1:52

Seaside for details. I

1:54

said to someone, they go, what are your expectations for the machine

1:56

opening day weekend? And I was saying

1:59

on press.

1:59

152 million opening their weekend. So

2:02

you want it to be bigger than Top Gun Maverick? And

2:06

I went, is that how big that is? And they're like,

2:08

it made 120 million. And I went, whoa.

2:11

This is gonna be huge then. Holy

2:13

shit, 150, that's record

2:15

breaking numbers. Wow,

2:18

I had no idea the machine was gonna be that

2:20

big. That's

2:21

gonna be crazy. I

2:24

think it's the fun thing

2:25

about my career is that people think that I'm just

2:27

an alcoholic. And then

2:29

they see me, did I work every day?

2:31

Yeah, no, so like, I thought you were an alcoholic

2:34

too. And then like, when we did the movie, I

2:37

was like, oh, he's not like addicted

2:39

to drinking. He just likes to drink. Yeah, yeah.

2:41

I don't need to wake up and drink. I just

2:43

like to have drinks. Did I ever tell

2:46

you that you posted a video one

2:48

time?

2:50

And I think this was

2:52

before we did the movie.

2:54

And it was, I didn't know what

2:57

these things were. I thought these were

2:59

like seltzers or something. And

3:01

you had like five of these next to your bed. And

3:03

you were like making a video. Like,

3:06

hey, what's up guys? And I was like, oh fuck.

3:10

He's got these next to his bed.

3:13

I was like, the dude is sucking down

3:15

like six hall boys in the morning.

3:17

I drink them pretty fast too. There

3:20

were like six empty ones and you were drinking

3:22

one and like making a video in the morning. And

3:25

I was like, oh man, I knew you'd like

3:27

to drink, that is fucked up. Yeah,

3:29

no, I

3:31

just like to have drinks. I like, my

3:34

real addiction is being

3:36

social. I want people around me. I want people around

3:38

me all the time. I don't want, that's

3:40

what I love about this house. I wake up, I come here and everyone's

3:43

here. Yeah. It's

3:46

like camp, you get that moment where you're like, like,

3:48

hey, how did everyone sleep last night? Yeah,

3:51

like I was never the guy that went to sleep

3:54

first at sleepovers. Oh my God. I think

3:56

that carries on to what

3:59

you're talking about. You don't want to be

4:01

the first one to go to sleep. That's why I love a tour

4:03

bus. Tour bus is the best.

4:06

When you wake up in the morning, especially after everyone's been partying,

4:08

and you wake up in the morning and you have one joke that you went to

4:10

bed with,

4:12

and then you hear a curtain open, and

4:14

someone starts that joke all over again, and

4:16

then everyone's like, hey, where are we going to breakfast? And you're

4:19

like, oh. That question, I love that

4:21

question. I love a diner. If

4:23

I can find a diner, like I'm about to go shoot

4:25

for two months, as long as I can find

4:27

a diner. You got a good group you're shooting with, though.

4:30

I just saw, I just saw,

4:32

well, I know the one I saw is, I fucking

4:34

love this lady, Leanne Morgan. Oh,

4:37

yeah, yeah, yeah. She's playing like

4:39

my fiance's mom or something.

4:42

She is the, you're gonna fall

4:44

in love with her. Like, the first time

4:46

she talks to you, you're gonna go, oh, I could listen

4:48

to her talk. I think I met her at a table read.

4:51

Really? We did a table read for the movie and then like. What

4:53

movie is it? It's called You're

4:56

Cordially Invited.

4:58

It's Will

5:00

Fell, Reese Witherspoon, Geraldine,

5:03

this one, Ethan, and Meredith Hagner, and

5:06

then Leanne Morgan as well. Leanne Morgan and you, and

5:08

then there's like a couple other people that I recognize

5:10

that were just, that were in it. Yeah, I'm

5:12

not sure. I don't know the forecast.

5:14

Yeah, I don't know

5:16

the forecast, but it's a good group. And then it's

5:18

like Nick Stoller is the writer and director.

5:21

He did like, forgetting

5:23

Sarah Marshall, and then he's like,

5:25

I'm gonna get him to the Greek, Neighbors.

5:27

Neighbors is a big movie. Yeah. Did

5:30

you, are you used to that yet? Like

5:32

of the, like I'm going somewhere for two months?

5:35

Yeah, I kind of like it. Yeah?

5:38

Yeah, I like going to,

5:41

like I like going to a new place and just being there

5:44

and not like stopping by for like a little

5:46

bit, but like actually

5:48

like living in a random ass place that

5:51

you would have never otherwise gone immersing

5:54

and like

5:55

the energy there and like the local

5:57

vibes. I find a diner that I like and then like.

6:00

I'll bring my Apple TV, someone I'm bored,

6:02

I'll just watch whatever movies. I can't do that,

6:04

I can't watch it. Really? Yeah,

6:07

I lost the ability to watch

6:09

television, I think. It

6:12

makes me feel like I'm wasting my life. Diagnosed? Yeah,

6:14

yeah, I diagnosed. I went

6:17

to a doctor and everything. He put on a show and

6:19

he was like, this is Sopranos, and I was like, pass.

6:21

You can't watch Sopranos? I've never seen it. Dude,

6:24

I watched it for the first time during the pandemic,

6:26

and that's pretty late. That's pretty late, is

6:28

it good? But it's fucking, it's really, it's

6:31

funny. It's like a comedy show.

6:33

For real? About sensitive mafia guys.

6:36

Sweet. They'd be like, yeah, you just respected me, stepped

6:38

on my shoe, and let's fucking kill his family.

6:42

But I've never seen Sopranos, I've

6:44

never seen any of the bingeable shit,

6:47

I've never seen that, still don't listen to Drake,

6:49

I don't know Drake. That's like the big

6:52

one.

6:52

Not listening to Drake? Oh, Drake is like-

6:54

But you're like familiar with Drake. Like if you wrote a Drake song,

6:56

you'd be like, that's Drake. I keep waiting, I

6:59

look at Drake, and I think

7:01

he'd be like,

7:02

Oh baby, I'm

7:05

gonna rub you down. I

7:07

mean, that's not that far off. For

7:09

real? I don't know if he says I wanna rub you down,

7:12

but like,

7:13

you had it with Oh Baby. Oh, you

7:16

remember when you told me that I was a fan

7:18

of Migos?

7:19

Yeah, you were, you are a big fan of Migos. And I

7:21

was like- You were playing, I was playing all this good

7:24

music, and you were like, this is all shit. And

7:26

then I put on some Migos, and

7:28

you're like this. That was a disconnect. Is that

7:30

like, that's when, I think a lot of guys

7:33

think they can fuck younger chicks until

7:35

they hang out with a younger person. And then

7:37

they're like, you've never seen Ace Ventura? You know? Right,

7:40

right. And then they go, oh, all our fucking, we

7:42

do not connect at all. Yeah. Because

7:44

I remember we were listening to your music, and my cousin

7:46

Andrew was with us. And I was like,

7:49

man,

7:50

I like any of Jimmy's songs. He's like,

7:53

yeah, he's also 20 years younger than you.

7:55

And I went, and I went, so? He's

7:58

like, dude, all the shit you listen to. to just

8:01

his parents listened to. And I was

8:03

like, fuck. And then you turn on Migos.

8:05

And I had always said I didn't like Migos. I

8:07

fucking love Migos.

8:09

Camila, not enjoying

8:11

Migos. You know who Shane Gillis is? I

8:14

know the name. He's a comedian, you'd love him. You'd

8:16

fucking love him. He, we

8:18

did a, we did shows that in,

8:21

sorry fuck, where were we? It was for the

8:24

Superbowl. And Drake was having a party and

8:26

his, I mean, I've

8:28

never seen someone care so much

8:30

about going to a fucking party. He's like, it's Drake,

8:33

dude, it's Drake. And I was like, yeah,

8:35

he doesn't,

8:36

I can't imagine dating a chick who was like, we

8:39

have to go to the Drake party. I'd be like, I

8:41

miss Leanne. Yeah. I

8:43

miss an old lady who goes, who's Drake?

8:46

Yeah. I ain't never seen no Drake.

8:48

How cool is your life though? I watch you on Instagram.

8:51

You've been everywhere this past year.

8:54

Yeah, this past year

8:56

I've traveled to some cool places.

8:59

I mean, everywhere, every time I go on Instagram, you

9:01

were like, I feel like you were in cons. You

9:03

were in. Yeah, I was in con like a year ago. We

9:06

went to, we went to Cannes and then we went to,

9:10

we went to like Monaco for the Grand

9:13

Prix. And then we went to the Maldives and then

9:15

the Antarctica trip was crazy. You went

9:17

to Antarctica? That was the craziest thing

9:19

I've ever done in my life. So where did you guys leave

9:21

from? We left from, we met

9:24

up with everyone in Argentina.

9:26

And then we flew. I mean, that's a trip.

9:28

What? That's a trip. That's

9:31

a trip. But it wasn't, that was just where

9:33

we met up. So you just flew from LA to

9:35

Argentina? To Argentina. And

9:37

then we went to Chile. And then you get on like a special

9:40

airplane that can land on ice. And

9:43

then we flew to Antarctica and then

9:45

we got to King George. But are you nervous

9:47

at all? Oh yeah. I

9:50

was like, are we good?

9:51

Cause they're giving you all this, they're like a list of gear

9:54

that you need. But it was summertime

9:56

there. So it wasn't like negative 60.

9:59

It was like zero. It was just

10:01

cold as fuck. It was cold as fuck. It was like

10:03

Michigan in the winter. It was like zero to 20. So

10:05

there were times when I'm outside, you know,

10:07

just like,

10:08

and I'm like, this is fine. We're going in the water

10:11

and stuff.

10:12

We're cold plunging in the water. For real, in

10:14

Antarctica. And then, you know, we took like a

10:16

helicopter from the,

10:18

where we landed to the boat

10:20

and we were on the boat for like eight days, just cruising

10:23

around the, the, the peninsula.

10:27

See, I would have, I would have, I would have

10:29

a fear that I had to entertain the entire

10:31

time. Yeah.

10:33

I mean, it was, I didn't

10:36

know you, you wouldn't have had that on this trip because there

10:38

were so many people that probably,

10:41

there were so many people like that. That it was

10:43

like a very cool group of people. Like

10:46

just an eclectic group of like, actors,

10:48

musicians, really nice. Yeah, athletes,

10:50

act like actors, musicians. It was like

10:52

a wild group of people.

10:55

And there's nobody

10:57

there. Like the captain

11:00

of the, of the boat was

11:02

like, he's

11:04

like, yeah, so so

11:06

and so, like the guy who booked the whole

11:08

thing, he said, he doesn't want to see any other ships.

11:11

So we're going to try to avoid seeing

11:13

anyone, which might be tough because it's

11:16

a high season, but we're going to do what we

11:18

can. So we saw two

11:20

other boats the whole time. Really?

11:23

Yeah. Like there's nobody there. We

11:25

went like heli boarding on a. Helicopter

11:28

boarding. Yeah. You take a helicopter and snowboard

11:30

some mountain and we just kept laughing it. And

11:33

they were like, we're like, how many people have done this? And they're

11:35

like,

11:35

probably like 10. Like you

11:38

tell me we're like, heli

11:40

board in Antarctica. Does

11:45

anyone in the boat not know you're

11:47

not a trust fund kid?

11:49

Cause I mean, like when you

11:51

get in that scenario, you assume

11:54

everyone is from

11:56

money and this is like, oh yeah, this is what we

11:58

do. And you are not

12:00

that person. Yeah, I

12:02

was definitely the poorest person

12:05

on the board. Do people know how

12:07

regular you are? Does

12:10

that bother you if people know that you're not, that

12:13

you really aren't,

12:14

you aren't, fucking who's

12:16

the kid in Dune, you aren't that guy? You

12:19

aren't. What, Timothy Chalamet's character? Yeah, you aren't

12:21

like, I mean, I assume. You know what I think is funny about Dune by the way?

12:23

Oh, I could talk about Dune forever, I just saw it. Dude, Timothy,

12:26

the whole movie of Dune, I saw Dune

12:28

one, the whole movie is everyone being like, oh my God,

12:30

that's Timothy Chalamet. Right,

12:33

like the whole time they're like, oh my God, he's

12:35

so fucking hot, that's Timothy Chalamet. You

12:37

know, Kale was in post-production

12:40

when we were shooting The Machine. Oh, on

12:42

Dune? On Dune, he was getting cuts the entire

12:44

time. Oh, Dune one or two? Dune one,

12:46

Dune two, he's doing Dune two right now. He's

12:49

finishing it up right now. Dune

12:51

one,

12:51

you know. Dune one was like, yo, how

12:54

much did Zendaya get paid? Cause

12:56

she didn't even have to read a script. Was

12:59

she even in it? I don't even remember. She's in the

13:01

end, she's in dream sequences. Oh, right, right,

13:03

right. But the whole time, you're like, it's Zendaya

13:05

with blue eyes, motherfucker. And

13:07

then this new one's Timothy Chalamet with blue eyes.

13:11

Peter, my assistant, is like, I mean

13:13

it in the best way, but like a nerd, and so

13:15

he loves fantasy stuff. Yeah,

13:17

I mean, I do too. I just felt like Dune was like, the

13:20

whole movie felt like the first act.

13:21

I was like, this is all

13:24

like an intro? I was very confused. Well,

13:26

I could have used a little more lighting.

13:29

It was dark as fucking shit.

13:31

And the whole time I'm going, who is this? Are we supposed

13:33

to not see it? Yeah, yeah, it's intentional.

13:35

Could they name one group of family the

13:38

Smiths? So I can, cause I'm bad

13:40

with names. So when they're like the Van

13:42

Dariens. What is like the Atreides? Atreides

13:46

and the Van Dari, the Valorian Bladens.

13:48

Yeah. And then the name of the Steel,

13:51

it's so Game of Thrones. The whole movie

13:53

though. If you right. After

13:55

that movie, I was like, I get the Timothy Chalamet

13:57

thing now.

13:58

I understand it. I do too. I mean, I was just like,

14:00

yeah. Have you met him? No, I haven't met him. But

14:03

I mean, I saw that movie and I was like, I

14:05

mean, the whole movie, like I said, it's everyone being like, whoa.

14:07

What's crazy, see what Timothy

14:10

Chalamet, because like you're accessible,

14:13

you're approachable in life. You've

14:15

always have been,

14:17

but like Timothy Chalamet gives off a vibe

14:19

of like, ooh, don't talk to

14:21

him. But like, I wonder if he's like a regular

14:23

person.

14:25

Where's he from? Like, what does his dad do?

14:28

His dad's got it with the

14:30

name like Chalamet. You can't like. You

14:33

can't be a normal. His mom's

14:35

pretty. You didn't grow up in Venice with a name

14:37

like Chalamet. His dad was a French

14:39

writer and editor working for the

14:42

United Nations. Yeah, of course.

14:44

Okay, that guy's been on Yacht-Stan-Artica. He

14:46

grew up on Yacht-Stan-Artica. But

14:49

like, that's the thing that

14:51

I always have. I don't

14:53

know, and I especially have it right fucking

14:55

now, is imposter syndrome.

14:58

Where I feel like I snuck

15:00

my way into a party and everyone's gonna find

15:03

out that I don't belong there. And

15:05

then I'm not like, I don't really,

15:07

like I may have money, but I don't

15:09

deserve to have money.

15:11

But every time I see these trips, I know

15:14

you're a regular person. And

15:17

so I always wonder,

15:19

does that ever, like when

15:21

you're on these fucking crazy ventures,

15:25

I don't know what I can and can't say with you because I'm

15:27

really about a secret. So I don't know, like your list

15:30

of friends is so

15:33

extensively, authentically

15:36

diverse and kind of illuminati.

15:41

Like it's that I go, but

15:43

he is ultimately, at the

15:45

end of the day, and your girlfriend knows this, he is

15:47

just Jimmy.

15:48

Yeah. I mean, I

15:50

don't know if I get like imposter

15:54

syndrome, but I get like when I'm

15:56

in those crazy situations, sometimes

15:58

I'll just kind of like.

15:59

Zoom out for a second and be like

16:02

this is fucking crazy And

16:05

sometimes I'm in these situations and that's really all

16:07

I can say for like a couple hours like

16:09

this is fucking crazy you

16:11

know and but like

16:13

usually

16:15

Everyone can acknowledge the craziness of

16:18

situations and if they can't then

16:20

maybe we're not really on the same page

16:22

You know like if I'm doing a crazy

16:25

You know yacht somewhere and you're like, this is crazy.

16:28

I'm like, what do you mean?

16:29

Okay, maybe off. I'm gonna lean

16:31

over this way and say that's crazy and

16:33

see if this Also

16:36

agrees that it's crazy. Do you think you ever

16:39

be a guy that's

16:40

impressed by like

16:42

There is a part that's like there's celebrities

16:45

I want like I never give a fuck about acting I never

16:47

give a fuck about acting I didn't want to be an actor

16:49

and I didn't want to be in movies

16:51

and I and I said shitty things

16:53

about actors to My daughter who wanted

16:56

to be an actor And then I

16:58

acted and I went That

17:00

was pretty interesting. Well, but also

17:03

your experience with acting was

17:05

very free of the parts of acting

17:07

that suck Okay, what sucks about

17:09

it because you came in

17:11

as the star of the movie.

17:14

Yeah, and it was like the Burt

17:16

show Usually

17:18

as an actor you got to deal

17:21

with being shitted on for

17:23

real and Feeling like

17:25

you thought you were that guy Yeah

17:28

And then not being that guy for

17:30

a long time before you can be that

17:32

guy and that part of it I don't

17:34

think you would like at all. So kale

17:36

told me

17:37

He goes I can see where you'd be problematic on

17:40

a movie. Right? I said really he goes I

17:42

think you just want to be the star of movies.

