Late 90s with every place. Remember when MTV just did music? Yeah, I know.

I don't know. red-handed sorry i don't i don't know so anyway paul i'm i'm almost wrapped on this fucking movie over here paul versi came in for a day two days two days sorry crushing it that was fun man see that it was so easy to work with i only thought it was a day uh dude, I'm not going to lie. The staff and makeup were just like, my God, you're so nice.
Starting point is 00:08:47 And I go, yeah, isn't everybody? And they were like, the makeup lady. I'll tell you right now, if you're not nice to hair and makeup, that'll get around town in two fucking minutes. I said something to her. I go, you actually put makeup on actors and they're mean? And she just was like, eh. And I was like, what the fuck dude it's like
Starting point is 00:09:07 give them the mascara some people they don't they don't get it they just don't fucking uh but that's just people in life too it's not just there you know no it isn't that's another thing too like every year when the oscars happen people always go like oh my god the self-congratulatory fucking every fucking business has an awards yep yeah top regional manager for fucking whatever real estate the fucking guy in the friolator can get his picture on the fucking wall they all do it they just don't like it because it's beautiful people that are fucking each other making movies you know what and i agree and you know what else it is it's until it's you right you ever say fuck that dude i don't even like that stupid shit and then they invite you in fuck a list all these people
Starting point is 00:09:57 are on lists and then they're like hey top you know top five comedy albums paul versi i'm like oh those are nice people man you know it is you know they're just making a list you know, top five comedy albums, Paul Verzi. I'm like, oh, those are nice people, man. You know, they're just making a list, you know, doing anything wrong. Everybody wants to be invited. Everybody's insecure. And for everybody asking, let's just nip this in the bud for everybody asking, what do you think about what happened at the Oscars? Somebody did something really wrong and stupid and the other person handled it great end of fucking story that the amount of shit that i got on that monday for not fucking talking about it it's like do i really have to talk to another comedian through you like why do you have to be privy i mean what else was there to think it And then what about the other comics? Some comics just like typing in all capital letters for like three days in a row.
Starting point is 00:10:50 And it's like, all right, are you really this upset? Are you trying to get some of this stink on you so you can sell some more fucking tickets? There you go. Fucking three days in a row. Three days in a row you sustain that level. Listen, if Will Smith came out and pulled his dick out, there's a whole different ballgame. Then there's a whole new can of worms to open up.
Starting point is 00:11:14 If somebody does something nuts like that, you go up, you smack a guy in the face. Chris handled it. And here's the other thing. I also like when they were going like, this is going to open a door for people coming out. It's like that's been happening yeah I got a bottle there's nothing worse than security at a comedy club my favorite thing ever the amount of times somebody came up on stage and I'm looking like I remember dude I've never been
Starting point is 00:11:41 at Dangerfields and having the mic stand going, you can't come up here. You can't come up here. And I'm looking out at the bar. Those three jackasses in suits are just sitting there watching like it was part of the fucking show. And the worst thing is when they go to kick somebody out, all they do is just get them on the other side of the door. And they're like this. And then they turn their back. And the guy always gets back in.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Dude, I had like three guys that wanted to beat the out of me and on separate occasions and they ended up standing in the line like waiting to beat me up when I was selling merch that's how dumb they were and I'm looking up and they're like five guys away and I'm looking at the bouncer like I thought you threw that guy out oh my God why do you get back in here he walked right through the front door again walked right through the front it'd be funny if he bought merch yeah you signed a church um yeah man it it's silly. It's like, what do you think? I think, what do you think? I think, yeah. What else is there to think there's no right in anybody. And then you have to make a comment. Like you work at some fucking the standup comedy, U S embassy. Yeah. Walking out in like a fucking podium. I did love though. The amount of people that just made it about themselves of course of course when
Starting point is 00:13:06 i thought it made me feel i'm not gonna lie to you like they like it i actually i didn't that's why i kind of didn't say that because it reminded me of a few people in my life that will's behavior i i didn't like that i didn't like that in we in some weird way the only thing that really i didn't like about it was will smith to me always had that fresh prince nice guy motivational speaker type thing oh did he break your heart paul did you buy into his brand no no it didn't i i wanted to i guess i wanted to believe that the dude was like really fucking chill like that not not the whole hollywood shit just like a nice fucking dude because i've seen him talk to fans and i've seen him like really fucking like you know tiffany haddish had that thing where she had a broken down car he got in the car and he was
Starting point is 00:13:54 just so fucking nice so you have that and then you see that shit over was that on film no that was a story that that was a story that tiffany haddish had said and you just hear about you're like oh man like you know the guy seems like a fucking nice guy and then a benign joke gets him like that you had a rough night what are you gonna what are you gonna do you know and all these people like you know i'll tell you what if i was chris rock what the fuck i would just say you would have been stunned and shocked like flip would have flipped that thing. You would have thought he was coming up there to improv too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Arm around you joking, little thing like that. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:14:34 But, dude, what are you going to do? Hey, listen, the Oscars have been – and you know what's funny? I actually said to myself – I just hope the people that saw it can recover. The traumatized? Yeah, and take the time they need. Yeah. They need.
