
- 56:54Speaker 1: It's just like people that think they– There was a,
- 56:58Speaker 1: I'm still a part of this email group that, you know,
- 57:01Speaker 1: I'm still on the email of the Homeowner Association. One
- 57:03Speaker 1: of the guys poisoned one of the people in the
- 57:07Speaker 1: Homeowner Association's dogs. Yeah. Like they got in some sort
- 57:12Speaker 1: of a dispute about something. This guy poisoned his fucking dogs.
- 57:16Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah.
- 57:17Speaker 1: Evil cocksucker. Wow. But it's like that kind of thing.
- 57:21Speaker 1: It's these people that just want to control their neighbors, man.
- 57:24Speaker 1: It's so weird. Like one of my neighbors.
- 57:26Speaker 2: What's the punishment for that?
- 57:28Speaker 1: He should be shot. You fucking piece of shit. That's
- 57:31Speaker 1: like killing a family member.
- 57:33Speaker 2: You should have to eat whatever he gave those dogs.
- 57:35Speaker 1: You should go to jail for sure. I don't know
- 57:37Speaker 1: what happened. I don't know if they caught the guy.
- 57:39Speaker 1: I don't think they know exactly who did it. They
- 57:42Speaker 1: had no video evidence. The person who lived there apparently
- 57:46Speaker 1: didn't have good security cameras. But it's so weird. Like
- 57:51Speaker 1: they would get mad at someone for the way they
- 57:54Speaker 1: designed their house. And I was like, what do you
- 57:56Speaker 1: give a fuck? And he's like, this is like, one
- 57:58Speaker 1: of my neighbors built a house and my other neighbor,
- 58:01Speaker 1: what do you think about his house? I go, the house, like,
- 58:03Speaker 1: I don't care. And he's like, I think it's ugly.
- 58:06Speaker 1: And this, this house is going to lower our property values.
- 58:08Speaker 1: I go, what, what are you fucking talking about? Your
- 58:10Speaker 1: house looks great. You have a beautiful house. You think
- 58:13Speaker 1: people are going to pay less for your house? Cause
- 58:14Speaker 1: this house is boring. Like this doesn't make any sense,
- 58:18Speaker 1: but it's just people. They nitpick. And when they have control,
- 58:23Speaker 1: when people have control over other people's situation, Like they
- 58:26Speaker 1: don't have control over their own life and their life
- 58:28Speaker 1: is just a sloppy mess. They always like to look
- 58:31Speaker 1: at other people's lives and I don't like where he
- 58:33Speaker 1: puts his dumpsters.
- 58:34Speaker 2: It's a hater.
- 58:35Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 58:36Speaker 2: We all confront that all the time.
- 58:37Speaker 1: It's not just a hater. It's a hater with power
- 58:40Speaker 1: because of homeowners associations. And from that moment on, I
- 58:44Speaker 1: decided I will never buy a home with a homeowners association. Never.
- 58:49Speaker 1: No fucking chance. I don't care how cool they are
- 58:51Speaker 1: because someone not cool can move in and then it
- 58:53Speaker 1: becomes a nightmare. I will never have conversations with those
- 58:57Speaker 1: kind of people where they tell you what you could
- 58:59Speaker 1: do with your lawn. Like, fuck you.
- 59:03Speaker 2: Fuck you. When I was a young comic, I lived
- 59:06Speaker 2: with my grandfather in the house that I grew up in,
- 59:09Speaker 2: and we would never. ever ever mow the lawn we
- 59:11Speaker 2: just didn't have any money we didn't care and everyone
- 59:14Speaker 2: in our neighborhood just hated us they would heckle us
- 59:17Speaker 2: and yell at us so i guess i've been the
- 59:20Speaker 2: eyesore and now i'm on the other side of.
- 59:21Speaker 1: It my grandfather lived in the same house that he
- 59:25Speaker 1: bought in the 1940s and when he bought it in
- 59:27Speaker 1: the 1940s this was in uh It was an all
- 59:29Speaker 1: Italian neighborhood in Newark. And then, um, they, they started doing,
- 59:34Speaker 1: you were born in.
- 59:35Speaker 2: Newark, Newark, New Jersey.
- 59:36Speaker 1: No shit. Let's go.
- 59:39Speaker 2: That's where I learned karate. Is that really from detectives
- 59:43Speaker 2: in Newark?
- 59:43Speaker 1: Really? Oh yeah. Yeah. People don't know you're a black
- 59:46Speaker 1: belt in Taekwondo. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's wild. Do
- 59:49Speaker 1: you still do it at all?
- 59:50Speaker 2: I mean, I work out like, you know, not with people,
- 59:53Speaker 2: but I, I know my moves and I, I do
- 59:56Speaker 2: a few in the new Netflix special. I throw some
- 59:58Speaker 2: kicks for fun and tell the story about getting a
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: black belt starting at six, getting bullied, my mom dragging
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: me to the house of empty hands. That was what
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: it was called. Ronnie Roselli, Newark detective, teaching me karate,
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: almost like a father figure.
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: Oh, that's awesome.
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: Gave me confidence, gave me self-respect, respect for others, taught
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: me that hard work pays off. You know, when you
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: get a black belt at 10 and a half, you go, wow,
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: maybe I could be something in my life. If I
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: work as hard as I did at that, maybe I
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: could be good at something else too.
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I mean, it teaches you a lot about, like,
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: the belt system is really good because you get rewarded
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: for your work and then you see, like, a tangible result.
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: Instead of just like, ooh, I'm getting better, it's like, ooh,
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: there's like a ceremony. Like I've reached a new level.
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: Like now, you know, now I have to be.
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: Some of my most cherished memories are those ceremonies of
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: my dad and mom watching me get my brown belt,
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: blue belt, brown belt, and black belt, and competing in
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: tournaments all over the East Coast.
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: Isn't that awesome?
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: What was his name?
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: Gary?
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: There's this karate guy. Gary Alexander. He threw East Coast tournaments,
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: and I used to compete. I still have a room,
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: half a dozen karate trophies in my house.
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: That's awesome.
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: It's the best time of my life.
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: I lost most of my stuff, but I do have
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: a bunch of medals that I still have that are
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: in my drawer by my bed. A bunch of medals
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: from the day. But it seems weird when I pick
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: them up. They don't even seem real.
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: It's from another life.
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: Oh, it's another life. Like, I don't even. Until I, like,
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: hit a bag or something like that, I almost forget
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: that I could do it. You know? And then I
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: do it. I'm like, ooh. Right. Still got it. I like.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: I like.
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: My kicks, I can front snap kick. I can't side kick.
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: I can barely roundhouse at this point. But it's like.
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: Why not?
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: I got a belly. There's no real good reason other
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: than I'm just, you know.
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: You ever thought about like starting to take classes again?
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: If I do think about it, I probably could.
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: You know, you're good at kicking, of pushing me to
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: do stuff like that.
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: It'd be good for your health. Just take a class
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: a couple times a week.
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: What would I take? If I was a black belt
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: in taekwondo.
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: Take taekwondo. Just start taking that again. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: you're doing it for exercise. It's not like you're going
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: to fight in the UFC. No. Just go and start,
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: you know. You'd probably feel it a little bit, and
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: then you remember what you used to be able to do,
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: and so your muscle memory would kick in. Yeah. You'd
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: start probably watching your diet a little bit better. Right, right, right.
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: Drinking more water. Yeah. Taking vitamins. Yeah. Next thing you know,
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: four or five months have gone by, and now your
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: waist is thinner. Your kicks are snappier. You're going to
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: three classes a week instead of two. You feel better.
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: People go, Jeff, look at you. You're looking great. Like, yeah,
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: I started taking Taekwondo again.
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not a bad idea. I guess I wouldn't
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: wear my black belt. I would feel like I was
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: disrespecting the art. So I'd have to re-earn that.
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: Well, you could always take a totally new style and
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: start out as a white belt. You know, you take, like, Kyokushin,
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: the shirt I'm wearing right now, George St. Pierre. Take
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: something else. Just take something near you, like Krav Maga. Like,
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: take anything.
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: My manager, Amy, told me she was your publicist when
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: you were on the cover of Black Belt magazine.
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Amy's V.
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: Yeah, way back in the dizzay.
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: I love that. That's so funny.
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I never stopped working out. I just don't.
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: It's too much of a part of my brain. Like
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: my mind doesn't operate well if I have days. Even
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: if I just take a couple days off, I don't
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: feel right. I feel squirrely. I feel like I'm not balanced,
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: you know?
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: Sometimes I just like to stand in front of a
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: mirror and just throw blocks and just make sure that
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: I like the way that it feels and just do it.
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: It's meditative. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I used to
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: love doing, especially when I lived in California? I'd take
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: a couple bong hits and just hit the bag. And
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: just like feel it. Just start feeling it. Just whomp.
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: I remember my cottage.
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: Do you? Do you remember all those?
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: I remember at least the first two, I think.
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: God, I used to hate those things. I didn't think.
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: I was young and immature. And I didn't understand the
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: value of forms. I used to think that this is pointless.
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: This isn't fighting. I only wanted to practice fighting technique.
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: But now I understand. It teaches you body control. Like
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: you throw a sidekick and you snap it up in
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: the air and you hold it and you turn and
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: block and all that stuff. Like it teaches you– it's
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: almost like a form of yoga. And it teaches you
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: to control your body. I do a lot of kicks
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: in the air now and I do them slowly. And
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: it's really good for your control and your balance. And
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: I didn't think that when I was younger. I thought
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: that was like a waste of time. I thought like
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: really what's important is like hitting things really hard and
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: being fast. And now I realize like, no, no, no, no.
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: There's like a lot of value even to help your
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: techniques and to be able to hit things hard. Like
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: do it slowly and just have full control of your
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: balance and your movement. So I like to do that.
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: I like to do like slow kicks.
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: That's why I like yoga.
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: Yoga is amazing. Yeah.
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: I feel like that's akin to martial arts.
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: It makes me high. Yoga is like the best high.
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: You take your shoes off.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: Your phone is gone.
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: You're so relaxed when it's over.
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: It's just about your body and control.
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: You're so calm. Yeah. Yeah. Yoga is so good for
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: your brain.
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: Usually on Mondays when I'm here, I would go with
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: Tony to his high yoga.
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, Tony loves it. Yeah. He raves about his yoga.
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: He told me he's been off.
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: It a little bit. He has. Yeah. Well, you know.
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: The thing about Tony is he's so focused on Kill
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: Tony right now because the momentum is so extraordinary. And
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: he realizes that. Tony's really aware that he's in a
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: very rare moment in his life where things are going
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: so well. So he's got his foot on the gas.
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: Yeah, of course.
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: And he's got his new special that he filmed that
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: he's editing right now, Get Ready to Release.
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: I'm so proud of him, man. And he's earned it.
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: I always told him he would take a different path
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: than a normal entertainer. He always had this kind of
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: odd trajectory.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: Well, he's an odd guy. Tony, you'd swear he's gay,
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: and he's not. But he's an awesome person. People who
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: don't know Tony, they see the outside of him. Of course.
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: As a friend, he's a great friend. Of course. He's
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: a great guy. I love that guy to death.
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: We're always checking on each other.
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: He's the best.
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: He was so happy. He was the first one to
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: text me when I knew I was coming down here.
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: When I was workshopping my show, he came and saw
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: it in Austin. came to the opening night on Broadway
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: in New York. He's like there for his friends.
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: He's the best. 100%. Well, that's the beautiful thing about
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: Kill Tony is it's all about supporting people and giving
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: people careers. Yeah. I mean, he's given so many people
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: careers and pumped so many people up. I mean, he's really...
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: That thing, that Kill Tony thing is also... It is,
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: in my opinion... Well, first of all, for our club,
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: it's the cornerstone of the club. It's one of the
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: most important things about the mothership because... Having Kill Tony
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: at the Mothership every Monday night lets all these people
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: that are upcoming comedians see what it's like to have
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: one minute that you've polished and worked on really well
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: and it kills. And then you pop and then all
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, it's on YouTube. It's got
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: 11 million views. And then, you know, maybe it's on
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: Netflix and it's got millions and millions of people watching
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: all around the world. And then all of a sudden
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: people come to see you in the clubs. And you're
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: selling out weekends. And you're writing. And then you get
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: a golden ticket. You've got to do a new minute
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: every week. You're a regular. A new minute.
