Starting point is 00:00:24 Being in Life is shit which are positive Let's find out what it's like to live Alive. Being in being in. With Jordan. Williams Goodwill hunting speech.
Starting point is 00:00:45 Oh, my God. Get ready. Tell me when we're recording. We're going. I don't want to hear any advice from anyone who's sweating as much as you are currently. Wait, I want to get into this.
Starting point is 00:00:55 All right. So instead of you were about to give me advice, but I have questions. Oh, I get confusing. You gave me better advice. No, no. You gave me better advice before I started. I'm about to give him good advice.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Before we get confused, let's delineate the different Ian's. Be an Ian with Ian. Be an Ian with Ian. Episode 2. Yeah. Back by popular demand. I don't think that's true. From military gun.
Starting point is 00:01:19 Jordan won't even show up when I'm here. Jordan specifically said if you were here, she didn't want to be here. I'm catching the vibe. No, no, no. She, Jordan is on a assignment in Austin writing on Tom Segura's new show. Congratulations. And congratulations. And, you know.
Starting point is 00:01:37 we thought it would be the opposite of bad idea. It would be a good idea to have Ian back on the pod. And the next time you come on, I swear Jordan will be here. But in the meantime, we have Jordan 2.0. Yeah, bigger tits. Bigger tits. Bigger tits, bigger personality. Bigger bush.
Starting point is 00:01:59 A lot more things falling off of the body. Way fatter. A lot more. I assume a little bit more sweat. A little more sweat. Sweety. Oh, yeah. Okay, wait.
Starting point is 00:02:08 So you had an explanation before it started rolling about the sweat. But no, you had an explanation about the sweat. I'm trying to quit weed. Okay. That's great. I'm doing less weed. The problem is that because I do, I take about 500 milligrams before I go to bed every night, I start to like really sweat it up.
Starting point is 00:02:26 That's a lot. Oh, so you're going through acute withdrawal. I would say that there's partial that part of that. So you're a drug addict. No, I wouldn't call it a drug. It seems as though you're a drug. guy. There's no more drug,
Starting point is 00:02:39 no more addicts that I've ever met than Dan. That's not true. We shouldn't narcant him. See what happens. Dude, it actually doesn't do anything if you're not.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Oh, God. Not a good. God. You got a rock and roll friends. Now you got to zap me.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Now you got to be all edgy. Let me give me some advice. My rock and roll friend. Your little rock and roll friend. Dan is so ready to give advice. I'm so ready to do everything I can. Right to when he's about to give a change of topic. It's what never comes out.
Starting point is 00:03:09 But go ahead, go ahead. This is why the guy's the new I miss, guys. Go ahead. So me and Ian, first time meeting, lovely man and his friend over here, who's also a videographer. I hope that's a friend. David, right?
Starting point is 00:03:21 No, that's one of my best friends right there. David Kelly. With a fucking oasis glasses filming us. Yeah, I know. You bring Liam Gallagher to the pot. Yeah, yeah. I didn't put more camera, man. And down the street, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:33 we're talking about the haunted house trip. and we see Ian come down with this girl. Beautiful. This is already such a confusing podcast for me. Every time I hear Ian, I was not. I was walking with a beautiful girl. I was not walking with a beautiful girl. Ian Fightance walks down with this beautiful girl.
Starting point is 00:03:51 I'm so, brother, Ian. All I've said is two words to her. She seems not mentally ill at all. She's so nice. So nice. So I'm going to give you the advice that Zach Amiko gave to me when he saw my wife. already two lines of advice that is crazy to get from two people. God bless Zach, but if you saw her friend Zach,
Starting point is 00:04:14 you'd be like, one advice that's anyone getting it. Zach's a good guy, great writer. Zach is what a reeds. Zach is the quickest mind in comedy, one of the best joke writers. One of the nicest guys. Sweetest, nicest, and has it figured out with marriage and love. So I will allow this advice.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Let's hear it. He worked at Sarah. So you have a new album out. I am so excited. God save the gun, military. That's more important. Let him finish. But it is true.
Starting point is 00:04:42 What is it? He looked. Lewis Gomez was there. And he was like, oh, you're not dating anymore? And then, like, fucking, what's his name? Zach Miko, looked at the picture of Sarah, looked back at me and said, you got to know when to hold him. No way to fold him. This is such a long walk around the back block to have Dan.
Starting point is 00:05:05 No way to run. He's trying to prove he's rock and roll. He's not having that with the tag hammer. Well, Dan, there's something we wanted to talk to you about actually. Oh, shit. Thank you. Which is that this is actually an intervention about your drug problem. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:22 What? Yeah, yeah. Turns out this is the best that you could do is two the ends. There's no one else wanted to show up. Dave, take your face off. That's actually Sarah. That's actually your wife. Oh, man, I knew there was a reason I was coming when I saw him.
Starting point is 00:05:38 No, I'm so proud of you for not smoking weed. How long has it been? No, dude, I'm taking, I'm doing less. He's high right now. I'm not, I'm saying I'm doing less than I was, and I want to get off and eventually, I do. The problem is, is that I did drink like three months ago, and I've been using it as a crutch. Yes. That's what's been going on.
Starting point is 00:05:55 And that's totally fine. And I want to quit. I don't want to have anything because I love it. I'm a, all I like to do is, you know, work. and hang out with my friends and family and smoke weed, so I got to get rid of that one and replace it, but
Starting point is 00:06:13 yeah, I'm just, I know, I'm 41, I can't. The problem is, is that my tolerance is just too insane. The other day when we hung out, you looked so great. I kept complimenting you, and now you've taken weed out of your life, and I'm worried about everything. I had way more weed by sister. Sweating more and red.
Starting point is 00:06:34 I'm waiting. more present now. Can somebody get me a towel? Dude, yeah, can actually... Yeah, yeah, there's one in the bathroom. Yeah. He's in his Marlon Wayne's era. Can someone get me a towel, a new microphone?
Starting point is 00:06:48 Because I broke it, smacking it on my leg. He's apparently great in that movie, new movie, him, even though the movie sucks. The white monster. What? Oh, speaking of a weird, shout out. I'm not trashed and fucking white monsters, My cleaning lady Gabby drinks white monsters
Starting point is 00:07:06 And I have tried to find them for her in my neighborhood They don't sell them Hudson News Penn Station I gotta go here, man That shit costs seven bucks That's what you gotta-seven dollars? Yeah, you gotta steal it I always steal from Hudson News I just in the airport
Starting point is 00:07:24 I can't stop I just feel like getting caught shoplifting at my age would be like so more humiliating than spending $7. I know. So I just, I haven't, I haven't been up to the plate in a long time, you know. If you get raw, if you get arrested shoplifting, oh yeah. Oh, that'll be so funny.
