In here, we pour whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey.
You are that creature in the ginger beard.
Sturdy and ginger.
Like vampires, the ginger gene is a curse.
Gingers are beautiful.
You owe me $5 for the whiskey and $75 for the horse.
Gingers are hell no.
This whiskey is excellent.
Ginger. I like gingers.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Ginger. My guest today is one of my favorite people on earth. I like gingers. It's like... It's British. I don't appreciate it as much as I probably should, I guess. Yeah, because think about how bad... His last name is Corkery.
Corkery, yeah.
Oh, Corkery's here.
There it is.
No, it's Corkery.
Oh!
Oh, there's Corkery over there.
Oh, there's fucking Corkery.
There's Corkery.
Oh, there's fucking Corkery.
It's a Scottish guy.
It's a Scottish...
I got made fun of on a live show this past weekend by a Scottish guy.
Just coming at me.
Wait, a Scottish person made fun of you? Uh guy. Just coming at me.
Wait, a Scottish person made fun of you?
Uh-huh.
Coming at me like full speed.
That's all the Scots do is make fun of people.
It's kind of fun.
Yeah.
Because they're not intimidating people.
Yeah.
Like Bobby can get away with being mean to people because he's short and round.
Same with me.
Yeah, well, you're not short.
You're just skinny.
I'm small.
You're skinny.
I don't weigh a lot.
How much do you weigh?
Oh, wait. you're not short. You're just skinny. I'm small. You're skinny. I don't weigh a lot. How much do you weigh? Oh, wait.
Give me your hand.
148.
145, but that's close enough.
Yeah, no, you're a little bit heavier this morning for some reason.
Yeah.
Maybe I am.
I didn't weigh.
I didn't weigh myself.
I think 148.
If you go home.
I was supposed to weigh myself before I came in here?
Yeah, that's why the scale is out in the lobby.
It doesn't matter. Oh, shit. Okay. But that's why we scale is out in the lobby. It doesn't matter, but that's why
we put it out there. I thought that was like
a thing for packages or something like that. It's so big.
Yeah, I mean, you're the package on
the show. This is the whole show.
I hope this works.
That chair's been broken twice, by the way.
Really? Trixie Mattel broke it. Do you know Trixie?
Yes. Yeah, Trixie broke this chair
and was very upset about it.
Oh my god, that's so embarrassing to break a chair. It was, and we all booed. Trixie? Yes. Yeah, Trixie broke this chair and was very upset about it. Oh, my God. That's, like, so embarrassing to break a chair.
It was.
And we all booed.
Trixie's not huge.
No.
No, we booed when she did it.
Oh, God.
I was like, boo, bitch.
These are vintage chairs.
These aren't vintage.
These are vintage Ikea, right?
No, these are vintage.
This is 1976 these chairs are from.
No way.
Yeah, these are beautiful chairs.
They've been restored twice.
The poing, you know the Ikea Poing, the one that everyone had?
I don't know about that.
I'm pretty sure this is like, they stole it from this probably.
From this kind of design?
Yeah, it feels like it.
Here's how you know these are vintage.
When you lift up the cushions and all this stuff and you see-
Smells good.
Well, it smells like, you remember in the 80s and 90s, the smell of cigarettes on cloth?
Oh, yeah.
That's what these smell like.
Like a good bar?
Yeah.
Like how a bar is supposed to smell?
Yeah.
Why don't bars smell like that anymore?
Because you can't smoke in them.
Yeah, but even the old bars you could smoke in,
it's almost like they got rid of the smell somehow
instead of leaving it gross.
There's a couple.
Yeah.
Culver City's got some.
We went to a couple.
There's a dive bar in Culver City called The Cozy Inn.
It's next door to a gun store.
I don't know that one.
You could get a gun and get a beer,
and they give you kind of a discount on Wednesdaynesdays you have to do gun beer okay yeah you can't do
beer gun i would think it would be the other way around you get more i guess it's bad either way
right because you have a gun you're getting drunk or if you're drunk and you get a gun probably
yeah it's definitely worse to get drunk and then get a gun yeah you can't do beer gun you can do
gun beer because i feel like with the gun then you buy it and you realize when you hold it in your sober hands, the physical and social weight of what's going on.
Yeah, you get cut off.
Right.
And then you get fucked up.
You go next door and get a gun.
I got cut off for the first time ever.
What?
First time in my entire life I got cut off.
Give me the-
You've been cut off before?
I've been-
By a bartender?
Denied.
They just see you're there
but they don't serve you
that is kind of a similar
not actively
no never been like
you've had enough
oh my god
what's the story
it's the most embarrassing
that was at renaissance fair
renaissance festival
and I got cut off
wait were you dressed up
oh yeah you have to
I always do
wait you're getting cut off
dressed up as what though
oh I just
it's like a weird I wore like some some vintage, like some 70s pants.
I have like a, you know, one of those tops has like a piece of leather instead of buttons.
Correct, yeah.
I have like a weird, funky hat on.
Does it tie in the front, the shirt?
It ties, but I keep it loose, you know, I got to air out.
I'm wearing like a bunch of pouches and stuff.
A bunch of satchels.
I'm carrying a giant leaf, like a giant leaf.
Yeah, it's been working on it for a while.
It's a good costume.
It's sort of like this weird,
I call it the funky woodsman or something like that.
Ooh, funky woodsman.
Because I'm very, very high.
I'm very high and I'm drinking.
But yeah, I got cut off at the bar.
The last bar before you leave,
she...
This is in Orange County, right?
Isn't that where they do it?
This is in Irwindale
it's like 40 minutes east of here
okay okay
in Lindia
the Irwindale Recreation Dam
that's where they have it
they've had it there every year
at the dam
at the dam
where that belongs
it is nice though
it is nice
is it?
it's kind of secluded
okay
yeah you're down this little valley
but I go up to the bar
and I was you know
I was in character
because I was super high
I've been walking around
being like oh what we've got here.
Could I get myself a cart of mangoes, please?
I'll take your finest mango cart out.
Something like that, you know?
Yeah.
Are they playing along, the servers, or no?
They usually do.
Yeah.
They love to play along.
That's the whole thing.
Right, I would imagine.
Because that's the whole point of the festival is that you get to be like not be yourself for a couple hours you can say whatever you want
you can get away with like you know being a weird you can scream you can say like what we are just
fought it you know no one cares it's like a funny thing there's like little kids walking around
trying to like is this a potion or is this a is this a uh a health potion you're like this one
is like no that's the you know it's like all these little people.
It's all playtime.
It's total playtime.
So I'm doing that to this lady,
ordering a beer,
my final beer.
I've already had like a couple,
couple beers at this point.
And like,
they're fucking huge,
right?
And I just,
they do the Steins of beer?
Yeah.
No,
they don't do Steins.
It's,
you know what?
It's kind of like,
and every year has been taken over a bit by,
corporate. It's just less. This and every year has been taken over a bit by, Corporate.
It's just less.
This year,
they had a fucking bus
in the back
that was doing like tattoos.
And we saw that,
like that really,
ugh,
it just fucking ruined it.
Tattoos at Renfair?
Yeah,
like a huge orange bus
that's parked
by where the joust is
and they have like a,
the bus is running
and they're giving like tattoos
and stuff like that there.
Are you sure anyone didn't go to an ICP concert?
I think that might have been where you were.
They're starting to merge.
They're starting to become the same thing, I think.
It is funny to think how even those things
are so innocent,
can also be corrupted by the thing.
Everything's corruptible now.
It's too easy.
It's like you can't do a thing legally
without it being like
well Anheuser-Busch
would love to help you out
with that
city permits
then you gotta pay for this
and that
you have to have a sponsor
so you go up to this person
you ask for a beer
right
and I ask for a beer
in that parlance
the parlance of the fair
like sort of like
that was the parlance
I was using this year
because it came to me nicely
like you know
sort of like the
old
like a cockney dude kind of thing.
And there's a sign that says
if you appear
under 30,
we will card you, right?
Yeah, and you've appeared under 30 since I've known you.
Exactly. But I have my ID out, ready to go.
I'm saying something to her about that
and she's like, no,
I can't serve you.
And then I stop the thing
I'm like
oh I was just
I was just joking with you
I would
like to order a beer
and she's like
oh
did you not
hear what I said
I said
I won't serve you
like what the
look at my friend
Andy's right next to me
he just ordered a water
like what is going
like are you serious
like I definitely
was not
wasted
what's her reasoning, do you think?
Because you were fucking around too much?
I think because I was fucking around too much.
And maybe she could see something that I didn't feel necessarily.
Maybe, like, how I felt.
Like, oh, I'm just having a good time.
And I can, like, turn on.
Because I'm the guy who people never think is drunk.
Like, I can be really wasted and be like, oh, wow, I'm very wasted right now.
Like, I just don't like this and show up.
Yeah.
That's because you're a.
A sociopath.
Yeah.
Right.
Exactly.
It's that.
It's a touch of that.
Touch of the path.
Yeah.
A little bit of pay.
And something else.
I don't know.
But maybe my eyes are super bloodshot or something.
But I definitely was very surprised, especially once I stopped doing the accent thing.
I was just like, no, I'm sorry.
I just like like a beer
yeah
just one beer
yeah and she was like
you're gonna be
you're gonna be glad
I did this
you're gonna be glad
I'm like
okay
now I'm gonna be talking
about this on a podcast
in a couple of weeks
exactly
I'll be blowing up
I'm talking about it now
I wonder if she's watching
she's probably not
she really is
she probably doesn't
have a TV
well we're on the internet
so that's the good news
she could be on anything
like a piece of leather
she looks at a piece of leather she she stares at leather and makes up her
own scenarios maybe my favorite show look at my favorite show i don't think she was doing the
accent either she wasn't even having fun no see that's like i i think if you're gonna go in i'm
gonna go full in on those things right like we took the nieces to um um, the girls to, uh, to Disney.
Yeah.
And it's like,
yeah,
man,
play it.
You gotta play along.
You gotta go deep.
You gotta do the thing.
You gotta pretend.
