I interview amazing people with him every minds

but all I care about is what is

1:52

in their fridge. my guess today and award

1:54

winning comedian filmmaker producer magician. He. directed

1:56

the highly lauded stand up comedy documentary

1:58

mentally Al, which was selected as Best

2:01

Comedy Doc 2021 by the New York

2:03

Times. And he runs three of the

2:05

most popular and fun stand-up shows in

2:07

LA, including the one where we got

2:10

to recently perform on Together, well-dressed at

2:12

the Hollywood Roosevelt. If you're

2:14

in LA, you got to check out this show.

2:16

It's very fun. Everyone's dressed well. There's jazz. It's

2:18

awesome. Please welcome Josh Edelman. Thank you for having

2:20

me, Dan. I'm excited to do the show. And

2:22

I appreciate it. I appreciate

2:25

all the research into my credits that

2:27

nobody would know if they hadn't researched

2:29

me. It's not

2:31

like it's not like Dan Adu

2:33

from Cobra Kai. Listen,

2:36

any credit is a good credit. I feel like

2:38

when you start out doing stand-up, you always make

2:41

up your credits when they bring you out on

2:43

stage. He's been on The Tonight Show. 90%

2:46

of the he's been on The Tonight Show, people have never been on

2:48

The Tonight Show. Yeah. Well, he's been

2:50

to the he watched the taping of The Tonight Show. What

2:54

I think is really funny is this guy did like

2:56

a very he like did a troll list of the

2:58

top 100 comedians in LA and

3:00

he put me at number one. And

3:04

it literally says number one because I bought

3:06

a koozie of his. That's

3:08

why I'm number one. But I

3:10

posted it on my Instagram, immediately got asked

3:12

to do a show at the lab factory

3:14

at the improv, a website profile

3:17

on me. When I go on tour,

3:20

I put his website, I put the name. Someone

3:22

could look up where the thing is.

3:24

It says number one comedian to watch 2023. And

3:28

I was like sitting in the green room at

3:30

stir crazy in in

3:32

Arizona. And I could hear people because I

3:35

don't know if you know where it is like

3:37

in the hallway where people are walking. I hear

3:39

someone goes, you know, like I hear them through

3:41

during the you know, he was recently picked as

3:43

the number one comic to watch in Los Angeles.

3:46

I'm like, I'm like, just fake credit, which

3:48

is a real thing, but just completely a

3:50

troll has done so much for me. That

3:54

is unbelievable. Yeah. So

3:57

it's like it takes the troll

3:59

to another level. Because like every and it's funny because

4:01

he does the list every year and people

4:03

think of him like a troll But I still hear

4:05

people being like I really hope I'm on that list

4:07

this year I

4:10

wonder if I've ever made it to the list. I haven't

4:12

even seen yeah, and I were Well,

4:16

you're good enough of a comedian where you can actually

4:18

pull it off It's not like they're like wait, this

4:20

guy's not number one. You're very very funny. I feel

4:23

like people probably watch me. They're like I believe Number

4:30

one I mean top five It's

4:33

so funny And then we'll get

4:35

into food in a second But it's it's very funny

4:37

because I was I don't remember who I was talking

4:39

to But I love

4:41

getting dressed up nicely for comedy shows

4:44

and I love jazz And

4:46

I was talking to someone and I was like I'm

4:48

thinking like why don't I just start like

4:50

a show? That's like a monthly show where

4:52

the comedians like have to get dressed up

4:54

nicely and there's like jazz There's like jazz

4:56

playing and the comedians are dressed up nicely

4:58

and he was like, you know

5:00

that show exists that exact show Exists

5:03

and I was like what and then I think I looked

5:06

it up and I was like god damn it This is

5:08

exactly what I was thinking which is I think why I

5:10

reached out to you to do the show and I was

5:12

happy Yeah, I've been a fan. So I always

5:14

there's like there's different types of reach out There's

5:17

and usually the reach out is man Well

5:20

now here's the new person that hates me because I

5:22

won't book them but every once in a while There's

5:25

the reach out of like I've been wanting to reach

5:27

out to this person and then they reached out to

5:29

me and it makes my Life easy as I

5:32

pray. Yeah, you're available then See

5:35

you phone to that keep on to that cam.

5:37

Oh, that's nice Oh, yeah Great show and you

5:39

are one of the busier men in Hollywood and

5:41

you guys can tell that Josh is when you

5:43

look at his Fridge because this fridge might be

5:45

one of the saddest fridges that

5:47

we've had on the podcast You

5:50

guys can see Josh's fridge on

5:52

my Instagram at stand up

5:54

Dan. I mean There's

5:57

so much sadness going on in this fridge first of

5:59

all the lighting. I mean

6:02

just bright fluorescent.

6:05

It's just like it looks like it's a

6:07

I don't know it's like

6:09

like something was murdered in here. The lighting

6:13

is harsh. It is it is

6:15

Eastern Bloc. It is a it's

6:18

it's Soviet era the lighting. Do

6:21

you have anything you want to say before we

6:23

go into this? Have you any justification for

6:25

this fridge? Well what I will

6:27

say is the timing of when you

6:30

of when your assistant messaged me to

6:32

take the picture and he's like don't

6:34

clean it or anything. Like literally the

6:36

day he said that to me it

6:39

was like two days after my roommate and I

6:41

had like completely cleaned the fridge

6:44

so it was straight up empty that

6:46

day and I was like well let

6:48

me like wait a week till the fridge becomes a

6:51

little bit of what it is. So I

6:53

feel like this isn't I don't even

6:55

know this is a totally fair like

6:58

version of the fridge. This is the

7:00

fridge post cleaning like two weeks later.

7:02

So you're telling

7:04

me that this was

7:06

you saying hold on let's

7:08

let the fridge fill up let's let it

7:11

look nice and then we'll send in the

7:13

picture. Not even let it fill up look

7:15

nice let's just let it not be just

7:18

a Brita. Maybe

7:20

I should have sent you the one that was just a Brita.

7:22

I mean there's

7:25

so much chaos going on in

7:27

here there's there's plastic everywhere there's

7:29

there's there's bags flinging left and

7:31

right there's there's papers there's

7:36

okay let's just start at the top. So

7:38

this is two people's fridge? Technically

7:40

three people's fridge but my

7:43

third roommate I have my

7:45

third roommate doesn't come out and come he sleeps

7:47

all day he goes to work at night

7:49

he comes like I I see him so little

7:51

that if I like start dating someone I debate

7:54

whether or not to tell him I have a

7:56

third roommate. I'm like it might be easier just

7:58

to pretend I'm getting robbed. if she runs

8:00

into him. So

8:04

yeah, I would say there is not one thing

8:06

in this fridge that belongs to the third person.

