She does PowerPoint presentations to find friends, cries from joy on football fields across America, and has an extra tooth.
Starting point is 00:09:22 She's Lucy Rodine. and has an extra tooth, she's Lucy Rodine. He's the handsome nemesis of Billy Gill, a cubanito meathead, who is the object of lecherous desires none of us new stew got still had. Ten Day Tony! She can do the nation's finest F1 minute in French. College football coverage in too much Irish and has 494 favorite teams. She also has feet. She's Jessica's Montana!
Starting point is 00:10:11 He's a Nepo baby worth 50 million dollars, the fruit of my cobweb loins. I love him like a son, baby. He's Chris Cody. He's the father of Princess Claire and a hockey fan who's show might appear after some games on an occasional Friday. He's King Roy Bellamy. He's a lighthouse of positivity with a questionable taste and at least a couple of his tattoos. Again, some love for Juju Gotti! He's afraid of everything except anarchy. He's Billy Gill.
Starting point is 00:11:03 He's a despicable scoundrel stuffed with unending lies. But we all love him anyway. He's Stugots! Oh, I almost forgot somebody. Hang on. Who's that other guy again? Who am I introducing? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Dan Levitar, everybody. Dan Levitar. And you know it. Dan Levitar. Dan Levitar. Dan Levitar. Dan Levitar. Dan Levitar.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Dan Levitar. Dan Levitar. Dan Levitar. Dan Levitar. Dan Levitar. Dan Levitar. And you know it. Thank you dad, thank you dad, thank you dad, thank you dad, thank you dad, thank you dad. Thanks dad. We're playing Vegas during the Super Bowl. Are you kidding me? Let's go! We had three legendary music acts yesterday.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Wayne Newton, Wu Tang, Flavor Flav, and the only one performing music. They were here to listen to him perform his new Vegas act, Greg Cote. Greg Cote. Greg Cote as Flav called him. That's a fine. And the He-Ha 3. Yeah. Poor family 2 because Greg didn't understand what he was doing when he named the fan. We do know it, thank you. Thank you for who you are, that we know anywhere we go, you're going to land with us. I think I can speak for the group when we meet you afterward and we're going to do this today, we're going to talk to you. You move us deeply when you tell us if you jump, we will catch you wherever you guys go because you listen to us from there
Starting point is 00:13:13 and you love us and so now we do this uncomfortable dance for you. I kind of want to jump. I wish the stage was closer so I could jump like you guys should try. I want to jump. Try it. You always try to people with your athleticism. Jump. Jump. Jump. Jump. Jump. Jump.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Maybe some pillows out here. I'll do a later show. We'll build up. Jump. Billy already stood on the chair that was spinning. We were chopping this character of crowd work Chris. Yep. Trying to.
Starting point is 00:13:41 We should maybe, can we move this? Tyler, let's move the stage a little closer if we could mid-show, thank you. Yeah, Tyler, do that. Forgive me for this because I think it's blasphemy. DeMar Hamlin did not win comeback player. What? I mean, the fake punt kind of screwed it all up for him,
Starting point is 00:14:03 right? Fun. Just hypothetically speaking, if that fake punt kind of screwed it all up for him, right? Fun. Just hypothetically speaking, if that fake punt never happens... He probably wins it, right? Like, you had like a spotlight moment where everyone kind of remembered, oh, this guy has like a half tackle, and now a failed fake punt. Were they going for a moment with that fake punt? Like, do they put him in that spot because they're like, this'll be a thing. This is an SP. He had a moment. I mean, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:29 When he came out to life, they said the reason why it looks so bad is when they get a certain look from the other team, they run a fake pun. There needs to be one guy on the staff that's like, the bar Hamlin should not be doing that. Forgive me, I understand getting into the nuances of this. I just want you to know, right before the Super Bowl, a big event that is morally questionable and we all capitalize on, that the comeback player of the year was not a player who came back from the dead.
Starting point is 00:15:01 That was it, Joe Flacco did. Technically, Joe Flacco also did, and he had it in Joe Flacco did technically also did. He had it. Joe Flacco also did. That was a big plot hole. You could argue Joe Flacco was more dead. Yeah. You cannot argue that.
Starting point is 00:15:15 He played for the sets. Joe Flacco said he did not want that award. If you don't want the award, don't accept the award. Give it to the more. I mean, I love hot things. He needs to do that. No, we need to threaten it. No. Flacco, do the right thing.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Flacco give your award. Give it back. Give it back. Give it back. There we go. Good. Yes thank you. Guys did you not see the fake one? Proud word Chris. Do the right thing Flacco. He came back. Come on this goes without saying. No. From the dungeon. I mean he made the playoffs as a Cleveland Brown as in any ways more impressive I'm gonna be honest and Vegas has kicked my ass Yeah, you this city man. We got out to a good lead. I mean I was up. Yeah Like you know 15 going into last night. We gave him way too much time on the clock
Starting point is 00:16:03 15 going into last night. We gave him way too much time on the clock. Vegas won on a 24-0 run and I am destroyed this morning. You left, you left Patrick Holmes too much time. We're the Dolphins on Monday night and Vegas is the Titans. You're Shanahan in the Super Bowl. Ooh. Too soon. What happened? Jeez, what happened there? No, the Shanahan family was here today. Wow. Chamely.
