Welcome. Happy Monday to you all.
Welcome to the number one live podcast in the world.
We're going to have another super
fun show for you guys. I love
these Mondays, man. Look, we have like a real
audience. For Labor Day also.
For the goofy show that we do,
it's so surreal
how serious
shit has gotten. Anyway,
good to see you guys. Nice to meet some of you.
We have some people obviously visiting from
Florida. Am I correct?
Where are you visiting from? Tell the truth.
The UK? Ireland?
Pretty fucking close.
That's our Florida.
I nailed it.
That's how we consider Florida.
Just another country on the other side of everything.
I like that.
So is it Dublin or England?
Dublin. Fuck yeah.
Some of Conor McGregor's ladies in here tonight.
Some of the squad.
I love it.
It's a bunch of Irish people.
You guys listen to the podcast out there?
One of you guys does?
Or you're just like, free show.
Let's do this shit.
The budget got tight.
Turns out the convention, right?
It's not what we thought it was.
There's a little mouse here tonight
for some reason. Keep an eye on
the mouse. He's been appearing in some episodes
lately when shit gets super awkward.
There's the
seal of something. Alright.
Brian gets excited when the mouse works
and just starts hitting random buttons sometimes. This is Brian Redband. Hey, guys. How you doing? Happy Labor Day.
Happy Labor Day, everybody. Fuck yeah. Does Ireland have a Labor Day? No. Fuck that. You
guys just work all the way through picking potatoes all day long. Welcome to the show.
Ryan J. Ebelt, ladies and gentlemen, the house artist.

Super fucking cool poster.
It's hanging up framed in my living room,
so you could be like me.
Ryan Jebelt's the best.
Young Jamie Vernon on the HD camera
in the back of the room.
You know what that sound means.
He has a new T-shirt out, the new powerful T-shirt.
Young Jamie.
Is that youngjamie.com?
Youngjamie.com.
I nailed it just by guessing.
Youngjamie.com, that awesome T-shirt's available at.
What else?
Dates real quick.
Sorry, live audience.
This is the part where I lose you and then have to win you back over.
This Wednesday, if you're in town this Wednesday,
we're doing a Death Squad secret show.
We got Joe Rogan, Burt Kreischer,
Christina Piszczycki,
Tony Hinchcliffe, Steve Renizzisi,
a bunch of people.
It's Wednesday at 8.30 here in the main room.
And we're doing some cool comedy festival
in Houston. The show Kill Tony is.
Brian and I are both going to be there.
It's the Something Something Fest in Houston, Texas.
Literally, it's not called the Something Something Fest.
Actually, that sounds like a hip name that would be the name of a comedy festival.
Right.
Come to the Something Something Fest.
But it's the something November.
November.
Keep an eye on that.
We'll announce it better next week.
I'm headlining Australia,
just like these people from Ireland.
I'm going international in Australia,
October 18th through the 30th.
I'm in Tulsa this weekend,
San Francisco punchline,
Sacramento punchline in two weeks,
Boston's Wilbur Theater, October 8th.
That's a really big deal.
And I'm going to be promoting all these shows
and more on the Joe Rogan Experience
tomorrow at 1.30 p.m. live with my friend Brian Redband.
Breaking news.
I'm the guest tomorrow on Joe Rogan.
So let's get tonight's episode started.
You guys ready or what?
Come on, Monday night.
I think you could do a little bit better than that.
Ladies and gentlemen,
put your hands together
for tonight's guest.
You know him from
the Big Lebowski,
Seinfeld,
Kill Tony.
So, ladies and gentlemen,
how could I forget?
We forgot the band.
I see all this stuff's up here
and I totally,
completely forgot.
Poor band.
Put your hands together.
I love them.
You love them too.
The Kill Tony band, Pat Reagan and Joel Jimenez.
Yeah!
That's just dope!
That's just dope!
Pussies!
Fuck yeah!
Pussies!
Fuck yeah.
Fuck yeah.
Pat Reagan, Joel Jimenez, and some dude.
Hey.
What's up, fuckers?
Hey.
Muhammad Weinberg.
Muhammad Weinberg, ladies and gentlemen, joining the band tonight. My best friend, and he's just fresh from Just for Laughs Montreal.
He's one of the funniest young comedians.
New Faces?
Yeah, New Faces.
Muhammad Weinberg?
Ahamed.
Ahamed?
Yeah.
Weinberg.
He's half Jewish and half Muslim.
I can sort of tell.
I'll hijack a plane, then I'll try to sell it.
All right, there you go.
You know what the opener of his set is.
Catch that joke definitely on New Faces.
Wow, really snuck it in there, real suave.
Welcome to live podcast, my friend.
Joel Jimenez, how are you, buddy?
I'm all right, happy to be here.
Pat Reagan will be with us all night. We always have fun.
You know who loves Pat Reagan, tonight's guest?
Who's one of my favorite
human beings, one of the greatest
comedians in the world. You know him from
Seinfeld, The Big Lebowski,
and being one of the top guests on this show.
Kill Tony. Ladies and gentlemen,
it's Dom Irera.
Wow!
Fuck yes!
The baddest motherfucker
and one of my good friends.
That was the longest intro I've ever had.
I've never had a band introduced
in the middle of an intro.
That could be something
on your rider from now on.
Am I fucking getting shorter
or am I sitting on a shorter chair?
Like a fucking ferret.
You might be shrinking.
I peaked about two years ago.
Good to see you, man. Good to see you guys.
How you doing?
Dom Irera, everybody.
Ireland, getting to see
a real American comedian.
I go to Kilkenny every year.
Where are the Irish people?
Oh.
Oh, you're all from England
and you're super pissed that I've been calling you guys
Irish the whole time.
That's what's going on.
Of course, the Irish chick spoke up louder than the boring British people.
Ireland, proud of it!
So proud of being from Ireland that I thought the eight people with her were all Irish as well.
Well, the English and the Irish are different only in the sense that the Irish
that can write are talented
and deep thinkers.
And the English just fucking basically raped
the whole world.
Other than that,
raped and pillaged,
whatever pillage is.
Pillage sort of
sounds like an adorable kind of
invasion. Why do I feel like I'm fucking sitting in a hole?
Come sit over here, Dom
You do seem bigger
Let me switch chairs
Dirty rotten scoundrels
May I go to the bathroom, please?
Is there a happy Labor Day?
Does that mean you gotta go back to your shit job tomorrow?
You say happy Labor Day like happy Memorial Day?
That is an interesting question.
Happy Fourth of July.
We liberated ourselves from you motherfuckers.
Yeah.
I'm going to switch mics with you.
Hello.
To another mic altogether?
Fuck yeah.
Fuck yeah.
Is this thing on?
Hello.
The number one live podcast in the world.
Shit's happening on the fly, ladies and gentlemen.
Can you hear me?
Yeah, it's good.
So welcome to the fucking show.
You guys ready to get it started or what?
We have the band. We have our guests.
You know the cast.
Let's get into it.
This is one of the most spontaneous shows in the world
where anything can happen at any given time.
Complete strangers and some of the best upcoming and old comedians in the world all sign up in the bucket.
Anytime, pretty much anyone in the world can sign up.
Anytime between 6 and 7.30 every Monday.
And we have a bucket full of names.
And if you get pulled up, you do 60 seconds on stage.
Comedians, most of them over here.
Some of the crazier, newer people in the back that don't know where the comedians sit yet.
Scaredy cats.
Back there in the darkness, wherever you are.
You know how it works.
I pull your name out of the bucket.
You come on stage.
You get 60 seconds of stage time.
You know your 60 seconds is up
when you hear the sound of a kitty.
Aw, so adorable.
Wrap it up then, or else you're going to bring out
the annoyingly long West Hollywood bear.
Ooh, I like it tonight.
Very good.
All right, that's perfect.
If you hear that sound.
Oh.
There he is, the bear coming in a little late.
Maybe that's the Compton bear and not the West Hollywood bear.
That's a black people are late joke, everybody.
What's that supposed to mean, motherfucker?
Fucking rude.
Bullshit.
black people are late joke everybody.
What's that supposed to mean, motherfucker?
Fucking rude.
It's funny how black comedians can sort of get away with saying
like shit that if we said...
Oh yeah. And the white boy's always dumb.
Man, the black guy ain't going that
motherfucker.
Stinky pussy. Thank you very much.
Stinky stanky pussy.
That's pretty much it. Why you be that? Alright. That's pretty much it.
Why you be that?
All right.
That's Trevor Noah from The Daily Show.
Martin Lawrence did a thing about deep pussy, whatever that is.
And I went up to the stage.
I said, you know, not for nothing, but that's my bit.
And he believed me.
He said, man, I didn't mean to steal.
I said, Martin, I don't have a deep pussy bit.
Because I told the audience I had T-shirts with deep pussy on them and culottes.
Anyway, let's get this show.
Let's get it started, shall we?
We're going to go to the bucket.
You get 60 seconds.
After that, we talk to you about anything in the world.
All of a sudden, you went from being a comedian for 60 seconds to a person being interviewed on a live podcast.
You guys ready to get this shit started or what?
Here we go.
My hand is in the bucket.
This is a song that we're doing.
Doing, doing. Put your hands together. I already love it. So you scratch out. Okay.
We're going to talk about this later. Put your hands together for your first comedian, EZ Real.
Some guy just got up and left.
I just saw some guy get up
out of that couch and literally
run away. I've never
seen that before.
Come on, man.
How did only I see that?
Did you guys see that? He was wearing a white t-shirt maybe
can somebody go chase him down no the restroom's over there like no he literally i could tell he
got up because of the name that was said that was so amazing you would think that i've seen that
170 episodes maybe we get through like eight to ten comedians you would think i would have seen
like somebody just get up and run for their lives.
But no, that was a first.
