Please welcome Rocco Stowe and margaret cho thank you that's so nice okay i just want to tell you like i was wait i was wondering when in the pot i would bring this up but like you when i was like 13 14 years old little gay boy on long island i would just shut My door and just play her albums On repeat and I it was just like To have someone who was engaging With I felt like me and my sense Of humor no one else was doing that And I just like I love you I love you thank you that's wonderful

Yeah I mean look I always said like it was Two people I had to meet that like Helped me in that period And it's you and Kelly Clarkson haven't Met her yet that's perfect That's good company I love it that's a And it's you and Kelly Clarkson. Haven't met her yet. That's perfect. That's a good company. I love it. That's a good combination.

Yeah. I would like to see that concert. Yes. That buddy cop film. Yes. That would be good. That buddy cop film. The heat too.

Really. It really heats up. It truly heats up. You don't get hotter than that. No. No, no, no, no, no. Will there be a heat too? I liked it.

I liked the heat. The cold. Yeah. The cold. The. The cold. Yeah. The cold. The lukewarm. Yeah, they do it in Alaska. A lot of anchors. Yeah, that would be great.

Oh, my God. Anyway, hi, guys. How are you? Great. Good, good. Great. How's the tour? We talked a little bit before this, but how's the tour been?

Tell everyone how that's been going. It's been going great. Touring is, it's really special. And, you know, just to be able to go to different places. It's like we've gone to where usually American comedians don't go, whether that's Scandinavia or even Asia, which was coming up. So that's cool, you know, to be doing this. It's exciting.

Yeah, she got like four standing O's in Europe, which is unheard of. I just want to brag. I just want to brag for her. No, that's good. They don't like to stand up. They don't vary. They're stingy. No, but that's really special,

especially too because America is not so popular around the world. Oh, I was wondering about that. And I would imagine you do discuss the situation in your act yeah of course um and it's great because we just followed uh kathy griffin because she just did this huge european tour yeah so kind of coming through after her was really great um but i i love it i love touring i think that you know it's the one thing that is the regular part of my life because I've always done it for 35 years.

So it's good. I guess in that vein, like with America just not being as well regarded as it's been. Well, I mean, what's like what has been your way of like winning everybody over for both of you? Like what's been that like gambit you think? Do you have one? I think it's just that you know that everybody's thinking the same thing. You know that we're all incredulous, that we're all frustrated, that we're all scared actually. So I think that's what, you know, if you kind of come at it with that, they get very, they're excited to hear your perspective.

Yeah. Are you feeling scared? How are you feeling right now about everything? I just can't. I don't understand. It's crazy. It's crazy. Also, I don't know why he doesn't just get a good weave. Yeah. Like he needs like a figure it the fuck out. Yeah.

A good, you know, like a balayage like a good, you know, a lace front. Yeah. Get a nice lace front and don't skimp on it. Right. Especially in the back. Because he's got the money allegedly. Yeah. He should just shave it and just get tan and do some juice and get some

tats with some chains. I think that would help him out. Yeah. Take him through South Philly a little bit. Yeah. I think that would be great. It would contextualize the Twitter a little bit more. Yeah. Because then the spelling errors would look like fucking rogue. Yeah, I wonder what his second life character is. If he has a second life character, that would be good.

Yeah, that's it. That's his second life character. I feel like it would, yeah, it would just track together more. Yeah, I mean, at least now he has, like, the, I guess, sense to, like, go back and fix the errors in the spelling and everything. Like, did you see the Alec Baldwin tweet? Yeah. Alex Baldwin. Alex. Dying, D-I-e-i-n-g i know it's yeah well you know he's not doing it from it's it's like an old twitter app that he's using so it doesn't have spell check or something that's what it's like a very i think there's there's also old technology happening he may be doing all of this on a blackberry honestly maybe that's it yeah or sidekick sidekick

yeah i mean that that would that would track too a sidekick bald i mean like you know tatted up like tanned fucking asshole just doing like somebody who could have been on dog the bounty hunter exactly exactly yeah um we were we were talking about your asia yeah oh my god um we were talking about your asia your asia dates coming up and i don't know like should we get into this i feel we were just talking about how like just that gay culture there is like sort of bubbling underneath the surface and it's just still like yeah do you get i get sad whenever i go back to china and i'm just like wow these people are just like not fully they're hiding on the apps but they're not like out there like you know wearing sequins and shit like and i know like in korea for their gay pride celebrations

people wear masks they don't take photographs they don aren't out. I have a lot of gay friends in Korea who are still incredibly closeted when it comes to their work, their families, in every aspect of their lives. And they don't share any of it on social media. And they have a very kind of like underneath kind of DL lifestyle, which is really rough. And so it's very emotional. But I think that kind of going over there and addressing that is really important. So that makes it really good. So do you change anything about what you do? You go in there and you give them? Yeah, you don't.