Starting point is 00:07:46 All these poor ice families locked up with Ian because he tried to, he tried to steal a stuff magazine. I had a girlfriend. I had a girlfriend who, uh, I was on tour. and she disappeared during the day. Like, like, just didn't hear from her for a lot of hours. Yeah. And then I just do some ketamine.
Starting point is 00:08:11 And then I get a text, like, sorry I was gone all day. Um, I got arrested for shoplifting. And so then I'm on ketamine, trying to figure out how do I respond? How to get out of this whole year? How do I? How do I? How do I was just telling me to quit drugs? I'm sober now.
Starting point is 00:08:30 K-hole? I'm sober now. You're completely sober? Well, I'm California sober. What the fuck? He's doing the same thing I am. No, no, no, no, no. It's not the same thing.
Starting point is 00:08:40 You have a problem and I don't. The thing is I only smoke weed at bedtime. I only... How much weed do you smoke at bedtime? Do you do 500 milligrams of animals to get skyrocketed? Just this last week's Halloween. So I was doing... Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:08:59 It's Halloween. It's Halloween. It's Halloween. It was wonderful. This wonderful new show with myself and Dan Soder. I'm writing it on my own. It was my turn with the script. I was having a good time.
Starting point is 00:09:08 And then I reward myself by having a little edible and going to see begonia. Oh, that's a good movie. Scarlet begonias. I enjoyed it. Yeah. Scarlet begonias. But anyway, so the ketamine situation, you're like, one, how do I respond in a loving, caring way to my girlfriend who for some reason decided to get caught shoplifting? Yeah. And then you're also like, how do I respond normally?
Starting point is 00:09:35 As if that, like, how do you respond as a person not on ketamine? And then I texted Matt Perry and he didn't text back. What, uh, wait, why'd she shoplift? I was Sephora. Ooh. And that's a double hurt as a man because you should be buying her. Yeah, instead you're spending your money on ketamine like a drug ad. I had an ex who loves Sephora and I would just, oh, that was my coat too, just for certificates.
Starting point is 00:09:59 I went on a date with a gal and it didn't go like the best. Oh, really? And that. And then she was like, maybe for the second date you could take me to Sephora. I was like, what? What kind of date is that? Does he look like he has money? Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:10:17 Sephora money? Yeah, Ian's not the like, let me date this drug dealer and see what benefits I get. Guy, you know, he's like, oh, this guy's interesting. It's not like this guy's going to give me a fucking Lexus. Oh, yeah. No, I'm all charisma. Charm and smoking mirrors. We know.
Starting point is 00:10:33 But I don't know. I'm telling you, I think this girl, you got to make it happen. Based off of a five-second interaction and all of her looks. Yeah. Can she hear this? I would love to hear this about her. Are you kidding me? Just a bunch of guys saying she's beautiful?
Starting point is 00:10:46 This is pretty weird, though, if she can hear it. Oh, she can. Well, either way, it's nice. Yep, yep. Thank you. Yeah, you guys were at my apartment. I was walking down the street with two cats on my arms from taking them to the vet where he's just covered in pussy coming down actually touch me uh wait do that again
Starting point is 00:11:07 touch me oh god oh here ready ready snail that legitimately infuriates me when someone does that snail if someone snows i'm just like fuck you oh yeah fuck you snail is so frustrating it's the most infuriating thing yeah if you wanted to fuck with somebody before a wrestling match in high school you'd shake their hands like this uh and then be what the fuck then you would do you You should do. Oh, wait, can you bleep that one? Oh, shut. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:11:34 You should do, when someone goes, here, you're snail to me. Ready? Mm-hmm. I don't know how to snail works, though. You just duck under. Duck under and go like that. Oh, okay. Ready?
Starting point is 00:11:44 And say snail. Snail. Salt. Right? This is so corny. Salt kills us. Are your producers like just shaking his head? Shut up.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Right down the timestamps for cutting that one out. You. You really are the male version of Drew Baramore never been kissed. You really are. That is a great movie, and I would love to have a brother who's a baseball player. To be fair, that is just, like, when a girl does it, it's cute. When it's a guy, it's just a pedophile. Yeah, that is funny.
Starting point is 00:12:15 It is funny. You know that movie never been kissed, right? Dude, Drew Baramor. She pretends she's in high school. She does not look like she's high school. She goes back to high school. It's like an Edward Cullen situation. What was Edward Cullen?
Starting point is 00:12:26 Twilight. Oh. He's a high school. 100 years old. And he went to high school. And he was going to high school. That's vampires, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:36 They get old. I get, I stay the same age. They stay the same age. If you're a hundred year old vampire and you got to go to fucking standardized testing. That's going to be so obnoxious. Yeah. I never, I only watched the first one.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Do you watch any other ones? I think I've seen the following two, but I don't remember them at all. I never saw any of them. There's a, uh, I think there's five. We did the math the other day. Oh. We were crunching numbers on that one. I fell asleep the other day watching TV and then the Transformers movies kept coming up.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Oh, God. And it was. Horrific. They're not even. Those aren't even movies. First one's pretty bomb. First one's not bomb. Pretty bomb.
Starting point is 00:13:16 I saw it twice in the theater because I needed to get drunk that day and the bar kicked me out. But it. What? Yeah. I mean, there was like, sometimes, you know, you'll save more money. You get the whiskey. You put it in your pocket and you go to the matinees. you know.
Starting point is 00:13:30 That's how Pee-Wy Herman got cool. Now they just have the McGuffins Bar at the AMCs. You just get drunk. They just let you get drunk at AMC now. Oh, dude, movie theaters are dying at such a rapid rate. They're like, no, no, no, just get drunk here. Eat here. Sleep here.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Live here. Have sex here. Just please, please, don't leave. You want to watch a movie on a couch? We've got couches. I love a movie theater, though, you know. Oh, yeah. Dude, he and I went and saw the Long Walk together.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Hey, no, you and me saw. He and I. No, you said, he and I. He and I. He and I. We went to see the long walk together. You know that Stephen King movie? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Kind of sucked. But. It didn't suck. It wasn't great. It was good. I thought it was good. I didn't think that guy's walking for that long was going to be like a great. Compelling.
