We got a very special guest in this part of Brooklyn, probably for the first and last time.
Starting point is 00:01:52 No, I love it out here. That park over there is beautiful. Yeah. This is great. Yeah, and we're close to the water, too. And I think- I saw the Statue of Liberty. Yeah, you can see the Statue of Liberty. There's a body of water.
Starting point is 00:02:00 I feel like you need to be close to a body of water. You look like you were born on a body of water. I was. Well, yeah, I was. I was born in St. Pete and grew up on a lake. I'm trying to work this bit out. I was doing it over at Rogan's Club, but there's so many predators in Florida.
Starting point is 00:02:18 You mean like sexual? Animals. Crocodiles. Sexuals, crocodiles, alligators, snakes, lightning. I mean, all of it. There's so many predators in Florida that I think it builds into my anxiety. I wasiles. Sexuals, crocodiles, alligators, snakes, lightning. Yeah. I mean, all of it. There's so many predators in Florida that I think it builds into my anxiety. I was trying to tell someone, I never once went water skiing, fell, and was like, that was fun.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Yeah. I was like, feet up, gator, let's go. We're good. Wrap it up. Get me in the boat. Like. Yeah. I always felt like that.
Starting point is 00:02:39 You'd be comfortable. Like, if everything goes underwater, Florida goes underwater, if global warming comes to full fruition, I think you'll survive. You'll build a house on water. You'll be like Aquaman. Yeah, you are Aquaman. This is not going to come out right,
Starting point is 00:02:55 but I look forward to disasters. You don't like blacks. That never comes out right. That never comes out right. I mean, they can be a bit much, is what I'm saying. It's a little, you got to get used to it. They're like oysters. It takes a little while gotta get used to it. They're like oysters. It takes a little while. They're like oysters.
Starting point is 00:03:08 They're like oysters. No, I used to have a joke. I have a sex with a black chick, it's like eating the blowfish sushi. You'll tell everyone about it. It'll be a memory of a lifetime, but if you do it wrong, you might die. That's funny. That's perfect. That's actually a perfect analogy.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Having sex with a Latino chick is like eating ceviche out of a conch shell with your feet in the water on a beach. It's beautiful. It's memorable. But you're probably going to get sick. And then a white chick's like a cheeseburger. It's like a cheeseburger. It's hard to fuck up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:42 It's pretty good. It's pretty good. I mean, if it's done right, you're like, well, it's pretty good, but it's still at the end of the day, it was a cheeseburger. Let me throw you a curveball. Go. Half Honduran, half Chilean girl. What's that like?
Starting point is 00:03:53 Fuck. That's like eating Cobra. Right. Yeah. It's going to be memorable as fuck. Your asshole's going to be burning after. Yeah, but it's going to happen real fast for me. Yeah, the machine, razzle dazzle.
Starting point is 00:04:09 You got a special coming out. You got a billboard up in Times Square. You went from a billboard in Times Square to a junior one bedroom in Bay Ridge to do this podcast. It's so authentically New York. I was waiting for you to come out from one of those houses with a wife beater and slides and socks with some Yankees training shorts. Like, finishing up your coffee.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Over here. Hey, Vinny. Yeah. I should call out the window and be like, yo, burn up here. Come up here and set a fucking floor. See, growing up in Florida, I never had civic pride. Yeah. We just didn't have.
Starting point is 00:04:43 You weren't married to Florida, ultimately. You were like, my parents ended up here. Everyone's parents ended up pride. Yeah. Like, we just didn't have, you weren't like, you weren't married to Florida, ultimately. You were like, my parents ended up here. Everyone's parents ended up there. Right. And so, I looked at, like, you guys as like, that's what I wish I had. Like, an authentic personality based on the city that you're from.
Starting point is 00:04:58 You have that, though. Now I do. But guys like me created that. We created Florida. Florida didn't created that. We created Florida. Florida didn't create you. You created Florida. Well, Florida created us, and then we showed everyone how broken we are. Like growing up in Florida, I knew two dudes without tongues.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Right, right. Tongueless Brett and... Right, right. And that's not abnormal, right? That's just... Yeah. Dude, I mean, one, did you guys get molested a lot? Yeah. Okay, all right. Let's do tit for abnormal, right? That's just, yeah. Dude, I mean, did you guys get molested a lot? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Okay. Let's do tit for tat, okay? I mean, I never got got, but it's like COVID. Like, I know someone who knows someone who died of COVID. Yeah. Like, it's like. It's like COVID. Yeah, it's like Catholic.
Starting point is 00:05:39 If you do Catholic, you can basically do like six degrees like Kevin Bacon with priests. I never got hard molested. Right. But soft molested a lot. What is the difference between a hard molested and a soft molested? Hard molested, you're sucking a dude's dick or he sucks your dick. That's a hard molested.
Starting point is 00:05:55 I always thought that was a soft one. I thought a hard one was when you had a relationship with the guy that you didn't consent to, but it was continual. That's rock hard. Yeah. Soft molestation was when it happened to you but it happened to all your friends too oh yeah so it's not as traumatic you guys yeah like an ice cube up the asshole like that they held you down they did it and then you were like and then you and then when you got up that you helped them hold the next kid down. I learned a lot during Me Too. That's actually kind of like a pretty sympathetic molester
Starting point is 00:06:30 because he's thinking, I'm going to molest you guys right into a support group. So I'm going to give you the support. You'll have the support group built in. Yeah, there's nothing like a walk home with your four friends after you've all been molested by the older kids. It does soften it, though.
Starting point is 00:06:44 You're not the only one. There's no secret to keep. You can't push it down and store it away, and then it comes back in your 40s. There's three witnesses. Dude, and that was Florida. That was Florida. I remember we moved into this.
Starting point is 00:06:59 We lived in a redneck neighborhood, really rough. Not rough, but it's the first place I ever heard the M word, like in first grade. Pretty quick. I mean, probably minutes after you moved there. Or minutes after you came out of the womb, the doctor maybe said it. It's not. The doctor probably said, don't worry, sir.
Starting point is 00:07:18 It's not a. Wife's faithful. I watched a dude finger a girl there, like in his front yard. Just there was, he was like. Who, the duck? You? No, two brothers, Daryl and Darren, I think were their names. And I was like, in first grade, we used to play a game.
Starting point is 00:07:36 I don't know. I can't remember the name of the game. You'd throw the ball in the air and whoever caught it got tackled. What was it called? I forget it. Smear the something. Anyway, you never played that game? I'm not trying to. We didn't have that game. Hold on. Are you serious? I don't think Smear the something. Anyway, you never played that game?
Starting point is 00:07:45 I'm not trying to. We didn't have that game. Hold on. Are you serious? I don't think so, yeah. Oh, we did. It was called Smear the Queer. Smear the Queer. Yeah, and so they'd throw the, and by the way, so you'd throw it up, you'd catch it,
Starting point is 00:07:56 and they'd tackle you. My buddy rolled in dog shit on his neck one time when they tackled him. I'll never forget that. He rolled in dog shit on his neck and came up, and he's like, what's on my neck? And everyone's like, fuck, run! And the poor kid just walked home. Mom! But I walked up on this guy, Daryl or Darren.
