You got to get that back.
It doesn't have a tag on it.
And she was like, once it's on the other side of the wall, we can't get it.
I was like, call somebody.
Like they don't go have lunch with those guys.
Like they're in a different country.
They speak a different language.
That conveyor belt is just Chick-fil-A bags.
It's no fucking snack time.
She was like, I sealed sealed it and I was like
well then where's the
receipt
the little thing

she was like
I definitely sealed it

thing that I do
I seal it
the Austin
Bergstrom
International Airport
can be a
fucking nightmare
100%
because like everything
in this city
and I love
do the fans know
where we are
yeah they know okay i'm just making sure some i don't know if y'all are doing like a bob and tom
thing we're everywhere don't say where we're all we're every city wherever our listeners are that's
where we are too generically man can you believe the team can you believe the team this weekend
and the win loss win loss tie draw the weather was nuts it was crazy this weekend and the win-loss? Win-loss tie? Draw? The weather was nuts.
It was crazy this weekend, man.
You know what I like to do?
When I get off, I like to go down to that bar and have a cold one.
A cold local one with my friends at this brewery.
Damn.
We're the opposite, dude.
I say exactly right all the time.
Let's bring Oaks.
Like that.
Someone came up with like bowling
and I was like, yeah, there's a bowling alley
like 30 seconds away.
Wait a minute.
Well, dude, that's the thing about Austin.
It's a fucking great city.
It does not have the infrastructure
to handle the sheer volume of people
that live here now.
It's Fallujah on the roads.
It's insane.
I got to get air pressure.
I got to get the air in my tires filled like every week i get the air pressure
thing coming on oh because there's just because all the rain they get for one month out of 12
months so they all dip and i'm just going wow well it's also okay so like you know i grew up in new
world this is bourbon street right we all lived in new york there's plenty of streets in new york
that are crazy but there's something about sixth street it's crazy on like a hot friday night
where it's like bro this is this is tension it's amazing there's wild tension it's amazing
the one bad look it's like a domino effect of the only thing i can compare it to is wildwood
new jersey on the weekends where like kids drinking, there's still arcades open.
Everybody's fucking around.
There's sexual aggression, but there's also male aggression
where you're just trying to fight.
You're trying to get drunk.
You're trying to fuck.
And there's bodies strewn about
that are clearly people's first night drinking.
100%.
Yeah, yeah.
Dude, last night coming home from the mothership,
I was like, everyone's getting walked.
Everyone's getting walked.
There's always a drunk
fucking idiot.
Guy or girl,
I'm like,
is this the first time
you've done this?
Yeah.
They've just never
gotten better at it.
New York is more of a
solo stumble.
Yeah.
Well, New York will allow
New York will allow
you to fall apart.
Yeah.
And just like, do it, figure it out on your own.
But it's the same thing with fighting.
You can walk past a fight in New York and be like, I got shit to do.
Yeah.
Whereas Austin still has that energy of one fight breaks out, now nine got to break out around it.
Yeah.
It's still contagious here.
Yeah.
Whereas New York, you'd be like, I don't fucking care.
I'm busy.
And here it's like, oh, wait, you're drinking?
Well, I got to drink more than you.
Yeah.
I got to drink this ranch water. This is why I more than you. Yeah. I gotta drink this ranch water.
This is why I have a great idea.
I gotta drink that ranch water.
I have a great idea.
We're in Austin.
We gotta get fucked.
We gotta get blackout
fucking shit-faced.
A great idea for a,
I'm not gonna say,
I don't think I should say it
because it's around this.
What?
About drinking competitively
around your friends
in a social environment.
Everybody does that.
I have an idea
for like casinos
and bigger bars
that shows the bartender
when you're up.
So he can just scan
instead of going
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
So like
down here it would destroy.
Wait, what?
You got a fucking
I don't think I should.
You're saying
like you're doing the thing
where you're like
I got an idea.
Cancer.
No more.
Doctors, no.
Eye contact. This substance I inject it. I got an idea. Cancer. No more. Doctors, no. Eye contact.
This substance, I inject it.
Imagine some version of having a hat that lights up when your beer is empty.
Yeah, that's sick.
Oh, I thought you were going to say like a...
Bartender knows it's time.
A beer hat.
A beer hat bar would be sick.
Once you get to a certain level, just close.
Like those flashers when your food's ready?
Yeah.
Oh, I thought you were talking about the other way.
There's just seven homeless people wearing hats.
Or like ponchos.
You just put a little flag up when you want more sopapilla.
I want more sopapilla.
I want more fucking ranch water.
A ranch water flag.
I thought you were talking about the other way where it's like a monitor of like,
oh, this guy's had nine fucking shots.
They don't care.
They don't fucking care.
It's like they don't care
and then they get pissed off
when they got to clean up an adult man's fucking hose vomit.
It's like, well, you keep serving him
fucking three wise men shots during the summer.
The owner of the bar is not fucking cleaning that up.
So he's making buko bucks
while he's fucking some sad pan. Fucking Tommy coming with that Cajun tongue. Dropping buko

Oh my God, I want to meet this guy.

