And it's not a big fuck up.
We didn't see it when we did the original search.
We've changed the name of this podcast so many times.
Yeah.
It is now.
And the podcast isn't even on the air anymore.
But I just don't want to take another pod's name.
So let's get this out of the way.
We are no longer.
Yeah, this thing fluctuates like Oprah.
All right.
That was a 90s joke.
It really was. You should have thrown
Ricky Lake under the bus
While you were at it
Holy shit
Ricky Lake
Donahue sucks
Fuck Donahue
Alright
Take that the people's court
With Ed Koch
By the way
Judge Judy
One of the richest people
In America

Yeah, yeah.
And Larry King.
We're getting a lot.
Oh, RIP.
Yeah.
We'll get into that later.
We got a new segment.
But let's, out of the gate, we are now called what, Mark?
Ah, we are called We Might Be Drunk.
That's a new name.
We Might Be Drunk.
And I feel like it's like a disclaimer
It lets us off the hook for what we might say
Exactly
It's a cool t-shirt that like a frat guy
Would wear at a party
We might be drunk
It's a good tumblr if you want to make
We need logos
If you want to send us logos
Just tweet at both of us
I don't know
Is that the best system Mark?
Tweet, DM.
I check all the DMs like a fat chick.
So send them in.
I'll read them.
Or just a guy.
Well, a guy is essentially a fat chick.
We're desperate.
We're horny.
We're lonely.
We're not hot.
But yeah.
So yeah, send them in.
And are we changing the email as well, I assume?
Let's just keep the email for now.
All right.
All right.
It's a mile long.
Let's just keep it because it's easier.
Yeah, it's one more drink with Mark and Sam.
Is that it?
Or Sam and Mark.
I'll double check.
We'll figure that out later.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm telling you, we might be drunk at Gmail.
It feels a lot easier, but I don't want to...
Well, let's keep this for now.
We will eventually change it.
Okay.
But yeah, for now, we're still one more drink with Mark and Sam at Gmail.
We'll change that.
Beautiful.
All right.
Now we got the housekeeping out of the way.
How the hell are you?
I'm good, man.
How you doing?
Good, good.
I think that's...
Don't tell me.
Is that the old bar on
17th street?
No, oh wow
Great guess, I think your guess would be
Peter McManus

Old New York bar, old bar
No, I'm rocking
PJ Clark's
A little classic New York
Been here forever
Great spot
Cougar Central, by the way

Great bar
All right
Dilfs, hot dilfs, milfs
The whole
Just rich people in general go there
It's just a cool bar, though
It's just like a classic, great burgers
I believe the original shut down, which is such a bummer
It's in everything, it's in like Mad Men, Woody Allen would like go
It's like old school New York
Damn, they closed?
I think the original did close, I could be wrong
But yeah, bummer
What's up with smith smith and
walensky's i feel like i see that everywhere never been yeah it's kind of like a ripoff of pj clark i
think well it's a steakhouse right so it's i feel like if it's a ripoff of anything it's like
you know oh my god by the way some guy fucking tore us apart i only read one email and this one
dude just like tore us apart for our assessment on Phil Spector.
And I was like, hey, man, we said out of the gate we don't know music.
And he was like, how dare you?
Here's another thing I'm going to say.
We might be drunk.
We don't know.
This is a free podcast, unless you're doing the Patreon, then it costs.
But also, don't get so fucking worked up.
This is an eavesdropping of two dudes
Who are drunk at a bar
That's what this podcast is
We didn't say we're experts
Yeah, that guy who wrote in angry
That guy needs one more drink
I know that's the old name
But we might be drunk
We're rattling off shit
We can keep the theme though
It's still a drinking podcast
Yes, yes, and speaking of that
What the hell are you sipping on there?
I got a little Negron action, a little Negroni
In my Syracuse funny bone mug
I need new cups
I need to get some new glasses here
Great drink in a bad club
Classic
Classic drink
From Italy
It's an Italian drink
They love their Campari in Italy And I believe it was made, it's an italian drink they love their campari in italy and i believe it was
made it was an americano in the late 40s so a guy was drinking an americano and he wanted to be
stronger so he replaced the club soda with gin like it's it's such an alcoholic's drink that
it was like just get more alcohol in here and lose club Soda it's like it was just
Sweet vermouth Campari and gin
It's like a total just like grab everything in the
Bar I love shit like that
What the hell is vermouth
I put it in all kinds of stuff I love a martini
But I don't even know what it is
Well martini you go dry vermouth
And then yeah like a
Negron or a
Manhattan and people Already shouldn't I mean I'm seeing Manhattan with a D With my dumb fucking New York accent And then, yeah, like a Negron or a Manhattan.
And people already shouldn't.
I mean, I'm seeing Manhattan with a D with my dumb fucking New York accent.
But that's also sweet vermouth.
I don't know.
I think it's, I have no idea.
It's like a, is it like a liqueur or something?
I guess.
Yeah, I think it is a liqueur, but I've drank it straight before and it's horrific.
But it works when it's in stuff.
Yeah, that's a good point.
I don't know.
I don't know what it is.
I'm sure there's an actor like that.
There's probably an actor who's horrible on his own, but you put him in something and he's great.
So many.
Yeah, I'm trying to think.
I don't know.
Christian Slater?
He's fine on his own.
Slater's good.
He had a good run.
Maybe Walken.
Everybody loves Christopher Walken, but I don't know if he can carry a movie.
He can carry a movie.
Walken can carry a movie with the best of them.
Dead Zone?
Dead Zone?
What is this?
What, are you going to Blockbuster?
I haven't heard of that movie since 84.
Oh, that was a good movie, man.
Wow.
You didn't see it?
I saw that on USA once with my dick in my hand in a hotel in Cincinnati.
Dead Zone.
Wow.
I don't know what the saddest part of that story was.
Dead Zone, Cincinnati, or dick in my hand.
Probably the dick.
But let's see.
I think he was in Suicide.
No, what was that movie?
Deer Hunter.
He had other people, but he's in Deer Hunter.
He's in Walking Canen can handle shit.
I get what you're saying.
He crushes it as a supporting player.
Right.
Maybe Favreau.
Graydon Swingers.
But I don't know if he can hold a movie on his shoulders.
Yeah, but now he's like the Mandalorian director.
He did Iron Man.
He's doing all right.
He's doing great.
I love Swingers.
I love the whole story behind that. He's just a young's doing all right. He's doing great. I love swingers. I love it. I love the whole story behind that.
You know, just a young kid from Queens trying to make it.
And he he got Doug Lyman to direct it.
Great director. Oh, yeah. All right. So I'm going to be.
Oh, yeah. What do you got? Oh, sorry. I got the get the round ball.
You know, I've been mixing it up. I had an I hadog, whatever the hell that was, with bourbon. Then I had
an old... What did I have?
An old-fashioned...
So tonight, I'm just going straight down the
pipe, baby.
Oh,
McKellen 12. Well done.
Oh, yeah. Look at that little cutie.
God damn this shit.
It's fading out like
Back to the Future.
But, yeah. We're gonna pour that puppy right on top of that round ice.
Love a McKellen, man.
Classic.
Oh, yeah.
Can't go wrong.
I miss those at the cellar.
I think we talked about that when I had one on the show, episode one or two, back when
we were one more drink and we were just kids with a dream.
Yeah, those were the days. Yeah, were just kids with a dream. Yeah.
Those were the days.
Yeah, man.
McKellen can't go wrong.
Scotch.
Ooh, and you do the round cube, man.
Oh, game changer.
It's got just a little bit of kick, but it's still smooth.
I think it's one of the most tasty Scotches, I think.
Double cask.
It's a classic. It's a classic It's a classic
So what's going on with you, man?
How you been?
Good, I just got back from Oklahoma City
And it's one of those cities that flying to is a cunt and a half
It's like eight layovers and two changes
And a baggage claim and all that
It's a nightmare
Yeah, how was the hotel?
It's fine I got a Spring. Yeah. How was the hotel? That's fine.
I got a spring Hill suites.
I like a mediocre hotel.
I want middle of the road.
Yeah.
Because the nice hotels,
you go to a four seasons,
the wifi is $18.
The breakfast is a million dollars.
You know why?
Right.
Because they got in on the wifi early.
I think they got in like early.
So then they were like,
they paid a lot of money for whatever system they have. something like weird but then like the shittier hotels were
like yeah it's free yeah exactly then you get a free breakfast and you know there's coffee in the
lobby you know you try to get a coffee at four seasons it's you know 17.99 or whatever oh my god
don't you hate that shit hate it and it's too hip, I got 17 pillows with tassels on them and a big bed frame.
I don't know.
I don't need all that.
Just give me a towel and a TV, and I'm good.
Yeah.
No, I'm with you.
If I'm booking it myself, I take a buyout, I am going to book a boutique-y hotel just because I want a cool hotel.
I want to see a new.
I'm sick of the chains, but, like, if I'm going to be in a chain,
put me in like a best Western with like a good free breakfast.
And like,
it's just down the middle.
I'm cool with it.
I'm down with it.
Same,
same.
The,
the,
the lady comes in,
she's nice.
She's,
you know,
some kind of crazy Hispanic race and she's cool as shit.
She's in there,
you know,
what's going on?
Not to get too eighties on you,
but what's going on with these,
uh, these, uh, housekeeping ladies. Like they're i'm going i'm good i'm good and they just
never hear they want to come in and these airlines with the peanuts i mean come on i can't no i'm
with you it is weird when they're they just knock on the door and you're like i got the do not
disturb sign on what are we doing yeah and why i'm i'm giving you less work you know why would you want
to come hey they get paid by the room is that right i'm pretty i'm pretty sure i we need someone
to fact check this but i think that's why they're so aggressive about it all right well that would
make sense because they really they're they're like they're shoving it in it's too much lay off
uh chiquita i don't know that That's a black name. Rosalita.
There we go.
I like that you thought that made it less offensive.
Let me just change it to another race that's not me.
Well, I got the Hispanic part.
But yeah, good to be back.
