0:44
a work call. Andy walks in, I'm vaping on the
0:46
kitchen floor. How great is it? I heard him go,
0:49
Are you fucking serious? And I ran
0:51
into our bedroom and slammed the door.
0:53
I didn't even know what to do. I was like caught. Sweet,
0:56
how hard was it? Quitting. Quitting nicotine.
0:59
I've quit a lot. Xanax
1:02
was tough to quit. How many different things do you
1:04
have? Well, these are
1:07
Oxys. No. I
1:11
would love to get them as a sponsor. It's a company called Happy Head.
1:14
And I've been on
1:16
Rogaine since I was 22 years old.
1:21
And I just saw a dude with more hair that didn't
1:23
have hair. And I said, what's up? And he goes, try
1:25
Happy Head. I think it is,
1:27
I can't read, but it's
1:29
like, I think it's a combo. You don't
1:32
think he got transplants though? No, dude,
1:34
transplants fucking work. They really work. They, your husband
1:36
got them. Andy got them. His hair looks great.
1:38
I know. Well, he's going to get another one.
1:40
Could you love him bald? No.
1:44
Can I tell you, can I tell you, Leah? Not as
1:46
much. I'll say not as much. Tom
1:51
is a more attractive person without hair, Sagura.
1:53
Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's certain guys that it works for.
1:55
But if you have a thin face, you can't be
1:57
bald. And then you do, they do this thing.
1:59
Bald guys. do this thing. They think they're
2:01
fooling us or they decide to be the glasses
2:03
guy. Right. Yes.
2:07
Don't ever make me the glasses guy. If I go bald, I'm
2:09
just going fucking bald. They
2:12
do do that. You know, they're not even
2:14
prescription. They're just transition lenses.
2:16
Really? So that he can have fun. They're
2:18
not even prescription. Tom is
2:21
such a fucking house of cards.
2:23
You and Tom are fucking sisters.
2:26
I just need to know. You and Tom, you talk about Tom
2:28
the way I talk about my sister. I
2:31
never had a brother. She thinks she's fucking fooling
2:33
people with those glasses. She is not. Okay.
2:36
Can I just say one thing? She's not
2:38
fooling anybody. He puts lips in his shoes.
2:41
Shut up. Because no,
2:43
we did his first sober October. Ari wanted
2:45
to measure him. Tom's five 10. Yeah. No
2:48
one wants to be five 10. I don't understand why
2:50
five 10 is such a fucking curse. I get it.
2:52
I'm six one. So I know what it feels like
2:54
to be a giant. Yeah. But like when you hang
2:56
out with the dude who's six five. A giant and
2:58
a winner. A giant and a winner. My body is
3:00
so much better than his. I'm not even I'm not
3:02
even joking. So my body, you
3:05
just had a baby. You know. Yeah. It did.
3:08
How does your body rebounding? Incredibly.
3:11
We got great. Yeah. Well,
3:13
I think you and I are both. I'm
3:15
mostly muscle. Like I put on muscle really,
3:18
really fast. And but I also retain
3:20
fluid like a waterlogged pig. Wow.
3:23
It's crazy. I feel like I'm
3:25
talking to a mirror. Fully
3:27
loaded. My ankles were so bloated. I you
3:30
and I had the same angle. I was in my third trimester by the end of
3:32
that. I
3:37
was 275 pounds. I
3:39
was 170. Are you serious? I
3:41
swear to God. You were 170. I was
3:43
170 pounds when I fucking where's
3:46
my fucking phone? Can I grab my phone? I waited
3:48
for a year. Yeah. I
3:50
mean, I think you're not even going to get the picture. That is the
3:52
most horrifying thing I've ever seen of myself.
3:55
What do you see? It's my
3:57
knees had cellulite burp. Your knees? My
3:59
knees. I didn't even know
4:01
that was like allowed to happen. When you bent,
4:03
could you feel the tightness of the
4:05
skin? Yes. I've been there. Right
4:09
now, I can't believe that my ankles were ever
4:11
swollen. When we did the beer Olympics, me and
4:13
Shane Gilles did the beer Olympics, I
4:15
would lay down and put my feet on the wall
4:17
because they were so filled with fluid. Yeah.
4:21
Yeah. And I think that's really
4:23
unhealthy. Yeah, it's really bad. It's
4:27
really bad. It's really bad.
4:29
I'm going to show you. This is so this
4:31
is a really horrifying picture. But
4:34
look at this. Oh my God. That's you.
4:37
This is me. Hold on. Let me
4:39
see this. I'm getting my glasses. Did you
4:41
think it was you? Oh
4:43
my God. No, you'll never find that on
4:46
the internet. Can I tell you and I'm sorry
4:48
that I'm saying this, but you know my wife, you know my
4:50
daughters. Yeah. I think you look
4:52
hot. That's insane. I'm really attracted to
4:54
pregnant women. That's not that.
4:56
When Leanne was pregnant. I've
4:58
seen Leanne pregnant. Leanne looked gorgeous
5:01
pregnant. I looked like
5:03
Bob's big boy. Knees
5:05
your knees. Did
5:07
you zoom in? You have double knees. You
5:09
zoom in. I have four knees. You
5:11
have double knees. It's crazy
5:13
for. I think you look hot. That's
5:16
insane. But you're don't lie to my face.
5:18
No, no, no, no. I Leanne knows I
5:20
was more attracted Leanne pregnant. I
5:23
think Andy was more attracted. But is because I was
5:25
weak. That's
5:28
what it was. He wanted to see me weak.
5:30
Yeah. Like he was like, Oh,
5:32
this is nice. She's very soft and needs me more.
5:34
I remember the first time we had sex. Leanne
5:36
was like, I guess
5:38
you can't say this anymore. But I said it
5:41
then it was 20 years ago when
5:43
she was pregnant with Georgia. We had sex. She
5:46
goes, you know, we have to do this different. I was like, you don't
5:48
think I fucked up fat chick. I
5:51
know what we're doing. Lay on your side. I'll get behind
5:53
you. Yeah. You're
5:55
not going to get on top of it. We know why you're not getting on top of it. Did he
5:57
get crazy? Like, was she crazy horny
5:59
during her pregnancy? No, oh no and
6:01
that's my first question. How soon from giving
6:03
birth did you have sex? We
6:06
literally just did like two weeks
6:09
ago. That's grounds for divorce. I
6:11
know. That's you
6:13
know I had a c-section
6:16
I wasn't like allowed. Oh yeah
6:18
well Leanne was just a pussy. All
6:21
she did was tear. Oh my
6:24
god. All she
6:26
did was tear. I mean like old
6:28
school like frontier birth. Yeah yeah yeah.
6:31
Yeah the old apogeeotomy. I was yeah
6:33
yeah I did a joke about that.
6:35
Did they did she ask him? I
6:37

6:39
said she she told them not to be a
6:41
feminist about it when they were like sewing up.
6:44
Oh. She goes don't
6:46
be a feminist about it. I said my
6:48
joke was he said apogeeotomy. I didn't know
6:51
what an apogeeotomy was. Yeah. I thought we
6:53
were ordering Italian food. Yeah. He's like oh
6:55

6:58
then he pulled out scissors and
7:00
I swear to god I swear to god
7:02
I thought he was gonna cut a lock
7:04
of George's hair. I
7:06
don't know why I just because they're scissors they're
7:08
real scissors. Aren't they like cartoon looking though? They're
7:10
the kind I mean this is my recollection but
7:12
they're the kind that are real long here and
7:14
then turn. Okay yeah. And so
7:17
uh and he pulled out a pair of scissors and
7:19
I thought he was gonna cut George's hair and he just went and
7:22
I said he turned her
7:25
taint into a tizant. Oh my god. And
7:27

9:10
feel like I hate being pregnant so
9:13
much and everybody that I've talked to
9:15
his like you forget about it the
9:17
second they're here. That. Is
9:19
a load of horse shit?
9:22
like? Unlike if you forgot about it the
9:24
second they got here. Your pregnancy was a
9:26
fucking breeze. Oh leans pregnancy with
9:28
Georgia. Or other
9:30
know Ilo is just a fucking
9:32
Alla was a fucking told me
9:34
everything I did fucked up our
9:36
family like everything from to her
9:39
just her presence, her presence still
9:41
as a painter arrests like even
9:43
like even like. You
9:45
you like it's Iran where you like
9:47
filming your family like running on the
9:49
beach that minutes the next shot his
9:51
Iowa. So. It's
9:54
getting fucking wiped out. Specific:
9:56
This was this. It's. the
9:59
child That made me laugh so hard.
10:01
She has made me so much money.
10:05
She has made me so much
10:07
money. I mean, that kid just
10:09
exists. And Russell
10:13
Howard is the one who
10:15
pointed it out. Because I
10:17
sometimes would feel guilty that everything was
10:19
about Isla. Because she was
10:21
such a different thing than
10:24
anyone. I mean, to this day, the
10:26
littlest thing she does is so different
10:29
than everyone. But I never
10:31
really picked up on it. It's funny that
10:33
Leanne and Georgia picked up on it. And
10:35
Georgia, Russell
10:37
Howard pointed this out, is by Jiminy Cricket. She's
10:39
the one who, when
10:44
Isla does something, Georgia's eyes to me. And it's
10:46
like when you talk about you and your sisters.
10:48
When you have like an inside joke with someone,
10:50
Georgia's eyes just like, are
10:53
you watching this? Dad,
10:55
this is the thing we fucking wait for. I
10:58
mean, but that fucking
11:00
kid. She's
11:02
so funny. I
11:05
was so funny. Yeah, she's
11:07
just different. Yeah. She's
11:09
just, she's,
11:12
yeah, I don't know what
11:14
to say. It's like, you hope you get that for
11:16
a kid, but then to deal with it is so
11:18
frustrating. Like I remember there was this little girl, I
11:20
won't say her name, only because, I
11:22
don't know, she's a woman now. But
11:25
she was so fucking funny when we were kids.
11:27
You remember those kids that were like, you'd go
11:29
to someone else's house and their youngest was just
11:31
a fucking wild card? Yes, my sister's like that.
11:34
Really? My sister Jackie will walk up
11:36
to me while I'm eating breakfast. I
11:38
remember, this was like back in the day when we were
11:40
all in the same house. She would walk up to me,
11:42
I'd be like eating cereal and she'd be like, hey, does
11:44
this mole look weird? And it would be her full
11:47
twat. I'd be
11:49
staring down the barrel of her vagina.
11:51
And she's pointing to a mole, but I'm not
11:54
looking at that. And now I'm like,
11:56
I can't even look at my fucking Cheerios. I'm
11:59
like, all I see is your. whole like I'm like this
12:01
is and she didn't think it was funny at all
12:03
she just thought it's like this
12:05
is like funny there's like this I need
12:07
to know if this mole is concerned how
12:09
many girls are in your family um it
12:11
was five five of us and my sister passed
12:13
away so there's four of us five
12:17
would be fucking fun six would
12:19
be five really not
12:21
no you have you ever seen the
12:23
housewives the real housewives wait every dinner
12:25
was like that really every dinner ended with
12:28
somebody screaming I hope you die like it
12:30
was it was really bad it was
12:32
like do not have that many kids it's
12:34
crazy is that why you just want to
12:36
have one I think partially yes that's
12:38
that's part of it yeah another reason
12:40
is like I don't know if I'm gonna be
12:43
able to afford it to have to I'm like
12:45
I just talking I'm scared to like have to
12:47
and then like what if something you make how much
12:49
money do you make do you mean
12:51
like I like I don't know I'm not really good
12:53
with money like I remember what I did make
12:55
people when I was on Travel Channel I was making
12:57
a very good living yeah I was really earning it
13:00
like I was really working for I've always felt
13:02
like I had to earn my money like I even
13:04
if when I make a lot of
13:06
money I'm still pouring more than any comic out
13:08
there like work for my work for my money
13:10
yeah it's so funny I watched the
13:15
cats Williams shit went down yeah yeah and I
13:17
was just curious how much money he makes yeah
13:20
he he makes a ton of
13:22
fucking money on the road yeah for the limited
13:24
amount of shows he does yeah he does maybe
13:26