Starting point is 00:08:14 I was in first grade, and I had my football. All I wore was a Speedo. That's it. Nothing else. Speedo. Still, that's the case. Still this day. And walked up on my football,
Starting point is 00:08:23 and he was full-blown fingering a chick in his front, like making out and fingering her on the grass in his front yard. And I was like, hey, you guys want to play football? And he's like, not now. And I was like, okay. And I just sat down next to them, and that was our neighborhood. Yeah, that sounds like a fun game. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Rolling dog shit. Smear the queer. Smear the queer. So what's the objective of Smear the Queer? Did not get tackled. Did not get tackled. So what's the objective of Smear the Queer? Did not get tackled. Did not get tackled. So what's the smear part? When they tackle you.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Oh. Yeah, and then once you get tackled, you stand up, and then you throw the ball in the air. Right. And then someone catches it and runs around. So what was it like growing up in such an inclusive, open-minded neighborhood? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Well, my dad got us out of there pretty quick. Yeah. Yeah, he got us out of there, and then we moved to a more, that was more redneck. And the next one was a little more Cuban influenced. It's not the right way to say it because there was just like two Cuban families, but they had all the boys. And then that one was out further in the sticks. So you'd get other boys from other neighborhoods that were real rednecks,
Starting point is 00:09:24 and they'd come in with like bb guns and be like hey you got to the count of 10 we're gonna hunt you and you'd be like another fun game yeah it was called manhunt yeah and you didn't play manhunt no man how we did yeah but we played with bb guns well that's in florida yeah yeah yeah you could still carry manhunt yeah and they were like and were like, well, we don't want to be hunted. Yeah. And then they'd be like, 10, 9, and you just ran. Who do you think is more Republican, rednecks or Cubans? Cubans.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Cubans. Without a fucking doubt. Because they have that cash row, that recent cash row wound, right? Yeah, without a fucking doubt. Right. Most that cash row, that recent cash row wound, right? Yeah, without a fucking doubt. Most conservative dudes I know are Cuban. The most conservative Trump,
Starting point is 00:10:14 now I'm talking about my best friends I grew up with, they're all dudes who ate acid, smoked weed, finger fucked in the back of a Jetta, party dudes, and they're all fucking Trumpers. Yeah, I always feel like a Romeo and Juliet story in Florida would be like being Cuban and bringing home a Democratic guy.
Starting point is 00:10:36 That would be like... Wait, wait, wait, a dude on dude? Either way. That's just not happening. Yeah, you can't do that. That's just not happening. But just like if you bring home like, you'd be like, hey, he's a good old Obama supporter.
Starting point is 00:10:45 They're like, that's like Romeo and Juliet. You can't, those two families can't get along. No, Cuban chicks are fucking hot. They're hot. They're a little big boned, which I like, but they are big. Well, you build up your back muscles when you swim. I think that and also their cuisine is.
Starting point is 00:11:01 You build up your back muscles. Cubans. Also their cuisine is like, there's nothing healthy in the cuisine. It's like all fried. Yeah, just butter, pork, all that shit. Yeah. Roscoe Pollo, Picadillo. Picadillo is my favorite fucking meal ever.
Starting point is 00:11:17 And it's basically just hamburger meat with some olives. Yeah. But it's fucking good. It is good. We had a Cuban. All our lunch ladies were all Cuban So we just yet we we just ate Cuban food every day in high school that they just made Cuban food They didn't make like any white people food. It's a Cuban food. It's a lot of Hamon. Yeah, I'm on and pickles ropa vieja
Starting point is 00:11:38 Cuban sandwiches always had Cuban sandwich. You know, he's gonna keep a sandwich. Yeah, but man, I love Cuban food Yeah, possibly the okay You can always get a Cuban sandwich. But man, I love Cuban food. Possibly the... Okay, what's the best... If you had to marry a woman based on her ethnicity, only picking what food you'd eat for the rest of your life, she's going to make that food. I could overlook the stash and the hairy legs for the Italian food. If she could cook a sauce from scratch...
Starting point is 00:12:01 Hold on, you said that real quick. Let's think this through. Okay. Because Italian is a good call. It is a good call on, hold on. You said that real quick. Let's think this through. Okay. Because Italian is a good call. It is a good call. But hold on. Like, Asian would be pretty fucking hot. I don't know if I could do Chinese food for the rest of my life.
Starting point is 00:12:12 That's tough, dude. That's going to be tough on your sodium. You can't. I can't do it. I can't do it, no. You should marry a vegan. You should marry a sober vegan. A white chick, white chick, white chick.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Just a white chick with a food page on Instagram. Who's like, this is how you make delicious zucchini linguine with hummus sauce and tahini vinegar. So Indian, Indian chick. Indian chick you can call. Indian chick. I don't know if I could do Indian every day. Yeah, I mean.

Starting point is 00:13:26 And it took a minute. It took a minute, and I had to go inside and come out to get it out. I think that's a lack of hydration or fiber. Lack of hydration? Oh my God. I have not drank any fucking water. I've just

Starting point is 00:19:25 I fucking love it, man. It's Republican. It's Democrat. It's purple. It's pretty Republican. Not a lot of Democrats, in my opinion. Maybe in Orlando? I think the cities were.
Starting point is 00:19:38 No, no, no. Miami is predominantly Republican. What about the old Jews? The old Jews there, they hold short. Okay, like Boca, Stewart, all down the coast, up top, from Hollywood up. But once you get to like Cocoa Beach,
Starting point is 00:19:52 it's going red again. And then it's all the way up to Jacksonville. That's where Leonard Skinner's from. Oh, Jacksonville's Georgia. Jacksonville's pretty badass too. Those rednecks. Those are like broken down cars in your front yard rednecks. Those are like broken down cars in your front yard rednecks. My wife's family

I'll tell you right now, if I want to have Captain Dave out on the boat, no fish are going to grow up. No, I'll tell you, no one's going to spill Diet Coke. No, I ain't drinking no Diet Coke. I ain't drinking no Diet Coke. You understand that, boy? What the fuck did your dad just say? Daddy said, when I met her, she was embarrassed to introduce me to her family.
Starting point is 00:20:35 I hope they'll never hear this. She was embarrassed to introduce me. They won't. They'll never hear this. They'll never hear this. No, they won't. That's why we started about podcasts, too. You can bury the worst.

Put it right in the middle of the road, and at two and a half hours, nobody's getting there. There was a guy who was doing Opie and Anthony, and at the end, they're all being crazy, and the last five minutes, he said he cheated on his wife. And she found out. And his defense was, you listened the last five minutes, he said he cheated on his wife. And she found out.

Starting point is 00:22:57 And I'm like, part of me is going, I'm not judging. I'm open-minded. I love her. So she goes, you sleep on the couch. I'm going to sleep in the crannier. Daddy's going to sleep in the bed. And it was all in the freezer. All in the freezer.
Starting point is 00:23:10 So they were all kind of right there. It was bigger than this room. It was bigger than this room, but it was in. He had built a false wall. He built a wall, put up sheetrock, and built a wall to close off the back of the freezer. So we go in there, and it's a little weird because you either hang out in this room by yourself
Starting point is 00:23:28 or you hang out in the convenience store. Is it a 24-hour convenience store? Not a 24-hour convenience store, but it's a small town, so people come into the convenience store because Leanne's in town, and they want to meet Leanne. She had written a script. Her dad had printed copies of the script and sold them for $5 a copy, and he made loot off them.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Wow. Yeah, it's a weird neighborhood or area, Georgia. He was hoping she was going to be his meal ticket kind of. I mean, so we're in the convenience store, and we're just sitting in the tables of the convenience store, and everyone's just coming in, hanging out, and everyone's hanging out in the convenience store. There's a washer.