Starting point is 00:14:49 You know what? Yeah, not Chris. Not Chris. All you other people, just talk to your therapist about it. I am still not okay after watching that. You know, it's funny, though. I had no intention of watching the Oscars that night, and I watched this movie called Windfall.
Starting point is 00:15:10 It's this new movie out about this guy. That sounds like the only thing worse than the Oscars. No, it was all right. This guy, Jason Segel, plays this guy. He breaks into this billionaire's villa. Oh, that sounds like a romantic comedy to me. Windfall of love love and then they come in the billionaire and his wife come in and he's in the house and he gets caught and whatever it's
Starting point is 00:15:30 got that weird hitchcock music it was all right and i'm like oh good it's 11 10 the oscars are over i don't have to hear what steve tweets and then all of a sudden i just looked at my phone and i go well i gotta see what's going on over there. Somebody gets smacked. You got it. But yeah, no, it's what it is. I'm glad that nobody's going to talk. I'm done talking about it. It's just so. I got to be honest with you, Paul.
Starting point is 00:15:55 I don't know that I'll ever be okay again. And I want to thank all you guys for your support. Yeah. Because for me. Comics making i had like getting slapped men upset that i wasn't gossiping about the fucking oscars it's just calling me soft it's like you watch that shit you actually sit down and watch an award show and what do they want you to do what do they want you to they want you to they want you to fucking that's what i want to know what would you like for to dedicate a podcast to it i mean you know i i don't know paul and i don't give a shit either are you triggered bill i'll tell you what i'm excited about paul is i'm going to birmingham
Starting point is 00:16:38 alabama and making georgia do you know that Macon, Georgia, that theater that we're in, I believe is where they had Martin Luther King's funeral. Historic. Oh, wow. Historic place, Paul. Yep, and you'll be telling shit jokes in it. I'll be telling a dick joke.
Starting point is 00:16:55 That's why you only need three good friends in life. Hey, Paul, when the day comes, okay, and you're sitting there and you're getting your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame because you paid $1,800 for it or whatever they charge you for it. That's why I felt good about the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They just got a star or whatever the clip I just saw them getting a star. I like at least they got to split that four ways you know what i mean that's so funny man but it comes out to about 350 a whack when when they do paul or you get your feet in the cement at man's chinese theater if they even do that anymore uh you would you actually what pair of sneakers does paul verzi wear
Starting point is 00:17:47 you got to go jordan cements right just for the whole but would you would you sacrifice a pair of cements stepping in cement you got to figure at that point you're a huge because right now will smith opened a door paul they're gonna put him on a bench for a second you know whatever and paul i think that you could run in and right now you're you're a nice guy i'm a nice guy why don't you reboot fresh prince they've already done it yeah they did a drama one i've watched it i actually like it do you i don't mean i actually like it like i was surprised of good i mean i actually what kind of usually just watch sports i sat down and watched it i really liked it dude there's no better show on earth right now than fucking yellowstone it's the fucking dude it made me want to buy a big belt buckle dude i'm not even joking dude i fucking i fucking dude

It's the best show there is. Picture just cowboys killing people for land. It's the Sopranos in Montana present day with cowboys. It's incredible.
Starting point is 00:19:03 It's fucking incredible. Of course, though, guess what, Bill? Guess what they don't have? There's not an Italian cowboy. Dude, Italians are the most I've said. I'm going to keep saying it. You weren't here. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:19:13 No, it's happening now. It's happening now. Yellowstone is about now. Yellowstone is about now. And it's about cowboys killing each other in Montana is a now story. Yeah, because Costner has this big ranch and the fucking, you know, Native Americans want it. But it's just it's been a fight for 100 years of his family keeping this ranch. And there's fights and there's all kinds of shit like that.

Starting point is 00:35:10 Did Bert Reynolds have any Italian in him? Rest his soul. I think he might have had Indian in him. Okay. Bert Reynolds, because I thought Bert Reynolds could pass for a dime. Maybe he just went to Florida State. I don't remember. Yeah, but he looked like, Bert Reynolds looked like he had a little Italian in him. Burt Reynolds looked like a million bucks.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Burt Reynolds, nationality. His family descended from Dutch, English, Scottish, Irish, Scottish ancestry. He also claims he's part Cherokee and has Italian roots. Okay. I don't know, Paul. That's pretty much Northern Europe there. Well, he's kind of all over the map, though, there. He's just like... No, no, no. There was a lot of map
Starting point is 00:35:49 where I was. You didn't like that at all. No, no. I don't mind. I didn't mind it. Black Irish. He looked Italian, though. He dressed Italian with that red shirt and that fucking trans am he and he had a little shit talking to him too right dude they don't make him like that guy anymore they just don't make him like that how long did he live how how rest his soul how old
Starting point is 00:36:21 was he when he passed he got to about 80 he did all his stunts he used to do stunts when you jumped a car you broke your back I was talking to an old stunt guy and they used to put like an inner tube with air to put it underneath you then they did stuff where they tried to have you suspended in the car
Starting point is 00:36:40 they tried different things so your spine wouldn't get compacted yeah yeah there's all kinds of shit that people you know when they used to jump the general lee you know you got the engine the whole powertrain the more the weight is in the front the thing would flip like that so they had to put like cinder blocks so they would put like dumbbells and shit and just weld them to the trunk inside the trunk so the car you, you wouldn't go end over end. But they wouldn't have the real actor in.