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: My show comes on tonight. It's 90 minutes. It might
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: be the longest stand-up special in Netflix history.
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: Well, your show is like a one-man show.
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: 90 minutes.
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: It's a little different, right? I haven't seen it, but
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: I've heard great things. Yeah.
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: You're going to love it.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: I'm sure I will.
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: I think you're going to like it because it's about us.
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: It's about comedy and kids. the community of of what
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: we do it's.
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: A embattled community and it has its like detractors and
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: it has a bunch of haters and a bunch of
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: shitheads in it but for the most part like as
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: far as creative communities it's one of the most supportive
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: communities ever i mean it's an amazing the community of
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: comics like real comics that are all that when we
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: meet up in clubs it's always People think we're all angry, bitter.
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: No, it's the opposite.
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: The tears of a clown. There's a few people like that,
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: and they always make me sad. But the reality is
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: most of us are super happy to see each other.
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: It's always hugs and laughing and watching each other's sets
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: and giving each other tags and telling each other, like, oh,
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: that fucking new bit is amazing. It's like, it's so supportive.
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: I was at your club last night, and it was like, oh,
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: the comics come in to say hi. I brought some
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: extra chicken wings. Jamar was there. It was just fun.
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: Moses was doing Roast Battle. I sat in on that.
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: Then I went outside, said hi to some people, and
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: went upstairs and did a spot.
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: It's like, it's fun.
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: I don't have a wife and kids to go home to.
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: This is what I do. This is the people that
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: I love. The comedians are my kids, my cousins, my uncles,
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: my aunts, you know?
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: Well, I do have a wife and kids, but it's
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: still my other family. It's like the family of comedians,
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: it's like a band of brothers and sisters. It's like
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: a weird kind of friendship that, you know, it's like
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: only they know what you do. Only they understand that
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: it's like 10 years before you're even any good. 10 years.
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: If you're out there and you're headlining a club and
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: you're on the road, you fucking put in that work.
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: There's no shortcuts. It's impossible to have a shortcut. You
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: just got to grind.
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: I learned over time, I don't want a shortcut. I
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: like the process. That's what I live for. We have
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: a roast coming up May 10th. It's not about May 10th.
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: It's about I can't wait to hang in the writer's
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: room again. I can't wait to figure out who's coming.
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: I can't wait to figure out the seating. Who are
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: we going to make fun of? Who's going to be
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: in the front? What am I going to wear? It
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: is the grind that's exciting.
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no finish line. Right. The finish line doesn't exist.
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: You'll have little finish lines like you do a special,
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: like your special that's coming out. That's a finish line.
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: but it's only a stop. You're stopping to get water.
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: But where is the finish line, Joe? Like, okay, so
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: I did the Broadway show. Then I shot it. Then
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: I edited it. But now I'm here still talking about it.
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: And then in a month from now, two months from now,
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: someone will stop me at the airport and go, hey,
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: my kid was sick. I was in the hospital. I
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: watched your thing, and it made me laugh for five minutes.
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: So all of it is, there's no finish line.
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: No, there's no finish line.
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: If you're sitting around going, I hope I win the Oscar.
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: Tom Cruise is jealous of George Clooney, and George Clooney
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: is jealous of Brad Pitt. There's no finish line.
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: There's no finish line.
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: I have a big neon, like you have the neon.
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: I have a big neon in my house that just says,
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: enjoy the process.
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: That's where I'm at.
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: Yeah. Trust it. Trust the process and enjoy it. And
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: that's the weird thing about when you release a special
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: and then you have nothing. And then, you know, you
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: have to like scour your brain for what you want
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: to talk about. I took like a whole month off
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: a stand up after my last special. I didn't do
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: any stand up, maybe more than a month. And I
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: just thought I said, let me just think just like
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: no pressure. Let me just think like what what is
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: interesting to me? What do I want to talk about
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: instead of just rushing to try to put together a
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: new hour?
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: Let me just think for a while. You know, and
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: I'd come to the club every now and then and
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: watch guys do sets. But I didn't do any sets
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: for a while.
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: I'm in that zone right now.
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: It's nice.
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: You know what?
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: Scary.
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: When I first finished the special, it was years of
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: material building with a through line and a story. And
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: then when it was over, I was a little bit lost. Like,
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: I'd go to the comedy cellar. I was still in
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: New York. I couldn't let go of some of the.
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: And I was like, I need to stop doing this material.
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: And then I felt like I had no purpose. Like
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: I didn't want to talk about anything. And I said
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: it to my buddy Kai and he goes, dude, relax.
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: You're between albums. Like he put it in musical sense
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: for me. He's like, you're like a musician between albums,
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: absorb some new things, see some movies, go on a trip,
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: have some new life experiences. And then I was like, yeah,
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: that's probably a break after doing the same thing, the
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: same kind of hunk for years. Your body, your brain,
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: like think about something else. Absorb new things. Download new influences.
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: And that's kind of where I'm at. And then, of course,
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: Kevin was like, I'll get roasted. And I was like,
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: all right, I can put stand-up away for another two
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: months and just write that.
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: So I go back into roast mode, which gives me–
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: I'm like a dog who needs a job. Yeah.
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, exactly. It's kind of the same thing as
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: your dog. It really is. It's like you need a task.
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: If you're just doing nothing, like the idea of like, oh,
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: one day I'm going to retire and just relax. Like, bitch,
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: you'll go crazy.
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: Did you see we're roasting Kevin Hart?
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: That's what I heard. Are you supposed to say that, though? Yeah.
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: Are you supposed to talk about it? I am. Okay.
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: You're allowed to?
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: My show.
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: Okay, because I was told not to tell people about it.
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: We're doing it. May 10th, baby. Mother's Day, live on Netflix.
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: So you're officially announcing it. Yeah. Okay, I can talk
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: about it now.
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: At the forum.
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: Because I was told about it, but I was told
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: I was not supposed to tell anybody about it.
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: I don't know who told you that.
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: Some people. No, dude. They said keep it under wraps.
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: You like it? Oh, it's already a thing. Yeah, they
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: announced it this weekend, I think. Oh, hosted by Shane Gillis.
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: Let's fucking go. Nice. That's awesome. That's awesome. Sweet, right?
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: Fuck yeah.
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: Kevin is so pumped up.
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: That's awesome. That's going to be fun.
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: Dude, he's out, you know, he's.
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: These Netflix fucking, the Tom Brady one was insane. That
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: was so good. That was so good. That kind of
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: like juiced comedy back up again because it was so wild.
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: It was like the jokes were so wild. It was
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: so raw. Yeah. And we had gone through this like
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: weird period of like people getting canceled for jokes. You know,
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: it's like all of a sudden like, no, that's gone. No, no, no.
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: I said to him. I've been big game hunting Tom
- 1:14:44Speaker 2: Brady for years. It took a couple years. He retired, unretired,
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: but I kept him on the line. And finally, we
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: were shooting promos, and I was like, why are you
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: doing this? Because I could tell it was starting to
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: heat up, and some heavy hitters were signing on. I go,
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: why are you doing this? It wasn't for the money.
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: And he goes, I want to bring comedy back. I'm
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: sick of the woke bullshit and cancel. I want to
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: make comedy fun again. He understood that. And I caught
- 1:15:13Speaker 2: him on a Super Bowl Sunday. He was playing in
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. And I saw him looking at some
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: jokes on Instagram that I posted. And I'm like, this
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: is where he goes to relax. He goes to the roast.
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: And I'd heard that. So as I was like, he
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: won the game. And I was like, I think it's time.
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: And then we reeled him in and he did it.
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: And I will admit that roast was harsher than, I expect,
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: even I expected vicious. I mean, it was, it was
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: a bloodbath and I saw Tom the other day and
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: I said, it's time to take your win. You know,
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: he was like, it was so harsh. It was tough
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: on my family. I go, I get all that, but
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: you wanted to do it to bring comedy back. You
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: did that 1.6 billion viewing minutes, Emmy nominated against the
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: Oscars and the grant, like The Super Bowl half.
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: It was the most watched thing in the history of Netflix. Right.
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: You know how nuts that is? Think about how many
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: things are on Netflix. That roast was the most watched
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: thing in the history of Netflix. And it was because
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: it was so funny. It wasn't just because it was
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: Tom Brady, which of course made a lot. But it
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: wasn't just because all these great comics were on it,
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: which of course meant a lot.
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: It was so good. It was so good that people
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: were telling people about it. Yeah.
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: And it's like a great Super Bowl. It's going to
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: be around forever.
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: Netflix leaves it up.
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: Like the Charlie Sheen roast. We were talking about Patrice. Yeah.
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: They're always going to be there. It's going to be
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: there forever.
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: I do think, all respect to Tom, I do think
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: this one with Kevin and Shane Gillis is going to
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: top it.
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: Really?
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: I think it's not quite a sequel, but it's its
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: own thing. Well- Going to be the greatest roast of
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: all time.
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: Netflix is the place for roast now because as great
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: as Comedy Central was, you had restrictions on language and content. Right.
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: And it was editing. Yes. Editing. And commercials. Right. Yeah. Right.
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: This is buck wild.
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: Buck wild.
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: Yeah. Netflix is fucking amazing. I mean, what an insane
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: platform that you have. You could never get bored. If
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: you're bored in this life, like you're bored, you don't
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: have anything to watch. Like, are you crazy? Yeah. There's
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: so much shit to watch.
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: Only boring people are bored, right?
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: Yeah. Or people are uninformed. But I mean, even in
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: this day and age, you could just, you know, do
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: an internet search. Like, what's the best roasts on Netflix? Right.
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: What are the best dramas on Netflix? What are the
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: best shows on Netflix? Right. There's always something. That's exciting, though.
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: It's going to be a big one.
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: Yeah. Mother's Day.
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: Motherfucker's Day.
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: Kevin Hart, there's a guy, like, I don't understand how
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: he has the time to do all the things he does.
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: I do not understand it. I'm a pretty busy person
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: and I look at people like him and I feel lazy.
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: I'm like, how are you doing this? Right. How do
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: you have time to sleep? Right.
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: And I saw him out with his wife having drinks
- 1:18:05Speaker 2: two nights last weekend.
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: He must sleep like four hours a night.
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: I don't know how he does it. Some people just
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: built different.
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, well, it's growing up poor and realizing
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: that like once this is happening for you, like keep
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: your foot on the gas. And that guy keeps his
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: foot on the gas better than anybody. Yeah. And he's
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: ambitious as fuck. He's always got like some tequila brand
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: and releasing this. He had a vegan restaurant chain for
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: a while. I would have talked him out of that.
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: What the fuck are you doing with that?
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: Well, you know, he likes to branch out and be
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: a businessman.
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: Yeah. I just don't understand the time. And then in
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: the meantime, he's doing arenas at the same time.
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: And killing.
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't get it.
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: The roast for him is back to itself.
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: Roots.
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: That's what I love about it. It's like the Philly thing,
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: talking shit. Shane's from Philly, so there'll be a big
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: Philly angle. And we got some of his oldest buddies
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: coming on. It's going to be pretty massive, I think.
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: That's nice. Yeah. Well, you've carved out an interesting path
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: for yourself as the roast master. Yeah. You know, it's
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: like an old school skill, you know, that used to
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: be a big part of comedy. You know, the Friars
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: Club roasts. Yeah.
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: I miss those Friars Club roasts when they were just like,
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: you know, sometimes they weren't even on TV yet when
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: I was doing them. I just bought a Leroy Neiman
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: painting from, they had an auction of old Friars memorabilia
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: and Leroy Neiman painted Henny Youngman. surrounded and he painted
- 1:19:37Speaker 2: his punch lines like around his one-liners around Henny holding
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: his violin and he used to sit in the dining
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: room at the New York Friars and Henny in his
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: wheelchair would sit under that painting and for some reason
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: it's all up for auction so of course I had.
