Absolutely. Yeah. And you go out in the world and you do it. That's the best. But what I liked about Ed Bassmaster is he

I was not anymore. I stopped. Oh, yeah. Yeah yeah I started just I cut out my processed meat and all this shit that causes high cholesterol and Went back up and I go back for blood work once a year and I'm good. I'm a good 52 year old guy you got to there comes to a certain point where you just start developing a relationship with your doctors Yes, it's just a check-in. Yeah, you got it
Starting point is 00:03:00 You got you get you get to about 40 or 50 there just comes a point We got to do regular check-ins to make sure you don't die. Right now we could die. Absolutely. Yeah, we're middle-aged kids. We're three middle-aged guys right here. I'm a middle-aged kid. I'm gonna be 41, but I am middle-aged.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Yeah, we are three middle-aged white guys. Now the thing that me and Ed could do is we could become not middle-aged guys and we could skirt by. You're always gonna just be a middle-aged guy. What do you mean? You need a trans character. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Yes, yes, yes, yes. You need do you mean? You need a trans character. Oh, that's right. Yes. You need a woman character. You need a minority character. You need to be able to transform out. Now, because, Ed, because you're 52-year-old, 52-year-old honey with a body, what was the highest your cholesterol was? I don't remember the numbers.
Starting point is 00:03:38 My doctor told me it was high. He read me the numbers. I don't know the numbers. Now, you a Jewish kid? I'm Italian, Puerto Rican, and Russian Joe. Wow. Is Bassmaster the RJ? Yeah, Bassmaster is Italian actually. Really? Yep. Wow. It's just how you pronounce the Bassmaster. No, Rodriguez is my birth name, so half Puerto Rican, half Italian, half part Russian Joe. Yeah. And my mom was Italian, Russian Jew, my father was Puerto Rican.
Starting point is 00:04:03 So are they with us still? mom no longer my dad don't know he's he took on left yeah mom Kensington my own all or probably yeah probably or have it's a lot of Larda and he's listen that's what happened dad's not in the picture sometimes you got to create dads to talk to you that's maybe where the characters that's where the character started I had to fill that void so yeah first one was always testy the guy's guy. Dude what I like about you what I like about you too is is every video that I watch you I I laugh like hard because sometimes you know like especially like with the internet what it is sometimes like as
Starting point is 00:04:37 comics as us coming from like the stand-up background you're like okay I know what this one's doing this is hack shit people like it but with you I'm like oh no dude this guy's like. This is hack shit people like it, but with you I'm like, oh no, dude This guy's like fucking when the couple of videos we watched before was like, oh, this is like legitimately great like writing This is like what SNL was like in the 90s, right? Your stuff You just take the character to the streets and yeah more psychological than just you know That's the cookie cutter pranks that you always say well when you do it in the streets, too One of the one that we showed me from that office, when, from like 14 years ago.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Yeah, you've been doing it for a long time. That was hilarious, with the one when, you know, you're like on an actual job interview and they have no idea. Oh, yeah, well yeah. Several of those. Yeah, yeah. What's that guy's name?
Starting point is 00:05:15 Psh, that dude. Chip Diamond. Chip Diamond. Chip Diamond. With the sick mullet. Yeah, yeah. And the Cosby sweater. Yeah, the knockoff Cosby sweater.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Yeah, that's awesome, man. He's the one that really took off at first, like was chip actually the look at it video was way before chip diamond so just look at it I don't know if you've seen that it's I would you look at that oh that guy yeah yeah he didn't say it so I get it now yeah he just caught what so many of them like you just like they just look at it was like way way way viral like everybody well chip diamond was the one where I quite I caught you yeah that was a little bit later on and then you had your southern guy like the humbles bar
Starting point is 00:05:49 a little bit yeah and then and then yeah the guy you can't even understand what he said and he'll talk to people and they'll be like what how do you do it again? He won't talk to somebody out here when new york city might take out a podcast you just got to throw in real words do you but like so when you're doing that with the real people, is there like a like a feeling of like anxiety before it or do you feel like kind of just calm the whole week? No, it's anxiety. So like anytime the camera starts rolling even before and we're driving around trying
Starting point is 00:06:16 to find somebody to engage with it's it's like diarrhea cramps. Yeah, not wanting to get out of the car and face the but that motivates. Like you want to go towards that. No, it doesn't motivate me man. I'm just like it's it's very very gives you high anxiety and it's like it's like it's way harder than going on stage in front of three, four hundred people. Yeah, because they know what they're coming. I only did it once. I only did because I'm I can't do it. I can't do it either. That's why it's a crazy skill he has because I couldn't do it either. I did it one, I only did, cause I can't do it. I can't do it either, that's why it's a crazy skill he has, cause I couldn't do it either.