Put your hands together for, you know,
I feel so bad. He was
so scared. Just, even though he's not here,
give it up for Easy Real.
I'm going back in the bucket.
Let's all hope he doesn't just
kill himself immediately.
This looks like a new name.
Christina Manuel
Mayne Leonard. Christina Mayne
Leonard.
We love it!
Christina Marie Leonard, everybody.
Come on.
So I hate weddings.
I don't know if there's anybody out there that really likes weddings,
but especially for girls, weddings are so expensive.
You have to spend money on a dress. You got to spend money on a gift for the bride and groom. You got to spend money on a dress. You gotta spend money on a gift for the bride and groom. You gotta spend money on
getting your hair done before the wedding.
And on therapy for after
the wedding.
You know, I think the only wedding that
really worked out was the wedding
between
Padme and Anakin Skywalker in
Star Wars Episode II, Attack of the Clones.
Because in that particular
wedding,
you didn't have to pretend that things were going to work out.
We all knew they were not going to work out.
I think that I always thought that my love for Star Wars would help me with relationships,
but deep, deep down,
whenever I say I love you to a guy,
there's this sick, sick part of me that when I say I love you to a guy, there's this sick, sick part of me
that when I say I love you
to a guy, I just expect him to respond back
with, I know.
60 seconds from Christina
Marie Leonard. I gotta
figure it out. It's Christina Marie Leonard.
You're new at stand-up.
I'm new-ish. New-ish? How long have you been on it?
Well, two years
Three years ago I did stand-up
Does that mean you're from Newfoundland and Jewish?
What?
I missed all that
Yeah, that'd be a cool backstory
That's more exciting than Nebraska
It's an Eric Andre joke
Wow, Pat Reagan Shooting from three-point range That's more exciting than Nebraska. It's an Eric Andre joke.
Wow, Pat Reagan shooting from three-point range. The Eric Andre joke is I'm bluish.
Oh.
Okay.
Watch the Eric Andre show.
Pat Reagan's one of the writers for it.
Yes.
So that's awesome.
We love Pat Reagan at Patty Reagan.
Christina Marie Leonard, so you've been doing it a couple years,
and then what did you say?
Oh, I said three years ago I did stand-up for the first time,
but the first year was kind of like once in a while.
Why was it once in a while?
I didn't really know if I wanted to do stand-up.
I was acting, and I was like, I'll try it.
Do you know that you want to do it now?
Yeah, I really like it now.
I got pretty nervous coming up here today.
I don't know why, but I mean.
Are you stoned? No, I'm not. You've got got pretty nervous coming up here today. I don't know why, but I mean... Are you stoned?
No, I'm not. I'm not stoned.
You've got to remember to hold for the laugh. I'm kidding. There were no laughs.
Do you really like Star Wars that much?
I really do.
How's your hygiene?
I shower every day. Oh, you're testing how much I love Star Wars.
No. What? My relation. Is there're testing how much I love Star Wars. No. What?
Is there somebody named Hygiene in Star Wars?
No, I feel like, I don't know.
If I really like Star Wars, maybe I watched the movies more and didn't shower.
I don't know.
I thought maybe there was some correlation there.
Okie dokie.
Christina Marie Leonard.
So what changed that all of a sudden
made you want to start doing it more
and how often do you do it now
I do it like a
few mics a week and
I probably do a show like every
couple weeks or so
but I think I think what
happened is I stopped doing
bringer shows and I started
doing open mics and
I felt like it was more about writing and writing what I really cared about
and less about just bodies.
Right.
You know?
Sort of.
Sort of, I know.
I think maybe when I re-listen to this episode,
I might be able to figure out exactly what you just said.
No whammies, no whammies.
Christina Marie, so what do you do for work?
Are you from LA?
I'm from Nebraska.
Oh, that's right.
How long have you been here?
Four years.
Okay.
What do you do for work?
Like, how do you...
I waitress.
Where at?
Another comedy club.
Flappers!
Is that true?
Yeah.
Yeah, you're down two whammies now everybody knows that if you get three uh
we just keep asking you more questions wow so flappers how long have you been working there
uh almost a year man and you make Barely
Wow, okay
So, that's interesting
With your friend whose wedding you went to
How long ago was that?
This was, it was the same weekend as Comic Con
So I had to miss Comic Con to go to her wedding
I'm sorry, I don't know what that is
I'm a human being
What time of the year is Comic-Con?
I think it's in July.
So you really are like a super
nerd because you thought that everybody just
knows when Comic-Con is. It's like the
4th of July or something like that.
You know, around 4th of July.
Yeah, 4th of July. I know exactly when that is.
But you said it so casually.
You know, around Comic-Con.
You tell me.
Like I mean like, alright so what other uh nerdy stuff are you into other than star wars well i just finished the new
harry potter book it's almost the right thing at the right time uh sort of segued out of star wars
went somewhere else.
But somehow it still worked.
Tony, I feel like it was Easy Real's wedding
and he probably got cold feet there too.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, gotcha.
Christina Marie,
tell us something else interesting about you.
What makes you different?
Muhammad Weinberg striking for the kill.
Luckily, it was during technical issues,
so I never really caught any of it.
We had our own thing going on over here.
Did you say something funny?
It wasn't funny.
Oh, okie dokie.
All right.
I've never had a band member get the whammy before,
but Weinberg, you're pushing it tonight.
You're almost there.
I love it.
I'm rubbing off on him.
Yikes.
That was sort of sad and lonely.
Here's another whammy for you, Christina Marie.
You're setting some records tonight.
So what else?
Do you play video games?
What?
Do you play video games? are you a gamer?
I used to be in a metal band now we're getting into something
I have a web series about
a metal band called Loch Ness
so I was in a band
Loch Ness?
is that because no one ever discovered your band?
that you called it that?
hello Wow. Is that because no one ever discovered your band that you called it that? Hello.
Well, we were hidden in Nebraska.
We were going to go on tour, and then I decided to go to college.
I also got kicked out of the band for sleeping with a singer.
Whoa. Yikes.
So you slept with the singer and you got kicked out?
What, you weren't good in bed?
Normally you'd get a
promotion or something like that, like backup
vocals or something like that.
No, he had a girlfriend. Did he have a Loch Ness Monster?
No.
The logo for our t-shirt
was a Loch Ness Monster.
After the first t-shirt whose logo we thought was...
And you only produced two t-shirts as a band?
We played shows in Nebraska.
But you only produced two t-shirts?
That's it.
How many albums?
This object is the one on display,
and those are the only ones for sale.
You want a medium, hopefully?
They never have the t-shirt size you want.
So funny.
Christina Marie.
So, alright. What was the name of some of your guys'
songs? What did you do in the band?
I played keyboards.
There's another one.
Six or seven whammies
at this point.
You played keyboards. What was the name of one of your guys' songs?
Nessie's Inn, Viking Shores.
Nessie's Inn.
Get Evil Tales.
This was a themed band.
You guys were themed.
Folk metal.
It's a genre.
It's what?
Oh, God.
There you go.
Thank you.
Definitely get one for that.
I almost hit the button myself.
It's its own genre.
You may have heard of it around Comic Con time
Look at him grinding that turkey thing
I want to live
I want to give
I've been a miner
For a heart of gold
I love that
That was some great folk metal
So you hooked up with the singers you hooked up with the lead singer.
He had a girlfriend at the time.
You struck a wrong key with his girlfriend on that, for sure.
And he had to kick you out of the band.
Did they go keyboardless after that?
No, they just broke up altogether.
Wow.
I know.
You could say I broke up the band.
I'd yokoed that shit. Yes, band. I'd Yoko'd that shit.
Yes, you did.
You Yamaha'd that shit.
Yamaha'd that shit.
Yes.
I was amazed at how poised you were in the middle of No Laugh, seriously.
I mean, I would have...
It really was.
I mean, the fact is, if that was on a video
and the audience, the TV audience didn't know,
they'd think you were having a great set.
How can you stay so poised and bomb so badly?
I'm serious. I'm not trying to be hurtful.
Because do you know what a bringer show is, everybody?
Do you know what a bringer show is?
A bringer show, explain that to them, will you?
It's a show where you have to bring people in order to perform.
So that means basically she was getting people,
she was paying people to laugh at her.
I'm not trying to be hurt.
I cannot deal with that sound effect, by the way.
It's literally like, it tickles my brain.
It's unbelievable.
The sitcom laugh.
Anyway.
Go on.
Why are you doing it at the weirdest times now?
I totally thought that was a wave
until you referred to it as a sitcom laugh.
I was like, why are they playing?
Right.
You are so not used to the sound of laughter
that you literally get it confused.
They're like,
well, is there a wave crashing in the middle of the comedy store?
Wait a second.
I think I hear a big one now.
Must be Tony's creating a tsunami
in the main room.
I just beat the game.
You still didn't answer my question.
How was I so...
How did you feel like you were doing? Well, I knew I wasn't the game. You still didn't answer my question. How was I so... How did you feel like you were doing?
Well, I knew I wasn't doing well.
But what am I supposed to do?
I just wanted to finish the bit I had to do.
I respected that.
Can I give you some good advice?
What I think is good advice.
You're doing now a lot of open mics.
Naturally, your smarter references,
smart gets claps and laughs from comedians.
Smart does at those mellow, chill open mics.
So your Padme marriage reference, I'm sure, will crush at an open mic.
I did open mics for fucking years.
I mean, continuously.
I know how it sways.
You're performing for these people.
I mean, they all have their own expectations and and shit so they'll give you points for a reference
but nothing you said was funny
your marriage thing
laughter, I get it now
I literally
it's like my kryptonite
this one sound effect
at least I know what it is
what the fuck was i talking about
oh my god okay okay brian settle down jesus fucking christ all right what were we just
talking about i was on to something oh yeah nothing you said was funny. So, you know, you have to make sure that, like, you have something in there that's, you know, funny.
