Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey everybody, it's Neil Brennan. Part two with Sal Vulcano. Well, hold on. Now, where were we? Afraid in hotels and showers. Is it just hotel showers or? Showers in general. Well, I lock the door when I shower is what happens. Here's the thing. Okay. Is it going to keep someone out that wants to get in? I don't know. Am I going to have fair warning? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:34 You're going to have fair warning. What are you doing? I don't know. In your house, whatever, without getting too specific. Home invasion. Let's go hotel.
Starting point is 00:00:44 You're in a hotel yeah somehow someone who works at the hotel gets into your room he's not expecting the bathroom door to be locked he doesn't have a key card for that no so he kicks it in he breaks the door down 15 seconds after the first knock you've heard what's your plan uh i'm probably going for maybe a razor in there maybe like a ceramic like maybe like a soap dish something that i could use maybe i'm ripping the shower curtain pole i i don't i wouldn't be a nude fight would be really funny it would be great like a like a clothes versus naked fight like full-on to the death yeah yeah i'm surprised i haven't seen something borat or borat one of them was naked yeah he put his fucking balls in that guy's face man yeah ass yeah also my wife um
Starting point is 00:01:39 i like when they break stuff off because i'm like jason bourne was the first guy who was really breaking shit off yeah like killing people with a book yeah yeah but i'm talking about like what you can rip a tv like right like it's shit i would never think of it's okay so the shower is different from hotels so the shower is one thing that's like will there be an intruder is there a murderer you know even though i know there's not a murderer but the feeling of like you know that horror movie like i'm in the shower you know not even it's not even um anthony hopkins psycho it's not even psycho it's just it is it probably does come from there but it also as you were saying i was like what if we'd never seen these movies yeah like is it just something in the human psyche that thinks about monsters
Starting point is 00:02:31 i guess we i've kids are like there's a monster in the bed i don't think they've seen many movies at that point right so i think there's just something in us it's like our fight or flight the reason we live. Probably, right? Yeah. So it's a vulnerability, really, is what it is. So I know I'm in there, I'm in the shower. So it's like, I'm going to just take a measure of precaution. Lock the door.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Yeah, I do it at home too. Yeah. What about when you're on the toilet? No, just in the shower. I mean, not for nothing, you're maybe more vulnerable on the toilet i understand but i can hear i'm i'm there i'm fully present i could hear anything when i'm in the shower i'm you can hear it over whatever song is looping it depends how loud it's looping that'd be hysterical if i someone killed me while i was taking a shit because i was looping crush on you by the jets
Starting point is 00:03:23 and i didn't hear them kick the door down. I don't know what, I don't even want to know. I'm only saying that because, you don't know this one? This is the grip on this. How could you know? Is it new or old?
Starting point is 00:03:33 Because I never told. You found out. It's like Phil Spector. Oh, no. It's like Lisa Lisa Cult Jam. It's like the Jets. Oh, yeah, I got it. Yeah, I can play it,
Starting point is 00:03:44 but you probably can't play it. No, I can't afford i can't i can't afford it don't you um yeah so i think it's just i can't hear can't really see you know i got soap i got you know whatever so that's what that is but the hotel and this is irrational beyond unlike a lot of the things you've heard right right go right. Go ahead. Let me hit you with my first irrationality. It's sleeping in the hotel. I sleep with the television on for the light because I'm in a space that I don't really know and it's intruder slash supernatural.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Why the supernatural wouldn't come if Mario Lopez is on the TV? tv you know what are you leaving on because i'll tell you right now that welcome video you can't the welcome is no that'll drive me crazy it's the i almost immediately get like car sick when i hear it my skin crawls and also like usually though it's matt it's also mario lopez yeah and he doesn't leave sometimes i actually his voice makes me feel a little comfort. And those dimples. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:04:47 You can hear the dimples. I thought, I didn't know what to mention. But I'll go off of him. I'll just lower it. It's not even about what's on because I'm not using it to fall asleep. I'm going to sleep. But I just lower it. I just need it on so that whatever comes in the night doesn't come.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Now, I should tell you you i don't really believe in ghosts per se but if you told me to go into a haunted house i'm scared as shit i had one encounter of what i believe in my life was something like that even though i don't believe it what i just don't believe my whole family believes that i make fun of them what was your encounter? I was sleeping in my bed. I was home alone and I sleep with six pillows. Fucking this guy blows his own. But it kind of was organic. So I got one on my back again because I just like to know what's right behind me. I got one in between my legs.