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: To grab it oh that's awesome that's so cool that
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: you got it yeah that's amazing.
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: I miss some of those guys think about Buddy Hackett
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: I almost wore a Buddy Hackett t-shirt today I loved
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: Buddy Hackett.
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: He has a Buddy Hackett t-shirt?
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: Somebody made me a Buddy Hackett t-shirt and gave.
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: It to me. Yeah, those guys are from a different time,
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: you know? Different time. No television. No nothing. Doing the
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: cat skills. Right. Different world.
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: They would do each other's acts. They would do whatever
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: got a laugh.
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: Yeah. They were assassins on the road. It was a
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: totally different life. And if you had a name, like
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: you had a name back then, like if you were
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: a famous comedian back then, there was the rarest of
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: rare things. Yeah. How many of them were there? There
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: was like 10? Right. You know?
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: Shecky, Buddy, Nipsey.
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: Few of those guys. Yeah. Few of those guys.
- 1:20:40Speaker 2: There are not many left.
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: No.
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: They're really all gone now.
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: Yeah. That's what happens.
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: That's going to happen to us, Buddy.
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: That's what I hear.
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: Better than the alternative.
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: What? Stay around forever? No. Either... You.
- 1:20:55Speaker 2: Either keep going or you saw the picture, Gilbert, Norm, Bob,
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: you know, the alternative is death. So when I go,
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: I don't want to get old, I go, yeah, you
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: want to get old.
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: Yeah. As long as you keep your body moving. You
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: just don't want to be an old, like, completely incapacitated person. Like, that's,
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: especially if it's avoidable. Right. You know what I mean?
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: I went through it all year. Three weeks after that
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: Brady roast, I went in for a colonoscopy. My buddy
- 1:21:26Speaker 2: Jordan had been texting our text chain. He's kind of
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: a hypochondriac, so I kind of ignored it. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: I was too busy. I was on the road. And
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: then finally I went in for a routine colonoscopy. And
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: I waited too long. And they found a tumor in
- 1:21:44Speaker 2: my colon. And immediately that an hour, two hours later
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: was on the phone with a surgeon. And stage three.
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: And found a specialist, took care of it right away,
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: but never felt doomed.
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: Have you changed your diet after that?
- 1:22:03Speaker 2: I'm eating a lot less red meat.
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: Red meat?
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: Now when I eat red meat, it's like going to
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: be the best red meat.
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: Why is it red meat? I don't know.
- 1:22:12Speaker 2: I mean, for me, growing up in a catering hall
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: in New Jersey around pastrami and prime rib, and he
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: said that that was a big cause of colon cancer.
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: Really? Yeah.
- 1:22:23Speaker 2: And processed foods.
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: Processed foods make sense. Yeah. That makes sense.
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: So I'm eating a lot less of that.
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: I moved over to turkey and chicken and a little
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: bit of fish.
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: And cut out the processed stuff?
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: As much as I can.
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: What about alcohol? Did you cut that out?
- 1:22:37Speaker 2: I've never been a big drinker.
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's a little wake-up call.
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: When you have a health scare, it's a wake-up call.
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: Time to take care of yourself.
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: I just had the, you know, I talk about this
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: on my show, like I had my chemo port on Broadway,
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: on the show, and I was like, still kind of
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: in it. It's like I was having a human experience
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: on stage. And just two weeks ago, I had the port,
- 1:23:03Speaker 2: the chemo port taken out. My sister came down to
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: celebrate and hang with me and, and, uh, It's like
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: a war prize. Like, I hold the port where they
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: put the chemo. Like, I have it on my desk now.
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: And let's just say they put a lot more in
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: people than they take out. So I feel very lucky.
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: I survived it all. Yeah, I'm glad you're alive, dude.
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: People die with those fucking ports in them.
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: They do. Well, they die with cancer. That's for damn sure. Yeah.
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: Colon cancer is a very common one.
- 1:23:32Speaker 2: This guy, James Vanderbeek, younger than me.
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: I know. I met him. He was a nice fucking guy, man.
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: He came to the club. Hung out with his wife
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: in the green room. Sweetest guy. Just such a nice guy.
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: And apparently he was struggling back then. I didn't know.
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: He looked real thin, you know.
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: So when you asked me right when you walked in,
- 1:23:51Speaker 2: how are you doing?
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: I was like, great.
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: You know, like it was a it was a question
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: and you asked politely and innocently.
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, I didn't know that you
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: had gone through that. Yeah.
- 1:24:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: I haven't seen you in when? When was the last
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: time I saw you?
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: I saw you in D.C. I saw you in New
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: York for Kill Tony.
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: Briefly. Yeah, yeah, briefly. We didn't, like, sit down and
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: shoot the shit.
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: No, no, we had a drink. Was it your birthday
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: in New York when you were doing Kill Tony? Or
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: was it here? New York.
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: I think it was in New York. It was August.
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that. But then I saw
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: you in D.C. when you were with your family. It
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: was quick.
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: But, uh.
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: I feel like I see you because I pop into
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: the mothership, but I always pop in on the weekends
- 1:24:35Speaker 2: when you're off.
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: But, yeah, it was a crazy thing, man. I've never
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: been sick a day in my life. I've always had that, like,
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: my grandpa used to call it world-beater energy. Like, I
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: always felt invincible, never thought for a second it would
- 1:24:50Speaker 2: be me.
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: And then I did wait too long to get a colonoscopy.
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: And they're not a big deal. Like, guys are afraid
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: of colonoscopies because.
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: Because something's up your butt.
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: Yeah, but in the end... It really isn't up your butt.
- 1:25:02Speaker 2: It's a doctor checking you out.
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: That's what they tell you when you wake up. They
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: go up your butt, bro.
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: And get the endoscopy, especially for smokers and stuff like that.
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: And for what is essentially a one-day inconvenience, they can
- 1:25:21Speaker 2: really save your life. It did save my life.
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you cleaned up your diet. Yeah. You know,
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: you got to do that because I know that you are...
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: I mean, I've run into you at Cat's Deli before, too.
- 1:25:31Speaker 2: That's another thing I needed to talk to you about.
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: What?
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: I forgot all about this until you brought it up.
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: Do you remember running into me at Cat's Deli with
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: Tony and.
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: I guess you must have been in town doing stand-up
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: or something. This was like already 10 years ago.
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: I don't think it was that long ago, was it?
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: It was, and I'll tell you how I know. One
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: of the things when I.
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: When I got booked on this appearance, I said, I
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: make a mental note, I overwoke an apology. And it's
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: not a big deal, but it always kind of bugged me.
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: I came in to say hi, and I was self-conscious
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: because I had something wrong with me and I didn't
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: know what it was. And you said, what's with your eyebrows?
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: And I, like, I, like, shook... I like kind of
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: shoulder shrugged and you were like, is it for a role?
- 1:26:26Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: Oh.
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: Do you have any recollection?
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: I do. And I lied. Yeah.
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: Because I was embarrassed.
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: You said I shaved him off for a role. I
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: was like, oh, that's crazy. What are you playing?
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: I was embarrassed because I had alopecia. Didn't really understand
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: what was happening to me yet. And I, you saw the,
- 1:26:47Speaker 2: I had a big fro, big bushy eyebrows, like. I
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: was like the Propecia Man of the Year. And I
- 1:26:58Speaker 2: don't know what causes it. It's an autoimmune thing. It's
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: not life-threatening. But suddenly I looked completely different. My fame,
- 1:27:10Speaker 2: like if anyone ever recognized me, walking into a restaurant,
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: you know, get a good table, skip the line. It
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: was all gone. Just suddenly and within a few weeks.
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: I was.
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: I remember being at Zaney's in Nashville and just scratching
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: my head and, like, a big clump of hair came out.
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: Then I was on a plane and I was like,
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: there's no hair on my leg. What the fuck's going on?
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: And then within a month, me and Adam Egatt and
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: Tony went to the barbershop on Melrose. They came with
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: me because I was kind of, like, shaken up. Like,
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: what is happening to me?
- 1:27:44Speaker 1: Am I dying? So it happened really quickly?
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: It happens all within a few weeks.
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: All your hair fell off within a few weeks. And then.
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: When I thought it was done, eyebrows started going. And
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: then eyelashes. So sweat, salt. I was like, what the fuck?
- 1:28:02Speaker 2: I didn't even recognize myself.
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: Is there anything they do that reverses that?
- 1:28:08Speaker 2: There's some medications.
- 1:28:10Speaker 1: Dr.
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: Drew actually hooked me up with a research doctor, Brett King.
- 1:28:16Speaker 2: He was at Yale at the time in Connecticut. And
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: I did have... some restoration of eyelashes and eyebrows, but
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: the side effects were a little bit scary and they
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: lower your immune system a little bit. So I did
- 1:28:35Speaker 2: that for years. And then when I got cancer, I
- 1:28:39Speaker 2: was like, fuck, those meds. I can't do it anymore.
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:28:42Speaker 2: And the chemo eyebrows, eyelashes gone again.
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: And now I'm literally like hairless. Like I have no hair. And,
- 1:28:53Speaker 2: you know, you learn to live with it. You know,
- 1:28:55Speaker 2: you got to channel your inner rock stuff.
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: Listen, there's worse things that can happen.
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: Believe me, I get it.
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: You know. Right. More than anybody.
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: But it always dinged me because you and I have
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: been friends a long time. We have an honest friendship, comics,
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: brutal honesty, truth. And I looked you right in the
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: eyes and I was like, yeah, I went with it.
- 1:29:18Speaker 1: I found out. slightly after that, that you had alopecia
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: from other people because someone else brought it up and
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: someone said, oh, he's got alopecia. And I'm like, oh,
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: I asked him at Cat's Deli. And he said he
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: shaved his eyebrows off for a while. But I just
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: felt like you're probably embarrassed. And I totally understood. Like,
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: it's weird.
- 1:29:36Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: They say a lot of these autoimmune issues come from inflammation.
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: And a lot of inflammation comes from what you eat. Right.
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: You know.
- 1:29:45Speaker 2: Doctor would tell me that wasn't true.
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: So. Yeah, doctors aren't always right. And one of the
- 1:29:49Speaker 1: things they're not always right about is nutrition and the
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: impact that nutrition has, particularly on autoimmune issues. Very few
- 1:29:56Speaker 1: doctors have any knowledge or any education in nutrition and
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: the impact it has. I mean, your entire body is
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: built out of and reconstructed from what you consume. It's
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: the only thing that your body has. Your body makes
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: new cells. Your body replenishes cells, recreates all the tissue.
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: There's only one way to do It's got to be
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: what you eat. It's the only thing. What you drink,
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: what you eat. That's it. And if you're eating a
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: bunch of processed stuff that has a bunch of bullshit
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: and preservatives.
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: And dealing with inflammation, well, a.
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: Lot of things. Allergies cause inflammation. Processed food causes inflammation.
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: Excess sugar causes inflammation. Alcohol. There's a lot of things
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: that people eat that cause inflammation. But it's really genuinely
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: a thing of a balance of, you know, your diet. And,
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: you know, what your body has to work with. You know,
- 1:30:49Speaker 1: if your body doesn't have any nutrients to work with,
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: no vitamins, no minerals, you know, you're dehydrated, you're drinking
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: too much sugar, you know, things start malfunctioning and misfiring.
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: And then, you know, there's a bunch of different consequences
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: for having a high inflammation diet. And for a lot
- 1:31:09Speaker 1: of people, it's sugar. Sugar is one of the leading
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: causes of inflammation, especially in the standard American diet. Because
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: the standard American diet is just riddled with excess sugar.
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: Corn syrup and bullshit and preservatives. And your body just
- 1:31:24Speaker 1: after a while just gets tired of processing that stuff.
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: And then you start encountering a bunch of issues. And
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of autoimmune issues that people
- 1:31:35Speaker 1: have had success in reversing. By completely cutting out everything
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: other than whole foods. Just eating chicken and meat and
- 1:31:44Speaker 1: vegetables and drinking water and that's it. Cutting out all
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: the bullshit.
