welcome to another episode of dumb blonde today I have one of my favorite guests back on the podcast and i'm so happy that he has blessed us with his presence again Mr. Josh wolf is in the house. What's up? What's up, baby? Can I tell you first of all how excited I was to come back here our last conversation Felt, you know, there was a point in time where I forgot I was sitting in front of a microphone and there were lights know there was a point in time where i forgot i was sitting in front of a microphone and there were lights like it was a legit straight up talk there aren't very many of those where you forget that you're performing like not performing but you're on air

yeah yeah yeah and so it was fantastic but new beautiful studio i i stroked your furry wall yeah let's say so thank you for the compliments, by the way, because I really try to create a safe space for everybody to just come and hang and, you know, talk their shit. Well, it's because you're so brutally honest and authentic that you... Do you want to make out, Josh? Can we just lock that? Yeah, lock the door over there.

Turn the lights down low, baby. Let's go. can we just lock that yeah lock the door over there turn the lights down low baby you know but that's you have no other you have to be that with you because i feel like if someone came in wearing a mask you would be like what are you i'll break it down yeah yeah what are you doing this is not what this is for i appreciate that absolutely speaking but back to the furry wall so josh walks in and the first thing he does is go, he goes, Oh, I love this furry wall. And he started stroking it. And I'm like, okay, dude's high. And he's like, I did mushrooms last night. Take me on this journey. Well, you know, I like a drug or two and I'm not somebody that dabbles in it. Like I'm not in, I'm, I don't like,

I've never been a guy who's like, let's have a drink right i don't know what the point of that is we're getting fucked up yeah yeah right that's yeah exactly and so he actually told me once jelly told me once he was like you're the only dude where i've questioned do i really want to do mushrooms with this guy oh because i like to just take them yeah all of them i who goes home with drugs no and that's how my husband is too but sometimes he'll he has a limit when it comes to hallucinogenics he definitely has a limit last night i i ate mushrooms on stage you're a fucking savage i fucking love it how do you how there's so many people around don't you doesn't it like yeah but i love the tightrope feeling right okay i've done it for a long time so you know sometimes i'm like let's see what happens

right do you know what's the worst thing that could happen i make an asshole of myself yeah that's happened every day of my life right do you know what i mean so what so but you know what mushrooms recently have done for me like i will take them and sometimes i take them and i like to actually be by myself which i think is crazy because they normally say when you trip and i don't know a lot about mushrooms i know i dabbled in them and we'll talk about that too um but when you take mushrooms don't they say that you need like a trip buddy? I mean, sure. He's like, I guess. But sometimes I take them just to, I don't know, have conversations with myself. Yeah. Okay.

I took, there were two trips. Yo, that changed so many things with me. Yeah. One, I took them. So I'll take them. I'll go to my hotel room. I'll turn off all the lights and i get under the covers and i try to solve problems with myself yeah and one i was

on a little trip under my covers and i feel like i was under there for like 30 35 minutes and then i got out from under the covers and i said out loud i forgive you i was talking to people who i felt like when i was younger i used to hold on to this person did me wrong or this, but they're not thinking about you. Yeah. The only person you're weighing down is yourself with that shit. Right. Yeah.

And I said out loud, I forgive you and I hope you all forgive me. So forever, whoever thought that I wronged them, I just wanted to clean slate and know that I'm, I forgive you. And I woke up the next morning feeling lighter. I was like, but there's something off my plate

here. Yeah. Right. And so I kept diving back down this other time because you've been okay. Just for a point of perspective, Josh, you came on the podcast. What, like two years ago? Probably. Okay. And if you guys want to recircle back to listen to that podcast, it's just a Josh Wolf podcast.

It's amazing, but you can hear more of his story. But in that podcast, you were talking about how you were just starting to dabble in shrooms, right? Yes. Yeah. So you've evolved from just dabbling to full on having tent sessions under your blanket. That's the name of my next album the josh wolf the tent session your fucking blankets yo okay the next okay the next thing that happened yeah so i was a dude at one point in my life

who could get the ball up to the 10 yard line. I was really good at it, but there was something in me that didn't feel like I was good enough or deserved to take it to the goal line. Yeah. And one 10th session. You're forever going to call it a 10th session. Like you're doing peyote in the forest. One of the 10 sessions, I started arguing with that part of me.

Nice. And I ended up leaving the 10th session saying, I don't fucking need you anymore. Is it like an ego death almost? Yeah. Whatever it is, whatever it was, fear of success, fear of failure, whatever it was, fear of putting my best foot forward because then people were actually going to judge me. Whatever that was, I said out loud, I don't need you anymore. However I picked that up, wherever I picked that up, I don't want to see you ever again.

Whatever, and I was speaking to it like it was an entity. And the next day different person i've changed so much in the last two years yeah like you seem a lot happier i'm so happy and peaceful i i feel like a peacefulness on you it's so crazy yeah i'm gonna tell you the craziest thing that has happened to me okay okay i don't know how i was in austin texas i got off the plane and i just started to feel angry i'm not an angry dude in my rental car punching the roof of my car angry oh my gosh i get to the hotel room no drugs and i'm in bed and i'm just angry. So I say out loud at one point, hey, because I've heard about this stuff. And, you know, I had somebody tell me, you meet a lot of people.

You probably pick up energies. Do you believe that? Oh, absolutely. So I was like, I just said out loud, hey, if there's something in me, on me, please leave. Yeah. And it was almost felt like I felt something. Okay. Grip onto me.

So then I was like, I said it out loud again because I'm not this dude. I was like, Hey, kind of joking. You can leave me now. Right. I ended up, Oh, this was the craziest thing. I was pushing down my arm and flicking. I felt like there was something in, like I was physically wrestling with something that was in me. And I was trying to flick it out of my, at one point I had ordered pizza before all this stuff happened.

And I'm in my room. Angry pizza order. I'm screaming, get the fuck, I'm arguing with this thing. And you're not tripping. Not tripping not sober okay and in in like at one point like I made this noise I'm not I don't make noises like a growly deep and I was like oh fuck and I'm screaming and I hear this pounding I'm like get out of here and then I just heard pizza and i was like sorry brb spirit i was like leave it by the

front door i'm arguing with a demon you know what i mean but i'm i'm flicking flicking flicking get out flick i'm sweating oh my goodness and um i just fell back in my bed, pool of sweat. I felt a little lighter, but I, but still felt dark in the room. And then about 45 minutes, I shot up like it had jumped back into me. This is the two years of just clarity and almost like cleansing myself. And I was like arguing with this fucking thing again, pushing it out of my body, flicking my fingers, flicking my fingers. And then it felt like somebody turned on the lights in the room and that like it was still. Wow. And I felt peace.

Wow. And all these things, I don't know whether it's whatever was inside of me that, that I didn't feel good about myself, but I have pushed all of it out of my body because it doesn't, it doesn't serve me. And when I look at what I have, I've stopped looking at what I don't have. Right. Which is what I think a lot of us do. You get mired in what you don't have.

