#727 - Bill Burr

[0] Portroom on a show.

[1] And we're live.

[2] This is what I love about Bill Burr.

[3] You're not like a regular comedian.

[4] I mean, you're a great comic, but you do shit.

[5] You do a lot of shit.

[6] You don't just sit around and get lazy and fuck off.

[7] It's the ADD.

[8] You make cakes.

[9] You made pie, homemade pie from scratch.

[10] Bill Burr brought in pumpkin pie that I can't wait to dig into.

[11] It smells fucking fantastic.

[12] That's a pumpkin pie.

[13] It's a cream pie and an apple pie.

[14] It's really, smells fucking awesome Oh yeah, it's a butter base crust I switched over I switched over I used to, my parents The one that we grew up on Was shortening like Crisco Right And I thought I had too much salt in it and stuff So when I bought the big green egg Which is this insane thing That it's impossible to fuck up on Yeah, I'm actually learning how to smoke me This guy's been helping me out And I just been on the road So I'm going to try starting back up again This month But I came with this giant cookbook.

[15] Like I made this turkey pot pie and everything that tasted fucking insane.

[16] From scratch.

[17] Yeah, but the crust is on the one from the big green egg is the recipe that I use, which is two scoops of flour, an eighth of a teaspoon of salt, and then it's like a whole stick of butter.

[18] And then there's a little bit of shortening, like the Crisco shit in there.

[19] But so it's not like mine was, it was too greasy, too salty.

[20] This one is like that flaky, the fucking awesome crust.

[21] Yeah, it's the best.

[22] So you're like, you're like a chef.

[23] You're like actively cooking.

[24] It's like a regular thing for you.

[25] Oh, Bill Baker.

[26] I like it.

[27] I like degrees of difficulty and I actually learned a lot.

[28] Back when the Food Network was awesome.

[29] Like the Food Network is going on the same trajectory that MTV went on.

[30] You know what I mean?

[31] Like it started off MTV.

[32] It was music videos.

[33] And then now I don't even know what the fuck it is.

[34] It's teenage pregnancy.

[35] There's no music on it anymore.

[36] The Food Network used to be top chefs.

[37] teaching you how to cook.

[38] Now it's a lot of just, you know, they're fighting, they're competing with each other.

[39] Like, I don't even know what goes on in this.

[40] And it's a lot more personality driven.

[41] Like that diners driving and dives guy, you know what I mean?

[42] I don't know what that is.

[43] What is that?

[44] He's he just, you know, he drives around to these greasy spoons and he lets you know what's up.

[45] And, uh, but dude, the guy's restaurants get horrific fucking reviews.

[46] Like, just, like, one of the most epic slams of any fucking restaurant that.

[47] that open was...

[48] Oh, Guy Fieri.

[49] Yeah.

[50] Yeah, that guy.

[51] Yeah, that guy.

[52] So, like, they went more in that direction where they...

[53] They went from guys just knowing how to cook to, like, Guy Fierry.

[54] He's got a look.

[55] He's got bleach blonde hair.

[56] He wears his sunglasses backwards.

[57] We have him drive around on the car.

[58] I'm not really shitting on the guy, but they went more like that.

[59] And they tried to, like, you know, oh, and this is...

[60] Okay, so Rachel Ray pops up.

[61] Okay, we got to find another one of those.

[62] You know, it was really sad to watch, because I used to just watch...

[63] Maltamario was my favorite.

[64] favorite, and he would just be in a kitchen, and he would just have...

[65] I don't know if any of these few...

[66] I heard of the guy Fierry guy.

[67] I met him.

[68] No. He's a beast.

[69] Really?

[70] Oh, he's a beast.

[71] He's a cooking beast.

[72] Dude, this guy would be like, I'm trying to compare him to a fighter.

[73] John Jones?

[74] He'd be like someone who held the belt for a while, you know what I mean?

[75] Like the Anderson Silva of cooking?

[76] I would say that, or maybe J .P. I'm not good with the fighters.

[77] George St. Pierre?

[78] George St. Pierre.

[79] Yeah.

[80] The G .S .P of cooking.

[81] Wow.

[82] Although he was early on, so I think maybe he's more like those guys when it It was when it was literally Taekwondo versus a boxer.

[83] Oh, he came on early.

[84] So.

[85] There he is.

[86] That's the guy?

[87] Yeah.

[88] So you would, it's an unfortunate picture.

[89] It's just to highlight his mole.

[90] Yeah, he's, so he used to have the show Multimario, and it was just him in his kitchen.

[91] It was him in his kitchen.

[92] And he'd, oh, God, he needs somebody to take better pictures, though.

[93] The sausage around the neck's a great look.

[94] Yeah, it's supposed to look like a scarf.

[95] I don't know.

[96] So he would just have people over in his kitchen.

[97] And he would make authentic from scratch just Italian meals.

[98] And he went over to Italy, learned how to cook.

[99] He can tell you about all the different parts of Italy and the rivalries that they have over there with their food.

[100] That's why Italians are the greatest fucking cookers ever because, like, they get upset with shit, like, sauces and stuff the way other people kill each other over, like, their football team.

[101] You know what I mean?

[102] Like, they just don't, oh, this part doesn't do it right.

[103] This is the way we do it.

[104] And I learned, I just watched him making these meals.

[105] and it would be like each little part of the meal would have three or four ingredients and then however he was getting it going and then it would all come together and he would just be shooting the shit talking about Italy as he made his friends a meal which is the greatest thing you could ever fucking do was cook for somebody I think one of the greatest so it was just a simple show I used to come on at like noon time I watched it every fucking day I would wake up after doing spots late at the cellar and all that me back I was living like I was after I lived at Bobby Kelly But, you know, we'd stay out late in shit.

[106] And I would sleep till, like, fucking 11, I would wake up.

[107] And rather than watching, like, the Price is Right or some shit, I would just pop that on.

[108] And I, I don't know, just watching him was interesting.

[109] And then I learned, I just learned how to cook, you know, making fucking pasta from scratch, his well method.

[110] You make pasta from scratch.

[111] It's not hard, dude.

[112] Really?

[113] So you do the flour, the eggs, everything?

[114] It's having the balls to just allow yourself to fuck.

[115] it up going like, I'm going to fuck this up.

[116] Like, I made a key lime pie and I fucked it up because they want a little bit of the, I think it's called the rind, which is just a little bit like the zest of the lime.

[117] And I didn't know what I was doing and I went too deep and I got to the white part and that's when it gets bitter and it fucked the whole pie up.

[118] So I was like, ah, fuck it.

[119] I had to throw the thing out.

[120] But then, you know, it's anything.

[121] If you just fuck it up and then fix it.

[122] It's like, if I had the time, you know, I would learn how to rebuild an engine on a car.

[123] I love watching those fucking shows, but like, and I've always thought, like, you know, I'm going to buy like a fucking 82 Chevy citation, just some fucking hunker shit.

[124] Start with that.

[125] Yeah, well, just because I don't give a fuck about it.

[126] And you can screw up on that.

[127] Like, I try to learn how to rebuild a carburetor.

[128] And rather than doing the one on my truck, the 68F100, I bought the same carburetor off of eBay that was fixed, and I just took it apart and then tried putting it back together.

[129] I fucked it up.

[130] That's still something that bugs me. It's sitting in my garage, like, in pieces, but, like...

[131] Now, do you take lessons, or do you just try to figure it out on your own?

[132] Dude, YouTube.

[133] Just YouTube.

[134] YouTube.

[135] But, like, uh, YouTube and shit, like, uh, there's certain things.

[136] Like, I would take a cooking class or something, but my fucking ADD, like, the internet is perfect.

[137] You can shut it off when you want.

[138] Yeah, I can read about the Illuminati and then I'm learning how to make a pie.

[139] And then I'm watching a bear fight an eagle.

[140] Just like, like, like, fucking the internet was made for fucking ADD.

[141] psychos like me and I just were literally just fly through all of this all of that stuff and I've learned to like I didn't think I had ADD then my wife said I had it and then there was that whole well should you fucking you know do something about this and I just really realized that I just got to learn how to make it work for me so what I always have is I always have like nine things going at once you know what I mean playing drums learn how to play a helicopter and make a pie from scratch but the over to over the thing is the fucking comedy but The thing is, is doing all of that and fucking up and failing and all the people that I meet in these different parts, you know, hobbies and shit ends up informing, like characters and shit when you, or points of view and stuff like, you know, like shit I used to buy into that, you know, the flyover states, people down the south are dumb, all that stupid shit that people on the coasting.

[142] And then you go there, you're like, wait a minute, these people are fucking cool.

[143] They're doing different things.

[144] So that's how I got into like barbecue and smoking and stuff.

[145] So like when I go on the road, I try to do that.

[146] that when in Rome thing.

[147] It's different now than I think when we were kids.

[148] When we were kids, I think that was more applicable.

[149] But the Internet has informed more people and sort of educated people in a way.

[150] There's cool people everywhere now.

[151] Yeah.

[152] But it also, it depends on how you use any information you get.

[153] Like if you just wanted to reinforce it, like the joke I always do in my act is everybody just goes to I'm right .com and just reads a bunch of facts and then just throws it at people.

[154] But, I mean, I'm guilty of that too.

[155] But I don't know.

[156] I have faith, but like, watching the kinds of people that have been coming out of the woodwork in this latest election, you know, a couple of those guys, like watching Ted Cruz.

[157] No, just watching like, I would say, what's his face there, Donald Trump, the way he bullies the media and what pussies they are, how they just back down, they really just backed down.

[158] All you got to do, every now you just got to give him shit back.

[159] He just, like, gives him shit.

[160] and they just they fucking sit there and take it.

[161] At first it was funny to me because I used to love watching Bill Parcells was one of my favorites to watch when he would do Coach of the Giants and Patriots Cowboys, a bunch of places he was at.

[162] But he would, in his press conferences, if you asked him a stupid question, he would tear your fucking head off in such a perfect way that everybody else in the room was like, oh shit, I'm not asking him this one.

[163] I've got to make sure I'm on my game.

[164] And he took charge, of it because I that's one of the ones where I'm rooting for the guy because I feel like this is a bunch of nerds who maybe they played varsity fucking bass you know the way they come at I'm like well why'd you do this you know now that they know the result was something bad I like when he's giving him shit but like I just you know some of the shit that just watching him I like that he's going back at him but the way that they just are backing off him like oh I didn't know he's going to make me look stupid they just like implode like he sat there one one that was fucking hilarious he was in that first republican debate they were going you said this about women you said that about women you said this about women he goes nah he goes I said that about Rosie O'Donnell and it got a huge laugh she goes no you've said that about other blah blah blah blah the women and he just goes hey probably right and then that was it and it just went away and I think like he's he's really it's fascinating he's like exposing you know that that I don't I don't know.

[165] It's like that Wizard of Oz thing, that there's just a little guy behind, they just have the one question and they're waiting for you to stammer.

[166] And if you kind of throw the, hit the ball back in their court, I just don't think they're ready for it.

[167] I don't think they're not ready for that kind of a personality.

[168] In politics, I don't.

[169] But like, some of the racist people and shit that, you know, that whatever the fuck was going on in that conference room, I'm not saying the black dude was 100 % in the right.

[170] What are you talking about?

[171] This guy went there and started yelling some shit at Trump.

[172] He heckled him.

[173] and, you know, when did this happen?

[174] I don't know.

[175] Do you know about this, Jamie?

[176] Yeah, and shit went sideways, and then the next thing you know, there's a bunch of, you know, eight white people on top of the black dude or whatever.

[177] So I don't know.

[178] Yeah, I don't know what happened.

[179] I don't know what happened, but all I know is the quote that I read on this site was, you know, was the politician guy there, Trump going like, well, you know, maybe he should have got roughed up.

[180] It's just like, Jesus, dude.

[181] Jesus, this sounds like I'm watching a mob movie.

[182] It's really weird.

[183] So Trump was saying maybe the guy should have got roughed.

[184] I think, too.

[185] Like I said, I got ADD.

[186] I was on like 20 different sites.

[187] I think I have ADD, too.

[188] It was like clickbait.

[189] Like, I was probably, you know, I don't know.

[190] Here it is.

[191] Yeah.

[192] Donald Trump on his Black Lives Matter, heckler, maybe he should have been roughed up.

[193] But, you know, Black Lives Matter, this movement is so strange.

[194] Oh, they interrupts shit and scream things.

[195] Like, you saw what happened in Dartmouth in New Hampshire.

[196] They walked through a study hall where these kids were studying.

[197] They just start screaming Black Lives Matter.

[198] Black Lives Matter.

[199] Everybody's quiet in study hall.

[200] Just their study.

[201] They're annoying people.

[202] Yeah.

[203] That's the lowest level of like.

[204] Trying to get attention.

[205] Yeah.

[206] And not and not having people want to hear what the fuck you have to say.

[207] Is it just going and annoy this shit out of somebody?

[208] It's like those people when they ride the bikes, like a thousand of them get together and they blow through lights.

[209] Like that's going to be like, you know what?

[210] There should be a bike lane out here.

[211] I just think I wish I had a bus and I could run over all of you, right?

[212] Which is why.

[213] You know, I don't know, I look at those terrorist acts.

[214] Like, I would think that if, like, a lot of the complaints, legitimate complaints, they're being oppressed, their natural resources are being pulled out of their countries and they're not getting the money for it.

[215] But to then blow up innocent people going and shoot them, it kills your fucking message.

[216] What you really need is a documentary by some bleeding heart person, I think would do way more than a dirty bomb or whatever the fuck it is there trying to achieve because it just makes you think like no matter what that point is it's just like yeah but how could you do that yeah I think what their point what they're trying to do if I had a guess is they're trying to get people to not like any Muslims to hate Muslims because there's like 1 .6 billion Muslims if they can make it about Muslims and not just about ISIS or just about one terrorist group and separate people to the point where it's everyone is just attacking people that are of Islamic faith right then they have a whole war.

[217] I think that's ultimately Yeah, and you can make a ton of fucking there's a very few people can make a ton of fucking money over there.

[218] There's a ton of money and they're also fucking crazy.

[219] I mean, it's not just money.

[220] It's ideology, they're trying to dominate parts of the world.

[221] I mean, money's definitely a big part of it, but...

[222] Did you see that documentary on Scientology?

[223] Yes.

[224] Amazing.

[225] Yeah, and I watched it and I was just like, if you can't see your own religion in this, if you don't see the beginning of your own religion in this, the only thing that fuck Scientology is this video.

[226] of the dude.

[227] He just started it too late.

[228] If that guy started it in like, I don't know, 1800s, they'd still give him shit because it'd be a newer one.

[229] But the fact that there wouldn't have been video of this fucked up teeth looking red -headed dude on some broken down boat.

[230] Like, if there wasn't video of that, like, I think people could really see...

[231] I mean, dude, my background, my religion.

[232] I mean, the shit that we have done it's like everything that they're saying that every Muslim is doing right now it's like well we've done that in spades and it wasn't a couple of extremists it was the leaders of the religion you know crusades the Inquisition the fucking pedophilia dude they were in bed with the Nazis you know when Jews went to find like where to hell it all I took my riding lawnmower or whatever they went up at the fucking Vatican like some of their shit was there Oh, were those yours?

[233] Sorry.

[234] Yeah, they were on both sides.

[235] They were just like, listen, I don't know how this is going to shake out.

[236] You know, a lot of people in Europe were like that.

[237] They've always done that.

[238] You know, there's a Dan Carlin.

[239] Look at the cars that Germans make.

[240] You know, you've got to think they're going to win.

[241] It's just not enough of them.

[242] It's just too small an island or too small a country.

[243] If it was a big country like the United States, and they made shit like that, it would be pretty goddamn impressive.

[244] One of my favorite quotes from a German general was said one tiger tank was worth four, American Sherman tanks, but the Americans always had five.

[245] That's a great quote.

[246] That's what it was.

[247] It was fucking McDonald's.

[248] We were just cranking them out.

[249] Like fucking quarter pounders with cheese.

[250] It is crazy when you think about the fact like Audi, Mercedes, BMW, like BMW used to make jet engines.

[251] And that technology was in their tanks.

[252] Dude, when I was, I mean, the shit I've been reading is like when American soldiers killed somebody German, they dropped the American gun and picked up the German.

[253] Really?

[254] Yeah, like our machine guns, I guess, overheated or there's, I don't know.

[255] You know, come on, man, you like cars.

[256] Engineering.

[257] You know how it is.

[258] I mean, we got the Corvette.

[259] We got a couple, but most of them are kind of a Monte Carlo.

[260] Yeah, we have, like, old muscle cars.

[261] What I like is, I like the old muscle cars because the way they look and the way they sound, but the way they drive, if you took, like, a 1980s Porsche, or even a 70s, you could take like a 1973, 9 -11, they handle pretty fucking good.

[262] Oh, yeah.

[263] Pretty goddamn good.

[264] I mean, not like a new car, but pretty good.

[265] You know what the American excuses is we had all this land so we could have straight roads?

[266] What they had over there, dude, those were like the original cowpaths when they were bringing fucking provisions to town.

[267] And they just paved over them, basically.

[268] And then all of a sudden, how do we go 200 miles an hour on this?

[269] That's why, you know, Formula One has right and left turns.

[270] Best we'll do is just driving a circle over here.

[271] I love it, dude.

[272] I love that the more I travel, the funnier we are.

[273] Like, we're fucking loud.

[274] Yeah.

[275] We got a lot of shit.

[276] But we're not bad.

[277] They try to make us seem like we're bad, but we're not.

[278] But it's just, we just are a product of where we're from.

[279] And who's kidding who, man?

[280] Is it any more fun than just stomping on the gas and going up 200 miles an hour in a straight line?

[281] Well, finally, the cars they're making today, like the new Z -28 or the new Cameros, the new Corvettes, the new Mustangs.

[282] They actually handle it.

[283] Cadillax, the Cadillacs, yeah.

[284] So much of it was the suspension.

[285] Once they, we actually put some money, because all we would do is just be like, what the fuck can this thing hold in this engine bay, which automatically is stupid because you're adding weight there.

[286] So, but we would just stick as far as I can, I've seen, we would just stick that in there and it was all about doing the quarter mile or something like a blowing somebody off at a fucking red light.

[287] Even as recently as like the 2013 GT500 Shelby, I think it was like a 60 -40 weight balance, like 60 % front end because it was all engine.

[288] It's so out of balance.

[289] Now that's a bad thing because I don't know, I don't know cars.

[290] It's like if you want any, if you want any, you really would like 50 -50.

[291] 50 -50's ideal.

[292] Porsche puts the engine in the rear, but they do that for traction because the engine sits over the back wheels and it helps you get off the line faster.