- 1:31:50Speaker 2: Yeah, I got to do better.
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: Have you ever gotten blood work done?
- 1:31:52Speaker 2: Well, now I have to do it all the time.
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: Do you? Do you ever get blood work done from
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: like a comprehensive laboratory that's looking at your nutrient levels
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: and all those different things?
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: I don't know if I've done that.
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: Well, you should do that. There's a place in town, Wastewell.
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: I'll send you there. Yeah. Yeah, they're really good. I mean,
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: they do. They take a shitload of blood, and they
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: do these really comprehensive blood panels. They can scan for cancer, too,
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: by the way.
- 1:32:13Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that I've done.
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a big one, you know, because they can
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: check for any kind of cancer in your body.
- 1:32:19Speaker 2: Well, now that I'm through all that, I'm much more
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: open to taking care of myself and staying on it.
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: The first time I did that one, I was like,
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: cancer's a scary one. And I was like, boy, I
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: hope I don't have cancer and don't know about it.
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: When it came out, zero, I was like, But I
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: do so much to take care of myself. I do
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: the sauna every day, cold plunge. I take a ton
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: of vitamins. I'm always exercising. I eat probably like 99% clean.
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: Every now and then I'll fuck off. Or if my
- 1:32:49Speaker 1: daughter makes cookies, I'll eat cookies. But for the most part,
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: I give my body.
- 1:32:53Speaker 2: What kind of cookies?
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: She's really good. She bakes a bunch of different stuff.
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: Today was white chocolate chip cookies. They were really good.
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: I had one this morning. But for the most part, it's...
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: Your body... can only use what you put in it.
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: There's no other building blocks. It doesn't have anything else.
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: There's nothing else it can draw from. And that's one
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: of the problems is when you don't give your body
- 1:33:15Speaker 1: what it needs, it starts taking things out of the tissue.
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: It starts taking things, and that's where osteoporosis comes from.
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: Your body starts literally taking calcium out of your bones.
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: You know, you've got to give your body the building blocks.
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: Without that, it doesn't know what the fuck to do.
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: And slowly but surely, you start to deteriorate. And there's
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: a giant difference between giving your body a nutrient-dense, healthy
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: diet and not. And taking care of yourself and exercising
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: and not. And drinking much water and electrolytes and not.
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: There's a giant difference. And it's all– your body just
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: cannot recreate itself correctly. It cannot build itself and repair
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: itself correctly unless it gets the proper nutrients. That's where
- 1:33:58Speaker 1: a lot of people's issues come from. And doctors don't
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: tell you that. Like– I had a family member that
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: got real sick, and the doctor said they got cancer.
- 1:34:06Speaker 1: And the doctor said, it doesn't matter what you eat.
- 1:34:07Speaker 1: I go, well, fuck that doctor. That's not true.
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: I don't believe that at all.
- 1:34:11Speaker 1: This doctor's telling you you could eat cake and just
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: take chemo and you'll be fine. That's horseshit. That's not true.
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: That's not true. Because one of the things they should
- 1:34:18Speaker 1: tell you immediately is get on a ketogenic diet. Because
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: one of the things that has been proven is that
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: cancer uses glucose to survive. And autophagy, which comes from diabetes.
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: Fasting is one of the best ways that people can
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: get rid of errant cells and cells that are misfiring.
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: Make your body burn off fat. Use ketones for energy.
- 1:34:42Speaker 1: And just get rid of all the dead cells. Get
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: rid of all the shit that your body doesn't need.
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: And if you don't even want to do that, do
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: intermittent fasting where you only have a period of time
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: where you eat. Give yourself a 16-hour window with no food.
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: And then start eating after that.
- 1:34:59Speaker 2: How do you keep your– how do you not be
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: cranky and lose your mind doing that?
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: Because your body is relying on carbohydrates, right? So when
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: your body is not relying on carbohydrates and your body
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: is burning off ketones, you don't have that problem. You
- 1:35:13Speaker 1: don't have that crashing problem. The crashing problem is from
- 1:35:16Speaker 1: a high-carbohydrate diet. And I've had that before. Look, I'm Italian,
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: so carbohydrates was my thing. It was all about pasta
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: and pizza. I love that stuff. I just love it.
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: And that's my cheat food. If I'm going to cheat,
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: I'm going to eat Italian subs and that kind of shit.
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: But when your body gets accustomed to that, first of all,
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: you get a big insulin spike. You crash. You get exhausted.
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: The way to avoid that is to get your body
- 1:35:41Speaker 1: to start using fats. And the way your body uses
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: fats is that's what you give it for fuel. Your
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: body adjusts. And then your body does something called gluconeogenesis
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: where it starts using meat and protein and turning that
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: into glucose. And when you go through this process, it's
- 1:35:59Speaker 1: a shaky process at first. Like you get what they
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: call the keto flu originally, initially rather, where you get
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: tired all the time. You're like, oh, this is exhausting.
- 1:36:08Speaker 1: And your workouts suffer. It's like you have no energy.
- 1:36:11Speaker 1: But eventually your body adapts and your body just gets
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: accustomed to using fats. And when your body gets fat adapted,
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: first of all, your brain works better. You get an
- 1:36:21Speaker 1: extra gear in terms of like your ability to think
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: and communicate and It just feels like you have more energy.
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: You don't need naps. And you don't crash after you eat.
- 1:36:30Speaker 1: That's why when you're saying you shouldn't eat red meat,
- 1:36:33Speaker 1: I eat mostly red meat. That's like most of my diet.
- 1:36:36Speaker 1: That's like 80% of my diet is meat.
- 1:36:38Speaker 2: I mean, it's an addiction for me.
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: I don't think it's an addiction. I think it's the
- 1:36:43Speaker 1: most nutrient-dense food in the world. The problem is processed
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: red meat, right? So if you're eating a bunch of
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: processed shit that has a bunch of preservatives in it, yeah,
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: that's not good for you. But like a ribeye steak?
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: a grilled ribeye steak, there is nothing wrong with that.
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: It's one of the most healthy foods you can eat.
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: And it has everything you need. It has plenty of vitamins.
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: It has fat. It has all the things that your
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: body naturally knows how to process. And people have been
- 1:37:08Speaker 1: eating that food from the beginning of time. Yeah, you
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: just got to get educated in it. And it's like
- 1:37:16Speaker 1: most people, especially particularly most doctors, I've had conversations with
- 1:37:21Speaker 1: doctors where they've said, You get everything you need from
- 1:37:23Speaker 1: a balanced diet. And I'm like, fuck you. You don't
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: know anything. Like how much time did you spend in
- 1:37:29Speaker 1: medical school learning nutrition? Was it even an hour? Was
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: it a day? Like it takes a long time. And
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: there's real researchers who have spent decades understanding the balance
- 1:37:42Speaker 1: of nutrient-dense foods and vitamin supplementation and what vitamin supplementation
- 1:37:47Speaker 1: can cure and fix and what it's good for. And
- 1:37:50Speaker 1: how to balance it out and what vitamins work synergistically
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: with other vitamins. Like if you're taking vitamin D3, which
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: is fantastic for your immune system, you have to take
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: it with K2. You should take it with magnesium as well.
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: You've got to know these things. And most doctors, they
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: talk out of a voice of authority about something they're
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: not educated in. They're educated in getting people in and
- 1:38:12Speaker 1: out of their office as quick as possible and getting
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: that insurance money. And that's what they do. And most
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: of them, they talk like they're authorities. Meanwhile, they have
- 1:38:20Speaker 1: a gut. You're sitting there looking at this guy who
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: looks like shit and he's telling you about health. Like, bro,
- 1:38:24Speaker 1: you're not healthy. Don't talk to me about health. This
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: is angry. It makes me angry. it really does I
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: get it it's infuriating because it's like these people you
- 1:38:33Speaker 1: count on them as authorities and really they're just they're
- 1:38:36Speaker 1: just paying off their student debt they're paying off their
- 1:38:38Speaker 1: fucking loans they have insane malpractice insurance they have to
- 1:38:42Speaker 1: cover they have a giant monthly nut and they're trying
- 1:38:45Speaker 1: to push pharmaceutical drugs on you as much as they
- 1:38:47Speaker 1: can because they get compensated for that And that's what
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: they do. And this is the standard American health system.
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: It's a real problem. It's a real problem, and it
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: leaves us sicker. This is the thing that RFK Jr.
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: is trying to balance. We spend more money on health
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: care than anyone in the world. We make more money
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: than anyone in the world, and we're sicker than anyone
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: in the world. We spend more money than we ever
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: have on health care. We're sicker than we've ever been.
- 1:39:12Speaker 2: We're living the life. We're eating well.
- 1:39:15Speaker 1: It's not it. We're eating shit. If we're just eating healthy...
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: The people that are just eating healthy have way less problems,
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: way less health consequences, way less issues, way more energy,
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: way more mental acuity, all those things. Because that's how
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: your body is supposed to live. For thousands and thousands
- 1:39:34Speaker 1: of years, what did we do? We ate fruit. We
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: ate vegetables. We ate meat and chicken and fish and eggs.
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: And that's what you're supposed to eat. That's real food.
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: Most of these things that sit on a shelf are.
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: You're not supposed to eat those. Right. Just like your dog.
- 1:39:47Speaker 1: Like your dog's not supposed to be eating kibble. Right.
- 1:39:49Speaker 1: You know? Feed your dog raw food, your dog's going
- 1:39:52Speaker 1: to go bonkers. Feed your dog human-grade food like farmer's dog,
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: your dog will go crazy. Watch how she eats it.
- 1:39:59Speaker 1: Watch the difference in the way.
- 1:40:00Speaker 2: I'll try it.
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: My dog can't wait. He's dripping. Water's dripping off of
- 1:40:05Speaker 1: his mouth before I feed him. He's like sitting there waiting.
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: I'm like, stay. And I'm putting it in the bowl.
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: I'm like, okay. He like attacks it. Jamie, you were
- 1:40:15Speaker 1: saying that about your dog, right? Carl, when he was
- 1:40:18Speaker 1: eating kibble, he wasn't even interested.
- 1:40:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: I mean, I never had a chance to even give
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: it to him.
- 1:40:24Speaker 2: He never ate it.
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: He would just sit there. I'm like, well, who's been
- 1:40:30Speaker 1: feeding you? How did they get in your body?
- 1:40:33Speaker 2: I always give my dog, when I give her turkey,
- 1:40:37Speaker 2: sometimes if I have turkey or chicken around, I'll put
- 1:40:39Speaker 2: it in her bowl. I always give her, you know,
- 1:40:42Speaker 2: like at Katz's Deli when you order the sandwich, they
- 1:40:44Speaker 2: give you a little piece before that.
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:40:46Speaker 2: I always give her a little piece to get her salivating.
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: And she snaps it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, because
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: it's real food. Right. That's what people are supposed to
- 1:40:54Speaker 1: be eating too, man. We're supposed to be eating real food,
- 1:40:57Speaker 1: you know. We got tricked because things have to stay
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: in the supermarket. You got to be able to sit
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: it on the shelf and it's got to be able
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: to stay there for a few months. That's how you
- 1:41:05Speaker 1: make your profit. That's why milk is homogenized and pasteurized.
- 1:41:09Speaker 1: They'll try to scare you off raw milk. Bitch, I
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: drink raw milk every week. There's nothing wrong with raw milk.
- 1:41:14Speaker 1: You just can't get it from a shitty farm. Just
- 1:41:16Speaker 1: like you can't get meat that's rotten. Just like you
- 1:41:19Speaker 1: can't get sushi that's rotten.
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: I eat ice cream every day. How bad is that
- 1:41:22Speaker 2: for me?
