Starting point is 00:00:00 100% Brand new episode of two bears one cave my buddy Tom is in Turkey getting a consultation Hair transplants really yeah, it's a strange thing. We were just talking about this coming upstairs It I am out of I'm getting older and I don't know if it's okay to try to do Like get hair transplants to look younger. You know? I have teeth implants to look younger. Molar's in the back.
Starting point is 00:00:32 Hang on, you know that's like a real thing. You know about that, right? When you start getting older, you start losing your molars. Everything's implanted when you get older. I have four joints that have been implanted. For real? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Arthritis.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Do you have arthritis? Yeah. You're in shape, you hike all the, my guest is Kevin Nealon. You're in shape, you're in shape. You do your hiking podcast. Yeah, it's not really hiking though, it's kinda more like strolling at this point.
Starting point is 00:00:59 Conan wore a collared shirt. Some people, Bobcat Goldthwait showed up with a cup of coffee. Really? Yeah. And David Spade didn't want to hike any kind of an incline. David, he's got a bad back. I think it's a neck, but it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:01:14 It's a neck, yeah. That's his problem, it's not my problem. Not my problem. You know what I mean? That was a really fascinating one you did with David Spade. That was a while ago, right? Yeah, that was a while ago. But you know, we're walking along, he goes,
Starting point is 00:01:24 are we going up a hill? It was like a and he goes, are we going up a hill? It was like a 1% grade. Are we going up a hill? God, you have the best group of friends. Like your friend list is like wild. I don't even have a list. Oh, I do, it's in this book. Everyone you've had interactions with is in this book.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Oh no, no, there's a lot of people missing from that book. I know, but like when like, like you're friends with Dana Carvey. Yeah, yeah. I think that guy is so cool. He is cool, we've known each other a long time. We knew each other from the clubs, you know, like in San Francisco that are no longer there.
Starting point is 00:01:57 And we know we were both single at the time and doing standup and yeah, I've known him for a long time. And we talk often. Yeah, is it crazy like you meet these dudes when you're young and you just have a dream and then you succeed and then you become grown men that still are in the business of just being silly? Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:02:20 I think kind of in a way we never grow up because we just enjoy that kind of a compartment so much. We like being in that compartment and it doesn't, when you see everybody else around you that's not there, you go, I don't want that. I can't imagine. Like when I talk to my business manager and he tries to explain stuff, I just tune out.
Starting point is 00:02:41 And I'm like, can you believe they do that for a living? I know. I mean, like, I'm shocked at all the jobs I couldn't have. What do you think made you a comedian? Because I have another question, a follow-up question. What do you think made you the comedian that you are? Because you are maybe the king of Ted Pan. I am.
Starting point is 00:03:03 I am really dry. Dry? And dark though. I mean buddy, when I was in, I was trying to do the math today and I couldn't do it quicker, quick enough. Subliminal man, when I was a kid watching that. I saw you take a little moment
Starting point is 00:03:16 to figure out how to pronounce that. Subliminal. Subliminal. A lot of you are in trouble with that. I'm not a good talker. Subliminal. Do you know what it is sometimes when you get these job offers and you don't want to do it, but it's such a great offer, you have to do it because you would regret it
Starting point is 00:03:32 the rest of your life? It was the same with me when, like with the Tonight Show, a long time ago with Johnny Carson, it's all you wanted to do was to stand up, was get on that talk show. And then they say, okay, you're gonna do it. And you go, oh no, oh no. And then your name was like out there, you're doing it. And they, you're gonna do it, and you go, oh no, oh no. And then your name is out there, you're doing it,
Starting point is 00:03:48 and now I gotta do it, because they were advertising it. And then you do it, and it's crazy, and then you go on with your life thing, and I did it. I don't have any regrets. Sometimes, I've had a couple buddies now, host SNL, and we were watching on my bus, watching one of them do it, and everyone's like, Bert, would you do that? My instinct is to say yes, obviously.
Starting point is 00:04:08 But the second I hosted it, I'd regret it. I'd regret accepting it. Because all that pressure, I do not want. But you're used to pressure. As a comic, any comic is used. I hear a lot of people say, I could never survive SNL. I couldn't, I'm too fragile. And it's not for everybody.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Even if you're really talented, it's not, it may ruin your life, you know? It's just not a lifestyle some people are able to endure. I was able to do it because I thought I'd be fired like within a week. I thought, well, I won't be here that much longer. You're the longest one that ever did it. At the time I was like nine years,
Starting point is 00:04:40 but now people like Darrell Hammond and some of these other people have been there Horatio San, they've been there for like 20 years or whatever. This is the running offer I've put out there a number of times. If Lauren ever sees this, this is the offer. I will put everything on hold my entire career. Oh yeah? Yeah, everything including the TV show I'm about to start shooting.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Put everything on hold to be a cast member for what the lowest pay for one season. They're all the lowest pay. Yeah, it's like, how much, they make you sign a deal where they're like, yo, it's 700 bucks a week. Yeah, yeah. And you sign the deal even before you audition. I know, dude, I was, at the time, I don't know what I was made, I don't remember,
Starting point is 00:05:15 but it was like rock bottom. It was maybe, I can't even say, 4,000 a show maybe? Wow. And Lorne Michaels says, spend all your money on an apartment, because that's where you're going to go to rest. And that was, it took all your money to live comfortably in New York. And I had a studio apartment the first couple of years by Central Park. It was nice, but you know,
Starting point is 00:05:35 I was hardly ever there because I was always at the studio. And then after that I thought, you know, I'm going to pace myself. I'm not going to be working that hard. You know, it's not, it's not a sprint. It's a marathon. Plus I was like, I'm not gonna be working that hard. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. Plus, I was a stand-up. I never did a character in my life or a sketch. Really? And I just went and had to learn all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:05:53 And I was hired as a writer the first year and a feature player, they guaranteed me seven shows. But I was on every show and I mostly write for myself. And so, yeah, it's not a lot of money. But yeah, you would do it for $700 a show, just to be on that. Yeah, just to experience it. Experience it, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Like it's, you know, the shorthand you guys all have that have done it, that, like I heard someone talking to JB Smooth about that he would pitch the same idea over and over again every week, just because it was make the room laugh. Like, I just think that's, I think it's a cool comedy experience. Yeah, I mean I did the same thing,
Starting point is 00:06:29 because you don't want to have the wind taken out of your sails by pitching, you know, an idea that you really believe in and nobody laughs and the host goes, mm, mm, you know. So I would pitch the same sketch, and everybody knew it, it was a runaway truck, you know, Lane, you know how when you're going down a hill,
Starting point is 00:06:46 if the truck's brakes fails, they go down this little gravel, long driveway. And then I put it like a bar at the end of that. So they would each come in to the bar, really frazzled, you know, and I would be the, the host would be the bartender. And that's all I had on that. And I would say the rest writes itself.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Laugh, you know. That's great. Yeah. Yeah. Who's your favorite host that you have? Oh, you know, Bert, I got to tell you, there's so many great hosts on there. I was like in heaven.
Starting point is 00:07:13 You would be in heaven, too. You get your, like, I had these bands, like I listened to growing up. My idols, you know, like Mick Jagger, James Taylor, Eric Clapton, all these guys, Paul Simon. I'm like, oh my god, I just want to stayton, all these guys, Paul Simon. I'm like, oh my God, I just wanna stay here as long as I can.
Starting point is 00:07:28 And the hosts, Steve Martin at the time, and yeah, I mean, there's so many, Dolly Parton, Robert Mitchum hosted, Charlton Heston hosted once. Charlton Heston? Yeah, yeah, this is back in the 1900s. It was in the 1900s. It was in the 1900s.
Starting point is 00:07:42 It was in the 1900s. Yeah, way back then. So, and you know, we have the 50th coming up soon and everybody's really excited about that. It's kind of cool because like, there's probably people on SNL that maybe are only on two seasons, it's the 50th and they're like,
Starting point is 00:07:56 maybe they don't feel part of the family. Or six weeks. I think Ben Stiller was on for maybe six shows. For real? Yeah. I remember when SNL switched over and it was the new Lauren Left and the other guy was running it and it was like Robert Downey Jr.
Starting point is 00:08:10 and like that. Anthony Michael Hall. Anthony Michael Hall. Julie Louise Dreyfus though. I mean they're all good. They're all talented. Amazingly talented, obviously. But you need that synergy between the writers and the cast
Starting point is 00:08:22 and also they need that synergy between each cast member. When I came on, I was friends with Dana Carvey. He recommended me for the show, I had an audition, but I was dating Jan Hooks at the time. We had been friends for like six years, probably the most underrated cast member on that show ever. I mean, she's so talented, so talented. Gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Isn't that crazy, Jan Hooks is a part, like she's a part of my comedy history, like Jane Hooks. Yeah, we have of course, because you guys were my SNL. I mean Farley and Spade, I was almost in college then. Yeah, if you're in high school, that's when your favorite cast is when you're in high school.
Starting point is 00:08:58 You guys, Dana Carvey is like, when I first met him, I kind of lost my shit, because the church lady was like, I mean, it was like, it was like, we do impressions of that in eighth grade. I mean, subliminal man, you know, I want to ask you a question, because you are- That rolled off your lips,
Starting point is 00:09:15 they just hung really well that time. I'm doing it, I'm getting it better. There are comedy jokes and comedy sketches that live rent free in my mind that I think of all the time Without a doubt number one for me is so I figured when's the next time I'm gonna be in Haiti Why wear a condom the bad idea jeans? That's like those like those things what what jokes
Starting point is 00:09:41 live free in your mind like whether it's a comedian's joke or like a sketch you saw or just a bit you saw. Well, I just saw something recently. It was a sketch from a British comic who had a talk show at the time. And I can't remember what his name was. I think it was Dave Allen or something. And it was so funny because it was like one of those old British short films.
Starting point is 00:10:07 And here's this guy walking down the street and he sees like a dollar bill or whatever it is in England under the tire of a car. He tries to get it out, he can't get it out. He's trying all different ways. He's rocking the car, he's trying to get out with his foot. Can't get it out. So he decides that he'll go across the street to the cafe.
Starting point is 00:10:24 He goes into the cafe, a lot of people in there, and he has a cup of tea, and then he sees the guy coming back to his car, and the guy pulls away. As he pulls away, everybody in that cafe went running out so he had that dollar. They're all waiting in there for the dollar bill. But that one, just recently I saw that one.
Starting point is 00:10:43 One of the jokes that really stands out in my head is one by Gary Shanling. He said, you know, sometimes when I feel lonely, I will shave one of my legs so it feels like I'm sleeping with a woman. Ha ha ha ha. That's great. Yeah, yeah.

