I saw that guy pitch in 1989 in Fenway Park playing for the Rangers, and you could hear him screaming after every pitch.
Starting point is 00:01:07 He tore the pitch. His arm would come over, and he'd go, That was like my age. Throwing gas, Paul. Throwing fucking gas. Ken Griffey Jr. I think he wore that. I don't think he wore that.
Starting point is 00:01:24 He wore it with the Reds. Yeah, he didn't always have it, but yeah, he had it. That was his dad's number, I believe. Terrell Davis. Great one. Mile high salute. I was at the game, unfortunately, when his career ended against the Jets when Vinny Testaverde had already lost his fucking Achilles tendon.
Starting point is 00:01:40 He lost it, Paul. He couldn't find it. He cost me $700 on a bet because he stumbled at the two. Marty Brodeur. Martin Brodeur. How do hockey fans rank him all time? The guy played behind the left wing lock
Starting point is 00:01:55 of the trap his whole fucking career during the clutch and grab era. He's got the most shutouts ever. It's because no one can get past the red line. Bernard King. Oh, Paul. Yeah. Finally, a New York Knick. Bernard King, number 30. We had to go through 30 numbers before they brought up one of the Knicks. Jesus Christ, Paul. I know. Henrik Lundqvist. Wow, man.

Mosey's Mooses. Rest in peace, Mosey. Rasheed Wallace. I love Rasheed Wallace. I love Rasheed. Getting the, they should have called him the big technical.

Starting point is 00:03:11 Wore it for the Yankees, Paul. There's another free agent you cunt spot. Jerry Chevers for the Boston Bruins. You ever seen his goalie mask, Paul? No. Every time he needed stitches, he had a little stitches drawn on his mask. It was completely covered. When I was a kid, I thought the whole team autographed his mask.
Starting point is 00:03:35 I thought he was like a fan like me. Orlando Cepeda, Hall of Famer. Oh, yeah, here you go, Paul. Going deep. Going deep into hockey history. Gump Worsley. Wow. Just with that name, Paul, what decade did this guy play?

Starting point is 00:05:10 Bruce Gossett. Kerry Kittles. Seth Curry. I'm going to end there. From Steph to Seth. Jesus, Paul. Well, it's kind of ironic that those are on the list because big news came out today,
Starting point is 00:05:24 and it's unfortunate, but it looks like Steph and Seth's parents after 30 years are calling it quits. And they're, you know, accusing each other stuff. We won't go there. But let me ask you this question. You're married 30 years. Your kids are both successful basketball players. There's millions in the family. You don't really got to worry about money, but you were married that long. Your kids are old and grown up to you. Get back out there. I guess you could date, but would you consider marriage after all
Starting point is 00:06:00 that or no? I think you got to call it a career you got you gotta know when to get it out you gotta gotta know you gotta know when to get out i mean yeah you put 30 years okay dude if you if you get if you get married almost at 30 you put 30 years in you get out at 60 wait what are you doing although dude all of those' homes. You heard about that. The fucking STDs are out of control. No. It's horrible. It's just a bunch of old people banging. It's not a joke, dude.
Starting point is 00:06:34 What? Yeah, they're out there. Put on a little music to get her in the mood. Hey, Maryland! Hey, Maryland! You know I get frisky on polka night. Get in here, Maryland. Did you see the varicose vein on Ethel?
Starting point is 00:06:51 Oh, my God, dude. You can't tell me that they don't have blackout curtains when they're banging. Some of those guys, it's like, dude, you think the horrors of war were bad? How about the two of you naked fucking going at it, dude? I mean, I couldn't imagine like, but to them, they don't care. You know, to us, we picture veins and all that shit to them. They're fucking psyched. It's like jello in their program before bed at nine.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Get a little fucking handy from fucking whatever her name is that's what it is yeah okay let's just get out of this pulse get out of this room open the curtains don't look just get out of here go out the side door oh my god let me take my teeth out uh and uh that's how it ends paul that's how it ends look you're married you had kids yeah everybody said they loved you that you got the card on father's day and this is how it ends uh you trying to tag some fucking 73 year old hoping she doesn't have the clap can you imagine being 77 walking in with your war vet hat with your little medals on it and shit yeah but how do they have stds that's what i want to understand if they're all
Starting point is 00:08:09 they haven't banged in forever who's getting them who's giving them stds all it takes is one of them paul the orderlies go down to the ihop on a thursday night when the fucking medicare checks come in and all those dirty whores are coming by trying to get that get a piece of that medicare check maybe get some pigs in the blanket or whatever you know all it takes is one of them to tag one of them in there and then it's in there and then you know i bet that was in the original script of cocoon and they took it out because hollywood's so afraid to make a truthful movie. Oh, Brimley with the fucking pissing green jumping into the pool. No, you have to. What you have to do is you have to find a chick that was also in something for that many years.
Starting point is 00:09:05 is you have to find a chick that was also in something for that many years and you guys have an understanding like you go to dinner and you lay it out on the table look i like you you like me we had our three decade marriage we had our kids grown we let's just get a house or whatever we'll have fun i like hanging with you we don't have to do the whole fucking legal thing. You know what I mean? And then just see what happens. That's I bet people have done it like that. Yeah. Yeah. Because listen, if you're in your late fifties or sixties and your kids are like in their
Starting point is 00:09:35 thirties late there and you did it all, it's like, what are you going to do? Have a ceremony and then just do the, it's like, you've already done it. You know, do you, let me ask you a question.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Do your kids care? If you get divorced, they're in your late 30s. Do you give a shit? I think the Currys do only because of all the nasty stuff that's going back and forth and being said about their parents. I wasn't talking about them. I'm saying if you were in your 30s, right? Look, if you're a kid and your parents get divorced and it's i wasn't talking about them i'm saying if you were in your 30s right look if you're a kid your parents get divorced it's devastating but if you're in your 30s
Starting point is 00:10:10 yeah if you're in your 20s or 30s and it's not public to everybody and your parents just go hey it's ending it's like yeah i had a friend in school who's like their parents just waited for them to all get out and go to college like it was almost like they knew and then it was like oh yeah so and so they're left they're with other people now and they were like do you care and they were like nah you know because you because you know and i also think kids get a sense at home what's going on kids know it's like a franchise moving second the kids go out it's like the colts leaving baltimore going to indianapolis middle of the night pack the night yeah that was such a pussy move
Starting point is 00:10:53 yeah you should just done in the day we're leaving all right but unless they did it like like all right well we don't want to have a riot we don't want to do it for safety yeah they did it for safety dude because you get did it for safety, dude, because you get a bunch of drunk football fans standing there watching the buses leave. It's not going to go well. Who do the guys, did they get, did they hire Indianapolis people to drive those trucks out?
Starting point is 00:11:15 Can you imagine if it was a Baltimore fan, but he needed the money? Just driving the truck out. Oh, God. I dedicated myself. Why can't choosing the money and the right thing ever be the same. Have you noticed that? If there's a decision to make and there's ever choosing more money or doing the right thing, when is it ever the same?
Starting point is 00:11:40 Yeah, I mean, never. I got one for you. Is there anything worse than seeing a guy in a Brooklyn Nets jersey and the name on the back is Biggie? I saw that at Grand Central Station yesterday. I went down, I did the Jim and Sam show at Sirius and I went to Grand Central and I missed my train. So I had to wait 45 minutes. So I go get a sandwich and a kid is holding a skateboard. He's got a backpack on over his Brooklyn Nets jersey. And the name on the back said Biggie. And it's like, I wanted to say Biggie's a Knicks fan. Rest his soul. He was a fucking Knicks fan.
Starting point is 00:12:21 You know, it's like something I forgot though. fan you know it's like something i forgot though the brooklyn nets before they were the brooklyn nets were the new jersey nets before that they were the new york nets they were the new york nets wow what year and dr j and the aba dr j paid played for him so they finally came back paul ah i did not know that but maybe that'll take a little bit of, you know, because I don't like seeing you as angry as me. No, but just like you're putting a rapper's name on it. It's like I get that he was from Brooklyn and he rapped about being from Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, but like to get a jersey and have it.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Was it a white kid or no? It was a white kid. Ah, then it's bad. The black kid, it's like, all right, again, Brooklyn Pride or whatever. It was a white kid. What it used to be. How weird is it now to see a white kid ah then that's bad the black kid it's like all right again what it used to be bill how weird is it now to see a white guy and you're like where do you live he's like bed sty and it just doesn't even make any sense it's like you live there you can live there yeah it's weird yeah when is it gonna stop paul i i don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:27 I think it'll stop when the Knicks beat them in a series. No, I don't mean that.

