Hey, I'm Rachel Martin.
You probably know how interview podcasts with famous people usually go, right?
There's a host, a guest, and a light Q&A.
On NPR's new podcast Wild Card, we have ripped up the typical script.
It's part existential deep dive and part game show.
I ask actors, artists, and comedians to play a game using a special deck of cards to ask
some of life's biggest questions.
Listen to NPR's Wild Card on the iHeart Radio app
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Rachel Zoe here and we're going back to the Rachel Zoe
project for a very special takeover on my podcast,
Climbing in Heels.
Come with me as I take you back to season one
to give you all the behind the scenes details and drama.
I'll be joined by some special guests that'll be helping me
share the real stories behind the most iconic moments in the show. So do not miss this
special takeover of Climbing in Heels. It's going to be bananas. Listen to
Climbing in Heels with Rachel Zoe on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, and
wherever you get your podcasts.
Hi there. I'm Bob Pipman, Chairman and CEO of iHeart Media. I'm excited to announce a new season of my podcast, Math and Magic, stories from the
frontiers of marketing.
Our guests this season show us big risk can yield big rewards, like Rob Riley, the creative
head of one of the world's leading advertising firms.
I try to create environments where anybody can say anything without any judgment.
Listen to a brand new season of math and magic on our very own iHeartRadio app,
Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Is a designer's goal to have 21 Savage mention
their brand in a verse? Yes. Or what about is a designer's goal? There's no or
Hey, it's me Daniel Tosh and this is Tosh show Eddie Yo, was I? Well, I
Got through it my first colonoscopy. All right. I'm gonna let you know how it went
First of all, Eddie. Thank you for all the well wishes.
Are you welcome, buddy?
I mean, it is scary. The whole time you're just like, Oh no,
am I going to die? No, it was a,
just overall a delightful experience. All right. Here's,
here's what happened the day before everyone prepares you that the prep is the
rough part of this and they are correct. But what you need to know is what time you schedule your colonoscopy really affects the prep.
So there's different times when you have to take things leading up to the procedure.
I had a 6 15 check-in at the hospital, 6 15 a.m.
and no, that was the right move because if you're after noon, your night before
is disaster. So the day before this is what I had to do. I got home from
filming here and then at three o'clock, I had to take two laxatives.
And then I had to take the Mir-Lax solution.
And you get to put it in a Gatorade, but not red or blue.
They said no red or blue.
So I chose orange, which toward the end of the prep,
the smell of orange Gatorade was making me gag a little bit.
All right.
You have to drink 64 ounces, two separate times of 32 ounces.
The first batch, you mix up half the bottle of Miralax, which I don't know how many servings are in Miralax.
You're supposed to take one if you're constipated, one capful, and we're
taking an entire bottle, so it's a lot. if you're constipated, one capful, and we're taking an entire bottle.
So it's, it's a lot.
And you take it in eight ounce increments every 30 minutes.
So I take my first, uh, swig of it, the eight ounces goes down,
so I couldn't taste anything.
I was like, oh, this is great.
This isn't going to be disgusting.
Didn't, wasn't hard to choke down at all.
Just tastes like orange gate rib.
The first 30 minutes, I'm like, okay, nothing's happening.
Take my second dose.
And then I say to my son, hey, you want me to,
you wanna go for a drive?
Oh no.
Yeah, I was like, here's what my son and I like to take
the E30, we like to drive the green E30 around the neighborhood. But then first,
I said, wait a second, I'm taking all this stuff and I'm supposed to be shitting my brains out,
and that hasn't happened, but I felt totally normal. So I asked my wife, I said, when does it say
during this that you're going to start pooping? And she said, she looks it up, she goes,
oh, it says between 30 and 60 minutes.
And I'm like, oh, well, it's been 35 minutes.
I probably shouldn't take him for a drive right now.
And then at 37 minutes, I was like,
oh, is that a fart?
Nope, that's not a fart.
So I ran to the bathroom and I had my first one.
I was excited about it.
It was the first one.
Whoa, just an explosion.
I mean, it really comes out fast.
And now I have a bidet and I have my wet wipes,
anything that I need.
I'm, this was my mistake.
I probably was wiping too normal at the beginning, even
though I was using a bidet and things like that.
What I should have been more gentle, just almost padding,
because toward the end of this prep, it was sore back there.
Okay.
So I kept tally of how many times.
So you do that for a two hour stretch
and then you take like four hours off
and then you do another two hour stretch
that starts I think at 10 p.m.
That's if your appointment time is before noon the next day
which was important for me.
So by the second batch,
I'm going to the bathroom
four times every 30 minutes, and it's real.
You have to be close by, it's a lot coming out,
and it's coming out hard and fast,
and I'm starting to get sad, but I'm watching basketball.
I've got an iPad on the floor, constantly going,
so that I can continue to watch games.
I'm not pausing things.
I'm just like, all right.
I kind of made, made light of it.
I knew what I was getting into.
I'm like, how bad can this be?
I went 36 times.
Wow.
36 times.
I emptied my bowels.
Now at 2 a.m.
times I emptied my bowels. Now at 2 a.m. they want you to be, like I said before,
just clear water coming out your butt. And if it's not, you need to take another dose. Now, was mine perfectly clear? I don't know, but I wasn't going for another dose.
Clear enough, I said. And I probably got to fall asleep at 2.30.
Then at 5, I had my brother-in-law drive me to my doctor's office.
Now, they're very specific about this.
You have to have someone drive you there, even if you have a car service.
And by the way, I have a great car service guy that I use.
He has a Sprinter van, you know, nice setup,
bed in the back.
They won't let me use my car service guy.
They're like, no, no, no, they, we need a friend
or we'll cancel the appointment.
First of all, my brother-in-law is way less reliable
and trustworthy compared to my driver.
But, you know, I'm not gonna fight them on this.