Starting point is 00:37:09 They would have stunt people, right? Yeah, these are stunt guys. These are stunt guys, yeah. Yeah, that's crazy, dude. Like, even if you're a 20, 30-year stunt vet, and you're like, you're going to be in a car that flips. It's like, fuck, dude. That's like like do they get
Starting point is 00:37:25 paid really good money or no just i i'd be honest with you uh they should make more than the act well the actors is what the famous person is what brings people there but the fact that these guys are like risking their life like now they just cgi dude back in the day when people they would literally jump out like they bust through glass on a building and then land on a big those big inflatable things like if you miss that thing you're dead yeah it's just like i i don't know man like those Like, those guys were insane. And I think, like, back in the day, like, they used to make, like, the big actors really insecure. Because these guys were, like, risking their fucking lives. And I think that that's why certain actors wanted to do...
Starting point is 00:38:18 Yeah, they wanted to do their own stunts. I'm happy that I don't... own stunts um i'm happy that i don't i don't uh i i like anytime they go hey you want your stunt guy to do this i'm like yep i'm not you know he's that's what he's here for that's what the fuck he's here for and it's like you know then they take it seriously like they it's like we my job is to make sure you don't get hurt because if you get hurt, then you can't do your little soliloquy. The next day, this thing gets shut down. The fucking movie loses all this money. So I've done a few like just like minor things like with cars and shit because they'll literally have one.
Starting point is 00:39:00 You just got to fucking make a U-turn and peel out, make it look good. It's like, oh, yeah, I can do that. Just turn the wheel and hit the gas it'll be fine but anything that involves uh you know where you could actually get hurt fall off something like that always always dude nothing was ballsier than the tom cruise mission impossible thing he said he couldn't sleep the night before he fucking held on to the side of a b2 bomber and it took off and they had a camera on his face and his fucking and then what it in in reality it just spun around and came back and landed but it fucking took off with him on it and it was like and he because he wants to do all that shit it's just like that's another level dude that's like you know but he's like he's like nuts he wants to do all that shit it's just like that's another level dude that's like you know but he's like he's like nuts he wants to be the first actor in space and shit like he's
Starting point is 00:39:51 fucking he's a wild kid man tom cruise doesn't give a fuck yeah i don't know about that dude at that age to still want to do that you're running from something. Yeah. What about, is there, I just don't see tranquility. And like, that's what you're working. I feel like you're born a bunch of fucked up shit happens.
Starting point is 00:40:14 And in the middle, you're hurting other people because you're damaged and you don't know that what you're doing is not normal. Then you figure it out and you're trying to work yourself to tranquility and to be a peaceful person so you can help younger people with their pain i feel you know and i just think it's a certain age if you're still you know i don't know i wouldn't him i shouldn't judge the guy but i'm just like i don't know like what are you doing fucking gluing yourself to the side of fucking play yeah dude it's nuts you can watch like that's something you do when you're like 1920
Starting point is 00:40:53 i'm never gonna die so i guess i have more respect for that because you know at that point you realize how mortal you are. Yeah, he knows. There's no... I'm fucking thinking like I am fucking with the aerodynamics of this plane right now. I'm like a giant piece of gum sitting on the side of this fucking thing. Yeah, no. Here's another thing, too. The pilots are risking their lives because if he was ever to fall off that thing and went back and hit the rear stabilizer, they would invert and they would be dead.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Yeah, no, they had him on like the side bottom. It was just fucking nuts, dude. Oh, so I bought him. So if he fell off, he went underneath. Yeah, but he would go. Yeah, like he was willing to die for the for the fucking stunt and it was nuts and they watched it you can watch it you can youtube him like taking off and dude his like like the face his cheeks are fucking it was it was like it was a b2 bomber just flying
Starting point is 00:41:58 down the runway and took off with him holding on the side it was nuts it was really it was it's like yeah of course you didn't sleep the night before you could die tomorrow you fucking it's a mission impossible what are you doing you can't sleep it's beyond that you're gonna die it's what people are gonna say after you die that's a tragedy what the fuck was that guy thinking yeah like that's one of those things you're not gonna feel like yeah i mean you, you glued yourself to the side of a plane. I love that you're saying glued. Well, whatever the fuck they did.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Velcroed you to the side of the plane. I mean, what do you, there's nothing there. What do you stick yourself on? Yeah, no, it was. When's the new Evel Knievel coming, coming man when's that guy coming i want to see the x games ruin that they're all a bunch of evil kenevils that's that's the shit that they're doing on those fucking motocross bikes yeah that's actually a perfect point because those guys will jump things and they'll yeah it's like i loved
Starting point is 00:43:05 watching evil knievel as a kid that was like a pay-per-view dude when he would fucking jump caesar's bike weighed like fucking 4 000 pounds like these things they're jumping with today like like uh like robbie knievel his son even like the technology i remember reading he was talking about that was talking about the bikes his dad used to jump how heavy they were um oh my god dude i if one of the joe theismann's leg getting broken and evil kenevil crashing at caesars when he's just tumbling end over end oh Oh, my God. You just hear bones. Dude, please tell me, Bill, you saw the guy jump from space on Red Bull? Oh, that was just insane.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Do you realize if that guy's mask, if his shield broke? Andrew, can you just pull that up just for one second? I just want to watch the initial because they said he lost consciousness twice during the drop which he was prepared for but dude there's one where he's going like this for so long for so long it's fucking not can we actually watch the leap do you know Paul they said if his if his visor if his shield failed the saliva in his mouth would instantly reach the boiling point oh my god dude on his way down you mean yeah and that's why what we're doing to the planet like people don't understand how fucking hot the sun is we think it's far away but it's the atmosphere is what is protecting us from that and we are fucking with it so wait his visor his visor
Starting point is 00:44:54 comes off his visor came off i think the altitude he's at he's above the atmosphere or what i don't i didn't i don't understand i mean hey we all know I'm not a scientist. They said the saliva in his mouth would instantly reach the boiling point. He had boiling saliva in his mouth. Just doing that. This is fucking. Oh, dude, here it is. This is fucking. This is him on the ledge, right?
