Hey guys, it's us The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast?

Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen.

We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, S&L's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.

Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smygle and friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. The story I told myself can then shape my behavior, and that can lead me to sabotage the possibility of connection. This Mental Health Awareness Month, tune into the podcast Deeply Well with Debbie Brown. If you've been searching for a soft place to land while doing the work to become whole, this podcast is for you to hear more.

Listen to Deeply Well with Debbie Brown from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you can. get your podcast. Where we go, dude, we're fucking, we're gonna, the only way to it is through it, boys. And the greatest, most reliable vehicle helps you get anywhere from point A to point B. And that is the outstanding, the durable, reliable, Chevy Silverado.

We know every team starts, every team starts the season undefeed. For the first month. We need to up. Everyone has a shot. And one team has already won at all. The New York Giants. You, dude.

I'm not going to do podcast with you anymore. You keep doing this. I'm sorry to you. I'm also speaking to... According to JD Power, Chevy is the most awarded brand of new vehicle quality. And the Chevy Trucks has won more

new vehicle quality awards than any other brand. That's some serious hardware. But champions don't stop. They keep moving forward, and that's what Silverado is all about. From the L-T model to the most extreme Silverado ever,

the ZR2. Chevy gave the Silverado a new interior with a larger infotainment screen and digital instrument cluster. They gave it a towing technology and up to 14 available camera views. It's always truck season here at Boston,

but now it's also tailgate season. And what better way to roll up to a tailgate than in a Chevy Silverado boasting a larger, more functional bed than any other competitor? I don't know why we don't scroll down when I'm on the last line. And I'm projecting because I'm mad right now.

So this is not on... He's probably the wrong person to project to as well because when you say something that could project Jack, it's just the fucking... Head over to Chevy.com to learn more about Chevy Silverwater for JD Power 2020 U.S. award information. Visit jd.power.com slash awards. Hey, Jack, let's be better.

And then you would say... I'm not here to say things to me. Oh, he's already into this shit. Well... Hey, he fucking hurts. He vibes up. Hey, hey, guys, let's bring the vibes up. I know we're all.

working through this. Trust me, everybody listening right now, this is a new thing for us. And the thing that's rattling in my mind right now is there's some dude in Cookville, Tennessee,

being live, that boy should be playing football right now, not playing, not being on this damn mic, playing with his friends. But I was thinking about that earlier and I'm thinking like,

it's so I think everybody tuning in is more like for the boys. But there's somebody like taking time out of their day to see if you in that phenomenal hoodie. Thank you.

on a podcast because we'll probably be in this intro for maybe 20 minutes. And then just wants the keyboard warrior it up. Like, what a fucking loser. Dude, here's the best part, dude. I'm wearing Kevlar. And the best Kevlar I have is I won't even fucking see it, dude. So what's Kevlar? Kevlar vest, like a bulletproof vest.

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all right, dude. I can't read. You don't know words. It's all good, dude. We're going to be straight here. So here's what we should do.

You just let the hate out. Dude, if you're on YouTube right now or anything, just fucking put the comments in there. Put the negative comments in there. You know why? Because we'll just stack that negativity on top of the beautiful foundation we have of good vibes. And we're going to keep rolling forward.

That's what we're going to keep doing, dude. Each week's a new week. And listen, we play a couple of nine-year guys here. A couple of nine-year guys. Nine-year guys. Nine-year vets. You lose games, dude. It happens.

And listen, I'm sick. I didn't fall asleep until 2.30 last night. Doing nothing. Just staring at my phone, wondering which way's up. And by the way, Taylor never just text me this. Taylor just texted me last night What are you up to?

Yeah, I was hot, dude. I'm like... I was watching the game and searching for candidates for the next Nebraska job. He did say that. What you really did he get into? What are you doing?

Here's what I'll say about... Because I know you want to ask questions and there's always that weird thing of like, what do you want to talk about? What do you know? I'll just do it for you. We got to score more points. I didn't.

I wasn't, you know. We got to score more points. You know? You want to ask questions? about the game, let me ask him first. Yeah. You ask more points, dude. Fucking.

A couple of good things, though. Saw a lot of things out there that's like real positive that, oh, this is cool. Hey, this guy looks pretty good. So. No, we got the whole bet the bus show going on right now. Our bet the bus game of the week was Tampa Bay last night over Dallas. Locked. Yeah.

That got hurt too, yeah. Poor boy. The bet the boys parlay almost fucking. hit, we missed it, literally missed it by a total of five points. Three teams. Will. How'd your bets go this weekend? Bet the bus.

I mean, we won the majority of those bets. If you listen to bet the bus. Okay. We went one in one on college. Nebraska. Listen, we can get into that after we talk about this. Yeah, we definitely need to get into that. Tennessee.

Shout out to Valls. covered. Who else did I bet on in the NFL, the NFL games? What about you? You bet on Michigan? No, because it was all so high. Like I said, those are games that made me uncomfortable. It was like, Michigan favored by like 50-something points.

And I was like, yeah. Oh, we didn't cover then, right? I think it was 51, 52. They might have. I mean, they beat them with, they were up like 40-something-nothing at one point. It was like 40-something-nothing in the third quarter with Michigan. But I did say a Michigan.

She was going to mop the floor with them, you know, at responsibly. And then the... Your quarterback plays hit. Derek Carr hit. And I want to say Kirk hit. Aaron Rogers did not hit. No, I didn't do the NFL ones. You'd have to check the tape from the show on that.

I can't remember the games I bet exactly. The bet the boys' barlet was all money lines. It was commanders. Yeah, all the boys' teams. Titans, commanders and Raiders. And commanders was the one I was most worried about. They come out beat Jacksonville was hype. I was like, oh, and then we were up 13-0.

I was like, oh, my God, we're fucking living. Like, payoff Willie's about to be alive and well. Then we lost by one point. Obviously, that field goal was tough. And then the Raiders lost by four points or five points to the chart. Wait, what they lose? 24, 2019. So a total of six points.

It's a total of six points. My fault. They lost by five, and they had five turnovers. So personally, I think we're looking up with the bet the boys parlay For a first time too, it sounds like you guys Right. Yeah. Yeah.

You're proud of what you did. Yeah. First game. First weekend out there in the industry. It makes you feel better. I just saw Big Cat went 0 and 7. And his last bet of the, this is just NFL. And his last bet was minus 6 and a half for Denver.

And he's now flipping to plus seven and a half for Seahawks, saying he might go 1 and 8. But right now he's seeing it 0 and 7. So if it makes feel any better, you know. It did seem like a lot of people were struggling this weekend. College was all over the place. I think that's where I ultimately, like, was messing up. I was like a kid in the candy store, like making some of these.

Yeah, you're out there just this one, this one, this one. And then I'm like, oh, what are parlays? You're like parlaying them all together. I'm like, man, these outs are incredible. When you take the money line on something, what does that mean? So when it's money line, it's just straight up. Titans are going to beat the giants. Got you.

Like the spread for you guys was minus two or minus five and a half. And I was on bet the bus. I was like, oh, Titans got that. one. But on the bet the boys parlay, it was just all money lines. And then I want to say, you know, that's what money line means. Yeah. Then parlay, you combine them all, and they got bigger odds, bigger numbers. But if one misses, then you don't win. I had like a nine-leg parlay going on. Parles are defined to lose. It was like all players. It was like, Sequan, 50 plus yards, Derek Henry, 100 plus yards, 100 plus 50 yards, one and a half TDs. Like, I'm bent.

Travis Kelsey was like he's going to get a 20-something yard reception. He did. Yeah, college when I had a long part lay going on in college, I thought I was going to smack. I missed like more than half of them. Since you started betting, how does it feel? Dude, it's exhilarating. You're locked in truly all day long watching football.

Yeah, 1-800 game. Yeah, 1-800 game, right? I'm in high on him, daily, JP says. How much did you bet in total? No, no, no, we can't. We're not going to go over numbers yet. I'm not comfortable enough today, especially like, oh, you know, on the pod. Yeah.

But they definitely lost a couple hundred thousand, though. Yeah. We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it. A couple of comments. But, dude, it's awesome. I literally Saturday all day, I watch ball. And I literally was thinking to myself in the middle of the day, this is what everyone's going through.

You're like yelling at the fucking TV. God damn it. Then you sit back. It's just like an emotional roller coaster. But it's, and then you might lose one. You just pull out your phone. You look up some next. Betts. You're like, all right, the morning slate. We're going to fucking, we're putting that one behind us. We got the afternoon and the evening. We're going alive.

Holy shit, dude. And then you see everybody just going through it and some people went in. Some people saying, hey, I told you so. Or you're an idiot. And then, you know, literally, bro, I think I went three. I think I went four and 13 on Saturday. And then. How about 13 college teams? 17. Four and 13. Yeah. You've been in 17 college teams? I bet on 17 things, yeah. Some things are like in the game parlay. Like, I might bet they're going to score more than 10 and a half points in the first quarter. Or second half total. Like, totals, touchdowns.

You can bet it all, brother. Whatever you want. You can bet the coin toss? No, I was trying to look for that, but I didn't see it. Hars still doesn't do that. A lot of, like, off-brand, like Bavada, like illegal sites. Wee brands that we don't use. But they'll do crazy stats.

You know, what color Gator A, and like... Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. And then on Sunday, I made all my bets and I'm like, today we prove everybody wrong.

Because it's a new day. Today, it's a new, because it's a new day. I heard you back there here. I tried to sneak it in there. Fucking... Yeah, it's exhilarating.

Sounds like you guys had a good weekend. I mean, it depends on how you look at it. Yeah, because some things... It was honestly a very bad weekend. Nebraska gets beat by Georgia fucking Southern. Bro, how did you feel going through that? I don't know. I just, I didn't.

know what to do. What's confusing to me is like, if you remember, we do all the bits last year. But last year, the defense was good. And, like, we were just bad on special teams. And then we couldn't close out games, like, on offense, like, late in the fourth quarter, rest would screw us. But this year, our offense is looking solid. And our defense is just like a fucking wet toilet paper, dude.

Georgia Southern was scoring literally every drive. And so were we. And it was like... What was the score? 45, 42. Yeah. It was a shootout. Oh my God.

Yes, bro. We can cut this too, but a lot of people in our mentions are wondering what's going to happen with the bus and bowl now that Scottie's gone. Don't cut that, dude, because I was going to get to that. Yeah, so. It sounds, it feels like, right? It feels. If it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck. We're probably ducked.

Not so fast. I don't have nothing good, like actually good, but here's how we can flip the screen. glass that fool always. Go ahead. So, yeah, when that happened, I was like, yeah, I think you're talking different teams. So, yeah, when that happened, I was like, you, I think you shot me a text. I'm like, yeah, might be fucking. Someone told me, I walked into the game a few hours before the game, and someone goes,

hey, you see that Georgia's Southern beat Nebraska? And I was like, no way. And I'm like, I think they're going to fire the head coach. I'm a big fan of Scott Frost. He seemed like an awesome dude. And then sure enough, like, an hour later, someone was like, like they fired him. I came out of the hot time and Ben Jones was like,

they just fired the Nebraska coach. And I go, ah, the bus and bulls dead. And I like stormed in the locker room all fucking mad. Damn. Yeah. But here's why we have,

I think we should have some optimism. Here's why. Okay. They got rid of Frost early. Now, all they had to do is wait two more weeks for that buyout to get cut in half. They didn't. Scott Frost,

he's going to be okay, $15 million. He's going to be I. $15 million dollar buyout. He's going to be like Eddie. He's going to be like Eddie O on that recent interview he had. It was hilarious. Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, which show you want me to walk out of with I guess. Exactly. But they're doing that, I feel like to salvage some recruiting, get some, like, you know, some stabilization for mostly probably recruiting purposes. They're playing a long game. Yeah. They say, let's take the short-term hit for a long-term win.

Yeah. Okay. And you think about it, too, whenever you have an interim head coach, the majority of time they're not usually there. However, I think Coach Joseph is actually, like, in the lineup to do it. But at this point, it's like finding ways to, you know, salvage the season. I'm not saying we can't go 10 and 2.

Listen, I'm not going to say we are going to go 10 and 2. I'm just not going to say it can't happen. Oh, obviously. All I'm saying is if you have things to play for. Yeah, if you're OU, you're like, let's start the twos this week. Okay, big mistake. We're going to fucking sneak them.

I think we're going to sneak them. He goes, oh, okay, big mistake. I think if you're OU right now, I won't. Hopefully, Dobson doesn't listen, but this could be a trap game. This can be a trap game for OU. They don't know what. what's coming at him. You know what I mean?

Bro, they're not going to... Bro, they know exactly what's coming. They're not... They can't... They can change the coach. You can't change the playbook. Okay. Oklahoma, sleep on us. That's my message to y'all. I can't bet. Can I bet on college games? I think you can bet on college games. As long as you're not... I've never betted before. I don't plan on starting.

But I bet you they lose. Who? Oklahoma? Yeah. No. Nebraska. Damn, I was about to get that. No, I'm with you and I fuck and I don't want to take the vibes down because as we've started this podcast where we started where we are now, even through all this like mud we're trudging through, I can feel the vibes going up and up,

but I'm just not with you on that one. How about this? And I hope Nebraska wins. I want to say that a lot. I hope y'all do. How about this, though? Nebraska with points. What's the points?

Who knows? Probably a lot. That's why I feel like there's, there's going to be a payoff Willie's going to be out there. I think you can take Nebraska with the points. Oh, okay, here's what I was going to say about, I bet the bus. You can flip it to,

you look at like building like you got to find positives for recruiting purposes. Yeah. You have to if you're Nebraska for recruiting. Are you talking about the bus and bowl or bet the bus? Even the bowls. Oh, my fault. Yeah, not but the bus. The bus and bowl.

Bus and bowl. To me, that's something that can, that you can build around, that you can still sign your name on that dotted line. You keep it kind of hush, hush, like we're not doing it to promote it. We just need to do it because we want to make the trophy. Right. We do. But I think regardless, we need to make a trophy.

No matter what, even if it's like I'm going to hold it at my house for a year. You hold it at your house. We're still going to be out there for the tailgate. Yeah. And we just make it our own. However, I think that it's like, you got to find something to rally around.

I think that's one of the small things that you can do. Yeah. The line is only 11 and a half. I'll take Oklahoma. Yeah. Refinance. How do you, do you start a Barstall sports book right now

and just spending all my money on that? Brother, that would... 11. That would hurt me if you did that. But it's just business. It's not personal. That would hurt me. The way Will fucking does this and his finger sometimes.

Like he just said something and he's just waiting for some... Like that's his pause. And pause and pause and pause. Fucking the little finger thing you do. Yeah, I don't even want to... I don't even want to talk about bets because I don't want to get myself in a gray area that I don't even want to be.

And I'll let you guys talk about that. But fuck. 11 points. If I was on bet the butt. I'd probably say. What do they say? Hammer, Dan, dude. What do they say on McAfee?

Hammer Don. Hammer Don. Don. Don. Don. Yo, it always is this hilarious one. Who is it Gump? Is it Gump that has that bark video? Oh, yeah.

No, he really has that. He really has that little video out there. One thing that the Titans Jumbotron needs to do better is not show the fans when it's like a third and long and, like, show the play. Because they always like, On the big screen, you're like, I'm like sitting there watching, it's like fans, fans, fans.

And I'm like, then all of a sudden it's like two seconds into the play and they go back to the play. Yeah. And like the whole we run it thing, like. They're just running something new. Yeah, but I think that's something that they continue to do that with the same guys, that'll be tough. We run it. Yeah. Listen.

Yeah. That's just my perspective. Yeah, 100%. So Buston Bull's not dead in your opinion. I don't think the Bust and Bulls dead at all. Because I know the boys in Michigan have literally told me we're just waiting for. them to sign and we're ready to go. That's a Michigan said.

Michigan's already drawn their line in the sand. They got their troops ready. We need the AD. We're just waiting for you guys to storm the beaches. What's that? Yeah, we just need the Michigan AD to have. We need his signature. He will.

They're just waiting on y'all. Yeah, I, listen, I think we'll get it done. Like, obviously there's some things going on right now to where you can. October 12th. Like, we, I said, September 12th, we got to go. Like, we're, literally two months away. You can put yourself in Nebraska shoes right now. Like, we just fired our head coach.

Right. But I think you know what happens when those things go on. You find things to play for. The bus trophy is a moment that you can build around. The level of optimism is incredible. I just fucking, I absolutely, like, I can't tell you how much I love you. I don't have the words. I don't have the vocabulary to tell you how much I love you.

The way you're talking right now, I wish, and I hope the AD and the interim head coach, have they said who the interim head coach is going to be? Yeah, Mickey Joseph. Mickey Joseph. I hope they're listening and they go, we got a fucking. do this. He's right. Because you are. No, yeah. 100%. Let's hope that shit gets done.

He actually was the, I don't know if he was the, like, the wide receivers coach, but he was part of, like, this, he was at LSU before Nebraska. And he was part of, like, building out those receivers. Hey, did Julio Jones go off last night? Yeah, he did. That's pretty selfish. He was going off in a way to where I wanted to find the four net clip of him saying, like, he's happy because he was, he even dropped the ball and got up and was, like, smiling, thinking I should have had that ball.

Yeah. Oh, I saw that one. He almost... Yeah. I had just turn it off. Watch Top Gunn last night. The new one? Yeah, for like the third time. That movie, dude, that's such a good vibe, that movie. It's outstanding. What else is an incredible vibe? Maybe the best vibe that you can possibly populate in your little mind is spooktober. And it's right around the corner, dude. And I think now more than ever, we need everything. Wizards, witches, goblins, ghoul, specters, the whole.

fucking thing, dude. I need jack-a-lanards with candles lit and they're just fucking glowing at you as you're walking up and get caught in somebody's fake cobwebs. You walk in here, or that do-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-d-d- you just need it, dude. We need it. We're on our way. I'm seeing leaves fall. Are you feeling the temperature? Yes, dude. Are you actually seeing leaves fall? I don't see any leaves falling in my house, dude. I saved the first one every year. Okay. I love that. All right? It's like a tree star. Yeah, I got it in a book, dude. I fucking hold it. down. I keep it in there forever, dude. It's coming up. The weather is like, it was a little chilly this morning. It was. Now, the weather is going to heat back up. I do look at the weather.

It's going to crank back up to the 87-88 range. So that's a tough. Yeah, that's tough to hear. Toughy. But I've been driving around with the smile on my face knowing it's close and also. I see it. So I got yours right there. I love that, dude. The spoo-new spooked over here. So you want to turn around for the boys? Let them see it. I can just hold it up. Oh. Well, Can't he do? Are you ready for this? Yeah, I've seen it, so. Oh, you have?

your first order back to the episode. Should we do? I think we should. Our favorite segment of the wing. I think we should. It's for the greatest segment of the week. Shout out of the week

as always. We start with they easily rattled. But strong and more confident every single time. Mr. Bloss, go ahead, baby. I don't have one. My shout out this week goes to an item inside the grocery store that's pretty reliable. Tastes pretty damn good. That's a good one.

But if you go to the grocery store at about 6 p.m., it's probably a good chance you're not. You're not going to cook dinner when you get home. Probably going to grab some fast food on the way home. Me personally, one of the things I like to do is like to grab that hot and ready rotisserie chicken. And it just never lets you down. My shout-out, no free shout-out this week, goes to that hot and ready rotissory chicken on the way out of the grocery store. Too loud, Garrett, too loud, Garrett. That's outstanding. That's outstanding.

Outstanding. Next up, the Melf Hunter, Jackie, baby. My shout-out, no free shout-out of the week goes to a time period. And that is the 8 a.m. to 1159 slot on Sundays now. I know I've been hitting on ball a lot, but it's that, like, four-hour period. right before the NFL, like the whole day starts, and the future is just limitless. There's so many opportunities for winning bets,

getting your fantasy team in line. And it just, like, always feels so optimistic until it's not. But those four hours, it feels kind of like the world kind of just stops for a moment. You're able to breathe, and all the silence is just, is there. You're just able to think clearly. Flow state.

That's exactly what I was looking for. So shout out to the 8 a.m. to 1159 right before kickoff. And then the little red zone, some beers, some water, whatever you got going on, starts flowing in. Shout out to that time.

That sounds like something exciting. That sounds like something exciting. What if the world did stop turning? What would happen? I don't know. Everybody would die. Yeah. Everybody would die?

JP, I don't think so, would we? Yeah, the earth rotates at 800 miles an hour. If the earth stopped moving for one second, we would all just go 800 miles an hour to the east and die. Everyone would die. Depends. What do you mean? I think it depends, man.

800 miles an hour, buildings would fall over. You couldn't strap yourself to anything. But if you were strapped in somewhere. That place would probably collapse on you. Maybe. You might not be in a spot where you get collapsed on. If you're on a roller coaster ride, you're already buckled in. However, I think it's like, you just go 600 miles an hour

faster, even if you were going on a 200-mile an hour at roller coaster. How fast do roller coasters go? 50? Maybe one of those like underground indoor roller coasters. Like if you're like on a... Circus, circus, in Vegas? I haven't been on that one. Oh, we used to hit that all the time when I was a kid.

But the mummy in Disney, because that's like an indoor kind of underground. Yeah, but buddy, you're on a roller coaster. The earth stops moving. How fasts your roller coaster go tops? Fastest roller coaster in the world? I'm going to say 78 miles an hour. What's the fastest roller coaster of all? all time.

Because, okay, so let's say it's 100. Let's just say it's 100. You still travel 700 miles an hour faster. Your fucking neck would, my neck would touch JPs. And I'd just be dead instantly. You, we all would. Let alone also the roller coaster would, like, fucking fall off the tracks and do some crazy shit.

Maybe if you're angled the right way to where you're, like, going out. But you're still not going 800 miles an hour. Yeah, but maybe you're like in the, air and then you just kind of dies down and then you can kind of land in water. Or if you're on an airplane. Land in water at 800 miles an hour. Hey, what if you're on an airplane?

And you're going 450 miles an hour? Oh, no, because you're not on the ground. Mm, J.P. Oh, you just changed the game with that one. Fuck. I hope it does happen. You're laid in softly. Yeah.

A ton of science shit. Because you have to think the earth stops moving and. No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Think about it. That's some crazy shit.

You're not out of the whatever atmosphere. We're just talking about the gravitational pull involved. Right. But if you're on a plane, you're still flying. You fly west or fly east like one's faster than the other. Still pool. Do you think they'd be like dead air? And you just fall out of the sky?

Like the dead sea, but dead air. Dead air. Everything floats in it. We're talking about just the earth stopping. What are you? Interesting pivot into J.P. Shoutout. No, for shout out of the week, dude. interesting pivot.

Yeah, shout out to time travel. My shout out, no free shout out, is also a little bit of manifestation because my, my maintenance light came on in my car and so did my tire pressure one. My shout out, no free shout out goes to when you go to the car repair shop and it's only minimal like repairs to have to be done. Exactly what's on the thing is like, okay, we can get that tank care of for less than a million dollars. So that's my shout-out.

And hopefully that's what happens tomorrow. More money to spend on Bet the Bus. Exactly. Yeah, all right. Garrett, best mustache in the world, buddy. That thing looks fucking electric, dude. Thank you. Keep going.

What's your shout-out? Every shout-out of the week. My shout-out. Every shout-out of the week is going to go to everybody that came to the tailgate yesterday and bought merch. We still out? Very close. Oh, we could have done something special.

