This episode of Whiskey Ginger is brought to you by Rabbit Hole Distillery and their one-of-a-kind Kentucky bourbon and rye whiskeys.
I've been talking about these guys for a long time now, and I've been drinking Cave Hill.
This is my favorite of the expressions lately.
They got four different delicious expressions, but Cave Hill, their Kentucky Stray Bourbon is some of my favorite sauce I've had.
It's the four-grain triple malt bourbon.
This is Rabbit Hole's original. This is the OG.
The four grains in this mash bill include corn, malted honey malted berry and malted barley all coming together to make a smooth perfect hint
of spice right on the tongue they got orange and honey and mint in there to fill it off
your palate it's so good they also have the high rye double malt bourbon uh the boxer grill sour
mash rye and of course the derringer which is their sherry finished bourbon it is delicious
it's finished in sherry casks it's so good no matter what you get from these guys uh you're gonna get
something delicious because i gotta tell you a lot of people say small batch they're actually
small batch small batch for the other guys can be a thousand barrels they're 15 barrels one five
that's all that is the quality is going to be there in every single bottle i've had a few of
you uh tweeted me and say, These guys, every single one of Rabbit Hole's expressions is aged in both charred and toasted barrels at a low entry point and never chill filtered just like it should be.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Ginger.
My guest today is one of my favorite people on earth.
I say that for all my guests, but I mean it once again today.
It's the return of one of my favorite humans to ever grace my presence and to be an actual friend it's janice poppins jan pop
in the house what's up cheers to you just got in from new york literally well austin well you are
by way of new york city you went to austin to go see saint rogie that's no i just went to austin to
um to do with my jazz band. Are you playing jazz again? Yeah.
I didn't know you had that talent.
You know what I do a lot? I do on set when I'm bored to the sound guy.
I'll do-
Now, what do you want now?
What kind of, are you doing regular,
have you been able to transition to legitimate films?
I have transitioned.
Let me show you.
I'm doing, I'm doing a third season of Dave on FX and Hulu.
Oh, that's right.
With a Jewish guy.
Kanye would hate our whole production team.
There's not a lot of them.
Really?
You found one on this show?
Yeah, we got one, baby.
Kanye showed up to set.
We spit on our whole crew.
But I'm doing Dave.
Season three.
But I do sometimes in the sound guy, I go.
Not a lot of guys can do that.
I think a lot of bored guys can do that.
I'll give it a go.
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
What?
That's incredible.
That was good, right?
Wow.
Yeah, that was a high-pitched horn.
That's my Monday Night Football.
Is that drums?
Yeah.
That's from your child?
Your child taught you how to do that?
Yeah, my child.
All she does is go, Daddy, high five. That's all she child? Your child taught you how to do that? Yeah, my child. All she does is go, daddy high five.
That's all she knows how to do.
She does daddy high five?
I hope she's okay up here.
Oh, no.
No, she's fine.
Did she have to wear a helmet when she came out?
No, but I put one on her.
Just in case.
I just told her.
I said, listen, get prepared for this economy.
We don't make anything in this country anymore.
We don't build anything anymore.
We complain and we force them to give us money by saying, I had it hard.
I have disabilities.
Pay attention to me.
So she's learning early.
I wired up her jaw and everything.
She's got a helmet on.
I mean, I drew giants on it so she doesn't feel so bad.
Right.
But it's a special helmet.
And does she have an underbite?
You have to have an underbite.
I feel like this is part of like, daddy high five.
No, should I pull it out somehow?
Yeah, just punch the top lip.
Just smoke her in the top and let that thing kick out on the bottom.
All right, I will.
What's been going on in New York without me?
You miss me over there?
Not much.
Yeah, no, I mean, things are pretty good.
You know, people are getting shoved in the subways.
I heard, dude, every time I open up the internet, I feel like another attack in the subway which is funny
because i know you don't take the subway no no thank god i make enough to not take the subway
but now is it a financial thing because i know there's a lot of people that make enough money
and they still take the subway what is it really with new york there's a lot of new yorkers that
just love it yeah no those people are just trying to be down to earth or whatever no if there's no
need to take the subway don't do it and I don't even live in the city anymore.
But I do return and I do attack people.
I attacked Ariana Grande's brother.
I do it once in a while like the great Emperor Nero used to do.
He used to dress up with his friends.
And this is true.
He used to go down with a mask on and he would beat up homeless people.
Shut up. That was one of the tamer and he would beat up homeless people. Shut up.
That was one of the tamer things he did.
So I gave it a whirl.
I live in the country now,
but when I sneak into the city,
I attack a random,
and I got lucky,
and I attacked Ariana Grande's brother
who just recently got attacked in New York.
You got him.
I got him.
What now is,
I heard that Chris Redd,
stand-up comedian,
SNL cast member.
Got him too.
That was Shane.
Chicago guy like me.
I heard he got punched in the face on the way down to the cellar.
I got him.
That was a Yon Pop knock.
That was a Yon Pop move right there.
It was a Yon Pop knock to the head.
Yeah.
He's got a soft face.
He folded.
Yeah, he folded.
Ariana Grande's brother, soft face.
Did he get beat up for real?
I don't know.
He got punched right in the kisser.
And nobody knows why by a guy in a security vest,
they surmise it may have something to do
with where he's putting his peen.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
Be careful.
He put his peen, I think,
in a friend's ex
or something like that.
I don't want to gossip,
but I read it.
But you can't do that.
You technically can,
but you shouldn't.
Nah.
Unwritten rules of manhood.
You can't hook up with anybody.
Any one of your friend's exes,
they're off limits. Right. And I don't know if that's a fact.
I just, that was what, that's what the
conjecture was. No, I'm saying, but sidebar.
Can't do that anyway. Regardless if that was what
happened with them. It's what they call MTV
guy code. Guy code.
Welcome back. Yeah, you can't do it.
It is true. You can't do that.
There's too many people on earth.
You cannot hook up with your buddy's ex.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
If you're willing to lose a friend, look, if he's a shitty friend, fine.
Fuck him.
But what if it's like love?
What if it's like true love?
Not a real thing.
No?
No.
What's real love?
What is that?
Yeah, that's real love.
Disney.
Yeah, that's the-
Disney did that.
Yeah, that's the fake love.
That's all fake.
I thought about that because we were-
I was joking about the mouse
because we work for the mouse.
ABC is the mouse.
They own everything now
and they own Hulu and FX
and we effectively work for them
for what it's worth.
Let's stop it right there.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, we don't want to-
Disney, that's what we'll call it.
I know, the Diz, the Diz.
We're not going to say it's just Disney.
But it's so funny
to think that like
you know you get
like we still doing
the COVID testing thing
all the time
and all that shit
and there's all these
you know stipulations
that the union
is trying to get rid of
and blah blah blah
but I kind of got
in a light discussion
with someone
about how it's like
it's so funny
that you know
when we're up
and we're shooting
don't worry about it
but then as soon as
you're not shooting
like you put on the mask
you put on the mask I'm like how come I just did a 30 minute take face to face with somebody it was
like that's fine because the money is up when the money is up then they don't care but then i was
kidding around about how like what would disney do you know you get sick anyway it's not like they
give a shit we're gonna send you like a a goofy phone call like i heard you got covid yeah i heard your dad died
they're still doing that huh yeah we're still playing the game oh i heard your mom got real
sick sorry your mom died you get two free park passes no it's just there yeah we're still playing
the game because um california la isn't the city doesn't have the rules but the
but corporations
dude they're
they're scared about getting sued
and it's so weird
it's like
we're all playing the game
and doing the right thing
but
it's like
what do you want me to do
I don't know
what do you want me to do
yeah
what can you
I don't know
what you want me to do
and actually Fran Drescher
gotten a lot of
she got a lot of criticism
because she's the SAG president
the union president
and she publicly was like
I want to see if there's a way
to get people money
that lost jobs
because they weren't
able to get vaccinated
whether it was a personal choice
or a medical
or a religious decision
people got all mad
and I was like
good for her
she's standing up for
people lost a lot of money
because they were like
I don't want to get vaxxed
or I can't get vaxxed
and they couldn't work
and then people and then companies were like especially out here
they're like well you're fired yeah so she's trying to do the right thing which is funny and
of course everybody is like shame on you fran yeah what do you mean people need to work yeah
and they just never considered the vaccine that i mean the a previous infection like
equivalent to a vaccine which is what they should have done. Yeah, we all got clipped
by the way.
Yeah, so if you got clipped,
I mean, it's like
that's the equivalent to a vaccine
so then that should have been fine.
And there's still not
a good explanation
of why that wasn't.
There never will be.
We'll look back in 50 years.
You and I will be sitting
on a porch having some whiskey.
We'll laugh about how crazy it was.
Yeah.
But the world is going
to be collapsed by then.
I cannot wait for this recession, baby.

It's around the corner.

150.
150 Christians.
Well, I wouldn't have it any other way, boy.