Yeah, you have to just because they're coming to see that. To see that. And the last time I was in singapore this was crazy um i was like so aware that if you have weed you'll die they'll execute you so i was like that's a real thing so i was searching through all my bags and then i'm like i got i hope i got rid of everything and then so i went and i didn't get searched at customs and um three days after i got there a roach fell out of my purse oh shit and i was like oh my god i could have died but then i was really happy to have some weed yeah absolutely i don't smoke pot anymore but that at that point was very important and so um but yeah it's a scary country they flog people don't they throw gum don't they

give you the death penalty or something well if you um well that was that happened to that american young boy like he was in college or whatever and he went over there and he threw garbage at a car didn't even hit the car he just threw garbage at a car and he had to be flogged he had he was caned in public there was like a rattan cane soaked in water you gotta be kidding and this was like a rattan cane soaked in water. You've got to be kidding. And this was like a huge international scandal because America was like, you can't do that. This is one of our citizens. This is torture.

They're like, we don't care. He threw trash. It was a wet rattan cane and it wrinkled Asian women. Yeah. Bringing the law down on us. Smokey the bear from hell comes out. It's so crazy but that they're the you know if you some people think of these places as like paradises like yeah but really there's

there's underneath there's there's quite a lot of stuff that we don't understand is and i think in singapore too i think it's actually still illegal to be gay yeah right it's actually against the law for it to be such a progressive like neo-cosmopolitan yeah which it is to in in a in a lot of ways it's a well it's a huge shopping hub too so it's all shopping malls and the highest level of like lifestyle you could imagine but it's also it's everything is a conglomerate everything is a shopping mall everything is a mega church right so it's all of these very sort of big entities that are kind of on top of each other financially and sort of with the social conservatism too it's very strange very strange so when you say it's like illegal to be gay they're like to be caught explicitly in the act of gayness i guess or like they're waiting outside the show being like all right let's let

them roll on in there's like that thing like i guess in texas there's still laws on the books about sodomy you know those these sort of laws that if they wanted to enforce them they would but they don't just because it's a cultural yeah thing that's just like there you're there it's on display you're there to look at it but it's not really being yeah i see brock have you done the asia trip yet um i haven't done the asian trip yet but uh it's interesting the things you have to hide being uh chinese like i did a meditation camp and the whole meditation camp was chinese because they'll get killed trying to meditate learn this technique so yeah i was the only white guy in there everybody else was from china wow yeah and that was in North North Northern California so I mean they

have to hide everything you know was it like um was it like a fallen gone it was a Vipassana okay yeah which is just a non-sectarian of scientific technique and so there's and so but they classify with Buddhism so which is not it's the teachings of the Buddha but it's not Buddhism but there is some sort of like political consequence yeah they'll get killed for it out there yeah definitely like I went to Tibet

and so you know which is China and you know going through to even get to the country they take apart all of your books to and this is before Kindle so I actually had books and books, books with paper. And they would look through to make sure there's no photographs of the Dalai Lama. And you cannot have any images of him in any capacity.

You can't even say his name. They call him HH. This is his holiness. You can't say anything about their form of buddhism and it that it's incredibly crazy like the persecution that they go through these buddhists you know you think buddhists wouldn't have to go through persecution but they do it's crazy this is insane i was like panicking packing my vape pen to fly to like iowa city i was like i'm gonna be put in prison no we just do the tour in chinatown i think vape pens you can take anywhere although yeah well asia i don't know but iowa

city's fine i love iowa city's okay i lost mine this morning i was on my hands and fucking knees looking for it i think it's gone that's the worst it's really bad the worst i was in a bad mood all day today because i was half hungry and half my vape pen was lost so sad it's it's not good no also they're like 80 bucks they're really expensive yeah yeah they're just clutch to have i guess the way i was to give away all my secrets the way i was packing it was they were in my toiletries i just put them apart but yeah who the fuck is gonna stop you yeah that's i mean it's fine and also it's pretty much gonna be legal everywhere yeah you know it's just a matter of time right yeah that's i'm leaning into the mic i'm sorry we are really johnny and we're johnny and juning it um i would like to go to california

just because like we were just talking about LA we would like to shout out LA's Joel Kim Booster right now we want to say hello to him he's decided to leave us permanently for Los Angeles where the weed is much better I feel and I'm sure he's enjoying himself out there the weed is really

