When's the last time you drove your own vehicle?
A few weeks

Yeah, just to make sure. And you just get in there and you go
beep, beep, vroom, vroom, and they're like, Benjamin, get
out of the car. Yeah, it's actually not even driving.

You denied it. The nice young lady handed it to you like this.
I thought I would have had it later.
Should I get it now?
No, it's too late.
Can she open the door?
We'll put a picture of it right here.
Okay.
Joe, put a picture right here. Yay high. If you could put a picture over his face, just right over his head and face.
I'm hideous. That's actually fine. If you put the book right over his head. I'm so ugly. You know
what the crazy thing is? I really believe, we actually put it in Dave. I believe that I'm
actually so ugly and my features are so grotesque I like popped out the other side and now I'm just
like a hot guy. I disagree.
I think I'm hot. Do you think you're hot?
I'm definitely better looking than you for sure.
No. Yeah, just on an objective scale.
You're so red.
If you put me and you in the street up against each other
just as random men, they'd be like, this guy is
I'm 6'1", I'm a full-size guy.
Okay, okay. You're 6'1".
It was just our heads. You look like that guy from Ice Age. I do. I look-size guy. Okay, okay. You're 6'1". What if it was just our heads?
You look like that guy from Ice Age.
What's that?
I do.
I look exactly...
That's what everyone on the internet always says.
Wait, if we were just our heads floating, I think I have a good shot.
Nah.
Yeah, just our heads?
No chance.
Okay, okay.
The head is the worst part about you.
No, that's what I meant.
If it was gone, your body would look normal.
No, I'm too small.
No, right?
It would just be a little...
They'd go, who's that 15-year-old boy right there with hairy arms?
Do you have a good cock, though?
Yeah.
How good?
It's great.
No.
It's definitely, your dick looks like that.
It's so red.

like selena gomez to date you for real and i mean that with every sense of my being i lost a lot of
respect for her when i found out you were dating her because I've known you for years. Yeah. And I don't know her at all. I think from afar, she's a
lovely person. She's incredible. And then she is, she's incredible, a great actor, a great performer,
a great artist, beautiful, sweet, seems so humble. And then I found out one day I was in the shower
and my wife said, Hey, Benny is dating Selena Gomez. Yeah. And I turned the shower to cold all the way, and I sat there for about 30 minutes just
in a cold shower.
Yeah, I under...
Disappointed.
I understand.
I ask myself the same question every day.
If I walk by the mirror, I'm like, oh my, what?
Yeah, it's insane.
No, you're a beautiful little man.
All jokes aside, enough of the deprecation.
You're a beautiful little man, but I did lose a lot of respect for her as an artist. She's insane. No, you're a beautiful little man. All jokes aside, enough of the deprecation. You're a beautiful little man, but I did lose a lot of respect for her as an artist.
She's amazing.
She's incredible.
I hope the views go down on Only Murders because of this.
No, no, no, no.
I hope because of this they plummet.
The show gets canceled.
We just can't have you dating that guy, that cookbook guy.
By the way, I have been following your gram and your TikTok closely,
and all of the new cooking videos that you've been putting out.
They're terrible.
Very entertaining.
Entertaining?
Yeah, it was fun.
Oh, thank God.
It's fun like the day I came over to your house and did that thing with you guys,

You wish it was you.
I actually, I got sad. No, I wouldn't kiss a guy on TV.
You wouldn't?
Not unless it's paid.
Paid?
If they paid me to play a character to kiss a man in a film or a television show.
Why wouldn't you do that?
Because that's paid as I'm an actor No, no, no, no, why wouldn't you just kiss a man?
Well, because I'm a straight, I'm a heterosexual male
Yeah, but so is he, he was just
No, he's not
God, this guy became sick
Guys, this room is so small
Can we do a follow-up in six days with your illness?
Yeah, I'm getting sick for sure. It's embarrassing
that you come. Just cancel. Why didn't you cancel?
I can't cancel.
I can't cancel on you. You never
canceled on anything. I don't cancel.
Never once have you canceled. No, I remember the
last meeting I missed. It was like four and a half
years ago. Jesus Christ. Do you cancel
a lot? I cancel if I'm sick.
Yeah. I'm not that. I don't know if I'm
contagious anymore. I doubt it. How long has this been?
Like eight days. He literally said I have no taste
and no smell. Yeah, I don't, but I don't have COVID,

it all went away.
And then it came back at night? Yeah, at night time.
Do you have an air purifier at night?
No, I like it freezing in my room.

