Now, I'm going to say this, because the person that we have today, I'm proud to say is one of my favorite comedians. I would say all the time, I would say, you know, one of my favorite white comedians, and that's not right, because I don't say one of my favorite, Eddie Murphy's one of my favorite black comedians, so this is one of my favorite comedians. I'm, pause, I'm so into this dude that this morning when I woke up. That you had to pause.
Starting point is 00:02:54 I said, I woke up, I woke up, and my wife said, I was so, I was like, I got Brett, and she was like, who? And you know, I don't know how to pronounce your last name. It's like, it's like, where's just the sauce? No one wants to say that. No one wants to pronounce that.
Starting point is 00:03:09 No one wants to say that. So, this is how I knew. I go, one of my favorite comedians. And she goes, who, the white guy with no shirt? And what I tell you, man, I watch all of his specials. I watch everything about this man. I follow him on Instagram. He's hands down one of the funniest people on the planet.
Starting point is 00:03:29 He's hands down my spirit drinking animal. He said a speech one day, and that's how I know all of our friends are alcoholics. Because we campaigned that speech as if it was Phil Jackson looking at Michael Jordan at fourth quarter and we all lived by this speech. So in case you don't know who the fuck I'm talking about, we're talking about the one,
Starting point is 00:03:51 the only, Brent Crischer! And now I'm ready to drink. Okay, so listen, let me just say before you start. Jamie, can you bring that? I wanted to do something special. I know they told you vodka club, soda, vodka and club that? I wanted to do something special. I know they told you vodka and club,
Starting point is 00:04:07 but I wanted to bring and drink with you. I've been holding this bottle of Pappy Van Winkle. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. I've been saying this.
Starting point is 00:04:23 It's too early to take my fucking shirt off. I've been waiting to drink this. And so, I got to FaceTime my fucking dad. This is insane. Dude, dude. By the way, that's the reaction. That's what you've been holding it for. I've been holding it.
Starting point is 00:04:42 I've been singing to some of my friends. And they've been like, what is that? And I'm trying to explain to them what it is. But I don't, do you know about Pappy V? Oh, yeah. My dad, this is his whiskey. He had a friend who had some and brought him over, and he had some.
Starting point is 00:04:56 My dad talks about this whiskey non-fucking-stop. It's hard to get. It's hard to find. It's expensive as shit. Yep. Dude. Goddamn. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Thank you. Yeah. I'm going to do a glass. I'm going to do a glass. I'm going to find. It's expensive as shit. God damn it! I'm going to do a glass. I'm going to do a glass immediately. No ice. Straight up. I was wondering what I was going to drink. When I watch you guys, sometimes I'm like, are they taking shots of champagne? I was like, I don't know. Champagne gets me gassy.
Starting point is 00:05:21 I was like, I really want to drink whiskey. I'm going to sound so fucking out of touch if they're like, what do you want? Because I love Jack Daniels. No, Jack Daniels. We know that shit drink. Dude, I walked on the plane yesterday, and the two dude flight attendants were sitting there, and they had the biggest shit-eating grins on their face. And they looked at me, and they go, double Jack on the rocks, lots of rocks.
Starting point is 00:05:40 As I stepped on the fucking plane. And then they got me in the cockpit. I was fucking hammered. He's like, I was driving the plane. So let me ask you, because that's like, I got 20 things that I go to if I ever like feeling down or whatever and you have two of them.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Others are 20. The one is the motivational speech. When you say, I'm going to take care of myself just enough so I could. Wow. Can you explain that to people who just seeing that footage
Starting point is 00:06:06 yeah so I have this theory I'm very punitive so um like I wake up if I'm hungover I feel like I deserve to punish myself a little bit so that I can right the boat like this morning I was bad I was bad this morning I drank all day in Miami yesterday and then woke up this morning sweating I got scared like you ever wake up I mean I just got scared? What did you do last day? No, just scared. I don't want to be alone right now. I was like, all right, get up. Go to get on the treadmill and then bust out. I try
Starting point is 00:06:36 to put in four miles on the treadmill every day. I have a personal trainer. I shoot gear. I'm on steroids. We should talk about that. We should. I was on steroids. So we should talk about that. We should talk about that. We should. Said no one ever.
Starting point is 00:06:47 I was thinking about you today. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Okay. It's really good for your... My cardiologist got me on it. The steroid. It's a specific kind of steroid.
Starting point is 00:06:57 No, it's testosterone. Oh, it's like the regular workout shit? Yeah, dude. My dick's hard nonstop. I'm being serious. Those velour tracksuits, I can't wear them on planes. I wake up with a rock. My dick's hard like when we were kids.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Do you remember when we were kids and our dicks got hard all the time? You're like, I'm at my grandma's fucking funeral. My dick is hard. My lobes aren't that good. They used to be better, but who cares? I'm shooting blanks into a fucking lady on menopause. Happy Mother's Day. By the way, I'm going to just be honest with you.
Starting point is 00:07:32 I've drank a bottle of 10. I've drank a bottle of 10. I've drank a bottle... Yeah, I think I've only drank a whole bottle of 10. I've never drank a bottle of 15. It's my first time. And I'm going to try to finish the whole bottle with you. Oh, it's serious. Look at that. That hater's trying to make the whole bottle with you. Oh, it's serious. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:07:45 That hater's trying to make it. Oh, you see that? That hater. Ooh. It's good? Ooh. If Dick did it like this, I'd have bruised knees. There go the rest of the advertisers.
Starting point is 00:07:58 But let's talk about that. So I work out. So I have this feeling, feeling like if you let the dirty stuff stay inside you if you don't sweat it out or burn it out then it builds up and when it builds up that's when you start getting sick so like i just work out hard every day so i can party at night and what if i really push it and like if i have like a full day like sauna polar plunge uh hour hour and a half workout lifting weights dude i i, I get through a day great. I get up at six in the morning, I work out. And then I love the sparkle that alcohol gives you.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Like, I just love it. I love the feeling when like, I had a secret the other day. And I told my wife, I said, I got a good fucking secret. She goes, like, open a bottle of wine. And then you're like, yeah, open a bottle of wine. And then you get blankets. You go out to the fire pit outside. You bring the dogs out. And like, open a bottle of wine. And then you're like, yeah, open a bottle of wine. And then you get blankets and you go out to the fire pit outside and you bring the dogs out. And then you pour a glass of wine and you're like, alright, what's the secret? Like, that energy, I just
Starting point is 00:08:51 fucking love it. And so, I like this. I love this. I've been waiting for this drink all fucking day. And so, I never want to get rid of, I never want to be irresponsible enough that I can't do it. Because I've watched that happen to people. And you're like, fuck, you fucked it up. Like, you I've watched that happen to people and you're like fuck you fucked it up like you could especially ever talk to dudes who got sober
Starting point is 00:09:08 at like 16 and you're like oh you never even got to have margaritas like you never got the fun stuff you got sober on Cisco and bottles and jams you never had a rosey phase come on yeah I love that I love that feeling and so I try to stay healthy
Starting point is 00:09:24 enough and like do enough good stuff so that I can keep drinking. Because I love it. I do love it. But never a health scare at all? No. Never? No, when you say that, knock on fucking wood. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:09:34 By the way, you are the drinking god. I'm just being honest. Me following you on Instagram has probably been the best thing I've ever did. I love following you on Instagram. And I love your show, The Cabin Show. What is it? Oh, yeah, yeah, on Netflix. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:50 It's funny, like, you know, Snoop's hard to get a hold of. Right. He's got, like, four phones. Yes. He only, I don't know, he never has one. His assistant got an assistant. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so we were doing Two Bears, One Cave one time,
Starting point is 00:10:02 and I was like, let's see if we can get a hold of Snoop, see if he wants to go fishing with us. So I called him, and he answered. He didn't say anything. And I was like, Snoop? Snoop Dogg? Snoop Doggy Dogg? Calvin?
Starting point is 00:10:18 And then all of a sudden he goes, who's this? And I went, it's Bert. And he goes, you're a bad motherfucker, Bert Kreischer. He goes, I just binge watched The Cabin. Wow. And I was like, shit, it was an accident, man.
Starting point is 00:10:28 I know I'm not supposed to talk like this, because, you know. What was the accident? The cabin? The whole fucking thing was an accident. During the pandemic?
Starting point is 00:10:34 No, no, yeah. So we sold a show to Netflix that was scripted. So it was scripted. Right. It's a series that was in Canada that this Canadian dude did, a French-speaking series.
Starting point is 00:10:44 And it was scripted. And so we were going to write scripts and cast it, but all of a sudden, It's a series that was in Canada that this Canadian dude did, a French-speaking series. And it was scripted. And so we were going to write scripts and cast it. But all of a sudden, pandemic starts showing up. And we can't get a cast. We're trying to get a cast before Christmas. We can't lock down a cast. And then all of a sudden, we're ready to start shooting.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Pandemic's starting to kick in. And we're like, fuck it. Let's just figure it out. And we just played it by ear, and we just tried to make each other laugh. And that was the, I mean, we said, the very first show, it was me and Tom processing an emu
Starting point is 00:11:16 with a chainsaw. And we were looking at each other going, are we going to get in trouble? Like, this is like, because I'm oblivious to cancel culture, and culture. I just say things and then I lay in bed and go, what the fuck's wrong? We had a scene with Donald Rollins and Bobby Lee.
Starting point is 00:11:33 You're taking my interview. That is my next question. By the way, that was the funniest shit I've ever laughed in my fucking life. Donald was offended at first. You could tell that you didn't tell him. I can tell that you said it much.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. Donnell doesn't love gay shit. And he walks in as you and him, and y'all naked, right? Me and Bobby are naked on a bare skin rug. I love gay shit.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Like, all white guys love gay shit. If I could sneak around and put my dick on his shoulder, he'd be like, got me. We love, white guys love gay shit. If I could sneak around and put my dick on his shoulder, he'd be like, got me. We love, white guys love gay shit. I wasn't already decent. White guys love gay shit. We do love gay, I don't know why, man. It's like, the gayer, the funner it is for me. Like, I mean, our whole podcast, Two Bears, One Cave, is based on me and Tom fantasizing what we'd be like if we were gay.
Starting point is 00:12:22 And I'd go, I'd go, it'd be great. I'd come home and I'd chase you and hold you down and wrestle fuck you. And he'd be like, I don't think that's how it's done. I'd go, that's how I do it. And that's how he came up with Two Bears, One Cave. But yeah, man, there's a moment in the, Bobby and Donnell, now, it's hard to explain,
Starting point is 00:12:40 but like, comics, we're like brothers, you know? Even if you don't know each other. even if we don't know each other we're like brothers, we take care of each other we talk shit about each other sometimes but we love each other and you can't really offend us so there's a moment where we're doing

