19:33
that isn't it. Why
19:36
don't you treat it more like
19:38
a hobby? You've
19:42
made a complete
19:45
de-hear-of-life. All the
19:47
stars you've gone through, that
19:49
should be fine. Now
19:51
Is it time for you to
19:54
settle down? Comedy is all I
19:56
know. Comedy is all I know.
20:03
When I mean million. They

pop charts if you just borrowed a few
22:10
ideas. How do you think
22:13
I invented the telephone? It's
22:25
time to do some
22:27
research. Let's take a
22:29
moment and be Influenced
22:33
by someone
22:35
else's creativity.
22:40
Let's melt this
22:42
muse. The originality
22:45
ain't required. Let's
22:49
take a minute and
22:53
get inspired. Let's
22:57
listen to some chords
23:01
that we've always
23:03
admired. Give
23:05
me some rhymes, my
23:07
melody, that never
23:10
sounds high. Don't know
23:13
a new song is
23:15
what you need. There's
23:17
no need to perspire
23:19
so. Let's
23:21
take a moment to be
23:26
inspired. And
23:29
you can tell everybody
23:32
this isn't not your
23:34
song. And
23:37
you can tell everybody
23:39
if you just stay
23:42
alone. Just
23:45
say the word, just say
23:47
the word, say the word I see.
23:54
Somebody else is in the
23:57
wake of this. This
24:03
ain't the world here, this
24:05
ain't the nose now, and
24:07
everyone else needs. I
24:13
wonder who your song is
24:15
when you're tired just like
24:18
me. Alright
24:23
folks, my next character card is,
24:25
let's see, Neil
24:28
Young. This
24:32
is Neil Young, I'm going to sing a song about Spilled
24:34
Bong Water. Please
24:37
don't spill your bong
24:39
water on me. Let's
24:46
smell the gooey, it'll
24:49
stick with you till
24:51
you die. Don't
24:55
ask me why. Don't
25:01
spill your bong water
25:03
on me. There
25:09
comes a time,
25:12
bong needs cleaning.
25:16
There comes a time to
25:18
scrape out the torn.
25:23
Remove the
25:25
resin, replace
25:28
the water. If
25:32
it spills, it won't be
25:34
so bad. Say,
25:37
can I please? Oh,
25:48
oh, oh, oh, oh,
25:50
oh, oh, oh. Oh,
25:52
oh, oh, oh, oh,
25:55
oh, oh, oh. Uh,
28:00
can you not use the F
28:02
word when you're effing me in
28:04
my F hole? What
28:07
the fuck is this? You stole my bit.
28:10
You stole my bit. No,
28:12
it's dice in a cup
28:15
and it's sixty-six, not fifty-two,
28:17
okay? It's the same thing.
28:19
It's a dice instead of... You just stole my essence
28:21
of my whole bit. You stole my essence. The essence?
28:23
Yes. Maybe the
28:26
spirit, but not the essence, okay? This
28:29
is such bullshit, man. Everybody said I came
28:31
out here with fifty-two cards and you come out
28:33
here with sixty-six numbers and a dice. Well,
28:36
at least all the characters are all different
28:38
from yours. You know, it's like fourteen.
28:42
You've heard of Paul Reiser. This is Paul
28:44
Vapo Reiser. Hey,
28:48
I was on Mad About You, but I'm
28:50
on Mad About Two. What's
28:52
the weed on my vaporite? What the
28:54
fuck? That's terrible. No,
28:56
it's not. It's good. It's
28:59
totally different from your... Paul
29:01
Vapo Reiser. Yes. Right. That
29:04
sucks, man. Will
29:07
you tell that to Paul Vapo Reiser, okay? Alright.
29:19
Thanks, YouTube. Let's
29:21
try it that cold, play riff. The
29:27
teeth of my spoons.
29:33
I don't go for the spoons.
29:36
Yeah. That's the word
29:38
I ask, pearls. I
29:41
don't go for the other girls.
29:44
You do the white-ass
29:46
pearls. I don't go
29:48
for the other girls. I
29:51
do the white-ass
29:53
pearls. I don't go
29:56
for the other girls.
