Shout out to people that are living because so many people are dead. Fred, he's not really dead, but I said what I said instead of a haiku with the flu or the Omarion strand. I'm a real nigga and I'm an ashy man. Sometimes people say my slowest wagon don't rhyme, but it don't matter because

I'm going to do it one more time. Bars, nigga! Yeah, I did. No, no, more time. Bars, nigga. Yeah, dude. No, no, no, no, no, no. Bars. Always late. Do you understand how important it is to have a bomb when you spit 16 just to punctuate the shit, son? You know?

Thanks for having me, man. We just got done doing my podcast. I wonder, when will you be putting this one up? When are you going to put yours up? Thursday. We're putting ours out tonight. Yo, we know your game. It's like this, when are you going to put yours up? Who's going to get the most hits? Yo, right now, I hope someone gets

like stabbed or something on this podcast, because I need more followers and shit right and i'm not gonna be i need something spectacular like steve o's gouges donnell's eyeball runs out of studio right and then we have something exclusive be like this oh clickbait we got him yeah like um fuck did you hear about when um the one guy was on mike tyson's hot boxing podcast i don't know if the footage came out but like fucking mike not like punched him i guess my question is see i'm a person believes that uh what did they say well what did they do i don't jump into it right i've seen i

mean he deserves it i'm not saying that he deserves it what i'm saying is that this is what i believe in nobody respects anymore steve there's two sides to every story okay i mean i i know what it was it was that uh mike tyson like really um respected cared about had a relationship he valued with tupac and this guest came on and and mike felt that this guest was being disrespectful to the memory of tupac and he wasn't playing that. And he fucking swung on him. And, and, and I don't like,

I had like the story came out and that's why I know it. There's nothing that's not public about that, but it's the actual video footage of. Right. Right. Like that. I just don't, I don't think that it ever came out and I don't know if there was like

some kind of a lawsuit surrounding it or anything like that. It sounded like a broken jaw was surrounding it. I know what's around about nurses or whatever. That's what I was going to do. And some people try to provoke certain shit. We was talking about this before we started. If I'm doing an interview, depending on what my line of questioning was going to be, I would determine how close I wanted to be with him.

If I know I'm going to be bold enough to ask Mike Tyson, right? Have you ever sucked a dick? Right? I know that I should be at least a half a building away from him. It's going to be a Zoom meeting. It's going to be something like a Zoom meeting. Yeah, let's do a Zoom meeting. Speaking of disrespect, I have to say this.

I'm going to get out of my system now. Steve-O, and you've been in the comedy world for like 11, 12 years, right? The level of disrespect that you've shown me over the years, you know? And I did your platform, right? I did your platform, and I was like your platform and I was like, oh. And we had a great conversation. But the level of disrespect you've shown me in the times I've crossed your path in the comedy club in the vein. I think you owe me an apology.

That's all I'm just saying. I don't know what it takes to get an apology out of you you can just be like Donald I'm sorry let's get past it you can fight it you can argue but you owe me an apology my question is do you remember seeing him at any of these comedy shows yes the motherfucker sorry not motherfucker Steve go ahead I

I'm not even sure how to take this because take it as you were disrespectful to me. That's all I'm saying. How else are you going to take it after you did that? Well, I mean, I get the sense that you're fucking with me. Right?

Like, I mean, how about this? If I really was disrespectful to you, then i would like to acknowledge that and and see what i want to make that right i don't want that i don't want acknowledgement you know what i want i want the same thing that lbgtqpfg community wants i want you to say you're sorry okay for no it doesn't you don't have to if i if there's truth to what you're saying and i was disrespectful to you that i am deeply sorry it doesn't have to be the truth you don't say sorry because you know the truth you say sorry because people want you to say sorry that's all i'm saying like i don't even give a fucking remember story

i just want a white man to say sorry to me, man. What does it take to get a white man? You shut the fuck up. You never say sorry, son. You never say sorry. No, I am joking. But it's just, the reason why I said it, because it's just a funny story.

Maybe three or four months ago, we were in New Mexico, just for laughs. Not New Mexico Mexico yeah in Cancun oh you said that because I'm black nah nah nah

we don't know the difference between Mexico and New Mexico I thought I heard you say black people don't know the Mexicos which one was y'all at the new one or the old one the OG Mexico no

yeah Mexico right alright in Cancun Cancun and it was it was just for laughs the first time we ever did

I guess they're doing what they did in Montreal a destination where you go somewhere get these group festival passes yeah they rent out a whole resort and then they pay you you're buying a package vacation with like meals included hotel room

and it's like you're going on this organized vacation. And it was not, it was the first time they ever tried to do it. I don't know that it was like financially that successful for them. But you know what? I don't, you know what?

When I looked at what happened, right? It was cool. It was a cool thing. But this is what I think. I think I really, this is what I really think Steve. It's going to be the beginning of something good. I believe so, too.

And I think so. You know how it was trying to perform during a pandemic, how comfortable people feel to go out, how people are going to get on a flight or something. So it meant a lot to me, the fact that it sold well. Again, what festival would make money at the beginning? Exactly. I'm not disparaging it in any

way it was uh the the the inaugural first time i think that uh it's it's the beginning of a good thing they had a bunch of different activities like during the day they had live podcasts they had headlines and you didn't go to none of the activities yeah no i did i did none of you motherfuckers went to the activities. Y'all tricked me. You didn't trick me, but they had this one thing. They was like, it was called the boat cruise, right? Oh, yeah, you went on the booze cruise. Yo, yo, yo, see, you know what it was.

Nobody told me. You went on the booze cruise, and you came back hammered. Okay, first of all, I want to apologize for giving up too much motherfucker information right now. Nobody asked what state I was in. I don't need those memories, motherfucker. That's what a memory is for, to experience it. Not for

Steve to tell him, this motherfucker went on a boat and came back fucked up. Hey, Donnell, we saw it on your IG stories. I didn't look. I got fucked up? You got fucked up. How do you not, man? There's white people in there with beers and shit. It was white people. Hey, man, it was white people I mean hey man

it was hot I was the only black person on here it was hot and you were thirsty end of story yeah and it was and they was having fun

I don't give a fuck man Sunday ball white chicks with two beers in their hands oh no with this yeah yo don't

I mean I'm a sucker for that shit every time titties and beers at the same time with the bounce some of them had mega hats on backwards too as long as it was backwards there was booze crews they had golf shit

they had this live karaoke band business which is where I tripped up no you didn't trip up this is when we had our first encounter okay so

everybody gets a certain amount of time we all know we all know right it was like one of those festivals you get 10 minutes we get 10 minutes but Steve-O goes on and he's You get 10 minutes, we got 10 minutes. But Steve-O goes on.

And he ran the light. It's blinking? No, ran it. Like, phew. Like, ran it. Right? And it was so funny. And I'm only having fun with this because I was excited to see him perform.