Starting point is 00:05:41 I got one for my arms, which is one, two, three. No, but I do. And I do a sandwich on the head. I guess. No, but I do sleep with six. I'll tell you what it is. I double up on the arms because a lot of times, especially hotel pillows, they're like fucking sheets of loose leaf.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Yeah. So I put two. Don't bother. Don't waste my time. Or it's a feather. I do two. If it's synthetic, I might be able to get away with one how do you get the sandwich up top easy what do you mean is that first what's the order of like first behind my back tucked in on your back no no i'm isa side
Starting point is 00:06:15 sleeper great so i go back it's a healthy way to sleep pillow gets tucked in even it's not just right behind me i kind of tuck it under like love handle a little bit like tuck it under my back yeah so it stays firm in place okay legs next arm gets laid down the bottom pillow is already down and then the last thing i do is i take the top pillow and i put it on like that like the sandwich and i have the c-pap so that's fine and the whole night what i do is a series of flips of the pillow to keep it cool throughout the night but this is like you going to sleep sounds like uh like a katie perry tour of like the amount of gear yeah you gotta bring you got like 10 semi's yeah exactly right no it's it's taxing uh you know and sometimes uh i i'm at someone's house or this is i'm in a scenario where i can't
Starting point is 00:07:07 have six or five or four the best i could do is the the best i could do is i need three or i won't fall asleep have you ever gone to like bed bath me on at a hotel no i'll request pills hotel but like on this tour bus yeah or on someone's home or something like that how woman i'm trying to think the last time i slept at someone's home uh i do my family lives out of state oh yeah things like that i'll just be like that's your pillow that you give me my sister and i'll be like no i'm going right to bed bath and i'm getting i'm getting what if so you must ask in the afternoon well i know the setup for my family okay you know and then the tour bus i prep for as well like the first stop on our when i ever do tour buses which i do once in a while is is to get pillows blankets all my
Starting point is 00:07:55 own linens brand new slippers like that because i can't no shoes on the bus you know all that stuff so i everything is my own no shoes yeah but that's a rule i think a lot of people have oh i mean i know like no taking a dump in the air yeah yeah i mean that's a i mean you you you were in a airport bathroom with these i'm assuming at some point you can walk right into your home who wants to know inquiring a lot of people all your listeners um no like uh i don't know no shoes in the house right just the thing about no you can wear shoes but uh no actually i have wood floors though i they're getting restained right now so i don't know how it's gonna be no but once they're all settled you walk around the house in your outdoor shoes i have neil you have to reconsider i don't i
Starting point is 00:08:40 well you have to i'm not a what you step on and track into your house I don't like people's slips they're wonderful I'm aware of house slips I like walking on my socks love it yeah I take my shoes off at the door it just feels a little bit but I'm only I sometimes I do it because I'm doing it now because of the floors my place in in venice i would leave my shoes on not like i'd take them off in the on the first floor but you know what i mean yeah so and then so on the bus that's that's like that's my home that's my living yes so it's i don't do it but uh yeah the pillow situation i'll tell you nothing i don't like piles of shoes is the problem i don't like that either because it just reminds reminds me of going to Catholic school and going to someone's mud room.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Yes. Yes. Just like a hundred percent. Everyone just throws them in the smell. I remember. Yeah. Just bad sneakers and like one glove from Chris. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:09:37 From like when it's a cold weather climate, it's just one. Yeah. It's always all fucked up that room. Yeah. It's a bad room. It's just a hodgepodge. It's no good. Yeah. When I tested out my pillows pillows the first time i ever moved out and i bought pillows i bought every single pill one of every single pillow at bed bath and beyond there was like 11
Starting point is 00:09:53 of them and i bought one of every single one and i brought them home and i put on two pillow covers over it and i slept eat with each of them about one night or two to narrow down what i should get and those are pillows that went from ten dollars to 150 bucks and the reason i mentioned that i i put on two pillow covers plus plus a pillow case because i knew i was returning them yes i i you know i i just tried to keep it on the up and up yeah i've got to yeah and so the indulgence pillow with the 20 coupon that came came to $32 was the winner, even over like down $100 pillows. And I bought eight of them.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Will you tell me about the indulgence pillow? Yeah, it's synthetic, but you never know it. And it has a weight to it. The weight is what I love the most. It's not firm. It's completely loose but full so you know it's it's great for a pillow fight like that kind of had some weight to it so when i put it over my head what i love is it blocks out all sound and light and so i've trained myself to almost sleep
Starting point is 00:10:59 in like a sleep it blocks out this sound and light that you're creating with TV and a CPAP machine? Correct. Correct. Anything. Anything. Any sound. I started doing it so long ago that now if I ever find myself in a situation where I have to fall asleep without no sound, I mean, because it really, it's like putting in those
Starting point is 00:11:18 earplugs. Are those, is that pillow still available? The last I checked it was because people come to me a lot of my friends a lot of comics i mean what's first of all what's the promo code tell them the promo code for indulgence pillows no no the promo code is simply by the way bedbeth and beyond if you if you're watching and we know that you are make the store 20 off the whole save a forest yeah off the top well they do you know this about bedbeth no they have the mailers that are 20 off your purchase that they they're as easy to get as water they're like pennies yeah you get they come in
Starting point is 00:11:51 every everything you've ever but like every newspaper there's a everyone has a stack of like a hundred of them in their house okay and every time you got to go you got to give go there with these freaking coupons and give them it for each it's not the entire purchase it's per item once in a while they'll do an entire purchase you hold on to that for dear life because that has the power of unlimited unlimited coups it's the all the rings in the so the 20 off coupon you just get it anywhere really and and the thing is they have expiration dates on them but they don't expire and that's a company policy not a lot of people know you're welcome it's
Starting point is 00:12:25 a bunk expiration date bunk they'll accept it no matter what so the pill is a 40 pillow comes out to 32 bucks but comics come to me to ask me for things like sneakers pillows things like because i i'm a very educated consumer sure and so like like i've bought those pillows for multiple people because i they just like what? And does everybody like them? It's 100% success rate. God bless. Yeah. How did you get to six?
Starting point is 00:12:54 To six pillows? Yeah. Like, what was your art? I started off probably with four. And then I added the one in the back. And I added the second one to, even when I sleep. Yeah. Like, when you, like, high school high school like when did you start to go um when you really start
Starting point is 00:13:10 blowing it out uh probably 2010 okay and i know that because that's when i moved from the basement apartment to like a three-bedroom house or you know so i i i was i felt like an adult i actually went and got before prior that i was on the couch. Yeah. And that's when I started that. Guest room. How many pillows did they get? As many as they want. Meaning, okay.
