Starting point is 00:02:42 I think I booked him on a show. And you wanted to fight me that night. Wow. How do you think you handled yourself? I thought it was fine. I don't even remember what it was. What happened? I just remember being like, this kid sucks.
Starting point is 00:02:53 You told me that you had just been opening for Louis Anderson. I just opened for him. Yeah. And I was like, well, that makes sense. You look like him. That could have been it. No, that was it. No.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Of course your story is you got a good burn and I was like, well, that makes sense. You look like him. That could have been it. No, that was it. Of course your story is you got a good burn and I was mad. It wasn't like, who's this arrogant pussy? That's what I was thinking. I'm sure that was all. I'm sure I said. Who's this fucking guy? That was the thing that made you ask me if I wanted to go outside and fight you. You pulled his pigtails.
Starting point is 00:03:20 There's no chance. Yeah, absolutely. You met Shane and pulled his pigtails. What do you think I did? There's no chance. Yeah, absolutely. You met Shane in Polo's pigtails. What do you think I did?
Starting point is 00:03:32 I think, I vaguely remember it, but I can promise you there's almost no way someone was like, yeah, you look like Louis Anderson. And I was like, I'll kick your ass. Like that was the first time someone's been like, you know what you look like? All right. I guess we just remember things differently. So you were like, take it outside. And you know me.
Starting point is 00:03:46 I'm a big, yo, let's take this outside. Well, no, because I... First off, we were outside. We were sitting outside. No, but then we went inside. Yeah, we met outside of the patio. Inside the patio. Then we went inside, and I was like, let's get the fuck back out there. Nobody calls me Louis Anderson.
Starting point is 00:04:11 I could have sworn that's what it was but all i remember is i said that and then started talking to somebody else and i looked back at you and you hadn't stopped looking at me and then you asked me this one he's obsessed with you yeah yeah he loves me hey look don't take it out on me because you started bad i'm trying to promote your podcast i know you're look don't forget i'm doing you a favor right now huge favor you're going up in podcasts right now kept reminding me of that the whole time we were waiting for food i went to go get benihana with wood before the show because i was just like i was in cherry hill seeing a friend and he was like yo he's like you want to go get benihana and i was the show.

Starting point is 00:06:05 I know I've seen him. It's just a wild black dude that's always in. Literally the Hulkamania hat and the blonde Fu Manchu. What? And blonde long hair. And he walks around in like a cutoff. LeMaire, you see him right now? He's pretty great.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Doesn't matter. It was just a nice sighting. That's pretty crazy. And then, how great is this? Sorry to cut off the Indiana story. How good is it when you get in like a road rage altercation and then you guys both laugh? Yeah. It's nice.
Starting point is 00:06:33 There was a black lady on the corner. And I guess I was going too slow through the light because she wanted to walk across. For her, yeah. And she was like, she did like that to me. And while I was driving by, I was like. And her, I made them run. Her and her boyfriend started running around laughing. It was great.

Starting point is 00:07:17 They're playing chicken. They're ready to die every time they cross the street. That's so fucking... They're like, I dare you to speed up.

He basically 50 Shades of Grey'd you. Really? I was trying to figure out his intentions the whole time. I was really in my head about it.
Starting point is 00:08:51 You can't. You can't. You really can't. You guys have hung out. I know he did your podcast. Yeah. But that wasn't in person. Zoom.

Man. So you guys went on a date
Starting point is 00:09:46 and then he was like leave. Well, I was in he was like meet me at Benihana at two o'clock. Sorry, I'm thinking of all the people
Starting point is 00:09:54 like the mechanics who listen to oral presentations like what the fuck? What? Not my sweetheart, Wood. He wouldn't do anything like that. Wood's out in New Jersey trying to fuck guys?
Starting point is 00:10:01 You wouldn't do anything like that. What's out in New Jersey trying to fuck guys? You guys planned it for 2 o'clock, so you were both, I would imagine, got there at 2.30. No, I'm prompt. You are punctual. I'm punctual. Wood is not. Wood is not. Showed up late, but we had to make a reservation for 2.30.
Starting point is 00:10:20 They wouldn't just let us sit down. They had to timetable it. He's like, let's do a round at Harbor Freight. Let's look at the knives. So we went and looked at the knives. So now Wood's going to kill you. I think he's a nice guy, but it was a confusing experience. Oh, Wood's very, very nice. But again, you can't let him dictate
Starting point is 00:10:37 the activities because you'll end up walking around a harbor looking at knives. You'll do things that sound funny on paper until you're walking outside. And he wouldn't let me pay for my food. Really? Yeah, he wouldn't let me pay for it.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Because the whole thing, he's like, I'm an older comic. This is what I have to do to you. It was fucking weird, dude. Oh, you can't report him on saying corny stuff like that. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. All right, you're right.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Holy fuck, he literally told me not to say that i bet oh fuck he's probably like don't tell anyone i just said that oh my god he said he was an older guy you've been doing it longer than him significantly but he's older than me he's like he's 33 it's true shit this was a weird day you're right this was absolutely some like chicken hawk like this was weird. Yeah, Wood groomed you. He did. He groomed me. I'm fine with it, dude. He's a cool guy.
Starting point is 00:11:29 So you're out in LA. How long ago did you move there? Fuck, man. I moved there like what? Shit, the beginning of 2016? Like coming up on five years? Yeah. Now, I listen to Coward Hour.
Starting point is 00:11:39 It's one of the few podcasts I listen to. It's very funny. You in the barn. And you are homeless? No. You're still homeless? I was. Well, homeless... Now, I also would like this for the record because obviously the first comment you made about me getting mad about Louis Anderson hasn't left my mind.
Starting point is 00:11:54 For the record, wait till you hear this guy's fucking lifestyle and then let's see whose memory is more trustworthy. What? Are you talking about what? The drugs? Where do you want me to die? Homeless drug riddled fucking mania. I'm telling you,
Starting point is 00:12:10 I remember this. Okay, sure. And look how mad you're getting about me. Even just, I think that I've like, I'm telling you, look at that.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Not shaking at all. They're cool as a cucumber, baby. I guess it's true. I don't know. I can't even tell you how much I don't care. I was homeless before I started the podcast. Really?
Starting point is 00:12:26 Yeah, I was homeless for like six months because I just couldn't pay rent. And my friends were like, you got to go. And I was like, all right, I'm going. And then I just like bunkered down in my car. In L.A.? Yeah, in L.A. Barely home. What?
Starting point is 00:12:38 That's a field trip, bro. Do you think? Did you have an L.A. fitness membership? I had a Planet Fitness membership. So you had to shower? Did you shower? L.A. fitness membership? I had a Planet Fitness membership. Did you take a shower? Every day, and pizza on Mondays. That sounds exactly like a field trip. And you got warm weather.
Starting point is 00:12:56 You're just buzzing around. I guess the reality compared to my expectation of where I thought I'd be my second year, it was different. But I don't know, man. I mean, I think I dated more people than any other year there when I was homeless because I was trying to like grift my way into like, you know, rooms and beds. Yeah. I dated a girl for like two months like when I was homeless and like she had no idea I was homeless. What?
