All right, all right, all right.
Every time he goes to LA, oh, shit.
Blood slide.
No, dude, it was those open mics, Lucy's Surfer Bar.
That was classic.
That was it.
That was a great role for it.
Neil Stastny I knew.
Neil Stastny.
Neil and I, I moved up here in March.
Neil moved right like a few weeks later.
Me and Neil Stastny shared a bedroom in two separate apartments.
Wow.
Damn.
Over the course of two years living in Brooklyn.
Ruined our friendship.
It sucks.
Really?
It'll do it.
Yeah, I love Neil.
I'll always love him.
He's a great joke writer.
I hope he's doing well.
But it fucking, it'll just, you know, living with another dude for two years in two separate apartments it's tough share
a bedroom yeah i'll fuck with you you see well yeah twist holy shit well you see a side of people
just being roommates you see a side of people they are like all right this it's a different
friendship i mean yeah like i mean he saw a side of me that probably no one should see.
I mean, I'm a fat snoring slob.
And he had to.
Damn.
So you shared one room and you snore?
Oh, he snores like a wildebeest.
You got the CPAP, right?
I have a CPAP now.
Thank God.
I have a CPAP.
It doesn't truly work.
It just numbs it.
It brings my snoring from like a 10 to like a five.
Are people outside doing construction? like, keep it down.
We stayed in the Denver condo together.
You know the Denver condo.
Oh, bro.
The Comedy Works.
Which is huge.
It's like a two-bedroom, two-bedroom apartment.
It's huge.
Can they get ceiling?
Can they get walls?
That's where they get you.
So I'm there with Ari, Joe List.
They were telling me to stay there.
I'm there with Vitor.
I hear his little feet dangling across the hallway every time he gets up.
It was Ari, Joe List, Steve Simone, and me, and him in the condo.
At one point at five in the morning, we all came out with nightcaps on and a candle going,
this fucking guy, we've got to kill him.
We thought about killing him.
We're standing over you with spears like Lord of the Flies.
That happened with Mike Racine.
Mike is a horrible snorer, and we would share hotel rooms early on, and I was like, I want
to fucking kill this guy.
He was also in a bad relationship at the time.
So you know when you have that check-in call when you're fighting with your girlfriend,
and you're like, I'm going to take a walk and do this call?
He would just have it right next to me.
I'd be like, dude, you got to go somewhere.
He's very Italian.
Well, no.
Snorers can only share.
Canaan and I have shared rooms, and we're both snorers. But we've shared, me, Canaan, but snorers can only share, like Canaan and I have shared rooms. Uh-huh. And we're both snorers.
But we've shared, me, Canaan, but there's been other comedians like the next morning,
they're just like bloodshot eyes like, you guys ready to go or what?
You're like, oh, you've been up all night because we're fucking tag teaming you.
Yeah.
With our fucking honk shoes, baby.
Plus the booze.
Throw that on top of it.
Yeah.
Help anybody.
I mean, it sucks, man.
It sucks because also i i know like i
have a i'm in a almost eight-year relationship and i know my snoring is you know it's probably
not as good as it should be because of that what's his name all right what uh the what what
causes snoring why do people snore i mean for me it's probably 40 because i'm fat i'm just i'm just
gonna beat i'm just gonna beat all the shitheads online to the punch here.
Because I'm a fat fuck.
Because I drink too much.
Because I'm gay.
Because I'm a...
But I snore too, and I'm not fat.
Do you snore?
Oh, man.
Do you?
I've had girls leave me.
What?
Yeah.
I mean, I fake snoring, so they would leave.
But no, no.
Oh, that's why you wanted me to coach you.
That's why I did all those snore coaching sessions.
But no, I'm a bad snorer.
You know what?
You turned into a punchline when you become the snoring grandpa, though.
My grandma would snore, and he would just be in his chair snoring, and we would just
laugh.
It was hilarious.
Wait, wait.
Okay, here's the thing, though.
Do you snore?
Not that I know of.
That means you don't.
Do either of you, are either of you burrowers in the sack, though?
Do you move at all?
Yes, I do.
Because I find snorers often stay 100% put until someone moves.
So you got that going.
So yes, there's the balance.
I'm stormy.
Yeah, you're stormy?
I'm Stormy Daniels.
So you're banging Trump in bed every night?
Every night. It's rough. But you're banging Trump in bed every night? Every night.
It's rough.
But you're a lanky son of an onion.
So you must be, you're like one of those guys outside of a used car lot.
You know, you're all limbs.
I sold a Dodge Neon.
No, I'm moving in the car, in the bed a lot.
And I get up to pee a ton.
So I'm one of those.
Oh, damn.
I get up to pee a lot if we if we the three of us were in a spaceship
that flew into like a cosmic event that turned us all a radioactive event that turned us all
into superheroes you would definitely become the stretchy guy yes right right right who are you
what is mark yeah what am i am i am i flaming i think you're the flame all right i'll take it
and i turn into the stone i guess oh yeah you're the thing i'm the thing i turn into the stone, I guess. Oh, yeah, you're the thing. I'm the thing. I turn into the thing.
We don't have a woman.
No woman.
The chair just develops a bunch of vaginas.
Those couches turn into pussies.
That's a great couch.
We just start fucking the couches off.
Where are they?
The building's on fire.
They're just fucking couches.
No wonder Bill Cosby shopped at Sleepy's.
All right.
Is that what it's called sleepies yeah
that's a mattress store that's what i was looking for yeah you know what i like most about this
drink just a little fucking bad bad i know that's not me that's the that's the beer jew who brings
he brings in the nice uh i believe this is him isn't it yeah yeah it's for the cherries
yeah i mean dude i manhattan i like a you ever have a Vucaray? That's in New Orleans.
What is that?
Yeah, can you look that up, Matt?
It's square.
It's almost like a Manhattan with absinthe, sort of.
Oh.
Absinthe is like the devil's.
That's the devil's saliva.
Get that absinthe all over your ding dong.
It doesn't work, though.
You'll see shit, and you're like, no, I'm just hammered.
No, yeah.
Well, they only say that because i think uh previously uh before there was administrations to monitor how much booze was actually in booze
there was absence batches that were just like 170 proof right so people would have two cocktails
i'd be like oh i'm seeing shit it's like no you're actually not seeing shit yes because you're so
fucked up you can't focus they do that on movies
too where the guy will go and then it's like whoa and all this shit like that never happens i just
turn inward i hug my knees i cry but i've never seen a pink elephant have you done hallucinogen
yes do you remember you've never done acid or truth we've talked about this before okay well
if you ever want to mark is mark is pushing me do it on the podcast, which is a hard no.
I'd be fun.
I'm not busting my cherry on the podcast.
All right.
Can I tell you?
It'd be fun.
I've never done shrooms with Mark, but I've been.
So two years ago, maybe, to whatever, 2019, we're in fucking Salt Lake City.
Yeah.
And it's Bert, Ari, Ranzizi, O'Neal, me.
That's where I gave you that STD.
Oh, in the tub?
Yeah.
We all got in the tub.
No, I was the only one who didn't get it.
Because they all got in the hot tub and all got a rash.
And I didn't get it.
I was the only one.
Was it you?
I had a rash cooking.
And we got in the tub.
And we all got it.
I was the only one.
No, I got in, I think, day two or something.
I didn't have enough exposure.
I was rubbing my shit on your pillow.
I didn't tell you.
Well, there was that last night.
You gave everyone a rash?
Apparently.
Well, it was not a rash.
It was, what do you call it?
Oh, I-
UTI.
Yeah, UTI.
Yeah, I had a wicked UTI.
Doesn't that hurt?
You get used to it.
Well, you know, you don't have to enjoy peeing.
It's quick. Yeah, yeah. It's like giving birth. You do it yeah you know you don't know you don't have to enjoy pee and it's quick
you know it's like giving birth you do it because you have to there you go because you're
biologically programmed to get this thing out of your crotch but the fucking no it transferred via
hot tub that was news to me well you remember you everyone they were y'all took shrooms oh yeah
the last night that was and we just were like we're in we're just in the fucking condo or whatever the airbnb and mark's just like popping up giggling places yeah so you just be chatting
and mark would just appear right there it's like it was so fucking funny like you just be like
forget that you're and you're in the kitchen eating you're like i know right i mean i eat
this shit all the time and mark like ah me're like where the fuck did you come from yeah
Michelle Wolf told me
that she shroomed with you once
in Bonro
and she said that Mark was
she described him as a cat
he would just show up
from time to time
and then run away
and you'd be happy to see him
and then he'd run away
yeah
you said that about a tell once
I remember
a tell is like a cat
at the cell
he came over to say hi
and I like
asked him one too many questions
and he ran
and he walked away
and you were like
you scared him off he's a grumpy cat he's like a bodega cat you pet him a couple
times then he just runs away like i just be happy for the moment he's gonna be happy you get to tell
for a minute he's over there spraying he's over there spraying on something right yeah this smells
like iced coffee and cigarettes in a filter i love love it. I can't believe you gave people a rash in a hot tub.
It's so weird to get that in a place where you relax.
Oh, yeah.
Good point.
That sucks.
My argument's also that that hot tub was definitely not vetted before.
For sure.
It was an Airbnb hot tub.
It could have been fucking.
And it had six sweaty, drunk guys in it.
Drunk comedians.
Yeah.
That's also.
That's where you mentioned blowing a guy.
Yeah.
I don't know if that was supposed to go out in the air.
I don't fucking.
That's it.
Yeah.
I've had one.
Here we go.
This is.
Is that all right?
We can edit.
Editing is for the weak.
Wow.
That's a T-shirt.
Now, do we let them know i was the guy you blew or no
it was there that's when you mentioned blowing a guy when you were blowing me right
sorry about that right no i mean there was there was it was uh 2013
right i'm shit you're not the year of blowjobs yeah 2013 uh right after i filmed uh half an hour
my commons center half hour uh-huh we were we were at the after you know you've done did you do you 2013, right after I filmed Half an Hour, my Comedy Central Half Hour.
Uh-huh.
We were at the, after, you've done, did you do, where did you do yours?
Boston.
All right, so it was Boston.
Okay, same year.
The Royale Theater.
Same place.
You remember, afterwards, we're all at the W, just getting shit wrecked,
canned, you know, in the Comedy Central suite.
Then we got kicked out of there yep and
then we just they kept doing the thing we're like 20 of us went to another person's room then only
seven of us went to another person's room then four of us and then it ended up being me in this
he was one of the he was one of the employees that's all i know and he was like an attractive
dude who i could tell had been like flirtatious towards me he's a hunk you know yes i know the
guy yeah because i he tried to blow me
i said no because i have a little self-control yeah but uh he's a good looking guy but i was
at that point where i was like huh single why the fuck not do this why not just give it a go
wow so so like an open-minded you yeah i'm very not giving head you're receiving head what i did
but we both have both have why i because it was in that moment
where i was like i have to know i have to like i'm going for it you know yeah no right on here
yeah oh i didn't know you blew him i thought he blew you you said you said it in the setup you
i did not know you blew him i was joking well this changes everything this is
a very specific type of homophobic i just had no idea what i'm getting a phone call i gotta get
out of here yeah yeah i want my son to be a cashier not a receiver damn it i look at i look at it like
like visiting i don't know like you visit a place where you're like ah that was interesting i i see
why people are into it not for me all right or like a dish if it were a place what would it be um atlantic city
uh miami yeah you know what i mean like i get it i get why people love it but just
not my perfect analogy that's good i i had a gay thing with a kid when we were seven we made out
for a while and i yeah yeah yeah yeah we were seven years old made out for a while. Whoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whoa. We were seven years old.
I mean, I was at, you know,
all boys school,
so it was prison gay.
But no, we, yeah, for sure.
That's pretty young
even for a make out with a woman.
Well, yeah, I mean,
that's the thing.
It's like you can't,
you can't physically
really go further.
Right.
Your dick doesn't get hard.
Good point.
You know, you're limited.
I feel like it doesn't get soft
at that age.
I feel like I had a boner
until I was 14.
Really?
This is your superpower.
I feel like some people
remember their first boner.
I remember the first one.
I'm like,
why is it soft?
Will it ever be normal again?
That would be,
that'd be a,
like everyone always gets
like superpowers
like, you know,
in those movies.
What if there's a guy
who just can't not get hard?
He's always,
second he comes,
he's hard again. He's like, fuck, this is my movies. What if there's a guy who just can't not get hard? The second he comes, he's hard again.
He's like, fuck, this is my life.
It's Viagra Man.
You kind of help with the villains.
He tries to run by, you trip him.
You know, it's a trip wire.