And I have one manager, shout out to Barry Katz, who very wisely said, he's an interesting dude. He goes, Papa, can I interject for a second? There's two types of people in this business, people who work and people who sue.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Pick which one you want to be. And I didn't sue. And I thought to myself, I want one day, and I hope to God this happens, I want one day to be bigger than Van Wilder. I would like to be larger than that movie. I think I'm on my way and if my movie The Machine comes out
Starting point is 00:23:54 and if it does well, I'd like to get to that place where that's a footnote in my story instead of the thing. I'd love to meet Ryan Reynolds and him not go, I'd love for him to be like, dude, I'm a fan. Yeah, because that's weird to me because if it's based on you, you see how these people,
Starting point is 00:24:10 they come and they hang out with the character that's based on. Yeah, you could have been a consultant. Yeah, right. Well, you know what, the thing then, you got to remember, this is a long time ago. This is 97, 98. Best year of my life.
Starting point is 00:24:21 That's when we met. Yes, we met. Best year of my life, yeah. So we there. Yeah. Where were you then? I was in New York City. I'm born and raised in New York City, but I live out here now. But yeah, that was the best year of my life, 1998.
Starting point is 00:24:33 I had to drop the album. N.R.E. is my first number one. First solo album. First solo album. Oh, wait. I was saying, where were you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I knew you, man.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Because I was in New York, too. That's when the box was big. Do you remember the box? Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. The fucking box. Dude, I was telling someone York too that's when the box was big do you remember the box yeah the fucking box dude I was telling someone the other day
Starting point is 00:24:48 like I'm going to say this and he's going to say I don't know who you are but like Cameron will DM me every now and then I ran into him
Starting point is 00:24:55 in Nick's game him and Jim Jones why that when I moved to New York for me this is like how I
Starting point is 00:25:02 I grew up in Florida so for us all of hip hop was in your car. And then when I got to New York, I hadn't really heard it. No one drives cars there. So it was all in your headsets. So it was very different hip hop for me until that summer. I think it was probably 98, 99, when I remember just walking around the village and hearing hip hop in other people's cars and being like, what song is that? And then going into like, they still had Tower Records at the time, and being like, yo, what's
Starting point is 00:25:29 the, oh boy, boy, boy, boy, boy. And then they're like, okay, I'll get you, I'll help you. I remember that summer so fucking, that moving to New York. What's your first time in New York? Didn't you hang out at a gay bar? Dude. It all started there. I saw a dude fuck another dude in the ass.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is old school, man. They don't do it like that anymore. My first night. This is more complicated now. Dude, I got to be honest with you. It was the first time I was ever like, I saw a dude that I think about like once a month. This guy.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Hold on, hold on. Let me explain myself he had little tiny stars tattooed on his heels and they increasingly got bigger until he had two Dallas Cowboys on his ass cheeks and I looked at that guy I looked at him for an uncomfortable amount of time just staring at that artwork going that's a fucking commitment I mean a fucking I mean I go he's gotta be like 56 now like wait I wonder what he does he still has those
Starting point is 00:26:28 fucking guts I think about that guy a lot dude we went that first night in New York I go out I think was you tricked into
Starting point is 00:26:35 going to the gay bar you was gay so I didn't no no no I didn't dude I'm trying to sound like
Starting point is 00:26:41 50 year old Bert but 25 year old Bert was not very open-minded. He was from Tallahassee. I knew Cuban dudes really well because I grew up in Florida. I knew black dudes pretty good because we'll fam you. Those are here, Cuban and black dudes. As far as how my open-mindedness was, I think I was a good person but I wasn't like
Starting point is 00:27:05 comfortable in that scenario and so the first night we went out I went out with this dude there was an editor for some magazine and this chick and we lose the dude and it's me and the chick and the first place we go is a place called Mary Lou's on 13th
Starting point is 00:27:20 and I sit down and this guy's next to me and he's like oh man you're the Rolling Stone guy. I just read about you on the plane. Holy shit, I got to buy you a drink. Now, I think I'm going to be famous because I was just famous in Tallahassee. But something like, hey man, I'm trying to hang out with someone.
Starting point is 00:27:36 And he's like, okay. And I turn and the girl's like, I can't believe David Lee Roth knows who you are. I'm like, oh shit. Shut the fuck up. It's David Lee Roth. He yells down. He's like, Harvey, Ab up. It's David Lee Roth. He yells down. He's like, Harvey, Abel.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Harvey Keitel, Abel Ferrara at this bar. It is who's who's of drinking late night. And then she looks at me and she goes, let's go party. Let's go to the meatpacking district. Now, I don't know what that is. And she takes me into a straight up sucking dick and fucking gay bar in the meatpacking district. I mean, listen,
Starting point is 00:28:06 in fairness, meatpacking district is the meatpacking district. But what a convenient place to put it. I saw, you know, it's so funny. Okay,
Starting point is 00:28:16 this is a little aggressive. This is a little aggressive. I saw, so I, I thought if you fucked a dude in the ass, that he'd have to be bent over. I can't get used to this, man. He'd have to be bent over, right?
Starting point is 00:28:27 That's how I thought you'd do it. I saw a dude sitting on a dude's lap, and I couldn't understand what they were doing, and then I'm like, oh my God, they're having sex. They're having sex. Just like a man and a woman. He's sitting on her, and I was like, oh yeah, of course you can do that.
Starting point is 00:28:40 You're like straddling him? I saw, dude, that was like, I remember being like, what the? You had an awakening. I was like, they're making love. Dude, that was me. I remember that was my first night in New York. I was just telling someone about this. I didn't know anyone.
Starting point is 00:28:56 I was living with a dude who was from the Canary Islands, but he didn't speak English. Wait a minute. Tell me. Your roommate didn't speak English? It was my friend I grew up with could, I could, I could. Wait, wait, wait, tell me, your roommate didn't speak English? It was, it was my friend I grew up with's sister's ex-boyfriend. And that's your roommate?
Starting point is 00:29:11 Yeah, he goes, you can stay here. I get there the first night. You just do the randoms? Yeah, shout out to Diego. You're fucking in the violence? Let me find him, let me find him. My first night, all we did was open a map and drink and point to places we've been to. Oh, that's funny. Didn't speak.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Huh? Huh? Huh? So I was like, and it was, oh, fuck, yes. And it was a studio apartment. So I slept on the floor next to his bed like he had kicked me out. And so that night, that was my first night.
Starting point is 00:29:49 My first night going out was with those people and I stayed out all night. We stayed out all night and I came home and he was at work and so I was like, oh, that's the ticket. I just got to stay out all night. The next night,
Starting point is 00:29:59 I stayed out and I was like on, like park benches, that sounds worse than it is. I just stayed up all night in New York and you just hung out and just walked around, sat on a park bench, and I was like, this sucks. Next night, genius move, I get a bag of weed, and I meet dudes at bars, and I go, you want to get high?
Starting point is 00:30:15 Later, like, when this closes, we'll go get high. And they're like, yeah, sure. Go to their place, get high. I pass out on their couch, and then be like, bro, bro, you got to leave. Just let them fucking sleep. And then I'd wake up, and I'd spend the night. Then I'd go there to the other place, where Diego's place was. My second night of doing this, I meet a dude.
Starting point is 00:30:33 We go back to his place. We smoke weed. We listen to Tool and we watch My So-Called Life with Claire Danes. I don't know if you remember that. No, I don't. And it's a great fucking show. And I pass out on his couch. The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States.

