We got the creator of Goddamn Comedy Channel Josh Adam Myers.
Me.
It's what I'm telling you.
Like this has been something that I've wanted to for years.
Really?
Oh my God.
I've loved you since when we really met.
I've started off the way I did.
When we met, which was I really met at JFL,
where you played the drums, which we knew
doing the TV show, and you did ACDC,
or the wig, and that was the first time.
But also keep this in mind, dude.
As a comedy fan, I saw you bus J. Davis's balls
on tourgasm, and I saw you bus J Davis's balls on tourgasm and I loved you because I was
like, you know, J was kind of like a little, little Scoodle, you know what I mean?
You know, like a little Scoodle, do a little Scoodle, do a little Scoodle, do a little
thing.
You know, nothing like against J, but it's just like you were being a dude.
You were being a good, okay, you said it.
I didn't want to do it.
I didn't know your relationship.
He's gone full Q and on, dude.
Listen, dude, J, I'm done with the f*** days.
I'm too old to worry about.
I'm dead cat Williams in this thing.
Yes.
Bring up a name.
Come on, bring it up.
Uh, let's do, oh my God.
Go big Keith Robinson.
That dirty old b****.
Bees a s***. I knew that would be safe. I'm glad he had two strokes
I hope he has another one right before a special comes out. Go ahead who's next?
Let's do
Let's do what goes close on the show Gary Goldman Gary Goldman
I love Gary. Yeah, he's a great guy. I love Gary
I'll close for you. I will wait. Well, how close you been to quitting the show? Because it's not in the intro.
It's like, I felt the same shit with the goddamn comedy,
but not gonna come and show them with the 500,
where there were so many moments where it's like, this is it.
Well, tell people about the 500, what that is.
It's a podcast I've been doing.
I mean, I'm halfway through it.
I'm going through Rolling Stone magazine's list
of the 500 greatest albums.
We started October 31st, 2018, sold it to Spotify.
They paid me an absurd amount of money for a year,
which got me through the pandemic,
and then they did the Rogan deal,
and he took all the money, and so they dropped my show.
But they gave me the rights, and they gave me all my stuff.
So they didn't really buy it, they just licensed it,
and now we've just been rebuilding it.
I would have changed that show to the 38.
What a great, as soon as that money dried up.
I know, did.
The old 52 of 500.
Oh, dude.
I was this close, like I was literally like a puberty carer.
I'm so dude dude because, no, it's topical.
You have to have a guest that's good.
Sure.
You have to have like somebody who's kind of famous as you, right?
Sure, yeah. You can't just have some dude off the street, your uncle.
I've had dudes off the street and those are great.
It's just because sometimes dude, you get to a place where it's like, I don't know who
to book for whoever like the incredible sound of Soweto, which is he's like African tribesmen.
They were the Paul Simon backing band in Graceland.
And then like, I'm looking at the list.
I have no idea who to book.
I luckily have a booker, this girl Emily Kagan, who is a celebrity booker, and she's gotten
us like, I mean, it's great.
Well, this show, look, I look at this show.
My show has been a kind of like comedy boot camp for podcasting and comedy standup boot
camp.
You know, like, if you go back, it was me and Joe Derozo,
then it was Dan Soda was like our little guy and then Joe
list and then, and then, dude, Lewis and Nate and Yannis and,
you know, all these people came on and then you go into the
other one. That, you know, so many other people after that,
you got, you know, D-Poo and,
D-Dit, Chris Scopo,
and then you go into these guys,
you got Mike Suarez and Danny Braf and Joe Russell
and Max Marcus and even Gabby,
and then you got the comics that come on.
From, I mean, we had Shane on here's first time,
he was just like, chew and spit, I was hit him with a fat, you know, I mean, if I mean we had Shane on here his first time, he was just like,
Chiu and Spitta, most hit him with a fat, you know what I mean?
So I didn't realize that many people got even everybody.
This was, this podcast has been around for a long time.
The thing is with me, it's just like I'm doing so much now.
And it's like, you know, I should make you ready.
Try really.
And what is that?
Oh, you got a nose rig.
I got my nose ring.
Oh, you made me really think I have a bulgar.
Now I'm going to be a self-conscious whole time.
You know what, can I tell you something?
My wife got a nose ring once.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, no, she took it off.
I made her.
Why?
I didn't want to hold on my wife's nose.
But maybe it made her feel sexy.
You know, it made her feel sexy?
I told her to get it out of your nose.
I thought you were going to say something,
but you were going to go for super dirty. No. I'm fucking, I get it out of your nose. You know, super dirty. No, I fucking jam my
hand. Oh, that's big. No, this was this was trust me. I understand that it's like, I
got it done and I went to LA to do the jam and a bunch of my band and my buddy Morty. He's
like, you know, he's like, man, getting that done at 44. And I'm like, yeah, it's just, I did,
I did Madison Square Garden with Burr.
It was the greatest set of my life.
The next day I was walking the dog
around Union Square and I just saw the place
and I was like, it's on brand for me.
What?
The nose ring.
Oh, this, you talk about that.
Oh, I thought you talked about the,
yeah, I don't know when we went with that. I don't know. I really took, we went side track. Look, no, the nose ring looks Oh, this. You talk about that. Oh, I thought you were talking about the... I don't know where we went with that.
I don't know.
I really took me with sidetrack.
Look, no, the nose ring looks fine.
It looks fine.
I'm not on my wife, though.
And she had a toe ring.
I better get rid of that toe.
Why?
These are things that probably make her feel sexy.
You're supposed to encourage that.
You know what makes her feel sexy?
I'm in a husband-of-
Dead pays for shit.
Nice.
So I'm kidding.
No, I mean, ten, no. I'm kidding. Of course, you can do whatever she wants. I don't give a shit. Nice. So I'm kidding. No, I mean, I'm kidding.
Of course, you can do whatever she wants.
I don't give a shit.
And my wife would tell me to go for myself.
But also, dude, you, you know, dude, you used to wear
overalls with no shirt.
I was hot.
Yeah, but that's, that's the equivalent of,
nose ring on your nose.
I'm kidding about that.
My wife, the only thing I made her get rid of really the nose ring,
have it, I don't give a shit.
I'm just joking, literally kidding around. The only thing I did make her get rid of really the nose ring, have it, I don't give a shit, I'm just joking,
literally kidding around.
The only thing I did make her get rid of
is that she had a mole right here.
I was like, get that off,
where I'll throw up on your face.
Do it.
Yeah, that's what I did.
But I don't know if there's people that you see
that have like skin tags and grows.
My grandmother had like 25 skin tags on her neck, huh?
Tiant?
No, Jewish.
Oh really?
But still it's like, when you get rid of that? That's why there was a difference between Jews. I think Jews skin tags under neck or not. Tion? No, Jewish. Oh really? But still it's like,
wouldn't you get rid of that?
That's why there was a difference between Jews.
I think Jews skin tags and I went,
Italian, like they're gonna be good at Jewish,
so I'm really, no, no, no, no, no, no,
those have gypsy blood in them.
Those cast spells, dude.
I pulled them off and throws in that people
that she doesn't like.
As you got an older,
have you started getting like,
I have this, it's like my dad used to get them,
these like, I used to call them cherryolas.
They're like little red dots.
It's not a pimple, it's not a mole, but it's a dot.
Yep.
And I don't get, I haven't got them,
but I know, I know, I know people have gotten them.
Yeah.
It's when you get older, just stuff start happening.
You know, when I was heavy heavy,
you know what I got a lot of, skin tags.
You did get skin tags.
I got skin tags and I had to go get them removed.
Like, when the fall came, I mean, those spring,
the spring was like, all right, let's get the backyard going
and get my skin tags off.
So my wife doesn't dump me when we're at the beach.
But as I lost the weight, they all went away.
Like, buddy, it's weird, it was a heavy person thing.
I didn't know.
Really?
I think it was just my body pushing oils out
into my neck and arms.
It's all the calcium build up, needed to fucking.
And then it just went, you had to.
It's gone, that's crazy.
Buddy, I had to go to the dermatologist once a year
and have him get up. And he'd be like, well, we can leave this, I had to go to the dermatologist once a year and have him get up.
And he'd be like, well, we can leave this, I get him off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but with this one moving.
Yeah, it all.
I'll fucking tie it off with dental floss and kill it.
That's what I was gonna say is like,
you could do, that's what I did in my hemorrhoids.
I'm sorry.
I'm jumping the gun, I'm jumping the gun.
Give me one second.
We're saying one second.
Guys, he just said I did that with my hemorrhage.
I did it.
I did it.
The doctor did it.
Okay, you didn't do it.
Yeah, I mean, oh, thank God.
I thought you did something.
It's the same thing.
Talk home, right?
You get a coat hanger, you heat it up on the stove.
You burn your hemorrhage.
Like you mean just me and the mirror, like,
like, between the legs.
Oh, God, dude.
You get a hot piece of metal.
Silly little man.
Have you ever gone to like, what kind of doctors that?
It's a proctologist.
Yeah.
Have you been?
So I got health insurance.
I hadn't had it for years and I was like, fuck him in.
Like something's wrong with my butt.
Why?
It was putting stuff in it.
But I just started doing that and it's fun.
There's nothing better.
That I've got a finger.
Oh, man, itching your ass off.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think there's any better feeling I've had.
