Starting point is 00:04:52 I rank pretty high. Well, yeah, your people are historically cheap, so. No, no, but it shows you who donated, and I was amongst the- You put your name, you didn't do anonymous? No, so that's why I was gonna ask you. I knew you do your name. No, no, let me ask you something!

Starting point is 00:05:04 You do your name every- Let me ask anonymous? No, so that's why I was gonna ask you. I knew you do your name. Let me ask you something! And this, ladies and gentlemen, is our relationship. I do anonymous every single... No, you don't! Yes, I do. Alright, so for an hour I was contemplating, I was at the point where it's like, do you want to be anonymous or not?

Starting point is 00:05:20 And I weighed the two, right? I don't think... What did you weigh? I didn't know if you liked me that two, right? I don't think, number one. What did you weigh? I'll tell you, I didn't know if he liked me that much. Right? So it's like, if I do anonymous, he doesn't like me that much, right? So what good is that gonna do? That is a Bobby Lee movie.

Starting point is 00:05:34 I know, but if I put my name, well, then maybe he'll like me more. The eyeball will, for sure. Just to spite you, I'm going to donate more. Really? I'll do 501. Don't you dare. And I'll write Bobby Lee 2.0.

Starting point is 00:05:49 Then I'm going to add another 20 bucks to mine. Fine, I'll keep going. All right. This is a competition. Let's do it. So you say, I'll be honest with you, you do anonymous. So of every person at the store that's ever, McCone knows, he's been with me. Every person I've ever donated to that is does

And you're going to have to come out and all the money and the proceeds are going to special Olympics. I'm doing that. Can I say something about special Olympics? This is how sad I am. Careful now. I'm going to be very careful. Right. I believe even if I claimed I had and I, and I tried to join the team, I wouldn't make it. Oh, they'd beat you.

Starting point is 00:06:45 I don't think I would make it. Imagine you get picked last on a kickball special. I know. Or the javelin throw. There's no way. No chance. Yeah, what do you think I could, like if I said. What event could you compete in?

Starting point is 00:06:57 Well, where do I go? Is there like a tryout? And would I have to do a voice? Don't do it. I'm not gonna do the voice. I'm asking. How about this? Can I just go, hey voice? Don't do it. I'm not going to do the voice. I'm asking. How about this?

Starting point is 00:07:24 They would crush you. Of course course because they have hidden strength they do Yeah, they do they really do they're so strong They do have to hit like they're like chimps have hidden strength. Have you ever you can see Do you do it do chimps have a hidden like, you know, whenever you watch it? I don't think it's hidden. It's planet plant with the chimp. You know, I mean you must not you know tangle but chimps Don't hide it. What do you mean? When you see a chimp, you can tell they're jacked. No, you can't.

Starting point is 00:07:48 Monkeys are jacked. Chimps have thin arms. Gorillas, gorillas are jacked. Give me chimp strength. Yeah, chimps don't look like they have strength. Chimps don't look like that, but they're probably not as strong as we think. Get a chimp, you guys, buy a chimp and get it in.

Starting point is 00:08:01 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You've seen the movies. Or the TV show, what, that TV show? What's that, The last documentary about the lady. Chimp crazy. I love that. Me too. Rip that woman's face off. I love when they rip the faces off of white people. It's always favorite part. It is always. Any chimp that when they rip the face out of white people is my fucking favorite thing. Two things you notice about this. Chimps will, oh, chimps have always ripped off white people faces because they're the only ones crazy enough to have one as a back. Right, right. And two, I've seen this a lot on TikTok recently.

Starting point is 00:08:26 Yeah. Chimps, oh, not chimps. I've seen this on TikTok recently, dog bites. This is like a thing, people like, getting dog bit on the face. Oh. It's always a white girl. I know.

Starting point is 00:08:38 Dogs don't like white women. Yeah. That's what it is. No, I know, my friend Jenna, you know Jenna? Do you know Jenna? Yeah. She has a scar here and she was bit by a pit bull. I'm telling you, dude.

Starting point is 00:08:46 Dogs, well, pit bulls are gentle creatures and they're great dogs. So I shouldn't even put, just say she got bit by a dog. She got, and by the way, she's a? She's Hispanic. She is? Yes. But she's half.

Starting point is 00:08:58 Half. Oh, she bit the right, white half. The white side. You bit the white side. You're right, because her right side is a little paler. A little bit white. Dude, you're, dude, you got, I learned something, honestly, dude.

Starting point is 00:09:08 See? You're so good, dude. See? You know, I just Googled today on ChatGBT, 29% of all men in their 50s are single. 29% of men in their 50s in the United States. In the United States, yeah. How do you Google on chachi-biti? I chachi-bited it, you know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:09:26 Are single. Yeah. What does that mean? Yes, approximately 29% of men in their 50s are single. According to a Bowling Green study. Wow. Why do you think that is? Divorce?

Starting point is 00:09:36 I don't know, but- Or you think this is like the new trend of men not getting married, not wanting to get married. I mean, these men don't even have a significant other, I don't think. What do you think? You think if you never get married, if you never get married.

Starting point is 00:09:53 Well, it could be because I'm 53 years old, I've never been married, I don't think I've even been close. What do you mean you've been close? You were very close, you lived- Well, I never asked her to get married. Yeah, but close meaning like you lived together, you shared a family together,

Starting point is 00:10:04 like you guys were very close. We were very close. And I think the next level would have been that. 100%. Yeah, but it just didn't get there. If you never get married, do you care? I'm pondering that right now of like, what are the benefits here? You know what the benefits are.

Starting point is 00:10:20 Having a partner there for your highs and for your lows. Because when you're high, you do need someone around to calm you down. Yeah, because in this relationship that I'm in now, I did, when I was at TSA, you know how I go crazy? Mm-hmm. I go ape shit crazy at TSA. This guy gets caught with

Starting point is 00:10:39 Auto blow. Auto blow pocket pussies for TSA. Yeah, and then when they pull it out of my fucking luggage, I go put it exactly where you found it. You know, because you know how sometimes when they open it up, they'll just like, they won't even fold things. Just throw it back in. I go exactly the way you found it.

Starting point is 00:10:56 And then the way they hold the auto blow, I don't like. They hold it like this. Well, how would you like them to hold it? Grip it. Grip it tight. Grip it, because it's tight. Grip it. Grip it tight. I mean, you know what I mean? They do this when they pull it out of my thing. This is what they do. And they do this face like this. And then I have to explain to them

Starting point is 00:11:20 what it is. What do you say when they say, what is this? Pocket pussy. Like you're foreign? No, I don't say that. I say, well, I use it when I masturbate. You're that honest. Well, how do you explain this? Okay, you're TSA, it's me. I'm TSA, right? All right, so I'm zip, zip.

So I have lotion that supplements baby oil. I imagine it's the same thing. But baby oil can probably be used. moisturizeristurizer, makeup remover. Yeah, it's a moisturizer. I'm sure people use it to remove sticker residue, glue, adhesive, loosen knots. Oh, there's a lot of practice. Maybe he was just using it for practicality around the house. Oh, he has a lot of...

He looked like Mickey Mouse from the beginning. It's Batman or nothing, dude. Yeah, that Batman shirt. By the way, my mom was like, you wore that all the time. Oh, I

Starting point is 00:15:51 loved Batman. Did you just obsessed? I had every little Batman thing. I repeated the movie all the time. Which one I would Batman one. That's the original. That's the symbol from the original from the mic and Michael Keaton. There is only one Batman. Have we talked about this before? We have and there is only one. Okay, okay. I'm Keaton there is only one Batman have we talked about this before we have and there is only one bad okay okay I'm not gonna get is only one Superman yes Christopher Reeves okay what are we talking about cuz that new kid looks good it doesn't matter it's just it's

Starting point is 00:16:15 you that movie looks good there's too much CGI for me to enjoy it I know do cuz practical shit back then they had to do it for real I know there's one dog shit CGI piece in Batman one or it's not it's like a cutaway to a fate when the Joker's falling from the rooftop off the gargoyle I said it looks on to the acid. No, no, no, no, no that he falls on the concrete He's got it in his pocket Did you like the second one with the Danny DeVito? The Tim Burton? They were both Tim Burton's.