Dude, it's like it overlaps like this. Like, like it's just, it's, it's, they're just gigantic human beings, dude. It's really unbelievable, man. And like, when you watch a basketball game,
Starting point is 00:18:57 I remember thinking John Starks was small and then he walked in a room, like walk past me. And I was just like, oh, that's like a fucking tall man. It's just, but he's, you know, he's next to Oakley. He looks like he's 5'8 when he's playing. Yeah, they do. I remember a long time ago I was doing this comedy club in Kansas City. And the backup tight end for the Chiefs, like the blocking tight end came in.
Starting point is 00:19:22 And, dude, he was one of the biggest human beings i've ever seen in my life the next day i go to the game and i watch him blocking on a punt and some guy just hitting him and sending him sailing like three feet away and i'm thinking how big is that other fucking he's like like he looked indestructible i'm like you're looking at the guy like that guy's never going to get hurt in a game yeah then you go to the game and you watch him he's like, like he looked indestructible. I'm like, you're looking at the guy like that guy's never going to get hurt in a game. Yeah. Then you go to the game and you watch him get hit. It looks like, it looked like I got hit.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Dude, those defensive ends we grew up watching. Derek, Derek Thomas, Derek Coleman. No, Derek Thomas, rest his soul. Reggie White, Bruce Smith, obviously Taylor. When you look at the men they threw aside, like it would be like me and you going to a fucking elementary school, they're throwing men around, dude. Men.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Those are 300-pounders, and Reggie White would just use his forearm like a club, and he'd go like that, and a 300-pounder would just go flying. Yeah, dude. Those guys are a whole other thing, whole other thing dude that's why man there should be average side sports seriously dude it's not fun like when i watch a guy seven four dunking and everyone goes oh shit it's like it's like dude he doesn't even jump he like his like toes come this far off the ground it's i know but those six six
Starting point is 00:20:45 guys i know good paul you know something if you weren't big enough too bad your dream died go get a fucking job i'm so sick of everybody having everybody gets to make it now everybody makes it everybody's special everybody's fucking unique it's just like why don't you just accept the fact that you're not good enough and you can't be mediocre and try to exist within that and just realize that your job in the nfl highlight film is to be the guy going like this and then the fucking crowd okay that's who you are you're you're you're in the crowd i want to dunk bill i want to dunk once and for some reason i was taken i was taken from me oh how great would it be to dunk Bill I want to dunk once And for some reason I was taken

Starting point is 00:21:40 And it also makes it really crazy to see Guys like Iverson And guys that were like 5'11", 6 feet That were doing it at that level And I'll tell you, and it also makes it really crazy to see like guys like Iverson and guys that were like five, 11, six feet that were doing it at that level. That's what's really like Shaq was like, dude, I've never seen a guy go into the trees like fucking Iverson. Just how tough he was. Skinny, small.
Starting point is 00:21:58 My buddy stood next to him. My buddy was six one. My buddy stood next to him. My buddy's like, dude, the NBA says he's six foot. He's not. My buddy goes, dude, he's barely like 5'11", and he was a fucking animal. How nuts is that, that he could play with him? I'll tell you what's nuts.

I know what you're doing, and I know what you're trying to do with me. I wasn't trying to do that with you. Oh, okay. Because I took my socks off the other time and the lady said, you just hit 5'8".
Starting point is 00:22:29 I'm 5'8 on the button. All my licenses have said it. I thought you were going at me. I swear to God, Paul. I was not talking about that. Oh, because one time we were talking and you looked at me. I know a guy that tells me he's 6'2".
Starting point is 00:22:44 I'm 5'9 and 3 quarters. This this fucking guy i'm looking at him eyeball to eyeball he goes because i'm six two and i'm trying to think like well maybe he used to be six two when he did the hulk's finishing move you ever see the hulk hulk hogan oh he lost like what do you lose a couple inches yeah three inches in his fucking arms and shit are for a 6'7 guy, and they hang down to his knees. Yeah. That guy could grab anything you want in a room and never get up. His fucking arms are ridiculously long.
Starting point is 00:23:18 But when I saw him at the airport, I was like, I remember this guy used to be 6'7. He looks like 6'4, 6'5, and I found him jumping up and landing on his ass all those years he lost three inches of height he probably had back surgery where they took a vertebrae out to infuse them together all that shit dude they don't they take a vertebrae out they'll they'll yeah they'll what they'll do is they'll now they could take them out the cable stick out then they could take uh you mean a nerf yeah well what they could do phone lines what they could do now man there's there's so much shit they could do but what they do is they'll take the disc out they'll take the disc
Starting point is 00:23:55 out and they'll fuse two together and now they even have plastic stuff where if a disc is degenerating um because i have all those neck issues, that they could actually put, do the things they could do. They could actually put a new plastic disc. It's pretty nuts, but I mean, he wouldn't do that. How nervous are you as a doctor working on somebody's spine? Yeah. One little twitch.

I'll tell you why why because you're too good a person there's a problem but though you're gonna go to bed and sleep at night with those dead bodies on your fucking brain if listen if things are necessary for the betterment of people you got to do what does that mean the betterment of what people mr president it it means first of all, what bodies- Do you find this line of questioning funny, Mr. President? Which, what bodies are you talking about? The bodies you just were blowing up, hypothetically. I would not blow up, but that's the thing with me, though. I'm reasonable. I would talk to the
Starting point is 00:36:18 leader over there and go, look, I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Well, you just said, now you're contradicting your point, Mr. President. No, it's contradicting. It's not a word, Mr. Media Man. I'm not running, though. I'm not the leader of the free world. I think what you've just said is completely inappropriate. Appropriate. No, I would be like, look, I don't want to do this. OK, I could send fucking planes. Okay. I could send planes. Now I can make a phone call and put you people in a world to hurt. I don't want to fucking do that. I don't want to do that to kids. I don't want to do that to women. I don't want to fucking do it. If you don't leave me a choice though. So how do we find a medium? That's what I would say.
Starting point is 00:36:58 Mr. President, why do I have to live my life the way you say it's my country. I'm not telling you how to live. Well, then you got to stop my country. I'm not telling you how to live. Well, then you got to stop fucking torturing your people though, man, showing it on TV. What am I going to do? Oh, what about Hurricane Katrina? You leave all the poor black people on the other side of the bridge. You let the dogs drown. Slavery, genocide of the Native Americans. I mean, didn't the Nazis use your tools to figure out how to get rid of the Jews? Well, first of all, I wasn't in office when that happened. Why don't you clean up your fucking house before you talk about my house? How about that?
Starting point is 00:37:36 Why don't you stay fucking home? First, you're going to talk to me like that. Then I will send the fucking planes. Of course you will. Why don't you come over here with your Air Jordans?

