Also, folks, you spend a 30-year life in bed,
if you're a comedian or you're depressed or, you know?
Or even if not, I guess.
You spend a third of your life in the sheets.
It's a bad time for bedding upgrade.

of a five-star hotel sheets.
Do you guys, when you guys go on the road,
do you notice the difference in the sheets?
Yeah.
Yeah.

At home, I sleep in a bed on the road.
I sleep in a car.
So there's that.
That's the difference.
I know Ricky knows the good things.
Me and you notice if you're wet,
other than that, we have no idea.
You notice what cheats spend less sticky.

Do you, because you have a, she's not a wife,

She's a girlfriend.
Is she upset about that?
When I used to come home fucking super hammered,
she'd be like, you know, you come home hammered
and I can't sleep.

It works.
Me and my wife make it work.
A lot of people come.
It was like we went ahead and like, I know like,
but like we got a nurse.
Yeah.
We first had the kid.
We had to like learn a lot.
Right.
And now we have an Annie that comes twice a week.
So like we still get to like do our shit.
Right.
You're still probably learning too.
Yeah, a lot.
Interesting.
Yeah.
How durable a child is is pretty incredible.
Yeah, I'm always nervous because my friends have kids.
When they're very tiny in a two month phase,
I don't like to, I like to.
Dude, I never liked holding babies.
Yeah.
It's like the most fun I have now.
Really?
Yeah, and like, it's just, well, it's mine.
It's your bed.
Yeah, so probably a lot more fun.
I get super nervous when he's
doing something hands me a tiny little kid.
I'm like, yeah.
I like a kid that's like a fat thug.
You know, like a two year old
and you can kind of throw around.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that's the part I'm excited for.
I'm like, this is more, like I'm really not needed right now.
Are you gonna, because you're a fashionable guy,
are you gonna make the kid fashionable?
I mean, we buy them nicer clothes.
You and your wife are very fashionable people.
She's a stylist.
Yeah.
No, you guys, you guys are married, right?
What?
Are you guys married or just together?
We're married, yeah, yeah, yeah, so I know, okay.
So you guys, I think this kid's gonna be like a legit fashionable
Kid doesn't matter. He's dressed like you but smaller right now
What is it? He's gonna have a jacket jealous of his clothes. That's what I'm at Joe Compton

Are you are you went to kids and you went to having kids now really? Yeah? What about you? Am I into them? Yes?
You went to having kids now really yeah, what about you am I into them? Yes, do I

There's enough children. You're not wrong. Yeah, there's enough people.
I don't, I barely care about myself.
Yeah, I mean, that's fair.
I think that's a fair.
I think that's, I can't argue that.
I don't think that's fair.
There's a lot of people.
There's no way I would have a, my child would have a good life.