Starting point is 00:13:33 There's four on the bed and I have a closet with easily another 12 to 15 pillows. I have so many pillows because my family comes to me a lot as well. And so sometimes holidays or whatever, it's not uncommon for me to have 12 people sleeping in the house. And I also am like, if some of them want more than one pillow, I have to do like, I'm the opposite.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Like I said, I want everyone, I just want to be, I want them to feel. So I buy all those pillows just to have them. So if my mom comes in, like, I need four pillows, I give it a four. Sebastian Maniscalco is in heaven smiling right now in knowing i was like he did i miss something yeah this is my way of announcing i'm much like sebastian yes i am a lot like sebastian it's it's italian ocd yeah it's italian entertaining ocd like you're not he used to that joke i got orangina nobody got orange yeah it's true you got four pillows i have the if you open my fridge too you'll be delighted this 15 things to choose from all stocked lined up of all labels lined i mean i shouldn't even have to ask
Starting point is 00:14:45 yeah yeah but uh how many how many refrigerators you got uh just one in my place right now but um yeah you don't have a back garage one with for extra meats or not right now no okay but i shall yeah is it italian or is it just i think it's a little italian yeah i don't know like i because i am i'm half italian but i don't feel like i get it from being italian or otherwise i feel like wanting to have a good facility you know what i mean like like for instance my house i got a bidet in my toilet yeah you think i'm given the put no the spare toilet i agree with you that's a complete reach but i will tell you like their linens and i'll tell you what they do have they have the dish spray like dishes you know the sprayer in the kitchen sink yeah for whatever reason people live in my
Starting point is 00:15:37 house before installed the one of the sprayers they were um in the iranian yeah from what i've been told persians like a spray oh they use a dish spray on their ass yeah oh i've seen that it's i've always been like that what a weird clunky type of thing it's just a worse bidet yeah it's just like it's there it's the same idea yeah i mean maybe you've you've washed your mouth i want to know something you could do with that go on go i did this to my mom as a kid i tortured her i would put scotch tape around that which was invisible and then when she turned on the sink it would automatically shoot out and it does no defense no yeah and that's why you locked the door that's why i locked the door you put the whammy on yourself this episode is sponsored by blue chew let's talk about sex guys shouldn't you always be at your best listen up bluechew.com

Starting point is 00:20:12 i and so thinking about them and then i think about like you know just my grandparents and then the moments that they passed i have one grandma left but like we're all terrible circumstances and i put myself there and then i just i just picture like it just it's so sad like if i have a kid one day i realize like i'm 46 right now if i have a kid one day let's say i live till 90 which is generous i guess right yeah it's another 44 years that means i won't know anything about my child after they're 40 after they're 44 i don't know how their story ends i don't know what comes of their life what probably the most important thing to me in my life i i don't it's only a
Starting point is 00:20:51 partial relationship and like that kills me you know like that just makes me so sad and i start to think about like you know same thing like my grandpa who was my best friend like didn't even see me do this he just he only knew my story up to a certain point i just feel like that i mean the good news is he's not gonna be able to see this podcast that's right yeah so well you never know yeah you really don't you don't know no i don't know no well so let's not make but anyway no i uh no no i i just i i get to weird spaces like that like well i gotta say how tragic is it that you know like i won't see my child's life like my their whole life it's just like you'll but it's sad it's just that you don't think of it like that i never you know wood was on here
Starting point is 00:21:39 and he said you know he's like he he's like thinks of his son as like i gotta get him prepared for when i'm not here yeah so it's been happening forever we didn't finish the ghost story but if you believe in any sort of after thing i believe again most recent belief is like we die and then we go into a thing that our human uh body and souls couldn't understand because i did dmt yeah i did dmt and i went to this thing that was like oh this is incomprehensible okay and i've been thinking about doing that well i can talk to you about ayahuasca dmt was way too much for me i can't believe you did that knowing what i know yeah like uh i it helped me long term okay but i'll tell you i've like bored people with it enough on here sure it was fucking insane yeah and i couldn't but the punchline is i'm all of my mental health stuff's better wow like and just
Starting point is 00:22:56 coming out of that or did you have to process uh i did it a week later I started having a reactivation, and I was basically in between life and it, this other thing, was so disoriented, thought I was like, well, I'm just going to have to kill myself if this keeps up. Not suicide. I mean, it would have been technically, but it wasn't depressed suicide. It was like, I was like, this is not, I had the thought, not only is this the worst day of my life this is the worst day of a life any life this is so disorienting i got when you're the highest of high it's so far past anything i've ever okay i actually had the thought am i in god's imagination shit you're not i was so far past i told somebody that's why i'm scared i was aiming for god and i
Starting point is 00:23:45 missed my stop like i was i couldn't so then i got half a percent better every day but that's around 200 days yeah i was doing the quick math so yeah so it was around seven eight months really of like recovery from that and still you would do it again dmt i would never do it you would change that would you take away the experience this that's the problem the problem is i'm better than i've ever been so that's so fucking wild i'm better in every possible way that's amazing i know is that i mean there are horror stories or no the fucked up thing is this is a horror story okay do you know what i mean but yeah no people i think i was like psychotic i'm too scared because i don't think i can handle that i i
Starting point is 00:24:37 mean no one can right but i really don't think i'd be able to handle it if i came back that space that's i've never done acid i don't want to hallucinate i don't you know so i don't know if ayahuasca is hallucinating if it is yeah you listen okay i mean i just heard a lot about that and someone offered a shaman to come and i was like i thought about it because i do have all these things that i like this stuff it would it i believe i want to be at peace with it would help you i believe it would but but yeah no it's it's you was i had done like 15 times were you terrified going in or were you like i uh i was a little i was kind of like i kind of was like that what the first time i did it was
Starting point is 00:25:17 kind of more fun and pleasant did you just say you've done 15 times oh i thought you did it once and i'm asking if you would take that back no i did dmt once oh did ayahuasca i did bufo alvarez dmt 5mao dmt i did that once that was enough i was gonna have done like 15 60 oh okay yeah okay wow yeah i was supposed to do it in like day after tomorrow and i cancel it because i don't feel like i need it because i'm so from the dmt i'm so much i like i'm in it i'm in the i'm in he like i'm i'm not gonna say i'm here but i'm just i feel really like correct what does that feel like to you to have somewhat course corrected something that would be probably what you thought was impossible like how does it feel to be on the other side do you feel like you're on cloud nine do you feel like you're you feel like you're reborn like do you feel like a new person do you feel like are your days you even your days your day-to-day life is it is it different in a way that it's the
Starting point is 00:26:31 like i have the same basic habits or like same basic interests but like the crying thing i'm more apt to cry now i feel weirdly vindicated because I kept going like, no. I told somebody I'm like a Karen for mental health. I was like, no. Send it back. Send it back. Send it back. And I would go to China and get like, I did all kinds of shit that I've itemized and I
Starting point is 00:26:57 finally got the thing. But the process of just the DMT was so harrowing. I couldn't even. I literally had the thought, I wouldn't wish this on Hitler. And you know I don't like Hitler. Right. You can't. No.
