But you know, it's interesting.
Movies now, they get in like a collective thing
because I think HBO's been pushing Jaws.
Why?
Do you have HBO?
Is it going to be a remake with a black shark?
There probably is a shark movie coming out.
Why else would you buy a franchise?
Trans.
Trans shark, yeah.
Well, I'm obsessed with the franchise.
Yeah, of course.
Well, I love Jaws 1
it's one of my favorite movies
but the franchise
has a problem
I find really funny
which is that
there's no reason
for a sequel
because there's one shark
that attacks this town
and they were like
alright we gotta make a sequel
and so they were like
alright
another shark
will attack the town
and the mayor
still won't believe
the mayor still won't believe that you still won't believe the chief of police
lightning doesn't strike twice
the second movie is just that
the second movie is just the shark attacking
and the chief of police is like we got another shark
and the mayor is like ah come on let's keep the beaches
open what could go wrong
motherfucker last year
so then the third one
Roy Scheider says I don't want to be on it
anymore you know
so they drop him and then they're like
we still got to make a movie but they don't know what connects it
so the third one it's SeaWorld
but his kids
now work at SeaWorld
Chief Brody's kids and a shark attacks
and at no point do they ever go
it's kind of a big fucking coincidence
that we've now had three great whites attack us.
Like, we had one attack us in the first one,
and then another shark, and now we went to SeaWorld,
a totally different place, and there's another shark.
It's a little bizarre, but at no point are they like,
this is kind of spooky.
It's one of those franchises you start to hate watch after a while.
Like, it just becomes comical. It's like, this is a fun cartoon. It's one of those franchises you start to hate watch after a while. It just becomes comical.
It's a fun cartoon. I just can't get
enough of big sharks.
In the fourth one...
That's your weird fucking ship brain.
In the fourth one, they're forced to be supernatural
because the coincidences can't...
So in the fourth one, the shark is legitimately getting...
Is that Sharknado? That's not part of the same...
It's Jaws for the Revenge and the shark is getting
revenge on members of the Brody family.
So what happened is
because it was doing
so many coincidences.
Look how passionate he is.
Yeah, yeah.
You see him come up,
he bucked up,
he put his glasses in his hands.
This is how you sell a movie, Chris.
I find it fascinating
because the supernatural
was more believable
than the coincidence.
Yeah.
You know,
you can't have a fourth shark
attack the Brody family. By that point, the shark is like wanting revenge. Yeah. You know? You can't have a fourth shark attack the Brody family.
By that point,
the shark is like
wanting revenge.
Yeah.
You know?
And it's like
a supernatural shark.
They worked their way into it.
This dude just sat there
three hours of Rogan
and he's like,
finally.
Finally, finally, finally
we can talk about Jaws.
45 minutes on Jaws.
Joe just wouldn't bring it up.
Dude, you don't want to talk
about fucking Jaws?
Yeah.
Three hours you don't want to bring up Jaws? That's funny you talk about fucking Jaws? Three hours and you don't bring up Jaws?
That's funny you talk about homework podcasts.
Joe literally stopped doing our podcast.
I lost my co-host because of homework.
Even he was like, I can't do this anymore.
I can see Liz bailing on that.
The homework is just watching a movie?
Yeah, but I guess that was a lot for him.
I don't know.
Was this after the kid or before he was just like,
fuck it, I can't do this?
He never wanted it to be super consistent.
He always just wanted to do it when he could.
But then he had a kid, and he cares about the kid more than the podcast.
Yeah, God forbid.
And I told him, I was like, you've got to get your priorities straight.
What do you care about?
Yeah.
Your baby?
We could be making $1,300 a month.
No, we weren't.
We weren't making that.
Your baby or this podcast that has potential.
You're not going to be able to tell your kid about these movies.
It's so sad.
We should have done like a fucking Patreon cast when you were absorbing all these movies
just to take.
What were you doing?
He was just watching.
I don't know.
I just, yeah.
I didn't have anything to do during the day.
So it's just kind of, yeah.
Watching movies?
Yeah, yeah.
And you watch another one.
Six hours of black and white 1950s films.
I love movies.
I got back.
I got into a big phase
watching like oh i know this is gonna backfire you're trying to get me to make fun of it
yeah no i try to do podcasts you're like yeah you're like look at this queer and i'm like no
what movies what did you really like uh i got i was just getting into watching like
whatever was on hbo max yeah as far as a great collection they do yeah i was watching like the
old italian movies like laventura oh nice la note and stuff like that oh yeah antonioni yeah yeah
yeah i got big into that and because there was also just something nice about watching old movies
like getting out of your phone yeah of, of course. Everything is so slow.
They so don't give a fuck about your time.
Movies are the new books.
Yeah.
You watch a movie, you're like, actually, movies are like a meditation.
You watch a movie, you're like, whoa.
Yeah, yeah.
I was focused for like an hour.
Yeah.
Did you watch Bicycle Thief?
I have not watched Bicycle Thief.
That's a great one.
Yeah, yeah.
That's like one of the all-time
great movies. Yeah, it's just directed to see
all his movies. The plot will just make
you cry. Like, just the plot. He has
one movie called Umberto D. I'm going to tell you
the plot. I mean, you're not going to cry, but
you're going to like, it's moving, just the plot.
I'm emotional. Yeah, you might cry. Dude, I
cry at commercials. Alright, well,
you might cry at this. This is the plot.
It's an old guy
you just start bawling immediately
those are like right at the like right at the edge of what i was like willing to step into
umberto d he's like i don't know what that is it's like an old guy who's he he lost his job
he has to work for a living still it's a tap still. And they evict him from his apartment. And he's like
60, 70, maybe 60.
