Oh, y'all, y'all, y'all. That's bust around. I don't know. I can't see it. I like boys to men. I like Bell Biv DeVoe. I like R&C. That's not R&C.
Starting point is 00:48:17 That's not real. I like old stuff. That's R&B, though. But. Run DMC's rap. I didn't hear you. I heard you say Bell Bib DeVoe. But Bill Biv DeVoe is like a mix. You know? Yeah. Because they were like R&BB and guys that wrapped. They are, but I feel like if it's R&B at all, then it's R&B.
Starting point is 00:48:33 You know what I mean? That's true. I can't wait by Old Dirty Bastard. I love that song. I don't even know that one. There's so much great Woutang you can still get into now. It's okay to like it now. I like 36 chambers.

Yeah, when I was a kid, I loved MC Hammer, vanilla ice, and Chris Cross, and my parents would only let me listen to it for an hour because it would make me so hyper. I would run up and down the stairs over and over listening to it
Starting point is 00:49:01 and then I started to wear my clothes backwards and I started to act black and I'd be like yo yo yo and my parents are like we're shutting this shit down so this isn't like you don't dislike it you tried to like it and you got like you know what's it you got reeducated by your parents in a way that was

Starting point is 00:51:14 with me now ain't about that and then um I they would sneak me boozo which is kind of fucked up but I went to the record store to get old dirty bastard because my mom used to drop me off and I would just listen to like cannibal corpse and like all these like metal bands and shit. And she goes, I'm not letting you listen to that. That's not what you like. I know what you like.
Starting point is 00:51:34 I'll give you this. And she gave me a hardcore record compilation called Victory Style 2 from Victory Star Records. And that changed your life. Yeah. Wow. That's amazing. Yeah. Because I used to listen to Diddy all the time.
Starting point is 00:51:47 Diddy was my guy. Yeah. My favorite rapper. But then Filipino guys in my school gave me Jay Z and then that changed my life. forever. This is after Wu-Tang or before Wutang for you? Bro, before it was just bubble gum wrap.
Starting point is 00:52:02 It was like Diddy, Mace. Oh, I love Mace. I love Mace still, but back then that was like commercial rap. You know what I mean? Like MTV TRL rap. Yeah, exactly. But then my boy, I'm 39.

Starting point is 00:52:46 I am, bro. Yes. Because I do want to be black. Yeah, there you go. That's a fact. I do want to be black, but I'm a Latino. I want to be black like an old 80s black guy named Liam.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Like, what's that called? What's that? Like, I want to be old black Like, I'm in the opening credits of Beverly Hills cop. Yeah. Like a bit from Cleveland. Yeah, like, like, I want to be best friends with Reggie Hammond from 48 hours. That's a, I want to be Reggie Hammond black.
Starting point is 00:53:12 What is that? A riga? Reggie Hammond. I think we're exploring your territory here. And what you like, it's truly just. Reggie Hammond is a riga Don't bleep these I'm telling it
Starting point is 00:53:29 I am the the the the arbiter of this You hear like what Like young guys young Latino guys in L.A. They drop ends like They drop ends like Chinese kids Like crazy Like crazy
Starting point is 00:53:45 You mean like hit them? Like drop them? No they're saying the N-word Like every other fucking word If you ride like the train or anything like that in L.A for around like kids in high school that's New York culture that's like Miami culture that's like LA
Starting point is 00:53:59 culture it's no longer it is but it makes it's weird to me because you know these are kids who are much younger than me I hear that I'm thinking like you guys aren't black yeah they say it like they are black they really have the confidence like they're not saying yeah but it's like a call it's part of the culture
Starting point is 00:54:15 it is it transcends Scanics unless you're white yeah but it's all it's all it's everywhere it's all messy and New York and you New York, I get it because Puerto Ricans and Dominicans have a lot of black in them. But Mexicans and like Salvadorians. Dominican, man. They'll hate to hear that.
Starting point is 00:54:32 Holy shit. Oh my God. I'm going to sign out. I'm black. I know Dominican. No, but Mexican, I'm Salvadorian. We don't have any black in us. And we say the N word, I don't.