30:00
Oh, whoa, whoa,
30:03
don't leave the green room. You
30:10
stole my bit. You don't
30:12
use dice. I use cards. Same
30:15
thing. Not in Vegas. Oh,
30:17
what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,
30:19
right? Old reference. You should
30:21
use that. Oh, but then you will use
30:23
it. Look, I didn't steal your bit. My
30:26
bit is totally different. Oh, so you've been
30:28
thinking about this. If it's the same act,
30:31
then why didn't you get booked on the
30:33
big talk show? Fuck you. You
30:36
stole that Neil Young impression from Jimmy
30:39
Fallon. How can you steal an impression?
30:42
Well, everybody knows that Fallon does
30:44
the Neil Young impression. I've been doing
30:46
Neil Young since Harvest. What
30:49
Harvest? That weed you
30:51
sell? Oh, so I'm supposed to stop
30:53
my impression just because someone more famous
30:55
is doing it? I
30:57
need to stop it because he does it better. Why
31:00
don't you go sell some weed,
31:02
loser? Alexander
31:04
Graham Bell had successfully inspired
31:06
Phil to find his next
31:09
song on YouTube. And
31:11
now Phil was fully into Viva
31:13
La Vida. You
31:19
keep the white
31:21
and brown, I don't
31:24
go for those other girls.
31:26
You keep the white and
31:29
brown, I don't go
31:31
for those other girls.
31:36
Meanwhile, Matt wasn't going to let
31:38
Young comic get away with his
31:40
theft. Yeah,
31:46
you know, this week we're talking to an old friend. I
31:48
don't know, maybe he's an old enemy. I don't even know
31:50
anymore. Matt, welcome to the What the Hell podcast. First off,
31:52
are we good? Yeah, sure.
31:55
We're good. Great. Fine. Fuck.
31:59
Let's get into it, man. is that you're accusing
32:01
young comic is stealing your material.
32:04
What is all that about? In
32:06
comedy, it comes down to
32:08
respect. My
32:11
best bet has been
32:14
stolen from me. Once
32:19
it's on TV,
32:22
it's dead in the water.
32:26
Blood, sweat,
32:29
tears went into that vent.
32:33
It's a huge mess. I
32:40
had a reason to
32:43
make everybody laugh. All
32:47
is imperfection. You'd
32:50
make a sad mess, you'd a
32:52
past. Suddenly,
32:55
a cat took
32:58
a bite out of my bed.
33:01
He told himself a fine
33:03
track. He
33:05
sent me here with his shit. My
33:09
best bet has
33:13
been taken from me.
33:17
And now it's
33:21
on TV, these are my
33:23
day heads. That
33:25
exact object
33:27
took me part in
33:30
front of him. He
33:32
took my big brother.
33:38
He said, hey, I won't
33:40
do anything. Alternative
33:42
without a doubt. A
33:46

33:48

45:40
over a bid. The guild will either.
45:51
Way I. say
46:00
Hey, Phil! Phil? Hey,
46:02
Phil! My name is
46:04
Music Critic from Garden Home Music Blogs.
46:06
Can I ask you a few questions?
46:08
Sorry... I'm about to
46:10
do my set. Oh, really? I wanted
46:12
to just talk with you for a
46:15
second about your new popular song. Have
46:17
you noticed how the chord progressions and
46:19
harmony scheme are exactly like that old
46:21
Coldplay song? I haven't noticed, sorry, but
46:23
right now I've got to go Coldplay.
46:25
I-I-I mean, play. I gotta play. Have
46:27
you really not noticed the similarities? It
46:29
seems like you would, you know, Phil?
46:32
I used to think you're a really
46:34
good singer-songwriter. Really original. A lot
46:37
of your fans like me want to know. Okay.
46:40
Alright, buddy. Let's leave Phil alone before
46:42
the show. Here's my card. Give me
46:45
a call. We'll set something up. These
46:47
are questions that need to be answered,
46:49
Phil! Music fans
46:52
demand the truth! Don't
46:54
be a sell-out! Sell-out! Sell-out!