Could have. More slinging merch, bro. flinging it. The show was awesome. And even like, unfortunately, the Giants fans were buying merch. That's okay. So thanks for your money.

Yeah, appreciate it. But that's my shout-out. I know for shout-out. We'll see y'all Raiders weekend. We're going to have to re-up, come early, so it's not all sold out. Because if it sells out,

we're going to do something special. We're going to do something special. Dude, there were, uh, yeah, I mean, there were a lot of Giants fans, too, but they were about the boys. They were about fucking buzzing. The whole time, like the,

we didn't stop. Yeah, our top was crowded, bro. Like, the vibes were up. really. Lives were up. That's outstanding. Yeah. Oh, speaking of Michael Chandler coming through,

he was in our suite. And after the game, obviously I'm feeling sorry for the boys. And I walk out, and Chandler's there, big smile on his face, big hug. Who wasn't? I sent him a text and said,

at least your real friend show up. Even when the flames off, dude. I put it, tap, tap, ha ha. That was tough. I got, like, all this is a joke. I wanted to see you so bad. I'm sure. Are our babysitter is done and she was up at 7.30.

I respected. That was literally the only. I respect it. That was the reason why we had to. I respected it. It's all good. It's all good. But I'll tell you what you can do.

Let me know your shoutout. No, for Shout of the Week. All right. So I got one. I think you guys will enjoy this. My shout out. My shout out, no free shout out, goes to a time back in high school.

Whenever you have your license. The world seems small. It seems like it's all about the bubble you got going on in high school. The dating relationships going on, all the storylines in high school. We're all doing life together. Everything we do in high school matters the most. However, my shoutout goes to when you're on the road and you see your boy out driving. Don't know where he's going.

You just happen to see your boy. Like remember the times where you'd be in the car even before driving? And you see like your parents' car and you like see, like, see. your boy in the back and you're like waving you're like oh there's Taylor just went by and then in high school and you're driving and you see your boys and you see him pass by and you're like oh that's the boy and you sit there and text them yeah calm real quick now that I'm in Nashville I feel that that doesn't happen so maybe it's like a small town vibe thing because we were driving the other day and I thought I saw somebody where I thought it was their vehicle yeah I was like man remember the times back

in high school when life was simple and you would just see your boy out driving and you'd like give a honky back oh was that just you hell yeah I feel like it doesn't really happen in the city God. It is an outstanding, dude. My shout-out, no free shout-out goes to seeing your boy out driving, giving a nice little wave. You really saved that one because mine, like, two weeks ago, was seeing your boy out in the wild, like in the middle of the work week.

But you saved it by driving. Oh, yeah, yeah. It was literally like a fleeting thought of, like, I thought it was somebody struck, and I was like, man, I don't really feel like I see any of my boys out on the road anymore. I was like, maybe it's like a small town thing. We, like, see somebody's car, and you're like, oh, this is so-and-so pulling up.

Well, that's probably... The world just gets bigger to you. But that's when people had, like, jacked up trucks and, like, something very specific on it. You guys. I try to wave at every cop car that goes by a blossom. I don't think that was him.

Dude, that small town is definitely a thing to because there's only so many vehicles out there. Yeah. You know? And you're right, it might just be, like, more of a smaller town thing. Yeah, dude. I feel bad for people that I grew up in small towns.

I do, too. It's such a vibe, especially in high school. Like, what a fucking awesome like you just see all the same people all the time and like you're kind of always at home but I do think wherever you move even if you live somewhere for a long time it definitely like the world just gets bigger to you

you see more cars all the time you're doing more shit all the time yeah because I don't think I've ever seen you out yeah I saw you saw boss I don't think I've ever seen you guys I saw Garrett on the way to a football game one time jamming

you know what game it was what game was that was the bills game Oh, was it? When was it? Last year or two years ago? After like the 14 day off, couldn't practice COVID shit. Oh, that's where we played them Tuesday night. Day night.

Yeah, I remember that. Monkeyed him. I remember going to that game. It's like, this game is either going to be close or they're going to blow our asses out because they were able to practice and stuff. Your windows were shaking on the truck. Oh, buddy. I was fucking.

I was getting. I was getting. I remember we'd get like try to seek out of all the cameras at the end of the game and be like this ass open is brought to you by Zoom. Yeah. We were just on Zoom all week. Oh, dude. Fucking A.

Times. My shoutout, no free shout out. Of the week. Goes to a specific time in your life that not everybody's gone through. Will hasn't. I don't believe J.P. has. But I know that Jack Bloss, me and Garrett have it. It's when you get your first tattoo.

Not when you get the first tattoo and you feel cool as fuck. But when finally that tattoo settles into your skin, there's no more peeling. There's no more scabs. And you're just like, hey, this is me for the rest of my life with this baddie. on my arm right here. That is such an outstanding feeling. Because when you first get the tattoo, you're like, yeah, I got it and it's here, but I need to make sure this thing heals right.

You're super anal about that tattoo when you first, especially the first couple. After you get about like, you know, a baker's dozen of them boys, you're like, it'll rip, it'll be fine. You know, throw some lotion on that piece every once in a while you'll be good. But you're so anal about, I got to put this A&D women on. I got to make sure and wash it with an unscented soap, all that shit. Yeah, I got to make sure it's open but not too open because I don't want to get infected. and all that stuff.

But when it finally settles in the skin and everyone kind of does the same thing, you grab your tattoo and you kind of take your fingers and you like mush your fingers in your skin and be like, that's just fucking me now, dude. That's just fucking me on my hand.

So my shoutout, number of the week goes to when that first tatty finally settles. Hey, that was off the top. I had nothing. I had fucking nothing. I had nothing for this week. That was good.

Thanks, man. That was actually so good. I think I'll post your shout out and be like, I'm posting this for the boy. Thanks, man. For everybody who wears tattoos out there. Yeah, I appreciate that.

Because it really is a thing to you. When you get that first tattoo, you're so hype. I remember my first tattoo I got was Lewan on the inside of my arm. And I got an Old English. And an Old English W, Loki looks like an M. So, like, I looked like it said Le Man on my. But I would legit go to parties after that thing settled. And I would go find the nearest couch, my freshman year of college with a short-sleeved shirt on.

And I'd like, put my arms up like this or whatever, just had that thing showing off. being like, oh yeah, this boy, he's gunned up. You better watch out, dude. He's gunned up. Dude. Yeah, here it is. What's up, boys, you straight? Just like a big stretch, dude.

What's up? Oh, that right there? Yeah, it's my last name. Oh, it's my last name. Then you get to college to realize, like, everybody that comes from everywhere has, like, either their initials or their last name somewhere, like on their... Yeah, and there's very specific white guy and black guy tattoos.

Exactly. Very specific. But it's just fucking... You get it. You feel it, and you feel a certain type of way when you feel a certain type of way when get that first tattoo. Like, hey, your boy's got a little more street cred. I'm out right now. Yeah. You can find out someday. One day. Maybe one day. Can you find out someday? Looks not closed. Is it though?

Looks not closed. Oh, that'd be so far. Will. Yeah, what I felt like thought about before. Just getting a sleeve done? Mm-hmm. Yeah, do that. Maybe I will. Why don't you right now? you know I don't like being forced like peer pressure to peer pressure didn't do like an instant decision

yeah so that's why would you get a for the boy statue or something I mean somewhere on the no jessmer we were small of his low back dude get for the boys

just the small when he sits in a chair and the shirt the shirt's a little too short you kind of so everyone's like what the fuck's that say for the boys

maybe has an arrow pointing down I don't know lower back hair kind of sticking out of it Oh, speaking of, dude, speaking of shoutouts. And we don't really go back to other people's shoutouts, but sometimes when you have a shout out and something happens and it kind of makes you nervous for that individual, like you want to come back and check in.

And our friend Jack had a shout out about being in the steam room with some older gentleman at the YMCA or wherever the fuck he was working at it. And I told you, I told you that old man was probably trying to slap some cheeks. So has there been any update between you and him? I thought you were about to, like, say, some experience you had, not just circling back. No. I have not. Have you been in that steam room since?

Yeah, for sure. A couple times. Has he been in there? No, not him specifically, but like I said, it wasn't like a specific man. It was like that type of man that's 70 plus and just does not care what's going on. I was hanging out. Yeah. Yeah.

You probably moved that towel at the side when you walked in. Let him see it, dude. Let me see if he's interested. Yeah, little hand towels, dude. They are. like starski and hutch, them little hand towels around the waist. Dude, I actually met this nice old man in the sauna

last week. And then? He is the winningest wrestler at the University of Oklahoma's history. Yeah. I bet he wanted to wrestle you, that fucking sauna, dude. Hey, look it up.

Spooktober shirts. Yeah, Steve Burns. Steve Burns, the interview. Steve is all time. Tell some incredible stories. Talks about, who was one of my favorite comedians growing up, Dan Cook.

It had an incredible story on that Had a very strong opinion about Jerry Seinfeld As well That's right He did have some like good stories He had some great fucking stories dude So I think everyone's gonna really enjoy this one It's gonna be all time

And you read the ads Yeah I already knocked at the ads Well then I think it's just time to dive into The ad that's about to come up right now But then Steve Byrne And rate five stars These comments high vibes intro vibes intro vibes Intra vibes

But yeah, ma'am, this is a crazy rhyme. Crazy rhyme. We have Steve Burn-on, comedian. Legend. I can't wait to talk to a lot of stuff because... Your boy, like your boys was one of like my comedy heroes. Yeah. Vince Vaughn.

I thought you were going to say Polly Shore. That's okay. Polyshone is great. Did it in the Army now? Phenomenal movie. That's right. Phenomenal movie. And you, uh, you do a, don't you do a podcast as well with Joe?

I do a podcast with Joe Gatto from Practical Jokers. Yeah. So I do that. And then I do comedy pinata, which you joined on. Yes. And that's just, you know, done at Zanis. We sit in the comedy club. And it's just comedians sitting there.

watching stand-up comedy together, and we break down the bits and kind of poke through the holes. And then we have stories about the comics. So it's really a fun, organic way. Because I've seen podcasts about, like, stunt men breaking down stunts in film or, like, special effects artists break down, you know, Star Wars and Star Trek. And I've never seen comics breaking down bits of comedy. So it, for me, even through the process of doing it, made me really appreciate the different gears that different comics have, you know, whether it's your storyteller slash just full-on entertainer like Burke Kreischer or like a prolific joke writer like Mark Norman. And so you get into the nuances of everybody's thing. And then you have like, you know, Swiss Army knives. Like I could do

a little bit of everything. Yeah. But not one thing great. Just a lot of things good. Yeah. And so what would you rather be? Just great at one thing or get at a lot of things? I'd rather be good a lot of things because even when I'm going to Nashville, like I go to Zanis, right? I just do I just do crowd work I just fuck off and do crowd work What do you mean by crowd work? Crowdwork is when you just go up

and you have any material plan and it just starts with conversations with the audience and you're living on the wire so my job there is to just make them laugh out of nothing and just see what I can do so it's because I work so much on crowdwork just at Zanis and like when I'm in New York

City like last night for example at the cell just doing crowd work now when I go and do my regular shows where it's just material, you could do anything to me and I'm prepared. I have so many like knives and an arsenal of like weapons for any such you drop a glass.

I got a life for you. You still team six over there on that stage. Yeah, how do you like prepare for that? It's just doing it over and over and over again and putting yourself out there and digging yourself. I mean, at Zanis, I dug myself into so many horrible holes. I'm like, how the fuck am I going to get out of this? And usually it's talking to black people. He's Asian. He can say that. We're all good.

But yeah. I don't know what you're talking about. But he is talking to black people and just, you know, I'm always like, what's the worst thing I could say right now? And I say it. Oh, you say it's like, well, I'm not dropping like the N word or something like that. Okay, I say the worst thing. Can Asian say the N word? Is that like an okay thing? I would never say the N word. I hear Mexican say it a lot. What's that? Mexican say it a lot. Well, yeah, they kind of get like a pass, right? Because it's like they're almost. Yeah. I'm digging myself a hole that I don't.

even want to be in right now. Please, like, let's get the fuck out of here right now. Hey, I'm fucking treading water right now. I'm just going to be... I'm like, why the fuck would you say that, dude? I'm just going to be doing this all right. I was just like almost getting canceled. Yeah.

Basically, yeah. Will Jersey get canceled once a week. I swear to God, dude. Are you talking about the last thing, the Jew thing? No, but that thing, too. Hey, goes, you know, the Jews party party. On Twitter. Not even that.

Like, when you posted having your baby and it was a black baby, like shit like that. About April Fool? Yeah, because I didn't even think about that. like, oh, I like the canceling thing. And then, like, you know, Mr. Arnold was like, hey, he's just trying to do whatever he can to get canceled, huh? Put you in your brain, you're like, oh, damn. I was really trying to do that.

That's crazy. I thought the baby thing was fucking. Hilarious. Yeah, hilarious. It's when it's going, when it gets outside of, like, the audience who kind of knows you and knows how you joke and stuff like that, that's when, like, the racial stuff kind of comes in. Yeah. Because one dude literally goes, this is, uh, what do you say, this is white nationalism at work. And it's like, fuck, man, I'm just, oh, God.

It's just strong sweet. Holy fuck. It's like, yo, bro. easy. Like I'm not wearing a pillowcase on my head, relax. Dude, that's fucking... Here I go again. Here I go again. Dicking myself a whole. Party, party, bro. Dude, geez, party, party.

Oh, you were saying, yeah, that Will tweeted that. He had his baby. Oh, my... Dude, my man is fucking hilarious on Twitter. He really don't miss. Willa Earleine. Born at 632 a.m. My wife and I are literally just laying in bed,

laughing everything happening, because Taylor hits me up. He's like, maybe you sent a voice thing, or maybe we got on the phone, but you're like, hey, did you have a kid? No, I didn't do that. I knew it was a black baby. You said you got a whole bunch of people and people legit saying congrats.

You didn't know. You didn't see the photo yet. You didn't see the photo yet. You just, I thought you had heard that something happened. You're like, am I finding out there's somebody else before hearing from you? Remember?

Because you were traveling. Like me and Taylin were somewhere. People were saying congratulations to you on Twitter. I didn't see your tweet. And I remember telling Taylorin, I'm like, this motherfucker is so into Twitter now that he didn't even tell one of his best friends. like that he had his child.

Like he took the Twitter to tell the world before he told me. Like some people are saying congratulations. I'm like, do you not fucking. When you feel a good joke, it's like it's got to go up now. Yeah. There you go. Yeah. But go back.

So usually you get in the worst deep waters with black people. Go on. Yeah. And then I think you feel it. You feel the room. You feel the air leave the room. You're like, all right. Now it's like it's just a game of Tetris.

It's like this goes here. This goes here. And you slowly build. And the key isn't to make the audience lab. The key really is to make the individual laugh that you're on that hole with because you're like, oh my God, did you just say that to me? And it's like, that's how challenging that moment becomes. So for me, I love it.

I don't know. That's like the new high for me in comedy because comedy itself, as you witnessed, to get a laugh is such a high. It's great, right? The bombs are the fucking worst. Those pendulum swings when you're first starting. I always tell people, it's like getting sharpy on your face when you're, when you're starting, when you bomb, it's like it's going to stay with you for a while, but eventually it's going to wear off, right?

Yeah. But then you get so used to it. It's like, fuck, bombing's nothing to me. And then you need something. It's like you've got to cut yourself like, you know, to feel again. Yeah. For me, like the crowd work is like, oh, this is so fun.

It's so reinvigorate. And then when you break through and get them to all that, but especially you break that person, that's the best feeling in the world. Along with doing jokes that are challenging and all that other stuff, like this new hour is going to be a lot of fun. But for me, I really love crowdwork. And it's helped me become a better comic.

Yeah. Sometimes do you ever not get out of the hole? No. And it's something that like after the night's over, you're kind of thinking like, if this happens again, here's, oh, this would have been funny to say, like, here's I can get myself out of it. Yeah, it's always tough when you're like an argument with somebody. Yeah, yeah.

And they say something to you and you're like, whatever, something back, and then like 20 minutes say, you're like, I should have said this. Right. Or you're driving home, you're like, why did I react that way? Like, I kind of said this. or even if it's a joke, if I'm like trying to make somebody, if you're like trying to make somebody laugh and they're not getting in, it's just stone face and maybe one person might laugh,

but nobody else laughs. You're like, all right. In real life, that's something I need to work on a night. That poster clarity of life. Yeah. But in real life, I get stumped. Yeah. Which is weird.

But on stage, it's just like, I don't know what happens. Like, I can't get, it just like, even if I get stumped for a second, like you were saying, don't you ever get stumped? It's like, I'll put a bookmark in it knowing, okay, use a stock line, get out of it. But the whole time I'm doing something else.

I'm still thinking about that other one. I'm going to get back to that. I'm going to get back to it. I will figure it out. And usually something bubbles up over here and I call it back to over here. And then I tie those two things together. And then you get the laugh. It's super interesting hearing comics talk about comedy.

Because it's kind of like when you're an individual and you don't get to talk to people like you. Like if you're watching the UFC, you look at it's like, oh, these are just a couple of brutes really just going at it. And then you start learning like, oh, these are technical things. They're doing the geek team half geek team. Like they're playing chess up there. And when it's talking to you, it's kind of like the same thing. Like, I'm over here sitting here smiling and laughing. Right.

But I don't know that you put all this work into it or whatever. We just think, oh, this is a funny guy that comes up here. That's a good point because UFC, you get to see all the behind the scenes stuff too. Like you see all the technical side. And they talk about like, oh, I had him in half guard so I knew I had to do this. It's like, yo, they're talking about that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Look, even like roasting, like Jeff Ross, the Rostmaster, that's a totally different muscle. It's like, oh, do comedy. Just go do a roast. It's like, that's a skill set. Like, that's real. different skill set. Crowdworks a skill set. One liners are a skill set. Like Bert Kreisher's storytelling, that's a skill set.

Not everybody can be that, but when you can do a little bit of both, that's why I try to push myself to be a little bit of both, to be a little more well-rounded. It's the fucking greatest job in the world. Going back to, like, bombing, when you start bombing, like you go to a comedy store or something like that and you get on stage, what's worse?

Bombing in front of the crowd or bombing in front of other comics, when you're first starting. You know what I'm saying? You're probably thinking to yourself, like, I want these people to be my peers. But I want them. I want to surprise like, oh, we're all trying to be funny in the way. But like, just like anything, there's different personality.

So there's probably some comics that they're like, oh, this guy fucking sucks. And there's going to be other guys that are super helpful that want to come. But hey, you did this and that. Like, you know what I'm saying? Comics love nothing more than watching other comics bomb. Really? The fucking greatest. Yeah, because you're just watching them weasel the way out.

And then when you're watching it, it's just like, it's the fucking best because now you're seeing your friend in a puzzle. It's like, is you going to solve the puzzle or not? and when they solve it, it's the best. But my favorite thing are bomb lines. I love when somebody's telling a joke and it sucks. And like Carson was the best, like the old Carson show, he'd literally pull down the boom mic and tap on it

or he'd have a ton of bomb lines. And it's just, again, another, like, organic way that the comics living in the moment. And you're seeing how is this individual going to get out of that moment of silence where it's so fucking uncomfortable. Nothing's worse than that. But to get the last. is the best.

The boom light grab is good. That puts everybody back into key. Like, okay, we're back in this thing. I mean, I feel like blood would just rush to my head and I wouldn't like know what to do. Well, the thing is, like, you've been up there for five minutes. And some of your jokes are hilarious, there are a couple like, all right.

You did great. But the one that was like, oh, I didn't really land the plane. So it was the last one to I could just be a good one too. Or whatever I said. There's a lot of, I remember that night. You helped him a lot with that, right? Steve helped me punch up with several of my jokes. Like, I would come up with the concept.

That NBA one was the funniest joke. The NBA was, the NBA one was you, too. Was where the way it started was definitely. I don't know if it's something that we started. That would get you a murky one with black people. Yeah, something to get you a murky one of the black people. And then I talked with Shane Gillis. He was like, let it ride.

That's hilarious. Bro, Shane is hilarious. You watch these comedy and you see why he's like, let it ride. You're going to ask anybody, is this offensive? Like, Shane Gillis, the one is like, yeah, do it. Are you doing it? Fucking let it ride. And Bert was trying to come up with a player

because he was like you've got to personalize it and then when I talked to you that was like the great way to kind of personalize it while also like Yeah because you you were in that joke it was personalized off of you right right right right as opposed to throwing it to a name because then all of a sudden you're

you're saying something to somebody who's defenseless but it's when it's you it's like oh it's fun if you can take this thing off it it's great like I'll shit on people the whole show but then I'm shitting on me more than anybody right you know there's a hot girl in front it's like relax stop giving me static

I know you saw me pull up here in a Saturn. It's like all those like dumb bomb lines. Let the audience know, I'm no better than anybody here. So, you know, Asian Elon Musk, all these dumb jokes, you know, that just put myself down. Yeah. That does play. That's funny. You got that bank account?

No. You'd think an Asian Elon Musk would have more money than Elon Musk, right? Yeah, that's a really good fucking point, you know? Mathematician. You can have that. That one's for you. You can have on that one. Yeah, that one was free.

The next one would send you an invoice. It's interesting, too, like, because when I talk. to Bert, he was like, hey, anytime you got something, I love writing for other people. Like, I love working on other people stuff. Hold on, hold on. Burr Chrysher said he likes writing. Bert Kreischer doesn't write shit. Bert Kreiser just comes in

and just starts talking. You guys, you're about to you, you, you, you, you, you, you guys. Hey, dad's man, shit is still, bro. His laugh is so infectious. I know, I know. Can you imagine Bert Krecher? He's just sitting there, like, building out, sitting in his man cave, turning on an Edison bulb light and just taking a pen

and going, fuck. what? No. What I was going to say with that is comics don't mind don't mind helping everybody. Don't mind helping each other. No, no, no. That I'll say. So I'm not shitting on Bert.

Obviously, I love Bert. We kind of came up together. Oh, that's already clips. Everything you just said is clips. We're not going to clip this part. Clip that out and then put that out. Just put that out. And then the retraction of, I really like Bert. You know, as I'm telling Bert.

But Bert is, Bert's an entertainer. Bert loves entertaining. And the shirt comes off. He is the guy you want to hang out with on the road. We toured together for two or three years doing this Jameson Whiskey tour. I've never said anything like it. Like he brings a fucking carnival atmosphere anywhere he goes.

So you think it's like that's an act. It's like, no, that's him nonstop. He would get like parlor games going where we'd be boozing after shows and we get a crowd of kids around us and he'd hold two beers. Steins competing against somebody and money on the line. The whole bar is in on this thing. I remember the first time I was dating my girlfriend at the time, now my wife, she's from Minnesota. She's not used to like Carney lifestyle, right? And so she comes to the show in Milwaukee and we're just hanging out of the show. She's like, wow, that was really fun. And Billy Gardell

was there. He was on Mike and Molly and Bert was on it and I was on it. And Bert comes busting out of the green room in a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, and butt naked. And my wife's like, what the fuck is that? And I'm like, that's burnt. She goes, he's always like this. I'm like, with him it is. Yeah. Always like that with him. He's just

fucking crazy. You see the video of him the other day. He's on stage with a sock on his penis. Yeah, goddamn comedy jam. Yeah. Is that a normal deal? Am I just, am I talking about something that everyone's doing over there? No, no. Not everybody does that show on a fucking sock. I, for sure, would not because I'd have like a ankle socks on mine. But they did get the rubber bands. They keep it on.