- 1:41:23Speaker 1: Ice cream is actually not that bad. Ice cream, when
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: you think about bad things to eat, ice cream is
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: probably one of the best desserts to eat because ice
- 1:41:35Speaker 1: cream has fats from the cream. It has protein from
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: the milk. And it does have sugar. So you got
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: a little bit of sugar. But you're absorbing that sugar
- 1:41:46Speaker 1: along with all the fat and all the cream. And
- 1:41:49Speaker 1: it probably is way better for you. It's way better
- 1:41:52Speaker 1: for you than sugar. Like drinking like a soda. Like
- 1:41:56Speaker 1: a soda is the most alien form of sugar your
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: body absorbs. Your body doesn't know what the fuck this is.
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: Because sugar in nature comes from like an orange tree.
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: It has all this fiber, you know, and you're eating
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: it and it's a slow digestive process. That's why you
- 1:42:14Speaker 1: don't get this crazy spike. But orange juice is fucking nuts.
- 1:42:18Speaker 1: Like you take all the fiber out and now you
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: just have just pure sugar water and you think you're
- 1:42:23Speaker 1: being healthy. Well, you're not. Okay, look, you get a
- 1:42:26Speaker 1: little bit of vitamins from the vitamin C that's from
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: the oranges, but you're not supposed to eat it that way.
- 1:42:31Speaker 1: You're supposed to eat an orange, like apple juice. Right.
- 1:42:35Speaker 1: Like my daughter's like very conscious of like food and
- 1:42:38Speaker 1: like what's in it. And she, she put, we went
- 1:42:40Speaker 1: to the supermarket and she was going to get an
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: apple juice. She's like, this has 30 grams of sugar.
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: This little thing at 30 grams of sugar. Like that's crazy.
- 1:42:50Speaker 1: That's just, you're just, you might as well have a Coca-Cola. Right.
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: It's kind of the same thing. Yeah. Your body, like,
- 1:42:57Speaker 1: I think there's a, there was some paper that was
- 1:42:59Speaker 1: written recently about ice cream actually being good for you.
- 1:43:03Speaker 1: And by far the best of desserts that you can eat.
- 1:43:07Speaker 1: Because it's milk and cream, you know? It's like there's
- 1:43:12Speaker 1: actual food in ice cream.
- 1:43:14Speaker 2: I crave it every night.
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: Ice cream's not that bad. Look at this. Can ice
- 1:43:17Speaker 1: cream be healthy? What recent studies actually show. Recent research
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: has sparked debate about ice cream's place in a balanced diet.
- 1:43:23Speaker 1: By examining long-term health studies, scientists are exploring whether moderate
- 1:43:27Speaker 1: consumption may have unexpected links to certain health outcomes. So
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: ice cream has long been regarded as classic indulgence rather
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: than a healthy food. The discussion largely emerged... Okay. However,
- 1:43:40Speaker 1: in recent times, some surprising research has sparked a debate
- 1:43:43Speaker 1: among nutrition scientists by saying that consumption of ice cream
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: may be related to certain unpredictable health outcomes. The discussion
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: largely emerged from data analyzed in long-running research projects such
- 1:43:54Speaker 1: as Nurses' Health Study and Health Professional Follow-Up Study, two
- 1:43:58Speaker 1: major epidemiological studies that track diet and health outcomes over decades...
- 1:44:02Speaker 1: Research examined dietary patterns among participants with type 2 diabetes.
- 1:44:06Speaker 1: Notice unusual pattern related to ice cream consumption. Discussion earned. Okay,
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: what is the discussion? Consuming ice cream more regularly sometimes
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: appear to have lower risks of certain health conditions, especially
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: cardiovascular disease amongst individuals of type 2 diabetes. The problem
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: is with epidemiological studies, you're just basically like filling out
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: a form as to what you ate. And they track
- 1:44:32Speaker 1: that with like large study groups of people and they
- 1:44:35Speaker 1: try to figure out, okay, that's one of the ways
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: they find out like, oh, the people that eat red
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: meat more are sicker. But that's also like what are
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: you eating? You eating burgers that you call red meat
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: with sugar, with a Coca-Cola and some fries? Because that's
- 1:44:50Speaker 1: what a lot of people are eating. So it's not
- 1:44:52Speaker 1: like grass-fed steak with a salad. You know, that's not
- 1:44:55Speaker 1: the problem.
- 1:44:57Speaker 2: Remember Craig, who came in here? Craig from Craig's. He
- 1:45:00Speaker 2: told me to say hi.
- 1:45:01Speaker 1: I love Craig.
- 1:45:01Speaker 2: He said steak, and I thought about steak.
- 1:45:03Speaker 1: Oh, he makes a great steak.
- 1:45:04Speaker 2: That was my joke when I got colon cancer. I
- 1:45:06Speaker 2: told Craig, you're going to go out of business if
- 1:45:08Speaker 2: I'm not eating your steak.
- 1:45:10Speaker 1: I don't think you have to stop eating steak. I mean,
- 1:45:12Speaker 1: I'm no doctor, but I don't think steak's the problem.
- 1:45:16Speaker 1: I think all the other shit's the problem. I think
- 1:45:18Speaker 1: it's preservatives and bullshit and processed food. It's just not
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: good for you, man. None of it's good for you.
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: If you could sit on a shelf... Like that has
- 1:45:26Speaker 1: all these preservatives. That stuff wrecks havoc on your gut bacteria.
- 1:45:30Speaker 1: When you're consuming things that are filled with preservatives, those
- 1:45:34Speaker 1: preservatives are essentially killing life. That's what they do. That's
- 1:45:39Speaker 1: how it keeps bacteria and mold from growing on the food.
- 1:45:42Speaker 1: It's a life killer. And then you eat it, go, oh, yum, yum, yum. Oh,
- 1:45:47Speaker 1: it's preserved so I can eat it. I mean, your
- 1:45:51Speaker 1: healthy gut bacteria just gets fucking nuked. Yeah, I don't
- 1:45:56Speaker 1: think it's meat is the problem.
- 1:45:59Speaker 2: I was on a USO Christmas tour, and I ate
- 1:46:06Speaker 2: worse on that than I would. And I go, how
- 1:46:11Speaker 2: are they?
- 1:46:14Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:46:14Speaker 2: That's something they should fix.
- 1:46:15Speaker 1: That is something. They're trying to fix that. RFK Jr.
- 1:46:18Speaker 1: is trying to fix that.
- 1:46:19Speaker 2: It's like eating ice cream and shakes and burgers and
- 1:46:22Speaker 2: pizza at every base.
- 1:46:24Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a lot of processed food. Yeah, it's terrible
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: food for those soldiers. It's terrible. And then you're asking
- 1:46:29Speaker 1: them to go to perform in the most fucking scary
- 1:46:32Speaker 1: thing on earth, combat.
- 1:46:35Speaker 2: So it made me think, well, maybe it's all bullshit.
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: If the military is eating the same pizza and pepperoni
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: that I'm eating at home, then they should be more.
- 1:46:44Speaker 1: No, what's bullshit is the way they treat those people.
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: That's what's bullshit. What's bullshit is the way they take
- 1:46:51Speaker 1: care of them. That's what's bullshit. What's bullshit is the
- 1:46:54Speaker 1: consideration they give to the diet of these people. Right.
- 1:46:56Speaker 1: You're asking these people to make the ultimate sacrifice. That's
- 1:46:59Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You're giving them prison food. That's what's bullshit. Right. Yeah.
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: Diet's not bullshit. Diet's everything. It is literally everything. Like
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: I said, your body has nothing else, nothing else that
- 1:47:12Speaker 1: it can build itself up with other than nutrients. That's
- 1:47:16Speaker 1: all it has. You consume it. If you don't, you
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: starve to death, right? If you don't eat, you starve
- 1:47:21Speaker 1: to death. So- In order for your body to take
- 1:47:24Speaker 1: care of itself, what are you giving it? It's that simple.
- 1:47:27Speaker 2: You drink a lot of water?
- 1:47:28Speaker 1: A lot of water, yeah.
- 1:47:29Speaker 2: You still drink a lot of coffee?
- 1:47:31Speaker 1: I drink less. I've been drinking coffee later in the
- 1:47:35Speaker 1: day now. I've been going through my day and not
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: drinking my first cup of coffee until noon now. I've
- 1:47:41Speaker 1: been doing that a lot lately.
- 1:47:44Speaker 2: You don't need it in the morning to get going?
- 1:47:46Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel like I do. I enjoy it. I
- 1:47:49Speaker 1: indulge if I enjoy it, but I don't like relying
- 1:47:51Speaker 1: on things. having to do things. I don't ever want
- 1:47:55Speaker 1: to have that feeling. So lately I've been like, and
- 1:47:58Speaker 1: I've gone days without coffee, just to see what that
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: feels like. Sometimes I feel a little sluggish, but there's
- 1:48:03Speaker 1: ways you can avoid that too. Like I'll take nootropics,
- 1:48:06Speaker 1: which is a brain nutrients, you know, theanine and acetylcholine
- 1:48:12Speaker 1: and a bunch of different things. Like there's alpha brain,
- 1:48:15Speaker 1: that stuff pumps my brain up and fires it up.
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: It's just, you get addicted to caffeine. Caffeine is very,
- 1:48:21Speaker 1: very addictive. And I feel like if I can get
- 1:48:24Speaker 1: my day going without it, it's probably better. Yeah.
- 1:48:27Speaker 2: I drink a lot less, but I see what you're saying.
- 1:48:29Speaker 1: I love it, though.
- 1:48:30Speaker 2: Oh, it's great.
- 1:48:31Speaker 1: I love a cup of coffee. I love it. I
- 1:48:33Speaker 1: love it.
- 1:48:35Speaker 2: And I landed yesterday, Austin Airport. Like, I needed a
- 1:48:38Speaker 2: coffee so bad. I'd been out partying the night before,
- 1:48:41Speaker 2: early flight. I land, and you just want a cup
- 1:48:43Speaker 2: of coffee before you even start seeing your texts because
- 1:48:46Speaker 2: you don't want to deal. And it's like the first
- 1:48:48Speaker 2: place I go to, it's like there's a long line.
- 1:48:51Speaker 2: I finally get there, and it's like it's a kiosk.
- 1:48:54Speaker 2: And I'm like, I can't kiosk. I need to just
- 1:48:56Speaker 2: tell someone to put coffee in a cup and hand
- 1:48:59Speaker 2: it to me. And I go to another place, and
- 1:49:01Speaker 2: it's like they charge me, and then they hand me
- 1:49:04Speaker 2: a cup and go fill it. And I walk away.
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: I just can't. I get so freaking cranky. And I
- 1:49:10Speaker 2: go to the third place, finally, and it's just like,
- 1:49:12Speaker 2: they give you a cup of coffee. The kiosk and
- 1:49:16Speaker 2: the no employees, it all makes me so mad. I
- 1:49:20Speaker 2: want to talk to somebody. I don't like filling out
- 1:49:23Speaker 2: a computer when I want something.
- 1:49:26Speaker 1: I rarely go to coffee places because I drink black coffee.
- 1:49:30Speaker 1: And black coffee at Starbucks tastes like dog shit. It's
- 1:49:34Speaker 1: all burnt and tastes terrible. It's just not good.
- 1:49:37Speaker 2: I could drink any coffee. You could take old coffee,
- 1:49:40Speaker 2: put it in the microwave, and it's the same to
- 1:49:41Speaker 2: me as.
- 1:49:42Speaker 1: Really?
- 1:49:42Speaker 2: Yeah, an espresso that you're making it.
- 1:49:45Speaker 1: Oh, I like this. See, this is French press. Black
- 1:49:49Speaker 1: rifle coffee. You want some? Yeah. Get in there, dog.
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: That's good coffee. That's real coffee, son.
- 1:49:56Speaker 2: Thank you, brother. That's coffee.
- 1:50:00Speaker 1: Cheers. Taste that. Cheers. Here's another problem.
- 1:50:05Speaker 2: That's good.
- 1:50:05Speaker 1: That's not bad, right? If you get coffee from Starbucks,
- 1:50:08Speaker 1: you're getting it in a paper cup. And if you
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: get it in a paper cup, it's not paper you're
- 1:50:12Speaker 1: drinking out of. It's plastic. Because the inner lining of
- 1:50:15Speaker 1: those paper cups is basically like a condom. Right. Ever
- 1:50:18Speaker 1: seen when they break it down?