Starting point is 00:14:17 You know? The best part was when they were shitting. And they do shit quite a bit in that movie. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Can it, because most of the time when you die, don't you shit? You release the liquids, I think. You relinquish the liquids.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Let's try. Can one do you guys kill me on? I'm saying by shit myself? Anyway, Dan got up and left and came back and he played a ball machine. And he came back with like a bouncy ball. I was like, I've played this and I won. In the middle of the movie.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Yeah, in the middle of the long walk about boys walking getting shot in the head. Wait, when you were the one, you were the ones that was saying the movie was better than his reaction. Yeah, yeah, you need a break. Yeah, you need to get a ball from a claw machine. That's me the next thing is they're going to have like a voting panel for the, for like pausing the movie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:03 They're like, do you guys want a break? You're right. Oh my God. You're right. That probably will happen. It's, I mean, it's, it's pretty. Do you think movies will start to have intermissions because people can't hold their attention stands? Yeah, but that was like an eight hour movie.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Perhaps. I thought, I'm going to be honest, I thought the brutalist was about someone that is scam. a Nazi camp and then brutally got revenge upon their captors. I was very disappointed. You thought you were going for... I was like, what's this guy going to fight back? You thought you were going for a revenge thriller. Yeah, he just wants every World War II movie to be in glorious bastards.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Yes. That's it. Which is a great movie. Pretty cool if it was. Yeah. You know, not everyone has to be that way. Nuremberg's coming out. Russell Crowe playing, I think, Himmler.
Starting point is 00:15:54 I'm good Any other updates there? No no Just another segment of Dan at the movies Yeah yeah yeah Just another depressing film to bring up Well I'm gonna see age of disclosure next month That's the one I'm looking forward to
Starting point is 00:16:12 It's the documentary, the UAP documentary That's gonna blow the lid off of N-H-I-W-T-F Do you know anything about aliens? L-L-L. He is so obsessed with aliens I'm not obsessed with the aliens. You are obsessed to the point where...
Starting point is 00:16:26 Check out Burbs, bro. It's a podcast with Sean Donnelly and I where we talk about UAPs and AI and ghosts. I walked into a green room the other day. And he's like, Mark Michelin ended up talking to the CIA about the UAP project in 1962. Basically what's happening is a God is real.
Starting point is 00:16:45 And we're all in the green room just like waiting to go on stage. Like, dude, can you just chill? Please. It's one of those things where I just, I can't interact with it You know, like if I got an alien in front of me Fuck yeah, I believe in aliens Let's go
Starting point is 00:17:00 I think it The idea that there's not something else out there Seems insane You're just doing magic tricks now No, no, no We got We should be like a manifestation of his own mind We have no momentum
Starting point is 00:17:12 We have no momentum We're trying to have a conversation And you just start pulling ribbons out of a fucking magician's hat Out of your pocket What the fuck is happening? I'm trying to plug my vapids I can faint after this. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:17:25 That's all. Jesus Christ. You bring up the topic of aliens. Ian is giving his take on it, and you're like, oh, what's this? Oh, I've never seen. It legitimately looked like you were pulling scarves out of your pocket. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Oh, Abercadabra, Calamazam. A new great magician comedian. At least it would be interesting to watch. You just got spun. So, wait, Ian. You lied. to me. What?
Starting point is 00:17:54 I asked if you were at the cellar tonight and then I look at the website today and it says you're at the cellar tonight. Oh yeah, I am. Yeah, 930. I didn't get booked until like two days ago. I think he got me to go to New York Comedy Club instead now. Dude, what time you go to New York Comedy Club? Norman and Gary Veter are doing a, I think it's like 7.30.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Yeah. Right? Yeah. Dude, go to that and then roll down to the cellar. I'm down. All right. Yeah. You ought to be fun.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Yeah. Never been. It's a good time. Go to his show. No, no, no, no. We'll see how the rest of this interview goes. And then we'll decide on who shows I'm going to. I respect that.
Starting point is 00:18:38 I respect that. Are you playing while you're in town? No, I just flew in for the day to do New York shit. No shit. And then you're going back to... Yeah, we play Troy. We're taking a train back up to Troy tomorrow. Shout out Troy, New York.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Holy shit. Troy Corps. We're going to do a Troy Corps set tomorrow. Nothing but break. I'm Troy, New York is I've never been That's real New York
Starting point is 00:18:59 I hear it's beautiful I would not include that part but it's real New York It's like fucking Albany I've been I spent a lot of time In Greece New York I don't even know what that is It's like Rochester
Starting point is 00:19:11 Oh yeah My girlfriend's from there So I spent a lot of time Where'd you meet your girlfriend At my friend's house At a party? Old school No we're just
Starting point is 00:19:22 I was homeless And I was staying on the couch She stayed in the guest bedroom, hung out. What year was this? Like a year and a half ago. You were homeless a year and a half ago? I went through a breakup and then I let her stay in the apartment and I crashed around. Were you homeless the last time we hung out?
Starting point is 00:19:38 Was that? No, I think I was moved into a bedroom at that house at that point. Okay, but you weren't like destitute. No, not destitute. Just like without my belongings. Yes, yes, yes. So you were crashing. Crashing around.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Okay. When I hear homeless, I think, on the street, street looking like this. I've slept in my van for like two months at a time, multiple times. But again, somewhat optional. Never like true desperation. Have you ever been homeless or no? No, but I've woken up on the street more times than I could count.
Starting point is 00:20:10 That's the most annoying way you could have said that. Yeah, he's had a rough and tumble past this guy. She's just trying to sound like a Tom Waits. He is. Nighthawks at the diner. I bet he reads the beat poets. I've woken up under the moonlight with concrete as a pillar. quite a few times in my days.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Well, you can say I've been down so long. It seems like up to me. So how did you transform? I'm homeless living on a couch to the chick is in the guest room and now you guys are dating. Well, then I stay in the guest room with her. My man. You move up. My man.
Starting point is 00:20:45 It's all the name. Ian, what's up? Yeah. No, it was cool. We didn't know, like, we just hung out for a week. That's so cool. I love that. Didn't even have her on Instagram until...
Starting point is 00:20:59 What was it like making that move since you guys are both staying at the same place? Is it... Well, our friend was really rallying for it. Oh. You know, like kind of like whispering each of our years of... Oh, that's cute and you just have butterflies all the time. And then like, slowly... Nervous and excited.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Slowly the gap on the couch closes. I love it. Yeah. That's great. It was old school. Yeah. Did any of that inspire anything on the new album? That record was already written at that point.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Oh. Wait, this, the new one? Yeah, I'd say the gun was already ready. We write, like, we are always writing. So it was like so long ago. There was a couple songs at the very end. I mean, she definitely was not wanting to fuck up that relationship is a big inspiration for getting sober. For sure.