Starting point is 00:16:29 We're cooking. Friday, Chris. You want to get Perfoperty back off the ground? I want you to do it. Let's go. Who's Pern with me? That is the... Oh, that was a dumb sound. Goosebumps. Goosebumps. Every time.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Dan, I have an idea. Oh, Lord. To present to you and these lovely fans in the great city of Las Vegas crowd work Billy They're so bothered by the Shanahan line, I'm sorry Shanahan family. I Was thinking Las Vegas seems like the perfect place to have a Super Bowl This has been a great. It's been been amazing. And they love having it here. And there's endless things to do. That was the whole idea. It should just always be in Las Vegas.
Starting point is 00:17:10 That's always a good idea. Wait, every year? Every year in Vegas? Every year in Vegas. Every single time. What do you guys think? Justice for David Sampson. What?
Starting point is 00:17:25 Go, Pee-pee. What? Boo. Boo. Boo. Boo. Go, Pee Pee. Hashtag. OK. He came back to the deck. He did, yeah. You got Andy.
Starting point is 00:17:39 He got more first place votes than everyone else, but Flacco beat him with the second and third place votes. This guy's so. I don't like that. Electoral College, Dan. This guy is so mad right now because he has 17 signs and you went to the one person and she only has one sign. He's been flipping through six signs already in this first second. Go back to the Stugatz book sign. Go back to it. Stugatzbook.com. Thank you everyone. If you want your signs read on the air, don't leave with the Taylor one. Yeah. Yeah. This is the is the saddest game day ever.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Look our guest list. Strong. Demographically old. Don't do that to Dominique. Dominique just showed up five minutes before the show said, hey, you texted me yesterday. I'm here. Well, you never said yes. I have a run of show. I have never planned a show more.
Starting point is 00:18:32 But we love Dominique, so we're doing that. So he's coming up soon? Soon, next segment. Yep. I promise. And when it's Manus Calco? The segment after that? Jessica, I shouldn't say this to him, but you didn't know who that was recently, right?
Starting point is 00:18:49 Let's keep that in the production meeting. I was a TV pilot crew that had never heard of Sebastian Manus Calco. I was just blown away by this. He's a popular comedian. I mean, I don't even understand. He's telling us Top 5 right now. He can tell out Madison Square Garden five times. Yeah, biggest box office right now like top five box. Well, he's done two movies with DeNiro Like two of them because Bill Burr and some others are getting some of the comedy power
Starting point is 00:19:12 That they're giving you know the Rogan guys like there's a we had David spade on like ten years ago And when you asked him like who's next who's the next guy that could potentially play arenas? And he's like there's this little known guy That just opened up for me at the comedy store yesterday. His name is Sebastian And he only called him Sebastian was like like Madonna or Cher at the time because man is Calco is not it's a tough one Yeah, I can I can see it. Let's chant it Sebastian. Oh Crowd the syllable situation. Look, look, look, look.
Starting point is 00:19:46 What was the last name? Sebastian! Manascalco! Yeah, the syllables don't work. No, no, no. I'm gonna flip this table over. No, but please help me with this part because I want them to feel the energy when they come up here of what it's like to do, you know.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Yeah, Sebastian has no idea what it's like to perform in front of people. No, but I want the people to give him the love before he ever comes out here. Like, invigorate him. He's a very likable comedian and him and carrot top. I think you'll get their best effort if he feels your energy. I'm familiar with how that works. I will do my part. Do you want me to cheer for him?
Starting point is 00:20:19 Yeah. Tell us exactly what you want us to do for these guys. Paniscalco. I can land up on the Benescalco. Sebastian! Benescalco! Alright, Sebastian. That knows how to pronounce his last name.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Can be on that. Yeah, go over there and pronounce his last name. Can you go to the Greg Kote Hiho 3 stage to get something that aggressively introduces our comedians? I'm sorry, I'm distracted, Dan. There are a couple guys over there and they are looking good. Oh, they knew exactly what know exactly talking about I mean, I'm trying to look at the he-haw three, but I can't not you three steak sauce behind you Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
Starting point is 00:20:55 Love the confidence in overhearing there are three Jack looking dudes over there that look good And they knew that we were talking about them because they saw our audience and said, who else could they possibly be talking about but us? It does look good though. Oh my God. Whatever you're doing. Is that oil? What are we using? Deca, you want the trend?
