Wilco's. Oh. Think that one through. Somebody will know. Text us in, let us know, and I'll send you something. Like a handwritten note. Thank you. I'll just text you back. Thank you. Look at a personal response.

You know, a personal response. Just for you. All right. So it's Tuesday. We're super excited. We're always super excited to have a guest in here because quite frankly, we're nobody. They're always fun. They are always fun. We always find something interesting. 98% of the interviews that we have done

have just gone off swimmingly, and we've really loved the personalities that we get to meet. And let's be real honest about it. Chrissy and I are nobody's shit on a shoe. And the fact that anybody, with any relevance whatsoever, decides to come in. I know.

It's kind of surreal sometimes, when I'm looking at these people while we're doing the interviews and it's like, what? It's way surreal. And now I've gotten to the point where- They're seeing us and talking to us. Yeah. They're like the people that we see. It's like two-dimensional. They're not supposed to respond to us. They're supposed to be on a television or in a comedy club or whatever it happens to be. But this one's got my goat because this one is a different, well, let me put it this way. We've all heard the roasts. We've all seen the roast battles.

Yeah, you know what a roast is. Yeah, it's a genre of comedy. I'm not gonna have, you're not that dumb. It's a roast, like roast battles. And this guy is the puppeteer behind a lot of the roast battles that have made note. I'm not talking about the Comedy Central roasts, I'm talking about the roast battles, like the one with Jeffrey Ross that was on Comedy Central for a while, and now he's got a league.

Brian Moses is a funny comedian slash writer who hosts at the Comedy Store in LA every Tuesday night roast battles. And he's been doing it for I think- 11 years. 11 years. slash writer who hosts at the Comedy Store in LA every Tuesday night, Roast Battles. And he's been doing it for, I think- 11 years. 11 years. Yeah. I think I saw something about 11 years today, actually, as we're recording this. 11 years today.

So we'll talk to him more about that. But now he's got an international Roast Battle League. So there are clubs all around the world that host Roast Battles and then Brian and- In comedy clubs. In comedy clubs. Yep. And then Brian and the commissioner of the Roast Battle League. Hello, there's a commissioner. Yes.

They will break it down afterwards on their YouTube channel, RBL. So if you go and look up Roast Battle League or RBL, you're going to find their channel, go ahead and subscribe. They show the roasts, then they break it down. It's kind of like they're doing a little comedy critiquing, right? And I'm so kind of excited to dig into this version of comedy because we've talked to a lot of stand-up comedics. We've talked to people who do really good stand-up comedy. We've talked to writers like Neil Brennan, who have been a part of famous shows. We have talked to people who do really good crowd work like Hannah Berner or Heather. We have had all of it, but roast is not, the roast battles is not

something we've touched on yet. But now I know Brian is somehow, and we'll get to this, but intermingled with Kill Tony, which is the extraordinarily popular right now, roast battle of all roast battles. Not really a roast battle. If you've seen Killtony, you know what it is. Yeah, you had to tell me what it was. Killtony is a, right now, very hot, very famous, even though he's been doing this for a long time, he is selling out arenas. Killtony is a comedy show that's got live music, and then he brings up people from all different walks of life, gay, straight, transgendered, able-bodied, not able-bodied, able-minded, not able-minded, all walks of life. Anyone you can imagine, and if they want to be funny or they have an interesting story

to tell, he gives them a couple of minutes to do that. And then his dais of professional comedians like Kyle Kanane's been on, like a lot of our comedian friends have been on this dais, and Brian has too, many times. Then they will give critiques and they will also roast each other back and forth. And it is funny, it is really even-handed, it is sweet in some sense, sometimes. And they have that guy, Ryan Adam Comedy, who comes up and he does Dr. Phil, he does the impression of Dr. Phil. My opinion, my impression is better, but we'll go toe to toe some time on that. Maybe we can battle each other as Dr. Phil.

Dr. Phil-off. A Phil-off. A Phil your hole-off or something like that. Yeah. But I would be blessed to have Ryan, who does, has no idea who I am, decide to do a Phil-off. Who knows? You never know. One day you might meet him. Maybe. We'll see how it all rolls out. But I'll say this. Brian is kind of the puppet master behind

a lot of this stuff and lead writer on the Roast Battle. He's the president. Yep. The Roast Battle. Creator. Yeah. I want to ask how he came up. I mean, how this started. Well, of course, we need the origin story. It's been going on for 11 years. It didn't, maybe it happened on accident, but there's some kind of everything has a story. We have a story, right? And I'm interested to hear that. Our story.

We have a story. We fell drunk into each other at the Clear Channel Hallways. You want more beer? Who needs this work? Bullshit. Put it on your protection. No one wants radio spots. Anyway, let's go.

So anyway, Brian is the puppeteer behind a lot of this. And he was also one of the head writers on roast battles with Jeffrey Ross, which aired on comedy central, if you remember for like three or four years, we'll ask him, and then they had a UK version also. But go to Roast Battle League, go onto YouTube, go type in Roast Battle League, and then subscribe to that channel,

and you'll get updates as every week, the roasters around the world try and one up each other by giving a good roast battle, and then they get points based on... Let's get it on. Let's get it on! Roast your roast! Drop the roast!

Drop the roast! All right, so why don't we do this? Let's take a break and then when we come back, we will have Brian Moses here with us and excited to do that. Are you good with that, Chrissy? I'm good with that. Let's do it. Checking in during the awkward transition phase. Let's do it.

All right, we'll be back. Hi, no, you're not dreaming. And yes, this is a new promo. See, I made you wait and now look how happy you are. I know, I know you're smiling. Anyway, since we're here, why don't you just hop on over to Instagram and give us a follow at the

Brian's here with us now. Brian, grateful for your time this morning. Hey guys. Hey, congratulations on 11 years of the roast battle out there in LA last night with the show. Happy birthday to you. Glory holes. That's us, man. We are, yeah, the roastast Battle's a preteen now.

I think next year, Drake is gonna slide into the Roast Battle's DMs. Oh! Hot take. Let's roast. That's preteen now. She's gonna start wearing those. Let's roast.

