Starting point is 00:00:00 Andy Frasco. Wow. I love you. You're the best. What a Thanksgiving Eve dinner. It was, oh, by the way, the thing I'm most paranoid about, I mean, I never did that many mushrooms before ever my entire life. And then we do the podcast, and I'm paranoid that your listeners are going to be like, Jesus, shut the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:00:31 And they'd be right. So to your listeners, I apologize in advance. And remember, Andy's the one who made me do the mushrooms. Not made me, but, like, it was his idea. It made me. Anyway, what a night, Andy. I really do love you. It was like, it was his idea. It made me. Anyway, what a night, Andy. I really do love you. It was like, what a magical night.
Starting point is 00:00:49 You, me, Doloff, Jill, and Steve, and Danielle. Oh, my God. That was just magical in every way. I'm going to go cry into my sock. All right, and we're back. Andy Frasca's World's Favorite Podcast. I'm Andy Frasca, another special edition for the podcast. It's the holiday season, so what's a better way to celebrate the holidays by taking mushrooms with Todd Glass?
Starting point is 00:01:27 Yes, it was a four-hour podcast of basically it was a love fest. We had a group of friends there. We made a Thanksgiving-style dinner with turkeys and hams and took about, I don't know, a heroic dose, probably like like five six grams of really strong mushrooms and we made a podcast we were crying we were uh it was it was a love fest we were singing karaoke um yeah we're singing karaoke uh songs uh we'd sing songs for the people who passed away in our life and what song they loved so much that they wish they sang to the people
Starting point is 00:02:10 that passed away. We talked about family and I think you're going to really like this episode. Todd was the highest I've ever seen him for real. It was just heartfelt. Before we start this episode, I want to say shout out to Dialed In Gummies.
Starting point is 00:02:26 If you're in the Denver area, go grab some Dialed In Gummies. They're the best. I can't say too much bad. I can't say any bad things about them because they are filled with love. They're mom, pa, straight from Denver. The owners take so much love into their product. And if you're in the Denver area, go grab them. And if you see them on the shelf, you better buy them because they sell out really quickly.
Starting point is 00:02:51 And they do collabs with all these different strains and growers. So it's a collaboration. 50-50. You win. I win. Blah, blah, blah. It's awesome. So go get yourself some dialed-in gummies
Starting point is 00:03:06 and Deep Eddy vodka. Yes, they're recruiting me to the dark side of vodka. I'm normally a whiskey fan, but Deep Eddy is great. I really enjoy it. Straight out of Austin. They have good flavored vodkas as well.
Starting point is 00:03:22 I'm normally not a fan of them, because when I was a kid, I drank too much of that flavored Smirnoff and I can't get the smell of it. I remember just throwing up and burping Smirnoff grape or whatever. I've always thought about that. This was my first time trying fruited vodka again in a while and it wasn't bad.
Starting point is 00:03:44 I liked it you know i go with the og vodka so if you um that's everywhere so you don't have to be in denver to buy deep eddie you could buy that everywhere so grab yourself some deep eddie and if you're in the colorado area grab yourself some dialed in gummies all right guys hope you guys have a great christmas hanukkah kwanzaa all stuff. And enjoy this episode with my boy, Todd Glass, and Doloff Cohen, and everyone else that came out to the party. It was just a lot of fun. And I think you're going to like this.
Starting point is 00:04:16 A lot of it, you know, it's two and a half hours. I don't know if Joe cut it down from that. But when I sent it to Joe, our producer, it was two and a half hours of madness. So let's see how much he keeps. All right, guys, happy holidays. And next week is the award ceremony.

Starting point is 00:08:30 And I stood tall and did it my way I'm a real bad guy, you know? And when you see these backup singers that come in later I figured out a way I could go They're not great on here but listen up And tears subside You'll see they're coming up It's how I get out of hitting the note I find it all

It was Malcolm Patterson trying to flip a quick bus oh my god so andy hi hey bud and i want you to know that i'm treating this show as professional as mine okay i might seem a little bit i kind of want to introduce what's going on so people don't
Starting point is 00:12:20 think we're crazy people thank you i think that's a good thing to do so we took um i don't know we probably took about five mushrooms you're not gonna talk about the dinner we'll talk about that oh jesus oh my god you're you know the doll off he went through all that no i'm kidding we're about we're we're on mushrooms Todd so i called Todd two weeks ago i'm like hey i'm coming to LA We're gonna try to We first try to do Dolav is a fucking saint He always saves the day Give it up for Dolav
Starting point is 00:12:51 Hey Dolav welcome to the show Let's go Let's go Seriously you gotta love Dolav Dolav's great He helps me with everything How many We planned this thing a while ago right
Starting point is 00:13:02 When did we plan this I was thinking I wish I had a friend like Dolav, and I don't. Steve, I have you, but that's all I got. That's it. Everybody needs a Dolav. How long did we prepare this shroomy Christmas for? Say, for about a month. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:20 When did I call you, Dolav, needing help? Yesterday. Or two days ago, maybe. Angie? No, but... No, no, no. I mean... Dolav?
Starting point is 00:13:32 You mentioned it. I tried. You mentioned it when we were in New York. You said that. I did try. I had his... We found the best drug dealers we could. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:40 To find... Jordan fucked up. Yeah, Jordan fucked up. We were supposed to have a chef here I can I can we were there's gonna be like fun sauce I heard about a giggle juice juice but we got another guy that one was flying around a little bit that's true that is true and then but listen here's i want to know because i think this cuts out the unnecessary part of would that we were on different lines of communication what dinner was going to be tonight but i will tell you this this is this is i think at least worth repeating for me right
Starting point is 00:14:20 i'm gonna it is exactly what i said and it and tell you, folks, you don't need to know the details to go, everything that I thought that Andy would do wrong, he did wrong. Because it was just, it was with some blind hope and blind faith. It worked out. A lot of love and a lot of will wishes. It worked out. Wouldn't this be cool, right? But while I'm sitting there, I'm going, I got to this place pretty good.
Starting point is 00:14:42 You know, I came in, I had to talk to you about it, but I got there pretty good. I said, here's the mantra. I put myself, I went, you know what? I go, but you know, you make me push me to do things outside of, you know, my comfort zone sometimes. And then what do you want? Some boring friend?
Starting point is 00:14:58 If you're going to hang around people that are experimental, then you're going to have to do drugs. I don't know the point of the story. But anyway, so he makes me, yeah. So there's the good part about it is that you force me to do things, to be spontaneous. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:12 You force me to be spontaneous. And overwhelmingly, I benefit by that. That's why I like you, but that's one of the elements that I like you. You're certainly more spontaneous than me. I'm scared to shit to do a lot of stuff. So you get me to be spontaneous, and I go, now, in this one moment, his spontaneity is really fucking everything up. But I will look at the big picture.
Starting point is 00:15:34 I will look at the big picture and go, I still benefit by that being Andy. So if this slice, you know, I didn't make that. I don't think I made that. I had to tell you two to three times. I walked in and you said frasco i knew this isn't what you told me it'd be well it was because you know what you end up telling the details because you don't want to sound like a monster like i was literally hit him in the face we all saw you hit him in the face hold on let me explain because he deserved it serve it in tin foil so i saw andy did you mention my new show 10 year old tom it's on the second season second season
Starting point is 00:16:17 it's on hbo max uh no no is it i actually actually told the producers that you've been getting high before you've been doing the voiceovers. I don't do that. I have mentioned that a few times. You know what? I thought maybe that's not a good thing to do, to admit it. But no, it's fine. I've been already doing it. What are they going to say?
Starting point is 00:16:33 No, I'm telling them you're shooting up. What are you saying? Shooting up? Whatever it takes. Steve, what are you saying? I shouldn't say it? I love that. That's great.
Starting point is 00:16:40 I shouldn't say it? No, say you're shooting up. No. Tell them the truth. I shoot up. I get nervous. I shoot up. I get nervous. I shoot up. I get nervous. I shoot up. His arms. Both arms. that that's great no i shouldn't say it no say you're shooting up no tell them the truth both arms both arms i listen i get a little nervous so sometimes if i just shoot up no i should make a joke people have serious you know addictions it's not i don't have to make it so we basically we ate mushrooms and we and we got a turkey and we had mashed potatoes Basically, we ate mushrooms and we got a turkey and we had mashed potatoes.

Starting point is 00:24:46 They happen to have a poster that says love. What are the odds of that being the, that's going to be, that's what's going to actually end up happening. Every city would just put up big monuments that go, the city where everybody dances together. You know, and people would all just start dancing together. If they would listen to the monuments in monuments and cement and you know that they that they carve out this was what just start creating things this was 2020 everybody just started dancing in the streets at night it was so much fun people were just dancing all over we do that in their memory and you get people to do it again this is the trick well maybe like we could

Starting point is 00:26:32 Do I need the louder amplification in the room?

