Oh, I was, I thought we were doing bits. It was a bit. Do you want to... You don't do, like, really dark? I do. Yeah, yeah. Like, very... So you just don't get me yet.

Well, when I say my mother died alone, I mean... I mean, if you want to do a sad off, we can go toe to toe. It's up to you. No. No, I don't want it. I'll do whatever you want. I also have a Jeff Cap upstairs that's a white plaid color. The hat you have?

Kangle. It's called like a Jeff. A Kangle, yeah. I have one that's... I was going to put it on so that, We could be like matching, but I didn't want to like, you know, upset you. You could. It's up to you.

Patrick, can you please go up? It's on my coffee table in front of my couch, please. Thank you. I don't want to smoke down here. Do you smoke cigarettes? Did you ever? No, I'm a big weed guy. I was a big weed guy.

Got you. I'll talk to you about sobriety if you want. Yeah. How long has it been no weed? Eight months plus. Get out of here. How do you feel? I feel good.

Yeah? With the occasional, like, maybe it's a good time to do weed, but I don't do it. What about withdrawal? You know, that happens, that happens. Are we recording? Yeah. That happens. Oh, I'll do an intro.

Hey, everybody. Welcome back to Beanie with Jordan. Jordan is on assignment somewhere in this wild world. But I'm here holding it down. You saw possibly. the biggest celebrity we've ever had on the show, Glenn, will be running around. But today, we have a guest that I am so excited to have on the podcast and in my realm,

in my space. I am honored that you've taken the time to hang out. And I mean, he's one of the greatest of all time, I think. And you've earned the nickname that I think. that I think is so beautiful and wonderful, the bitter Buddha, but everybody, the wonderful,

the amazing Eddie Pepitone. Thank you so much, Ian. You're welcome. Yeah, we were talking about my... Mother dying alone. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry, I didn't... Cut the cameras.

I told you. I didn't want that known. No. No, my proclivity and my fucking love... lifelong, I don't know, addiction might be a strong word. You know, addiction gets thrown around like a frisbee, doesn't it? Especially, I don't know.

I think mental health does, but I think addiction is, I think sobriety gets thrown around sober when people are like, I don't drink, but I smoke weed, I'm sober. That's not sober. You just don't drink. Right. Now, I get it that it's sober-ish. To people who they got so fucked up drinking. I never did.

My whole thing was just this weird, not weird, but I would love going. I still do that marijuana bubble. Like, I'm almost like that Reefer Madness movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's like for me, what it is is that, let's say, I was bored at a party. Or I was super bored and I felt

very uncreative and about to go up on a stand-up show. I take a couple of hits of good weed. And this stand-up show, I'm like, everything opens up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like I dig it. And the parties great. And look at that.

But then you become this weird mad scientist, alchemist, trying to bend things to replicate the perfect amount of what it was. And I know for me when I would try that, I'd always go too much, too little. I'd try to time it out. Oh, if I smoke a couple one hitters, 12 minutes before I get introduced or three minutes before the first comic goes on,

I'll be great. And it's just like- It's dangerous to do that performing. Because I've had a cut. I remember one experience at, in L.A. It was called Comedy Bang Bang. Oh, I love comedy, bang, bang.

It used to be comedy Death Ray. That's right. Incredible. Right. So then there was Bang Bang and they were doing it. You've been on the podcast before. It was Scott Okina. I don't want to.

Oh. Well, it's incredible. Dude, can I just say real quick? Put in was, oh my God. I used to live in a halfway house in Wilmington, Delaware, across the street from where my mom threw me, my surprise 18th birthday party. It was Newport Teller.

I used to sit. I used to take my computer time because we only had one computer in the house. And I used to take my computer time and sit on the desktop and watch Put-in with you and Matt Oswald. Oh, my God. I loved it so much. So funny that you brought that up because I was thinking of going on YouTube today and watching an old pudding thing. And, yeah. Is it odd or is it God, brother?

Come on. Come on. Come on. I just start hitting myself in the head of the head. Tag him. Hello, welcome to recovery's heart. This man is hitting himself on the head. It's actually...

Oh, I thought you were like, I'm going to get out of here. I'm looking at your watch already. No, I just... The Apple Watch. A lot of times I won't wear it and go analog, but today I'm wearing it. Anyway, so you were going to watch Put-in? I was going to watch Put-in. because I think it was super underrated.

It was incredible. It was amazing. It was so off the wall. Yes. And it was like no holds bar. Like we did any fucking topic. Yeah. And we had all these celebs.

We had Robin Williams. We had David Kekner. We had Michael McKee. Boy, that was cool to work with Robin Williams and Michael McKean. What was that like working with Robin and Michael? Robin was amazing in the sense that he knew his lines better than me and Matt. Well, Matt never had lines. Yeah.

As you know. That was the funniest. He was like the Garfield of like. It was brilliant. Yeah. He wrote it. It was incredible. I just watched Goodwill hunting today on the flight back and I cried during the It's Not Your Fault scene.

Did you fly back today? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I got in today at noon. Holy shit. Do you take the train from? Was it JFK, LaGuardia? JFK, I take cabs to and from the airport. The train just to...

LaGuardia is like 18 minutes from my spot. JFK took an hour to get back, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, shit. But, yeah, so Robin was just amazing, and he was so like, hey, boss. Very low-key. Yeah. But cameras go on, super funny.

And McKin was so funny. And so laid back and, just willing to do anything. And I've just been, you know, because of Rob Reiner, I've been just watching the spinal tap stuff over. Right. I can't believe how fucking talented McKeon is. And thinking of his career and he just did,

was it Glengary on Broadway? I'm not sure. I'd be lying if I said. I'm a big theater guy. I'm embedded with mincemeat right now as a reporter. I'm kidding. I'm fucking what you. What is mince meat?

