He came in.
We were in the fucking dealership

Close to four hours. Are you recording live?
Yeah.
Okay.
And, dude, like I have every piece of documentation you can imagine.
I was like, her credit might be better.
I was making fun of myself, and he's like, I got terrible news for you.
It's really great.
It's $770, and I was like, let's fucking go.
Yeah.
I got all my documents for our income. It's $770,000 and I was like, let's fucking go. I got all my documents for our income.
It's solid. The only thing we don't have
is our tax return
for 2023, which a lot of people don't.
It's fucking, this is April 15th.
Yeah. It's also
like fucking Trump never released his
tax return. Jesus Christ.
And he got probably in his fucking mouth right now.
That's literally this year's tax return?
Like the just now tax return?
Just now.
Why would you need that for a car?
Dude, I kept saying the same fucking thing.
What does that matter?
Here's my bank account.
Here's how much money we make every month.
Why can't you buy it?
Are you not doing that well?
What?
Why are you leaving?
No, we're doing too well.
I think we, like, he raised suspicion
because I probably smell like beer.
I shit all over my shirt.
He's like, this is...
I gave my 10- That's the actual problem is you just always show up with alcohol in your breath? suspicion because I probably smelled like beer. I shit all over my shirt.
That's the actual problem is you always show up with alcohol
in your breath. I just had a beer in my hand.
I'm like, look, all these papers are right there.
I'm fine.
Dude, and he's like,
look, we're closing. We'll figure this out
tomorrow. I'm hoping this is just this
bank is like, you know, scrambling.
What bank are you using that seems
so illegitimate? I don't know. It's fucking you don't know your bank. That using that seems so illegitimate i don't know
it's fucking you don't know your bank that's a no it wasn't my bank okay it's the the jew tunnel
bank that audi's use it oh that's that's the issue yeah the financier yes the financier there's a lot
of mattresses under your bank so i can't figure out what the fuck is going on i'm like all right
let's handle it from afar so for three hours yesterday they're going to the bank they're like now we need your llc article of incorporation you're buying a
german car using a jewish bank so we start there that's the biggest issue yeah that's why they're
tight with the lending yeah they're like i don't know they're like we're not giving this to you
dude i'm at this this outdoor i'm thinking i'm getting one more beer. They're going to call me. They know you're pro-Palestine.
They called.
Yeah, they're swearing the colors.
Yeah, we did put.
They're asking you all sorts of questions.
So what do you think of the other day?
You think that was justified?
Yeah, we have one more question.
Where do you stand on Palestine?
Just a little sheet.
No comment.
I'm at this outdoor brewery.
I'm like, I'm going to have a celebratory beer because this call is coming.
It's my turn.
I'm in line.
As opposed to the maybe beers you had before you walked in?
Three maybe beers.
One, we're definitely going to get it.
And then I'm in line for my let's go pick up a fucking...
Yeah, to drive a car home.
And he calls me.
He's like, look, they're still needing this tax document.
And I fucking wigged out.
I'm like, this doesn't make any fucking sense.
I have enough.
This should not matter.
I've proved my identity, my income.
What the fuck is a holdup?
He's like, we've been trying to get this
off the lot for you, and I just hung up.
And then, Shane
introduced me to this guy, Britt.
Britt is our Texas University
hookup for football and baseball.
He's the fucking man.
I remember him
hearing about my car troubles. I don't know if it was on the
pod or personal, because I tell everybody I fucking
see in the streets. And you haven't had a car though
since 08, right? 08, I haven't had a car.
So this is like, I'm drooling like a fucking
You really want this car. Like a dog, yeah.
I'm like, yeah.
So then I call, he sent me, he's got this guy
Covert. Covert family is like the
Kennedys around here. They own like
four or five different dealerships.
I made a call to him. Just like the Kennedys.
Just like the Kennedys. Just like the...
You're not familiar with the Kennedy car empire?
Dave, let me just get my anger out.
I recall the Kennedys loving automobiles.
Remember that?
He had a nice convertible for him.
Yeah, you remember?
Kennedy, Texas, Lincoln.
Lincoln, Mercury.
You remember those days.
Still bits of skull in my alley.
Have you seen this one?
You don't need the top.
Let me just vacuum that up first.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I called him.
I was like, before my tears were dried, I was like, I need help, man.
Yeah.
Because if I can't go to another Audi dealership, they're using the same banks.
I got to pivot.
And by the time I got home, like 15 minutes,
there's this voicemail like, hey, this is for Tommy Pope.
This is, you know, whatever his name.
He's like, I heard you have some troubles.
Our friend Britt called you.
We are your guys.
Call me right back.
And then I called him, and he's like, you can come right here right now,
and I'll give you a loaner for you to bop around town
until you find a car for yourself.
I don't want you and your girl being held up, not being able to do something.
I was like, what?
Jesus Christ, dude.
The hospitality was incredible, dude.
This is the whole new Shane that I remember.
I know Shane of three years ago.
This is the now Shane.
Just call this dude in Austin, and he'll give you a free car.
Dude.
As opposed to Shane, no, I don't need five bucks.
I'll just go take the subway.
Yeah, Shane has blessed us.
Good for him.
Honestly, it's amazing.
Yeah, so I'm going to buy a pre-owned Tacoma for my girl.
Because that was the goal eventually after me getting a car.
So I'm just going to get that first.
That's a good car. It's a nice truck.
Yeah, it's a big baby. So what
are you riding? I don't know what I'm going to do now.
Now I have something for a while. I'm going to think about what I'm going to
do because this guy's got Cadillacs.
He's got Cadillacs, Fords,
GMC, Lincoln.
All American, baby.
All American. I just smashed my Lincoln
out front. Dude, I heard you
hit something.
It's an older Lincoln.
You just lost your other Lincoln to a T-bone, didn't you?
That was a Cadillac.
Cadillac.
Two weeks ago.
He's on the phone with me.
He goes, all the spots are reserved.
I was like, yeah, you can park there.
And then I just hear like, boom.
And he goes, shit.
You just hit something?
What'd you hit?
Maybe a guy.
I don't know.
Hopefully a deer riding a bike.
Do deers do Uber Eats?
I don't know.
I think a Chick-fil-A bag.
Yeah, I think a curb.
It was just one of those things where I was talking to him, and then I'm like,
oh, I think I see another way to end, and then I just went over the curb.