I, because of the bottles in the studio, I have a... Oh, thank you. Yes! Oh, yeah, I did. Thank you. Todd, you're going to have to answer one question, buddy. I am.
Starting point is 00:31:56 I'm going to answer you. Here, let me... Here. I had it lit here. I thought I had it here. I'm losing my mind. I know what I want my legacy to be And I'm not going to make it No there's something on the wall
Starting point is 00:32:06 Thank you for being the only man in the room I don't like that term The only true hero Thank you Freedom fighter We were at Transformers And they were saying freedom fighter Which is kind of like very republican
Starting point is 00:32:22 You know how good that is when you want it. Yeah. That's what the police... So tell me, what do you want your legacy to be, Todd? I've been trying to get this question out of you for three fucking years. I don't want you to think I'm joking. My legacy... Look, I bet my legacy is the same as... Is anybody here, is anybody here?
Starting point is 00:32:46 Right. Right. Maybe fun. Why do I have to keep joking? I don't want to joke. It's a good question. Oh no. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:32:54 I do have an answer. I, but I've said it, you know what it is? I feel like I've said it so many times, but you asked me in this slice, at least to be because you can't just say, you say, oh oh i want to be on the right side of history everyone goes oh yeah yeah yeah but there's some definition there of what it takes to do that you know what i mean so i want i want to be like i want to be where i hurt as least amount of people as possible with the words and the things that i say that I'm aware that I'm aware you know it's not to go back and punch your old work in the face it's to say like it's okay to grow what are you holding on to like you were a good
Starting point is 00:33:32 person then you're a good person now but you know different things and you change and so my legacy because you see like you know you don't have to be out there like literally hurting these people that get hurt you know underdogs whatever whatever who it is but you see now like what it's like they get 100 and you know you can fix that you can stop that you know so to to have the least of that possible i know there's going to be remnants i know there's going to be things that even me in 30 years i'll be like isn't that funny i was on that show when i was talking about it but at least it'll show so there's the long answer the clean answer with all that this guy gave a fuck i gave a fucking you know to exactly that to making people that should
Starting point is 00:34:12 have rights get the rights they want they shouldn't have to fight for them learn from the past and just make people breathe easier not harder that's beautiful and now and that's that's right there you go. So you know what? Are you addicted to sugar? I'm addicted to sugar. I love that soda. God bless America for Coca-Cola.
Starting point is 00:34:33 It was over there. I just grabbed it. No, I think about that too. I see this man. I'm telling you have a sugar problem. Shh. Don't talk. Don't talk.
Starting point is 00:34:44 It's your podcast. No one laughs at that. What am I in a room for? sugar problem don't talk you're the guest got a pie we got two pies you had something in there no I'm talking about okay let you say you're saying that do you want it that you tried but oh I tried right well that makes sense right I feel like everyone tries. What makes you... No, people don't try. You know, the truth is, Andy, and I talked about... I thought about this before I did your show, because I talk about this a lot.
Starting point is 00:35:12 I put thought in... Like, I know, don't trickle down that path unless you feel you have anything to clear it up with, you know? But, you know, we talk about trying. Most people don't. Most people are annoyed by the sheer attempt of anything different. And they'll admit it if they weren't around or trying to fluff it up. It takes a lot of work to fluff it up and make it presentable.
Starting point is 00:35:27 But the truth of the matter is behind the curtain door, they're just fucking, I get it. It's like one more fucking thing to learn. But they try to, they can't, no, they can't say that. So that's why it's hard to explain to them because they don't know. It's because they're afraid to just go, I just don't want to learn anything new. At least that would be a start. But is that dying? I think a lot of it is that you just
Starting point is 00:35:46 people it's hard to learn new shit but i'm not excusing it by the way but that's what's inside i don't know if even if you ask me that do you get excited to learn something new every day no don't try to trick me with one i look forward to wallowing in my own sorrow and stupidness i explained it because you know i explained it out of paranoia not to to in my own sorrow and stupidness. I explained it because you know why I explained it? Out of paranoia, not to hear my own voice. Because I do ask myself that question. Number one, do you think you're perfect?
Starting point is 00:36:15 And that's why I said to try. Just to try. It doesn't mean I think I'm great. I see other comedians that inspire me. That make me want to be a better comedian. Oh, I shouldn't think I should. That's all right. You know what I mean? But I hope I have something to say what about are you ever afraid that you're just gonna lose it oh i already did you know what i mean though am i gonna lose it if the
Starting point is 00:36:37 no i don't i've watched i've been with you the last couple years and you and as a friend i watch you watch these I'm losing it you're not losing it I think you're inspired you're being inspired by the people who are doing it at older ages what are you talking about we last two years I've been hanging out with you we'd watch like Neil Sadaka and what he's not musicians yeah whatever like you're talking about old musicians. Yeah, whatever. I thought you were talking about comedians. Same thing. Same thing.
Starting point is 00:37:07 How about Tom Jones? Why do you have to say Neil Sadaka? I mean, talk to that guy. Any of your long-time listeners are going to know. I just think it's so weird. I never even mentioned that. You made me want Neil Sadaka. You wanted me to come to the fucking show.
Starting point is 00:37:22 No, I didn't. You're talking about Tom. He never showed me Neil Sadaka, but I do believe it's tell you what. I'm going to clear this up in one second. He's never shown me Neil Sadaka, but I do believe it's possible. No, we're going to clear this up in one second. There's no way it is. First of all, here's why I don't bring it up. Everything's going to make crystal clear.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Also, hold on. Wait a second. We don't even know if Neil Sadaka's bad. Like, he's not cool. No, that's the point. Yeah, he's... And he is alive, and he's fine. And here's the point.
Starting point is 00:37:42 You've done this before, right? And then in one second i'm gonna clear it up like i did before but i want to hold tight the danger in doing it is because it happened throughout the night usually i just go yeah yeah yeah i move on is that you don't want to seem and steve just said it like you're like when i'm saying oh it wasn't neil sadaka like that's disrespectful to neil sadaka neil sadaka he's been around forever it was never anything that you know that i you know he's not gonna he has an unfortunate name he has a tough name it's like engelbert humperdinck you know i know what he
Starting point is 00:38:08 does i would not watch one of those videos it doesn't look like something oh i'd love to be at that show you know it's just i don't so paul anka paul anka that's what i mean paul anka do you know who paul lincoln is no exactly no He wrote it my way. He wrote it my way. Is he right or do you want to... No. You just turn to him, swing around, exactly. So is, and that's completely different. No.
Starting point is 00:38:30 That's completely different. I'm on mushrooms, not to be stupider. You just wanted to zing me like, oh wow. You go, do you know who Paul Anka is? No. So there. So there what? So there what? there what there's paul you're missing my point you're missing myself you're missing my point yes go ahead you're very short
Starting point is 00:38:51 amount of time to gather this okay so i'm gonna let you go you're making us which i love because it's inspiring me because i feel we're watching these guys not in their prime we're watching them when they're 85 and 90 do their thing i gotta stop you again but you're gonna know i'm hearing you look i first of all i should be the room is now moving so i want to tell you that but i'm going to still hold the conversation you're even complimenting me what on a podcast is sweet right from the start you're sending me conwords but i'm going to tease you a little bit in between and it's really teasing you based on my insecurity so when you're telling somebody oh remember we listened to that you want them to you know it's not be what it was and you keep saying neil's
Starting point is 00:39:33 exactly we weren't listening to neil's i'll put an end to this would paul i think i would i yes because that's the old crooner go ahead you're missing this we were i didn't think i would like paul anka but i I went with Todd to see him in Beverly Hills about four years ago. Oh, shit. It was a great show. And I knew nothing about him before, and I actually was like, oh, shit, he's good, and he wrote My Way, and he was a great performer.
