It's one of those.
We're doing a day pod today.
Day drinking pod.

That's a good
That's like, what's that guy
Chaz Bono of drinks
It's just easing in, you're transitioning easily
Slowly in
Because Campari is like a liqueur
Almost, right?
It's not actually a liquor
Yeah, it's like 20%, it's not super strong
But it gives you enough to get in I like to ease my way back in it's like 20% It's not It's not super strong But it gives you It gives you enough
To get in
I like to ease
My way back in
It's like bitters
I think bitters
Has just a touch
Of jizz in it
Just a little bit
Of alcohol
A little bit of jizz
That's the way to do it
Like Sprite
With some gingers
And you're back in
But you're not shit faced
I love it
How about you
What are you doing
I'm taking it easy
And I'm in
I'm in Austin'm in austin

this town is just alive and bubbling up at the seams and uh so i got a nice uh a nice light
medello here you know a nice mexican beer Probably one of my favorites with the gold tie. I hate Modelo, but I love Especial.
Oh, you don't like the Negro Modelo?
I mean, I like it, but it's just black and dark and heavy.
This is just light and airy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well.
Classic.
But they were saying the same shit at the Capitol.
Anyway.
Yeah, it's too dark out there.
We got to make some changes. But but yeah uh yeah that's good yeah this is this is perfect actually i was like walking i'm taking a nice little stroll
in the rain as it's coming down hard on me got a little got a little uh massage
help help the old neck the neck will go out Trigger point massage therapy
It's painful but it gets the job done
It releases toxins
There's all these studies
Everybody should be getting a massage
My dumb childhood
My evil brain
I cannot walk into a rub and tug I can do
But a massage I can't do
I feel guilty
Just look at it like it's a doctor
Have you ever been to a chiropractor? No never Oh man I've done that I feel guilty Just look at it like it's like Like a doctor Look at it like it's a
Like you know
Have you ever been to a chiropractor?
No never
Oh man I've done that
It's
Some of them I feel like do nothing
Yes
I can crack my own back
I get on a chair
I do this
I do the twist move
I saw one guy once
And he was just like
Standing in the corner
And he just like ran into me
And like
I was just like
What the fuck
That hurt
And he was like Yeah well I gotta You know I gotta level it out And he was like Alright standing in the corner and he just like ran into me and like and like I was just like, what the fuck hurt? And he was like, well, I got to, you know, I got to level it out.
And he was like, oh, you just it was like it was like a defensive end running into me where I'm like, it just fucking hurt.
Yeah, I got CTE now.
You got what?
What the hell?
I mean, I don't know.
Chiropractor, is that expensive?
It seems like such a weird gig.
They pop your elbow and you give them 50 grand.
There's this one dude in LA that saved my ass
He's a good chiropractor
Dr. Cole in Culver City
He's jacked
He was Studio City
Not Culver City
Not close at all
You don't trust him
Because he came in with a sleeveless shirt
He was shredded
He called me bro
And you're like what doctor What doctor talks like this
You know right
Dr. Chad
His name is actually Doug
Oh Doug is perfect
Yeah but he was
Incredible dude he saved my I've sent
People to him and they're like yeah that guy is a game changer
Alright I mean
Hey look acupuncture
I still don't know if I believe in yet
I'm still on the fence on CBD
But people swear by chiropractors
So maybe I'll try it
Acupuncture, yeah, they'll do the cupping
Yeah, all the athletes do that shit
And then I'm kind of like, what am I doing
That I need the same treatment as Michael Phelps
Maybe, it's like, I'm just
Smoking weed, I guess
That's it
That's about the only similarity.
Yeah.
Yeah, dude.
I don't know how athletes do it.
I don't know how they play.
I mean, I know they have access to the best healing and doctors and all that stuff, but
you still I know they're on a special jet usually, but it's still they're still seven
feet.
They're still just played 40 minutes and it's still They're still 7 feet They're still just played 40 minutes
And
It's physical and then you land
And you gotta play I mean that's it's fucking hard man
It's a nightmare
Then you gotta train on top of that
And didn't some football player just shoot his wife
And his kids and himself
I don't know if he had CT
I didn't see that yet but yeah he's
I mean that's what's going down
That was like Aaron Hernandez man He had had CTE. I didn't see that yet. But yeah, he's I mean, that's what's going down. That was like Aaron Hernandez, man.
He had advanced CTE.
Junior Seau killed himself.
CTE is that you got to look into that.
Well, it's Bob.
I don't know enough about it, but I do feel like based on this is might come off as ignorant.
But I feel like MMA must be much safer than the NFL because it's every, every few months you're fighting,
like you train,
but if you're an NFL,
the thing,
if you're an offensive lineman,
all you do is like back crack helmets all day.
Exactly.
All day.
And you hit it in the training,
in the game,
you hear that smash.
And at least with UFC,
they stop it.
You've never seen a ref come in and go,
all right,
he's tackled.
You got them.
You know,
it's,
it's just pile up by eight guys.
You know, they're all 300 pounds.
Yeah.
And the cool thing about UFC is they at least will say it.
Like, I got to stop fighting because I want to keep my brain.
I got kids.
I want to hang out with my kids.
So they'll actually admit it.
Like, yeah, I'm getting punched in the face.
This is bad news.
But sometimes you see him, man.
Like, I don't know if Holyfield is going to fight again.
But I remember I had Holyfield when I had a sports show on my show.
And like, this dude fought professionally for like 30 years. Crazy. I don't know if Holyfield is going to fight again, but I remember I had Holyfield when I had a sports show on my show. And like this dude fought professionally for like 30 years.
Crazy.
I can't imagine what that,
and he was a bruiser.
That was his whole thing.
He was like,
I'm a fucking,
I'm a,
I'm the guy who's going to stay in it.
Right.
Right.
And then he did,
did he hear you?
He only has one ear.
He was,
I think he was probably,
I think it was like a little,
a little slow,
but he also...
We'd make jokes.
I remember we opened it with Stavros.
I'm like, we have a new opponent who you've never faced.
And Stavros just ran in and ripped his shirt off and was like, ah!
And he was laughing.
He was being silly with us, too.
That's great.
But he's such a legend.
You're just kind of like, oh, man.
It's like I'm in the presence Of like one of the best ever
You just feel that
They just walk with that
You know
He beat Tyson
I mean
What kind of
Mind state
Do you have to be in
To see Mike Tyson
And go
Oh I can beat that guy
That is insane
And he beat him
Yeah
Well Tyson was so
He had that stretch
Out of the gate
That was just
Yeah
He's like 5'8", 5'7".
He's just a tank.
He's got that torque.
I mean, terrifying human being.
So scary.
Brownsville, Brooklyn.
So you're in Austin.
How are the shows?
Oh, my God.
I can't even get into it because they've been so great.
We sold out every show show We added a show Sunday
It just sold out again
It's at 25% capacity
Which is not a big brag here
But it still feels good
But there's demand
And that excitement
And you feel that from the crowd
I was at the Cellar all weekend
I feel an energy man man, for sure.
Yes, yes.
And I got to say, if this is what 25% of the Paramount Theater feels like,
I can't even imagine at 100.
It's got to be just booming laughs.
I opened for Aziz there once, and it was pretty special.
It was pretty damn cool.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And it's just great.
It's one of those cool cities where you're on 6th Street, you're on Congress, everybody's
up and at them.
There's a guy on stilts, there's a drag queen on a unicycle, and a frat guy puking.
And then you go in the theater, and it's from 1915.
The Marx Brothers, Charlie Chaplin have been here, and it's beautiful and ornate.
And you're like, wow, right outside is a guy doing heroin.
It's so funny.