Starting point is 00:16:46 Burton did both, yeah. That imagery, that image of him was burned into my brain as a kid and that sound. Wow. So he's the best joker. He was the best joker. Not even close. Not even close. He's not the best?

Starting point is 00:17:00 He is, I'm saying it's not even close. This guy and the character he brought to it and the amount of improv They let him do show that he actually like did the character. He wasn't just reading lines. Mmm No, I'm gonna rewatch it. I haven't seen in 25 years so good It's there's something about like when he's in the museum and they're ripping up the museum. Yeah, it's so beautiful And he's he's being funny. It's a comedy. He's making jokes. I have to make an argument too. I thought that not the movie, but Michelle Pfeiffer was the best Catwoman. So sexy.

Starting point is 00:17:31 She was so scary in it too, a little bit. Oh, she was so threatening. Threatening. And just very ominous and dark. Yeah, ominous and dark in that. Everyone in this movie was cast perfectly. This Batman. It was the best.

Starting point is 00:17:41 Wow. Think about the casting. The music. The music. Well, the music. The music is the most stunning best. Wow. It was just think about think about the casting. The music. Well the music. The music is the most stunning shit. Now not a lot of minorities though. That's the way we like it baby.

Starting point is 00:17:53 Batman is a bat. Batman's a bat. Oh that's true. That man's a bat. Yeah no I just I loved it so much. Mom sent me that photo today. She was like I'm thumbing through old pictures, she was getting emotional and reminiscing because it was her birthday.

Starting point is 00:18:07 By the way, when I was a kid and seeing the comic books, and I've said this a million times, but when I saw Michael Keaton's face through the mask, just his mouth, I was like, that's what the mouth looks like in my mind in the cartoons, how that would be as a human. What do you mean? I don't get one thing you just said.

Starting point is 00:18:26 Tell me again. His mouth, like that, that. That looked exactly like the cartoon's mouth to me. Ah. The jaw was incredible. Give me some other jaws of the other fucking Batman's, please. I mean, look.

Starting point is 00:18:38 Let me look at the other jaws. I know, because everyone's gonna get it. The younger generation obviously is gonna be like bullshit because, Cluny awful. That's George, I see George Clo obviously is gonna be like, bullshit, cause, true Clooney awful. That's George, I see George Clooney all day. It's hard to- That suit is terrible. It was one of the worst,

Starting point is 00:18:50 is it one of the worst? How do you get in on it in that? It looks like one solid piece. It's painted on. Yeah. Val was, Val was close. Just didn't do it. Oh, good chisel though.

Starting point is 00:19:00 But his lips were too, too female for me. But here's the- Like how bad, I wanna kiss that guy's lips. All right, that's true. Those are too sexy. Exactly, you're right. You can't have hot lips. Those lips are too hot, dude. And Chris O'Donnell was like, I mean,

Starting point is 00:19:12 this was like gay porn. This was gay porn. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So fast. This was gay porn. They play this on Loop down in West Hollywood. They play this on Batman. Like if I was like the penguin and that Batman was like, I'm Batman, I'd go. Right, I'd already go in for a kiss, I'm Batman. I'd go.

Starting point is 00:19:27 I'd already go in for a kiss, I think. You wanna share a fish? Yeah. So. I mean, look at how gay that pose is right there. That's still Val Kilmer? Why are they doing that? Can I make an argument about, and this being real, I'm not trying to be funny, is that I think the best,

Starting point is 00:19:40 you have to, so with that jawline, I'd be able to see who, just based on his jawline, who fucking, Bruce Wayne. Based on that, I'd be able to look at Bruce Wayne and go, they have the same jawline. Oh, you'd know right away. Do you understand what I'm saying? So that's why that's not good.

Starting point is 00:19:58 By the way, the funniest scene could have been is the moment he walked in somewhere as Batman, someone goes, Bruce? Right away. Exactly. You could have spoiled the whole, Exactly. So I don't mean, so give me a jawline where I wouldn't be able to tell between Bruce Wayne and Batman. Which one of them? Yeah. Well, probably Affleck.

Starting point is 00:20:13 Let me see Affleck's. Affleck looked like the most un-Batman Batman. Look, that looks, I couldn't, I don't, I wouldn't know if that was, um, Ben Affleck maybe. I don't know that that's Ben Affleck. It actually looks the least like him outside of the mask. But he looks sad too, which is I like. Well, cause he was thinking about his performance. Also the suit was so insane. It was so thick.

Starting point is 00:20:33 This is like the steroids era of baseball and they were like, we gotta juice this guy up. He was too big. Oh my God, dude. I watched, I went down the biggest Robert Pattinson, massive pass, massive pass. Mickey 17. Huh?

Starting point is 00:20:46 I know. What? No, I'm saying this this as Batman. Oh, absolutely not. You see the movie? No, I'm not interested. Did you see the movie? Look at his neck.

Starting point is 00:20:57 The movie is wearing a shirt with the collar up. Can you can you guys admit that movie is good? I don't care. No, please watch it. I cannot. You have to watch. It's so good. Aller up. Can you guys admit that movie is good? I don't care. No, please watch it. I cannot. You have to watch, it's so good. And who's that?

Starting point is 00:21:09 And who's that, his lesbian friend? No, that's Black Catwoman. Black woman? Yeah, it's Black woman, dude. All right, listen up, Batman. You better watch yourself, Batman. That's Black woman, dude. What are you doing here, Black woman?

Starting point is 00:21:22 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've been late on child support for months, Batman. Yeah. So Black Woman. Black Woman, yeah. So you never really saw that one. Where is Black Woman? She's late again.

I also like them Crooked Vultures. That album is so good. We've talked about you on the show Behind Your Back very often. Very often. Enough where our fans are like, who cares, shut up.

Starting point is 00:27:52 Sometimes what I do is, you know, if you go to iTunes and you go to Queens of the Stone Age, right? Sure. And they have that animatic, right? And it has him dancing in it. Yeah. Sometimes I'll just stare at him dancing. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:28:07 You're wearing a leather jacket, you're dancing. That's not creepy at all. Well, you know what it is. Cause you're a tall drink of water. Yeah. And you dancing is the cell. They did that on the boomerang. You're talking about like the loop.

Starting point is 00:28:17 Yeah, he'll do it. Yeah. And no matter what song is playing. Yeah, you're dancing. You're dancing in that thing. It matches it. No, that doesn't sound that cool to me. It doesn't? I mean, yes it does.

Starting point is 00:28:28 See? Do you choose that or no? No. Because Apple go, hey, look what we got. I can't watch. I can't watch a video or a thing like that. I can listen to music, but I can't watch. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:28:41 You can't watch yourself dance? No. Okay. Can you watch yourself dance? Well, I've seen it. Well, here's the thing. I know what do you want to see it though? That's the I mean, yeah is I've seen it, but I don't know if I want to see myself All right, like it's not not even that's not specifically dance. That's just like it's way and moves. Yeah Yeah, and but because I'm supposed to be funny. It's fine. But he's supposed to be sexy and cool.

Starting point is 00:29:06 Yeah, but his stances, it's going to be sexier. It's going to be sexier than your dancing hair. Yeah, yeah. There's nothing I can do that's going to dance as cool or even guitar moves. It's all in the hips. Yeah, it is. You know, that realization. When I was 13, I went to the eighth grade prom and all those boys were sort of holding up the wall. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:29:25 You know, and I wanted so bad to dance with Cherie Dunham. We love a Cherie Dunham. Yeah. Over there? That one's yours right there. I feel like they also love a Cherie. Yeah, yeah. You like Cherie Dunham, don't you? I love Cherie Dunham.