And I was like, well, as long as that's not important the picture you sent me yesterday is
that the car you got no the car i have right now i'm just this car i just bought for texas to kind
of drive around in it's an 06 lincoln yeah i found an old lady who obviously died in houston
yeah so my win and it had like 70 000 miles on it but it looked brand new so i i did the whole
google earth thing it was sitting in front of a really nice house in houston so i just went and
paid seven grand for it but the other car that i had was uh 2018 cadillac ats i had bought off a
two-year lease yeah the warren buffett route yeah and i loved that car yeah and i just dropped my
son off at school and it was snowing and somebody
in like a 15 year old
Chrysler Pacifica with bald tires
spun out
slams into the side of me
and I tried to like dodge it
and then he just hits the side
of where my son would have been sitting so I'm lucky there
but as I'm waiting
for the cops, the cop pulls up
and he gets out to talk to me
and another car spins out and slams into the cop car oh that's a bad video of oh yeah
because immediately instead of helping her i'm just pulling out my phone yeah
and i'm just looking at the cop and i'm like do you think you could have salted the road with the
surplus of salt you had here in Detroit?
I'm trying to be a dick, but you could have fixed this at any point.
Totally preventable.
But I figured they would fix it.
They have all the salt and no trucks to put it down.
Dude, that's the problem.
They have a surplus in Michigan of salt, and they were like, yeah, we'll be fine.
I'm like, sure.
I'll just drive my son to school.
Wait, so it hit your frame and it's totally dude because it hit the back left tire they
totaled out the car oh my god why no airbags went out dude because it's just the axles fucked right
exactly the axle and the frame were bent even though no airbags no dude i take really good
care of my cars yeah i was so fucking pissed when they told me they're like we're gonna
send you a check for 17 000 i'm like fix the car yeah i don't want to check for 17 000 so i can go
buy nothing in 2024 that's a lot i know well it's it's still worth something yeah but you're not
gonna get that car for it yeah yeah and like i mean it's better than if i were to try to sell
it i'll give it that like yeah I got a good deal wrecking it
I've always learned in the many cars that I've wrecked
You do get a better deal from the insurance company
Yeah
But
How many cars have you wrecked?
Oh so many
His youth stories are fucking
Yeah
A Cherokee
A tourist show A mustang 50 uh chevy cavalier
that one they actually actually came back because i thought i got away with it i would genuinely
love to see a crash reel he's just slowly aging and crashing the same way. God damn it. The Cavalier
burst into flames and it wouldn't
go into drive, but it did go into reverse
and I drove backwards in it.
On fire? Yeah.
Why, are you fucked up, I imagine?
Oh, yeah. And I looked around for the other
car and I was like, oh, fuck.
And then there was no other car and I was like, oh, good.
It was just a median. So I drove home dude and then that's how you know your shit face oh you drove home in
reverse with your car on fire yeah yeah in detroit yep can you tell me there isn't another car
that rules the benefits there's so few cops that i was able to make it. My God. And then when I got home, I was like, I put out the fire,
and then I just left it.
But the cops showed up.
Just pulling the hose out from the side of the house.
Yes.
Putting the fire out in your Cavalier.
Then waking up the next day like, I forgot about that.
I didn't wake up the next day.
What happened was they showed up with my bumper,
and I was like, why did I start drinking when I got here yeah yeah what sucked was i the the funniest one i crashed my my red cherokee into a white
cherokee that was parked on the street and i I was drinking, but I slid on ice.
And I really wasn't that drunk or high.
Your other car?
It wasn't mine.
I slid and I slammed into it.
And then I just drove home.
Two houses.
And no one said anything.
But what I didn't know was the car in the street had a bow on it and was a it
was a christmas slash birthday present for my neighbor and i guess the next morning they woke
up and opened the door and it was like here's your fucked up car happy birthday and they didn't
find out it was you they did two days later because a neighbor yeah a neighbor watched me drive by and
yeah white paint all over the side of my car and was like i think the yeah the matching paint on
that guy yeah detective dotty over here yeah ruining my fucking week and i'd already dropped
the drive shaft on it and it made this horrible like they needed any more proof.
It was never fixed.
So I would pull up to Taco Bell and stuff and it would just be like
and they'd be like
turn that shit off. What is that? You got a
beehive in there? And I'd have to turn it off
to order. Let me get three
hard shell, two soda.
And I had bumps.
You got that sweet thing after I get done bumps. Hey, you got that sweet thing
after I get done eating?
Hey, what's your name, baby?
Crashing into a car.
Backing up.
Driving up one driveway.
And assuming
you get away with it.
God, dude.
Yeah, it was the worst.
That car, it was so nice.
But it was such garbage after I had, you know,
dropped the driveshaft and hit another car.
And when I would drive it, it would hit the tire
because I had done damage to it.
But I'm like, I'm sure it'll be fine for a while,
even though you could hear it rub.
But it had bumps and an eh noise.
So it was like, boo, boo, boo, eh, boo, boo, boo. And then after I got caught, so it was like, boop, boop, boop, eh, boop, boop, boop.
And then after I got caught, I was going on the freeway,
so I thought I'd see how fast I could get a Cherokee up to,
which is about 105.
Yeah.
Until you shoot a piston through the engine.
No.
Yeah.
It blew?
It blew, shot right through the engine,
and destroyed the rest of the car.
I was also on acid, so when the guy showed up
me and my friends were just like just pie-eyed yeah and we're like hey how are you can you help
us and then we smoked a joint with him and he got the car back and there's a lot of guys that i know
sobered up and you're like why dude you were great you weren't that bad that scene here in dave's
stories like i get it man
you shouldn't i didn't know i honestly didn't know pistons can go through cars if i saw that on acid
i would be like there's no way this is really happening this is like this is good acid yeah
like i didn't know what had happened but i when i popped the trunk i just knew something wasn't
right because it was just the trunk the hood and i just popped it and i knew like he said just smoking yeah and then i also had
a three foot bong or sorry six foot bong that i kept in my car at the time so i had this big purple
six footer that we had to run and hide out in a field while we waited so it was just we're just
fucked and then fortunately the guy was a tow truck driver so we didn't have to hide any drugs out in a field while we waited. So it was just, we're just fucked.
And then fortunately, the guy was a tow truck driver,
so we didn't have to hide any drugs.
We just basically paid him in drugs
to get the car back to where we needed it to go.
And then fortunately, my mom showed up
and gave him an extra 50 bucks
because I called her and I'm white.
It is, I mean, your love for Cadillacs,
the pictures you were sending me, it is a pimp graveyard. They're, your love for Cadillacs, the pictures you were sending me,
it is a pimp graveyard.
They're all like pimp Cadillacs, right?
Yeah, the Cadillac,
I can send you the pictures.
One is a Fleetwood I found.
Like, I said, screw it.