You just see frat douches, and then you walk in, they're like, elvis fuck someone in this room closet right here they've got all this weird history exactly i know
and it's so pretty in there it's uh it's cool how showbiz works then you just you do these shows you
get these applauses you high five everybody go outside and then you become just as degenerate
as the other guys it is pretty weird man you're up there and it's like you feel like
Man this is so kind of
I don't want to say dignified but you're in a theater
There's something kind of dignified
About that and then you're like oh yeah
But I'm not a theater person
Right
Yeah there's a chandelier a box seat
I'm like I'm not that guy
Yeah I got a mixed drink in the
Green room and I just took a shit I diarrhea'd I'm talking about my'm not that guy. Yeah, I got a mixed drink in the green room, and I just took a shit, a diarrhea.
I'm talking about my dick on stage,
but there is an eloquence to it.
I remember when Ray Romano did,
I think he did Radio City or some great New York theater.
I forgot which one, but he had a line where he was like,
I think I'm the first person to ever say anal leakage in here.
I remember that.
Yes.
That was a great, because it was kind a great dirty he was the seller all weekend too
wow nicest comic i'm hands down nicest comic i've ever met i'm on stage upstairs as the upstairs and
the downstairs the cellar and i hear this booming this booming applause to the point that it kind
of disrupted my set for a second and i was like you know i'm a little upset i didn't get that uh
that ovation and everyone starts cheering like crazy like you know i'm a little upset i didn't get that uh that ovation and everyone
starts cheering like crazy like you know being fun so they trying to outdo downstairs and then
i get off stage i go downstairs rock and chappelle on stage together oh man that's amazing yeah
well we're back baby it's pretty cool man it was a fun night. Cellar was hopping. And then, of course, you know, I'm at you forget that they the hook up the way they hook it up.
Alcohol wise will do you in there was like, oh, yeah, just give me a tequila on the rocks.
And then they show up with a tequila like this big.
And you're like, I appreciate it.
But also now now this is my night.
You know, right.

Exactly.
It's funny because they're your friend and they want to be nice But they're also ruining your life
We've all had that
You know the bartender at this cool dive bar
So they hook you up
But you're like, if I drink that

Hitchcliff was like, you wanna do Kill Tony tomorrow?
I was like, alright, fuck it
Put down, let's get another hotel room for another night
Let's do it up
So I'll be back Tuesday
Nice
But I just, I appreciate you guys making time for this in the day
because I knew right when you get out of this theater,
you just hit the street and you just guzzle booze
and some guy hands you a pill and you start jerking off a guy
and it's all over.
Oh, dude, there's an energy in the West Village right now
that's pretty crazy.
Like I was out with our boy Salacuse last night who,
we had such a good
time man i love him he's very there was a great moment at the cellar where i'm just hanging out
with him on wednesday there and sean padden and louis come over and they say what's up and uh
and sean pan goes oh you're salicus and he goes oh i love your work and uh and louis goes oh what
do you do and he goes i'm a photographer and i and. And Louis goes, oh, what do you do? And he goes, oh, I'm a photographer and a filmmaker.
And Louis was like, oh.
Louis did a double take.
I think for him, it was a really cool moment.
Yeah.
He's a film buff guy.
Yeah.
And funny, you know, Salicu, I don't know if you saw,
he had this thing published in GQ about a crazy night he had with DMX,
who just, you know, RIP.
Oh, I saw that. I didn't read it. By the way, quick toast with DMX Who just, you know, R.I.P. Oh, I saw that
I didn't read it
Quick toast, DMX
Come on
Who doesn't fucking
We were walking home last night, Salacuse and I
And we're on the train
And we pass some cops blasting
Y'all gonna make me lose my cool
And you're like, talk about breaking through
Yeah, crossover appeal, Jesus Christ
But that's, this is what I, oh sorry, sorry
This is what I like about DMX is, I mean sure, I grew up with that music, it was big in high school
What you really want?
All that shit
But DMX has a fucked up checkered past, you know, some animal abuse, some domestic abuse, whatever the hell it is.
And we can still go, yeah, he wasn't perfect.
He was a weirdo, a psycho.
But the music's great.
Let the guy die.
It's all right.
Yeah, he also was a great actor, honestly.
I remember there was, I think, a Rolling Stone or Esquire article back in the day saying, like, yeah, Exit Wounds isn isn't a great movie but this dude has a fucking ton of talent like this dude can yes totally
totally and you and you got to be a pretty good actor to not be dragged down by steven seagal
you know like he can i think like i think good actors make you look better so if you oh you know
but um seinfeld said that's why he picked those That cast
Because he was like
They'll pick me up
I mean it was just
You know
Costanza and Elaine
They're all
Kramer
Just talents
So yeah
One of the best casts
Of all time
But
Yeah
Anyway
Salix used to tell me
Stories about DMX
And they're like
So anyway
He goes to Chicago
To photograph
DMX For I think XXL magazine and he's in chicago and
he's in the hotel waiting for dmx and he's like hey man uh he's talking to the to the assistant
like hey where's dmx been four hours i'm waiting and the assistant goes i'm gonna be honest with
you he didn't make it to chicago and he's like oh fucking they're like you know what i feel bad i'll give you his number so he calls him and dmx picks up the phone it's like that raspy voice he's like oh fucking they're like you know what I feel bad I'll give you his number so
he calls him and DMX picks up the phone it's like that raspy voice he's like yeah yeah and and
Salacuse just goes look man I I'm back in New York now I I really wanted to photograph you in
Chicago I I and DMX like I'm sorry all right all right he goes where are you he goes I'm in Miami
and he goes if I come there tomorrow it's out of my own pocket.
Will you please be there?
And he goes, I'll pick you up at the airport.
Anyway.
What?
Anyway, he doesn't, obviously.
He doesn't pick him up.
But Salacuse rents a car, and he rolls up to DMX's place, and it's like he had just had a newborn.
Yeah, so they're hanging out now.
DMX is like, what?
He said he's the nicest guy on the planet
He says yes to everybody
They are walking around
Did he freeze?
Oh no, I think
No, no, I'm going away
Holy shit
That was some fucking Times Square
Let me just hold my pose
Silver guy
But dude, so they end up
Doing all these kinds of crazy shit they play pool
dmx takes all three games well he's not even paying attention he's talking to some artist
and the artist i'm an artist and he goes all right let's record together and he just goes to like
record with her and like talks over her track to like give her extra you know it's like dmx is a
guest on my track now then right they end up you know he's driving So fucking fast And Salke's like
This is terrifying
He has footage of the driving
He's like this is the scariest
Like I'm wearing a seatbelt
And DMX is like
Why are you wearing a seatbelt
Like if we flip this
The
The seatbelt might catch fire
And rust
And you won't be able
To get it off
And he's like
You're thinking of flipping
The car
Right right
And then
Holy shit
And then
He's telling the story
About how they go to
You know
They go to
This tough part of Miami
And they end up
Like buying drugs
And
He's witnessing this
And he's like
This is pretty crazy
They end up in some
7-Eleven type
You know
Bodega whatever
They're in the
7-Eleven type store
And these four
Kind of
Tough looking kids
Are following him around and they go
yo X where's the money at
where's the money at and Salacuse is like
we're gonna get fucking robbed like this is
terrifying and they keep following him around
and DMX kind of ignoring them and he turns around and he goes
I was just about to rob you motherfuckers
and they all laugh and high five him and he's just
like yeah he's just kind of fearless
just he was that dude
Damn cool story
Just look up DMX GQ
If you want the full story
Our boy Salacuse
Pretty cool nod
Great cat
I love Salacuse
What did he look like in Miami with DMX
They probably thought he was his lawyer
Or publicist or something.
You know, this little white guy with a Hawaiian shirt on.
Sal Acuse is our Kramer.
You know, he's got a Hawaiian shirt on.
He's got wacky hair.
He's like up for anything.
You going to Miami?