And he has a dog. And he wants
to commit suicide, but he doesn't want to
leave the dog. So the whole movie is
him just trying to find new owners for the dog
so he can go out and commit suicide
afterwards. Oh my god, the rules.
Yeah. This is like that
pot delivery show
on HBO oh wow
high maintenance
where every episode it's a new episode of him
trying to find a dog on it so he can kill himself
I assume that's how it ends
I don't know how he watches
put this man on a bike
it's a powerful movie
that's why I got my dog by the way
she's only four months old
I figure I can't kill myself, just give it to my girl.
It keeps you from it.
It does.
The level of happiness.
This fly.
I know.
It's going to fire me the fuck up.
It's very aggressive.
I wish I had a pet.
I'm also worried.
Our landlord doesn't allow pets, so I guess I'm just not going to be happy in life.
Well, there's a...
You give us loopholes to that.
There's a loophole.
And in fact, in our contract, the project management company that's a third party to the actual owner of this property it states very clearly no pets so when
you we didn't do this on purpose but i did a lot of research into um what are they called not
pets are the new pets are the new weed you can you know what i mean it's like you can get a card
that basically means you can right emotional support emotional support animals. Emotional support animals.
So I did a lot of research into that,
finding out what are the loopholes,
what can they and can't they do.
Texas is very strict about if you need one,
you can have one.
Really?
Under almost every circumstance,
except our circumstance, if you have a third-party management company
and they're renting directly through them
to you your documentation and your certificate does not it doesn't work so they can find you
whatever's in the contract which is our monthly rent every month on top of that until you get rid
of the dog so they allow no pets here they allow no pets here we got her her contract and then i
found out the reason it's a house though.
It's a house. Why would they care?
Because it's a project management company. Apparently
we met the... We know the owner
from afar now and she doesn't give a
fuck. And it's just a project management
company trying to get money in their pocket because once
she sells this house, they're not a part
of it anymore. Oh, I see. So it's the
scumbags, the third party scumbags trying to
get extra money. So they don't know about it. They don't
know about it, but at the same time I found
a clause saying
the only way you can is
the owner of this property, if they own and
rent out more than three
properties, then it's null and void.
And this woman owns 20 properties.
You're like a prisoner reading the law.
I did, I had to.
I fucking had to because once I saw what this dog did to me and my girl, like in terms of
happiness, I was like, I have to fight.
I'm paying the fine to get a new house that accepts dogs.
I want a cat, actually, but my girlfriend doesn't like cats.
Really?
Because she found a cat in an alleyway like 10 years ago at her job, and she brought it
home like a retard,
and then it went berserk and attacked her.
And they had to call it animal control,
and now she's afraid of all cats.
PTSD.
Yeah, so she hates cats.
Did it bite her face and shit?
No, it didn't even bite her roommate.
I mean, it bit her a little,
but it really bit her roommate.
But it's still like a cat.
We can see an argument.
Well, apparently she passed.
They called animal control
and I think animal control
had to bring the police.
They arrested the cat.
I don't know.
It was a whole thing.
It's two women in an apartment.
You can't really know how bad it was.
You can't hit one of them.
We've got an argument. She's like, a cat can kill you. I'm like, no, you can't really know how bad it was. Right. You can't hit one of them. You can't hit one of these two.
Yeah, yeah.
We got an argument there.
She's like, a cat can kill you.
I'm like, no, they can't.
No, they can't.
We literally would argue, like, no, a cat could possibly kill a person.
I'm like, there is literally no way a cat could kill a person.
She's like, what if it scratched your wrist and it bled?
I'm like, they're not, it's not that deep that they could do that.
I'm almost inclined to agree with her here the cats are so nimble your cat is not nimble he's how could it but how could it kill you i mean it could maybe give you like fuck you and give you feline aids
but i don't think that transfers even if the hardest scratch it just makes you itch because
death by a thousand cuts yeah no a pack. And I don't think feline AIDS
is even that bad, right?
But the 13-year-old
couldn't kill me.
I don't know if it's
transmissible.
Seven 13-year-olds?
Seven 13-year-olds?
They could kill me.
If they were all like
in some kind of possession.
Yes, yeah.
And they had like
rocks and sticks and shit.
Like a vampire.
If you were a vampire
and a bunch of cats
attached to you.
Yeah, and then the lower you go
the more you get out
of the cat range.
But one cat,
they're not going to kill you.
But she hates cats.
They'll eat you
after you're dead though. Of course. Yeah. Of course.'re not going to kill you. But she hates cats. They'll eat you after you're dead, though.
Of course.
Yeah.
Of course.
That's par for the course.
That's creepy enough
to not have a fucking cat.
But still, a dog.
A dog would need you.
A dog would starve
looking longly in your eyes
next to you.
No.
There's a woman in France.
She got some kind of
operation.
She went home.
She probably smelled like cheese
emitting from her fat face. She took like an ambient probably smelled like cheese. Committing from her
fat face.
She took like an
ambient.
You can't smell like
dog food.
That is one of the.
She took an ambient
and fell asleep and
the dog like ate off
her face while she was
asleep.
Or like not ambient
something even stronger.
You see the story
about this guy who
took an ambient just
recently.
I kicked off a flight.
Where's my phone?
No, no.
He pissed.
I'm done looking stuff
up.
Jamie, Jamie, Jamie can you pull. Let's not look it up. I'm done looking stuff up. Oh, yeah. Just remember. Jamie?
Jamie?
Jamie, can you pull that?
You got it?
Yeah.
No, he apparently took an Ambien.
Look it up.
He's never taken a sleeping pill before.
He took an Ambien, pissed on this old lady for 20 straight seconds.
Wait, where?
And just slapped some on a flight.
Ambien will fuck you up.
He was going from Dublin to Boston.