I'm glad we changed the name to We Might Be Drunk.
I might have been drunk.
That's why I said it.
Exactly.
I was altered. I was a different person
But yeah, great weekend
Great to be back
I got up at 5am
To get the flight, and you don't get home until 6pm
It's like a 12 hour travel day
Oh my god, that's brutal
The layover now too, yeah that's horrible
I didn't do shows this weekend
I did do a couple shows during the week
Just running new stuff But I'll tell you what I did do a couple shows during the week, just running new stuff.
But I'll tell you what I did do last night.
I watched the fight.
Oh, I just watched it.
Unbelievable.
That was, I mean, all the fights were pretty good.
That guy, Chandler, was pretty amazing, too.
But the McGregor fight, you're like, holy shit, man.
I'm not a big fight guy, but maybe I'll get into it.
It's kind of fun.
I mean, that was a special case because, you know, they fought before.
McGregor wiped the floor with him, I think, in the first round.
Yeah, but it was like seven years ago, though.
No, it wasn't that long.
Yeah, yeah.
They were both 25, and now they're both 32.
Yeah.
You sure about that?
2014, I'm sure.
Yeah.
Poirier versus McGregor because they kept saying that.
Dude, he also, so So funny Poirier is like
The best guy you just hear him speak
And you're just like I just love this dude
He was like
And another thing like anyone who like works it
Immediately back to their foundation I'm like alright
He's a good dude
Yes yes a good fight foundation
He's friends with Theo Vaughn he's from Louisiana
I love this guy
He uh I went to a UFC Fight with Theo Vaughn he's from Louisiana I love this guy like he uh I went to a UFC fight
with Theo Vaughn like five years ago and Poirier was there and he won and he got out of the octagon
and hugged Theo and I was like how big are you I know you have a mullet but like I didn't know
you knew every fighter this is crazy yeah well it's also, it's funny when certain guys like Stipe Maocic is another one who-
I love that guy.
I love that guy.
But he also is just like a bad motherfucker, but he's like a volunteer firefighter.
I know.
How cool is that?
It's like, as if you're not likable enough.
I met him once.
I have his fucking-
I have his phone number, which is completely-
I did a scene with him on Billions, and we spent the whole day together.
It was Dan Soder's character
Mephi was fighting, that was the episode
And
What? Who are you? You're in Joker?
You know Stipe? I don't know who you are anymore
Okay, here's the thing
It's like Soder's Corner
Brian Koppelman and David Levine
Who created Billions are like
The coolest guys
They make the show very hip obviously but like the corner
For the show is like
I forgot who was in
The other guy's corner but in Soder's corner
It was Tim Ferriss you know
Me who was
Supposed to be his burnout friend
And then Stipe Miocic
Who was the fighter and
You know I didn't really know him
So I was kind of just like shooting the shit with him
And I'm sure he loved that
The fact that everyone else was like oh my god can I have a picture
And I was just like oh what's up man
So I'm sure that made it easier
He seems like a regular knock around guy
Like firefighter
Likes to drink beers and watch football
Or whatever
And he's 6'5 I think
Huge and so fucking cool
Wow
Yeah, I ended up texting him once because I was at Hilarity
I was like, I can't make it tonight, but next time
I was like, he's a good guy though, he responded
Oh my god, that's incredible
Wow, he's a Croatian sensation
I would never have the balls to do that, but he was like, tell me when you're in Cleveland
I was like, alright
Yeah, how cool is that?
He was very cool
I always assume, because I used to watch him. How cool is that? He was very cool.
I always assumed because I used to watch him fight and you go, oh, his name is Stipe.
He's Croatian.
So I always assumed he was from there because of his name and everything because I never heard him talk.
And then I saw him on Rogan.
He sounds like a fucking mook.
He's like, hey, what's going on?
You know, he's just like a big beefcake.
Yeah, dude.
And he I did.
I got into him because he was so cool. I I'm just,
I don't know a lot about fighting. It's not my, like I'm in a, I'm in a basketball. I like baseball football. I'm not really, I don't know a lot about fighting. So I kind of got into him
after cause like, wow, what a great guy. Let me look him up. I'm like, oh, he's like one of the
greatest fighters to ever live. That's I'm a dumb fuck. Yeah. I think he literally is the
heavyweight champion right now he beat uh we
don't have to go too into it but uh he beat this guy dc who's also amazing yeah daniel cormier and
he beat him because they fought twice well they fought three times but cormier beat him once and
he's just a great striker great boxer but then stipe was like all right he might be better at
boxing than me so i have to figure out a plan and he went in with a plan and won he just kept dodging his punches and punching uh him
in the liver and it worked and eventually the guy just crumbled and he beat the shit out of him like
i love fighting i love smart fights like that yeah he was talking about it last night it's
hilarious by the way the guy who hated us the phil specter guy is now like please never talk
about fighting again you
fucking idiots no uh yeah no it was uh it was interesting to hear him talk about it he was
saying like miyotich is in the best shape of his life it was very cool so i'm definitely gonna
watch i'll start watching this stuff it's fun i need stuff to do it's so unpredictable that's
the beauty of it i mean i guess all sports are but like i really thought i hate to say it i
thought connor was gonna take him
Especially in the first round
I felt like he was dominating
And then Poirier
Pulled out some fucking leg kicks
And it was pretty great
That's what all the experts
Were saying
Like if he
It favors Conor
In the first round
But then after that
Because Poirier's
Conditioning is so good
That it was
You know
If it goes further
It's all his
So
Right right
Yeah It's crazy too Like if you would've bet on Poirier Is so good that it was If it goes further it's all his Right right yeah
It's crazy too like if you would have bet on
Poirier
You would have made so much money too
Damn now you're fucking
Watch this become degenerate gamblers
I always think about that I'm like I watch basketball
I'm like I knew that was going to happen
I feel like I should
But I don't eh
I just like it so much that I don't need it
I feel like gambling all the time is for people that like Need that extra thing and aren't as into it. I love it enough to just watch it.
That's true. I mean, they literally say, let's make this interesting. You know, that's what they say when they bet.
Artie Lang used to have a great joke about you want to make a football game exciting. Bet a thousand dollars in the Giants when you only have 500 in your account.
Exciting, bet $1,000 On the Giants when you only have $500
In your account
Man
That guy lives
Legend
He's
Unbelievable, he's so funny
He's probably the funniest guy at a table
To talk to
He can talk about anything
And he's interesting and captivating
Coolest dude
Quick wit, brilliant storyteller
Yeah, I love Artie, I miss him
I hope we see him at some point, man
I know, and his backstory is like
Something out of a
You know, like an old 50s
Rebel without a cause thing
He was like a pool hustler
And he would get into fist fights and he sold drugs
And all this shit
There is a story in his dad, in his book Where his where his dad you know would take him to the yankees games and he
was like when they won the world series he was like all right i can't go on the game on the
field after they win but i can throw you on the field and then say oh my god my son i have to get
him so he's like i'm gonna throw you on the field wow and he and he and it happened and they got to
like march the field with the Yankees
As they won the World Series
It was kind of touching
That's incredible, man
I wish my dad was like that
But my dad wore a rumpled suit and was a lawyer
And I'm like, what a nerd
Now I'm kind of glad he was that way
Oh my god, isn't that weird when you grow up
And you're like, oh man
You look at your friends growing up
Who have like eccentric weird parents
You're like, I wish my parents And then you're like, thank god man, you look at your friends growing up who have, like, eccentric, weird parents. You're like, I wish my parents.
And then you're like, thank God.
Yes.
Thank God that wasn't the case.
I know.
I had a friend whose dad smoked weed and drank, like, fucking high life all day.
And he wore a wife beater.
And he would, like, fix the lawnmower, you know, outside.
And I was like, wow, what a cool dad.
And he's like, oh, he hits me.
He hits my mom.
He's in jail tomorrow you know
now i'm glad my dad's a fucking dweeb yeah i used to have a bit about that the dad who does
he smokes weed with the kids you're like this guy's awesome then you grow up you're like oh
it turns out he's a he's a grown man who does drugs with children so it turns out he's not
turns out he's not that cool uh right right but it's so true you always think that's the cool parent and then you grow up and they're like yikes yeah yeah and i used to go home and be like oh dad
you're such a nerd you know you're doing your taxes like a fucking douche you know and
my dad was like yeah whatever you're doing your taxes it's such a good burn
and i was like ah you're you're on the grid you grid You're sucking up to the man
What about those parents
That are like I'd rather you do it here
Than out there
And it's kind of like let them do it out there
Don't be responsible for a bunch of 12 year olds
Getting fucked up in your supervision
That's almost creepier
I completely agree
My dad was like get out of my face
Go outside
Go break some shit
He did not want me around
Make it a challenge
Don't just give him the keys to your liquor cabinet
At 12 and be like, knock yourself out
Yeah, exactly
Go explore, go fuck around
And do shit
That's too insular
Now you're drunk around your mom
You got her in a headlock
Like, hey, you put on weight, cunt
You know, it doesn't work
It's not a good lifestyle
What, uh, yeah
It's not a good lifestyle at all
What about, uh
Getting drunk around other people's parents was awesome
Yeah
That was
Yeah, I'm so grateful
Like, I remember Really thinking it was cool
That I knew kids
Who smoked weed
With their parents
And now I'm like
I can't even imagine
Being high with my mom
I think it would be
The worst thing ever
Oh god
That's a nightmare
I'm on edge
Around my mom already
If I was high
It would be
It would be a nightmare
Yeah I just feel like
It's like the last person
I want to get baked
Like I love my mom
I just don't want to do drugs with her.
But the kids who do hard drugs with their mom, they're just like, oh, fuck.
Yeah.
Remember when you realized that parents were just older versions of you?
Because you used to look at their parents.
It was like another sector.
It was like another group.
And then you're like, oh, you're just Me A few years later
You're just me with a mortgage
Yeah
Yeah it's fucking weird
It's weird
It's weird because you kind of
I mean you used to have a great bit about it
About how you're like
Oh these drunks are just making it up
As they go along
You know
Oh yeah right
I mean
True story
It's so
But it's
You know
You look at them with reverence
And you're like
Oh my god
It's They're so important And they're They know They know more than me And then with reverence and you're like, oh, my God, they're so important and they know more than me.