Starting point is 00:06:46 I did it one time when we did the Morisa video, the rap video, and I felt ridiculous walking around the streets. That's the thing, it's so embarrassing, but you have to, that's like the hardest hurdle to overcome is just getting embarrassed. Yeah, yeah, I'm embarrassed. Anytime I'm in that character, it's embarrassing
Starting point is 00:07:03 to walk around in the hood in Philly like a cowboy yeah yeah and you see you got you got the hood character testy with the lazy eye on the strength of Philly and shit yeah yeah that's the guy I saw the interview I love it yeah yeah yeah yeah but the problem was they wanted me to work eight hours a day and I had time to stick around he's like when I don't fall asleep I work pretty hard. Well, that's what I liked about it too is the dialogue within the characters is well, you're not, I mean, I know there's riffing involved, but you're writing that a little bit at least before. Some of the, I mean, what you going in with an idea.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Going in with the idea of you're doing a job interview and bringing a 40 ounce and that's it. And then everything else is just improv. Yeah. How does it, how do you set it up? So that particular one with the job interview was a pet store local to Philly and the owner hit me up and just asked me to prank one of his employees so and I said well let's do a fake interview with my character who's fresh out of prison and his parole officer which was played by another YouTube guy, Jack Vail, and set up their hiring manager.
Starting point is 00:08:08 And we went, he had seven stores or something like that. So we went to the one where he wasn't set up cameras and had it set up where he was coming in to interview me. And he was led to believe that like, for like, I don't know, with the state and the parole and shit, like they had to interview this guy. It's part of, you know, it's part of the program, the work release program. So there was no question question why his probation officers, they just knew he was a hood rat.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Right, yeah. And do you ever have times when you do it and it doesn't work? Sure. Yeah. Or do you get recognized? All the time, yeah. I noticed a problem Borat had a lot too,
Starting point is 00:08:39 or I'm sure even the jokers, at some point, it's like everyone knows who you are when you try to. Oh yeah. Every time we're shooting we get stopped but it usually doesn't ruin the moment yeah we're trying to achieve so but you know sometimes we put it in the videos yeah yeah who's the biggest dudes like who've cuz Chip Diamond I know has done some like collaboration stuff like you know and you've done like some mainstream videos with Chip diamond, right? Yeah, he did sports thing. I did
Starting point is 00:09:10 The choke John Jones choked me out. Yeah, that's right. Did you come? No, really? I don't know how that's that's like the most impressive. I never heard of that. I would have sprayed him dude Yeah, because the thing is Chip diamond is like a little he's a he's a dismissive dude Yeah, like he's um, he's kind of like Arrogant, but it's funny because he's like a loser. Yeah. Yeah, but in doing that prank some people must get pissed Well, that's the thing the first thing that's why I designed that costume to look like the guy that everybody else would go Pshh to him pay no mind to yeah, and then he turns it around. He just walks around like this Yes looks at people and is unhappy with everything.
Starting point is 00:09:46 And I figured looking like this will be hard to get beat up versus doing it as myself. It's more confrontational. It's like, this is real. Even that character like adding like the sweater and the jeans and everything's funny in the glasses, but adding the mullet is like the cherry on top that a lot of people would just not do that.
Starting point is 00:10:02 But it's all that, because I didn't realize, because I don't really do characters. I've tried and all of mine suck. But I'm like, oh, it takes like such detail. Like even when you do Maurice, it's like there's so many little details that you think are a little thing, but they turn out to be a big thing that people like subconsciously notice. Oh, one time, you know, when we were doing shows at Caroline's, Jesse was there, and
Starting point is 00:10:23 I forgot to shave a little bit. So I held the show up because I was like, you know, at that's, Jesse was there and I forgot to shave a little bit. So I held the show up, cause I was like, at that point I was so committed to thinking like her and transforming that I was like, I had like a little stubble. So somebody had to run, go get a razor, and I shaved it down. But if I do it now, which I still do once in a while,
Starting point is 00:10:39 I don't give a fuck anymore. I've gone out in a five o'clock shadow. Yeah. I have a tranny, I don't know if you've seen Sequi and Johnson. I have, yeah, and I always have full beard And that's yeah I would I started by you know pulling up to drive-thrus with my head turning when they open the window ask You know can I help you I would turn around and full beard and yeah
Starting point is 00:10:56 It's you know it's it's one thing to do it the way you're doing it try pulling up to a drive-thru in that costume Yeah, do you you have like a schedule? Well, yes, I'm I want to get these videos out this week? Or you just, when I'm inspired, I do it? When I want to do it. So there'll be sometimes weeks where you're like, I'm not doing anything, I'm creatively just backing off. It's been held over my head for since day one, the more I create, the more money I make, and I'm just not really into it. It's like, I have to do it when I want to do it. Well, that's probably why you're doing so well because... No, it's why I'm not doing so well. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:11:24 Yeah. If I was more aggressive with it, I'd be making way more money. But you make enough to live a good life in South Jersey. Yeah, I do all right, but you know, there's just so many opportunities that I don't do and the regular continuity and it's just, I can't have that over my head. Like a guy that helps manage my Facebook, for example,
Starting point is 00:11:42 he's hitting me up every single day for like last two weeks. Ed, I need that video, I need that video. It's going to go viral. And I'm like, I'll get it when I feel when I get it. Do you have kids, wife, family? Four kids. So that's what I'm saying. So wife, wife and kids, we were all just talking about this. We all have kids here. And so like, we were saying that, like, well, you know, maybe we're not, you know, selling out arenas or whatever, but like our kids love us. Yeah, that's what matters. And we're like, we get so much opportunity with our children. So it's like that imaginary Facebook gun that the guys holding your head, it's like that's
Starting point is 00:12:12 all their problem. My thing is like, we're working today, but I got to spend like the whole morning with my daughters. So it's like, what's the problem here? None. You know, like we just did a full episode. That was great. Right before you came in, that was great. And then we, and then there's no ads on it. So we realized know, like we just did a full episode. That was great before you came in That was great. And then we and then there's no ads on it
Starting point is 00:12:27 So we realized like our ad company just didn't book us So we did like an episode that's free and we're like, whatever we had fun We had in the moment it sucks that we're not gonna make the money that we thought we were gonna make but like We're just gonna go home. Don't worry. This one's gonna. Yeah, this one's gonna do Yeah, I hope Yeah. This one's gonna do. Yeah. I hope. I hope so.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Jesus. I hope so, damn. God, what the hell? Wow, four kids, 52 years old, four kids, Puerto Rican Jew. Yep. Yeah. That's nice, dude. Italian, Puerto Rican, and Russian. Do you do characters for your kids?