Dublin to Boston is like time travel
to the same place.
But he just got up on Ambien. I have a
joke about it because I time traveled on Ambien.
You find yourself in different rooms
doing crazy shit. It's blackout shit.
Blackout shit, dude. I was headbutting
E-Finance when he stayed over at my apartment.
You could do that sober pretty easily.
True, true. I wasn't even on Ambien that night.
It can be irritating.
It's just fucking annoying.
Yeah, no.
Ambien and Xanax will fucking make you do shit.
It's like Dr. Jack and Mr. House.
Yeah.
Which is fun.
Yeah, my brother used to take Ambien.
And he wouldn't take it in bed.
He'd always take it while we're doing shit.
Same.
And then you'd be hanging out with him.
And he'd just suddenly start asking questions. And asking questions you're like oh you're retarded
like you don't even realize yeah yeah he just starts like asking the most idiotic guy yeah yeah
well the goal is to find that little gray area i used to do the same thing with benadryl i used
to call benny wallop to me my friend would take like two or three benadryls and drink wine oh
that's fun you'd eventually get benny Wallop and then go night-night.
Yeah, yeah.
But that little fog area is a nice fucking big wave
to surf into the land
before you go night-night.
Ambien, yeah.
Ambien is the same way.
You take a pill
and you wait like 30 or 45 minutes
and then with the booze,
it's like mushrooms hitting.
Well, you know what it is too?
Yeah.
It feels like fucking terrifying.
I guess I've never had it,
but it feels like laughing gas. You i've never had it but it feels
like laughing gas you just find everything funny you find the zone it's fucking so fun you know
what it is it's it's the kind of drug where it makes you dumb but then you find that hilarious
yeah that you're dumb yeah you just start laughing at how dumb you are yeah yeah it's a good one it's
also oddly one of those drugs where you start saying things that make sense in the dumb realm
you know when you know when you make sense of how stupid life is?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In a certain way, you're like,
actually, that's brilliant.
Yeah, yeah.
I never thought,
the perspective on your stupid fucking comment
is actually smarter than the stupidity.
It outweighs it.
It scales to justice.
I was at, my cousin had a bat mitzvah,
not to get all Jew-y on you all.
No, don't.
My girl's not going to be here
until the podcast is over.
She's Palestinian.
Oh.
Is that correct?
I'll get out of here quickly.
Jamie, pull up the tape.
I always wanted a bat mitzvah.
Bar mitzvah.
Bar mitzvah.
Bats for the ladies?
Yeah.
I did a b'nai mitzvah.
Me and my twin sister.
Joint. Whoa. Yeah, I had a speech. What's it called? What's it called? B'nai mitzvah me and my twin sister joint
whoa
yeah I had a speech
what's it called
B'nai mitzvah
B'nai
B'nai
B'nai
like John B'nai Ramsey
yeah
that's what it's named after
better ending
yeah
both kids
we both
we both had speeches
and I won first
and just like destroyed
you know
like best out of your life
it was pretty
pretty good.
Buried my sister.
Yeah, she could not follow me.
That's how you knew you were calling?
It was like an upstanding ovation.
It was just crazy shit.
And then she went up and just.
Wait, 13?
13, yeah.
She went up and just like, just ate a big dick.
Good.
Yeah, yeah, fuck her for thinking she should go last.
Did she demand to close?
Yeah.
I don't know why she closed.
I don't think she demanded it.
I think it was just a way
it was paired,
but still, fuck her, you know?
Yeah.
Maybe she's in that situation
I'm going to kill.
Family values, like,
as a guy,
you usually let the woman go first,
like, through a doorway and stuff.
Yeah.
To alleviate the pressure of a speech,
you'd probably be like, get up there. As a kid, fuck around. Your sister's coming doorway and stuff. Yeah. To alleviate the pressure of a speech, you'd probably be like,
get up there.
As a kid,
fuck around.
Your sister's coming up after you.
Right, right.
But I think it's more like
women don't matter in Judaism.
It's like, you know,
this is an afterthought.
It's true.
Yeah.
What level of Judaism?
Me?
Yeah.
Conservative.
So do you know the levels?
No, I don't.
I just know like
when you start wearing wigs
and doing crazy shit.
That's orthodox.
Yeah.
That's where it gets fucking nuts.
Shit where it gets trans.
Shit where it gets so fundamental
it goes the other way.
It just starts getting into kinky shit.
They're really religious. They wear wigs
and fuck through a hole.
Sounds like a kink party.
So you're Jewish the way I was raised Catholic.
I went to school.
I went to 12 years of Catholic school, but you don't really...
I mean, I'm not like a practicing Jew now.
Right.
Same.
I'm not an idiot.
Yeah, same.
That's what I'm getting at.
No, I'm just joking about that.
But yeah, conservatives in between Orthodox and Reformed.
Reformed is like the lesbian rabbi and, you know,
it's just kind of like, it's like the very liberal one.
Conservatives like in the middle.
Ah.
It's like we, okay, so Orthodox is just do everything
like it says in the Bible.
Yeah.
And some Orthodox is like really fundamentalist,
like they believe the world is whatever,
5,000, 6,000 years old or whatever.
Yeah.
And then there's conservative. Oh, you guys have those people too oh yeah oh yeah big time almost flat earth
not i mean not flat earth but definitely like the world is only like six yeah yeah the world is only
like six thousand years old yeah or i mean maybe they're dinosaurs but it all happened a lot at
the same time yeah they're just so off yeah they're like they're like it's six thousand years old six thousand years old you're like
you're off by like billions yeah yeah yeah you didn't carry the billions yeah it's not even not
even close you're off by some that's difficult to comprehend yeah yeah but uh i was in the middle
it's like it was like kind of liberal but also you follow the rules. Reform is just kind of like you don't have to do anything.
