we're uh well i'm here i'm back i'm back in town i went to atlanta this um this past uh week i was
there for two nights atlanta a hundred percent i love it because it's the most Atlanta place of all time.
Atlanta's a place where you literally will see,
like if you're not in a room,
every other room has a black guy in it
with a fucking red suit or something like that.
You know, like I was at Starbucks
and I literally saw a dude a
black dude in in a purple suit and it what the thing was it wasn't his it wasn't like he was
showing up to starbucks to get a coffee to go somewhere where he needed to have the purple suit
he had the purple suit that was a starbucks suit he was there he put the suit on no doubt to go to
starbucks to fucking have this meeting that
shit is amazing because the amazing part was is he was not a king of comedy all right he wasn't
fucking dl hewley or cedric the entertainer he was just some guy that was at starbucks that was
like this is what i wear which is amazing the outfits you see in at are shit that is like the Lollipop Guild is what it is.
It's amazing.
Dude, I got an offer.
This wasn't this time in Atlanta, but the last time I got off an elevator in Atlanta,
the elevator opened up and this girl had the biggest ass.
I couldn't even fucking believe it.
It was, it was enormous.
And she wasn't fat.
It wasn't like, you know, she has a big ass because her body's big.
She had like a back, like a trunk, dude.
It was amazing, dude. She had a trunk her she didn't have an ass
she had a trunk that you need keys to and you open it up and you put shit in there like a duffel bag
that's what she had like you could literally i wanted to tap her on the shoulder and be like
excuse me ma'am i can't And she'd be like, yes.
And I'd say, I can't find my duffel bag.
Can I check your trunk?
And she wouldn't have looked at me weird.
She would have just turned around and offered her ass.
That's honestly how much, that's how much her ass was a trunk.
And that's some Atlanta shit, dude.
That's some fucking Atlanta shit. That was amazing. I couldn't believe shit, dude. That's some fucking Atlanta shit.
That was amazing.
I couldn't believe it, dude.
And dude, the asses in Atlanta are crazy.
I'm not even trying to be sexual about it.
I'm not saying like, hot damn, you know, I'm just saying it's a fact.
You can literally set up your fucking laptop on, fuck that. You could put a desktop on it and have just put the put the
modem or whatever like next to her leg and and set up a coffee cup and and and literally not
have to use one of those tables at starbucks and have that meeting with that black guy in the
purple suit i mean unbelievable um so yeah so atlanta but besides that atlanta was great uh
i had two shows i had to throw one guy out.
Actually, I didn't even throw the guy out.
The first time, the first time I got on stage, as soon as I got on stage, this dude was trying
to recite my shit from my last special, Incorrigible.
And it was just so annoying.
And I was like, yo, bro, you got to be quiet.
You got to shut the fuck up.
And then when security went over to go talk to him about it, he was like bobbing and weaving
like he got knocked the fuck out.
Like he was so drunk.
He was so fucking drunk, dude.
And then they kicked him out.
This is my favorite when they kick somebody out and nobody else goes with them.
Because, you know, either they showed up alone drunk, which is sad, or they fucking nobody
like the people that were with him were like, well, fuck him.
He's on his own.
I want to see Chris D'Elia or whatever fucking concert you're at. That's hilarious
to be like, yeah, he's my friend, but fucking he ruined it, which is how I think people should be.
Um, but yeah, so it was, it was, it was a young guy. I feel kind of bad. Cause he probably woke
up. He probably, and here's the thing too, at the, at, in the lobby afterwards, you know,
he was like, Oh, I don't understand what got kicked in the lobby afterwards, you know he was like,
I don't understand why I got kicked out.
I was just laughing.
I was just, no, you weren't.
Nah, you're reciting my other shit,
which makes no sense now.
Let me do my new shit.
But the Atlanta shows were good.
The crowds are awesome in Atlanta.
They're really great, man.
I was at that center stage or center theater.
I forget what it's called. I was going to shoot my special there almost,
but I did not because the theater, the stage was too high high i wanted to do a little bit more of an intimate thing so i'm going to vancouver to do it uh and it's sold out
i think so you can't get tickets anymore but i am setting updates everywhere else so anyway uh
i did the atlanta show and uh now i'm back in la and i i'm i'm I'm excited about this podcast.