13:51
was laughing so hard to at Netflix or
13:53
to be when he This
14:00

14:03
that interview He's been they just posted video of
14:05
him rubbing running a sub for 540 He
14:09
just as they just posted the video of him. He actually
14:11
ran a sub see here's the thing with I don't know
14:13
what that is I'm gonna have 40
14:16
40 our dash. Okay, the world record
14:18
is 4.2 seconds. He ran it in
14:20
like 4.4 seconds,
14:22
which is really fucking fast.
14:24
Yeah, which is crazy
14:26
fast Here's the thing.
14:28
I can't tell what the I It's
14:32
like with Brody or with Theo. You don't
14:34
know when they're joking or not sometimes Yeah,
14:36
which is fun. Yeah, just the most fun
14:38
about it Right is like I don't sometimes
14:40
the hotel story I can't tell if he's
14:42
being serious or not Yeah, and and and
14:45
that is you're stuck in the back going
14:47
like all right. Yeah, am I
14:49
part of the bit? Brody was
14:51
like that. I couldn't tell if Brody was fucking around or
14:53
not. Yeah, I Can't tell if
14:55
cats fucking around when he says these crazy
14:57
I honestly I was thinking about that and I was
15:00
like, I don't think it matters I
15:02
think if I start getting into that I'm not gonna enjoy this
15:04
as much as I'm enjoying it it was and
15:06
by the way, I I I
15:10
Can't cosign on any of his facts. I don't
15:12
know them. Yeah, right. I don't know them. Those
15:14
are his experiences Yeah, there's parallel thinking it's you
15:16
know, whatever. I don't know who are thieves or
15:19
not. Yeah, the Kevin Hart stuff. I Love
15:22
Kevin. I really do love Kevin. I think he's
15:24
I think he's so enjoyable as a person, right?
15:27
I'm bummed that they hate each other. I think
15:29
this lines up a great fucking buddy comedy Really
15:33
love to see a movie with Kevin and
15:35
Kevin Hart. Yeah, I know but
15:37
but the one thing What
15:40
was so funny if that's what came out of this
15:42
interview? He's a buddy comedy It would
15:44
be the biggest it would be the biggest movie and
15:46
you know, Kevin's big enough to
15:48
think past these emotions They've
15:51
been attacking Kevin his
15:53
whole career. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it
15:55
doesn't even make a dent for Kevin I think
15:57
he's like, you know, what's he's not worried about
15:59
it It's you can't right
16:01
it's but um, the one
16:03
thing I what was the I kept I there's
16:06
one thing that I go that
16:08
I was like I
16:10
fuck here's the thing what I what what I
16:12
enjoyed about the interview was just that it felt
16:14
like It felt
16:17
like old and new at this
16:19
like it's not my generation
16:21
of comics. So I was watching
16:23
it. No, not really You know what
16:25
I mean? Yeah, and so I was watching it and I
16:27
was like I can enjoy this because it's not about
16:29
us But you can just enjoy it I was
16:31
enjoying it until they were like until they were
16:34
like Rogan has the six friends that aren't funny
16:36
as fuck on that was like shit. Oh shit.
16:38
I texted the six people he's talking about I
16:42

Mark Norman, Tom Segura, Brian Callan
16:48
Which of us isn't in this at what
16:50
point is he it into the white guys? He
16:52
didn't that's not how it I mean That's not
16:54
the there's no uh, was
16:56
that like hour four? I don't there's no
16:59
Residual income on attacking white guys. Yeah,
17:01
so the the income is Just
17:04
going after black dudes like that's because it's like
17:07
fan base It
17:09
all comes down to the fan base. They all kind
17:11
of share the same Kevin's fan base is way broader
17:13
I think I don't know cats. I've watched all of
17:15
cat specials same. I love cat Williams.
17:18
He's so fucking funny He's so funny even
17:20
when he's being serious. I know I'm
17:23
like the just the way he even just
17:25
the way he says to be I
17:28
could listen to over and over when
17:30
he says to show excuse me, sir. Excuse me,
17:32
sir I love when he by
17:34
the way, I have a I have a list
17:37
of Private cat Williams stories that I treasure
17:39
I tell secrets all the time That I
17:41
treasure that were given to me why one
17:43
of his best friends. Yeah, because i'm friends
17:45
with one of his best friends I'm really
17:47
close with one of his best friends And
17:50
all I ever did was I won every cat
17:52
Williams story Yeah, and I will tell you
17:54
a lot of cat Williams stories ends with him
17:57
giving someone five thousand dollars cash He
18:02
gives specifically $5,000 everyone $5,000.
18:05
Damn. He gives away $5,000
18:08
like Tom buys fake glasses. Yeah.
18:13
Cat Williams is just, and here's the thing
18:15
though. So comics are so
18:17
unoriginal that now
18:20
the new thing and I'm telling you
18:22
is coming is trashcast.
18:24
Yeah. Where people go in and
18:26
just trash people. Yeah. And it kind of
18:28
stinks. Well, you're not that
18:30
kind of guy. Like
18:32
it's, you know what I mean? There's a lot
18:35
of comics that I think are really
18:37
funny when they're being mean. I
18:39
will say they're really funny when they're... It's really good and so
18:41
is Tosh. Yeah. You know what I
18:43
mean? And it's like, that's their gift. There's the
18:46
problem is that there's gonna be comics that aren't really
18:48
funny mean and they'll be trying to do
18:51
it and it won't work because they're more
18:53
mean than funny. You know? But
18:58
all people really want is mean.
19:01
Yeah. It's mean. I didn't know
19:03
about that. I don't know about that. Here's the thing. I
19:06
had this thought the other day. What are
19:08
you saying when you say all people want is mean? Like
19:10
what do you mean by that? I think that's what pays
19:12
in the internet. It's hard to... Positivity doesn't
19:15
really work on the internet. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:17
Like it's... And by the way, I gotta be
19:19
honest with you. Negative
19:21
comments. They only help. And
19:23
they're so funny. Some are
19:25
so fucking good. Some are so
19:28
good. Like I've gotten
19:30
into... I don't read my comments.
19:32
I don't even read comics comments anymore. But
19:35
I'll read for random things.
19:40
Just like where you go, oh, this is gonna get backlash. Of
19:44
just someone being... I'll just go into the comments
19:46
section. And negative comments are the
19:48
funniest out of all of them.
19:50
Absolutely. Even some of mine have
19:52
been... I'll never... The reason
19:54
I grew my bangs out is because somebody... I had
19:57
shorter bangs than somebody who's like, she has the same
19:59
haircut as the retard. kid I went to school with. And
20:02
I was like, I have to fix this. I have
20:04
to fix this right now. Like
20:07
there's negative comments that have changed the course
20:09
of my life. You
20:11
know what I'm saying? Do you deal with
20:14
urine therapy? Yeah. Do you deal with
20:16
like depression and stuff? I don't know. I can't
20:18
ever tell if it... I don't know if
20:21
I'm depressed. I think I've never
20:23
really looked into that. I don't
20:25
have depression like some people. I've
20:27
been in therapy for 10 years, but I don't feel
20:30
like I'm a depressive. I think
20:33
if anything, I like I'm dissociative. How
20:36
old were you when your sister passed? I
20:38
was 17. Okay. Yeah, I was
20:40
depressed after that for sure, but that's not depression.
20:42
That's my sister died. You know
20:44
what I mean? Yeah, but there's some people that
20:47
don't rebound out of that. Like that
20:49
becomes real. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then that's
20:52
their level for the rest of their lives.
20:54
And like I know, I know, I know...
20:56
Damn, I just realized I was like, oh, maybe that
20:59
is me. You could have said that and I was
21:01
like, oop. I have times where
21:04
I feel like I should be happier.
21:06
Yeah. Like we were
21:08
talking about drinking earlier. I drank once
21:10
this week and I didn't
21:14
want to. Yeah. But I did because
21:16
it was a party night and we were going to see
21:18
the Eagles and I was like, fuck yeah, cold beers, couple
21:21
of cocktails, vape pen, that'll be a fucking blast. I
21:23
got way too fucked up. And I
21:25
did, I really did. I got so far and I was in cowboy
21:27
boots so I couldn't stand very well. No. I
21:31
was like really off balance. And luckily it's the
21:34
Eagles. You were in heels. Luckily
21:37
the Eagles have a policy about not
21:39
standing at their shows because everyone's got
21:41
new hips. So we didn't stand, which
21:43
was actually pretty fucking awesome. Yeah. But
21:46
I was fucking wasted and the next
21:48
day, and I've noticed this, I've been
21:50
able to identify joy when I'm
21:53
sober, like real joy. Yeah. And I
21:55
can see it and I can feel
21:57
it and I feel good. Yeah. And
22:00
the next day it was windy. It's my
22:02
favorite weather in LA. It was windy and
22:04
cold. And I had to go pick up
22:06
eyelet of friends' house like 25 minutes away. Yeah. And
22:10
I couldn't, I wasn't getting the joy.
22:12
It was like, I was like going, oh, it's
22:14
because I'm hungover. Like I can't, I
22:16
should be very, very happy right now. Yeah. And
22:19
I'm happy. People don't think about how alcohol is
22:21
like a real depressant. Like it's really, it depresses
22:23
you. Until it hits your system. Until it hits
22:25
your system. And then you're like, I'm gonna do
22:28
this for the rest of my life. It's
22:30
so good. Yeah. It's
22:32
so good. Like I- The first time
22:34
I drank, I was like, this is what I was put
22:37
here to do. Wait, what
22:39
was the, tell me about the first time you drank. The first time
22:41
I drank, I was like, I was
22:43
older. I was 17. Uh-huh. My
22:46
mom had gotten sober
22:48
like a couple of years before that, right? Cause
22:51
my mom was in a drunk driving accident with
22:53
me and my sister in the car. And my
22:55
mom got sober and she's been sober ever since.
22:57
Really? Is this back when they took
23:00
your kids away because of that? No, we had money. They
23:02
don't take your kids away. What
23:04
kind of car was it? It was a Suburban. Ooh.
23:06
It was a Suburban. Right. Which
23:09
is not a money car, but it's- It is when you have two
23:11
of them. That's true. So
23:15
she got sober and I knew that I was like
23:18
maybe an alcoholic kind of
23:21
tangentially cause I was like hearing
23:23
about alcoholics, like heads,
23:26
like how our brains
23:28
work. And I was like, oh, it
23:30
made me think about when I was a kid, I
23:32
used to hide, like a Jiffy, like that fucking, that
23:35
marshmallow fluff under my bed. And I'd be
23:37
out with my friends, hanging out
23:39
with them, thinking about going home to eat my
23:42
fucking marshmallow fluff alone. Like that's like, I would
23:44
be, I couldn't be present thinking
23:46
about what I could go home to do in private. You
23:48
know what I mean? So I
23:50
always had this kind of like awareness
23:53
that my brain was an
23:56
addict's brain. Just from
23:58
learning about it through what- I overheard
24:00
her talk about and she
24:02
was never evangelist about it. She never like
24:05
was like you might be that you know,
24:07
she never said that. What was your mom like drinking? I
24:10
don't really remember because I was like
24:12
I never drank so I
24:14
didn't it never like registered to me.
24:17
I remember seeing my mom puking in a toilet one
24:19
time and going oh man I think she's bulimic that's
24:21
crazy like I didn't I like had no
24:24
idea like even when she was like drunk driving
24:26
I was like this woman is tired. She
24:28
has way too many kids like that. I
24:31
did not it never occurred to me that she was drunk
24:33
and I was in eighth grade. I was way too old
24:35
to like not be noticing that she
24:37
was drunk. But that's like how
24:39
innocent I was. What are you kids with that innocent
24:41
keep going. Yeah.
24:44
But anyway, so then she what
24:47
was I talking about? So she like quit
24:49
drinking and then when I first drank it
24:52
I was 17 and I was at
24:54
my friend's house. She
24:57
had a pitbull who was locked upstairs because
24:59
this pitbull had literally bitten this guy's balls
25:01
off a year prior. I don't know how
25:03
it was still alive. So the
25:05
pitbull was upstairs and
25:08
we were all under like strict like
25:10
do not go upstairs rules. But
25:14
there was an opening from upstairs to
25:17
the backyard. So
25:20
I drank so much that I
25:22
fully passed out
25:24
puked in the backyard had
25:27
puked up food that I think I think I'd eaten
25:29
like three days earlier. And I woke
25:32
up with this pitbull eating my barf
25:35
in her backyard. And I
25:37
swear to God I was like I got to do that
25:39
again. That was my first thought
25:42
was like that was fucking amazing. I was
25:44
like that was the greatest night of my life. I
25:46
thought I was in a movie. I felt
25:48
like I was in my own movie. You know
25:50
what I mean. I was like so comfortable in my own skin and I
25:52
was like I never felt this.
25:54
I had never felt freedom from that
25:57
like do I fit here. Am I
25:59
my can I. I be myself, is this
26:01
okay? All of that was gone
26:03
and I was like, this is how I wanna
26:05
feel. This is how I'm supposed
26:07
to feel. Really? Because it is how you're
26:09
supposed to feel. Yeah. But I
26:11
just had no way
26:13
of getting to that without alcohol. Like
26:15
alcohol let me feel
26:18
confident for a second. Yeah. Before
26:21
I'd ever had a chance to build it myself. That's
26:24
interesting. You know what I mean? I wanted to
26:26
be cool. Yeah. So
26:28
cool was my, like, because
26:31
I was cool, but I wasn't
26:33
confident in my coolness. Yeah. Like
26:35
I was cool in seventh grade and I, like
26:39
all growing up I was cool. And then when
26:42
I saw cool kids, like high school kids and
26:44
like kids and you'd hear stories about,
26:46
oh my God, Hartley Watson got so drunk last
26:48
night. And I would be like, oh,
26:50
that sounds cool. Yeah. And so
26:52
I wanted to be cool and I fake drank. This
26:55
is so the birdest thing ever. If
26:58
you want to get down to like whittling
27:01
who I am, I
27:04
fake drank more than I'd drank. Like
27:08
I would fake drink. So I didn't like the
27:10
feel, I was afraid of getting drunk. So
27:13
I would fake drink. I
27:15
would fake smoke pot. Like
27:17
smoke pot, like take it and not inhale. And
27:20
cause I liked being around those
27:22
people. And I felt like they were
27:24
cool and I wanted to be cool. But
27:27
I didn't want to lose, yeah, I get it with the smoking pot cause
27:29
I didn't want to lose control of my own mind. Yes,
27:31
yes. Or when I did lose control. By the way,
27:33
I found a real workaround for that. Cause I'm smoking
27:35
a lot of pot now. I smoked
27:38
pot last night and I get sometimes all panic attack.
27:40
Dance odor changed my game. I called him New Year's
27:42
day. I called him New Year's day and thanked him
27:44
for the gift of marijuana. Yeah. Cause
27:46
we did a podcast in here and I said,
27:48
I knew I wanted to party with them and he was going to
27:50
smoke pot. So I was like, and I hadn't drank in like maybe
27:53
a month. And he said, I said, well,
27:55
I'm going to drink tonight. It's been a month, 40 days.
27:58
I'm going to drink with Dan. and I'll smoke weed with him.
28:01
And he was like, well, you don't have to drink, you
28:03
just smoke weed. And I go, I don't know, I drink
28:05
if I smoke weed. And he goes, well, you
28:07
can just do weed by itself. And I was like, I
28:09
think I'll freak out. And he goes, well, hold on. You've
28:11
already admitted you're gonna drink. So start
28:13
with weed, and if you need a drink, get
28:16
a drink, but if you don't, see if the weed'll work. I
28:19
just smoked pot, and I
28:21
had so much fun. And then when
28:23
we did Red Rocks, I was down by the river in
28:26
Colorado, smoking a joint in the morning
28:28
with Dan Soder. I
28:30
think we'd just done the show the night before. He
28:32
was getting ready to leave. And I had a panic
28:35
attack, and I said, what do you do
28:37
when you get scared? And Dan just, in
28:39
typical Dan Soder fashion, goes, oh, sometimes
28:41
we all get scared. That's part of it. You
28:44
just gotta realize, that comes with the good
28:47
stuff. Let yourself get scared and realize, I
28:49
get scared too, so does Big J, we all get scared.
28:51
And it took away my fear of
28:54
being scared on weed, and now, the biggest thing I'd
28:56
have a fear of is when I got too
28:58
high and I got in bed, and my brain
29:00
would think crazy thoughts. And
29:02
I realized, that's also what happens when you start
29:04
to fall asleep. When you start to fall asleep
29:06
and you're like, all right,
29:08
I got a busy day, I gotta do a
29:11
lot of stuff to do. I gotta put the- What if
29:13
I fall out of a plane one time? Yeah,
29:15
my one was always, my brain would
29:18
go. We gotta put flippers on
29:20
the dogs, and I'm like, wait, what? And
29:23
then now, when I think crazy thoughts when I lay in bed,
29:25
I go, oh, that's my mind getting ready to go to bed.
29:27
So I'm not afraid of them, I'm gonna hit a horse with
29:29
a shovel, and I'm like, wait, what? So
29:33
now, I just embrace the crazy thoughts, and
29:35
then realize, that's just the drug, and
29:37
this drug's giving me so many good times, I gotta let it give
29:39
me the bad times. Yeah, it's a ride. It's
29:43
like any time that you've done mushrooms. Have you
29:45
done mushrooms? Yes. Yeah, so it's like mushrooms,
29:47
or anything. I never did enough mushrooms
29:49
to fucking lose my shit. I was
29:51
always scared of them. So
29:53
it took like a cap, two caps, waited,
29:56
took another, like waited a very healthy
29:58
amount of time. Never too
30:00
late never like two in the morning. Yeah,
30:02
I was always very respectful of that drug
30:05
But the first time I got drunk we
30:08
were in Alan Reger's House
30:11
and his mom caught us and I this
30:13
is the feeling I remember distinctly
30:15
She emptied a bunch of natty
30:17
lights Yeah on to the table
30:19
and me came in and Alan were sitting there and she
30:22
goes Can you boys explain this and
30:24
I felt alcohol in my system and alcohol
30:26
said to me we don't need to let's
30:28
just ride this sparkle Yeah That's
30:33
the best thing about alcohol, it's it's
30:35
really like Whatever
30:37
the fuck it's it whatever gets
30:40
in the way of your brain Yeah, you
30:42
just go like I'm just gonna say fuck that
30:44
I don't fucking care Like I
30:46
that's what I loved about it. Is that I could if
30:49
I was drunk I
30:51
would fucking rollerblade down the
30:53
middle of Times Square just
30:56
fucking hitting bars like Drinking
30:59
and going directly into traffic and being
31:01
like hit me. Yeah, I'm
31:03
gonna fucking bounce off your car Nothing's
31:07
gonna hurt like I that's how I felt. I
31:09
was like, I'm not gonna die. I'm never gonna
31:11
die That's how it made me feel
31:13
like it was better than any drug I'd ever done and
31:16
To sit like off of what you were saying about
31:18
like when you smoke weed and you like go like
31:20
everybody gets here I had to learn how to do
31:22
that Sober Because
31:25
I was a fucking weed addict
31:27
then I got into alcohol So
31:29
both of them were for me. I'm
31:32
across the board Like I
31:34
just love all of it like anything that'll get me out
31:36
of my fucking so I had to learn Sober
31:39
to do the same thing that you do high where
31:42
I was like, oh I'm this
31:44
is just my brain. This is just
31:46
part of being alive This is how
31:48
it is Like you have moments where
31:50
you're fucking you feel shitty and
31:52
you have moments where you feel really fucking good And
31:54
you don't get to control which ones calm and where
31:56
they're when they're gonna come and you just kind of
31:58
ride it out like Like that,
32:01
that was kind of the same thing that I learned how
32:03
to do when I got sober.
32:05
Sober brain's tough. It's not
32:07
though. Not once you've, it's
32:11
as tough as day one
32:13
and day two of sober are
32:16
probably the toughest.
32:18
The day one is the hardest day of sober.
32:21
Yeah. Day one is
32:23
the day, that's the thing. I think day two is actually tougher
32:26
because day one you're like, you're still kind of
32:28
hungover. Oh yeah, but that
32:31
creepiness of hangover. Like
32:33
I had it what, two days ago?
32:35
Was it, no, it was yesterday. We
32:37
drank Saturday. Yeah. We drank
32:39
Saturday. Yesterday I was like, I
32:43
do things now to force myself not to drink because
32:45
I go, I don't want to drink this week. So
32:48
then I go, I'll do a 6am workout. Yeah.
32:50
And so I know I won't drink so I want to work out and I want to be hungover.
32:53
But yesterday I was like, I don't want to
32:56
drink today. And I did an early workout. I
32:58
picked up Isla, did an early workout. And then
33:00
I was like, but
33:03
it never showed up. It never, I
33:05
wasn't hungover enough I guess. Yeah. So
33:08
it never showed up and then I was like, oh, this is fun.
33:10
I'm going to make some food. I'm going to fuck around the house.
33:12
I'm going to just kind of like, and Leanne was doing like a
33:14
CPR class for some fucking reason. So
33:16
she was gone for like four hours. Yeah. I
33:19
fell off the bed during sex. It was bad. I
33:22
fell off the bed so bad during sex and I
33:24
landed on a razor blade. And
33:26
I cut my ass so bad. We thought we were going to have to go
33:29
to the hospital. What? Yeah. Is
33:31
it bad? It's bad. There's
33:33
still a car cut on it. Pretty bad. It hurts
33:35
to sit. Is it infected? I don't know what's in
33:37
my ass. So it will be. I'm sure it will
33:39
be. Let
33:42
me see it. This episode is brought