17:44

You're you you'd be good at being the star of

17:47

movies If they're

17:49

like Bert, we need you out here for

17:51

a month and a half

17:52

You're in four scenes. We're just not sure

17:54

when they're gonna be so we'd like you to stay here the

17:57

whole time You'd say I

17:59

think I'm done acting

17:59

I'm done acting. I wasn't the kind of actor

18:02

who couldn't be showered

18:04

with accolades after the scene.

18:06

I liked- You weren't the kind of actor

18:10

who couldn't be showered with accolades. You

18:17

were open to it. I know. I

18:20

was open to it. You were open to the scene

18:22

ending and everyone just going, let's

18:24

give it up for Burt. Fucking Burt killed

18:26

it. I need to hear that. I need to hear that.

18:30

Rodney Dangerfield was like that. When they

18:32

did Caddyshack, he did the first take and

18:34

no one was laughing. They went,

18:36

and cut. He goes, I'm popping over here.

18:39

They're like, no, it's a movie set. We can't laugh

18:42

or ruin the take. He's like, silent. I've

18:45

fucking never done silence before. Then they

18:47

said, all right, everyone just laugh on this next take and give

18:49

them his confidence back. They all

18:51

laughed out loud, ruined the take. Rodney's

18:54

like, now we got it. That's funny.

18:57

There's a weird part of like, I think I

18:59

just have a comics brain. But

19:02

what's interesting

19:04

is

19:06

when we got done the movie, I went, oh,

19:09

I can understand. I

19:11

was like, okay, I want to work

19:13

with Jonah Hill. I

19:16

would love to watch him work. I

19:18

worked with Jonah Hill and he's like the most talented

19:22

improv actor I've ever

19:24

experienced in person. Intimidating

19:26

as fuck because he would say things that were funnier

19:29

than the script every time that

19:31

I didn't know were coming. It was like my second movie. I'm

19:33

like 19 years old

19:35

and I'm next to Jonah Hill who's like

19:38

a legend. What movie was it? 22 Jump

19:40

Street. Oh, it was a great fucking movie. He's just throwing

19:42

zingers at me that weren't in the script. I have

19:45

the script memorized and I was just like,

19:47

oh, oh. It

19:49

was such a cool moment because I

19:51

realized how improv

19:54

works on set. And he was

19:56

just zinging these

19:58

one-liners at me.

19:59

trying to react and not laugh and also

20:02

navigate being in awe of Jonah

20:04

Hill just like

20:06

doing this in front of me. But

20:08

like to your point about that's

20:11

kind of what made me

20:12

realize I like doing comedy movies

20:15

more than

20:16

serious movies. Because in a comedy,

20:18

even in a show or like a movie, if

20:21

you kill it,

20:22

you kind of walk off the set, whether or not

20:24

they ruin the take, kind of walk off the set everyone's

20:26

like smiling like that was that was fucking funny. Yeah.

20:29

If it's serious and you crush it,

20:32

people are crying, you know, people. Yeah.

20:35

And they look at you and they go.

20:37

And you're like, man, it's like a solemn vibe

20:39

right now. And it's hard to feel like, did

20:42

I

20:42

do well? Like I remember on one movie

20:45

or a show where it was, I

20:47

was not it was not a funny scene. And

20:49

I kept like going to the director and being like, am I like

20:51

blowing this? And it's really you're doing great. It's

20:54

just like not no one's like, you're

20:56

not hearing any reactions right now

20:58

because you're doing well. If they're laughing, you're

21:00

it wouldn't be good. It must have

21:03

been a bummer the rap party for Schindler's list.

21:07

Everyone's like, everyone's like, I

21:09

was good. Yeah, they're like, we did a good

21:11

thing. Yeah, we did a good thing. Patting each

21:13

other on the back. All right, man. I go. Stay at

21:15

home. Like just like really intense long

21:17

hug. Yeah. Just at the end of the

21:19

day, like, yeah, they killed those people.

21:22

Yeah.

21:23

All right. See you guys

21:25

tomorrow. Yeah. I don't ever want to work on

21:28

a serious movie. That would be stupid.

21:30

I'm just, I just had a vision of you being

21:32

on Schindler's list. So

21:35

what's the plan boys? What are we doing now?

21:37

And I'm like, I

21:40

could, I would have had to, I would have had to play a Nazi.

21:43

I think

21:44

I don't think I could have given

21:46

you, like,

21:46

I don't think I would have had to, like, I

21:49

can't give you empathetic energy, but I can give you dick,

21:51

like frat boy energy, not the frat boys

21:53

or Nazis, but like, there's a, there's

21:55

a correlation.

21:56

There's a correlation to frat

21:59

boys being Nazis.

21:59

then if

22:03

Trump was gonna recruit this, why

22:05

would I fucking talk like this? This

22:07

is like the worst part about me. And

22:10

I'm still going, so I think it's not a bad idea. But

22:12

if you were gonna start an army,

22:15

frat boys is where you'd start. Right,

22:18

very brainwashable,

22:20

already kind of brainwashed. Yeah,

22:22

if we, this is coming from

22:25

a fucking legit frat boy. We

22:27

need to take back this country and it starts on Tuesday nights

22:29

with nickel beers. And everyone's like, yeah,

22:32

who wants Monday night free beers? Yeah,

22:35

but on Wednesday, we need to eliminate

22:37

the gypsies. That's

22:40

where it starts. Yeah. Yeah,

22:43

but he is giving us nickel beers on Tuesdays. Right. frat

22:46

boys do be chanting stuff.

22:48

It's easy. And then, like you look

22:51

back, I look back on some of the things, like

22:53

our chants and stuff, and I was like, can

22:58

I tell you what's crazy? We had a chant

23:00

that makes no sense. I

23:03

never questioned it making no sense. And

23:06

then I did it with Guy Fieri, who's in the same attorney

23:08

I am. And his chant made less

23:10

sense. And I got frustrated

23:13

that he wasn't signed on to my no

23:15

sense chant.

23:17

It was Rurah

23:21

Regha, for half a tall mega, hip-ra,

23:23

hip-ra, three cheers for alpha tall. All,

23:29

tall's all yeah. And I never

23:31

understood the tall's all yeah. Yeah, I don't know what the fuck you

23:33

just said. Yeah, but Rurah Regha,

23:35

it's such a fucking,

23:37

and he did it, and his was

23:39

different at the end. And I went, I never thought

23:41

that thematically made sense, tall's all yeah.

23:44

Yeah. But we said it, I said

23:46

it all through college. Like if someone put his hand

23:48

up and went, oh, then immediately that was

23:50

a call to war. I

23:52

mean, it was like fucking crazy.

23:55

It's crazy how, it's crazy how fun

23:57

it is. Like

23:58

how it really,

24:00

pulling out this, I hope this doesn't

24:02

come as an insult because I love being a fraternity, but

24:04

like pulling

24:07

out not all identity,

24:09

but a lap, like, but

24:13

I don't know the right way to say it. Do you know what I'm saying though?

24:15

I know what you're saying. I was never really like-

24:17

You were in for a second and out.

24:19

I was, I mean, I was there for three years and

24:22

I was like, holy shit, this is crazy.

24:25

And I started making YouTube videos, kind of like

24:27

making fun of the whole thing. And

24:30

then I dropped out of school junior year, but

24:33

like, you know, I was in it. I

24:36

lived in the house softly and I was,

24:38

I was in too

24:41

deep, I would even say. Oh, not

24:43

as deep as I was. I was there

24:45

for six and a half years in my fraternity.

24:47

Okay, so that is, you were in deeper for

24:49

sure. I was in deeper. You were in deeper. People

24:51

thought I was in that deep because when I made my

24:53

first videos, they thought I was a senior,

24:56

but

24:56

I was a freshman. So then like the next

24:58

year already, I'm a sophomore. I'm living in the house

25:00

and people were like, why are you still here?

25:02

And I'm like,

25:03

what? No, I'm a 19, I'm a sophomore. And

25:06

they'd be like, okay, dude.

25:08

By the time junior year came around, people were

25:11

like, all right, dude, get out

25:13

of here. What are you doing? Partying

25:15

sober versus partying drunk. Do you look at these ever

25:17

live according to Jimmy? I can't even- 3.41 subscribers

25:21

is a legit amount of, look at how fucking

25:24

young you are. Yeah.

25:29

It's hard for me to watch some of

25:31

these videos. Look

25:34

at the way your friends are dressed. I don't know why

25:36

you got one Christmas party. Oh, it's the water,

25:39

we're like. Christmas party. Here you go. Ridiculous.

25:42

These guys?

25:43

Ha ha.

25:46

I'm in the house, motherfucker. Get him out! Get

25:49

him out! I'm going to get you a bad trip. Get

25:51

your shot. Get him out. Yeah,

25:54

okay. So,

25:57

but like when I joined fraternity, I remember-

26:00

I remember, maybe this is just

26:02

who I am. But

26:04

I remember being like, okay,

26:07

so there's a way to dress. I

26:10

was like, why the fuck is everybody dressed

26:12

like this? I

26:24

was like, oh cool, I don't have to worry about what

26:26

the wear it is for. I

26:28

was like, cool, you wear an ATO hat, an ATO

26:31

shirt, a pair of khaki

26:33

shorts, and flip flops, and

26:36

or saddle shoes. Oh my God. Like

26:38

saddle shoes with socks is what everyone wore but I wore flip flops

26:40

because I'm a flip flop guy. But like

26:42

that look,

26:43

like I was like, okay, cool, we're done with

26:45

worrying about what to wear now. Oh man.

26:48

Isn't that crazy? That's

26:50

what's crazy right there, that

26:53

one. That's the one. That's

26:55

where you lost me. That's where I loved it.

26:58

And then when you get older, you realize.

27:01

You realize that. You look like a fucking idiot.

27:04

That you're looking like everyone, because you're seeing younger guys do

27:06

it. But then you lean into the frat

27:08

boy who is ironically

27:11

a frat boy. And that's another

27:13

phase of being a frat boy is that you're like, now

27:16

I wear the crazy outfits. Now I'm crazy guy.

27:19

But you're not crazy guy, because real crazy

27:21

guys in the theater department putting sets together

27:24

and fucking, and

27:28

wearing his own little fucking outfits that he's making.

27:30

Like that's the real, like the real, but

27:32

you go into like, I'm gonna dress like an alligator

27:35

tonight. Or I'm wearing, you know what I'm

27:37

saying? Yeah, I mean like if you go through

27:40

all my college photos, like I would say

27:42

in 60, 70% of them, there's a costume.

27:45

Oh yeah. Everything

27:48

was like a costume party,

27:51

which makes for

27:53

really funny fights. You

27:55

know, like a Halloween fight in college

27:58

where it's just like, I

28:02

witnessed, and I used to tell this story

28:04

in one of my stand up routines, it was about a

28:07

fight I witnessed on Halloween, where

28:09

it was a frat dude, a group of frat

28:11

dudes dressed as bumblebees, and

28:14

not like manly bumblebees, like gold

28:17

tights and like leotards and little

28:19

antennae.

28:21

And this dude

28:23

is like,

28:24

I walk outside and this dude is like heated,

28:27

just pacing, buzzing back and forth.

28:30

And this, and

28:33

he's facing off with a teenage mutant ninja turtle.

28:36

And these two dudes, and it's like a full

28:38

on bro off, like outside of this party

28:40

where like it's heated, you know, but I'm like,

28:42

dude, you're wearing a fucking, you're being a bumblebee

28:45

costume. And all of a sudden one

28:47

dude swings, the whole

28:49

squad of ninja turtles, he has a squad

28:52

and there's a squad of bumblebees. The bees

28:54

swarm, Michael Angelo

28:56

and his boys all hop in.

28:59

And next thing you know, it's like Spiderman comes

29:01

in and like, and

29:03

like, he's just watching, like Woody

29:06

just got knocked out, Buzz Lightyear's over

29:08

there getting his face sounded. Who should they knock down a woman

29:10

though, nevermind, that's a dude dressed as a woman. And

29:14

I was like, this is, how can you be serious

29:17

right now? This guy was so mad

29:19

and he's wearing tights and a leotard. But

29:21

he was like, you fucking say something to me bro.

29:24

I'm like, look in the mirror. Oh

29:26

my God.

29:28

There was a, but there was like such a fun, like

29:30

I missed the, I missed the

29:32

like the hang.

29:34

Like that's the part that was the best is like

29:36

being in the lounge on

29:38

like a fucking Friday at like 130

29:43

when like everyone's getting done their noon

29:45

classes, everyone's coming in to have lunch,

29:48

everyone's figuring out what they're doing for the weekend. You

29:50

have a group that's going, we're gonna take mushrooms

29:52

and go out to fucking raft

29:55

the, the H and the talk knee. You

29:57

have one group like going, oh, we're,

29:59

we're.

29:59

going to party here, like I miss

30:03

the legit hang. And I

30:05

don't mean that shitty, but like,

30:07

you can't,

30:08

with my fraternity

30:10

brothers, we've grown so differently as men,

30:13

that I can't recreate it as the way I wish,

30:16

I can't go back. I hope so, yeah. But

30:18

not all of them have, and I wonder sometimes,

30:22

like they still, I'll get a text from a group,

30:25

and they'll be like, hey, we're going golfing.

30:27

And I

30:30

don't mean that I've, I mean, I guess I

30:32

have changed. You've gone pro. I've

30:35

gone pro with my, yeah. Yeah, I've

30:37

gone pro with my, but even like, with

30:39

like, fraternity, like comics, like

30:42

we went to Mark Norman's bachelor party, and

30:44

even I think in groups still,

30:46

with comics, there's like a weird hierarchy

30:49

of like, you know,

30:51

younger comics versus older comics and older comics,

30:53

like, and so that shows up when

30:55

you don't want it to,

30:57

oddly enough, it's

30:59

always going to show up in things. But with

31:01

those guys, I wish I could go back and be,

31:04

I wish I could like take a pill for a weekend,

31:07

and be like, oh, I'm back.

31:10

I wish I could say the same, but like

31:13

I just went to my friend's bachelor party, the

31:15

Dizzler, and

31:18

that was my whole college group of friends, and it was like,

31:21

oh wow, we're here, we're back. Yeah,

31:24

but you're like what, 20?

31:25

31. 31, yeah. It's

31:28

easy, at 50 it's very different. Yeah, that's true. If kids are in college,

31:30

you have,

31:31

I mean, when

31:33

you turn 50, there are dudes that are hardcore

31:35

assigned to politics, and like, that's

31:37

their thing, you know?

31:39

Like, that just doesn't

31:41

land on my radar, about like

31:43

the Bud Light fucking commercial.

31:45

Why do they care? I don't think

31:48

they went hard enough. On what, blowing

31:50

up Bud Light kids? No, no, no, no. No,

31:53

I think Bud Light should have really leaned into the transgender

31:55

movement.

31:56

And had a dude, I told this earlier, had

31:58

a dude on the corner of a bed drinking.

31:59

taking the Bud Light and this chick's in bed, she's like, are

32:02

you gonna do this or not? And he's like, I'm doing it, I'm doing it. And

32:04

he kills Bud Light and then he turns around and sucks

32:06

his girlfriend's cock. That's the commercial

32:09

I wanna see.

32:11

Fucking lean into it Bud

32:13

Light, get some fucking views.

32:20

Hey, can I be in your next

32:23

movie? You have to keep talking like

32:25

that. Do you remember,

32:27

can I tell you, Christine,

32:29

you're the only one that's gonna really appreciate this? Cause

32:31

you know my, I know Christine for like. What

32:34

a transition that was, he sucks his dick. So

32:37

let's talk best Jim.

32:50

That's

32:56

my goal. That's gonna make me feel better if

32:58

I know that I'm getting everyone work.

33:01

And then by the next thing you know, we're to like 60

33:03

shows and I was so drained and

33:06

I thought I was having fun, but I realized I wasn't

33:09

taking any time for myself. It's so easy to get

33:11

caught up in what everyone else needs from

33:13

you and never take a moment to think like, what

33:15

do I need for myself? I

33:17

need downtime, I need time off, I need to work out, I need to spend

33:19

time with my kids. I had just spent all this time at

33:22

the beginning of the pandemic with them. So I figured, oh, I'll just

33:24

push hard, push hard. Look, when we spend

33:27

all of our time giving, it can

33:29

sometimes leave us stretched thin

33:32

and feel burned out. Therapy can

33:34

give you the tools to find more balance in your

33:36

life. So you can keep supporting all the

33:38

other people in your life without leaving yourself behind. I

33:40

have been in therapy, I was in therapy during the pandemic,

33:43

I definitely was. I remember doing it on the back of the bus and

33:45

it felt good. If you're thinking about giving starting

35:43

wrapped steel coils in the base with

35:45

a premium foam layer on top. It's

35:47

the perfect combination of comfort and

35:49

support. I took the sleep quiz and found out,

35:51

oh, I know I'm a side sleeper, but I took the sleep quiz and

35:54

they sent mattresses, and I was skeptical at first.

35:56

And dude, the first night on these mattresses,

35:58

we...

35:59

They sent one mattress, we got one mattress,

36:02

right? For our beach house. That

36:04

was the first one. And the second I slept

36:06

on it, every

36:08

mattress in our house was changed. Every mattress

36:11

in our house, and now all I sleep is on my Helix

36:13

Sleep mattress. It legit was so

36:15

freaking easy to set up. I shot a video of it. I

36:17

set up my mattress in under two minutes. It

36:19

took me two minutes to take the sleep

36:22

quiz. Helix is offering up to 20% off all

36:24

mattress orders and two free pillows

36:27

36:29

slash Bert. This is their best offer yet,

36:31

and it won't last long. With Helix,

36:34

better sleep starts now. I

36:36

don't know why, but you are such a mirror to me of

36:39

like how weird

36:41

my brain works. I remember one

36:43

time we're sitting in the tent,

36:48

Jimmy's shirtless,

36:50

and he's got a piece of paper in his lip to

36:52

mimic my lower lip. And

36:55

I said something to the effect of,

36:58

if we do this, how fun

36:59

would it be if we could do this again?

