I fucking I had mice disgusting, but it's true I get to eat in the fucking body because I'm not in there. I fucking, I had mice. Disgusting, but it's true.

In my apartment in New York, I had some mice. They were babies. And you know, they came and they plugged up all the holes, but there were a couple of them in the apartment. So I got like the humane traps, the plastic ones. Yeah. The clear things. Yeah, yeah, I tried that.

And then in the morning they're stuck in there and you take them outside and you let them go. And I was so pleased with myself, like I found a good way to trap them. I take it out, classic New York. He runs right back in your house. Yeah, of course he does.

Just everybody The arrogance of cyclists and I was in europe people on mopeds That was by you and it's like dude.'s, it's easy for me to shove you

and send you to hell. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, like it'd be one thing if you came up like at a normal pace and then zoomed off, then I can't do anything. But if you're whizzing by me, it's like, I can just, I don't have to put that much pressure and you're going to be fish tailing and hitting a wolf. Like, and I don't mean I don't have to be that strong. The amount of damage I can do to a man. It's insane. The, the, the, the small, it's like toddlers.

You know how many best drivers I can kick, I can beat the fuck out of it once. The smaller the vehicle, the more the arrogance. Yeah, 100%. Bicyclists, moped, motorcyclists, the arrogance on these fucking people. And you put a pinky out there clothesline off the fucking thing. 100%. It's nuts, it's nuts.

When I see violent videos of motorcyclists and bicyclists getting fucking creamed, like death type shit. I laugh like I'm watching American style videos, dude. Disturbing my cackle when I see these people, their head rolls. This bitch is on a fucking bike and she gets, she's going like 80 miles an hour and she gets pushed off to the side and hits the guardrail. Oh, it's great. this way her fucking limbs go backwards

Yeah, just takes her less less breath in front of her Russian buddies. Yeah, it's great. They hilarious the Bicyclists are the worst because they they really I Have a thing about this in my to my act But like it's like they really think Because they're on a mission to make a contribution to this planet like like, that you're supposed to get the fuck out of their way. They really think they're better than you. It's so insane. I got trolled really bad.

I got drug bad online by bicyclists, because I went on, I almost hit a guy with my door. On purpose? No, no, I didn't see him. I was getting out of my car, I didn't see him. He was coming up, on the didn't see he's coming up on on on the driver Side he was coming. Yeah, which is illegal, right? It's before there were like lane. This is this is like there were bike lanes, but you didn't know where they were

You know what I mean? Like now you kind of know like there's you know, I don't know. It's much more obvious But I wasn't parked in a bike lane. You can't park in a bike lane. Yeah, yeah. So, but he was coming up and I didn't see him and I opened my door and he almost hit me and he screamed at me and I fucking screamed at him. And then I was going and me and Kurt Braunhuler used to have this podcast together.

And I went in, I remember that day, Nikki Glazer was the guest. And I went in and I started complaining about it and Nikki was like, I don't know, you know, I think it's good, they're not using gas and whatever. And I went off and I was like, fuck them and they're fucking whatever. And dude, it caught fire a little bit online.

These guys are coming after me. Some guy that wrote for like, he wrote for like HuffPo or something. He came after me, he said he was gonna see to it that I never worked again. Oh my God. And this is exactly what we're talking about. Dude, cause a bike, I believe, that type of.

And nothing happened. Yeah, of course. But they would tell these stories, it was nuts. They, as they were bitching about people like me, not respecting them, they would tell these stories and be like, yeah, so, because I started going into their forums and shit. You know, to see like, it was wild, man.

They were coming at me. And they'd be in their forums being like, yeah, today I threw a dozen eggs at a car outside my window because he was laying on his horn in traffic. It's like that's vandalism. You're complaining about people acting illegally, but you're acting, everybody's such a fucking hypocrite. It's just so, oh my God.

Yeah, because before they had the lanes, you had to be in traffic, technically. You had to be like not whizzing along the sides. You had to be like, not whizzing along the sides. Yeah. You had to act like a car. Yeah. That's the way I understood it. Yeah, no. So once you go into the middle or on the driver's side or any... Once you start sneaking around

cars, it's license to kill. Growing up, you grabbed the back of a pickup truck or a bumper on a fucking sedan to get whipping you through. You know what I mean? Like it wasn't... There's no fucking lanes. You grab the back of a pickup truck or a bumper on a fucking sedan Yeah, there's no fucking lanes and also as soon as we gave lanes they're like well, this is my property That's dude. That's honestly that such a good mark of the times. Yeah, remember in back to the future He does that yeah skateboard. Yeah, and then he gets caught by the guy. He's kind of like yeah, like sorry Yeah, you know like I'm not supposed to be doing this. And when you watched that movie when we were kids, you were like, what a rebel, that's wild.