And that's why you can't make an emotional decision.
Starting point is 00:38:09 All it took was one Yankee getting made fun of and you're ready to nuke a fucking planet. Mr. President, how are we doing that? He brought Babe Ruth into this. Babe Ruth is one of the greatest Americans of all time. Oh, shit. Nah, man. You'd be a good president. I could see you being a good president.

Okay. Put some thought into the fucking process. Oh, you're all over the map here. You're saying he ended that shit. No, I'm saying that. I'm saying he ended it, but all the people use it. I said, I didn't like that, but all the people that don't like him use his shit. And it's like, then don't use it.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Oh, but it's convenient for you. Oh, okay. So I'm going to use his shit. But then when he goes up to space, fuck you, Mr. Billionaire. It's like, pick one. Did the guy make your life easier? I think there's a lot of flaws in your theories. Nah.

Starting point is 00:41:44 I'm fucking tired. I'm tired and I'm tired. Dude, you would be done after the first... I'm fucking tired. I'm tired, Paul. I'm tired. You'd be done after the first press conference because the first question you didn't like would start to annoy you. No, no. I would love the press conferences. I would love the press conferences.
Starting point is 00:41:58 You'd get mad though, dude. It'd be the rest. It'd be the meetings. Sitting there, watching that guy who takes his loafers off and he's rubbing his feet together with his dress socks on that's what would drive me nuts but the press conferences i would have a blast at uh why are you guys sitting here acting like i'm running shit i love you know why why you know you know i'm just like I'm a fucking puppet here. Dude, you'd resign. I'm just here to give you a face to get mad at. You'd resign in three months.
Starting point is 00:42:35 You'd resign in 90 days. You'd go, you know what? You would just put your hands up and go, I'm not dealing with these fucking assholes. Good luck. No. Paul, we wouldn't even get there paul i don't i i we we couldn't even run for local office and get elected unless what it is a joke what qualifications do we have
Starting point is 00:42:56 we're anti-social we've both gone in and out of having problems with we've both gone in and out of having problems with substances. Yeah. We love a stick. Yeah. You're like, yeah. We'd win a town. We'd win maybe a local primary or something.
Starting point is 00:43:19 If I got elected, Paul, this is what I would make public schools good again.'d make them great again and i would open up cuba oh i like that vacation to havana i love it no no no that's not for us it's for them it's their country we were wrong all those years ago trying to put best buys and think that's their country it's their natural resources i i dial it all back paul i'd reel in the fucking empire okay reel it in this is me reeling it in i don't know what i'd do once i reeled it in this is why i wouldn't be president that's slogan. Bill Barr, we're reeling it in. I do support the troops.
Starting point is 00:44:10 I support them coming home, standing on our borders. Yeah. Myrtle Beach, Revere Beach, South Beach, Redneck Riviera, Hermosa, Seal Beach. I don't know what it is, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:38 whatever. That'd be great, dude. Just like, oh God, that'd be great to be the mayor of a beach town. Yeah, but even there, you can't get anything anything done because there's always somebody else that wants to do the opposite thing and then they try to get you you know they start sending whores over to your house and eventually you give in do you know how many dreams have died over a hummer one stupid fucking look at look at look at bill clinton he'll never be respected again. Right after that blowjob, he just became a big, pasty guy in slacks. That's all he ever was. Yeah, and it made his voice sound what it should sound.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Before he did that, you were like, oh, a president with an accent like that? Then after he did that, you're like, he did that you were like a president with an accent like that then after he did that you're like yeah that makes sense hey how about we go around back to the rose garden you're like oh there it is there he is there he is i knew i saw that guy at a tailgate come on sweetie just pull pull your skirt up there it is there it is. There it is. Yeah. I mean, listen. I would love to see their holiday cards to each other. I mean, you want to just talk about something that's just been over for so fucking long. Oh, my God, dude. They probably don't even spend.
Starting point is 00:45:57 I would bet they don't spend more than two hours a day together. It's a lot of water under that bridge,ul look at andrew our producer andrew's just gone i don't know yeah like he they might not even live together like they may have a residency that is under the clintons and then they probably just don't even live together dude they probably like you know their daughter chelsea's out married their grandparents now. They don't live together, dude. They don't fucking go on hikes. I don't I couldn't imagine. You don't ever really see them together.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Like unless it's like during a voting election where they show up together. But like they don't know. They don't. You know, I always thought was wild as far as like the level of fame you get when you're one of the two people left running for president. And then you lose. You give the I lost speech. And then the next day, all of the I used to bid about that. All those news trucks just drive away.
Starting point is 00:47:00 It's like the Super Bowl team that loses. Nobody remembers. You have this, right? I don't remember. Well, you remember all the teams that lost because your fucking team was in it every year. But for people that just watch. I also like to think I'm a student of the game. No, but I don't know.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Other than the teams that the Giants went against, I don't know who lost. Like, oh, who lost? That's who. But you know who who won same thing with the presidency you know that howard dean guy that went yeah everybody knew that guy for about 10 minutes gone no he's legendary we're going to arkansas we're going to new mexico and people were like okay his voice just didn't crack he just went yeah he went yeah or something like that so it'd be funny if trucks just started backing out after all right take care it's kind of funny what like what little thing could end your presidency can't your presidential campaign you know mike dukakis
Starting point is 00:48:06 sticking his head out of the tent howard dean going right like little fucking things who was the guy that said you'll never get something on me and then they caught him with a woman on a yacht oh gary hart gary hart he's like go look dig in he was like daring him go look because they never used to because they never used to mess with mistresses mistresses were considered off limits and he was also talking to the mainstream press
Starting point is 00:48:36 and they had never done that sort of national inquirer type shit it was considered beneath them if you can believe it now it's become all of that i actually did i was in a movie about that oh called the front runner okay and he what they found him on a yacht with his mistress right sitting on his lap or something they didn't find him on a yacht what happened that somebody took a picture of him on the yacht with the mistress
Starting point is 00:49:03 and uh i you know what? I forget. I don't know what happened. Yeah, I don't know why you would go like, yeah, I dare you. Come find me. It's like, what do you, why would you? Because they never used to look at, he meant like, you know, I haven't done any fucking backroom deals with mobsters and shit.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Right. That's what he was talking about. And that guy was going to win, it looked like, because you know how it is. fucking backroom deals with mobsters and shit right that's what he was talking about and that guy was gonna win it looked like because you know how it is it was eight years of reagan and then it began all the red ties are the problem let's go blue tie for eight years you know we just just do that yeah um so it was a blue tie guy was coming and you know it would have been him you know which would come down to charisma he was a better looking guy was coming, and it would have been him, which would come down to charisma.
Starting point is 00:49:48 He was a better looking guy. He was going up against George Herbert Walker, Bush there, and he didn't have the charisma. He didn't have that it factor, but then he got knocked out, and then Dukakis came in, and Dukakis had less of it. And then he got another four years. I don't think you could be really ugly. Like you could be a four or like not the greatest looking guy,