What do you mean?
Amazon's headquarters, moving along on a city.
We got a limited time.
What does that mean?
Well, here's what it means. That's all right. OK means. You're hitting me with like, you got to move out now. How's it going to mean?
You're scaring me.
Not now.
Amazon's a website.
Let's start there.
Bill Gates created this thing called the computer.
So here's the deal.
Amazon, you know, what is it?
$1,000,000 company?
Right?
Yeah.
It's a big one.
Jeff Bezos, they're moving.
They have a headquarters.
They're going to move half in Virginia, half in Long Island.
They're going to move half in Virginia.
They're going to move half in Virginia.
They're going to move half in Virginia.
They're going to move half in Virginia.
They're going to move half in Virginia. They're going to move half in Virginia. They're going to. Jeff Bezos, they're moving, they have a headquarters, they're going to move half in Virginia, half
in Long Island City, 25,000 people, all making about 150 grand.
The, well, the, the average income will be 150 grand a year.
They're going to take over a huge spot in Long Island City.
And probably, I don't know this for a fact, but probably real estate and a story is going
to sky roll.
Well, Long Island City real estate is Already kind of starting to go up the story of real estate and rent is gonna go up
So probably within a few years
You know you're gonna start but you guys did that to somebody else
Not into the tank by paying $100 a month to live in a room. Yeah
$800 a month to live in a room. Yeah, I didn't do anything down.
And I was gonna ask for a story
that was where you went to get fucked up.
That's still that.
No, it's not.
No, it is not.
Like those bars are totally different.
Everything is like, I mean, that's where you went
as an other age kid to get fucked.
It was a weird-
But there's still families there.
There's still a lot of families there.
It's not Brooklyn yet.
There's still a lot of people at own property there.
So the pace of change has been a lot slower
and rent is a lot lower than it is in a lot of parts of Brooklyn.
So I didn't do that to anybody.
I mean, I have an $800 month rule.
I mean, if anybody wants buy and a puff,
they can have it.
The eye rent from a woman who's owned that three family.
She's gonna cash the fuck out.
Yes, she might.
But I rent from her, so it's not like, but she might, I thought about that same thing, but she might come cash the fuck out. Yeah, she might, you know, but I ran from her.
So it's not like, yeah, but she might,
I thought about that same thing,
but she might come up to you and be like,
hey, they're raising time.
You get further out in Queens, go to the island.
I'm going to LA, baby, I'm done.
What?
I'm done.
I'm gonna go in a few years.
Yeah.
You just see Tim selling oranges.
I like it.
I like it.
I like it.
I like it.
You guys heard of Ben and Jerry's here.
I think it's great. I think it's great
You can fuck kids. You can every like avocado toast. I think it's much better
I think it's gonna get I think it'll get and I don't know. Maybe I'm overstating. Maybe it won't be a big deal
I don't think I haven't heard shit
I love how he's like my mom pays my phone bill. I have not heard
Huge story that's all over Twitter and everything also Amazon's worth
$789.5 billion. All right
My my cousins my my wife's cousin works for CIA. Yeah, like she tell you that
my wife's cousin works for a CIA. Yeah.
They tell you that,
she just runs her mouth.
She, no, no, no.
I thought it was part of it.
You couldn't really learn her husband or the same level,
but they don't know what each other's,
what each other do.
Okay, but this is all explained to you.
She told us, because I asked her,
I was like, how much does the,
like, how much does the government actually listen to you?
She's like, unless you're doing something, no,
but like what you need to worry about is Amazon,
Amazon is collecting more than anybody else.
I'd like to think the government listens to this show. I like that. I'd like to think
that the NSA wants to show with nine people on like, we talk over each other constantly.
That's been on, that's been on for 13 years. I would personally hope they're listening
to that. The next shooter's coming out of this.
Now, where are you? You've seen New York change a lot because you're a native, right?
Well, yeah, and I grew up originally by the airport
in a town that no one knows called Queens Village.
Okay.
People always think middle village and Queens Village
is the same thing, but not the lot further out.
It's the last stop on the F train and about a 20 minute bus.
And have you seen the city kind of, you've seen it go from being a,
I went to high school down the block from the city bank building.
I went on the Thompson Avenue.
I went to Frank Sinatra School, the arts before he was in Astoria.
Wow.
It was only, it was one floor and we shared it with the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the Vry for those of you don't know is the, it's the most, uh, it's like,
it's like the Harvard, uh, technical internet colleges that don't exist.
What was the technical school in Long Island called?
Oh, Briarcliffe.
No.
Now what was it called?
Something with a B.
It was a, well, the Vry is the one that everybody talks around about. But yeah, but they would send all the kids that got suspended like, oh, what was it called something with a B? Well, the Brian is the one that everybody talks around about but yeah, but they would send all the kids
I got suspended like oh bocies bocies. Yeah, that was a special school in Long Island
Yeah, if you got if you hit a teacher with a chair
Public school you would go to bocies
You also like you're in New York City you would just stay in the school you were in
Your city would change they would be like thank you.
He was running his mouth a little too much.
He was tenured, we were trying to get rid of it.
But what bumps me out a little bit is like,
sometimes I like where I live because like small businesses,
there's a lot of immigrant,
it's like an environment of like cool stuff, cool restaurants,
all that stuff.
It isn't full park and like even those things,
like that small town seems to be getting eaten up.
Yeah, so just to me, I just, I go to Brooklyn,
I'm like, everything feels the same,
well the restaurant feels the same and
Hatten feels the same, Queen still feels different.
But I feel like maybe that's ending and,
hey, there's no way to stop it.
It is what it is.
Well, it's wild because my town, when I grew up,
terrorism, black, it's Hispanic and white.
Right.
And now it's nothing but it's like
Middle Eastern and he knocked down the houses and build these huge square houses and then
move in like three families into. Yeah and this is wild. Queens Village. Yeah. Great. Fun
stuff yeah. But this is what happens. I'm getting sad. Yeah. I fear change. This is what happens.
Well don't you didn't even know change was happening. Yeah I'm worried. I Yeah, I fear change. This is what happens. Well, don't you didn't even know changes happen?
Yeah, I'm worried. I like to know who his mom's dropping the plan.
He's like, he's like, if my mother doesn't tell me, I have no idea what's going on.
I was like, when my mother informs me about Amazon, I'll start paying an end for them.
But other than that, we find out Brendan's photo is just one of those ones for the little kids that only their parents can call it.
It's a fine bond. It's a fine bond. It's not a fine bond.
It's a fine bond.
Yeah, it's got cookie monster on it. When you press the numbers, it's like Elmo talking.
Have you thought about Ricky public school private school? Do you know yet?
I bought over in Chelsea and I actually like lived next to the best public school in New York City, but I still would look at private.
I went to public school. I don't want my kid
going to public.
You were a wild kid.
I was a bad kid, yeah.
Do you, are you worried that the genes
are in that little dude?
I mean, I think it's,
I don't think I was a bad kid based on genes.
I think I was a bad kid based on
circumstance.
The environment, yeah.
Gotcha.
So you're gonna put them in a, you're gonna make sure it's a different circumstances. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna tell my I think any kid that has a godfather with blue hair is gonna turn out
We won't we won't
It's funny because I even talked to Pete about that. I was like you understand if something happens like my brother still gets the kid
like my brother still gets the kid. Right.
He's not,
it's extremely a credit.
Dude, he doesn't know the difference
between Godfather and grandfather.
So he like holds himself the grandfather all the time.
He's like, no man, you know, get areas,
we'll get to it someday.
Now today, do you do like a,
like a baptism ceremony?
Are you Jewish or any religion?
Any religion?
You can raise a kid with any religion?
As of now, we really have it like thought too much into that
as much as it's like keep him alive.
That's a great, I think that's definitely it.
And then like, no, I think like,
I gotta be honest, that's a good move.
I think, I think things like that will come up to him wanting
to be curious about it or be involved with it.
Right, I mean.
Right. So you got a nurse at first to help you. Yeah, for the with it. Like I mean. Right.
So you got a nurse at first to help you.
Yeah, for the first time.
We got a nurse and it was, it saved our lives man.
It made everything so much easier.
Yeah.
It's important I think if you don't really know what you're
doing the first couple of years are very essential.
Yeah.
You know, because that's like if you fuck those up. Yeah. You could try to get it know, because that's like, if you fuck those up,
yeah, you can try to get it back, but it's like,
even so like seven to 13 is more important,
like those development years of like the mind
and like who can, who's there for them.
Are you gonna be the cool dad who like smokes weed with the kid?
No, because it's funny, because I actually think
about that a lot and I always think about the dad that let us do that at his house.
And that was kind of gross.
Yeah, monster.
He was, there was a guy that in our school, we would go drink.
There's, there's always a house where it was in a story.
Yeah, for me, that's funny.
Mine was in freeport long.
I'm, but she's, but mine was in mind by the water.
And there was a guy who,
you know the house it always feels like the house
have to the party.
Like when you walk, you can walk in one
say afternoon, it feels like there was just a party.
It always has that feeling that just...
And Dale Beer is still in the air.
It just feels, you know, Ash Ray would cigarette in it
and everything.
And this was like, we used a party to house the monsters,
literally the monster's house.
And like, this was a guy that would like take a paintball gun
and shoot bottles of beer out of your hand.
He didn't give a fuck about anything.
He was such a fun guy that I got, this is true.
I got in two boating accidents with this guy.
That's what I'm talking to say.
That's how cool he was.
After the first run.
His son was like, why do you still go on to boat
with him, nobody else does?
I'm like, it's a great fucking time.
We have a lot of fun.
I got thrown out of a little boat onto a marsh,
and then one time he drove us into the piling of a bridge.
And then he said to me, look at me,
he's like, you gotta stop hanging out with me.
I'm like, why?
He's like, I'm trying to kill myself.
I'm like, oh, I'm listening. But that's, at me, he's like, you gotta stop hanging out with me. I'm like, why? He's like, I'm trying to kill myself. I'm like, oh, I'm listening.
But that's, you know, that's what, did you, because you're from 2009, did you have any,
like, did you have a family like that?
Was it kind of out of control?
Yeah, yeah, not, yeah.
I mean, it was like, there was one family that left my, like, my friend.
They just, they just left him the house and said, we're moving to Florida, we'll pay for the house.
Big house and he was resenting it so much
that his family went, one time he had a party
and he just started punching the windows out.
What's he man about?
They left him a big house.
I don't like to, people from all over the studio.
I like it, but it's a stupid thing.
He's not taking care of his own drum.
Yeah, I know, dude, it was, it was why.
We had great parties there.
And then one time he just smashed a bunch of windows,
he was bleeding all over the place.
We were like, okay, I think the parties are gonna move
to Paul's house.
Because he was mad that I got to another.
Yeah, because they weren't around.
They basically just, it sounds like silence.
I know, now I could tell.
This is my whole family.
Everybody but my parents moved into long islands
Oh, and my parents just like that you know that tax property in the property tax there is fucking saying my parents
Just couldn't do it so like we stayed in Queens and all my cousins all my friends one of my friends moved to long island
Got hooked on fucking opiates
They know got hooked on heroin and they tried to rob a bank on Jericho Turnpike.
It was so high he took the fucking paper that came out of the ATM that said he had no more
money.
He just flipped that over and wrote, I have a gun.
Oh my God.
Same charge is having a gun.
Crazy.
Yeah.
Is that true? That's the same.
So if you write I have a gun.
Same charge.
Same charge.
This is if you're listening to this and you're in Long Island and you're addicted to the opiate just get the gun. Yeah, but you can get more heroin. So it's funny. It's
funny because you staying Queens everybody moves to Long Island. You know, you would think it would
be reverse. You're out there robbing people addicted opiates, but you're doing great and then the
long Island people are addicted to the opiates robbing banks. doing great. And then the longer people are taking the opiates, Robin Banks.
Yeah, crazy.
What was your party house?
You said a story.
Hours was a story.
It was this kid I went to high school with
and his dad was always like, he always said,
I'm rather you do it here than out on the street.
I know, yeah.
That's the guy.
And it's like, yeah, but you bought all the drugs and beer.
Right, okay.
I'd rather you be doing heroin here than out on the street.
No, he used to let us smoke weed in his house.
This kid, Anthony Diaz.
And his dad used to, it's just weird.
It's just weird that an old dude had no problems with us
being in his home and hanging out with us.
Probably liked it. Yeah, he's probably lonely. Yeah. and hanging out with us. Probably liked it.
Yeah, it was probably lonely.
Yeah.
All of those parents say the exact same thing.
It's so funny.
We'd rather you do it here.
Get out of the street.
It's so funny.
They all do it, man.
A friend of mine, when we were going up,
her mother Tina, Tina's mother, Tony, Tony, Tony, and she used to always go.
She always used to go, you know, like,
you can, you want a fucking get high
You want to smoke weed smoke it right here in the backyard and we're all like okay
Like we didn't even want to smoke we have you not paid for me. What about that mom?
The baiji the liquor and she's like I don't want you standing outside the liquor store getting locked up
It's like god you just you know I'm those I'm god for those parents
getting locked up. It's like, no, you just, you know, I got for those parents. Yeah. Good people. Maybe me being locked up probably would have saved a lot of people.
Yeah. Did you ever stick? Cause I, every now and then you didn't have one of those parents
did you ever stand outside of a store and try to get somebody to buy you cigarettes?
I used to do that. Can you buy me a vanilla dot. You going in there? Do you mind?
Can you get me two vanilla dutch? Is it back a new porch? Well, we had a store right next
to the Broadway mall in, in Hicksville that would sell us 40s.
Like we would buy, we were like 17 years old buying 40s and showing up to these like house
parties with giant four and they knew how old we were and they just would let us drink.
But I'll say this after bodegas left like like and it just became like Arabs running,
running the delis and whatnot. Yeah, they didn't card
Yeah, yeah, they were very lean on on on on card in you
Yeah, interesting because they were strict where I because there's a lot there's a lot of people
Well, I and it's different like you gotta do why you end up in the paper like that's like an automatic
They're very they're very hard on everything. Yeah, it's like New York's a little bit more relaxed.
The city is.
I would say.
We used to do that though.
We used to stand outside of a store and be like,
hey, is there any way?
Hey, the person just got out of their car.
They're like, what are these two kids?
My friend Shay, these two fat kids,
and we'd be like, hey, and they'd be like,
why?
What is this?
And we'd be like, can you buy us Twinkies?
Yeah.
We did one time, we were like this.
We were like, by the way, can you get it back in Newport?
It's two vanilla duches.
And then my friend goes, in a bagel,
she's like, get the bagel yourself.
That's funny, you know what I mean?
Now, you're from Long Island.
Did you have a party house?
Yeah, yeah, it was right down.
There was these two brothers right down the block for me.
Sam and John Schindler. They were, they were, they were just naming.
Yeah, I guess we got, but they were, they were, they were just like, get, but
they were weird. They were just like, get high and then like, fix lawn mowers
in their backyard. They're like, weird like white, like, interesting.
Like, they were like Midwestern, like Southern white trash kids, but they're
born and bred on Long Island.
Interesting.
But Long Island, the further you go out,
the more white trash.
Oh, damn it.
It gets in, I was just in Eri, Pennsylvania,
which is, it is worse in Long Island,
but it's like, there's a lot of overlap.
You go deep stuff to county.
Sure there's a lot of, you go, yeah, absolutely.
You use a lot of overlap.
Cause I went to college for a semester in Long Island.
That is crazy.
Welling college. You went to Dallling. in Long Island. That is crazy. Welling college.
You went to Dowling.
That's another one.
It was a community college with dorms.
Yeah.
And it was out of fucking pocket, dude.
And it was like the tret, and it was inshurly,
and it was in Oakdale.
Yeah, I was like 10 minutes from the Oakdale campus.
It was Midgetown, dude.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, there's a little town.
Yeah.
We would try to tie it. Yeah. Now now how do you end up in downing?
Wait, we do that are like NASA community like an actual town. Yeah
It's like it was like a summer hometown, but they like made them so tiny so they can make more of them
So people only had like a bedroom in it. I've pictured a magical place. I'm not like the roots of this. I got a chance to pour us. Yeah. It's all oak
trees. It smells like candy. But Dowling was actually really, really good at sports because
they cheated by bringing people in from other countries and I played sports there. Oh,
okay. And what did you and that and that area is crazy not there right nuts lots of money right there in Oakdale
But surely the other campus was in surely and that shit is like
People realize about Long Island. It was crazy about it. It's very big
Right there see Nige-at-town there it is we used to run across those roofs
It's just that's opening of it. We had the run only in Long Island would would the shire look horrific
We had the run only in Long Island with the shy or look horrific
Any of these photos of sunny day
A photo has like a
Terrible as it is outside today in these photos because the downwind campus in Oakdale was like a rich guys
Compound and just was like that were the help lived originally I love you just imagine like in Long Island just a bunch of racist
widgets, you know, I'm a bunch of angry.
What a world man. Yeah, I mean, long enough it's big.
It's a hundred and eighty mile long.
So you get everything from like super rich people to just complete trash.
Like you would find in any kids at that school would rent houses
and surely like the cool cross team had its own house and all these people
and their gigantic houses that rented for nothing yeah but at the same time
we throw parties and then fucking locals would show up yeah and do the fights
that it was craze it was seen a lot of these towns.
They also have like a corner bar.
It's like a blood box with his fights all the time, cops all the time.
You know, crazy, crazy.
I used to go all those college bars out there.
They're terrible, man.
When you were growing up in the city, were you ever hanging in Manhattan?
Or were you hanging primarily in Queens?
So that was the thing.
I didn't go to Brooklyn
until I did comedy.
Right.
I never went to Brooklyn.
There was no reason to go to Brooklyn.
I stayed in Queens.
I hung out in Bayside Queens.
That was a Bayside in White Stone.
Like that's where a lot of my friends were from.
And then the only time we would really go to Manhattan
was when we were skipping school,
we were the last stop on the E train before Manhattan.
So we just stay on the train and go into Manhattan
for the day.
No, that's cool.
Yeah, ditching a dead school.
Just do walk around, yeah, fucking not do shit, smoke weed,
go hang out at the park.
Yeah, that's a lot of fun.
See, Long Island, we didn't have that.
No.
When we ditch school, we lived in these little small towns
that our parents also lived in.
Yeah.
My friends, mother, my friends mother had a green,
there were two people that had a green for tourists
in my town.
My friends mother and a Chinese delivery food guy.
So me and my friend would walk around stone
ditching class paranoid.
And I'd be like, no, it's the Chinese guy.
It's all right.
We literally dive, because his mother would come home around one 15 for lunch
We would dive behind like like fucking hedges and then he'd be like no, no, no, it's to Chinese guy
Yeah, I know it's so boring there that when you someone be like let's ditch school and you'd be like where are we gonna go?
Just go to school. It's so bad you go to school
So boring you do heroin.
Yeah, that's how bad a long aisle really is when it is.
You know what it is?
It's that bad.
You also just get high and go to school.
Like, yeah, people don't realize.
I mean, when you ditch school, you are just ditching class.
You, right, you people would get high and then just go sit
in class like no problem.
Like, I took robot testing for a whole day.
It just, it's just school, just fucking robot tripping.
In my high school, they did the thing called
the double orange mustache where you would just drink
a bottle of, I think it was like orange robotus in,
and then for some reason just a bottle of orange soda.
Yeah, I did that.
Afterwards.
I did that and they're like, yeah, this is what you took.
I went to an insane clown posse.
I just came back to the job alone.
I stole it.
Jumbo-lo-hi.
Yeah, dude, I mean, I would take a whole bottle of purple delsum
and then another 20 gels of a robot tusson
and just fucking trip balls.
Yeah.
What's your kidney like now?
Kidney.
I'd vlog a go left.
I played baseball with a lot of kids from Wall and Island growing up and it always seemed like they're ahead of the party curve.
Yeah, the long and you party young. I mean my first line of blow I was like 14-13 maybe.
That's crazy. Yeah, first line of blow was crazy. I was tripping it.
I fucked at 12.
The first time I ate, I didn't drink at 16. I wish I fucked at 12. I could time I, getting drinks at 16. I did, I wish I fucked at 12.
I could not get anybody to fuck me.
I kept trying.
The priest was like, no, this is literally just
coming in your heart.
All right.
Hard to get.
But, yeah, I mean, the first time I took it,
and this is crazy, but the first time I took acid,
I was standing on stage.
It was graduation of eighth grade. And me and my
friend Tina and Shay each took a tab of acid for the first time on stage at our
eighth grade graduation. And it was like it was stood there and the
valetorian got up and wouldn't shut the fuck up. So you think an eighth grade
valetorian would be quick. This motherfucker was like and then my grandfather came
to this car. It was like Jesus. And but that was the first time. This motherfucker was like, and then my grandfather came to this
car. It was like Jesus. And, but that was the first time. So we were like, we were
kind of endless. I was in extreme case, but a lot of people that grow up in
long, and it's kind of the perfect storm for drugs, because there's money, but
there's, and there's opportunity. And then your parents are also trying to
fucking stay of alive. So they're working alive, usually. And then your parents are also trying to fucking stay
alive so they're working a lot usually,
and they can't really pay, you know,
it's the perfect storm to just get fucked up, you know?
And it's, but I don't regret it a lot.
I had a lot of fun.
Yeah.
You know what I had all out of the way.
But if I had a kid or if I had a friend's kid or anybody that you know, and I had all out of the way. But if I had a kid or a friend's kid
or anybody that I was like an uncle
or Godfather to or whatever,
I would never want them to do the things that I did.
I would never raise my child in Long Island.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Especially right now.
Do you know my brother's actually moving out of the state now
because he like had to make the choice of like,
move to Long Island or like,
he had to find a house if he wanted to have kids.
Yeah.
And he said that in public schools in Long Island right now, they're teaching kids how
to inject their friends if they were to die of a heroin overdose.
Like I really like going out and fucking thing right.
That's kind of nice.
They're training that.
That seems crazy.
I know training video.
Everybody know after after.
No, because these kids are oh yeah of course there's like
fucking what is your like auditory excuse me Clark to do
forget your adrenochrome could you show up to
class without your adrenochrome tonight this is the
third time this week what is going to happen when
what is it called what is the stuff they stick you
with what is that called?
Naxalon. That's a lot.
Relax on. Dude, Darius. So Ray Compasaw girl Odeeing on the train. Oh my god. Unless that's just a cover story
Marks on her neck.
I'm just going to see PR wrong.
But, dude, I agree with you, man.
It is rough, like, great.
On-site in school buildings, bro.
That's fucking disgusting.
Read this, Mike.
This is a little bit of a disgrace.
So, school districts on Long Island and statewide are stocking
in the Lock Zone on-site in school buildings
to have the opioid antidote at the ready
because of the growing issue of abuse of the deadly drug educators and health officials said.
So yeah, there's 340 schools across New York state, including dozens on Long Island,
that have provided training for school nurses and other personnel.
But it doesn't say they're teaching the kids.
But I'm sure that's next.
Where is he going to move?
Austin actually.
Yeah, well, they're dirt pigs too.
I mean, so his kids keep beating out the Hollacks.
You know what I mean?
My kids are drunks and they own a food truck
and they're in shops for a whole new thing.
You know what I mean?
His life is a nurse and supposedly nurses get paid
the fuck out in Austin.
I would not want to ever live in Long Island again.
I've done my, and I, I, listen, I didn't mind living here.
I didn't mind growing up there, but I would never go back to live in Long Island again. I've done my, and I, I, Liz, I didn't mind living here. I didn't mind grow up there, but I would never go back
to live there, I think.
I was like, I wonder if there's something I do there.
I do, I do, I do.
No, I don't know.
I would people are also, I don't realize it.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, that's the only way I'd move back there.
It's like, I can't see my neighbors.
You don't realize until you leave, but the people
are so stereotypically long Island.
When you go back, and you're just hearing them talk,
and look, go perform a governor. Yeah. Yeah, I did a fucking sucks. I know, and I did a man-a-leven joke out there
and I heard a bunch of fucking, I didn't really hear this, but you could tell they fucking hated me.
I did like a 9-11, it was like a fun island. I was like a different anywhere else.
Wow, I'm out fucking later. Now but it is, listen, here's the thing. A lot of people that you have
bumper stickers.
Here's the difference between Long Island
and other places.
Long Island has a breed of person that's actually,
like, it's the confident heck.
It's the person who's kind of a heck, but very confident.
They think they're right.
They kind of appropriate the success of New York City.
To like, we live 40 minutes out of New York City.
So it's like, but they never go there.
They never go there.
They don't go into it.
And then they also, when a comedian comes to town,
like, listen, I've performed in a lot of Hick areas,
but sometimes you'll do a joke there.
And like some people will just be like,
yeah, that wasn't for me, but they're in their head
that like, maybe I didn't get it or maybe they're like,
well, Nieland's like, you're wrong.
You're wrong.
I don't like it.
Fuck you and can who you are?
Signed foul.
Doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter your level of relative success.
Fuck you, you're here in Long Island in a strip mall
next to a dairy barn.
And we are the arbiters of taste.
It's kind of, you know.
So Texas basically, it's exactly like Texas.
I don't know, I haven't done a lot of that.
There's a scene in that comedian documentary
with Signed Fat where he says,
let's go out to miserable governors.
It's like performing in Alabama.
Yeah, because really Alabama,
it's crazy. How big the have to get before people shut the
fuck up a list of you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What did you grow up, Gabby?
Yeah, Jersey, Jersey Shore.
Jersey Shore, like Tom's River?
Yeah, no, a little north.
Okay, and what is that like in the winter?
It's a tundra.
We do a lot of drugs.
There's a lot of heroin too, but it's not.
It's just a lot of pain to see.
And then in the summer, it comes alive.
Yeah, everyone parties their balls off.
Yeah.
So we've heroin so hot.
But heroin's big now, man.
When I went out, heroin's in.
I was in, I was in.
I was a drug addict for years.
Like I was not a fucking, I was a guy that would like,
I was drugs and I never really saw her.
I mean, either.
Or heard about heroin cocaine, crack,
well like oxygen.
Of course, yeah, but then there was like the oxy-con.
I heard about all that, but I never heard about heroin.
I was never like to, that's made me feel.
No, me neither, dude.
And so sick, so fast.
Yeah.
What about you, you're all with your straight-out trend?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you've never done anything?
No.
Yeah.
Never?
I like drank when I was young, but that was it.
Yeah.
No, but I would take the green Watson's, the viking in,
and then I would take the Watson's family
that makes viking.
And then I would take the blues, and then the narcos
are called the blue narcos.
And then the oxies and all that.
They're like the old.
80-nil-gram oxies.
And you would just scratch and feel queasy.
It was not fun.
Yeah, we used to have,
we used to, I mean, that's terrible.
We used to have like ecstasy parties
where everybody's just taking ecstasy in a house
and like it was really fun.
And one time we got it cut with heroin.
Nobody's fucking, it's just a big buffet.
Yeah, it's just a bunch of meat.
It's just meat.
Yeah, we used to have it.
It's just, everybody can just eat this on your island eating teramisu, go, ooh. Oh, it's about your meat. It's just me. Yeah, we used to have it. It's just everybody.
You're just eating some island eating teramisu going,
ooh, oh, oh, oh, so good.
What's it called? That family dinner.
Yeah, it is like just taking the XC with your mom.
So nice.
But we took XC that was caught with heroin,
but it was more heroin than it was MDMA.
Well, it's cool, of course.
Very sad.
Yeah, very sad.
People were just in the house