Well, I jerked off three times in a hotel last night, so I'm even lower.
Did you save it?
No, I didn't save it.
I usually do save it.
I drink it, but.
I read an article.
Were you Gwyneth Paltrow or whatever?
What's a girl who used to smell her own vagina farts or whatever that was?
Was that her?
Was she smelling them or was she drinking it?
She was like huffing her puss farts or something?
I think she squatted on like one of those lemon juice.
Candles.
Oh, that's it.
She had pussy candles.
Oh, she made pussy candles, yeah.
Yeah, whatever.
And another one was just squatting on it
and juicing it like an orange.
Love that.

Or they put you down.
They just put you down.
Yeah, I think they just put you down Texas style.

It's changed, yeah.
This is LA.
It's like a shitty LA.
Yeah, it's like Republican Hollywood.
Bleh.
Yeah.
It's sort of like a mixture of San Francisco and Los Angeles.
But then when you go out a little bit,
you see some of those leather-faced houses.
When it's Texas, Texas, you see the chainsaws swinging in the trees.
No garage, just a tarp over the top of the car, like held up by sticks.
That old blue tarp.
Have you ever thought about what your alternative life is?
Because I believe that we're existing in other lives.
Yeah.
What is yours?
Are you a country bumpkin in another life?
Because you're an uppity city boy.
I'm definitely a girl in another life.
You're a lady friend.
I'm definitely a lady.
Are you short?
I'm positive.
Because sometimes I'll get a, there'll be like a vision, a tunnel vision through to
the other side.
And it usually happens when I'm getting fucked in another universe.
And I feel it.
And I'm like, wow.
You feel a little pussy against that?
I feel filled up.
Yeah, I feel filled up.
So you think you might be a lady.
Are you fat?
Are you beautiful?
Are you skinny?
Are you tall?
Are you short?
I think I'm forgettable.
Oh, you're a normal.
I think I'm a norm.
You're just a, you're a basic bitch.
I'm a basic bitch.
Are you a blonde-headed girl?
Are you a brunette?
I'm a little more brunette.
Yeah.

Alternate universe Chinese kids

Yeah
What do I
What's my
What's my alternative Sometimes when I'm Do do I, what's my alternative?
Sometimes when I'm-
Do you have red hair in the alternative?
I hope not.
Good God, you can't get cursed twice in this fucking life.
It's not a curse, it's fucking great.
And you're a handsome ginge.
Well, congrats.
Yeah, usually the ginges aren't as good looking as you.
I've said this before, I'll say it again.
95% of men who are redheaded are hideous creatures, repulsive looking guys.
5% not bad.
Yeah.
5%.
With women, opposite.
I think most redheaded women seem to be very good looking.
There's like a lot of beautiful redheaded women.
You see a couple of hagglers in there.
I agree.
But for the men, boy, oh boy, it's mostly just unfortunate.
It's usually off the mark.
It's bad.
And I think it's, well, because the genes are fucked up here, so they, it's just they
get scrambled eggs in the face as well.
Yeah.
And I got lucky.
My mom's a pretty lady.
My old man was handsome.
So I'm somewhere in the middle.
I'll take it.
I've always said, you know your number, don't you?
And you have no frecks.
I got a couple frecks, but not as many as you'd think. Yeah. But I know my number. I'll take it. I've always said you know your number, don't you? And you have no frecks. I got a couple frecks, but not as many as you'd think.
Yeah.
But I know my number.
I'm a seven.
I'm a good old seven.
What do you think you are out of ten?
I'd go a little higher.
No, you're tall.
You're tall.
That helps.
Good head of hair.
That helps.
But still seven.
Seven.
Eight is reserved for...
What are you?
What am I?
Yeah.
6.6.
I'm like a Dave Portnoy pizza score.
Okay, we're out here, Brookline, Mass.
Yeah.
We're at Fuzzy's Pizzeria.
I'm a Neapolitan pizza for him.
I'm in the sixes.
Oh, you are.
I'm pepperoni.
Yeah.
But you know what bums me out about that whole thing, by the way?
One bite is bullshit.
He takes a lot of bites. One bite is a bullshit idea. Yeah. But you know what bums me out about that whole thing, by the way? One bite is bullshit. He takes a lot of bites.
One bite is a bullshit idea.
Yeah.
You can't have one bite and understand what something is.
No.
You'd have to have multiple bites to really let it ruminate and understand how.
Well, he takes multiple bites, and sometimes he'll add one on a woman.
Oh!
That was a good one I gotta say
That was very good
You're very good
You
Very good
Hey are you gonna see
Your other
He says that to the girls
One bite you know the rules
One bite
He takes a few
You know the bite
Are you gonna visit
Your other Greek freak
While you're here
Stavros
Oh Stamos
Stamos
Yeah
Is Stavi here
No
He was here not too long ago
Yeah You gonna go see Stamis Yeah I think we might Yeah I think I might Hook up with him Oh, Stamos. Stamos. Yeah. Is Davi here? No. He was here not too long ago. Yeah.
You going to go see Stamos?
Yeah, I think we might.
Yeah, I think I might hook up with him.
You don't have a choice.
I don't have a choice when I come out here.
I'm like, yeah, I'll just be like, I'm coming out here.
He's like, come over, we're making pizzas.
I don't know why I'm fascinated with that relationship.
It's also because I think we've known him since we were kids, in my mind, as a public person.
Yeah, well, it's weird because my ex-girlfriend was obsessed with her and she's got a whole
shtick about him.
And then she broke up with me and now I'm like really good friends with him.
So I won.
Who won, bitch?
Yeah, I won.
And then you're here and then you go back to New York and are you touring?
Are you going to tour or no?
Yeah, I'm touring heavy.
You are?
I'm touring heavy.
I'm heavy.
Like the red wave that didn't come.
Did not come. That wave turned into just a light ripple, didn't it? I'm torn heavy. I'm heavy. Like the red wave. That didn't come. Did not come.
That wave turned into just a light ripple, didn't it?
It was just a spotting.
Yeah.
It was just spotting.
Well, I got to tell you, it surprised me how...
Actually, it didn't surprise me.
It was pretty on par how boring all that turned out to be.
I thought something was going to happen.
I kind of felt like, ooh, midterms.
This might be something wild.
Nothing happened.
Nothing happened.
Nothing fucking happened.
Well, what happened was the Dems came strong.
Yeah, but I mean, also, I don't think anything...
Nothing's going to change anyway.
I think everything's going to kind of stay the course.
Well, Trumpy's running.
I don't think so.
Well, he announced a couple weeks ago.
I know, but you know what I mean.
I still think this is all a ruse for him to get back in the public eye because he wants his – whatever his fucking Twitter app that he's invented.
What's it called?
He's got a social media – a right-wing –
Truth Social.
Truth, yeah.
I think it's Truth Social.
These guys just want to bring more press to their shit.
Yeah.
That's how I've always felt that I'm like, this isn't – Trump's not going to run again.
Well, yeah, I don't think he's got to – it looks like all the candidates that he endorsed, they came up short.
Yeah, and all the Republicans hate him anyway.
Yeah, he's kind of like Denzel at the end of Training Day.
Oh, yeah, they're all against you now.
Yeah, he's like standing there and he's yelling.
That's so good.
Yeah, he's kind of like Denzel at the end of Training Day.
You motherfuckers ain't with me!
And they all slowly disappear.
And they're just pushing the gun.
You got to fight your own battles, man.
Yeah, and then they fuck
yeah that's what a good scene
yeah
Jakey
why can't I think of that actor's name now
Ethan Hawke
Ethan Hawke
one of my favorite actors too
god he's so good
I love him
when he makes him smoke wet
you know in the car
yeah
and he's tripping
yeah
it's
they
of all the times I've seen drug use
in film
look
whack
that was one that I was like this kind of is what
it feels like you fade in and out of consciousness when you when you when you get too high on any
kind of substance you're they showed him fading in and out kind of receiving messages but not
adhering to them not understanding how to like be i was like this is kind of a the best version of
i'm too high to function have you ever smoked crack like that? No, I've never smoked crack.
But I mean, like if I'm on something heavy,
if I'm on heavy psychedelics or something,
you're kind of not, you're with it,
but you're not really with it when you're tripping really hard.
Did that start when you moved to LA
or is that what the Chicago boys did?
I think I did the most amount of drugs
not in outside, not here.