And then there's a lot of sketches that when I was in SNL that I loved that that I didn't even write like I think it's called El Cantaro. It's a Italian restaurant and I come in there on a date with Kirsty Alley, oh no she's my wife, Italian restaurant and I come in there on a date with Christy Alley, oh no, she's my wife, and everybody's in, the Sandler's in there, Dana, Lovitz, Rob Schneider, and they're all like these, like, pretending to be real Italian waiters, or maybe they're supposed to be Italian waiters,
Starting point is 00:15:34 and they're just kissing her, and you know, no, this is what they do, honey, this is what they do. No, and by the end of the thing, Dana's like dry humping Victoria on the table, and you know, they're lifting her shirt up, and she goes, this is what they do. I said, no, we're out of here. And as we're walking away,
Starting point is 00:15:50 Santa comes out of the kitchen with just a Speedo on, and they're all looking the window, watching us go away. That makes me laugh so, every time I see it. You had so many great cast members you worked with. Oh, they were great. You worked with, I think you worked with, I mean, I don't wanna misspeak, but probably the all-stars,
Starting point is 00:16:10 because you were probably in two seasons, right? Two different generations. Yeah, I mean, it just started blending after a while. I think what happens is, in a certain cast, Lauren kinda squeeze you dry, and then you kind of, it's like a car without oil, you know? You've used up all the oil. So he starts bringing new cast members
Starting point is 00:16:31 to pump it up a little bit. So, you know, Spade would come in, and then Tim Meadows, Chris Farley, Mike Myers, and you know, Sarah Silverman was even there for a little bit. And yeah, so, but our original cast, we were really, really tight and kind of knew each other so well.
Starting point is 00:16:50 And it was exciting, because it wasn't like 20 or 30 people on the cast, which there is now, I think. I don't, yeah, it's just, it was funny. You know, what's funny is, you know, everybody's trying to please Lauren. You know, you're trying to like, I wonder if Lauren would like this,
Starting point is 00:17:05 even in your regular life. And it never goes away. I was buying milk the other day. I said, I wonder if Lauren would like me getting the way I got this out of the counter, out of the cooler. Because I kind of pulled it out straight. Maybe I should have taken more time with it.
Starting point is 00:17:18 There is a weird thing that's broken in comics, I think, where we do look for approval from someone. And when I first got in, I was looking for approval from someone. And I mean, when I first got in, I was looking for approval from my manager. And I was like, yeah, because I knew I needed approval from something. Like just know that I'm going in the right direction. But that was after you got into it.
Starting point is 00:17:35 But why did you get into it originally? I mean, did you want to, for me, I think it was a girl in high school that I really wanted to have her take notice of me. I'm talking about this in therapy right now, but I think there's a part of me that needs people to be happy around me. Yes. And I want everyone to be comfortable.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Yeah. Like I think I heard you talk about this on Bill Maher, but you were funny to make sure everyone was having a good time or make sure everyone was comfortable. Yeah, I connect with that, man. I'm uncomfortable when people aren't, when they're not happy or when they're uncomfortable. And it's something I should be in therapy for.
Starting point is 00:18:14 But it took me a long time to say no to people. I can't say no. I know, that's why I'm here. I can't say no. I'm like so bad at no. I've had several wives that said, you gotta learn how to say no, I'm like so bad at no. I've had several wives that said, you gotta learn how to say no. But I have learned to say it, but not always,
Starting point is 00:18:32 and I'm not the best at saying it. Like I asked Larry David once, if he would go on a hike with me, you know, do a hiking show, which I really, when you get time, I'd love to have you. But I texted him, and he texted me back like a day later. All he said was, no, I don't wanna do it. That's all he had to say.
Starting point is 00:18:50 That's crazy. I will lie to people and put myself in a bad situation. I was just doing this downstairs. You heard me doing it. I have a podcast at 12.30, I have another podcast at 3.30 on this one day. And then a guy said, can we meet at one30. I have another podcast at 330 on this one day And then a guy said can we meet at one and I went yes knowing I cannot meet him at one. I Can't I there's no way I can meet him at one and I and it's not gonna work my thing But I don't but he's the most important thing and I don't want to let him down
Starting point is 00:19:17 But I don't want to let my friends down so I put myself in bad situations and now and that affects everybody else That's close to you. Yeah. And then I just was down there going, can someone just fix this? Can I give you three words? Please. Shame on you. And then you feel horrible when you hurt somebody.
Starting point is 00:19:40 And then like my son especially, I collapsed when he starts crying because he was very sensitive when he starts crying because he never He was very sensitive when he's younger and we were playing basketball once and I was kind of teasing him and he knew somebody at the tennis courts nearby and I didn't even think about that and you know, it's so important to impress your peers and stuff and I guess he thought the kid could hear it and he got under the basketball rim and he just Just started crying.
Starting point is 00:20:06 I still feel horrible to this day. That was like, I don't know, eight years ago. God, isn't it crazy? I wonder what Lauren would think of me making him cry like that. I don't know, I wonder what Joe Rogan would think of it. That's our Lauren in a weird way, but Joe for us was like a big brother.
Starting point is 00:20:30 For lack of better terms, he kind of showed us the direction to do a career. We always have a mentor. For me it was Gary Shanley. And then you asked me why I got into the stand up too, later on, I had, I loved stand up. I would watch everybody on TV that was doing stand up at the time.
Starting point is 00:20:49 And I loved Albert Brooks. I loved Annie Kaufman. I loved his brother. Oh yeah, Bob Einstein. Super Dave, still works. And he's so, he's so dark and wrong. I would be on the phone with him driving somewhere. Where are you going?
Starting point is 00:21:06 So I'm going to the comedy store. What? Why would you go there? And then he'd talk about Princess Di or something. It was so wrong in so many ways. But you laugh, you can't help laughing. Oh, he's that, still to this day, that works. And I wonder, like I wonder what is happening with comedy
Starting point is 00:21:29 because so many people got into comedy because, I think it's an easier path nowadays than it was when you started. When you started, it was like almost like joining the circus. Yeah, it was a real novelty thing. Most people have never been to a comedy club. You know, they, and then it took a while. Now audiences know what to do, they're comfortable.
Starting point is 00:21:49 But before it was like, oh, how does he do that? People would be like, I'm not going to a comedy club. You think I'm gonna laugh? And then you, I remember going to my first comedy club and laughing and going, how did he do that? I know. That's crazy. And then you go back again and you go, oh, I see,
Starting point is 00:22:03 it's an act. Yeah. But you know, I bet you Nowadays it's like everybody in that audience. They've probably tried doing stand-up comedy at least once or they want to do Yeah, or they are comics I think everyone like I mean I I've a skewed view but I think there's a lot of I have a lot of people tell me You know, I've done comedy or I would like to do comedy or you know, hey, let me give you a joke I think the part but back when you started,
Starting point is 00:22:25 back when I started, it was like really, it was like coming out to my dad as gay. He was like, you wanna do what? Were you in college? Is that when you first started doing it? Yeah, I did it one time. I was written up in Rolling Stone Magazine as the number one party animal in the country.
Starting point is 00:22:39 And uh. I get that. Yeah. And then, and then I said in that article I wanted to try doing standup and so they put on a show and I did one, I closed the show, I did 20 minutes at the end of the night.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Never would I do that now. But then I just didn't know. And it was just so, it's interesting because the question I had about you is like, my style that night is my style today. It's very stream of conscious, very much storytelling. Stream conscious, that's good.'s very stream of conscious, very much storytelling. Stream conscious, that's good.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Yeah, stream of conscious. In the moment. In the moment and storytelling. And I... I love your story about the airplane. Which one? You were flying somewhere with your wife, I guess it was. And there was a guy bothering you.
Starting point is 00:23:19 I can't remember exactly what it was, but I remember laughing so hard. Cause I fly a lot and I could relate. No, I... But like, I was wondering, I was like, I wonder if. Because I remember my style got gifted to me by my friends. Meaning for our currency was to be able to recount the evening or recount the day in the best way. And I don't know if that's a Florida thing.
Starting point is 00:23:43 I don't know if that was just where I grew up, but Cuban kids could always tell a good story. And man, I would practice my story in ninth grade, walk into the lunch room, like, here we go. The dog comes out and the dog. Get your manager with you. And then, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I was like, the dog jumps in the car,
Starting point is 00:24:00 and the dog didn't jump in the car, but it made it real. And then I know Ty's gonna say, but the dog didn't jump in the car. but it made it real. And then I know Ty's gonna say, but the dog didn't jump in the car, I go, bitch, you weren't even there. And so, but I was like, I wonder if you got your style from your time you spent in Germany, like me making friends, because it is, your style is,
Starting point is 00:24:18 I don't even know when you're not being funny. Like sometimes you'll tell me something serious, and I go, is this? I know that face a lot, because I see that face a lot. And it's so seamless. Yeah. It's like last night downstairs, I go,
Starting point is 00:24:34 are you, is Sarah making your coffee? Like I hope so, I've been waiting for a while. I mean just like very casually, you're casually so funny. Yeah, yeah, not professionally though. No. No. funny. Yeah. Yeah, not professionally though You know for me you talk about Florida and you remember the first time you you were Got some success on stage the first time I found myself performing was accidentally I wasn't even trying to I was in Daytona Beach like, you know on the spring break and Back then it was a time when they, you could go into these places
Starting point is 00:25:05 and they would take a picture of your face and then they'd put on a t-shirt. It was huge back then, people loved it. So we're walking around Daytona and I see this store, it's got a big, you know, picture window in the front. So you can see inside, people sitting on the chairs, almost like a barber shop, and they have screens in front of each chair,
Starting point is 00:25:21 you know, taking pictures. And I sat in the chair next to the window, nobody else was in the place, and I sat in the chair next to the window, nobody else was in the place, and I'm like making faces like to the camera, you know, like that. Let's do that for like, I don't know, a couple minutes. And then I happen to look out, and there's a whole crowd of people that are watching
Starting point is 00:25:35 and having a good time, you know? It's like, and then I got scared, but that was really the first time I entertained. Another time like that, it wasn't doing standup, but I was doing karaoke, and I was singing Are You Lonesome Tonight? That's my go-to karaoke song. What's yours?
Starting point is 00:25:50 I have a couple Sister Christian and Creed. Sister Christian, and then one time I did, there's a song Down With the Sickness by Disturbed, and I pulled my phone out and I was like, guys, my girlfriend's in the hospital, it's not looking good, so I just wanna sing her this is a song to pump her up. And I put the phone, I was like, baby, are you there?
Starting point is 00:26:11 I was like, you there? Okay, here we go, and then I sang Down with the Sickness, and everyone's like, ugh. But that was back when, before I was doing a lot of comedy, but yeah, Creed and Sister Christian is the ultimate stripper song. Keep going. You were saying. Yeah, my girlfriend Christian is the ultimate stripper song. Keep going. People were saying.
Starting point is 00:26:27 My girlfriend's in the hospital, it's not looking good, because she thinks the doctor's hot. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:29:34 Yeah, so I'm doing my karaoke song. I'm looking at the lyrics on the thing and I look up and there's like four couples dancing to it. Really? I start laughing so hard. I thought these people are desperate. But yeah, I've always loved doing stand-up. It's all I ever really wanted to do, Bert.