Starting point is 00:54:45 But like a lot of like, Tolo's do. But you don't say it. But why don't you say it? How come some people who are very similar to you? Well, because I'm from Canada, bro. You know what I mean? Yeah, I guess that's different. That didn't come up there.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Right. The inward didn't touch us. It's cultural in how you're raised. But if you're raised in that culture through the music or media, it doesn't fit. You have to be involved. Like all New York City public school kids say, when I was a teacher, it was so fucking hard to navigate speaking to them because they would say it five times in one sentence. And I'd be like, I'm trying to decipher, you know. What did you teach, bro?
Starting point is 00:55:22 I taught... Language. Shapes. Funnily enough, I taught English. And boy, did I lose that battle. Yeah, no, I taught... Glenn! I taught ELA and history test prep.
Starting point is 00:55:40 What's ELA? English language arts, math test prep, but I got my degree in secondary English education grade 7 to 12. I was a full-time sub on the Lower East Side. Wow. And I drank my way out of that. And at the same time, I would, on the days I wouldn't sub in the Lower East Side, I'd sub in Brownsville, Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Oh, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I even know about that. I even know of Brownsville. I taught in Brownsville. I taught it dangerous now, right? Yeah. East New York.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Brownsville's dangerous in the day. I taught at a transition school where if you got kicked out of another school or whatever, like you went to this school to make up and get your, like, get on the level with, like, your grades and everything. Damn, man. Yeah. And dude, the scariest I've ever been in New York was when I was going to and from school to teach. Did you ever have any run-ins at all?
Starting point is 00:56:27 The kids liked me. And so I actually, the one run-in I had, and I learned by then to like, you really have to choose what fires to put out. So, like, they tested. Oh, God. Oh, God. Yeah, but they test the shit out of you. Like, this kid came up and was like, he called me like Peter Pan. I was like, no, dog, I'm Captain Hook.
Starting point is 00:56:50 sit down and he was like, all right. Dude, I'm telling you, this kid came up, dropped a bag of weed on my desk and goes, what do you know about that Kelly Cush? And, like, sat there and, like, stared at me and I go, all I know is it, I'm going to turn around. If I turn back around and it's still on the desk, I'm taking it home and smoking.
Starting point is 00:57:11 And he was like, all right, yeah, yeah. And it was shit like that, like, but that was high school. I was so good with high school. When I taught grade school, they did not get those type of interactions and they would be like, what do you? Like this girl was like,
Starting point is 00:57:27 dude, I got in trouble because this girl was like, she said, I need medicine and I'm crazy. And I go, look, if you keep talking out, we're all going to have to take medicine. Please sit back down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she went home and was like the teacher said that I need medicine and that I'm making the class crazy.
Starting point is 00:57:46 And I'm like, dude. I didn't say that, yeah. It was fucking nuts, dude. a teacher lost their job. One of the teachers I worked with lost their job because, and this was 10, 11 years ago, what has happened recently in the education system is, like,
Starting point is 00:58:02 it is the things that you would hear would make you think I'm talking about like a science fiction movie. It is the scariest, saddest shit you will ever experience in your life. Like I had eighth graders who had to miss class because they had to testify against a guy in court who slashed them on the way to their house. Nice. So I used to walk kids home.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Like it was fucking nuts, dude. Yeah, Pat, man. So, um, the, uh, this, this, uh, teacher got fired because she'd been to school for 10 years. She got fired because there's a kid, third grade problem. And also when the kids are problems, you tell the parent and you're the problem. The kid is fine. You're a liar. My kid wouldn't do this.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Also, if you're in third grade, you're like, hey, guess what? Your kid's a demon. Okay. And they're a demon because you. You didn't do your job as a parent. And they see us as babysitters. It's fucking terrible. And the administration doesn't care, dude.
Starting point is 00:58:57 They don't give a fuck. The teachers are so burned out, and they're just sticking around to get fucking tenure. The administration doesn't give a fuck because of no child left behind. So if kids get held back or whatever, the school loses funding because all the testing results go out in the paper, and then parents go, the school's not doing its job.
Starting point is 00:59:15 So literally, you would teach them how to take a test so that they could move forward and appear as if they are on the level when in reality you have a 19 year old sophomore that can't read who can't write a sentence who doesn't understand what a paragraph is and you have to move this kid along and then at the same time they're dealing with unheard of unfathomable abuse at home right and parents that don't give a fuck about them and all they care about is the kid going to school enough days so that the parent could get money and truancy is out of control and the like it's it's kids raising kids there was a girl who wore hot pants 14 years old her ass is sticking out she gets taken down to the office
Starting point is 01:00:02 you're not allowed to wear those call my mom call my mom blah blah blah call the mom this girl a blue hot pants the mom showed up green hot pants my girls got it why can't she flow on it fuck you man across the board dude it is the most depressing thing you will ever be involved in. And dude, I did this for fucking years. How many years? Dude, I taught. And so because I taught, I was a part of the problem.