Starting point is 00:13:19 Yeah. I would just like show up like really sweaty from like just like sitting in my car all day waiting for like it to be Like five o'clock Just like knock on the door be like hey, I just got back from the gym. Can I shower? I just hit the planet. Yeah, that's actually exactly what my dad does He goes to the Y and Planet Fitness just to shower. Yeah, it's awesome. Yeah, that's borderline gay He does like shower with the fellas does he really just to shower. Yeah. It's awesome. Yeah. That's borderline gay. Yeah, I didn't want to say it. He does like showering with the fellas.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Does he really? I mean, you've got to miss it, man. He goes to the Y to shower. You've got to miss it, man. You get naked with your boys. I mean, that was like a fun thing they all did. They took it away from him. And it's like, you know. That's something I regret got lost on our generation.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Naked with the boys? Just getting naked with the boys. Post-basketball, like, all right, let's go get naked together. Just for no reason. Let's all get naked. Yeah, they made me do that in middle school. Like, did you guys have that in your school? We had it in high school, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:16 But, yeah. There was a guy who used to enforce, like, if you didn't take a shower, he would, like, make you get in there. Same guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Coach Hinkle. Yeah, holy fuck, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:24 It was weird. And then he didn't get but one of two of the coaches went to jail one for stealing and one for like possessing child pornography really yeah at my middle school on that yeah yeah dude they uh i wonder how prolific they are getting people with child porn what do you think the number of people with that get that get caught ah it seems like maybe less than half i feel like it's way more but it's like no i bet it's like they only catch like one percent really i mean dudes just hit me with the fact that stack it they said like 25 percent of people look at child porn i i could i could be misquoting him they're saying like of new jersey they checked out the the numbers on who was looking at child porn in new jersey alone and they're like dude that's like 25 of the population again maybe
Starting point is 00:15:09 misquoting but i it was something like staggeringly high and this is like this is like intentional like looking not like accidental porn hub upload yeah i i don't know that i that i can't say i can get hit with that and i can be on porn hub and be like this girl looks young as shit this is great yeah yeah like man i can't believe this fucking 18 year old looks 12. I could be on Pornhub and be like, this girl looks young as shit. This is great. Yeah. Man, I can't believe this fucking 18-year-old looks 12. That's why I don't fuck with New Biles porn. You don't fuck with New Biles? No, those are professionals, dude.
Starting point is 00:15:37 New Biles is very well done. I trust those men. They push the limits. There was one time I was like, okay, that's enough, man. I trust the people behind New Biles. You trust their scene selection? Like, yeah, you look 12. Get in here.
Starting point is 00:15:49 What? New Biles, they hit me with one person one time, but I just went, oh, no, no, no. Yeah, they'll hit you with some pigtails and braces every once in a while. Let's slow down with the child aspect of it. Yeah, that's all right. Although it is called New Biles. Like, it is. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Yeah. That's why I got off the train. I watched pornography this week. Did you really? And there was a guy, you ever see, like, when they do, like, any of the casting things where the guy's talking is just way, like, let me get a look at your pussy. Oh, wow, look at that. Yeah.

Can I worship that asshole? Yeah, it was just crazy. It was crazy. I had to stop because the audio of the porn. Oh, yeah. Well, I haven't watched porn with sound. I like watched porn with sound on for the first time like a couple months ago. I was like, holy fuck.

Yeah, they are. Headphones, you can hear headphones, bro. I'm not living that. Headphones are risky. Yeah, they are. You can never hear a knock. True.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Yeah. Watching porn with headphones on gives me like the same feelings I would get when I was like on too much acid and I couldn't tell how in touch with reality I was. Do you know what I'm saying? Like at any moment, somebody come like barging through your door. True. Right. You're just like, oh, sorry, dude.
Starting point is 00:17:04 I was my goon station. Yeah. Have you're just like, oh. Sorry, dude. I was in my goon station. Yeah, that's. Have you been caught by your roommates? While you were homeless, were you cranking them in the car? True. That's the millionth time. Where do homeless people jerk off? Dude, in their car.
Starting point is 00:17:16 It fucked me up for a minute because, like, you know, like, it's a sex crime if you get caught. And, like, the, like, no joke. Like, and also, like, cops, you're not supposed to sleep in your car in LA so like I'd had counters where like I would like be under the blankets and cops were like shining a flashlight on my car yeah but like yeah trying to like rub one out while there's like headlights coming and then like it's like those are some of the best you hang out with your girlfriend who doesn't know you're homeless oh man well you can't be over there like every night but those were some of like some of

And it was at night like my radio was fucked up. I didn't have cell phone service. So the only station I would get was like the religious channel down in Culver City. Nice.
Starting point is 00:18:39 And I got like way too into like. I was like. I got way too Christian when I was homeless. I was like. That'll do it. I was like up at 3 a.m. Listening to like Alistair Begg and like the Kingdom Man show. I was like i got way too christian when i was homeless i was like i'll do it up at 3 a.m listening to like alistair bag and like the kingdom man show i was like i gotta be a i was like i'm like this because i'm not a fucking kingdom man i need to be a kingdom man found god

Do you like God? I kind of like God, yeah. But I'm also like, I'm doing like potluck religion this year where I'm like, I'm into all of it. You don't like that one? I don't like that spirituality. That's
Starting point is 00:19:15 chick shit. You've got to be Catholic. Well, that's what I tell Barn Dog. Barn Dog needs to be trad cad. He's a hard, he's really into like being a Lutheran. Being like a wishy-washy Lutheran. Respectable. He's a hard, he's really into like being a Lutheran. Being like a wishy-washy Lutheran. Yeah. Being like a Protestant.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Yeah. What is it called? Like an Episcopalian? Protestants. Being like a devout Episcopalian. No, what's an Episcopalian? Protestant.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Yeah, they're like Protestants. They're just like. Basically every Christianity that's not Catholic is Protestant. Gotcha. Even Calvinists? I guess they are.
Starting point is 00:19:43 I don't know. I'm into Psyanetics right now. What's that? cyanetics is the study of how matter responds to sound so did you ever see like when they put those things up in like speakers?
Starting point is 00:19:54 yeah well they put like sand on a paper and they hit it with like 428 hertz or like you know god forbid 528 can't even imagine 528 that's a god frequency
Starting point is 00:20:03 so they take on different shapes when you do that. And what some people say is that our matter is a response to sound and we've arranged in a certain pattern. We're basically like the manifestation of sound in the universe. Pretty tight. This is stuff I get into. Is the universe silent? Go out of space, dude.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Yeah, I mean, you can't hear it. Doesn't mean there's no sound, bro. You know what I mean mean you can't hear it doesn't mean there's no sound bro you know what i mean we can't hear dog whistles well like yeah i can hear him i can absolutely i can always hear dog can anybody not hear dog whistle i don't think i can always hear it really low frequency really yeah What's it sound like? I don't know. It'd be very tough to... To do it? Yeah, it just sounds like a very low, like... No, it's high.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Yeah, but I mean, it's like quiet is what I'm trying to say, not a low frequency. Talking about the air coming through the dog whistle? Nope, nope. I promise you can hear dog whistles. You can hear the dog whistle. I mean, I'm part dog. I'm a little dog. Maybe they don't make them two cats like y'all.
Starting point is 00:21:07 True. But yeah, trad cath kind of rules. Well, I mean, that's what I like. The parts of Christianity I like are the Catholic parts. Just like the fucking buildings. That's the sickest part. True. Yeah, when you're homeless, you love those buildings.
Starting point is 00:21:21 True, yeah. You'll hang out in like archways and steps. You just lay there. Yeah, you you're homeless, you love those buildings. True, yeah. You'll hang out in like archways and steps and just lay there. Yeah, you can stay here. You're like, how fucking sweet these archways are that I'm sleeping in. Just jerking your dick off. They're like, come here, we have a room for that, please. Yeah, but anyway, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:38 How are your parents? Are they like shitty? Oh, they have no idea that that happened. Are they like nice, good people? Yeah, they're nice, good people. What are you doing being homeless? I'm not going to ask them for money. Hell yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:21:49 I mean, of course, but. So if they find you being homeless, do they just like call your parents and ship you home? Like, get the fuck out of here. No, they send you to jail. What do you mean? What would they do? Would they call your parents and be like, get out of here? We're going back home.