Starting point is 00:12:56 Do you like? They've grown up seeing it their whole life, yeah. And now my 16 year old kid just broke through with Instagram like getting millions of views of doing similar shit. Oh really? Puts a mullet wig on and totally inspired by me, obviously, but he's his own animal and he's like breaking out.
Starting point is 00:13:12 And it's really not so much to do with me. At first I helped bring him a few hundred or a few thousand followers, but then he just started. One day he did a video, did like eight million views or something and it's funny and everybody was sharing it, so. And he's on Instagram as Ed Troutmaster. Cameron Bassmaster. Cameron, shout out, there you go, Cameron. Troutmaster.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Trout Sniffer, I've been called Ass Blaster. How old is he? 16? Yeah, 16, yeah. And then I have a 22-year-old son who actually was just in Detroit with me. We came home last night, I had a couple shows out there, and he'll go on the road with me sometimes. I don't think I've ever met a guy 52 years old who looks as young as Ed Bassmaster. Yeah, he's not.
Starting point is 00:13:50 He just looks young. Yeah, he looks good. Like, we've been told he has a, is that your oldest child, 22? 29. Would you ever think he has a 29-year-old child? No. No.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Wild, dude. You can hang out with your kids, and they look like brothers. Yep. Yeah. All with the same woman? Yes. No, no, no, no, I'm sorry. No.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Take that back. Sorry. You want me to put her in. My 29-year-old, yeah. My 29-year-old. Exactly. That's the four I know about anyways. My 29-year-old was with a different woman than the other three same women.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Yeah. All right. Most of them? Three boys with my wife, yeah. Yeah, dude. And then one, and then your oldest is a girl. Yep, right. And she's like 10 minutes from my house, so it's tight family, and we're good, we're good to go.
Starting point is 00:14:31 That's good. Now, is Philly like the biggest, you draw the most in Philly? Or do you think, do the different characters draw differently in different areas? Because I ran into that situation where I'd go to some places and- What do you mean, as far as the live shows,
Starting point is 00:14:44 or as far as video? Live shows, live shows. Oh, live shows? No, I haven't, I've only done like a few in Philly. They drew more than, you know, most areas, but I've been to other areas more times than I have in Philly. Yeah. And, you know, the draw is, it seems about average. It seems pretty widespread.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Like, I went to Canada recently and did like 10 shows there. It was pretty widespread. I didn't realize I had you know fans in Canada. What's the live show? Is it like you characters? Are you doing stand up? It was at first so at first speaking of hiding behind the characters that's what I was doing for a while was just coming out in character because I was comfortable with it doing costume changes having videos play in between and the audience they they seem to love that you know watching my YouTube stuff in between. But recently in like the last, I'd say 30 to 40 shows,
Starting point is 00:15:29 it's just been myself developing standup. Basically, emulating the same stories I did in costume but out of costume. Channeling the characters, telling stories. Because everybody that's been at even all these shows, they know who I am, so they want to hear about. But I also am doing my show now as if I'm in a fresh audience that has no idea who I am have you ever walked into on tour yet just a nice fat bomb never walk into just a nice fat
Starting point is 00:15:53 just fuck you from the audience oh yeah zero sweatshirt but down your back Kentucky was one it was just like the audience was like all right didn't they didn't feel me. Do they? No, there's plenty. Of course. Yeah. They want the characters when you do yourself? No, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Is every single show that I've done, not one person asked, well, where was this guy? Or what? Cause like I said, I bring them out and I channeled them and it's it. That makes it easier too, when you just do them as you. Yeah. You don't have to sell it. Cause well, and I also think too, like, you also think too, you've been on YouTube for so long, it's like they watch you on YouTube,
Starting point is 00:16:28 and then when the live experience, maybe they want something a little different. Like YouTube gets them to buy a ticket, but then they see the real you, that's probably a very interesting thing. Yeah, and I've had a lot of feedback of people that were glad to see the real me and hear me come out and talk shit.