Let's get it on. Not for us. For 11 years, you have been doing this. So Brian, for those of our audience who may not understand what the roast bat, I mean everyone's seen a roast obviously, it's a hugely popular comedy format. And tell us how you got started

because you are the man behind the machine in some sense or what I understand. The president. Yeah. The president. So about 11 years ago, literally to the day, I was running this open mic at the comedy store. There was a door guy there.

I was working there. And then we had lost an open mic night. They call them potluck nights. So I used to run two of them, Sunday, Monday. That got rid of Sundays because they were losing so much money. They were like, they had to put real shows, real comedians on and said, you idiot, open mic. So we're going to bring all the real guys back on Sundays.

And then, you know, I had just been starting out there for like two or three years. And I was like, all my friends are gonna lose a day. And I'm only gonna see him once a week kind of a thing. So I'm working here so much. And so then I started this mic on Tuesdays, right around the time Kill Tony started on Mondays. Yeah, so me and Tony were both working.

Tony actually trained me at the Comedy Store. Really? I know you guys go way back, like just from, you know, doing my research on you. I know that you and Kill Tony are intermingled in ways, but so you guys started like at the same time, you guys were doing- Legitimately. I think Tony starts six months before I do in Los Angeles.

I start down in San Diego in La Jolla and he would come down all the time, like doing spots, opening up for like big name guys. Big name guys, I guess like it was Jeff Garland and Pauly Shore at the time. But those were big names. That's right. There was a time when Pauly Shore was not the weasel

and would sell comedy clubs. Cause it was my very first comedy show was Pauly Shore. And he bummed a camel light off me. That's right. Yes, it's a weird story. But anyway, go ahead. So you and Kil Tony are kind of doing back to back nights and you lose a night and then you're like,

I have to find a different format so I can hang out with my friends. Yeah, it became a Renaissance really. It was, he just wanted to give, he had this thing, it was basically, it was Hinchcliffe's Notes. That's what the original title was basically of Kil Tony because he wanted to just like give notes to comics

who were aspiring and like trying to do their thing because he was the king of the open mic you know he's the king of the back of the room that's you had to kill Tony if you want to go forward you know especially the comedy store and then I didn't even really see kill Tony too tough because I wasn't really trying to get an open mic scene anymore I was like trying to get out of it or just you know leave my own open mic you're so I had your rent? Exactly. Open mics don't pay anything. You know, those are free things.

But yeah, so then I started mine and then, yeah, we had this thing at midnight where two guys who didn't like each other would wanna just like kind of battle each other. And the origin of that is there was an employee there named Josh Martin and a new comic who was underage, we didn't know, named Kenny Lyon. Oh, and Kenny was very annoying to Josh. And Josh is very annoying to everybody. Josh is drunk one

night he comes in. He's like, Hey, that kid on the stage. He's not even 21. He's got to go. And we're like, Wait, what? He's been there for like six months. Oh, no. Don't shut me down. Right. And then I was like, and then the kid says, he's like, why turn 21 on Wednesday? He's like, and I'm gonna come back and beat your ass. And I was like, hold it, wait till next Tuesday. Do it on stage.

Exactly. Yeah. Wow. I wanted them to slap box. Yeah. Yeah. That was the original roast battle. I was like, I wanted them to get on stage

and slap box each other. Hit it, yeah. Whoever wins, yeah, that's what we're gonna do every midnight. That's mad standing. Yeah. Holy shit. But then you couldn't have an actual fight club in a comedy club. We would've got like shut down for real. Right. Was Mitzi running the store at that time? No, no, no. Mitzi was, she was running it in spirit.

Oh, okay. She had passed away at that point. No, no, no. She was still alive. Just in spirit she was running it in spirit. Oh, okay. She had passed away at that point. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. She was still alive just in spirit. She was running it. Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah, like Polly and Peter and Sammy and Sandy. I think, yeah, the kids were running it at that point. Gotcha.

Taking over. So yeah, she'd never seen it, but we had met before. She was, she's funny. Yeah, by all accounts, a wonderful woman who helped a lot of people. Yeah, there was that documentary. Especially in the eighties. Yeah, she was that documentary. Especially in the 80s. Yeah, she was, I mean, I've never met her,

but obviously she's in comedy history. She will go down. Oh yeah, legend. So these two slapbox, and then like, does it just kind of like slowly start to take off? People are like, oh, well. So they don't slapbox, they don't slapbox. They-

Oh, I'm sorry, they roast. Yeah. Because they, well, they just install cameras. It's a crazy thing. In 2013, there was, yeah, they installed like security they just installed cameras. It's a crazy thing. In 2013, they installed security cameras finally for the first time at the counter. So hard.

And I was like, and that's the only reason that didn't happen. The only reason that we didn't slapbox, the reason that Roast Battle exists is because the counter store a week prior had put cameras up and I was like, why don't these guys just seem to be fighting in here? I'm gonna get banned.

You're like, wait a second, we could get sued't want these guys to see me fighting in here. I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get like banned. I'll be like, yeah. You're like, wait a second, we could get sued and what happened to all the Coke dealers, right? Right. Yeah, where'd they go? Where did they go? So yeah, so then basically I said, actually, you know what guys, don't slapbox.

They just put cameras in this thing. How about this, you guys, we're comics. You guys talk shit, you know, talk shit to each other. Yeah. And then since it's like 50 of us in this room we'll treat like a Roman Coliseum and if it's good we'll yay and if it's bad we'll nay so that's how it really happened and then those guys were so bad at it literally there was like a line of comics who just emailed me or DM me at the time we're like hey I could do

that we just I don't like this this guy. Can I battle this guy? Me and my friend wanna do this. Can we battle this guy? And that's how it happened. Every Tuesday since July 23rd, 2013, we've been roast battling in the Comedy Street. That's incredible. So that just kinda grows super organically.

And now there are, for those that don't know, the Roast Battle League, and stop me if I'm wrong, has clubs, so to speak, all around the world. And those clubs fight to be the best roast battle of the week, gathering points. And then there's some kind of championship, whoever. Do you guys have like a final like roast off?

Oh yeah. So this is the second season. So season one, yeah, I think runs from like March 1st to November 1st. It's like the baseball season. It's crazy long. Yeah, right. But we get so much content, so we had to make it that long.

