Blowing of the shofar to start the show.

It's called a shofar.
Welcome to Be an Ian with Ian.
We've got the cats scared under the couch.
A film crew.
I took the door off the hinges of the bathroom to make everything work.
Oh, you did?
Yeah.
Only to find out we're never going to use this recording space again.
Were you going to keep it off for good?
No.
Just for today.
You took all those hinges.
Look, the camera's not even in the bathroom.
Yeah, you're right.
We didn't even have to do that.
It's going to be hilarious when Olivia walks in.
Yeah, she's going to be pissed.
Oh, my God god can we get
does that camera move so we can get a zoom in on her yeah and see her be like what the fuck and
she's such a sweetheart she'll go well it's fine and then i'll get a real talking to later
what's going on with that blanket hanging over there well sound
that's my office space
and it's kind of turned
into my hoarding storage area
and I put up a blanket
so no one would see you there
and judge me.
Really?
That's why you put up the blanket?
Is that for sound?
That's nothing to do with sound.
I didn't want anyone looking in.
It looks like a trailer park
kid's fort.
You know what I mean?
There's like a cigarette burn
on one part of it.
No, I don't know what that stain is on the blanket.
It's not good.
I think it's self-tanner.
Or no.
There was some sort of incident.
I think something stained it.
I don't know.
It looks like something on fire stained it.
I should have done the other side.
Whatever.
Fuck, this is backfiring.
There's now more judgment. Look at the door to the Whatever. Fuck, this is backfiring.
There's now more judgment.
Look at the door to the bathrooms in the kitchen. The door to the bathrooms in the kitchen behind the cat wheel.
You know?
But what do you want?
It's just another day in the life of being Ian.
Meanwhile, there's an entirely empty apartment downstairs,
prime for recording space.
And producer Jordan and producer Danny
you guys didn't
know about it till you had to use the
guest bathroom for a pee pee.
And it's literally perfect.
Could have avoided this whole nightmare.
It's not a nightmare. It's bringing us closer
together. I can't even believe it i've been
saying this for so long and these guys come in here uh and also this is really not good for the
cats they are scared under the couch one behind the couch all his little eyes are looking at me
like help the other one's in the bedroom to be free, but he's still scared under the bed. You got to tell Carl he can't move in.
Oh, yeah.
And I got a guy moving in the basement.
Carl Sonnenfeld.
Kim and Olivia are going to have an affair, I swear to God.
No, he's not her type.
Yeah, but he's got-
He's tall and handsome.
So what?
No, but he's got a way.
He's got a way.
He's got like a hippie kind of way.
She doesn't like that.
Yeah, okay.

You're not anybody's type.
What? Jordan!

What? I am everybody's
type because I'm fun,
non-traditionally handsome,
and I keep you guessing on when's going to be a good day
and when's going to be a bad day.
And I make up for it with good sex
because I use that as a way of finding value
for many years of my life.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's crazy.
You just perfectly described me, too.
Yeah, well, there you go.
That's why we're such good pals.

and me and Scott Chaplin went up, and he dumped a beer on Scott,
so I slugged him in the head because there was no security.
And then I left because someone, his friend was like,
you assaulted him.
So I like fucking scoots cadaddled.

yeah really pulling at it like that until it was nice and hard. Oh, really? Yeah. You watched it until it got activated?
A hundred percent.
I watched it go from a sneed.
You could have looked away.
No, I was staring.
Why'd you watch?
What do you mean?
Where was it?
He was on the train platform
and then there was a girl
who was like looking at her phone
and he was just looking at her
hugging at her
until finally I grabbed her
and I was like, dude, get.
Was this on the sixth train
waiting for the L? No. Oh, because I saw like dude get it. Was this on the 6 train waiting
for the L? No.
Oh cause I saw that the other night. Some guy was
jerking off looking at a girl and I
got close to the girl and I was like I don't know
if I should intervene now or if he starts
like approaching. If he starts
approaching her. I had
water. I was gonna throw it at him like a cat
and then I had yeah

she was like oh thank you how long were you watching a man masturbate? Truly 15 minutes. Shut up.
Truly.
It was fully flat.
I watched him.
There was one guy just screaming over here.
So then this guy was like, pretty sure we're in crazy town.
So might as well.
Unzipped it.
Pulled his dick and balls out.
I thought it was interesting that it was.
No, they always pull their balls out.
Why do the balls?
I don't know.
But the balls always come out.
I always see him with the balls.
It's always dick and balls.
It's never just dick.
It's crazy.
And they have a big sweatshirt on, so they're underneath.
And then they pull the sweatshirt up, and it's the whole salami and the meatballs.
And why did the balls have to come out?
It's really weird.
Just the cock.
You don't need the whole thing.
Yeah.
But he brought dick and balls.