Yeah, it's a healthy way to live and raise your children to start a family.
You give them something to leave.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's the way I was raised Catholic.
It's like, here's something to leave behind.
It's just to avoid the death talk.
It's all just to avoid the death talk. It's all just to avoid the death talk.
I also feel like, can't talk about it.
One million percent, but it is,
there is a structure there that you want to instill
within your children, like PB football.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like, you start, you got to finish.
You just don't realize that Catholicism
is like fucking 20 years.
Yeah, right.
It's 20 seasons of getting your ass kicked in the hot grass.
Right, right, right.
You don't want to give up.
Yeah, so, but there is camaraderie and like, they like structure. It's 20 seasons of getting your ass kicked in the hot grass. Right, right, right. You don't want to give up. Yeah. But there is camaraderie, and they like structure.
It's discipline.
It's almost military, you know?
Well, you need a sense of community.
I mean, you need a balance in life.
Yeah, you shouldn't be like all community,
but you can't be like just all, everyone out for themselves.
You want some sense of community.
And that's what religion offers people a lot, too,
is just like community.
100%. Yeah. In Catholic school, I feel like that's what religion offers people a lot, too. It's just like community. 100%.
Yeah.
In Catholic school, I feel like there's a lot about parents being like,
well, if I break them in the same way I was broken.
Yeah.
They're able to fix it.
Yeah.
Or they know my language.
Yeah, Catholicism, that must have been wild.
I mean, like, Catholicism is so, we're so ingrained in it,
we don't realize how, like, macabre it is.
Yeah.
Just the whole Jesus, just the fact that you have, like,
a crucifix up there.
Yeah.
You're drinking his blood.
It's just, like, so macabre that we're, like,
ingrained to just think of it as normal, you know?
Yeah.
I mean, this is my favorite part.
I said this on a pod recently, but my favorite part about Texas
is just how Christian everybody is.
Because Sundays, everybody fucks off.
It's very peaceful.
It has an element of like the 50s.
Oh, wow.
It's like people are either cooking dinner at a supermarket early.
No one's on the road from 3 to like never.
Yeah.
Wow.
Bars are closed.
Not bars are closed.
Liquor stores are closed.
There's just like a vibe that's just like very old school homey.
What kind of Christian are both people?
I don't fucking know. Mexican
Christian? Fat white Christian?
Well, Mexican Christian's probably Catholic.
Yeah. Well, yeah, I don't know what the fat
white one is. I don't know. There's some
type of Protestant, isn't it?
They're all here. I don't really know the difference
between any of them. Look it up.
Look it up.
Kill another 45 minutes

No, it was great.
Sam's so creative and so, like, dude, the way that kid, he's still doing that film festival, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We got in a fight actually because he, we're over and out.
But he like, he messaged me.
He's like, hey, we're doing the film festival.
You know, I had just made a movie with Joe List.
Yeah.
He was like, yeah, put your movie in it, you know?
And then the other person also asked me to do it.
So I just assumed it was a formality
because he asked me personally so I put it in there
and then I just got a mass rejection
email
I'm like what the fuck
I only did it because you asked me
and then I got a fucking
mass I'm the first person ever
to get a personal invitation
but a math rejection email.
He apologized.
It's fine.
But I confronted him.
I'm like, what the fuck?
Yeah, trying to make it look like an exclusive club.
It's like, I get rejected enough.
I didn't need to be asked to get rejected.
And he's like, look, we loved your film.
But I'm like, shut the fuck up.
Shut the fuck up.
Don't tell me.
You didn't have the votes to pass, dude.
Yeah.
So, you know, I'm, yeah, not a nominee in the Sam Rubinoff Film Festival, but I made the first round of elimination.
Let's go.
Which one is this?
Which film?
I made a movie with Joe List about like-
The one, the last one he put out.
The Facebook thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I haven't seen it yet.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
It's only eight minutes and I clearly watched yours, but that's thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I haven't seen it yet. I'm sorry. It's okay. It's only eight minutes,
and I clearly watched yours,
but that's fine.
Yeah, what was ours?
12?
Thank you for your service.
Might have been longer than that.
Might have gotten up to 15.
I don't think so.
I just made a movie.
I raised $34,000,
and me and my buddy,
like we've been writing scripts
for a whole,
like for like 20 years,
and we finally like condensed one
into a 25-minute movie.
Really?
And we went $13,000 over budget.
But it was awesome.
It was so fun.
What is it?
It's a thriller.
It's not a comedy.
Is it being edited?
Yeah, yeah.
We're editing it now.
It's about a caretaker who has this patience, dimensional guy.
And one day, they're playing a record.
And he seems to remember the song.
He's like, oh, you remember this? And he's like, yeah, this a record and he seems to remember the song. She's like, oh, you remember this?
And he's like, yeah, this song was playing
the night I strangled Rosie.
He just says it like out of nowhere.
But he has dementia,
so she doesn't know if he's joking or not.
So it's just about her trying to figure out if he's-
If he actually killed her.
Killed someone, yeah.
And he's like this nice, charming old-
Let's go.
Dementia already is the scariest thing in the world to me.
I'm getting it.
Yeah.
I'm already fucking terrified.
I can already smell it through my right nostril.
No, no, but I think if you know it, you're good.
As long as you know you're losing your memory, you're good.
Well, that's the point of dementia.
You don't fucking know you're going crazy.
That's what I'm saying.
You're like, I'm losing my memory.
You're in a good place.
Oh.
But it's when you're like, no, no, everything's fine.
I'm just waiting for my third grade teacher to bring it up.
I'm late for class.
That's why, like, obviously Biden was in not great shape.