Like, if I'm going to buy a car,
I'm going to find an old Cadillac now
because I'm tired of my...
My last Cadillac wasn't my fault.
I've earned it
and it was destroyed by somebody T-boning it. My one before that was a Cadillac wasn't my fault. I've earned it, and it was destroyed by somebody T-boning it.
My one before that was a Cadillac DTS that I loved,
and I was pulling out of a lot,
and an old woman and a Lincoln just barreled into the side of it,
and I got out, and she's like,
I'm sorry, please don't call the police.
I'll give you money.
Detroit sounds like a hellscape, dude.
I mean...
You can't even...
Everyone's just barely in the...
That's why the car manufacturers left.
They're like,
we can't keep fixing these.
Dude, if I bought someone a car
and put a bow on...
First of all, I'd be like,
I didn't even think
people really did this.
Put a bow on a car and...
You thought it's just rich people
on Lexus commercials?
I would be like,
this is the best day of my life that I'm doing this. Put a bow on a car and he thought it's just rich people. I would be like, this is the best day of my life that
I'm doing this. Yeah.
Yeah.
Smashes into it.
Oh, no. The worst part was it wasn't
even a night. It was a it was an OK car.
Yeah, it was for his daughter.
That's the best.
Yes. No, people do
say that to him when he showed up at your door.
Well, it's not even that good of a car.
Bitch is spoiled already.
She's got her own car at 16.
I got semi-lucky, but also tragically, my dad was dying at the time,
so he had a halo drilled into his head from brain cancer.
Oh, nice.
And he was also in Vietnam, so he could fight in case something broke out,
but I don't think he could have taken the guy in his current state.
So the guy showed up.
A 1% built RoboCop?
Yeah.
Yeah, but he's still
lodged in the thing, so if you hit him
it wouldn't help.
But my dad
answers, so the guy shows up pissed, and my
dad answers the door with a halo drilled
into his head, and the guy's like,
Hey,
we should talk about you, son.
Kind of realizing that there's some stuff going on at home. Your dad's just like, do you want them?
Take them.
Yeah.
That is a good strategy for, like, an alcoholic,
just to always have, like, a sick dog or a wounded person around.
But you're just like, I'm sorry, my mom just died.
Can we discuss this?
Yeah.
The guy immediately wanted to solve it financially instead of with fists. He's like, you'm sorry, my mom just died. Can we discuss this? Yeah. The guy immediately wanted to solve it financially
instead of with fists.
He's like, you know, we could just call insurance.
I see what happens.
That is a sick, more like a fake injury costume
with any time you're about to get into an altercation.
Oh, yeah.
So I just put on one of those things that has like a,
keeps your arms out.
Yeah.
Put a neck brace on.
You're like, you got to fucking pop out.
I'm good.
No, I'm fine.
Dude, just having a full like home alone setup. Like of a party it's just always a funeral like it's just like michael george
just a weeping grandma on a train
constantly blowing your nose if it's real bad you just have a baby coughing in the back.
If it's a black funeral, you just have one lady flopping over the casket the whole time.
I have my baby!
My baby!
That bitch has been hollering for 30 minutes through there.
Somebody's just yelling, they shot my baby.
Dude, a funeral home alone set is so fucking funny
it's the way to get
out of all trouble
yeah
oh dude
what a great sketch
let's write it
and make it
a funeral home alone
it's just a kid
who lives alone
but causes all kinds
of crap
he just gets
yeah he just gets
sympathy pussy
because he always
says somebody just died
every time the cops
show up for the party he's like alright, all right, guys, get in your suits.
Turn the set on.
Turn the train on.
It's like a Capone house.
You just switch the card table into a casket.
It flips over.
That fucking rules.
Yeah, it was an interesting time.
So I felled for you.
Yeah.
But yeah, immediately I went out, like you said,
I found a Fleetwood that was bigger than this room,
that had rims on it,
and it had the old, like, these giant rods on it
so you could park the car without bending your rims.
Okay.
Oh, on the outside.
Yeah, and I was showing my wife,
and I'm like, what do you think of that?
And she's like, what?
What are you doing?
And then I found another car.
It was a 1997 Eldorado.
Yeah.
And it said Music Man on the side of it.
And all leather, and then it had...
A wagon.
Airbrushed on the side.
Women have been beaten to death in this car.
They really are like
pimp mobiles. The ones you sent me.
The hood ornament had tits.
Yeah.
He put like a Rolls Royce hood ornament
on top of his Cadillac.
From the 30s.
Yeah.
It had glass
subwoofers in the back and I sat in
and I turned it up and the subwoofers were far more expensive than the car.
And I'm like, I might buy this.
And my wife's just like, what are you doing?
So I got my son, and I'm like, put on any station you want.
He's nine.
So he puts on his local station, which is this 105.1 rap station,
and it's playing Tupac.
And my son's in the car just like, buy this car.
Buy this car.
Your poor wife. Rocket money. money you know it you love it
saves you money we use it rocket money is a personal finance app that finds and cancels
your unwanted subscriptions monitors your spending and helps lower your bills so that you can grow
your savings burn tons and tons and tons of fucking money on shit that you don't actually use.
Also, everyone's raising their rates.
Oh, yeah.
And it's automated.
Netflix, Apple TV, they're all like raising their monthly rates.
It's like, you know, it's time to get rid of Disney Plus or whatever you don't watch.
Yeah.
You're not going to watch Star Wars.
It sucks now.
So get rid of it.
Yeah.
Spend your $10 on Look Edition, not gay-ass Star Wars.
Yeah, yeah.
Just, yeah.
Just, yeah.
I think you can buy it on Amazon.
Yeah, you can just stream it on Amazon or something.
Yeah, yeah.
You only pay once.
Don't keep paying Disney for crap you're not going to watch.
You know what I mean?
Disney's over.
Disney's, yeah.
We're done with Disney.
I never opened Disney Plus.
No.
That's another one I think I probably still pay for.
Although the last time I did, I watched Alice in Wonderland,
and it was fucking amazing.
It was amazing.
But that's besides the point.
The point is, go to Rocket Money and get rid of all these.
They'll even fight people on the phone for you.
Yeah, that's the best part.
Which is also the best,
because I've, yeah, I've said this before,
but I've subscribed to one of those
Tubi or whatever one of those things
and I don't know how to cancel it.
Yeah, they make it impossible.
I called the bank and was like,
look, if Tubi tries to bill me,
just don't pay.
They won't do that.
And they were like,
they'll change the name that they're pulling it from,
which also feels like, that's just someone who's stolen my credit card.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's probably a 7-Eleven clerk that has a fake little keypad thing
you put over top of it.