Really? Yeah. And I just have gotten here to New York. It's a Broadway show. Oh. And it looks stupid in me, but who knows? Yeah. Oh, okay.

It looks like a damn funny farce. It might be, it might not be. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just making fun. I always think it's funny to say, I'm a theater guy, and I was raised in a room in La Mama. Do you remember that? I could sing Mama,

Mama Mia with you if you want. That's not theater, you know? What the fuck? You know. That's Broadway, brother. That's true, I guess. Yeah, no, I, I, did you, do you have a theater background? Yes, somewhat, yeah.

Hmm. I studied in Manhattan for theater stuff like six, seven years. Wow. Did some plays, maybe 10 years. Because you grew up in New York. And then you went to... L.A. at the age of 40, and I'm 67. No, I went to L.A. when I was 41 or two, so I've been in L.A.

Oh, wow. Too long. I want to come back. Yeah. East, because I'm... I think I've done the L.A. thing. Yeah. And I like it. I liked it.

It's weird. L.A. for me, has been hate love. Hate love. Yeah. You know? What do you hate and what do you love? I hate the sameness of the every day there in the sense of the white canvas that L.A. is. There's no change in weather mostly.

Hey, buddy. And I know a lot of people say they love that, but I'm not a fan anymore of that shit. I like the weather. How long did you stay out there? I only stay out there for like a week or two. Oh, no, no. I think the last or second and last time I was out there, I had to follow you with the improv,

and I was shitting my fucking pants. Really? Yeah, no, I just had diarrhea. I just had a bad quassah. I had a cotata and it ran through me. I couldn't help it. Oh, what? Quattata.

Yeah, no, I mean, you're a genius. You're prolific. You're incredible. You're amazing. and I was like, Jesus, fucking Christ. Just shut the fuck up and get on stage. It was a great crowd. Oh, okay.

I mean, they were loving you. Did we say hello? I don't remember meeting you. I did. And you said, don't make eye contact. I was like, Eddie, please. I said, whatever you want. Yeah, no, you went out this way and I was coming down the stairs.

So I didn't, I came in like halfway through your set and you were just like demolishing. Okay. Yeah, so where were we? We were on LA, Oh, LA, New York. Yeah, I'm simple. I like, the weather rejuvenates me. It's good to get sun.

And I love driving a car because I'm from Delaware. So driving reminds me at home. So I'm cigarette out the window. Jude's blaring. Everybody in LA drives like a pussy. I'm just like going around, speeding, you know. I like it too. But I can imagine being there the same.

and the people and the like, you know, very surface level, eyes darting everywhere you go is just like exhausting. And when I got there, when I first got there, auditions were not self-tape. They were you had to go to these fucking places. And though I kind of missed that a little because I don't see the same assholes in the audition room. and the asshole casting people and the fact that I think they get to know you in person I think these have you done self-tapes?

I haven't gotten a thing off of self-tape. I got so many things in the room booking the room. I didn't get this but the person saw me they wanted me for that. Amazing. I become a, it's almost like when the camera goes on. You know like how there was like that

VEDIC idea of like the camera will steal your soul. It's like the second the camera goes on for my self-tape, I have no soul. I have nothing behind my eyes. I'm so like just, it's terrible. Terrible. I hate it.

I hate it. I love being in the room, feeling the energy, meeting people. And I have a self-tape to tomorrow. And I'm like, what is the fucking point? What is the point of this?

Is it for, what is it for TV? For a TV show about vampires. And I, And I have to play the dopey guy who, like, gives them my blood just so I have an excuse to hang out with people. And I'm like, did they write this for me? Dude, I think, and this is someone who doesn't do good audition. Sometimes they do.

But you just have to not give a fuck. Like, you got the camera here and you very yourself. So what's the fuck? But I know when it's like, okay, you know, you have to go and you're like, hey, Tom. Mm-hmm. What's that tomato? Why are you juggling tomatoes? And you're like, you turn it off and you're like, fuck.

Yeah. You know. Yeah. And the worst is when there's two lines and I overthink that line. And I'm like, the bathroom is this way. Hold on. The bathroom? This way.

The bathroom's this way. And it's just like it plays in my mind over. And I'm like, you stupid motherfucker. What are you doing? You should have just stuck to being a carpenter. Like Jesus. Yeah? Yeah, but whatever.

Fucking, I just, I really, I'm really very cynical after living in Hollywood for that many years. I'm just cynical about the audition process, you know? Just, you're only cynical about auditions? Just auditions, you say. That's the tip of the fucking. And I spark. They call him Eddie the tip.

Tell the tip about your problems. Tell it to the tip. Tell it to the tip. What are you wanting? Of course there's no cream in a cream-filled donut. It's chemical. It's all chemicals. Nobody uses a cream no more.

It's just a scam to get you to buy the fucking donut. And once you, you bit into it. What are you going to return it? You look like an asshole. And whenever I'm in a donut, Chopped is always a pretty girl, and you don't want to look like a dick. Like, hey, I don't want, there's no cream in this donut.

Who's going to date you? And to impress her, I end up buying all the donuts. I buy them all. So she thinks I'm a good person. I hand them out. I give them to her. Come over, eat the donut. And then nine out of ten, she takes a bite of her donut and is like, you people suck them. Like, I should have went at

him. I always got a learn to believe in myself i've got to learn to believe in myself i'm eddie the tip and welcome to my first podcast called tippity iceberg eddie tips this is the portion of the pot hey who are those guys again that's jordan and that's me did you oh yeah so someone made his puppets that's jesus that's who Jesus Christ The one True Lord and Savior Yeah

If we did have a Muhammad puppet But do we Well you got rid of that one You can't draw You can't shove your hand up Yeah I was played safe

Yeah The The Muhammad puppets Yeah You know It's better safe than sorry Once I had A ventriloquist thing

And I was like Let's lose that too What do you think of our rats Someone made this for me. That's me because I wear a dress on stage sometimes. You're always smoking? Just for fuck. Are you big smoker?