Okay, I was going to say right out. When he was moving around, I was like, you know, you know, your sight set right on that piece. Like, that thing is going to flop off? You know, because I legit in my head, I was like, because when you watch videos, sometimes you put yourself in the video, like, what if I did that?

And I'm watching it, I'm like, that should be off in a second. I didn't know they're putting rubber bands on it. I think Bert put it around his penis end balls and then rubber band it. Yeah. I don't think you hear what Steve said, what his sock would be. Oh, I'd have an ankle suck.

Yeah. A newborn sock. Oh, my God. A newborn. Maybe shoe off the fucking rear view on him. But Bert is one of the nicest comics in the business. And from A to Z, from him struggling at the Boston Comedy Club and struggling at sets in New York, to like blowing up right now to be in one of the biggest comics in the country.

And one of the biggest draws, there isn't a comic in this industry that doesn't say, I'm fucking happy. I'm so happy. I mean, everybody's happy for that, dude, because he's a grind. A total grinder. And one of the most given comics, too. Some of the stories he was telling on this podcast was wild, how he had to, like, really check himself when Seguro was getting paid like $20,000 a set or something like that.

He was getting $2,000. He had to realize, like, I got to pick it up or something like that. He was doing a much of everything. He was jack of all trading. He wasn't just really honing on that one craft. Yeah. But he seems like a well-round to do. Which I think comes back for him, comes back to him now because you get to look back to the old stuff and it's extremely funny.

But here's like you said it's so much to play off. Yeah. Here's like a typical comic, right? So I'm doing this film, the opening act, about like a comic's first time on the road. I reach out to Bert. Bert doesn't call me back, right? Which is typical of Bert, if you know, Bert. So I just, I'm trying to cast this role as a cop in this movie.

So I text him and I'm like, hey, man, you have Tom's number and he gives it back to me and I call Tom and I call Tom and I cast Tom in the movie. Now Bert's fucking furious. What the fuck, man? You cast Tom in the goddamn movie? I'm like, you don't fucking call me back. I called you. You didn't call me back. So I got Tom and now I put Tom in the fucking thing.

He's like, it's fucking bullshit, man. I don't fucking believe you. All this other stuff. And it becomes this fun runner, right? So I'm about to do the podcast to promote the film that Tom's in, right? And he brings it up again. But before I knew he was going to bring it up. So I brought up an email that Vince Vaughn and Peter Billingsley, the producers are on.

And I said, here's who I want to cast in the film. You know, like Sarah Tiana is the secretary and Bert Kreischer is the cop. They go, they signed off on. I go, great. So it's all, like, dated everything. I sent it to Bird. I go, look, I fucking did it. I cast doing the goddamn thing.

You didn't get back to me. So, okay, okay, okay. Okay, I saw it. I saw it. I saw it. He was actually mad that he didn't get in the movie. He was pissed. And then...

I'd be mad if I didn't get in the movie. Oh, we're missing a phone call. It'd be tough. Then he's doing... We had that conversation before... Then he's in his film, right? He's going off to Bulgaria to film, his film. Congratulations.

So happy for you earn this, all the stuff. And I'm sending him goodwill, whatever. And then I'm thinking... This piece of shit, he fucking rakes me over the coals for now. And then he's putting everybody in this bat sauna scene. I'm like, you piece of fucking shit. You didn't put me in your fucking movie. And I actually did cast you.

Fuck you, Bert. Yeah. Is that the camera right there? Fuck you. I love you. But yeah. I love you. God damn.

I'm happy for that, dude. I mean, he's a party everywhere he goes. He's the best. Is he the most fun to tour with? Without a doubt. Really? The most fun comic. Although I'll say this, I started working with Joe.

Gatto from... Bro, he is so funny and impractical jokers. He's... He was of the four, in my opinion, the most, like, shameless. Like, did not care, would you do anything.

Would you have something? It was, dude, you watch a show? Yeah. Bro, you rolling laughing watching a show. We were trying to come up with some of our, like, bits that we were going to do with, uh,

Tyler Hubbard. Yeah, Tyler Hubbard. By just watching Impractical Jokers all day long. He is, uh, he, I remember, we did this Nashville comedy festival that was here.

And the Joker's, were on it and at the time I had this Sullivan show we were on it and so we were we were always hanging out and drinking together and we were we were fucking boozing and Joe's on the other side of this bar I'm on this side we're all standing up like Colin Joe's just there we're singing piano man and then Joe jumps off the center and starts dancing he's taking his shirt off and stuff I'm like man this dude's fucking crazy he's fucking great and then I found out he doesn't drink I was like you do all this shit sober you're like you're dancing doing the worm with your gut out and you don't have any liquor.

He's like, no, I'm like, that's the fucking, I couldn't get my head around it. So he's starting to do stand up. He's like, let's go, he loves gambling. So we go to Craps table. And. Nothing to love. What's that? Nothing to love.

Gambling? He loves it. He loves, loves. But craps is the thing. He loves getting a good community around it. That is a fun time. It's the best social gambling game you can do. Yeah.

It's so communal, right? Yes. But he, he gives you license to, like, have fun. because he's having fun. He's shitting on the dealer, on the credit, calling him shit show, senior shit show, like in a fun,

lovable way, when he's losing. And then there was this thing where this kid would always roll and he'd look at me and we'd make eye contact. So you kind of like have a little fun. You're like batting your eyes.

You're licking your lips and stuff. And then he keeps winning. I'm like, fuck, I got to keep up in the game. So like, so he's getting ready to roll. I sneak up behind him.

I go between his legs. I'm down on the ground between his legs looking up at him like this. and he maintains eye contact, rolls it. Joe hits horn high aces on it. It wins like 1750. So now I'm like constantly doing shit. And, you know, his buddy lifts me up.

I put my feet on the fucking craps table. And I'm starting to finger myself. I'm like, ah. And it's been diabolical. And then he hits on the fucking monster bet. And they're like, oh my God. Like, it kept going. What did you do next?

Then I. You guys come when I started jerking them off. One guy up here, one, two guys over here. Funny, bring it up. I got two bottles of water, and as he's doing it, I'm going like this, and then I go, and I squirt the water all over me, and I'm just drenched in water, and again, he hits. The kid rolled for an hour in like five minutes. No way.

And I was doing all this crazy shit, and I was exhausted, but it's because Gatto was, like, egging me on, and he's that guy that's, like, so, like, he pratt falls everywhere. We're in the airport, and he'll walk. towards somebody's luggage and he'll just trip over it and he'll pick it up he's like oh I'm so sorry but he can't get up either

like the first two he's got to wrestle with the thing it's nonstop with it no cameras on he's still doing that no cameras he still does it no way go if there's like stanchions he'll walk through the stanchion

and get wrapped up in it and pull them both down and create the biggest bang you've ever heard and people like oh my god are you okay aren't you from Brad to gojo and he's like no I'm not that guy and then he'll just run away

it's fucking crazy Just run away, dude. That's so funny. It is really fucking funny. We do a pod together called two cool moms where we take people's like questions and answer them. Jack. Jack loves moms.

Jack loves moms. Who else loves moms? The quarterback for the Jet. Jack Wilson loves moms. Pretty much. I guess I'm the designated mom guy now. Yeah. Talked about the last pod.

It's crazy because when Jack first came on and juice boxes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jack, when he first. came on, we tried to get him, what, it's Potthead Jack? Stoner Jack.

Stoner Jack. And he was not how, he's like, guys, my parents, we can't do that. We bring a milf lover and he's like, yeah, I could, I can handle that. I can handle being a milf lover. Well, the mustard. I mean, yeah, my career, I wasn't getting paid at the time. I guess you just called me Stoner Jack. How long you had the stash?

A couple years. He's had that mustard for a little bit. Somebody brought up a very good point. Billy off Stranger Things. I feel like it's a vibe you're going for. Is that true or false? It wasn't like my intention, but I can see it. for sure.

You go a little bit longer? And the show, Billy goes for Mike's mom. Yeah, that's why I thought. Maybe Jake is doing it. I'm glad to hear you like moms, because you do look like every other Amber Alert. Yeah. We interrupt this episode to bring you go-courrency.

The first, I watched Titanic with my grandma in theaters. Did you cry? Oh, no, I didn't cry. I was too young to feel the emotions of the movie. Ever since when the boobs came out, it was kind of the whole. movie was a blur after that, you know? Paint me like your French girls. I was like, man, we're done. It's weird. It's weird. That was jerk off in front of your grandma.

Yeah, it's tough. That was awkward, though. Those are moving out. She's sitting right next to you. She put her hand over my eyes and I'm like, get out of the way, dude. I feel like that was my first movie where my parents should cover my eyes through. The first pair of boobs I ever saw it and like it changed me. Yeah. It's Titanic? Yeah. It's still probably a top five movie to me of all time. Really? I love that movie.

Fuck, it's been a few years for sure. It's still holds up there. No. No, it's been like six months. I watch it during the season. maybe after week one. I had a tough week one and I really just wanted to get emotional. Before you go to the gym, you get pumped out. I'm flying with you, Jack.

You can sing though. You sang a jelly roll. Thank you for saying that dude. Is that a bad thing that? He said, no. Jelly roll? I was like, oh, shit. Yeah.

Wolfie's like, I've never seen someone go up there and just give it. It's like, yeah. In my head, I was like, I'm about to blow these people away. I have no idea how it actually went. Yeah, it was great. I'll tell you, I, first of, jelly roll could do stand-up.

Yeah. Oh, my God. So, he'd be so good. You can do stand-up. I appreciate that. Yeah, you definitely good. Knowing you and then hanging with you and then being on the show, I, like, there's a, because I watched the clips, this, you guys have more chemistry than

some comics on their podcasts. And you could do this. You could do stand-up, I'm sure if you wanted to. Well, you texted me. Yeah. And I, was it August 4th? Because we were hanging backstage. And you, you had said two or three funny things in the, in the green room.

I was like, oh, fuck, you, you got to. great sense of humor. But you, I think what's, like, doing this is one thing, but then being on stage and you have to have, like, presence, right? You have to have some semblance of presence. Even like somebody like Nate, who's pretty, like, dry in terms of his delivery, he still has a great presence on stage, you know? Jezelneck, incredibly dry. He just gives nothing to the audience, but he definitely has a different presence than, like, Chrysher, for example, or some more. But you guys both have a great presence. And that night you did it, I was, I was really blown away.

to know that that was the first time you had been on stage, but then to deliver jokes like that was fucking great. Yeah, I feel like you would be really good at that. Writing and all that. We've talked about it a bunch. Yeah. It's funny, dude. Yeah.

It was funny to see it. Live shows. Oh, we're next to the Ryman, baby. We're doing the rhymin. Well, we haven't. No, no, we haven't. But we are putting in. The Ryman said, hey, we're doing the Ryman next and the Ryman,

Twitter like sends some eyes. So you guys are crushed. I guess you could say it's been the word crush. I'm telling you. Yeah. Well, I feel like we could do, like, go to our spots. Yeah. the live show, especially for bus with the boys. The live show was a blast. And we did,

we, we got the live show. Will called me as a hey, do you want to do a live show at Zanis? And I was like, yeah, sounds good. Because you'll agree to anything if it's far enough away. You don't really think about it too much, right? Right. Yeah. So it gets closer and closer. I'm like, I even go to Will. I'm like, we should probably write a couple things about what we should do. Yeah. And did not do a fucking thing. Right. Didn't do a thing. And there was a couple people from Barstool that came to see the show. Like, hey, do you guys prepare anything? Like, no. Not at all. I sent you because we could never get with Steve because I like Steve once.

So it doesn't help with that. That's right. Because he sent the email and I was like, hey, check out this email. And then yes, you got to go to KFC where it's like, all right, they have a podcast there during a last show. What did the- What did you live? Because they asked both of us to come on the show. Right.

Will couldn't. He just had a new baby. So I'll go because I really want to see like what the vibe was like on a stage like that and everything. And once I left there, I was like, we're going to be just fine. Yeah. But it was nerve-wracking before. Like sitting in that green room? I was nervous.

You were not. You were nervous. Because I was nervous about the stand-up. He had to do stand-up. So his nerve level for the show is like, we're good. And you got a buddy with you too. Like you have a buddy system. Like when we're us.

Like, it was so cool to see how supportive you were, though, of him. That was really cool. That was a boy. Yeah, but I mean, most comics don't have that. Like, you're kind of going up for the first time and you're new to the scene. You don't have anybody really there. But to see how supportive, you were beaming about him. And it was almost like you scored a touchdown.

The way you came into the, in the green room. It was really cool to see. I'll tell you, it's my guy. Yeah. That's my guy. That was one of the most fun nights I've had. That was actually my first time in Zanis. Oh, wow.

Yeah. And then being around all y'all. And after we're all drinking the places shut down. Oh, that was such a good fucking time. It was a feeling you're like, man, it's like living somewhere for so long. And then you find out there's this whole new world that's just as exciting and more fun than most of the things you usually do on a regular basis. Instead of going to bars, like go to Zanis.

It's so much fun. Even like last night I was at the comedy seller. And every time I go, because now I visit, you know, I go and pop in and do my sets. And the seller is like the club in New York, right? You want to be passed there. It's where everybody goes and meets. And you walk in and Chris Rock's there.

Kevin Hart's there. T.J. Miller's there. Mark Norman's there. Samarillo's there. And you just know, all right, T.J.'s there. Fuck, now I'm drinking. And, you know, you leave at 5 in the morning. But it's like that communal spot where, you know,

you can walk in with me. And next thing you're sitting at a table with all the best comics in New York City. And you just having a fucking blast. Just stuff you couldn't even. You couldn't make up in your own head as a child. Yeah, yeah. I mean, Kevin's just, just like mad dogging me. And I hadn't seen him in years.

We were just catching up. And he's just going on to this bit. And I'm dying laughing. And then you're watching him and Chris, they're filming a doc at the time. And then T.J. Miller, who's just, I think, one of the, like, almost like an Andy Kaufman-esque of, like, stand-up comics where he'll just go up and just do crazy shit

outside the box. And he had the comic before, I was to go up after him. So he was doing bits and then he had the MC come back up and introduce him like two or three more times because he felt like it wasn't going well. And then he was doing these bits and it was weird. And then I said what you should do is before he brings me up,

you go up again as yourself when they bring me up. And then he brought me up as Kevin Hart. Yeah. And so it was fucking great. That club, this is my favorite seller story of all time. I was just new there, maybe like a year in. and on any given night, anybody could walk through the door. And so this, maybe two years, a year in on stand-up comedy, two years in.

So I go in and Godfrey's hosting and it's a Tuesday night. The seller's not the seller like what it is now, right? Now it's like a tourist spot and it's packed every night and there's three different rooms. But then it was just maybe 100 people on a Tuesday night. Godfrey goes up. He's like, ladies and gentlemen, this is why I love the comedy seller. You never know who's going to stop in here. tonight. So tonight we got a special guest. Ladies and gentlemen, how about it for Rob Williams?

Rob William goes up for like 30 minutes. It just crushes, crushes, right? And all the young comics are kind of waiting to go up and stuff. And then Godfrey goes back up. He's like, oh my God, guys, you're never going to believe this. How about a big round applause? Ray Romano. Now, everybody loves Raymond. We're still on the air. Ray Romano comes in. Place goes bananas. And then Godfrey goes back up. He's like, guys, this is just one of those nights. I can't believe I'm saying this. But ladies and gentlemen, big round applause, Dave Chappelle. Chappelle walks in. They're losing their fucking. fucking minds.

Yeah. It's Tuesday. They paid $10 to go in. What a win. Back up. Comics are slowly like leaving because they know the night's getting longer. It goes back up. Ladies and gentlemen, uh, Jerry Seinfeld.

Seinfeld comes in. The fucking place. They're going nuts, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Seinfeld comes off. I'm the only one staying now, okay? Because everybody's gone home now. And Godfrey goes back up.

He's like, ladies of John, I can't believe I'm saying this. I've never seen it like this. Chris Rock. Chris Rock goes up. fucking destroys, right? They're giving them a standing ovation. How long are these sets they're doing? They're all doing like 20, maybe a half hour.

Holy shit, so we're in there for three and a half hours now. Oh, yeah, those shows would go from 9 or 2 in the morning. No way. I was the only one that stayed left. Godfrey goes back up, he goes, guys, you're not going to believe us. I cannot believe him saying this. Ladies and gentlemen, Eddie Murphy,

people are fucking standing up, applauding, crying, he goes, just kidding, Steve Byrne. No shit. Oh my... So how'd you deal? I fucking bombed. Oh my God. I mean a plate of dicks that night

because it was just like that sustainment of excitement and everything that they had. But as a young comic, again, it's one of those learning experiences and we were just watching the best of the best

and then going upstairs and hearing their stories was fucking great. Now when you have that much star power around and you're like new starting out, is there like what you're allowed to do and not allowed to do? Like, is there like an unwritten rule

of being able to like, hey, you can only hang out for this long? you probably shouldn't. You don't want to sit there in the room with everyone and kind of just stick around for, be the guy that sticks around for too long. Well, at the cellar in particular, it's called the table.

And the tables where only past comedians can sit there. So you get a bunch of comics that come and they want to be around. Yeah. So they go off to the other tables. But the table's the table. So you sit at the table during your sets. But when those guys come in,

you just shut the fuck up and listen. Really? Some great stories, yeah. God, that's awesome. That's incredible. I mean, you've been doing comedy since 97. 97, yeah. 20 plus years.

No. So it's been a long time. Yeah. Talk about that grind. I mean, you've been in it for obviously fucking decades. It's the best job in the world. But I think what I like now is like seeing all my friends hit at different times, right? Like Chrysler again, like a grinder that just kept getting passed up. Sebastian, you know, I mean, the guy's doing, what, eight shows sold out Madison Square Garden. And there was a period of time where nobody wanted anything to do with him.

Like nothing to do with him. But we all, like, at the store, we always would have impressions of comics we loved. And Sebastian had this joke. So anytime, you know, Sebastian would be on stage, you know, you'd walk in and be like, who's on stage? You go, ample martini. And just like, oh, that's your way of saying Sebastian, you know?

So it's fun to see, like, guys hit at different points that really deserve it. And then there's guys like Steve Simone that don't hit, but you still love watching. And I don't know, it's just fun to see the growth. and even like guys like Mark Norman and Samarrell, these Joe List, these guys in New York City, they're blowing up. It's fun to see them take the industry within themselves because before you'd have to wait for the anointment of the industry, Netflix or HBO, to give you your first break.

But now it's like Andrew Schultz, you just release it on your own platform and then all the comics get together and via social media blow it the fuck out to help that individual. And now you're getting 10 million views on YouTube and monetizing that and making just as much money and kind of given a finger to the industry, which I love that I can't believe Mark Norman, one of the most prolific, and Sam and Joe, these guys are all joke writers,

they're craftsmen, they really take their job seriously. And Netflix passed them up, and it's like, now they're bigger than they, than ever. They're doing theaters and stuff, and they deserve it.

Yes. Because of politics? I think, I think there are, the industry, you can't take it personally. You know, I'm sure much like your industry, you got to,

you got to, there's a point where, like if you get traded, right it's just like you can let your emotions get involved but there is a business to this at the end of day too and the industry in our business they're heat-seeking missiles they want to go after people that got a little heat or a little cachet and every few years there's this new individual that comes out the industry backs but but you got to go with the tried and true the people that are grinding like mark or sam or joe or you know any of us when we're younger so so you're saying but with the new

stuff you don't really need the Netflix anymore huh same thing with um chris de stephano He did his stand-up, and he's like Netflix can have it if they want it, blah, blah, and they ended up coming after he even filmed the thing. Everybody turned him down and then he released it on YouTube or Shane Gillis as well. His shit is that stand-up. That stand-up thing is so funny. I thought the Stephano was hilarious too. And all those guys, they took it upon themselves. And before they were doing this, like Joe Koi is another perfect example, right?

The guy is blowing up. He's selling out theaters. The industry wants nothing to do with him. So he goes out, he's got deep enough pockets. He says, well, fuck it. I'll just film it myself. He goes back home to Seattle, gets a big theater, blows at the fuck out, looks at the credits, goes, he's the DP on that thing. I'll call him up.

He's the director on that. I'll call him up. Gets all the people that worked on the other ones, puts the sweat equity and money value into it. And then goes back to it and says, this should be on. They go, yeah, fuck, of course, yeah. And then it goes on. And now he's got to film with Steven Spielberg. It's like, yeah, that's, he took it again.

All these guys were talking about took a gamble on themselves and took a, money out of the pocket and put production value behind the things that they're doing and now they're being rewarded for it and they deserve it too because it's talent meets sweat equity meets commerce so when you're talking about comics and different styles storytellers

and joke writers craftsmen and stuff like that is there like kind of a seasonal thing like people are really into like shot comedy right now are people really into storytelling right now that the industry gets behind like someone could be behind a burke crash and there's like a Ralphie Mae or it's like oh this you just kind of saying whatever it depends on the voice right

I mean, there's different voices for different periods of time, right? Like Bill Burr is, I think, the voice of right now. Yeah. You have... He's Mount Rushmore, in he? I mean, Mount Rushmore, for me, yeah, I probably put him up there, but I also started with him. So I don't look at him like everybody else does, you know,

where it's like, oh my God, it's Bill Burr. It's like, you know, this is Bill who we perform at Dangerfields in front of 15 people, and he would go on these, you know, quote unquote, misogynistic kicks. And I would see a 65-year-old woman go and go to strangle Bill Burr. Little shit. She got up and Bill just took the mic stand and held it in front of him like this. He's like, lady, you can't do this. You can't do this, lady?

Because there was no security. So Bill's just like holding it like the crucifix and the exorcist, backing her away. And eventually her husband came and dragged her off. But I mean, Burr is. Yeah, I mean, he's definitely the comic right now. I, I'd put him above Chappelle even, I think, in terms of just hitting a different stride and blowing up and being so I received that he is this lightning rod for comedy right now that everybody knows and loves him. Who would be on your Mount Rushmore? Carlin, Pryor, Rock, for me, I love Chris Rock.

I put Bill Berther there. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know. There's also, I don't know, there's so many different factions of stand up, too. So I know this is like a comedy, a comedian episode. There's no laughs because I'm talking about the art of comedy. No, this is awesome.

Yeah, I love this. I don't know. There's so many just different gears. And like I'm reading that book Elvis and Vegas. But the book's really about entertainment of Vegas, how Vegas came to be. And all these great performers and entertainers that performed out of Vegas. I love Dean Martin. I love Bob Hope.

I love Johnny Carson. I'll watch. I'll love Dangerfield. Dangerfield's one of my favorites. and you could watch a Dangerfield set today and you could put it in front of where all different brackets of ages and generations, you could put Dangerfield on right now

fucking kills, still kills. My wife is so ugly. I took her to the fishing pier. All the fishermen go, oh, what bait you use? I mean, that's a fucking great joke. It's so quick and just right there and compact. I don't know. I love like that kind of delivery.

