But there's a bunch of new comics on switching to year but Hulu is I can't say the names I'm sorry but there's a bunch of new comics on switching to Amazon yeah no I met

with them too and I heard the names I was like man they did they did good we all left isn't that weird why did everyone leave where there was other opportunities out there because you know Netflix is great but you know you it's like you feel it's a close you feel like a sports free agent you're like I'm gonna test the market see if anyone else likes me. Why not? Other people like us. Yeah, other people like us.

I'm going to go play for another team. Netflix is like, it's almost like, do you want to come over and just go down on me? That's their vibe? Yeah, you're like, do I get to come? And they're like, no. I mean, you get to enjoy me coming? That's what it feels like. That's exactly what it feels like.

So yeah, no, look, they're also putting out a ton. I don't think they're losing sleep over losing us. No, no, they don't care. They don't care at all, which is fine. Yeah. It is what it is, but we're moving on. But go watch it right now on MSN. Yeah.

Congratulations. That's huge. I'm pumped, yeah. Speaking of teams and switching, I'm sorry about the next. That's all right. No, no, I know it hurts. It hurts bad. I saw you guys at the games.

Look, everybody, I don't care if you're a sports fan or not, listen to the pod. Everyone was rooting for New York. It was just like, it's nice when New York. Not according to my fucking mentions on Twitter. Jesus Christ. I feel like Philly. That's trolling. I feel like Philly docs.

They're like trying to docs me. They're like, where does this fucker live? Philly fans are menaces, man. Yeah, they're evil. They're hilarious. live philly fans are are menaces yeah they're evil they're hilarious i'm like the shit i'm getting and uh in the indie after philly was like nothing yeah indie twitter they're like angry but they're like more angry like why doesn't anyone pay attention to us well they're going to church on sunday you know i mean like after a loss they'll go pray it away and they don't care that's a different kind of anger philly is real hatred

real vitriol, which is why I actually love that city because they're like, they give so much of a fuck. It's crazy. They're animals, these people. I really like them. I was game two.

I was courtside for the game where Dante hit the shot that won the game for us before the Hardenstein block. And holy shit, that was epic. To be courtside for that, second I leave, Shane Gillis is texting me,

like, you motherfucker. They fouled him. They fouled, it's like funny, you see like an ugly side, because I'm like, okay, but then of course I'm that guy in game five, I'm like, there was a foul, you know? You turn into that guy so easily,

but yeah, he was fuming. Well, who, okay, tell me, let's call him out right now, because I know you're a diehard, you are actually a diehard Knicks fan. You see a lot of guys in New York pop out of the woodwork that became Knicks fans. Did you see anybody that you were like, when did you start liking the fucking Knicks and you're coming around a little bit, huh? As long as they don't act like they've been there the whole time, I don't care.

Because you see people on the internet, I'm like, this guy's a Knicks fan. I didn't know that this was... Well, you said before, you like people like kind of adopted the knicks because they're such a fun team it is because i don't think anyone expected them to be this awesome like no one's any of these guys brunson fucking people thought they would do good have a good season but i don't think anybody thought they were going to go as far as they went but now but now we're kind of like oh shit they would have gone further if it wasn't for everyone being injured so yeah next year i'm pumped uh i love i love the whole squad they just got to bring everyone back all right by the time this episode comes out who knows because this will be coming out when your special is out yeah uh

boston they're good man i don't know i think so dude i know i hope so i put some money on them did you i do like a fool i put some money on boston just because i feel like it's uh i don't know it's a story that needs to be told the kairi of it all was kind of fascinating to me it's unbelievable he's probably like my favorite guy to watch though he's incredible but it is cool to see this this right this like this uh favorite guy to watch though he's incredible but it is cool to see this this right this like this uh unusual rivalry it's not a rivalry but it has become so because they kind of because there's so many trades now that no matter what no matter who's there they're like he used to play there i know it's wild porzingis everyone switch it's like everyone left where i think that kind

of adds to the element of this the drama of the game. You can't buy a jersey anymore. I know. That could be like your enemy in two months. You don't know how it works. Dude, uh, Boston, it's tough. I taped the special in Boston, cause I'm like, I love the Wilbur, but people were telling me they're like, oh, you taping the fucking enemies. I'm like, do you know how touring works? Yeah. It's a good city. Yeah, what are we talking about? I don't like, I hate the city. I like the people. Boston's probably one of my favorite comedy cities that I've ever, every time I go back there, I'm like, I love them. This is the great, you taped at the wilbur yeah what a choice yeah that's such a great venue yeah you did you did denver last time i did denver last time that's a sick one and this upcoming i don't know if i can well i'll say it it's not locked yet but i'm not shooting it for a while but it's supposed to be in in uh minneapolis that's a good one dude i loved it i

don't know every time i've gone out there they've treated me really well, and I'm doing it in the winter, which is always good for comedy in the Midwest because people are like, let's go out of our house, go watch a show. Booze bags. Dude, that's what I said. If you go to the Midwest in July, they're on the lake. They're nowhere to be found. That is such a tough time to do shows. Every time I go home. They're a great audience, sir. No, they're the best. Midwest're nowhere to be found yeah it's that it's a such a tough time to do shows

every time I go home they're a great audience they're the best Midwest is great Midwest is great so hopefully this will work out I think we're trying to lock this up

and then I'll do that but you taped in at the Wilbur such a great historic venue and people that don't know I mean it's like it's like a comedian's

all comics love the Wilbur you know what's great too there was a guy at a show I did the Wil's great, too? There was a guy at a show. I did the Wilbur last year, too, and there was a guy at the show last time who was heckling me. And he's like, tell me, somehow we get to the story out of him. At the end of the show, I'll do my hour, but then I'll start fucking around. And he was like, last time I was here was for Nick Swardson.

And I was so happy that I did a Terry impression on the train afterwards and some gay guy thought I was making fun of him because he's no Swartzen's character from Reno 911. Yeah, the roller skates? Yeah, so he's doing that impression. Some gay guy thinks he's mocking him. They get into a fight. He beats the shit out of the gay guy.

He goes to prison and he comes out and he's telling the story of my show and I was like, well, did you learn your lesson? He's like, yeah, I'm a better person. I'm like, alright, good. He's at my taping again and he heckles me too. I'm like, I know that voice. I was like, are you the hate crime guy? He's like, I'm the hate crime guy. I'm like, ah, jeez,

he's back. The hate crime guy's back. But he was like, I bettered myself. Of course the thing he yelled out at the end of my taping, I was like, alright, tell me a problem and I'll solve it. And his problem was that he got drunk and pissed on his couch. I'm like, alright, he hasn't gotten that much better. He's better than hate crime. Yeah, no more beating up homosexuals

in the streets, but you're not blacking out and pissing yourself. Such a Boston heckle. I love it. An accidental hate crime is very funny. It's a very curby enthusiasm. You know what I mean? It's like, we didn't know! We didn't know! Larry, if he was Italian.

Yeah. Yeah. No, Boston was... But we were just talking about this before we were rolling. Like, every city is in the toilet now. It's hilarious. You watch on the news and they're like, oh, and the cities are dangerous. And since I was a kid, I'm like, give me a break.