Starting point is 00:21:18 You a trend, bro? Yeah, you're on track and tell. That's trend. Are those the slap guys? Those guys are in town. Yeah, they're probably. You want us trend. Are those the slap guys? Those guys are in town. Yeah, they're a power. You want those guys got some hands.
Starting point is 00:21:29 You guys seen these guys around these slap dudes like Bruce Chris go get slapped. It'd be odd if they didn't have hands, Chris. It's almost I'd say there I say hands are essential to power. But you guys these people know what I meant. You've seen these guys. Ham hocks. Hmm. We should track down Bruce, the former reaper and get him in power slap. But you guys, these people know what I meant. You've seen these guys, Hamhawks.
Starting point is 00:21:49 We should track down Bruce, the former reaper, and get him in Power Slab. It'd be a fucking titan. Billy, how much? What I got the joke you were making about thick hand, thick handed Bruce, who worked for us for a while and was literally falling asleep while he worked. My last day on the job, it was a good joke. Like it was way inside. Like I say on the job. It was a good joke, Mike. It was way inside, Mike. Last day on the job. Bruce. He had thick, media, aggressive, lumberjack hands.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Too big for an old man. We had him on Mystery Create if you guys want to go find that episode. Oh, to the love of God. Just saying. We're talking Bruce. The boss. Billy, how much? He came back from the dead. How much would I have to pay you, Billy, to literally let one of those guys slap you?
Starting point is 00:22:30 Like a professional slapper. You're the one getting slapped, not me. No, I'm just saying, if I put, like, well, it's the number. I'm not getting slapped. I think for... No, let's say the number. Oh, Billy, everyone has a number. I'll eat one for two mil.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Two million, I'll eat one. Forty million. Chris, you would eat one for less than two million. So I mean, it seems like a liability issue. Yeah. Yeah. It's not a waiver. I thought that was still a wacky thing, where we're still got to get punched for a million dollars and he dies. I thought that there would be a great final act. Like it would be perfect.
Starting point is 00:22:58 He still wouldn't win comeback, podcaster of the year. That's what I thought. There was a chance I was going to get slapped in the face yesterday for free by Josh Allen. Oh man. He met his nemesis. Yes. What happened there? Please. What happened? It was great. You know, just trying to promote subway and their cookies and their chew drills and their pretzels. And Josh Allen was the guy doing it. So we said, let's talk to Josh. Yeah. Dan, I was hoping I wouldn't have to pay the piper. I was hoping I could just kind of
Starting point is 00:23:24 get through it without anybody knowing what was up. And Juju made sure to kind of point that out to him that maybe someone in the past said that he had a stupid face. And then he turned and he said, was that you? But in fairness, I went in there very peacefully and he's the one that started with me. Billy, that's alive. He bullied me for my love of ketchup of all things Billy was worried about me doing like bringing him into the whole Josh Allen thing and because Vegas has kicked my ass
Starting point is 00:23:57 I forgot to do it. Thankfully Juju did Billy had to face his nemesis Josh Allen wait you just forgot to add that's like why we were going to talk to him. We were four or five questions in and then Juju thankfully was there because he's a Bill's fan. So we asked Josh Allen the question. Josh immediately realized it was Billy. They stared at each other face to face. I thought Billy was going to get his ass kicked, but Billers survived it and we're thankful that he did. But it was funny, man. Josh Allen's a good sport. He is. Had I got a punch face though, I could have retired. Like it would have been amazing. Like the idea of him punching me in the face very publicly in front of so many witnesses, the settlement.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Oh, did you ask Josh Allen for an autograph? Two guys. Yeah. So you autograph my hat. Who is on your hat right now? You have a little Dickie autograph. Josh Allen. Josh Allen, little Dickie. We had him on radio rope. Romo Dunesay is on there. He is. Michael Pettix is on there.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Sebastian, whose name I'm not going to try to pronounce, is going to be on there pretty soon. Got some good names here, man. She just had Dominique do it too. Why is he out there? It's Steak Sauce. and those three dudes on trend. Max, you got yesterday when we went out. Mike had a DJ set yesterday, by the way. Well, I keep under playing this and I'm like, how cool is that?
Starting point is 00:25:17 So he does the Gronk Super Bowl. He does the DJ set and then he comes to this city and while he, three is performing over there, he quietly hits a club that everybody would have been at if we'd told them he was doing the DJ sets because everybody loves the DJ sets. A lot of people came out. I appreciate all the fans that were there. I recognize some of the faces, but as you know, I am a man of the people. I love getting out there, reaching out and touching folks and smiling for photos. I am as personable as they come. So a fan asked me, hey, would you like to DJ with me tonight?
Starting point is 00:25:48 I was like, yeah, of course, I'm a champion of the people and the people's producer. So we did that. And I thank everybody for coming out. Even Sugat's came out. Yeah. So I had to play a really laborious, grateful dead zone. I thought you were going to headline this.