People were excited to see him. But I wanted to perform too, right? And I hadn't used a race card on the resort at all. I've been waiting to say because I'm black for anything. I can't get it off, right? He was like, you're going to go on that to Steve-O? And then he went a little long. I was like, oh. Oh, I see. Because if you use a race card, you've got go on that to Steve-O? And then he went a little long. I was like, oh.

Oh, I see. Because if you use the race card, you got to use this tone. Follow me. Oh. I see what's going on up in here. The race card doesn't stick unless you hit the oh. I see what's going on up in here. And it was the crazy thing.

I could care less what people going to like, but we had a certain amount of time. We had to be done by 12 o'clock. And they was like, yo, Steve is going a little long. I was like, I don't give a fuck if he's going long. They like it. We having fun, right? And then I said to myself, okay, we running lights, so what?

I didn't give a fuck. And the reason why I'm saying that, no, the reason why I'm saying i'm saying i'm being honest because some people bitch about the life for different reasons oh i want to i didn't give a fuck i look at it like this if motherfuckers are enjoying you if you're engaging if they feeling you i'm never we were like get them off i'm like let them get it all right but i was like okay so what he's running the light I'm like what does that mean it was like they might turn the lights off they were serious about the time

constraints this show was supposed to be ended at midnight it started at 11 it's gonna end at midnight and they're not fucking around at midnight they're pulling the power cord I understand why because Because of the resort? People need to sleep? Are there neighbors and condos?

No, because we're Americans over there. We loud as shit. That's what it is. I saw what y'all did. Yo, we have fun. Not because we're Americans, but motherfuckers want to go home. You know what I'm saying? The whole thing is like, this is what you do in a situation like that.

Like, you ask, who's on duty tonight? Who's the, which Pablo motherfucker, whatever it is, I know it's named Pablo, which one of y'all gotta go home hit him with some dough, you know what I'm saying? Come on, man. You know what I'm saying? It's kind of like, soft in situations. And I didn't care about it, but I was like, damn, I want to perform. And I was like, what's the worst

thing that could happen? They was like, oh, they could pull the power. I was like, that shit ain't gonna happen. So I did my set, right? I did my set after I watched him do a whole special. A Netflix special. No, this how much, this, and then this is the ultimate level of disrespect. After he smoked the light. And just dropped the microphone.

Yo, yo, after. and just dropped the microphone. Yo! Yo, after... That was a good one. After he just dropped the microphone, the motherfucker left us there with no lights. And I'm like, yo, if anybody needs... Where's Steve-O?

Where the fuck is Dave? He was like, we don't know. Couldn't find out later. He told me that he went to see a UFC fight or whatever. Well, no, I mean, I went to go watch it on TV. You are so disrespectful. You're so disrespectful. You couldn't watch the deal?

But the funny thing, but a moment happened. And this is what I was going back to, the reason why I liked the festival, because even though I went to the booze cruise, they were like, man, no celebrities are going to go. They was really happy to see me. Yeah. We had an amazing time.

And one thing that I did get out of that whole experience with those people really enjoyed themselves. I think this was the last night of the festival. So with Josh, you got this goddamn, what is the name of it? Goddamn Comedy Jam, Josh Adam Myers. Yes. It's fun. And I got to give him props, too, because he's been pushing that for a long time. Yeah. For a long time.

I saw it develop in the comedy club to just do it. Now it's one of the biggest parts of these festivals. And I chose, I was going to sing. He was like, you just got to sing a song. I'm like, I'm not a singer, motherfucker. I said, I got to come up with something that white people fuck with, right? And I decided Bruce Springsteen, Born in the USA. Never fails. Never fails.

Even though that song's been out for 30 years, I don't know the lyrics. Know the tune. I just know end up like a dog that's been beat too long till you end half your life trying to cover it up. Cover it up. It was that's all I remember. And I'm starting to do

Born in USA. I am patriotic. I'm there for my country. I don't know why Steve's there. He don't have no shit to say USA or nothing. He just drops the mic and leaves. Yeah.

He goes everywhere, just drops mics and let them explode and just leave. He had a show to watch. Yeah, he had a show to watch. It was big fight night. Okay, I get it. I get it. Yeah. And so lights go out.

Everybody's like, fuck that, fuck that. I was like, yo, man. And I talked about this on the podcast. I was like, yo, I was like, this is not going to stop. I said it's going to be tough to get this in order, but first off, we got to listen different, right? You got to pay attention. Because if you're talking

in the back, like everybody, you got to get people's undivided attention. You listen. They started listening and then we put the light out, and we was singing Born in the USA. Well, yeah, they pulled the power cord on him. We heard it go, ugh. Right. So now it's complete.

There's no amps. There's no lights. It's in the dark. And Don Ellis says, hey, if we're all quiet, then we can make this happen. And he has everybody turn on the flashlights on their cell phones, and now there's a little bit of light.

He says, okay, come on, focus, guys. Let's make it happen. He's got the bands playing the guitar, an electric guitar with no amp, and he's got them paying such close attention that you can actually hear the guitar with the fucking electric guitar no amp and then he

starts singing and it becomes this beautiful thing that I wasn't there for no I'm gonna tell you this is what I was gonna say I mean it was a moment and it felt like that was the moment to stamp it and I owe it all to your disrespect

think about it think about it, think about it, if you had respect for me right now, it would have never happened. The lights would have been on and everything, but the level of disrespect you showed me let the world have one of the best moments of the whole fucking pandemic.

Okay, so instead of him, instead of Steve-O now having to apologize to you, maybe you should tell him thank you? That's what I want to say. Thank you. Well, right on, man. Do you stand corrected, Donnell? What was that?

Do you stand corrected? No, no, no, no. No, no. We had a podcast, and we was trying to figure out phrases that white people never want to use, right? Okay. And one of them is, I stand corrected. Oh, yeah?

Yeah. Well, I always say I reserve the right to be misinformed. There you go. There you go, son. I got that one. Yeah. Yo, I love, that sounds like a motherfucker that's been in so much trouble. It's like programmed, like, okay, here we go, I hit him

with this. I'm wrong. It's all the way you articulate those words. That's what happened to me. It's so funny because when I was in the Air Force, I didn't tell you, I was in the Air Force and I was leaving, my first duty station was Kunsan,

Korea, right? And I was leaving. Like, when you're in the military, it applies to military and prison. Or anywhere where you're confined somewhere and you count down. In the military, we call it short-time calendar. Like, if you do a year remote, when it comes down to 30 days, you have a calendar that just looks like a puzzle or whatever. And you just color something out. It's like 99 days. I mean, like, 29th day, 28th.

It gets darker. You get short. The shorter you get, people excited. I'm leaving. You start talking shit to other short people. You know a motherfucker's like, how long you got left? Motherfucker be like, man, I'm short. I got two weeks left.