Starting point is 00:21:43 She's sober. Oh, that's great. It was definitely a thing of, like, when we first started up, that was my first attempts at stopping. Last time we were here, we talked about a lot. Yeah. I didn't stick to it. went back and was bad for a while. But, and she was here with us last time, too, on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:22:04 That's right. But, yeah, she definitely inspired me to, I just did it. I just is like, I don't want to fuck it up. I don't want to fuck up my friendships. I don't want to fuck up this beautiful relationship. Receive things getting fucked up, or did you kind of get out ahead of it? I just was just legitimately slipping up. I was making decisions I wouldn't choose to do if I wasn't uninhibit.
Starting point is 00:22:25 You know, like it was just, I was just being stupid. Yeah. And it was like, or I could just not be stupid. Yeah. So I chose that path and it's, it's seemingly made my life better. So I'm in. Sometimes I miss the stupidity more than anything. The chaos of it.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Yeah. That is quite a. What was your thing? Drinking. Drink him. Yeah. Yeah. The chaos is the funest part.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Like, we played a show in Minneapolis with Knocked Loose, and there was a garage door that we realized that was strong enough to hold us, like, to lift us. So we just did garage door games for a long time. Yeah. And then eventually we were like, what if we make it crush a can? And then it pans over and I'm like a freaking monkey on it.
Starting point is 00:23:19 And then just... See, I would do that sober. And I still do a lot of stupid stuff like that now. But it takes me up. and they just never hit stop so then my foot starts getting crushed. Oh, Jesus. And so I let go in a reaction and just go straight onto my head. Oh.
Starting point is 00:23:36 So I don't miss that. I got a black eye from it. Yeah, I don't miss like waking up bleeding and not knowing if it's like my blood or someone else is. See, I wasn't like a big blackout drunk. I just was a start at noon and keep it consistent for the rest of the day. Yeah, I miss the feeling of a warm bath that alcohol presuppers. provides. Oh, yeah, like feeling like you're drowning and then finally you can breathe.
Starting point is 00:24:01 That's what alcohol feels like. It's all peace. My big fuck up, which is funny because, like, it's not a big fuck up in the scheme of things. But I went to a bar, had like two drinks with a friend, came back, smoked weed. Apparently it was the most fucked up I've ever been. Like, I took drug tests the next day because I was like, what the fuck happened? I had two drinks. But my, like, throwing up phase is,
Starting point is 00:24:25 I want to be in the shower for as long as possible and fall asleep in the shower. I've flooded bathrooms on tour.

Starting point is 00:35:09 The teacher role would fit you Do you do you get acting gigs? Not like you do look like you would show up In a montage of dead kids Like you were the last photo of like Oh that was our teacher he tried You're like a Richard Dreyfus type Dude, I love acting.
Starting point is 00:35:24 I audition all the time. I get nothing. I get to the third round callback and then I lose it. I don't know what it is. I acted a lot before the pandemic and then once, because I would do in-room auditions. Yeah. I'd fucking nail it. I'd book the room.
Starting point is 00:35:38 And now everything is on tape. Oh, yeah. Disconnect where I'm. Self tape seems so brutal. It's very hard. I had to do one last night. I had to pay for an acting coach. I have to pay for a reader.
Starting point is 00:35:48 I got to do one fucking tomorrow. And I just like. like lose, I guess I don't translate the way I do in the room and it sucks. But I love it. Well, to be fair, that is the job. I'm not good at the job. You're not, but I'm saying like,
Starting point is 00:36:05 unless, unless, the whole thing is for you to translate and do a room you're not in. So I guess if it's not working on the self tape. I know, but the whole thing of doing it in the room is, you can like play on the energy and like really like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:36:16 like book the room. And so a lot of stuff I've gotten is not even from the audition. It's from the people in the audition thinking me for something later. Yeah. But then, dude, I actually... It should be glowing.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Everyone takes up. I had to do it. I had to film a self tape for my friend that was on tour with us once. And it was... I really enjoyed it because I had direct music videos and so I was like, able to give them a little tiny note. Yeah. What about...
Starting point is 00:36:44 I was having a great time. Oh, dude. But it was also just being like so awkward that we were like at a hotel in the UK. Yeah, that's a thing. It's always in a hotel. tell. I always have like my opener, be my reader or something, and it's just like whatever. And then, dude, one time I was in Chicago like two months ago and I auditioned for this show on FX for the main character and I had to do a Southern accent. And I didn't get that role, but they were like, we really like you. So we want you to audition for this role. Is this a lowdown, the Ethan Hawk show? No, it was, it actually didn't go. They actually canceled it. But they asked me to audition for a second role. They're like, we really like you. We see you in this from that tape.
Starting point is 00:37:25 So we want to see you read for this. And I fucked up so bad because I was like, dude, if they like me, I'm going to really show me. Oh, you went overconfident. I am going to improvise a monologue at the end of this. And, dude, I went off and was like. At that point, they're like, well, we're working with a psycho. Yeah, I'm a cop, but I don't want to be a cop. I'm a cop because my father was a cop and his father was a cop.
Starting point is 00:37:51 And I got into this to help my community. I didn't get into this to chase down guys that aren't even... This is the silly string division? Of the Comitia del Artee police force? Yeah, I'm a cop. Officer Waka Waka. Nice to meet you. Yeah, it was brutal.
Starting point is 00:38:06 I asked my agent, I got another audition. I go, what did your agent see it and be like, great job? No, no, no. I asked her, I go, I go, what do you think? She goes, look, you did it and it's in the past. Let's just move on. on to the next one and I was like, oh,
Starting point is 00:38:23 never again. Dude, I, I, I, I auditioned for new girl to play coach and I showed up
Starting point is 00:38:32 dressed as a coach, which is not something the character ever does. And it was just, and like, they went with Damon Wange, Jr. Like,
Starting point is 00:38:40 that's how bad I did. It's like, we need to find something, like, we need to find something like a completely different universe. Oh,
Starting point is 00:38:47 years ago, I got to a third round callback. I go to the, to the audition and on the storyboard it was drawn out and it goes, our hero enters the room and it was a picture of me. Like they already had it set up
Starting point is 00:38:58 whatever and the casting director was like, look, this, if it's up to us, it's yours. It's like 99% yours, but the client did say they may recast your role as an 11 year old girl, but we're shooting in a week and we told them we're not going to go through casting. So we'll
Starting point is 00:39:15 let you know. And then dude, I got the call on Thanksgiving and they're like, they went with the girl. And I was like, that's who I am on the inside. Like, please, please. God, that's a bummer. Oh, dude, it was like, I would have been set financially for like five years. Well, I ended up getting booked on the new girl, and then they cut my role. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:39:33 So it's like, yeah, I mean, I've had somebody different. I was propositioning someone for sex at a bar. That's what it was. It was, you know, right in my wheelhouse. Can we play it out? I'll be the girl. What is this? To kill the sunrise, please.