Sure. And there were so many factions of roast battle happening all around the world. Instead of just being like, hey, you can't use it, we're just like, let's just brand it, you know? And if you're good, we'll put you in the league. And if you're shitty, we'll just be like, ah, maybe next year kind of a thing. So there were eight really good clubs we'd seen initially last year Or 12 really and then so we said, you know what? Let's make this a league like a league of just roast battling and so they would send their It was fun man, I'll be my boy Pat Barker. He's the lead commissioner. He's I call The LeBron James a roast battling. He's just really good at it. He knows how to break it down

He can he can run plays and roast battle He's got the teleprompter. He's going, look at this guy, scared shitless, not going to, not brains working over time. He's really good. I've watched, I now watch a number of episodes of, of RBL. I really enjoy it because you guys break, literally break down the teams every week and then you're, you're showing clips or sometimes entire battles, like the entire thing you're showing it and then kind of breaking it down and saying well this is why it's good this

is why it's bad this is why it's just fucking strange. Exactly it's a joke writing showcase so we get to really just kind of dissect joke writing you know why joke writing works why charisma can work sometimes over joke writing why joke writing can work over charisma? How crowd work or interaction can work sometimes in a roast battle, how that might not work in a roast battle, how being awkward can work out to your opponent, how it can create inertia, you know, and momentum. You know, there's there's so many elements of it. That's why the roast battle is its own genre of the comedy. I mean, so pillar in the comedy genre, because it really does incorporate a lot of elements,

but really at the end of the day, it's just a joke writing showcase. It's just you and your subject writing about each other. And then everything around you is kind of doing everything else in comedy from standup set up, or sorry, sorry, set up punch. You've got your, you've got improv happening. You've got prop comedy.

You've got sound effects. There's all kinds of stuff happening around. To some degree, it's crowd work, not necessarily with the crowd, but you're working with another human being and reacting to what's going on in the moment Yeah, and and you know, I think that Roasting when it's done beautifully is you just laugh so hard like some of those roasts that you everyone is seeing on Comedy Central Whatever channel you've been watching them You know some of those when when it hits when someone's on a roll and they're hitting

and the jokes are well crafted, it's really fucking funny. I mean, it can be really fucking, and brutal, but funny. It's the work of art, yeah. Yeah, it's the work of art. Do you do roasting? Do you get up there a lot too? I don't. I like the writing element of it.

So we've had so many, so back in the 20 teens, back in the old days. Back in the old days. Back when TV was still a thing. Back before glory holes. Those will never leave. No, no, no. They've been in their cats out of the bag.

It's not going back in. Now we'll have AI glory holes on a Saturday. Oh, it's coming. Sex, robot, space opera, next big tent pole movie. I'm calling it. It's coming and so am I. What was I saying? No, we're talking about the joke writing.

Yeah, so really it's just more about the joke writing for me. So I've done a lot of writing on roasts, right? Like the, I hate to say this, but that Jonas Brothers family roast. I wrote on that though That's on that one. Yeah. The thing that broke up, yeah, what's his name? Not Nick, the other one. Yes.

Joe. Yeah, Joe and Sophie. Yeah, those Sophie jokes? Yeah, I wrote a lot of those Sophie jokes. Oh, you did? Yeah, because she was the only one that wanted anything remotely hard. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, everybody else kind of wanted to be safe and Nick wanted to write his own jokes, but for the most yeah, yeah. Yeah, everybody else wanted to be safe and Nick wanted to write his own jokes, but for the most part, Sophie was like, give me the hardest jokes you have. I'm trying to break my marriage up. Oh, and then it worked. Obviously, did she say that? No, she didn't.

She was like, I'm game for anything. That was the joke we had in the writers room. She was like, oh, she doesn't like him. They're not gonna be together very long. If you had that road, she would joke about it. Like, they're not gonna be together very long. Because nobody wanted, yeah, because it was like me and another guy were just like, it was just the darkest jokes and they were like, nobody's gonna take these.

And then Sophie was like, what are these? I'll take those. Love it. That's amazing. Divorce my roast. Divorce my roast. Divorce my roast. They should have the checklist on the divorce paperwork. You know, people's like, I'm gonna go with you. That was sweet. Divorce my roast. Divorce my roast. Divorce my roast. We should have the checklist on the divorce paperwork.

You know, people was like, in irreconcilable differences, you know, infidelity. Roasted me too hard. Roasted me too hard. Told the truth. Right. Told the truth in front of millions of people. I think Joe's doing okay for himself.

Yeah, he's fine. Yeah. Everybody's seen his, you know, his middle-sized penis on the internet, so yeah. He he he he. We. Uh, everyone's seen his, you know, his, his middle sized penis on the internet. So yeah, we had to bring that up a lot. That was tough. I love a good Joe roast because my wife loves him. So I, I roast Joe all the time on the show, but you know, if you want to come on, okay, good. It's good. You didn't know, but now you know, um,

but yeah, man. Um, so no, I don't, I don't get in the ring a lot. Yeah, you did. It's good. You didn't know, but now you know. But yeah, man. So no, I don't get in the ring a lot. A buddy of mine, he used to be a roast battler. Hormoz Rashidi used to say, oh yeah, those who can't roast, host. Host. But I'm hosting a lot and just kind of doing some things off the cuff. Yeah, I mean, for Roast Battle season one through three on Comedy Central back in 2016 to 2019, I was in the writer's room. Roast Battle UK with Jimmy Carr. for Rose Battle season one through three on Comedy Central back in 2016 through 2019. I was in the writer's room,

Rose Battle UK with Jimmy Carr, I was in the brand for four seasons, I was in the writer's room for that. So writing the Rose jokes are fun, actually getting in there and feeling them. I don't wanna know things about me that people think about me. I'm not a gladiator like that.

He's just a gladiator. Well. You're the man behind the gladiator like that. You guys are gladiators. Well. You're the man behind the gladiators. If you were a gladiator, you'd get an opportunity to pin the dick in the ass, but since you're not, because that's where the glory holes started. But. For the listener that doesn't know

why we're talking about glory holes. The listener has no idea why we're talking about glory holes. The listener has no idea why we're talking about glory holes. We had a whole thing about glory holes before. Brian, who notoriously spends 90% of his time on the internet ignoring his children. Brian with a Y. Brian with a Y. I was gonna say Brian spends most of his time,

90% of his time at glory holes. Yeah, I thought I should clarify. I'm old, I couldn't spend 90% of my time, 7% of my time. Brian with a Y just watches documentaries about glory holes. Yes, something weird turns me on about a glory hole. I think the mystique is pretty obvious, stick it in and see what comes, literally. Surprise, surprise.