[293] And it helps you when you're going around corners to, to hit corners faster.

[294] Jamie, can you make some tape?

[295] What the fuck is going on at my throat?

[296] but when you go around corners, it helps you get on the gas quicker because there's more traction.

[297] And there's like a pendulum effect, too, with having the weight in the back that you could actually use and manipulate.

[298] The guys who know how to drive Porsche is really well, they know how to manipulate that, so they actually steer with the throttle.

[299] So as they're turning, they hit the gas, and the ass end kicks out, and it changes the angle of the turn.

[300] That's cool.

[301] Yeah, really badass drivers know how to manipulate it.

[302] So once again, thank God Germany was such a small country.

[303] I know, right.

[304] Did you see that Norman Donald?

[305] Joke?

[306] No. I think he did it on Letterman.

[307] Well, I forget how it went, but it was just something to the effect that Germany, how small they were.

[308] Like, they were basically the size of the state of Maine, and they tried to take over the world, and he goes, and they almost did it.

[309] That's just fucking like, yeah, they almost did.

[310] It is amazing that one country produced so much engineering.

[311] The automotive engineering that came out of that one spot, to this day, the biggest car companies in the world, Porsche, Mercedes, Audi, BMW, all those are German.

[312] That's phenomenal.

[313] We raided their secrets afterwards.

[314] Like everything from audio tape to our like NASA program was riddled.

[315] Operation Paper Club.

[316] A lot of sourcrout on that paper.

[317] Well, not just ours.

[318] The Russians too.

[319] They took a lot of the engineers from Nazi Germany too.

[320] Oh, they did?

[321] Yeah, yeah.

[322] There was like a battle between their, their Nazis and our Nazis.

[323] That's filthy.

[324] Operation Papercliff, there was like more than a hundred Nazi scientists they took over.

[325] It's fucking crazy.

[326] The whole Nazi, like, Werner von Braun, the guy who ran NASA, the Simon Wiesenthal Center said that if he was alive today, they would prosecute him for crimes against humanity.

[327] He was a fucking straight -up Nazi.

[328] Oh, he was.

[329] Yeah, he hung Jews.

[330] He hung the five slowest Jews in front of his rocket factory in Berlin, the five slowest workers.

[331] They would just hang them.

[332] No, wait.

[333] So this guy could build rockets and he was also into that shit?

[334] Because I always felt like with Germany was like, you're the scientists, you're under this flag, so you've got to work with these guys who were going to kill you.

[335] I didn't know that you could actually be an egghead like.

[336] Usually scientists, they understand that human beings are human.

[337] You know what I mean?

[338] Well, he might have just complied so that he could get his rocket factory going and have the funds and have all the necessary, have all the tools and all that jazz.

[339] I don't know exactly, you know, how he did it.

[340] But he was a Nazi.

[341] I mean, why he was a Nazi is up to debate.

[342] Jesus Christ.

[343] Yeah.

[344] How do you get out of that?

[345] It's a good question.

[346] Because you can't say no, you got to run away?

[347] Well, they didn't set up a couple.

[348] Can we just do four?

[349] Is four cool?

[350] We just try to talk him down.

[351] Just one.

[352] One guy's enough.

[353] Oh, man. Yeah.

[354] He's, I mean, obviously he was a brilliant scientist, but they got a lot of brilliant scientists they brought over from Germany.

[355] And Germany is never going to shake that one off.

[356] That's one's going to be, that's going to be, that's another one.

[357] It's on, it's on like two things.

[358] It's on video, you know, there's video documentation of it and that country still exists.

[359] You know what I mean?

[360] They won't have Scientology.

[361] They won't let Scientology in.

[362] It's illegal in Germany.

[363] Why?

[364] Because of what happened to them.

[365] Like, they're nervous about people starting movements.

[366] Oh, oh, okay.

[367] Any kind of cults, any kind of mind control shit, anything that looks.

[368] nutty they're like not here foul not here pal no dead heads or people following Dave Matthews I think too much too much organization no fish fish concert fish was one that I never got did you ever try to listen to that uh yeah I did I just I had young ears when I did so I'd have to go back and let's do it like I was coming right out of hair metal just starting to accept grunge and then I went to this fucking jam band I did see them uh live uh how the fuck did I end up see i saw them at the old boston garden because it was it was uh w bcn had this thing where they had two stages going and they just had all these like every fucking band like the spin doctors and just all of these guys and then fish closed it i forget who i wanted to see though it wasn't either one of those bands it was somebody else it was a long fucking time ago and um i remember seeing them and the crowd was going fucking nuts and they had these little tramp you know those workout trampolines they were like jumping up and down on them as they played really long songs.

[369] That's what I remember.

[370] Really long songs on it.

[371] But I bet if I listen to them now, I could maybe get my head around it.

[372] But that was definitely...

[373] That's the Grateful Dead did that too, right?

[374] They had those really long jam songs.

[375] They just go on and on.

[376] Yeah, you had to go see them live to get it if you were someone like...

[377] I went and I saw him at Sullivan Stadium and I saw him right before their keyboardist.

[378] Oh, deed.

[379] Like literally two months before that.

[380] And I remember going there and I was sort of into the music but watching how in how much they were connecting with the people there i actually it's like i get this i get why people could get sucked into this because what was cool was there was there was a ton of people there but there was no violent violence vibe there there wasn't like oh hey watch out for that guy everybody was just really fucking cool right and going nuts and was like beyond excited that they were there but once again it just it didn't wasn't really for me but wasn't everybody on acid and that's the whole thing about those things that everybody's tripping I mean, I think it's available.

[381] I don't think literally everybody, but there's a lot of people.

[382] Yeah, but whatever drugs they were doing, I mean.

[383] I had a cousin that followed them around when I was out of high school.

[384] I guess she went to college for a little bit, and then her and her boyfriend just traveled around.

[385] They had a VW bus, one of those buses in a little vans, and out of the back of the van, they would sell scrambled eggs.

[386] They would, like, buy groceries and make bacon and eggs and sell them to people that were coming in.

[387] That was like her dick.

[388] That was her gig.

[389] She would travel around the country.

[390] There's a nice, there's a beauty in that simplicity, but I think after a while you want to, like, dude, I got to take a shower.

[391] I just want to be, I want to be in a house, man. Can't keep swimming in the lake.

[392] Or sleeping up in that fucking, the roof of the VW, right?

[393] The camper.

[394] Yeah.

[395] Do you ever see those things?

[396] I'm fascinated by those things because I'm thinking about putting together an apocalypse vehicle.

[397] Like a Toyota Land Cruiser that has one of those tents on the roof.

[398] You ever seen those things?

[399] They have these tents.

[400] Right.

[401] They pack down to just a few inches.

[402] They're like, you know, six or seven inches high.

[403] Like, not even.

[404] Maybe six inches high.

[405] And you unzip them and then unfold them, and they come with a ladder.

[406] So there's a platform on the top, and the platform folds over and doubles out and extends out to the side of the truck.

[407] And then you climb up the ladder into these tents.

[408] I would tell you that if the apocalypse happens and you're in L .A., your vehicle is useless.

[409] other than to hide behind when people shoot at you because, you know, you can't get out of this fucking place even when it's working.

[410] Yeah, you got to get out.

[411] That's why I did the helicopter thing.

[412] That's a smart move, man, that helicopter thing.

[413] That's another thing you do.

[414] Like, you're involved with so many different things.

[415] I love that you do that because it reminds me of me in a lot of way, and that's one of the reasons why I think I probably have ADD too.

[416] I have to be doing a bunch of different shit.

[417] If I'm not, I kind of get crazy.

[418] No, I kind of get crazy.

[419] But I haven't gotten to the point where I'm baking pies yet.

[420] Oh, you got to do that.

[421] Well, you know, the holidays were awesome when I was growing up, so I moved so far away from everybody I know that, you know, I just got all the recipes, so I was like, I want to know how to make this, I want to know how to pass it on.

[422] It's not hard.

[423] The filling isn't hard.

[424] The thing is, is the crust.

[425] You got to get that down and just, you know, you make two, three of them, you know, it doesn't take that long, dude.

[426] I'm not a bright guy.

[427] I've done some smoking.

[428] I've done some smoking.

[429] I smoked a ham.

[430] I've smoked two hams.

[431] I brine them.

[432] Did you do it on the egg?

[433] I did one of them.

[434] No, both of them I've done on electric smokers.

[435] But one of them I did on this, I think it's a Weber.

[436] I forgot who makes it.

[437] Weber?

[438] But the last one that I did.

[439] Sorry.

[440] Why did you did that?

[441] The Boston accent, I just, I have to do it every once in a well.

[442] The last one I did, I got a pellet grill.

[443] Have you ever used a pellet grill?

[444] No. That's the easiest way to smoke.

[445] What it is is that they use pellets.

[446] And the pellets are like, say if you were making this desk, when you saw the wood, they take the saw and they compress it.

[447] And the natural sugars in the wood, there's no additives.

[448] You know, they get those charcoal briquettes and they light real easy.

[449] It's because they're fucking soaked with chemicals and they smell funny.

[450] Oh, that's the flavor.

[451] That's the flavor.

[452] Cancer coming right up on it.

[453] On to your, Parker.

[454] But those sawdust pellets, when they compress the sawdust, and it looks like little cylinders.

[455] And they sit in a hopper.

[456] And then the hopper feeds down at this worm drive, and the worm drive puts it into an element.

[457] And the element heats it up, and it turns it.

[458] turns into fire and then it's so it's burning wood it's just burning wood and it keeps it at the exact temperature it just varies one or two degrees up or down so you know like if you're using the green egg you got to adjust the openings the baffles yeah but how is the green egg holds its temperature yeah tremendously but if now how's the taste on delicious it tastes awesome because it's just wood it's just fire and wood is it comparable to some because you've you've said that you can do it in everything but an actual smoker yeah No, I've done it.

[459] I've done it.

[460] I have a comado, which is real similar to the green egg.

[461] And I never smoked a ham in there, but I've smoked chicken in there, which is nice.

[462] It tastes great.

[463] You know, just slow cook a chicken like, you know, 200, 200 degrees, 250.

[464] And just, you know, have some wood burn in a little charcoal as well.

[465] I just realized, is this only interesting to us?

[466] Like, we're fucking disappearing down this rabbit hole.

[467] And then what are you doing?

[468] No, I'm interested in things that people are interested in.

[469] Like, when I hear you talk about helicopter being a helicopter pilot, I've never wanted to fucking fly a helicopter until I hear you talking about it.

[470] I'm like, oh, that sounds badass.

[471] I never wanted to make a fucking pie crust until I hear someone like you who's into it and then I get into it.

[472] I mean, that's how I am with things.

[473] I think comics are like that, though.

[474] Yeah.

[475] You have to be kind of general, I think the best comic.

[476] You've got to be, if you have to have a general interest in shit.

[477] They can't be like, I'm into this, this, and then that's fucking it.

[478] And then your act's going to look like that.

[479] You're going to have like two, three.

[480] fucking subjects.

[481] You're going to dry up like, ah, I can't come up in the new hour.

[482] It's like because you're not, you're not challenging yourself.

[483] You've got to go out and try something new.

[484] You try something new.

[485] You're going to fuck it up.

[486] You're going to feel stupid.

[487] And then you're going to get a story.

[488] You're going to get something out of it.

[489] So, yeah.

[490] I drive my wife a little nuts with the, I'm trying to learn how to fucking relax a little bit more, but I can't like, dude, she watches that Bravo TV, man. Oh, my God.

[491] Oh, like housewives?

[492] Kardashians.

[493] The whole fucking thing, dude.

[494] Your wife's smart.

[495] Why does she watch that?

[496] I literally say that to her.

[497] No, but she, she, like, this is, this is, my wife either watches this sickest shit ever on TV.

[498] Like, who, who's that scientist guy, the African American guy?

[499] Neil DeGrasse.

[500] Oh, my God.

[501] Yeah.

[502] Dude, that guy is, like, terrifying.

[503] He's so fucking smart.

[504] Just listening to the shit that he's, yeah, I was watching the other day, and I believe we all came from the trees.

[505] It's crazy.

[506] Right?

[507] What do you mean you believe we came?

[508] Because he was saying, like, people were saying we came from the oceans and blah, blah, he had this whole theory that, you know, the, whatever, the fucking trees grew first, and we came out of that and we're all part.

[509] Dude, and they're doing all the special effects, and then he fucking zooms in on you.

[510] It's like one of those sticks where I feel like, yeah, like I ate a pot cookie, too big a pot cookie when I watched that guy.

[511] But she'll either watch that type of stuff or like Fargo, like really good TV, or she just wants to veg out.

[512] So how I make my piece with it, I'm like, this is just as dumb as me watching every Bruins game or every Patriots game.

[513] That's good point.

[514] And getting like emotionally like like hating Rex Ryan on some level.

[515] He's the coach of the Buffalo Bills.

[516] I don't know the guy.

[517] I'm sure if I hung out with them, he'd be a fucking great guy.

[518] We'd be laughing our balls off.

[519] But it's because he coaches this fucking team that plays my team that I get nothing from other than, you know, fucking having a heart attack every game.

[520] I'm like, it's really, you think, why do I give a shit to this level?

[521] I do love sports, so I just think it's fucking badass.

[522] No, I listen to your podcast.

[523] You fucking love sports.

[524] I do.

[525] Sometimes I can't let it.

[526] I have to fast forward to see when you're done talking about the Patriots.

[527] Oh, I know.

[528] Well, sometimes that'll be 15 minutes.

[529] But I get it because, you know, I'm obviously obsessed with MMA.

[530] So I get it.

[531] I just don't follow regular.

[532] I just don't have enough time.

[533] I just know that if I got into sports, like if I got into football and I had a buddy run and tried to get me in a lot of my own.

[534] football we watched an awesome Super Bowl game once and I was like wow it was amazing I don't have the time I don't have time to follow all the games and pay attention all the shit that's what I always ask people when they go I'm not into sport I'm like Jesus I go what do you do with all your free time because the amount of time that I spend um you know just looking at the standing seeing who's doing what and then it makes me think back when I was a kid I got to look up this player and then I got to see like all time I'm big on numbers and shit I love that about the internet that you can look at up like the all -time leading pass rushes or quarterbacks or something and then they'll have highlighted the guys who are still playing and he's like oh this guy's like a hundred yards away from passing this guy let me watch the game and see if they bring it up that he just passed fucking slinging Sammy Ba have you ever thought about doing commentary would you do commentary if like I mean you know a lot about football I would do it on my own I would do it on my own because the thing about it is is you know once you like that's it's a corporation as much As you're enjoying the sport, like the NBA, NFL, NHL is a corporation, and then you, no matter how you slice it, you're in the cubicle.

[535] And I can't be, I can't be saying certain things.

[536] I have that same problem with the UFC, but I've been around for so long.

[537] I kind of get away with it in some sort of a weird way, but probably not forever.

[538] It's probably going to come a point in time.

[539] You're great at it, though.

[540] But you don't say anything crazy?

[541] Not during the show, not during the fights, but sometimes outside the fights I'll talk about.

[542] fighters or fights or things, and I'll say something ridiculous, because, you know, especially, like, Tony, Tony Inchcliff and I got in trouble recently, because we were talking about this woman, Chris Cyborg.

[543] Do you know who Chris Cyborg is?

[544] No, great name, though.

[545] Very masculine, very muscular, female fighter, excellent fighter, but she's been caught using performance -enhancing drugs.

[546] She got caught using male hormones.

[547] And Dana White was talking about roasting fighters.

[548] On my podcast, he wanted to set up a roast, and I said, said, look, Tony Hinchcliff's the guy.

[549] He's awesome at roast.

[550] I go, I'm not good at it.

[551] It's not my thing, but he's great at it.

[552] I go, you should, you should roast cyborg.

[553] That would be the first one.

[554] And he goes, I don't know where to start.

[555] I go, her dick.

[556] Like, that's where you would start.

[557] And then Tony went into this whole thing about, and then she got mad, and she's upset at us now, and she says we're bullying.

[558] And see, it's a problem.

[559] Like, I don't know.

[560] Because you're a Philly.

[561] Yeah.

[562] And then they also know them and the people and stuff.

[563] That's another thing, too.

[564] It's like, you know, when, you know, when One of the fun things in the podcast is, I don't know any of these guys.

[565] Exactly.

[566] I don't get paid by these guys.

[567] Well, I heard your Connor McGregor rant.

[568] That was awesome.

[569] I just felt that that guy, he earned coming out.

[570] I know he fucking dropped his hands a little bit, but I just felt like, you know, he was doing all right for a guy that had the short thing.

[571] I was not shitting on Connor McGregor.

[572] The guy's obviously a great fighter.

[573] No, but it's funny, though.

[574] It's funny.

[575] I said the Burger King looking guy came out and attacked Barney Rubble.

[576] Yeah.

[577] No, but there's something funny about that, like, uninformed sort of thing.

[578] That's Joey Diaz, his whole thing.

[579] Yeah, he always gets the names wrong.

[580] Yeah, yeah.

[581] So, and I got into this business to not have a job.

[582] I don't want to have, and I've done one gig or actually wrote for a fucking, like, a comedian that was going to go out and do the monologue fucking thing.

[583] Oh, really?

[584] And it was just fucking, it was weird.

[585] It would just be like, okay, the monologue's little.

[586] week here we need more jokes about corn hey bill go in the room and write give me 10 jokes about like whatever about fucking how long ago is this i don't know five six years ago who you're writing for do you remember i mean i'm not gonna name names but i just got into this i was writing for somebody very funny uh i did it like two years in a row and it just became like a job yeah what am i doing here and i have like a tremendous amount of respect for writers now that they can uh i mean that is like i remember a long time ago when mr show was on the first time seeing bob odenkirk on stage and he was like towards the end of like the fifth season or whatever they did and he was coming and just fried from the writer's room and he was riffing about how he goes you know what i do during the day he goes i'm i mine comedy i strip mine you just feel like he was just like just sitting there like you know those fucking shows do when you start getting like 70 episodes in you're like fuck now what do we do and you're just sitting around trying to think of something um don't you feel like that would stand up sometimes like because you would you put out a new hour every year and a half or so every two years i'll do a special or so maybe a little bit more like i i do it in a nice like relaxed clip like uh what louie does is astounding to me that you could you could you could just or back when you know richard prior richard prior did that for a number of years like he put out like an hour like four hours out in six years or something like carlin did it every year of his life every year of his life you put out a new hour yeah i mean it was yeah that's astounding to me and louis the crazies because he did it while he's producing a show writing acting directing yeah and on a high quality one of the funniest shows on fucking and editing it he was editing it he was involved every step of the way no i i would have a gun in my mouth with i i don't i could never sit in a fucking editing room.