I mean it's another level of excellence and it's also legal like it's another level. Yeah, it's crazy. Of excellence, you know. Sure, sure, sure. And it's also legal. Like, it's so weird that in West Hollywood, all of the marijuana dispensaries had huge lines around the block for people. Like, it was crazy. And, you know, it still is. It's the highest end dispensaries.

The craziest, like, it, the quality is insane. Okay, so it's no longer that you need a medical reason. You don't. You just can go get it. Right, you go, you just get whatever, you get what you want. It's crazy. That's a beautiful thing. Yeah, I mean, I think it has increased the sobriety checkpoints.

For sure. There's a lot more of them. Yeah. People are like, everybody's fucked it, fucked up. Yeah. But you don't deal with that anymore. Well, I don't. I mean, I don't, but I appreciate the commerce.

I like, I like stuff like that. I like the intervention. I was actually in the marijuana business as, this is a long time ago. This is probably like nine or 10 years ago where I had this business that was, it was like edible arrangements, but it was marijuana. So, it was canna basket. And you could send gifts. It could have just been called edible arrangements. I know.

Really. Exactly. It could be the same thing. But you would send gifts, you know, to, and I never actually, I did prototypes where I would make like little art projects that I have like an art kind of pipe with like you know little Japanese shunga like big beads

that had like Japanese erotica and painted and then there was like marijuana and then there would be a lighter and then maybe an apple like something that's sort of you know like green and like cute shit something nice all with and wrapped in like raffia wow it was very martha stewart like very fabulous but then it was like the legality of it at that point was too hard to negotiate like i

didn't know how to navigate that world and even now it's still very legally very strange and a lot of people are trying to get in the business now yeah but it's it's still federally it's it's illegal right so it's very it's a very difficult business it's a weird one i remember the first time i did the california weed it was so guidos i was like turning like a super guido on read because that's what yeah yeah so it started coming out my buddy started talking about febreze and i was like so stoned i couldn't figure out what febreze was and he goes you know forget i go yeah like the month november is december is january febreze incorrect march yeah i never smoked it again never smoked it again after that different stuff yeah no man

after that i was trying to i thought febreze was a month, you know, that's, that's enough. I'm good. I don't need to, I gotta stay away from that, you know? But see, you're from Philly, I'm from Long Island. So I want to ask you this, like, we talked a little bit before. My like whole upbringing, everyone started drinking at like age 11. Like in the suburbs, it's like, you have a vocabulary for like going out and drinking, like young, young, young. And then when I moved to New York City for college, like I met a lot of people from California. They all had this vocabulary for weed that like was not a part of my childhood.

Were you just like a drinker in high school? I started drinking and smoking weed at 10. Okay. Yeah. But we didn't really call it like what they call it in california yeah right they have all those weird terms trees and all that yeah i don't know i wish i i almost wish i had started smoking earlier because maybe i wouldn't have drank as much in high school and i feel like i don't know with with the drinking age being like

21 it's like fuck that because being drunk and getting on the road you're gonna fucking do so much more damage than you sit at home and smoke weed right it was like an hors d'oeuvre like i would drink and then the weed would be like and like you take a couple hits it wasn't like the main you know of course it wasn't the main yeah it was just like the extra so matt just generalized with abandon that people from california have built-in vocabulary for weed margaret did you grow up with that vocabulary? Like holistically, was it like weed and alcohol? Like, I mean, what was that like?