Exactly.
Dom used the word humorous.
I say funny.
You need something with a little bite.
There's no, like, misdirections or anything.
Like, you sort of have to figure out of the situations that you want to talk about what's funny.
Because right now you're just going to get points at open mics.
And you're going to think it's funny because they're going to laugh because of course every comedian I thought it was
funny at the Padme thing I mean not funny enough for me to laugh at but I would in an open mic
where I'd be like hey that's a good one because you do know that the relationship's not going to
work because it's a prequel but look how nerdy you have to be to know that so Christina Marie
like here's an example of something funny.
Boom, that's it.
That's all he had to do. It's crazy, right?
Timing, you know, execution,
maybe hit the brakes once in a while when people don't expect it.
Take chances. Don't play it safe.
That'd be my advice. You have any questions
or anything? Do you want to hear my example
of something funny?
Let's hear it.
I'm half Jewish and half Muslim.
I walk into a if something funny? Let's hear it. All right. I'm half Jewish and half Muslim. Oh, uh...
I walk into a crowded plaza
with my mother strapped to my chest.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I say, don't move or she'll go off.
That's amazing.
I have 50 of those.
That's a great tag.
50, but for you...
Anyway.
Jewish haggling joke.
Jew joke on a Jew joke.
That's a Jew for one.
Christina Marie.
That's a different crowd laughing.
I can tell.
Oh, and an award-winning applause break for that one.
All right, Christina Marie Leonard
there you go you have your homework
go stay away from the bringer shows
keep doing the open mics but you gotta talk about you
and you gotta take chances you gotta mix something
in there cause right now you would get
you'd get booked to be like a newscaster
or something like that like one of the like on the field
reporters cause you seem like
you're delivering like serious information
cool put your hands together for Christina Marie Leonard everybody of the on-the-field reporters because you seem like you're delivering serious information.
Cool. Put your hands together for Christina Marie Leonard, everybody.
And I'm getting old.
She's on Twitter at C. Marie Leonard.
The letter C.
That seemed really harsh
for some reason.
That seemed awfully harsh.
It did?
Yeah.
Is there a record of how many comics kill themselves after this?
No, I mean, it's harsh, but yes, that is part of the show when people do fucking horrible.
I get what you're saying, though.
That open mic shit, that flapper shit can get to you after a while.
You need to really hang out at the comedy store more, I guess.
Well, stage time is fucking brutal in L.A.
Get out of L.A.
Watch more comedy.
If you want to perform and you're in your first five years.
I never did one open mic.
You know why?
Why?
Because I was always good.
Honestly.
I'm serious.
I was never as unfunny as you are.
Are you funny?
I'm just happy to be here.
I pulled the name out of the bucket.
This is a pretty epic time right now.
You know her as a former regular on this show.
She took a hiatus about a month ago, and
now she is in the bucket, and she just
got pulled out. Her first performance back on
this show in a month. Put your hands together
for her. It is Melissa Esslinger,
ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you.
I only see the good in people, which is probably why L.A. feels really lonely sometimes.
That's really mean, but whatever.
I was going to start a non-profit organization where it would encourage people to be kind to people.
I was going to call it Killing Them With Kindness. But then I realized it was just one K word away from being a really bad racist organization.
So I didn't do that.
But, oh, wow.
I don't know how that, how. I don't know how that,
I don't know what it is about this show.
I really don't.
I really don't.
Bipolar is weird.
It's like getting a box of chocolates every day. You know what you're gonna get there you go a little uh
you acknowledge the tension in the room there for a second you got a huge pop
crazy right yeah that you can build that and then call it out
and that's what happens
how's it been going Melissa
better especially the last
week has been better
in particular better than
the last minute
yeah I've been
getting better doing that's fun
working hard having fun yeah
Dom Irera you know Melissa
I love her I can't take her I can't look her in the eye That's fun. Working hard, having fun? Yeah. Dom Irera. You know Melissa.
I love her. I can't critique her. I can't look her in the eye and say something that's not nice.
Alright, let me say,
let me drum up my acting skills.
You were fucking
hilarious. That was
terrific the way you held to the laugh
and just kind of rode through it.
But you know what shows us that moment of honesty
got the biggest laugh?
Because we felt your pain of being
in the middle of all this and being up here.
Because I've seen you do well, so I know that you can do it.
But to see you just kind of freak for a second,
though, I'm just going to plow through this.
I got 15 seconds left.
Imagine how hard it is to do a minute and it to seem that long.
JOHN MCWHORTER- And then it just goes to show off that you wrote a wave of that momentum
because bipolar is weird.
It was a setup.
I was hoping that you were done.
You know, it actually was you did the life is, you know,
box of chocolates or whatever.
But I was hoping that that was the end of the joke.
Like just bipolar is weird.
Then whatever is going to come after that.
So there you go.
We know you, Melissa Esslinger.
How about that?
Anything else?
Everything good?
There you go.
There she goes, Melissa Esslinger, everybody.
You know her.
You love her.
Easy breezy. A brand new minute from Melissa Esslinger.
This looks like a new name. Maybe he's been on before.
Put your hands together for Isaac Hirsch.
Hello, my name's Isaac Hirsch, and I'm not Jewish.
And the reason that's surprising is because I have the most Jewish name you could have. It's like if I got up here like, hi, my name's Isaac Hirsch, and I'm not Jewish. And the reason that's surprising is because I have the most Jewish name you could have.
It's like if I got up here like, hi, my name's Menorah Israel.
It's a very Jewish name.
But there are some benefits to being Jewish.
One of them is that people think I celebrate the holidays, which I don't.
My boss will be like, hey, you're probably not coming in tomorrow.
It's Rosh Hashanah.
And I'll be like, yeah!
I will be gone for Rosh Hashanah. And I'll be like, yeah! I will be gone for Rosh Hashashah.
I'll either be celebrating or being sad,
depending on what it is we do on that day.
Now it's gotten to the point where I'll be like,
I can't come in tomorrow, it's Hav Dalai Gala.
The Jewish festival of sleep.
And video games.
It's actually a three-day holiday,
which I think is a little long,
but I am orthodox, so...
All right, sure, thanks.
Fuck yeah, 52 seconds.
52 seconds from Isaac Hirsch.
You're so Jewish,
you're just going to save that extra eight seconds
for yourself. No one believes me. I Jewish, you're just going to save that extra eight seconds for yourself.
No one believes me.
You are definitely super Jewish.
I am. I thought you were Jewish when you were
facing that way, but now that we're head on,
I'm super Jewish. I mean, wow.
Holy moly. This is crazy, because I have a friend
who's half Muslim and half Jewish. You do?
I support ISIS,
but I write it off.
That doesn't even make any sense.
I love it, though.
I love how big of a lie is something that totally doesn't make sense.
It's how do you write off ISIS?
Okay.
It's just a Jewish stereotype after another thing.
Anybody can do that.
You know what?
I bet you do have 50 of those.
All right.
Isaac.
It is funny, though.
I just refinanced my cave.
Jesus.
What is your real ethnicity?
I'm, like, German, Russian, English, Welsh, maybe a teensy bit Jewish,
but really not very much, if anything.
So is your whole act
about you looking Jewish
and Jewish jokes? Do you want to be a Jew?
I mean, you did. The part that
is Jewish is your face.
It is. No one believes
me. I understand why. You must have the dick
of a, you know, whatever
is a big dick. I don't know. What is that?
Some kind of...
It's okay. Isaac, where are you from? I don't know. What is that? Like some kind of... It's okay.
Isaac, where are you from?
I'm from Maryland.
How long have you been in LA? Six months.
And what do you do for work?
I'm an extra.
That's cool. I thought it would be.
Now it's
just a job.
Now it's just...
I mean, I wanted to do that when I came out here.
I'm like, I'll be so fun. I'll be on a set and six months later, anything's a job. Now it's just... I mean, I wanted to do that when I came out here. I'm like, oh, I'll be so fun.
I'll be on a set, and six months later, anything's a job, you know?
Right.
You been on the set for anything cool?
Yeah, I was on I'm Dying up here, and he was there a couple days ago.
Oh, you've seen it in the comic club?
Yeah, yeah.
You were funny.
I don't need you fucking joking.
Thank you.
Where do you get the balls to come in here?
You couldn't even do a fucking minute.
I'm networking, Dom.
You Jew-faced bastard.
Dom Irera
that's why he's the best
killing it
we have been being Dom at this long
where you know
I think actually you probably do it with
some people but he's very open
with how good you do on stage
it's always funny
I thought he did a good job.
At least he had a joke in the first 30 seconds.
Yeah, totally.
Yeah, you did jokes.
Fuck yeah.
What was the thing I wanted to ask you?
Oh, yeah, what else have you been an extra on?
Just a bunch of shit.
I mean, let's see.
I haven't seen that.
I'm trying to think.
Is that on Amazon?
Okay, I'm trying to think what will violate NDAs.
I don't know.
I did this low-budget teen movie a while back
where they had me as a high school basketball player.
That was pretty fun.
Because I didn't play basketball in high school,
so I got to sort of live out that fantasy.
It was nice.
They had a uniform for me and everything.
It was way too big.
It was like a large, and I looked like...
You're kidding me. You weren't a basketball player in high school? No, I was not. It was way too big. It was like a large, I looked like... You're kidding me. You weren't
a basketball player in high school?
No, I was not. I was not.
So I got to be that. He needs that for the setup
of his joke. Go along with it. Ask again,
Pat. Oh, this is not...
You're kidding. You weren't a basketball player in high school?
I wasn't. You're half Jewish and half Muslim.
I'm all about profit.
Muhammad.
Oh! I'm all about Prophet Muhammad Oh That was a good one
You dug deep in the
In the vat for that one
You realized you did a couple easy ones
Can I be honest
Can I be honest
I don't like that one.
Really?