Starting point is 00:26:01 I thought this show was going to end by us opening us the club live Like Friday night let's send people into the Vegas. Well, it's not happening. Well, that's not happening But I think great Cody's gonna play lovely cruise Funny thing a funny thing happened Dan during a Mike's DJ set. I got a clock there.

Starting point is 00:31:41 She couldn't be more highly rated. So it's hard to not be. I mean, if you're ranking people, you go Martin Luther King. Jesus, Katelyn Clark. Maybe switch the team. In February? You go Jesus over MLK in February? Oh, there you.
Starting point is 00:31:58 He says, uh, he says, uh. Oh, there you. He says, um. Kick-saving abuse. Jesus of rights. It's important. Why do you didn't start a civil rights chant is it because? civil no no thank you Jessica
Starting point is 00:32:14 Civil can I I heard you guys address the flacco The flacco the dead yeah, and it is February the flacco and the dead. And it is February. I feel you. Second highest ranked person to come back from the dead famously. It's Jesus and then who's second? The Undertaker. It's the Mar-Hamlin.
Starting point is 00:32:33 The Undertaker. The Undertaker. I think Nikki Six, Motley Crue. I would say that. I mean, this is appropriate. When Jesus came back from the dead they didn't really give an award they weren't too happy about my dog they're pretty much so I feel like we're on course in two three thousand years from now
Starting point is 00:32:57 Hamelinism will be a thing and it'll be something that we all believe in who needs an award if you got a whole damn religion? What's wrong with y'all? And to be fair, lots of animals are capable of resurrecting themselves. Macaque? No, Macaque's, they can't do it. I think the wood frog can.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Immortal jellyfish also can regenerate its cells and kind of start its life off. You know a lot about animals. Oh, wooly callipillars, wooly callipillars. Come back from the dead. I'm just hanging around this show until Ron McGill gets tired and I can be the animal guy. That's all I really care about. I pretend to care about sports so that occasionally,
Starting point is 00:33:32 Dan'll let me come on here and talk about woolly caterpillars. You are more fascinated by the animal kingdom than anybody here. You are amazed by the animal kingdom. Animal off. Yeah. He starts his podcast with an animal tidbit. Yes, normally random facts including animal facts yesterday We did a live show and we started it with this little known fact about the green What is it the Greenland shark? Yeah, they don't reach sexual maturity into a hundred and fifty years old They live to be about 250 years. Also, if you were to eat their flesh, you would get drunk.
Starting point is 00:34:07 It's true. Chuck Ginglin, I ain't a joke. Stop laughing. You think I'm trying to make you laugh? Try to make you smart. I don't want to tell you what to think. Can you tell us about the live show because the idea that you went and they...
Starting point is 00:34:19 I'm sorry, I'm sorry. They missed it, but my darling got it. I did miss it. I did miss it. I'm getting old. Sorry. You want to know about the live show? I wanted to know about you and Mina doing a live show together in Vegas. Like, we as a show are allowed to be proud of that, right? Oh, yeah, sure. I mean, it is a child of the Dan LeBatard universe that is grown. It's like the Miles Garrett of the children of the Dan LeBatard universe where it once was a kid,
Starting point is 00:34:53 but now it's a whole nother species because me and Mina are that awesome. So I appreciate you guys letting us, or appreciate you for giving us the opportunity. You can clap now. Oh no, no, no, don't clap. Don't clap, don't clap, don't. I don't clap. I don't clap. I mean, you guys think I was actually being genuine.
Starting point is 00:35:07 You just ruined it. I would just setting it up for a joke to undercut Dan. That's all. Fox. Word. No, stop. Fox. Stop it.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Stop it. Need the punchline. Let's go. No, I. They don't deserve it. Okay. The moment's over. Yeah, it's over.
Starting point is 00:35:24 So, um, another thing I found out last night about Lucy was that she prized on people's conversations on, uh, on flights and I believe everywhere else. I love to use drop. You don't feel ashamed. I think that's the only acceptable place on a plane. If I can see your phone through the crack and I got four hours to kill, like the worst thing on the plane is when you're... It's the only place that's acceptable. At a movie theater, dick move. Do.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Do. It's never acceptable. Has your life interesting enough? No. It's always real boring too. It's like just got on the plane, just landed. Give me the good stuff. It's not that boring if you're Lucy.
Starting point is 00:36:04 I had this woman on my flight here who was typing up like a complaint about her coworker, except she was, it was a PowerPoint. So I was like, oh man, she's given a presentation. Turns out she doesn't know how to open up a word zone. So she's changing the PowerPoint settings to look like a piece of paper, and she's writing about her coworker. I won't use their names, but she is not a nice gal. And she is very disrespectful to my girl, Kathy,
Starting point is 00:36:27 who's been at that company for 39 years. Oh wow, veteran. And she was typing like this. Jess, why were you doing that? I mean, that PowerPoint was for Bimble and Bimble alone. Lucy has let loose in Vegas. I think she was smoking cigarettes aggressively. Oh, there's one on my voice sounds like this.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Do you want one? No, heater. We, a lot of us actually went out to Mina and Dominique's live show yesterday. Thank you, guys, sincerely. And thank you for the insight because I hammered Trent McDuffie tackles over. Nice. Because of the insight. I found out that Bill Barnwell's middle name is Jerome. Yeah, Jerome.