And he's doing that. Yeah, he's so badass. Now somebody would do that and if you were like, what the fuck are you doing? They would be like, hey, fuck you, man. I don't have a car. Yeah, yeah. I'm using your car.

Yeah, yeah. It's like. I'm saving gas. I can't, man. Like they're one of those like feeder fish on a whale or something. Yeah, I can't so Symbiotic relationship. I'm coming out of my elevator today and this fucking cunt and she was a woman She's standing there with her fucking dog. This is 70% of the people in my building that I live in. You say hi to them, they don't even respond.

Insane. They don't even respond. I walk out, she's standing there with her dog, her fucking dog jumps up, she doesn't even fucking pull her dog back, she doesn't say sorry. I still go, hey, how you doing? And she fucking keeps staring at her phone. I hope the fucking robots take this place. I can't wait. We're we're not worth shit. Yeah, I can't wait to these fucking high rise takeover. You're in a high rise four

floors. I don't want to brag. I'm on the third but still. Yeah, it's ridiculous having to share a building with it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm on the third. But still. Yeah. It's ridiculous. Having to share a building with, they're all fucking animals. It's ridiculous. Who does that?

Who does, dude, people have let their, it's a nice building. People have let their dogs pee in the fucking elevator and they don't clean it up. Oh my God. Yeah. And like where the building has had to put signs up to be like, clean the fuck up or we'll ban dogs from this building. Yeah. And like where the building is said to put signs up to be like, clean the fuck up

or we'll ban dogs from this building. Yeah. Like it's insane, man. People just can't say, what is wrong with everybody anymore, man? It also feels like it is, it's flowing into the animals too. What do you mean?

Animals being disrespectful to you, Chris? I kind of feel like dogs didn't used to piss in the elevator. Well no, it's the owner. There's not a bad dog. It's a bad owner. Of course. Yeah, not a bad. There's not a bad kid That's a bad parent. Yeah, it's up to you to train your fucking dog not to be a cunt Yeah When they had parents and owners worth the shit training kids and animals to act properly everything was fine And now it's it people just people don't deserve rights. Because they keep pulling animals out of the animal jail. It's true. They keep rescuing animals.

Yeah. I mean, look, it's definitely it's the problem is either way for both sides. Is this small dog? We got Chihuahua type. No, it was like a fucking golden retriever. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's a. Dude, I got people in my building whose apartments are no bigger than mine. They got two dogs in their building in their apartment.

Yeah. It's barely big enough to have one. Barely. People are just fucking... They don't give a fuck about how they impose on anybody else, on how shitty they're making the dog's life, by the way. Yes. These fucking idiots. People walking around in a major city would unleash dogs.

Well, if your dog is trained properly, yo, really, really? So for fucking light flashes across the street, you're in your dog by instinct, but not fucking run at the fucking thing. Yeah. Because your dog your dog understands what a tractor trailer is. You fucking moron. Let's go Joe. I mean honestly man these people make me sick. It is crazy. It is crazy when you're like I used to live in like a high-rise like tons of people in there and people would have big dogs that were afraid of people. It's like why

did you live in an apartment building? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, I got in Austin. I mean, it's not it's not like New York City where you have to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's no really there's no other place for me. It's like, dude, there's houses right over there. Yeah. I mean, I'm sorry. Are you fine? No, I start getting like, I show that anger, though. Like, if I hold a door for somebody, they don't say thank you. I was like, what am I fucking door guy? Like, I'll make it weird. Fucking weird. So if someone doesn't say hi to me and they're within the same, if they're looking at the front of the door,

I go, all right, well fuck me then, huh? Like just a little jab to see if he goes, oh, my bad. Yeah. I was just getting fired on my email. Yeah, yeah. Give me a fucking story, yeah. I say something about half the time now. Half the time I'll say like, you know.

It's nice, because then other that you've you build up all that fucking steam. I remember, you know, Burr told me a story once he said he was in an elevator with Nick DiPaolo and a guy got on the elevator and the guy goes three please and DiPaolo just goes, Hey, what do I work for you? Yeah, I like it just didn't just the guy was like looking at him. Nick was like, dude, I believe in this.