And then a motherfucker be like, man, I would kill myself if I had two weeks. I'm leaving in two days, right? It was just the thing. And then we get would be like, man, I would kill myself if I had two weeks. I'm leaving in two days, right? It was just the thing. And then we get down to zero. It's like, I'm out of here. I'm going to be in a freedom bird. I'm gone. I had a short time calendar.

I get down to day zero. I was out-processed of the base. I was supposed to go to Bowdoin Air Force Base. I go downtown, K-Town, Korea, for my last hoorah. They love me down here, right? And I got into a motherfucking fight. I got into a fight that night. And it's the same as jail, you said.

Yeah, I didn't get to jail yet, but I got into a fight. Now, I was a police officer. I used to work the main gate. And I had a Korean bitch over there. I mean, woman, queen, whatever. Yobo. They call her Yobo. Right?

There's a Yobo. It's like, and I was supposed to leave. And I was like, God, I got in this big fight. Stomped this motherfucker out and everything. And I go to her house at night. And I was like, I need to stay. How am I police hiding from the police? In the military. In the military. I'm like, yeah, I think I need I need to stay high. My police hide in front of the police. In the military. In the military.

I'm like, yeah, I think I need a place to stay at night, right? I said, I'm going to go tomorrow. She said, Iggy, Iggy, what happened? I thought you were going to stay inside. And I'm not being racist. That's just how she talked. I'm not making fun. Some people are like this. Oh, don't talk like that. That's how the bitch talk.

She said, Iggy, oh, what happened? So I go to the base the next day and my friends, they was. She say, hey, yeah, oh, what happened? So I'll go to the base the next day. And my friends, they was like, yo, D, I don't know what happened last night, but you got to get your shit together because you're not going home. I was like, fuck. Same time, Steve. Where I grew up, they having a welcome home party. The whole block.

They got fireworks and shit. I got jammed up and I had to stay another 30 days and I was like man this shit don't look good I was like how do you explain that you like kick the shit out of a motherfucker

and make it sound professional make it sound professional make it seem like he deserved it my first shirt, whatever he said, Aaron Rodgers, what happened? I said, sir,

because sir means like I'm showing you respect. I said, sir, it was a verbal confrontation which ended in a light of fray of punches. Repeat that for me. I'll do it.

Aaron Rodgers, sir. Sir, it was a verbal confrontation which ended in a light of fray or punches. Sir. A light of fray? A light of fray. A fray, that's just like, like, you know, a fray, motherfucker.

Like a multiple, like, a fray. It don't feel like, I was like, bitch, motherfucker, I'll kill you. It sounds like this is all an act of self-defense. Right. You know, it has more of a- How did you learn that? Who taught you that?

Your Korean woman? What? The light of fray of punches. No, I got that sentence from somebody. It might've been my brother. My brother's a lawyer now. I'm pretty sure I used to go to my brother for all big words. Yo, I'm telling you, the black House, everybody can't be the same thing.

It was me, my two younger brothers, right? And my brother went to Georgetown and Brown University. They called him the smart one. I was the dumb one by default. Right, and this is in D.C. This is in D.C., Alexandria. I grew up between Alexandrialexandra and dc then my other brother he was the uh he was the church one like everything is god with him

wow is that the gay winner oh that's the other one that's my father's side you know you got to mix them in so are you the younger i'm the. This is a crazy question, D-Won. I know it sounds crazy. I'm the oldest on my mother's side. Okay. Right? But I have maybe five or six brothers. I have maybe six other brothers on my father's side. Okay.

Man, that's crazy, dude. Do you have siblings, D-Won? Do you understand that? I mean, like, I'm understanding that you have half siblings. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, but they say, you ask a black person, how many brothers and sisters you got?

Well, on my mother's side, I got two. But on my father's side, man, we stopped counting in 97. He was popular. How does it feel? We talk about this in the podcast. How does it feel? Because in regards to the world of stand-up, you're fairly new to it, right? You say 10 or 11 years.

Well, I mean, I don't know that 11 years is new to anything. But what's notable and what really kind of gives it that feeling is that I was known for some other shit beforehand. Why you act like motherfuckers don't know what you were known for? You said that like they forgot. You was like, I was known for some other shit. Yeah, no, I mean, and hey, it's all good, man. When I was growing up, I was like, I other shit. And hey, it's all good, man. When I was growing up,

I was like, I'm going to tell you, I was like on black shit, street shit, Brooklyn shit. Everybody I knew, when they talked about y'all, this is what they said. Man, them white boys crazy as a motherfucker.

Yo, they put everything, anything. How does it feel to be the person that a motherfucker can look at and say, this little motherfucker don't give a fuck? I mean, that was the goal. You know, that was the goal. I wanted to be like, you know, man, I'm going to be fucking crazy. Like, I'm dropping out of college and then

what are you gonna do now you really fucked up here you know when you say you fucked up in college what do you mean by that well like within first within the first two weeks of class starting my freshman year i was like kicked out of my dorm i was placed on final disciplinary probation. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Yo, yo, yo, you did this. Asia did it, man. You said final. Like all the other ones. Right. But this is, yo, I'm going to tell you something.

I skipped them. I jumped the line. That's so funny. That's so funny you said that because. That's what they called it. When I got, when I decided to get out of the military, I didn't enlist for another four years. And it was, you said final discipline. Like they just kept giving me, putting shit in my shit.

Like they call it letter of reprimands. It's like they setting you up for the big one. Like they give you all these little ones and then they're going to hit you with the old motherfucker. Bam, give me a stripes type shit and that's what i made um that's what i made adjustments so it was you you was kicked out of school well i i was kicked out of the dorms i felt well i mean that was just because that's a very white question no i just want to know was it a jackass type thing well i mean i did end up getting

kicked out for some jackass type shit yeah but when i first got on final disciplinary probation i had this this roommate he was like a super serious like architecture student and he was like he had been doing all this work to pay his own way through college he's got like multiple jobs he's like really and then his fucking asshole i'm show up and i'm the roommate and i'm just just drinking all night and smoking out the fucking room with weed. And he's like, yo, I'm trying to fucking sleep because I forgot fucking school. And so he's like, get this fucking guy out of here. Here's his weed.

Here's his alcohol. Like, you know, they raided my room. And that's what I got in trouble for. Hold on. Did you snitch? I didn't snitch. Who snitched? The roommate.

The roommate snitched? He snitched, yeah. What's his name? I can't snitch. Who snitched? Oh, okay. The roommate. The roommate snitched? He snitched, yeah. What's his name? I can't even remember. Yo, you know who the fuck you are, you rat ass snitch motherfucker. Let me tell you something. Snitches get stitches. I don't give a fuck if a motherfucker run the light.