So he comes, I have to get him up, you know,
he drives some piece of shit car,
now he's in my electric truck,
Lord knows that's not gonna go well on the way home.
He just, I said, have you ever driven a car with regenerative braking?
And he's like, huh?
Huh?
No idea, but whatever.
So I get there, 6.15 in the morning,
had my paperwork already filled out,
just had to sign a few things,
went to a room where I put my clothes in a bag,
put on a gown, I put my clothes in a bag, put on a gown.
I'm exposed in the back.
I'm laying comfortably in a bed for 15, 20 minutes.
They put an IV in or whatever, where they're going to give me the medicine to knock me out.
I say, how long am I going to be out?
They're like, I don't know, 30, 45 minutes or something like that.
Probably went under 730.
They brought me into a room.
They told me to roll over on my side.
And I was like, oh, like now I know my buttholes
like exposed.
And it wasn't like there was no one in this room.
There was people milling about.
And taking notes.
And I'm rolling on my side.
And that's the last thing I remember.
Probably fell out asleep a couple seconds later.
And then I remember waking up back in the other bed
that I was in and they were like, okay, you can get dressed.
I'm awake.
I'm loopy.
I know they put me in a wheelchair.
I don't remember this.
And they wheeled me out on a Wilshire Boulevard,
a busy road at 830 in the morning. So there I am just and they put me in my truck.
832 driving home. It's slightly loopy, a little dizzy, but I felt like I really slept hard.
My brother-in-law's driving me home.
My brother-in-law successfully drove me home. Well, actually, we went to breakfast.
I got starving.
We ate, didn't feel nauseous at all.
Butthole didn't feel like it was entered.
I don't know what that means,
but if you have this drug on hand
and you happen to give it to me, know that
you could root around for a little bit and I wouldn't have a clue.
They told me they didn't remove any polyps, that there was no polyps in there.
I think someone said I'm good for 10 years, but I get the phone call
tomorrow to let me know all the actual results, I guess.
So hopefully everything went, so completely simple.
And the next time I went to the bathroom, it was normal.
Didn't hurt, there was no tenderness.
I mean, just all in all, a neat experience.
I'm glad I did it.
Next up, vasectomy.
I hear there's tons of jerk in it.
Yeah, that'll be fun.
All right, let's get back to the unrelatable,
elitist glitz and glam that this show has become known for.
Enjoy.
Hey, I'm Rachel Martin.
You probably know how interview podcasts

Hi there. I'm Bob Pitman, chairman and CEO of iHeart Media. I'm excited to announce a new season of my podcast, Math and Magic, Stories from the Frontiers of Marketing. Our guests this season
remind us to embrace change and fearlessly look toward the future. Like Andrew Gerecki,
award-winning filmmaker and creator of Moviefone. The studios didn't really control the
theaters, the theaters didn't control the studios, and I thought well there's a
window in here where I could make things easier for the consumer and also make
something that would be very useful for the industry. Or Kellan Kenney, chief
marketing and growth officer at AT&T, who
installed fiber in customers houses rather than leading from afar. It is so
crucial that you spend time with the customers. That is the best lesson. And
these exciting times we're looking to the math, the strategy and analytics, and the
magic, the creative spark more than ever. Listen to a brand new season of math and magic on our very own iHeartRadio app,
Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast.
I am the ferryman.
In the shadows of the afterlife, the ferryman of souls guides America's most influential spirits to their eternal rest.
Where are you taking me?
Are you death?
This road is not on any map.
How much for a ticket?
All I ask for in payment is a tail.
I don't know who got to Kennedy first.
And the devastation those first bombs caused.
I've never been to hell, but I know intimately the hymns of the damned. All 12 episodes of The Passage are available now.
Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
It's clear from all the talk about my fits in the comments section that my viewers don't understand fashion, which means today's interview will go way over their drab little heads.
Please welcome fresh from Paris Fashion Week, it's Kid Super himself, Colm. Do you believe in ghosts? The famous question. I do not. Okay. Believe in
ghosts. How are you getting two syllables out of calm? Column. It's an Irish name.
Okay. It means dove in Gaelic. Uh-huh. Which when I was a little kid I was kind
of like that's soft but then I saw Mission Impossible and every time he
walks out there's like doves and then I was like, ooh, it's pretty badass.
First off, who are you wearing?
That's great.
Here's the thing, I'm not interested in fashion.
Hold on, it's not my thing, but I'm smart enough to know
that I let other people
who are really into it tell me what to do.
I'm not like, no, I don't care,
so give me a shirt from fucking wherever.
How old are you?
I'm 32.
Oh, good for you for almost not knowing your age.
I almost said 31, but now I'm 32.
I have no idea how old I am sometimes.
I don't know.
I'm like, I'm 48, and then I'm like, yeah, I am. Wow, you't know. I'm like, I'm 48. Are you?
Yeah, I am.
Wow, you look great.
Dude, the abs?
I was saying it.
Bro, that is disgusting.
Have you always been interested in fashion?
How did you fall into this?
I was interested in kind of making things and being a little bit different.
And so when you combine that in high school in New York City where everybody was like, what are you wearing?
And then so that's kind of how I started.
Kids super. How'd you come up with kids super? Why not super kid or Sip Cooper?
Sip Cooper would have worked, but super kid is taken on all fronts.
Okay.
I came up because I was super young when I started making clothing.
I was like 14, 15 in my high school, selling t-shirts at the cafeteria.
And I was really hit puberty very late.
So did I.
I was later.
I mean, you clearly hit puberty.
How tall are you?
I was tall, but I didn't have a pubic hair on my-
That doesn't count.
You don't even know what this is like.
But I had a shower.
I did a shower in front of the kids in high school
like I was terrified at 16 because I had no hair.
But did you have a tall penis?
Yeah.
No.
I'm saying.
I had a normal penis with no hair like a child.
I had a baby's penis and baby body.