It was, yeah, definitely. But our weed was terrible in the 80s. Like 80s and 90s, the weed was like really bad, like Mexican dirt weed. Do we get with all steeds and stems? And it was just awful. It wasn't good. And then I became friendly with Brownie Mary,

who in San Francisco was an AIDS activist, and she was making pot cookies for people in hospice so that they could start eating. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they would get the munchies and eat, and they would all become better. She was arrested so many times, but she was really a true,

I mean, what a, like a Mother Teresa, like a real saint. Doing good for the world. Yeah. And really helping all of these men who are dying enjoy their last days, you know? So, it was really special. So, that's when I sort of got hooked in with the right people. Yeah. The Power Stoners. Yes. That's when I became friends with-

To join their ranks. Yes. then you get you know you're hanging out with having thanksgiving with snoop dogg and you know going on tour with cheech and chong and and cypress hill and you know that's sort of the different kind of like you're in a different level yeah so i got uh we got in trouble one year for smoking pot in radio city musical i was with very famous stoners who i they are still in the closet i can't actually say in the closet of stoners it's a closet of stoners but um we got i thought that we because they were so famous i thought we were not going to get in trouble we got kicked out oh and we're doing a show there

and it was like so bizarre because we got in trouble. But, you know, we can't mess with these institutions. But this is when? This was in 2005. Oh, so it wasn't even... It wasn't that long ago. Jeez. It wasn't that long ago. So it was very...

I mean, it was still very kind of outlawed to be doing that. But now I think it's different. Yeah, yeah. The Real Housewives of New York City are back for another bite of the Big Apple. Look who it is. Joined by elite new friends. Rebecca Minkoff.

Have you ever heard of her? But things could change in a New York Minute. She had this wild night and ended up getting pregnant by some other guy. What? You've told her? Not today, Satan. Not today. The Real Housewives of New York City, all new Tuesdays at 9 on Bravo or stream it on

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose.

My latest episode is with Jelly Roll. This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had. We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists. We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations. I was a desperate, delusional dreamer. And the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer.

Just don't be a desperate, delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger. I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started with everything but me.

It took years for me to break that, like years of work. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Trust me, you won't want to miss this one. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looks so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez.

At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian González story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

So these are famous stoners that we don't know are stoners. That you don't know are stoners. That must be a trip to find out that they are stoners. Yeah, then you go, oh, a lot of things make sense. You go, oh. Yeah. So I would give, like there was some some people who were coming down and doing my show i used to be on the show on uh lifetime and we shot in at atlanta

so i would give them pot lollipops on their private plane so they would come and be on the show so that was like my way to get people to come and be a guest yeah was this dropped at diva yeah okay cool i just wanted to that means we can guess we have one people all of the people that were on there oh we're gonna be going through the imdb fact checkers right after this um i will that well yeah i mean it's a relief to me like i know you're not smoked now but it's always like a relief to me to find out that someone smokes weed i'm like okay cool we can like break through whatever garbage and like get real it is it's nice i mean you know when you when you have that thing like most comedians are stoners yeah in general like that's the one drug that has a very um kind of like almost all

comics have experience with it right it's something to do with being on the road and that lifestyle. Yeah. And, you know, just that we don't really do a lot. Comedians don't do that much during the day. Except we'll travel. But then, you know, you have a lot of empty time. Sure. Totally.

Totally. However, just like now I just kind of want to talk about the content of this new show. Fresh off the bloat. Fresh off the bloat. We were reading your release and that you quoted your grandmother as saying that you looked bloated like you were found at the bottom of a lake after days of searching. I mean, that's the way that Asian people are. They really tell it like it is. Like, you look like you've been dragged from a river,

which is totally legitimate, you know? I have had periods of looking very, very rough and decaying and decomposing. But is it like, I mean, I agree with you because, you know, I've had to live with that, but it is like, I keep going back and forth on whether or not that was a useful candor uh in asian culture yeah because uh you know they want to remark on like how terrible you look that's really all it is um you know it it's it's something that the asian people just do to

each other sure you know it's a family thing. Is it? Okay. Rocco, is that like a Philly Italian thing at all? Well, we have the food reward system. Like if they eat, everybody gets excited. Oh my God, look at him eating. He looks so good.

It's like I got high blood pressure. I'm 11. You know, stop feeding me. Yeah. You know? And then you go to the beach and everybody's like, get your fat ass out of the way, Rocco. And now you're like, I'm fat. Like, you know and then you go to the beach and everybody's like get your fat ass out of the way rocko and now you're like i'm fat like you know what i mean yeah i was like 250 at one point you know i mean i had like big arms but i had the big belly the big you know yeah i mean

you're you're just localizing everything in one place which is not necessarily a bad thing yeah no my my mom's friends were always very passive-aggressive. It was always, you look thin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You look tired. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You look tall. And it's like, what the fuck? It's supposed to be a bad thing.

