Let me do my Joey and Louie out at a fucking Wednesday night.
Hundred seat place in New Jersey.
When was this last night?
Oh shit.
I know we were like storytelling.
A hundred seat place.
So those people in the front, everybody paid 25 bucks to get in.
Yeah.
Got the show of a lifetime.
Yeah.
Everybody was this close to those two fucking monsters.
Three fucking monsters.
Well, dude, it's not even like it.
And that's what last night I figured out.
Look, man, there's a bunch of us who are in this group and some people are going to think
this person's funnier and some people don't. It just depends on the group. And some people are going to think this person's funnier.
And some people don't.
It just depends on the style.
And some people are going to like this show more and this show more.
But we're all in the same bubble.
Right?
Joey's out here.
You know where he is?
To me, he's Patrice O'Neill.
He's old Cat Williams.
That type of laughter.
Yeah, I believe that.
I'm not actually surprised by that.
I mean, I think he is so singularly unique.
And when he gets angry in the veins.
Cock, sucka.
Yeah, dude.
When the veins start to.
When you have a story, like, dude can tell a story about kidnapping people and it's funny.
Hilarious.
It's like like this is objectively
horrible but like not yeah this is horrible he went to jail for it but he's like that's the thing
too like he knows it and he's like a reformed or whatever you want to call it like but but he
didn't lose his edge or his humor it's like i'm a good person but he's actually the definition of
all this all this bullshit that's gone on for the last like 15 years 10 years is like i'm not a bad person you know
what i mean i always refer to him as a moral criminal he really does he has a code it's like
it's like dexter being a fucking serial killer you know it's like oh but he does it for real
he would so for real why and this is why i've been calling him a moral criminal forever
he would take so when i was single and raising the three kids and I had zero money.
Literally used to put them on leashes.
If I had $40 or $20 on the counter, he would take it.
But then he would be like, hey, let me treat you to lunch.
I want the money back.
I'd be like, are you?
He'd be like, you get it next time.
I'm like, I think I got it this time too
I think
I got it both times
technically
but
but like
I
would
wait by the way
was that like a
a pop in
or that was the schedule
schedule
wow
fuck
so there's a place
that's called the dojo comedy
in this
whatever they told me the namejo of Comedy in this whatever.
They told me the name of the town in Jersey 30 times.
I'm like, I'm never going to remember.
I've never heard of it.
Dojo of Comedy in Jersey.
100 seats.
And he goes there once a month.
Louie did 45 last night and I think did an hour of his new stuff.
No way.
And by the way, Louie's.
And I was.
I didn't know he was out there like that.
Dude.
And I was. Look, I'm a bit of a I love comedy.
I fucking love it.
I love watching other people.
I didn't watch Louis for a long time because I know that we both talked about kids and our kids.
And I never wanted to be like, oh, I can't talk about that now because Louis.
Yeah.
First or whatever.
Yeah.
Because we all have different takes on.
Right. So I watched him last night and he had his notebook out and he was writing a set
list with his hand and i was like i'm so glad to see that other people still do that like that's
how i remember things too and i am so much funnier for stand-up when i write with my hand if i'm
writing yeah it's the same writing yeah if I'm writing like
when I wrote my book it was all tight because I I type different than more I
write more colloquially yeah my hand and when I'm on a computer you make it like
it's more like a book yeah I got that Google word thesaurus going a lot.
Yeah.
Another tab.
Another tab.
I don't have that here.
I'm like, I'm just going to say stupid because that's the word I know.
Yeah.
Right?
But I also like when I go to shows, obviously, and I know the difference between being in
a club versus touring your hour.
I like watching them work. Watching a comedian go back to his book and i'd rather i'd rather
a workout night than like so yeah but clean night but you guys are are are in the minority i would
tell you really i have because when i bring my stuff on stage i will hear people like get comments
you had to bring a notebook aren't you professional those are the people who are like i paid money and
i deserve to see like a perfect show whatever it's like it's like
i i makes me laugh when somebody's like i heard this heard this story on the podcast i'm like yeah
motherfucker that's sometimes when i think of jokes or yeah also it's that's a writing session
that we're putting out yes right right we were actually just talking about because he's starting
to do some uh stand up with the sketch uh they have a sketch show and they're doing a tour and they're doing some stand-up.
And like there are times on the podcast I hear him just off the top say something.
Yeah.
And like that would be funnyed off into the abyss.
Literally when we finish the podcast, they'll be like, you know, what clips do you want or what did you talk about?
I don't know.
I don't remember.
You almost forget what you said.
A minute ago. Let alone what we were saying in the beginning where like we didn't even – like I just wish I had the foresight to like write all those down or remember all those because those are the equivalent for us of like an open mic night.
But you guys were like, I'm going to do this open mic thing and keep track of it and know it and – where we were just like write a million blogs or blast off a million podcasts.
And it's like that was all funny shit but we just it's gone i've said this before but it's like the standard that people hold comedians to is so different than almost
every other art form you don't go to a journey concert and be like heard don't stop believing
what else you got right right as a matter of fact if you don't hear don't stop believing yeah but
if you hear a snippet like somebody you know rogan's last special a lot of fact if you don't hear don't stop believing yeah but if you hear a snippet
like somebody you know rogan's last special a lot of people were getting on him because
he that's a joke he told on a podcast that's a joke four years ago he right well there was
covid and nobody put out any material and he still had a joke he wanted to use and what the
stories and shit that like you know you'll be like yo tell him that story about that time and
it's like i've told the story a hundred times and i'm gonna tell it again and people are gonna enjoy
it i just started figuring this out so maybe my most viewed listened to requested stories a story
about me throw pulling a prank on my buddy i throw a bachelor party and instead of a stripper i hire
a big woman to come beat him up yeah it's a good one yeah it's my right but for a
long time you know people were like after the shows they were like oh i wish you had told that
story yeah and i was like well i don't tell that anymore and then i i went to see burt i was gonna
say i mean they want that dude it was almost part of it like Rocky Horror Picture Show. Yes. You can repeat it with him.
They wanted it so, and I was like, who the fuck am I?
They're paying the ticket.
Yep.
I know, you know, I don't want to go so far like, I'm an artist.
I don't repeat.
Yeah.
Also, fuck me.
Like, these are the people that are coming to my show.
They are my fans.
I'm going to do, when I come back to cities, i do 45 to 50 minutes of new material every year
regardless but you want to stick around to the end and listen to that story yeah yeah it's like
you had a concert that's the best time to tell a story when someone else sets you up as like
dude you gotta tell the story
if you went to see bon jovi and he was like I'm not playing
living on a prayer
I'd be like
fuck you
you're not
I'm not here for your new stuff
I would want it to be like
you can put the mic out
and they will sing the song
they will say the joke with you
how flattering is that
but by the way
I get
and I get it
why people are like
I want to do my old stuff
I get it
I get it
I get it
but if you put it at the end.
You have to have really good old stuff.
You know what I mean?
If you're repeating just like blah, but when you have a heavy hitter,
big beautiful woman beating up on your buddy, like, you know,
then you tell it again.
But if you went to see Dice, would you like to hear a couple nursery rhymes?
Of course.
Yeah.
I mean, that's like, that's what.
Wouldn't you want to hear?
And you know the punchline that's coming, and it doesn't matter.
Well, you know what, though?
As you say this, I'm just thinking, we were just having this discussion the other day
about when the Red Sox play Sweet Caroline when they're down like 11-0.
But it's like, he was saying, you know, some dude spent like his paycheck to get here,
and they want to fucking sing Sweet Caroline.
The kids are there.
The kids are there.
It's like, it doesn't matter.
They don't even know what the score is.
And I never thought about that until I started having kids and shit.
It was like, you just want the whole
experience whether they win or lose and as like a business and an entity they got to do all that
but when you're the diehard fan which is probably the the equivalent of like a comedy nerd who like
watches all the specials and knows all your material you're like turn this off you know
whatever and it's like yeah but you're the you're the dork you're the you're the annoying asshole
you know it's true like there's got to be a, yeah, but you're the dork. You're the annoying asshole, you know?
It's true.
Like, there's got to be a blend.
I like the way Bargatze did it on the Tennessee Kid,
where he had, like, the three updates,
where it was, what was it?
Ice coffee, no milk.
Ice coffee with milk.
It was the, not zooarium, but whatever.
He had, like, three little updates, little updates but he like retold the
story to set it up for the new updates and i was like oh that's kind of a perfect world of having
but you can't force an update on your old story that's what bert did when i saw him last and i
didn't watch bert for a while either i tried not to watch anybody that had kids and told kids stories because I was like, I don't want to.
I don't want to.
Anyone would say parents have the same.
That's what I'm saying.
But I don't want it to be like, oh, I can't tell that story.
It would turn you off.
I want to still feel like, oh, this was it.
Because did I think of it on my own or did I think of it because.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
OK.
And so I watched Bert and I've heard the machine story and, but he, what he would
do is he would, he would depart from the story and, and do a little offshoot and tell a new
joke in the story and come back to it.
Right.
It's like, this is the right way to do it.
Sure.
But people want to, they want it.
And like like I think
So I've started doing that
On my late shows
Yeah
Which is just a late show
If you want to stick around
And hear the story at the end
I'm going to tell it
So you like end the show
Basically and then you're like
I'm going to stick around
And do a couple more
You guys can leave if you want
This is the end of the new material
Yeah yeah yeah
But if you want to hear
If you want to hear
This story
You let them know
If you came for this story
I'm going to give it to you
Yeah yeah
I'm going to give it to you yeah yeah I'm gonna give it to you
I'll be your dancing monkey baby
yeah
I'll fucking dance
for sure
but yo there are just no rules
there are no rules anymore
I don't think
I mean I feel like you guys
like in comedy
you almost
do still follow
like a rule
rules and a code
but like if you
didn't want to
it's like when I
when I hear about like
someone who's like a non-comic
who is now like working in clubs and shit and people are mad about or whatever it's like if i if i can
rent that space or i can fill those seats like shut the fuck up i'm gonna tell it this way i'm
gonna do this amount of time or that amount of time or i'm gonna use a fucking screen or you
know music whatever man my job and this has been a revelation in the last five years for me you know because i used to care
so much about what other comics if they like if they were going to come into the room and watch
my set you know my job is to entertain the people who bought the tickets to the show yeah and and
then also to be authentic to who i am and so i lend myself i i like to have fun i like the people
in front of me to have fun I'm gonna
make people uncomfortable sometimes but in a different way than say Hinchcliffe makes people
uncomfortable right and that one is not Puerto Ricans yeah one is not better or worse right but
who who are you standing in front yeah and so I know who's coming to see me also I mean I think
about I guess that's why sometimes someone like
Attell gets like so much respect
because it's like he's a comics comic he makes the comics
laugh but I know for myself like
I know there are tremendously talented and funny
people here I barely watch
or consume any of their content because it's like
you're my co-worker and like you said
I don't want to repeat there's a million reasons why
someone who's contemporary
or a competitor or
a co-worker or whatever might not laugh at your shit or want to consume your shit as opposed to
the people who you're actually going after yeah it's like you know if i was trying to make dave
portnoy laugh i you know i'd be out of business but you know the people like me are you playing
to the back of the room right right because if you're playing to the back of the room? Right, right. Because if you're playing to the back of the room, that's not a recipe for success.
Look, dude, I will do an hour of stand-up.
And I, look, outside of, say, I'm a storyteller.
And outside of, I would say, Joey Diaz, Ron White.
I'm not going to say I'm better than everybody.
I'm also not going to say anyone's better than me.
We're all in the same.
It just depends on what style you like.
I put those two dudes in a separate.
The way Ron does it is so unique and so slow.
The voice and everything.
It's like, and Joey is Joey.
When we went to Austin for Bert and Tom's Poroso debut,
and Ron White came, and that was our first time ever,
my first time ever being in the room with Ron White.
He didn't tell jokes or anything, but it was like,
you could tell every other comic looked at him differently.
As soon as he starts talking, and when he's on stage,
it's Southern Cosby pre-rape
probably during rape but there's no
pre-rape right