Starting point is 00:39:55 No, Paul Anka's great. Most people wouldn't even doubt that. Most people from afar could know, oh, Paul Anka, crooner, but also it's very easy not to know who he is, so I'm not one of those people. That's what I'm trying to get at, Glass. He's not that known in the U.'s but i gotta get my insult out all right not my insult my my insecurity i should call it kurt it's with the c at the end um so when you give examples i'm embarrassed if you go it would be like if i said oh i don't want to insult anybody
Starting point is 00:40:19 comedic wise so i got to use my names carefully here you You know, remember Andy? We used to talk about comedians. I can't think of anything now. Like if mine was gonna be like like, remember we used to play Judy Tanuta all night long? I'd go, no I didn't. Like not as an insult to Judy. Rest in peace.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Rest in peace. Of course rest in peace. Oh why don't I just shut up? Todd, I'm saying it goes back to like wanting to learn and be great and still be great in your older age yes well what are we oh oh talking about those singers yes that's what i'm trying to tell you well i think what okay you're thinking about mushrooms let me guide you through this okay let me get a fire in a fire as we get older in life we want to keep
Starting point is 00:41:06 learning and keep learning and being great and being great watching these guys at 85 90 still be great is inspiring that's what i'm trying to get at with legacy yeah you're talking there's two one is the uh uh intellectual like the the uh they're keeping their sh their their their uh craft sharp yes musically like getting, like getting, getting, getting. And then there's the emotional part of it, which I can't always follow in all of them. You know what I mean? Maybe if I knew more, there'd be some that I couldn't like as easy. But yeah, you're talking about...
Starting point is 00:41:36 Because when I talk about somebody that keeps it... I hope they... Shut the fuck up, man. Let's go. We got you an orange slice. Orange crack. We got you an orange one. Orange crack. We got you an orange one. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:41:47 Thank you. My fans know how much he's addicted to sugar. Here's what I want to say. Two big old sodas in 25 minutes. I think what... Thank you. In the bathroom. I was just thinking that.
Starting point is 00:42:00 For your podcast or not. Because I remember, like, I always try to think, people are going to listen to this, so keep your thoughts as clean as you can. You're already all over the place. I think what Andy was trying to say was that, Todd, you're like a young Tom Jones. Oh, thank you!
Starting point is 00:42:16 Why did you do that? Thank you! Thank you all to be loved by anyone. So, yeah, it would have been Paul Anka. I love watching that. And Steve got me tickets about how many years ago we went to see him. And let me tell you something. Yeah, I knew you wanted to see him.
Starting point is 00:42:35 And it was un-fucking-believable. And I will say this for him. And then also, yes, see? And then also, it's up to everybody. Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's up to everybody. It's up to everybody. Oh, it's up to everybody Nobody feels anything but blessed to be here. But you didn't answer the question. I was oh guys. Hold on What was the question? Are you afraid to die? He didn't ask you that.
Starting point is 00:43:06 What are you trying to say? Yes, of course I am. Time just stopped right after you heard it. No, I was answering you. Oh, so Paul Anka, we went, and then three years, I just went on his 80th birthday, and I said that, my friend looks at me and he goes, there is not a performer, no matter what type of music they do, that it wouldn't benefit for them to see him perform right even first of all it's a type of music that it's hard not to like even other performers you go all right i can see some people couldn't like what i do but that's one it could be your second like no matter what so it's not you're getting too
Starting point is 00:43:37 dragged to the but fuck that even if it wasn't your thing at all the my friend goes this guy and he's 80. And by the way, if other guys go out there at 80 and they sit down and they put on a good show, good for them, too. That's fucking nuts. But he's 80 and he's fucking moving. And it's like, my friend goes, this guy's a fucking beast. How do they get that way? Well, long story longer, I hope I didn't tell this before.
Starting point is 00:44:08 When I'm opening up for Jim Gaffigan, I found out that he has to learn how to fake play the violin for a movie he's in. And one of the girls that is teaching him to fake play the violin is in his band. So when we go to see and we text back and forth, she gives me her number and she's going to hook me up with tickets. And we text back and forth. And we... He wants to keep learning. that's what i'm trying to get at oh yeah but i was just having fun explaining your show but uh wait i hate you i can't do anything why do you hate me don't say that i'm controllable um so the thing in the are you still inspired with life?
Starting point is 00:44:46 Is what I'm asking you. Well, listen. I got you good, everybody. Of course I am. Of course I am. I love it here. It's probably apparent, right? I'm trying to answer you honestly.
Starting point is 00:44:59 And also not... It's not that I go for the humor always. I have no problem having depth. Sometimes I worry about the depth of your questions, to be honest, young man. Hey! I don't know if you're just teasing me to make me see how long I'll talk. And Todd, what inspires you? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:19 I mean. Wait, Andy, you asked earlier about when Todd thinks he's going to like, when he snaps or like, like, when he's afraid of losing it and, like, what that will look like, you know? And I think when he does snap, you'll know. He'll start doing, he'll start saying shucky ducky or hamburger, hamburger, something like that. He'll go to a catchphrase when he's doing stand-up. Like, what would be an example, Todd, of your, like, what would be your catchphrase? If I lost it on of your like yeah if you lost you would know sometimes I do I just go I I get I get it but what will I
Starting point is 00:45:52 do if I get really yeah no I just yell at them usually I don't that's the problem you I don't get it what's the worst heckler like that is no hecklers you know let me first of all I don't think it's fun to deal with hecklers, so it doesn't happen. And all fair to be complimentary, the rooms, like the good comedy club, the good rooms, I could list them. They don't really have any. People aren't just, hey, Amoya, fuck you. A lot of times, sometimes it's the comedian will ask, hey, do you have any questions? But so there's not ever anybody really heckling at a
Starting point is 00:46:25 show to be honest there's not that disarray ever by the way i'm not going after hamburger jones by the way but i was trying to say like if you were gonna i don't want anybody mad at me about hamburger because i love him we love him hamburger we have great affection for him and i'm glad that you even prefaced that to say it yeah say it. Good for you for saying it. So it's not taken out of context. So the question. You don't answer any of my questions. I did too.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Shut the fuck up. Welcome to the zoo crew of insecure guys, everybody. We can't talk about our feelings. She might be right. Why are we afraid to talk about our feelings? Andy, I don't know. I'm not. think you're tricking me into thinking I am I'll talk about anything
Starting point is 00:47:11 And sing off key So, you know, my boundaries are down But it's And then I answer your questions And then, you know, you don't care I do care I think you care He wants you to cry.
Starting point is 00:47:25 He's trying to get to the heart of it. I want to get... I want to... It's Christmas. No, I mean then. Oh, now you put it on me. Why? Well, that it's Christmas and I say you don't care.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Is this the beginning of a friendship? This is your worst Christmas, Todd. This is the worst Christmas I've ever had. I care. I love you. You know I love you to death. But I do care. I know we have a... Andy, I don't think it's funny for me to hear you don't care i love you you know i love you to death but i do care i know we have andy i don't think it's funny for me you don't care i know you care i'm talking about in the isolated
Starting point is 00:47:52 moments sometimes when you ask me the questions are you asking it tongue and cheek that's what i'm not that's just how i talk and you know what you're probably right if you know better than anybody so i apologize don't deal with it all the time I'll just go straight for it what's that thing that building wall does when he goes he's here's your sign right is that the thing what is that can you do that for us one time what are you trying to scare me off yelling how does that go he knows he just throw me in other direction just give Todd a cookie over How does that go? Here's my sign! Here's my sign! He knows he can just throw me in another direction. Just give Todd a cookie over here and stop talking about
Starting point is 00:48:29 what I don't even remember what it was now over here. But the thing about life... I get it. Come on. We're on mushrooms. I know. Just a law. You seem nice. Legally, Todd's not on any mushrooms. I'm talking to his lawyer right now on the side. You're not on mushrooms right now.
Starting point is 00:48:49 For the purposes of... You're not on mushrooms. You're not actually on mushrooms. Absolutely not. You're the only one that's not. Everyone else is. Todd. We're going to have to get to the nitty gritty here pretty soon.
Starting point is 00:49:02 Even if it takes 20 years. What if you're mind-fucking me? What if we listen to this back and someone goes, actually, Todd was answering all his questions. to the nitty-gritty here pretty soon even if it takes 20 years i'm going to keep me what if we listen to this back and someone goes actually todd was asking answering all his questions like what is it do you want to know i'm going to pick close attention okay yes go and i'm not calm i don't have to go take a minute just go ahead are you depressed no no i get into funks but i uh try to you know try I can get through those. Are you lonely? No, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:49:28 I'm actually not lonely. You can not be in a relationship and not be lonely. I wouldn't mind being in another relationship, but I'm not lonely at all. When was the last time you've came? Take it serious, guys! Oh! No, under in my pants right now. Does that count?
Starting point is 00:49:47 No, that wouldn't be an honest answer. This afternoon. Can a guy like Todd Glass go on Tinder? No, I don't because I'm too insecure. But anybody should go on Tinder. That if it serves them well and have a ball. Seriously, why would I get in the way of someone? He's on J-Date.