There's a psychology around like going too far to hopefully train that person that that's not how you behave, right? Smacking a dog on its head when it jumps on a stranger, that's not how you behave. And they let these people go through a whole fucking life without being punched in the face or smacked on the fucking head

And they just go their whole life going well. No one's ever told me. I'm wrong right you know they're bad parents Yeah, and they become adult cunts yep, and then now it's my problem because you didn't raise your fucking kid correctly So now it's now. It's my bad. Yeah Yeah, you got it You got really got to have your hands full or be in a super crowded elevator to ask for a button I think yeah, I had a lady get on now again. Just go What are you what not what not if you offer dude? Yeah, go ahead You're heading yeah in my building three, please in my building fuck out of my face catch me on a day where I got

$18,000 $20,000 in wet magnets? You'd say three please to me? I'm losing three rings in your teeth. My hand to God, my hand to God dude, my hand to God, a woman got on the elevator in my building one day, I was already standing in there, she's talking on the phone, I'm against the back wall of the elevator,

she walks in and she stays in the front and she turns and she goes, two, and turns and stays on the phone. Get the fuck out of here. And I... Is this New York? No, it's here. It's the building I live in now.

And I press the button and to this day, I've not been able to let it go. Every day I think about it and I'm like, I can't fucking remember what she looks like. I fucking wish I could remember so when I see her, I could say something. I did this like a couple months ago. I don't remember exactly what it was, but I was on an elevator Someone was just yapping for like four floors and I just started playing music

It was just him and I and I just I played a song right and I just jacked it up And just let the song fucking blast the rules I'm like a fuck fuck you if you're not gonna respect me. I'm gonna respect you. Yeah, good. I I had a brutal one Here's what happens really quick. I'm sorry. Yes, you get a phone call. You're in an elevator. Hey, can I call you right back? That's it yeah, that's how you fucking do it you wait to get to your floor you're not that fucking important You're not running this country. You don't even run a company. You're a useless Please cut that But also to let's say let's too, let's say the call is important

and you need to stay on, you do this. You go, hey man, I just got on an elevator so I gotta go. Right, right, right, right. You know what I mean? You do that and it lets everybody know, look guys, I'm not a fucking monster. I'm just, I can't hang up on this.

Or hit the next fucking floor and get off. Something, but this is everybody's, this is what fucking pisses me off. They, something, but this is everybody's, this is what fucking pisses me off. They're entitled, Joe. Everyone's entitled. Everybody's so important. So I got two dogs in my hallway. They bark all day long.

They start at 6.30 a.m. Sell your fucking house and get a house out here. I like my place. I'm about to put 18,000 dollars in work. Sounds like hell, dude. It's a nice place. Everybody said it's hell. It. Sounds like hell, dude. Everything he said is hell. It's a nice place, but these dogs bark all day long. It's not unmanageable.

It's fine, but it's annoying sometimes. But my point is, is like, and the people that own the dogs, they're out all day, they don't give a fuck. They don't give a fuck that their dogs bark. Here's two things I am sick and fucking tired of. If you have a dog and you can't train your dog to shut the fuck up, you shouldn't be a dog owner. And if you have a kid and you can't train your kid

to shut the fuck up, you shouldn't be a fucking parent. I am so tired of people taking their breathing appendage into public and being like, oh, you know how it is. You know how it is. You know how kids are. No, I know how shit fucking parents are, and you're one of them. You can't get your kid to stop kicking seats on an airplane.

Don't fly with your fucking kid then. Oh, well they need to see their grandparents. Fuck their grandparents and fuck you too. Yeah. You suck as a parent. Yeah. It's fucking pisses me off, man. This shit of like, well, it takes a village. No, yeah, no, it doesn't. It takes one person who has half a fucking brain and some decency and morals and an understanding of boundaries.

That's what it fucking takes. That's what's always so crazy to me when you're on a plane. Every time you travel, you see like a fucking. What is that? Come on, it's a it fucking takes. That's what's always so crazy to me. When you're on a plane, every time you travel, you see like a fucking. What is that? Come on, it's a seltzer. Little sighting for you. East side or hard seltzer?

Just calm down, go ahead, Chris. Every time you just, every time. I love that you think a pineapple seltzer's gonna calm you down. This is the cyclist of dreams. Hey brother, I need a fucking rail with a tequila right down there. I know, but this is what we have.