It don't mean nothing. He didn't snitch. You snitch bitch. Right. Give me a bomb, yo. Yo, Steve, just go. bitch bitch right give me a bomb yo but and then they just come on man that snitch ass bitch motherfucker right so they relocate me to this other dormitory and this other dormitory is a fucking 12-story building so you went from the hood you went up well i mean it was actually a

shittier fucking building, the 12 stories. I mean, this is just like fucking. Like the projects. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And now, like, I'm doing my stunt shit, okay? Okay, real quick. I do mean to cut you off. What were you going to school for?

I was trying to become an advertiser, a creative advertising type guy. I pictured myself making commercials. Being in them? I loved the video camera. I thought I'm going to make commercials. But it wasn't going good. And I'm like, you know what? I'm not going to make commercials. I'm going to fucking use my

home video camera and become a crazy ass stuntman. So I'm on the 12th floor balcony. And I figure out I'm climbing off. i'm on like the 12th floor balcony and i figure out i'm climbing off i'm hanging off the 12th floor balcony railing by my bare hands and fucking i dropped down onto the 11th floor and that was like one of my earliest stunts and i was so proud of it you jumped for wait a minute you went from one floor wait a minute you did it and you covered you and you videoed it yeah what'd you put it on? It's on YouTube. No, how did you, if you did this thing. Oh, back then, back then.

Like, I mean, fuck, I would like record back and forth on VCRs to edit. And I would just like keep people hostage in the living room and make them watch my videos. It was just like that. But the stairwell, this balcony, like the stairwell went up to the roof and i fucking broke out this window and climbed over onto the roof and then up on the roof of the 12 story building there was a radio tower that went up like hella fucking even higher and i'm all drunk and fucking like i smashed the window i'm climbing up the radar tower and these people on the ground are looking up at the you know like the radar tower is like

wobbling and shit and there's this asshole climbing up it and and so then they called the cops and they found me on the roof and they kicked me out they kicked me out certain things happen when it's a defining moment certain things happen when you know that's going to be your trajectory

and what you're going to do was it in that situation did you say did you say to yourself man i'm about to kill this i'm about to capitalize on that no it wasn't everybody who like it's like are you fucked up in school and what are you going to do now and i'm i told everybody i'm going to become a crazy famous stuntman with my home video camera and And every single person I said that to straight felt sorry for me. But you had admission, though. But it gets me that you woke up and you just said that one day? Or were you doing this in high school? I was making skateboarding videos in high school.

Now, what told me that I was on to something was that my half-ass bullshit skateboarding videos that I made in high school, I tried to show everybody, and everyone's like, oh, yeah, okay, like, great. You know, like nobody gave a fucking half of a fuck about my skate videos in high school. But then once I started, once I put in the tape and I'm showing them, I'm dangling off a fucking 12-story balcony by my bare hands, I noticed people reacting to that.

It had an impact on them. And I could tell in their reaction to this. I'm seeing people react to this footage. They're shocked. They're excited by it. And this is fucking, I'm onto something. They could be happy for it then, but a lot of times

people equate a level of success by the money of it. It wasn't the money. But when did you know, oh shit, there's some money. That was a long time

later, man. And the thing was, I had been fired from every single job that I ever had. I had been fired from every single job that I ever had. I had been fired from every denomination of numbers of days. Pizza delivery, I got fucking fired the first day.

I got fired from everything, bro. I got fired from everything. I've been fired from jobs on day one, on day two. Day one, wait a minute. The first day you got fired? I got fired on my first day. What did you do? Eat the pizza? The fucking pizza delivery. The house was around the corner. It was like a fucking half a block away.

It took me 45 minutes to get there. And that was probably at the same time, was it Domino's? Because you had the 30-minute commitment. Yo, it was car crashes for that 30 minutes, son. Yeah, no, they were like, dude, you're getting the fuck out of here. You know, I know you have the pizza world, but think about how smart they had to be for dominoes.

You like, we want to deliver pizza. Who don't deliver pizza? We all deliver pizza, but especially in situations you've been smoking weed or whatever. Yo, that was such a brilliant marketing idea to say, we will deliver the pizza 30 minutes or less or it's free.

I'm black. Listen, bro. We was cutting tires and shit. Hey, yo, my man at the red light, let me talk to you one second. We needed that pizza hot at 31. We didn't want it at 45. We wanted, bitch, show up 31 minutes,

bitch. We just got a whole goddamn pizza. Right. Yeah, man. And I couldn't keep a job. I couldn't keep a job to save my fucking life. I think it's something to be said about people that constantly, I think people that constantly lose their job are

supposed to do their own thing. Right. I never lost a job. But you're perfect. You hear when Darnell was so upset with me. You know what? I respect the fact that you gave me two versions of my name. Yo, you are respectful.

I'm sorry. That's all I'm saying. I was like, I accepted the Darnell. I accepted it like, he's white. As soon as we left this shop, I was like, that nigga called me Darnell one more time. Yo, he said Darnell. Darnell. Yo, I respect that.

Yeah, when Darnell was upset with me. You did it again. Nah, nah, nah. Soft art. Soft art. Oh, shit. Soft art. Yo, you're the first white person that admitted it.

Yo, it's like her and uh. You know, we're back. admitted it. Yo, it's like her and uh. Like her, oh my God. I hit her with some soft arms. And I didn't say sorry and I dropped the mic on his head. He was like, oh my God. Oh my God.

Yeah, well, when we were in Cancun, I did that thing, the format of that show. That thing, okay. The format of the show is you tell a story, and then you sing a karaoke song with the band playing the music. You know, for me, I picked Motley Crue, and the story I told was about how when I was 13 years old, I was a diehard Motley Crue fan.

They came to my town for their concert, and I called every fucking hotel in the Yellow Pages, asking for a room by the name of their manager sat there for hours on fucking end until they patched me through to a room and I'm talking to the brother of the manager of Motley Crue and that guy he says how did you get this number and I'm like dude I called every hotel in the yellow pages and he says are you serious that's fucking badass how would you like passes? So I was 13 years old when I met my heroes. And after that, I was cursed for every fucking bad report card.

Every time my dad was like, if you would just apply yourself, if you just show the motivation and the tenacity that you, when you applied yourself to meeting your heroes Motley Crue then like everything would be so easy but the problem is that if I'm not like super passionate about something oh I know and I know you're not super passionate about something when I'm not super passionate about something

I can't do it man like I can't right you can't fake it yeah I can't do it so delivering a pizza it's not your thing it's not my thing 30 minutes left you're gonna kill somebody I came to deliver a pizza. It's not your thing. It's not my thing. 30 minutes left, you're going to kill somebody. I would never get it there in 30 minutes, bitch. On the application.

So what time do you think you're going to get it there? On a scale of 1 to 30, where do you think your pizza's going to be there? And if you keep answering 27 to 28, don't fuck with that guy. Right. That's right, man. That's the funny thing about it. And you probably don't remember this, but before you disrespected me, I know we made up.