But somehow it's always negative. Yeah, every time I get away, I'm at my Aunt Teresa. You look so healthy. Look, I'm like, oh, wow. I was in a Speedo, and everybody's like, get your fat ass. I'm like, Aunt Teresa, you told me. She's like, don't listen to them. I'm like, wow i was in a speedo and everybody's like get your fat ass i'm like hey theresa you told me you know she's like don't listen to them i'm like i'm listening to the ants yeah they feel entitled to it is there ever like a middle like a happy middle ground for for people for any culture like it just sounds like we're just built and every human is built

to like is you know wired to comment on something either way and then there's also social media too sort of like just the trolling the trolling it never ends it's actually it's it's actually gotten worse it's gotten i just had to leave facebook i'm fucking done with it oh yeah i don't i don't do everything like so i was talking about that on stage like everything's so judgy now it's like people come over my house they're like you're ocd i'm like why because i fold my shirts yeah right you know what i mean i clean my bathroom and now i'm not a scumbag and now i'm ocd why can't i just have a clean place you know you're a grown functional adult exactly that is ocd when you like keep scrubbing everything over and over again you know you keep

scrubbing fuck them you live your goddamn life keep it nice stop giving me a label so like do you do twitter yeah yeah yeah i like twitter and i like instagram i mean it's um i've never done snapchat i don't know even oh i think it's that that boat's sailed is it is it yeah i don't even understand how it works but it's very very very hard to figure out it's purposefully esoteric it's like you're not supposed to know how to use it correctly yeah yeah by design which is which just makes it seriously yeah like they hide they don't there's never like an onboarding process they never teach you how to use it right no it's like you open the app and it's just like okay now go and figure this out on your own that's why i think it it's failing. Anyway, but the show, I feel like,

is this show in particular more personal, more confessional than other ones? I don't think so. I think it's just, I mean, it's just a different place in my life. You know, like I love it because it's very current. You know, we get a lot into like Me Too because I'm so Me Too.

I'm so I am also. Yeah, right, right, right. Same. Yeah, yeah, same, same. I'm so me too. I'm so I am also. Yeah, right, right, right. Same. Yeah, yeah, yeah, same, same. I'm so like same, yeah. Hashtag same. So it's like very, it's great actually because it's really cathartic.

And it's fun to talk about all those issues because before you, you know, like everybody was so mad at like Daniel Tosh for talking about rape, you know, and that there was this thing, well, like comedians talk about rape talk about rape and i'm like yeah you can if you're a survivor it's actually really legitimate and really important so that's a good jumping off point for what's happening in the show um but there's a lot of other stuff of course trump and a million other things so it's it's good nice i have had, when I told a couple of my friends

that I was coming here, a couple of my female comic friends said that hearing you talk about this stuff and your act empowered them to do the same thing. Oh, that's good. And that they felt like themselves again in their scene. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, so I think it's pretty cool.

Yeah, it's great. I mean, I think it's historic moment, you know, when we can actually get into this other stuff and really kind of utilize comedy for the catalyst for change that it should always be. Exactly. Like, she's coming from a place of authenticity and direct experience on the actual level,

where a guy like Tosh is, like, he's just trying to get away with the rape joke to prove how genius he is but then like rub salt in the wound by like insisting that the rape joke is like work exactly where it's not really coming from this personal place where with her it's part of her so it works and it helps others but it's like when james corden is talking about harvey weinstein you know youstein, you know, you can't really poke fun at it if you're not within the experience. Totally.

So, there's a huge backlash around that. Right. Yeah. Well, it'll be interesting. This will air right after the Oscars, but now all this Seacrest shit is coming out. Oh, yeah. Who knows? But now, I think I saw, maybe it was on Marin, but Jennifer Lawrence was asked, will you

allow Seacrest to interview you? And she was like, oh, I didn't know it was like that far. jennifer lawrence was asked will you allow secrets to interview you and she was like oh i didn't know it was like that far yeah yeah it'll be interesting yeah i don't know i mean i i don't know anything really about that i mean i think that it's like one of those things where it what happens to the men who are accused? Like, what goes forth? Like, people even like Aziz or T.J. Miller. Like, what goes on after? You know, like, Louis C.K. seems kind of finite. Although that's almost like, we don't know about that either.

But even then, like, that's sort of a toss-up. Yeah, I don't know. And then why is Woody Allen's movie... Like, why did... You know, like, he seems to be unaffected. Right. And it's a family job. It was like Ronan Farrow who broke everything down. Right.