Starting point is 00:57:23 See, that's where I'm going to speak. I will tell you the whole thing. By the way, this is how you know this is some good whiskey. I just burped and I wanted to sip it back in. You took a shot after you burped. I wanted to go back in. It smells so beautiful. You don't want that?

Starting point is 00:57:49 Yes. Can I tell you, growing up in Florida, I feel like it's my city. Even Miami is not my city at all. You grew up in Tallahassee. Tallahassee, Tampa. You grew up in Tampa, right? And then I come down to Miami all the time. And I mean, doing stand-up in Miami.
Starting point is 00:58:04 Miami, dude, you. Did you ever go to the Miami Improv? And then I come down to Miami all the time. And I mean, doing stand-up in Miami. Miami, dude, you, did you ever go to the Miami Improv? Yes, I have. Have you got a new one in Doral? No, I don't go.

Starting point is 00:58:22 Yes. No, dude, you want to talk about, can you, when we used to do, I've told this story before, so stop me if you've heard it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:32 But so the Miami Improv was crazy. Like there were times. That was in the Grove back in. Back in Coconut Grove. And underground. There were times where you would do stand up and not, and 80% of the room did not speak English.
Starting point is 00:58:44 80% of the room. And cocaine English. 80% of the room. And cocaine cowboys time. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is 2000, 2001, 2004. I don't even know if it was around back then. No, no, I don't think so. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:54 And so I, one time go on stage, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm headlining and the, the girl in front of me comes off. She's a host and she's like, we have two hecklers in the front. I said, how do I remove? The feature's on. I go to the manager. I go, hey, there's two hecklers. Can you move them?
Starting point is 00:59:13 And she says, he goes, I think they're gang members. So I think I'm going to just let them stay. And I go, but they're ruining the show. And he goes, yeah, I'm pretty sure they have weapons on them. So like, hey, don't talk with them. And I'm like, okay. So I go, but they're ruining the show. And he goes, yeah, I'm pretty sure they have weapons on them. So like, hey, don't fuck with them. And I'm like, okay. So I go on stage. One dude just regular looking black dude. Nothing special with his hair. Other dude, light skin
Starting point is 00:59:33 black dude, tattoos on his face and dreads. Did you say tattoos? Tattoos. I say it differently. Yeah. Tattoos. I've never heard tattoos. Continue there. Tattoos. Tattoos. The dark skinned dude's name's Ray. And by the way-
Starting point is 00:59:48 You got it on a first-name basis? Because I think he did some stuff for Bang Bus. Okay. I think if I remember- Yeah, someone might know this guy. I mean- Oh, I know. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:59:59 He's Cuban. That's Cuban. The guy, Ray, that did the Bang Bus. The pornos? Yeah, the skinny dude. Skinny dude. Hold on, hold on. So we might have, okay, now, Ray, I may be, look, I tell a lot of stories out of school. So this isn't you.
Starting point is 01:00:11 That's totally cool. But this is 2004, 2006, right around then. So I start, I do this thing. There's a thing you can do in stand-up where you ask people the setup to your joke. So I go, you good at eating pussy? I already have a good pussy eating joke. So then I get you to to your joke. So I go, you good at eating pussy? I already have a good pussy eating joke, so then I get you to say your thing. I said to Ray, I said,
Starting point is 01:00:30 you good at eating pussy? He goes, you know what you do? I said, what? And he goes, you put your lips real close to her clit and you go, and so then now he said something silly, so I get to make a joke out of that, and then I go, no, Ray, what I do is I put my lips around her entirely and go, oh! And so now we've said two jokes, right? So it's a way to deal with a heckler. It's a cheat code. It's not the best Ray, what I do is I put my lips around her entirely and go, oh. And so now we've said two jokes, right?
Starting point is 01:00:45 So it's a way to deal with a heckler. It's a cheat code. It's not the best comedy. But I do that. It's like defusing them. It defuses them. It lets them be a part of the show. Right.
Starting point is 01:00:53 So I do that for like 29 minutes. And I realize I haven't really told a joke. Now, I've told a bunch of jokes. But you handle it in the heck list. I'm handling the heck list. Yes, okay. And so I had a joke at the time about black dudes' cocks.
Starting point is 01:01:08 Okay. You think black is a slimming color until you see a black dude's cock. You're like, well, shouldn't it be the white ones that look big? Like a lighthouse in the fog or a flashlight in a haunted house.
Starting point is 01:01:16 What are you kids doing in here? So I had told that. I had told that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if there was a black chick, I go, you ever have sex with a white guy? And she goes, no.
Starting point is 01:01:25 I go, you should do it. It's like getting your ears pierced. You feel a little prick and it's over. And so, like, it was all crowd work stuff that you have in your pocket. So I told that already. So I turned to the other side of the audience because I realized I haven't really, like, told a joke. I've just been fucking with these guys. And Ray jumps up on stage and he goes.
Starting point is 01:01:43 The gang member. Yeah, from Bang Brothers. I think. Look, I'm sorry, Ray, goes... The gang member. Yeah. From Bang Brothers. I think. Look, I'm sorry, Ray, if it's not you.