Yeah, I'm ready to go into a stall at a dive bar. We purposely don't have the hard shit on here. Can't say what we want to say. Dude, every time you fly, you see someone who's like, who's, you know, traveling alone and like morbidly obese or crippled. And you're just like, where are you going? There could possibly be... I promise you don't have to be there.

It can't be work. When you got hired, they knew you couldn't travel. You know what I mean? It's not like you're traveling to sales. Unless you're counting jelly beans with your teeth. But wait, what do you say? that a candy can person shouldn't be? I'm not saying they should be allowed. I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed I can't believe they're doing it. All right.

I looked over like, what the fuck? Dude, some good rain gear. Black down Chris is a treat. And that doesn't happen very often. Good rain gear in a storm with Motley Crue blasting. You gotta live in that. That's a fourth of July.

I pointed at you, I go, you know what you're looking at? And Shane goes, what? I go, the king pig. So wait, so what, tell me this story. This is great. You fell down. I didn't see it. Otherwise I said this, I'd still be there laughing

and throwing up. This dude dropped like 200 feet. Dude. I fucking. Do you remember how, Paul, real quick? Do you remember how much shit we had to bring on the boat? Yeah. Right. So we packed 70 cases of boots, four coolers.

We had too much shit. Yeah, there were two full cases of Bud Light outside of the two packed coolers. Right? Yeah. Like just warm cases. We had a hundred ciders. Yeah, there was two extra cases of cider. There was a case of these NAs. I don't even know why, who would bother

to bring a nose from a boat? No one touched those. My lady brought them. You probably could have used a few of those. There was a case of water. Yeah. And then like three coolers, four? Was it four?

And then he had the two. I had the two I had Like bag that was Barely tapped into it. It was still full of beers Yeah, and then I had another whole bag full of like people's clothes and towels and stuff So we're you guys I don't know what I think we already jumped in the SUV you went with Shane or whatever I don't know if you went I got in an uber. I left the boat. I got in an Uber and I went right to the Whitehorse Tavern and got out and was, I was, I was so...

Wait, did we go to Whitehorse or La La's? No, no. After the boat, you went to Neather with me. Where did I go? We went to Shane's house and just kept drinking. La La's was on Thursday. You guys went back to Shane's. There's three days where I fucking. I know. Just one big day.

I went down, I went to Whitehorse. I got out of Whitehorse. By yourself? No, I got out and standing in front of the bar, it was Hinchcliffe, Edgar, Yoni, Rachel Wolfson, Ken Congdon. I got out of the car and they saw me and they go, Edgar, Yoni, Rachel Wolfson, King Kongden. I got out of the car and they saw me and they go, they all started oinking.

They go, the fucking pig. And we went in and she started drinking more. And I hit a point, I was talking to Or Mesh at a table and I was like this and in my head I just was like you need this wall a lot more than You should right now Fall over and I just I went home. I mean I was tanked so I can't imagine. Oh, I was wrecked Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do that. I think this might have happened before that but Tony sent us a text message He's like I'm sending a car to go pick you up. He come to white horse and I went, I'm sending the car to you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It's so great. Uh, so you guys left and then we were waiting for the van and uh, we were waiting with these Irish guys who are also like getting picked up in a van. So I start talking shit to them and like in an Irish accent. They're talking shit back to me. We're having like a great time. And then, their van comes first. They all get in the van. And right before they close the door, I lean in

and I've like, I feel fucking cooler over my shoulder, my bag, and I go like, fuck you, you fucker. And then they just slam the door in my face and I go ha ha ha and I look at all the other people that were with him like got him. And literally as soon as I step away from the van I trip. Sadie tells me he watches Chris go whatever and then he looks at her and he goes and then turns around and falls down I trip over my feet and at this point the weight of the bag has just turned me like it's an irrecoverable spin

that's amazing it's a hundred and fifty foot just mud hole to like a drainage ditch dude he rode the wave the entire fucking way. I blast through like one of those like, those triangle signs. I like crushed that. I'm just flipping through the whole time I'm going down. I'm laughing. Cause I, like, this is like the funniest thing to me.

And I can't stop. I went all the way into a ditch covered in mud. It was very, very. Did went all the way into a ditch covered in mud. It was weird. You heard it all? No. I got like a little bruise on my shoulder. Wait, two 50 pound bags protected. I can't land it on bags.

I had a bag full of clothes in me. A fat lady rolling down a hill. That's insane. You're covered in shit. How'd you get in the car? I just, I had changed clothes. I took everything off and changed into the clothes that I had in like the dry bag. Holy shit dude.