it's all kind of continuous rape
pre-rape
with Cosby's just getting cocktails
that was his first album Bill Cosby pre-rape
first album
he raped for so long
dude that's actually one of my favorite bits ever
The Chappelle bit about that
When he first came back
Chappelle had a
I want to say maybe 12 minutes
15 minutes
He's giving a history lesson
He started in the civil rights movement
Or whatever it was
Through contemporary history
And you're just giving Chappelle the benefit of the doubt
Because he's giving a history lesson yeah whatever and he's
like and that whole time bill cosby was raping people and i was like oh my god the payoff was
incredible decades of rape what's crazy about him to me is that we will give him five minutes of
silence when i mean silence of him talking without jokes. Right. Because we all know.
You know something's coming.
That we don't see coming.
You didn't see that.
I was almost interested.
I was like, wow, I'm learning about the Black Panthers and all this shit.
Amazing.
You're like, that whole thing was one setup for a Bill Cosby joke?
Yeah.
And you know how much confidence you have to have in your one punchline
that it's gonna work yeah you're giving because then you just wasted like you know a quarter
of your show fucking crazy dude anyway what were you saying you're saying uh somebody's
is cosby i totally interrupted you there wrong way wrong way right right right oh yeah dude like so
but i don't even remember what i was talking about but those guys dude like as far as storytelling goes
there's so many of us who are doing it now
right right and but that's
like it's you know
your story like the best part about
that is there is there's not going to be
I guess maybe with kids I understand your
point but for the most part there's no
stealing jokes there's no parallel thinking
there's like this is what fucking happened to me
it's why I started steering away from jokes and topical stuff.
Because somebody else somewhere is writing that joke.
Unless you're Mitch Hedberg and your joke is so far off the wall.
That nobody could even conceive it.
No, dude.
But how many people have told the, you want to build a wall to Mexico? Who do you think is building the wall? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, dude, but how many people have told the, you want you want to build a wall to
Mexico, who do you think is building the wall? Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, right, right, right.
It's been done. Right?
Yeah. But everybody thinks of it as like, well, I thought
of that. Right. And they did. Yeah.
They did, but it's not too
far to go for that joke, right?
It's like Twitter now, if you don't like
not even now, because I don't use it like
I used to, but like Twitter had a period where it was like if i am not up on it at all times if i'm not checking
it every second like if i'm five minutes later i'm late like someone has made the joke the joke
happened okay i'll give you a good example one of the last joke jokes i told it was a joke basically
it was um you know my wife and i were talking about who are you know you're
what do you call it when you you're like you're hall pass yeah and um i was like who's your hall
pass and she said brad pitt and i was like that's a great choice and she said who's yours i said
janet who lives next door i can fuck mine i got a shot let's be realistic right that's great and i
gotta i gotta somebody sent out you know patrice told nice to you stealing a patrice joke i'm like I can fuck mine. I got a shot. Let's be realistic. Right. And I got a,
I got a,
somebody sent out,
you know,
Patrice told nice to you stealing a Patrice joke.
I'm like,
I never heard it.
Somebody else said,
Larry,
the cable guy told that joke.
I'm like,
this is what guys think about.
Like these are jokes that dudes come up with,
which is why I never watched Bert or Louie.
Right.
Because I never wanted even a seed in my head did I think of that right or was
that already in my head and that's how that joke came out yeah sure so for me it was not ever worth
it and going back and listening to old Louie CK is like fucking amazing I'm like have you heard
of this guy he's fucking great holy shit dude I remember being on like a road trip
with my dad once
it must have been
a hockey road trip
and
I was listening to
I'm so bad
with the names
of comedy albums
but he has the bit
about like
arguing with his kids
about
like how they have to eat
he's like
you have to eat
the government knows
I have you
like if I die
like
he has like he's like that's a great one he's like you have to eat the government knows i have you like if i die like he's like i have your papers like if you don't like i'm they're gonna find out
it's like i'm gonna get in trouble not that my kids are gonna be fucking malnourished and dead
i'm gonna get in trouble and dude we were in absolute i I've never seen my dad laugh like that. We were in fucking tears.
But then he gets to a bit where he's like...
Then he Louies it.
And then he goes one step too far,
which is where I think it's funny,
and then my dad stops laughing.
But he's like...
He wasn't holding his kids down,
but he was chewing up food
and blowing in their assholes with a straw.
And my dad was like, what are we listening to?
He's like, you're not going to eat, I'll make you.
Game time.
Game time.
Game time, game time, game time.
You know we love live events.
You know we love being in the building, whether it's a concert, a game,
a comedy show.
We always use game time.
I used it this weekend. I went to Wicked, the play, whether it's a concert, a game, a comedy show. We always use GameTime. I used it this weekend. I went to
Wicked, the play, not the
movie.
I forgot what I was going to say.
But GameTime is
constantly evolving, constantly changing,
constantly making things better. Right now
they have the GameTime Picks filters.
It filters out the fluff
to show you incredible deals on great seats
so you don't have to waste time searching through thousands of tickets.
Like I said, I was looking at Wicked the other day.
Let's see what else is in town for Game Time right now.
Then Army Notre Dame this weekend at Yankee Stadium.
Rams are playing the Jets.
You can probably skip that one.
Saints are playing the Giants.
You can probably skip that one.
Blues at Rangers. You can probably skip that one if are playing the Giants, you can probably skip that one Blues at Rangers You can probably skip that one if I'm being honest
Everyone's kind of falling apart
Red Islanders, you can probably skip that one
There's a lot of good stuff to see
Whether or not
Tate McRae, bang, there you go
Nope, that's in September of 2025
I don't know why it's on top of the app
Must have just gone on sale, whatever
There's always good stuff to see
And you can find that on the GameTime app All you have to do is pull. Whatever. There's always good stuff to see.
And you can find that on the GameTime app. All you have to do is pull up your
chosen event, turn on the GTPix setting
at the top of the screen, or browse the best
local GameTimePix deals near you
on your GameTime app homepage.
What are you waiting for? I'm going to go get
those Islanders tickets right now. No, I'm not.
That's a lie. Download the GameTime app
today and use code KFC to easily
score great deals with the new GameTimePix time is it game time who yeah but that's last night for me
it's very rare maybe chewed up that i will sit in a room and watch other comics and be inspired
yeah at this point in your career at least right like, but it's what I love about stand-up so much. And I am a comedy nerd, dude.
I love comics.
I live in Vegas now.
I would say the thing that I miss the most is sitting in a green room and chopping it up with people.
That energy of sitting in a room with comics is a ton of fun.
But watching Joey and Louie last night, it's still for me.
I'm like, these guys really. And watching Louie work shit it's still for me I'm like these guys really
and watching Louie
work shit out
and same with Joe
Joe's just trying
but their process
and like
how meticulous
Louie was with his notes
and all that shit
I'm like oh this is still
what it takes
I thought he was
I kind of was under the impression
when he did the garden
that he was going to
like disappear for a while
I guess it has been a while
but I thought
he was going to be like
you know we'll see Louie in like 10 years.
He's so prolific.
He just keeps coming.
It's fucking crazy.
It's funny you say your favorite part of comedy.
And what I feel like a lot of comedians say is it's the green room.
Yeah.
Which is funny because that's just the locker room.
But I think a lot of comedians played sports.
It's the camaraderie.
Yeah.
I feel like there's a couple sports comics.
But for the most part, it's like MMA.
But it's very rare.
You, Soder, Shane.
Yeah.
But for the most part, you're not.
Sam with the Knicks.
I guess it's more and more.
But there was a time where we would be interviewing guys.
And you bring up sports.
And it's like.
I do remember. I remember doing a sports radio show. I forget where I was. I guess it's more and more, but there was a time where we would be interviewing guys and you bring up sports and it's like, whew.
I do remember.
I remember doing a sports radio show.
I forget where I was.
Miss Chicago, maybe.
And this guy was asking me headline questions.
Yeah.
And I answered, and we were talking about the Red Sox, and I answered, and I talked about basically everybody who was in their bullpen at the time.
Yeah.
And he was like, whoa.
Oh, okay.
So you know sports, right?
Dude, I'm from Boston.
Fuck yeah.
If I didn't, I would have had to sleep outside.
Boston is a little different, but I can understand.
Boston, New York, Philly.
Yeah, that northeast area.
But if you are up on stage every night and you're kind of an artsy,
think about it, you're artsy nerds writing fucking little poems, you know so like it doesn't make it makes sense in that regard but
also uh most like you're you're like a dude right like most stand-ups though weren't the quarterback
on the football right right right right you're not looking at a bunch of physiques up there like
i bet you that guy can bench 350 probably not you're like he ate 2500 milligrams
of weed looks like that guy that's the difference for sure not a lot of athletic physiques walking
on stage it is like if you think about it like we're all just looking for our locker room whether
or not you can play sports or not like that's how poetic is that gaming is right yeah but yeah but honestly because
you get you get a locker room when you're a kid like you get you get you're given it you know
you're you're allowed to play sports you're supposed to play sports you do that and then
when you're an adult like that goes away because unless you're a professional athlete you know
it's gone and then it's like well where's my locker room but you wonder why that's like a
corona ad find your locker room find your locker room It's a great t-shirt. You wonder why people are like, everyone's so tribal.
We've always been tribal.
We're always looking for that community of like-minded people.
That's who I like to chop it up with.
Whatever locker room it is.
The internet is the devil because it lets people into yours.
It's like you're not supposed to be here.
You don't have to do anything to earn your way into my locker right right you just created a screen name i'm like i guess
this guy's in my locker room now you joined it's like no you weren't invited you're not good enough
you're not funny enough and you're killing the vibe yeah you're in the locker room touching
everyone's dick which is not good listen we're doing weird stuff with our dicks but you're
taking it too far the locker room's fun because we do weird stuff with our dicks but you're taking it too far the locker room's fun because we do weird stuff with our dicks but you no yeah we don't touch it reverse like that that's weird shit
it sounds gatekeeping to be like the internet lets anyone into your locker but i feel like
it's also like human nature you want to earn it you want to have like something to say like i deserve to be here yeah and i think on the internet
i don't think you get it as much as in a comedy locker i mean i feel like i get it more than i
have in a long time now with the podcast without of order with like other shit like there's
it's all real life like oh i earned it i i you've spoken to enough comics who have sit
sat here where you're like oh i kind of get this community yeah yeah but to just pop somebody in
look i i wrote on tv shows for many years and so a writer's room for somebody who's never sat in a
writer's room i don't think i could do that is fucking the things that are said in a
writer's room you know what chelsea lately on one writer's room day we googled because chewy was a
midget we googled life expectancy of the midget for a long time and then called him in we were
like hey you're doing pretty good
you're doing great man you're really doing great but there's there was no
they you know there was no limit there was a there was i i wipe my nuts on this dude's bagel
and chelsea was like before you do that let's get the film crew in here
so we filmed it and put it on the show and she thought it was just the funniest thing so for
the next like month or so she would be like hey go put your balls on and we would just but anywhere
outside of a writer's room people are like hey you can't put your balls on other people's stuff
it's a it's a people you trust that it's people like you have more leeway than anyone else in my
life will yes you got you got to be sure that you have to be positive
you have that leeway,
but once you have it, you have it.
There are things that-
Like grabbing your girlfriend's ass.
You're like, I can't grab a random girl's ass.
I got this leeway with her.
She let me do it.
That's one of my favorite-
There was a period of time
where in the beginning of Barstool,
the commenters were really funny people.
Before commenters,
it just became like shitbags who just suck.
And they were all-
I was probably like 25 or 26 when I started, people before commenters became like shitbags who just suck and they were they were all i was
probably like you know 25 or 6 when i started and it was just all what i envisioned to be like 40
50 year old guys who just like fucking hate their wives and and just had like a locker room it was
that was their locker room and i just remember one of them being like it was just such a like
a profound but like simple thing you're just like isn't it crazy that like once you have a girlfriend you just can like touch their tits and like grab their ass and stuff but like