- 1:50:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:50:20Speaker 1: Well, if you add hot liquid to plastic, that plastic
- 1:50:25Speaker 1: leaches chemicals into your body that are not good for you.
- 1:50:29Speaker 1: They're called forever chemicals. It's terrible for you. So every
- 1:50:34Speaker 1: time you drink a hot liquid that's in a paper cup,
- 1:50:37Speaker 1: you're sucking on plastic residue.
- 1:50:40Speaker 2: That's gross.
- 1:50:41Speaker 1: We're gross. There's a lot of things that are gross
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: about the American lifestyle. I mean, if you get coffee
- 1:50:48Speaker 1: from Starbucks or something like that, ideally you should bring
- 1:50:51Speaker 1: your own cup. Bring a mug. Bring one of those
- 1:50:55Speaker 1: little Yetis. So it's like pouring right into stainless steel.
- 1:51:00Speaker 1: That's how you're supposed to drink it. But who does that?
- 1:51:03Speaker 1: Who brings a little stainless steel?
- 1:51:04Speaker 2: Not me.
- 1:51:05Speaker 1: Yeti with them everywhere. Not me. Nobody. But if you
- 1:51:07Speaker 1: did that, you'd get a lot less of these fucking
- 1:51:11Speaker 1: microplastics in your gut. It'd also wreck havoc on your body,
- 1:51:14Speaker 1: destroy your immune system, destroy your endocrine system. They're endocrine disruptors,
- 1:51:20Speaker 1: so it stops your body from producing hormones naturally, which
- 1:51:23Speaker 1: also can lead to a host of different diseases.
- 1:51:27Speaker 2: Makes me think maybe Charlie Sheen was right after all.
- 1:51:30Speaker 1: Crack.
- 1:51:30Speaker 2: Smoking crack while getting a blowjob.
- 1:51:32Speaker 1: Yeah. That's how to do it.
- 1:51:33Speaker 2: You don't think he was worried about the plastics in
- 1:51:35Speaker 2: the pipe?
- 1:51:36Speaker 1: Well, there's certain dudes that are built different. I mean,
- 1:51:39Speaker 1: a lot of people that did what Charlie did would
- 1:51:41Speaker 1: have already been dead a long time ago. He's resilient.
- 1:51:47Speaker 1: I do hope somebody puts him in a big movie.
- 1:51:51Speaker 2: I like your idea.
- 1:51:52Speaker 1: I like a good comeback story.
- 1:51:54Speaker 2: Maybe he's due for another roast.
- 1:51:55Speaker 1: I don't know. It'll be hard now. He's all clean, sober.
- 1:52:01Speaker 1: It's like, what did you do 20 years ago? It's like, eh.
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: But now he's kind of doing all right. He looks good.
- 1:52:08Speaker 1: He looks healthy. He looked a lot better than I
- 1:52:10Speaker 1: thought he was going to look. It doesn't look like
- 1:52:13Speaker 1: a guy who's went through 25 years of crack.
- 1:52:16Speaker 2: And he was sick?
- 1:52:17Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. And what did he have?
- 1:52:20Speaker 2: HIV.
- 1:52:21Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. HIV is weird. That's a weird one. Because
- 1:52:26Speaker 1: with the medication they have now, you don't really, you're
- 1:52:30Speaker 1: not even testing positive. But they just tell you you
- 1:52:32Speaker 1: have it no matter what. It's dormant. It doesn't totally
- 1:52:36Speaker 1: make sense. There was a guy named Peter Duesberg that
- 1:52:38Speaker 1: I had on my show a long time ago. And
- 1:52:41Speaker 1: he was a professor out of the University of California, Berkeley.
- 1:52:45Speaker 1: And just brilliant, brilliant guy. Groundbreaking work on cancer. But
- 1:52:52Speaker 1: he had a very controversial take on HIV. And his
- 1:52:55Speaker 1: take was he didn't believe that HIV is what caused AIDS.
- 1:52:58Speaker 1: He said the fact that you have HIV is because
- 1:53:01Speaker 1: your immune system is so severely compromised that HIV shows up.
- 1:53:05Speaker 1: That was his take on it. And he was ostracized.
- 1:53:08Speaker 1: You got to realize, like, during the AIDS crisis, do
- 1:53:12Speaker 1: you know who was the guy that was in charge
- 1:53:14Speaker 1: of the medical establishment in this country? Anthony motherfucking Fauci.
- 1:53:19Speaker 1: Same guy. And that guy had everybody convinced that we're
- 1:53:23Speaker 1: all going to get AIDS, that we're all going to die,
- 1:53:25Speaker 1: and y'all have to take this medication. And one of
- 1:53:27Speaker 1: the medications they gave people was AZT. The problem with
- 1:53:30Speaker 1: AZT was AZT was a chemotherapy medication, and it was
- 1:53:35Speaker 1: killing people quicker than cancer was, so they stopped using it.
- 1:53:37Speaker 1: They repurposed it when AIDS came along, and they started
- 1:53:40Speaker 1: giving it to AIDS people because they didn't have to
- 1:53:44Speaker 1: go through this whole process of, like, getting– a drug certified,
- 1:53:49Speaker 1: getting a drug to go through the FDA. They already
- 1:53:52Speaker 1: had a drug. So they said, well, this drug, this
- 1:53:54Speaker 1: will be the drug we use for AIDS. They fucking
- 1:53:56Speaker 1: killed everybody they put on it. Killed tons and tons
- 1:53:59Speaker 1: of people. When they stopped using AZT, people stopped dying.
- 1:54:03Speaker 1: That's what Dallas Buyers Club was all about. It was
- 1:54:05Speaker 1: all about them trying, that movie with Matthew McConaughey, it
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: was all about them trying to find alternative cures, alternative medications,
- 1:54:13Speaker 1: and being able to access alternative medications. He wanted everybody
- 1:54:16Speaker 1: to use AZT. And he was like, AZT, the reason
- 1:54:20Speaker 1: why they use it is the only drug that is
- 1:54:22Speaker 1: both safe and effective. It's literally what he said back
- 1:54:26Speaker 1: then in the fucking 80s. And that's the same guy
- 1:54:30Speaker 1: that sold us his bag of bullshit with the COVID
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: origins and whether or not it was gain-of-function research that
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: caused it. He's just a creepy fucking guy.
- 1:54:43Speaker 2: We never really got answers on any of this.
- 1:54:45Speaker 1: We will. It'll take time, but we will, and he'll
- 1:54:48Speaker 1: probably be gone by the time it's publicly understood. But
- 1:54:52Speaker 1: if you read RFK Jr. 's book, The Real Anthony Fauci,
- 1:54:55Speaker 1: it'll open your mind. It'll open your eyes. He talks
- 1:54:57Speaker 1: about how they were testing out in the 1980s. They
- 1:55:01Speaker 1: were testing out HIV vaccines on foster kids in New
- 1:55:05Speaker 1: York and killing them. Jesus. Yeah. They tested it on
- 1:55:10Speaker 1: foster kids. Yeah, it's real. If it wasn't real, he
- 1:55:13Speaker 1: would have been sued. He hasn't been sued for it. Wow.
- 1:55:17Speaker 1: It's a dark book, dude. The real Anthony Fauci, I
- 1:55:20Speaker 1: can't recommend it enough. It's a fucking terrifying book. But
- 1:55:22Speaker 1: that's the same guy that was a part of the.
- 1:55:25Speaker 2: Whole AIDS thing.
- 1:55:27Speaker 1: The movie's going to be weird. Who would play Anthony
- 1:55:31Speaker 1: Fauci in a movie? Maybe Martin Short.
- 1:55:35Speaker 2: I think it's another Sean Penn tour de force.
- 1:55:38Speaker 1: Sean Penn was all about the vaccine.
- 1:55:39Speaker 2: Do you miss acting?
- 1:55:41Speaker 1: Not even a little.
- 1:55:42Speaker 2: I was thinking about that the other day. You really...
- 1:55:45Speaker 2: We're in this whole other world, Joe. Call times, makeup, lines, blocking.
- 1:55:53Speaker 1: Well, I enjoyed working on news radio. And it was very,
- 1:55:56Speaker 1: I felt insanely fortunate to be able to work with
- 1:55:59Speaker 1: Phil Hartman and Dave Foley and all those people on
- 1:56:01Speaker 1: that show. Steven Root, Maura Tierney. So many funny people.
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: Andy Dick. It was incredible. Candy Alexander. It was an
- 1:56:09Speaker 1: incredible cast of people. I mean, I felt super, super lucky.
- 1:56:12Speaker 1: But once it was over, I'm like, I don't think
- 1:56:14Speaker 1: I'll ever be able to recreate that because that was
- 1:56:17Speaker 1: like optimal. And I had been on a couple other
- 1:56:20Speaker 1: shows as a guest. I didn't like it. And I
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: was like, this is not what I like. I only
- 1:56:27Speaker 1: did it for money, you know. It's not my thing.
- 1:56:30Speaker 1: And it's a long process, dude. Sitcom hours are, you know,
- 1:56:34Speaker 1: especially in the beginning days. It was like 12, 16
- 1:56:37Speaker 1: hour days.
- 1:56:38Speaker 2: Who wrote that show?
- 1:56:39Speaker 1: Paul Sims and a bunch of other writers. But he
- 1:56:41Speaker 1: was from the Larry Sanders show. You know, and he
- 1:56:45Speaker 1: did Bardwalk Empire after that and a bunch of other stuff.
- 1:56:49Speaker 1: Brilliant guy. But that show was just like, they caught
- 1:56:53Speaker 1: lightning in a bottle. I got so lucky to be
- 1:56:56Speaker 1: a part of that show. And I'm like, I could
- 1:56:58Speaker 1: never be on a shitty sitcom after that. You know,
- 1:57:01Speaker 1: I couldn't be on some fucking, you know. sloppy, canned
- 1:57:08Speaker 1: horse shit show.
- 1:57:08Speaker 2: You went highbrow with Fear Factor.
- 1:57:11Speaker 1: Well, I took that because there was no actors. First
- 1:57:14Speaker 1: of all, I took Fear Factor because I thought it
- 1:57:15Speaker 1: was going to be canceled. I thought this was going
- 1:57:17Speaker 1: to give me a lot of material.
- 1:57:18Speaker 2: It was like Radford forever.
- 1:57:20Speaker 1: 148 episodes. Yeah, it was nuts.
- 1:57:23Speaker 2: Have you seen the new one?
- 1:57:24Speaker 1: No, I haven't. But Johnny came on. Johnny Knoxville came
- 1:57:27Speaker 1: on to do it. I didn't see the ludicrous one either. But...
- 1:57:31Speaker 1: How long did Ludacris do it for?
- 1:57:33Speaker 2: I don't even know that till now.
- 1:57:35Speaker 1: Yeah. Ludacris did it. I think, was it on MTV, Jamie?
- 1:57:38Speaker 1: I think he did it on MTV. MTV did it
- 1:57:41Speaker 1: for a little while. I think he did it for,
- 1:57:42Speaker 1: I don't know how long, but I love Johnny. Johnny Knoxville.
- 1:57:47Speaker 1: He's the best.
- 1:57:48Speaker 2: A true gentleman.
- 1:57:49Speaker 1: Sweetheart of a guy.
- 1:57:50Speaker 2: And I love him so much.
- 1:57:52Speaker 1: I hope it does well. You know, I hope they
- 1:57:55Speaker 1: don't hurt anybody. That's the problem. Like when fear factor
- 1:57:58Speaker 1: came back on NBC, um, When we came back in
- 1:58:01Speaker 1: 2011 and we only did six episodes, they were really
- 1:58:04Speaker 1: trying to make it bigger and better. I was like,
- 1:58:05Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, we're going to fucking kill somebody. It felt
- 1:58:08Speaker 1: like it. It felt like when it was canceled, I
- 1:58:11Speaker 1: was happy. I was like, fuck this.