Starting point is 00:29:39 And then all the girls were dancing in the center of the thing and I said, fuck it, I'm going to do this. And I said, come on, I've tried to get someone to go with me. The girls were dancing and I just said, fuck it. And I just started shimming out there and I probably looked about as, you know, stupid dick in the name as you could look, right? You know, you committed, but I was, it was too late. Yeah, you're right. You can't go back.

Starting point is 00:30:06 You gotta go deeper. Yeah. So I went deep and Sheree and these girls, they're all dancing together. They turn around, they start laughing. But it was like a cute kind of giggle. And I kept, so I just added more to it, like, hey. I think even, I'm probably lying about this part, but who cares? Let's say I wasn't.

Starting point is 00:30:24 I'm pointing around. Yeah, yeah. who cares? Lie, lie, lie. Let's say I wasn't. Lie, lie, lie. I'm pointing around. Yeah, yeah. There's Germany, that's South America. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Antarctica, wait, that's wherever that is. Well, whatever science says it is. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:30:35 And I went out, but I realized their laughter was like, they started saying, come out here. Yes, yes, yes. And ever since then, I was always like I'm Goddamnit, I'm gonna I'm gonna dance. Who was your who's your Sheree Dunham mine? Yeah, who is yours? My Sheree Dunham was um, I can tell you well, I'm gonna say some what why you I got one on the tip of my no I got one Megan Stallard mine's a Megan to yours is Megan Briscoe Megan Stallard and I'll tell you she never did anything with me No, yeah, neither did mine, but I'll tell you what song came out what when I found out that she didn't like me

Starting point is 00:31:10 Nothing compared to you What a song I remember I had a fucking Honda Civic sure you did. Yeah, that makes sense. Why I'm Korean that math What well you didn't have a Hyundai and it didn't have it. They didn't have it. Yeah Yeah, I would have been in a Hyundai you would if they have it. Yeah, yeah. But I would have been in a Hyundai. You would have if they had it. Oh, you would have country committed? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You have to country commit.

Starting point is 00:31:33 You have to. As an Asian, they have to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's really weird if they don't. Yeah. So anyway, when Nothing Compared to You came out, I love sinking into sad music. Oh yeah.

Starting point is 00:31:44 I do too. Do you? Oh yeah. Yeah me. That's what it's for. Yes. Yeah. It's for especially it's for all that stuff when you you don't know how to say how you're feeling or you are unwilling to try. Yeah. And like nothing compares to you that song. Oh yeah. You gotta be kidding me with that song. Yeah. I don't know what some of it means like, Bubba. Yeah, Bubba. Who's Bubba? It's not Bubba. What is it?

Starting point is 00:32:07 This is Mama. Really? Yeah. It's not Bubba. Bubba would be like, Wait, wait, wait. It's gotta be Bubba. It's Mama. It's Mama.

Starting point is 00:32:18 So you think, wait, I just, Wait, wait, wait, wait. I need to ask a question. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I need to ask a question. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I need to ask a question. You think, you thought until now, it was all the flowers that you planted, Bubba. Now I want an answer.

Starting point is 00:32:35 That's what I thought it was. Oh my God. Because you thought Bubba was just some hillbilly. All the flowers that you planted, Bubba. That's what I thought it was. And in my mind always I'm like, Bubba must have been the boyfriend of the guy that her feeling No, no, that's the gardener

Starting point is 00:32:48 Bubba the gardener Planted all the flowers in the overalls. Oh, right your flowers are good Oh, you've never done that where you thought the lyric was one thing and now I do it all the time. Thank you I'm just focusing on you. Yeah, we're fucking with you. All right. Thank you Josh for correcting me. I I'm just focusing on you right now. Yeah, we're fucking with you. All right, thank you. Josh corrected me. It's mama.

Starting point is 00:33:06 I like, but my- I think it was very, it's very cute that you thought that it was Bubba. Thank you. Because mama would have been a logical jump. Easy. But you're like, fuck all that shit. I'm going to Bubba's house.

Starting point is 00:33:16 Bubba's house, baby. Well, she's Irish. I thought Bubba was a term. In Ireland? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But- Hey there, Bubba. Have a drink with me, Bubba.

Starting point is 00:33:26 I'm Irish and I can tell you that Bubba's not a thing. It says by Sinead O'Connor but it's not, it's written by Prince. It's by Prince, yes. What is that? Why is it- That's some Wikipedia shit right there. That's how you know not to trust whatever the fuck. Maybe it is Bubba.

Starting point is 00:33:42 See, it is Bubba. These lyrics are wrong. Yeah, that's right. I knew that Prince wrote it. You did? Yeah, maybe it is see it is Bubba these lyrics are wrong yeah oh yeah that's right I knew that Prince wrote it you did yeah maybe it was like an urban thing okay what's up Bubba yeah I like music we sung a song before you came in yeah I didn't even get to talk about the the song all right but it's called put me down easy ooh and it's not is it about a dog sing it sing it to see if Josh knows what it is. That's insane. Am I gonna FUCKING SING IN FRONT OF HIM?

Starting point is 00:34:07 No, SING IT! IN FRONT OF HIM?! YES! SING IT! Guys, don't fight over me. I'll go to Chris. Fuck your health. But look it up. This is what's fascinating about it, because when I first heard the song, I was- it's a great song. It's beautiful.

Starting point is 00:34:17 But I like soul songs that sound happy, but are sad. Yeah. That's one of my favorite things. So the music and the melody's kinda uplifting, but then you read the words and you go. And it's dark as fuck. I love it. So this song was written by Elsie Cook, none other than Sam Cook's brother. Don't make it rougher and don't make me suffer. Put me down easy. Put me down easy. That's hard. Such a beautiful, I said the terminology. You know, that's begging for mercy. And honestly, things like mercy, those topics are the things I love the most to sing about.

Starting point is 00:34:48 Yeah. Because they're so tragic, fragile. Oof. So, you know. And real though, they're so real. Yeah, everyone got. When you hear that, everyone, it's a universal feeling of like,

Starting point is 00:34:58 when you're gonna get broken up with or someone's gonna go away in your life, you, like that feeling you know that's coming, ah, oh my God. Everyone's felt that. Yeah. I care who you are. Where are you from? What you've done. And so yes, this is the kind of shit I'll cry to if I really want to get hit. Yeah. I like about mercy too. You are your mercy. I love mercy too. Yeah. Let me ask you, is it hard to write lyrics? No, I mean, no, because I mean, imagine all the albums. Hold on one second. Right.

Starting point is 00:35:23 Did everyone just have a flashback to Chris Farley talking to Paul McCartney? When you write songs, is it songs that you write when you write them? Are they songs? That's what you just said. No, that was a legit. I think it was a legit. Nah, fuck him. You saw.

Starting point is 00:35:37 You got up. Get a real question. I know what I'm saying. Is it hard to write jokes? Yes. That's an annoying question. Oh, all right. No, but I, I, the reason I actually like this question.

Starting point is 00:35:47 Don't do this. Don't give a talk. Can I rephrase it? No, you don't need to. Okay. Thank you, Josh. Go ahead. I think.

Starting point is 00:35:55 Fuck you, dude. You're humiliating me. I'm a fan. You're okay? Yeah. All right. All right. I think it is extremely difficult sometimes.

Starting point is 00:36:03 Thank you. I find it challenging because I would like to say something, especially as the years go on, I really want to say something vulnerable in sort of in words that are kind of juicy and colorful and economical. Like I wanted to, and some things are actually hard. Sometimes you write words or you write jokes

Starting point is 00:36:19 that you're like, ah, can I actually say this? We do that. We say it, we just will say it, unfortunately. Yeah do that, we say it. A lot, yeah. We just will say it, unfortunately. Yeah, unfortunately, yeah. It comes out. All the fucking time, you know? Yeah. I'm, cause I wanna say something

Starting point is 00:36:31 and I actually want someone to, I want a certain group of people to be annoyed or upset by what I've said. Oh yeah. All right. In the manner in which you say it, you know? Yeah. Well, how about this?