Starting point is 00:37:08 That's actual. That was a real thing. I found out that because Kevin Clark was there, that the Miami Hurricanes still live rent free in everybody's heads. I was attacked for my passion for the Hurricanes, but you guys are pretty good at this football thing. Yeah, we're good.
Starting point is 00:37:22 I want to say that I appreciate all you guys for coming and being a part of the show. However, buy a ticket. Oh, you cheap bastards texting me. Hold on a second. You said let me in. You think you give me on the slide back door? Let me in the back door. You said on your show last week that you were shaming people who were pretending like they wanted to buy a ticket when you knew you'd get them in for free, you're playing both sides. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:37:47 You don't get the game. I just like making people uncomfortable. If you would have asked me for, or you would have said, pay, if you would have bought a ticket, I would have then said, I'm a loser, pays for a ticket. Dominique, also, you should be paying us because we were doing some crowd control work because there was a first date or something happening
Starting point is 00:38:03 at your show, and they were talking the entire time. I've never done this thing so many times. I shushed them. I literally, I had to go shush and I felt so mad. She shushed. And then they were like, did you hear that girl shush us? Oh my God, that girl shushed. And then I got really scared.
Starting point is 00:38:18 So I kind of like crowded in. They were also holding each other's faces at one point. I did not like them. Some guy laughed at the wrong time, it was crazy. I'm telling you, first date or something. We're five minutes into the show, and some guy just slow clap into song. It wasn't a slow clap, she said, we'll be right back.
Starting point is 00:38:37 If we say, we'll be right back, what are you guys gonna do? What? I started to clap, and I was the only one in the whole place to do it. He started reading an ad, and he started reading an ad, and and mean I was like, all right, we'll be right back and now blah blah blah go in It's just one clap there awkwardly making us all uncomfortable and I Who needs me same in fairness. You had no idea you were going to a live spot. I mean, thank you guys Okay, we have spots you guys are hey
Starting point is 00:39:02 Okay, I've spots you guys are hey We were just me like you did with Wayne yeah Wayne dude fisted me twice yeah twice This to me and then came on the show oh Geez that's a thing that happened. Greg Cody can sing guys and I hate it. He legitimately can. He's got a great voice. He sounds fantastic. Can you guys throw the show to him? Can you make a request of some sort? Can you ask him? As long as Jeremy doesn't talk, I'm good with it. Because we haven't tested his mic. We don't want Jeremy to talk. Throw our show over there so that they perform something for us
Starting point is 00:39:46 that they've already performed or just one of their hit songs, one of their He-Ha 3's classics? We're calling an audible, guys. Get ready. I would love for them to do some sort of hit song that they've already prepared. I'd also like to make Greg Cody learn some Jodicy lyrics. That would make me so happy.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Some red condition. Oh, I would love to hear Greg Cody hit some shy acapella. Oh, mmm. Ba-da-do. Did you sing some Wu-Tang yesterday, though? Oh, God, that was painful. Baby, I like it wrong.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Yeah, can you do that? Can you do that? Baby, I like it wrong. Oh, yeah. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh, yeah. That's flimid, flimid. Man. Let's go. Singing's hard, guys.
Starting point is 00:40:29 Oh, baby, I like it wrong. Oh, baby, I like it wrong. Still off key. Is that the sound that you made when you made Chris's? Oh, DB Forever. That's right. And that's how we introduced Wu-Tang James Brown owner they can play the wrong song too. Oh, can we be and you know it and you know it?
Starting point is 00:41:02 Yeti can we get a wrong song baby? No, don't do that to him Yeah, those lines I mean you gotta get the None of the floyd's Dan more lines None of the loins, Dan. More loins. You're loins. Baby. You're wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. That's it.

Starting point is 00:44:43 you're great at strength and thank you for joining us Sebastian Maniscalco this two guys is so very strong in you dad. I am so proud of you Before the question I admire you because of how likable you are it is a rare trait We need more of it these days. I appreciate it. I gotta tell you guys something listen I just came from radio row or whatever you want. It's on Plus, it's heaven. It's on No. Two people, there's nobody really paying attention. No.