Starting point is 00:24:04 He also had a washer and dryer place like a laundromat attached to the other side of the convenience store that he owned so then we go to dinner at cracker barrel we come home at the end of the night it was swear to god and uh just like he locks up he's like that's it and i was like what do we do now and he's like well you want a beer i was like yeah and he goes go grab one i was like i can just grab him out of the thing he's like yeah so i go and i'm like oh grab a tall boy i was like i eat like whatever i want in here and he's like yeah i was like shut the fuck up dude i've never been happier in my entire fucking life i ate like a fucking lunatic i tried shit i had never tried i'm just sitting in the field like
Starting point is 00:24:44 pig's feet let's eat one fucking's feet, let's eat one. Fucking deviled eggs, let's eat one. And it was ice cold and it was pitch black. There's no windows. So like you were in a cave. You'd get into that freezer, go to sleep, wake up, get up, have a cold beer, have a fucking Snickers bar, shut the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:25:00 My heart broke when he sold that fucking convenience store. That does sound like having to have carte blanche at a convenience store. Yeah. Yeah, one night you have ramen, then you have a little beef jerky. Oh, yeah, the beef. Then you smoke some Salem cigarettes, some menthols. Put a dip in, put a chew in.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Yeah. I was just loaded up. I was doing everything at that time. It was the best. And then people would come in, and they'd be like, I want to meet his boyfriend. And so I'd come out in my underwear in the convenience store what's up it was awesome it was the best man i'm i got so bummed that he sold that place but yeah that that area i mean that was like that it's fun it's funny shit i i
Starting point is 00:25:37 love going back there because it's almost like i don't know there was like no rules. It really is off the grid, like off the grid. It's like a very small town in Florida? No, in Georgia. In Georgia. In Georgia. It's called Bowdoin, Georgia. Which is sort of like Georgia and North Florida blend in, right? There's no difference.
Starting point is 00:25:57 It's all one area that Bobby Bowdoin is the king of. Right. And so this is more on the border of Alabama and Georgia. Her dad, at one point, my wife, true story, you're not going to believe this, went to a family reunion and ran into her boyfriend and said, what are you doing here? He was like, I'm Kim with the Gentries. She's like, I'm Kim with the Gentries. And she's like i'm kim with the gentries and her
Starting point is 00:26:25 daddy goes shit you can but you ain't blood you fine yeah you can but you ain't blood you can fuck first they didn't have sex they were just dating they were younger but that's the that you can but you ain't blood so you can you can have sex there's you'll probably have a kid yeah well i guess it's first cousin, it's possible, right? Is it like... No, okay, so... First cousin can go good, but it can also go bad. You can't do first cousin.
Starting point is 00:26:52 You can't do first cousin. That's blood. But it could come out okay. So, like, if... So... I mean, I know God says no, but you can't do it. No, no, I don't think so. I don't think blood is what...
Starting point is 00:27:03 On our marriage... No, but I'm saying you can actually perform it. You can do it. Oh, you can do it, No, no, I don't think so. I don't think blood is what, on our marriage. No, but I'm saying you can actually perform it. You can do it. Oh, you can do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's a chance that the baby will come out with one head. Yeah, no, you're going to get a Habsburg. You're going to get a Habsburg.
Starting point is 00:27:14 You're going to get a Habsburg. Yeah. So you're going to get hemophiliac with no chin. That's definite. That's definite. And you do not want one of those. Yeah. You, on our marriage certificate, in her hometown, when we got married,
Starting point is 00:27:28 the third question on the thing was, are you blood relatives? And I said, lady, what do I put for three? She goes, is you? I said, I don't think we is. She goes, then put down the chain. I go, I'm definitely not writing ain't because that means we is. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? That is crazy. There are places like that in the world where I go, I'm definitely not writing ain't, because that means we is. Yeah. Isn't that crazy?
Starting point is 00:27:46 That is crazy. There are places like that in the world where it's like there's just not a lot of options. You can't. You can't. In a town of like fucking 1,300 people, it's going to happen. That's why I don't know if like does true love exist, or is it more just about like what's available to you? Oh. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:28:01 I mean, I look at, you know, I mean this respectfully. You know what I mean? I mean, I look at, you know, I mean this respectfully. I didn't have the same options that you have to date. Like, my options were extremely limited. And I had to meet the person. I had to physically meet them to date them. Like, someone had to go, oh, you know who you should meet?
Starting point is 00:28:21 You're talking about because he's younger. Jared's younger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, because he's black. No. Yeah, of course, because he's black. Just wanted to make sure. Yeah. talking about because he's younger. Jared's younger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, because he's black. No. Yeah, of course, because he's black. Just wanted to make sure. Yeah, but your options are wide open. You can get on your phone.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Of course. And you can scroll and date a woman that never would have gotten in your circle if it wasn't for that phone. Right. So it's interesting when you talk about that because I think it does exist, but I think with the presented options,
Starting point is 00:28:44 I think it's actually harder because he's not, I don't mean it's disrespectful, but he's probably not willing to settle as quickly as I was. The best thing you could ever do is settle for something that is not the ideal
Starting point is 00:28:59 thing. It is so much more rewarding than holding out and being that guy that's waiting for your aaron rogers right yeah waiting for your tony romo waiting for like that's net that will never happen and the biggest problem is aaron rogers and tony romo are just as good you're gonna always be looking for tom brady you're not gonna find tom brady. Brady, I got Taylor Heineke, and I'm really happy. I don't think your wife's going to hear this either, right? No, she'll never listen.
Starting point is 00:29:33 I got a solid quarterback with a great arm. Big heart. Big heart. Fun as fuck. Yeah, yeah. Fun as fuck. Great sense of humor. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Good Instagram presence. Yeah, yeah. I met Taylor Heineke. He's a fucking. He's a cool dude. He's a badass motherfucker. Dude, yeah. Yeah, but. So met Taylor Heineke. He's a fucking badass motherfucker. Let's put it this way. If I said to you,
Starting point is 00:29:50 if I said to you, She's out of the league next year. Oh, she's retired, bro. She is retired. She's a journeyman. If I said to you tonight, you get to go to dinner with one football player, who do you want to go on? It can be Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, or Taylor Heineke.
Starting point is 00:30:08 You're never picking Taylor Heineke. No. Right? But I did, and I love it. Yeah. I love it because guess what? Guess what? No one else wants Taylor Heineke but me.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Me and Taylor Heineke, he's my fucking dude. He's very unique. And he's like, and you know what Taylor Heineke looks at me now, now where I am, and goes, hey man, I really appreciate you not picking Tom Brady. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:30:27 yeah. This is a good fucking analogy. Yeah, it's a really good analogy. So what did you get? Who did you draft? Oh man,
Starting point is 00:30:34 I, well here's the thing, my wife's 14 years younger so I got a franchise. Oh my God. I got Kobe. You got a franchise player? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:30:40 I got a franchise player straight out of high school. Holy shit, what the fuck were you thinking? We started recruiting her in middle school. She had a great fucking upside. Physical came back good.
Starting point is 00:30:49 We're rebuilding the franchise. We got rid of the veterans and we're going young. Oh, shit. Let's hope she doesn't blow out her knee. Yeah, she doesn't blow out her knee. What's her ethnicity?
Starting point is 00:30:59 She's Greek and Italian. Oh, shit. Yeah, she's half Italian, half Greek. Yeah, basically, you know, we're building around her. I like it. So far, so good. I think we got knocked out of the first round of playoffs last year,
Starting point is 00:31:12 but this year we're hoping to go all the way. I hope people listening understand that that is the best thing you can do. Now, that's interesting because having too many options is sometimes a bad thing, right? I had no options. I had a physical picture of her that was on our refrigerator. She had gone to Vegas with my roommate and a bunch of people. And he had taken a picture with her.
Starting point is 00:31:32 And when I saw her in that picture, I went, she's fucking hot. And he's like, oh, yeah. And then one day we walked to Runyon Canyon. And she was working in the office at the base of Taylor of Runyon Canyon with her roommate they were writing a script and I saw her and I went in and we tried to talk to her and she was a cunt I mean like a real fucking cunt my wife is legit like if you don't know her she can she can come off pretty aggressive and so I tried to talk to her and she just was like we're working and I was like okay and then I went to a yoga class with her, and her ex-boyfriend showed up.