All right, well.
It's different.
I was trying to say I related, but I-
No, you don't.
That's what I'm saying.
You don't relate.
How tall were you?
I mean, I was probably six feet.
What the fuck?
You don't even know what I went through.
I was four eight.
All right.
Well, you should have a tiny penis of four eight.
That's what I'm saying.
I had a tiny piece of six foot with no hair.
And I would just like, I had a note from my mom.
You said a normal penis.
You didn't say tiny.
Oh, well, I don't know.
My penis.
God damn it.
How many penises have you seen in your lifetime
as in fashion?
So many.
The fashion actually didn't help me.
I was just a soccer player growing up and then you see.
Oh my goodness.
You were actually a pro soccer player in Brazil?
So after high school I went a year
to play soccer in Brazil, yeah.
How in the world does Brazil need
another short soccer player?
Oh, they didn't and that's why I immediately...
It's actually funny, I got there and I'm the center mid.
I don't know how much you know about it.
And they were like, you should play right back.
And they just moved me to a shittier position.
Center mid though, you got some endurance, huh?
No, that's why they put me right back.
Are you scared in Brazil?
No.
Brazil is actually my favorite culture, I think.
Good for you.
Great music, great people, great like they have a word in Brazil that I put on clothes often.
That's hessenha. That means like chit chat.
But they use it as a command like come hessenha.
And it just demands you to come like do this.
So I shouldn't be terrified of their culture. No, they're the best.
Yeah.
You've never been?
No.
But aren't you a surfer guy?
Yep.
And you know what Brazilians love to do
when they're surfing?
Share with the white guy from California.
Now you were born in New York, New York proper.
Yeah, Manhattan.
You're not one of those bridge and tunnel degenerates?
No, I appreciate you said that.
Alright, when you went to NYU, you studied mathematics.
Now that right there throws me for a loop
because I thought most people went there,
spent 100,000 a year to get a degree in poetry
or philosophy or some bullshit.
Or sexual, yeah, and you're not wrong.
Okay, you vandalized your dorm?
And that might not be the right word.
It's what they called it.
But yeah, I converted my dorm into a store.
And then you were just kicked out of the dorm or kicked out of NYU?
Dorm, dorm.
Oh, okay. Did you finish NYU then?
I did.
Oh, look at you.
Did you go to college?
Yes!
For what?
Oh, that's so embarrassing.
Philosophy?
Marketing.
No.
Yeah.
That is embarrassing.
That's worse than I thought you were going to say.
I know.
No disrespect to marketing, but I just assumed,
because you're good with words.
I mean, I guess marketing helps, but like, how did you
get into comedy?
The question is, how did I get into marketing?
No, I understood that one.
No, the answer was I was just, I did.
It went down the list.
It was the easiest thing I thought
I could get through college with.
Makes sense.
And I graduated in three and a half years.
How's that for impressive?
Were you funny?
I was hysterical.
Okay, okay.
I was doing comedy. When did you start?
Oh, you did. I was doing comedy in college.
I'm doing college to fulfill an obligation to my parents. I was doing comedy. When did you start? Oh, you did. I was doing comedy in college.
I'm doing college to fulfill an obligation to my parents.
I know you're supposed to ask questions,
but my one question,
how old were you when you first did
your first standup thing?
Like proper standup, probably 18, 19.
Yeah.
And in high school, you were the funny kid.
I was funny.
Cause I couldn't.
And I didn't get punched ever.
And I was-
Well, you were tall.
You keep lying about this small.
I was tall, but I mean, I was ever. And I was- Well you were tall, you keep lying about this, like small. I was tall, but I mean,
I was tall, but I was 125.
Still, dude.
Let's get into how you got into designing.
You started what, high school?
Yeah, 14.
With the soccer, you obviously were like,
no, this is my life.
Like if you asked my parents what I was gonna be
or try to be, they'd say soccer player, so I moved a ton when I was little and then when I moved back to New York City at 12
Everyone was super into fashion in New York City and I had lived in like Mexico, Chicago, Wisconsin and all these places
What were your parents doing? My mom's from Spain and my dad's from Ireland and my dad was just getting jobs
Are they rich? Now they're the best they've ever been But when they first came to America they were very much not and they were like street vendors
But in Manhattan in Manhattan so they my mom moved to Manhattan in the 70s and bought an apartment
Mm-hmm, so she bought her apartment for like 30k and we still have it so she's always like I'm the smartest woman you know
But yeah, so they were like street vendors hustling.
My mom's kind of like an artist woman,
and she was doing like one woman monologue shows.
And then I was born, and then they were like,
we should probably get jobs.
And so then they were like, their first job was like,
you want to move to Chicago, and they're like, okay.
And then the next job was like,
you want to move to Wisconsin.
And they were super supportive.
I mean, again, I had, I was doing good at everything.
So everyone is always like,
oh, your parents are so supportive.
It was like, I was going to NYU
that I got in for mathematics.
I was like, going soccer.
I was always good at school.
So like, they were supportive for sure,
but I was trying to think if I wasn't doing
all the other things, would they have been supportive?
All right, don't give them any credit.
No, they're amazing.
But they're still like foreign parents that are like, be good.
Are they proud of you?
Oh, I put them in the fashion shows.
My mom walked my fashion show, my dad's walked too.
No, my parents are awesome.
We'd hang out with them.
We, as in me and you being best friends with my parents.
That we just met.
Is the designer's goal to have 21 Savage mention their brand in a verse?
Yes.
$7,500 for a Saint Laurent jacket.
Or what about is a designer's goal?
There's no or.
That's the goal?
I thought you were going to ask how many rappers are saying Kid Super in the song.
And that's all I want.
Have you gotten any?
We've gotten a couple, but I want it more.
Well sure.
And 21 Savage has not by the way.
God damn it, 21 Savage, get on it.
But I do think like.
It's such a good, easy word to rap to.