Starting point is 00:29:53 And then this acting stuff came along, and you know, okay. But stand-up is, that's all I wanna do, and here I am all these years later still doing it. Isn't it crazy? Because I didn't know you could do other things. Like I was like, I didn't even know. You didn't know you could do other things. I didn't know I could do anything.
Starting point is 00:30:12 First time I did stand up it just felt so natural to me that I was like, oh this is, so I'm getting rewarded for the thing that my dad bothered my dad. Yeah. I would say things to my dad, like at dinner with friends when I was a kid, and my dad would just go,
Starting point is 00:30:29 what the fuck is wrong with you? I remember one time going, one of his friends goes, What did he do for a living, first of all? He's a lawyer, he still is. Oh. He's a lawyer. He's very proud of me now,
Starting point is 00:30:40 but I think sure understanding me, understanding me was tough for him. Yeah. Because I just was very different than him. Hey Bert, we're looking at a house in Sino. Do you think maybe you could kind of foot us a little money? In Valley Village.
Starting point is 00:30:54 Yes. It's an at water with all the kids. So your dad was kind of tough on you growing up. Wasn't, I wouldn't say tough, my dad lost. So you hated your dad, is that what you're growing up wasn't I wouldn't say tough my dad So you you hated your dad's that what you're saying? I was looking for his approval constantly. Oh, yeah, but my natural behavior. It was like I was I Was like a dog who thought Everyone loved it when I pissed on the couch
Starting point is 00:31:19 My dad's like why won't you stop pissing on the couch and then one day you get paid for pissing on the couch You're like everyone everyone likes it now. Was it hard to keep up with that because you had to drink a lot, right? Or is that not? Yeah, no, I stay very hydrated. Yeah, yeah. I knew a comic way back when,
Starting point is 00:31:36 because I started a long time ago, his name was Ollie Joe Prater. I know him. Do you know of him? Yeah. Oh yeah, he'd have the cowboy hat. He was like a short guy, kind of stocky, and he'd go on stage and he'd just drink so much. And eventually he died from, there he is. I think he'd go on stage and have a beer in his jacket.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Oh, he had it just, and people would send him up beers and shots. I remember I had to pick him up once. We drove up to Visalia to do a gig. And he picked him up from a hotel that was right on sunset, not far from the whiskey of Goga. And he just stunk of liquor all the way and he pretty much slept all the way, he was hung over.
Starting point is 00:32:14 And I had to drive him back again, but it doesn't surprise me that he didn't last that long. No, yeah, I think, you know, I'm trying to figure out what the, because I get my blood work done pretty, every six months. Transfusions or just? I do, I get IVs twice a week. For real.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Do you really? I get two IVs twice a week. Why? AIDS? AIDS, AIDS, undiagnosed, but AIDS. We know it's AIDS. Just in case. Just in case, just in case I get the AIDS. Without AIDS. The, no, I get IVs, I just got one yesterday.
Starting point is 00:32:44 What for? To keep healthy. It's like B12 or something? I get everything. I get a Hulk bag full and then I get glutathione, I get NAD shots. Are you serious? Oh yeah. I'm really-
Starting point is 00:32:56 You're like Keith Richards. I am. You know I have a friend, I won't say his name, I have a friend. I know who you're talking about. It's Tom Segura. It's Tom Segura, isn't it? That's your friend. Yeah. He was the one that got me on IVs.
Starting point is 00:33:11 He gets IVs all the time. You go somewhere to get that? No, they come to me. Wow, you're fancy. I got a nurse that comes to me. No, you're like Michael Jackson. Oh, yeah. You ever do the propofol at night?
Starting point is 00:33:20 I would love that. I would love that. The closest I ever got, one time they give you, Leanne knows what it's called, but they can give you like, what's one of the antihistamines that puts you to sleep? Oh, well I know there's NyQuil and there's, oh there's Sudafed.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Yeah, like a Sudafed. They give you a pumped up Sudafed. And I was getting sick and he gave me an IV in my bed and I fell asleep in the IV. And he pulled it out and I slept the whole night. I slept so good. Oh my God. I would love Profenol.
Starting point is 00:33:51 I would love it. So you're doing this to try to stay healthy. Yeah. Are you doing anything else in your life to try to stay healthy? Yeah, yeah. I have a trainer, I work out every day. I just bench 325 pounds.
Starting point is 00:34:01 You look like you've kind of slimmed down a little bit. Was that like? No, no, I'm on testosterone. I have like a wellness doctor. I have a cardiologist. I'm like super nervous about death. So I do everything to try to- Do you still drink a lot?
Starting point is 00:34:17 A lot. Yes. You're not that nervous about death. Well, you know what, okay, I wake up in the morning and I go, I go, that's it. I'm changing my life. I'm changing my life. I'm gonna start being healthy. And then I get to about that. Well, you know what, okay, I wake up in the morning and I go, I go, that's it, I'm changing my life. I'm changing my life. I'm gonna start being healthy and then I get to the gym,
Starting point is 00:34:29 I work out, and then as soon as I'm done working out, like went to this morning, it was like, right when I got out of the sauna, I was like, I could drink tonight, you know, it's one night. What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do? Should quit everything? We got an ID, we worked out, we sauna'd, we polar plunged.
Starting point is 00:34:43 We feel good. Have you ever had any heart issues? No. My wife was gonna go get me a defibrillator because she loves me so much, she was gonna lose me. And I have nothing wrong with my heart. And then she started pricing them, and then she thought, well maybe it's not worth it.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wait, do you go to the doctor? Oh yeah, yeah. I go once a year for physical, and then I go to a cardiologist
Starting point is 00:35:06 like every six months or so. And I go to Witch Doctor, which is my favorite. I wish I could remember that song. Which one? I went to the witch doctor and this is what he said. Boom, boom, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. No one in this room will know that song. No, they won't.
Starting point is 00:35:24 That's it. That's it, wow, that's't. Well, let me think. That's it. That's it, wow, that's crazy. I was wrong. I hear you singing it all the time. Yeah. Yeah. So, this is one thing I wanted to know. When I saw you losing weight,
Starting point is 00:35:35 and I'm sure everybody says this to you, but you know, your belly is kind of your brand and stuff. What's gonna happen? Sadly, I'm not gonna be able to get Joe Pesci, or not Joe Pesci, Joe Piscopo, ripped. Like I've tried, this is when I was younger. Are you kidding me? That's you on the right?
Starting point is 00:35:52 Yeah. Are you serious? Yeah. Dude, you let yourself go. You really did, man. How old were you then? That was, I was right when I met Leanne. I was 28, no, I was 29. For Le Leanne. I was 20, no I was 29.
Starting point is 00:36:05 You fooled her. You fooled her big time. Well you should have seen her. She, no I've lost weight. I've lost like 50 pounds, but I still have a belly. And I, and I'm. That's what you gotta keep. Yeah, but I also, I mean I remember when Joe Piscopo lost,
Starting point is 00:36:23 like got really obsessed with his body. Yeah, and Carrot Top too. I remember when Joe Piscopo got really obsessed with his body. Yeah, and Carrot Top too. I remember when Carrot Top did it. I don't know, I don't know. And John Lovitz. So, do you ever have any desire to go back to that? No, I don't think I ever could. I think I was like 190 pounds then.
Starting point is 00:36:45 At six foot? Six, one, yeah. Okay. And so, but I, right now I'm about 240. If I got to 220, I'd still be morbidly obese, technically. But I don't, but I feel better, I feel better. Like getting out of a bed are the things I care about. Tell me your expression on your face
Starting point is 00:37:02 when you're getting out of bed in the morning. I'll tell you mine, I'll show you mine. Okay. Ooh. Roll over, fuck it. Same as sex. Yeah. Same expression.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Ooh, I'm gonna roll over, fuck it. Mine is like this. The last year I've had a tight lower back. So I got out of bed, I go, ah, god damn it. You know, I just kind of walk like this to the bathroom, and after an hour or so it straightens out. But, and you know, you're supposed to do stretches every day, and I say, I'm gonna do these every day,
Starting point is 00:37:33 and then like the next day, as simple as they are, it's like leaning against the wall, you know, working on your quads a little bit, and tightening your butt. I don't want, I don't feel like doing it for three minutes. You know, two minutes. Stretching. Once you start though, it's good.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Oh, I went to a yoga class one time and I opened up my hips and I felt phenomenal all day. But the idea of doing that every day just makes me crazy. And your diet's good? You like sweets? I don't. Oh, you don't? No, the thing I try to eliminate the most
Starting point is 00:38:05 is bread. That's the worst. I've stayed away from pasta, I've stayed away from, I've stayed away from rice almost entirely. How far away are you staying from it? Arms distance. Arms. Arms distance.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Arms distance. Ah. Definitely arms distance, I'm getting closer to arms distance, it's in my mouth. Straw distance. Straw distance. Oh man. Yeah, it's all hard to do.
Starting point is 00:38:31 But you look good. We can't focus on your diet. I was just telling somebody the other day, I said, this is a lifelong struggle. You always want to get down another five and then you get down and then you go back up. And you start thinking, can you just sit down and look at a meal and go, oh, that's too much, that's too much, and just enjoy it? But I see a lot of people my age,
Starting point is 00:38:54 that's what they're doing, and they look really bad. They're not healthy looking. No, no, no. I wish I could be like my wife. My wife will make one piece of toast, one egg, one piece of bacon, and a little side of fruit, and she won't finish it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:12 I don't have that. I know. Like you said one time, I remember hearing you say, I said something, we had three interactions before you knew who I was, and the first one. Are they all any unpleasant ones? No, they're all awesome, they're all awesome. I wore a bracelet today because of you
Starting point is 00:39:25 because the second time I met you, you had like a cool bracelet on. I was like, yeah, I gotta wear a bracelet. And I was like, oh, I bet he wears a bracelet today. He didn't. I like your Lorne Michaels. Yeah, yeah, no, but you are kind of like, approval from an older comic as a young,
Starting point is 00:39:39 it never goes away. You always want a comic that's been doing it longer than you to go, I like what you're doing. I like this thing, anything that never goes away from me. I think it's also the reason I do comedy. Here's what I get a really pretty young girl coming up to me, oh my God, my parents love you. Can I tell you, I get that a lot too. I get young girls will go, my dad loves you.
Starting point is 00:40:02 You look like my dad. Yes, yes, my dad loves you. You look like my dad. Yes, yes. My dad is the biggest fan. No one ever says like, dude, I'm your biggest fan. It's like my boyfriend. It's always a girl going, my boyfriend or my dad loves you. My uncle is just like you.
Starting point is 00:40:18 But the first time we ever met, I had a penis on my head. Did I tell you this? That was you? Do you remember that? Do you remember that? Do you remember that? I don't remember. We did a TV show and they put a head and we were doing ejaculation stories.