Yeah, man. It's I mean, I was already doing it. Yeah, just without a kid. I mean
Yeah, so what are you excited about holidays or that cuz I don't know man my mom passed a few years back
So like I just, I haven't, I've never celebrated another holiday

Right.
So there's a whole bunch of angry shit
that comes with the holidays.
Yeah.
But this year with the kid,
I hope in it will be like,
I'm glad you're here.
It's great, your holidays are gonna be so much better
every year, dude.
I feel like once he's able to start the process what the holidays are that'll be really cool
But it's a little bit like realize he's the Thanksgiving's about genocide of the natives
So much
Like right now like this holidays very much for like yeah, my wife's family my family and the rest
But I think as you cuz I think holidays are about Listen, me and all my cousins were all 30.
In the late 20s, early 30s, nobody has kids.
People have chose heroin.
They chose stand-up comedy.
They chose, and it's depressing.
We will just sit around and everybody just kind of looks
at each other and eats and then it gets to the Canada.
Everybody has their like ill-filling stories
each other, but they don't bring it up.
So you just kind of sit in there in this weird energy
for hours, and then you have to fucking act like it's okay
when it's really not.
Families are pussed.
And then you're like, I should be purple like Uncle Ray.
That guy's fucking killed by the eyes.
Yeah.
Families are ponsing scheme and if you don't keep
pumping it with new people, it's bad.
You mean the new people that don't hate everything yet.
That's why you have kids.
My heroine uncle, I didn't even tell him that we had a kid yet.
So if he shows up, I'm going to be like,
hey, I had a kid.
Like, I don't even know how to even speak to some of these people.
He's very interesting.
What about your Thanksgiving, Gabby?
What do you do?
You go back and go to a club.
We go to a club and we just kind of like stop.
Phone party.
Would you lines of code off of a turkish?
You don't.
You seem at all like somebody to grow up in the Jersey shores.
Not at all, I do.
I know, we kind of rebelled.
Though, my pants are bad.
Are you Italian?
No.
We're the only non-italian people in my town.
Everyone who's Italian.
It's amazing.
It's amazing.
Yeah.
Wow.
We do like misfit Thanksgiving.
What the fuck is that?
Because no one talks to their family.
So it's our family and everyone who doesn't talk to their family comes to our Thanksgiving.
And everyone gets fucking hammered at five.
It's amazing.
Okay.
This is after Christmas last year.
Yeah.
It's the best.
Yeah.
Got a bunch of comics stuck in town.
I go to Rockville Center to my aunt's house.
I'm trying to get a new family.
I want a new family.
I think at 30 you should be able to get a new family.
Yeah.
No offense to my old family.
I think it's my old family.
It's my old family.
I think it's my old family.
The reality is I think once you've walked the journey
with people, you get to a point, you go,
let's start seeing other families.
Yeah, I would really love to trick another old woman
to paying my phone bill.
Yeah, I mean, listen.
There's websites for that, man.
Yeah, really?
Yeah, what about you?
What do you do for Thanksgiving?
I usually go out to my mom's house out in Babylon
just everyone kind of congregates there.
I'm going out and just like, go into Indianapolis
because my best friend lives out there now.
Oh wow.
So a bunch of us from Long Island
are gonna like go out there and hang out
with her house with her boyfriend.