And then you grow up and you're like, they were faking it a little bit.
Of course, of course.
And then your mom pulls your dad aside like, why did you say that?
I said no to that.
You said, yes, you're killing me here.
Like these weird power dynamics, you know, and you had no idea all the behind the scenes stuff.
One of my favorite lines in The Sopranos ever is after they get into an argument with meadow i think she wants to go to
like spain and do like a year abroad or something and it's a whole fight and they're like what do
you do like what do you oh no not even a year abroad she wants to get a year off find her
and and they fight and she runs away and and carm to Tony and she's like, what are we going to do when she realizes that we're powerless?
Wow, that's heavy.
That's fucking great.
That's a great line.
It's so true.
That nails it.
Yeah.
We have friends now with little kids who have to discipline them.
And I'm like, I've seen you do blow off a stripper's ass.
And now you're like, hey Ricky, you know, put that down
Yeah, exactly
Yeah, dude, I'm so not good
At being around kids
I was with Salacuse the other day, our buddy
And we were just walking around, he's with Charlie, the little kid
And as we're walking, I forget the kid's there
So I'm like, man, do you hear about that lunatic
At 110th Street on the subway the other night
And he hits me and I'm like
He was giving out candy to everybody.
It was crazy.
He just kept handing out candy.
And he's just like, you fucking asshole.
You hear about that knife-wielding lunatic on the 110th Street stop who just was like butt naked?
Oh, yeah.
Crazy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ended up dying.
Really?
Pulled someone onto the tracks
Another guy jumps on to save that guy
Good Samaritan
And then the naked guy got burned by the third rail
Whoa
But the other guys are okay
The other
Yeah, they had like
They went to the hospital
But it wasn't serious
Wow
I mean, I don't know if they're okay
They're a little shook up, I'm sure
I'm sure they're not gonna to take the subway for a while.
Wow, man.
New York's back, huh?
We're back, baby.
Every news story I see is like, you know, I saw one where a squirrel was wielding a knife.
Did you see that one?
A squirrel?
There's a squirrel in Harlem in some lady's backyard.
He's holding a knife.
It's like, Jesus, this town is out of control.
It's weird that we do get kind of happy because it's like, you know what?
It is craziness, but for some reason I'm like, yeah, it's like people are still here and they're still dealing with the bullshit.
And that kind of speaks to the resilience of the city. I don't know why it makes me happy, but like, I do feel like the people that stuck it
out and stuck around, I kind of like, all right, you get a little, you get a little extra New York
honor. You get a little New York badge of honor respect. Yeah, definitely. Especially all these,
these Brooklyn queefs I see who bitch and moan all day. Then, then now they have Instagram videos
of them at their parents' beach house. So like, I'm getting out of New York, you know, and I'm like, I thought you were this artist
I thought you were this struggling, you know
Starving artist, and now I realize, oh, you're
Fucking loaded, your parents live in Connecticut
On the lake
Well, it's also just like a fucking
It's like, how is that good for your art?
Yeah, yeah
Well, they just don't want to be uncomfortable
Running away from your life
Is not good for art.
Exactly.
Good point.
But I guess they're like, I live in a shoebox.
I have no money anyway.
And now I can't work.
So I got to leave.
But like, hey, come on.
We stuck it out.
I think pivoting is important right now.
And I think you should, you know, find ways to create despite, you know, although I guess
so many people have a podcast now They could probably do that from wherever but
You know if you really want to be a comic there's ways
To get around this I think
Yeah yeah you gotta adapt you gotta get creative
You start a pod like we did or you do
A web series or
Put out a special on YouTube whatever it takes
You gotta stay relevant
Gotta hustle man yeah it's uh
It's such a
Fucking weird time it's like It's funny it's like i was
doing like an outdoor show and some guy drives by on the sidewalk on like a dirt bike and i'm like
that's not legal then i was like wait what i'm doing is not legal either this is all illegal
good point yeah it's it's the wild west and and we're all in on it it's weird how it's become
normal you know like everything is was crazy.
But now it's all we talk about is vaccine.
We had a crazy election.
There's fucking people riding at the Capitol.
Like everything just keeps one upping.
Not that that's normal, but like everything is just like.
The vaccine is every every conversation we were like.
I know.
It's funny when it's like the people that are lining up, how like there was word they were like, ah, they're going to go bad.
So people show up at the end of the night like they're fucking muffins at starbucks you're like can i have one
i gotta get that cronut they're running out oh i didn't know that no people at the end of the night
were like there's extra vaccines okay they're gonna have to throw them out so yeah but then
there's other places like mount sinai where they didn't get the vaccines in but they took
appointments and then they ended up not getting them in
So those people didn't even get vaccines
So it's a fucking mess obviously
But you knew that was going to happen
Yeah but you also got to be grateful
You know the polio vaccine took 14 years to perfect
14 damn
And now we've knocked it out in like 9 months or 8 months
It's pretty crazy
Yeah I think that what was the record for a vaccine
Before this is like
years it was it was yeah what like six years or so i don't i don't know so i don't know either
there was something it was a lot somebody's pissed in the uh inbox phil specter guy and another thing
yeah he's got a lab coat on don't don't talk about vaccines if you don't okay we won't talk
about anything we don't know anything Does that make you happy?
You fucking piece of shit
Yeah, people are upset
I think it gives him a personality
He knows about Phil Spector
He cares about it
And so if we fuck it up
We fucked it, I understand it
I'm fucking around
I've been drinking
We might be drunk
We might be drunk
McAllen's going down easy.
The problem with these airplane bottles is I'm about to kill a bottle.
Literally, I'm about to finish a bottle, and it's bad for you mentally.
It's also like a little badge of honor where you're like, yeah, I finished.
It's like a short story.
You're like, I completed it.
You know what I mean?
It's not a whole thing.

sometimes i'll just watch something and like laugh and you're like yeah you forget how valuable that
shit is man like i know when you're having like a rough day when you're down in the dumps you
watch just a fucking new funny thing It's fucking great
I was watching this show
How to with John Wilson
Have you seen that? Oh dude I wrecked that
Last week I couldn't think of the name
Yeah I think you mentioned it to me
In a text and then Salacuse mentioned it to me
In a text so I watched the first couple I love it
I love this guy
It's like documentary meets comedy
Is it real?
It's real
He's a weirdo
He's not feeding these people with shit to say
Some of it's almost too perfect
I know the amount of footage this guy has
Salacuse told me a funny story
I read an article about him
And he said
The IRS hit him up
And they're like like you're writing
everything off this is crazy and he goes no i just carry a camera around me i'm always working
literally and they're like you can't just write off 24 hours or 12 hours of your day you don't
have a job and he's like no this is what i do and they came to his house and he showed them the stack
of zillions of tapes and they were like okay okay he looked like a hoarder they're like we gotta get the fuck out of here so he's incredible man yeah i love it it's i mean
you know what was brilliant about the show to me is that like it borders on making fun of these
people and then he has that moment with the end at the end of the pilot where this young he's he
go the if people haven't seen it he just documents. He ends up going to Cancun to get a vacation,
but it's MTV spring break.
So it's like,
it's a nightmare.
He's at the resort and he's with this young kid who's like,
seems like a bit much.
He's like,
wants to be a rapper and he's like a white kid.
And he's like,
you're like,
all right.
And then he tells a story about his friend dying.
And you realize that's why he's in Cancun.
He's like,
why is this kid here alone
And then you're like oh fuck
He does a good job of like bordering on making fun of people
But then showing that they're three dimensional
Yes
And it's kind of
It's a hard line to walk
And he does it really well
It has warmth as well
Yes
And you realize he's lonely
Did you see the one with the neighbor or his landlord
Who's that old Polish lady
Oh my god
I can't wait I'm loving it
It's great it's warm it's like you said
It's got heart but it's silly and a lot of visual gags
And just the footage he gets
He's just filming an EMT walking out with a gurney
And they drop the body
And he's like oh shit and they put it back
And that's just a random
shot he got in Brooklyn somewhere
it's incredible it's incredible and he
yeah it's just so funny
yeah I it's funny
Salak is like I don't know if you'll like it I'm like
what am I fucking made of stone come on
man I don't like when people are like
they recommend something like I don't know if you'll
like I love it I don't know if you'll
like it and you're like right I'm sorry am I you'll like it. I love it. I don't know if you'll like it. And you're like, oh, I'm sorry.
Am I not up to your fucking standard comedically, motherfucker?
I hate that shit.
Well, I get what he's saying because it's not exactly comedy.
It's deeper.
It's like kind of a people.
It is comedy, though.
It's definitely funny, but you wouldn't go into it like it's a Jim Carrey movie.
You know, it's like.
That's not all I like.
Well, I'm not saying you.
I wouldn't recommend this to. You know when someone's like, you're like all i like well i'm not saying you i'm i wouldn't recommend
this you know when someone's like you're like i remember a guy once said this to me watching this
like she's from like england or something some comic and i was laughing really hard she's really
funny forgot her name and uh years ago so many years ago and the guy turns to me goes oh i didn't
think you would like her and i'm like what the fuck does that mean i have to like everyone who's like me what makes you think i love myself well you know i don't know i just i want to say this though the the dj guy or the rapper guy
i remember being that kind of guy yeah me too just lost you're going out to florida to try to
get laid and try to make friends and you're getting drunk as shit every night doing drugs,
and you just want a connection, and you've got nothing.
It's like you're just floating in space.
You've got nothing to hold on to.
That's why comedy is such a godsend for guys like us.
Well said.
Yeah, I feel the same way.
We drank so hard when we were young.
I think we were searching for that connection.