Hey, are you looking to design a website?
Well, I have
the solution. It's Squarespace.
I've talked to you guys for quite a long time about Squarespace on this show.
And I got to tell you, the reason I love Squarespace so much is because I'm not good at designing stuff.
I'm terrible.
You should see my house.
It's sad.
I have to pay other people to do it.
But with Squarespace, you can do it yourself with the comfort of the product that they've provided.
They have these beautiful templates, or you can go rogue and do it completely on your own.
But what Squarespace has done that other companies don't do,
they have these member areas
that you can fit things around to your brand,
specific to you to unlock a new revenue stream
from whatever it is you're selling,
or if you're just showcasing stuff.
If you're providing a service,
they have appointment scheduling
built right in for your classes or your sessions built right into your website. Clients can easily use this to,
you know, find out your availability to reschedule. And it's already built in,
which is so incredible. They got a video studio. So if you're looking to make,
you know, pro style videos effortlessly, they've got the Squarespace video studio app that helps
you make, share engaging videos to tell your story and grow your audience and drive those
sales or just put the content out.
They got email campaigns which is used for comics.
We have to find out where all you guys are coming
from and blast out when we're coming to your town.
And they have the built-in analytics that
are going to help measure the impact of every
single time they're sent out. And with
this, the analytics, which is my favorite, you can help
grow your business. So
you can learn where the site visits and clicks are coming from and all that traffic. So I know where I'm going on tour,
like when I go to Boston for New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve, Eve, come see me, Boston.
Use these insights to help grow your business and expand. And you can connect all your social
media accounts in one location. It's why I like Squarespace so much. They make it so convenient
for you to place everything in one spot for
everyone to find simply and beautifully. So if you're looking to design a side of your own,

Hey, I've talked about BetterHelp many a times on this show.
I'm a big proponent of mental health help
and mental health awareness as someone that suffers from anxiety
and depression, and you say it with a French accent, of course,

BetterHelp is the best place that I've found in a long time of how to get help from the comfort
of your own home. That's what I kind of love about BetterHelp. You don't have to go to some