Starting point is 01:00:27 I taught how to take the New York City regents exams. I had to earn money. I got paid very well. I wouldn't say you're part of the problem. You're just part of the system. I was a part of the system. But I would stop teaching that and do lessons on like empathy. Or like, like, why is it okay for you to call this girl smut?
Starting point is 01:00:47 Do you have a sister? Do you have a mom? Oh, I didn't think. Like shit like that. Yeah. And what was I saying before you asked me in that? Oh, so I was in placements. So I taught on the Lower East Side.
Starting point is 01:00:59 I taught in Brownsville, Brooklyn. I taught in the South Bronx. Two different schools in the South Bronx off Intervale Ave. I was mighty, witty, dude. I was the only fucking honk on the block. It was crazy. I fucking taught at Boys and Girls High in Bedstai, number five were school in the entire country off Utica Ave.
Starting point is 01:01:17 Jesus. It was one of my favorite schools to teach at Brownsville. I love that school. Why did you love it, though? Because it was high school, and I got along with the bad kids, and they would listen because I would, like, clap back. And the grade school kids did not. They were the biggest brat loser, like, demons you would ever meet in your entire life.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Like, high school, I feel like they chilled out enough and, like, kind of got it. And I flat out would tell them, like, Like, dude, when I taught at Bushwick, Excellence High, I flat out, like, told them I was like, on the first day, I was like, look, like, if you don't want to be here, you don't have to be here. I'm getting paid no matter what. I was like, and if you don't want to be here, leave because there's kids that do. And I don't care. I was like, I don't care if you make it or not if you don't want to be here. If you want to be here, I'm going to give you everything I have.
Starting point is 01:02:09 And if you don't, then get out. I really don't give a fuck. And, dude, nobody left. And they, like, listen. it was like I had to and that was high school. If I told grade school kids like, I don't care. They'd be like,
Starting point is 01:02:24 you don't care about me. If you don't like literally, he's, he's looking at me. He's looking at me. Okay, well, it's okay.
Starting point is 01:02:31 He's allowed to look. Just don't let it bother you. That's bullying. I could kill myself. Do you want me to kill myself? Oh my God. I'll kill myself. And then dude,
Starting point is 01:02:38 I'm just like, uh, uh, uh, like does not, I was so unable to deal with that. age group that it was bleeding into my real life.
Starting point is 01:02:50 And at the time, dude, I was doing stand-up and no, I didn't tell a fucking kid, I didn't tell a parent. You can't. You can't tell. And a teacher that would cover for me when I go on the road knew. And no one else knew. I did not let them know that I was a comic or any,
Starting point is 01:03:06 they didn't know anything about my fucking personal life. And the, what was I saying? I mean, you were just talking about how it doesn't matter. No, it is. You were talking. about how you were doing this and how you were saying how. Oh,
Starting point is 01:03:20 I was doing stand up at night. It was hard to deal with it. I was going on stage. And the second someone would talk, it was my chance to take out all the anger that I couldn't on the kids. Yeah. And I'd be like, shut the fuck up. Like flipping out.
Starting point is 01:03:36 I, dude, it was crazy how much it bled into my like regular life. Yeah. I would, dude, I would leave school. I would cry. Like, it was fucking,
Starting point is 01:03:45 and, And when, because I had to leave the city because I lost one of my teaching jobs because I was drinking. What do you mean you because you were drinking? You were drinking at work? Or you were like, didn't show up? I was drinking at work. I wasn't showing up. They didn't know, but I was like unreliable.
Starting point is 01:04:03 So what would happen when you were a full-time sub is you'd wake up 7 a.m., go to this site, check what schools need you. Do nobody needs you while I'm up and I have the whole fucking day and I don't have a job today. might as well start drinking you know already like lit from the night before and then at the school because I student taught at this school and they were like yo be a full time sub what's that mean a full time
Starting point is 01:04:27 it means full time so so I was a sub and then when I became full time sub I'd literally show up at the school and just hang out and then teachers would like leave for the day and I'd cover their class or I'd show up and instead of them putting it on the site they'd just be like oh Ian you know like sophomore history is not here
Starting point is 01:04:45 And I'd be like, okay. So like on call for one school. Yeah, yeah. And I wasn't like worksheets up. Like I wasn't like sit and watch movies. Except at Brownsville, a lot of the times we'd watch apocalyptic. Apocalypse. Why that?
