It was a crazy trip, and so we figured we'd open it up. There we are. I mean, the first time I saw it, I was expecting an image like this to come back. And even still, nothing could have prepared me when this hit the timeline. Yeah. I was filled with such joy. Just me or not. A couple of Oscar winners, Oscar nominees, two of the best actors of our generation,

one of the greatest filmmakers, a legend. Aiden, my boy, Aiden, he was great. He was, he's in the movie. Anyway, I would, yeah, Venice. So we started off with Venice, which was fucking crazy. And then, this is literally the film festival that, like, the world's elite go to. Like, I saw a video how they planned their, like, yacht schedules to, like, be in the Caribbean or the Mediterranean. And they want to be here for, like, the Formula One Grand Prix and the fucking Venice film festival.

It was fucking crazy. Yeah. It was fucking insane. You pull up on a little, you have to go. You have to take boats everywhere. There's no cars. It's like an ancient city. And each boat rides like 200 fucking euros.

These motherfucking, these fucking Italians fucking really clean up. They know you're fucked. They're like, okay, walk. We are the only game in the town? The fuck are you going to do a swim, bitch? So. In your Armani suit. But yeah, I was tuxed up, you know, on the fucking red carpet.

The standing ovation, Venice, you know. I will say, I hadn't seen the movie. There was no. more nerve-racking moment of my life than in a tuxedo having just been on a red carpet everybody's sucking your dick and then being like, what if I suck in this movie?

I'd never see shit and I did fine, you know, whatever. I didn't embarrass myself. You look over your shoulder, people typing on reviews. Whole movie great except for Stubrubrotham. Completely took me out of it. That happens with comedians so often. We're like comedians get their big shot in a movie and they're so bad.

It's just their career is just craters. You know what I mean? No, just seeing the, just seeing the, trailer and how this movie cut like the general tone like the the the fargo-esque kind of tone that i was getting good it's like it's your perfect fit to fucking slide in there i think so and i i have some notes for my own performance for the future but it was a great i mean this is this is one of the best things ever happened like it's insane to be like oh nice i'm my life is peaking i'm experiencing the peak right now entry this is the atrium of the peak my friend the way we're talking about the cheeks

We got a, listen, we got a couple more years, but let's be honest. It's going to level off. It's fine. That's fine. I don't want to, I mean, whatever. It doesn't matter. This is the beginning of your John Goodman arc. Yeah.

This is your brando arc, but your brando arc for your whole life is like the second half of his life. It's just him and fucking, uh, the mister, the island of Dr. Moreau. I know. I just skipped the part where you're hot. I just skip the part where he's one of the sexiest metal, where he fucks every hot woman and man in Hollywood.

And I just get to the point where he's losing his mind and his fattest shit. Just put me under a sheet and shoot all my coverage for Superman by myself. I'm just going to make the production very difficult for everyone else involved. Yeah, I'm just a, I'm a fat, I'm a fat difficult queen. You send eldest to receive your Oscar. And he's wearing a Native American headdress. He's wearing a traditional Albanian gear. I changed my tune.

I'm all for Albanian independence now. This belongs to the people of Albania. Yeah, but it was fucking, it was an insane, yeah. Clemens and Stone, good hangs. I mean, they literally are the coolest people of all time. It's fucked. Like, that was the, I mean, I did the movie, and I was nervous, because I don't know these people at all, obviously.

Sure. And I get there, and they were cool as shit. And me and Plemons hung out all the time. And Stone was there a little bit, and she was cool, but we didn't chill that much. I got there. Oscar winners are just on a different schedule. But she was, no, no, during the movie.

When I got there, she couldn't have been, like, nicer. It was fucking awesome. And her, her husband's a fucking awesome, dude. He was on SNL. He's a director, right? I was on good neighbor. He was cool as shit. We actually, that's the reality is like, oh, there's a fucking comedy guy here.

Yeah. We fucking hit it off. It was awesome. I mean, Plemish is the man. Aidan's awesome. I had finally just watched Breaking Bad for the first time in, like, the Plemons arc later on. This guy really is fucking. he's truly insane he's not he's underrated if anything but it was awesome there were some hilarious

moments of you know you take fucking black cars to get to boats and shit and they just kind of shuffle you in there and i just ended up in a car with alicia silverstone me and in the middle was willem defoe and dude i am just i kid i am bombing with willam defoe he's just he does not like anything I'm saying he's being polite it was like it would have been better if he was like shut up but he was like like you know when you're bombing and first like yeah nice yeah oh okay

like just kind of keeps the conversation moving doesn't want to make it all like it's being nice about it but he clearly I'm just nervous I'm like kind of brushing it away like what kind of angle were you taking conversation I don't know you know you know it was just like I'm trying anything to get a laugh

I'm a Patreon subscriber you know I obviously yeah that would have been awesome I'm obviously complimenting because he's incredible. I wish I had said Boondock Saints, but I didn't. I really, I was, that would have been, at least if I had said I love Boondock Saints, I would have gone down swinging instead of being like. The big home run swingers. Because, you know, of all the people who approached Willem Defoe to compliment it,

the most annoying guys have to be the war. You're so right. Thank God I didn't say that. But he was treating me, you know. Bro, dude, I fucking love Boondock Saints, bro. Yeah, I wish. Have a picture. You're with us, too.