Starting point is 00:27:15 What's the like? Yeah. Nothing. So, yeah. So, I would. So, that's. Oh, then no fucking way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:22 So, DMT, I would never. So, then is it worth it then it's not worth dmt again harrowing you said harrowing it was insane but i made it what's it like coming out like right coming out of it are you like is it like a horror movie where you're like you know like no because you you're slowly like dmt is really fast alone no i was with a couple people and were they doing it as well they do like a little like boop just to be in it with you how much is a boop the person who does it breathes out all the way deep breath breathes out all the way and then on the like okay here you go so you're taking it as much as you possibly can and they just go
Starting point is 00:28:06 like like just a little and are you gone from them are you like in your head and i'm i went you're not in that room space i'm there you basically just like fall back um and they catch you they like but while this is going on are you looking around at them and in that room i'm not there got it where where was i great question i was in a place that michael pollan described as before the big bang that's that's it's that's heavy wild yeah it's it's a chrissy d wild yeah wild yeah but wilder than wild yeah i can't even it's hard to even conceive it really is hard to conceive it really like and that's the weird thing it's like open up my conception so when you talk about death i'm like ah i gotta say i would love to feel that way yeah no about death because it's it's really like it affects me very negatively the but the with aya
Starting point is 00:29:06 with ayahuasca i was an atheist until i did ayahuasca and then literally the third time i did it i was like oh i'm in the presence of god okay and i haven't literally i'm like oh yeah i'm not you got me that i just needed to feel it. It was the first, it was like what they said church was supposed to be. You know, you go to church and you're like, this is nothing. This is nothing. It's a play that I've just seen over and over. This was like, oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Wow. And I don't have any shame. It's not religious. It's just like, I'm like, oh yeah, I believe in God. It's like, I believe it like I'm wearing a brown shirt. It's not religious it's just like i'm like oh yeah i believe in god like not it's like i believe it like i'm wearing a brown shirt like it's not like and let me tell you something it's just my own belief i don't need to proselytize them right but you get a different sense of death that's really interesting yeah but having said that yeah you're there are moments in ayahuasca you're not far from it yeah it's not gonna happen it's not gonna happen yeah i gotta
Starting point is 00:30:05 tell you you're not like a wall you can see it you're not dying but you're in the realm although a couple times you gotta face it i did die i technically kind of did die once outer space here let me set the same frame uh this is after this is where you're gonna this is absolutely gonna turn you off forever i drank too much ayahuasca okay and like it's not working it's not working it's not working and i went i remember my first ayahuasca sure and i then i had the thought like what and my brain went like and i was like i'm pink fluid i'm gonna be fucking i can't fucking believe this so the fact that i was actually conscious looking back i was like all right i was there so like i'm in a. I don't know how long. And then next thing I know, I'm in outer space by myself.
Starting point is 00:31:08 And the universe was being killed. Saturn, rivers, black holes, nebula, babies. And I'm just there by myself. And it was the scariest shit. Until DMT, it was the scariest shit until dmt was the scariest thing ever okay two questions one what is your physical body doing at this point are you just frozen or yeah i was like pretty i was i was sitting there i was unaware of the room ian everett was there okay um and you but so you to them you're just like this yeah no well i started breathing in a way where i went
Starting point is 00:31:49 like and i remember thinking just breathe like this in case the universe doesn't die let this be like a beacon ian said i was doing that for three hours i was going to ask you how long it is for the ayahuasca and the dmt dmt is the the actual like before the black before the uh big bang was like 25 minutes and then i did it at eight and was walking home at nine oh wow the problem was the reactivation which happens more often than they tell you okay um and that can happen at any time yeah that's hard to say it happens like you generally in the first month or something okay after you've done it well the weird thing is for a while i was really scared of death and then slowly over time i've gotten like more like yeah i'll just it'll
Starting point is 00:32:42 just be that and i'll understand it like i'll know where to go because i didn't know i had no orientation whatsoever like what's breathing didn't know wow didn't know what direction was didn't didn't know and literally know that you didn't know now looking back but in it i'm you have you have full memory of it no i have like some moments moments uh in it it's you're grasping it's i said i was drowning on incomprehension it's like you're in this thing that you don't know i i felt myself form a synapse in my mind yeah like there were no connected parts of my brain and then like i like felt it yep i i had that feeling one time in amsterdam when i accidentally smoked hash uh which i i wasn't smoking anything at the time now i smoke weed but and i took a lot
Starting point is 00:33:40 of it and uh i it was the worst night of my it was the worst experience of my life yeah uh it was high and i was afraid of everything and i was and i was the way i describe it is i was having a million thoughts at a time and i was suffocating myself with my own thoughts i couldn't a million at a time you're like you're like yeah like but you can't you can't get it and they kept coming and i couldn't process them and they kept kept coming coming it was it was very wild but and that's just fucking ash but um i did feel that feeling and i said i said this is the worst night about i thought people i thought people everyone wanted to kill me yeah i didn't have i was not I wasn't anywhere. I wasn't like on earth. I was at the symphony. When this was going on.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Yeah. The Amsterdam Symphony and Rufus Wainwright. If you know who that is. I knew who he was. I didn't know who he was. I never had seen him. And I was with my girlfriend and we bought tickets. We came out of the Van Gogh Museum and it was right across the street and it was getting dark.
Starting point is 00:34:44 And we're like, what are we going to do tonight? And I saw it on the marquee and I'm like, oh my God, this is perfect. One night only. Yeah. So she goes, do you want to smoke? You know, I didn't do it, but she was like, we're here, you know? Yeah. So she ran and got something and came back.
Starting point is 00:34:55 I didn't look at it. I smoked it. I, I went inside and we sat down. A bunch or just one hit? I took two big hits, but again, I did not smoke at all. Yeah. And, uh uh and it was nuts i i literally was telling her that everyone in there wanted to kill me and i in my head i levitated to the to the literally to the to the near the ceiling in the place and i was looking down at
Starting point is 00:35:21 everybody and i started to cry and i none of this so far it sounds that much different than your regular life now that you mention it yeah no it was it was fucked up and i started to picture him doing stuff on stage and it was really fucking weird i was talking to an old guy next to me. He was in a tux. And it was just, I actually, it's one of my, I close with it sometimes. I actually tell the story. But it was like, it was terribly, terribly unsettling. Of course.