Starting point is 00:16:39 So it's been working, yeah. Did you always wanna do that, or did you do the first one by accident, like it threw it up and it went viral? No, no, I always wanted to do that since I was like seven years old. Yeah. Really? Be on YouTube since you were seven?
Starting point is 00:16:51 No, be on SNL. Oh really? Did you ever get an audition or anything? No. You're like the perfect SNL guy. Yeah, no, never had the opportunity. And I actually, believe it or not, started standup in Philly in about 99. And I did, you know, pretty
Starting point is 00:17:07 decent. I actually did really well the first time I ever went up at an open mic. And then I ended up featuring in a couple shows. But I never pursued it. I started having kids and I just wasn't able to go to New York and audition or do shows. And Philly wasn't really, you know, nobody was getting discovered out of Philly. Now they are. Yeah. Chits change now. Yeah. They are. Shane Gillis. I feel like the R U Garbage guys, the Phillies, we were just talking about before the Philadelphia comedy scene is like probably right one of the hottest right outside New York. You know, Philadelphia's have great sense of humor. That's yeah you know they're just funny people, funny characters you know and yeah pick up on that. Yeah, similar to the one.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Ture, remember Ture? Yeah, I like Ture. Awesome, Tom. I did a show with Ture in 1999, probably. One of the best comedians ever to watch live. You ever been to Philly? He hosted a show that I did on South Street in Philly. Yeah. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:56 I bombed on that one, by the way. Oh, the black crowds in Philly? Yeah. What I always loved and appreciate about them is they are just as honest as honest could be. If it was funny they laughed, if it was not funny they would just look at you and wouldn't even give you a sympathy laugh. And I appreciated that.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Yeah. Well, black crowds in general do that. Yeah. The old expression, black crowds and dogs can smell fear. So they know- Right, that seems like a tinge. No, but it's not. It means like a black crowd smells fear.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Yeah, they do. If you're scared. Yeah, you gotta go out there confident. They know if you're scared. I think confidence is like, I don't even, like they respect it more, even if your material's not good, as long as you come out there and fucking not scared. Now do you remember, are you old enough to remember or maybe your parents tell you stories about Mayor Frank Rizzo?
Starting point is 00:18:44 Sure. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah, cause we have an obsession with Frank Rizzo. We call each other crumb bombs. I'll take both of you physically. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We did a full episode. It's one of our classic episodes on Frank Rizzo because he was a pretty wild character. So how is he in Philly right now? I mean, everybody in Philly loves Frank Rizzo. I'm non-political totally, just off the top. I don't care about politics. I don't get involved. I mean everybody in Philly loves Frank Rizzo. You know I'm non-political totally just off the top. I don't care about politics. I don't get involved. I don't know who the vice president is. I don't care. It's the best way to be. It truly is the best way to be. So you know I was probably eight or nine years old when he was there and you know he was just always looked up to,
Starting point is 00:19:18 regarded like you know like kind of like Joey Merlino is now these days you know. Yeah who's showing Merlino? Joey Merlino, the mob guy from Philly. Skinny Joey. No. Is he doing content too? Yeah, he's pretty funny. All the mob guys is doing content now. He's pretty funny.
Starting point is 00:19:32 They're like, yo, welcome to my podcast. Yeah. Oh, you gotta check out Joey Merlino, he's funny. They did like a Father's Day shout out, and he was like, yeah, happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there, and to all you scumbag fucking rats behind bars. He's just like, yeah, he's like. Colin Quinn's got a good bit where he was like, yeah, happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there and to all you scumbag fucking rats behind bars. Yeah. He's just like, yeah, he's like.
Starting point is 00:19:46 That's, Colin Quinn's got a good bit where he's like, you know, these mafia podcast guys, they're like, you know, everyone's doing like content now, doing podcasts, you know, kind of talking about their crimes. They're like, you know, Joe, we were about to kill that guy behind the park, whatever, and then the Sal will be like, but Joe, before we get to that, a word from Sherry's Berries. Exactly. And then the sound be like but Joey before we get to that a word from Sherry's berries All I know from all the clips of the podcast guys there was this guy did Chico Some guy did Chico who all the mobster guys were scared of he was a some guy in New York Can you look him up did Chico something did Chico?
Starting point is 00:20:19 Chica every podcast I'm going like you guys think I was bad They were like you think we were bad this guy he was a sick fuck. Yes guy was a sick fuck He's turned my stomach. I wouldn't have him love watch my kids I'd let these other killers watch my kids, but I wouldn't let this not the Chico. It was murder machine Anthony DeMai, oh, I'm sorry Yeah, they all talk about Anthony. Yeah, I've seen an interview with him. And it's funny just to watch guys
Starting point is 00:20:48 who are stone cold murderers. Right. Morally judge this other guy. Oh, the DeMeo gang, the Brooklyn, I think that was Bensonhurst, like Bath Avenue boys or something like that. I don't know. Brooklyn, Brooklyn guys?