Yeah, it's all I have left. Right. Yeah. I have just ice cream. Yeah. I do food. Food. Food too.

I keep doing this thing where I overeat in such a gluttonous way and I go, this is the last hurrah. After this, healthy, healthy. And then it's just, you know what? No, no. It's the same. It's a fucking same thing. Let me tell you something. When I'm home for extended periods, I kind of get into a good routine with foods a little tough,

but I'm going to the gym, I'm exercising the road. I go off the rails. I just get tired. I flew across the country from San Francisco to Boston, two shows in Boston. Next day I took a train to New York, had two shows at Union Hall. Like doing too much and being like you know what it's like You get so on as a comic That's why I used to love weed

So it would bring you down and like level you out almost Yeah well dude I'm on the road like 49 weekends of the year It's a lot It's been great I love it I enjoy it But the dysregulation of it's I'm almost better I feel more comfortable living in hotels now than I do at home because I have more of like a structured

you know like I call hotels home like I'm going home oh I date the other night I go yay I'm I'll call you when I get home yes and I'm like dude I is a fucking senesta my house what the fuck well I'm in Austin I stay there for seven days I'm like Jesus this is my fucking home now wow you know and so I feel almost more regulated on the road I'm in a spot I live out of a suitcase but I feel more comfortable that way and then when I'm here I think I feel so overwhelmed with

the passivity of being in one place and not having to like you know go here it goes there I don't know but but that's all me it's it's a simple choice I can make to like get off my ass and make it uh more of like a regulated thing enjoy the downtime is what I have come to yeah you know what I mean like I used to I mean so many comments have to perform, I don't know, five, six times a week. Yeah. Something like that. And I used to be one of those guys and I'm, I don't anymore.

Even though COVID, I knew I was, I knew I was a stage junkie because during COVID, I got depressed and I was like, why am I depressed? Yeah. I like Netflix. I like the fact that people are dying around. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It makes me feel good. Now they know how I feel on the inside. This is great.

I'm Eddie the tip. Today we're talking about COVID and how it was enjoyable in certain aspects. I totally agree that New York opened up before anyone else in terms of stand up because we had parks, we had the street, we had roofs. Right. I mean, and roofs are awesome. And I knew, like you said, the stage junkie thing because I'm riding a bicycle to do a space. at the big tree in Central Park and I got to go to Brooklyn and do stand up under a fucking bridge, you know, and I'm like, I got to get to my bridge spot, you know? But it kept us. And we weren't, but that helped me in a way because I was like, dude, this is for nothing but the fact that we have to do this.

I'm not going to work on, I got to get these jokes out and this. So I literally was going on stage, stage, ranting, yelling, gesticulating. And it almost turned me, it did turn me into what I am now because I, before COVID, I was very much like a just stand in place guy and I felt like I was going to die. And now I'm so like wild. So COVID. Yeah, it helped open me up because I was like, none of this fucking matters. And half the time we didn't have a fucking microphone.

So people would just sit and talk and I would stomp through the crowd and like yell at people. Awesome. It picks shit up and it really like. So again, man, like say what you want, but I'm glad COVID happened for me. You know, I'm glad. Dude, you know what he comes on. And because I got to level up on my craft.

Gragling? Is this better? But this one's warm to my touch. But yeah. No, I get it. I get it. In L.A. too, I remember my first show was at a baseball field in Oxnard. And Oxnard was a ways away.

And I just remember just this huge baseball field. But people put chairs, you know, up front. And, you know, it was weird. I remember I had my friend come by and all we were talking about was, dude this was before 2016 when was COVID actually no what no no COVID was 2020 right yeah right yes 2012 yeah this is Eddie the tip and I'm not feeling good as a lot of you know I'm sundowning a lot of you misconstrued it and thought I was going to the beach and getting a tan.

No, no, my brain is kind of going south. Anyway, in 2020, I guess me and my friend were talking about if Trump won. You remember when Biden beat Trump? Yeah, and everyone was just like, but I was at a park from that happened. You what? I was at a park playing like catch and football, and everyone is just like frolicking and like because Biden won. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right. But I remember I was talking to my friend. Because you know when someone wins an election, everything changes. Well, this time it sure is fucked it. I know. The one time in history, it is just the next day it's unbelievable. Yeah, yeah, I know. But me and my friend were going, I remember, you know, before the show,

what are we going to do? If he gets elected, should we go to Canada, that kind of show? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have friends leaving. now. Really? I have one him and his wife are going to Spain another

friend is going to I mean regardless of the political climate going to another country is so smart because of our economy and how expensive things have gotten and the you know the technocratic insanity that's

happening like going it I I just went, I did comedy on a, on this emo's not dead cruise. And, yeah, we left Miami. Do you know emo music at all? Very little. Give me an example. Like, um. Sing it or like, uh, mimic it.

I chimed in with, haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door? No. You're kidding. Oh. That's hilarious. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Or like, like, the lyrics are very like, um, uh, cut my eyes in black my heart. Like that kind of stuff. What's the music like? It's like emotional punky, but with like melodies and like some is screaming. Some is like very emotional. Do you like? What do you like? I'll recommend something that would be an easy step into the pool of this.

My taste can be. You look like you only listen to Buennavisha social club. That's funny. My tasting music can be summed up with one song, The Tale of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I don't know that. He knows. What is it, Patrick?

Oh, are you kidding? You fake the fuck, motherfucker. Oh, Eddie. Everything you say is nice. I'm going to play it. Everything you say is nice. That's funny. I'm going to play it.

I'll get to monetize. You'll, uh, oh, we can't. You sing it. Fuck it. Sing it to me. No, I can't. Come on, man. The chippewa down with the morning and down in the sale, on the sails all the rising.