Starting point is 00:40:33 I was on a show? And I, the only reason. How big was my penis? Sizeable. The only reason I put the penis on my head is because they said you were gonna do it. And then you came in and I was like, hey, are you gonna get the penis on my head is because they said you were gonna do it. And then you came in and I was like, hey, are you gonna get the penis on your head?
Starting point is 00:40:47 And you went, no. And we sat there and you did the sketch without the penis? First time I said no in my life. Yeah, yeah, like, no. And I was like, oh my God. You can say no. There's gotta be a picture of me as a penis. I know that I have the tapes,
Starting point is 00:41:01 but I remember doing the whole thing and my joke was, yeah, I took a sip, and you said something about premature ejaculation, and I spit it out. And I was like, I have that problem. You need the penis hat for that. You did, I didn't think it. What was the other time we met?
Starting point is 00:41:20 We were doing something for the improv, that's when you wore a bracelet. I keep thinking you're gonna say braces. No. That's when you had a braces. I keep thinking you're gonna say braces. No. That's when you had a braces on. No, you had a bracelet on. And don't Google, I don't need to see penis burnt. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:34 But no, that was... You know, I think if you're in this business as long as I am doing standup, it'll get to a point where you have young audiences now, but as you age, your audiences will age. And I remember I look through the curtain and I see my audience and they're all old people, gray hair, bald, fat, no offense.
Starting point is 00:41:59 And I'm like, no, I'm not taking it. Tom's not here. And I look through the curtain and I'll go, ah, god damn it, man. Some old people come to see me. And then I remember, I'm older than they are. Oh, I think you want that as a comic. You want your audience to age with you and stay with you.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Stay with you, but a lot of times they start dying. That's why we're doing the Two Bears 5K. Oh, are you? Yeah, we do a Two Bears. You want people to die? Nope, we're trying to keep them alive. Oh, jeez. We set up a 5K, we were talking and we were like,
Starting point is 00:42:34 yo, our fans look like us and we need to get in shape and then we all need to get in shape so that they can keep coming. Like if they all die before us, then we can't do standup anymore. That's right, that's right. Yeah, we're trying to inspire people to get in shape. Jelly Roll's lost 130 pounds.
Starting point is 00:42:47 Really? Yeah, Jelly Roll looks, I mean, I saw a video of him, put it in Jelly Roll before and after. He looks so globally different than he did. That's not, yeah. You know who else lost a lot of weight? It was Tom Wilson? No.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Wait, Piff? Another comic. What's his name? He was on a TV show with... Um. What's the name of that? Oh, no, I know, I know. What's that flower with the thorns in it? What's that flower with the thorns in it?
Starting point is 00:43:16 Rose. Rose, what was the name of that comic that... Um. Well. Billy Gardell. Yes. Have you seen him lately? I've, I haven't. I can only recognize him. I, it's not, it doesn't look like the same person. Here's the problem. Okay, there's Jelly Roll. There's Jelly Roll.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Where is he now? Go to the middle one. Go to the middle one. Go to the middle one. I mean this is like. Oh, the middle one on the top. Oh, there he is. Oh, that's Billy Gardell?
Starting point is 00:43:33 Yeah. On the right? On the right. Oh. And on the left. Oh, he should go back to the weight. He should go back to the weight. He's gained some weight.
Starting point is 00:43:41 He looks good. There you go. I'm going to go back to the weight. I'm going to go back to the weight. I'm going to go back to the weight. I'm going to go back to the weight. I'm going to go back to the weight. I. On the right? On the right. Oh. And on the left. Oh, he should go back to the weight. He should go back to the weight. He's gained some weight. I mean, he is.
Starting point is 00:43:48 No, he looks good. But, you know, when do you stop though? It's almost like an addiction. You start keep losing weight. That's him? Yeah. Jesus. And then the same with,
Starting point is 00:44:01 oh, I can't, maybe it was him. Tom Sgera put in Tom Sgera before and after. This is wild. I mean, Tom's on Ozempic, so he's lost a ton of weight. He told me his trainer was teaching him how to eat properly and he never weighs himself. Is that BS? Yeah. Oh my God, the whole time I see a scale, yeah, well, Tom wouldn't get on this scale.
Starting point is 00:44:20 What would Lorne think if Tom got on this scale? What would Lorne think? Look at how fat he is on the left and then look at him on the right. He's grown some hair too. He's a, he should die of his chest hair. Look at that man. He was a mess. I noticed how he's covering up the love handles though.
Starting point is 00:44:37 Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How about when somebody loses a lot of weight, like Al Roker, and they don't, they theme like, you could tell they lost weight. Like their head, it just should be carrying more weight. The head looks weird.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Yeah, yeah. And you could tell, like on the far right there. That is. Here's the question. I guess it's like, is Al Roker still alive? Yeah, I'm doing an interview with him. Are you serious? In two days, yeah. He'd be dead if he had stayed that way, right?
Starting point is 00:45:08 Possibly, I mean there's a lot of old fat people. No, there's actually not. What about Jack Benny? I think he's dead. Oh, he did die. Pfft. Ha ha ha ha. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Wait. Winston Churchill was an old fat guy. He lived to 80, like, he lived to 90. Jackie Gleason was heavy. Jackie Gleason, I read a book about Jackie Gleason. You did? I'm obsessed with those kind of guys. Shoot, I got a picture at home that you would love.
Starting point is 00:45:34 I got it at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. It's Jackie Gleason doing his walk, you know? Yeah. And with Arnold Palmer on a green, with the golf stuff and then the crowd around them. And I did a commercial with Arnold Palmer on a green with the golf stuff and then the crowd around them. And I did a commercial with Arnold Palmer a while back and I had him sign it for me. And I got that hanging in my room.
Starting point is 00:45:53 I don't collect a lot of pictures that are autographed because once you start collecting stuff, it becomes, you're a slave to it, right? Yeah, I don't collect. You go look at hats. And I'm sure you get people giving you hats from everywhere. It's like, I don't want that hat. I can't do snap backs.
Starting point is 00:46:07 People give me a snap back, and I go, I have a big head. Oh, me too. One size does not fit all. I'm eight. Oh, you know that mine is off the scale. I can't even like. One time I got a death threat from someone I was on SNL. I said, we can update.
Starting point is 00:46:21 I got a letter, handwritten, because there was no email back then. Oh, that is commitment. He was really wanting me to know. He goes, I don't know how you became so unfunny, but I'm gonna put a bullet in your big fat mick head. And for the next week, I was so paranoid. I was asking everybody, do you think I have a big fat head?
Starting point is 00:46:37 Yeah, it was nothing to do with the letter. Wait, you're Irish? Yeah. Did your mom ever, did you have sisters? I do have sisters. Yeah, I have two brothers and three, I mean three brothers and two sisters. Just found out I have a new brother about a year ago.
Starting point is 00:46:51 For real? Not new, but a half brother. Yeah. How did you just find this out? 23andMe, which I thought was a dating site for a long time. So that was a total shock for me. Good thing I didn't date him. Did your mom ever say to your sisters, hold on a second Lady Jane? No.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Okay. Why? We call her Lady Jane. Lady Jane, have you ever heard that term? Pierce? I don't think anybody here has. Let me feel your pulse. Lady Jane.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Type in Lady Jane. So I just listened to a documentary last night about Lady Jane Grey, and my mom used to say that all the time to my sisters, hold one hot second Lady Jane, why don't you slow your britches Lady Jane? And Lady Jane was proclaimed queen as part of an unsuccessful bid to prevent the accession of her Catholic cousin Mary
Starting point is 00:47:46 Tudor. And so the phrase is used as someone who's trying to get too big too fast. Oh, yeah. So my mom said it all the time. And last night, randomly, I'm asleep and I'm listening to podcasts while I sleep. And this podcast about Lady Jane Grey comes on. And I go, Lady Jane, I wonder if that has any relation. I wake up in the middle of the night, I Google it, and that's where that phrase comes from. But it's an Irish phrase because of Catholic, something about the Catholic religion. The church, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:12 So yeah, so it's an Irish phrase. I was wondering if you ever heard that. I have now. I would hear this a lot growing up with the people in the neighborhood. Jesus, Mary and Joseph. All the time, Jesus. And they call me, you get called a tinker
Starting point is 00:48:28 by your grandmother. Oh yeah. Oh you tinkers, get in here. Wow. That was crazy. I love documentaries. I do too. You gotta see this one,
Starting point is 00:48:37 I'm one of the executive producers on it. With Tink? Yeah, with Tink. Can we tell everyone about it? Yeah, Brandy Carlisle, Sarah. Your wife is a producer on it? Yeah, Brandi Carlisle, Sarah. Your wife is a producer on it? Yeah, my wife, Sarah, what's her name? Barrasso?
Starting point is 00:48:52 Borellis. Borellis, subliminal Borellis. And yeah, Glennon Doyle and Amby Wambach and a bunch of other people. And it was at Sundance and it won the best film at Sundance this year. It's called Come See Me in the Good Light? Yeah, yeah, it's about this poet.
Starting point is 00:49:14 She was diagnosed with incurable cancer and there's the picture I drew of her. And she is like the poet laureate of that whole poetry world. I mean, she's really very popular and she was diagnosed with incurable cancer and she lives with her wife or her lover. And it's about getting through that.
Starting point is 00:49:35 And it's really uplifting. You know, when you hear something's about cancer and dying, you think, oh, I don't wanna see that. But it is so uplifting and you find yourself laughing so much through it. And you walk out of there and you think, man, I gotta start living in the moment. She'll get like three weeks, she can live.
Starting point is 00:49:51 There's another three weeks, my numbers are good. I get three weeks, you know? And you think, geez, I got at least three years. I was doing your math. I think you're gonna be old when you die. I was thinking about your mortality today. Were you 71? You did a lot of research.
Starting point is 00:50:11 I did, no, I did do a lot of research. Because I care about you. You're one of my favorite. You are really good at this. No. I never thought you would be. A lot of people don't think I am. I didn't think you'd be a good standup either.
Starting point is 00:50:22 A lot of people don't think I am. I always get, we did a show this weekend, I don't think I am. I didn't think you'd be a good standup either. A lot of people don't think I am. No, no. I always get, we did a show this weekend, and three, I mean, it's crazy, but everyone got off, they're like, dude, I forgot how good of a standup you are. I was like, thanks, I think. Like.
Starting point is 00:50:36 You know what, you know, when you see pictures of you or short clips, you think, this guy's like a frat comic. Yeah. You know, swillin' beer in the belly and whatever. But when they see you on stage, you tell a good story. And it's very, it's compelling and funny, and you just take the people with you. And you can see that you're enjoying,
Starting point is 00:50:58 recanting this story, I think is that the word? And yeah, you're really good. And I think maybe that might be your, I don't know if you remember when Bobcat Goldthwait started out. He was doing like a guy who was, you know what, he was like a mentally handicapped. He was like, you know.