It took me a second.
It was good.
If we were an improv group, that would have been...
I'd be out.
That would have been a moment like,
guys, we're not we're not
yes-handing mark here that must be the hardest part you never think about that improv groups
they must kick people out sometimes yeah if you mom enough i'm sure that must be tough oh yeah
where do you go from there yeah i've seen i have seen i have seen good improv same but it's like
it's you could tell it's fuckers who've been together for a decade.
Yeah. And just hang out all the time.
I mean, technically, in many ways, a podcast is just improv.
True.
Yeah.
True.
You know what I mean?
We're just like hoping to get something good out of this.
We're all laughing together.
We're like listening.
We're talking.
And there's just no like, I'm a mad professor.
Right, right.
And I demand you give me your firstborn child.
Give me a location where you should be.
There's none of that.
You just go.
You're not getting any audience.
I forgot about that part, which is never.
You know Todd Glass?
Yeah, I love Todd Glass.
He's one of my fucking favorites.
Funniest guy.
So what I love about Todd.
So crowd work.
I think crowd work's fun and all, but i feel like a lot of times crowd work is essentially just repeating whatever they just
said back to you in a different tone where you're like where are you from like oklahoma like oklahoma
right people like they acknowledge the person yeah but todd but there's some people who are
excellent at that shit but todd does this other level of crowd work where it's almost like he's taking what the audience is saying and then
putting it into his, the fucking crazy comedy machine that is his brain and is being like,
what if?
So I saw him once in LA.
He was like, where are you guys?
Do you guys do, do you do improv comedy?
Are you guys improvisers?
And one of the guys was like, I do.
He's like, it's crazy, right?
Because when you ask for suggestions, it's bullshit.
You don't, you don't really care what they say. You already have a thing planned. You already do. He's like, what if crazy, right? Because when you ask for suggestions, it's bullshit. You don't really care what they say.
You already have a thing planned.
You already do.
He's like, what if I did that?
What if I was the stand-up comedian?
Here's what was going to happen.
And he gave the audience the script.
He's like, I'm going to ask for a suggestion.
No matter what you say, I'm going to hear bulldozer.
All right?
So he comes in, and he leaves the stage, comes back out, and he's like, all right, guys.
I'm a one-man improv group.
Well, I need a suggestion of a machine that's used on a construction site and people are just railing
random shit he goes i heard bulldozer and then he starts fucking doing it and it was just like
oh man that's a level of like comedy that i miss seeing more of silly not silly or just like taking
risks way off and left field right where like now and i mean it's
very meta right i mean you're kind of very meta and i try i know i tend to lean that way sometimes
a lot of comedians still do that a lot but i also feel like there's a pressure now because
comedies now i don't know if they're fucking like telling kids at 14 years old or younger like you
could be you're funny you should start doing comedy when you're when you hit puberty yeah like there's just a bigger middle class of comedy there's ever been
it used to be like you're you're joan rivers or you're like a struggling road comic and now it's
like there's a lot of people making a living at this sure kind of you know in the middle or it's
or it finally became respected as a craft there's probably both because i think because everyone
not everyone like i think for the longest time, people
didn't look at being funny as an actual talent.
True.
I think people were like, oh, singing's a talent.
Playing an instrument's a talent.
Acting, I can't do those things.
Acting's a talent, whatever.
But I'm funny.
What?
I don't know if it is.
I mean, it's like being athletic.
It's vague.
It's a big umbrella.
But if you are athletic and you get good at basketball or why should i because i read this book on a hone
comedy sure yes you have to call it but i do think you have to have it i agree you have to
and i think the it is a talent like you have to have like that innate that ability to just
say something like do you remember the first time you were ever funny i remember some lines i had
growing up i vividly remember the first time really i was ever funny what was i was in the
sixth grade and i was at holy cross school for boys yeah yeah in the lower yeah that's where i
went to middle school that's where i eventually knew i was gonna blow a good dude one day i guess
wow but uh i beat it to the punch i remember i remember the you remember how teachers sometimes would let you just fuck off for
the last 15 minutes of class yeah uh because good especially in louise yeah good teachers
really seems to care we always do the rodney do you remember uh goodies headache powder yeah
so i remember our the teacher was letting us fucking goof off whatever
and he was putting goodies headache powder in his drink and someone at one of the students was like
what is that he's like it's headache powder i've been you guys are driving me crazy i've been having
a pound or all you know whatever and i just i remember instinctually just raising my hand
teacher called on me and i went my uncle snorts goodies up his nose and he spit took it's the first time
i've ever with us that and laughed his fucking ass off and everybody else just sort of laughed
and i didn't really even understand what the fuck i meant by that whoa i just knew i had somehow
ascertained i love it snorting powder up an adult's nose was something that they did but
weren't supposed to do a A mature joke for your age.
Right, but I just remember being like, oh, this would be funny.
Yes.
And that's a mild version.
I'm sure people have way better versions and way funnier comedians,
but I think you still have to have that thing.
Yes, yes.
It was in you and it had to come out.
Right, and you use that.
I think like athleticism, everyone can be athletic, but not everyone is an athlete.
Does that make sense?
Agreed.
Same thing with comedy.
Everyone can be funny.
Everyone can get better at it.
But yeah, you have to start somewhere to make a career.
Or like anyone can be funny in a certain situation, but not everyone can be a comedian.
No.
Does that make sense?
No.
And I think that line has been
blurred lately where it's like oh yeah well no you can do this you just have to move to new york
you have to be a comedian you have to get past at the comedy cellar yep you have to get on leno
or late night or leno you have to have a photo of you holding a microphone on facebook right right
right it's like if you do one open mic you can say i'm a comedian there's a formula to it but
yeah but it is interesting.
Like also, it's great that there's less gatekeepers, but at the same time, you know, bad shit always gets a lot of views.
Like there's that guy who, you know, you see that guy bragging that he got all those eyeballs over 100 million eyeballs because he did a squid game like Ripoff.
Oh, yeah, that fucking guy.
All those eyeballs over 100 million eyeballs because he did a squid game like Ripoff.
Oh, yeah, that fucking guy.
And you're like, okay, but this dude had an actual idea.
This is the dude that had the idea.
You're still not creative.
Right, right, right. You're bragging that you are.
It's almost like being a good businessman over being, you know.
That's rewarded more than originality.
I agree.
I'm a fan of the original.
I like that.
And this guy's just kind of glomming onto that.
But you could say the same for Weird Al.
Yeah.
You know, but I like Weird Al.
But Weird Al still created.
He's still writing.
He's still-
His own lyrics.
And every single one of Weird Al's songs, he found a theme to his parody.
Like, even his newer shit.
Like, I think the best one he's done of all of
weird al's catalog so far even though when is it weird al's catalog i know right but he's got a
funny that he's got the same word uh for all his music as bob dylan yeah absolutely his canon like
if weird al is not inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame it will be it will be a fucking
crime he's a legend yeah but like i met him once
sweet as pie yeah he was awesome great i think some of his best work was his later shit like
the handy the making fun making fun of the iggy azalea the i'm so handy you don't even know that
but he raps as a handyman oh It's a great song. I'm fat.
I'm fat as gold.
Dude, Amish Paradise.
Oh, that might be his opus.
He always found the perfect...
So silly.
I always liked Weird Al a lot.
Wait, do you have an old school zinger you said as a kid?
Because I got one.
I mean, they're not that funny.
I mean, that's the thing.
When you're a kid, they're just not that...
Well, that's okay.
Yeah, okay. I mean, it was... I i literally i was in second grade i got in trouble
with a teacher and uh i just got on my knees and did jim carrey in the mask you know the guys when
he's like did you do this i said it wasn't me it was a one-armed man but i did the jim carrey voice
from the mask and he laughed his ass off and it, that got me out of trouble. So when you got on your knees, you were still four and a half feet tall?
You starting forward?
I got on my knees.
I said, just let me out of trouble.
I'll suck your dick, old man.
Come on.
No, I said, no, I did the Jim Carrey voice, and he was like, he laughed.
And you see that shit, and, of course, then you start taking it too far,
because you see that when you get that laugh, it is a drug you're chasing some shit right and it's you it's hard to
get that high back when you're a kid and you don't know what the fuck you're doing yeah that's why
you know theater or some shit mine was uh my first birthday party i made the uh the invitations you
know you had to hand write them out you know 50 of them or whatever and i wrote be there be triangle not great oh that hey dude that's are you kidding me that's a fucking
ah it's a tweet but uh yeah but then the big laugh i remember getting was in like fourth grade
my teacher yelled we were learning about expressions like what goes around comes around
and you know whatever it is and she said now what do you not do in a glass house?
And I said, shower.
Killed.
Ooh, that's a good line.
That's actually still good.
Killed.
That could end up on some of those Comedy Central little one-offs.
Fat Jew just made a meme out of that one.
That was a good one.
But here's the clinker.
After this girl, Danielle, cameielle came up and she was like you
were funny today do that again tomorrow and i'm being like so you start to learn the power of
comedy yeah do that again tomorrow that's the same that's the audience member you see before
the show like you better bring it tonight yes fuck you that's what it was just for that i'm
gonna phone it in and get drunk right before the show. Wait, is Fat Jew still a thing?
That guy's still around?
I'm sure.
Either that or fuck Jerry.
There's all those memes and jokes.
People like us, right? Okay, like a year or so before that whole thing when he stole that dude's Instagram thing,
I was in a movie with Fat Jew, Marc Maron, Eve, and Metta World Peace.
Wow.
Jeez, this is like the birthdays of the day. Dude. It. And Metta World Peace. Wow. Jeez.
This is like the birthdays of the day.
Dude.
It's such a random mix.
Dude, it's a fucking, it's a movie called All Wifed Out.
I think it's only available on iTunes.
It's dog shit, probably.
But I never saw it.
But I remember shooting it.
I was like, this is ridiculous.
But I was in every scene with Eve.
Ah.
And like two scenes with Metta World Peace, who can't fucking act.
Sorry.
I can see that. Sorry, Metta. Love Metta, though.
That dude thought he could act. But he's a fucking legend.
That dude would roll around. New York legend. We love you, Metta.
Yeah, okay. Yeah, but you can't act.
But he's a nice enough guy.
But fucking
fat Jew, that dude
told me, and he could have been fucking with me,
but it changed my perception. He was like,
all of the Hasidic Jew neighborhoods
in Brooklyn, they're running ecstasy through.
Oh.
And I was like, what?
And he broke this whole thing down where he's like, I'm telling you, they have their own
police departments.
No one's going in there.
That all ecstasy flows through.
Interesting.
Weird.
The Hasidic Jewish neighborhoods in Williamsburg and Crown Heights.
And I was like, holy fuck.
If that's true, that's kind of amazing.
Yeah.
That they're just like, women can't walk past the Purim thing.
Not the Purim.
What is it?
They got to wear wigs.
No, but what is it?
No, they're weird with women going out at night or something.
It's something weird.
What is it?
There's a time of year where they can't have the string.
Oh, the string.
That they can't cross the the string uh oh the string that they can't i've seen across the
women can't leave the yes or speak english in some situations hold on we gotta go you wrote
women can't i'm like oh this is gonna be a fucking dangerous one the first thing that
popped up was women can do anything yeah yeah yeah you ever heard of that i don't know oh man
not a good Jew over here.
You can't cross these lines, but you can snort some lines of Molly.
Yeah, apparently.
Molly Steinberg.
That's a girl I dated.
Did you really?
No, no, I'm just kidding.
That'd be fucking funny if you did.
Have you ever dated a Jew?
You like Jewish women a lot.
I've had sex with many.
Israeli, by the way.
Wow.
Ooh, talking about a tough cookie yeah my
god she uh she would do a weird thing where i'd bang her and then i'd finish and she'd go leave
it in wow all right see we just be laying there i'm like looking at my phone you know just sitting