35:08
starts now. I first gave AG1 a try
35:10
because I was tired of taking so many
35:12
supplements every day and wanted
35:14
a single solution that supported my
35:17
entire body. Since drinking AG1 daily, I
35:19
feel energized and way more nourished. Not
35:21
only does AG1 deliver my daily dose
35:24
of vitamins, minerals, pre-M, probiotics, and
35:26
more, but it's a powerful
35:28
healthy habit that's also powerfully simple.
35:31
It's just one scoop, mix it in water once
35:33
a day, every day. I know with
35:36
AG1, I'm giving my body high quality nutrition
35:38
because every batch of AG1 goes through
35:41
a rigorous testing process so you know it's
35:43
safe. I always
35:45
go back to this. Look, Leanne takes AG1 every single
35:47
morning. I watch her take it. She loves it. I
35:50
remember this one episode that Rogan did when
35:52
he was with Andrew Schultz. It
35:55
wasn't an ad. He just casually said, yeah man, I
35:57
flew all night. It's been a long morning, but I just took my
35:59
AG1. I feel so tired. much better. I mean I'm telling
36:01
you that's all I needed to hear to put it
36:03
on our tour bus and have it every single morning.
36:05
The first thing when I wake up AG1 is a
36:08
supplement I trust to provide the support
36:10
my body needs daily and that's why I'm
36:12
excited to welcome them as a new partner.
36:14

36:37
ass so it will be I'm sure it
36:39
will be. Let me see it. Oh
36:45
my god you didn't have to spread your cheeks.
36:48
No but I didn't have to
36:51
see inside of it. No but I didn't
36:53
know. That is really bad. Really bad. BERT
36:55
that's really bad. Really bad. Did you put
36:57
hydrogen peroxide on that? Neosporin. Okay good because
37:00
it looks like you poured something
37:02
antiseptic that's too powerful into it. It's
37:04
so bad I didn't have an orgasm.
37:06
Oh my god. We just stopped. We
37:08
just stopped and took care of the
37:10
wound. It
37:13
was bad. That's love. That
37:16
was really beautiful. Yeah. I
37:19
don't I really I think I'm married enough
37:21
to say that that's really romantic. It was
37:23
very romantic. I
37:28
can't believe you spread your cheeks. I wanted
37:30
you to see it was in the crack.
37:33
I saw it's not in the crack. I
37:36
just need you to know
37:38
it's a little far it's a little far right of
37:40
the crack. I
37:45
thought I broke my tailbone. I
37:47
was down for a fucking count. I was like
37:50
oh my god I'm hurt. I'm hurt. Can
37:52
I tell you a crazy story like when Andy
37:54
and I tried to fuck at the end of
37:56
my pregnancy right which was like he
37:58
I could tell. He was like gross
38:01
like I knew he didn't want to do it
38:03
and I was like I need wait Is he
38:05
how much does he weigh he I probably
38:07
like 180? He
38:10
gained weight. I think he hit like 200 when I was
38:12
pregnant Yeah, but like he
38:14
started my pregnancy off at the
38:16
weight that I was when I ended it So
38:21
he's like looking at me he was like, uh,
38:23
I don't want you look like a patient like
38:25
I don't want to fuck you You look sick
38:28
and I I was like I need this
38:30
baby to come so let's fucking do it
38:32
cuz that's start that can start labor So yeah,
38:34
so that's what the doctor said and I was
38:36
like she said that to us to our faces
38:38
So I was like, okay, let's just try this Like
38:42
a Guatemalan couple when when Leanne was about
38:44
to give birth cuz it was spicy food
38:47
and sex We were like a young Guatemalan
38:49
couple and Every
38:53
fucking night and then fucking farting
38:55
on top of each other. It was
38:57
disgusting I mean, it was the worst sex he would
38:59
sit here right next to me and be like you were
39:01
hideous I don't I didn't want any part of it, but I
39:03
love you. So I was gonna take one for the team So
39:06
we start fucking I I had a
39:08
vibrator my vibrator Fucking runs
39:10
out of batteries in the middle
39:13
of us fucking he had already come
39:15
I was like trying to and The
39:18
vibrator dies and then I try to turn it back
39:20
on and I'm I lost my or I was just
39:22
like it's gone I threw the
39:24
vibrator so hard into the wall that
39:26
it shattered into three pieces I
39:30
was like fuck I was so mad
39:33
because when you're at the end of
39:35
your pregnancy you get so horny But
39:37
no, but you're the least fuckable you've ever
39:39
been It
39:46
was brutal it was brutal I
39:48
said I was like I feel a new I feel
39:51
a genuine like Understanding of
39:53
like I'm a fat man for the first
39:55
time as a pregnant woman
40:00
What? You know? What,
40:03
that's fucking hilarious.
40:05
What, I don't
40:08
know where to go from ass cheeks
40:10
to vibrators going into the wall. I
40:12
think we got it guys. No. Yeah,
40:14
we're good. Yeah. What, and
40:16
then when you guys. We went from sobriety
40:18
to asshole to vibrate.
40:20
I'm obsessed with sobriety. I'm obsessed with
40:23
it. Yeah. Like yeah, cause I. Like
40:26
sobriety sobriety or just like. No, no,
40:29
no, just being sober. Not
40:31
like, but not, but like enjoying soberness
40:33
as much as I enjoyed alcohol. Yeah.
40:36
So like doing that, that like two wings
40:38
of the bird. Yeah. Like
40:41
I've really enjoyed it and I look
40:43
forward to times of being
40:45
sober. And I never did
40:47
that before. I never did that. I always wanted
40:49
the escape. Yeah. And I always
40:52
wanted the party to keep going. I
40:55
did too. And I feel like there's, I
40:57
mean, I don't talk about this that often
40:59
cause I end up sounding like evangelical, but
41:01
I fucking love my life
41:04
sober. Like I really do. And I feel
41:06
like I have
41:08
experienced every single moment
41:12
of my life, like in a
41:14
way that not everybody gets
41:16
to do it. You know, like even
41:18
the parts where I've been
41:20
in places where I'm like having
41:24
the greatest time and I feel
41:26
nothing. And I'm like, well, I
41:29
didn't think I would feel this way, but this is where
41:31
I'm at. And this is what it is for me right
41:33
now. And then in
41:35
retrospect, I go back and I go like,
41:38
that was actually so great that
41:40
I couldn't, because I was sober, I was
41:42
like, I couldn't quite grasp
41:45
it at the moment. But like
41:47
when I did that fucking Netflix thing and I
41:50
met David Letterman and I got on the plane
41:52
that night, I was like crying
41:54
on the plane. Cause I was like, that was
41:56
so, I just, that was a
41:58
dream come true. And
42:00
when you're sober you get to kind of
42:02
bask in it. Yeah, and when you're drunk
42:06
It's a different appreciation. So I've had those
42:08
moments where you I had My
42:11
first special ever shot I did I hadn't drank
42:13
for like a month leading up to it. And
42:15
then that night We
42:18
drank at my house where I went back to my house and
42:20
we and I had a drink and I was like
42:24
This doesn't not turn in the
42:26
corner the way I wanted right? Yeah, when you when you
42:28
celebrate it's sober and I've done a lot of those celebrating
42:31
sober especially lately
42:34
There is a like like especially in the
42:37
next morning. Yeah cup of coffee where you're
42:39
like, wow, I'm not I don't
42:41
feel sick Yeah, I feel really good. See I
42:44
couldn't and I don't maybe I can one
42:46
day but I can't Enjoy
42:49
sobriety not knowing there's a tap out
42:52
Yeah, like I I want to enjoy LA without knowing
42:54
I can move back to New York Like
42:56
it's there's certain things that like might
42:59
just not be for you and maybe someday they
43:01
will be but I was like It does that's
43:03
not the point. The point is if you can
43:05
enjoy sobriety on a daily basis
43:09
then You
43:11
know, that's it like yeah, that's actually kind
43:14
of how I've stayed sober Like
43:16
for 16 years is knowing that I'm like
43:18
someday I could drink if I want to that's
43:20
that's what I needed like I
43:23
have a Friend
43:26
Who is young very young? I
43:28
should let you know I'm related to him because it
43:31
sounds creepy that I hang out with fucking Yeah, yeah,
43:33
that's better. But I have a friend who's dealing with
43:35
sobriety He's been sober like six months and he looks
43:37
great and he acts great and he's like really present
43:39
and I ran into him at one of my shows
43:41
and we hung out we talked and And
43:44
my uncle's had knew I had not been drinking
43:46
for a period of time. I was drinking that
43:48
night Yeah, it was Philly. It was like DJ.
43:50
It was a big fucking show and I
43:52
wanted to drink And so I was drinking and he talked to me
43:54
about he was I can't do never man
43:57
And I said you don't have to do never you
43:59
have to do today Like that's
44:01
just do today. Yeah, get through today
44:03
and then deal with never tomorrow or
44:05
don't deal with it Just but know
44:07