I feel like there were nights between us when we were young comics
where we just fucking linked up and talk for hours you know we'd be at a bar
whatever at a club whatever we were but it's like that shit is hard to find so if you're young
and you're searching for that shit it's there you will find people like you or that connect to you
it is it is a challenge though you know when you're young And you're like I feel like I'm not like
These people because that kid wasn't
Like those other kids right right
He was different he was weirder
He was quirkier and they were like you
Know hot dudes fist pumping
And like smoking hot girls and bikinis
And he thought like hey they're
Cool I'll be cool I'm cool but they don't
Accept but he was in pain too
It's it's also interesting when you're in pain and you're trying to maybe internalize it by being like, I'll just go party.
And it's like, well, that's not how pain works.
You don't get rid of pain by going to Cancun and doing fucking, you know, send your frogs or whatever the fuck you're doing.
But when you're that young, that's all you know.
Because I did that.
I was like, I'm bummed out
I'm depressed
I'm sad
I'm lonely
Let's get shit faced
And you know
The saddest guy
That you know
Just kept upping the partying
It was like booze
Weed
Pills
Coke
Then eventually heroin
And then who knows what
And then you get to methamphetamine
And that's when you become cool again
So give it a shot guys
Get in there
It keeps you in line You know It sobers you up yeah before you know it you're you're repairing the vacuum
cleaner in the front lawn but yeah it's uh it's it's a dark time like i always am thankful for
comedy just because i have something to work towards that i care about because i think that's
one of the biggest keys to happiness everybody's like, you gotta meditate And you gotta, you know, whatever
But I think it's mostly finding a path
That fits you and just going towards it
Yeah, and just finding people that you connect with
Like, connecting is so hard
And it's funny, like, I feel like we can enjoy alcohol more now
Because we are connected
Like, I could hang out with you without alcohol
But when you're young
And, I mean, that's why you drink on a first date, right?
Because you're not connected to that person.
So you're like, this is a social lubricant.
Let me fucking lube it up right now.
Yeah.
Whereas with, you know, your friends, you know, guess what?
If you got to get fucked up with your friend all the time, that's not your friend.
That's your drinking buddy.
It's a difference, right?
Big difference. You're my friend who i drink with right right right yes but
we could do both like if you were going sober january or whatever the hell it's called dry
january we could still hang but if you want to get fucked up i'll do that too which is a good
place to be with a friend man people that are sober that is a challenge i really
think about that all the time like i think about going places sober ah like that is i mean i like
i don't understand like i need to get fucked up i'm like having like a drink or two yeah like it's
something to do but showing up sober those people credit. I don't know how many sober listeners we have,
but like shouts out to people that go to things
without a substance inside them.
Yeah.
That shit ain't easy.
It ain't easy.
And even holding a beer,
just having that beer in your hand at the party or the bar,
that's a load off.
That takes off like 20% of the edge.
Fuck even drinking it.
Just holding it
You go to the bar
Now I have something to do
I'll put the money down
I'll grab a beer
It's like holding a gun
If something goes wrong
I got this here
Yeah, this will save me
You know
But yeah, it's tough
And like you said
A first date without drinking
Like how many sober people do we know
That are like
I haven't been laid in six months
I'm like, what are you crazy?
Like, but I don't drink
I don't know what to do Right no it's tough it's it's a challenge
yeah yeah and some people come from like alcoholic families and you kind of get why they don't so
it's kind of like i've never tried alcohol and you're like i get that like i totally i've never
tried cocaine and that shocks people me neither never tried it you've never done coke i've never
done coke that's what we have in common.
That's so weird.
I've never done it because it looks fun.
You see the movies.
I don't know.
I just, I don't like the idea of snorting something.
Yeah, I just don't, you know.
I'll fucking, I'll freebase it.
If you want to fucking send us some cocaine.
No, it doesn't look like it's it's not what I want.
I knew a kid
who killed himself
in New York City
because he did too much blow.
I'm sure he had other problems too
but he jumped out of
like a 30-story window
and he fucking
Pussy.
Sorry.
Wait, I didn't know he jumped.
I was doing
that was a cocaine joke.
Shit, sorry.
I didn't know
it was going to go that dark So wait, he did blow and then jumped?
He just did a ton
I think it gave him the courage to end it
I think that's what it was, yeah
Wow
I had two friends die of heroin
One was methadone
And he died, OD'd on it And one guy died of heroin One was methadone And he died OD'd on it
And one guy died of heroin
It's like
It was
These were party animal guys
These were like fun
Guys
But they were bummed out
It's funny to call a heroin addict
A party animal
This dude's a fucking party animal
He just passed out in a dumpster
You're like
Eh
I mean
It's a weird party I guess
I don't know
Right
Foaming at the mouth
He's twitching
That guy
He fucking rages That guy, he fucking rages
That guy parties
Well that's what they say when they give you a coke
You party
Yeah, I never liked coke heads
That was like the one Cosby joke
Where he cursed, remember?
I think you might have mentioned this in a past episode
But like, cocaine intensifies your personality
What if you're an asshole?
Killer joke I mean, it's like a two-minute laugh break it's insane yeah because he never cursed so it meant more i guess it's funny i remember i did a gig in uh st louis once
uh i mean many times but this time was like the valley park funny bone which is no longer there
in between a gun shop and a bird store so it's got
all your needs laughs guns birds whatever you're into and i remember one of the shows i was there
for like five shows and i had the same agent as mick foley the wrestler mankind and uh he said
hey he's doing a show there it's an extra show would you want to host it and i was like fuck
yeah i want to open for Mankind Are you kidding me?
I loved Mick Foley Legit read his book when I was a kid
Wow
Oh, he was such a lovable wrestler
He was like the tough guy
He took the worst beating of anybody
And he kind of reveled in it
And of course he was the sweetest guy on the planet
But he followed me on stage
By going, man, that Sam Funny guy, but he followed me on stage by going, man, that's Sam.
Funny guy, but he curses a lot, that guy.
Well, I'm going to give myself one curse.
I get one curse a whole set.
And he waited for it.
And he's not a comic.
He's a storyteller, but his stories were fascinating.
And he turned to someone and he goes, you tell me what to do.
And the guy pointed and he goes, fuck.
He said, fuck in the story.
And it crushed.
Oh, there you go. There's something about that tension, guy pointed and he goes fuck He said fuck in the story and it crushed Oh there you go
There's something about that tension not knowing when he's gonna say
Fuck and knowing he's like a family type comedian
You know it was funny
That's pretty brilliant that way to set
That up like that cause you're just kinda on edge
Like oh when's it gonna come when's it gonna happen
It was really good
It was really good
Also I love that that's the difference between us
And guys like him.
It's so funny how some people are so puritanical or whatever the hell you call that.
Because that guy will slam a dude's face with a folding chair and throw him off the top rope.
But he won't say fuck.
Well, he lost part of his ear in fucking barbed wire from a barbed wire match.
We're just like, first off, you should know something's's gonna go wrong When it's called a barbed wire match
I don't care if it's fake
You should know you're walking into a shit show here
I know and those guys are all
Booze bags and pill heads and they're all
Fucking beat up
They have to be
Think how hard we do the road and then think of pro wrestlers
Who are physically getting beaten up
Oh my god
Dude the Ric flair documentary the
andre the giant documentary it's all about who'd get the most fucked up i mean those dudes were
fucking wild rick flair rules uh he really does he fucking rules that guy's awesome when i was a
kid were you into wrestling as a kid not real i i liked it but i wasn't i didn't follow it or
anything i didn't i was so into like guys like Bret Hart and Razor Ramon and all those like WWF guys.
I mean, they were so charismatic.
It was like I loved sports and I loved entertainment.
This is sports entertainment.
Right, right.
Yeah, it's dramatic too.
Like, you're going down.
You know, they'd fight Vince McMahon and he'd be pissed or whatever.
Stone cold, man.
I liked that it was fake.
Everybody's like, can you believe it's fake?
And I'm like, yeah, that's what's cool about it
It's like a play with dudes
Body slamming dudes
It's like a play for people that don't think the Holocaust happened
It's
Yeah, exactly
This is like Macbeth
If you think evolution was a ruse
Right
Both are fake
No, I loved wrestling, man I really I loved all those guys You think evolution was a ruse Right Both are fake But yeah
No I loved wrestling man

Oh, if you think that guy was a Jew,
I'm flattered. That was not a Jew.
You're a million

He's like, oh, man, my wife.

Back to our show.
contain promo code drink back to our show back to our show what about uh my my rec is obviously how to with john wilson but i already said that so my other rec is uh so i've been reading some
of these short stories before bed just just to fucking sleep because i can't watch i was watching
search party before bed and it gets so intense I'm like I can't watch this before bed
right it's making me too nervous
it's heavy it's fantastic but it's so
heavy so been reading some
George Saunders on the wreck of my
buddy Ryan Hamilton and
so
this short story is being turned
into a movie coming out I think
it's on Netflix coming out but it's called Escape
from Spiderhead it's completely insane it's great it takes place in the future it's about uh prisoners who are like
they're either prisoners or there are people that get drugs tested on them all day those are the
other prisoners and the drugs that get tested on it's crazy it's it's also hilarious but they get
drugs tested on them all day and some of the drugs make you horny as
fuck so you just fuck so a little bit like you and this woman in here and they both take the drugs
and they fuck like three times and straight and while they're fucking they're in love and then
they take another thing to fall out of love and then they'll just test it so another woman will
come in and he'll fuck her with the same thing and then they they'll be like, so now are you still in love with her?
And he's like, I'm not.
I'm not in love with her anymore after it comes down.
But in the moment, he's like, I was in love with her.
And they're all prisoners.
What?
Yeah.
I think this is called Molly.
I've done that drug.
I've been there.
Well, so then he goes into another room and he's with a dude.
He's like a weird dude.
And then he gets called in. He's like, oh, they're doing the same thing with us and he's with a dude. He's like a weird dude. And then he gets called in.
He's like, oh, they're doing the same thing with us that they are with the women.
We're just all fucking.
And this is crazy.
And then there's this threat of this other drug that makes you fucked up.
So it's like a hangover times 20.
You're just a mess, the darkest place. And they're like, who would you rather give this to of the women?