47:01
Sell-out? Alright, pal. No
47:03
need for that. Come on, Phil. Let's go
47:05
back to stage. Did
47:08
you hear that? You called
47:10
me a sell-out. Mate, you're
47:12
a sell-out. No,
47:16
make out! Make
47:18
my celly out! Oh,
47:23
hell, hell, hell. I can't
47:26
take it. I
47:37
can't take it. I can't take
47:39
it. I can't take
47:41
it. Absolutely possible.
47:45
Phil, be a new story.
47:47
You can be an artist, though. Trust me,
47:49
you got a strike on the Iron We
48:01
need just one more hit.
48:04
Yeah, meanwhile, it's my reputation that takes
48:06
the hit. Listen to me,
48:08
Phil, you don't have a reputation. You
48:11
will make a bitch.
48:18
Jen Comet, I just gave IMAX the light
48:21
and you're up next. Oh, and there's
48:23
a Bachelorette party requesting you do your
48:25
sexy dice bid. Okay,
48:27
gotcha. So,
48:29
anyway, now they got me in a
48:31
triple holding deal while I work on
48:33
the script for the first movie. Ha,
48:35
yeah, that's great, young comic! Dude, you
48:38
are great! I've been telling people
48:40
that forever, man. Hey, you want
48:42
some weed? It's pretty shitty, but it'll get
48:44
you high enough. No, thanks. I
48:47
need to keep my mind clear for my
48:49
big show tomorrow. Hey, thief, what's up? You
48:52
want to fight in here or do you want
48:54
to step outside? You've got to be kidding me,
48:56
old man. You're still on this trip.
48:59
I need to be a du-a-bitch. I
49:01
need to be a du-a-bitch. I
49:03
need to be a du-a-bitch. Don't
49:05
be a bitch, you fucking asshole! No
49:10
one wants to see you. Anyway, you
49:13
know I want to hear you. Who's
49:15
the card? I don't want to hear it.
49:17
All you're gonna see, I don't want to
49:20
hear it. All you're gonna see, I don't
49:22
want to hear it. All you're
49:24
doing is why I don't want to hear it. You're
49:27
a federal fuck! Go
49:29
my ass, go my ass! Go
49:32
my ass, go my ass! Go
49:34
my ass, go my ass, man! Go
49:37
my ass, go my ass! Remember,
49:40
you're a big
49:42
person. I was just
49:44
feeling different. It's
49:47
like you're on me, feeling my
49:49
ideas. You
49:53
can't keep up, you can't keep up, you can't keep up! I'm
49:56
a mess with the world.
50:00
If you're out on hit,
50:03
win the world's act! I see
50:05
a hat! I see a hat!
50:07
I see a hat! You're
50:09
just a fucking hat! I'm
50:12
cute, I'm a hat! Oh!
50:15
Ha ha ha ha! This
50:18
conversation is over and
50:20
done. The end.
50:25
How you guys enjoying the waffles? Can I get you anything else?
50:27
Oh no, no, no! What's happened to me? This
50:29
is great honey, can we get a refresher on
50:32
the coffees? You got it, hon. Excuse
50:35
me, can I sit here or do I have to
50:37
wait for a hostess? See yourself sweetheart. Oh,
50:39
what happened to your eye? Can I get
50:41
you an ice pack? An ice pack would be great, thanks.
50:44
And you two guys, I'll be right back with your coffee.
50:47
You're not getting nothing to eat? I
50:49
can eat. I'm getting sued by Coldplay.
50:52
I can't believe this. You said this
50:54
wouldn't happen. You said it was totally
50:56
impossible. What can I say?
50:58
I underestimated the reach of Coldplay and
51:00
sound recognition software. Look,
51:02
just lawyer up. Come to a settlement and you'll
51:04
still walk away with some money. Uh,
51:08
okay, alright. Well, where are we gonna get
51:10
a lawyer? You mean where are
51:12
you gonna get a lawyer? Why what? Don't
51:15
worry buddy, I know a guy. This stuff
51:17
happens all the time. Besides,
51:19
a bad reputation is exactly what
51:22
your career needs. Well,
51:24
I said it once before, but I think if
51:26
there's a reason, you'll never beat
51:28
the game. If you can take a little
51:31
beating, just say it. What's
51:34
a reputation? What's
51:39
a reputation? It's so cold.