Starting point is 00:51:15 And then he started getting political. So you can't stay with that character, you gotta move out of it. And I just wonder if, you know, to what extent you'll move out of the bear thing and maybe have more stories and then you could lose the weight you wanna lose. I don't know, I've often thought like I would love to do a one man show,
Starting point is 00:51:36 but then I was like, I'm just gonna structure it the way I do an hour. And I got a really nice compliment from David Letterman one time. He was doing an interview and he was like, saying to the guy he was doing the interview with, I'm drawing a blank on his name, he did Moonlight Mile, he's a comic.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Oh, Mike Birbiglia? No, no. No? Neil Griffin? No, Moonlight Mile. Was it Johnny Carson? No, no. Merv Griffin?
Starting point is 00:52:05 Anyway. We'll look it up later. He said, David Letterman said, you know the guy that does stand up shirtless? And he goes, yeah, Bert Kreischer. And he goes, he's amazing. He's an amazing comedian. And he doesn't have his shirt on.
Starting point is 00:52:20 And he said, yeah. And he goes, and he never mentions it. He doesn't talk about it, he just takes his shirt off. And he goes, yeah. He's goes, and he never mentions it. He doesn't talk about it, he just takes his shirt off. And he goes, yeah. He's like, but he's a great comedian. He's like, yeah, and David Letterman was like, it's just, and Sarah texted me one time and said the same thing.
Starting point is 00:52:34 She's like, David Letterman really likes you. But he's like, really fascinated about why you take your shirt off. The first time I met Norm MacDonald, I got off stage and he was crying laughing on the other side of the curtain. And I thought he was laughing, I don't know what he was laughing at,
Starting point is 00:52:47 but he just kept going, there's no shirt on. There's no shirt on. There's no shirt. There's no shirt. You forgot your shirt. And yeah, I've often wondered if I'd ever get out of, start wearing a shirt, like if I lost a lot of weight. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:06 You should paint like a six pack on there, shadow it. Oh, I've done spray tan. You've done that before? I've done spray tan. But with the six pack? No. Have a look? No. I would love. I would never get a six pack.
Starting point is 00:53:16 I have a hernia. I'll never have a six pack. You're like, why not fix that hernia? Yeah. I think it's elective surgery. Oh, cosmetic? Yeah. So I was like, yeah, if I'm getting cosmetic surgery,
Starting point is 00:53:26 that's not what I'm getting. You know, I ran into Letterman a couple of weeks ago, and I hadn't seen him in a long time. And he was always the Letterman that you're kind of afraid of. And he could not have been more friendly and complimentary. He was citing different things that he loved, like you were at the Mark Twain thing. You were like the best one there.
Starting point is 00:53:43 And I love your hiking show. It's so creative. And then he goes, you were like the best one there. And you, you know, I love your hiking show, it's so creative. And then he goes, you told a joke, you used to tell a joke, it makes me laugh. I retell it a lot, I give you credit. And then he goes, the Lincoln thing, as if I would know, oh yeah, the Lincoln thing. I go, the Lincoln thing?
Starting point is 00:53:58 He goes, yeah, you know, when you talk about the Lincoln going to school and stuff. I said, I don't know if that was me or not. He goes, oh no, well, I've been telling everybody it's you. I'm pretty sure it was yours. So, the joke was this. It's not even a joke. He says, you know that Lincoln used to walk
Starting point is 00:54:14 to school every day in the snow, but what they don't tell you is he was always late. So he loved that joke. I thought, man, I should start doing that again, but do a whole bit like what you don't know about certain famous people. Yeah, General Custard was scalped at Little Big Porn, but it was a wig, that kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:54:34 So I thought, well, I'm gonna try that Lincoln thing in my standup, and I'm sure it'll kill. I try it, nothing, no laugh at all. Do you know the joke I wrote for you today? No. I'm trying to write a lot lately. And so, more than ever, because I feel like, because I don't like, this last special is the best thing I could have done, and so I feel like I need to grow in a different direction. How many specials do you have?
Starting point is 00:54:56 Six. Six. Yeah, so this, I think, I think, I think I'm gonna have to do a lot more. I'm gonna have to do a lot more. I'm gonna have to do a lot more. I'm gonna have to do a lot more. I'm gonna have to do a lot more. I'm gonna have to do And so I feel like I need to grow in a different direction. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. How many specials do you have?
Starting point is 00:55:06 Six. Six. Yeah, so this, I think this is six. But this one is like the best one I've done. I've taken chances I've never taken. I wear a different outfit. I'm like, I just really go for it on this special. So now I'm like, I took some time off.
Starting point is 00:55:21 I'm like, all right, I'm gonna write. I'm gonna just really see everything and just, I'm gonna write. I wrote so much really see everything and just, I'm gonna write. I wrote so much, I wrote two jokes from you today. The Lincoln? No, nope, no. What's the other one? You did a, you did, I was watching you on Conan
Starting point is 00:55:38 this morning on the treadmill, and you did a picture of Conan where you drew his picture as a character, but you only drew this part, right? Yeah. And the joke I wrote was, but you only drew this part, right? And the joke I wrote was, and this is perfect for that, Mount Rushmore seems super impressive until you find out they were supposed to be the whole bodies.
Starting point is 00:55:53 They made the head too big and they're like, fuck. Ran out of rock. And then the other one, this is just an idea, but you were talking about, I think Bill Maher was trying to get you to smoke weed, and you were like, I don't like to feel out of control. And I was like, oh, that's my favorite feeling. That's my, and I was like, that's the difference
Starting point is 00:56:12 between people that don't like to get in the water at the beach and then people that like to swim 30 yards out. It gets shallow out of there too. Those people that swim offshore like that, that's a death wish right there. No, it's so fun. There's people that swim offshore like that. Oh. That's a death wish right there. No, it's so fun. Oh, you do that? I have, yeah I have.
Starting point is 00:56:29 I don't do it in, we go to the beach up in Oxnard, and I don't do it there because it's crazy water out there. So sometimes you can get pulled out on a riptide and I don't want that. No, no. But as a kid, always, growing up in Florida in the Gulf of America, I think it's called now.
Starting point is 00:56:44 But America is now called Mexico, so it's a trade. Okay, I like it. We would always swim out to the sandbar, which was like 30 yards out, 40 yards out. You never swam out in the ocean like that? Well, I was a lifeguard. For real? For a while, yeah, for three years on a beach, but I was on Long Island Sound,
Starting point is 00:57:01 so it didn't get that deep. It was like a foot deep, like a mile. And you would just be pulling drunk people up, you know, so they wouldn't drown. And then, yeah, so I would do that for three years. And I wanted to buy a guitar, I remember this. So I got another job at night at Dunkin' Donuts. So I worked from 10 to five at night at Dunkin' Donuts.
Starting point is 00:57:19 And then I was a lifeguard from 10 to five. So those two don't really, yeah, night shift and day shift as a lifeguard from 10 to five. So those two don't really, night shift and day shift as a lifeguard is not a good combo. I think I slept through two drownings. One of them at Dunkin' Donuts. But yeah, so I was a good swimmer. I haven't swam lately, but yeah, I like to be in control. What kind of a husband are you?
Starting point is 00:57:44 Because you seem like you don't get, like you don't fly off the handle. You've always seemed so even keeled, that almost to a fault, you're so even keeled. I was wondering what it's like to be parented by even keeled. But you know what, you're right. It's even keeled. What is that like?
Starting point is 00:58:02 My wife sometimes will get on me because I don't show, I'm not demonstrative like she is. She's very, you know what's on her mind. She gets excited really, or she'll be crying, and I'm just even keel. She goes, you have to get excited. I said, well, when we look at an open house, you shouldn't get really excited,
Starting point is 00:58:22 because that's not gonna help with the negotiations. And that's what I do. I just go in there and, yeah, it's okay. Plus I always think, well, I'm not gonna get excited cause it may not happen. You know, it may not happen. You know what I mean? I'm like your wife.
Starting point is 00:58:36 How you are? Oh, we went to buy a car one time. This is a while ago. And I also have, I also have ego problems. So like, I feel someone's threatening me, I had a pool guy one time and I was like, I wanna move our, I wanna get rid of this pool where it is. I wanna move it in the center.
Starting point is 00:58:55 I'm so glad I did it. You had a little extra money. I had a little extra money. And then in doing that, I realized it would be, you're never gonna fill in the pool the way, and it's never gonna settle the way you want it to, and it was just, it was foolhardy. And then he said to me, he said to my wife,
Starting point is 00:59:13 yeah, I didn't hear back from her, I figured Bert ran out of all his money. And I was like, fuck it, we're doing the pool now. And the answer, what are you doing? I was like, no, fuck that. So I had like an ego thing. So we were going to buy a car one time, and my business manager was like, we're just gonna buy it in cash, okay? And I was like an ego thing. So we were going to buy a car one time and my business manager was like,
Starting point is 00:59:25 we're just gonna buy it in cash, okay? And I was like, great. And the guy's like, he said something like, you think you can afford a car like this? And I was like, afford it, I'm buying it in cash. My business manager was like, buddy, we have no room to negotiate now. And I was like, oh shit.
Starting point is 00:59:40 I'm like your wife, I get very excited. I get very, yes. What is your go-to in the pool? I bet it's a cannonball. No. No? I thought you would be a cannonball guy. No, no, no, I'm not a dive guy.
Starting point is 00:59:53 Oh, you're not? I walk into the pool, always. You don't have any kind of like a backflip or? Oh, no, no, oh, no, no. What's the one where you jump and you hold one knee up? A pike? Preacher seat. Oh, is that a preacher seat? Yeah, where you hold one and you lay like that.
Starting point is 01:00:04 We call it a preacher seat growing up. I have rituals in the pool, like I'm a little OCD. I get in the pool almost every, just about every day, and I get down to the shallow end, and I hold my breath, and I swim all the way to the deep end. And we have a 13 foot pool, so it gets really cold at the deep end. Oh, at that 13 feet deep?
Starting point is 01:00:21 Yeah. Oh, that's why we kept that pool. You have deep sea fish down there? Yeah. Get stuff that people never knew existed. When the fires were coming, they said that was the move, is to get your, I have a scuba tank and scuba set up, and that one guy lived through the fires,
Starting point is 01:00:36 he in, maybe in the Palisades, where he got his scuba stuff and got in the pool. Are you serious? Yeah. I was like, that was the move I was gonna do. I never even thought about that. If the fire had gotten to us, it would have been. But you know, you've seen that was a move I was gonna do I never even thought about that Fire got into us it would have been but you know you seen that kind of a cartoon Whatever it is when the plane comes down and scoops water up out of a pool
Starting point is 01:00:52 They drop the body onto the fire. They didn't know they had a person in there How did this guy with a scuba tank and in the on the street, but Yeah, it's a scuba tank on the street. I'm not a good negotiator either because I don't want to hurt the person's feelings. I said, what's the best deal? Like right now, okay, $75,000. What's the best deal out the door? And then they go, $75,000.