I'm excited about being here.
I'm excited about being able to do this every week.
And people are like, hey, you should get this guy on
and that guy on as a guest.
I'm not going to do guests.
And I'm not saying I'm never going to do guests,
but I'm just going to do it me
until I'm just like so tired of fucking talking.
That might be next week
and maybe you'll see somebody come on the podcast but but i um it's just too it's just i don't like
i don't want to be interrupted this is what it is and if you don't like it that's fine um
a lot of people don't like my shit i love how i love how it reminds me of this week, which the Grammys came, which I didn't even watch.
But Lil Yachty wore that off.
He looked terrible.
I mean, here's the deal, man.
And I posted the picture of Lil Yachty.
If you don't know what he put in his mouth, he had like these like now and later colored, multicolored.
It looked like the gay pride.
Each tooth was a different color and and he had those red dreads that looked like a fucking a red tarantula fucking
passed out on his on his head it it was ugly as shit and i tweeted about how this is the ugliest
thing i've ever seen in my life and here's the thing people were like oh you're hating you're
you know don't don't hate
let him do what he wants yo he could do what he wants but you're telling me that he put those
fucking things in his teeth and those dreads those those red neon red fucking things on his
on his head you're telling me he did that to look handsome you're telling me that he did that so somebody would be like, oh, wow, he looks handsome?
No.
He was on purpose trying to look ugly.
That's it. I'm not hating. I'm agreeing with him. Good job. That's it.
I'm not hating.
I'm agreeing with them.
Good job.
You did it.
You have a freedom of expression and you did it.
It looks like a glow worm is in your mouth.
Congratulations.
It looks like a fucking starfish passed out on your fucking head and you have the KFC fucking bow tie,
you did it.
You're not saying, oh yeah, I want to look handsome.
You're saying I want to look ridiculous.
And that in turn looks horrible.
And that's fine.
But don't say I'm talking shit.
If I fucking walk around with a dick on my forehead, like a molded dick and a fucking star, you know, just like some fucking cutout star on my nose.
I'm talking shit about myself if I do that without even saying anything.
It looks bad. That's fine. Because that's the thing. There are opinions that are opinions,
and then there are opinions that are facts. If you walk around with a dick on your forehead,
it's ugly. Sorry, but it is. I'm not sorry, but it is. If you walk around and it looks like fucking
Rainbow Bright took a shit in your mouth, it looks bad. Okay. So CeeLo showed up,
looked like fucking C-3PO before he did the Atkins diet. He looked like a fucking,
I mean, he looked, it wasn't even ugly. It was just, this was beyond words.
But what the fuck, man?
Hey, make music.
And CeeLo's talented as shit.
I don't know Lil Yachty's music, really.
But CeeLo's talented.
So just stick with that, bro.
Why do you have to show up looking like the thing you're trying to win?
He was gold as fuck and looked like he was about to fight the Power Rangers.
Yo, make a song, dude.
Hey, man, make a fucking song.

half of the fucking little panels are up it looks horrible there's just tape on the wall
oh uh but by the way I saw the fucking I watched this shit a little bit last night, this on
Netflix, the Life on the Road with David Brent.
This shit fucking killed me, dude.
First of all, The Office, the British Office is my favorite show of all time, hands down.
Like you're talking comedy, you're talking drama.
This is my favorite show.
It's so fucking funny
and this thing came out and i guess it's like fuck it's probably like 15 years later not not quite
but um and it's a follow-up and it's about how the you know the character david brent is uh trying to
come up with uh trying to do a go on tour tour now and band and live his dream dude it about 30 minutes
and i was laughing already but about 30 minutes in i just started it really started getting to me
and i just started laughing and i just didn't fucking stop dude this fucking movie is so funny
the character that this guy does is just incredible i i dude every ounce and fucking percentage of this character that he made is so funny and so
real and so you know everybody kind of knows a version of a guy like that you know it's pretty
amped up but it's just still grounded and real it's just so funny man it's so funny you have
to watch it this guy is so funny and if you haven't seen the british office watch that too
god damn this movie is so funny i was rolling in my bed laughing rolling around laughing
in like a fucking idiot just giggling um and i'm so fucking sore from, I'm so fucking sore from working out. By the way, well, I work out now
and I've done it for months and I'm trying to get in shape, you know, or, you know, just be healthy
really and keep moving. Cause I'm 36. But, uh, how do you do it? I'm always in pain. I'm not
talking about sore. Like I'll fucking pull my back or like, that'll get better. And then my
shoulder and then that'll get better. And then like, it's my foot or some shit. Is that
just going to happen the rest of my life? It just, are you always training? Something's have to,
has to hurt you. I'm not even doing, it's not, I'm not doing fucking MMA. I'm jumping up and down on a fucking half ball.