Yes. And you know what I have? I have a fucking beautiful wife. I have a... She is a baddie, you guys. And just a sweet human the kindest person yeah i have three great kids i have two parents who are still alive and married i have three great brothers i have a great family i get to do what i've always dreamed of doing yeah and so like

it's been perspective over these two years where I'm like, I'm never thinking about what I don't have ever again because I have so much. And yeah, dude, it's, and when I saw you two years ago, I was literally, I was sicker than I've ever been in my life. Yeah. Let's talk about that. So I remember when you had came on the podcast, um, even Mimi and I had said, I was like, man, he just doesn't look like he feels good. And then I went home and I had said I was like man he just doesn't look like he feels good And then I went home and I told Jay I was like hey is Josh okay And he was like yeah I think so 145 pounds is what I weighed

Yeah you were tiny I remember the color of your skin though I even told Jay I was like he's kind of like gray I was like is he okay And he's like I think he's doing a new diet You know how guys are Guys are always like trying to make excuses he's on a diet bitch don't ask questions can i tell you it's such a great thing women are in for details yeah

like my oldest son proposed to his girl right and he told me yeah and so beth goes how did he do it i go i don't know she goes what does the ring look like i'm like and she said these are details i'm like what i just needed the headline yeah and jay is the same way he was like i don't i didn't ask yeah i had this really severe mercury poisoning oh my gosh i had it was covid right so i cracked a tooth and i'm an old dude so we have silver fillings. Right. And I swallowed the filling. Oh my God. New fear unlocked. So like when I did some research, I was like, well, it's COVID. I'm not going to like, nobody's taking appointments and I'll be fine.

But it turns out the mercury, it fucked me up. Wow. So you had a filling, you swallowed it. Cracked the tooth, swallowed half of it. So not only was I eating half of it, but the other half was just constantly draining into my. And it just fucked me up. Wow. How did you find out that it was the mercury? First of all, I was like, I told my dentist, I'm like, I should probably come in.

He was like, what's going on? And I told him, he was like, dude, you need to be here tomorrow. Oh, wow. You need to be here tomorrow. We need to get out of your mouth tomorrow and so he said you need to go get your mercury levels tested too and i went the doctor was like yeah do you just suck on tuna fish all day like what like what what are you doing tuna fish enemas yeah and so like he was like yeah you need to get this out of your body but i i feel better and like no your coloring is awesome i look at pictures from that time and i'm like oh this dude when people were were like why does wolf look like he's got a foot in

the grave i was like what are you talking about and i was now i look back i'm like yikesy golly though thank you know thankfully that you fucking found out that it was that because most people go for testing all the time and they can't figure out what's wrong with them so the fact that they pinpointed that it was mercury immediately amazing yeah i'm and like i'm glad that i don't look like like like a Tom Hanks-y Philadelphia, but it wasn't great. No, you definitely didn't look like you were feeling good, but I'm so happy to hear about this awakening and just this health kick that you're doing now. And like, so what has changed in the past two years though?

Comedy wise, you've brought like your son in and let's talk about it. So it's been my favorite two years of my career. When I let go of all that stuff and about what I didn't have and what I do have, the universe rewards you. Abundantly. Do you know what I mean? No, I've had to change my way of looking because I'm the same way. I'm always working towards the next goal. Right.

And I this year have literally had to sit back and kind of reassess a lot of things and I've learned I've started meditating and doing all that shit and it's helped so much but when you appreciate what's already here and you don't want for anything else the universe just starts fucking throwing shit your way crazy that like almost instantly the word abundance that you use is that was that purposeful yes yeah yeah right because thinking of abundance as opposed to scarcity right you're that's what you're inviting in yeah but when you're constantly worried about like is money to come in or it's not? No, you're not letting it. You're blocking, you're blocking your blessings by doing that. Absolutely.

Tell me a little bit about the meditation. Do you meditate on things? Do you go in with a purpose? You just sit in. So I know you're supposed to like set an intention and have a reason for meditating. I'm new to it. I've literally been doing it probably. This is going into my second month. I suffer from severe, severe anxiety and I have, you know, depression and stuff like that. So I, my, I guess my intent every time I sit down is to be able to get through the day without fucking having panic attacks. So I, when I sit down, I visualize I'm a visualizer.

I visualize breathing in and I visualize blowing out color. And when I blow out, it's like, if I'm having anxiety, I blow out red glitter. And then I keep, I keep meditating and breathing until the glitter goes like white, you know?

And so I can, but it really works. And like, I've been trying to tell people, I tell everybody, I'm like, you guys got to fucking meditate bitches. You works and like i've been trying to tell people i tell everybody i'm like you guys gotta fucking meditate bitches you know like literally i'm trying to preach it to people because i didn't believe it at first and it really does fucking work and for somebody like me who literally it's a battle to get through the day with the fucking shit that i have meditation has really helped so much with that. That's amazing. I have such a hard time not falling asleep.

Yeah. I'm just like, I'm going to meditate. Yeah. I guess when you're as amped up as I am, I'm literally fight or flight all day long. It's like I need that break to fucking be able to come down and feel not low, but relaxed, I guess you could say. So, yeah, I love meditating. My meditation, I think like I take a morning walk with my dog every morning. I think that feels more like...

That's grounding. You're going outside in nature and just grounding, feeling the air. Can I tell you how much I love Vegas? Oh, Vegas is so cool, right? I... Yeah, okay, so you moved. We moved. You were living in Nashville last time you were here?

We were living in Nashville. And then you moved to Vegas right after. Yeah, you know what nobody tells you when you move to nashville is how shitty the weather is it is so fucking depressing what the fuck it's not in the brochure no it's like come to nashville everybody is so nice i never had depression until i moved to nashville there's no sunshine no sunshine fucking allergies up the wazoo. Like, it's really bad. Beautiful state. Beautiful. They complain about people moving here.

Just put the weather forecast. Nobody's going to fucking come. Yeah. You know what I mean? Oh, by the way, on the same day, it's going to snow, hail. Sleep. Sleep. Yeah.

And then a tornado is coming through. And then it will be sunny by 5. You're like, what? And then you get 45 minutes of sunshine because with clouds. I don't know about you. I was expecting when I hear Nashville, I'm like, oh, that's the South. It's Midwest weather. Yeah.

No, it's terrible. Straight up. That has a lot to do with my mental health too. That's why I'm always traveling. When I travel, I'm fine. You ask my friends, like literally as soon as I get out of here, if I'm in Vegas for two days, I'm like, God, I feel so much better.

Beth was the same way. Wow. When she was here, she was like, I'm just blue. She was like, I'm just down. We get to Vegas. She was like, I fucking love it here. The sunshine, the desert. All sunshine.