Ginger.
I like gingers.
Luke Warm.
It's my name, Luke.
It's Andrew, bitch.
Heat it up.
I don't want Luke Warm on that.
I want Andrew hot.
Idiot.
It's Italian.
It's culture.
You can't really.
That's just a cultural thing in Italian.
I want it to burn my mouth.
Yeah.
A little discipline, like Sean Connery said.
A little smack.
It doesn't hurt anybody.
I'm okay with smacking a woman right on the face.
That guy's insane. Yeah. That was so fucking funny then it was barbara walters it was
barbara walters yeah and she was like do you want to take it back and he was like actually no no i
in fact i reinforce my beliefs about women being less than no but i think i'm strict about some
stuff or i'm i like things a certain way sometimes but i swear i said this to someone else the other
day certain things that used to i think
used to be a thing now i've learned to just be like fuck it dude let it go yeah because i just
look like you like when trump lost the election you finally have just you're up you've let you
accepted it did i leave my trump flag up i did sorry neighbors you know what? In my neighborhood, this was wild. There was a dude.
This guy had a huge Trump flag.
And then across the street, they had the gay pride flag, but it's the other one with all the other shit in it.
And they flew it across the street from each other.
And I was like, how funny is that to be the neighbor of either of those people to just see them like what sipping coffee just watching them pull out by the way and his f-350 and their tesla
you know what i mean like at the exact same time it's just that's that is more la than people know
i think people don't know there's some reds out here there's a ton of them there's a ton of them
i think that people think it's all because the industry is all one way, and you think that's the whole of L.A., but that's not true, man.
That's not true.
It's different than people think.
It's like that everywhere.
There's certain little sort of sub-areas that are red and blue, and they're right next to each other, and they get a little bit of what it feels like to be on the Israeli-Palestinian border.
That's how they must feel.
Gaza.
The Gaza Strip is Ventura Boulevard, whether you like it or not.
I mean, they see each other's flags.
They're right there.
Yeah, they're right next to each other.
They can hear each other's music.
They can throw stuff at each other.
Blum, blum, blum, blum, blum, blum, blum, blum, blum, blum.
By the way, I'm sorry that you had to drive all the way here from Smell AX.
I know that's way too far.
You texted me.
You're like, it's 10 miles, but it's two hours.
It was just the traffic.
But you were in the heart.
You have to know.
I do know this when I travel to New York, too.
I'm not landing near in rush hour.
I'm either in the middle of the day at 2 o'clock, or I'm waiting until the nighttime.
This was worse than usual.
I mean, I'm used to L.A. traffic, especially in Russia, but this was worse than usual.
And I found out why.
Kanye was doing an Israelite speech on the street.
Oh, he was?
On Hollywood Boulevard.
No way.
Yeah, he was out there.
He had the robes on and he was going to read.
And so there was a big crowd.
There was a big crowd?
There was a big crowd, yeah.
I think it's tough to get around that.
I know they block off the streets for that guy.
He's fun right now.
He's hot right now he's hot right i mean we got it somehow we got to figure out a way to put meds
in the in whatever city he's in just put it in the water supply and get it into him well he's
on to you know what is put it in those little bottles in the black car suvs he takes all the
time just put it just drop it into some of his life water or whatever it is i hope they don't
just let him go it's fun to watch. Well, they haven't.
He's out of his mind.
Well, the hypocrisy is that they're like,
he's sick.
He's sick.
Okay, let's get him on CNN.
So they don't really give a fuck about him.
If they did, they'd try to help him.
Instead, they're like, let's exploit him.
And because, you know, all these guys like Cuomo and all these guys are like,
I want to have a conversation with you.
It's like, no, you don't.
You want to get clicks.
You want this to be the next viral.
If you gave a fuck,
if anybody of us gave a fuck about the guy in the media world we would not you wouldn't have him on anything
right you because then you'd be like i care i don't want to exploit you while you're vulnerable
and let you say dumb shit into the microphone right it's silliness they're all self-serving
and it's so see-through when they're like you know when cuomo and uh and lex friedman all these
people are like i really want to help you.
I want to be your friend.
It's like, then why did you put a camera on him?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Why did you bright light camera this guy if you wanted to help him?
It's such a fucking lie.
It bothered me when I saw all of them.
And it was clickbait for all of them.
I'm sure their views went through the roof and they got what they needed.
And that guy will still be fucking spinning out.
You know, he'll be out of control.
What is the source of all this chaos?
The Kardashians.
They started it.
It seems like, yeah, it seems like, you know, when you leave that, you're different.
They change you.
You're a little different.
Call Lamar Odom.
I mean, didn't he flatline?
He died.
He died.
And he came back.
Yeah.
God was like, I'll give you one more shot, but you stay away from those chicks.
Yeah, they do something to you.
Something's in the water.
Something's in the water.
Something's in the water over there where they were scared, dude.
By the way, and I know this episode's going to come out far after,
but man, oh, man, was I happy to see Philly finally use a football game
because if I saw those clowns go undefeated all year and watch philly boneheads
like our good friends we have so many friends philly guys like chrissy o'connor and shane gilly
and those fucking dickheads if i had to listen to them celebrating going to the world series
losing by the way they lost yeah and then going to the super bowl though i would undefeated i would
blow my fucking brains philly fans are i have so many friends from Philly, but man, are they the worst.
Philly and Boston are tough.
Ah, dickheads.
They're tough.
Dickheads.
Yeah, they're tough.
Boston, I feel like Boston fans,
like Boston people,
they use sports in the place of emotions.
Like I feel like when they want to,
they're like,
they want to say something emotional to you,
they use like a sports team.
A hundred percent.
And they just like,
we'll talk about it through sports.
It's like, yeah.
Debra left me, but you know, I'm doing my burr.
Yeah.
Yeah, Debra left me, dude.
But what would Brady do in this situation?
What would Marcus Smart do?
Yeah.
That's exactly it.
Persevere.
That's my burr. Automatically when I think Boston, I just think of him.
Yeah.
He is the epitome of it and played fucking Fenway and I texted him.
That was incredible.
I texted him.
I was like, you know what's so funny about him?
That's incredible.
Still a humble dude.
Yeah.
I was like, you know, congratulate him.
And he was like, thank you so much, blah, blah, blah.
And I said, you know, like him. And he was like, thank you so much, blah, blah, blah. And I said, you know, like never a doubt.
I don't know what we were saying before,
but I was trying to say like never a doubt.
I wrote at the end of it like that's, you're a fucking, you're the one.
There's very few guys I've met in this business who I respect more.
He is him.
He's him.
That's what they say in the streets.
Yeah, he's him.
He's him.
He's him.
He's not, he's the same guy.
Yeah, I'm surprised. His feet are planted. That's hard to say in the streets. Yeah, he's him. He's him. He's him. He's not. He's the same guy. Yeah, I'm surprised.
His feet are planted.
That's hard to do.
Yeah.
I feel like that's hard to do because you've seen enough people kind of come and go in the thing.
But that's a hard thing to do at that level.
I don't.
Kudos to him.
I don't know how anybody keeps sane when they become – when you sell out baseball stadiums.
That's fucking crazy to me.
That's insane.
That's insane to sell out Fenwell Park.
And what that must have felt like for him, a kid from Boston, it just must have been incredible.
Yeah, and I respect him too because he's done like – right?
He's done like Star Wars shit.
But then you watch his act and it's the same.
Yeah, nothing changed.
He's third rail.
He's still third rail.
Fenway to him is what to you?
The Pantheon?
What is it?
The Parthenon?
I mean, it's got to be Yankee Stadium.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it's funny to know that that'll never happen.
But-
Oh, wait.
Why not?
Maybe.
Yan, maybe.
When you get a little older, your dreams get a little more manageable.
Yeah.
They're a little more manageable.
Like, oh, let me just get a solid shit.
And, you know.
Can I make it back there and back to LA?
God, I hope that fifth show sold out.
You know, it's very manageable stuff, you know.
That's a good life.
It's great, dude.
It's great.
Yeah.
Nothing's missing for you right now.
No.
Right now.
If you could fix one thing, though, what would it be?
If you were like, you know what I wish I had right now?
Actually, that's a good point.
Yeah.
I mean, things are good.
So it's like, it's kind of like if that's, if you don't have a thing where you're like,
man, I wish I fucking, if I could only.
No.
Yeah.
I mean, everything's great.
The tour schedule's filled up.
GiannisPappasComedy.com.
Go to GiannisPappasComedy.com.
Go buy a fucking ticket while you listen to this right now and go see the boy.
Are you collecting a new hour?
Is that what you're doing?
I'm collecting a new hour.
Yeah, and if you haven't watched the special, it's only a couple months.
It's been up.
Go watch that.
Go watch it.
It's called Mom Love.
It's called Mom Love.
It's on the internet everywhere you can click.
It's on the YouTubes, yeah.
Bring your finger around.
You'll see it without a doubt.
You already have a new hour that you're smashing?
No, not a full hour.
Tough, isn't it?
No, I squeeze in some of the old stuff, yeah.
Like, I put mine out in January, my special,
and man, am I empty-headed.
Where's yours? I've got 15 minutes. It's gonna be on Netflix.
Ooh!
Congratulations.
Thanks, but also, you know,
it's all the same now. Yeah, well...
The internet is just the internet. It's almost like...
If they promote it,
you know, if they keep it in that...
They won't.
I'll have to.
Yeah.
I'll have to.
Yeah.
But that's fine.
It is what it is.
And then...
But you know what's good about Netflix, though?
It's on your phone.
Yeah, that.
But I've done two on YouTube now, and it's great.
But I feel like Netflix, you get a chance for maybe like a little more of a mature audience,
a little older audience.
Maybe.
Ticket buyers, as they say.
Yeah.
That's what I'm kind of hoping.
Right.
Because YouTube is still, I think, very young.
And it's like a pre-married crowd.
And now I'm a married guy.
So I think that's the advantage of YouTube.
You're a married guy.
So I think you get a-
But also, I've also felt that the more I see,
like we bought a new TV for the studio in the other room,
and now they're so front loaded.
The first button is YouTube on the thing.
It's YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, buttons, boom, boom, boom, because they know that people aren't getting cable as much anymore.
And that's the first one they have. So I was like, I do think a lot of people go home at night, hit the YouTube button and let it, you play the one thing that they – they start with the thing and then they let the algorithm choose for them.
Yeah.
So it's one and the same.
It's kind of how I'm starting to feel that all of it is chunked into the same spot.
Like, by the way, I'm sure you've had somebody who's seen your special and went, dude, I watched your Netflix special because it's just synonymous with comedy special.
Yeah.
Even if they saw it on YouTube, in their mind, they're yeah netflix special yeah yeah you're probably right it is a weird like
i've had my like my parents friends will say that unknowledgeably and they'll go the netflix special
i'm like no i don't have one yet yeah and they'll go what have i seen what have i seen then right
it's like it's all the internet you saw internet right i love hearing how normal people think about
what we do they're're like, you know.
Well, it's bullshit.
Yeah, they're like, I think I saw your skit thing.
What was your sketch?
Yeah, what was your, you did a sketch.
I saw your thing.
What's your skit?
And then you go, they go like, oh, no, that must have been Jerry Seinfeld.
They're like so far removed.
Yeah.
Or when they ask you, my favorite is when they ask you if you know somebody.
That's, it's a little, it's not.
Have you met Carol Burnett? Yeah, do you know her? Do you know her? Yeah, I know you if you know somebody. That's, it's a little. Have you met Carol Burnett?
Yeah, do you know her?
Do you know her?
Yeah, I know her.
Drew Carey.
Now that's a guy we like.
Yeah, there's a certain age group over a certain age where they can,
like if they just still think you're struggling because they haven't seen you
like on a channel four sitcom. Yeah, you haven't been on carson yeah up to the day she died i should that's a
lie the last year of my grandmother's life she started to really kind of it started to feel real
but honestly before that i had my grandmother multiple times say to my mom like
you know when is andrew gonna like get a job and she's like he has a lot of jobs like he works
on tv and she'll be like oh well no i know but like you know if he really wants to like have a
family and get married you know it's like he needs like probably like a work a job yeah you know yeah
and i and my mother had no explanation it's like yeah yeah just you have to say yeah what are you
gonna do fight about being like no this this thing he does is a job. She's going to go, but when am I going to see him on the Sid Caesar show?
Parents proud of you?
Does he not want to?
He doesn't really want to make it, huh?
Because if he did, we would see him.
We would really see him out there
doing one of those Sinatra specials.
Is Frank still making those? Where's Frank?
Half a glass deep.
Those are the guys I wish we could go back in a time machine
and see how they lived. You know the pack is the rat pack as glorified as it was you know it was
fucking sad as shit you think so yeah yeah dude in the same way i felt about um uh uh hugh hefner
the first time i ever went to the um playboy mansion it immediately if you are self-aware
at all and you go to one of those places you immediately learn
how cockamamie yucky weirdo shit that is why it's scummy it's it was like oh it was always like
scummy fat weird rich guys sauntering around with like sad lost daddyless girls and that's what it
that's what if i saw it right away the first time i went i was poor we got snuck in through
friends production companies rich guy buddy and i knew right away i The first time I went, I was poor. We got snuck in through our friends, production companies, rich guy buddy.
And I knew right away.
I was like, oh, I've always kind of felt weird about Playboy Mansion.
Even if it had all this thing.
And it lived up to the thought, which was it was shit.
It was dog shit.
Well, because you're a comedian.
Comedians are a different type of entertainer.
Right.
It's hard to receive that organically.
Yeah.
We're always aware. We're always seeing entertainer. Right, it's hard to receive that organically. Yeah, we're always aware.
We're always, you know,
seeing through things.
Right, yeah.
And even when other people, I think,
are smart enough to,
because I'm not saying we're smarter,
but even when people, like,
get it enough to see through it,
they choose to horse blind it
because they just want to have a good time.
You know, when someone's like,
can't you just have fun?
And you're like, how?
This is fucking awful.
And they're like, just come on. Will you drop the comedian thing for me? And you're like, how? This is fucking awful. And they're like, just come on.
Will you drop the comedian thing for me?
And you're like, no.
It's in my DNA to call out how crazy this thing is.
Even just to myself, I can't fake it.
I couldn't fake it.
It was a bummer.
It yucked me out fucking hard.
I mean, the guy had to constantly be in a robe because that was his brand.
It's like, put on a fucking pair of Dockers, guy. Grow up. Yeah, grow up. Grow up. Get this guy some slacks. I mean, he's always in a robe because that was his brand. It's like, put on a fucking pair of Dockers, guy.
Grow up.
Yeah, grow up.
Grow up.
Get this guy some slacks.
I mean, he's like always in a robe.
That's the same as the guy
in the neighborhood
who like never puts on real clothes
and he's like,
well, I'm just a stay-at-home dad.
You're like, yeah,
well, take a shower.
Yeah, he's a fucking lazy asshole.
Walking around like Jimmy the,
what was it,
the chin who was trying to
pretend like he was crazy.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That boss.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was just always in a robe. Good act, though, by the way. If you could pretend like he was crazy. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. That mob boss. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was just always in a robe.
Good act, though, by the way.
If you could pretend like you're loopy just so you can get away with more stuff.
He went for it.
He committed.
Yeah.
I think committing to the bit like that is pretty...
I applaud stuff.
We talked on Bad Friends.
This woman, she wanted to be blind so bad she blinded herself.
And that's committing to the bit.
Through acid in her eyeballs.
Yeah.
Because she wanted to be blind? Wanted to be blind. She felt. She threw acid in her eyeballs. Yeah. Because she wanted to be blind?
Wanted to be blind.
She felt she was born blind in her heart.
How old was she?
She needed to go blind.
It's almost like in her 20s when she did it.
Oh, my God.
So that's like, yeah, see, that's what's going on now.
That's what's happening.
That's what's going on now.
That's what's happening.
You can't add comedy to comedy.
I mean, you know, we're living in a pretty peculiar time.
Hard to beat the world at its own joke.
She felt like she just identified as a blind woman.
Well, yeah.
I mean, there's also, we talked about this on the show too.
There's a guy who identifies as Korean who got like a hundred surgeries done to look Korean and changed his name.
He identifies as Korean.
He has no association with it other than he loves Korean culture.
Yeah, I mean, everything from soup to nuts,
from how people, what their gender is,
or what their...
However you think you were
in whatever lifetime, you can be.
That's why I said,
you think you're a girl?
And you know what I think I am?
I am a lowly man who lives on the street
who plays music in the alleyways his mouth trumpet and i get by with my mouth trumpet
and a couple of blow jobs here and there yeah you know i suck a couple that's who you are you got a
good tutor yeah but i think i sleep under uh and underpasses because sometimes i'll find myself
driving under an underpass and i'll go, that's a good place to sleep.
That would be a good place.
Like I'll see the nook.
I'll see nooks.
Yeah.
Sometimes I'll see a homeless nook and I'll go, ooh, prime.
Yeah.
It's roof-ish.
Roof-ish.
It's roof-ish.
Yeah, it is.
It's as close to a roof as you can get.
How about this?
If you could disappear, if you, boom, snap your fingers, and you could disappear, right? Snap your fingers And you could disappear Right
Responsibility's all gone
And
But you had to transport to somewhere
Where would you start
The new life
Rome
I'd go to Rome
I'd go to Rome
But would you
Could I be
Could I choose who I'm gonna be
Of course
I mean
Your old life is gone
You're dead
Okay
Like imagine something
Imagine a universal energy
Came to you one night
And was like
Look I'm sorry
But you're gonna have to
Leave your family.
You don't have a choice.
But we're going to transport you to another time.
I mean, the same time, but another place.
But you're not you.
You're going to be somebody else.
Oh, that's a good question.
Who are you going to be?
What are you going to be?
Would I leave my family?
And could I choose who I am, how rich I am, how powerful I am, things like that?
A few of those details, I think, are too generous.
I think you can choose what kind of person you are, where you live, like what your occupation is and where you live.
Okay.
The rest is going to be up to the others.
I'm a Caesar.
Oh, you're a Caesar.
I'm going to Caesar and I'm going back to Rome.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, I'm going to Rome.
I'm going to be a Caesar.
I'm going to have a harem.
You're going to be a harem guy?
I'm going to be a harem guy.
Yeah.
I mean, if I'm going to go, I'm going to go extreme.
I'm not going to go. I'm not gonna go i'm not gonna
be another version of me yeah in another i'm going who's gonna do that who's gonna go like
i'm just gonna i'm not making any lateral moves you know just gonna be like look put me in jersey