No.
I'll tell you right now, man.
I mean, it's a fucking holiday start to suck
when you get older.
It's really wild, man.
And how much you love them as a kid.
I still love Christmas, man.
I mean, I love everything but Christmas.
I love everything.
No, I mean, I love Christmas.
I just don't love the day sitting there with the people.
But I love, to me, Christmas is December.
Yes.
All of December.
All of December.
Christmas in New York, the tree.
Hot shots.
The Mormons give free hot chocolate on the Upper West Side.
The people with the bell rings.
I'm always drinking it.
I'm always drinking it.
Yeah, I just always walk by.
I'm like Joseph Smith.
And I'm like, why not?
I'm not a Mormon right now.
But it just seems like a fun thing to do.
Yeah, it's fun, man.
It's such a good time.
I get hammered.
Yeah, I mean, I'm just, I'm just into the whole fucking season.
You know, I'm like a loser.
I love Christmas. I'm walking around like a fucking, I'm like singing silver bell.
I love that. I like people's energy during Christmas.
I really like that. I even feel it in like, especially as comics, you feel that shit
in the clubs, you feel like people are, especially people are in New York City.
Like it's just a fun time.
So that's your time.
It spikes hard though January 2nd.
Just that's what I go to LA for two weeks in January, two weeks in February, because I get suicidal.
Yeah.
Here in January, February, it gets so cold.
We ever think about this.
The only reason we have these suicide, the only reason we have these holidays is because
during this time more people are suicidal, so they need something to like, no, Jesus
was going. That's a theory that I'm not working with.
I think it's probably untrue. Yeah I'm working with. That's true, but I'm with you for that.
What do you do for Thanksgiving?
I just go out to Long Island.
We used to, when I was growing up, my grandfather
at this big house on Long Island, and he built it,
and it was like this huge house.
It was a really cool part of Long Island, Brookville,
which is a very wealthy now, but not in the 75 when he built his house,
it was just like literally vacant land.
It was really crazy.
They had 50 people.
They would have everybody,
he had just big Irish family,
every cousin, everybody that ever met.
And it would go on from like two in the afternoon
till four a.m.
and there'd be fist fights and music
and all kinds of cool shit.
And like my nan would make two 22 pound turkey. It would be like insane and
then you know you're by year by year it gets smaller smaller smaller they sell
the house to move to another house people have to stop drinking people go to
rehab get divorced and now it's like it's an Irish family so now it's just
like eight people who are completely shattered sitting at a table, snaring in each other.
What is left?
Not what are we thankful for.
Right, we used to do that.
One of our houses, someone would cook.
It was a big thing, everybody had a good time.
And then as it gets smaller, you start just be like,
let's just go to a restaurant and have people cook it for us.
I think that's to move a lot of times. It's to just kind of go to the restaurant and just say, my uncle's in the restaurant business
in New York and stay-couses and like he always gets a private room on Christmas and like,
it's just so nice.
It's really nice.
It's really nice.
It's the one holiday that I'm excited for.
And shellfish towers and you know, rib eyes and just craziness and you just feel, you
know, and then like, and he invites his trash family
from like upstate, they come in and they're like,
the whole room is ours.
They're like, look at this shri-
and they go to the snake well done,
because they're animals.
Gotta be careful, but it's like it's not Denny's.
You know, pig.
But it's like that type of shit is fun, man.
And it's just like, I think what Ricky is gonna see
every year it's gonna get better
because you've got the kid.
Because without the kid, man, let me tell you right now,
it's fucking rough.
No, I know, I absolutely know.
It's, I mean, the holidays in the last two years
have not been my favorite time at all.
And it's always like where my father wants to like research
and be like, hey, what's being a family?
It's like, fuck you, dude. It's like a crazy, what to like research and be like, hey, what's being a family? It's like, fuck you dude.
It's like a crazy, what do you think Trump does for Thanksgiving?
Like what do you think the Trump thinks
who rating is?
You're not, I'm sure they eat you well.
But he's like, you got a one that's a lot of it's nice.
It's Marlago, it's you.
It's you.
They don't even have Turkey that lobsters.
What's the interesting?

the way they decorated the White House for Christmas.
Yeah, I saw it.
It was the craziest thing I'd ever seen.
The Obama's had this beautiful spread.
Look at, look at Melania, look at this, look at Obama number one.
This was the Obama Christmas, 2014.
Yeah.
And look at Obama's Christmas.
Okay, now look at that.
Oh my God.
Look at that.
How terrifying.
That Christmas.
That's unbelievable.
Look, it's crazy.
Dude, that's the white witch from Narnia.
Yeah.
That's the fucking upside down.
It's just so cool.
It looks like one of those like restaurants that does like,
oh, like molecular gastronomy.
Yeah.
Like, it looks like a nasty care.
Yeah, I'm telling you right now, man.
It looks like a place in Long Island, you do Coke,
and it looks like a Miami club,
but it's on the shitty like Route 110 next with Burger King.
Now I want to hang out there.
Yeah, this is not, it's terrifying.
It looks like every wedding hole in Long Island.
I just wonder like what there's that, what there's things,
like, does Trump carve the turkey?
Does he say anything before the meal?
It's like he get off in person, not a turkey.
Just a poor baby.
Just a poor baby.
He partens a poor baby.
Yeah, he got one of them.
You're good for now.
Yeah, man, it. Yeah, man.
It's wild, man.
I'm gonna say Trump when we go around saying thankful this year.
Oh, that's hilarious.
That's so funny.
That's Donald Trump.
Relax, my general Trump.
My son, Donald Trump, I love him.
That's a big deal, man.
People are afraid. My family never a big deal, man.
People are afraid.
My family never talked about politics, really, because we have so many personal tragedies.
That politics is so far away.
But there's people that are really upset now, because you're like, I don't want to go home,
because they have like, you know, relatives that disagree with them, and they get in big fights.
Yeah, we have a rule, no politics.
I'm not nice. Yeah. My family always just argues about who is in big fights. Yeah, we have a rule, no politics on our lives.
Yeah, my family always just argues about
who is the most liberal.
Oh, interesting.
That's always like,
as you wait, vegan turkey.
That's all equating.
I was in the age of,
you're in your aunt's non-binary now.
Yeah, you have to call her day.
I will be referred to as day.
You're like, all right.
It's just like my uncle and my grandpa,
like yelling each other about politics
and then my one other uncle who's in New York City cop is just like, I think blue lives matter also. Yeah, right,, all right. It's just like my uncle and my grandpa, like yelling each other about politics, and then my one other uncle who's in New York City
cop is just like, I think blue lives matter also.
Yeah, right, right, right, right, right.
There's no, it's so funny.
We don't have a ton of those fights in our family
because like, we have a range of people.
I think we have a lot of Democrats
and we have like Uncle Tommy's Republican,
but like in a cartoonish way,
like he, he is not even like, I don't even know if he knows why.
He was a Republican.
He doesn't know,
like he just has to make America great again hat.
I don't know if he knows what it is even, you know?
Like I think he just thinks it's like a fun thing.
And he just likes big groups of people.
Yeah, he just thinks it's a fun.
And then he always ran.
I like winners.
Yeah, that's what he likes.
Right, he likes, no idea.
But did your family ever get in fights?
Oh yeah, we're Mexican.
Yeah.
So what do you guys fight about?
Just Porsche.
Usually, usually, it happened to them when they were 12.
Just Porsche.
I love that.
65 year old people argued about like banging someone's girlfriend when they were in high
school.
Really?
Oh, that's good.
Just bringing back the numbers.
Never let anything go. So.
Do you guys ever like, is there like ever a thing
where nobody talks for a while?
Yeah, there'll be like 20 minutes of silence while.
Oh, I'm talking like 20 years, a grudges.
Oh, yeah.
That's how you're talking.
Yeah, I'm talking like that.

My father and his brothers got mad at each other
and they threw each other in a pool during my communion.
Yeah, what I mean.
So that's, you know, it's like,
that's why I want to fight him by wedding.
That's a culturally challenging event.
And you know what I mean?
I think the communion, but I, there's been like a,
there's been a lot of fights where like my, you know, somebody wanted to drive home drunk.
This is a huge, huge like catalyst for a fight. Somebody wants to drive home plastered.
That's bullshit, dude. I drive home drunk every holiday.
I always say go. They all go, yeah, they go, are you okay? I'm like, wow. That's fine.
You're like, I'm saying help me. Please don't let me do this. I'm like, wow. I'm like, no, no. That's fine. You're like, my gosh, my gosh.

They're like, get in the car.
They're like, hopefully he's dead.
My cousin and heroin trying to drive home,
she doesn't have a car.
She's just like, oh my gosh.
She's sitting on a trash can.
She's just miming down the street.
Waving to people.
Everyone in my family stopped drinking,
so everyone now just has their own two liter of Coke Zero.
I don't think you have a party as well.
I don't think you have a family.
I don't think you have a cult.
I don't think you have a family.
You don't have a good shoes.
There are a lot of things.
I cult is the shoe.
Are more you explain your family.
And our leader, our own dad.
I go home, I sleep in a big bunk bed, we all have a magic
track suit, it's very nice.
We all get together, we drink a free-range water.
And we watch Camera Ness Pizzeros special every year.
Camera Ness Pizzeros Christmas special.
And then we make a list of words we can never say.
And then we leave.
That is a winter.
You need to say winter, we're thankful for this. That's so funny. Say and then we leave
Trump Thanksgiving gotta be terrifying the tomorrow. Oh, man. That has to be awesome like when you have that much money You kind of do your own shit. Well, you want to do it. Yeah, yeah, you know sure they don't even all sit down together
You kind of do your own shit. Well, true. I'm sure they don't even all sit down together
He doesn't have any like his kids in hand. There's no relation I
They all get together to take the picture and then it's all separate. Yeah, and then that's it
No, I don't know. We don't know that. I don't know. Maybe they talk but I just can't see him as like an involved dad
Yeah, that's hard to see
I feel like a Christmas
He probably gives his kids
like a lot of presents, but he didn't buy any of them.
Right.
It's just like a car than like a present of the free world.
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, but before that, yeah.
Right.
No, every year.
Every year.
Every year.
He thinks Santa's like a socialist or something.
He's one of those guys who like you wonder like what? And you know of my favorite things about him is they say he just eat just eat fast food
And he has like a few friends where he just calls them and it's like their CEO's major company
Just what are you doing?
He calls them at the end of the night and just yells about how shitty everything is and how everybody's trying to fucking do them in and get them
And he just calls them and he lays in his bed and he eats a big Mac and he calls them
He just complains that I'm like,
my life is Trump.
Like that's insane.
Like you can have all the money.
He's got a special.
He's running the world.
It's the same life.
We're all just eating shitty and complaining.
Calling our three loser friends and complaining
about everything like,
he's like, did you see that vulture list

38 comedians. 38 non-binary comedians that you will know if you stumble into the back of a tapas restaurant
I love those lists cuz they none of them have any like like it's always a weird number of people
It's like
17. Yeah 106 comedians you should have known by yet
That was the last one that said 100 comedians that didn't pull their dicks out.
And it's like, you got a fact check on that?
Like, you have a fucking stop it.
I mean, most lists I know I should be on,
but that one is, I know I should be.
And that's the one that I'm like, okay, this makes sense.
I think it's fun.
Nothing of your baby, too.