The food. Yo, this is how I know I'm getting older. When people are like, how's Vegas? I'm like, the food's great. Yeah. They have really good food there save the buffets everything is great man oh the best steaks i will tell you one thing about vegas that i didn't know yeah is the cricket grasshopper situation oh yeah no they're and they're fucking they're out there that's a plague that if it's like or is the world about this locust wait till the locusts come out by the way what i hate the most about those creatures is how dumb they are they just fly right into your

oh yeah they don't fucking face it's a fucking suicide mission every time yeah literally they're wearing those little japanese like literally did you were you there the year because i heard there was a year where it was like you looked up in the sky and it was bad it was just blanketed and that the the i heard the casino was like you know when the doors would open automatically yes thousands of these bugs would just fly in yeah were you there during that apocalyptic i yes yes i lived through the apocalypse of vegas um yeah so i didn't leave vegas until 2017 ish and then that's when i came to nashville but we just bought a house in vegas yeah we bought a house in vegas last year so now we have a house out there yo that's right near where we so wow we got a house we wanted to see

where we wanted to live and this is when i knew i'm like this is the spot I said hey babe let's rent for a year and decide we don't know anything about Vegas so smart yeah she found a five bedroom never lived in before 3200 square foot house yeah for three thousand dollars a month yeah that's Vegas yes this is the spot where we need to be oh yeah same baby Josh and his wife are literally live by daddy just walked in. Let's go. Josh came in stroking the. He's getting buff. Baby.

What's that? What are y'all talking about? Vegas life? Well. I figured that didn't take long. Yeah. Well, Josh was talking about his shroom trip. Last night, man. Oh, every time I've ever seen him. So, baby, remember last time? I don't know Josh not to do mercury poisoning. Remember last time Josh was here, how I said he looked sick?

He had fucking mercury poisoning. That was what it was, man. You remember when you were like, dude, you just like thin legs with a couple abs? Yeah, dude. I was sick, man, but feeling so much better now, dude. Doesn't he look so much better, too? I took a bunch of mushrooms last night. You know how that goes.

He came in and immediately started stroking the furry wall. You want to try it? Are you good? Yo, dude. I took a bunch of mushrooms last night. You know how that goes. He came in and immediately started stroking the furry wall. He's like, oh, I'm still feeling the rivulets. You want to see it? Are you good? No, I'm rolling. Yo, dude. I just didn't want to not see my friend. Yeah.

For what it's worth, I never come over here. Yeah, ever. I've been here for three times. Three people ever have been here that I'm like, all right, I got to come see them. Yeah. Can I tell you, that record you put up on the wall at Zany's is so dope, dude. Oh, dude. That is so cool i was just saying that it

was the most emotion i had ever seen someone get out of a crowd from singing a song like it was 300 people crying oh dude it was 300 people crying yes it was it was such an emotional special moment and because it was the first time you had done it in front of a crowd, I felt like that emotion came straight out of you into them. Yeah, dude, that was spectacular. I watched this song change my life, but had yet to experience it. You know what I mean? Dude, there were, there were,

I had like seen this song like changing my life but i had yet to like experience that you know because of the pandemic josh was saying that literally watching the growth in the past two years since that moment has just been phenomenal people come up to him now and they're like so that jelly roll guy and he's like i've been fucking telling you yeah i was like you weren't listening before but yeah man it's been it's been so inspirational even at my old age dude right to see two people being exactly who they are and being exactly who they are and i'm sure coming up having everybody be like you can't be this dude and be successful you can't be this woman and be successful and the two of you definitely can't be together and be america's sweethearts and you guys were both like eat my and now he's a country singer josh yeah dude but now he's wearing

a fucking rapper you knew i was country i mean but i thought we were hip-hop for life can i tell you the biggest change that's my marriage in a nutshell right there i mean we have the beth and i have a lot of the same yeah can i ask you because this is what i found for beth and i that a lot of people like how do you do it being apart how do you do it being together every day yeah do you know what being apart does it reminds me how much i like you absolutely and the fact that you guys can be your own people away from each other and then come together and be your own people like that speaks volumes that's a healthy marriage i think so too like i look at people who have to be no judgment i guess yeah none but who have to

be together all the time i can't do it that doesn't seem healthy to me like it's codependent isn't it important to you to be your own own person within the relationship absolutely yes and for me what i one of the things that i love the most about beth is that she doesn't need me that she is a confident human being away from me absolutely this is all positive this is how i knew that we were gonna last because i was like oh she didn't i don't when i'm on the road i don't feel like i need to call her yeah six times a day do you know what i mean oh no i know she's good there's literally days that i don't talk to jay until almost like especially on tour if i'm not with him i won't hear from him till midnight yeah and when he calls me this is what he says baby i

love you i've had i was just thinking about you i've had a really long day where i've had to talk to people all day love you baby i'll talk to you tomorrow and literally that's that's how we are and like if i have to if i'm doing a podcast run and i've talked to like fucking six people in a day he'll call me and i'll be like baby i'm just decompressing and he'll be like cool call me when you can and you know like we give each other that space you have to be able to have space but still have that connection and i think that's like a best friend thing did you come into the relationship with that skill set? No, fuck no. I had to learn it. It was, I came from a very abusive relationship. So I had a lot of baggage I had to unpack where I was, I don't want to say super jealous, but I was just like very controlling. I needed to know everything, every detail, what was going on, you know, and Jay and I ended up splitting in 2018 because he had an

affair for almost like a year behind my back. And that really taught me a lot. Like instead of me blaming my husband, like, Oh, it's all your fault. I had to look within and be like, okay, what am I doing wrong that this has happened? And so it was pretty much like an ego death for me too. I had to read and him too. And we have just grown tremendously from it and we're each other's best friends and you know it's it's just cool we have a cool thing can i ask what i'm sure you did your own work but what did he do to help reassure you to be comfortable and confident in the relationship for two years he went through hell with me after the affair where i literally fucking did not trust him i mean i would fucking yell scream i don't even raise my voice in our house anymore i think in the past three years i have i've raised my voice never i

don't i can't even think of one time like we don't yell at each other anymore we talk you know he had a lot of toxic traits too that he had came with. So we literally had to help each other unpack baggage. But you know, that two years he went to a lot of therapy and he had a lot of patience and a lot of just like, baby, I'm here for you. I love you. I, you know, what I did was wrong. And, um, anytime I had a problem with it, if I felt insecure, he would correct it. He wouldn't yell at me. He wouldn't get mad at me. It was just a lot of love. He really healed me with a lot of love. Like he, he's like, yes, I know I fucked up, but I'm still, I'm going to let you get it out and get over it. And I'm going to reassure you every time you need me to. And that's exactly what he did. And then one, there

was one day that I just never even thought about it anymore. I find your husband and it's one of the reasons that I'm not just why I like him, but why I think a lot of people like him. This is going to sound so basic. He's one of the most human people I've ever met. He is. I always say he's an angel on earth. He's so present. You know, there, there are some people, you know self-aware but also when he when he's speaking to you he really makes you feel like you know there's nobody else in the world it's me and you right now yeah it's such a comforting feeling for someone to be that present when they're speaking to you? Cause most people aren't. Well, he zeroes in. He, um, Jay is the type of guy who moves and speaks with intention. So if he gives you five minutes of his time, it's because he intentionally wants to be there and wants to know what you have to say. And