if you did that to a regular girl like you're in trouble but she just lets you do it because you
have some sort of like social contract however you word it and i was like that is just it's so
true it's like i pick you and you have to let me touch your ass i never thought of it like that
before but it is true.
I mean, like, you know, it's just...
I do think it's my wife that would get me thrown in jail.
For sure.
But we just have this unspoken bond.
We're like, yo, you get to do it.
You see that?
Guess what I get to do.
I'm going to be touching things and exploring holes,
and that's just it.
But you wouldn't flinch.
You walk by your girl in the kitchen,
you just smack her ass, and it's like nobody flinches on either side you do that in you know in a bar
yeah the wrong person you're going to jail it's so crazy but it all goes back to like
the idea of the locker room and like-minded people and you're allowed to get away with
what the community says is okay in those but that's why when the outsiders come in it's like
hey it's weird you you don't know the rules like you're not playing by the rules we're playing by
the rules that's right when someone comes in is like that's not appropriate well maybe not in
your kitchen yeah right it's it's it's uh it's playing basketball with hockey players yeah they
don't follow the rules they just start playing hockey we're playing basketball with hockey players. They don't follow the rules. They just start playing hockey.
We're playing basketball.
Stop fucking checking me.
Stop pulling me down.
You're grabbing me.
You're ruining the game.
That's the internet. You're playing Knicks basketball.
Stop it.
Yeah, right.
It's so funny.
We're playing Warriors basketball here.
We're shooting.
We're just playing fun.
You're playing 90s Knicks.
Stop it.
By the way, I couldn't wait to see you just to ask you about
the jets josh hates the jet like loves the jets being bad soda said the same thing yesterday
there's something about it's not the jets it's aaron rogers oh but there's also yo aaron i'm
i'm there's a part of me that's like relieved that he sucks because we talked about it forever
and especially him as a brady guy like yeah thank
you the the the the the the words that got thrown around with aaron rogers it's like
if you want to say that aaron rogers has like physically the best arm when it comes to throwing
a ball angles yeah that's like that accuracy that's like one tenth of the quarterback position
right yeah it's like it's like having a nice swing in baseball. It doesn't matter if it's pretty or not.
Yeah, Willie Beaupain is the greatest hitter of all time.
Right, he had a great swing.
I did love watching him hit a ball, dude.
He's going to put a dent in the monster.
Threw the ball.
You would see him hit one ball, and you're like,
this dude's the best hitter of all time, right?
He put a dent in dead center once.
It wasn't even a monster anymore.
It was like back in the day,
they had that platform where they filmed the game from.
It was like back there. And they're like like i don't think we've ever seen this
get dead no yeah 450 feet glenn allen hill on the cubs too you would hit him like over over the
fucking apartments that people you know what i mean like but but that does not make you the
greatest hitter of all time you know it's like uh and aaron rogers was that guy for me for so long
and the jets signed him and i was like fuck. I've been talking shit about this guy forever.
And there was this part of me that was like, you know, if he does what he does and the defense is the defense.
And, like, if it all comes together and, like, you know, shame on every Jets fan for ever thinking it would come together.
The only thing I'll say is the Achilles was just like – I mean, I guess that's part of the problem, though, is you signed a 40-year-old guy.
Yeah.
But, like, that's just such the problem though, is you signed a 40 year old guy, but like,
that's just such a freak occurrence that probably fucked everything up.
And who knows in an alternate universe that doesn't happen and who knows,
but it did.
And it's cause he's old.
And like,
that's part of your risk when you sign a vet like that.
And,
but now that it's over,
it's like,
I'm like,
dude,
I don't like dudes who cause problems and get people fired
and pretend like
that was me
you and Robycella
what are you talking about
if you do it say it fine
you brought in all your toys
we fired who you wanted fired
we catered to you like a little baby
and yes there's a whole bunch of other problems
but there's been several bunch of other problems.
But there's been several times where it's like, here's the ball with less than a couple minutes to go.
Do your thing.
And he just – it's like freeing out.
He's not a leader, which is like 70 percent of the quarterback position. How many Super Bowls after he won that first Super Bowl where you're like, oh, this dude is going to win every Super Bowl for the next 10 years?
He has one, bro.
That's what's crazy.
And one is what matters.
It's a sport where if you get your one, you're solidified.
But, you know, it's like, would you rather a Dan Marino?
Yeah, right.
There are just other people who it's like, I don't know.
It's also the, like, I'm a Patriots fan, one.
I'm a Brady fan, two.
This is, as my second favorite team,
this is probably my most successful season of all time.
Like, I was thinking about it the other day, watching.
I was like, Aaron Rodgers was falling apart.
Jets are done.
Fantastic.
Never have to even hear that ever again.
Cross that off the list.
Agreed.
Patrick Mahomes is having a season that Tom Brady wouldn't dream of having.
He's like 10 touchdowns, 10 picks. Like, never in never in a million years guess what that's off the list now right
and drake mays the guy drake may looks good drake mays not the guy oh he looks good he's your guy
but like i was watching would you like to have my jet right now everybody though so no yes you did
i never said that about Jacoby Brissette.
Maybe not you individually, but who was the other?
The one right before.
Mac Jones.
Yeah, I heard Mac Jones was the guy, too. No.
So, fuck off.
Mac Jones.
You guys are the fan base who cried wolf.
It's like, we had a couple good games.
Admittedly, there was a stretch with Mac Jones.
Not even a stretch.
There were games where I'd be like, he's showing signs.
He could have it. I've watched Drake play full games where I go a stretch in the back. Not even a stretch. There were games where I'd be like, he's showing signs. He could have it.
I've watched Drake May play full games where I go, that's the guy.
I was watching Herbert Burrow Sunday night going, these guys aren't doing anything Drake May can't do.
Take it easy.
Dude, let me ask you a question.
Drake May is so fucking good.
For a fan that watched Tom Brady, you'd think he would be a little more like, well, wait a minute, before you start crowning people.
But you guys just hand him out.
Crowns everybody. What was Brady's first first full season what were his stats like because i bet you i mean it
was a different league they weren't they weren't they weren't tom brady he wasn't i don't think he
was brady brady but he wasn't 607 but his interceptions were still down i mean because
my home's right now also something's going on that's my point he's left like you can compare
it to brady season one this is what i'm not doing it brady season 10 no but brady season one but my home season one is so
much better than brady season yeah right it's not even like like how didn't the second season he had
50 touchdowns or something crazy like that my homes yeah i don't i don't know but it wouldn't
shock me crazy yeah i i i'm with you though i because i'm such a homer i root against the
chiefs not because i actually dislike them no i just don't want their dynasty compared to that's
the most natural thing right and i i actually it's actually eased my brady defense too because it's
when when brady was brady and like we were humming yep i was like we're never gonna see this again in
the history of sports.
Mahomes is already close enough where I'm like, we will one day.
So, okay, I'm not as holding it in a death grip.
It actually happens pretty fast how you get the next.
It went from, it didn't quite go Montana-Brady,
but Brady wasn't that far after Montana either.
So it will happen.
There will be another Brady.
And even if Chiefs fans want to tell me, if a cheese fans arguing with me my home is better i'd be
like look man you're never gonna win me over that's fine because i felt what tom brady made
me feel but i see your argument like it's not a crazy argument you're making it really bummed me
out when people like kelsey's better than gronk i'm like i don't want to say yes because gronk
dealt with injuries that –
and a non-injury Gronk, who knows how long that dude plays
because he was running people over.
Right.
And I always wondered why he took such bigger hits than Kelsey.
Like he would take – maybe because he looked for the contact for a while.
I'm not sure.
Part of almost the problem with Gronk is why he was so awesome.
I think he also was risking his body and loved it.
It's like, well, now your back's broken, dude.
For the record, his first full season, Brady went 18 touchdowns, 12 interceptions.
Then he went 28 touchdowns, 14 interceptions.
Right.
So that first season feels somewhere in this Mahomey thing right now.
But this is that season one versus – I think this is Mahome's what?
2002, 28 touchdowns.
It's bold on football reference.
I think that was the league leader.
28 touchdowns?
Dude, the league back then was, I mean, that was when you had fucking
Antoine Smith was getting 30 carries a game.
Quarterbacks were slinging it.
And then in 2007, yeah, 50 fucking touchdowns.
50 touchdowns, eight interceptions.
That's like ridiculous numbers.
Yeah.
But what year did the league change?
Just really start to change?
After the tie law, like three picks, which was the 2004 Super Bowl maybe,
that was when the Colts complained after that that the –
They were manhandling.
They were manhandling the wide receivers,
and then the rules changed on five yards after contact and that's when i think that at least i think you know
football and basketball i would love to see a blend of the old and the new one of the i can't
watch regular season basketball but i'll watch socks i'll watch basketball yeah because they
let you body each other up but also the players body each other up but The regular season is just like bombs away, half-court shot,
half-court shot, half-court shot.
I get it, but it's like –
Boring.
It was cool when like two guys were doing it.
Like Damian Lillard and Steph Curry was like, whoa.
But when everybody does it, it's like this just sucks.
That's why I think Anthony Edwards is like the savior.
Like he's the only one and I think might restart another –
because it really is
like a like what steph curry was doing steph curry's cool because he just let the world know
you can do something like i think everyone was like you can't shoot from half court and then he
did it a regular looking dude and then there was fucking bro forget about regular dudes in the nba
there's highlights of sixth graders yeah there was a there was one that went viral where it was like sixth grade kids bombs away like three half court shots in a row and it
was like we just unlocked this thing like oh you can do that now but now i need another generation
to know that you can like go to the fucking hoop and hammer it on someone and that's the way to
play last night carl anthony towns he pump face at the three point line. Guy jumps. He steps up. And I'm like,
oh, he's got a clear path to the
shoot it. He's done. Then he
steps back and shoots another
three. I'm like, dude, two steps
to the rim, bro. It went in.
That's the problem.
I don't want to see Wemby shoot threes.
What are you doing out there, dude? You're nine feet
tall. You don't have to jump
to dunk. How easy is this fucking game for you? What are you doing out there, dude? You're nine feet tall. You don't have to jump to dunk. How easy is this fucking game for you?
What are we doing?
Get down by the basket.
He is.
Fucking crazy.
All due respect to Giannis with the freak nickname.
Like, he's a literal.
I love that Nike, his symbol is an alien.
He's literally an alien.
That man is.
He's an alien walking on the planet Earth.
He's blocking shots of other seven-footers going up for dunks without jumping.
He's just like.
He takes, like, two steps to get from the opposite free throw line to the fucking other hoop.
I don't watch basketball that closely, but I remember seeing a video where it was like.
He won defensive player of the year, did he?
No, he did not.
That was, like, people. They gave it to Rudy Gobert again, and it was like he won defensive player of the year did he no he did not okay so that was like people they gave it to rudy rudy gobert again and it was like right bullshit that
so this video was if you have any question why he he actually is the defensive player of the year
it was like he hit a three and then the team he hit they hit it on like got the ball down court
quick like they had like three guys down, and he stopped.
Everybody.
He stopped everyone.
The guy didn't go for a layup, and whoever he passed it to,
he closed out on.
And they passed it to another guy, and he blocked him. By the way, he can cover the three-point line.
I mean, honestly, when he puts his hands out,
it's probably at least two people, if not like three defenders.
Dude, it's crazy.
He's standing in the middle of the key,
and he just pivots on his left foot.
He can cover the three-point line and the basket at the same time.
And the baseline and the sideline.
It's fucking unreal.
But we're going towards like when I was growing up,
there was a guy named Ralph Sampson.
And he might have been the first big guy.
You're like, oh, he has got some – he's dribbling the ball.
Robert Parrish did not dribble the basketball up the court.
That was like, what are you doing? It was something like Ralph Sampson was like, I'm just going to do the court. You know, that was like, what are you doing?
It was something like Ralph Sampson was like, I'm just going to do this too.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And the guys started to – that was pretty early, so it still took a long time.
But even like by the time Shaq got to the league,
there was those highlights every now and then where he would just take it up the court
and people were like, what the fuck?
But nobody was getting in front of him.
As soon as he started running, people were like, that's two points.
I'm not taking that charge.