Kid Super.
Yeah.
It's okay.
It's not orange.
Which was the other option, Dave.
What's the most you ever made selling your t-shirts, like in high school?
Oh, like $300?
I used to put an ironing board on Canal Street and sell it on top of, on the street.
And one dude came and was like, had a super young, like hot wife, and he was foreign,
and he was like, I'd buy it all.
And we were like, amazing.
I love that guy. He was trying to impress the girl and I think he did.
He impressed me.
And now it's like, we were like, he was like, whatever.
And so he bought like 10 shirts.
Why is designer clothing so fucking expensive?
I think so that you want it more.
I think, I mean, obviously there's the fabric and everything,
but it's funny, even now when I'm selling to stores
that have like the Gucci's and the high-end brands,
they'll call me, the buyers, and be like,
can you raise your prices?
Because we're putting like the jacket you're wearing.
This jacket right here.
When I looked up how much this cost,
I was like, oh. That's steel.
I honestly said that.
I was like, 850? That seems right. I was like 850, that seems right.
Is it 850?
Is it?
No, the suit's 850.
The whole thing's 850.
Right.
That's a steal.
That's what I said.
I remember when I first moved to Los Angeles,
I went into Fred Siegel,
I was like a fucking kid out here,
and I saw Billy Corgan, lead singer, smash,
and he was there.
He was there.
And I remember him getting a sweater with an elephant on it.
And I looked at the price of it and it was like $2,900.
And I was like, I just, it blew my mind.
I was like, this doesn't, this is insane.
Now, I'm like, yeah, yeah.
Give me that goddamn elephant sweater.
Even me, when I was first like a kid growing up in New York,
I'd see fashion shows and be like, this is so stupid.
Who would ever do this?
Like the clothes are unwearable.
And now I'm on Paris Fashion Week,
like trying to make the most unwearable clothing.
And I'm like, and now I understand it from a different perspective
where fashion shows aren't necessarily for you to buy,
but to like showcase your creativity.
But even when it comes to pricing, yeah, it's a tough one.
So they tell you sometimes you need to jack these prices up.
You know that jacket's whatever, $400.
If it was $5,000, you'd feel a little different about wearing it.
I might put a shirt on.
Yeah, exactly.
Please.
Especially when you're going to return this right now.
F. Mary Kill.
Love this.
Tom Ford, Paul Smith, Ted Baker.
I'm definitely F-ing Tom Ford.
Have you ever seen those videos of him
where he takes a random dude from the street?
No, and makes him sexy?
It's the greatest videos ever.
So he'll pick up a construction worker,
which is also funny because he always picks like a secretly hot construction worker.
And then he'll be like, oh, like your lips are chap.
He's like, we need Tom Ford chapstick.
And then like someone brings it and he personally like rubs it on their lip.
And then he's like a cashmere.
And then at the end the guy's like beautiful.
So yeah, whatever.
That is like the hottest dude ever.
Yeah, these are Tom Fords.
Exactly.
Okay.
Who are the rest?
I've just completely lost.
Paul Smith and Ted Baker.
The latter two I know less about,
so I'm fucking and marrying Tom Ford.
And kill the other two.
Kill them both.
Fair enough.
Explain to me the big four, Paris, New York,
the fashion weeks, Milan,, what am I forgetting?
I mean you could just have said the big three.
London!
London!
Oh London!
God damn it, London.
I think-
There's four, are they considered London?
No?
Well you can, you can, yeah London's good.
Are there other lesser known ones?
I mean there's like everyone, there's a Tokyo, there's a Shanghai, there's an LA.
What about Charleston, Is there a Charleston?
It's niche.
But it's probably there.
To be honest, what determines is what brands also show.
So it's like the city matters obviously,
but if, for example, Louis Vuitton and Dior
started to do Charleston, Charleston would probably be big.
But since LVMH owns like 15 of the biggest brands
and they're a Paris-based company,
Paris is like considered the most elite.
And once you commit to one,
you're not supposed to play ball at the other places
or is that?
Great question.
So when I did Paris my first time,
I also assumed I'd do Milan the next and do Singapore and travel the world
doing these fashion shows.
But the way it's set up is like once you're on one calendar,
you should stay there and that becomes your,
the one that you do.
I find this one fascinating.
It was because of COVID.
The stop motion Barbie,
where you actually design clothes for,
in the scale of a Barbie doll.
This is a good and defining moment.
So give a little context.
So before COVID, I did two fashion shows in Paris.
And the cool thing about Paris Fashion Week
is to get accepted to it.
You basically just do a fashion show at the same time
during the same week and they will review you
and then if you're good enough,
they'll put you on the calendar.
So it's kind of like going to Sundance Film Festival
and just renting a movie theater
and playing your movie and being like, come watch it.
And so I did that twice and got rejected twice.
And every time I got rejected,
I printed the rejection letter on the first look,
which was actually kind of funny.
And then when I finally got accepted, COVID hit.
And everyone was freaking out because they're like,
what are we going to do for Fashion Week for COVID?
You know, the real big question during COVID.
Everyone was like, what's going to happen with Fashion Week?
Anyways, they decided to do virtual Fashion Weeks.
And I was like, had spent all my money on these two fashion shows and was like, damn,
I can never do another of these fashion shows.
I don't have enough money to do them.
Okay, let me try like a stop motion fashion show.
And I had done a bunch of stop motion music videos prior to that.
And so I decided to take a Barbie doll, rip off the heads, 3D print like JLo, Jay-Z, Salvador Dali, Jackie
Chan, and I made these miniature clothes and I did a stop motion fashion show.
Did you worry about the legality or was that not a problem?
I was like, I think it's parody, right?
It's obviously not Jackie Chan. Okay. And then,
I thought I was gonna get kicked off of Fashion Week fully because it wasn't real clothes, like the clothes were this big.
But was it your actual designs?