Starting point is 00:21:00 Canarsie. Oh, Canarsie. Oh shit, that's crazy, because Canarsie you think of as like, not even having Italians. Yeah. Wow. But supposedly this guy was like a twisted guy. He was like very twisted.
Starting point is 00:21:11 So it's funny. It's funny thinking about their content meetings too, like, what are we going to talk about today? Yesterday we talked about the rape and murder of that family we did down at Bath Avenue. We talked about- We talked about the extortion case, we talked about how we beat up the federal officer. We talked about how we paid off the cops. We talked about how we extorted all those fucking bar owners.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Yeah. We talked about when we hit bats. Yeah. We did that episode. Do you want to talk about, how about for today we'll talk about how the chicken palm at Louisa's kind of sucks now. We could do that one because did we do the Obama's a Muslim episode yet? No, we know we got what we did the Michelle Obama's a man thing We did the Michelle Obama's but we did we can't believe they elected a black Muslim. We did that episode
Starting point is 00:21:52 We did episode. I think the only thing left to talk about is fucking the Mayo Yeah, I think we should do a 20-part series on to May out the bail cuz he was a sick fuck. Yeah And then after that we talk about fucking call cuts and Salredd and the deli that I love in Philly. There you go. There you go. Those guys are going to run out of content at some point. I know. They're going to have to go out and do more mob shit just
Starting point is 00:22:13 so they can support their podcast. I respect that you know, though, that this freaking hamster wheel, because I feel like it's starting to happen now amongst all of us, is this content machine, this hamster wheel, you realize like, it's not gonna end well. Like you kind of realize like, dude, I gotta do this creatively.
Starting point is 00:22:31 Every single show that we grew up loving, like now, Kids Grow Up Loving, the Ed Bass Master YouTube channel, that's like their content. We grew up watching whatever, Seinfeld, but even Seinfeld took breaks. Like everybody took breaks where now it's like, we've kind of don't even realize like
Starting point is 00:22:46 every week has to be something, every day has to be something. It's like there's no way that's going to, there's no way you're going to win that one. Well it's better that way too because I think you have, you gain longevity when you don't do too much. Over-exposure. Because you've been doing it for as long as I was doing it, in my opinion. Yeah, my character, 15 years ago or whatever, years were the same, right?
Starting point is 00:23:06 14, 15 years ago. So you sometimes take breaks and you just let videos marinate for a bit, right? Well, that's crazy. So you actually started to get popular. That's interesting. So you started to get popular. He's been around for a long time.
Starting point is 00:23:16 No, but I'm saying, but you started to get popular later in life, mid-30s. It's, bro, it's like, right now, it's more, I don't know, I keep having these. Waves kind of thing? Yeah, and I sit back and chill and I just continue to put content up. Mostly now I just film shit with my phone, POV,
Starting point is 00:23:34 and those will go wild, 8, 20 million views, whatever. And it's sort of like the popularity's growing kind of now, I guess. So actually you're thinking now at this point in your life is maybe the biggest you've ever been? Yeah, yeah, I feel like now is like the most recognizable. I'm getting hit up by the most people to do certain gigs. Like actual, now like legitimate A-list celebrities
Starting point is 00:23:54 are like, oh Ed, Tom Doosan. This is my first big podcast. Is it really? Is it your first podcast? I mean I did Trevor Wallace. Yeah, that's a big one. Yeah, sure. Yeah, so those are really, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:04 I've done some smaller, you know, you know, smaller ones, but yeah, these are like my first two real actual podcasts. Yeah. You've heard about BILT, B-I-L-T. Yeah, because I know that you worked with them. I worked with them. I did a show for them and then I really learned a lot about their product. They, this is the way to pay your rent. Yeah. Is BILT. I know a lot of people in New York City are doing it. I would assume a lot of other cities are doing it. When you pay your rent through built, you unlock two very powerful benefits. First, you earn one of the industry's most valuable points on rent. So every month you're paying your rent, you're getting points with the company, like a credit card, you're
Starting point is 00:24:36 getting points, which, you know, the Greek landlords don't offer that. So no, they don't. And so what you're basically saying is there's no reason not to do this. Exactly. Because no matter where you live or who your landlord is, your rent now works for you. Second, you gain access to exclusive neighborhood benefits in your city. Water built neighborhood benefits, things like extra points on dining out, complimentary post-workout shakes, free mats or towels at your favorite fitness studios, and unique experiences that only built members can access. So it's like, okay, because the thing is, oh, well, rent, I'm throwing my money away. I'm paying somebody else's mortgage. All that stuff could
Starting point is 00:25:07 be true. But now, at least with built, if I'm going to pay rent, because I need a place to live, I'm going to get some points and some benefits for me. I like that's nice. And I met the kid who owns a company, kids screwed in. He's an Indian kid from Seattle. I like it. It's screwed in like it. So if you're not earning points on rent, my question is, what are you waiting for? Yeah. So start paying rent through earning points on rent, my question is, what are you waiting for? Yeah. So start paying rent through BILT and take advantage of your neighborhood benefits by going to joinbilt.com slash history hyenas. That's J-O-I-N-B-I-L-T dot com slash history hyenas.