44:09

44:27

44:29
I I My
44:31
problem is I went through and I read a bunch of
44:33
or listened to a bunch of a Shit,
44:37

44:46
and I can say that wholeheartedly. Thank
44:49

he When he for
44:54
the first I'm paraphrasing obviously you should definitely
44:57
check out his books fucking amazing. Yeah, it's
44:59
amazing Yeah, but when he talks about not
45:01
being able to find the joy that everyone
45:03
else was having in rehab And
45:06
going like I can't be happy. I don't I
45:08
just want the drugs Yeah, he could never turn
45:10
off the party meaning he he
45:12
didn't need anyone to be around right? He
45:14
just wanted to be fucked up. Yeah, I
45:16
need people around I can't get fucked up

47:14
Yeah, I had a fucking blast I had
47:16
a real I had a couple of Pippenese
47:18
and I talked I no

47:22
broken and My fixes
47:25
are for Burt. Yeah, they work for Burt
47:27
and one day I'll die. I know that
47:29
yeah, but my like The
47:31
other night on the plane we flew back. We were
47:33
the whole family's on the plane We had horrible turbulence
47:36
like Ila was sweating. I didn't like
47:38
it. Yeah, and Ila is like land.
47:40
She's dead inside And
47:42
they they knew I was gonna drink that
47:44
everyone in all my family knew I didn't
47:46
drink for our whole ski trip I
47:48
did I was and I had these great sober
47:51
epiphanies really like getting up
47:53
early Being of service
47:55
to my family getting coffee getting everyone breakfast
47:57
waking everyone up getting everyone in their ski
47:59
gear getting the girls to less than say, learn how to
48:01
snowboard with Leanne. And then me getting on the
48:03
mountain sober, not hungover and doing like
48:05
nine runs and then going to get Isla and
48:08
me and her going. I loved it. I loved
48:10
even waiting in line for the key lift because
48:12
I was like, this is what the vacation's about.
48:15
You got a little plane, horrible turbulence, big
48:17
trigger for me. Cause I go, I don't need to feel
48:19
the panic. I know I have a drink that goes away.
48:22
And I was going to have a drink. And I said to myself,
48:25
but you know that you have a workout early tomorrow. Are
48:28
you going to pay the
48:30
pay the fee now and then feel the taxes
48:33
tomorrow? Right. Or what if
48:35
you just, what if you just sit
48:37
in this? Yeah. And know that this hour
48:39
and a half or hour
48:41
technically, once we start going down
48:44
for whatever reason, all my anxiety is gone. Once we start
48:47
to land. Andy's like that too. Yes.
48:49
As soon as I hear, we're starting our descent. Yeah.
48:53
I'm like, we made it. We made it. And I know that's,
48:55
that's one plane's crash, but at least at
48:58
least we're close to the ground. I feel like I'll make it. I
49:00
can tuck and roll. Yeah. And then, and
49:02
then I said, I'm going to pay the, I'm going
49:04
to pay the tax and the fee right now. And
49:06
I'm going to sit in this uncomfortable. It's knowing that
49:09
tomorrow I'll feel amazing all day. Right. And
49:11
so I did that and I was like, and I felt really
49:13
proud of myself. The other epiphany I had, I was going to
49:15
tell you this downstairs is normally, and I said
49:18
this to a friend. He was like, Hey, are you drinking
49:20
tonight? And I was like, no, I haven't been drinking. And
49:22
he's like, how long? I don't know. And he goes, you
49:24
don't know. There's a guy that really drinks. And I said,
49:26
yeah, I don't know. He was like,
49:28
wait, you always know exactly how many days you haven't
49:30
drank. Which is totally true. And I was
49:32
like, well, I don't know. And he goes, count it. And he
49:34
goes, what number do you think it is? I go probably like four
49:36
days. And he goes, count it. And it
49:38
was 11 days. And I went,
49:41
holy fuck. I haven't drank in 11
49:43
days. And I didn't notice it. It's
49:45
because you're like more present. If you're
49:47
just being more present, then you're not done. If
49:49
you are the millionth woman to say to me
49:51
how present I am lately. I am
49:54
so present that I just.
49:58
You don't have to count. how
50:00
many days you've been so, you're not, because
50:02
there's one way to look at is like, sure
50:05
you're counting the days that you
50:07
haven't had a drink and that's
50:09
great, but you're also kind of counting
50:11
how many days until you can. Yeah. If
50:14
you're, if you think like, I mean, that's the
50:16
way I think. If they offered a facility
50:18
where you could go under
50:22
doctor supervision. To drink? With
50:24
30 of your favorite people and
50:27
blow it out. I'm talking booze,
50:30
fucking, and they monitor you. So you're not getting,
50:32
you're not doing any bad. I already know the
50:34
answer is no. Really? I
50:36
wouldn't do it. And then they cleaned you
50:39
up. They put you into a coma for two days. Wouldn't
50:41
do it. Really? Wouldn't do it.
50:43
I wouldn't do it because I look at
50:45
what my sobriety has
50:50
like gotten me to. Like where I was
50:52
at when I quit drinking. Yeah.
50:55
And what my life looks like now. And
50:58
I have a daughter and I,
51:00
I'm like, there's no fucking way
51:02
I would trade this. Even my worst day
51:05
sober is better, like
51:08
a million times better than my worst day
51:10
of drinking. Is it better than your best
51:12
day? Or than my best day. Okay. That's
51:15
my best day. My best day drinking. Yeah.
51:18
Like easily. Easily.
51:21
Cause even on, when I would have
51:24
what I would consider one of my best days drinking, I
51:26
would wake up the next day and someone would, there
51:28
would be someone in my life that would never speak
51:31
to me again. Really?
51:34
Yeah. I was that, I was mean. I was
51:36
really mean. I bet you were. I was so mean.
51:38
I bet you were fucking, you're mean, like regular. I
51:40
know. Like you've said things, we edited things out of
51:42
the podcast last time we did, that I still think
51:44
of. And you go, I think we should take that
51:47
out. That came out mean. And I was like, no,
51:49
that's why I liked it. I
51:52
love, but I love, that's what I love about you. Yeah. I'm
51:55
mean, but
51:57
the way that I was mean, like there's.
52:00
ex-boyfriends of mine that will speak to my
52:02
family and not speak to me from
52:04
high school for awesome like
52:06
that's crazy to me I've never I've
52:08
never had the ability to be mean I'm like
52:10
what did I say that was so mean
52:13
that you won't speak to
52:15
me since high school like
52:18
I've been 16 years sober and
52:21
I've been on TV yeah they still won't
52:23
talk to you still won't talk to
52:25
me what the fuck did
52:27
I do cuz I obviously don't remember
52:29
a woman can hurt you more
52:32
than any man yeah oh
52:34
yeah yeah yeah yeah
52:38
I've said things to Leanne I've said
52:40
mean things to Leanne yeah
52:42
the only person I've ever gotten my meanness mm-hmm
52:45
like I've said things that if I brought them
52:47
up we immediately start laughing
52:49
she's like and I stayed with you yeah yeah
52:52
I remember I remember distinctly yeah but
52:54
that was when I was coming off oxy oh
52:57
I was pretty addicted
52:59
to oxy and Valium
53:01
when probably
53:05
fucking narrow escape yeah
53:07
she got me out of it I didn't realize how bad
53:09
I was well yeah that's
53:11
sort of the idea you're on painkillers I
53:13
had been I had dealt with PTSD I
53:16
was dealing with PTSD and I didn't know it it
53:18
was from I apologize
53:21
to all the military folk listening to this
53:24
some riding roller coaster I
53:30
had I was
53:33
I've been doing Travel Channel and I had been
53:35
doing you know Leanne the end of PTSD there
53:37
was way too many trips to Disney World my
53:41
past there was a thing that was
53:43
happening so like I when I was at Travel Channel
53:45
I would do three every day
53:47
I do three life adventure
53:50
bucket list adventures mm-hmm so I got a
53:52
day I had one day where I repelled
53:55
off Table Mountain in South Africa swam with
53:57
great white sharks and then jumped off a
53:59
stadium Yeah in like within 10 hours,
54:02
right? And so and I'm in
54:04
your country Yeah, depending my country and I
54:06
didn't like that shit. I don't like I'm
54:08
not an adrenaline junkie Mm-hmm, and so I
54:10
remember being in my hotel room in South
54:13
Africa shaking on the end of the bed
54:16
Shaking and I'd been drinking and I thought the
54:18
drinking would calm it down Wasn't
54:20
and my heart was racing Remember my heart was a
54:22
hundred and twenty two beats per minute and I was
54:24
sitting on the corner of the bed and I
54:27
called Leanne and she was like you should take a bath and
54:29
I go you know bass gonna fix this
54:31
Yeah, like I'm fucking I think I should jerk off
54:33
like I don't like yeah Like and then and
54:36
then I fell off a waterfall and I
54:38
had a really traumatic experience
54:41
Like really traumatic within 24 hours of falling.
54:44
I had just that's when they gave me
54:47
Dilaudid for the first time and and
54:50
and they gave me a prescription for oxy
54:52
cotton that I was That
54:55
I was to take every four hours. Oh my
54:57
god I was taking it every four hours and
55:00
then it was just it was like it was
55:02
not I'm saying I'm sure the pen the the
55:04
epidemic of pain pills was there Yeah, it
55:06
was a little bit right around the time where everyone's
55:08
realizing how dangerous they were Yeah, and so they're giving
55:10
me every four hours out of North Carolina every four
55:12
hours and then value them every four hours So
55:15
it's taking value every four hours and and by the way,
55:17
the oxycontin would run out at like three hours
55:20
I could feel it run out. Yeah, and I
55:25
called the Anna we were in North Carolina. I had a
55:27
gig in Aspen that paid $25,000

56:57
I was taking them. I was taking
56:59
them whenever I whenever I actually whatever I'd start
57:01