Starting point is 00:22:03 What do you mean, Matt? I was in there. The California police, they caught you being homeless, being like, get out of here. I'm going back home. What do you mean, Matt? I was a man. The California police, they caught you being homeless being like, do you have nice, honest parents? Oh, wait. You're going home. Probably. No more open mics. You have to go home.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Your desire to do open mics is a hindrance on the city at this point. Go home. We're shipping you home. Yeah. What did your parents think? They were just living? Oh, yeah. They thought I was doing great yeah I could get away
Starting point is 00:22:26 with being homeless I called them I mean they wouldn't know yeah no for sure I would call them my parents didn't see where I lived for like
Starting point is 00:22:32 7-8 years of my life they never saw one of my houses for sure that's a good way to keep it yeah that's how you want it yeah you know I don't want to make that
Starting point is 00:22:40 I told them I was like taking acting classes while I was like sweating with my shirt off in my car I was like yeah I signed up for UCB. Nice, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:49 And then now I know one of your money getting strategies from your podcast is just checking into hospitals and letting them do experiments on you. Yeah. Sure. I'm trying to think of a better way to put it, but that's pretty much what happens. You call it a hospital jail. Hospital jail dude Because there's Let me tell you something
Starting point is 00:23:07 There's a Tell the people Because I was listening to this like Holy shit dude Nick is fucked up So you get paid by like studies and stuff Yeah Like cream
Starting point is 00:23:16 Like skin creams and shit No I'm getting shots dude Dicks like shots and like pills like No they fucked up Well the first one I did It got me it got me it got me off the streets all right i'm very grateful to hospitals you know not only for the
Starting point is 00:23:28 warm you know vietnamese nurses nice that i that i definitely think of as my own family but also for like the regiment and that it provided my life no but when i was like it's like i made 10 grand um like donating my spinal fluid which i I wouldn't recommend. Yeah. Yeah. 10 grand. I was in there for a month and then like that got me back on my feet. So you,
Starting point is 00:23:49 you get, you get, they sold, you sold your spinal fluid. Well, they took it from me. That wasn't what they were doing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:57 You didn't bring it in. Yeah. Nuts. They, so I went in, I was testing like, like this, like a anti-schizophrenia medication.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Like they just wanted to see like, and it's like, I look at it this way. It's like how much like, how much like vague brown molly have I done in my life that like, I'm fine. So like there are doctors in charge of this. It's probably fine. Yeah. So. Was it just you and other homeless?
Starting point is 00:24:17 Nah, it's actually all walks of life. It's just really. Yeah. I think it's kind of a melting pot in hospitals. It's just like all businessmen. Yeah. No, it's kind of a melting pot in hospitals. It's just like all businessmen. No, it's a lot. It's a lot of guys who won't give up the PS4. A lot of certain types of guys who are too loud.
Starting point is 00:24:34 What am I doing, man? I don't know. I'm on Matt and Shane and I'm like, let's get spicy. No, this is great. All right, okay. But yeah, I was in there. Won't give up the PS4. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:24:45 Nothing. Never mind. You should explain it. won't give up the PS4 what are you talking about nothing never mind you should explain it I have a I have like a bunch of files on my phone of like loud black guys in hospital jail who just like were just like playing Xbox Live like in the middle of procedures what's hospital jail
Starting point is 00:25:00 hospital jail are medical studies dude follow me now you know how it feels, dude. I finally brought in another crazy person. You're like, wait, what are you talking about? I didn't know there was an Xbox. I'm saying, like, where's the Xbox? Yeah, there's fucking Xboxes and stuff.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Oh, they keep you. Yeah, they keep Xboxes there. Oh, I thought you'd just roll in and get the cream and leave. I could easily hospital jail. No, no. Xbox for a month? Well, you'd have a tough time getting it away from some of the guys. But, yeah, if you could fight them.
Starting point is 00:25:27 A bunch of dudes without spinal fluid. It's kind of like the phones in prison. The Xbox is like the phones in prison. You've got to be tough to command the phone. Yeah, that's exactly right. Damn. So you just get big brothered. You've got to be like, can I play next?
Starting point is 00:25:42 The doctor said I could play next. And just hand you a fake controller. Wait, did you form up with anyone else from like your race that would have been sick but no no i'm a lone wolf every time nah but so what they did what really sucked is they bought so to measure the effect of i don't know what the fuck they were doing but they were doing something i give i promise you they were doing something to me. And they would take this anti-schizophrenia medication, which made me kind of schizophrenic.
Starting point is 00:26:09 I had some weird hallucinations. Really? And then they were like measuring it in our spinal fluid, which was like, so like I would get a lumbar puncture, which is like what pregnant ladies get to like administer the epidural. Dude.
Starting point is 00:26:23 And the first one went fine and then they did another one at the end and that one fucked up so they just like left a hole like in my spine that like so like your your spinal fluid circulates it's what keeps your brain from hitting your skull and when that happens it really fucking hurts it hurts a lot and so uh all my spinal fluid was like leaking out of my skull and just like into my like i don't know my legs into my, like, I don't know, my legs and my ass, I guess. I don't know. Nice.
Starting point is 00:26:46 And they couldn't get the hole patched up. So, like, for, yeah, for a week after I was at a hospital, like, the first episode we recorded at Coward Hour, I was laying in Barn Dog's bed. Ooh, I didn't even think about this. Yeah, we'll get to it. Sorry, go ahead. And we didn't release it. But, yeah, like, for, like, a week and a half, I just, like, couldn't. If I stood up, my brain would hit my skull.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Yeah, it really sucked, dude. So you got like a bunch of concussions. That's just a concussion. Is that a concussion? A concussion is just your brain hitting your skull. If I have CTE, that explains so much. Yeah, for real. They also probably wanted to see what happens if someone had no spinal fluid.
Starting point is 00:27:20 You probably were part of a deeper study. Like, oh, yeah, it's anti-schizophrenic. They probably gave you some like weird stimulant and then took all your spinal fluid and we're like we'll see what happens i guess that's probably you seem all right yeah i feel fine you seem sharp i think i'm better than i was when i met you i think whatever like what like you know what i mean boy i'd say so humbled you out a little i did. You got a little humbled out, which is nice. Definitely been humbled by my time out west. Which I'm also aware of.
Starting point is 00:27:49 I think it's going up now, though. You think so? Yeah, I think things are looking up. I hope so, man. I don't know. I live in the day. I can't get too excited about anything anymore. That's how you got to do it, man.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Telling you. Loving that, dude. He was like, oh, I can't wait to meet Matt. I was like, you guys are going to be fine. You guys are going to get along. This is a good boy. This is a good origin story, dude. He was like, oh, I can't wait to meet Matt. I was like, you guys are going to be fine. You guys are going to get along. This is a good boy. This is a good origin story, dude. It's a sick origin story.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Whole. Yeah, he's got spinal fluid leaking. Did they patch up your spine? Yeah, I think it's fine now. I'm sitting here talking to you, right? This is true. Yeah, but how long ago did this take place? Like two years, three years?
Starting point is 00:28:19 Two years ago. Oh, yeah, you're good. You could be really fucked up. Like this could take a little. And you're young yeah how old are you i'm 27 yeah you could yeah you're in trouble yeah how many other what other things did you do in hospital because i know you went how many times would you have i like to go how often have you gone i mean i go whenever i want to make a little like whenever i want to make like
Starting point is 00:28:40 five grand in like a week i just sign up how long do you chill there for like a week at the most the first one was like a month but like you know you go for a week hang out i know i do i know all the nurses there we're like friends i'm like friends with the doctors how many like what and a lot of times it's just pills that they're testing a lot of times just pills sometimes the pills like get you high it's kind of nice nice yeah do you ever think about wearing scrubs just like showing up scrubs Showing up in scrubs. Yeah. You can legally wear them there. I would kind of. It's weird.