Let them play with the dick in the truck. I'll let them play with the dick in the truck. We were in Scotland. And I was like,
Starting point is 01:14:49 that's pretty cool. I was like, wow, that's really cool. And Mobb Deep, he had this big thing. I have a weird thing talking about people who pass because they can't contest it. He was explaining to me how
Starting point is 01:15:05 white guys don't fuck with Mobb Deep and Mobb Deep is the real shit. He was obsessed with Mobb Deep. He's a really brilliant dude. He told me a lot. I remember he's a very pivotal dude in my life. Very, very pivotal dude. I miss
Starting point is 01:15:21 that guy. I miss that guy. I didn't go to his funeral because I knew he wouldn't have gone to mine. Oh, shit. So I just thought, out of respect, I go, I'm not going to show up at your fucking funeral because I know that if I told you, if Patrice was alive, if he had faked his death
Starting point is 01:15:34 and he had saw me at his funeral, he'd be like, what the fuck are you doing here? Oh, my God. I wouldn't have gone to yours. That's Patrice, though. Yeah. That is some comedy shit right there.
Starting point is 01:15:46 I've never heard of no shit like that. Did Tracy Morgan get you high on PCP? Fuck. On PCP? I wish that story had never gotten out.
Starting point is 01:15:54 I wish that story had never, it's a good fucking story. It's one of the best stories in the world. Because you still don't know whether he did or not. I'll say this
Starting point is 01:16:01 on Tracy's behalf because I know he does not like the story. First of all, Tracy, I am the biggest fan. Yes. You are a fucking legend. I'll say this on Tracy's behalf because I know he does not like the story. First of all, Tracy, I am the biggest fan. You are a fucking legend. I'm sorry that this is how we're introduced. I met you one time.
Starting point is 01:16:14 I met you one time. I thought it was two times. Did he skip out on a bill? That was the same night. Oh, PCP and the dinner. No, hang on. Just so we're clear. Tracy Morgan does not smoke PCP. You're going to get me in fucking trouble. He does not smoke PCP. the demo. No, no, hang on, hang on. Jesus, relax, relax. Tracy Morgan does not smoke PCP. You're going to get me in fucking trouble. I definitely didn't say that.
Starting point is 01:16:27 He does not smoke PCP. I will tell you this. Okay. I think he made me believe at the time, because I was being this nervous white kid who was working the door at the Boston Comedy Club. And by the way, this was 98? I turned 26.
Starting point is 01:16:43 I just turned 26 26 whatever year that was Tony Woods shout out to Tony Woods one of the best fucking best comics that has ever done stand up he was there that night so like
Starting point is 01:16:52 just so we're clear I wasn't the only person there right so Tony Woods got high too yeah and so no no no it was just me and Tracy
Starting point is 01:17:00 it was just me and Tracy it was just me and Tracy it was just me and Tracy and by the way I know Tracy didn't like this story so I'm fucking sorry I'm doing it already. But I'm fucking drunk, Tracy. God, you remember when you used to drink? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:11 Because the story goes, you guys went out back, you smoked a blunt. Smoked, yeah. You said, hey, man, this tastes a little crazy. And he said, because it's that wet. And you said, wet? And he said, PCPP like Denzel Washington in training day. Like training day. Just like training day. That's how I visualized it. And now, I
Starting point is 01:17:30 freaked out. I freaked out. I never tell this story. And I sincerely apologize, Tracy. And you didn't want to go home? No, no, no. I went back to Tony. I went back to Tony and I said, I think I just smoked PCP with Tracy Morgan. And he goes, he started laughing. He goes, you did not. And I said, what? And he goes, Tracy doesn't smoke PCP. I said, for Morgan. And he goes, he started laughing, he goes, you did not. And I said,
Starting point is 01:17:45 well, and he goes, Tracy doesn't smoke PCP. I said, for real? And he goes, maybe. He goes,
Starting point is 01:17:52 maybe. He goes, listen, what you, hey, here's the deal. I know the man, he's not a guy
Starting point is 01:17:57 that's going to give someone PCP, but if you go home, you'll believe you're on PCP and you'll jump out of a fucking window. He's like, come out with us, hang out with us tonight. Trust me, you're not on PCP and you'll jump out of a fucking window. He's like, come out with us. Hang out with us tonight.
Starting point is 01:18:05 Trust me, you're not on PCP. And so we went out to a club called Madam X. And we had one of the best nights of my life. I can't express this enough. It bums me out that Tracy may not like me for even sharing this story again because I fucking idolize that guy. That guy is like the biggest. He was such an unbridled talent.
Starting point is 01:18:31 At times, the things he'd do on just regular interviews, I fucking love that guy. And my night with him was amazing. It was the funniest night. I'm sitting with Tracy and like 20 black dudes, and we're all drinking champagne. Tracy's taking, everyone's got a bottle of champagne. And when a girl walks by, he's giving her a bottle of champagne and saying something outrageous.
Starting point is 01:18:51 This is before the Walmart. Oh, wait. Wait, wait. Once again, I feel, I just want Tracy to know I, whatever. He's a comedian. He gets it. I think he does. He didn't like this story.
Starting point is 01:19:05 I heard that he didn't like this story or that he said it never happened, which is, he's totally allowed to say. He's totally allowed to say. Right. But if it, yeah,
Starting point is 01:19:12 but I'd have to be the best storyteller in the goddamn world to tell this fucking story. And to this day, do you know, was it? Nah, for the record,
Starting point is 01:19:20 it probably wasn't. It wasn't, it wasn't. He was fucking with me. I'm going to fuck with somebody like that. It's like when you tell, and I already had opium. I always say all the time, someone believes wasn't. It wasn't. He was fucking with me. I'm going to fuck with somebody like that. It's like when you tell and I already had opium. I always say all the time
Starting point is 01:19:27 someone believes me it's not true. There's a list of stories of Tracy just fucking with the opening comics. Just busting their balls. Was it opening white comics? Because that's what I heard.
Starting point is 01:19:37 It was a lot of opening white comics. White comics. There's a couple white comics that are all like I have a Tracy Morgan story. And you're like for real? Is that common?
Starting point is 01:19:44 You know what I mean? Yeah. I think you fuck with the opening comics I have a Tracy Morgan story. And you're like, for real? Is that common? Yeah, I think you fuck with the opening comics is the funnest thing to do. And Tracy's a genius. I mean, he's a fucking... I can't say that enough. You go online, he's got a Doug Flutie story that's like the funniest thing I've ever heard in my entire life about his high school coach
Starting point is 01:20:03 telling... Tracy's the fucking best. And so I'm bummed that like if I ever run into him he won't he won't be like I'm a big fan nah but whatever you know listen you shit happens to you you tell your truth as much as you can right and you and and as a comic you tell a story but the best part of the story is at the end of the night, the white waitress comes up and gives me the bill. Gives you the bill. Because I'm the one white guy there. And Tracy's like, what the fuck is that?
Starting point is 01:20:31 She's like, it's the bill. I'm the richest y'all. Y'all, I'm the in here. I'm the richest one in here. And Tracy Morgan's like, no. And then he's like, that's fucking racism. And then she slides him the bill. And he's like, oh, now I got money?
Starting point is 01:20:43 Now I got money? And he takes his shirt off, and he throws it at her. And two bouncers, Tony corrected me on this, ex-NFL bouncers. They're ex-NFL guards. They're like, yo, my man. And Tracy just smiles, and he goes, ah, shit, I ain't your man. The biggest fight I've ever been in in my life breaks out, right? Crazy, crazy. I? Crazy. Crazy. I'm on PTP.
Starting point is 01:21:07 Or at least I think I am. I walk outside. I walk. I leave. I'm a white guy. I grab my backpack. I leave. I'm like, see you guys.
Starting point is 01:21:16 Good luck, guys. I walk outside, and I'm just watching. I'm like, wait, Tony Woods comes out, and he's like, shit's going off, man. Shit's going off. We need to go back in there. And I was like, I'm not, wait, Tony Woods comes out, and he's like, shit's going off, man. Shit's going off, we need to go back in there. And I was like, I'm not going back in. The doors kick open. Tracy Volk.
Starting point is 01:21:31 I know Tracy, doors kick open, and he comes flying, two bouncers fly him up, up a flight of stairs. You know in New York, where those bars are downstairs? Yeah. They throw him up a flight of stairs. He lands on his shirt. Doors kick back open.
Starting point is 01:21:49 His shirt comes out end over end like a cartoon. Lands on his back. I'm looking at Tony Woods going, what are we doing with a dead Tracy Morgan? Tracy Morgan stands up, snaps his shirt, looks me in the eyes. He goes, no, that's how you get out of paying a check. Dude. I literally, I literally, Tony and him were like, we're going this way towards West Broadway. I go, I'm going home.
Starting point is 01:22:15 I think I'm done. I walked home and I literally was like, you know when a car just misses you? Yeah. And you're like, am I fucking still alive? Yeah. I remember I ran into a dude named Eddie Yift and I was like, he was like, hey, how was your night tonight? And I go, I just had the most amazing things just happen to me. I go, I just hung out with Tracy Morgan.
Starting point is 01:22:33 He's the funniest fucking human being I've ever met in my entire life. I love the dude. I fucking love him. I'm bummed that, but whatever. It's going to work out. Thank you. It's going to work out. So you want to explain to him the game? Yeah, we're going to give you two choices.

Starting point is 01:30:52 But without a doubt, Charlie Murphy. Charlie Murphy has one of the best. Charlie Murphy gave me so much joy. When I had, we had George, I was doing the road, just doing the road as a feature act. And I'd come home, and on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, I would watch Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn and the Dave Chappelle show, the Chappelle show. I would watch them all. I had them all saved.
Starting point is 01:31:13 And I'd sit down and watch those with Georgia. You know when you have a baby and you cross your legs, you put them in your lap, you have your coffee, and you play them. And Charlie Murphy brought me so much joy with just the Charlie Murphy stories. The best story he ever told,
Starting point is 01:31:28 and this is the one that is my favorite. Did you ever hear the story about when him, he was telling a story to Snoop on his Snoop show, and he was talking about when he got out of the Marines or the Navy, and he came home, and he was like, I didn't have any clothes, I just had military outfits. You heard this story? It's the best fucking story. And he goes, so my brother Eddie Murphy was like,
Starting point is 01:31:53 hey, wear one of my jackets out to the club tonight. We're going to Club Century. And so he goes, it was like a busboy jacket, like sparkles and everything. And he goes, I walked into the club, and everyone's like, oh, shit. That's Eddie Murphy. That's Eddie Murphy.