Yeah. This is all in the family. This is a very specific kind of... It's almost like a... It's almost like some sort of Greek tragedy or something. Exactly. Like, it is sort of out of mythology, all of it. Yeah.

So, who knows? We'll have to see what happens. But... So, the show is is sort of out of mythology, all of it. Yeah. So who knows? We'll, we'll have to see what happens, but so the show is really kind of about tracking that too. Yeah. And observing it and, and trying to make sense of it. Totally.

You've always said, um, just going back to your, uh, thing about comedy being this catalyst for change. You've always said that comedians, um, are sort of the best equipped to message something without sounding preachy about it.

And I think that's always been your strength. I think it's good. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's good. Thank you. I love that. You know, but it's also weird when comedians don't have a progressive outlook. That freaks me out.

Yeah. Like that, like Dennis Miller. That freaks me out. Yeah, it's crazy but i mean that kind of thing puts such a low ceiling on how like not relatable but just how subversive they can be which is not their goal but it's like okay well if you're if you're fucking i'll say like larry the cable guy it's like you're not gonna like actually break out of like you're not gonna advance your art forward well no one's if that's

not what you do no one's superintendent yeah if that's not what you do that's not what you do like when everyone was like kind of like i thought the fallon thing with having trump on i thought it was kind of stupid like that he ruffled his hair but then when everyone was like we expect more it's like it's jimmy fallon jimmy fallon like it's like he fucking plays beer pong yeah it's not colbert no it's and and even colbert is allowed to be silly yeah you know colbert has a great silly side to him too which is really one of the great things about him is that he does have this highbrow sensibility but also can really hit below the belt and also be very ridiculous and i love that yeah i mean there's nothing wrong with being silly yeah not

at all it's it's like it's funny when like even like and also then the pull quotes i have a problem with too like when seinfeld was like the college campuses are pc so i don't do them it's like we don't see what the rest of what he said he could have been saying it in jest it's like yeah and he is you know yeah he's all i mean jerry's so funny too like he's just i mean there's a much more complete thought exactly of course yeah than what is just pulled out he's not he's not not media savvy enough to like just let that slip out and like be the pull quote you know yeah yeah no the dumb people are the ones that are like look how dumb this is. Totally. That's social media. That's why we say no to Facebook. That's my me too.

You deleted your Facebook account, didn't you? And then you moved everything over to the page. Because I remember when we were friends on Facebook, just like in a very casual manner. Yeah. You made the right call in terms of like shutting down the personal account. Well, I just don't have anything to say there. No, totally. You know a it's a weird one where i'm like what am i doing and i was spending a lot of time on it for i don't know why because i i don't know why i don't know what was what was

so i don't know well at least twitter it's like it reminds you to shut up twitter it's like this limit to the to the amount of words and it's like okay shut the fuck up now yeah it's like that's all you need this is enough i have friends that i'm like i would love to like write a movie and put them in it because they're facebook posts i'm like i can't ever you like why would you say that yeah like that's in the world forever yeah you know yeah wow it's only a bad thing yeah facebook is has ruined these these opportunities for these friends i do like the movie the social network i do like that movie i will always stand by facebook existing because it gave us that movie that was a good movie it's fucking good yeah it's a good movie and that was that was you know who i like and this was her first thing runy mara oh adorable yes yes so good so good so cute yeah um i'm a fan of the mara girls yeah okay yeah Rooney Mara. Oh, adorable. Yes. Yes. So good. So good. Totally. So cute.

Yeah. I'm a fan of the Mara girls. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Even Kate. And a lot of people, they don't like Kate. They don't love Kate. I love myself some Kate Mara.

And I've said this before. I know I like Kate Mara. Wow, I'm about to bring up House of Cards. A little swing around there. I knew I liked her when she got pushed in front of the subway in House of Cards. And I felt horrible. Oh, yeah. I was like, oh, wow. I knew I liked her when she got pushed in front of the subway in House of Cards. And I felt horrible. Oh, yeah. I was like, oh, wow.

And she wasn't like a good character either. I was like, it was because Kate. Oh, she made that. It was because of Kate. She made it for me. She made it. That's so weird. That show is going to come back.