That far apart
Mexicans and Italians
Really
Yeah
Why's that
Skin tone
They look alike
Oh my god
I saw the first lawyer
With Down Syndrome
And she just looks like
A Mexican lady
In a food truck
What
She's a lawyer
With Down Syndrome
You want to see a pic
Hand me that
Yeah
Tell me she doesn't look
Like every fucking...
Every mamacita giving you a carnitas.
Hold on.
Yeah, someone was saying that the other night,
that, like, Down syndrome people, like,
can't get a driver's license.
She's a lawyer.
You definitely can.
I think if you, like, if you have Down syndrome
and you pass the bar, you pass the bar.
Tell me she's not asking you on Verde or Red.
Yeah. look at this
that's the first down switch for me
that would be great
there's a few good men
am I wrong in assuming
I mean we're all thinking it
we're all thinking it
but then the
that has a whole
that hits completely differently
that hits completely differently.
That hits completely differently.
She's pointed backwards.
She's not even looking at the... Jesus Christ.
What I mean, am I wrong when I say
that Down syndrome people,
there's no actual mental...
There's no actual...
There's no actual mental affect.
Like, it's not actually mental.
They're not actually dumber.
Or, like, not...
Yeah, I think you're right.
They're not less intelligent.
I think the intelligence level's on par.
It's just like the...
Yeah.
We had this argument the other day.
That's why they can be a lawyer.
Because lawyers are the same way.
They're just so socially inept.
Tommy doesn't think they're, like, self-aware.
What?
Wait, what?
We got in this argument the other day.
They just don't know?
He doesn't think they know that they have guns.
Chris, when we talk about cars, it doesn't have to come up here.
They definitely do.
Chris hates black people.
You guys, you're both of these guys.
Both of these guys have been radicalized by Islam.
Did you know that?
Oh, sorry.
We don't bring that up.
That's why we came here, just to hide in the woods.
No, dude, the fucking...
The truth is killing me, dude.
It's a whole new scene.
And it's so funny.
Dude, that whole scene is just a Down syndrome lawyer.
Yeah, it's just about who ate all the cookies.
Oh my god. Halfway through her argument,
she pulls out a PB&J.
I mean, or the scene where they're
in the apartment discussing the case.
They're like, can I have the bat, please?
What'd you do with my bat?
Never put that bat in your closet.
Never put that bat in your closet. Never put that bat
in the closet.
It's my lucky bat.
It's a whole
baseball.
It's a whole new script.
It's a whole new
You don't have to
change a line.
Yeah.
What a sketch.
Somehow it's a new movie.
It's the reboot.
What a great sketch
we could never do oh man i mean the
uh i oh my god i would never i would now i want to hire this lawyer yeah oh yeah dude no i want to
a simple just straight up like get to get it done i want to see a simple fender bender i'll spend
what i can just we just go get in a wreck right now yeah I'll get I'll smash into a tray
dude it would be the ultimate
like defense attorney
because if the prosecutor
was like being a dick
and saying the defense
was like
like make
playing games
or whatever
like lying
the whole jury
would be like
Jesus
man
100%
this is the fucking
this is the problem
the defense is playing games
you look over
she's playing connect 4
like it's part of my process The defense is playing games. You look over, she's playing Connect Four.
It's part of my process.
She's playing Twister.
She's eating a mat.
It's part of my process.
That's like the problem with... I'm sorry to say this, but...
They're going to get up here.
They're going to mislead you gonna They're gonna mislead you
They're gonna lie to you
You gotta think
At the end of the day
The facts are the
You gotta think
There's like an emotional element
To going like
And personal going
This other
This other side of the coin
Is making some great points
Clearly this defendant
Is in the wrong
But then she's
Yeah a jury's gonna assume
And the jury's like,
give her a fucking dub, dude.
They're going to assume that she's incapable of deception.
And that everything she says is the
God honest truth. And you're saying, with Down syndrome,
you're capable of all this stuff?
Oh, definitely. Yeah, yeah.
So she can read...
They play games.
This is also
a crazy new angle
to be like,
they're fucking with my head.
They're the Illuminati.
They've been this whole time.
They're the shadow government.
No, no, no.
I've been trying to get along with them.
They just quit fucking with me.
You call them lizard people, okay?
They've been running the show
this whole time.
They're a lot sharper than
the guys convinced down syndrome people are running the world
don't let your damn i ran into every type of
asshole when i was up in new hampshire i had two oh yeah yeah it's first day first time i've seen
you in 10 i went i went to an i went to a little island on this lake with my brother,
and we were walking.
Squam?
Yeah, yeah.
People have said New Hampshire is the Down syndrome of states.
It's crazy.

walking anomaly
in every limbo.

You can't relocate.
That's where we're broadcasting.
That's where we're at right now, Sean.
You didn't notice we got on a boat six hours ago?
We got here pretty quick.
Dude, this lady...
Because people camp on this island at night,
but we were there at like 2.30 in the afternoon.
Yeah.
And you have like a tiny little campsite where you can like put a tent.
And this lady and her husband had strewn shit just all over this, like these rocks with this like nice view.
Yeah.
And we were walking, we were walking towards it because it's like a place we went to as kids.
Yeah.
And we're walking over there and she's like, trails that way.
She like stepped out.
She's like, trails the other way.
And we were like, what? Yeah. We're going over there. She was like, can way she like stepped out she's like trails the other way and we were like what yeah we're going over there she was like can't come this way oh my god and then we
were like all right we just walked right by her and she turned around and stood like furiously
and then we went to these rocks and we were just standing there for two seconds
and her and her husband came over they had had two giant chairs set up, like fucking lawn chairs.
Sat in them and turned on a radio.
A radio.
See, that husband needs to be knocked out.
To just be annoying.
Yeah.
I don't like land gatekeepers like that.
It's like...
Me and my cousin were cutting through a golf course once.
And this lady came fucking at us wielding a thing.
And we were like...
We were on a three-wheeler, so we could outrun her.
You're on a trike?
Yeah, we're on a fucking...
We're straight up fucking three-wheeling
through a golf course.
And she came, get off this goddamn car!
Oh, you're kind of wrong.
This is my different.
We were able to get away.
So I was like, well, one time I was shitting on this guy's lawn,
and he came out with a fucking golf club.
It's biodegradable.
All right, nature.
You fucking jerk.
I'm fertilizing.
Wait, I mean, okay, in that situation,
it's you and your brother and then them two.
See, I'm with you.
The problem is,
I worry that people like that
just bought their,
they both have,
they got a brand new Smith & Wesson.
Yeah.
And they're dying to use it. Yeah, yeah yeah they're dying to like push the push a button this is like a tiny island that's open to like the public people are there kind of hanging out
and it's also like if i went to the rocks and see your fucking chairs and your radio and your like
swim goggles and shit it's like i'm not gonna stick around yeah i'm
gonna leave i was gonna leave no matter once i saw you've already made this uncomfortable yes
i don't need your music and your i'd have to be as psycho as you to interfere in whatever you've
got going on yeah you fucking piece of shit yeah that's why when i hit a beach you don't own that
when i get off the fucking don't tell them in in New York don't tell them what if they do

at communicating

like a speech impediment does it make some
sound like a fucking jerk off the whole time yeah they talk every time yeah but this isn't that i