even though it might only be five minutes, you've got your five minutes, you know? And that's what I love about my husband is he's not, he doesn shuck people it's not a facade literally what you see is what you get it's and you know he said something to me it's funny that in this he said to me when he i texted him one day and he showed up at zany's and he was like hey don't i don't text anybody he doesn't and i said to him i don't sweat that shit yeah and he said we're gonna be good friends i was like because you know people have their own life yeah and i one thing that also in these last couple years that i've you have no control over how anybody reacts to you or how they feel about you how they receive your joke how they receive your song how they receive your podcast all you can do is what you like yeah exactly and then how they react is a hundred percent up to them you know i have some friends and some people that

you know i'm not going to mention on the pod but that it bothered me that we weren't what i would consider friends anymore but then i was just like, people are in your life in different chapters. Yeah. Literally, we were just talking about that. I said, literally, life is a highway and you're driving down it and people are going to hop on and hop off. Like the people who are successful can keep going to the next chapter. Yeah. And not live. Yo, we all know people who when you see them, they talk about high school.

Yeah. They're stuck in that chapter. I call them Al Bundy. Yeah. Literally. Yeah about high school yeah they're stuck in that chapter that's their call them al bundy's yeah yeah literally yeah the bundy's are stuck in that chapter and so their life doesn't progress but when you look at it not as a death it's not a funeral that was the part of your life this is now a different part of your life and so you mourn like that person right but like you've done that that thing that that person did to you not did to but right you're that person in somebody else's book right yeah and so like when you start to let go all that stuff it's it's it's freeing oh my it's freeing and it's and i'm

learning that too because you know i, I love people so much. And when I bring them close to me, if like, you know, something goes wrong or we have a bad falling out, I'm like, I say, I personally take that on. And I'm like, how, you know, like, how did this happen? And I always try to like figure it out and I'm learning it's a process, but you have to just let go. Did you like, so because you do, it's such a crazy combination of somebody with a seemingly tough exterior so it is that tough exterior the the safety net like the thing that

you used because you're also very sensitive if you're taking other people's stuff on oh yeah did you put the do you think that toughness comes from like i can't let anyone see what i'm taking on or what i'm feeling well i was in an abuse i had a really abusive childhood i had a stepmother who if she beat me and i cried it was what are you crying for don't cry. You don't cry in this house. So I had to learn how to mask how I felt even as a child. So when I did leave home at 14, when I was on the streets, the only big badass that I had was me. So it was like, I had to protect myself. And I couldn't, if you show vulnerability on the street, are you kidding me? Like, especially at 14, people would eat you alive,

you know? So I think it's always something that I've taken through life, but I'm also not a pushover either. So it's like, you know, you know, it's like, I don't know if it's more of like a mask or if it's, it's a part of me just, you know, I don't let people in so easily, you know? And it's like, you have to work to get to know me, but it's like, once you're in, in you're in and I think that's why I get so hurt when people get close to me and like something happens because I'm like god damn yeah we've been through some shit yeah you know but enough about me I have one more question for you you know what Josh are you interviewing me or what's going on I'm super curious about this yeah go ahead so as having a being on the street at 14 abusive stepmom, were you nervous about being a mom?

Oh, I never wanted kids. I never wanted kids. Was that because of your experience? I'm not sure because ever since I was a little girl, I always remember saying, I want to be a business woman. I want to have a business. I never wanted the white picket fence. I never thought about having a husband.

Like I never thought about any of that. It was always just me wanting to fucking be hot and make money and be on my own. And that's literally what I did. I literally have manifested my life. And actually I'm lying. Whenever I was a kid, I always said I wanted to be Tani Katane and I wanted to have a rock star husband come on dude one of the best music videos of all literally is that the sexiest you know who else tawny katane and bobby brown from cherry pie yes yes bobby brown was so hot dude we we saw warrant in san antonio oh my gosh it was warrant firehouse and i forget the other Trickster yeah yeah yeah wow so that was the tour

what a blast from the past and so at the end of the Warrant Warrant close it out yeah and what was his name Janie Lane I think

I forget yeah yeah yeah he goes hey everybody sang the song he goes let's go watch my girlfriend Bobby Brown strip at P.T.'s

it was in San Antonio you've never seen people run out of a she was hot oh she was beautiful my god a gorgeous fucking blonde bombshell that cherry pie video yeah i mean just iconic yeah she was pamela before pamela was pamela did you watch that documentary i did and you know what i've always loved pam me too pam has always been my bitch but i feel like that documentary finally got to show people how women in the industry are used and abused.

And, you know, it's sad because she's one of the most iconic women in the world. But yet she's fucking got paid. What? How much did she get paid for Baywatch? I forget. It was like forty thousand dollars or something. Nothing. Just crazy.

I was blown away and I had never thought of this by how the sex tape was kind of good for tommy but wasn't for her but drowned her career yeah no it was just very sad it was a different time in the world yeah you know because nowadays it would have catapulted her you know whereas back then now it's you know we're learning that it literally just suffocated her crazy and i'm friends with with britney and tommy's yeah new wife and what a wonderful woman she is and i love britney yeah i've talked super funny yeah she's hilarious really creative i think she's perfect for him too but i was as i watched that because i know Brittany and I don't know Pam all I was thinking was if I'm Brittany watching this

do you know what I mean yeah because it was part of it was a love letter to Tommy yeah a lot of it was hurtful it's such a fascinating everybody's business it's a different time everybody's business is on the fucking table right now

yeah no it's crazy everybody's trying to expose everybody Everybody's business is on the fucking table right now. Yeah, I know. It's crazy. Everybody's trying to expose everybody, which I think is fucking weird. I don't. Or expose themselves. Yeah. You know the difference? People now.

Can you get me an ice thing? I'm like hot for some reason. Can we turn this fan on? I think you asking me questions got my anxiety going. I get nervous. I got put on the hot seat. I find you. You're a my anxiety going. I get nervous. I got put on the hot seat. I find you, you're a very fascinating person. I appreciate that.

Like you're multifaceted. Both you and Jay are like, there's so many layers. I'm not used to people questioning me. So I like, woo. I was like, wow. And I know it came from a loving place, but that's how bad my mental health is. I get anxiety so easily.