Before you disrespected me, right, you was telling me a story and the excitement. This motherfucker tell you the story, right? You know, if Z-Bo's telling you the story, you waiting for it to be some crazy shit. You know, like if youBo's telling you a story, you waiting for it to be some crazy shit. You know, like if you ever told a motherfucker about your Starbucks order, I would fucking lose respect for you.

Right. Right. And he was telling me this story because it was a part of his special, I think. And you said, yo, you was excited. This is what you were excited about. He said, I fucking jump out of an airplane. Right. His stories, they just keep going on and on.

He said, I jump out of an airplane, and you're looking like, for a black person, you're already extra white for even doing that. He's like, soft R's or whatever. He's like, so I jump off the airplane. Steve, you owe me that. I'm butt-ass naked. I'm like, okay. did it just i thought that was end of it i'm out of an airplane but i'm naked it kept going on but that's naked i'm jerking off

yeah he look him in no wait a minute there's one thing to tell a man a jerk all story was nothing looking right in his eyes that was the level of disrespect he's looking at me in his eyes. That was the level of disrespect. He's looking at me in my eyes and looking at me like, if you blink, you're going to miss something. Literally, and figuratively speaking, right? So he's like this,

and I'm jerking off. And I got a guy strapped on my back, you know, like tandem, right? And I'm butt-ass naked. This guy's wearing nothing but a Speedo, and he's strapped to my back While I'm Furiously masturbating

Furiously In an airplane Full of dudes And it's a small ass airplane And it's full And it's full of fucking dudes And every one of them Is pointing a camera

Right at me But you're like I'm gonna be the best Stop it It's not over The story Is not over Oh my god

Yeah I mean dude Like this is There's an ending Against all odds I'll be ending He says I'm doing this The story is not over. Oh, my God. Yeah. I mean, dude, like, this is against our laws. I'll be ending. He says, I'm doing this. I'm like, just, okay, I'm a hater. I'm like, I could probably jerk off out of a plane, too.

But without having the energy, he said, and I blow. Well, yeah. Alone. That was the whole point, was that I had to time it so that I'm ejaculating as I'm evacuating the plane. I'm fucking... But where does it land? Well, I fucking did. Like, I got my dick out in the wind, right?

My dick's out in the wind. Not a drop fucking landed in the plane. And I shoot the load, but my dick's out in the wind. The plane's flying, so the wind... I just want to go... The wind just blasts this load. And we had a

slow motion we had a slow motion camera mounted mounted on the outside of the fucking plane the slow motion camera and the load just gets blasted kapow right into it yeah

it was the single greatest success of my fucking entire career. And I cornered Donnell. And you tell me that story. I cornered him. I had him cornered. He couldn't get away. I was fucking maintaining eye contact.

And then this was, it was important to me that he know how serious I take my comedy. How serious you take your Jackie Pock? I mean, yeah. No, I was saying to myself, I done some some interesting things in my lifetime right but with anything you want to know what is your focus and i'm saying to myself i need to know how can you focus on all of that correct at one time the guy is in the back the guy on your back yeah on your back what were you thinking about while you were doing this?

Well, I brought a fucking portable DVD player. This is the day? This is the clip where I Oh, and the dog is licking your penis. The dog is licking his penis. The dog is licking his penis.

The Peru dog? Yeah, the Peru dog. Okay, so now I'm watching a porno, you see? Yeah, the Peru dog. Oh, winky. Okay, so now, so I'm watching a porno, you see, I get the porno right here, my feet are curling. Oh, you got a fluffer. I'm curling the toes.

Okay, now I give the sign, and I get my dick out in the wind, you see, boom, it's coming out in the wind, and blah! And then, and then, and then look at the time,

it's picture perfect. Blah! I'm still cranking out. Oh my God. I'm cranking out the rest. I'm falling through the sky, and then and then and then look at the time it's picture perfect blah I'm still cranking out I'm cranking out the rest I'm falling through this guy cranking out the rest finishing off the job can I just say though

this one this one was this was purely fucking by accident right but like i'm coming up with with with i'm thinking like with my comedy and then like i want to have now you're jerking off in here you're still thinking comedy well well in my with my comedy in general i want to have funny bits but that i also want to have video components to them. So I came up with this bit where I said, you know, it strikes me that because women, you see them, they paint their boobs,

and they're walking around outside, nobody's upset. They're fucking, women paint their boobs and they walk around like it's no big deal. And then I've been wondering why you look, go ahead. I'm like, so women can- You're getting mad, you're like, bitch, come on, go ahead. So women can paint their titties and it's no big deal. And then I be wondering why you look good. And I'm like, it's a woman. And then I get mad and be like, bitch, come on. Go ahead.

So women can paint their titties and it's no big deal. So I decided it is my right to paint my dick. It's art. Yeah, I better paint my dick. Right, so I got this. So wait a minute, wait a minute. So I got this. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I tell you.

That's what I said. I was like, that's why it was black. I ain't telling you. That's what I said. I was like, that's why it was black. It wasn't actually black. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. And I'm like, okay, hold on. Time out. No, you said, yo, he has a black dick.

Not big or nothing. You meant like. All right, sure. Latoya was like, did she all over you like this? Really? I like Steve-O, but I ain't know... All right, we don't have to rewind it.

That's very interesting. Yeah, I noticed that part. It's a different deal. So I put together this hardcore cyclist suit, okay? Like, this cyclist, I'm thinking to myself, I'm gonna paint my dick

and I'm gonna go around and it's gonna be a funny bit. That's so fucking funny bit. So how am I gonna paint my dick so I'm going to go around and that's going to be a funny bit. So how am I going to paint my dick so I can go around and like, maybe like people don't still notice it. The first look, you know, it's the first look.

So they go, they go, they not go first notice. You're white. I don't know if you know. You're white. Right. White.

Right. So your body, your white body is like, Oh, so it's like you walk around with the blur sign on your side no no

so I put so I'm thinking to myself okay if I'm gonna paint like if I paint myself maybe it won't be so noticed

like what's like tight clothing I think spandex okay so spandex and then I think who wears spandex and I think okay bicycle

fuck people so I get my bicycle my 10 speed bicycle and I get like the bicycle shirt with get um like uh the bicycle shirt with the fucking the helmet the whole fucking kit but we just paint on the shorts right and and the bike kit i had was was black and blue right this blue shirt so my girl my girl's art department you know i get fucking a big gallon of black paint she fucking paints on my shorts

she said i'm getting ready to go crash this bike in front of strangers on the sidewalk so they I get a big gallon of black paint. She fucking paints on my shorts. I'm getting ready to go crash this bike in front of strangers on the sidewalk. So they reach their hand out to help me up. They reach their hand out and I've got my schlong fucking right there. It's hilarious. But she gets done doing me all up and takes this photo of me hoisting up the bicycle, right? Right here. This is the black dick. And so I text that photo to Johnny Knoxville,

and he says, that's the smallest black dick I've ever seen. And I walked right into that. I had no fucking, it wasn't like, oh, I'm going to fucking paint my dick black. I'm going to go in black dick. Not black face. I'm going in black. Is that racist?