Dude, I was at my daughter's first basketball game.
She's in third grade.
How old is that third grade?
She's turning nine.
She's eight right now.
She's almost nine.
And we went to this court.
We went to this place.
It was like I felt like I was at like Rucker Park or I was like in the cage or something.
It was this tiny gym where they just had a row of fold-out seats that were it was like being
courtside your feet were on the fucking sideline yeah and then they had like a it was an auditorium
so they had a stage and this place was packed out and fucking sweaty and loud bro like loud
people i was like, oh, shit.
I was thinking, like, I'm just going to go watch these girls putter around.
And, I mean, people are like, box out, box out.
Get the rebound.
You were like, I should have brought better snacks.
I should have brought Capri Sun.
I should have come correct.
It was so fucking unbelievable to watch it, man.
And I had.
Dude, I remember I coached my kids team yeah
and i played lower level college baseball and so i know and we used to the division one teams used
to come down because i played in texas and you would see the difference between us and the
division the division one players they had all five tools yeah right and all of them played
shortstop and pitch on their high
school team every single one of them right and on my team like we had like a first baseman you know
the dude who could hit his hands are super fast but he was short and fat it took him like he was
going station to station yeah we had a bunch of those dudes on our team but you the difference
and so on i'm coaching these kids,
I would tell people at the beginning of the year,
I watch tryouts, nobody's going pro.
None of your kids are going pro.
I'm telling you right now.
So let's take it easy on screaming from the stands
because you're not going to be helping any of them.
There was this one dude who he wore the short gym coach,
those shorts, and his son like to pick flowers in the
ice in the outfield yeah and he he hated it he was like pay attention yeah and so he came up to me
one day and he was like look my son wants to play shortstop and i turned to it i go do you want to
play shortstop he's like yeah and it was one of those all dirt fields oh i know those well i'm
playing bouncers are never true yeah yeah yeah that you're just like they're coming fast you're coming fast
in a hot you look like it's here and it's here or it's here so we put the kid is short he's not
paying attention ball gets it to him bounces up hits him in the chest and uh so i run up and he's
and the whole team's around him there It was like 10 year olds, right?
And so everyone's concerned for this kid, all the other players.
And the guy runs on the field.
He's like, get up.
You're okay.
Get up.
You're okay.
And this dude, he was squatting down.
Oh no.
And this one kid goes, this one kid goes, Mr.
Thompson, your penis is hanging out.
And that guy never came back to another fucking game.
He was just like, oh i probably should be on a list dude it's funny it's funny you say this kid got hit in the chest uh so keith my son just um joined a travel team and he was
like how old he is seven so he's that's crazy this travel team yeah well but he well he's he's
on an eight he's like playing a little bit up.
So we went from, like, coach pitch, no umpires, no outs,
just everybody gets the hit, and he's fucking hitting.
I throw it like a dart to him, and it's, like, the same place every time.
He's hitting dingers.
He thinks he's fucking Babe Ruth.
We go to play on a travel team.
He's in the deep end, and these kids are fucking awesome.
I'm convinced that, like, all these kids are going to be professional athletes one day i'm like you can't be better than this at the age of like seven or eight so they're also ridiculous they have some kids have sliding mitts and shit it's
just like like first of all none of you are sliding at first well you're like no but none
of you have like broken hands that you need to protect like but they want to look like i immediately
rolled my eyes at that but like i wore an Iverson shooting sleeve. Absolutely.
Same shit.
Same shit.
I didn't even play basketball. I played CYO basketball for like three years.
I wore a shooting sleeve.
That would look cool.
Fuck yeah.
So Keegan's in over his head, and he's learning trial by fire.
So it's a tough season, and we're working through it all.
But anyway, so he's up at the plate, and I'm like, he's too afraid to swing.
And I'm like, bro, just swing the bat three times.
I don't care where the fucking balls are.
First pitch, right at him, he has to turn to get out of the way.
He thumps in the chest, and I'm talking the whole –
He turned outward?
Yeah, like he turned away like this, and it was so outside.
Like it was such a wild pitch.
Boom, like thud like that.
We all hear it like and i i've
never been prouder because i was like that's it we are never playing baseball again because i know
he's gonna be like we had just come from flag football where he was crying if like someone
pulled his flag let alone getting a fucking ball to the chest it hurts you're embarrassed the whole
nine and i had uh there was like a netting that you had to go under right and i put so i put my head under to i immediately ran on the field being like a i've
heard horror stories of like kids get hit the chest and fucking dying heart stops whatever
and b i was like he's gonna be crying and i want to just like scoop him up and get him away and by
the time i went under and got my head up he was running to first just smiling and everyone was
kind of like oh fuck yeah. And it was like,
I've never,
it was just like the range of emotions are swinging, you know?
But I was ready to run on the field too
the same way that guy was.
What did you say to him
when you got in the car?
Well, right away, first of all,
he was like,
I think there's going to be a bruise there.
There's going to be a bruise there.
Awesome.
And I was like, yeah.
I was like, dude,
you're the toughest guy in the world.
You're the fucking man.
You're the strongest guy.
I bet you he felt good about himself, right?
100%.
I was short of hitting a home run.
That was probably the coolest thing that could have happened to him.
He was telling everybody.
Yeah, dude.
It was great.
I bet you he drew stitches.
He wanted there to be a bruise so bad.
I was like, bro, that pitch was like 23 miles an hour.
There's not going to be a bruise.
But put it this way.
It was enough, though, that all the dads were asking me if he wore one of those chest protectors that kids wear.
Like Kevlar?
Well, kids wear those now because there's like these freak occurrences.
They do?
It's like a specific baseball thing that it's like a little plastic kind of chest protector.
Under your uniform?
Under your uniform, yeah.
It's a little bit extreme, but there's stories of kids getting line drives And pitches and shit
Where I think it hits you in your heart
When other dads are asking you
If your son's wearing fucking equipment
Because he ate it
And I was like no it's natural
It's that clancy blood
I got hit by it I would have been like
How
I wore a
I wore lacrosse
Rib protectors
Because I had mono
And
If I got hit in the spleen
I would have died
But the only reason I could play with mono
Was because my mom forged a doctor's note
And then she got me the lacrosse pads
You want to talk about
For real you can die If you get hit in the spleen with mono.
Yeah.
And then your mom was like, you're going to be all right.
It was a championship game.
Oh, yeah.
It was my sophomore season.
Flags fly forever, babe.
Fuck your spleen.
Get out there.
It was the NPSAC, the New England Prep School, whatever, championship.
What prep school did you go to?
Ports of the Abbey in Rhode Island.
And she was like, do you want to play?
And I was like, yeah, I want to fucking play.
Literally the job of the parents,
of course the kid's going to say he wants to play.
You're going to die if you play.
That's why your parents are supposed to be like,
you shouldn't play.
Right, right.
That's what parents are there for.
And then we won,
and I was celebrating on the field with my coach,
and I was like, just so you know,
my mom forged that letter.
And he goes, fights, don't tell me that.
That's fucking great, man.
That's a different time, man.
I don't remember any growing up.
I don't know if our parents didn't know about safety or just didn't care,
but it was never like a huge concern of like hey you might
get hurt right i know it's like you're gonna get hurt and it's gonna be okay i was talking to a
friend of mine about this the other day and he's got kids and i i go do you remember dude i used
to get on the handlebars of your bike no helmets either one of us right and we used to go to the
store and buy your dad cigarettes and he was like yeah i remember that we would walk in the guy was like i can't sell you cigarettes and the guy would be
like it's for my dad and he'd be like okay that was it dude we would come back with some marble
reds for this dude's dad on the handlebars and the guy was like you're good kids we were like okay
my neighbor used to call me at the house. He was like, oh, the Jew kid's here.
I wasn't offended.
I'm like, that is me.
I am the Jew kid.
It's funny how language evolves.
Words mean different things at different times.
It was like what we were talking about with the locker room earlier.
At that stage, some people used it racially, but some people were like, I don't know.
This is just common how we talk.
Descriptive.
I don't think less of these people it's just it's separated me from
the other ones i was the jew yeah yeah dude i mean we we lived uh we had one kid who was jewish
in like our our community and like didn't even like understand that there was like others out
there yeah it was like i don't, this is like the weird kid.
And then you get outside, like in the rest of New York City,
you're like, oh, there's more of them out there.
How many times did he have to explain what matzo was?
People are like, what?
Say that again?
Yo, it's funny you bring up this Jewish shit.
This Jewish shit!
I sat Shiva the other day.
But what I thought was going to be Shiva,
there was this whole story.
I ran into this family. They were were fans of mine their father literally i was
at the hospital oh i saw that story yeah and uh and they were like will you come sit shiva and
and uh i thought it was going to be like the real sit shiva but they had i think they did that with
their family and then they had like a party and i walked in and i was like this is an irish wake
i get i get what's going on. I know how to do that game.
I didn't know.
Do you guys do that?
Or was that an exception for them?
My family was not super Jewish, right?
We did most of the high holidays, and every now and then we'd do Shabbat.
But we still had –
So that's the equivalent of Christmas and Easter?
Yeah.
Yeah, but I mean except the week of no bread when you're a kid makes you the weird...
When you come in with a peanut butter and jelly amatsa and people are like, what the
fuck is that?
What's that for?
The week of no bread.
What's that one?
It's...
Yom Kippur?
One of those?
I forget.
You are a man, too.
Yeah, I do.
Yom Kippur, I believe is...
What's the one with Santa and Jesus?
Yeah, too.
Yom Kippur is the fasting.
Yeah, that's the one you're atoning or whatever.
Yeah, and then I think there's a week of no bread and then maybe Rosh Hashanah is New Year.
So it must be Passover leading up to Passover.
Got it.
Somewhere around there.
I would ask a real Jew.
Are you 100%?
I'm 100% Jewish.
Did you raise your kids religious at all?
No.
Like bar mitzvah and shit?
No, I left all that up to them my bro and
they didn't do it i was like you're missing out on some money as a as a gentile i remember i got
like 400 bucks for my confirmation and the jews were getting legit like you're in like a lot of
you're in like six or seven degree you get five grand it's like what can i tell you so the guy
who taught me how to read out of the Torah, my dad was the cheapest.
Well.
Yeah, exactly.
I'll never forget this dude named Dennis.
He smelled the worst.
He came in with his shirt buttoned down to here with just hair.
Well, that's a guy that you want teaching you the Torah, though.
Except when he would be teaching you and he would twist his chest hair
and pull some out and
sprinkle it he would sprinkle it on the fucking sprinkle it and i was it was hard for me to
concentrate i was always when he smelled no fucking kidding when he smelled so i was always
like but when he would be like when he would go so when you do it i would just when he would be
like when you do it i was always like he was salt bae and my yeah dude and so i would tell my
dad i was like dennis is sprinkling chest hair and he was like yeah but he's like he's a team
bucks an hour yeah yeah yeah i'm like yeah because everyone else he gets fired for sprinkling his
chest hair on the fucking ground dude the worst part of my dad was like after the after we do the
class he'd go hey hey, go sweep up
Dennis's chest hair.
And I'd be like, why do I got to fuck a barber shop?
You got a pile of it?
I had to get it.
My dad was like, I don't want to step on it with my bare feet.
I'm like, what the fuck?
So I had to go get the little dustpan.
Disgusting, bro.
It was pretty bad.
That is brutal.
Dude, it was baruch atah.
It was fucking so gross, dude.
Why?
I don't know what part you start doing that or if it's a nervous habit.
Well, you know what, though?
It's probably one of those things that I'm trying to think of.
There's definitely weird shit that like, I don't know.
I'm always biting my nails
and clipping my nails and shit and i'm and when i do it in front of other people i think they're
like that's gross you know but it's like i but yeah like that's what i mean like there you have
certain habits that i think you do at home and then eventually you do them so often maybe it
bleeds out into real life pulling out your chest hair and sprinkling it it ain't one of them but
butting your nails i think is pretty universal for people. Yeah, right, right. You've seen it before.
Ain't nobody ever seen that before.
No, or since.
There has never been a time where I've...
I just picture him at the bar talking to girls.
I don't think he talked to many girls.
Just on the BO alone, I don't think he...
You got to find a nice Jewish boy.
There's a lid for every pot, man.
Dude, this fucking guy, when he came to the bar mitzvah, he was sitting by himself.
Everybody else was all grouped together, and he was just in the back, Dennis.
Fucking straight up gross, dude.
I don't know how you would start.
That feels like a nervous habit.
That's what I mean
He does not even realize he's doing it
He's just on autopilot
You need someone in your life to check you
Stop doing that
And my dad wouldn't because he was so cheap
Dude how's Vegas
I love it more than Any place i've ever lived real are you living like
i live in henderson but what's like 15 minutes outside it's the quietest place i've ever lived
why'd you go there my wife you know we had gone from la to nashville we wanted to get out of la
right we went to la to nashville and she just hated the weather she She's not into the cold. She's not into the humidity.
There was a tornado season.
She was like, season?
Like spring, summer, tornado?
I would have thought Nashville has that.
It's not southern weather.
It's mid-nature.
You think Nashville is hot, and then you realize.
Yeah.
And we both have had really, really bad bouts with mold toxicity.
So we've had to really just gravitate towards hot and dry.
And so I was not moving to Arizona where the old Jews are.
I'm not old enough.
Yeah, not yet.
I'm not saying no, but I'm not old enough.
As long as I'm not picking my own chest hairs out, I'm not ready for it.
There's going to be a day where you're going like this and you go,
Honey, we're moving to Arizona.
Look up Scottsdale.
But I love Vegas, man.
I have a residency there every Monday night.
That's awesome.
Are you a gambler?
I'm a sports gambler.
Are the sirens calling you?
The vice calling you?
I'm a sports gambler. Yeah. So that is something? The vice calling you? I'm a sports gambler.
Yeah.
So that is something I can do from anywhere.
So it's not worse because I'm there.
Right.
And I honestly don't like the people who gamble enough.
I'd go and play blackjack, but I hate the fucking people at the table so much.
Right, right.
There's always an Asian dude who's yelling at you because you took a card yeah you're like what the fuck or a fucking pro bachelor party yeah
whatever variation of vegas it is it's not something you want to be around consistently
at least it's not and we go down there every now and then just for food or whatever or for a show