The ship went down and we lost 50 souls on the cunning. So anyway, I was kidding about that, but. I love... That was kind of good. I love old rock because I, you know, I'm one of these... Am I a boomer? I'm 67. I don't even know what I am.

Are you... I don't either. There's a lot of comics who are so into that. Like, Jedda... Are you? You're not either. Like, I don't know. I don't think it matters.

I don't know if I'm Gen X or millennial. I'm me and I probably... I don't like... Like, some people are like, you think like a boomer or other times. I'm like, you're like a millennial. I'm like, I don't know what the fuck I am. I always tell them, I'm timeless, you know? Yeah.

I'm timeless. I'm, you cannot categorize me. No. I feel like how old's a vampire? What are they? I'm a vampire. You know? I think the key is just being open.

Yeah. You know? Mm-hmm. People get locked into, like, belief systems. Well, it's like this weird. DNA primal thing of like, I have to categorize you so then I can know how to assess you and your threat to me. And it's like very much like, dude, everybody, it's, I've never felt this way before my entire life of like where it's gotten where it's like you are this and that and you are. And anyone that kind of oscillates in between is like, it's almost like worse.

Because at least if you're in one box at like there's people can identify. like everything about but if you go in between it's almost like too much brain power it takes to understand wait there's nuance no no no no not not not to you know you got to be one thing or the other you know yeah yeah yeah but i i'm i'm like i am um a bicycling bisexual bipolar bi coastal i can't pick a whole let alone aside okay you can't what pick a hole let alone aside so what do you What? Oh, my God. I'm Ian the tip, and the tip is my cock.

I'm the tip. My guest is a freak. Hey, everybody, I'm the freak. He's a freak. My wife said, don't get him. Don't let him in the house. And I said, don't worry, we got cameras and an alarm system. What's he going to do?

He's been going around kissing the lips of all the paintings in my house. This guy's not so. Come here, Glenn. Oh. So I feel like you're like an old rock guy. Yes. I am, I just got Christopher Cross's Roomful of Mir's, the Hendrix's biography. The what?

Jimmy Hendricks's biography. Are you into Hendricks? I love Hendricks. So much. Oh, yeah. I love Hendricks too. And I have this snobby thing that I grew up with the absolute best rock music. Right.

So I begrudgingly, but I listen to new bands and I like, I like a, I love this new band, the Talking Heads. Have you heard of them? I honestly, they are on my radar, but they're kind of like too new. I like kind of older stuff. No, I love David Byrne and I love all the shit that he's doing theatrically. Do you like that stuff that Byrne is doing? I like anytime someone is weird.

and like not just the thing that you think they're going to be always you know like I I had I had a poster Jimmy Hendricks on my bedroom door that said the guy I wrote I had a poster and I wrote in black the god of music and I wanted to be him I was into like classic rock and everything and then I found like punk music and I remember like taking that poster down and like putting up like yeah like got into punk no and my boss money JT who I'm meeting and I tour with, he's a punk freak. He used to sing for some punk band. Really? He's going to see tonight, off with your heads. Do you know this? I love off with your heads. Yeah, you would love J.T.

Matter of fact, you might meet him when. Where are they playing? He said in Williamsburg. Oh, dude. Where would not be in Williamsburg? I have a girl coming that I really like and I'm excited. And I take her to the, the, Maybe not.

I would like to, but honestly, I'm so tired. Maybe I'll float a buyer. But I'd love to see off with your heads. They're great. What time did you get up today to be here by? I got up at 4.30. Yes, dude. And I had a 7 a.m. flight.

Dude, those. And I've done that recently a couple of times. And I just, I'm gone for that day. Like, I'll have a burst of energy like this. And then the rest of the day is sort of like I'm in. a dream life. Well, I got back at around like one, and I was clean up the apartment and everything, and I was like, all right,

I got to go here. I got to get these errands done. I go, you know what? You had a bunch of shit to do? I'm just going to lay on the couch. Well, so this girl is coming, and I really like her. And I bought a plane ticket to get through TSA to meet her at her gate because I can cancel and get my money back because I'm like diamond medallion. So I have to go to the store and get, like, a sign to do like an inside joke

when she, like, gets her, you know? and also I have to get toilet paper because when I get back from planes I like to make stinky and I'm running out so I have these errands and I go you know what I'm just gonna sit on the couch for me I gotta kind of rest my eyes

did you go out like a light? Oh I woke up and there's two cats on me and like where's you run? You have two? Yeah yeah the other one's Samson he's a little shy at first he came out when I went upstairs but he's on my neck

he's on my lap I'm like in cat heaven But you know when you knock out and you take a quick nap and you wake up into panic, I'm thinking I woke up tomorrow, you're like banging on my door. I'm like, oh, my God. Oh, God. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, how long did you go out for? Did it turn out?

20 minutes. Oh, that's it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Man, Glenn is a beautiful cat. He's great, right? Cats are. You're a cat guy.

Me too. Cat and dog. Yeah, dogs. The older I get. Dogs even. I love. They're both beautiful and incredible. They're incredible creatures.

Yes. Both. And cats have a certain majesty. Mm-hmm. You know. Well, they're apex predators that... What does that mean? Like a top-tier predator in their DNA.

Oh, yeah. And they're like, they've scientifically, like, evolved to be the perfect creature with, like, their speed and hunting skills. But yet somehow... Domesticate. He's just, like, hanging out, letting us, like, pet him. But this guy could tear him. the head off of a fucking thing in a heartbeat. Yeah, yeah.

But I, dude, living in New York, dogs have kind of, I love dogs. I grew up with dogs. What happens in New York with doggies? People bring their dogs into coffee shops on the street. The dog runs at you, barks you. I've been in that coffee shop we went to. I've been in there and someone will have a dog and be like, oh, that dog's so cute. And they go, he's not friendly.