there like am i good now she's holding a little mark who's going uh triangle, triangle. But the whole time he's talking about a vagina.
Right, right.
Wait, but you're Jewish, Sam, right?
But I'm not religious.
With a jacket.
I mean, yeah, I'm not a religious.
Caitlin, my girl, my partenaire is Jewish.
Is she really?
Cook, Jewish name?
I know, right?
She seems so cool.
Her mom, her mom's like legacy Hollywood Jew.
Whoa.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Different style of Jew out there.
Yeah, yeah.
I get rolled up on a lot by the Hasidic guy.
Me too.
It's like, are you Jewish?
And I'm like, oh, no.
And they always just immediately.
Beeline.
I'm like, what if I say yes?
They just want to know.
I'll come hang out.
No, no, no.
It's a trap.
I did it once.
It's a big mistake.
Yeah, no.
I'm on the street with Ron on yesterday, both Jewish.
And they come up to us, are you Jewish?
At the same time, go, no.
We've just been through it too long.
And then Liz at the cellar is right next to us.
And she's like, I should have yelled out, I am.
We're like, oh.
You're trapped.
They're relentless.
I did it once. It's a to see i had a minute i had
nothing to do that day and they took me off to the side did a big prayer and they said a bunch of like
hymns and whatever and they smelled like shit and then they circumcised me but but it was weird it
took like 30 minutes and they read me a bunch of passages it sucked yeah that's what i should have
asked for i'm like can we do some manischewitz some shoot just to shoot a bottle of manischewitz yeah something these are fucking
good i got these are very good these are going the ice too the ice kind of makes it a little nice
it goes it's a little more it cuts it cuts a little yeah and i gotta slow down this is good
ass remove this wait what's this bourbon we're drinking oh is this fucking basil hayden's yeah
oh christ you know it?
Yeah, dude.
I mean, I did host a show about drinking for two seasons.
That's right, with Jake Larson.
I love Jake.
I did retain some fucking information that was forced down our throats.
Yeah.
And one of them is that Basil Hayden's.
I think that was a gift.
All right.
Good to know.
That's good shit.
Now, how hard is it?
Because we drink a couple times a week for this show you had to drink what every day when we were filming we we would do like five
days per city and usually i would say three on average three to four bars per day wow it would
be all day it would be all day it would be by the end where you just fucking hammer dude i would i
was having like i was having episodes where i was episodes where I would wake up and not remember where I was or who I was for a few minutes.
You don't want to black out while filming shit.
That's a bad thing.
You don't want to black out while sleeping.
That's the best way I could describe it.
I'd wake up and have to piss or something and be like, where am I?
Chicago.
Chicago.
Oh, wow.
Sean.
Sean. My name is sean like it was just like i just like my brain was so just inundated or that's not the right word there he is what channel was the
show on it was on esquire they would play on the airplane yeah what about uh what were the best bars
you were at i mean that's that's the fun that's a fun question because people will like ask me that
sometimes i'm like if you watch the show you saw how fucking hammered i was right yeah i barely remembered any of it i
will say i still believe this the best two drinking cities yeah in the country are new
orleans and chicago oh meaning that you can drink a lot or meaning good bars good meaning just
meaning just like it's an actual culture here like Like I love drinking in New York. Yeah.
But the bar scene in New York, it's kind of homogenized.
They're all kind of, you've been to one, you've been to a mall.
When's last call in New Orleans and in Chicago?
There is no last call in New Orleans.
Right.
Okay, the Bourbon Street too.
Okay, what about Chicago?
Chicago has everything from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m.
So there's bars that close at 2 a.m., but then there's bars that close at-
As long as you have the option for the after hours.
Oh, yeah.
And 5 a.m. I think is only have the option for the after hours. Oh, yeah. And 5 a.m., I think, is only on the weekends in Chicago.
But you can drink.
Every night of the week in Chicago, you can find a place to fucking stay.
Malort, that's where they drink in Chicago.
That shit's disgusting.
They made me do a shot of that.
They made me.
Like, I had no choice.
They suggested I do a shot of Malort during my last weekend.
Also, dude, they have their own St. Patrick's Day in Chicago.
That's a fucking drinking culture. That's what I'm saying. it's a green river chicago is great chicago is a fun
place drink i also i'm an asshole because i'll do that to people in chicago i'll order shots of
malort and be like guys we're doing a round of tequila and knock down and they come over there
with shots like hey cheers to you and then everybody's like what the fuck i'm like malort
you just got malorted you
should have looked at it it's kind of green yeah lord fucking is rough rough not good what is it
it's almost like a licoricey uh cough medicine but dude so caitlin pointed this because i when
i met caitlin she was living in chicago but uh they have an amazing marketing team so there was
a i think this is kind of famous you look this up
there was a billboard in chic uh in a chicago neighborhood where one bill it was two billboards
next to one another one was for cooked champagne and it was just two glasses cheersing and it said
she just found out she's pregnant right and then the next one they bought the billboard next to it
and it was two shot glasses clinking and the text was
oh no i'm sorry the strike that the cook's one said she just found out she's having twins
the malort one said she just found out they're conjoined at the head ah i love that so like
they like there it is yeah yeah yeah right there right there yeah yeah
now you see that makes me want to go buy it. That's what it is. That's the power of comedy.
I mean, that's the thing.
I just did a weekend in Chicago and...
It's awesome.
Yeah.
I used to tell you Hall with Kinane and it was fucking amazing.
It's one of the best comedy towns.
Yeah, they were telling me there that the Malort advertising people are cool as fuck.
Yeah, they get it.
They get it that the...
I mean, that's a huge.
It tastes like Satan's balls.
Dollar's Shave Club.
Dollar's Shave Club.
They were all funny ads, and that's why it blew up.
Funny stuff goes a long way, especially in the advertising.
And also, Chicago is like, they're a cool city.
I mean, honestly, when a city gets that cold, the people have to be cool.
Dude, I say.
That's true.
You can't get humble.
The Midwest is my favorite part of the country to do comedy in.
I can see that.
Because it's a cold weather people are forced to develop personalities.
It's so true.
Because they spend half the year inside.
You can't just hang at a fucking beach all day.
Yeah, it's a tundra.
I'm with you.
And I love-
That's great.
But I also love, I'm here too.
Like the Midwest, Northeast.
They're grateful too. Cold weather people because they get a good But I also love out here too. Like the Midwest, Northeast. They're grateful too.
Cold weather people because they get a good day or good.
It's a distraction from the cold is tough.
It is.
It's hell.
Well, I also feel like I love New York.
I love certain rooms on the East Coast.
I also feel like you get too many like there's a love of like edge here on the East Coast.
I can get a little fucking exhausting where you're like
just listen to what i'm fucking saying i'm not gonna be just because i'm not saying certain
words that make you believe that i'm on your fucking level tough ass i think you get too
many fucking tough guy like ah come on that's comedy supposed to be edgy i'm like is it it's
supposed to be funny you fuck i don't i i hate that whole like a comedy's supposed to be funny. You fuck. I don't, I hate that whole, like a comedy has got to be this,
that,
and the other thing.
And it's like,
no,
it doesn't.
It's just gotta be funny.
I hate that too.
Dude.
The people that are like,
cause you know,
cause I'll tell us sometimes I'll have like a joke that people are like,
that's a dark joke.
I bet you like this guy.
And then they show me a clip and he's like,
so I'm throat fucking this baby.
And I'm like,
I don't like this shit.
I would actually say to both of you,
both of you are very well you're both extremely
skilled at dark subject oh thanks well we watch i watch a lot i don't know about you but i i watch
a lot of comedy and i just see i don't want to be that guy i don't want to do that i don't do that
yeah well edge thing you want to play it well it's like a it's like a violin oh yeah you know
you gotta know the instrument if you're looking to be edgy, it's dangerous. Yes. Because you're trying to do a thing rather than be funny.
Well, I look at it like a joke is like a sword, right?
The edge should be sharp, but you also have to have a spine and a blade and a grind and a fucking handle.
And the blade itself has to be well-tempered.
And if you just focus on the edge part, the moment you try and strike something, the rest of the fucking thing will shatter.
Because you weren't paying attention.
But the edge should be there.
But the edge is actually the least important part.
And only certain people can swallow it.
And to all the people jumping on the, listen, this guy didn't watch enough Blademaster.
Do you ever see that?
Do you remember that show?
No.
What was it called?
Blademasters?
It was like a-
A sword show?
It was like a top chef for blacksmiths.
You got Matt doing a lot of Google searches over here.
Blademaster.
Yeah, there you got it.
No, that's not that.
That sounds like a gay porn.
It was.
Coming at the W.
Oh, there it comes.
Here it comes. The belching it comes. Here it comes.
The belching's coming.
Bring it on.
This is a belch-friendly show.
Mark Belcher's like, how deep in Rick and Morty are you now?
I finished the first season.
That's it?
I'm getting there.
That was months ago.
I never had time to watch.
I fucking, I'm obsessed with, I love that show.
It's perfect.
Look at the picture above you.
It's behind the captain.
Oh, yeah.
Forged by fire.
Forged by fire. Big difference. Yeah, yeah i fucked that up i fucked that up but a friend friend of mine
this was not me a friend of mine uh uh he he was like they should have called it master blader
oh way better good yeah that's good no bow and walker shout out to you bobo he makes he's a he's a craftsman in denver uh but
what's your what's your favorite drink when you're drinking with jay would you was it a lot of beer
what would you know the thing that was the thing that sucked about that show was that like we
didn't have any creative control and that's the thing people would always got like people got like
legit mad at me when i quit and not because they were huge fans of the show.
Because they were like, how can you walk away from such a plush?
I'm like, it wasn't plush, man.
No.
We love drinking booze in general because it's an escape.
But when it becomes your fucking job, it sucks.
It's good.
So you're drunk.
And we couldn't fake drinking on camera.
Yes, every now and again, we would tee up another shot and not actually take it.
Because we'd already done three. And it was was like 2 30 in the afternoon kind of shit and we still
had to do and so like we would actually and even if you were faking it like i am drinking this drink
at a slightly slower pace me too but i am already drunk because booze affects you well it's also
it's all bourbon i mean we just drank a fucking i mean this
has got to be but that was the thing there's many yeah whiskeys yeah shit you're right i didn't
think about we would go to bars and have to drink their craziest drink or their most potent shit or
do a shot of 50 year old appleton rum san francisco was that place rum wasn't very good tastes like
wet newspaper no how do you like san francisco san francisco is a great drinking city um yep got the water there san francisco is fucking cool
yeah it's a cool city i wish it would fucking be taken away from the goddamn tech people tech
fuckers yeah i have a guy i went to high school with lives there him and his wife are both doctors
and they they had to leave they couldn't afford to buy anything in san francisco wow two doctors
two doctors couldn't buy.
Man.
And then there's these fucking turds out here who are like, well, what are you going to
do, man?
That's just, you know, hey, America, you make money.
It's always a guy like that who says that shit who actually doesn't have any money.
Oh, yeah.
The guy who's always like, whatever, dude, they're just making money.
It's like, what are you worth?
You're not worth shit.
You just fucking, you fantasize with them because you think you're gonna fucking be one
of them one day by siding with them you're not well everyone thinks they're gonna be rich that's
the thing it's like that's how that's how you get people is like no one's like everyone no matter
what your job you're like i'll put it together yeah yeah yeah i'll figure it out something will
click as you said that i'm like fuck I didn't know Sam was filming my mantra.
I didn't know Sam had security cameras in my bathroom.
That's why Bernie's got a hard time.
Bernie's like, we got to tax these fucking millionaires.
And everyone in the country is kind of like, but I could be a millionaire.
Yeah, it could be me.
I could do it.
I mean, dude, the fucking, we got to stop trying to elect Bernie, start trying to clone him.
Get a young Bernie.
Get Larry David.
I remember Tim Dillon called me like three years ago.
He's like, did you hear they're taxing millionaires?
I'm like, you're doing a lot better than me.
I was just in Madison doing comedy on stage.