57:03
will just cut my drinking in half dude
57:05
when I did IVF
57:07
with Andy, right? I Walked
57:11
in I had the meeting like the you
57:13
know before they did the surgery and I was like just
57:15
so you guys know and I Had mentioned it to my doctors before
57:18
and they they don't give a fuck
57:20
No, you I was like look I'm
57:22
an addict. I've been sober 15
57:25
years at this point You
57:27
cannot give me fentanyl. You can't give
57:29
me oxycontin. You can't give me any power I can get
57:32
Tylenol Advil Motrin,
57:34
whatever those are but
57:36
I was like I can't get anything beyond that Same
57:39
for my c-section. I was like I can't
57:41
have really nothing. I said
57:43
I'll take Tylenol Advil Motrin
57:46
That's it. Really and I
57:50
woke up from my from IVF and
57:52
I said the first thing I said
57:54
was Can I have
57:56
fentanyl and they gave me fentanyl
57:58
and then 10 minutes Later I go can
58:00
I have some more and they gave me some more and
58:02
it was like Andy was like, whoa. Whoa. Whoa No,
58:05
no, that's it. That's no more. That's
58:07
it, you know, but it
58:09
was like they don't care. No, like I
58:11
had to Because
58:14
of that I walked into my c-section being
58:16
like if you guys give me this
58:18
stuff I will I will find someone
58:21
and Sue because
58:24
I've explained that I'm an addict and
58:26
if you give me even if I ask for this shit
58:29
I cannot have it like they
58:31
don't get that an addict will
58:33
say don't give me this and then ask
58:35
for it Ten minutes
58:37
later and it's a tough situation because they're
58:40
doctors and if you're in pain, they have
58:42
to treat it So it's a hard like
58:44
but that's how this country that we still don't get
58:47
that it's it's its own disease Oh,
58:49
I still to this day when they go in
58:51
and like when I had my surgery
58:53
or when I had my For
58:56
my elbow, they're like how much pain are you
58:58
in on a scale of one to ten? I was like who says
59:00
nine Yeah, everyone's it's ten.
59:02
What's the biggest thing you got right
59:04
and then double it like yeah But
59:07
that that is my brain
59:09
with those pill pills are so Dangerous
59:11
for me. Yeah, because you can take them and
59:14
no one sees it. Yeah, and then you feel
59:16
better Yeah, and and I
59:19
I have I've had friends who drink in private
59:21
Like they keep their drink away from everyone and
59:23
do it on the DL No, it's always like
59:25
oh my drinking has got to be in front
59:27
of everyone. You have to know how much I
59:29
drank Yeah, cuz I can't I if I start
59:31
doing that we're fucked Yeah, but uh, but I
59:33
do smoke weed and probably like I don't smoke
59:35
weed in front of people. It's just a weird
59:37
thing right, yeah, it's you know, but
59:39
uh, yeah, I I I'm
59:43
fascinated. I'm fascinated
59:45
with the
59:47
impulse and of addiction. Yeah the
59:49
impulse of Cat Williams
59:51
does something really cool in his thing about why
59:53
he's never done drugs like I believe he's never
59:55
done drugs I kind of believe him He
59:58
said that anything when the devil takes
1:00:01
your free will, he didn't want
1:00:03
to be a part of anything. And I was like,
1:00:05
oh, that's a fucked up moment. I
1:00:10
felt it skiing with my daughters because
1:00:13
there were times when, not
1:00:15
sneaky, but like the girls would be taking lessons and
1:00:17
Leanne would be with them, where I was free. And
1:00:19
I'd be like, oh, I'm just gonna have a beer.
1:00:21
But it was a sneaky beer. I was like, I'm
1:00:23
gonna go up to the chalet and have a beer
1:00:25
and look at the mountain. And then
1:00:27
that beer always turned into three. And then
1:00:29
I'd be like, all right, I'm ready to go back on
1:00:32
the mountain. But then once that energy started,
1:00:35
it was like, yo, we're drinking today. We're in.
1:00:38
But it was never like... I
1:00:42
was always adjusting my day around the
1:00:45
drinking rather than the other way around. Do
1:00:48
you know what I mean? I was always organizing
1:00:50
my day around my drinking versus organizing
1:00:52
my drinking around my day. Well,
1:00:56
that's interesting. I
1:00:58
organize my day around my... I
1:01:00
organize my drinking around my day.
1:01:04
I'm very specific
1:01:06
on like, if I have stuff to do, I
1:01:08
can't drink. But then there's things I
1:01:11
go, well, that's a drinking thing. So then
1:01:13
we gotta get shit done before the drinking thing. So
1:01:15
something's burning is a perfect example. Usually
1:01:18
I'll drink on something's burning. Because
1:01:20
it just makes the fucking thing flutter. And
1:01:24
so I'll go, well, we gotta get a bunch
1:01:26
of shit crammed in before two o'clock when we
1:01:28
do our first something's burning. And
1:01:30
then if I know that if I have someone
1:01:33
who's a bigger drinker, I try to put them in the back so
1:01:35
I can have one drink with them and
1:01:37
then do real drinking then. Yeah. But
1:01:40
I also like... I never had that. I never had
1:01:42
that kind of organizational
1:01:44
capacity. Or I
1:01:46
guess I did, but it was the other way around where it
1:01:48
was like, oh, well, I actually can't do that because I have to
1:01:50
drink today. Oh, oh, I won't
1:01:52
drink before. If I have a spot, I won't drink before a spot. I
1:01:55
never did comedy drunk. I really,
1:01:57
I never did it. It's pretty fucking fun.
1:02:00
I can't even fucking imagine the shit you
1:02:02
say. I can't even imagine I'm
1:02:04
like if I started now, I
1:02:06
don't know if I could ever go back To
1:02:09
like doing it. I watched I watched dudes.
1:02:11
I watched dudes who drank so much on stage They didn't
1:02:14
know what to do with their hands when they did late
1:02:16
nights best sets. Yeah It
1:02:19
was crazy. I remember one guy
1:02:21
specifically who you could tell he always had a
1:02:23
beer in his hand on stage Yeah, and when he did set
1:02:25
he was like you see his left hand didn't know what to
1:02:27
do Yeah, and I was like, oh I
1:02:29
got I got very lucky the first time ever to
1:02:31
stand up the guy I grabbed a beer and this
1:02:33
guy Who
1:02:36
by the way is working comic I
1:02:38
think he has a huge podcast now called Schmoes
1:02:42
no movies Christian
1:02:44
I'm fucking is I'm sorry,
1:02:47
buddy what? No,
1:02:49
it's not Markellas, but it's he's good friends
1:02:51
of Markellas. He was a comedy store comic
1:02:54
Random as fuck our first time doing stand-up
1:02:56
in Tallahassee. He's there. Yeah, and and You
1:03:00
grabbed a beer and I grabbed a beer and he stopped me and
1:03:02
he said I wouldn't do that apart of you By
1:03:04
the way, we're the same age with both 25 20 maybe 20 was 24 And
1:03:08
he was like if you do that now to get on stage,
1:03:11
you're gonna always need to do that to get on stage Yeah,
1:03:13
I went oh you should do it sober and take this like
1:03:15
a job So if you're gonna do this for a living you
1:03:17
should be able to do it sober Yeah, I didn't drink that
1:03:19
night and I had a black you took your shirt off I
1:03:21
did not that's back when I performed with the
1:03:24
shirt. I would know really I know the shirt I works
1:03:26
I wear that shirt on stage for the first. I'm very
1:03:28
ritualistic like and my biggest one of my biggest
1:03:31
Anxiety-inducing things is what was I gonna wear
1:03:33
on stage? It used to make
1:03:35
me fucking crazy. I've never been a ritual
1:03:37
person I've never I don't like rituals. I
1:03:40
don't like I don't even like traditions really
1:03:42
now. I love traditions I love rituals I
1:03:44
do I have this I shower the same
1:03:46
way before I fly every day every time
1:03:49
Every time I fly I just name exactly
1:03:51
you know Andy won't jerk off before he flies He
1:03:55
has like a whole team down yeah, he's like
1:03:58
he's a Somewhere
1:04:00
in his brain, he was like, if I
1:04:02
jerk off, the plane's going down. I
1:04:05
identify with that. And he like will not.
1:04:07
I won't jerk off for a special. Yeah,
1:04:09
really? Yeah. That's
1:04:11
so odd to me. Yeah, I. I
1:04:15
guess I've just never, I am always just like, I'm
1:04:18
not keeping track of my life as
1:04:20
well as I could, I guess. Rituals are
1:04:22
really relaxing. They can make you crazy, I
1:04:24
have the same ritual. They don't seem relaxing.
1:04:27
Everyone I know that has rituals is
1:04:29
very regimented and anxiety
1:04:31
ridden. I used to wear the
1:04:33
exact same clothes every
1:04:36
flight. Okay, why?
1:04:38
Same clothes. Because
1:04:40
it worked the first time. What
1:04:43
do you mean it worked? I didn't die.
1:04:46
That's, you know that
1:04:48
that's the pilot. You can find pictures, I'm
1:04:50
sure. Wait,
1:04:53
but Bert, you know that that's the pilot.
1:04:55
No, it was my ritual. When you say that
1:04:57
worked. It was my ritual, fucking fixed them. Everyone
1:04:59
on the plane, I used to think they owe
1:05:01
me. They owe me, everyone on this plane
1:05:03
owes me because I said prayers for all of us. I
1:05:06
did, I got, I wore the same thing. I
1:05:08
got on the plane the same way. I did
1:05:10
the exact same thing when I get on the
1:05:13
plane. I touch the plane a certain way. So
1:05:15
you think your God and your little outfits are
1:05:17
saving an entire plane. You are God in your
1:05:19
own world, right? Like you are God.
1:05:23
I heard today was it. I'm
1:05:25
starting to understand how you make so much
1:05:27
money. You
1:05:29
are your own God. Like when I
1:05:32
die, the world ends. Yeah. So
1:05:34
you are God. Like I. I get what you're saying.
1:05:36
Like if you don't believe in death, you're
1:05:39
gonna be right 99% of the time. And
1:05:43
then one time you're gonna be wrong. You're gonna be like, oh fuck,
1:05:45
I guess I was wrong. That's really fucking deep. You have been smoking
1:05:47
weed. I, I'm, I, I had
1:05:50
a, I had a. You don't believe in
1:05:52
death. You are gonna be right 99.9% of the
1:05:54
time. Yeah.
1:05:57
Every time people die, you always go, oof, I was.
1:06:00
them. That
1:06:02
was crazy. I guess that happens to everyone but me. So when a plane
1:06:04
goes down, you're like, should have worn
1:06:06
the hoodie and the sweatpants. Well, I
1:06:09
will at this point. By
1:06:11
the way, this is how crazy I am. I
1:06:13
do the same thing every time before I fly.
1:06:15
I squat down, like
1:06:20
a catcher, I squat down in the shower. I
1:06:22
have to be covered in soap. I cover my
1:06:25
entire body in soap and then I squat down.
1:06:27
The first thing I say is,
1:06:30
God, are we going to die today? And I can
1:06:32
see him shake his head, no. And I go, are
1:06:34
we going to live? And he goes, yes, I go,
1:06:36
let's get there. And so then we track our flight
1:06:38
in my head. I track a safe voyage
1:06:41
in my head of the plane going from,
1:06:43
and I will have to redo it if
1:06:45
I'm going out of Burbank. Like
1:06:48
I have to redo it. So I'll do it out
1:06:50
of LAX. I go LAX to Vegas, LAX to Vegas,
1:06:52
LAX to Vegas. I go six free takeoffs. One, two,
1:06:54
three, four, five, six. One, two, three, four, five, six.
1:06:56
One, two, three, four, five, six. One, two, five, six.
1:06:58
Get me there. One, two, three, five, six, six, eight
1:07:00
landings. And then one more time for good luck. One,
1:07:03
two, three. And then I circle myself in
1:07:07
safety. I then circle my daughters, our animals,
1:07:09
and Leanne. I circle our house. I do Cottie,
1:07:11
her husband, and their two kids, their two
1:07:13
dogs. I circle their house. I do my
1:07:15
sister and her boyfriend. Circle their house. I do
1:07:17
my parents. I circle their house. I
1:07:19
circle then the whole group of all of us. And then
1:07:22
I come in and I circle me and I land in
1:07:24
the center of my head. And then I
1:07:26
know I'm ready to fly. And then I say a prayer.
1:07:28
I kiss my checklist front and back,
1:07:30
and then I rinse off and I'm ready to
1:07:32
fly. Oh my
1:07:35
God. Have you told a
1:07:37
doctor? No, that's pretty crazy.
1:07:42
That is pretty crazy. You've never
1:07:44
told a doctor this. No, no, no, no.
1:07:46
That is pretty crazy. When I said it
1:07:48
out loud, it makes so much sense in
1:07:51
my head. That's wild that you
1:07:53
have the whole fit. First of all,
1:07:55
the counting, the washing. the
1:08:00
kissing the necklace front and back. My
1:08:02
whole body, including my toes, have to be covered
1:08:05
in soap. Shampoo, and I soap
1:08:07
every part of my body. You're like combining
1:08:09
every kind of OCD into one
1:08:11
ritual. Yeah. That's wild.
1:08:13
And then I would put on a pair of fry boots,
1:08:16
a pair of jeans, I wore these jeans to the concert
1:08:18
the other day for the first time in 13 years. I
1:08:21
haven't worn these jeans in 13 years. It's a
1:08:23
pair of Gap Boot Cut 1969 jeans. Yep.
1:08:26
I wore, I would wear. I remember those jeans. I
1:08:29
remember my ex wearing those jeans. They
1:08:32
still fit me. Yeah. Really, they've
1:08:34
changed jeans. This is all true classics. Yeah. And
1:08:36
they've changed jeans. Jeans are stretchy now, and they're so much
1:08:39
more comfortable. They're so great. They're so much more comfortable. I'm
1:08:41
so glad they made stretchy jeans for men. Oh,
1:08:43
I can't imagine they'd ever go back. You
1:08:46
would never. There's no reason to ever go
1:08:48
back. I would
1:08:50
wear that, and then there was a
1:08:52
company out of Philadelphia that made shirts
1:08:54
that were the bag tags back
1:08:57
in the day. So to have the call letters
1:08:59
of the like ATL, and then it would be
1:09:01
the ticket. I'd wear those shirts and a Gap
1:09:03
Sweat shirt with a vest. Yeah. I
1:09:05
would fly in that every fucking
1:09:09
day. Every fucking flight was in one,
1:09:11
that outfit, a variation of that outfit,
1:09:13
all through Travel Channel, all
1:09:15
through Young Touring, and then, and
1:09:17
then, and then Segura called
1:09:20
me, and I was really weird with rituals, in that
1:09:22
you could get me out of my ritual, but you
1:09:24
had to convince me. Yeah. Segura called me,
1:09:26
and I was gaining weight, and he was like, are you
1:09:28
still wearing jeans on your flights? I said, yeah, and he goes, have you
1:09:30
ever thought about sweatpants? And I said, no, and he goes, I'm gonna send
1:09:32
you a pair, and he sent me a pair, and
1:09:35
I tried him, because he let me, and I've never been
1:09:37
back to jeans. Okay. and
1:09:40
now I just fly in it. But were you freaked out on that flight?
1:09:43
Terrified. It went down. No, no, no,
1:09:45
I lived. I lived, I lived, I lived. I've
1:09:48
had, I've had, I can tell you. And I switched to
1:09:50
sweatpants, and the plane went down. I can tell
1:09:52
you, I can tell you, there's
1:09:54
only been one time, I
1:09:57
didn't do all my rituals. There's only
1:09:59
been one time. that I've flown and
1:10:01
I didn't do my ritual. And what happened? It
1:10:04
was actually one of the best flights of my life. We
1:10:07
were in Ireland, I was with, we used to do this for
1:10:10
Jameson, and I got fucking
1:10:12
wasted that night, and I woke up
1:10:15
like 30 minutes late for the bus to leave,
1:10:17
and I didn't have time and I hadn't packed. And
1:10:20
I went into the shower and I was like, I don't have time for it. I
1:10:22
was like, fuck it, I gotta go home, I guess I'm gonna die. Jesus.
1:10:26
And I was like, I just started drinking. Did
1:10:28
this all happen before, let me ask you this, did this
1:10:30
happen before you had kids? Yeah. Really?
1:10:34
Yeah. Because I've never been
1:10:36
a nervous flier ever, never
1:10:38
worried about it, was always just kind of like, if I
1:10:41
die, I've had a good run,
1:10:43
whatever. When
1:10:45
I said goodbye to Andy and Minnow, I
1:10:47
was like, I'm gonna, I
1:10:49
had to hurl myself into the fucking Uber, first of
1:10:51
all. I had to throw my, Andy
1:10:54
was like, get out, go. Like you gotta
1:10:56
go, the Uber's waiting. I was like crying on her
1:10:58
face, her face is all fucking wet. I
1:11:00
hurl myself into the Uber. And
1:11:02
as I'm leaving, I was like,
1:11:06
because I haven't felt this
1:11:09
kind of emotion before in my life, I
1:11:11
was like, I'm gonna die. I was like, I'm
1:11:13
gonna die today. That's why I'm so sad. And
1:11:16
it wasn't like, I wasn't like, oh, I just had a kid
1:11:18
and maybe it's opened my heart a little bit. I
1:11:21
was like, if I'm getting this emotional, I'm probably gonna
1:11:23
die. It was
1:11:25
like really horrifying. Because there are people
1:11:27
that, like there's people that didn't wanna go
1:11:29
on the plane at 9-11. That's what
1:11:31
I'm saying. I started thinking about them.
1:11:34
And I was like, this is it. I think about them all the
1:11:36
time. I think about them all the time, yes. There was
1:11:38
someone going, I don't know, man. There was
1:11:41
someone that was like, there's a lot of brown people on this
1:11:43
flight. There was someone that thought that. Yeah.
1:11:46
And then as they hijacked, it was like, I should have
1:11:48
listened. I shut up fucking, I
1:11:50
got off a plane. There were people that were worried
1:11:52
about getting to work on time. I got
1:11:55
off a plane in Amarillo.
1:11:58
I didn't get off off. Yeah, I
1:12:03
This is when I was worst at my flying and
1:12:05
the worst was when I first started headlining and I
1:12:07
was flying a lot And I
1:12:10
flew into Amarillo. There was a collab called
1:12:12
the MRO comedy club that Casey. I
1:12:14
forgot Stacey Mora
1:12:16
Stacey Moran and
1:12:19
the Moran brothers Kevin Stacey and I
1:12:22
forget the other guy's name and
1:12:25
I Had partied
1:12:27
I didn't this one. I didn't realize that alcohol
1:12:29
was not good for you the next morning with
1:12:31
anxiety. Yeah, I partied really
1:12:33
hard barely got any sleep got to the got to the
1:12:35
airport and Didn't and
1:12:38
the bars were closed and I was like, oh fuck
1:12:40