Good for him.
Because I remember because his eyes were like this.
Oh, God.
And he was just like, he couldn't help it.
Did you make eye contact with him?
Oh, I was like this at him the whole time while he was looking at the girl.
What if he was jerking off to you?
You were a helper.
Would you jerk off to this?
Never.
None of this.
Somebody got really creeped out the other day.

Are one of these guys going to the show
with us? Yeah, Danny. You're going to the show?
We're going to turnstile tonight.
It's going to be great.
I'm bringing a fanny pack to put my glasses
in a holder so I can mosh.
Nice. Do you think we're going to get
COVID? Yeah.
I've already had it nine times.
Just don't test.
My Aunt Linda is a nurse
and she teaches medicine at a school in
delaware and she told me to get the booster but she gave me a cheat on how to make sure you don't
get sick from the booster what is it okay hold on let me look at my text from aunt linda today's
her birthday by the way happy birthday aunt linda shout 23rd. Okay. So the success plan is to be super hydrated before the shot.
At least 32 ounces of water.
Then once vaccinated, take Tylenol 1,000 milligrams and keep drinking lots of water.
Everyone I've told to do that has done pretty well.
Getting it now will not protect you for tonight.
It takes 10 to 14 days to boost your immunity.
Before you got here, I was going to go get boosted so I wouldn't get COVID tonight.
Just don't test. That's not how it works.
I can't get the
booster because I got the...
When I got Moderna, every time I got my period,
it was like 15 days long. Really?
Yeah, isn't that crazy? A lot of women
had that happen. I looked at Reddit, thousands of women.
I know. You have a great joke about that.
No, your thing's about birth control.
I have a joke about that too, where then if you ask a man why they don't get the vaccine they're like because
the jews will control my thoughts true but then i have the joke about it being modernist the
hufflepuff no no the one where it's like oh yeah yeah where johnson and johnson is bad because
eight people got blood clots meanwhile every woman on birth control is like yeah it gives me heart palpitations but brian says condoms make him cheat oh god oh god i don't like that you couldn't do that no i um
you know truthfully though i don't know if it had to do with the vaccine or not but afterwards i got
like really depressed and what helped me get out of the depression was I would go around Williamsburg and cackle
at civic Jews.
Stop it.
Yeah.
And the thing is, they can't make eye contact with people that aren't Jewish.
So you can just get away with it.
You are Jewish.
I'd go up to him and be like, I want to wear that little hat.
How many times have you?
Is this?
These are all her jokes.
What's one of your jokes?
What's the one that I thought?
Oh, yeah.
If you're if you're if you're not fucking dudes, you're a bigot.
If you're not sucking dick.
I think that you should say if you're not sucking dicks, you're.
You're a what?
You're gay.
Was he?
I'm not saying it.
Oh, apparently I said that word a lot when i was in the field
you did yeah i think i said faggot like a lot you did not i think i did yeah they probably loved it

Yeah, there was like fucking moves and everything.
Someone gave him a painting and he had to act like he liked it.
Oh, they're like wet Hello Kitty girls.