Starting point is 00:50:15 but I don't think you're going to win the presidency. If you're a fucking, just an absolute fucking, you know, I, you, you, you, to be that Trump was kind of a shit show.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Yeah. But no, I'm talking like, yeah, I mean, but no, I'm talking like. Yeah, I mean. Obama sort of looked like a kind of a dork. George Bush was all right. Clinton looked like a goof. There's never been like a James 007 president.
Starting point is 00:50:41 Just a motherfucker. JFK. JFK was the best looking president. Okay, there you go. JFK was the closest one. Yeah. I mean, Reagan looked weird because he had those fucking rosy old man cheeks, and then he had the Fonzie haircut. It was like jet black.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Jimmy Carter was a mess. Gerald Ford was a good looking dude. He just lost the roof a little bit. He was a Michigan football player. Nixon was weird looking a little bit. He was, you know, Michigan football player. Nixon was weird looking a little bit. Nixon was a weird looking guy. Yeah. Lyndon Johnson looked like a retired state trooper.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Eisenhower, he was all right. Truman looked like a worm. FDR looked like he was going to keel over. Herbert Hoover, I mean, yeah, that guy looks like he should have been selling peanuts before a baseball game. Thirties.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Yeah, dude. I had a lot of fucked up looking people being president. Let's look at it. I'm talking. Let me, let's look up. Oh,
Starting point is 00:51:38 give me a top five. We can even name top five. Best looking presidents. JFK. Presidents of all time. All right. Oh, my God. It actually exists.
Starting point is 00:51:59 The hottest U.S. presidents ranked. Can't imagine the spam I'm going to get after this. All right, let's see. What do we got here? Number one, JFK. Yeah. Number two, Ronald Reagan, but they show a picture of the guy from the 1950s.
Starting point is 00:52:16 That's not fair. Right. It's got to be winning an office. Number three, Barack Obama. I sort of see it, but his ears are too big too big takes it down george herbert walker bush i mean the guy's got an incredible story george w bush look at the bushes you know what they're doing is they're going back picking like their high school photos ulysses s grant yeah you can't do that. FDR? Come on.
Starting point is 00:52:50 Even when he was young, he looks like that fucking guy from one of those Brat Pack movies. Rutherford B. Hayes? This is bullshit. Yeah. I disagree with all of that. You know why, Paul? Because I'm fucking reasonable. There you go.
Starting point is 00:53:01 Reasonable. A reasonable man. I think it's time this country had somebody who is fucking reasonable and i'm that fucking reasonable person for you i'm paul verzi fucking reasonable would get votes dude no i just want to watch that over and over again. You go, fucking reason I'll get votes. Then you nod with confidence, and I don't say anything,
Starting point is 00:53:31 and all your confidence goes away, and you just go, no? Did you ever run for shit like that? Did you ever run for, like, school, class, anything? I never did. Paul, I never wanted to be part of anything i didn't and it's not it was not because i didn't want to be i used to fantasize about being out in front of everybody i was abused paul like most comics i was abused as a kid so at that point i didn't like people if i'm not away from people if i'm away from people no one can hurt me so the last thing i
Starting point is 00:54:03 wanted to do was get out in front of a group of people and if elected yeah no i mean i did i didn't go to my high school reunion have no desire no fucking desire i went to a high school reunion yeah i got no desire for that dude i love the people i went i had a great class man great i had a great class, man. Great. I had a really fucking mellow, great class. The class that graduated before me and after me were fucking lunatics. Lunatics. Kept the cops very busy. Very busy. We were like sort of happy drunks.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Like in my grade, like the football football players we all just everybody just started hanging out that just a circle of people that would we used to drink down on this this place this industrial park and just it was just like every week a new social group of people came in yeah like the athletes the uh the background people the burnouts the smart kids next thing i remember was just sort of like it just became like this giant sea of drunks. No, I look back, it was actually, it was kind of, it was really nice. I think that's why, like, when I look back, like, there was, there wasn't one person that I hated in my grade. Oh, God, I had a big, I mean, I, listen, I didn't care for, I didn't care about the kids. I was friends with who I was friends with. I just hated school.
Starting point is 00:55:26 I was very distracted. My mother moved me that one time we moved like during a crucial part. And that was really tough and meeting new friends. So sports went out the window because I just wanted to get be have friends. And then I dated girls and I was fucking drinking, doing stupid shit. And as soon as the class sounds like me. You were crushing it. Yeah, but. Girlfriends, you're playing sports.
Starting point is 00:55:49 You had friends. Yeah, but I hated the actual hours of school, dude. Oh, I know. That was the worst. I had to be in homeroom at 717 was homeroom. So like. I still drive by my high school and I was back in my hometown a few weeks ago. I drove by my hometown and one of the
Starting point is 00:56:05 high one of the it was building a b and c i remember building a i'd be sitting there on the first floor and i would just be looking out at the street just thinking like if i just fucking i just remember just looking out being like that's it right there that's i could just walk out there why can't i just walk out there right now and just walk away from all of this i fucking hated it and and and one of the things that i i loved about the privilege of becoming a comedian once you quit your day job you quit your day job but then you know you got the work of like trying to make a name for yourself but like now like you make a name for yourself you can sell tickets and as long as you bring it people will keep coming to see you
Starting point is 00:56:48 hopefully yep um and you can do whatever the fuck you want to do i like the fact that i can get up whenever i want to i can't now because i got kids but all those years if i went to bed at four in the morning and i needed eight hours sleep I would not get up until noon that I could actually do that no nothing better there isn't there's nothing better than that dude yeah even like no matter where you get in this business how fucking fun it is to be a comedian if you can just allow it and not and not get involved in competing with other people and all of that shit if you just get into the fact that you can go down to a club and do 20 minutes, make people laugh, and then people say, hey, great job, every fucking time, unless you're bomb. And then you get to hang out with all these fucking people laughing your ass off, eating some wings.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Incredible. Incredible. It's actually ridiculous it's it's and that part of your career is actually the most fun and the freest i think you'll ever be that they'll allow you to be as a human being unless you just literally go off the fucking grid but then those people go off the fucking grid now it's like you know you gotta worry about hunting every day yeah but i think what you said is is uh i think we find it we're fortunate enough to find it because there's somebody out there right now probably listening to this podcast who's like i'm still at the fucking thing i don't want to be doing and um dude this ufc fighter guy said the dopest shit ever. He said, he said, if you could be, he said, if you could just get comfortable with the uncomfortable, nobody could fuck with you.
Starting point is 00:58:33 He goes like, like he said, you have two lives. He said, and the first one is when you realize like that you, you, you just have one shot, you know? And then he goes, and then that one, and then you got to live that one. Once you realize, once you come to the realization that, like, you got that shot, and then he just said, dude, be comfortable with the uncomfortable, and he was just, like, untying his thing, and he goes, like, if you could be comfortable, uncomfortable, like, who could fuck with you? Like, nobody could fuck with you man and it's it's really true but we found something that was uncomfortable at first but it gave us freedom dude and it's like like you said it's it's uh it's you know it just pissed me off when