- 1:58:13Speaker 2: You were done.
- 1:58:15Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, it got canceled because they had a drink come.
- 1:58:19Speaker 1: Do you know that? No. You don't know that? What? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- 1:58:24Speaker 1: They played horseshoes to drink donkey cum.
- 1:58:28Speaker 2: We still talking about Andy Dick at news radio?
- 1:58:30Speaker 1: No, no, no. We're talking about Fear Factor now. Andy
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: only drank people cum. He's a gentleman. But yeah, that happened.
- 1:58:40Speaker 1: That's what got the show canceled. But it's because they
- 1:58:43Speaker 1: were just trying to make it as outrageous as possible.
- 1:58:47Speaker 2: It's like the early, you were right at the beginning
- 1:58:48Speaker 2: of that crazy.
- 1:58:50Speaker 1: This is it. Fear Factor. Donkey Juice. This is it.
- 1:58:54Speaker 1: They had to play horseshoes. and they drank donkey piss
- 1:58:57Speaker 1: and donkey cum. There was three sets of twins, and
- 1:59:00Speaker 1: one twin had to drink the cum. Look at that.
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: That's a mug-o-cum. Oh, my gosh. It's so foul. Wow. Yeah,
- 1:59:08Speaker 1: so TMZ, I think, got a hold of the clip
- 1:59:12Speaker 1: or images and said that Fear Factor was doing this,
- 1:59:15Speaker 1: and it never aired in the United States, but it
- 1:59:17Speaker 1: aired overseas. It aired somewhere in Europe. I want to
- 1:59:20Speaker 1: say the Netherlands or Denmark or some shit. Wow. Yeah.
- 1:59:25Speaker 2: Now you survived.
- 1:59:26Speaker 1: Good times. Good times.
- 1:59:27Speaker 2: Now you're drinking delicious coffee and you're palatial.
- 1:59:30Speaker 1: Hanging out with you, Jeff Ross.
- 1:59:31Speaker 2: I love it, man.
- 1:59:32Speaker 1: Dude, I've known you since you were Jeff Lipschitz.
- 1:59:35Speaker 2: I've known you since your best joke, which was never
- 1:59:39Speaker 2: trust a hooker with a walkie-talkie. You were like 25,
- 1:59:44Speaker 2: but you were like, I've learned a lot of things
- 1:59:46Speaker 2: in my life. I never trust a hooker with a walkie-talkie.
- 1:59:50Speaker 2: Was that the joke?
- 1:59:50Speaker 1: No, it was I went to college for three years.
- 1:59:54Speaker 1: You know what I learned? Don't trust hookers with walkie-talkies.
- 2:00:00Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 2:00:01Speaker 2: You know me since Jeff Lipschultz. By the way, I'm
- 2:00:04Speaker 2: still Jeff Lipschultz. My ID, my passport.
- 2:00:08Speaker 1: Maybe you shouldn't tell everybody. It's all right. We should
- 2:00:10Speaker 1: have hid that.
- 2:00:11Speaker 2: It's at this point.
- 2:00:12Speaker 1: When did you change it to Ross? What year was that?
- 2:00:14Speaker 2: Oh, I could tell you. What happened was I got
- 2:00:19Speaker 2: booked on Star Search down in Florida. Like my first
- 2:00:22Speaker 2: time on TV. You know, we were all starting to
- 2:00:24Speaker 2: get like on MTV and Star Search. Those shows were
- 2:00:27Speaker 2: coming around. And I go down to Orlando where they
- 2:00:31Speaker 2: were shooting it back then. And Ed McMahon was the host.
- 2:00:38Speaker 2: And he kept introducing me by fucking up my, Arch,
- 2:00:41Speaker 2: this week's challenger, Jeff Lipschitz. And I'd walk out. And
- 2:00:47Speaker 2: it would screw me up, you know.
- 2:00:48Speaker 1: Then the next, I'd won.
- 2:00:50Speaker 2: And then the next day it's like, This week's challenger,
- 2:00:53Speaker 2: you know, life shots. You know, he would just screw
- 2:00:55Speaker 2: it up every time. And on the flight home, I
- 2:01:00Speaker 2: was like, I either have to, if I really love comedy,
- 2:01:04Speaker 2: I was like two years in, I go, let me
- 2:01:07Speaker 2: think about this. Ross is my middle name. Jon Stewart
- 2:01:11Speaker 2: was Jon Leibovitz, and he had told me he did
- 2:01:14Speaker 2: it for the similar reasons of like, no one can spell,
- 2:01:16Speaker 2: if I asked you to spell Lifshultz right now, even
- 2:01:18Speaker 2: you couldn't, and you'd know me 35 years. Right, right.
- 2:01:22Speaker 2: So I was like, all right, either I'm going to
- 2:01:24Speaker 2: have to change my name or my whole family's going to,
- 2:01:26Speaker 2: I don't know what to do. So Ross, it just
- 2:01:28Speaker 2: made sense.
- 2:01:29Speaker 1: It's easy. Yeah. Yeah, it's easy.
- 2:01:31Speaker 2: Jeff Ross.
- 2:01:32Speaker 1: What was Ed McMahon like? You know. Did you ever
- 2:01:35Speaker 1: hang out with him?
- 2:01:36Speaker 2: I shook his hand and that was the end of it.
- 2:01:39Speaker 2: I didn't get to know him very well.
- 2:01:40Speaker 1: I heard he was an animal.
- 2:01:41Speaker 2: I heard he drank a lot.
- 2:01:43Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:01:43Speaker 2: But then I made some joke like that and people
- 2:01:46Speaker 2: got mad at me online going, don't disrespect Ed McMahon.
- 2:01:49Speaker 1: Was he gone? By the time you made that joke?
- 2:01:51Speaker 2: Yeah, it was recently because they rebooted Star Search just now.
- 2:01:55Speaker 1: Fuck people online. You can't listen to them.
- 2:01:57Speaker 2: Oh, dude, that's another thing Saget taught me, Bob Saget. Like,
- 2:02:00Speaker 2: block the haters. Like, you know, we would argue about
- 2:02:04Speaker 2: this because, like, he would block people. And I go, well,
- 2:02:07Speaker 2: then they know you saw it. Just ignore them. Let
- 2:02:11Speaker 2: them float out to sea.
- 2:02:12Speaker 1: He goes, no.
- 2:02:13Speaker 2: He goes, no. I want them to know that they're blocked.
- 2:02:16Speaker 2: He goes, and I don't want them following me.
- 2:02:18Speaker 1: I don't want.
- 2:02:19Speaker 2: I don't want to say funny things to people who
- 2:02:21Speaker 2: say mean things. He valued himself.
- 2:02:26Speaker 1: I say don't read the comments. I say don't even
- 2:02:29Speaker 1: pay attention. Let them exist in the ether.
- 2:02:31Speaker 2: Well, you're off social right now.
- 2:02:33Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:02:34Speaker 2: You told me.
- 2:02:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I post things, but I post and ghost. That's
- 2:02:38Speaker 1: what I tell people. Post and ghost. Just post things.
- 2:02:41Speaker 1: It's like people know about stuff or something's interesting. Someone
- 2:02:45Speaker 1: sends you something interesting. People should know about this. Right.
- 2:02:48Speaker 1: That's it. Get out.
- 2:02:49Speaker 2: I got better instead of using social media. Seth Green
- 2:02:54Speaker 2: is my neighbor, a good buddy of mine, the actor.
- 2:02:57Speaker 2: And he started doing this during the pandemic. Instead of
- 2:03:00Speaker 2: texting or liking people's stuff, he FaceTimes. It takes longer,
- 2:03:05Speaker 2: but he's like, it's a real connection.
- 2:03:07Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
- 2:03:08Speaker 2: So he'll FaceTime me and talk to me, just even
- 2:03:11Speaker 2: if it's for a minute.
- 2:03:12Speaker 1: What if you have an Android phone?
- 2:03:13Speaker 2: Then you're fucked. And my friend Benji Aflalo goes... He
- 2:03:17Speaker 2: quotes Brody all the time. He'll text me emojis, a
- 2:03:23Speaker 2: positive and a check. Positive check-in. He would just positive check-in.
- 2:03:28Speaker 1: Positive energy.
- 2:03:30Speaker 2: Positive check-in.
- 2:03:31Speaker 1: God, he was so fun. Here's another guy. He's on
- 2:03:34Speaker 1: my fucking contact list that's gone that I missed.
- 2:03:37Speaker 2: I almost wore my Brody... t-shirt today I was thinking
- 2:03:41Speaker 2: about him a lot lately I don't know why enjoy
- 2:03:43Speaker 2: it enjoy it has there ever been a comedian who's
- 2:03:46Speaker 2: been less famous but more his his cadence has been
- 2:03:50Speaker 2: more like remembered it's almost like him and Dangerfield have
- 2:03:53Speaker 2: the most memorable deliveries of all.
- 2:03:55Speaker 1: Time especially for us for the guys Brody Stevens I
- 2:03:57Speaker 1: don't know if people know yeah for the guys who
- 2:04:00Speaker 1: were around him he was so he was just such
- 2:04:02Speaker 1: a unique dude he would show up at the comedy
- 2:04:06Speaker 1: store and pull into the lot everybody would smile.
- 2:04:09Speaker 2: Oh, when I first met him, I really, truly hated him.
- 2:04:13Speaker 2: I really hated him. It was literally like the mid-90s Joe,
- 2:04:18Speaker 2: like in New York.
- 2:04:19Speaker 1: And I.
- 2:04:21Speaker 2: Can't believe I haven't thought about this in so long.
- 2:04:24Speaker 2: The show that, it's so funny. The show that's coming
- 2:04:28Speaker 2: out tonight, I'd started developing 30 years ago. My grandfather died.
- 2:04:32Speaker 2: I live with my grandfather. And it was like a
- 2:04:35Speaker 2: way to like process it. And it was emotional. And
- 2:04:40Speaker 2: I was doing it at little alternative comedy spaces.
- 2:04:43Speaker 1: In New York.
- 2:04:44Speaker 2: And I didn't know Brody. And Brody would sit in
- 2:04:46Speaker 2: the front. He was obsessed with it because I was
- 2:04:49Speaker 2: like talking about stuff that hit for him somehow. And
- 2:04:53Speaker 2: he would sit in the front, but he would like
- 2:04:57Speaker 2: over laugh or twitch around at a seat. So then,
- 2:05:01Speaker 2: you know, I'm developing this like one man show is
- 2:05:04Speaker 2: like different than standup. And he's like, He would want
- 2:05:07Speaker 2: to talk to me about it, and he would say
- 2:05:09Speaker 2: weird things that kind of threw me off. He would
- 2:05:12Speaker 2: notice the differences. And I said, listen, man, HBO's coming
- 2:05:18Speaker 2: to see it next week. Could you just not be
- 2:05:21Speaker 2: in the audience? He goes, oh, okay, I understand. I'm
- 2:05:25Speaker 2: the guy who bothers you. You don't like me. I
- 2:05:28Speaker 2: get that. I go, no, it's not that, man. It's
- 2:05:30Speaker 2: just that, like, you're like— Brody, 818 till I die.
- 2:05:35Speaker 2: You're distracting me, and I'm not like— you know, I was
- 2:05:38Speaker 2: only doing comedy a few years. So then HBO comes.
- 2:05:43Speaker 2: And Brody, I walk on stage, and Brody's in the
- 2:05:45Speaker 2: front row. So afterwards, I go, dude, what the fuck
- 2:05:50Speaker 2: is your problem? I told you not to be. He's like,
- 2:05:52Speaker 2: there were no other seats. I couldn't miss it. And
- 2:05:55Speaker 2: our friendship grew where we both moved out to L.A.,
- 2:05:57Speaker 2: and we became such good friends that I had a
- 2:06:01Speaker 2: Comedy Central show. He was the warm-up. I had to
- 2:06:03Speaker 2: have him around me all the time. I felt safer
- 2:06:06Speaker 2: and better. I think we both grew together.
- 2:06:09Speaker 1: I was a model in Pakistan. Cover of Camel Beat magazine.