Starting point is 01:04:59 Because it was like historical. Like interesting, you know. But yeah. And so, but towards the end, it was, it was like that. I was like drinking all the time. Like I would go, I would get up and go to the liquor store and, and get. a little bottle and then I'd go to the deli and get a beer and I'd chug it in a phone booth
Starting point is 01:05:20 hiding from like my kids and I'd go up and like teach and like puke in the trash can on the way up Is that how you got caught? No, they didn't catch me. You said you lost your job. I just stopped showing up because I wasn't reliable. Right. And at one point I was teaching the school on Essex and Ludlow, I think,
Starting point is 01:05:39 and then caddy cornered to that I worked at this restaurant. So I teach from nine to like, I don't know, I don't know, three. And then at fucking four o'clock, I'd go and fucking work at this restaurant. Like two. Jesus, man, that's a hard schedule. My kids would come out of school. And this was a progressive school.
Starting point is 01:05:58 So they called all the teachers right at their first name. So I'd be out smoking a cigarette. And they'd be like, yo, Ian, get me a beer. Like, yo, give me a sandwich. High school? I don't know you right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:09 It was crazy. It was fucking nuts, dude. Yeah. Like all the shit that I went through with, like, teaching is informed a lot of like my opinions on a lot of kind of current stuff with like how like all that Knicks ride shit like all I saw was just kids who
Starting point is 01:06:27 were completely failed by their parents completely failed by everybody really system failed by every single thing around them raised with a nihilistic view of the world that nothing matters combined with social media and clout mixed with like an absolute apathetic way of living. Right. Because no one has ever fucking cared for them
Starting point is 01:06:53 except for the clout they get from doing abhorrent things with their friends. Right. And it's, I mean, it's like the saddest shit ever. So how many years were you doing that? Yeah. I taught from, and it was so funny, too, because when I had to do like my observation hours, was at this preschool on the Lower East Side
Starting point is 01:07:16 and all the black kids I used to have long career hair What's observation hours? You sit in the room and observe a teacher And then you enter the one teacher like Is it like as a training thing for you? Yeah yeah yeah okay So like dude one teacher would like go and like
Starting point is 01:07:30 It was dude the gym teachers were fucking nuts They were the ones who were like you want to go get fucked up after school Like we're doing karaoke like all this shit Yeah dude it was it was fucking nuts bro And so it was funny because when I was teaching preschool, all the little black kids would crawl on me and be like, why is your hair different? Like, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:07:50 You know, because, like, I was, like, one of the only, like, white people. Like, dude, I was teaching kids in Brooklyn that had never left Brooklyn and didn't, and thought people only wore ties on TV. Like, they didn't understand that, like, they didn't understand that you could, like, leave. Like, you know, townies in, like, the suburbs and shit? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:11 There's, like, city town. Like kids that net people that never leave their porch in fucking Small towns these kids never leave like their stoop or whatever What we saying about the observation hours thing you went in an observation hours? Oh so so I mean I was in in and out of classrooms for fucking I don't know goddamn Years dude six years seven years 2000 2000 I started observation hours and shit in 2004 2005 and five and dude what in my teaching program? I? I 2004, 2005. And dude, in my teaching program,
Starting point is 01:08:43 kids are dropping out because they would observe and students would go and spit in their face. And like, this one Chinese girl got like beat up. What the fuck? I mean, we're like breaking up fights. Like, Jesus. Crazy. But that weighs on you.
Starting point is 01:08:56 Do you feel like that some of this stuff? Draining. Ways on you. And people get involved in teaching because they want to help. And then after a year or two, they're like, I got to get out. And then that's how, again, how these kids are failed. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:09 Because and like good teachers that stick around. It's like, dude, one of the, one of the coolest things I ever saw was this teacher that everyone liked, this male teacher. So like my kids at this one school were so bad. They were not allowed to move classes because they would fight so much in the hallway. So they had to stay in one class and all the teachers had to go to them. Oh, man. That's like prison or something. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:36 And like, fucking guards everywhere. Jesus. Metal detectors, whatever. And, dude, one of the coolest things I saw was this kid was in the hallway mouthing off to this teacher. And this is a difference between then and now because there's been a complete rod and degradation of society and culture and, like, values and everything. We're like, there's no consequences for these kids, by the way.