He's like, I feel nothing towards either of them.
I feel nothing.
So it's like, I feel nothing towards either of them. I feel nothing.
So it's like a weird thing.
But it basically turns into a whole mess.
And it's hilarious.
There's one line.
I don't want to give away too much.
But they find out.
He finds out what one of the women he fucked is in for.
She murdered three people.
And one of the lines was, it was at that point that I felt pretty bad about fucking and falling in love with her But this is fiction obviously
It's fiction of course
It's this guy George Saunders who's hilarious
I think this piece was in the New Yorker
Like 10 years ago it's super funny
It's really funny
This is a movie
It's coming out as a movie
What?
Yeah yeah yeah
It's hilarious
It's funny and it's also. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's hilarious.
It's funny and it's also dark and also kind of like poignant.
It's one of those things where you read and you're like, oh my God, it's so awful they can manipulate these people's feelings.
But then also, it to me kind of hit me because I'm like, oh wow, we're living through this
dark pandemic.
So many of these people are dealing with depression and pain.
But as comics, we're able to fuel that anger or depression into bits at least right it's one of the things is like
even when i get low i'm grateful that i feel and it's that idea that you can like take away feeling
is so fucked up to me like you think about breakups you think of depression and you're like
man that's horrible but then without that shit Without being able to feel
You can't really connect
Yeah oh that's a good point
That's great
I loved it I thought it was awesome
I think it's like check it out
I think it's on the New Yorker website free
It's like just google Escape from Spiderhead
It's like 40 pages or something it's not that long
Or maybe even less
But it's great
Totally recommend it
Give me the title again
Escape from Spiderhead
Ooh
Alright
Boy
That reminds me of
Uh
Uh
Oh
What is it
Spotless Mind
Sunshine
It totally
That totally made me think of it
Yeah yeah
Um
Great movie
Eternal Sunshine
Eternal Sunshine
Yeah
Fuck
I mean
I should rewatch it
The whole thing about
Having a breakup
You're so sad, you're so miserable
And you're like, I gotta get these
Memories out of my head, they're making me sad
And they go, okay, sure, here, come to this lab
We'll do it
And then he's like, wait, I want these
It's better to have sad memories than no memories
And that's such a great point
Do you think that's Jim Carrey's best performance?
That's a good question I think it's Jim Carrey's best performance? That's a good question
I think it's his best movie by far
Better than Truman Show, right?
Yeah, I think so
Truman Show is good, but it's a little cheesy
It's got a lot of cheese on it
His name is Truman
The guy is Christoph
Christ
It's a little too much
I agree that it's his best movie
Oh yeah
But his best performance
You gotta give the mask
Is in the conversation right
The who?
The mask
That performance is insane
I don't like the comedy performances don't get loved
I always thought it was a crime that Eddie Murphy
Didn't get nominated for the Nutty professor yes because what he did was insane amazing he played eight
roles they're all hilarious they're all different they're all he commits to all of them and that
movie at heart i don't it's like not a perfect movie but the like look you know actors win for
movies that aren't great all the time it's it's really about the performance, his performance was fucking...
I think Eddie Murphy and Nutty Professor is on par with like...
Yeah, yeah.
It's incredible.
It's up there with like, you know, some...
I don't want to say Daniel Day-Lewis,
but like that is harder in a lot of ways
than what other of these like, you know,
Juilliard actors are doing.
Totally.
I love Daniel Day-Lewis, but I'm just saying like...
I do too.
Show some fucking love
To Eddie Murphy
And Jim Carrey
Like The Mask
Is another example
Like look
It's not a fucking
Great movie
But Jim Carrey's
Fucking insane in it
Unbelievable
And that was
That was like his
Second big movie
He had Ace Ventura
Then The Mask
And he was still hungry
I feel like
He was still
You know a comic
He was on Living Color
A little bit
But he needed it
And he fucking
Brought the heat It's funny I was just watching an instagram thing about dana white from ufc
talking about conor mcgregor like yeah man like he's got a mansion he's got all the nice shit he
wants like it's like it's like it's like rocky three is what he said it's like does he still
want it like it's interesting at a certain point it like, if you're still great when you've got all this shit, you're fucking great.
Aha.
Good point.
Good point.
Yeah, I agree.
That's why, you know, Bill Burr is still great.
He's loaded.
He's still great.
You know, you got to respect that.
And the best fucking dude, too.
Yeah, like Dave Attell could pack it up.
But you know what it is?
It's that inner monologue of hatred.
That self-hatred keeps you going.
No matter how rich you get, you can't buy that off.
David Tell is the king.
The king!
No one funnier!
But, in fact, I want to say Jim Carrey,
Man on the Moon is one of the best performances.
I mean, he...
I've honestly never seen it.
Oh!
It's not a great movie.
First of all, it's Milos Forman, who did Cuckoo's Nest. So, watch it First of all it's Milos Forman who did Cuckoo's Nest
So watch it for that
I love Milos Forman man
Cuckoo's Nest is a masterpiece
Well that's one of the best
That's in the top ten maybe
But the story's not amazing
But I was an Andy Kaufman fan
Growing up as a kid
And he nails it so perfectly
Like you'd watch them back to back
And you, it would be hard to tell
If you didn't know their faces
I've seen clips and it's insane
Yeah, I haven't seen the movie, but the clips I've seen
Yeah, I fucking love Jim Carrey, man
How do you not love Jim Carrey?
It is to me like a sign that you're losing it a little bit
When you start painting
It's like him and George W w bush and you're like oh boy
that's a bit is it great that's hilarious yeah i mean it's like i love jim carrey though i mean
like talk about our childhoods like think about the 90s like jim carrey and adam sandler like that
was yeah if we're talking like big comedy movie stars Like I love those dudes
Yeah I mean throw Robin Williams in the mix
Like I would always think about
Those guys on the couch at Letterman
Like if Jim Carrey was on Letterman
It was like
It was lights out
He was gonna do
You know 18 impressions
He was gonna flip over backwards
He's wearing a yellow blazer
I mean it was
It was over
I met Robin Williams once at the cellar he was such
a nice guy it was so cool um wow he's he's not what you expect he's a soft-spoken quiet guy
i just for whatever reason i sat down not thinking and i was like i looked across i'm like that's
fucking robin williams and i'm shy as hell because i like any of us Grew up, you know, Mrs. Doubtfire Like any movie you can think
Aladdin, fucking
You know, Good Will Hunting, everything
So we just end up chatting
Like I'm just, you know
Yeah, we talk for like 45 an hour
Like something like that
And he could not be cooler
He's such a good dude
You never told me this
I never told you this
He could not have been cooler
We talk for like, like yeah 45 to an hour
we're talking about life and love and like he's telling me about his divorce it was fucking that's
what i love about comics he just can't get in by the cellar not even to go on just he's like i want
to be around comics that's wow that's the type of duty was so yeah we end up chatting for like
a while and he yeah i remember asking him like he told me he's like man i lost so much money to my
last divorce like so much money and i said like oh man he goes yeah well you know she earned it
and then he said uh that's good and i said something like well like he's like well this
new one i think it'll be all right and i was like why do you keep getting married i just said it
like on a blatantly like why do you get married And he goes, you keep thinking it's going to be the one
And I was like, oh man, it was like so sincere
It was like so, you know
And we chat for a while and I remember like
As he got up at the end, we had this great talk
About everything, comedy, all this shit
He gets up and he just shakes my hand
He goes, it was great to meet you, Sam
And like he said, I was like, oh my god, that's why like
He's a star, he makes you feel so important in that moment
Like, oh my god
Wow, I can't believe one talk with you made him kill himself Oh my God, that's why he's a star. He makes you feel so important in that moment. Oh my God.
Wow, I can't believe one talk with you made him kill himself.
Which crazy was, it was the next day.
But, you know.
Oh, man.
No, he was so nice. That's amazing.
Oh, it was crazy, dude.
Jesus, I had no idea.
I was a kid.
I fucking loved Peter Peter Pan And shit like
Everything he did
Yeah Hook
Unbelievable
All that shit was great
I loved Jack
You know
Flubber
Whatever it was
I mean he was
Flubber was rough
That's true
I threw that one in
I don't know if Jack
Was good either
I feel like now
We're just getting like
Way too cool
I saw Jack in the theater
I don't know
Fran Drescher was hot
She was hot dude
She's hot Underrated hot in it She was hot dude She's hot
Underrated hot
She's probably still hot
I bet she is
She's probably getting all milfy
And probably has like
Some fake lips now
Or something
Wait
Oh Eddie Murphy
I wanted to say this
About Eddie Murphy
Such a phenom
Such a talent
Obviously like a
Living legend
Yada yada yada
But I don't think he should do stand up again
Everybody's like he's coming back
He's got a new hour
Is that still happening?
I don't know he talked about it on
He was coming to the store every now and then
But like
I think he should just
Do it if you want Eddie
But it's not going to live up to the hype.
Doing it for the payday is a bummer.
What's that?
I mean, like, dude, Mark, we're purists, man.
So when we hear that one of the biggest stars ever
and one of the greatest stand-ups ever takes, what, 35 years off
and then is coming back for this insane payday,
like, yeah, it's going to bum us out a little bit
if he's not going to take it as seriously as we hope it's taken
Yeah, yeah
But it's not even that
I don't even think he's doing it for the payday
I think he's doing it because he's like
I'm bored, everybody's egging me on
Didn't he make a joke about that in SNL
How he's got like 8 or 10 kids or something
And he's like, it's a lot of money
Oh, alright, well maybe you're right
Shit, well that's even sadder
But I get, look, look hey if he needs the money
I guess fuck it why not
I get it we're just purists man
We just love like I get do whatever you want
But stand up we hold for whatever reason
So holy and we love it so much
But also yeah I totally
Hear what you're saying
I mean I love
I mean I look at
I've rewatched some of his movies during the pandemic
that I grew up on, like Beverly Hills Cop, which might be my favorite one.
I just love it so much.
Yeah, coming to America.
Brilliant.
I mean, he's incredible.
He's so lovable.
He's the best.