I love Weekend Update watching Colin Joseph and Michael Chey. Yeah. And they got Evergreen kind of one. liners. Have you seen the skit they did it where they wrote each other's jokes? That's the fucking best. It's probably the funniest thing I've ever seen. Absolutely. It is hilarious. It's my favorite thing. And they truly don't know. And Chait loves to bury Jost. Oh my God. Kills that man. But Jost is such a great writer. People don't know. That guy was a head writer like in his 20s. So that's he came out on the road with me when he was just writing.

And for three summers, he would just come out and we got to know each other. And that dude is prolific. We just went and did a run of shows. And we woke up at like eight, golfed all day, hung out with the guys, had dinner and lunch, you know, and then literally rush back to the hotel, shower up, go do the show in front of 2,000 people. And from the night before, he had 15 new minutes. I was like, when did you work on that? He was like, oh, it was just in my head all day. I was like, how the fuck.

For 15 minutes. But to prepare and memorize, like, I'd have to sit down and put in a notebook and write it out. and he just did it on stage. It was fucking, and when he would go on the road with me in his 20s, he would have a new 15 minutes every night. I'm not joking, every night. That's unheard of.

That's how prolific he was. It really is a gift. He had three newspapers next to him at the pool. He'd go swimming in the morning. I remember, I was hung over, and I'd have to go do morning radio. That dude, I don't think I'm speaking out of school. He's Harvard educated,

good-looking, handsome, married to a movie star. he's the friend I have that shit his pants most in public. Really? You want to hear shit your pants stories? Yeah, do. To Colin Jost. He's shit his pants during finals in Harvard, where he's sitting in shit.

Does you have like irritable bowel syndrome? Or what's the problem? He's nervous. I don't know. He's a nervous shitter. I think he's lactose intolerant. And we'd go get ice cream. He's like, this is the gamble I'm willing to take every time I have ice cream.

I usually like that, though. I just a tier one dessert in my opinion. Yeah. It's out there, dude. So when I look at him and he always laces in shit jokes once every two or three weeks, and I'm like, I know where this is coming from. Yeah. Because he experiences it himself.

Is it hard to stay patient for your time? And I'm not talking like you specifically, but as you're a comment coming up, staying patient. Like you see you're growing through your career with all these guys. You see guys at their moments. Oh, yeah. You know, you guys see that too in your industry. For sure. Yeah.

Absolutely. You're getting rewarded. It's a little bit different, though, because. It's pretty cut and dry in football. Like, you're either producing or you're not producing. There's politics when you get to, like, the practice field in camp. Like, a guy who is undrafted. Sure.

It's not going to have a fair enough shot to a guy's like a third round pick or something like that. They're going to give a guy. Not as many opportunities you should like. But you get on the field on a Sunday and you ball, it's like the tape, don't lie. Yeah, it's cutting dry. In comedy, it's more like it's a creative space. So everybody's energy is a little bit different. And there's so many different styles.

Yeah, a lot of different styles. Yeah. And it's longer. Like, you've been on the stage since 97. It's like football is a finite career. like a very short career. Yeah, look, I mean, the healthiest way to do it is, I always got in the mindset of like, we're all golfing.

I got to concentrate on my game. I can't concentrate on your game. Your game means nothing to me. I don't even golf, but that was my way of making it analogous and healthy for myself. Analogous. I think the great thing. Hey, Google that. Oh.

Do you know what that word means? I mean analogy, but just like a bigger way of saying? Thank God. I was going to Google that later. I was going to be in my van trying to figure out. Like, let's make it, oh. Guys, I am half Korean. Yeah.

Well, there it is. There's more waters we can't tread. Let's talk about porn, and you guys will demolish me, okay? So I'm half Korean, ladies. My search bar is a little bit. Your search bar a little different? Yeah. But I think, like, in that industry, it's so easy to see.

But now what the difference was, the industry would anoint certain individuals, like Minnie Kaelic, for example, right? She was anointed pretty early on, Ivy League educated. and just running with a great career. And I'm sure she works really hard at it, of course. But with comedy, the industry would annoy you based off a great tonight show set. But if the booker didn't like you, well, you're not getting on and you could kill on the road. Nowadays, you don't need that shit.

Bird's a perfect example. Like the industry ignored him for years. He just did a movie with Mark Hamel. I mean, he did it on his own. Shultz did it on his own. All these guys are doing it on their own. Where's the co- MVP of this podcast right now? He's been brought up a lot today.

He has been talked to it. Yeah. But I mean, I really am. He's a great beacon of hope for people that are talented that just got passed over. And he did it on his own. And for me, my journey, it's funny, over COVID, I watched my hour specials because for five years, I've been working on this hour that I'm filming here in Tennessee. I'm filming at Saturday, August 27th at Franklin Theater. And for years, everybody said no to me.

Nobody wanted my new hour. Like, nope. you're done you're like washed up i had a sitcom i had an and nobody wanted anything to do with me and then i had this film that came out during pandemic of course and it did well but well enough right but didn't have like an impact so i'm just sitting there waiting and waiting for like a fucking yes well somebody say yes to this and i thought okay i'm thinking i'm going to have to do this on my own but then finally somebody from amazon saw it but it was only because i think i had the time to go back and be accountable for my act I went back and I watched all my hours and I was like, it was good.

It's it. It was good. It wasn't great. Like if I were to listen to a podcast of Will and I, sometimes I'm like, why people listen to this? Like, it's just us hang out, you know? Yeah. So you're going to be a massive critic of your own self.

Like you're just hearing yourself talking and everything. But you got to be accountable for, I think it's easy to go, oh, well, fuck it or they're racist or I'm fucking great or this. You can make a thousand excuses. But if you don't take the time to look at yourself and go, no, it's just not good enough. You didn't do well enough. You got to do better. And so I pushed myself even further and harder and really wrote and went out to my friends and said,

can you take a look at this? Can you help me with this? And then going, oh, this is, tweak this and that'll be fucking. And then it all kind of glums together. And then after I did this self-accountability, look at myself, the mirror, I go, okay, now take another stab at it. And I did. And then Amazon said, all right, let's do it.

And it took, that was the hardest yes I've ever gotten in this industry. It took so much fucking rejection. And so whether it hits, whether it doesn't, I'm just fucking proud that finally, like, I did the work and it paid off. And we'll see what happens. That's awesome. I like how you said all that stuff too

with the self-accountability aspect. Because you're like, yeah, we can come on. And I feel like we, obviously, sometimes it sucks to hear our voice over and over. But like with football. Right. You hear yourself? Like you play something back in like, I sound like that.

Yeah. Me, especially. The amount of times I have it's, somebody go to, I didn't think you'd sound like that. This is how big I am. A tough life I'm living out here. You know what I'm saying? I like, I should sound like the dude from the Allstate commercials.

That black dude. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. But I don't. I sound like a fucking six-year-old. Think about what it is. There's a lot of guys who would be in denial about their own game thinking like, I'm not sure how I didn't make things like that is the most annoying shit when people do that.

Yeah, but it's kind of like the same thing. Like you go back and actually look at how you play and then you go and get peer perspective. Like sometimes you might be nervous to go get another outside of. to be hard to do. But like going against somebody, hey, actually do like watch this for me, check this out for me. Give me your honest feedback. Like don't be around the bush. Like I, I think that's. But isn't there like when somebody, you always see this, right? Somebody has a breakout year, contract year. Then they go to like the Yankees, for example, whatever team you want. And they get this major fucking contract. And then they just don't produce. Is there like

a complacency when you hit a truly ridiculous amount of money that you see some? times in athletes. It's all dependent on the individual. Yeah. Like some guys, from going from somewhere to somewhere else, I think a lot of times depends what position you play. Like if you're a receiver and you had all these yards, but they were throwing you the ball all the time.

And then you go to a team that maybe has more players or something like that and you're not as utilizing that offense. Right. That might play. And there is a level of complacency that guys do get when it's the, um, this guard, his name was David DeCastro. He plays for the Steelers. He got broke off paid one year.

And I was, it was, two thousand, six. we're at the Pro Bowl and he's like, these are going to be the next, the hardest five years of my life. I'm like, why? It was because that motivation to get paid is now gone. So where else is that chip now? Albert Haynesworth? Albert Haynesworth.

But there's probably more guys than not that don't grind. There's got to be of a level of like, you have to have a different why than money. If your why is just money, you're not going to succeed to your ultimate potential. So this is something I do wonder, because you guys do this professionally, but does the competitive fire kind of wane

once you become a professional understanding? We're all pros here. You know, like I'm a huge hockey guy, right? So you're seeing guys play and even in the fighting, they don't want to necessarily really hurt each other. But the games also evolved so much. Right. That there's not like these guardians of the ice anymore

where it's like these dudes are here to play three minutes and beat the shit out of people. Yeah, yeah. So that's a different thing. But what I think is that's so different is in football, it's just hard, dude. Competitively, you're either competitive or you're not. There's guys that are ultimately super talented,

and you can come in at any time with, but there's guys that are crazy talented and are just like, good, and they can turn on and off whenever they want. Julius Peppers is a guy that reminds me of that because even at his older age, playing against him, he looked like he didn't really care,

but then all of a sudden, he'd be like, I'm going to get a sack real quick. And he'd just go fucking light somebody up because he just was that good. Sure, yeah. And there's guys like Michael Jordan, where it doesn't matter, the cash never mattered to him.

It was really about, like, I need to win and be the best. That competitive. Yeah, LeBron, Kobe, those guys. But that's why you see those guys transcend up to the top. Right. It's because they have that competitive edge. They're fueled by something else other than the success of what other people say

or what their peers think about them. They're fueled by whatever's inside of them. It's not like fame, money, and everything else. I think it just all depends on these. Social media, like with comedy, like I hear so many comments go, fuck, I don't want to do this. Like you have to post. You almost have to do a podcast now as a comic, right?

And a lot of them just don't want to do. They just don't want to do it, right? But professional athletes, I mean, do you feel that you need to do it? I just love doing it. For this podcast. For this podcast, if you were just strictly an athlete without the podcast, would you be active on it or would you just be like, fuck it, I'm good, I'm on the field.

I don't have to, I don't have to market myself. But there is still a marketability for everybody. Yeah, go ahead. I was just going to say, I was going to say, yeah, like, if there was no podcast, like I've always enjoyed, like, whether it's making people laugh or showing people, you know, things that go on. Like, I've always enjoyed that stuff.

Like, I've always goofed around and, like, had fun with it. So I think I would be doing it no matter what. But also, like, when you are an athlete, like, seeing it as, like, you know, NFL stands for not for long. Like, the average career is 2.8 years. Sure, yeah. There's only a finite amount of time that you're going to have to play this sport. Now, not everybody's going to cash out and be able to hit, like, some huge bag.

Like, you should do well if you're in the league for several years. Like, you should be well enough to give yourself a cushion for a couple years. But eventually you're going to have to be able to have to be. have to find something to do. And even people who make a lot of money, like, you're still going to have some kind of curiosity whenever you're done playing. So whenever you do have, like to me, the way I look at it, when you do have the shield, you need to use it as much as you can. Even when you're in college, especially with NIL now, but before the NIL stuff, like, you have a certain amount of time to shake as many hands as possible, network as much as,

network as much as you can. I always say your jokes are funnier, you're better looking, all this stuff while you're playing. So you need to take advantage of it. And so, social media is a way to build your brand, whether or not you have a podcast or anything else. Right. You have this platform, these platforms to kind of maximize the window that you're in. Right. If you're trying to parlay it into something else. Because whenever it's gone and it's behind you.

Right. And so you weren't doing anything. You don't care about you near as much. Yeah. People don't know what the league's not going to take care of you afterwards. People don't care about you as much. And everybody's going to like any opportunity you try to create or make, they're going to be, oh, you know, he's kind of trying to get back into something now that now the ball's over. Sure, yeah.

So that's how I've always looked at it. I've always enjoyed it. And now it's like having this stuff gives me even more very easy. How great of a time is it for you guys? I mean, to have this that you built up and now you know the track set. Like when it does eventually draw it to a close, you have this next venture, which is so fucking awesome. Because there's a lot of comic or a lot of professional athletes. I know that deal with the depression that comes with it.

With, you know, the pivot and change of loss of identity, having a regimented schedule. That last one you just said is got to be probably the biggest one. Yeah. That loss of identity. Because when you play sports, especially you play football and even hockey, like you're a big hockey fan. Like you got to commit to that sport fast and quick, especially in hockey,

but your whole life is that. And then you got guys who put their head down and grind. Like before this podcast, I didn't even think about anything other than football. And then once this podcast started, there was a level of pressure in the back of my head that I didn't even realize I had where I said, when this thing started going off,

it's like, okay, I know I'm going to be okay after football. Sure. I know I'm going to be all right. for whether it's the identity thing, whether it's what am I going to do? Right. Like, how am I going to still like the scratch this isch of being competitive? Whether it's like, you know, numbers going up and all that or like some sort of creative outlet.

Right. That's definitely something that's, I think, guys are really, really struggle with when they're done. Right, right. Really hard time. Yeah, because it's like the stuff we talked about Eric Wood, like finding that next roller coaster. Like we've lived a, we've lived our entire lives to play a sport like our dream and we're living out our dream. Yeah.

And it's going to come to a close. And when it does, it's like, you know, if you know, if you're, you're lucky enough to play to 30. You have hopefully the majority of your life left. Like, what are you going to, like, do or put your energy into? And I think guys do struggle because we're put on this pedestal for our entire lives. Like, our years are built around ourselves. Yeah.

Yeah. We're, like, selfish with our time. And, like, because money is, like, the factor that says, hey, I make X amount, this life should be around me because I'm on TV every weekend. Sure. And then when that's over with, it's not, like, you realize like. That's pretty fucking awesome. Yeah.

It's a dope professional. Oh, yeah. Like college, dude, college, you're, like, you go to a major university at Nebraska and Michigan, there's a silver spoon the whole time. You're at that school. Yeah, I went to Kent State. I don't know. I know.

The Golden Flagg. That's a big deal right there. 218 and 24. There you go. I got the fever. You had the fever, baby. But when you're there, like, you're going and you're working through all the stuff, but your hand is held the whole time.

Yeah. I was a guy that grinded on that 2.0. I would do whatever I could just to keep the 2.0. Rined it on that 2.0. I would let go and teach you, hey, if you just change these couple of things, you can get a B instead of a C. Yeah. Why?

I'll just get the C. It's what I'm passing. I'm solid. What do you mean? I'm going to play. Degrees. Your degree doesn't say C on it.

It's his fucking degree. That's right. You know? And so, but when you're there, like, you have the academic centers. You have the tutors. You have all this stuff. Can I still play on Saturday? Yeah.

Dude, that's the truth. So Cee allows me to still play. Like, yeah. See means good to go, right? That means I can play. They're like, yes. You for the stars. I see them.

Yeah. They're nice. It's a beautiful view, but if you're in the stars, you can't see the stars. You know what I'm saying? Fuck that shit. I want to look at them, bitchy. That's nice. That's Joe, 22 hours.

I saw plenty of stars, dude. I love his laugh. Yeah, you got to. It's, dude, it's, but it's what it is, dude. And these guys, like, I was lucky enough to go play in the NFL. Some of these guys finished college and they're like, you're not the man anymore. It's over. Yeah.

You know, and it's just, it's finding a way to figure out, not being the man from, like, people know who you are, how much money? Like, how do you feel in yourself that's, that's, same confidence you had when you were sure yeah yeah or were you know all that and that was I think it's gonna be a hard thing for a lot of guys. Do you find it alarming that there's more coverage on

football than national politics? I think it's better I think that you should have more you should have more coverage on football than politics. As much coverage as possible. As much coverage as possible. It's like the crazy politics is fucking insane. Every time I turn on my on my Instagram it's Biden stuttering

at something and a couple years ago is Trump being racist about something it's just like Yeah. Too much. We know what Taylor's algorithm feeds him. Oh, I just played both sides. Stop the clip. It's just too much, dude.

Do you watch the news? Do you go home and you turn on CNN? I watch the news. I do watch both. I do watch both. So I love to get my January 6th update on one network. And then, yeah, hear the pro police update on the other network. But I love, I love, I, I,

just as a comic, I really hope Trump runs again. God. I fucking love it. It's like a Christmas buffet. That dude does not stop giving. He's fucking fantastic. Material for days, huh? Oh my God, I fucking love him.

It's crazy. You talk to some of them right-wing castes. Like, well, you know, Fox is actually owned by the liberals too. It's just, it's crazy. This whole world we're living in like Illuminati type shit. Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, it was so funny how like Elon Musk is like this golden child. And then he's like, I think I'm like, Republican.

He's like, this guy's a piece of shit, man. Yeah. So I just think it's so fascinating and the pendulum swings that the media has and everything. But just like as a comedian, I'm strictly speaking as a comedian. I fucking love Trump.

I think he is just absolutely fascinating. He doesn't give a fuck. He just says whatever he wants. Yeah. I mean, the fact that clip the part where he says I fucking love Trump, that's it. Yeah, yeah.

That's all we need. Yeah, it's all we want. Yeah. And hearts around me. But, I mean, you know, the fact that he... Twitter's going to love this episode this big voice. Here they go again.

Another one. Here they go again. Like, when he's asked questions, like, what do you think of Heidi Klum? And he's like, well, sadly, she's no longer a 10. It's like, that's fucking crazy. She's no longer... You describe a human being as no longer being a 10. Like, I'm like, keep those coming.

Please, let me write that down. Yeah, politics are fun. Politics are not for me, dude. Yeah. Not for me. Not interested in it. To me, like, everybody gets way too... There's too much...

Way to much. Yeah, the emotional involvement. Like, I'll just... Listen, I'm just trying to live my... I'm just trying to, like, do my daily stuff. People say, if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything, I say, fuck that, dude. I'll not stand for anything.

It's the best. That way, get along with anybody. You know what I'm saying? I'll fall for it all. Yeah, I'll fall for it all. If I'm around somebody that's a Democrat, so am I, dude. If I'm around Republican, so I think Jeff Dye had a bit about that. Yeah, he did.

That shit was hilarious. I mean, for real, though, if people tell me something, I'm pretty gullible, I'll just be, oh, shit, for real? I'm like, damn, that's great. This man is the most gullible man of all time, bro. I want to talk about how the earth's flat guys. Yeah, I agree. I think, like, especially as a comic, I like to peg both of them. I like to shit on both of them, because comics, I think 85% are predominantly leftists.

And so when I tweet stuff that fills the void of the right, I get shit on, I get blocked. I'm like, I hit everybody. You guys know me. and I had a friend, a good friend, and a very popular comic, stopped talking me because of all the stuff. And... We need this. Go ahead.

I'll give you his initials. No, don't do that. Don't do that. I'll give you his... Neil Brennan. He just stopped talking about you because of the political thing? Yeah, because he's... Look, he's definitely pretty lefty.

I still love Neil. Like, I respect my flu to New York to see. show, but he said, I just can't talk to you. I'm sure at some point I'll see him. I'll hug him or whatever, but, but he basically was bent up because, you know, as co-creator Chappelle's show, I think you definitely have an in with a certain community of this nation, right? And people that predominantly vote Democrat. I'll just say that, black people. Yeah, yeah. So he, I'll just say that. So we were having this debate about January 6th and BLM riots. And I think rioting across the board is bad. And I think rioting the Capital is as bad as rioting city streets and destroying businesses.

And he was like, one is justified, one's not. And we were going on this, you know, pontification and debate about it. And he just said, I just can't talk to you anymore because the last election. I think it culminated because the last election, I couldn't vote for either candidate. He said, how do you not pick this over that? And I was like, I just, I'm a little, I'm a lot more apolitical, but I am very political in certain jokes. You know what I mean?

So I'm not emotionally invested in politics, but he is. And so for me, I like to kind of jab a bit more. I know. That's what I hate, like, potentially loosen homies over stuff like that. So I would just rather be like, you know, they'll say with somebody else say whatever they want to say. And I'm like, I'm not, I don't want to be emotionally invested in this kind of conversation. I want to still hang out. Like, whoever's sitting next thing might feel a certain way.

But I'm invested in a joke. I just like stay back. Yeah. I'm fucking any of those kinds of conversations. Yeah. Because to me, it's not worth all the like, hey, we're literally splitting up friendship-wise over something political. Yeah, unfortunately, in my industry, I'd say 95% of the people I work with are not only left,

but really left. In the entertainment industry, it is a bubble, absolutely, that people live with in this dome of, like, super progressive values. And I'm pretty progressive, but I'm not, like, I'm not, like, hardened. And, like, I believe in smaller government. I believe, you know, certain things. Yeah, if you want to get an abortion, I think you should, you know. So I have a perspective, I think that's kind of like more middle than most people.

But my peers are all pretty extreme. Balance is important in life. So why wouldn't you try to stay balanced in your views as well? I love living here because, like, the city's blue like most. The outskirts are red. And so when you go and perform at Zanis, you get this great hybrid of opinions. And so you could tell these fun jokes. And like one of the jokes, I don't do material on this, but, you know, it was a real experience.

Literally the first day I move in, the setup is real. The punch is a joke, right? And the setup is I was signing a package in this brand new home that I, first day I move in. And the UPS driver is like, so where did you move from? I'm like, oh, Los Angeles. He's like, California. I go, yeah, he goes, he goes, hey, will you do me a favor? I go, yeah.

He goes, you keep your fucking politics in California. And I was like, holy shit, okay. I'm in the South now. And my joke is, don't worry about the thing, sir. The only thing are brought with me is my black Jewish husband. Yeah.

That's the joke, right? Yeah, yeah. You're just kind of like finding a way, but I try to like, I just try to find a way to hit both sides, you know? Yeah. Yeah. I'm pro vibes, man.

Pro vibes for sure. That what a line. I'm a pro vibe. What a line by the boy. That's the truth, just keep the vibes and when they're all like. People angry about a lot of stuff. That was up in Canada for for a month.

They're mad about stuff up there too. Trudeau. They hate him. What are they? What's, what's... Trudeau? Yeah. Trudeau. Yeah. There's fuck Trudeau stickers.

That's like Canada's just America up there right now. What's, uh, fuck Trudeau? Oh, that's a part. Trudeau's like their guy. Okay. Like they're, uh, prime minister. Yeah. Yeah.

And he's like trying to do a whole bunch of stuff. He came in with good ideas, allegedly. I don't know. But it seems like people are really not about him. Really not about him. Great head of hair. Yeah. And I'm pretty sure, um, who was the guy who ran Cuba for a little bit.

What was his name? Castro? Yes. allegedly he's the illegitimate son. That's right, yeah. Those are always like the... Those are fun conspiracies. I love conspiracies, dude.

I love to go down a rabbit hole. Now, you start talking about flat earth. I'll take a stance on there right now. Come on. You know what I'm saying? That's just crazy. Who? What about a hollow earth?

Bro, there's too much weight up on here. We're going to fall through. What do you mean? Hollow earth? He's just asking. No, yeah, yeah. I don't know about that. But like, they talk about...

Have you seen loose change on YouTube? About 9-11. Oh, oh, yeah. It's a crazy deal now. You sit there and, you know, at the end of it, you're like, maybe. Where's the debris and shanksville? All that stuff. Yeah.

It's just a crazy deal. Then the whole idea of the Luminati. That whole, there's a bunch of people running the world. Yeah. That's fucking wild to me, lizard people. You know, it just kind of gets crazier and crazier as you go. The one I think is always funny. I love watching ancient aliens.