Starting point is 00:50:04 What is it? J-Date. What is he? That's the Jewish.'s on j-date what is it j-date what what is he what is he that's the jewish j-day yeah well what if i but like i'm gonna have her wow no not if it's jews doing it i gotta prevent that i'm for any other person doing that but you have one group that should do it everybody farmers well we all agree on that let's go home yeah but i don't think that group should get the popsicles oh we thought that once you wanted the popsicles you wouldn't give a who ate popsicles and then they all got into a fight because i like the popsicles but i don't think that group should get to eat popsicles
Starting point is 00:50:35 and you sit up here and ask me uh uh do i appreciate life whatever you asked me i answered you honestly i didn't answer you honestly you did I'm seeing things Are you still inspired by life? Yes I am I love youth and can't get enough of it Did you have to change your mind state to be inspired? You've always felt this way I remembered Crystal clearly
Starting point is 00:50:58 I knew it took more Maybe subconsciously than even consciously To just be annoyed by something Doesn't mean you're not going to perpetuate that behavior. Nobody wants to turn into their parents. So I knew early on that it's going to take some work because that seems to be the instinct. But no, overwhelmingly, so I don't fight it, whatever it is. There's no no, there's never any. Do you want some chocolate, Todd?
Starting point is 00:51:21 Yes, or these normal ones? Normal chocolate, yeah. Oh, no, thank you. Well normal ones? Normal chocolate, yeah. Oh, no, thank you. Well, maybe I'll have one more. Just have one more. No, I thought I answered that honestly. So what did you ask me?
Starting point is 00:51:33 If you remember, I put it on you. What did you ask me? I asked you if you still enjoy life. And I answered. Yes. You know, the thing is, I try to think, if I say things, I try to think people are going to hear it. So I hope it would be something. If it's just silly, then it doesn't matter. But if you say, oh, I have these words to offer to
Starting point is 00:51:49 make life better, then you try to use that time valuably and not just ramble on. So that's why I'm thinking about the thing. What about you, Daniel? Oh, happy birthday! Oh, here's what I want to say on my headstone. Lover, fighter,
Starting point is 00:52:06 little fucker. Calvin peeing on the on your headstone. What about you, Steve? What do you want to be remembered by? I don't know. Good time. Good time? Yeah, I think so. We call you that on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:52:24 It's amazing how many people you've helped with their careers. I don't know about help, but I appreciate that. I work with some of those people. Pretty amazing. I'm lucky. I'm lucky to work with them. He tells me all the time. That's his partner, I want to say.
Starting point is 00:52:37 He's one of the most supportive people of comics and younger comics coming up. And you've done a lot behind the scenes to get things done for people and uh she's the best and i'm keeping names steve's a good man you always keep really good people around you thank you really that's one thing I respect about you well thank you you know what I'm just it's not my fault no you know what you I have no memory Oh talking about friends yeah yeah have Have you ever, like, when was the last time you cried of joy?
Starting point is 00:53:27 Oh, every day. In the past tense, sometimes I might, in the present, I might get a little shy of words like I love you or showing emotion to someone that's sitting right over there. Like, obviously with Steve, you know, it gets uncomfortable, but in the past tense, you can show the
Starting point is 00:53:42 emotion even in the same room, but mentioning it in a past tense, which I think makes even in the same room but mentioning it in a past tense which i think makes sense even if it doesn't it doesn't matter but you get the point but um uh there's the fact that you that you keep the friends uh in la yeah i i think sometimes like they're all the people that i the family that i wish everyone got along it's like a good group of people everybody gets along you know everybody relatively and that that group can be like you know and then then you go from in that group and you obviously make closer friendships i mean me and steve are practically as close as you could get you know or somebody that you really uh you
Starting point is 00:54:16 know did you always yearn for that danielle well let me ask about about Danielle when we first met and she knows it that's why I put off talking about it because I was didn't want to embarrass her she spent the first year winking at me true stories you're winking hello over here and eventually I looked and we fell in love. We're a throuple. And we're thrilled about it! So you asked me. I asked you if, were you always looking for family to love you? No.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Why do I want to answer you negatively? I want to come out, don't off-season. Because they just, did they just did you did you um so it's hard for me to take this seriously it could be in your in your in your no but i'm saying it because i do it because like what do you do i don't know i felt like my family loved me but it wasn't a way that i could understand it it was in their own way so like i always looked for a odd family that will accept me and love me and that's why i have all these weirdos like dolov i love dole he's the weirdest guy in my work
Starting point is 00:55:30 he's and he's been the weirdest guy in my in my circle my i have three people that are my circle since third grade this guy's been the biggest fan of and i just want to say you shaped me to be a better person and i just want to say i love you man i love you bro you're my guy but that's what i'm saying like i yearn for that it's important to have that that those relationships in your life and i hope i could be one of those people you know friendships are hold on one second here i feel a little bit overwhelmed because um he's drinking about the shit no i'm a little uh i'm a little too uh i don't want to drink any more soda but i feel over i don't feel overwhelmed that's not the right word i'm uh just
Starting point is 00:56:12 everyone all my fans my podcast fans know he's on his fourth soda no no i'm not no i'm not i'm on one and a half two soda he Soda? He still has two. We all think he's addicted to sugar in our family. Can you take me away a little bit? Yeah. I mean, please. The man is addicted to sugar. Can I get the pretzels to eat up the sugar?
Starting point is 00:56:35 Oh, absolutely. No, that's the way my doctor told me to do it. You know, Andy, I'm trying to take care of myself, and every time I do, you laugh at me. You said, listen to your doctor, listen to your doctor. My doctor said, Todd, if you've ever caught yourself eating too much sugar have a bowl of pretzels to eat up How do you sell out somebody shit, oh, how do you sell that shit to somebody in television I eat pretzels for my health ass. Has anyone ever sold drugs? You sold drugs. let me put this microphone

I don't give a shit. I'm just joking. You're gonna ask? Ask John next. I feel like younger generations aren't gonna know what a drug dealer is. It's like the death of the drug dealer right now. It's the delivery service because they aren't licensed. We still have it. It's where you grow, right? Getting fucking jacked for your money
Starting point is 00:57:46 We were just hanging out with our old drug dealers Last night the homies You said I could do this No and then we changed it Okay That wasn't me No no it wasn't me I got an idea
Starting point is 00:58:01 If you're gonna drink four coca colas I'm gonna have one cigarette I don't care See here I'd rather be honest I got an idea. I got an idea. If you're going to drink four Coca-Colas, I'm going to have one cigarette. I don't care. See, here. Okay. I'd rather be honest. I realize it's not right for me since it's my place to go. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:58:14 It's other people because that puts the onus on them. And as a guest, you're supposed to just say no smoking. I made the mistake. But I'll say, I don't care. So if anybody else would rather it not, which I think, if I remember, somebody did. Now you're putting them in a horrible situation. All right, it's out, Glass. It's out. All right, guys, fine.
Starting point is 00:58:33 I'm pregnant. And so am I. Can't I just shut up? That's what I'm going to call my new special. Why can't I just shut up? I love that I'm going to call my new special. Why can't I just shut up? I love that. Wait, Andy, Andy, I have a question. The weed dealing thing, the weed dealing thing, where did that come from?
Starting point is 00:58:52 I want to know what the... I've just been around, like this tour has been, everyone's legalizing weed now. So all the dealers who still come to my show, give me like, you know, weed in the towns are giving me pounds of weed now because they can't even sell it they're like just take this dude we can't even sell it i was like what is happening all my homies it's crazy it's the it's the death of the drug dealer and it's kind of it's it i used to love my drug dealer you know what good go hang out with them love my drug dealer you know what good go hang out with them i do good
Starting point is 00:59:33 no i'm just saying anything that changes i always almost comedically just go bye you know i uh i made my second record office my my buddy gave me four pounds of hash yeah we'll bleep it out but yanni schomer um gave me four or no i sold it to yanni my buddy in iowa my buddy in iowa gave he's like hey i don't know i don't have any money but i want to support you if you take this four four pounds of hash back to california and sell to one of your friends you'll make five grand six, six grand. And I was like, all right, cool. And I'm like smuggling pounds. I totally wasn't, I was dumb, but it was like, we needed the money and like we had to, so I drove it back to California cause I was living in Schwa's asparagus farm. I was living in asparagus farm in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for six months.