8:08

So this would be two people carrying the fridge.

8:11

OK, amazing. So this is a two-person

8:13

fridge. That makes it

8:16

logarithmically worse, Josh. Yeah. We've

8:20

got a cottage cheese on the top. We've

8:22

got a bag of what looks like greens

8:24

of some sort. Yeah, no, those are string

8:27

cheese. OK, string cheese,

8:29

cottage cheese. The

8:32

strawberries are at the top row for some

8:34

strange reason, even though

8:36

there is a crisper at the bottom. I

8:39

don't even know what's in there. Is there

8:42

stuff in the crisper? Yeah, he has things

8:44

in the left one. And then the right

8:46

one, I think,

8:48

if there's ever medicine or something that needs

8:50

to be frozen, goes in there. Oh

8:53

my god, OK. Just

8:56

keeps getting worse. I say that

8:58

because one time I have cats, and

9:00

I had meds that needed to be kept cold for

9:03

the cat, so I put them in there. Again,

9:05

not helping your case now that you

9:07

have. Wait, it's not creepy or weird.

9:10

I just have a lot of cats

9:12

that need a lot of medicine. You

9:15

got a salsa? Is that a salsa up here? I

9:18

don't know. That's definitely my room. Yeah, maybe that

9:20

looks like a salsa. Yeah, like a salsa fish.

9:22

OK. Then the

9:24

second row, this is really the

9:27

row of sadness. It's

9:30

a graveyard of boxes

9:33

and bottles. There

9:36

is a minute

9:38

made plastic apple juice,

9:40

a small minute made, like the one

9:42

that you would take to camp. Is

9:46

this yours? Are you an apple

9:48

juice guy? Well, so for breakfast

9:50

sometimes, what I ideally like

9:52

is sometimes I'll have Cheerios with

9:55

banana milk, and I like apple

9:57

juice with it, ideally. when

10:00

I'm having that combination. But

10:02

I'll get the little one and I'll drink,

10:04

it'll take like, you know, I feel like

10:06

a small cup. So it's like three, that's

10:08

like three different breakfasts worth of apple

10:11

juice for me. Okay. You're

10:13

like this hobo sommelier. You're like, when I

10:16

have the, Cheerios. It's

10:19

a great combo, it's a great combo. I

10:22

like to pair it with the minute made

10:24

apple juice. And then there is

10:28

a Topo Chico, some sort of Topo

10:30

Chico. That's definitely my

10:32

roommate's. That's a boozy Topo Chico.

10:35

I don't even know what this is, an

10:37

empty box that is on its side. Yeah,

10:39

that I guess so. This

10:41

looks like a fridge that would be in like the last

10:43

of us, like one of those like. Yeah,

10:46

they're like looking for like scraps. Someone

10:51

already went through it. That

10:53

was like pre-smashed avocado

10:56

which I had purchased, but it looks like

10:58

my roommate ate all of because I had

11:00

like one of the four things in there

11:02

and it does seem empty. What is pre-smashed

11:04

avocado? I didn't even get that. It's almost

11:07

like guacamole, but it's like a little like

11:09

single serving. Oh, got it. Sometimes I'm lazy.

11:11

I like to make avocado toast too. And normally

11:13

I'll make it with actual

11:16

avocado, but every once in a while,

11:18

I'm just not feeling like waiting for

11:20

it to ripen dealing with all

11:22

the avocado bullshit. So I just got the

11:24

pre-made pre-smashed ones and it wasn't as

11:26

good. And that's why I only had one

11:28

of them, but my roommate I think had

11:31

the rest. Yeah, you know, I feel like

11:33

nature made a pretty good case for the

11:35

avocado, a good vessel. Totally, totally. Then

11:39

we've got your, these

11:42

cheeses, the what are they called? The

11:45

garlic and herb. They, it's like a cream cheese. I

11:47

didn't get it again. The laughing cow.

11:49

It's the laughing cow. Yes, also my roommates. The

11:52

rest of the stuff on this, this little corner

11:54

over here is all his. Man, I was

11:56

gonna ding you for not having enough stuff in your

11:58

fridge. And this is a two. person fridge.

12:01

Technically a three-person fridge.

12:03

Technically, technically a three-person

12:05

fridge. Okay, so is

12:07

this mostly your row here, the lower row? Quite

12:11

literally, the only thing that's in

12:13

this row that's mine is the

12:16

milk in the back. Okay.

12:19

The milk in the back and then

12:21

that Pepsi also belongs to

12:23

me but the only reason that Pepsi is

12:25

there is because I ordered a DoorDash and

12:27

I asked for a diet Pepsi and they

12:30

brought me a regular Pepsi and

12:32

I didn't drink it but it was in the fridge. Okay,

12:34

got it. Got it. Alright, let me get

12:36

this straight and then just to quickly

12:39

finish up the body even though this is not

12:41

your stuff, we've got cage-free liquid egg whites in

12:43

a carton which

12:46

are next to the raw chicken. The

12:48

cage-free egg whites is a horrifying

12:51

concept to me. Yeah,

12:53

any eggs in a carton for me

12:57

gross me out to no end. It took

12:59

me a long time to just do eggs

13:02

like normally let alone eggs in a

13:04

carton. Yeah, yeah and

13:06

then this is a non-fancy

13:09

milk. This is like the Target brand

13:11

milk or something, right? I think

13:14

it's like a low-lactaid milk

13:16

also. Yeah, it

13:19

says ultra-filtration on the back of the

13:21

milk because I need to know how

13:23

my milk is filtered. It's like a

13:26

vodka terminology used for milk that

13:28

grosses me out too and then we

13:30

have an empty Brita, a Brita that needs to be filled.

13:32

So you're telling me and most of this stuff is

13:35

not even yours. So your things in this fridge are

13:37

the apple juice, one thing of apple

13:40

juice, an empty

13:42

box of guacamole things

13:44

and the milk? I

13:47

don't know. I think that the

13:50

mustard behind the Brita,

13:52

that would be mine too. Josh,

13:59

I don't know what to say. And

14:01

the Pepsi, which was a mistake. That's

14:03

right, the mistake in Pepsi. I

14:05

mean, this feels like

14:07

a cry for help. It's

14:10

a... You're

14:12

a single man. You're a single man. What

14:15

if you bring a damsel back and she wants

14:17

you to make her something? What are you

14:19

going to do? I would go and get food.

14:22

I would go get food to make. You know

14:24

what? The things I've learned about myself. One

14:27

is, if I go shop, I'll

14:29

eat. If I have food,

14:31

I'll eat it. So

14:35

I find that the best option for me is to

14:37

just not have food in the house. Because

14:40

I will... It's my best option. Because if

14:42

it's there, I'm going to eat it. I'm

14:46

the type of person who goes health food

14:48

shopping and then gets a couple of treats.