Yeah.
When we were in Harry Potter land or whatever at Universal,
we did,
I did the thing.
What'd you do?
I put on a cape and I was like pretending like,
yeah,
I pretended like I was,
uh,
a sorcerer.
Did you have a wand?
Yeah,
we got,
everybody got a wand.
Nice. Yeah. I went, I actually took some, which by the way are like 500 that's the thing like i was like this one
has chosen you little one the price of those places is one of those things where you're like
i'm sorry did you just like move a decimal point or something like that yeah there's stuff where
you have to get the vip or the front of the line pass otherwise you're gonna be waiting for two
and a half hours at least yeah i'm to be waiting for two and a half hours.
At least, yeah, at least.
I'm not going to wait for two and a half hours in the heat.
So you pay the extra.
You're like, I just paid you $500 on top of-
Yeah, what I already paid to get here, to park.
Like, what the fuck?
I don't understand how people have kids have a full family and take them to those places
without spending a couple grand on nothing.
So, hope you enjoy this because this is going to be the next five years.
This is it.
This is it.
Yeah, this is it.
Do you want shoes for when you grow or do you want to go see Harry Potter World one
time in the next five years?
It's great to think of these kids in school with no shoes and someone's like, why don't
you have shoes?
Like, we went to Disneyland this summer.
It's like, oh, that's cool.
I wish.
I wish.
I'm jealous.
And she doesn't have socks either.
It's like, yeah, we went to Disney World and Disneyland.
We got both.
So layers of clothes come off no matter how depending on how many
vacations you took like dad didn't pay for bail it's like all right I can get out of prison or
you guys can go to Disneyland did you guys take family vacations when you were a kid a little bit
not really though we barely ever did that shit we did it one time I remember being just miserable
like we take a van oh yeah you drove oh we drove from like minnesota to did we drive to florida everyone from
the west drove to florida at least once that's what i was saying i did i do a joke on stage
about that that most of us growing up in that time period you drove to vacation flying was
it was like no we're not gonna fly i don't know why though, people. I mean, cause I think it was so cheap to drive. It was because back then you bought a car. Yeah. You
didn't finance a fancy car back then. You bought the car you could literally afford, right? So my
dad's car was most definitely paid off or whatever. What was it? Well, I mean, back then was, uh,
we had a, uh, a Buick LeSabre. Oh my God. That's such a classic car, the LeSabre. Yeah, and then he had a Cutlass.
We had a Cutlass.
A Cutlass, a Cutlass Sierra?
Yeah, a Cutlass Sierra, yeah.
That's a Chevy or is that Oldsmobile?
Oldsmobile Cutlass, yeah.
These are all cars that I grew up around,
like was taught to hate.
The Buick LeSabre, by the way, was such a,
God, I fucking hated that car.
I fucking hated it.
It was such an ugly,
but I mean, no one back then had...
We maybe know a few people that had really nice, fancy, brand new cars, but pretty rare.
Most people drove regular, down the middle of the road, car, car.
Either your dad had a truck or a big fucking suburban SUV, or the dad just drove those,
like a shitty sedan.
My dad used to drive a lot of different cars.
He'd go through them.
Was your dad a car guy? Yeah, he was a car guy. See, funny, I'm a car guy. My dad used to drive a lot of different cars. He'd go through them. Was your dad a car guy?
Yeah, he was a car guy.
See, it's funny.
I'm a car guy.
My father never was.
Really?
That's why I think
I love it so much.
My dad worked
in the automotive industry
and didn't give a fuck
about cars.
Really?
Well, he worked in
aftermarket automotive.
Oh, okay.
So, he's a grease monkey?
100%, yeah.
Was he really a grease monkey?
Well, we say grease ape.
We can't say it.
We didn't say grease ape.
Oh, a grease person
a person of slippery persuasion
a man that's difficult to pin down physically
that's right
he slips and slides
what did your dad
what was his car's
did he have a collection of cars?
he liked Saabs
you're like Jerry Seinfeld
he'd always have one car at a time.
But then he'd flip them off.
Yeah, he'd flip them. He had a Scout for a while.
It had holes in the floor.
Whoa.
Like a Scout International.
Yeah, where you could see the road beneath your feet.
Yeah, that thing was cool.
He had a Mercedes for a little bit, I think.
And a BMW, a little like a tiny BMW.
Like a 3 Series.
Yeah, a 325 iX.

No, it's actually not that bad in Chicago right now.
Yeah.
It's kind of nice.
Yeah, I still eat potato salad.
But it doesn't matter.
It's like potato salad out in a room temperature for a few hours.

She ate a bunch of potatoes that had green on them, the next thing you know.
But it was a couple years ago.
She's hanging on.
She's slowly hanging on.
She's hanging on.
She lost her arm.
Well, we can't bathe her.
That's why.
We can't bathe her, but you know what?
It's actually sped her up. She moves hanging on. She lost her arm. Well, we can't bathe her. That's why. We can't bathe her, but you know what? It's actually sped her up.
She moves faster now.
It was kind of dead weight, honestly.
I'm from Rochester.
Rochester.
JM.
Yeah, this is all making me feel like, oh, God.
No.
The place you left forever ago.
But you're not ashamed of it.
You love home, don't you?
I'm not ashamed of it you love home I'm not ashamed
it's more just like
I don't love it
oh see cause I
cause I love Chicago
but Chicago is like
a fucking
Chicago is Paris
of the Midwest
you know what I mean
you said it
Rochester Minnesota
is just the Mayo Clinic
and that is it
that's all it is
that's why you're
into Mayo that much
yeah
it is the greatest place
for cancer research
on the planet
it is
well so that's pretty huge.
You know what I mean?
I guess so.
I mean, also,
all that stuff is arguable,
you know,
but it's up there with...
Yeah.
It's the place now.
It used to be WebMD.
Now when someone's like,
I got this weird rash.
I think it's this.
MayoClinic.com says it's...
says it's syphilis.
You know, it's always
MayoClinic.com and not WebMD.
That's pretty cool
to take over, though.
It is. It's like to be the Wikipedia of medical issues. Yeah, the Wikipedia of symptoms. Yeah. I's always MedPrint.com and not WebMD. That's pretty cool to take over though. It is.
That's like to be the Wikipedia of medical issues.
Yeah, the Wikipedia of symptoms.
Yeah.
I don't do it anymore.
I can't even look.
I've never done it.
I'm anti.
The issue is then I go to a doctor now and they don't know it.
The biggest thing I feel the most, I used to like it when doctors lied to us when we
were young and they would just get wrong, be it wrong.
Yeah.
I'd rather that than when they go, we're not really sure what it is.
I had a back issue that I've had for a couple of years.
I had a herniated disc.
Have you read the book?
Sarno?
Yeah.
Yeah, of course. Okay.
I've read them all.
But I mean, I went to like all these different guys,
went to orthos and all these guys.
And dude, I've gone through so much experimental medicine.
It's crazy.
And then it takes like one other doctor to be like,
I'm pretty sure this is from a hip impingement.
Really?
And I'm like, so this is not my, and they're like, yeah, let's do, let's give you some x-rays.
And you see it and you're like, was everybody wrong or lying or what was it that they just didn't, that they see it and they go, I don't know.
We don't know.
Fuck it.
I feel like that's one of those things where, because I've been in and out of the hospital a lot because I had really bad, you know, bowel disease.
You have IBS?
I had IBD.
Crohn's?
IBS is like irritable bowel syndrome. That's when you just sort of like, you know, have stress or allergies,
but IBD is inflammatory bowel disease. So I had colitis. Oh yeah, colitis. But I had my colon
removed about 20 years ago at the Mayo Clinic. So do you have a... Colostomy bag? Yeah. I had one
for a couple months, but I don't have one it's a two part surgery which I mean
this is like
it's like a lot to talk about
I talk about it
I do a show now
it's a one man show
where I talk all about this stuff
because it's like
it's a lot of information
honestly
is it called talking shit?
it's called
Minnesota Reggae Colostomy Bag
actually
I would call it talking shit
but I feel like
they wouldn't be able
to put it on a marquee
that's right
we got to remove your colon
it's all
everyone's Jamaican at the Mayo Clinic.
It would be fucking great.
Amazing.
It's about like my obsession with reggae, but it's like, it's the, you know, it's like
the whole story and things.
But yeah, I did have a colostomy bag for about three months between these two surgeries.
Yeah.
I was going to say, never when I knew you, did you have one though?
No.
Because it was quick.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You would know.
I would be talking about it or I would just be like hiding away all the time. So what happens when they remove it? Then what do you, then everything is, you're one though? Because it was quick. Yeah. You would know. I would be talking about it or I would just be like hiding away all the time.
So what happens when they remove it?
Then everything is, you're okay now?
Basically how it works is that-
You can live without it.
You can live without a colon.
Yeah.
It's different, but it's better than living with a bad colon.
So I'm very, very ignorant.
Okay.
What's the change that needs to happen now that you do not have the colon?
Well, there's no change.
So what happens is they, okay, so the surgery works like this.
There's two parts.
The first surgery, they go in, they remove your entire large intestine, your colon.
Insane.
And they hook up the end of your small intestine to the colostomy bag.
That's like in front of your abdomen here.
Got it.
That's what the colostomy bag is.
Because they make sort of like a new rectum slash colon out of the ending of your small
bowel, your small intestine.
Wow.
It's called the J pouch in my case.
There's different types of them.
But they make that and they connect it to your anus.
So it becomes your new rectum thing.
But that is not ready to be used yet.
Because it needs to.
It has to heal up.
Yeah.
So for those two or three months you have while it's healing up, you shit out of a colostomy bag.
Great.
And so you have that.
And then once everything is healed up in there, you have another surgery.
It's not as intense, only a few days recovery.
And they reconnect everything.
And then after that surgery, you will shit out of your asshole once again.
Rock and roll.
So that's where I have been since, yeah, over 20 years now.
That's nuts.
I'm really lucky, though, because there's people who have had that surgery who, like,
have major complications and they have to reverse the surgery.