lives in vegas um and he tours with me now with us, but he lives in Vegas. Got it.

I was hoping jet black eyebrows and jet black stache.
That's a good look.
You can get fucking silver everywhere.
Jet black bush?
You kind of have it.
Jet black bush?
What were you guys talking about?
No, it's all the same.
Jewish men pulling hair out of their chest and sprinkling it on the ground is what we were talking about.
The guy who taught me bar mitzvah, he used to pick his chest hair and sprinkle it on.
Dude, no Jew talk today.
I've been living in Texas.
I'm already over it.
I've had enough.
You are so not a Texas guy, bro.
I know, but dude, I was very scared, you know, because I am East Coast as fuck.
Yeah.
They're great people.
Everyone's just fat and jolly.
It's true.
It's awesome.
And they all think you're Joe Pesci.
Dude, there's none of us.
Yeah, there's none of you.
There's none of us.

How old is Tommy?
Well, let's all guess.
Let's all guess.
I think Tommy's older than he looks.
He's one of those dudes who could be 55 or 38.
I was going to say 42.
You're not in the...
I think you're high 40s.
You're not 50 yet, but you're older than you look.

I'm going to go straight all day.
It really is a slippery slope, though, where it's like, you know.
It was COVID for me.
I never wore sweatpants out of the house.
Right.
And then for a year, I was like, what the fuck have I been doing my whole life?
Well, then there was that, like, athleisure movement where it's like everyone was just
wearing fucking sweatpants to like the board meeting.
It was like, you know, whatever.
But it is just like, you know, I'm like, I'm going to my kids like sports practice.
I'm like, I don't have to dress up for that.
But you are leaving the house.
And then next thing you know, you're like, I got to go to like school with the kid.
I don't have to dress up for that.
You know what I mean?
And all of a sudden you're just a fucking schlub.
Yeah, hello.
I walked in here today.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, I think you'll appreciate this.
I went on

I chaperoned a
Quinceanera

I had to get my license done
in Mexico City.
You're close.
You're not that far.
You're the first people
I've spoken to today.
I had to get my driver's license
in Texas
because I lapsed for like a decade.
And I was basically
a chaperone at a Quinceanera.
It was me and like
a million Mexicans.
Yeah,
15-year-old Mexican girls.
Just holding a pen Filling out my information
Oh that's right
You didn't have to drive here

Yeah in Philly
Right
But in New York
Since 2009
Right
Yeah a decade plus
Yeah
So you blocking out
Like don't stop cheating
Dude no
There was a cheat code
I figured it out
Yeah
How'd the chaperone go?
Oh it was
So I didn't really know
What it was
I just signed up
I wanted to do some shit
With my daughter
And how old is she again?
She's nine
Turned eight
Turning nine
That's early dance right?
Yeah and it was
A super duper
Slavery museum
Like we were learning
The history of slaves
And the way they were talking about it
was fucking insane like they started out talking about spices and what was it like what the
colonies traded and and i was like i don't know if we're going to talk about like how they traded
them and what they did you know and all of a sudden they were like and then they went to africa
and kidnapped people and made them work for free wait Wait, wait, wait. This is a dance?
No, no, no.
That's what he said.
You said chaperone.
I thought you said chaperone the dance.
Field trip.
I thought, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was like, that's a weird dance.
That's fucking nuts.
So it's a slavery-themed dance?
What did your daughter wear?
I went to some dresses.
Dresses and chains.
Is that a weird dance, dude?
Punch!
Who wants punch?
I'm good, man.
Thanks. Yeah, dude. That would have been a weird dance, dude? Punch! Who wants punch? I'm good, man. Thanks.
Yeah, dude.
That would have been a slavery dance.
Are we doing the Cotton Eye Joe this dance?
That's a weird thing.
It was so unbelievable, though.
They're asking, like, the kids are asking me questions, and I'm just like, oh, my God.
Dad, did you ever have slaves growing up?
You're like, nah, it's a little before my time.
We weren't good with them either, though.
Wow.
That's weird.
It's early to take a kid to that.
You want kids to understand.
But you can't understand that shit at 8, right?
They just control their bowels.
You have to forgive them two, three years after.
You would be a great chaperone, man.
I would. I'd totally be great. I really would. This shit never happened. Don't after me. You would be a great chaperone, man. I would.
I'd totally be great.
I really would.
This shit never happened.
Don't believe me.
This is a lie.
Don't believe me.
Holocaust, that's not real.
Just the Jews complaining.
They did the same thing to Italians.
You know we all have been slaves, right?
We all have been slaves before.
My people were marginalized also, you know.
They changed my great father's last name.
Deadline.
Deadline, Kenzo.
I'd give the bus driver 100 bucks.
I'd say, take a left here.
We're going to a park.
And I'd just ground balls.
Just ground balls.
And rocket them at him, right?
You thought this was a field trip?
We're on a field. It's a field. him Adam right I didn't bring my glove who fucking my my son just won the Little League Championship.
Oh, let's go.
Awesome, yeah.
Like, once real baseball... He played real baseball.
Yeah, I'm saying, when they're old enough to play real...
They're still little kids, but they're, like, playing real...
Like, I was watching the championship game,
and they were, like, making plays.
That's awesome.
And, like, getting out of the inning,
and, like, I was like, this is fucking real.
Yeah, it's like when you see a baby start to walk a little bit.
You know what I mean?
For kids in sports, you're like,
oh, they're actually doing the fundamentals, but it's like when you see a baby start to walk a little bit you know i mean for kids in sports you're like oh they're actually doing the fundamentals but it's it's working yeah
it's not just kids hitting off a fucking tape and everybody runs for the ball and then one person
runs the person down yeah or they throw the ball at him to get him out yeah i was like no no no
okay that works too i guess dude we had uh uh we threw there was a relay from the outfield and got a guy at the plate.
And the catcher threw someone out stealing.
Wow.
They're fucking seven and eight years old.
That's crazy.
I was like, this is great.
I don't know about – like, you know, I feel like when I was playing Little League, it was nothing like that.
You know what I mean?
There was like two or three good kids on a team.
It wasn't like everybody knew how to play.
There were three kids.
You know their name. You remember them, who they were.
One of them had a mustache.
There was always this guy
right here. It was him. He stopped growing
when he was 11.
How far did you
play baseball? Did you play baseball in college or anything?
I went to college and I wanted to play
baseball there. I got a little scholarship, but then
my dad talked me out of it.
Why? He wanted me to be an engineer. I got a little scholarship, but then my dad talked me out of it. Why?
He wanted me
to be an engineer.
Well, I was stupid of him.
So he killed my dream.
I actually went
to go to school for art.
Okay.
And I got accepted
to all the art schools
in Philadelphia.
Like literally paint?
Drawing, painting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There was no way
your dad was being like,
my son is a painter.
Right, right, right.
No fucking way. Not in his family. Well, also, there was no way your dad was being like, my son is a shit. No fucking way.
Well, also, there was no graphic arts at that time.
So he couldn't see me parlaying my creative abilities into a job.
Right.
Because back then it seemed-
Where you just kind of make paintings on a piece of paper.
So there was no like-
How long did you last as an engineer?
Three years.
Oh, you did it though?
Yeah, I went to school for engineering at Drexel.
Interesting. On the third year
I transferred to IT
Because I hated
I did two
Cooperative education
You go to school
For six months
And you go to
Work for six months
Yeah
That's what gets you
We're talking engineering
Like building
Like civil engineering
Yeah
Architectural
Wow
Not like
That would have been amazing
You're like
I had my hat
No the first The first two years Is like It's like pre-med Yeah That's fucking crazy Wow. Not like choo-choo. That would have been amazing. You're like, I had my hat.
No, the first two years is like pre-med.
Yeah, I mean, that's fucking crazy.
But you did it.
Yeah.
Smarter than you look.
And wasted $400,000.
Of his or yours?
Mine.
Congratulations.
God, I really, what a fucking scam, man. Dude, it's such a funny thing to like start life you're like i'll start 400 grand in the hole yeah yeah just me and fucking
a thousand indians i was just saying there needs to be somebody your father really fucked that one
up because if if my kid ever came to me saying i'm gonna do engineering coding whatever i'd be
like you're not beating out the indians and the asians we're not doing this yeah like it's just not it's like the same
thing as saying like i want to be a pro athlete it's like you're not doing it but you need you
need like my dad was very i remember very honest with us and i appreciated this i know people were
like that's bad parenting to me it was good my brother was a great artist i remember one day we
were drawing my brother could draw like superheroes just freeform awesome and he was
like you should draw with me i was like cool so we go in my my brother shows my dad and he's like
jonathan that is great you probably should think of doing this as a career and i showed my dad and
he was like not your time this is not your thing you can stop drawing right now and i was like okay
that's good advice.
I'm not wasting any more time.
Good parenting, yeah.
Yeah, well, good parenting is just like, I don't know, man.
Show your kids the outside of your city limits.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, I didn't go to, I did like three applications.
My dad didn't give a shit.
I was 10th in my high school.
And nobody gave a fuck.
I talked to my guidance counselor for like seven minutes
yeah he's like what do you want to do i was like i don't know is this your fucking job
so he gave me a scholarship to drexel he's like i give one scholarship out if you can get in the