they're all their culture is from the mall yeah they're very they are mall people they're they
love them they were mainly women but one guy yelled out in the middle of my set bring up brian
and i was like who's brian he's the lead singer i had just talked to him i just talked to him backstage like 15 minutes i was hostile at that
show dude the first band is a band called riverby they were great really cool i walked in the green
room and dude there's a guy in a dress dressed like a woman but he's got like a five o'clock
shadow they all got different color hair, haircuts.
Like it looks like they just got run over once by a lawnmower.
It's not good.
And I'm like, this is going to be a bad hang.
These people are going to be like, um, um, um.
They were so cool.
Awesome.
Were they young?
Great.
Young from Philly.
Yeah.
Such a fun time.
My initial like judgy instinct was way wrong.
We had a blast.
But it was so funny.
When I introduced them, I said a joke because like their names were hilarious.
Like there was a girl named Mole.
Skillet or something.
Yeah, there was a girl named Mole.
The guy dressed like a woman's name was like Kenneth.
And then like there was a girl named River and someone else named like September or some shit.
And then they had a guy named Doug.
And so I was like, you guys, you know,
my favorite part of this band
is that they're all these non-binary fun fella girls,
thems, and you know, they all have cool names.
That like River and October and March
and this is Mole and here's Transton,
but he's a guy dressed as a girl, and rounding it out, Doug.
They were up for, I didn't hang out with the band at all.
They were too young and frantic.
I hung out with the dudes who ran the whole thing,
like the big pizza beard guy.
Oh, yeah.
Did they give you your $100 stipend? They did. you know i got fucked on that yeah they gave you 10 bucks yeah
i get there there's multiple emails just so you know you get a hundred dollar stipend don't forget
a hundred dollar food stipend so i'm fucking like oh there's a french restaurant downstairs i'm
getting oysters i'm fucking duck confit yeah and so then i get there, and the fucking guy gives me a 10.
I go, oh, I was supposed to get 100.
He goes, well, I didn't think it was 100.
And then everything left over gets doled out to everyone because the man wanted more pizza.
I was like, okay.
I mean, I'm not going to cause a stink over 100 bucks,
but at the same time, I was like.
I went upstairs to where the front bottoms were.
They had every snack.
Dude, they had sandwiches, so many pizzas.
They had so many snacks.
And then downstairs in the fucking...
Downstairs, nothing.
Fucking touch-me dungeon was just like...
Yeah.
Fucking scraps and like a rubber band.
Yeah, non-binary people putting on makeup.
Like, you're putting on a button, faggot.
And I'm like, don't mind if I do.
But...
What were you going to say?
I don't want to do it
open for banned
I liked it
oh dude
they're too young
at one point
I got the entire crowd
to pull out their phones
and pop up pictures
of their cats
and they like
loved that
because I did a thing
on cat names
and then a girl
I moved on
and she goes
my cat's name is Mochi
and I was like
and I don't really care right now
and everyone was like oh no oh yeah totally they were like that real i walked out and they're like
and i was like stop cut it out immediately stop i mean i was pissed out the gate yeah i was like
just stop just oh i was such a rah-rah like yeah you have you're a happy person i don't know how you do it i was furious immediately really
yeah they were squealing i was like oh i don't know if they were blowing smoke in my ass but
they're like dude you got to open for us again like this would be great yeah i love yeah yeah
they were down but it was like i like opening for bands yeah i think yeah like i because like
event like it's tough you got to make sure you just play to like the front half
cause if you worry
about people in the back
they're gonna be talking
and it's gonna like
fuck with you
yeah
but I dig it
I think it's like
a cool like cross
whatever
like I'm friends
with that band Catbite
and I have open for them
and we've done stuff
we just filmed
a music video together
like I like the idea
of like combining
different groups
of people together
for you know like cause they're gonna get like fans through me and I'll get fans through them and for, you know, like,
cause they're going to get like fans for me and I'll get fans for them.
And also like,
you know,
I think having the same,
just like with comedy,
like having the same type of opener makes the show boring.
Having the same type of band open for you is like boring.
So I think it's better to like,
yeah,
I've liked doing it in the past.
It's just when they're 16 years old.
Oh yeah.
Squealing.
I feel so gay.
I know.
I know.
They're all in like training bras and you're like,
yeah.
And they're just like an old gal.
Yeah.
I wanted there to be some sort of like cross punk piece of shit that I'm
going to make eye contact.
Yeah.
Or like someone that'll relate to some like feeling you've had other than
like,
I can't wait till my tits grow. Yeah yeah i'm getting discharged for the first time yeah yeah yeah
yeah like give me a crowd of people that knows the sad sweet taste of death i know i just wanted
to turn back and do comedy for the stage hands you know what i mean it was crazy they were also
just so incredible they were pumped to a degree that i was like you guys are yeah they're like
They were also just so incredible.
They were pumped to a degree that I was like, you guys are.

page of the ithaca journal for what i? I had built houses in Ecuador to help whatever.
Really? Yeah.
I helped do that in New Orleans
after Hurricane Katrina.
Sounds like we have a lot in common when it comes to calamities.
I was in an MTV documentary about it.
Really? Yeah. MTV?
Yeah, it was called
some spring break thing where we went to
I can't find the clip. It's pretty funny.
I had a chin strap beard at the time.
I was ripped.
I was wearing overalls all the time.
I also went to Katrina.
Really?
Yeah.
No way.
Wow.
Well, I went down to New Orleans and they still hadn't fixed Hurricane Dammit.

I'm sorry, Andy.