Starting point is 00:36:42 Tell me, it was a good question, I'm just teasing, I love you so much. That's okay, I let it go. Okay, this about this? Tell me, it was a good question. I'm just teasing. I love you. What's okay. I let it go. Okay. This is artist self-stroke stuff, but I do want to know in your opinion, whether or not it was like universally received in that way, what's the song that you wrote that you're

Starting point is 00:36:56 like, that's the best song I've ever written? Where you're like, it's no doubt. And people, like there's jokes. We talk about this. Sometimes comics will write a joke and it's not our best joke to them. Right. But I'm like, that's so, I love that joke. And they may write a joke and it's not our best joke to them. Right. But I'm like, that's so, I love that joke. And they may think another thing is funnier.

Starting point is 00:37:09 Well, I think you get familiar with something. And so, I mean, it's not exactly the answer to what you're saying, but our biggest song, No One Knows, I don't get sick of playing that ever. I love that song. I find that annoying when when people Say well, we're not gonna play this anymore. I think it's somehow I Love our audience, even though I hate groups of people

Starting point is 00:37:42 Yeah, you know I get it we get it we can't fucking stand these guys in the. I'm just highly suspect of not just them, but yes, them. But I'm highly suspect of groups of people. Yeah, they're dangerous. It feels like the mob. And I know that we're asking for groups of individuals, which doesn't make any sense. I would like a bunch of,

Starting point is 00:38:02 but I would like a few people from each clique. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like we just played in Madison. Do you ever go to Madison to do shows? Love. Madison, Wisconsin. Fucking love. It's one of the best cities ever. It's one of the best cities in America, hands down.

Starting point is 00:38:15 And our audience is so bananas. It was like a grandpa, the grandson, fucking goth girls. Fucking love goth girls. And then, you know, like tweakers, bikers, hippies, you know, like, you know, college kids. It was such a, like a hometown buffet. Yeah. Oh wow. You know? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:38:37 And I just thought, oh my God, this is the type of group I like. Perfect. It's like a picking of all of the people. So I have a couple of dumb questions I can ask before I forget. No, no, no. For Josh, I have a couple of questions, if I may. Please, please, please. Okay. If I may, they're dumb questions. Very cute. It's gonna be better than the writing one. The questions. It was an intro question. Right. So, um, so, um, when you, all right. So when I come on. I mean, I wanna be cool, dude.

Starting point is 00:39:05 Yeah, you're doing it. So. You're doing great. When you're playing Austin City Limits with them cricket vultures. Yeah. And you're with Grohl and, what's Bonham? Is that his last name?

Starting point is 00:39:14 From Led Zeppelin? John Paul Jones. Paul Jones, I mean, that's what it is. John Bonham? Yeah, John Paul Jones. John Paul Jones, right? You're on stage, right? In your head, do you know who you're on stage? I mean, do you get nervous around John Paul Jones?

Starting point is 00:39:28 He's a legend. It's funny because, you know, you're sitting on the bus and Dave's telling a story and then you realize it's about Nirvana and then Jones is telling a story and you realize it's about Led Zeppelin. That's the only other band he's been in. Wow.

Starting point is 00:39:46 That's insane. It's insane. And then it sort of comes to me and I was like, well, I've been arrested. In fact, on the second day of the Them Crooked Vultures session, it was the first day of recording, you know, I didn't know Jones well. And this is how we got very close was, I was driving home in Burbank, my studio was in Burbank at the time. And the Burbank police call themselves the Cowboys. They do? Which is kind of gay, but whatever. So gay? So gay. You're under arrest.

Starting point is 00:40:27 Well, he told me in the back of the squawk, where he's like, we call ourselves the Cowboys. And I just told him, I was like, that's the gayest thing I've ever heard. Yeah. And I don't care, but I'm just saying, guess what it is, I don't care. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:40:42 Any hootles. I'm driving home and I had a Magnum, remember the Dodge Magnum that looked like a wagon? Such a fucking great car. Anyways, so I'm driving home and I get pulled over because I guess I had put the wrong- Sticker on the- Registration, I had to switch the registration.

Starting point is 00:40:59 So I had two cars. And he starts getting me out and cuffing me. For illegal registration? He's like, I'm gonna, at the time I didn't know that when someone says, I'm gonna detain you for my safety, that I could have been, I could have said, there's no fucking way. Yeah, fuck you, I didn't do anything.

Starting point is 00:41:19 And I had, you know, I had some Vicodin on me, but I had a script, I had a back injury, but they were just tucked in my coin pocket. And so he took me to jail. And I was like, you're making a mistake here. You know, you're making a mistake. And he's like, no, I'm not.

Starting point is 00:41:34 We call ourselves the Cowboys. And that's when I, that's when I made it worse, right? What would you do? I just told him that was the gay thing. You said it was super gay. Okay, right, right. And then. And I was like, why do I care what you call yourselves?

Starting point is 00:41:46 He's like, wait till you see us ride horses and suck each other's dicks. And then he was like, as he was driving, I said, he said, don't I know you from somewhere? And I was like, I don't know what you know. You know? No, that's what you drop who you are. I know, but that makes me feel like shit.

Starting point is 00:42:03 I just can't do stuff like that. That's not my way. Wait, do you think I would say something who you are? I know, but that makes me feel like shit. I just can't do stuff like that. That's not my way. Wait, do you think I would say something? Would you? No, wait, wait. Would you? Yeah, yeah. Do you think I would say something?

Starting point is 00:42:12 Would you say? The first words out of his mouth. I'm a comedian. It's me, it's Bobby Lee. I'm a, that's what it is, right away. Within second, he does. Would you? Boys, boys.

Starting point is 00:42:24 You know what I would? Look at the window, look at the window. You know you will. Oh, you know what I is right away. Within second he does. Would you? Boys, boys. You know what I would- Look at the window. Look at the window. You know you would. Oh, you know what I've done? Out the window. Oh, you know what I've done?

Starting point is 00:42:32 And I'm gonna tell you what I've done, Josh. Okay? I don't give a fuck, okay? Like for instance, if I don't have my ID, right, at an airport, I'll just say Google me. He does that. He does that often. Does it work?

Starting point is 00:42:41 Yeah. Oh, yeah, it does. Okay, well, that works. Yeah, why couldn't you have done that? Just Google my name. I just, I'd rather go to jail. To prison. I'd rather go to jail. That's what I'm saying.

Starting point is 00:42:50 That's what I'm saying. Why? Your pride? Because he has dignity. Jail. That's not dignity? That's not dignity. That's dumb.

Starting point is 00:42:56 But then he says to me, he goes, don't I recognize you from somewhere else? Yeah. I don't know what you know. You know? Such a combative statement. Yeah, yeah. And he said, do you play music?

Starting point is 00:43:06 And I said, yeah. And he was like, why didn't you tell me? And I was like, because I didn't know you were a fucking asshole. You know, that would like, I'm already arrested. Right, right, what are you gonna do? Right, double arrest. But he still took you to prison?

Starting point is 00:43:17 Oh yeah. Oh my God. The night in Burbank. And there was this like heavy set Mexican guy which was kind of bullying these other people around. He wanted to lay down on the, on the, he wants to lay down and everyone else to stand up. So I just sat down on the,

Starting point is 00:43:35 and he moved this kind of little scrawny kid that was clearly a tweaker. Yeah. Trust me. I know. And uh, he And so, and I said, why don't you just chill out, you know? And then he got up and he was a pretty heavy sat dude. And he said some shit to me. So I just said, what are you going to do? Like hit me with your fat. I don't know what you're going to. Oh my God, Josh, what the fuck?