Starting point is 01:00:23 What year is this happening um i was 25 i was 25. about 10. yeah i was doing a residency in cedar rapids like you're doing a what i was doing a res i was like we ran out of money but where where who run out of money like the band ran out of money but we were on we had like uh we had three months off before our other four-month tour that i booked i'm i'm booking the band everything so i'm like oh we'll just stay in iowa it's cheaper than la so it was me ernie and um busy this was uh 11 years or 10 years ago we were in our e350 and uh our buddy schwa you met schwa yeah hippie schwa that's right he's like you could just live in my farm and just all you have to do is cut asparagus for three
Starting point is 01:01:12 months and we just and we lived off the land and we lived in the van and it was and i'd play on like monday this is crazy did you document not that everything has to be documented but it's also not bad i don't know I was like that was when I was like, you know, I was just like that was like my road dog I was doing but that was my life for the first eight years of touring I was doing 250 shows a year you're living in your van right for a long time, right? Ten and a half months a year when you called the three. What did you say? You're 350 what your van? What'd you call e350 43 f 43 is my first one goldilocks
Starting point is 01:01:45 and that's like a sprinter van but only no that was the fourth one the fourth one have an extended roof no no no they were no it was a but it had the better seats comfortable seats how were you safe all the time sleeping out i mean do you feel good or do you feel okay we well this is before this is where the walmart well like we just follow the trucks. So like we do their sleep in the truck, like in the pilot gas stations, or the best was sleeping in the Walmart because they're 24 hour and they're surveillance. But we did you know, we had to put the because it's like really sort of bright lights in the parking lot. So we had to put like towels over the over the over the windows. But'd sleep but you guys got couches and eventually
Starting point is 01:02:25 you know not in the van but but like you can you know well you're at a different point now this is a little no this is not sleeping just in the van no we were driving nights like this is when i was like this is like no tour manager i was driving i was booking i was like calling making deals to get another gig on a wednesday like oh we got we got a wednesday in manhattan kansas now we drive to manhattan cancer 300 bucks it's crazy to think you you just did that yeah right he's still doing it i know i don't mean i don't mean of course he said but what i mean is that to look back and go the dirty work yeah like and and you go wow because it just when you're going through it it's just this is what it is you're not thinking i'm really gonna persevere later in hindsight but in the moment
Starting point is 01:03:11 you're just like it's just you do it yeah doing it you gotta just do it when i i we were in high school i was not at i was not at like in i was always managing all the homies bands and like booking them and promoting them and stuff and and your own band Yeah, that was junior high school. I was talking about like middle school. I was I was an intern for drive-thru records Just booking bands and promoting band 13 13. I love it. It's absolutely insane But I don't know that I don't think it wasn't a grind for me I thought it was fun meeting the crackheads And the prostitutes And the pilots
Starting point is 01:03:46 Wow I would just have You just saying that Am I right? Okay I figured I knew we figured How you two met
Starting point is 01:03:53 Um The um Sharing a cigarette With like Susie In the gas station Meet a lot of nice people There's no doubt about it Gas station
Starting point is 01:04:02 Yeah Yeah People didn't buy you A realica sometimes yeah and uh you meet some of course you meet so many really nice people the reason why i asked you about the drive as we get older is like i'm getting older and my drive has become less and less so i'm asking you for advice oh your drive what drive like i remember my drive when i was 23 24 like i am i'm gonna drive 17 hours for 200 bucks well for that type i you know andy mine was never really good for that like drive first of all driving because i don't know why my dyslexia but i was no drive like you mean
Starting point is 01:04:38 like the hunger like the hunger yeah yeah the hunger inside or actual driving? I still, yeah. How do you feel? You're saying yours? I feel like I'm losing my drive a little bit. But maybe, but can I tell you something? You sure it's not possible to just fix that real quick maybe? And I don't say that with everything. Sometimes it involves therapy.
Starting point is 01:04:58 It involves a lot of different things. But there is also like just to go, yeah, this is fucking crazy that I get to do this. Unless you felt like your drive was maybe too much when you were younger. Now it's maybe like a little bit more normal or safer. It's a good thing maybe. It's funny how that little thing, it's not that we don't, we just, then you go, oh, well, that's, but you're saying drive. But yeah, that could be helpful, right? Maybe I'm bored.
Starting point is 01:05:21 You know what, Andy? I'm doing less. We're all bored. Are you giving up on your podcast? Yes, this is the last episode. He's quitting it all. You know, if somebody wasn't doing a podcast right now and they asked me the questions,
Starting point is 01:05:36 I'd answer the same way with the same... Sometimes I think about quitting everything. Do you really? I really do. This is not a shtick. I feel like some days I get really sad and I just want to quit everything and like... It's a lot of work. Disappear.
Starting point is 01:05:51 It's so much work. It's a lot of work. What would you do if you quit everything? Like, would you just kind of... That's the thing. I don't know. Like, I was bored cutting asparagus. So, I mean, I would get a sailboat and just go into the distance.
Starting point is 01:06:09 Really dark. Yeah yeah i'll be i never give up but i mean you know you're being honest you're being honest i mean it's like it's like this life is so hard and it hurts it's like beats me up and it just gets yeah it's easy you know we've said that in that sense the thing is just oddly because of me having the uh the i don't think about it with comedy with comedy nope i know unless something happens to me that i can't do comedy i still fucking love it but what i do think about and in the last year thought about it a lot was the the the band you know having a little band and having that working someone else's air and someone else's hotel. It's so much fucking fun to do it.
Starting point is 01:06:48 Every time I do it, I'm glad I did it, but it's a lot of work. So I think, well, maybe I don't have to do that all the time so I can fix it for both. But it's a lot of work. And you do it with... Say, Todd, would you feel like ever retiring?
Starting point is 01:07:02 Do you ever think you... I'll answer that so quickly because I hope I wouldn't ever have to do it for the money. I didn't really want to do it. I can't even imagine these people wanting to see me and I wouldn't be thrilled going out there every night. These fucking idiots. Yeah, but he loved it.
Starting point is 01:07:20 Rickles loved it? Of course he loved it. Even at the end of his career, he still loved it. That's the only thing that kept him alive, obviously. I think so. I think he goes loved it oh of course he loved it of course he loved it even at the end of his career he still loved it the only thing that kept him alive obviously at one point I think he did like um and that's what I also think too like this is what keeps me alive is entertaining and oh it's fun it is really I really live for doing it I like fun to do right it keeps me on the road it keeps me happy I mean that's what I'm most happy zen i think other than meeting you that was you made me happy as well we both have the same story by the way me and eddie um he's in another throuple it's another throuple that he's in that's why
Starting point is 01:07:56 that's what the police that's what the police said um but no it's hard man it's hard, man. It's hard, right? You're taking care of all these guys. Even as big or small as you are, as a musician or as a person like you, it's a lot to handle. And I totally get it, man. It's just not easy. But you mean a lot to so many people and
Starting point is 01:08:26 you know it's it's it's hard to like keep it going he's being sentimental just eating a fucking box of pretzels
Starting point is 01:08:36 I'm totally taking it in and loving to see the good energy in the room you try twisting and turning on me maybe you're not such a good guy
Starting point is 01:08:44 that's what you wanted in the room. You tried twisting and turning on me? No. Maybe you're not such a good guy. That's what you wanted? I don't even know how loud my pretzel eating was. People are going to go listen back to it. Because you know how I know,
Starting point is 01:08:55 literally, I was all the way back here and I'm truth because I didn't want to be Well, to be fair, I don't have headphones on
Starting point is 01:09:02 so I couldn't hear if there was munching. And I don't even think you heard it. You probably just saw it, and you know I'm sensitive about my big, fat, crackling, eaten pretzel jaws. But I love you, Dolov. Thanks for always being there for me, man. You're my guy.
Starting point is 01:09:18 I'm telling you. I got a really good support system. What about me? What do I get? I know it's your podcast. I'm sorry. I'm going to gonna fuck you know but but honestly I really can I think of you as like like I think a doll of I could think of Jill now like I'm about to think of Stephen Fine Arts after this beautiful night Danielle we're connecting tonight yeah like this is this is what we need this is why
Starting point is 01:09:48 this is the type of thanksgiving dinner that everyone should have it's all about connection and that's why we're trying to do this that's why todd shouldn't punch his face i do apologize for punching steven danielle behind the behind the shed why did you do? Because he folded the napkins the wrong way, and I told him to fold them long. How long has he been beating you? Why do you have to make it a horrible bit now? It was one comedic
Starting point is 01:10:13 pow to the face. He's like, no, let's not make jokes about hitting. They never... I sprayed him in the water bottle. I sprayed him in the face with a water bottle when he did something. Are inspired dolov uh i i'm inspired by people like you you know honestly like watching the drive and you know talking about drive like the drive that you have like is inspiring i'm like how does he get up every day and
Starting point is 01:10:53 you know do a million things do your podcast handle the band and you know life makes him say this no it seems very great he does he does pay me. And now he looks a little afraid. Am I doing it right this time? I think Glass hates feelings. He doesn't want to go there. Glass hates feelings. You hate the feel.
Starting point is 01:11:15 Andy, I love you, and you're not going to ever tell me that without me flooding you with love. I love you. I adore you. I say it out loud. Do you love yourself? I do. I have problems with myself. I always try to answer honestly, so you have to give a little. We all do. Keep you love yourself? I do. I have problems with myself. I always try to answer honestly, so you have to give a little.