Starting point is 00:29:08 You do get like weird Stockholm syndrome where I'm like, I would like a job here. Like it would like. I don't know if that's ever happened or if it's even allowed to happen, but I would love to work there. Just make the transfer? Yeah. Just be a career changer? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:22 You go to medical school, I'm like, I'm just career changing from uh getting studied being a guinea pig that's awesome yeah so you can go make a couple g's yeah just like that when money's tight it's and it's nice because like i don't have to fucking i'm good with money now i'm way better than i was um and i don't have to like get a job that i fucking hate i just like sit on money yeah so it's nice get studied up my friend used to go um he was addicted to heroin but he would go get like he would go get skin creams and like just fucking break out everywhere really and just come back yeah he'd be like oh they just rubbed the shit on me today you have to go he only got like a couple hundred bucks he wasn't really getting paid yeah that's what i'm saying if you're not spending the night i always spend the night at hospital jail if you're not spending the night you're getting
Starting point is 00:30:04 you're getting chump change. So you can't get hold of the Xbox. That's kind of bothering me. I want to see you go in there and command the Xbox. You got to wake up early. And get to the Xbox? No, I don't want to go there.
Starting point is 00:30:13 You got to early bird that. They've only got like, I don't play like NBA or any of those games. They don't have any games I want to play. They don't have white dork games? No.
Starting point is 00:30:21 You got to get a Final Fantasy in there. You got to sneak one in. That would be insane for me to just start like a 70 hour RPG that's what Barn Dog tried to do did he ever tell you that when we commandeered his Playstation that was scarring
Starting point is 00:30:35 I didn't even realize how scarring that was it would be so hard to play an RPG with a bunch of like bluetooth conversations going on like oh my god he's in here playing his fucking Zelda bro he's in here playing his fucking Zelda, bro. Oh, you would get destroyed.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Bro, he's in here playing his fucking Zelda, his gay-ass Zelda shit. You're like, hey, stop. I'm playing. Hey, guys. You know? Oh, bro. Bro, I'm trying to play it live. He's playing his motherfucking Zelda, bro.
Starting point is 00:30:59 The dude's like, if all you had that smile on, the dude's like just collapsed like marionettes like occasionally. Yeah, yeah. He's like standing there like, you motherfucker. Yeah, that has happened a couple times. Really? Yeah. They just have side effects where they just like go down.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Fuck. But never me, dude. True. Never me. Well, you had an extensive, you were doing some drugs before this. Yeah, yeah. Before hospital jail, you were inexperienced. I call it, it's like weight training for your brain.
Starting point is 00:31:23 You know what I mean? Like just like taking like five taps and being like, all right, parents are home. Let's see if I can sweat this out. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, dude. How'd that go? I would crumble, dude. Never, I never got caught.
Starting point is 00:31:33 They never knew. Really? Yeah. What would you talk to them? I wonder how many times. First off, I guarantee your parents were like, he's homeless. Like two days in, they were like, Nick's very homeless. And every time you were high on
Starting point is 00:31:46 acid they're like he's high off his ass be there with like your shirt off just like hello mom and dad what's your go-to convo starter with your parents when you're on acid hi hey no i would just chill downstairs i would rarely see them or i would just say Hey. Hey. No, I would just chill downstairs. I would rarely see them. Or I would just say, or I would just hit them with that. Hey. Hey.
Starting point is 00:32:12 I would just walk by. Yeah. Yeah, I think I would do exactly how I started this episode. You're right. Fuck yeah. I've been high in front of my parents, and it's – I'm bad at being high regardless. Right. Yeah. It's never even – I can never never it's terrible but it's so
Starting point is 00:32:26 weed is so gay to my family that nobody even expects it really no nobody suspects being high on pot yeah it's crazy pot's the one that i can't do like when i like i can like i can do acid and talk to people but if i smoke pot i'm like i'm done i have to go i'm gonna go to sleep or like hide from people i don't know why that is not these three these boys look at these two fucking space cadets over there do you guys show off your sick uniforms yet yeah have you flipped the camera to show your sweet flip the camera show the boys show them your discipline dude you guys have to wear those every single we're gonna check in with you you have to wear those whoever can keep it on longer over the next few days wins two hundred dollars true we should do readiness
Starting point is 00:33:10 checks i promise and i will randomly facetime and if you don't answer you lose and when i facetime you have to have it on you're doing readiness checks like next year like ready you have 30 seconds yes master and whoever whoever, whoever keeps it on the longest. I'm talking showers. You have pockets for clips if you guys want to start bringing ammo with you. If you guys do need. If you guys want to start bringing ammo with you. And also, please tighten those straps.
Starting point is 00:33:37 We can't have loose straps. Straps get kind of loose. You can't really tighten them all the way. I'll try. Do your best. Bad start. That's the gift of discipline, dude. Yes.
Starting point is 00:33:46 The gift. That's why I bought those shirts. That's why I bought those shirts, dude. You're always, every time you think it, you're just slipping a little bit. Always tighten up, dude. So, Nick, you're on acid. You're hanging out with your parents. No, not really, though.
Starting point is 00:33:57 So you would be in the, still, being in the house. Yeah, I lived at home, and I was like, I'm not going to stop doing acid. I have to keep combining molly and acid in my parents' basement. For sure. Fuck, that sounds pretty funny. What kind of stuff would you do when you're in the basement on acid with the parents orbiting above you? Watch horror movies and shit. What?
Starting point is 00:34:17 Yeah, I literally was in the mindset of, I'm going to traumatize myself as much as possible to try to make my brain stronger. Hell yeah, dude. Yeah. Obviously hell yeah dude yeah obviously paid off but it did because like went like i swear to god like the anxiety management that i learned just being like okay i'm gonna be high for another 15 hours i'm just gonna count the hours down like and if i feel like i'm gonna freak out i'm just gonna like push those thoughts out that got me through like six months of being homeless just like tunnel vision everything's fine dude i'm telling you i never i'll never forget i think i was in the movie seeing jumanji 2 and i was super fucking i was so high i went to the bathroom i'm like i'm like bugging out i was on i was just on a weed edible but still i'm like
Starting point is 00:34:56 bugging out and i remember just being like oh no i'm fine it was like huh and just like that it was yeah i was fine and i was like can i be fine i was like no i think And just like that, I was fine. And I was like, can I be fine? I was like, yeah, I think you can be fine. There's no chance I could be high in Jumanji 2. Dude. I'd be like, we're all retarded. This world is terrible. I saw Jumanji 1. Did you really?
Starting point is 00:35:17 The Kevin Hart one. How was that? Terrible, dude. You saw Jumanji. I saw Jumanji 1. I saw Jumanji in the movies, I think. I saw Jumanji in the movies in Boston when I called you and had a panic attack. First off, I didn't know coffee gave you anxiety at this point. So I had a whole day to kill in Boston, and I had like five bucks total.
Starting point is 00:35:36 So I just sat in a Panera and pretended to be writing. I was playing like SimCity on like a website for 12 hours and just chugging ice coffee. You're sitting there with like sciatica pain. Yeah, just crushing ice coffee. And then I was like, oh, I'll kill some time. I'll go see Jumanji. And got in and watched. And me and four other dudes
Starting point is 00:35:56 saw like an afternoon matinee of Jumanji. These were all adults. They just got released from hospital jail. Absolutely. Yeah, that would kill me. And I was watching it just like, this is the worst shit I've ever seen in my life. And then I had to go to a show, and I bombed and called Matt after. I was like, I think I quit this shit.