You're like a demon dog park.
True.
People see you and go, I can vent shit that has nothing to do with him on this friendly
I get this.
Now I understand what you're saying.
I bet people have out of nowhere crossed the street and been like, you know what?
I'm sick of paying fucking bills.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you're like, what does that have to do?
I'm not the guy.
Then why are you here?
Yeah.
That's what happened with the luggage lady. was like fuck this guy just threw my clothes
people just approach you like my kids are fucking dog shit i'm not their dad
and like then why are you here dude i think like people see you and like just little shit that has
nothing to do with you that they meant to say to someone else who was too frightening
or just too angry looking, they see you and they're like,
I'm going to take it out on this guy.
I like this.
You get shit taken out on you a lot.
I almost want that.
I get walked on in bars.
In a way, I get disrespected.
So do I.
I get disrespected.
You look like you own every bar you're in.
Yes, that's why you shouldn't be on my fucking ass.
I'll be sitting in a bar stool.
Dude, I swear to God, if I was on an air vent on the ceiling,
there would be dudes climbing behind me to order a drink.
I could be by myself.
You?
There's 50 of them.
Yes.
I don't know what it is because I give off this vibe like you shouldn't bother me.
I'm in my own fucking...
You have, I own a successful chain of hookah bar energy.
Bingo. Thank you so much, John. This guy's giving out compliments. You have, I own a successful chain of hookah bar energy.
Bingo.
Thank you so much, John.
This guy's giving out compliments.
If I didn't know you, I love that you took that as a compliment. I know.
I love also, like if I didn't know you,
I would expect you to have like a thick Armenian accent.
Like if I was like, oh man, I like your spot.
You're the guy like, you like?
Make me offer right now.
You make me offer today today I throw in 2012
Honda Sonata
I can't wait to get rid of this
yeah
you're like
I can't believe
yeah I would
I would assume
that oh that guy owns this place
yeah
that's
that is the thing
is that if you're sitting quietly
and respecting the bar
people see that as an alley
to the bartender
oh yeah
if you're making a mess people stay
away from it so that you're a funnel for orders these kids don't know how to drink here they don't
know how to drink they don't know how to just consume alcohol they don't know how to operate
in a bar no matter what age like just sitting minding your own business there's dudes that like
should get it right but they were never raised in an environment that they either got punched or got like checked yeah so they just they migrate around you and
they're loud talking girls will bump you without saying sorry yeah and then now i'm like i get like
fucking worked up like i found this bar you people weren't there yeah and the sixth street just
starts fucking bleeding into these bar areas that I like and I protect.
Well, something I've long said about Austin, and I do love it here, but also every bar is constantly trying to be an event.
Yes.
Every bar is constantly trying to be the coolest, the most exclusive, the spot.
Or just be a bar.
Just be a fucking dive bar that people just want to be at and drink at
and have conversations at.
There are some outside of the city.
There's a place...
Sure, sure.
There's a place...
They're off the beaten trail.
But New York,
the genuine sort of quiet watering hole
is everywhere.
Oh, yeah.
You've got a bunch of just shitty neighborhood
perfect dive bars.
Here they turn an Irish pub
into a fucking hookah bar
with fucking, you know,
techno music.
I mean, talk to any
old school Austinian
about Old Rainy Street.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Like Old Rainy Street.
Like, I got to see
the tail end of that
coming here early on
and that shit was magical.
Really?
Just shit.
It was just houses
turned into bars.
Yeah, it was like
just cottages.
Yeah, and they were all
like divey, weird,

This is a festival based.
There's a place called El Camino that keeps its.
Yeah, it's true.

shit themselves
on the street.
My Uncle Terry

for the banana
crime fam.
You don't think he sleeps ever again
i said this when we first got down here that the the homeless like new york i feel like you have
a pretty stock they're crazy but it's a stock homeless kind of guy oh there's a homogen there's
a yeah wait i'm saying i'm trying to say homogenization. Hobogenization?
Yeah.