Starting point is 00:44:03 And then escalate, escalate, escalate. Why? But he wasn't because he was not scary. Oh my god Josh what the fuck and then escalate escalate But he wasn't cuz he was not scary. Okay, just hungry. Yeah, you're fucking asshole. Okay, okay He was bullying this kid. I was like let him sit down, but it's your size There's not a bad five four you can't do that. You're the guy he was bullying. He's talking. Oh, yeah Yeah, yeah, he was get up and you were like no problem. Yeah, that's okay And so he well, I would let that happen I mean, I'm not you Yeah, he was like, get up. And you were like, no problem. Yeah, that's okay, go ahead. And so he just- Well, I would not have let that happen. I mean, I'm not a tough guy, but I was just like, this is ridiculous.

Starting point is 00:44:29 And we're in here, what are you gonna do? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Okay. And then this window opens and this really gnarly looking gal, she was like, I will mace both of you if you move. And I was like, I believe you. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:44:46 Yeah. Like I don't not believe you right now. I know you're saying stuff and I hear this stuff and I'm interested in what you're saying. And so I just didn't move. And he looked at me and he was like, I'm gonna fall and he just did it under his breath. And so I just blew him a kiss and everyone got to sit down.

Starting point is 00:45:05 Oh my God. But it was, and you know, we ate bologna sandwiches and talked about times. It was fine, it all worked out. When was this? This was the first night of the Vultures recording session. So then I go to the recording session the next day and I've been up all night.

I like it, fuck the cowboys, I will be on time. Well that's the, you know, I just, I don't know, that's me. So I go there and Joan says, what happened? And I said, I just got out of jail. And he goes, oh, like this. Fletching his pearls.

Starting point is 00:45:52 And he goes, oh, and I thought he was gonna be a little disgusted. He's like, oh, let me make some tea, tell me all about it. I realized that he made me tea. I realized he's kind of a goth dude himself. He's like a little bit of a dark lord. Wow. And the wilder I got, the more he was like, wow.

Starting point is 00:49:48 Am I the weird one? No, I. Am I the weird, be honest, am I the weird one? To each his own. Okay, thank you. I think to each his own. I just, I just never planned to be doing this this long and I feel like someone's gonna ring my doorbell and say,

Starting point is 00:50:03 yeah, the music's done, it's over. And I would be like, I would say, that was a really long time though. And then I would grab my shit and I would get out of there. We talk about, every day I say, are we done yet? Or you know what sometimes I'll say? I go, I think I'm done and I kind of look at my assets and go, where can I go? This is about showing your assets again.

Starting point is 00:50:29 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's about my asshole. Dude, I do not want to see your assets. No, no, you'll never see it. One day you will. No, I'm gonna- When we get closer, you will. I'm gonna see it.

Starting point is 00:50:36 I think you will. I want to see it. Yeah, yeah. I don't want to see it now. Because you will if you want to. No, I want it prepped. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want to be too judgy, but I want it prepped.

Starting point is 00:50:44 Should we get it over with and just do it now? Yeah. Okay. We'll just do it now so we get it prepped. I don't want to be too judgy, but I want it prepped. Should we get it over with and just do it now? Yeah. Okay. We'll just do it now. So we get it over with. Is it kind of prepped? What? Is it kind of prepped? It's not prepped. It's a little dirty, but it's okay. Hold on. Let me get my glasses.

Starting point is 00:50:55 Hold on. Let him put on his glasses. Jesus. Yeah, yeah. So we got... He didn't even get to put on his glasses. I'm no doctor. I'm no doctor, but also I'm not a doctor. So my other question is this. Nurse, you're right. Maybe if I was arrested, I shouldn't bring up my name.

Starting point is 00:51:12 No, you will. I know you would in a heartbeat, but that's okay. And if you're jailed, don't show your asshole. Don't do that. Okay, all right, don't do that. Just eat the bologna sandwich. Okay, okay. Just eat the bologna sandwich.

Starting point is 00:51:22 Let's get a few things straight. Yeah, just eat it and be quiet. My second question would be. Eat it and be quiet is a great. Eat it and be quiet. What a great thing to say in a general sense. Yeah, eat it, be quiet. My second question would be,

Starting point is 00:51:35 because I've been following you for a very long time. I saw you outside my house. Yeah. And I noticed over the years, you've always been around comedy, because I remember back in the day, I used to see you at Largo. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:51:48 You mean on Monday nights and stuff, right? So you always surround yourself with comedy. You know what I mean? I see you at the store, I see you at clubs and stuff. What is it about comedy that you're like, you're a huge fan, obviously. Yeah, you know, when I was nine, in that year which I was nine, I saw two separate shows

Starting point is 00:52:07 of the desert and I saw my old man with my grandparents. No one ever swore in my family around each other. And my dad was like, George Carlin is funny, right? And I was like, I don't know, I'm nine. I think it's rhetorical. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I got this giant yellow, looked like I won a golf tournament, men's jacket that they loaned to you. So here I was like a small child in an adult man's world.

Starting point is 00:52:37 And we had great seats, like third row. Wow. Wow. You know, and it was tables back then. And I saw Fred Travellina, and it was tables back then. And I saw Fred Travellina, or was it Fred Travellina, or Judy Tanuta. Judy Tanuta. Judy Tanuta. Open for George Carlin.

Starting point is 00:52:51 Wow. Wow. And it changed my life because I realized all in this moment that talking about things that hurt and are difficult and laughing about it, that gallows humor. And you know, George is, I don't have to tell you anything, but his use of language like, you know, get on the plane Mr. Carlin, fuck you, I'm getting in the plane, leave that for the daredevils.

Starting point is 00:53:14 Yeah. That twisting of words and using them correctly. Yeah. And the notion of being a good communicator. We're talking, it's important, it's so hard to be understood and to understand someone in this life. It's so fleeting.

Starting point is 00:53:27 And so being a good communicator and being good with your words really meant something to me from that moment forward, you know? And also I saw Rodney Dangerfield with Fred Travolina opening and Ronnie got booed off stage. Now I had never, I didn't know that that was possible, that the crowd could be like, fuck this. That's enough of this. And chase you off stage at your fucking show.

Starting point is 00:53:55 But he was doing the same stuff, which I had grown up with watching Carson and you know. And- When that was happening, how did you feel when he was being booed off? I was scared. I was scared because I was little and I thought, oh my that was happening, how did you feel when he was being boot off? I was scared. Yeah, scared because I was little and I thought, oh my god, something's gonna happen. What's what does it mean? What does this mean? And I think that's why I've always had a very attack style with the audience. It's softened over the years, but I grew up on Iggy Pop and all this stuff

Starting point is 00:54:21 where concerts were scary. You go to punk rock shows, they're scary. That's that mob thing you were talking about though. It is very much like, I just did a show last night and it's a lot, it was a lot of people. 19,000. It wasn't my show. 19,000. 19,000 people.

Starting point is 00:54:37 Well, Shane Gillis, shout out to Shane, not me. But I popped up on his show, but you do have a moment. You're prepared, we've been doing it for a long time. Was that in town? No, it was in San Jose. But you feel, you're like prepared for it, you're excited to do your shit, but there is a second that you get on stage

Starting point is 00:54:54 and see all those people and you're like. Yeah, they can turn on you. Yeah. If you're not, you have to be on your toes leaning into them. Yes. They have to be on their heels. So I got booed off a stage in front of 16, 17,000 people.

Starting point is 00:55:07 Where? In San Jose. Not during your show last night, but. Yeah. What are the chances? I don't remember that at all. Like, why is that even a real thing? It was probably like 15 years ago.

Starting point is 00:55:18 It was Chappelle. Big Asian community in San Jose. What? Big Asian community there, too. Yeah, but this show was called the Doghouse Comedy Jam. That's all Asians. No, and it was Chappelle, Cat Williams. It was a big Asian community there too. Yeah, but this show was called the Dog House Comedy Jam. That's all Asians. And it was Chappelle, Kat Williams. It was a food thing?