51:42
I'm feeling better. I'm
51:44
feeling better. Man,
51:48
a reputation. Little
51:52
is you, low and loose, acute, I freak keep
51:54
reading. Now you're free,
51:56
it's a day of disusing. I finally believe it.
52:00

52:44
your cock out the kitchen so below
52:47
I need you you
52:49
are a representation ooooh
52:52

52:55
ooooh you got a representation
52:59
ooooh you got a representation ooooh
53:03
you got it a
53:06
wheel lucky jay
53:08
jay but
53:10
but what about hey kid give me a call
53:12
when you hear a song that gives you a new
53:14
idea dust a fucking die
53:18
hey excuse me are you a musician yes
53:22
you are a musician yes
53:24
you're the fucking coldplay guy you're the
53:26
dude that stole the coldplay song aren't
53:28
you I
53:30
didn't steal the coldplay song oh
53:33
my god what is wrong with
53:35
people like you stop
53:37
with that you stole their song man I
53:39
did not steal the coldplay song okay listen
53:42
there was a vibe I like coldplay I
53:44
heard the song wait wait did you say
53:46
vibe that's exactly the
53:48
same word that that that that Robin
53:50
Thicke dude and Pharrell used when they
53:52
stole Marvin Gaye's song that's what they
53:55
said we're taking his vibe what is
53:57
that okay what it is is okay
54:00
You're not a musician. You might not know
54:02
that there are only 12 notes in this
54:04
scale. It just is party sounds.
54:06
One of the 12 notes in the scale.
54:08
They took literally party sounds just like they
54:10
have in that Marvin K song. You're not
54:12
gonna say that's a direct steal? How
54:15
many studios you've ever been in? There are parties
54:17
in every studio. When people are recording, it's just
54:19
something they're working with. It's not... Oh my god,
54:22
dude. That is such a stretch. They stole that.
54:25
We have that... I'm a stand-up. We
54:27
have stealers in our industry too. How
54:30
many comedians out there have stolen
54:32
the essence of David Tal or
54:34
Sarah Silverman or Louis C.K.? Even
54:37
Dane Cook, Chris Rock, Richard Pryor?
54:39
It's like, get your own essence,
54:41
dude. Alright. I have a
54:43
question for you. Fine. Do you like Led Zeppelin? Alright.
54:46
I should have guessed you'd bring this up. Yes, I
54:48
like Led Zeppelin. Yes, you like Led Zeppelin. Yes,
54:50
I like... Who doesn't like Led Zeppelin? Exactly.
54:53
And they borrowed, they took other
54:55
people's ideas, they polished them up,
54:57
and they made them even better.
54:59
Okay, I've heard that with the
55:01
Blues musicians, sure. But what about
55:03
that one band? They took the
55:05
Stairway to Heaven, the most known
55:07
intro of all time. They took note for
55:10
note from that band and never gave them
55:12
any credit or anything. Yeah, but there you
55:14
go. You can't think of the name of
55:17
the band that they apparently borrowed from. Ah,
55:21
it's on the tip of my tongue. But that
55:23
doesn't make it right. Is that what you're saying?
55:25
If anyone ever steals something, they
55:27
better do it better? Do you think that you did...
55:29
Oh, I see. You think you did Coldplay songs better
55:31
than Coldplay? Is that what you're saying? I'm not saying
55:34
that. I'm saying that I... That's what you just said.