Starting point is 01:37:02 I don't think I've ever met Chris Rock. Oh, I met him one time. Chappelle and Rock are tough to meet. Like, they're just not, I mean, I've said this, I have not said this, I don't think I've ever met Chris Rock. Oh, I met him one time. Chappelle and Rock are tough to meet. They're just not, I mean, I don't know. You gotta be a part of their thing to be a part of their thing. I met Chappelle once, too. I mean, he's like a great white shark. He comes through, he came
Starting point is 01:37:17 through one time at the comedy club I was in Dayton, and he just stepped into the green, I was getting paid, and Chappelle walked in, and a party's like, no one's supposed to be in the room when you're paid, and I was like, who the, and I was in Dayton, and he just stepped into the green, into the, while I was getting paid. And Chappelle walked in. And a party is like, you know, you're not supposed, no one's supposed to be in the room when you get paid. And I was like, who the, and I was like, oh shit, it's Dave Chappelle. It really is. And I swam with Great White Sharks a couple times out of the cage.
Starting point is 01:37:36 When they show up, they move with intention. And they're very confident. Great White Sharks are very confident. And Dave Chappelle's a Great White fucking shark. And so is Chris Rock. His, dude, I fucking love Chris Rock. I'll give you a Chris Rock story real quick. Oh, I fucking love this shit.
Starting point is 01:37:54 Me and Chris, you know, we've been in the same boat from New York. But one time I was in L.A. and I'm in a Soho house. And I'm getting money, you know, I'm feeling great about myself. So I just say to the waitress, I say, yo, send Chris Rock a bottle. I fucking love this shit. No one does this shit anymore. No one does this shit. Here's what's fucking wrong. Here's what's wrong.
Starting point is 01:38:10 Everyone's so fucking worried about getting lit up on social media, being the guy that goes, you know, can I tell you something? I'm sorry that I'm changing something. Private jets. Let's talk about private jets for a second. God damn it, let's go. So I follow private jets a lot. And I always videotape. I always post pictures.
Starting point is 01:38:25 And someone hit me up and they're like, hey man, you shouldn't do that. It's not relatable. And I go, yeah, it's the most relatable thing
Starting point is 01:38:32 you could ever do is that I'm on a private jet. What the fuck do you think everyone else does when they're on a fucking private jet? They go, I'm on a fucking private jet.
Starting point is 01:38:39 When did, when did, the fact that you're hype about it, when did hiding your money become relatable? That's not relatable. You get money, you buy a fucking Rolex, a fucking panda,
Starting point is 01:38:50 and you fucking live large. You have gold bottles of champagne. You do big dog shit. That's what the fuck is fun about getting money. Why would you work so hard to get money if you don't get your goddamn fucking power? Fuck those guys. Fuck those guys.
Starting point is 01:39:12 I don't want to hear that shit. We're drinking fucking, we're drinking 15-year-old whiskey. God damn it. Getting fucking, that's the thing. That's just the fucking thing. With a white man on there, I'm pretty sure it was racist. Hands down, he would.
Starting point is 01:39:30 I need help. I need help. I just spit Batman Wig on my eyes. I need help. It feels so good. It feels so good. Oh, my God. Is this what racism feels like?
Starting point is 01:39:41 Is rude something? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Is this what it feels like? It hurts so bad? Oh my God. Oh my God. Is this what it feels like? I'm so sorry. Now, if the boy look at him, I'm like, you are spitting heavy metal in my eye.
Starting point is 01:40:01 Now, the boy look at him on the bottom, I'm like, I'm not sure I would be invited to this dinner. Well, you'd be there, but... wouldn't be as where I wanted to be. Finish the story with Chris Rock. Hold on. Wait, that is over the fact that Pappy Van Winkle was probably a racist? Let's see him. Let's see him.
Starting point is 01:40:19 Zoom. Someone bring the camera. I spit it in my eye. Bring the camera. Oh, my God. Either he was a racist or the best dentist in Alabama. Okay, so let me tell you. So, hey, Pabby Van Winkle, here we go.
Starting point is 01:40:36 Pabby Van Winkle, where's my camera? Pabby Van Winkle, if you stand against racism, send one bottle of 23-year-old whiskey for every episode they do. Because stand with us in alliance. That's right. Black Lives Matters. That's right. That's right. And then, just checking.
Starting point is 01:40:52 Yes. Pappy Van Winkle. Everyone hit up Pappy Van Winkle and let them know we're big fans. And I bet you're big fans of Drink Champs. Yes. So please start sending these bottles and we'll drink it every episode. And hey, listen, we love you, Papi Van. God damn.
Starting point is 01:41:11 God damn. Racist son of a bitch. Okay. Okay. So I'm at Soho House. Chris Rock is all the way over there. I tell the waitress to go send him a bottle. Chris Rock thinks this is funny.
Starting point is 01:41:26 Chris Rock goes and says, all right, cool. He's going to walk over there, but he tells the waitress, don't send him the bottle. Don't send him the bottle until after I take the picture with Nori. So he walks over. I walk over and say, Chris, man, how you doing, man? Good to see you. I'm like, can I take a picture? He goes, no problem. So I don't know if you know Soho House. You can't take the picture
Starting point is 01:41:41 in the main room. You have to go in the balconies. And they let women in there. Yeah. So we went on the balcony. I take the picture. And then I come back. And the waitress brings me the bill. So I'm looking.
Starting point is 01:41:57 The shit was $85,000. Wait, what? I look. And then as soon as I look up, Chris talks like, ah! It was a joke. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:42:12 Oh, my God. My card is on file, so I'm like, wait a minute. Did Chris Rock just order 80? First of all, I didn't even know there was a bottle that exists, $85,000. And they sent it to me. Because you told him to get whatever he wanted, right? I said, whatever Chris Rock wanted. You know, at the time, him to get whatever he wanted, right? I said whatever Chris Rock wanted. You know, at the time, I'm thinking I'm getting money.
Starting point is 01:42:27 Then I realized, wait a minute. You ain't just $85,000 for no reason. Okay. All right. Moving on. All right. Next one. I'm sweating thinking about it now.
Starting point is 01:42:39 I'm sweating thinking about it right now. I ate sushi with Ralphie May one time. We ate a dolphin. Legit. I love it. Everyone's like, wait, you can eat dolphins? The fish, guys. The fish. You remember Ralphie May? In Miami, you can't say eating a dolphin. They're like, you eating my team?
Starting point is 01:42:56 Oh, yeah. Oh, that's right. No, man. Good. George Carlin or Robin Williams? Robin Williams, without a doubt. He's very racist. He was fucking... And they, he was, Robin Williams. And they're both geniuses. Both geniuses. It's what you connect with.
Starting point is 01:43:10 I like the frenetic energy that Robin had. I love his career as an actor. He was an amazing actor. George Carlin, I met him walking down the street. I used to bark at the Boston Comedy Club at the door. The Boston Comedy Club is in New York? It was in New York. It was on West 3rd in between Thompson and Sullivan.
Starting point is 01:43:25 I can't believe we allowed a Boston name. I know, right? Yeah, that was, I'll stop a lot. One of the hardest I've ever laughed. Puerto Rican couple
Starting point is 01:43:33 comes up to the door. Now, mind you, I'm from Florida, so I'm a little bit oblivious to New York. And Puerto Rican couple comes up to the door and they go,
Starting point is 01:43:44 hey, what's going on inside tonight? And I go, it's a comedy show. It's really fun, but I don't think it's right for you guys. And they said, really? And I said, well, yeah, she's pregnant. And the guy goes, in the best Puerto Rican reaction, oh.
Starting point is 01:43:59 And I go, is she not pregnant? And he goes, oh, this is gonna be fun! And she lit me up. She was be fun. And she lit me up. She was not pregnant. And she lit me up. I'll never forget. Like, those are those moments in New York where you're like, oh, fuck, number.
Starting point is 01:44:12 Ask anyone if they're pregnant. Yeah, yeah. And you fucked that one up for sure. Yeah, I fucked that bad. You got it? No, I don't know who these people are. Bobby Lee. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 01:44:22 Oh, Bobby Lee? Okay. Or T.O. Vaughn. Or is it Theo? It's Theo. Okay. After the Bobby Lee, I felt T.O. was a movie. No, I'm going to drink.
Starting point is 01:44:34 Is it Theo? He was on MTV, right? In Road Rules or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or Real World? Road Rules. He's fucking brilliant. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:44:40 I've seen his shit. He's funny as fuck. He's like, like. No. Oh, he is. He's Guatem've seen his shit. He's funny as fuck. He's like, like. It's his man at Oxford. No. Oh, he is. He's Guatemalan, I think. He is funny as shit. Look, Bobby is like podcast gold.
Starting point is 01:44:50 If Bobby drank still, I'm telling you. Bobby, you could bring Bobby down here and not drink. Yo, Bobby was a Korean. Korean, Korean. Okay, okay. My bad. My bad. My bad.
Starting point is 01:44:58 Nope, nope, nope. My bad. You're allowed to guess. Korean. I apologize. But Theo is is man, he is all in my algorithm. He is the funniest dude.
Starting point is 01:45:09 He's really bizarre. He's fucking just brilliant, man. I love that guy. I've seen some of his shit. He's so funny. Was he doing comedy back then? Is this like a reinvention of himself? No, I think he started right after doing Road Rules. I shouldn't speak at all to it because I don't know any of it,
Starting point is 01:45:26 but I think he started doing it after that, like right after that. But he is, I'm telling you, man, he's one of the best comics in the game. He's got a huge tour right now. Everyone's got, dude, shout out to fucking Rogan. Everyone's got fucking big tours right now. Rogan killed the game. Dude, Rogan. If his name's not on that list, I'm fucking telling you right now,
Starting point is 01:45:45 it's Joe Rogan. Whatever the fuck it is. We got to get Joe Rogan on If his name's not on that list, I'm fucking telling you right now, it's Joe Rogan. Whatever the fuck it is. We got to get Joe Rogan on here, too. Dude. And we need to go to his joint in Austin. Yeah, we got to get invited. You know how fucking fun that would be? You know how fun that would be? Show off.
Starting point is 01:45:55 Hey, man. He mentioned Drink Chance a couple times. I'm making my invite for your show. Are you being serious? Yeah, man. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you who I am. If my next door neighbor had a party and didn't remind me, I won't go.
Starting point is 01:46:07 I'm that guy. You have to. I have to feel special. I'm a special person. Yeah. I was in resource room and special education. And dyslexic. I was dyslexic.
Starting point is 01:46:18 Yeah, I know. I know. That's why I keep bringing it up. I was really dyslexic, yeah. I keep bringing it up. That's my homie. That's my homie. I told you.
Starting point is 01:46:23 I know her. She said to me, she goes, hey, outlawed adoption in Mississippi? I go, that says abortion. And she goes, oh, they want orphans. Yeah, she's, yeah, hardcore. Okay, so Nas or Biggie Smalls? Biggie Smalls. I got to be honest with you, okay?
Starting point is 01:46:38 So, like, this is not going to sound really great, but, like, Biggie was super accessible to all of us in college. It was just super accessible. We got it. His first album, I'm not speaking for all frat boy white dudes, but it was not the one we got. But when Puffy collaborated
Starting point is 01:46:59 with him and really, that next one that happened in like... You're talking about Biggie? No, no, no, but the second one when he really was you could really feel the sprinkle of him okay of like uh like uh it it man biggie was like next level for us i didn't discover naz until later do you remember he did like a documentary that maybe he did like a thing on uh i'm so sorry naz i'm saying it i'm the only way i can explain it he did a like a documentary maybe he did like a thing on I'm so sorry Nas I'm saying it there's only way
Starting point is 01:47:25 I can explain it he did a like a Life 360 thing with MTV and he was on the tour bus and he wasn't wearing his shirt a lot of the time
Starting point is 01:47:33 it's the only way I remember it yeah yeah yeah you got your idea to take off your shirt no no no Nas gave you the idea it's all about
Starting point is 01:47:42 hip hop baby Nas gave me the idea but like I didn't discover Nas until much later and I'm I'll get you the idea. It's all about hip hop, baby. No, I was getting the idea. But like, I didn't discover Nas until much later. And I'm being honest in that Biggie was just accessible. Like, it was more, I don't know. And I don't know, honestly, I don't know if it was because of the Tupac shit. Tupac was the entry.
Starting point is 01:48:01 He was the gateway drug. Tupac was the gateway drug for us in college. And then, I mean, we came late to the game to Snoop. We came late to the game to Dre. It's amazing if you did. I would love to see a documentary about how white people found hip-hop. Because The Chronic was like, I remember The Chronic came out, and everyone's like, N.W.A. was the game-changer.
Starting point is 01:48:22 N.W.A. was the game-changer. N.W.A. was the fucking game-changer. Ice Cube breaking away and all of that. Dude, and so in a weird way, we all love those dudes because like, what was Ice Cube had a separate group? Lince Mob? Lince Mob. The Lince Mob. I mean, we followed.
Starting point is 01:48:41 Because you ended up signing up for these guys, it's all about fandom. The way fandom works. I had someone explain this to me. I know I'm re-saying this again, but the way fandom works is I had a guy who was in Fort Lauderdale doing a show, and the guy's like a white dude, redneck, shirtless,
Starting point is 01:48:53 not that big of a guy, kind of drunk, doesn't look like a winner. And he just goes, hey man, I need to explain to you I'm a fan. And I went, okay. Like going like,
Starting point is 01:49:03 let's just get through this. And he goes, no, no, I need you to pay attention. He goes, I don't have much in my life, but I got you. I'm not fan. And I went, okay. Like going like, let's just get through this. And he goes, no, no, I need you to pay attention. He goes, I don't have much in my life, but I got you. I don't, I'm not a sports, I'm not an athlete, but I got you. I follow you. I love you, man. And I love when you succeed.
Starting point is 01:49:15 When you succeed, it feels like I succeeded because now I feel like I made the right decision. I picked the right guy. I love when I introduce you to people and then they go, oh, I love that guy. So, dude, keep killing it, because I'll always be a fan. That's how it is with hip-hop, is like when, or being a fan, just being a fan in general, is you discover someone like N.W.A., right?
Starting point is 01:49:38 And then you fall in love with all those dudes. And then you go, these are my guys. These are my guys. They're set up to be my guys for the rest of my life. Dude, Ice Cube's been my guy forever. I watch his movies. Like, Ice Cube, when they introduce Snoop to me, I go, Snoop's my guy. Eminem's my guy.
Starting point is 01:49:55 Like, that's how fandom works is, like, I trust my guys to give me good guys. Right. And I will say this wholeheartedly. Joe Rogan has shared that privilege with us beyond measure. Like, Joe Rogan, his guys, dude, we're all doing arenas. Right. We're all doing theaters and arenas. And if you're not doing arenas and theaters, you're selling out clubs clean.
Starting point is 01:50:19 Like, that cool shit, you know? And I know sometimes in hip-hop, it's not always done. I know I've heard stories of, like, people signing people to deals so they could hide their records because they wanted their record to come out. But, like, that cool shit, that never gets forgotten. Ever, ever, ever. Let's make some noise for that. You got the next one?
Starting point is 01:50:39 Oh, I got this one. Macallan or Habiki? Macallan. Yeah. No, but... Which one? Macall Habiki? McAllen. Yeah. No, but. Which one? McAllen 21. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:48 No. So we did. I came late to Scott. So I'm a big fan and I would love for you guys to celebrate with me next year. And if you're interested, I can make it happen. What? Let us know. So I do.
Starting point is 01:51:00 I celebrate Winston Churchill's the day he died every year. And that's the cigarette guy? No, man. That was the. I love you so. And that's the cigarette guy? No, man. That was the Prime Minister. Who? Of England, of the UK, of England. During World War II and all that. That ain't Winston Salem?
Starting point is 01:51:12 That's not the same guy? Nope, not the same guy. My bad, my bad. I apologize. I love you so much. I love you so much. I love you so much. I love you so much.
Starting point is 01:51:20 And I'm so honest. I loved your honesty in that moment. I really thought it was Winston Churchill. Why do you celebrate his birthday? So Winston Churchill did it like a gangster. Every morning he woke up and he had a soft scotch. Every morning. Every morning.
Starting point is 01:51:33 Every morning. He had a soft scotch. He's already my hero. Had a cigar, a cup of coffee, a glass of orange juice, two eggs sunny side up, bacon, ham, jam, toast. And he might have a second scotch. Then he'd get into his bathtub for three hours and he'd drink champagne.
Starting point is 01:51:50 And then he would go on to run the country. And at lunch, he'd have another bottle of champagne. And at dinner, he'd start drinking scotch and whiskey. And he would go to sleep
Starting point is 01:51:59 with a nice brandy at the end of the night. Every fucking day. So I talked about... That's your spirit animal. Dude, let me tell you something. So me and Bill Burr, we had a podcast called Bill Burr.
Starting point is 01:52:10 Fucking funnest fucking podcast. And I talked about his daily program and I said, I'm doing it this year. I'm going to do his full day on the day he died. I'm going to celebrate him and I did it. And you can find them online
Starting point is 01:52:22 and I'm sure your producers can find them. Dude, you got the one that my wife did for me, and then the one I just did in Amsterdam. But you celebrate Winston Churchill Day, living the way he lived his life. Wake up with a scotch. Soft scotch. What is a soft scotch?
Starting point is 01:52:36 Soft scotch is scotch with soda water and ice. It's nice. It tastes like a little vanilla. It's kind of like what I'm drinking with the rum.