It's crazy. Do you, and if I ask you a question, is that's how bad my mental health is is like i get anxiety so easily it's crazy do you and if i ask you a question is that you're fine i'm gonna have to work through it is the anxiety like you're gonna say the wrong answer no i don't know what it where it comes from what would you say mimi sorry i honestly don't know i haven't tried listening to her life story a couple times and she's tried saying it yeah and i always get like real i don't know if it's like triggering just from i don't know sorry that your podcast has turned into my but you're but you're such an inspirational i'm over here for glimpse yeah yeah yeah yeah because when I talk about it

I just get so like oh it's crazy I get like out of my body I will tell you it's it I'm 100% positive

that not if it's inspirational for me that there are people who had similar backgrounds who find solace and like can be like I can do that yeah

do you know what I mean? So, and I don't really talk about my life story. I haven't talked about it yet. We're actually, WME is working on a book deal for me right now to do that. So when I do get to share like moments of my life, I think I just get like,

I tried to do mushrooms, but I, so after I saw you, remember I was taking all those vitamins and stuff. I overdosed on B12 and vitamin D and it fucking ended up having to go to the hospital. Yes. And then I was micro dosing and the fucking, uh, mushrooms like made me super depressed. Really? Yeah. Oh boy. Yeah. yeah i never heard the super depressed mushroom thing like they because they use them for depression right what was it did it make you get real interest introspective i don't know i don't know if it was because i was on so many supplements at the time and it just like didn't mix with it or what but it was just it was not a good concoction yeah we it was bad i mean it had that

same effect on you too didn't it yeah like um i was but i also smoked a lot of weed with it i don't feel like that was the issue but yeah like i was trying microdosing too for like a while like much longer yeah than her and like i feel like my depression almost got worse like i got into a really dark place and i don't know if maybe i should have worked through the like a while, like much longer than her. And like, I feel like my depression almost got worse. Like I got into a really dark place and I don't know if maybe I should have worked through the dark place so I could come out on the other end of it. Has that ever happened to you? Yeah. Okay.

But like I've done it enough where I am at a point where I'll say, I don't want to think about that anymore. Let's think about it. Last night in my room, in the tent, don't want to think about that anymore let's think about it last night in my room in the tent i there were times where i closed my eyes and i was i was seeing some real dark shit and i would open my eyes and just say out loud i don't want to look at that anymore show me something else oh i've never tripped though like i've never done that this was borderline trip but you know one of the things that i really have started to believe is that

my brain is not in control of me it's not i'm in control of my brain absolutely and i think that's what i have to learn i i will say out loud i don't want to think about that anymore or i don't want to think about something fun so my new thing is is whenever i like normally if i'm not in front of people and i'm starting to have a panic attack. It's so funny to watch you rub the Fiji bottle. You guys, I'm having a full on panic attack. I'm feeling better though. But so what I do whenever I do feel an anxiety attack coming on in my brain, I say change.

That's it. And I've been trying to every time that happens, say change and I feel like now that I've been Doing it it comes on like harder. It's like my body's like oh, yeah, okay Well, we're gonna do this and it's like so now I'm like navigating through these panic attacks But I'm still like trying to rewire my brain. Yeah without any hallucinogenic so yeah That's the uphill climb. Yeah. Yeah, theinogenics have really been my maybe i just need to try shrooms again i won't do acid but maybe there's no you know my so jacob and i have been touring some yeah let's talk about this enough about me let's talk about you jacob one

day we were in portland and he said to me he goes hey you want to do some acid this afternoon and I was like okay and he and I just walked around the city I would tell you I have close relationship with all three of my kids it's different with all of them you know you guys want to hear the backstory about him and his children go listen to the other episode but Jacob touring with me has reinvigorated it's just me and him out we do two-man show I love and he's a funny motherfucker dude he's funny but Jacob touring with me has reinvigorated. It's just me and him out. We do two man show. I love it. And he's a funny motherfucker,

dude. He's funny. I mean, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Can I tell you one of the big, so we, we, um,

the meet and greet after the show, I, this is when I decided, I figured out, Oh, he's got fans. He, when we were in Australia,

we had this this so dude sold out tour of australia new zealand yeah he was getting standing ovations when he walked on the stage and i was like i'm not getting standing ovations and then my meet and greet line was like the soccer moms and his neat and he's just great line was just like this young hot cool and i'm like what you're, can we switch? Yeah. What is happening? You guys are really here for me.

Yeah. It's so crazy. But, but it has changed my entire, and then, you know, I like to torture him. So I don't let him get his own hotel room.

Yeah. It's just, I, I've named the tour one room, two beds. He fucking, he hates it. We'll get in the room and he'll sit on his bed.

Why won't you let him get his own room? I like to torture him. Yeah. Well that, and you can also keep a good eye on him. Yes. And I'll say to him, I'll go, dude, he was like, I just need my own room. I'm like, you can, I told him, I go, you can jerk off in the bathroom when I'm here. And he was like, I don't want to talk about this with you.

And I'm like, what do you think I'm doing in there for so long? He was like, I don't want to talk about this with you. And I'm like, what do you think I'm doing in there for so long? He's like, I don't want to talk about this with you. So whenever I go into the bathroom, right before I go in, I'll say, maybe I'm jerking off. Maybe I'm not. I think having Josh Wolfe for a dad would be fucking amazing. He's like, don't talk about that. I'm like, too late. How did he get into comedy

you know what's funny is i mean besides the obvious but i mean not everybody's a funny motherfucker you know and has delivery i think he likes um like it first just started just me and him on stage doing q a and then one day i said hey go on stage oh let's open up the show and i say say out loud you know my dad's been telling embarrassing stories about me my whole life you want to hear a couple about him because nobody tells embarrassing stories about me right and i was like and then just tell the worst ones you know and he did it one night and he just crushed um and I asked him, I go, you want to do this? It could just be me and you on the road. We don't need anybody else.

You open with those. And I said, do you ever want to do this by yourself? He's like, no, I like traveling with you. I'm not sure if this is what I want to do by myself. But the tandem of it has been so here's what he opens the show. I do like an hour stand up. We do like 15 minutes of Q&A. And then I do some guitar.

I love your songs. Do you know what else I've been doing? Gibson has been very good to me. I get a guitar at the beginning of every show. And I sign it and I give it away at the end of every show. Aww. And last night we gave it, Bunny. I almost cried on stage.

Last night at the show, there was this kid who was on the spectrum. And his mother had told me, he hasn't been out of the house in years. But he heard you were coming to town. So he's been gearing up. Because he doesn't like people and being around people. I feel him. Yeah, yeah. But he was, like people and being around people and I feel him. Yeah. Yeah. But he was like,

um, super nervous. And, um, so he came to my show in February when I was here and she told me this whole story and he reached out to me online and he was like, can I, can my mom and I come back?

But can we sit in the same seats? Cause I know I was okay in these seats. And last night we gave him the guitar. And this young man started to well up in a way that was like so humbling to me. Because you know what was important to me starting two years ago? I told Beth, I go, I might stop comedy. She said, why?