Like, it's up there with coming for the first time
with the first person.
Like, like that first,
ugh.
Oh, God.
I've itching your asshole.
Oh, with a, when you have like a little,
not crazy red, but just that first scratch,
if the fingernails like not too long and not too,
I mean, we're gonna get demonetized right out of the gate.
It's fine.
It's fine.
Let me ask you a question.
Yeah, go ahead.
Because you said, I remember when we first,
you came out one time and on the the road there was a time where like
Like I had a real problem with like feature people, you know feature acts
Because it was always you know like when I came up I was so respectful of the headliner and I was you know
It was just a different thing and then when I came up I was like, you know, it was just a different thing. And then when I came up, I was like, you know,
feature acts are always fucking what kind of like,
just, it was all about them.
They, you know, they don't give a fuck about you.
They didn't care about, but I remember when I met you,
you came and featured for me in San Diego.
And you came out, because I wanted to smoke a cigar with you,
I drove all the way.
But I was so, I gotta kind of apologize.
Why?
I was so apprehensive or like, what, like you came out, but I was so, I gotta kind of apologize. Why? I was so apprehensive or like,
like you came out and I'm from Boston.
Sure.
So dude, I came out and wanted to be on the show
and wanted to smoke cigars and I was like,
what are you, I'm like, fuck you doing.
Oh, you thought it was like, there was like,
I don't know, I didn't know what it was,
but I was like, all right.
You know what I mean?
I'm not, I'm so paranoid. You know, so funny, because I didn't feel that was, but I was like, all right. You know what I mean? I'm not, I'm so paranoid.
You know, so funny, because I didn't feel that at all.
I was like, because it was me, because it was me,
Billy Bondnell, who was Billy, Billy was,
that he was supposed to feature.
And then I drove down, and I think I had just been down there
two, like two days before, and I knew I was gonna drive down,
do the show, and go back.
I brought the dog.
I brought you dog.
I brought Leica. Yeah. And show, and go back. I brought the dog. You brought your dog? I brought Leica.
Yeah.
And then, and then I get there, Billy was cool enough
to go, how about this?
He's like, all host, you feature tonight
because you're doing tonight.
Right.
And it was, I think it wasn't even,
it wasn't even to do the set, I was coming down
because I just wanted to be your friend.
Yeah, that was, that's what threw me off.
Like that was like,
because I'm so, I'm so gun shy of LA people of that,
it's aggressive friendliness.
You know what I mean?
Like Boston, you got to, what's up?
How you doing?
Good, good.
There's like little, there's things you have to do
to where you, you know, all right, this guy's legit.
Oh, this is cool. And it takes a couple, you know, all right, this guy's legit. Oh, this is cool.
And it takes a couple, you know,
not that it can't happen quickly, but there's certain things.
You guys have like a tough,
the New York people have a tough exterior.
You guys are like, it says you can't just be like,
oh, this is just somebody being nice.
It's like you have like, who sent you?
Yeah.
Always like, who the fuck sent you?
And it's no, I'm just, that is the exact, like when you showed up, you're like, sent you yeah always like who? Yeah, you and I know I'm just that is the exact like when you showed up like what's up my dog?
Fuck yeah, I want to skip it in me that like I am I'm like who the fuck set you down here
You know what it was J. David said you know it was a day. Look said you're gonna get information out of me
He it was it was because like I'm friends with Bill right old talks about you
And it's like those things like I did little brace if you know you can watch out for him.
But you know, what a guy.
Doodie, doodie.
We had this whole thing about it
because now you're in shape, in shape, Bobby.
Like, you'll be careful about in shape, Bobby.
In shape, Bobby, man.
You can't trust him.
But Bill, to talk about you,
and it was one of those things where it was like,
we did the jam in Montreal.
And it's not just, it's just respecting you.
And it's like, I look at the comics that,
you know, that were either before me,
the ones that I look up to.
And you were one of those guys that was just cool.
I was just talking about the jam in Montreal.
Today on the bonfire,
because I remember you let me play the drums,
which was great, because I don't really sing.
And I'm not a singer.
I've always wanted to sing,
but it's a difference between letting you,
once the thing comes, it's just way different.
You don't have confidence.
Well, it's not that.
It says you've got to let go of something inside of you
that it's hard to let go of.
And then, but drumming, I was like,
I can do AC, DC, right?
And then I remember at the end, I threw my drumsticks out into the crowd and it hit a chicken
ahead. Do you remember that? And then she just handed me my drumsticks after the show.
And I think, no, you can keep them. She's like, I don't want them. You hit me in the face
with the drumstick, you dumb American. That's the most non-rock and roll shit in the world.
Somebody, the thing you throw back makes its way back to you. Yeah.
You know what I mean? So here's that pic you threw out. Yeah.
Um, but you were, you were like, because you were doing that show at the time where you
were, you were playing a drummer, right? So it just, it all made sense. I would
luck. You sang with, with Big J. Well, we should get into that.
We really need to talk about it.
Because I feel like, can we talk about that really
for realsies?
I will, I'll never say that.
I want to defend myself.
Well, I want you to get off the defense.
I don't want you to stand on a defensive thing.
I want you to stand on a neutral ground with me.
All right.
So we can talk about it.
Okay, let's do it.
Because you have a relationship with Big J
that is something that I, you know, we don't have. You have a relationship with Big J that is something that I, you know, we don't have.
You have a thing with Big J. He's, you know, you've, it's the thing you've had over years.
You built this friendship up with Big J and like, I have my own thing with Big J.
And all of a sudden, here I am, I'm on bonfire. Like, I'm part of Big, I'm out of nowhere part of
Big J's life. Well, no, we,, no, it was when we did the nasty show
because that was really what brought you guys together
because I remember I would be with Jay on the nights,
we'd all be hanging out, we'd do the shows
and meet him, we'll go back and get high.
And do time-by-time.
And that's where, and then he would say,
he would say, so my God, it's like Bobby,
I just forget how funny Bobby is, like, he just gets it.
And he was very complimented about your vibe
and the comedy, obviously,
because he'd already respected you, of course,
but it was like, I think just reminding him
of what kind of chemistry you guys had, because you did.
We had a chemistry at the beginning that was great,
and then he went and became, he had to go do his thing.
I went into my thing.
We kind of separated for a while.
And then you're right on that weekend, that nasty show.
It was this weekend, it was 10 days.
Do we were together?
Do we were together a lot?
You were together the whole time.
Me and him and you were in his room and we had a lot of fun
that weekend, restaurant and all that.
And that people don't know, you know, he asked me out of the blue.
I don't know.
Were you there?
No, I don't think so, but I, but I knew he said to me, he goes like this, he goes, hey,
dude, will you ever do the bonfire with me?
And I went, I mean, thinking of course, right?
I was like, yeah, dude, I'll fuck it.
I'll do whatever with you. Let's do it. Let's do whatever you got. I'll fucking, I go, of course, right? I was like, yeah, dude, I'll fuck it. I'll do whatever with you.
Let's do it.
Let's do whatever you got.
I'll fucking, I go out of the dude.
I'll fucking shoot pigeons and I'll fucking pawn with you.
I'm gonna shit.
You know what I mean?
Cause me and Jay get along.
We have the same silliness.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, it's dude, it's palpable.
Like, especially being on the show, it's different than what him and Soder did,
but it's like, but it's almost like,
what they did was almost too much for,
you'd have a guest on and there was no way
you could even get anything in between Dan and Jay.
With you, it actually feels like a radio show
when you're getting to know people and you can actually talk
and you don't have to be a fucking, you know,
a golden level improv person to be able to be a part of it.
Yeah, well, I mean, you're still funny,
but that's the thing,
is that you're still in personalities
and all that you're coming out.
Yeah, we have these, it's a different show in that respect.
It is, I think an easier show to be on, you know what I mean?
I would totally agree with that.
And what they did was magic and they had it.
But when he asked me to do that, I was like,
okay, yeah, and I didn't think,
I really, because I love Dan and him together, right?
So I was just like, yeah, whatever, dude.
And then we went away and then it became,
it became a, it started to become a, like a thing.
And I was like, I remember I told my wife,
I go, big J's asking me to do this.
Like, and I talked to Dan and Dan is like out.
I was like, I don't think that they're gonna do that.
I think they're gonna,
I think maybe they're negotiating,
cause Owen A used to do that shit, you know?
I don't know, maybe we won't, you know?
Yeah.
But I was like, I was hoping they would patch it up
because I love both of them. It's a great together, you know? But I was hoping they would patch it up because I love both of them.
It's a great together, right?
I knew they are, but I knew just because Jay had told me,
it was like in the works for years.
We're Dan with you saying,
I don't wanna keep doing this.
And which blows my mind because you're like,
it's you get to hang out with your buddy
four days a week for what eight hours,
just making up jokes
and having fun and making fun of Corey Feldman.
I mean, that fucking rules.
That rules.
But when he said you, and he mentioned that he was like,
that he was gonna, because he was like,
I'm not saying he was like,
I think he was fishing around between gross and me.
He was, but he was, he had me host a couple times.
He had Justin Silver and it was all people.
But when he said it was gonna be you, for me, out of everybody, I was like, he was, he had me host a couple times, he had Justin Silver and it was all people, but when he said it was gonna be you,
for me, out of everybody, I was like,
oh yeah, that actually makes the most amount of sense.