37:04

And he goes, what do you mean? I said, like, if we could do

37:06

another thing. And Jimmy looks at me and he goes,

37:09

I think I might be done

37:11

playing Bert. And

37:15

I said it like for real, like, you

37:17

know how cool it would be if you could play Bert for the rest of your life?

37:19

And he's like, I think I'm good. I

37:22

think once is enough for me. And

37:24

I remember I was being so honest

37:27

and my cousin Andrew was there, and in the car he kept

37:29

laughing. He goes, do you think everyone

37:31

just wants to revolve around you for the rest of your life? And

37:33

I was like, you don't feel that way about yourself?

37:36

Like,

37:38

that moment. And then the

37:41

other one was, and

37:43

this is like, I mean, this is like a real

37:46

mirror to how fucking broken I am.

37:48

We were sitting in the pool one night drinking

37:50

rose,

37:52

and you said, can I tell you a secret? Do

37:54

you remember? Yeah. And I said, yeah, of course.

37:57

And you told me the secret and I immediately.

37:59

Yeah, that was crazy. Grab my phone and call Kale

38:02

and you went, well, what are you doing? And I went,

38:04

tell Kale. You told me. Yeah, I

38:06

was like, bro, I told you 20

38:08

seconds ago and I explicitly said,

38:11

don't tell anyone this, but.

38:14

That's why I'm bad at secrets. I'm just bad at secrets.

38:17

Yeah. But I liked, I think

38:19

it's less the secret part and more the

38:21

excitement on the other person's face when you get

38:24

to tell them something fun. Yeah, I

38:26

get that.

38:27

I think the funniest part of that story that we

38:29

just glazed over that a lot of people would be

38:31

horrified by is that we were just drinking wine.

38:34

We were sitting in the pool with wine glasses. In

38:36

an ice cold pool. It was an ice cold drinking rosé.

38:38

And people

38:39

would be like, get the fuck, get those wine glasses out

38:41

of the pool. Yeah. If

38:45

you break a glass, you gotta drain the hole. It's

38:47

a big deal. Did you come back, did you have

38:49

to come back for reshoots?

38:51

No, I didn't even know there were

38:53

reshoots. No, I thought, no, but I think you had to come

38:55

back to do another scene.

38:57

I was in there in two pieces.

38:59

I came out for like two weeks

39:02

and then

39:03

for like another three weeks. Oh, you won't be here

39:05

for the premiere, will you? No, I think I actually

39:08

will be. Oh, for real? Yeah,

39:10

I think I got that day off, or those days off from the

39:12

flyback from Atlanta. Oh, that's gonna be fun. Yeah.

39:16

I was like bummed if I was gonna have to miss that.

39:18

I definitely wanna be here for that. We're doing

39:20

a lot of, like this whole team is

39:23

doing a lot for it. You

39:26

know how everything is shut down, right?

39:28

Like the writer's joke? No, no, no, like the

39:31

movie was on the shelf.

39:33

Oh, yeah, yeah, because of the

39:35

reward.

39:36

I leaked it on Rogan,

39:37

yeah, I leaked it on Rogan

39:40

and then I think because a lot of that, because it got

39:42

so many views online of just like authentic,

39:45

they were like, you'd leave going like, yeah,

39:47

keep doing what you wanna do. And then I was like, and then

39:49

I talked to, I

39:52

texted with someone privately about how

39:54

cool a

39:55

different type of premiere would be.

39:58

And the guy was like, he was like, Let's

40:00

fucking go. Well, you mean a different type of premier.

40:03

What do I need to know? Turning into a party. Turning into a

40:05

party. Like, make it be like waste management. I'm

40:08

in. Yeah, it's gonna be a fucking blast. Well,

40:10

I'm 95% sure that I'll be here now.

40:14

So, you know,

40:16

what are we wearing? Are we matching?

40:19

Jimmy, don't do that to me. Can

40:22

I get you a matching motorcycle? Are

40:24

you pulling up on a motorcycle? I think so, yeah.

40:26

No way. I think so. I

40:28

think I have a police escort from

40:31

my house through Hollywood. I

40:34

just, there's parts of me, like I was looking

40:36

at Pete Davidson. I don't know. I

40:39

love Pete.

40:40

I don't ever

40:42

want to speak negatively of anyone.

40:44

And so I don't hope this doesn't come off weird. But

40:47

I love Pete,

40:48

but I don't have the part of, I don't

40:50

have the humility maybe that Pete has or

40:53

the

40:54

maybe it's a little bit of

40:56

mental health stuff. But like, he

40:59

definitely wants, he doesn't

41:01

want, strike me as someone who wants to be in the spotlight. Despite

41:04

him being so much in the spotlight, he

41:06

doesn't strike me as someone that wants to be in the spotlight. I

41:09

think

41:10

that's the coolest thing about Hollywood.

41:13

That's the funnest thing is they let you act like a fool.

41:15

They welcome

41:18

the fucking lunatics. Like

41:20

that's what I like. I think the sexiest

41:23

parts of Hollywood is,

41:24

there's like Jack Nicholson

41:27

on court side. And then that becomes

41:29

a thing. And there's

41:31

gotta be a part of Jack that really loves Lakers,

41:33

but also

41:35

loved being the guy.

41:37

You know what I mean? Yeah, I think

41:40

I get what you're saying. I think where I'm different

41:42

in that is like, the

41:45

second I started to have the eyes on

41:47

me, I like kind

41:49

of chain. I got a little more like,

41:51

I

41:52

got a little less outgoing. Was that in

41:54

college or? In college, like I used to be super

41:56

like,

41:57

ah, everyone like telling jokes. Like

41:59

kind of like.

41:59

make a big splash everywhere

42:02

I went. And then the second

42:04

I was famous and people would like, like

42:07

in college, I would walk in and they'd be

42:09

looking at me. I started feeling like, ah,

42:12

ooh. And I got like

42:14

a little more, what's

42:17

it called when you're like, a little more introverted. A little

42:19

more introverted. Can I tell you?

42:21

In public situation, then among my friends

42:23

and you know, same vibe.

42:26

I don't like that I'm this honest I know that

42:28

this is gross, but I'll tell you. When

42:31

I got famous in college, and

42:35

I don't know if it was the same fame you had. It was written

42:37

up in Rolling Stone magazine. Well, I think

42:40

we had a similar

42:43

college experience. I don't think there's

42:45

many people that have had similar college

42:47

experiences, but like

42:49

when I was in college,

42:51

I started making videos for college

42:53

kids, like in an era where YouTube videos

42:55

were not like that big of a

42:57

thing. It was like me and college humor that made

42:59

college sketches. So it became super

43:02

famous amongst college kids. And

43:04

I still lived in college and I'm making videos

43:06

about fraternity people. And I lived in a fraternity and

43:08

it was like living. I lived in my

43:10

demographic

43:12

and that was like, I

43:14

was the most famous I'll ever be

43:16

in that like time period. Oh yeah. For

43:19

being like a party guy. Especially in

43:21

the world you're around. Yeah, and so

43:23

you were the same thing. That's

43:25

a really interesting statement.

43:27

I don't

43:30

think I've ever been as famous as I was when

43:32

that article came out in that surrounding. Right,

43:34

because you're in your demographic. It would be

43:36

like, if

43:37

Justin Bieber

43:38

lived in a community with

43:44

a bunch of like high school girls. Yeah,

43:47

the truth is. That's a weird analogy. Maybe

43:49

let's look. Wait,

43:53

have you partied with him yet?

43:54

Uh, no,

43:57

no, I've met him.

43:59

I would be interested to pick that kid's

44:02

brain.

44:03

Yeah. Yeah, well,

44:05

I was like that with Logan Paul. I really wanted to

44:07

meet Logan and Jake Paul because I

44:09

still wanna meet Jake but met Logan. And

44:12

I was interested to, because as

44:14

a comedian you can talk to someone and

44:17

understand who they are without having to ask

44:19

them the questions that you need to get to understand

44:21

who they are. And it was really fascinating

44:23

to me.

44:24

The most fascinating thing to me about

44:27

Logan Paul, who's gonna sound like crazy,

44:30

amazing Out Loud reader.

44:32

Amazing what reader? Out Loud, I'm not a good

44:35

Out Loud reader. I don't know if that's what it's called.

44:37

When you read Out Loud. Where'd you meet him, book club?

44:40

What do you mean Amazing

44:42

Out Loud reader? He

44:47

just read Out Loud really well, really

44:49

well, like really well. Like

44:51

his mom must have books around the house and there

44:53

were kids. Like I just like, he was

44:56

a really good Out Loud reader.

44:58

Like it caught me

45:00

off, it was out of all the things I could tell you about

45:02

Logan Paul, Amazing Out Loud reader.

45:06

What was he reading Out Loud? It doesn't matter,

45:08

it's just reading Out Loud and

45:10

I just watched it happen and I went, wow. If you watched

45:13

me read Out Loud. I get it now. If you watched Tom

45:15

Zagura read Out Loud, you'd go English ones in his first language. Tom

45:18

Zagura is such a bad Out Loud reader that like

45:21

it's comical, and he gets

45:23

spooked the way like a fourth grader would.

45:27

Do you remember the kids in fourth grade who had to read

45:29

Out Loud? They'd be like, um.

45:31

Oh yeah. Boo

45:33

Radley never came

45:35

out. What's that

45:37

word, man? This is tough. Yeah, yeah, I was bad

45:39

at it. I was a kid in class, just like, oh my God, just

45:42

pass it, pass it to someone else. Please don't make

45:44

me read Out Loud.

45:45

And certain kids killed

45:47

it. Mel Rudolph. I thrived. You

45:50

were a good Out Loud reader? Oh yeah, I used

45:52

to read, I used to read like

45:54

so many, when I was like 12 to,

45:59

from like. I read, one year I tried

46:02

to read 100 books and

46:05

I got to like 70 and I didn't

46:08

hit my goal and

46:11

I was bummed. Really? Yeah, I was

46:13

the guy that would like get there, I'd go to the midnight Harry

46:15

Potter release and I'd crush

46:18

Harry Potter in like 48 hours. So

46:20

then I'd get to school, no one would spoil

46:22

it for me because no one would know shit before I did.

46:26

That was how much I used to care about reading. For

46:29

real? Yeah. What was the

46:31

last book you read recently? I read, I just read the Rick

46:33

Rubin book. Wonderful.

46:36

For real? Oh yeah. Because I'm

46:38

looking for a book, like I don't read it. If

46:40

you said 100 books

46:43

in my lifetime, not even remotely

46:45

close, I maybe read probably 25 books.

46:49

I read, the

46:50

most recent fiction book I read was called 1Q84, very

46:52

good.

46:55

And then I read. Hold on, hold on, hold on. I don't know if

46:57

you'd like that one. What is it about? I

46:59

mean, it's good. It's like kind of like

47:01

a love story. Pass, keep going.

47:05

But it's very well done. And then. Is

47:07

it like, do people kill people? Japanese? No,

47:10

no.

47:12

It's interesting. I don't know if it's

47:14

your vibe. Oh, Haruki Maru. Yeah,

47:16

he's. I

47:19

stopped just short of the hate crime. Yeah.

47:22

But the creative act by

47:24

Rick Rubin. Did you have to read that for a movie? No,

47:26

no, I just. Why would you?

47:29

Why would that? I don't know. Rick Rubin

47:31

is just a very. No, no, no, Rick Rubin I get. But

47:33

I don't know how that would get in front of

47:35

you. I like, I

47:37

just like, I wanted to read a fiction book.

47:40

I can only read so many like nonfiction

47:42

books before I'm just like. I am only nonfiction.

47:45

So this one, read that one. Okay.

47:47

Can someone write that down?

47:50

I just bought. He's like a fucking

47:52

Buddha. He's. If you're

47:55

like a creative or an artist. Did you

47:57

hear him on Rogan? No, but a

47:59

lot of this. I saw a clip and a lot of what he talked

48:01

about is like,

48:03

literally, I liked the book so much. I should have had you

48:05

do right before. I was highlighting like every,

48:08

like one quote a page, just

48:10

like, oh my God, I need to remember this. And I gave my Kindle

48:12

to my assistant and I said, get a digital picture

48:15

frame and fucking put

48:17

all of the quotes I highlighted

48:19

on the digital picture frame and just have that shit

48:21

rotate. So that like when I'm at my office,

48:23

I can just, every now and now I go grab a coffee,

48:25

but

48:26

great. Wait, can I get those pictures

48:28

sent to me? And then I don't have to read the book. I can just read the good

48:31

parts. Yeah, I can do that. Wait, do

48:33

you have a, do you have, do you have the. She

48:35

has a document. She could probably send you with all

48:37

of the quotes that I highlighted that I liked

48:39

the best. There's like 180. Can you just do that?

48:41

And then don't worry about the book. Yeah. Can

48:44

you do that for all your books?

48:46

Hang on, that's a really fun business model.

48:48

Where I just, I just read it and. And just tell

48:51

us the good stuff. Right. Spark

48:53

notes, but gym, gym, gym notes. Gym notes.

48:55

And it's just the, it's the things that inspire you. Like

48:57

I do that with coaches quotes. I

49:00

write out like, I love coaches.

49:02

I love, I'm very coachable. And so I love

49:04

a good coach. Who's your favorite coach? Jimmy

49:06

Johnson.

49:07

Jimmy Johnson, just for me,

49:09

everything about him.

49:11

And he just is a guy that's got, he

49:14

said something one time.

49:17

Jimmy Johnson said,

49:21

what was this? What

49:23

was his line? Fucking

49:26

on my phone. What about coach Carter? Did you like

49:28

coach Carter? Coach Carter. The

49:31

movie? No, no, I don't know what

49:34

coach Carter is. Did Jamie L. Jackson coach

49:36

Carter? No, I never saw that. My basketball coach saw

49:38

that in high school and just completely ruined

49:40

all

49:41

of our lives because he just wanted to be so much

49:43

like coach Carter. And

49:46

it sucked. Wait, what was coach

49:48

Carter like? Coach Carter was like the guy who was like, we're

49:50

not gonna touch the basketball for two weeks because we're gonna

49:52

do fundamentals and conditioning. And our coach

49:54

was like, oh wow, fuck yeah, coach

49:56

Carter. And then we just practice sucked

49:58

for the next three.

52:00

and I'm glad I didn't,

52:02

but I'll tell you what, there was a guy one time who

52:04

asked me to take a shot, Buddy Hackett asked me if I'd take

52:07

a shot with him, and I just wasn't drinking at

52:09

the time because I was trying to be healthy, and I didn't

52:11

take a shot with him,

52:12

and I was like, fuck, I

52:14

kinda wish I'd taken a shot with Buddy Hackett. Buddy

52:17

Hackett? Yeah. That's a name.

52:19

Well, I ended up drinking with him a different time after

52:22

that, luckily.

52:23

It was the most disgusting shot I've ever had in

52:25

my entire life. Buddy Hackett sounds

52:27

like a dude that you do up with. But you don't know Buddy Hackett is? Oh,

52:30

you don't know Buddy Hackett is? I don't. Oh,

52:33

Buddy Hackett. Oh, this guy, dude, that's fucking

52:35

Curly.

52:36

No, no, no. Is

52:39

that not Curly from The Three Stooges? No, it's

52:41

not, no, Buddy Hackett,

52:43

Buddy Hackett was. What am I thinking of that he

52:45

was in? He

52:47

pulled up his IMDb, he was in everything.

52:52

I mean, he was really big

52:54

on Carson. He'd go on Carson,

52:56

and

52:57

what's the race movie they did?

53:01

It's gonna be at the very top.

53:04

I'm confused, I know him from something.

53:06

The Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

53:12

Herbie the Love Bug. He

53:15

was the voice of Paulie. Oh,

53:18

I see what you're saying now. This is a

53:20

guy you gotta. It's like, he's old

53:22

school Hollywood. Yeah. And

53:25

I ended up doing a shot with him. He used to

53:27

pour his own alcohol in a flask

53:30

and carry it around with him, and it was like tequila,

53:32

gin. It was a mix he liked, and

53:36

I ended up doing a shot with him one time, but

53:38

that moment I didn't do the shot, I went, fuck.

53:41

But when it comes to doing shots, I

53:43

have to stop. I can't do, I ended up

53:45

doing shots with a guy named Style Bender

53:48

in New Zealand, and it was the best shot I've ever

53:50

had. Me and him challenged a whole bar to a fist fight.

53:53

It was a pretty fucking great moment. We stood up back

53:55

to back, and he was like, I

53:57

thought he was doing, I thought he was doing a Steve.

53:59

Harvey routine,

54:01

but he wasn't, he was just talking. And

54:03

there's a Steve Harvey, you ever seen Steve Harvey talk about his wife

54:05

Marjorie? No. Oh dude, you

54:08

wanna talk about love? This is, I know you're

54:10

in love. Pull up Steve Harvey and Marjorie.

54:12

This is like, this gets me emotional,

54:15

because this is how I feel about Leanne, but

54:17

he,

54:20

Steve Harvey and Marjorie,

54:24

oh, you're never gonna find it, you're never gonna

54:26

find it, it's too hard to find. But he goes, I'm hers

54:28

and she mine. I'll

54:32

find every motherfucker in here for her.