1:12:42
I Was like you're gonna
1:12:44

1:13:58
to point out that I had OCD. I I
1:14:00
think I my daughters have it too to a
1:14:02
small I used to put booby traps around the house
1:14:06
Cool like hang skateboards on door
1:14:08
handles For fun. No so
1:14:10
that if someone broke into the house, I'd hear that.
1:14:12
Okay, but did it ever like hurt your kids? No,
1:14:16
but if I ever walked
1:14:18
in the front door of my house and a skateboard fell
1:14:20
on my head because my dad was trying To protect the
1:14:23
family. I Would
1:14:26
call a lawyer Myself as
1:14:29
a minor I'd call one of his friends

1:14:35
go you die any anyway No,
1:14:37
but you I don't want to die. I will die
1:14:40
anyway. I don't want to die at the hand of
1:14:42
not being prepared But you
1:14:44
could die because a skateboard fell on
1:14:46
your head from a booby trap that
1:14:48
you that you set up I
1:14:50
would set booby traps up around
1:14:52
the house on every door every
1:14:55
door. Okay, every door had
1:14:57
a skateboard on it Okay, Kevin McAllister It
1:15:04

1:15:06
like, oh this is really crazy Like
1:15:10

1:15:13
like a bucket with like hot
1:15:15
oil and feathers and
1:15:17
just like a basket of feathers They should
1:15:19
make that fucking movie of they did I
1:15:21
guess home alone to New York Just
1:15:24
a bunch of OCD like like some villains try
1:15:26
to break into an insane asylum. It's all people
1:15:28
those And
1:15:30
they're like, we're back to been waiting for this. Yeah Yeah,
1:15:32
or just a second or just like a remake
1:15:34
of home alone where the end Kevin
1:15:37
McAllister gets treated for severe
1:15:39
OCD Oh the worst the
1:15:41
worst I ever my OCD ever got. Oh This
1:15:44
was the worst And
1:15:47
this was when I was powerless to it and I
1:15:49
and I Like out of all
1:15:51
the times in my life where like I talk about like, you
1:15:53
know, the Oxy
1:15:56
and Xanax and yeah, but even fully loaded
1:15:58
when I was part at my most.
1:16:01
The one time I was truly out
1:16:03
of control was I had a
1:16:05
one night stand, my only one night stand I've
1:16:08
ever had, maybe I had two, but like a
1:16:10
real legit one night stand and
1:16:12
I convinced myself I had every venereal
1:16:14
disease in the world. And it
1:16:17
rose, but if you think I'm crazy now, every
1:16:20
night ended with me smoking
1:16:23
a joint drinking a 40 of 8
1:16:26
ball with my dick
1:16:28
and balls and a bowl of white vinegar watching
1:16:34
Quantum Leap. Okay, well that's just how you
1:16:36
cure a yeast infection. So I've been there.
1:16:38
Well that, because I didn't, and then I
1:16:40
got so bad, I got so bad because
1:16:43
I was obsessed, I became
1:16:45
obsessive about it that I would
1:16:48
look at my dick and balls maybe, I'm
1:16:50
not even joking, maybe
1:16:52
80 times a day. I
1:16:54
would just go to the bathroom and go to the bathroom and go
1:16:56
to the bathroom and then I started putting all these home remedies, the
1:16:58
internet wasn't big then, it was right when I moved to New York.
1:17:01
The internet wasn't what it is today. She was
1:17:03
like taking out books from the library. I was
1:17:05
spraying tenactin on my dick and
1:17:07
balls every fucking day, probably 20
1:17:09
times a day. That burns, right?
1:17:11
It burned so bad. By
1:17:13
the time I got to a doctor, he was like,
1:17:16
whoa, what are you doing? And I
1:17:18
was like, I'm soaking it in white vinegar every night
1:17:20
for about an hour. I'm covering it. I'm covering it
1:17:22
in tenactin and I've tried some other home remedies like
1:17:25
baking soda and white vinegar. He was like, for what?
1:17:27
And I go, I think I got something and he
1:17:29
goes, you're giving it to yourself? And
1:17:32
I was like, no, I'm pretty sure
1:17:34
I have something. And he was like, all
1:17:37
I see is a lot of trauma to the
1:17:39
area. And
1:17:41
I was like, do
1:17:43
I have something? And he goes, no,
1:17:45
because you have nothing, but you're killing
1:17:47
yourself right now. And
1:17:49
my grandmother gave that
1:17:51
day, I went to the doctor
1:17:54
and I came home and my grandmother gave me this
1:17:56
necklace with St. Jude on it. And
1:17:58
he should say it of what? lost causes. Oh,
1:18:00
God. Yeah. And like your venereal disease.
1:18:03
And why was the lost cause I
1:18:05
was lost cause I was hopeless. I
1:18:07
had no fucking end in
1:18:09
sight. My grandmother sitting on my dad's
1:18:11
like out back my dad's house. She drinking
1:18:13
vodka on the rocks. And she
1:18:15
said, and randomly no one knew I
1:18:18
was going through this. I went to my
1:18:20
mom's dermatologist that day. And he
1:18:22
was like, you got to let it go. You gotta
1:18:24
let it go. He's like, I think what
1:18:26
you're dealing with is like a little obsessive compulsiveness. I was
1:18:28
like, no, it's something real. Right. He was like, it's in
1:18:31
your head. He goes, you gotta let it go. And and
1:18:35
so I went home and my
1:18:37
grandmother's drinking vodka on the rocks. And
1:18:39
she said, Did
1:18:42
you tell her that you had burned your dick and
1:18:44
balls off? Anybody, I didn't tell anybody.
1:18:47
And that was like part of my secret. Yeah,
1:18:49
that I wasn't telling anybody. Yeah, like I and
1:18:51
it was like festering. Yeah. And it's all I
1:18:53
could think about. Oh, and
1:18:56
I said, my grandmother goes, I feel like
1:18:58
you're, I feel like you're lost. And
1:19:00
I was like, grandma, you have no fucking
1:19:02
idea. She didn't know
1:19:04
what I was talking about. Your dick is, your
1:19:06
dick is underneath covered
1:19:09
in transactions. Screaming
1:19:13
at you. I was
1:19:15
so bad. I was so bad. Dick
1:19:17
is like, he's lost. Killing
1:19:20
me. He's fucking killing
1:19:23
me. And I, I,
1:19:25
my grandmother said, I feel
1:19:27
like you're lost. And I want to help you. And
1:19:29
I was like, grandma, there's no help for this. I
1:19:31
was drinking with her. Yeah, she said, she said,
1:19:34
I got you something. And she gave
1:19:36
me I have I have actually saw
1:19:38
the card, gave me the card for St. Jude and
1:19:40
gave me the necklace. And she goes, wear this. She
1:19:42
said this. It's so funny. I still think about this.
1:19:45
She goes, even if you're making love, keep
1:19:47
it on. Keep it on. He protects you.
1:19:50
He's the pain. And by the way, every
1:19:52
time I, my necklace hits Leanne, I think
1:19:54
of my grandmother. Oh my God. I'm having
1:19:56
sex with Leanne. I think of my grandmother.
1:19:58
Oh my God. I swear to God. Oh
1:20:01
my God. I swear to God. Do
1:20:03
you think of your grandmother calling you a
1:20:06
lost cause? No, she, her going keep it
1:20:08
on. And
1:20:10
she, and she said, she goes, anytime you
1:20:12
feel lost. And I was like, grandma, you
1:20:15
have no idea how many times that is
1:20:17
a day. Yeah. She goes, anytime
1:20:19
you feel lost, turn the prayer card around,
1:20:21
say a prayer to St. Jude to help you find your way.
1:20:24
And I was like, grandma, she was like, do it. And
1:20:27
anytime you start feeling lost, you say a prayer to
1:20:29
St. Jude, read the prayer. And
1:20:32
by the first, by
1:20:34
that night, I had the prayer memorized. I'd said it so many times.
1:20:36
So I was like, all right, anytime I want to look at my
1:20:38
dick, I'm going to pull up the card, I'm going to read the
1:20:41
prayer. And I said, and I had the card memorized. I
1:20:43
went to a widespread panic concert that
1:20:46
weekend. I went back to New York. And
1:20:49
by the time I got back to New York, I
1:20:51
was cured. I was like, fine.
1:20:53
Can I just say that the advice
1:20:55
that you got from your grandparents
1:20:59
is so different from any advice that
1:21:01
I got from anyone in my family?
1:21:03
What was the advice that I would
1:21:05
get from my grandparents? I
1:21:08
think one of the things that I was
1:21:10
told was if you want to know
1:21:12
if somebody's lying, just
1:21:15
let them talk. Which was like,
1:21:19
that's not advice that I need. I'm like eight.
1:21:21
You know what I mean? They
1:21:23
would give me interrogation advice, interrogating
1:21:26
your enemies. But it was never
1:21:28
like, hey, pray for this,
1:21:30
or this will protect you. It was
1:21:32
always like, if somebody's
1:21:34
lying, look them in the
1:21:37
eyes and just let them talk. They'll
1:21:40
expose themselves after a certain period. I'm
1:21:42
like, what the fuck is this? I
1:21:45
came into a world with the weirdest
1:21:47
set of tools, nothing I could use.
1:21:49
Yeah. That's crazy. It was
1:21:51
like the fucking 48 Laws of Power
1:21:54
kind of shit. It was just in the
1:21:56
movie, Fire Was Over the Killing Moon. When