But I'll probably have like five or six.
Starting point is 00:59:47 I'd like to give something. And he just goes, I like how you're asking. Like, I couldn't get my own. And I want to be like, like, I know you could get your own. I know you could get your own. I'm saying I'm going to get fucking 12 of them. And I want to give you some, you dumb fuck. You're not on stage right now you

Starting point is 01:00:37 See this. The second one begins when you realize you have one. So there's going to come a point in your life where you're like, I don't know. I got a way to go. That's dope, right? No. uncomfortable. You're not even getting comfortable with the uncomfortable. Who the fuck's going to touch you now? You know what I'm saying? That's dope, right? No. I felt he danced around the whole fucking thing. I didn't know what he was talking about. What do you mean? What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:01:21 What didn't you like about that? He made a great point. If you know how to apply it. I mean, he's an MMA fighter, so he probably is going about it that way. But I think that that's a light. If you know how to apply that,
Starting point is 01:01:34 there's a lot of shit that I'm uncomfortable with that I don't want to get comfortable with. Well, I don't think he means go start swimming with sharks. I think what he's saying is the shit that you kind of avoid, that's a weakness in your life. If you could walk into that, then- I don't know, Paul.
Starting point is 01:01:52 Maybe I'm too fucking dumb over here. Maybe I need a little more. No, it's just one of those things where I was waiting for the- I almost understood what he was saying. I thought- Whatever he's doing, it's working for him. But I just wish he explained it a little slower for someone like me. I just kept thinking, here it comes. I'm going to get it.
Starting point is 01:02:15 He's building to a point, and then it just fucking ended. When you said he was dancing around it, though, what did you think he was dancing around? He was sitting around, and one day he woke up like, fuck, I got to fucking do something. He was dancing around it, though. What did you think he was dancing around? Yeah, sitting around, and one day you wake up like, fuck. I got to fucking do something. That seemed a little understated for a profound moment in your life where you're kind of like, I need to.
Starting point is 01:02:37 I don't know, Paul. Paul, don't send me philosophical shit. I mean, if he's not going to fucking say what he's thinking, you know, get comfortable with the uncomfortable. Then who can fuck with you? Like, and now you're done talking. I have to unwrap that. What the fuck is that?
Starting point is 01:02:55 And at the end, he just goes, you know what I'm saying? But I actually, I actually, I actually thought that I think the uncomfortable is, I think it's kind of what Jim Carrey was saying in that commencement speech, where he was basically going like, you can get that paycheck where you got medical benefits and you're paying your bills in your car and you're getting by with your fucking food budget. Or you could fucking jump into something that you don't know what the waters are going to be like, but the reward is good. That's what I took from it.
Starting point is 01:03:26 Hey, I'm a reasonable man. Paul, you're fucking reasonable. I'm not saying what he said was wrong. I'm just saying that I have a habit sometimes, Paul, as I think the thought for like three minutes, and then I start talking to somebody like they've been listening to my thoughts for three minutes. That's what I felt like.
Starting point is 01:03:47 Okay, so you felt like... In defense of the guy, he seemed like he'd been talking for a while. Right. And then somebody just who had watched all of that took just the ending and then puts it out there. And I just felt like I was trying to catch up the whole time he was talking.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Well, he actually started with saying you have two lives. And one is when you wake up and realize, oh, fuck, I can't be like, you know, mediocre. That's what I took from it. But hey. But he didn't say that. But no, you say that, then I get it. But what was the other life?
Starting point is 01:04:24 The other life was you looking out the window saying I could just walk out there. He didn't say that. I said that. Right. But that's what he's saying the first life is. Well, I'm just like, who's on first? What is the second life? Actually walking out there.
Starting point is 01:04:42 The thing you thought of when you said, I don't want to fucking be here. I want to go walk out there and be free. He's saying that's the second life. That counts as two lives. That isn't all one thought. I don't want to be here. I got to get the fuck out of here. And then when you fucking make the decision to get out of here, then you're living the life you want to be shit. I should have got comfortable and comfortable and opened that window and jumped down in those hedges. That fucking...
Starting point is 01:05:17 Dude, what would you do if that comic said that to you? I love how I can't buy my own win. I would do what you did. I wouldn't have said anything and then years later be like, you know what I should have said? I should have said, fuck you i love how i can't buy my own i would do what you did i wouldn't have said anything and then years later be like you know what i should have said i should have said fuck you you cunt yeah you never you never say you know what's underrated paul uh having the ability to say exactly what the fuck you're thinking in the moment i know which is easy to do as a comedian because there's no ramifications what'd you say hey why don't you go yourself everybody's gonna laugh who gives a nobody cares but when it really counts paul all right when
Starting point is 01:05:49 you're in dollar renna car and you get some douche behind the counter that doesn't like their job and starts taking it out on you all right but they got this power over you paul they got the keys to that hyundai sonata that you want right so you just got to take more than you want to take and then you drive out to take more shit than you want to take. And then you drive out of that parking lot muttering, already muttering, and you're going to carry that, Paul. No, you know what I'm going to say to him? You're going to carry it out, Paul.
Starting point is 01:06:12 I can see you squinting your eyes. You're squinting your eyes. You're thinking about all the times that you took more than you should have. Paul, you got two lives, okay? You got that moment when you walk up to the dollar rental car and you think that you're not going to meet a cunt, and then you think, whoa, this guy is a fucking cunt. And that's when it's time to not be fucking reasonable.
Starting point is 01:06:36 You got to tell him that what he did was not appropriate and that you will never be sharing wings with him. Oh, fuck. You fucking cunt. Yeah, that was brutal. I always picture just reaching over and going Joe Pesci in Casino. Except just I always picture grabbing him by the tie and just slamming their head down so their chin hits the desk
Starting point is 01:07:01 and they get knocked out. I do like the idea of stabbing someone in the neck with a pen and then be like what is that hear that paul what is that is that a little girl what do you hear frankie was a little girl you know dude i i did that i did that in the van you stabbed a guy in the neck in a van in in in montreal yeah and i know i was long story short i come home from a gig i get a phone call from a woman and she says to me, I'm not going to mention names. She says to me, but I'll mention the comic I worked with. She goes, Hey, are you still with Dom? I was working with Dom Herrera at Atlanta Punchline. Apparently
Starting point is 01:07:37 I'm home and he's at a casino. And she says, yeah, he's having trouble with his computer. Do you think you could go to his room in the casino? I said, oh, ma'am, I'm sorry. I said, I'm actually home now. I just worked with him in Atlanta. I'm not working with him anymore. She goes, oh, I'm so sorry. And then she goes, by the way, I help manage Dom, but I also own this club in Texas. Blah, blah, blah. If you ever want to come, blah, blah, blah. All this nice stuff. Right. you ever want to come blah blah blah all this nice stuff right so then i say let me call this lady in a month try to get a fucking gig so i call her up and i say hey i don't know if you remember as paul verzi i worked with dom you actually asked if i helped her oh yeah i said yeah i said i'd really loved it she goes well now why would i book somebody that's not really local right now to to feature and uh i go oh you kind of told me she goes now we have a lot of she goes we have a lot of great talent we have a lot of great talent here locally so like why would i do that really cold and rude and like was so nice when she needed my help right fast forward

Other comics are in the back and I'm going to do a practice for a TV set I'm doing. And she was one of the people that takes notes and she sits in, she sits next to me. Everyone's packed in there. I don't know what came over me. I just didn't care. Cause this was like, now I was headlining and I was like my third time in Montreal. And she I just didn't give a fuck. And she goes, hey, you know, I'm going to be reviewing your thing tonight. My name is so and so. And I go, no, I know who you are.

And shit, Paul went out the window and started walking down the street. And I was that was my second life. And I said, I said, yeah, you were really rude to me, man. I called up and you were like and she just was like, oh, my God, I'm so and everybody in the car. And I was like, oh, you know, whatever it is, what it is. But it bothered me. And you're like, you were nice once and then you weren't. And I just fucking look forward, dude.