And I always thought it was funny how like, you know, when you see like the Great Wall of China, it's like the Chinese built that. And when you see, you know, something else. It's like, oh, these, you know, Stonehead is like, the British put this here in a, you know, denoted time or whatever. And then you see, like, pyramids. It's like, oh, yeah, aliens built those. There's no way these dirty brown people could build that shit. Why do you not believe that that's possible?

That's fucking crazy to me. Dude. But we can all agree that aliens are real, right? Yeah, are we, oh, is that a fact now that aliens are a real thing? I think it is. Imagine the first podcast with an alien on? We'll have it. Well, we blow up.

We'll have. We'll have a call, J.P. One second. Yeah. Yeah, hello. Beboot, boo. Aliens are real, right? I, look, I've always been a believer in UFOs.

Not like, not like, Tom DeLong. I heard, like, I don't know if I could. I don't know if I could. I don't know. You guys edit stuff? Yeah, we got to do. I mean, you literally. I mean, you literally. I mean, he?

Yeah, I was talking a friend. Who? Aaron Rogers. Aaron Rogers is an alien? No, that he's huge into it. I have a buddy who is a comic that's friends with him and hangs out. And he was like, oh, he's. But he's like, no, it's not, it's not Rogan.

But he was saying he's a big alien guy. Like, I was like, oh, shit, I never would have thought that. The more I read about him, the more I'm like, oh, maybe. He's out there. Yeah. I'm a huge fan of Aaron Rogers, though. Same, dude. He's a son.

We were playing, I signed my contract, and we played the Packers in a preseason game. And it's half time. I'm jogging in the locker room. And someone passed me on the ass and says, don't spend all that money in one place. And I look, and it's Rogers. Oh, wow. Never talked to him in my life. I just jogging gives me a wink.

keeps going. Since then, I've been a fan. That's awesome, man. Since that moment. It's a cool story. I can, like, picture that. It's like a commercial. It was cool. Like the Mean Joe Green commercial, the Coca-Cola commercial? Yeah, yeah. That's exactly it. Yeah, dude.

I love when him and Tomlin had that moment. Mike Tomlin, when he gave Mike Tomlin the wink, and Tomlin gave him the head nod. Oh, you're talking about when he was all in the field? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I went to Ben's last game, Big Ben's last game in Pittsburgh. That was a pretty cool thing to witness. He's a stud, dude.

Just that city just revealed. years, Ben Rothesberger, and just like the outpouring of emotion. And it was really cool to see, especially in this day and age, you guys know more than anybody, where you just move around, right? Team to team, but the Rooney stuck by him and stayed with him. And he got to retire a steal. It was pretty cool. If him and A.B.

And Levyon Bell stayed together. You think they could have won it? Yeah. They wouldn't have been. Ben would have had two, huh? That's one of those. Damn. What's your take on A?

I heard AB wants to come back to Pittsburgh And I was like that city has Well you see Tomlin on Pivot 36 bridges and you burned them all Yeah Tomlin was on pivot I believe And he was like well listen We all know that's not happening

I love AB blah blah Dude I was with Tomlin He was the coach of the AFC team And the Pro Bowl And AB didn't show up to the game Until 5 minutes for the game started After warmups And Tom was there

He's like yeah he does this every time I don't like taking his money I just have to sometimes Oh Jesus Christ But he's like he just But, like, Tomlin's that dude that he's the guy, he's the type of coach that can handle those type of personalities. I love that, man. I've never played for him.

I spent a week with him, and I would run through a wall for that guy. He seems like an awesome, just an awesome dude. She's the kind of respect he has, too, from all the players who are playing for him. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I like in the media how people, you know, there's always like the offshoot rumor mill, you're like bloggers or whatever. It's like, he's not going anywhere. Yeah.

Roonies are so, I mean, their track record says, you're our guy, you're our guy. They're going to stick. being a place like that. I heard it was between him and Ken Wisenhunt to get that job back in the day. Oh, wow. So. But that organization just from the top,

they're so nice, like Rocky Blyer, I've got to know that guy, and their alumni is so ingrained with the, with going to the games, and he's always taking pictures and stuff with people.

It was just, I don't know. Yeah. I'm about that team, that market. Yeah, that team's cool. And the stadium's cool on the three rivers. Yeah.

It's just a cool place. Fun to play. What's that song they played in the fourth quarter? Oh, Yeah, dude. That shit goes off. That shit goes off.

You should have beat them this year. Damn. We lost. Well, you knew the Steelers were going to hobble in the, if they were going to get into the playoffs. Yeah, yeah. They really did hobble their ass in there, didn't they? Havled.

Do you see the, you see the D-Ns come out, the rankings? Yeah. 97 for TJ? For T.J. Whiteos, yeah. 96? I think so, right? My man, he got to be at 99, right? The kids looking for the exact person who rated him.

96 or 97. He says I want the exact person. What do you think their QB situation is going to be? Because you draft the kid and then you get Trubisky to come in. Do you think Trubisky plays for two years and kind of takes him under his wing? Trubisky probably plays for, I would guess, a year hoping that the first rounder comes along. It was the first rounder, right? Yeah.

You're hoping that the first rounder comes along to where you don't have to play him this year. This is a tale as old as time for the NFL. Like you have a guy who's done it. You know he's played well in the league and win your games. then you get a guy that you hope can develop to be the guy guy. Yeah. And I love, I like Trubisky. He's good dude.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. What's that? Almost took my wife. Almost took her. Almost took her. But hey, didn't know. Who's laughing now?

Yeah, we had to intercept that immediately. Yeah. Me and Will are at the bar and Will goes, you see this shit? He's like, chat, I know. Tribisky, a handsome dude, too. I thought, oh, it's over for Will. Yeah. What did happen exactly?

We were at, we were at the bar. We were at the bar. Yeah. We were sitting there, we were drinking beers with him. Yeah. And then the three of us are talking. And somehow he pivots and turns. Yeah.

And Charo was on the other side of him. And Charles got a very distinct laugh. Right. And so you start hearing that laugh happening. Will, that's me. Will's like, fucking, you see this shit?

See this shit going? Because Taylor treats us to the pro bon. We're around all these pro boys. So hey, sweet. Like, come on now. Keep your eyes right here. You keep your eyes right here. Right on these big dogs.

That was. That was. That was. You were watching. like, damn, she might go down tonight. That'd be tough. We just continued to joke about it. You had been, you started dating at the time?

Were you talking about this? Are you with her then? Yeah, yeah, okay, okay. Yeah, we were all together. It was like one of those things was happening. She obviously laughed. I immediately go to Taylor and we'd just become dudes in the entire situation. We don't let her breathe.

And we're just like, oh, he's taking her. He's laughing. She took those punches well. Yeah, yeah, kind of, he's kind of staying there kind of like, you know, like feeling. He just met us. He just met us. So we're now telling Charo, hey, you're going to let this man try to take you? in front of him.

And you can tell he's like, holding his beer with two hands. Like, what the fuck? Have I gotten myself? They learned just being ourselves. Yeah. Yeah.

That was funny. And then the next day, she got a food poisoning at night. Yeah, but remember when she deserved it. Yeah. She didn't fucking deserve it. She was probably going to do

what we thought she was going to do, but she got sick. So I was in the whole relationship. Remember when she also made me take a photo of her and Patrick Mahomes? That's tough. Yeah. That was fucking tough. This can't become a roast of Charo.

We can't be doing this to her. You start bag pedaling. Yeah. And another thing. Yeah. You start going on there. Is it like true? Like you guys go on the road and there's, there's just a mass of fucking tens hanging out at the Hilton, just kind of at the bar.

You don't see that in Bible study. Yeah. I don't see that in our Bible studies that we get. No, yeah. Usually we're at mass. Yeah. Because comics is a total office. I have not seen that.

I have not seen it. Was that? Comics is the total opposite. Like you guys, it's just like it doesn't happen like that with you with comics. Yeah. got a scratch and claw and everything. Who's the Asian that has a stand-up on Netflix? Really funny.

Joe Coy. Yes. Weird way to set up that question. Oh, you mean Ali Wong? Yeah, yeah, Ali Wong. Yeah. That's who it is. Because they just got a, she just got a divorce with her husband, right?

She got a divorce, yeah. But she had a lot of comedy jokes. Like, what is it? Like, what was she calling it? Like, comedic pussy? Well, whatever she called it. If I was the, at the time, the husband watching that, do I need to get a divorce attorney?

Because, bro. coming. Holy shit. It was like she's laying out, laying it all out there. She's very funny. You should watch her a special on Netflix. It's extremely funny. But my wife and I were watching it laughing our asses off. But it's like, man, I wonder if she like runs these jokes by her husband. And there was an article saying that she did run them all by her husband.

Her husband's very supportive. They have like X, Y, and Z a couple months later. Read the TV. Baby. Oh, my face. Yeah. Yeah, it's tough. It'd be tough to be married to a comic.

She had like, she did a stand-up where she's pregnant. And then she came out with that stand-up recently. I think she's pretty funny. Yeah. That's really, really sweet, really smart. Very talented, obviously, yeah. Yeah. Really funny.

Really funny. I have a question. This is just a random question. Being in the game says 97, you saw the rise and fall of Dane Cook. What was the deal with Dane? Because he seems like he's hated in the comic community. Okay, so. Good question.

You probably don't know this, but he had a big thing with me. Oh. It became like this kind of like a... I saw you take a deep breath when I asked that question, and I knew we were in for a nice little piece here. So thank you. There was... Walk on him.

Go on. There was an incident within the comedy community that kind of became a big thing for a while. So I moved to L.A. in 2004. Dane is blowing the fuck up, right? I mean, he's... Movies, stand-up. All of it. And good-looking and just, like, at this place called Dublin's, which was, like, the hot spot in Highland.

So Tuesdays you do that, like, Britney Spears is there, N-Sinks there, Vince Vaughn's there, Cameron Diaz is there, like, everybody's coming through to watch comics. So you're just like a comic, no credits, and you're going up, and you're seeing all these faces and they're like the hottest girls in the world are there, and comics are getting laid after. It's the fucking greatest show you want to be a part of and Danes, the centerpiece of it all, right? So I moved there. I'm like this new comic from New York City, and I was doing well here. And, you know, the word gets out, oh, this new guy from New York, he's pretty fun. He's cool.

So I go, I start doing it, and it's going great. And then I'm not getting booked on that show anymore. And this guy, Jay Davis booked it. And I called Jay. I'm like, what, what's going on? Is something wrong or whatever? He's like, yeah, yeah, Dane's got an issue with you. He doesn't want you on the shows anymore.

I'm like, oh, okay. He doesn't want me on the shows. And he goes, yeah. And so now I'm not working at the Laugh Factory anymore. And I call the Laugh Factory. They're like, yeah, we can't book you anymore. I go, oh, okay. So then I'm like, well, I'll just call Dane.

I mean, I have his number and we're friendly. We have the same manager, right? So I called Dane up. And I go, hey, I heard you have an issue. Do you have an issue with me? He said, yeah. I said, well, why don't I come over to your place? We could talk about it. You go, sure. So I got my car. I drove over. This has been discussed on Mark Maren's podcast on my end. It's been discussed on Mark Maren's podcast on his end. He has a version of reality. I don't agree with. But essentially what happened is I went over.

And I said, what's your issue? And he said, he said, I feel like you're stealing my essence. And I was like, what? And he's like, he's like, you're taking my essence with you on stage. I'm like, Dane, I work so hard. I'm not trying to be a shittier version of you. Like,

I work hard in New York City. I work hard here. I'm not trying to be you. He's like, you're doing like me. And I was like, I don't, I don't see it at all.

So I think we're going to agree to disagree. And this is when I was like, this is, this was the moment where I was like, oh boy, I don't know if I'm talking to somebody who's here. And he said, maybe it's not your time to be here.

I was like, what do you mean? He's like, he's like, maybe you shouldn't be in Los Angeles now. I'm like, that's weird. I'm just sitting there, like, taking it and processing what he's saying. And he told me, he goes up to the top of the Hollywood Hills. There's these trails you can hike.

And he said he closes his eyes. He puts his hands out. And he goes, this is a true story, right? True. And he goes, he's doing this for like three seconds. He goes, I give this city my energy. And this energy is given to me from the city. And I was like, I'm fucking out.

I'm fucking out, man. This dude's lost the fucking plot. 2004, 2004, 2005, somewhere there. So the pinnacle of Dane. Peak. Peak just before the peak. So peak before the peak, right?

And now I'm like, oh, Jesus Christ. So now I go home and I'm not telling everybody. I tell like two of my buddies. I'm like, I had this fucking weird incident with Dane. It was fucking wild. And so I tell one or two friends. The one friend I told is super tight with Dane, but also fucking loudmouth, right?

So he tells everybody. And now everybody's going, oh, Steve Burns stealing Dane's essence, right? So it becomes this fucking thing. And now everywhere I go, it's like, don't take my essence. Because comics are ribbing me, like, in a fun way. Yeah. They don't see it, and I don't see it.

Are you sure they don't see it? Well, I think what it was was Dane is so energetic, right, and physical. And I was slightly physical, but not to the degree he was. And I was definitely talking about way different thing. he's talking about speak and spell and you know all this shit i'm talking about being korean and irish you know i mean two completely different things and and so this went on for a while and i was i was basically blocked from going to clubs um literally two days after that conversation my manager who is his manager dropped me and i go is this about dane barry he's like no it's got

nothing to do with i go fuck you it's about dane just be man enough to tell me it's about dane i don't respect you more and he and he didn't so So I didn't have manager and I didn't have two of the great places to work when you first moved to L.A. So it was a tough place to work from. But also it was like, you know, it was like I got a little thick skin from the experience too. It sucks because the biggest comic in the country hates you, right? And he's all over L.A. And the billboards are up.

And all everybody's listening to were talking about is Dane Cook. And he hates me. And it's like, oh, this fucking sucks. And I just moved here, like maybe four months in. So what's your mindset then at that point? My mindset is like, well, fuck it. You basically got canceled. He got canceled by Dan.

He got canceled by Dan. But I was like, I'm going to outwork this. I'm going to outwork this moment, this situation, work twice as hard. And I did. And I just, I didn't pay to any mind. And then years later, I was with Vince Vaughn at the improv. And Dane was there. And Dane came over to say hi and sit down at the table.

And I'm just sitting there like fucking seething. Yeah. Seathing. Like, are you going to fucking say anything? How long ago was this situation you're talking about right now? This situation maybe six or seven years ago. So this is... A lot of time at past.

Dana's been... I had not seen him for a long time. Yeah. And did you have any more situations with him since that conversation you had at his house? No, the only thing that happened was... It was happening to Chris Delea. Yeah.

DeLeo was blowing up now. And then DeLea and I talked about it. And I was like, Chris, it happened to me. It's happening to you. So, Dane did the same thing to Dahlia. What Dane did was worse to Dahlia. So this is what Dane would do. Dane Cook did the same kind of thing to Dahlia.

But this is what Dane would do to, this is what Dane did to Dahlia. When was this? This maybe five or six years ago, right around the same time that I had this talk. So Dalia's starting to blow up, right? It's his peak before his peak. And what I mean by that is like everybody knows about him and now something's going to come out that's big. Like Dane's first movie was going to come out.

So Dalia was about to really blow up. So Delia's going around, making the rounds at the factory and the stuff. And Dane didn't block him. But what he would do is he would find out on the schedule when, when Dalia's performing the improv. He's got the 855 at the improv. I'm going to show up at 840. I'm going to bump him. And he would bump Dalia and then do 30 minutes before Dalia.

So Dalia's just sitting there waiting. And he's like, okay, it's fine, I guess. And then he'd go to the laugh factory, Dahlia for his set at 10 o'clock. And then Dane would show up at 9. and bump him again and do 30 minutes. So when you do a bump, for example, I like a guest set. Yeah. You're doing maybe 15 minutes because you don't want to be disrespectful to the show or other comedians.

Guys like Chappelle, Rock, you know, like even Chris Rock, he'll come in, he'll be respect. He'll do 20 minutes. He's out. Maybe 30. Chappelle's the exception because everybody loves to him. He's the thing with Pauly Shore, right? Who's that? Chappelle.

I don't know if he had a thing. He was on for about 30 minutes. Something like you're saying. And then one of the comics said something to him and he like, snap back at him and I think it was too Polly Shore. Oh, it might have been, yeah. But look, Dave's the nicest guy in, like one of the nicest guys in comedy. There's no, I've never heard a friction from Dave. Got you. But anyways, so Dane would do that to Dahlia and then it became, it wasn't coincidental. This was happening repeatedly. And so Daly was really getting pissed off.

But at the same time, it's like, well, what are you going to do about it? Did, did Dane and Dalia have any history, like similar to how you were, you were kind of with the crew of Dane? So he was just like, he just thought like me, so I don't want you. The new young guy. die. And so I'm going to show him, you know, Dane's alpha, right? He's going to beat his chest and show you who's boss. And so Dane would do that. And so I just said, Delia, you're blown up. Now's your time. Just roll with it. Who gives a fuck? You know, he had his time. Yours is now. Just let it roll off your back. And Chris handled his own way. And he was, I think the way Chris did, it was first class, right? But with Vince and I, we were there, we were talking and Dane's just making small talk the whole time.

And I'm like, this mother, are you going to say anything to me? And he didn't say anything. And this went on for 15, 20, 25 minutes ago. Dane, we should have a talk. Oh, shit. So we get up, we walk around the corner. I go, is there anything you'd like to say? He goes, I am sorry.

I'm sorry about that. I go, thank you. That's it. Now we can sit back down. That was it. That was it. And then we talked for like literally a few more minutes after that. We went down, sat down at the table.

And he basically just copped to it, you know, really quickly. And he was like, yeah. And this was just before the Delia stuff. I think had I known about the Delia stuff at that time, I may have said something, been like, why are you doing this, you know? But I'd seen Dane maybe twice since then.

And it's always been cordial. The fact is, I respect what Dane did, for sure. Nobody did what, he basically put the blueprint for what everybody's doing now. He was the first to go on social media. He was the first to go to algorithms. via social media, communicate with his fans,

and really immerse himself in that thing. And he blew the fuck up, right? And he's going to Madison Square Garden. That was such a unique thing at the time. Comics didn't do the garden. He had to be really special to do that. And he did it. And now Sebastian's doing eight shows.

But Dane was kind of like the first since, like Steve Martin or, you know, Eddie Murphy to do something like that. Why he's hated or why he's not revered or why he doesn't have the leg, maybe he deserves is because I think that he always handled himself in a way where he was very isolating. You know, he kept to his own bubble, whereas most comics are pretty cool. You come into the comedy club, it doesn't, like Kevin Hart came in last night. Could he be a dick? Could he have a

security guard with him? Of course. Could he just shuttle off on his own and not want to be bothered with anybody? He's earned that right, right? But he comes in, shakes everybody's hands, glad handing. We're all comics, right? We get the grind. And it's great to see everybody catch up. Dane's never been that guy. He just does his own thing. He's a cat.

So I think that... Tough. That's a tough. It didn't help. It didn't help him. It didn't help him. Well, as I heard, when Joe was talking about Dane, he said that he was stealing jokes as well. He still, allegedly stole a bit from Lewis C.K.

This is why I fucking love comedy. This is why I love comedy. Flash forward eight years ago, okay? There's a debate between Louis C.K. And Dane Cook. about who stole the bit about an itchy asshole. Oh, what? Yeah.

I have an itchy asshole. That was the bit that started this all. And then it became a car thing and something else. There was a bit. The bit I heard was, Dane couldn't wait to have a son because then he could name the son whatever he wants. That's exciting.

And he went with the letter F. Like, he's the name of son F. And then I guess Louis C.K said, well, I did the same bit five years ago, and it was with the R. Like, or maybe it was flips or something like that. And so I think they actually had sit down. This is me. This is a fan

of watching this stuff on YouTube, but I just see things pop up. They're saying fact. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But it's two fucking grown millionaires bitching about an itchy asshole joke, which I find hilarious. You guys are out of your fucking mind. It's got to be so hard not to steal jokes, though.

Like when you were talking about being a golfer, focusing on your game, when you watch, when you're around people, you take, like, we're running each other. I'm taking some from you, you're taking some from me. We're interchanging our energies or whatever you want to call it. I go and do something. A piece of you just coming with me and vice versa. So like to watch comics like Dinko or Louis C.K.

And all that, like, it's got to be hard not to kind of take somebody's joke, even if it's subconsciously and moving it around a little bit of having it become yours. I think when you're really doing this professionally and you're at the stand or the seller every night and you're doing the showcase shows, it was like eight comics a show. You know, everybody's set. You know, you know what somebody's working on. Even if you're sitting there waiting to go up, you've heard bits, right? So I think you hear things

and especially we're all different little pegs and you know Mark Norman's voice you know Robert Kelly's voice or Rich Ross's voice or Jim Norton's voice and so it's rare you have somebody doing something that's verbatim that

and usually when it does happen comics pretty much squash it pretty quickly I had something with Burr years like when I first started he's like he's like yeah go go ahead do it I don't give a shit because he knew his version was better probably. Yeah.

You know. And everybody has premises that are similar, but your take on the premise should be your own and it will be different than everybody's got a McDonald's joke or whatever. Like in the 80s, right? But it was way different.

Right. With Dane's, sorry to catch you have, with Dane, when he started to fall off, do you think him playing the cat to all the other comedians kind of was part of the demise of him falling off from the Hollywood standpoint? I think it was probably a culmination

of a bunch of different. a bunch of different things i think he he he got a generation of kids that loved hearing his take on comedy right which at the time crushed but if you look back on it now it's it's kind of like i don't know it's a little juvenile it's fun it's really energetic but there's no real meat on the bone in terms of like if you transcribed it right you'd be like all right well how's this funny right but like if you transcribe somebody like louie it's like oh my god it's fucking hilarious right right Right. And I think he was an introduction into a deeper well of comedy. And so he was exposing a bunch of young people to better comedians. And I don't mean that as an insult or slight to Dan because what he did, he did fucking great. I respect Dan. I respect him as a businessman. I respect him as a comic. And I do think he's due for a resurgence. It's up to him, though, to find the material because people outgrew it. Kind of like you outgrow like a boy band, like young And girls, it's like, I like Backstreet.

And then they get it in the college. It's like, I like, you know, the Beatles now. And I like the intricacies of the melody or whatever. They'll appreciate it. I think Dane was something that was good for when you were in a high school or college. Right. And then you get older. It's like you want somebody with a little bit more on the plate.

You know what Taylor? Maybe the best question you've had. Not that like actually best question, but the question that opened up an insane rabbit hole. That was, I had no idea I was going to happen with that. Yeah. I mean, I mean, it's been years. And look, if I saw Dane, I, I'd go up to, I have no animosity.

I don't, I don't carry that negativity. That's very big of you. So far, it's so long ago. I, I personally, he actually, this is the last time he talked to me. He said, hey, I'm doing a documentary. I go, oh, about what? He goes, me. I go, fuck of course.

Yeah. And of course you are. So, he goes, would you be interviewed about that moment in time? I go, look, I'm more than happy to sit down with you, Dane. I love to sit down with it. I'm going to tell my side of the story for sure. I just, after having worked on film on my own, I'd like to know the narrative, the final narrative,

because you and I have differing opinions on what actually happened that day. So I'd want my version to be my version, you know? Yeah. I haven't heard back from him, but I totally said, give me the paper. I'll sign it right now. Right.