Starting point is 00:45:09 You come here, you got a live audience, you got some band over here that's fantastic, and you got 29 people on stage. I mean, you're not gonna get this anywhere else in Las Vegas, so I'm happy to be here and, I'm for a coat! You don't see this at any other show. Thank you, Sebastian.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Firm. Look, great. And he's got some Giorgio Prattini slip-ons, which I gotta appreciate. Well, he's aspiring to your style, I believe. He's aspiring to be stronger fashion sense than you. You pull it off casual. Dan, look at this velvet, though. Come on your style, I believe. He's aspiring to be stronger, fashion sense than you. You pull it off casual. Damn, look at this velvet, though.
Starting point is 00:45:48 Come on, look at this velvet. No, this is dolphin. Oh, no wonder. It wasn't wet. That's why. No, I appreciate you noticing the jacket and everything. But nice to be here. Nice to be.
Starting point is 00:46:00 Give it up for the three people that are in the pool that they had to bring the lifeguards in for Lifeguards are like, yeah, it's gonna be easy day and one idiot gets in the swim. Yeah, we got to work. So Thanks to the lifeguards for coming in today in 50 degree And thanks for making your sign back in my day people took pride in writing a book by the pride of the lion It's guys advert. We're gonna clip that for Greg Cody. Oh my God, you just did a promotion for Greg Cody of He Haught 3. He's taking a photo. He's over there taking pictures for his new book. All the money goes to animal charities as you wear a dolphin jacket.
Starting point is 00:46:33 All right, who knew? I don't know if this was a plant or what this was, but God bless you for making your sign gay. He doesn't understand why you would dare to test Vegas with a residency or with the excess of the city. In four days that has kicked his ass, he has lost to Vegas. Vegas has kicked my ass.
Starting point is 00:46:54 In fact, leaving Vegas is more fun than getting to Vegas. Who the fuck wants to stay here for that long? I mean, honestly. He's killing Vegas and I think he's entitled and just. Hey Vegas, relax, okay. Second day you get he'd from the Vegas audience You feed all my vices Vegas, I'm sorry you have you have a gambler's voice Yes, yes sounds like he's been at the table for nine hours So
Starting point is 00:47:24 Are you actually trying to win money out of here? The only way, the only way you walk out of a casino with money is you have to actually work here. That's the only way you walk out of here. So no, I'm not hitting the tables at all. I do my Vegas very mild. I come in. Stakehouses.
Starting point is 00:47:41 I don't even do that. I do like two shows. I go up and I watch a documentary. I mean, I'm 50, with a six year old and a four year old, so I have no energy to go out clubbing, alright? But you do have it for creatively making movies with De Niro, which is, I don't know, which one's better if I ask you with your heritage and everything else, selling out Madison Square Garden five straight times, or you can say you had two parts with De Niro.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Yeah, I mean, growing up watching Robert De Niro, I had posters on my wall with this guy and next thing you know, he's playing my father in a movie, which De Niro wanted to have my father on set coaching him how to be him. So I'm sitting there watching and my father's a hairdresser and DeNiro's asking my father how to do a dye job in one of the scenes. And it's just sitting there going, this is amazing. I never thought I'd see my 78 year old father teaching
Starting point is 00:48:42 80 year old DeNiro how to do a blowout. So yeah, working with old De Niro how to do a blowout. So yeah, working with Robert De Niro was, but listen, it wasn't one of these movies where, you know, they yell, caught and me and De Niro are talking about where we're going to go at night. Your separate places. He went to his chair to open up a no boo. And I went to my chair to study.
Starting point is 00:49:02 I was like, so, but you had to be, scared, performing in front of him, right? I was sweating, constantly sweating. Because, you know, I mean, this is arguably one of the greatest actors of our time. I generally don't do a lot of acting. And now from soup to nuts, I'm working with DeNiro for nine weeks in Alabama. So what are we pointing at? What's going on over here? Without being, because I have a question.
Starting point is 00:49:24 The first one that he wants to get in. That's why she did that. We did a whole show yesterday. Never spoke. He just jumped in the pool. I think all of us are just stunned. Roy wishes to speak.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Roy is just questions. That's why it stopped everything in the track. Roy is stopping every. You never speak. You never speak. Well, with the Irishman, it wasn't just De Niro. It was De Niro and Pacino on the same scene. What was that like?
Starting point is 00:49:45 So, yeah, that was a whole other, you know, De Niro, Pesci, Scorsese and Pacino. And this was one, this is before about my father. So, in that one, I was, this is what happened. They yell cut, Scorsese, Pesci and De Niro come out, they get in a circle, they start talking and I'm not invited. Now, cut, Scorsese, Pesci, and De Niro come out, they get in a circle, they start talking. And I'm not invited. So I'm thinking, I'm thinking I'm getting fired. This is after the first scene.