Starting point is 00:35:55 And I got dry mouth and I thought I got poisoned because they gave me hot wine. And we walked in like a complimentary hot wine in the foyer. And I didn't even, never heard of that. I still never heard of it. I slammed two hot wines and then I was. You just told me about it? Iyer and i didn't even never heard of that and i still never i slammed two hot wines and then i was you just told me about it i've never i've never heard of it even if i hear it again i'll say i've never heard of that yeah it's so stupid and then my throat got i mean sandpaper dry and i couldn't swallow when i turned to her and i was like they i'm poisoned i'm poisoned right now i can't breathe i can't breathe we have to leave she's kept me like calm down it started like just relax you're okay i'm right here i'm like i can't breathe and she's i'm like
Starting point is 00:36:28 they poisoned me man and she's like who's they and i'm like fucking they and she's like how do you think you got poisoned she's with me and i and i just was sitting there and i went the wine the hot wine and she goes i had the hot wine and i went you're next literally whispering this whole thing you know and she goes go in your go in your fanny i had a fanny pack she goes go in your fanny pack get a rikola because i carry a rikola i always carry like chapstick rikola pen and uh i went in and dude i swear to god i i i looked down this is all i tell them something but i really i looked down my pant my back fanny pack was on the floor and it looked like it was like ah man it looked like it was maybe 300 yards away yeah and i just was staring at it like 300 yards away impossible i'm gonna get yeah like five
Starting point is 00:37:15 minutes and then i literally was like and i i watched yeah you don't even understand like what's my hand my hand is standing to 700 feet whatever. Like, what's my hand? I watched my hand extend to 700 feet, whatever it was, 300 feet. I grabbed it and I watched it come back up. I was in my seat like this. I was in my seat like this. She's like, what are you doing? My fucking arm is on fire. It was like three minutes.
Starting point is 00:37:37 Yeah. And then I got the fanny pack and then I opened it and I took out the Regal. And the Regal was an individual. Not like individual, like when you buy a bag it was like individual like almost like if it were to be like they have these ones that are like if it was for individual sale it's like almost like a yeah yeah like a bag of chips yeah yeah and then i held it and i was like i have i don't know how to get in that and i just held it in my hand for like five minutes man that might that sounds like spice there's a spice there's a thing called spice that is crazier than weed or uh hash hash is nuts though well i said to
Starting point is 00:38:14 her i go what is this because she goes it's calm down because i was like i she was you just smoked weed i was like i've smoked weed in my life i never felt this way and then we looked at the package and it said hash and i was like what the fuck is hash who the fuck is hash um when the fuck i had i had a i had a uh thought when you're talking about dry mouth another ayahuasca moment you wouldn't like there was a point when i would drink ayahuasca where i'd go to this is after the outer space thing i was like i'm not mad at ayahuasca i just drank too much but i had like a form of ptsd i think like anyway i would drink and i would go to a thing called mammal time i called it mammal time because i would be like in the desert a million years ago and like i had to remind myself that i was a mammal and i didn't i'd be
Starting point is 00:39:08 like i can't swallow i don't know how to swallow i can't swallow i don't and then i okay and then i go like you're gonna lose your mind you're gonna lose your mind you're not gonna make it i'm getting anxiety right now i know it was wild like i i don't understand why you would do it 10 more because i would i also would spend time with god oh you know i mean the whole thing yeah the whole thing yeah let's ground where were we on that one we're we were just in that what i'm saying is with death part of it is you're just a good boy i mean that's again you're a good boy who loves people. Yeah. And you don't want them to die or leave you or fracture a relationship. You're very empathetic.
Starting point is 00:39:49 You got to imagine when people are about to die, like what that must feel like. Like a life of wondering when and how. And wondering if this is it. Like maybe I'm going to, maybe I'm coming, maybe I might pass out. Maybe I come back. Maybe I don't come back. Maybe I'm alone like i had one of my family members uh hit their head and and and they were alone and like i just am torn apart apart by the thought that that's how they left us and
Starting point is 00:40:18 that they were alone what they must have been thinking and no one there to help and a whole life full of memories and love and everything and you're laying there and that's how how it was written and you're gonna die from an accident and no one was there and and what that person must have been feeling and then anyone else like my other grandpa who was actually in hospice and and passed and you know it's just in those moments it's you're so alone And my one remaining grandma right now is getting dementia pretty bad. And that's another thing I think about that's so tragic, right? All we have is our experience and memories.
Starting point is 00:40:52 That's all we have is our experience and our memories and our loved ones that are there. You know, like you remember all the moments in your life that were wonderful and beautiful and who these people mean to you and what you learned and who you are. And that all just goes away you have no memory of it's just like death in itself yeah you you then she still knows who we are but short-term memory out the window if i tell her that i just bought a new car that's it 30 seconds later she'd be like whose car is that now that's happened in the last six months or so a year but like she doesn't remember her life unless i remind her she doesn't remember where
Starting point is 00:41:29 she lived for 50 years like that kind of thing and now at certain times in the night or this that she'll almost also be like i don't know where i am or who you are for a moment which means i think that's the beginning to that happening worse. And I just think about how tragic that is. Again, really, this isn't logged onto comedy, this podcast? I mean, not after today. Okay, great. But go ahead. Great.
Starting point is 00:41:52 So maybe we'll rank in a tragedy. In a different category. But you got to think about that. It's like, it is the most tragic fucking thing. And the same thing happened, like when when my grandpa he went into the nursing home right and he was in the army and he worked his whole life and he bought a home and everyone lived in that home it was a two-family home at some point or another our whole family lived in that house and he was 95 uh he was uh less than two months away from 96 so he lived a long great
Starting point is 00:42:22 life right he's gonna make his pension yeah go ahead well speaking of the pension right he goes in there they take a hundred percent of everything you have he was in the nursing home for a couple of years uh or more it depleted his entire entire life's work and savings and how long not a year and a half a couple years something like that why they how were they able to take his because they if you have money like it was only like subsidized by what have you and then like they had to take like it's like to stay in a nursing home like a good one is they could charge you like 20 grand a month or something like that jesus and then hear his life's work at 95 that he could have left to his kids or
Starting point is 00:43:02 anything at all anything yeah like is 100 gone just to keep him in a place that isn't even great so he can slowly get worse and then at the and then everything he worked for is gone it's just it's just a raw deal life is like i don't i i don't like how much is it how much of it is like someone like i have a great life i. I remember everyone. I'm surrounded by all my loved ones. I'm not in pain. I love you guys. I'll see you later. And I appreciate everything.