No, it's not racist. You said it too. You said it like this. Here's a black dick. All the women like, really? You about to get so much likes on your shit. Yo, Steve-O has black cock. It's going to be a whole new fan base. I play for the Chicago Black Cox.

Who started the Cox stuff? I was just noticing what I saw. Young Steve-O. Young Steve-O. Older Steve-O. When you were younger. And everything that we talk about, it's been out there. Everybody knows your situation with drugs.

And when you was out there. Sure. This may be a crazy question. Who did you have the most fun at? Younger Steve-O or Steve-O? Man, where? You know, Ed, man, it's a really fucking good question, man. Because I'm not going to go and say that I didn't have a fucking boatload of fun

getting all fucked up on cocaine and all the rest of it. And, like, I was – there was a point I was doing drugs where, like, I'm watching people walk around who just weren't even fucking there to begin with because I'm so out of my mind on drugs, I'm hallucinating. One time I hallucinated a fucking full-on intervention where people just filed in if they all filed in i watched i watched them all walk in and sit down and say hey we got to fucking talk to you and then i've come to realize that they had never been there and like at all to begin with and that's like one of my most fond memories like i love conscious talking to you yeah for sure for sure but like but you

know and it turned bad and and and i'm so grateful for my sobriety now like i'll do anything to protect my sobriety and and i mean that like um sobriety is not less fun it's just my life is different now you know i'm fulfilled by different things i think that if if i heard your question correctly or the way i interpreted it no when you're saying you're not here you're not apologizing I'm fulfilled by different things. I think that if I heard your question correctly, or the way I interpreted it. No, when you're saying you're not here, you're not apologizing. You're not apologizing.

I'm not apologizing. You know what I'm saying? And we all have a situation. There's some people who are sober, like clean and sober, you know, people in recovery. And they'll say, man, my worst day sober is better than my best day when I was loaded. And I'm like, I roll my eyes and I say, fuck that. Yo, yo, yo.

Shut the fuck up. You ever had somebody do a live cocaine off your dick, nigga? Shut the fuck up. You didn't party with me. That's what I'm saying. Some people, they could look at it as, okay, what was I doing my life then? But some people could be like, yo, that was my life then. I'm not apologizing for it.

I had a good, I had a, well, this is what we say in the streets. I had a good run. Yeah, sure, man. But then it comes to a point where you. It turned bad. Like the drugs and alcohol, they turned on me. And it was time to address it. And I'm super grateful that I did.

And, you know, like there's, there's a couple of things and, and, and there are kind of like at odds with each other. It's like, it's like a paradox here, but the reality of my, of my career as, you know, Steve-O is, is crazy that like I started out, it's bad deals, you know, like you see, you see you got to pay your dues you know you weren't getting a lot of money from basic cable but like over the course of my career and it's over 20 years into it now like i'm still on an upward trajectory like over like as as it as it relates to like like financial like income you know i'm like i'm i'm earning more now than i ever had before like i'm still on my way up and that's crazy i don't want to just draw these similarities like i'm on your

dick but it does a lot of things that i think are parallel with you and i yeah and when i say that and it's so when you really explain to people they think you're being cocky i've been doing 27 years right yeah and i say every year i get better. And I'm talking about getting better not off of a whack year. I'm talking about every year was fire. Like me at 15 years, I was a beast. At 20, I was a beast. And with that said, every year I get better. Like there's no... Always grow.

It's always something to grow. I mean, it follows that the longer you spend doing something, the better you get at it. That's why I fuck good. Yeah. The more you accomplish, the more accomplishments you have, the more you get at it. That's why I fuck good. The more you accomplish, the more accomplishments you have, the more you have to build on. I listen to your black dick part.

I say that I fuck good, son. Let me get a bomb. Can we get a bomb? Oh, he's hating on me. There's this incredible gratitude and pride and satisfaction in the fact that I've been able to be on an upward trajectory. However, if I interpret your question the way that I heard it, it is when were you the most happy? When was I the happiest? happiest and i gotta believe i have this theory that anybody who has achieved like like substantial

financial success was actually happier before yeah i've said all the time son yeah when you get there right when you get there it's whatever and i'm telling you i've hung out with some very influential people some very rich people some billionaires and then when you're on the outside of your view of those, of not true people, your excitement's like, oh, shit. And the question you want to ask is like, how does it feel? And every one of them, they're making their business to say, it wasn't

always like this. They make their business to say that well, and the part of it they get more excited about is the come up. I say it all the time. I remember with Tracy Morgan, when he was bubbling, I remember part of it they get more excited about is to come up yeah i said all the time i remember when tracy morgan when he was bubbling i remember us fucking uh in a toyota he'll remember burgundy toyota corolla fucking um mufflers tied up with a coat hanger the heat don't work windshield is fucked

up but we driving to go get two hundred dollars and and dude i genuinely believe that before I accomplished anything before I earned anything that I really believed that I was technically happier then let me say this nigga I tell motherfuckers people always that's why Don L doesn't pay me he uses that same excuse

you know what timing is obviously you don't obviously you have no idea I know and I mean like especially the whole show you were thinking of when can I say something whack this is the perfect time but I'm just letting you know

you let us do this and just push the buttons right now as they told LeBron to play basketball and this is what I'm saying. What was I saying? You're not losing my thought. What was I saying?

Yeah, you were saying about the hustle. Yeah, about how to be happier before you made it. Yeah, everybody, like, the thing that you appreciate the most is hustle. And I tell people, okay, Donnell, what do I need to do? If I'm going to do this, I say, you have to be able to be happy being broke. If you can be happy being broke, this business will be a piece of cake. Let me tell you this saying I heard that fucked me up when I heard it. It pierced right through me and it fucking even scared the shit out of me.

Before you even say something scared you, I want to hear it. I'm like this. Okay. me for you to even say something scared you i want to hear it i'm like this okay uh the man who has nothing doesn't have to worry about shit except his next meal but the man who has everything has to worry about his last meal that fucks me up because like when i had nothing like i i i was just in the present you know i'm like oh what's going on now but like once you once you start socking away some millions of dollars then like you're fine now so now you're like oh well fuck like how long is this gonna last me oh

shit like you know it's people who people who have more than like $10 million, like are the people who feel the most financially insecure. Because the overhead grows now and now you have more people to take care of. You have more of everything, the more money, the more problems. Like I had a fucking session with the therapist not long ago and I said, hey, you know, like, I'm really pretty fucking killing it lately. I just made the leap from comedy clubs into theaters. And so I'm like,

it's like, you know, the shift, you know, I just, I just graduated. People don't know that level. People don't,

they don't get it. Like, the best thing that you say is, I'm in these comedy clubs. I got to be here four days. Yeah. Then I got to win.