Starting point is 00:39:50 I've got an autistic girl at the bar. Yeah. This gets darker with the fidget spinning. It's like half autistic, half like Rosie Perez. Here, here, here. Come up and talk to me. Ready? Hey, buddy. Five angel shots, please.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Do you know what angel shots are? When you feel like someone's going to drug you, you order an angel shots of the bartender saves you. Round angel shots for me and my girls. Okay, come on, come on, ready? Tequila sunrise, hold the sunrise, extra tequila. It was something. I would pick you up.
Starting point is 00:40:21 God, I want to fuck. Well, that's a different thing. Oh, hey there. How's it going? Wait, are we doing this as me or is the role? You're trying to pick you up. As the role. I think the guy was just like some creep.
Starting point is 00:40:31 I forget what it was. Yeah, so it's you. So just be yourself. Would you be open to using my mouth as a urinal cake? No? Check, please. Yeah. Was that really the line?
Starting point is 00:40:50 No, I just made that up. Oh. Well, it wasn't that funny. What was your actual line? He's been taking 500 milligrams of weed. There's no way you remembers what happened yesterday. I remember some lines from a... Actually, I'm lying. I remember nothing.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Yeah, there's no way. I remember's anything. You memorize the stuff. I'm memorized for the role I'm doing tomorrow, but... What's that? I'm in Nemesh's pilot. So what are you playing in that pilot? A guy named Drunk Mike.
Starting point is 00:41:22 And what's your line? It's a real stretch. What's your line? I can't really reveal it. It's it. It's not really yet. Let's read the script. So you're saying if I drink all this, I won't get my kids back.
Starting point is 00:41:32 I mean, it's not that far off. What you just did. Do you act at all? No. I'd like to. I'd be okay. I'd like to listen. I, I, yeah, I would like to.
Starting point is 00:41:43 But I'm too afraid. The whole thing of film acting is looking like you're listening. And you look like you're listening all the time. Oh, I haven't been this whole time. Never listening. That's awesome. Huh? I don't know what to do when someone.
Starting point is 00:41:56 else is talking in a scene. I don't think comedians know how to do that. I think I overact it and go like... Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I've definitely done that too. My whole thing with acting is every time I'm, I'm like listening or whatever, someone else is talking, I just think I'm like not on camera. So like, just start talking.
Starting point is 00:42:19 I'll be like, uh, yeah, so we're going to the game later, right? Yeah, we're going to the game and... I've done that too. God, you and I are terrible. actors. That's what I'm realizing. It's all I would do with that. I don't know if it's the self-tapes issue.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Yeah, yeah. I think it's the self. So you guys on tour now or what? We're on tour. For what? Oh, sorry. I'm so sorry. That burned it.
Starting point is 00:42:45 I'm not going to, I'm not staying at the New York Comedy Club. I'm going to the cellar. That's what's up. You just lost. I just was texting for you. I was, that was Dan Soder. I was texting him like, it was just a picture of a jiggly butt.
Starting point is 00:42:57 I love, I love Dan. Here, that's the stand. Dan's the best. I am, which, he said, I am, which show were they going to? So you are going to cellar. Okay. I don't know. Wait.
Starting point is 00:43:07 So how, where are you touring now? We're doing, like, all of the most random cities we can on this tour. It's like, freaking Palm Springs was where we started. Hell, yeah. That spring is nice. Lawrence, Kansas. Not as nice. We did Columbus, Ohio, and a laundromat.
Starting point is 00:43:27 Oh, dude, the laundromat. Dirty dunger. It was awesome. Yeah. We're doing Troy, New York. We did Pittsburgh yesterday. Flew in from Pittsburgh this morning. Pittsburgh, where did you play in Pittsburgh?
Starting point is 00:43:39 Bottle Rocket, which is like a comedy club. Yeah. Yeah, I was so sick seeing all the flyers on the wall. Yeah. And then it's, we're doing some, we're doing Worcester. Worcester. Worcester, yeah. Wester, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:53 Wester. Going down to the south, Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Hattiesburg. Oh, I've been to Hattisburg, Michigan. I've never played Mississippi, but I've been to Mississippi. Hadidburg, Mississippi was a lot of, like, not as, not, the people didn't show up because it was me, but they were great, the people who did show up. And there was a really a feminine guy in a Confederate flag shirt.
Starting point is 00:44:15 And I remember he was great. He was like in the front row. That's cool. That's my big story. Did you do a bunch of crowdwork on that? Yeah. It was brilliant. I don't remember what it was now, but it was me.
Starting point is 00:44:26 I was opening for a band. I forget the band. They were really nice. I played Fayville, Arkansas, and it fucking ripped. Never played Arkansas. It was great. And then there was a punk show across the street. Shout out the Flembs.
Starting point is 00:44:38 And I went. That sounds like a proper punk band name right there. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was cool. But I think I have a run coming up of New Orleans, Mississippi, and then Alabama. But I got to figure out what towns. We're doing New Orleans, too. I've never been.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Or I've never played. We've gone to New Orleans in two weeks. Yep, we're going to Skank Fest, baby. Oh, yeah. That's going to be sick. Yeah. That seems like chaos. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:00 It'll be fun. I bring my wife. Every comedy festival is basically like, hey, it's a good chance for everyone to like get together. It's like summer camp. But this is the one that's like summer camp for the bad kids because everyone's like, do I really have to do this show? Because I just took two bags of mushrooms and it's going to kick him when I'm on stage. Like one year, Kim Congden was just on a podcast. It's like unable to function.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Was it last year that Ari shit on stage? Two years ago. I wasn't there for that, I don't think. What happened last year? I went to Vegas. That was the first one I've ever been to. I've been invited a couple times. I didn't go last year.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Sometimes I wasn't sober enough to go. That was the smartest thing I've done. My sobriety is not when I was relaxing. Yeah, I was going to say being sober at that seems. Well, I didn't go. That's me every year. This was right after my mom died. They invited me in 2022 and I was like, I can't fucking do this.