100%. Yeah. I haven't heard back from him. But, yeah. I mean, that was us. We were the high school and college kids that loved him. Yeah, he was big for us in like middle school. In the first couple years of high school.

Yeah. For me, it was high school. Yeah, you're a year older than me. But who do you guys revere? Maybe it was eighth grade, maybe ninth grade. For me, it was even in middle school and you're, you know, you're a little older. Wait, wait, you were in middle school? Yeah, because I remember I have something on my Apple still that was iTunes.

It bought, there was like the BK lounge where he talks about. I was in a retaliation last week. I'm saying that he has like a job and doesn't want to sound like a loser working at Burger King. He's like, I work at the BK lounge. Right. Yeah. Coolade man. Yeah.

Yeah. So I think he had those pretty big hitters. the like 2008 to maybe 10 for me. I, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah. He had three. With the, he called it.

He had three specials. He was harmful to swallow, which was like the one that put him on the map. Retaliation came out in like 2004, which was like his big one. And then his final one was called Vicious Circle. No, there was one that he released on Showtime recently that came out like a few years ago.

It sounds like the guy, listen, I am, by the way, I'm talking, you totally tell you. I'm a huge fan of Dan Cook. I love to stand up. He was a huge reason why I, like, started listening to comedy and stuff. Like, I would have him on. I would love to.

But I'll reach out to him. It sounds like it would be iffy if you reached out to him. Maybe we should have somebody else do that. But he is starting to be awesome if he came home. He's starting to get back out there. I saw it. And starting to do podcasts again. And I think he's trying to get back out there.

And from what I hear and what I'm seeing, I think he's putting forth a genuine effort to make inroads. like, look, I'm not speaking at a school. I mean, Louis C.K., when I was starting off, I was the young guy at the table with a bunch of young comics. He was kind of like cunty to us. He wouldn't, he was just above it all. And then the shit hit the fan with him.

And now he's really cordial and outgoing to all those younger comics. He got the pedestal. And so I was like, well, I'm glad he's so talented. I would have loved to have sat down and talked to him. I remember being in D.C. I'm about the seller all the time running into him, saying, hey, Louis.

and, you know, he's at the cellar all the time, filming the show. And where I'm in D.C., walk along the mall, and he's running. I'm like, hey, what's up, man? And he didn't even, he just gave me a head pump. And I was like, fuck that dude, man. But I'm glad to see that he kind of recalibrated. And he is cool. There's always a time to do that.

I'd love to run into him at some point. It seems like him and Shane are buddies. They did like a three-hour, a three-episode thing on presidents. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They just released a really, from what I hear. And the trailer looked intriguing, but I love Joe List. Joe List, if you like comics on Twitter, he's one of the best. He's like a great joke writer for Twitter, but he's also a great comic.

He and Louis just did a film called Fourth of July that they independently financed and produced, and Louis directed it. And so obviously, Louis kind of tainted goods in the industry right now. So he's just doing it on his own. So they're doing like this barnyard tour, kind of going to different cities and screening it and doing Q&As and shows around it. And they're making their money back, which is fucking great. And again, another example we're talking about earlier of comics taking the industry on their own, much like you guys creating your own entertainment hubs, you know? Yeah.

So I'm glad to see Louis doing that. I think Dane's trying to do that now. Yeah, it's good. It's been nice to see. I saw some of Dane's stuff before. It's very similar energy, but he's older. So the energy is not as vibrant and it's not as like. And he's also like overwhelming.

He's like bigger. He looks different now. He's got a lot of work done. He got a lot of work. He got the plastic surgery. Yeah, I don't want to say. I love to have. Yeah, I mean, but Louis CK,

the shit hitting the fan with him, have you heard Pete Davidson's bit on him? Yeah. When he was at S&L. Yeah. And it kind of goes in line of what you were saying, how he was. Have you heard the bit?

He's talking about how Pete, he was high. Is this Pete doing the stand-up? He's high right after S&L and Lewis CK hosted SNL. Pete's walking past him and a group of people go in the elevator,

and Louis CK is like, hey man, you're smoking all that weed. You're going to smoke your life away. You piece of shit like going at him. And he's like, that didn't happen. I'm too high. There's no way that happened. Well, the next day, Lauren Michaels, who started S&L, calls him and brings him in the office. And he's like, hey, like, people used to do coke here. So, like, I don't care if you smoke weed. It's like, kind of don't do this much.

You know? And then, uh, I guess like, then the whole bit ends up with him saying, so one day when I woke up and I heard he was jerking off on people. I was ecstatic. He was like super happy about it. But it just seems like, I don't know, it seems like that's a thing that he had going on. It's cool to see or hear that he's like kind of being cool with everybody now. Yeah, and I think like if you really take like a macro look at like the world of stand of comedy after being immersed in it, like a bird's eye perspective, it's like you're seeing this fucking band of misfits like a bunch of wounded birds. We're not you guys, right?

You guys are fucking cool. You're getting laid in high school. I mean, we can be some wounded in some areas. Come on now. But you know what I mean, though? We got demons. We got demons. Like there's a psychological reason like these nerds are going up and telling jokes and

doing like, like public speaking is ranked like worse than death for most people. It's like 70% of people would rather die. Yeah, that's wild. Which is crazy. And comics glum on to that. So when you, when you hear about like things with Dane or somebody like with drug issues or somebody like going on a violent spree or whatever in a comedy community, my first thought is always empathy and sympathy because you know these are not like a lot of them are just not the most. mentally stable people. And there's a reason they do stand up at the end of the day.

Like I feel fortunate my folks hug me and, you know, I feel like pretty normal. But some of the folks I'm even friends with them, like, holy shit. Like I'm here for you if you need anything. It's tough. And I'm sure in your industry, it's got to be incredibly hard because you're like our minds are our conduit to the audience. But you guys, you're physically, that's the conduit to it all. Yes.

And like there's definitely stuff. Like a lot of guys come from a lot of broken situations. The whole thing about football is like there's guys that grew up at the top, like, you know, big income households, and there's guys that grew up food stamps and like everything in between too. Like there's a lot, there's levels of adversity in the NFL that guys had. It's a nundrum to take like you said, like, I mean, how many 30 for 30s are on this where, you know, broke the whole dock on it,

but you're taking an 18 year old kid and multimillionaire. Like most comics hit when we're like in our 30s or 40s after you put like, like a slow burn, 10,000 hours in Mount, Well, Adwell into this. So you kind of have a little more maturity, but that I can't imagine. I mean, being so immature, that's why, like, when social media scours a young kid for a tweet he did when he was 14, it's like, what the fuck is wrong with you? Well, he's got that coming. That's crazy to me.

Yeah. My Daniel Tosh tweets, oh, dude, you got any Daniel Tash stories? Why isn't he, like, the greatest? I think he. Of all time. You are, but he does that some, he is talented. He is a lot of Daniel Tosh. He's a great dude.

But I think he... Tuesday, hashtag. He does his own thing. He just... He seems very private, yeah. Very private. Keeps to himself. It's super nice.

Super. I think he's... I think he's really... It's crazy. He had one of the biggest shows of all time. And then it just kind of like... Dipped.

And I don't hear much about him anymore. I don't even know if he's more anymore. That kind of just happens to people, right? Like, we were... Like, he just... All of a sudden, vanished. Yeah. Some people, maybe they get their bag and then they're just...

Yeah, is they're wrong? You think like some people will just like get their nut and just don't want to do anything. Not do anything, but don't want to be in the spotlight. Yeah, they're just... Well, McAfee, McAfee talks about in his show. Pat McAfee says, hey, don't get a twist in, like 10 years, you won't hear from me again. Yeah, it'll be gone. Yeah, I don't know about that, though.

I don't, I don't, I don't take him for that. But that's why I love, that's why, like, I respect. I think he's staying around. Yeah. Chappelle and Chris Rocks so much. And, and, like, even, like, David Spade, there's, there's comics that are working. They're there every night, fucking grinding with the nopad, going up and telling jokes. It's like you have a mansion in Jersey, Chris Rock. Why are you here? Because it's in Jersey.

He's got to get in his car, driving out to the cellar, taking it on the chin with some new jokes, and still doing it. It's like, I really, really respect guys like that. Yeah. Dude, yeah, Chris, or maybe they're just not satisfied. A gold mine, Chris Rock and Will Smith. Like, that had to be a comedic gold mine right there for all y'all. Every comic had a had a take on that. But I think I have a different person. I think, I think Chris Rock took a slap for Ricky Jervase. I think Ricky Jervase doing those golden globes, he shit on those people. Shit on them. He wasn't doing it like Carson did it or Bob Hope did it or Steve Martin did it where there's like, there's like a communal like before those hosts, they were performers as revered as the people they were celebrating or

honoring, right? We're nominating. And now you got an outsider who did a show in England that nobody's heard of and he's coming in. He's being fucking mean. I love Ricky Jervais. I think he's fucking hilarious. But would I personally make fun of Colin Farrell to his face about substance abuse issues? I wouldn't do that, right?

I don't negate a comic ever. You do whatever you want. I'm always for freedom of speech. 100% with comics. But I think he went over the line multiple. times against a community that was sitting there just fucking taking it. They couldn't say anything back. And now you got that moved the yard marker down the line in terms of comedy.

Every time you move it down and that becomes a social norm, it's like, oh, now the floodgates go to there. So we can go there now. And so you got Chris Rock going there to a minimal degree and then him just going up and fucking cracking him. Do I think it's fucking nuts? That shit was hilarious. That was wild.

And it wild, the whole string of events. how Will Smith is smiling and laughing, and then he sees, he looks at his wife, and he's like, got to do something. Everyone's trying to figure out, was that stage? Was that fake? Was he in on it? All right.

We are taking a break to shout out Georgia Boot, the greatest boots in the world of all times ever created. They're the best.

But my thought was always, can you imagine working on the film, G.I. Jane, and then 25 years later, finally, your film is mentioned at the Oscars. It's like, now this is not. It's a fucking egg. But I love Chris Rock, and I think you saw every comic band up behind him. I think he's, I think he's like one of my top five of all time for sure.

And I can't wait to hear, eventually he'll address it, and it'll be fucking brilliant. I know it will. We could obviously talk to you all day long, but I definitely want you, like, one of your boys is Vince Vaughn. Yeah. So. Tell him, kid. We need some Vince Vaughn. So you think Vince Vaughn would come on the bus?

I'll definitely talk to him. I think, I honestly think, I think he'd probably be game. Really? Yeah. I mean, I had a great experience. And I, look, I really enjoy your company. And then getting to meet you and getting to know you, I really enjoy you guys. I think, again, about the vibes.

He's about the vibes. And I think if I told him, hey, man, it's a fucking great thing. You'd say, hey, they're pro vibes. They're pro vibes. Yeah. I'm trying to get him out here. Yeah, get right in there. Like, he, one of his best pals are our good buddy, Derek West won, National Title, Colorado.

and through Derek, Vince is the biggest football fan. He loves football. He loves college football. His dog's name is Buckeye. But if I were to give you a... Disgusting stuff. Oh, sorry, yeah.

Sorry, what it is. But if I were a great pod, make for a great pod. A good story, I'll tell you. I grew up, you know, Swingers came out when I was in college. And I love the NHL when they were playing Sega NHL. And he's making him bleed and all that stuff. And it's fucking hilarious.

It's one of my favorite scenes. right. So Vince moves back to Chicago after living in Los Angeles and I was touring so much, I would go and just stay with him at the Palm Olive building in Chicago, which is the old Playboy offices. So it's the top two floors. It's a fucking beautiful building. And he has this, I was visiting him so much. He's like, why don't she just moved to Chicago? I was like, yeah, I'll just move to Chicago. So my wife and I moved to Chicago and we stayed when he came home. Hey, honey, go to Chicago. We were going to Chicago. She was fine with it. So we we stay with Vince for like two months

until we find a place and Vince has this gorgeous movie theater and our wives would go to bed and we would just stay up till four or five in the morning playing NHL on the PlayStation. God, I love that. So here's the thing.

When you're watching that movie, it's fucking hilarious, right? When you're losing NHL to Vince Vaughn and he's saying all those things but like clever lines, it makes you want to jump out the fucking window. You're like, shut the fuck up.

And he's like, no, I'll teach you. Seriously, after this game, I'll teach you how to do the things I'm doing because it looks like you need a teacher. And just like shitty things like that. And when you're on the outside, I'm sure it's fucking hilarious. But when you're getting pounded, it's the fucking worst. He's fun but competitive. And in Chicago, there's this thing called Worley Ball.

Have you guys ever heard of it? It's the best. It's this magnetized basketball court. You get bumper cars and you get like lacrosse sticks. And you pass a ball to each other and the net is vertical. So you got to hit this netting. And it bounces in the net and it comes out. And it releases, it sounds off the score, right?

There's a bar there. You're drinking. It's the funnest thing you could ever do. So I got married. We went there the day after my wedding. Me, Vince, all our buddies, a lot of the Blackhawks. We're playing at 11 o'clock. They were playing at midnight.

And my team beat Vince's team. So Vince, like, we got to go again. best out of seven. We got to go again. Seven. It's fucking, now it's like three in the morning. Is it right here?

Right there. Yeah. That's it. And you have to hit that big black thing? You're going to hit that black thing. And you're going around. And you can wind up, you can crank somebody.

It's fucking fun. Okay. So I win two best out of sevens, my team. He's, he's not happy. It's now 3.45 in the morning. He's like,

we've got to go another best of seven. I go, dude, my fucking honeymoon, I'm leaving at six. It's 3.45. I got to go. He's like, he's like best out of three. I go, oh, fine, best out of three. We do best out of three. I got home. My wife is on the couch. Like, what the fuck is wrong with you?

I'm like, what? She's like, we're going to be late for the fucking fight. So I almost miss my honeymoon flight because Vince Vaughn wanted to play best out of three and whirly ball. That game looks unbelievable. That game does look unreal. We got to do a Bustin' Spring Tour in Northwestern just so we can go do that. I'll tell you, he's... Oh, that is rad. You know, you know, you'll explain to this?

Garrett. Yeah. Yeah. That boy will be out there fucking... Look at Gary. He's back to... He's rolling that shit, dude. He's back there moving his foot.

Like, yeah, I would take those rackets. And we'd throw them at each other. Like, if you had the ball, I would fucking zing it and I try to hit your hand. I mean, guys were getting cut and bruised and shit. My one friend cut his nipple. Nice. How big is the ball? It's like a little crossball?

It's like a wiffle ball almost. But those... I think they have like the actual pattern or the... and the ball is like a beach toy. Yeah, it's called track ball is what it's called. But it's so fucking fun. He's backing it up, reversing moving forward.

You can get a little speed, and you can you can drill somebody. Rip around, huh? How fast those little carts go? This is what you're talking about? You don't want to the ball. The ball, no, the ball you can sing. Yeah, you get hit with that ball.

It's kind of like a hardened little plastic ball. It'll ding you up. It'll sting. Yeah, it'll sting, yeah. Whoa, that was tough. Oh, hey. Well, that was a little much. We're friends.

Yeah. Yeah, that'd be sick, dude, if he came on, I'll tell you what. That'd be fucking pretty all the time. I'm sure I'll talk to him next there. Is Vince, does he ever do stand-up comedy? No, but I'll tell you this. If I have one friend that could go up on stage right now

and just do it, it's him. His SNL monologue, you didn't do a monologue. He did crowd work. Really? It was, I think maybe two or three years ago, he did it. And I said, what are you going to do for the monologue? He's like, I don't know. So when you do SNL, they don't help you write your monologue.

You do your own monologue? Yeah. They do, but I think Vince said, I'll just wing it. And you see him and he's talking to the crowd. He's the fastest human being I've ever seen in terms of matriculating and getting to a punchline so quick. And not only that, but hilarious. The other day I was talking to him and I go, I told him something, he goes, oh my God, if I was a lawnmower, you just pulled my cord. And I was like, I got to write that.

Like, you know how long that would take me to come up with that? Yeah. And he's just being sarcastic and shitty But he is The funnest Best friend a guy could ever want Like literally I say that all the time to my life

And that's the way I describe him The way you see him in the films, that's him Like when you're watching That's what you hope too Because you say don't meet your heroes And I'm not saying I look at it I have a mural of events in my room But I'm saying when you watch the movies

Yeah You sit there and you either just smile on your face The entire time Meet him Yeah And him be like you know Treat you off. What a dagger in the heart that would be.

What an absolute dagger. No, no, he's for sure. I want to hang with him so bad. Salmon of Predators Blackhawks game. Yeah. And I was with a guy who is one of the people at CA and he's like, do you want to meet him? And there's a whole bunch of people clamoring to get to him.

I was like, I just don't think he wants that right now. I admire from afar. Oh, the minute he found out if you guys play football, you're off to the races. I mean, he loves. He's a Ohio State fan. I thought, Notre Dame. he's a big Notre Dame fan he goes to I think at least

That's an odd combination Yeah great Dooling out Notre Dame I know you want to throw your sword And I do want to throw my sword and well You know I know what you're talking about And I want to

He's sitting there explaining it I'm sitting here just thinking like Man I know Taylor wants to like Just kind of We want to feel the waters Yeah Rudy That's why he's in Notre Dame

Yeah Rudy and then Ohio State Which is an overrated sports movie Right A little bit Yeah it is a little bit Really? Yeah

stuff Why do you think so? It's just, you know. I mean, I also think, like, remember the Titans is touch overrated. But here I go, here I go, and I'll finish when I'm talking you can go to. I think, remember, the Titans is overrated

because it's so, everyone thinks it's the greatest. Yeah. And it's a really good movie, but it's been so overplayed now. It's like, we can move on. I'm not a hater. I've never seen a ratio as bad as that tweet. But what is ratio?

Well, we'll, trust. So when we do Tier Talk, which we're doing today, which is going to be the best comments. Best sitcoms. We went over this. Literally went over this. that we were doing best condiments. And just like that, Jack's fired.

Oh, we can't. When it goes, it'd be great for Steve to do best sitcom since he's a comedian. Instead of condiments. That was JP. Shout out the boy. Okay, so, um, what was I saying? Will, help me out. This motherfucker, Rocky.

So do you, our tier talks, where we like, say, like, this is the best, whatever, this is the second best, is the third best, our opinions. Sure. We usually pick one for each. Will said the entire Rocky series is his tier one for inspirational sports or best sports movies. All of them? All of them. It's just crazy. It was crazy.

It was seven movies to go. Those ones were my tier one. One through three. That's shit. You let him just ride, didn't you? It was a, and he put two football movies in two. He put, uh, Friday Night Lights. Which is the worst version than remember the Titans.

You know, I'm just, and I talked to Will on the phone. He's not going to, I'm not sure he'll give in, but he did say if he redid it, he'd probably think about taking Friday Night Lights out. Yeah, I would think about switching Friday Night Lights out. But that doesn't mean I don't. love the movie. It's a great movie. A little overrated, but... I think it's a great movie. Football movies in

general, besides Varsity Blues. Radio. Varsity Blues awesome movie. Varsity Blues. Hey, Davey, you look at back, like, well, what's so funny? I'm noted. Laughing.

I'd rather have Mystery Alaska the Miracle. No. What? Yes. Miracle is unbelievable, but I love Mystery Alaska. The small town vibes. The Rangers come in to play them, and tell who's this singer does the National Anthem?

For what? For Mystery Alaska. And they're playing outside in like the dead of winter in Alaska and he, they tell him hey, seen the National Anthem real slow. And all the Rangers guys are fucking freezing and all the dudes from Alaska are just totally fine. Yeah. It's a fantastic movie.

The scene when they're in the Hang on though. We can agree that Rocky is a phenomenal film. Have you seen Rocky? I've seen one. And I saw the, like, the last one. I was, I think what I was most... I know I'm mid or whatever the fuck the kids are saying nowadays when it comes to that.

What I was most nervous about is you struck me for somebody who hadn't seen them all, so... It doesn't matter if you've seen them all or not. It's, you shouldn't have seven movies or three movies in your tier one. Oh, absolutely. If Rocky... If Rocky 1 through 3 is your tier 1, then Rocky 1, Rocky 2, Rocky 3, however you want to order them. Rocky 1, Rocky 3, Rocky 2. Okay, then that would be your tiers.

Yeah, I understand. And if that's the case, you're getting dumbied. You're getting fucking dummy then. I understand the game. If I'm actually doing the Tear Talk, it's Rocky One. Remember the Titans, Friday Night Lights. Yeah. But you could switch out a Friday Night Lights like, you know,

you can think of a fun one, like Waterboy, Happy Gilmore. Remember the Titans is like a movie about inequality that involves football. Dude, remember the Titans is a fucking awesome movie. It's a good film. It's all-handedly cured racism. I'm pretty sure it's... Oh. Hey, we got to keep this thing going.

You know what I'm saying? I should have to get canceled. We got to keep this thing going. But, dude, remember the Titans is an awesome movie. It really is. Like, there's a reason it is overplayed. It is extremely popular. It's because it's one of the best sports movies of all time.

And for you can get my butterflies going like Gunn. Go watch Goon. Dude, Goon is not the most inspirational sports movie in mind. I already explained why it is. I got goosebumps. And also, the thing about Tier Talk is it's literally opinions, dude. Whether how right or wrong they are, we have opinions. I get that.

But to legitimately say it is my most, I think here's what you should say, it is my most inspiring sports movie. I don't think it is the most inspiring sports movie, like if you're actually trying to put it in there in lists. Because then you have to take into consideration everybody else. Rocky is the most realistic, I think, in terms of like, he establishes from the get-go. You're in a shitty situation. He's boxing in a church, right? Right. And he's an enforcer for a mob taking money.

taking money. By the way, lying with a big heart. Yeah. With a big heart too, which is nice. I just want to know if I can go to the distance. That's all he wants to know.

And then you set that theme. It's proved at the end. But then you have a film done in the 70s where the mobster comes up to Rocky, sitting in the car going, hey, yo, Rock, I heard your date in a retard. Why don't you take it to the zoo? I heard retards like Zeus. It's like, what the fuck? Like, that is crazy.

Like, with the optics of today, looking back on that, like even slap shot, again. film to the 70s, Paul Newman walks into that dive bar in Johnson, Pennsylvania, and the guy who's the grizzled veteran pitcher in Major League is sitting at the bar, chain smoking, watching a soap opera, and on the soap opera, the woman is

breaking up with the guy, and Paul Newman just taps him on the shoulder, and he's just staring at the screen and goes, what a fucking cunt. It's like, that is fucking insane. Like, that was in a movie. Like, dude, like looking back on that shit, you could never do that today. So funny.

God. I'll get canceled for that. Because I'm quoting them. When you, when you, when you said R, you said R and then he said it twice. You're going to go to the top. Yeah. You said R. What are you?

Who's the, who's the comedian? I think I said, Ralphie Mae. Is that the dude? He's a white dude, right? Big heavy white guy. Yeah, he was my favorite black female comic. Black female comic. Because he had this high pitch voice.

Dude, he, I was listening to some of his stuff and he says the N-word. And he says, what he, I'm not going to start into what you were saying. Taylor? Yeah. His shit is so like shock value funny He has this whole thing about going to black movie theaters

How he loves black movie theaters And he loves watching the previews And he just loves listening to black people in the back Like the black goes like Oh I'm not ever going Norkeland You can't catch me going Norkeland out there With them shocks like and he He had a whole funny deal about that

This shit is so funny He's had a whole bit about A comic lived here in Nashville He was one of the first I knew That kind of moved here Him and Madigan Obviously Nate's from here or whatever But yeah

Great comic. Why is everybody moving here? I moved here because I got sick. I got sick of the politics. And I got sick of California taking advantage of the people to live there, you know? Big Trump guy. You're paying. MAGA.