Steal all your numbers.
I saw that video, too.
Yeah, it's all over the place.
Can they steal the tap?
Take all your numbers and info.
I don't think they can steal the tap.
I don't know.
Well, anyway, stop wasting money on things you don't use't use cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocketmoney.com
slash stuff island that's rocketmoney.com slash stuff island rocketmoney.com slash stuff island
so where do you get this love of i don't know these detroit detroit yeah true i just love
part of the culture yeah yeah i just love cadill Cadillacs because it was a sign of opulence.
Yeah.
And when I was in 97, I got hired at 15 when my dad first got sick by this guy who I may
or may not have had other jobs, but I detailed cars.
I thought you were about to be like, may or may not have had sex with me.
I may or may not have been intimate with this man.
When you see the car of your dreams, you open your fucking mouth.
That should have been me in the audience.
I should have fucking...
My dad just died, dude.
I was sucking everyone up.
Your dad died again?
I need an excuse to swallow this.
It was a rough patch.
Yeah, my daddy just got sick.
I joined the scouts.
And you'd be surprised what they'll give you to keep your mouth shut and open.
Yeah, I detail cars.
And I would detail Fleetwoods caddies.
And it was $15 an hour cash in 1997.
So I learned how to detail cars, and I loved them.
And that's when I just started falling in love with Cadillacs.
They were just my favorite thing.
What's a lot of shit you found in a car? Like nails and hair and drug bags?
No, it was pretty classy.
It was mostly Italians.
Oh, okay.
The weirdest shit I found in the back of a car
was one guy who was getting his Ford fucking...
The way you start every sentence.
Yeah, I know.
The weirdest thing I ever found in a car
was one guy's ear.
He's getting his ears cut off.
He was, yeah, one guy's dancing around with a razor blade.
You just take the diamond earring out of the ear and put the ear back.
Well, it did get raided.
Yeah?
What, the detailing place?
Yeah.
Was he selling drugs out of there, too?
Well, there was a group of places in the area that got raided.
One place had a lot of marijuana, and at one place they found a dead lawyer in the back of a cadillac there were various things that happened oh my god
and they raided this place and found a bunch of ecstasy and a bunch of feds raided it and i was
standing there and i was like oh and i threw a dime bag out of my pocket and the guy laughed at
me and i was like i'll just just go. Nobody ever asked me.
Yeah, nobody cared.
You were what, 15?
Yeah, 15.
That makes sense.
15 bucks an hour at that time in 1997.
I stopped going to school.
Yeah.
Make more money than your dad.
Yeah, why would I?
I stopped going to school.
I found a gig.
I was going to the first period,
and I was like, why would I do this?
I could literally make more money today.
And they didn't really have a... I'd detail a car and then I would eat a sub
and then I'd detail a car
and then have a pizza and then I'd go home.
I'm also just imagining
a school with cars crashed into it.
Oh, yeah.
I just remember
just a car smashed into it. was a lot of it we had
auto shop and auto body at our school who was that one comic that has like that great joke
it's pretty old but he's like my family's so full of drunks that our family tree is a car
who was that i remember who did it but it's spot on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To so many people.
Yeah, the day I got my license, I got my car totaled.
Well, not mine, my dad's.
My girlfriend totaled my one car, a Cougar, Mercury Cougar.
Thing was like fucking...
What year?
It was like iron.
Probably 85.
Oh, it was like iron.
The Cougar had like the Thundercats logo.
Yeah.
It was so sick. It looked like a Thunderbird, but it was more was like iron it was the cougar had like the thundercats look yeah yeah so sick it looked like a thunderbird but it was more for like older women yeah it was a v8 i
couldn't see over the hood the thing was fucking giant oh yeah you didn't know where you were going
no i didn't i didn't wreck it i went to the poconos with my family and this my girlfriend
at the time took it out and she was exiting wawa and the one guy just let her out like he stopped ahead
and there's a there's a cross section green light and he waves her on he's like come on out and then
she makes a wide turn and this other guy was flying just wrecked it total the whole fucking
thing was my first car huh yeah oh it's a bummer what did it get hit with a bigger truck oh that's
but it had to be flying.
Because those cars now...
Truly were iron, dude.
They wreck everything.
If you hit anything in one of those old cars, done.
Like the new plastic cars, you'll just get out of it like,
did something happen?
Yeah.
And there'll be two dead bodies in the other one.
You don't even need airbags in those cars.
No.
It's a tank.
Then I got four Tars for like six years. Oh, there's... Four Tars. They go forever. Oh, cars. No. It's a tank. Then I got a Ford Taurus for like six years.
Oh, there's...
Ford Tauruses,
they go forever.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
It was a Ford.
It was the wagon.
I had the Ford Taurus wagon.
You had a wagon?
In high school?
Oh, yeah.
That's sick.
Well, yeah, it was like,
you know,
it was like a 1985 Ford Taurus.
Yeah.
Oh, with the seats
in the back that faced out.
Yes, yes.
Which was...
That's so sick.
A dream as a kid.
That's the way all your rapist lacrosse friends can look for cops in all directions.
Well, everybody loved him except for the families that got rear-ended and lost their kids.
Dude, yeah, we used to sit in the back of a fucking Chrysler LeBaron.
We would just sit in the back.
The way, way back.
Yeah, the way, way back.
Yep, and you'd look out
and then everybody's like this is great i can see the uncommon yeah just a little kiddie aquarium
about to get wrecked yeah dude that that car fucking ruled when i had it in high school i
swear to god the ac was like it was had to be toxic fumes yeah well and then it also had the
smell like like weird chemicals oh it was yeah do you remember
do you remember the vent one from when the ac stopped working it had two in a switch that
instead of in hot and cold it just said vent on it so yeah yeah you would vent it to cold just
reroute the muffler yeah what it was was it was the cool air that would come off the 90 degree
engine yeah yeah, yeah.
That's how you save money.
If your dad was poor, he would only use vent.
Yeah, he wouldn't use the air.
Yeah.
And you're like, this is...
He'd keep the windows up with the cigarette and go vent.
So you're getting both the engine and fucking Winston soft pack.
Dude, my mama had a Cadillac Fleetwood.
And we would drive it from Detroit to Atlantic City
because everything that we had was great.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
What an upgrade.
I know, right?
She was...
Detroit to AC.
What a great title for the saddest book of all time.
Like we're going on a road trip.
My mom was an RN too.
And so we're going to Atlantic City
because my uncle ran the hotel part of Bally's.
Oh, sick.
So we would go there and that's where I would spend my childhood, you know, on the Atlantic City because my uncle ran the hotel part of Bally's. So we would go there and that's where
I would spend my childhood.