[587] I can't do it.

[588] So with the show that I have coming out, like I actually was in the writer's room most, probably 90 % of the time.

[589] I just sat there pitching jokes and all that type of stuff and like the work ethic of those guys.

[590] Like we'd start getting up to five o 'clock and we get to the last page of the script and I'd be like, oh, thank Christ and the guy.

[591] All right, let's go.

[592] Let's just read through it one more time to see what we did, see how flow.

[593] And I would literally be like, no. And it's your show.

[594] Yeah, I'm just like, I'm like, God, how do these guys do this?

[595] And then I would fucking come in the next day and the guy, the co -creator the show, Mike Price from the Simpsons, who's just an absolute force.

[596] And he's a sweetheart of a guy would come in and he'd be like, yeah, I was looking at the script last night and I kind of switched a few things around.

[597] I was just like, I would be like, how do you do that?

[598] Like, I come home and I just fucking pour a scotch and I stare at the fucking wall and watch a little ESPN and I fall asleep and then we're right back at it again.

[599] And like, I It really takes a certain type, like, you know, like, this guy's a comedian or, you know, this guy's an athlete, like, to the top level writers and showrunners, like a Mike Price, like, they literally, it's like, you look at the guy, it's like you had, you're born to do this shit, so.

[600] It's a lot harder than people think it is.

[601] It's a lot more work, a lot more concentration, a lot more effort.

[602] And like you said, the hours, the hours, the crazy thing.

[603] Those guys work insane hours.

[604] When you get it done and it doesn't work and you got to start pulling it apart, it's just like, and everybody's feeling it.

[605] Everybody's like on edge.

[606] Like, ah, fuck, here we go.

[607] Right when you were done, when you were done filming, you came to the store and you were hanging out in the back and we were talking about it and you were like, I feel like, you know, I love doing it.

[608] It's going to be hilarious.

[609] But fuck, I could have been working on it.

[610] You know, I could have had 10 new minutes over the time I've been doing this.

[611] Yeah.

[612] Oh, I don't know.

[613] That was a different thing.

[614] That was a different project.

[615] It was?

[616] Yeah, no. wasn't the it wasn't the cartoon no it wasn't the animated thing no the animated thing was definitely like from start to finish I mean it took us a long time and it was definitely tedious points of it but it was fucking awesome when we were in the writer's room as difficult as it was we left our asses off like every fucking hour because it was perfect Netflix was just like like their network notes were push it further really oh dude it was a dream it was all the shit we used to talk about I haven't even mentioned the show the name of show is F is for family it's a new cartoon coming out December 18th on Netflix and um the trailer looks awesome let's play the trailer can we can't we they're not gonna pull it is that gonna is that flex isn't gonna pause well is that gonna work as far as uh that don't they need the visual too well the people watch on youtube will get the visual which is a lot a lot of people but the people that are watching or listening to it only listening they will be inspired to go watch the video oh all right okay now that they know.

[667] Is that supposed to be your dad?

[668] No, it's an amalgam of like everybody's dad's in the writer's room.

[669] I mean, certain things, certain like catchphrases, like I'll put you through that fucking wall.

[670] My dad used to say that man. My mom used to say I'll break your fucking legs.

[671] Yeah, push through the fucking wall, yeah.

[672] It was back then where you people talk to their kids that way.

[673] Dude, I remember like just how much shit has changed.

[674] I remember one time my mother was driving and my two little brothers were just acting up.

[675] and she just had had it.

[676] She goes, I swear to God, if you guys don't shut up, I'm going to pull over, and I'm spanking your bear asses right on the side of the road, and they kept testing.

[677] Dude, she fucking pulled over, and she did it, and people were driving by, just blowing the horns laughing.

[678] They thought it was funny.

[679] They were just like, wow, those kids really irritated their mom.

[680] It wasn't like, you know, there wasn't cell phones.

[681] Yeah, yeah, and take the kids away and give them to the state and shit.

[682] So, yeah, it takes place in like 1973, and now, let me read some of the names.

[683] So Laura Durence plays my wife, Dave Kekner's in it, Justin Long, Kevin Farley, Joe Buck, Phil Henry, Haley, Reinhardt, Mo Collins, Sam Rockwell, Gary Cole, did I say him?

[684] We got a whole bunch of people that came on to do it.

[685] So what's cool is it serialized, so like one episode leads into the next one, which I was against, and Netflix is like, no, I'm trust us, trust us.

[686] And then the second we started writing towards an overall arc, it just took it to a whole other level.

[687] And it was another brilliant idea by Netflix.

[688] They'd just been awesome to work with.

[689] They're fucking killing it.

[690] They're just killing it.

[691] They're killing it with comedy specials.

[692] They're killing it with series.

[693] It's just like it's amazing what they've been able to do.

[694] Well, I think that they, where everybody kind of got caught flat -footed, they saw, they saw, like, what it could be.

[695] It'd be like Dane when, like, MySpace first came out.

[696] Like, he saw the potential before everybody else, I feel.

[697] Like, he just got it.

[698] I think he was actually doing shit on other sites before there was even MySpace from what I heard.

[699] So, like, I feel like Netflix in a lot of ways, like, those people that get, like, I'd say Jimmy Fallon.

[700] Jimmy Fallon gets what's going online.

[701] And that's why all that stuff he has his guests do and all that shit, because he knows it's going to go viral.

[702] So he gets him on TV.

[703] And if he doesn't get him on TV, then it goes on the Internet.

[704] And all of his clips get, like, fucking, like, you know, 10 zillion hits.

[705] but like there's certain people as early on as we're you know you know the TV and the computer are all just going to become the same fucking thing yeah it's inevitable now yeah but so it's the people that kind of like get it I guess is the only way I can put it they just they can see where it's where the herd is going they took chances a long time ago too I did a Netflix special in 2005 that was the like that was one of the first ones they did I would think so like I didn't even I didn't even hear it like that's back when they used to deliver the movies to you right yeah yeah you would you'd get them in the mail or something like that yeah hilarious they they're they're doing so much shit now they have that marco polo thing that's about the mongols you ever watched that series i didn't see that one fucking expensive i don't know how much they spend on it but it's a period piece and it's all they did these elaborate sets and incredible fucking acting it's they've they've done so much and the beautiful thing about Netflix is when a series comes out you can binge watch right away so December 8th when this comes 18th 18th December 18th when this comes out you can watch the whole fucking series right and they timed it because they think young kids are going to like it they're like well let's wait till they're out of college yeah wait till they're home a few days their parents are driving nuts they just want to go to the room that's perfect yeah yeah no they're really uh they're really smart and then um i think the first one i did with them was uh my first special and i remember it aired on like Comedy Central and did okay and then you know it gets thrown into their mountain of specials you never know when they're going to show it again where Netflix it was like on Netflix so if you saw it you could tell your friend at work and then it was just like you know I just saw them I was like wow these guys it's like almost like they've they've taken the best shit from YouTube and put it all in one place you know what I mean but you can actually watch it because they take down so many movies and shit and comedy specials from YouTube and what was great was that was right then when I was starting to go to Europe, and they were just starting to go to Europe.

[706] So I was like half a step ahead as far as my, where initially, where I was, where I would do stand -up, it always felt like right after I left the next time I came, they would be there.

[707] And then like two years later, it flipped where I would be getting there right after they got there.

[708] And then that's when my ticket sales really started going up when I went overseas was, because Netflix.

[709] This show, you know, when we were finishing them, they were dubbing them into like a zillion different languages.

[710] Like there's a clip of it all in Russian already.

[711] It's fucking nuts.

[712] So did you see a big bump when you did your Netflix special?

[713] A big bump in like ticket sales?

[714] Yeah.

[715] I definitely did.

[716] And the thing about it is, but like most things, it's like you just don't get on Netflix and then that automatically means that's going to happen.

[717] It's the combination.

[718] It's like if you deliver an hour that's going to connect um with people that watch netflix it's going to be on there and then it's going to start moving up and get to that front page and then yeah when that happens that's when uh you know you definitely see like a bump and then if you just you know keep coming out with good hours hopefully you can hang on to him yeah that's what sagura said sagura said it as soon as he put his uh first special on just boom everything just took off doubled triple now he's doing theaters like it just made made a big impact for him and then a year plus later he just recorded his second one so he's getting ready to release that now yeah but the thing is though tom's also a uh he's a monster common so there's a lot of people you know back in the day like the myspace thing hate to keep going back to that but he's like well i'll get on my space and then i'll i'll sell out fucking the forum and it's just like well you're not that person yeah you don't i mean you don't have like uh like whatever that yeah you have to have everything you have to have a whole bunch of shit that's going on at the same time but also Tom's got a great work ethic which you do too you know you he's always working on new shit and you are too you know that's I think that's one of the most important things for a comedian it's just to constantly be working on stuff we all know like especially where we came from guys would develop an act and they had that fucking act locked down for decades no and if you're doing that then when you go home you're like your hobby's getting more attention or if you don't even have a fucking hobby at that point if you basically have your life down like I live here and I drive here and this is the jokes I tell and then I come home you're just waiting to die yeah I think and I think it fucks with your brain I think your brain gets just turns to mush so do you do is this something you read about or is this just like your instincts no this is all figuring out your own mind yeah how it works because I feel like when you get into this business like you have to as much as people can give you advice you have to figure out how you create what works for you because I used to get into brutal writer's block and I didn't know how to get myself out of it and what I do now is I know these tricks that I use that fuck with my brain and open it up rather than close it down and basically what it is is like all right I just don't have anything new to say I'm just going to improv on all my existing material and I'm going to try to expand it as much as I can so then this old fucking thing that was weighing me down becomes you know it's like you crack the window It becomes a little fresh air comes in there.

[719] And it's really, you know, how your mind works is really, you know, the vibe.

[720] Like, dude, if I was in here and it didn't have all these fucking antlers, lava lamps and the mummies and there's a vibe in this room.

[721] Yeah.

[722] But if you just had overhead fucking lighting and we were sitting at some horrible table, you get at staples and it was just a tuba, it would affect the vibe.

[723] Yeah.

[724] Yeah, no, I agree.

[725] If we never addressed it.

[726] Maybe we could riff on how fucking sterile it was.

[727] So, like, mentally, you do the same thing.

[728] Rather than sitting there at that fucking, you know, when I'm a writer's block, that's what I feel like.

[729] I feel like I'm sitting in, like, that overhead lighting, and it's just, it's horrible.

[730] So you just...

[731] Do you go on stage with, like, a half idea and dig yourself a hole where you have to kind of figure out how to get out of it?

[732] I do that, yeah, all the time.

[733] A lot of guys do that, right?

[734] Yeah, I got this new thing on McDonald's, of all things that I'm talking about, just of how they've...

[735] I'm trying to combine it with, like, like the bloggers, how they bully people.

[736] And if you apologize, they see the weakness, and then you become the person they're always going after.

[737] And I feel like McDonald's did that when they started making salads.

[738] Like they admitted this wrongdoing.

[739] And now look at them, now they're serving breakfast all day.

[740] That was the best move they ever did.

[741] They're on the run.

[742] Doug Benson had a bit about that years ago.

[743] Like, why don't you fucking keep making that McGrittle?

[744] It's the greatest thing on earth.

[745] And you stop having it at 10 a .m. Like, it's so true.

[746] That McGrittle is, I don't, I try not to eat those.

[747] Dude, is that like where the pancake with soaked in syrup?

[748] Is that where, but like the bun is a pancake instead?

[749] Oh, dude, that is one of the worst things I've ever tasted.

[750] I love them.

[751] I love those things.

[752] I love them.

[753] I can't eat them, though.

[754] I can't eat them because it's fucking like 20 grams of sugar.

[755] It's so bad for you.

[756] No, everybody's got that thing.

[757] I like the double cheeseburgers.

[758] At Burger King?

[759] At McDonald's?

[760] I can't eat McDonald's.

[761] I'm not a Burger King guy.

[762] I can't eat them either.

[763] If I eat at those places, I have to eat something, chicken or fish.

[764] I just know that that burger is just, who knows, what the fuck is in there?

[765] Oh, yeah.

[766] Well, you don't go there for that.

[767] Yeah.

[768] I know.

[769] Why would you start serving salads?

[770] I'm going to go to a salad bar.

[771] I'm not going to go to your stupid place with the playroom next to it.

[772] Because you're stuck, if you're stuck somewhere, and there's only one thing to eat.

[773] Like, if you're on a truck stop on the highway and it's just a McDonald's, try to get something with some kind of vitamins in it.

[774] Dude, you know what they're like, they're like, you know when like a filthy comic decides he's going to work clean?

[775] that's what they're doing all right you're McDonald's you work blue that's the best when you see a filthy comic trying out for the tonight show their fucking act is empty it's like an empty box no you can do it though you can do it but it's not look if you're just not you look if you're just being dirty because it's punching up your jokes that's one thing all right but if it's really how you are I mean how I talk on stage is how I talk that's how I talk so for me to go up there and actually to work clean and do all of that is is me being a character yeah so that's why I just went like I think you know dude George Carlin you could consider that guy blue prior those guys were fucking brilliant as Bill Cosby you know Bill Cosby himself to me it's like arguably the greatest special of all fucking time you know what I mean it's a shame what he did after the specials or before or before during yeah I mean I guess he was just always doing that yeah I have no idea do you think and this is something I think you and I are the last two that he never tried to roofie.

[776] I feel left out.

[777] Tom Herrera says that too.

[778] He always gets there first.

[779] Yeah, he's already on stage with that.

[780] He always gets there first.

[781] But do you think that, you know how we were talking about, your mom, you know, could pull you over and spank you on the highway?

[782] Like, someone could do that.

[783] Like, my mom could say that.

[784] Like, I didn't even realize what my mom was saying was fucked up until her brother goes, Jesus Christ, what the fuck are you saying?

[785] She would just yell at me. I'm going to break both your fucking legs.

[786] and my uncle was like Jesus, don't talk to the fucking kid like that and then I was like, yeah, that is kind of fucked up but I didn't even think anything of it because I was seven.

[787] It's normal.

[788] Do you think that back in Cosby's day, like back in the 60s, do you think that that was a regular thing that people just would roofy chicks or they would give them quay ludes or they would give them a Mickey?

[789] They used to call it drop it a Mickey.

[790] Do you think that that was like a more normal thing?

[791] I have no idea.

[792] I have no idea, but I do know back then there was all that what were you wearing well what did you think was going to happen i mean it was really uh it was yeah dude it was i mean all of that that um uh frat boys shit all of that reputation was earned yeah just some of the shit dude i i i've talked to guys like 10 years older than me and they tell me like half the shit that they you know not half the shit but a sizable chunk of some of their stories with the hazing and shit they did with chicks would be like dude you guys would all be in fucking jail man for a long time yeah like the 70s those guys that came of age in the 70s yeah i remember oh god i'm not i'm not gonna name name one one night i'm riding in the car it was me and another comic and this other comic who was older and we were driving killing time we started telling pussy stories dude and this guy's stories every fucking other story me and the other comic are look at each other like dude what the fuck i remember one of his stories ended with yeah there were a lot of nose that night just like dude what the we literally changed the subject jesus christ yeah and he was sitting there laughing because like to him it there wasn't that was what was done so you know uh i i don't any anybody that says from back then that that was done to them after just listening to that guy talking about the 70s.

[793] I'm like, Jesus Christ, Christ, the 60s were like, so I believe, you know, all of them.

[794] Yeah, I think, I think that's what, I think the behavior that people had, if you've watched like those old movies or men would smack women all the time.

[795] I mean, it was a, it was all the time.

[796] Like, you know, someone would say something, backhand him, shut up.

[797] Dude, there was no pedophiles back then.

[798] They were considered dirty old men.

[799] Stay away, he's a dirty old man. That guy's a drunk.

[800] He's a bum.

[801] It was very just sort of broadly defined.

[802] Yeah.

[803] There wasn't even like a Catholic.

[804] pedophile scandal back then was there my man that's when it was going on we knew about it right we knew there was a certain pre -se you had to stay away i do this is so beyond any of anything that i even investigate i have no fucking idea i just in general i adhere to the thing that were basically hairless apes that can drive a car i mean i really just think that that's what we that's how we like when i watch when they first discovered that chimpanzees like eight other monkeys like eight other and that when they fucking killed a monkey they got off on it and they almost like walk around talking shit about what they did and just like I saw this thing where they taught to this one chimpanzee how to do sign language and within like a fucking month his ego went through the roof things started sexually assaulting other fucking...

[805] He acted like it got its own show it was unreal I was walking around like some spoiled star and when I just see the behavior of those fucking things And I saw one of this chimpanzee caught this other smaller monkey, right?

[806] And it's standing on the fucking thing.

[807] He's up in a tree and the thing can't move.

[808] And rather than killing it, it was just taking its index finger and its thumb was just digging meat out of the things back.

[809] And the thing was screaming.

[810] And the fucking chimp was getting off on, like, torturing this thing to death.

[811] And it really was like, it was fucking depressing to watch.

[812] I'm like, that's, that's, that's, like, so much of that is in it.

[813] Like, I really believe that.

[814] I don't, I'm a pessimistic guy when it comes to that shit.

[815] Well, I mean, that's undeniable when it comes to chimps.

[816] And we are a close relative to chimps.

[817] But when they found that video, when they first started filming that, I think that was a David Attenborough, nature documentary.

[818] I might be wrong.

[819] But when they first filmed it, that was the first time they realized that chimps even ate meat.

[820] Yeah, they didn't even know.

[821] No. They eat monkeys all the time.

[822] It's like one of their favorite things to eat.

[823] And they have these sophisticated ways of capturing them.

[824] Did you see all that?

[825] Yeah.

[826] The way they flush it out and everything, and then they surround it.

[827] And then they just get into it.

[828] And the way they, in the end, like, they're all amped up when they killed the fucking thing.

[829] Like, uh, yeah.

[830] And they eat them, like, from the asshole first.

[831] They eat their guts.

[832] Like, they, they, they pull them apart.

[833] Like, they hold onto their body.

[834] And they pull, like, there's a video of one, like, literally biting it through the hips and, like, pulling it, pulling it apart from the hips.

[835] Oh, yeah.

[836] Screaming.

[837] It's screaming.

[838] It's screaming.

[839] It's got this little face, a little face and it's little hands and it's screaming.

[840] And this chimp is just.

[841] eating it alive.

[842] I mean, that's, uh, that's our closest relative.

[843] It's crazy, but you know what that's crazy?

[844] That's fucking gross, man. Our other closest relative.