MAGA. No, I just got, it's hyper politicized over there. And you're going up into the Hollywood Hills off a Gower off the 101. And it's Tent City. People like movie stars live up in the hills. and you're going up Gower and they set up wash stations and all this other stuff. And it's just like, the city is not, Hollywood's not the city I moved to when I first moved there. It's awful.

And then, especially when you're raising kids there, my property tax is what I pay. Now I can't send my kids to private school because they're shit. So I got to go to private school. And to get to into the private school, you've got to sign up for a lottery and you hope you get in there. And then if you get in, you're paying college tuition for your kids to fucking crayons in a nap. It's fucking crazy. That's a tough deal. LA seems like a tough area.

Now, San Diego. Beautiful. I messed to San Diego now. There's a lot of beautiful parts in California. It is. Yeah. Carmel. Shall we do,

uh, tier talk? Yeah. I'm trying to think if there's anything else. This last question with Steve Byrne is brought to you by Roeback. The Roeback question. Use code boys, B-O-Y-S on rowback.com for 20% off your first purchase. That's R-H-O-B-A-C-com code boys.

Like how the dynamics change? I feel like SNL used to be, and this is me shooting from the hip. I really don't know what I'm talking about. But SNL seems like a place for like comedians where that's, if you want to get in a show business, that's where you go. That's where you started.

Yeah, a huge launching pad. Like Will Ferrell, Farley, Rock, all those guys rip it in there. Belushi. And now with all these things we've talked about how everyone has a podcast, there's YouTube, there's so many different ways to get yourself out there. Has that taken away from SNL a little bit, do you think? I think SNL will always be like a beacon of communal entertainment, right? There's so few things that are communal these days. Sports, thank God, communal, news, a big election is communal. SNL still is somewhat relevant in being communal where people share the clips and stuff.

I think my big issue with SNL is that they went from, character driven to premise driven. And so characters were the sketches. Now it's all based on a funny premise. Wouldn't be funny if this happened in this situation. Now the characters got truncated into Weekend Update. So Jost is just handing the ball to a character where the characters, before, the whole sketch was built around the character.

I miss that. I miss Church Lady. I miss all those things. Was the Bee Gangsters or whatever they were from, it was Belushi and, Was it Chevy Chase was in that? I don't know. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Belushi was the B. Yeah. But all the great characters. And they were just bringing people back over and over and over again, the Pepper Boy, all that stuff. Yeah, yeah. That was awesome. I mean, Target Lady with Kristen Wig.

Yeah. I fucking love those sketches. And the Californians, right? Californians, I don't know if that sketch would exist today because they'd be, you know, doing a sidebar on update, which that to me is when the show pivoted. Because for decades, it was character-driven. And so now, even like thinking like Shane was on S&L, it's like, well, what character would he be doing?

Like, he doesn't even do impressions. Like, what would he be doing? But again, that's why, because it's premise driven. Yeah. The, uh, what about Mad TV? Was there ever? I loved, like, I think Will Sasseau is one of the most talented. He's so fucking funny.

He's so fucking funny. I didn't even know Will Sessel from Matt TV. I knew Will Sassel from fucking Vine on Instagram. But he was, dude, on Matt TV is so funny. What was it? Michael McDonald. Was that his name? who did Stewart, bro.

That Stewart bit was so funny. Oh, great. Bobby Lee, who I'm friends, I'm not speaking at a school when I tell you this story. He's fucking crazy. That's a zip line. That's a zip line phrase for you. You love it.

I'm not speaking out of school, dude. You know what I'm not speaking of school. You know, the Woody doll you pull the line. There's a snake in my boot. Yours would be. I'm not speaking out of school here, you know? Well, Bobby and I have a very complicated relationship. It's a love and hate relationship, but I love them, right?

Is there like a competition going on? No, not from, not at all. Yeah. Yeah. We won't say it. I toured with Ken Jong, Bobby Lee, and Kevin Shea. We did this Kim's a Comedy tour. We're in San Francisco.

Kim's of comedy. God damn it, dude. Ken Jung and Bobby Lee had had a rivalry. So Bobby was always the big dog, right? He's on Mad TV. Everybody knows him. I just had a Comedy Central thing. Ken had just been like three lines on the office.

And Ken's trying to break in, right? So now we're doing Kim's a comedy. We're touring. Ken's in the hang. over blows the fuck up and now the pendulum has swung to ken's side now ken's calling the shots right so ken and bobby are in san francisco the line is outside the door sold out it's fucking packed it's gonna be fun they're fucking screaming at each other ken's pissed off bringing up this thing from years ago bobby's going back at him because bobby's a fucking weasel and they're just screaming at each other and

kevin shay taps me he was like dude you might want to fucking break this up and i'm like i'm gonna let them go because this would be the cutest fight I've ever seen in my life. It's like a baby puppy and like a Monchi Chi wrestling. They're both five foot like three. Yeah. Tiny little human beings. But Bobby, when he was on Mad TV, he was telling me the story about this girl just got hired at Mad TV. And so she's filling out paperwork.

And Bobby thinks it would be funny and a good idea to pull up a chair behind her quietly as she's working, tap her on the shoulder and as she turns around, his ass is in her fucking face and he farts in her face. Bobby did that? Dear God. Farts at it.

She's literally filling out like a W-9, you know? Yeah. And she farts in the face and Bobby's like, hey, welcome. She's like, get the fuck away from me. No shit. So, so flash forward,

lunchtime, Bobby's on the phone with the president of Fox Network and lawyers going, what happened? And Bobby's like, uh-huh. Okay, well, I, uh... Oh, my God.

Dude, that show is so funny. Oh, my God. But I always love Bobby on Mad TV. And he had me on their like 300th episode or something. They had standup on it. And so Bobby said, I know a great comic and he got me on it. So it was a pretty cool. Why did that show end?

What happened there? I think because it's on Fox and they didn't have the consistency with it. And they didn't, they never really pushed it either. And it was different, it was very sketch heavy as opposed to like doing something like update where you had a chance to take a breather and get to know some of the performers. It was just sketch to sketch to sketch.

So there was no like, I guess, investment in meeting the character role players because, you know, when you had, and plus you never had like the guest there. Through the guest, you got to meet, you know, people during their monologues. So the players would come out and run the monologues with them. So you get to know them a bit more, too.

Mad TV was just sketches. That's it. Yeah. And they didn't have musical guests that often either to give you incentive to bring in a different broad audience as well. But I always liked it. But for me, S&L is still, I still revere it. You can have like an S&L vibe or a late night show vibe. That's what you're building your premise off for your show that's coming up in a few months.

Yeah, when I film this hour special, because you guys know there's so many these days. And it's just somebody in front of a curtain for 60 minutes pontificating. It's going to be called. It's called The Last Late Night, and it's an homage to the late night talk show format. So I thought, everybody's doing an hour. Do it a little differently. What can you do different in the space that's unique and you're not breaking the mold, but it's still there. So to me, like something really digestible is the late night talk show.

If you really think about it's three styles of writing, you come out with a monologue. So those are kind of like fun one-liners, right? And they're usually topical. So you do that for 20 minutes. Then you go to panel when you go to on Colbert. Jimmy Fallon, you sit on the couch, he's behind the desk, and the producers say, okay, give us some stories. So it's really just storytelling. So that's 20 minutes. Then you go to the third act, which is traditional stand-up next to the band. So you do another 20 minutes there. So the set is going to

look like a talk show. I'll have a band. Everything will feel like a talk show. The intro will feel like a talk show. And even the presentation of the material will be under the umbrella and three-act structure. of a talk show. I've never seen anything like it before, and I was like, that's it. Because I saw Neil Brennan's three mics, and he just has three styles of comedy that is bouncing between.

I'd seen a comic do that with two mics years ago on the MTV Half Hour Comedy Hour that was on like the 90s. But I like Neil's concept, but this is certainly absolutely more visual, and my material is driven towards those things. But it all ties together at the end, too, because there's a message behind it of,

like the state of political correctness and woke and cancel culture and everything just as a comic trying to do my part along with Andrew Schultz and Rogan and Chappelle and Shane Gillis and all these comics to push it back to go this shit's getting out of fucking control all of it so is there a guest element like especially

that I like to know it'll just be me it's somebody so it's Saturday August 27th is open yeah Franklin Theater you can get tickets there's a few tickets left and it's filmed right here in Nashville so it'd be cool oh that's awesome we're gonna get tickets Yeah, I'll get you guys. And my buddy Joe Gatto from Jokers, he's going to direct it.

So direct the special, which would be cool. That shows us. Is there a goal in mind with it? Like, are you trying to become a late night talk show? No, you're an outstanding late night guy. I think that format's a vibe where you just hang out. You kind of riff. Yeah, you kind of sit there.

Like, that's the whole point of a late night. You're sitting with your buddy and you're just talking. Look at you. I thought you should sit in your chair, too. I'm going to trim my pubs here in a second, my toenails. No, I think the format's kind of antiquated, you know? In the 70s and 80s, the variety show was popular. And in the 80s and 90s, that became antiquated.

And I think what's happening now with late-night talk shows, the relevance of seeing your favorite film stars, peel back the curtain, get to know them, and hear a story about it, it's all gone. Like, the reverence of it is done because now it's all on your phone. Like somebody from Rotten Tomatoes is talking about Top Gun 2, and they'll get a soundbite of Tom Cruise talking about it. Like you get people that kind of reinvent it, like James Corden with the late-night karaoke stuff.

That was kind of cool. He's cool. But you're still watching it online. They do skits too and they play games, Two Truths and a Lie with Jimmy Fallon and stuff like that. He does some fun stuff. I think he does a great job. He's a great host. Yeah.

He understands that sometimes you get, I don't know, like, there's certain hosts that I think more the attention is towards them or they can't wait to make a joke or whatever. That's why. Like it's kind of centric around them. Yeah. Yeah. That's why I just thought Carson was the greatest, because it didn't matter who got the laugh, as long as the show got the laugh. As long as we're all left. Yeah. Pro vibes.

Pro vibes. I feel a future hat or T-shirt coming with that. Ooh, pro vibes. Pro vibes. Yeah. Let's go. Yeah. Garrett.

Write that down. Shall we do tier talk? Tier talk. This has been a long episode. It's been fucking awesome, by the way. No. I apologize to like your listeners. It's like, oh, it's a comedian.

It's going to be fucking fun. And it's like, it got a lot more serious. but I, sorry about that. I think people appreciate it. Do you feel like being a comedian you have to be funny all the time? There's times where like, yeah, you feel like I should chime in here.

And even like, even when I'm talking, it's like, oh, I could do this trumpet, I could do this bid or I could improv. But like with you guys, it's, it just feels comfortable. So it's nice. And I think as long as, should we get a three ways in?

As long as it's interesting, I hope I'm, you know, the conversation is interesting. You read your cross. There you go. Trifecto. Yeah. This is a very, it's a homie bus.

Yeah. Yeah, pro. Oh. Yeah, tier talk. Do you know the premise of tier talk? We'll be kind of explained it earlier. Yeah, yeah. And we're doing.

So tier talk, tiers one through three. Obviously, your top three. We obviously were arguing about it earlier with the sports movies, but you will start with your tier three and build up. This is a good way to get roasted on the internet. You can choose. Have you seen any of the clips on Instagram or Twitter where you can go follow us at Buzz and WTV?

You said you did. I didn't see the tier talks per se, no. So, yeah. So usually you can say them, but it's usually better if you give some context as to why you're choosing them. And do you follow Bustin with the boys? I do, yeah.

Okay, go. On Instagram, yeah. I'm just making sure. Love that. That's huge. Deer three. So you're going to go first. I know it's tough.

I can pick from... You can pick whatever you want. This is more like a guideline. Yeah, it's more like a guideline. Okay. Hey, you've got my Tier 1 on here, though. Which is going to get roasted. Hey, never mind.

Tier... No, no, no, no. Never mind. I had a question, but it's already on that. there. So I go 321, right? Do I do it in order or do we go 333, 3.3, 2, 2. No, no, you do an order. We, I mean, it could be fun. You want to do that? You want to change that up? When I was telling the boy, CJ was on, he goes, since I'm, since I'm sitting in Taylor's seat, I want to go last. I was like, it's funny. You brought that up because I was actually going to try and make an argument and say, I have earned the right to go last since the scoreboard is. I think we can agree. You have more followers to me now, homie. My boy got his following's up. It's been a good glow up here for Willie.

That's great I appreciate it Like trying to take the comment I appreciate that But no The line's been drawn And so I will go last You want we start

You start it You go three And then one of you guys go I'll go Taylor King Damn we're doing 3333 3 3 Yeah I think that would be a fun Little element

Okay Okay My tier three is Martin While really trying to get The Black community Someone's age is showing I fucking love Martin Lawrence back Oh my God

That's show I've seen it Come on now I had college roommates. Yeah, they got that mic back there. They're fucking loving it. You guys never watched Martin? I mean, we've seen Martin.

Yeah. Oh my college roommates are going animated. Like, I love that show. Martin. In anybody else's hands, they would play that straight. Physically giving every line and over, he's like, almost like a black Jim Carrey. Like, everything is so much more accentuated.

I fucking love it. He just threw every ounce of his body and soul into that show. And everybody else is just pedestrian in it and grounding it. and grounding it. God. I'll tell you, the way you explain that just now

kind of fired me up. Yeah. I like that. I love that show. I love like the view you have on this stuff that we wouldn't have because you've been living it.

You know? Like he threw his body until he was so essential. Everyone was just there to support him while he did it. I'm like, yeah, she was funny. You know?

You don't really. He reads and writes and does all the story telling. Yeah. Very well spoken. Very well spoken. A lot of big words. A lot of big words.

Who's going to go from the back? Well, he's in Bloss to C, so I only feels right. So this is your tier one. Okay, my tier one. They each is their tier one, and this will be their three. Wait, what? So they all get it? They each each give their favorite one.

And that is their one, two, three. Got you. Got you. So J.P's the first, okay. Yeah. Yeah, my tier one is, we mentioned earlier. Are you going to tier one or tier three, too? Huh?

Tier one or tier three? This is their tier three. Their collective is going to be. Got it. Sorry. Wait, no, no. You're going to say tier two or tier one. But that don't make no sense.

On the graph is going to be... Do we let everybody have their own tiers? Maybe we just leave it up there. The chart would be way too, like, small and too many grab things are going on. How about this? They give their tier threes, and us as a group picks the best one out of it that makes it on the graph. Oh. An element.

You like that, right? I love elements. Yes. It's fine, man. Look, you want to that thing. Hey, this one, if that's on, hey, if that's on your tier list, you're a piece of shit. Oh, no. Which one?

That second from the bottom? I mean, it is like that, but there's only been one season, two seasons. I know. Yeah, you're right. And that's a lot of recency bias going into. A lot of recentcy bias. That's a phenomenal show. Because I can name three that's like, two seasons, right?

I think there's two seasons. The third one coming out soon, right? And it's a fire show. But it's so premature. I agree. It's so premature. I appreciate that, Jack. Hey, I was, dude, we cannot let Jack be like...

Bro, he's owning us right now. The judicial... He's our teenager, dude. He doesn't listen no more. That's good, Taylor. Good job. You're developing. All right, so, JP, give us your tier three.

My tier three is the office. And I was late to the office. I was always a hater of it. Like, yeah, this is kind of... This is mid. Yeah. And they were like, just watch it. I started to watch it.

You know the characters. It's like, all right, this is solid. So my tier three is the office. Jackie, Tier 3? My tier 3 will be, it's always sunny in Philadelphia. Still running to today. Phenomenal cast, very hilarious. Charlie Days is the end.

We're in the first episode. Is he really? Yeah. So that one's canceled. My tier 3 is going to be that 70 show. I think that one's a sleeper. Oh, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, sorry, I fucked up. But when you pick, though, like, let's say Garrett has an incredible tier 3.

What if it's someone's tier 2? and that's where it does play a little because Garrett's is in my list. Yeah. I don't know. Hey, cut out the part where Will says Garrett's is in my list

because you don't want people people on their seats right now, the edge of their seats. I know, but that reaction that he, that. I gave, we both did,

yeah, and I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have done that. I wanted to view it. I wanted that. Yeah. My tier three is, and I hate,

that I'm piggybacking. You know what? I don't want to piggyback. I'm going to throw an honorable mention to the office. My tier three, you know how I like to get a little wiggle room. My tier three will be friends. I think friends is fucking all time.

I loved every season. I binged all of it. I binged it the second time when I was in year three or four and loved every minute of it. I watched their reunion. And to me, like, taking friends, because they did what, 10 seasons? I think so, yeah.

10 years of people being best friends. Like everyone in their world, like we go through high school. We think, man, when we're in high school and we're going to hit our careers, we think one day we're all going to come back to our bubble. See who did what and compare it in the romances that go on. Same with college. Like the fact that these guys, and that's four years growing up together, and four years of high school.

But going through 10 years of being like an adult in a show, going back and forth, riffing off each other, figuring each other out. They probably did have romances. Ross and Rachel. Rachel, yeah, yeah. I almost drew a blank right there. I got your back. But their actual romance was a real thing.

And for them to come back and do their anniversary and to see that they get to kind of do what everyone kind of thinks about in high school, I think is incredible. So my tier three is going to be friends. That, dude. That's a great way to put it. Dude, yes.

That was solid. I don't like doing it this way. I don't like this. Okay. It's that, well, you know, I, fuck, dude. Because there's like five on here. They could really go in any order.

for me. For sure. At first, I disagreed with Will, but I got to give an honorable mention to the office as well. Yeah.

Dude, this sucks. It's just the camera angle vibes that office gives and the zoom ins and the reacting to the camera, the awareness. You can put it on any time too

and it's just background. Yeah. That's really all sitcoms. You can kind of do that, the ones you love. All right. My heart's pounding out of my chest right now. Because

my tier three. It's like a Rose ceremony on The Bachelor. You got to insert the drama music, close-ups. I think ours is going to be the same. That's okay. We know that what's okay. And two.

Bro, my tier three is friends. And there's not a whole lot I can say other than what Will just said. The romances, everybody getting along with each other, everybody's own specific storyline that they were able to go and develop on their own. You fell in love with each of them every single time. Everyone was a big chain their guy. Then after her three or four scenes, you're like, yo, I love Joey too. And then everyone kind of hates on Ross for a little bit, but he's like, yo, he's got to be there too.

He needs to be there. And then he gets the hottest girl. Then Monica comes in, almost, oh my God, Chandler and Monica are now a thing that's fucking crazy to me. I didn't know that could happen. Now, all of a sudden, Joey's into Rachel, and he doesn't know how to tell Ross. How's Ross? In the engagement? And his apartment's right across the street.

They can see into the window. They can see what's going on. Remember the engagement when she was having the baby and he, and Joey turns around? Oh, Phoebe's now a surrogate for another. family? That's crazy. The coffee shop, and number one hit, the coffee shop is the thing? It is unbelievable, dude. Goosepumps again. Wow. I think Friends is at tier three.

You broke it all down. You did. What sounded like a rap. Dude. Oh my God. Yeah. That was great, dude. Man, I think our tier twos are going to be the same also. I think, don't say nothing, no. Don't say nothing. All right. We've been cemented. Tier three, we're good. J.P., you're up. All right, my tier two.

I think this would have been my tier one if I was older, but my tier two is Seinfeld. I think it's just unreal. That's what they said when it was first. I'm going on record. Is this my camera? I'm on record. I fucking hate him.

Oh, you don't like Seinfeld. I've heard Seinfeld's a piece, though. Oh, wow. Sidebar story? We got a side story? He's just a horrible person. Oh, you see his interview with Larry King when the B movie came out? Just watch that.

Just watch that. So you're just saying from watching on the outside in, he's going to be in at the cellar and just seeing him and just like how he just, the air about him. It's just like, oh, God, what a horrible.

You know, like when, when the room, when somebody walks in the room and it just gets cold? Yeah. Like, that's what it's like for me. I'm like,

I did, not a fun hang. Oh, hang. There's no hang. It just, he just floats in with arrogance and then leaves with arrogance. He would do,

Jerry Sanfell is on top of the world. Yeah. He would do, what is it? the coffee show, getting coffee? Oh, yeah. I tune her... I'm getting coffee.

Isn't that a great comedy? And watch, uh... That kind of... I was never a big Seinfeld guy, but that... I heard that thing's good, yeah, but, you know, it's just... But go ahead, continue, JP. Yeah, it's got to be tough to talk about after that just happened. Fax, don't care about your feelings.

I separate the person from the show. As a middle character, it's weird to hear. Fuck you, dude. That's crazy. So, yeah, Tier 2, Seinfeld. Next stop, please. Now, they're all going, right? right? They're all going. So this is Jack's tier two.

This is tough, man. My tier two is going to be a rest of development. This phenomenal show with a lot of the way they intertwine all the running jokes throughout the seasons. It's very well written, not just like an easy comedy to be a part of. It's once you really get invested, all of the banana stand, I mean, there's so much.

If you shut your eyes, if you shut your eyes, you hear Stephen. Oh, kind of Do people ever tell you sound like Stevo? No, but I definitely have that, like, very, like, one of those. You sound like a stoner. Yeah, it's the reason you guys started calling me Stoner Jack. Yeah, which I thought was such a cool nickname and you totally shit on it. Well, yeah, you know, I didn't have a career at the time, so that's pretty...

So you go back to being Stoner Jack now? No, I'm... And now you're Melf Hunter Jack. You guys just are just trying to destroy my career at all times. That's okay with me. They're mad because you said another one of their shows. Did I really? No, no, no, no.

But I thought of one, and it is breaking my heart. That's not your two or three? Yeah. It's the message. You saw me put my fist down. I know. I'm very upset.

I'm very upset about it. Okay, so Arrested Development for Jackie. I'm kind of confused of this as a sitcom, but eastbound and down is going to be my tier two. Does that count? That could, that would be a single cam.

If you're putting an REST development in, I think you would put that in because they're both single cam shows. Okay. Single cam. Yeah. It's like on HBO, right? Yeah.

There's entourage. I mean, sitcom to me, you've got to be on cable television. Well, entourage isn't considered a comedy, though. Yeah, you're right. That was bad. That was bad for them. You know what I'm saying? If you're rich.

That's why I'm confused. It's 30 minute. You want to stay safe? It'll be 30 minutes or less. Oh. If it is, eastbound and down is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. So it's righteous gemstone? That's why I'm like, that's why I don't want.

to get into that area. Yeah. Yeah, I never. Yeah. Here, I think it should be the 30 minutes or less and it should be on cable television. Where everybody can enjoy it.

Yeah, we're ever been. You have the channels. Yeah. Okay. Yes. All right, so that's tough. We're going to take it away from you. We're going to take it away from me, Garrett. Oh, we'll put his fist down.

Do you want us to come back to you? Yeah, I've got to come back. That's fair. TV? Okay, my tier 30 minutes or less, cable TV. My, my honorable mention because I didn't get one was cheers. because I fucking love Cheers.

I can watch that. Good one too, dude. That's a good one too. Cheers is unbelievable. Oh, dude, Norm. Hey, what does you say? Hey, Norm would shake in two cheeks and a couple of chins, hand me a beer.