I wish I would have said that because I do love Boondock Saints, but... Wish we do. We do. It's a great movie. But I come, you know, just on all his fucking movies, whatever. But yeah, it was just unexpected. Because it's like, you know, everybody else I know, and, like, I have some rapport with them.

And it was just... And then, you know, we get in a boat again, and it's like the bigger crew and I'm fine. But I'm telling, I am just bombing. Do you ever... Bomming. Because you're an outgoing guy. You're going to chat up whoever. But do you ever get in your head as a...

I do like, oh, maybe I'm playing it a little bit too cool around this fan's person? Absolutely. That happened instantly when I didn't, like, when I just kind of falter on three exchanges with Defoe, I'm like, I'm cooked. And now you're in your head. Now you're getting the like rumble. It's like college football NCAA and it's like the stadium pulse is going. I'm like, I'm like the kicker about it. And the whole stadium's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Here we go. Here's one last riff on third and 12. I'm fucking up my snack count. And I just fucking fumble the snap. It just slips through my fingers and I just stay silent. False start. Offense.

Made a joke completely went over everybody's head. And even if it connected, they probably would have given him a weak chuckle anyway. But it was still awesome. It was fucking incredible. Oh, yeah. There's me and my girl, Emma. More candids. I didn't see that one.

Where did you find that one? That's so awesome. Just Google, man. I mean, I love her in everything that she's in and, like, so good at comedy. Well, I know, very funny and an incredible actress. I mean, the thing about these fucking red carpet guys, though, is like, they're fucking rude. Like, I was just being like, I told the guy to shut the fuck up because it was rude to Alicia Silverstone. I was like, dude, shut the fuck up.

Was he a paparazzi guy? He was trying to get her to sign something. He was like, you are so, he was like, you are some mean. You had a jet, you had a stingy, you know. What a fucking pig. It was crazy. Everyone was jumping all over who is the sexy guy, the tall guy with the dark hair. A lordity?

Because he told some guy on the red carpet, like, don't ever tell me what to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's like, apparently those guys are super fucking rude. Yeah, I was like, dude, I was like, you need to check your attitude. That's great. It's awesome because celebrities have to be like nice, but I didn't have, it was fucking cool, dude. I got just be like, shut the fuck up. Podcaster's privilege.

I was like, fuck you, dude. They didn't know who I was. Dude, oh, the best part was when we get out, you know, they start with like, obviously the least famous people. It's like reverse fame. The procession, yeah. So I'm in a car with. Dealers first.

Not even, not even famous. It was like, you know, whatever, like the way you're billed, right? And like, Silverstone has a great, she's really great in her part, but it's a small role, right? So she's first. I go, they assume I'm like security or something. They don't even, they don't even, they skip right past me, and I go after Jesse, I think. Or like, something weird happened where I'm like, all right, here's my moment.

You're like, striking poses. And then they're like, Mr. Plem is. And I was like, wait, I'm in the fucking movie. Because it literally just looked like some fat guy with Alicia Silverstone. Dennis and Franz, you are blocking the view of a four or five important people. Get out of the fucking way. Oh, dude, it was fucking crazy. But it's in fucking sane, dude.

it's fucking crazy like that that whole that whole experience is like i don't understand how like how famous people don't go insane because it's like that amount of attention and that amount of like the pictures and the like anytime you move it's it was fucking wild dude and i it was just like you know it was cool to experience and it was literally like hallucinatory like when it's over you feel like you just did a drug like it's just your body's in such a weird Doesn't feel real. Your mind is like, what the fuck's going on? This is one of the most unnatural things possible.

And again, they didn't know, but who the fuck I was. Everybody else is getting their name shouted. Everybody wants autographs. I didn't even bother to go over to the autograph section. I'm like, I don't need to be to like have one guy. Pity asked me for my autograph. I didn't know him. A big huge Comtown fan.

There was one guy. There was one fat guy in a Hawaiian shirt. And he tried to get me to sign an autograph, but it's like, dude, we're literally leaving. Like, I'm going. on a button. He was like, oh, you big time me? I was like, you picked the wrong time, Dickhead. I was doing nothing for a half hour. You could ask me then. That's why I take it with a grain of salt whenever anyone has a report of like a firsthand encounter of a celebrity being rude or whatever or not signing an autograph. It's like you have no fucking idea. Well, dude, the crazy

thing is some of these motherfuckers just bring you stacks and they clearly just want you to sign. Here, I brought you 15 minutes of work so I can make money. What the fuck? It's so funny. Shane was telling me that, like, people just tail him to get him to sign stuff. Like, he can't even, like, and he's like, and then you think, like, who the fuck's buying this? But people buy it online. It's kind of crazy. Yeah, they're a collector's a whole

market for that. It's fucking brutal. Should we start, should we just start our own? Should we just flood the markets? We gotta sell a lot of grass. Maybe we should, dude. That's actually a great idea. Give out signed pictures. Do they drop them from a plane over over L.A., over all these cities? Yeah. Was this

the first thing you did in Europe? Did you just like hit the ground and it's like get right into fucking mess? I had I was insanely jet lagged I take a weird fucked up nap This is where I was making fun of Italians That was killing on the red carpet I was like Emma please

If I don't get at this picture I'm gonna kill myself My whole family is gonna starve I'm not buying linguine I'm the only person in my family who work The entire rest of my family Worker Collective for three hours a week Yeah I was getting

I was getting big laughs mocking the Italians on the red carpet to my stat to my, you know, my coworkers.