Starting point is 01:10:15 There's no coming back. No, there's no coming back. And then I'm going to get bigger than you and tell stories like this. And you're going to be fucking sitting there hopefully one one day, knowing that it comes back to you. That's the way to win. Anybody, you know how you win? You fucking win by success, and you win by knowing who you are and being confident and being comfortable with the uncomfortable.
Starting point is 01:10:36 Paul Verzi, fucking reasonable. Yeah. Have you ever had a moment where you actually told somebody, no, dude, you were a fucking asshole in that moment. I don't have many. Not without saying it like that. And then I become wrong. What was great about what you did was you kept your cool and you didn't drop any F-bombs. Right. Even though you were thinking you're a cunt, you didn't say you're a cunt. So all of my stories are like that. I say, I say it, you know, the wrong way.
Starting point is 01:11:09 Yeah, if you drop an F-bomb or the voice raises, same thing in your relationship. It's like, Paul, I've been in the basement forever. We're never going to have a winning record when it comes to shit like that. But you know what I need to do, Paul? I need to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. I need to learn how to tell somebody to go fuck themselves without actually saying that you are the baltimore orioles of the east
Starting point is 01:11:32 when it comes to you are just in the basement that is so sad that you picked that they were such a great team when i was growing up i i fucking always never like i never hated the orioles but dude every year you look in the East, dude, I think they just lost 18 straight. I mean, they're like, dude, they're on like they're on a level of like it's brutal, dude. It's how about my Yankees, by the way? Eleven in a row. Just climbing, climbing. I read socks.
Starting point is 01:12:02 I guess this year what we were really trying to do was just wait for Sale to get back and then next year we're supposed to, you know, somebody's like, we'll get Clayton Kershaw or something. I don't know. But it was hard watching you guys beat us three games in a fucking row. I'm just hoping, you know, I'm really hoping somebody knocks you guys out, Paul.
Starting point is 01:12:20 I'm not going to lie to you. I don't like you guys. I get it. I don't like you guys. I it i don't like you guys i'm being i'm being honest about it okay yeah well yeah you're a little passive-aggressive with your hatred of boston sports no it's not true it is it is true no no i know i like this guy i like that guy or whatever no no you know and then you know so yeah we really fucked him in the ass you know whether you win oh i said one fight you get. Oh, I said one thing to you.
Starting point is 01:12:45 Get all. Yeah, you do. You do, Paul. You get hostile. You get hostile. You're right. Paul, when you're full of shit, you squint. No.
Starting point is 01:12:52 When your feelings get hurt. No. Or you're being full of shit, your eyes squint. You were just squinting. No. Am I wrong? You weren't just squinting? I have no problem with the Celtics or the Patriots.
Starting point is 01:13:05 And I definitely have a hatred for the Red Sox. I mean, there's nothing. It's the same way. You don't hate the Knicks, right? You know, you've never been like, fuck the Knicks. I don't care about the Celtics or the Patriots. I have a hatred for the Red Sox and, and the Cowboys and the Lakers in a way, which is weird. I don't know why the Lakers thing was me. Something happened. Something happened along the way where I don't know if it was the Shaq and Kobe.
Starting point is 01:13:31 I think it was the Shaq and Kobe thing where when they, and Phil Jackson. That whole thing was, that was the beginning of the pylons, which for some reason Lakers fans don't see. They look at it like the Boston big three was not a reaction to what the fuck they were doing because they were showing like it's like when the Red Sox had 180 million dollar roided up free agent team we didn't want to do that Paul that's what we had to bring to the party because you guys were doing it you guys were spending 200 fucking million what were we supposed to do Paul bring a knife to a gunfight no keep up with the joneses i get it that's right and what all of a sudden the astros bring out a fucking trash can
Starting point is 01:14:10 and then because what because they can't expect they can't afford to spend 200 grand they had to go home depot well i think they did a little more than a trip i think they didn't have like wires on their neck those guys like half of those guys were robots. Oh, stop it. Listen to the Yankee fans complaining about the fucking Astros cheating. It's a joke. Come on. The shit the fucking Red Sox and Yankees did at the turn of the century. $200 million roided up free agent teams coming up with no necks. Crushing balls.
Starting point is 01:14:40 God, using the Kansas City Royals as a triple A team. Get the fuck out of here. Quit your whining the astros championship was legit they finally got out got themselves a couple of choppers and they cut some people in half good for them i say good for them all right dude these fucking cunts are on the sideline now with ipads and shit i know i don't like when i don't like that they do this thing, when the guy's coming up, they flip something and they're like,
Starting point is 01:15:06 Oh, there's the scouting report. It's like, what happened? You do that when you're taking a test in high school, can you lift up your little fucking thing and do that? No, it's a great,
Starting point is 01:15:14 no, you cannot. You would be called cheater. You would call cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater. That's a great point. I don't like it.
Starting point is 01:15:20 I don't like when a comic goes on there, by the way, never did it. It's part of my OCD. Paul, would you get all the biggest guys on your block to go play a bunch of eight-year-olds down the end and then have a championship parade for yourself? No. Would you feel like a champion? No. No, you would not. But I wouldn't go on stage with a legal pad or my phone.
Starting point is 01:15:41 Never done it. It's cheating. it's cheating the crowd it's cheating yourself what making a set list set list is one thing i'm talking about like these comics that go up there oh what's the other thing i want to talk about is yeah what do you guys think about like so that's a set list i don't know man i'm not for that paul listen nothing scares nothing scares a guy like you like a pen and a piece of paper let's be honest paul you were not a guy looking forward to the first day of school other than the chicks you wanted to bang and the guys you wanted to hang let's be honest paul paul let's be honest academia you go into a. Academia. You go into a club. It's not your strong suit.
Starting point is 01:16:27 You go into a club. People paid a ticket to see comedy. I know if I'm sitting there and the guy goes, hold on a second. Go and change the subject like Paul Verzi. So what do you guys think of this? Come on, man. Don't do that. Crowd deserves better.
Starting point is 01:16:41 Be prepared. Hey, you came to the club on a Tuesday night. All right. If you're coming on a showcase fucking night, you're going to see comics working on their acts. They didn't come down there to see me. You go to a Paul Verzi show and Paul Verzi shows up, you know? Oh, you definitely can't do it on a special.
Starting point is 01:17:04 With a pair of fucking ponies. He doesn't even wear his Air Jordans. He shows up, you know. Oh, you definitely can't do it on a special. With a pair of fucking ponies. He doesn't even wear his Air Jordans. Only has on one gold chain, and he's fucking looking at a bunch of notes. Yeah, you should have had your act together by then. I love what Don Rickles said. Don Rickles was at John Stamos' 50th birthday, and Rickles is going, he's talking about roasts.
Starting point is 01:17:27 And he's got his head down. And he goes, he had never used notes either. And he pointed to somebody. Everyone, oh, shit. It's the other thing. These guys at roasts, they go up, 27 roast jokes that everybody roasts for them. And it's just like, I don't like that. I like, go with your shit. Paul, a roast is a different thing.
Starting point is 01:17:44 Because everybody's going up doing the same subject. Right, that makes sense. You can't fucking really work the shit out. You're doing it the first time. Dude, what about the fucking president? He's fucking sitting there with it. He can't memorize that shit? Speech somebody else wrote?
Starting point is 01:18:00 No, it's true. You back in America, Paul? Is that what you're doing here? When I'm president, I wouldn't have a prompter. I'm going freestyle. I'm going off the cuff, dude. I'm going off the cuff. Thank you guys for coming, American people. I appreciate everything. We're in a crisis now with a pandemic. I want you to know we got the best minds working this, okay? We're going to do everything in our power to make you and your family safe. I got the best doctors here. Okay. We got the best scientists working day and night