14:51

And then by day two, every treat

14:53

I bought for myself is gone. And

14:56

then the health food slowly rots. So

15:01

I'm like, why am I wasting this money

15:03

on healthy food? Plus,

15:07

as you said, I'm one of the busiest

15:09

men in Hollywood. Number

15:11

one. Number one busiest man, according to

15:13

that list. And

15:15

then on top of all those things people

15:17

know I do, I also do video editing

15:20

for a good number of clients. So I

15:22

just slammed at my desk. And

15:26

it is just so much easier. And

15:28

I can charge. I can bill for

15:30

it. So I just DoorDash my lunches.

15:33

All my clients would rather me work

15:35

through lunch in DoorDash and build up

15:37

for DoorDash than take

15:39

an hour to cook myself something. What

15:42

are you getting from DoorDash? I

15:44

kind of got a good rotation

15:46

going right now between Sweet Greens,

15:49

Ava, California Chicken Cafe, this

15:51

Mediterranean place and Los Feliz.

15:53

I'm kind of trying to

15:55

do a Mediterranean. during

16:00

the pandemic, gained 50 vaccines, and

16:02

down 20 again. So

16:04

I'm like, I'm like, yoyoing myself.

16:09

First of all, you're the only person I've heard who

16:11

lost weight during the pandemic. Two

16:13

jokes I have is I was like, the

16:15

pandemic taught me which of my friends would

16:18

come out of prison shredded with a laundry

16:20

and which of them wouldn't have been allowed

16:23

to wear shoelaces. I

16:26

was shredded with a laundry. Really?

16:29

What were you doing? Well,

16:31

it's the funny thing. I've been thinking about this

16:33

recently. I've been bothered by this is that I

16:35

like, when the pandemic happened, I quit

16:37

social media. I was like, I don't need it. I

16:40

need to focus on me. I

16:42

don't need this distraction. And I lost

16:44

50 pounds. I read up to 60 books.

16:48

I wrote half of a novel. And

16:51

then the pandemic ended and

16:53

I saw that all my friends have gotten famous

16:56

on TikTok. My

16:58

mental health has never been worse. And

17:01

since then I've gained all the weight back.

17:04

I stopped reading. I haven't touched the novel.

17:06

I was like, I really should have been

17:08

on TikTok this whole time. Oh my God.

17:11

Yeah, they were the ones that were

17:13

correct. This whole mental health, it was

17:15

a big mistake. I

17:19

know it's such an awful feedback loop that

17:21

we're being given as comics because I

17:23

like you was also erring on the side

17:25

of like, I don't wanna do this shit.

17:28

Social media takes away from my creativity, from

17:30

my art. My

17:32

mind just gets taken hostage by

17:34

likes and retweets. And

17:37

then all of our friends got really famous.

17:41

Well, I think about sometimes, I felt very

17:44

much prior to the pandemic

17:46

and one of the things that felt very hard

17:48

about it that I knew wouldn't even hit me

17:50

till it was out was I felt like I

17:52

was really ascending at that time in the way

17:54

things used to work. The

17:57

way things worked back then, I was like on the

17:59

right track. getting lots of spots at the

18:01

improv and things were starting to happen. I

18:03

was getting noticed and getting on bigger shows

18:05

and things. And then afterwards it all became,

18:07

all right, you got, you got 200,000 followers.

18:10

Yeah, we can, we can get you up

18:12

in every, every, it just all changed how,

18:14

how everything was like to you and I'm

18:17

like, I gotta like kind of restart this

18:19

whole game in a brand new way. That's

18:21

far more like you were saying, we got

18:23

to be a videographer. We got to be

18:25

an editor. The irony is I

18:27

was all those things already and I'm still not. Ironically,

18:33

I had all the skills you needed and it's

18:35

still not helping. Yeah. Yeah. That's

18:37

a shame on you situation. I know, I know,

18:39

I know. No, it is. It

18:41

is sad when you see people who are

18:44

like, like when they're great comics

18:46

who use their social media to add

18:48

fuel to the fire, I'm fine with it. But when

18:50

you're seeing these mediocre comedians who are very

18:53

good at consistently putting out social media and now

18:55

are like selling at the clubs, I'm like, God

18:58

damn it. It can

19:00

hit you in the, it can be like

19:02

a chest punch, not the wind out of

19:04

you sometimes for sure. Okay. So Mediterranean diet

19:06

is what you're striving for.

19:10

Um, and, uh, yeah,

19:13

those places, it's funny. You named like the

19:15

holy Trinity of like very boring places to

19:18

me. Trust me. I'm

19:20

bored by everything I eat. Yeah. But

19:23

it's easier for me to be Mediterranean. I did

19:25

Keto. I know I yo yo and I know

19:27

it's not good. But every time I like decide

19:29

to get in shape a new way, I need

19:31

something brand new than anything I've done before. Because

19:34

I know how hard the thing I did before was.

19:36

And I'm like, I can't do that again. So

19:39

I need a new, I need a new

19:41

thing that's insurmountably difficult to achieve, but

19:44

that I haven't achieved yet. So

19:46

I don't like fully ungrasped how

19:48

miserable the experience is. Right. What

19:52

is the Achilles heel for you? Like when

19:54

you're putting on 50 pounds, like what is

19:56

it mostly? If there's again, this, this goes

19:58

back to the fridge. empty. If there's

20:01

food in front of me, I will eat

20:03

it. I just won't stop. I'm pretty sure

20:05

it's a eating

20:07

disorder. But like, like there was one

20:09

time my roommate had gotten this gigantic

20:11

thing of peanuts. We're sitting there, I

20:13

just kept eating them. I kept eating

20:15

them. And I started like not feeling

20:17

good. And then like I went into

20:19

my other roommate's room. He's like, whoa,

20:21

you smell like peanut butter. Like it

20:23

was so bad. It was so much

20:25

you could smell it from inside of

20:27

me. And I was like, I do,

20:29

I do. This is good. I was like, I got

20:31

like worried about. So I

20:34

can't, the biggest thing

20:36

is I can't have, I just can't have

20:38

food around because I'll keep eating it. And

20:40

then I say secondly, is like, I just

20:42

like, I like that. I like fried foods.