54:34

Like that's like a really cool thing. I thought that's

54:36

what Style Bender was doing. I

54:39

thought he was going to hum his and his mom. And I don't

54:41

know why I thought I was pretty fucking wasted. And

54:43

so I started going around the bar going, well fuck

54:45

everyone up in here, say something

54:48

now. And then I realized there were a couple of tables

54:50

that would be difficult. So I just started doing it to women's

54:52

tables.

54:54

Say something and everyone started

54:56

laughing, because it's the fat guy and then it got

54:58

clearly in shape and we're in New Zealand, everyone

55:00

knows who he is.

55:01

And everyone's like, we're not fighting the middleweight

55:04

champion of the world and this

55:06

drunk white guy. And then I bought the

55:09

whole bar rounds of shots. And then we all

55:11

drank a shot of Buffalo Trace.

55:13

And then I bought him another round of shots. When you buy

55:15

the whole bar shots, do not

55:18

look at that check. What

55:20

did that come out to? I didn't look at it, you don't look

55:22

at those checks. You enjoy the

55:24

moment

55:25

and then you just, you walk away from it.

55:29

You enjoy the moment and walk away from it.

55:31

I've had a couple of those, were you just, like

55:35

I'll tell you, were you there for the wine tasting

55:37

night in Serbia? Yeah.

55:39

I never looked at that bill,

55:41

because it was a fun fucking night and

55:44

you don't need to know. Yeah. And you just, all

55:46

you know is that you don't want anyone to

55:48

run out of booze,

55:50

you wanna make sure you have good glasses and you want everyone

55:52

to experience it. And if I'm sitting

55:54

there thinking about a price tag on

55:55

it, then I'll be like, oh fuck, this is, why

55:58

am I doing this? Yeah.

55:59

So do you remember the night?

56:02

Do

56:04

you remember the night? The night? Yeah.

56:08

The night that,

56:10

yeah. The fucking, the

56:13

night. The night. Ahh! With

56:15

the fucking sparklers and the joker

56:17

dude flying down the ladder

56:19

and. God, I wish I had any footage

56:22

of that. Oh, I got footage. For

56:24

real? Oh yeah.

56:26

It was. I took a few videos

56:28

of like the, cause that was just like, holy

56:31

shit, what is this place? Funny

56:33

thing, this is how you know you're in another country. Wait,

56:35

can you describe it as best you can so people

56:38

like listening know? Yes, we get

56:40

there and it was like a. It's on

56:42

the water. It was a cabaret. It was a cabaret club. Cabaret

56:44

club on the water in Serbia.

56:46

And there was, when we first got

56:49

there, it was like a very like

56:50

kind of tame

56:51

cabaret style performance with a bunch

56:54

of dancers, all

56:56

just magnificently in sync.

56:59

And then it started getting a little crazier and

57:01

then they had props and they had like all

57:03

this stuff. And then, and then next thing you

57:05

know, there's like a joker

57:08

type character who's running around

57:10

terrorizing the bar and like doing

57:12

this crazy like

57:14

routine,

57:16

sliding down the ladder. And then they started

57:18

giving out sparklers. And this is when I knew we

57:21

were in a different country cause they gave out fire

57:25

indoors. And then they

57:27

gave out all this fake money to throw.

57:30

So they literally in one moment were like, now's

57:32

the time where we light fire

57:35

and we throw paper into the air.

57:38

And there's sparklers falling. People

57:40

are dropping sparklers. People are dropping sparklers. I'm like this

57:43

is the biggest fire

57:45

safety risk I've ever seen.

57:46

The look is smokey. The look on your

57:48

face was fucking priceless.

57:51

There's a moment, I remember, it

57:53

must've been from

57:54

Peter's video or something where you were sparkling

57:57

your money and you have a drink and you're just looking around like,

57:59

the fuck you. I was like, because it just turned

58:01

into like, we were like having dinner.

58:04

We were having dinner there. And then we started

58:06

dancing, and then all of a sudden,

58:09

everyone had sparklers, and it was like that epic song.

58:16

And I was just like, ah! I just felt

58:18

like, yeah! I

58:21

didn't look at that check. Yeah,

58:23

I bet. I wouldn't have looked at that one either.

58:26

But look on your, I have a video of you, and you're like,

58:29

ah! For real? Yeah. I

58:31

don't, that night was fucking so many of those nights. I remember,

58:34

if I'm not mistaken, you walked home with Martin and asked

58:36

if you could carry him.

58:37

You

58:40

go, can I lift you up? I was straight up asking

58:42

him, I was like, so you're on steroids, right?

58:47

He wasn't really liking it too much. I realized

58:49

that like in the morning, I was like, I was kind

58:51

of asking him a lot of questions about steroids.

58:54

And he was just like, not really feeling it.

58:58

He'll be out here for the premiere. Oh, hell

59:00

yeah. Yeah, he's a fucking,

59:02

is this the place we were at? I think so. Dude,

59:05

I have the video right here. Wait, send it to Halston. What?

59:08

Send it to, text it to Halston. Okay.

59:11

Do your airdrop on Halston? It's doing that thing,

59:13

you know how videos have to like load now? Oh,

59:15

god damn it.

59:24

Oh yeah. That was a

59:27

fucking. Wait, should I airdrop this?

59:30

Can I ask you a weird question? Is the,

59:34

as a guy in a committed relationship,

59:36

does not

59:38

hooking up with a strange chick

59:41

take away from those evenings at all?

59:43

No, that's like honestly the last thing on my

59:45

mind. I was thinking of that like, because no

59:47

one hooked up with anyone. Everyone was in committed

59:49

relationships. No. Everyone just went

59:51

home.

59:51

And I don't think it takes away, but I have

59:54

friends. No. If you're getting laid,

59:56

can't do that. Yeah, and I don't get that. I

59:58

don't get the people that are like, they're just.

59:59

just to like

1:00:01

hook up with chicks and get laid. Like

1:00:03

when I'm going out, literally all I'm there to

1:00:05

do is dance. If there's a fucking

1:00:07

dance floor, that's all I want. I just

1:00:09

want to fucking, I just want good music and

1:00:11

just to dance my ass off and to be

1:00:13

drenched in sweat and get home, be like, that

1:00:15

was fucking awesome. It's 4.30 in the morning. Let's

1:00:18

go to sleep. Really? Yeah.

1:00:23

Like I was just at Coachella and like

1:00:26

at Coachella,

1:00:28

I am just dancing for 72 hours

1:00:30

straight. For real? Oh yeah. So wait, hold

1:00:32

on. You went to Coachella this year? I go over here. It's

1:00:34

like my 12th time. I know Blink 182 is

1:00:36

there, right? Yeah, I

1:00:38

didn't see them because they were

1:00:41

too far away from the other stuff I was seeing. Like

1:00:43

what kind of music are you into? Like I went

1:00:45

to, I

1:00:48

don't know how to say it. I like a lot of

1:00:50

shit. Like I like Kate Renata,

1:00:52

Anderson Pack. I

1:00:54

like Rufus De Soul. I like Tom

1:00:57

Nitz. I don't know one of those people. Right.

1:00:59

But like so. Bjork, I would

1:01:01

have seen Bjork in a heartbeat. I saw Burna

1:01:04

Boy. He was fucking sick. I saw Chemical Brothers,

1:01:06

Kate Renata.

1:01:08

I saw SG, Eric Prids.

1:01:10

Like

1:01:13

I saw like probably 20 shows. So

1:01:16

do you like more like industrial

1:01:18

music or like? I like a lot. I like electronic

1:01:21

stuff. And then I also like. I like,

1:01:23

what is it? Like 120 beats per minute.

1:01:27

Whatever that is at that pace really

1:01:30

allows me to stop thinking. Someone

1:01:33

had

1:01:34

a party that

1:01:36

we were listening to music. And someone

1:01:38

was like, and I was like, whoa, what is

1:01:40

this? And then I tapped out for

1:01:43

the next song or whatever. And then it came back

1:01:45

and I went, what is this? Someone that knew

1:01:47

a lot about music goes, oh,

1:01:48

he's going to find your groove, man. You're 120 beats per minute.

1:01:51

That stuck with me forever. So

1:01:53

I think a faster paced thing. I like, I

1:01:55

don't like things that are just like this fucking

1:01:58

the same. Like.

1:01:59

Yeah. I like

1:02:02

more dynamic stuff that changes. You

1:02:05

can do that for a little bit and then you can shift and

1:02:08

groove a little more.

1:02:11

Disco is making kind of an interesting

1:02:14

disco house kind of a vibe

1:02:16

right now. Really? Yeah, it's fun. Wait,

1:02:19

so did you see any like... I

1:02:21

don't mean that Burna Boy isn't an actual

1:02:23

artist, but... Burna Boy is the biggest

1:02:26

artist in Africa.

1:02:28

And it's a huge blind spot for America.

1:02:31

That's why I was interested in seeing Burna Boy because

1:02:33

I know in Africa he's

1:02:35

like the way

1:02:36

Cristiano Ronaldo is in Europe.

1:02:39

Wait, is it soccer player?

1:02:40

You know Cristiano Ronaldo. The soccer

1:02:42

player? Yeah. Yeah. So

1:02:45

like the way they worship him... Oh, you just mean... Okay.

1:02:48

I'm just comparing. Like we don't really have anyone in America that

1:02:50

we're like, fucking, that's our guy. But

1:02:52

like Burna Boy is

1:02:54

massive, but he's just a huge blind spot. So

1:02:56

I really wanted to see...

1:02:59

It's like Bad Bunny or... Bad

1:03:02

Bunny is all... Bad Bunny is like... Yeah,

1:03:05

and I know one... Not no one, but I never heard of

1:03:07

him. And then all of a sudden they're like, oh,

1:03:09

he sold out nine dot dot dots. And I was like...

1:03:12

Yeah, he's... He's like,

1:03:14

this is crazy.

1:03:15

Burna Boy is a... Burna Boy is a rock star. He's

1:03:17

like a legit fucking... Yeah, he's dope.

1:03:20

Oh, wow. And so what does he do? Is

1:03:22

it like singing or is it... He's got a lot of

1:03:24

songs that are kind of like... He's a big Afro

1:03:27

Beats guy. Yeah. Which

1:03:29

is fun. You

1:03:31

might like Afro Beats.

1:03:34

Like that song

1:03:36

Last Last is good.

1:03:39

That's crazy that you can be huge in a different country

1:03:41

and in America. It's almost like... It is

1:03:44

kind of cool when you don't know

1:03:46

of someone. There's

1:03:49

so many people that I see that

1:03:51

have like 45

1:03:51

million followers that I've

1:03:54

never heard of before. And I'm just

1:03:56

like, how is that possible? Like to be

1:03:58

that famous?

1:03:59

I've never even heard of you. It's

1:04:01

a weird thing when you go like, to

1:04:04

live in oblivion,

1:04:07

I go, yeah, I've never heard of that at all. It's

1:04:10

an empowering thing in a weird way, where you go

1:04:12

like, almost like, you

1:04:14

can stop playing this Halston, I can't hear it.

1:04:17

I know I'm not gonna put him on. I'm not gonna

1:04:19

see if I like, that's like being on a state

1:04:22

and go, no, you should listen to Frank Black, you'll like

1:04:24

him. And then you're like, wow, this is apparently music you gotta get

1:04:26

into. Like you don't know who Frank Black is probably.

1:04:28

I don't know. Frank Black was the lead singer

1:04:30

of the Pixies. And he DM'd me recently, it's not

1:04:32

a big deal.

1:04:34

And so, but like, it's crazy when you

1:04:37

don't know something. Yeah. That's

1:04:39

why- And everyone else knows it and then it's

1:04:41

like, but it's a, my wife says

1:04:43

it's the arrogance of a loser,

1:04:45

to be like, yeah, I don't know that shit, whatever.

1:04:48

And then go, okay, so like,

1:04:49

the whole world does, but you don't,

1:04:51

maybe if you give it a try, you might

1:04:53

like it. Like that's what,

1:04:56

when we left

1:04:56

Serbia and I was like,

1:04:58

it was when I found out I didn't know any of your music.

1:05:01

And I was like, well, maybe if I, maybe

1:05:02

I'm turning into an old man, maybe I need to

1:05:04

try to broaden my, what

1:05:07

I like a little bit. Cause it's

1:05:09

not, it's cool to like something that

1:05:12

you've never heard of. All of a sudden you're

1:05:14

into something and like, oh fuck.

1:05:16

Yeah, like I think what I love so much about going

1:05:18

to festivals like Coachella is like,

1:05:21

you see a bunch of people that you would never

1:05:23

make the effort to go see on

1:05:25

their own.

1:05:26

Like I probably wouldn't have gone to a Burna boy concert,

1:05:29

I probably wouldn't have gone to see like, you

1:05:32

know, the chemical brothers or

1:05:34

Eric Prids. Like I wasn't even that familiar

1:05:36

with, with the chemical brothers. And then I went to their show

1:05:38

and I was like,

1:05:39

oh my God, they're like visuals

1:05:41

were like,

1:05:42

like an art film. I was just standing there like,

1:05:45

totally

1:05:47

sober. Is it, this is how, oh, is

1:05:49

this the video? Yeah, this

1:05:51

is us in Serbia.

1:05:53

God beat me up,

1:05:56

ooh ooh ooh, everybody's got fire

1:05:58

on their hands. This will get in there. It really turns

1:06:01

out in like 15 seconds. Wait

1:06:08

for it. This

1:06:19

was fucking crazy. Oh,

1:06:31

this was a fucking night. Yeah.

1:06:40

I'm

1:06:42

trying to get them to buy the machine two and three right

1:06:44

now. Well, how would that even

1:06:46

go? Just buy them.

1:06:50

I was going to ask you now that the machine,

1:06:52

the movie is coming out.

1:06:55

Are you going to retire

1:06:58

the story? I

1:07:04

guess you have to come to the top soft fault tour to find out.

1:07:12

I don't think I don't mean I don't think so. I

1:07:14

don't know. And I mean, look, the movie does moderately

1:07:17

well than no, because, you know, you

1:07:20

can tell you how little I know about movies. Do you do

1:07:23

you get tired of telling the story? No,

1:07:25

I don't get.

1:07:27

I don't have a problem. I don't have a problem

1:07:29

telling the story at all at all. Literally

1:07:31

at all. But like there's no part of you that

1:07:34

like,

1:07:35

if I, if I tell a story multiple times, if

1:07:38

I'm like, I

1:07:39

don't know, I start to feel like, I don't

1:07:41

know. The like, I just start

1:07:43

to get in my own head about saying it again. No.

1:07:47

Yeah, but I do it, but

1:07:48

I do it for a living living. It's

1:07:50

like,

1:07:52

you know, it's the other thing is it's like I

1:07:55

had a, it was a growth period of like,

1:07:58

I retired the story in 2000.

1:07:59

I think 16.

1:08:01

So I'm never telling it again. And then that

1:08:03

January that the machine story

1:08:05

went viral.

1:08:07

And in 2017, I did my first show and I was done

1:08:09

telling it. I

1:08:12

had retired it. And

1:08:15

they were all yelling the machine. And

1:08:17

I'd already done like an hour and 15.

1:08:19

I had a second show that night.

1:08:20

And I was like,

1:08:22

and it was sold out in a blizzard. And

1:08:24

I was like, oh no, no, I retired that story. And

1:08:26

the guy goes, the fuck you did? I

1:08:29

just saw that on fucking Facebook, dude. That's the

1:08:31

only reason we're here. I got 12 fucking people, tell the

1:08:33

fucking story.

1:08:34

And I was like, oh, okay. And then I realized once

1:08:36

that went viral that there were people bringing people to

1:08:39

the shows to hear it for the first

1:08:41

time. So I saw I'll do this one run and

1:08:43

then I'll retire it. And then

1:08:45

the venues got bigger.

1:08:46

And they got bigger and bigger.

1:08:49

And I mean, I

1:08:50

jokingly said when I was in

1:08:52

theaters, I go, this run at theaters,

1:08:54

this for body shots

1:08:56

tour. I said, this run at theaters

1:08:59

and I'm done. Because

1:09:00

I was like, you can't add more. Like I'm doing two

1:09:03

shows a night, four shows in some venues.

1:09:06

Four a night? Four, no, four shows

1:09:08

like

1:09:09

two Saturday, two Friday. Oh, wow. And

1:09:11

so in like Minneapolis, I did six shows in

1:09:14

theaters. And so I was like, so this is it.

1:09:16

And then you go to bigger theaters. Now you're in theaters

1:09:19

and you're moving more tickets. And right now I'm

1:09:21

doing arenas. And so I'm like, and

1:09:23

I'm doing arenas in countries that

1:09:26

I've never, like, started doing arenas

1:09:28

in Australia.

1:09:29

And I'm like, okay, that's new fans. That's new

1:09:31

people that have never heard me tell the story

1:09:33

live. And I know how I feel

1:09:35

as a fan

1:09:37

when I wanna see something,

1:09:40

when I'm excited to see something and

1:09:42

it doesn't show up, I get

1:09:44

bummed. And then here's the crazier part. So

1:09:46

I'm with Ron White. You probably aren't familiar, but Ron White has

1:09:49

maybe the best story told in standup comedy

1:09:51

called Tater Salad. It's fucking

1:09:53

a perfect story. It's perfect.

1:09:56

And so I was doing Joe's Club, Joe's New

1:09:58

Club comedy mothership.

1:09:59

and I was just doing new material,

1:10:02

it's a club. I would never tell the machine in a club. And

1:10:06

they were losing their minds for the machine. And

1:10:08

I was like, guys, I'm definitely

1:10:10

not telling that story. And they were like, come on,

1:10:13

the machine.

1:10:14

And so I said, I'll tell you what,

1:10:16

I'll tell the machine if Ron White tells Tater Salad.