Starting point is 01:10:06 You can't, like, do anything. And they know, they're like, call my mom, see. She knows she'll get my back. Yeah. And it's like so sad. But dude, I saw this thing where this kid was mouthing off to this teacher and like got in his face. And he was like, I'll hit you. I'll hit you.
Starting point is 01:10:24 And this was like a beloved teacher. And the teacher was like, no, you won't. He's like, well, won't I? Why won't I? And he gets in his face. He goes, because he doesn't have the heart. And he stood at him. And the kid just, like,
Starting point is 01:10:36 and his eyes teared up and the teacher just like hugged him and it was like so like touching and like because like at its base like these kids need like they just need love love yeah someone to like love them and like take care of them and not be grown up as as a four year old and want love and attention and their mom at 2 a.m. on the subway tells them to shut the fuck up because they're on the phone you know it's like the saddest shit ever I feel like I'm going to cry right now. Can we talk about something else? That is beautiful though. Legitimate. That is like what's up. What it is?
Starting point is 01:11:12 I've got dates. I'm going to be Madison, Wisconsin. I'll be in Madison, Wisconsin July 9th and 10th and 11th. I'm doing comedy in states. It's going to be a great weekend. I'll be in Seattle, I think August something that lasts, 14th, 15th, something like that. And I'll be doing a bunch of stuff. I'll be in Florida and September. I'll be in Hawaii and Honolulu, I think, in October.
Starting point is 01:11:35 I got a bunch of, go to job. Johnny Pemberton. Dot dog. Johnny Pemberton. Oh my God. Shout out to all my teachers. They were fucking great, man. I had a great. Man, who had a good.
Starting point is 01:11:49 That was great. That was so beautiful. You know, it's crazy. One more thing. Years later, I got asked to be involved in a media project for past teachers with TIA. Was that? Can you look at what TIA is? It's some like...
Starting point is 01:12:05 They sponsor like public radio. I've heard like TIA craft brought to you by you know well all these like teacher programs and like all this shit it's all fucking teachers insurance and annuity association yeah it's like a union so yeah we had to talk about our experiences teachers or whatever and like I did a sketch reenactment where this kid who I helped get into college
Starting point is 01:12:27 saw me in the subway like a year or two later and I'm on the subway and this kid's like yo mr. finance mr. finance like what and this kid comes up he's like you got into college it was because you you helped me with my letter blah blah blah and like now I'm doing this and dude I cried and I like hugged each other I bet man
Starting point is 01:12:46 that's crazy and I'm just a man with the mustache alone that just hugged like a black teen and it's like what so a part of this project they asked about my experience as a teacher and I explained the test taking and no child left behind and like how
Starting point is 01:13:03 the system like fails these kids just in terms of like teaching to the test is like completely like evil and like and teachers would literally go in and change grades to be like Yeah because they want to get the quota and have to make that. And the teacher, this kid Nico had a 52 and then put him up to a 78 so he could pass, you know,
Starting point is 01:13:24 literally like going through just like, uh, his dad was in jail for two weeks. Let's bump his grade up. She's going to be barefoot and pregnant by 14. Let's bump her grade. Like literally. And guess what?
Starting point is 01:13:34 A girl that graduated that, eighth grade class shoot this was my coordinating teacher i saw her when i was teaching another high school and i was like angel what's up i was like how's mrs blah blah blah does she still teach she goes no she's actually the principal now wow and so i i talked about this on this thing and uh they cut my thing completely and told me that they can't include it in the project why because it's true i was talking about how like evil this shit is and they cut the fucking entire thing oh And I still got paid, but it was like, yeah, they made it not, they couldn't co-sign this, they didn't want to be associated, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:14:13 Yeah, it's ridiculous. Crazy. Oh, it makes me so fucking man. And dude, you don't want to. Yeah, the more you know about stuff like that. One more thing. I haven't even, like, hit the tip of the iceberg, like, all this other shit, but I would talk to all the teachers.