- 2:06:17Speaker 2: I dated an amputee. We met on StubHub. What was
- 2:06:23Speaker 2: the one about the Nickelback tour jacket? I was at
- 2:06:27Speaker 2: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I saw the
- 2:06:29Speaker 2: Nickelback tour. It was in the Lost and Found. I
- 2:06:33Speaker 2: love Brody. Look up Brody Stevens. I heard you talking
- 2:06:36Speaker 2: about him the other day. about his friendship with Zach Galifianakis.
- 2:06:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:06:44Speaker 2: Were you there when they did the memorial at the
- 2:06:46Speaker 2: Comedy Store? No.
- 2:06:49Speaker 1: No.
- 2:06:49Speaker 2: That's a good line.
- 2:06:50Speaker 1: I don't like those things.
- 2:06:51Speaker 2: I was backstage, and Brody's like college baseball coach, high
- 2:06:57Speaker 2: school baseball coach, and all his friends all spoke for
- 2:07:00Speaker 2: like an hour. And then they bring me out, and
- 2:07:02Speaker 2: they go, After hearing all Brody's friends talk for an hour,
- 2:07:05Speaker 2: I'm starting to understand why he killed himself.
- 2:07:11Speaker 1: That's why I don't like those things.
- 2:07:13Speaker 2: It was beautiful.
- 2:07:13Speaker 1: I prefer to mourn people solo.
- 2:07:17Speaker 2: It was beautiful, actually.
- 2:07:18Speaker 1: Well, Brody was a beautiful guy.
- 2:07:21Speaker 2: That's our world. We got to remember these guys.
- 2:07:23Speaker 1: I know. We do. Well, you know, one of the
- 2:07:25Speaker 1: good things about podcasts is, like, the world gets to
- 2:07:27Speaker 1: understand a lot of these people and hear us talk
- 2:07:30Speaker 1: about all these people. I think our world is more
- 2:07:33Speaker 1: understood now in this day and age with the podcast
- 2:07:37Speaker 1: world than I think it's ever been known before. More criticized,
- 2:07:40Speaker 1: but that's part of the process of it. That's normal.
- 2:07:44Speaker 1: But also more understood. People get it. They get it.
- 2:07:48Speaker 2: It's a weird art form. I remember when you had
- 2:07:50Speaker 2: Gilbert Gottfried on. That was great.
- 2:07:51Speaker 1: Gilbert was awesome.
- 2:07:52Speaker 2: I don't think he fully understood what was happening here,
- 2:07:56Speaker 2: but I remember really enjoying your interview with Gilbert.
- 2:08:00Speaker 1: What do you mean you don't think he understood? He'd
- 2:08:02Speaker 1: done Stern. He'd done.
- 2:08:03Speaker 2: Right, but he....
- 2:08:07Speaker 1: This is.
- 2:08:08Speaker 2: Stern is fast and jumping in and Joe, you know,
- 2:08:11Speaker 2: like impressions. This is more of a conversation, which Gilbert
- 2:08:15Speaker 2: in his spectrum thing, you know, it's tough. A lot
- 2:08:18Speaker 2: of yes and no answers.
- 2:08:20Speaker 1: I thought he was great. Yeah. But I loved him,
- 2:08:22Speaker 1: you know, and he knew I loved him. I was
- 2:08:24Speaker 1: always a giant fan of his. So it was like,
- 2:08:26Speaker 1: I think it was pretty easy.
- 2:08:27Speaker 2: I wear a Gilbert Gottfried shirt in the special.
- 2:08:29Speaker 1: That's cool.
- 2:08:30Speaker 2: Ultimate tribute.
- 2:08:31Speaker 1: He was a sweetheart. So sweet guy. So fucking funny too.
- 2:08:36Speaker 1: God damn. That guy was funny. I used to love
- 2:08:38Speaker 1: watching his sets in New York. The best. Especially like
- 2:08:42Speaker 1: in the 90s when no one knew who he was. Like,
- 2:08:44Speaker 1: oh my God, he's such a killer.
- 2:08:48Speaker 2: One of his last times on stage, I was at
- 2:08:51Speaker 2: an improv in Florida and he came with his family.
- 2:08:56Speaker 2: And he came on as a surprise guest. He walked
- 2:08:58Speaker 2: out and he told this long, crazy joke about skull-fucking
- 2:09:02Speaker 2: his dead grandma. So at his funeral, at his funeral,
- 2:09:09Speaker 2: like a year and a half later, I said, Gilbert's
- 2:09:12Speaker 2: comedy was fearless and ruthless and subversive, yet he was
- 2:09:15Speaker 2: so lovable that he could get us to laugh at
- 2:09:18Speaker 2: a joke about skull-fucking a dead person. And then I
- 2:09:21Speaker 2: looked at his coffin and I said, not so funny now, huh, Gilbert?
- 2:09:26Speaker 2: So I love Gilbert.
- 2:09:28Speaker 1: We've had the very unique opportunity to be around some really,
- 2:09:32Speaker 1: truly exceptional people. Rare, rare human beings. And so many
- 2:09:37Speaker 1: of them. We're so rich in our associations with so
- 2:09:41Speaker 1: many completely unusual people.
- 2:09:44Speaker 2: There's one more Gilbert story. One time we were roasting
- 2:09:49Speaker 2: Joan Rivers. I was producing it, and I booked Gilbert.
- 2:09:53Speaker 2: And I'm on the phone. I'm smoking a joint. And
- 2:09:55Speaker 2: I go, I got one joke I like, but I
- 2:09:57Speaker 2: can't do it. He goes, what is it? I go, well,
- 2:10:00Speaker 2: you know, like, Kanye West's mom had recently died during
- 2:10:05Speaker 2: a plastic surgery procedure. It was the background. And I go,
- 2:10:11Speaker 2: Joan Rivers, Gilbert, you know, Joan Rivers, Kanye's mom has
- 2:10:15Speaker 2: a better plastic surgeon than you. And I go, but
- 2:10:19Speaker 2: I can't do that. And Gilbert goes, I'll do it.
- 2:10:24Speaker 2: And that's when I realized I was being a pussy
- 2:10:25Speaker 2: and I had to do it. So I did it.
- 2:10:28Speaker 2: So he pushed me.
- 2:10:29Speaker 1: That's awesome. That's awesome.
- 2:10:32Speaker 2: He's a really special, special guy.
- 2:10:34Speaker 1: We're lucky dudes, Jeff. We really are. We're lucky. And
- 2:10:38Speaker 1: especially now that we know all these people that we
- 2:10:39Speaker 1: just talked about that were amazing and are gone. We're
- 2:10:42Speaker 1: lucky we're still here.
- 2:10:42Speaker 2: Being a comedian is like a backstage pass to the world.
- 2:10:46Speaker 2: You get to see things you never would see as
- 2:10:49Speaker 2: a civilian.
- 2:10:50Speaker 1: It's true.
- 2:10:51Speaker 2: I just went to Qatar, Djibouti, Africa.
- 2:10:56Speaker 1: You went to Djibouti?
- 2:10:57Speaker 2: What were you doing in Djibouti?
- 2:10:58Speaker 1: You did stand-up there?
- 2:10:59Speaker 2: For the troops. Christmas with the vice chairman of the
- 2:11:02Speaker 2: Joint Chiefs. Saw the Patriot missiles that they're using now.
- 2:11:06Speaker 2: I was at two of the bases that just got
- 2:11:08Speaker 2: hit just a few months ago.
- 2:11:11Speaker 1: Wow. That's nuts.
- 2:11:14Speaker 2: You get to see. And when you're with the vice chairman,
- 2:11:17Speaker 2: sometimes you're on. FOBs, they call them, Forward Operating Bases.
- 2:11:21Speaker 2: They don't even tell you where you are exactly.
- 2:11:23Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
- 2:11:24Speaker 2: You're like 80 miles from the Iranian border somewhere in
- 2:11:28Speaker 2: Kuwait or Qatar or Jordan. It's so cool.
- 2:11:32Speaker 1: Wild. You've always done a lot of stuff with the troops.
- 2:11:36Speaker 1: You've been doing that from way back, from like the
- 2:11:39Speaker 1: early 2000s. 2003, my first trip to Iraq.
- 2:11:44Speaker 2: With Drew Carey.
- 2:11:45Speaker 1: Wow.
- 2:11:46Speaker 2: Yeah, he took me in 2003. Saddam was still alive.
- 2:11:49Speaker 2: I went back in 05. I've done probably 100 of
- 2:11:53Speaker 2: those shows all over the world. Wow. It's the best, man.
- 2:11:57Speaker 2: That's why I'm a comedian. That's the best feeling. That's

- 2:12:04Speaker 2: I'm like, thank you, man. Just forget that I'm, like, entertaining.
- 2:12:08Speaker 2: You know, you're doing a show for people who are
- 2:12:10Speaker 2: a star for entertainment. It fills me up.
- 2:12:12Speaker 1: Like, it....
- 2:12:14Speaker 2: It invigorates me. It's just, they're not drinking. They're the
- 2:12:19Speaker 2: best crowds.
- 2:12:20Speaker 1: Right.
- 2:12:22Speaker 2: I highly recommend it.
- 2:12:23Speaker 1: That's awesome. All right, dude. Your special, is it out yet? Tonight. Tonight.
- 2:12:30Speaker 1: Look at you. A Netflix comedy special. Longest special Netflix
- 2:12:35Speaker 1: ever did. You got the Bobby Brown microphone on?
- 2:12:40Speaker 2: I sing. I sing a song in the show.
- 2:12:42Speaker 1: A perfect salty, sweet, sour mix. Look at that outfit.
- 2:12:46Speaker 2: It's a suit of armor, this guy. This guy, poor guy,
- 2:12:51Speaker 2: lost his hands in an explosion.
- 2:12:53Speaker 1: Oh, jeez.
- 2:12:54Speaker 2: I asked him why his wife never got finger banged.
- 2:12:59Speaker 1: Jesus.
- 2:13:00Speaker 2: It's a multimedia show about my family, about resilience, about
- 2:13:04Speaker 2: bouncing back.
- 2:13:06Speaker 1: Are those screens on the back wall, a bunch of
- 2:13:08Speaker 1: different screens? Yeah. And they show different things on them?
- 2:13:11Speaker 2: Yeah, the dogs.
- 2:13:12Speaker 1: Oh, that's cool.
- 2:13:13Speaker 2: You're going to love this show.
- 2:13:14Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll love it.
- 2:13:15Speaker 2: It's about some of the stuff we were talking about,
- 2:13:17Speaker 2: like when you take a hit, getting back up.
- 2:13:21Speaker 1: That's awesome. And what's it called again?
- 2:13:23Speaker 2: It's called Take a Banana for the Ride. When I
- 2:13:25Speaker 2: was an open mic-er, I would take my grandfather to
- 2:13:28Speaker 2: his doctor appointments, and then at night I would go
- 2:13:32Speaker 2: in New York and try to get on stage at
- 2:13:34Speaker 2: the open mics, and my grandfather would give me a
- 2:13:36Speaker 2: few dollars for the bus and tolls and a banana.
- 2:13:39Speaker 2: Take a banana for the ride. Kind of his way
- 2:13:42Speaker 2: of saying, I can't go with you, but I'm there
- 2:13:44Speaker 2: with you on the ride. I just tattooed a banana
- 2:13:46Speaker 2: with my mom's, would write I love you or I
- 2:13:51Speaker 2: miss you and put them in my school lunches. So
- 2:13:53Speaker 2: I found an old letter with her handwriting and made
- 2:13:56Speaker 2: a tattoo. So now I always have a banana. This
- 2:14:01Speaker 2: one Eddie Vedder drew. It says born to roast.
- 2:14:04Speaker 1: Oh, that's cool. All right. It's out now. Ladies and gentlemen,
- 2:14:09Speaker 1: go watch it. Jeff Ross, I love you, buddy. Love you, Rob.
- 2:14:12Speaker 1: Thank you. Good to see you. Bye, everybody.