Starting point is 01:11:27 We all do. Keep Dolav on the mouth right now. Oh, yeah! I love Dolav. Dolav. And I don't have to wait until he's not here to say it. Like, we always say, like, I'll be talking to Vinny. I'll be like, you got to love him because he would see you in Denver.
Starting point is 01:11:40 Always a good energy. You sometimes take that for granted. And I say the same thing about, well, I'm sorry. I always forget your names. But I do take that for granted. And I say the same thing about, well, I'm sorry, I always forget your names. I do take it for granted. I do take it for granted. Danielle, I know that, you know, you're my guy.
Starting point is 01:11:57 I'm sorry if I take it for granted. I realize I can call Danielle without Steve. I go, I don't need you. Yeah, we don't. We usually just go through Steve And then I found out Oh, I can go right to Danielle Hey Gets right back to me
Starting point is 01:12:10 A fun text I don't know Steve, I feel like I'm bothering him He's probably editing something What is Todd showing me this before and after fake photo he found on TikTok? I've got editing to work on But then I go over and I text Danielle, funny picture, maybe a video.
Starting point is 01:12:28 Oh, I love that. That was so inspiring. Boom, I watch it. Steve, I'll see you at Andy's. You got any editing work for me? I feel like we're close. I don't think that's true. What am I? That show where
Starting point is 01:12:45 you answer funny and then you give the genuine i go joke and then i go no but seriously i'll say both i'll start with the serious and end with the joke if you'd prefer steve is a great guy and i love him dearly and i'm not afraid of my emotions but you say that the reason is because i don't think you think it you just sort of say it and i'm doing impersonation without knowing but if i slip into it no i'd say because i mean it sometimes sometimes i worry about you i listen to i listen to your podcast i listen to your interviews i study you glass you're one of us into the podcast yeah you're my teacher well first of all thank you for even in thinking my podcast is worth listening to so yeah you're i i learn a lot from you i'm trying to be nice i know sick and sometimes i worry about you oh do you really though yeah honestly truthfully well
Starting point is 01:13:39 in the sense of like just so we can get to get right to the point not me not me taking my life right no you wouldn't never do that i wouldn't i and i don't obviously i'm saying that just so you i i've had this conversation with other friends uh would you no i promise no no steve once and i couldn't believe what he said to me i said steve just so i know he goes i take your life i thought that was disrespectful but he said but he is there but he said as far as he goes, I take your life. I thought that was disrespectful. But he said, as far as he goes, no, he's fine. But I've had this conversation with people, and it's nice to have. It eases me when they're having a very stressful day to know we've had that conversation about, should I worry about you?
Starting point is 01:14:20 Yeah. So me, no. No, of course not. When he gets sad, he just eats'm a when i'm sad i get a lot of people everybody knows it um i get into funks like i said but i that's when my friends yeah you have a great support system around you yeah i have a yeah i love i have a lot of really you know good friendships or like family without the drama. It's so crazy that story of when you had a heart attack and Sarah Silverman and the people basically called the cops. Is it cops or police?
Starting point is 01:14:56 No, you know, I remember they used to have to call the police even if there were drugs involved because i remember once with my ex's mom by the way there's a double sort of absurdity to this story that for a long time i told the story and i didn't admit that i was in a relationship when this happened so i would go my mom when i was telling the story do you follow me like i've got friends my mom because instead of my ex's mom you i never saw you ever in a relationship you just try to make it up and uh and then uh and then i go and I say, yeah, my mom. And then I would do the accent. It was a French accent because my ex's mom was French. And my friend goes, why is your accent French?
Starting point is 01:15:33 I started sweating. And Sarah Silverman goes, you know him with his voice, his noise or whatever. Like, you know, him with his stuff he does. Whatever. I don't know the word she used. And deflected for me. Thank you. Thankfully. And then she ended up giving everyone in the room
Starting point is 01:15:50 $50. Why? To look interested in what I was saying. Oh, in the hospital. So when I... God, this table. I know it's the mushrooms, but I just want you to know what I'm doing. It's not the mushrooms. It's not the mushrooms.
Starting point is 01:16:06 Yeah. And I thought that I was already mushroomed out. So I'm going to shut up. No, what happened when you almost died? Oh, so. I will tell you that story. I know it by heart. Oh, my.
Starting point is 01:16:18 You told us that story, and then I had like a panic attack. Remember? Yes. Last time? Yes. Yeah, he told the story. We had to take a break. He's like. I attack. Remember last time? Yeah. He told the story. We had to take a break. He's like, I try to do.
Starting point is 01:16:27 Did I? That was wild. I tried to do what somebody having we're going through would appreciate. Yeah. How did we score? You did a hundred percent. I mean, that was over there once. You don't need to hear it again.
Starting point is 01:16:38 Don't ask what he's doing. Just provide them once in a while. Sneak in with a quick. Do you need a drink? Boom. Out. Yeah. You talked me through it it
Starting point is 01:16:45 was a trip but you like passed it on to me i feel like from your story and then like talked me through it and it was beautiful thing i really was happy you got on the better side of it yeah because i didn't want the night to end like because i know that feeling you know it's not a good it's not a fun like right now the feeling i have with the legs being wobbly i can make anything wobbly in this room right now. There's a point when you realize you have a power to not just make things wobbly. Wobble wobble. You can play, you can do tricks with your mind.
Starting point is 01:17:14 But back to what I was saying about you was nice to know you. Well we've been hinted for, we have two, we've been on for two hours. Shut the fuck up. No way. This is two hours? have two, we've been on for two hours. What the fuck? No way. This is two hours? Yeah. It seemed, it seemed like two hours. We should go, we should marathon this.
Starting point is 01:17:31 Can I tell you something? And I mean. Let's bring the cake in here. I think I've proven this. I think we should, well, maybe we should. Maybe we should. Everyone grab a fistful. Maybe we should go to close, Andy.
Starting point is 01:17:43 But slowly, because, but here's the thing um uh what do you think the mushrooms were great tonight yeah they're nice they seemed like you did you like them we were we we thought we lost you in the beginning oh i got nervous you got nervous you sat oh i came in how do you get out of yourself like when you get that mindset like this is bad this is bad i came in here. I laid down. The minute I laid down, I felt great. I just had to be laid.
Starting point is 01:18:10 And then when Steve came in, he started talking to me a little bit. I'm like, oh, you know, you start. I go, oh, I think I'm okay to go back out there. Yeah. And he also said some nice things about my grandmother story. I big shit up. You know, Steve, that was so nice what you said about how my grandmother changed your life with only one donation. I am having...
Starting point is 01:18:31 I am in honor of my mom, my grandmother, excuse me, in honor of my grandmother. People know my Venmo. I do go out and I buy dinners and food and things I want in her name. So thank you for donating. At ToddGlass.
Starting point is 01:18:45 ToddGlass.com. Guys, go out. Shove it up your ass. A zombie. Whatever Steve said. God damn. I want to close with what we're thankful for. Well, we already said it.
Starting point is 01:18:56 Now you're really just, you know, you're really asking too much. I fucking hate you. Hey, did you really? Is it? Let's talk. You want to talk like serious shit I've been trying to talk serious shit
Starting point is 01:19:07 For years Where we have this whatever reason Could be real Because we sit down So it could be half But the truth of the matter is just our friendship Even this little misunderstanding Whatever you want to call this
Starting point is 01:19:21 It's crazy that we're even friends Am I right? it doesn't am i right it doesn't really make sense because it just happened like i was like that guy looks fun last time i had that happen was with um oh uh henry phillips uh years ago i go that guy looks like he has a lot of fun every night on stage i'm gonna become his friend he might not even know the story i i did the next time i saw him i hey, I'm going to go over there and make friends with that guy. He's always having a good time. So then, now, then I've seen your shows on your, on, back then it would have been Instagram.
Starting point is 01:19:56 Your Instagram, right? Because about two years ago, you know, we talked about this last time. I was just like, I fucking like the way this guy performs. Like, just fucking, like just fucking like just just leaving nothing in them just shred them just fuck if you're not shredding them then don't waste my time sort of an attitude so whenever somebody performs like you always go it's either do that or go home hey bud come on i'm busy absolutely you go out there like your worst show that you have whatever you call it your worst show guess what it's good yeah your worst show all year boom if you could mathematically narrow it figure it out somehow
Starting point is 01:20:30 with your your worst show the one with that is great too it really is right now here's the problem i feel that way and um i tell my audiences that all the time i yell it at him audience is that all the time I yell it at him I do I because I because I I see what you do I see you go out there you you just shred them and you and then so it's nice to see it's fun to watch I mean it's what you know what more could you want like it's so it's like a revival you know and it's nice to see. It's fun to watch. I mean, it's, you know, what more could you want? Like, it's so, it's like a revival, you know, and it's fun to watch. It is really fun to watch. I think that's going back to what inspires you.