I think that one's kind of cheesier.
The other ones are funnier to me because I can see that punchline coming.
I liked it.
My shoe bombs have great arch support.
Great.
Isaac,
are your parents chewy-y too?
My mom's a Southern Baptist, and my dad's, I guess, he's less Jewish than I am.
I don't know what happens.
What does he do for work?
My dad's a government employee, and my mom's an editor.
What kind of government employee?
He works for the Department of Health and Human Services.
He allocates grant money to hospitals.
This is not going to be a good road to go down, Tony.
I don't know.
I wish you would have said that before you answered
the question.
What does your mom edit?
Does she help your dad out
editing things for the government?
She edits healthcare publications, yes.
Wow.
Is she hot, your mom?
Not my type.
Is she like one of those dirty Southern Baptist chicks?
No, I mean, I don't know.
Oh, I think she is.
I'm not really into my mom.
Really?
No, I'm more into people who are like the opposite.
You know, I like larger women.
Get the fuck out of here.
You big loving motherfucker.
Look at you.
Oh, what I would pay to see that.
Remember Aphrodite from a few weeks ago?
Oh my god.
That would be the second greatest live podcast in the world.
Biggest black girl you've been with?
Did you say black girls?
No, I didn't.
Just big girls?
I don't discriminate, Tony.
But you've been with a big black girl, am I correct?
No, never.
The one black girl I dated was actually way too hot for me.
But she was also crazy, as it turns out.
But you have been with some big white women.
Yeah.
What do you think the biggest one?
If you had to guess her weight.
Welcome to a special segment
we call Guess the Fattest Chick
You've Ever Been With's Weight.
I'm really bad at guessing weights.
Come on, dude.
That's not true.
Let's say, I don't know, 200 probably.
Let's get it on. It's not that big.
No, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not like...
I'm glad, I'm almost glad you didn't exaggerate
the weight for comedic effect. No,
no, I'm honest. The place would have gone crazy if you said
380. No, that's
too much.
I don't want to, I don't want to, you know, disappear
into... What's your, what's,
what is it do you think that a big girl has to do?
I don't know why I keep going big and black on this.
B-B-B-B-W.
B-B-B-B-B-B-W.
B-B-B-B-B-B-W.
Hey, their lives matter too, all right?
So I'm just trying to mix them in here.
It's mostly availability, man.
They're what's into me Wow
In a moment of super honesty
Isaac spilled the beans on that one
Well they're easier than hot chicks
Turns out the hotter the girl
The harder it is for me to fuck her
So I go for the low hanging fruit Turns out the hotter the girl, the harder it is for me to fuck her.
So, you know, I go for the low-hanging fruit.
And then I explain to the girl I hook up with exactly what fruit is,
because she's very unhealthy.
And the type of sweets that a girl like that actually likes are not that of the fruit nature.
Normally more carb-filled things like Cheez-Its.
Thank you. Fuckts. Thank you.
Fuck yeah, thank you.
Do your hip bones dig in?
I don't understand what you're asking.
Do your hip bones dig in to a fat girl
when you have sex with her?
Weird question.
Let me ask a better one.
Okay.
Do you prefer top or bottom? Or doggy style?
I prefer top.
You prefer top missionary position?
I don't think I've ever had a girl...
Just digging your hip bones into a fat girl?
Keeping focus on the hip bones for some reason.
It happens to me.
What happens?
The hip bones.
How big are your hip bones?
Are you fucking sideways or something?
Scissoring?
What exactly is the issue?
With hips?
A girl will climb on top of me
in a sexual fashion.
What the hell?
I'm pretty sure Pat just had a strip.
Just hit on my dick.
Live on a podcast.
And then she'll be like, ow.
I thought I had sex.
Really? I thought I had sex. Really?
I thought I had weird sex.
Okay.
So missionary position.
Oh, I have better sex.
I didn't say you didn't.
Well, it seemed like you did.
I just said yours was weirder, not worse.
I'll give you that.
They're having a sat-off, everybody.
Not worse.
I'll give you that.
They're having a sat-off, everybody.
Thank you. Thank you, crowd.
Isaac, so what's some crazy things that have happened in your sex life?
Because you hooking up with a girl just sounds hilarious.
You have a look in which people will laugh their asses off at this.
You know what I mean?
I know what you mean.
What's happened?
Some crazy things in the bedroom.
Oh, well, it, you know, my...
Well, I mean, how...
I didn't like sex for a long time because it turns out I wasn't doing it right.
Now we're getting somewhere, Isaac.
I think this is a road that I want to go down.
You don't want to talk about health policy anymore?
When you say that you weren't doing it right, what exactly do you mean?
Well, you know, I didn't watch porn growing up or anything,
so I really didn't know how sex works.
So I got in the girl, and I just stayed in there.
I didn't go out.
You soaked it.
You soaked it.
Yeah.
Yeah, you got to marinate it once in a while, but you do that afterwards.
You just put it in there and left it?
Yeah.
I love marinating.
Do you talk about this on stage ever?
I'm vulnerable on stage,
but I don't know if I want to be that vulnerable.
I don't know why I'm doing this now, but you...
Let me fast forward you.
If you stay a stand-up comedian seven, eight, nine years longer,
let me fast forward you. If you stay a stand-up comedian seven, eight, nine years longer,
let me fast forward you to your best bit seven, eight, nine years from now
and it's that.
People, you see it all the time.
Everybody comes up and they talk about broad shit.
But if you just said that,
just how you said it,
I mean, that was your thing.
You did that.
That big laugh that happened
when you said that you left it there.
Did you hear?
Did you hear what it felt like to get that laugh?
You know what your problem is? You never met the right priest.
Yeah, they would have taught you how to fuck for sure.
So you left it there.
How long?
How old were you?
I dated a girl for two years
and we just did it that way.
Shit, man.
Wait a second.
Oh, my God.
Wait a second.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I'm going to pass out.
Hold on a second.
Ah.
Wait a second.
This was sad when I heard it the first time.
But this is another level.
You've left your dick in this girl basically just for two
years.
You're so Jewish, you treated her vagina
like it's an APR or something like that.
Trying to gain interest
over the long term.
She liked it. I didn't like it.
She liked leave it in there sex?
How Jewish was this girl?
Not at all.
I like it like that.
Man, this is going to be on the internet, huh?
It is right now.
It's on the internet.
Forgot to tell you that.
This is going to be on the internet, huh?
It's going to be on the outer internet now.
You just turned it into a gif, my friend. You just put it on the reel that I'm going to be on the outer internet now. You just turned it into a gif, my friend.
You just put it on the reel that I'm going to send networks
when I'm trying to sell this to it.
You know what I mean?
That's the greatest moment ever.
This is going to be on the internet.
Internet.
But yeah, I can fuck now.
I know how to do it.
Oh, now that you know that this is...
Oh, now that you know that this is... Turns out moving back and forth is something that's sort of a big part of it.
Yeah, yeah.
I slipped out one time.
I was like, whoa, that felt good.
Wait, wait.
Do you hear that?
What are you doing with your life?
Look at that.
That's the biggest pop of the show right there.
Do you go super fast now?
Like, are you like a jackrabbit and you like just come in like a second?
I don't know.
I really only learned how to.
Right, now you're trying to make up for all the scripts that you missed before.
Yeah.
I only.
The glass of water on his nightstand is just like Jurassic Park.
I mean, I think I was getting the hang of it
and then I moved here and I haven't fucked since I moved here.
You might forget to move back and forth.
Extras don't get laid much, huh?
No.
How you doing? What are you doing?
I'm an extra, baby.
An extra?
You just gotta find a girl with a geek squad fetish.
You know? That's not funny
Isaac that's so funny
Yeah man I didn't think I'd be talking about that
When I got up here
What do you think this reputation
That you're trying to protect is
Who are you afraid is going to listen to this,
and they're going to listen to you killing it on a podcast
and be upset about something?
No, you never know.
Yeah, what is it?
I'm not going to post this on Facebook, I don't think.
You have weird taste in what you want to do then.
You have weird taste in what you want to do then.
If I was a contestant, if I was a guest on this show,
I'd post the fuck out of it.
No, I did last time.
What's your favorite category of porn?
I just started watching it.
Wow.
Like right now?
Like on this show right now?
No, no, last few months.
I don't know, man. It seems like the step thing is really big right now.
Wait, you just started watching porn now?
Yeah.
Let me guess, let me guess.
You don't know how to watch porn, so you just pause it when it first starts and leave it like that the whole time.
Just jerk off to that. Really spark the memories of your first love.
So do you have a sister or a brother?
I mean, you say you like step... No, I didn't say I like...
That just seems to be the popular thing.
I don't know.
That sounds so guilty, by the way.
What kind of porn are you watching?
I'm just watching whatever's the most popular thing.
You know, I want to...
Jesus Christ.
Who does that?
I just want to...
My God, who goes with the Big Bang Theory of, like, porn?
You know what I mean?
Well, it seems like a lot of people are watching it, so it's okay to me.
It is funny, right?
Like, nobody actually ever asks themselves this?
There's a website you can go to for all the most popular porn.
It's called meatspin.com, or lemonparty.org has both of the most popular ones.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know what's going on right now.
I bet it's not.
I'm not that naive.
What's your favorite porn? You just started watching it.
You're seeing a lot of new shit
for the first time.
When you say you just started watching porn,
you didn't have a magazine under your bed as a kid?
No.
Why is this?
You have a lot of wet dreams, right?
No.
I just didn't develop. have a lot of wet dreams, right? No, no.
I just didn't develop... Do you have testicles?
Yeah, yeah.
I got balls.
What's going on down there?
How often are you masturbating to porn
now that you found it a few months ago?
Oh, shit.
Oh, man.
Somehow this actually feels worse
than talking about not being able to fuck.
This seems more personal somehow.
You just pretty much answered that
by saying hundreds of times a month.