There's all kinds of stuff.
Like, I'm super lucky.
When do you have to go get it done again?
Do you have to?
Hopefully never.
So this is it for life?
Yeah.
It's not like, you know, when they do, like...
Like a valve replacement?
Yeah, like, hearts you have to do every, like, 15 or 20 years or something?
I don't know.
I think a lot of times they don't think you're gonna last that long for certain things
because it's like if you get 10 extra years with a heart you're probably like oh i'm gonna use these
years baby i'm gonna fucking use them yeah throwing away all your statins you're like i'm
gonna ruin this thing as fast as i can yeah i've been super lucky i don't think they have to do
any upkeep at all i do have to go in in and get a colonoscopy once a year.
I have to just make sure it's still sealed up and everything.
But I think I would know if it was broken.
I go get a colonoscopy every month.
Every month?
Just for fun.
You have a punch card?
Yeah.
Who's your doctor?
We'll talk about it off the pot, obviously.
Dr. Anoush.
Oh, Dr. Anoush.
Yeah.
Barbara Gadouk Anoush.
Barbara Gadouk Anoush. You know that guy? Barbara Gadouk Anoush? Yeah, I see his brother. Oh, you do Anoush. Yeah. Barbara Gadouk Anoush. Barbara Gadouk Anoush.
I see...
You know that guy?
Barbara Gadouk Anoush?
Yeah, I see his brother.
Oh, you do?
Baba G.
Oh, Baba G is great.
Yeah.
He's a mayo guy.
Yeah, he loves mayo.
He just loves mayo.
Yeah, it's insane.
He just puts it...
He uses that for lube.
Yeah, lube.
That's his lube.
His mayo.
From his sandwiches.
I mean, it's great.
It's natural.
Yeah.
You know, you use the excess.
It's great.
It's great, baby.
I had to go get a bunch of, we're in the medical world.
I had to go get a bunch of prostate exams because I had prostatitis.
Do you know prostatitis?
It sounds like it's the inflammation of the prostate.
He got it.
So it's just generic inflammation.
But it's so weird.
It's like there is no, they can point it to a million things over why you get it.
But sometimes it's an infection. Sometimes it's it's like there is no they can point it to a million things over why you get it but sometimes it's an infection sometimes it's the body's reaction but it hurts like fucking crazy when you pee it would hurt like in my taint when i would sometimes when i pee sometimes and i
would drop the kids off at the pool like it depended on when i would what time of year it
was or how bad it was it was like enlarged yeah or well it's it's it's it's um inflamed inflamed
just because it's responding to something else weird dude it hurt like crazy yeah so when people
like how was the prostate was the prostate exams crazy like that pales in comparison to the pain
you feel yeah he could have stuffed a fucking you know a hoagie up my ass i wouldn't have cared i
the pain from that was insane sometimes at night in the middle of the night how they treat
it there's a bunch of different you can take a bunch of different pills they try they give you
a bunch of different stuff to see what you took oh god i don't know i took maybe 10 different things
but it's gone it hasn't been around in a long time but but now if it comes back it's almost
like a panic attack where i know it's coming did you when did you read that john sarno book
wearing your back issues two or three months after I herniated my disc originally.
Right.
So you put any credence into that book at all?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you still kept seeing all these specialists for it though.
Yeah, because...
It was painful.
Because I was in extreme pain.
Yeah.
I was in quite, quite debilitating pain.
The first thing they ask you when you go to see a certain orthos and specialist, they say like...
Have you read the book?
Yeah. Have you read the book? Do you want to leave and go read the book at the parking lot? So do you know about the secret?
They say do you do you have suicidal tendencies or thoughts? Are you serious? A high amount of people that are in nerve pain is
Quick to go to the darkest depths of the because it's not like I broke my arm right nerve pain iserve pain is. It's different. People that know,
know it's,
I can't even describe.
It does something to your brain where you think I could give up.
I could give up because it's so painful.
Nothing fixes it.
Right.
Like,
dude,
I was,
I was,
what did you say to the doctor though?
What,
how'd you answer?
What have I,
did you say yes?
No,
I said there was,
I said there are days when I am,
uh,
there's days when I just don't want to leave the house because i'm so fucking frustrated and mad damn and i'll just lay down
on the floor to try to give some sort of relief yeah but i haven't it didn't get dark like that
never got that dark but you've never had that in general i feel like all can be suicidal thoughts
yeah not suicidal thoughts but but a grave depression i mean i have depression anxiety
but that's,
you know,
standard.
That's what I mean.
I mean,
like I've,
but I've never had the thought of like,
I gotta get,
I'm going to get out of here.
But you've never thought about it.
Like,
um,
like I wouldn't do it,
but I'm going to think about how I would,
if I would,
but I'm not going to,
I couldn't do it.
Never even thought about it.
Like the process.
I thought about you thinking about it.
So I guess that's kind of one in the same.
I thought about me killing you. Yeah. I thought about you murdering me no i've never
thought i've never thought uh no and by the way i know me if i was gonna go out like if i found out
that like i only have a certain amount of time left i know me it's it's i'm gonna go on a boat
somewhere i'm gonna get sauced up every day and just slip till i'm not around anymore yeah because
you got to get the life insurance for the family. That's right. We can cut that.
All states listening in.
All right, he tipped us off to what he's going to do.
Okay, so you've got to do something else than that.
Yeah, I'll do something else.
See that book, I don't know.
For me, that John Sarno book, it changed my life
because I had really bad back pain for a long time.
And now I just have migrating pain.
Now it moves. Yeah, I just have migrating pain. No, it moves.
Yeah. I mean, cause that's definitely a thing. Like all bowel diseases are stress related,
like deeply related to stress, like almost direct line to where if you're relaxed,
your bowels relax. They even say that. So it's the kind of thing where so much stuff feels like
you just, if you're, if you feel confident about your doctor,
then you're going to, you're going to feel better.
Yeah.
That's funny.
Cause I don't.
You don't?
No.
You got to find another doctor then.
Give me all your doctors.
I got them.
I share them.
Cause it took me a while to find them.
You can share doctors.
You can't share therapists.
Do you feel that way?
Do you have a therapist?
Yeah.
And I got them from a share.
See, I don't, I'm afraid of a share.
Yeah, me too. Because I know one night at a dinner party, they're like, you know what pemberton sent to me today i don't believe that they don't tell
anybody i've always said oh they absolutely talk about it drives me nuts i mean like on the
sopranos right like they're talking about it they're leaking it for sure they're leaking it
to somebody definitely especially if you're someone that they know and they'd like they
like your work or they know who you are dude they're talking to somebody about it i found out
about five sessions in with my therapist he was like okay i have to tell you i um i've seen i know
your work oh great i'm like oh i'm leaving immediately i thought the opposite so it's
kind of like oh really no you're sometimes there's the ego taken over totally but also
it's the kind of thing where in a way i, I feel like that is good therapy, is when you tell someone your problems and they sort of laugh at how you said it.
It's like, well, I guess it's not so bad, is it?
Sure.
I guess that does temper it down.
I just want someone who's anti-comedy, who they're not interested in this world even a little bit.
So they're like, you do podcasting and stand-up stuff?
What's it called?
A pop cap?
Pop cap?
Is it pop cap? A pop cap? My daughter listens to pop caps. So you're doing these pop
caps. Is this a, what is this? Is this an audio thing? I'm listening to a hub cap right now. It's
actually quite good. So Andrew, last time we talked about you were stressed about your hub caps.
Now, have you always had a problem with your cars? Yeah, well, they all fall off. That's
the problem. Now, your dad was a car guy. Is this having to do with the hubcap?
Yeah, maybe this all goes back to the...
The pubcap?
The pubcup cap? Does your therapist
stutter?
Andrew,
tell me how you feel.
I want to
ask you, has your mom...
This daughter of a therapist is so good.
Oh, my God.
Does it hurt your feelings?
Okay, I'm better.
I'm good.
I'm actually great.
That'd be like the thing I used to tickle kids in the ER to see if they're
really hurt.
Wait, who did this?
That's like an old doctor trick.
My dad's a doctor, so it's like, I know.
Is he a pediatrician?
No, he's a surgeon, actually.
People just tickle kids?
Yeah, they do.
They all do it.
They go in for surgery.
They try to, like, if a kid comes into the ER, they're like, oh, you try to tickle them
because you see if how much they're, how they're actually really.
Ah, their scale of their pain.
Yeah, that's smart.
It's not just like they're acting like, oh, good, who knew?
That's really...
That's actually very smart.
Yeah.
What do they say?
Like yelling louder than a kid is crying sometimes.
Have you ever seen those videos on the internet?
A kid will be crying,
and the dad will just be going,
and the kid will just immediately be shocked
at the father's yelling,
and then they'll stop,
and they'll find out if the crying
is actually from pain induced
or they're just trying
to get your attention.
You ever do that?
I yell at everybody
in here all the time
but I don't think
that has anything to do
with anything.
I just like to yell
as loud as I can.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's just my way
of communicating I love you.
Do you do like a low yell
or a high yell?
That's sort of a wave.
That's sort of a middle.
It's wailing.
Well, that's as high
as you can go.
Well, I can do
a bank breaker. Let's hear it. you want to hear it for real here we go
this is kind of signature yeah
oh my god that's insane oh my god it's very loud isn't it that is your that was that's about seven
though i can do a 10 but let's not do it that's
not you gotta pay me for a 10 i'll take seven in here we pour whiskey this episode whiskey ginger

Did you go watch the sun?
Did you go look at the eclipse today?
No, because we don't get to see it here.
Yeah, no.
It's happening.
Yeah, but it wasn't happening.
It's not totality.
If it's not totality...
I went and looked at it.
It was kind of neat.
Really?
Yeah, one of the girls gave me glasses by the coffee shop, and she was like, you want to look?
And I looked up, and it was neat.
I don't know.
I want that totality.
I am legitimately pissed that I...
I was going to go.
I was going to fly to Texas.
To where?
Texas, yeah.
But I have something to do tomorrow that I can't miss.