Starting point is 01:14:27 And, again, like, I was, like, the only fucking white guy in these schools. And we would sit and talk and commiserate, and they'd tell me, like, all, like, the real behind the scene shit. about like real nitty gritty like parents and administration on this stuff and I'd say stuff and they'd be like yeah blah blah blah and then at the end they'd be like you know what the saddest part is you can't say any of this because you're white
Starting point is 01:14:46 why because it's like all like culturally racially based oh right you can't be critical yeah it's like a white person yeah right you can't be at all I mean sometimes you need a white savior though you know what I mean sometimes you do my English teacher grade 9 Mr. Braille changed my hero save us Bing and Dong
Starting point is 01:15:07 Ding gang Go on Sometimes you need a white savior No yeah I'm not Makes sense though Because if you're a person Who's had been lucky enough
Starting point is 01:15:14 To have Like Oh is the greatest thing I've ever been a part of Bro what do you mean though You had that moment On the subway That's beautiful
Starting point is 01:15:22 But I had other shit like that With kids In like situations It was like Dude that that's why like I get like I think sometimes
Starting point is 01:15:31 People think I speak out of turn About like certain things But it's like every time some awful shit happens like with all like even I said like the next thing it's like I see every single one of my students like faces on these kids it's all education fucking kills me yeah everything starts education and every problem comes from people not being educated yeah and also yeah it's rude it comes from the parents not parenting and like yeah it's just a cycle bothered to read to their fucking kids and and dude the the last
Starting point is 01:16:04 school I ever taught at was Bronx Prep and I taught fifth and sixth grade horrendous experience left whatever and then years later I got involved in a after school program teaching kids how to do stand-up which is hilarious like me that's cool though and the school I was placed out was fucking Bronx Prep damn how many years after this was this was 2019 and the last time I taught at that school was I think 2016 so three years later But the odds of that was like fucking crazy. Yeah. But yeah, no, like, like, it's, it's, I mean, it's such a insidious, like, parental thing.
Starting point is 01:16:48 Did you start? Dude, at one point one teacher, I went to a teacher. I was like, I can't control my fucking class. I have, like, nothing. I can't. They won't listen. And this woman was, this was when I was teaching in the South Bronx. And this woman was like, you know what I tell my kids?
Starting point is 01:17:04 I tell, I tell, I put them. the board, I go, EBT, do you want to be on this the rest of your life? Do you want to, do you want to be beholden to the man, to the white man, to the white man, you're going to work for the white man for the rest of your life? So I swear to God. So you paned your face black. I swear to God, I got to class.
Starting point is 01:17:21 I wrote the man on the board, and I was like, the way you act, do you want to be beholden to the man? Do you want to work for the white man for the rest of life? I thought, and this kid was like, you're white. I was like, I'm the man. Fuck. Fuck, I have no leg to stand on right now.
Starting point is 01:17:38 But I am also a victim of the man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's that bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm also a victim of the man. The man even attacks the smaller man. Who's trying to help the non-man, but I'm not the man because the man is making me not let me be the man.
Starting point is 01:17:54 Even though, in a way, I kind of am the man. I'm the man. But I'm not the man. But I'm serious, though. Sometimes you do need like a white savior. Like dangerous minds. Have you ever seen dangerous minds? I thought I was going to be Michelle Foggling.
Starting point is 01:18:07 I thought if I wear a leather jacket and sit in a chair backwards, I'll save. But bro, it sounds like you were, dude. Because there was moments in school because, like, man, I never grew up in the Bronx or whatever, whatever. But I grew up in the hood of Canada, which is like whatever. But there was so much gang shit and this teacher pulled me out of it. Because he taught me about Irish literature. And I got so into it. That's cool.
Starting point is 01:18:29 And I learned how to write. You know what I mean from him? And Mr. Braille, and I always tell people all. all the time. I'm like, that guy pulled me out of the streets. Because I would have been dead. If I would have grown up in New York, I would have been dead, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:42 1,000%. Yeah. Yeah. Especially with addiction. Oh, my God. I can't even imagine being an addict down here. You've been sober for a while. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:51 So you got sober initially. How old were you? I was 26. That's a long time. Damn. Yeah. How long did you sober? It took a while, though.
Starting point is 01:18:59 I've been sober 11 years, but I started to try to get sober. In like 2008. I don't even, if I was born in 84, 2008, I would have been what? I don't know how to do that stuff. I went to school. I had good teachers, but the math teacher was so funny. I was a pet. I was a teacher.
Starting point is 01:19:18 And then I saw you. I went, yo, I take it back. I take it all back. That's where they have math teachers and not. See, I focus more on how to live than how to read. How to read an ad and shape. I can count it. I can count it for you.