I'm glad. Yeah. That the show is going to go on. Right. Without him, which is so. I mean, I don't know. It was transparent going on without him which is so i mean i don't know it was transparent going on without it it is yeah and then there was like a brief moment in time where he was like back and then he now he's not officially now not yeah but the investigation closed and he's very salty

about it like yeah he's out there giving uh sound bites yeah yeah which which yeah i mean i mean i guess that's like a consequence too right it's like of the whole movement it's like oh well yeah these these people do sort of have some finite it's gotta be it's gotta be hard when you're like secret too and you have to be out there literally every day like he's on like kelly and ryan and i think the other day like they didn't even bring it up and Kelly Ripa just turned to him and was like I just want to let you know I love working with you yeah and he was like

mm-hmm like this weird moment yeah it's weird you know because everybody else is kind of a little bit at the end of their career whether it's somebody you know like Charlie Rose rose or garrison keeler even or he's just had a show in l.a joel just did a show with him in l.a oh garrison and it was like a crowd that was there for garrison

keeler yeah yeah well you know it's like that there's people i like i don't know like well bill cosby's out doing shows yeah i saw that he just had a show in philly shows right yeah he's doing shows my producer joe's like from philly too um but yeah it's i don't know it's it's their audiences don't go away i know i mean it's the thing but the core fans look at oj still signing autographs making tons of money off autographs it's like this weird kind of, you know, mysterious mystique or something that people just want to see the freak show or something. It's a deprivation thing where it's like they haven't been, like they just haven't seen Cosby in forever

and they just want to. Yeah, no, it's a zoo. It's a zoo. Now they can afford to see him. The tickets are cheap. Well, this is great. So everyone, please, please go check out Rocco and Margaret and the Fresh Off the Bloat tour

Seeing her say y'all and it became a part of my life I'm from Long Island That's so great It's's margaret and callie for this point you all should um buy tickets to our show it's on march 16th i don't think so honey live at the bell house you guys amazing people are going to be on it just to name a few delce sloan jacqueline novak come on babe who else oh my god uh nathan lee graham oh fucking nathan, fucking Nathan Lee Graham. I love more to be announced very soon. Great. Um,

I don't think so, honey. It's one minute to go off on culture while repeating the phrase. I don't think so, honey, Matt, you want to start? I think you have something.

I have a vague idea, but that's okay. I'll let passion lead the way. Okay. All right. This is Matt Rauners. I don't think so, honey.

His time starts now. I don't think so, honey. You don't respond to my emails. They're always important. If you open the email and you, and like, it's like a long block of text, it's important. Respond to my emails. I could be asking you something very important. I could be in a lot of trouble. I don't know if my instinct would be to take to email if I was ever in a life or death situation, but it could be, please read and respond to my emails. Everyone, when you don't respond to my email, it makes me feel small. And I feel...

30 seconds. That's amazing that it's 30 seconds left. This was such a simple one. No, but you gotta keep going. Okay. So listen, I feel like, especially recently,

we've been asking people to come out and do our live show. You could be missing out on the opportunity to have a one minute of your evening on a stage. I mean, also, let me just tell all the comics we're asking, well, you know it's one minute, but it's going to be on a podcast and people are going to listen to it. So understand that this is important. Please respond to my emails.

Thank you. And that's one minute. Oh, boy. See, the thing was, I so like engaged in my idea as i was getting my emails ignored that's where i put all my energy you were living through the pain again totally that's okay that's okay that's okay all right this is bowen yang's i don't think so honey his time starts now i don't think so honey diners that don't have chalula we were just eating at this diner here in west nyack lovely diner h, Hogan's Diner, but they did not have Cholula hot sauce or even a Sriracha

or a Crystal Louisiana's Finest. They didn't have the actual hot sauces that I want. And I think to be in the restaurant business nowadays in the food service industry, you have to have these options in terms of something as ubiquitous as hot sauce. So, I don't think so, honey. These restaurants, any

restaurant, any dining establishment that does not have a panoply of hot sauces, shall I say. And so, honey. These restaurants, any restaurant, any dining establishment that does not have a panoply of hot sauces, shall I say. Dirty. And so, listen, here's what I want. I want things that range throughout the Scoville scale of hotness. I want things that will give me something vinegary, but other times things that give me the ghost pepper, you know, spiciness that's coming from, you know, the esophagus up. Yes. It's an aftertaste, that ghost pepper.

So I don't think so, honey. These restaurants that don't have all these hot sauces, I am a sophisticated bitch. That's one minute. That's one minute. That was a good one. That one had texture. You can go on about it. No, please, please.