Starting point is 00:50:11 I'm like, that's it, I gotta pack my bag and go home. Should I get in this circle? Should I stay over here? So I guess, you know, they have a shorthand with one another and they talk about the scene and then we fired it back up again. But yeah, you know, to be in two movies like that, and because I really don't do a lot of movies,
Starting point is 00:50:29 was I want to see a dream come true because I had never even dreamt it. Well, but hold on a second. On dream come true, because I ask you specifically, pick one. You can only pick one. Madison Square Garden, five times or that, because that, I can't imagine, you didn't weep anywhere with gratitude anywhere inside of that because you were selling out at the height of your dreams
Starting point is 00:50:47 This place five times. I gotta tell you I'm constantly weeping Constantly I'm all up for a good cry my wife don't cry at all We'll be watching a movie and I'm drowning in my own tears. I look over at her and I'm all up for a good cry. My wife don't cry at all. We'll be watching a movie and I'm drowning in my own tears. I look over at her and I'm like, nothing. So yeah, I go stand up, Mass and Square Garden, because that's what I do. I mean, I'm a comedian and to do Mass and Square Garden
Starting point is 00:51:19 five times in a row coming up here in September is gonna be pretty monumental for me. And can you explain to us what that's like for you just emotionally? As the performer in you, given whatever it is that you actually dream this would look like one day, because I don't know, I don't think anybody understands how hard it grinds with, with not a lot of health insurance. Like you're there, it's your art, it's you, and you've got to survive. Make a living for your kids on your funding with the expectation of funding.
Starting point is 00:51:43 That's hard and brave. You know what? You sound like my mother with the health insurance. Because that was her biggest concern. So as I got into this business in 1998, what are you going to do for health insurance? Because you're on your own out there. But I didn't enjoy Madison Square Garden the first time I did the four shows. And I really kicked myself for that because I was always thinking about okay what's next what's
Starting point is 00:52:09 next and if you learn anything today enjoy the moment you are in right now don't be looking you know six hours from now when you're losing your life savings at the blackjack table so this around, I'm gonna be more in the moment enjoying it because sometimes I think ahead of myself and I lose what's actually happening right now. Okay, so a lot of times people come over here and your job is to just do the promotion of whatever it is you're selling,
Starting point is 00:52:38 but why do you believe in bookie on Macs? Like that's an interesting project for you to take. It could just be your sports routes or that there's a lot of funny there. But I'm imagining you're spending a lot of time creatively there. Yeah. So I went up to Chuck Lorie and I pitched him a show loosely
Starting point is 00:52:56 based around my life. He came back and said, I got an idea about you being a bookie in Los Angeles with the pending doom of legalized gambling on the horizon. And I was like, you know what? I like that idea better because I'm kind of tired of playing myself. I did it in the movie about my father.
Starting point is 00:53:14 I'd shot a pilot with Tony Danza as my father six years ago and never got picked up playing me. I'm like, I like this idea of playing another guy. I don't really have a lot of sports roots. I mean, I grew up a Chicago Bears fan, but it's not like I'm the guy that you're gonna ask, who should the Bears take in the draft? I don't even know who's on the list.
Starting point is 00:53:36 So. Damn, I was gonna ask you that, man. Well, I got this quarterback out of USC. The problem with the Bears, right? Williams, I know that much. I know Junior much I know junior Harrison juniors and that's about after that I fall off a cliff but whoever the Bears take you know they're doomed that's true Justin Fields will leave the
Starting point is 00:53:57 Bears and they'll go win a Super Bowl that's right I just see those sports you know sports I know a little bit just a a little bit. But I'm just tired of watching the Bears game because I'm watching all these other teams, even Mahomes. And I don't, I've never seen this move before. Mahomes goes up. First they go in the shotgun, and then they got to come up to the line and see what's going on. But the running back comes up too. Like he's, like he feels left out. It's performative. Let's go on. You got it right.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Okay. And then they go back together. Bears ain't doing that. Right? It's a good analysis. So my home's figured it out from Brady. Go over there and sprinkle your dust over there. My no, we know more, but he's not doing it.
Starting point is 00:54:39 You think he's not doing anything. He must be doing something because a lot's happening after that But I'm just saying when the Bears get up to the line no one's talking You know like no one's pointing this guy's coming watch. They're just head down Can't wait to go out to eat tonight. I mean I I Don't know The media row I don't know you got to tell us how you's good analysis. Media row, I don't know. You got to tell us how you experienced this yesterday,
Starting point is 00:55:07 because it is really a carnival of carnivores coming over and just be funny, funny man, be funny. You're experiencing sports, Vegas, gambling, all of it being together at the same time in your city. Is that an epicenter for your funny here in the residency that you're doing? Because you're in Vegas during an insane week. I can't believe that they're about to play amid the gambling, the prostitution,
Starting point is 00:55:29 that the conservative NFL is playing around, you know, Sin City. This is my pitch. This is my pitch. And I want to get the audience reaction on this. I say we do the Super Bowl, we alternate Vegas and Sofya in LA every year year the hell with the rest of the league What a perfect place go to the pool go to the pool you are a distraction with your
Starting point is 00:55:56 Another sign drop the ball. It's a good interview. This is a good day You can't come here and have ten jokes hoping to get one of them on. He was cooking and you dropped the signs at the worst possible time. It's dirty, have some respect. Some dignity for comedy. You just interrupted his set. No, no, no, no, no. It's not an interruption.