What's that phobia of people who are scared of holes? Oh yeah, yes, I know about this, I read about it one time. Some people are really fearful of anything round, like holes. They hate it. Isn't that weird? People are fucked up. I think it's all the microplastics. I swear to God, I think. My dad, your dad, everybody's dad or mom or whatever, we didn't grow up and hear Oprah Oprah Winfrey talking about, you know, the fear of holes. You know what I'm saying? There's just like so many manifestations of weird isms that all of these children are presenting now and young adults.

Just leave it to TLC. Yeah, it's all about, it's all fucking TLC's fault. They all point out all the weird bullshit. If I can get my, if I can get my scientist hat on, I mean, we are a species that's, you know, made to survive. So I think we're not running hat on, I mean, we are a species that's made to survive. So I think we're not running from lions, tigers, and bears to make stuff up like, oh my God, this person's love bombing me or oh my God. That's a pretty smart observation, actually. I like that one.

And you're probably right about this. We don't have any inherent fears anymore. We are certainly the alpha. There's nothing that we're afraid of except for, you know, white guys with machine guns. And so the, uh, Apex Predator. Yeah. The Apex Predator, the white man with the AR-15.

Oh, that's an Apex Predator right there. So you still, do you still stay in touch with Tony? I saw, I think I saw you on one of his episodes. Yeah, I was just with Tony over the weekend, actually. Oh, you wanted to kill Tony? No, no, he was playing, just hanging out. He was doing a club down in San Diego before I went to Austin for the weekend

to go do the Arsenal game. We just had the first ever roast battle all-star game. Before we did that, I was hanging out with Tony in San Diego, he was doing the La Jolla Comedy Store and he's doing... The same one? Yeah! Where we met! Full circle. So when he's not filling arenas, he's at the La Jolla Comedy Store.

So it's funny because... To kill Tony has taken off. It's crazy. Yeah. So yeah, the La Jolla Comedy Store fills like 200 people, but I think Tony had a, not a bet, but like a deal with the owner of the club, Peter Schor, and he was just like, if you can get me the condo that you don't give to comics anymore, I will do your club.

And he's like, deal. And so they just, yeah, they just like, it's just a free big money weekend for them basically. Yeah. Yeah. So he did it. He did it for no reason. He just said, yeah, I just want your condo on the beach and I'll do six shows.

Wow. Now, give me the condo, like I stay there for the time I'm there or give me the condo like give me the condo. It's just the condo in La Jolla, so that says it all. Yeah, that's true. I love La Jolla. You hear it. Yeah, so this condo, it's on Pacific Beach,

like right on the coast, wake up. I mean, so much nonsense has happened on that thing I mean like I remember Steve ran is easy and like Sebastian Maniscalco used to like throw like water balloons full Who knows what people? The stories of just like some of the guys used to work in school I mean just the things they would do at that comedy at at that comedy condo, the Robin Williams of the world. Yeah. Yeah.

It's great. The history. Sam Kinnison fucked a fish, did blow off his eyeballs and then threw that into the ocean. The ocean. Yeah. No, no. He fucked a bandfish.

Yeah. Wow. Well, those guys are a little crazy, you know? They're probably into something like that. But you're no slouch yourself. I mean, 11 years of doing something consistently at that such a famed iconic club has got to feel accomplished in some way. I mean, you must be proud of yourself.

You had now had two Comedy Central shows, one here and then one in the UK, right? Was the one with Russell Brand. Were you also, how did Comedy Central, did you pitch them the idea? Did they come to you and say, hey, let's do this? No, it took a long time actually. It was Jeff Ross.

So Jeff Ross comes in about six months after we start. He had a girlfriend at the time who was one of our best roast battlers. And I remember asking because we were friends mutually through our buddy Sarah Silverman. And she's like, you got to bring Jeff in over there. I was like, I would love to bring Jeff. So I emailed, she's like, here's his email.

So I emailed Jeff and he was like, ah, I'm busy, man. By the way, didn't even know the day I was always asking. He's like, I'm busy. Maybe later. Well, just so you know, it's going to be on this date and Virginia's battling as his girlfriend at the time I was like she's battling so If you could be there, it'd be great. He's like, I'm not gonna be there. I'm on the road and then just by chance Brett Ernst who's on Cobra Kai

Yeah, he drops out because he was like, I don't want to do this. He's like, this is like, what is this? This is crazy And then Jeff Ross came in with his girlfriend, completely forgot he said no to me. Completely forgot I had emailed him, came up and said, hey, can I judge this? This looks awesome. I was like, of course you can. Yes, they are accepting the invitation.

And then, yeah, two of his favorite roast writers, Yasser Lester and Benji Aflalo were both battling. And then the next day, I remember like this is yesterday, December 18th, 2023, no, sorry, 2013, he gets me up, he's like, hey, my show just got canceled in Comedy Central called The Burn. So I'm moving back to New York,

but I just saw this show you have, and this is something I haven't seen in a long, long time. It makes me feel like I could put this on TV." He's like, give me two weeks till the new year. I'll let you know if I want to make this a TV show with you. Wow. Oh my God. We're so excited. And then literally, January 6th, 2013.

It was actually January 6th. January 6th, 2.34 PM. It was. It was January 6th, 2014. He. It was, it was January 6th, 2014. He hit me up and he was like, he's like, hey, I wanna do this. So then we started working on making it a TV show and then two years later Comedy Central put us on air. Yeah, well, I do remember,

I remember watching it and Jeff, you know, he's the face of that show. Yeah, I love Jeff. Oh yeah. The funny thing is when you're saying, telling us that story, I can like hear Jeff's voice saying those things. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not available.

Who are you? Exactly, yeah. Yeah, I know Sarah. So does a lot of people, what does that make you? Right. I can't hear him saying that. And Jeffrey Robson is a big deal. So then you guys sell at the Comedy Central.

What is the, do you enjoy working on television? Like, is that a good thing for you? Do you like the writing and the, did you, do you enjoy working on television? Like is that a good thing for you? Do you like the writing and the, I mean, obviously the probably the money's, it's gonna be central. So I'm sure the money's not like $10 million. And that's- There's no money. Yeah.