Starting point is 00:36:16 I fucking hate this. It was one of those where you bomb in another city. Yeah. I've had this exact day. Yeah. Just a hard coffee sesh. I had no idea. Just Jumanji and then a bomb.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Just Jumanji and then a hard bomb in like a Boston open mic. Oh, man, dude. Oh. Dude, that's brain training for sure. That was brain training. Yeah. So what was like the deepest moment of bugging out, like watching horror movies on acid? Well, I mean, I literally thought i was uh dying like a couple times and like you know if
Starting point is 00:36:48 you think like if you genuinely believe you're dying it was like a death trip like you know i'm sure that you know about death trips i'm sure that you know when you're about to like yeah you feel like you're about to die the one time i had something like that was on like a quarter ounce of mushrooms and i couldn't tell the difference between night or day and i just got under the blankets and it was just i remember vaguely like seeing jesus and being like oh sweet yeah and you're like nice i remember i'd taken i don't know if it was pure acid i think it was a research chemical but i had taken so much that like i couldn't keep water down so like every time so i'm like i'm literally just downstairs like discreetly throwing up just like drinking like immediately and every time i would throw up like the if the fibers in
Starting point is 00:37:26 the carpet downstairs like would like sprout up into these weird little like i don't know like pyramids that were like growing on top of each other just like bug out every time i like heaved and uh then i wound up like i just like laid down sorry is this too much no absolutely fantastic all right so i laid down on the couch and I like, I was like, I can't keep water down. I'm dehydrated. My body's like trying to like, I'm trying to like throw up my own innards. So I think I'm probably dying. And then I like panicked.
Starting point is 00:37:53 And then I like got on Reddit. It was like, what do I do if I'm dying? Somebody immediately was like, faggot. This is worse. Faggot just turned into a pyramid right yeah so then i had like a premonition of like everybody i knew like finding my body and like realizing that i died because i had too many drugs oh i had this i had this on fucking synthetic weed oh i told you about that yeah yeah oh i wrote i wrote a fucking i wrote a note in my phone to my family yes like because
Starting point is 00:38:23 i couldn't go to the hospital because that's gay. Right. So I wrote like a goodbye mom and dad note and then put it by my bed and ate a bag of Laffy Taffys. It just curled up just like. That was you taking all the pills at once. Yeah, fuck it, dude. I'm not going. That was my last meal.
Starting point is 00:38:40 You just read all the jokes as you faded off. I was like. That was not bad so so i did exactly that like made peace with the fact that i was going to die and then just like shut my eyes and was like waiting to die and then i woke up the next morning like fuck yeah god damn it yeah it's a real embarrassing wake up i mean super embarrassed at least you didn't write the note i wrote the note and no no i wrote the note oh really i wrote i wrote a note in my phone like i'm so sorry this was so stupid yeah i woke up and sorry i didn't come get you guys yeah right i didn't tell anybody i do love you yeah waking up waking up and having to delete that is just this was before select all
Starting point is 00:39:21 so you just had to sit there like, fuck. Dude, I wish I had died, because I feel like if I did die, at least my family would be like, at least he died with honor. He didn't bitch out and try to get us. Yeah, he didn't go to the hospital. They test you like it was 2CB, though. God damn it. Good boy. Yeah, I would have died of synthetic marijuana.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Bought it like a head shop in Mechanicsburg. Yeah, there's those kids who do salvia and jump off a cliff. It sucks. We used to watch... They got taken off YouTube, but I used to have this whole playlist of people on K2 just taking their pants off in the dollar store. So fucking funny, dude. People just smoking that
Starting point is 00:40:02 and then trying to fuck the bus driver. What was your hallucination? I remember it vividly. It was my middle school bathroom was just like in the corner of the room. I don't know why I could just like see a memory. Well, it's very weird. I could just and I'd never even thought about what that bathroom looked like, but I like saw it like perfectly exactly how it looked from St. Joe's. St. Joe's Elementary School. Damn, dude. You know you can buy Delta 8 THC online?
Starting point is 00:40:32 It's like legal. I don't even know what that is. Delta 9, like stuff and weeds, Delta 9, Tetra, whatever. Sure. Delta 8 is just like when they tweak it a little bit, but you can buy like THC. You know I go out and repeat some of these things to people? Delta 8, Tetrahydrocannibal. Yeah, I you can buy like THC. You know, I go out and repeat some of these things to people.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Delta eight, tetrahydrocannabinol. Yeah, I'll be talking to people. What's that, delta eight? What the fuck are you talking about? Some guy I know keeps saying words. I think there was somebody who was slanging some delta eight. Yeah, dude. Does it still work? It's like very vague, like a kind of a body relaxation.
Starting point is 00:41:02 So people, I know someone who was eating like, dude, I'm eating like 150 milligram edible and i was like i don't think i know you and i don't think you i think you you know that might knock your socks off a little bit and then i did a little digging and uh turns out i solved the problem was delta eight found out someone's out here slaying in delta i had some delta nine this past week yeah delta nine i had delta nine delta nine is that regular is that regular weed yeah so soda gave me a weed edible and i split it me and tommy split one and i still got sent to the fucking movie how many how many it was only 25 milligrams damn so i had like 10 milligrams of weed and i was like oh but we watched so i just i just got us a sound bar for our biggest we have a huge tv and a nice sound bar and i was like let's watch uh

Starting point is 00:45:34 Yeah. Dare I say, appropriated. He commandeered your show. It was kind of my idea, too. I guess I'm registered. I tricked Crick into moving to Los Angeles. Yeah, I tricked him into Philly. Right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:46 That's funny. That's what you have to do with that guy. You have to trap him. Yeah, because I literally, I would listen to Coward Hour while I was living in my car in L.A. And I was like, this is funny. Damn, you got heisted by a homeless dude. You were a homeless dude in L.A. that was like, this is my favorite podcast. I should just bring this out here and replace La Mer.
Starting point is 00:46:05 So wait, you guys had a, was Coward Hour originally a podcast? It was just a show first, and then we turned it into a podcast. And then he went out west and took the podcast with him. He went out California way. He went out California way, yeah. And he struck gold with this homeless. Yeah, he struck gold with the homeless bear. And he left you behind.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Now you're just a lowly minion. Yeah, now I'm just a producer. Well, you should have been like they could only – you should have took half the title. You should have took the royalties. No, they should only be able to call it The Coward. Right. Oh, that's kind of artsy. I like that.
Starting point is 00:46:39 You get the hour and they get The Coward podcast. How do you feel about it? Are you better off without them? Or was that your one shot in showbiz i don't i don't think i wouldn't say better off without them but like i'm doing all right like i'm okay sure you got lena duncum's you got a bunch of duncum's you should if i were you i'd work my fucking ass off to buy the rights of coward hour or just take just start a new one. Start one with no one. Just call it Coward Hour. And always wear those shirts.
Starting point is 00:47:08 And you have to wear those shirts and never explain it. I liked LeMaire's character. I thought LeMaire was awesome on the original Coward Hour. I liked it. But I just thought it could maybe... You could improve it. Yeah, I thought it'd be better if... I thought he needed a little direction.
Starting point is 00:47:23 See why he's like a very take-out-sidable guy? Stuff like this? Does it make you just want to beat him violently? All right, maybe I didn't fucking tell you because I want to fight you now for that. Just so mocked. I mean, did you envision all this when you were in the carpet? Just thrown up in the carpet?