Starting point is 00:32:06 He just dumped him, and he brought flowers to the yoga class. And she dressed him down in front of a fucking yoga class of, this is why we will never happen. You are sad. Did you think coming with a set of flowers in front of all these people, you're embarrassing yourself, and you're embarrassing me. Get the fuck out of here. And we were all like, ooh.
Starting point is 00:32:28 And then I sat next to her in yoga on accident. I put my Mattel, she put her down in Mattel next to me. I was like, stay away from this woman. And I sweat so much in that yoga class that she was laughing at me. She's like, what is wrong with you? And I go, I'm a sweater. And then we went bowling.
Starting point is 00:32:44 And like a week later we all went big group went bowling and she was like who is he he's cute and she gave me her number and i was like i'm not fucking with her i was like i'm staying the fuck away from her i was i also thought all women were whores at the time and so and i was like she just want to fuck you and get on because i was like she just had a boyfriend what's she doing doing? Probably because you just got hurt by a girl who did that, right? Yeah, that's how yeah, are you a therapist? Yeah Nobody goes to that full extent or they just go all in their whores unless there's some sort of burn And then I didn't call her. I wouldn't call her. And then she called my roommate.
Starting point is 00:33:26 She goes, hey, what's up with your roommate? He was supposed to take me out. And he was like, I don't know. And I just walked in from spin class, 186 pounds. I look fucking good. Wait, you're doing yoga? You're doing spin? Dude, have you ever seen me skinny?
Starting point is 00:33:38 No. Yeah, just pull up Bert Kreischer skinny. Skinny Bert Kreischer. This is what my wife got into, OK? And you're going to be like, shut the fuck up. You ever see those skinny pictures of Bobby Kelly? Yeah, right next to him. Yeah, look.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Let's take a peek. This one here? Yeah. That's you? Oh, yeah, look, that's Bobby. And look at Skinny Bert. Jesus Christ. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:35:33 This is why I picked Taylor Heineke, okay? My wife does this because I had been around with some prospects. And in New York, I come out to New York. And this girl that I thought I was going to marry, I thought I was going to marry, she This is Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson. So talented. So talented. And I've been
Starting point is 00:35:53 watching her for a while. I've been watching him for a while. What am I doing? I was like, that sounds creepy. I'm trying to do the analogy, but I'm fixing up analogy and reality. But Lamar Jackson was always looking to get traded to a different team. It never felt like he was happy at the Ravens. He was always like, I would love to play for the Falcons.
Starting point is 00:36:14 It would be fun to live in Atlanta, wouldn't it? And you're like, well, easy. Why don't you just enjoy the Ravens? And my wife was playing for the fucking, for the Colts. Yeah. And was like, and was loving the Colts. I love Indianapolis. And like every time we'd talk, she'd look me in the eyes and she was present and she forced me to be present.
Starting point is 00:36:36 And it was so cool to be with someone who didn't want something else because that's what I want. I want to be with people that want to be with me. You know? Anyone, it's the thing that sucks about this business when you, when you're not making money or you're not successful or you're not famous, people don't give you, they don't value you. They look over your shoulder and they're like looking down the hall. Oh, what's up Bobby? Hey, Bobby Kelly's here. And you're like, oh, okay. I thought we were talking that. I hated that about this. Oh, it's the worst. Well, you never got it.
Starting point is 00:37:05 I got it. I'm not saying that disrespectfully, but you'll never be a 44-year-old failure. Like, I was a 44-year-old failure. You're looking at one right now. Dude, you're one of the fucking biggest comics in the country. You're fucking one of the biggest podcasts in the country. You're one of the biggest, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:24 But I was fired from Travel Channel and didn't have a career. And no one respected me. And I was a nice guy. But the only people that looked me in the eyes and talked to me when we were at the store were my good friends, like Rogan, Joey, Tommy. People would look over my shoulder. I knew that feeling. I remember talking to one guy.
Starting point is 00:37:43 I won't say his name. I was talking to one guy. Jay Moore. his name but i was talking to one guy jay moore no that's not that guy jesus i was talking to one guy and uh and he just in the middle just i was talking he just walked away from me and i was like and i was like and he was like oh are you done and i was like wow i was like but that's my value that was my value and i had to assess my value at that moment and realize that that's what I meant to the community. I was saying this to someone the other day. I might have been saying it to Stefano, but there was a moment where I realized
Starting point is 00:38:16 if I quit comedy, no one would care. No one would be like, whatever happened to Bert? Everyone would just be like, well, he's gone. And there's a lot of guys that are still like that, but I had that. I had that opportunity to feel that. Because now if I quit comedy, people would be like, what the fuck? there's a lot of guys that are still like that but I had that I had that opportunity to feel that because now if I quit comedy
Starting point is 00:38:27 people would be like what the fuck what are you doing yeah yeah but my wife gave me that presence when I talked to her and let me tell you something
Starting point is 00:38:35 I know Taylor Heineke he does too he is awesome right so the analogy and the reality are true for Taylor Heineke for your wife
Starting point is 00:38:43 it all works together so you say it to all the kids out there having said that I've hung out with Aaron Rodgers he's pretty fucking awesome and the reality are true. For Tyler Heineken, for your wife, it all works together. So you say it to all the kids out there. Now having said that, I've hung out with Aaron Rodgers. He's pretty fucking awesome. He's pretty cool too, yeah. God damn it. God, am I going to cheat on Heineken
Starting point is 00:38:53 with Aaron Rodgers? Like if I meet an Aaron Rodgers, what do I fucking do? Well, are you the Jets? Because if you're the Jets, you're gonna. Yeah. Yeah, because I think
Starting point is 00:39:01 if you get the call from, no, your wife's great, she's gorgeous, you got a great family. Are you too? Now it's getting really like therapy. Don't cheat on your wife. No, she's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:39:12 I love her. She's the greatest. You got a prenup? Oh, no. No, so you can't leave now. It's like Chaz Palminteri in Bronx town. Now you just can't leave. No, no, no, I can't leave.
Starting point is 00:39:24 No, she's got, she doesn't. She probably wants you't leave. No, no, no, I can't leave. No, she's got, she doesn't, she knows. She probably wants you to leave. She probably goes, Bert, do something. She would fucking love it. She would start the second chapter of her life. Are you kidding me? She'd probably go, Bert, look at that hot piece of ass. Go get it.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Go, go, go, go, go, go. Just make sure you like and film it. Yeah, she knows where all the money is. I have no idea where the money is. I don't know how to do anything. Yeah. She just, she buys houses. I don't, how to do anything. She just, she buys houses. I don't fucking.
Starting point is 00:39:47 You know, that's, I just want to say something earnest about that though because that is, it really feels, like that's the best thing
Starting point is 00:39:53 when comics help you out. You LA guys are really great about that. You've been great to me about that. Yeah, but you're funny. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:40:00 But it's, you guys don't, I think in New York sometimes everyone's like, I want to be the goat. I want to be the goat. I want to be the goat. It's like, dude, nobody's the goatAT. I want to be the GOAT. I want to be the GOAT. It's like, dude, nobody's the GOAT.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Everyone's funny. Just help each other out. We have control now. It's such a nice, welcoming, warm vibe that you guys, you know, you come in here. It helps me a lot, so I appreciate it. You didn't have to make this stop on the way to JFK. I know you just did it because it was convenient. You were looking at the road.
Starting point is 00:40:21 You're going, all right, that's on the way. No, there's people that it's selfish, but I operate out of a customer operation. So I look at everything as a customer, as a fan. But if I take in a lot of content, and if you make me laugh, then you're on my radar. And then I go – and you made me laugh very early, very, very, very early. I think even before your live special, like well before that. And secret time, there was – my bar I went to in college was called Yanni's. Oh, there you go. So when I heard your name, I went, oh, I want to check them out.