Starting point is 00:45:47 No way. I'm drunk all the time. I can't do this. Yeah, no. I am sober and I go and it's like at a certain point, you're just like, all right. And then like, you go to the casino to gamble. to gamble at like 3 a.m. and then everyone's just like sloshing around like
Starting point is 00:46:01 it seems brutal. I've never been to New Orleans though, so I'm pumped about this. Really? Yeah, and I'm in Toronto and Hamilton the next weekend, so check me out. I went to Norman's wedding in Orleans. It was really cool. Actually, I went to New Orleans in 2006. I went with United Way to rebuild homes that got hit by Katrina.
Starting point is 00:46:21 And they moved us from New Orleans to that's how you know she can. hear the podcast. Why, I'm making myself back. You're like, yeah, I was going to build the homes. He like opens the door and he goes, I was volunteering. I was volunteering at the Big Dick conference. At the thick vein conference.
Starting point is 00:46:41 But, uh, no, dude. So we went down to fix homes and shit that got hit by Hurricane Katrina and they moved us to Foley Alabama because homes still had not gotten fixed from years before from Hurricane Ivan. Um, so like everything was. was like still so backed up. Yeah. Like I guarantee they're probably still
Starting point is 00:47:01 working on homes from Katrina. But they did, dude, they took us in New Orleans and then they took us a Biloxi Mississippi and it was the most gnarly thing ever seeing like houses with the waterline and like the X with like how many people are in the house and how many were missing. Like, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Jesus Christ. Did you act up when Hurricane Ian happened? I made a post with the hurricane in my face in the middle of it and I was kind of like was during a psychotic brig or was it's just you being you I was me being Ian I was I was I was windmilling I was blowing on people I was going Hurricane Ian that's a good bit yeah I was having that's a good I was having a great time during
Starting point is 00:47:43 hurricane I don't know I don't know I don't know Hurricane Ian's here I don't know what the death toll of that one is but I was having a good time God I should have taken people stuff and thrown it in this yeah dude and you just what was I take it by because you just go Hurricane Ian. I don't think they'll ever be a hurricane during a comedy festival because you couldn't really report it as a tragedy. You know, I'd be like, all these improv guys dead. Like, well, you know.
Starting point is 00:48:09 We were at Skank. Everyone would say who. It's not a school. We were at Skank Fest Houston when the Travis Scott thing happened and we're like, this is crazy that this isn't the worst festival going on right now. Did you? I watched for the documentary. Have you seen that?
Starting point is 00:48:24 I haven't seen it. It's terribly made. It sucks. But he's a prick It got to the reason why that happened Which was that he had his own stage So like a normal festival, the reason why they don't have the issues that that festival had Is a multiple stages
Starting point is 00:48:41 And the headliner is on one of those stages So people camp out all day for the headliner We opened for Siza, everyone hated us They did not want to sit through our music before that weekend No not that weekend but I'm saying like Like when you play a festival Like people camp out, crash the doors to go straight to the barrier and sit there all day and look disinterested in every other artist. This festival didn't have that because Travis had his own stage.
Starting point is 00:49:08 So what ended up happening was that nobody is waiting at a stage that has nothing going on all day. So when he came on, when he came on, everyone stampeded, what was about to come on, everyone stampeded to that stage. That's why people got so fucked up. is that... So it was unequivocally his fault. It was... For the planner. For sure, live nation's fault.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Yeah. Like, I don't... Wow. It was so funny. Everyone was, like, blown up Travis Scott, which for sure at fault to some degree. He's a dick, but it really isn't his fault. No, it's the festival organizer's fault.
Starting point is 00:49:39 But also the ego of like, I need to have my own stage. Like, that's a big part of it. That's a big thing. That's a big part of it. Ian, this is, this happened. This Ian, not you Ian. Yes. But I did this festival in God, 2013 called Friend of Nature Festival.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Kevin Burnett was on it. That's how long ago it was. Rest and peace, my brother, Bird Lugar. Bird Lugar forever. But there was a really nasty storm during the festival. And they're like, man,
Starting point is 00:50:07 we can't have musicians come out here. Yeah. But they made the comedians go out there. Oh my God. So we were literally doing like, it was the best that I've ever had. I was blackout drunk, apparently like Germain Germain Fowler.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Afterwards, he goes, I don't want to admit it, but that was one of the best sets I've ever seen. But, like, I was, I was there. There was, like, trash. It was just Dan throng. Hurricane Dan! That was it.
Starting point is 00:50:29 I was like, like, run! There was, like, Kins out on everywhere. And I was at all my powers. But I can open me my powers if other things are failing. That's how my powers work. So the whole time, like, we're doing these, almost getting electrocuted in, literally modus. The people that, who was there, was the rapper, the Jewish rapper, modest, uh, modest, Modus Yahoo.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Yahu and Guar, I think they were on it. Macklemore. When they, Bacelmar was, no, I was on, I did Bumber. I did Bumber Shute with McElmore. I used to print all of his merch. Really? Print all of his merch? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:58 He was nice. A couple times I met him in the print shop. Yeah. He's like my size, though. Really? He's a tiny guy? Yeah, everyone who's successful is short. 5-7.
Starting point is 00:51:11 5-7 gang for life. That's up. 5-10. Overweight. Normal. But I do think Yeah, it's, festival culture is, is, uh, I've never, I've done Bumbershoot. I've never done Bonaroo. I can't imagine, like now I can't imagine staying three days for a festival.
Starting point is 00:51:35 No, never. I saw, I saw Modest Mouse at Bumershoot, though. That was awesome. They're great. But I, I, I wasn't there. I was the, there the year that, um, run the jewels were there, Billy Idol, McElmore. It was a real weird. Are you playing, are you playing Outbreak fest this year? No. Are you? No. I, I, won. One. I, to go. It's one of the best festivals. It's incredible. Talking about maybe doing like a side stage, like comedy show or whatever.
Starting point is 00:52:04 Yeah. Because I get asked to do fests on like the band stage. Chappelle Lacey's doing a flyover fest. He has a side show for that. Oh, really? Yeah. I hung out with him and I was like, are you doing comedy at the fest? That's going to be terrible.
Starting point is 00:52:20 He's like, no, luckily it's a comedy club that's just going to be presented by the hard club festival. Oh, so it's going to be all. Yeah, so it's off-site. So it's going to be actually good. I would do that in a heartbeat. I've never heard the Bonaroo tent being great. Like, I've always heard, I've heard some people say it was good. There's too much going on.
Starting point is 00:52:37 There's like noise happening that outside that distracts from the comedy. I'm doing a camp out for hunger with WMMR. More, you're such an altruistic guy. Well, thank you. Wait, she didn't hear it. I'm doing camp out for hunger to help the homeless. Thank you. Stop.