I got to do press. And you just want, you know, the next next level is like I want to be able to get that in one fucking right right and and and fucking where the comedy club ends is a long way before where the theater tour begins there's this big fucking

ocean and and to jump that like to make it from comedy clubs to theaters was it was gnarly big deal and I just made that leap and I got the podcast and the podcast fucking who knew that that shit was like lucrative you know like I didn't

I didn't know Joe Rogan and the white boys be keeping it a secret but they've been talking to me about everything but that fucking ant space spins and all that type of shit. And so I tell the therapist, I say, you know, I'm fucking killing it, man. I'm just like, I can't even believe I've achieved this success recently. And I genuinely believe what's scaring me is that I think that as I'm becoming more successful,

I think I can see, because it's happening pretty quick recently, believe like what's scaring me is that i think that as i'm becoming more successful i think i'm i think i can see because it's happening pretty quick recently and i feel like it's been so many years i put it in understood understood but but as in this like sort of spurt of of uh higher like level of success i feel like oh my god i feel like i i'm watching it happen i'm feeling it happen i've become more successful. I think I'm scared that I'm actually becoming less happy. And at the same time, you know what,

bro? You know what? I feel you on that because what they say, be careful for what you wish for. I mean, yeah, you get close to it. I'm like,

no, this shit is too. Yo, I'll be like this. I know this is crazy. I'm like, no, this shit is too good. Oh,'ll be like this. I know this is crazy. I'm like, no, this shit is too good.

Oh, they about to RIP me. I'm like, something about to happen. Niggas gonna have my picture on every... I don't want the RIP library, but I was like, it's too good. But then, I think you cheat yourself out of it, because when you start thinking about that,

then you take yourself away from having a good time, we're supposed to just come to the end with it. And I think that where I came out of it, like where my takeaway, like my sort of final thought on it was, I'm glad that I had that thought so that I could like

consciously and deliberately say, yo, fuck that. Read The Big Leap. Okay. No, like it's a quick one day read. And it's a guy that works with billionaires and stuff. But we all have, everyone has that. Not that I'm a billionaire. I ain't saying that.

But we all have that as you're coming to like success. And you're building something. You're becoming, you're reading your, or sorry, meeting your creative, you know, climax or whatever we want to call it. And it's people like us, it's always the hustle. And now we're here. What's after this? For sure. And I just finished my second book.

I just turned my second book, the original manuscript, into the publisher. And I waited until the last chapter. The last chapter, the last chapter was you know it starts quote are you happy question and i'm like that question always fucked me up dude it always fucked me up because like it's it's not like socially acceptable to say no i'm not fucking happy you know like but it's like and you're like oh yeah but like it always just made me uncomfortable because when someone asked me, are you happy? I'm, like, thinking to myself, well, I'm scanning my, like, no, I'm anxious.

But not only that, but if they answer what you're going to do about it. Right. What you're going to do about it, bitch? Are you happy? No. Okay, talk to you later. Right, right, right, right. And exactly.

But then, and then I let the chapter, like, fucking run, and then I come back, and it's, like, basically the end. And I'm, like, okay, so now let me address this question. Am I happy? No, I'm not fucking happy. Like I'm never, I like, I got a, like I've got a built in like fucking default setting where like I just have this core belief, like everything's not fucking okay. If it's okay now, shit, it's not going to be okay. Like fucking, I got a fucking frame.

I got a, I'm uncomfortable. I'm, I'm scared. Everything's not going to be okay. I got to hurry up and I got to fucking hustle and I got to work to try to make it so that everything will be okay. I'm glad I'm not alone. No, you're not.

No, I'm not either. But at some point, even with that said, Steve, at some point we have to settle in the fact with like, just, okay. Like, are you, like, the happiness is a tough question. Right. You know, like, what are we searching for can we be happy with this can simple shit i understood understood and the thing is the way

i interpret it i say you know what like it's a bummer like what i'm saying is sounds like fucking tragic and sad and like but the reality is like i like i equate like let's say i was happy let's say i really felt content, comfortable and happy. Like to me, that just sounds like fucking lazy. You know, that sounds like fucking lazy. Right. That sounds like lazy. And, and, and my honest, true belief, even if it's an unhealthy belief, even if it's an unhealthy way to live, that if I had a choice between being content and like, or dude, 10 out of 10 times i'm gonna choose the hustle i i choose to be uncomfortable anxious twisted up and hustling because it's normal yeah a lot of like

i guess as you get older you start realizing i've noticed you get older you start realizing a lot of motherfuckers are leaving us right yeah um and it's so and i know that it like hit the comedy real hard i don't know what your relationship was with him or what part of what he meant to your life but um finding out that bob saget wasn't with us anymore how did that make you feel i didn't ever uh have any interactions with bob i've never heard anything but but beautiful wonderful things about him you know so like so i it's not my personal experience but but it's my understanding that he was just a fucking wonderful generous great person and and like i'm just just an angel in the world of comedy. And I know that he fucking performed, like, less than 24 hours before he died.

And his tweets, he was great. And he was like, he's just expressing gratitude. And I don't have the personal relationship or anything like that, but I did when we were doing the summer shows in Yellow Springs, Ohio. And he would come out there like when nobody was telling jokes. And I know like he was staying to himself like everybody was.

And I remember the excitement he had just being around people again. Yeah. Like he was like being around people and not just being around but, like, being around people that was breaking bread. Just having regular conversations. Just, like, chumming it up. And, like, when I, the stories I know of him, you never hear a bad thing. I think so. I didn't lose a friend.

You know what I'm saying? America lost a father. Yeah, a father figure for many people. America lost somebody that just made you feel good, which in itself is a test. You know how fucking stressful it is to, your responsibility is bringing happiness to somebody? But let's be realistic too, man.

The guy performed like that fucking night, that night or the night wasn't that night. See, this is what I'm talking about. I know, like, I really feel like I saw the transition from when everybody, Johnster, everybody came out there, had performed for a while, for now performing for a while, to seeing how his peers perform, the level.

And I saw him go back into the Batcave. I saw him doing pop-ups at the store. I saw him just fucking allow, like, he bumped me one night. Yes, he bumped me one night. I didn't give a, he wasn't disrespectful the way you did it. It was a hard art.

No, he was a strong one. He called you darn. He was like, darn. Yeah. Like, me seeing he called you darn he was like darn yeah like me seeing him me seeing him get back into the groove

and just seeing him get excited about doing stand up and even if you follow his story and his line you can just tell somebody was

was so connected with something going back to it and just feeling good about it sure and and and what's what's even like to me is so striking you know like i i get my news from tmz it's a reliable news source they call me yeah and uh dude like you can really get a sense of how much cultural significance a person had in their life by how many different stories.