And I said, I really want to make a difference. She said said i think you're making more of a difference than you know people need comedy people need laughter yeah like i i bet you up until these two years jay didn't know the difference he made in people's lives right as an inspirational figure or somebody or it's just his music speaking to people and last night really was like one of those things where like my little dick jokes are making a difference for people. That was such a huge, I think it's your, your,

your ambience, your aura is healing also. Oh, thank you. So even though you're on stage talking about little dicks and stuff like that, you're still, people can take a break

out of their lives to just enjoy a moment and you are doing that for them i i also like i love what i do yeah i i like being on stage last yo last night was like we brought this 70 year old woman on stage it was her birthday and i gave her a bag of weed oh and she was like i'm smoking this with my family tonight i said all right yeah it was just a fucking good time we we are having such a good time how many more shows do you guys have are you guys you're still touring right now yeah is he with you he he doesn't he meets me in charlotte this weekend okay i was gonna say it. You should have brought him. I'm selling at my age.

Yeah. Selling more tickets than I ever have. And I think it goes back to what we were talking about the beginning. I'm just grateful for it. Yeah. And the universe is like, cool, here's some more. I'm like, I'm still grateful. And they're like, yeah, open your mouth.

Keep being grateful. Yeah. Fuck yeah. But now my oldest son has been coming around with me and my daughter and i are doing this thing online where i've never put makeup on anybody so she sent me a picture she was like i want you to make my face look like this yeah and so we're doing we're doing these makeup tutorials with me putting i didn't know you're supposed to use a sponge oh yeah i was using my whole hand like this for what it's worth i still do the hand method too okay i was like matting her on the face she's like you're

like a monkey like what are you doing but the whole family is like it's such a i feel so blessed it's just like a fucking you guys are kind of like a partridge family like everybody's got a personality everybody's got a part that they play a hundred percent i love that yeah a hundred percent i i i i'm i'm having more fun and you know what like i i thought i'd be done by now no you got a lot of life in you josh for an old dude you're not old listen your words are spells and you have to stop saying that i'm crispy and young there you go literally there's a you there's a fucking thing they are they have there's a thing i have on my phone where i was getting into this rut where i was always saying i'm old i'm old i'm old you're right yeah dude i'm starting to think of all the spells I've cast on myself in the last two days.

You got to be my face frozen like that. I'm sorry. I was blown away for a second. No, you got to be really careful with what you say because the universe picks it up and you're not old. You're fucking literally on fire. Yeah, dude. Not old. Young and spry.

Fucking got a big dick. Not spry. Yeah, dude. Yeah. Come on, universe. Yeah. is it too late for the big dick part yeah watch that motherfucker grow watch that shit in your tent tonight and watch it grow buddy yo i know gravity is working on my nuts it's not working on my dick quite as well. This old man nut thing, by the way, I never saw it coming. I did because I've been in a locker room with old dudes. Right. And you're like, are you?

How old are you, Josh? I'm 53. You don't even look 53. I was thinking you were like 45. I'm 53. Okay. Well, you don't look 53. Yeah.

I feel I did the last time I was on your podcast. Yeah. I looked 53. Well, you weren't feeling good. But I feel like, yeah. But I think Beth keeps me young. Well, she's a hottie. I'm not going to tell you how, but she's older than me.

Is she? Yeah. God, she's beautiful. Fucking, she is such a smoke show. It's crazy. She looks young. Some mornings when she'll wake up she's like are you staring at me i'm like i can't believe you're still here ah like who are you i can't

believe you're still here she is and smart and the kindest she really is the kindest she's so accepting that's when i first met her i didn't feel any judgment from her and normally when i meet wives that's the first thing i feel and she was just so loving and so just like hey lenny and i was just like i love her do you know what she said to me when we were driving home from that night she said this is like you said she said she is such a nice person oh and i was like how do you get that she was like i know what people think but she's like a kind nice person i was like, how do you get that? She was like, I know what people think, but she's like a kind, nice person. I was like, are you sure? Does Beth want to make out too?

Yeah. I was like, do you two need a tent session together? Beth is not a drug person at all. Yeah, me either. So even talking about drugs makes me verklempt. Do you? That might be why I'm having anxiety too. But here's what's crazy about both of you.

Yeah. Is that you're both accepting of who your husbands are and that you're going to do some drugs and like, you know? Well, yeah, no, for sure. I mean, I'm never going to change who my husband is. No. You know, like even the bad parts of him are still loved. He changed those parts on his own, you know?

So it's like, I think when you just you know so it's like i think when you just love somebody it's like you know do what you gotta do baby whatever makes you feel good that's exactly i asked her once i was like do you mind me getting high and she was like do you like getting high and i said i do and she said then i like you being high yeah if it was something you didn't like i would be like no i don't like it but you like it for you yeah yeah and it's better than being shit-faced drunk or shooting up heroin yeah you know your toes not that i've ever done that no i know a few people who have actually i that's the one thing i i i tried coke because i i was confident i was gonna love it

coke's a gross drug and everybody has skid marks in their underwear that does it like what coke makes you have to instantly shit yeah so the minute you do a line of coke you're taking a dump yeah you got skid mark drossy too yeah all of it yeah it's funny that that's an interesting that's what you associate with yeah well I've done enough I've done enough eight balls in my life to know now did, did you like Coke? No, but I would get shit-faced drunk on Xanax, and then I would need to come up, so I would do blow. I did meth once by accident. Oh, God.

I thought it was Coke, so my buddy was like, I got us some Coke, and then I did a line, and I was like, man, that burns a lot. Maybe I should try the other nostril just in case. I thought maybe it was this nostril and not the drugs that I just done. I was like, this nostril is a little raw. Let me hit this other one. Can I tell you how meth makes people look terrible?

It makes you feel terrible. I had this thin. Can I tell you how I know I look bad? We went to a strip club and I asked a woman for a dance and she straight up said no. And I was like what how bad and I told my buddy he was like you are a sweaty mess dude I go what he was like you have like sweat a film yeah you have like a thin and you're you're doing this with your jaw you have a beat of sweat on your nose nobody's giving you a fucking dance yeah you're drinking

gin and tonic like an old man meth is bad i had a little bout with meth too i almost lost a hand because of doing meth why a hand well i was getting tattooed by my tattoo artist in the garage yeah this is a great it wasn't a real tattoo artist we were smoking meth oh was the tattoo guy smoking meth yeah probably and i told him i was so high i told him to go deeper while he was tattooing me and he did and it ended up causing a severe infection in my entire arm and i almost lost my arm because of it you know first first bad choice is having the dude giving the tattoo doing meth doing meth i know yeah my life is a fucking fuck show that is and second and now i can't even

now i literally can't talk about my childhood without having to have a whole fiji water bottle but i used to smoke meth in garages with fucking people who were not even certified to do tattoos like tell me life is not a circle it's a huge cruel joke really you your life seems like it's there's been so much oh yeah do you ever are there times where you remember a story you're like i can't believe i just remembered this oh yeah all the time all the time right literally like what even while i'm sitting here talking to you i'm like good lord how did i fucking get through that that garage meth tattoo is like a great reality show i would love to see some dude do a fucking bump of meth and be like let's tattoo i'd be like

we weren't tootskiing we were smoking it oh yeah the old glass dragon that the glass dick is something also i felt like i would never do that but i'd snort it like somehow i was better right do you know what i mean that's for addicts that's felt. I was like, I'm saving the cartilage in my nose, but I'm crystallizing my lungs. You know, like the rationale that you have when you're in addiction is just crazy. I, I will tell you the one thing,

the reason I hated Coke is Coke made me sit in a corner and shut up. Yeah, no, that's, that's what I did. I didn't rock back and forth. I didn't chat it up at all. Oh yeah.

