1:04

If I could, I'd live there. And

1:07

Russell Matthews pulled out a can of Hawkins. And

1:10

he said, do you want to take a dip? And I said, no,

1:12

I don't want to throw up. And he goes, no,

1:14

no, no, no, this isn't bad. You should try

1:16

it. And I felt, I

1:19

felt my first chest hair come

1:21

out. I put in a dip

1:23

of Hawkins and we walked and it kicked

1:25

in and we talked and we

1:27

walked to the golf course and we took

1:29

it out. And

1:31

I was hooked. I

1:35

was hooked. And I was it was the first, you

1:38

know, Pinocchio had the Donkey Boys. That was my

1:40

first walk into the Donkey Boys. I tried a

1:42

cigarette after that. Fucking loved

1:44

cigarettes. I wasn't even doing it right. They taught

1:46

me how to inhale. Loved a cigarette. Had

1:48

you had a drink before that? No.

1:51

You did tobacco before anything. That was your

1:53

first substance. Before anything. Yeah. First substance. And

1:56

then and then I would get cigarettes

1:59

and we would walk. Around our neighborhood

2:01

7:57

be a little too long ago the

8:00

fucking hardest I've ever laughed. Eddie

8:03

Fernandez put his dog down and he was in

8:05

chapter and we're like, where's Chewie? And he goes,

8:07

he was the house dog. This

8:11

is a different time. Okay. They were,

8:13

it was a black, it was a black lab.

8:15

It was not a good looking

8:17

dog and it was, and it had ticks

8:19

and it was weird. And the dudes, no

8:21

one knew who did it, but someone was

8:24

taking a jock from the pool table, the

8:26

white chalk and put a line down Chewie's

8:28

back. So he looked like a scud. And

8:32

Eddie would get so fucking pissed. So

8:35

one day Eddie puts Chewie down.

8:37

He goes, comes into

8:39

chapter and is fucking 180 dudes,

8:42

right? 180 dudes. And

8:45

Eddie comes into chapter and stuff because where's Chewie? And he goes,

8:48

well, I put her down. I put

8:51

her down because the way you guys treated

8:53

Chewie, you didn't deserve that. She

8:55

was a great fucking dog. And we're all like,

8:57

fuck. And Jason Philimino

8:59

was Eddie's roommate. He

9:01

goes, Eddie, I, I

9:04

gotta tell you, man, I

9:06

was responsible for the skunk line a lot of times.

9:08

Like we just thought it was funny. And you

9:12

know, if you, for any reason, if I

9:14

had anything to do with the reason you

9:16

put Chewie down, thank

9:18

you. And Maroon

9:23

lit up Chewie for an hour.

9:25

They're like, that dog fucks so bad. A

9:27

week later, Chewie

9:30

shows the fuck back up. That

9:32

motherfucker never killed his goddamn dog.

9:34

He never killed his fucking dog.

9:36

And then Chewie showed up and

9:38

Chewie was like, guys, but because

9:41

we had trash Chewie so hard,

9:44

we ended up loving Chewie. Chewie

9:47

was like, Chewie is one of us now. But

9:50

I remember that as soon as everyone was like, I need a dip.

9:52

I need a dip right now. And

9:55

then, and then, and then this is about tobacco. This

9:57

is about tobacco. So then I. I

10:00

go to Europe, I smoke so much in Europe

10:02

that I end up not

10:04

enjoying it anymore. And I go home, I

10:06

say I'm done all tobacco. I'm done tobacco

10:10

and all of it. And then I go to one

10:12

softball, inter-real softball game and I put a

10:15

dip in and immediately I never felt addiction

10:17

that way. I went in and I felt

10:19

it kick in and I was like, God

10:21

damn it, I'm fucking back. I'm back on

10:24

dip. I can't fucking believe it. I

10:26

moved to New York and I can't find dip

10:28

and I don't want to smoke. So I quit. I quit

10:30

altogether. The second I moved to New York, I never did

10:32

it again. And I

10:35

moved out to LA and

10:38

my dad sends me some cigars. And

10:41

I had cigars before but I saw it to be

10:43

this highfalutin' thing that I didn't want to be a

10:45

part of. I opened the

10:47

French doors. I lived in Cecil B.