He's not friendly. And it's like, why did you bring the dog in? Yeah. What are you talking about? Yeah. And it's stuff like that that like sticks on me and I'm like, it's not the dog though. No, it's the idiot.

It's the person. It's the idiots who own the dog. So I love dogs, but I feel like dog people have ruined dogs for me. Yeah. God, I love dogs. Anyway, anyway, what were we talking about? Music and I love just good rock. But I go to, everybody goes through different.

I love so much, but, like, I get into this sad period. Like, yesterday, I was missing my dog. And if you go to my Instagram at Eddie Pep, I put up a picture of my dog, and underneath the audio is, Mad World. Happens again all up to the day. Yeah, yeah, find it kind of funny.

Find it kind of sad. The dreams in which. I'm dying are the best. But I love good, sad music. Do you like Elliot Smith? No. You don't. No.

I've never got into him. The saddest, he did like a lot of the stuff in Goodwell hunting, but he committed suicide by stabbing himself in the chest. See, which is like a really, you really wanted it. You know, if you stab yourself at the chest, there's no question. I feel like if you're stabbing yourself in the chest, there's no question. First of all, that's a big red flag. You know, I guess he wasn't going to therapy. Even though therapists, they can help sometimes.

Are you into therapy? Yeah. I've been into therapy my whole life. I think now I've come to the realization that it's up to me. Like I always thought they were going to get me better. I kind of did. But now I know they can only steer me. Yeah.

It's like... And I have to be the one who does the work. Yeah. I mean, literally, if you break it down the way I feel about it is fundamentally, we are houses that are broken. We don't have walls, which are boundaries. We don't have a roof to protect us. our foundations are cracked.

And the therapist is basically like a journeyman carpenter. And we can either just watch them and have them tell us how to fix it and be like, oh, that's interesting to know that. Or we can take the tools they give us and actually rebuild our foundation. We can build those walls. We can fix our house through the things they give us. But a lot of people just want to talk about the house rather than actually fix and build the house. And I realized, and I still have sessions like that, you know, where I'm so, me, my therapist, she's gray, we talk about it.

It's like we're so head-centered, cerebral. And it's about, it's about going into your body and like your whole fucking organ. is um like your brain your brain is only a small part of your consciousness like it's kind of very very Buddhist and I don't expect you to um stay with me well that could be taken many ways and I choose to take it as a very insulting way to speak to me but you know what when you when you told me you're a big fan of Elliott smith a certain part of me died here. Interesting.

No, I'm kidding. Wow. When you started bringing up theater and Broadway, a part of me emotionally left the building. Yeah, I mean, I think therapy is great, but I know I've fallen into the path of the update therapy complained. Like, let me update you all my week. Here's what's happened, and I'm going to hone in on one interaction rather than, but, you know. Do you go to therapy? still? I do, yeah. But because of my schedule and the travel and everything, I haven't been

every week. I do it on Zoom. But I do, but there's this like near, I'm an idiot and I tell him like, oh, I'm going to be out of town next week. And once he knows that, you're not allowed to get therapy out of state if you're out of state because he's New York State certified. So, but I've been supplementing that with going to the, I'm everybody knows 12 steps. I'm sober. Yeah, yeah. So, so, so I, so I, so I, so I, so. So, so I Do you like them the 12-step? I do. I do. I do.

I really do. Yeah. I've gotten out of the, what would it be? I've gotten out of the routine of that. And now when I think about, like I, I don't know if I said, but I have eight-plus months sober. Yeah, I don't know if I said. Yeah. From weed and every, I don't drink.

So I'm completely sober. And I've used to go to a lot of AA meetings for marijuana. Yeah. Anyway. And I like, I like, there were always some gems in the meetings. But now when you don't get used to it, I'm like, I don't want to take out three hours of my afternoon because I got to get there and then I got to. And then after, you know, and I don't want to do it. Yeah.

I find that, because I've been going to meetings for so long since like 2008 and I'm only coming up on 11 years. So I definitely had clean time and I'd, you know, fall. That's pretty good. Eleven of everything. Yeah. I'm, I'm so excited, man. I mean, it's coming up in April, God willing, but, you know, all we have is today, brother.

And I... And this is Eddie the tip saying, today's too much. Everybody's like, what do you mean? All we have is today. I got something going on Wednesday. Bullshit. Bullshit.

Bullshit. It's only today, and today's already a pain in the ass. So if you think about tomorrow, you're going to be knocked on that ass. So just keep it in today. And that's Eddie's tip from Eddie the tip. Let me ask you something, because I really feel like going into character like that and opens up my comedy brain. Do you do it on stage?

I do, yeah. I don't do it enough. I have really been enjoying when, like, We just picked up on like that little thing and then we went into that world. I've been enjoying, like you said, being very cerebral, being very stream of consciousness. And when something happens, I'll break into like a character, like almost like mocking the moment I just made or like taking something from that and then breaking into another thing and going in and out. That's being so present. That's what I've been working on. And I truly feel so present on stage.

And, you know, a friend of mine, and I've really been working on this. I was talking about my misery and my proclivity for, well, yeah. And then offstage to my friend who came to, you know, sometimes I have friends just roll around with me in steady spots and everything. It's really fun. But yeah. Yeah, yeah. And so, you know, I'm like, I'm going to sound like such a fucking cock sucker, but I'm only

saying it for the juxtaposition of what it is but i was doing i was doing so well on stage like in the moment crushing and everything is you know and then i get off stage to her and i go i'm miserable again you know and she goes that's because you're only allowing yourself to be happy one moment of the day and you build everything up to if i do well on stage then i'll i'll be good and then you get off stage and you got fucking nothing and i was like you fucking correct she's pretty insightful yeah She's sober too, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I've been really trying to focus my, like, not making stand-up my be-all-end-all. And ever since I've been, like, fulfilled everywhere else, the giddiness I feel with stand-up is, like, there's not as much pressure as, like, if this goes bad, then my whole day is bad, you know.