There's no money. There's no money in Comedy Central? What? You don't say. There's a platform. Yeah, it's a platform. I'll say this, B, When TV was a thing, right? Back in the last decade, it was great.

I mean, as somebody who's never been on there, and kids you all dream to be on TV, right? It's fun, man. The whole process is magic. You don't really understand the process that you're there and how long and arduous it can be. People are yelling at you because there's so many moving pieces, you know, there's so many personalities. And everything depends on everything else. And so if you're one second late

or not holding your end to the bargain, they're like, fuck dude, you're costing us, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars, you gotta get going or whatever. Exactly, so yeah, TV's amazing. I mean, I'll never get over how amazing TV is. It sucks that it's like, you know, it's not gonna be here anymore,

but it was great when we had it for 70 years. I'm going to, I'm going to push back on this idea a little bit. And I talk about this sometimes on the show. I think television as like the way that you and I grew up, television, right? Sesame Street, ABC, NBC, CBS is not going to be around for very much longer. There'll be small channels and certain people will watch it

because it's just, you know, that's just it. It's got tenure. But I think that all of these streaming giants will soon start to fall one by one because it's really hard to make money. We've seen it. Like Netflix hasn't made money until like three years ago it didn't make money.

And they can't just continue to push out billions and billions of dollars worth of content for trying to get everybody. When you try and be everything to everybody, you're nothing to nobody. So Netflix may survive, but it will be a more traditional channel. Look, they already have scheduled shows. Now you watch something every Saturday night, right?

HBO has gone back to doing the same thing. Disney plus HBO, maybe they survive, but I think everybody's going to start plugging in again to some degree. Maybe it's on the internet or DirecTV stream or whatever it is, to get maybe not necessarily live TV in the way that we think about it but they will have one place where they go to watch all the things and Netflix will be another channel and HBO Max will be another channel because you can get everything on demand, that's gonna stay but I think we've proven that paying $79.99 a fucking month for 73 different applications

is not a sustainable business model because who is that kind of cash? Well, it's just going back to cable. It's essentially cable. There's a provider, a distributor, it comes to your house, you flip the channel. And if you can get stuff on demand, that's a thing that will stay.

But I just, I don't know, we'll see. But that's my prediction. Because people like what's easy. And who the fuck wants 75 different streaming places to go watch something anyway? They don't. They don't. They don't.

But what I mean by the downfall of TV, not so much like the streaming's coming up. I mean connected TV. I'm talking about, you know, like they say, the demographic 15 to 24, right? Within the next six to 10 years, that will be like the new adults 32% of them only watch connected TV that means what yes over 60 almost 70% of them are not watching a connected TV they're only

looking at the TV screen yeah they only watch YouTube or things like YouTube they're watching gaming and in in twitch and in the other ones right there are all those things. I think you're right in this sense. I think you're right in this sense is that there are so many places to divide your attention now that appointment TV is no longer there, right? It's just not a thing anymore. So, did you guys, I don't know,

did you do well in the ratings specific to Comedy Central when you guys had the roast battle? The UK did. So I'll say, so linear overseas still does really well. I mean, we still get hit up about like, hey, you think we could do something with America and overseas because roast battle does really well over here still.

Cable does really well. TV does really, connected TV does really well over there. That's traditional. Yeah. That's, I think you've talked to, you know, even Amazon, Netflix and Hulu, they're still, they're outsourcing a lot of their projects on all really well over there. That's traditional. Yeah. That's the, if you've talked to, you know, even Amazon, Netflix and Hulu, they're still, they're outsourcing a lot of their projects and all their TV over there because

the advertising does really well over there because people are still watching TV like it's classic TV over there. Over here, because we're content junkies, we're looking at what's the next YouTube. What's the next Netflix style thing that can be a YouTube. But as far as... Yeah, it's really just about overseas.

We killed it overseas and we were the highest rated television program in Comedy Central history overseas. Nice. Do you still stay in touch with Russell Brand? No, no, no, no. Russell's... He's like, no, no, no, don't even go there. He's like, no, no, no. Russell's in a bunker right now.

Yeah. I saw him in that bunker a couple of days ago. He was like on it. That's right, you started their divorce. You still have contact with Russell. Who does? I know, right? I'm the one guy, like, oh, she found the guy.

Yeah, I found the dude. We were just together last week. Oh my God, oh Russell. Oh, you naughty, naughty boy, Russell. You almost got him. You almost got him. He came real close. This close. They almost got me. They tried. They... Listen, okay, I'll leave Russell behind. I don't want to piss more of my listeners off.

But I do have to say that at one point, Russell was really like explosive and funny. Like he really came on the scene and it was like, who the fuck is this dude? With the crazy hair and the weird philosophies and you know, he had so much fucking energy. And I'm sure he was good. And he married into Katy Perry. Oh man, he's awesome.

I mean, I met him, yeah, when I met him, he was, he's the nicest human you could possibly meet, very smart. You can tell, and you could tell he's funny and very smart because he's analyzing everything in a very comedic way or a very intellectual way. Everything he does, he doesn't really waste syllables a lot, doesn't waste words, he's very intentional with what he says, and he's very dialed in and funny.

That guy didn't write anything and everything he said was A plus. Wow. Like off the wall funny. Just, I mean, you, oh, this is why you're a superstar because you're not writing anything down. Everything you're saying sounds like it could be on a script. Yeah.

And I tend to think that like some of the, there's like two different types of comedians to me. There are people who are funny and there are people who are poignant and funny, like Dave Chappelle, right? He can sit there for 15 minutes on a stool, or 20 minutes, or 30 minutes, and talk about how HBO or Turner, or whoever was,

fucked him, right? And it can come out, as important as a president addressing a nation, it's just, it's like as if it was written word for word, but none of it's written. It's a cigarette and a bourbon, right? And there are people in our history whose minds work like that.

They see things from a perspective that I think most people, it alludes them for their entire life. But these people are so dialed in, they get it. And take away all the controversy around Russell Brand. He was one of those people where he would just say stuff and it was like, that get it and take away all the controversy around Russell Brand. He was one of those people where you could, he would just say stuff and it was like, that's brilliant and funny. Like you have to think and laugh at the same time.