Starting point is 00:45:18 So he's in space right now, right? Yeah, this has just so much what is 24.2 miles above the earth's surface look at this motherfucker dude i mean this kid is oh he went up in a fucking balloon oh my god dude Oh, he went up in a fucking balloon. Oh, my God, dude. Yeah, we're not doing it. I was just thinking that. You do it.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Oh, my God. Did they pay him good for this? Look at this crazy mother. Probably a buyout. Dude, look at that. Dude dude that took him right into space dude that is that's wild man i want to see would he falling faster than terminal velocity because it was so thin up there that must have been why maybe he lost consciousness i have no idea. Yeah, I think they said he was going to lose consciousness,
Starting point is 00:46:32 which is just so, just to know that. And then he gets it back. I want to see the step off, dude. Look at that. Oh, my God. Fuck that. Now, this right here, dude, putting your feet out, dude, I'm afraid to fly to Florida. This fucking guy.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Dude, this is, I mean, forget skydiving. Look at that. What's he thinking right there, Bill? What's he thinking with the legs? I got to take a leak. What if I just piss on two continents at the same time? No, he's thinking of a woman. He's right there. He's thinking of a woman or his kids right there. What was that pouch?
Starting point is 00:47:15 Was that to piss? He had like a big, like, dude, this is, look at this. Look at this, dude. I'm getting anxious. I don't think that pouch is to piss, Paul. It's like on his stomach. No, I don't know what it's set up to. Dude, here it is.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck. Am I filming my own death? And three, two, one. I wish you could see this, he said. Wow. Yeah, dude, this guy is just built with something. He has like fucking titanium bones.
Starting point is 00:47:52 To understand how small you are. This guy's a philosopher. Oh, here he goes. Here he goes. Dude. Coming home, which usually, you know, means you died God
Starting point is 00:48:11 dude dude that is look at his form though that's amazing dude I went skydiving once the second I let go of the plane I did That is, that is. Look at his form, though. That's amazing. Dude, I went skydiving once. The second I let go of the plane, I did two front flips as my chute came out. How fast is this guy going on the free fall?
Starting point is 00:48:35 Did they say? I mean, it's got to be like. I mean, I think how. Dude, look at that. The guy's in space. That's fucking nuts man i mean the space shuttle burns up on re-entry if they loses a couple of tiles what the fuck is this guy wearing that's what i yeah like how did he not burn to death i i have no idea maybe that's what maybe that had to do with the fucking so i don't know i don't know what the fuck i'm talking i just remember they said that you spent three how do you know where you're going
Starting point is 00:49:10 no but there's this is a slow motion video there's one where you just see him tumbling dude i was crying laughing but um i think it just looks like slow motion because you're on with him you're falling with him that is're falling with him. That is just a ball. There's nothing to go past him. He spent three and a half minutes free falling, and he reached speeds of 360 miles an hour before opening his chute. That's, I mean, dude, he's going, he's going, he's going 300 and something miles away up top, I believe. And then once he gets into like the trope of pause, whatever the fuck you call it, he's into two minutes into a free fall right now, dude.