Starting point is 01:18:29 to put this thing to an end, to change this virus. If any of you guys have questions, I'm going to answer them as honestly as I can. I have a question. Yeah, go ahead. Mr. President, how are you going to change the virus? Well, we don't know if we could change it, but we think we could slow it down. And we think that we can have something. You just said you were going to change it. That's why I got confused. You're going to change it into what? Something that wasn't contagious? Well, I don't use a prompter like everybody else. So I'm sorry for that misunderstanding. What I meant was. You feel because you don't use a prompter, you're better than other
Starting point is 01:19:02 presidents that we've talked to before? Maybe not better, but a little more honest and reasonable. Paul Verzi is a fun one. I'm tired. Olympian, presidential candidate, headlining comic. I'll tell you, Paul, you got a lot of clubs in that bag. Found out today I got a hernia. What?
Starting point is 01:19:34 Went to the doctor. I was like, dude, my groin's a little fuck. He goes, all right, lay down. He just goes, I knew I had something because he goes in my groin to like
Starting point is 01:19:43 not my balls, like my groin and my like next and he goes cough and I go and he goes to the next one and I go, he goes in my groin too, like not my balls, like my groin and my like next. And he goes cough and I go and he goes to the next one and he goes cough. I go and he goes to the where the problem is. He goes cough and I go and he goes, oh, and I knew that I knew. And then he goes, I feel you got a little hernia. There's nothing. I don't think anything to, you know, we have to just, you know, we'll keep an eye on it. But like, it's really small. What is a hernia?
Starting point is 01:20:06 A hernia is when kind of tissue breaks through the, I guess the way I was described it is that there's like tissue and fat in your skin or, and it just starts to protrude out a little bit like that. Well, why don't I do us both a favor? Why don't I just look it up? It's tissue protruding for sure. Final answer. Yes. is both a favor when i would just look it up huh it's tissue protruding for sure final answer yes some sort of tissue or fatty thing protruding answer final answer what is a hernia yeah a hernia happens when an internal organ pushes through a weak spot in your muscle or tissue. There are several types of hernias that can, you
Starting point is 01:20:47 can experience including in guinal hernias, femoral hernias, umbilical hernias, and hiatal hernias. If you have a hernia, it's important to get it treated quickly. So it's an organ, Paulul pressing through muscle or tissue that has become weak you said it was tissue pushing through all right well mine is in mine is a groin so i don't know what organ is there but i got that i think it's your dicks coming through uh your ball sack there. All right. Wikipedia. Let's go reasonable here.
Starting point is 01:21:28 Wikipedia. Reasonable. A hernia is an abnormal exit of tissue or an organ. So you're all right. Such as the bowel through the wall of the cavity, which it normally resides. Hernias come in one number of types. Oh, my God. Risk factors for the development of a hernia include smoking you can get a hernia through smoking oh fuck chronic obstructive pulmonary disease obesity pregnancy peritoneal dialysis collagen vascular
Starting point is 01:22:03 disease and an appendectomy oh disease, and an appendectomy. Oh, yeah. I had an appendectomy. That's how I got a fucking hernia. Oh, brother. I haven't had a cigar in eight days, Paul. Dude, every doctor asks, you smoke? Like, it's just so.
Starting point is 01:22:19 But they mean cigarettes, by the way. They don't, Paul. No, listen. I talked to my doctor. My doctor said an occasional cigar well i got life insurance just smoking cigars how much more it was was ridiculous no listen paul you can either listen to the fucking truth or you can say doctors don't know what they're talking about it's fake news you
Starting point is 01:22:46 could be one of the other any doctor in any doctor in the world will tell you an occasional cigar is way better than smoking a pack of cigarettes a day that's a fact okay paul that's like any doctor will tell you doing a bump is way better than shooting heroin. Right. Okay. Well, yeah. You're comparing it to fucking heroin. I mean, none of it's good.
Starting point is 01:23:15 That's what I'm saying. Yeah. You know why he came to that conclusion, Paul? Because you're fucking reasonable. I'm reasonable. You're reasonable. Listen, Paul, I don't understand. You know, if there's anything I'm going you're reasonable listen Paul I don't understand you know if there's anything
Starting point is 01:23:28 I'm going to ask God if that ever happens I'm just going to be like dude what the fuck why why why the brussel sprouts make me thin
Starting point is 01:23:40 but cookies make me fat I mean what kind of a fucking sick joke was that? I know. Or does the devil make cookies? He's going to say temptation. That's what he's going to say. You know,
Starting point is 01:23:56 I don't mind. I can't ask you a question, Paul, if God's fucking God, right. And he can do anything he fucking wants to. Why does he just get rid of the devil? Um, I mean, right and he can do anything he fucking wants to why does he just get rid of the devil um i mean there's got to be yin and yang right you got to have both says who i mean i think if they you know i think god outweighs the devil
Starting point is 01:24:18 but you got to have a villain yeah for, for a good story. I'm saying if this is real. The devil was just an angel. How, all of a sudden, did he rise up to the point of something God has to deal with? It's the typical story of a villain. He was disgruntled. He was disgruntled. I'm not talking about Sid Fields, how to write a fucking script. I'm saying if this shit is actually true
Starting point is 01:24:46 you're fucking breaking down the next fucking Fast and Furious you need a good villain how are we going to go three seasons with this shit we need a hundred episodes we got to have a villain that would be the one thing you would ask God that's what you would ask God
Starting point is 01:25:04 you would go why can't I have a cookie but I can have Brussels sprouts I would be like where the one thing you would ask God. That's what you would ask God. You would go, why can't I have a cookie, but I can have Brussels sprouts. I would be like, where the fuck are you getting off judging me for what the fuck I did after what happened to me by the fucking cunts that you made, that you made your work, douchebag, your work that you take no fucking responsibility for.
Starting point is 01:25:19 You made serial killers. You made pedophiles. You made sociopaths. You made all of that shit. Look what you did with the fucking animals. Look at the fucking rabbit, Paul. Dude, he would not be happy with your
Starting point is 01:25:33 approach at the pearly gates, dude. I know where I'm going anyway, Paul. Might as well get my money's worth. No. You can't go up there like Bobby Knight out of the gates. of the gate fuck fuck how i'm coming at him paul answer those questions if there's a god paul why does he make pedophiles uh that's a great question why does he make sociopaths why does he make planes crash i get it i get it it's a it's get it. It's a great question.
Starting point is 01:26:06 It's a great question. Paul, I'll give you this as a guard, but not one who cares. He's bored. He set this whole fucking thing up to watch us go at it. Look at animals, Paul. Look at animals. Predator, prey. animals predator prey yeah why is there a rabbit ever do to anybody to deserve the fucking life it has yeah no fucking bunny rabbit little stupid white tail on its ass hopping around fucking
Starting point is 01:26:41 buck teeth okay nothing it Goddamn snakes and hawks and fucking stoats, all these goddamn fucking varmints coming up just eating a thing alive. And all they can do to survive is try to out-fuck their slaughter. That's their lot in life, Paul. People cutting their feet off
Starting point is 01:27:01 so they can have good luck. Tie-dyeing their feet different colors to match their fucking T-shirts. Yeah, but you could go the other way, too. You go the other way. Go the other way. Go the other way and convince me, by all means. No, no. Why is there love?
Starting point is 01:27:18 Why is there friendship? Why is there, you know, having children that you love on a level you didn't know before and all those things that you get out of life. Why is there beautiful staring at the ocean or staring at, you know, all the things. Paul, if you created a universe, would you create love, children, and all of that? Yeah. Would you also create pedophiles, Yeah. Would you also create pedophiles? Sociopaths? Murderers? No, I wouldn't.
Starting point is 01:27:51 Just to balance it? Well, you got to have the yin and yang. No, you make a good point. Why can't I have this guy with this family that people love unless I have a fucking axe murderer wanting to go in there and chop everybody up? Look, I'm not arguing, man. You're making a good point. I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying like, you know, I think that we don't know what it is. I think there's something we don't know what it is. And I'm fine with saying I don't know. People need to be fine with saying I don't know. You know, no, I don't know, because that's what all you religious guys do is you tap out. Well, you know, it's a big mystery. It's bigger than us. We can't fucking. you tap out well you know it's a big mystery it's bigger than us we can't fucking you got no answer paul i said i believe in something i said i believe in i believe in something too but i don't