It's avant-garde. It's not for everyone. Yeah. gorgeous. Just wears a diaper. Shits herself. It's up on guard. It's up on guard.
It's not for everyone.
Yeah.
One of the most fascinating
points of quarantine
was going,
because I was still doing
a podcast on like 35th
in Times Square.
Oh, really?
Oh, yeah.
It's the only way
I could make fucking rent
because I never got
the $1,200.
I never got unemployment
due to 1099 income.
They just,
they were over,
they overworked just they were over yeah
they just overworked
and they were like
I can't
I couldn't get through
I was like fuck
I gotta make money
and the homeless
it was just me
and the homeless
I got a video
of just me and Times Square
like doing like a fucking
Instagram roundabout
yeah
but you still see
creepy crawlers
and the creepy crawlers
are just separated
you've never seen
the homeless separated
the way they are in Austin
in New York
other than quarantine.
They're just all isolated.
Open.
Yeah, yeah.
They ruled the roost
in Times Square, yeah.
That was crazy.
It's like Philly.
Well, in Brooklyn
there are homeless guys
who I like know
because they're in my neighborhood.
I've been in the same neighborhood
for a while
and they're not
fully homeless.
Yeah.
Like they got
fresh kicks on sometimes
and they clearly bathe once a day. They're halfway house guys. Yeah. Like they got fresh kicks on sometimes.
Yeah.
And they clearly bathe once a day.
They're halfway house guys.
Yeah.
But they'll roll up in the, they all have a similar pitch.
Like me and David Cross, like live, you know, I toured with David.
I opened for him.
Yeah.
Right?
We live in the same neighborhood.
And it wasn't until like halfway through the tour last year where we realized like, oh, we both are, we both give money to the same guy oh really dude
named joshua yeah it's same fuck we bought oh yeah that guy same kick same same pitch same thing
where it's like what's his routine well his thing is he'll come up and he'll ask you for a specific
amount and it'll always be to get into man if i get 350 i can eat tonight and that's but sometimes
like how about just a 20 for the week he'll like
ask oh it's nice yeah and like but it all it all happened for me five two but then sometimes but
then sometimes he rolls off me like dude you know not for another week and he's like sorry sorry
how you doing you know he knows your name really remember you but like the thing is this was pre
pandemic i had just done a bunch of spots on a, you know, Saturday night in New York.
And I'm back in Brooklyn.
I'm kind of hammered.
I see him.
And I'm like, you know what?
And I just had maybe, you know, $300 in spot pay on me.
And I was just like, here, bro.
No.
Fuck it.
I was just drunk.
I was like, fuck, you know what?
Here, man.
I had a good night.
And then the next day, I was like.
He asked you again.
No, but the next day, I was like, oh, I might have killed him.
Yeah. I gave him $300 fucking shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. and then the next day I was like he asked you again no but the next day I was like oh I might have killed him yeah
I gave him 300 fucking
yeah yeah yeah
but if he remembers your name
you'd think he's not just
well no
the next time I saw him
he didn't ask for shit
he was just like
thank you again
but then one time
10 weeks
but then one time
I saw him
and I was like
I don't have any cash
he's like
can I just get some groceries
and I was like
alright
and we went into like
a little
like one of those
like higher end bodegas you know where it's like they fancy it up of course and he he wanted raw chicken breast
because he's like i'm a cook right got him some raw chicken thighs some oat milk he got all this
crazy shit and then i saw it and i went to a bar to meet some people and then like i saw maybe
40 minutes later selling trying to sell it oh my my God. And I was like, Joshua.
Yeah.
And he's like,
oh man,
Josh.
And he would show his face when he saw me
and he saw the disappointment
and the next time I saw him,
he was like,
he was,
you could tell he was embarrassed.
Oh my God.
I mean,
three things upon us.
I get it, man.
You gotta do what you gotta do.
But he was trying to sell,
trying to sell it.
And the fact
of that like but but then i'm like maybe there are people who buy it though because that happened
to my aunt i had an aunt r.i.p but she was a legit crackhead like full-on yeah addicted to crack
would come in and out of our life one time she stayed with us for a month and when she left
she left behind in a matchbook a crack rock, right?
And I was like, that's a crack rock.
And you smell it.
You're like, oh, that's crack.
And I brought it to high school.
I was a 10th grader.
I brought it.
I was just showing people the crack rock all day.
And one guy I knew was like, dude, let me get that from you.
I was like, are you going to smoke?
He's like, no, I'm going to fucking sling it, player.
I'm like, no, whatever.
And he's like, let me get it from you. I'm like, 10 bucks.
And he gave me 10 bucks. And I was like, shit, I'm a legit crack. I'm like, whatever. And he's like, let me get it from you. I'm like, 10 bucks. And he gave me 10 bucks.
And I was like, shit, I'm a legit crack.
I sold crack.
Yeah.
I've sold crack to a guy.
I'm in this now.
Right.
Yeah.
But she, the last time she got busted was because she was going into a Schweigman's.
It's a grocery chain in Louisiana.
Not Wegmans.
Schweigman's.
Schweigman's.
Just Jew Wegmans?
I mean, is there a Wegmans?
Oh, Wegmans, yeah.
Schwegmans.
It doesn't exist anymore, but yeah, Schwegmans.
It was called Schwegmans.
Joshua Schwegmans.
Joshua Schwegmans.
That was the change they made when they went national.
Schwegmans, you remember?
Well, it was Winn-Dixie.
Winn-Dixie's still there.
Now you got Rouse's, Piggly Wiggly, but Schwegmans.
She was going into one, shoplifting,
and peddling the shit out in the parking lot.
And she got busted, but they had her on camera
actually making a couple sales,
which I'm like, that is mind-boggling to me.
There's people like, oh, wait, honey,
I know we need to pick up stuff for the barbecue tomorrow.
However, this woman over here who smells like burnt hair,
she says we can get this half-eaten
mega container of
warm cold cuts
for just two
cigarettes at a dollar.
We got to do it.
Schweigman's prices, if you can
resell that at a profit.
Schweigman's prices.
There was a certain clientele they wanted there.
You find a way to undercut that. That's business. There was a certain clientele they wanted there. You find a way to undercut that,
that's business.
My aunt was a pure
free market capitalist, dude.
And they put her...
The government
took her down for that.
Imagine trying to save
a couple bucks
on raw chicken
from a woman
in a diaper.
My aunt is RFK Jr.
She just transitioned.
She's not dead.
She just transitioned, bro.
Dude, that is Joshua's big mistake
and his chicken.
Yeah.
Chicken's the hardest thing
to resell.
Yeah, yeah.
I wouldn't even buy chicken
resold from you.
If you walk in here with Sean,
extra chicken.
Hey, I got these extra chicken breasts.
I'm like, thanks so much, dude.
Chicken thighs.
A, chicken thighs.
B, you know, that fucking air-compressed, tightly sealed. That doesn't matter. these extra chicken breasts I'd be like thanks so much dude chicken thighs A chicken thighs B it was that
you know that
fucking air compressed
tightly sealed
you don't know how long
this fucking animal's
been in the heat
yeah it was at night
you think he's keeping it cool
yeah
he can't even keep himself cool
he's got a
he's got a whole enterprise
I don't know about
I can imagine reselling
all kinds of chips
yeah
yeah
well also
almond milk
something that doesn't
give you fucking sickness that doesn't give you
fucking sickness.
Yeah.
Doesn't make you
throw up out your ass.
He said,
when he came at me
with the whole thing
of almond milk,
I was like,
almond milk?
He's like,
I love this shit.
I just drink it.
I'm like,
probably does.
Yeah.
That's on you.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, that was on me.
You didn't see
any of this coming.
I fell for it all.
Almond milk.
I was like,
I know him.
I know Joshua.
And they're like,
yeah, he's also a street urchin
for a reason
you know
what he's a good dude
why don't these
get a nice mark up
on the almond milk
for sure
all the major
intersections
in Brooklyn
hell yeah
have like
that's where the homeless guys go
in Austin
so they just sit in the middle
of you know
a four way
they got signs
dogs you know why don way They got signs Dogs
You know
Why don't they have Venmo
Right
Do you think this is like
Yeah
You know when you
You go to a concert
Or whatever
You're passing somebody going
Sorry man I don't have change
And they're selling something
Like well we can Venmo
And then you're like
I don't have
A bank account
And you're like fuck
And you just back flip
Out of that conversation
Yeah
Like these homeless dudes Just be backflip out of that conversation.
Like these homeless dudes would just be holding
like the fuck.
Backflip out of the conversation.
Do a printout
of your Venmo.
I wonder if they're
walking around being like,
I gotta get my hands
on a QR code, man.
I mean, yes.
No, but I'm saying like,
to your point,
there's gotta be homeless people
that are not truly homeless.
They're just struggling.
And a lot of these signs
will say that.
Now they have phones.
I've seen guys with phones.
They'll say I'm not homeless.
And girls.
Women can be homeless too. They are now. I'm not homeless. And girls. Women can be homeless, too.
They are now.
This is an equality-based podcast.
They're much better at it.
You have to have a bank account, right?
So I wonder if the conundrum there is like,
if this guy has a Venmo,
now I feel like you're fucking me.
But I don't have cash.
A lot of people don't have cash these days.
You don't walk around with a lot of cash, typically.
So you roll with it.
There's no more change in the compartment like there used to be in the 90s.
Yeah.
Like, you're not like...
There's also something about, like, I don't know.
I'm to a point now with digital stuff where it almost feels like you're getting an STD.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, it's infecting you forever.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like, I don't want to make digital contact with someone I don't trust.
Oh, yeah.
You know? Then you're, yeah, then you're like... Yeah. Tethered to them forever? Yeah, yeah. It's like I don't want to make digital contact with someone I don't trust. Oh, yeah. You know.
Then you're like
tethered to them forever.
Yeah, they know
something about me.
I got robbed in Vegas
by two whores.
Robbed?
Robbed.
How?
Via fucking,
not Venmo.
Zelle?
Cash app.
Cash app?
Cash app.