But now I'm like, that's kind of shady in every city. I know. Well, dude, we started it. Chicago, at chicago my hometown started we got worse fast for some reason we got bad so fast and then it started to creep into other major cities where new york forever you know new york is one of those places where i've always felt pretty safe uh you know you know what i mean to an extent to an extent. To an extent, of course. But it's gotten shady. But it's gotten a little shady.

I'm in a nice neighborhood and it's, I went outside just to like write the other day, just to sit outside and there were so many people on drugs who were like aggressive, just going nuts. I'm like, holy, I can't write because I can't focus because I'm just like, I got to keep my guard up a little bit. Just get a little sketched out.

But there's not a lot, you can't be like, do you mind, I'm working on the screenplay. It's a little rude. I know that your life sketched out. But there's not a lot, you can't be like, do you mind? I'm working on the screenplay. It's a little rude. I know that your life's in the toilet, but it's pretty rude that I can't. Look, I don't know what your dad did to you, but I'm doing act three right now.

And it's very important. It's integral to the story. No, did you see the guy? There was a guy in Southern California here on the news. Look up this fucking lunatic, uh, had a mental break.

And this is the first time I've ever heard of this. He was just shooting a traffic. He was standing on the side of the road shooting at traffic yeah just but he had something you know we've all felt that way in la a hundred percent oh my god dude but he was walking along the side of the street just shooting at cars where does this happen was it down south it was in orange county or something but he's you could tell you know something he had a mental crack and he's literally like walking he looks calm he's walked they have you know cctv cameras you know like or whatever and he's just walking along the street near a gas station and then he just stops and he just pulls out a gun and he's just shooting into

trap i mean into and it's it's it is cars going probably 30 40 miles an hour so it's like flow the flow not bumper to bumper so he's shooting at cars as they're zipping by and he killed a guy right he killed a father or something like that? Yeah, it was in South LA. South LA, yeah. Oh my god. And he shot at a bunch of cars, but one hit. And the first ugly thought I had, I was like, how unlucky is that

motherfucker? That, for the timing of a bullet to go through, you know what I mean? The car's flying by. The bullet that got the guy on the thing, I was like, that's, what are the chances? I mean... He was shooting blindly into cars cars it wasn't like he's aiming at all this isn't John wick you know what I mean he's fucking that's brutal there was a guy to that got carjacked the general hospital guy here oh any guy in the shot downtown I know yeah well that's the other thing is like again you

know this about New York we all know this about these major cities there's sometimes places at certain times day you're like I shouldn't be over there again you know this about New York we all know this about these major cities there's sometimes places at certain times day you're like I shouldn't be over there yeah well you would know better a lot of these guys on drugs they're not like I I feel bad for cops man like like oh yeah because how do you deal with these people they're not it's not like they respond they're like zombies yeah they're so drugged out so I saw a guy walk into the coffee shop and there was only one person working I was like let me just hang outside but in the back of my head i'm like what am i going to be able to do nothing there's nothing nothing these dudes all have like the strength of tony montana in the last scene of scarface

we're like you shoot bullets at them you feel like they're not going to go down they're on these like drugs where you're like this is fucking crazy yeah oh it's for a land but also they have literally you know there's an idea that like sometimes people who are in distress have nothing to lose? Those guys have so little to lose. Yeah. They can't wait for you to say the wrong thing where it's like, yeah, say some dumb shit to me. But it's also – this is where corporate kicks in. This is where like the – this is where the corporate – if a guy walks into a Starbucks, that's – they have to take action immediately to protect.

But the mom and pop boutique coffee shops, they have to let that guy go take a shit in the bathroom. Otherwise, you know what I mean? Otherwise they're breaking this like mom and pop. We're cool code. I don't know. Yeah.

Out here. It happens though. You see them walk into these kinds of places at a Starbucks. They'll fuck or a corporate place. They'll shut. They'll kick you the fuck out immediately. Like CBS. That ain't fair for what they're paying them that they have to now be.

I know. No, it sucks. Well, it's CVS has security. You know, like they have security guards now. Yeah, but don't you think COVID kind of killed that? Where like people just started stealing and they're like, yeah, I'm not doing shit.

But isn't that ironic? It's not homeless guys on drugs stealing. Yeah, it's just people. It's just like functioning people. They know they can steal. Yeah, they know they can steal. Yeah, they're just like people with jobs. They're like, I'm taking this.

Fuck this. For the first time. You hear Walmart's not stopping us anymore? They're like, yeah, we should go. That's it. By the way, I went to Costco for the first time. I've never been to Costco in Los Angeles, California. Costco's pretty fun.

Dude, I went for the first time because I was like, we were going to get a TV. And in my mind, back in the day, you would hear people be like, costco has tvs for half the price of the but you know whatever so we go in there and i see a tv i like and i was like hey this is fucking awesome that's really well priced but just because i'm a cynic i was like hold on and i google it the same price of best buy same price like everywhere and i was like ah this isn't a thing anymore the costco didn't costco used to be like you could go get like dope shit for a little bit cheaper because the membership or whatever I never got like a tv or anything there but just getting like I feel like you get like a shitload of muffins for like a cheap yeah but I'm how many muffins do I fucking need well that's the point

it's like you do it buy it in bulk you know that was like one that was an early Sam joke because I was like you know you can't break up with a girl if you go to Costco right after like I want I hate you too but we got a jug of animal crackers we have to finish that was that an early Sam joke because I was like, you know, you can't break up with a girl if you go to Costco right after. Like, I hate you too, but we got a jug of animal crackers we have to finish. That was early Sam. Clean. Trying to get on Letterman, Sam. But, no, I mean, yeah, you get like a big Hellman's mayo thing. That's what it's for. Toilet paper.

See, that scares me. Yeah. Well, it feels like it's built for Mormons. For hoarders. Yeah, Mormon hoarders. Families of like 40. Because it's absurd. When you see people walk out of there with, you 96 rolls of toilet paper you're like i come on man they're the people that everyone hated during covid the people that are like hoarding shit but that's but that it was made it's kind of made for covid no it's perfect

for covid yeah we i found when we moved out i found old coven rat a covid ration spot uh tucked away above our fridge you know like only rations is like prison COVID and the Holocaust that's where you hear that shit the worst and which one was

really the worst Sam? I deny both I don't know I was just watching the new Hitler thing on Netflix it's pretty good wait what is it?

what do you mean? it's a good that's why I don't do Netflix anymore by the way because they're Hitler stuff. That's why. I refuse. You support Hitler Netflix, and I'm sick of it. Wait, it's a docudrama? What's it called?

What is this called? Hitler and the Nazis, Evil on Trial? Yeah, yeah, it was good. Whoa. What was the trial? The bitter comic who's like, they got money for Hitler, but not for I have to go to Amazon? Thanks, Netflix. No, uh, yeah, it's cool. It's a good one. Um, but not for, I have to go to Amazon? Thanks, Netflix. No, uh, yeah, it was, it's like a, it's cool, it's a good one,

um, but... Is it just the insight of a lunatic? It's just like a, it's a docu... Yeah, it's Nuremberg, so they're doing the trials, and then, uh, I mean, it's just hilarious that a guy had to, like, defend the Nazis. There's a guy, like, you think OJ's a bad gig, this guy had to get the Nazis.