10:49

DeMille's old house. I opened the French

10:52

doors overlooking Hollywood and Highland and

10:54

I had a cigar by myself in the

10:56

house. Smoking inside a cigar inside is so

10:58

much sexier than outside in

11:00

my opinion. I had a cigar and

11:03

the nicotine from the cigar kicked in

11:05

and I felt a little

11:07

bit and I enjoyed a cigar. And

11:09

from that moment to this day,

11:12

I have enjoyed cigars effortlessly.

11:14

I love them so

11:17

much because it allows me, I think

11:19

it brings my blood pressure down. I've

11:21

really started smoking cigars. Now cut

11:24

to, I'm not drinking, I'm in LA,

11:26

I drive to the Rite Aid on the

11:28

corner of Fairfax and Sunset. And

11:32

I just started, I just met me in.

11:34

Right next to the griddle, bro. Yeah. Right

11:36

next to the griddle. And I said, and I

11:38

was like, ah, I said, you know what? I wouldn't mind,

11:40

I wouldn't mind some Red Man. I hadn't had Red Man

11:42

in a while. And I was like- And you actually would

11:44

chew back in the day too? Oh, yeah. Well-

11:48

I never did that. We did all of it. In

11:50

all of high school- You would put a pout up.

11:52

Yeah. And I- Did you ever

11:54

do the plug? Remember the one that had the plug? Yeah, of

11:56

course. Of course. Of

11:58

course. Hahahaha. I

12:07

bring up tobacco with the plug that

12:09

that plug of tobacco I never I

12:12

never got into that I would see it all the

12:14

time and I see dudes do it I'm like you're

12:16

a different type of dude you use a plug plug

12:18

and they had red man cut

12:21

12:23

just fall apart in your mouth you have to you

12:25

have to work it you'd get in your cheek and

12:27

you have to work it I never know you did

12:29

that one find its integrity in your fucking mouth Levi

12:33

Garrett's really great good but

12:35

red man totems were awesome they were this

12:37

long and it was a stick a plug

12:39

step that's it that's the one I'm thinking

12:41

yeah red man totems and

12:44

so I'm in New York I'm in LA I

12:46

haven't fucked with tobacco and probably and probably

12:49

seven years six years and I put

12:51

in a chew and immediately

12:54

I'm back immediately I'm

12:57

going I'm not gonna dip I don't want to

12:59

I was working with Jay more at the time Jay used

13:21

13:23

14:58

I remember at my lowest of

15:00

tobacco I was working with Jay Moore

15:02

we were in Brea and I walked

15:05

15:07

15:35

15:49

NOT I'm done and I

15:51

quit chewing tobacco that week I

15:54

never chewed again I never chewed

15:56

ever again I started smoking cigars every now and

15:58

then I'd have no guards No dip,

16:01

no chew, no nothing. And

16:04

then this soon to be fat

16:06

fuck again, Tom Segura says to me, have you

16:08

had rogues? I

16:14

go, what the fuck's rogue? And he goes,

16:16

dude, they're awesome. And

16:19

I'd seen like all the busting with the boys

16:21

guys did it. All the fucking, all the bar

16:23

stool guys all put Zins in their mouth. I'd

16:25

go to the same gillis, eat

16:28

some like tic tacs and I'm like fuck

16:30

man. I've wanted to

16:32

flirt with them. For so long I've

16:35

been flirting with Zins. I'd buy Zins, I'd buy

16:37

cans and smell it. It would remind me of

16:39

my pledge ship of being a pledge and I

16:42

buy a can of Copanang and I put my tongue and

16:44

I put my tongue in it and taste it and then I spit it

16:46

out. Dude.

16:49

You'd buy a whole can just to lick it a little

16:51

bit and then throw it out. We

16:54

drove Georgia to college and I bought

16:56

cans of Copanang and licked them and

16:58

smelled them.

17:02

Smelled them and it would bring me back

17:04

to being, it would bring me back to.

17:06

Isn't it crazy in the styles of the

17:08

way smell just ties to memories like that.

17:10

It's insane. Music to David Allen Co with

17:13

a can of Copanang and

17:15

I learned how to drink over the Copanang

17:17

again so I could drink and chew.