Right.
It really did, because I mean, Derozo had been great,
but it's like, it's just, Derozo's just, Derozo.
Yeah, they would have ended in four months.
Yes.
And you fucking, and you,
but you fucking, it just made sense.
And like I said, seeing you guys together at
The nasty show it I knew it was gonna happen. Yeah, we we can hang we hang well together with the same hang yeah and
But we we do like different shit like he you know, he loves he's he's into porn the way I was into porn
20 years ago you're not into porn now. Not I'm into my kid
I'm into my wife. I'm in my kid porn. I like watching my kid shower
So wrong. Yeah, I would say so weird who I'm not as big as wait was. You're not in a porn anymore. I'm not in my kids.
No way.
I'm in the kids.
Wait a minute, what's happening?
No.
People I know that Bobby Kelly's on the Epstein list.
He's like the third name on there.
It's our Kelly.
Never did it.
It was me.
It was you.
No, I just, I like, I'm fond like today.
My kid went to school, my wife went out all of a sudden.
I'm like, all right, maybe I'll do some porn and whack off.
And then I was like, ah, my kid wound up calling.
I was like, I'm out.
I'm done.
I don't really feel you doing it.
I got shit to do.
It's like I would have done that 15 years ago.
You know what I mean?
I was a piece of shit.
And I like, in a good way, I'm not saying it a bad way.
I don't think jerking off is making you a piece of shit.
I think it's more just like, it's like, it's like,
it's like a energy clear to say.
In a good way, it was like, I love banging,
I love doing, I loved it all, like banging porn.
I was into all of it.
It's just, it went away a little bit. So like, I'm not so much into it, but I'm I was into all of it. It's just I it's my it went away a little
bit. So like I'm not so much into it, but I'm not so much not into it. You know what I mean?
So the you are our you're memory yourself. Yeah. I can I can you talk about the chemistry with
you and your own day. No, me and Jay. Okay. But we can we can vibe on that more so than what
it was. You know, Dan was you know, Dan's's, you know, I'm gonna go for the other. Yeah, so I think, but what happened was,
so when it all came down and it happened,
I'm in my head, I'm like, all right,
this is gonna suck in some ways, you know,
because I'm stepping in and, you know, so beloved.
Yeah, I mean, and Jay's gonna get any shit.
Oh, you do, first of all, get any shit. Oh, you do.
First of all, and I don't know if you've gone on.
Nope, the, never would.
Never would.
Never would.
Dude, it doesn't make a difference
unless you're Shane Gillis.
Shane, I think Shane is the only person
that doesn't get shit on,
that went onto the bonfire.
Everybody.
And there'll be episodes.
I don't do, there would be episodes where, don't do it. There would be episodes where,
well, I get shit all regardless just because I sing.
And I talk in my weird language,
and but I've also got the point where I'm fine with that.
Skibbididoodle.
I do, my tour is called,
Josh Adamire, Skidoodle's America.
Skidoodle's.
Skidoodle, I don't know what it means,
but you know exactly what it means.
So, but this is the thing, is that like,
is that like, I would do these great episodes
of the bonfire, and then I would go,
oh, let me go and see if they liked this one.
I liked it.
And it's like, oh dude, I've gotten to,
I think it was, one of the last times I did it
when Soda was on, I actually,
people were talking shit and I started like,
pushing back.
Really?
And I said something like,
come say that in my face. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no It's like trigger. He's like, he's a fucking idiot. Here's a thing.
That's why on the Christmas show this year,
I was like, we have to give the trolls
or the Reddit people that hate.
That's great.
We have to give a little, we gotta give them a little present
because they put a lot of effort in the mean things
they say about me or whoever, you know.
I don't wanna look, but I gotta give them a little,
I gotta let them have a little.
Sure, you know, it's such a great bit.
Yeah, and to have the rosa of all people do it.
That was great.
You know, it was so fucking hurtful.
He's a human, he's a human troll.
He's a, he's, he looks like a guy.
He's the guy that,
he's a body posture of somebody that lives under a bridge.
He's the guy that is contrarian of,
if something's good, he hates it.
If the band is good, he hates it.
And it's like, you can,
but if it's the band is like,
people are like, only one person likes him.
He's the biggest fan and knows everything about it.
Or unless it's like old school hip hop.
Yeah.
And I love that about him, but, you know.
That's why you loved it.
I mean, Durosa's the best because you loved to hate him.
I just, I will argue with the, I mean,
when my phone rings in at D'Rosa,
I know it's certain times.
If it's before 11 o'clock,
he's on the phone with Keith or somebody
and he's attacking me about something I wore or said or did.
And I'm like, eh, but if it's after 11,
I know he needs a job.
Can I ask you a, though. I want to
not change this up to you. You said
that we about you wore have you since you
started doing the bonfire started kind of
dressing a little bit. I feel like you're
like maybe it's just affecting you lost
weight. Maybe it's the fact that you lost
weight and you're not wearing like long t-shirts
anymore. Yeah. What? But but you're stylish.
You're stylish. It's because I lost way.
Yeah, it's because you lost way because I don't when I was fat, I had to wear the,
the fucking button down shirt and the T shirt, the big, big T shirt with the
fucking whatever shirt.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What I know, I just, it was, it was very limited.
You know what I mean?
And since I lost weight, I, but I've always done that, dude, I always get, I always get,
I always turn gay when I get thin. Oh, God. I always get, I always turn gay when I get thin.
Oh, God.
I always just, I love it.
I love it.
I love the style.
I've been, your shoes got cooler, everything.
Maybe it's just you're making more money
and now you're buying brand.
No, not even a little satchel.
I got my bags.
Yeah, dude.
It's awesome.
I'm a sling guy.
You're a fun guy.
There's another road. Yeah, the bad, the dude. Oh, they said dude. You're a fun guy. There's nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, the bad, the dude.
Oh, they said dude.
I'm a track back girl.
There.
Look at me, both of the, the, the, and the bags.
It's always there.
But I want you to back to that because what happened was
I took over the bonfire and I'll be honest with you, Josh.
What?
When I took, relax.
When I mean, when I took, and we were in Moon Tower,
which was my first, listen, it was my first thing.
Like I, my first, I never been with Jay
at a festival under the banner of Bonfire, right?
Yeah.
So I'm just laughing.
You have, laughing at what's coming.
I'm laughing at what's coming.
Because you have, never intended to go. Yeah,. I got. I don't you bury the lead. I got good. Good. When we were in Montreal,
it was, I was me. You were you. J was bonfire. Right. When we were anywhere we were, even
when we were in, you know, when I did, you were doing the thing I was doing my thing.
But when we did that, that was the first
where I was kind of hanging out with Jay,
we were going up at, because Dan and him always did it.
Oh yeah, every year.
And it was a thing.
So I was like, all right, it was forced.
Like, we gotta do this.
And I was like, all right, I'll do it.
I don't wanna do the comedy jam
because that's what you guys did.
Yeah, but Sodor never did it.
Sodor would do it, but he would do it.
He only did it.
He didn't count on a hand.
I think he might have done it three times.
And he didn't know that.
He didn't know it.
And, but anyways, he's like, we get outfits and all that.
I was like, all right, so we went and we bought outfits
and Anton's and we were were, what was it called?
The Alan's boots.
Alan's boots, we went up, I bought a fucking cowboy hat,
scarf, so I'm just following Jay.
And then we're like, what song?
And it's like, all right, we're gonna think,
I wanted to sing this song.
He wanted to say, I was saying,
and I'm going to you because I've seen you do your thing.
I'm like, all right, and you really, when you get into that thing, when you're in that,
when you're in comedy jam mode, it's not, it's, you're the guy.
You know what I mean? That's your thing.
Yeah. I don't fuck around with that.
I don't even get in that.
It's not my thing. You know, if it's a standup show, I'm in just with you.
But that thing. So I'm kind of like, all right, cool.
And then when we got us, when we're, all right, I'm in just with you. But that thing, so I'm kinda like, all right, cool. And then when we got us,
when we're all right, I'm nervous, I'm insecure.
I'm not in my element, I'm not in my element, Donnie, right?
Yeah.
And I'm wearing a hat and a scarf.
Yeah, you had a fucking gay scarf
tied around your neck like Donnots.
Yeah, donnie.
Oh, look.
And I'm like, right, we're singing this song from Bon Jovi.
I'm gonna go give it, I'm gonna fucking fuck it.
If this is what they did, I'm gonna be a, I'm gonna do this.
And then we get up there and I'm like,
and you know, to not, when I go on stage,
I gotta have my ego, you know what I mean?
So when I'm going on stage to do comedy, what's up?
I'm fucking, I'm the guy.
You're the man, you're the man.
I'm the man.
This is your, like this is your thing.
I'm not the guy, this is not my element.
True.
So I'm like a little like, okay, and then, you know,
this is the, you said the Godfather of comedy.
I said the Godfather of comedy.
I said the Godfather comedy jammed New York, not of comedy in New York.
Okay.
Now can I step in and,
definitely,
because where this is going,
and I think a lot of people, you know, probably know,
because it's one, thank God I did it,
because it's so funny.
It's so funny.
For the,
here's why we're the best. Yeah.
Because we immediately talked about it.
I mean, this is why comics are the best.