I was in LA for Halloween.
It's kind of not the same.
You kind of need the East Coast for holidays.
Yeah, it felt very, very, very hot.
People get mad at me, but I'm like, you know what?
Why?
I don't know.
There's something about a Hawaiian Christmas.
Doesn't do it for me.
Yeah.
I don't know.
People disagree, but you know what?
I just think that Christmas Thanksgiving, these are holidays and they're all well.
Well, they're about the East Coast.
See like a fall three with lights on it.
And the South.
And the warlands and places like that.
See like a palm tree with lights on it's like, you know, it's like fucked up.
I just hate seeing those people in LA
wearing like north faces.
Right.
It's fucking 65.
Yeah, to me, it's like, your AC is set to this stupid.
Take off your jacket.
LA, it's like, do what you do.
Just be, because LA is like 80, 75 every day.
It's like, be that.
You're not holidays.
Holidays are about changing seasons
and the passage of time,.A. is just about
Burning down the fire stops. It's hot to dry burns down again. Like yeah, to me
It's like the idea of like that is disgusting. I'm looking at a palm tree right now. Yeah, it looks like Christmas
She said to me. It's just not the move. No, I like a nice cold
Christmas me too, you know, I like walking by seeing the tree every year
I walk by Rockefeller Center. I look at the tree
Work in the city, okay
We talking about where do you work to work in that area? No, okay, no, I'm not even I'm never in that area
Okay, but it's nice to walk by.
Yeah, like if you go to the stage, everyone has a winter spot they like.
I like the Central Park ice-creating rink, the Trump rank, not because it's his, but I
just like that view.
Because the other rink is too much for me.
Watching people eat it on that rink is great too.
Great.
It's a great hour of your life if you get a good day.
I love like a hot chocolate in Central Park at the
Central Park. I did that. I used to love that to walk through the park and then go to the
plaza. Yeah, I love that. It's a lot of men use socks now. It does suck. It's so. They changed it up.
But I just like I love Christmas in New York. And as soon as like January 2nd, I'm like,
I just like I love Christmas in New York and as soon as like January 2nd I'm like, uh-huh me get out of here. Yeah, let me go. I'm an 18 foot tree.
Do you really?
I was a fucking tree. Do you do like the deck? Are you when are you gonna day you decorating the tree?
Probably usually like a day after a day after or so
Thanks given no, we just do it ourselves. Wow. That's awesome, dude
What do you do? You have a little tree in a story? I get a little tree.
I like to put it on my, you know,
on my, on my, on my nights.
Me and Alan Fox are gonna get a little tree.
He'll steal from another neighbor.
I'll never get your roommates.
Somebody will be like,
knocking on the door,
they'll be like, my tree's missing.
What's it like?
What?
I'm like, what?
I'm like, what?
Living with Alan Fox.
He's fine.
We're never there. He's never there. We're in different schedules. We'll both out nights What's like what's the bathroom look like to find just plain? I mean, he's got a girlfriend
She's a lot of hair. It comes over. There's hair dye
Palm made you know, but it's like normal. I mean, it's just a pretty normal
It's as normal as grown men having to live with each other
You know what I mean. It's just like, you and him living together
makes me laugh so hard.
Well, you know, you know him for like a long time.
So funny.
I didn't know him until I moved in with him.
I never met him really.
I never met him.
I had no idea.
We were kind of awkward.
Which is new as Skams.
I didn't know.
He says, appear mid-scheme, dude.
He's an enterprising guy.
Like, I respect him.
I kind of respect, like, I kind of respect, like I kind of respect there.
And it's like, at a certain point,
I tell him to go harder, like I'm like, fucking, go hard.
Oh yeah, no, there's no back stepping now.
You've already made your bed.
Did you know him for a long time though?
I just knew him around because he was always running
his scams.
Oh.
Did he just always running a scam out of comedy?
This is not me saying this, Alan.
I'm gonna get a fucking face.
He went from Alan Fent, Alan Fuck, he's changed his name.
That's the number one thing you do when you're a scam artist.
You change your name a bunch.
Well, I think I have a bunch of uncles that have done the same.
Well, that was his original name.
And then he changed it to Finn, because he got teased as Fox people to which is I mean
If you're a kid and you're not teasing someone in Fox
And then he got teased so then he got he went then he became 35 years old and then changed his name again
Because he was scamming people and people knew his fucking name
with the bullshit. Stop with the bullshit.
Let me know just change.
Oh, you know what?
I don't think people are gonna tease me anymore for this.
I've got an over this.
No, you've been scamming people.
I know you're game, but the people she did.
I literally never thought about it.
And I'm not kidding with you.
I never thought about that angle.
That's actually interesting.
I never thought about that.
I just took a face, but I was like, okay.
But that's interesting.
Because people recognize his name from the fucking... It like one of the Craigslist ads he puts
up to get people to do his fucking shows. It's like a sushi restaurant that changes
their name. Like I went to this restaurant in Korea down the other day. It was more Shanghai
Dream. Now it was called Shanghai Mung. I'm like, what happened? And they got rid of the
sushi. And I'm like, wait a minute, what happened? And it's just always probably a tax
reason where they're like, no, Shanghai Dream's all that money. Shanghai mom owes nothing.
I was like in like an eight year old kid's name. Yeah, it's an a dead person's name.
That's so funny. What what's your McCall? I just try to get away. Yeah, we can talk about
it for an hour. You're gonna talk about it for an hour all the time. I'm gonna talk about
it for an hour. I know. I didn't for an hour all the time. I'm gonna talk about it for an hour, I don't know.
I didn't know he was going on Craigslist to get people to his show.
And like, what would what's what bringers do, man?
Is that true?
Yeah, that's how I got on my first bringer.
My first show is a bringer for Craigslist.
New York Comic Club.
Baron Aaron Sheba Mason.
What's his name?
What was he, Baron?
He's Steve Aaron's.
Yeah, Steve Aaron's put me on my first show. and so it was what would the Craigslist answer?
It would just be like you want to do comedy?
It's a big day. It would be like you want to be a big famous star with a great life
Bring seven people to my blah blah blah. I love the idea and when you're looking at these
There's not a lot of like choices. It's like between him sheba and
Fucking Jeff Lawrence.
Well, Jeff Lawrence is the warm b**.
And then when you hear about the new guy, Alan Fux,
you're like, I can't possibly, Alan, V. Alan Fux.
It's gonna beat Alan Fux.
I'm the guy that's.
There's no way you changed your day from Jeff Lawrence to Fux.
It's gonna be a different Alan F.
You got to respect Jeff Lawrence.
Jeff Lawrence is the warm b** of that shit.
Left and Boudre has.
Oh, I've always got. Oh, yeah yeah he's got training seminars he has he has
comedians working as teachers for him to do crazy yeah crazy and like
every now and then he takes the money he goes to South American smokes crack

By the way, the description of this show is technical problems.
Do not listen to this show.
Ricky can afford to do this.
I am not as cool as you.
You can afford to piss all about it.
Not, I guess I can.
That's a good point.
I'm gonna call this one allegedly.
I need my life before that. You said call this one allegedly. I need my life in the room with a hunch. I need a
He'll burn down the apartment. I'll come back to a burn department. I'll be like what happened