Starting point is 00:52:55 sucking in your gut to fit into your jeans. You deserve better, you fat sack of shit. You deserve the perfect gene. They fit like a dream. They don't chafe. They make you look like you're packing it all in the right places. And I'm talking about your gack. The perfect gene is perfect because it fits perfect.

There's an actual venue that is like a side, like, actual comedy, like show. And I was like, oh, thank God.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Yeah. Thank God. Because I thought I was going to be doing stand up on an, in an outdoor tent for people staying up for 24 hours to camp out for hunger. And I was like, people are going to throw cans of beans at me. Yeah, that would be terrible. That's the show. That's the show. In indoors as, as like a side event is absolutely the way to go.
Starting point is 00:54:53 Maybe I'll talk to Outbreak about doing that. Because I would love to go to Outbreak. And get Chappelle out there too, because that'd be a banger. I saw you guys at the Hardcore Fest. This is the best. That would be great. That would be so fun. Because I also want to play England.
Starting point is 00:55:08 I haven't, dude, actually, we're setting up a tour for me in Europe in June. That would be perfect because it's the end of June. To culminate in Manchester, let me do this. Get your agent on the line. Hello, agent. Okay, what was your question? Well, I don't enjoy really. I actually went out on Friday night and Saturday night.
Starting point is 00:55:27 I went because my dad likes going out. I don't care, but we went to this like Halloween kind of thing on Friday, which was really fun and went to a movie on Saturday. But I don't, you know, because I've been out in nightlife for so long now, I have no desire to have my free nights outside. I'd rather be on. I'm in bed by nine every night. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:49 Like, I can't. He's the opposite. He has to be out every night. And now this motherfucker gets booked all the time. So it's like he really needs it. Like it's crazy. It wasn't, what I'm talking about because of comedy, I don't like to go out at night as much. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:03 You still need to go out, which made sense back to day. But now you get booked a lot. So now like you just really need it. You need to go out every night. And he was saying he likes to go home too. Yeah, I like not going out. But then I just feel so restless. I have to go out.
Starting point is 00:56:23 Not going out is way better than going out. I know, but you have someone to not go out. Oh, true. No, even when I'm alone, I prefer it. For another day. Damn. You can make a move, man. Say, I love you.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Dan, Dan, chill. All right, chill. Straight up, chill. As he goes back to fishing. By the way, you gave me shit for looking at my phone for two seconds. He was on his phone there for like three minutes. Well, I was just texting about. making dreams come true.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Whose? The English. The English. Oh, that's right. Yeah. No, I, dude, my, I, I went out last night, so I had sets last night, and then I was going to go back home, but then I ended up staying out and having, like, the best time.
Starting point is 00:57:09 And I always convinced myself to, like, go home, like, you deserve to not be out. And then I just, that strings together days of, like, not going out. So if I'm out and active, that keeps me. on like a better path. Does that make sense? Yeah. Like I have to. I like the path.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Yeah? Just nothing happening. But what do you do when nothing happens? Do you just watch movies? You play video games? What do you do? How do you just sit? Watch TV?
Starting point is 00:57:38 I watch a lot of news. I'm not watching. Yeah, look at TikTok. I don't have TikTok. That shit will take up a lot of your time. It went from, it went from watching stand-up. I'm watching a stand-up.
Starting point is 00:57:49 I'm not going on. Uh, but, uh, you know, it's just where I'm at. But, uh, yeah, I, uh, I like going home sometimes, you know? No momentum. We have no momentum. Fucking, you're fucking trying to get these spiders to fucking kill me. Fucking spider webs everywhere. Even the spiders are like, get out. Get out. Get away from us.
Starting point is 00:58:27 When do the spider webs come down? It's November. partner webs should have come down by now yeah it is straight up not a Halloween episode we really kept it decorated it's the ghost of native Americans I don't know I'm trying to think of something spooky you know so we killed them all okay I have I have a question about comedy and our imperial go for it I have a question about comedy all right is does hanging with comedians suck ass I like it I most of my good friends are comedians I'm gonna say that I'll say this uh without a doubt I've never felt more normal than comedy
Starting point is 00:59:04 like almost every other place that I've been in I felt like a freak and comedy is like the one place like that's why a friend like me and Ian were really good friends is because we're both like ridiculous people but we think the other person's more ridiculous which is ridiculous but like we like if you watch one of us will do something retarded and the other one will immediately get on their high horse I don't do that yeah yeah I would never do that meanwhile I'm eating the cobblins
Starting point is 00:59:29 I felt like that snapper up your ass. It's like, it's not condescending when he does it because I know he's fucked up. I prefer not to hang out with comics. Well, so my thing with it is that like musicians like are all pretty low profile where comedians are very loud. And I just feel like if you have five people who are all as loud as you two, I'd be like, I'm going to kill myself. funny is like off camera off stage i'm pretty mild mannered to the point where like when people come up and talk to me or whatever i'm like oh hey blah blah blah they're like dude what i was expecting you'd be like crazy and i'm like i'll eat your hair like i don't what do you
Starting point is 01:00:17 want for me you know like i like because a lot of times it's comics it's like very uh like bit bit one up one up or like complain this guy sucks that guy's and it's like very mentally like draining. So I like hanging with comics at like the club like after a set or in a green room and then like leaving. But like I don't know. I'd I'd much rather hang out with like my musician friends than like, you know, well then you get to be the loud one. I think it's because I like being the star.
Starting point is 01:00:51 Maybe that is what it is. No, I don't know. Because I don't like talking about comedy. That's the thing. And comics always bring up comedy. and like, you see this special. See, but I want to talk about comedy with you guys because I love comedy and I'm on the outside of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:04 So it's a, is that annoying? I call that punishing. Yeah. No, no, no, no, I don't know. Like, I guess like, I don't know. Don't you find that like when, when comics just start talking shop? My particularly obnoxious personality, like where I, my obnoxious personality is not obnoxious in a comedy scene. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:24 But this personality can be very obnoxious in another scene. But I'm pretty mild-mannered for a comedy. comedy scene. I got, you know, and also, like, I never have a problem, like, I don't care about being the center of attention. I really don't. If somebody's funny or I always pass the ball. Like, that's not been my thing.
Starting point is 01:01:40 I guess just never, but so my thing is I just want an interesting conversation. And a lot of the times I can get that with a comedian, but I love talking politics. And, you know, my wife and my dog, sometimes I just stare. No. I do like. I could go with having nobody, too. I think about that a lot, like 50 years old, cutting everybody out, having my own space, trying to open up a stargate on my property.