Did did you ever get close to getting hit? Like when you oh, yeah, of course, like what was the time? Did you actually ever get hit? No, no the closest I ever got to getting hit was here in New York City probably about ten years ago I was just I was doing the chip dime a bit and I was just standing in the middle of sidewalk and I saw this black dude coming up the street and I just looked
Starting point is 00:27:49 at him and was like, pshh, and he just goes son you want to get punched in the mouth I'm having a fucked up day and I just went pshh I don't give a shit and in that scale a little bit and then I told him it was a prank and he smacked the glasses out of my hand and walked away. Yeah they're not too, that community's not into the pranks. No, they don't want to prank. The black community, like you ever seen the Billy on the Street? Well, Billy on the Street is such a fun, funny TV show. You ever seen the one with Nas?
Starting point is 00:28:14 Wait, is Billy on the Street the gay guy who runs around and gives you a dollar? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It says, name a white person for a dollar. Like so funny. But then he did one with Nas and like Nas is like the special guest on it and Billy's doing all the things And Nas like on camera on TV is like I ain't about any of this shit, bro This shit is corny. Yeah, it ain't for me. I'm like they put you Billy on the streets credit
Starting point is 00:28:34 They put that out as the episode which I respected that but I was like, yeah, this is not that's not that the community doesn't want that Yeah, you're never gonna see the impractical jokers in Brownsville. Yeah, they're not gonna do that Yeah, there's some YouTube kids who lean into it and they go in there and they get like hit. Yeah and then they then well then they pay. They pay you know actors like religious approach. Absolutely. Hey I give you 50 bucks act like you're stealing this bike the seats gonna pop off and you know. That's annoying. Yeah. Because I like that but but we could smell the inauthenticity now. Your stuff goes well because it's authentic.
Starting point is 00:29:05 No, and that, well yeah, and theirs did so well because the young generation believes they're gullible, they believe anything, they're new to it. Interesting. So that new generation, when all those fake pranksters came on, that's why I don't consider myself a prankster because I'm not just like. No, you do like a character.
Starting point is 00:29:18 You do bits. You do sketches almost. Exactly, yeah. You do more, it's like Borat, kinda. You take the character. Why are you saying Borat? Why are you giving it like a French accent? Is it a Borat? Borat Borat how do you say it? Borat? I have made it a little French. Borat. Borat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Because you know what it is because he was in Long Island all weekend So he's trying to because he could feel like the Long Islander so he's trying to get a little bit more sophisticated So he says in a Shetty saying Borat, but I'm not a Long Island scum so he's gonna say borat yeah borat yeah it's a yeah I'm talking about it like it's a wine yeah borat yeah borat and thought about doing a movie yes producing your own movie love your money behind the movie love to yeah which characters would you put in there all of them yeah I actually wrote a script you know probably about five years ago that has all my characters in it Yeah, and it starts with my thug character testy. Yeah, actually it starts with chip diamond working on a car lot

You know, I'll go. You'll still do it. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. You know, when I see a car like parked at 7th Street. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. You know, when I see a car like this, first thing I do is I say,
Starting point is 00:31:48 would you look at this? Oh, would you look at this? Would you look at that? Yeah, there's a few more blemishes on the car. Oh my gosh, just look at it. The car is not perfect. Just look at it. Just look at it. What the heck is that?
Starting point is 00:32:06 Look at it. That's John Slane, if I could commentate for a second. John Slane, this was totally random. And I'm friends with him to this day. I was just texting him before I came. The guy in the video. I'm friends with him. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:18 He was a random guy that I stumbled upon and got this viral video. And he's on the spectrum. stumbled upon and got this viral video and He's you know He's on the spectrum and he's just he doesn't you know, I'm one of his clothes. I'm his closest friend Yeah, put that way. He became friends after this. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so he heard about heard of it contacted me We got in contact and you know, I kind of look after him, you know, like, you know, yeah I mean he looks after me too. He's a good conversation. Uh, and this ended up getting 44 million viewers.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Well, that's on YouTube. You know, it has over a billion views. That's crazy. Yeah. 100%. Cause people were sending me this video with 300 million views on Facebook. That wasn't even my page. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:57 This was the first one. This was the first one you did? The first original one. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, dude. This is, and so, so the first original, so your first, but no, but you didn't open. No, no, yeah, yeah, dude this and so so the first original so your first but no, but you didn't open no
Starting point is 00:33:07 No, I already had it. Yeah, I already had a million subscribers when I uploaded this But nobody really knew who I was because right because in the beginning when I started YouTube It was like only a handful of us and we took off Yeah, and I had a million subscribers before I filmed this but when I filmed this this like I feel like all like the NELT boys And all those guys like they kind of they follow this, just like, I feel like all like the NELK boys and all those guys, like they kind of, they followed me. You inspired them. Absolutely. Yeah. I've done stuff with them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hit me up like back in the, like maybe five, six years ago or more.