have another family and another no yeah I'd go all the way.
I'd go big.
I'd be a Viking.
Ooh.
I think it's kind of in my blood already.
I'm sure my ancestors were rapad by Vikings because, you know, the red soul, the red crush.
It's like it can afflict anyone, right?
It can, but mostly the up north people got it a lot.
Yeah, like Deontay, what's his name?
Dante.
No, the basketball player, he was a redhead, the one who-
Delonte?
Delonte West.
Poor guy, man.
He's me in the other life, the guy I'm talking about.
I mean, you know, he got to fuck LeBron's mom.
I mean, it's not easy to do.
Maybe that was the secret to his lack of success.
You clip her and you just, that's it.
Yeah, I think after that, it's tough to be persona grata.
Fuck your teammates, mom.
Yeah, yeah.
We're gonna have to let you go.
Not just any team, like, you know,
the face of the league.
Yeah.
You know, there was a moment there
where he had a choice.
Like John Travolta in Pulp Fiction,
he probably hit the bathroom.
He's like, you you just gonna jerk off
and walk away
and he didn't do it
he didn't do it
what a good scene by the way
when he's coming to grips
with the idea
that he's like
you can't fuck
Marcellus Wallace's wife
you gotta go home
you gotta go home
he's having the
full on conversation
which everyone's had
a version of that conversation
where they're like
I don't wanna really
stay at this party
I should get the hey get out of here you start talking to yourself you're like go I don't want to really stay at this party. I should, I should, I should get the,
hey,
get out of here.
You start talking to yourself,
you're like,
go home.
Just get the fuck out of here.
Yeah.
And then of course
you come out,
someone's like,
who wants a bump?
And you're like,
I'll stay!
I'll stay!
In here,
we pour whiskey.

How many subscriptions do you have?
You have them all at Disney plus.
I got Hulu.
I got Apple TV.
You have so many subscriptions and you don't even know what they are anymore.
It's incredible.
Are you wasting money on subscriptions?
80% of people have subscriptions.
They forgot about maybe,
you know,
an unused Amazon prime account,
Hulu that you don't ever Maybe, you know, an unused Amazon Prime account, Hulu that you don't ever use.
You know, who knows?
And because of this, I have this great app for you guys to use
so you no longer have to waste money.
It's called Rocket Money, formerly known as Truebill.
You know how much your subscriptions really cost?
Probably not.
Most Americans think they're spending around $80 a month.
They're closer to $200 plus.
You could be wasting hundreds of dollars every single month on subscriptions you don't even know about, don't even use.
So you got to use Rocket Money.
All right?
They're going to show all your subscriptions in one place, and they cancel for you whatever you're not using anymore or you don't want anymore.
They can even find subscriptions you didn't know you were paying for, which is huge.
You may even find out you've been double charged for a sub. Shame on you out there charging us twice. To cancel a
subscription, all you have to do is press cancel. That's it. Rocket Money takes care of the rest.
Get rid of useless subscriptions with Rocket Money now. This is incredible. I used this to clean up
four subscriptions I had that I either never used or I was paying twice for, which is insane.