Yeah. Yeah. It was huge to have him, man. And he hadn't been on a television in the UK in like six or seven years, I guess. So it was like his date. It was his return to television in the UK. So I think that's why it blew up like it did that first season. Yeah. Okay. A couple of questions for you. Have you ever had a physical fight happen at one of the roasts around the world? I have to know. I gotta imagine this has happened at some point. All right. No, but there has been physical contact. So there's three rules in roast battle, right? There's original material only. You can't do any internet jokes, no Yama jokes,

nothing like that you can't no Carlos Mencia no Carlos Mencia that was the that was the first one was like we don't hear before we're all comics we all know exactly yeah we don't know that yeah I go below the surface a little bit and then number two is nothing's off limits except for physical contact and then at the end of the battle, we hug to dissipate any, you know, any of that. Yeah. But there was one time, but there's one time it was one time. Yeah. It was a Kim Congdon and Jen Sturge. Now Jen Sturge is famous because she's the college reporter who Brett Favre showed his dick to. Oh yeah.

Oh yeah. Yeah. Chris is like, oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The opposite of Hawk Toa. She's like, I'm not gonna spit on that thing. Yeah, right.

I have no interest in it. Whatever that is. Put it back in its hood. Yeah, and Jen became a hell of a comic, right? Like she tours now, she's very funny, and she was willing to do everything, willing to get made fun of, willing to go into roast, was really into roast writing and joke writing. And so she was kind of a staple in the roast battle in the early days.

So she was battling everybody and just like, you know, willing to take all those jokes, pardon the pun on the chin. Right. And then Kim is obviously a hell of a roast writer. She's been, she wrote a couple of the comedy central rows. She's been on she wrote a couple of the Comedy Central Roast. She's been on roast battle season two or three, I think. Like Kim's a monster when it comes to it. Yeah, I know Kim, yeah. I mean, I'm just like Kim.

I don't know her personally, but. So they didn't like each other. And I think this was like a hot, it was like a hot girl beef, right? Yeah. It was like, why do they think you're better looking than me kind of a thing? Why, my thirst traps are better than your thirst traps.

Ah. So they started battling and it was basically Kim had like a crew of like other like hot girls with her and Jen came alone, you know, and then at the end of the battle they hugged or whatever or they didn't. I think they shook hands and then one of Kim's entourage pushed Jen and then Jen called the cops and then, uh, yeah, it was a whole thing. And then people thought that was a big brawl that happened. Yeah. Why do third parties always get involved with me?

Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, what does that do with you? Like a third party, you see that a lot. The only other time I could think of is, uh, I was talking about this last night. Actually, it was, uh, the local news had missed, had messed up and said that, um, we had caused a murder. Oh what? Yeah so somebody had gotten somebody rest in peace this person but this person there was a beef happening in another show at the comedy store and that thing had uh matriculated down the

street and then I guess they had come back to the comedy store and then that guy found him and then shot that guy at the comedy store murdered then that guy found him and then shot that guy at the comedy store. Whoa. Murdered him. Yeah. But because we were the only show going on at the time when the news showed up, it was because of us.

I think they thought it was bad. God. Yeah. Murder at the roast. Local roast battle causes murder. Turns murderous. God. There's only two things local news stations know how to do.

Bullshit and give you inaccurate weather forecasts. Yeah. I'm sure of it. I'm sure of it. Oh my God, that's fucked up. So they just made some random connection because you happened to be in the building doing a rose battle that clearly this must have led

to some kind of drama. And then were you like the neighborhood nuisance for a while? People were like, I'm not going there. Yeah, no, it was like that. It was like, they were like, no, I don't want to get shot. Jeez, oh God. No, but at that time we were still on TV, so I think we were good.

I remember that point, it was the Oddball Festival, which was like this huge comedy festival going on. And Jeff Ross, Anthony Jeslin, like and Tiffany Haddish, it all just like came in on helicopter. Wow. Like 15 minutes prior down from down the street. Wow. And this was like right before this guy gets shot and just like, wow, I can't believe you guys almost got shot. That was crazy. Yeah. But they were like, why did we come here today? They were like, what's going on? The helicopter touched down and then went back up.

Yeah. Why exactly did we use our helicopter time to come here? Right, yeah, they didn't know. Tiffany Haddish showing up in a helicopter. That is a funny image in my head. But one I could see, Tiffany Haddish, huge star. What is the funniest single, if you, I mean, or if you can, whatever, the funniest that you can remember right now

Single roast you've heard like single funniest roast line Yeah, so there's a an able-bodied battler and a not able-bodied battle The not able-bodied battler has cerebral palsy and then the able-bodied guy says this to him. He says Joe Is going to hell? Because there's a stairway to heaven Because Joe's in a wheelchair Just got to see like a guy standing up with a guy in a wheelchair saying like, this guy's going to hell. It's just a stairway to heaven. It's just like, there's so many great layers to that. Oh my God.

Oh my God. I was explaining to Chrissy what, because we were talking about you and we were prepping for the show yesterday and I was telling her what Kill Tony is. Because I was like, listen, I know Brian has been a part of Kill Tony or he's been somehow intermingled with Kill Tony. She's like, what's Kill Tony? And I said, well, let me try to explain exactly what it is. It's a little mishmash of everything. But I said, what I like about Kill Tony is that there's able-bodied, able persons.

It doesn't matter. If you think you're funny. Like all bets are off. All bets are off. I'll give you a couple of minutes, do your thing. We'll give you some pointers. We'll let you roast us. We'll roast you, all that other stuff.

And it's all in good fun. And it's all in good spirit. And everyone's in on the joke. And then I think that's part of the brilliance is it's kind of the comedy is like a great equalizer in some ways. You know, like in golf, they'll say, putting is the great equalizer.