Starting point is 02:01:20 I never wanted to be an actor at all. I had no interest. And I just wanted to do stand-up and podcasting. And then I did the movie, and I loved it. I loved it so much. I had so much fucking fun. Which movie? My movie, The Machine.
Starting point is 02:01:33 Oh, okay. Coming out on Monday weekend. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then immediately I thought, like, who would be cool to work with?

I like Kevin Hart. I would love to watch him act. I would love to work with him to see what he's like, how he does it. But Jonah Hill's the number one.

Starting point is 02:03:00 I loved it I loved it The first time I did therapy I was like I was like I said to the lady I was like, you have a mortgage? She was like, does this matter?
Starting point is 02:03:09 And I said, yeah, because I pay you money every week. So if you have a mortgage, I'm going to have problems, it looks like. And she was like, I don't see that as important. She wasn't that attractive. And I was like, yeah, but I was I was like so like you're probably attracted to me right right Tony Soprano and she was like she was like no and I was like you are like be honest we're in therapy right now yeah and it would be fun like if you had a hot if you were a therapist you had a hot chick you'd be like oh she's got so many fucked up problems we should do twice a week
Starting point is 02:03:42 right that's how my brain works. And so, yeah. So I stopped doing therapy with her. I'm still in therapy. Shout out to therapy. Shout out to therapy. That's the first shout out for therapy. Shout out to AIDS. Shout out to Snoop.
Starting point is 02:03:57 Shout out to therapy. No, you took a shot for AIDS. Yeah, that's true. I did take a shot for AIDS. Yeah, you want to go? I got this one. Go ahead. Oh, no, I'm skipping.