And it was like
A dude who looked like me
Who was a bouncer at Caroline's
He walks over
And whispers to him
And he just looked up at me
And goes
He says no
I was like
Yeah right
I guess I'm fucked
Exactly
Dude
One of my favorite
I'm sorry
I'm gonna say
This was years back
As I show up Or between shows One of the the manager at the time was a guy named Joe,
and he was like, hey, man, there's a table up front.
They're a little hammered already, but we're watching them.
Ah, you see.
Already a dart.
That table got thrown out at the end of the feature set.
Perfect.
They got them out.
So I get on stage right after, and I'm like, how about that table, huh?
And then no one was sitting at the table.
I'm like, it's kind of a waste of, kind of a shame.
Does anybody want to move up?
And there was a bunch of applause.
And then, but one table was really emphatic about it.
And I was like, can they move?
And from the God mic, Joe goes, it's fine.
So this table, they move up four people into this table.
And within five or 10 minutes, they're now a problem.
The table is haunted.
So they get thrown out.
And then I was like, I think it's this fucking table and chairs.
I go, can we get this table and chairs out of here?
I said it as a joke.
But then they come down.
The staff comes down, like, picks up the table, stack the chairs and walk out.
And I'm, like, trying not to fucking lose my shit laughing because i
can't believe they're doing that good but i'm trying to play into it like yeah you get a get
the fuck i don't come to where you're made and give you an extra leg you know just i'm blowing
away that they're actually you know what you know what honestly is always uh yeah that's why it's a
great one of the greats no it's one of the greats and it's something about like liberal cities in
red states.
I don't even know if Wisconsin's red this time around.
I forgot.
It was blue this time.
It was blue this time.
It's a purple state.
It's a purple state.
But those, when you get, like, Lexington, Kentucky.
Great club.
You're in a red state, but you got to-
Broadway?
Yeah.
Or off-Broadway?
That's a good one.
One of the most magical rooms. Yeah, it's a Broadway. Yeah. Yeah. Or off Broadway. That's a good one. One of the best, one of the most magical rooms.
Yeah.
It's a magical little room.
It's a magical room where you just,
you get people.
They just fucking know how they know you're kidding.
They know it.
It's a,