Starting point is 01:01:23 I go sold Yeah, I just don't wanna Even when I'm like in a foreign country, you know where they're you can negotiate with you guys You could bargain with these guys how much for that blanket? That's 65 euros I'll give you 64. How's that? 65. All right, deal. 55 days? I'm so bad at negotiating. I should not be able to buy anything. I never look for a deal.
Starting point is 01:01:54 What's the last thing that you bought just spontaneously? You didn't even need it. Almost everything. Almost everything. Almost everything I buy. I bought, my buddy bought a new house, and I have a really great flashlight, and it's 200,000 luminums, so it lights up your whole backyard.
Starting point is 01:02:18 Oh my God. It's actually a self-defense weapon in my opinion. You can blind somebody with it. You can blind somebody, if you turn it on, the person cannot see. So that's why I bought it initially, and then I bought it and it was great, so I bought one for my dad,
Starting point is 01:02:28 and then I bought one for my brother-in-law, and then I bought a second one for me to have a, you know, just in case I couldn't find the first one. Give it all to your 5K runners. Yeah, I bought one for Tom for Christmas, and then my buddy bought a house, and I just go, I'm gonna buy him the flashlight.
Starting point is 01:02:40 My wife goes, hey, it's $1,000. Like, what are you giving him, $1,000? And I was like, oh yeah, what am I doing? I don't need to be the flashlight guy. That's the flashlight. My wife goes, hey, it's $1,000. Like, what are you giving him $1,000? And I was like, oh yeah, what am I doing? I don't need to be the flashlight guy. That's the thing. When you find something you really like, you feel like everybody else should have it. I agree 100%.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Knives, I love knives. Oh yeah, like cooking knives or just throwing knives? I love every knife. Like I have great cooking knives. I have great cooking knives. You cook? Yes, I'm a big cook. And then I do the cooking show. You should come on and do the cooking knives. I have great cooking knives. You cook? Yes, I'm a big cook. And then I do a cooking show.
Starting point is 01:03:06 You should come on and do the cooking show. Sure. I'll have you and Dana Carvey together. Okay. We'll do the cooking show. Yeah, I'll do it. I eat heaps too. I want to say this,
Starting point is 01:03:15 and I know that I'm overstepping my boundaries, but we're a little bit like brothers because he was a big runner and drinker, and I'm a big runner and drinker. Yeah, oh you run still? Yeah. Yeah, oh you run still? Yeah. Yeah. You're like the guy, I went to go buy new running shoes.
Starting point is 01:03:31 I walked in and the guy goes, I said, can I try these on? He goes, sure, what are you getting them for? Who are you getting them for? I was like, I'm getting them for me. And he's like, what are you gonna do with them? And I was like, I'm gonna run in them. And he's like, oh, oh yeah, yeah, you can run in them. And I was like, wait, did you ask that to everyone here?
Starting point is 01:03:47 Yeah, no, I. It's like buying condoms. What are you gonna use these for? Yeah. I used to buy Magnum condoms whenever I bought Rogaine. I was embarrassed to buy Rogaine. It comes in a kit, doesn't it? If they sell it together.
Starting point is 01:04:00 Yeah. It should come in a kit, but no, I love knives. So I buy people knives and give people knives. That's nice, that's a nice gift. Tom taught me to buy people gifts. It's fun to buy people gifts. Tom gives watches, he likes watches. Tom loves watches.
Starting point is 01:04:15 He's the reason I got into watches and I'm not even really into watches. Well you got one on each wrist? No, this is. Oh that's a heart monitor? This is a heart monitor and this is a bracelet my wife got me. Is it really a heart monitor? Yeah, it's a whoop.
Starting point is 01:04:25 I can tell you my heart rate right now. Do you know, I'm like that with scissors. I wanted to buy a good pair of scissors, just to trim like pandemic and stuff. And I went online, I was expecting to buy, spend $300 on one, really good ones. And they were all like $40. I don't want that crap.
Starting point is 01:04:44 Dude, I love what you're talking about. I can get into something so bizarre and then get obsessed with that subgenre. Like scissors is something I'd really get into. Oh, you like the scissors. Well, I, well, I. You like sharp things in general. I got so many beard trimmers.
Starting point is 01:05:01 And you got nose, how about nose hair clippers? Oh, I got nose hair trimmers. Dude, great scissors are hard to come by. When you see scissors, the best scissors are the kind that you have to take apart and put back together to use. You seen those? No. Because they sharpen them and they take them apart
Starting point is 01:05:16 and put them back together. Yeah, but these that I have now are really, I have all those right there on that. It's a set. But you could cut yourself, like it's a blade. Oh yeah. Have you ever had, I know you've had a beard for a long time, but you ever have a straight edge shave?
Starting point is 01:05:34 One time. It does not get any closer than that. It does not. To death too. It was, it was, the guy, do you ever see Anthony Bourdain get a straight edge, straight edge? No. And the guy was nervous to be on camera.
Starting point is 01:05:47 Type in Anthony Bourdain's straight edge shave, and he was bleeding everywhere. The guy cut him so bad, just do images, and he was bleeding so bad, it was on his show. Oh, he was ripped in that picture up there. Anthony Bourdain was in great shape. And he was a smoker. So a hardcore smoker. And a drinker.
Starting point is 01:06:08 You never smoked cigarettes? No. Never drank? Oh yeah, I drank. You drank? I used to drink, I wasn't like crazy drinking, but I would, here we go. That's a nice close shave.
Starting point is 01:06:19 He's an exacto knife? Look, you see the guy start shaking? Okay, you make me nervous. Oh my god. It starts getting worse because he's doing his chin and the guy's, watch the guy's hands shaking. I've never been filmed like this. Oh! He's cutting the fuck out of his face.
Starting point is 01:06:42 Oh Well some people have that you know those little rough skin and you can't help Nixon it up you shave every day If I'm not lazy, yeah, I did have a goatee for a while, you know, I go back and forth Yeah, I am for a very long time. Well the great thing about, like for someone my age, guys will, you know, start getting the jowls and stuff and those little wrinkles around the mouth. You grow, so I think I'm gonna grow a goatee that'll cover all that up.
Starting point is 01:07:14 But then the goatee comes in all gray. So you gotta make a choice. Do you wanna look older from a gray hair or just from your face kind of sagging a little bit? You don't look old at all. Like you look like you haven't aged your whole life. Well you should see my insides. Like I said, I had four joints replaced.
Starting point is 01:07:29 Yeah. I had a fib, you know, which is not life threatening unless you let it go, but so you know, they fixed that. So I'm like an old boat, they keep patching me up, but they got a lot of nice paint on me, you know. You look great. Thanks man. Like when I went downstairs and I was talking about I Said I said yeah his I think I'm in 71 the entire room went he's 71 and I was like we held I was like no that but I would love to look like you at 71 like that would be great my dad's
Starting point is 01:08:01 77 and he's like you could tell I. I think, well the other thing is, you look at those guys who worked out like crazy and ran ultra marathons. My dad was a marathon runner and now his knees are shot, his hips are shot. And you're like, so when, what's working out do for you? Like you just should do it very lightly almost. Yeah, I mean I used to run a lot on the street.
Starting point is 01:08:20 For real. And in hindsight I would never do that. I would run in Mulholland like 10 miles. Not, I did that for like a month, I would do that. Not every day, but yeah, I used to run a lot. I played football and rugby and soccer. So I took a toll on my joints and I would never do that again.
Starting point is 01:08:36 When I see people running down San Vicente, which is a traffic-y, they have that medium in the middle where they run on there and there's, these are crazy, they're breathing in exhaust, they're ruining their knee joints, but it's just what they do, it's what people do. Somebody said once, I don't work out, my body's meant to just keep those greasy joints going.
Starting point is 01:08:59 I think that's the valuable thing, is I started lifting weights so that I could like I wanted to maintain muscles to be able to get out of a chair and stuff and like Because that's the one thing I saw with my dad my dad Wait, whose mom fell down yesterday and they had to get the police together Our friend's mom fell down and that is funny. That's funny rescue to get her up. No way. Yeah My mom fell in her house with my dad That's funny. A rescue to get her up. No way. Yeah. Yeah. My mom fell in her house with my dad.
Starting point is 01:09:29 Fell together? No, no, my mom fell. She had maybe had a couple glasses of Kim Crawford. My dad tried to get her up and then my dad just went in, came back and brought a pillow and a blanket and he's like, we'll figure it out tomorrow. Oh. And I was like, and then I heard that.
Starting point is 01:09:43 And then my parents fell when we were doing fully loaded. They fell in the ocean. They fell. They had like lawn chairs at the very foot of the brakes and a wave knocked them both over and neither of them could get up and lifeguards had to get them up. And I told my dad, I go, that's got to change. And so my dad started doing-
Starting point is 01:10:00 No more swimming. No more swimming. No more sitting down. So my dad started doing squats and rowing and walking. And he goes, buddy, the first day I walked, I had it on a one. And I was like, how long is this going to take? And now my dad says he's like walking at a 3.5 and he's going to do our 5K with us. That's great. Him and my mom.
Starting point is 01:10:21 But it's like, and a lot of it, for me, that's why I started lifting weights. I didn't want to get, I didn't ever want to get to a deficit place where I was like, I was like, yeah, I just, you know, my arms are falling apart, you know, or my. Yeah, yeah, you want to stay ahead of it. I want to stay ahead of it, but I think there's a fine balance about not abusing your body. Oh yeah, moderation, my father used to say,
Starting point is 01:10:38 but here's, first of all, I think you should go into Pilates and forget the weights. For real? Because that'll stretch you out and that'll make you strong. Do you do Pilates? No, I hate it. I hate it. No, I would do it, but I don't want to.
Starting point is 01:10:52 But I think Pilates and, oh, I was going to say that, you think about building up your chest and your arms and get the abs. But when you get to a certain age, like around my age, you see guys like in their 80s and their ass is sagging. So all you're saying to me, well maybe it's time to start doing squats,
Starting point is 01:11:10 concentrate on the squats. I posted a picture, I've always been a naked guy, right? I posted a picture of me in college overlooking the Appalachian Trail naked, just my butt. And then I said, I'm gonna recreate the picture, and I posted it again of me in my naked, just my butt. And then I said, I'm gonna recreate the picture and I posted it again of me in my backyard, just the butt. My butt has fallen apart so bad that it really made me, and I started saying, I'm gonna work on squats
Starting point is 01:11:35 and get my ass built. You're right, a saggy old man ass. There's nothing sexy about it. And then also the back starts to sag. Oh. Oh. And the balls. Oh my God. Well I'm on testosterone, my balls aren't even there anymore.
Starting point is 01:11:50 Oh really? It's just a sack. How much testosterone do you take? A lot. Is it healthy? I think so. We'll see. We'll see, I mean.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Oh my God, look at those pictures. Oh my God, that's the worst. Oh. Oh my God. Oh, that's looking like an elephant on the far right. Yeah, oh my god. Is that a vagina? Oh, that does look like an elephant.