Starting point is 00:33:33 And I did some stuff with them and yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My, my, a lot of it was just, we were early. I mean, when we did more recent Panos, that was 15 years ago more than that more than that There was no money in the game then yeah nothing. No, there was nothing. Yeah, see that's the thing Well, but it's cuz now this gets four reviews you uploaded today I mean, you'll make so much money, but back then it wasn't monetized as well No, but I mean today today right today kind of retro actively though Yeah, I can go inactive for a few months and still you know collect a little check once a month good YouTube good
Starting point is 00:34:07 But I think that video probably made like 35 K 40 K over the 14 years Yeah, right because the ad sense came later Yeah, yeah, right where now I'm saying now if you uploaded it today over the course of the next 15 years It would make much more money. Oh, yeah You'd be making 44 million views. 100 grand? He'd be making 100 grand. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Huge. I mean when we did more recent it went viral. There was zero revenue. There was nuts. So we decided to do live shows to make the money because it was just a video that was popular online. There was no money. The whole internet
Starting point is 00:34:41 wasn't monetized. I mean look at the internet now. Ed Bassmaster, this great video, and then it's 11 year old's prank ends in felony charge. And that has 15, that's the Ed Bassmaster. Inspired by Ed Bassmaster. Yeah, EWU body cam. This is a real footage of an 11 year old getting a felony charge for a prank for doing what Ed Bassmaster did a couple years ago. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is, you know, it's just kind of, it just, sometimes the internet sucks, but sometimes it's awesome. Which one do you think is the most popular character? What'd you say? Like the one people love the most. So if I walk down the street- Because I thought it was Chip Diamond. Chip Diamond, hands down, that sweater is just- That's what I was going to say. Chip Diamond's the guy I've seen everywhere.
Starting point is 00:35:19 People see it from, see me from a mile away, and it's like, it shuts down, like, we got to shut down so many times, we got to ask people to like yeah we always have somebody with us to kind of like smart hold on he's filming wait till wait till he's done filming yeah right it happens every single time but uh who's who's the most famous would you say chip diamond yeah oh number one sorry yeah as far as the character but as far as the video i think to just look at a video is the most popular video of mine of all time hands down yeah yeah right right wow and are you all right the last one was a year ago? Are you still filming? No, no, no. I've put out something recently. Yeah. And how many followers you got by this point?
Starting point is 00:35:54 On YouTube? Yeah. 2.8 million. Damn. Hell yeah, baby. My Facebook's like 3.5 million and a couple other platforms. Suck my ass. Yeah. Tell everyone other platforms. Suck my ass. Yeah. Tell everyone dude. Yeah. Suck your ass. Suck it.
Starting point is 00:36:09 So you gotta be making good money there just from YouTube now. I mean, no, no, I mean it's four or five K a month, you know, but it's consistent. It's like just, but you know, you're doing merch, you're doing shows, you're doing other things too. If you uploaded more, you'd make more money. Absolutely. That's getting back to where I need it. But that's what he's saying. But he's creatively being who he is. If I put a prank up once a week on YouTube I could quit everything else.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Yeah. I can't commit to that because it's a commitment and it's not it's like it's like being like telling an artist you have to paint this painting. I just want to paint when I want to paint. Were you like this always or did you kind of grow into that like as you've went through the internet career? No, I mean I've gone gone in and out working with different people. Like, for example, my YouTube channel was acquired by a production company in like 2009, I think, Maker Studios out in LA, where they would fly me out, they would film and produce content for me, and it was like, you had to. And then it was like,
Starting point is 00:36:58 You didn't like the way that felt. No, no. And it cheapens your brand and it cheapens you, and it waters it down, and it's just like too much. Yeah, we feel that way sometimes to be honest with podcasting where you're like every week you have to have an episode. Yeah, you know, so sometimes you're like, that's why I think you're starting to see a lot of podcasters like only do one or stop them all together or do seasons. That's why you know, that's why there was never an episode of a television show every weekend for the all of time because they knew
Starting point is 00:37:24 you would overe over expose themselves. It was 22 episodes. I mean think about that. The best hit shows of your life, every TV show, the most they ever did was 22 weeks in a row and then they would take another 22 weeks off. Look at Gilligan's Island, three seasons. That's it. That's it.
Starting point is 00:37:41 The Honeymooners was three seasons. Wow, that's a good, I never thought of that. Yeah, crazy. You think that it's got all this, no. The Honeymooners was a good season. Wow, that's a good, I never thought of that. Yeah, crazy. You think that it's got all this, no. Three seasons, Honeymooners was only three seasons to it. One of the greatest comedy shows of all time. And it was a bomb when it came out.