20:45

I like pizza. Like

20:47

at least on the Mediterranean diet, I

20:49

can have some pizza. Yeah. But if

20:51

you left me to my devices, I'm

20:53

eating pizza, pasta, burgers, fries. Wait, I

20:56

love that most people associate the Mediterranean

20:58

diet with like mostly fish, vegetables,

21:00

this, that. You're just using it as like,

21:02

no, no, no. If there, if it's, if

21:04

it's good in the Mediterranean and there's pizza,

21:08

like you Googled, is there a hamburger

21:11

shop in the Mediterranean? Yes. Technically

21:21

the Mediterranean diet. Well, well, to be

21:23

fair, I, I, I have dramatically cut

21:25

down on my pizza, but I didn't

21:28

want to die at work. Pizza could

21:30

be an occasional, an occasional thing. Cause like

21:32

during the pandemic, I pretty much did keto

21:35

and I was committed and it worked. And

21:37

then once I, once I saw it, they

21:39

just like flew

21:41

off the wagon. Is keto this caveman

21:43

one? Yeah. I always think that one

21:46

was the funniest one because it's like,

21:48

eat like how a caveman did. I'm like,

21:51

cavemen live to like 22. Well,

21:55

the other thing is like beer. Beer was

21:57

like a really good, a really good to

21:59

turn. for me because one, I was very

22:01

afraid of COVID. So I actually

22:03

wasn't ordering food during the pandemic. I

22:05

was cooking and I had to get

22:08

food that I had to cook. So

22:10

it's like, I couldn't just eat it. I had

22:12

to prepare it and I would eat everything

22:14

that I prepared, but it

22:17

would be just a lot of meats and

22:19

vegetables. And I was also afraid

22:21

of being fat during COVID too because I was killing

22:23

fat people a lot. Right, that's

22:25

true. Why don't you do

22:28

one of those meal delivery systems? The

22:30

other big challenge is, again, being

22:34

locked in my house like a prison. It

22:37

is funny, I used

22:40

to say to myself, back way before COVID,

22:42

I used to be like, man,

22:45

if only there wasn't the race to

22:47

be worried about. I'd love

22:49

to do prison for a year just

22:51

to get myself together. And when

22:53

COVID happened, I was like, man, I made

22:55

good on the thing I always believed would

22:58

be the case if it was my situation.

23:00

Yeah. That I

23:02

did improve in all the ways I thought I

23:04

would if I were in prison and not afraid

23:06

of getting raped. Right. But

23:10

now it's like, I'm out every night doing

23:12

stand up. I'm out with friends, I'm at

23:14

bar, like I did a show

23:17

last night and I worked all

23:19

day and I went and I did the show

23:21

at 10 o'clock at night. I hadn't eaten since

23:23

lunch and I had to get some food. Man,

23:27

I know this is not a stand up podcast, but I

23:30

did a show last night and I fucking bombed

23:35

for the first time in a long

23:37

time. And I'm not

23:39

talking about bombed, like, oh,

23:42

I was trying out new stuff and it

23:44

wasn't working. I'm saying bombed, I was trying

23:46

to win them over and I couldn't and

23:49

it was a show at Dynasty

23:51

Type. It

23:54

was a nice big one. Yeah,

23:56

it was a big one. It wasn't like I bombed at

23:58

the dime. It was there. No, no,

24:00

no, no. And

24:02

it was this like charity gig for this

24:04

place called Experience Camps, which is a wonderful

24:06

camp that like it's for kids who have

24:09

lost a parent or a sibling, they get

24:11

this free camp. It's like a wonderful thing.

24:13

It's all over the country. And

24:16

I was like, oh yeah, this sounds great.

24:18

Let's do it. So it was like 10

24:20

comedians on the show, great comedians. Like it

24:22

was a wonderful lineup. And

24:24

right before I go up, they're like, okay, we

24:27

want to show a video now from one of

24:29

our campers. Oh

24:31

no. And

24:33

this

24:36

showed this fucking eight year old girl who's

24:38

like sitting down and like shaking and like

24:40

she's not comfortable being on camera. And

24:43

she's like, how do I deal with

24:45

my grief? My grief comes up once

24:47

in a while and I miss my

24:49

mommy. But if it wasn't for my

24:52

mommy dying, I wouldn't have met all

24:54

these wonderful people at the camp. And

24:56

it was like the audience was like, oh, and

24:58

then they're like, all right, great. Now time

25:01

for more comedy. Here's Dan and

25:04

dude. Oh my God. Did you do a dress

25:06

following? Yes, dude, I did dress following it. And

25:08

then I think where I fucked up is I

25:10

started making fun of the kid. I

25:16

was like, how do you guys expect me

25:18

to follow like a cute eight year old

25:20

kid with a speech impediment? And

25:25

the crowd was like very

25:27

much not into that. And then it was like

25:29

I was throwing my greatest hits out and they

25:31

just didn't care. Oh,

25:33

yeah. It

25:36

reminds me, I in high

25:38

school, I used to do

25:40

like drama competitions and we

25:43

did this play. It was like a 9-11

25:45

play. But

25:47

it was like, but each thing was like a little vignette. And

25:50

when we were rehearsing for the play, because it

25:53

was all like vignette it up, it was like

25:55

each vignette would like just kind of like practice their vignette.

25:57

And we knew when we were supposed to go. practice

26:00

like two times as a whole. And

26:03

my friend and I had like this comic relief

26:05

scene in this 9-11 play where

26:08

we're like producers trying

26:11

to exploit like 9-11 for

26:13

like Hollywood. And we

26:15

thought it was so funny. We were like ripping

26:17

jokes and like adding things to it. We're like,

26:19

oh, this is gonna crush. Then when the actual

26:21

play goes up, right before

26:23

us, the best actress in our

26:26

high school, she like ended up

26:28

going to like Juilliard and like

26:30

everything, does this monologue about searching

26:33

for her child through the rubble

26:35

of the buildings and like the

26:38

room is like in tears. Then

26:42

all of a sudden we come out and

26:44

we're like, all right, how are we gonna

26:46

exploit this for Hollywood? It was like the

26:49

most miserable experience I ever had on stage.

26:51

And then afterwards, we're like at

26:54

the place where all this stuff is happening. And

26:56

we just hear people walk by, but man, that

26:58

9-11 play was really moving. Except for those two

27:00

fucking guys who were like, what the hell was

27:02

that? Oh,

27:09

that was so good.

27:11

Anyway, experience camps, wonderful

27:13

charity. Sorry,

27:16

I made fun of the kid, but we raised

27:18

a lot of money. You can't

27:20

do that in the middle. You can

27:22

even maybe do it at the beginning before

27:24

the host comes in. And

27:26

then the host has to

27:29

endure the burden of

27:32

transitioning people from the horrors of

27:34

this charity to

27:38

the concept of comedy. We don't need

27:40

a palate cleanser of Kid With Dead

27:42

Mom in the middle of the show.

27:45

We know you all have been having a good

27:47

time before we get back to this good time.