1:23:23
think so. I really love to see like,
1:23:26
Kevin Iso is a comic. He's a New York
1:23:28
comic. Pull him up. I might
1:23:30
follow him. I think he
1:23:32
just went on the road with Ari for a little while. Oh
1:23:35
really? But he's one of the
1:23:37
funniest motherfuckers. And he literally sent me,
1:23:40
he sent me a text of myself from like two
1:23:42
years ago on my way here to
1:23:44
LA. And he goes, this is from before you got fat.
1:23:46
I was like, I
1:23:48
hope you drown. Like
1:23:51
he's just, he's
1:23:53
one of the funniest guys I know. And I
1:23:56
feel like you'd really. I already love rich
1:23:58
trans kids. This joke. is great. Really
1:24:00
we play it. Can we hear it? By
1:24:04
the way, by the way, take a pivot. So
1:24:07
everyone knows your grandfather was a
1:24:10
senator or something. Secretary of State. Secretary of
1:24:12
State. Yeah. My uncle was,
1:24:16
it was
1:24:18
a really big lobbyist.
1:24:20
Yeah. And I texted him
1:24:22
before this started. I just thought this would be cool to share
1:24:24
with you. I
1:24:27
said, you knew James Baker, right? And
1:24:29
he wrote, yes, for years. He's probably
1:24:31
the most gifted public servant of the
1:24:34
last quarter century of the 20th century.
1:24:36
Most importantly, he's a truly decent man,
1:24:38
always kind, always generous. Yeah.
1:24:40
Cool to hear about someone you're related to.
1:24:42
Yeah. I'm the
1:24:47
other day. I'm sitting with his
1:24:49
dumb granddaughter right now. Oh, hold
1:24:53
on. So she's mentally handicapped
1:24:57
and mean. I'm good friends with
1:24:59
his granddaughter. Fuck, I didn't voice text
1:25:01
it. I'm good friends with
1:25:04
his granddaughter who is a hilarious comedian.
1:25:07
So nice to hear these words. I
1:25:10
texted some guy
1:25:12
texted me and he was like, Hey, you're going to be in.
1:25:17
I put this on my stories. He goes, Hey, you're
1:25:19
going to be in Stockton in
1:25:23
January. I would love to bring the
1:25:25
Diaz brothers and some friends to show.
1:25:27
Would that be cool? Yeah. And
1:25:30
I voice texted Absafuckin
1:25:32
Lutely and
1:25:34
it translated. Jesus Christ.
1:25:38
I'm so lonely. Did you
1:25:50
just leave it? I
1:25:52
would have just left it.
1:25:55
I'm so lonely. You
1:26:03
can't correct that because
1:26:05
honestly, you have to
1:26:08
just leave it. You should have just left it.
1:26:11
I'm so happy. So
1:26:13
is that a yes? You
1:26:17
just let the person deal with that
1:26:19
information. I fucking, the
1:26:22
best part of the whole fucking
1:26:24
thing was I texted, hold on,
1:26:27
this is even funnier. I
1:26:29
texted Tommy that day. I
1:26:32
texted Tommy and, hold
1:26:35
on, oh fuck. I
1:26:38
texted Tommy and he
1:26:40
wrote back, hold on, this is
1:26:42
so good. Oh fuck.
1:26:46
I texted, oh, hey, are we
1:26:48
going to hang out on the 23rd and 24th in Austin?
1:26:53
I fly in, I drive in on the 22nd,
1:26:55
but I'd love to spend some time with you.
1:26:58
And he wrote, I'm so fucking lonely. I
1:27:05
couldn't stop laughing. It's
1:27:10
so funny. I
1:27:12
love when boys, do you tell this story on stage?
1:27:15
No, no. That's so good. I want
1:27:17
to, there's, I want to
1:27:19
fucking, I'm so fucking lonely.
1:27:22
I'm trying to respond to every text you
1:27:24
ever send with I'm so
1:27:26
fucking lonely. I'm
1:27:29
trying to write shorter jokes. I'm
1:27:32
trying to write shorter, quick jokes. Right
1:27:35
now that's like the, my process is I
1:27:37
do the big, big stories and then
1:27:39
I try to hammer in a bunch of little
1:27:42
jokes. And
1:27:44
I had, I,
1:27:47
Louis one time said, I love
1:27:49
to go back to my old joke books. I've lost a lot
1:27:51
of old joke books, which I fucking stay up at night thinking
1:27:53
about this. Yeah. But
1:27:57
I found there was a period
1:27:59
of time. I don't know what, I thought I had
1:28:01
a brain tumor, but I
1:28:03
was having wild fucking dreams, wild fucking
1:28:05
dreams. And I was recording them every
1:28:07
morning, they were that crazy. And
1:28:10
I have 35 of them that I found yesterday in
1:28:12
an old computer. And I clicked
1:28:14
on one and it was a dream. And
1:28:17
I can't believe I had this
1:28:19
dream because it was
1:28:21
so, it was,
1:28:23
this is how crazy my brain was when I
1:28:25
was sleeping and my dreams I was having. I
1:28:28
had a dream and I wanna turn
1:28:30
this, I wanna do this into a bit or
1:28:32
like really tighten it into like a four sentence,
1:28:34
a four word sentence that is the
1:28:36
bit. But I had
1:28:39
a dream one time that I was on stage
1:28:42
in front of an audience, candle
1:28:44
lit front stage, right? Old
1:28:46
school and I look over and there's four dudes
1:28:48
in Klan outfits. And then I looked
1:28:51
down and I realized I'm in a Klan outfit, but my
1:28:53
mask is up so you can see my face. And everyone
1:28:55
in the audience is black. And I'm like, holy shit, what
1:28:57
the fuck am I doing here? And
1:28:59
all of a sudden the voice goes, ladies and gentlemen,
1:29:01
please put your hands together for the Click Clack Klan.
1:29:04
And we all started tap dancing. No. I
1:29:06
swear to God, I swear to God. What the fuck?
1:29:08
And I had a dream. It's
1:29:11
more creative than I really am. That
1:29:14
I had a dream that I was in the Click
1:29:16
Clack Klan and we were a tap dance group and
1:29:18
we were so fucking good. And as we were tap
1:29:20
dancing, our robes were like, like waving
1:29:23
up and down and the place was
1:29:25
mesmerized. They were mesmerized. And
1:29:29
that's crazy. I had wild
1:29:31
dreams. I haven't listened to all
1:29:34
of them. I had wild dreams. I had
1:29:36
one dream. This is the dream that, I
1:29:38
had one dream that really fucked me
1:29:40
up. It was the dream that started it. It
1:29:42
was about my buddy killing himself. And
1:29:44
I woke up sobbing, crying, woke up sobbing.
1:29:46
I started crying asleep. Isn't that crazy? That
1:29:48
actually happened to me like two weeks ago.
1:29:51
Wait, what was your dream? I
1:29:53
think it was my mom died.
1:29:56
My mom died and I had to,
1:29:58
it was like an assisted suicide. And
1:30:00
I had to help my mom kill herself.
1:30:03
How? I don't know.
1:30:05
All I remember is there was like a plug, even
1:30:07
though that's not how it works. Like you have to be
1:30:09
on life support to. Oh, they don't actually pull the plug? I
1:30:13
think with assisted suicide, it's not, there's no
1:30:15
plug, right? Wait, do they click a switch? I
1:30:17
don't know. I feel like you have to be
1:30:20
on life support for an unplugging to
1:30:22
occur. I feel like assisted suicide,
1:30:25
there's like a needle involved or something. But
1:30:27
in this dream, she, well,
1:30:30
it's really more of a nightmare since I woke
1:30:32
up sobbing, but she was full,
1:30:35
she was like on life support, even though
1:30:37
she was, maybe it was just like she was plugged
1:30:39
in and that meant she was alive. So
1:30:42
I unplugged, but I had to say goodbye to
1:30:44
her. And I think it was like, you
1:30:46
know, people talk about pregnancy dreams. I never had a single dream
1:30:49
when I was pregnant. No, because I've
1:30:51
been sleep deprived for like five years. So
1:30:53
I just don't dream. I'm like too tired
1:30:55
to form a new memory and I don't
1:30:57
dream. My dreams are fucking awesome. I wish
1:30:59
I had dreams, but I had
1:31:01
this, and I woke up full sobbing,
1:31:03
screaming. And it's like the
1:31:05
worst feeling in the world. I was like, what
1:31:08
the fuck is going on? And then I kept going back to
1:31:10
sleep and I couldn't get out of the dream. I kept like
1:31:12
going back into it. I had
1:31:15
a dream one time, Stacy, you
1:31:18
guys know Stacy, it works for
1:31:20
us. You remember Stacy? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:31:22
Totally loaded, Jewish. Yeah. Kind of frizzy
1:31:24
hair. Yeah. Yeah. She
1:31:26
was logged in my brain as Jewish. Yeah, very Jewish.
1:31:29
Yeah. Very Jewish. Yeah. And
1:31:32
so she, I
1:31:34
had a dream one time where
1:31:36
she was in
1:31:38
our office at our old company we worked
1:31:40
for. And she was at her cubicle
1:31:43
and she stood up and she goes, is anybody going
1:31:45
to temple? And I was
1:31:47
like, what the fuck? She's like, hey,
1:31:49
is anybody going to temple? And
1:31:52
I was like, Stacy, calm down. She's like, stop. Is
1:31:54
anybody going to temple? Are
1:31:57
we going to temple? That's why
1:31:59
I walked over. You got a lot of fucking race
1:32:02
related anti-Semitic dreams. It gets
1:32:04
worse. Oh my God. And
1:32:07
so listen, if you're pro-Israel, stop listening now.
1:32:09
And so I go over to
1:32:11
Stacy and I go, Stacy, you got to calm the
1:32:13
fuck down. And all of a sudden the dude in
1:32:16
khakis and a white shirt stands in between us. He
1:32:18
goes, Hey, wake up. You'll
1:32:20
get it. And I wake up and
1:32:23
Stacy at times pregnant with her first son, Daniel.
1:32:26
And I go to tell
1:32:28
him my dream. She goes, I want to hear your stupid fucking dream. And
1:32:31
so I call Stacy and it's early kids
1:32:33
should be up or shoot. No, she
1:32:35
just had Daniel. And so I go
1:32:37
to call Stacy and as the
1:32:39
phone rings, she goes, hello, our cat
1:32:41
walks in the room and goes, Oh
1:32:45
my God. My
1:32:49
brain had heard the cat and then just translated
1:32:51
to a Jewish chick going, is
1:32:53
anybody going to a cat ball? Oh,
1:32:55
yeah. Burt. I
1:32:57
have, but I found 35 of these dreams. And
1:33:01
by the way, they got, and you're like, and
1:33:03
I'm by the way, I'm going to tell you every single one
1:33:05
on the podcast. I'm going to, I'm
1:33:07
going to listen to all of them. What's
1:33:10
funny is that you start listening to a dream and then you go, I
1:33:12
remember having the dream. I
1:33:14
don't remember anything. I think there should be a
1:33:17
podcast because I listen to podcasts. Well, absolutely not
1:33:19
be a podcast for this. A
1:33:21
hundred percent. No. Hear me out. You
1:33:24
haven't heard my pitch. You're going to hear me almost choke on my
1:33:26
own spit, but go ahead. The
1:33:29
dream, the dream podcast would be a
1:33:32
podcast where very soothing voice.
1:33:35
One of the guys who do is my history podcast and
1:33:38
he's like, uh, and,
1:33:41
and they, they get you relaxed. They calm
1:33:43
you down. They then kind of like right
1:33:46
around the time you would should fall asleep like five
1:33:48
minutes in, they start going in and out of talking
1:33:51
where it's moments of silence. So you fall asleep.
1:33:54
And then once you're asleep about seven minutes
1:33:56
in, they go, all right, we're in now
1:33:59
real quick. You're in a room full of weapons.
1:34:01
Which weapon will you pick around you
1:34:03
as a mace a sword a knife
1:34:06
a gun? Pick wisely we're
1:34:08
fighting dragons The most horrifying and then and
1:34:11
then you are in there so I had
1:34:13
a dream There's nothing relaxing about you trying
1:34:15
to pick a sword and a gun and
1:34:17
a knife and then but then they guide
1:34:19
your dreams And then you do product placements
1:34:22
inside the reason I came up with this
1:34:24
is I was I'm tired of talking I
1:34:27
I Took
1:34:30
I took I had a One
1:34:32
time on the road and I was getting sick and they gave me a
1:34:35
bunch of night quill and put me in a hotel Room and I woke
1:34:37
up and as I woke up I
1:34:39
was like I'd listen to a podcast history podcast and
1:34:42
I was like I fucking want a pop tart and
1:34:45
I ordered Like nine boxes
1:34:47
of pop tarts to be delivered to my house. Yeah, I
1:34:49
was like fucking pop tarts I've been sleeping on pop tarts.
1:34:51
They're fucking great that night I get in the bunk and
1:34:53
get ready to go to bed upon the history podcast. It's
1:34:56
a history of pop tarts I
1:34:58
had listened to dreaming and woke up wanting
1:35:01
a pop tart and I was like fuck
1:35:03
man That's product placement if true classic if
1:35:05
true classic really wants to sell you out
1:35:07
gear They should sell to you while you're
1:35:09
sleeping in your dreams real quick in this
1:35:11
room is a sword But first put on
1:35:13
your true classic cash me a sweater It's
1:35:16
off to the touch. It's just as good
1:35:18
as any cashmere, but it's form-fitting You look
1:35:20
good in the nice soft gray with this
1:35:22
stretchy pants. We'll need stretchy jeans in this
1:35:24
room. But my question to you is Do
1:35:28
you listen to podcasts that actually
1:35:30
relax you I listened it I
1:35:32
listen to I can't I get Infuriated when
1:35:34
I hear a soft calming voice on
1:35:36
a podcast I've only been infuriated at
1:35:39
one podcast and it really shined back
1:35:41
on how bad of a podcaster I
1:35:43
am Because I don't let
1:35:45
people finish stories Like I interrupt people and I tell
1:35:47
my story even when they tell their story I tell
1:35:49
I try to like Go story. That's
1:35:51
kind of just like the flow of a conversation. It's just
1:35:54
it is I listen to with
1:35:56
love I say this with love.
1:35:58
I say this into a
1:36:00
podcast on the plane that
1:36:02
gave me an anxiety attack. It was
1:36:04
Legion of Skanks with Martin Skrilly. Oh,
1:36:08
I haven't listened to that. It's a
1:36:11
great podcast because it's funny, but I was really
1:36:13
curious about Martin Skrilly. Yeah. And they'd ask a
1:36:15
great question. And then whatever he said, the whole
1:36:18
room would tag, you know, Big J, right? And
1:36:20
fucking everyone's in there. Shane was on it. Yeah.
1:36:22
Every day. I saw a clip from it. Dave
1:36:24
Smith's on it. Yeah. And so they tag with
1:36:27
like fucking nine because they're playing for the audience.
1:36:29
Right. It was a live podcast. So they're playing
1:36:31
for the audience. So again, last, but I wanted
1:36:33
to hear Martin Skrilly's answers. Yeah. And then I
1:36:36
was like, Oh my God, that's what all my
1:36:38
podcasts sound like. I
1:36:40
was like, why am I what I need to just
1:36:42
go to Legion of Skanks? Yeah, I'm good at interrupting
1:36:45
too. Well, that's what that's what standups
1:36:47
do is we talk over each other because we're waiting
1:36:49
to get a bit off. You know what I mean? But I feel like,
1:36:51
which by the way, I do want to show you this joke. Oh yeah,
1:36:53
yeah, yeah. It's not my joke, but I want to show you this joke.
1:36:55
All right. Um, before I forget,
1:36:58
Kevin Iso. Kevin Iso. Every
1:37:00
time I see a teenager transitioning
1:37:02
and their parents be cool with it, I just
1:37:04
go, Oh, y'all must be richest folks. That's the
1:37:06
only thought I have. Because I know my
1:37:10
dad would have never let me transition into a girl while
1:37:12
I still have boy clothes that fit. So
1:37:18
you ain't think to tell
1:37:20
me you was feeling this
1:37:23
way before I bought all
1:37:25
these LeBron James jerseys. Dwight
1:37:28
Howard jerseys is right there. I could've just got down, but
1:37:30
you want to play. That's
1:37:37
great. He's so good. There's
1:37:40
nothing better than like, Kevin's
1:37:42
fucking great. Like young
1:37:44
standups who like, uh, I
1:37:47
was on the bus with the, I forget who
1:37:49
I was with. Like Moses storm. I
1:37:51
enjoy watching him perform in
1:37:54
a, in a, in the same way that I
1:37:56
enjoyed watching Chappelle when I was young, where I
1:37:58
go, whoo, his brain. Not
1:38:00
tethered. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever the fuck you
1:38:02
want. Yeah, he's doing things that he doesn't know
1:38:05
He doesn't know what boundary he's pushing in front
1:38:07
of these people. He doesn't even realize that's a
1:38:10
boundary to them Yeah, he just is fearless. I
1:38:12
love watching He said he one time he did
1:38:14
this show we're in like Toronto or Vancouver and
1:38:16
he did something on stage It was so wildly
1:38:19
unpredictable that it was tough to follow and and
1:38:21
and they're my audience Yeah, and I and then
1:38:23
at the end he came up to me and
1:38:25
he was like he was like, hey I'm
1:38:27
sorry that I did that like I didn't want to fuck
1:38:30
up the vibe that even he noticed that like Yeah, it
1:38:32
was tough to follow him and I was like
1:38:34
and he's like I won't do that again I go. No, no, no,
1:38:36