On the Atlantic City boardwalk.
Let's get out of Detroit for a little bit.
Let's get this kid somewhere safe.
Hey guys, let's go see Detroit with an ocean.
But I remember the whole way there,
my mom smoking Carlton, which is the worst
cigarette ever, but with the
windows up because it's like, oh, I don't want you to catch
a draft. It's like, you're a registered
nurse. I'm in the back
playing, at the time, a Game Boy
VR, which apparently causes eye
cancer, just sitting in a
cloud of Carlton smoke.
Didn't your dad have Agent Orange,
too? Yeah. Jesus. Oh, no, there
was a lot of things that killed him. I think it was a mix
of my mom's yelling. And smoking. And orange well he smoked too god damn he quit when he got uh
brain cancer he quit smoking and he would like lecture me when he caught me he's like you know
i quit it's like you have you get cancer and then you quit yeah yeah stop with the lecture and that's
from the orange right that's not probably not from the cigarettes. No, his lungs are crystal clear.
And he bragged on that.
Yeah.
It is nice when one of them makes it.
You know what I mean?
Like, my dad's healthy, not cornwood.
But yeah, he smoked every day.
I've seen pictures of your day.
He looks great.
50 years, 60 years.
Every day.
Like, a whole pack, two packs.
Crystal clear lungs, apparently.
Yeah.
Which is fucking...
Well, so many people...
I think it is a genetic thing, really.
It's got to be.
So many people from that generation.
It's like they worked in coal mines.
They smoked every day since they were six.
And they lived to be like 114.
And then you have our generation where it's like,
I have a friend who's 41 and has had four heart attacks.
Just grew up on microwave food.
Oh, my God.
I mean, he looks like Chris Farley.
I'm sure there's something else there.
Yeah, cocaine.
Yeah, right.
But it's the cheeseburgers.
The frozen White Castle.
It's not good to be 5'7 and 400 pounds,
but still.
That is so funny.
I've been doing that, like, yeah,
just drinking every day
And then being like
I think bread
I think I gotta cut out bread
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah
I've always seen that
Slowing me down
I was so happy
When my doctor told me
After years of alcoholism
He's like
Your liver enzymes
Are really starting to look good
And I'm like
That's good
I haven't had a drink
In 15 years
Yeah it took that long
Now they're turning around
Yeah dude The last time I got a test Was like two years ago For the enzymes I haven't had a drink in 15 years. Yeah, it took that long? Now they're turning around.
Yeah, dude.
The last time I got a test was like two years ago for the enzymes,
like the AZT and ART or whatever, something like that.
Yeah.
I don't listen either.
Yeah.
Well, they give you a little form where you can judge the scale. It's like normal is like 13, 15, or 15, 18.
The other one has another set of numbers.
And my one was like double the average, and the third was triple.
So I called the doctor immediately.
I was like, this is crazy.
And he was like, no, it's not.
He's like, you're fine.
Drink more water.
Drink less alcohol.
And I was like, but the numbers.
He's like, yeah, that doesn't really matter.
We just try and keep you in that range.
He's like, look, you don't matter.
Yeah.
You're way gone, dude. We can't. I you in that range. He's like, look, you don't matter. Yeah. You're way gone, dude.
We can't.
I got too many patients.
I need one of them to die.
Yeah, he goes, look, I don't have all day to save your life.
No, dude, he did.
This is why I said this on the pod at one point, probably right after I found the doctor.
It's like this tall, handsome Greek guy.
And he just wouldn't put up my shit.
I gave him all my OCD, all my neurotic questions.
And he literally just went,
you got one more question.
And I was like, okay, what if...
And he was like, look,
I'm going to answer that before you ask.
He goes, sometimes you just need to chill the fuck out.
True.
And then he walked out, and I was like,
that's the greatest doctor I've ever met.
I do feel like just believing you're not going to die it is i've been believing i've been convincing myself i got this heart thing
and i just keep pushing on my high ab yeah yeah which can't help which now it's just a bruise
yeah so now every time i breathe you know i got i got problems dude you're not alone i've told you
like i'm already aware that if i'm gonna do it it, it's probably by my own hand. So I'm not really worried about what diseases I have.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
As long as this one works.
Yeah.
It's all just not terrible pause.
Yeah.
I feel the same way.
It's like, as long as I'm not buying a gun, nothing can hurt me.
Yes.
Dude, in the last couple of years, I've had to give my gun to friends.
Oh, no.
Dave, don't say that.
I'm sorry.
I don't want you to say that
because that's fucking real.
Dude, yeah.
There's no delicate way to say,
can you hold on to this for a while?
Yeah, it's like that scene in Godfather
when he knocks on the window,
he throws rocks,
and he's like,
here, hold this for me for a while.
It's just a fucking pill
in case of guns.
Yeah, except they know
it's not because I'm going
to hurt someone else.
Yeah, right.
What's weird is when you give
your gun to your friend
and they just know why.
They're like, all right, I'm glad you gave it to me
how about we don't give it back this time
Dave it's the third time this month
it's weird when they do because you're like I promise
I'm just going to use it for self protection
from who? from me
it's so funny
it's like an abusive husband ringing the doorbell
I'm like I promise I won't do it again
just give me another chance.
Give me my fucking 38 pack.
Constantly.
I need you to come over
and help me fill in the tub.
You know what?
You got my gun.
You gotta help me out with this.
Can you hold onto my toaster
for a while?
You know what?
This is a series
of all suicidal things.
You're just coming over
with rope.
Yeah, well,
you got a ladder
on the next day.
Like, here,
take both of these. to be honest with you.
Hammers?
You were going to kill yourself with a fucking hammer?
Well, yeah, if I hit myself hard enough.
I saw it online.
You go in a boat, you hit yourself with a hammer,
fall into water.
I got a really high up apartment.
You want to switch places for a while?
Yeah, you want the ocean view for 30 days?
Let me cool off.
I gotta show you what car you should buy.
I hate to do this on a show.
Is it a Caddy?
Also, if you want a Cadillac hookup, you gotta go to Covert.
Where's that? I can hook you up with this guy.
Same guy? Yeah. It's like 15 minutes away.
I found, I was seriously looking for Caddys
and I found the single greatest Caddy.
I hope to help for sale in Texas right now found the single greatest caddy. Yeah, we're turning the tables.
I hope to hell it's for sale in Texas right now, because it's the greatest thing I think I've ever found.
And I bet you it's not, now that I'm looking at my phone and stalling the show.
Who gives a shit?
This is a car you found in Texas?