Starting point is 00:41:06 It brought out a warm feeling. But I loved your live special you did that you put on YouTube, and I loved you on any time you're on a podcast, you made me laugh hysterically. Thanks. And so I was like, and so that registers on my radar,
Starting point is 00:41:19 and then what I do, and this is selfish, is I find the people that I know that make me laugh because I know they're making other people laugh. And then I try to be associated with them. And so that's why I do that fully loaded festival. That's why I was on Rogan. Dude, Rogan, I loved Rogan's show fucking 12 years ago. When he was doing it with the snowflakes coming down, I loved it.
Starting point is 00:41:39 I loved it. I listened to it all the time on Travel Channel. And when I had an opportunity to do it, I was like, fuck yes, because I knew I loved it. So I figured other people must love it too, and if I can be in that situation, then maybe they'll love me. So that's the way I looked. Hot Ones, perfect example.
Starting point is 00:41:53 I fell in love with Hot Ones like fucking six years ago, seven years ago. We used to talk to Sean Evans before anyone knew about the show. I was like, I know I like it. I know cool people like it. That's the way I operate. Right now I'm trying to figure a thing I can do with girls on only fans because I know that I like those girls. And I, and so I know that there are cool people that like those girls too. So if I can come up with a show to associate myself with a TV show, because I have the
Starting point is 00:42:20 opportunity to do that. I have an opportunity to make a TV show or something that, that they would want. And then I could associate with them, and then all those guys that like them would see me and go, oh, I love, like, it's kind of a selfish way to operate a business, but it's also very mom and pop-like. Like, just, it's like open up a fucking sandwich shop next to a great butcher.
Starting point is 00:42:39 Yeah. You learned that from your father-in-law. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You had the laundry man and the convenience store. Yeah, it's like, they're gonna spill food on their clothes. Let's wash them. the laundry mat and the convenience store it's like they're gonna spill food on their clothes yeah well i mean it's selfish but it's also you're helping people out i mean yeah we're not social workers you're not a social worker but someone's got to be funny or yeah but i know i can be funny around a funny person also like i'm like trust me there's
Starting point is 00:42:58 people there's people i like like i won't say their names but there's podcasts i listen to where i they're not they're not funny but i still listen to the podcast and i and they ask me sometimes and i go i'm gonna i don't know if i don't know if i'm i'm not serious dude like i don't know if i'm gonna be good on it right so i just like i can't do the analogy i can't say shit that i can say to you right you understand it's a joke yeah and they understand it's a joke sometimes they're like like, so wait, do you love your wife? And I'm like, shut the fuck up. I cum in her, okay? Yeah. I don't cum things I don't love.
Starting point is 00:43:32 That should be a shirt. I'm sorry you had to hear this, Victoria. She's so comfy on the beanbag. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Beanbags are underrated. That woman will change your life. She's fucking Aaron Rodgers. You want me to leave my wife?
Starting point is 00:43:45 She will change. Man, if you're a comedian, if you're a comedian and you're listening to this, you should wife up Victoria immediately. Here we go. She is a game changer. Will you marry me, Victoria?
Starting point is 00:43:57 I'm looking for something new. My wife won't hear this either. Trust me. She stopped listening to my shit a long time ago. That's the good thing about being with someone. Me and me my wife been together nine years I stopped being her favorite comic like eight years and nine months ago. Oh, yeah
Starting point is 00:44:11 I am so far from my wife's favorite comic so far her favorite comic without a doubt is David tell Without a doubt got great taste. Yeah. Well when she first met me she said You're not my wife's pretty brutal. She's like, you should be funnier than that. And I was like, huh? She's like, you're like, it's really dumb. What you're saying is really dumb. You should be, I think you're smarter than what you're doing on stage.
Starting point is 00:44:39 And I was like, it works. It's like, you can't explain to someone, I'm young and it fucking works. And I'm trying to figure it out and so i didn't know i didn't know if i should i didn't know if i should value her sense of humor and i could not love her because i agreed with her a little bit but i if if she was just a bad taste of comedy and was like god you know who i love have you heard of yakov smirnoff and i'm like oh my fucking god so i put in skanks for the memories in my car didn Didn't say anything. I was testing her.
Starting point is 00:45:07 This is how I was going to find out if I could marry this chick. I put in skanks for the memories in the car. And she was crying laughing. And I was like, she's like, what is this? I go, this is David Tell. And so I test her out. I put in Brian Regan, crying laughing. Her favorite comics are, she's not a fan of toms she she she does not like
Starting point is 00:45:28 two bears one cave she uh but she loves ian bag she loves uh david tell she loved mitch headberg and it's funny i did i introduced him to my daughters my oldest daughter adores david tell right very analytical brain my youngest daughter's like analytical brain. My youngest daughter likes him. But my youngest daughter's favorite comic is Mitch Hedberg. And then I said, my older daughter said about Mitch Hedberg, she goes, is this guy high? And I said, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:55 She goes, so he does drugs. And I said, yeah. She goes, is he still alive? I said, no. She goes, how did he die? I said, drug overdose. She goes, so this is sad, technically. And I was like, well, you're taking the fucking fun out of it. I was like, Jesus, don't follow my career. Yeah, you don't want to think about the sausage being made when you're eating the sausage.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Yeah, Jesus Christ. I mean, the heroin helped him for a while. I mean, it helped him do that. I mean, there's, look, I don't know, whatever. I'm not going to say anything. But like, I. I want you to say it now. Whatever that is, it's going to be good.
Starting point is 00:46:26 All right, let it out. Let it out. There's something sexy about it. Yeah. Like, okay, let's take a, let's take a. Shit, yeah, maybe you should have kept that in. Don't kill yourself, kids. There's something sexy about it.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Like, I mean, you probably, were you doing stand-up when Mitch was alive? Yes. Okay. I was young in it, but yeah. So I was not young in it but yeah so i was not young in it i was on the road and you would hear story there was an allure about him he had no social media presence you know you just hear stories like you know they pulled him over at the fucking houston airport and he almost lost his leg and you're like what there i don't mean
Starting point is 00:46:59 this in a bad way but there is something sexy to someone who's out of control, and there's something Google-able about it. I mean, I'm being serious, and I wonder if in therapy I've been drawn to it because, like, John Belushi, right? Chris Farley. Like, these legends that have – there's something – Artie, there's something sexy to hearing these stories. Yeah. Jim Morrison.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Dude. Same with rock and roll, right? Same with rock and roll. Oh, okay, you ready? You want to get right? Same with rock and roll. Oh, okay. You ready? You want to get deep? You want to get deep? Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Very deep. I brought this up to Pete the other day. Hold on. Do we all like Foo Fighters? I do love Foo Fighters, yeah. Did you like Nirvana? Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:38 It's amazing that he was the drummer of that band. Two legendary bands. It's like nuts. Yeah. However, had Kurt Cobain never killed himself, would we have ever gotten Foo Fighters? And, and. No, we wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:47:53 What if, what if, let me go even further. If we didn't have slavery, would we have rap music? Would we have great art? We have great art. Would we have great music? Would we have great art? We have great art. Would we have great music? Would we have break dancing? I think the beauty is people can turn struggle into something beautiful. That's what's allurable about it.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Yeah. Even if they kill themselves and die in a bathtub. Or even if they get whipped for eating chicken. But take a look at all those bands that were big at the time and then just kind of just... And then you're like, I don't know. I'm not a fan. I don't really follow them anymore. Look at Hole. Great fucking band. And then you look at her now and you're like, I don't know. I'm not fans. I don't really follow them anymore.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Like, look at Hole. Great fucking band. And then you look at her now, and you're like, okay, that's great. But like almost what's crazy is in the most legendary way, Kurt Cobain preserved all this art for the rest of your life.