We'll immediately talk about these things, these situations that in anybody else's world,
that's why you listen to these things.
Yeah.
Because we'll immediately bring it to everybody's attention of what happened.
When other people in the world will go home and go, you know what happened?
And as we're like, oh, that's sad.
Well, let it go.
And then they'll bury it.
And then it'll come out of the party.
You fucker, you never fucker.
You know what I mean?
We get it out right away.
You, here's a deal.
Is that, is that one, I think that night,
let's say I'm high, because that's the only,
until the only shows that I can confidently get high
and do the jam, is that Moon Tower because moon tower is is a party right and that's and there's any place I mean besides skankfest
Yeah
Moon tower is probably the the way the one place that the jam is fully appreciated
What it is we've doing it god damn like I think sorry seven-eighth year now
and So I was doing the intro and I wasn't, it got, you guys started walking on stage
before I could give you the intro. What I should have done was introduce you first.
You get about what you should have done. How do you do?
So I forget about what you should have done. Because we don't have a time machine.
We don't have a time machine. We don't have a time machine.
It's so great.
It's so great.
I want you to do it the way you did it.
I, I, so, I, so I, so I'll do it,
but I'm gonna have to stop be,
we've to explain when I switch to the next thing.
Okay.
So you do me a favor.
Yeah.
Can you just do it the way you did it
and then go back and explain?
Okay.
Because I think it will be,
and I'll do my face. Ready? Go ahead. Okay. All right. All right. Ladies and gentlemen,
to close this out is someone that is so important to this show. He is the Godfather of the God
damn comedy jam in New York City. He closes out every show. He's the King of Crowd work. One of the funniest human beings
alive. My best friend, my blood brother, the love of my life with a penis. Ladies and gentlemen,
one of the greatest comedians alive. Big J. Ocarusin and Bobby Kelly.
No, I didn't do it like that.
It wasn't like, because you started walking up,
you started walking up as we were doing it,
I was gonna go and coming up next to join him,
the new co-host of the Bonfire,
one of the greatest comics alive.
Okay, okay, the timing of it,
it should have gone you first.
The timing of it might have been fucked up.
We didn't rehearse us coming up.
It should have been, it should have been,
we should have rehearsed that.
But do you understand, you went,
and Bobby Kelly, oh, great though.
That's exactly what I heard.
Yeah, it was, that's what I heard.
And I went like this. I went
And I and I it's one of those things that like one I should have done you first. Yeah,
but I but I wanted to bear I but I buried the lead because I did I did J first to give and you know
It's like he's the guy that closed out every show every show
Which is gonna suck this year that you guys aren't gonna be there. That bombs me out.
I get the idea that it's like,
he's not into festivals and maybe they didn't match his number,
but it's like, dude, we all get to get together.
Like, dude, I had so much fun that year we did the nasty show.
And the Moon Tower is one of the few festivals
that it's almost like we're,
like the jam is the show there.
It's the show. It's every night.
I don't know, dude. I mean, I've been a JFL, you know, forever. I went every year, but
last year I had to say no because of the bonfire. I couldn't go. And maybe that affected
and it's a whole new switch over. Like all the people that were my people at GFL,
a lot of Mugana's like one or two maybe still left.
So it might be, I never got an offer to do Moon Tower.
I don't really know.
So I might have never got to me, but I never,
and I know Jay, we, you know,
we gotta, I guess we gotta do that.
So I gotta just get a, I'm doing what I'm so you know
What I'm told kind of like we're doing all right. We're not going fuck it. We'll stay here and do the show
I think this is more him this year that he just I think he I don't know
He's you know, I don't know why he doesn't like festival
He's not really like the guy that's out in like meeting everybody and he has his friends
But you know it like he if he'll do a show spend the whole fucking day
Right in his hotel room with the lights off watching YouTube videos. Yeah, which is great
But the thing is just get back to that when you did that yeah, and then we had a sing the fucking song
She killed which you killed I did all right you killed it. It was all right you killed it and then I
Was like you know, I didn't give a fuck really.
You know, you care about it, but I couldn't wait to get back and talk about it.
And talk about it.
You're just putting back.
I gave you guys an epa full two to four hours worth of comedy.
Yeah, we talked about it today.
It's a more than that.
Literally, we opened the show with it.
We're at you going, yeah, and bump killing.
Well, it's not me.
It's fucking whoever did it.
Oh, is it AI?
No, it's DJ, DJ Lou did it.
It's not.
If you guys haven't heard it, it's one of the funniest things.
DJ Lou just did such a good job of creating that.
The sound and the audience.
I call them up.
I was like, dude, we gotta make that.
I have recorded it on his phone.
What do you mean?
The actual one?
The actual.
Are you do have it?
That's not the one that they,
don't they ever have the real one from the bonfire?
That's the one that DJ Lou did.
The one that I did doesn't exist.
If it does exist, it's like nobody really has it hasn't.
Go fuck yourself, you don't have it.
Do I have it?
I don't know where it is, do you have it?
It would be on your phone.
I know what would it be under?
Your photos from March of last year?
That's what's so funny.
I can't look at that right now.
Yeah, we got to fucking talk.
He just said your photos,
he's like my what Don would say to my wife.
Your photos from last year in June.
Oh, okay, and then I'm on it.
I'm just like, okay, June,
I'm literally live on my podcast.
Instead of as a producer going, I got it.
Let me see your phone stupid.
I mean, what the fuck is this?
Are we live right now?
Are people with live, baby?
That's all right, don't worry about it.
It's a little more fun.
Dude, I just did it.
You don't need to hear it, I just did it.
But that, listen man, it's like,
I feel horrible about it.
I'm sorry, don't worry about it.
He was a thing, dude, you like being on the show now,
the one thing I said to Christine when I was on the show,
we're going to have this person. I was like, I'm not a gay keeper.
The people that are on the show are on the show. And I got to like you, Justin,
a funoia, Andy, who I all knew, but now I'm like, friendly or with because that's the
Who I all knew, but now I'm like, friendlier with, because that's the orbit of the bonfire
are those people, of course, to Rosa and stuff like that.
Because I have this, I'm...
You're a generation above every.
I'm a generation above, but I'm also a generation
from Buralot, like Keith and Norton, I'm with them.
Those are my guys and Colin and Voss, but I'm below them.
So I was kind of in the middle between like me, burn,
Steve burn, God free, dove.
And you walk your day walker.
You walk in both worlds.
It's a weird, I do, man.
I really do.
I walk in the younger world and the older world
and then the middle world.
You've gone, and also you've gone from being
dropped dead gorgeous to fat as fuck to gorgeous again.
And I'm going to give that to you.
Thanks. You had to. It's my show.
You saw me looking you when you had that fuck and I was like, where are you going?
No, but that's like you, you know, that's, I think that's one of those things that, if why,
it assimilates so perfectly is is because you bring a fucking,
not an elder, if you wanna call it that,
of somebody that's been in the comedy business
and been successful, and then respected,
and then at the same time though,
but you can also hang with the people.
Well, it's weird, I wouldn't be able to do this show
five years ago, six years ago, I wouldn't be able to do it.
I was too wrapped up in some shit.
Now, it happened at the perfect time where I was like,
yeah man, let's go, let's have fun.
It's just happen, things happen for reasons.
I really believe that.
But like you, here you are now,
do you come from music?
Are you like, like Dean Del Rey is a music guy, right?
He sings.
He is.
He's a singer.
He actually sings.
And now he does come, where the fuck?
Where does this come from?
Where does the comedy jam?
Because I heard about this back when I used to hang with Dane.
He used to call me and say,
I do the comedy jam.
That was you.
Yeah.
Back at the house of Blues.
Now that was a blues.
Where was it?
It started at this little theater on La Brea Yeah, back at the house of blues now the house of blues. What was it started?
It started at this little theater on
La Brea that's now defunct called the called the lyric theater and it was a huge reason why the show was popular
The show really started and the show really started at a this is right when I first started doing stand-up in
This is right when I first started doing stand up in O8. The unknown theater was this black box theater on Santa Monica and Seward, so in the theater
district.
And every Sunday night, there would be this comedy show run by Sarah Tiana and Laura
Valdevia.
And everybody would go there.
That's where I met Burr, that's where I met Porter, that's where I met Bret Ernst, all
the older comics.
And I'm this younger guy.
It's me, Angelo Bowers, Gerard Carmichael, Byron Bowers.
We used to hang out there and we would get spots.
And I do, I mean, this is, I'll also be the first to say this.
It's like, I was a, I was all bad when we first start.
But I was just like so bad.
I didn't know what I was doing.
I was so high energy, but I didn't have the confidence
in the wherewithal to know how to do a set up punch.
But they would put me up and I do whatever,
but after the show, there would be this jam session
where all the comics would hang out and drink,
because you could drink there all night.
It was like, kind of almost like a speakeasy.
And the guy that owned the theater would break out instruments.
There'd be a drum set in a guitar,
and that was something that I felt confident in that.
And that was a way for me to be like,
oh, no, no, no, maybe I'm not funny,
but here all lead this thing,
and we'll all just jam.
And like I said, that's where I met Bill.
He jammed on drums.
Then the two girls dropped the show.
I take it over and I meet this band
that was friends with the owner of the theater
who is now the band in my show, now, Elemento P.
And I just, you know, I say, hey, I'm gonna take the show over.