I'm pulling bands.
How is this happening?
I think honestly I just got the fucking short end of the stick when it came to running around.
God was like, you can be, you know, you can have long hair,
but we're going to pull your back whenever you try to move
you know i think that's what it was dude
i feel like a fucking asshole man i used to do uh jujitsu for fucking six years i felt fine maybe i
was maybe i'm just getting older you know maybe that's what it was
maybe that's what it is i don't know by the way i asked you guys to like ask me questions and use
the hashtag congratulations pod hey guys get with the program man you fucking asked me what there
was one good question one i'll answer it now somebody asked me if um uh what what the sketchiest uh show i ever did was
and it's probably the one i talked about in incorrigible with the with the where the lady
attacked me if you haven't watched in core if you haven't watched incorrigible watch it that's
actually that bit is on the first is like the first bit i do so you don't have to
watch the whole thing but watch the whole fucking thing uh and i i this lady i called she had like
really crazy frizzy hair and i said and she was like a heckling or something and she said something
and then i said i called her blanca because remember the Street Fighter 2 thing with the frizzy hair and then she
attacked me like like Blanca but she came up and like grabbed the microphone and it fucking hit my
mouth and shit and I just kind of like sat down because you know she was a woman and oh I mean
I don't know but I was deep in the valley man they got these crazy open mics man I don't know
if they do anymore I'm sure they do but there open mics, man. I don't know if they do anymore. I mean, I'm sure they do.
But there used to be a website.
I don't know if there still is called Chuckle.
Chuckle.
Chuckle.
Something.
Something Chuckle.
Something.
And it would show the open mics all around.
I mean, I remember how I felt, dude, when i would look up this shit in my old apartment
and i'd be like oh there's an open mic there oh man maybe i could go to this one maybe i could
go to fucking you know moe's cafe or whatever the fuck it was and i would go there and god damn the
feeling i have i have like the nostalgia i have about that was just it's just so crazy, man, to think about that.
To think about starting some shit like that.
It's just insane.
And the rooms I had to play.
I don't know, I drove out once.
It was like two hours away.
I drove out with a guy that was doing stand-up at the time.
Who, his name was Phil Verone. And he was, he he's a good guy i haven't talked to him in a while but uh he used to play the guitar for skid row i think um i think it was skid row but uh
he yeah he was a buddy of mine and uh we drove out to some place in the middle of nowhere it was like past
i don't even know where it was man but we got there and there was a show
and i did about 10 minutes and we drove back two hours that's
you know you made i made like i don't even know maybe 50 bucks
but it's so fucking crazy to think that that shit
see that's the thing dude a lot of people do stand
up i was talking about these people who turn 30 and they're just like oh i want to do stand up now
but they only want to do shows at the comedy store but you gotta fucking you gotta you gotta
fucking you gotta go through the trenches man on stand up you gotta you gotta fucking fail so hard and in i performed for one person before literally like
it was some rich queen that ordered me but it wasn't it was at some fucking shit you know
some spot and they were like the show's still going go ahead and i went and i just fucking
performed for one woman in a jean jacket.
And I was just like talking to her, I guess, kind of.
And then one time I went to the comedy store.
This was before I was like on TV and shit.
And I would just go late sometimes, like 1 a.m. to hope I would get on.
And I got there at like midnight.
And they were like, hey, nobody's here.
You want to go on?
And I was like, fuck yeah.
And they were like, okay, there's two people in the audience and I was like ah shit
well whatever I'll still go up and they literally were like one of they'd said one of them is Dr.