No kids, no.
Do you want kids?
Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
We'll take some kids.
What do you mean, we'll take some kids?
Well, that's what you do.
You go buy them.
Do you buy them?
We don't make them in Hollywood.
That's insane.
You don't want to be pregnant.
Nine months without work is too much.
You go purchase them somewhere.
Purchase them.
It was a Costco up on Empire.
What type of kid would you purchase?
What color?
No.
I said what type.
That's what color and type are the same thing.
No.
Color and type are not the same.
Well, what make and model are we talking about a child?
Well, I'm saying like what type of kid do you want?
What do you want his or her interest to be?
Oh, I don't give a shit.
Why would I care about any of that?
I just want it to be healthy and happy.
I couldn't care less what it does.
Okay. Political answer.
The real thing is,
nothing you say is political. That was very political. Healthy and happy. Who are you looking at? You're looking at
yourself? Right at the audience. There's three
cameras in there. I thought this is the audience.
That's just Joe? That's just your
single. That's the wide and that's my
single. Okay. You've never
acted outside of Dave, huh?
Was that the first time you acted on our show?
Um,

Well,
don't,
don't put your face on it.
You just get a little bit away from it.
Oh,
here it is.
There's a full pubic hair.
Put it in your pocket.
Thank you.
Um,
would you ever act again?
Only for like a friend or something
yeah yeah yeah

to do only murders
would you do that?
I don't
probably not
really?
oh yeah
for a friend
yeah for a friend
actually I've become
very friendly with
all the people on the show
and they're so
like Steve Martin
and Marty
are like the coolest guys
they're like legends
it's insane everything they say is hilarious like Steve Martin and Marty are like the coolest guys. They're like legends. It's insane.
Everything they say
is hilarious.
Like,
I'm in stitches
the second I walk
through the door.
Yeah,
they're incredible.
They're like actually,
and you know when people
are like trying to be funny?
They're not even trying
to be funny.
They're just like,
everything they say
is just gold.
They've just been on
for so long.
Their rhythm is,
well,
I mean,
they're literal living legends.
Both of those guys.
It's crazy.
Who do you like more?
You can be honest.
They won't watch this
or know this exists.
No, no,
they won't watch.
Marty doesn't even have
social media.
Good.
And you don't have email,
so you're getting there.
You're close.
You like social media?
No.
It's a nightmare.
It's a necessary evil.
Yeah,
but you'll stop it
once you're like,
like,
what,
what?
I post, I do this, what? I post.
I do this.
I post and ghost.
You know what that is?
Oh, yeah.
I post purely for work.
That's it.
I post and ghost.
I don't really look at shit anymore.
He's actually my proof of the pudding.
These guys are now the ones that look at all the social stuff and let us know what's going on.
Because we don't do it anymore.
I don't want to do it anymore.
I mean, I ask him what's up. Yeah, I don't look it anymore i don't want to do it anymore i mean i ask him what's up yeah i don't look at i don't read i don't read
any comments you can't read a comment like we were talking about someone before the show and i won't
mention the name but they get a lot of hate and and they were saying read the comments yeah they
do every every single every single one you can't do it well when i said to them was i said you
i understand that when you're a certain age you you feel enthralled and you're owned a little bit by the internet.
And then when you get a little bit older, you start to go, I just want to put stuff up.
And people are going to shit on it if they're going to shit on it.
And I don't care.
It's got to feel that way when you make music, when you put out any sort of, you have to just throw it up.
You can't read the comments.
Because here's what happens.
The comment is, here's what the comment is.
Someone either says like, I love
you.
And they're just sucking you
off. And so why do you need to hear
that? Or they say like, you're a piece of shit. I hate
you. So what do you need it for? You need
someone to tell you like, you're the best.
You're the best. Or you want to feel
the pain of you suck. Yeah. Or
some people want to feel it. There is no middle.
No. I would love to read a comment.
This is fine.
Yeah.
I would love,
yeah.
Someone should be like,
Hey,
this was just like,
this was just like perfectly okay.
This was fine.
Honestly,
that would be,
I didn't like this or hate this.
Yeah.
That would be a night.
That would be my favorite comment on the internet.
Yeah.
But I don't,
I don't read them at all.
There's no way you don't have time.
I just like,
you're,
you're a busy dude.
I'm busy,
but I like, I don't, I don't read it because i'm like occasionally you'll scroll past one like if
i'm like looking for something for my friend or like there'll be like a post on the internet or
something and i'll scroll past it and all you can do is laugh yeah it's ridiculous all i can do is
laugh like they're insane some of the stories that come out are insane. He reads them. He tells us what's really going on
on the internet. But I don't care
to really hear it unless it's constructive
in a way where he gets an idea from something
and then he goes, dude, you know, someone suggested
we should do this cool thing. And then
we like to interact with the fans on me and Bobby's show
so if the fans have something dope
to offer, then we're like,
yeah, let's do it. Does Bobby read it?
A hundred percent. Does Bobby read every
comment? He lives inside the comment section.
A hundred percent. But what we found
is like when you do... He wants to like hate himself, right?
He does hate himself. Yeah, yeah. I think
most artists in some
way dislike themselves. Do you
hate yourself? I don't hate myself. That's a strong
word. Do you dislike yourself? Of course.
Are you depressed? I mean,
I have clinical anxiety and depression, for sure.
I've been diagnosed. But I wouldn't say it's
like,
it's not all-consuming.
But it exists. Do you take medicine? Not anymore.
Really? I didn't like the way medicine made
me feel. What were you taking?
Like, SRI? I've tried everything. Yeah, I've tried
so many different things. And you didn't feel
good, but how did you get to a point where, like, you feel
good now? I had a psychotic break where i hijacked a train on the long island
railroad on the lirr and i threatened to crash it it was a standoff they were gonna make a movie
about it they're writing a book about it right now no i'm serious uh what happened to me to make me
break no to make you feel like i have what i what to make you feel better now right much but i mean i have waves right i'm it's natural in my chemical but but what i would say um helped me
cope was therapy okay exercise okay so you understand my exercise you're looking at me
crazy no no i just didn't i just didn't i didn't think you exercised why not look at me but you're