idea. He was in train, Rick. Deflorentz is like, sometimes you'll message me and be like,
wait a minute
I was supposed to be on this bringer and I can't respond because I'm in Cartagena smoke
out
Go down. Yeah, I don't really know that guy either
I wouldn't say carefully would be the word I would use to choose about this line up
Okay, she's you know, this is a person
I Okay, she's, you know, this is a person. Keep going. Watch your hands on me, break down.
I got it away.
Okay, now we're off to,
how are we off to Shane?
I love to Shane.
They got a picture of Farley, right?
Yeah.
I'm sure Lesley Jones knows her face is up there.
Have any of you guys taken a comedy class?
No, but I worked.
I worked for Jeff Lawrence for like a year and a half
when he was like doing that.
And I would audit those comedy classes.
And one time he got Julio Galarotti
to like speak to everyone.
And everybody's like,
well, Julio's just so hot.
Everybody's like, I know.
It's a good looking comedian.
I know.
I'm big knowledge, I try to get me into his career.
But it's so funny because Julio knew it was bullshit too.
So he's like, yeah, you know, just fucking keep going
and keep writing.
And everyone's like, yeah, you know, just fucking keep going and keep riding. And I would never keep riding.
He goes, he goes, he wants to say a few words to the class of the day and I said to him,
I go, think about that. Think about that. And he's like, yeah, okay. Think about that.
How does that go? Your instructor told us to not do it in our daily jobs. Yeah, that's an accent. Alan.
Put that out in your head, Jeff.
I did a show at some comedy theater in North Carolina.
And they're like, it's like an improv's place.
But they're like, do you want to talk to our stand-up class
beforehand?
And literally, I was just like, I'm no one.
I have nothing.
New York is terrible.
And I'm dying.
And they're like, dying.
OK, great.
So fun.
And then after seven years
You two can look up websites on a on a pot. Yeah, well the other thing is like I'm sorry
I don't have one road
People like all right, they were like friends. Yeah, don't get sad
I love the idea of people teaching a comedy clip makes me laugh like I laugh at the idea
But I think it's a fun idea.
Well, they people sitting in seats with, you know, they put up all across the country.
San Antonio has some guy doing this shit, Houston Dallas.
Every city has this guy doing this shit.
But at the same time, I think there is something to, because I've done weekends where they're
like, hey, can you come in at noon and talk to the crew?
And then like, when I'm in certain places and I'm like, okay, there's one club they get
to perform at. They get to get to perform at they get to speak
Like they don't get to speak to a lot of comedians other than each other like that's like that and their worlds are so small
It's tight. I don't mind going in there and being like look you guys need to like you need to move that way in this way
Like instead of just like doing the same fucking
And like R.E. seven years R..E. did one that they posted on YouTube
and Ralphie Mae did one that they posted on.
Ralphie Mae did a brilliant one.
Listen, they're in wrong with like a seminar.
To me, the idea of a class,
but if you're getting the guy,
I wrote,
I wrote,
I'm super sorry,
you can learn from a comic sitting in a classroom.
Yeah, we're three weeks in and it's Wednesday
and you're showing up and it's like to me,
there's just something funny.
I think a seminar is great.
Somebody wants to sit there for two hours and tell you to deal phenomenal.
Yeah, listen to like a current headline or tell you how to do comedy.
I think it's a lot more important than somebody was it day job and who's like, uh,
Jeff Lawrence has given me this position, uh, you know, because I helped him escape from a cartel.
You don't want to be like chapter two, sound cues.
Yeah, Ken, he's fine.
Let me read this on the right hand here, because you know,
we, you know, I, let me tell you, a lot of people are,
you know, a lot of people don't go out to restaurants.
I think that's just ruining the country, but let me now,
let me now give them a hearing.
Here's the thing, you know, I make jokes about the way
I put in my act and I, and I, I say all kinds of things
about it,
but what I really mean to say is that,
that they deliver farm fresh ingredients
and step-by-step recipes to your door.
Blue Apron's mission is to make incredible,
home cooking accessible to everyone.
You might say to yourself,
hey, they're selling me cooking.
It's literally been around forever.
Am I an idiot?
Nope.
Blue Apron achieves this by supporting
a more sustainable food system,
setting the highest standards of ingredients, and building a community of home chefs
These are chef design recipes. You don't have to worry about getting a bunch of the ingredients and cooking and throwing something out
They have step-by-step instructions. You know how to do it. It's meal prep. You can do it in 20 minutes
It's very easy get rid of your grocery list and let blue Apron do meal prep for you choose your recipes based on your schedule
They have all kind all the, everything's measured out.
It's very easy.
If you're into cooking, it's a great way to get into cooking.
So check out this week's menu and get your first three meals
free at blueapred.com slash dude.
That's blueapred.com slash dude.
Do you, do you, do you get your first three meals free?
Blue apron's a better way to cook.
I know cooking's intimidating.
A lot of people, for whatever reason,
they want to get healthier, they want to eat, you know, better portions. That's one of the
things I like about blue apron is it's portion control. You can do it with your friends,
your family, you get involved. You start treating yourself better, getting healthier. That's
a big thing. A lot of people go out to eat and you really don't have any control about
what's going in the food. You don't know what's going in the food. Restaurant food tastes
good, but it's notoriously unhealthy.
The portions are huge.
They want you to take food home.
They want you to have take out in your refrigerator
with their name on a bag.
Mentally, you know, you're downloading.
These are all the tricks that restaurants use.
So it's very hard to get in shape
when you're going out to eat or you're eating on the go.
You're eating meal bars and protein shakes
and all that crap.
It's much better to have blue apron food delivered to your door so that you can cook it
with your friends and you can see what's going in your food.
Get your kids involved, teach them, have them have healthy attitudes about food while they're
young because you don't want them to be my age and like still figuring out like, wait a
minute, what's good, what's bad.
So reality of the situation is this, check out this week's menu,
first three meals free, uh, blue apron, that comes with dude, D-U-D-E.
Listen, what are you gonna do? It's a better way to cook folks, blue apron.
That's what I say. That's what I say. Now, you know, I think that's what it is, folks,
you know, and I've been very, um, you, and I've been very vocal about what I think
about people at Cook.
I think Cookings and Odd Fettish and people should stop inflicting it on people.
But, you know, hey, stay home.
That's what New York City is about now.
Buy a place, stay home, don't go out, there's no why, it's all done, snow live, it's not cool, it's all over.
Buy, get a pod, stay in your pod,
wash Netflix, eat whatever they deliver to you,
and die.
That is New York.
I mean, you know, I mean, the public spaces are, you know.
God, that sounds so great.
I mean, that's what it is.
I can't wait, you know.
Well, you're doing it, you're doing it now, you know.
Listen, this is what New York City's become.
New York used to mean something.
It means nothing now.
It really does.
It's not true.
It's not true.
It's not true.
This is not true.
This is not true.
This is completely bullshit.
Absolutely is true.
It's completely in every way.
I mean, New York City used to mean tough street smart people
that were cultured and sophisticated.
I think New York now is a haven for suburbanites that come from other places that bring a suburban culture to New York City.
It's a corporate oligarchy of a lot of big companies that bring a lot of workers in.
They displace people that made neighborhoods interesting and cool.
And I think a lot of the cool things about New York are leaving.
And that's just the way it is.
There's nothing you can really do about it
other than 9.11 again.
I'm not saying do that.
Anyway, that's the show everybody.
I was hard to do.
I mean, you know what I mean?
But I'm just saying, and I'm a little bit cynical
in the past, but Ricky, you would have to grant me
the thing that like, you know, what it's meant
to be a New Yorker has changed, you know?
Kind of real estate in New York,
some money laundering scheme for people all over the world.
And it's like the average condo here's $2 million.
The average apartment is four grand a month.
That's a certain type of people that are going to live here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So where do you think people should go?
What do you think the...
I don't know.
I don't tell people what to do.
I'm just saying this is what you're talking about.
I'm just saying what it is.
I'm telling you what to do.
I don't care where you go.
Go to go to anywhere.
I'm just saying there's a certain type of person who lives in New York City now.
And there's a certain type of person that, you know, when you moved to New York City
a while ago, you know, there was violence or other things, not everybody moved.
And not everybody moves here.
Everybody comes here and then it's great.
There's nothing wrong.
I'm not saying that's necessarily bad, but you have a disney-fied city.
You go through times and look at the shows on Broadway.
It's like, oh, Come See Frozen 2, Come See.
And it's kind of gross, and it's like, oh, that's gross.
When I grew up, there were real shows like Rent,
where they would just look at the audience and yell,
AIDS, now.
AIDS, AIDS, you are the AIDS.
And they throw AIDS blood.
It was real, it was real theater.
You know what I mean? I'm just saying, whatever it is, what it is, it doesn't matter, you know,
it doesn't matter, nothing.
I'm just saying LA's where it's at, that's where all the cool original artists are in Los Angeles.
You think?
No, I'm talking about it.
I just like it, it's warm.
I was out there last week.
You don't like it?
You like it?
No, really?
No, that town gives me a lot of, it's like the last town
in the United States that still revolves around the business.
That's good.
I think it's the only town that revolves around it.
No, not back in the day, but I mean,
it's the last town left.
Yeah.
It's the last town left.
Oh, that's based on a business.
And it's just, gives me anxiety.
I don't like it.
What if it wasn't based on the business?
It'd be worse every place
I go there like I'm working. Yeah, you're working the whole time. You're there. I feel like it's new your work is that New York
Is that too? I mean everybody you can step away from it. I can step away from comedy or work or the rest
Well, I think if you get in the entertainment business
But New York just to sheer amount of hours you have to work to make a salary to live here is no joke
You know, I mean New York is also a city about working.
I don't see a lot of people loafing around and you how much you have to make to live in
LA.
I don't know, you know, I mean, that's a good question.
But I mean, they're both very expensive cities.
Yeah.
You know, you can't really loaf around too much unless your parents were successful.
Yeah.
You know, but so you hate it out there.
Yeah, I really don't like it.
I really like it. I like it. I mean, every time I pretty much have there. Yeah, I really don't like it. Really.
I like it.
Every time I pretty much have a panic attack, it's in Los Angeles.
Interesting.
Some people really don't like it.
They say about 74 grand to live comfortably in L.I.
But you know, comfortably, that's a, who knows what that means.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This one about New York says 80 grand, but they're saying if you live in a $2,000 a month
studio apartment in Manhattan
Right, which one was that happening?
I mean that's a shoe in the East Village, maybe
Yeah, you like even you like live in a family's house in Chinatown
Elderly, square foot for some elderly gypsy
When I moved into New York City, I lived in a $500 month room on 45th between 8th and 9th Avenue,
two other comedians in...
I went to that apartment once.
Yeah, with Justin Dodge and Jeff Harris.
Harris, they just got married. Yeah, let me tell you.
And they just got married and it was, we had a shower in the kitchen.
You got to see everything.
We had a shower in the kitchen.
Shower in the kitchen, steam heat, steam pipes.
If you blip bumped into a pipe, you were like, scalded.
We lived on the fifth floor of a five-story walk, a beautiful roof, a very cool roof to hang
out on though.
But yeah, it was like, it was a way like you, you know, the building was built in 1911.
There was very little done since that.
And, you know, but that was a fun, I liked that apartment, even though it was really shitty
and kind of like, I had no door to my room, just like a fucking...
That's so funny.
It's crazy.
A lot of comedians have lived in that appa,
it's like a wayward.
What's one of you talking about?
The one that I lived in with like,
Jesse Dodge, Jamf Hounds.
Oh, I thought, I lived in this place
that a lot of Matt Pavitch's uncle's house.
And it's like, I mean,
the guy, it's an Astoria,
and a lot of comics live there.
The room is very small,
and he's like walking around like,
he looks like a fucking skeleton,
like drapes are on him, he's fucking,
like I'd try to bring a girl back there.
Yeah.
And they'd be like, why is there a ghost walking around?
Right.
Like it was, everything smelled like cigarettes,
it was fucking horrible, there was no floor,
it was wood, so you'd be like stepping on nails
to go to the bathroom.
There's always like a house, like Joe List has stories
about the
Everett house of comedy and Massachusetts and the outside of Boston like all those comics hang out
There's always like a weird, you know, it's like an interesting. Uh, it's weird
It's an interesting, but you know like like I say I don't get to down in New York
I just like to I like to be a commuddin and complain
Yeah, so that's fun. I like you know, that's what I like to do. It's fun
It's fun to complain to what I like to do. It's fun. It's fun to complain.
That's what I like to do.
If I'm not complaining, then what's the point?
You're holding it in.
You know?
Very New York of you.
Yeah, I think so.
I just thought all these people, I just get up,
so I'm like, I'm gonna be Queens.
I like my little hukabar of Astoria.
That's what it is, just a hukabar, people vaping,
just elderly people and babies.
That's a story.
Everybody in Brooklyn's 30 and white,
the story of people you
don't even know that race. You're like, I don't even know what that is. Yeah. And just
an elderly person and a tiny little baby. You're like, how did these people even get to
go to my roommates or foreign? I don't know where they're from. They're like music where
it's like, I like all the time. Yeah. And it's fine. I love it. They're like, they're both
in flight school. I have no idea. They're like they're both in flight school
I think I think I think I think maybe a great little nickname called infidel Yeah, I have no idea. Where would you if you left New York? Where would you go?
Brucey? Oh shit. I actually I had a conversation about this with a
Do you think you're gonna stand New York long-term because you're an interesting guy like I think you could you might I could see you happy in
Oregon or something like that. I was talking about, I was with, uh, comic Casey Orora, when we were talking about where
we would move if we stopped doing comedy.
Yeah.
And my first thought for some reason was Richmond, Virginia.
Okay.
It's just like a fun little college town is very cheap to live there and I just know people
that live there.
What about you, Grammy?
I think I'll move to Portland, Maine.
Have you ever been there?
You look like you should be there.
Yeah, a hundred percent.
Yeah. Well, as your life? You look like you should be. Yeah, 100%. Yeah.
Well, as your life are, you're not going anywhere.
Um, no, if I made enough money, I'd be out.
Where? Westchester?
Um, no, I probably go somewhere hot.
I really like San Diego.
It's great.
I love San Diego.
It's just like so out of the fucking world.
I like to be somewhere where I can be back in New York
in like two hours if I need to be.
Yeah, yeah.
Sure. It's tough. It's tough. The fuck of retound, dude. I'm just gonna be somewhere where I can be back in New York in like two hours. Yeah, yeah sure. It's tough
Returning dude
I want one of those Arizona desert mansions with a pool shape like a guitar
Lights on the pool
Eat and case it is all day. Where would you if you left New York would you go back to Texas, right?
Yeah, I feel like San Marcos something like that. Yeah, I
Don't know that all sounds really cool. I think I can pretty anywhere where people aren't like super trash
You know what I mean like what's Niaq or whatever. Yeah, it's like a nice place
But what who suggested West Nia I did in my head
He knows where he should be. Yeah.
He's like, I gotta be honest.
I have a West Knight egg by.
I should be in the palisades mall in the Rockland County.
Oggling 16-year-olds, you know, but the reality is, you know.
We got two Wendy's.
No, it's a crazy, it's a crazy fucking thing.
I love it here though, but I don't know if I'm,
I don't know if I'll make it forever.
You wanna go to LA?
I think maybe, because I grew up here
the entire time.
Where about would you move there?
I don't know.
I've a friend of West Hollywood, I kinda like that.
I've a friend of Eagle Rock who's got a beautiful house.
With Hollywood loud.
With Hollywood loud.
He's out the way.
He's very out the way.
I mean, this is my favorite thing is Hancock Park,
but it's, you know, we're not in the house.
Yeah, but then my wife lived there when we met.
Beautiful, quiet, stunning, but at the same time.
Stunning.
A town away is the fucking hood,
and you have to put bars on your windows.
I'm not moving to a nice neighborhood.
You do not have to park.
If you get close enough to certain parts in Hancock Park,
there's bars on windows there.
I know, but you don't want to be in those parts.
Those are not the parts.
When you see the bars on the windows, you got, there's bars on the windows. You want to be on
large-mont. I want to, no, I want to be in Hancock Park with a $78 million mansions, you know,
where there's no bars. But I understand, you know, there's bars on the windows in a lot of L.I.
in West Hollywood. Yeah. Like at the park in West Hollywood. And I don't like that shit at all.
I know. It is weird. They try to make it look like part of the decor of the house. Have like
cashmokers. Yeah. It's like bars. Nice bars. It is kind of weird. It is kind of they try to make it look like part of the decor of the house. Have like, it's kind of weird.
It is kind of weird.
I don't know.
It's, you know, I don't know.
We'll have to see what happens.
Yeah, I'm just going to go in with it.
We'll see what happens.
I mean, you know, I mean, at the end of the day, it's like, you know, studio city school.
Yeah, my buddy just bought there.
He got a big nice house in a lot of land.
Burbank.
Yeah. Yeah. My wife's brother's there. He got a big nice house and a lot of land. Burbank. Yeah. Yeah. My wife's brothers there. He has a horse.
You can have a horse in Burbank. Yeah. Why did he get a horse?
He's in a way. He's a vet. Oh, interesting. Yeah. He's a vet.
He has goats, chickens. He's got a farm. It dude.
It why does he why do you have to get animals to be a vet?
I mean, he's you're just Burbank is a town you're allowed to like ride
horses around. So that's like riding horses on his days off.
That's awesome. Yeah. What's going on that everybody's excited about going forward career wise. I was everybody. I am at laugh it up in Pekipsey for one night. Who are you there with? Rosebud Baker, Fini and Canon. Okay. I'll be good show.
Yeah, a lot of fun.
Who headlines that?
I think Canon is, because you got the gig.
Okay, okay.
You guys are like a crew.
We're a crew.
You, Fini, Rosebud, and Canon.
Yeah, I like that.
I appreciate it, crew.
What about you?
What's going on with you?
You got your kid now.
It's like, do you feel differently about this whole business?
Does it reprioritize things where you're like,
who gives a fuck?
You're like, I have a son, I've made life.
I don't know, man, it's weird.
I tested for a TV show last week.
So I had to leave town and go do that,
but everything's very business now where it's like,
if I'm going to do this, it's making sense.
I'm not doing this for fun.
I am doing this for this.
And yeah, man, I just like, I mean, same shit,
doing a bunch of road work and preparing an hour right now.
Yeah, so.
Yeah.
I don't know.
You're gonna be happy in it.
I like it better than a lot of the jobs I had.
So of course.
Yeah, now you, now you have a son man,
that's a whole different situation.
Like you said, you got to, you're, you're,
you're making money for him, you know? Yeah, it's different you have a son man. It's a whole different situation like you said you got a you're you're making money for him
You know, yeah, it's different. It's definitely different
Yeah, it's definitely more rewarding. I felt like after my mom died
I did a lot of stand-up for her and when I found that I was having a kid again
It was nice to get some purpose again. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, which is I think even helped my stand-up
Yeah, yeah, well for a while I was just
I think even helped my stand up. Yeah.
Yeah.
For a while, I was just violently stoned up there.
Right.
And so it's just kind of recalibrated you.
Yeah.
In a good way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's important.
It's interesting.
Somebody broke it down to me like this.
I was living, I was living before mom after mom.
Like that's how I broke down time.
And now I'm living from mom passed to when Leo was born
Right, so that's a cool place to be that's a great place to be telling you everything's gonna get every every year
Things look at better and different and I think when you have a kid and I think that's why it's important to kind of have a kid because like
You you need to almost experience everything that human being can experience if possible. And this is something that a human being experienced, you know?
Yeah, I agree with that completely,
but the other thing is like,
and I don't mean to like come down on anybody
or any comics, but like I look at a lot of comics.
So they don't care about their kids.
A lot of comics don't give a shit.
That, they don't give a shit.
That and the other thing is like,
there's a lot of comics that are still single
well into their 50s. Yeah, yeah. And the way thing is, there's a lot of comics that are still single, well into their 50s.
And the way they talk about it and the way it's like, oh, you're acting like this was a choice,
but I could see it in the way you speak about it.
Right, right, right, right, right, right.
What do you think that sounds like?
Right there, Alan.
Jesus.
I've heard that I made a birth something.
Right, right. But what do you think that is then? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. right like sign fell to single till till he was forty did he do the wrong thing no i mean he did his own thing and i think everybody does their own thing
but at the same time like
i don't
i was a bunch of comics that are forty fifty
years old that i don't think they're gonna turn into sign fell that i don't
know that yeah
but i i don't know that those people might have been single had they not done
comedy like they probably would have been single either way.
I think it's easy to blame comedy for something.
I agree.
There's a lot of people that are single
and work for FedEx.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
You know?
And then there's people that are happy singing.
I don't know.
Well, yeah, maybe there's also those people
that are like, I'm not gonna get into it.
I don't want to have a kid or ruin comedy.
And it's like, and then you wake up, you're 55 and you're like, oh fuck. Yeah, I always looked at it. And I actually changed gonna get into it. I don't wanna have a kid or ruin comedy. And it's like, and then you wake up, you're 55
and you're like, oh fuck.
Yeah, I always looked at it,
and I actually changed my thinking on it
because I always used to think like,
oh, you know, where are all these people doing in comedy
that don't make it, you know, which is,
and I still think that.
I still look a lot of people and I'm like,
well, what are you doing?
But I think that a lot of people,
whatever this is for them is intensely personal, you know?
Like, for me, I wanted to make it a career, but a lot of other people are just like, you know, this is something else for them is intensely personal. For me, I wanted to make it a career,
but a lot of other people are just like,
this is something else for them.
And you notice that.
And you're like, oh, I don't even know.
It's a religion, it's therapy, whatever it is.
And it's like, in my value system, I didn't want it to be that,
but it's like, you look at it and you're like,
well, it's not my business, whatever they're gonna do.
And I don't mean make it, we have to have whatever,
but like, there are people that are like 20 years in, and they're open mics,
and they're like, happy.
And like, it blows my fucking mind.
Blows my mind.
That's crazy.
But I also think a lot of people do comedy
just for the scene.
Sure.
For like, that's a fine thing.
That's a fine thing.
And the excuse to be drinking on the gossip
and away and saying, yeah, accept to it,
and being able to have a group of people
to talk shit and stuff. It have a group of people to talk shit
and stuff.
It's a way to not grow up.
Yeah.
It's a way to not grow up.
And I think it's a Peter Pan syndrome
to an extent where you're like,
oh, I could just have fun forever.
But, you know, I think that, um,
yeah, but that ends very abruptly.
When I'm on the road now, man,
I meet these guys on the road,
these older guys you're talking about,
these road dogs, and it's rough. Oh, yeah. Dude, I, I meet these guys on the road, these older guys you're talking about, these road dogs, and it's rough.