But I didn't really buy the DeBetje thing.
Because I feel like if he had DeBetje, he'd be up there being like,
Mommy, Mommy, I'm late for second grade.
I'm in that conspiracy theory of the masks and the actors.
Jim Carrey is apparently one of the Bidens.
Really?
Yeah.
I heard that.
I heard that.
I heard that.
I got into it hard, dude.
Well, if you heard it, then that's all the proof you know.
What do you think this podcast is?
It's science.
I was going to ask the source, but you heard it.
Is he the only one who can pull off Biden?
No.
Biden's very easy to do.
What is the...
I don't understand.
What's the theory?
The theory is the CIA,'t understand what's the theory theory
is the cia which has been proven to have these masks that are so human like they've been using
them since the 80s okay so there's cia by proven you mean not proven what by proven you mean not
no proven there's there's like a mission impossible mask yes documented interviews with ex-CIA women that were in the room.
They did it to like Bush or Obama
where she pretended to do an interview
with one of them,
which was like clearance,
all the clearance.
And then at the end,
ripped her mask off to show that
she was really this woman
that they've already known.
Really?
And he was like, what the fuck?
So they practiced this level of mask.
You can buy one.
Dude, it's on my algorithm, my feed on Instagram.
Yeah, you can buy them.
You can buy one that looks unbelievably good.
Yeah.
What do you think the CIA's had for fucking 30 years?
It's just like a believable looking mask.
But it can't be as good as Mission Impossible.
Dude.
Because Mission Impossible, it's like moves with some purchasing.
I think we're there.
And I think that guy fucking
was gone a while ago and they just put another dude in a fucking mask i didn't to stumble the
way he's been stumbling just to get just to make ends meet to get him the phone they just make him
a normal guy yeah why would they just make because he was running through all the all right he died
would replace him but make him just as scarily old
and out of it
no no no
should we make him
a little less stumbling
no no no
we're liars
but we gotta be consistent
you guys are misimagining
all the like
writers room arguments
that they're having
about like
what tone to hit
with how fucking senile he is
why don't they just make him
yeah just make him
a good president
I don't believe it
and what is the point of it?
For him to just drop out?
He can just die.
You guys,
you're missing my time frame here
where he started losing
his fucking skull
and doing weird shit.
And then they were like
bringing a couple masks
and they continue
that weird shit.
Oh, delay it.
We can delay it
to the point where we can swap
for one retard to another.
When you move to Austin,
do you have to agree
to just believe in crazy shit? No, I'm just
bored out here.
There's so much land.
In New York, you're
too busy stepping over human shit that you don't
have time to believe in. You don't have time for it.
It's so funny to think of them getting mad.
Like the guy who did the Biden State of the Union
that kind of went well.
Oh, yeah.
Have them be like, what the fuck was that?
That was great, you sack of shit.
They almost caught us.
I told you you'd have to get
a valedictorian for a fucking man.
The plan is very simple.
He died.
We want him out of there.
And he died,
which would think
that would be the answer.
But no, we have to have him in a mask.
And then have him drop out.
It's so fun.
It's great.
It's so fun.
That is the problem with those.
It's such a more fun way to view the world.
I know.
I kind of got a little in it with Rogan.
I'm not a conspiracy theory guy.
I'm like the opposite.
First of all, before you say this, I want the viewers to know,
you just got back from Rogan, and the fact that you've been asking to do this podcast
and then you drove from Rogan to do this, hats off, Bob.
Thank you. I didn't realize how far away it was, to be fair.
To be fair.
I didn't realize how funny this was going to be.
To be fair, I did not realize I was a half an hour away
but
but of course
you did leave at 530
I left Rogan early
I'm like dude
I gotta get out of here
I got
Pope
you know
I'm with you on the JFK thing
cause I went to Dealey Plaza
and I was like
same
he talks shit about the shot
I was
yeah I was just like
if you
if you can't make this shot,
what's the point of a gun?
Well, it's also like...
The book depository is not...
I feel like I could throw a baseball to that one.
Yeah, and it's also like...
You can't.
Even if something's 100%.
Even if something's crazy, it's like 9-11.
Like two buildings that never really hit, skyscrapers.
But then you had all these guys in basements going,
that's not how buildings fall
I'm like how do you know this is the first time
that's happened yeah it's like
even if it was a crazy shot sometimes crazy
shit happens and it's like yeah
I don't know I was just saying to him
are you saying Bush didn't do his 9-11
I'm saying
nothing new let's talk about Jaws
Jaws 7 is more
believable than what you're
saying right now.
I would like the angle on a Jaws
movie with that family where they've just had
so many of these. And they just start talking about it?
Well, they've had so many of the same
shark attack them that they just start to think
it's like a marine biology
phenomenon. They're just like, no, this is what
great whites do.
No, this is not normal whites do. Yeah, yeah.
And someone's like, no, this is not normal.
And they're like, this happens to us all the time.
Wait, your family didn't...
It's like when your family does something weird,
you don't realize.
Your family doesn't get repeatedly attacked
by great white sharks?
100%.
Oh, wow, I thought that's what happened.
I love the job, but I always want...
There's definitely a lot of holes.
I feel like the big holes...
There's a lot of holes. There's a lot of holes. I feel like the big hole.
There's a lot of holes.
Yeah.
The big hole.
The first one is that I don't think it's all about the chief of police.
I don't think it's really his jurisdiction.
It's a shark in the water.
Yeah.
Like that's a Coast Guard.
Yeah.
And he's like, I got to stop the shark. It's like, you can't arrest him.
He's not like a citizen.
And then he goes on the boat at the end.
What the fuck is he doing on the boat?
There was probably a meeting in the writer's room.
They were like, no one respects a coast guard.