1:10:19

And the place went fucking

1:10:22

bananas. And they're like, wait,

1:10:24

Ron White's in here?

1:10:26

Because he's upstairs, he's hiding. They're

1:10:28

like, Ron White's in here, and he's about to tell Tater Salad.

1:10:31

Ron White comes on stage,

1:10:32

tells Tater Salad, the place goes fucking

1:10:36

ape shit. And then I realized

1:10:38

I can't follow that. With

1:10:41

the machine, I ended up doing 15 more minutes of new material

1:10:44

and then slide in the machine.

1:10:46

But like it was, and so, and the

1:10:48

other thing is, and there's a

1:10:50

lot of people would give you their opposing opinions,

1:10:54

is

1:10:55

when I say,

1:10:57

it's pretty cool when you say, when I was 22 years old, I

1:10:59

got involved with the Russian mafia and you hear 19,000

1:11:02

people fucking explode.

1:11:05

It's a cool feeling. It's like,

1:11:07

I was saying to someone the

1:11:09

other day,

1:11:10

I was listening to someone talk about when I take

1:11:12

my shirt off. When I take my shirt off,

1:11:14

that energy is so fucking,

1:11:18

I would say palatable, but I don't know what that word means.

1:11:21

But like so fucking

1:11:23

visceral, so real, they're like,

1:11:25

I'll never stop taking my fucking shirt off. And

1:11:28

listen, when the energy changes and the energy

1:11:30

shifts, then

1:11:33

I'll reconsider, but I think, I

1:11:35

mean, I said to someone, they go, what

1:11:38

are your expectations for the machine opening day

1:11:40

weekend? And I was saying on

1:11:42

press, 152 million opening day

1:11:44

weekend, do you know how ridiculous

1:11:46

that is? I didn't know that. So

1:11:49

you wanted to be bigger than

1:11:51

Top Gun Maverick. And

1:11:54

I went, is that how big that is? And they're like,

1:11:56

it made 120 million. And I went, whoa,

1:11:59

I won't be that.

1:11:59

And you go, wow, this is going to be huge then. Holy

1:12:03

shit, 150. That's

1:12:05

record breaking numbers. Wow.

1:12:08

I had no idea the machine was going to be that big. That's

1:12:10

going to be crazy. This

1:12:13

podcast is sponsored by maybe my

1:12:15

favorite sponsor, Mad Rabbit.

1:12:17

They make the best tattoo

1:12:19

bomb.

1:12:20

And that's right, I said tattoo because I'm unique.

1:12:23

And that's how I say the word tattoo. I think it was because

1:12:25

most of my early learning

1:12:28

of the word was on Benny Hill. And

1:12:30

that's how they say it over in London, tattoo. And

1:12:33

so I think that's where it came from. And

1:12:35

I keep it that way. But this is what Mad Rabbit has the

1:12:38

best tattoo bomb you're ever going

1:12:40

to find. And they're cool. They're cool

1:12:42

because they still sponsor the show. And

1:12:44

I pronounce their entire

1:12:47

business model incorrectly.

1:12:49

Here's the deal. Weather's getting nice. And

1:12:51

we're starting to spend a little more time outdoors and in the sun.

1:12:54

And if you know what I mean, tattoos are

1:12:56

in full view. You got to check out Mad

1:12:58

Rabbit. Mad Rabbit is committed to reinventing tattoo

1:13:00

aftercare, founded by two friends with

1:13:02

a passion for ink. Mad Rabbit creates

1:13:04

simple and effective natural products

1:13:07

that help improve the healing process and preserve

1:13:10

all tattoos. And they're delivered

1:13:12

1:13:14

Here's their product. Their hero product, the

1:13:16

tattoo bomb, revitalizes and replenishes

1:13:19

and proactively preserves tattoo

1:13:22

ink. It's effective on both old and new tattoos

1:13:24

and skins of all type. We got that for Leanne. We

1:13:26

got in the thing. I don't have any tattoos. Maybe

1:13:28

because I say it wrong. Plus, they've got all

1:13:31

the products you need

1:13:32

for your tattoo, from a tattoo sunscreen

1:13:34

to a tattoo soothing gel and more.

1:13:37

In April 2021, just two

1:13:39

years in a Mad Rabbit's existence, they

1:13:41

became a carbon neutral company. I got this

1:13:43

for Georgia. Georgia got a tattoo. We got into a big fight.

1:13:45

And then I ended the fight by sending

1:13:48

her a bunch of Mad Rabbit products.

1:13:50

And now she loves me. And all her friends love me. So

1:13:52

when you think tattoo care, think Mad

1:13:55

Rabbit. Think Mad Rabbit. They've

1:13:57

preserved over 1.5 million tattoos. And

1:13:59

1:14:24

the size like

1:14:26

it feels like a fucking Massive

1:14:30

Movie like it is a huge.

1:14:32

It feels like a fucking Marvel movie level

1:14:34

movie like it's big. Yeah It's

1:14:37

I want the very opening

1:14:40

scene of

1:14:41

like the movie You know when it like

1:14:43

I was like I remember being thing going. Oh, this isn't

1:14:46

what I thought I was signing up for Yeah, I

1:14:48

can I was like oh fuck. This is no Peter

1:14:50

fucking crushed it Peter crushed it

1:14:52

He crushed it. I think he didn't have he didn't

1:14:54

have to go that hard Like one of those

1:14:57

things where you're like you didn't have to you didn't have to do you

1:14:59

didn't have to go that hard I I'll

1:15:01

tell you the way I think the people

1:15:03

will process the movie

1:15:05

is I

1:15:07

Think they're gonna well, this is a great movie and Bert

1:15:09

didn't fuck it up

1:15:10

Like that was you know when we

1:15:12

when we did testing it like

1:15:14

it tested extremely well like through

1:15:16

the roof. Mm-hmm, and they said

1:15:20

What's your number one takeaway? From

1:15:22

this movie and everyone was

1:15:24

like he can he's not

1:15:27

ruining the movie with his acting

1:15:29

Which is like a huge compliment because

1:15:31

you have seen guys that go in and

1:15:33

do a movie and and they're and and so

1:15:35

I was like and so if I don't Fuck

1:15:38

like if that doesn't like draw you out of

1:15:40

the movie then all the stuff that's in the movie

1:15:42

like you murdering Fucking Eva's

1:15:44

fucking amazing. She really she's

1:15:46

fucking amazing in it My mark mark

1:15:49

Hamill's great the fucking and it

1:15:51

looks beautiful It's it the shots

1:15:53

are just like so well

1:15:55

done And I also the thing that initially

1:15:58

drew me into the project

1:15:59

besides

1:15:59

the fact that it was an awesome story and you know,

1:16:02

all that was just the way

1:16:05

the script turned it from

1:16:07

your story into

1:16:09

a movie. Yeah. I just think

1:16:11

is like

1:16:12

the way that was done, I just think was,

1:16:15

I can't imagine a better way to

1:16:17

turn it into like an actual movie. Yeah.

1:16:20

I'm excited. I don't know. So

1:16:22

when you go to like the screening, will you sit

1:16:24

and watch it or are you just going to go sit and drink?

1:16:28

Well, like at the premiere?

1:16:30

Yeah. I like to watch it in the crowd.

1:16:33

Yeah. You

1:16:36

know, I saw

1:16:37

it for the first time. I just saw it was just me,

1:16:40

my girlfriend and my friend, Mike. Your girlfriend texted

1:16:42

me. It was very sweet of her. She did. Her

1:16:45

DM'd me or whatever. She really enjoyed it. Yeah. And

1:16:48

I didn't think she was going to. I didn't think she was going to either. Yeah.

1:16:52

I mean, it's like, it's like, I can get,

1:16:55

like, I can get, there's a lot of people I can get, like,

1:16:58

she, I, she must've DM'd me. She definitely

1:17:00

not my number, but

1:17:02

she, she was, yeah, she liked it. And she, I was, I was like, anytime

1:17:04

anyone likes anything I do, like razzledazzles

1:17:07

are a perfect example, but everything I do, I sit

1:17:09

and I go, is that fucking, does

1:17:11

this even good? Like the

1:17:13

cabin, I couldn't even sit through.

1:17:14

I couldn't even sit through the edit. They'd

1:17:17

send edits and I just gave it to Leanne

1:17:19

and go, can you just give me, give him my notes? Yeah.

1:17:23

I'm like, it's, I'm so embarrassed

1:17:25

because I don't,

1:17:26

I like being in the moment. I like making stuff,

1:17:29

but with, I'm not good at editing and I'm also

1:17:31

not good at giving notes. Yeah. And

1:17:33

I

1:17:34

remember one night I'm in bed and I hear Leanne cackling.

1:17:36

This is during the pandemic. Cackling

1:17:38

when anyone's looking for anything good to watch, she's

1:17:40

cackling in the living room.

1:17:42

So I come out and she's watching the cabin

1:17:45

and I go, what are you laughing at? She goes, this is

1:17:47

fucking hilarious.

1:17:48

I go, it is? She was like, you were there. How

1:17:50

do you not know that? I go, I don't know. My

1:17:53

favorite parts of the movie are you and it because

1:17:55

I have no connection to that. I'm

1:17:58

jealous of the scenes you do. I go, those are fucking

1:18:01

like, I'm not gonna

1:18:03

spoil things, but I watched it. I

1:18:05

was like, oh, fucking.

1:18:06

So that's, you know. Those were

1:18:08

some fun ones. I think when you do edit

1:18:11

though, you get better at watching yourself objectively.

1:18:13

Cause I mean, I'm making YouTube videos

1:18:16

for song, I have

1:18:18

to watch my own shit over and over and over again.

1:18:20

I'm editing all these videos. And

1:18:22

by the end, I definitely hate it. Like I definitely wanna, by

1:18:24

the time I upload it, I'm sitting there and I'm like, just

1:18:27

dead face. Just like, yeah, that's

1:18:29

really funny. No,

1:18:32

that's not good.

1:18:34

Okay, now it works. That's

1:18:37

hilarious. And then I upload it and like,

1:18:39

give me the fuck away from this thing. And then I can watch it like

1:18:41

later on and be like, okay, yeah. I'm like that

1:18:43

with a new joke. Like a new joke, when you get

1:18:45

a new joke, you get really,

1:18:47

really excited about it. And then you

1:18:49

tell it a couple of times, you're like, why are they laughing

1:18:51

at this part?

1:18:53

Right, like, or like a part that you weren't expecting them to laugh.

1:18:55

Yeah, and you're like, what? I don't get it.

1:18:57

Am I saying it different? Like, I

1:18:59

used to have this joke about

1:19:02

black baby powder. They should make black baby powder. Cause

1:19:05

all the white stuff just stands out. I

1:19:08

go, and I say to a white guy, when

1:19:10

you put it on, it blends in. But when he

1:19:12

puts it on, I point to a black guy, he goes, he's gotta

1:19:14

go ride the whip. And it

1:19:17

made no sense. And they would laugh

1:19:19

so hard. And then I remember one time someone

1:19:21

backstage goes,

1:19:22

why do you think they laugh at that part? And I go, why? What

1:19:25

are you saying? And he goes, well, it's not funny. It makes no sense.

1:19:28

And I go, yeah, I have no idea why they're laughing. Like I said

1:19:30

at one time and it worked. And then I went, I'll just stick with

1:19:32

it for the rest of my fucking life.

1:19:33

But yeah, like, I feel like that,

1:19:36

is it easier when you do someone else's project

1:19:39

to just be like, eh, whatever, my job's done.

1:19:42

Yeah, it's easier to like,

1:19:44

I mean, like, cause there's no, there's not

1:19:46

pressure really. Yeah. When

1:19:48

it's not, if you're just like acting in something and

1:19:50

it's different if you're like the main character,

1:19:53

but if you're just acting in something and it's not like the

1:19:55

project isn't on your back, it's

1:19:58

sick, you can kind of just show up and do your job.

1:19:59

And that's also kind of the most helpful thing for

1:20:02

the project is just to like Be aware

1:20:04

of your place in the project and just show up

1:20:06

and do your job and not like make things

1:20:08

about you that aren't about you

1:20:12

Sweet okay, so what's like

1:20:13

what's your list of actors you want to work with?

1:20:16

Pretty

1:20:18

like

1:20:19

Fortunate to have worked with

1:20:21

like most of the people that I

1:20:23

have been like dying to work with so really I

1:20:25

think there's still like three Yeah,

1:20:28

yeah, there's still like three or four

1:20:31

that I like grew up idolizing

1:20:34

that I haven't worked with yet, but

1:20:35

Like I got to work

1:20:38

with like Jonah Hill shut up at our

1:20:40

Adam Sandler and

1:20:43

Then like all the people that were Dude,

1:20:46

you did a grown-ups to yeah first movie ever So

1:20:50

I went from being on YouTube and like

1:20:52

making my own shit to like being on this

1:20:54

like massive movie with her building

1:20:58

a duplicate

1:20:59

house just to remake the backyard

1:21:01

and like a massive football field-sized tent

1:21:03

and I'm just like

1:21:05

Holy shit, like this is insane. I

1:21:07

wonder if I could sell my Social

1:21:10

media as behind the scenes for

1:21:12

an Adam Sandler movie so I could work with Adam

1:21:14

Sandler I just want to work. I want to watch

1:21:16

him work. I want to see what he does. He's

1:21:18

just the coolest fucking guy

1:21:20

I'm mad,

1:21:22

but I fucking ruined it.

1:21:24

Yeah, you've seen my interview with Adam Sandler No,

1:21:26

it's so bad. Is it? I mean,

1:21:28

I feel like I I was like I would did that

1:21:30

movie I was like 18 19. I'm coming from

1:21:32

college thinking I'm like, you know thinking

1:21:35

I'm knowing what I'm talking about Like

1:21:37

I wasn't a dick in any way I definitely was

1:21:39

like

1:21:40

but I also like I don't think I was

1:21:42

able to fully

1:21:44

Express how much it meant

1:21:46

to me to be there and I kind

1:21:48

of wish I could Tell him

1:21:50

Chris Farley when he interviewed Paul McCartney

1:21:53

Do

1:21:53

you ever see that?

1:21:55

See that this is why couldn't 80 young kid Third

1:21:58

city you 30 30 Yep,

1:22:01

31's my threshold. It's

1:22:03

gotta have to date like a 39 year old. How

1:22:06

old are you? No, 50,

1:22:10

I'm 50. Okay. Yeah. I

1:22:13

was gonna say nine years is not that crazy. No, fuck, I'm 50. But 19,

1:22:16

that's fucking nuts, dude. Yeah, that's, you

1:22:18

could be my child. I could. It bothered

1:22:21

me a little bit when we were shooting,

1:22:23

because I kept going like,

1:22:25

ah fuck, we can't really

1:22:27

hang out. Like,

1:22:30

it's a little creepy if I go,

1:22:33

if I invite you and Zoe

1:22:35

over to our house and you guys come over, you're like, smells

1:22:37

like old people. And

1:22:39

you're like, oh wow, look, they have pictures of their kids up. I

1:22:42

don't think, I

1:22:44

don't think it's weird. I think once you're over a certain

1:22:46

age, it's no longer weird.

1:22:49

That's the weird thing, my dad was friends with the dude 10 years

1:22:51

younger than him, like the whole time. I remember

1:22:53

being like, what did they have in common? And then you'd

1:22:55

be getting older and you're like, oh a lot. And like at

1:22:57

a certain age, it just becomes about life.

1:23:00

Yeah. My oldest friend, who's

1:23:02

my oldest friend?

1:23:07

I don't have a lot of old, I mean, I should make some older friends,

1:23:11

you know? Yeah. All

1:23:14

right, so there's no actors, I gotta get

1:23:16

you out of here. There's no actors you wanna work with.

1:23:19

I'm chilling actually.

1:23:21

No, I really want to, I mean, Will Ferrell

1:23:23

has always been a dream of mine to work with. I

1:23:25

technically worked with him, I did

1:23:28

a voice in that movie, Stray's, that's coming out to me. Oh,

1:23:30

you're doing a movie with him right now? Oh, you did

1:23:32

Stray's?

1:23:33

He's in Stray, he's the main character in Stray's.

1:23:36

And you're in Stray's? And I was in a scene in Stray's,

1:23:38

so I got to work with him there. Can

1:23:40

I tell you Stray's? But it's my first time like

1:23:42

working with him, like

1:23:45

acting with him.

1:23:46

And the other guy, the

1:23:48

only other like two main

1:23:50

guys that come to mind that I haven't worked with already

1:23:53

are Jack Black and Seth Rogen.

1:23:56

Seth Rogen will be badass. Seth

1:23:59

Rogen, Seth Rogen.

1:23:59

would be really badass, because I think you can...

1:24:02

Because it's funny to watch Seth Rogen

1:24:04

in little things. Like, he was in Anchorman.

1:24:07

Yeah, he's in, I mean, I don't know if he was in Anchorman. But he was

1:24:09

in Anchorman. He's a cameraman. Oh, right,

1:24:11

right. So, like, you forget, like, you forget,

1:24:13

like... He was in a... He had a lot of small roles

1:24:15

in, like, little things early on. Yeah. And then

1:24:17

you're like, oh, that's fucking Seth Rogen. Yeah,

1:24:19

and then you realize

1:24:21

it's cool when you see those, because then you

1:24:23

go, oh, he's

1:24:23

kind of... Right. And I don't mean

1:24:26

to say worked his way up, but he's done a lot of

1:24:28

the jobs. Right. So, like,

1:24:29

one of the drawbacks of me is I've never did

1:24:31

that. So, I don't have a lot of that energy.

1:24:34

So, I don't... Maybe I don't see it or respect

1:24:37

it a ton. You know? But, like,

1:24:39

he does. Right. That's what's cool about him is he

1:24:41

does. Yeah. And then he... And then

1:24:43

made his own movies.