Starting point is 00:48:39 It will be one of the greatest rock bands ever. And then selflessly gave us another great fucking rock band selflessly i think when he was pulling the trigger he's like i can't keep holding david growl back anymore i'm doing it for you dave i'm doing for you dave growl but like there is a thought bubble in that right you go without without that act he he cements himself as a legend. Right. Cements himself.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Cements himself and then gifts the world, there goes my hero. Ordinary! Dude, what a fucking, like... I can't hear that song without opening my windows and screaming it out the door. If Tom Segura overdoses on Ozempic. And then we start one bear, one Greek. And it's the greatest fucking thing of all time.
Starting point is 00:49:36 Tom did a selfless act by making us fucking do one bear, one. What would it be called? One Greek bear. The fig and the. The fig and the... The fig and the orzo. What do you guys call bears? Yeah, I don't know. Probably orzo.
Starting point is 00:49:51 Orzo, maybe, yeah. That sounds right. I don't speak Greek, but I speak make-believe Greek. Wait, was I speaking make-believe languages the other day? I don't know. Let me call Leanne. Yeah, Jameson will do that to you. Wait, what?
Starting point is 00:50:05 Oh, I was doing it. I was faking make-believe Spanish. How much of your life do you remember at this point? I have a lot going on, so I remember a lot of it, but I don't remember stories. Like, my closing bit on the special, I did not remember it. Like, I was on stage, and George, my oldest, called.
Starting point is 00:50:23 FaceTimed me. She's in college, so I answered immediately. I was like, what's up? She goes, what are you doing? I said, I'm on stage. She goes my oldest, called and FaceTimed me. She's in college, so I answered immediately. I was like, what's up? She goes, what are you doing? I said, I'm on stage. She goes, oh, okay. I love you. And I go, she goes, what bit are you telling?
Starting point is 00:50:31 And I said, I'm not telling anything. I'm talking to you. And she goes, you should tell the escape room. I go, what's that? She goes, you remember when we went to the escape room? I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, what happened? She goes, well, we brought Papa because Isla and I wanted to see him lose his shit.
Starting point is 00:50:42 I went, oh, yeah. And then everyone laughs. And she goes, and we wanted you to have a panic attack i go yeah she goes and then we you guys thought we were in a serial killer's house and i was like oh yeah yeah yeah and she was like and then papa threw nana on the floor and i go yeah yeah yeah she goes mom solved all the clues and then you shit in papa's mouth and i'm like oh my god no keep going keep going keep going and then and i go how did it end she goes i don't don't remember, and hung up. I went, fuck, it isn't ending. But like, so I don't remember. I can't really tag good stories while they're happening.
Starting point is 00:51:11 I need someone to go, oh, you know what you should tell is that. And I'll go, oh, yeah, yeah, that would be good. It sparks your memory. You do got it. You like being this busy? Yeah. Yeah. I couldn't imagine not.
Starting point is 00:51:21 You're on the road every day. You're doing the festival with all those funny comics. You got the movie coming out. You got the movie coming out. You got the special coming out. Then you fly into Austin. You do Two Bears with Tom. Then you party with everyone in America all the time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:33 You're a busy guy. I'm flying to Vegas tonight. Tom and I are doing a show tomorrow morning. Then we fly back to New York. I saw that. It's going to be awesome. Producing Shane Torres' special out at the Salton Room. And then we fly back.
Starting point is 00:51:44 Tom and I do Two Bears from L.A. Monday, Tuesday. I go back out on the Sultan room. And then we fly back. Tom and I do two bears from LA Monday, Tuesday. I go back out on the road. I am on the road for three more weeks. Then I go to Australia. I come back from Australia. I got the movie premiere. Nice. But I love it. I love it. I mean, look, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:51:59 And I don't mean to harp on this, but I was blessed to be a failure in this business. Because once you know no one gives a fuck and you've got to carve your way out, then when shit happens, you're like, I'm not letting go of this tiger's tail. Right, right, right. If it fucking bites, I don't give a fuck. Right. I'm making hay while the sun shines.
Starting point is 00:52:18 Right. Well, you are. The movie, you know, Machine, it's based on the viral clip, The Machine. It looks fun and fucking funny. It's fucking awesome. I mean, it's a fun movie. It's an adventure comedy, so I don't think anyone expected that. It's a reimagining of the story.
Starting point is 00:52:36 So, like, when I sold it, I went into the room and I pitched three other movies that were all really good. I pitched one last night to one of my directors, and he was like, can we make this? I had three good pitches. And then the guy, Cale, goes, all right, I'll make one. I go, what? And he goes, I'll make one. Which one do you want to make? I was like, what?
Starting point is 00:52:53 And he goes, I'll make a movie with you. Let's do it. And I was like, ah. I go, well, fuck. I go, honestly, man, if you're saying I get to make a movie, you're giving me $30 million, then I'm making The Machine. And he goes, why not? And I said, because i'm afraid
Starting point is 00:53:05 if i make it that it'll be big and it'll get popular and the mafia will see it and they'll get mad and they'll fucking kidnap but there's some sexiness and he goes sold yeah i said what he goes sold sold that's our your movie that's your movie it's the hangover meets the godfather too oh i was like i didn't even understand it. When I walked out of the room, I went, what the fuck did we just sell? And then we made it. And it's fucking, what's crazy is there were two trailers. The trailer, well, there's a teaser, which I leaked on Rogan. There's a trailer.
Starting point is 00:53:39 And then they had another trailer that had all the jokes from the movie in it. You know when you see one of those and then you go see the movie you're like oh man well i wanted that one because it was such a good fucking trailer and our director is like no we're not using that one because it'll ruin the movie and i and i even though i hate when they do that i wanted them to do that i didn't give a fuck and they didn't they did one more but there's only like one joke from the movie in it and the trailer was really popular it went viral viral. Everyone was really excited. And so, yeah, Memorial Day weekend in theaters. You can go to themachine.movie to go see it.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Get your tickets pre... I'm also doing a thing where we're pre-selling tickets so that we can sell it out before it even hits theaters so you don't have to wait day of and see what your box office numbers are. So if you want to support the movie, go to themachine.movie. It looks really fun.
Starting point is 00:54:23 It's exciting, funny. You look like you're great in it. It's a great story. And Luke Skywalker's in it. Yeah. That's tough. His real name is Bruce Hamill? Mark Hamill.
Starting point is 00:54:32 Mark Hamill. Shit, that sucks. That sucks that I called him Luke Skywalker. God damn it. He doesn't care. He's cool as shit. That's fucking,
Starting point is 00:54:39 because I know Harrison Ford's real name. That's what sucks about it. Why did that happen? Why did Luke Skywalker, he's a star of the show, and why is he still Luke Skywalker? If Harrison Ford killed himself, he wouldn't know Mark Hamill real name. That's what sucks about it. Why did that happen? Why did Luke Skywalker, he's a star of the show, and why is he still Luke Skywalker? If Harrison Ford killed himself, he wouldn't know Mark Hamill's name. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:50 That's true. Maybe that's what happened. But there's a dangerousness about Harrison Ford that Tom Selleck didn't have. Like, Tom Selleck's great. He's great. Right. But there's something. They wanted Tom Selleck to play the part. Great.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Right. But there's something, they wanted Tom Selleck to play the part. And you can see, I think you can see Mark, Harrison Ford read with other actors who they wanted to play. There's like. Solo? Yeah, yeah. Mark told me, Mark Hamill, he told me everything. He told me so much behind the scenes gossip that I was like, shut the fuck up. And then finally they were like,
Starting point is 00:55:27 I think there's audition tapes of Harrison Ford reading for the other parts for the other people, like running sides with them. And I think they wanted Tom Selleck, but there's nothing, there's something dangerous. There's something like, that's the thing about art. I'm not going to use comics names, but I wish I could because then you'd get it you go say we'll bleep it Promise you believe it poor problem. I don't want to get of course like a bleep it right so fucking talented
Starting point is 00:55:53 So fucking talented, but he works out really hard. He takes care of his body And you know like there's no drugs. There's no alcohol. There's no you need like a little flaw need a fucking flaw Yeah, yeah, you need a fucking flaw yeah yeah you need a fucking flaw you gotta be broken a little bit right people go god i kind of want to catch it you know but you can't have too much of flaws right like you can't be like you know obviously there's some people who had some big flaws that came out and everyone's like so but yeah you need a little a little something a little razzle dazzle. What's me? If you were analyzing me, what should I play up and what should I play down? Am I broken enough?