And I've been feeling so present, and that's been such a gift. Yes, yes. as well as being able to lock it in on stage to the full, like, wavelength at that moment. Yeah. Yeah, I'm really, really having fun and enjoying it. What triggered you being more? I do DMT. I do DMT every day when I wake up.

And then I... Don't answer it. You know, ephemeral artery? I shoot that. I'm a full of it. No, I mean, making. I'm not here. Literally.

Making a conscious decision to try. And following that fear of what if I don't do it well enough and being okay with that. Hey, Glenn. And that has been something that I've really, really been enjoying. And I've been having more fun on stage and off than I have in like a very long time. But I feel like you're very much the same way. Like it seems as if, you know, We're very sympathical, I think, with that stuff.

I'll tell you, though, man, I'll tell you, I still, and maybe on the road more, I am, I have such anxiety in general, and I'm conscious of it now, you know, and I try to stay with it, meaning, you know, I'm not going to eat because I'm anxious, I'm not going to watch a movie. You know, even I do both things. I eat and watch movies, but I now being... That's terrible. You gotta cut those two things out.

How many of the tip? And today I ate and I'm ashamed. I had a salad and then I watched Little Caesar with Edward G. And I'm fucking shameful. I got to be on. I want to put a gun to my head. I thought I'd treat myself to Beetlejuice. It was on TNT, and I deserve death.

I thought I'd treat myself to Beetle juice, and I also had a creme brulee. I got a creme brulee machine. I knew it was going to be trouble. My friend said you could make your own creme brulee in 10 minutes. And you're saying, have a creme brulein, not so bad. I had locked the creme brulee machine in storage,

and I decided to go down and reopen my storage unit, brought the creme brulee machine, not even in the kitchen. It's on my couch, so I can understand why I want to die a thousand deaths. I love glazing the sugar, and I love cracking it with that spoon. Anyway. My name is the tip, and I'm in trouble psychologically. Welcome to my prison.

My prison is psychic. I am the prisoner and the warden. No, but so it's like to be present, man, it's, man, it's so much, but you have to be okay with being imperfect. Yeah. I don't know. Do you have perfectionism? all kind of addict personalities do.

I, I, you've gotten better. I've gotten so much better with it, but my perfectionism fuels a cycle of self-hatred towards me because it's not what it is, and that's because I fucking suck, and I'm fucking terrible. And it's like that,

it's like that they go together. And my failure to be absolutely perfect fuels the hatred and shame and self vileness that can arise and then and then I go you fucking are hating yourself again you stupid piece of shit right no so it's all about then

coming back to the present moment and going just be Eddie just accept except that you're anxious except that you're you're not an enlightened being. You're human. Just accept your humanity like shit like that.

I don't know if this is getting too touchy, feeling. But the tip, I go to places a lot of my mobster friends won't. They won't go deep inside unless it's in someone else. You know, I'm going to tell you, if you got a problem, write it on a piece of paper. Send it in and we'll shove it up some Finook's ass. Sue decided to be a fucking rat. Okay?

This is our time. And you're lucky we're sharing it with you. Okay? If you got a problem, write it on a piece of paper. And then go fuck yourself. Jizz, on that paper, because that's what it's worth. Yeah, I mean, I, um... So, wait, what did you just say that...

About the key to healing... This, it all sounds pretentious and like, but the key to healing is to constantly accepting yourself. Oh, yeah. Constantly. Yeah. I have really been working at when I find myself in a loop, when I find myself feeling those ways, recognizing and instead of reacting in anger and self-hatred going, oh, man,

you're almost like making friends with it again. Like, there he is. Making friends. Look who decided to show up. And then I go, I'm not answering the door, pal. Sorry. You know what the Buddha says? The Buddha says, invite that demon in and have a cup of tea with it.

I don't know if you ever heard that parable. No, I haven't. But, yeah, instead of saying I'm not answering the door, you know, you're like, all right, come on in, lust, whatever it is. You know, hey, lust, I know. know we want to fuck everybody. I know. But you know what? Let's just be here right now.

Oh, you're taking your, taking your coat off. That's fine. Let's take it off. It's hot here. God, you got nice tits, Les.

God, Lust. Oh, my God. I want to sniff your seat. Can I ask you something, Lust? Are you on your period? Yeah,

no, I mean, dude, honestly, I have, so I've been in jail more times. in sobriety than I was drinking. Is that right? Which is how fucking nuts I am.

Well, you know. And the instances I've been in jail, the instances I've been something as simple as... What happened? Can you talk about it? Yeah, just like weapons charges. Nothing too bad, you know? Not a little scratch hole and a guy I know on the outside.

We're talking about weapons charges. Oh, yeah. They think you can take them away? The times I've been in jail, sober, the times I've been, I've missed a flight, and there's nothing I can do. The times I'm driving through a snowstorm and I have to go 10 miles an hour or else I will go off the road. These moments, I find myself on a level of radical acceptance because there is no other thing to do. Nothing will change a circumstance. I am stuck in the tombs with 20 other men.

I cannot leave. I cannot escape if I obsess about when I'll see the judge. Where's it going to get me? And in those moments... So it's a teacher. It's almost like in those moments. I found myself literally laying on a bench in jail, smiling because I have no other option but to say this is what it is.

And any mental things I do is only going. to make it worse, make me spin out and make me lose it, and what's that going to get me? And so I've been trying to take that feeling and apply that to other stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because I get pissed if I go into a coffee shop and there's a wine and somebody's pain and have it and they're like, oh, and I get upset.