I'll go with you.
You going to Brooklyn to shoot this?
But he's like dry New Yorker.
He's like a drier New York type.
He's like more of like a Charles Grodin type of Kramer
Right, right
But I love guys like that who are quiet
They're kind of laid back
But they can also spin a yarn
Where you're like, what the fuck?
You've lived, man
Yeah, well anyway
This leads right into a pet peeve of mine
Salacuse has told me these stories
And my peeve is drunks
Whose energy overwhelm the room yeah you hate the
overwhelm because i like having a drink with people but when you when the drunks so salak
who's telling the story they're like oh yeah you're telling literally 15 minutes of like
them segwaying it in a shit about themselves and we're just sitting there like i'm like
at like 15 i'm like hey i'd like to hear the story you know i have to be that guy now like i'd like to hear the end of this so then they're
like all right all right what and then and then he tells telling the story getting to go he did
what let me guess what happened i'm like how about you just let him tell the story yes stop
interjecting you queef this isn't a fucking choose your own adventure, motherfucker. This is real life. That's what I said.
And then I went, art, art.
Also, a story's got a rhythm.
And if you keep fucking with the rhythm, it's like we're taking a shower and you keep flushing the toilet.
The temperature's going up and down.
Just let it happen.
Come on.
I hate that.
I'm so with you on that.
And then they got to get their dumb joke in.
And then you got to pretend to laugh at their joke
but you don't actually want to hear the joke.
It's a nightmare. What is this, Chelsea Lately?
This is a dinner. Let us tell the fucking
story. This isn't a panel.
What were you at? A house party? Where was he telling the story?
Nah, we were just at a bar.
But I mean, you know,
whatever.
Well, yeah, I'm so with you on that
pet peeve. Just let the guy get the story out
Then we can all canoodle and chop it up about the story after
But let's let it happen
I don't know if canoodle is the right word
Maybe not
Kibbutz
Is that something?
Kibbutz?
I don't know
I thought that was some Yiddish thing
Kibbutz?
Canoodle is
Yeah I double checked.
Kiss and cuddle amorously.
It's a fun word, canoodle.
It is a fun word.
Yeah.
We canoodled afterwards.
Can and noodle.
But wait, what'd you say?
I don't know.
We canoodled afterwards.
We made out.
We cuddled.
I was spooning him by the end
It was weird
How about this one?
On the same vein as yours, is when you go
I'm watching a comic, or I'm watching a concert
And you're like, oh, this guy's great
I gotta watch this guy, and they go
Oh, okay, I'll watch with you, and then they're going
Oh, that was pretty good
And I'm like, I said I was gonna watch this guy
And now you're interrupting, even though I told you
I said I was gonna watch, and you keep interjecting With your fucking point, and I'm like, I said I was going to watch this guy And now you're interrupting Even though I told you I said I was going to watch
And you keep interjecting with your fucking point
And I'm trying to listen
Yeah, it's tough, you gotta just give him with the
Okay, yeah, yeah
You give him one ear, yeah, got it
And then you're really listening with the other ear
Yeah
Brutal
My pet peeve
Mine is weird and super
It's like complete minutiae Tiny slice of bullshit, but it happens to me all the time.
And it's when you're walking down the sidewalk with a friend or whatever, and they keep getting closer to you.
And before you know it, you're kind of inching away.
And before you know it, you're on the lawn or you're in the street and you're like, all right, buddy.
And then you switch to their other side and then they do it again to you the other way
you ever have that yeah it's awful yeah it's like i'm i'm pigeon-toed and i'm still very aware of
like hey man come on yeah like they just they don't it's subconscious and they just keep
kind of inching towards you so you inch away and then before you know it you're you're in a building
i'll tell you what i'm loving i love space man i'm a big then before you know it you're you're in a building i'll tell you
what i'm loving i love space man i'm a big space guy you know i picked the wrong city obviously but
i was at a like a sidewalk cafe with my brother uh yesterday and all this remember when restaurant
tables would be two inches apart and you'd be like this is not enough space for me especially
with comics you know we're gonna say something horrible and they're gonna give us dirty looks you know so yeah you have that little plastic guard now
it's kind of nice oh yeah oh for sure yeah those that i mean you grew up in manhattan so i i don't
know how i figured you'd be used to it but that no space to it you never get fully used to it
i also hate the other table hearing my conversation I'm doing 20 minutes on Puerto Ricans
And I'm like can they hear this
What if they film me
I hate that feeling
Of like shit can you believe Cuomo
Or whatever and I don't know I just hate them
Hearing
It would be hilarious if you got cancelled for a take on Cuomo
And Cuomo did not get cancelled
I know exactly that's where we're at
That happened with Trump all at I look at Billy Bush
That's a great point
Yeah
Damn
It's getting to a point
Where I am starting to enjoy it
It does take a level of confidence
To not even address the allegations
At this point
She'll be like what's on the agenda today boys And you're like oh you're just not even going the allegations at this point to just like, she'll be like, what's going on? What's on the agenda today, boys.
And you're like,
Oh,
you're just not even going to talk.
Okay.
All right.
It's kind of,
I know,
I know.
It's kind of impressive.
It is.
Well,
the first couple,
you're like,
Oh damn,
this guy's a psycho.
He's in trouble.
He's grabbing women.
And then I read a few and they're like,
he kissed my cheek and he waved to me.
He gave me an elbow,
elbow bump.
I was like,
all right,
all right,
come on.
But the first one, you're like, oh.
I don't doubt that he's a shitty boss and shitty person.
Yes.
But it is like, now it's kind of like, well, when you kind of give Al Frank in the boot,
I know he resigned, but he kind of got the boot.
It's like, now he's getting the benefit from that shit.
Because you're like, well, he kind of got fucked.
Yes, so true, so true.
But yeah, that space in New York
Even the grocery store, the aisles
If somebody else comes down the aisle
You're like, oh shit, you gotta do the sideways shimmy
That is not made for humans
You gotta grab your partner do-si-do
It's fucking horrible
I'm walking my brother down the street
This is a great New York moment
I'm walking my brother up a west side
We pass the sidewalk cafe
And as we walk by
we overhear a woman she's got the burger uh open face she hasn't closed it yet and she just goes
to the waiter a bird shit on my burger she's like she's asking for another burger because a bird
shit on a burger that is classic wow which is kind of not the restaurant's fault like I guess
that's a risk you run if you're sitting outdoors, but you got to probably give a free burger.
You got to do it, yeah.
And the sad thing is if she would have closed that without looking,
she would have eaten that thing
because it kind of could be like a black and blue or blue cheeseburger
if you don't look at it directly.
It's funny how outside eating used to be such a treat.
Like, ooh, there's a patio
Or ooh let's eat outside
You know the sun is shining
And now it's like give me the fucking roof
Give me an AC give me a booth
Give me inside
It's so true it's funny how
Everywhere in New York
It's like New York doesn't give a fuck
About parking really so I guess it's good for restaurants
Because let them make more money
They got fucked for a year
Let them make the money
And if you have a car in New York
I guess you gotta use a garage
I don't know
But for at least a while
Let them make that money back
But we'll see how bad traffic gets
Just because I feel guilty
I'm like here you go waiter
I mean you got fucked hard
Yeah it's rough
And then
I do kind of like it though
It's like dirty Paris, man
It's kind of cool
Yeah, that's true
I guess Paris is kind of dirty too
But New York, you know
There are certain areas that don't lend itself
To outdoor dining
Where you'll be sitting there
And it's like right next to a hospital
And you're like
I was going to hear a siren all day
It's kind of rough
Right
Yeah, that's true
You hear it in the distance
Clear
We're losing him
I expected a better ambiance from the firehouse cafe
This is bullshit
I love Dirty Paris, by the way
That's a sex move if I ever heard it I gave her love Dirty Paris by the way That's a sex move if I ever heard it
I gave her a Dirty Paris
That's when you Eiffel Tower with a guy
And jizz on her ass
I don't know
It is funny that anything will be turned into a sex term
At some point
Eiffel Tower what
I know the most beautiful pristine sculpture
In the world has turned into a threesome
With two guys high-fiving.