Starting point is 00:56:29 What's the problem with me? Sell me. Sell me. Fix me. Be my manager. Tell me what to do. The thing is, you're really dangerous and you're raw. Because you grew up here, there are things that the way you behave is very localized
Starting point is 00:56:43 to this area. And people in other parts of the country are like whoa he said that you're like and we grew up around everyone you know like whoa there's a dangerous and you're smart as fuck that's the other thing you guys are all a hundred times smarter than any of us like especially out in la and even my generation of comics i don't buy that though you're very smart you guys give a fuck oh i'm smart in a different way you guys are smart about everything. You guys know
Starting point is 00:57:07 Harambe shit. I don't know who that fucking is. You know? Jeffrey Epstein. I don't really give a fuck about him. I don't know personally. No, but you guys know his thing. Ooh, did you hear about the financial crisis? I was like, is that a big thing?
Starting point is 00:57:24 You guys know about COVID. And I was like, I'll say he's had a big thing. Like, you guys know about COVID. And I was like, I got it seven times. Right, right. So, but do you think New Yorkers could benefit a little more from marketing or thinking about that shit? Like, what do people think about us? No, it's why you guys are so successful is because you guys are unapologetically you. You're unapologetically who you are.
Starting point is 00:57:47 There's a part about LA Comics, and I'm one of those, but there's a part of me that is a little apologetic, that I definitely don't take big swings on big topics because I don't like the heat and I don't give a fuck. I'm also not interested in a lot of shit. You'd be shocked what I'm interested in. Spice Girls or something like that? HBCU cheerleaders.
Starting point is 00:58:08 That's my big thing right now. Gay dudes on TikTok. I'm really into gay dudes. Boat launch videos. Boat crashes. I'm a real... Puerto Ricans getting their hair cut. I'm a real simple guy.
Starting point is 00:58:20 I'm a simple guy. That's just so fucking specific and niche. You just sit there watching Puerto Ricans get their hair cut. Yeah. You just love it? I could go to Spanish Harlem right now and sit in a barbershop and just be like, can you go tighter? Can you go tighter?
Starting point is 00:58:36 No, I'll pay for it. I just want to watch. Is there something oddly soothing about watching a boat pull in? Oh, my God. Are you being serious? Yeah, no, I'm serious. Oh, you should follow Tug Life. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:45 Tug Life is like the best fucking, Tug Life, I literally this morning, I definitely this morning, I watched every single one of their videos. I got to the end of Instagram on Tug Life. Like all fucking, dude, pirates trying to attack a boat. A boat running into another boat.
Starting point is 00:59:00 A boat sliding under a boat. Oh my God. You love it, huh? Dude, and do not get me started on hbcu cheerleaders by the way i want to oh dude they all started following me because i because i love it i love it i love it it is so fucking uh it get it's the energy I want to bring into every one of my days. You kind of do. An HBCU cheerleader squad, it'll start with one young lady who instigates the cheer.
Starting point is 00:59:38 You say you want no problems, but you talk like you do. And then two more girls will stand up, and they'll be in unison. You say you want no problems, but you talk like you do. And then the whole group pops up. You say you want no problems, but you talk like you do. You talk like you do. You want to get bucked? You want to?
Starting point is 01:00:01 I mean, it is fucking so. I mean, dude, I watch HBCU cheerleaders battle back and forth. Go to my Instagram. Go to my Instagram right now. Go to my Instagram right now. Jared, do you know about these? Yeah. Oh, dude. I mean, and by the way, they all follow me now

Kiss And it was pretty fucking phenomenal. They just throw some flavor in it. Kissing my wife is like licking an envelope. Or scissor lips. So these are
Starting point is 01:01:13 Howard University cheerleaders? I'm telling you right now. They do these things at basketball games where one side is one team and the other side is the other team, and it is a straight-up fucking dance-off. And there is attitude, and there is razzle-dazzle, and there's so much going on that I stopped a woman in a coffee shop in Queens yesterday. I was talking about it, and this woman was overhearing it. And I said, hold on.
Starting point is 01:01:44 And she goes, what is HBCU? I said, Historically Black Colleges and Universities. She goes, oh. Now, we're in New York, so she's like, oh, yes, yes, I support, or whatever. And I go, hold on. Do you know what I'm talking about? She goes, no. And I said, so can I show you what I'm talking about?
Starting point is 01:01:57 And I showed her. I showed her. I think I just showed you on my phone. I showed her this video, and this woman went, oh my God, I want this in my algorithm. Oh, okay, hold on. We'll put it in post. Take a look at this. Don't give up, don't give up.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Don't give up, don't give up. Dare to give up, or to step up and get fucked. Okay, that's one. Look at this, look at this, look at this. Is this, it seems a little borderline illegal for me to be looking at this. No, no. These are college. Okay, cool.
Starting point is 01:02:34 I mean, it's fucking addictive. It gets you hyped up. It gets you hyped up. It gets you hyped up. I wish I had that. I wish I woke up to that. Is that what you... Did you name your special Razzle Dazzle because these girls got Razzle Dazzle?
Starting point is 01:02:45 No. I named it Razzle Dazzle. I try to name specials based on things that come out of my mouth a lot. So Secret Time, I say Secret Time to everyone. Secret Time, Secret Time, Secret Time. I've been saying that my whole, I love telling secrets. I love talking gossip about comedy and us and all that.
Starting point is 01:02:59 So I named Secret Time, Secret Time, and I thought a nice little thing would be to sprinkle in secrets throughout the special, and then that way I could get little – it was a quick way to get jokes. That's cool. Yeah, and then that was Secret Time. Hey, big boys, what my daughters would say to me, and I thought that was a good name for a special. Razzle Dazzle is a phrase that I learned probably like 14 years ago.
Starting point is 01:03:21 I was on Travel Channel. I was working for a show called Trip Flip, and we had this guy on our team named John Burstyn. He was a straight dude. He was our production manager, so he handled all the money. He was a straight dude, but he had a gay affectation. I hope he'll never hear this. But, hey, just throw money at it. Oh, just, you got to make money to spend.
Starting point is 01:03:41 You got to spend money to make money. So our first night of eating dinner was like a group of 11. The lady goes, what can I get you? And she goes, you guys want some appetizers? He goes, oh, just razzle dazzle. She goes, what's that mean? He goes, what do you think it means? Razzle dazzle, honey.
Starting point is 01:03:56 Bring it out. And she brought out the best appetizers. And from that day on, I've said razzle dazzle. Anytime I go to McDonald's, I put $200 down, and I go razzle-dazzle. They go, what does that mean? I go, what do you think it means? What does it mean to you?
Starting point is 01:04:09 Razzle-dazzle. I've said, and I love that energy. I love the energy of being a little outside the box, not giving a fuck. Like, one of the bits is in the special about a raffle, but I'm really big at raffles and auctions. Like, we went to a silent auction not a silent auction but an auction for our school the girls school and the head nun sister donna sat down

Starting point is 01:08:56 Wherever we were, passport control was a fucking nightmare. Man, I'm going back. It was that much fun. Man, you would fucking love it. They all speak English. Everyone spoke perfect English. It was that much fun. Man, you would fucking love it. I got to get over it. They all speak English.