[845] That really just made me feel fucked up just visualizing that.

[846] You can watch it.

[847] We can pull it up.

[848] No. Um, there's a, I saw the back one I had to shut it off.

[849] It was on YouTube.

[850] There's a bunch of them now.

[851] They've, they've caught quite a few videos of it now, but what's more fucked up is fucking hate chimpanzees now.

[852] But those other chimps, the bonobos.

[853] I think they should be able to live, but I just, fucking, I don't want anywhere, I want to be anywhere near one.

[854] They're scary.

[855] They're very scary.

[856] We didn't, you know, we had this idea that they weren't scary because of BJ and the bear and all that...

[857] Tarzan.

[858] Yeah, all that stupid shit from television.

[859] We decided that there were these peaceful banana eating.

[860] You know, we thought they ate bananas until like a decade ago.

[861] We didn't even know.

[862] Do you ever hear why they're so strong?

[863] Why?

[864] I saw this whole fucking thing is the way when they, their brain fires a message to whatever, the nerve endings or whatever, when they can't do, obviously, they can't sit down and, like, play a guitar.

[865] Like, they don't have that type of thing.

[866] It's just like when they want their right arm to do things, like all the muscles from the tip of their fingers all the way to their shoulder, all the way to their back or whatever.

[867] I mean, I think you're using those anyways.

[868] Like our stuff is more like precision.

[869] Their shit is just like fucking, it's like a defensive blitz.

[870] Like everybody's fucking coming.

[871] So, I mean, I don't know.

[872] I just realized halfway through that it was beyond my fucking understanding of the human body.

[873] But evidently, like they just say like just giant like areas of muscle all.

[874] all just enact at the same fucking time.

[875] Have you ever seen what one looks like without their hair?

[876] They're jacked, right?

[877] Oh, my God.

[878] Pull up a hairless chimp because sometimes they get maimged.

[879] But you look at them, but they don't outweigh you.

[880] So you feel like, all right, you fucker, let's, you know, no biting.

[881] No biting, all right?

[882] I ought to be able to come out of a dojo, right, with a brown belt and juditsu.

[883] And if you looked at the fucking weight difference.

[884] Look at that.

[885] Look at his balls.

[886] Jesus Christ.

[887] Look at the size of the sack.

[888] that guy.

[889] Dude, that looks like Ivan Putsky.

[890] Polish power.

[891] That guy, oh my God.

[892] Dude, look at those fucking hands.

[893] Oh, now you know what?

[894] Now I don't wonder.

[895] Yeah, look at the size of the arms on the fucker.

[896] Yeah, he's probably 170, 180 pounds.

[897] It's probably as big as a man. But the strength they have is just unbelievable.

[898] I had a baby monkey on me. A baby chimp on me once on news radio.

[899] We had this episode that they brought in a bunch of animals for the scene.

[900] He was a baby.

[901] It was like two years old, and this little guy was on top of me, and he just started hitting me in the back.

[902] And I was like, whoa, like, what the fuck?

[903] Like, it didn't make any sense.

[904] Was it testing you?

[905] I just beat my ass.

[906] There's a little tiny thing.

[907] Just decided to start beating my ass.

[908] I mean, he was little.

[909] Like, I could pick him up, and I could hold him like this.

[910] But I knew, like, just from this two -year -old chimp, that if he decided to just fucking go crazy on me, I would have to fight for my life.

[911] This little two -year -old...

[912] Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[913] Two -year -old person, you beat the fuck out of a two -year -old.

[914] Every two -year -old on earth doesn't stand a chance.

[915] Because we're so slow.

[916] Yeah.

[917] Well, we also have fat.

[918] I used to do a bit of how, like, if a fucking squirrel ran up your arm and started eating your ear, like how far that thing would get before you even just grabbed its tail.

[919] Yeah.

[920] Like, you wouldn't even know what to do.

[921] Like, everything.

[922] Snakes, just lightning quick.

[923] Like, how fucking, like, the fastest hands in boxing is nothing.

[924] Compared to reptilian speed.

[925] Yeah.

[926] Yeah.

[927] They're fucking strong.

[928] They don't have any fat either.

[929] There's a theory because of that.

[930] It's called the aquatic ape theory.

[931] they think that people evolved around water and that's one of the reasons why you throw a baby in the water they close their mouth and they hold their breath immediately and they can actually kind of float, they float up to the top.

[932] I don't know who's...

[933] Have you tried that?

[934] I've only watched videos.

[935] I just pictured people in lab coats just grabbing babies by like the back of their pants and just throw in a mouth.

[936] See what?

[937] That's what I'm talking about right now.

[938] Look at that.

[939] But if you throw a chimp in the water, they drown.

[940] If you throw like a baby chimp in the water, they just start breathing water.

[941] They don't know what the fuck.

[942] to do.

[943] But babies instinctively hold a breath.

[944] Baby humans.

[945] Did you see that video of those chimps fucking with like that otter or some shit?

[946] It's one of those overseas zoos where they just stick animals together that fight because they don't give a fuck.

[947] I don't know why.

[948] Definitely there's no way with PETA and shit you could do that in this country with some sort of fucking otter or some shit.

[949] They'll put like a bear in with a lion.

[950] Yeah.

[951] And then watch it as they eat some fucking yak gonad because they think it makes it dick hard.

[952] That was very stereotypical.

[953] So this fucking otter, whatever the fuck it was, sea lion.

[954] I don't even know what it was.

[955] They kept slapping the fucking thing.

[956] Like, that thing was slapping your back.

[957] And what ended up happening is they got hold on one of them.

[958] And they just fucking dragged it.

[959] And the monkeys were flipping out and they couldn't save it.

[960] Dragged it into the fucking water and they drowned it.

[961] The otter?

[962] Yeah, or whatever the fuck it was.

[963] A seal or something?

[964] It was something like that.

[965] Drag the chimp into the water and drowned it.

[966] Bit it and fucking...

[967] Whoa.

[968] drag the fucking thing in there and the fucking monkeys were flipping out and I on such a sadistic level enjoyed that video like yeah you fuckers because I don't like bullies I just felt like they were bullying whatever the fuck was in the water this is going to torture your listeners because I can't remember what animal it was because like I said I was probably doing 20 different things at once and I watched that I don't know if you go on there monkey versus something eventually you ought to get to it Was it a chimp or a monkey Oh I don't know It wasn't a chimp It wasn't big enough If it was it was a baby Baby one like a I don't know It was small enough That this little brown thing Could drag it in the water That's the best you're gonna get out of me I would be the worst witness In a bank robbery They had legs And they were yelling a lot Pretty sure there were people Yeah And I think they got what they wanted Because they left Does that help you guys out there's a lot of those fucking videos out there too if you go you know bear versus or champ versus or tiger versus oh i watch them all the time i watch slap fights um you know what's the funniest thing ever what's slap fights just people it always ends up in a real fight or somebody gets knocked out it's just i stand with my hands behind my back you go first and you just wind up and slap me in the face what and then it's my turn whoever quits first so there's always that one guy who slaps with this meaty part here and catches you on the jaw.

[969] Yeah.

[970] And then the person gets knocked out.

[971] You know, one of my favorite things is, is the people when they scream World Star, like at this point, they're so excited that they're finally part of it, that they filmed another human being getting knocked out.

[972] Like the level, they're like, World Star!

[973] They just fucking goes through the, I'm sorry to you listen.

[974] I was probably just blew out their ears.

[975] How fucking high up and bitchy their voice goes and they scream it like 20 fucking times.

[976] it's amazing that one site became the spot where you would go watch the because they have the most epic fucking knock it's just not like like they you know what it is what them is they had a standard like you couldn't just get knocked out you had like the base level is knocked the fuck out all the way up to like I guess you know is that guy dead I mean it's fucking insane some brutal ones yeah there are there are without a doubt like I have a certain like my thing is I like if two people are squaring off they go at it and one person gets knocked out, and after they're knocked out, that's it.

[977] I can watch those.

[978] But, like, you know, when the person's on the ground and then they catch, like, another two, three.

[979] Or they kick them when they're down.

[980] There's a horrible video of this one guy who was drunk and he was mouthing off to all these people, and one guy stepped up to him and knocked him out.

[981] And after he knocked him out, while he was laying on his back, people came over.

[982] They pulled his pants down.

[983] People started kicking him in the face while he was unconscious.

[984] And then he was, like, making these horrible moaning noises.

[985] And guys would just run up and punt him in the face.

[986] not just one like many many people did it and people die I don't know he could have easily died he could have easily died no there was that kid knocked out that kid the kid square was getting bullied by the other kid he knocked him out and he was like I don't know I don't know in the area where the kid hit the classic thing he hit his back of his head and he went to a coma and he died that happened with a guy that Kevin James worked with Kevin James worked as a bouncer in Long Island and one of the guys he worked with got in a fight with a drunk KO'd him knocked him out the guy fell back hit his head on a curb dead and the guy wound up doing time you know i mean he was just stupid fucking you know 10 dollar an hour job as a bouncer and you maybe maybe shouldn't i hit the guy maybe i don't know i don't know what happened i don't know what the circumstances was i can't picture kevin james as a bouncer he's such a sweetheart of a guy he can fight i know he's a he's a tough guy i mean you don't you don't think that looking at him but kevin james hits hard no no i wasn't saying that i'm just saying he's such like a nice guy he's got a switch Like if people pissed him off, he would want to be.

[987] He's a fucking gorilla that guy.

[988] Because he looks, he's this sweetheart, and he does all this, like, physical comedy and laughing and joking around.

[989] But he's like...

[990] No, I opened with him a long time ago.

[991] He was a great guy.

[992] Like, certain people become, like, like, bouncers.

[993] Yeah.

[994] You know what I mean?

[995] They want to fight.

[996] And they, like, I used a couple buddies of mine from high school.

[997] And on a slow night, they would just walk up to somebody and just say, I, you got to go.

[998] you got to go and they would just escort them just because it was funny to them so they pretend to be a bouncer no no no no no no they were bouncers but if it was a slow night they would just they would just walk they pick some nerdy guy and just say listen you got to go you got and just watch the guy and then every once in a while they'd get somebody they would get upset and would start fighting and then they would beat the shit out of them and i just would just be like that doesn't sound like a good time to me i saw a guy one time at boston right he got into this fucking fight and they the fucking bouncers came in and grabbed him and I remember they just picked him up by his fucking neck two guys and just started running with him it was the worst secure because there was all these people that had to scamper to get out of the way and they're running with this guy like I swear to God the guy's head was like nine feet in the air and he was up there like going all right all right right screaming all right is they're running across and all the dance floor is parting and they got to the fucking door where they were going to go out And the door was a typical was only like eight feet high.

[999] So, like, his shoulders and head were above it.

[1000] And they were running like a 440 and just boom.

[1001] He folded in half.

[1002] And then they just threw him out into the street.

[1003] And I remember even back then just going like, that was so fucking overly excessive.

[1004] And if I was running this club, I would be like, dude, do you realize that you almost just ran over 80 innocent people?

[1005] I mean, at this point, dude, I'm 47.

[1006] So, like, my idea of the way young people think is from fucking 25 years ago.

[1007] So, like, my idea of what, like, what a bouncer is.

[1008] And to me, they were just guys who used to beat the shit out of people and, you know, in school and now just wanted to do it for a living, you know?

[1009] Yeah, there's definitely that.

[1010] I think Kevin got the job, though, because his kung fu instructor, Kevin used to be really in a martial arts.

[1011] And his kung fu instructor worked there and he got him a job.

[1012] It was just, like, a thing that he needed.

[1013] I think he quit went on.

[1014] all this was going on.

[1015] When I was 19, I worked as a, not a bouncer, but I guess like a security person at this place called Great Woods Center for, you know what Great Woods is.

[1016] I saw Eddie Murphy on the raw tour.

[1017] Did you really?

[1018] I saw Rodney Dangerfield right after back to school and he got big again.

[1019] I was probably working there.

[1020] When you saw Rodney Dangerfield, I was probably working backstage because that was when Rodney was wearing a bathrobe.

[1021] Was it those days?

[1022] That's when his hair was like yellow, almost orange.

[1023] Did he have the bathroom on?

[1024] No, I think he came out on a tux.

[1025] Oh, really?

[1026] I can't remember.

[1027] I remember Eddie came out in the blue suit, but go ahead.

[1028] I saw Bill Cosby there, too.

[1029] Bill Cosby was there.

[1030] I saw, I saw Kinnison there, like, right after his first special.

[1031] That was interesting because Kinnison did his HBO special.

[1032] So HBO special was fucking giant, right?

[1033] He was the biggest kid.

[1034] But then he had to write a whole new hour, and he didn't have a whole new hour.

[1035] And it was kind of obvious.

[1036] Like, you could see, like, there's a lot of filler.

[1037] And I remember thinking, like, wow, this is interesting.

[1038] Like, I hadn't even thought about doing stand -up yet because it's like 1986.

[1039] But I remember CNN, I was going, whoa, like, this guy doesn't even have the, he doesn't have, like, the jokes.

[1040] Like, Carl LeBoe would go on before him.

[1041] And there was a couple other guys, too, I think.

[1042] And Carl had a pretty good act, you know, but Carl's act, his act was, it might not have been as good as Kinnisins was back in the day, like, you know, during the HBO special time.

[1043] But it was tight, like, you could tell.

[1044] It's punchlines were solid.

[1045] He knew where he was going with it, but with Kinnison, you could tell that he was like kind of filling time, you know, it wasn't there anymore, you know?

[1046] Because he had worked for probably 10 plus years on that one hour.

[1047] I never saw a guy, like, so adversely affected by fame.

[1048] Maybe because I was such a fan of his, just watching, like, he kind of was every cliche.

[1049] And what kills me is when, right when he died was he was getting sober and he was going to, like he was going to turn it around, I thought.

[1050] No, he died with cocaine system.

[1051] Like I said, I mean, you know, the guy...

[1052] He had coke in his system when he died.

[1053] His autopsy revealed that he had done coke.

[1054] I think...

[1055] And he died, the ironic thing, he was killed by a drunk driver.

[1056] Because he used to do that bit.

[1057] We're going to drink.

[1058] And we're going to drive.

[1059] We want to pull it off.

[1060] You know why?

[1061] Because we do it every fucking night.

[1062] Yeah.

[1063] That was like one of his things.

[1064] Like, that was one of his filler bits.

[1065] You know, after his...

[1066] It just...

[1067] The first shit was so good.

[1068] Like the homosexual necrophiliacs.

[1069] the fucking starving kids in Africa.

[1070] There's a clip of him early on on YouTube where he doesn't have control of the yelling yet.

[1071] So it's really just like, you know, because he learned by the time of the HBO special he knew how to bring it really down, right?

[1072] Yeah.

[1073] It's not to come and then just fucking launch it and then go back to being quiet again.

[1074] There's a great one where you're watching him the clip that you see.

[1075] It's before he quite has it figured out.

[1076] And he's just way more yelling than he needs to do but i get chills when i watch the video because i was just like like this guy is like like knows he's on to something and you know he has like sunglasses on on stage he's got like driving gloves it's not it's before the trench coat and all that i've seen that video he has a comb over yeah yeah he had a brutal comb over thank god he went to the hat yeah the beret the beret yeah and in the end he switched from the beret to like these rock and roll poison style bandanas.

[1077] Remember?

[1078] He had those crazy bandanas and they would get long and his hair was long and the whole thing.

[1079] And he got big.

[1080] He got really fat.

[1081] He got so fat.

[1082] No, he just every indulgence.

[1083] He just, I mean, Jesus Christ.

[1084] I mean, he's one of those guys that probably, you know, his autobiography would be like 12 books.

[1085] Yeah.

[1086] His biography is good.

[1087] It's called Brother Bill.

[1088] It's by his, or his brother Bill wrote it.

[1089] It's called Brother Sam, my brother Sam.

[1090] Oh, I got to read that.

[1091] It's really good.

[1092] It talks about how he had a head injury, like a bad head injury.

[1093] He was hit by a car when he was a little kid, and it changed him totally.

[1094] It's one of the things that happens to people that have head injuries.

[1095] Like sometimes they get crazy impulsive, and they lose, they lose, like, whatever personality they used to have goes away.

[1096] Dude, comics are insane.

[1097] Yeah, completely.

[1098] Fucking insane.

[1099] Yeah, completely.

[1100] But he got hit by a car, got all fucked up, and when he got out of it, when he healed up, he was just this fucking man. It just didn't give a shit.

[1101] It was like the devil entered him or something like that.

[1102] It was just a wild man. It just was, had no impulse control.

[1103] Just was going crazy.

[1104] And it was also when he was trying to be a preacher too.

[1105] So like it sort of fueled his preaching.

[1106] Yeah, man. It's a really good book because his brother Bill is very honest in it.

[1107] And he even talks about Sam just Sam stopped writing.

[1108] He was just partying all the time.

[1109] He wasn't coming up a new material.

[1110] And he talked about how Sam before he made it was just this machine.

[1111] It's just like.

[1112] Like, he was partying a lot, but he was also working on his act, and it was important to him.

[1113] And, you know, and then...

[1114] Oh, yeah.

[1115] The difference between his first and second letterman.

[1116] You can already see the fame thing coming in.

[1117] His first letterman is just fucking...

[1118] It's unbelievable.

[1119] It's unbelievable.

[1120] The Rodney Dangerfield one, though, when he was on the Ronnie Dangerfield special, that was it.

[1121] That was it.

[1122] That was just boom.

[1123] You know, the owner of Dangerfield, Tony told me one night that, you know, how they used to just let Sam do whatever you wanted, But it was just fucking crazy One night he went on stage It's probably isn't funny now Because of all the shit That's happening in the world But he was staying there With this trench coat In front of this late night crowd Right He probably had half full danger fields You know And he's just sitting there When he had his hands in his pockets He just came on stage, right?

[1124] And he's going, look at you people You guys just sitting there drinking You know You guys on a date?

[1125] You're having a good time You're just sitting there How do you guys know What I have?

[1126] under this coat how do you not know that I don't have two 12 gauges under this fucking coat and I could just bring them up and just fucking blow all your brains out and he didn't let up he just kept going with that and going and going gradually people started getting up and fucking walking out and he just kept you know that low evil fucking voice he would do he just kept doing like how do you know how do you know and people just kind of fucking looking around and gradually and Tony was telling me, going like, yeah, he fucking walked like half the room.

[1127] He goes, I was pissed because they were buying drinks or everything.

[1128] But, you know, that's how Sam was.

[1129] But, you know, ended up working out.

[1130] He ended up getting a good bit out of it or something.

[1131] But he used to, like, to me, what I think is cool about that is the 80s just seemed like it was so much like, like, you know, so many comics that were just, because they needed a warm body.