Yeah, yeah, I had like stitched it.
And so I'm like, okay, I'm getting kicked off,
but at least this is the most like column kid super thing.
And I end up getting like all of these fashion awards
and like start winning and all the fashion world finally like starts finding out about me and for me I was like
damn like the thing that was most column and most outside of the box was the thing that
people liked the most.
Wow I'm going to triple down on this.
It was a great actually like.
So unleashed the monster.
And like in all honesty not joking like, like I thought I was gonna fail
and it ended up being very successful.
Were those dolls vaccinated?
No, they were big anti-vax.
Oh, interesting.
That's interesting.
You wouldn't think that.
That's Paris Fashion Week.
Oh, good.
I mean, fashion world is intense partying.
Yeah, but-
Where are you at on that spectrum?
I throw big parties for kids super stuff
and my birthdays and stuff, but I don't, like,
I wouldn't say I party too often.
You're not a druggy?
I'm not a druggy.
I've actually never done drugs.
Any?
I've never smoked marijuana.
I never, the other ones seem harder than that, so.
I didn't like skip my.
So you're just gonna, you're gonna,
you're gonna clean up for a long time.
I mean, clean up, meaning like,
you're just gonna be successful as fuck.
Well, no, I think I'm gonna get,
I just haven't hit the success where the cocaine comes in.
No, that's-
What about you?
I mean, I used to rave in Jenko's.
Jenko kind of reached out to me
about potentially doing a collab. You have to be the model and we'll do like choker neck and like I...
I used to wear a thumb ring. Yeah and then you have to be like... Hold on I'll give you
one more. I even had my tongue pierced for a bit. No way. Yeah. There's no way. I was
a little kid that loved the clubs and I didn't do the drugs. The tongue ring
means other things. I know.
It didn't mean that to me.
It was just.
Did it mean that to you?
No.
I don't know how to bounce around this question.
I was just.
What were you using the tongue ring for?
Well, you know, I just was like,
I thought it was like cool.
How old were you?
Like 18, 17.
This is when you started,
you were doing tongue ring stand up comedy?
Here's the thing.
I took the tongue ring out
because you could hear it hitting my teeth
in the microphone.
The fact that you had a tongue ring is insane.
I never had a tongue ring,
but I did jokingly get a lip ring once.
I mean, my tongue ring was almost a joke.
It sounds like it was just you alone personal thing.
No, my roommate was gonna get a tongue ring
and he was being such a baby, this is a true story, being such a baby personal thing. No, my roommate was going to get a tongue ring. And he was being such a baby, this is the true story,
he was being such a baby about it.
And I'm like, just do it.
And then they did it to me and then my tongue swelled up.
Mine was pretty similar.
We were in the dorm room and I was like,
dude, we should do something crazy right now.
And they were like, what?
I was like, get a fucking lip ring.
And then we went to St. Mark's and I was like,
yeah, I'm like thinking about getting a lip ring.
And the guy was like, how about this?
And just did it.
And then I was like, and I had a lip ring for a week.
And then my dad saw it and was like, what are you doing?
Get it off.
And I was like, you're right, dad.
I might've only had it for six months max.
Six months is so long!
You can't judge me!
You're just a lip ring kid!
Don't run away from this! Tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, tongue ring, model getting the wobbles and going down in heels or no? I have a good story about this. Well you tried to murder models by having them walk a slick runway.
So this is what happened and it's a good story.
So my second fashion show, I was already not accepted, my second fashion show, I had spent
a ton of money on the first one.
So my second fashion show, I was like should I do it, should I not do it, I got rejected,
it didn't change my life by doing that fashion show, I was like, should I do it, should I not do it, I got rejected, it didn't change my life by doing that fashion show,
are these worth it?
And so I was like, I didn't do the fashion show
to get accepted into fashion,
I did it as more of a creative challenge.
Okay, if I'm gonna do the second one,
the concept's called running as fast as you can,
and the idea is if you're gonna try something,
try as hard as you can, there's no reason
to not go for it and so the fashion show was the
models would step on paint they'd walk around this like video cube and then the
last model was in a white suit but he was a break dancer so he'd break dance
on the catwalk and it would leave the footprints as a pattern and so in theory
do you do a dry run of this? No run at all.
And an hour before I'm in Paris,
the French like venues like,
you cannot put paint on the floor, this is ridiculous.
And I'm like, dude, this is my whole concept.
Like without it, there's no.
And so we're going back and forth and I'm like,
please man, like anything,
I'll like cover the floor with whatever you want.
He was like, fine, if you cover it completely, like you can do it.
And so we end up covering the whole floor with this plastic and obviously we couldn't
test.
And so model one walks, paint on his feet, goes to plastic bags on the floor and is just
slip and sliding completely.
And then the second model, slip and sliding.
And it's a hundred percent.
And as you said, like, isn't the funniest thing, like a wobble. And so I's a hundred percent, and as you said like, isn't the funniest thing like a wobble,
and so I'm a hundred percent wobble, right? And the models are all French, and they're coming in the backseat.
Are they all men?
No, there's some women, there's some women, and they're like, this is fucking stupid,
who's ever idea was this, we are slipping, like this is bullshit.
I don't know if you're allowed to do that accent anymore.
All right, go on.
What accent?
like this is bullshit. I don't know if you're allowed to do that accent anymore.
Alright, go on.
What accent?
And then, I'm like damn, this is a huge fail.
Wait, by the way, how did the white outfit work?
Rolling on it?
It did work, it actually, and the print was cool.
It looked like something?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Good, alright.
It was actually better than we thought.
That part actually worked pretty cool.
At the end, I decide to come, I run, and I slide out.
And I have a mic, which no one ever does speeches at the end.
And I do like, thank you guys so much for coming.
Sometimes you slip and fall,
but you gotta remember to get up and run as fast as you can.
Like, this is Kid Super Show, thank you.