I gave her a Mona Lisa.
Ooh, what's that?
Yeah.
Fun fact about the Mona Lisa, by the way.
Do you know the story behind that?
What is it?
Well, this is what's so interesting about showbiz and entertainment.
Like, you know, Bill Burr, great comic, yada, yada, yada.
But he didn't break until that Philly rant.
And that, like, kind of put him on the map. I remember until that Philly rant. And that kind of put him on the map.
It was always good, but that put him on the map.
The Mona Lisa was just this kind of run-of-the-mill painting from Italy.
It was whatever.
People walked right by it every day.
Then it got stolen, became the talk of the art world.
Every newspaper, the Mona Lisa is stolen, some art thieves.
They found it.
Then they put it back.
And now everybody had to see it because it was the big stolen painting.
So it almost kind of went viral.
Interesting.
It's Da Vinci, right?
Did he not break till like.
I always wonder, I don't know enough about art to know which artists like they're like, oh, they're huge.
And, you know, when you when you reminisce about them, you're like, were they fucking...
No, a lot of them...
Most of them probably had nothing.
I think he was somebody...
He was kind of like, you know, what's a good...
He was like Roy Wood Jr. to us.
Like, oh, he's a fucking killer.
He should be way bigger household name,
but he's just kind of like a working good comic.
That's how Da Vinci was.
All these guys, like Picasso apparently died penniless And all these other guys
They always blow up later
That's gonna be like a tell
That's brutal
I know I know
Although I guess it gives you some cachet
Especially if you die young man
Look at all the people that die young
Bruce Lee, Jesus, Bill Hicks
Yeah Hedberg
Janis Joplin
Yeah so true Hend yeah, you're right
Nirvana guy, Jim Morrison
Cobain
Is that the 27 club or 32 club?
I believe Cobain was 27
And Jesus
32 or 33
I think he was 33, yeah
Every comic would be like,
hey, I'm 33.
Look, Jesus already did this and that.
I haven't even gotten on Conan.
But yeah, yeah.
Mona Lisa had to go viral.
Because it is just a basic kind of mediocre painting.
No offense.
It's good, I guess.
But you needed that bump.
That was like the Rogan bump. It's interesting. It's like, it is. You you needed that bump. That was like the Rogan bump.
It's interesting.
It's like, it is.
You know what though is kind of cool is I just think about what art used to be.
And I know there's still art and there's still great movies and there's still, you know, TV now is kind of like the new medium.
Right. But you think about like, have you watched Bonnie and Clyde?
Oh, great. It's so fucking good.
It's like a bad ass movie from the 60s, you know, bad ass, gritty, dark.
And it's it's I forgot.
I don't want to say mise en scene, but we had to watch it in film school.
And it's it's shot like a like a foreign film, like the cuts and the angles and the twists and the turns, the sharp,
whatever contrast that's all,
that was all new back then. And they did it first.
Yeah.
I,
I don't know if I said this last week,
but it was,
I think it was supposed to be directed by Truffaut.
So it like had,
and then it was supposed to be Godard and then it ended up being Arthur Penn,
but like,
man,
it ends up being awesome.
And yeah,
Faye Dunaway was so hot.
It was like crazy.
So hot,
so hot.
And, and it was, that was like heavy crazy Ah, so hot So hot And it was
That was like heavy stuff for
What was that?
Early 60s?
I think 67
Ah, okay
But yeah, that was
That was a cool ass movie
Still holds up
Still fun
The acting is great
Love it
Yeah, Gene Hackman
That's a good rec
Oh yeah, Estelle Parsons
Who was at a show of mine once
She's like 90-something now
What?
Yeah, my parents knew her somehow and they brought her to
Like an early
Caroline's breakout
Artist type show and I was not good
It was one of those things where I'm like
Did I just fucking do very mediocre
In front of a legend you know
Like this woman's
Like partied with Warren Beatty
And probably like Jack Nicholson and I'm just like
I'm like so anyway my dick And I'm just like, so anyway, my dick
And it's just like bombing
Yeah, yeah, dude
I bombed in front of Marcia Gay Harden
Oh, love her, man
Which, super milfy in person, by the way
Yeah, and in her movies
Yeah, yeah
But, you know, you start bombing
And then when you start kind of scrambling up there you just get too real
You're like what the hell are you doing here
It was a horrible hack filled lineup
It was at Joe Franklin's
Remember that place?
Oh my god when was this the 80's?
It's like 10 years ago
All these horrible comics on the show
And me and I'm bombing they're bombing
Can I switch spots with you?
I'm at Catch a rising star at 11 right exactly so uh i had evening at the improv in 20 so i had to run
out of there but but uh i bobbed i was like what are you doing here you're so hot you're milfy and
it took everything i had not to make fun of the gay harden i mean it was too it was right there
but i i didn't do it that would only made it worse
if you addressed her oh my god respect I didn't do it she's so she's a good actress too oh man that
that's rough but I heard you at least booked a a guest spot on Sanford and Son out of that so
that's pretty cool yeah yeah my family ties call back but uh yeah, yeah, she was she was nice and pretty.
And that was that was a bummer.
But I told my mom about it and she was like, oh, that's cool.
I've heard of her.
Yeah, dude, she's great.
She's she's been around, man.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know what she was.
She must have had a friend there.
Something was going on.
I'm like, this is a divy, grimy, midtown comedy spot in the back of a restaurant what the
fuck are you doing here so cool so much cooler to see that type of actor than like an a-list person
because there's kind of oh yeah she's just like a more interest she makes interesting choices and
stuff remember laura lenny was a gotham one so like that's a cool actress to see wow you know
that is cool she's good she's a great actress yeah Yeah, she rules. What's that guy's name?
Not Javier Bardem.
What was the guy from 300?
The hot guy.
Gerard Butler.
Butler.
He was at the Fat Black one time.
He's there all the time.
He's tight with Godfrey.
Yeah.
Oh, that was crazy.
He's like three feet away from me.
I'm like, what are you doing here?
It's me and 30 retards on this show, and're sitting like in the first row Second row, it was crazy
It is hilarious when you're like bombing
You're like, fucking
That's the dude from that shitty Katherine Heigl movie
What the hell?
Yeah, exactly
I know, right?
Yeah, but you always hear about the comedy store
They were like, Tarantino's here tonight
I'm like, what the fuck?
Tarantino's here?
That's like the Hitchcock of our time
I know, you better hope it's a hot crowd.
That's brutal.
I opened for a guy once, not gonna say who,
but Bieber was in the crowd,
and that was pretty cool.
Oh my god, that's weird.
Yeah, he walked during my set, but either way,
I got to see him.
Did he really?
Yeah.
I was like, who's this nerd?
That's fucking hilarious.