drexel engineering i'll give you it and then athletic scholarship for baseball and i want
talk to the coach and i want to play same at drexel yeah and then i started school and i was
like there's no way I'm doing anything.
Yeah.
It's like 20 credits, 19 credits, 18 credits your first year.
You get one summer off and that's it.
Then four years of straight school and work.
Really?
It's a five-year program.
And it's like, it's expensive because if you can make the program work, you get, you're
well above the rest of the, anyone else getting a job.
So you kind of did the worst of all.
As an engineer out of college, you're getting a job.
I got a job sophomore year. I was working at
Donald Nacarado in Philadelphia.
I don't know what the fuck that is.
You said that like it was Morgan Stanley.
Donald Nacarado.
Did he make my lunch today?
I don't know what the fuck that is.
It's just two uncles.
Donald Nacarado?
You said it like we were all like,
Donald Nacarado? The sandwich shop. Yeah, dude. You said it like we were all like, oh, Nacarado.
Oh, I got it.
Was he in Die Hard?
Was that the building?
The Nacarado building?
Yeah.
Yeah, dude.
Wait, so you did see it through.
You did the school and you got a job and then bailed out?
I was in engineering.
Then I did IT.
I worked IT consultant for Verizon and deloitte and then that's right
i hated that again and i was like i need to do something different i always thought i wanted to
be it's weird but i always thought i wanted to be like an entertainment i didn't know how
and then i took a job that was more sales oriented i was a director of marketing and advertising
agency and i hit my quota and just fuck off i was just too lazy and my my boss at the time was like
god i wish you had a kid man if you had a baby you'd be so good at this fucking job but be
terrible as a parent though that kid would be fucked but you'd be doing some good work for us
how long had you been doing stand-up when we were touring together i started in 09 i started 29 years
old 30 years old so you just a couple years when we
were yeah i was like two years in i don't know shit yeah my brother's playing engineer for the
first decade you know yeah i didn't even know you could go to like comedy clubs like i thought
i grew up with my dad i didn't watch comedy still i still but i like i don't like i didn't all i knew was like eddie murphy richard pryor george carlin from my dad
watching it on like hbo or vhs right right right and i thought they were just so funny that some
fucking pack of jews was like get up there and do it. There's a pack of Jews.
I think I heard that in a Gibson voicemail.
You go to like a comedy club
and you like work at it. It's like a school.
You know? And so my brother signed me up
when Helium opened up in like 06 or 07
in Philly. He told me about it.
Was he like, you're funny, you should do this?
Oh yeah, all my brother's friends. Like you wouldn't have done it on your own?
No. No fucking way.
When he was opening for me, though, dude,
and only been doing it for a couple years,
but he would tell these ridiculous stories,
like about the hooker.
The threesome with the boss is crazy.
What's that?
The threesome with the boss.
But the ridiculous stories.
Yeah.
Did I say that to you?
Did you?
Yeah.
I think we cut it.
I think we cut it, yeah.
The threesome with your boss what
that is one of the greatest stories it's a great story
not for him do you know how hard it is to take a stripper home
yeah you gotta be talented the gift of gab they say i dated a stripper in college who used to like to have me come to
the strip club and she
would I don't know why she liked to do this she would
have me sit at the bar and when she
gave a dance to somebody she would take
their money walk over and put it in
my pocket
and I was always like yeah I'm about
to get the shit beat out of you
but they were probably like who is
she was like I fucking love doing this this turns me on I'm like to get the shit beat out of you. But they were probably like, who is that guy? She was like, I fucking love doing this.
This turns me on.
I'm like, fucking give me the money then.
You're turning me on?
You're talking about it, let alone if it was happening.
She should have sat you in there like a pawn while other dudes could see you.
And then she let you suck her boobs and stuff.
And there's just going to be a line.
She's going to do a sex show.
Not me, not there, but eventually.
I fucking hope so yeah
she let me touch her titty
like we were saying bro it's the contract you're allowed to do that
second base dude that was she was for that was the time that i realized oh i'm not
equipped for a threesome because she was like you're ready for a threesome i was like i think
so right and it was her another girl and i was like you you two should get real close to finishing and then i'll join
don't count on a lot of input from me on this one i'm a viewer on this one
um i don't have to do another hour after this right this is it no yeah Don't count on a lot of input from me on this one. I'm a viewer on this one.
I don't have to do another hour after this, right?
This is it.
No, yeah, this is it. Ah, sick.
I've got to play pool.
Francis Ellis wants to play pool and get drunk.
Where are you going?
I don't know.
You want to go?
Oh, Francis belongs to a pool club, a billiards club.
A billiards club?
That makes so much sense.
Does he have no pool cue? What's that? motherfucker that makes so much sense he's a pool cue what's that
is he one of those
dudes that have a pool cue
I could see him
having his own bowling ball
his own pool cue
all that shit
I don't remember
I've only been once
and I was drunk
but like
I don't think he brought
his own pool
I don't know if it's
one of those things
like a wine club
where they keep your cue
in the back
I don't know where
he got his cue from
if you come in
when it's on your
shoulder
that's fucking insane.
I'm not playing with you.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But also, you're annoying as fuck.
Yo, being?
No.
What the fuck did I do?
If you come in with your own pool cue, you're not going to be fun to play with either.
No, no.
But you say he's not very good.
He's better.
He's good.
Being good at pool, I think, is one of the most awesome things you can do.
You've got to be such a trash bag.
No, but I... No family. Maybe, but I think, is one of the most awesome things you can do. You've got to be such a trash bag. No, but I –
No family.
Maybe, but I think it's awesome.
If you can just step up and run a pool table, I think it's one of the –
Why?
I think it's like – it's one of the most –
if you can walk into a bar, like a trash bar, and people are like –
they think they're good, they're talking shit, money's on the line,
and you just run the table, I think that's fucking great.
Darts too?
Yeah, that kind of shit, I would love that.
I'll fuck you up at darts too.
Fuck you.
I think I completely disagree.
I'm nasty.
I think if some guy's like, I'm awesome at pool,
I'm like, I don't fucking care.
All right.
I love darts.
I understand that side of it too.
But it's like anything else.
Like a buddy who's like, dude, I'm a great pool player.
All right.
You just took the time.
I mean more like if you're there at the bar, and if you're the quiet one and and someone's talking shit
You're like, yeah, and then you just literally like the white trash hero story. Yes
I like a good yeah white trash heroes. That's
Have you seen like professional darts?
I love watching overseas.
They pack those stadiums.
When they hit the triple 20 or whatever it is for the win,
the place erupts like it's a fucking walk-off home run.
How Will Ferrell hasn't done a dart movie?
I have no idea.
There's a crew of guys here.
They go every year when it's at the Garden, right?
At Hulu Theater, yeah.
Hulu Theater, yeah. It's crazy. of guys here. They go every year when it's at the Garden, right? At Hulu Theater, yeah.
It's crazy. And they sing songs and shit?
The people who, I will say this, the highlights
we see are awesome.
The people who go say
pretty quickly are like,
we're just watching. Yeah, we get it.
How about everybody throws once?
Yeah, yeah. I think it's like
an eight hour day and we watch a 30 second clip and we're like, this is amazing! It's like an eight-hour day, and we watch a 30-second clip.
I'm like, this is amazing.
It's like cricket.
You see a good cricket catch, you're like, this is the greatest sport ever.
You ever go to a wing bowl?
You know what wing bowl is?
I know of it in Philly.
I've never been.
It's the same idea.
You just get blacked out.
The sun comes up.
You go into a stadium.
You watch these fat retards get nuts.
I love that.
What are they doing?
You didn't even tell me What they were doing
What are they doing?
Eat wings
Eat wings
It's like a wing eating competition
And there's like
Sea level strippers
Walking around
Yeah it's Philly
That's about as big as it gets
You know
Dude in Austin
Have you been to that place
Where they
That chicken shit bingo?
No
Where you sit around
And you get shit faced
And you watch chickens
Shit on a giant board And you play bingo No that's cool No fucking way Yeah it's chicken shit bingo no where you sit around and you get shit faced and you watch chickens shit on a giant board and you play bingo no that's cool yes chicken shit bingo it's it's a good time
yeah that's actually like a lot of people my parents are not the most tech savvy so it seems
weird to give them a tech adjacent gift but aura aura's digital frame is perfect because yes, it's tech but it is so easy
seriously, it is so easy to get started
and then once you do, the tech is incredible
you can upload pictures right from your phone in just a click
it's one of those, if you guys haven't
gotten the gist here, it's a frame
it's one of those frames that are constantly showing new pictures
it's a digital frame, revolving
door of new pictures
it'll even pair photos together for you
like two pictures of the same person
or from the same day or anything like that.
There are no memory cards or USBs required.
There's a reason Wirecutter magazine,
digital magazine, don't worry, I'm in the know,
and named it the number one best digital photo frame.
It is the holidays, get gifts.
Particularly old people and non-tech savvy people,
people who can't really handle this, love it.
It's so easy.
It blows their mind.
How is everyone in the picture?
It's like Harry Potter.
How are they moving in the picture?