27:49

We just wanna show you this scene from Schindler's

27:51

Lick. The red coat scene from Schindler's

27:53

Lick. I

28:00

felt like it was such like I was being

28:02

baited. I was being baited

28:04

because as a comic, like you have to

28:06

make fun of this kid. I

28:09

don't know if we have to make fun. We have to address

28:11

it. We have to address it. I probably shouldn't have made fun

28:13

of the kid. Although I'm sure some people would

28:15

have thought it was funny. Not the Dynasty type. I

28:18

bet you some people there did think it was funny. There

28:23

is nothing quite like the peer pressure

28:25

of being in an audience at a

28:27

comedy show. It's

28:30

insane how like how can you crush?

28:32

I've watched you crush on myself. I've

28:34

watched you crush other places. It's like I

28:36

know your material's good. And

28:38

you've seen your material do well. Yet here is

28:40

a room full of over 100 people, all

28:44

not laughing at the jokes. Rooms full

28:46

of 100 people have all laughed at.

28:48

It's like they often want their friends

28:51

to let them know. It's okay. Nobody

28:53

wants to be the one person laughing

28:56

at somebody. Yeah.

28:59

And you know, it's also one of those

29:01

things where, I don't think

29:03

when people are at a charity show for that

29:05

type of thing, I feel like they especially think

29:07

they can't laugh at something like that. Who

29:09

knows? Maybe the fucking kid was in the crowd. Yeah.

29:17

Josh doesn't have much in his fridge, but

29:19

he does have a Brita filter, which reminded

29:21

me of a rumor that if you put

29:23

vodka in a Brita, it makes it taste

29:25

better. So I looked it

29:27

up. Apparently the MythBusters answered the

29:29

question by filtering vodka one to

29:32

six times in a Brita. Long

29:34

story short, it's all the same.

29:36

Just splurge on the good vodka and leave your

29:38

Brita empty in the fridge like Josh does. I

29:44

wanna start asking you the questions that I ask

29:46

every guest. But before I do that, actually, I

29:48

wanted to plug Factors, which

29:51

is our

29:53

advertiser, and they're like a

29:55

meal delivery service,

29:58

and their food is actually really good. It

30:00

is good. I've done factor. When I

30:02

was doing keto, they have like factor

30:05

as like keto stuff and I would

30:07

do factor. The problem for me with

30:09

factor is again, if there's food there,

30:11

I'll eat it. So I like I'd

30:13

get the meal plans and I eat

30:15

like three meals. And I'm like, this

30:17

is not working anymore because I just

30:19

had three of them. Fact is- I

30:23

had my whole days in one meal. Fact

30:26

is you've met your match. Just triple the shipping

30:28

cost so that they can come to you once

30:30

a day. Yeah. I

30:33

need them to arrive each meal. Oh man.

33:10

Bahamas. Okay,

33:15

so we're going to start with what is

33:17

your earliest food memory? Earliest

33:20

food memory. This is probably the earliest

33:22

one. Such a horribly

33:24

picky eater growing up, like terribly.

33:26

And there's this picture, it's so

33:29

funny to me. On

33:31

my grandfather's fridge, my grandfather that lived

33:33

in Chicago at the time, there

33:36

was a picture of me right after I

33:38

ate a plate of fish sticks. And

33:40

it was like, my mom, like, like everyone knew

33:42

I was like, like we eat macaroni and cheese

33:45

and pizza and french fries and like, and it

33:47

was hard to get me to eat anything else.

33:49

So it was like such a big deal that

33:51

I ate these fish sticks

33:53

that he sent the picture to my grandfather.

33:55

But what is not included in the picture

33:58

of me eating the fish sticks is right

34:00

after that picture was taken, I threw it

34:02

all up and my mom like completely gave

34:04

up on me. It

34:07

was like I did it. She forced me to do

34:09

it. I went through with it. She was proud. She

34:11

took the picture. I was proud and then I immediately

34:13

barfed. That's

34:16

probably my, that's the earliest food memory I

34:18

can think of. That's uh, yeah,

34:20

that'll stick with you. My

34:22

mom is uh, is like an

34:24

incredible cook to the point where

34:27

like she throws every family, like

34:29

every Seder, Thanksgiving. It's always

34:31

my mom that does it. Everybody, nobody

34:33

even wants to like dare compete. And

34:35

she says that like growing up, I

34:37

broke her.

34:43

Uh, death row meal.

34:45

So you're on death row. Let's

34:47

think of a good reason that you're on

34:49

death row. Um, let's

34:52

say you bring a girl back to

34:54

your place. Okay. She's excited to

34:56

be there. And she's like, Hey,

34:58

can you, can you cook me up something?

35:01

And you say, well, let's take a look at the fridge here.

35:03

And she's

35:06

like, Oh, I guess I'll get a carton of

35:08

egg whites, uh, omelet. And you say, no,

35:10

no, no, that's my, that's not mine.

35:12

All you have to choose from is

35:15

the Apple juice and

35:17

a Pepsi. And she

35:19

starts laughing at you so hard.

35:21

And, uh, it's, um, it

35:24

makes you enraged and you murder

35:27

her. And now you're on death

35:29

row. What is your death row

35:31

meal? So here's something I've always

35:33

wanted. Like the death row meal is like,

35:35

it's like, is the death row meal like

35:37

the chef at the jail prepares it? Or

35:40

is it like, Hey, I want Del Frisco's

35:42

this and they go to Del Frisco's and

35:44

get it for you. Let me ask you

35:46

this. Let me ask you this. Let's

35:49

say that I said it was the former that

35:51

you have to deal with the, with

35:53

the cook at the prison for this. How

35:56

would that change your answer? You, you dumb

35:58

it down for a prison. I

36:01

would pick my favorite food for the prison

36:03

chef. I would pick my favorite thing I've

36:05

ever eaten for like I can get anything

36:07

in the world. Okay, got it. Got it.

36:10

The best thing I ever ate is not

36:12

what I would consider like if you asked

36:14

me what my favorite food was. Okay, yeah,

36:16

I'll give you I'll give you I'll give

36:18

you both answers. I'll give you both. Okay,

36:20

give me both. I probably in all honesty,

36:22

probably if I'm like having to deal with

36:24

the chef making my last meal, I'd pick

36:26

like 10 ale vodka. Okay. Love it. Love

36:28

it. If I could get anything. There was

36:30

this place called Moises

36:32

kebabs in in

36:35

Berlin. Well, made

36:37

this daughter kebab that was

36:39

so fucking good. I it's like

36:41

when I traveled through Europe, I never like

36:44

went back to a place twice. I went

36:46

back to this place every single day I

36:48

was in Berlin. And I think

36:50

about traveling to Berlin again,

36:52

just to have the daughter

36:54

kebab from the street truck. Moises

36:57

kebab? Moises kebab.