yeah he's jacques pepin if you don't know that guy he's so funny it's not there's no flair it's
real simple yeah but it's a lot of meals for one or two because it's i think it's just him and his
partner so he makes small meals so i I'm like, this is great.
Because sometimes you go to cooking shows, they're cooking meals for like 30 fucking people.
Do you ever have people over?

We hire somebody.
You do?
I hire a guy.
Why?
I can't cook.

We're trying to rehab him out in the real world.
Actually, or no?
No, no, no, no.
He just moved to Los Angeles.
So he lives with you.
For how long?
Yeah, he's been there for...
When's the cutoff?
That's a good question, actually.

How long has he been with us?
A little too long, right?
He's been with...
Yeah, yeah.

Well, he went back home for a little while.
You know?
What?
Family stuff.
Family stuff?
Family stuff.
Okay.
We don't talk about it.
So he went...
No, it's just...
It's nobody's business.
It's just he had to go deal with shit and then...
Okay.
Come back and then...
Now he's back.
He's been living with me, but now he's finally out.
We're going to miss him.
Oh, so he is out.
Well, he's still currently in the house, but we're moving out.
Who's moving out?
We are.
My wife and I are moving out.
Oh, you are, so you forced him to leave.
He kind of wants his own place anyway, but I loved having him around.
Why are you moving?
He's selling his house.
I want to get out.
Why?
It's haunted. The house is haunted? Yeah. There is a woman? Just selling this house. I want to get out. Why? It's haunted.
The house is haunted?
Yeah.
There is a woman
that lives in our house.
There is?
Not your cousin,
just a woman?
No, that's a man.
Oh, that's a man.
No, the woman is a ghost.
She's dead.
Okay.
She died,
which crazy is,
she died on the toilet
in the hallway bathroom.
And that's where I see her.
In real life.
Yeah.
And she has her pants
on her ankles
as she walks through the hallway.
Because she's constipated, I think.
And she'll shuffle from the bathroom to the front room.
Do you ever get constipated?
Only when I travel.
It's so hard to poop when you're on the road.
Coffee, coffee, coffee.
I thought you said coughing.
Coffee keeps me regular.
I don't drink coffee.
You've never had coffee?
I don't drink caffeine.
Really? No. How are you this annoying? I don't drink caffeine. Really?
No.
How are you this annoying without caffeine?
It's crazy.
This is amazing.
It's crazy.
But you've never had a cup of coffee?
Or you've tried it?
I've tasted it.
Yeah, of course.
Well, don't make that face.
Some people I know have never even tried it.
No, I've tasted it.
It tastes delicious, actually.
So you like it, but you wouldn't consume it daily because it's not for you?
I just don't need to add another thing to my life.
But if you taste good, that's part of why we like it.
I like it because I like the taste.
It doesn't taste good enough for me to be like, wow, I'm really craving that.
See, that's ironic because I don't really give the boost of coffee, quote-unquote, like the—
I don't get that.
I just enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning.
Do you drink one every day?
Every day.
Do you drink one?
I drink a few every day.
I drink two or three cups a day.
You're drinking two cups right now?
Yeah.
Wait, why are you drinking two?
He's got to stay up.
He's got a lot of work to do.
What's that one for?
One of them is cold brew.
You do drugs?
Do kids do drugs anymore?
Oh, my God.
This guy does drugs.
No, do you actually?
No.
I mean, I drink.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He smokes pot.
Yeah, yeah, that's cool.
Look, he doesn't do drugs, but he'll smoke pot or take Molly or, you know what I mean?
But he won't do drugs.
But he'll take mushrooms and a little bit of coke, but he won't do drugs.
Everyone does K now, right?
Yeah, ketamine's big.
Do you do it?
No one died.
That whole time we were kids.
People are dying now.
Listen to that cough.
Are really famous people dying?
No one's dying young.
No huge famous star is dying young right now, right?
Well, I think-
Like of like AIDS or cancer.
No, that's not true.
That kid from Euphoria died last year.
What kid?
What was his name?
Angus Cloud?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that was drug related.
Well, what?
Yeah, you just said no one young is dying that's famous.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Yeah, yeah, we'll just cut this section.
Yeah, that Angus Cloud kid died of an overdose.
Who else died recently?
Okay, all right, I get it.
We'll cut it. Google who died recently cut this section. Yeah, that Angus Cloud kid died of an overdose. Okay, all right, I get it. We'll cut it.