Ginger.
I like gingers.
Everyone's had a version of that convo.
Yeah, of course.
No, I think I would be a Viking because, just because of the boat shit.
I think boat life would be wild.
You know it's a short-lived life.
You ain't living long.
You're going to get killed or you're going to get sick.
Wait, you're going to be a Viking just for the boat ride?
Boat life, my dude.
Well, because you kind of, Vikings were kind of piratey.
You know what I mean?
Well, what about the pillaging, the raping, and all that stuff?
Well, that's what, that's involved.
Those are the amenities.
Those are the amenities.
Yeah.
Right.
That's like a hotel that, you know, that has nice soap.
Yeah.
That's what that is.
But I also want the view.
From the boat.
I want the boat view.
But it wasn't like a yacht boat.
I mean, you're in like a shitty wooden boat.
See, but I like that.
You're rowing.
Yeah.
But you're commiserating.
You're with your clique with your click your crew yeah
uh vikings were just frats they were just frats that's all that was a viking ship was just a
frat a floating frat that's all it was they were they were town they were free to date rape
without it's just a floating frat that's all vikings were no I just think it'd be
I think I'd want to do something
where
it would be extreme
because the life is extreme
and the death is quick
you know
you know you're getting
stabbed
shot
you're getting drowned
something
shot
I mean I think that's anachronistic
I'm not sure the gun
was invented yet
if you're a viking
shot
jizz
no it was a jizz record
oh okay yeah
jizz they drown you in it ah that was one of
the methods yeah that's what they make the history books yeah stab cannonballed yeah that would be
that would be a nice that would be another way to torture someone who's just bukkake their face
till they drown in a marauding tribe's cum. Bukkake.
Yeah.
It's like Chinese water torture.
Yeah, but it's just-
Japanese bukkake torture.
It's just bukkake.
Yeah.
They just all come on your face until you drown in it.
You can't breathe.
It's covering your nose.
It's actually-
You would be good for the government.
Have you thought about working for the feds?
No, but it is good.
You let it dry there so it closes the eyes.
It closes the mouth.
Yeah.
Their hands can't take it off.
Oh, please, please.
That would be horrible.
That might be one of the worst ways to die.
I also don't... Ling Chi
is also... What's that?
Did you learn that from Bobby?
That's his kid's name, Ling Chi.
Yeah, you know something he told you?
Ling Chi is death by a thousand cuts.
You've never heard of Ling Chi? Ouchie!
Yeah. That's old torture shit.
They slightly cut you
until your skin becomes like,
it's like it falls off.
And that's something
that the eastern hemisphere people did?
No, Arkansas.
It's right out of Arkansas.
It's Little Rock.
Yeah, that's one of the old,
Ling Chi was a death by a thousand cuts.
It's an ancient torture.
But I think things like that
that they don't do anymore
uh are are disgusting it's very creative though isn't it funny how creative how vicious humans
could be like when you look at this you're going like man like we really we can take it all the way
yeah crucifixion chinese water torture stoning's crazy. Yeah. You're throwing. By the way, it's based on hand-eye
coordination and hate.
You gotta be good at
gaming and hating at the exact
same time. You have to be an athlete who's
good at hating. I've seen a stoning on
a video. You've watched? Yeah. That's one of those
like faces of death things? No, it was like
before the internet was like really
regulated, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Those things were just like on YouTube and you you'd see a Verizon commercial before them.
Get two family lines for three.
Goes straight to a stone.
Dude gets stoned in the streets.
That is so funny.
An ASPCA commercial.
Someone getting beat to death in the street.
There's still versions of those
which are really funny.
You'll have a real mainstream commercial
and then it'll cut to a horrifying 911 call
of a mother who's killed their kids
and you're like,
I don't know if I want to see that.
You guys demonetized my video
because I said a certain word
but you're totally cool
with monetizing live murder.
Those phone calls they put up on the internet, I heard one where it's a guy a certain word, but you're totally cool with monetizing live murder. Yeah.
Well,
those,
those phone calls they put up on the internet of like,
I heard one where it's a guy who's like,
I just killed my wife.
Yeah.
And he's like,
and they,
and they call it,
you know,
by the way,
shout out those,
those people that are trained there,
they are Jedi with their,
the way they talk to them to keep them on the phone.
Right.
Cause the,
the,
the operator was like,
okay, all right. Who, who, who are, are what is your name like not any questions about the murder right uh mike you
know whatever it's like okay mike where are you right now are you are you okay yeah it's like it
makes them feel like they might be the victim right so they don't get vulnerable hang up and
leave yeah and she was she was it was unbelievable listening to it it's a psychology lesson because
she was like okay are you there alone now, Mike?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Do you have weapons on you still?
Or it was just like, if you look at the way that they learn to diffuse these people in
these situations that are already out of their, their loop is gone.
Right.
They're not present.
So it's like, they're talking to a, I guess that you, they turn into like a child.
Cause the way they respond is childlike. They're like, uh-huh. Yeah. Uh-huh. Like they're talking to a i guess that you they turn into like a child because the way they respond is childlike they're like uh-huh yeah uh-huh like they're not clear answers yeah most
of them are good but then you'll come across one or two of the videos where they're you're just
screaming at the 911 operator because she's she's like keeps asking the address from like a woman
who's like been kidnapped living under well that's Well, that's nuts. Yeah, yeah. And she has to whisper. 44, 25 L.
Yeah.
Okay, ma'am, don't yell.
Just give me the address.
Her kidnapper's sleeping, so she had a moment.
I've heard those ones.
And she's like, I'm at 4-4.
And the person's like, what?
Chewing a sandwich.
Can you say that again?
It's like, no, I can't.
And I see the woman in my mind.
Yeah.
Say this slower. I'm typing it in. Hold on. Being in my mind. Yeah. Say this slower.
I'm typing it in.
Hold on.
I'm being so jumpy.
Fuck.
Just got back from lunch.
Can you say it louder?
I can't hear you.
Yeah, that's the point.
He's asleep.
I can't.
Okay, you know what?
Wake up your kidnapper.
Ask him what it is because I'm getting tired of this.
Yeah.
And then sometimes they'll go too many details.
You're like, he's got me like in a little
trapped in a little closet
they're like
can you tell me
where the closet is
is in the house
yeah
she's like
okay
there's two bedrooms upstairs
fucking GPS
location
yeah
and get help
don't you know
hasn't my phone pinged
where I am right now
by now
don't you know
a million times over
yeah
I saw that on
on something about that now, you know, legally they can use those pings wherever you are.
Like in court, right?
Like it's not admissible where your phone is pinging off cell towers constantly if it's on.
Right.
So they can always find the last spot that you were at no matter who you are, where you're from.
So you're just, we're giving up all that information.
Yeah.
You're being pinged, my dog.
They know everything, man.
And that's why I went like, oh, they're like, don't get on TikTok because the CCP is taking all your info.
I'm like, dude, they already have it.
I mean, they have it.
You think Twitter didn't do that or Instagram didn't do that?
They all have it.
Yeah, they got it.
They know exactly.
Elon, I just, I want some of your information.
That guy, what a weird, what a robot guy.
Who, Elon?
Yeah, it's so funny.
People are so mad at him.
He goes from, it's funny, he goes from hero to villain to hero to villain.
Like that.
It's real funny.
It's like he puts up Starling for the Ukrainians and people are like, ah.
Elon.
He creates an electric car.
Elon.
Then he posts a conspiracy theory that Paul Pelosi was bludgeoned by his gay lover, and then it goes down.
Kill him!
Yeah, that was a quick lapse in judgment right when he bought Twitter.
He just posted that.
It just shows you that Twitter gets everybody.
No matter how smart, no matter how successful, Twitter will take you down.
He just bought the fucking thing like a day ago and hillary clinton posted
a thing and he posted under hillary clinton's he posted maybe more to this story than meets the eye
and you're like elon don't do it no he's don't click send and he clicked that but you know what
it is that's that's trump lived through the exact same thing when people were like why would he
tweet that you're like because he knows it's gonna garner so much attention faster than anything he could do it also just twitter
just shows how flawed we all are and how like emotional and unstable unstable i'd say unstable
yeah mentally unstable as a society twitter is the collective look at how sick and twisted we are
yeah and and how and how one narrative can get spun three different ways in the same in one
chunk like i saw a guy
this is tiktok but it is still twitter the idea is twitter and you know what i mean when i say this
there was a girl a woman recording her little tiny girl who was like um she's very young and
she's like there's a black girl that we play with at the park that has beautiful hair with braids
and would you ever do that with my hair can i
have it like that she looks pretty whatever and then it flips to a guy being like a black dude
being like uh sorry you're not going to culturally appropriate but and then it flips to like a white
guy who dubbed on that video and was just like that's a baby girl dude just a baby girl trying
to look pretty and it's so funny how you can see you know
what i mean you'll see seven that is twitter where it's like yeah yeah it's like burn him
make him a king kill him it's so funny layers and layers of commentary yeah man commentary about
commentary it's yeah dragging he was dragging her then that guy's dragging him somebody's gonna
drag the guy that was dragging him that was dragging her. But at the end of the day, what Twitter is, which is this as well, it's moot because poof, and it's gone again.
Right?
Like all of this, it's a ton of noise.
It's like a bad crowd in comedy when they do this laugh where they go, and it's silence.
You know these like peaky things?
Yeah, yeah.
They give you no momentum.
That's what Twitter is.
It's and then nothingness.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's, and then nothing is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's creepy. It's like post-apocalyptic silence with dust after this nonsense, everyone's gnawing at
each other, and then silence.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I think at the end of the day when they said it might go away, good, fucking
blow it up.
Fuck it.
It's shit anyway.
Yeah.
We definitely don't need it.
That would be a hilarious troll if he just paid 40, what is it, 40-
44 billion?
44 billion to just- Trash it? Just treat it like he did that Tesla sent into space.
He just takes all the hard drives, he puts them in a Tesla, and he just sends them up to Mars, and that's it.
I think that's a good idea.