They're only going to respect a mayor or a sheriff.
Somebody that talks to the people.
And they're like, that guy with a badge knows about sharks.
He must know about sharks.
But then he leaves the land where there is crime.
So now Amity is lawless
because he's on a boat.
Yeah.
But it's like
with his cop gun?
It is such a
it's like
it's such a fun idea to me.
I feel like it would
never land though.
It's just like
take all of those types
of movies and just
make it realistic.
Yeah, yeah.
Just have them be like
call the Navy
and they like come in
and just neutralize it.
And Twister
and Twister they don't actually get in and just neutralize it. In Twister, they don't
actually get in harm's way at all.
That's not what happens.
It's way too dangerous to drive away.
Twister is so
funny because they have a new one, obviously.
Twisters, which is like aliens.
Right now? Yeah, they have a new one coming out.
Yeah, Twisters. Dude, you got to get back
on this movie podcast.
You're fascinating, dude.
But the Twisters thing is funny
because in the first, did y'all see the first one?
No. They have to make... Oh, I saw Twisters.
Yes, I don't remember it. I saw it in theaters
with my grandpa. So they have to have a bad guy.
So the bad guy's just another meteorologist.
Yeah. So it's just a meteorologist, but he's
like the villain. And you're like, he's just trying to
help things. Collect data.
But he's like, no, he's bad. And then he gets killed. You're supposed to be really happy. Like, fuck it. Does he get killed by the Twister? Yeah're like, he's just trying to, you know, help things. Collect data. Yeah, but he's like, no, he's bad.
And then he gets killed.
You're supposed to be really happy.
Like,
fuck it.
Does he get killed by the twister?
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
He gets,
it's Carrie Oles,
or however you say his name.
Oh,
yeah,
the guy from,
yeah,
Princess Bride.
Saw,
he gets,
a pole flings through the window
and goes through.
The Jewish student,
Princess Bride?
No,
that's Wallace Shawn.
Oh,
there's actually two Jews
because there's also Mandy Patinkin, but that's Wallace Shawn actually two Jews, because there's also Mandy Patinkin.
But that's Wallace Shawn.
Mandy Patinkin.
Mandy Patinkin is the,
you killed my, whatever you call him.
You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Dude, I'm so hot, dude.
Some of the hardest
I've ever laughed in my life was like,
there was one time on vacation where
Mandy Patinkin came up and my parents were like, i fucking hate that guy really why and they were like they were like
he was everywhere for a couple years there oh really yeah well introduce him to the rock
hell are you talking how do they feel about kevin hart princess bride has one of my favorite the
funniest line ever,
when Wallace Shaw,
he talks about how smart he is,
and they're like,
really, are you really that smart?
How are you that smart?
He tries to prove it.
He goes, well, you know,
Socrates, Aristotle, morons.
It's just his proof.
You know, it's another movie.
Me and my girlfriend were watching.
I used to say that guy, I used to quote him going my name is antonio venderez you killed my father yeah it's like
puss in boots yeah another me and my girlfriend are re-watching who framed roger rabbit oh
roger rabbit so underrated the funniest character it's unbelievable well he's he's a really tragic
character because he can't help but be funny yeah so even in desperate well he's he's a really tragic character because he can't help
but be funny yeah so even in desperate situations he's just forced to do gags yeah you know like
but he's like scared but he still has to like oh i only put the handcuffs off when it's funny
but he's like it's like terrifying he's like afraid for his life but he can't help
but be funny and it's some of the funniest just like like when he's like uh when he's like afraid for his life but he can't help but be funny and it's some of the funniest just like like when he's like when he's just like looking at
Donald Duck and all on the movie what finesse what timing no one takes a fall
like Donald it's like a comic talk about their comic that was the first cartoon
I beat off to is that Jessica Rabbit I was gonna ask
which cartoon
I was gonna try to guess
I was gonna go
with the shoe
the shoe thrown
to acid
the shoe was so
fucking hot dude
and most recently
maybe five
six years ago
I beat off to
you know how
cartoon porn
is just being like
funneled in like
porn hub and stuff
yeah
I didn't search it
you don't have to
you don't have to
adjust it you know how they force it. You don't have to adjust it.
He's like,
you know how they force it on you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It popped up, dude.
They caught me with my pants down.
They forced it.
Pornhub,
they're just forcing it on you.
You just have to give in.
Look,
my adolescent years
was Marge Simpson,
but I wasn't,
I wasn't fired up.
You know what I mean?
There wasn't enough coal
in my steam box.
But were you really,
so you really jacked off to...
Yeah, Lois.
Yeah, well, it does...
At some point, it does...
Lois getting fucking knocked around.
You like cartoon porn?
I'm not judging you.
No, no, no.
It was so interesting.
I was like, this is hilarious.
And I was like, oh my God.
It's pretty fucking good.
I've never actually got into cartoon porn.
I was jacking off to a porn star
that I realized after a couple years was AI.
What?
Oh, no.
Yeah.
You got catfished by a fucking AI porn star?
I got catfished.
I thought she was real.
Oh.
She looked really real.
It's a little, it's creepy,
because I'd rather just found out she was a man or something.
Yeah.
Because now I just jacked off
to some Indian nerdy computer programmer's imagination. Yes, I just jacked off to some Indian nerdy
computer programmer's imagination.
Yes.
Like I jacked off
to what his ideal woman is.
That's the future.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
The next generation
won't know what they're beating off to.
Like Patel made me come.
Yeah.
It's just bizarre.
Yeah.
It's pretty sick.
There's a Rajneesh Patel.
It's pretty awesome.
It's like, I don't know,
the idea that you can make
something like that,
it's pretty cool.