From like, and Ricky's like, dude,

It's wild man, it's a wild.
But no, like you see how people use it,

Well, people are crazy.
I did a thing where the feature was like a college guy,
and there's another role in this,

But he was like, he was one of those guys who was like

You know, and he's like, I wanna be a game show. This kid said to me, he's like, I want my goals to be a game show host.
And I'm like, okay, and then,
and I'm like, you realize that's a lot of celebrities

It's kind of tough to get, and he's like,
he's like, yeah, but he's like,
my college agent was telling me,
like, you got a pitch your own game show.
So he's like, I'm trying to think of a game show right now.
So we sat in the green room, and he was like,
you know, he's sitting there in his little notebook
trying to think of a game show.
To sell. And then he said to me, he's like, you know, he's sitting there and he's a little notebook trying to think of a game show.
To sell, and then he said to me,
he's like, you know, game shows are shot in Atlanta.
So I can, I live in Pittsburgh,
I could work three weeks in Atlanta.
That's how, that's when they shoot a game show.
It's just like, come on, not even.
And then you have the rest of the year to just do.
I'm like, well, I'm sure that's not true,
but I, I, you live in that world.
Yeah.
Like, I used to be the guy that would argue with everybody.
It's like, oh, you live in that world,
because I'm living in a world of like, I want to X, Y, Z.
And like, yeah, I think my world's more rational than his, but it is what it is.
Like, you live in that world and God bless you and good luck.
And whatever you want to do with the Pittsburgh, with the Game Show.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Cause it's like, at a certain, at a certain point, it's like, what am I gonna do?
Two years later, you're gonna see him on fucking TV,
be like, oh, watch, dog, kiss him.
Yeah, right, right.
I mean, and that's the thing, man, listen.
If Corinne and Christina came to me and said,
we wanna do a podcast, go guys, we fucked,
I go, don't do that, don't debase yourselves
as women, geek, you don't have to do that.
Talk about politics or something,
or you don't have to talk about fucking, just because you're, well, that would have been a big mistake, you don't have to do that. Talk about politics or something, or you don't have to talk about fucking,
just because you're, well, that would have been a big mistake,
you know?
Like, and again, it wouldn't have been like,
I wouldn't have neged their idea.
I just, to me, I would have been like,
because I'm not the audience for that show.
So it's like, and I'm not the audience for this guy's
game show that he's gonna fucking do.
So I just step back now and I just go,
oh, whatever people want to do. God bless him. Yeah now and I just go, oh whatever people want to, God bless him.
Yeah, but I can't listen to shit for too long.
I know, that's why I left the room, I was like,
all right, I just,
it's your great room, Bobby.
I call Bobby.
That's the show.
I call that guy talk, see how long he can talk
for people to leave the room.
I call Bobby and I'm like this fucking guy
and Bobby's like, fuck this guy, you gotta kill him.
There's too many of those people.
I'm like, I know.
I was walking around the ball and Albany.
I know, Bobby.
I used to work in that mall.
That's brutal.
That doesn't have funny bones now.
Yeah, you were from all, I didn't know.
I lived up there for a couple of years.
Did you go to school up there?
I lived up there the years.
I should have been going to school.
Okay.
And I just kind of, you joined that cult.
Yeah, I love it.
I was the beginning.
You worked in that mall.
You know the kid Malcolm, that's like a comedian, right?
Yeah, I don't know.
What's his deal?
Malcolm, it got big through Kiltoni.
That podcast.
Got big.
What do you mean big?
They do like, got big.
He's playing the beacon.
Yeah, he's huge.
He was a game show.
He's a sweet kid, but what do you mean he got big?
I mean, he got like, everyone knows him
because of Kiltoni in the LIC.
Oh, okay.
Because Kiltoni does like,
he's like a wicker.
He's the white guy who like, he like wraps.
Oh wait, we're talking about two different people.
I'm talking about the kid Malcolm Sills on Instagram.
Nope, who's like, y'all.
Malcolm, a comic can be like.
But you know the kid Malcolm on talking about,
he's like a nice kid.
Do I know who you're talking about?
What's his last name, do you know?
Malcolm Sills, he's like,
Instagram is like rapping and then he's like doing comedy,
but he's like, no, it's a C-I-L-O-L-S.
He's like, he's your friend, I think.
Are we friends?
I think you're friends with this kid.
The first picture that comes out.
Yeah, this is like, what is he?
He's like, literally my boyfriend.
Oh, I know Malcolm, yeah.
He's a sweet kid.
Oh, yeah.
He's like, you're friend.