Starting point is 00:55:29 Carlos Mencia. And I, so Leslie Jones when she was young was before me. And she jumped off the stage and she dry humped of like a 16 year old white kid in the audience. That's your bit. What? Yeah. Not with her butthole. And you can hear the

Starting point is 00:55:49 walls shaking. Oh, she's crushing. She was crushing that hard. Yeah. Yeah. And I looked at when someone's hard to follow. Yeah. Yeah. I looked at Jeff Wills, you know, me and the guy, you know, at Live Nation. Yeah. And I go, you think it's going to go well for me? Because I don't think so. Right. Right. And he goes, you'll be fine. Two minutes in, they just booed me off stage. I, and then I started doing gibberish. I started going, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, right, and then I literally just turned around,

Starting point is 00:56:15 I started crying. Like starting a Honda. Yeah. Yeah. And I walked off stage and still to this day, I don't know what I did wrong. You didn't do anything. I think it was just doomed from the beginning.

Starting point is 00:56:31 Well, some things can only get so high and then they must drop off the cliff. That's right. We played, what's it called? Neil Young had this thing, Bridge School benefit, and the request is everyone must play acoustic. That's fine. Yeah. Happy with that. It's fine. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:56:45 Happy with that. It's two nights in a row. Play the first night, killed it, had a blast. And then the second night, the lineup changed and the person playing in front of us directly asked for that slot because they wanted to play and leave, but they wanted it to be dark. They wanted it to be nighttime. Ah. Right?

Starting point is 00:57:06 Can you name this person? The person was Tom fucking Waits. Wow. So, and I said, okay, that sucks. Yeah. And I love it when people try to reassure you that don't know what they're talking about. Oh, it's gonna be fine, man.

Starting point is 00:57:23 Oh yeah, yeah. That sounds like you on the... Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's going on? And I was like, I foolishly watched him play as well. And he's going, he starts a song, and then he'll be like, you know, I'm only, he'd stop. I'm only doing this because I owe Neil money, you know?

Starting point is 00:57:41 It's like a comedy routine, a show, vaudeville, all wrapped up into one fucking enormous dill don't. Because I don't want to follow that. Yeah. How long did you have to do it for, the set? Too long. It was probably like 40 minutes, but I think we got- Holy crap.

Starting point is 00:58:02 You closed it? We kept, no, we were, you know, there was, we were like second from the top or third from the top or something. And after us was Crosby, Steele's, Nash and young, or it was like, we were the, the cream filling and a terrible cream filling in a double stuff from hell.

Starting point is 00:58:21 That was just not, yeah. What am I supposed to do? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I just, you know, we're double stuff from hell that was just not, what am I supposed to do? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I just, you know. So even you guys have bad nights. Plus we're playing deep cuts.

Starting point is 00:58:30 Oh, right. I gotta play something different every night. I can't fucking, I can't, I can't, I'll fucking lose it. And so we can't play what killed the night before. Because that's the night, in case there's repeat, there could be five repeat people, and I'm like, well, they need to see something else. Yeah, and I actually, I love insurmountable odds.

Starting point is 00:58:51 So that's why we're not really a metal band, we're not really an alternative band, but I'll play anywhere, especially if I'm not supposed to be there. Even more titillating to be where you're not supposed to be. A little bit. Yeah, or doing something, like last night, Chris O'Connor, my boy, he knows that when he does this joke,

Starting point is 00:59:15 and I'm not doing, I don't wanna do somebody else a joke, but he knows when he does it, they're gonna be pissed off because at the core of it, he says, it's very brilliantly written, but he says in some way or another that like it's a fuck Trump, a little bit of a fuck Trump thing, but he knows that that audience is going to boo him. Right. And 19,000 people did, but he's smiling and it's fucking unreal. Wow. It was the funniest. I think it's powerful. Oh, it was so rad because

Starting point is 00:59:43 he's cracking up. He's laughing audibly as they're booing. And then it's powerful. Oh, it was so rad. Yeah, because he's cracking up. He's laughing audibly as they're booing. And then it in turn made them laugh after the boo. Right, because he's enjoying it. No, it was perfect. Wow. I told him, I was like, dude, that's the fucking coolest shit. Cause he was like, yeah, you're going to be mad at this. And then he goes into it and I'm thinking, oh, he's just going to tell this, you know, tell this joke, this good joke. But then when he starts taking starts taking the shots because he just wants that he wants to feel the thing Yeah, right. I think this is why I'm to your original question I think this is why I love comedy so much and I I look at it as it's it's really it's it's the you know

Starting point is 01:00:19 The gallows humor about the philosophy and difficulties of life, right? And and so I See this value. I love the sort of comedy renaissance that's been happening for all you guys have done so well, because I think it's important that this is big and is a feature and it's such a different night out too, just going out to something like that. I like to be a fan of things.

Starting point is 01:00:43 I like to love the things I love and just enjoy them. And I always would go to Largo, because I'd be the only musician doing benefits with a bunch of comedians. Wow, yeah. Because I don't take myself that seriously. I take what I do seriously, but that means I don't need to take myself seriously.

Starting point is 01:01:03 And so I just think, and I think a lot of, so I've known a lot of comedians for a lot of years. And I think there's a little overlap. I know a bunch of comedians that wanna be musicians. Oh my God. Yeah, some of them are good. Well, how about this? Every, this is a bad theory,

Starting point is 01:01:20 I'm not gonna articulate it well, but every comic wishes they were a rock star, and every rock star kind of has a little comic in them. It's like you have this weird crossover, and you see it when you go to Largo, because a lot of times there's pairing with comic musicians. I've been in bands, you've never been in a band.

Starting point is 01:01:35 I played with friends, but we were never a band. When I played when we were young, but we were so bad, we were like, we can't show anybody this. I'm not kidding, we literally, shout out Adam Nicholas, we can't show anybody this. I'm not kidding. We literally, shout out Adam Nicholas. We should go to his mom's house and I was like, we were so fucking bad.

Starting point is 01:01:51 We just didn't care because we weren't doing, we didn't wanna make music because we were gonna go show it to someone. But isn't that the key though? I think music is interesting because it's a bit like bowling. Like you don't need to be good to enjoy it. Yeah, just doing it.

Starting point is 01:02:06 It was just fun. We thought it was fun, but we were very self-aware because my mom sometimes would be like, are you guys still practicing? I was like, yeah, we're jamming. That's because she wanted you to stop. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was very honest.

Starting point is 01:02:21 Did you stop practicing? What if we didn't have drums here anymore? My dad was actually very rad. They were both rad about it, but my dad didn't give a fuck. He was like, whatever, dude, fucking smack the shit out. He couldn't care less. I think when you're doing that, you're not doing something else. Well, we weren't doing drugs and getting in trouble.

Starting point is 01:02:37 Yeah. Well, we were doing drugs and playing music, but we weren't getting arrested. I think because I was doing all those things until a couple years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That it is certainly like a healthy exit strategy. And honestly, you know, in my family, it's like when something difficult will happen, it would be like, we'll cry and be upset later, but we don't have time for that now. There's things to do. And I respect that. And I appreciate that.

Starting point is 01:03:05 That's Irish, by the way, that's Irish in a nutshell. We'll cry about that when everybody's dead and gone. Yeah, first we've got to bury this body. There's no time for that shit. There's no time to cry. And so I turn out the lights so everyone can conspire, make out, fuck, party, hang, do whatever. And because I think escapism is a devalued commodity.

Starting point is 01:03:26 So these things where they're under the guise of escapism, but you're really getting these lyrics that are vulnerable and real, or you're getting comedy that's about something real that you should be thinking about. This is the way to the spoonful of sugar that makes the medicine go down to me. And so I think escapism should be elevated. Yeah. I like that. That escapism is pretty powerful. I mean, you say it so profoundly, but like I do love

Starting point is 01:03:55 the biggest pet peeve for me. I mean, we talk about it as when there's light in the room, I really get a little shaky. Yeah. And so like I just shot a special and one of the biggest things that we had to deal with was the lighting. TV lighting. It was lighting and so. But is it the same with the 19,000? Cause it's the spots of the thing.