Starting point is 01:21:16 Like, are we supposed to give everything into life every day? Yeah, but that's not the way, you know, that's easily said, but that takes away everything we just said to you. Nice, because it makes it look like, well, everyone can just do it. It's that, it's a work, it's a labor of love. And some of it is just like, you know what i really do think it's the same thing like some people just have this you know they don't have everything i'll compare it to something that's not even in the entertainment world using a drill i can learn to use the drill but guess what i see other people with them i'm like they know how to use a drill you know what
Starting point is 01:21:41 i mean my sister-in-law picked up a drill And she goes like this I go oh no I can tell already You know how to use a fucking drill But I don't know how to use a drill So that you know it on paper Oh give everything you got It sounds good But then if that's not your thing Yeah
Starting point is 01:21:54 No but it doesn't have to be my thing It's like Dolov's thing is giving love And fucking taking care of everybody And being that fucking guy And he gives every ounce of himself to that Jill's like too. You give out all your love to all your friends and all your, you know, you do your comedy stuff. Steve does porn. I'm a porn director. I make pornography. I don't know what, what Daniel, what do you do? She's a writer and
Starting point is 01:22:19 producer. She runs it on. You're a writer and producer? Don't be embarrassed, Daniel She has Funded by her own money Her grandmother, after a little bit of money Has an SPCA For any abused animal, they come in, they get love Even if she just hugs them throughout the night They all get a shot, every one of them She was her idea That was me
Starting point is 01:22:42 I'm tired of the jokes. I told my grandmother no jokes. That's what's going to be on his headstone. No jokes. No more jokes. No more jokes. Todd Glass, no more jokes. No more jokes.
Starting point is 01:22:56 No more jokes. I'm never fed up. That should be the title of your next special. That's how you, yeah, no more jokes. That's why I want, that's good. Can I say, I had a positive thought the other day. I really do believe this. And you know what? I'm going to say it. I'm, oh, I had a positive thought the other day. I really do believe this. And you know what?
Starting point is 01:23:06 I'm going to say it. If I'm going to talk, I need to try to say something worthwhile. But repeating this over and over again, what my hope is. So at least I'll say something a little different. But my hope is that, and the reason I repeat this, that I have faith in youth is because, I have to quote Dr. Phil. You ever have someone you don't want to quote, but they did say it, so you got to quote them? It takes a lot of, you know, there you go, boy,
Starting point is 01:23:28 to erase you moron. You know, like me, when you say you moron to a kid, you moron, you moron. He says to a dad, you know how many attaboys? I mean, there's probably other more general, neutral terminology we could use now, but that doesn't have to be in the way of the story. The point is that there you go.
Starting point is 01:23:45 There you go. There you go. And he does a few and he goes, do you know how many it takes the attaboys to erase one moron? So that's why I always repeat that my faith is in kids because they hear the other way. If kids are as a whole, you know, Dr. Phil, this is Dr. Phil, just said the first
Starting point is 01:24:02 part about it takes a lot of attaboys to erase one, you idiot. So I feel like in society, kids get called idiot all the time. So I try to counter with an attaboy. I know I did it before. I know I did it the last time we were on the show. I know I did it on my show. I know.
Starting point is 01:24:16 I can never do it enough to get it into their head. Plus, it's fun to say. I'm not going to lie. To get it into their head. And so my faith in them, and I hope they get control, is because, you know, they start to vote and they make some changes. Because one of the things, hold on, it all led to something, me being in better health. Well, Todd's got a quote from Dr. Oz as well, right? What did you say?
Starting point is 01:24:40 I don't even know what he said. It just sounded like it was not good. The tender of it that was his Dr. Phil quote now go to Dr. Oz I had something it was Dr. Phil said that a boy oh so that's what no I know why I said it because we're talking about kids
Starting point is 01:24:58 today that I was giving them that a boy that I have hope in our near future you know I have hope and one of the reasons is I had a reason it was right over here i swear to god i mean i know it's not there but in my head oh here we want to talk about this shut up i love that that was great you didn't even ask me a question did you i didn't are you recording yeah we're so he asked if you're afraid of dying and that was your response what he asked if you were afraid he asked you if you're afraid of dying and that was the reason i the reason when you talk about anything i get excited is because i like to talk about anything other than this i'm bored so
Starting point is 01:25:37 i'm i'm biting anything there's there's nothing i really don't want to talk about especially dying i'm scared to die i lay in bed at night i just think about it and then i try to watch tick tock to get my mind occupied off other things but yeah dying i don't want to die and i want to deal with it you know in a mature way not just they go oh you know say things that aren't true but like yeah i don't want to die but then sometimes i don't think about it at all like most of the time most of the time I don't think about it, but now it's probably 50-50. Most of the time. No, no, let me give an honest number.
Starting point is 01:26:11 Let me give an honest number. I don't want to give a number because I'm embarrassed. That's not the way to change your number. But if you go, hold on, Todd, because people are going to evaluate you. Don't be shy. If that's the number, you need to say it. But also, if you don't want to alarm them i would say it's mostly at night and it's it's of course as the years grow without
Starting point is 01:26:32 pinpointing it to these two years yeah of course it gets more and more because your own mortality you start thinking about it more but it's only at night and um and then before you go to bed not every night but i try to uh you know sweat myself to death um no i try to go to bed? Not every night, but I try to, you know, sweat myself to death. Every night, I try to go to bed. My hand was shaking. The other day, honestly, I thought I couldn't remember something, and it really bothered me. Yeah. I was smoking pot, that's it, and then it happened.
Starting point is 01:26:59 And I go, I started to have my whole thing. You go to the doctor, you have your early stage we don't even need to get deep in because it's all it's not happening he's in the early stages of this what do i do i already had the bus picked out and then i thought todd you can't just people want you to have your dreams come true i go no bigger bus you know really milk them once you see once you're you know if you you why not take away i need a bigger bus i'm dying look at me two months i'm not to be able to perform. Then all the big dogs come out that have to donate money.
Starting point is 01:27:34 Oh, did you hear Adam Sandler and, you know, fucking... And there's a big Netflix documentary. They're filming you. I wanted Steve Farns to do a mockumentary that I tell him that I'm going to kill myself at the end of the documentary to make it sellable. I think it's a good idea. What? Everyone call the hotline. It's 1-800-TODD-GLASS.
Starting point is 01:27:55 But he, at the end of the documentary, I tell him I'm going to kill myself at the end of the documentary. He feels bad. He doesn't want me to kill myself. So now, but it's just a mockumentary. I love it. I just feel like the killing yourself thing might be seen. It might appear like we're making fun of people. That's why.
Starting point is 01:28:06 I didn't know much. That's why. You know what? Or dying of like something. Yeah. If it couldn't be done without doing, and by the way, we're not even going to do it, but morally, yes, I agree with you, Stephen. Just do it. I like that you care about that. At the end of your, at the end of the thing.
Starting point is 01:28:20 At the end of what thing? At the end of your bit, you just kill yourself. No, I wouldn't leave that. don't we're done oh my god i don't know the pain that i'd look don't i would try to do it you know what i would i always thought that it's desensitive but it's okay you can you can you can be you can make jokes about anything if just the type of jokes you make are the thing um people always go you can't make jokes about that yeah but some are going to be greater than others there should be consequences yeah there should be consequences and not only that but like what i'm saying with context that's all it's all funny because there's context that's why i try to give it context you can give it really quickly by just acknowledging the what what you're swimming in and
Starting point is 01:29:03 then you can go back to still doing the bit with some respect. What is it that we're doing it with? I don't remember, but I know on paper I'm right. Is comedy dead? No. It was the killing yourself. Oh, killing yourself. You can make jokes about it, but you try to give some respect to the seriousness of it.
Starting point is 01:29:19 But I think sometimes for people that I know that have died and some people that have killed themselves, I try to talk about them on the show and include them in bits. Because I always like with Harris Whittles, I'll be like, well, he didn't kill himself, but I'll be like, hey, Harris, I still have you in a bit. No one else gives a shit. Oh, I always go, Harris Whittles, Harris Whittles.