Why don't you guys be the house band
and when the comics are done,
you'll, instead of us lighting them,
you'll walk on stage, they'll know to wrap it up.
And if they wanna jam with you, they can.
And because I wasn't funny yet,
I would do like a musical intro,
kind of like a rough version of what I do now
with the seller of everything,
which is just me starting a song,
not knowing the lyrics, making up the lyrics,
and then talking to the audience
and getting them to sing,
but it was real sloppy and,
but fun.
And it was cool to see the reaction that I got from that
where, you know, I wasn't like, I said, dude,
I always say it was stand-up, I just got funny.
You know, I'm 15 years in and I now believe in myself.
Like, when we did, it was New York.
When we did new faces, not new faces, the nasty show.
That was like right at the cusp of me being able to like,
believe in myself and not self-sabotage.
Why would you self-sabotage? Just multiple, multiple reasons. Like one, it was, when I was younger, it was drugs.
Weed. It was also like, you know, I think it was, I started with some people that were very
dialed into their voice, Drod.
that were very dialed into their voice, Drod,
Angelo, they were like, dude,
I mean, well, Drod, Drod went up
at the comedy store for the Open Mike.
People were like, I mean, literally,
I was like, that's the future.
That's the future of comedy.
And I would go up, and you know, my ego,
I knew I wasn't on that level,
but it's like, those are the dudes I'm running with.
But I just needed a little bit longer.
I knew it was in me and I'd show signs
that I could be funny.
You get insecure because you're not doing,
you're not doing a set of punch tech.
You're going on stage with a lot of energy
and you're using the crowd and you're singing song
and you're getting people involved.
What you do is what you do.
Nobody else does.
And I know that now.
And now I know that.
Are you, because you, and you'll get shit for that.
You know you get it.
I know I get a lot of shit.
And here's, you're,
this is where the pot, I don't wanna get,
make this into a serious thing.
But where it, I was always confident.
And as I was building before 2012. So for four years that I was doing it I was
really starting to get funny out there's a place called the unnothe on the theater, the
downtown comedy club that Garrett Morris ran and I would go there every Friday in Saturday
get 20 minutes in front of 150 people and it's as a two year comic and now I was also right
next to Pill Ali so I would go buy some oxy cotton and then go on stage
and I would kill.
Cause pills were kind of the thing that took away the fear.
But I was building my set and, you know,
one thing that happened was crystal-least old joke from me.
What is, which one is it?
So, where are you from?
Oh, what are you doing?
And how big you did?
No one could do that. That's my thing. No, you can try that. No, it was it was the first joke that ever did well Oh, it was it was it was and he did it on it one of his specials. It was it was a what if animals have mating calls
Why don't humans? So it was like and I would do this impersonation of like,
of like a bird.
I was like, imagine if an ostrich sees, you know,
sees a girl and you do the whole act out.
What's the ostrich say?
Well, no, it was a whole thing.
It's like, it's still one.
Would you come on?
I want to hear you.
No, it'd be like, so I do like, I do it from the perspective
of this so gay.
I do it from the perspective of like, of like,
we're watching National Geographic.
And I'd be like, the North American Rich Backoster,
it sees the female and I walk up.
It's me doing a birdhead.
I like it.
Yeah.
And then I showed my father to go like,
ah, ah, and I'd be like,
why don't we have that?
And then I would do the impersonation.
Imagine if you were at like a taco bell
and you're like, yeah, I'll get a chicken chalupa,
a volcano nacha.
And then I do the fucking, ah, ah, and she doesn't give me anything and I go, all right, fuck it, yeah, I'll get a chicken chalupa of volcano not show. And then I do the fucking. She doesn't give me anything and I go, all right, fuck it.
Yeah, I can get a diet pack.
I like that.
I like that.
He took it.
So dude, and I'll say this now because with everything that's happened, I've talked
about it.
Hang on one second.
Good.
Controverson.
Skandles.
Skandles.
Why can't we get in the ditch on YKWD?

Yeah, I'll puke more if I get down.
So.
Oh God, good.
So did you wait, did you just dump?
Did you dump a little hard to back up food?
My mom, dude, she dumps all the time.
I told her drink tea before a big meal, turn sideways.
No, what did she get?
She got the lap band just like you got.
No, dude, I got the gastric sleeve.
The band, I didn't get the band.
She got the band.
The band is the one you heat up and then you can get more food.
She said, but she won't do that.
Yeah, I don't do that, but you can do that.
Yeah, I got the sleeve, I got a little baby stomach.
She has, I don't know, my mom didn't even lose weight.
Like, she literally, all she eats is candy.
Oh my God, will she fucking love Halloween?
She just, she can't, she'll try to eat a real meal.
Like she'll cook this prime rib
and she'll take a couple bites.
She goes, I gotta go to the bathroom.
Maybe just here, throw up.
Oh God.
She comes back, drinks wine.
And then has a Snickers?
Not Snickers, she's more of like a Charleston chew.
It's a rookie mistake.
Yeah.
No, so Charleston chew.
Charleston chew, dude.
Yeah, that's big in our family.
It's love Charleston. Town over over for me. You know that right?
Really? I thought it was Charleston, South Carolina. Now it's Charleston, Massachusetts, baby. I know that. I've never never actually. It's not true
I finally went to Boston when Jay did the Wilbur. Okay. That was the old first. I might have been a boss. I'm doing laugh Boston in June. Oh

So that's like me.
Oh, we're getting into that too.
Okay, let's take it all there.
You're gonna be all over the place.
Josh Adam Myers.com.
So, so here it is.
Here's the scoop.
That's his plug.
Now here's the scoop.
Here's the scoop.
This is gonna be the clip.
Well, it could be the clip.
So one day I was at the open mic at the comedy store
and I have this bit and it just started. I just came up with the idea and he's, Delea is at the open mic at the comedy store and I have this bit and
it just started, I just came up with the idea and he's, he's, Delea is at the open mic for some reason.
He's already a regular. He, oh, he doesn't need to be there. And it's early too, like 78 o'clock.
And I start, and I was cool with him at that time. So I say, hey man, I got this bit. It's an act
out kind of like, well, you know, what you do, I do two and I explain the bit to him and he's like,
we just got to go up there and do it. So I go up there, I do the bit.
It doesn't work, but Eleanor Carrigan,
as I'm getting, I love Eleanor's host and best.
She goes, don't lose that bit.
She goes, keep working on that.
That's funny.
The premise is really funny.
And then I walk off, Delea's gone.
Two weeks later, I'm at an open mic.
And it, and now the joke's rocking, dude.
It's really funny.
And this guy, Munch, I'll never forget Munch's name.
Munch goes, dude, I hate to tell you,
but D'Lia's doing that same bit.
And I'm like, are you fucking kidding me?
And then he goes, yeah, if I go there tonight,
I'll audio record it.
And I'll see, just to make sure of him,
and then two days later I run into Munch,
he's like, yeah, dude, he plays a little bit of the bit.
I'm like, holy shit.
So then I start running my mouth. I start telling people like what are you saying?
I'm just saying delete a stolen bit from me to everybody every I mean anybody to listen right and and it gets back to him
And we're at the comedy store and this was like a perfect situation because I
This is the the first few years of stand-up. I was I was doing pain killers because like I said it took the the fear away
Yeah, and maybe feel good and I years of stand up, I was doing painkillers because like I said, it took the the fear away
and maybe feel good. And I, one night I think I just stopped up on Vikin and I'm going to the comedy store. You're acting like it's fucking rice. Dude, one night I just parked up on rice,
Marshmallow's hotcha and Vikin and we fucked the fuck. And so I go there and I'm,
but this is the thing is that when I took painkillers,
I was so confident.
So it was like any kind of inhibitions
or thoughts of me not being in charge or whatever.
It was just, I commanded, not respect.
I just believed in myself on painkillers.
So I see him at the comedy store and he goes,
he goes, you tell me why I stole a joke from you,
I go, you did.
And it's like a second, I just like said it,
like you did, he got nervous.
And he starts looking away and I'm like,
dude, you know you fucking took it.
Why didn't you say something to me?
If you should have, he goes,
he goes, he goes, you should have done like this.
You did.
Wow.
Wow.
I was like, dude, I was like, you, you, if you had it,
because he says to me, it goes, well, I had a bit just like that.
And I go, well, why didn't you say something?
And then he'll go, and then just say,
I swear to God, he goes, well, I don't know how long
you're going to be doing stand up for.
Wow.
And I'm just like, dude, wow.
I'm going to be right where the fuck was I know.
I know, I was right where the fuck you are.
And then he goes, all right, well, I'll stop doing it.
He said that. I respect. He's like, I'll stop doing it. He said that he's like I'll stop doing it
That's great and and then and then he went and then he started doing it again six
But then he started doing it. I'd say like like six seven months later and then we had it out again
You had it again. I did it again. What did you say? This time, this time. He's like, now he's bigger.
He's bigger.
And now he's the guy at the comedy store.
Yeah.
And his confidence is like,
do you don't want to fucking deal with this shit?
Yeah.
And it really made me ask,
is the comedy store where you got to be?
It's where you got to be.