Yeah. Dude, every time he sat down. The best cold open of that show, it was one of the few they ever did outside. Norm standing outside. And I think Woody, Woody comes out. And he's like, oh, what are you doing? Wait, wait, wait.

And then this car drives by, wait, wait, wait. And then this car drives by, wait, wait, wait. and honks and Norm waves. He goes, oh, who was it? He's like, ah, it's my wife. It was our anniversary today. And he goes back downstairs. That's the opening.

That's brilliant. Yes, that's my honorable mention. But my tier two, it's a curb ball, but it's the British office. Oh, whoa. The British office is the greatest single cam show done. It was so popular. It created, it basically gave license to 30 Rock. Parks and Red. All of them. They all copied that style. And it was on BBC 2.

Ricky Jervis did it on nothing of a budget. The whole stilted camera in the back, they all ripped off of it. The American office, I enjoy it, but the British office, nothing will touch it. It's so uncomfortable. It's so fucking great. Ricky Jervais is a genius in that show. If you've never seen it, watch. There are only six episodes of season, by the way, over in England. So there's three seasons. seasons, it's like 18 episodes. They, and to his point when he, when he saw Steve Carell get the award at the Emmys, he said, uh, ours was only three seasons and only like 18 episodes. He said, uh, quality over quantity.

And I do agree with that sentiment, though, because they jammed, that show is so rock solid. There's no fat on those shows. It's great. Damn. Now you, the way you put it and had me agree with you a little bit. I don't know how it's going to be received. It's fine. Because the office is so revered here.

You don't have the office. You don't have any of those single cam shows that were to arrest the development. None of it, unless you have the British office. I love that. I love that you stick your flag on the ground. He's thinking from Christopher Guest because of the mockumentary spinal tap was so influential to him. He wanted to make the mockumentary of being in a shitty office and, you know, working class England. That's pretty outstanding.

I'm absolutely sick. Bro, I'm sick, too, because I just thought of two. I'm absolutely sick to my stuff. stomach that I can only say to more because I have three like a true three. Yeah. And the fact that I've already said it to your three and I've said an honorable mention, it's like my baby girl came to me right away. I know my number one.

I know my number one in the middle. I could puke. This might not be well received by you guys. But I would like to ask if I can bump. It's okay if it's no. It's okay. I promise it's okay. The ink dry yet or?

I put my fist down You did, you did, you did But my hands are literally sweating I'm so sick Dude, same bro, I am lost right now Okay, here's the deal We all got to vote I'll go first

I think that's okay I really appreciate that I really do appreciate that You guys want to start over No no no for Will to bump his three For me to knock my three And he's to have two honorable mentions now So will I

I'm such a fucking loser We will not allow that with you. Why? Didn't vote against you have to vote. You should have to vote if they vote and that are going to vote against you. I need to bump my three too. Hey, Jack, you want that Chevrolet?

Come on. All right, I say yes. JP? I would say yeah. Yeah. I appreciate it. Okay, that's two? I say no.

I say no. We got the people on the show. Their votes go. Oh, really? You guys kind of like double. That's crazy. You get two votes? All dictator Willie, dude.

Yeah. Dictator Willie. We're going to let the... I agree. Let's go, baby. I want to change mine too. It benefits me. Let's go.

We can't let the prisoners run the yard. You talk crazy you guys. I saw you all in Vermont having a great time. Like, damn, they're getting relationships. Sounds like it wasn't. Oh, God. All right. So, Willie,

give us your two honorable mentions and your tier three? My two honorable mentions, like, I, I'm sad we had to bump friends. I do think we really, we said about it too. We really did friends right. Go ahead. Yes. Oh, wow. Okay.

I'm not adding, like, another honorable mention in there. I just, I have my three. Yeah, okay. My tier three is going to take everybody for everybody's going to be like, huh? But when I really started to fall in love with the idea. of knowing that it was a sitcom. It happened for me in college when I would binge this show because my brother Cody, shout out Cody,

all the free shoutouts to the little bro. Put me on this show. And it is how I met your mother. How I met your mother is one of my favorite shows of all time. I just thoroughly enjoyed it. It was one of the first shows I binge watched. I think the pub at the bottom. Will Sassow actually makes an appearance

in how I met your mother. But what's the big dog's name from how from forgetting Sarah Marshall? Jason Siegel. Yeah, Jason Stiegel. like I love all the characters there. I'm sticking with that. I really love how I met your mother. That is my tier three.

Wow, both friends. Yeah. And it's wild, too, because without friends, how I much your mother has not happening, right? I agree with you. So the premise of you took the office. It's kind of the opposite here.

I don't hate it, though. I think How I Met Your Mother is a phenomenal film. But I'm not mad at you at all. Okay, good deal. I really, I needed that, truthfully. Because mine's going to get to get shit on.

I don't go back and watch Friends for the second time without binging how I met your mother. Like friends, I would just kind of watch sporadically. I never kept up with it to where it was like in sequence or chronological order. But when Cody put me on how I met your mother and I watched that all the way through and I fucking loved it, that made me go back and watch chronologically the friends. So friends wouldn't be there without how much mother. Now, one thing I don't like about how much your mother is it's kind of everyone has their own character development,

but it's really based around buddy. What's that dude's name? The main guy in how much mother? Since it's your tier three, you should know his name. I know. But I'm more in love with like Barney. Yeah, Barney's all time. Barney was all time.

You're talking about Ted. Ted. I think Ted was kind of a bitch. Because after a couple of seasons, you're like, you kind of just... He's kind of like the Ross. Yeah, and it's like... Always shaking you up. He kind of annoyed me after a while.

For sure. And I thought Barney kept it going. Jason Stiegel, that's his name right? He did... Siegel, he did a fantastic job too. Okay. My friends is now bumped and I think yours was more well received. Mine will not be well received.

Oh, wow. I'm doing it too as well because we're on. We need your two. So my tier two is that 70 show. That 70 show was the first show. I would literally go home after high school every day and watch it. Didn't matter which one was on. All of the characters that are I loved them.

Red Foreman, Eric Foreman, Kelso, Hyde, Jackie. I love Donna. I loved them all, dude. They sit in the circle, understand that they're all getting high, but they're not like, you know. They're implying. Yeah, they're implying. Yeah, it's even better. It's even better, bro.

But I just, I love Eric, I'm going to put. my foot in your ass, the tough love, just the basement vibe. Yeah. That 70 show. The mom's an alcoholic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. That 70 show is like the first sitcom that I just would watch over and over every day.

Phenomenal. Thanks, man. So my friends is now bumped. Boys, I'm sorry you're being true the way you have today. Just know, although I agree with Will, I don't agree with how he handled it. My tier three. We get out here, boys. We're straight.

You know what I'm saying? I'll get you guys back one of these days. My tier three has not been seen by a lot of people And I will I've tried to put you on the show so many times I think it's phenomenal The show is one long run on sentence It's based in Canada It's a small tiny town of 5,000 people

Of Christian Hicks Hockey players and skids The dynamic is unbelievable And the spinoff I think I would have put it in my tier talk But it's only been one season But it fires me the fuck up That show is Letter Kenny

Right I think that show is so funny. The chirps the way people... I fucking love that show. I think it's unreal. And then in that show, which will eventually probably become in my tears, is a show called Shorzie,

which is a spinoff of a character on that show. Shor Zee's a hockey player. You never see his face. Jared Kizzo, who is the writer and director of that show, plays one of the main characters, who's quote-unquote Hick. He also plays Shoresy as a hockey player, but you never see a show.

face the whole time and all he does is just chirp. They made a spin-off where Jerry Kizo's face is now seen and they're in this shitty place in Canada where they're playing like senior A hockey. Sure. And it is, buddy, if you like hockey, you will fucking love this show. All right. Yeah. Taylor really does.

The first thing. Taylor really tries to put me on it all the time. I just haven't taken the time to say it. It is so genuinely funny. I love it. I absolutely love it. Okay. Yeah.

I'll check it out. Yeah. Letter Kenny's great, but you're going to love Shores. He's only six episodes. Yeah. They're fast pace. they move, like it's going and going and going. Where is it?

You can't find it on who. Oh, I can't put it in there. It's on Hulu. I was wondering if it was on like, yeah, it's not on cable. I can't put him in there. Oh. That's crazy. Taylor just intercepted himself.

Yeah, I threw the ball and I ran and caught it. That was pretty impressive of me. It's on Hulu. I wish you didn't ask that because then I could have got away. It's all right. It would have been found out eventually. Maybe you can have that like, but into Canada. Where is it seen?

Crave. Crave TV, which is their Hulu. Oh, okay. I thought it was on like CBC. Maybe you can put it as your honorable mention and keep their friends with it. It's just so it gets it to love and then you obviously explain it on social media.

I'm gonna need that whole letter to anything cut up dumb. I'm trying to get on that show. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm trying to get on that show. But yeah, what a fantastic show. And Shores is unbelievable. You will absolutely love it.

Garrett, what would you have bumped? Oh, I gotta do my tier two. Oh, that's right. So now friends is back in my tier three. Is that what we're saying? It'll be on the graph. They'll all be on the grass. We'll give you Shorthy.

We'll give you Letterkenny. Yeah, that's fine. You do love Letterkeny. According to you, they don't count. So. I would say I would vote yes with them on Letterkenny. You let me keep it? Yeah.

Nope. Letter Kenny is Letter Kenny. Oh, he's bound it down? Love it, dude. I could sit there and watch the Will Ferrell bloopers. Oh, literally every fucking day, dude. Two plums for one. Yeah, yeah.

That is just so funny. Okay, anyway. That's my tier three. Let the boy watch. My tier two, we're on the same wavelength today. That 70 show. Just like Will, I would come home. That is the first time I fell in love with, like, your celebrity crush.

Who's your celebrity crush? Kate Winslow, Winslow or Winslow? I know she's not on that 70 show from Titanic. The first booms I saw. She was the first boobs I saw in that really, whoa. This is what the world's like. That's incredible. The first girl I fell in love with was Jackie.

Oh my God She was unbelievable Milakunes has since then been my celebrity crush Don't care how old she gets She's just outstanding in my opinion I hope I never meet her I hope I never do Yeah I don't want to get let down

You know I don't I don't want to be let down Isn't it fucking awesome that Milakunis and Ashen Kutcher got married Unbelievable And I love Ashton Jackie I fucking love Ashton Kutcher The whole dynamic between everybody It's just

It's outstanding dude It's such a great show That 70's show is my tier two. I'm proud of these. I'm proud of all these right now. What would you want to bump? I'm going to need to bump that 70 show to two and do three now.

Okay. What was your three? Well, it was that 70 show and then I did eastbound and down. Y'all said no for some reason. He said no. Will said no. What was your year through the second time around? I haven't done it yet.

Okay, okay, okay. Go ahead, kid. Proceed. All right, so now that I'm bumping that 70 show to two, my tier three is going to be two and a half men. That was one that I felt like I was young and didn't understand, but I've gone back and watched them. And it's just, I don't know why,

but it makes me laugh so hard. It's a random one, but it's one that, like, I didn't really watch a bunch, but it's one of those. All right. All right, boys. All right. The tier one.

Now we're at number one. My tier one is fresh prince of Bel Air. They got it all in there And especially the scene When his dad is gonna take him on a trip And then his dad bails at the last moment And he's crying with Uncle Phil He's like, you know what? I don't need him

I taught myself how to drive I taught myself how to shoot a basketball The hell with him Why he don't love me man Oh, I teared up just now Yeah Damn Here one

He's man jazz Carlton And Viv and Viv And Viv spoke at our graduation in college as well So three one Prince. That's a good one. To me, the office,

though, is God tier so it doesn't even deserve to be on the list. And I agree with Steve with the U.K. office really setting the playing field for everyone. But I think the office is God tier.

One right there? No. They'll be talking about. Don't you fucking talk like that. But my number one, and this probably won't catch a ton of eyes, but for me, it's workaholics.

Workaholics is so... Oh, my God. I forgot about workaholics. me. It's my guilty pleasure show. I played it on. I just throw it on the background and just let it play. So yeah. Number one, tier one, workaholics.

What a great deal. Damn, I, bro. I knew I was gonna get this is gonna happen. This is why I like to go last. My number one is also workaholics. Like it is like where I get my humor. It's just, it's done everything I've needed it to do. And you

just put it on repeat. I think I'm on season four again for like the 20th time. It's just so good. That's fucking... Obviously, that wasn't received the same way, Gary, but you know. He just said it.

So it was the phenomenal picks, boys. I'm a little insulted. No one put Sullivan and son in any other top three. That's fine. Is that your tier one? No, no, no. I was on my own show and it's not in my top three. My top one, my tier one,

married with children. I fucking love married with children. And you got to remember at a time, sitcom is very traditional, right? It was the Cosby show. It was kind of, Rachel. Yeah, cheers. But then you got Fox, this brand new network that's coming out and they put this sitcom on where they just said anything they fucking want. That show was almost like the internet before the internet. You have characters saying things that are so outlandish and insulting and making like a mockery caricatures of like your your typical housewife. Peg's constantly smoking. Al Bundy's got his hand in his pants and he just wants to read Biggins or go to go to Biggins,

the strip club with his group of guys and the neighbors and they treat their kids like shit and the kids treat their parents like shit. You'd never seen anything like it before. I fucking love that show. And Ed O'Neill in that show is the, I mean, when he's in the shoe store and, and And like women are coming out, like big obese women taking their shit. And he's shitting on them and making fun of them. Like, oh, keep your shoe on.

Please get out of that. You know, he had so many great lines. I live and die by that show. If that show's ever on, I just, I don't move. I love it. It's great. Yeah, I've never watched it. You've never seen.

No, I never have, brother. Have you guys seen a member of which? But I love the way you explain it. Holy shit. I can listen to you, talk about anything. He, he, the lines in that show, the caricatures of, of like, it's, really, it's like, it's about masculinity because Al Bundy

is like your typical American male. He wants to drink beer. His wife annoysy. Every time his wife wants sex, he's got a line. He's like, Peg, I'd rather do X, Y, Z, than have sex with you. And it's, and his daughter's a horror. Christina Abilgates an absolute horror. Hey, which

makes that 70s show a good one, too. The sister. Yeah, the sister. Yeah. Ted Bundy not Ted Bundy, but Bud Bundy's always jerking off. There's all these masturbation. It's like, again, like you got it. It's like a time capsule in time. You'd never see anything like it.

But they still hold up. If you get a chance, watch an episode in the middle of like their runs. The first season or two, they were still defining their voice as a show. But it is hilarious. Laugh out loud lines. That writer's room must have been like, I don't think they ever were like, oh, you can't do that. That's too far. Like that's how crazy the lines were on that show.

Married children. Is the dad on that show, he's the grandpa and modern family? Yes. Okay. That's okay. And what a great show as well, Modern Family. Two totally different characters. He is, he's great.

That shows awesome. And the dad in Modern Family is also phenomenal. All time character. Married with children. You never heard of Married Children? I haven't. Dude, when I was in middle school, when I was in middle school, I got grounded from,

not middle school, elementary school. I had grounded from like cartoons. I wasn't allowed to watch cartoons. So on Channel 51, there was TV land. And TV land played all the older ones. So I started watching, Cosby Show, married with children,

all that stuff, dude, that show came out of 87. 87, it ran for like, I don't know when it, it must have gone to a nice old. Your list might not play well on Twitter,

but you might do numbers on Facebook. Oh, that's fucking funny now. I'm 47 years old. I mean, I own my age. I don't care of that. At least I'm not counting.

You look fantastic. I love Lucy. You know, happy days. Yeah. Dude, so my, my tier. Are you ready?

Yeah. I'm ready for my. I've been excited. This was actually the one I thought about because I watch it so casually and I think it is timeless. You're getting more for this? I'm nervous. It's a shout to the Tiger Blood King himself, Charlie Sheen, two and a half men. That is my faith. Yes.

I can watch it. I still watch it. I watch it now. When it's on, I go on two and a half men. It can be background noise. It is my favorite show. I was so sad when they stopped running him or they went into the Ashton Coucher. I didn't think that two and a half men was that good at all.

but the Charlie Sheen, two and a half man, dude, is my favorite shit. I would watch it. I think it's timeless. I think I'll watch it forever. As long as they're running them on TV, I'm watching it. Two and a half men. Yeah, I was impressed with the way you reacted when two and a half men was brought up. I, dude, I was like when he, because Loki Gerard took a couple from me.

I think we know who's just making the list. What do you mean? Up there. Because we're taking one, right? Yeah, we're taking one from each for sure. Like, no, no, no, no, we're taking one column. Like, it seemed to be J.P.'s column. Jack's column or Garrett's column.

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I thought it was going to be one from. Well, the way I phrase it, that's how I was thinking. But we can do whatever you guys want. I'm done to do the person. I'm going to do the person too. Like, hey, you got called up to the big.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sitting here listening to Garrett. I'm like, we could legit fucking watch TV together. There's even Yellowstone. That was beautiful. Yeah. I think it's a way to say it, too. Like, yo, I can fucking watch TV with this motherfucker. Yeah, I don't really know.

We would have a great time. Not saying a word to each other and kind of like looking over each other, like, you like this too? That would be a lot of first. I know you got a good friend, too, is when you sit in a room and just don't even talk. Yeah, you don't have to talk. You don't have to do. There's no like, hey, we got to say something to each other. You go and sit there and watch TV stare at your phones.

Yeah. And you're cool with it. Yeah. It's a friend right there. That's a friend. And eventually, like, I think I'm going to head home. You're like, all right, bro. We'll see you.

Or if you're me, it's like, come, I'll stay for 10 more. 10 more minutes. Like, we've done nothing. Yeah. Two and a half men, though. That's a solid one. You know what I thought of, too? I don't think you're going to say it.

So I'll just, may I have a third honorable mention? I'm just fucking around. Oh, you are. My man is crazy. But what I was thinking of is King of Queens. I really, I always like enjoy that show. It was an enjoyable show. I don't think it was going to make the tears.

It wouldn't make the tears, no. But a good, like, you kind of grin and. Right. Yeah. Like, let me go see what Kevin James is that, too. All right, my tier one. it got me right here because every single time

I would watch a show having some girl problems. I don't know why. But if I was having some girl problems if I was going through a breakup or I was just a little down, I would put this show on, I would just watch her for hours.

It made me feel so warm and fuzzy watching the trials and tribulations of this young gentleman work through becoming a doctor and going through love, figuring out with people, what are we going to do left and right? I will watch the show whenever it's on.

You put it on now and it's a little cheese. It's a little cheesy if you put it on now, but it's so fire and that show is Scrubs. I think that show is all fucking time. My, no.

Boy, Logan's favorite show. Really? I think that show is so good. Brown Bear, my buddy, that's who he's named after. My nickname for him. But anyway. That Brown Bear's on the show of Scrubs?

Brown Bear, yes. Okay. JD is the main character. His best friend is Brown Bear. Who's the, Pete, yeah, who's Pete from from a member of the Titans. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

His character is unbelievable. But they just, dude, that's an all-time show. It warms my heart every single time I watch it. I love it. The head doctor, Dr. Cox, his rants going in on JD was just all-time. Dude, that guy's so fucking funny. I absolutely love that show.

I'm sorry, no golden girls. Not one mention of golden girls. Golden girls. Yeah, you ever watch it? I've never actually seen golden girls either. Really? Solid. Pretty funny.

Holds up. Yeah. Really? One of the classics that you'll just be flipping through channels and it's on. It's like, Betty White. Yeah. Yeah. Betty White, the Arthur.

Mm. Well, I was going to say. A lot of greats out there. A lot of greats out there. That's why it's teared. The sitcoms, I think also what helps the sitcom game is their songs. Like that intro song, like every time it comes on, you're like, I'm not hitting. Man, men.

Like, on Netflix, you can hit Skip. But, like, the sitcom songs, like the intro songs, were, just perfect. I was saying about God tier. I think, you know, we put wedding crashes at God tier for our rom-coms. If we all, if our tier ones are all the same, automatic God-tier. And so that one transcends. And then our tier two's become tier ones, tier three is two, and then we get one more.

An honorable mention makes it up. How do we figure that out, though? If that's how it's God tier, dude. You know what I'm saying? It would be. But we would all say, say, best rom-com. And we'd all, for us, I don't know what it would be for you. I love, I don't know.

I love Lucy's a sitcom, but you know what I'm saying? You know the joke I'm trying to present to you right now. But wedding crash was by far, number one. I just saying it's slick that, so who we picking back there for the list? My vote would be Garrett. My vote is also Garrett. All right. Wow, this is the longest I've ever been on a podcast.

It's fucking great. Thank you guys. How did you feel about the tear talk? Like, were you getting bored listening to us kind of talk? No, we were super into it, but I was kind of thinking like, what I like hearing is like the diseminent, like how you break it down. and how you break down. When you did the Friends rant, I was like, oh, my God.

I bet like if you took that sound clip and sent it to somebody that wrote on Friends, they'd be fucking like over the moon. It was so fun to see how you broke it down. And then your take on, I think your third was really cool. I don't know. It's fun to hear how people perceive the show and what it means to them. You know, I liked it. I had fun.

It's a great way to go turn off your brain. Exactly, yeah. God. Good vibe, Steve. That's a pro vibe. That's why it was funny. I was talking to the guys on impractical jokers. That's why their show works.

Do you know why? Because their laugh is their laugh track. Yeah. Which I never put together. I was like, that's fucking brilliant. Yeah, that's smart. That show is so damn funny. Now, why did they break up?

Are they done doing their thing or? No, three of them are still doing it. Joe just stepped away. I think he's, you know. Seems like we should have Joe on. I could talk about it. Sounds like you got a big trifect ahead of you. Dan Cook, which will probably put that in.

the probably not category. The Vince phone will put in the probably category. And then Joe, we'll see how the rest of this conversation goes. If Dane came out here to play, I'm sure he'd do it. Because he's doing a lot more podcasts. Vince, I'll, I'm sure I'll talk to the next day or so. And then, uh, go on me, I'll talk to. Gatowell I'll talk to.

Just you call and we take the phone. I'm like, hey, uh, you want to come on? What's up, sweetheart? Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Um, I'm still sitting on the bus with Steve Byrne, Taylor and all the boys. are just now wrapping up. Your boy will be home as fast as possible.

We just got down with our tear talk. How's Rood doing? Is Rue being a little nightmare? Man, imagine being married to Will where, like, you think every conversation you have might be, like, recorded or tweeted about. You know, Charles, they're like, yeah, she's being fine. It's not that big of a deal.

She did she was on speakerphone right now. Yeah, I'm sitting here with Steve and Taylor. She's like, okay, you know. Your thing's great. Yeah. Stay as long as you want. She just made a text on the phone. aside. Get your ass home.

Yeah, you know I was fucking around, right? Oh, just for the audio. But all right, baby, I'll be home soon. Oh, perfect. We'll, we'll order, uh, we'll order Uber Eats or Postmates. Why is your elbow so high? All right. What the fuck's that thing doing up there? All right. I'll talk to you later, sweetie. You just go right here and get a lot stretch.

What is he like that? Am I pittin? A little bit. God. That Ducan, no pits. Dickens fire. I want to give a quick shout out real quick to Chevy Silverado. The vehicle that they made, they made an engine called the 350. That is what is a sitting inside that 76 van.