Starting point is 01:12:09 That's an elephant. Oh my god, I think that's bed sores. Oh, maybe it is. Scaling of the buttocks. You gotta admit though, kind of hot though. Kind of hot. Yeah. Look at that.
Starting point is 01:12:20 That guy's got a name on the back of his. I am definitely, you know, dude, I'm working on my ass. You gotta do the squats. It's gotta be cool to be, like, cause at 50, I'm 52. At 52 I go, oh, what if I get Alzheimer's? What if I get dementia? What if I get this?
Starting point is 01:12:35 What if I get that? At 71 you get to go, I didn't get any of that shit. I know, I know, I didn't get any of that. That's crazy. No ALS, no Lou Gehrig's, no none of that. You got nothing, You just are healthy I don't know about that. You know what? I've been doing not lately, but I've done this before There was a time when I was leaving the stove on and my wife got really worried
Starting point is 01:12:54 But it wasn't like high It was very low because I think I turned it the wrong way and the pilot light was still on And then I think and then the other day this happened twice the first time she didn't know it, and I discovered it. I poured a glass of milk, I took the glass out of the cupboard, I poured a glass of milk, I put the milk in the glass cupboard and shut the door. I went away, she videotaped the kitchen,
Starting point is 01:13:16 she opened up the cupboard door, and there was the milk in there, so she's really worried about me. So she wanted me to go in for a dementia test, which is scary. Oh my God. And her therapist says, don't make anybody go in for one of those.
Starting point is 01:13:32 That's really scary to have to do that. Because you don't want to know really if you have dementia because there's nothing they can do, right? There's nothing they can do. To fix it? Yeah, I leave the remote control in the fridge. I've been doing that for a long time. Thank God buddy, we're the same boat man.
Starting point is 01:13:47 I literally, as I'm talking to you, I'm like trying to write things down so I know I'm gonna forget this. Like I just, but I also think it's like, I think you, if you have dementia, you really know. Like you find yourself. But it comes gradually though. I can't remember people's names
Starting point is 01:14:02 like that I've known for a long time. Okay, you know what though? I couldn't remember Lee Major's name the other day. I think what's the six million dollars name? I've done that. Really? I've done that. Yeah. And then I want, I don't want to like somebody to tell me. I want to work it out. I love that. I love that. By the way, I did that the other night in bed. I was like, I was like, what was the name? What is my name? You ready? I said, what country is Dua Lipa from? Now, I know what country because I know- What country is what?
Starting point is 01:14:28 Dua Lipa. Oh, okay. Just randomly, my brain said, what country is Dua Lipa from? And I was like, okay, I know when I lived in Serbia- You lived in Serbia? Yeah, for doing a movie. I was just in there for three months. I was like, I know it's close to Serbia.
Starting point is 01:14:43 I know that it was never a part of Yugoslavia. I know that it's not Chechnya. I know it's not Croatia. I know it's not... Just those names is pretty impressive. As I'm doing it. And I just sat with it all day. And I was like, I know it. I know it. I know it. And then all of a sudden I'm sitting there and I go, fucking Albania. And I was like, kids not got dementia. Albania. It took me all day. Albania. I do that all the time, yeah. But then you go on stage and your act comes off like this, you're like, there's no way someone
Starting point is 01:15:10 with dementia can do their act. Well you know Glen Campbell. Yeah. He had dementia. But he could sing in the salt before. He remembered all the lyrics, how to play the guitar. Then that's fine, if I get dementia I just do stand up a lot.
Starting point is 01:15:21 I just walk around with a mic in my hand. And I'm like, hey, what's your name? Where you from? I'm your wife, I live here. What do you do for a living? I don't have a job, you know that, Bert. I guess it's a long-term memory, you remember, but it's a short-term you don't remember.
Starting point is 01:15:34 So they remember how to play songs and stuff. That's crazy. No, I was actually concerned about it for a second, because I'm a hypochondriac, and I think when Bruce Willis got it, I was like, oh, fuck. Oh, I know, right? And then I did Tampa, and people that I grew up with
Starting point is 01:15:50 were coming up to me, and I was like, Paula, how you doing? She was like, you remember my name? And I was like, fuck, yes, I do. I knew everyone's name I grew up with. I don't remember people's names. Like, when I went to Super Bowl, and it's like this. I'm just like, uh huh, yeah. And my hearing's going I think.
Starting point is 01:16:07 Oh it is? I think so. If I'm in a bar, I can't hear anybody. Oh no, well that's understandable. But I have a friend who has hearing aids. And he said, do you know when you need a hearing aid when you find yourself saying what a lot? I don't even say what, I just go sure.
Starting point is 01:16:22 Yeah. Sure, and they're like, you really wanna storm the Capitol? I'm like, what? Yeah. Yeah, that's true, that's true. I also think it's like, I also write it off to, okay, if I quit drinking tomorrow,
Starting point is 01:16:37 then everything comes right back. I'd be like, sharp as a tack. Well, you told me the last time I ran into you is you said you're cutting back on the drink. I cut back drastically. Like for like three months I didn't drink and I felt phenomenal. And it was so hard to start drinking again that I said to myself, I'm never going to quit because it's so hard to start. I'm like that with sweets.
Starting point is 01:16:59 I gave up sweets for six months once and I have a real problem with sweets. For real? Yeah. What's your go-to sweet? Whatever's there. Like if you go to the store, are you a Sour Patch guy? Well, here's what I am. Not so much sour, that's a little too tart.
Starting point is 01:17:11 I love the double chocolate Milano cookies. I'll put a bag in that little shopping cart, and as I'm shopping for other stuff, I'll be eating them. The bag is finished by the time I get to the cash register. Oh my God, oh my God. And I pay for the bag basically. Just paid for the bag. Yeah, but I love all kinds of chocolate chip cookies.
Starting point is 01:17:31 Yeah, all of that stuff. I was just talking to a football player about the best desserts are the hot cookie or a hot brownie with ice cream on it, with caramel all over it. Peach cobbler for me. Oh my God, I. But you would eat that, even though you're not a sweet guy.
Starting point is 01:17:48 You know what, no. Like when sweets show up at the table, I don't. I just don't indulge. It looks amazing. Sometimes I'll go, the only one I cannot say no to, and I don't know, this is like a weird, it's a weird one, is key lime pie. Oh yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:04 If I see key lime pie, I know that it was meant to be in my life. Like if it shows up, then I go, there's a reason it's here, and I'm not gonna deny that reason. Is it the real key lime pie that's not green? My mouth's watering right now. We stayed at a place in New Hampshire, it was a theater, I forget the name of it.
Starting point is 01:18:19 Where in New Hampshire? Do you remember it? Portsmouth? Manchester? I don't know. I don't remember. Yeah, it gets to be like that. When I first met Sarah. Bareilles? So.
Starting point is 01:18:30 Sarah Zilberman, she said she was from New Hampshire and I said, oh cool. She goes, you look like you don't, you want to say something. I go, I don't know where New Hampshire is. She was like, you don't know where New Hampshire is? I know where Albania is, but not. Albania, are you talking about Albania?
Starting point is 01:18:46 But no, we played in New Hampshire, at some place in New Hampshire, and they had, and I think about this like once a week, they had frozen chocolate dipped key lime pies on a stick. So they had a slice of key lime pie that they dipped in chocolate and then had them in the freezer and you could eat as many as you want and I had three. Wow. I like that with ice cream sandwiches. Milford. Guilford.
Starting point is 01:19:10 Oh, Guilford. Could be Milford, I don't know what that is. You grew up in Connecticut, right? I did grow up in Connecticut, but my grandparents lived in Kittery, Maine, which is right across the New Hampshire border above Portsmouth. Really?
Starting point is 01:19:22 We go up there every year and it was beautiful. And also I have a, this is an interesting story. I was going up to Maine to an island called Islesboro. Excuse me. And my mother said, oh, you're going up there. You should look up your great, great, great, great grandfather. He was a ship captain and he died and they buried him
Starting point is 01:19:40 in a Protestant cemetery there. It's a very small island. And so I thought, okay, what's his name? Elihu, what's the last name? Elihu. And I said, okay, so I can't find the cemetery, so I find this Protestant minister. I knock on his door, and I could see him across the room,
Starting point is 01:19:57 he's, you know, the house he's eating, he's finishing breakfast or something. Can I help ya? And I say, sure, yeah, I'm looking for the Protestant cemetery, I'll show you where it is. So we get in the car and he's driving me down this road, this becomes a dirt road and then kind of grass in the middle, then all grass and then it stops.
Starting point is 01:20:13 And he looks out the window and he goes, it's right over there. And I get out, it's all bushes. I said, he goes, yeah, you gotta look through the bushes and stuff and there's little markers, these little stone markers with the dates on them and the little names and they're leaning over.
Starting point is 01:20:28 And I looked for like a half hour, I couldn't find it. So I go back to him, I said, he goes, did you find it? I said, I can't find it. He goes, did you look up in the trees? The trees over years will pick up the marker, the gravestone, and it'll grow up with the tree. So there would be markers up in the tree, gravestones. It's like a Stephen King kind of a story.
Starting point is 01:20:48 Oh my God. And I've seen that happen with bikes before, where it brings the bike up. I've seen that. I think I saw that with a car. I saw it with a battleship. It was crazy, man. And it was a little birch tree.
Starting point is 01:20:59 Yeah, see, there you go. It'll grow into the tree. Yeah, it'll just. That's wild. Yeah, look at that gravestone right there. That'll take it up. I kind of almost now wanna be buried and the day I'm buried, plant like an oak right next to my tombstone
Starting point is 01:21:15 so it gets brought up in the tree and I end up up, and then your body's almost in the tree too. Your face is sticking out a little bit? Yeah, just like that. They beheaded Oliver Cromwell after he was dead. Oh, better. That's better.
Starting point is 01:21:31 Yeah. If you had to behead somebody, I know you like knives. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Would you do a slow cut or would you do an ax or would you do like a big scissor kind of thing or a carving knife? I would do a big. What did you do an axe or would you do like a big scissor kind of thing or a carving knife? I would do a big.
Starting point is 01:21:47 What did you use last time? The last time I did it, I was wrong. I tried to do paper cuts and it just took forever. Yeah, you need the legal pad paper. No, I always think like they, like when they went to behead, I was a little obsessed with beheading because I was obsessed with history, and when they went to behead Marie Antoinette,
Starting point is 01:22:07 they found out she had a, no, no, was it Marie Antoinette? She had her dog with her, and she had a wig on, and her wig fell off. But they all wore wigs back then. I know, but I think people also just were like, oh, that's what you look like? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what your head looks like rolling down the street?