1:24:44

And he's

1:24:46

a fucking... I think he's a

1:24:49

cool motherfucker. Yeah. Jack

1:24:51

Black, I just think, is, like, the funniest. He just

1:24:53

makes me laugh, like, School of Rock. Nacho

1:24:56

Libre was, like, one of my favorite movies when

1:24:58

I was, like, 13.

1:24:59

Jack Black's. Yeah.

1:25:01

And did you see Super Mario? No.

1:25:05

Dude, I loved Super Mario. For

1:25:07

real? Oh, yeah. I took some mushrooms, went

1:25:09

and saw Super Mario, took more mushrooms,

1:25:12

went to Super Mario World,

1:25:14

and just fucking vibed out, dude.

1:25:16

I was jumping, hitting my head

1:25:19

on those little...

1:25:21

Little blocks. It was incredible. Oh,

1:25:24

is that... Super Mario's... My isla

1:25:27

texted me the song to Princess Peach.

1:25:29

Peach. Yeah. Jack

1:25:31

Black as Bowser. Come down to nowhere in the movie.

1:25:34

It's fucking hilarious. Really? It's really

1:25:36

funny. I loved it.

1:25:38

That's fucking... Yeah, Jack Black would be a cool dude. I

1:25:40

remember watching him when I first moved out to LA. It

1:25:43

was right when he was starting to pop. And

1:25:45

he was doing Tenacious D, but he was... You'd

1:25:47

see him at shows. And he

1:25:49

was, like, I think he was dating Laura Keitlinger.

1:25:52

That's crazy.

1:25:54

Laura Keitlinger is... I

1:25:56

mean, still is a great comic, but she was

1:25:58

a really...

1:25:59

big name in comedy and Jack

1:26:02

Black and I was like part

1:26:04

of Tenacious D. One of my best

1:26:06

stories for a long time was when I was in high

1:26:08

school. It was the first time I ever got drunk

1:26:10

before like a school event

1:26:13

and they said we had a celebrity guest.

1:26:16

And it was like a thing that everyone volunteered

1:26:19

to do because all day it was like we held a prom

1:26:21

for kids with like kidney failures or something.

1:26:23

And so if you worked at it, you'd get all

1:26:26

your service hours.

1:26:27

So we all get hammered before this thing. Is that a

1:26:29

real thing? Yeah,

1:26:30

it was a renal prom.

1:26:31

And it was like a nice thing that our school did

1:26:34

put on this prom for kids that didn't have their proms because

1:26:36

they were sick. Okay. Was everyone

1:26:38

had kidney failure though? I don't know if it was all

1:26:40

kidney failure or not. It was a lot of... It just seems

1:26:42

very specific of like, there's not going

1:26:44

to be any fruit juices. Right, right.

1:26:47

Yeah. So... This

1:26:49

is a prom for guys that are nearsighted. It

1:26:52

was kids that didn't have prom

1:26:54

because they were sick.

1:26:58

And they said it was going to be a celebrity guest because it was for

1:27:00

charity. So we all just

1:27:02

get hammered before this thing.

1:27:04

And

1:27:05

this is in the peak of like

1:27:07

me having seen Nacho Libre and knowing

1:27:10

every word to the movie. Yeah. And

1:27:13

they go, and now for our celebrity guest, Jack

1:27:15

Black.

1:27:16

And I'm in the crowd just like, I've

1:27:19

never been drunk at school. And

1:27:21

I'm like, what the fuck is going on?

1:27:24

And then Jack Black comes up and starts taking song

1:27:26

requests.

1:27:27

And I don't know if you've seen Nacho Libre, but

1:27:29

there's a song called Encarnacion that

1:27:32

he sings to the woman he loves.

1:27:34

And me and my best friend, we used to sing this all

1:27:36

the time, like all around school. Halfway

1:27:39

through the song, he forgets the words

1:27:40

and he's like, ah, fuck. And

1:27:43

he's like, I forgot the words. And everyone starts going, Jimmy,

1:27:45

Jimmy, tell him. And he like points at

1:27:48

me and he's like, you know the words? And

1:27:50

I'm like, to kiss your mouth. I

1:27:52

break my vow. And

1:27:55

he's like, thanks, dude.

1:27:57

And just goes right back into it. And

1:27:59

I'm just like.

1:28:00

And all my friends were like, I'm

1:28:02

like, you're just saying to fucking Jack Black.

1:28:05

And

1:28:05

for like years, that was like my best.

1:28:08

That was like the best thing that ever happened to me. Oh.

1:28:10

It was incredible. That's fucking awesome.

1:28:13

Yeah. Do you think Jack Black would remember? Only

1:28:18

one way to find out. If I ever meet him, I'm gonna ask

1:28:20

him, hey, do you remember this? All

1:28:22

right, hey, let's invite Jack Black to the premiere.

1:28:25

Oh yeah? Oh

1:28:27

nice. The, that'll be great.

1:28:30

You think he's coming? Yeah. Yeah.

1:28:35

I don't know who's coming. Jack

1:28:37

Black, I think for some reason, I feel like I know, I

1:28:41

think he might've just followed me on Instagram. I

1:28:44

don't have my phone. I don't know. My Instagram

1:28:47

who's followed me since

1:28:49

Razzle Dazzle has gotten

1:28:51

a little better. Like meaning like it's gotten a little

1:28:53

juicier of like, like I got like,

1:28:56

but who I am, who I get excited

1:28:58

about is probably not who you get excited about. Do

1:29:00

you feel, this

1:29:01

was something I experienced on Twitter.

1:29:04

The more like cool people that followed me. Not to follow

1:29:06

Twitter at all. The more cool people

1:29:08

that followed me on Twitter, the more I, the

1:29:10

less I tweeted, the more I was like, I don't wanna

1:29:13

say that. If so and so is gonna

1:29:15

see it. Like I remember Seth Rogen started following me on Twitter

1:29:17

like

1:29:18

years ago. And after,

1:29:20

and like for the next like six months, everything I was

1:29:22

about to tweet, I was like, would Seth

1:29:25

like that? I don't

1:29:27

know.

1:29:29

I don't want him to think I'm lame.

1:29:30

And now I just like, I can't even, I

1:29:34

can't even do Twitter. I don't do Twitter.

1:29:36

I don't, I don't do Twitter at all because.

1:29:39

They took your check away. No, no, no, I still

1:29:41

have a check. They took mine dude. So I'm selling my fucking

1:29:43

Tesla.

1:29:46

Wait, what is it? Wait, did they take checks away?

1:29:48

They took my check. Why would they

1:29:50

take checks? They took check cause you have to pay now.

1:29:53

What? Yeah. Am I paying

1:29:57

for a check mark?

1:29:59

I don't know, I may not have a check mark. Some people got

1:30:02

on. Pull me up on Twitter, see if I have a check mark. But

1:30:05

I remember when I first got my check, it was a bunch of people were like

1:30:07

impersonating me and saying like, whack shit. I knew

1:30:09

this was happening on Instagram, you could buy checks.

1:30:11

Yeah. I didn't know this was happening on

1:30:14

Twitter. Okay, I got it. You're good, man.

1:30:16

Yeah, but I got mine back in the day. I got mine a long time ago.

1:30:18

I got mine in like 2011. I

1:30:21

bet I was before that. You wanna

1:30:23

have a check off, bro? You know how I got mine? You know how

1:30:25

I got mine?

1:30:27

Warren Sapp. He

1:30:31

had pulled over it. Warren

1:30:33

Sapp said to me, you got a blue check mark? And I said,

1:30:35

no. And he goes, you want one? And I was

1:30:37

like, please. We're at a theme park. We're

1:30:40

at Magic Mountain. This is how you had to get

1:30:43

checks back in the day? This is what was at the beginning

1:30:45

of Twitter. And he called a guy. He had to

1:30:47

go to Magic Mountain with Warren Sapp. Yeah,

1:30:49

that's how I got a check mark. And then you go to a little kiosk and

1:30:51

there was a guy working there. And that was Elon.

1:30:54

And he said, he goes, all right.

1:30:57

Upload your Instagram real quick.

1:31:00

Delete it and then reload it. See if it, you know, just reload

1:31:02

it. I reloaded it. I had a blue

1:31:04

check and I went shut the fuck up. Wow. He

1:31:06

was like, yeah, you're welcome. I was like, oh, thanks. What

1:31:08

I was gonna say is like,

1:31:10

you can see a bunch of positive things.

1:31:13

And if you see one thing, like if

1:31:15

someone's like, you're a fucking idiot. You're

1:31:17

like, whatever. But if someone says something

1:31:19

that actually you were already thinking about

1:31:21

yourself. Here's the worst

1:31:23

part.

1:31:24

So then I've been, and

1:31:26

then I've hired this

1:31:28

woman. I said woman, my friend

1:31:30

Victoria, but she's, I hired her. She's a real

1:31:33

social media person.

1:31:35

And cause she just knows it. First of all, she

1:31:37

has in lines of communication with everyone.

1:31:40

So if something's happening with something, she can figure it out.

1:31:42

But more importantly, she's wise to how

1:31:45

to tweet. And I was

1:31:47

just like, keep me out of the fucking, keep me out of Twitter.

1:31:50

And then Rogan

1:31:51

sends me a fucking article on

1:31:54

Twitter. So I go to check it out. And I

1:31:56

can't open it. And I was like, fuck. And

1:31:58

I, and something happened.

1:31:59

with Twitter where they said, hey, if

1:32:02

you don't log in now, you're gonna have a hard time logging in. And I

1:32:04

didn't have my login password on my new phone. It wasn't

1:32:06

saved to my key chain. So I couldn't log

1:32:08

in. So I couldn't log into my new one.

1:32:11

So I created a burner account. This

1:32:14

is the worst burner account you've ever

1:32:16

heard of in your entire life. Is it at not

1:32:18

Burt Kreischer?

1:32:20

Nope. In a photo of you with a mustache. Oh,

1:32:22

no. That would have

1:32:25

been way better. You were with sunglasses

1:32:27

and a mustache? I

1:32:30

didn't

1:32:31

have my glasses with me and I

1:32:33

was needing a username.

1:32:35

I don't know why, but I said, oops, I

1:32:37

did it again. Burner

1:32:40

has just been exposed.

1:32:42

Well, oh, so

1:32:46

then I

1:32:50

get my burner and then I jokingly

1:32:52

text to our group chat. Yeah. You

1:32:55

got me back on Twitter. I have a burner account now. And

1:32:58

then I see that because I had my glasses, I

1:33:01

didn't put again, I put Asian.

1:33:04

So I said, oops, I did it Asian.

1:33:06

And then I said that to someone

1:33:08

on a radio show. I said, yeah, I have a burner account.

1:33:11

And I said, oops, I did it Asian and I misspelled

1:33:14

Asian. So I didn't, I don't, my burner account

1:33:16

is oops, I did it ASEAN. And

1:33:18

so, but I got on this

1:33:22

burner account

1:33:25

and I started going to like

1:33:28

things on Twitter and I fucking

1:33:31

saw something about me again. I go, what am I doing?

1:33:33

What am I fucking doing? And so I said,

1:33:35

I go, I'm out. I deleted Twitter off my

1:33:38

phone again. This was in Australia. I was like,

1:33:40

I was, and I was like, I'm fucking out. I don't want to

1:33:42

fucking deal with it because it's like, I don't,

1:33:45

it's not real. Like it's not, none

1:33:47

of that, none of those conversations are, are

1:33:49

really happening with me and my life. You

1:33:51

know, it's like, the guy doesn't like you and he

1:33:53

hates you. And there's a lot of people that

1:33:55

the more, the more,

1:33:57

like, especially when you start promoting something, like,

1:33:59

The more you promote,

1:34:02

the more it gives you a reason for someone to not like you.

1:34:05

And so when I promoted Razzle Dazzle, there's people

1:34:07

that just were like, oh, this fucking

1:34:09

guy again. And so you're like, yeah,

1:34:11

but I can't not promote something

1:34:14

I did, I want people to see it.

1:34:15

And for the little amount of people that dislike it,

1:34:17

you get a ton of people that like it, and that's what

1:34:19

you need to focus on, but

1:34:21

I just read the negative thing. Yeah.

1:34:25

Tune out.

1:34:26

I'm jealous when you hear people like,

1:34:30

like that don't have any social

1:34:32

media. Like me, David, David Zanez. Yeah,

1:34:35

he has no social media. And he changes his

1:34:38

number like every fucking five weeks. He DM'd me one

1:34:40

time.

1:34:41

I...

1:34:45

I think I have 20 Pete

1:34:47

numbers.

1:34:51

It's actually absurd. John Mulaney talked

1:34:53

about this in his standup special.

1:34:57

I started putting dates on them because

1:34:59

I would be like, I just need to look for this recent

1:35:02

one. Well, the one

1:35:04

I have is dead. It's gone, dude.

1:35:06

If it wasn't in the last four weeks, it's... No,

1:35:10

he one time I tweeted, I was

1:35:13

fucking in bed, and I posted on Instagram,

1:35:16

it's weird that I'm laying in bed next to my wife

1:35:18

thinking,

1:35:19

oh, I like Pete Davidson's new haircut, he looks

1:35:21

cute. And then he

1:35:24

wrote to me, hey,

1:35:25

thanks for the message, but now all I'm seeing is

1:35:28

how many people hate my new haircut. And

1:35:30

I was like, sorry, I didn't mean for that to happen.

1:35:32

He's like, nah, you know, hope everything's good.

1:35:35

Like it's just like, yeah, I can see

1:35:37

why his

1:35:38

amount of fame is like insane.

1:35:41

You just gotta

1:35:42

be off it totally. You gotta just tune

1:35:44

out. Because I go, this

1:35:47

is the crazy part. This

1:35:50

is the, it should be fun, right? Shouldn't

1:35:53

it be fun? It should be fun. I always,

1:35:55

I... Or is it gross if you like it? It's

1:35:58

not gross if you like it. I don't think it's gross if you like it.

1:35:59

I've never done it. So like, well, oh,

1:36:02

like liking the premiere. I've never done a premiere. No,

1:36:04

I mean, I think for you, like, this is exciting.

1:36:06

Like you put your, it's your movie. Like you should,

1:36:09

you should definitely be excited.

1:36:10

I always like

1:36:11

try to not get too excited about like premieres

1:36:14

and stuff because I always feel like

1:36:17

sort of disappointed afterwards,

1:36:20

not in the project, but in

1:36:22

the thing. Like I think whenever you like,

1:36:25

something is a milestone on your calendar

1:36:27

that's like coming up, that something

1:36:30

like a premiere, that's like, you're just doing press.

1:36:32

It's not the fulfilling part of what you're

1:36:35

doing. It's just the part

1:36:37

where you

1:36:38

put it out into the world. It always feels a little

1:36:40

disappointing.

1:36:41

Like,

1:36:44

I mean, for me, like the best part of the

1:36:46

process is like when you finish making it

1:36:48

or like a part along the way

1:36:50

that excites you where something clicks and works

1:36:52

and you're like, fuck yeah. And you have that adrenaline

1:36:55

rush. I never get that at like premieres.

1:36:58

I just generally feel like,

1:37:00

oh, you feel a little like kind of vulnerable

1:37:03

and like, oh, now everyone's just going to judge

1:37:05

the thing that I did.

1:37:07

Yeah. I can't

1:37:09

imagine. I mean, a premier, Leanne said

1:37:11

to me, and Razzle Dazzle just

1:37:13

came out. So that's why I keep talking about it. She

1:37:15

said, we

1:37:16

should have a premiere party. And I said, no, I have

1:37:18

no interest in watching my special with

1:37:21

anyone else. And she said, yeah, but we've done it before. And I went,

1:37:23

no, but what we did was

1:37:25

we let our kids, we let all our kids in

1:37:27

the neighborhood watch the parts that they could watch about

1:37:29

the kids. I talked about them. Yeah.

1:37:32

And I was like, that was fun because

1:37:33

it was cool to watch a child go like, well,

1:37:35

you said my name and you're like, yeah, yeah,

1:37:37

you know, but like I could not watch

1:37:40

people watching

1:37:41

my comedy specials. Are you going to watch people

1:37:43

watch the machine? I don't know. That's

1:37:46

what I'm saying. Like, this is all new to me. I'm excited about

1:37:48

the event. Like, I love having

1:37:50

something to look forward to. And I'm excited

1:37:52

about the event and the fun that it's

1:37:54

going to be. And like,

1:37:55

I think, you know, it'll be fun to see everyone

1:37:57

that was there that worked on it.