Dre and I said nah I don't want to go up because I don't want to look like an asshole in front of
Dr. Dre so I said nah I think I'll skip it. It was the first time I, I, I like said no to a spot and the host at the time was like Don Barris at the time. He was like, Hey dude, I know why you
don't want to go up. Cause, cause who's in the audience, but this is what you do. You're a
fucking comedian and you go up. And he, and I was like, you're right. I'll do it. I'll fuck it. I'll
do it. And I went up and I, and I, um, and I went up and I performed for Dr.
Dre and another dude.
And they were the only people in the audience.
And I just talked to Dr.
Dre while I was on stage.
And I, you know, I, I did crowd work.
Cause you can't, what am I gonna go up and be like, man, isn't it funny how, you know,
and Dr.
Dre's gonna be like, yeah, no.
So I was like, I just was like, hey, what's up,
dude, like, he was in the back, by the way, all the way in the back, so it wasn't even like he was in front of me, couldn't even see him, it's dark as shit, the comedy store, and I was making
fun of, I was talking to Dr. Dre, and then he started heckling me a little bit, you know,
lightly heckling me, just because I was talking to him, he wasn't even being disrespectful,
but then I was like, I remember the one thing I said, I was like to him uh he wasn't even being disrespectful but then i was like i remember the one thing i said was like oh i can't believe how fucking dr dre you're getting
on me and then i started like making fun of him and he was laughing a little bit i think from what
i remember unless that's my ego candy coating it but uh i think he was and then afterwards
um i got off stage and when i got off stage, another guy got on stage,
and Dr. Dre left after I was on, and then I was out on the patio, and people were like,
oh, you just performed with Dr. Dre, that's crazy, you know, like other peers and comedians and shit,
and then Dr. Dre walks out, and he walks past, and I was like, can I get a picture,
can I get a picture, and Dr. Dre said, he's like, no, he's waving him off, and I was like, shit, man, I would love to get a picture with Dr. Dre, I wonder like can i get a picture can i get a picture and dr dre said it's like no he's waving him off and i was like shit man i would love to get a picture with dr
dre i wonder if he would get a picture with me because like he like saw me perform you know and
like not that he gives a shit but like maybe he would like at least feel something about that
so he walked out of the comedy store and and i was like it was the make or break time where it was going to be too
late to ask him because he was already leaving he was outside walking away already told a bunch of
people no and in like a it was like in the cinematic moment in my life i don't think i'll
ever forget it i just screamed out hey dre like i know him. And then he, in my memory, he stopped and like, there was a beat
where like in his head, he went, Oh no, who the fuck that must be. Even though he didn't in my
head, that's how like the beat was. Cause it was like a pregnant fucking pause that I probably imagined because it was so dramatic for me to do it.
And he pivoted around like Tony Gwynn taking that step,
fucking knocking that ball out of the park, dude.
Squashing the bug.
Saw me.
And then I said, in probably what was the most insecure bitch way possible,
you think I could get a pic
and then another beat and he just fucking saunters over in that fucking dr dre gate
and then just walks over and um i get the phone ready and i fucking and he was like yeah man
and i walked and i and I put my arm around him or
whatever I think I did and then I took a picture uh somebody took a picture for me I don't remember
who and then I said thanks man I really appreciate it and then he walked away and I was like that's
so cool that like he definitely only did that because I was performing and I don't know in my
head it was like oh yeah okay he respects the performer because other people that were asking were just people there that he didn't you know not that he
knew who i was but he did after that because i he's like okay that's the comedian yeah and it
felt fucking cool that he respected it and uh that shit fucking yeah i don't know, man. I think about that sometimes. And I think about how like it's cool to do that.
And like, I mean, dude, they don't, people don't forget that shit.
So I never forgot that shit.
So yeah, so that's what's up.
But that was cool as shit.
It was funny though that that happened.
I'm really, really, anyway, moral of the story is I'm really fucking happy that i've you know performed for him i did it i would have regretted it dude
i would have fucking regretted it man that's your fucking inspiration for the day dude
is just do it and right that's why nike's so successful part of the reason dude just do it
man i went up there and i did it i made my legs move up onto the stage that's what
i did i literally thought if i could just make my legs move and walk if i just move the fucking legs
to get up on the stage and i'll be on stage and then i have to talk
so yeah and i wore the dumbest shirt that day and now i have that picture and i have the fucking
dumbest shirt on with a sweat pit stains because I was so nervous.
I was 27, I think, 28.
Anyway, so yeah, that's what's up.