And I get all these applause,
and Vogue comes up to me after,
and they're like, the visceral idea you decided to create the slipping models had me at the edge of my seat.
Like it furthered the concept so much more.
And I look her in the eye and I'm like, I'm so glad you understood everything I was trying
to do.
And so I got this like amazing review of that and I remember going backstage with my friends
and I'm like, dude, nothing nothing matters like we could do anything so I mean but now that's amazing
but like what about your relationship with them going forward they're going to
like know the truth now right well luckily you have no people from Vogue
watch your show are you serious they're huge fans they subscribe all the time
but this is actually funny.
So this is the picture of the guy slipping from that show.
Oh, that's great.
And I made it my Jordan logo, which is kind of funny.
What do you think about the world where like models now
have, you know, they've opened the doors to a...
It's a plus size model question.
Any version, various ages, all of it, sizes, you're all for that.
I love using older people because, well the brand's called Kid Super and I think it's cool because everyone kind of has a little Kid Super in them.
But also old people have a great face and like just cool energy and vibe.
See, I'm against it.
No, you're against the plus, you like the old. I don't like old, I don't like any, I want, I'm against it. No, you're against the plus. You like the old.
I don't like old.
I don't like any.
I want, I always liked-
Super hot, skinny, 15 year olds.
I wanted to know that it was unobtainable that like, oh yeah, to be that, there's like
no chance that any of us can be like that because it's so ridiculous.
So I liked that element.
Yeah, I don't mind that. For me, I like people modeling for me
that I want to talk to or hang out with.
Okay.
So I just, like, I had Ronaldinho Walk,
which is my, like, god.
Yeah, my last show I had Jim Jones, incredible.
I had a ballet dancer, yeah, so.
By the way, you've used, speaking of models,
you've used like some absurd people.
You've used Shea Alexandra, what else?
Bad Bunny, Dion Cole, Tyler Perry.
How the fuck did you think of Tyler Perry for a model?
He didn't necessarily model, he just wore Kid Super.
Ah!
No, but for me it's when any one of those type of,
like the more amazing and random, the better.
I just think it's like,
cause now if I run into them,
which I don't know how often I'll run into Tyler Perry,
but when I do, I can be like.
Hey!
Pharrell.
Yeah.
Is he straight up like running?
What's his title now?
He's the creative director of Louis Vuitton Men's. Is he straight up like running? What's his title now?
He's the creative director of Louis Vuitton Men's.
Like what a world trip he's been on.
So now are you partnered with them
or are you running, doing a line or no?
I did the collection before Pharrell came in.
So I creative directed the two seasons ago
Louis Vuitton men's collection.
Is that normal for a designer who has their own
to go to someone else's and do a line with them?
Well.
I don't know what I'm saying really.
No, I was the first ever guest designer,
so I guess it's not normal,
but it's not uncommon for you to have your own brand
and Creative Direct, especially in today's age
where it's like how else are they going to find out about you?
And did you enjoy that?
Yeah, that was super fun.
Did they have like, you know, is it like, oh, the way I've been doing things on my own,
now I have like the keys to a Lamborghini type of thing.
Yeah.
Was it noticeable?
We're like, oh, well, you're like, I'm in a basement in Brooklyn and now I'm in Paris and I have 70 designers underneath me. Do you love Paris? I think
Paris has an unbelievable marketing team. Whoever is talking about Paris, because like you walk in
there, you're like, I'm supposed to fall in love and like learn everything. And then you walk in and it's like kind of raining.
You're like...
What's going on?
That's the funniest thing.
Paris is like New York City, but if New York was just five stories high.
That's how I like it.
And raining.
Dude, it was just, when I was there, it was just so much rain.
And I was just like, this is how you...
Like London gets such a bad rap.
Paris should get a badder, a worse rap.
But I mean, obviously it's, any country's cool,
but they talk about Paris really high up.
Been to Paris, right?
Yeah, I conceived my child in Paris.
It was born, or you had sex.
I conceived him, oh yeah, that was-
But not born in Paris.
No, he wasn't born there, he conceived there.
I gotta explain to you a lot of stuff. Jesus. I conceived him. No, yeah, that was- But not born in Paris. No, he wasn't born there. I conceived there.
I gotta explain to you a lot of stuff.
Jesus.
Well, I was like, wow, you're a French kid.
But you remember the moment.
Yeah.
You remember the time.
We were having a lot of fertility problems.
Okay.
Okay, so it was,
there was a lot of like, okay, here we, now, now, now.
Focus.
Are you rejecting 500 ideas a day that people bring you?
Oh no, at LV it was like that, where you have all these people come and present ideas,
but for a kid super it's like, we need more ideas.
Okay.
So you're...
Because it's such a small, it's just me really designing.
Uh-huh.
You're doing it all.
Yeah. Huh?
What were you going to say about this?
Like the painting, like we make it.
The little doodles I drew, like yeah.
Sometimes I forget that I don't have a shirt on.
Then I look down and I see my stomach folding over my pants and I get sad.
What's your take on drawstring technology?
Oh, you're a fan.
I'm a huge fan.
God, I love drawstrings.
But what I, you know, some people have it inside, you know, to hide it.
And then I've got a knot pressing against my stomach.
Horrible design.
Horrible design.
Couldn't agree more.
What about cargo pants?
They're coming back.
Yeah, cargo, but in a different way.
Okay.
You don't fill them up.
All right.
Baggy cargo pants. I mean, people are going real baggy again, huh?
Yeah, which is hilarious.
Like, it is crazy when I remember being like,
you'll never wear a baggy.
And then it's like, you'll never wear skinny.
And then skinny is going to come back again.
What do you do with the extra buttons that come with your clothes?
Mmm, great question.
Nothing.
You lose them instantly.
Do you cut tags off or no?
Yes. But that's also funny when we're doing kids super products,
you like want a huge tag because it's cool.