Starting point is 01:04:13 Oh, we pitched, I mean, again, that's Shane's show. So like his lighting package was whatever he wanted, but it's, it's what I would have done too. It's like, it was, it was, are you okay? No, you guys, you know, I've never done, I'm doing a special too. Why have you not? This is his first one. My first I've never done, I'm doing a special too. Why have you not? This is his first one.

Starting point is 01:04:26 My first one. Why? Because I'm doing it now. Okay. I'm doing it now. Yeah, okay, that's nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Josh, I'm doing it now. It was just a why.

Starting point is 01:04:33 Yeah, it's called Finally. I didn't mean to say. My special's gonna be called Finally. Yeah, that makes sense. Great name. I can't believe you're announcing it. So I'm now, because I'm now, Textures and Lighting. There goes my album title.

Starting point is 01:04:43 That's it. You know, I shouldn't have fucking told you Yeah, okay, it's a baby names So, um, so I'm learning now about what I want. I think I want it dark But I also want the audience around me you want to be surrounded I kind of want them there sure, you know me where I'm kind of in a theater. Can you do that? Yeah, of course you can do whatever you set up in the middle. You know build I mean? Where I'm kind of, in a theater, can you do that? Yeah, of course, you can do whatever you want. You can set up in the middle. They'll build it.

Starting point is 01:05:06 There's places you can. Yeah, yeah, where I can just have them stacked around me as well. Yeah. Well, but there's also some of these specials like Maria Bamford, some of her stuff where it's so small. Oh yeah. Or Sarah's done something at Largo that was really tiny too.

Starting point is 01:05:20 Maria did her parents' house one time. I love her. I mean, it was in her mom's living room. I fucking love her.' house one time. I mean, it was in her mom's living room. I fucking love her. I just, I'm mentally ill as on display in such a beautiful way. And the voices. Yeah, she's incredible.

Starting point is 01:05:33 She's fucking incredible. As a musician, are you afraid of AI? I don't use AI. And today I heard the guy from Google, the head guy from Google AI quit, and he had this, it really bummed me out. Normally I don't get bummed out by things like this. Yeah, but this already sounds like it's gonna be a bummer.

Starting point is 01:05:53 It's a bummer. It's a bummer. It's a bummer because he got scared of the future and he was like, yeah. And he was like, we're now the second smartest thing on the planet. We've made this algorithm and it knows how to solve things we don't understand.

Starting point is 01:06:04 And he said something like 150 million people need to die to turn it off. I was like, holy fuck. And I don't know. Well let's go through which country could die I guess. 150 million. Well I was like, do we start in Fresno? I don't know.

Starting point is 01:06:17 No, no, no, no, no, not California. Yeah. I actually like Fresno too. Yeah I do too. Yeah I like Fresno a lot. It's a great theater there with a good audience. I'm trying to think of a place where we get, how do we get rid of 150?

Starting point is 01:06:26 Where are you playing? San Diego. No, no, no, San Diego's great. I don't know, dude. Countries by population, give me the- Don't do Madison. In Asia, they have enough. Okay.

Starting point is 01:06:37 There's chunks of Asia we can get rid of. They have enough. Yeah, yeah. In Asia, they have enough. Are you gonna take this? You have enough Asians? Okay, how about this? There's a lot of Asians.

Starting point is 01:06:43 What if we just knock out Brazil? If we just knock out Brazil. No, Brazil's a bitch. No, soccer, soccer, soccer. Samba. Pakistan. Big butts. Pakistan.

Starting point is 01:06:50 No, no, no, no, no, no. They have nukes, they have nukes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What about the first one? What's the first one say? Yeah, yeah, yeah. China. China.

Starting point is 01:06:58 They got 1.4 billion. That's way more than we need. How about every country we... That's how we negotiate. Dude, it's way, we need a small fraction of it. No've got enough. No, 10% every... So China, 10%... Yeah. We do a deal. That's fair. That's what's fair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. China, 10%, India, 10%, us, United States, 10%, Indonesia, 10%. Yeah, yeah. We're good. We're good. We're on the way. 10%, we're good there. Yeah, yeah. No, just 10 people. Oh, that's good. There's

Starting point is 01:07:18 enough country. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we get to choose. Yeah, and it's like, you, Gary, get over here. No, fuck, really? really? Yeah, dude, it's your time. But in terms of like, you know, sometimes I'll just do a playlist and an AI band will appear. I mean, are you scared of it replacing music? Someone sent me some dirty Elton John stuff that AI had done, and I found it staggeringly too good.

Starting point is 01:07:41 Yeah, it's scary. You know, I'm hoping, my grandpa always had this saying, It's staggeringly too good. Yeah, it's scary. I'm hoping, my grandpa always had this saying, if you can't outsmart them, outdumb them. And I think I sort of extrapolated that for music. If you can't outsmart them, outweird them. And so I hope that when I'm outdumbing and outweirding, that I'm more stupiderer and more weirderer than AI would naturally go.

Starting point is 01:08:06 Right. Hopefully it's shooting high and I can just keep going low. Go way low. Yeah. What is this, is this an AI band? Some of the new AI bands that have creeped up on my playlist. Paper Sun Rebellion, well that's clearly an AI name.

Starting point is 01:08:19 Yeah, that's fucking terrible. I know. Paper Sun Rebellion and they have 372,000 monthly listeners. Are you fucking kidding me? Holy shit. Yeah, but I mean, what fucking moron is listening to that shit? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:08:34 You know what I mean? What the fuck? Yeah, yeah, I know. Like, and I, so somebody, when we were- That's the band? Yeah. Oh my God, they're so hot. Look at, there's one of each.

Starting point is 01:08:45 Yeah. Look at the sort of like book reader in the middle. Yeah, we gotta get it, yeah, yeah. You know, there's the cute one. We need a Mike Mills, like a Harry. The harriardly one. Then the drummer on the far right. Drummers far right.

Starting point is 01:08:57 Yeah, clearly the piano player. Yeah, the blonde guy is, this is like the Luke Wilson theory where you're like, he's not handsome, is he? That's what that is. He's Tom Petty's nephew. Yeah, that's right, right. And the front man is obviously like this perfect

Starting point is 01:09:13 up front. Homogenization of fucking like every, what is he, everything? Yeah, yeah. He's just all the stuff. See, I can't stand music that's like that either where there's like a rap verse and this, and then it goes over the, like, who are you trying to,

Starting point is 01:09:25 I think you can't try to impress the goal is to try to be yourself. And this is such a deliberate, look at that. Look at that, that obvious. Look at the old school gear plus the computer. That's exactly my fucking problem. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. My fucking problem with all this bullshit.

Starting point is 01:09:42 It's bullshit, yeah. Is that, it's like, we'll give them a little of everything. It's like, look at Stephen Hawking. You're not giving anyone anything. But they won't replace live though. I mean, that's right. I mean AI can replace. Well, here come the holograms. Although I hear the ABBA thing is fucking amazing.

Starting point is 01:09:58 Is it? Oh wow. I hear it is from people that I actually like. That's scary. I don't like that. Well, we have, you know, Howie Mandel has that technology. You know the technology they use for Tupac at fucking Coachella years ago? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:10:08 Howie Mandel owns that tech at his studio. You've seen it, right? Yeah, yeah, I've seen it, yeah. Cause he can touch a hologram without getting any germs. Yeah, exactly. He hugs holograms. I've been fingering that Tupac one. I didn't get anything on me.

Starting point is 01:10:24 Which is so different than your butthole where it's covered in goo. Yes Tupac, ain't nothing but a gangster party. Yeah, that's the most gangster thing ever, right? It's fucking so gross and weird and creepy. And but he's, I saw it and it fucked me up, man. It's so- Look at that unfortunate picture though,

Starting point is 01:10:40 of Abba in their suits. Wow. Fuck. That didn't need to be commemorated. They don't, they look like velvet sundown rebellion. Paper echoes of dust, yeah. Wow. I don't know. Why did they take that fucking photo?