Yeah. Oh, I do too. I mean, I still get like, what the fuck. Like, why, what, it's like, what is impatient? Why am I so fucking in. Well, then, yeah, I'll see it. And sometimes I'll, like, if I'm with a friend or whatever, I'll start to, like, use them for them to hear me, be like,

this is fucking horseshit. Can you fucking believe this? I'm like, dude, relax. I'm like, oh, yeah, you're right. But, uh, I think that those moments are, like, very real. Like, you can't control your thoughts, but you can control how long you think them. I can't control that, like, seeing someone taking forever to order

when they should have already had their fucking order ready and they don't know that I and then this is usually everything I hate or dislike in someone else or some situation is a reflection to me so when I'm mad and I go they should have known their fucking order I'm I'm running late and it's like well yeah because you woke up late and if you had

woken up on time you wouldn't be in such a rush and you let this flow through you but now this is making you more late because you don't respect people's time right you know right but it's it's hard to like do that you know you ever it feels so good to give in and just be fucking angry right we think our anger is giving us power or going to change something you ever hear this phrase accusation um when you accuse somebody you're you're admitting guilt no the same thing it's kind of the same thing you said about I'm mad at somebody.

It's something in themselves. Same type of thing. Interesting. Yeah. Accusation is an admission of guilt. Wow. Yeah. Put that on your little 12-step wall.

Yeah. What do you think of that? I am going to tip, and today we're talking about alternative phrases. How come on these 12-step groups, all we have is live and let live? Come on. We could do better. Dude, I do feel better

Leaving those places and when I go But then my brain is like, don't go, dude, fuck it You don't want to fucking do that You know? Yeah, but when you go, then you're feeling better after. I've been going to I've been going to N.A. meetings And it's just like me and all these Like amazing older like black crackheads

With the most gratitude and like joy you'll ever feel in your entire life And it feels so good. You know? What's your thing? Alcohol. It is alcohol. Yeah, yeah. Interesting.

Yeah, so I drank alcoholically like the way someone would like shoot dope. Wow. And what was your favorite? Everything or? Crystal Palace vodka. Is that right? Yeah, 1199 for a half gallon plastic bottle. That's my favorite.

And Canadian Club whiskey. Hi. I used to work for DoorDash and I delivered to this guy so many bottles of Crystal Palace. that I started getting a tumor. Don't ask me how to tour connected, but I think I just came to his place too many times, and I thought about the damage he was doing himself, and I started to attack myself with the tumor.

I'm Eddie the tip, and these are my DoorDash days. DoorDash days. Tales from the dash. Tales from the dash. A lot of people talk about dashboard cameras. I didn't have one when I was do a dashing. Did you ever watch TaxiCab Confessions and all those shows?

Do you remember those shows? Yeah, I do. And I remember, I'll tell you, I remember. Were you in New York around that time when that was? I think so. When that was like, yeah, you were in New York in the 90s. Yeah. I didn't leave until about 2003 or 2003.

I get it. Towers came down, I was gone. You got to put, you know, you got to get out of town after you put the bombs in the towers. You don't want to get caught. When that first tower came down, I thought, my God, the first thing I thought of,

this is going to be a great vehicle for Nick Cage. And I knew I belonged in L.A. That was wild. That movie came out so quick after 9-11. They all do. Like I was, I was noodling around, I don't know, HBO last night. And there's already shit out on Rob Reiner. Come on, let it breathe.

No, right. Are you serious? Yeah. It's so crazy. Those are just money grabs. Like, everybody's into this now. Yeah. And everything is like a loosely based documentary on these events now.

Like even a fictionalized version still has sprinkles of like the truth. It's just like we're watching repurposed history. that happened six months before us come out as like a movie as entertainment. It's crazy. Yeah. And society's so dumb that people see something like that and think that that's like real.

Like this actually had, there is a Wakanda. You're like, what? A what? A Wakanda. What's that? Huh? A Wakanda? You know?

Black Panther. Wakanda. No. Black heaven? You don't know about it? You serious? No. I'm pretty up on the black panthers.

I pride myself on knowing that they will arm themselves. And, man, I've been watching, man, Instagram. Yeah. I go in this loop of radical resistance based on ice on Instagram, meaning all these videos, all the, you know what I'm talking about? What do you mean radical resistance? Well, you know, socially, like, you know, everybody's talking about tearing it all down now. Of course.

Yeah. Because the system doesn't work anymore. Yeah. We're in, you know, I know different periods of time have said this, but we are in insane times. You're in the Caliuga. We are in a despicably evil timeline. Right now. Yeah.

And by the way, I feel. like comedians don't address it. It's crazy. It's crazy. Do you find that? Yeah. And then I find when I do, people are like you're a liberal cuck

fucking gay loser. And I'm like, oh, for saying that. Not in New York, right? This is mostly on the internet. Like, I just went down to Austin and I did some of these podcasts and I'm like, yeah, ICE is bad. Like, what's happening is horrific.

They're saying it isn't bad. They're like, well, you know, what? I haven't even picked a side yet. And I'm like, are you ever picked a side? Are you crazy? That's depressing to me. Yeah. I just then, in my elitism, say, there's such a swath of idiots in this country.

There is, but I, see, I struggle between, I feel like I'm like an optimistic nihilist, where I'm like, it's over, it's terrible, we're done. why not laugh and smile and enjoy and try to like give a little sprinkle of of joy along the way and like even though these are swaths of idiocy lunatic morons what if we can have a conversation to where they won't feel as hateful and dumb as they currently are like I don't know I still think Like one of my best friends is like a huge MAGA guy and I won't turn my back on them. You won't, huh? No.

And we talk. I think it's time to release the MAGA guys. I don't know, man. I still. Like get the way from me. I'm like an idealist in like you're falling off the clip. Grab my hand and we can pull you up and find common ground. But maybe I'm.

I don't know. I just don't because I feel like if I go, yeah, fuck them. I'll be. I'll be fully accepting that the ship is sinking, and I know the ship is sinking, but my defense mechanism is acting as if it isn't, and I'm trying to find ways to get pass out without feeling so much anger about it. Does that make sense?