And honestly, fuck it.
Trash it.
You don't need it.
I think it'd be better if everything crashed on that stuff.
We'd probably be a little bit more sane.
I think it's safe to say that without Twitter, things would be a lot chiller.
It's really responsible for a lot of things that are not chill.
And also a lot of bullshit.
It hasn't chilled anything out.
No chill.
No.
Twitter has no fucking chill.
There's no like chakra yoga teacher with like 14 billion followers
where everyone's just going there on Twitter to be like,
hey, man, teach me how to chill
it's like people are on there to fucking
be angry even still even if a yogi
was on there and like trying to promote if Jesus was on there
be like fuck you yeah fuck off
he'd be like turn the other cheek wash my feet
dick there'd be fucking memes under
words of like
there'd be Will Ferrell memes going like
to everything Jesus
said
no it's so true it's sad Will Ferrell means going like, ah. That's everything Jesus says.
That is, no, it's so true.
It's sad.
That's kind of where it is now. And he wouldn't be able to get any following because all his tweets would be like very loving.
Right.
Caring.
You can't get followers that way.
It'd be boring and shit.
He's like, hey, guys, render unto Caesar.
And someone's like, fuck you, dude.
You're working for the Illuminati.
Yeah, right.
You're a secret pedophile cult.
What's up with you and pizza shops, Jesus?
Try to bury Jesus right away.
He would.
That's why he hasn't come back.
He knows how fucked we are.
The idea that he would return again, no chance.
This guy hasn't come back because he sees it
and he's like, no, no, no, no.
This is fucking, let them kill each other.
Let this thing burn out and I'll go back when it starts again.
He's probably going, I shouldn't have.
I probably shouldn't have even went the first time.
Yeah, that was bad.
I went, and look what they did to me.
They fucking strung me up.
They really were not cool to him.
They were very Twittered.
Very.
Very un-chill.
Yeah, they were very un-chill.
Very Twitter-esque.
Yeah.
They had zero fucking chill.
We're not a chill animal.
Nah, but humans instinctively, we're beasts. We're communal. We're angry. We're not a chill animal. Nah, but humans instinctively, we're beasts.
We're communal.
We're angry.
We're defensive.
We're protective.
So, of course, given all those digital tools to get all of this stuff done in a short span of time,
of course we're going to go bad with it.
It's going to go bad.
You know where I've, the sweet spot of chill, I think?
Yeah.
I think I'm in it right now.
Because, like, my daughter's now going to, like, daycare and stuff like that.
The sweet spot, because most of the reason why we're not chill is, like, all the testosterone and chemicals and youth and ignorance and, you know, nihilism.
When you're young, you know, you want to bang your head in the wall so your friends could laugh.
You want to fucking shit on someone out the window for laughs.
So your friends could laugh.
You want to fucking shit on someone out the window for laughs.
But when you have like a kid and your testosterone levels are down because you're in your mid-30s or 40s or 50s, like everything's chill.
And everyone there is like so responsible, caring about the community, about the future because now they have a vested interest in it.
But also testosterone levels are fucking down.
Makes for a chill party.
It's a chill party.
It's a – dude, when a dude when everyone lower your tea when everyone's got low tea and you're in a party dude everyone's just sitting
around sipping uh whiskey talking convo right it's not like nobody's taking a bottle and like
fucking smashing someone's face on it you know it's totally chill no one's so that's the sweet
spot that is the nugget that like that the like kids married 30s to 60. That's the sweet spot.
It's almost, that was almost the universe's chill pill.
That's a chill pill, yeah.
Fucking, you need this right now.
You need to stop being annoying.
People don't need to hear you complain.
It's a bagel store.
Go home.
Yeah.
Don't yell.
Like, remember the little bagel guy?
Remember that guy that was in the bagel store?
Oh, yeah, the little tiny guy.
You don't know me, pal.
It's like that guy had no chill.
You're not my father.
You're not my boss. you're not my boss!
You're not my father, and you're not my boss!
By the way, his life totally ruined because of the internet. Yeah. One video and everybody
hates him. Yeah. He hit a stroke. Oh, he did? Yeah. Did he die?
He's either dead or worse. R.I.P. little bagel guy. Or worse, like he just can't do anything.
Jesus. Yeah. He had a moment though, he had a quick moment where he was gonna fight Lenny
Dykstra, but it didn't fall through. It quick moment where he was gonna fight Lenny Dykstra but it didn't fall through
it fell through
he was gonna fight
Lenny Dykstra
I mean how sad is that
was he
he was gonna fight
Lenny Dykstra
one of those
sad for Lenny
nah but he's on his own path
my guy
yeah he's on that
same kind of
what's going on
yeah
yeah well he wants you
to lose your teeth
yeah
teeth are a thing
teeth are
once you
if you're a successful human
and you lose your teeth now I'm not saying someone that lives uh that's having a tough
time with their life lenny was a very wealthy dude and he lost his teeth if you lose your
teeth with resources it's bad yeah he lost all his resources too i and i think they go one of
these you think it was just all one big dental bill? Yeah, this guy went in.
The guy was like, it's $187 million to fix your mouth.
Yeah.
Lenny's tough.
It's tough.
When you see those stories, the Antoine Walkers, the Lenny's, even Curt Schilling lost all his money.
It's like, guys, how did you lose that money, dog?
Well, I mean, dude, fucking Tyson talks about it on his podcast all the time.
I think he enjoys it to
say it but he's lost more money than anybody in the history of professional sports which kind of
might be true because i think he says he lost a half a billion or something oh yeah but that's
it's impressive but but and when somebody goes how would you do that i gotta tell you something
once you sit around a very wealthy person right once you see how they live it's the same thing
with kanye when people are like whatever he's still rich it's like no no but their lifestyles are insane i think people
are like what could that even mean it's like well that guy's private jetting all day every day to
somewhere new right so in private jet alone if you're paying 20 grand an hour which is probably
his he's probably taking super max you know the super jets 20 25 grand an hour an hour every single time you want to go somewhere plus the hotels and the
crews that he brings and the people he employs he's probably spending 100 grand a day minimum
minimum his expenses your expenses go up it's but it's through the it's but it's money loss that you
don't know gone when you know what i mean like you know those people are like uh um
we saw like uh mark walberg had a house for his house one of his houses for sale and i was we
were looking it was 41 million dollars or something like that and it was like what it would take to
run the machine would make people head spin right just the just the insurance and property tax
that's what i mean to run the machine to have humans that'll take care of it with you, the water bills,
all that shit
is hundreds of thousands
of dollars a month.
And you're like,
that's...
And then you gotta pay
the salaries of the people
who do it.
Yeah, that runs out, man.
I think people think
you can't get rid of that money.
You can because you live
like a goof.
But when you live on
60 grand a year
working a regular job,
you're like,
how could they blow that? You're like, well, dude, you could because you live in a loop a year working a regular job you're like how could they blow that
you're like well dude you could because you live you live in a loopy world where someone's like
yeah it's a 700 000 watch that's not crazy and everyone always expects you to pick up the check
when you're at dinner like you can't just not pick up you have to buy the whole thing you have
to buy all the things yeah like i went to dinner once with stamos and i it was just i knew i'm like
you're picking up the check it was. It was like 14 people there too.
You know,
he probably is not crazy about that.
Yeah,
that's gotta be annoying.
Yeah,
it's gotta be kind of annoying
but you can't,
but he can't as Stamos,
you just can't do it.
Have you ever picked up
a check for him?
No,
we haven't hung out
like that many times.
I would try,
I would fake it.
But you know,
you can't
because then it becomes a thing where everyone's like,
Stamos made us split the check.
That's fucking crazy.
See, I think it's cool.
He should.
Stamos, I know you're listening.
Split it.
Start making people split.
Split it.
But how about-
Stamos looked up in the bill and goes, I got this, you guys.
Just Venmo me, will you?
How funny.
PayPal, do you have Zelle?
Yeah.
Zelle me.
Or if he just goes, or when the check comes, he goes, yeah, we're going to 14.
Wait, can we set?
If he just said that, yeah.
When the server comes, goes, can I bring the bill?
And he goes, yeah, yeah.
They can all pay for the Zelle.
Or if he goes, I got card, but you guys got cash?
You want to kick in?
Kick in.
Giannis, I noticed that you had two bottles of wine with us, but you didn't want to pay
up a little bit?
Wouldn't that be nice to see him do that to you?
Yeah, that would be funny.
Yeah.
But that's one of the things why those people lose their money
because everyone always expects them
to pay and they almost feel like
they have to
because if they don't,
people are like,
that's weird.
Like, you're famous and rich.
Do you ever feel like
if someone says they notice you,
do you feel like,
like if you go to a restaurant
and someone knows who you are,
do you feel like you have to
tip a lot more money?
Yes, yes.
Yeah, you do.
You know, it was weird.
Someone,
when did this
happen it was the other day someone i was just walking somewhere and some guy was like you're
just walking around it's so funny how like nowadays with the internet everyone has like a little tiny
fame it's not like there's no more like there's not very many ben afflecks you know sure so it's
like but to those people they think you're like you like you know? Sure. So it's like, but to those people, they think you're like,
you don't walk around anymore.
It's like, yeah, of course I'm walking around.
I have to.
I'm fucking a Z-list celebrity.
Yeah.
I'm taking my kid to daycare.
Yeah, I'm like, yeah.
I mean, I'm like, I'm not, yeah.
But you also gotta,
you don't wanna ruin it
and be like, yeah, man,
I'm actually taking the bus.
So you wanna go, yeah, you know,
once in a while I like to get out there
amongst the plebs.
I'm like you.
I'm just like you.
I'm a normie, baby.
And you're getting into your,
you're like,
all right, man,
I got to go to your jet pack.
I was so taken aback
by that comment.
It was like,
you're just walking around?
I'm like,
yeah, what?
Was this in the city?
I think it was Austin.
I'm trying to remember
where exactly.
It was Austin.
Could it be last time
me and Bobby were there? it was right before the show
I was doing the show
and they were coming
to see the show
and I was like
going to like a taco truck
to get tacos
and the guy was going
to the show
and he was like
whoa
Giannis Pappas
where'd you play
the Vulcan
the Vulcan theater
the Vulcan
the two levels right
that's the one I'm thinking of
yeah the Vulcan
yeah