Starting point is 00:37:52 All in the family, how many? Yeah, yeah. Dude, I know that, that Honeymooners was a bomb when it came out. So how'd they save it? What happened? No, it got, when they re-released it, it took off. Oh, it got canceled, like immediately, the Honeymooners? Yeah, it did three seasons,
Starting point is 00:38:05 it kind of bombed, it bombed, it wasn't popular and then when they released it like in the 70s or 80s and put it in. Did you know that the Flintstones was based off of them? I did know that. Alright. Yeah, yeah. Those vitamins I take? Have you been approached to do like cartoon character voices? Oh yeah, yeah. As a matter of fact, I pranked in that character mumbles there. I was in Venice Beach about a year and a half ago and I was just walking around with a guitar, playing guitar and mumbling, you know, busking kind of character thing. And somebody told me to go mess with this guy that was, his house was on the boardwalk in Venice Beach.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Real long hair, hippie dude, He's got a large crystal staff out there I don't know if you've seen that video, but I approached him and started fucking with him and here. He's a voice actor and Like his name is Greg Sipes. He does Michelangelo Ninja Turtle voice and he's always for Beast Boy from Teen Titans. Oh, wow So he was who I pranked. Yeah, and he found out after who I was. He didn't know I wasn't he researched and he was hit Me up. He's like bro bro, we gotta do something together. So long story short, we worked on a cartoon that never came to fruition, but we did a cartoon
Starting point is 00:39:10 where him and his sister in the illustration team came up with my characters in cartoon form. I did some voiceover stuff, but then I don't know if they needed money to finish producing it or what, it just never happened. Wow, yeah, I'm sure he's got a nice bag of money doing Teenage Ninja. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sure he's got a nice bag of money doing Teenage and Ingenious. Oh yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Yeah, and Teen Titans is huge. Oh, I love Teen Titans. He's Beast Boy. Yeah. You know, you got daughters, Yanni. Yeah. Teen Titans, you know, the kids, and they're little. Yeah, they're little.
Starting point is 00:39:37 I got daughters too, but I also have a stepson, so he would watch Teen Titans. And Ben 10. Yeah, all that stuff. All that good shit. Eddie Bassmasters, baby. How you doing? Cause let me just tell you something right now.

Honestly, I'm done with the politics too As long as you did the right thing this well like ten years ago I decided and smart and and ever since then I've just been happy dude. I'm happy every single day And look well, you know what's good too about your career is you have your fans. So you have your fans that really mess with you. You're not institutionally famous, so there's really nothing to take from you. Your fans support you and love you.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Absolutely, yeah. There's a freedom to that. Yep. Because it's like, you go the other route where it's like, now you really gotta be careful because if not, the New York Times will write an article about you because you're on a fucking television show and they have their money and that's like I don't know If that's the best I had any controversy anything no, I mean they haven't found out anything yet
Starting point is 00:45:55 But they will they might on this podcast have you got any hate for any of the characters enough There's two characters one is the tequila character tequila Johnson and the black girl. Yeah, Latino And you know just from like I've had Dudes hit me up like y'all was a fan you fucking hate you I hope you die like and then I do a character his name is Timmy and I play special needs I I impersonate a special needs guy. I don't make fun I represent the retarded community by going out dressed like one and acting like one.
Starting point is 00:46:28 And I show up to construction sites and it's called I Work. And like every live show that I do, people are constantly yelling out, I work, I work, because people love this retarded character that I play. And I show up to construction sites and just start fucking with the dudes like, hey, give me a hammer, give me a hammer, I work. And the dudes are like freaking out,
Starting point is 00:46:42 like no, no, no, no, no, you gotta go. I'll start climbing ladders and shit, and filming this shit You know I had a guy that was up in a up in a up in a lift Cherry-picker, and I was you know this retarded character go hey come down and he and he brought the thing down I said open up give me a ride, and he brought me up Wow and people had I have a guy That's like been stalking me threatening to kill me when he sees me for making fun of retarded people I'm like bro. My brother was retarded, and he loves the I work character.
Starting point is 00:47:05 So yeah, that's what, yeah, it comes from a real place. I'm representing the community, if anything, like, yeah. Yeah, so that comes with the territory, do comedy. Everyone's always gonna be upset. There's always gonna be somebody upset. If the world learned to just lighten up a little bit and laugh at everything and be able to make fun of each other, you know, it's like,
Starting point is 00:47:21 if you do an Indian voice, you're racist. No, I'm just impersonating somebody who's not making fun of them or racist at all. Yeah, and it's like if you do an Indian voice, you're racist. No, I'm just in person. Somebody is not making fun of them or racist at all. And it's like, I'm not doing Indian. I'm doing Pakistani. That's right, buddy. That's what I mean. Even if you are making fun of them, it's like, yeah, you're making fun. We're like, yeah, OK. And I'm not exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Not Indian. Worst things out there than making fun. Yeah. And it's it is one of those things, too, because when they say like, don't make fun of voices, what they really mean is don't make fun of non-white voices, because you can make fun of white people. Right, do Italian. You can do the Italian or the Irish all day, but the minute you do anything outside of that, that's a problem.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Well, that's why my Indian voice, I only go with Pakistani, because I'll tell you, I'm not Indian, I'm Pakistani and I have nuke. I have nuke. You're Muslim. Yeah.