Starting point is 00:47:41 Like, I will take this fucking fight. Yes! I manifested, dude. I literally. Oh, man. Somebody told me I was a master manifester this week. You are. You're really.

Starting point is 00:48:26 like manifestation this is where i'm like i don't know man i feel like as much as i hate like gay like california woo woo stuff i also love it i'm also like all about it hell yeah dude matt gets into gay california stuff way into it yeah you gotta separate the wheat from the shaft though there's a lot of it that kind of goes nowhere definitely but yeah i'm deep into taoism right now taoism yeah tight just the way things are it's just the dow you can either fight it or go against it right now guy to cool he was saying like you're kind of like i want to do this thing and you're always on a straight line and then out of nowhere you're just like you get pulled over this way so people it's like you just kind of go further into that and then that kind of takes you back to where you're trying to go. No, that's the path for real.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Sorry, I don't want to have like a sincere conversation. You're more than welcome. Oh, hell yeah. You're welcome sincere conversation here, please. Yeah, dude, we'll just switch to, dude, I've been listening to fucking, whatchamacallit, the NPR shit you gave me. It's crazy, right? It's crazy it's scary how we'll get back to the dow but it's scary how much it is enticing to just like give in and be like yeah what do we just turn that shit on and be like and we're here with
Starting point is 00:49:33 the with the vaccine and we're loading it up and oh wow it's there's like coal like frost coming off it like the movies yeah dude it's a fucking vaccine yeah yeah man it isn't contagion they it's funny i was with mullen yesterday we were talking about npr about how we were walking down the street just first off me and mullen walking around new york is the weirdest crew possible me and him walking around it's the weirdest crew ever that's so funny well it's so funny, to think of someone who's listening to comedy podcasts, seeing that, and being like... It's them. It's the two biggest retards in the industry. And I walked past a...
Starting point is 00:50:14 I guess Cardi B has a new show on something. And I was just like... I don't know. We were having a conversation about morality morality, morality being injected into comedy, like all this stuff. And it's like, and then they just totally omit like Cardi B. Like,
Starting point is 00:50:32 this is a good, this is morality of like, it's like, well, you could just be a dumb whore. Yeah. Like kids, look at this.
Starting point is 00:50:37 You can be a boss, bitch whore. Yeah. No disrespect to Cardi B dude. But then he was like, yeah. NPR was like, and the song of the year goes to Cardi B, dude. But then he was like, yeah, NPR was like, and the song of the year goes to Cardi B with WAP.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Wet Ass Downstairs. You know what I mean? This is NPR. Like, NPR named WAP the song of the year. It's like, aren't you guys supposed to be like intellectual news? Yeah. The song of the year is Wet Pussy. And there's like, you know, that's literally all the song's about. Yeah. The song of the year is Wet Pussy. And there's like, you know, that's literally all the song's about.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Yeah. Almost every other line is about having an extremely wet, and a wetter vagina than the countertops. I was thinking Macarena was song. Macarena? Yeah. Song of the fucking. That was a fun dance.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Might have been song of the decade. Yeah, dude. In the 90s. Hell yeah. And I have no idea. That could have been Wet Pussies. That could be Spanish for wet ass pussy. Macarena?
Starting point is 00:51:25 Yeah. If you go back to the dance, yeah, it's leading down to your whop, dude. That's your... I don't know where I was going with that. But no, it is funny.
Starting point is 00:51:34 It's just funny to see a TV show that was like, hey, look at this fucking dumb whore. We're going to film her doing things. That's fun. Is it like a scripted show
Starting point is 00:51:42 or is it like reality? I don't know. It looks like it's reality. It looks like it's just going to be filming Cardi B do things, which occasionally is just like borderline racist when they do stuff like that. Like they used to film Marshawn Lynch. He had a show and it was just him. The point of the show was watching a black guy go to like Scotland and be like,
Starting point is 00:51:57 man, y'all motherfuckers crazy. That was the point of the show. Sounds like a sick show. Great show. Fucking rules. Marshawn Lynch rules. But, yeah. Yeah, I mean dude the uh i was thinking about that last night before i went to bed actually i was thinking about the people who got into like like you were saying kind of injecting morality
Starting point is 00:52:15 in a comedy and so you had like the least funny people started all of a sudden policing comedy and then trying to get people who actually made people laugh like you know who did the thing that they said they like to do who did it and actually make people laugh they're like they should stop doing that we should we should just all yeah stop laughing authentically it's like it's fucking that's sick and twisted dude you talk about being a nasty little motherfucker dude and you're like here's this thing i love to do and i'm watching people do it successfully let me crumble this entire thing right it's like, Jesus, man. I respect that, actually. Those are some master manifestos.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Just sitting there just like, I want this. If I can't have it, no one. Yeah, dude. Just to put a freeze on people just getting... Like the average Joe who's out there working,
Starting point is 00:52:57 coming out, wants to have a good fucking laugh and someone's like, no. Yeah. Watch my stuff. You guys shouldn't all be laughing. And adopt my ethics that I'm putting on so I can become famous.
Starting point is 00:53:08 It's like, Jesus Christ. What a world. Disgusting, dude. Do you guys run into a lot of wops out in LA? What do you mean? Soft fucking dorks in comedy. Yeah. Some fucking wops.
Starting point is 00:53:18 Some ass pussies. That's all there is, dude. Yeah. That's all there is. I would imagine. I mean, no, there's people who are funny. I shouldn't say that. There are people like-minded out there, but it's just not what's- There's, dude. Yeah. That's all there is. I would imagine. I mean, no, there's people who are funny. I shouldn't say that. There are people like-minded out there, but it's just not what's...
Starting point is 00:53:28 There's like-minded individuals. Yeah. It's not... For some reason, that's been just totally adopted into just white supremacy. Has it not? Yeah. You can't be like, there's like-minded individuals. It's just always a militia.
Starting point is 00:53:42 It's just... Yeah. It shouldn't be. No, there's definitely... There's definitely... Also, there's sex, yeah, it shouldn't be. No, there's definitely, there's definitely, also there's sects. I'll definitely say there's sects.
Starting point is 00:53:48 Sects. Yeah, that's better, right? Yeah. Of people out there who are funny, but it's just, I mean,
Starting point is 00:53:53 it wasn't. Listen to that one you had, there was a Mexican kid on there. Oh, we, I can't even, he rules. We can't say his name,
Starting point is 00:53:59 because he's teaching over in Spain right now. Oh, I remember listening to that. I was like, I did that. I listened to that episode. He's the fucking man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's awesome. You can say his name, he's not going to get fired from Spain. now. Oh, I remember listening to that. I was like, I did that. I listened to that episode. He's the fucking man. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:05 He's awesome. You can say his name. He's not going to get fired from Spain. Dude, Spain, they don't know one thing that's going on. If we couldn't say it on our podcast, we can't say it on this one, dude. He said don't say my name. He asked us not to say his name because he could get fired from it. Well, there's an episode with a Mexican kid.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Go listen to it as well. Yeah, it's... But I promise you know it. Dude, I lived in Spain and it took me like a month to get to my school because I was stuck in a hostel because no one at the school could speak English. So I'd call in and be like, hey, it's me. I'm the guy who's supposed to work here. And they'd be like, who the fuck is this?
Starting point is 00:54:37 We keep getting prank calls by some guy speaking. They probably thought I was a retarded guy because I'd be like, me llamo Shane. Hola. Estoy aqui para profesor. Entiende? I'd just be like, shut the fuck up. You were just stuck in a hostel?