Starting point is 01:02:02 property. That would be awesome. That's how you know you just watch Bagonia. I do like hanging with comics in the sense that you can immediately go to like, I'm fucked up like this app and I'm so, and then they like get it because they're fucked up too
Starting point is 01:02:18 whereas if you're like... Same thing happens in music for sure. With your like, um, like I've been with like my friends from like high school whatever and I'll lead with like oh man this happened and blah blah blah I'm like dude you shouldn't say that like what's a matter of you? I'm like... They're both spaces where social norms are completely broken down.
Starting point is 01:02:34 Yes, and I like hanging out with anyone in that realm, whether they be a comic or someone else. I do think musicians have it harder because there is an element where they have to be cool, like to some extent. Like they have to be, I think for most part, like musicians are not cool. I know, but that's what I mean. It's like they have to preserve sometimes a mystery, even if they're not cool at all.
Starting point is 01:02:55 Like, that's why my favorite onion head was. You're just talking about Dave Navarro. No, it's, but one of my, I've heard of Uh, uh, I need headlines was like David,
Starting point is 01:03:04 Bowie and wife decide to reheat leftovers tonight. You know, like just like a normal thing. Yeah. So, but I do, something you don't want to think
Starting point is 01:03:11 about that person doing. Well, that was like the whole, there was a whole section of people magazine. Well, that's why apparently the Bruce movie sucks is apparently it's just like, yeah,
Starting point is 01:03:17 this guy's like life wasn't fucked up enough for a fucking movie, yeah. Yeah. Like I could. Well, like that, that's a whole section
Starting point is 01:03:23 in people magazine. Stars are just like us. And it's like pictures of them doing like errands. And nobody wants that. Yeah, no. You want to see. I like Trump.
Starting point is 01:03:31 Trump is the most like a star ever. I mean, he just eats fishful a ace, you know. I always think back to the Trump post of when he, it was maybe a Cinco de Mayo. And he got a taco bowl. And he was like, I love Mexicans. And I like, I saw it. And I was like, this is satire. And then I was like, no, this is the official account that has posted this.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Yeah, like when he, when some football team came to the White House and you just got the McDonald's cheeseburgers with like gold plates. They love it. This has to be fake, right? It's like, nope, this is our reality. Weird living in it. This is what it is. No, he loves. He likes fast food because he thinks it's clean.
Starting point is 01:04:07 That's what he says, because it's all packaged separately. It's the craziest. Because somehow, because it's not touching ever food, like the sandwich is in its own box. Wait, are we saying that is Trump autistic? Yeah. I mean, there's a possibility, but that's why he likes it. We have the first neurodivergent president. So wait, now Trump is woke?
Starting point is 01:04:26 Probably not the first. I know that he likes compartmented food. How do you know that? Because he says that. Oh, I thought you would like an insider tip. No, I know he likes. A man on the inside. Joe, we'll get, look at how.
Starting point is 01:04:42 He likes the cleanness of it. His string beans to touch his ham. Yeah, I mean, I think it is very. I'm different. I like everything piled together and you just shovel it in. I don't like to have things separate. I don't like my food to mix. Really?
Starting point is 01:04:57 I love it mixed Mix it up, eat it up Yum yum yum yum Interestingly enough Who's the most confusing of us sexually The mix plate I like a little mixed I've had a little gay experiences
Starting point is 01:05:11 Yeah he doesn't like any mix Have you ever had a gay experience No gay experience Exactly Well the show's not over yet Get that horn ready Actually it is Let's wrap up
Starting point is 01:05:21 Oh Alright Wait I thought you want to leave Sorry Wait, I had a crazy Bobby Lee story. Oh, what happened? Can I tell it?
Starting point is 01:05:30 Yeah, yeah, go for it. Here, I'll light up a cigarette. You have a cigarette's length to tell it. I went to Major Domo in L.A. I enjoy, I love a fancy dinner. Yes. Is this sushi? It's Korean.
Starting point is 01:05:45 It's David Chang's restaurant. Heard of this place. Heard's awesome. And I'm sitting there. So Bobby's there. Literally one of the first things that me and my girlfriend ever did was went to the comedy store and Bobby and, and Santino were,
Starting point is 01:05:59 we're playing. And Bobby's at the bar with a girl. No shock there. Nice. And, uh, I'm like, you know, I won't say hi to him or anything. He wasn't fucking know me at all. He walks by the table and the girl that he's with is someone that we know
Starting point is 01:06:17 and we didn't realize it the entire time. He walks up and, uh, and she goes, Bobby, this is military guns. And he's like, oh, and he unlocks his phone and shows us that he was Googling us. Really? While sitting at the bar directly in front of us. No, I had no clue that I was there.
Starting point is 01:06:39 So what? So you couldn't tell the story as a comedian. Because if you're a comedian, you'd be like, shut the fuck up. You're in business for yourself. The girl that he was with dated our bass player. And she had to have been talking shit about us. You'd date? It had to be.
Starting point is 01:06:56 You don't think that she was like, oh, that's my friend over there. Oh, that's funny. No, no, no, for sure. She, she walked up to the table surprised that to see us. And then Bobby was like, look, I was just Googling. Yeah. Oh, that's funny. She was talking shit about you guys.
Starting point is 01:07:15 She was probably talking shit about our baseballer. Really? Probably. Was he a shitty guy? No, but he didn't date her. He didn't end up with her. Every girl. Actually, you know what?
Starting point is 01:07:23 This shouldn't make it. Now that I'm saying all this, this shouldn't make it. Cut that, cut that, cut that. But photo of Bobby. Oh, nice. Holding it out. And then he goes like this. I listen to your band, man.
Starting point is 01:07:35 And he just double taps the back of my neck and then walks away. Just no good or bad. He said, I'll listen. He said, I'll listen. This is just a photo of us. Dude, he, well, wait till he likes you and takes you to the Korean spa. I don't think it's going to happen. He immediately gets naked and then runs away.
Starting point is 01:07:54 And then he, you get naked and you don't have your glasses and you have to go up to the windows at the sauna and go, Bobby, Bobby. And go up and look at other Asian men closely because you can't see with your glasses. And then when you showcase at the store, he brings that story up and then tells everyone a lie
Starting point is 01:08:10 that you have a lollipop penis. And you have to then defend yourself. I think that I'm... It's like, yeah, I brought him once. He keeps going back to that place and asking for Bobby's, okay? I think I'm good without being, you know, No, I don't need that.
Starting point is 01:08:25 I think I'm better not being good with Bobby. It's quite the experience. I think I'm good. I'll bring you. I don't want to see your penis. Do you and Bobby ever hook up? You went to a bath together? I don't know.