So I was like, am I going to fly back the day of the eclipse?
But you know what?
It's just going to be absolute mayhem.
I'm not going to make it back in time.
I was in Niagara Falls yesterday, where it literally passes through.
And we didn't stay.
Why didn't you stay?
Because I needed to get back and see you.
Yeah, that's true.
I'm here with you.
You could have rescheduled.
You've been like, Johnny, the eclipse.
But also, I wanted to get home. And I'm moving. So it's true i'm here with you you could have rescheduled you've been like johnny no the eclipse but also i wanted to get home and i'm moving so it's like yeah like yeah and also
another day to kill just to see that to be like all right now i gotta go home but i hear it's
life-changing i don't think so you don't think so in what way it's happening right now nothing's
happening well i'm talking like the total now i'm fucking stuttering the totality when you're the path of the totality
it becomes completely and totally dark
in the middle of the day
for two or three minutes
and you're around all these people
and all the animals and all the plants
it's a thing that is significant
that you can't just like laugh off
yeah no I saw
I watched this video this morning in bed
of this native gentleman talking about
it represents the total death and the rebirth of the sun.
So those that are present for it get to die and be reborn in that moment.
I need to do that.
I need to die and be reborn.
Well, you could also just do ayahuasca and that'll be kind of your eclipse.
I've done ketamine.
You've done ketamine therapy ever?
Ketamine is kind of like a lunar eclipse, not a solar eclipse. I've done ketamine. You done ketamine therapy ever? Ketamine is kind of like a lunar eclipse,
not a solar eclipse.
I mean, I died.
I died a couple times.
You did?
Oh, I was like, oh, I'm dying now.
I felt it for real.
It was like...
It was the most intense experience
I've ever had in my entire life.
Now, have you done ayahuasca?
No.
That's the one they say will push you
right over the edge and bring you right back.
Really?
Yeah, it's almost like you're hanging on and it shows you everything and then you come right back.
I'm scared for the diarrhea aspect of it.
For you, yeah, that'd be bad.
Yeah, because I have friends who have decent bowels.
Right.
And they're like, oh, I've got a couple, you know, got the ayahuasca shits for a couple days.
Yeah, but that's okay.
Who cares?
Yeah, but me having the ayahuasca shits,
it might be like,
oh, I've got to take tons of Imodium
and like,
I don't know.
It might be really bad.
Did you ever throw up
when you did mushrooms?
You know those guys
that throw up
every time they do mushrooms?
I know people
that throw up every time.
I have a weird thing
where,
because my digestive tract
is so short,
that I will,
if I can make it
through a queasy,
about 50 minutes of queasy,
I just have diarrhea like two hours later.
Really?
For real, yeah.
So you're ripped on mushrooms and you shit?
I'll shit, yeah.
In the mid-trip.
Mid-trip shit.
Yeah, but I know a lot of people who do have the thing where they have to throw up on mushrooms. Yeah, a lot of people I know do that for some reason.
Have you done it?
A mid-trip shit.
I never threw up on mushrooms ever.
But you've done psychedelics.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Oh, I love them very much.
Yeah.
You should try ketamine therapy then.
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
Why?
I don't know why, but ketamine to me, maybe because of high school.
Oh, really?
You had it back then?
Yeah.
Oh, we didn't have that shit, no.
I didn't even know about it until a couple years ago, really.
K-Holan?
Yeah, I mean, I heard about it, but I did a whole lot.
And everybody I knew that did it, it was like so intense.
Yeah.
And I knew a couple of people from back then that did acid, that I would do acid with a couple of guys.
So you've done acid?
Yeah, I don't enjoy it, though.
Really?
I think I did it maybe three times, two or three times, and I got to tell you, not for me.
Time to do it again at the Ren Faire.
No, see, mushrooms at the Ren Faire, for sure.
Yeah.
Were you just stoned or were you on something?
Just high on edibles and having a few beers.
See, Eddie's for me is, nah, I want to smoke a joint, have a couple drinks, and then I
feel perfect.
After a joint and a couple of drinks, for some reason, is like the perfect marriage
to me of chemicals.
Totally.
It's really good.
But edibles are so like, here I go.
I know.
I couldn't sleep that night.
Yes, yes.
Because I don't like that.
I was so,
I woke up
because the booze were off
and then I'm like in bed
just,
hey,
what do I want to do?
What do I want to do?
I'm like,
what the fuck?
I'm just so high
and it's so dark.
Can you take heavy milligrams?
Are you one of these guys
that can do like a-
No, no, no.
I never do.
I'm like the guy who like,
no.
You take a little baby dose
and you're fine.
A little bit.
I'm like,
ugh.
Like I've hung out with these guys that take like 500 milligrams.
It's because they have tolerances through the roof.
That's what it is.
That's crazy.
Yeah, I think it's the same as-
That's like 10 joints.
It is, but their tolerance is so high.
Yeah, so what does that do to your body?
I wonder.
At some point, you are kind of like, what does it-
I would love to know the science behind when it slows down.
I don't know.
Like when your body sees the tetrahydrocannabinol and it goes, we're going to bank this.
It doesn't do anything.
We're going to bank this Delta 9.
Yeah, we're going to put the fat in your brain.
It's weird to think like it can literally go, we'll bank this.
We won't utilize this.
Well, it must process it and push it away.
What else could it do with it?
Because the tolerance just means like it's not's not it's not like because if you flood yourself with more milligrams
it's not like uh it's just like used to this it's obviously doing something with it yeah because it
knows it so it puts it somewhere right maybe you just can't it can't convert it it's run out of
chemicals to convert or convert so fast it doesn't even affect you this is like two guys who just
don't know no idea making something we know a little bit about into negative knowledge.
I'm pretty sure like the chemicals that-
It's basically like every podcast ever.
Yeah, every podcast.
It started with this much knowledge and then we just went, whoa, because we're like, oh, yeah.
Actually, yeah, I heard that if you do the chemical, it's a triboxylene.
Oh, triboxylene.
Yeah, triboxylene.
Which is very good pasta as well.
Which is really good for your feet oftentimes because-
Just your arch.
Right, because back when the Romans were running against the Greeks, that's why they called
them Greeks because it's the-
Well, it actually turned into an epithet.
Yeah.
Fucking baccalinis.
That's why you can't say that in a bar now.
You're not supposed to.
You're not.
Well, I found out the hard way.
Oh, you did?
You called someone a Bacallini?
I called him Bacallini.
Downtown.
Downtown?
That was downtown.
It's always downtown.
We were downtown.
I called a guy Bacallini and started a fight.
It was terrible.
Hey, Bacallini.
Look at this fucking Bacallini over there.
Hey, look at this.
Learn how to tie your shoes, Bacallini.
Hey, chooch.
Is that a chooch?
You're a chooch?
You fucking chooch.
There was this Italian guitar teacher
I used to know
who called people chooch.
Like, hey, chooch.
Hey, look at this chooch over here.
It's not even offensive,
but it is.
It's like a...
Sounds bad, chooch.
It sounds bad.
Hey, freaking chooch over here.
Oh, there's fucking...
Let's get another fake insult.
What's another fake insult?
But that one's real, isn't it? A chooch? What is a chooch? I have no idea. A chooch? I. Oh, there's fucking, let's get another fake insult. What's another fake insult? But that one's real, isn't it?
A chooch?
What is a chooch?
I have no idea.
A chooch?
I gotta tell you.
This was a guy named,
like, long, curly hair.
You know, big old,
like a guy from the 80s.
Like Anthony.
His name was John.
Johnny.
I'm not gonna say his last name,
but it started with an I.
Ended with an I.
But he would call people chooch
as an insult?
Hey, chooch.
Oh, donkey.
So ass.
I'm just waiting for everything to come back around and be like, oh, shouldn't say that.
You know what I mean? Yeah.
It's so funny that everything goes back to donkey.
That would be very funny.
Donkey.
Everything goes right back to donkey.
Yeah.
The donkey is the original butt of the joke.
The ass. The ass of the joke butt of the joke. The ass.
The ass of the joke.
Fucking chooch.
Chooch.
Chooch sounds.
What's another word?
Ding-a-ling.
Ding-a-ling.
Ding-a-ling.
Dope.
I like dope.
Dope.
Dope's good.
You fucking dope.
Hey, you maroon.
Maroon.
That's what Bugs Bunny used to say, right?
He's calling people colors.
What a maroon.
Look at this fucking teal over here.
Teal.
There's someone I used to think was bad.
I can't think what it is.
Oh, what?
I say a bad one?
Yeah, maroon is bad.
There you go.
What does maroon mean?
Let's just not,
let's not know.
No, we're going to find out.
If we know.
If we know it's bad.
If I know, then.
Yeah, maroon.
Who's it again?
Well, let me,
I would say people of color.
Yeah, probably.
Probably is.
Okay.
Bugs Bunny, for Christ's sake.
Jesus.
What a maroon.
It's crazy that Bugs Bunny
would call people that.
Bugs Bunny.
Yeah.
But maybe it meant
something different back then?
You doubt it.
I thought it meant that back then.
Yeah, no.
Back then it meant that.
Now we can say it.
It means something else.
I got marooned on an island.
Right.
So is that related at all, you suppose?
I hope not.
How about marooned?
Find that out.
That's got to be different.
God, I hope that really is.
There's someone I was wondering about.
Can you say dink?
You can say...
I think dink is in reference to a...
Like a dumb person?
Yeah, because I think it's...
I think it's derived from what?
Maroon is derived from the term maroon, a word for a fugitive slave.
Jesus Christ!
We can't say that either.
Everything is just...
Marooned is offensive?
Because we say that all the time.
I mean, not all the time, but people would say they were marooned on an island.
That was the original name of that movie with Tom Hanks.
Marooned.
It's called Marooned.
That's right.
Yeah.
It's a corruption of the Spanish Cimarron.
Cimarron.
It's a household animal or slave.
But Cimarron, it's a Cimarron.
That's you.
Yeah.
You're like the boxer, the Mexican boxer.
Canelo.
Cimarron.