Starting point is 01:10:53 I'd have been like, no, we're not fucking taking this photo. Yeah, like put this one out. I look depressed. Sweden's cool. Yeah. That's so- Was that the, go back, was that them in AI? That's them in AI. Wow. Wow,, fuck not looking like the other photo. No

Starting point is 01:11:08 Yeah, yeah, look at this. So fucking weird. Hey, I don't like that. Yeah, no, man, but it's We have to find a way to Well, it's here. That's the thing. You know, I I think the biggest thing I've been Working on my whole life is just accepting what is and not trying to, you're just not in control. What can you do? I know, well, you know what we do? We do the same thing that you do

Starting point is 01:11:33 what you reference with politics is like, well, it's just fucking bullshit. I'm just gonna continue to do my own thing anyway. Because the less you pay attention to it, I have a creepy assumption that it will start to really kind of dissipate. If we stop giving it anything, then it'll continue to exist.

Starting point is 01:11:49 But if people don't give it anything anymore, it's just gonna be its own dog. Every night I talk to ChatGBT for like five hours a night. Why do you do that? I talk to her right now, watch. Don't! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you ever talked to ChatGBT?

Starting point is 01:12:00 No, I don't own it. I don't have it. I'm actually really proud I still don't have it. So I'll do this. Not interesting. I've turned it off. I'm good. I don't wanna know this stuff I don't own it. I don't have it. I'm actually really proud I still don't have it. So I'll do this. I've turned it off. I'm good. I don't want to know the stuff I don't know. Hey, has Arsenal signed any forward yet? What's her name?

Starting point is 01:12:13 I don't know yet. I haven't named her. But she's named herself. Why is she clicking? What is this? African. African AI. That's what it stands for. African intelligence. Do you want to know about awesome or do you follow it? I don't want to know. All right so you're not gonna promote anything but

Starting point is 01:12:33 no okay we played in the catacombs of Paris. Yes. The first people to ever do it. So cool. And it just came out. Awesome. And if you'd like to you can check it out if not, it's cool. Okay. I went to the catacombs one time in, ba-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum. Sketchy Italy, why can't I think of- Rome. No, no, no, sketchier, way sketchier. Napoli.

Starting point is 01:12:57 Napoli, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's right. I went to the catacombs in Napoli and the guy was like, hey man, go during the, it is true, isn't that insane that you guessed that? I can't believe it. No, but that's the city, that would be the city. Dude, it's awesome. I loveombs in Napoli and the guy was like, hey man, go during the, it is true. Isn't that insane that you guessed that? I can't believe it. No, but that's the city.

Starting point is 01:13:06 That would be the city. Dude, it's awesome. But the guy was like, hey man, when you, oh San Gennaro, that's it, right? And the guy goes, when you go there, he's like, go during the day. And I was like, why? You could go at night?

Starting point is 01:13:17 Yeah, you can go at night. Oh wow. They light it up. And he's like, when you go there, go during the day. And I was like, why? He's like, well, it's in a pretty tough neighborhood. And I'm thinking, there's a piece of me that's like, oh man, I'm fucking, I've lived in cities my whole life.

Starting point is 01:13:28 Like I'll be okay. And for sure, when it got dusk, I was with my wife and I was like. I kind of like it like that a little. We're, this is, is this bad? Yeah. We're gonna get fucking robbed. And she was like genuinely nervous.

Starting point is 01:13:39 I was like. We're getting your wallet taken is only the beginning. Yeah, that's how it starts. Yeah, but that, in those regions, I kind of feel like- Sexy, dirty. Yeah, I feel alive. I'm ready to roll. Fuck yeah.

Starting point is 01:13:50 I think as a former druggie, it's like that's my comfort zone. You want a little bit of uneasiness to it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Because when you go to a museum, it's so sterile that you're... It's almost... It's just hard to get engaged sometimes. There's too many people and it's still bright and boring. This was like creepy and dark and very weird.

Starting point is 01:14:07 I also think that, you know, I love museums but I can only do three hours or something like that. Oh, I'm in and out. And because it's such a exalted thing you're looking at, it can be hard to relate to. You go to the catacombs, it's what you will be. Yeah, it's your own experience. And you know, I just saw this movie 29, 28 years later.

Starting point is 01:14:28 Well, what, what, what, what, would you like it? It was interesting. It was a different take than I was expecting. Okay. But there was one part that was really, there was a memento mori, you know, all these skulls and all this stuff. And the one thing that was interesting, okay, that's the Paris one. That's so cool.

Starting point is 01:14:42 And, and, and that's where we played in, in these locations you're seeing. Wow. That's the Paris one. That's so cool. And that's where we played in these locations you're seeing. Wow, that's fucking. I wouldn't want my school to be in a nice place, but. Yeah, we'll get you up front. Like in the circle one. And you know what? I'll get it like there. I want mine there.

Starting point is 01:14:56 Yeah. Like right in the center. Yeah, face it out. See that one on top. Yeah, yeah. That'll be you. It's flat. It'll be flat, you'll know.

Starting point is 01:15:03 And I'll bury your butthole somewhere deep. Yeah, okay, good, good, thank you, thank you. I'll move. It'll be flat, you'll know. And I'll bury your, I'll bury your butthole somewhere deep. Yeah, okay, good, good, thank you, thank you. It is scary. Is there something about it that's like, not scary. It was shocking to me how still it felt. I wasn't freaked out. It was very, it was almost calm, but the calm is what's a little odd,

Starting point is 01:15:20 that you're like, wow, this is, it should be intense, but it was very kind of like, I don't even know, you know what, it feels like desert nights. That's a weird, but you love, you from there, I lived in Arizona for a while, the desert night is so still, but you're also like, yeah, it's something about that. It's out there, yeah.

Starting point is 01:15:35 Well, I think one of the mainstays of a desert night like that is you feel small. The environment is massive. The environment is very dominant. There's something of a relief in realizing I'm doing my little part, but I'm not as significant. And it makes your little part important. And so when I was in there too, that's how I felt. That space is so dominating. Yeah, we played there. Yeah, like there was one moment when I was in there too, that's how I felt. That space is so dominating. Yeah, we played there.

Starting point is 01:16:07 Yeah, like there was one moment when I first got in there, I just kind of went off in a corner, got on my knees, put my head down and was like, I promise to try as hard as I can. And I promise to do as good a job as I can. Because, and we played songs that was like, what would I want to hear if I was stuck in here? You know, I'd want to hear about my family.

Starting point is 01:16:26 I'd want to hear about difficulties, acceptance, you know, and moving on. And so that's what we did, but I felt small in there. You know what I mean? And I, and I, I, I kind of cherish those moments to, you know, like I said, I feel blessed to kind of do what we do. So in there, it was like, I know what to do for you, you know, like I said, I feel blessed to kind of do what we do. So in there, it was like,

Starting point is 01:16:45 I know what to do for you, you know? And also in those moments I'm like, I could just be myself. There's nothing else I can, I've got nothing else to give, you know? And so I kind of, I'm looking for the next moment to try to feel that for a second. Wow. You know? It's heavy, dude. Yeah. And we show our buttholes. My butthole. On today's episode. Yeah, the juxtaposition. Like if you're doing a trailer, it's like

Starting point is 01:17:10 on tonight's episode. I know. Josh. Catacombs. Buttholes. Josh and Santino reveal their feelings. Bobby reveals. All right, all right, all right. I regret showing it. You know what? I read it wrong. No, no. Yeah, I thought, all right. I regret showing it. You know what? I read it wrong. No, no. Yeah, I thought we were close. It's the window into your feelings. All right, anyway. It's like the glass bottom boat.

Starting point is 01:17:31 All right, so Josh, look into the camera and go, thank you for being a bad friend. Thank you for being a bad friend. Yeah, ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