You know? But, uh, it's, it's pretty good. It's imagine at his firm They were like and one of our newest hirees is gonna be taking this new case. It's like yes, fuck. Yeah, what is it? It's uh, it's it's Hitler We feel like you've got the skill set and the ability to like, you know They threw it on they threw it that for the guy that was like, i don't i don't think i want to uh well dude you know i don't want to do this we're watching and it's like uh i was watching my girlfriend and she's just like this rise is like very similar to trump and i'm like like can we stop with that yeah i don't mean to be a dick but like you're kind of trivializing the holocaust whenever you compare yeah hitler to trump it's a

little different or trump to hitler rather just just a It's a little different. Or Trump to Hitler, rather. Just a little different. A little different. Yeah, no. I get it. You say shit like, there are certain talking points you say to rile people up. I get that. But once you start comparing Trump. His sensationalism is similar, right?

Of course. His chaotic, not similar to Hitler. I mean, similar to like any kind of wild dictator leader. He has the same sensational ideology. He studies dictators, you can tell. And he talks about Mein Kampf. 100%. He talks about it. But you know, it's a good book.

They say the Bible's the good book. I say Mein Kampf is the good book. But I mean, we're talking about like a narcissist versus like a pure sociopath. There's a difference. Yeah, totally different. Yeah. Trump just- I don't think Trump believes anything.

I think he's just like, yeah, I'll just, yeah, that sounds like good. I'll do that. That works for me. You know? Right. You know what's so funny? If that energy is just directed just one notch differently, it's just a cool guy that goes along with everything.

Right. Do you know what I mean? But his is ego and power, where the other side of it is a guy going, someone in the room, you know, there's always a guy or someone in the room and they're like, oh, what do you want? This is pizza good. And some guy's always like the room you know there's always a guy or someone in the room and they're like oh what do you want this pizza good and some guy's always like yeah it's fine that guy it's a dial away from like yeah i like everything that everybody likes i just want to feel good or trump could go he'll go the other way i feel like he'd be fun for talking shit we

got this pizza sucks he's like worst pizza i've ever had in my life yeah and then a second later you're like that pizza's not bad and you go not bad at all it's actually not bad i don't mind i actually don't mind that pizza he's good in a bachelor party type group. Yeah, 100%. You need a Trump in a bachelor party. Everybody needs a Trump in their crew. Yeah, he's not the same, but he's, you know, he's 77. 77?

Something like that. He's getting up there. But he's a vibrant 77. Yeah, but 77. It's old. I just feel like we have a minimum age. We should have a maximum age. I do feel that.

35 is low, right? Isn't that the lowest age? You can be 35 to be president. Yes. I feel like the ceiling to me, like 65. Past 65, you're like, you're not really in tune with what is coming down the road. And also, it's not going to affect you. By the time the youth in their 20s really get into the thriving part of

the economy and the business world, you're dead. That 65-year-old will not be around in 25 years. The likelihood is extremely low. So it's just kind of like... So you don't really care about the future. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. When you're at that point, what the fuck do you care? Because in 15 to 20 years, that's not going to affect

you. Well, you had the bit about Kamala Harris and Biden. You're like, push him. Push him. What are you waiting for? What could you be waiting for? Yeah. I mean, yeah, they're just so fucking old.

Biden's older than Israel. That sounds like a roast joke. This motherfucker's older than Israel. He's 81? Yeah. 82? And yeah, he was born in 1942. That is if you believe in Israel.

Come right back here. 48. Yeah. Wow, that's crazy. He's 81, right? 81? Yeah. 82? And, yeah, he was born in 1942. That is if you believe in Israel. Come right back here. 48. Yeah. Wow, that's crazy. He's 81, right? 81? Yeah. No, it's just too much.

I do think there should be a ceiling. It should just be a cap. Because then you have enough... I mean, like, look at JFK. He was 40... What, when he became president? I want to say 43? He was young.

He was one of the youngest of all time. Yeah. 43, 44. Because he died at 46 or 47. Yeah, 43. That's crazy young. Yeah. But that's our age. Yeah.

That I feel like is not too young, but I would be so scared to have that kind of power. Like a friend where you're like, you're president? You're president. Yeah. Well, that's how Soder talks about McDaniel, Where he's like, are you coaching a football team? Yeah. Didn't we used to get high in my basement? I'm still that way with my...

I'm like, you're going to have kids? Yeah. I'm still that way with my friends. Yeah. But... They're giving you a kid? But yeah, man. Yeah, I just started listening to this JFK podcast about his assassination.

It's Rob Reiner and Soledad o'brien but it's pretty good actually i love rob reiner yeah oh my god he's the best they're talking what are they are they is it a conspiratorial thing yeah very very conspiratorial and i'm not a big conspiracy theory guy but like that one's like a fucking layup are you kidding yeah there's the two that even if you're not a conspiracy theory like that and epstein are like pretty pretty wide open yeah we see it yeah is you're like oh this uh thisstein are like pretty... Pretty wide open. Yeah, we see it. Yeah, you're like, oh, this lines up. This all kind of lines up.

Well, have you been to where JFK got shot? Have you been there? Yeah, yeah. I used to tell a joke on stage. I used to say, when we went there, me and O'Connor went, me and Chris O'Connor,

and we were a little hungover. We'd gone out the night before and we made it down there. His head hurt too. That's it. In here, we pour whiskey. Hey, I'm going on vacation soon. So many of you are as well because it's the summertime.

Comedy. That's my boy. We went there, and we both stood on the, you could stand right on the X or whatever. Yeah. And we looked up at the book depository, and both of us were like, it's a pretty good shot. He had range. It's a pretty good shot, dude. You got to admit, man.

That was so far away. You're like, that's a pretty good shot. So clearly, when you go there, you're like, this is so coordinated. To be able to do that from that little nook window, in a time, by the way, when the accuracy, you would have to be one of the best shooters in the fucking world. Yeah. Not just some lunatic who's been. You'd have to have some real training.

Oh, come on. You'd have to have. Yeah. This would have to be, you know, this would have to be a layered incident. There's no fucking chance. It's creepy and gross. And also, when you start to learn about all, like, the secret service that were standing down on certain parts of the car when almost always they would be in line of fire. A lot of weird shit happened.

Weird, weird, perfect shit. This nightclub owner, Jack Ruby, just shot Lee Harvey Oswald. It's like a lot of weird stuff had to happen. We were like, does that? And then he claimed he, he's like, well, I did it to spare his wife having to come down for the whole trial. I'm like, I've never heard of a nightclub owner with a heart. This doesn't sound right. None of this is lining up.

He's just a really good guy. Yeah, he runs nightclubs. Yeah, yes, he has underage people in there and gives them drugs. But he's just a solid guy. And then he kind of dies weirdly. Mysteriously, yeah. There's so much weird shit going on. It's all going to bubble up.