I would go there and I would feel,
he's the big guy there. He's the big guy. I don't know, buddy. And you're in Hollywood
too. Yeah. Where they don't give them, they're not going to give a, they, they care that
he's there. Yeah. They know, they're not, it's not like Rogan's going to come in and back
you up. Well, there was, there was, there was a, you know, you actually Joe, uh, and Red
Band called me to ask me about it because there was another, you say Joe at Red Band called me to ask me about it.
Because there was another.
You say Joe at Red Band?
Joe and Red Band.
Oh, both calls.
Yeah, both, no, Red Band called me
with like in a sense with Joe on the other line.
This is before his podcast had blown up.
And he was really like doing a lot of shit.
We were all doing, he had this thing called
the Desk Cloud Chronicles at the Ice House.
We were all be a part of do the show.
This is right before,
this is when your mom's house was kind of starting.
Yeah.
It was really cool.
And we were all getting opportunities.
And Red Band was like,
they asked me about it
because he was the defender of jokes.
Okay.
And I explained it
because there was also,
there's another guy, Vinny O'Shauna,
that D'Alea took a bunch of bits from.
He took some of his first bits.
So I don't know how we got down this path,
but I'm fine with it, but he...
You're the one I tell you.
Because I never heard, I've never heard D'Alea has been...
No bits?
Was a bit. Really?
Yeah, I never heard that.
It was a thing in LA.
Wow.
Because he's pretty popular.
Look, I'll be the first to say this,
that Chris annihilates. Like, he kills me popular. Look, I'll be the first to say this, that Chris annihilates.
Like, he kills, man, on a level,
because he's an incredible performer,
but he's in a malgamation of like five or six comics.
He's Dane, he's Dove David off, he's Vinny O'Shauna,
he's, I'm not saying he's me,
because he only stole one joke from me,
but he's all just like, he's just little pieces of stuff.
And, but he's, this incredible performer.
And so to bring it back to why you asked
why I self-sabotage, that killed me.
That made me feel uncomfortable at the comedy story,
maybe not believe in myself because he's the man,
and I'm not.
He's, because I remember I called the manager of the improv
and I said, or I was like, what do I do? Delia stole this bitch, you know, there's nothing you and I'm not. He's, cause I remember I called the manager of the improv and I said to him, what do I do?
Delias stole this bitch, you know,
there's nothing you can do.
Wow.
He's with three arts.
Yeah.
Who were you with?
I'm like, no one.
And he got it out there faster.
So funny thing is I actually get the joke on YouTube,
the Lafactory website.
I got that joke on like very, very early
before he got it on his special,
but I'll never forget the night.
DJ and I have the strip club in downtown LA
and a stripper text me and she's like,
she's like, hey, I need to say this,
but I just watched that guy DeLia's special,
the night it came out and she's like, he did your bit.
And I just, I think I might have texted him or something
but it was just like, you texted him?
I might have, I think I have them, I did something, but it was just like, you texted him? I might have.
I think I have no might of I did.
And I was like, what the fuck dude?
And he goes, fuck you man, I don't have time for this shit
or whatever.
Basically.
So he basically said, fuck it.
Yeah, because he knew you couldn't do anything about it.
Nothing I could do.
And so there's that.
So there's that.
Now on top of that,
and I've skipped over another part of why,
and this is why I self-tabitages,
I got in that car accident in 2012. Do you know about that?
No.
Um, me and a comedian, Angelo Bowers.
On his comedian, I never met my best friend ever.
Uh, is he alive?
No, he died.
Oh, in the car accident?
In the car. Well, he had just taken it.
What the fizz-a-common taught you, because I said it's going to get serious.
I mean, well, how said it was that serious? I mean, he's talkingizz a common I told you is I said it's gonna get serious. I will how said it? No is that serious?
He talking about fucking dead comments dude, but I we want to bring Patrice up get his hat put it on why you tell the story
Well, seriously, go get his fucking hat put it on here. Oh, yes, I do so we got hit by a drunk driver in front of the capital records building
He died. I was thrown from the car.
And what is this?
A Molly Crew Story.
Kind of, yeah.
A little bit.
What happened?
So a drunk driver ran a red light.
Will you guys own something?
No, no, no.
I just broken up with my girlfriend.
She just like me.
I love when people lie, they go, no, no, no, no.
It's three nose.
One no is not lying.
Two nose, maybe.
Three nose. Oh yeah, yeah, no, no, it's three nose. One no is not lying, two no's, maybe, three no's.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, maybe I took like, I don't do it.
I don't wanna hear it,
because I don't want his fucking aunt to watch this.
No, I knew he killed Joey, what's his name?
Oh, not Angelo.
Angelo.
Who was driving?
I was driving.
Was.
I'm a Jeep Wrangler, so my Jeep Wrangler,
oh, like a fun death trap, too, yeah.
So he flew out of the car? I flew, like a, death trap, too. Yeah. So he flew
out of the car. I flew out of the car. He died in the car. Like, he got to the hospital
and they tried to save him, but it's just he had just, where did you go? Like a bush? How
do I, I landed on the corner of Vine and Yucca? I cracked my head. I fractured my skull
in two places, broke my arm, broke my jaw, broke some ribs. You just out. Yeah, I woke
up. I woke up on the ground.
I see the car coming.
Oh no.
Suddenly, and then next to you know,
I wake up on the ground,
and there's this black dude over top of me.
He's like, don't move, don't move.
And I'm just like, I apologize.
And the guy's like, no, no, no, he's like, that dude's drunk.
It's 21 year old kid.
Never been in trouble.
See, dead too?
No, but he lived.
He lived.
He had no health insurance.
His car, he had no car insurance his car he had no he had no
Car insurance. There's nothing he was Spanish Spanish. Yeah first generation. Yeah, dude
And I probably didn't have to say that he didn't have insurance that we already once I said he was Spanish
Sorry, Mike. It's a dude. It's a but that that's the thing. This is the thing is After that accident, I created this thing in my head
that everybody wanted Angelive and not me
and it just affected.
No, that is true.
Survivors killed.
No, no, we've talked about that.
Yeah.
There's actually a website called
I Wish Andrew Still Alive, not Josh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no This is a song, you heard it? And where are you?
You left us with this dude.
Skimmy to do, drop me that thing.
Drop me that thing.
No, so that sucks.
Yeah, and so that was, and this is the thing is that hiding start, I didn't really start
dealing with that shit, even when I had my TV show on Comedy Central when a GM started
taking off, I had, I couldn't enjoy any of it.
I was either one on drugs or,
because I then the drug addiction became like heavy.
What kind of drugs were you doing?
Uh, like what was the crisis?
Oxyca heroin.
Oxyca. That's a good one.
Heroin, I did the last week.
How? We were in DC.
No, but did you shoot it or just snorted it?
You snorted heroin?
At the Arlington cinema draft house.
Yeah, I know, with the chairs in the front row.
I was there with Adam Ray and a buddy of mine
that I grew up with.
He was addicted to painkillers and Adam said
he needed some of the first backs.
So I go, can you get me anything?
And the guy's like, I don't have like viking in,
I've got like perk 30s.
And I'm like, I don't take that to Adam.
And Adam's like, I don't want, that's like heroin.
And I'm like, all right, well, I guess I'll keep it.
I mean, I was already using it.
That was the last week and he also gave it.
What does that do to you?
Just feel great.
And I'm like, how?
Like what does it do?
Just, I don't know.
Imagine getting into a bath.
Yeah.
And just like, and then taking that bath.
I say that as a fact guy, I've never gotten to a bath
and I've always gotten to the bath and I heard're like moving your back and your back catch it.
Yeah.
It makes like a like a like a waterquee.
Like, yeah, then when I get out, there's only this much water left in the tub.
It fucking stinks.
I hate baths.
Oxy cotton, man.
That.
One of the best, it's true story.
One of the after that accident, it was right around January, because that was January,
January 3rd, 2012.
I did the, I did my first showcase for JFL
that year and did great.
All fucked up.
And Eric Abrams, who's the liaison for JFL, was like, because dude, you're on the fence,
I don't know if you're going to get a call back.
And then three weeks later, a four weeks later, I'm in downtown LA, buying dope, like buying
an Oxie 80s.
And Eric calls me,
he goes, Hey man, do you want to do a showcase tonight
at Meltdown, be a call back?
I was like, dude, of course.
And so I show up, Meltdown's the hottest room
in Los Angeles, if not all of comedy at that point.
It was, you know, it was that back of a common bookstore,
you fit 250 people in there sober,
and it was one of the best rooms in LA.
I was in a Kamaul and Jonah Ray did that show. I have no idea of that. It was a big show, it one of the best rooms in LA. I was where Kamal and Jonah Ray did that show.
I have no idea. It was a big show. It was a big alt show in LA.
But on this night for this callback, it's literally in a room of 250 people.
There's literally 15 people that are probably agents and managers.
Then the three JFL people, Robbie, Prall, Jeff Singer and Eric Abrams.
And when I tell you that everybody on this showcase, bomb,
including me, couldn't stress that, everybody,
but the funny thing was, I was so fucked up on OxyCut
and that I'm the only one that didn't show it.
I was having so much fun, just like,
it's fucking rules.
And like, I'm bombing, but I was having fun.
And then afterwards Robby and Jeff Singer
come up to me and they're like, who are you?
Like how we never heard of you.
Really?
Yeah, and that changed my life.
Wow.
Really, because then I got JFL the next year.
Well, it's funny was I got sober,
there's an all-passed car accident.