[1132] We're actually getting, like, TV credits.

[1133] And to know that it just wasn't all fucking big hair and, you know, what's the deal with this and what's the deal with that, that there was actually a fucking guy doing that.

[1134] Taking crazy chances.

[1135] Yeah.

[1136] Well, that's one of those things.

[1137] You're just going up there.

[1138] You're sick of your fucking act.

[1139] You're hating people or whatever.

[1140] You just feel like doing that.

[1141] But I never had the nerve to start walking the crowd.

[1142] I never did that.

[1143] I was like, all right, I'm supposed to do a job here.

[1144] Do you ever listen to The Day the Laughter Died?

[1145] The Dice Fight Special?

[1146] Oh, my God.

[1147] I love that.

[1148] I love that album.

[1149] That's great.

[1150] It's a two -disc album, like a two -disc CD of him bombing.

[1151] at Dangerfields, unannounced decided his film or record his comedy CD after he did Dice Rules, right?

[1152] It was the first one just called Dice, right?

[1153] First one was just called Dice.

[1154] The first one was a monster.

[1155] I fucking love that album.

[1156] The Day the Laughter died is him going up to a crowd of tourists.

[1157] They have no idea he's going to be there.

[1158] There's not that many people in the crowd.

[1159] It sounds like there's probably like 50 people in the whole fucking room.

[1160] And he's just ad -libbing.

[1161] He doesn't give a fuck.

[1162] And I remember one guy gets up And as he's leaving, the guy's leaving, he goes, you're about as funny as a glass of milk.

[1163] Like, that's what the guy said to him.

[1164] As funny as that line.

[1165] I just remember my favorite one was when he was talking about how not to get into a relationship.

[1166] Remember that bit?

[1167] No, how did he do it?

[1168] He was just, I haven't listened to it years, but he was just being like, you know, you meet some chick, you know, you like her, you take her out, your whiner, you diner, and all this shit and saying, and she's not going to fuck you, so you just keep taking her out until you're going to fuck her.

[1169] So then as she finally lets you, you meet her parents and all that, you're banging away.

[1170] And as you're banging her, you're thinking, ah, fuck, now I'm in a relationship with this girl.

[1171] She thinks I like her.

[1172] He goes, this is how you get out of it.

[1173] He goes, you keep tagging her.

[1174] And right before you come, you go, okay, sweetheart, get ready for the go.

[1175] Something like that.

[1176] Or here comes the gook.

[1177] I remember listening to that by myself.

[1178] And I literally fell off the couch.

[1179] so fucking gross and so it was just so like i can't even describe it was one of my one of my favorite fucking uh now i saw him at the uh the worcester centrum wow at the height of uh when he first right after that new year's eve special that he had 88 89 88 so i'm like november 88 so it was just like uh you know everybody like the end of 87 all right happy new year see everybody or maybe it was maybe it was 89 it might have been it was in 89.

[1180] Maybe his thing.

[1181] I remember he had some special that came out towards the end of one of those years and I just was working in a warehouse unloading trucks and shit.

[1182] And we were all just like just one of those classic moments back then when there was only so many channels.

[1183] So we were just like, all right, see you later.

[1184] Nobody said, I'm watching that dice shit.

[1185] But this, we came back Monday, everybody had saw it and just, it was just weird.

[1186] It was just, it was, it felt like everybody knew saw it.

[1187] Somehow everybody fucking saw it, right?

[1188] And then he became the biggest thing ever.

[1189] And I went and I said, saw him and there was an unknown Eddie Griffin opened.

[1190] Really?

[1191] Yeah, I mean, I was thinking like, I think, believe it or not, I'm like a year older than him or he started really young.

[1192] Eddie Griffin?

[1193] Yeah.

[1194] Really?

[1195] Yeah, Eddie's not even 50.

[1196] That guy's like 46, 40, maybe Google it, man, something like that.

[1197] Wow.

[1198] He opened up and people were being rude and booing.

[1199] I was doing the same thing.

[1200] Oh, bring on dice!

[1201] Like I thought it made...

[1202] So I kind of deserved the Philly thing.

[1203] But I thought it, that dice would be backstage going, yeah, these guys really like us.

[1204] Like, it didn't dawn on me like, like, hey, maybe he.

[1205] He's friends with Eddie and he respects his comedy, which now I know that that was the case.

[1206] And I just remember, Dice came out and it was just, he came out and he did like 10 nursery rhymes that we had all heard.

[1207] So he would do the beginning and then everyone would yell out the punchline.

[1208] And then he got to a certain point and you'd be like, oh, that's good.

[1209] You did your homework.

[1210] Well, I too have also been working.

[1211] And then he just busted out like five new ones to it.

[1212] And it was just, it was the same.

[1213] sickest fucking thing.

[1214] A place was going crazy.

[1215] There was something, some starlight, star bright, something.

[1216] I just remember it ended my girlfriend's twat.

[1217] I just remember the punt twat is such a funny fucking word.

[1218] And the place, dude, I'm telling you, like murdering.

[1219] Just murdering this place.

[1220] I never got a chance to see him live in his peak.

[1221] I only saw him live once I started working at the store and saw him there.

[1222] We went to see him live.

[1223] Me and Norton and Bobby Kelly and Anthony from Opie and Anthony and Redband.

[1224] Went to see him live at the Riviera Like a few weeks a few years ago Oh, okay In the upstairs room, that big room upstairs It was fucking awesome It was we were in town for the UFC I wasn't working on Friday night And they were like, Dice is in town Let's go, let's go So we went and got a steak like gentlemen Went to a nice restaurant Had a great time Had some wine clinked glasses Got on a limo Went to the Dice show Oh it was fucking legendary That's fucking great It was so much fun But he still does like A little bit of nursery rhymes and stuff but he's got a bunch of new shit now.

[1225] But the thing that was different about him than anybody else was that it didn't, it was good that you knew the bits.

[1226] Like you could sing them like a song.

[1227] Like you would yell them out.

[1228] Like, what's in the bowl, bitch?

[1229] Oh!

[1230] Everybody would go crazy.

[1231] No, he was giving you what you wanted.

[1232] Yeah.

[1233] And then he was also still moving it forward.

[1234] So it was, yeah.

[1235] And the new ones were every bit as good as the other ones.

[1236] And they were new.

[1237] and then you were trying to remember him so I remember you go to the warehouse tell he's got new ones he's got new ones yeah it's fucking awesome isn't it crazy though because back then there was no YouTube there was it but you had to like go see it under a membership yeah you had to go see it and that was another thing too when there was so few channels even then there was still like 80 channels or whatever but like there was always those things like nobody said I'm watching that danger field special right it was just all the sudden Monday everybody came in and everybody you know do you see that guy moving where the food is Everybody knew who fucking Kinnison was or everybody knew who Dice was Eddie Murphy Delirious I remember when that came out Oh yeah That came out and like everybody just fucking saw it Everybody saw it It was a special came out back then It made you a star It was a different thing as today Like an HBO special today You don't hear shit You know they come out Nobody hears anything about it Oh yeah your mom TiVos it She'll watch it like 30 days later Yeah you know I finally sat I watched part of it And then I had to go Well they're figuring it out now with HBO Go, you know, they're making HBO on demand and stuff like that.

[1238] They're figuring out now.

[1239] They're catching up to Netflix.

[1240] Yeah, they are.

[1241] I found out of Kinison because a girl I worked with.

[1242] I was working at the Boston Athletic Club.

[1243] I was 19.

[1244] And this girl I worked with, she was fucking hilarious.

[1245] Just big Boston girl.

[1246] She was like 5 -11.

[1247] She was hot, but she was just just fucking big brash girl.

[1248] And she goes, oh my God, there's this fucking guy named Sam Kenison.

[1249] Have you heard of him?

[1250] Oh, my God.

[1251] He was so fucking funny.

[1252] I go, what What do you do?

[1253] She goes, come here.

[1254] She goes out into the parking lot.

[1255] And she does the homosexual necrophiliac bit for me in the parking lot.

[1256] She's lying on her stomach.

[1257] And she's going, you mean, life keeps fucking the ass even after you're dead?

[1258] Oh, it never ends.

[1259] It never ends.

[1260] It's the greatest line ever.

[1261] And I remember thinking, like, laughing at this girl who wasn't a comic, she was a fucking fitness trainer, telling me about this guy, and then I had to go see him.

[1262] And then I think I got it on VHS tape, if I remember correctly.

[1263] right the first time i saw it his HBO special and i was like whoa this was a game changer yeah he was the first guy that made me think that maybe i could do comedy because before i would see like seinfeld or i would see like uh you know someone who was like like just an evening at the improv type guy with the rolled up sleeves and did you ever notice and i'm like gosh it's not me i'm just i'm too fucked up my my sense of humor's too fucked up i'm too fucked up right and then i saw kinness and i went oh that's comedy too oh comedy doesn't just just has to be funny like maybe i could do it maybe i could do it he was he was uh i liked all of those guys i like i like i like seinfeld dice kinnison all like carly's what's the carlin ones i liked all of those guys like basically if you were funny yeah you know uh i totally i got into all of that shit but what made me think i could do comedy was actually those v h1 stand -up spotlights uh towards the end Towards the end When they'd go And guys were doing Like their fifth one Just scraping the bottom Of the barrel And I remember this guy I worked with We used to Before we'd go out We'd drink beers In his room You know I'd go over to his house Hey you know Mrs. whatever And we fucking go in his room And you know To save money Before we go out And try to hit on chicks We'd fucking We'd drink like a six pack or something So he was in the standup The way I was And we'd fucking watch it That's so fucked up would get legally drunk and then get in the car to go drive this was like the late 80s and 90s just what you did and um we used they have breathalizers back then yeah they just were that came out somewhere like the late 80s or something like that something like that but i i had the total fucking classic you know boston upbringing where it ended with a fucking DUI and all of that shit did you get a DUI yeah spent a fucking couple hours in jail and dad came down and got me out and stuff.

[1264] Does that fuck with you now if you try to get into Canada?

[1265] No, because it doesn't officially show up on your record until you get the second one.

[1266] That's how it worked in the state I was in and then the second one, then it says you got two.

[1267] But what it would fuck with is my pilot's license.

[1268] Like if you get a DUI, you're done.

[1269] Oh.

[1270] It's over.

[1271] Yeah, you're done.

[1272] Yeah, dude.

[1273] I'm sober now, guys.

[1274] Can I take this thing up?

[1275] Land and plowing to somebody's fucking house?

[1276] No, you can't do it.

[1277] But now, you can get it.

[1278] a pilot's license.

[1279] You can now, even though you have a DUI.

[1280] Yeah, wait, but I mean, it's not officially on my record, yeah.

[1281] So if you had the second one.

[1282] If I just got one, I think once you're a licensed pilot, if you just get one, you just...

[1283] They just take it away.

[1284] It's gone, yeah.

[1285] Yeah, that makes sense.

[1286] Yeah, that's a fucked up thing to do when you're drunk.

[1287] Didn't, like, Patrick's Waysie do that and he crashes, playing drunk and then fucking run?

[1288] Didn't he do that, like, towards the end?

[1289] I'm pretty sure.

[1290] I mean, if there's ever a time to leave a scene.

[1291] Well, I think he was, I think it was when he had cancer.

[1292] I think, like, when he had cancer, he just said, well, fuck it.

[1293] Let's just, let's just burn this baby down to the core.

[1294] I think he decided to just go out, guns blazing.

[1295] He did.

[1296] He didn't quit smoking or anything.

[1297] He really went out, like, you know, I can't, I didn't see all the things he did, but he wouldn't stop smoking.

[1298] He's like, I don't give a shit.

[1299] Yeah, I think he just decided to just burning out, just ride that bitch right into the rocks.

[1300] Just take that.

[1301] Which is his right.

[1302] Yeah.

[1303] I think, you know.

[1304] That's how he wants to go?

[1305] Well, if you don't do that, you die eventually anyway.

[1306] Right.

[1307] You know, why not end the game when you want to end it?

[1308] I don't know.

[1309] That's fucking hardcore.

[1310] That's a hardcore thing.

[1311] They get a fatal fucking diagnosis and just be like, all right.

[1312] Yeah.

[1313] Guess we're drinking.

[1314] It's hard to imagine that you wouldn't just try to clean your life up, try to soak some more life out, start eating kale and doing yoga and going on a juice cleanse.

[1315] But the phoniness of it.

[1316] You'd probably be like, this isn't me. I'm just doing this because of the hell of this shit.

[1317] He liked smoking.

[1318] You like drinking.

[1319] Christopher Hitchens.

[1320] I mean, he died the same way.

[1321] I mean, I don't think he tried to clean himself up.

[1322] You know who that is?

[1323] I know the name.

[1324] Famous intellectual, very famous atheist.

[1325] Oh, that's why I don't know.

[1326] Intellectual.

[1327] Brutely, uh, brutally, uh, honest and, uh, articulate gentlemen, wrote some great books.

[1328] He also had that very funny.

[1329] A socially.

[1330] He read that Vanity Fair article, Women Aren't Funny, and then backed it up with the video explaining why the women that are funny are all butchy.

[1331] They're all like men because women don't need that sort of, that sort of skill in order to attract men.

[1332] All they have to do is be nice and we like them, but men need that.

[1333] It's pretty interesting because it got a lot of people pissed off.

[1334] Oh, I remember that, yeah.

[1335] Remember that?

[1336] Yeah.

[1337] Yeah, he's like one of the four horsemen of atheism.

[1338] He's like one of the more famous of the atheist with Dawkins and Sam.

[1339] Harris he seems like that guy is like one of those guys that gets a feather in your cap if he goes to your party oh yeah for sure socialites i was always fascinated by that like you could make a living doing it oh it's a socialite yeah it's just really great at parties so you just invite them and they well do you know anybody that's an artist that's involved in like the art scene where they have like art galleries and people go to galleries and you have to like become friendly and hobnob in these social circles with people that buy art i i i fucking hate that shit I can't even tell you how much I hate museums If it's a car museum Or if it's got some tanks and shit I'm like a little kid If it's stuff like that I like it But I don't look at a bunch of old place You know worse You should go to the LA County Museum of Art Lacma I think it's called LA It's the fucking worst It is the fucking worst They have a box A plexiglass box An empty box on the ground And that's a piece of art It's roped off You can't go near it You can't touch it And I go, what is that?

[1340] Is that the art?

[1341] Well, that's the art. Yeah.

[1342] I go, well, what is it?

[1343] Well, it's supposed to represent space.

[1344] It's the artist's representation of the space is encapsuled and you just sort of, with your own imagination, you decide what's in it.

[1345] You don't want an imagination.

[1346] You create it because he's not going to, yeah.

[1347] It's shit.

[1348] There's one giant wall of videos.

[1349] And the videos is like a guy throwing a basketball to another guy.

[1350] And then another one, there's a guy who pulls a chair out of a way from a desk and sits down.

[1351] And then another one, a guy plops.

[1352] down on a couch it's just nothing it's just people doing shit but it's all in like a bunch of different videos that are spliced together on a big wall and like this is art this is art oh and those big fucking canvases where they didn't draw anything they just scribbled all over the place shit on it just put paint on that chest and rolled around on it and it's just like yeah man it's so bad yeah I don't get any of that like what does that say to you what does it say it's like I don't know that looks like the shit I used to draw when I was five years old my mother would put it on a refrigerator you know we didn't know how to draw anything you just take every marker and zigzag with it you know Bob Gersh's the guy owns the Gersh Agency I went to a party at his house he's got a house in Mapp Aspen Colorado with a rich ski town beautiful house I mean fucking staggering house and he had this piece on the wall and I literally said is this something his kid made like because it was framed and that's awesome and they go no no this is uh flutio flois they go that's like 25 000 i go you've got to be fucking chitting me this is this cost 25 000 or whatever it cost it was so stupid look and it was like a bunch of pieces of paper that were crumpled up and painted different colors and they were glued on to a piece of paper no dude it's it's it's it's bullshit it's fucking bullshit but why do people buy into it what is it because what makes that art and the difference between of a kid Because a kid can't sit here and draw you how you sit.

[1353] Right.

[1354] Okay, but those guys can and they choose not to.

[1355] That's what's in the brochure as to why that's...

[1356] The brochure?

[1357] As far as like their philosophy.

[1358] Right.

[1359] Like they're bored, man, withdraw.

[1360] And they don't want to fucking draw faces anymore.

[1361] Yeah.

[1362] So they want to fucking do some abstract shit.

[1363] It's like, all right, but you've got to kind of keep the face there.

[1364] You want to draw like some funhouse mirror -looking face?

[1365] That's fine.

[1366] But if you just want to take every...

[1367] color in your crayon box and just start scribbling around I mean more if you can get some asshole to pay 25 grand for that all right good for you good for you you know how does one guy like that get super famous like Jackson Pollock he's a perfect example like I didn't even watch the movie it's an interesting and I love Ed Harris but I didn't even see them I don't know anything about the guy but I just don't give somebody takes a paint brush and then splatter it's shit it's dog shit but they self for like a million bucks, like an original Pollock is worth a fuckload of money.

[1368] Because you know why?

[1369] I think when you have shit like that, it makes people think that you're intelligent.

[1370] Yeah.

[1371] man. Your culture.

[1372] Yeah.

[1373] You need the colors, man. It's like a warm kind of thing.

[1374] I don't get it.

[1375] I don't get it.

[1376] But I do get it when people collect cars.

[1377] Like I went to Jay Leno's place.

[1378] Have you been to Jay Leno's place?

[1379] Uh -huh.

[1380] I'll take you.

[1381] You want to go?

[1382] Yes.

[1386] like whatever you want i bet he likes pumpkin the pumpkin smells wonderful he's got 11 buildings filled with cars that that i totally get like if you're going to spend your money on shit that i totally yeah he could like have his own traffic jam on the 405 he could have is i mean it's legitimately better than any car museum i've ever seen in my life i've been to the uh what's the big one off of uh is it off lebray peterson is that the peterson yeah i've been to the peterson it's very nice nothing it can't fuck with j leno j leno's got way more way more space you know has a sick car collection, Ralph Lauren.

[1387] Does he?

[1388] Unbelievable.

[1389] Like, they were doing a thing one time, they were having this debate, our cars art. So the whole thing was, they were taking Ralph Lawrence, or how would fuck you say his name?

[1390] Is it Loren?

[1391] Lorraine.

[1392] Lorraine, Ralph Lauren.

[1393] We have Lorraine.

[1394] He's probably fucking Italian.

[1395] They fucking were trying to figure out how to get his cars into this museum.