And you were nodding. I was really into it. I know that feeling. Thank you. I know that feeling. Thank you. go on about it and you were nodding I was really into it I know that feeling thank you I know that feeling just to be deprived of options I used to work at a seafood restaurant that had the walls lined with hot sauce so if you want hot sauce go to Brooklyn Crab in Red Hook New York

that's a really that's a good area he works there? it's a really good one of the best sandwich places. Dante's? Is it Dante's? I believe it is, yeah.

Yeah, it's been there since like 1887 or something. Have you been there since 1887? I think so, yes. Italian immigrants came. Come on, mister. Yeah, they call everything gravy, which I like because where I'm from in Philly, we call the sauce gravy. Yeah.

Everything's gravy. Red gravy, brown gravy, you know, blush gravy, beige gravy. Everything's just gravy. It's all gravy brown gravy you know blush gravy beige gravy everything's just great it's all gravy cuz you know nice nice okay rocco um we're gonna put you on the phone for one minute just for anything at all if it's it came they go either way this is this is just what all right we do in this business okay all right i don't think so baby is that what i don't think so honey honey whatever you whatever spin you want to put on this is rocko lgbt inside you okay yes rocko shows i don't think so honey as time starts now i don't think so honey that belt in them shoes they don't match you know how come i'm a straight guy and i'm looking at you going you need to up

do your fashion i don't think so honey why is the bad uh the the um the the planes that you fly on so disgusting we should all boycott with picket signs before we get in the plane. I have a rash on the small of my back. It's lumpy, and it's from these planes. They're so disgusting. There's urine on the seats. I got to go in there with Windex and clean it off. I don't think so, honey.

We're paying $8,000 a month for tickets, and we can't get a clean bathroom on an airplane. I don't think so, baby. Why the FBI spend 30,000 hours on the NCAA and only five hours on the Florida shooting? What is going on? Why is the FBI talking to college basketball? Five seconds. And don't buy anything.

Read stuff with raspberry. I don't think it's going to be raspberry flavoring on stuff. Because it's actually beaver piss. Damn. That's one minute. Multiple topics and many items of knowledge learned. Thank you. Thank you, Rocco.

That's good. I didn't know that about raspberry flavoring. What? It's like beaver piss. It tastes like raspberry, so they say natural raspberry flavors. That's gotta be fucking funny. Yeah, so look at the labels on stuff.

And beaver piss will always have a little bit of beaver cum in it. Yeah. That's true. Yeah, if you're into it, I mean. If you're into it. Yeah, some people are into it, you know. Okay, Margaret,

are you ready for your minute? This is Margaret Cho's I Don't Think So, Honey. Her time starts now. I don i don't think so honey i'm never gonna go on a juice fast no that is just a recipe for disaster i shit enough as it is i mean i'm constantly shitting but you know you add some lemon juice and cayenne pepper and maple syrup bee onto that it's it's not it's not gonna be pretty it's it's like 30 seconds when you uh shit on a juice fast kind of cleanse like it it takes all of the the shit for that kind of holds you together like that's that's keeping you upright you know like i think that's what that keeps our posture good is the shit that's like caked in your in your intestines it just keeps you standing up

so if you want to be an invertebrate if you want to just have no bones you go go on a fast, but I'm not. One minute. Oh my God. Your shit gives you poise. Your shit keeps you upright. That's why they call the undergarments. Yes. Poise. Poise.

I was just listening to, um, when you talk about dancing with the stars, about how that vocal coach made you swallow the olive oil and you were shooting. The fine mist. The olive oil springed up out of your ass. The fine mist. I think,

I think Margaret is one of the preeminent fecal comedians of all time. Always talking. But you will talk about your shit in a way that is actually very, very liberating and refreshing. That's good, thank you. And sexy.

Yeah, sexy. Thank you. And I first learned what colonic irrigation was as a 13-year-old listening to you. Oh, I love it. Yes. And I was like, I have to know what that is. I'm not even sure I knew what you were talking about, but

I knew that it interested me fecally, intellectually, sexually. Interested you fecally. Fecally. Title of app. Okay, well, Margaret and Rock, we have to go, but thank you so much for doing this. This is so great. Really a pleasure to be on here. Thank you.

Thank you. Check out their show, Fresh Off the on here. Thank you. Thank you. You guys are the best. Thank you. So check out their show Fresh Off the Bloat. Yeah. And we'll see you next time. Bye. Bye.