And then you're like, I hate tags.
Like that has a good tag right there.
Now this tag is beautiful.
Yeah. That's not a tag you would cut off.
Well, that's in a good position.
If it was on your neck, you'd cut that off.
Look at my extra buttons.
God damn it. How come you don't sew your pockets shut? That's good. That's functional was on your neck, you'd cut that off. Look at my extra buttons. God damn it.
How come you don't sew your pockets shut? That's good.
That's functional. I'm not used to that. I'm used to going like this, then screaming at Carrie.
Fuck Carrie! I can't...
But you know you're supposed to break them.
Well yeah, you're supposed to, but you're not supposed to for like television,
because it looks better if they're never opened.
That's a like you problem. No one else is on television.
Hey, by the way, you collaborated
on a $700 beanbag chair.
First off, I'd like to buy two right now on the spot.
Lovesac.
I want two of them.
Give me two Lovesacs, order them.
We'll send that to you immediately.
Second of all, you ever thought about
getting into the futon business?
Yes, well no, not futon. I'm a huge fan of bunk beds. Oh I'm all
ears. What's the concept? You can't talk about it. No no I'll talk openly
about it. You're gonna make bunk beds? I just have had a bunk bed for longer than
you think I've had. Well sure you didn't have a penis until you were 20. Exactly, but no like currently I just got this new
Kid Super store and building in Brooklyn and I have like a little room upstairs, and I'm bunk bedding it as well
Wait, I got a present for you. Oh
Do we do this? Shiggy give me a present. I'm gonna give you presents. Okay, and I I didn't know how many people came
So I made the whole squad.
No, no, no. I just keep them.
Little Tosh.
God damn it, kid. Super. Look at this shit.
Oh, this is nice. This is a big... I'm gonna wear the shit of this.
Yeah, so we got them in all colors.
Oh man, fine.
I don't know if you put it on with your outfit but...
Hey, can I have that one too?
No, this one's mine, dude.
Are you serious?
Oh, you like the color? No, I do love it but... No, I would have that one too? No, this one's mine, dude. Are you serious?
Well, you like the color?
No, I do love it, but...
No, I would trade you one.
Here's a gift.
This gift I got for you.
It was an artist.
He's passed away, but...
It should be worth more, but I don't know that it's worth anything yet.
But he did a photo of me naked on a unicorn with Barack Obama.
It was featured on a Tosh.io episode many years ago.
Unreal. Yeah.
This is amazing.
I have one more thing.
It's a suit that somebody sent me
and I don't know if I can wear it.
This is what I gave you.
This is humiliating.
I actually thank you.
I actually like it a lot.
I have more stuff for you,
but the gift giving is...
Because you were saying...
You got more stuff for me?
I don't know what size shoe you are.
12.
Nailed it.
Did you really?
Yeah.
God damn it.
I just looked at that body and I was like, that's a size 12, man.
Look at this.
Look at you.
So, are you partnered with Puma?
Yeah.
God, you're gonna be rich.
God, you're gonna be rich and successful.
Look at that.
Why did you partner with Puma?
Like how is Puma in high fashion in your world?
How did they collide?
Well, you get to a certain level where
one of the major shoe sneaker companies
will reach out to you.
So if it's Puma, Adidas, Nike, now New Balance.
And I think if you're a young designer, a streetwear designer,
like getting your own shoe at a company is like one of the goals.
Especially for me, and I was a big soccer player, as you know.
And you know the story between Puma and Adidas.
Yes. They're brothers.
The two brothers.
Yeah. But the craziest thing is the headquarters
are still in that same town.
Same town and the whole town is divided.
And you go right or left to the day.
You know that Adidas was named after the brother.
Adi.
Adolf. What's his first name?
Adolf. You said it.
I know!
The fuck, Adidas is a shortened word for Adolf.
It actually wasn't even the brother,
it was just a guy he liked.
No, I'm just kidding.
No, I'm just kidding.
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
Got one?
I mean, it is, that's inside baseball for their...
Well, funny is the first Puma's name was Ruda,
cause the Puma creator's name is...
They named him after each other, both of them.
Yeah, but then he went for Puma.
You still kick the ball around?
Often, yeah.
Yeah? Yeah.
I played in a game, a celebrity game in Ireland
where it was American comics versus the European comics.
Any American comics play?
Not really.
So we lost like 15 to one.
One?
Was you?
I scored it.
Let's go.
Yeah, let me tell you something.
As an American, it's all I cared about.
Did you celebrate insanely?
Yeah, did a back flip.
Shirt off?
No.
Oh, come on.
I kept the shirt on.
There's no reason to show this.
Do you sponsor any like little kids soccer teams?
A little team we haven't done,
but we have sponsored like a team in Brazil
that I sent jerseys to, and now we're designing for,
there's a couple, I'm designing Man City's jersey,
which is crazy.
That's amazing.
Are you doing anything like out of the box with that,
or does it have to be by the book?
There are by the book stuff, like restrictions,
but this one's, it's a water painted thing,
so it's kind of out of the box.
So it has your touch.
It has my touch.
Man City, you designed their uniforms.
Pretty crazy. That's pretty.
That's a pretty.
There's been a lot of like, whoa, who let me do this?
You ever go up to people that are wearing your stuff?
Oh, all the time, and just hug them.
Do you? Yeah.
That's great.
Or I'll be like, you look so hot.
And then they sometimes know who I am
and sometimes think I'm just a weird guy.
One time I was walking on the beach
and I saw somebody watching my show
on a house in like Manhattan Beach.
So I just walked up to the door and just banged on the door.
And then they like, like were like, I'm like,
it's me.
And they're like, oh yeah.
They weren't impressed?
They weren't impressed?
They weren't mind blown?
Not as much as I wanted.
They were just like, yeah, this fucking shit's always on.
Calm, God damn it.