1:38:38
if I if I can't follow it that's
1:38:40

1:38:42
best you can because that's what I enjoy watching. Well,
1:38:44

1:38:47
so fucking funny. He was Hard
1:38:50
he's the one that introduced me to he's the one
1:38:52
that introduced me to the comic that I just told
1:38:54
you about He named all the comics. Yeah Impossible
1:38:58
to follow Impossible I like
1:39:00
at the seller when it the short sets and
1:39:02

1:39:05

1:39:09
gets so mad at how badly they were doing
1:39:11
wait It was Andy. It was a he went
1:39:13
he did so he got so mad at how
1:39:16
badly he was doing he was like, oh, I'm sorry

Did you want me to talk like this? Like
1:39:20
he got he like lost it like I was like, oh my
1:39:23
god Daniel I like Daniel
1:39:25
someone when we talk about like just
1:39:28
just straight joke writing. Yeah, such a great joke writer I
1:39:30
said, I said to him I go I want to know
1:39:32
about your family I don't know about the village you grew
1:39:34
up and he goes I didn't grow up in a village
1:39:38
I assumed you grew up in a fucking Sing
1:39:41
songy accent. Yeah, like any and
1:39:43
but he is so fun to hang with
1:39:45
yeah Because he's he was
1:39:48
really curious about like everything Any
1:39:51
and you know, he's you know, he like won an award In
1:39:55
Europe that was like that like he would have been set
1:39:57
like he never had to come to America he
1:39:59
could he won some award in Europe where
1:40:01
like if you win it, you're
1:40:03
made, your career is made. And
1:40:05
he took that award and just moved to
1:40:07
New York and just started over.
1:40:11
Like he's that good of a comic
1:40:13
where it's like, he just loves
1:40:16
comedy. He wants to get really
1:40:18
fucking good in a fucking show. Do you know
1:40:20
how that started with him? He
1:40:25
was in Vegas at the seller when
1:40:27
we were doing Vegas. And
1:40:29
someone was like, have you
1:40:32
ever seen Daniel Slauson? I was like, no. And
1:40:34
then like you should bring him out.
1:40:36
He's really funny. So we have him do like 10 minutes.
1:40:40
And he came out for fully loaded in Vegas and he
1:40:42
was so good. I was like, dude, whatever date you want,
1:40:44
we'll bring you out for any of them. And he was like, I
1:40:47
wouldn't mind going through your land. And
1:40:50
so we brought him out for the gorge. He's
1:40:53
really talented. There's so many talented comics
1:40:56
right now that what? Daniel
1:41:00
Simonson. Who's Daniel Slaus? Daniel
1:41:03
Slaus is a, he's, he's another great
1:41:06
comic. He's from where Ireland?
1:41:08
England. I know Daniel Slaus. I know
1:41:11
Daniel Slaus very well. Yeah, I thought so.
1:41:13
Okay. I know Daniel Slaus very well. Yes.
1:41:15
Those fucking the European comics are so there's
1:41:17
so many comics that gave
1:41:19
me like a chance to like open for it. Like do
1:41:21
a set. He was just one of those comics where I
1:41:24
was like, Oh shit, I want, I really want
1:41:26
him to like my set. Yeah. He's man.
1:41:29
It's like, it's frustrating. It's frustrating because
1:41:31
you see all these great comics and then every
1:41:33
now and then you see like a stinker put
1:41:35
out a special. Yeah. And you go, ah, there
1:41:38
should be some threshold because you
1:41:40
know, like there should be some, but
1:41:42
that's the thing. It's like you get these
1:41:44
like people that don't, they
1:41:46
do the first draft every time and the
1:41:49
first draft works because there's, there's
1:41:51
people that are like, yeah, I love that. That's
1:41:54
funny, but they don't, they don't, and
1:41:56
it doesn't matter. I'm not saying like you should be
1:41:58
a comedy snob or anything. Like it's like, Comedy's for
1:42:00
whoever laughs at it. Whatever
1:42:03
makes you laugh. There's people I really
1:42:05
enjoy watching that people aren't fans of
1:42:07
that I go, oh, that's so funny.
1:42:10
I don't get that. Yeah. But I
1:42:12
feel like there's so many of
1:42:14
us that try to go
1:42:17
a little deeper, you
1:42:19
know what I mean? That
1:42:21
try to get to the next level
1:42:23
of it. I always
1:42:25
try to get to at least like
1:42:27
a third draft of a joke because I'm
1:42:30
not somebody that like the, you know, I
1:42:32
don't come off with like the most brilliant shit
1:42:34
right away. I go like and I were
1:42:37
even the last iteration of it.
1:42:39
But but like, you know what
1:42:42
I'm saying? I'm not like a tell where it's like he says
1:42:44
something. What was it? He was
1:42:46
like talking about outdoor dining in New
1:42:49
York and he was like, I feel like I'm in a manger. It's
1:42:52
like that's so funny right off the,
1:42:54
you know, but he is. He's
1:42:57
my favorite. Yeah, without a doubt. Everybody's
1:43:00
favorite. He's my favorite favorite. He's so
1:43:02
good. Yeah, I love it. Tell.
1:43:05
I love man. I love that.
1:43:07
I don't know. But my favorite part
1:43:10
about comics is the when this ends, the
1:43:12
gossip session. We do. I
1:43:14
love that. I know. I love
1:43:16
that too. Like it's been so fun. Like when
1:43:18
I ran into Fluffy, I ran into Fluffy at
1:43:20
the Eagles. We were both the Eagles and we're
1:43:23
in the Forum Club, like which is, you know, you're
1:43:25
looking for celebrities. But then and but there weren't any
1:43:28
real celebrities. I mean, they were they've aged out so
1:43:30
I can't tell who they are anymore. And then Fluffy
1:43:32
walked in and I see him and I go, oh,
1:43:34
say hi. And the first thing he
1:43:36
says is you get a Williams interview. And I was like,
1:43:38
oh, well, I'm talking to everyone for the night. Yeah. And
1:43:41
then me and him just gossip for fucking 15 minutes.
1:43:44
And I was like, I was like, buddy, the line
1:43:46
for tacos is long. I will talk to you all night
1:43:48
long if you don't get in that line right now. Yeah.
1:43:51
Yeah. Yeah. I
1:43:53
love it. Like, there's a thing where if
1:43:56
I see a comic somewhere, it's like even
1:43:58
a comic that I don't like. If there's
1:44:00
a comic in a place that I don't want to
1:44:02
be or even in a
1:44:05
place where it's like I just don't know anybody. I'm
1:44:07
like, it's a breath of oxygen. Yeah, I'm just like
1:44:09
oh, thank god Even during the pandemic.
1:44:11
I missed being around comics. I didn't like
1:44:13
I Missed
1:44:16
watching comics whose acts I
1:44:18
fucking hate. I yeah, those are
1:44:21
kind of refreshing You know what I mean? Where I was like
1:44:23
what we're all just be in the back and just going like oh
1:44:25
Oh Yuck, you know
1:44:27
what I mean? And I just missed that even
1:44:31
Like it gave me that appreciation for
1:44:33
that one of the favorite things and we'll
1:44:35
wrap this up because I know that we have food
1:44:37
downstairs Nice but one of
1:44:39
my favorite things is and I
1:44:41
think this is the blessing I get my takeaway from Whatever
1:44:44
I've done like I laid in bed the
1:44:46
other day and I was like is all of it worth
1:44:49
it Is my ambition worth it because I
1:44:51
am very ambitious I don't think I
1:44:53
think maybe people see that exteriorly, but I don't think
1:44:55
they see it internally about how ambitious
1:44:57
I am and how much I Want
1:45:00
to do things that people haven't done and
1:45:02
I want to do big things and
1:45:05
fully loaded as a direct representation of that For
1:45:07