Starting point is 00:43:30 And it was a great life. It just doesn't happen. That's like a happy marriage. You know what I mean? It's like it happens sometimes. Right. But for the most, you know, it's all. I have a different theory about end of life, which I think it's overrated
Starting point is 00:43:46 in that if you have a great meal and then the desserts shitty, I'm not going to be like the whole, it wasn't worth it because fuck this dessert. You had a great dinner. Yeah. But what if you die at the dessert? You're got in this metaphor you die yeah i know i'm just saying but i'm not gonna just because the end sucked you know what i mean yeah but like they don't even ah it's just terrible i get it we have a thing human beings have a recency bias we
Starting point is 00:44:17 think some movies are we think they're good because like the bloopers were good okay so i love bloopers. Who doesn't? It's actually what I based the little nucleus of my show around, the theory of it, because we are allowed to not do stuff, and the failure is funny, too. And I'm like, we should be able to laugh and laugh if we can't do it. When you laugh the hardest is when you're not allowed to laugh. Right. And that's part of what bloopers are.
Starting point is 00:44:41 Yeah. You know, when you're a kid laughing in church, that's when you laugh the hardest. And so we have to keep our composure and not break in front of these people, and that's part of what bloopers are yeah you know when you know when you're a kid laughing in church like that's when you laugh the hardest and so we have to keep our composure and not break in front of these people and that's when it's the hardest to do when this absurdity is going on and we're not supposed to laugh yeah and if we even quiver just a little it's it's funny to a viewer of course and and it's funny to us who are watching their friend do this and i i was like it's i said literally was like we need to take the magic of what a blooper is and try to make that a formula of what we did we did a garbage episode on chappelle show a garbage episode we did an episode it's episode 12 of or 11 of season 2 okay the sketches that
Starting point is 00:45:19 didn't work oh okay we did a whole show it's like we're the time haters and fucking all this was that when you were showing extra footage yeah like africa mumbata and that stuff yeah like dave at the podium yes yeah yeah yeah so we just because it was like we didn't we didn't have any material yeah and i was like yeah you were pitching right off camera like fucking i was like let's just we got to do a garbage show we have to do like we had good and then it's funny to see shit that doesn't work exactly right um but i'm with you it's so profoundly scary and that's from the point of view of the person probably i know a buddy of mine said that his grandmother was excited to die she was going to meet jesus which i think is
Starting point is 00:46:06 like that's actual faith in religion yeah uh but that's again incredibly rare i almost thought about like i've had thoughts of like maybe i have to get crazy religious and believe in god because it's like it's a mechanism to deal with that you know what i mean but yeah you know you think of like i don't want to bet like you think of like i'm very close with my family um extremely so like four pillows in your guest room you know so like i just can't imagine the moment where someone i love more than myself knows that they're parting and we both maybe know if that moment because that moment happens sometimes there and and and what they must be feeling like in that moment because that moment happens sometimes there and and and what they must be feeling like in that moment and that i can't do anything about it yeah all you can
Starting point is 00:46:51 do is just sit with them and tell them you love them yeah i've done that yeah right but that's all that's it that's like there's a thing i know so let So let's just say, so now I got to like, I got to keep those thoughts at bay every day. Yeah. It's like somebody said, when bad news is shared, it's halved. And when good news is shared, it's doubled. Do you know what I mean? Like when you share a bad time with somebody, it's like they take half of it. And when you share a good time it's like right double as much fun
Starting point is 00:47:25 yeah no it's i didn't even say it right that's how good it's saying it i don't even remember what else is on that keep tags on my clothes yeah like you had written to me like make you feel like something's wrong with you something's wrong with you or that you're alone in the world or what have you i something's wrong with you there so i i um i keep the tags on because i don't like that the rule is once you rip the tag you can't return it and are you you return a lot of stuff it sounds like no but if i want to i want to have the option you keep receipts a lot of receipts dude boxes i hope people paused it at home and bet whether you keep it or not yeah i i have gotten better with the receipts but this is a weird thing i also keep certain receipts to just as a reminder of a time not like oh i went to cancun and i bought a like i bought a straw hat but like you
Starting point is 00:48:33 know i went to cancun i bought a straw hat like a you know a certain dinner or i don't know sometimes i'm just like oh that reminds me of that like a program yes although i did you say the program i got rid of all them yeah i got rid of all them you had you had play bills and all that shit i used to have that until when i did a big a big like i gotta stop this shit purge yeah did it hurt it does sometimes not hoarder level i'm not okay but i'm like you know like pre-order pre-minor minor league triple a hoarder i get rid of stuff but i save stuff that i don't need to i i do sometimes have a sentimental attachment to inanimate things you're gonna get dinged and it's gonna come up
Starting point is 00:49:17 behind you that's fine sentimental attack that's how it works in the show some things come up behind oh is that right yeah yeah uh sentimental attachment to inanimate things talk to me about that you want to know the most i never i don't think i've ever said this but you want to know the weirdest craziest one that i still don't understand and it's kind of embarrassing when i was in grammar school i don't know if it's maybe because my parents got divorced when i was four and i have like attachment or something issues i don't know what it is that's one of the things I want to try to find out, but therapy, but like my mom used to make me my lunch to go to school in a brown bag
Starting point is 00:49:51 and she used to write my name on it in her handwriting. Yeah. And I would go to school, I would eat my lunch and then I would take the brown bag back home and I would keep it. And then she found it one day and she's like, what are all these brown bags? And I'm like, i didn't want to throw it away because you wrote on it and it's your handwriting on there and i just i just felt bad to throw it away like that's don't even understand why she
Starting point is 00:50:15 was she touched by it she was touched but then was also like no you can't do that you know like you're gonna get a lot she was like she was it was more like no you don't have to don't worry but like that's not something you need to worry like think about like that you know whatever but i did that for a while and i and i and i don't it's fucking weird i don't know why i did that well it's good boy it's all good a lot of this is categorized by good boy receipts is like no one's gonna fuck me or not okay so that's i'm a good boy you're a bad boy my cousin got me on the receipts because yeah exactly my cousin did this thing where he would oh this is bad he would like when we were younger he would like steal clothes uh-huh he would steal tags okay Okay. Tags of clothes. Okay. And then he'd go home and put a tag on his clothes and then return his clothes for money.
Starting point is 00:51:11 And I was like, how the fuck do you do that? And he goes, dude, go on eBay. $5 for the tagging machine. That was like my gateway. And I went on, I bought that tagging machine. And the reason I did that. For $5. For five bucks. I still have it. To this dayging machine. And the reason I did that. For $5. For $5.
Starting point is 00:51:25 I still have it. To this day, that one. Working? 25 years ago. It's in my junk drawer in my utility closet. Working. And I have it still. I mean, your junk drawer must be really fun.