And as I said, I'm not the biggest conspiracy guy, but like, holy shit. As you said, so much weird stuff had to line up. For all this to kind of go the way that it went yeah yeah man uh so wait i want to i want to talk to you uh we were talking about the go back real fast i want you to admit because you were saying the the darkness of the cities everyone is like new york is not new york is it's getting a little bad there's some dicey stuff and i and believe me because everybody fights it online. Be like, no, it's not. But it is, though.

Yeah. I think just after COVID, just so many people lost their mind. And then you throw in the drug problem in the country and you're like, yeah, it's a bad cocktail. I'll definitely take walks where I'm like, yeah, I'm fucking, I'm a little on edge here. But you grew up, you didn't ever feel that way when you were young. No, of course not. Yeah, that's kind of wild. I mean, there were definitely people that, try to mug you and stuff.

But it wasn't like, they, like, you could look into their eyes and see a soul. Right, right. I mean, this is like. You see the lights were on. There's some, they really do, it does feel like, I mean, there's, like, a real drug problem in the country. And I don't think anyone gives, I think Mayor Adams just wanted to get elected to, like, meet Beyonce or whatever. Whatever you get to do as mayor. You get to meet Beyonce, yeah.

And I say this as a guy. I did a benefit once, and Mayor Adams was laughing at my jokes. And there's the arrogance of a comedian where you're like, maybe he's a good mayor. Of course. He laughed at my jokes. Yeah. But at the same time, he's not a good mayor. We haven't had a good mayor in so long.

Who are you talking to? You want to go toe-to-toe? We've had the worst run. We've had the worst run of all time. I know. Our political electees tell everyone to stay inside and wear a mask during COVID, and then they go have fucking Michelin star dinners. That was the Gavin Newsom special there.

Dude, that's insane. Our elected officials in California are bananas. We're the worst of the worst. We're the worst of the worst. He's pretty Dude, that's insane. Our elected officials in California are bananas. We're the worst of the worst. We're the worst of the worst. He's pretty brutal, that guy. I mean, that's the thing. You want a politician to have some fucking soul. And they just, I mean, also Mayor Adams has like a six pack.

There's something about a guy who's 60 who's ripped. I'm like, you're not focusing enough on the city. Right. If you have time to be that shredded, I'm sorry. All mayors should be out of shape. All it really took was a guy to be like, you know, I used to be a cop. I can turn this city around. I'm like, have you been anywhere? Like it's fucking bad. I mean, look at San Francisco, look at all these cities that are like, I think some of the best cities in the country. I love San Francisco. So do I. It's a beautiful city.

Yeah. I mean, it's like European feeling. You have these like hills, these views. It's gorgeous. It's beautiful. Great walking city, but same problem as New York. You have a lot of- Sketched out.

I mean, yeah. Do you want a kid running out with like a ball? No. No. It's like a dangerous- Yeah. Well, and also the disparity there is comical. I always say that.

You go to like Russian Hill. I think it's like a dangerous... Yeah, well, and also the disparity there is comical. I always say that. You go to like Russian Hill, and I think it's Russian Hill, and you're talking like 50, literally $50 million homes. Like, I mean, that isn't... Well, that's the thing. It's like they still have their ego. New York and SF, these cities now,

it feels like a college girl that was like really hot as a freshman and then got like kind of fat, and they're like, still got to work for it, dude. I don't know. i don't know i don't know if i still you know the taxes in new york are absurd oh you know the the bills you have to pay there are crazy and they're still like sorry this is how it's gonna be yeah but

we're suckers we stay of course i'm a fucking idiot yeah i i'm telling you like i can't really advocate for the city anymore no and i but i still can't go it's a sickness yeah it's almost like when someone's like is that good what you're eating you're like no but you know what i need the nutrition so i'm gonna fucking eat it's awful it's it is it is we're morgan spurlock and supersize me rest in peace rest in peace all right p the spurly who could have pictured that that guy wouldn't live long after after that movie doctors were like you shouldn't do this. And he's like, I got to. I'll be fine. I'll be fine.

That was a good movie though. It was so good. It was really good. But also then it came out, we talked about this not too long ago on this show that he was

in the throes of his drug and alcohol addiction while he was filming that, which we didn't know until posthumously it kind of came out that he was a

hardcore alcoholic. So part of his number skewing from that was dirty data, data because he was getting blacked out, eating McDonald's. And you're like, well, yeah, dude,

that's not going to help. That's there. There's no control. Oh, there's like, if you're doing an experiment and you're blacking out and also eating McDonald's, the numbers are probably going to get bad.

It's bad. Like, remember that guy in the dock who would eat a Big Mac every day? He's still alive. He's still alive, and he looks way better than Morgan Spurlock. Have you seen this man? There's a guy that's been eating a Big Mac every day since he was, what, like 16 or something like that?

Yeah. And he set the world record. He's still doing it. By the way, you know this is a Midwest guy. I forget where he lives, but God help me. I'm going to guess, like, Appleton, Wisconsin. Yeah, it's got to be something. He's from Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Green Bay. Oh, that's pretty good. I just guessed. Appleton. Wisconsin. Yeah, it's got to be something. He's from Green Bay, Wisconsin. Oh, that's pretty good. I just guessed. Appleton. I've been on those flights. Those are some, they don't let you bring bags on board because of the fucking people. It's too heavy. Yeah.

Oh my God. We don't have enough gas to get up to Appleton, so we're going to have to dump some bags. Dude, that is homegrown Midwest. Wisconsin is, and I fucking love Wisconsin. I love it. Don Gorski. Don Borski. Don Gorski. Don Borski. Yeah. Don Gorski. Don Gorski. I have a Big Mac hamburger every day, and he's had it for how many years? 50 some odd years? No, it's got to be, I mean, it's been- Yeah, it says here on Wikipedia

he's eaten over 34,128. Jesus Christ. Those are the people that the second they have like one salad, they're fucking dead. They die. He goes to the hospital. They're dead. You're riddled with cancer. The Big Macs have been keeping your cancer at bay. The Big Macs have been acting. The Big Macs have been chemo for you. You stopped chemo by stopping Big Macs and now you'll die.

Well, the funny thing about that movie, Supersize Me, is when he got them to do away with the supersize thing. That was like the big victory, but I'm like it's still they can still order like two fries right they're still killing themselves this is my same theory about uh you know when someone's like um uh we're talking about this at baseball

games you know you have to can't order beer after the seventh inning stretch or same thing just drink more yeah that it's boston this the bars close earlier do they seem like healthy people in boston like they just get it all in before the theory doesn't work you're just gonna black out quicker which i think is more dangerous than if you let people drink slower and longer over the course of the night it's a lot easier for them to to temper it off so they won't be as fucked up i always thought that was such a foolish idea i'm like they're either doing that for concessions to close up so they can clean up to get out of there early because there's no chance that there's insurance laws being like you can't serve after a certain

hour because then people are going to be drinking and driving i think that's the sell is like the gap time of getting out of there that makes sense but what are you talking about i had i had six in the first three innings you know you're still fucked up yeah you're still fine it's like what are we talking there's no way that changed like same thing when you go to a Knicks game. You can't order after a certain amount of time. They close down beer floor sales, right? What do they say? We're going to drunk walk? Yeah.