17:19

And swallow and chill. Oh Coach Kent

17:21

said, you know, real men swallow it. Real

17:24

men don't spit. And I was like, okay.

17:27

So I started doing that. That's not good

17:29

for you. Dude, I remember so the older

17:31

times, right? Like, yeah, tell me if you

17:33

had any of this. Our little league baseball

17:35

coach smoked. Oh, right in our face. Like

17:38

I talk about he would lean over you and

17:40

show you how to bunt with a cigarette and

17:42

your, your eyes are burning and he's like, why

17:44

don't you get down? Like, cause your fucking cigarettes

17:46

burn and shit out of my eyes. Alan Reger's

17:48

mom. Look how Alan Reger's right in our face.

17:50

Alan Reger's mom would drive us to the beach

17:52

and smoke with the windows up. Yeah. Dude,

17:55

I flew to Europe

17:57

with my buddy, Weecho. We

18:00

picked smoking section on the plane. They

18:02

have a smoking section. You have never

18:04

realized how little you smoke until you

18:06

sit around smokers on a fucking plane.

18:09

Both of us are throwing up like, this

18:11

is disgusting. The whole plane is a smoking

18:13

section with someone smoking on it. It was,

18:16

I have not smoked

18:18

a cigarette in, so

18:21

it's twenty, probably

18:24

two when I went to Europe. So,

18:26

in roughly thirty years I have not smoked

18:28

a cigarette. I haven't taken

18:30

a dip in thirty years. I

18:33

have smoked cigars. I

18:35

love cigars. I love cigars. I

18:38

love everything about cigars. I love the history

18:40

of the cigars. I love everything

18:44

about cigars. When I quit

18:47

drinking for this big chunk, cigars

18:49

were my go to. You joint the cigar. A joint in

18:51

a cigar. I mean, a fucking

18:54

Tatwaje cigar, a nice big bold

18:56

cigar joint, and then a cigar in the back

18:59

porch was my every night. I said, I got

19:01

to stop on these cigars. The day we went to

19:03

my cruise, we were in Miami, and Ryan,

19:07

the same little addiction thing came out. I

19:10

was like, we got there, we landed,

19:12

and off the plane, I didn't drink on the plane. I

19:14

was like, I want to hit a

19:16

vape pen, and I want to have a cigar. Let's

19:18

go to a cigar lounge. We went to a cigar

19:20

lounge and sat with these men that also in the

19:22

smoking cigars, and Leanne came, and Leanne was like, ugh.

19:25

But had the best fucking conversation,

19:28

best fucking conversation, and had

19:30

a cigar. I felt the kick of the

19:32

nicotine when you get towards like halfway through,

19:34

you feel it almost. I was

19:37

like, goddamn it, I fucking love cigars. He's like, I

19:39

got to quit smoking cigars. I'm smoking them every fucking

19:41

day. I'm smoking sometimes two a day.

19:44

I have one in the full fucking cigar.