Starting point is 00:54:54 I was in a hostel. Yeah. I didn't even like hear from the school. I just was stuck there. They're probably listening to like Opie and Anthony the whole time. Yeah. I promise you not one person in Spain is going to get wind of any of these podcasts no he well he tells him about i know he's a mexican dude in spain yeah so he's
Starting point is 00:55:12 speaking the language like yeah but does he know the proper form of spain spanish you better start speaking that yeah like vosotros i have no idea i'm not a colonizer i don't i don't enforce that kind of stuff because yeah i'm saying if he's going to Spain, he better be respectful of the proper way to speak the Spanish tongue, dude. I think he is. But, yeah. He's like, I think. But what was I saying? So you had a Mexican dude.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Yeah, it was before that. I was just saying the Mexican guy was great. Yeah, he's funny as shit. He rules. Oh, we were talking about pussies in L.A. Yeah, it was before that. I was just saying the Mexican guy was great. Yeah, he's funny as shit. He rules. Oh, we were talking about pussies in LA. Oh, yeah. I was like, the guys I've heard with you, what's his name? Hirsch?
Starting point is 00:55:52 Yeah, Isaac. Isaac's funny as shit. Yeah. He's hilarious. He started back in Baltimore, too. He's got a good squad. Yeah, yeah. He's got a good squad out there.
Starting point is 00:55:57 None of us do stand-up anymore. We've all moved to doing other stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Which is, I mean, I don't even really miss it that much. That happens to most like-minded sects yeah we break off technically i mean after a while everybody quits i'm the only one in our group that still does stand up yeah for a while i'll just yeah true for a while yeah you start to podcast everybody else is just like this is kind of
Starting point is 00:56:18 nice we've only done we did two live podcasts uh at surprisingly woke, kind of like gay, alt-y rooms and did well. And I was like, this is so much more fun than stand-up, dude. I feel very like – I don't know if I go back to it, that's fine, but I don't think I will. Yeah. You weren't good enough to pursue it, which is why I hated your attitude when I met you. Arrogance with zero talent bothers me more than almost anything.
Starting point is 00:56:45 I completely agree. No, you're good. So you're in Baltimore. You're very funny. And you started at a young age. Was this before you struck out West when you met Shane and you were in Baltimore?
Starting point is 00:56:53 Yeah, he was king of the open mics in Baltimore. Oh, that's flattering, dude. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. Yeah, I met Shane and then I did... We did Magoobies
Starting point is 00:57:02 and then we did a couple shows together. You put me on a show with O'Connor right before I left. Yeah. That was a fun show. Yeah, once met Shane, and then we did Magoobies, and then we did a couple shows together. You put me on a show with O'Connor right before I left. Yeah. It was a fun show. Yeah, once we met. He's one of those guys you don't like him at first. A couple master manifestos.
Starting point is 00:57:13 You guys are swirling reality around yourselves. You're like, fuck over here. Yes. Nobody likes me when they meet me. Really? People probably won't like this episode. No, they will. If they get past the first couple minutes.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Yes, they will. they get past the first couple minutes yes they will look i know that's all the whole thing with everything is like i know i know that i know that uh i know that i'm prickly i would say every dude i wouldn't say prickly i mean dastardly maybe yeah but brendan does think that i'm like a sociopath. I think you and Brandon together is a wild crew. That is a wild crew. Because Barndog's up to no good himself, dude. I agree. Yeah, he's the most evil. Yeah, definitely.
Starting point is 00:57:54 But he'll never, dude, Barndog, man, he loves to insist that he's like pure of heart, but like there's so- He's not at all. He's going to hear this, dude. But it- Fuck him. LeMaire hates his guts. Really?
Starting point is 00:58:06 Wow, how freely can we talk about Barn Dog right now? We could trash the barn. No. No, Barn Dog's awesome. I hope he gets – his screws need to be a little tightened. But he's overall a good guy. You think he needs some brain training himself? You need to take him to the basement, dude.
Starting point is 00:58:21 He won't do it. I've been telling him, like, Brendan, you've got to let me give you mushrooms. You have to let me, dude. He won't do it. I've been telling him, like, Brendan, you gotta let me give you mushrooms. You have to let me, like... He won't do mushrooms? No, he's really worried that it's gonna, like, mess his mind up. Which, like, I get. Definitely get.
Starting point is 00:58:31 I've seen him on some of his tears. I know a dude who did a ton of mushrooms at a festival and then, like... Ah, fuck, man. He hit me up, like, two months later and was like, hey, do you have any of your old history textbooks? Whoa! Trying to get his life back? i'm trying to go back through the ages and i was like oh fuck oh no you shouldn't have had them yeah he like he's trying to go back to the ages he's like i'm buying all he sent me a long
Starting point is 00:58:56 facebook message he's like i'm going back and buying old history textbooks so i want to like go back and actually learn it this time i was was like, oh, fuck. He did mushrooms at a festival and then like left us and then started picking up trash. He started like a cleanup crew. And actually people started like following him. Other people who were tripping were like, oh, shit. We have an assignment. He started picking up trash and then like did it. It was kind of fucked up because the guy he was with, he's a master.
Starting point is 00:59:23 He didn't want to talk dastardly. He's a motherfucker. And he was just like fucking up because the guy he was with, he's a master. He didn't want to talk dastardly. He's a motherfucker. And he was just, like, fucking with him the entire time. And I think he realized that, like, someone he thought he was his friend was actually, like, just a deep negative force in his life. Yeah. And he was like, I got to pick up the trash. And so I think, like, he had, like, this horrible awakening. And, like, just around thousands of people.
Starting point is 00:59:41 Yeah. That's my reading. You know, I was just sitting there. That's why I never tripped at, like, festivals. I didn't do them i was there i was like i'm not i'm not eating those fucking things here i have no yeah i have no desire to sit around a thousand strangers and trip way too uncontrolled no when i ate mushrooms the last time i had them like a decent size amount i was at a meat puppet show that's sick meat puppets fucking rule yeah dude the band uh they nirvana covered their songs lake of fire on me and i think a couple other ones and uh dude i went down and it was like
Starting point is 01:00:09 i was i was just in a room of like maybe 60 people and like i would look at guy like dude's faces all looked like sinister elves to me where i'd be like oh fuck and then women look like beautiful angels dude so i would just i was just around elves and angels just like wow oh fuck and then i sat at my table and then the i think their nephew i think i talked about this before their nephew opened and their nephew's band fucking sucked everyone was like you guys fucking suck and was like trashing them and i was just sitting there like oh and the pups be nice to them yeah i mean they did suck i was just like oh fuck and then the puppets came on and i they had relieved they
Starting point is 01:00:42 had relieved me of such a burden that i was yelling, trying to give them my house at the time. I was like, oh, you guys didn't have my house in West Philly. They were just playing, like, shut the fuck up, dude. I was like, I'm going to give you guys the deed. Oh, yeah, that was the first time I kind of took mushrooms. I saw Cypress Hill. Oh, shit. And I was just like, Cypress Hill rules.
Starting point is 01:01:05 Dude, I couldn't believe how good Cypress Hill was. Yeah, dude. That held up. I was into Cypress Hill for like a week. They do rule. You were correct. They do rule. I didn't know they ruled.
Starting point is 01:01:14 Oh, yeah. I just kept seeing the guy looked like Louis. Be real. Be real. He looked exactly like Louis C.K. And I was like, yo, this is where Louis has been hiding. He was just like playing the drums in the background of Cypress Hill like insane.