Cimarron.
Cimarron means like, does that mean cinnamon?
Yeah, cinnamon.
Yeah.
Cimarron. Cimarron. So it's a bad, does that mean cinnamon? Yeah, cinnamon. Yeah. Cimarron.
Cimarron.
So it's a bad,
you know about,
you know about buckaroo?
Tell me this one's bad too.
No, it's not bad.
Buckaroo comes from the Spanish word vaquero.
Vaquero.
And you say vaquero so fast,
it sounds like buckaroo.
Vaquero.
Vaquero.
Vaquero.
Vaquero.
Vaquero.
But it's vaquero with a V.
Vaquero, right?
Vaquero.
But V and B in Spanish are often pronounced.
I know, they're one and the same.
Yeah.
Vaquero. Vaquero. Hey, what's up, vaquero with a V. Vaquero, right? Vaquero. But V and B in Spanish are often pronounced. I know. They're one of those things. Yeah. Vaquero.
Vaquero.
Hey, what's up, Vaquero?
We got a Vaquero over here.
Well, wouldn't you know, I'm just a good old Vaquero.
Vaquero.
Vaquero.
Hey, you hear him calling me Vaquero?
Hey, you call me a Vaquero, baby.
I love the Southern accent.
Oh, my God.
When you do the Southern accent on your IG, by the way, when you see... Oh, oh right that's a different one that's like sort of a different there's like the there's
the george that's the george w bush right one like the one that's like hi babe hi babe hey you like
wings yeah you like wings hey baby oh man you like wings yeah i'll tell you we're going to
titty bar you want to go to titty bar titty bar what don't don't they stop don't ask us don't
they stop last chicas titates now what's your other deep south
what's the deep south
deep south is like
gotta be more like
um
well
we went looking for them
we drove all over there
all over
we drove all over there
and there's just
bunch of old oil rigs around there
and I saw a guy
I saw him
but then
we came back and ran
and
he's dead but we didn't kill him or nothing
we never do that's that one my dad's my i imitate my dad's friend from north carolina they have all
the north carolina well he's got a real deep voice and he says andrew andrew andrew i'll give you
20 you can do 20 push-ups boy that's what he would say dollars dollars i'll give you $20. You can do 20 push-ups, boy. That's what he would say. Dollars. Dollars. I'll give you $20, boy.
Get your ass out on the pool.
Go ahead, run down there and back.
If you can do it in 10 minutes, I'll give you a $20 bill.
That's a good sound check.
My dad's buddy used to bet me I could.
You hit three shots from over there, boy.
I'll give you a $10 bill right now.
And I'd be like, really? Go in and get it.
Go show it to me.
Isn't that like a thick kid Chicago accent?
Yeah, go inside and get it. I'll bet your dollars when you come back. I'll bet your dollar you can't do it. Go show it to me. Is that like a thick kid Chicago accent? Yeah, go inside and get it.
I'll bet your dollars when you come back.
I'll bet your dollar you can't do it.
I'll see you on Diversion
Whacker if you get it.
Yeah.
What are you doing putting mustard on that
dog? No, ketchup
on that dog. You put ketchup on that dog?
Get it out of here.
I'll put ketchup on it. I can't do of here. I'll put ketchup on my own head.
I can't do it.
But the deep,
but the deep,
the deep one's different.
Well, it's funny,
the deep south,
it ends in North Florida,
then it just transitions
somewhere around,
somewhere around like,
Orlando?
No, no,
Orlando's way far south.
The accent kind of dies
around like the
Clearwater,
Tampa level of Florida.
I mean,
it kind of does.
Clearwater, that's Redneck country. I know, but right, that's what I'm saying Florida. I mean, it kind of does. And Clearwater, that's redneck country.
I know, but that's what I'm saying.
Right below that, it kind of shifts into weird, vague,
middle Florida whites.
Yeah.
But there's still country bumpkin down there.
I was down there for a while in September,
and I feel like I didn't hear any.
Country?
Yeah.
I was in Tampa, in St. Pete. That's I didn't hear any. Country? Yeah. I was in Tampa and St. Pete.
It was probably like all,
that's all like white retirees too.
So it's just like,
it's probably like,
oh, how you doing, sweetheart?
Yeah, sweetheart.
Well, it's mostly probably
from the East Coast.
Yeah.
People from Jersey.
The Jersey accent's taken over Tampa.
Jersey, well,
Tampa and Jersey,
similar.
Really?
Yeah, similar.
There's a pipeline
from Jersey to Tampa.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, it's underground. Oh, underground pipeline. That's what that big old steakhouse I didn't know that yeah it's just it's underground
oh underground pipeline
that's what I have
that big old steakhouse
that's what that steakhouse
is for
it's to cover the portal
correct
have you been to that
steakhouse Burns
Burns Steakhouse
have you been there
yeah
I've never been there
why not
because I just
didn't have a chance to
I guess
because you should have gone
I know
we were busy
when you go
when you go on tour
right
do you make sure
that you explore the city
or you don't give a shit
I try to do as much as I can explore the city or you don't give a shit?
I try to do as much as I can, but I do less now because it's like, I feel like I have only so much energy.
Yeah, I understand. And sometimes, like, ooh, do I want to do that?
Like, do I want to have to get up?
Because a lot of times if I'm touring at all or if I'm working in the city, like a movie or something like that,
it's like my job, I feel like, is to sleep.
Is to get rested.
Yeah, I have to force myself to sleep even though I really want to go.
I want to go to a bunch of record stores and stuff.
I used to all the time.
I would go to every record store in a city.
I would go there for hours and stuff.
I would get drunk there.
I love those days.
Oof, I just can't.
The hangover thing for me now is-
Different.
Yeah.
I think it's a non-starter almost.
I know.
But those days I do remember in my mind.
One of my favorite days on earth was I walked around Queen Anne, the neighborhood in Seattle,
and I met up with my buddy Brandon.
Dude.
One of my best days in Seattle too.
Seattle.
I had a crab cake.
It was the best crab cake I've ever had in my entire life with...
What's that really cold vegetable?
What the fuck is it called it grows
like in the winter watercress oh watercress on a crab cake get real you went i went to a brewery
in seattle sat at a table by myself ingratiated myself to a table of four people i said uh
hey can i can i join your table and they were like yeah sure and then i said can i buy you a
round of drinks and then you know they were like oh yeah, sure. And then I said, can I buy you a round of drinks? And then, you know, they were like,
oh, you don't have to do that.
You can sit and hang with us.
And I bought a couple rounds
and having a good time.
I went out back,
smoked a joint with this guy.
Damn.
Then I just walked down the water,
met up with my buddy Brandon,
had phenomenal seafood.
Yeah.
And then we went paddle boarding
out at Alki Beach.
And I said,
as I sat on the paddleboard,
I said,
this is one of the greatest days
of my fucking life.
This is pre-pandemic.
This is years ago.
This has got to be
seven or eight years ago now.
But I was like,
this is one of the greatest days
of my fucking life.
Like it felt like,
you know on a day you're like,
is everything perfect?
Like everything kind of
lined up time-wise.
Like you did so much stuff.
How did I do all this stuff?
But it didn't like kill me.
It weren't like,
we weren't racing to get anywhere.
It was kind of fluid and easy and everything felt like it kind of was like...
Natural.
Yeah, we're like, hey, at 3.30, I think we're going to meet there.
I'm like, it's in an hour.
That's great.
I had an hour to get there.
It's only 10 minutes away.
It was kind of like the timing of it.
And then they were like, oh, and then this guy's going to pick us up.
He's going to take us back to their house.
It's right next to your hotel.
I'm like, Jesus Christ.
It's almost like some days the universe is like, I'm going to give you something to remember.
I had a very similar thing in Seattle where it was like just things kept, I saw some friend
of mine from Minnesota walking on the street because they stopped because they had a huge
layover.
So they just went down to the, what's it called, the fish market area there for a couple
hours.
I kind of think of the name of that fucking market.
Yeah.
Some lady who was staying at the same hotel as Duncan and I. She gave me a ride down there.
Awesome.
And I walked back up.
Just like all these weird little coincidences and stuff.
I like that stuff falls like that.
With Duncan Trussell?
Yeah.
Love the dunk.
We were there for a comedy.
Missed that guy, huh?
He's an Austin man now.
I know.
All people...
Would you ever move down there?
I thought about it, but you know, I don't know.
I mean, it's...
How about you?
What do you think about it?
No.
No, no, no.
I mean, I... No. about you? What do you think about it? No, no, no, no. I mean, I.
Never?
No, no.
But why?
Um, why is it?
Why is it?
You know me.
I mean, you're set up here.
Everything's good.
No, I like life here.
I don't.
Right.
I'm not going to stay in LA forever.
No chance.
I mean, that's just because.
Well, there's a lot of, I mean, there's a ton.
Ton of spots.
Back to Chicago?
Maybe, but Colorado's big on the meter.
We love Colorado.
Colorado's pretty nice.
I fucking love it.
Yeah, or not proper, but outside, yeah.
Somewhere outside.
Utah, I actually fucking love Utah.
Me too.
I mean, Boise is, honestly, I'm not moving there,
but it's one of the most underrated cities.
You gotta wait a little bit, though.
Huh?
You gotta wait a little bit.
What is why?
What's going on up there?
There was like a huge influx of people who moved there.
Yeah, and they're kind of like, get the fuck out of here, you know?
But it is one of the most underrated cities I've been to in a long time.
Never been there.
Oh, Boise's great.
They have wolverines there.
Yeah, that's why I want to go.
And grizzlies.
Yeah, have you eaten them?
They're delicious.
Grizzlies?
No, wolverine.
I haven't, no.
I haven't had a chance.
Ooh, a little wolverine, a little cracked black pepper, a little fucking extra virgin
olive oil surrounded on some truffle black mashed potatoes.
I can't imagine.
That's probably the least edible animal that has ever existed.
It's got to be.
It's got to be.
It's got to be so tough.
The hardest to find.
Yeah.
There's people who study wolverines for decades.
They see one in their whole life.