19:46

I saw you. Yeah, that's a

19:48

fat one out there he had. And

19:50

I said, I got to quit the cigars because I would be like,

19:53

we'd go to Austin. How long does it take you to

19:55

smoke a full cigar like that? Like 45 minutes. Are you

19:57

doing it in one session, or are you putting it in

19:59

one bag? No, no, no, no, I'm by the

20:01

way shoutouts were on Bennington I remember one time

20:03

talking about scars and he said I have more

20:05

scars than I'll ever fucking smoke I'll never get

20:07

through all the scars that I have and he

20:09

goes I don't like it I'll just I'll just

20:11

fucking have a new one And so I started

20:13

going like I have so many fucking scars because

20:15

people send me scars scar manufacturers reach out to

20:17

me like tat's why hey I'm

20:22

named mall right now, but they will send

20:24

me boxes so I boxes and boxes of

20:26

cigars So if I didn't like a cigar I'd

20:28

start it Maybe I'd have a cup of coffee if you Smoked

20:31

a little bit of cigar put the scar on me like fuck I'm done with

20:33

it, but I said to myself I

20:36

gotta quit cigars because I'm smoking too many of

20:38

them and Then that soon

20:40

to be fat fuck Introduced

20:42

me to zen's and I will tell you I

20:45

will tell you The

20:48

second so we did rogues. I

20:50

didn't really the rogues didn't kick as much

20:53

They were fine. They were fine. We were dabbling

20:55

in rogues and then We

20:57

got a can of zen's I

20:59

had gotten high after a show I'm not

21:01

really drinking much after my shows these days

21:04

at all really and I

21:06

got high and I put his in and And

21:09

my fingers started tingling all of it came

21:11

back all of it came back like It's

21:15

just he's just taste a little wintergreen nicotine

21:18

it is So beautiful first

21:20

and bring up Hawken that's

21:22

yeah Hawkins the gateway drug. It's the finger

21:24

in the pussy If

21:28

you're looking to fuck Hawkins the finger in the

21:30

pussy Skull mint is

21:33

neck kissing, but fucking Copenhagen is

21:35

anal sex. It is so good

21:39

Cigars more like just like flirting and texting

21:41

in my opinion and I'll tell you right

21:43

now these zen's There's maybe and

21:46

and Peters has addicted as I am because I got

21:48

him addicted because I got addicted I was like I'm

21:50

not going into this alone. I

21:52

said I said listen It's not

21:54

bad for us if we just do it for a short period so

21:57

we're quitting January 1st, we're

21:59

quitting But we, I

22:02

put it online, I was like, how many zins

22:05

are too many zins? Because we're, six milligrams is

22:07

the ones we're doing, and I've

22:09

a cup of coffee and a zin, and

22:12

you are so fucking creative. You are

22:14

so dialed in. You are so, it's

22:16

a buzz. It's, and I gotta

22:18

be honest with you, I think sometimes I don't drink

22:20

because I want to have a zin. I

22:23

had a buddy one time, he, his

22:25

brother had sent them some Cubans from Florida,

22:28

and also some rum, but the rum broke

22:30

in the package and soaked the cigars, so

22:32

he let them dry, sun dry, and he's

22:35

like, let's just try them. Let

22:37

me tell you something, Burke Reisher, I got so

22:39

fucked up smoking a rum

22:41

soaked cigar. I got fucked, I had

22:43

to put it out. I'm like, I'm

22:45

fucked up. They, uh,

22:48

brothers. Happy accident. Black dudes

22:51

love, my dad, there's a, they

22:54

love brothers. Black dudes.

22:57

Black men. Black men love

22:59

a little bit of cognac in their, in

23:02

their humidor and to let it seep into

23:04

the cigars. Oh, is that right? That's the

23:06

thing, brand new stereotype. But

23:10

I've only known two black guys to do it, but I've never known

23:12

anyone else to do it other than these black dudes. And so I,

23:15

and those cigars fucking kick. Oh,

23:17

but. They're fucking awesome. Dude, I,

23:19

I mean, I get nostalgic. I just did

23:21

a show in Winston Salem and I was

23:23

like, oh, big tobacco, baby. Let's go look

23:25

at their houses. Like, I wouldn't fucking. Remember

23:27

NASCAR used to have skull bandits in Winston.

23:29

It was a Winston cup for, they got

23:31

rid of tobacco out of the whole thing.

23:33

Yeah. I'm going to be a

23:36

skull guy riding around out there and shit. It's the

23:38

coolest conversations. I remember Bill Burr would call me up

23:40

and be like, yo, you want to have a cigar

23:42

and just come over, we'll have a cigar and just

23:44

chop it up. No booze, just smoking cigars.

23:46

It's the coolest fucking thing you can do as a

23:48

man is have a cigar with another man. I've done

23:50

it with Tommy so many times, like his

23:53

neighbors, a big cigar guy. And so I remember one

23:55

of the first times I was in Austin, we went

23:57

to his house, went up to his Porch

23:59

and. Cigars. You're talking shit and

24:01

I fucking love it. I love that

24:03

Rogan smoke. Cigars know because it's so.

24:06

It's so not. I mean I a I

24:08

just say this, but it's so. Some

24:11

their never thought joe do. I never thought he

24:13

was just now cigar guy. And.

24:15

I remember the first time I went in.

24:18

Joseph, your cigar knows like sparking. Thank you

24:20

24:22