1:37:59

cool but uh I

1:38:02

think

1:38:03

and I wouldn't say this about everything

1:38:06

I think that you will enjoy

1:38:08

watching this movie in a theater with

1:38:10

the premiere crowd I think

1:38:13

it'll play well and I think there'll be a lot

1:38:15

of laughs and I think it'll make you happy I

1:38:18

will I will you know what happened when I did

1:38:20

the first screening so I went to the first

1:38:22

screening and I sat up front and I got two bottles

1:38:24

of wine because I was like I'm not gonna watch this sober

1:38:28

and the second the movie started I started bawling

1:38:30

crying and I cried through

1:38:32

the whole movie and I did

1:38:35

my lines to the screen

1:38:38

and they said hey

1:38:40

we need to move you for the

1:38:42

next screening because you really affect

1:38:45

how we watch what

1:38:49

is this they're

1:38:51

like I feel like I shouldn't be here for this moment

1:38:54

that Bert is having with you're sitting in the

1:38:56

front everyone in the theater is looking

1:39:01

at you you gotta sit like in the back

1:39:04

so bad and so then the next screening

1:39:06

they sat me in the back and even Leanne

1:39:08

was like hey

1:39:10

you're being too loud crying stop like

1:39:12

I just would get what I'm crying about I just

1:39:14

emotional it's crazy it's just insane

1:39:17

what's like do you remember that do you remember the day that

1:39:19

I cried on set and you all you did

1:39:21

was you did a line you go my name is bird I don't go

1:39:23

to class much and I started crying

1:39:25

uncontrollably I get that and they're like what

1:39:27

is it I go I actually said that like

1:39:30

it's crazy like I used to say that and then

1:39:32

I'm watching someone say that it's an insane

1:39:34

moment to have

1:39:36

you know the line you know the line that

1:39:38

is that the reason Leanne fell in love with you right

1:39:41

I tell you that ever mm-hmm the guestbook

1:39:43

guestbook is such a great fucking show guestbook

1:39:47

was such a great show did you ever see the Joey Diaz thing

1:39:49

where he ends up sucking the guy's dick

1:39:52

they are oh yeah that was a funny

1:39:54

that was the guestbook was so funny

1:39:57

do you know that my favorite line this

1:39:59

is the line

1:39:59

where Leanne hit

1:40:02

pause and was like, he needs

1:40:04

to play you. So

1:40:06

when the dude

1:40:09

gets kicked out of his house and you offered

1:40:11

to let him move into your van, and

1:40:13

he goes, I don't know, man, it's gonna be tight, two of us. And you

1:40:15

go, no, you'll have complete total privacy. I

1:40:17

have no proof of your vision. I was

1:40:19

such a great fucking line. Leanne

1:40:25

hit pause. It's so funny because you're not

1:40:27

that guy.

1:40:29

You play that guy so fucking

1:40:31

well. You play that

1:40:33

dude so well. So

1:40:35

what's the plan? You go to Atlanta tonight? I'm

1:40:38

going to Atlanta tonight. What did you get to see Will?

1:40:40

What? Do you plan on what you're gonna

1:40:42

say to Will?

1:40:43

Well, I know him at this point. He

1:40:46

produced a movie I did that was

1:40:49

at

1:40:49

Sundance. Young Taco? Young

1:40:52

Taco? Who's Young Taco?

1:40:55

You said Young Taco. I know, but you

1:40:57

said, wait, is that a secret too? Oh

1:41:00

no, that's a different movie. That's a different movie. I was

1:41:02

like, Young Taco. Young

1:41:04

Taco, can I shout out to Young Taco? Shout

1:41:07

out to Travis. I thought his name was Young Taco.

1:41:09

Well, that's his Instagram name, but his name's Travis, Travis

1:41:11

Bennett. Travis Bennett's a cool motherfucker

1:41:14

to follow. He's been a fun follow.

1:41:16

He's the man. He is, and he

1:41:18

did something that

1:41:19

was really fascinating.

1:41:22

And

1:41:23

it's like sometimes you watch things happen,

1:41:25

and then you go, huh, huh.

1:41:27

I'm not

1:41:29

giving you too much of the secret, but

1:41:31

Travis had a

1:41:33

medical procedure done. We'll never

1:41:35

know, because he never shared what it was,

1:41:37

but it just showed him in a hospital in a gown,

1:41:39

and he took a picture, and

1:41:40

I was looking, and I was so fascinated. I

1:41:43

went through, I combed through all his

1:41:45

things. You sure maybe he just was at the doctor?

1:41:47

No, it was a medical procedure. It was a medical

1:41:49

procedure. And the only reason I know this is that

1:41:52

it was like, maybe it was like two or three pictures of him at the

1:41:54

doctor. Whatever it was, I combed through

1:41:56

all his pictures, and halfway through combing,

1:41:59

two years back.

1:41:59

these fucking things, I went,

1:42:03

this will be a great way

1:42:06

to announce a tour.

1:42:08

For whatever it is, when someone goes to the hospital,

1:42:12

your empathy kicks in and you go,

1:42:15

I, and by the way, shout out to Young Taco,

1:42:17

I owe him this. So then

1:42:19

I had to do Red Rocks. I did Red Rocks after we got

1:42:21

done filming. And I knew I had to get

1:42:23

surgery because I ruptured my

1:42:25

thing. And I went, shout out to Young Taco,

1:42:27

I'm gonna do a read going into the surgery.

1:42:29

I'm gonna go do a read going into surgery.

1:42:32

I'm going into surgery.

1:42:34

I got, if there's one thing I can say right now,

1:42:37

because a surgery picture gets a lot of things and

1:42:39

I sold out Red Rocks because of Young Taco. But

1:42:41

Jimmy, can I tell you like,

1:42:44

what is so

1:42:46

fascinating to me?

1:42:49

And maybe this

1:42:51

is, I don't know what this is, but it keeps coming

1:42:53

back to me. Is your mom's

1:42:55

a speech pathologist, right? No,

1:42:58

she's an audiologist. Audiologist, audiologist.

1:43:01

And your dad worked at LAX, right? Yeah.

1:43:03

And that kid, and you have a brother,

1:43:06

but that kid does

1:43:10

these crazy fucking things. Like

1:43:12

my dad's, my dad, I

1:43:14

would dare I say, I

1:43:17

came from privilege, only because anyone

1:43:19

that looked from the outside in would think that, I don't

1:43:21

think totally, but my dad was a lawyer for the Church

1:43:23

of Scientology at one point. Wow. And

1:43:26

so, and my mom was a teacher, but

1:43:29

like I went to private school growing up,

1:43:33

my dad will say stuff like, I can't believe this is happening

1:43:35

to you.

1:43:36

And then, and because of the way my dad

1:43:39

sees me, I am forced to go, I can't

1:43:41

believe this is happening to me. Knowing who

1:43:43

you are and where you grew up and

1:43:45

where you came from, these adventures

1:43:47

you have in life,

1:43:49

I get

1:43:51

defensive sometimes, because I wanna

1:43:53

go, I wanna put in the comments, every

1:43:55

time I wanna go, do you know he's a regular person?

1:43:58

Cause that's the thing that you,

1:43:59

that you are just a regular person.

1:44:03

Like you're a very talented regular person, but

1:44:06

you're not like, you're not a

1:44:08

fucking Kendall Jenner, but you

1:44:11

end up running in circles with Kendall Jenner. And

1:44:13

then I go, what the fuck? Like

1:44:16

that's insane to me. Does that make sense?

1:44:20

Yeah, I mean, I think you mean regular person in the

1:44:22

sense that like, I am- You didn't grow up at country

1:44:24

clubs. Oh yeah. You didn't grow

1:44:27

up getting a Ferrari. You didn't get a Mercedes

1:44:29

for your 16th birthday. Right, right. You

1:44:31

didn't- No, I got an 88 Honda Prelude, which is

1:44:34

in hindsight,

1:44:35

I wish I had just fucking owned it, but

1:44:38

at the time I was like super embarrassed

1:44:40

because like

1:44:41

everyone had cooler cars than me. And I had just like

1:44:44

piece of shit 88 Honda Prelude. That was like

1:44:46

a stick ship.

1:44:47

And I looked back at photos and I'm like, dude, you should have

1:44:49

just fucking owned it. That car is sick.

1:44:52

Like it wasn't,

1:44:53

but like in the way that like an old car-

1:44:56

88 Honda Prelude. Honda had a fucking run where

1:44:59

they were making really cool cars.

1:45:01

Like the Prelude was a legit cool

1:45:03

fucking car. The Prelude, it's gonna, and now

1:45:06

I can look at it and be like,

1:45:07

that's cool. But at the time I was like so

1:45:09

self-conscious about the Honda Prelude. But

1:45:11

yeah, I mean, I think like, yeah,

1:45:14

it is when you hang out with your parents that you start,

1:45:16

yeah, dude, it was a white one.

1:45:19

It was just, that was a sick fucking car. It was, I

1:45:21

mean, it wasn't what you wanted to be

1:45:23

whipping in high school, that thing.

1:45:25

No, my buddy had a 91 Honda Prelude

1:45:28

and it was a fucking race car,

1:45:30

I thought. Well, your buddy had a 91

1:45:34

but you're 19 years older than me. Oh

1:45:36

shit, oh you're right. Oh wait, hold on, hold

1:45:38

on, hold on. Oh wait, you had an 88? Oh

1:45:41

my, I was like, Jimmy, that was a cool car when you were

1:45:43

in high school. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

1:45:45

no. You were like, you're really cool, I was

1:45:47

like, I was like, Jimmy, I was like, Jesus, you're lucky.

1:45:50

Yeah, no, I'm talking about 2007. Oh fuck,

1:45:52

oh fuck, oh that's right.

1:45:56

He

1:46:00

didn't know he had a... He had a 91 in 91. He

1:46:02

had a 91 in 91. He really got the 88 in OA. But that's the

1:46:04

thing I can't get away

1:46:07

from is like, I think I'm a pretty regular

1:46:09

dude,

1:46:17

but

1:46:20

I think it's because I found success late in life. So

1:46:22

I got to be regular by force

1:46:25

of nature, by like

1:46:26

having kids and being broke

1:46:29

and going to schools

1:46:31

where you watch parents be that were successful.

1:46:34

And like, I always looked at those parents that were

1:46:36

successful, like Billy Crudup,

1:46:38

is our kids are the same age, our oldest are the same

1:46:40

age. And we went to preschool together.

1:46:43

He was married to Elizabeth Masterson

1:46:46

or something, someone like famous, Mary

1:46:48

Louise Parker. He was married

1:46:50

to Mary Louise Parker. And I think

1:46:53

he was dating Claire Danes at the time. That

1:46:55

was...

1:46:57

I don't know. There's three

1:46:59

different names that came in there. You

1:47:01

know who any of them are? Yeah, I know Claire Danes. She

1:47:04

was just on my flight a couple of days ago, actually. No

1:47:06

way. How's she looking? Good.

1:47:10

Yeah. Claire Danes, my so-called

1:47:12

life is a fucking...

1:47:14

Because today I was trying to... I'm doing a

1:47:17

podcast called Drink Champs. You were listening

1:47:19

to them? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Fuckin' awesome.

1:47:22

Like,

1:47:22

dude sitting around a table with

1:47:24

alcohol on it. Yeah, yeah. Do you get fucked

1:47:26

up on that? Oh, I will.

1:47:28

I know. I'm thinking about fucking taking an Adderall

1:47:30

before. But like, do people typically? Yeah, oh

1:47:32

yeah. DMX, fucking Jadakiss. But

1:47:35

you said you didn't take an Adderall before? I was thinking.

1:47:37

Everyone's on Adderall. Are they? I found

1:47:39

out everyone's on Adderall.

1:47:41

I found out everyone's on fucking Adderall. I don't know if you

1:47:43

need Adderall. I don't think, but I

1:47:45

just want to make sure I... I think you got a natural... Yeah,

1:47:48

but...

1:47:49

So, but I was... I'm trying to...

1:47:52

So today I was trying to... I

1:47:54

was trying to...

1:47:57

I was up. I woke up at one in the morning

1:47:59

and stayed up until five.

1:47:59

I was trying to use the time wisely in

1:48:02

a creative manner. And so I was trying

1:48:04

to chronologically

1:48:09

tell my story of hip hop to myself.

1:48:12

So like what was the first hip hop album

1:48:15

I bought? And then what

1:48:17

were the

1:48:20

big earmark moments in hip hop for

1:48:22

me? Like, and then

1:48:24

how did I get to Outcast?

1:48:28

How did I get to

1:48:29

DMX? Like it's really an, you

1:48:31

know,

1:48:32

if you use music to tell the story of your life,

1:48:34

it really is a fun, I was having fun doing

1:48:36

it, even though I should have been sleeping,

1:48:39

is like Jada Kiss

1:48:41

and The Locks and Dip Set

1:48:45

that was introduced to me in

1:48:47

the coolest way you could get introduced.

1:48:50

Growing up in the South,

1:48:51

everything was car music. Everything you

1:48:53

listened to was in your car. And

1:48:56

I didn't have a car in New York, everything was headset music.

1:48:59

So,

1:49:00

but one of the coolest things was on

1:49:02

a Sunday in New York,

1:49:04

when it was a beautiful, when spring was happening,

1:49:07

that music was all being played on this show called

1:49:10

The Box.

1:49:11

And you'd see it in your house, and

1:49:13

then you'd hear it in the streets when people

1:49:15

were driving around New York, like having a day,

1:49:17

like in their convertible, driving around,

1:49:19

and you'd

1:49:20

just be like, five hot black chicks listening

1:49:22

to Cameron. But

1:49:25

you'd hear it, and you'd hear it once,

1:49:28

and then it was the song go around at the time,

1:49:30

and you'd hear it again. And then you'd be like, what the

1:49:32

fuck is that song?

1:49:34

And you'd have to figure out what that song was and

1:49:36

then go get it in a CD player that you listen to

1:49:38

headsets. And then that's how you discover

1:49:40

music in New York. It was really cool when I was thinking

1:49:42

of that. And the reason I was saying this is that when I first

1:49:45

moved to New York, I met a dude, I didn't have a place

1:49:47

to stay.

1:49:49

And so

1:49:50

I would get weed and

1:49:52

I'd meet dudes at bars, and then I'd say,

1:49:54

hey, you wanna get high?

1:49:56

And they'd be like, yeah. And I'd be like, well, my roommate's a dick. Why

1:49:58

don't we go to your place and get high? And then we'd get high.

1:49:59

pass on the couch. So like the

1:50:02

second dude I met, maybe third dude I met,

1:50:04

was I'm sorry that I can't remember his name,

1:50:07

but he lived with a guy named John Beamer.

1:50:10

And I grew up with John Beamer.

1:50:13

I grew up with John

1:50:15

Beamer, went to high school together.

1:50:16

And I went to this guy's house, I wish he remember his

1:50:19

name, I went to his house, we smoked weed, I

1:50:21

fell asleep on his couch, and he's like, eh, I just passed out

1:50:23

here, I'll wake you up in the morning.

1:50:25

I fell asleep on his couch, and John Beamer woke me up the

1:50:27

next day and was like, what the fuck are you doing here?

1:50:29

And I was like, Beamer? And I

1:50:31

didn't know that it was his roommate. And I was like, shut

1:50:33

the fuck up. I go, is this your apartment?

1:50:35

He's like, yeah, I go into work. What are you doing? I said, I

1:50:37

moved to New York.

1:50:38

And he's like, oh my God. He's like, well,

1:50:40

let's hang out, let's go do something.

1:50:42

And then his roommate woke up, and he's like, yeah, I don't have to

1:50:44

work today, you wanna hang out? And I was like, yeah. And

1:50:46

he's like, wanna smoke weed and watch my so-called life?

1:50:49

I was like, what's that? And he's like, it's so good.

1:50:51

So me and this dude that I never met,

1:50:54

got high and ordered beers and

1:50:56

just drank and got high and watched my so-called life.

1:51:00

Binge watched it.

1:51:01

And I'm talking like, I was a meathead frat boy,

1:51:04

and I was like smitten. I was

1:51:06

like, this is the coolest story. Wait,

1:51:08

this was all

1:51:10

coming full circle back to Claire Danes?

1:51:13

Claire Danes was in my so-called life. Right. I

1:51:21

was like, where the fuck are you going

1:51:23

with this? Like, I was like, what

1:51:25

is he gonna tie this back to? It

1:51:28

was just someone's name that I mentioned to

1:51:30

fit Claire Danes. Claire Danes, I got a special

1:51:32

place in my heart for Claire Danes for the

1:51:34

rest of my life. But

1:51:36

when I think of Claire Danes, I think of that first, it

1:51:39

was like the first time you were comfortable in an apartment

1:51:41

where you're like, and then I moved into that apartment. I lived

1:51:43

with that dude.

1:51:44

I lived there. And this is a random dude you met at a bar? Yeah,

1:51:47

that's

1:51:47

just kind of bar. He's a music producer. I would love

1:51:49

to know what he's doing now. Hit

1:51:51

him up. I would love to know what he's doing now.

1:51:54

No, I'm sure John Beamer's

1:51:56

a doctor now, I think. John Beamer

1:51:58

did stand up.

1:51:59

I stayed with John Beamer and I said,

1:52:02

and I said, I moved here to do stand up. He goes, I'm doing stand

1:52:04

up. John Beamer was funny as fucking shit

1:52:07

in high school, but he wasn't the funniest dude in the

1:52:09

room. He was the funniest dude in the room that

1:52:11

you didn't know was the funniest dude in the room. Those

1:52:13

are the funniest dudes. He was the

1:52:15

funniest dude. The double

1:52:17

take guys were like,

1:52:19

oh, where the fuck did that come from? You should

1:52:21

talk more. Yeah,

1:52:22

and so John Beamer said,

1:52:24

let me set you up

1:52:26

with the open mic I'm doing.

1:52:28

So I'm by the way, I just moved to New York. I've

1:52:30

been there four days.

1:52:33

He sets me up with the open mic that is the

1:52:35

reason, it is the jumping off

1:52:37

point for everything. The guy that booked that

1:52:39

open mic that night booked me in his sitcom.

1:52:42

It was the first pilot I ever did. I mean, this is like,

1:52:44

your

1:52:46

point of entry into a business, this was

1:52:49

perfect for me. It was everything.

1:52:51

And John Beamer and I signed up for Monday night

1:52:53

open mic with David J Nash.

1:52:56

And I, John's like,

1:52:58

what are you gonna talk about on stage? I go, I don't know, I'll figure it out when

1:53:00

I get on stage.

1:53:01

He was like, I think you should write it. And I was like, ah,

1:53:03

yeah, but I don't know how to write a joke. I know

1:53:05

that if I'm on stage, I'm funny.

1:53:07

And he was like, I would definitely

1:53:10

write it. And he goes, I've written mine. I've rehearsed

1:53:12

it. It's exactly

1:53:14

seven minutes. You should definitely do

1:53:16

that. And I was like, and I started panicking. John

1:53:18

Beamer got on stage and he jumped up and he goes,

1:53:21

hey.