Yeah, I saw one once.
Yeah.
You were in that documentary, Chasing the Phantom.
No.
It's the greatest documentary ever.
This is about wolverine hunting? Yes. It is so fucking cool. You get high, watch this. Write that down, Chasing the Phantom? No. It's the greatest documentary ever. This is about Wolverine hunting?
Yes.
It is so fucking cool.
You get high, watch this.
Write that down, Chasing the Phantom.
For years, my answer machine message was a clip from that where it's some guy from Michigan
being like, Wolverine's going to climb what he wanted to climb, bite who he's going to
bite, do what he wants to do, and go where he wants to go.
These guys are obsessed with them. Well, because they're tiny, right, too? They're going to bite, do what he wants to do, and go where he wants to go. These guys are obsessed with them.
Well, because they're tiny, right, too?
They're little tiny things, and they're evasive.
And they have trackers on them.
Like, oh, it just went over a 12,000-foot mountain.
What?
Just to eat a bone.
And then come back.
Like, they're fucking psychos.
They eat bones.
That's how they set traps for them.
They put up a bone, something that nothing else wants to eat,
and this thing's going to climb up and eat the goddamn bone.
Well, because they're really, and they're also, are they close to going extinct?
They were going to die out at one point.
They were trying to make it so they weren't going to die out
because they weren't plentiful or breeding.
They're good?
They're least concerned.
Good.
Thank God.
Least concerned. I don't have a t- concerned. Good. Thank God. Least concerned.
I don't have a t-shirt that says that about me.
Least concerned.
Johnny Pemberton.
Johnny Pemberton.
I like to stay in the realm of least concerned.
We all should have a spread like that.
Instead of the endangered thing, it's like, where do you fall in terms of society's feelings about you?
Probably way down here.
Least concerned.
Yeah.
I want to stay in least concerned.
They were recently protected. I told you that. Probably way down here. Least concern. Yeah. I want to stay in least concern. They were recently protected.
I told you that.
That's some...
Okay.
I feel like I read
something that said...
Habitat loss?
Well, they were...
A lot of genetic diversity.
Yeah, something about
they were...
That's probably
because of habitat loss.
Yeah.
Everything's habitat loss.
Yeah, we're fucking
all their shit up.
I had a guy...
By the way,
climate change too.
They said, yeah,
they keep moving around.
They keep finding new places to live
and they're not suitable for them
so they die
why do I know this about wolverines
this is another thing
I just learned the other day
that I
from a podcast called
I don't know
that'd be a cool name for a podcast
yeah
I don't know
I don't know
I'm changing my name
to mind that honestly
I don't know
yeah
well like
it's the kind of thing
we gotta
you want me to say it yeah it's called I don't know. It's the kind of thing where you gotta...
You want me to say it?
Yeah.
It's called...
I don't know.
Everyone's like,
is your buddy okay?
How do you spell that?
I'm gonna cut you off, sir.
That's it, yeah.
That's why I got cut off?
Yeah.
I was trying to whistle my name.
I don't know.
Thank you.
What are those?
What were you saying, though,
about the wolf?
Oh, this is wild.
I learned that
if the sun
were relatable in time
to human years,
like if it was a human,
it would be middle-aged.
It's almost halfway
through its life.
Look up how old the sun is.
This is wild
and it did a whole thing about
if it was basically
going through life,
it'd be middle-aged.
And of course,
so much of corny
middle-aged jokes
came to my mind about the son.
Like a bunch of like reading cards.
Well, the son just bought a Corvette.
You know that?
Yeah.
Son just bought a Corvette.
Yeah, he got a divorce again.
Son's late for his life.
He's now living in a studio apartment in Van Nuys.
It's $4.6 billion.
Billion, yeah.
$4.6 billion.
So they said it has another 5 billion years left before she go bye-bye.
So we got some time.
But it's halfway through its life.
Isn't that crazy to think we we're experiencing it's half life
yeah
but some say
this is the best years
I would argue
he's probably more settled
in his
you know
spirituality
I bet you the son
has a good grip on
who he likes
who he doesn't want
to hang out with anymore
has some savings
a couple of bucks
he's got a 401k
he's probably not going out
as much as he used to
not going out as much
you know
knows who he is
there was a great comic
who had
and I don't remember who it was.
Maybe this will ring a bell to you.
He had a great joke about how the sun is the worst, the worst, the worst thing on earth
because it's like evil and trying to hurt you and it's not fun to be around.
Right.
But he said that like the moon is like this sensual brilliant calling genius
who's like
come get fucked up with me
I'll let you be out
like a long time
I won't like threaten you
I won't shine a light
on anything that you're doing
do you know who this is?
God it was a long good bit too
I'm the worst though
I remember the joke
but never who says it
so I'm always like
I always get in trouble
where I will repeat a joke
and I just have no idea
who to credit it to
and someone's like who is he?
Like, I forget.
But he did this whole dance about how the moon is this beautiful best friend that always
wants to go like, you know, hey, let's go.
He's like, I can't.
Isn't it late?
It's like, no, no, no.
That makes sense.
Because I always feel like that.
You know, when you're in college, like partying a ton, I felt like I had like two, there's
two people.
There's the part, it's not at night.
It's like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Yeah. Where they never meet, but they're always fucking each other up. Yeah. there's two people there's the part inside at night and there's it's like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde yeah
where they
they never meet
but they're always
fucking each other up
yeah
and I hated
I was always a night guy
I don't like day drinking
I'm not a big day drinker
it's hard for me
yeah
I'm ready to nap
I like it now
see I'm a big night
I can cruise to the night
I can
I would rather
sit on my patio
with a couple of friends
drink and smoke a joint, and drink
and talk until way early in the morning.
Yeah.
There's something about it that's sexy that it's like-
I like that too, I guess.
Because day drinking, I get drunk in the sun.
Okay.
See, I don't like day drinking in the beach.
I'm not a beach.
I don't drink at the beach.
No.
The beach, I'm like, I'm so dehydrated already.
I don't even go into the beach. Look at this. I'm not going to the beach. No, I don't do the beach. No. The beach, I'm like, I'm so dehydrated already. I don't even go into the beach.
Look at this.
I'm not going to the beach.
No, I don't do the beach.
No.
It's two suns.
So instead of, you have the one sun, you have the other sun that's reflecting off the water.
Yeah, it hurts.
You're in a place with zero shade.
Yeah, I don't like it.
I need shade.
If they had big, like giant boulders on a beach that had a lot of shade, I would be interested
in that.
Rocky Beach, yeah.
Rocky Beach is nice.
Like a massive boulder the size of a small apartment.
You could like hide in for a couple hours. Yeah. Then I would be okay with that. Rocky Beach, yeah. Rocky Beach is nice. Like a massive boulder the size of a small apartment. You can hide in for a couple hours.
Yeah.
Then I would be okay with beach.
That's fine.
Outside of that,
you're not going to the fucking beach.
No, I'll do it once.
I'll do it a couple times a year.
Someone said that the other day.
They were like,
California's great.
You guys have the ocean.
You have the mountains.
I said, I haven't been to the beach in...
No.
I honestly don't remember.
And the beach traffic is...
Forget about it.
At one time, I was so pissed
that I literally ripped off
a button-up shirt. I was so pissed that I literally ripped off a button up shirt
that I had on
I was so hot
I was like
fuck and I just
ripped it off
in the car
I'm like
we've been in the car
for a fucking hour
at this point
I just ripped it off
like Bruce Banner
or some shit
I just can't stand
that shit
what now at your
for people
I actually didn't even
give any contact
Johnny and I
have known each other
probably almost 20 years yeah maybe something like that 17 or 18 years something like that yeah Now at your, for people, I actually didn't even give any contact. Johnny and I have known each other probably.
Almost 20 years.
Yeah, maybe something like that.
17 or 18 years, something like that.
Yeah.
And it's so funny how much the scene has changed in stand up.
It has changed so significantly.
Yeah, it's all different now.
That I feel like it's gone through like different, every two, someone told me years ago that
it changes, everything changes in Hollywood every two years.
Yeah.
Which is kind of true.
So if you can wait out a wave, something will something will be different try to catch one of those waves that
applies to you right totally but i feel like now we've had like a cycle of you know it's like a
like a double turnover not even just it's changed so significantly but you know it's it's just it's
well it's cool to watch everyone's career that like we started with people that have taken
different shape and like you know where people have gone it's kind of interesting to like see
yeah how people go because when you're young i think we all have this idea of where we're
going to end up in this game you want to do everything yeah and then you realize that uh
you'll probably do almost nothing you'll do something very specific to you and then that's it
because that's all you can really do you know like i didn't think i would get into acting like
this at all i I really didn't.
Yeah, you act so much more than I ever.
When we were young, you were always so, I mean, have always been so like creative and funny.
And when you started getting into acting, I was like, oh, that's kind of a, it's almost like a perfect marriage of your comedy and your ability.
But I didn't know you were going to be an actor.
I didn't think you wanted to be an actor.
I didn't know either.
Yeah, you just did it.
Yeah.
I remember years ago when I first started comedy, there was someone I was in a sketch
group with and he was a really attractive guy and he got like, you know, some casting
director saw him at a, at a coffee shop and she asked me, are you an actor?
And he says, no, I'm a comedian.
Like, no, no, no, I'm not an actor like no denied it like it was
gross yeah like how could you even think that it's like she said you are you a wart yeah are you a
wart it's like no i'm a i'm a i'm a growth i'm a boil i'm not a wart i'm a i'm a mole it is like
that there's a part of me that still feels there feels something about that that's kind of like... It's dirty.
It's dirty.
It just doesn't have the same level of nuance or...
I don't know.
It's a different world.
I understand this.
Well, because we're in LA, too.
All the New York guys are like, was that a sneeze?
That was.
Jesus Christ.
Hold it in, dude.
Let it go.
Don't hold it in.
You're going to end up with a no colon.
Yeah, that's how I got it.
He held in a sneeze too long.
That's after the surgery.
They just make you sneeze
and it goes,
shoots out.