And then I got, I got.
Tommy, I love you.
I shut it down.
But Jesus Christ.
Dude.
Unlocked your phone

I'm walking around doing impressions.
Yeah.
I love how that story gets no sympathy.
I'm like, I got robbed at Skank Fest.
It's like, no shit, idiot.
I unlocked my phone and gave them my social security number.
I was joking.
Yeah, the girls were nice.
They were just talking to me,
not doing anything.
In Vegas, of all places.
Jesus Christ.
I mean, you don't even need
this gang fest purse.

Yeah, Old Vegas.
Fremont.

You ever done
a weekend in Reno?
A long time ago.
Yeah.
I remember being more
like,
wow,
everyone's a conspiracy theorist
and high.
In Reno.
In Reno.
I found Reno,
yeah.
Insane.
Reno felt
the exact opposite of Vegas.
It's frightening.
It's like if...
It's almost a movie about
the shitty part of Vegas, and they
just amp it up. Like it's all
people carrying their limbs.
They're all crackheads outside.
There's nobody outside except for inside these
shitty fucking casinos.
It's like Atlantic City.
Worse. Imagine Atlantic City
times 10.
Whoa.
It's the worst place on earth.
But,
Atlantic City,
if some,
I wish some fucking billionaire
would just go
and pump some money
into Atlantic City.
They already did that.
It's the biggest fucking
real estate.
Trump did that
back in the day.
Trump lost,
but what's the,
Revel.
Remember Revel?
They put like a billion dollars
into this new casino
thinking it's going
to start pushing
high money and
high real estate.
No.
I think it was
called Revel.
I'm going to get
shit about this but
it's like the
largest casino
construction.
It was the biggest
bust in real estate
history.
And it just went
to shit?
Was it in like the
90s though?
Or was it like?
No early to I
think it was like
2010.
Because it's got
the bone structure to be awesome. Yeah. was like 2010. It's not that long ago.
It's got the bone structure.
It's beautiful.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's beautiful.
That's the fucking boardwalk.
You can go right to Stone Army.
You can go right up there.
Yeah, yeah.
Right up the coast.
The boardwalk, dude.
Yeah, but nobody lives.
And the people that live down the shore in the winter,
they're fucking animals.
They're not coming.
I mean, obviously, they'd like to go to a casino.
But you don't go south. You stay in your your little pit i mean yeah you get you get two blocks
off that boardwalk you're like damn it's crazy this is some fucking tupac elliptic 100 this