I was always jealous of people that could draw really good naked women. Yeah, right? You create your own porn. You'd be like, I don't know. The idea that you can make something like that is pretty cool. I was always jealous of people
that could draw really good naked women.
Yeah, right?
You create your own porn.
Oh my God.
Yeah, yeah.
But it was too good to be true.
What if I was able to do that?
What type of women would I create?
You know what I mean?
I've never had that kind of power before.
Do you want to see her?
Do you want to see her?
I really...
I just want you to know,
I'm not an idiot.
It's pretty believable.
It's not like pixelated.
It's going to be a stick figure. It's pretty believable. It's not like pixelated. It's going to be a stick figure.
It's like sprites.
They've gotten so good.
The AI show.
I should have known though because
she has huge tits,
but her face is like that girl next door
cute face.
If you have a cute girl next door face, you don't usually have monster tits, but her face is like that girl next door cute face. And I don't think usually
if you have a cute girl next door face,
you don't usually have monster tits.
If they're naturals, they're out there.
Yeah, I guess so.
I've been dipping in the natural pool lately.
Of course. Because the older you get,
it's the reverse bell curve.
I'm not seeing these high springy
tits anymore. Fuck that shit.
These memory foam boobs sitting up high in big fucking heaters. Now I'm not seeing these high springy tits anymore. Fuck that shit. These memory foam boobs sitting up high in big fucking heaters.
Now I'm just seeing, you know.
What are you seeing?
Where are you seeing this?
Online.
I'm saying, like, I'll peruse the fucking natties.
Yeah.
Natural bombs.
Yeah.
And it's like, when you see a high swinging natural tit, it's so strange.
Like, the ski slope sits up and then it's got a big bulbous pair at the bottom.
Yeah, it's great.
Wait, what are you talking about?
Fake tits or big?
No, real natural.
Why are you guys not listening to me say natural?
Real fat natural tits.
I get it.
I'm struggling with what you're so shocked about.
I don't like fake tits.
I'm not shocked.
I'm saying the older I get,
the more I appreciate it.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Because I'm going the opposite direction.
Yeah.
Oh my God. it oh yeah yeah because I'm going the opposite direction yeah oh my god Wow what what it's good right she's Italian Irish not Indian no I didn't say she's
Indian I thought it was like a computer programmer I was racially typecasting
yeah yeah that's I mean it's believable, right? I'm like, it's believable.
You're getting hard right now.
Dude, I love how it says.
This has 56.3 thousand likes.
It's just a photo on Instagram.
And it says, birthday cake.
Today I celebrate my birthday, rabbit ears.
See? It seems so human.
That is so human.
But it is what a girl with big fat tits
in a little dress would say.
Yeah, and she's Spanish,
so you never see her talking.
And there's like video of that?
Yeah, there's video of her naked in the shower.
I don't know how they do it.
Did you see the latest?
I saw a montage of Trump.
Oh, is it?
With Kamala.
Was it like making out?
They're kissing.
Yeah, walking on the beach.
And then it turns into her pregnant
and he's rubbing her bare belly.
It's fucking hilarious, dude.
It's so funny.
Those are really fun to create those.
Yeah.
I used to hate when people...
Can you just buy the software?
What do you buy, like a monthly subscription?
Yeah, I did one.
And you type in anything.
I did one.
I mean, it's not even that good,
but like when, you know,
when Trump was like talking about Kamala,
she's black, she's Indian.
Yeah.
I like just did one,
just like I thought it was funny,
but it's not, I mean,
it's like did it for free so quickly.
It was just like...
Look at the video quality.
I didn't see it.
Dude, that's insane.
I know.
So is this an app you bought?
No, I just found it online really quickly. I just wanted to do that bit i just looked online it was like so quick this isn't even that good
it's like not even fully dubbed yeah dude that's insane i know people are like how'd you do that
i'm like it's literally right there just google it once yeah yeah yeah but doesn't that fuck that
doesn't freak you out about like the future does, but once you have a funny bit,
you stop caring.
I would hate when other people,
I'd be like, that's really irresponsible to do that.
We should, you know,
this is really scary and misinformation.
But I got five new minutes. Yeah, I was like,
if you make something funny,
I have control.
I was like, what?
I'm back in the driver's seat.
You defending it.
AI's doing what I want.
No, no, no, no.
It's not that bad for everybody.
Give it a chance.
I mean, yeah.
I mean, we're fucked.
But people already believe false information all the time.
Yeah.
What's the difference?
Yeah.
He thought fucking fuel can bend steel.
Yeah, I know.
I'm an idiot.
I thought the Mission Impossible mask were a thing of movies.
You brought the Rogan dust
on your shoulders and we all just went fucking ham.
I wonder if any of the top
makeup artists have been recruited by the CIA.
I bet.
One million percent.
One million percent. You started SNL
doing goofy mustaches for fucking
Jimmy Fallon.
And then you end up in a CIA
bunker. But isn't the CIA supposed to be
people you don't know?
It's not like celebrities hiding
out. Isn't it like people in a different country
are spies? So why do they have to
look different? Or why do they have to be that
extensive? I guess
because once you get identified,
it's like Michael Jordan
trying to go to a Burger King right right right Shane Gillis going to any
Irish pub
good voices but doesn't have a face for it Shane just missing like man I wish I
wish we could just go play darts somewhere right now.
I'm like,
I got a girl.
I got a girl.
It's good for you.
She's your height.
Throw this mask on.
Let's go play fucking.
But even like,
so like I was with Louie everywhere.
No,
I mean like some people recognized him,
but like,
yeah,
people aren't like looking for it.
Yeah.
It's different though.
I think dude,
seeing,
I don't know that even the last year with Shane,
it's like, you can't even, you can the last year with Shane, it's like you can't
walk through the airport. It's like hustle.