I think that it's the great equalizer in some ways, because if you can laugh at yourself and you can laugh at other people, it's all the same. The laughter feels good no matter what. And that's what I can appreciate about the roast scene. And that's what I can appreciate about Kiltonia, what you're doing. Because I was watching some of these people,

I think it was in Scotland or somewhere, whatever they were. And it was like rough stuff. I mean mean they were really going at each other. Stuff you would not bring up at a dinner party, but it was fucking funny and everyone was laughing, including the guy, or the guy at the time who was getting roasted. He was just laughing because he knew it's just all in good fun. It's a great equalizer. We're here to have time, you know? Yeah, I remember New York during their internet phase in the 2010s, they had this thing called

Roast Masters, right? At the stand. And New York is just, they had this thing, they had this, you just knew a New York style because they were into talking about dead parents or dead siblings. And they just would attack, somebody's like brother or sister would die the day before. That joke was fresh the next day. And, and it would help those people kind of grieve a little bit, you know, because it does kind of just,

it gets rid of this tension inside of you, you know? And we do say this about the Rose Battle, it is that great equalizer in a sense of anybody can get it. Everybody's accepting, we've had everybody. We've had people who are, let's see, Rapalze, HIV positive, trans, black, yellow, brown, women. We've had everybody.

You had women? What? I know. That's really, I protest Chrissy coming in here every day. I hope you do. I'm breaking down the walls. We have a no touch rule. I'm breaking down the walls.

Yes. I don't know why you're not wearing an apron. I think we should roast each other. Oh, we'll roast each other. Yeah, I think we need to. I would love to have you guys on. I would come on into a roast with you, for sure. Would you have us if we decided to come out there and do it?

Would you really? Absolutely, 100%. I feel like you're a new friend to the show. I would come out and do it, and then I would happily have you back to say, you guys suck, and here's why. Oh, we'll break down the battle on your show. Or better yet, Chrissy, Brian can pick two people who he thinks are good writers, because

we're not writer-comedians, right? We can each have somebody on our team that helps us write each other's jokes because we know each other so well. We can go at it. What do you think, Brian? I love this. Okay, we're setting this up. Where can we do this? This is huge.

Next couple months. We'll do it in the next couple months. Yeah? Yes, absolutely. Brian Moses is gonna have us out. We're gonna do a roast battle. Oh my God, I'm so excited. We're gonna get someone on our team.

We'll get- No, this is bad ass! We're gonna get one day to prepare. One day to prepare, and then the next one, we'll come in on like a Sunday. One day. We'll have Monday to prepare. Sorry, Chrissy, one day, that's it. I mean, what do you think? I love it.

Brian and Chrissy battle. All right. I'm excited about this. Yeah. You guys have to do this. Okay. It's on celluloid. We got to do it now. Of course, there's a lot of stuff we said on the show, but not this. That's what our show is though. It's about consent and boundaries, right? So your subject has to consent to the battle and then they have to consent to the boundaries or things that you can or can't say. You can't say something somebody can't say, like they'll tell you usually. And that's what's so great about the show is we never pit people

against each other. It's usually you have to go find your own food, right? They say like, how do I roast battle? Like, oh, go find somebody who's seen the show and knows the concept of the show and then we'll get you guys the date. But really it's about you getting to know this person, understanding their boundaries, or if they have any, or whatever, and then you go from there. We've been friends for 20 years. So I think I get it. I'll probably push the envelope too far.

I'm going in. Oh, you go in. I'm going in. Listen, if you listen to the commercial break, there's nothing I haven't said. We go in, we go in all the time. The person who roasts Brian the most is Brian. So there's not too much you could say

that I haven't already said about myself. Brian, we are- It's why this show is so successful. Yeah, and listen, and thank you for that. We're doing this. Yeah. We are doing this, deal? Deal.

Done, all right. I think the audience would really like this actually. I think the audience would be like, this will be fun. Oh, it'll be super fun and very interesting. And then we'll have Brian on, we'll tape live there. We're gonna bring Christina too. We'll have Brian and either a panel of experts or we'll bring you Christina.

Yeah, they're producers. We'll have a panel of experts and then, or some experts, some people who know this world better. I'm gonna have Christina push you. Oh yeah, I'm sure Christina is our executive, one of our executive producers. And if you listen to like the liners of the show where we transition into the commercial,

like, you know, go to tcbpodcast.com, whatever, blah, blah, blah. There's always a one liner in there that talks about what a shit head I am. She throws it. The listeners love it. They love when Christina talks shit about me. So you can have Christina on your side.

I'm getting a professional. I call it Brian. I'm not a professional, no, Christina's gonna- I call Brian. I call Brian. Christina's gonna be part of my entourage. Okay, she'd be part of your entourage. I'm assuming my wife would probably be part

of your entourage too. Yes. Yes, you need some, you need the inside information. Got the heavy. Limp dick motherfucker. How do they know that about you? My wife. I was like, oh, the local glory hole has been talking.

That's right. Yes. I've got to practice one at my house. Brian, we're doing this, buddy. No doubt we are doing this. Next couple of months before the clock strikes on 2024, we will have this done, wrapped, and out to the audience. And Brian will be-

Can we get a La Jolla? The roast host. What's that? Ooh. Do you want to? Yes. We can do it on La Jolla. Yes!

We do. I want you to do a condo too. Well, I don't know if I'm gonna get a condo. I don't know if we're gonna get a condo. I guess. Brian and Chris, you're coming out. Can we have the condo? Holy shores. You never know until you like, if you lend me a cigarette.

A camel light, yeah. A camel light. That was a weird night, but Paulie would, Paulie did his thing. It was like right out of his weasel phase, right? Like right. Oh, he was prime him then. Oh yeah.

I was like 13, 14 years old, and my friend's mom owned a local theater here called Center Stage Theater, like 500 seats, 600 seats. And he came to do a show, and she thought that he was like, the thing that the teenager's like, which it was. Well, was he on MTV then, too? Either he was on or he had just left. Okay, yeah.

And so we went backstage and he was there, and then we happened to be smoking cigarettes at the time. You know, everybody smoked cigarettes at that time. But- Ontario, what was it, France? Yeah. Go to the US? Atlanta is Paris.

Yes, that's. I'll pull. Brian, you can see Brian if you're in LA at the Comedy Store every Tuesday night, 11 years and running. Please go support our friend Brian Moses and the crew. Go to your website.

Me too. I'm sure I won't be as excited three minutes before we go on stage. I'm excited right now. You better be ready.

I'm bringing the heat. I'm quick. I got a fast mouth. All right. But you got a fast brain. So together it should be interesting in some way, shape or form. Brian Moses, my friend, thank you very much for, uh, thank you for coming on and thank you for inviting us.