Starting point is 00:50:02 That is. All right. So now he's back in the atmosphere here. I don't know. Dude, he's been falling for three and a half minutes. That's unbelievable, man. He's at 10,000 feet now. Now he pulls the chute.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Holy shit, man. and he pulls the chute holy shit man parachute deployed at 8 000 feet paul oh my god dude 8 000 feet all right bill here's the question how much money would it take for you to do that? If they said, we'll give you 100 million cash, clear, no tax. There's no money. It would have to be to save my family. Look at that fucking lazy asshole. Dude, he didn't even fucking do a face plant that's nuts i can't believe he didn't burn on the way down it's like what bill was saying was true they show the ship coming in and it burns
Starting point is 00:51:15 it's like it like well i don't know because it's going it's going way faster or something i have no idea all i know is when they said if your shield comes off your saliva would immediately start boiling i'd be like okay yeah i'm good you'd be so nervous you'd have dry what i would do is just open my mouth then and just hope it just dried it all up real quick because you're flying 356 miles an hour. You're fucking off. You're fucking screaming. When I was 18 years old, I wanted to skydive, and I have this much interest in doing that now.
Starting point is 00:51:56 I don't like roller coasters anymore. Can you imagine trying to tell that guy a story? Dude, one time, me and my friends, we went down to a bar and he's gonna be sitting there Is that what you did Dude we went bungee jumping We went bungee jumping Over a lake
Starting point is 00:52:11 It was bananas There was a split second I thought I was gonna hit the water Dude you know those slingshots At an amusement park Where they put you in a ball It was fucking crazy, dude. We're going fast.
Starting point is 00:52:28 He's like, really? Really? Yeah, I jumped from space and I went almost 400 miles an hour. I went skydiving one time in Pepperell, Massachusetts in like 1986 or 87 or something like that. And it was a static line jump. Meaning it was hooked up, your thing was hooked up to the plane. Yeah. Sit in the door, get out, go.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Arc 1,000, 2, 1,000, 3, 1,000, look, if nothing, look, reach, pull. I still remember that. And I let go. It was a one-day course. I let go and immediately tried to grab for something, and I was doing front flips. I did two front flips, and I felt the chute go by my inner left thigh. And I remember thinking, I'm going to be like a fruit roll-up. I did two front flips and I felt the shoot go by my inner left thigh. And I remember thinking I'm going to be like a fruit roll up.
Starting point is 00:53:07 I'm dead. And then it was like, and then it was just out. Oh my God, dude. Yep. And I was like, I'm never doing that again.
Starting point is 00:53:15 No zero. I know somebody that did it. They collapsed lung. People don't breathe. Right. Dude. Fuck that man. I know a guy did a tandem one and the chute didn't open and they both looked at
Starting point is 00:53:25 the same time and they started rolling and the guy had to get my buddy to calm down so he could kind of write the thing and then he pulled the reserve and they were fine and i guess my other buddy was there he said right when they got on the ground the guy unhooked him and he collapsed and he started crying in the fetal position. And my other buddy had to be just like, oh, just, oh boy. Grown man crying, Paul. Top five funniest.
Starting point is 00:54:02 And number one most uncomfortable fucking social situation is when a man completely loses control of his emotions and starts crying. In front of the other man, what the other man has to do. Unless you're Italians. Italians can get away with it. You guys are more emotional. Yeah. Dude, if my wife watches The Real Housewives of New Jersey, the men are
Starting point is 00:54:29 crying every five episodes. You're my fucking father! I love that he said fucking. You're my fucking father! and he's like crying yeah yeah they and the irishman of me is german irish guy is just sitting there going that's great that he can show emotion but you know he probably should have left that f-bomb out of it no there's there's nobody this is the truth dude there's nobody more emotionally walled off than my any irish friend i had from boston
Starting point is 00:55:03 yourself included irish guys from Boston, dude. If you want to make an Irish guy from Boston, uncomfortable, hug them, tell them you love them and look them in the eyes, dude. It's just like,
Starting point is 00:55:13 it's my favorite. They can't do it. I remember, uh, uh, the late, great Maria Falzone. Great name.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Had to, Oh dude, she was a beast too. The rest of the soul beast of a comedian she had to teach me how to hug she came up to me and hugged me hugging the support of like a parking garage just like because jesus i gotta teach you how to hug there was another woman from that comedy scene where she was just like you know always like hugging on the comics big ostrich shaped woman just coming at you and i used to always make sure there was a table between me and her when she came in to say hello one time she
Starting point is 00:55:58 goes ah she goes bill burr i can never get you it's just like damn i don't want you to get me you it's just like damn i don't want you to get me creepy no boston guys and you guys can't give a compliment without a that's the jab too i can't have yeah i would say irish guys in uh boston and in all and i don't know about ireland but could use some mushrooms. Dude, mushrooms changed my fucking life, dude. I know you were saying that. It really has. I would say what that dude did the other night at the Ward show, Will Smith, that reminded me of behavior that I saw men do when I was a kid. Right down to the apology and i would be like the old me would have
Starting point is 00:56:47 got livid when i saw that i would have had murderous thoughts like really like uh like misdirected anger misdirected murderous thoughts at this fucking actor because of shit that happened but since two trips on that shit dude i'm telling you i just really just saw i just more felt pain and sadness watching it which is way more healthier than fucking uh you know i used to see shit like that dude and i literally had to go work out or play drums just like or just go drink like a fucking lunatic and uh you know it's not it's not the way to live so you're saying that mushrooms made you take that anger away from that i figured out who i was on my first trip 52 years old
Starting point is 00:57:42 but and i didn't i did not have a good trip but all the fucking hippies are like hey man you get the trip you you get the trip you need not the trip you want man I did do like I had like it just hooked me into the bedrock of how I felt growing up and I I was like, what the fuck is this? And oh, wow, this is why. And I just understood my whole life up into that fucking point.