duncan trussell's podcast great guy he's an ashville i think duncan's in ashville i think
he's a very cool dude.
I like Duncan a lot.

I'm trying to think of other cities that don't get the shine.
Gainesville, Florida is a cool town.
Really?
Yeah.
Really cool town.
But would you go to college there?
Well, I mean, sure.
Because that's where the University of Florida is.
It's a college town.
Right.
Okay.
It's cool uh
what's that place uh i got my second one lined up when you're ready not hit me where's nasa in
alabama oh huntsville huntsville's cool and all the nasa people move there so you got the hillbilly
and the nerds kind of coming together you got you got motherfuckers like dip in the lip yeah like
like that like dirty sort of frayed hat yeah and like the boots and then they have a fucking
british accent yes because they're they've been there for 10 years but they're from like
southampton england cultures collide you're like are you a british dipper i thought that was a i
thought you had to be american it does sound like a British term it's got the fucking dipper
is it dipper then
what's the other city
Eau Claire Wisconsin
wow never heard of it
so yeah there's a room
they don't have a club but they've got like a comedy
production crew called Clearwater Comedy

Eau Claire, E-A-U.
Eau Claire, yeah.
Eau Claire.
Not just Eau Claire.
It was Irish.
Yeah.

San Diego's amazing.
Great town.
That's a great city. San Diego's great. San Diego's amazing. Great town. That's a great city.
It's a fun...
San Diego doesn't get a lot of shine because it's got L.A. and the Bay.
Yes.
Like, you put San Diego in another state, it's their A city.
It's a military town.
Here we go.
San Diego's like the Clay Thomas.
Clay Thompson?
Thompson.
Shit.
There you go.
I'm fucking dropping the ball here.
Me too.
As if they were on another.
Wait, does that analogy make sense as if Clay Thompson was on another team?
Oh, yeah.
But also, I'm such a hoops junkie that I'm kind of like, yeah, you see the Patrick Ewing thing.
I'm such a hoops junkie that I think he gets more points for being on a winner.
To me, like Kevin McHale on the know uh chris bosh on the heat like you to me get more points for just
winning and yeah sure and he i mean he's i think he's the second best shooter of all time and
behind steph who's his teammate yeah steph is uh i mean clay is fucking cool if you follow i follow
him on instagram and he's hilarious like he's He'll just be driving with his bulldog and just be chill.
He's just a cool fucking dude.
Yeah.
And he's always dressed as Will Ferrell from Semi Pro.
He's just a fun dude.

And the Slugger itself.
The Louisville Slugger.

Oh.
I went to the factory and bought one.
I don't know if I'm even a baseball guy.
I was just like, I want to get a bat.

Good producer really seems to care.
But no real tradition.
We had a fake tree growing up, but it always bothered me.
A fake tree, yeah.
The fake trees are nice, though,
because you just break them out every year, but I get it.
There's something about walking past the trees in New York City
and the smell.
You're like, even as a Jew, I'm like, oh, it's so forbidden.
Yeah.
It's like a Palestinian woman. Right. You're not going to get that with the i'm like oh it's so forbidden yeah it's like a palestinian woman

Sure.
I feel like we're Mets fans
and the Christians are like the Yankees fans.
It's like you guys have the big thing
and we're just like,

get it on a thing, get it on HBO, get it on Netflix,
get it on a Netflix, get it on something.
Don't put it out there for free.
I was the tail end of that generation,