Jesus Christ. Oh I wish I would have seen that. Dude it was... That would have been great. It felt like Looney Tunes. Like it was like... Just over and over and wouldn't stop. Dude it felt like it took 10 minutes.

The Irish lads are still yucking about that. There's got to be footage of it somewhere. I think it happened so fast that they didn't film it. I mean, O'Connor turns a corner. Yeah. Yeah, it could start quick. Corner. He's drinking, man. He's fucking the do you remember the night in when we were in England and you know, you and you cut the fucking line at the bathroom in front of like just ten dudes?

He just cuts the line. Yeah, that's what he does. And they're all like... He does that sober too. Yeah, they're all like, what the fuck, man? I got a video of him being like, he's fucking English. They fucking think they run everything. Well, dude, in fairness, there was two bathrooms and they were so drunk. They

were only going into one. So I just walked up to the other one and went in. Yeah. I got no patience for that. I told Tommy the, when you were, we were talking about, uh, we were talking about like relationship shit one night because I was broken up with my girl. It was the first time we broke up. And we were talking to one night in Shane's room and I was just like pouring it all out and you were like, it's all right, man. Love's tough, dude, or whatever.

And then you said something dude, where you were like shit faced and you just stumbled. Shane was like, what'd you say Chris? Whoa boy, you know, whatever. One side of a twin, but it's beautiful. It's one of those old twins that was built in 1915. Potstown. No, Phoenixville.

Phoenixville. Yeah, it's red brick. Fucking best. Inside's fully revamped. Yeah. Fully modernized inside. It's a fucking pad, dude. It's dope.

When I bring chicks back there, they're like, ooh, okay. Because I decorated it. It's like, it's a fucking pad. Phoenixville is awesome, too. It's the best. So fucking nice. You gotta come, dude.

I'll come up there. I got a spare bedroom, dude. You fucking come and hang out. Bring your girl if you want. I've invited Chris and Sadie. I want you guys all to come down. You guys can all come up here. I got a spare bedroom, dude. You can fucking come and hang out. Bring your girl if you want. I've invited Chris and Sadie. I want you guys all to come down. You guys can all come at once. You guys can take my two bedrooms and I'll fucking sleep on the couch or something.

I don't care. But yeah, dude, they shut the main street down now. Every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Oh, and the summers, yeah. For parades? No. Just to get fucked up? So everybody can drink in the street.

It becomes full open container. That's great. There's stands everywhere selling jello shit. Yeah. For parades? No. Just to get fucked up? So everybody can drink in the street, it becomes full open container. That's great. There's stands everywhere selling jello shots and shit. Media does that. It's a fucking lot. It's incredible. So fun, dude.

Yeah, it's more Delco like it's like a, just all the parents. So fun, dude. They bring their kids and dogs and you just get fucked up in the streets. I know all the owners of all the best bars, they're all comedy fans. You go in, they fucking hook you up.

Like, it's so fun. And drinking in a small town fucking rules. Yeah. And then my house is fun for drinking. I got a good drinking house. You got bang. Yeah, yeah. You can imagine.

Doesn't take much design. You just have to enter it. Yeah. This is a good drinking chair. I got a stock bar, you chair. I got a stock bar. I got a drinking toilet. Fair enough. No I like Phoenixville.

It's popped off as of late. I mean that used to be a fucking ghost town. Fitzsimmons was in town this weekend. Yes. It was great seeing him. Yeah. He asked me the craziest question though. What did he say? My friend was in town this weekend. Yes, I was hanging out with him. It was great seeing him. Yeah. He asked me the craziest question though.

What did he say? He goes, how long are you in town for? I go, I pretty much live here most of the time now. He goes, that's great, man. Who are you living with? I go, I'm almost 50. He was like, legit ask me that. I was like, who are you living with? I was like, how bad that. Who you living with?

I was like, how bad do you think I'm doing? Chris and Tommy. Maybe he meant like are you married? I don't know. It's a crazy question. We lived together up until like three, four years, three years ago, four years ago. It was a great time. Yeah, it was fucking great.

Up to 35 I was living with him and Shane. I wish I would have I I we you and I were talking about this the other night You guys cuz you know, I consider you guys very very good friends at this point But I wish I feel you guys are guys. I feel like I lost time By not knowing you guys sooner. Yeah. There were ships in the night. You left for New York right when we came in.

Yeah. I met everybody when I used to go back and do the lizard lounge. Yeah, yeah. And Shane won't let me live it down. He's like, yeah, remember the first time I met you, boy? Remember? Remember?