Starting point is 01:29:36 Two years later, I'm the only one playing your songs and your bits. And I put reverb in it, and I think it's working. Because I did get a letter from him to stop. I do do that. I do do bits. When someone will die, I will just mention their name. See, I still include you in bits because sometimes you're afraid of death. You should be respectful
Starting point is 01:29:56 of it, but you don't have to be scared of it. I used to be afraid on the show. I don't know. Explain the difference between respecting it and being scared of it. Respect is a silly word, but you know what I mean. Shoving some tenderness for it. Tenderness for the life and just how precious it is. And that's what makes it probably so funny and naughty to also want to talk about it
Starting point is 01:30:18 because we understand how precious it is. But anyway, so whenever I think of that moment, I always try. I would want to be in their bits once i'm dead please when i am dead please i have so much footage of me talking about more than norm mcdonald you think he's his is showing up on tiktok norm talking about death it's very very um it's very no norm talked about death a lot before this is before norm even knew that he was yeah dying this is norm he thought that was funny and um so he would always like look into the camera and and i'm not talking about i don't think i'm talking about anything that's wrong but steve's making me feel like i agree i'm saying yeah i agree i just want to hear the bits too because i'm like fuck it like
Starting point is 01:30:58 norm's so funny yeah yeah i'm not i'm not talking about norm at the end when he was talking to the camera and dealing i'm talking about like you know end when he was talking to the camera and dealing. I'm talking about, like, you know, 10 years ago when Norm wasn't, you know, didn't even. He would still, there's footage of him. Talking about. Talking about. After you. I'm gone.
Starting point is 01:31:17 Yes, yes, he's not. And I think that's fun to do, too. That's why when I saw that, I go, I think it's funny sometimes to understand. And, you know, it's the same level of level of like that grandfather that did it in the coffin and then he plays puts it in his coffin while he's alive and he says hey i'm in the coffin i'm in the coffin and they're all like i know what i'm talking about this is a tick tock video and it's very sad the family's sitting around this is what he wanted and he's saying help help me i mean now they know that he's dead i know this sounds crazy but guess what? It's exactly what happened.
Starting point is 01:31:46 But truth, this story is real. So it just shows these kids sitting around that, like, even in death, that it doesn't have to be so. You can have a sense of humor about it. It can be both. It can be tender and funny. Because that's what it was. It was tender, and it was really, really funny. And it was like, it just sort of hell i think that helped more than a maybe if maybe some fake thing that doesn't exist that you're not sure of you can
Starting point is 01:32:10 teach children great things people think they have to do in the name of religion but you can just do it like that right there just tender it was so tender you know maybe what we're thankful for is life you really on that we're going to close out this. I'm sorry for doing this to my friends. I'm going to give them a free Uber ride home. We're done. We want to hear my way. We want to close out with my way.
Starting point is 01:32:35 We want to close out with my way. Yes, yes, we want to close it out. We have cake. We got to do my way. We open with my way. We got to close it. There's pie. i'm not like oh i'm making you bake i mean because we've been in here a long time and you know you're by the way so people at home know as i'm saying all this i'm getting the
Starting point is 01:32:57 computer so i'm not playing games i'm just saying let's make it quick at least and then uh but you also know what it's like to have friends over and we stop and do a three-hour show, even though I told Steve we're going to do a podcast about an hour, I sold it to him. It's only 9 o'clock, by the way. What time? It's only 9 o'clock.
Starting point is 01:33:13 Right, so we have a night. We can go do more mushrooms. Yeah, we're going to do more. We can go light that fire, get it going out there. We can go out there. So sometimes it's just a different chill. And Andy, thank you. I know I did take over the podcast. would say every fucking better than last time or worse it's hard
Starting point is 01:33:29 in here at your house i didn't would you agree on that that's true honest you're out you're out of your element this is your area this is your layer you had a by the way your energy at your house your vibe perfect it was like it really not you You inspired me with that. It was really nice to walk into, I should tell you that. Steve sang something into his... Don't laugh with me. He just said, little sausages. I knew it. I knew he was racist.
Starting point is 01:33:57 Shiny little porno sausages. Is that what you really said, Steve? My real name's Steven Porno. I changed it to Pinehurst. Steve has a maiden name. I'm a good boy. What's your maiden name?
Starting point is 01:34:12 A maiden name? What is it? Kevin B used to go, it's my maiden name. It's Porno. If you could direct any porn, what would it be, Steve? Caligula. Yeah, that's a good one. I'd go a good one.
Starting point is 01:34:26 I'd go with that one. You said $50,000 to make a porn. Oh, $50,000 to make a porn. You picked the porn. I can't say it's got to be. It's whatever you want, but what would it be? I don't know. Let me think about it. Give me a minute.
Starting point is 01:34:43 I'm not hurting anybody. By the way, before when I was joking about you. By the way, before when I was saying, like, jokingly about you being in a porn, I think I was saying, like, yeah, because you're like, how much money? $40 million. Like, hey, I go do it for a lot. You know, we're talking amounts I don't want to win. I didn't say be in it. You didn't say be in it.
Starting point is 01:34:59 Directing it. Nobody knew, and I changed my name. What would the title of it be what would it i don't know no you have to write it you have to budget the whole thing they want you to hire the writer like old school like style and they're all like cheerleaders like hold on say that in the mic i would do like i would make it like old school like cool like 80s throwback it's like an 80s movie tapes yeah like vhs Like VHS. I would shoot it on like big hairspray.
Starting point is 01:35:27 Bush? Bush. Total full Bush. Everybody has full Bush. Totally. I would just make it into this fucking great hardcore porn that shoots in a locker room and a football field. It would be like artistic.
Starting point is 01:35:43 It would be super artistic. You would do it right. Br brought to you by A24. He sent me pictures from the set. Look Todd, I gelled her ass blue. Listen. Thanks, Todd, for telling me all about gels. They go in lights. Give them a hug. You know, I gotta be honest. When they first asked me to close the show
Starting point is 01:36:07 with a song, I was a little reluctant. But I remember one time, one time my grandmother said to me, I remember, here's a point, I literally saw a video. No, no, no. Try it again, boys.
Starting point is 01:36:29 It's a power move. Did you ever call you guys boys yes i call it now fresco i thought when pauline you didn't seem loving leaving to me i'm at a show hey boys i'm like boys another thing turned to my bye boys boys we're older than you um not your band i'm talking about guys in my band. I have one guy who's about 80. No, I don't. I made that up to get out of the other thing I said. All of his band members are older. Yeah, they're all older than you.
Starting point is 01:36:56 By the way, I would think that would be funny to do as a bit a long time ago was have the band all be so old and they always tell me, yeah, you can't even sell out of a comedy club you lose it like there's an aggression back and forth close the show glass i don't want to be with old guys they're they're they're dying and i don't need to be around them they're dying i need young people around me hold on what did we learn today we learned that uh well what did we learn danielle what we learned two more hours two more hours we learned today? Two more hours. Two more hours. We learned it's time for dessert, everybody. Get off my laptop for the last fucking time.
Starting point is 01:37:31 I don't like to be touched. Don't fucking touch me. Jesus Christ. Okay, take your little fucking summer sausage fingers off of me, you little fuck. Stop touching my leg! I'm gonna pour a bunch of water on my leg so you stop touching it!
Starting point is 01:37:52 My friend, I'll stay free. I'll stay my free. I've lived. Yeah, bring it. The life that's full. Stand up. I've lived Yeah, bring it. The life that's full
Starting point is 01:38:07 Stand up. Stand up. Stand up. Stop touching me! Yeah, come on! And more Much more than this Too much reverb
Starting point is 01:38:20 I'll own it. I know it's too much. I'll own it. I did it my way I just faded out Regrets, and not enough I wish I had more reverb And now I do
Starting point is 01:38:32 Just enough is good I did Now it's nervous Now I'm better sitting down This reverb is touching me! And solid through Without exemption I want to be close to the mic But not to the I plan The verb is touching me! And solid through without exemption. I want to be close to the mic, but not to the...
Starting point is 01:38:47 I plan each chartered course. Yeah, Todd. Each careful step along the byway. And more, much more than this. I'm at least giving 100%. I did it my way. Yes, there were times I got a second chance I'm sure you knew
Starting point is 01:39:12 When I bit off More than I could chew But through it all When there was doubt I ate it up I spit it out I faced it all, and I stood tall And did it my way
Starting point is 01:39:38 I've got another chance to do better than that It's coming up, so Steve, if I have any luck at all, here we go. You can fuck that up a little, but you can't fuck this up. Here you go. And now, as kids subside. Stand up, stand up, stand up. It's hard, don't it? I find it all so amusing.
Starting point is 01:40:02 Here we go. To think that I did all that. And may I say, this is the hard part. Here we go. This is the hard part. Not in a shy way. Oh no. Oh no, not me. I did it my way. Give it to him, Glass.
Starting point is 01:40:21 Your moment. Yeah. What has he got come on to say the things he truly feels and not the words of my knees the record shows i took the blows and did it my way. The record shows I took the blows. Ladies, you take it away. It's your turn. We did it! Mom!