Yeah, that's why I don't call you anymore.
This is the fucking craziest. You're sober like off weed and everything i haven't been it's been
30 years since i've been off uh we had to put my son in sober living right so i was like you know
i'm gonna do this with him that's right because i because he goes on the road with me so it'd be
weird for me to be in the green room smoking weed and be like hey pussy yeah yeah so but
yo being sober is... You like it?
It's not what it's cracked up to be.
That was a test.
If you fed me that bullshit, I was leaving.
Wait, wait, I'm sorry.
I miss mushrooms more than I miss weed.
Oh, you're not even doing mushrooms.
No.
You're not doing anything.
I was doing three grams of mushrooms every Friday night for my comedy show.
Yeah, I mean, you were a big weed guy.
Did you write edibles and all that?
For 30 years, 100 milligrams a day at least. Yeah. Yeah, cut everything out, man. of night for my comedy yeah you i mean you were a big weed guy for three to thirty years a hundred
milligrams a day at least yeah yeah cut everything out man and it's it's you know it's boring as
fuck son jacob jacob yeah yeah dude if you take one day off from drinking you realize how many
hours are in the day but i never drank it's only 2 p What am I going to do
Until 6
6 comes around
You're like
I can't fucking do this
How many sandwiches
Can I eat in one day
And then you get on stage
It's like
This is stupid
Life is hard man
Are you
You're sober right now
Or no
No
No
Look at him
No but I am
I am weaning
I had a long two nights
A long two nights It's my birthday Your he look sober? A long two nights.
It's my birthday.
Your whole life has been a long two nights.
We just pulled him out of a whiskey distillery five seconds ago.
No, no.
He just talked about getting drunk at noon.
What are you talking about?
Ask him.
Yeah, I'm fun, though.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, you are.
That is true.
Enjoy your darts, dork.
It's tough.
It is tough when they start dropping like flies.
Like everybody has, yeah.
I mean, I'm not like,
so I just don't really like to drink anymore,
but like, it's not like I went sober,
but you know, everybody.
I want to get back to it, by the way.
Yeah.
I'm not quitting for good.
And I'm just like,
while he's getting his footing.
Yeah.
I'm like, I don't want to be out here
it's been almost two months for me yeah that's okay that's a long but it's still i thought you
were gonna say like you had been doing for a couple years or something it feels like it yeah
and by the way i'm not gonna last a couple years no there's no way did you uh did you like say like
i feel like if it was me, I don't know.
Father-son's a little bit different.
But, like, if someone was like, I'm going to do this in solidarity with you, I'd be like, you don't have to do that.
He told me that.
Yeah.
He was like, you don't have to.
This is not your responsibility.
And I was like, yeah, but I'm your dad.
Yeah, dude.
And you're my guy.
And I want to, if you're going to do it and come on the road with me.
Yeah.
It's tough to be around someone else the whole time.
Yeah, dude.
It seems weird.
And more also that it's such
it was such a big part of my business
like I don't want to sit around and glorify what he's
trying to the demon he's trying
to be it feels like a real
dick move
feels like something Tommy's dad would do
did you
yeah
but yeah did you see John Stamos?
What he did in solidarity with Dave Coulier?
Shave your head, you pussy.
The only guy, though, in the world.
What did he do? Stop sucking dick?
You know when people shave their head for cancer
and then the barber like shaves their head
and everyone cries
he put on a bald cap
and photoshopped it
and then posted it
on Instagram
and said
putting on this bald cap
in solidarity
with Dave Coulier
who was fighting cancer
which is like
the single most
out of touch thing
I've ever seen
a celebrity do
like to do it first of all
and then brag about it
and he said
as if you're doing something
he said
put on a bald cap
and flex my photoshop skills he wasn no oh my god and flex my photoshop skills i don't know
that second sentence makes me think he's joking yeah i think he recognized but like i don't i
think the i think that's a joke but like doing it i think he was not how good a friend you can't
shave your head one time you don't think he's getting pussy bald?
Stamos.
Yeah, you're right.
He is.
But that's like one.
He could look like an orc at this point.
It doesn't matter.
You're not wrong.
But it's not even about getting pussy.
It's about being like, I have the greatest head of hair that has ever.
And it's going to grow back.
And I'll prove to you that it is real.
Maybe it ain't real.
That's a good call. is handsome bro that hair is
not at every level when he had the mullet in the 80s when he had like the the uh 90s kind of like
part in the middle and now it's just by the way if i if you were just coming as a and you never
knew either one of them but you could be like which one's the comedian you'd be like i can pick
that one i can pick that one out
did you see uh brandon walker guy works here went viral recently for uh
the you know he's not uncle joey he's not an uncle he's never been called uncle joey on that
show once really he's just he's uh uncle uncle joey's joey diaz uncle yeah the the he's just a friend he's just danny tanner's friend
in that show oh so they're gay probably so why is that guy coming around so much so he's not an
uncle why is he there he's just got a grown man friend living with his kids i don't think they i
don't even know if they live i think he's just there a lot that was the whole thing is that
everyone thinks he was uncle joey and uncle jesse jesse wait it's uncle jesse but just joey
neither one of them lived at the house?
I think one of them lived at the house.
Jesse lived in the attic with Becky Kitsopoulos.
That's a little weird, too.
It's crazy that you're rattling off this stuff.
And their names, too.
Becky Kitsopoulos was a pole.
I'm Becky right now.
Jesse Kitsopoulos.
I didn't watch this show. I didn't either.
You guys are too cool.
You're too old. You're too old.
Yeah.
You're too old too, probably.
Yeah.
We had the dog walk draft.
They have childhood shows.
And I know of all of them, but I don't think I really did.
Well, you had a fucking terrible upbringing.
That's why I love you, baby.
What shows were you watching, Grona?
Cheers.
Yep.
Wonder Years.
Yep. I was watching 227. I was watching All in the Family. Yeah. Yeah, you're old Cheers. Yep. Wonder Years. Yep.
I was watching 227.
I was watching All in the Family.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're old.
Watch that shit.
Oh, dude.
So funny.
You couldn't.
Wonder Years is one of the greatest shows of all time.
Dude.
It's just the sense of humor.
It's very real.
The reality of life.
The dad was just like a fucking.
Everything was unapologetically fucking dark, dramatic, and funny as fuck.
I didn't realize until I was like older that it was a show from the 80s because they did...
What time period was that supposed to be?
It was supposed to be post-Vietnam.
The father was an alcoholic coming over from Vietnam.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Beat his kids.
Right.
I remember being very afraid of the dad in that.
Yeah.
He had a temper.
Yeah.
That was real.
Yeah.
Fuck yeah.
You just look at it all the way through.
I'd say 70s and 80s, there's nothing better
than movies, television, everything was just so iconic.
I'd say this is about the 80s and 90s.
And then into the 90s, like mid-90s,
that's when you fucking fruits came around,
they started playing this type of shit,
and we lost touch of reality.
I went back and watched old episodes of Taxi.
Taxi rolled, watch Taxi.
You guys are a thousand.
Everyone's turning off the podcast.
I don't even know if Taxi was in color, dude.
Actually, the only thing in color was the taxi.
Charlie Chaplin show.
Danny DeVito was actually six feet tall in that show.
Dude, what a legend he is.
I mean, he's been doing it for like crazy eight
decades now like he still has my favorite answer ever given on the show where he came on he's
promoting something with his daughter and uh did he stand up for this mic or did he sit down no he
honestly so it was in the other studio he had trouble and it was like we had to boost him up
because we had like high chairs you know we had to we had to to physically put them in the chair.
But I had asked him about...
Do you have a video of that?
Because I would just like to watch that.
That was a serious accident.
That was a serious.
At serious, we had to physically put them in the chair.
But I had asked him...
Did you get on one knee?
Come here, little buddy.
Come on over here.
I just got down on hands and knees
i got down on all fours and he just stepped on my back
but the the i i asked him like about the different iterations of and generations of hollywood he's
been through like what was his favorite like the 60s the 70s and he's like explaining all of them
and he's like the 60s were great because Blah blah blah blah blah blah The 70s were great because blah blah blah blah blah
The 80s
I was snowblown the whole time
He lost a decade
He was like I don't remember a decade
That's amazing
And that little body
And his daughter's like dad
He's like I don't know what to tell ya
He still feels like a dude to me who gets fucked up
On the regular He's taking, I don't know what to tell you. He still feels like a dude to me who gets fucked up on the regular.
He's taking mushrooms for sure.
Have you ever heard the story from fucking Charlie Kelly or Charlie Day told the story.
And it was a story that Danny had told him.
And it was they went to a party.
It must have been the 80s.
And it was him and Schwarzenegger.
So Junior.
We're probably on the twins.
Twins.
Twins.
Junior. Had come out. So Junior. We're probably on the twins. Twins. Twins. Junior.
Had come out.
So I think that was 90s.
But he said him and Schwarzenegger walked into a party.
And the party favors at this party were your name spelled out in cocaine.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
And Schwarzenegger.
Schwarzenegger.
He had so jacked up.
He said, look at mine, Danny.
That was a good one, actually.
That's tough.
You walk in with a Charlie Day.
It's like, well, can I borrow some of your name?
Let me get the hard R.
Bro, the 80s were, I was, because of the Jake Paul, Mike Tyson fight, a lot of – I didn't realize that young people don't understand Iron Mike.
Like these guys producing the show were like, oh, we know of him.
But like they don't know like the stories.
And then I started reading up on him.
There's shit that I didn't even know that was like – when he fought Buster Douglas, he had a full-blown case of gonorrhea.
He was like – I was in Japan.
He was like I was fucking – he said he fucked anything.
He was like my criteria was breathing. And he was like I was just fucking He was like I was fucking He said he fucked anything He was like
My criteria was breathing
And he was like
I was just fucking
Every Japanese girl I could find
And I didn't train at all
And I had gonorrhea
And he fucking beat my ass
You listen to
Lawrence Taylor talk about
Yeah
The shit he was doing
Well they were together too though
It was like
You know
You see these pictures sometimes
It was like
Keith Hernandez
Fucking Lawrence Taylor
And Mike Tyson
At the same party it's like
that's a lot of coke
imagine if you know they're like trying to one up each other
that's all the coke
Daryl Strawberry in there
Doc Gooden
you were in New York in the 80s it was a
snow blowing the whole time
imagine that crew and then like Danny DeVito waddles in
he's like hey guys
he's doing it with them
he's riding people around he's got hey guys yeah he's doing it with me up on the chair like one of those two the two-headed conjoined twins
when uh when tyson was in prison he fucked and impregnated his like prison counselor
like he was i thought he was gonna say his cell
mate i'm like what was that but i think i think he was like i had i had uh what's it called conjugal
visits like all the time i was fucking like my the the prison guards the counselors i got her
pregnant like just crazy shit that really that's why he's taking these fucking fake fights he's
gonna pay off all these probably yeah yeah crazy man Did you see the footage of some of the shots where he's just about to hit?
That made me a little...
I'm not full-blown like he threw the fight because I do think he just lost gas.
He didn't have legs.
That's crazy.
But in the beginning, he had one combo.
And I even noticed it in real time.
And they were like, yo, that's it.
And he never attempted it again.
I do.
Yeah, there is a little something.
I can understand running out of gas the last two rounds.
He didn't show anything after that one time.
The entire fight.
Yeah.
What are we doing?
I turned it off in like the sixth.
What are we doing?
There was a video running around that was like he hit him with like a combo.
And then they locked up.
And he's like, relax, dude.
And he taps him on the back.
I mean, there's no, the guy, the video was like,
it's alleged that Jake Paul said in his ear, calm down.
Like, nobody has said that except that fucking video.
And Mike Tyson pats him on the back,
so it looks like they have an agreement.
I don't know about all that, but they're definitely,
in that first couple rounds, I was like,
he definitely just did not punch him there when he absolutely could have.
I think by the end of it, it was almost the opposite
because he was so out of gas.
I was going to say, I don't know if I'd agree to a fight where I take a dive where the other guy gets to gloat afterwards about how he could have hurt me when he didn't want to.
I'll take the dive, but then don't fucking run up the score on me.
I think he had the quote where I didn't want to hurt someone who didn't need to be hurt or something like that.
You're not saying that about me with my blessing.
Here's the thing.
As the oldest dude here, obviously not mike tyson but i can
tell you 10 years ago when i boxed jacob who's obviously not jake paul i could see punches
coming yeah and my brain was like get out of the way and my face was like nah yeah let's eat this
one your body just doesn't yeah well that's 60 is like 60s old dude i know it's
mike tyson and all that shit but it's like he's also been you know doing drugs and fucking it's
not like he's a sharp 60 year old like so there is that side of it but it was strange the like
dodging punches is one thing not throwing punches that's like your body is programmed to do as a
fighter that was a little weird that's crazy yeah i can understand getting hit it was like there was one where he literally like like he went to i know he went like this
yeah and he was wide open that was the shot that could obviously this is in apples and oranges i
remember i tell a story like i recent fairly recently now i was in a batting cage and i was
like i know every like my body know is my first taste of being like old so i'm like my brain knows
what to do yeah i can do i'm doing all, and I was just following everything right back.
I just can't do it.
If you just keep going to the cage for a week and a half, it comes back.
You see him training?
Training videos don't make sense to what we watch.
That's true.
That one fucking confetti came out of his ass.
It was locked in, and he was fading this way.
It was there. That was weird. That was very different. It was like locked in and he was like fading this way. It was there.
That was weird.
That was definitely suspect.
But I also could see a scenario where it was like, don't end this in the first round.
I agree with that.
Versus throwing the whole fight.
You know what I mean?
Like, we got to put on a show.
Like, I'm going to bury him.
But let me ask you.
And then a couple rounds later, you're like, oh, wait, I am fucked.
In the conspiracy theory part of it, you have to approach him initially with the idea.
And what if he's like, fuck no.
Yeah.
And then he comes out and goes,
this dude just tried to ask me to throw the fight.
So that's why it's hard for me.
It's got to be like signed.
You give the $20 million back if you say something.
Yeah.
That's the only way.
I heard that he makes like 100%. if you say something. Yeah. That's the only way.
I heard that he makes like a 100%. There was a signed document.
You're throwing this fucking fight.
Don't go too hard on this,
and you'll get paid.
But what Josh is saying is
you've got to approach him with that
before he signs the document.
This is what I'm saying.
So what if he said no?
What if he was like,
fuck you, I'm not throwing your fight,
and then he exposes you.
They probably sign an NDA before the fucking meeting. Before the meeting, he goes, we're going to talk about some shit you, I'm not throwing your fight and then he exposes you? And then you blow your whole operation. He'd probably sign an NDA
before the fucking meeting.
Before the meeting,
he goes,
we're going to talk about
some shit.
It's like,
I'll give you money
for this meeting.
You can't say anything
what happened in this meeting.
But how much money
are you giving Mike Tyson?
I heard Mike Tyson's
down and out.
I heard he has
a cannabis operation
that makes like
a million dollars a month.
He's got a successful podcast.
That's the only problem.
When I heard that,
because I thought
there was a chance that Mike Tyson famously tyson famously bought tigers and 20 million got 20
million dollars ah man i mean because i actually think is it not as much as i thought it was gonna
be not for not for what ensued and how people are talking about him now unless he was broke if
you're broken into money fine but if you have money and now there's all this talk about you
either A being old
or B throwing a fight
but as we know
you saw interviews
with him before
he's like
I don't give a fuck
about my legacy
and he also said
because I guess
Holyfield reached out
and was like
let's do a trilogy
and he was like
nah
no way
you think that's what he said
have you ever heard him talk
yeah
yeah
that's a 30 minute conversation he got hung up on trilogy for an hour straight
he's like let me google trilogy
i still can't i can't stop thinking about like a little dainty asian girl and fucking a coke help
semi-hard rope dick there was. Semi-hard rope dick.
There was a story.
Semi-hard rope dick. Oh, my God.
He's probably trying to get it up.
She's, like, sweating.
He's hitting it on the table.
He's all, yeah.
He's small.
What a frightening man.
His hearing's dangling.
He's the only light in the room, and she's crying already.
Already.
Hasn't even took the tip, dude.
Apparently when he broke up with Robin Givens,
she went on a date with Brad Pitt.
Yeah.
And he ran into them and was like at the fucking restaurant table,
like, I'm going to kill you.
And apparently Brad Pitt was like begging for his life.
This is not worth it.
He was like, we're just running this is not worth it he was like
we're just running lines and we're just working on a show together like please stop he's like i'll
run lines to him all of a sudden they're best friends that's an unfortunate situation to find
yourself in but i don't think anyone can fault brad no not at all what what do i need to say
either way 90s 80s rob Robin Givens is smoking hot.
Yeah.
So he's like, fuck yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then who's Robin Givens?
No, I know.
It was one of his punching bags for a while.
Robin Givens.
Like 80s, 90s Robin Givens is hot.
Yeah, she was smoking.
She was in that full.
I'm not even going to pretend to know.
Robin Givens.
Look at her.
Come on. That sucks here. It does? full full I'm not even gonna pretend to know the fuck Robin Givens look at her come on
that sucks here
it does
I'm good
I'm just looking at her
it doesn't really matter
there she is
yeah she's hot
I don't know what she was
she was like
she was like
Rihanna
before Rihanna
yeah that's a good call
that's a good call
she was hot
yeah man
what a fucking time
to run though
I mean
you can't get away
with like anything now it was a good time to be a celebrity. I mean, you can't get away with anything now.
It was a good time to be a celebrity, I'm sure.
Yeah, it sucks being a celebrity now compared to that shit.
It's like, she really does look like Rihanna.
It's a great call.
Yeah.
That's what Rihanna's going to look like.
That picture in the blue, that's what Rihanna's going to look like when she gets older.