He's he's young. Yeah, he does not work the seller, but he took a class or any
I forgot you knew Malcolm you sweet kid. He'll message me every now and then and I'll be like and this is the thing when younger people
Message you you probably get this you kind of like you know at a certain point you're like yeah, man
Just do whatever, you probably get this, you kind of like, you know, at a certain point, you're like, yeah, man, just do whatever, you know.
He's just starting out.
Yeah.
Tom's so happy.
Well, I don't think he rap.
I'm kidding around.
Why is that like such a thing?
Comics are on to.
So often.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't think he's rapping seriously, but a lot of people do it as like a joke.
He's like goofy character actor.
Yeah.
Like a lot of people do it as like a joke.
What do you think about that, Rick?
Do you, when people are like comic slash grapples?
It looks like a yeah.
I just, I mean, I love stand up.
I love stand up so much so like, I hate roast battle.
Right.
I think it's fucking terrible for the scene.
I don't think it's good.
I think we're bringing a bunch of people
into the fucking, into the scene to that, only do that.
Especially in LA, that shit is fucking gone.
Yeah, I think there's a point, there's a point to that.
I mean, it's yo mama, it's just different now.
Yeah.
But I just, I don't know, I like stand up,
I like watching stand up shows,
I like watching people that do stand up.
So like, a lot of this, like, a lot of these shows
that have like gimmicks or I just like, not.
So it takes a long time and you have to be very dedicated
to wrap to be a good rapper.
Yes.
So all these comics are like, yeah, I'm a rapper now,
but it's all this like A, B, A, B.
I didn't realize how many comics are wrapping.
It's happening.
It's happening.
There's a lot of people wrapping and they need to stop.
I need to stop.
I need to stop.
There's too many people. It's not Malcolm, Malcolm is a sweet kid, but there's days too many people wrapping and they need to stop. I need to stop. I need to stop. There's too many people.
It's not Malcolm.
Malcolm is a sweet kid.
But there's days too many people rapping.
Yeah, and it's like, you're not.
There's a place of magic in comedy it seems.
Yeah, it's a weird, I don't know.
I just, I just, I grew rickety like, you know,
I really appreciate when somebody gets up there
and they're funny.
And they're just always trying to find something new.
Like, yeah, it's just, it's like striping for something new.
Like how far can I spread comedy?
I have no problem. I don't know. Just comedy is such a weird fucking place man. Yeah, I know. I watch somebody I'm not gonna say who or where but they got on stage and it was slam
Show now this person would come after me too, so it's just annoying
But she's out on stage and she's going
No, this person would come after me too, so it's just annoying. But she's out on stage and she's going,
uh, Kavanaugh has a job and the fucking crowd just starts cheering.
I was like, there was, there was, there was, that's easy.
What the fuck are we doing here?
Like, if, like, get on the campaign trail,
if you get a fucking like this.
I'm 100%.
I'm so tired.
We're just making it.
I'm so tired of these forced claps, dude.
And it happens left and right and stand up now.
It's fucking, the victim mentality and stand up is so fucking whack.
It's like everybody is a victim.
Everybody has had something happen to them.
And it's like, yeah, that's life.
You're an adult.
Shouldy things happen.
Get over it and fucking make a joke out of it.
Like you're about to say, like, make it funny.
I just make it funny.
No problem with political stuff.
Yeah, just like a funny joke right now about how my dad used to beat the shit out of me
and my brothers.
Right.
And it's fucking murdering.
And that's the best thing I could have done with that.
That's the best thing I could have done with that.
Yeah.
Right.
I did a show with a comic who just spent half of their set telling a five minute story
about sitting next to some
Republican Senator on a plane.
And that was the whole story.
They're just like, isn't this person bad?
And half the crowd was like, we don't know who that is.
The Irish appeared to the script meeting the other day
and I was sitting on stage.
I was reading one of the roles
and I was up there with a towel and soda
and Michelle Wolfe and people like that.
And I'm like, we were being funny
and I was trying to be funny because I'm like, I care what these people think of me.
I care what David Tell thinks of me.
I wanna be funny.
And I'm like, are we the last generation of comics
that gives a shit about what RL does?
About what being funny is.
You know what I mean?
Just the idea of let's be respected by people
who are iconic or, you know,
it's very least professional people that are looked at
as, you know, David, tell it to me,
he's like a guy who's, he's very, you know,
like a living legend type of guy where you're like,
this guy, you know, so you wanna be funny
in front of somebody like that, but I think you're a people,
they're comics, not all of them,
I don't wanna brand the whole group of you,
but they're comments that are coming up now
that could give a fuck less.
They just wanna burn everything down.
Yeah.
And they're like, fuck the old guard, fuck anybody, they old suck, and they're all whatever
problematic and race it and all that, and fuck them all.
And it's crazy to hear that, because to me, I'm like, I don't know, you know, I look at
the people that are great, and you know, you wanted their respect.
Yeah. I mean, wasn't it just like you saw the cool guys and you know, you wanted their respect. Yeah.
I mean, wasn't it just like you saw the cool guys
and you're like, how do I end up being one of those guys?
Yeah.
That's as simple as it was for me.
Like I was like, oh, I just saw,
I remember the first time I saw a Greer Barnes.
I remember the first time I saw it.
I was like, what the fuck did this man just do to this room?
Somebody else that did it in front of me was like Kyle grooms.
That was one of the first guys I saw ripped down a room and I was like, oh, that's what I need to be room. Somebody else that did in front of me was like Kyle grooms. That was one of the first guys I saw.
Ripped down a room and I was like,
oh, that's what I need to be doing.
That's what I need to figure out.
I need to be around these guys to be any good.
And no, there's none of that anymore.
You just gotta start a show that, you know,
once your kids in fucking quarter of a show up too.
Yeah.
I think that's a percentage.
I mean, I'm pretty new and I'm still
I'm like obsessed with portrays and Bobby and everyone. Like, yeah, well, we think that's a percentage. I mean, I'm pretty new and I'm still I'm like obsessed with
portrays and Bobby and everyone like, yeah, well, we still look at the legends. That's not everybody.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, there's the I would say what what the industry listens to and what
the industry would take care of is new and creative, I guess what they're looking for. But in reality, it's just washing down and like watering like comedy.
Like it's just, it's not, it's not doing anything for the shows.
Yeah.
It's really incredible to see how many people like pump themselves up on the internet.
And then when you go to see their show, you're like, that's, that's,
this week, those, those, those people, like I know, a good amount of those people that like like do stand up and seem to hate the idea of stand up
And it's great like those people don't want to do stand up
They want to be a famous person right and they're they like okay, well I can try to get in through the back door through doing stand up
But they don't like it and they don't know it and it's it's it's annoying
It's cynical. It's a cynical and a lot of these people
That go out there and just attack all day.
They attack, they're on Twitter, they attack,
and you know, you gotta look at these people and go,
how many times have I seen them do something funny?
How many times have they made me laugh?
How many times have they actually done something
unique and original?
How many times have they told a story
about something I didn't hear before
or in a way I didn't hear it before? How many sketches have I seen that they've written or directed? How many
funny jokes have they posted that I've related to? How many web series? How many podcasts? How many
anything? How many fucking conversation have they been funny and in a green room? Legitimate,
you know what I mean? I've had a conversation where we give you less. In green rooms that are
funnier than people's acts that are getting, you know what I mean? So it had a conversation where we give you less in green rooms that are funnier than people's acts Mm-hmm dead are getting you know what I mean. So it's like to me. It's like I always look at like who's flick?
Are you being funny anywhere? I'm also here, but yeah, can we?
It's very funny. I like Brandon too
With a best boy I know I know the conversation he's talking about and it was about Alan fuck
But it's like it's it's um, you know, it's just be funny man. That's all be funny. We're gonna wrap it up I think just be funny as the it's exhausting to be anything else
That's the other people that are on Facebook all the time or Twitter all the time
I'm like how do you any time I have any time to just relax?
I'm just fucking I'm jerking off I'm playing video games. I'm not on I was
Facebook yeah for the festival I host in New York's funniest because I
There was a girl on the show that she's had her fair share of like internet bullshit
with comedians and attacking and she's been attacked and whatever.
And it was so funny because she started telling me about how they picked the winner of the
show.
I was like, oh, it's a point system that she's like, no, it's not.
It's like this. And I was like, oh, it's a point system. That she's like, no, it's not. It's like this.
And I was like, oh, okay, you just know everything.
That's right.
You got this, never mind.
What I even try to even put my two cents on something I know.
Yeah, and people are so focused on the winning
and the getting of the this.
It's like the journey and the funny and figuring out
how to be funny is like really the whole thing.
Yeah. You know, because once you do something good and it comes out, whether it's
special or whatever, you take a breath and then you have to go right back to
creating again. So if you're really not in love with that process of creating,
you're just gonna, it's over. If you don't fall in love with it and sometimes
listen, people can fall out of love with it, but you got to fall back in love
of creating because you can market yourself to death. But the reality is that's
not the fun and joy.
When this kid features me, he goes,
I like to business accommodate more than comedy.
As soon as somebody says that to me, fuck you.
You're done.
You should be an agent then.
You know what I mean?
And be a fucking agent in Pittsburgh.
Tell me how that works out.
Go represent a minor.
I see a minor.
No, no, no, no.
Like that whole thing to me is like, no, no, no, man, I got in this because I love making people laugh.
And the business of it is a necessary part of it.
But if you like that more than fucking comedy, mean you will never have anything to talk about.
Yeah.
Because then you're not funny and who the fuck wants to spend time with that, you know?
I bet Ricky's uncle, his purple uncle is funny other than you.
All right, guys, let's enjoy your Thanksgiving or whatever.
And Bobby will be back. Thanks for having me.
I thought part of a Tim Dylan seminar when you go see him and this is my seminar. You just have
That's a funny class. Thanks giving New York City socks and a good game show. And a good seminar. And a good five minutes on comedy.