What, you big time him? Yeah, well, he's like, yeah, you were a big old headliner. Yeah. And I was just a dumb opener. Yeah. Well, he's like, he's like, yeah, you were a big, big old headliner. That was just a dumb opener. How does that feel? And I'm like, Shane, I didn't big time you. I should know the fuck you were. Shane really thought like when he was 22, everybody should know who he is. Yeah, of course. Of course. But so I knew Shane, I became friends with Shane right, like right before he got SNL, before all the shit happened or whatever.

So I've known him at this point considerable, like been friends with him a considerable amount of time. But like, dude, you and I had the same manager, I didn't even fucking meet you until I Mean I knew Chris I knew you cuz you would you when I became friends with Shane then Shane would bring you through Yeah, cuz you guys met like 2010 2011 I mean we might have met but we didn't know no no no no we didn't fuck around at all You were just you were headlining like an off night like a Thursday, right?

Yeah, we just talked a little bit cuz I knew of you but you guys Shane You know butterly McKeever Six like I'm like I'm like like I'm getting tighter and tighter with all you guys I know everybody had sort of different levels or whatever, but like, I'm just like, man, I lost time with these guys. Like we, fuck, I wish I would have been going into Philly more.

Yeah. You know, instead of thinking I had to keep my fucking head in New York the whole time. Well, it's the same thing. Now you start over. Yeah, it's beautiful. It's a rebirth. Yeah, it's beautiful.

But you know. You probably wouldn't have respected us as much back then as a big head It's also Now you know our power Yeah, you had been coming down there when it was just us getting Get out of my way. This is insane. This is no it's but here's here's wouldn't have, because I was always the guy. I'd go on the road, and my first question when I touched down at the club was,

where does everybody go out? And over the years, more and more frequently, less comics were drinking, more comics were getting into weed, nobody wanted to go out, the staff didn't hang out with, and it would piss me off. If I had found you guys. We are a pig farm. I would have loved it.

You would have been dead. Yeah, I would have been like, I got a fucking crew. Like, let's go. Dude, I had a co-connect. We would have been a problem. We would have had some fun. We would have had a fuck. We would have been neck braces and canes.

It is true. It was probably like God may have intervened on that one. Maybe it's good we had a few years in between. Yeah, yeah. Let's let these guys mature a little bit before they even run into each other. Yeah, dude. Yeah, that's a good point.

I remember the first few times. Because if we were around someone who actually had money. Yeah, God forbid. I didn't have any money. All right, then you went straight right in. I was making five year, 10 year headliner money, which was an unlivable wage. Yeah.

Yeah, I was making enough money to pay my rent. But no, man, it was like, oh man, yeah. I just was like, holy shit. Like it's this this is like we're so that's I honestly got like a little Not to be Corny, but like I honestly I got a little like teary when we were at the tires premiere because I was watching the show in the theater and I was just like Holy shit, man. Like this it, like look at this. It's Philly.

Yeah. It's Philly on screen, like this is it. You got Philly on screen. I was so proud to be a part of that. Felt that about Delco, that's why I love Delco, proper so much. I was like, these guys captured, me and my buddy Jim Pinkstone, we still, oh Rainey?

Yeah. Another fucking lunatic that I loved. He's here now. I know, I love that he's here., oh Rainey, another fucking lunatic that I loved. He's here, dude. I know, I love that he's here. I love Rainey. Me and my friend Jim, all the fucking time, we go, don't get socked at work, dude.

Yeah. We quote that all the time to each other. I showed him that, because he didn't know the show, and then I show, I go, dude, you gotta see this show, dude. These guys are, these guys are, because I didn't know you guys yet. Yeah I show, I go, dude, you gotta see the show, dude. These guys are, these guys are, because I didn't know you guys yet. Yeah, yeah. I was like, you guys are so fucking funny.

Yeah. And I go, dude, they're filly as fuck. Like, they really got this on camera. Yeah. And I go, watch this line. I go, don't get sucked at work, dude. I go, is there anything more filly than that? We probably know somebody that's set that.

That's what you do. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's like the best part about improv on those sets is like you just think about like what your, your retarded uncle has said at one point that made you piss your pants. Yeah. Then he flies out of your mouth. You're like, that was perfect. Keep it.

Yeah. But this is like what you guys like. It's like when I became friends with, with Q from Joker's, Brian Quinn and Brian Johnson, their podcast is Tell Them Steve Dave. They're two of the three hosts. But when I became friends with them, I said the same thing. I was like, guys, we lost years, dude. I feel like I fucking grew up with you guys.