Starting point is 01:19:30 Hold on. 22, 2008. So what is that? 30. 34 years? 24, yeah. 24 years, okay. 10 off.
Starting point is 01:19:39 Did you start, when did you start drinking the most? When did you like really start drinking? Burrito. How about you? Well, yeah, how, when did you start drinking? When did you have a problem with it? How old were you?
Starting point is 01:19:49 You started like, I think like, man, when I was in college. Like 18? 19? But that's the thing. It's like my teacher like made me work my ass off. So I got into college, bro. And I was going to be like an English major.
Starting point is 01:20:03 I was an English major. college. All that shit. But when I was in college, I felt so, like, different because all the kids are, like,
Starting point is 01:20:09 tall and white. Right. So I just wanted to fit in. And I would, like, go drink at the Liberty Pub. And I would just get fucked up. And it got to the point. For real?
Starting point is 01:20:18 Because I was straight edge. Yeah, which is, like, a lifelong promise and no drugs, no alcohol, whatever. And then when I got to college,
Starting point is 01:20:26 everyone, all my friends drank, and I didn't feel like everyone else. Yeah, yeah. So I felt like I had to drink to, like, fit in. And then it just,
Starting point is 01:20:33 because that's what I I did too, bro, because I never drank because my dad's in the program. So I just wasn't a round booths. And I was always scared of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then when I got to college, I wanted to fuck white girls. And I couldn't know how to do it. I didn't know how to do it.
Starting point is 01:20:49 That's how you do it. And then, but then it never worked, bro, because it was just a creep. I was just the worst. I was just a little short guy. Oh, dude. Dude, one of the first times I got drunk, my buddies ripped on me for this forever. I was dancing with. the girl to
Starting point is 01:21:05 some journey song slow dancing and I was my game was so bad I was like you know I've never not danced to this song without a kiss oh my god you might have a fucking fedora on with that line dude a horrible game
Starting point is 01:21:21 they were ever since they've been like it was mine is mine you owe me a kiss milady I'm like too terrible I say my lady I believe a kiss would suffice to close this day Don't stop believing that I will be getting one smooch. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:38 I have not stopped believing that time. Worst game. Worst game. Bro. Bro, the flames won the stand. Well, no, sorry, they were going to win the Stanley Cup when I was in grade 11. And all the girls would pull their tities out, the Red Mile. Because we were winning the games.
Starting point is 01:21:54 I think I'm going to go to Calgary. But they would pull their tities out and I was so bad. We got to win. Guys. But they would pull the tities out. I just didn't know how to touch titties. So I saw the nipple and I twisted it. Oh, yeah, not supposed to do that.
Starting point is 01:22:09 And the girl went, fuck! And then everybody was like making fun of me forever. I didn't lose my virginity until I was like 23. That's a good age. I lost mine at 19. I won't really. I think it was 19. I lost my mouth virginity in first grade.
Starting point is 01:22:22 What does that mean? What does that mean? What did I mean? That's a different thing, I guess. Yeah. The fuck? What? That's...
Starting point is 01:22:31 So what are your plugs, dude? I'll be popping my cock into this car I'll be clocking my stop I'll be stop Johnny have one more then we'll wrap up when we're done I'm one singer today guy I'm sorry
Starting point is 01:22:46 Johnny I can't I'll get sick Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes Great band That's a real band That's a real band? Yeah That's cool Is it a hardcore band?
Starting point is 01:22:59 No no no Like old like boogie duop boogie like think Bruce Springsteen if he never left Jersey with like sacks and brass
Starting point is 01:23:11 you know not a fan the one thing that pisses me off though is when I talk about this stuff I'm coming from a place of like lived experience of being like totally immersed in like a different world like teaching everything
Starting point is 01:23:22 that's why it pisses me off when like stupid fucking white losers that have never been involved in that thing will be like this is how it should be and, you know, like, restorative justice and this and that. It's like, motherfucker, I've seen it with my own eyes.
Starting point is 01:23:36 Like, what the fucking core issue is. And if you talk about it at all, it's like, well, that's not your thing to say. And blah, blah, blah. It's fucking infuriated. Oh, that's, it's so dumb. But it's also just that person doesn't have anything to say but that. So it's this weird sort of clout that they have because they know that they don't have anything to back it up with.