Yeah, there's people
shitting in the street.
The worst comedy club
in the world was in,
it's gone now,
but it was in the Tropicana
in Atlantic City.
What was it called?
Comedy Stop.
The Comedy Stop.
It was the worst fucking place.
Really?
The worst fucking place.
It was early on
when I,
the first agent I ever had,
I liked him
because he was honest and he called me once. He's I ever had, I liked him cause he was honest
and he called me once.
He's like, listen, I got a week for you cause you do the full week.
You do Sunday to Monday.
Yeah.
No, Monday to Sunday.
Oh wow.
You did the full week.
And he was like, it's a feature.
It's feature.
The pay is not insane.
Uh, but you don't have anything this week.
It's a two weeks away.
You, you want it?
Uh, I was like, yeah, you know, you know young young comic i'm like yeah yeah yeah
he's like all right you're gonna hate it you are it's like this is not gonna be your vibe but it's
good for you to grow and it's money and i was like you know what fuck yeah and after the very first i
was featuring 20 minute spots after my very first set they're waiting for me after i get off stage
like come on and they bring bring me into the manager's office
and I get on the phone with the owner.
There's this dude named Bob Kephart, for anybody
who knows. And he's an older
fucking douchebag. I think
he's dead now, RIP, but like, he was
a dirtbag. But he
watches all the shows from
his home. Live? Live. So I
get on the phone with him and he's like,
well, he goes,
how did you think that went?
I'll never forget this.
I was like,
well, you know,
it was a little bumpy
but I think I got him by the end.
He's like, okay.
I didn't.
I thought I was terrible.
He said,
that might have been
the worst performance
I've ever seen on my stage.
And I was just like, okay.
And he's like,
so I'm bringing in
another feature tomorrow.
You're both going to go on
and whoever has the better set
keeps the week.
That's just how it's got to go,
bud. And he hung up. I was was like that's fucking psycho oh my god and i like went out got you know
afterward to get some drinks and then called my agent at home and he lived in la so i was like
dude fuck this what the fuck i was a little hammered and he goes listen i hear you if you
want to get back on a fucking bus or train go back to New York tomorrow I get it
or
just give it this one more set
see if you could
get something out of it
just see
and I was like
alright
and me and this other guy
this Philly guy
I can't remember his name
but he was
Philly tacky
Philly fucking guy
I don't
I'm sure you guys
if I can remember his name
you're like
oh that guy
but we both go up
and we both do fine.
What year is this?
2010.
11, 2011.
Can you describe him?
You if you sucked.
All right.
You know what I mean?
Like,
well,
like muscular,
good looking dude,
but his acts,
oh,
what do you do?
Suck his cock?
Yeah, yeah.
You know,
like that,
just very like. Who would that be? Nice enough, yeah yeah you know like that just very like
who would that be
nice enough dude
but the shit was just
very basic
and
uh
afterwards
the Bob was there
the owner was there
that night
we go into the room
and he's like
I like both your sets
I'm keeping both of you
so we just had this
week where we were
both doing shorter
feature spots
but he kept us
and we both did a fucking full week.
And it was, I hated it so much.
I hate everything.
They put you up in a shitty condo,
and then you're just in the Tropicana, which is a dumbass, not fun.
Oh, my God.
And I hated it, and then thought I was never going to go back.
And then, like, two months later, my agent was like,
they're offering you a headline a week.
Let's go.
And I was like, you know what?
Fuck it.
I took it just to be like, whatever. You know what you're getting now yeah and that was even worse that was that was just even worse like every set i just ate it wait did you do the
same material no i mean it was it was a it was made i say a few months it was probably almost
a year later but i just remember it wasn't a full year but that week they were nice to me because i was headlining yeah but they were just the show sucked and the guy was there every night but he never
watched my set but he would do that thing afterwards he was like great set i'm like there's
no way you thought yeah that was but it was just worse being there and like the people that show
up to that shit well they're all is horrific they're also all just lost whatever amount of money they
put up to gamble they're in atlantic city they were all a lot you said camden i remember being
a lot of camden people yeah a lot or a lot of philadelphia people like that what's that other
is camden new jersey yeah across the river from yeah that area yeah yeah thank you yes a lot of
that shit yeah a lot of people coming out of the woods.
They seek out entertainment.
The Pine Barrens.
Yeah, or the woods.
They seek out entertainment because they're disgusting fucking animals.
Dude.
And they go to casinos and then they go, oh, there's a comedy thing going on.
Yeah.
And they're either ticketing it or they just go, this will be fun.
I've never done this before.
Yeah.
They're not fans of comedy, obviously.
So you just, you have the worst. Old. I've never done this before you're not fans of comedy obviously so you just
you have the worst
old
I've never once
had a good
old time
there's old people
there's like a wheelchair section
yeah
nobody's fucking
having fun
and then you just
well I remember the guy
the guy who was headlining
when I did it the first time
was straight up
doing street jokes
yeah
straight the fuck
murdering
murder
yeah like just laying the place to pieces yeah yeah was straight up doing street jokes. Yeah. Straight the fuck up. Murdering? Murdering.
Yeah.
Like, just laying the place to pieces.
Yeah, yeah.
I remember, dude, I do remember this.
I do remember this.
The host that first time was this old motherfucker
who I know, I've heard is still alive
and lives in Peru now, just retiring.
This dude named Cork Proctor.
Right?
Exactly.
And he was old as shit and he fucking he fucking he
would do just like basic crowd work i remember he had bits that were like well folks i work clean
but i think it's time to get a little risky so i'm gonna say the f word let's all say it together
on three one two three four closure all, four. Closure. Alright?
You gotta remember, buy when the market's low
and pay your mortgage.
Pay your mortgage. It ruins
a lot of lives. Oh my god.
It was shit like that. He'd be like,
he's like, you know what
ruins a lot of marriages? Infidelity.
Why would you cheat on your
loved ones, you know? You gotta
be faithful, folks. It was a lot of applause-breaking shit. But it was a on your loved ones? Oh, my God. You've got to be faithful, folks.
It was a lot of applause-breaking shit.
But it was a lot of also like life lessons because he was so old.
You know what I mean?
Where he's like, I tell you, you know what this guy's problem is?
He's not flossing.
I can see that from here, sir.
And you're going to regret that when you get gingivitis.
And it was just like, but we, I became obsessed with him.
And we found a clip of his from like the Bob Hope show.
Like, was it Bob Hope?
Or Dick?
What's the other guy?
Dick Clark?
Dick Clark, maybe.
It was one of those guys.
And Cork did a set.
It was like a show that was not on for very long.
He did a set.
He was doing crowd work for his TV set.
Seriously.
He was like, where are you from?
And someone was like, Burbank.
Like, how's that highway coming along and it's like 1981 this is a big shot dude cork brock but he was such a sweet old man he lives in peru now from