We're exactly the same, You know what I mean? And I talked about on that pod, the barometer I always use, I go, it's like when I first saw the early Kevin Smith movies, we all watched those and we were like, these are our friends. Like he figured this out. Like they're playing fucking deck hockey. You know what I mean? They're drinking beers, they're smoking weed, they're talking about Star Wars. I'm like these are our friends.

Like this is what the fuck we did, man. And somebody finally put it on film. And I met Jason Muse two years ago, or a year ago at Skankfest. And the second I met him, dude, we talked for an hour. We just sat talking for an hour, and I was like, this fucking guy is exactly who I thought he was gonna be. You know what I mean?

I'm like, this is just wild sometimes, that weird connection. I think it's also refreshing because when you finally find that connection, it's so genuine because most of this industry and process is like you find people that you think you're gonna have a connection with. Some of that you may have looked up to for a long time.

Then you get in the green room and you're like, oh, that guy sucks. Well, that girl sucks. And then it's just like, it's so hard to find someone you fucking unite with and just has like, you don't have to say that much. Right. Yeah. You hang out and talk just like our other guests. Yeah. Yeah.

Johnny Salami is like, I just want someone to talk about tits. Just talk about nothing with and be friends like my friends from road. No industry talk of any kind. Yeah. No, no one's trying to like get something out of anything. It's just, I mean, the worst thing you could hear is like, do you think this is funny? Like get it out of your fucking mouth. I don't care to hear about a joke like that.

Let's talk about our aunt's tits. Let's have a good time. And how they affected us. Yeah. It's like, it's so funny dude. And it's without fail. I have a couple boys from back home that I hang with, the guys that I know, the guys I grew up with,

that I hang with when I go back to PA and stuff. Almost without fail, whenever I bring guys like you in, or whoever, and I'm like, yo, you got to meet my boys, they meet them and they're like, hey, you got a good crew of dude. It's the same thing. It's like, hey, you got a good crew of dude. It's the same thing. It's like, no, dude, it's like there's, there's, you know, like my buddy Scott, who's like my oldest friend in the world, you know, he was a big fan of the tires and he'll be like, what was so like, what's everybody like?

I love the show. Like, what do they like? And I'm like, they're like that. Basically, I'm like, they're they're us, dude. Like they they would fit right the fuck in, man. If they if they came and hung out with us at your house. Yeah. We wouldn't miss. I'm like, they're us, dude. They would fit right the fuck in, man. If they came and hung out with us at your house, we wouldn't miss one beat. Also, to your point, all of our friends,

your friends from home and my friends from home, they've already been vetted. So I already know this is a plug and play situation. You're gonna meet my boy Kuch. Those guys in any party situation, I sent Kuch to Shane's Halloween party. I wasn't even there. Kooch is like, are you going?

I'm like, no, I can't. I got I'm on the road or whatever. And he goes, do you think I can still go? I'm like, yeah, let me text Shane right now. And he's like, yeah, go out. We just brought his girlfriend. It's like, you miss that positive. I am that you could just plug and play.

You missed a banger that night. I'm bad. Last man standing, Last man standing. Last man standing. Me and Shane in the party room. Damn. Standing over the DJ equipment alone. That's you in the rain, Mommy Curly.

That's King Pink shit, dude. Playing each other ghetto boy songs. And rapping the one we played to the other guy. Shit face faced dude. Like absolutely shit faced. There was nothing more embarrassing the next day going, I was rapping to my buddy last night. My favorite song.

Classic Shane, classic Shane. Drunk as he was, without fail, halfway through every one of my songs, he'd be like, nah dude. Yeah. And would change it to one of his songs he'd be like nah dude yeah and would change it to one of his tracks i'm like son of a bitch shade well the crazy the crazy thing is i i like kind of transplanted into the philly thing so i i grew up in connecticut and then i came down i played at drexel lacrosse and the team was not at all what you'd think of lacrosse guys. It was like fucking slap shot.