Wipe it off with my cell phone.
I'm good at this.
No, I'm wiping your cell phone on the thing.
Just a little bit.
Jesus.
I smell like an Armenian in Vegas.
Armenians in Vegas drinking sugar-free Red Bull, everybody.
Did you cum when you soaked?
No.
No, that's why I didn't like it.
Oh, my God.
So when would you know to take it out?
When it just started?
When she was done.
When it makes pee-pee?
Wait, so she would cum?
Did she wiggle?
Yeah, she would cum.
She would wiggle.
I guess so.
I don't know. I don't really know what was happening. No come. She would wiggle. I guess so. I don't know.
I don't really know what was happening.
No, you would know if she was moving.
So I don't know.
I wasn't really looking at her.
Did you even pay attention to her?
No, I did.
Did you kiss her?
Yeah.
Is that what you guys pretty much did?
You'd put it in and just make out?
No, I mean, like, supposedly, you know, she liked it.
And then after...
Supposedly. After after Rumor has it
Allegedly
I can't imagine why
but she seemed to enjoy it
and then once she had enough
then I would take my turn
What does that mean, take your turn?
Well I would
I would do something that got me going
And then the sex? Well yeah, sort of like that Brian's so excited I would do something that got me going. Jacket?
Sort of like that.
Brian's so excited he's hitting every button now.
Did you ever 69 with her?
No.
Did you ever eat her butt?
69? Are you kidding me?
He didn't even know to move back and forth.
He still probably doesn't exactly know what a 69 is.
He just soaked in her mouth for an hour.
Have you ever seen so many?
Did you hit it yet?
Did you use a condom or no condom?
Did you dispose of it properly, like a shot?
I think you're making that up.
Do you remember how you disposed of it?
We used condoms, but there'd be nothing in the condom.
What?
Oh, my God.
Because I wouldn't come from the sex.
I wasn't talking about my dick.
My dick filled the condom, but it was...
This is all gold.
It's funny that you think that you shouldn't be talking about this stuff.
Well, I mean, part of the problem is I've tried to talk about it before,
but my level of sexual noviceness is just...
It makes it weird.
It's literally unbelievable.
But when you see characters in movies that look like you,
and they're that guy that's having that funny sex scene
that steals the comedy movie and shit like that.
Like you realize that that's funny because it's funny.
Yeah.
Well, when you put it like that, yeah, I guess.
People want to know how like nerdy people fuck, I think.
Especially if it's big girls.
I mean, you ever fuck in the kitchen?
No.
Man, that's so advanced.
Why would you think I did that?
That's just code word for asshole.
Oh, I also know.
You take, like, by the sink, if you have one of those cables, you just put it inside of her and turn it on full blast.
Trust me.
I don't even know what he just said right now.
No, I have no idea.
Were the bits, was the bit good?
Was it a good bit?
Yeah, the chewy Jew face stuff, sure, yeah.
I mean, absolutely, but you have to realize
that, like, you know,
I mean, there's great stuff, but
you're doing, you know, Jew jokes
that have been done by all the funniest
comedians for literally
hundreds of years, which are
mostly all, the comedian is a very
Jewish-controlled
art form, because they're very funny
fucking people. Like Dom Irera,
the Italian here, that's like a rarity.
Hugh Sebastian.
Those trolls are pretty
funny.
Rogan.
Oh yeah, Rogan's Italian.
Do you see the laughs you got
when you were just being yourself?
Yeah.
Don't fucking scream at me.
Hitting a high note.
Did that teach you anything?
It doesn't have to be dirty, but the imagery.
The image of you sliding on top of this fat girl.
And just leaving it in there.
I mean, it's incredible.
You know, one day.
You've got to build up your toolkit so that you're able to talk about those things first.
Was your first girlfriend heavy?
That's not true.
That is a misconception.
Building a toolkit to be able to talk about those things is bullshit.
Doing those things and learning sink or swim and then you're fast-forwarding yourself.
It's not a build-up thing.
It's a huge hunk of bullshit that people convince themselves of
because they don't want to do the best shit
originally. It's original to them.
They'd rather do Jew jokes that you think everybody's
going to like. They all know this stereotype and this stereotype.
You are trying to please them
by telling them what you think they
know instead of talking about your
personal shit, which I've never
heard that before. Ever.
Of somebody just leaving it in there. Because it's, which I've never heard that before. Ever, of somebody just leaving
it in there. Because it's you.
I've never heard that before. I've heard everything.
I mean, you know how many
fucking hacky Islamic Jewish
jokes we've heard?
My lawyer's name
is Ramadanovich.
LA just
hasn't fucked you yet. You're so innocent
and pure right now. You don't want to do the dirty stuff.
I get it.
You have to either be awesome at clean jokes
or you have to tell the truth of shit like that.
You had a good set.
Don't get me wrong.
It was good.
But you fucking killed in the interview part,
which is a really big deal
and is always foreshadowing on this show
of what people turn into
when we see them
later on the show again, which I feel like you're so deathly afraid of the stuff that
you said tonight that you'll never sign up again.
No, I did this before.
It was very polite.
Yeah, I know.
I can't remember what I did.
I love it.
You guys liked it, though.
Yeah, you're a funny guy, funny guy, but I'd love to see you talk about that crazy shit that's only personal to you.
Don't be afraid of it.
Give it a chance, and I guarantee you, you'll be happy with it.
Isaac Hirsch, ladies and gentlemen.
He's on Twitter at IB Hirsch.
Isaac, do you do a lot of open mics?
Do you, like, work out a lot, Isaac?
Well, you know, one of the things is if you want to have fun and have it be exciting,
I should have said this when you were up here, but I'll say it now.
It gets redundant doing shit over and over again at these open mics every night
and keeping it exciting for you.
But if you're talking about shit that you do find challenging
and you do find you're not ready for yet,
then it's going to be more exciting
for you. It's going to be a more fun process for you
anyway, so it's one more reason to do it.
I mean, maybe, you know, okay, forget it.
Isaac Hirsch. Does that make sense
at all? You take more chances
than anybody. You do a new song every week.
I can imagine, you know, cut to
next week, he's
at an open mic in front of four people
telling about how he soaked his dick in his first
girlfriend and people are incredibly
uncomfortable and he's
incredibly uncomfortable.
No way. And so many open mics
are like in coffee shops at 4pm
so, not the best.
I pulled another name out of the bucket.
It's like a new name. Put your hands together for Bella Rose.
From deep in the back.
Bella Rose, ladies and gentlemen.
Hello. Hello.
Is this on? Okay. Should I just go now? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bella Rose, welcome to the show. Thank you, thank you. Okay, so I'm Jewish by ejaculation, and yeah, I'm a procreator. I produce children. I make a big mess and I make beautiful babies.
And apparently I'm not very funny.
But I'm funnier in my own head.
Like really.
Shit.
So I wasn't planning on coming up.
I never like expect to be called.
And then I'm like called up and I'm like, hello.
Here I am.
Like a deer
in the headlights.
Okay,
so
I had a joke.
Do you want one of my Muslim Jewish jokes?
Yes,
can I take one?
There you go. Getting a laugh in the 60 seconds
Part of the set
Hey, Almost Famous 2 sucks
Yeah
Almost what?
Nothing
Are you dressed like a Vietnam vet
Because none of your jokes had legs
I mean you had nothing.
Are you related to Melissa?
I'm not feeling very funny lately.
Hey, just a random shot at somebody for no reason.
Well, no, you kind of did the same thing that she does.
She did a good version of it. No, she did a good job tonight.
You have to build tension in order to break it down.
You can't just say, oh, I'm not funny.
You didn't do anything before that.
You talked about having kids and you did nothing.
You spent the whole minute saying how you don't have anything to do.
Do you have a joke?
I really thought you were going to be funny because when you came up here, I thought you were Howard Stern.
I have been mistaken for Howard Stern in the past.
What? What did you say? I said I have been mistaken for Howard Stern in the past. What? What did you say?
I said I have been mistaken for Howard Stern.
Oh, really?
Man, interesting.
Okay, you were on the show like a few weeks ago
or something like that, right?
Yeah, I felt funnier then.
It felt funnier then?
Yeah, now it's getting a little heavy.
Why don't you take your sunglasses off?
Well, they're prescription.
I can't see.
I guess I don't really need to see.
I can just be blind.
Hopefully you can see
that you really need to write some new jokes.
Yeah, I think so.
The horse of truth.
And a mouse. And a bunch of shit.
What are you?
What is this whole thing?
And why are you at Burning Man this whole thing? And why
are you at Burning Man right now?
I know, right? I so should be at Burning
Man. Alright, I'm going to let you go.
Bella Rose, everybody. There she goes. She was on
a few weeks ago. Get them up.
Get them out.
She made the mistake of coming up with a
Jewish joke after we had just beaten that topic to death.
Totally.
We beat more Jewish jokes than Hitler after a party.
Just did it again.
Way to keep your finger in the pulse of what's happening today.
That Hitler.
All right, I pulled another name out of the bucket.
Put your hands together for Mark Boyd.
Doesn't seem like there's a Mark Boyd coming to this stage.
So let's just keep this fucking thing moving along, shall we?
How about Stephen Holloman?
Hi.
I'm a punny comic, and I went to New York,
and I was doing some puns, and I had nine puns,
and then I added 11 more, and I called the joke 9-11.
Thank you.
And the joke crashed and burned real bad.
Thank you.
I'm not a pilot, but the joke did not fly well in New York.
Thank you.
Oh, forget it.
See if you guys can catch all the puns.
I do puns.
Here we go.
It's a lot of fun.
I saw the Arabian bar,
and it's been around for as long as anyone can remember,
and it's really nice. And when I go, I bring my buddy Jordan,
and he'll bring his buddy Chad,
and we'll get in his little sedan.