I mean, he's the king, and he's just got it.
Like, no one has more it than him,
but I'm just worried that he's going to do Carnegie Hall
and Michael Che's going to go, and I'm going to go,
how was it?
And he's going to go, it was pretty rough,
and it's going to kill me.
And I can see that happening.
Well, yeah, I don't know, man.
It's one of those things that, like, stand-up takes work.
It does.
It's a great way to put it
it's not like other things where you can kind of just bullshit and like i think it all takes work
i think that's why some of these movies when you surround yourself with too many yes men i do think
the work tends to suffer and we talk about like the price of success like yeah you're rich but
the work will sometimes suffer when you are, you know, you surround yourself with people that laugh at whatever you say and you end up putting out some shitty movies, you know?
Yes.
Also, of course, the studios, I'm sure, play a role in down shit down.
Like you've got I mean, it's not like Eddie is not funny.
Like everyone knows he's like one of the funniest dudes ever.
But like.
You got to work at this shit.
You got to work and you got to fail.
And him failing is devastating to people. And a lot of people don't get it you know how many people do you know that go i saw
a stand-up twice in a month that he did the same act what a weirdo and you're like no that's how
it works you know but like you got a bomb to get good material and i don't think i don't think the
world is ready for that And I don't know
That's a really
Great and important point
To remember
That what creates
Great comedy
A lot of the time
Is failure
And failure
With someone at that level
Is a fucking news story
Exactly
Exactly
And that's what's gonna
Fuck him up
It's gonna fuck his head up
I hope he's strong enough
To just push through
And fail for a while.
And then.
Well, he's definitely strong enough.
As the point is like, does he like it's if say Eddie Murphy rolls into the cellar and has a rocky set.
As good as the cellar security is, that shit could end up on page six.
I know.
And that's horrible.
And that's what people don't get i mean
they did you know louis had the leak set that got him in trouble and it's like yeah he said
horrible shit but that was fucking bullshit dude that was like that was bullshit like i'm gonna
talk to my mom about that my mom was like what do you think of this and i was like what do i think
of them leaking an unfinished set yes i think it's terrible I think it's disgusting I think like
Agreed
I think
We all make
Like
It's also
It was an excuse for people
To be mad at Louis
Because
Yeah
What it was was
You're right
They were already angry with him
And this was just another story
That they got to pile on
Because
You loved when Louis made those jokes
When you loved Louis
9-11 joke You just don't You just don't like Louie now
So it's not a story
It's a set that he did at a tiny club
In Long Island that got leaked
That's what it is
And by the way, it's so unfunny
How could he say, well first of all he's murdering
He's killing
So you can't really say it's not funny
And second, you can't enjoy the old stuff
Without This is the process, this is the process.
This is part of it.
You know, it's like.
He didn't play the game.
He didn't play the path to redemption cancellation game.
So he doesn't get to make edgy jokes for what they say anymore.
That's kind of, that's the rules that have been set.
And like, you know, I've talked to friends about this.
I always find that the conversation with cancellation interesting because this is not like a trial.
This is a guy who people have like decided is gone.
This is like another conversation, obviously.
But when people talk about this, it's like, all right, but you don't get to just make someone disappear because you don't like them.
You know what I mean?
That's not how it works.
I mean, like we can have that conversation on how we don't like them That's not how it works We can have that conversation
On how we don't like what happened
But we can also say
You're not a jury
You're a fucking dude with a twitter egg
You know what I mean
It's a bigger conversation
For another episode
Well I hate when they go
Hey it's not a cancelling
We're not cancelling people It's not a canceling We're not canceling people
It's the public deciding this guy should not work anymore
You're like, well, the public
Is coming out to his sold out shows
So you're saying you're the public
But the public is paying millions of dollars
To watch his internet special he put out
So who's the public and who's not, you know?
It's a game It's a game.
It's a game.
It's a game that needs to be played.
And, you know, it's exhausting when you think about the game, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, this is the beauty of the Tiger doc, to bring it back to that.
They go through, like, everybody wanted him to be the best.
He was the biggest. We all got behind him. behind him and then you know the scandals happen we love crashing down
on we love seeing him fail and we pile on and then he redeems himself again and that's what the public
really likes is that like roller coaster of drama even though it's his fucking psyche that's going
through hell well i hope louis gets that shot You know I really do
I think it was beautiful with Tiger
I thought the match where he
He won that incredible match
Lately was
You know it's what people love about sports
And what people love about entertainment
And you know
That guy went through fucking hell
I mean it's like here's what I say
It's kind of like when you get detention as a kid And your parents are like I'm punishing you you know, that guy went through fucking hell. I mean, it's like, hell is, here's what I say.
It's kind of like when you get detention as a kid and your parents are like,
I'm punishing you.
And you're like,
no,
the detention is the punishment.
It's kind of like,
it's like,
it's like when,
like when they're like,
we're,
we're throwing you out.
And they're like,
dude,
my wife left me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I lost my wife.
It fucked up my life.
Like,
it's a weird thing to me when I'm like,
yeah,
the guy cheated on his wife. It's fucking bad life. It's a weird thing to me when I'm like, yeah, the guy cheated on his wife.
It's fucking bad.
It's not good.
Guess what?
That's between him and his wife.
Yeah, exactly.
That's not for us to be like, you're a shitty husband.
Right, right.
You could say that, but it's not your fucking business at the end of the day.
It's just not.
And we've all done fucked up shit, and no one just noticed it because you weren't famous and you weren't on the chopping block, but we're all done fucked up shit And no one just noticed it Because you weren't famous
And you weren't on the chopping block
But we're all flawed
You cheated on your wife in a different way
You cheated on your taxes
Or you stole something
Or you ran over a kid and didn't tell anybody
So everybody's got their thing
We've all run over a kid
Some kids shouldn't be around
But yeah It makes me A little annoyed the last we've all run over yeah mark i mean that's shouldn't be around you know but yeah
but no it makes me it makes me a little annoyed people people like to get on their little fucking
soapbox they like to be like well i've never done this you're like cool how many women knocked on
your hotel room door at fucking midnight motherfucker i'm not defending the guy i'm
just saying let's have a little compassion i don't i don't think we need to be more
accepting but we could be a little more forgiving as a people yes you know so let's
let's all chill the fuck out uh i can't wait to watch it i i'm not even a golf guy but i love
i love a good i love a good doc and uh it's amazing and it's it's all it's you know we
work hard and like want to be great at comedy and he's got the same mentality and yeah this
great scene where he's up against Phil Mickelson,
who's apparently this phenom golf guy.
I didn't even know him.
Fucking badass.
Yeah, he's awesome.
Badass guy, apparently.
And they both have some hard hit, like some difficult drive
or whatever it is.
I don't know the terms.
Not a sports podcast.
Yeah, and Phil does good, and then Tiger hits it, and it goes further the terms not a sports podcast yeah and phil does good and then tiger hits it and
it goes further but not that much further and phil is like boy that was tough huh man do you always
hit that hard he goes oh i usually hit harder that was a bad one and he's just like damn he's
just trying to get in this guy's head he's he's he's cutting this would be such a good they should
let us just drunkenly call the next PGA tour.
That guy had a hard hit, but another guy hit it harder.
The white guy was really upset.
The black guy, he was happy.
Yeah, it's the most basic.
That's like Happy Gilmore when he just turns to a shooter and goes, somebody's closer.
Yeah, exactly.
Dude, yeah, I can't wait to watch it
You know what movie I watched last night that I'd never seen?
That's a pretty dope movie
It's on HBO Max
Have you ever seen Sexy Beast with Ben Kingsley?
Oh, dude, I love
That's a stylized, badass, fun movie
It's super
Todd Barry, for the last 14 times we hung out
He's like, watch Sexy Beast
Watch Sexy Beast
It's like his favorite movie, so I watched it last night
It's a good movie
Ray Winstone, kind of underrated, I think
I agree, I agree
And it's so cool looking and weird
And you get sucked in
And it gets your blood pumping, your anxiety's going
And he's so scary
Because he's such a psycho, Ben Kingsley
So good, such a good actor But it's also 90 minutes Shout out such a psycho Ben Kingsley So good Such a good actor
But it's also 90 minutes
Shout out to a movie
That can pull things off
And tell a tale
In a short amount of time
Because so many times
You hear that epitaph?
But yeah
No, completely
Good point
Every movie now
Is two hours and ten minutes
Yeah
No, it's tough
It's, you know i i and look i'll
watch a series some series will get greedy sometimes like you re-watch sopranos and you're
like man they didn't waste a fucking scene man and then you watch some of these shows now where
it's like it takes four episodes to get in and you're like and then you watch and you're like
yeah how's that like episode five's not even that good and you're like what do you what you're
wasting my fucking life now?
I know.
I know.
It's weird.
I hate that.
Especially now because we're more ADD than ever.
Everything's two seconds and quick and Instagram and all that shit scrolling.
But yet shows and movies are getting longer.
You know, like making a murderer could have been two episodes.
I know that's five years old now, but like.
Oh, dude, that one drove me nuts.
That was so long.
Just stretch that shit out
Enough with that one
That was
I'm a big
I love true crime
And that one was like
We get it
Yes
He's an idiot
Alright we got it
He's a backwoods hillbilly
It was a 10-11 episodes
Meanwhile the Jinx is 6
The Jinx is 10 times more interesting to me
10 times better
That's a work of art by the way
That Jinx
That's my favorite one
The Jinx That's pretty amazing The St the staircase was another one that was like eight
eight but that one hours that one fucking earned it oh i could have we could have got that in four
eps that one was fucking that one was fucking brilliant dude look i enjoyed i love that lawyer
guy rudy he was killer but rachel rachel dm'd with him for a while What?
Yeah, because she's obsessed with true crime Rachel Feinstein, our buddy, great comic
But she ends up
Just following him on Twitter
And he followed her back
And she's DMing him and he's telling her stuff about the case
What?
Yeah, and he couldn't have been cooler
She was like, he was such a nice guy
He was incredible
Dude, no, that doc was fucking brilliant.