Starting point is 00:56:13 We get this type of behavior a lot at the shows, okay? Anytime you bring a live audience in, you're bound to get some guy who's spent, I don't know, an hour and a half making. An hour and a half. I'm an hour and a half. With a marker. I mean, come on. You brought that. He did not spend an hour and a half making a marker I mean come on you brought that on the half on those sides that's that thick marker too dude come on yeah
Starting point is 00:56:31 that's a thick that's a that's a heavy heavy marker next time you do a sign put a little color into it take some time maybe draw figurine it's all right we'll get to you guys take Take it easy. Take it easy. What do you make? And I asked this question of comedians a lot. It's such a fascinating time in comedy. Shane Gillis is now being used by Bud Light at the end of the month as comedians try to find this free speech space. Your podcast is one of the hundred that are kicking ass because comedians have found this lane for business where they can talk unfiltered to their audience without any limit. As you hustle against the Rogans and the Burt Christchers and everyone in the competitive
Starting point is 00:57:13 game, how are you staying ahead of everybody in the business because you're just likable and people want to hear what you have to say about things? That's nice for you to say that. What I've done, and this wasn't really by design. I've always been kind of even in high school I was never part of the popular group. I was always on the fringe, right? Same thing with my career I'm not really piped into all that's going on in comedy and comedians and hanging out and whatnot So I've always taken the just concentrate on myself. I can't worry about anybody else The only thing I have is me and my material. So I've always taken the just concentrate on myself. I can't worry about anybody else. The only thing I have is me and my material.
Starting point is 00:57:47 So I've just constantly wrote material and yeah, I have my podcast. And nowadays, you know, when everybody being so sensitive and whatnot, I do have a bit of an editing mechanism even while I'm up here, right? I'm not one of these guys that's a loose cannon and I'm gonna say something that's gonna go viral
Starting point is 00:58:07 and I'm gonna be popular for that. I just concentrate on just- So you can avoid all of the danger spots by not getting, that's the hardest way to do it in comedy, right? You're not getting currency or attention just from being provocative for the sake of provoking. Yeah, I can't do that. I just can't do that.
Starting point is 00:58:22 My comedy is more observational. It's not like shock and I'm gonna shock you with something or Or do something outrageous where people are gonna go my god. Did you see that? That though, yeah, I just try and concentrate on whatever my father's doing at the time and bringing that to the stage because same Fathers are great for material. I mean, especially him. I mean, we just went, I was in Chicago four or five nights ago and he wanted to go and get a refrigerator.
Starting point is 00:58:51 And I don't like shopping with my dad because we go into a major department store and, you know, he's there for eight hours going, where's the coils on the refrigerator at? Coils. He wanted to clean the coil. He was going the coil. I go, Dad, your basement looks like Bin Laden lived there and you're going to clean coils on the refrigerator? So we get to the point where we got to look for the price and he's, all right, let's go make a deal. And I'm like, Dad, this is not a flea market in Palermo. So it's like they got a set price.
Starting point is 00:59:28 So whatever my dad's doing and people go, you don't talk about politics, this that. Whatever my dad is doing at the current time is funnier than what Trump or the hell's the guy's name that we got in office now. Biden. Biden. Super Bowl week, Dano.
Starting point is 00:59:45 I can't believe it. Brown, Brown, Brown. That's the tequila. Roomba. So yeah, my dad's funnier than both of them. We have to get out of here, not enough time. Just on the way out though, as someone who loves the craft of standup comedy, when you look at the Mount Rushmore
Starting point is 00:59:59 of the people who do the real sculpting and you really like. Oh, Mount Rushmore like the people who love you love the craft of it if I if I made you pick four could you possibly limit it to four yeah I say Richard Pryor Eddie Murphy to the guys I grew up on George Carlin put yourself on there and put yourself on there no no no John Johnny Carson I think Johnny Carson although wasn't a like comedian in a sense that he was, you know He was a host more than a comedian, but his comedy silence
Starting point is 01:00:32 Which you don't see a lot anymore. You don't see a lot of Silences golden in comedy a lot of people that do comedy is very like rushed and they don't give you any breathing space If you watch Carson, he definitely did that. So that's my top four. When you said about Rushmore, I got nervous because I had to go in my brain and go, is that four or five? That's good. Or you had to name presidents,
Starting point is 01:00:54 which didn't work out for you just like five seconds prior. I could even name the president. Just a guy. Again, residency at the Encore Theater at the win. Thank you. It's one of the best doing it. One of the best doing it. Appreciate it.