Starting point is 01:09:06 Everyone spoke perfect English. It was the day the king died. Oh, it was? Yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah, that's when we were there. He had just died, and they were having his funeral. And so it was crazy.
Starting point is 01:09:18 It was gorgeous. I love Greece. Yeah, Greece is great. Well, guys, go. The Machine's May 25th, right right there's pre-sale like you said the machine dot movie you can pre-sell and buy your tickets and and i and i say this i put this in the universe but i do believe if the machine does well you will start seeing all your favorite comics making movies absolutely because that's all you need is just one. Just one to convince Hollywood and then all of a sudden, I mean, I'm not even joking,
Starting point is 01:09:49 you'll see Tim Dillon will have a movie, I actually can guarantee that. Me and Tom will do Fat Astronauts, that's already kind of in the works. And you'll just start seeing people being able to make movies because you can do it at a low price point for a comic, our brains are so different than theirs. And we provide such a valuable insight. I'll give you a small example. On my movie, the opening scene takes place on a set. They built it.
Starting point is 01:10:19 So we shoot it, and then I go, I mean, I rewrote it that night. And I was like, it should be hard. Indies come in hard. It's got to be really hard. So I rewrote it that night and I was like, it should be hard. It needs to come in hard. It's got to be really hard. So I rewrote it, gave it to the director. I go, can we just do that as an option? And he was like, let's just do that.
Starting point is 01:10:31 I like that better. And I was like, fucking great. And so then I go, I get done. We had done the scene and I go, hold on one second. Are we just done done? And he was like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:39 I go, can you just leave the cameras up and then let's just shoot one more scene maybe for the end of the movie or in the middle of the movie like let's just use this set let's milk this set and get it again and they're like what do you mean i go like if we start here wouldn't be cool if we ended here or maybe maybe something like that and they're like i yeah i guess and i go okay let's shoot an ending in the movie and so we did and they fucking used it and so you like, and our brains work like that. Right, right. We're sitting in a former living room kitchen making a show that has a huge income profit
Starting point is 01:11:09 based off of this. I mean, this is how our brains work. You're right, yeah. Our brains are like, hey man, we've got our investment, now let's just make money. Put us in a movie set and if they said to you $10 million,
Starting point is 01:11:22 can you make a movie? You'd be like, easy, easy, easy. $5 million, easy. We spent $30 million on the machine. And I mean, there's parts you're never going to get away from with that. But like our brains, we at one point, me and Tom almost signed a fucking 10 picture deal. Because they were like, you like you guys can you guys should be like cranking these out like you can have like a movie come out every fucking year
Starting point is 01:11:51 for the next 10 years and because your our comics were creative as fuck we are we are hard fucking workers we are would love the opportunity we're all like give us a chance so i think if the machine does well from my mouth to god's ears we will all be doing movies for the next. We're all like, give us a chance. So I think if the machine does well, from my mouth to God's ears, we will all be doing movies for the next 20 years. We all have an investment in this movie doing well. I see what you're saying, and I like it. All it takes is one. Maybe this is what's coming next, is comedians just fucking making movies the way.
Starting point is 01:12:17 And you're right. Look at what we've done with nothing. We've created these podcasts. They're all profitable. People love them. Dude, we are bigger. We create our own acts. We do it all. We market ourselves. We do these podcasts. They're all profitable. People love them. Dude, we are bigger. We create our own acts. We do it all.
Starting point is 01:12:26 We market ourselves. We do fucking everything. We do. Dude, they've let me market the shit out of this fucking movie. And you know you're doing. It was on a fucking, it was on a shelf. And I leaked it on Rogan. And then it got picked up by Sony.
Starting point is 01:12:37 And then they were like, hey, do you want to make an announce video for it? I was like, fuck yeah. I post it. It goes viral. It's like, dude that they are seeing this on such a micro level right now that the second that the second this does well they're gonna go and here's the other thing we've got authentic voices that are not being represented in movies right now every i don't know if you've noticed this every fucking movie that just came out, guess what the occupation of the guy
Starting point is 01:13:05 that is in the lead is? A fucking podcaster. Jonah Hill, you people, podcaster. And they're all fucking podcasters. They're all goddamn fucking, to one that B.J. Novak just made, where he has to, What's it called?
Starting point is 01:13:24 B.J. Novak? Yeah, he just did a movie. He's a podcaster in it. His goal is to be a podcaster. Novak just made where he has to... What's it called? BJ Novak? Yeah. He just did a movie. He's a podcaster in it. His goal is to be a podcaster. They're making movies about people hoping they have an authentic voice when the authentic voice is right fucking here. No shade on BJ Novak.
Starting point is 01:13:36 It's a great fucking movie. It's a great fucking movie. I wish I could remember the name of it. It's a great fucking movie. Have you seen it? No, I haven't. It's a great fucking movie. It is a gangster fucking movie.
Starting point is 01:13:46 What's the name of it? Vengeance. He's a podcaster. They're all podcasters. Every lead's a goddamn podcaster. Does that clock not move? No, that doesn't move. That's so funny. I'm like, God damn it, am I high? I'm standing still.
Starting point is 01:14:01 It is 11.42 in the morning. I'm so bad. I didn't even look at the time. I'm telling you. I'm only here, it is 11.42 in the morning. I'm so bad. I didn't even look at the time. But I'm telling you. I'm only here one day a week. Imagine. Look, I'll use Nia Vardalos as an example.
Starting point is 01:14:15 She was a brilliant talent with an authentic voice. And that is when they were allowing that to happen. They were making indie films and giving authentic voices to people. How much fun. Let's not use us, Andrew Schultz. If they give him $20 million to make a movie, how fucking hard
Starting point is 01:14:34 do you think you're gonna laugh? You're literally, there will be moments where you grab each other's chest like, the fuck are they doing? What the fuck are they doing? Because that's his sensibility.
Starting point is 01:14:43 The only thing is if you gave him $20 million, I would be scared that he wouldn't make the movie and he'd just start a pack for a presidential campaign. Yeah. That's the only thing. He might be president.
Starting point is 01:14:52 I think he could take over a country with $20 million. Yeah. He's a unique fucking he's like you man just unique dude. Unique fucking guy. Make it happen.
Starting point is 01:15:01 You're right. Comedians make it happen. Schultz made it happen. Just creative. Dude, look at us. Look at what we did with specials, right? We, when I started this, when I started in this business, 2009, I got a special. I got paid 10 grand and went on Comedy Central.
Starting point is 01:15:16 That's how it was done. 10 grand. Comedy Central. They aired it once. And then. Was that the hour? It was an hour. It was an hour.
Starting point is 01:15:23 It was called Comfortably Dumb. No one's ever seen it. No, it's now sitting. Yeah, Comedy Central is a great place to hide your special. Yeah. If you want to hide it. Yeah, that's how it was done. That's how it worked.
Starting point is 01:15:33 And then all of a sudden, we were all like, huh? And then fucking Netflix shows up. We all start putting out Netflix festivals. And then guys like you and Schultz are like, wait, fuck that. I'm not waiting for somebody. I'll make my own special. And now the game has changed so much that, dude, I really honestly don't know. I'm sure my special is probably competing with fucking Sam Morrell's special that he just released.
Starting point is 01:15:56 I guarantee you that's the way the game is, is the bars, the fields even. I mean, Netflix used to be the destination for specials. We just said, fuck it, let's do our own thing. Moment House, YouTube, Nate Bargossi's on Amazon. It's a fucking, and that's going to happen with movies. That's going to fucking happen with movies. It'll happen with sitcoms first. Yeah, you know, I've never heard it put like,