I got sober May 15 like 15th, 2012,
and the first show I had post-gating sober,
and it was a bad detox, man.
It was like four days of like,
I use sober now.
Not sober.
I smoke weed and I take mushrooms,
but like at the end of the night,
mushrooms.
I smoke weed, take mushrooms,
and I shoot up once in a while, but the thing is.
I wish.
Oh man.
I wish I could just do some oxy-cutting
every once in a blue man.
It fucking rules.
It's rock and roll.
It really is.
And it just, like I, it's funny, like when,
because I started, when the jam started taking off
and the TV show, it was like all the stress of like,
just still that should about not believe in myself,
all the stress of like, of like,
doing the show in front of industry
made me start using again.
And you know, and now I have money,
so I'm like, I'm using some heavy shit.
And so I, this is like the year I got,
I actually got new faces.
My mom had to come with me to JFL
because I didn't have a passport
because some guy stole it from me and like,
it's a whole story.
And so my mom had to come
and I get a temporary passport.
We drive into this, we drive into fucking Montreal
two days before the showcase
and my mom's got all these,
my mom's got an incredible medicine cabinet.
I'm telling she has everything.
Really?
It's CVS dude.
It's fucking the fuck, she has everything.
And she's actually got, in her purse,
she's got Vic and in the S.
He's from LA.
No, no, no, I'm from Maryland.
So you just out in LA.
That was, it was between New York and LA
and I chose LA because my cousin was out there.
Okay.
And I knew I would have,
Are you very LA?
Like, you're really?
Yeah, dude, your energy, your vibe, what's up?
What's going on?
You're kind of nice, friendly.
I mean, you have the, you have that.
Hey, how you doing?
But you'll snap at any second, you know what I mean?
Yeah, I, I, I, a hundred percent.
New York to me, dude.
I feel like I'm, I feel like I've, I've got East Coast.
Cause I'm from DC.
Now, you, your arse are too fucking,
you're, you say, say, how are you?
How are you?
Say, how are you?
It's too, too, out, that's that way.
How are you?
How are, how are you doing?
How are you?
What, we never say how you, I say, how you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing? What's your name? I'm Bob, nice to meet you doing? How you doing? Nice to meet you. How you doing? How you doing?
What's your name?
I'm Bob.
Nice to meet you.
Bob, you call you Bobby.
Call me Bobby, whatever.
Bob, don't call me, just don't call me Lea Vardina.
I feel like I am very New York.
I feel like I, I, I, it was like when I came here,
it felt more like, it just more like it just felt right.
It felt right.
A lot of guys from LA came to New York at the same kind of time.
You, Dean came here.
Dean came out before that.
He came out, he came out, got past here and then he went back to LA.
But I remember when you came out here, I mean, you know, I know that and you got
in at the seller and, you know, it's, it's funny to me because it's like, well, he does
this thing and it's like, yeah, here's a fuck.
Is he okay with it?
Is he getting laughs?
You know, we bust each other's balls to fuck a stool.
You know what I mean?
And they used to make fun of me all the time.
We still fucking bust Norton's ball
because he blinks when he does.
We do our thing with each other,
but in essence of it, in reality of it,
you haven't fun on stage.
Are you getting paid?
I love it, dude.
People laughing.
Dude, and I mean this, New York,
you know, all that shit that I dealt with,
and we talked about that, you know, it was shit that I dealt with, we talked about that,
you know, it was, I'm glad it happened because it made me who I am.
We glad your friend died.
I've taken it.
And Josh, I was getting, please don't answer that question.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

it's honestly one of the best things that ever happened
to me because it really made me appreciate life.
One of the worst things ever happened to him.
You know what I mean?
If you could ask him.
Well, you know, I think that's, that's apt to you. That's apt. You have a very good vocabulary.
Really? Yeah. I only know like five big words.
I know. You got to know a few. You're very apt.
I've been using Gregarius wrong for years.
What's up with you?
What did you think Gregarius means?
I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. Look, that's how Greg was saying.
So Gregarius. What did you think Grogeras means? I don't know, I don't know. I guess how Greg would say it. So Grogeras is.

I don't, I don't.
If it happens, it happens.
But you have, you just want to focus
on what you're doing right now.
I'm just enjoying having money and being single
and being able to enjoy my life, man.
You got a new Rolly right now.
God, I love it so much.
Yeah, I love it so much.
Let me take it off.
Yeah.
I love it so much. I didn't bring off. Yeah. Okay. I love it so much.
I didn't bring my Rolly tonight because I didn't want to wear it.
I had to take the train today.
Yeah.
You were the guy that made me because I was so sad on getting a submariner and then you
were the one that said it.
You were like, dude, if you don't get it, I'll fucking get it.
Yeah, that's a, that's a man's watch.
It's a beast.
And it's, and it's like everything you said, dude.
It's like nobody has it. And once that fucking, once's like everything you said, dude, it's like nobody has it.
And once that fucking, once they discontinue it
with that red, that's gonna shoot up and be worth like,
you know, maybe, you know, maybe not double,
but at least it'll go about 25, 30%.
It's not, man.
It's an, it's exactly the watch you should have.
Yes.
Yeah, because you're a big guy.
You're, you know, you're, you're a muscular dude.
You know what I mean?
I love it so much.
Yeah, it's damn.
Tell people what it is.
It's a sea dweller, so it's about 43 millimeters.
Oh my God.
Which is big, it's got this gas valve.
It's basically a submarine on steroids.
The reason I like those watches is because to me,
why would you get a, what people bust me?
Why would you get a watch?
All my, any watch that I have represents a moment in time.
You know what I mean?
It's nothing to be a Rolex,
but a Rolex is like a moment where you let,
you know what, I made this,
I made enough to do this,
or I made a goal to do,
you know what I mean?
It's like, I achieved something here. But even like my watch, I made a goal to do it. You know what I mean? It's like I achieved something here.
But even like my watch, I have a lip and LIP.
It's a French watch.
But it's a watch I bought when I was in France
with Louis doing this tour of Europe.
And I was like, I want something to remember my Europe tour.
It's, no, scroll down.
Oh, yeah. It's the other. It's, yeah, no, keep going. Divers watch. It's, no, scroll down. Oh, yeah.
It's the other.
It's, yeah, no, keep going.
Divers watch.
It's L.I.P. Divers watch.
Oh, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll.
Now it's gonna.
Yeah.
I mean, no.
Right there, the one with the tan,
the next to the tan one, over up,
I'll do this all day with him,
because he doesn't listen.
Doesn't listen.
He'll do what he will.
Go over the left, all the way.
Go up, go right, too, right there.
Oh, see, I'd love those.
Yeah, that's, you see, but that watch, not expensive,
but it means so much to me.
I think to me watches mean a lot.
And that watch, you'll remember when you got that,
why you got that, where you were when you got-
Best year of my life, man.
It's great, right? Yeah, and you're you got that. Best year of my life, man.
It's great, right?
This is the best year of your life right now.
This is, I say financially and I'd say all this career.
And it's not like, you know, this was the year that I really,
like I said, I really feel like I figured out
what I wanna do, how I wanna be on stage with or without a band.
You know, if I don't have a band,
I'm still doing musical shit.
Okay. You know, I'm still singing, I'm still being...
Has that ever...
Because here's the thing with the singing thing, okay?
Jokes. I'm going up there, what's up? What's going on? How you doing?
Blah blah blah. Joke, joke, joke, joke. It doesn't work. I can go out of it, right?
The singing thing, it takes a lot of energy to get into that. You have to really, you know,
way you front blah blah. You in it?, you know, where you from blah, blah, you in.
If it doesn't work, it works every time.
But if it doesn't, has it ever not worked somewhere?
But then I,
with somebody's like, the fuck away from you with that.
So what I'm doing, what happens?
So what I'm doing the shit with the band here at the seller,
it, it, it, there, if I, what I do is I'm like,
I'm almost kind of like, forget about the band here.
I'm talking about like at a funny bone in Syracuse,
there's no band, it's you on stage, you know,
Friday night, second show.
It's like, oh Bobby, it always works.
Cause I come out and I start singing,
I start singing like, either I riff on the song
that they brought me out to and I start trying
to get the guy to sing with me.
If there's no music, I do fucking live in on a prayer.
I just start singing it and I get everybody to sing with me and then I find that one guy
and I'm like, you ready to hit the chorus and then I put it to him and if he does it, I,
we all go crazy.
I want you to do it right now with a royalty free song.
What do you mean?
I want you to sing a song.
Yes, we have nobody.
So I'll be like, so I'll do yes, we have no bananas.
I need to do that because it has to be royalty free.
You can't sing a song.
You can't say, but I'm not gonna sing the right lyrics.
I don't know.
Spoof.
And we do that.
I'll do a song by a band that's called like,
you know, with flea and Anthony Keedis.
Okay.
You know what I'm talking about.
So I'll be like,
Hunk and Donkey here, rescue the Lena, do do.
Cause my mom's got Fabro, my Alja.
And then I'll go you do that
And then I try to put the guy. All right, so let me do it. I want to do it
So hunky don't get your rescuital in a dude do and you know you got cystic fibrosis
What you now you do it because I'll be building you hunky-duty duty sink a bokeh boopoo
System I brought this yeah, well, I just go different diseases.