It was also beautifully shot.
Yeah, and he clearly did it, right?
Clearly.
All right, all right.
Oh, my God.
What guy who didn't do it is like, yeah, follow me around for 13 fucking episodes.
Yeah, yeah.
He's like an owl came in and hit her in the head.
I'm like, what?
The owl theory. Yeah, and then he had, this is the second wife that fell in the head. I'm like, what? The owl theory.
Yeah, and then he had,
this is the second wife that fell down the stairs.
I'm like, at least mix it up.
What the fuck are you doing?
Yeah, your honor, what about birds?
Have we ever thought about if birds can do it?
Exactly, yeah.
No, it's complete insanity.
Even the end, I think it was like the last fucking scene
of the whole series
When he goes
I got this Alexa
He goes
Which first off
I'm like
You might not want
Something listening to you
Because your phone calls
Might be incriminating
Second off
Then he just goes
Alexa
Play Leonard Cohen
And it was like
He's like
This is my favorite
And it was like
Everybody knows
The deal is rotten
And I'm like
Are you fucking kidding me?
Did this come on Everybody knows that you're a fucking murderer?
That's like OJ.
What's your favorite movie?
So I married an axe murderer.
By the way, you got a bit?
I do.
We got to do a pet peeve too, though.
But I'll do a bit.
Should we do a peeve first or a bit?
Let's do a peeve because I want to hear yours.
I got a little one that happened to be today.
Okay.
People who said...
Oh, you go first.
Okay, okay.
I feel like you're going to have a closer here.
I don't have shit.
I have a mediocre one.
Mine's not great either.
In an Uber, it's 5 in the morning.
I'm hungover.
I'm on two hours of sleep just trying to get to the airport.
And I had the chatty Uber driver, which is fine.
I get it.
He's bored.
It's 5 a.m.
5 a.m. is tough.
But he's doing this one, and I fucking can't stand this, where he would go, like, he would yawn.
He yawned, like, twice in a row.
He's like, sorry, man.
I'm yawning a lot.
Sorry about that. I'm like, oh, I, I'm yawning a lot. Sorry about that.
I'm like, oh, I don't care.
And then he rolled his window.
Sorry, I rolled my window down.
I need a little air.
Sorry about that.
I'm like, yeah, you're good.
He put the radio on.
It went like a little loud.
Sorry, that was a little loud.
Sorry about it.
I'm like, stop apologizing.
I hate the people who keep apologizing because you're like,
the apologizing is worse than the things you did.
Right.
Because then you got to keep going. No the things you did. It just tried.
Cause then you got to keep going.
No, you're good.
You're good.
Too many.
Sorry.
Too much.
I'm with you.
No, I think, I think that's a great point.
And I, it drives me nuts when people are like, they don't do big.
The offense is not matching the apology.
Yes, exactly.
You're, you're, you're making me blow you.
I got to keep validating you.
Yes.
No, it's okay.
I don't care because I really didn't care.
I'm just sitting back there trying to fall asleep.
I have to keep saying no biggie?
Do you throw the sleeping mask on too?
Do you do that as like kind of like, just so you know, I'm out of commission.
Do you do that move?
No.
Wow.
That's harsh.
I do that in the car.
I put the sleeping mask on.
What? Damn
If it's 5am, is that harsh?
It's
I don't know, I can't even look at you
It's not my buddy on a road trip
Or fucking
I'm on my way to the airport, I'm half awake
Why is that a big deal?
I'll put the headphones in and go, hey man, if I fall asleep
Don't take it personal or something
I'll throw a line in or something But a sleep in that's a message
You go better than I do
Here's a weird thing
New York Uber drivers never speak to you
In LA they talk to you 99% of the time
Yep
I have no problem with it
But like when I'm fucking half awake
If I'm up I'll talk
But if it's 5am I ain't talking
I know the sun's not even out yet I got half a boner I'm in pajamas You'll talk But if it's 5am, I ain't talking I know, the sun's not even out yet
I got half a boner, I'm in pajamas
And this guy's like
Oh man, you see that
That news story
I'm like, I don't know, I don't care
We got a 20 minute ride
See that news story about that Uber driver
Who hacked up his passenger
Yeah, exactly
He's like, where are you you from i'm going to new york
whoa new york city big city boy oh my god here we go here we go this guy's grew up on a farm
look at you yeah big city slicker
i always try to put it back on them like where are you from he's like i'm from around here
born and raised
And they're like ah shit that was a mistake
Because then he goes off on his life story
I for the record
Couldn't give a fuck if we're talking during the day
But when it's 5am I'm sleeping in that car
Same
That's what I wanted to do
But he just kept apologizing
That morning shift is tough
That's gotta be a shift is tough I get it
I got a couple
First off, people who say
And I'm here for it
And I'm here
By the way, we know you're here
You have to announce yourself
Good point, yeah, never thought about that
So you know you're invisible
That's why you're fucking announcing
And I'm here, we know you're invisible that's why you're fucking announcing and i'm here we know you're fucking here yeah shut up shut the fuck what's an example give me
a sentence use it in a sentence like a spelling bee oh uh fucking blah blah blah let me think like
like negronis are half off at this bar and i'm here for it Like that And I'm here for Oh Yeah
Negroni's are half off
And I'm here for it
Okay
Okay
That's annoying
Yeah it's annoying
That's brutal
I got a bigger one now
This is my even bigger one
Alright
Have you seen the new
Heineken commercial
With the father and son
Playing Cats in the Cradle
Have you seen that shit
No
No
Oh my god
It's like a
First off it's like a
Heineken Zero ad
Where they're like
Playing Cats in the Cradle the whole time
It's a father and son
And they're like
We'll be together then
Or no, we'll have a good time then
It's like, fuck you, Heineken
Like, you know
Whatever happened to hot women
In fucking beer commercials?
Like, whatever happened to
Yeah, you're gonna make me like
Deal with shit I've talked about in therapy
During a commercial?
This is supposed to be escapist
You know what I mean
Right right
Well I guess it's not alcoholic
So they gotta hit the queefs of the group
They gotta hit the ladies
I don't know
It's too emotional
This is booze here
Give me a strip club or a casino
Dude you know who never made me deal with shit
That I've talked about in therapy
Is Bud Light Lime
Shout out to beer commercials
That don't make me deal with my trauma
Right, right, you don't see that shit with slits
And you know what you should
That's a fucking
That's a deadbeat dad drink right there
Right, right, you know what that drink goes well with?
Tears
My dad would drink slits hot He would just keep a box on the floor Right, right. You know what that drink goes well with? Tears.
My dad would drink Schlitz hot.
He would just keep a box on the floor like a case and just drink one.
Who the fuck was he?
Paul Newman in the fucking verdict?
Jesus Christ.
He was a southern lawyer.
He's got the sweat on the brow.
Schlitz. That's fucking gross.
Oh, yeah. He was a scary man. Hit me with a bit. tie yeah he's got the the sweat on the brow that's that's fucking gross oh yeah he was an
he was a scary man hit me with a bit all right all right here we go now this this could be
horrible i thought of it on the plane today and it just kind of hit me as it could be something
so it's not worked out in any way same with same with mine Alright good My notes
Just keep going
How do you get to the bottom of notes on your iPhone
Quickly
I don't know
I usually just search I'm fucking terrible
That's smart
Alright this is a little harsh
Maybe to my lady
I think there could be
A bit here So she's dying to get married like
she's pushing it pretty hard and i obviously i'm a child i'm scared and i'll probably you know
i have an opener where i say uh i'll eventually pull the trigger and kill myself
that's good but my my point is she's like well i want to I want to have a bond like a legal bond
So I know this is serious
And you're not going anywhere or I'm not going anywhere
And I'm like yeah but
How about you just be cool
And I'll keep you around
You know like why not just be fun
You gotta earn it
You can't just oh oh now I've signed something
That'll just cause you to Cut back and lay low You know you gotta earn it You can't just Oh oh Now I've signed something That'll just cause you to
To cut back
And
And lay low
You know
You gotta earn
Why not
Keep
Keep being fun
Keep being like you are
And I'll still be there
It's just weird that
We have to have a contract
Instead of just
Like what if I sign the contract
Then you just change
And
And start slacking off
It's like what are you
My agent
You know what I mean
Right
It's tough It is funny where it's like what are you my agent you know what i mean like it's
tough it is funny where it's like her mind is like why can't we just have a contract so we know
we're cool and you're like why can't we just not have a contract so i know you're cool exactly oh
that's a good line yeah like just keep being cool and i won't go anywhere and neither will you but
it's weird that it just feels like hey i'm gonna once
we sign this i can i can become you know shitty i don't want to contract i want compatibility
hilarious that that's where your mind is at though too it's like that should also be like an added
part where you're like you're so scared to take it to the next level because you're like she's
just gonna become bad right right it's it's almost like unionizing
no i want you to be a good employee and i'll be a good employee but if i if we unionize then you
can just start slacking off and go hey i said i'm in union that's fucking good dude that's oh is
that something i think that's i think it's funny that that's how little trust you have in her to
like stay cool you're like well if i get you a ring You'll become shitty Right Right
Yeah
You'll take
You get time off and shit
I don't know
It might be too mean
That I'm making it like a job
Parallel
I think you can
Pull it off
I think you can thread the needle here
But
Yeah I mean
You are coming off
Like kind of a dick here
But I do think it's okay
If the joke is funny enough
Right
Right
Like
Okay
You know The idea that she's like I want to make sure you're serious here i think but i do think it's okay if the joke is funny enough right right like uh you know uh
the idea that she's like i want to make sure you're serious about me and she needs a ring for
that but you're like yeah well i think there are other ways you have to show like well there's other
ways i show i'm serious is by you know uh like what's other ways that you show you're serious
right now well we live together
We sleep in the same bed every night
We do things together
We go on trips
We love each other
Yada yada
I mean, it's all there
It just doesn't have the little
On a piece of paper in a courthouse
That's so funny
It's like she needs the document
Yes, exactly
It's supposed to be romantic, but it feels like
You're giving up
Right, you know what it feels like?