We'll go to the bar,
and we'll drink a bunch of turkey,
and then we'll smoke a whole pack of camels
and eat some hummus when we get hungry.
And I know the bartender Saddam, his favorite customer
because I rack up such a big tab.
Oh, she-ite, right?
There's more, but that was probably a minute.
Exactly a minute.
Like that.
Stephen Hall.
Fuck yeah.
Watching that set was like punishment.
Ha ha!
Boom.
I shouldn't play guitar.
I'd sting my own jokes.
I think it works, actually.
I don't know if that one hit.
Steven, what do you do for work?
It's also a night for flappers.
Wow. What do you do for work? It's also a night for flappers.
Wow.
It's like some kind of invasion of flappers people coming into the Comedy Store and bombing on purpose, it seems.
No, I'm just kidding.
I'm kidding.
You were really funny, Steven.
I've known you for a couple years now, right?
Yep.
You hang out here at the comedy store.
What do you do for work?
I'm a waiter and I just actually got my first writing job in comedy
to write for Laffy Taffy.
The candy?
The candy, yeah.
Holy shit.
How awesome is that?
Chew on that.
Over and over and over again. What a perfect job though. That's super cool. Chew on that. Pretty sweet.
What a perfect job, though. You can only write shitty jokes for Laffy Taffy, right?
He gets me.
Theoretically, it's not exactly the most prized humor,
but it's what I produce.
That's so cool.
So you're making a living off that uh it definitely supports but it's still I have to work at least a couple nights a week as
a waiter that is so fucking cool that you write jokes on that like in a wrapper of Laffy Taffy
on paper first and then and then they hopefully put it on the wrapper do they do they reject
certain ones because they're too risky? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This was fun.
I actually got to write with Angela Johnson on a project,
and it was because Laffy Taffy is doing a Hispanic line of candy.
Is it called cocaine?
A Hispanic line of candy.
Well, like, it's still Laffy Taffy,
but it's not, like, banana and stuff.
It's, like, mango or guava or horchata.
Wow.
Joel Jimenez loves it.
So we had to do, like, a writing session
and come up with, you know, like, 150 potentials.
And I had a couple that worked really good,
and then I had a couple that they were like, are you fucking retarded?
Like,
one that worked, I was like,
did you hear about the cow at the car
accident?
He asada the whole thing.
And they were like, hey, that's what we want to pay you
for, that kind of stuff.
Wow.
He asada the whole thing.
That's how you do it.
That's great.
Yeah.
And then I tried one where I was like,
did you hear about the Mexican kid
who had two dads?
He said, no mames.
Which, if you speak Spanish, thank you.
Honestly, yes.
Wow.
They said no to that one.
They rejected that one?
That's racist, yeah.
It's racist?
I don't know.
Who knows?
I don't know.
No mommies in Spanish is like saying, what the fuck?
They should put that on the new Hispanic line of candies.
Is that what you were pitching?
Honestly, I was ready for that one.
I was like, this is good.
This is good.
Fuck the candy.
Keep the wrapper.
This is good. This is good. Fuck the candy. Keep the wrapper. This is good.
That's hilarious.
Hey, Steven, let me put you on the spot real quick.
I'm half Jewish and half Muslim.
Do you have a pun on it?
Can you pun it?
I pray five times a day at the Moskowitz.
You just added a witz to something to make it Jewish.
It works.
Steven, where are you waiting at?
Where are you waiting tables at?
Flappers.
Oh, that's right.
What do you do for fun?
What do you do for fun? What do you do for fun?
So I used to do BMX, which I probably talked about a little bit.
Oh, yeah.
You're like one of the best BMX riders of all time or something like that.
No, I wouldn't say that.
But a lot of people actually say that about you.
Am I correct?
Some people hype me up, yeah.
I have hype men.
That's right.
Now it's all coming back to me. He's literally
a legendary BMX rider.
Well, I wouldn't go that far.
But other people do, and I've seen them
recognize you, and it's crazy, because
people are like, holy shit, dude.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
This guy weights tables at flappers.
Yeah, so
I still do bikes for fun.
You ride around a lot?
Yeah, I enjoy the city.
It's actually a lot of fun.
It's hectic, but there's so many obstacles
and weird architecture that I could have fun on.
It's like a playground.
So when you ride around, is it like parkour?
You're like jumping up on shit and grinding on pegs?
Do you have pegs?
No hands.
No hands?
I don't use hands.
Or not like parkour, but like bike BMXing.
You don't use hands?
Yeah.
No, I have pegs, and it's like...
I don't know.
These are...
What kind of...
I'm interested in pegs.
All right.
So I use pegs.
I grind.
If you see what old people hold on to walk downstairs,
I'm the guy that makes that all scratched up.
Because I'm like, oh, sick!
And then I grind in the cube.
Wait, what?
Have you ever submitted one of your 9-11 jokes to Laffy Taffy?
That would be like a whole bag, because I have a lot.
That was like a third of that joke.
Oh, wow. I don't know why I chose to do one that I couldn a lot. That was like a third of that joke. Oh, wow.
I don't know why I chose to do one
that I couldn't finish, but you know.
Bit off more like a chew.
Do you know Matt Hoffman?
Boom. Callback.
Matt Hoffman?
No, Stephen Holliman.
Oh, he's a BMX biker.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, the condo.
What else? Do you ride bikes? What aren't they? Yes, the condo.
What else?
Do you ride bikes?
What else for fun?
Well, I moved out to California, and I got really into weed.
Like, really into weed.
I got a card.
Thank you.
That's a recent thing for you, getting into weed?
Yeah.
You know, it was weird. I traveled all over the U.S. and rode bikes, and I guess I always stayed healthy.
I didn't drink much or party.
And then, yeah, I don I always stayed healthy. I didn't drink much or party. And then, yeah,
I don't know, man. Coming out here and getting a $30 card on the beach was like a game changer.
Now I... It's so weird. Yeah, yeah. I applaud the fact that I live on the couch for most
of my day and watch TV and stuff, eat chips.
Which is a better life? The BMX life
or the comedian life?
Honestly, I think I would
prefer to continue doing comedy
until I'm dead. I love it.
Even when I
have my worst moments, I still
come home with a sense
of accomplishment and also
an endearing feeling.
Do you feel like you weren't
growing on a bicycle
anymore? I hit a point where
it was like risk versus reward.
I've broken both my
collarbones. I ruptured
two discs in my back. I've broken my
ankle.
I have torn a ligament in this wrist
and other than that, I've probably
had like five concussions.
And that was from waiting tables at Flappers?
Ha!
That was a good one.
So, yeah, after a while, it got to a point where I...
I hate when people say I did a good one.
Because you have so many, you know...
I speak my mind, and I'm up against a tough situation.
My sense of humor doesn't fit in here, and I'm doing my best, man.
Hey, you're doing a good job, buddy.
I don't get paid for this shit.
You're doing a good job.
Come on.
Me either.
Me either.
Keep it up, man.
I don't get paid for this shit.
That's why you're not being hilarious?
There are a couple dollars.
If you want to throw me some money, I'll give you some of the good stuff.
All right.
Fuck yeah, Steven.
So what else, man?
Anything else interesting about you?
Did you ever, like, start fucking people
and just leaving it inside the vagina?
No, that was funny.
I was quite the opposite.
I was, like, the talk of my town at 13,
because...
You were fucking everything.
No, I just, I was also... I did it wrong, you know.
And I wasn't fucking.
It was the first time I ever masturbated.
I accidentally used a chemical hair remover.
Yeah, it's weird how the crowd says that.
Long story short, I was just going to go dry,
and my buddy was like, try lotion.
And I was like, you're weird, but I'll listen to you
because you're a couple weeks older.
And you used Nair?
On accident, yes.
Oh, my God.
You jerked off with Nair?
I don't want to say I necessarily jerked off
because I didn't come, but I mean,
I got like two pumps in altogether, and...
And it started burning.
Oh, my God.
The fire was real.
And you were 13.
Dude, yeah. So you had fresh, brand brand new pubes that are just like, are you fucking kidding me?
No, if anything, I probably scared away any that were going to move into the neighborhood.
This is like a danger.
You had no bush just going into it.
It was just burning sensation.
It was just one red burnt dick.
Wow.
You ever put a hot dog in a microwave for too long?
No.
Yeah.
He has.
Yeah, man.
It was embarrassing.
I had to show everybody.
You go to the hospital and they ask you at the front window,
what are you here for?
What makes you special?
Soaking in my hand.
So what did they do?
Well, after making fun of me for a while,
they had to stretch my dick out.
No.
I'm serious.
This is gross.
This is disgusting.
But I had to watch it happen,
so it was like...
Keep going.
So basically,
I had two guys.
It was a guy doctor and a guy nurse
with my mom and my dad
and the brother and the janitor all in the room supporting me.
The janitor?
That is a strange audience you have in this room.
Yeah, it was weird.
I was performing for half familiar and half unknown.
And so this male nurse...
Even the janitor had to see that.
It's like the nuts guy.
He's just coming to check the trash can.
Maybe I'll stay and watch.
This is kind of cool.
I'm going to med school anyways, right?
He's just mopping one spot of the room in the same area the whole time.
Oh, missed us.
There's not even water on that mop.
So the nurse, he had to, know there's more tighten this you know
pull the skin top and then the doctor had to like brush off like burnt skin oh oh my god yeah man
and then uh you know i i chilled out on jerking off for a while i real hard yeah i bet you i bet
wow but i turned out okay honestly the doctor like scraped away the bad, made my life good.
I turned out normal.
It's amazing.
Wow.
Is anybody getting hungry?
Yeah, once he said hot dog in a microwave, I started getting a little peckish.
Trying to think of the best descriptive, I guess.
Hey, Steven.
Well, that's funny, funny stuff, man.
So what else?
Any questions for the legendary Dom Irera?