36:59

Are you sure it's Moises? I'm

37:02

pretty sure that's what it is.

37:04

I have it written down in

37:06

my notes also. Is it not

37:08

Mustafa's kebabs? Mustafa's, Mustafa's, Mustafa's. I'm

37:10

sorry. I'm just, yeah, yeah, yeah.

37:12

Okay, hold on. Are you familiar?

37:14

We just went from a kosher

37:17

Ashkenazi kebab place to an

37:22

Arab Turkish,

37:24

Moises kebab.

37:28

Mustafa's. Something sounded wrong when I

37:30

was saying Mustafa's kebab. You're correct.

37:32

Shout out to Moises kebab though,

37:34

wherever you are. Yes,

37:37

this, we're looking at this together now.

37:39

It looks like an insane. Like, like

37:41

there are ingredients in there that I

37:44

thought were foods I didn't like that

37:46

like tasted like nothing I've ever tasted

37:48

before. Wow. And it's like the way

37:50

they made it I watched as like

37:52

they put care into every single sandwich.

37:55

Like they waited. It was

37:57

a long line and people had to wait because they

37:59

made the meat was

38:02

like charged to the same degree for everyone.

38:04

They like eat it, they like fresh baked

38:06

the bread, and you only would get like

38:08

the bread from the sandwich like shortly after

38:10

it came out of the oven and waited

38:12

a certain amount of time. It was just

38:15

so good. So your death row meal is

38:17

a Mustapha's kebab? Mustapha's

38:19

kebab or anyone's pen,

38:21

Alabama. Or my mom's just regular spaghetti and

38:23

meatballs. Or if there's a guy named Moishe

38:25

who wants to grill some meat. I'm

38:28

on death row, I asked for Moishe's kebabs,

38:33

they bring me in, I'm like this isn't

38:35

what I wanted. I have to eat that

38:37

and I get killed. Last thing I eat

38:39

is like this shitty knockoff Mustapha's kebab. We've

38:44

searched long and wide for

38:46

Moishe's kebab in Berlin. There

38:48

is no Moishe's kebab. I

38:51

swear it's there guys, keep looking. Meanwhile

38:53

they just like never execute you because

38:55

they're just looking for Moishe's kebab. What

38:59

is the best high-end meal

39:01

you've ever had? Oh, without

39:03

question. This is like my

39:05

next one down from Mustapha's

39:07

kebab was I used to have

39:09

a photo booth company and these

39:11

people were trying to sell us like a

39:14

really expensive photo booth when I was at

39:16

a convention in Vegas. So they took us

39:18

out to Nobu at Caesar's

39:20

Palace and bought me a

39:22

$500 meal that like I'll

39:25

never forget. Amazing. I did buy the

39:27

photo booth, which I was

39:29

planning on getting anyway, but

39:33

that meal was like just

39:35

on another level. Did the photo booth pay

39:37

for itself? It just finished

39:40

paying for itself and then the pandemic

39:42

happened and I shut down the company

39:44

because people weren't trying to press a

39:46

photo booth anymore. That's

39:50

hilarious. Funny enough, the last

39:52

time I was in Vegas, I did go

39:54

to that Nobu. So I know exactly where

39:56

you're talking about and it was very funny

39:58

because they had this thing where... Like

40:00

the prices were egregiously expensive even for Nobu

40:02

and we were like what's going on here?

40:04

And they were like, oh, it's

40:06

Adele pricing Meaning that

40:08

when Adele is giving a concert and they

40:12

raise the prices because it gets so crowded

40:15

It reminds me of a fight I got

40:17

in I wanted to make a sketch about this

40:19

because I went to the sushi place That was

40:21

happy hour. They sent out sign happy hour all

40:24

day every day 50% off And

40:27

I was like and I went in and I was

40:29

order and I was like, you know, this isn't really

40:31

a happy hour It's just like a menu over quality

40:34

It's not and then they were

40:36

like and then they literally said they go

40:38

well You don't have to do any math

40:40

because the menu has our happy hour prices

40:42

on it. I'm like, I'm like

40:44

this is nothing There's there's literally nothing and

40:46

they said to me they go well, sometimes

40:48

we have special events here where we charge

40:52

Double what's on the menu? I'm like, so what you're

40:54

really telling me is that you don't have happy hour

40:57

But every once in a while when there's

40:59

like a UFC fight or something you have

41:01

unhappy hours where prices are 50%

41:09

off our special event 200% pricing You

41:14

gotta bring a fucking TI 82 in to figure

41:16

anything out What

41:18

is this advertising? That

41:21

place no longer exists. Yeah a picture of it.

41:23

I Went I went to

41:25

where it was like in a photo. Yeah, so

41:27

I'm sure they were paying their rent checks on

41:29

there We're like we actually doubled it and then

41:31

also split it by three quarters to make sure

41:35

And they're like wait, this is this is

41:37

one eighth of what the rent is. No, no, it's

41:39

not it's a limited

41:41

time discounted rates that we are giving

41:43

ourselves I Do

41:46

you are you a drinker Josh? Yeah,

41:49

yeah, I wouldn't say it's not a

41:51

heavy drinker. But do you have like

41:53

a favorite drunk food? Well, my favorite

41:55

drink is an old-fashioned. I'm I I

41:57

pretty I'm always curious like what each

41:59

bars old-fashioned Especially if they have

42:01

like a unique one. Do

42:03

you get it with bourbon or with whiskey or

42:06

I guess bourbon is Right. Yeah,

42:08

we're gonna write Honestly,

42:10

most people are bourbon people I err

42:12

on the side of preferring right in

42:15

my in my old-fashioned I have a theory that

42:17

no one actually likes bourbon Nobody

42:20

likes bourbon as they

42:22

like bourbon does it is painful

42:24

to the esophagus to the digestive

42:26

tract It hurts

42:28

on the way down. I think rye is

42:30

more painful, but that's actually kind of why

42:32

I like it more My

42:34

old fat I think I don't like the fighting.

42:36

It's weird It's my it's my favorite drink, but

42:39

I always feel like it's a little too sweet

42:41

and I feel like the rye brings that down

42:43

a bit Yeah, yeah, but I'm always hugely disappointed

42:45

if there isn't a big ice cube If

42:47

they don't have the big ice cube, but

42:49

it's already like once deducted Whoever

42:52

invented the big ice cube should get some

42:54

sort of award it raises the

42:57

festive feeling of a drink by a

42:59

factor of ten if I

43:01

had only done a photo of my

43:03

freezer to you would see my Clear

43:05

ice cube maker. Hmm. I have a

43:07

thing that makes clear big ice cubes

43:10

for me to make Old-fashioned so

43:12

it's not just a big ice cube maker.