I'm walking. I want you blacking out walking around here. No, there is something about, like, they think they're being healthier, but it's like, who are you helping? I don't, I don't. Well, we don't, because we really don't care, right? As not people, but the government doesn't really give a fuck. They're just – everyone's saving their own ass.

Like we learned yesterday, this is crazy. Don't – look up the number, but don't say anything. How many cigarettes do you think are smoked in a day? Every day around the world. But – oh, geez, I wouldn't even know where to guess. It's an insane guess, but just think about it. You know, you've – what is it? How many billions?

Seven billion people, something like that, right? Aren't we six and a half or something? How many cigarettes do you think are smoked a day? A million. A million cigarettes? Is that crazy high? Crazy low, crazy low. Oh, low, okay.

Crazy amount of cigarettes around the world. Yeah, I guess I didn't factor in China. Let me get a... India, China. Yeah, okay. How about like 10 million? 14 billion cigarettes a day are smoked. Damn.

Look that up. I can't find anything specifically that's saying 14 billion. We did the math on it last night at dinner. Me and Salvo Cano were out to dinner, and we did the math. It said, how many cigarettes are smoked a day globally? And you'll see the number. 14 billion is what we deduced last night after all was said and done and I thought fuck we're in the wrong business oh my god do we got to get into cigarette sales damn if that many people

are still smoking because I mean they don't advertise well so this is what it's on this site it says in 2020 the world consumed about 5.2 trillion cigarettes so in that in the year of 2020 so 5.2 trillion divided by 365 well do the math right there 5.2 trillion divided by 365. Well, do the math right there. 5.2 trillion divided by 365. I think it came out to around 14. You gotta turn your phone sideways for that one. You know how the calculator fucking...

You gotta go sideways. 14.2 billion. I was right. 14.2 billion cigarettes in a day. And it just shook my soul to be like, this is a proven killer. Proven killer. Now, there's no argument about it. No one cares, though. Doesn't matter.

But in 2012, the world consumed 6.25 trillion cigs. So within eight years, it went down by about one trillion. Hey! I feel like young people are vaping. They're not smoking as much. Well, that's what's interesting. I wonder how skewed the numbers are with that. I said that.

I was at the club. Well, I don't know if I should say. Well say whatever. It doesn't matter. It's all legal. But it's like, you know, all the observers at the club now, you know, as we get older, you know, they're all in their 20s and they're young hustlers, all really nice, sweet young kids. And they're all of them waiting for the drink line, and they're all hitting the vape pen. And I mean all of them. I looked down the hallway for a second because I was going to go get a Diet Coke, and six of them were all hitting vape pens. I was like, man, this is like the new revolution. Every young person is doing it. Where I started smoking in my 20s, and when I was working, you had to take a big break to be able to go out and hit a cigarette. The convenience level was so low. Well, New York had the—that's right around when they had the, you got to go out and hit a cigarette the convenience level was so low when new york had the that's like right around when they had the you got to go outside to

have a cigarette right right right because i remember growing up doing clubs even like certain cities still let you smoke oh 100 do you remember that oh yeah dude and no one did but by the way it felt so normal because growing up in chicago there's still a lot of chicago places that kind of let you get away with it if you're a local and it's a and it's a townie bar and it's a you know what i mean it's like no one's gonna say anything a, you know what I mean? It's like, no one's going to say anything. Now, no. But this is 15, 20 years ago.

If you still do it, no one really said shit. There was like an area that like, yeah, they smoke back there. If you don't like it, just don't go back there. It's so funny picturing guys like Jerry Seinfeld

like clean comics and stuff in the 80s just working these rooms covered in smoke. Yeah. Like you just don't picture that, but that was their life. Yeah, that is funny.

What is it? What's with the smoke? And for Zima Zima and add for Zima Who was that? Who is the Zima guy? Who was it? It was uh What come on dude remember the Zima the commercials who was it was it? What comic did Zima ads Roger Cabler? No, no, no, no fuck Holy shit, there was a comedian that did ads for do you remember zima zima was like a seltzer alcohol lemonade 100 but it was way before its time it's pretty bad it was so awful it tasted good when you were like 14 yeah

because you were like whoa there's booze in this it tastes like it tastes like soda with booze and then you're like fuck it i want a beer oh you know what i'm thinking of i'm thinking of richard lewis with boku do you remember boku no holy fuck boku was uh we'll put up a picture for the audience boku was uh uh like a fruit flavored i don't even know how to describe it i don't know if it was alcohol beverage or something yeah boku look at those ads for Boku. Oh my God, he's young there. A fruit juice brand in 1990. And it was Minute Maid made it. It was boxed like an adult juice. But Richard Lewis used to do commercials for it.

R.I.P. Richard Lewis. Another fucking legend lost. No, you know, and that's one of those guys where, man, do I wish I... You had him come on here. I just wish I had, because he was... I mean, what a king i think that dude was so fucking he was awesome i dm with him a couple times but i didn't know him really yeah he uh never met in person though no never oh no no i i loved him curb is like he's

legendary on curb i just think his style was so funny and self-deprecatory in a way that you're like you know what some people are self-deprecating but it's also like uplifting? You're like, man, you're really good. I love you. I always feel that. Yeah, like,

those are the guys that make me feel better about life. Yeah. Like, I remember like Rolling Stone had the album like the most depressing album of all time

and it was Leonard Cohen's greatest hits. I'm like, his music makes me feel good. So good. Because it's like, it's self-aware. Yeah. And it'm like, his music makes me feel good. So good. Because it's self-aware. Yeah. And he's not scared of how,

or at least he doesn't act like he's scared of how dark the world is, you know? No, he just knows that it exists. He's just saying the thing that a lot of people are like, I feel that way too. But that's how I feel about any comic. I watch a Richard Pryor special. I'm like, oh, he's just, he's so uh at peace with like you could say like some of this stuff makes him like a cautionary

tale some of this material but he's so at peace with like how fucked up he is that he's able to joke about it right well because at some point i think it's probably so uh detrimental to your uh you know to your mental that you're like well I have to I have to it's either I you know that old cliche it's like either cry or I laugh it's like I might as well laugh about it

when something bad happens aren't you often like once the anger goes away you're like I'm gonna get a bit yeah that does help

almost always you're like I think there's a bit I think this is part of a bit I remember having a meltdown when I was a really young comic and I was like I flew this website called cheapo air I remember having a meltdown when I was a really young comic and I was like I flew this website called Cheapo Air

I was just trying to save money any way I could to go on the road, dumb merch stuff and it was called Cheapo Air because you could do Delta to American on a Connect so you do different airlines but then if you miss the Connect flight you're fucked

no one's responsible so I remember I missed a flight to do this festival in Grand Rapids and I'm asking the guy at the desk and he just he's just a pretty just laughing at me Cuz he's like you idiot and of course now I see I out what a dumbass I am But in the moment you're just like a struggling comic and you're like, please just like help me And he was just started laughing at me. And I go, you fat fuck. I just lost it. And people around me are like, like, once you feel people reaching for their phones, I'm just like, oh, I got to get it together.