My dad was like, what the fuck?
I'm here, yeah.
It's so funny when sometimes people do Q&As and it's like, all right.
And then it's like, oh, no one has any questions.
I know.
That has happened.
Well, I usually would just say, give me current events.
Because I feel weird being like Q&A.
I'm like, who the fuck am I?
Yes.
But, you know, yeah, I mean, that's epic.
You're hometown, you're a hometown hero, man.
You do your thing.
Yeah, you are.
Your shit's so good.
I know it's going to pop off.
And you'll get a clip.
So is it different material?
Yeah.
Wow.
Well, it's a different, like, it's just that, like, what I i recorded and the thing that the album that's coming out on the the helium uh the helium
jeez i'm fucking my hammer these are the album that's coming out on christmas eve helium yes
that's like material the thing i'm doing on uh the third at tipatina's it's it's based off of
the one person show i did at ed at Edinburgh like four years ago. Whoa.
That I shelved when I came back from Edinburgh in 2017. I shelved the show because it was a lot.
And it's a comedy, but there's like emotional parts of it, but it's a comedy.
But I shelved it because I couldn't really do it at clubs, and I had a bunch of clubs lined up.
Right.
And then just time passed, and all of a sudden I was working on this other hour,
and then I recorded that for an album For Scuttlebutt
So prolific
So where can people find it?
Is it just an album or is it going to be on YouTube as well?
The album is going to be
You can find Helium Records but anywhere albums are got
It's called King Scorpio
King Scorpio
And then we're going to release it on January 24th
On YouTube
December 24th
January
We're doing the album release on Christmas Eve January 24th on YouTube. December 24th. Oh, no. January.
Okay.
So we're doing the album release on Christmas Eve and then the special release on 24th,
but it's unofficial.
And then the actual fucking...
I don't think it's up yet.
Why are you unannounced?
Shouldn't we be plugging the shit out of this thing?
Oh, it's because we don't know exactly where we're fucking putting it yet we know we're putting
on youtube but i think it's going to be helium's youtube oh okay we don't know yet but like but
but the but the special i'm filming at tipatina's we have we i do not know where that's ending up
yet but i know 800 pound gorilla's producing it all right and we're uh in in conjunction with uh
all things comedy i believe oh but like we don't we just don't know like it's like that's we're in conjunction with All Things Comedy I believe. But we just don't know.
We're going to film it and then be like
alright where's it going?
These days it's just about getting someone to do it
with you. I mean you fuckers both.
I did 800 pound without the lunch.
Yeah so there you go.
They're great. They do good work and they let you
have the spotlight. They give it all to you.
Yeah.
And I mean Sam's probably got two more specials in a documentary in the pipes. work and they let you have the spotlight they give it all to you yeah yeah yeah and i mean you i mean
i mean you're sam's probably got two more specials in a documentary in the pipes
you know and also and a and a and a food and a cooking show
and your own like how look how drunk you are i mean this is the pot calling the cops on the
but like i'm with you well no, no, I mean, you know.
I should have said, let's do Jim Gimlet's.
Well, you got so much.
You have so much backlog, man.
It's exciting.
I think it's going to be huge for you.
It's about time.
You're like an artist.
You're all over the world.
You're doing your Edinburgh shit in Portland and all that.
It's great.
I mean, thank you.
I think it's going to be a big year for you.
It's just about you. This is something that, thank you, but this is something that going back to what y'all were saying earlier or you were saying earlier specifically it's like
there are less gatekeepers and that is great yeah but it also means that like there's a whole
another wing added on to being a comedian now that is was difficult to adjust to here's what
it is we used to be boxers
you know you look at this boxing sunny liston and muhammad ali and all these guys sugar ray
and then now we have to be mma fighters you can't just have bought you got to have a wrestling and
a grapple and all this other shit you can't just be a businessman now yes you gotta have every
you gotta have twitter you have to have a video you have to have a. You have to have a video. You have to have a sketch. You have to have a podcast.
You have to have a stand-up set.
But it's good.
It is good that we take back some of that control.
I do agree.
Their taste is lacking.
The industry is always going to suck.
But us doing our shit, having a link to have people send to.
When your friends promote you and you're like, here's the link link it's so much better than watch at 9 p.m you know no one fucking does that
that's true it's like homework it's it's good and bad pros and cons bittersweet
yeah because would you want to you ever heard of the old buddhist quote now i'm shit-faced
do it that old buddhist quote where they say if you all the people all of the human race got
together in one place and we all threw our problems in a pit you'd pull yours back first
you know like saying like you got a crick in your neck i'm uh you're fat whatever it is we all have
our own shit but i don't want to be fat so i pull that back because i want my shit i'd rather be
impotent because you at least know how to deal with your shit.
Yes, exactly.
It's the same with the industry.
It's like, yeah, the industry sucks now.
You got to do your own shit.
You got to post videos.
But this is still better than just the industry.
Yeah, certainly.
Does that make sense?
I'm not actually impotent.
Everything's way better than it was, honestly.
I mean, they're so bad.
I mean, it also sucks how much power Netflix has, you know,
because, look, HBO is cool,
but also, like, no one's popping off HBO specials either.
So it's kind of like YouTube, right?
Isn't that weird?
It was the watermark.
I still look at it as the watermark in some ways.
Or just, like, the personal, like, oh, HBO.
But, you know know now it's purple
it's real what's really like netflix and then youtube which is weird you know well it's because
they're the only two global streaming oh they're the only two that are global like vimeo where
you at you're fucking dropping the ball here what are you doing vim you can swing in here and have
some fucking i just think youtube is is hard. It's this giant...
They're owned by Google.
I mean, it's hard to fuck with them.
Vimeo's at the W Hotel getting its dick sucked.
Like, wait, what?
What are we missing on?
Wait, so I just...
For some reason, when you said you were hammered,
one of my favorite Mark Norman hammered stories is...
I mean, there's numerous.
I'm going to tell...
I'm going to give a PG version.
But we were at Whiplash.
Oh, yeah.
Old UCB show.
Old UCB show, Monday nights, 11 p.m.
It was fucking fantastic.
And you leave Whiplash, and the play was go up the block to the Molly Wee.
Yes.
And there was one night where, like, a whole group of comics would all come up.
And the vibe was that the show was kind of weird that night
and everybody's sort of like i don't know but we'd all been drinking because there was booze
i don't know i don't think i want to go the molly way and mark's just like no fuck that come on
come on we're in new york we're doing comedy come on we're going to we're going to molly way come
on he does his mark thing was like ah come on what are you gonna go go home what are you what
are you gonna go go home what are you gonna take the train for it no come on come on we're all going and like this whole group of
us is like eight of us like yeah yeah yeah the reality is i live 18 hours into brooklyn and i
don't want to go home well no that was a funny part we're all like yeah we're going to the
molly we're all like fucking charged like a fucking and we're walking on the molly way and
i look back and i see mark running towards the a the opposite direction you got us all fucking riled up and like yeah we're going and no one looked at you and you
just as soon as we go and you're like it's a scottish goodbye you just get everybody riled
up and you go the other way i always said there's the irish goodbye and then when you go when an
irish goodbye and then when you realize you left your phone and have to go back and pretend like you didn't irish goodbye that's the scottish hello
mike cat or it might be josh gondelman somebody has that great joke that that's the irish goodbye
the jewish goodbye is we have to say bye to everyone nine times and then leave
oh yeah i might have butchered that that's funny though yeah what are there any um should we do
holiday movies oh yeah christmas
app right we do a bit should we do a peeve do you have a peeve i've i've worked but i got tons of
fucking peeve hit us with a peeve my newest okay so an old a long-standing peeve oh i don't i don't
think this one's anyone next week wow all right all right i mean i don't know we could do them
that too i don't give a shit i mean after Vacation, I feel like it's a drop-off.
It's a drop-off?
Christmas Story, Love Actually.
Christmas Story. I mean, Die Hard. I still go Die Hard.
Oh, Die Hard. You think it's a Christmas movie?
It's a Die Hard Christmas guy. We get it.
It's a Christmas movie.
Bad Santa's pretty good.
Bad Santa's great.
What else? Anything else?
I've never seen it's a wonderful life
what i've never i've never actually seen either scrooged is fun scrooged is actually
probably one of an underrated because bill murray gives that like and you could do like that speech
that bill murray speech at the end so good yeah i mean i grew up with that movie i'm actually yeah
i'm gonna throw scrooged in there. All right. Yeah.
No, Peeve.
I saw it when I was young.
I don't even remember it, to be honest.
Scrooge?
It's dark.
Bobcat's in it.
I mean, dude, Groundhog Day is dark.
That's true.
It's kind of weirdly dark by today's standards.
It's a new play on Christmas Carol, the Ghost of Christmas Past, all that shit.
Yeah.
It's actually, it's pretty fucking great.
It's pretty good.
I was just hanging out with Bobcat in Chicago.
Oh, really? He's an awesome dude. He's an awesome dude he's awesome dude and still and still got it he went on his movie with dana
gould his new movie uh check it out it's on it's anywhere you buy that stuff it's great oh yeah
i'll check that out like oh the documentary guys yeah certainly dana's the best i love that funny
as hell and funny off the cuff as well as written.
One of the best comedy minds.
I mean, just so good.
Simpsons for years.
Yeah.
One of his episodes just got censored because it's a Tiananmen Square joke.
There's like CNN story.
It's all over the news.
It got censored.
Really?
They won't play it in China because there's a Tiananmen Square joke.
By the way, Dana's adopted like multiple Chinese girls.
Yeah, right.
So it's like maybe this isn't like China phobic.
That's what I hate.
We never take in the good as much as we take in the bad.
You know, if you said this horrible thing, but you also did this great thing, we just
focus on the horrible thing you said.
It's like, what about the great thing I did?
It's also a joke.
It's also a joke on a comedy show, on a cartoon.
I mean, the truth is, like, they just, people just want,
I believe that there is a dopamine release that happens
when you are angry or offended.
And for years, it just wasn't a massive experience like it is now.
Now it's on.
And I feel like there's a younger generation or even an older generation.
I don't think it's generational.
I think it's just like there's a type of person who enjoys being like oh no no no not even listening as a i can't
believe there's a person who like enjoys that like moment and like it makes them feel good
yeah they're not gonna win because we don't no one's getting censored well they could do it alone
in their room but they don't they have to broadcast it which shows that it's for some other reason than but i mean like i read morality there's
this whole fucking i can't remember where i read this guy i'm drunk but like censorship isn't really
happening it's not real like censorship means we say something a fucking government authority
comes in that door and arrest all three of us for speaking our mind lenny bruce was censored
exactly like but being kicked off of like a platform or someone not wanting to hear what
you have to say that's not censorship that's like whenever alex jones or any of those fucks go off
on like the censorship they're like no one's what no one just we no one cares who you have to
fucking say well the clothes that's not censorship we get to that is with china shit like i feel like
a lot of like lebron or whatever be like would be like, this and that and this and that.
And everybody goes, yeah, yeah.
And then you go, what about China?
And he goes, all right, we got to get out of here.
And you're like, well, that feels a little sensory.
Well, once you're in the billionaire realm.
Oh, you mean like he doesn't want to talk shit on China.
Yeah, but that's still not censorship.
Things seem to get compromised.
That's self-editing.
But it feels like, why is he so worried about this and not worried about that?
Well, that's probably because he's got investments.
For sure.
Of course.
The NBA is huge in China, and the truth is, any billionaire, in terms of being an activist,
has a huge Achilles heel.
Let's be real.
You cut corners to make that kind of money.
But China has slavery and all this shit, and everybody's like, hey, what are you going
to do?
It's China.
But, hey, we've got to stop doing this.
LeBron's also done a lot of incredible activism.
I agree.
I agree. I agree.
I'm just saying.
Yeah, I mean, look, every billionaire's got their shit.
Right.
No one's perfect.
No one's perfect.
Everyone's got shit.
We act like if you're not perfect, we're going to ruin your life.
I mean, Bezos has done a ton of terrible shit.
He's also given a ton of money.
Yes.
I mean, you know, it's complicated.
He gave me two bill.
He didn't.
But that's where I reveal I'm a billionaire now.
He sent you to space.
Yeah.
NASA's really dropping the fucking ball on the opportunity to straight up, like, extort some money from these billionaires.
They take them to space and they're like, this is amazing.
Well, we're not going back.
Branson, you want to get back?
We're going to need about three, Bill, to get you fuckers back on the planet.
If not, enjoy the sea of tranquility and consider yourself mermen.
You want to end world hunger?
Here we go.
Yeah, nasty.
You could really be fucking saving the day here.
You take one trip around the moon, back with 200 fucking bill yeah well it's
like i said 100 bill why do i turn to a fucking dot like a like a cab driver like a union delegate
400 bill i had some i had a manhattan but i sound like i'm from fucking stan island
well kim kardashian just saved a bunch of kids from Afghanistan. So there's your money well spent.
I just looked at, I was like, why am I, do I have headphones on?
Oh, that's Matt Peters, the producer.
These Manhattan's go down too easy.
It's like a David Lynch film.
I will say, there's something about whiskey cocktails in the winter that just hit different.
Say that five hit different.
Say that five times fast.
Whiskey cocktails.