You know
Nope, no
No, man. I enjoy you. Well keep doing you
Believe you was just about to start doing somebody else
Thanks for giving him that advice
All right, Steven, so I guess that's it.
I feel like there's something we almost
covered. I feel like we almost
found your
something.
Big areolas?
Ticklish? Dime-sized?
Gross.
It's gross. It's very likable.
I like the way you talked about pot helping
you save your life, and then you talked about watching TV and eating chips. It's very likable. I like the way you talked about pot helping you save your life,
and then you talked about watching TV and eating chips.
That's to motivate all of us to smoke more pot.
Yeah, man.
And then watch more comedy.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, I enjoy watching comedy.
It's a lot of fun.
There you go.
You answer a lot of questions like you're accepting an award sometimes.
You know that?
There he goes.
Stephen Holloman, everybody. He's on Twitter.
Holloman Jokes. H-O-L-L-E-M-A-N Jokes.
What do you say we get our one regular up here
and then
go back to the
bucket again? How about that? Sound good?
Let's do it.
Our one regular writes and performs a brand new
60 seconds every single week following
a long line of people that have done that.
And put your hands together for
Vanessa Johnston, ladies and gentlemen.
Hi, guys.
My mom has schizophrenia, so she sees demons.
So growing up as a kid was weird.
I would come home and I'd go, Mom, is Dad home?
And she'd say, No, honey, but Lucifer is.
I was like, Okay, I guess he's cool, too.
She would drop me off at school and go,
Vanessa, stay in the car.
There's a demon directing traffic.
I was like, no, that's Mr. Long.
But between you and me, that's an accurate description.
We'd always have family meal together
on the ground, in the middle of the night out in the
forest I was like are we sacrificing our food no mom don't eat that that's my
brother
that's a minute right it's 47 seconds oh wow that's fine was there more I mean I
had like a bunch more.
I thought I was running over.
Never mind.
Okay, thanks.
There you go.
Awkward.
Vanessa Johnson.
If it's still on, the other stuff is still on Schizophrenic Mom?
Yeah.
Like what else do you end up talking about?
Let's see.
I had a joke about, i just blanked it's okay um i had
a really hacky joke i'm really glad i didn't say it perfect um so that's wild uh she uh was like
pretty seriously schizophrenic yeah she was in and out of mental ward my whole life.
See, I would mention that one little chunk,
that two seconds of what you just said,
up front at the head of that,
and really put some sweetener on it, you know, like that,
to make it seem like, okay, we're going there.
You know, like, this is serious.
Instead of it, because it sort of felt like maybe,
these are just jokes,
like maybe you're just calling your mom schizophrenic, know so and i think we sort of know because we've talked about it a little
bit right like a long time ago right but you'll want to reset that in front of you know new
audiences and stuff so uh what is like in real life what are some of the scarier things that have
happened with it yeah no i mean um I mean one time she threw our cat
in the dryer.
Oh my goodness.
Did she turn it on or did she just leave it there?
No, she turned
it on. Really? It died.
Are you serious? Yeah.
Did she at least put a couple
fabric softeners in there before?
There was the fabric softener.
I think that's so funny.
What was the cat's name? Fluffy?
Fluffy. Very good, Brian.
Fuck yeah.
Is that because her pussy was so wet?
I mean...
Very good. You did it, dude.
I love that.
He's so proud of himself.
Snuck in a home run.
Hell yeah, he should be.
We watched him go from not having timing at the beginning of the show
to getting in a good one towards the end.
I like that progression.
Imagine that.
We've noticed somewhat of a growing rivalry on social media.
It's been talking about a lot of growing rivalry.
One person.
A lot. Growing rivalry. One person. A lot.
And Vanessa Johnson seemed to have a little rivalry, chemistry, tension, call it what you will.
How are you guys feeling this week about each other?
What?
Is this the only time you guys talk is on this show, right?
No, we see each other at mics and we hug.
Oh, cool.
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
It was like a cool WWF thing for me
or something like that.
But I guess that was just for show.
So, okay, cat in the dryer
is a really fucking awesome thing.
That's not awesome.
By the way,
well, I mean,
it is for what I'm talking about,
which is taking it
and making your jokes about it.
Again, you know,
one of the main tricks
is being able to talk about these things.
They'll be both therapeutic
and hilarious
because they are original to you.
And you take the things
that we just said
about, you know,
the fluffy
and the fucking fabric softeners
and all that stupid shit
and you mix it together.
Cut that dark subject
of a cat being in the dryer
and your mom's schizophrenia
with some of these goofy,
fun things.
Reiterate that she was
sick and that you did not like
this though because that's a hard sell.
When you start talking about dead cats and dryers, it's going to
freak half the audience out.
Take the cat in the dryer and then
take the clothes
to the vet.
That's really funny.
She wants to put a cat in the dryer,
blah, blah, blah, blah, but that's not
nearly as scary as the time that she
took a pile of clothes to the vet.
That's so funny.
That really is. That just makes it
all of a sudden a super joke.
That's good. That's actually funny.
Yeah. Dom. See?
This fucking show is killing me.
Everybody's saying that about Pat tonight.
I feel like that's going to be the new Pat Reagan t-shirt.
Like, that was actually funny.
Any motherfucker who knows me from this show.
Ah, well, I'm done.
What were you about to say?
Go on.
I was going to say any son of a bitch, piece of shit,
asshole, fuck, loser, bridge person who knows me from this shit. It's just a shame
because a homid gets to go up on stage and perform
and just be funny
and be carefree.
I just do this
all the time and people know the show
and so they have an idea of me and I would much rather
perform in front of audiences where I can take chances
and be funny and
do my shit.
Pat, I love you.
You're killing it,
and I think you're absolutely perfect on this show,
and I love you, and I love growing with you.
I hope you know that.
Yeah, gay, Brian.
A little third-grade sense of humor for you internet trolls.
Brian said that was gay,
so you can favor his next tweet.
All right.
G-H-A-Y.
And every Instagram follower's name is like JawPunch123 or something.
Like every Instagram follower that I get from Kill Tony, it's like Shovelhead 98i.
Like a shitty BMW
model or something.
Way to win over people.
All of a sudden just
taking shots at the stereotypical
Kill Tony fan. Seems like
all the fans of this show all have the same
handle like, shithead number
five.
This is gonna...
This is gonna... Anyway.
Fuck yeah.
I love it. Well, Vanessa,
you did it again. Another new minute.
Congratulations. Thank you.
Always want to hear more about the schizophrenic mom.
That's some interesting shit.
Crazy subject matter.
What were your parents like, Dom?
Well, my father left.
We have a mic thing.
This thing went off.
Thank you, nice man.
I was thinking when she was saying that about,
wouldn't you be afraid that somebody like that would poison you?
Like a mother that crazy?
You know, if I'm some God, Jesus wants you now.
Or worse yet, put you in the dryer.
How about that? Imagine if
she put you in the dryer.
Talk about drying.
Joel Jimenez.
Rookie of the year. Joel Jimenez.
It's really a pleasure to be playing behind the band.
Behind the band.
I remember when you used to actually run this show.
Yeah, totally.
It's unplugged now.
I love it.
I love this crazy crew.
What is the difference between Muslims and Jews?
I don't know.
You guys know?
I've got a few theories.
Sandy pussy.
Okie dokie.
I'm going to go back to the bucket again.
How about that, guys?
You ready to do this shit or what?
Let me ask the audience something.
Was it intimidating at all how pretty she was?
Seriously, because she said hi to you and nobody answered.
Because everybody was kind of looking at her
I think sometimes when you're as pretty as somebody like her
it's hard to do comedy
do you agree?
wasn't it distracting at all?
do you notice that when you talk to her
she always does this thing with her tongue
where she's like
you're thinking that can be my balls?
yeah
I've always thought that.
It's one of the obviously standout things about her.
She's blatantly pretty,
and that's why I've always thought that it would be interesting
to see how it develops writing and performing
a brand new minute every single week.
You can't really say that there's no pretty, successful female stand-up comedians
without starting 12 blogs right now.
But I will say that some of them are pretty.
Who do you think the hottest one is?
I think Sarah Silverman is the hottest one.
Sarah Silverman all day. Ahamed Weinberg's friend. Ahamed was on TM is? I think Sarah Silverman's the hottest woman. Sarah Silverman all day.
Ahamed Weinberg's friend.
Ahamed was on TMZ this week with Sarah Silverman.
You were?
Yeah.
It said on the caption, it was a picture of her and Sarah with coffee.
And it said, Sarah Silverman's with her male friend.
With you?
That's so funny.
I was up in Montreal when they were doing the roast thing.
I was talking to Sarah and I said,
Sarah, you've been with a lot of comedians.
Who was the best in bed that you ever had?
Guess what she said.
Kimmel.
She says, you know why Kimmel was?
Because he was enthusiastic.
Sad fucking comment
about your sexuality.
How was he in bed? Enthusiastic
He's like a happy puppy
I can't believe I'm fucking Sarah Silverman
I'm surprised he was good in bed
He puts a lot of people to sleep at 1130
Oh, that's not true
I'm just kidding
I love Jimmy Kimmel
He judged against me in roast battle.
He picked the Canadian guy.
He's got a really funny son, Kevin Kimmel.
You should follow him on Twitter.
Kevin Kimmel.
All right, let's go to the bucket again.
You guys ready to close this fucking crazy thing out?
Anything can happen.
Who the fuck knows?
It's been surprisingly sort of a,
you know,
this looks interesting. This looks interesting.
This looks like definitely a new name.
Put your hands together for David Shine.
Yeah, what's up, everybody?
Oh, man. I'm pretty silly.
I do a lot of dumb shit.
Sometimes when I'm bored, I dress up like a bear and go to the grocery store and buy nothing but honey.
And honey-based products.