what i heard last i brought him up someone brought him up once i was like tell me you know cork
proctor yeah and they're like yeah it was some Yeah. And they were like, yeah. It was some Vegas comic.
They were like, he retired years ago.
He lives in Peru.
And I was like, that's, thank you.
I'm so happy to know that about you.
What a sweet story.
Cork Proctor.
They could make a living and like just be?
Well, a lot of Americans, that's a lot of expats.
You make enough money, you can just move to certain parts of South America and just live off it.
You make 150 grand, you can live for 25 years. Yeah. In certain parts of South America and just live off it you make 150 grand
you can live for 25 years
yeah
in certain parts
just having the best life
and just like
you know
a middle class life
I'm sure
but that's most of those
yeah
just living a peaceful
chill life
go to the beach
learn Spanish
do some ayahuasca
yeah
it's all fucking kids
come out of an ayahuasca
out of an ayahuasca trip
like you know what
we all have an inner child and i'll tell
you right now that inner child needs to go to school yeah it needs an education it's important
it's a foundation i've seen the end and beginning of all things and guess what there's a doormat
wipe your feet no one wants to bring germs into the infinity and beyond. I'm doing Buzz Lightyear now.
There is a sweetness to like
just knowing somebody could just be so
fucking average like that.
Dude, the moving to another
country, that's
my game plan. He's fleecing
us. It's amazing.
I mean, that's also...
You work the Tropicana for a couple years and then
you just we would kick on down in peru well vegas now open a pizza place yeah vegas now has a pretty
good comedy scene he's got a bunch of clubs and shit yeah but apparently because he i remember
him telling me how he started in vegas and was every year they didn't have comedy clubs there
forever yeah it was just you're opening for fucking wayne newton yeah yeah it's like your your act is your bits are gonna be fucking crazy i'll tell you right
now after my ayahuasca bender i don't even know i know one thing we're all matter that's all we
are is matter you know what that matter needs to do exercise all? You'll want to keep your heart pumping.
It is crazy.
Learning to do comedy in a casino.
Dude.
It's like, yeah.
In front of a bunch of...
A plant growing next
to a power plant.
You're stunted forever.
Dude, that's fucking...
That's funny.
Oh, Atlantic City.
What if it were...
What if it like...
If the multiverse is real,
there's a version of life where
Atlantic City is Austin
right now
where everyone's
trying to live there
I'd go right away
where comedy motherships
on the fucking boardwalk
oh yeah
you know what I mean
I'd go in a fucking heartbeat
you know
just living on
go gamble
and then when you lose
all your fucking money
walk into the Atlantic bro
see if it's
pitch back out
yeah
if that'd be so
funny, if Rogan was a huge surfer.
The mothership's in
French Polynesia.
Just fucking ripping chokers.
Just mitzvahs in Sea Isle.
Just fingering all these 23-year-olds again.
God. Again.
I miss the beach. That's the worst God. Again. I miss the beach.
That's the worst part about here.
I miss the beach.
I miss going to the ocean.
You're an ocean guy?
Oh, yeah.
Big time.
I sit on the ocean.
I'll sit on the beach for eight hours, ten hours,
till the sun up, sun down.
You ever been to Costa Rica?
Yeah, I have been to Costa Rica.
I got shit on by a monkey in Costa Rica.
By a monkey?
By a monkey.
That's good luck, right?
It's like rain on your wedding day.
Yeah, I was doing the
zip line.
And a monkey took a shit on you?
What?
I wasn't doing the zip. I was in the fucking box
with the other...
With the helmet on?
My whole shit, yeah.
Just dumped all over my hairy arm.
And the monkey's like, I can order a drink
over this guy. I can probably take a shit on like, I can order a drink over this guy.
I can probably take a shit on him.
I'm ordering two bananas over this wine.
Wait, were you in Jayco?
Huh?
Were you in Jayco?
No, I went to Steps Beach.
Okay.
No, Steps Beach was Puerto Rico.
We went to...
Tamarindo.
Maybe.
Gotta be Tamarindo.
It was a resort, though.
We fucked up.
It was young.
I was like 22.
Okay. Instead of going outside the resorts, I went fucked up. It was young. I was like 22. Okay.
Instead of going outside the resorts, I went to an all-inclusive.
I got fucking cooked.
Day one, I got there at 4 p.m.
I'm like, there's no UVs.
I was like, I'm tanned.
I'll be fine.
Dude, the impression I put on my leg was like a Tempur-Pedic.
Like a memory foam.
You could press in, and it stayed indented for like 30 minutes.
The skin was just
fucked.
Only an East Coast
Italian
can make an age
sound like an insult.
Like,
22.
You said a number.
I was like,
God,
there was so much
vitriol.
I was like,
you got 22.
You're like,
oh God.
Why are you saying
this about yourself?
Tommy,
you're a good guy.
I'm 22.
Come on, bro.
We've all been 22 before.
I say I start the sentence like that going, excuse what I've done after that.
I know, I know.
But dude, that's fucking.
Why'd you say Costa Rica?
We're going there for my brother's bachelor party.
Oh, nice.
In January.
Have you ever been?
I've never been, no.
I've never, yeah, I've never been either.
That's great.
I've never seen clear water.
Really?
Yeah.
It's interesting, but there's no fucking surf.
When there's no surf, I'm out. I'm out after
like 20 minutes. Costa Rica should have
surf. This is not fun unless there's like golden tits
coming out of it. I'm more of a
Lake Rivers lagoon guy.
Yeah. That's my shit.
I mean, yeah.
Yeah, you know what I mean.
You're from Louisiana.
Give me a dirty pond. You know what I mean yeah dude you're from Louisiana I like to go give me a dirty pond
you know what I mean
give me a bayou
yeah
you want a merry bayou
yeah I want a bayou
who's merry
put your beer on a lily pad
yeah
you know what I mean
I want a hot
I just want to play Frogger
I just want to play Frogger
I remember dude
like one
speaking of bats
so a bachelor party
I went on,
the first bachelor party
I ever fucking went on
when I was like
toint-to,
toint-to,
toint-to,
but it was,
we rented a houseboat.
It gives me so much shit
the way I talk,
like he talks
any different
No, I love the way you talk.
Do I talk like you?
You got the same energy.
Do I talk like you?
Wait, am I talking
like you sometimes? You got the same fucking har you got the same energy do I talk like you? wait am I talking like you?
you got the same fucking harumph
and the same energy
just a different part of the land
that actually makes me feel good
your dog barking at itself in the mirror
you also have similar beard coloring
that's why we get along
yeah
he picked me up in fucking mittsies
and held me like a fucking
like a five year old
he said you were a headlocked
I wrapped my legs around him
well we got to that point
oh I said yeah the Tommy Pope if Tommy Pope likes you when he said you were a headlocked man I'd wrap my legs around him well we got to that point oh I said yeah
the Tommy Pope
if Tommy Pope likes you
when he hugs you
he also accidentally
puts you in a rear
and makes you choke hold
accidentally
you gotta go for the
fucking
I love you buddy
but I'm gonna cut off
your fucking ass
supply for a second
that's how much I love you
I miss
there is a point
there's a point
in Tommy's drinking
where it's like
you need to wear
like hockey pads
he's just like smacking your drinking where it's like you need to wear hockey pads.
He's just like smacking your shoulder and hitting you.
That would be so funny if we're all hanging out at the table and I'm like, all right, take a piss.
You come back, you just all have helmets on.