Dude, I found it in Texas, and it's just the greatest thing I've ever seen. I can show you the Tacoma we're getting.
Let's take a look at it.
It's pretty the greatest thing I've ever seen. I can show you the Tacoma we're getting. Let's take a look at it. It's pretty nice.
2018.
It's got 115,000 on it, but for Tacomas, that's nothing, apparently.
Let me see.
Yeah, that thing rules.
It's got a double cab.
That's a great car, dude.
I think Gerben's got a Tacoma.
It's fantastic.
Look at her.
Yeah, it's nice.
She's a beast.
That's the good thing about...
Get my girl's titties sitting like six feet up.
That's what I mean.
Keep your say.
Eight cars.
Huh?
Is it Japanese?
Toyota, yeah.
Yeah, that's the good thing.
It's like miserable lives, but they will make something that runs forever.
Yeah.
Yes.
You know?
No offense if you...
I'm referring to the people in that country,
not American-Japanese.
Yeah, American-Japs, you can stick around for a while.
Yeah, but in that country.
Start working for some of these car companies, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Help us out.
Yeah.
If you could come down to Detroit.
We brought in Daimler with the Mercedes,
and it didn't do much.
I'm sure this episode will reach our two Japanese fans. Yes, they're going to be
pissed. Two adopted
Japanese fans. They're just heading to Suicide
Forest.
Hey, can you hold on to this
forest for me for a week?
I'm going to go hang out on the plains.
Can you watch my Redwood? I can't
climb it.
I just lost my job.
You got to hand over your Tacoma so you can't drive there.
Yeah, true.
I found, and there's no way you're going to believe me now
because I can't find it.
So it's the car, and it was in Texas.
And I'm like, all right, I got to find this.
And it's the car that Ray Liotta drives at the end of Goodfellas.
Oh, hell yeah.
Oh, damn.
That's a Caddy, isn't it?
Yeah.
So I was looking up these Caddys, and I found it two weeks ago.
It's a black square one.
Old one.
No, it's the brown one.
It's a 1979 Eldorado.
And I found it, and it was 28.5.
And I'm like, there's no way.
And I called up, and it was.
They had pictures of Ray Liotta driving it.
They put In Memory of Ray Liotta on the back.
They had all the pictures, all the proof of it.
Wait, it was the actual car?
It was the actual car.
Did it run?
Brown on brown, yeah.
And I was like, if I had the extra money right now,
I would go and buy this car.
Yeah.
And dude, it was, it had, yeah,
it was the scene where he's getting chased by copters
and he's looking up.
Yeah, I was going to say, it's up there with OJ's Bronco.
Yeah, it's almost as good.
Dude, I would have a carnival collection of shit like that
if I had Shane's money.
Every day they'd be delivering something off the fucking truck.
Like, that's Ray Liotta's car.
I would have.
Like, put him on the lawns.
I would just pick people up with Ray Liotta's picture on that
and be like, oh.
Just behaving like him.
Just like, you get it?
You know what it is?
You know what movie I'm impersonating?
Yeah, just throwing a helicopter impersonation.
Oh, dude, I guess, yeah, it sold.
Damn it.
But yeah, it sold very quickly because, you know, it's Ray Liotta's car from Goodfellas.
And it wasn't that expensive.
Where'd you find this?
Like, Facebook Marketplace?
Where'd you find it?
Yeah, it was a guy lying to me.
No, it was a car collector here
because Glenn Beck does that too.
A lot of stuff where he has like the all in the family set
and all these other stuff.
We'll just randomly buy these cars.
It's like, that's Hitler's first racer.
Jesus Christ.
But yeah, so I just found it and I'm like,
God, I would buy this in a heartbeat, and I should have.
Had I known my car was going to be totaled, you know.
When you finance cars that aren't from a dealer,
like if it's from a guy, is it all up front, 26?
It's just you got to pay him everything, right?
I don't know.
I'm sure you do.
I'm sure they prefer it.
Yeah.
There's no, like, I'll give you 10 today.
You take a loan out from a bank.
Yeah.
Call me tomorrow for the rest. Yeah, There's no like, I'll give you 10 today. You take a loan out from a bank. Yeah. I would assume. Call me tomorrow for the rest. Yeah.
I'm sure. Just in case
they are lying at the last
minute, you're like, wait, that's not here. That's in a museum.
And now you're stuck with a car that says
Ray Liotta on it.
Yeah. This isn't Hitler's
dog collar. Yeah, wait a minute.
It says
TD Bank on it.
Yeah.
What?
I wanted Hitler.
Who am I going to show this to now?
No one's going to be impressed.
Speaking of Hitler,
congrats.
I'm having a party this Sunday.
Congrats on you pivoting
out of your last job.
Oh, thanks.
I'm trying to do
as many polarizing things
as possible.
Yeah.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, I don't want to say it,
but yeah, that guy sucks.
Oh, thank you. Yeah, I don't want to say it, but yeah, that guy sucks. Oh, no kidding?
Wait, who are we talking about?
Hitler, not a big fan.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's good.
It's good to be known as a really great comic and then, you know, never getting to do anything with it.
Yeah, yeah.
I just want to point that out.
Well, it'll take some time. Hitler has his own mug club. never getting to do anything with it. Yeah. I just want to point that out.
Hitler has his own mug club.
Hitler's oven club?
It's true.
If Hitler was around today, he'd have a line of ovens. Oh yeah, definitely mitts.
It's like, dude, they're...
I mean, I don't like the guy, but he makes good...
They're expensive, but they're never going to break.
Have you tried his mitts? You will never burn your hands.
Dude, Hitler
trivets for your pants. He's just doing all the
little small kitchen cute shit.
Great suits.
I mean, Hugo Boss.
Yeah, that was a rough year and a half.
Yeah.
Well, you're out of the muck now dude yeah you know i have my own show which is good it's got sketches and i'm yeah it's nice it's
building it's growing it's awesome i'm getting out of it and it's sort of dude it's just it's
fucking weird like you and i had a show and then shane and we're growing out of that yeah dude and
i know people say all this shit about anthony but he gave me a very good break. Yeah.
And I love Anthony,
and I know a lot of people have their issues mainly.
Yeah, he was great to us.
Yeah.
He was great to me.
But you needed a break from heavy political conservative dog shit because you're not that guy.
Dude, I was never political.
I went on the Artie and Anthony show because it was Artie and Anthony.
Yeah, same.
That's what I don't get.
And then people are like, why are you on that show?
Yeah.
Do you mean the legends from radio?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, you mean the thing?
Oh, yeah, you guys.
Dude, I like still listen to their stuff.
It's like YouTube.