[1396] It was one of those museums in New York can we get it up to the second floor so half the documentary was about you know just the the physical endeavor the the physics involved of the crane they had to create to get these fucking cars into this museum without damaging other pieces without ruining integrity of the structure and all that shit but in the process they were showing his fucking cars and did a brief interview on him on how he comes you know how he gets ideas for his clothing line off of like the lines of like these dude he had all like it was all like Ferrari's, Lamborghini Like, oh, wow, look at that.

[1397] Like, whatever the fuck that is.

[1398] I mean, it's just like old...

[1399] I think that's an old jaguar.

[1400] I think, but I don't know what it is in the back.

[1401] Dude, what is it on the back, right?

[1402] What is it?

[1403] It's a whole website for it, Ralph Laurennecarccollection .com.

[1404] All right, so flip through a couple, if you don't mind.

[1405] No, please do.

[1406] Whoa, what the fuck is that?

[1407] Yeah, it's all like...

[1408] A Bugatti, that's a Bugatti.

[1409] 1938, and it's all like...

[1410] Wow.

[1411] Pristine.

[1412] Look at that Bentley.

[1413] 1929, Bentley.

[1414] God.

[1415] God.

[1416] Wait till you get to his newer shit.

[1417] Look at that Mercedes.

[1418] Hold on.

[1419] Back up to that Mercedes.

[1420] Look at that thing.

[1421] 19.

[1422] Whoa.

[1423] Look at that.

[1424] That's amazing.

[1425] 1930 count trosi.

[1426] Oh, that's the sound of the engine.

[1427] Yeah.

[1428] Oh, you click on it.

[1429] You get the sound of the engine.

[1430] This is why their tanks were better than ours.

[1431] Look how pretty that is.

[1432] Our shit in 1930s was like, oh, God.

[1433] Oh, God.

[1434] That's the exact of the sound.

[1435] Oh, look at that thing.

[1436] An Alpha Romeo from 31.

[1437] That's fucking beautiful.

[1438] No, and the whole thing is, it's all mint condition, too.

[1439] Like, if they have, like, you know, those old leather straps that held down the hoods, like, there's not even, like, a piece of thread hanging out of it.

[1440] Look at this fucking 55 Mercedes.

[1441] Yeah, those are worth, like, baby boomers paid, like, a million dollars for those, the gullwing.

[1442] Leno's got one of those.

[1443] Oh, he's got everything.

[1444] I've watched almost every video on that Jay Leno's garage.

[1445] It's amazing.

[1446] His fucking garage is amazing.

[1447] No, because he's got the sickest cars, and he knows about him, and he brings people in, you know.

[1448] He had, like, Carol Shelby in there and just rest his soul.

[1449] Yeah, he's got everything.

[1450] Jay Leno's got several cars that are worth more than a million dollars.

[1451] And he keeps him at the airport, at the Burbank Airport, because Homeland Security guards the airport.

[1452] And he's like, if the alarm goes off, they fucking move in with tanks.

[1453] Like, they don't fuck around.

[1454] That's amazing.

[1455] Look at that Ferrari.

[1456] Click on that Ferrari.

[1457] You just had right to the right of that.

[1458] Right to the right of that.

[1459] Look at that.

[1460] God.

[1461] Look at that fucking thing.

[1462] 1962 GTO.

[1463] Yeah, there's one of those.

[1464] I read this book one time called The Limit.

[1465] The Limit, and it was about the first American Formula One racer that won the Formula One championship.

[1466] And they were just talking to all the shit that Ferrari would do.

[1467] Like if you had like a, for some reason, like if you're going to race in the race, they had to make a certain amount of the cars available to the public too.

[1468] Oh, right.

[1469] They wouldn't be hopped up.

[1470] So what they did was they were required to make 100 of this one car In classic Italian what they did was they just started numbering them at like 63 And they only made like 37 of them And now the car is like super super rare They just acted like that they made 100 of them Because they didn't come down and check it out They're like yeah there's 67 there's 83 There's number 100 over there All right see you later No one ever said where's number one through fucking 50 or whatever They started number like they knocked off like 40 some cars but the book the limits unreal just as far as the fatalities dude these guys would be coming flying by and like the crowd would be standing on the side of the road behind a rope and someone would get hit and they'd just go into the crowd and just kill people look up to Count Vaughn Crash or something like that they have his fatal accident on the fuck on YouTube he just goes into the crowd with his car takes out a whole row of people he's still alive and he ricochets back out into the track gets T -boned and then I think ejected from the car I'm not sure but the American guy when he got his first Ferrari oh here you go watch this look how old this right to the crowd right to the crowd and he gets killed oh my god yeah what's this slow motion oh this is uh from the spectator's point of view oh my god that person died Jesus Christ well those cars they're so primitive in the way they can handle and the way they moved and broke like when you when you lost I think that's him flying out on the left That might be him getting thrown from the car.

[1471] Dude, they got another one.

[1472] They got, oh, dude, they got some sick, oh, is that him laying there?

[1473] Oh, fuck.

[1474] Dude, there's some sick ones.

[1475] There was, like, this one guy went to a spin and his fucking hood came off and, like, went to the crowd like a Chinese star and just, like, decapitated a whole row of people.

[1476] Like, shit like that happened.

[1477] Did you ever see Lamont, the Stephen McQueen movie?

[1478] There he is.

[1479] You saw him laying in the road?

[1480] These are all the spectators and shit.

[1481] All the people that got killed.

[1482] Yep.

[1483] That's horrific.

[1484] Look at that guy's limp arm hanging under the stretcher.

[1485] Yeah.

[1486] So anyway, so the American guy, when he first gets the car, the last driver had just died in it.

[1487] And there was a fucking hole drilled through the floor pan because the guy got decapitated and bled out in the car.

[1488] So they just drilled a hole in the bottom of it and drained it out.

[1489] And when you talk about primitive, you'd think they'd at least weld that over because you wouldn't want the air to get in it for like that extra 100th of a side.

[1490] second but they just that's how we got the car whoa that's a fucking sick book dude they drained it through a hole in the floor well there was so much blood in there you know Jesus Christ books called the limit I gotta get it did you see Steve McQueen that movie Lamond have you seen that long long time ago it was like the 8 o 'clock movie it's good fucking movie they don't even talk for like the first 10 minutes of the movie it's amazing they go through all these things people do things they're just doing stuff setting things up nobody talks it's amazing it's like those old movies was just so different.

[1491] It was so different with what they could get away with.

[1492] Like the attention span that people had.

[1493] Yeah.

[1494] You know, like bullet.

[1495] I saw a bullet recently too.

[1496] It's another one.

[1497] It's like long scenes where no one's talking.

[1498] Like there's this whole chase scene where Steve McQueen is running after this guy in the airport.

[1499] No one's talking.

[1500] Yep.

[1501] Just one thing after another thing.

[1502] And it's just, it's kind of realistic.

[1503] It's just, it feels different.

[1504] It feels different than what you're watching today.

[1505] I like that old shit.

[1506] Although I'm trying to get into new shit.

[1507] I'm sick of being the guy that likes old shit because it's such a pain in the ass to keep it going.

[1508] I got old...

[1509] I got old drum kits.

[1510] I got an old truck.

[1511] I bought this old lighter.

[1512] I had a sense to some guy from Michigan.

[1513] The old stuff is...

[1514] There's something about it that you just can't recreate.

[1515] Like, new things are cool.

[1516] Like a Tesla.

[1517] Those are cool.

[1518] They're cool to drive.

[1519] They're cool.

[1520] It's new.

[1521] But that 1968 truck you have, there's something about that, too.

[1522] Oh, it's cool.

[1523] But we know what it is?

[1524] You know what sucks?

[1525] It's when somebody fucking...

[1526] You know, you just...

[1527] how much I have to slow down just to go around a turn.

[1528] I just feel like the suspension is so primitive on it.

[1529] Like, I feel like it's going to tip over.

[1530] Would you consider putting a monitor suspension on it, or would you want to keep it originally?

[1531] I, for the longest time, because when I got it, it was all original.

[1532] Three on the tree, drum brakes all the way around, the original radiator, the whole fucking thing.

[1533] So since then, I put an aluminum radiator in because those old ones ran a little hot.

[1534] Titus showed me how to do the front.

[1535] he basically did the brakes but I did one side he was just telling me what to do so we I did it yourself really discs on the front yeah Titus is a fucking nut with that shit oh yeah yeah yeah no he's born to do it man he's just he's fucking great at um but then um so you change the brakes changed that yeah but then what happened too is i needed leaded gas and it was a fucking pain in the ass and somebody had put too much unleaded and i put a little unleaded in there and what ended up happening was the valves got little gunked up and I ended up cooking the valve so I just said fuck it and we rebuilt the whole thing I said we I sent it to a guy he rebuilt the thing from the crankshaft all the way up to the carburetor and they came with the auto light two barrel I now have a holly four barrel on it which is cool because the barrels are actually smaller so when I'm just cruising around I get better gas mileage but if I step on it I get that extra that woo yeah yeah that sound you get from a four barrel yeah so it's I love, I, like, Fast and Loud is one of my favorite fucking shows.

[1536] I watch all, I watch all of those shows.

[1537] We were talking about that.

[1538] But I hate this.

[1539] So many of those shows are trying to be fast and loud.

[1540] Yeah.

[1541] So it's just like, I just wish that they would, you know, because, you know, it's a television.

[1542] They're like, all right, this is the formula.

[1543] We've got to have this guy.

[1544] Yeah.

[1545] We've got to have the Richard Rawlins guy.

[1546] And then we got to have the other, you know, I wish they would just be themselves.

[1547] And, like, you know, everybody builds different types of stuff.

[1548] But like, you're looking at it like an artist.

[1549] They're looking at like, they're just trying to make.

[1550] widgets yeah yeah like well these widgets are selling if you make them orange and this size like i was devastated when that paint guy casey left i was like fuck i like cc left yeah shit as you make fun of me no he left but he did he when they let him when they let him when they let him do his fucking thing he did a lace top one time that was the shit he did another one and they were making a low rider like when they would let him rather be like paint it green paint it black you know uh Like, I really wish that he had done more.

[1551] They'd let him do more, like, two -tone shit and stuff.

[1552] I like it.

[1553] That's funny to you?

[1554] It's funny because you get upset at your wife watching Bravo.

[1555] When you watch this guy, I would appreciate it if he did more of it.

[1556] He's a fucking artist.

[1557] He's not some fucking horror walking around making a porno.

[1558] How dare you?

[1559] You know what?

[1560] If I had someplace to go, I'd walk out on this podcast right now.

[1561] Please don't.

[1562] I just turned my phone on because I want to show you this.

[1563] I bought this thing because I bought this thing.

[1564] Because I'm also a fan of old movies.

[1565] So, Humphrey Bogart's one of my favorite favorites.

[1566] And I was watching this thing on the Maltese Falcon.

[1567] And he's got this thing, this cool thing in the beginning when he goes to light the fucking cigarette.

[1568] Yeah.

[1569] I thought it was a match he stuck in there.

[1570] And I thought it struck it.

[1571] But it's actually, it's a metal wand with like a little bit of flint or something on the end of it.

[1572] It's called a Ronson Touch -Tip lighter.

[1573] And I actually, I bought one and found a guy in Michigan.

[1574] that rebuilds the whole things for you.

[1575] Really?

[1576] Yeah, I got this thing's foolish shit.

[1577] Jamie, pull that shit up.

[1578] Ronson touch tip lighter, yeah.

[1579] Oh, here it goes.

[1580] It's just from the movie that you can see.

[1581] Yeah, yeah.

[1582] All right, now watch, just say Humphrey Bogart, Maltese Falcon, I guess lighting his.

[1583] Oh, that's it right there.

[1584] Yeah, watch this thing.

[1585] Huh.

[1586] How fucking cool is that?

[1587] I just saw that.

[1588] I was like, what is that thing?

[1589] I got to get one.

[1590] Do you use that to?

[1591] light cigars?

[1592] I have it more just as a showpiece.

[1593] Every once in a while I get a real cigar smoker comes over.

[1594] I'll be like, all right, you want to see something cool and I'll actually break it out.

[1595] The real cigar guys, though, they want to use a lighter.

[1596] They want to use a match that's a wood match, and then they want to light a piece of cedar.

[1597] Yeah.

[1598] And then they light...

[1599] So none of the chemicals enter the end of it.

[1600] They get really crazy with it.

[1601] Absolutely they do.

[1602] Yeah.

[1603] I have a locker with my business manager at one of those fancy, fancy, fancy places.

[1604] Yes, I do.

[1605] I've had one for 10 years.

[1606] I've got the same Cuban cigars in there for 10 years.

[1607] Anytime you want to go, let me know.

[1608] All right, here we go.

[1609] The Havana room.

[1610] Here it is.

[1611] Oh, really?

[1612] I'll definitely go.

[1613] Let's go.

[1614] So here it is.

[1615] Oh, wow.

[1616] That is pretty sick.

[1617] Now, does it put any flavor on the cigar?

[1618] No. No?

[1619] Not that I could tell, but I'm not the greatest when it comes to that shit.

[1620] Right.

[1621] I like it.

[1622] So, uh, oh, no, if you find a real cigar smoker, they think it's the shit.

[1623] They have all these different ones out there.

[1624] I got some cigars here where they dried out.

[1625] They're from that Michael Dowd guy who's from that documentary, the 7 -5.

[1626] We just left him here.

[1627] We didn't put them in a humidor.

[1628] You know what that documentary is?

[1629] DePaulo turned me on to it.

[1630] It's a crazy documentary about police corruption in like the 1980s in New York.

[1631] Like during the crack epidemic and these guys are just fucking out of control.

[1632] Just completely out of control.

[1633] It's a crazy documentary.

[1634] But the one guy...

[1635] They're keeping all the money and shit?

[1636] Oh, not just that.

[1637] just robbing people, being involved in drug deals, and just fucking insanity.

[1638] But one of the guys, Michael Dowd, just got out of jail a few years ago, and they put together this documentary, and, you know, now he's, he does podcast and shit.

[1639] And he came on and hung out with us.

[1640] When you go to jail for some serious shit, when you get out, there's like two jobs you can get.

[1641] It's either you can get into sales, you can, like, sell cars, they don't give a fuck, or you get into entertainment.

[1642] Or you go back to crime.

[1643] but dude you could literally come out from a double murder for some reason they let you out you could just go sign up for a fucking open mic and it's like no there's no background check you just you're in show business it's true yeah i've never heard of anybody coming out of jail from murder and going into uh into comedy have you but you could well there's there was that one guy who uh i don't know his fucking name he would i want to say he was on uh the fuck show was on him.

[1644] I remember him being on Letterman.

[1645] They were talking about he got to a fight and he killed somebody and went to jail and then he got out and was oh shit, Don King, Don King.

[1646] Don King killed two people.

[1647] I know he beat somebody to death.

[1648] Yeah, one of them I think he was acquitted for.

[1649] One of them I think they decided it was like self -defense and then the other one was a manslaughter charge.

[1650] He beat some guy to death that owed him money.

[1651] Like when he was a loan shark, I think he stomped him to death.

[1652] I interviewed him.

[1653] I interviewed him for the UFC.

[1654] I don't even know if it ever got anywhere.

[1655] I don't know if the UFC ever did anything with it because I never saw it.

[1656] But it was a crazy interview, man. He just doesn't answer questions.

[1657] Like you go, okay, so what was it like, you know, blah, blah, blah.

[1658] He'll go, only an American can a man of my fortitude and magnitude and come laude, come down from what we're dealing with today is equality between the races and the sexes and women today, they're suppressed.

[1659] I'm a, I'm a feminist.

[1660] Like, he's like, he's got this crazy thing.

[1661] He's covered with flags and he's dripping with diamonds.

[1662] I go, I mean, like, covered with jewelry.

[1663] You ever see Tyson's one -man show?

[1664] Yes, it's amazing.

[1665] How Grazer keeps calling Don King.

[1666] Yeah, piece of shit.

[1667] He owes me $100 million.

[1668] He sounded like a comic talking about club owners.

[1669] That fucking piece of shit.

[1670] He fucked me on this gig, you know, you never forget either.

[1671] Does he owe him $100 million?

[1672] Is that what he owes him?

[1673] Something like that?

[1674] I mean, who knows?

[1675] Yeah.

[1676] Who knows?

[1677] But I asked him, like, what's it with all the gold?

[1678] It's not gold, like, platinum or white gold.

[1679] He's just covered in diamonds.

[1680] Just got, like, literally, like, hundreds of thousands of dollars in diamonds on him.

[1681] And he's like, that's for the ladies.

[1682] The ladies love it.

[1683] They love diamonds.

[1684] Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

[1685] He's just got an anecdote and a, you know, a saying for every single thing.

[1686] He's just prepared and ready to go.

[1687] But you never get to the real guy.

[1688] You know, you just get the show.

[1689] Like, da -da -da -da -da -da -da.

[1690] But you don't ever get to the real guy.

[1691] That's old school.

[1692] yeah oh yeah he's old school well he's as old school as it gets he's as old school as it gets he kills people yeah we did there you're a fucking loan shark well there you go i want to talk to you about mass square garden you did mass square garden what the fuck was that like oh it was amazing it was fucking awesome it's crazy uh i got my money's worth because we i rented a drum kit and some amps and me and my friends came in guys from the goddamn comedy jam we came in and ben bailey which was hilarious because i wanted me and ben have been trying to get together to play for fucking ever And I found like, hey, I'm in New York.

[1693] You want to come and play?

[1694] Who's Ben Bailey?

[1695] Ben Bailey, Cash Cab.

[1696] Cash Cab guy?

[1697] You don't watch a stand -up comedian?

[1698] No, no. New York guy.

[1699] I mean, he never lived out here.

[1700] What's Cash Cab?

[1701] Cash Cab was a TV show where, like, you'd think you were getting into a taxi cab, and then you got in, and all of a sudden you were on, like, a game show.

[1702] Oh, really?

[1703] Yeah.

[1704] And I asked him about it.

[1705] I go, did anybody ever get pissed because they were going to the airport, and he'd laugh.

[1706] He'd go all the time.

[1707] Dude, what the fuck?

[1708] I don't get time for this.

[1709] I thought this was a real cab.

[1710] But he had to get like his real taxi hack license and all that type of shit.

[1711] It's really interesting that whole thing.

[1712] But anyway, so we went in there like fucking from like 2 .30 to 4 in an empty Madison Square Garden.

[1713] Like we just fucking played all this arena rock, motley crew, guns and roses and all that.

[1714] Did you film it?

[1715] Film some of it, sure.

[1716] What are you going to do with it?

[1717] Ah, it's just for me, man. It's just silly shit.