Starting point is 01:23:57 So they say it's stuff like that, like weird, like buzzwords and things that just are, You're not actually saying anything at all. No one actually cares because, yeah, I mean. I hate people that hate cops, but they've never been around cops. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's kind of ridiculous. Yeah. Also, like, the cop thing is so, you know, oh, every cop is bad?
Starting point is 01:24:17 I mean, I don't know every cop. I look at it like teachers. Like, I think some get into it to change and help and be good. Of course you do. And then you get broken down and be down by being around the most, the saddest situations possible. and seeing what actually goes into why bad things happen with certain people. And in order to keep your paycheck and take care of your family, you numb yourself to it.
Starting point is 01:24:41 And then ultimately, in half of the teachers, these aren't students, these aren't humans, these aren't like beings. They are drones that you just have to get through the year, push them through, don't care, don't worry. But then the police look at people like fucking paperwork and then, you know, and also like in the sad fact, is in millions of police interactions, the amount of like unarmed people that are actually killed by the police is like so astronomically low. But that's not like,
Starting point is 01:25:09 like that's what infuriates me. When a fucking guy gets killed by a white officer, it's a complete bedlam of like injustice. But when one of my students gets fucking slashed in the face and has submiss school because a guy on his block tried to rob him when he's eight years old, not a fucking peep and nobody gives a shit. And that, I think, is more racist than anything else.
Starting point is 01:25:33 That is more insidious and hurtful to society at large than hyper-focusing on one instance of something that seems sexy in the media. Ianfinance.com for all my dates. Ian doing odd guy doing odd jobs. We're popping off YouTube.com slash Ian Finance Comedy, Patreon.com slash be anem pod. Yeah, I don't know. I can talk about this shit all day. Sorry if it wasn't like the most funny thing. It's very interesting, no.
Starting point is 01:26:05 I think it's really interesting. I love it. Dude, that was great. Yeah. I love that. I like that. You know what?
Starting point is 01:26:10 I used to hate cops my whole life because I got fucked up by cops all the time. Constantly. Like my face fucked up. Yeah. Everything, bro. Jesus. Everything. Were you like getting out of jail?
Starting point is 01:26:22 All the time. Like, well, like not jail, but like holding cells and like drunk tank. Right. All that. Thank God, bro. Like, that's why I believe in God. Because like, I wouldn't, I should have gone to prison so many times.
Starting point is 01:26:33 Right. And they, I just, I was lucky. Yeah. But coming here, though, like coming to the States to see all the cops are like black and Latino. Yeah. Blue my mind. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:26:44 Because in Canada, they're all white. Right. You know what I mean? So here it's like, oh, and all the cops are fat. Why are the cops fat? That makes sense. Why are the cops fat in the States? Because they're going to have a jelly.
Starting point is 01:26:56 Because they sit in their car and play candy crush. Oh, yeah. And then fucking. It's sitting just like fucking. fucking eat. Well, I'm going to go on down to Timmy's. And they've lowered the standards so much. Have a couple of ten bets here. You know? We have some ten bets.
Starting point is 01:27:07 And, well, we got some First Nations guys coming in here. And they're looking up to no good. So we're just going to rest them right away because I got to get my coffee's going to cool down. It's cold out there. So, you know, just got to have a couple of ten bets. And I got to do it quick here because I got the case of the green apple drizzlies going to shit through the green door. I'll tell you that. I got it.
Starting point is 01:27:27 Green apple drizzlies because I was all smoking crack with the mayor. of Toronto. Rob Ford. Rob Ford. Legend. Rest and peace. King. Truly a fucking legend of psychopathic.
Starting point is 01:27:38 Dude, what's the thing? What's the thing he said where somebody was like, did you say you would eat so-and-so's pussy? And he's like, no, I never said that. I eat my wife's pussy and I got enough to eat at home. Fire. That's a, Oh, my God. That's a Canadian heritage moment.
Starting point is 01:27:54 The best. Canadian heritage moment. I love Canada. His face should be on the loonies. It should be. Crazy. Throw it at strippers. That'd be fire.
Starting point is 01:28:07 That'd be fire. How could we not honor him more? Yeah. It's like a total rock for you know. With a crack pipe. They should do that. They should honestly. And strippers would love that.
Starting point is 01:28:17 Oh, yeah, I bet. He loves trippers. Did you give your plugs? We'll plug together. I'm going to be at Just for Laughs. Oh, yeah. We're just for laughs together. Yes.