43:15

It makes them clear Wow like a whole

43:17

contraption Amazing extra point you

43:19

get extra credit if my big ice

43:21

cube is clear. Okay, I might I

43:23

might factor that into your your fridge

43:26

score Later, but I don't think

43:28

I will I think you're still fucked But

43:33

am I at least not your

43:35

lowest score ever you might be

43:38

in the words of that that comedy

43:40

list You might be the number one worst fridge

43:43

You Know I'd

43:45

rather be number one. I'd rather be the

43:47

worst fridge then Then

43:49

like fourth first. I'd rather be the number

43:52

one worse than third But actually the first

43:54

time that guy did the list I was

43:56

the last ranked person. Sorry went from I

43:58

went for from 100 to one. Hold

44:03

on, how do I find out if I was

44:05

ever on this list? What do

44:07

I look up? Oh, ianiruso.com.

44:10

If you don't know Ian, you're probably not. Oh

44:12

really? And honestly, you should partially

44:15

be, I mean, I have

44:17

a soft spot for Ian in my

44:19

heart, but you might appreciate the fact

44:21

that you don't know him. I

44:25

don't, yeah, I don't even know how to look

44:27

this up. Ian I Aruso. I

44:29

don't know, whatever. Okay, so do you

44:31

have a favorite drunk food? So in New

44:34

York, I lived in New York for around 10

44:36

years. The

44:38

funny thing is I did not care

44:41

for this pizza when I was sober, but

44:43

the raised pizza on St. Mark's.

44:46

I was like, if I was drunk, there

44:49

was nothing I wanted more

44:52

than just like this gooey slice

44:54

of, like it's not even, there's

44:57

so much cheese that it's like not

44:59

even crispy anymore, and it's

45:01

just like barely holding the cheese together,

45:03

just raised pizza on St. Mark's. Just

45:05

the slice of cheese is

45:08

like the perfect drunk, there's like drunk

45:10

pizza and then there's sober pizza. Raised

45:13

on St. Mark's drunk

45:15

slice of cheese, drunk pizza, or I would get,

45:17

I would even, I get the slice of cheese

45:19

or I'd get the sausage pepperoni. I

45:22

actually just had a drunk pizza in New York

45:24

a couple of nights ago. Where'd

45:27

you go? I went to

45:30

Joe's on Carmine. See Joe's,

45:32

I love Joe's, love Joe's. Joe's

45:35

is in the running for favorite sober

45:37

pizza, but it's not the same

45:39

thing as just like the, like

45:41

it almost feels like a hangover cure, the

45:44

raised pizza. There's so much going on

45:46

that it like absorbs the alcohol in

45:48

your body. The Joe's is too crisp

45:50

and good. It's almost wasted on

45:52

the drunk. I get that, I get that, I

45:54

get that because the Joe's is a

45:57

little bit, has a little too much finesse. It's

45:59

not like. garbage pizza. People

46:02

kind of get on Joe's. They kind of

46:04

like it decided it's not cool to like

46:07

Joe's the most anymore. But like one thing

46:09

I really appreciate Joe's is like there's consistency.

46:11

I feel like almost every time I go

46:14

to Joe's the slice is the same. Yeah.

46:17

It like it's like they don't they do it

46:19

to a science where it's like I know what

46:21

I'm getting at Joe's lots of other places like

46:23

oh good day today bad day today. Joe's is

46:26

pretty level consistent. Yeah.

46:29

Good pizza. Yeah. What's

46:32

your favorite pizza in LA? Probably a

46:34

couple of places. I only went

46:36

to this place once but it was very good.

46:38

Apollonia pizza was very very good.

46:40

Yeah. I like this honest. Yeah.

46:43

Apollonia is this killer. They also do they're known

46:45

for their Detroit style but they have like a

46:48

New York style that is fucking amazing. The New

46:50

York's what I'm the New York's the one I'm

46:52

talking about. I have the Detroit also. The New

46:54

York's like that's like the closest prime pizza I

46:56

think is very good right next to the dime.

46:58

I don't get prime that much. I don't know

47:00

why. I wanted to love it but every time

47:03

I get it I'm like maybe

47:05

it's because I get it delivered and it doesn't hit the

47:07

same but no it's better. It's

47:09

nice when it comes out. It's nice and

47:11

crispy and thin and also their grandma's slice

47:13

is pretty good. I don't mind the

47:15

Joe's out here. It's not the same Joe's as the

47:18

one in New York. It's a different owner. People people

47:20

think. Is that true? It's

47:22

a similar flavor. It's a similar taste.

47:24

It is similar. It's the closest

47:26

I think you get to that out here. It

47:29

seems like they're trying to rip on it but

47:31

it is it is different and then I really

47:33

like the Sonos but that's like an Apolitan. Yeah.

47:37

I've been plugging this place so much but

47:39

pizzeria say is probably my favorite Neapolitan pizza

47:41

in LA. Where's that? Where's

47:44

that? You ready for this? You

47:46

ready for this? You'll appreciate this as

47:48

a as a fellow member of the tribe. It's

47:51

on the corner of Pico and Robertson. Oh,

47:54

is it kosher? No, it's not very

47:57

very not kosher. This

48:00

not kosher pizza place doing right there.

48:02

I don't know, but it's this Korean

48:04

dude who's making like Tokyo style Neapolitan

48:06

pizzas and they're fucking amazing. I'm

48:09

gonna check that out for sure. What is

48:12

your favorite dessert? Favorite?

48:14

Well, chocolate chip cookie. Okay, old grateful.

48:17

Yeah, and this place, I mean, I've

48:19

eaten so many of them here that

48:22

it's almost ruined for me at this

48:24

point. But this place, Bolt in

48:26

Hollywood, that I can do for Bolt,

48:29

BLLT. It's

48:31

a breakfast spot that makes both my favorite

48:34

avocado toast I've ever had. My

48:36

only problem with them is it's not 100% consistent. Every

48:39

once in a while I get an avocado toast

48:41

that I'm like disappointed

48:43

with. But when it's good, it's the best

48:45

I've had and the best chocolate

48:47

chip sea salt cookie I've ever

48:50

had. Wow, I hate the

48:52

name Bolt. It's way too aggressive for me.

48:55

I think if you went there, you'd be like, okay, I kind of

48:57

get it. Okay. There's

49:00

a lot of lightning motif going on. I'm

49:02

okay with it. It's a popular

49:04

spot, but I feel like it doesn't quite

49:07

get like the LA

49:09

like love that it deserves from like

49:11

people. Like the pastries

49:13

there are disgustingly good. Wow,

49:17

we need to come up with different adjectives for you.