55:36
I am saying I borrowed an essence
55:38
from Coldplay to create something of my
55:40
own, it's an homage. You're a fucking
55:42
thief, man. Look, I am not a
55:44
thief. Why are you so
55:46
angry anyway? I'm upset because people
55:49
have stolen my bits, man. Someone
55:51
stole my bit. Well,
55:54
it doesn't even make sense. I mean,
55:56
you're a stand-up comic. You're just talking
55:58
about your personal life. Well
56:01
maybe I don't talk about my personal life,
56:03
dude. Oh, I get
56:06
it, you're a gimmick comic. What the fuck is that
56:08
supposed to mean? It means you
56:10
got a gimmick, like Gallagher. They're sent
56:12
in the prop or something involved, so
56:14
you're afraid that if someone steals your
56:17
gimmick then you got nothing left. You'll
56:19
never have an original idea again. Oh,
56:21
I just had an original idea. How
56:24
about I take you to the ground, motherfucker?
56:27
You touch my shoulder one more time. I'm gonna
56:29
crack you. Are you sure that's your shoulder or
56:31
did you steal that shoulder from somebody else? Hey.
56:36
Watch me wonder. Watch me wonder. Ahh.
56:39
Go, go, go. Go, go. Go,
56:42
go, go. Get to the spirit. What's
56:44
the spirit's name of the brain? Go and
56:46
go, go. Okay, alright, alright. Take it easy,
56:48
guys. Let's break it up. You
56:50
guys are way too out of shape
56:52
to be fighting. He hit me first,
56:55
officer. He's a thief. Believe me, it's
56:57
the only thing this guy's done first
56:59
in a while. He stole something from
57:01
you? No, he stole somebody's song. He
57:03
stole a song? Look, I only borrowed
57:05
some elements. Oh, the best elements. The
57:07
elements that made it a hit song.
57:10
What's wrong with you people? You
57:12
just take people's ideas whenever you
57:14
want and you find these convoluted
57:16
rationalizations for your theft. Hold on
57:18
now. Did he just sample the song?
57:21
Sampling is okay if you pay for it. No,
57:23
he stole the whole chord progression and the harmonies.
57:26
Basically everything but the words. In
57:28
his words, his lyrics? They're stupid.
57:30
He rhymes pearls with girls. You
57:33
can't arrest a guy for bad lyrics. Whoa,
57:38
what you sniffing there, boy? Hey,
57:41
whose backpack is this? It's
57:43
mine. I have food
57:45
in there. Oh, yeah? Your dog's probably after
57:47
my food. Well,
57:50
looky here. Somebody
57:53
thinks they're living in Colorado.
57:56
Okay, buddy, let's get into the back of my
57:58
car and we'll go downtown and- Talk about
58:00
you're a parent. Glaucoma can mean.
58:03
She's. Fucking Christ. Put
58:05
your hands behind your back
58:08
home on know. You.
58:11
Have the right prior
58:13
editing and will begin
58:15
in a court of
58:17
law. Has
58:19
a right to search for
58:21
that. Way.
58:47
Officer. Dad. Bag
58:49
as mine testis my buddy covering
58:52
for me. This. Is your
58:54
bag? Are you guys dealing together
58:56
though? Officer? It's all me he
58:58
doing. Don't even know me
59:00
because you cease and I went
59:02
to free you. In which you're right,
59:06
I must seize. On a
59:08
Server Don't A Jail or songs. About
59:11
Fast This is a drug problem. Alexander
59:32
Graham down the mice A
59:34
great way to. Silly.
59:43
We merely stand him with the
59:46
lightning done that Bell and I
59:48
invented together. The. law officer
59:50
will be fine in a few
59:52
weeks you to together i thought
59:54
you hated bell years i deserved
59:57
to be aged i took a
59:59
great time which would have
1:00:01
made his career. But Elisha bounced
1:00:03
back! All true
1:00:05
geniuses have more than one good
1:00:07
idea. Louis C.K. recovered
1:00:09
after Dane Cook stole his itchy
1:00:12
butthole bit. You can
1:00:14
only hold a grudge for so long. Besides,
1:00:16
most people in the netherworld are idiots. So
1:00:18
who else can I hang out with? I'm
1:00:21
sure you have many questions right now,
1:00:23
like what was that electric tornado that
1:00:25
made us appear out of nowhere? And
1:00:28
can you really still invent stuff when you
1:00:30
die and you're living in the ghost world?