Starting point is 00:58:12 See, I feel like. And you know what? You know what? Yeah. That's why I got fucking sober. I was like, I need to figure out what the fuck this is because I'm hurting myself and I'm hurting people around me.
Starting point is 00:58:23 I got it. I got it. I need to figure out what the fuck this is there's no other drug yeah that i've been around that does that like alcohol just makes you more of an asshole you know or or or a good time charlie or a sad guy crying in the corner or whatever you would say I'm a good time Charlie, right? I'm definitely a good time Charlie, right? Drinking? You never see. I don't get angry.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Yeah, no. The only time I've ever seen anything out of you is because you're around another guy who isn't a good drunk. Yeah, that's what I don't like. Yeah, and then you're just ruining the good time. And I think, you know, weed is like, I don't know, weed is like silly. But I also think it kind of kills your drive. Like I always felt weed people always compared themselves to alcoholics.
Starting point is 00:59:13 So obviously they're going to win that one every time. But I used to do a joke on my app, you know, because all these times, you ever see anybody who smokes weed robbing a liquor store and getting into a fight? It's like, yeah, you never really see anybody who smokes weed all the time really doing anything, though. Right. Sort of sitting on the couch. Yeah. Yeah, like I think when you get to the point with weed where the wake and bake shit,
Starting point is 00:59:36 or when you get to the point where you're so good at smoking weed that you can go to work high. Yeah, yeah. Once you can live, because no one's going to smell it on you or whatever. You mean your eyes will be a little red. Once you start getting the visine before you go into work and you're just walking around high, I think that's a time. I would think, I'm not telling you how to live your life, but that would be maybe you want to step back and examine. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:05 What you're doing and most importantly, the why. I had a friend who could take tests high. I had a friend who would smoke blunts and get fucking out of his mind high and go function and function. And me, I would smoke weed and I would sit down, think about my life, panic, be all fucked up. And then I learned that like less weed would be good. But, you know, it's funny. Last night I was smoking a cigar, by the way, this amazing cigar lounge in Rhode Island called the Ale House Cigar Bar or something, dude. It's amazing. It was it's down on Prince Street in leather chair. It's it's it's fucking old school.
Starting point is 01:00:39 It's amazing. And I was talking to this comic and we were talking about drugs. Cocaine does this and this and that. And I just go and he kept saying Molly. Right. And I go, dude, what does Molly do? And he goes, he goes, oh, dude, it's because it's better than Coke. And I go, he goes, it's just the best because it just puts you in the best fucking mood. You're happy. Everything is great. He goes, the come down could be a little shitty like coke but he goes dude it's just the fucking best that's the thing that's what i know because like the second time i took mushrooms um i was like i had the best time ever like i literally dude i had a fucking blast and i was totally aware that i was tripping i was out in nature i was in the middle of fucking utah it looked like i would like the
Starting point is 01:01:32 road running coyote were gonna go by and i was like talking to the rocks and shit and like laughing knowing that this is ridiculous but i felt like like dude shit just got turned on i was like all right what's up everybody and i was talking to inanimate objects man it was fucking wild and then i came in and i i watched the chargers raiders game that great game at the end of the year and the raiders were in their dome and it was all those lights and i was tripping my wife wasn't i was just like nia this is fucking amazing and i had the and she was worried that i'd have another bad trip and i was tripping my wife wasn't i was just like nia this is fucking amazing and i had and she was worried that i'd have another bad trip and i i didn't i had a fuck i had a i had
Starting point is 01:02:10 the best time but this is the thing too like what i like about it was it's not like i did them and then i'm like i gotta do that again yeah i need to i need to keep doing this shit like with other things that i've been involved in it's just more like no came home and it just everything's still shut off i don't fuck with um i'm just stone sober dude i don't fuck with anything yeah i i uh i told this guy last night i go it took me 41 years to learn how to drink like i've now the last couple years i know how to drink where last night i went out to a cigar lounge i had a single bourbon single and then i had one other like and i just like like i can go out now and have two two three drinks get that little buzz feeling smoke a cigar and fucking call it a night i could never do that for i couldn't do it forever and i learned how to
Starting point is 01:03:03 do it don't get me wrong if you know don't get me hey this weekend like if you know when i'm with friends in a house when i'm with friends in a house you know the dial gets turned up a little bit but i can well my that's my thing my thing now is like if i'm on a vacation with friends and my kids aren't around yeah you know i'll have a gummy or something like that you know but i'm i gotta be honest with you dude if i have a nice cigar and a root beer and i'm i'm hanging with you guys and we're just shooting this shit i mean it's kind of fucking great how underrated is like a soda like just a an ice cold soda just oh dude i had a cream soda yesterday like i i really haven't been smoking like i smoked three cigars in the super bowl and i've smoked three since then like i had one cigar
Starting point is 01:03:52 two cigars in march i like it better like i kind of have a rule now that if i have a cigar i can't have another one for at least 10 days and i just follow that militantly now. And then I find like around nine days, like I'm like, I don't really want to do that. I don't do the alone stick. That's what I learned. Don't do the alone stick. If you could get rid of the alone stick though, it just helps. You love an alone stick. I love it. Dude, I love drinking alone. Yeah, dude dude that's drinking alone is a let's be honest so drinking alone is the border of a fucking that's a tough one would you do that a lot did you do that a lot drink alone oh yeah i loved it pour yourself a little splash a little dude i used to pour him like that and i would fucking put on me tv and i watched peter gunn 77 sunset strip uh the untouchables uh and then another one okay peaky blinders
Starting point is 01:04:57 yeah peaky blinders and i was just like uh you know i people, I'll tell you right now, you know who figured life out and that's why God takes them so quickly is people who smoke inside their house. Like, if you just don't give a fuck, like you're at home, like I'm having a bourbon, a cigar in your living room and I'm ordering a pizza or I'm getting some White Castle and you just don't give a fuck and you're just and you just give in to the now.