I have no more questions.
You're great.
I wish you all the success in the world.
I appreciate this.
Thanks for coming on.
Thank you so much.
Hey, I'm Rachel Martin.
You probably know how interview podcasts with famous people usually go, right?
There's a host, a guest, and a light Q&A.
On NPR's new podcast, Wild Card, we have ripped up the typical script.
It's part existential deep dive and part game show.
I ask actors, artists, and comedians to play a game using a special deck of cards to ask
some of life's biggest questions.
Listen to NPR's Wild Card on the iHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hi there.
I'm Bob Pitman, chairman and CEO of iHeart Media.
I'm excited to announce a new season of my podcast, Math and Magic, stories from the
frontiers of marketing.
Our guests this season remind us to embrace change and Magic, stories from the frontiers of marketing. Our guests this season
remind us to embrace change and fearlessly look
toward the future. Like Andrew Jarecki, award-winning
filmmaker and creator of Moviefone.
The studios didn't really control the theaters, the
theaters didn't control the studios, and I thought,
well, there's a window in here where I could make
things easier for the consumer and also make
something that would be very useful for the industry. Or Kellan Kenney, Chief
Marketing and Growth Officer at AT&T, who installed fiber in customers houses
rather than leading from afar. It is so crucial that you spend time with the
customers. That is the best lesson. In these exciting times, we're looking to the math,
the strategy and analytics, and the magic,
the creative spark more than ever.
Listen to a brand new season of math and magic
on our very own iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast,
or wherever you get your podcast.
I am the ferryman.
In the shadows of the afterlife,
the Ferrymen of Souls guides America's most influential spirits to their eternal rest.
Where are you taking me?
Are you deaf?
This road is not on any map.
How much for a ticket?
All I ask for in payment is a tail.
I don't know who got to Kennedy first.
And the devastation those first bombs caused.
I've never been to hell, but I know intimately
to hymns of the damned.
All 12 episodes of The Passage are available now.
Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you listen to podcasts. Hey Carl, do you like Callum?
He's pretty neat, isn't he?
You know, whenever someone like that is successful, I'm like, good.
Like that, that person deserves to be successful. I'm like, good. Like that, that person deserves to be successful. I mean, just straight hustler, his whole life knows what he
wants to do and is doing it.
It's incredible.
By the way, this hat, how nice was that?
The guy, the guy made us hats.
Kids super, T tossed show hats.
They say it's better to give than to receive,
which is why I've always given stuff away on this show.
But then he gives me things, and guess what?
Way better.
I liked it way more.
You know what's funny about this hat?
Colum leaves here after the interview,
and he's at a function, a comedy function for Netflix,
and he's wearing his hat that says Tosh Show.
And my manager happens to be at this function and she sees it and she goes up to him and goes,
hey, I'm sorry. She's like angry.
She's like, who's this person making knockoff
toss show merch?
And she literally walks up to this guy.
She doesn't know who he is because, you know,
no disrespect to my manager, but she's not, you know,
big in the fashion game.
So anyway, she walks up to him and she goes, excuse me,
I just need to know why the fuck are you wearing a Tosh show hat?
And he's like, oh, hi, I was just interviewed by him.
And she's like, oh really, you were?
And he's like, oh, we just recorded it just now.
It'll be on soon, I don't know their schedule.
And she's like, it better be on or I'm taking that hat.
I don't know, she made a fool out of herself is all I know
by implying that this guy was making illegal Tosh show merch.
You don't have to yell at anybody that's wearing something
with Tosh on it.
Who are you?
That's my client.
You know the only thing she'll be mad about when she hears this is that she'll call me
and she'll go, why do you always have to do an impression of me with a low voice? That's the only
thing she'll care about. She won't get, I can say anything else. I can say that she lives in a
trailer park. It's a Malibu trailer park, but you get it.
Just don't always make my voice sound low.
All right, hey, any other updates from past guests? You betcha.
You ready for this, Carl?
George Foreman, the 15th.
Guess what?
Out of retirement, won his first fight back in Mexico.
He's now 17 and 0.
Scott, the guy that worked on my Airstream,
finally got back, fixed a leak.
And guess who he brought with him?
His long lost brother.
They both worked on the Airstream.
Wasn't that nice?
It's good meeting his brother too.
Oh, I got an update for Pierre.
He sent me his breakfast photo yesterday, which made me want to vomit.
All right. What's going on? The goat.

I'm going to announce some dates in the fall.
I'm going to announce some dates in the fall.
I'm going to announce some dates in the fall. am going to announce some more dates in the fall.
Oh man.
All right.
My son has a new bedtime story.
Won't you please subscribe and like, see you next week.
Give me a good night's story.
Go ahead.
Okay.
See you next week. And when they walked back to their table, and they on daddy's plate, they didn't see a pizza. So they went to the hamper, their pizza guy, and say,
when I came back to my table, there was a pizza.
Hmm, we had to find out what happened.
And then, that was the boy and the daddy saw.
The pizza man.
And the pizza man turned around and said,
I ate that pizza, because I was hungry.
Then, they put in a big bowl of pizza with a big net.
So when he walked away he said, oh I'm eating all of these pizzas.
So he tracks into the kitchen motor and begins to walk away.
The end.
Good story, buddy.
Hey, I'm Rachel Martin.
You probably know how interview podcasts with famous people usually go, right?
There's a host, a guest, and a light Q&A.
On NPR's new podcast, Wild Card, we have ripped up the typical script.
It's part existential deep dive and part game show.
I ask actors, artists and
comedians to play a game using a special deck of cards to ask some of life's biggest questions.
Listen to NPR's wild card on the iHeart radio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Rachel Zoe here and we're going back to the Rachel Zoe project for a very special takeover
on my podcast, Climbing in Heels. Come with me as I take you back to season one
to give you all the behind the scenes details and drama.
I'll be joined by some special guests