Something about whiskey cocktails in the winter.
That's not that hard.
Whiskey cocktails in the winter, is it?
Yeah, you're like Mother Goose all of a sudden.
Winter whiskey cocktails in the winter.
If he's Mother Goose, who are you, Father Duck?
This one is weird. We might be a little drunk on this did you put fucking cbd in here
manhattan's in the winter man it's fucking can't beat it man it's glad i drove because you get the
well you get the ice so you're kind of chill but it's like the warmth of the whiskey
it hits everything.
Can I sleep here after this?
I might need to nap it up.
Can we order some of that Chinese food from downstairs?
Now you're talking.
I want some of that scrambled eggs and shrimp.
Oh, I want to say one thing about, you talk about the table.
Get this table out of here.
Yeah.
Rory Scovel, one of the funniest guys of all time.
Oh, dude, Jedi.
Brilliant Jedi.
He was an old wives' tale of legend.
This went all over the country in the comedy world.
You're talking about in Vancouver?
Seattle.
Okay.
Seattle Comedy Fest, which is a big deal.
Everybody's nervous.
Oh, God, you want to win.
You want to do well.
You don't want to get kicked out.
He went on stage at some theater.
He's like in the finals of seattle
comedy fest a man and a woman get up during their during his set and walks to the bathroom or leaves
or something and he was like that was weird did i say something and he goes you know what fuck it
let's he goes in the crowd brings their table on the stage and brings their two chairs up on stage
they come back from the bathroom and they're like, what?
And he goes, oh, this is your seats.
They come up on stage
and he starts riffing with them and it's
killing! And they're just riffing
with a couple on stage. Rory Scoville needs a
camera at every show because I feel like
magic will happen. Genius!
There's the other story about him having a cordless
mic and he's walking around the
stage like fucking with everything in the room
He was just so good off the cuff
And he sees an elevator, like an old freight elevator
But it's glass
So he gets in the elevator and he's riffing
In the elevator while going up
So they can all see him go up
He's just like on another level, that guy
Yeah man, Rory's fucking great
He really is funny
Where you been?
Scoville?
Where the fuck you been, buddy?
I remember he did a thing like Barlow and Esme back in the day. Oh, yeah.
Great show.
I remember it was a Brett Favre.
This is how long ago it was.
Brett Favre was, I think, on the Packers.
So this is how long.
This is going to date the story.
But they're playing, and he just starts.
The game is on in the back, and he just starts narrating it.
He starts calling the game game and it's killing like
he's just doing and that announcer calling brett farve and the crowd it's like an ulti room they're
fucking dying dying that's how you do it man and then we gotta follow that with uh so what's up
with the post office dating's weird yeah he's just he's he's he's touched he's like enlightened his comedy way we're like i wish
you could harness it incredible improviser yeah you gotta be in the room for him put that guy in
any moment any moment he's always in the moment 9-11 on the tower he was killing even like in
even in just person he's just like yeah chatting with him he's just he's there he's in the moment
yeah he's just important to be in the moment yeah i know he's like talking about things on like he's just like chatting with them he's just he's there he's in the moment yeah he's just important to be in the moment yeah i know he's like talking about things on like he's like what'd you get and
you're just telling what you order and he just responds and you're like i never i never looked
at shrimp that way before yeah and it's not like he's gonna where you're from there's none of that
shit it's all next level just in the moment shit yeah that's why i put him in todd glass like just
give them a show where they just don't even give it a theme it's just like it's why i put him and todd glass like just give them a show where they
just don't even give it a theme it's just like it's todd rory yeah and let him just just follow
them into places i saw them once todd glass was on stage at whiplash this is nine years ago and uh
he's bombing and rory goes we get it you're gay yeah i was hosting oh really and then todd glass
like you tell that killed and it bothered him and he goes uh
oh yeah well that's why your dad's dead but roy's dad's dead and i mean they just went back and
forth just saying the worst shit and their best friends but uh it was it was pretty pretty epic
that's when you get in the basement we have a new fucking mark here. Yeah. The Belgian. I love it. Welcome to the club. I'm into the Belgian.
You don't like it?
No, I love it.
I'm into it.
We need you to belch.
Yeah.
Did you hit one?
You hit one on deck.
You hit one in the pipes.
I know.
How'd you pull that off?
I don't know.
That sucked.
That was terrible.
The episode where Sam barfed.
Barfed.
I just started puking all over the mic.
Oh, man.
By the way, my girlfriend's been farting.
What do you think about that?
I'm working on a new bit about how my girlfriend will sometimes...
I need an ending to this, but I'll say she'll...
Sometimes she will leave the room to fart,
but she never does that with her feelings.
You know, like...
That's right.
It's a classic Merle.
And I was like, well, you know, as weird as I prefer the farts.
Yes.
I've never had a woman fart in the bathroom at 2 in the morning.
I've been like, guess I got to go in there.
That's the turn I have right now.
I don't know.
A fart will dissipate the feeling.
You got to face them.
You don't have to face the fart.
When you said your girlfriend's been farting lately.
Well, I guess we've been together long enough where she's like.
Yeah, no. I mean, there's a comfort level. Is that just lately, though? When you said your girlfriend's been farting lately. Well, I guess we've been together long enough where she's like, meh.
Yeah, no, I mean, there's a comfort level. Is that just lately, though?
No, but I think there's a guard down that is set.
Yes.
I think women are weird about doing that.
And I'm kind of like, I don't give a shit.
I go, what are you holding an end for?
I always say, dude, I always fart early.
I fart early, too.
I sit down, I go.
I have a bit.
I would like, I would like, you know, I did a thing where I would light a fart in front
of a girl every time just because it's very doable.
I don't know.
If I had to fart right now, I'd give me a lighter, but I don't.
Really?
That's a Southern mating call.
Yeah.
But you do that and just and see how they react.
And you know, if you're going to be in it for longer than that night.
Yeah.
But yeah, dude, farting, I mean.
You just don't want to, look, this is how I look at it.
She's allowed to fart.
She's a human being.
It's a bodily function.
But you don't want your woman farting every 10 seconds, and you don't want your man crying every 10 seconds.
Farting for a woman and crying for a man are the same.
I don't know. I'm just saying. Look, it's okay for a woman and crying for a man are the same. I don't know.
I'm just saying.
Look, it's okay for a guy to cry.
Your relative dies or whatever.
You especially don't want her crying or him crying because she farted.
Right, right.
You don't want them happening at the same time.
Or her farting.
Actually, but it's okay if she farts because you're crying.
Suck it up, pussy.
Right. It's okay if she farts because you're crying. Shut it up, pussy. I know when she...
The thing is, like, at least, you know,
the thing is you don't know when a guy's going to cry.
You know when a woman's going to fart.
We ordered Indian.
It's coming.
You know, it's a...
Oh, a funeral.
I feel like you don't want to cry.
Funeral.
I guess certain events.
Yes, it's going out to Indian buffet, going to a funeral.
Those are the two guarantees.
She's going to fart. I'm going to a funeral. Those are the two guarantees. She's going to fart.
I'm going to cry.
But it sucks.
I mean, it's terrible to go to an Indian funeral then.
And also, you don't want to hold either one in.
You're holding a fart.
You're holding a cry.
Something bigger is going to come out later.
Well, you're going to shit the bed yeah
in many different ways yes yes exactly both literally and figuratively yes by the way
can we switch can we make figuratively the word instead of i literally am on fire right now
just say figuratively it's true it's what you actually it's literally one extra
syllable you're right like when i when people are just like like i i could literally eat a horse
like i can say i figuratively eat a horse i get it yeah i i or even when you're using it correctly
it's like do you know any other fucking adjectives well it's like every other one we got to go to the
peak you know you go he's a nazi and you're like he's jewish what go to the biggest one he's a ray he's a whatever
he's a pedophile you go to the he's a nazi he's a jew yeah um yeah yeah guys lewis is hispanic
give it a little friendly little friendly knock on the shoulder there you go he's having a good
run plug other what you got dates you want to plug on the road late december
january february whatever you guys literally have do we get that peeve oh the peeve real quick
what's the peeve yeah hit it with the peeve uh the peeve is so this is not a new one of people who
do not uh who play music without headphones on public transportation. Oh, that's crazy.
Like, I get it.
Okay.
I get it.
It's never good music either. With cyclists, I get it.
Okay.
Because they're zipping by.
Well, also because you can't have headphones on when you're riding a bike.
You have to be able to hear cars and shit.
Yeah, yeah.
I never thought of that.
Yeah, yeah.
Makes sense.
I get it.
But on, it's just like, I get it.
You're on a fucking, you're on a subway.
You don't give a fuck.
It's that attitude, I think. It's mainly like, I don't give a fuck it's that attitude I think it's mainly like I don't give a
fuck I play my fucking music
you can't tell me you can't tell me what
to listen to fuck all y'all yeah
fine fine cool it's always the same music too can we get
just once I want to hear James Taylor
on those speakers that would be great
the one that but the peeve is
now and this is only in New York
I don't know because I don't ride public transportation
all the time in other cities but people watching fucking tv without headphones on on their phones
and crazy crazy what are you out of the bus it's crazy it's an epidemic like i don't like it you
know what and i think you're not in the bull bus anymore well in my day there was a lot of casino
games ting ting ting ting ting you're like come on so my my answer is like if you're if some i like i'm gonna start fucking you're gonna sit there and
watch your bullshit lie it's also like i get it the music can kind of make you seem cool if you're
like i'm gonna play this fucking death metal i'm gonna play some mastodon at full volume and i
don't give a fuck what anybody thinks fine i could kind of seem you make people might people might be like fuck that guy but he's kind of scary but when you're
sitting there watching season one of ozark with no headphones it's like what's your what's the
end game there you're trying i think it's because they're like oh i'm just now catching up on this
so people think i have a life and i'm busy right Right, right. I like Laura Lenny too, but there's a time and a place.
Right, right. And that time is fucking home
motherfucker. Home! Or get some airpods.
Or get some fucking
like, because that makes me want to sit next to you
and be like, I'm going to watch the next episode.
Best moment of my life. I'm going to listen to the
episode you're watching and play the next one.
Best moment of my life. Same time. I used to go to the rec center.
It's a bunch of poor people and old people
and me. And there was always this Puerto Rican guy who played loud music all day long.
Salsa shit, whatever.
Everybody hated him, but he was old and weird, so we all let it slide.
One day, this young black guy comes in.
He starts blaring hip hop, and they both look at each other like, what are you doing?
And he was like, what are you doing?
He's like, what are you doing?
And I was sitting there curling going, ah, fuck you both.
You're both assholes.
And now you're mad at that asshole for being you.
And you're that asshole.
And it was like, it was a beautiful thing.
You look kind of like a Batman villain when you laugh that way in that jacket.
Yeah, I know, dude.
The curler.
The curler.
The curler.
I'm the curler.
Yeah, but it was just, it was a beautiful moment seeing these two inconsiderate cunts.
Yeah.
And they still didn't get it.
They were still like, why are you playing?
I'm playing my music, but I'm playing my music.
Well, welcome to life.
We're living in a society.
Yeah, yeah.
We all kind of have to get along here and just let shit fucking.
But yeah, headphones.
Or just, that would be the thing too.
If I had the money to do it, just have a supply of very nice headphones, some Beats.
I'd just walk over and be like, there you go, man.
Yes.
You're set.
There's no reason anymore.
Consideration.
I just gave you $400 headphones.
Yeah.
That are laced with acromionon.
What's it called?
Acromionon.
Acromionon.
I saw a guy, this girl was listening to rap music really loud, and this guy went up to her and he's like, what are you doing?
We're all trying to enjoy ourselves.
I'm reading.
She's old.
What are we doing here?
She's old.
And she was like, fuck you, bitch.
Ba, ba, ba, ba.
And he's like, well, why are you mad at me?
You're the one being loud.
She's like, I can do whatever I want.
That's what it is.
It's like, I can do whatever I want.
That's what it is.
It's like, you can, but do you want to be an asshole?
You're not a good person.
Yeah.
You're allowed to do anything oh sure you know right and but if you went up to her with a
microphone where are you a good person they go of course i'm a great person that's the problem
they don't know that they're doing fucked up shit and that's that's yeah well that person's never
gonna find someone who treats them well like if you're if you're the type of person that blasts music on the subway
like you're not putting out your best foot forward on the first date right you're gonna be with a guy
who treats you like absolute dog shit yeah or woman and uh he's gonna play music loud without
headphones while he's treating you like shit yeah the next morning he blasts in your ear to get the fuck out. Yeah. Yeah.
That's a good peeve.
It's the classic New York peeve.
People stink.
You get on the fucking train and you're listening to someone like,
man, what if I'm not caught up yet on the unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt?
I wish it was that show.
I wish there was just ones that were watching El Kemper. It's always like Vikings or some shit vikings or some shit yeah yeah right good show maybe the best intro of any show ever i've never seen it
you've never seen the unbreakable kimmy no oh yeah that's a great intro mike brit is in the intro
pull it up matt dude just get the intro of it you're gonna fucking love it so the premise of
the show is so dark the premise is basically these women who are kept undergar underground
as captives, and they break
out, and now they're trying to live a normal life.
But this guy kept them as slaves.