The fucking, can I tell you, I, I, um, I integrate, I interviewed, uh,

Bill Gates once. Wow. And he rocks rock. It could be a trauma response. It was one of the first things I noticed that I was like, Oh, this dude is rocking. And I caught myself kind of.

Rocking with him. Like, is this what we're doing together, dude? Are we best friends? You got to rock with, we just became best friends. You got to rock with Bill Gates, literally. When I was in Seattle, I lived in Seattle. I lived in Seattle at a time when, so Kurt Cobain had, I lived down the street from him

when he shot himself and i had a new york license it was on leshi and i couldn't get to my house because they were like you need to show that you and i had a new york license so i had to park and walk down to my house well we used to see him out by that lake in the summer in a trench coat and i was like this dude is not okay but it was at a time when like you would see the guys from alice in chains stopping in at bars and singing was such a crazy back in the good old days it was a crazy time to be in seattle with that music i i was you know uh courtney love held like a huge vigil Virgil vigil vigil vigil yep after he passed and said the fucking craziest we're all like what's up well I mean she was probably on fucking

had just done a speedball yeah it but what a an amazing time being up in Seattle at the time I I remember I have a picture where I, and then when I look at it now, I was wearing flannel, but I also had flannel tied around my waist. Yeah. I still rock that look. Do you go double flannel? Yeah. I'll still rock it. I also, I was overalls, no shirt underneath with one thing. Uh, yep. Did that too. Undone. Yeah. You probably had a shirt underneath. Yeah. No. Yeah.

A little bra possibly. Yes. I had, do you know, when I first started doing standup, I thought I need to dress so people remember me. So I had like a fedora and a vest. Oh, not the fedora. And a vest with a t-shirt under the vest and a black leather motorcycle jacket with the ponytail and bangs oh my god josh wolf with bangs it was like the worst color me bad

do you know what i mean like that kind of yeah boy band why is he wearing that it was the worst i have to i'm going to show you this picture i need to see it i kind of because i also had this long i i have very dewy hair yeah right so oh yeah how'd you do the bangs with that so when when it's wet i used to trick myself i'm like i look like a professional wrestler do you know what i mean and then when it dried up, it looked like. The old Jerry curl. Yeah, it's exactly. So glow. Right? And it was wet and looked, I was like, I look sexy as fuck.

And then it dried up and it was like a squirrel's nest. Like Bob Ross. Yeah. That's exactly. That tight Jew curl is not a good look. That is hilarious. And then early on, I've always worn a hat on stage. Yeah.

You know, your signature. When my I remember my first couple episodes of Chelsea, I wasn't wearing a hat. And I'd known her for a long time. And she said to me, where's your hat? And I go, it's TV. I'm not. I thought I wasn't supposed to have a hat. And by the way, this is one of the things

that I truly love about her. Yeah, Chelsea Handler, by the way. She said, I don't like your face without the hat. And I was like, cool. Chelsea will tell you like it is, and she does not care. Can I tell you, there was a point in time in my life when I was working on her show

where I was 192 pounds of not good 192 and I'm walking up the stairs in front of her and I and I'll tell you so some people like this some people don't but I do like this from friends right what I want from my friend is an honest absolutely yeah who else am I going to get it from right I don't need strangers opinion you don't need yes men no no I need and I'm walking upstairs and I hear from behind me your ass is gross and i said what she was like when did your ass get so big and i was kind of huffing and puffing up the stairs she was like you need to get your shit in shape and i fucking the next day i was like you are right i looked in the i looked in the mirror i'm like oh yeah and i asked beth i'm like do i am i

bigger she was like it happened so gradually yeah i see you every day yeah so i don't but she chels was like this something wrong has happened that's remedy that's she's like let's shape it up buddy fix that all wrap around let's go i am I am 100%. There's a friend of mine who I've known forever. And he's in a tough spot in his life. And we had a Zoom with a bunch of other friends. And I said, we got to tell him this, this, this, this, this. And my friends were like, their attitude was like, it's his life. And I don't want him to be mad at us.

And I said, all right, I'm outvoted. But I want all of you to know if I'm fucking up in my life. Yeah. This is why we're so close. I expect to hear from one of you motherfuckers. Absolutely. And if I don't, I'm going to question what this relationship is.

That's what friends are about. What's the point of having a friend group if somebody is not going to tell you when you're fucking up? This is sometimes you can't see outside of your own. Yeah. Shamimi's had to tell me a couple times like hey man reel it back in but you respect that from somebody and they and here's another thing it's not something mean you're doing you care enough about her to be like hey i care about you

i think this is a bad move for you. Yeah. Ultimately, you're going to make whatever decision you want. But this is what friends do. Yeah. Yeah. I, that friend group, I was like, you guys, this is not a good look for us. Well, you should probably just tell them, hey, look, I'm going to tell him. I did. Okay, good. Yeah.

Yeah. He did not receive it well. Oh. That's probably why they didn't want to tell him then. Yeah. Now we know why. he's not talking to me anymore but uh he will though when it all comes with the when the world circles back around he'll come back around at the end of the day though again like we go back to what we were saying

not up to me right but i know that in my conscience i did the right yeah i did the right thing absolutely do you know what i mean i mean you everything life and how you talk to people is all about intention so if you intended on going to him to help him yeah that's all you needed to do you know you didn't have any bad intentions behind what you were doing so yeah i really i mean intention is so important for like i know a lot of people think they think outcome yeah if you start with intent outcome's gonna yeah absolutely eventually find its way there i mean look at this place yeah no we're we're growing and glowing that's what i say i mean that furry wall is like we're gonna let you go back over to the furry wall because there's mushrooms on the furry wall

let's talk about what 20 what what does the rest of 2023 have in store for you well we're selling out theaters now crazy so proud of you selling out theaters now i'm just like so blown away it is close to emotional when I think about where I am, the ups and downs, people telling me a couple of years ago, basically you should start doing something else. You should retire. You're at an age where no,

you're not going to get new fans. Aren't going to be. And like, so this is, I was at the, it's just very emotional for me almost every night. Because you're so grateful. it's just very emotional for me almost every night. Because you're so grateful.

But the cold bath, I'm so much of a, I put my foot in. I'm like, you know what? I'm healthy. I feel pretty good. I feel pretty good without that part of this part of the health thing.