Starting point is 02:04:19 That's my moment. Listening to The Lox? Yeah. That was my... And it's fun because you know i hope this sounds respectful but like you have a moment where you know all the names like like uh like big puns a great example of like a guy who passed who meant so much to you in the time maybe you don't listen to him all the time but then what's cool about your podcast is
Starting point is 02:04:41 all of a sudden the locks show up or jay theiss shows up. People show up and you go, fuck, man, I forgot. Like the dip set shows up and you're like, oh, I forgot about this fucking music that I love. And then you drive across the hill and you listen to them. It's still just as good. And it's just as good. It reminds you of how great it was when you were young. You didn't know about death. You were like, I'm going to live forever.
Starting point is 02:05:02 Right. God, man, yeah. I got to go to the office. So Chris Folley or Jim Belushi? Take a shot? Yeah. Because I live down the barrel of both of those guys. By the way,
Starting point is 02:05:16 I just want to just tell y'all, I am mixing whiskey with whiskey. Yeah, I know. I feel like we're eating a cheeseburger with sliders. Yes, yes, yes. That's exactly what we're doing. By the way, I ain't got a lot.
Starting point is 02:05:31 I'm just thinking about it because I can't get up right now. If I get up, that's why I try not to use the bathroom doing this shit. I use the bathroom. When I get up, the shots hit me.
Starting point is 02:05:42 And it's like, oh my God. I got to get on a plane tonight. You got to get on a plane? Yeah, I have a press tour tomorrow with Mark Hamill. I have an IV doctor meeting me at the hotel in the morning. You're a professional. Yeah, you should have told me.
Starting point is 02:05:54 I would have had the IV guy. You could have had the IV. You got the piece of it. My neighbor's an IV. I'm a hardcore IV guy. Yeah, what a damn. Chevy Chase or Steve Martin? I want to tell you, because I watch this show, and I don't like when people take shots.
Starting point is 02:06:14 So I go, I know what I picked. You know? Like, I know what I picked. All right, so which one did you pick? It's Chevy Chase. Okay. And I know, and by the way. Steve Martin's amazing, too. Well, hold on.
Starting point is 02:06:23 Hold on. Steve Martin's the cool guy. Like, if Steve Martin's watching Ring Champs right now, which I'm amazing too. Hold on, hold on. Steve Martin's the cool guy. Like if Steve Martin's watching Rick Champs right now, which I'm sure he's not. He's not. I'm sure he's not. But if he is,
Starting point is 02:06:30 that's dope too. Then he would be like, why would you pick Chevy Chase? And if Chevy Chase would never watch his show, and he's not a great guy, no one likes him. No one likes Chevy Chase.
Starting point is 02:06:37 No one likes Chevy Chase. That sucks, bro. He's a horrible dude. He seems like he would be a likable guy. Yeah, no, he's not. He's not. But my personality was defined by Caddyshack.
Starting point is 02:06:51 Chevy Chase, you burned by all those movies that he made. You create, what movies did you see growing up going, I want to be that guy? Like John Belushi, Chris Farley, Chevy Chase, those were my guys. Coming to America is mine. Yeah, because they shouted up the block for my guys. Coming to America is mine. Yeah. Because they shouted up the block for my hood.
Starting point is 02:07:08 I'm from Lafrax City in Queens. How fucking great was the moment? The hardest I've ever laughed in a movie is when they're all shooting and Arsenio Hall pops up. Pop, pop, pop. Yep, yep. That's Harlem Nights. That's Harlem Nights.
Starting point is 02:07:18 Send it to me too, though. A lot of people say Harlem Nights is Coming to America Part 2. Or I don't believe that. I mean, Harlem Nights is dope because the all-star cast is good. Vampire Brooklyn is good. Harlem Nights is coming to America part two. I don't believe that. Harlem Nights is dope because the all-star cast is dope. Vampire Brooklyn is good. Life is coming. Life is supposed to be Harlem Nights part two.
Starting point is 02:07:35 Yeah, the second part. Which I never, I can't see the correlation. I can't see it. Dude, life is supposed to be the part two of Harlem Nights. Yes. You just got to remember. That makes sense. I mean, Martin is not in it, but you got all these comedians.
Starting point is 02:07:49 No, Martin's not in Harlem Nights. He's in life, yes. You remember at the end of Coming to America when the two old guys, and it's a play. It's not a play. It's going back to Trading Places. Oh, yeah. Remember the rich guys? Now they were the bums on the street and coming to America at the end.
Starting point is 02:08:09 Wait, can I ask you a weird question? Was there more representation back when Eddie Murphy was a movie star than today? I don't know if I can answer that question properly, but I can tell you this. I have never seen, when a comedian was at the top of the list, like when Eddie Murphy movie came out back then, like my community got dipped to see the, I'm talking about, they put on leather. It was an event. I would go to the movie theaters and it would be like Apollo. It would be like a concert.
Starting point is 02:08:44 And since then, like I say, Kevin's my friend. You know, me and him have business together, and we speak a lot. And Kevin's come very, very close, but I have never seen, like, Eddie Murphy, that type of impact when he dropped a movie. No, Eddie Murphy was a game. Yeah, he was out of here.
Starting point is 02:09:04 Listen, I remember Beverly Hills Cop No one at this time No one at this time Never even know What Beverly Hills is The soundtrack is ill to me Like I wanted to be Beverly Hills
Starting point is 02:09:12 Yeah We was from New York I learned how to play it On the piano I learned how to play On the piano Like dude Eddie Murphy
Starting point is 02:09:20 Was I mean just a movie star. Back when you could have movie stars. Back when, fuck the, whatever, the woke fucking, I can't say the certain things. He was a movie star. He was a movie star. He was bigger than them. He was bigger than everyone.
Starting point is 02:09:39 That's what, I don't give a fuck about being an actor. I don't care about the craft. I don't give a fuck about that shit actor. I don't care about the craft. I don't give a fuck about that shit. I want to be a movie star. Like drive down the red carpet on a motorcycle with a cigar in your mouth. But I don't think that exists anymore. I'll bring it back. Fuck it.
Starting point is 02:09:54 I don't give a fuck. I'll bring it back. Because movies aren't the same the way that it was consumed. If I can do one more successful tour, I'll be clean, right? One more successful tour, I'm clean with money. I don't have to worry about money. And then I'll just be reckless as fuck. Like Tupac.
Starting point is 02:10:08 Yeah, you want it. You're going to go out like Tupac. That's what we love. Come on, man. We love the guys, and then we're not being the guys we loved. Why the fuck? I worked out with Arnold Schwarzenegger the other day, and he was the fucking movie star.
Starting point is 02:10:22 He's everything you wanted. No, no, no. He didn't shoot me up. But we worked out. But you watched him be a movie star. He's not an actor. He'll be back. But he's here. But this is the thing about Tupac. I would be glad
Starting point is 02:10:38 to not see Tupac with all those antics to still be here today because I think he would have been even greater. Okay, okay, okay. He got deep. That's a great conversation. all those antics to still be here today because I think he would have been even greater. Okay, okay, okay. He got deep, he got deep, he got deep. Hold on. He got deep.
Starting point is 02:10:48 That's a great conversation because that's a great conversation that's probably super dangerous to have right now. Yeah. Because I'm fucking hammered. Dave Chappelle. He's just saying that. Yeah, yeah, let's get out of here. Dave Chappelle or Jamie Foxx?
Starting point is 02:11:02 Fuck. Just take a shot? Dude, fucking, well, I mean, God, I mean, you're separating two bodies of work. Exactly. You're talking about

Starting point is 02:11:40 Oh, yeah, absolutely. Even though I heard he's home already. I heard he's already playing. I heard he's playing pickleball. Pickleball. We don't know what's going on. I heard he's already playing. Pick a ball. We don't know what's going on. But I tell you,
Starting point is 02:11:52 you don't got to talk about the D.A. Sheffields, do we? You can talk about D.A. Sheffields. Would you like to? D.A. Sheffields has my favorite joke I've ever seen in stand-up. Kick her in the pussy. It's my favorite joke I've ever seen in stand-up. It's my favorite joke. And look, I can like complex jokes.
Starting point is 02:12:05 I can like simple jokes. It's just a great joke because he got me. He got me. And Dave Chappelle is a fucking gangster. When he goes on stage, he's flawless, man. I'm a ride or die for him. Whatever the fuck he... I love that dude.

I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen Rinella.