You walked Bieber. It's just cool. We think, oh, New York, who's this nerd? That's fucking hilarious You walked Bieber
It's just cool, like, we think, oh, New York
It's home, it's where we live, our apartment's tiny
You know
My hallway smells like shit
My neighbor hates me, but then you're like, oh yeah
So does Jennifer Aniston lives here, or whoever
In this city
It's crazy to think all the celebs
It's just a real city, man, it's just a fucking cool
It's like not as I feel like
In New York
You know what's cool about New York
Is like we still appreciate
In LA I feel like
They don't even appreciate
They all have
Like Tarantino
They'd be like
Oh okay whatever
You know
I know
He's like one of my heroes
I used to live on 10th street
In the village
And Sarah Jessica Parker
Lived one block ahead of me
And I would walk by
And every time I walked by I was like
Maybe she'll come out today
Maybe I'll see her today
But never did
But I knew where she lived
That sounds weird
I was looking at her windows
And drawing her
That's a New York couple
Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker
Yes
Both I think born and raised
She might be Jersey actually
Yeah our boy David Jeskow
Knew her pretty well back in the day
And always says she was the coolest person
And Ryan Hamilton knows her
And says she's awesome
She did comedians in cars
And I fell in love with her
She was so down to earth and everything
Good laugh
Great laugh, great face
I know a lot of people think she's weird looking But I'm into it
That's your type
Yes

I've been traveling

I don't have a recommendation
Per se
But I do have to say I bought a watch
And I love it it's the best thing I've ever bought
Myself what is it let me see
Well it's nothing snazzy I got a
Oh shit I got a Timex It's a vintage look it's only 50 bucks Time see well it's nothing snazzy i got a oh shit i got a timex it's a
vintage look it's only 50 bucks timex but it's it's the best watch i've ever had it fits right
on it's that kind of cool oh look at that like the band is just there's no clip it just kind of
sucks onto your wrist and uh it's got the indigo light got the date the day of the week and the
time that's all i need Never been a big watch guy.
I wasn't either, and I tried it.
Now it's all I do is every day I just look at this.
You never have to pull your phone out.
You got the watch right there.
I knew a kid playing basketball grew up who had a watch,
and it was like sharp on the end.
Oh, yeah.
And he would like try to swipe you with it.
You're supposed to take the watch off.
I mean, you're cutting me, dude.
He was like, that's how he would would try to fucking intimidate you on defense
Oh what a douche
That's evil
It was an evil motherfucker
Yeah but no this is just
You can bring it on stage and you just kind of look at your
Oh I've been on 20 minutes I've been on 30 minutes
I mean it's a huge game changer for me
I like knowing what time it is all the time
It's nice to know
Not to look at your phone
Just another reason to not look at your phone
So that is cool
Yeah, I read some stat that we open our phones
Like 600 times a day
Over a day
And you're like, ah, I can't have that
That ain't good
No, and how many times do you go
Oh, I gotta text John
And then you open your phone
You didn't even text, now you're on Twitter, now you're on Instagram Now you're on Facebook, now you open your phone You didn't even text now you're on Twitter now you're on Instagram
Now you're on Facebook now you're on email
You didn't even get to the text
Yeah it's terrible man it really is
And like it's it can't all the things
That we talk about how we need our brains
And then you just feel your brain turning into mush
And uh
I'm like we're doing on a drinking podcast you gotta take care of your brain
I'm like literally
I hobbled out of bed at 115 uh i'm like you got to take care of yourself folks uh anyway
yeah i got a good rec i think oh i already said it's bonnie and clyde man i like there's movies
from the 60s you know what i like about and all right spoiler if you haven't seen it but
something i like about 60s movies is they would just end in fucked up ways.
There's something really cool.
70s did this too, but like, I mean, Dog Day Afternoon, Taxi Driver, they could just do
something shocking and then the credits roll.
Right.
Totally.
I kind of love that.
I mean, you know what's coming.
You know they're going to die, but you don't know when.
Yes.
Yeah, that's so true.
Yeah, the 70s, I think, is the best decade for film
because it didn't get as commercialized and corporate,
and it was just art.
Like, Cuckoo's Nest is art.
That is a fucking film.
And it's gritty and weird and twisted and funny and sweet funny
it's got everything but you're right they just end yeah dude yeah this too those movies kind of
they kind of hit they kind of hit every note it's also funny when bonnie and clyde came out jack
nicholson was like nobody right i mean who he was not famous not really no he was just the young
kind of hot young guy who just killed it was was like Chinatown and Cuckoo's Nest
And Five Easy Pieces and Easy Rider
Easy Rider's 69 though, that wasn't even out
I wonder when Five Easy Pieces came out
I'm looking it up
I'm gonna go 72, 73
70, so he had a run
And then Chinatown
Faye Dunaway, the fact that she's in Chinatown
Network
And Bonnie and Clyde is like,
that's like first battle Hall of Fame shit.
That's pretty crazy.
Totally.
What a roster.
What a resume.
Yeah, she is so hot and cool and kind of sophisticated,
even when she's playing someone just fucked up in the head.
Right.
Even back in like the 80s, 70s, 80s,
like Animal House, Caddyshack, the comedies were still solid movies.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a movie I grew up with, and it's actually a good movie, and it's a comedy.
Or Breakfast Club, or Home Alone, all those-
I don't know how good Home Alone is. I like it, but I don't know if it's a great movie.
I mean, it's not The Godfather, but it's like-
Home Alone 2 sucks. I'm sorry. Ah. Do you like it? I'm don't know if it's a great movie. I mean, it's not The Godfather. Home Alone 2 sucks.
I'm sorry.
Everyone talks about it.
Do you like it?
I haven't started on that.
Do you like it or not?
No, Home Alone 2 is a pile of garbage.
It's terrible.
One has got the hard, I get it, but you're like,
it's fucking, come on.
But Pesci and Stern, they were so good.
Yeah, Pesci just never missed.
It was kind of just Never, never misses
Even Eight Heads in a Duffel Bag had moments
I remember that movie
I remember that fucking awful
Poster too
But yeah, I mean, Gone Fishing
I saw all the fucking Pesci movies
Gone Fishing
But My Cousin Vinny, good movie
That's a great movie
Yeah, it's not Cool Hand Luke
But that is a great movie
Trading Places, Coming to America
All those Land of Blues Brothers is good
Even the comedies were fun
Good movies
Now it just feels like Cheaper by the Dozen
Parent Trap
All this shit
It's like, come on
You know why, dude?
Because it's all about excess now it's like
algorithm shit i mean it's what it literally is an algorithm it's like let's totally like you hear
all about like multi-picture deals back in the day but they still took time on that shit i feel
like everything's rushed out now and that's what like tiktok and all that shit is and that's why
when you see a movie like bonnie and cla, you're like, this took years to make.
Yes.
You felt that it was like important.
Like you could just tell like, you know, Warren Beatty produced it.
You're like, oh, you could just sense like he cared about this material. And, you know, the writers forever to get it sold.
And it's kind of it's kind of cool.
It's a cool story.
You know, it's really cool.
Even cars.
I mean, not to get into cars, but like you see a car from the 70s or the 60s.
You're like, it's as beautiful with these great lines and curves and they didn't think about
crumple zones and airbags obviously so you know everybody died but i mean they're just so cool
and you look at every car now and it's like it just looks like a you know a fucking shopping
cart with wheels and a roof well you have a classic car i mean like something cool about
about classic about throwback
i mean i mean yeah there is yeah i mean you're right there were there are no airbags in some of
these cars which is right oh yeah but there is something pretty damn cool about it still
i think it's a lot like comedy like we'll sacrifice you know we'll say some darker stuff
or go in some twisted areas because we don't have airbags.
We want the art.
We want the Bonnie and Clyde.
We want the old Beamer.
We want our comedy to be this stylized thing and that you work hard on it.
Your special, List's special, my special, great views because I think people can see that there's some blood, sweat, and jizz in there.
Yeah, you got to put work into it, man It's like, that's what the road is for
Some people are like, man, it's gotta be hard to do the road
But that's what it's for
Is to hone the material
And like, dude, we're the only types of entertainers
That focus group our shit
You know, you think about that?
We're taking it like
Let's see how Toledo responds to this
Let's see how Minneapolis responds to this, you know?
So good.
Yeah.
I mean, it's, it's necessary.
It's a necessary part of the gig to, to take it different places.
And there, you know, maybe sometimes one market doesn't respond, but hopefully you, I think
overall you're like, I think I know what works.