I get it. I think you're quite wrong. And that's what this podcast is about. Confronting friends who are assholes. Yeah, I think if there's still MAGA after what has gone down, if there's still MAGA now after watching ICE be the Gestapo. Yeah. And the Epstein files, knowing that they're pedophiles,

that, you know, if you're into MAGA, I'm not into you. I'm sorry. Yeah. I know what you're saying because I'm a humanist, too. It's like, oh, it's Dave. I love Dave. But you know what? I struggle, Dave.

I struggle with that, man, because a part of me is like, fuck you, you stupid fucking piece of shit. How can you not see this? Where's your humanity? Where's your empathy? Where's your ability to put yourself in someone's shoes or think what would happen if my fucking family had to live in fear in what is happening? And then the the It infuriates me when people go

They're here illegally Shouldn't have broken the law Oh have you ever have you ever Have you ever broken the speed limit Have you ever gotten a fucking ticket? Fuck you dude Well the whole It's infuriating and that makes me so angry

But when I have I don't know I just have a soft spot For a couple people in my life That I just can't I get it you know I get it you know It's yeah, but I still have this idealistic image of like not preaching to people to change, but by seeing, I have this hope that like people can see me and the way I feel and it's not what they feel, but they can. Like I like going to small towns and having them like me with my act and then revealing that I'm queer, bisexual.

and so I'm not the image that they have of what that is. So maybe not everything you think you know is this rigid image. And like there's a lot more people that are like me that you don't even know are this. And so I try to like win them over that way, I guess. Or like I just want to change people's minds to think that they're not, we are not as like evil and like terrible like leftist losers as they think. Like there's more common ground. And maybe I'm losing the battle, but I don't want to like give that up.

But I don't know. Why are they so mad at left this? Because they've been fucking brainwashed to think that like they're, it's so insane. They're like socialists. Get out of my pocket. I don't want to help you. And then and then their friend will break their neck on a construction site. And they're like, hey, sign up for my buddies.

Go fund me. It's like, that's what this is. Yeah. Anyway. Anyway, I don't want to get two. No, no, no, no, of course. Fuck. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, man. It is frustrating. And it is, so how do you deal with that knowing that the ship's sinking? What do you do? What do you? Can we come back?

Like, I think that, and it's online with our other stuff talking about being present. I think that I have to, like, kind of. realized that I'm very afraid about the ship going down because I am. I'm afraid about, you know, society. Yeah, of course. Because it could come to you at any time, you know. People are on edge. You may say the wrong thing to somebody and they fucking go ape shit.

Yeah. You know, but so I think I am as a comedian, you know, I still, want to be really funny but I but I want to talk about it of course I don't want to just be a comic who goes up there and just talks about their sex life yeah yeah you know I think there's such a gift in the madness and the the ability to tap into the psychic madness and mania that we're all feeling while allowing laughter to breathe within that. And I think people relate to that more than being talked at or lectured or anything, you know, like. That's true.

That's always I have to watch that line of like. Yeah, but that's what I admire so much about you, man. It's like you've like changed people's thinking and open people up to so many different things for just being you and allowing yourself to be a conduit of this, you know, like. madness with a message and not just, you know, like a whiny thing. Like, it's like there's so much beef and meaning behind the things you say. And it's so incredible to watch. And that's why like you're so many people's favorite. You know, it's.

I think that the key to doing that stuff is first, I think you said to his first, too, is first show them how broken you are, you know? Yeah. Like don't come at them. Yeah. Like, I'm better than you. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, let them know, and this is true, that I'm super broken.

Yeah. You know? And my, my elitism or my snobbery comes out of such fear. Yeah. Yeah. Totally. Totally. Yeah.

Just like that accusation is a form of guilt. Like anything, it's like, dude, a million different types of fear. self-loathing, self-obsession. And it's almost like once you crack that and the layers peel back, it's like, they're like, oh, I relate to this more, you know, because again, like, that's a lot of people aren't willing to admit that stuff, you know. And also what's helped me personally is I've completely radicalized my algorithm to where I am, I don't, like, I'm aware of this stuff, but I do not go down those holes.

And my algorithm, like what I look at on my phone, I spend hours looking at it. like cat videos or like dog, interspecies animal happiness, you know, like this dog gets along with a bear. I make fun of that. I say, I say, if I watch a docson

playing with an owl, I'm a puddle. You ever watch a donkey playing with a frog? It's fucking heartbreaking. Call me a bottle. Step on me, okay? I'm not that deep.

I don't know what to tell you. I just want to be shallow and happy. I saw a squirrel riding a turtle, and I couldn't say a sentence for an hour and a half. I was crying so hard. And you know why you and I are great, because I'm the opposite. I couldn't say a sentence because I was smiling so big.

Yeah. To me, I get super sad. that we live in such a beautiful world. And yet the majority of people choose hate. You know what's interesting is that, is what, that you've been petting that cat the whole time? I love Glenn. He's great, right?

He's a star. What's interesting? And then we'll wrap up. Yeah, I just think it's so interesting that I feel like, and I think you do too, basically people are great and you know it's like that is really why we continue on because we know that I don't know if you want to call it higher power or what but we know that it's love yeah that drives yeah yeah you know and I know it's still in there and I want to slowly crack a hole open

So it spreads out more and I don't want to give up on that. Yeah. You know? Yeah, I think that's a great thing to remember when you're on stage, you know. But I also want to grab people by the fucking throat and go, there's fucking love in there. Let it out, you motherfucker. Right.

Love someone more than yourself, you stupid piece of shit. You'll watch a video of an owl and a turtle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And get your act together. Look at this. Look at this. Just peeling their eyes back like a clockwork orange. of just inner species love.

This is a snick, a doodle and an elephant. You're telling me there's no love? Oh, Glenn. I look at your eyes and I know there's love. I know. Such a good fella. Well, man. But thank you for having me.