But it's, but it's, but I'm more I set it up
and I, when I'm doing it, it's like,
if you do this,
are you coming in out with jokes too?
Oh, yeah.
45 minutes, you'll go to it.
I don't know.
So I'm doing, I'm doing what,
the clips that I post that when I'm here
when I have the band,
it's just that's where the camera is
and I can utilize that.
My hour is music and stand.
So I'll do, I'll do 40.
Because I've seen you do jokes.
You open for me in Austin when you did just joke.
Yeah, do what we did.
Well, you saw, remember what we did at the NASTY show?
I would utilize the band for three or four minutes
and then I would do a set.
Right, okay. Maybe I'd go back. That's the same, should I do? I do, I don minutes and then I would do a set. Right, okay.
Maybe I'd go back.
So same.
That's the same, should I do.
I don't, I don't have a band.
So what I do is I do, I do about 30 minutes,
35 minutes of standup with music, but it's just fun.
It's a party.
I mean, shows are like a party.
And then I bring out a guitarist, like a higher local guy.
Okay.
And I have him play like, you know, zombie, or just like two chords,
and then I do the music shit.
And the way it's cool is I'm utilizing everything
we just learned from whatever the crowd work is.
Cool thing about my show,
and a lot of people will come to the eight o'clock
and I'll go, if you come to the 10,
it's gonna be a different show.
And there's a lot of the same material.
But dude, I have, I have, you know,
and I think you know this,
like the material that I've had for years,
now that I'm a confident person,
and I believe in myself,
because of all that shit we were talking about,
it's like, now I'm like, oh, I know.
What I know, I know people might not fuck with what I do,
but I fuck with what I do.
And I know that I'm different.
And so now I'm taking jokes that I've had 10 years ago,
you know, that I did once or twice.
Now they're strong bits, because I am a stronger performer.
So let me ask you a question.
That's a very important question.
What do you got?
How much pussy do you get on the road?
None.
Oh, okay.
I'm like asexual.
What?
Yeah.
I'm not getting pussyed already.
Why?
You're not getting laid.
I don't not right now.
No.
Why?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Now do you?
I want to ask you a question seriously because we got to wrap up here soon.
Yeah, I got to be I got to get to what's it got to ask you a question seriously because we got to wrap up here soon. Yeah, I got to be, I got to get to,
what's it got at 10, 15?
Okay, we're going to wrap up very shortly.
How, did you, are you,
because I'm thinking to do a test on us around.
Yes, you're 100% used to it.
Why?
Because imagine having energy,
imagine feeling like you're in your 20s again.
And you, and it works.
Yes.
That's it. This isn't, this isn't steroids of yesterday, you know, where it's like you got to worry about works. Yes. That's it.
This isn't steroids of yesterday year.
You know, where it's like, you got to worry about shit.
You go to a doctor, you do it legally.
They look at your heart, they look at your blood and your liver levels.
And you do it.
It's not, you know, we, it's like Nancy Reagan, like scared us for pot and scared us for
a lot of guys with dying too.
For pot.
No, from steroids.
Sure, but they're abusing them.
Right.
You don't abuse it.
You're just basically getting your testosterone level.
Where it was.
Where it was.
And I, because I started doing steroids when I was DJing at the strip club, and that
was more for depression, because I was just like, my career was going nowhere and everybody
was on steroids.
Because I'm thinking of doing testosterone because my T is low.
I'm 53.
Yeah. You know, I want, I'm trying to get my ship, but it's hard.
Yeah.
The problem is it's not hard.
Not hard.
The last thing I was my dick hard, fucker, wake my fuck.
Don't you want that?
Don't you want to just like roll over and just start rubbing your junk on Don's ass
and next thing you know, I want to, I want to rub a hard 50 year old

You have to go.
I would do old dirty bastard returned to the 36 chambers.
It's one of my favorite records of all time.
I just love him.
Tribe called Quest, either a low end theory or midnight marauders.
And then obviously like Wu Tang, Wu Tang under the same as is a record that like changed
my life.
If you already said that one.
And I said return to the that's an old dirty.
All Wu Tang Wu Tang up until until.
I love Biggie.
And I wasn't I was I was very like Wu Tang.
Until Wu Tang forever, even a couple of records after Wu Tang forever, I was so gongho
Wu Tang.
Okay.
And then it's just they just fell off after Wu Tang forever came on.
Okay.
But I would say like Tribe Called Quest, um, I mean, you know, public enemy, there's some,

He meant jump around.
Jump around.
Yeah.
Calcipane.
Yeah, but I like the black kids too. I like Chris Cross. Thanks for the question. Scruffy balls. Josh, which comic makes you laugh the loudest
who has or would be your favorite person to sing with? It's a double question. My favorite
comic and is, it's I'm gonna say this is Patrizonile. Patrizonile's elephant in the room is the
special that I love more than anything.
That got me through the car accident
because that was 2011 when he came out, then he died.
And I watched that special non-stop.
A live, I mean, I don't know.
Your favorite person to sing with.
Sing with.
Who would I want to sing with if I could?
Yeah.
Or Billy Joel or Billy Joel.
Billy Joel.
I love Neil Diamond and Billy Joel, man.
I think I've seen Billy Joel live, like 17, 18 times. Really?
Yeah, I mean, being built up mushrooms and went to see him at, uh, it's so far.
Because I take a lot of mushrooms.
Oh, he, he, he, he builds like hugely into mushrooms now.
When?
I don't know, a couple of years.
Is that out in the public?
Oh, yeah. He's Is that out in the public?
Oh, yeah.
So he tells the story in his special, or his new special is.
But yeah, I love mushrooms.
Huge, huge mushrooms, huge Billy Joel and Neil Diamond.
And to go on top of that, not just sing with Neil Diamond.
If there was anybody that I could see live, right?
In the history of music, it would be Neil Diamond,
a hot August nights.
I'm coming to America today.
Jesus Christ, penny rice.
He popped.
He popped.
He popped.
He popped.
He's got Parkinson's.
There's never never soup.
A double scoop.
Shout out to a new name.
I love it.
Jay, if you could be in any other era of music comedy,
what era would you choose?
What era would you despise?
Me?
Yeah.
I don't really consider myself a musical comic.
That's the thing.
I'm just a comedian that happens to like, that's good at music.
Like there's people that put it in a guitar and...
No, music and comedy.
I don't think it's musical.
I think Tenacious D was one of the greatest.
That's her.
I think to do Tenacious D, it was the...
Are you talking about Jack Black?
Yes.
But I mean, Tenacious D.
Tenacious D is the best musical comedy band
in the history of musical comedy,
because they are actually good.
And they crossed over to the point
where they're playing arenas and stadiums at like festivals
Yeah, okay personally. I see you sloshing of sobriety for the wild set no
He wanted to know the era 70s my homie you get to choose from the Abba BS to Zeppelin Shred to
I don't know what we're talking about all music. He's talking about the era not the person the era
I think if I could have been,
he's talking about music, yeah.
Let me say this, if I, two errors that I wish
I would have focused music on,
if I could have been alive during the hair metal band scene
and actually be in a band,
because that's why I'm having vocal chord surgery
to get my voice back to where it was,
because I can sing like that,
that, wow, I used to be able to.
And then I would say grunge.
Grunge era, I was in my teens when it was at its height,
but that was like, that's the most influential sector
of my life.
Those four or five years of Pearl Jam,
Sound Garden, Allison Chains, Don't Double Pilots.
Right, that's the thing that's molded me.
That's a molding most real fits too
Just nice is nicer quality flannels Julia Julia at what age did Josh swallow come? I mean a bullfrog
You swallowed a bullfrog
It's just a oh because you have voice. Yeah, sorry. I didn't get that. I'm fucking stupid

Not unless you like come.
No, I don't. Oh, yeah not unless you like come no, I don't oh yeah unless you like
Jellin and with fucking bleach mr. Josh out of my celebration of the hip hop 50. That was a yeah

You know what you're a fucking dickhead
You're sabotoring me again
He wrote the same question twice.

Why would you put two questions?
It printed out twice.
Why would you give it to me?
Why would you put it in front of me?
So I would look at you.
Trying to team fail, dude.
You are a fucking sabotage.
We already turned this podcast into a fucking,
into a sad therapy session.
I mean, you fucking brought up a dead friend.
I feel like, but here's the thing,
it's I love talking about him.
There's many, there's not many clues.
One of the funniest come up was,
he would have been, what has been, what has been the,
and we don't know that.
Go give there are clips of Angelo Bowers,
there's not many, but go watch him.
He would have been the next David Tell.
I, everything I do is to honor that motherfucker.
Really? Yeah, yeah. Jam.
That'd be funny.
If he did come back and he just won
up not liking you.
It's like, he was a guy, he's fucking him.
Well, this is him, the singing is because of him.
He told me, he was like, you need to do something
with music.
He's like, you have to.
Right.
So if you're gonna blame anybody for the whole
ski bat and doodle, it's fucking Angelo Bowers.
Yeah, fuck it, man.
You know what, Josh, there's only one Josh.
There is.
There's only one motherfucker like you.
Love, love, hate, whatever the fuck it is.
There's nobody I was doing what you're doing,
except for Chris Delia. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, some cat Williams shit. Dude, it's, it's, it's, I think in LA, it was a little bit bigger than it was out here.