Starting point is 01:22:25 I would use one of those big, big axes. I think you want a lot of the energy. Like a cartoon axe? Yeah, like a cartoon, like a battle axe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a big battle axe. Yeah, yeah. I don't think I could behead somebody.
Starting point is 01:22:39 If you had to, you would. Yeah, if I needed something to hurt my daughters, I could definitely kill them. Yeah. I would have definitely killed them. Are you okay watching like gory TV? I can't watch, you have a horror movie coming out called Inhabitants.
Starting point is 01:22:51 You are such a researcher. And, and. I'm really impressed. Thank you for all that work. No, thank you. It comes out February 14th on Apple TV. Is it the 14th? Yeah, it is. I gotta tell you something.
Starting point is 01:23:00 I've done like, I have five films coming out this year, but they're small films. I've done like one or have five films coming out this year, but they're small films, I've done like one or two a couple years ago, and... Are you gonna have me go more too? Yeah. Okay, keep going. And I'm watching TV, there's a trailer for a movie, and it looks really scary.
Starting point is 01:23:16 I go, oh my God, this looks good. And I'm watching it, and then they cut to my scene. I'm in a scene, I'm in a crystal shop, like selling crystals, like, Oh, that's that movie. Is that inhabitants? Yeah, it's an habit. The premise is there's a boy, I know he's a man, but he looks like a boy to me in the movie, but he's a young man and he's married and he gave up the church and the guy that he went to camp
Starting point is 01:23:39 with who was his camp counselor, who was kind of like really indoctrinating the church is now haunting him. And then he brings his mom back who still has faith to try to get rid of the spirit, correct? I have no idea. I have no idea. I didn't read it. I got to see this movie. It sounds good. Yeah, that's the gist of it. You know, from the trailer, you can see it. This is what I like to do. I like to go to a movie set, and the director comes over, and he goes, hey, we're really happy to have you here.
Starting point is 01:24:09 I said, I'm happy to be here, and I can't wait to read the script, and will I have a little time to read it? We should have read it. Is there ever a place you won't be funny? Like where you go? No, because like we talked about before, I'm trying to lighten up things
Starting point is 01:24:27 because that makes me feel more comfortable. But I guess, I mean, I've done memorials before where I try to be funny. You did, whose memorial did you do that I just recently? I've done like, I did Shanlings, I did Norm McDonald's, I did Tom Sikora, oh no, I did not do his. He'll be doing his. You should start working on that right now.
Starting point is 01:24:49 I know how it starts. You do? Looks like I won. I'm still here. I think everyone in this room is as shocked as I am that it's me doing his and vice versa. It's such a great line, you hope that he dies quickly. I did this Gary Shanley one, I have people coming up to me,
Starting point is 01:25:05 would you do my memorial afterwards, would you do, but I've done a few. How do you prepare for Gary Shanley's memorial? Well, you wait for him to die first. Well, you know, he died, which was a total shock, because he'd never done that before. He did. And so we were really great friends.
Starting point is 01:25:32 It was like you and Tom. And they didn't have the memorial until like a month later. So I had plenty of time when I was on the road. I would put the headphones on, listen to sad music, or music we used to listen to, and just write my memories of him. And I had like a month to do it,
Starting point is 01:25:47 so it was really the first thing I've ever prepared for in my life. Really? Yeah, yeah. So that's kind of what you do. And also I found that it's the best audience, because they're all in tune, they're listening, there's not a blender going on in the back.
Starting point is 01:26:03 It's a little funny goes a long way. A little funny is the savior. When you talk about the times you used to have and people start getting choked up and then bam, you hit them with a joke and they laugh harder because they're looking for that escape. Yeah, it's true, it's like after 9-1-1,
Starting point is 01:26:21 I think there was a certain time you had to wait or for anything, even like the fires and you know, and then people are looking for something to bring them back up again. Whose memorial did you do better at? Like if you had to post one online and you're like, which one would get more likes? Shandlings or Norms? Probably Shandlings. Norm's, my favorite line with the Norm one was, everybody's saying how brave his comedy was and courageous. And I said, I think it was just poor judgment. You know? It's totally poor judgment on his part.
Starting point is 01:26:58 It's crazy that in OJ's death, all they did was post Norm clips. OJ died, the only thing that went out was all Norm roasting OJ's death, all they did was post Norm clips. OJ died, the only thing that went out was all Norm roasting OJ. Kind of wild. Yeah, I love those Norm clips now, they're showing. I didn't realize he was that funny. I'm serious, I never, I thought Norm was just kind of
Starting point is 01:27:21 a wise guy, but then he started playing all these clips, I go, that's hilarious. His book is great. He was one of the guys that we all discovered, like when the internet showed up and then all of us had been doing standup for a while and we knew who Norm was, but we didn't, you only knew the Norm show
Starting point is 01:27:38 or Dirty Work or his SNL stuff. But he didn't really get the props I think that he deserved. And then when the internet showed up, I remember the first clip was the clip of carrot top where he goes There he's with Courtney Courtney Smith and she was like I'm doing a movie with Carrot top and Coney goes no me got a joke about that. She goes, what's it called? He goes chairman of the board norm goes is it spelled B O R E D and I mean that was the first clip of Norm's where
Starting point is 01:28:05 everyone's like, I got a deep dive him. I mean, his favorite joke of mine was he goes, my dad's country guy, went out in the country. I was with him the first time he saw an elevator. Do you know this joke? He goes, yeah. I like the impression though. Doors open and a big old fat lady gets in it and my dad didn't know what it was. The doors close and then they open again and a beautiful woman comes out of it and my dad looks at me and goes, Norm, go get your mom. Ha ha ha ha.
Starting point is 01:28:32 That's a good joke. Norm was, the thing I liked about Norm, I don't have this, but Norm didn't mind the silence in you waiting to get the joke. For a long time. Like he could do it and then if you didn't get it. He wasn't rushing it. He's like, okay.
Starting point is 01:28:49 Like I was, one of my favorite norm stories, and I only have a handful, was I was doing a big, I was gonna do a big show because my special was coming out March 17th. It comes out the 18th this year. It came out the 17th that year. Like I've always, my specials have always dropped on like one of two days and
Starting point is 01:29:08 I was gonna do a big st. Patrick's Day call and sick to work show everyone's gonna show up at 10 a.m At the store and we're gonna do shows and day drinking all the way until like 9 o'clock at night and I had everyone I had like spade norm and everyone Sebastian Joe that was stacked. And Colin, Colin, Colin. No, Colin, Colin Farrell? Stay at home. It was Colin's work.
Starting point is 01:29:38 The stay at home orders came in on the 13th. So everyone's for pandemic. What do you do when you have a back to back show? What do you mean? When you do two shows a night, do you ever do that? Yeah. How does the sacral go? It goes great.
Starting point is 01:29:51 It does? Yeah, I don't drink on stage. Oh, you don't? No, I think that's the misnomer of me is I think people think I'm drunk. Like I ran into a person, I can't say his name because Ari said it's name dropping, but it was John Legend.
Starting point is 01:30:03 And John Legend said to me the other night, he goes, we're about to do a benefit. And he was like, John Mayor, John Mayor. I'm sorry, not John Legend. It's better if it's John Legend. And so he goes, how on a scale of one to 10, how drunk are you right now? I said, not.
Starting point is 01:30:20 And he goes, no, like how many beers have you had? And I said, zero. Oh, so you don't drink at all before you go on? No, no, never. I never do. Like I have, had? And I said, zero. Oh, so you don't drink at all before you go on? No, no, never, I never do. Like I have, but primarily I would never do that. So if we do two shows, I won't drink on the first show, and then on the second show, I'll have a drink
Starting point is 01:30:33 when I start the machine story at the end. So, but, what was I saying? You were talking about- Oh, Norm, Norm. So, stay at home order start on the 13th. On the 17th, we're supposed to do the show. We've all been in our house for four days now. And I got a text from Norm,
Starting point is 01:30:50 I think it was a text or a phone call, and he's like, what time should I be at the club? And I write back, I don't think we're doing the show today, Norm. He said, why not? And I said, stay at home orders. And he goes, what's that? And I said, stay at Homewarders. And he goes, what's that? And I said, there's a pandemic right now.
Starting point is 01:31:08 And he goes, seriously, what time should I be there? And then I just was like, I don't know how to answer. But he didn't mind sending the joke text, and if you didn't get it, and maybe it didn't bother him. No. I liked that. No, nothing bothered him. No, he was a character.
Starting point is 01:31:28 I got tons of stories about Norm. And nobody knew he was sick the last nine years. Really, it was nine years? And I would work with him and I would see him all different weights. He'd be bloated, then he'd be thinned. From all the medicine he was taking. And he would walk the room sometimes.
Starting point is 01:31:43 People just leave. Or people thought he was drunk, but it was the medicine he was taking. In hindsight, I realized that. But Norm was, he was great. He didn't tell anybody? He told our manager, Mark Urbitz. Oh really?
Starting point is 01:31:56 And his son. And his friend, Laurie Joe. But, and me. And Dana, he told Dana too, and he told the VFW downtown, yeah. And the Mason club, the Mason, and Girl Scout Troop 25. And the people in Albania knew. And car salesmen, that's it. Car salesman.
Starting point is 01:32:29 I wish I had that ability. But yeah, he was something. Well, let me see if I have any more questions. I could sit and talk to you for another hour. Oh, I know. You're so, I mean like, So dry. I know that you, you're such a legend and it's like, but you've always been understated.
Starting point is 01:32:50 Like you've never, you're not like a guy that walks in with an entourage. You're not someone that makes a stink. If you're doing spots at the improv and you've been doing them since the improv started, like you're not someone who's like going in and bumping people. No. You're just a Like you're not someone who's like going in and bumping people. You're just a, you're like the stereotype
Starting point is 01:33:08 of what we should all be or strive for. I wish I had a posse. I mean, when I came in here and I saw you got like 12 people working for you, I thought, geez, why don't I do this? Why should get some people just hanging around with laptops? I know. They put on screen protectors
Starting point is 01:33:22 so I can't see what they're doing. Oh really? Yeah, and then I go, well well don't put the screen protector on. They're like, I don't want people to see my work. And you're like, you're working for me. I should be able to look over your shoulder. Red seven on the black eight. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:31 Yeah. All right, let's see. I'm really impressed at how much work you do. No, I'm excited to, do you have a dog? No. You ran out of stuff to research. Do you like music? I do love music. What's your favorite band? My favorite band? Yeah. Right now? Mozart. No, I you know it's it's I don't have a favorite band. You know I grew up loving you know old
Starting point is 01:33:59 school music like you know Clapton and the Stones and Beatles, James Taylor. Oh yeah. You know but now it's um I's, I was on an Ed Sheeran role for a little bit there. He sued for $100 million. He did, for what? For copyright infringement. Didn't you go through that once before? Maybe I saw an old news clip.
Starting point is 01:34:18 My bad. You've been spreading that around though, right? Yeah, a lot. That and Sam Cooke was shot while we were filming.