The rest of the four hours
of them just partying.
They're like,
wow, did you see that?
Pretty sick, dude.
But you're under,
you have no idea.
They just throw a rager.
They just put some weird powder
in my nose.
I'm under anesthesia.
Oh, wow.
Just shot right out.
No. No, I just think it's this thing where like new york comics all you know for years it was like well you're an actor you're not a stand-up dude i started
as stand-up that's why we started i started as a stand-up yeah we got into the other but there's
so many people who were like you know that's how they see me and they're kind of in the way they're
right because i definitely don't do as much stand-up as people who are, like, hardcore stand-ups.
Who cares, though?
Yeah, I mean, I care sometimes,
because it's, you know, time spent is time spent.
I know, but that's all a pride thing
when they say something that you know the truth about.
Right.
It doesn't really matter.
At some point, we're getting older,
where you're like, okay, whatever you say,
I don't give a shit.
It's not going to affect me.
I'm going to keep doing it the way I want to do it and the time balance of it again we said this before we
started the show it's like as you get a little bit older in this business you start to learn
what you actually don't give a fuck about you just don't have time you're like i'm not doing
that shit anymore there's just no time yeah that's the thing i realized more is i just don't
like sometimes like i'm going to do some pilot here next week. I have to
cancel a bunch of stuff.
You shouldn't have, a network TV pilot or a cable pilot?
A cable pilot.
Nice, dude.
Yeah. I mean, what is network now?
There's like three channels.
Technically, but-
We're going back to the days when there was just three channels and there was two shows
on those three channels.
But some of these premium streamers, it's like they have a bigger footprint
than networks do now.
It's weird.
But are they paying you
any money now?
Because last time
I did a thing for Netflix,
I think they gave me
lunch and a hug.
I think I got lunch
and a hug on the way out.
It all depends
because now if you do
have a show on network,
you're not getting
any residuals.
It's not like it used to be.
No.
Not like those old guys
that were getting...
I read an article today
that said, is Terrence Howardard suing he's suing someone because when he
was on empire right uh it was competing numbers with big bang theory and they were getting like
five times what he made and he's like suing saying that this is who is he suing i bet
oh he's suing his agency yeah terrence howard is a he's suing his agency. Oh, but Terrence Howard is a strange one. Is he? Yeah, I know
nothing about the guy. Oh, he has his own kind of math.
What? Yeah.
I love the guy. He is a brilliant actor, but
he is a... Do I not know any of this shit?
What do you mean? He has his own number system?
It's one of those things where
oh, you're an actor.
You know what I mean? This is
not a comedian. This is an actor.
Oh, you're an actor. Oh, you're an actor.
Okay.
Oh, you're an actor.
So you've come up with this idea that the number system we're currently using, it's
not quite for you, is it?
So what is it, like two plus six?
One times one equals two.
He posted like five pages on Twitter.
Yeah.
One times one is two.
One times one is two.
Okay.
Well, because one times one, there's two of us.
Good job, Terrence Howard.
I mean, it's-
I agree with the guy.
I love it.
You know what?
I'm adopting his number system.
Fuck all this traditional bullshit.
I don't-
Maybe it helps.
Maybe I should do it too.
Maybe it's what I need.
It's a little bit of gas.
Are you a T. Howard guy now?
Are we in?
I've always liked the guy.
Yeah.
He's got a great presence.
But I like a guy who sues an agency.
That's fucking rad.
That is the most bossy thing you can possibly do. Fuck yeah, dude most fuck yeah dude sue a whole sue an entire company sue one of the big ones
sue one of the big big old ones go ahead go ahead t how just sue one of the big old boys
the idea of suing such a massive controlling company in our business is fucking rad it's
like andrew santino sues mgm i mean that would be like you know what i mean like i do like it though if you be like, you know what I mean? Like, I do like it though. If you're
going to go after somebody, what is it? Why did it say again?
Did it say because of the payment?
Yeah, it was because of the payment. Saying that he
wasn't making as much as other competing shows
were making at the time? It was. Oh, right, right.
Because they rep the same people. That's what it was.
Who knows?
It's all so, so
slimy. They can't just leave him out there like that, man.
You can't just maroon him.
All right.
And you know what? It was right there.
And I had to.
You got it.
Fucking so dumb.
You're chooch over here.
Hey, come on.
Look at me.
Who am I?
I'm Mr. Chooch.
Look at me.
I'm Mr. Chooch.
I'm just jazzing you.
All right.
I'm just jazzing you.
I'm just.
I'm just jazzing all over you.
I'm just jazzing you off.
What about where does joshing you come from?
Is joshing you?
Where do you think that when someone goes, I'm just joshing.
I don't like joshing. I don't like it. I What do you think when someone goes, I'm just Joshin.
I don't like Joshin.
I don't like the name.
No, that makes me feel like,
that's when people say like amazeballs or when someone says-
Oh, that's so funny.
You know what the worst is?
Is shits and giggles.
Just for shits and giggles?
I can't handle that.
Well, that's because of the-
That's probably because of that.
That's probably because anything related to shits.
Anything shits, you're like,
all right, that's enough.
I shit enough.
I shit enough for- I did the math the other day, actually, related to shits anything shits you're like alright that's enough I shit enough I shit enough for
I did the math the other day
actually how many shits
I've taken in my life
I think I've taken enough shits
to be
like 500 years old
whoa
because you're supposed to take
how many shits a day
three
I think maybe two
two's about average
one to two is my number
depends on the day
yeah
let's say 1.5
yeah one and a half
yeah so I've definitely lived like many many lifetimes in the bathroom, which is interesting to think about.
I have to do the math because this is blowing my mind right now.
365 days of the year.
I'm 40 years old.
Right.
So I've lived for 14,000 days.
Okay.
So 14,600 days times 1.5 shits.
I should have shat 21,000 times.
But also you got to think about baby years when you probably shat a lot more. No, my mother told me I only shat once a day when I was a baby. Yeah.5 shits. I should have shat 21,000 times. But also, you got to think about baby years
when you probably
shat a lot more.
No, my mother told me
I only shat once a day
when I was a baby.
Oh, really?
That's good discipline.
We recorded it.
Damn.
On my bedroom wall,
I have notches on the wall,
you know,
every time I shit.
Oh my God.
You have to do that
if you haven't had a kid.
Just shit,
just do notches on
every time you...
What a gift that would be
to your kid.
Like this piece of oak
that's got like
son this is
every
taking a shit
and you're like
oh
someone will think
it's a Banksy
they're like
that's a Banksy
do you know that
that poop table
that's a Banksy poop table
and the therapist is like
this is a

The stuttering therapist
is such a great character.
It's like an SNL character.
Stuttering therapist.
Your brother killed himself.
Yes, yes, yes.
You're so terrible.
What does joshing mean?
Did you figure it out?
What is it?
Joshin?
1800s.
I'm going to go from...
Is that right? Damn. I'm going to go from... Is that right?
Damn.
I was going to say way after that.
I do like an 1800s one.
When a young man named Josh Tatum noticed the nickels minted in 1883 were almost the same as the $5 gold pieces in terms of size and design,
he and a friend began to electroplate those coins and pass them off as $5 pieces, eventually assuming a small fortune before being conned.
My man!
So Joshin is actually conning.
Not kidding.
It's conning.
Wow.
Are you joshing me?
So now I like the phrase.
If it's used correctly, you're conning someone.
It's like, oh, he was joshing everybody all over town.
He joshed the shit out of the...
He took Walmart for $5 million, Josh.
Damn.
So he was minting coins because they imitated other worth. That's genius, by the way. Good for million, Josh. Damn.
So he was minting coins because they imitated other worth.
That's genius, by the way.
Good for you, Josh Tatum.
Josh Tatum.
Josh, where was this?
Hold on.
Let's guess.
Missouri. What was the year?
18 what?
The coins were minted in 1883.
Oh, I'm going to say this has got to be in like-
East of the Mississippi.
Well, of course.
But I'm guessing- I'd like to think that this was somewhere
in the Virginia
I was going to say that
but I'm thinking
I was thinking North Carolina
maybe like
you know what
I'm going to say
D.C. area
okay that's close to me
from Boston to New York
fucking Massachusetts
I thought Massachusetts
I'm closer
technically
yes technically
yeah but Virginia, DC, DC, Virginia
I think we're one and the same
DC is Virginia
but isn't it closer to up there
we're one and the same
I have to look on a map because I'm stupid
but I'm pretty sure
so we tied
yeah we tied
but you know my instinct was
here let me see map wise
Virginia yeah I mean I guess
alright I'll give it to you thank you what do i what do i get what does he get give it to him
blanton give him a thing blanton's 25 you're aged yeah you can take one of those home if you want
i will i guess he was a deaf mute i think the story is fake no we're gonna go with it though
i like it are you i'm sorry no wikipedia or like it. Are you on Wikipedia? I'm sorry. Are you on Mayo Clinic? This makes sense, though.
Coinweek.com.
Oh, Coinweek.
That's a very valid publication.
I keep all my back issues.
I used to have the magazines, but they stopped making them for some reason.
Yeah, I got joshed.
Turned out it was Time Magazine with the Coinweek on the cover.
I got joshed from them.
That makes sense.
He's a deaf guy because it's like, you know.
Well, yeah, a deaf mute con artist.
Yeah, so like your visual acuity has been,
you get little bonus points, right?
Because you're not as, you're not hearing,
you're not distracted by sounds.
You're like, you know, I'll do the voice.
Do it.
Go ahead.
I can't do it.
I can't.
Honestly, it's one of the verses I can't do.
A deaf voice?
Yeah.
These coins are worth more than you think.
That's Josh in here.
These are worth more than you imagine.
I do love me a good deaf voice.
And you know what?
I'm not making fun of it.
I'm not making fun of it.
Yeah?
I'm just imitating it.
I am Hank Azaria.
I'm doing a poo.
That's all it is.
How is he doing with that?
What's his whole deal?