Getting around.
What should we call it?
Yeah, United Way and MTV did a thing,
and I signed up for it where I spent spring break down there,
but they didn't fix stuff that got hit by Hurricane Ivan in Foley, Alabama.
So I had to go down to Foley, Alabama from New Orleans, fix those houses.
And then a bunch of people did mold patrol.
What the fuck?
We went to Biloxi, Mississippi in New Orleans.
Saw it was bad.
We saw all the houses that were like help dying okay okay i i went to katrina
there were these two old guys one was liberal one was republican
and their houses got all fucked up,
and they were enemies for like 50 years or something.
The Hatfield and McCoys.
And then they helped each other build each other's houses back up,
and they became best friends, inseparable.
I drove around with them for days.
No way.
Yeah.
Oh, that's so sweet.
It was really sweet.
Did you stay in touch?
No.
They're dead.
For sure.
100%.
Because FEMA gave them all that
money but then they never used but then that's right yeah yeah yep when when i got there we
had to sleep in a gymnasium and we all had teams and everyone called me delaware because they
mentioned delaware like we've got people from all over and then they mentioned delaware and i went
delaware and so that's what everyone called me.
And we did a team-building exercise where you had to go on stage and, like, do some performance.
And I lied and said I could beatbox.
And they were like, okay, cool.
And so, like, they wrote, like, a rap.
And they were like, Delaware, up on beatbox, yeah!
And I just went, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, wicka, wicka, wicka.
And everyone was like, what the fuck? how long did you do it

joker i used to go home from school and put on joker face paint in the mirror when i was little
i like idolized the joker yeah yeah and so what, why so serious?
That is so scary.
Why is that scary?
Imagine walking in on your fucking.
My parents were the one giving me the makeup.
It was like I was the one sneaking it.
One time my parents walked in and I had cut the face of a Barbie and flipped the head inside out and put it back on the Barbie.
That's more disturbing than me.
And then I had drawn a pig face on the inside out head.
And I remember my dad coming in and being like,
we need to get you help.
That's way more disturbing than me.
No, I don't think so.
Joker face, a little kid?
The Joker was fun.
No, the Joker was an insane asylum guy.
I didn't know that.
I was like in kindergarten. I just thought he was a fun guy that liked to laugh. I didn't know that. I was like in kindergarten.
I just thought he was a fun guy that liked to laugh.
I'm never having kids.
So, he was like my idol.
And my kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Fano, showed us pictures of her at her daughter's wedding.
And I raised my hand.
I said, Mrs. Fano, you look like the Joker.
And she called my parents to get me taken home.
And when they sat my parents down, my dad, instead of scolding me, was like, guy got a point.
Yeah.
Look at her.
Look at this ugly bitch.
Yeah.
My parents never cared.
And I was like, well, I'm trying to tell you that that's nice.
Yeah.
Because I like the Joker. I love him.
Yeah.
And she took it as an
insult and then whoa i had to get taken home and in preschool i got taken home because i was a kid
that bit other kids i believe that i believe that i was the biter i jumped the fence once and ran
home and they called my mom and they were like i ran home and they were like where's your kid and

Did you have to do the mile run?
In kindergarten?
In elementary school.
We had to run a mile every year.
I don't think so.
Oh, my God.
That was my nightmare.
We had jump rope for the heart.
I literally became a goth kid so that when it looked like I wasn't running,
it wasn't because I was fat.
It was because I was, like, rebelling.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
It worked out.
The trip pants, you can't run in those.
Well, I went to preschool down the street from my house.
Me too.
And I just left one day and walked home.

here's the thing. Jordan says that it's
disturbing that I used to put on Joker face paint after school. at the time. Yeah. Now, here's the thing. Jordan says that it's disturbing
that I used to put on Joker face paint
after school.
Well,
not in your mind it wasn't disturbing,
but if people...
It didn't scare you
that your son was dressing up
like an insane asylum?
I knew you were solid.
I thought it was a little
disturbed.
What about when I went in the stroller
on the boardwalk and stuck a fake knife
in my head and pretended I was dead?
Oh my god.
The looks
we got.
And then we were just cracking up.
Did we have like a little bandana or something on your head?
Oh, yeah, it looked like blood.
Oh, fun, fun.
Good memories only.
You used to love, in fact, remember I had to bring that tall mirror downstairs
because you were always upstairs looking at yourself.
And now there's eight cameras on you on a podcast called Being Ian.
What is wrong with you?
And he would stand in front of it and put makeup on.
And if he fell or something and got hurt, he'd run to the mirror and cry.
Oh!
All right, Mom.
All right.
All right.
All right.
What is that?
You're on air.
If he got hurt, he would go cry in front of the mirror like in an Alanis Morissette video?
That's so true.
All right.
All right, Mom.
It's called be me and not embarrass my son.
Alright, alright, mom It's called being Ian, not embarrass my son