Honey nut Cheerios, honey smoked ham, honey buns.
Those are delicious.
Then I take it up to the cashier.
Cashiers usually get mad when you're a grown man dressed as a bear
by a number of honey, surprisingly.
Especially when you don't pay them. They'll be like,
sir, that'll be $535.
And I'm like, what the fuck is dollars, bitch?
I'm a bear.
Then I run away.
Great way to fuck up somebody's day, let me tell you.
Bears are crazy now I think
about it. I want to know who came up with that rule
of an 1100 pound bear attacks you
so you're supposed to lie still and play dead.
Like who the fuck told you to do that, the bear?
He's like, hey dog, if you lie still
I'm going to leave you alone son, word is fine.
It's a black bear guys, obviously let's not.
Let's not be racist, let's not be racist.
Thank you, I'm Davey Shard.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. That's not be racist. Thank you. I'm Davey Shard. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
That's what I love about this show is that sometimes we'll spend an hour and a half pretty
much talking about how hard it is to do comedy, and then all of a sudden out of the bucket
comes blatantly somebody from the future.
Here I am.
Davey, you seem like a young guy.
How old are you?
22.
20 fucking two, ladies and gentlemen.
That's incredible. How long have you been on. 20 fucking 2, ladies and gentlemen. That's incredible.
How long have you been on stand-up?
Five years.
Five years.
Where'd you start at?
New York.
Wow.
Not in the city, though.
I started my first year as upstate New York, then I moved to the city.
And I just moved here like two weeks ago.
Holy shit.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Jesus.
I'm not going to lie.
I didn't want to do this at first because I didn't know what it was because I missed the potluck.
And then they were like, yo, you should do this. And then I found out
you guys make fun of everybody. I was like, nah.
That's not the first thing I want to do
the first two weeks that I'm here.
Sort of. But I was like, fuck it. I'm just trying to get
on stage, man. Exactly. And that's the name
of the game. And that's how I would be treating
it if I was in your position
as well. Because then all of a sudden you get to meet
people and people get to see you.
You know what I mean? It's like a whole thing.
So that's cool. You moved
here two weeks ago. What part of town are you living in?
Sylmar.
Holy shit. That's like what? 45
minutes away? I don't fucking know. 30?
You don't fucking know. How do you not fucking know?
Of all the people up here.
My GPS tells me where that shit is at. I have no idea.
Every time I say Sylmar, people like it's like a distant valley somewhere, I guess.
I don't know.
Interesting.
Now, you're from New York.
What are your parents like?
Black.
I'm just light-skinned, man.
What do you do for work?
Stand-up.
All the way.
Making money.
Not a lot, but you know.
But you do the road, little gigs here and there. Yeah, not a lot, but you know, but you do the road little gigs here
Yeah, earlier in there, you know open for somebody
No, I mean, I did it like a lot of like funny bones and feature work and stuff like that, but you know, that's great
I'm trying town upstate New York Albany the capital. Yeah
Anyone from Albany? Hell no. I heard a woo.
I was like, hi.
Albany?
All right.
Hey.
What's up, man?
I, uh, I, uh.
Okay.
Yeah.
I, uh, was, uh.
All right.
Okay.
Very good.
Yeah, very good.
Very good.
Very good.
You got it?
You ever do the Hartford funny bone in the mall?
No.
I did the Syracuse funny bone, and I've done the Albany funny bone, and that's it.
You ever do the SOMAR funny bone?
There's a funny bone?
Are you guys trying to book yourselves at the funny bone right now over there?
If we say funny bone five times, maybe we'll get a spot.
David Shine.
Am I saying that right?
Yes.
Okay.
Says your whole life's on the line
on the back of your t-shirt
which actually is true
walking around as a black man.
You're absolutely right.
That's not even a joke.
It is true.
I'm just saying it.
That shirt looks very intense.
It is busy.
Did you wrestle in high school?
Yes, I did.
Did you wrestle in college?
Yes, I did.
Holy shit.
What weight?
141.
Oh my God.
You should wrestle.
You could pretty much kill anybody in this room.
I told you the other day, I saw you wearing wrestling shoes.
I was like, yo, man, that's how you get ringworm, man.
What the fuck are you doing?
Remember?
You don't remember that?
Well, that's if you wrestle in those wrestling shoes.
Well, yeah, of course.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You don't wrestle.
I didn't know that.
I didn't know.
Remember that joke about I used to wrestle in high school, but as soon as I'd come, I'd quit?
wrestling high school, but as soon as I come, I quit.
Listen, wrestling
is a fight
with rules, okay? It's not gay.
Very much so. I agree.
That's why 90%
of UFC champions come from
wrestling backgrounds, because it's a
fucking fight. It's not like two dudes humping each other.
Absolutely. I mean, I'm sorry. I'm a big advocate
of wrestling. I have to fucking stand up for that shit.
If anybody wants
to argue with David about that,
you can find him out on the sidewalk
after the show. Pretty much.
I would recommend you do not.
Wait. You ever have to use it
off the mat? Yeah, because like I...
Some shit starts and then you shoot low.
I'm just really like, you know, like goofy and like
long and lanky. It is hilarious
what happens if you've ever seen anyone get
in a fight with a wrestler.
They think that you're a pussy. All of a sudden
some idiot starting shit puts
their hands up like this or something.
And then you're in the air? Gone.
They just disappear.
And then they're on their back and they're on top
just absolutely landing everything.
That's fun.
What was the fight that you got into?
What was that about?
Yeah, so I got
kicked out of this club,
I guess. I don't know. I don't even remember.
It was a long time ago, but I got
dragged out. I got thrown out
like Jazzy Jeff, like Superman.
They threw me out, but they carried
me out, and I told the dude, I was like, when you put me down, I'm going to punch you in the face.
And he put me down, and I punched him in the face.
It was a bouncer or whatever.
But dude, the guy was huge, like 6'8".
You would never have thought that I would have fought this guy.
And he rushed me.
And when he rushed me, I just tossed him on his face.
So yeah.
Even the other bouncers were like, holy shit!
But then they, you know, beat the shit out of me after that.
But, you know.
Strength in numbers.
That's not the part of the story I like to tell, but, you know.
Have you fucked with jiu-jitsu yet?
Yeah, I mean, believe it or not, if I wasn't a comedian, I'd be an MMA fighter.
Like, I went to school with, like, John Jones and shit.
Like, that's how I know dreams are true.
Because, like, I was literally there when it was just a thing in his imagination. He was like how I know dreams are true because like I was literally there
when it was just a thing in his imagination.
He was like, I'm thinking about joining MMA this summer.
And literally two years later, he became champion.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
Like we had a heart to heart.
Like I used to eat lunch with him every day.
I used to get the same thing.
Fucking potato bread.
Potato bread?
Yeah, potato bread and...
Boner pills and cocaine.
Where were you guys living inside of the Lord of the Rings?
Yeah, no, no, no, no? Man, me and him would eat the same
meal every day. No, he would eat the same
meal every day. Potato bread. He would eat
the same meal every day. Can I tell you something?
Yes. I'm not trying to be provocative.
He thinks you're a pussy, honestly.
Pat Reagan.
I did hear Pat. He does.
I did hear Pat say that under his breath.
All right.
Well, that's fun, David.
That's one thing I'm not.
How's the love life?
Thank you, Don.
The love life?
I actually just broke up with my girl after four years, so I'm not really worried about it.
Wow.
So I'm not really.
I mean, I haven't really been looking.
You know what I mean?
I'm like Fuck bitches man
Money yeah
Yeah but now you got
I like groupies though
So I'm signing titties after this
Now you got LA girls man
You just moved here
Now you can fuck all these LA chicks
I mean a lot of these LA chicks
Are like
I mean I'm not trying to diss anybody
But
Now it's time to find someone
To perform on your funny bone
Ah
Ba-doop-doop
Nothing on that
Did you ever leave it in for a really long time?
I mean, yeah, because I got a lot of dick.
So I just leave it in.
Oh, that was a black joke.
It's all turning.
It's awkward. What's the awkward sound, man?
Are you fucking up?
I agree completely
with everything that you say, dude.
I completely agree.
Anybody else, I would totally disagree with.
But you, I really like.
All right.
Thank you, man.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So what else is going on?
I mean, you're living in Sylmar.
You only listen to your GPS.
Yeah, pretty much.
You have a roommate up there in Sylmar?
Yeah.
Yeah.
How's that going for you?
I mean, we both sleep on an air mattress.
It's weird.
Not the same air mattress.
That's gay.
Right.
Yeah.
But we're like in the same room. Do you weird. Not the same air mattress. That's gay. Right. Yeah. But like,
we're like in the same room.
Do you look at each other
when you sleep?
Yeah,
like my boys,
like my boys are kind of,
Willy Wonka style.
They make fun of me.
They're like,
yo,
do you guys wake up in the middle of the night
and be like,
yo dog,
what you dreaming about?
It's like,
it's weird.
It's weird.
It's weird.
Cause like we literally live,
I mean,
it's one room,
but we got like,
you know,
I'm going to move out soon,
you know,
but I just had to get here first. Once I get here, the first step was getting here, you know, it's one room, but we got like, you know, I'm going to move out soon. But I just had to get here
first. The first step was getting
here, you know? So I'm here.
Welcome to LA, man. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Totally.
Air mattress.
Been there, done that.
Man, it's the
grind, man. That's it. That's why I'm happy I'm a wrestler.
Well, congratulations, David. You have
great, great, great stage presence.
Great timing. Great jokes.
It's awesome when new people
move out here. It's awesome when people
sometimes sign up for the show.
People get to
realize that, yeah, we make fun of people
on this show, but it's also
doubly rewarding if you listen to the questions
we ask you and you answer them honestly.
The crazy shit that can happen.
You were funny all the way through. Awesome
stuff. Nice to meet you.
Welcome to LA. David