1:00:32
Well, we don't have time to answer those
1:00:34
questions now. Now is the time
1:00:37
to get revenge on Young
1:00:39
Comic. Yeah, yeah, yeah, now you're
1:00:41
talking. See
1:00:45
you later, Young Comic. Great set tonight, man.
1:00:47
Thanks, Rister. Need a ride
1:00:49
on the back of my motorcycle? I'll take
1:00:51
you anywhere, man. I don't have to be anywhere
1:00:53
at any time. So, like, I can go across
1:00:55
town, whatever. Rister, I can't
1:00:58
risk hurting myself on a motorcycle the
1:01:00
night before taping my sick cop pilot
1:01:02
for the big netherworld. Oh, yeah, right,
1:01:04
right. Well, any time you want
1:01:06
to borrow my motorcycle or whatever, just
1:01:09
tell me. Cool. Good
1:01:12
night, man. You're the best. Ah,
1:01:16
look who came back. Do
1:01:19
you really want me to kick your old ass again?
1:01:22
Something like that. Wait, who
1:01:24
are you guys? I'm Alexander
1:01:26
Graham Bell. Pleased
1:01:28
to shock you. What? Where
1:01:39
am I? You've never been down here
1:01:41
before? This is the basement of
1:01:43
the comedy club. Oh,
1:01:46
I guess only the old Podhead
1:01:48
comedians hang out down here, huh?
1:01:51
Ah, come on. Stop joking around.
1:01:53
Just let me go. You're
1:01:56
not going anywhere. You stole.
1:02:00
So you must have- AHHH!
1:02:02
AHH! AHH! Yeah!
1:02:05
Stop it! Now you are starting to know how
1:02:07
it feels to be stolen from! It
1:02:09
hurts! They just want you to admit that
1:02:12
you stole the bit! Then they'll let you
1:02:14
go! I didn't steal your stupid fucking bit!
1:02:16
Woah! Just admit it,
1:02:19
man. It will make you feel better!
1:02:21
The truth will set you
1:02:23
free! AHHH! Yes, yes,
1:02:25
it's true! I went through a
1:02:28
period of denial. All the
1:02:30
fame and fortune made me forget the
1:02:32
true origin of the idea! I
1:02:34
even convinced myself of my own lie!
1:02:37
Say the truth, it will
1:02:39
set you free! Okay, fine! I
1:02:42
stole the bit! I knew it! You stole it!
1:02:44
You know what? I made it
1:02:46
better! The dice are more
1:02:49
dynamic! Audiences have more fun
1:02:51
rolling the dice than they do picking the
1:02:53
cards! Besides you only had 52 characters.
1:02:56
I have 66! That's window
1:02:59
dressing, that's not making it better! You've been
1:03:01
doing that tired old bit for years. Old
1:03:04
references and all. Yeah, it's
1:03:06
called polishing. Whatever, I said it! Now let
1:03:08
me go! Good. It feels good to say
1:03:10
it out loud, doesn't it? No, he still
1:03:12
doesn't get it! He's not
1:03:14
showing any remorse! Mel! Bring
1:03:17
out the telephonic earpieces! With
1:03:20
pleasure, Elisha! What's a telephonic
1:03:22
earpiece? Just a little torture
1:03:24
device that Alexander and I
1:03:27
devised, based on Bell's electromagnetic
1:03:29
design and my water membrane
1:03:32
theory. Hey, hey! Come
1:03:34
on, come on! Get that off my head! You're gonna
1:03:36
make him deaf! Wouldn't that be fair?
1:03:39
So he can never hear another joke
1:03:41
again to steal for his own! Wouldn't
1:03:44
that indeed be justice? Everything
1:03:46
is set, my dear Elisha! Don't
1:03:49
turn it on! Don't turn it on! You've got to stop
1:03:51
them! Oh, yeah,
1:03:53
I mean, isn't this a little extreme
1:03:55
for stealing an idea? Is this what
1:03:57
you wanted? You know what I'm saying? Los.
1:04:35
Angeles, the city of angels, his
1:04:37
ear, our story answer for that.

He never wrote another hit songs
1:04:41
that he didn't find. Redemption and
1:04:43

1:04:47
I wrote out of the music industry.