Starting point is 00:51:36 No, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But so what I would do. But my house is a does it my house is it's not like a hoarder house it's like you wouldn't so so what i bought that because then i could take the tag off and i would save the tag right so i i used to keep them on but now i could take the tag off i had them in like a cigar box like a like a blunt box or whatever and i would just keep them there so that that's where and if i ever was like oh this this this sucks this shirt it's like uncomfortable or shrunk
Starting point is 00:52:10 immediately or it got a hole in it too fast or it's boxy it's not unflattering i would be like oh i'll take it and i tag it and bring it back well how does the tagging machine which tag is it it's the one the plastic like the plastic like shooter it's the big dongle on one side and then the thicker one on the other? Yeah. It's like the little piece and then the larger piece of plastic. Okay. I bet you in my jacket right there, I have the tag of the pocket of that jacket. The receipt.
Starting point is 00:52:37 The tag to the jacket I wore. I guarantee you I have that. I want to save it. I feel like I have it. I'm going to go get it and we're going to save it for the'm gonna go feel like i have it i'm gonna go get it we're gonna save it for the end it's in most of my stuff like the tag uh it's like the jordan thing when was the last time no you never got caught no i didn't do anything wrong no your cousin yeah he did wrong did he get caught bad boy good boy bad boy good yeah no he didn't get caught but
Starting point is 00:53:01 he i actually end up getting wrapped into that because the department stores like macy's and stuff like that and like uh marshall's they caught on to it and so they would ask for your license on a return and then if you return more than like x amount in a certain amount they would flag you and you'd be banned and so he got banned from a couple places first i did on his well then i was the guy that went and made returns for him. So I was, what do you call that? Accomplice. How often were you doing returns?
Starting point is 00:53:30 For him? Yeah. I probably did two or three times. You could, but so what do you, do you return one thing? You return three things? Yeah. And you get 180 bucks in cash? So it used to be cash in the beginning.
Starting point is 00:53:44 And then they caught on and changed it to like you got nailed like a cashier then it was gift cards but at one point it was like a check your check go fuck yourself exactly fuck you um but you do it as no i just do it as literally a fail safe everything i do is to be prepared for like if if i want i that's where a lot of it comes from i want to be fully prepared for any scenario are you a prepper no so you're not my mom became one in the last few years because of fucking facebook and shit like that well yeah she's got like dry she's got like asher now like army food i can't went to a house there was a bin this big i went to move it i put and it was like it weighed like a hundred pounds like what is in here she's like food i'm like food what do you
Starting point is 00:54:31 mean i open it's packets she's like it's good for like 30 years i'm like what is this she goes you don't know if you're gonna need it i'm like when do you think you're gonna need a bin full of food that doesn't expire and like whatever when the shit gets the fan she says she's a duck takes apple doesn't fall far from the tree yeah it doesn't can i can i read you the last text she sent me i would love it okay i i only know this because i'm i i keep all her texts because i was gonna make a little book out of it you screenshot them yeah and then i keep them in a folder you know there's a service you can get them framed yes i do know that yeah she writes she sends me a photo of a person in a marching band yep okay this is the this is the text that follows it great this is your cousin
Starting point is 00:55:18 sophia in the saint patrick's day parade on friday she is my cousin sonia's granddaughter her daughter kim Kimberly's kid. She has an older sister named Isabella. They're from Maryland. Kimberly and her husband work for the government. Secret stuff we would not know about. That's what came with that photo. Yeah, it's funny with moms.
Starting point is 00:55:41 It's like something happens where they start to think any information about connections and family yeah is automatically oh do we become that like that's our whole thing right we gotta try not to become it like it yeah it seems like i see i see myself becoming my parents in certain aspects and i'm like oh no i can't even avoid it for my mom's been telling me about bert kreischer for like 20 years because he knows his cousins live across the street from my house but it was bert bert right yeah like right right you know the hobsons well the and i was like i don't i i i had a bias against bert right because
Starting point is 00:56:26 because my the hobsons right and the berts are and you know it can yeah enough yeah yeah yeah um now i don't like your cousin who's in the marching band i don't know her that's where she explained who it was i don't know who that is i don't know all right in the car silence or 70s jazz or 40s yeah that's the only thing i listen to in the car i'd say that compromises 90 the other 10 might be stern stand up or classical medley of those 10 but if i'm in the car it's either completely silent i mean sometimes i've driven five hours in silence no big deal round trip both ways five five or it's literally literally all i listen to is this 1940s jazz or 88.3 wbgo jazz 88 but more so 40s on four
Starting point is 00:57:19 and i listen to it that's a satellite satellite and it's it's it's i love it i i just who's the best guy because that's like before oh that's all already sure honey it's all all already okay it's all that kind of stuff now don't get me wrong i loved i love you know charlie byrd parker miles davis and mingus and i love all that stuff too uh i i grew up loving that stuff but like there's just something about i think i wish i lived back then or i think i romanticized the music yeah yeah all right yeah so i i just put it on i put it on i could do anything with it on did you like i think i could you always like it always yeah my mom loves to tell that story that we were in the car one time she's never texted to me and
Starting point is 00:58:02 the jazz station came on i was very little and i was like can you go back to that she'll tell anyone who'll listen to that you know he's like jazz since he's three or whatever the fuck and you just liked it it just hit it hit you yeah they explain the silence like you just are other people in the car going like can we do something else sometimes well they're free to do whatever they want talk headphones if they ask you to put the radio on i will you know it's like i'm right it's like i'm a little while for a little while no but silence when else you're gonna get it i i i just sometimes it's just like it helps me my it lets my mind go so i have the the adhd is a killer and the things that slow it down for me are silence in the pool or of silence in the car
Starting point is 00:58:45 or going in a pool in a pool everything melts away for me i am literally addicted to water and going in the pool i have gone in a pool countless times for 8 to 12 hours like i go i get out to pee i go right back in i'll get in at nine in the morning. How pruney. That's so far past pruney. No, no. It's done. The pruning's, it's past pruning. What happens? You know what pruning is, by the way?