It was all Philly guys from like not nice Philly towns. And like weird Baltimore. The lacrosse is hardcore dude. Yeah. I mean it's definitely like you know preppy and shit. But this group was like not like that at all. It was crazy. I remember like I thought it would be like this really was like not like that at all. It was crazy. I remember like, I thought it would be like

this really rigid like group. Everyone was doing coke, going to wishy washes and like I was like what the fuck have I hair dropped into? And it was, yeah, it was bananas. And like that was my first introduction to like Philly dudes. Taking me to the fucking wing bowl and shit. I was like this is heaven. It was nuts. Yeah, yeah, no, dude, that was like all the guys

I went to college with. I still keep in touch with some of them. There was this kid, Pat Gorman, who I still talk to. Shout outs to Pat Gorman if he's watching. But just one of the funniest fucking human beings I've ever met in my life and was like a walking fucking movie character. Was a walking fucking movie character.

Like, used to duel with BB guns when we got drunk. Yeah, Kuchin and I did that. Yeah, see what I mean. Kuchin and I would get flathead pellets, and we'd go pump by pump. So you'd sit a certain distance, you'd go one pump, one pump, two pump, two pump, all the way to 10.

That I did do as a, yeah!, two pump, all the way to ten. That I did. Bare chest. I just fall on your knees like platoon. Like the scene in Platoon. Bare back, bare calves, bare chest. I remember Pat dated, there was a girl on our campus, I forget her name, she was the hottest girl on campus. I mean, she was the Kim Kardashian of our campus.

She was the hottest. I bet she looks like a Kardashian of our campus. Yeah. She was the hottest. I bet she looks like a pack of hot dogs right now. Probably, wears off. God bless you. All the hot girls from high school that we went to with, I see on Instagram or Facebook, and I'm like, oh my, my buddy in our chat will send all the girls at some fucking beach resort,

and I'm like, these were the tents he was Oh, yeah, these girls were the fucking hot ones that we were all like going I buy this vying for who's gonna finger who who's gonna you know, who's gonna start a fire with a with a hard Crotch rub on Kim Gallup's couch just burnt hair. We see these parties in our building We lived in these apartments above Mama's Pizza and we had these we'd have these parties where every apartment was part of the party. Yeah, so the whole building was a... yeah. It was awesome. And he fucking...

He fucking asked his chick out and she came to the party and I remember he was like kind of like Holy shit, dude. She doesn't mean he didn't want to expose her to all this. No, no. He just was kind of like, I don't know how I pulled that off, but she's coming. Yeah. And I like her. And I think she might like me. But like this, it was B, I'm telling you, it was beyond this girl's hot. It was like she

was legendarily hot on the campus and he invited her and she said yes and she was coming. She showed up to this party. He was blacked out. He was hammered. He was no shirt on and he had a football helmet on. And she came in and she's like, hey, hi. And he goes in the other room. I remember he goes in the other room with our boy Keith and we're standing in the room and she's like, Hi. And he goes in the other room. I remember he goes into the room with our boy Keith and we're standing in the room and he's got Keith and Keith's grabbing him by the fucking front of the helmet. Give him a pep talk. Yeah. No.

And Pat's just going, Pat's just going, she ain't ready. She ain't ready for pep for me. She ain't fucking ready for pep for me. And he went out and he fucking walked up on her. I was like. It was insane. Dude, I believe every smoking hot girl wants that level of animal. Yeah.

You know, they don't want that fucking tidy boy. They want, you know, it's not even the bad guy thing. It's like they want to be exposed to fun. Because they're usually spoiled by a rich guy who has no fucking sense of humor. They don't have a pack of animals next to them. There's no fucking fun. The girls that I fell in love with,

and they would fall in love with me, I'd take them to a family party. And all the drunk aunts and uncles and cousins and shit, and they would just be like like that was a fucking blast Yeah, it's like going to a college party. Yeah, when it's a family. It's it's it's a great barometer my ex-girlfriend my ex-girlfriend The one of the first things I did with her ever We had hung out a couple times in office It's so funny to think Pat Gorman at the end of that night just just can't get his dick up

Just so fucked up The helmets on the side side table, by the way, is it so funny? He's gotta put it back on the lamp Nice to see you. I Saw him years later heat so so Pat and I still stay in touch and like he'll come to my shows every every two years Or something will come to a show But we still text here there But I saw him years later And I was doing comedy and everybody that I had gone to college with all the wild boys like had gotten Married or they were about to get married or whatever.

The fire's still there. Yeah, yeah. But no, one of the first things I did with my ex-girlfriend, we had hung out a couple times in Austin and like, I'm not even exaggerating. I think our third date ever, I flew her to Pennsylvania to stay with me in PA and I was like, I'm gonna

take her out with my fucking boys. Like I'm gonna take her out with my boys. It's a good little honey and see, see if she's cool and likes it. And she took right to it. She fucking loved it.