1:53:27

I've completely forgotten what I'm supposed to say.

1:53:30

And the place erupted and he jumped

1:53:32

off stage. And

1:53:34

then everyone went crazy. And then he jumped back on stage

1:53:36

and he goes, has anyone seen the TV show

1:53:38

friends? Hey.

1:53:44

All right. And he jumped off stage and he totally

1:53:46

froze

1:53:47

and he quit stand up and he moved out of

1:53:49

New York the next week. And that's where

1:53:51

I got that apartment. And David J Nash

1:53:53

got on stage and he goes, I think we just saw the quickest

1:53:56

career and show business in our lives. And

1:53:59

John. And then John Beamer sat next to me and my buddy

1:54:02

Eddie,

1:54:02

and my buddy Eddie goes,

1:54:04

hey, don't worry about it, everyone has bad

1:54:07

sets. And John goes, that was the

1:54:09

worst set anyone's ever had in the history

1:54:11

of comedy. And he goes, Eddie

1:54:13

says to John, John, if there's

1:54:16

an upside, it can't get worse. And John

1:54:18

looks at Eddie and goes, it's only

1:54:20

gonna get worse.

1:54:21

And then he moved out of New York and I

1:54:23

got his apartment.

1:54:25

And now he's a doctor.

1:54:28

He lives in Chicago. He's happily married. Sounds

1:54:30

like it got better. It did get better. It did get

1:54:32

better. He was a journalist. I think he was a medical journalist

1:54:34

for a while. But to this day, funniest

1:54:36

dude in the room.

1:54:37

He was the funniest dude in the room. He said

1:54:39

to me one time in high school

1:54:42

on the DL,

1:54:43

someone's, and this has stuck

1:54:45

with me because I used this in one of my hours.

1:54:48

There was, we used to say back in the day, we're gonna party hardy.

1:54:51

And he goes, I don't trust

1:54:53

anyone who uses party as a verb, or

1:54:56

uses hardy as an adverb, or whatever the

1:54:59

right thing was to say. And

1:55:01

I looked at him and I just laughed. It was like

1:55:03

one of those word things. And I was like, oh, I'll go to

1:55:05

John.

1:55:07

Well, my next question was

1:55:09

about to be, before we start talking about it, it was

1:55:12

like, is there anyone named John Beamer

1:55:14

who's had a major impact on your life? So I'm glad.

1:55:17

I'm glad you walked me through

1:55:19

that whole thing. Cause

1:55:22

I was like, when I showed up here today,

1:55:25

I was like, fuck, I wonder if there's anyone with

1:55:27

the last name Beamer. So you haven't

1:55:29

planned out what you're gonna, like you don't

1:55:31

plan out conversations and you meet people?

1:55:35

What do you mean? Like when I met, I got really

1:55:37

nervous when I was meeting Snoop

1:55:39

and I told

1:55:41

Tommy. Oh, wait, are we shirkling back to the Will

1:55:43

Ferrell? Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell. No,

1:55:46

well, I met at Sundance, he

1:55:48

was the producer of the movie I did called

1:55:51

Theater Camp. The one that just came out. Yeah, well,

1:55:53

it's coming out July 14th.

1:55:56

Really? In theaters, yeah. How many fucking

1:55:58

movies do you have coming out?

1:56:00

No handful Got

1:56:02

strays. They got this one and then theater

1:56:04

camp and then I'm shooting the

1:56:06

Will Ferrell one and then another one in July, which I'll

1:56:09

be talking about soon Really but I

1:56:11

at Sundance will Ferrell was a producer on

1:56:13

that movie. That's fucking awesome

1:56:16

So I wouldn't be able to like I feel

1:56:18

like if I practice any kind of conversation leading

1:56:20

up to talking to anyone It would just

1:56:22

come off like forced. I'd be like thinking

1:56:24

like how do I get to how do I get

1:56:26

to the thing? It's about you

1:56:28

know, I was nervous when I met Snoop I

1:56:31

Told Tom I was like do you like as I never I

1:56:33

never met like a hero celebrity Like

1:56:36

hero celebrities are a little different than just like a celebrity.

1:56:38

Yeah, like that's like Will Ferrell for me Yeah, it's

1:56:41

like a hero celebrity So there's certain things like

1:56:44

and that's why I think I practiced the thing with Adam Sandler

1:56:46

and I went so wrong So

1:56:48

wrong

1:56:49

that I was like, I'm not I told Tom I was like I'm not good at this

1:56:51

Like I'm not good and Tom's really good at meeting celebrities. I

1:56:53

don't know. He just doesn't care Yeah,

1:56:56

like he just is like

1:56:58

I've been you know, I've been trying to get better at I've

1:57:00

been trying to get better when I really like

1:57:02

Respect and like look up to people. Yeah

1:57:05

I've been trying to get better at just like telling them because

1:57:07

there's been so many occasions where I've been somewhere

1:57:09

and someone has like come with me and said like a really nice

1:57:12

thing that I was like,

1:57:13

oh like I felt like Like

1:57:16

when someone appreciates your work the way that you

1:57:19

would like people to appreciate it Someone comes up to

1:57:21

you and says that like just really quickly

1:57:23

and politely and they just say like hey man

1:57:26

Like I've been watching you since I was a little kid I really

1:57:28

appreciate this this and this and you just like wow

1:57:30

that was fucking that was really nice Yeah and

1:57:32

it's made me I kind of like realized after like

1:57:35

I was like a couple years ago and I was like I

1:57:37

Should do that more I've done it to

1:57:39

I've been there lucky enough to do it to a couple people recently

1:57:42

I did it to Conor McGregor. So Conor McGregor

1:57:44

was like

1:57:45

You know, it's like people Same

1:57:48

with Claire Danes. I'll wait like running declared a and someone

1:57:50

fucking light her up You know what you said to me actually

1:57:52

when we were shooting the movie that stuck with me was that like

1:57:54

you love being a fan

1:57:56

of things because it makes you

1:57:58

feel like

1:58:01

I forget how you said it, but you were talking

1:58:03

about the community of being a

1:58:05

fan. Like, you were like when, cause

1:58:08

then you know you like the same thing. Yeah.

1:58:11

I forget how you said it. It's

1:58:13

the coolest thing,

1:58:14

the coolest thing, especially when you have little

1:58:17

kids and you watch them become fans of things,

1:58:20

and then you watch them find their

1:58:22

friends that have similar interests. It's

1:58:24

a really vulnerable place to be, but

1:58:28

it's really fun. Like I'm

1:58:31

certain I said to you,

1:58:33

it's fun, like when we found you,

1:58:36

like when we found you, it was fun,

1:58:39

cause I was like, oh, and then I start watching

1:58:41

you and other stuff, and then, you know, Leanne was obsessed

1:58:43

with fucking, obsessed

1:58:45

with... Guest

1:58:48

book? No, no, the fucking... Vandal?

1:58:51

No, keep going. Real bros,

1:58:53

you see me, Dolly? She was

1:58:55

obsessed with it. I mean, she watched all of them. She watched

1:58:57

all of them,

1:58:58

but it was fun to become a fan of someone's, cause then

1:59:00

when they succeed, you feel like you succeed.

1:59:02

You feel like you picked the right one. Right, right, that's what you said, yeah.

1:59:05

And I don't, I mean, that's where I kind of

1:59:07

gravitate

1:59:13

is to the positive side of loving shit,

1:59:15

trying to love shit. So like when you name all those

1:59:17

people on Coachella, I go, oh, I wanna

1:59:20

listen to them. I wanna become a fan.

1:59:22

It's fun to discover stuff. And

1:59:25

you also adversely find,

1:59:27

like I watched, my daughter, Isla was really into

1:59:29

anime and she shared that with some people and they

1:59:31

made fun of her. And then you watched her go into

1:59:34

a

1:59:34

little bit of a cave of like, well, I guess you don't tell people

1:59:36

what you like. And then you realize how shitty

1:59:38

it is

1:59:39

when you watch people, you

1:59:41

know,

1:59:42

just shit on stuff just to fucking shit on

1:59:44

it cause they don't get it or they don't care. And you're

1:59:46

like, oh, fuck man.

1:59:48

I, when I met Connor, like

1:59:51

Connor had a real moment in

1:59:55

my life when I was doing something I didn't wanna be

1:59:57

doing. I was working for Travel Channel. I was

1:59:59

very,

1:59:59

I was grateful for the job, but I did not want to be riding

2:00:02

roller coasters. I just

2:00:04

thought I was better than that. I thought I had

2:00:06

more to offer than ha!

2:00:08

Sadly,

2:00:11

if you watch this movie, not much better. But

2:00:13

I got to, when he walked up,

2:00:16

I

2:00:19

didn't know what, I didn't practice

2:00:21

it. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know he was gonna be walking up to me.

2:00:23

I thought I was meeting the general manager of the restaurant.

2:00:26

I didn't know I was meeting him.

2:00:29

And I was very, and I said, and

2:00:32

I've said this to someone the other day. I can't remember

2:00:34

who I talked to. I met a celebrity like

2:00:36

two days ago in Australia. Who

2:00:39

did I meet in Australia? I just did this again. Oh,

2:00:43

no, no, no, no. I met all my favorite fucking humans.

2:00:46

I went to the live golf tournament,

2:00:49

and I met Greg Norman. And I was

2:00:51

like, it's

2:00:53

hard to express to someone how much time

2:00:56

you've spent

2:00:58

enjoying them. And like really

2:01:00

enjoying them. And I said it, well, I said it's a style

2:01:02

vendor, 100%.

2:01:04

But

2:01:05

I said it to Connor. I said, you have no idea

2:01:07

how

2:01:08

many nights he was the thing I looked

2:01:10

forward to.

2:01:11

You're on the road, you're in fucking Sandusky,

2:01:13

Ohio, and you know that Buffalo Wild Wings is playing the

2:01:16

McGregor fucking Jose Aldo fight or whatever. And so

2:01:18

you're like, guys,

2:01:19

fuck work. We got

2:01:21

something to do tonight. Like we got something to do. My

2:01:24

day of work is now eventized by

2:01:26

this one thing. And I can

2:01:28

get through this work, because all we're talking

2:01:31

about is what we're doing tonight. So work's done.

2:01:33

Thank you for this great day, Connor, that all

2:01:36

the fucking preparation you put in to this fight,

2:01:38

all the nerves that must have gone in, all the

2:01:41

weight you had to cut, all the training camp, all

2:01:43

the hard work to get here, all the negotiations,

2:01:46

you gave me one day,

2:01:48

one Thursday, one Friday night, one Saturday,

2:01:51

where I had to ride roller coasters all day and I didn't

2:01:53

want to do it, but I knew that at the end of the day,

2:01:55

I got to do the Buffalo Wild Wings challenge.

2:01:59

Eat fucking and curly fries, drink cold

2:02:01

beer and watch you fight. Like it's like, it's

2:02:03

fun for that. And like Greg Norman, I've met Greg Norman.

2:02:07

I couldn't express to him enough. I wish

2:02:09

I had practiced it a little bit because it came

2:02:11

out really quick.

2:02:13

And I sometimes I say the wrong things, but I was like,

2:02:15

my dad and I have talked about Greg Norman so

2:02:18

fucking much. We have watched Greg Norman

2:02:20

play golf so much. My dad and I connect with

2:02:22

watching people play golf. Then I go, it's

2:02:24

nice to take a moment and say, dude,

2:02:26

just, you've been an inspiration. You've been like,

2:02:28

thank you. I really enjoyed you. Like

2:02:31

Seth Rogen, I don't know if I'll ever meet him

2:02:33

and he's younger than me, so it's a little creepy, but

2:02:36

that guy, him doing

2:02:38

what he's done has brought me so

2:02:40

much joy just on like, I got

2:02:42

to do it with Nick Swartzin. You know Nick Swartzin? Yeah, of course.

2:02:45

Yeah, I got to do it. Grown Ups 2, baby. Dude,

2:02:48

he wrote a movie called Malibu's Most

2:02:50

Wanted. Oh, dude, I actually recently

2:02:52

watched that. I re, I did a rewatch.

2:02:55

I mean, that was,

2:02:58

you know, I

2:03:00

was

2:03:00

growing up in LA and you

2:03:03

know, like you

2:03:05

were like, this is fucking

2:03:07

hilarious. Like that was, when I was

2:03:09

a kid, I was like, I thought that movie was

2:03:12

so fucking funny. It's so funny.

2:03:15

It wasn't as funny when

2:03:17

I watched it recently as it was when I was 12, but

2:03:20

it was still pretty funny. I saw it at 27,

2:03:22

28, whenever it was. And

2:03:26

I

2:03:26

got the opportunity, which was the first time

2:03:28

this ever happened to me,

2:03:30

where I was sitting in a hotel room in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

2:03:32

It was more like a motel room and I was

2:03:35

depressed. I had not made it on Last Comic Standing.

2:03:37

I did not, I was doing stand up. I wasn't

2:03:39

finding like humor in it because I feel like I

2:03:41

was a failure so I didn't make it on Last Comic.

2:03:44

And that movie came

2:03:46

on and it pulled me out of my little

2:03:48

fucking head

2:03:49

and I giggled for like fucking two hours.

2:03:51

And I called Nick and I was like, dude, I

2:03:54

don't know what your intent was when you wrote

2:03:56

this movie,

2:03:57

but you need to know you succeeded because

2:03:59

I fucking...

2:03:59

and laughed my dick off. And that's the cool

2:04:02

thing is like,

2:04:04

I'm sure Seth Rogen's main goal wasn't

2:04:06

to like

2:04:07

help a dude on the road.

2:04:10

Fucking- No, it was to make people laugh but when they

2:04:12

gave you the context and why it was meaningful,

2:04:17

it's just nice. It's a nice,

2:04:20

like I met some dude that literally

2:04:22

did my favorite Coachella show I've ever

2:04:24

seen. Who? It's this band

2:04:27

called Odessa and they did this performance

2:04:29

at Coachella like a few years ago with this drone light

2:04:31

show and it was just like,

2:04:33

and like my friend was like, he's in Odessa.

2:04:36

And I was like, dude, I just wanna tell you like

2:04:38

your show and whenever like whatever that

2:04:40

was, I referenced that all

2:04:42

the time as like a feeling that

2:04:44

I'm always trying to replicate when you're

2:04:46

at a show and all you can do is just stand

2:04:48

there like this and just soak it in.

2:04:51

And thank you.

2:04:53

And he's like, oh dude, fuck yeah. That's

2:04:55

the best. And I was just like, I felt so good to be

2:04:58

able to tell that to him. Like the guy

2:05:00

that brought you, the people that bring you so much joy

2:05:02

to be able to tell you, to tell them,

2:05:05

thank you for that. And have them receive it. That's the

2:05:07

thing that like, that sadly

2:05:10

none of these, very few of the

2:05:12

people will ever hear this.

2:05:14

Hopefully this will get to Seth Rogen

2:05:15

and he'll hear this. That's my dream

2:05:18

is this gets Seth Rogen because he needs

2:05:20

to understand and I'm sure he does,

2:05:22

but like don't trivialize

2:05:25

those moments. Those moments may bother you in a

2:05:27

taco shop, but allow

2:05:29

those people that you've given joy

2:05:31

to, allow them to celebrate you because

2:05:34

that is the,

2:05:36

that is like I got to do it with Jeff Tweedy and I didn't

2:05:38

wanna do it because I was nervous. I know Jeff Tweedy

2:05:40

is, he's from a band called Wilco that you

2:05:43

definitely probably have never heard of. No, I haven't.

2:05:45

And so, and

2:05:50

so I went to his show at Red Rocks the

2:05:52

night after I did Red Rocks with him.

2:05:54

I did it with Jimmy Buffett. I did it with Jimmy Buffett

2:05:57

the year before.

2:05:59

And I mean,

2:06:02

Jimmy Buffett, both of them didn't let me down,

2:06:04

but I was nervous with Jeff Tweedy because I know he's an artist.

2:06:07

So like sometimes artists don't want the praise,

2:06:09

you know? Yeah, they're very deflecting. Well,

2:06:11

yeah, I mean, but it's not about like how they

2:06:14

receive it. It's more just just being able to

2:06:16

say it and then just get out of there. I've

2:06:18

had I've had the worst of

2:06:20

I was in Atlantic City and a fucking

2:06:22

mobster guy was like,

2:06:25

hey, my girl is going to come over here to take

2:06:27

your shirt off. And

2:06:29

I was like, oh, I think I'm going to keep it on. He goes, no, you're not.

2:06:31

You're going to keep taking it off. That's your fucking thing.

2:06:33

Take the fucking shirt off, you boy. And

2:06:35

I was like, hey, man, you're not making me feel like a human

2:06:37

right now.

2:06:38

Yeah. And he was like, I don't give a fuck.

2:06:40

I pay money to your fucking show. My girl's coming over.

2:06:43

You take your fucking shirt off. You understand me?

2:06:45

And now I'm like, oh, wow, this this doesn't feel good.

2:06:47

Yeah. Yeah. This feels like.

2:06:51

Yeah, next thing you know, you're fighting your fans. Crazy.

2:06:54

What are you going to say? Dresses a bumblebee.

2:06:56

So we're going to come back and do my podcast.

2:06:59

I'm not done talking to you, but we should wrap it up. Is

2:07:01

this not your podcast? We're just hanging out

2:07:04

with microphones.

2:07:05

What the fuck have we been doing this all

2:07:07

the time? No, when are you going to come back? I want to I want you to do it

2:07:09

2:07:16

2:07:18

2:07:20

2:07:23

2:07:24

I'm so glad to have you here, Jimmy. Where are