Right.
And, and not only do we focus group it, but we focus group it and write it and perform
it. So it's all filtered through us at the end of the day, whereas a movie or TV show, they go, eh, we showed it to a few housewives in Minneapolis and they didn't like that guy. So we got to get rid of him. You're like, yeah, but he's the bad guy. You're not supposed to like him. I know, but he's unlikable. Get rid of him. So now you got eight people telling you this.
It's a film about Hitler.
of them so now you got eight people telling you this is a film about that lady yeah exactly this fat lady in milwaukee didn't like the hitler character so we gotta we gotta cut him out of
the movie she found him to be toxic and we have to remove hitler no you're so right man it's like
you're focused at least you're focus grouping it mostly for people that came out to see you
on the road yes so whereas like movies and tv sometimes Are like yeah this person might not like it
And you're like well that person's not the right demo
They shouldn't like it
Yes exactly
You ever see a movie with like 88%
On Rotten Tomatoes you're like that's a good number
I don't want a fucking
I don't want a 99 or a 100
Great point
It's like these cunts with the
Zagat and the Yelp they go, how'd you like that sushi restaurant?
Ah, I gave it one star
I hated it, zero percent
You go, geez, zero percent?
They go, well, I don't like sushi
Well, then you shouldn't be rating it
What are you doing?
If you don't like sushi to begin with
Why are you rating a sushi restaurant?
Those are the best reviews
I don't like the thing that they do
Yeah, so the whole restaurant sucks No, you just don't like i don't like the thing that they do yeah yeah so the whole restaurant
sucks no you just don't like it oh people are fucking trash they're it's i know they're dumb
just me me me i don't like it so it must be bad well i i don't like isis but isis is happy to be
in there people people vary dude jp jp JP McDade has a joke about
How you can google review
The Great Wall of China
And it's four stars
And then he goes
To give you an example
He says some shitty restaurant in Florida
That's 4.3 stars
It's such a great observation
Oh yeah people are such
We're fucking ingrates
We really are
All of us
And yet we want their approval at the end of the day
Which is the real rub of it all
But that's why comment cards at clubs
You ever start an out and you get the comment cards
And you're just like
Who leaves
I mean I guess some people leave good shit on comment cards
But the people that are really taking them seriously
They ain't
They ain't helping
No no definitely not
Like I would we would get drunk at the club
Sometimes and like I'd watch the staff
Clean up and they're all mopping and sweeping
And we'd take the bucket out
We'd have a couple of drinks start reading them
As a goof and
You know they were every
funny here's my number here's my email not a bad show chicken wings were cold where's fluffy
bring in fluffy i want russell peters angela johnson he was okay the curly haired guy wasn't
bad bring in uh jim jeffries like all right what do we do we would just laugh all night reading
those there was no jeff dunham i'm like damn all right thanks uh yeah we do? We would just laugh all night reading those. It was no Jeff Dunham. I'm like, damn. All right.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Uh,
yeah,
they, uh,
they really go to,
they really go to town.
It's there.
It is funny when you see some where you're like,
the feature was better.
The opening act was better.
And you're like,
I'm holding onto these.
These are fucking hilarious.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
I think I pocketed a few great ones too.
Like nice guy.
I wish he'd admit he was gay.
And you're like,
all right,
what does that mean? That's fucking great. Yeah. That's a great one. What up? All kinds of those. a few great ones too like nice guy i wish he'd admit he was gay and you're like all right what
is that that's fucking great yeah that's a great one what all kinds of those yeah clubs that are
still doing that it's like fucking 1980s it was youtube comments before youtube you're right
handwritten youtube comments handwritten youtube may as well have a fucking, an ink, a quill and a fucking ink pen.
Yeah,
exactly.
But I don't know.
Apparently club bookers read those or they used to.
I think they read those.
If you're like a brand new headline or something.
Yeah.
We want to see if we'll bring them back.
How about a Kevin Hart back in the day?
I'm talking like late nineties would do his show,
stand outside the club door with a composition book, say thank you to everybody and get their email back when email was new and exciting.
And then he would email everyone and then do a mailing list.
And when he came back to Philly or Denver, he would he would email him.
Brutal. But you know what?
I mean, I respect him so much for doing that, even though it's brutal.
I also heard that back in the day, his travel budget was like $5,000 because they had to take care of his entourage.
This is when he was a young headliner, too.
It's fucking hilarious.
What is that?
I mean, he had a crew.
I mean, I think it was like, I want to take care of my people.
And he wasn't making that much more than that.
So it's just hilarious that he was that. But I probably just knew he was going to make it. I think he was like, I want to take care of my people. And he wasn't making that much more than that. So it's just hilarious that he was that.
But I probably just knew he was going to make it.
I think he was just that driven.
Yeah, I guess so.
Jesus Christ.
I tried doing that a couple of shows with the composition pad.
And then it's like, people are drunk.
You're trying to decipher.
You're like, is that an eight or a zero?
And then you're like, I'm drunk.
It's 2 a.m.
I'm manually putting these into my computer.
What the fuck's wrong with me?
You know?
Right, right.
And on paper paper it sounds easy
You bump into people, you get their email
Case closed, but it's actually a full conversation
Then they critique your act
And then they tell you how much they hate your co-host
And it goes on from there
It's the worst
Yeah
In the words of
Albert Brooks, the compliceult
Have you heard of that the complice salt that's
yeah that's where it's everything starts out as a compliment but if you wait long enough it'll turn
into an insult like oh i thought it was an assault i thought you were going to salt oh no that's
funny too but uh you're like i loved your act man you're so funny my wife hates you she hates you
but i love you you know if you stay long enough it'll get get mean. I thought you were funny. I thought you were good.
I don't know what I'm like.
Yeah,
it went well.
Why are you talking to me like this?
I thought you were good.
Right,
right.
Exactly.
I killed.
I thought,
yeah,
I was the one laughing.
You're like,
it went well.
Why are you talking to me like this?
Stop it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You ever,
uh,
you ever had that thing?
This is rare,
but it happens the other way sometimes
where you walk off stage like man i suck that crowd hated me i gotta i gotta write more i gotta
fix that i gotta do this and then you listen to it it sounds pretty good yeah it's like the
opposite of laugh ears right where you're like some people some people eat shit and they get
off like nothing is wrong and then other people i guess i've been i did that
the other night the seller actually i was like that was fucking brutal i was listening to the
seller like i was pretty good this went pretty well yeah newer jokes so i was like yeah it's
pretty good and we're especially hard on new joe i or at least i am i'll do i'll throw a new one
out there and it's all risky and scary and you're like oh they hated it that joke sucks i'm not good
writer and then you listen to it you're like oh no that did okay it, that joke sucks I'm not a good writer And then you listen to it and you're like, oh no, that did okay
Yeah, I do the same
I mean, because they're trying out for the team
Essentially, the new joke
Yes, exactly
And you're kind of like, you better impress
You don't want the new guy to come in and fucking
Just bend over
You can't hang with these other jokes
Yeah, yeah, I remember one time I saw
A comic we both love, great comic and he bombed on this bar
show and all these comics came up to me like you did better than that guy he's he's the name and
you're not and da da da and i'm like he did all new shit all those premises were gold in a week
those are gonna be yeah you know closers so that's he's doing it right i'm not a fan of the comparing the i hate the show
it's like guess what even if i don't even if i don't like love the guy i still like feel like
an obligation a little bit to defend him yes you know it's something and yeah i don't like the
pittiness against each other that's what the fucking industry does dude that's what they
pit us against each other like we we're the ones who help each other out like who who helps you more than comics
of course it's all comics definitely for sure but i do watch you know when it's a lot like a what
do you call those a showcase show at the cellar there's six comics and a host or five comics and
a host you watch everyone come out of there and if you listen they're going the third guy was the
best i like the fourth guy fourth fifth guy he was the best. I like the fourth guy.