Starting point is 01:05:33 Like, I am just going to enjoy now. You just smoke a fucking joint in your house. You know, you're going gonna die decades earlier but you know i don't know sitting around eating brussels sprouts to you 90 there's got to be a fucking happy medium dude i had a friend whose grandmother smoked uh palm oils yeah and she smoked non-filtered Paul Malls. And I went to her house. She was in her 80s. Okay. Dressed to the nines. House stunk like smoke.
Starting point is 01:06:09 Just lighten up. And all she did was fucking sit in her house and smoke in her house, Paul Malls. And she lived to her 80s. Nothing. Just fucking light up, man. It's crazy. Loved it. Dude, you were able to smoke on an airplane.
Starting point is 01:06:24 Dude, if I could go back in time and just fucking pull up on an airplane with a stick, oh, my God. I don't know if you could ever smoke a cigar. Oh, you know. Hey, let's try to keep it as cigarettes. It's the 70s, all right? I actually was been talking to my podcast how I wanted to have like a degenerate section in every ballpark to make it how it used to be. Oh, that's great. Smokers, drinkers, people who know the game and and people who you know, because they killed the class clown at games. the class clown at games because the second there's a stoppage of play all hell breaks loose up on the screens and people running out on the court and all of that fucking shit and all of a
Starting point is 01:07:11 sudden it just ended the the heckles that people used to yell out it was great used to hear him when you'd watch on tv used to hear fans all the time i remember one time there was there was some big controversy at a Bruins game this guy Paul Stewart when he first started made three calls in a row he he would lose sight of the puck and would call the goal back like three times on the Bruins I remember right before they went to the commercial now Frank Hughes is like we'll be right back after these messages. They just hear this guy. The fuck? That's great. Yeah, you could just yell, what the fuck? Wasn't a problem, you know?
Starting point is 01:08:00 Look, I'm not saying to act like complete animals. But, like, just have a section it's up top the kids know not to go yeah kid no kids yeah and just sort of wall us off where you can't see us and just you just have a fucking great time to go into a fucking sporting event when i was a kid was also going to a comedy show because every section had somebody that was just hilarious yeah i think there's still that though i think that still exists like i i took the kids last year to yankee state you you'll always find one there's always one guy who's like a little extra but i think, I feel like, um,
Starting point is 01:08:46 because Yankee stadium is like story tradition. They're like, listen, we'll do a little bit of that jumbotron ship, but not crazy. Yeah. We're like the newer ones. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:08:58 The number one is that Barclays center. That fucking Brooklyn Nets game was just, it was bananas. Which one is that that is it called the barclays center the yeah that's when we went to that fucking game like yeah how like the the fucking idiots running around going where will we know where we at where brooklyn where brooklyn is brooklyn and it was like they were louder than the game it was like a nightclub of a dj playing all brooklyn songs in between a basketball game it was i can't stand that
Starting point is 01:09:33 fucking place or that team i like that i like this really it was a really uh bad experience yeah i i like um i like the loud people that know the game though like I told you that one time the guy one of the Yankees we needed a rally and we had like two outs and one of the Yankees got a double and this guy's just go don't you dare leave
Starting point is 01:09:58 him out there don't you dare leave him out there he did his job dude and it was like, he was so passionate and everyone's just looking at the guy and he's like, looking at the batter. You know what to do. You'll bring him home. Don't you do it. It was, it was the, it was the best. It was the best. But then you got guys that you don't want your kids to see.
Starting point is 01:10:22 Like this one guy was going like this. My I bring Lucas and Lucas's friend. And this guy's going, hey, fuck. Hey, he's looking at anybody with the opposing apparel. And then like all of a sudden, like Lucas, he did the lip thing. So then Lucas gets quiet. You know, Lucas is very shit. He's going, dad, dad dad so then the guy saw lucas
Starting point is 01:10:47 and he looked at lucas and he was cool he goes and lucas is like dad can i laugh i'm like yeah you could laugh he goes i can't give the finger i go no can't give the finger nothing was worse than that seattle seahawk fan at the green bay game we went to. Oh, God. Which one? Was that the guy who was screaming? He was cursing, right? Yeah, he's not even a sports fan.