So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app,
Starting point is 02:42:09 Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. No, I just remember I heard you answer. I like to put you guys on. I leave you guys on. So I'll just walk on my phone with you guys playing. Loyalty, respect. my phone with you guys playing uh loyalty respect so the answer my answer is look is is respect because uh no one's loyal no one's ever loyal they all they all turn on you everyone turns on you you have a handful of ride or dies that you can trust for the rest of your life and uh and
Starting point is 02:42:40 even then you're gonna have people in your team that fuck with them. They try to get you to not trust them. So you can't ever trust loyalty. You just can't. You just, just can't. Respect is a big fucking deal. When people respect you, they treat you different. I've seen it.
Starting point is 02:43:01 You remember what it was like to not be someone? And then all of a sudden you were someone? Yes. And then all of a sudden, like, people you didn't know treated you nicer, and you were like, wow, this is really cool. I've never experienced this. I would love to sit here on this podcast and say that I care about loyalty. I will be as loyal to, like, a handful of people in my life that I love.
Starting point is 02:43:26 Ultimately, you fire people that you love. You're fucked up. I mean, dude, yeah, respect's the thing. I've heard you ask this question before, and I got in the shower, and I literally thought about it in the shower. I was like, yeah, weird place to ask. Think about it. But I was like, loyalty, respect.
Starting point is 02:43:39 It's got to be respect. I'm not going to lie to you. You kind of changed my perspective because I've had situations too where it's people where I really showed loyalty to that didn't show me respect. Dude, I've been fucked by friends, by good friends. I've been fucked by them. The guys that you are like, we don't need to sign a contract. We're buddies.
Starting point is 02:43:58 Handshakes, right? Yeah, handshakes. And then all of a sudden money shows up and then things get weird and you're like, oh, maybe if you respected me more, you would have treated me differently. Cause I know that that's how they treated other people. So it kind of fucking sucks. I'll tell you this, like fucking Rogan's a dude. I can't say this enough about the guy, but like, he's a guy that is respect-based. If he respects you, he fucks with you.
Starting point is 02:44:26 If he doesn't respect you, he doesn't fuck with you. It's a weird thing because you practice to maintain that respect. You don't talk shit about him. You're careful with your words. I can talk shit about any of my friends, but I know he's my guy. Every one of his friends is fucking killing it. Anyone he fucks with kills it. Right.
Starting point is 02:44:51 God, man, I'm fucking wasted. But let me ask you. Shoot. Shoot. I'm wasted, but let me ask you. Let me see. Which one I'm going to go with. I want to be you guys and not fly tonight.
Starting point is 02:45:06 We do. Yeah. Okay, so you said asshole, dick, and balls is the Middle East? Yeah. Yeah. What does that mean? The Middle East. The Middle East is the asshole, dick, and balls.
Starting point is 02:45:23 Is that Middle East of the anatomy? First of all, it's a, I might be too stupid to say this, the double entendre. Right, double. It's the birthplace of the world, right? In reality. In reality. It's the breadbasket of the world. Yeah, the breadbasket of the world is where the world started.
Starting point is 02:45:40 Asshole dick and balls. I should have said pussy, but it's the fucking place that created the world that is Mesopotamia right North Africa right yeah but I also imagine
Starting point is 02:45:51 I've been I've never been there but I imagine it doesn't smell the best I'm sure yeah there's places that smell
Starting point is 02:45:58 just fine oh no there's not there's a lot of places that smell really bad have you traveled a lot I have okay tell me places
Starting point is 02:46:04 you've been. Vietnam, Colombia, South Africa. Did it smell great? Vietnam's like a weird smelling place. It smelled different. It smelled bad. It smelled different. No, no, Vietnam smells crazy.
Starting point is 02:46:15 It's like so many flavors coming at you. It's different herbs. And everyone's energy is like. I love Vietnam. My dad fought in the war, so I went to literally where he fought. Have you been to Japan? No, I haven't. Okay, so then you go to Japan. It's I love Vietnam. My dad fought in the war, so I went to literally where he fought. Have you been to Japan? No, I haven't. Okay, so you go to Japan.
Starting point is 02:46:27 It's opposite of Vietnam. For sure. When you travel around the world... By the way, that's the first time I've been in Japan. I've seen cleaning crew three times.
Starting point is 02:46:36 Well, I've been to Japan in a layover. It's the cleanest, cleanest, cleanest. In Japan, no one speaks on the subways. They all hold hands and they just don't speak.
Starting point is 02:46:43 Then you go to Vietnam and it's fucking... People are putting fingers in your mouth. They're hold hands and they just don't speak. Then you go to Vietnam and it's fucking, people are putting fingers in your mouth. They're the Cubans of Southeast Asia for sure. There's an analogy to me. For sure,
Starting point is 02:46:51 they're loud. Did you say Cuban? They're the Cubans. I'm Cuban. I can say that. All my best friends are Cuban. So like, I'm really good at like,
Starting point is 02:47:00 so then, all right, let's not do this. No, go ahead. Go ahead. No. Go ahead. So then what are the Mexicans?
Starting point is 02:47:06 Because when we moved to L.A., my best friend was Cuban, and he did not like being... I was born in L.A., so I was raised around some Mexicans. So then, because this is not stuff white guys should be saying out loud. But one of the things is, when Cubans step foot on this country, they're American citizens. When Mexicans step foot on this country, they're not American citizens. Even though they're stepping foot in old Mexico, which is wild. Which is wild. Wild.
Starting point is 02:47:34 And my buddy was super privy. Like he witnessed the difference. Like he would say to me, I've never seen more people speak in Spanish. Like in Miami, people speak Spanish. Hialeah is only Spanish. Yeah, yeah. But in Florida, Cubans don't speak Spanish in front of, like, they always speak English. Unless you're in Hialeah, they don't know English.
Starting point is 02:47:54 In Hialeah and Miami, it's different. Right, right. But in, like, Tampa. Oh, yeah, yeah, no. The Cubans, when they graduate to being American, they start moving north. By the way, this shit amazes me more than anything. Like, I love talking about this because it's so fascinating. He was like, when we moved to LA, he was like, dude, Mexicans speak Spanish like we're in Miami.
Starting point is 02:48:14 They'll speak Spanish in front of white people. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was crazy. But what do you think the Mexican dudes, what's their country in the world? In Asia. I don't know, bro. Cambodia. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:48:28 I really don't know. I have to think about that. Let me ask you. So Oliver Stone bought your life, right? Yeah. The segue is amazing. And did he try to get you high of cocaine? And you thought that they tried to get you high of cocaine to die?
Starting point is 02:48:41 So you have an Indian story? Yeah, yeah. Is this true? Oliver Stone is a wild pony. It actually was a good segue from Vietnam to Oliver Stone, to be honest with you. That actually connects. It connects really good. I was a journalist?
Starting point is 02:48:54 That's a really good story. So we ended up with one of the- At Beverly Hilton? The- No, no, no. The Carlisle. Cocaine everywhere. A pile of cocaine in a penthouse suite.
Starting point is 02:49:09 And I was sitting with one of the writers. And he was like, so what's your story? How does this end? And I was like, I don't know. He's like, what's the end of the story? And I was like, I have no fucking idea. And he's like, we should do more cocaine. And so we kept doing cocaine.
Starting point is 02:49:24 To get an idea. And he's like, we should do more cocaine. And so we kept doing cocaine. To get an idea. And I had just seen the premiere of the movie Magnolia with Tom Cruise. And I'm sitting in this, the Argyle is the name of the hotel, the Argyle. And we're doing cocaine in the penthouse. And I end up in the bathroom.
Starting point is 02:49:40 And there was a private entrance from the elevator to the lobby. And so I was like i need to get the fuck out of here i go i think they're trying to kill me i think they're trying to kill me to get the end of the story is that i die in a hotel in hollywood and i as so many hollywood actors it happens yeah yeah so i got in the hotel i got in the elevator i hit the elevator i got down to the floor i'm high as fuckers on cocaine.

Starting point is 03:02:48 We're like, yo, we're going to... Get your ass back. Listen, I said it earlier because I don't want to offend nobody who actually really thinks they have an addiction. I just don't believe being an addict is a real world. I think that if you're in control of your life, you can actually
Starting point is 03:03:04 do whatever the fuck you want. That's not fair to addicts. It's a real addict. No, no, no. You know what it is? We're like skinny people talking to fat people. We don't have a problem with it. As a fat person,
Starting point is 03:03:18 I go, yeah, how the fuck am I losing weight? Yeah, your skinny friend is the same as you and they're skinny. You're fat. I don't listen to people who's never been married giving me marriage advice. Yeah. So I'm not going to listen to people who never
Starting point is 03:03:29 really got drunk. Oh, well, that's different. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's different. That's not different. That is the same. No, that is different. Like, people who've never...
Starting point is 03:03:36 I'm just saying, you're saying there's no such thing as addiction. Of course there is. No, I don't... That's why I'm careful of saying that because what I mean is
Starting point is 03:03:44 I feel like you're in control. If you're a real man... No, that's because that's because we are. That's because we are. That's because I'm careful of saying that because what I mean is I feel like you're in control. If you're a real man... No, that's because we are. We are. That's because we are. That's because we are. No, he's saying because you are. I know, I know.
Starting point is 03:03:52 Are you saying us in particular? Those people aren't. I've seen the people that aren't. I've seen people that addiction is actually a disease. Yeah. I've seen them... It's because we are.
Starting point is 03:03:59 It's a crazy thing is that we are and I cannot understand it when people lose control. I don't get it. I go, don't you think about your family? Or don't you think about work? Even tonight, I've been fairly measured with the way I drink. I know I have a press junket in the
Starting point is 03:04:18 morning. I know I have a flight tonight. I know I won't drink probably much on the flight tonight. That's because we are. We got super fucking lucky. We got really lucky in that we get to enjoy our shit. And if you're lucky, enjoy your luck. Try to understand those people that are lucky. But at the same time, I get exactly what you're fucking saying.
Starting point is 03:04:37 Because you know what? Like I said, I feel like I know you, right? Even though this is my first time. I feel like I know you. I've listened to so much of you guys. Leanne, right, who is your wife, reminds me of Nary, who is my you, right? Even though I've, this is my first time. I feel like I know you. I've listened to so much of you guys. Leanne, right?

Starting point is 03:05:05 No, but what I'm saying went too far. Is that what we're talking about? Is that what we're talking about? No, you went too far. You went too far. You went too far. No, but what I'm saying is she supports my dumb ideas, my genius ideas, and that's kind of all we want. And it's like, I love that. I love that I have a supportive wife. So is that, you think, a part of it? Oh, without a doubt. My wife realized she wasn't going to change me. She was going to fall in love with me.