Fourth, fifth guy, he was the best one.
You're like, this is what everybody does.
You're like, just enjoy it.
But it's like a human nature thing.
You just have to rank people.
They like, that's why people like reality shows, because there's a winner.
It's so stupid.
But you know.
That's not how I consume stuff, really.
Me neither.
I don't watch a movie, and I I'm like I'm watching Bonnie and Clyde
Man this is a fucking great cast
That's what comes to my mind
Man this is so well shot
I'm not like watching like
Faye Dunaway was better than Warren Beatty
They're both fucking good
I'm not trying to
It's weird it's a weird way to
I don't know
It's a weird way to look at things
But it's almost, it's just subconscious
Because we all do it, he stole the show
I mean, he was the breakout star
She really, really took the thunder
Whatever it is
I'm sure I've done it a bunch
But I try not to do it
It's such a competition-obsessed culture
It's why people love sports
And things like that
I mean there is a winner
It is a story
It is
It's meant to inspire
And not just entertain
But people are like
This person
It's like an underdog story
They call it a Cinderella story
Yeah
You know it's like
People are obsessed with
With winning and losing
You know it's
And then the
The irony is that
You make it to the top
The underdog made it And then they want you to fail.
Sure.
Right when you get up there, they're like, all right, let's bring you back down.
You're like, what?
We just traveled all the way up here.
It took 20 years, and now you want me to come crashing down?
That's why we built you up, to bring you back down.
We're not good people.
I guess so.
Yeah, for sure.
I'm staying in the middle.
I'm getting to the middle of the mountain, and I'm going to build a hut and get a couple chickens
and just hang out there.
Well, they still might bring you down.
They'll just bring you even lower if you stay in the middle.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
I don't know.
I'm getting one of those weird hammock things
on the side of the mountain that just hangs there,
and you can sit in it and take photos
and have a coffee out of a thermos.
I think it's basically, that is a showbiz career basically is like yeah
but i mean that was like sinatra right i mean he made his biggest possible and then he's like
fucking people forget him then from here to eternity then he's back and then you're like
right oh shit his entire life was kind of up and down it was it was a higher up and a higher down. Yes. Totally.
That's what it is.
Patrice said it best, I think. He said, show business is a roller coaster. You wait
in line. Then you notice,
hey, I'm ticking up.
We're going up. This is great. This is fun.
Then you're on top. You're like, oh shit, I'm on the top
of the loop. This is crazy. And then,
then you wait in line again
just for that one little rise but you're
gonna fall it's a perfect analogy that's what a drug is there is a higher chase and that's kind
of like kind of a comedy that's kind of how you stay as a stand-up because you kind of get one
taste early on of a good set but be it a bringer show or maybe you just got you got a hot crowd at
the right time and you get just enough to be like, all right, I'm going to stick around.
And you are chasing that high.
It is a drug.
Totally.
I mean, how many people in comedy are like,
that guy's still doing it?
I've never seen that guy do well.
I've never seen him happy with his set.
The crowd hates him.
20 years later, still doing it,
because he still gets the accoutrements.
You still get a, oh, I guess I got a show tonight. accoutrements you know you still get a oh i
guess i got a show tonight oh oh what do you do i'm a comedian oh my profile is me with a microphone
you still get all the fun stuff even though the eight minutes of bombing sucks and you'll never
make it but you still get those other things any person probably also had a good set like three
months ago if they're getting up enough like as we say if you do enough sets you're gonna have
the horrible sets right so if you do enough sets, you're going to have the horrible sets.
Right.
So if you do enough sets,
you're going to have those fucking kill sets.
Even if you're not that good,
some crowds are just red hot.
That's true.
And they go,
that crowd got it.
Those other crowds are idiots.
That one got me.
Like, yeah, that makes sense.
I did that shit for years.
We all did, you know.
You had to lie to yourself in the beginning.
We all sucked.
Yeah, it's always when there's people that kind of just come out of the gate.
I think I heard Bill Burr once say, you know.
That comics will post their early sets and like how stupid that is, because
because you think De Niro posted like his first acting audition.
Ah, right, right.
But we'll do that with standup.
It's like,
Oh,
you'll show yourself as weak.
Yeah,
it's true.
But it's also in,
in the context of look how much better I've gotten and look how bad I used to
be.
People can progress.
So I think it's cool.
I saw John Goodman posted his Roseanne audition, and it was killer.
You're like, I would have hired him too.
I don't think there was ever a time when he was bad, though.
That's true.
I can't picture John Goodman not being... He's fucking great.
He's a beast.
He's great.
Big Lebowski, he's great.
Roseanne, he was great.
I mean, he was King Ralph, the babe.
Come on.
Fred Flintstone.
Inside Llewyn Davis.
What range?
What was it? Inside Llewyn Davis
Oh yeah
He was great in that movie
He's always great, I love him
Flight, he's good in Flight
He's a great actor
Great actor, he's a weird
New Orleans staple, everybody in New Orleans
He has a house down there
I saw him in the street there once
He was walking into a Whole Foods I was like oh shit that was john goodman
it was when he was in a period where i think he lost a good amount of weight
well yeah he's at whole food yeah do something yeah dude wow yeah you know he's a legend
oh yeah oh yeah and and kind of keeps under the radar you don't see him at like big events and
oscar shit you know he's just doing his thing for sure what do you got a new bit you're working on Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And kind of keeps under the radar. You don't see him at big events and Oscar shit.
He's just doing his thing.
For sure.
Do you got a new bit you're working on?
Yeah, I got a couple, and they're all over the place.
They're so raw and loosey-goosey.
I've been trying to find them on stage, and there's not enough there yet.
I need some hard examples.
I have a few loosey-gooseys as well.
All right, great.
I got two.
They're so loose that I feel like I had to bring two
because they're not punched out yet.
But one of them is people keep complaining about AI.
The beginning of the bit is it's weird how technology keeps getting better.
Everything's getting faster and sharper and clearer,
and yet it feels like people are getting worse.
Technology is getting worse. Right.
Technology is getting better.
People are getting more petty, more narcissistic, more, you know, self-involved.
But we got like an air fryer.
We got streaming video.
We're going to the moon all the time.
You know, it's like everything we're making is getting better, but everything we make
is getting better except the people we're making.
That's a good angle.
It's a different bit.
It's an angle.
I hit a bit of premise once a long time ago.
I never really did anything with it,
but I had to say how phones are getting better
and people are getting worse,
and I say phones are getting thinner.
Something like that.
I never did anything with it,
but there's something about like,
yeah, I also think it's the technology making us worse oh that's interesting because where are people at their worst it's
i think it's they're either on social media or or if they're in public what do you do you put up a phone Yeah I mean like no matter
What the technology
Surrounds us
And it's a part of the evil like people were
Fucked up before this shit but this is
Like fuck up enhancement
Kinda yes
That might be the angle
The technology is getting better and yet
It's making us
Shittier yeah we make The technology that's the, and yet it's making us shittier.
Yeah. And we make the technology.
That's the irony.
Yeah.
We make it.
That might be it.
Let me write that down.
It's hurting our development, and who's making it?
Kids.
Right, right.
And they're not even developed yet.
Yes.
I don't know.
That's nothing, but I'm just riffing here.
Riff?