It feels like I got the car on the lot
And it's great, it's running great
And right when I pull off the lot and sign the paper
The bumper falls off
I'm going to ask you a question
Now that maybe our mutual therapist
Would ask you
Why are you assuming the second you sign the paper
that the bumper's going to fall off?
Because now she's got me by the shortened curlies.
It's legal now.
So she's like, aha, you can't get out of the mask.
It's going to come off.
She's going to gain 10 pounds.
It's going to be over.
That's the best fucking, you need to add this part.
The best part is that you're like, what's your biggest fear?
She's going to gain 10 pounds.
Should have said 50.
Why would you give her what she wants?
She could gain 10 pounds.
I mean, to me, it's so fucking funny.
But I mean, I hear what you're saying
Like it is a power shift
It is like you want
Right now you have the power
Because you have something she wants
If you give that up
You've lost the power I get that
Right it's kind of like if you're renting
And the toilet breaks they fix it
If you own the house you gotta fix the toilet
Maybe that's a stretch No I don't think it's a stretch It's interesting Renting and the toilet breaks, they fix it. If you own the house, you got to fix the toilet.
Maybe that's a stretch.
No, I don't think it's a stretch.
It's interesting.
It's like, this is, now we have to fix this.
Now it's on me.
So you think of yourself.
It's funny.
So you think of her as the house.
Yes.
And if you're renting, you can get out.
But if you buy, it's a little more complicated Exactly, maybe that's an angle
That's a comparison
If you buy, you either gotta
Fucking just abandon
Or you gotta hope some other guy's interested
Yeah, you deal with it
Oh, that's great
That's great
There's something there
I mean, the premise is fucking funny
It's funny because it comes from a kind of a fucking
Like, it comes from a place that like
You're a little upset to be
You feel trapped
But also you're like
You do feel a little bad that you feel trapped
Yes, of course, of course
I mean, zillions of people have gotten married over history
And had a great time and happy and all that
So I'm obviously playing it up.
But my whole thing is like if you're just – it's kind of like a restaurant saying, oh, you have to eat here now so we can slack off on the quality.
But if the restaurant is just constantly good, we'll just keep coming back.
Right.
It's almost like saying now you have to eat here.
And you're like, whereas, you know.
Exactly. If you choose to eat there, it's almost like, oh, have to eat here and you're like whereas you know exactly if you choose
to eat there it's almost like oh this this will be good they're still you want the restaurant to
still bring it you still want them to prove it to you and you associate marriage man women are just
fucking kind of better in certain ways because they just assume they kind of don't care they
just want to make sure they're taken care of exactly whereas men were like You gotta fucking still do this and this and this
It is interesting
I mean there's a lot there
There's so much there I think
They're smart in that way
I mean they're great negotiators obviously
I mean you argue with a lady and it's tough to win
They know what they're doing
They're clever
And they have to cover their ass
I don't even blame her
Because you know
It's not like they can beat us up or anything
So they gotta cover their ass some way.
By the way, side tag, you said don't gain 10 pounds is funny.
What if you say, it's romantic to say don't change.
I love you the way you are, don't change.
But it sounds worse to say don't gain weight.
Don't gain 10 pounds, I fucking love that.
Right.
All right.
I tried to do a bit the other night.
It's not like a finished bit or anything,
but the idea of like how people say
it's got a big heart,
that's a compliment,
but that's one of the only organs
that's like a good thing.
He's like rare.
Like you got to meet this guy.
He's got a large prostate.
This guy's fucking awesome.
Oh, that's nice.
I like that.
There's something there.
All right, let me try something about this.
This is interesting.
I have this whole thing about like young people.
I have a bit,
like a lot of bits now about being young and coming of age bits.
I mean, that's kind of where you go when you're burning a ton of material.
But I have a lot of, I think, some funny stories now in the act about it.
But I have one thing about hearing younger people talk about.
I saw how young people just throw out compliments so easily now.
Everything's like, the self-esteem now is insane.
The praising seems non-stop with young
people i saw a kid he had like a water bottle but it was filled with vodka and he explained to his
friend i ever heard this he goes well you know they're both clear so uh you know i was able to
sneak vodka in this water bottle and his friend goes genius i was like genius like what i think the word you're looking for is frugal i don't think
genius is the word like what are you gonna do it may be stealthy i don't fucking know but yeah what
are you gonna do when some genius shit actually happens you're like we found a cure for cancer
they're like nice you know what i mean right right i don't know what the right that's not the right
punch line but you know what I'm talking about
Yeah, no, I like that
We're upping the words too much
We're blowing our load on words
Exactly
We're blowing our load too soon
And it's like
Yeah, I just think
Certain shit just is
Not everything is great
Not everything has to be great
Enjoy the mediocre
yeah don't praise everything that's not genius with the vodka that's a high five moment like
nice well done good on you that's the nice moment yeah exactly that's nice but you're right you're
you can't go too far because then when the real thing happens it's the same with love it's like
when these relationships they date for a week and they go i love you and you're like yeah but now you're just taking the the the the the teeth out
of love that's a heavy word you know it's also could be funny too is like as a young person
that's genius as an adult you do that shit they're like what's wrong with you just buy a drink you
don't you can't afford one drink yeah that's true that's true i remember making that switch with
people like i just stole a bunch of wings off that table.
And my friend's like, I can buy you wings.
I remember I used to roll with the Dasani bottle full of whiskey, too.
That was another thing that we'd do.
Same, same.
That's true.
Blowing your load on words, there's a lot there.
We do that with everything.
Well, we do it with language.
We have no respect for language anymore.
Yeah. I mean, Seinfeld's got that bit about everything's great and everything sucks. There's not much in the middle. Well we do it with language We have no respect for language anymore Yeah
Seinfeld's got that bit about everything's great
And everything sucks
There's not much in the middle
And then Louis' got that bit about hilarious
No hilarious is when you fall over
Trembling from laughter
You didn't even laugh at that joke
I remember that special
That was a good special
Great special
It's called Hilarious
Yeah
He might
There might be something
Where he goes brilliant
Or something
Well the British do that
There's maybe a connection there
The British say brilliant
For whatever
And it's like
It's not fucking brilliant
Right
Right
They just say brilliant
Like cool
It's funny how the British
Are loose with everything
The British will say
Cunt like it's nothing
And they'll say brilliant like it's nothing.
Also, weird that the British
just throw around bloody. That's a bloody
good show. You're like, Jesus Christ.
That's a little
dark.
Yeah, it's a bloody good show.
Americans say
bloody. We fucking killed somebody.
Yeah, we mean it.
That's a period or a murder or something
it's not just a bloody good meal uh there's something here i don't know i don't i don't
have a turn on this yet but i'll find it yeah yeah no that's interesting can't blow your load
on words because yeah what are you gonna do when something crazy happens we do it with insane too oh man that movie was insane like no insane is when you have to be
putting a straight jacket in a padded room you know that was a that was a movie with a lot of
explosions you're right the bit the premise is like there's no respect for language anymore
there's no there's no respect for meaning and it's like I don't know where I'm going yet
But there's something here
I'll crack this shit
I think we do it with kind of everything
Because you have to be heard now
That's what it is
There's so much shit out there
There's so much content
YouTube and social media
That you have to be like
I was outraged
Were you outraged or were you just kind of like
Annoyed or something?
You have to go all in on words.
Yeah, it's a great point.
It's almost like headlines.
The way we use headlines on Twitter where it's like,
this person did this, and you're kind of like,
they didn't really do that.
Right, right, exactly.
Stabbing on 23rd.
You're like, no, the guy had a knife, but nobody got stabbed.
They always up it because they got to sell papers.
Yeah, I'll play with this.
There's something here.
Can we do a news story real quick?
Yeah, yeah.
I like that.
There's something there.
Here's the news.
I got it.
I got it.
Two quick ones.
We got it.
We got it.
And I think it's a good thing.
We got to shout out, obviously, the great Larry King who passed away.
Oh, yeah.
R.I.P. King. out obviously the great larry king who passed away oh yeah all right legends i mean dude first
off i i for whatever reason i re-watched his brando interview over the summer and like wow
it's so funny like brando was so fucking funny too but yeah larry king was was great at what he did
shouts out eight eight eight times married to seven women.
Unbelievable. See? See, they all slacked off, so he had to get out.

That's great. That's great. Oh, that's a good,
that's a good joke.
Um,
and I got to also shout out,
I'm a baseball guy.
So Hank Aaron dying,
man.
Oh yeah.
The home run champ in my mind.
I know Barry Bonds passed him,
but like clearly cheated.
And like,
I love Barry Bonds as a player too,
but like Hank Aaron was the fucking dude started playing in the late fifties.
Like the like the racism
this dude dealt with when he passed babe ruth's record like had to worry for his fucking wife and
kids like can you imagine being that good at baseball and you can't even enjoy passing babe
ruth's record like bullshit i there was a great article in the new york times about him today
where um the last line was incredible.
The long piece was so good.
And the last line says, Hank Aaron, a quote, I never wanted them to forget Babe Ruth.
I just wanted them to remember Henry Aaron.
Ooh.
Incredible guy.
Wow.
And I've seen him interviewed.
It was a great interview.
A-Rod, he's on baseball on ESPN.
He's on the whatever whatever baseball night whatever and
a rod is interviewing him and it's such a great interview like the reverence that a rod just spoke
to him with and and just the respect it was just so cool like a rod just marvel like he was like
looking at his hands he was like this guy's got huge hands and huge wrists he was so he had the
quickest swing so uh shouts out to the great Henry Aaron, Hank Aaron, Hammer and Hank.
Yes, good shout out.
Incredible guy.
How old was he?
86, I think, or 85.
86, I believe.
Yeah, he was such a fucking badass.
And if you see him speak, you just love the guy instantly.
Just a classy man.
No, I saw you post a few things i watched them all just a humbled
good dude and like got death threats and all that shit and just rolled with it never seemed
he was like stoic yeah he was a cool dude and just one of the greatest baseball players ever