We really appreciate it. Great conversation. Thank you. Chrissy and Brian, Brian and Chrissy, you guys are the best. Love the commercial break. It should, there's no, yeah, it should be no commercial breaks. You guys should just go ad free. Yeah.

Well, we tried that one time. We tried that one time and the listeners said, I'd rather listen to the advertisers than pay you. That's, you guys are. That would be fair, that was four years ago. But you know, we shied away from it after that experience. We were like, eh, it's too much work. Let's just, plus you have to put out extra content

and we're already doing this four days a week. How much more content can we put out? We can't. Four days a week? Four days a week. That's, content can we put out? We can't. Four days a week? My God. Four days a week. That's why we're so popular, is because we put out 7,000 hours of content a day.

You guys aren't married? This is crazy. No, best friends. No, if we were married, we'd kill each other. That's for sure. And maybe we will. We never even dated. Maybe there's another murder in La Jolla.

We'll figure it out. Yeah. Well, you guys never dated either? No. No. Never dated. No, we worked together, became best friends, and the time kind of, he was married at the time and-

I was married, I got divorced, then we hit Atlanta hard for about five years. Yeah. And- I was dating other people, you were dating other people, then you got married, and so yeah, just always best friends. It's a true friendship. It can happen, believe it or not, it can happen. So this rose petal will be like the first date.

It will be the, yeah. It'll be like Chrissy and I getting out all that tension for many years. Exactly. 20 years. 20 years. Oh my God, our spouses are gonna kill us. They really are, this is great, I love this. They're gonna love it.

There are gonna be so many undertones to this and it's going to live on in commercial break lore and hopefully it's entertaining for Brian and his crew too. You're the best. We'll see you in La Jolla. I will email you. Thank you, Brian. We really appreciate it. Thank you, Brian and Christian.

As always, don't forget that you can find everything you could possibly need to find on our beautiful website, tcbpodcast.com. Bye. Well, I think we just got ourselves into a whole shitload of trouble.

We're getting on. Do not write this in the notebook. This can never go in the notebook. I'm not touching the notebook. Don't even look at the notebook. I'm looking at the notebook, but I'm not touching it. Ah! I'm throwing it on the floor.

It's like a hot potato. I'm throwing it on the floor. Get away! Get away, notebook. You're no good for us. You're no good for us unless we don't really want to do it, but we just say we might do it. Yeah, that's the treaty.

This we must do. You know why we must do this? Every once in a while, you got to release the steam and release the valve, right? And this is a way to do it that we've never done it before. And I do think that the audience deserves, deserves this roast, actually. And it was such a good idea. It was yours. I will remind you for now until the end of time. I know.

So if we end- I think it'll be fun. If we end the commercial break at like episode number 625 after the roast, I'll just remember that it was Chrissy's fault. Remember, Joe Jonas broke up his marriage because of the roast that Brian did, so he's probably angling for the same thing here. He's like, I'm going to get in Brian's seat, one Brian for another. We're going to take them down. Chrissy's going to be like, you want gonna get in Brian's seat. One Brian for another. We're gonna take them down.

Chris is gonna be like, you wanna do commercial break with me? Not commercial break, but commercial break with me? What a ride. And the thing about it is too, is that La Jolla then I think deserves a quick trip down to Tijuana. Oh my God.

I didn't even think about that. Could we get- If you know, you know. A-I-K-N-Y-D-Y-K-N-Y. Oh my God, I didn't even think about that. You know, if you know, you know. I-K-N-Y-D-Y-K-N-Y. If we go to La Jolla, we will spend an extra day there so that we can go to Tijuana and I will recreate for you, I will not be buying those pills, but I will recreate for you the journey that I took up until the sketchy alley.

Well, I'm going to go as far as Carlos and Charlie's or whatever. Carlos and Charlie's. Senior Frogs. Senior Frogs. Yeah. Okay, you stay at Senior Frogs. You be my friend. You recreate the thing,

and you can call and check in with me. Oh, I'll do it. Now that we have better phones and stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. I love it. We will go down to Tijuana. We will videotape every bit of it.

This has to be professionally videotaped. We're probably gonna have to spend a little bit of money on this, but I think we all deserve it. I think, and let's be honest about it, we've never been invited by any of our guests to do anything. I mean, they all say come to our show, but have my people call your people kind of bullshit, which is like, okay, that means call ticket master. That's what that really means. But we are going to do this. Brian, what a lovely gentleman, by the way.

Oh my God. He's so easy to talk to, so funny, down to earth. I love it. I loved it. And he called me B. He did call you B. I caught that. And only my really good friends call me B. That's like a term of endearment. I don't know if he means it as a term of endearment, but I'll put words in his mouth. It's a term of endearment. And I really enjoyed our conversation with him. I think you're going to be hearing a lot more Brian Moses on the commercial break coming up in the back half

of the year. Wow. Go to Roast Battles, go check it out. Yeah, I'm already so excited about this. I know, it's very exciting. I can't even contain my excitement. Now that'll be tempered when I tell my wife this and she goes, what the fuck are you getting yourself into?

Yeah, I was like, what? Yeah, she's like like you are such a baby You cannot handle that you're not gonna be able to do that, but I'm not really I roast myself all the time on the show I'll be able to have such shiny object syndrome. We're like we're doing a live show But we are gonna do we are going to do we are going to do why not? How can we pass up the opportunity? I mean it it was a direct invite. He seemed excited. Yes. I was surprised.

The second you said that, he was like, come, I'll get you the condo. Yeah. I had to throw the condo in there. They're not going to get us a condo. I can guarantee that will not happen. I had to ask. If Tony Huncliffe had to do six shows in a row,

they're going to be like, who are these fucking nudics you're going to put up in our condo? I don't know, They think they're hot. Yeah. They think they're hot. And they think they're funny. All right. TCB podcast.com. Listen, we finally got the date straightened out for the Florida leg of our live shows. I will be announcing those in the next couple of shows. Yes, we did.

Also, if you would mind, youtube.com slash the commercial break. Take that right on that. There you go. Yep. Okay, Chrissy, that's all I can do for today. I think so. I'll tell you that I love you. I love you.

Best to you. Best to you. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Get ready for that roast because it's coming. Until next time, Chrissy and I always say, we do say and we must say, goodbye. Hahahaha!