Yeah, it is making us worse because you know what it's it's it's an instinct but then it's also kind of permanent right like
you have a couple drinks and you're like i'm gonna tweet this fuck this tweet this but then
it's just up there that was how you felt for like one moment but now it's just now it's like look this is how he feels in general yes and you're like no that's how i felt but there's no there's no
this is how i feel in this particular moment setting for twitter right yeah it's true i mean
how many times have you gotten in a fight with your mom go i hate you mom you don't actually
hate your mom and she knows that but you just in that moment you're so
angry that you you were irrational i've never done that because i love my mother but uh no of course
i've done it when you're a kid of course you do that shit and it's like yeah yeah no you say that
you say shit you don't mean i feel like therapy for both of us has made us calmer in fights yes
don't you think oh for sure yeah I've been pushing therapy on everybody
Because you realize hey some of this is on you buddy
It's not just other people being fucked up
You've got some fucked up shit
And that's what therapy is good for
Yeah
So the rest of that bit is like
I can't wait for AI
If you're like AI is taking our jobs
It's going to come in and replace us
I'm like oh great somebody without a hot take who does their job without complaining that sounds amazing but is that too mean
i'm thinking it's like
it's not hitting so well it's tough because i wonder why it's not it might be like
ai it's like well more people are going to be out of work.
Like it's going to fuck people.
So maybe that's why they're not.
But like, so with that take, I think you got to go further.
Like, I think you got to go even harder with it.
I think with a premise that's kind of like you all fucking, we all suck.
AI will be better.
Maybe you bring it on yourself and you're like, fuck.
He's like, oh, you know what?
I want this in my dream.
I want that in a dream.
I was like, oh, you know what doesn't want that?
Robot Mark Norman
And you're like, oh, come on, I'm basically a robot
I barely feel
Right, right, yeah
Yeah, I don't want to get a boner in a playground
And don't worry, the AI won't
This robot, he's going to keep it clean
I think you pulled on taking your job
And that'd be good, too
I think that would make it interesting
Because then I'd have to go funny and bring it back on I think you pull it on taking your job and that'd be good too. I think that would make it interesting because then I think a funny,
bring it back on you.
But yeah,
it's something about like,
it's funny.
I do think about that sometimes with like these,
these conditions in Amazon warehouses are unlivable.
They're unacceptable.
And you're just like,
you know,
some of these like people are pregnant in the warehouses and you're like,
well,
you know who won't get pregnant as a robot.
Exactly. And that's a fucking heartless, horrible take But it's kind of funny
It's kind of funny and kind of true
But obviously everybody needs a job
But yeah
Well shit man, truckers, that's like a real
That's a real worry
Jobs like that where you're like, shit, there's a lot of jobs
I mean, we might get
fucked they keep developing this hologram technology it's like who do you want to see
mark norman and sam around the road or do you want to see fucking uh george carlin live at the improv
you know beamed in yeah and and even if they do see our hologram he won't be hung over
he won't be trying new shit you know he'll be a fucking professional
playing the hits yeah yeah so that was that then then i have a horrible premise about uh
i'd be the worst trans person because like trans people have to be strong and like stand up for
themselves like hey it's not he it's she but if you call me matt i just go with it
yeah you know i have no backbone with that shit you're like hey
matt uh you're an improv guy right oh yeah yeah that's me like i don't it it says ten dollars on
the window you you charge me 20 i just go with it you know when you when you aren't trans you take
your identity for granted ah because Because like someone says to me
Like Seth I'm like yeah I could be a Seth
You know what I mean
I'm like no it's actually Sam
But you say it to a trans person you go I'm Veronica
Right
But like with me I'm just like yeah
I don't feel like correcting them whatever
Well I think to be trans yeah you gotta have
Some self esteem you gotta believe in yourself
A little bit but me I'm just like, oh, I don't care.
And also, they are correcting people more than you are.
Yes.
So they're used to it.
It's kind of just like reflex, probably.
Like, no, actually, I'm this.
Okay.
Right, right.
My apologies.
Yeah.
So that was all I had on that.
But what do you got?
I have a couple ideas.
So I was watching that QAnon doc
which is great I finished it loved it uh but I wanted to I did a thing about how like you know
one of QAnon's big thing is that they're anti uh pedophile and I'm like wow what a brave
stance to to be against pedophilia I've never met I've met so few people that are like i don't uh condone that so very cool but to me it's like
uh i saw one sign in the video and it said pedophilia is not a sexual orientation and
you're just like i've never heard that argument ever i've never heard anyone it's never like
you're straight and you're like actually not a pedophile i that's how i identify i'm a child
molester and you're like so and you're like all right yeah i don't know where to take it or
something about like hey mom dad sit down and they're like oh are you gay and you're like
uh a little different let me get into detail here like i don't know how to end this but like yeah
i like the idea of someone sitting down their parents and be like mom dad i am a i'm a pedophile
i hope i have your support something like that i
don't know how to like of course it's not a sexual orientation it's the dumbest shit ever but maybe
the only time pedophiles identify as being a pedophile is when they have to do the knocking
in the neighborhood and they go hey i'm just letting you know i'm a sex offender you know
that's the only time they'll actually admit it publicly when it's by law that's the only time yes right right that's
funny they're knocking the door the funny visual for sure that's good yeah also you know pedophiles
are horrific when even murderers in prison are like we got to beat up that guy if he diddled a
kid you know we got to kill him in the shower i'm like you murdered your dad yeah yeah he had
it coming but that kid or that guy touched the cub scout we gotta kill him yeah that's funny
yeah even fucking even murderers are like this guy's gotta go you know well they do that with
everybody they do it with regular people too but they're like we really right oh yeah you kill
regular people through the air but this one one's personal. We got to really... Yeah, yeah, exactly.
That's something funny.
If I was a pedophile, I'd be in prison like,
dude, you killed your sister.
You killed a kid. I fucked one.
What's worse?
Right.
And the other angle I had was watching the Derek
Chauvin case, the guy
who killed George Floyd.
I don't know how you could watch this. It's horrific mean just i'm out of curiosity and to see how the lawyers
handle it really more so than anything but um yeah i mean it's horrible it's like the footage
is the worst thing i've ever seen in my life and i'm watching and i'm watching and it's like
makes you realize how much you have to dumb down a case for a jury.
They're like, our next testimony is from a breathing expert.
And some guy like sits down.
He's like, yes, oxygen is necessary to live.
And they're just like, aha.
And you're sure about this? You're like, yes, I'm a breathing expert.
Like, all right.
And then I want to do something like every person they bring in It's like you're explaining it to a four year old
Our next
Our police chief is coming in here
So our police chief
And is this the normal protocol
For the Minneapolis police
And they're like no
This was unacceptable
And they're like a condemnation
What do you expect him to say
Yes this is our
bread and butter is uh chokeholds and end in fatality is kind of what we do we're kind of
you know it's kind of you're like what what do you expect yeah yeah i don't know where i'm going
with this but there's stuff like the idea that you just bring in people and you're just like
yeah i you know i eat dinner every day I'm kind of a foodie I don't know
Also like the chokehold thing
Expert
I thought
Tried to do this a bit
But I never actually
Did it on stage
But could be something like
Why are cops talking about
These chokeholds and shit
Every cop car
Should have an MMA referee in it
You know
So he could go like
Whoa whoa he's had enough
Wow
He knows every Every time Like it's getting serious That's their whole job MMA referee in it, you know, so he could go like, whoa, he's had enough. Wow.
He knows every every time like it's getting serious. That's their whole job is to stop fights before they get too dangerous.
And that would be great to have with cops.
Yeah.
Instead of a partner, instead of a partner, they should have a referee.
Yeah, because they know everything about the body and choke holds and all that shit.
They're like ex fighters.
So who better to follow a cop around and go,
okay, he's had enough, you know?
That's good.
That's funny.
I think that could hit.
I could never, I'd never get anything with it.
I don't think, I don't know if I could pull it off.
We'll see.
Comedy's hard, man.
The breathing thing is great.
I'm an expert.
I'm an expert.
You need oxygen. I don't know if people know know that I don't know if that's common knowledge
But that'd be funny if you made everybody in the
In the jury like alright hold your breath
I'm gonna show you
I like it