Starting point is 01:01:30 Dude, if Louis C.K. was B-Real, that would be crazy. He'd be king, dude. Even more of a king. For sure. Free Louis. Join lives. You hear that, LA? Free Louis. Oh, 100%. Big time. Louis C.K. and B-Real should just conjoin lives and become one entity.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Yeah. That'd be strong. B-Real is the fucking man. Did you ever watch B-Real's little video podcast where he smokes weed in a car? I think it's, well, I think Mike Tyson has hot boxing, but it's essentially that. Mike Tyson has a podcast called Hot Boxing. A podcast called Hot Boxing where he gets high in a car? No, Mike.
Starting point is 01:02:01 No, no. He does it in a studio. B-Real gets stoned in a car. That's awesome. Yeah, don't mistake me. That squad was, Cypress Hill was just walking around on stage smoking every joint that was handed to them
Starting point is 01:02:12 they would smoke. At one point, what's the black guy's name? Totally have no idea. I know you're talking about him. Yeah, he brought out like, they brought out his old hat that says Hill on it or Cypress or whatever.

Starting point is 01:06:59 a good drunk hookup it's fun and he's like well nick i don't do that because i'm not a rapist and then he fucking descended the stairs like he just like he said that he just floated up the steps and then i just and then i i said like for 20 hours i was like am i a fuck am i a rapist like i was like legally yes but not if you're both drunk not if you're really in the eyes of law it's it's a bullshit law but yeah it's bullshit if both people are drunk yeah yeah that's crazy if both people are drunk yeah you if if the girl comes up and she's like oh shit i didn't remember you could be like i don't remember that either but i think if you call first yeah you gotta call dibs you just gotta you're like raped it's where it touches bass first it's like musical chairs i think you guys have to wake
Starting point is 01:07:45 up and get a wiffle ball bat and do one of those i got okay i'll send you the papers yeah yeah no it's uh yeah for some reason i think that's how it goes if you both black out and the girl's like he raped me i think you're just done yeah you're fucked yeah man but the best part the best part of the energy vampiring is occasionally people snap out of it and be like, Shane, you motherfucker. Occasionally someone will be like, this is like,
Starting point is 01:08:10 O'Connor's usually the first to get there. Be like, he's turning you against me. Well, you do. Do you ever see the vampire shows and they stare you in the eye and they persuade your people to expand? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:19 You're just Tommy O'Connor said, and he's just, well, you were being loud in my backswing. Shut the fuck up. No, I wasn't. Great. So fun.
Starting point is 01:08:32 Yeah, man. I feel like you have that relationship with Crick where he'll occasionally try to puff his chest to you after you try to... Because I love messing with him, because his brain is really malleable. You can send him in directions. He'll stand up to me, which usually makes it worse because it's usually – no, I look – Crick's the best. We all – He is the – I love Ren.
Starting point is 01:08:54 Crick's the man, and he's very, very funny. He will stand up to you in the dorkiest way possible, which is like you're being mean to me. Yes. It's just like, oh my God, dude. That's how he was when we commandeered the Xbox. Right. The PlayStation, actually. He brought up the...
Starting point is 01:09:11 You know this story, right? Yeah. When he moved in with us, he brought a PlayStation in. I just immediately took it. I just didn't stop playing it. Like 24 hours a day. I had like a full NHL season. Like the franchise just played every game.
Starting point is 01:09:27 And he'd be like, I would like to play the video games. You would play Elder Scrolls and we would just sit behind him. We'd play Elder Scrolls and we'd all be behind him. Like, yeah, so I'm going to be the Calgary Flames. Start talking about the game we're about to play. Like, oh, it's going to be great. Brandon, how much longer
Starting point is 01:09:47 do you think? Well, I'm playing right now. Oh, dude. It's my PlayStation. I brought it here. I'm going to play it.
Starting point is 01:09:55 I'd give it to him. I'd have broken down. He said that he would do that. He would just keep playing. He would stay in his ground as long as he could, dude.
Starting point is 01:10:02 He would try his best. I would have folded. He does stay in his ground. He will. Absolutely. I. He would try his best. I would have folded. He does stand his ground. He will, absolutely. And I don't know what to do with it when he does it. It's uncomfortable. It's for sure uncomfortable. He does do a good job of flipping the script of actually making you like,
Starting point is 01:10:16 because you're not going to take it to the next level and be like, no, I'm playing the video game. I have. I definitely have. Dude, I took a weed hiatus one time because I was really stoned at 10.30 a.m. And it was just me and Crick sitting in there. And I think he was just down there playing the Elder Scrolls. I was just on the couch.
Starting point is 01:10:35 It was rock bottom for you. I was just sitting there watching him play Elder Scrolls. And I started thinking about how my grandfather came over here on a boat. And I was like, fuck. Yeah. It's 1030, I'm stoned and I'm watching Crick
Starting point is 01:10:48 just grab little pieces of paper on a video game and put it in a box. It's like, I'm making a potion. I need to work on my armor. I'd be sitting there like,
Starting point is 01:10:57 dude, this game sucks. Crick loves the games where you just collect notes. He does. Where you're like a lesbian who's collecting notes. He had one that was,
Starting point is 01:11:04 I forget what it was, it was like you just lived in a house as a woman gone home you like piecing together that you're like a lesbian or something there's something like that just figuring out your sexual identity this whole episode is just trash in the bar celebration of the dog he hit me with a rock bottom once. Really? He rock bottomed me. Then he people's elbowed me. I was playing. I think I was playing NHL or something late. And then he came down in like a bathrobe and started eating like Nutella.
Starting point is 01:11:34 Just out of the cabinet, just standing there. And I like looked in and looked at him. He was like. And I was like, Jesus Christ, dude. That's such a sick superpower. Is that people will question their life. Just with your existence, people are like, what the fuck am I doing? Well, the funny, I feel like.
Starting point is 01:11:56 That's where I abandoned LeMare Crick. Yeah, fuck you, Crick. Coward Hour is coming back to Philly. The Crick moment that stands out for me still is like, so like the second time time the second time i got kicked out is when he was living with us in burbank because i just wasn't paying rent yeah and uh and you summoned crick out there like let's split an apartment you stayed on the couch yeah that was my favorite part of the homeless story was didn't you just like sleep start sleeping on the couch after a little while? Dude, you're just living here again. Yeah, after a little – and we had one roommate who wasn't happy with it.
Starting point is 01:12:30 So like when he – like he would stay home later than everybody else. So I would like hide in the bathroom. It was like – I was playing like Metal Gear Solid just like hiding. Yeah, you'd be in a box. Yeah. So it was like the 25th of the month or something. Sorry. That just deserves an extra 10 seconds of the month or something. Sorry. That just deserves an extra 10 seconds of just hiding in a fucking house.
Starting point is 01:12:49 Some guy being like, is there somebody? Here's the shower. I don't want to go in my car, please. You're just thinking about scripture from your car as I walk through the valley. Yeah, dude. You were in the whale. Absolutely. You were Jonah just hiding in the tub.
Starting point is 01:13:09 But I remember it was like 25th of the month. It was like the end of the month, and I had only just paid them for the month that I had missed. And Brendan had to have a man-to-man with me, and we got through. He's like, look, man, you've got to start paying rent. Got to do it. I was like, I understand. I feel like he says names when he's serious like nick yes he goes nick yeah he leads sentences
Starting point is 01:13:34 when he's serious with your name like shane i brought the playstation but yeah he was like he was like you gotta start. Like, we can't do this anymore, man. I was like, I hear you. It's serious. I hear you. I'm going to take it into account. Look, I'm trying to manifest some rent. I was like, you're right.
Starting point is 01:13:56 I'm really sorry. I'll have rent. I mean, there's five days till the first of the month. I have $20 in my account. That rent was not going to be there. But you know, you just have to fucking make people, you got to make people think that you're their friend in that moment.