I mean, it is also, you know you enjoy someone's company
where you're like, I know he's going to cut my windpipe off
for a second.
I'm all right with it.
He's excited. I'm excited.
It's warm. It's fun. It's wrestling with a dog.
You're also a light guy.
What, light? Light. Like light to pick up.
When I pick you up. Yeah.
I'm also a low center of gravity. I'm up to 185. You're stronger than you look.
I'm a low center of gravity.
You're built like a wine cork, but you're fucking strong
in the shoulders. Where do you think I'd all come from?
I'll do fucking...
I'll do 30 pike push-ups right now in front of your face.
Let's go, dude.
I don't want to.
It's Sunday.
I don't do push-ups
on the Lord's Day.
That's a good way.
Dude,
I don't exercise
on the Lord's Day.
Disrespectful.
The best compliment
I have for Texas is Sundays.
Sundays are wonderful.
Everyone's indoors
between three
and like the rest of the night.
No one's on the roads.
It's all family, church.
Yeah.
No one's out.
Wait, do bars close at midnight on Sunday?
They close at like 10, I think.
And all the beer distributors or liquor stores are closed.
Really?
But you can go to a mart to get like ciders and shit.
So bars tonight are going to be closed.
Bars are open.
Liquor stores are closed.
Right.
Yeah.
Like I got it. I mean, I tomorrow. I've got to put one on.
What time's your show? Oh, by the way,
Sean's been fucking murdering.
It's been fun. The shows have been amazing.
The place is great.
Do you watch
the show last night? Yeah, I watched half of it.
I late spotted the little
boy that I had to bop out.
It's a fun ass room.
Yeah.
It's a great, the best.
The crowd's here, man.
Yeah.
The people here, if you want to talk, you want to go from, from Atlantic City casinos
to the best club in the world.
Yeah, yeah.
I've, it's very rare.
And the only time I have like a bad time, it's like fucking midnight in the little boy
where they've been sitting for three fucking hours.
If they show up, they're, they're there to have fun.
Austin has,
in my experience
as a comedian,
always been
an awesome comedy star.
Yeah.
First time I ever came here
was 05.
Like,
early 06.
Like,
right after Katrina
kind of thing.
A bunch of New Orleans guys
moved here.
And I remember just being,
it was my first time here,
absolutely enthralled
by how good the audience was.
Yeah.
It's always been.
It's always been like a dope fucking,
and like before Rogan got here, there was a great,
it was a smaller comedy scene, obviously,
but it was fucking amazing.
But that is the upside of every bar trying to make it
like an activity thing.
It's like people expect to go somewhere and see something.
Sure, sure.
Music or like fucking, yeah.
Give me barbecue.
Yeah.
I love the fucking.
That's the worst part.
You've been to Terry Black's.
You've been to Cooper's Pit.
You've been to Franklin's.
No, I'm not going to wait six hours.
For anything.
To eat anything.
Anything.
Any line.
Yeah.
I don't wait in line to piss.
I'll piss in the street.
I'm not waiting in line for a donut, fucking brisket.
I don't care what it is.
You're waiting in line.
Grow up.
I don't care. Yeah is. You're waiting in line. Grow up. I don't care.
Yeah.
Get a hold of yourself.
There are people I've heard will bring lunches to wait in line.
Yeah.
People camp out.
Will bring food to wait in line for food.
Yeah.
I mean, there's no fucking way it's that, anything's that good.
Some of these places too.
I get it, it's great, but.
Some of these places too are, I've waited in line once. I like this. And some of these places are, they it's great but some of these places too are I've waited in line once
and some of these
places are
they're really
artificially slow
oh
like it's not
it's not like
it's not like a thing
where they're like
fucking moving
and shaking
and the lines
out the door
and they can't
they're taking
their sweet ass
time
yeah yeah yeah
the juice
cats is fucking they want you out of there you see them cut that fucking that juvie taking their sweet ass time. Deli moose. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Jewish guys. Yeah, don't give a fuck.
Katz's fucking moose.
They want you out of there.
You see them cut that fucking,
that Jew meat?
Shrami?
They don't even,
they don't even do this.
I mean,
I don't know where they find
these Jewish cows,
but they get that good meat.
Yeah.
Like if they were pumping it out,
you'd be like,
hey, what can you do?
I mean,
I have been to Terry Black's
and I remember it being a wait.
And I remember being like, this is very good.
Yeah.
If I had to wait a half an hour longer,
I'd be angry right now.
It's good.
Yeah, yeah.
It's just good.
Because that's the thing with food.
It's like, I get it.
We all want to eat delicious food.
But also, if you want to see comedy,
and you see shitty comedy, you are not satisfied yeah if you want to eat delicious
food can't afford it don't have the time but you just eat anything else you're satisfied the primal
need is met so like waiting excess excessively long to do a thing that i can do in a 15th of
the time just seems obscene i will say and there's also the thing where you judge a place
by the sides.
Yeah.
In my opinion.
Sides are great.
It's like.
Go to an Italian restaurant
first thing you get
is a side of meatballs.
Yeah, yeah.
It'll tell you everything
that's in that kitchen.
Yeah.
100%.
If you wait in line that long
and they first of all
they don't have a lot
of side options
or the sides are just like
whatever you're like
what the fuck.
Yeah.
Or they have no sides.
If it's just like a classic burger place and they're like we don't do fries. And you're like that the fuck yeah or they have no sides if it's just like
a classic burger place
and you're like
we don't do fries
and you're like
that's a good burger
that's a good fucking
but they got chips on the rack
I love
I do
I love and respect
any restaurant
that doesn't do
changes to the items
yeah
that's how it comes
that's how it fucking comes
yeah that's how it comes
you don't want it
you don't eat it
I agree
go wait in line
yeah
go wait in line go wait in line
for your franklin's barbecue
they're gonna run out by the way
you're gonna wait in line for six hours
you're gonna run out
dude as a disgruntled pill head chef coming up
and you finally get your fucking
your shop, your restaurant
and you go this is all I want to sell
it's the best out there
and then there has to be that financial turn
where you go now I can be a and then there has to be that like financial turn where
you go now i can be a cunt oh that has to feel so great going tell them the fuck off tell them yeah
i don't care about yelp i don't care about anything online get the fuck out there's no mess
there's no mustard there's no ketchup there's no mayo there's no salt and pepper on the table
eat it or get the fuck out of here you've got a line down oh you got allergies you shouldn't
have been such an asshole in a past life.
What do you want me to tell you?
Yeah, yeah.
What do you want me to tell you?
Yeah.
Go away.
You were raised by two lesbians
and didn't let you eat nuts.
That is, that's a sick mode to be in.
My cousin got to the place with his pizza place
where he was just like,
I make this many pies a day
because I don't want to make any more.
Yeah.
And that's it.
It sells out when it sells out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, there's a place in there.
That place is called This Many Pies. I like that. That's what it's called. I like that. This many. I that sells out when it sells out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's a place in that place called this many pies.
I like that.
What's called?
I like that.
This many.
I'm all out of dough.