This is bad. But then the second, then I had to buy like a coach one way connect for like 600 bucks. And I was like, God damn it. That was all the money you were going to make at the festival, by the way. Yeah, I was fucked. But then once it goes away, you you're like it'll be a bit right and also totally my fault it's almost always your fault when you're my you get really really upset but he didn't have to laugh in my face he could

have been like oh that sucks yeah but very funny that he did it is funny balls on my fucking face cheapo used Cheapo Air. Cut to the podcast sponsors. Cheapo Air. It's a great airline you can do. If you're too broke for Expedia, go to Cheapo Air. They make you in the middle of the flight. You gotta jump out. There's a delta.

You gotta be able to careen into another flight mid-air. We couldn't spring you a parachute. It's Cheapo Air. It's the only website that sounds like they're insulting you. Right. Oh, God. Cheapo air? No flights in cheapo air.

I tried Jew boy air. That was, uh... I got a flight. In here, we pour whiskey. Hey, hey. Today's episode of Whiskey Ginger is brought to you by Rabbit Hole Distillery. Straight from Louisville, Kentucky. These guys are seriously redefining the standards of bourbon.

I've talked about them endlessly on the show. I like this sauce. It's a good sauce. Their motto says it all. No shortcuts, no compromise, nothing left to chance. This means every single tiny detail in their whiskey making process is finely tuned to perfection like a beautiful sports car. Vroom, vroom, baby. It's no wonder their bourbon and rye whiskeys keep racking up the awards.

They do so. They cleaned up the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, pulling in gold and double golds left and right. They're falling from the sky for these guys. Rabbit Hole is great. Here's what really sets them apart, honestly. All bourbon is aged and charred barrels, but every drop of Rabbit Hole is aged and charred and toasted barrels. They double and down. Thick and toasting like a marshmallow.

Drawn out deep, bold, caramelized flavors that make every sip a rich, smooth experience. It truly is a delicious sipping bourbon. They're all about keeping things tight with their small batches, only 15 barrels each. That's how Rabbit Hole ensures every bottle is more than just crafted. It's hand-picked treasure.

What is your, when you brought up Leonard Cohen, it made me think, what's your, like, are you the kind of guy that puts on the music to match your mood or do you offset it? Do you go the opposite?

Like, if you're fucking bummed out, do you put on some shit that's going to probably try to put you in a better mood or you really sink into it? Damn, that's a good, that's a good question. I don't know. I guess I go both ways. Like, yeah, sometimes if I'm like end it? Damn, that's a good, that's a good question. I don't know. I guess I go both ways. Like, yeah, sometimes if I'm like end of the night, it's a lot of mood music. So if I need to get the energy up for like before a show, put something like the Bee Gees on. Ooh.

Or like, or. I would not pick you as a Bee Gees guy. I love the. That's interesting. Bee Gees were Australian, but they felt so New York to me. I mean, I guess Saturday Night Fever helped with that. It's because the disco of New York in that era kind of felt. I fucking love their music dude they're just so cool

it's crazy they're fucking Australian I know everyone that is Australian artist or either musician or performer you almost never think of them as Australian people do it all the time with what's his name

Christian Bale no he's Wales, I think. No, you know who I'm thinking of? God, what's wrong? Mel Gibson? Mel Gibson's not Australian. Yeah, he is. Yeah, but he's lived here for longer, right?

He's like an American. After the Jew stuff, maybe. Maybe he's a real American. We tried to get him deported. That made him a real American. He hates Jews. Gibson's one of us, man. Hugh Jackman. Hugh Jackman.

Yeah. Hugh Jackman. You never really, I'm, every time I see him in interviews, I'm always like, right, right, he's not ours, right? Well, there's something about, like, I was thinking about, like, all those, uh, you know, the Bee Gees. Another good, like, pump-up before show music is Electric Light Orchestra. Oh, yeah,'s the shit.

Fucking. So good. I was going to say Frankie Valli and Michael Jackson. I'm just like, I only listen to people whose balls haven't dropped basically. Just all fucking high voice. Men that sound like women. Yeah. I do love, the men that sound like women, they'll like that fucking, the Greta Van Fleet,

love. I know people say it's like a Zeppelin rip-off, but I mean same thing happens. Young people are turning on Zeppelin now. What? Is that the thing? Yeah, young people like Hayden. I love Zeppelin. Wait, why is the turn happening? I think... After they're all gone? Because of Jimmy Page? Probably the Jimmy Page stuff with the young chicks,

but then also the fact that they stole... What did you do, back in time? You know, the word is that they stole from opening bands and stuff. Yeah. Really? Yeah really yeah wow i don't fucking know i still like their shit but yeah it's i i don't know enough about music like with comedy i could totally be like well that's not true or that yeah they did see i could have a but i don't know enough so i always feel but none of us really do though right we would who would know except for the people that were really there a part of the thing and also okay if somebody accuses them of like ripping riffs or something like that but they certainly

didn't steal outright songs and if they did doesn't it feel like we would know by now it almost feels like you'd see it's harder to know back then yeah because those bands probably disappeared into nothing i mean think about all the music we love that was just like fucking people got fucked oh dude most of it most i mean i would say most particularly if you like stuff from like the uh you know like a like the the soul era that was like the dirtiest era of music in terms of like ripping off those artists and then making no fucking oh hash and the sopranos is like i feel like a big that type of character is the reason why like black people do not like jews well no there's a couple more reasons landlords something like that.

I don't know. Well, they put that on the show, too, the fucking Hasidic landlords. They inserted so much of that shit on that show. They did not make us look good in The Sopranos. In his defense, they didn't make Italians look great, either. No, yeah. It was an even split, to be honest. No, yeah. Oh, yeah, the Hasidic landlord episode.

You just made me remember that. That was hilarious. Yeah, it was so fucking funny. Hilarious. His dad owned it, right? Isn't that what it was? I don't know. That was like an early ep. was like an early app yeah season one or something yeah season one or two you know what's so funny is i was talking to someone else about this i went back and started

re-watching because i and i re-watched twice by a third kind of go around i was like all right well you're done with it well just because tv's so so there's so much really beautifully well shot awesome shit have you seen you're not trying to fucking turn on the Sopranos are you? no no no

I just I think I can't watch it anymore I think I need to put it away maybe you just need a little break I need a break I think TV is like there's a lot of good TV but like

man I always go back to the classic shows just because of how good they are you know yeah I mean the same way with movies I like comedy classic but sometimes drama classic

I see a little corniness because time is so different do you know what I mean the way same way with movies. I like comedy classic, but sometimes drama classic, I see a little corniness because time is so different. Do you know what I mean? The great movies, I think, hold up. The great stuff holds up, I think. It does. I know what you mean. There was definitely some where you rewatched.

There were some moments in Sopranos where I was like, this is fucking pretty corny. It was season one, episode three. Episode three with the Hasidic Motel. That's right, the Hasidic Motel. Shlomo Tittleman. Shlomo Tittleman. Shout out to Shlomo Tittleman, which is actually Samorell's birth name.