Are you scared of dying?
No, I'm not scared of dying.
I am.
No, I don't want to die.
Yeah, yeah, sorry, I don't want to die.
Yeah.
Sorry, I really don't want to die.
Like when people joke and they're like, oh, ready to go.
It's like, no way.
Don't you have more shit you want to do?
So much more I want to do.
What do you want to do?
Leave Los Angeles. Really? Yeah, no way. Don't you have more shit you want to do? So much more I want to do. What do you want to do? Leave Los Angeles.
Really?
Yeah, five years.
That's my goal.
Five-year plan?
In 45, I'm out.
Why?
Because you'll have enough money to leave.
No, no, it's not about money.
I just want a new chapter in my life.
Okay, and where do you want to go?
I'm ready for another chapter.
Chicago?
No.
No one wants to go to Chicago.
Yeah, Chicago's great, man.
No, Chicago sucks.
It's so cold.
You're the dumbest guy on planet Earth.
No, no, no.
It's one of the greatest cities that ever existed. That is true. It is one of the greatest cities. Except for what? The cold? Yeah, it's too hard. it's so cold you're the dumbest guy on planet earth it's one of the greatest cities that ever that is true it is one of the greatest except for what the cold yeah it's
too hard we're too cold outside dude you bundle up you live in la yeah i moved here for a career
not because of the weather you bundle up you don't like the weather here no it's fine but here's the
deal when it's cold i'll tell you what this does to you dude you're from cold weather. I know. That's why I don't live there. Here's what cold does to you.
Cold puts you in situations where you have
to like communally bond
about it.
The pain of going through a winter
with people. It's why people go to a
bar in the Midwest and they have a drink together and they
laugh. People don't fucking have a drink
together with strangers out here. Nobody wants to talk to
anybody. That's true. Because we're spoiled individualists. But you go to places that have
tougher. What do you mean we're having a drink right now? Yeah, but this will be done in 20 minutes.
How many drinks do you want to have? Five or six. Yeah. This is, by the way. Phenomenal.
Incredible. This is incredible. It's very good, right? And it's smooth. What else? What I'm trying
to say is Coldweather, he knows he's a Midwest kid. It bonds you in a way that does something to you communally and culturally.
I do very much so believe.
Yeah, I can tell.
The one thing I can tell is when anyone's from where I grew up,
everyone acts a certain way.
You're an East Coast kid.
Virginia.
Close enough.
Kind of East Coast.
But they all act.
You can tell who's...
I knew right away that you weren't from L.A.
You can just tell when people have...
Yeah.
He has a Midwest face, though.
This kid looks like...
You know what I mean?
Like a hockey coach.
Yeah, you look like you live on a farm.
But you can tell when people aren't from...
Yeah, you can tell.
You can tell.
You think you've transformed into a little bit of an L.A. guy, though?
You have a little bit of L.A. going on. I don't think so. A little bit. Okay. You have a little bit of an L.A. guy, though? You have a little bit of L.A. going on.
I don't think so.
A little bit.
Okay.
You have a little bit of a L.A. vibe.
A little.
I'm like, hot?
No.
I've said that before, and I'm going to say it again.
It'll just never be hot.
No chance.
Could I be hot?
No.
Not in this lifetime.
You don't think any way?
I believe in reincarnation.
Besides facial reconstructive surgery.
What are you eating?
He's eating a muffin.
You would have to do a full...
Look, you and I aren't going to be hot.
We can be sexy.
What do you mean?
I think you're cute.
No, no, we can be sexy.
Is Bobby hot?
No, 100% not.
Who is the ugliest out of all of us?
Out of you and Bobby?
Yeah, Bobby.
Bobby probably, yeah.