[1718] Now, so what, so everybody can tell me I suck it in my hobby.

[1719] No, because it's cool.

[1720] People who like you will think that's fun to work.

[1721] watch a guy they'd like doing something that he always dreamed of.

[1722] I'll see if I want to see it.

[1723] I'll show you some pictures.

[1724] I want to see it.

[1725] So what is it like 14 ,000 people in there?

[1726] Something like that.

[1727] But what was cool because I went in there and we played there that it wasn't intimidate.

[1728] Like I felt like I kind of got in there and I got the feel for the room.

[1729] Oh, right, right, right.

[1730] And when I went up, the lights were in my eyes, so I couldn't really see anybody.

[1731] so it wasn't bad it was weird dude i was oddly not nervous and i went up and i had a great time i was like after we played i went back to um i went back to uh i'm showing them pictures right now that's awesome smile on your face oh yeah oh that looks so cool so yeah i just went back to my apartment you know right after that you keep an apartment in new york got yeah do you how often I bought a place back there a long time ago.

[1732] And you just leave it there?

[1733] Well, I had a tenant for a while.

[1734] I was renting out to De Rosa.

[1735] And then once he left, it's like, I don't want to deal with having somebody else.

[1736] Like, I got the thing paid off.

[1737] It makes me a local hire.

[1738] If I ever get acting work, they don't have to put me up in a hotel, although that's never fucking worked out for me. I never get kicked there.

[1739] Everything's shot in like fucking New Orleans now.

[1740] Yeah, right?

[1741] I'm trying to find this.

[1742] There is a, there is a clip here somewhere.

[1743] We just had the best time, man. It was fucking awesome.

[1744] I'll play it for you when it's off the year.

[1745] That sounds like a fun gig.

[1746] It sounds like a, it's one of those gigs.

[1747] It's like it's an iconic place to perform.

[1748] It's not just a regular place.

[1749] Yeah, no, it's definitely totally lived up to the hype.

[1750] But I went up there and I did 90 minutes, dude.

[1751] I did all of my jokes and I said at one point that I wasn't going to leave him.

[1752] I didn't feel like leaving, but I did record it.

[1753] I'm going to do something with the recording of it.

[1754] I don't know what yet.

[1755] Like an audio recording or a video?

[1756] Yeah, just audio, not the video thing.

[1757] just, I don't know, they're just little me on that giant stage, you know, with the fucking 200 -foot curtain behind you.

[1758] Just don't think it looks good.

[1759] Did they have screens up so people could see you?

[1760] Yeah, they had all of that.

[1761] So it was, it was fucking awesome.

[1762] And wire to wire, I had the best time.

[1763] Deroza and Verzi opened up for me. Deroza had this fucking old lady sweater that he had on.

[1764] And it was bugging me when I was backstage.

[1765] And then he was just up there and nobody heckled him.

[1766] it so i just went on stage and the first thing there was just shit on what he was wearing so it's very like you know comedy club kind of vibe and the people were just they were just in it from uh from the second i got on there and i i uh yeah i just woke up the next day there was no let down there's nothing i was like that was fucking awesome i did every joke i wanted to do i can't believe i got to do that it was it was totally uh one of the most satisfying things i ever did and i you know And then, you know, the next time I did stand -up, you know, I was running like fucking 20 people down at the comedy store, but there wasn't like that, oh, now what?

[1767] Over that dumb shit, I was just like.

[1768] Well, there's never that, right?

[1769] No, so I know what's what.

[1770] Fucking write some more shit.

[1771] That's the thing about comedy as opposed to, I think, music, too, is that we always have to be, you always have to perform.

[1772] You got to keep banging at it.

[1773] You always have to keep coming up with new stuff.

[1774] Well, the guys that stay, like, you, Chris Rock, Louis, you know, it's a handful of guys that never stop doing the clubs.

[1775] I even think those guys that once they get their following where they just, you know, work out their shit in front of their own crowd, I think that even, that makes, it hurts you a little bit because if you go down to like the comedy store, you know, as much as somebody, if they're a fan of comedy, might know who you are, there's going to be a bunch who don't.

[1776] And there's going to be people.

[1777] And so, you know, and the energy is going to be different.

[1778] They don't feel like, oh, I paid to see Joe Rogan.

[1779] It's like, oh, cool, he's here.

[1780] And then after they get over the five minutes, then it's like, it's a different, you know, it's more difficult as opposed to if you're just doing your show and you're a headliner tonight, you know.

[1781] I did Melbourne a couple weeks ago, and Melbourne's fucking great.

[1782] Yeah, it's awesome.

[1783] And I did the comics lounge on Friday night.

[1784] My theater shows were on Saturday night.

[1785] But, you know, they have that comedy club in town.

[1786] And we called up, let them know we're coming in.

[1787] And, you know, they gave us a spot, me and Hinchcliffe.

[1788] And it was fucking great because nobody had any idea.

[1789] was coming there.

[1790] They weren't, you know, necessarily fans of mine.

[1791] And I got just, just fresh packed crowd.

[1792] And legitimate response to your material.

[1793] Yeah.

[1794] That's awesome.

[1795] I also feel like there's something about knowing that the people aren't there to see you, it puts you in a different state of mind.

[1796] Like you're more like, you tighten everything up.

[1797] You know, you, you, you polish it up a little bit.

[1798] You make sure that your delivery is a little sharper because you want to make sure you let them know, you know, like that feeling that you would get when you first started, when you, when you'd open up you'd have to open up strong because these people like who is this fucking oh yeah you know like you had to open up strong and then once you got them you get a couple laughs then they get a little confidence in you hey this guy's pretty funny and then you could kind of carry it on so i kind of felt like that i kind of felt like coming out of the gate like i had to have some good shit right away you know i think that's important i think that's important to do those random things you just show up at these places yeah you get soft if you don't yeah definitely get soft.

[1799] I know a lot of guys, they don't go to anywhere.

[1800] They just work out new material in the middle of their theater sets.

[1801] Ooh.

[1802] Yeah.

[1803] I mean, I don't know how they do it.

[1804] Look, if I'm on a roll, I'll fucking throw something out there like anybody.

[1805] But like I, you know, the great thing coming up in the Boston scene was you got to see at a very high level what killing is.

[1806] And I just, you know, there's just a lot of guys I've run into like wherever they came up.

[1807] I don't know what the headliners were doing there.

[1808] But Boston was like, you know.

[1809] Death.

[1810] Yeah.

[1811] It was like it sounded like a fucking train was coming through the road.

[1812] Yeah.

[1813] Dude, when Knoxie would start, would get on a row, a Gavish Sweeney and those guys, when they would get on a fucking roll.

[1814] To this day, people don't know.

[1815] They don't know.

[1816] It's hard to go when you watch their YouTube clips and you go, I don't see it.

[1817] You had to be there in like 1989.

[1818] You had to be there when the thunder was happening.

[1819] Like those guys were just on the top of their game.

[1820] People get tired of me talking about on this podcast.

[1821] Dude, you know what was fucked up?

[1822] There was almost like a height requirement, too.

[1823] They were all like six two, six three.

[1824] All of those guys, Lenny, all of those guys are like at least six foot tall.

[1825] They were just big fucking guys.

[1826] And they were men.

[1827] They were like fucking, they would punch you.

[1828] They would do coke.

[1829] You know, they were big, yeah.

[1830] Yeah, those stories of Lenny punched somebody out one time because he stole his joke.

[1831] Guy got off stage.

[1832] He broke his fucking nose and then went up and closed out the show.

[1833] Yeah.

[1834] Lenny was an animal.

[1835] He was one of the first guys.

[1836] The first guy worked for where I opened for, I opened for, I opened for, um, Warren McDonald, who was the guy we used to fucking do the open mic night.

[1837] Bill McDonald?

[1838] No. Who was his name?

[1839] Michael.

[1840] Michael McDonald?

[1841] Yeah, he had the same name as the same guy with the ponytail.

[1842] No, no, it wasn't him.

[1843] George.

[1844] George McDonald, used to host the open mic night.

[1845] His brother Warren took me on the road with him one night.

[1846] That was the first time I ever got paid.

[1847] The second time I ever got paid was opening for Lenny.

[1848] How was that Jays in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

[1849] Oh, God.

[1850] Did you ever work for Norm LaFoe?

[1851] Do you ever do any of those gigs?

[1852] Pittsburgh, is that way out?

[1853] Yeah, West.

[1854] Yeah, yeah.

[1855] It's North, Northwest.

[1856] Yeah, kind of, yeah.

[1857] Not quite like Amherst way, but like, it was fucking Boondock, but it was a great gig.

[1858] It was a great gig.

[1859] I fucking loved that gig was so far.

[1860] I remember doing Lee Massachusetts, I think, for Jeff Apotheca.

[1861] Who's that?

[1862] You just call up, in the best back day, you called up answer machines, and the answer machine would just go like, you've reached Jeff Apotheca.

[1863] No, you've reached Master of Ceremonies.

[1864] Jeff Apotheca.

[1865] something like that and you like you're like yeah hey my name's bill berraimo i got 10 clean minutes i can do 15 you know trying to get your spot so he booked me in lee massachusetts i remember it was exit two off of the mass pike and i went out there and it was the biggest fucking hell gig i ever did it was this restaurant area and then next to it was a function where a bachelor party was going on and there was no door between their room and when i was doing comedy so i was standing on on stage and these guys started gathering from the bachelor party and just seeing this fucking red -headed jerk off with a baby face bombing in front of three people eating chicken pot pie and I was looking over I was like I didn't get what was going on because I was so dumb I was just like hey guys you want to come into the shows plenty of seats I don't know why you got to stand over there right and I fucking looked away and then I just heard boom I turned around and somebody me throw this fucking dinner roll like 90 miles an hour at me and just missed me. And I looked and they were all gone.

[1866] And then I was on the mic, you know, and I snapped, you know, as you always do when you like that.

[1867] And I forget what the fuck I was saying a bunch of shit about them.

[1868] And then they started gathering at the door.

[1869] And then I was finishing my set.

[1870] And I was like, these guys are going to beat the fuck out of me. And I'm looking at the owner.

[1871] Now the owner told me before I went on stage, he goes, he goes, yeah, or the bartender says, he goes, yeah, this is the owner.

[1872] he also does stand -up comedy and I was like really and he goes he guy goes yeah he goes I got like two and a half hours they're material I go oh yeah two and a half hours he goes yeah and after tonight I'll have about three so I thought he was fucking with me so as I'm standing on stage after they throw the fucking dinner roll and shit and they're gathered over there or whatever I'm trying to go back into my act and I look out in the crowd and I finally notice it and the owner is sitting there writing down what I'm saying on stage and so long story short, I ended up leaving, get off stage, and I was just feeling them, like, to the side of me as I was getting paid by this guy.

[1873] All I had to do was look at them and they were going to beat the fuck out of me. It was one of those things where I had to literally just, I so wanted to just tell them to go fuck themselves.

[1874] But I mean, I would have probably lost the one of them.

[1875] I'm not the best fighter.

[1876] But I was fucking enraged.

[1877] And I just remember getting into my fucking 83 Ford Ranger driving out of there yelling at them as they were on the, like, fuck you you fucking driving up all high -pitched and just driving home screaming at my windshield as I was driving home what the fuck I have a fucking owner has a fucking bachelor and you're writing down my material had a total meltdown driving home and I had to be back up back at work the next day at like 7 in the morning but what got me through it was I came home that night and I either called Dane or Patrice rest of soul and I told the story and they were just laughing which just brings you back down and then they ah you know i had this gig and this happened and blah blah blah blah but like that's probably the closest i ever came to getting into at least wanting to get into like forgetting that i didn't know how to fight you know what i mean like you know i mean i could do some bullshit but i mean there's no way i'm taking on fucking five fucking guys but i just remember them standing there i still remember the guy that threw the role i still remember the smile on his face who he was just like almost lustfully wanting me to fucking say something so he could just fucking beat the shit out of me. And that would have been one of those Boston beat downs where somebody fucking bite your ear off or something.

[1878] Like there was always that story.

[1879] Dude, kid, I went to fucking high school, bit a guy's ear off.

[1880] He was biting his ear and the guy pulled his head away, took that away.

[1881] I met another guy that another comic I knew had his fucking tip of his nose broke bit off.

[1882] Oh, fuck.

[1883] He got into a fight at some fret and he fucking hit this guy right in the nose and the guy's nose.

[1884] fucking explode and his frat brothers grabbed him and they wrestled to him the ground and this dude he fucking did it to got got on his chest and he goes paybacks a bitch and as they held him down he fucking bit the end of the guy's fucking nose off oh my god and that kid was a rich kid so when they sued him and shit like uh it they got like just enough money to reattach the fucking the guy's nose fucking yeah that's why that's why i those stories are always fresh in my fucking head.

[1885] It's why I stopped, I mean, I think like the last fight I had was that somebody's fucking playing street hockey or something.

[1886] So it was probably like junior high.

[1887] But after that, everybody hit a growth spurt.

[1888] And that's when like blood and missing teeth started coming into fights.

[1889] And I was just like, you know what?

[1890] I think I'm going to stick with being funny.

[1891] I can, I don't, I don't have, I didn't have that, uh, despite my anger.

[1892] I didn't, I didn't, I didn't want that to happen to me. And I didn't want to do it to somebody either.

[1893] I really didn't well if you saw enough of it is that that stale awful taste of violence that just sticks with you for like weeks after it happens it just shies you away from ever being involved in anything like that again i avoided all that shit when i was a kid yeah it definitely it changes you if you uh look if somebody's picking on you and you knock them out i think that's fucking great i think you'd feel good about yourself but there's something about like uh you know you just have friends just their idea of a weekend was going out getting into fights You want to go dogging?

[1894] You want to go dogging this week?

[1895] Dogging, that's what they used to call it.

[1896] They do this shit with everybody had a chain in the 80s, so all of a sudden when shit was getting, you know, getting tense, they'd all be taking their fucking chains off and putting them in their pockets with their big Z cabareachisies.

[1897] I mean, it was fucking insane.

[1898] And then there'd be like those 20 on 20 fights.

[1899] And some chick would always try to run in and always get fucking blasted in the face.

[1900] And then everybody would fucking run.

[1901] It was brutal.

[1902] It was fucking.

[1903] But I'm not saying this was all my friends This was just This was just the environment And I never noticed how fucked up it was Until about seven years After leaving Boston And really spending long periods of time Away from there That I finally came back And went into a bar And just felt the vibe That somebody's gonna get suckered vibe And it was just like You just could feel And it was weird You could just feel it I was just like Wow like I live in New York And New York has like this fucking crazy thing about riding subways and shit and the warriors and you think all of that type of stuff but i don't feel that vibe in new york like the thing of the thing about new york is that everybody the riding of the subway actually keeps it safer i think the fact that everybody's mixed in together you know the fact that you're on foot there's no getaway car there's none of that you kind of had to be more civil you had to be great word exactly had to be more civil where that shit where you can just fucking go fucking nuts, throw a bottle at somebody, and then jump in your I -Rock Z and fish tail down the street.

[1904] Your I rock Z. Yeah.

[1905] I remember the first time I took Ari to Boston, I took him to Fanio Hall when they had the comedy connection up there.

[1906] Which is about the most pedestrian place you could have taken them to.

[1907] And still, filled with psychos.

[1908] All the bars down there filled with psychos.

[1909] And like as we're leaving, we're walking to the hotel.

[1910] We're seeing fucking street fights left and right.

[1911] They were waiting in line at McDonald's.

[1912] They just decided to get out of there.

[1913] They're like, this is too dangerous.

[1914] We've got to get out of here.

[1915] And then he goes, you grew up here?

[1916] I'm like, this is the spot.

[1917] This is what it's like.

[1918] They fight here.

[1919] They fight here.

[1920] It's different.

[1921] Philly's got a creepy vibe, too.

[1922] Same vibe.

[1923] Late night, getting a steak and cheese.

[1924] You start feeling like, somebody's going to catch one, and it ain't going to be me. I'm getting the fuck.

[1925] I'm going to get this to go.

[1926] What is it?

[1927] Is it the cold weather?

[1928] The fucking, the people that, the ancestors of the people that came over on boats.

[1929] It's like they're all stuck.

[1930] I don't know, there's a, because to me, New York, Philly, Boston, there's a through line of sameness to those kinds of people.

[1931] But I think the thing that struck me about New York was, you know, they always try to, they used to try to equate it to the sports teams that, you know, New York would win championships in Boston other than the Celtics didn't.

[1932] But now that even though, you know, that we've fucking won like a zillion in each, like, it still hasn't gone away.

[1933] There's a And I What you were saying How you have to act more civil There just is that thing in New York Where it's just everybody is Mixed up Yeah And in tight quarters So there's a There's a level of Common courtesy That you have to sort of Abide by Or you're not going to survive You can't walk around Being You know like those fucking guys Late at night When you're going to get That slice you know, to absorb the alcohol so you can drive home, which was so fucking nuts back then.

[1934] Like, you weren't going to survive.

[1935] You're not going to survive doing that.

[1936] There, you're just not going to.

[1937] So people, I feel like they behave more civilly.

[1938] But sports people try to make it about the Yankees and Red Sox and how, it was so funny to me. Like, they would say, like, Boston has an inferiority complex.

[1939] It's like, dude, they don't even know New York exists.

[1940] You don't understand.

[1941] Like, the same way New Yorkers are all about New York, Boston is all about Boston.

[1942] They know New York.

[1943] New York knows Boston, but they don't know shit about each other.

[1944] Unless you've been there and lived there, you're not thinking about it.

[1945] You're thinking about your life, your chick, your world.

[1946] You're not going like, you know, yeah, I wish we won World Series like to, yeah, you don't even think about it until the playoff series happens.

[1947] So I think that that whole thing was just like a romantic version of it.

[1948] But I really just think of socially when you have a city like, you know, New York.

[1949] I mean, look at L .A. Shit, they have everybody's in cars.

[1950] You don't talk to anybody.

[1951] People are fucking shooting each other on the freeways.

[1952] There's that thing when you're in your car.

[1953] You just feel like outside of your car.

[1954] It's a movie.

[1955] It's not really happening.

[1956] And then all of a sudden your car won't start.

[1957] And it's like, oh, this is really happening.

[1958] Also, I think the separation of the classes in New York is different because everybody gets together on the subway.

[1959] Rich people, poor people.

[1960] They're all together, walking down the street together.

[1961] In L .A., there's none of that.

[1962] There's very few interactions.

[1963] between people from Beverly Hills and people from Compton or people from, you know, East L .A. Oh, there's none, unless there's like a benefit or some shit, you know what I mean?