Before the headliners set.
They say they do it to pay the fucking feature.
I'm like, hey, dude, the show's packed.
Wait, can I remind you?
It's a blowjob shot to everyone whose birthday it is.
Yeah.
So I had one night where it was 14 fucking birthdays.
What?
I had to go on stage after 14 blowjob shots 14 yes oh my god
there's almost a fucking hour of shots on stage 45 they're doing these with their hands behind
their back and uh and then you're like i gotta follow this i don't want to do this shit and uh
it's insane wow that is crazy what is a blowjob? Then I go on and shoot in the club.
It's a shot in a little tube that you get on.
And I think I went on there and I was like, you know, half in the bag at that point.
Suck the guy's dick, remember.
Well, there's like a little hyena in a tuxedo.
I'm like, what the fuck is this logo?
And it's killing me.
Just shit on the logo.

It's standard.
So I get off stage.
He goes, this is a fucking family business.

I'm fucking excited. I'm ecstatic
about it. Come see

Go see Sean. He's a killer.
You're not going to be disappointed. It's about time you
put some shit on wax. You got
18 million hours up in the ether.
It's nice to see it coming down.
Most people think it's only 16
million.
It's going to be killer. I'm on the hours. I'm excited, man.
I'm excited, too.
I can't wait.
I mean, look, I watched both you guys' specials, and it made me realize, like, you know, fucking
we all have to be, we're all we got.
You got that right.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
We are all we got.
We can't keep relying on these people up in the sky to pluck us out and put us on a tv show
there are good there are good a there are good industry people out there but there's also there's
two or three of them but it's also i would give i would go as high as six wow but but the problem
is that they have their own game that they're constantly fucking playing with each other
yes they're engaged in a constant pissing contest with each other and the bottom line is
it fucks all of our livelihoods when they decide they have to be better than when they have to win.
When they're engaged in some – where it's not the same thing for us.
Where it's like our shit not only gives you a lifestyle, but it doesn't fuck with your lifestyle.
And when someone fucks up, you only make more money off of it.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
When Rogan gets called out for whatever shit he said that he only gets more attention when chapelle
gets called out for that he said you get more attention like they find a way to make that a
little slur jar for us always fucking make money off of us whereas when they decide to start going
at one another it can fucking dozens of us to hundreds of us at once yeah and it's like we're
all we got we gotta just keep making shit because that's you're right that's the only way and uh
they're they're morally bankrupt and they're doing a terrible job we gotta just keep doing our shit
they keep treating us like the stock market like if we go up and whatever they're like we'll buy
we'll buy we'll buy but then we go down they're like see you later and you're like no we're human beings we're people we're artists we're creators we're trying
to make shit but they just go ah you're not doing it the way we like right now yeah and you're like
but that's not the point that's not the point it's never been the point yeah i mean scorsese
is a bad movie every now and then yeah it happens the the the biggest mistake that culture made i
don't know i don't know when it happened, the idea of giving people what they want
versus giving people what you want.
As creators, that should be our fucking op.
That should be our honing.
You have to get to the point.
We give you what we want.
You have to get to the point where you can kind of do that.
That's a good point.
Yes, that's true.
But you get to that point.
I don't think you get to that point
by giving them what they want either.
I don't think Mean Streets was what they want.
I think that's what Scorsese wanted.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, I think that's a good point.
No, I agree with you.
I don't think anybody in this room has ever pandered.
We're not amongst panderers, right?
No, no.
Except for this fucking guy.
Couldn't pass the ball.
That's his favorite.
But that's what i'm saying my patrick ewing cut out even though we
have that on camera do we man okay good but you gotta remember rodney didn't make it till he's 50
because he just kept doing his thing way older yeah he was older 50 yeah yeah you know but
legendary days are fucking i mean look it still happened but like also we've talked about it too
it's like you want to you want to enjoy the success.
I know.
It's kind of fucked up that he made it when he was 60.
It's fucked up he had 20 years to really enjoy it.
That's kind of a bummer, too.
I mean, you talk about Norm.
I posted this when he died.
But my favorite fucking – I will always be thankful to you for a number of things.
But for one was – I don't know if you remember this.
In 2015, we were doing
some show and at the time i was in la and i was back here and you were like what are you doing
now and i'm like i don't know and you're like come with me let's go to the cellar norm's doing
his last he's running his letterman yes that's right and i was like fuck okay and i went and
seeing that set changed me because he's that right yeah well he does his letterman set and it's like you know it's it's norm letterman that's great and then he goes off on this 10
minute joke about apples oh yeah which i love that fucking bit but it you saw how even at the
cellar one of the greatest clubs on the planet half the audience was still like i don't and the
other half was like, like dying.
That seems like the best one.
Oh, dude.
It's brilliant.
The Macintosh, the old man Macintosh.
But that's what I'm saying.
Like, it reminded me like, oh, yeah, what Norm did was pure comedy. It's the same thing Patrice did.
But Norm, it was like, it's not about you.
This is about me.
I'm the performer.
And it's your job to get me, not my job to play to you.
You come in here.
You've accepted that this is a goddamn craft and an art form.
And I'm giving you something real and raw from me.
And if you can't get it, you're fucking up.
But I'm putting it in a way where you can't get it.
I'm giving you every single opportunity to understand
what this is yeah but i'm not gonna go further and then make it about you because it's not about
you i'm not paying to see you right meet me in the middle yeah yeah meet me in the middle and
that's what those guys did amazingly was like they they gave you such pure real and they're still
louis was so lazy they won't even meet you maria bamford does it yeah exactly i mean
you know fucking chapelle like people get mad at him like he still does this like he gives it to
you like here it is it's fucking here i'm giving i'm not making this hard to understand you just
refuse to get out of your like well this is about me nah right like it's no it's about us as performers and i'm like i know we all i i know
myself personally too i expose my fucking i'm like there it is i'm giving you a few like there's my
anatomy chart you know what i mean like it's what i'm fucking made of if you don't like it fine i'm
not saying i'm not saying i'm for everyone but I'm also saying I'm giving you every opportunity. Yes. Right.
And like writing Joe Rodney did it.
Any great comic does that where they're like, this is pure me.
Yeah.
And that's the best you're going to get.
And if you need me to fucking hold your hand, I'll walk you out the fucking door so that I can continue doing me.
And that's what.
Then I'll walk you home.
And if you don't like it.
Yeah.
If you don't want to let me upstairs and you're stuck up yeah lesbian yeah let me guess a bunch of fucking
clam chowders manhattan or new england but that's i don't know i just i always love that about norm
where it's like man fuck like some of this shit i mean it's so goddamn brilliant you watch his
weekend updates on youtube he's bombing half of it but they're so goddamn brilliant. You watch his weekend updates on YouTube. He's bombing half of it.
But they're so brilliant.
He's ahead of his time.
He is.
He is.
Because at home we were like, oh, shit.
But in the crowd, they're like, I don't know if we're supposed to.
And you're like, oh, come on, you pussies.
Even Bill Burr. Oh, Burr.
He did a monologue and it was great.
But the crowd was like, can we?
And you're like, it's a comedy show, you twats.
What are we doing here?
He's making jokes.
Yeah, it's edgy or dark or whatever.
I love this, like, can we?
And I hate all this analyzing.
Like, is that OK?
Well, that's not good.
But he's got a black wife.
So you're like, shut up.
No one even knew that.
I mean, I think it was like people have like a standards and practices in their own mind.
Like, does that fly?
Trust the guttural reaction that you have.
Don't make this about some societal rules.
Laugh or don't laugh.
It should be instinct.
It should be instinct.
And it is deep down.
Are you guys finding, though, that lately audiences are back and that's great.
But then sometimes I've done a couple of shows lately where I'm like, God damn, this is tanking.
And then afterwards, there's a horde of people wanting to be like, oh, I really that's great but then sometimes i've done a couple shows lately where i'm like god damn this is tanking and then afterwards there's a horde of people wanting to be like oh i really that was
great and i'm like i get that what the fuck is going on it's like oh you've spent a year
on like watching like you're laughing up here now right did you hear what kennison used to have a
quote where he would sam kennison would say you, you don't want to do pretty well with the whole crowd.
You want to crush for three.
That was his.
Yeah.
I did.
I've never heard that before.
And it just gave me a slight chub.
Yeah.
Well, you crush for three.
You kind of, you're like get three people for life.
You turn the audience.
You find the clitoris in the audience.
That's my big thing.
You just got to stimulate the clitoris.
It takes about an hour and a half too.
Once you get it. Once you find the clitoris. It takes about an hour and a half, too. Once you get it.
Once you find the clitoris, they are fucking.
And oftentimes, much like an actual clitoris, they're just slightly to the right where I'm
focusing my energy the whole time.
And it takes racist jokes to take off the hood.
Plutoral hood.
I love the idea of you just shouting racial slurs into your wife's soon-to-be.
You know, Mike, you want to get – wait, can I throw this out here?
We got to get out of here.
All right, one last thing, one last thing.
You got to plug your weekends, and I'll plug mine.