It was. Changed it. Gary Goldman always calls me Shlomo. Does he really? Yeah, yeah. He calls me Shmooly, actually. Shmooly? Yeah.

Shmooly's such a good name. Shmooly's a funny one. Where does this come from? Was this just a term of endearment for him? I think you just think that'd be my Hebrew name, Shmooly. I don't think it is. You don't even know what your Hebrew name is? I think it'd be like Shimon or something like that. Shimon?

You could probably look it up. What is it based on? How do you know? It's given, right? It's given? I have no idea. Oh, that's so funny. What a bad Jew. Doesn't even fucking, doesn't even know how it works. It might be Shmuley. Shmuley means his name is God. Oh, fuck yeah. Alright. Do you remember your bar mitzvah or no?

A little bit, yeah. I was like 13. But I mean, like, was it important to you or no? No. No. Because I have a lot of friends. I have too many Jewish friends, if I'm being honest. And they all say it was like such a big integral part of their youth.

But I imagine because you're a performer, those are weird for you. Like, that's a harder thing. I memorized my Haftorah. I didn't even, like, learn Hebrew. You bailed. I can memorize this. Was it important for your mom? Was it, like, a big deal for her?

Yeah, I think so. I think my grandparents were very religious Jews. Like, we'd be in the car, and they'd be playing, like, Hebrew music. And I'd be like, can we get some Zeppelin on? Yeah. And then your grandpa's like, you know, they stole. You're like, all right. Grandpa. so did we yeah we're being honest uh but you know uh no i never i always related it more like you know a guy like culturally like you know uh a guy like leonard

cone or the way like woody allen saw new york That's like how I, you know. That was your lens. That's how I saw it. And no, I saw the way he would, you know, represent New York and how much he loved it. Like there's like a very, there's a lot about like Jews that's very similar to just being a New Yorker. That like constant, just like, can you believe this shit? Like that's how we all talk.

Like, you know, did you hear this happen? Or you complain for like 20 minutes and you're like, good day, though. You know, it's like stuff like that. There's something very Jewish about that. But that's also like the very New York pace where, like, you're in a constant state of irritation, but you're also grateful. Yeah, because it's the best. I do it all the time where I'm just, like, furious all day. And then, like, right before bed, I'll be like, that was a good day I had today.

But I think that's a comics play, too. All day, and then right before bed, I'll be like, that was a good day I had today. But I think that's a comics play, too. Comedians in particular love that kind of vibe of the drama of complaining also feels good. Because it leads to feeling. Yeah, it feels good. Once you're numb and bored and complacent, I feel like the material's dry. So I think being annoyed is actually, I'm actually getting bits. Well, it's engaging right it's like they always say um my

grandfather was obsessed with uh crosswords and word puzzles and uh all that he loved that and numbers and all that stuff and they say uh he didn't know at the time but like it's super super engaging for your brain because it's struggling and it's frustrating and it's like the more that your brain has to like tinker and figure out because we're we're creatures that are really trying to analytically figure out our surroundings and how do we like how do we make way and when you become so easily accessible to food at your doorstep and drugs at your doorstep and you don't have to fucking leave your brain is not engaged you're just slowly dying if it it just goes away it's a good point you feel better like going out and grabbing takeout then you do

Oh, I love going to get it. I want to go I want to feel it I want to go thing yeah, and I have friends that do that fucking do not leave They don't want to they want they just are like nah I'll just get it I have a friend I have to like force out of the house And then he's always like so glad he came out, but he's like he's just one of those dudes He just works too much, and he's not he's like I'm too tired i'm like yeah but this is you're gonna be old before you know it and you're not doing shit with your life but uh you gotta go feel it dude you need to do something gotta go because i also feel like it's man it's so bad for you ever just

not do stuff for a really long time and then you go out and do stuff and your your mind is just like flooded with ideas and you're like oh those have been fucking backlogged yeah just sitting there on the shelf like the levees in katrina just like just comes out you're like, oh those have been fucking backlogged. Yeah, just sitting there on the shelf. It's like the levees in Katrina just like, pfft, just comes out. You're like, holy shit, thoughts, jokes, ideas. George Bush does not care about black people. That will loop in my head for the rest of my life. That was crazy. I remember watching that and my dad being like, hmm. Damn. Live, huh? I was like, live, live.

Mike, Mike Myers face like, guess we're doing this now? Fuck yeah, yeah. Shrek. Sitting next to him is Shrekrek future Shrek being like, uh, please donate What do you say? I mean I just had some stages, huh? Yeah, he's really gone up and down I mean there was that there was there was a Taylor Swift thing. There was uh, that's so weird I don't like Jews. There's been there's been a lot of uh, and now this like He's in this Kind of purgatory right? It's weird. It's like he's public. He of purgatory, right?

It's weird. It's like he's public. He's out. He's living again. But no one's paying much mind. He tried to get into the Kendrick and Drake. And they didn't let him in. Yeah, he did a remix to the first Future and Kendrick song.

And he's like, yo, I got you, Kendrick. And then no one paid him any mind. It's really interesting. It's kind of like he's living in his ultimate hell. And somebody else's would be great because they're like, okay, finally the attention is not on me every day. I'm sick of the criticism. He's so obsessed with the criticism and the attention. This must be hell for him, not getting any love or attention.

Yeah, it's like literally our generation in a nutshell of people that would rather just be posting nonstop and getting hate than just taking a second thinking about it like like no love is worth apathy is is worse than any hate you could get online yeah that's it so that's that that's our generation the key to the generation oh sorry haters like that's how they start like oh sorry if this bothers you that's how you start a tweet it's like maybe you don't have to start shit. I had a guy, this is fucking very for you. I had a guy, I posted just a picture of me and a friend at a pizza place in New York. And this guy writes underneath, Chicago pizza's better. Fuck you, fight me.

I'm like, I can't just have the pizza I like? Fine, where? Yeah. But that's become a way for someone to scratch this weird itch. Yeah. That's all it is. It's just scratching an itch. Well, it's addictive.

I think they get a dopamine rush. Yeah, it feels good. Fuck Sam. Yeah, and then they're like, all right, back to my job. You know what I mean? They get a minute of fuck you. Yeah, it's like attention. I guess we just found a way to like attention, good bad is better than no attention and it's like sadly sadly but and then but so weird with kanye it's weird when it's

a guy who is this gifted creator real guy who really can make incredible music it's weird when but we don't know what's going on mentally with him like there's there's some shit going on mentally with him. Like, there's some shit going on. Like, he probably needs some sort of prescription. Help? Yeah. Any kind of help? He's gone down a dark path. That kid just seems like... Imagine splitting custody with that guy.

That's got to be stressful. Like, you watch the movie Kramer vs. Kramer, you're like, this is fucking... This is heaven compared to... It's a cakewalk. ...what Kim Kardashian's got to deal with every fucking week. Kardashian West, the battle, the struggle.

By the way, they're making that show right now. This month on Hulu, splitting time. Like it's a sitcom. Yeah. Mom, dad's yelling about the Jews again. I just looked it up. There was a show. I forgot.