I don't remember what it is,
but that was such a big
fucking to do
oh my god
what a to do
well
here's the deal
I understand
people being like
ah you should have
an Indian guy voice
an Indian character
yeah
sure I get it
yeah 30 fucking years ago
they were like
that's how it started
and now it's gone so far
that they're like
I think
is it now still voiced by him
or is it voiced by somebody else?
Oh, he's not doing it.
I don't know.
I think he kept doing it for quite a while after that.
I don't.
He publicly apologized.
He shouldn't have to apologize.
I like how Matt Groening didn't have to fucking do it.
He didn't have to.
He doesn't care at all.
I think he's like insulated from everything, probably.
Yeah, he's one of those guys that's so rich and successful, but you never hear anything
about him.
Yeah, I think he doesn't.
He probably just like stays low.
He doesn't want to.
If you got to that level in your career, where do you go and what is your life now?
I don't know.
Cause I like to, I like to be out and about, you know, you want to be in the mix.
You don't want to be isolated.
Yeah.
I mean, I like going to Renfair.
Right.
But that's even, you know, I don't know.
It's, uh, so you don't have like a dream destination that you would like live out your remaining years.
If you retired in 20 years and you're like, I'm done and I did it.
Hawaii.
That's great.
Yeah.
Any island in particular?
Probably the Big Island.
Love the Big Island.
Yeah.
You know why?
I've never been actually.
What?
Yeah, I've only been to the other islands.
Big Island's my favorite.
I know it's going to be my favorite.
Because it's the least touristy.
Exactly. There's almost no tourists there. It's the biggest. It exactly there's almost no tourists there it's the biggest it's the biggest that's all
that's probably that's trump's reason it's the biggest island the biggest one we like the biggest
ones uh it's the least touristy and it's um and it's uh beef the microclimates are crazy oh right
yeah so on one side of the island it's like always raining on the other side almost never rains i mean they get some rains but it's just not as it's crazy the island, it's like always raining on the other side. Almost never rains. I mean, they get some rains, but it's just not as it's crazy.
They'll be like, oh, it's raining on the other side of the island today, right now.
And you look at me like that's what do you mean? Yeah, it doesn't look like it at all.
I went there three years in a row for an event for like this event.
Comedy. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. For a golf charity event.
Nice. And it was great.
And then now they've moved it.
But we loved going there because it was like, it's not like Honolulu.
Yeah, Honolulu.
Chaos, chaos, chaos.
I mean, it's nice in a sense, but it's not like, it's just so, it's a city.
It's cool, but it's just so busy that you're like, is this vacation or am I just near home?
It feels like LA adjacent where you you're like so many fucking people.
What do you what did you look up?
Oh, I thought you were just looking that up.
Well, we've been looking at the Josh and thing.
Did you find out that's real?
That's what I was.
Why would it not be real?
I just said on the bottom of that, it's like kind of an urban legend type thing.
The first.
Well, we'll take it, though.
We'll take it.
I don't want I don't want to discredit it.
I'd rather just keep it like that.
I don't want it to feel, you know.
There should be a Twain dictionary, like a Mark Twain dictionary, where everything's
kind of like, allegedly.
Yeah, so we think.
Well, it's all just, you know.
So they say.
So they say.
So Mark Twain says that.
There is something beautiful about, that's what we've all thought for so long.
And it's fine.
Then it's fine.
Because collective thought counts.
Because it works. Because It's not hurting anybody.
If that story is not hurting anybody.
Yeah.
It doesn't matter.
I mean, he was a con man.
And by the way, wasn't he just tricking the government or tricking?
Well, technically, he's tricking whoever he's passing that off as unless he's turned.
They don't get hurt by it.
Only the minting the mint does.
Right.
I don't know.
I mean, kind of it's one of those things I haven't done yet.
Well, let's do it.
I was thinking about it.
What establishment would you rob if you could rob one?
Oh.
If you were a thief.
Like not a bank?
Yeah, if it's not a bank.
A bank's too easy.
Man.
What do you rob now?
What do you rob now?
Who's got the most cash on hand?
That's what's hard.
No one has cash anymore.
That's why.
Dollar General.
Dollar General.
Yeah, because they're bad. Yeah, I keep hearing this. That's so funny general yeah because they're bad yeah i keep hearing this
that's so funny they're like special bad yeah they're like uniquely awful for people yeah well
not just that yeah so they're like baby walmarts they're ripping off the people who have the least
money in the world right because they think they're getting a deal but then they go and then
they spend more money than they would if they went because they change the prices it's like
talk about it's like robbing from children or something like that like what of all the people getting a deal, but then they go in there and they spend more money than they would if they went somewhere. Because they change the prices. It's genius.
That's like robbing from children or something like that.
Right.
Of all the people,
you're going to,
you know,
what's that scene in,
what is it,
Christmas Vacation?
Remember the cop shows up,
he's like,
I should beat you
with a rubber hose.
Yeah.
That's the best line.
Mr. Of all the low down dirty.
Yeah,
that's such a good line
if I had a rubber hose
I'm in state
reinstating the bonuses
by the way
such an underrated actor
Brian Donovan
Brian Donovan
oh my god
I got to work with him
one time
really
on Children's Hospital
he's the best
did you ever do that show
no
I love Children's Hospital
you remember it though
right
yeah absolutely
I did a scene
where I was a I was a figment of their imagination.
I was a leprechaun who was dying in bed.
A leprechaun, huh?
For you?
Yeah.
It was going to me or Bobby Lee.
Right.
But I'm dying in bed like Seamus O'Baggy Pants or something.
And Brian Dolmori was in this.
And I was very young in the group and
i was so fucking nervous man yeah and he walked by and uh he said how you doing kid and i was like
oh pretty good i'm from chicago it was like the first like yeah you know what i mean because i
was like i wanted some sort of he's like oh man cubs guy i say yeah and he goes wonderful and
then he walked away and for me i was like that's good we're best friends that's all i need yeah best friends yeah me and uh bdm we're just homies now yeah he's a he's a great actor he's got like that thing
where he just does small things but he does them very well there's some scene i think it's a
vacation or one of the vacations where he's playing like a guy who works at some sort of like a rv
park or something he's eating a watermelon oh yeah yeah yeah and I watch that scene over and over again
because it's just his physical
the way he's physicalizing
like
yeah putting out the seeds
yeah
just
like what the fuck
even him in Caddyshack
people don't even know
that that was him
that was Lou
in the caddy room
because he looks so different
yeah
he's Lou
that's the
I haven't watched that movie
in a long time
oh my god
it's so good
but it's so funny
to think how
like that to me
is where I always dreamed
one day I could get to
where you can pop in
and do small
cool roles
yeah
where you get to
you know
where you get to do
good character stuff
I get to
I feel pretty lucky with that
well you're good at it
so it's worth it
so you're shooting now
no touring
I got some dates
in the distance
plug them right now
yeah I think I'll be
in New York
doing Minnesota
Reggae Colostomy bag
I think July
17th
at the Soho Playhouse
ooh beautiful
yeah
and then I got some dates
in the Midwest
in September
like Minneapolis
Milwaukee
I think in
maybe Eau Claire
I'm not really sure
where those are
but those are
far away
you can all find them
on the website though
or on Instagram.
Johnny Pemberton.
Johnny Pemberton dot dog.
Dot D-O-G.
Yeah.
I really love Minnesota.
Shout out to Minnesota.
Last time we were there,
we had a great time.
And some of the,
I thought taping my next special,
that might be one of the cities.
I put it in my rotation
of one of the,
what was the theater
we played in Minnesota?
Parkway?
State Theater.
State Theater.
Loved it.
You know what?
I feel the same way
about Chicago.
I love Chicago too. It's just such a big fucking market. That, it. You know what? I feel the same way about Chicago. I love Chicago, too.
It's just such a big fucking market.
That, I don't know.
Something about Minnesota feels pretty good.
Well, I think it's probably because it's close to what you know, but it's not the same.
Correct.
That's why I truly love Chicago.
I tried to live there after college.
I wanted so badly to move there.
Where'd you go to college, by the way?
I went to Florida State. You're a Knoll dude. I'm a Knoll. You're a Knolly dude. I wanted so badly to move there. What did you do in college, by the way? I went to Florida State.
You're an old dude. I'm an old. You're an
only dude. I'm an only. I'm an older.
Go Noles, baby. Go Noles.
I did not know you were a Florida State guy.
You and Bert Kreischer. Yeah.
Well, he's how old? He's older than me.
You wouldn't cross over, although he was there
for nine years. He was, but I don't think
I think we just probably just miss each other.
Yeah, 42. I think he's like 53, 54.
How old is he now?
51.
51.
He put him in close, though.
Yeah, but I think we miss.
I don't know.
I think you said seven years.
I think that's what it said.
Yeah.
Something like that.
It's a long time.
So an old guy, then you try to live in Chicago.
I wanted to because I wanted to take classes at Second City.
Yeah.
That's what I wanted to do.
I had a plan for it and everything.
I was playing in a band.
They all moved to Chicago.
So I was really into indie rock back then.
No band life anymore?
No.
Never again?
I would do it.
I don't know.
What did you play in the band?
I played bass.
Actually, I played drums in this band.
I played drums in this band, but I played bass.
Damn, multi-talented.
Johnny Pemberton.
I know bass way better than drums.
My drumming is competent. I can just do basic rock drums, but I played bass damn multi talented Johnny Pemberton I know bass way better than drums my drumming is like
competent
like I can just do
basic rock drums
but I played bass
for a long time
like I was like
do you still play today

playing bass by yourself
is not fun
who cares

i was always like shut up it's also a keyboard it's not a real's not a real thing. Yeah, he did it on a keyboard.
I remember watching.
It's disappointing.
PBS, I think, one time did the behind the scenes of it.
They did?
Yeah, they made it seem like it was so like...
Seinfeld, America's beloved comedy show.
Yeah.
I love the voice they use for that.
It's always like the guy from 60 Minutes
talking to someone funny,
but it's like,
it's been delighting audiences for decades.
Now we're going gonna take a peek in
billy crystal's real life this is the car that billy drives the set every day and then it comes