it's like a music venue
turned like
everybody loves it now
yeah I mean it's like
well call Rogan.
When the fuck is this comedy club opening?
Well, when that comedy club opens, Vulcan's going to take a little bit of a hit.
It's going to be tough, huh?
I'm sure Rogan's going around being like, everyone's going to be fine.
It's like, no, they're not.
Well, but also, that thing's been benefiting in Austin from the comedy boom, and I don't
think there's-
I mean, well, no, the sellers.
I mean, the-
The Creek in the Cave.
Creek in the Cave.
I don't know why I said this.
Creek in the Cave is out there.
Yeah, everybody's been doing good
Yeah and Rogan opens his club
You know
Maybe there's enough gravy
Did you go do his show by the way?
No I didn't
I did his
His
Live show
His potty
Oh no that's what I'm saying
You did his pot
Yeah I did his potty
Yeah
And what did
Did he talk about opening the club or no?
He said it's soon
Did you show you a bunch of elk meat
That he killed
That too
Yeah
And then it's soon
He says soon
Soon Soon It's been soon What is soon? Bless me Yeah's a bunch of elk meat that he killed. That too? Yeah. And then it's soon. He says soon.
Soon.
Soon.
It's been soon.
What is soon?
Bless me.
Yeah, I think he's close.
I think he's close.
I think he's close.
I'm curious.
I'm going to go see him soon.
I'm going to go. I think it's like maybe January, February, something like that.
Januar.
Maybe Januar we'll be back.
We'll all go down.
It'll be fun.
Yeah, no, I do want to see it.
I do want to see it.
I think I want to see what that looks like in that city without – because what it used to be to me was kind of a – no offense, but it was just kind of like a quick stop city where I'd go do –
No offense taken, yeah.
Well, what's it called?
Cap City.
Cap City.
You know, it's like – that's not – it's gone, right?
No, it's back.
Oh, they opened it up again?
It's back, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's all it was to me.
It was like go to Cap City, do the thing, and then get out as fast as you can.
Mateo Lane was doing Cap City when I was doing Vulcan.
Yay!
Had to.
I'm so sorry.
He is.
And I saw him on the plane, and he was in first class, and I was in coach.
Yeah, what?
That was one of those things.
That's a funny moment.
That's a real funny moment.
When you see someone you know?
When you're walking in, and I'm in the last row because i booked my ticket real late and you know you almost want like you when i was walking
by him i was trying to like part of my brain was going like should i try to explain this real quick
what do you say what do you just want to get into like hey you like as you're walking my
but hey man you know like i sometimes sit up there too you know i just wanted but you're
like you're just like you just take it you're like yeah man enjoy it and he had an uncomfortable
look at his face
because like we know
each other
and his career is
you know going incredible
so I just felt like
it was a very funny moment
where I could read
his expression
he could read mine
and we were both trying to
it was like the elephant
in the room
that happens
yeah he was
he was just
he was like the first row
first face I saw
I'm all sweaty
carrying bags
long line you you know?
Yeah, he was sipping on a tea already.
Yeah, he had like a champagne.
Someone was toweling his neck a little bit.
Yeah, no, I've had those moments.
But I've been on both sides of the coin.
He said something very funny, though.
Have you seen that documentary about, what is it, Nixxiom, the cult?
Oh, yeah. In Albany? Nixium the the cult oh yeah in albany yeah yeah so i was watching
that like the day before so when i got off i was like talking about it like because he waited for
me and we like walked a little bit and i was like it's crazy this guy was like branding these chicks
and he goes it was real funny he goes because it's true he goes jesus christ the things that
straight guys got to go through to get some fucking pussy. It's ridiculous.
You got to like join a cult.
You got to like start a cult.
Yeah.
Maintain a cult.
Yeah.
It's like, it's kind of true.
You know what it is?
If you're unattractive, I watched a documentary about that thing called One Taste.
You know what?
You should watch that one.
The One Taste is crazy.
It was like in Silicon Valley and it was led by this woman and she created this. Wow, a woman had a cult.
Yeah, but it was all about making a woman orgasm. It was all about the woman. It was all about making a woman cum. It was nothing by this woman, and she created this. Wow, a woman had a cult. Yeah, but it was all about making a woman orgasm.
It was all about the woman.
It was all about making a woman cum.
It was nothing about men.
Of course, men eventually joined.
Then it became this twisted thing, and you should watch it.
It's fucking insane.
But what it really comes down to is when you go into these sexy cult things,
this sexy branded thing where it's always about the root cause is always a sex thing,
the guys are always, always hide hideous they're always ugly guys they're not one is a good looking guy never once
is there one looking good because a good looking guy knows better you don't need to do that but so
what it is is it's not straight men need to go it's unfortunate looking men yeah they're out of
options it's either they're going to shoot up a school right they're gonna get a prostitute or they gotta join a cult right and and and be a part of this thing yeah
yeah yeah if you're ugly dude your options are limited yeah and i'm not saying i'm fucking brad
pitt but i'm lucky enough where i'm like you see the guys in these documentaries they're always
unfortunate looking men and you're like straight men yeah always straight because the gay ones
there's ugly gay guys are fine there's always a gay that's into that type of gay.
Of course.
They have like these sub-
There's a section, yeah.
Yeah, fetishes and like, oh, he's a bear.
And you're like, he's a fat-
And in the straight world, you're like, he's just a fat guy.
So he's a lazy fat guy, yeah.
But in the gay world, they're like, oh, he's a bear.
I love that.
Yeah.
And I'd say-
He's blind, blind bear.
Yeah, he's a blind bear.
He's a one-eyed blind bear.
Yeah.
Gay guys fuck, man.
They-
Yeah, they're pump machines.
They're men.
They're just men.
They're just good old-fashioned men without restrictions.
Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, every one of these documentaries, I recommend people watching the One Taste.
I forget what it's called, but Google One Taste and you'll find out.
And this woman, man, she was fucking evil, man, the way she manipulated these people and promoted violence.
Why do people fall for
manipulation so easily why are why are why are sometimes the worst people so fucking charming
well here so they're so you know i'm talking about yeah of course but she was no exception
right like this woman was so good at what many of these leaders are at making you feel comfortable they're usually
good looking mirror you yeah they're usually good looking enough where you trust them because let's
say we can pretend that it's not real but society we always deem good looking people as higher than
we listen to them like they know more than us we you know you handsome and pretty people, we will always assume that they're better than us in some way.
Like they know more.
God fucked that up.
God fucked that up.
Don't you think God fucked that up?
Because like, yeah, we're attracted to just facial symmetry and like very superficial things.
We're all hardwired for that.
That's not great for our species. That's not great for our species.
Uh-uh.
That's not great for evolution.
Uh-uh.
Why are we not totally turned on by when a woman starts just fucking,
just routing off math equations and science facts?
How come that doesn't get me a stiffy?
Because we're still animals.
Yeah.
We want to know that you can help, and they want to know that you can save.
Well, that's bad.
Well, dude, we haven't evolved.
You think about this.
We're not that old.
Yeah.
As a species, we're not that old.
Do you think one day it'll be like that instead of like going like-
I think in a million years, yeah, it'll be all about something else.
Guys will consider being like, look at those tits.
You'll be like, God, man, you got to really have a convo with this girl.
Have you spoken to this woman?
Have you spoken to her?
Jesus Christ.
We won't have bodies by then.
We'll be floating entities.
Yeah.
We'll be just- we'll be cells with some kind of figure, but it'll be shrouded. We won't have bodies by then. We'll be floating entities. Yeah. We'll be just, we'll be, we'll be,
we'll be just,
we'll be cells with some kind of figure
but it'll be shrouded
so we won't get to judge
so you just pair with the thing
that works the best with you.
It's gonna be sad.
You think it's gonna be sad?
Yeah,
it's gonna be sad.
We're in the fun stage.
It's the infancy of humans
but it's also gonna be,
it's,
I don't think it gets better.
I think,
I think we're in the nugget.
Would you upload your consciousness
to the metaverse for eternity? No, no thanks. No? No, because I'm out of here. I want to be out of here when I'm out of here. Yeah. I think we're in the nugget. Would you upload your consciousness to the metaverse for eternity? No, thanks. No? No, because I want to be out of here when I'm
out of here. When I'm done, I want to be done. When my time calls, thank you, it was good.
That's it. You're not greedy. I like that. My dad said that towards the end of his life. He goes,
I'm not a pig. He said, I loved it. He goes, I'm not a pig. He says, I did everything I wanted to
do. I lived. I'm not a pig. I says, I did everything I wanted to do. I lived.
I'm not a pig.
I'm not greedy.
I got it. He got it.
Well, I don't need you to write about me.
I don't need you to talk about me.
It's okay.
It was fun.
I had a good time.
And I truly mean it.
I guess maybe it is also maybe a little bit of enlightenment that I've gotten older just being like, I just want to enjoy it.
And then that's it.
Are you enjoying it?
I am to a degree
I mean it's overwhelming
Because I'm in the middle of it
Yeah
You know
Working on the show
Working on the podcast
Writing this other thing
Doing this other thing
It's like
It's work you enjoy

I think it's a
Champagne problem
It's like

And have a good time And also work hard but uh i think i will be happy i'll be happy about the
work i have been doing do you know what i mean are you moving to new york i might move to new
york i don't think that's a bad move i think that's a good i might but you get so much fucking
acting work yeah but you know what i just, you know, I was always jealous when somebody told five stories
about their life.
You know,
sometimes I'd meet a guy
that my dad knew
and it was like,
you know,
when he was young,
he used to work at da-da-da-da-da
and then his family
and they moved to blank
and then they did this
and then for a while he was this
and then they did this
and I kind of think sometimes,
like, I don't want my story
to be like,
moved to LA
and did that for the rest of his life.
Right.
It'd be nice to,
it'd be nice to create a new story.
Right. You know, and even if it's not as, you know, I don't know, I just think, did that for the rest of his life right it'd be nice to it'd be nice to create a new story right
you know and even if it's not as you know i i don't know i just think even if it takes a weird
dip or it changes its course it's all going to be worth the experience yeah and also i'll be close