You just told everybody.
Oh, yeah.
I mean,

you know.
Listen,
if you're not watching our show
because of that,

It's not like,
you know,
like in Zoom time
during quarantine,
there was a delay.
You had to wait on shit.
There's none of that.
We did a Zoom with,
I think it was Colin Quinn
and he sat, like, here and the camera was at the wall over there I think it was Colin Quinn And he sat like here
And the camera was at the wall over there
But it was almost like so great
It was like this is awesome
That he's like I'm a mile away
Couldn't hear him couldn't see him
We did that with Efron
And Jeremy Allen White too
We landed them and we were like oh my god
These fucking A-listers and they were
So far away
From the fucking
I was like
Can you just sit
Next to the computer please
Like come on man
It wasn't even COVID
That was just like
We're too busy for you
We'll do a show
But we're on set
And like fuck you
They were like two blocks away
Yeah
They were in New York
No
Stuff Islands
It's great
But it's just not the same
Because it's you know
I miss it
In a way
Because this kind of energy You can't duplicate Unless you're in person The timing The fucking You know New Orleans, it's great, but it's just not the same because it's, you know, I miss it in a way.
Because this kind of energy, you can't duplicate.
You're not sure in person.
The timing, the fucking, you know?
I remember I texted you guys and the stuff in the car.
The trampolines video.
I go back and watch the trampolines video.
It's so fucking funny.
Tell a story, Chris.
Dude, people don't believe that he's like that all the time. Do you know the story?
No.
O'Connor got, did he get knocked out or did Trevor Chase kick him out?
He kicked him off his trampoline.
He kicked him off his trampoline.
Dude, I'll just – I don't know how to get to it.
I'll just show it to you.
But isn't – that's from –
Oh, is this it?
That's like from a – isn't that from a show or something like that?
Wait, pause this.
Pause.
You got to see everyone's face.
It's – this is one of my favorites.
How did you do that so fast?
You typed in Stuff Island Trampoline, you fucking retard.
Do you have to wait for it to load?
Yeah.
The internet here sucks.
This is really annoying.
It's not only in this building, but then within this fucking room.
It's crazy.
Yeah, I've met him once.
Yeah?
It's hilarious.
You guys are a billion-dollar company.
You can't get fucking Wi-Fi.
It is.
That's actually always been our mantra as an internet company with no internet.
I'm serious.
He's like, get off.
What are you talking about?
I went to Chevy Chase's house and I jumped on his tram and he kicked me off.
It's a real story.
This is not a real story.
It is a real story.
Stop saying it like it's fucking normal.
Here's how you start that story.
Oh my god, did I ever tell you this story?
With excitement, you absolute psychic. I'm not that excited
if I get kicked off of Chevy Chase's train.
Why? Start why? Tell a story.
There was a kid in my biology class who was dating Chevy Chase's daughter.
And he invited me and a bunch of my friends
over to his house.
And then we went on a trampoline.
And Chevy Chase came out and he kicked me off the trampoline.
What did he kick you off?
Because I was bouncing too high.
He wanted to get on the trampoline.
What do you mean he wanted to get on the trampoline?
He wanted to get on the trampoline.
So he made an excuse going, you're jumping too high.
And then he jumped by himself.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's insane.
Chevy Chase was like, you're jumping too high, and then he jumped by himself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's insane. Chevy Chase was like, you're jumping too high, get off.
And then took his shoes off and jumped on the trampoline by himself.
Yeah.
Called a cop.
And then it just, the way it cuts.
Brilliant.
So good.
So good.
That's a great clip.
He's how you start to tell a story.
It's so fucking funny.
I'm not excited.
The story itself is so good But your anger at his
He was so casual
And then he jumped on the trampoline
You should see him talk through
Like a movie review
It's fucking gut wrenchingly horrendous
He'll just be like
I saw this movie and you're like
Alright what's up
This is like on a podcast
You're gonna eat 10 minutes
Bring some fucking energy.
And say what was good about it.
You'll get to like 8 minute 8
and he's like, yeah, it sucks.
We can't post that.
You know what we do here?
You know what makes us money?
It's not reading the paper, fuckface.
Bro, that's why
podcast
it's going great
I miss Chris
there's so many like
celebrity podcasts
and that kind of shit
and there's value in those
because you get like
great stories and shit
but when
that's like a real podcast
you need to have
you need to have that
kind of dynamic
for a real podcast
it's like people ask
like I want to start a podcast
or like
I got friends
and friends of friends that like how do I get going i think the key to a good podcast is having a partner
that is so different than you whether it's the way you think your sense of humor you have to
have some contrast right yeah some conflict it's just like in writing comedy like the conflict is
story yeah without conflict there's no story yeah so if you don't have a natural conflicting co-host you just can't you can't fucking ping pong in each other's
opinions and go yeah you're right yeah there's nothing interesting the relationship yeah i think
a relationship is important being able to be like shut the fuck up yeah you have to 100 because that
and that's what you lack i think when when some of these like
either you're paired
with a celebrity
or someone you don't know
as well or whatever
and it's like okay
you're gonna be able
to tell like
behind the scenes stories
and there is value in that
but
yeah that's why
I understand
like lady podcasts
why are you so successful
lady podcasts
her lady podcast
is stuff Ireland
yeah I know you do
thank you
remember the one time
I made fun of a girl at Barstool?
You thought it was you?
Yeah.
Yeah, what was it?
What?
It was it.
I mean, what was it?
You said, oh, yeah, you said somebody's stories.
And it was like my exact story that I had posted.
Yeah, but it wasn't you.
But it was.
I think it's just a thing you guys do here together.
Did I get out of that?
Yeah.
It is funny.
It's real convincing, too.
I stuck the landing?
Yeah, but it wasn't you.
It was just somebody else.
I'm not going to tell you who it was, but it was just somebody else.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm not going to be specific at all.
Jack, listen to Lady Podcast.
Jack, you'll come in Talking about Stuff Island
Matt and Chains
And Are You Garbage
Let's go
No no no no

When I get a chance
To listen
Like when I've had
All my Lady podcasts
And then I didn't realize
I was like this super fan

So I guess I'm like
Accidentally a giant super fan Of Stuff Island What are the Lady podcasts was like the super fan, but now I realize I've watched like every single one for the past year. So I guess I'm like accidentally a giant super fan.
It's so vile.

We're going to get you a shirt.
What are the lady podcasts?
I have a love one.
I'm a super fan, I'm telling you.

The girls love that one. Yeah. I feel like Paige DeSorbo. Yeah. That's a big one. The girls love that one.
Yeah.
I feel like Paige DeSorbo is like the...
You listen to a lot of goddamn podcasts, huh?
I know.
I don't know.
And he's crazy.
Are you working on one?
Stop listening to him.
I think I've listened to one hour of podcasts ever.
I think Serial Season 1 is the only thing I ever listened to.
Yeah.
And it was Francis Ellis.
Really?
I got drunk.
I missed him. And I wanted to see how this episode was doing and it started and i watched the whole thing it was the only time i ever watched it wait is this stuff island or france
on a different any podcast i've never watched no but what was francis on it's stuff island yeah
you're so you watch your own podcast i watch my own podcast for one hour and that's the only time
you listen to podcasts it's the only time you know to podcasts. It's the only time I've ever listened. You know what is funny, though?
I didn't listen.
Francis is scared.
I'm gay for a friend.
We're off the pool now.
He's teaching him how to shoot.
Got in behind him.
I didn't listen to podcasts for a long time and then when i did
though i think i got better at it because i was like like things that people would say about me
and i'm like ah fuck it that's just how i talk but then i was listening it's like oh that you
are interrupting too much or you are like talking over people you are telling the stories too long
or whatever and it's like oh once you listen to it it's kind of like i don't imagine you know
going through your own comedy and like making sure, you know, you're getting better at it.
Yeah.
I don't do that either.
No, for sure.
He definitely doesn't do that.
Dude, I'll record a set.
I'll record a set.
But listen to other people and be like, oh, that, that bothers me or that is better or
whatever.
I can never listen to my own.
Well, you say you record a set.
Yeah.
If I record a set, I'm like that fucking ruled.
Like that's the best I've done in a while.
Have you ever gone back
and listened to it?
No.
Nah.
I wake up the next day,
I'm like, delete.
I can't imagine
listening to my own voice.
It just doesn't sound,
I mean, it's not something new,
but it doesn't sound
how it's supposed to sound.
Yeah.
I hear myself, I'm like,
that's not how I talk.
And I should be doing it
because I'm working on this bit
that's like 10 minutes,
11 minutes,
and I'm doing it differently
every time in little,
like a microcosm of,
of the joke.
Like a little area will be different.
I'll record.
I'm like,
you got to keep that.
You do.
And all you got to do is listen to it for fucking 10 minutes and you can
document that that way.
And then you move on to something else.
You got to keep that.
I have 10 recordings of this one joke.
I can't listen to it.
Absolutely.
Have to listen to your set.
You absolutely. I started the conversation it absolutely have to listen to your set you absolutely i start the
conversation saying you have to do that i think that's the switch of like that's when it because
like that's exactly yeah yeah it's like it's going from i'm having fun to i'm doing right i am yeah
it is a job i need to get better i need to i will make more money i will be more successful
so fucking man up and do it. You know?
But I'm not saying I'm doing it.
I'll do it the hard way.
Babies and cocaine.
I'm not a coward.
I don't need to study for tests.
I'll fucking just rip it, baby.
Well, it's nice to always have
the little like safety blanket
of like, I'm not even trying.
You know what I mean?
You can't fail
until you start trying hard. That's not yeah yeah no i wish i wish it was like i i kind of obsessively
listen yeah when i'm when i'm working on a like especially a long story where so much depends
sometimes on those tiny little parts one minute two, two minutes here. Yeah. Yep. Look at him. He's like, yep.
I got to get out of here, guys.
I'm going to get drunk right now.
My girl's like, we have dinner plans.
I'm just listening to my own sets.
Like, no, I got to.
Josh told me I have to do this.
I got to be better.
So are you like going out in Austin?
Are you like becoming an Austinite or whatever the fuck they would call it?
I'm doing more standup than I've ever done in my life.
Yeah, I took six years off.
No, but I mean,
I just hear so much about the city
and I'm like,
I think all you guys are just doing comedy.
I haven't heard anything about the actual city.
No, we go out.
There's a bunch of nice restaurants
we like to go.
It's like the perfect amount of energy.
My life is balanced.
Hers is not.
He's fully drank the Austin.
No, no, no.
You were the last bastard.
You were the last holding the line and now you're one of these Austin fucking cul-de-sac. You didn't let me finish. He's fully drank the Austin. No, no, no. You were the last bastard. You were the last like holding the line.
And now you're one of these Austin fucking.
You didn't let me finish.
This is like the old Kevin.
Stepping on my fucking words.
Go listen to some more podcasts.
Yeah, dude.
No, my energy like balance of like doing shows down on 6th Street because it's like nuts down there.
You're getting your sets in.
But we live like 20 minutes out in the south in South where it's like quiet as hell.
So I feel content.
You know what I mean?
I'm,
I'm satiated with,
with the energy levels there.
She's like not,
she's a cat in a car at this point.
She's like,
I gotta get,
we gotta move closer to the city.
Right,
right,
right,
right.
It's just,
it's definitely not this.
I miss New York.
I came here and I was like,
fuck this rules.
I saw a fire live
Saw a fire live?
Yeah yesterday
One of the
Oh yeah
There's something on fire
There's a fire
Yeah yeah
Sometimes you just
Burn fire
This is
New York is the best
Building that's on fire
Should you hug
I hugged
When I was

By the way, just how brutal was it losing to the Mets?

What a waste of a season.
Yeah, seriously.
Dude, we came out so hot.
I was like, this isn't good.
I don't want that.
You don't want to be that good that early.
They were up against like 110 wins.
I texted you.

Eagles all day.
Every time.
Yeah, you're a football guy.
I'm the opposite of that.
Well, it makes sense for you guys.
The Jets being so bad right now like
i'm still right now that's the jets no no no that's a battle right now because the mets just
won like i'm okay like this season's not bothering me because i'm still riding high like the mets
overachieved like we never imagined so i'm like whatever whatever you know what i mean you know
it's a loser mentality to be happy with an okay season. Yeah, I like that. Look at the Boston guy.
He's like, I'm not happy with that.
It's a binary season, David.
He's like, I'm happy we just succeeded a little bit.
It was for you.
Imagine if there was a Patriots season where it was like,
well, we made the AFC champ.
No, look at him.
He's like, yeah.

You've been beaten so bad.
At least we were, I don't know,
having fun out there.
We won two in a row.
Fuck you guys.