I'll just listen to old Opie and Anthony episodes.
It's fucking awesome.
Yeah, it's great.
And then if I mean when Shane, I started it and then when Shane moved to New York, it
was Shane and I.
And then Shane was just getting too busy.
And then Dave would be a guest of ours, like, here and there.
And he was like, dude, I love doing your show.
I'd just like to do your show after ours, if that's cool.
And I was like, yeah.
And he did it so consistently that he's like, I'd like to do a co-host.
You don't have to give me a dollar.
Because, like, I feel like you also saw, like, I want to just have fun and not have everything be so conservatively politically fucking well
do people also forget how quickly things went insane yeah you know what i mean it was like
2015 everything was fine yeah and then by 2017 we was like crazy yeah Yeah. I lost friends over it. Yeah, yeah. Well, it was so odd because Shane hosted for me in Philadelphia.
No, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
That's where I first met Shane.
Yeah, yeah.
And I was like, this guy's great.
He's doing Louis C.K., but he's great.
Yeah, yeah.
Was it like 2015?
In there, maybe, 14?
Yeah, yeah.
But he was phenomenal.
But you could see this potential
it's like ball of potential and then i but you just i don't know there's something about him
where you just knew he's gonna be a star yeah and then when he came out there like immediately
when you two came on i was like i didn't know what a fair one was and you guys came on anything
i was like oh shame like and we immediately clicked because i it was great to just see him
again yeah yeah and then we clicked immediately yeah and it was great to just see him again. Yeah, yeah. And then we clicked immediately.
Yeah.
And it was just so great to see him skyrocket
and then watching that utter bullshit happen to him.
Yeah.
I think that's such a great thing to watch him pivot into, I guess,
this level of superstardom that I've really never seen somebody
be able to bounce back into.
Yeah, it's crazy.
I've never, I can't believe the pivot he
was able to take yeah i dropped a tear when he came out on snl chris and i saw a lot yeah
what the fuck it's the only time i've watched snl since he was actually kicked off of it say
oh a hundred percent yeah it is also as if we were joking that it's like
it literally is like the matrix yeah when he goes inside of the agent at the end and like blows them out.
Yeah, yeah.
But it's like.
I remember telling him, though, too, like one of the first times he was on Anthony's show,
I go, you have that John Candy appeal.
And he's like, you said I'm fucking John Candy?
Yeah.
And you got like pissed.
And I go, like jokingly, of course. Yeah. And I was like yeah i was like no dude i go that's the good thing about you yeah i'm like
you have that vulnerability and that like sctv thing that like likability that is missing yeah
i'm like that's something that like snl is missing that they're gonna see he's got the charm of an
everyman yeah and then the brilliant wit of no man and then then Lorne Michaels saw it. Yeah. And I was like, see, fucking, I told you somebody would see that.
Yeah, yeah.
He got it.
Inevitable, yeah.
Some fan, that show, made, I know this because a fan made a meme of Shane is John Candy and
me is, fuck, who was it?
Robin Williams?
I can see that.
As the pirate?
I don't know. I'll look it up. It's on my wall still. Yeah. Because it made, that Williams? I can see that. As the pirate? I don't know.
I'll look it up.
It's on my wall still.
Because it made...
That's how I saw him, too.
Yeah.
And it always made sense that he was going to be this thing because he was likable and he was real.
Yeah.
And I just remember that bird call guy and just me and Anthony immediately just going fucking off on that show.
Wait, what show?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Seth.
Yeah, the bird call.
Is that his name?
Yeah, Seth.
Don't say it.
Oh, me and Anthony were just like, we should pull all episodes.
Yeah, dude.
I mean, at this point, who gives a shit?
No, it doesn't matter.
But I mean, Anthony, where credits do, was like, let's just get rid of lots of stuff.
Yeah.
Let's make sure.
Yeah.
Because why?
But if that worked, anything could work.
And also where, I think where comedy has come since that, there's a lot of people just like,
yeah, even the hard left is kind of like, it's funny.
You know what I mean?
Who cares anymore? It's always the N-word or something so ridiculously violent or malicious in your intent to joke.
It's like, dude, now it's different these days, I think, a little bit.
Well, like last night, you know, I was watching you on stage.
You're fantastic.
You know, you go up on stage, but it's not like you're doing anything that's deliberately supposed to be shocking.
And I'm going up after you doing something that's not supposed to be shocking.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lamar.
Lamar, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's not doing anything.
It's just comedy.
Yeah, yeah.
We're not going up there trying to offend anybody.
There's no fucking message here.
I'm not recruiting.
No, but I'm just talking about my life.
Yeah.
And the crowd's loving it, and that's all I've ever done.
Yeah, Yeah. And I think that that's what bothered me, I guess, a lot about the sour grapes of what happened.
It's like, dude, you make bird calls.
That's the fucking problem.
It's no one else's fault that you chose to suck.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sucking so bad, you take it out on everybody.
Right.
Like, don't blame him that you're not going farther in this.
Yeah.
But it was on everybody. Don't blame him that you're not going farther in this. But it was that thing.
It was also that Trump era
when he started to come up.
It was like
it was a war of the worlds thing.
Everyone turned every
sentence into which side
are you on? It became a
gigantic thing.
And it was so fast.
Like I said, I had some of my
best friends in comedy that just stopped
talking to me because I liked Shane.
I liked the sketch.
I liked the sketch that he made.
It was crazy. That's hilarious.
But it was just that time everyone was like,
with us or against us kind of thing.
When I remember a lot of Philly people...
And now none of those people are doing comedy.
I just liked what they made i liked the thing what yeah yeah when i remember
a lot of philly people being douches about it i remember that yeah well and then the second i got
on crowder like i left anthony's show specifically because i thought he was moving to south carolina
and then a lot of people decided to stir up this other stuff about how you know whatever i sent an
email blah blah blah i'm like none of'm like, I left because I have a family
and I was trying to find something else.
I probably should have known more about what Crowder was
before I jumped on the bandwagon.
Probably should have did a Google.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, I was doing a guest show,
and at the time it was more pajamas than guns.
Yeah, yeah.
And look, I don't have a problem with guns or anything,
but I just, I'm not a far
right extremist person at all.
Right. But I am somebody
who believes in comedy. Yeah.
And saying whatever you want that you think is funny.
And that was my job on the show.
And you have that feeling where you're like, it's a huge
platform and I can just be myself.
It doesn't matter what the other guy's saying. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Yeah. So that's fine.
And people turned on me, though.
Like, I lost real...
Dude, I paid a guy's rent so he didn't lose his...
Like, I paid a...