[1964] There's some political thing and somebody's down there.

[1965] That's, yeah, 100 % true.

[1966] It's a big problem with the culture here.

[1967] There's a great fucking documentary, which, of course, I don't remember the name of it.

[1968] What's his face?

[1969] Does the, Forrest Whitaker, does the voiceover for it.

[1970] I believe it's Forrest Whitaker.

[1971] and it's just about the history of the Crips and the Bloods.

[1972] But what's cool about is it starts off and it like outlines the neighborhoods.

[1973] You know, you always hear Compton, you hear Watts, you hear all these, but you don't really know where it is.

[1974] You know, it's south or whatever.

[1975] But they would, when they would say it, they'd show a map and then they would outline the neighborhood.

[1976] But they just showed how, like, with like racism, how they got, where they got all African Americans to live and just all the stuff that built.

[1977] But it was a really interesting thing as far as, like, neighborhoods.

[1978] in L .A. because L .A. when you come out here, I still have to being out here for eight years.

[1979] There's no center to the city.

[1980] It's just like, it's just this sprawling fucking thing that makes no sense.

[1981] You know, like the original center of L .A. was supposed to be Long Beach, which makes sense.

[1982] You'd want to have it on the water.

[1983] Really?

[1984] Like most major cities, yeah.

[1985] Like, that's where it was supposed to be.

[1986] Like that, whatever that peer is out there, that's like the second or third largest one in the world, I think.

[1987] Like just the amount of product that goes in and out during the course of the day.

[1988] So like the major downtown area was going to be there.

[1989] But it was just like, L .A. very subtly is one of the most gangster towns that there is out there where it just everything out here was just like the water, everything is just some fucking seedy goddamn story.

[1990] And there's always like a fucking decomposed body in every fucking story.

[1991] No matter what happens, they don't give a shit.

[1992] They just pave over it.

[1993] There's no plaques.

[1994] There's nothing.

[1995] Robert Kennedy got whacked here.

[1996] You would think, like, what they did with Dealey Plaza, which I actually think they went overboard.

[1997] They kept the entire fucking plaza the exact same.

[1998] You walk, they feel like in the Zapruda film.

[1999] It's weird.

[2000] But, like, they did the Ambassador Hotel.

[2001] That's where he got whacked.

[2002] They crushed it.

[2003] They took it down there.

[2004] We used to film Fear Fax.

[2005] I was to say, they used to film shit in there, and then they took that out.

[2006] And now it's like condos or a school or something.

[2007] Something like that.

[2008] I think somewhere there's a little plaque, like, oh, by the way.

[2009] By the way, Robert.

[2010] Kennedy got killed here.

[2011] We walked through the kitchen where he got shot.

[2012] We were hanging around there when we were filming there.

[2013] We were just trying to figure out where he got shot.

[2014] We're like, I think it was like right here.

[2015] Yeah, they didn't have it roped off.

[2016] There was no memorial.

[2017] Nobody gave a shit.

[2018] No. Yeah, that hotel was creepy.

[2019] It wasn't being used for like a long time.

[2020] It was just for filming stuff.

[2021] There's a lot of those things like that.

[2022] Do you know the original LA Times building was a terrorist act that was blown up?

[2023] I forget why.

[2024] I was reading this thing about it.

[2025] But, like, there's no information that I can find on the Internet where the original one is.

[2026] There's no plaque downtown.

[2027] It's just, it happened.

[2028] All right, it's over.

[2029] Clean it up.

[2030] Barry him.

[2031] Let's just fucking move on.

[2032] Well, I remember from, remember the Sopranos episode where they were talking about how many actual shipping containers they actually inspect?

[2033] Like, what a small percentage of shipping containers that would get inspected.

[2034] I thought about that when we're filming Fear Factor in Long Beach, too, because we used to film there all the time.

[2035] And we used to be there, and we just see these gigantic ships coming in, these cargo ships filled with these containers.

[2036] Who knew what the fuck was in each one of those things?

[2037] And they were all right there, just coming in, big giant boats full.

[2038] Everything from bootleg shit, drugs, blood diamonds, people to work in fucking rubbing tugs.

[2039] Prostitutes, yeah.

[2040] Yeah, yeah, all on these little, weird little boxes.

[2041] Allie's a strange place.

[2042] It's strange when you watch those old movies about L .A. But it's also great.

[2043] I fucking love it out here.

[2044] It's amazing.

[2045] It's a great seat.

[2046] I also love New York, but I kind of learned that because the first time I lived out of here, I hated it.

[2047] But I just learned that I was not going to hate where I was going to live.

[2048] Like, I was going to give it a fair shot, you know what I mean?

[2049] And it's, you know, the driving is obviously the worst part of it, both the traffic and just how fucking awful the drivers are out here.

[2050] They're just so fucking.

[2051] They're maniacs on the highway.

[2052] And then when they get off, it's like they took a pot cookie.

[2053] like them making a right hand turn how fucking long it takes or if somebody's car is just a little in their lane how they have to stop they can't just fucking drive around God forbid your fucking tires go into there's nobody coming just go they won't go it's just fucking unreal they're terrible with the left lane that's a bad one like people get in the left lane they never move out of it they're straight up terrible they're just terrible it's unreal and then they get on the fucking highway and they will drive past you 100 miles an hour pass you on the right and you're trying to get off That's why you're supposed to pass on the left because people are trying to get off.

[2054] You've got to go like, like, the amount of times people have flipped me off.

[2055] It's like, dude, I'm trying to get off this fucking thing.

[2056] You're passing me on the right.

[2057] There's like no, I think because people who like commute on the highway, it's such a motherfucker every day that if they see any bit of daylight, they just pin it and try to go as far as they can before they're going to come to a dead stop again.

[2058] It's just to deal with their frustration.

[2059] I don't know.

[2060] Yeah.

[2061] These are just all theories, Joe.

[2062] I have no idea.

[2063] Do you think you could live in New York again?

[2064] Do you like living out here?

[2065] I could live outside of the city.

[2066] Once you get a house and you don't have to worry about where I'm going to park.

[2067] I don't think people never lived in a city.

[2068] Understand how fucking great it is to just drive home, pull into your driveway.

[2069] Yeah.

[2070] And just shut the fucking car off and go in.

[2071] No, I am a, I, no, I don't think.

[2072] I would live outside of the city.

[2073] I love New York.

[2074] And, like Westchester or something.

[2075] something yeah whatever long island someplace up there i don't know long island that's a hall yeah and there's just a lot of meatheads out there i just it's like you're either fucking yeah you're either like you're either like a freemason or you're like the dumbest person ever that's my experience with long island and that's doing like the comedy clubs or like it's either like you're you got the money to live in the hamptons and like you know tom hanks is at your brunch every other week or like A coward's turn.

[2076] Or, yeah, you got these fucking, yeah, you either got that kind of money or you just, I don't know.

[2077] Some, you know, I did a lot of hell gigs out there, so I probably shouldn't judge it that way.

[2078] I did a lot of hell gigs in Long Island, too.

[2079] Long Island was brutal.

[2080] Jersey hell gigs and Long Island hell gigs, I think were worse than the ones that I did in New England, because at least New England, I was part of the same drinking water.

[2081] Right.

[2082] So it was the same meathead that we were running to when you went to fucking some gig in Western Mass or up and fucking, god knows where in new hampshire or something main main gays were weird oh just all those those mtowns yeah malden medford all of those fucking uh summerville summer summer summer summer now is like nice yeah it's gentrified used to be called slumberville when we used to do yeah there's like hipsters and cupcake shops and all that shit that's it's seriously they're handcrafted coffee but like uh yeah like revere yeah east east boston i lived in revere all of those fucking places.

[2083] Those gigs were brutal.

[2084] Revere was a brutal spot.

[2085] That's one of the most brutal spots still, I think.

[2086] I don't think that place has been gentrified.

[2087] Malden, Medford, and there was one other one.

[2088] I lived in Medford.

[2089] They all, yeah, all on the scene.

[2090] I did gigs in Lynn.

[2091] Linn was a rough one, too.

[2092] I think Connecticut's the worst, though, because Connecticut's depressing to me. Like, Massachusetts was okay because that's where I was living.

[2093] It felt normal to me. Like, even if it was a hell gig, I was like, ah, whatever, it just sucks.

[2094] but there's something depressing about Connecticut where like Connecticut always feels like there's no hope like it doesn't feel like a real state it feels like a highway between Boston and New York and then these people just live in on the highway and then they would come to gigs like to this day I did one of the casinos a few years back we did a weekend at the casino and I was like I don't ever want to fucking do this again this is horrible one of those Indian casinos I was like this place is fucking depressing these people are like legitimate mutants next time you stay in New York, and then you go to the west side, you just chopper over to it.

[2095] Chopper over to Connecticut?

[2096] Yeah.

[2097] Do you chopper everywhere now?

[2098] It would be just a straight line.

[2099] Like, if you went to New York, would you rent a chopper and fly?

[2100] No. No. I wouldn't.

[2101] I wouldn't because I'm not familiar with the airspace.

[2102] I'm not familiar with, like, the amount of work that I would have to do.

[2103] And then also, you can get lost up there really easily.

[2104] You know what I mean?

[2105] And plus you're also like, I mean, dude, there's three international airports there.

[2106] So that's all Bravo Airspace, Psycho, fucking, what are you doing here?

[2107] Right, right, right.

[2108] So when you, like, when you transition, like, Bravo Airspace over by LAX, like, there's, like, specific, like, rules of, like, hardcore.

[2109] Like, you have to say your whole tail number and the guy has to repeat your entire tail number.

[2110] And if he doesn't, you've got to repeat, you got to say your whole tail number, just making sure, you know, November 3 -2 -3 Sierra Hotel, you know, clear to transition, you know, 500 feet of pulver, or whatever, right?

[2111] But, you know, you go by regular fucking airports, it's not that, but the level of traffic that they're, I mean, you're talking about, you're in the vicinity of something, you would kill 300 people, plus people on the fucking ground.

[2112] So it's like, yeah.

[2113] Well, I mean, I look at it if I did it, then fuck me, you know what I mean?

[2114] Because I'm an idiot.

[2115] I'm the idiot who did it.

[2116] So it's, it's, so if I was to rent something there.

[2117] And the other thing, too, is you have no idea what's going on with that helicopter either.

[2118] Where I fly out of, I fly the same place where they taught me, and those guys, it's a great school.

[2119] And, you know, the 90 % of the flying of those helicopters is basically done with an instructor in there.

[2120] So they're looking to make sure they don't overspeed the main rotor.

[2121] They're not yanking the guts out of it, basically.

[2122] Because what happens is every, like, 2 ,200 hours, those things are going to.

[2123] entirely taken apart and then rebuilt.

[2124] That's why they're so safe.

[2125] Yeah, dude.

[2126] They're not just like you fucking fly over people's houses in some shit box.

[2127] 2 ,200 hours of flying?

[2128] Yeah.

[2129] Wow.

[2130] So, yeah, and the overhaul, like, is a zillion fucking dollars.

[2131] Which is why, if you ever look at a helicopter, like, why is this thing only 30 grand?

[2132] It's because it's due for an overhaul.

[2133] So.

[2134] And how much is an overhaul cost?

[2135] Like hundreds of thousands at all.

[2136] Like hundreds.

[2137] Yeah.

[2138] It's like you almost got to buy the thing again.

[2139] Wow.

[2140] And so you have to do that every 2 ,200 miles?

[2141] 2200 hours 2200 hours 2200 hours so so but here's a thing so if something has 1 ,500 hours on it but somebody's been flying it like a jerk off like just fucking yanking the guts out of the fucking thing is then what happens is is that 2200 hours where something could go wrong now becomes 2 ,000 hours or 1 ,800 hours because the thing about metal fatigue like a weld failing or something like that is you can't see that until it.

[2142] basically happens.

[2143] So if somebody is flying it like an asshole and they're not maintaining it, you know, like if you know, you give somebody a fucking car and they change the oil, keep it lubed up and all that and they're not redlining it, that car is going to last 10 years.

[2144] You give it to some fucking jerk off and they just start it up and step on it.

[2145] It's a shitbox within fucking a couple of years.

[2146] So that it's for me anyways, like just the hours that are on it is just the first thing i need to know like i'd have to know the school i'd have to know who's been flying the fun there's no fucking way i would i wouldn't i just wouldn't so do you own your own helicopter or you rent one you rent one no i i i i can't justify doing that what so i can just fly over dodger stadium oh that was cool and put it back down you know i um but you you fly to gigs right like didn't you fly to san die yeah i flew down and i flew down with an instructor because i was the first time i was doing it i wasn't familiar and he was handling a lot of the radio and the calls and that type of shit.

[2147] But I flew the thing, and it was, I flew an R44, which is a four passenger.

[2148] It's fucking awesome.

[2149] So you go down there, does he come with you to the gig?

[2150] Oh, yeah, yeah, it was perfect.

[2151] Him and his brother came, and then Kevin Shea rode in the back, and they had a great fucking time.

[2152] And it would have been cool if we could have landed right at the venue, but what it was was in, like, this canyon area, and there was a bunch of high wires.

[2153] And by the time we got out, it was going to be nighttime.

[2154] Oh.

[2155] And it didn't want to fly out of that.

[2156] So that was the only sort of buzz kill.

[2157] What's it like flying at night?

[2158] Oh, I got video, dude.

[2159] It's fucking unreal.

[2160] It's really, it's really, uh, it's a beautiful thing.

[2161] Dude, flying out over the ocean and just seeing the shit that's out there that's left compared to what the fuck we did to it.

[2162] But like, the amount of times I've flown out over there and I just see, like, looking down, like, what the fuck is that?

[2163] And then you look up a couple hundred yards and somebody sitting on a surfboard waiting to catch a wave.

[2164] You want to be like, dude, there's something that could swallow you whole.

[2165] Like, what did you see?

[2166] I don't know what it was.

[2167] Like a shark or something?

[2168] I don't know what.

[2169] I mean, it's weird.

[2170] Like, when you're up high, like, you know, 1 ,500 feet or when whales come up, like when they're just right at the surface because their body, it obviously all wet, when the sun hits it, they look like almost like glow sticks.

[2171] It's really fucking weird.

[2172] Like, almost like, I don't know what the fuck is.

[2173] Is it a caterpillar that glows?

[2174] One of those fucking glowing things.

[2175] That's what it looks like.

[2176] But when you're down low, there's been a couple of times, and I've had buddies, too.

[2177] I know a guy he was doing, you know, he was flying a thing out for a shoot.

[2178] And then he's really yanking the guts out of it, you know, just on that one flight, but he said he fucking was coming back around.

[2179] They were filming like a boat race, and he fucking came around like that.

[2180] You know, he was on his side.

[2181] He looked down.

[2182] He went, whoa, it was a big fucking great white shark near the surface.

[2183] I mean, they weren't like real low to the ground.

[2184] I mean, they were, you know, 500 feet up, but like you can't miss, you can't miss a 30 -foot, 25 -foot fucking great white or something.

[2185] I don't think I've ever seen a great white, but I've seen like you can't believe, and maybe it's because we're up in the air.

[2186] It seems like it's closer to the coast, but you can't believe.

[2187] What the fuck is...

[2188] Dude, that's like, literally, like, no one would walk into the jungle.

[2189] You know what I mean?

[2190] Because, you're like, dude, there's like tigers and lions and cobras and here.

[2191] I'm not doing this shit.

[2192] But the ocean is the water version of a jungle, and you're just walking into this shit.

[2193] And your head, where your fucking eyes are, where you can see everything.

[2194] Would you ever walk into a jungle?

[2195] Like, you know, like, when somebody finishes their basement, you know, you can, like, push your head through those tiles.

[2196] Right.

[2197] Have one of those on your head.

[2198] And you can't see where you're going and just walk into the jungle.

[2199] You would never do that.

[2200] Dude, the ocean is absolutely fucking terrifying to me, and I will never, never, ever go in it.

[2201] So one time I did a flight, I did a flight to Catalina Island, and we're literally, you get like, you do that, man, you're flying over water.

[2202] It's a single engine.

[2203] So you got to have flares.

[2204] You got a fucking life jacket on and shit.

[2205] And that was the only thing I was worried about.

[2206] I was just like, dude, I'm not even worried about dying right now.

[2207] I'm worried about crash landing into this shit living.

[2208] and then waiting to fucking die.

[2209] It doesn't happen often, but when it happens, I never forget it.

[2210] There was a guy just a couple of years ago.

[2211] I think maybe just last year in Santa Barbara, a surfer got killed by a Great White.

[2212] And my favorite story was a guy in San Diego, training for a triathlon.

[2213] It was him and a few other people.

[2214] They were all in a row, and they were all swimming in this fucking whopper.

[2215] They said it had to be like 18 plus feet, came along, bit the guy in half in front of everybody, and just, you know, severed them in half.

[2216] killed them right there just bled out everyone's screaming that's the best way swam away the best way yeah just bite me in half get it over it dude if I saw a shark coming at me I would fucking swim towards my head just shove it right in there I'm not gonna have you take a bite of my leg and see if I'm edible and see if you could get a tourniquet on it before you can hovel the shore no fuck all that fuck all of that yeah it's a weird way to go it is a crazy thing because if sharks and monkeys dude that's it I'm with you.

[2217] She, that fucking ripped that woman's face off.

[2218] Oh, yeah.

[2219] Dude, you know when they fight each other?

[2220] They fucking twist the foot off and they fucking yank the guy, the fucking ball bag off.

[2221] That's the first thing they go for.

[2222] Fuck that.

[2223] They know what makes you a person.

[2224] They know your fingers.

[2225] They go for your fingers.

[2226] They tear your fingers off.

[2227] They bite them off.

[2228] They bite your balls off.

[2229] Yeah.

[2230] Yeah, they're ruthless.

[2231] They think, too.

[2232] That's the problem.

[2233] They're thinking.

[2234] Dude, my dog thinks.

[2235] Forget about those things.

[2236] Dude, that is like You know like when there's just that big guy In a bar who's a fucking psycho And you're just sitting there going I wish there was somebody big enough To fucking handle this so I can feel better Like that's that times a thousand If a chimp just goes You know one of the guys Bring back to F is a fan One of the guys that I work with Got attacked by a monkey one time When he was a kid And to this day He had the funniest thing He goes, I hate when I go on shoots And there's monkeys He goes, I fucking hate it He goes, because what's going to happen is, you know, you're going to get two or three takes.

[2237] Everybody knows.

[2238] He goes, you do two or three takes.

[2239] And then after that, the monkey's just going to do whatever the fuck it wants to do.

[2240] And then the handler's going to try to get it back under the hood or whatever the fuck it's doing.