It only went one episode in BBC, but it was like a Hitler sitcom. No way. Hitler was a neighbor of some Jews. I thought that was a joke. That wasn't a bit? It made it like an episode. I can't believe it made it an episode. But like...

I thought it was a bit. Well, you've seen... Think about the shit we've pitched that they've passed on. And they got that. Somehow that made it through. Heil, honey, I'm home. Heil, honey, I'm home!

No way. Now you hear it, it's kind of funny. That's very funny. Heil, honey, I'm home. Yeah, they made eight episodes, but seven's kind of funny. That's very funny. Heil, honey, I'm home. Yeah, they made eight episodes, but seven went unaired. I wonder if you could find them anywhere. They're in some vault in BB. Actually, no, they're historically really bad at backing up.

Like, even like a hundred or so Doctor Who episodes are permanently lost because they usually just re-tape over. Yeah, they would tape over old tape. I've heard this story. We are at preserving media in the States. They're even worse. Yeah. That's incredible. And that's why we left you couldn't preserve media could you britain but look i mean

you but then you also think about it you're like i mean people probably thought mel brooks was crazy to do the producers you're doing springtime for hitler is fucking insane but he stuck the landing on it because it's it's amazing yeah but it's made by a Jew, so that's different too. Was that made by a Jew? Who was that? Who made Heil Honey, I'm Home? Jeff Atkinson? I do not think so. Didn't grow up in a lot of Atkinsons, did you?

Any relation to Rowan Atkinson? Maybe, right? Yeah, maybe then. That's actually true. But there's a way that you could look at, like, Springtime for Hitler, there's no way you could interpret that as anything other than the most silly, ridiculous, like, no Nazi would be like that.

But I could see a Nazi potentially being like, oh, look it, he's kind of a silly, funny guy. Like, Springtime for Hitler is so ridiculous. You could say the same thing for Taika Waititi's movie. Why can't I think of the name of that movie? Oh, yeah, it was Jojo Rabbit. Jojo Rabbit, right. I really liked that. I did, too, Jojo Rabbit. Jojo Rabbit, right. I really liked that. I did too, but you could say the same thing about it.

That it's a little, it's laughing at, but there are parts of it that are so kind of surreal that you're like, yeah, this is a little supportive in a strange way. It makes you kind of go, Hitler's kind of fun on this show. But it's different than like an American History X. Like some neo-Nazis love American history x or other movies because they're like even though the text is is anti-nazi they're still like looking they're beating up these guys well that's always gonna

happen for sure but like no nazi would ever watch the producers and be like hell yeah i don't know man that's ridiculous that's how america works though right right? Like, the idea that we... I think we talked about this one time. The idea that most, like, in the 90s world, like, gangster's favorite movie, you'd walk into anybody's... And a Scarface poster would be on their wall. And the irony that they didn't understand,

that was such a fucking cautionary tale. Didn't end well for that guy. The point was, this is how it all goes down. It ends very badly he killed his best friend yes and then he fucked this guy's wife and then he and basically killed himself and he basically killed himself and but people were like that was glorified in gangster culture like scarface man the fucking man you're like that's the worst version no that's the opposite that's what i mean so sometimes we embrace it when it's so bad it's not now the most offensive part is pacino's accent in that movie it's pretty

bad it's pretty rough it's pretty bad i love pacino but holy shit that's a weird uh that's well looking back on all his stuff like heat is crazy like those choices and heat were fucking weird yeah very good when you see it now you you're like, I can't believe there wasn't someone behind the camera like, okay. Yeah, sure. Do it. Fuck it. He just recently claimed he wasn't on coke for anything.

Yeah, that's what they say. Really? Yeah, like literally this week. That's what they say. I don't buy that. But that would make his choices even crazier if he was doing that not on coke. Maybe that's why his dick still works at 83. How do you not?

He knocked, right? He just had a kid? Knocked up like a 30-year-old. Good for you, dude. At 83? Good for you. He's not going to be around. That's my presidential theory.

He's not going to see it through. It doesn't fucking matter. That kid will barely get through elementary school. He's out. I always think of Rock's bit about De Niro doing that and Rock being like, I'm done. I'm not doing it again in my 70s. I'm not going to watch Hannah Montana again. That's such a great bit.

That's such a great bit. But yeah, it's fucking weird, man. It's strange, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've never done coke in my life. No, dude. You know what's so funny? I've never tried it once.

Well, that's only because my dad was an addict. So for me, that was like the biggest, like, no fucking way. But I did a lot of other drugs, unfortunately. Or fortunately. It was very fun. But coke was always the scary one i had a high school coach that was like len bias daryl all these like heart attack yeah all these guys who just died and he like got in my head terrified me then i knew a kid who

fucking killed himself on coke and i'm like all right maybe that gave him the confidence to jump out of a 30-story window and i was like i shouldn't touch this probably so it was just ingrained in my head but yeah also now can you imagine doing fucking coke now? Fentanyl? I guess they have testers, but wouldn't you be testers? I call them the openers on the road. But they have like a machine that can test it. Hey, Vitor, you try the coke.

Gary, go for it. Take a bump and let me know. But I feel like that's... No, that's a scary one. It's one that's... Also, for me, all my life, when we were young, if someone was like, hey, man, so-and-so is going to have coke,

and it's like, I can't afford coke? Yeah. What the fuck is wrong with you guys? I'm so broke, I can't afford fucking... Coke was like such a... Weed was expensive back then. Yeah, yeah. So I'm like, I'm not going...

But you're buying it illegally, you know you're getting fucked. Oh, you're absolutely getting fucked. Now, legally, you're probably like, all right, well, this is the legal amount. Well, you're getting fucked still, but different. You know it illegally, you know you're getting fucked. Oh, you're absolutely getting fucked. Now, legally, you're probably like, all right, well, this is the legal amount. Well, you're getting fucked still, but different. You know what I mean? Now you're getting fucked by a corporation.

Or before, you were just getting fucked by a guy who drove a Camaro. That was just a tougher. Yeah, the most dangerous part of smoking weed growing up was getting into a stranger's car. It wasn't the weed. Uh-uh. It was just like, we're going through Central Park. I hope I make it out of here. And having to have a conversation with that guy.

Washington Square Park, wherever, yeah. Yeah, sitting for a little bit too long in someone's apartment. When you're like, all right Park. I hope I make it out of here. And having a conversation with that guy. Washington Square Park, wherever, yeah. Yeah, sitting for a little bit too long in someone's apartment. When you're like, all right, man, I got to get out of here. No, no, let's smoke one more before you go. And you're like, fuck. Yeah. I have to chat with this guy for another 35 minutes. I really want to go home.

And then I would make up an excuse. I'd be like, fuck, shit, I'm late to pick up. And they're like, oh, really? And he's like, shit, I'm so sorry, dude. I got to go. Yeah, I'm 15. I'm in an apartment with a bunch of 40 year olds playing tony hawk you're like holy shit maybe i shouldn't smoke i don't want to end up like this like somebody's got to change that main