Here to tell you about Twillery.
Love that.
That's how I used to call my neighbor Hillary Twillery.
And now Twillery has made itself a beautiful company, a menswear company,
available online with great products for quality fit on top of their performance and functionality, my friends.
OK, they sent me a whole bunch of good stuff.
Thank you to Twillery, by the way. So nice, so comfortable and no wrinkle. Look, dude, my stuff wrinkled. This
shirt's got to be wrinkled right now. I guarantee you. Because I don't know how to fold. I'm not a
smart man. I usually throw stuff in the drawers or they get worn out of the dryer. I'm that guy.
I think I'm still a college student at 40 years old. But they don't wrinkle and have plenty of
stretch to keep you comfy.
So whether you're, you know, going through a binge month where you're eating a lot of
food, getting a little tight in the waist, Twillery has some quality products that have
plenty of stretch and no wrinkle, machine washable, so no need to take them to the dry
cleaners.
Throw them in the washer.
What are you talking about right now?
You know?
Make it easy on yourself. Okay. Right now, Twillery is offering my listeners $18 off a $139 purchase. That's a lot

You want to talk about being a softie?
I literally gave this kid life.
How much money did you have in your bank account
when I met you, for real?
Be honest.
I think 23 cents. How much do you have now? And I wrote you a in your bank account when I met you? For real, be honest. I think 23 cents.
How much do you have now?
What did I write you a check for that day?
That day, because I was getting paid for the whole tour,
was $11,000.
You piece of shit.
What are you talking about?
I wrote this guy a check.
I revived his life.
He was going broke.
And he almost cried in the hotel room and said,
this is the most money I've ever had in my entire life.
And I said,
well,
let's keep getting you money.
And then I got him more work
and more jobs
and now he's successful
and things are good.
How's it feel?
Now you got two coffees.
Does anyone ever see your face?
Yeah.
We put him on Bad Friends.
We put him in the background.
We don't want him on this show.
In the background?
Yeah,

I don't know why but I like him
He keeps fucking up
Is he your only guy?
No we've got a team of people
But he's like my younger brother
He's like my responsibility
Bobby hates him
Why does Bobby hate you?
Because we're so close.
I technically knew Bobby first,
but then when we were on tour,
me and Andrew got pretty close pretty fast.
I'm the one that hired him to come on the tour,
so Bobby just resents him a little bit.
Does Bobby put in the work to be your friend?
Bobby's a big one.
Yeah.

It depends what meal.
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day.
So you're eating a, you're scarfing
down a scone? Well, because I had to do shit all
morning, so I didn't have time. Are you good at golf?
Yeah, very. What's your handicap?
My index is a 2.2.
That doesn't mean anything to you unless you know golf. Do you know golf?
I know golf. Oh, I'm a 2.2 index. Okay.
Yeah, I'm very good. Wow.
And that's like a one thing I, I wouldn't
even say that if I stand up. I wouldn't even brag about
stand up or anything. Were you always good you always good at golf or you got good?
I got better.
I was always, um, athletic enough to be good at normally good at golf.
I was probably like a 12 handicap when I first started playing golf.
Oh, that's like when I first started trying.
That's crazy.
And now I'm like, uh, depending on where you play, like a three or four handicap.
That's great.
Yeah.
Pretty good.
That's really, it's my favorite thing on earth.
Do you play like, I'm thinking about it right now. How often? This whole interview, I've been thinking about it. I would too. Yeah. That's great. Yeah, pretty good. That's really good. It's my favorite thing on earth. Do you play like... I'm thinking about it right now.

Is he?
How good?
Like now he's-
He's 70.
My dad's almost 80.
My dad's like 79.
Holy shit.
I think his handicap now is probably like a 12, 13.
But he can't hit it far anymore.
Yeah, at that age,
it's like you're lucky.
You're just getting off the plane.
Yeah, you just can't.
I think in his prime,
he was probably like an eight or a nine.
That's good.
Yeah, something like that.
Eight, nine.
Most people never reach single digit.
That's impressive.
Yeah, maybe.
I'm very lucky I've gotten
as good as I've been,
but I also think it's... Yeah. Some things are out of your control. I play with other guys lucky I've gotten as good as I've been but I also think it's
some things are
out of your control
I play with other guys
that I think should be good
but they just can't
get it together
I've played a handful
of times
I'm like athletic
so I can like
you can do it
I can do it
like I played
so like the first time