And dude, Bob Saget, man. I know about this story. It's interesting because I knew about this story before it broke. Right? And I was saying to myself

with some people, it's an organization, I'm on blow, they call me I'm like, what the fuck y'all calling me for? Right? And I knew about the story and then, I don't know if you understand the feeling of knowing something and knowing within minutes it's going to be the biggest

I was just watching my phone I kept refreshing the browser. You know, I was like, fuck, fuck. And then it hit. Right, but it's got to feel good to know that. He was doing what he loved. He was doing what he loved. He didn't suffer.

I tell people all the time. I mean, dude, he went out like the best way he could go out. He was ready to go out again. His tweet that night. Yeah. And there was no like, fuck it. I mean, like, dude, Robin Williams, man. Like, that bums me out because it's like, okay, so now Robin Williams, his legacy is

like, oh, he fucking like kind of bitched out. He took his own life. And Bob Saget's legacy, his memory is not tainted by any weird fucking drugs. Oh, boy, it's coming out. It's his own life. And Bob Saget's legacy, his memory is not tainted by any weird fucking drugs. Oh, it's coming out. It's coming out now. All those yo, what? What? A bitch gotta make a coin. Listen,

I know, I got drugs. You're about to trump your show right now. No, I'm just saying, oh, I'm ready. Bitches ain't gonna eat off of me right now. But when I die, all the stories they're going to share, oh, they coming out. You're going to hear it. I know.

No disrespect. It's going to be stories like the Bob you never knew about. All right. And you'll be happy as shit. All right. You'll probably be happy. I'm not going to say anything bad. I think the most important thing,

and when I hear about the tragic passing of someone it's upsetting to me for a second but it also tells me that yo you better live harder you better live your you better live your life i've said something you gotta live your dash everybody i've said it before probably sound repetitious but you got the beginning you got the end, you got the end. And it's what the fuck do you do in the middle of it? Right. And this, I think, is going to really come full circle because when I was talking about I fucking fucked up in college, I couldn't keep a job, I believed that I was on to something

with my video camera. I did believe that. And I also didn't think that I was going to necessarily fucking my video camera. I did believe that. And I also didn't think that I was going to necessarily fucking become hugely successful, you know, because- You were my favorite one in the whole crew, by the way.

There was no precedent for when I was doing this. Everyone felt bad for me. And like my future didn't look that bright because I couldn't keep a job and I couldn't fucking- There's a reason for it, though.

It was destined. So I genuinely believed that I was going to fail at life and die young and that's what I was really doing with the video camera because it all came from the question when did it occur to you that there was going to be money in it and I didn't ever think I was going to

see money for it I didn't ever think I didn't think there was ever going to be I thought I was going to fucking fail at life and die really young and I was trying to frantically fucking haul ass and load up my message in the bottle, which was like film as much crazy shit with my video camera so that when I was dead, that that video would have the chance of outliving me so that once I'm dead now, like I'm not actually dead because I'm still fucking having that impact on people. When I see my stuff that I found my,

that it was my religion in the video camera. This was like, this was how it was going to be death. And dude, I got to tell you that there's a fucking comedy bit that I was working on and it, and I would try it and it fucking bombed. And I'm,

and it's like my mission in life, you know, to get this bit to work, but, but it's about the human experience. And, and in life, you know, to get this bit to work. But it's about the human experience. And I'll tell you something, this is how the bit goes. Like, I've got an unpopular theory. I think fucking God hates us. Human beings hate us.

So that's jarring. It's like, where the fuck? Okay, well, now let's look at this. We only have one instinct, which is to survive, and one guarantee, we won't. So what the fuck is that? You know, the one fucking thing that we know we don't want to have happen

is the only thing that we can count on. Like, that's some fucking cruel-ass Catch-22 shit, and on top of that, the other layer of it is that we're the only living organism that can hypothetically objectively outside of the present think of a time where we where we know it's coming where we know it's coming so like any other living being can't like hypothetically fear death only us and that's a fucking motherfucker and on top of that as we barrel towards this inevitable fucking fail, we got to deal with the fact that we're wilting, you know, like a banana's not looking in the mirror saying, damn, this fucking bruises are a bad look.

You said you're working as a bitch. You don't got to work as a bitch. You just tell a story just like it is. I mean, there's. Yeah, that's just like. He said he bombed though already with it. I mean, I don't know. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

It ain't bomb. It ain't bomb. I mean, it's right.. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It ain't bombed. It ain't bombed. I mean, it's great. You know, if you're looking for a punchline, it ain't going to be there. I look at it like, that's a transition. Right, right, right, right, right, right. That's a transition. It's honest.

It's real. Right. Like, the tour I'm on right now is the Bucket List tour. And like I said, man, I worked on the comedy, and then I brought all my worlds together where I had this, like, this fucking list of stunts that was just so fucked up. And I'm like, dude, if I'm going to do them, I got to hurry up because I'm getting old enough. It's going to be creepy to watch me do them. So I'm going to hurry up.

Yeah, it is real creepy to watch you do them. Yeah. And so I made this hour. I made this hour out of these stunts. What were the stunts? There were too much to go for. They were just too far. And I did them all. I made this hour out of these stunts that were out. What were the stunts that were too much to go for? They were just too far. And I did them all.

I made the hour out of it. And after each bit in my live show, I screened the footage of that shit happening. So it's this multimedia show. You was trying to explain it. When you was telling me about it, even though it ended with you coming in a dude's face, I saw the fucking passion, man.

I want to say this is really my first interview where I really talked to like a celebrity like really have a good conversation didn't know how I was going to go especially when our relationship started off with a level of disrespect you know what I'm saying

I did not know that I could talk to a person that knows a hard R and a hard A but okay I'm gonna i gotta leave right now i understand that and the point of the whole thing is is that we're gonna be happy are we gonna like fuck you know the whole thing and like i believe that it is a major fuck up a bad thing that in our fucking Western civilization, our American society, nobody wants to fucking think about their own mortality. Like old people are a party foul, fucking stash

them away in a nursing home. I don't want to see them. People don't know what the definition of the word hospice is because they don't want to think about it. And that's a disservice that they're doing to themselves. The way to fucking approach life is to be to be very clued in i was i was the lucky one because i thought i was gonna die and i was thinking about when i was in my 20s when i was in my 20s i was trying to haul ass to hurry up to get done what i wanted to be proud of fucking after i was dead and that's what i think more people need to do and i I think that the most important thing, and I think we're saying the same thing, we're all going to die. Live your motherfucking life.

Can I get a bomb? He's out. Yeah, man. Thank you, Don Elm. Oh, that was solid, son. That was good. That was good. That was so fucking solid.

That was so solid. That was solid as a motherfucker.