I think I love it because of my anxiety is so severe that I need something to shock me. I need something to kind of like jolt me to like be back in my body instead of being out of my body. Have you tried self-hypnosis at all? I have not. What does that entail? Well, so this, the anxiety thing I've read a lot about, you should read a lot about the self-hypnosis where you can rewire your brain through self-hypnosis and there's, you can have somebody, you can hire somebody to guide you. You can, there are apps where you can guide you,

to guide you you can their apps where you can guide you but i've been reading a lot about it it's like meditation plus you're using the the tools of hypnosis to help rewire but it's fascinating stuff i would read about it um because i'll fucking wake up clucking like a chicken and shit hilarious if you start speaking french you're like what the fuck yeah just wake up a whole new fucking persona dude with my if i did something like that by myself that's probably what would happen i'll wake up like rando much uh what is his name what's his name macho man randy savage oh if you woke up like i would fucking your voice change you're like how and jay's poor jay has just stuck with me dude he would call me like dude what did you do i didn't think she would gonna start talking like the taco bell dog that's not what

i thought was gonna happen like spuds mckinsey yeah oh good reference oh my shit dude do we even remember spuds mckinsey nobody remembers you do well that dog is so cute that you don't remember shape of the head you don't remember spuzz mckenzie he was the he was like the dog that had the red circle around his eye he was the bull terrier what about the taco bell dog yo quiero yo quiero taco bell yeah yo quiero taco bell that was also a good one my dog shits on trees he puts his asshole up against the tree and he, and it sticks.

He shits on trees. He doesn't shit on the grass. He shits on trees or on top of bushes, but he doesn't. What kind of dog is it? How tall is he? He's half pit, half American bulldog.

Okay. So he's a big guy. So he presses his asshole up against the tree. And so when it leaves, it's just this piece of shit hanging off of the tree and you're like it's so a new meaning to dingleberry right it's such a weird thing you know the tree's like yo yo yo yo yo shit can't you shit on the bottom you're shitting and then he likes like on a cactus in the desert he likes to shit on the cactus he doesn't get a prickle in his butt he hovers over oh he hovers over and like drop a fucking cherry on top of the cactus and he'll

just like walk away like here you go go ahead pick that up has he been like that since he was a puppy since we got him he shit on bushes shit in and i only made the mistake once i was like i'm gonna reach in the bush oh no and the you know i the one of the little things made a hole so i had a little poop on my finger and that's something that mentally like lived with me for like three months every time this hand came close to my face i was like nope i wouldn't even masturbate with my right hand anywhere. I'm like, I'm not fucking pink guy. Stink guy for the pink guy. You don't want to do that, buddy.

You don't want to get dog pink guy. That is a bad, a stink guy. Pink guy. No, but yeah, your dog doesn't shit on the bushes. No,

he, but Chachi literally doesn't have to scrunch because his butthole is so big. So Chachi is normally here too. Does he have a big butthole? He's got the biggest cratery butthole I've ever seen on a dog. I mean, he's the most beautiful dog and he turns around and he's all asshole. And literally all he has to do is just stand. He stands and shits.

He doesn't have to hunch over because his butthole is so wide and so big that it just plops out. That is it. So no, he's got no hemorrhoids. It's just effortless. No, and he's crazy. Heorrhoids. It's just effortless. No. And he's crazy. He doesn't, he knows he has a big butthole.

So he shits like a vegan. It just comes right out. Literally. He does not let anybody touch his asshole either. This dog, we, every time we take him to the vet, he tries to bite them every time they touch his asshole.

Yeah. If you try to touch his asshole, he will fight you. He hasn't had the right finger yet. That's what what i learned i was like him when i was younger and then i was like that's what it's about do you like a finger in the asshole all the time or just every now and then no every now and then is it stroking your g-spot or just penetration it's the g-spot yeah and it's also do it yourself no because i tried once and i started to laugh i was like this is funny my fingers in my butthole right now like we're like do you know what i mean like you were so horny

just jack it off one time and then i stopped i was like i can't and now what am i gonna do with this do you know what i mean yep you can't put the old stink on the paint nope no i i just can't do it to myself i can't get past the funny because here's what i start to think about as a comic this has got to look so funny right like if beth walked in right now first of all she would be like we're done with that finger yeah like you're gonna have to use something else but but like for me also like yeah i i don't like to do it myself and for her like i don't like anything all the time right now it gets monotonous we're like we're doing this together so there are some things where i'll be like we'll both decide we're not gonna do that for a couple months right so when we do it again

yeah like it's like it makes it fun and exciting yeah yeah but do you feel like you ejaculate harder from that? Because that's the whole reason why people get their G-spot stimulated. I don't know if it's because of the G-spot or because it's like, oh, we're doing this fun new thing again. Right. And it's not my finger. Right.

You know what I mean? I'm like, you got to go wash your finger. That's not. No dirty Sanchez's. Oh, not in our house. No, no dirty. Although, look, man man I'm not against playing jokes like that on each other you know what I told you about the Big Mac story I did it one time

remember do you remember the Big Mac yes I swiped my friend's asshole and it smelled like Big Mac and I fucking would go and stick it under people like that's the last time i ever credit carded anybody's butthole no filter because you you never know what people's butthole you really know a lot about a person by the way their butthole smells so if you ask jacob wolf a story okay oh no we were at my daughter's was a recital for like her. She was in high school. Yeah. And a woman sat in front of us. Jeans, big booty, no underwear. Nice. Asshole walk. Like it was so it was coming down.

And Jacob and it was me, Jacob and Beth. And Beth looks at both of us and she goes, did one of you fart? And I was like, no. And I go, Jake, you fart? And he was like no and i go jake you fart and he was like no and then jacob just goes and i was like you think that's her butthole and every time she would move a waft of asshole would just come up oh my gosh and i was like these are the worst seats like do you know what i mean yeah i mean i would have probably moved or complained who complained to her who wash your asshole who am i complaining who am i complaining

excuse me usher come come let her walk yeah do you have a wipe can you know right and so like how can you not smell that though i'm sorry'm sorry. If anything on me smells, I know it. Especially your asshole. Yeah. Your asshole has a specific smell. I hope it's the only thing on your body that smells like that. Yeah. Do you know what I mean?

If you're like, is that your mouth or your asshole? You've made some bad life choices. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. If I can't tell the difference between your asshole and your mouth, we can't be friends. No, it's a weird thing. It is a weird thing. But I mean, like, how could you go out in public and not know that that you could you can waft in it yourself?

That's the thing. Like the no underwear is a choice. I'm happy if you want to make. Right. But like if you're assholes hanging out of your pants, you've got to take extra special care. Yeah. Especially if you've got a big ass because there's no air gets in there. So when the air does hit.

Yeah, dude, it's, it's knockout. No offense to our big booty duties, but. But it's crazy. My Jacob's girlfriend nicknamed my dog,

big booty, Judy, the one who shits on trees. Yes, dude. The one who shits on trees. He is fucking bananas he also you know fitting for the family though you did not warn me about the coyotes in