Starting point is 00:59:11 It's evolutionary. It's biological. Our body is adjusting to being in water, and that's happening so we can grip. Interesting. Good job, body. Body, you've done it again. Shout out. Shout out to body body i can think in
Starting point is 00:59:26 the pool i i everything slows down it's like i i took tm as well although i i went i tm's hard it's hard i went i did it i paid for it i went i i practiced it for a little while and i just i just can't can't do it it's twice a day for 20 minutes i just couldn't do it i mean but the pool slows down so the silence in the car is the same thing it lets my mind all right so i told hassan this i think i recently when i released my specials i get a lot of dms from doctors wow really yeah and this time i got a probably five or between five and ten people saying like you might be autistic i just took the entrance exam i have you taken it no but i have a bit where i talk about it that i might be like because i i genuinely i gen we're all on the space yeah yeah of course i just generally do wonder where i am stuff like don't get me wearing the pool thing and hearing the
Starting point is 01:00:30 a lot of it's about sensitivity so a lot of questions were like sensitive sound smell touch like fabrics um that maybe maybe it it doesn't what did you get from the exam maybe it doesn't what did you get from the exam i haven't gotten the results yet we're all i took the adhd i went and did you ever take it no i don't know if you have it i don't think i do oh so i when i finally was like i have to do something about this i wanted to get medically diagnosed that i had it wasn't just me and i went and i went and they they put me in a room alone and they hooked up these things to my head, ankles and wrists, just like bands that were connected to like wires. And then they sat me in front of a computer screen and they gave me a mouse and they said
Starting point is 01:01:12 that shapes are going to come up. And every time a shape comes up, go with the mouse and click it. I think that was the extent of it. I'm like, okay. They left for 20 minutes, maybe. And I'm doing it. You shit yourself. I'm doing it.
Starting point is 01:01:24 I'm doing, I'm like, this is this is so i'm like i am acing this yes and when they come in they're going to tell me that i don't have this because of this bullshit test and i have this and this is i don't know what this is and i clicked and then they came i got the reports back it was severe they said like it was severe these clowns tell me i'm clicking on triangle circles i'm nailing it i don't i don't even know i don't even understand like what they were gleaning yeah from that maybe maybe how much i fidget i don't know i don't know but i thought that i got a hundred or whatever you know i thought i aced it and it was like no you have really bad negative 20 thank god yeah negative thank god that you told me that well i would have freaked out if they said i didn't have it well oh this is the best
Starting point is 01:02:09 yeah i mean by the way at least if i am autistic which i kind of don't think i am yeah but i'm not right i'm kidding uh but there nothing happens you you might you texted me the other day you're like just fyi this is the extent of our relationship will ever be you think i do no i didn't you did one of them i i know what you mean i was absolutely kidding what i was saying was i because i what i don't know you that well so i just thought you were like just saying hey no but people think I'm like this cocky and I'm not like to talk to me. I'm just not. So I was saying it.
Starting point is 01:02:48 One of the questions was, do you say things that offend people and you don't understand why? And I was like, do I, what the fuck is your problem? Yes. Um, so yeah. Don Marrera had this great street joke that he said i don't mean to cut you off no no yeah um no no yeah he it's i'll fuck it up but he used to say he said something like or maybe it was a street joke that he told me he has two of the funniest jokes that i i would say in my memory
Starting point is 01:03:16 i'm a good friend i've got 10 jokes that yeah he's a dear friend yeah dear and i love him to pieces great um the guy went to a psychiatrist or whatever the guy's what's the problem he goes i i don't know what it is but i can't seem to keep a relationship and i don't know why you fat fuck funny but the other one was i'd have to say because the other one was it was something that affected whenever anyone finds out someone's gay they treat it as if they just passed away like oh my god he's gay i was just with him yeah love you uh shout out to tom if what if you're in an uber and they have do you ask them turn the music off i probably will suffer maybe i'll fake a call and say like hey i would you mind you know uh sensitivity to smell you said as well so i can't smell perfume or cologne i get a massive
Starting point is 01:04:06 headache right away and i get nauseous so that sucks because you get on a flight with a lady who douses herself and or even in an if if someone walked out of an elevator and i will that sucks because you can't escape when it's in the room it's in the room and i actually get physically nauseous i might be allergic i don't know but i get a really like a splitting headache so like my girlfriend doesn't wear anything like i don't think she really does anyway but like i just can't be around anyone like my family knows like i just can't smell that stuff something's fucked i yeah you might be it might be like i don't even think it's like i fuck all if i am what i'm looking for it it'll help me understand myself my reactions to shit
Starting point is 01:04:49 because i'll react to shit people are like what do you it's not that big a deal i'm like i'm like just tight about some shit that shouldn't it doesn't isn't commensurate with the thing that happened right it's out of proportion right like that's what i would get and now i could just go well just assume you have it well now i've taken the test like right all right final question this is gonna have to be a two-part i mean at one point i thought i should just i think it may be on netflix i feel like i had to apologize almost for i mean i know that's the point of this. No, no, no. But it's like two hours. Whatever this was, I just feel like when you're unloading all this stuff from the depth.

Starting point is 01:05:43 And I cried through the whole thing. And I was like, I can't believe people want to listen to this and he goes you have no fucking idea yeah but i'm saying like you have comedy fans that are into it yeah norman's episode is guy does pull-ups on scaffolding 30 a day on scaffolding every day yeah 80 diamond push-ups has to do them squads hands i mean he he does yeah he but that's not even the the issue yeah your issues the hands but that was mine with the scaffolding like those are filthy yeah that's i mean it's wild what he's going through uh all right so then final question movie of your life biopic who plays you oh jesus what's the character arc

And I'm just like, I'm going to check out in a little while. Love you guys. It's been great. And then that's my death. I always thought of myself in a movie. Sometimes, you ever think of, God forbid, you died suddenly?
Starting point is 01:08:03 Think of the people that die suddenly. The guy wakes up, brushes his teeth, throws on his sweats. He's going to the post office. He goes across the street, gets hit by a truck. Doesn't even know he died. Doesn't even know he died. That's insane. That's insane that not only do you not know that today's your last day and that you're
Starting point is 01:08:17 going to die by like that, but you get hit on impact. You are done. You are wiped away from this earth and you don't know that it happened. I think about that sometimes i thought about making a short film where that happens but i thought it would annoy people like it's very short like it's a couple of minutes and you you get to you get enough where you get a sense of the person maybe care a little bit then they walk outside truck boom fucking credits credits credits and it's like that's that's the story that's that's a life that's happened to people i thought of the ending for yours okay and ending up okay i'll take it