Starting point is 01:11:12 He doesn't even understand sports. Like, they don't. It's like, you listen to that guy. You watch that guy. It's like, you never played organized sports. You just watch sports. You don't even understand. You don't even know what
Starting point is 01:11:25 oh that guy that drove you nuts there was a guy that drove you nuts me and bill went to uconn and we watched uconn at uconn and they're playing i forgot who they're playing and every single time uconn would shoot there was a guy going his arms wrong his arms not even like what's he doing like he's not even uh they don't know what to do every fuck dude i every possession the guy had something to say and we're looking at this guy the whole time instead of it was just like a guy with no athletic ability no no hey you're at a basketball game and every time somebody shoots a three the guy in front of you puts his arm up like that he's got to be like this oh like buddy we can see the arc yeah yeah or people stand up every
Starting point is 01:12:07 time on a three-pointer it's a three-pointer it's one one more point or when the guy misses there's always the guy that goes why is he shooting that i don't mind that it's like i don't know because he's open i don't know he's feeling. It's a good pass. Got a couple of guys underneath. He thought if I missed, maybe they'll get the rebound. Worst, worst venue you've ever been to. Mine, Barclays is up there. Worst venue you've ever been to, whether it's concert game, just shitty fans, shitty atmosphere where you're just like, oh, why am I here? shitty atmosphere where you were just like, oh, why am I here? Well, I don't want to say this one because I don't like the way the NBA runs their league where they just have pile on teams and then smaller markets can't compete. Right. When we went to the Charlotte Hornet game. I mean, I felt like I was at a CBA game. That was weird. That was weird.
Starting point is 01:13:05 Yeah, it didn't feel right. Then I went to some legendary awful parks, though, like Candlestick Park where they used to have, like, fucking trash blowing around and, like, little tornadoes out there, cold as shit right on the bay. But I also looked at it like, you you know this is where uh you know uh joe montana and all those great bill walsh coached here so it was it was something amazing about that this was barry bonds was there this is before the whole roid scandal before everybody else did roids and became
Starting point is 01:13:39 better than barry bonds so he had to do steroids that's how I always look at him. He's a victim of the steroid era. He was the best. And then everybody cheated and got better than him. He's all right. Now I'm on it. Yeah. Yeah. No, I agree with that. Worst venue I've ever been to. I didn't like the Barclays one. Dude, I went to a concert and it was Method Man and Red man and onyx opened onyx was there you know just throw your guns in the air but right and i'm standing there and dude i'll never forget this shit and he's like yeah man and i'm just standing there and there's a bunch of people and it's like up there so there's like a lot of white and black people and onyx came out and they were just i don't know what they were they were on just some shit racial shit they're like yeah if there's any white motherfuckers out
Starting point is 01:14:29 there y'all know where to point your guns i'm standing there it's these fucking people i was just like all right i'm gonna uh you guys have a bathroom i'll tell you no it was a bad one just a bad shit arena was that continental airlines arena in jersey i saw a devil's game there oh yes i saw a nets game there it was a dump what about the what about the old nassau coliseum in long island a legendary dump because here's the thing the difference between a dump and a legendary dump is whether or not championships were won there. They won four cups in a row.
Starting point is 01:15:09 Alaba! A legendary dump is funny. Yeah. Because it's great. The old Boston Garden, one of the greatest venues I ever went to, was a legendary dump. That fucking place, Paul like I wish you could have gone there I wish you could hear the people they yelled from across the ice in the upper deck
Starting point is 01:15:34 you could hear I still remember that oh my God this guy stood up he goes Milbury eat my meat he was grabbing his dick dude you could bring fucked up signs i remember went to i went to a bruins first to quebec nordiques who are now the avalanche this guy had a sign quebec has no deeks he just had it hanging down the thing like now they would i mean he spelt it deeks he didn't say dicks um but you could never have like i don't know you would get like all upset and shit and yeah people would make these banners dude they used to come in with like a noose around like the quarterback's neck and shit just you can't do that shit anymore you see that sign that woman put up on the glass at a hockey game because i sucked your dick in high school. I always feel like all of that is photoshopped. I thought that one was real because that one was real, right?
Starting point is 01:16:32 No, that one was real because the dude looked over at it and looked at her and he's just like shaking his head laughing. A lot of them are photoshopped, but that one was like, I think that's the one that started it. And then everybody started to either try to do it and then they stopped doing it but dude he was like at the it was like in front of him it was it was what is what is the motivation of that andrew can you get that are you trying to get a free stick no but the funny thing was his face because his face was like hey what are you doing and like
Starting point is 01:17:06 yeah she kind of did that's a great way to take somebody out of their game if it's some chick he's never met before yeah yeah oh my god i just thought of a bad one. What? You just fucking. The best player on the other team. This one, yeah. Tyler, we sucked your dick in high school. Look at his face. Yeah, that's not real, dude,
