Welcome to another episode of History Hyenas.
We are sitting here with the man behind many characters
that's right another one of these YouTube retards Ed Bassmaster yeah how
you doing how you doing I'm a retard yes yeah I'm kidding yeah you're a funny
guy thank you you're a funny funny guy I've been following you loves you yeah
thank you yeah long time I love the characters I do characters myself and
it's very nice when you can hide behind the character and just say a lot of wild things.
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
said before that's his real name. Yeah.
You changed your name and became a trans woman. Ed went on as Ed.
I did. I started living as her for a long time.
Yeah. Ed is Ed.
Yeah. When you're doing the characters, are you thinking as them as well? Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely
You do full training. That's why they still believe what you commit
Yeah, dude, and I gotta be honest you look fantastic your 53 year old dad and look at how I mean you look literally 25 years old
I know. Yeah, thanks. It's you know, thank you right? Thank you 52. I'm sorry about that. Sorry about that
Your matters. I didn't mean that and I wouldn't after 50 every year matters for you
Look really how's your cholesterol blood pressure? How we doing? Very good on top of it. I was medicated like
Eight years ago by my doctor and then I just said, you know, fuck this
I'm just gonna take control my life and I did and ever since then everything's normal
Wait, so you on pills though. 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
Psh, that dude.
Chip Diamond.
Chip Diamond.
Chip Diamond.
With the sick mullet.
Yeah, yeah.
And the Cosby sweater.
Yeah, the knockoff Cosby sweater.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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?
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,
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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
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.
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,
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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?
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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,
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
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,
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
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
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

Hyenas has there ever been a time because I'm curious about this. 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
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
Yeah, and then his boss tells him he's got to drive this convertible catalog pink Cadillac from Philly to Miami to deliver to Emilia
They just look at it guy and then it's just the travels along the way
The first stop is the gas station to gas up in Philly and test he's trying to hustle at the
gas station so testy and chip interact and it's pretty wild and it goes on and
on and on can you bring up that what's the first character because that one
always testy always testing you'd be great first tires that's your tires
change oh yeah yeah dude one of your characters and tires would be awesome
yeah I'll hit them up here right there always test money for plasma Money for plasma always testing. Yeah. Wait no what no I'm
talking about the first character that you said that went viral because I know
I know. Emilio just look at it. Is the just look at it. Just look at it. Yeah that's the
one because I know testing. Right there. Yeah dude. Look at how Jesse Googles that. Just look at
toy. Just look at toy. Yeah yeah yeah took a wrong turn pal. Yeah, you're halfway there. Just look at toy
Yeah, that was this guy. Yeah, that's me. Yeah. Yeah, I know
Look at that nice and shiny 78. Yeah, good look really good
That's a good hairstyle, bro
Long Island New York garage Every day of its life.

It's real clean and it can work on it. It's...
The things are not packed real clean.
Right, right, right.
Consideration. 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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Do you really think you have to spend big bucks
or tons of time in the kitchen
to make delicious food at home?
Yeah, I do.
Well, you don't.
Yeah.
You don't because with every plate,
you get restaurant level deliciousness
week after week, day after day,
with recipes like crispy buffalo ranch chicken and cheesy Mexican street
corn hash. I like that the cheesy Mexican street corn hash that could stay in this
country. Yeah so whatever if you're on a date you got a Mexican girl you can
impress her because you got a Mexican coming over you go whoa how do you know
she goes how do you know how to make cheesy Mexican street corn hush?
You say, because I love Mexican people.
Yeah.
You'll spend less on these flavor packed homemade meals
than you would on your normal groceries
or at a restaurant, so you got a little more money
to buy for booze to get her drunk.
It's what it is.
And then, do you really want to just cook
the same things over and over again?
No, you can up your dinner game in 30 minutes or less with every plate's clear, easy to follow recipes, because I'm telling
you the Mexican street corn hash, it's nice. I like to eat it out of people's butts.
Yeah, thanks for sending it to us. It's delicious. Thanks to every plate. They're constantly
rotating weekly recipes delivered right to your door. I like it. No friction delivered
right to your door. You'll always have the best answer to, what's for dinner, mom?
Because here's the truth, okay?
Here's the truth, this is why every plate is really saving us in many ways, because
if you liked the way the Mexican street coin hash was cooked at your favorite restaurant
in the corner, the guy who cooked it probably got thrown out.
So now at least every plate you can make it at home.
Just what it is.
So what are you waiting for?
Dig into these flavor packed meals your household will love.
New customers can enjoy this special offer of only $1.99 a meal.
Wow.

Yeah, but that but that means you are an artist, you know
Like yeah, I guess cuz Tony the guy that I'm doing the shows with now Tony DeBoss who's a New York comic
Oh, yeah, Tony decommedy Yeah, yeah. So I'm on a
run with him right now. And he's hilarious, by the way, like

like a wrecking ball. But anyway, he's he knows every
single show every dollar we're supposed to be making like he's
so on top of it. He's screwed up these clubs. And after the show,

Yeah, everything's fine.
Yep.
You're doing it every everything, you know.

I forgot who said this, or maybe I heard it.
They said, you know, obviously, you know,
we're in this career, only gonna live once.
Like do what you wanna do.
If you get really famous, you get really famous.
But like, Sid, sometimes like when you have kids,
like when you get really famous,
that puts a lot of pressure on your own children.
Like that may not be what's best for your kids
because then your kids may feel like,
oh, I'm never gonna live up to my famous mom or dad.
Well, it sounds like his son's doing pretty good.
Eight million followers already.
There he is.
Eight million views, but still good.
Eight million views.
Exactly, son.
So good.
But maybe he'll become the Steph Curry to your Del Curry.
Maybe he'll allow you.
Hey, I mean, I don't ever push it
or persuade them to do it.
Like if they wanna do sports, do sports.
None of my kids did sports. I't in a sports. Yeah, you know
But you go on the road and you're not like I got to film every second for content the behind-the-scenes
No, I'm not doing that. No, it's it's and you know getting back to Tony who I love Tony's like my guy

It's just what it is.
Yanni's got, Yanni sundowns,

He's sundown.
Yeah, Tony looks kind of Italian, kind of Mexican.
Yeah, what is the boss?
He's Palestinian.
Whoa.
Yeah, he doesn't want anybody to know, but.
Look at that.
And you support that?
No, I'm kidding.
Oh, you know.
That's good, man. But he's a Christian Palestinian, he's not taught. You know, he's not political. He's just like me
We're like two peas in a pot. He's the best. I'm done. 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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