Starting point is 01:28:31 believe in something that cares uh you know i guess i guess paul come on paul like you just have this out the whole fucking time. You have this whole fucking, it's a devil. You got freedom of choice. The devil, the devil made you do it. You know, that's like these fucking assholes you get in business with, and then they steal from you, and you audit them, and you catch it, and they sit there with a straight face. Oh, that's the accounting department.
Starting point is 01:29:01 Yeah, I mean, listen, I wish I knew. I wish you did too, Paul. wish i knew paul fuck you no sorry yeah why does somebody why does somebody jogging get murdered and get fucking cut up and buried and i i know i i you know i it's a really fucked up thing, you know. But, you know, why is a blowjob incredible? Why is sex incredible? Why is that shit dope? You know, it's, there is some shit that's really amazing. I know. But here's my thing, is if you're going to make all that amazing shit and also have those lunatics walking around, don't fucking come after me with your judgment. You should be saying like, hey, man, sorry about that.
Starting point is 01:29:55 But what if I just kind of put that guy in the game to kind of make it interesting for me when I look down there to see, you know, you know, every every good story needs a good villain. No, but what if he says this to you? What he says i'm i'm really sorry for those things but there's a lot let there's a lot less murderers and pedophiles and there is love and good people and also what's the now i'm going to hell no no i'm going to hell because uh because what because i didn't go to church every fucking week and bow down to you no but what if the the murderers are just like the misguided that he couldn't help or do? What do you mean he couldn't help it? He's God. He can do whatever the fuck he wants to do.
Starting point is 01:30:30 He created the universe in seven days. He can't get some stops. He can't fucking solder the wires correctly. So someone doesn't want to do all of that shit. What if the devil got him? Dude, the fucking devil was just an angel. God created the devil too. He created everything.
Starting point is 01:30:52 Paul, let me tell you something. You can fucking do any backflip you want. At the end of the day, the shit doesn't make sense. And I'm getting mad at not the true thing that's out there. I'm getting mad at what fucking dopes told me it was. That's the reality of it. Fair enough. Fair enough.
Starting point is 01:31:13 I, you know, you're not going to, I hear what you're saying. You make valid points. You know, I'm a positive guy. So I like to. Passive aggressive. Go ahead. No, no, no. I'm a, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:31:25 Passive aggressive directed at me. You know, definitely not. OK, definitely not. I get it. You're 5'8". You're 5'8". No, no, no, no, no. It's not passive aggressive. If I was passive aggressive, I wouldn't do I wouldn't I don't go like that. I'm not a passive aggressive guy and I wouldn't do that to you. I'm a positive guy, so I like to think, OK, maybe there was something, a plan for that awful shit, why that awful shit happened. And I'm going to focus on the positive good shit that happened. That's all I'm saying. Because I want to hope something's good. Who doesn't? I don't want to fuck.
Starting point is 01:31:55 I don't want this shit to end. And then all of a sudden, it's just, you know what I mean? I don't give a fuck about any of it. I don't give a fuck about any of it. I just resent the fact that someone's going to be sitting there going like, August 23rd, 1991. Well, what's up with that? It gets me like, really? The fuck is up with you?
Starting point is 01:32:24 Yeah. Andrew, you got any input on this? Are you a religious kid or no? I'll drag him into this shit. People get weird about this stuff. I don't even know why I went down this road. Are you wearing a Tom and Jerry t-shirt?
Starting point is 01:32:35 Yeah. You know what? My daughter went out and was, uh, was getting some cool t-shirts and she wanted to get a cool t-shirt for me. And she wanted to get me a SpongeBob SquarePants. And her mother, my wife, kept saying he didn't watch that when he was growing up. Your dad watched Tom and Jerry and Mickey Mouse and Top Cat and all that shit.
Starting point is 01:32:57 So she got it for me. And she gets excited whenever I wear it. Today was her first day of school. By the way, underrated. Your son going to a park for the first time, playing with other baby boys, and one of the baby boys rips a toy out of his hand, and your son gives that kid a smack and gets the toy back. Wow.
Starting point is 01:33:16 Oh, dude. You know what I love about it? Nobody was surprised in my family. We all knew he had it in him. That's amazing. We knew it. We saw it oh you could see it i told you that one kid that was standing around going
Starting point is 01:33:29 his fucking dad was looking off in the distance i swear to god there was a fucking little kid he's standing on a slide my son's like trying to figure stuff out discovering shit and there's a kid just going oh oh he's like looking around and then I looked at his father and his father was just like gazing off. And I was like, yeah, dude, taking your kid to the park is nerve wracking, though, dude. I saw a little boy and he's running, running, running. And Sophia was like, too, not even. And he was like four. And I'm going and he got like 10 yards and I'm going, oh, my God, he's not stopping.
Starting point is 01:34:02 And he trampled my daughter. She's crying. And the grandmother got up and I dude, I was like, Hey, you got to chill. Like I said, something, the grandmother was like, get over here. Like he ran my, and I wanted to fuck. I wanted to grab this little kid. Cause he hurt my little girl. My little girl was so little, but that's nice that your boy got a toy taken from him. It was like, nah, not happening. Yeah. Here's one for you. I went to playground one time and there was some seven-year-old girl and no one would play with her she was walking up to people saying will you play with
Starting point is 01:34:30 me and they said no and she was seven she's gonna carry that for the rest of her life those are the moments that go there's no god what did she do as a seven-year-old it deserved that to be the kid at the playground that nobody like nobody wanted up she never having to play with like adults yeah that's dude i carried that for like three weeks i couldn't stop thinking about her how long ago that was fucking months ago i don't know that's horrible it's fucking horrible and what did she do when she's a fucking seven year old kid and now she's walking around with this fucked up bullshit because no kids want to play and she's gonna marry some asshole that treats her like shit because she's got no fucking sense of self-worth now dude that's true and a great point and you know what my my son was so
Starting point is 01:35:20 what is some fucking invisible cunt gonna be asking me questions for while he's letting that happen when all he had to do was just go whoosh whoosh whoosh and make the universe in seven So what is some fucking invisible cunt going to be asking me questions for while he's letting that happen? When all he had to do was just go whoosh, whoosh, whoosh and make the universe in seven fucking days. Well, you don't know if she hits the fucking mega millions in a couple of years. So maybe that was the but like the trade off. But that was one of the biggest cop outs on a fucking question ever. So at nine, she's going to be going in getting scratch tickets.
Starting point is 01:35:46 This is how far she fell. No, but two pickums and a lucky strike. You made a good point, though, man. You made a really good point because my son said something to my daughter and he said something like,
Starting point is 01:36:03 shut up, or he was like, and she looks up to him like a God. And then I called him aside and I go, look, you call it, you tell your daughter to shut. I mean, you told your sister to shut up and you told you treat her like that. And she looks up to you. I go, so what's going to happen now? She's going to be with somebody later in life, date somebody and that she's going to really like, and she's going to think it's okay for them to say, shut up and them to treat your sister like that. And then what are you going to do? And dude, it fucking hit. I go, so you're going to have somebody talk to your sister like that. Cause she loves you and looks up to you. So what if a guy does that or tries to hit her
Starting point is 01:36:37 or fucking talk to her like that? Watch how you talk to your sister. And he fucking just was like, and I was just like yep point made because if you if if they think that that's okay they can't think that that's okay that's a good dad day that's a good day that was paul versi three two one bottom of the net reasonable man you're a reasonable man paul wow we're long.