49:21

Disgustingly good is f***ing

49:24

vomit-inducingly good. Who

49:27

is your favorite celebrity food personality? I

49:30

mean, I'm not a huge watcher of that

49:32

stuff, but I watched the Anthony Bourdain documentary

49:34

and I really enjoyed that.

49:37

So boring answer, Bourdain. Boring

49:40

answer. Oh,

49:42

you know what? Actually, no, no, I actually have

49:44

a good answer. I actually have a good answer.

49:46

Okay. I used to love, and this is pre-fandemic.

49:49

I don't know if they do it anymore. I

49:51

used to love this show Worth It on

49:53

YouTube. It was these two kind

49:56

of mid-comedians. I don't know them, but

49:58

they were comics. and they would

50:00

try three, they tried the same food,

50:03

three different versions of it, a really cheap

50:05

version, a regular priced version, and a super

50:08

expensive version, and they'd tell you which one

50:10

was worth it for the price. And I

50:12

liked the show so much because I would

50:14

go and be like, oh, I'm gonna get

50:16

the cheap version of what this is all

50:18

the time. So I find all these cheap

50:20

eats that were pretty good in LA, the

50:23

show called Worth It. Wow, yeah, I'm looking at

50:26

it, it was a, like

50:29

a BuzzFeed show. BuzzFeed show, yeah. That's

50:31

a cool idea, I like that actually. Yeah,

50:34

yeah, that would be, that's my answer. That's

50:37

a good one. Because it's less boring and more,

50:39

and actually. I'm thinking of

50:41

changing that question to

50:43

favorite celebrity food personality besides Anthony Bourdain. Yeah,

50:45

yeah, yeah, yeah, but I came up with

50:47

one though, I'm proud of myself for just

50:50

thinking out of the box. As am I.

50:52

What is your desert island food? So you're trapped on

50:55

a desert island, there's one food you're

50:57

gonna eat for the rest of your life, you'll never get tired of

50:59

it. I mean pizza.

51:02

Yeah, I should have seen that coming. That's

51:04

mine too actually, that's mine too. You can

51:06

ask that question, I think just like your

51:08

Bourdain question, the question would be, what's your

51:10

desert island food that's not pizza? A

51:13

lot of people don't say pizza, and

51:15

then a lot of people also take

51:17

it way too literally, they're like, well,

51:20

I would make a spear and catch

51:22

fish. I'm like, yeah, yeah, no, no.

51:24

Pizza, I think sushi might be a

51:26

good answer just because it feels

51:29

less heavy. But pizza to me

51:31

is equally good as a breakfast, a lunch

51:33

or a dinner. I

51:36

mean, yeah, the push comes to shove,

51:38

like if ever I eat something and

51:40

then later somebody gets pizza, I'm always

51:42

mad that I ate. Right. It's

51:46

the only thing, if I had pizza and someone gets

51:49

something else later, I don't care. But

51:51

if I have something else and someone gets pizza, I'm always like,

51:53

I should have waited. Is there a

51:55

food that you can't stand eating? Not

51:57

olives or mushrooms. And

52:00

I know it's weird. I like wish I could get over

52:02

those humps but I do. Wow. Those are like two of

52:04

my favorite things. Yeah and they're

52:06

both like big Mediterranean things.

52:10

It's like I'm constantly having to like dodge

52:13

those. Yeah. I don't know. Some and it's

52:15

funny because I like things with olive

52:18

or mushroom flavors. Yeah. I just can't

52:20

do olives or mushrooms. Right. I

52:23

could do olive topping. I could do like

52:25

really diced like olives like on as like

52:28

a topping. I just can't do it and

52:30

olive just makes me, it just gross me

52:32

out. Oh my God. Hilarious. And final question

52:35

which is my favorite question. What is or

52:37

what are your restaurant pet peeves? Biggest

52:40

one and it's like I

52:42

listen. I, I, you would have to do

52:44

something so egregious for me not to tip

52:46

you at least 18%. But

52:50

if my biggest restaurant pet peeve

52:52

is, and especially at

52:55

Mexican restaurants, is no attention

52:57

to keeping my water full.

53:00

Huh. Why are

53:02

we singling out the Mexican restaurants? Because,

53:04

because you're, it's spicy and you need

53:06

to be hydrated. Because they like bring

53:08

you just the spiciest fucking salsa and

53:10

chips and like they make you wait

53:12

like, like all the time I

53:14

go to these Mexican restaurants they bring me the

53:17

chips of salsa and me having my eating disorder

53:19

kind of just scarf that down as fast as

53:21

possible. And I like begged I begged I was

53:23

that I went to, what's it

53:25

called it's like a semi

53:27

chain popular place. So one in Hollywood one

53:30

in Echo Park for my friend's birthday and

53:32

I really liked it. Mexican

53:34

place. Yeah, El Compadre. I went

53:36

to El Compadre. Yeah. And, and I got there

53:38

and I got there a

53:40

little bit late and they ran out of

53:42

the cake. Can I get a water? I

53:44

asked like six times I ordered a drink

53:46

and I was like, like I thought I

53:49

was like, can I get a watermelon margarita?

53:51

And I said, but even more importantly, can

53:53

I please just get some water? And,

53:55

and the guy brought back my

53:58

watermelon margarita. No water. I was

54:00

like losing my mind. I

54:04

just, so it's extra on my mind

54:06

because that just happened. I also don't

54:08

like very interrupty waiters. Yeah.

54:11

Yeah. I always say it's the

54:14

double Dutch rule. You got to know when to jump in

54:16

to, you know, you can't just go in

54:18

mid conversation. Yeah. Yeah.

54:21

Just like, you know,

54:24

I empathize with any service person doing

54:26

anything. I have like a, like, I

54:28

don't care how bad you are. I

54:30

always think to myself, every job is

54:32

awful and I feel for you for

54:34

even having to have a job, but

54:38

do your best not to bother me. Stay

54:42

the fuck away from me. That's

54:46

what I have. I mean, I'm a 20% different. I'll

54:49

give more if I think there was exceptionality and

54:51

the worst I'll give is 18%. It's

54:53

like you were like rude and like the worst way.

54:56

Yeah. No, that makes sense.

54:59

That makes sense. All right. Well, Mexican restaurants, your

55:01

own blast. If Josh walks in, just put

55:03

the, put the Brita on the table, even

55:06

though he has an empty Brita, even though

55:08

his Brita is empty, yours better be fucking

55:10

full. Well, that was a late, that was

55:12

a late in the day photo, but, but

55:15

yeah, honestly, if I met a Mexican restaurant

55:17

and you keep my water full, I'll go

55:19

as high as 25% on that tip.

55:24

Amazing. Josh, thank you so much. All the people where

55:26