Not rent, but I paid a guy's mortgage
so he didn't lose his house during COVID.
Yeah.
Immediately taking pictures of me and video
off of that show
to try to take food off my kid's table
saying what a horrible person I was
for being on that show.
I had people that I had gotten work for over the years who wouldn't have had a career without me turn on me you know because i was on
that show like dude the number of people that just would stab me in the back because i was on that
show it was dude it was fucking astonishing dude it's like also one of those things i remember
saying this at the time it's like gonna be be so weird when you're 20 years from now
and you don't talk to your best friend anymore.
Yeah.
And they're going to be like, what happened?
They're like, Carter administration.
It's like, what?
That guy liked Carter.
Yeah.
It's like, what?
Whereas I think old school days, it's like my dad doesn't have friends.
It's probably like you just get to a point where you're like,
I don't feel like getting in the car.
You know what I mean? I'm tired today. Well tired that's a good reason not to be friends with someone
anymore well and with my mad at them with my dad and i always said my genuine honest experience was
like i grew up my dad taught me a lot about history conspiracy not because he was nuts because
what he experienced with the war himself yeah and he was a huge history buff like we would go to
gettysburg we would go to all these places when we were young because that's what he wanted to
teach me yeah so i grew up learning about all that stuff and a lot of the papers that i didn't do well
on in school was because i was putting down fact and not necessarily what they were teaching me
right yeah and but that's what i love to learn as a kid and you know as i as i get older you know
and i look at i don't know just the way that way that I went into these things and the way that I had an opinion, it was because I watched the government kill my father.
Yeah.
And I watched them take no accountability for it.
I watched them drain his bank account, give him absolutely nothing.
Jesus fucking Christ.
My dad came from nothing in Detroit, fucking orphaned, make all the money himself, lose every dollar he made.
Because he got drafted.
Yeah.
And lose all the money that he made.
And then that led to my mom's suicide.
So then when you lead, when it goes to me to go on to that show, I'm saying that I have distrust of the government for these reasons.
And then people have the audacity to be like, oh, so you're right-wing and crazy.
No, I'm very anti all of it
because I don't believe a word any of them say.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Something happened to me.
It's like, something happened to me that affects my...
Just throw that little dinger on top of all your wrecked cars.
Right, yeah, yeah.
Throw it in the pile, dude.
Mom's suicide.
And they're not salting these god damn roads
Right
And it's like I can't even drop my kid off
Without them salting
God damn
No wonder you're loaning your gun out every other month
And it's like then I have to go on another show
Where I have to pay all these lawyers to get off
I don't want to get into it
It's just you know can I get a win
Yeah Jesus Christ
Are you trying to remove shit?
What do you mean? From his show?
No, no.
I just had to get out of there,
but it did take a lot of
money that I had made
to just have to hire lawyers and everything
to figure out how to get out.
How long was your contract?
The contract wasn't so much
the length of it. It was what I needed to do to leave and then to sign on to a new show.
And, you know, I don't have his fucking YouTube money and his fucking...
Right, right, right.
And that's what sucks is it's like I'll be my role on the show.
That's fine.
Yeah.
But then all of a sudden you're touring with a guy, you're doing arenas,
and then I had my agent who wanted his money.
So now I have my agent gaslighting me behind my back.
Just a lot to get into because he wanted to be his agent.
So it's like, no, you should stay.
Do that.
He's just a fine boy and Cuban guy.
No, this is totally normal.
It's totally normal for these.
Because agents can stay in the pocket, literally,
and then out of the limelight.
Then I talked to, like, Frank Garrett and all these other people that are like, this isn't normal.
What are you doing?
And so eventually I had to realize, like, oh, I'm being completely gaslit and treated like shit.
Yeah, yeah, just for the money grab.
Yeah.
So it ended up being another, like, and Anthony, like I said, I know a lot of people have an issue with him, mainly his Twitter. Yeah. So it ended up being another like... And Anthony, like I said,
I know a lot of people have an issue with him,
mainly his Twitter.
Yeah.
But dude, the guy was...
He just didn't do a few things.
Yeah.
It's fun to check in on every once in a while.
It is fun.
Yeah, to say.
You're having like a quiet day, you know?
From 30,000 feet, it fucking rules.
Afternoon drink, you're like,
let me see what I had to do
you're sure enough
dropped a grenade in another well
one of those things you like
and then you're like I should pray now
fun heart
real quick
what I loved about Anthony was he's genuine
whether you like it or not
and what's crazy about him is behind closed doors
he's not that guy
no he's very sweet i would go to his like i stayed at his house through covid doing his show
like there's nothing about he's got all walks of life coming over all colored friends everything
yeah you go to his twitter and it's like what is this
seems like an x-log though i'm just trying to ruin his fucking life
I haven't been on Twitter in five years
That would be so sick
Let me tell you what happened the last five years on Twitter for you
After ten years of that just be like
Sorry Mike
It's just him making muffins
It's still Vinnie Brand's daughter
He's like wait a minute
oh my god dude
that whole situation
yeah his whole thing
is actually just
entirely different handle
it's Anthony Cumia 2
and it's just
yeah he just had a cooking show

why it wasn't taking off

Yeah, I was there. I was there with Shane
and Naeem. People act like it's an
impossible shot. It looks very makeable. Yeah. it actually does when you i mean i got up there the way his head
moves around is what makes it look so well you see the photo of it actually coming the second
shot coming from the agent in the yep in the car i believe that now i should let you finish
the second head shot did you see the guy turn around as if he's looking for the shooter
and just goes, pops him right in the fucking front of the face.
I brought my son to...
It's just a guy on the door.
Yeah.
Not blurry picture at all.
Yeah.
I brought my son to this place called Greenfield Village in Detroit
where they have all these old cars and, like, the whole, like,
where everything started with Ford and everything.
And they had the limo.
And, like, I walked up, and I'm like, yeah, this is where an East 5.
And I'm like, oh, boy, I've started this.
So I'm, like, trying to explain.
Like, it's, well, some people didn't like them.
He's like, why would they do that?
What, they shot the president?
I'm like, well, somebody did.
He goes, no.
I'm like, they're not sure.
That's when you just pull out an ice cream sandwich that's like dripping wet.
You're like, ice cream?
Honestly, they had the Oscar Mayer hot dog mobile.
Of course.
Not far away from it.
Smart.
I was like, oh, look at that.
It's a big hot dog.
Let's go over there.
That's a smart guy.
It's a palate cleanser.

Nobody was killed in that, I think.
Maybe by it over the years.

My friends did have record labels
so I would freestyle on some stuff.
So there are albums out there that have them.