Like he has to start being a dickhead.
Really? Not a dickhead, but it's like, I can't.
I gotta. Yeah, it's wild,
right? He gets done a stadium. It's like
you're not going to go to a local bar.
Dude, I forget
what city it was. It was like Houston or something.
I opened up for him and
there was only, it was like a cul-de-sac area. It kind of looked like a mall. And he's like houston or something i opened up for him and there was only it was like
a cul-de-sac area kind of looked like a mall and he's like yeah where are you boys at we all left
the hotel and we found one little like bar to get some mozzarella sticks or something a couple beers
and he couldn't even first of all the bars in this little area that was close to the venue
they were in the weeds, dude.
Oh, my God.
Because they had no idea Shane was performing that whole weekend.
So they couldn't, like, properly staff, because I guess it's like next to Banana Republic and fucking Elaine Bryant.
And this place is just mobbed.
And they ran out of glasses.
So then when he comes in, they're all just like.
Yeah. And they're like, sit over here. We'll get you a beer. We don't have glasses. We have when he comes in, they're all just like... Yeah.
They're like, sit over here.
We'll get you a beer.
We don't have glasses.
We have to wait for them to get cleaned.
It's like, that dude will fuck up a town.
Just stop and buy, dude.
I forget how famous people are.
Because I'm like a nobody.
But then I'm at the cellar.
They're all just there in shorts writing jokes.
You forget how big certain people are.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
In our world, it's like, you're just boys.
I have friends where I'm like, you shouldn't be friends with me.
We're in a different tax bracket. You shouldn't even talk to me.
It's crazy. Well, that's why they're friends with me.
I feel better.
Feel human.
That's what I think makes New York City
nice for some of those people, is that it's like
nobody gives a fuck there.
Well, I think that's why Joe List, I mean, I think
he might be moving. We live in the same building.
I think at one point he probably realized
me and him have the same life
and he has way more money.
He was like, this is wrong.
That's a fucked up thing to feel.
We both just leave the apartment and go to shows.
But he has
so much more money than me.
But we're living the same life
someone just looking at your life and going
I can do better than this
I should be on parallel
what am I doing
every day I wake up and I see you
is it opposite of goodwill hunting
I hope you're still here
being a comedian is one of those jobs where you're still here Being a comedian
Is one of those jobs
Where like
You're just friends
With like rich people
And famous people
Oh it's crazy
And then it's like
It's weird
And then you're like broke
Yeah
Yeah
Well not broke
But you know
Close
Yeah
But you could stand next to them
Did you know Shane
Or did you start in Philly
Yeah
I started in Philly, and I
met Shane through...
He started in Harrisburg.
What was it called? Second Street or something?
Comedy Zone. Comedy Zone.
And then
he started coming down to Philly here and there,
and then we'd meet in between. He
booked me on his show out there,
and then we just became friends, and then he eventually
moved to Philly, and then I eventually moved to New York, and then he moved to New friends. Then he eventually moved to Philly.
Then I eventually moved to New York.
Then he moved to New York.
I remember he moved to New York.
I saw him.
He was featuring.
Maybe I was featuring.
I can't remember.
I was doing a guest that I think he was featuring at Helium.
It was great.
I saw him once.
He was great in the crowd.
The crowd kind of turned on him a little
because he was making fun of stuff.
And I remember thinking, like,
wow, he really takes risks.
Yeah.
And then afterwards, I'm like,
I don't really take,
I mean, I want the people to like me,
but taking risks really pays off.
Yeah.
Like, everyone likes me,
but no one knows me.
Some people hate it,
but some people really love me.
As long as you get the majority
of the country to love you,
that's who wins elections.
Yeah, no, it's true.
Well, Philly's forgiving in a way
where they...
I've always tried to explain this
where they have a fuck you first mentality
where they feel like
you don't deserve anything.
Right, right, right.
From a male perspective.
Yeah, it's called being assholes.
Yeah, 100%.
But you break that shell
and then they're like,
this guy's fucking...
Right.
This guy's the best dude in the world.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's like, yeah, you're the same person.
But eventually, you know,
it takes time to prove that so the first 10 minutes
of a 20 minute set can be like
a battle for the
tough head dickheads that are just
tough guy dickheads that are just
combative for no reason other than
prove that you're funny
I worked a long shift today I paid
my babysitter $100 who the fuck are you
coming out with this confidence
you gotta disarm them.
But that thing, like, sometimes the,
you know how you get a crowd that's just collectively,
like, just all pricks?
You know what I mean?
It's usually, like, not that big of a crowd.
Like, I've done funny buns where everyone in the audience
is just like, make me laugh, comedy guy.
And I'm like, that makes me not want to make you laugh.
That's the one thing where I'm like,
I don't know how to deal with that.
Like, I can deal with a crowd that's just not that into it. I can deal with crowd talk. But if you're like, let's see you make you laugh. That's the one thing where I'm like, I don't know how to deal with that. I can deal with a crowd that's just not that into it.
I can deal with crowd talk, but if you're like,
let's see you make me laugh, I'm like,
well, now I can't do it because that's what you want.
Yeah. I will say,
my act is not like,
watch how good this is.
You're going to see this.
It's not like a twist
ending.
You come on stage and wash your hands in a bucket first.
You guys.
You have no idea what's about to hit you.
Yeah, I fucking hate that shit.
I had that a funny, I did a funny bone recently.
It fucking broke me.
Oh, man.
Have you done those?
Which one?
Yeah.
It was a Syracuse and it broke me.
Broke, like really broke me.
Not like, not really, but like it was tough.
Syracuse is tough
because it's like
it's all stick people
for the most part
and they're like
they're not,
I feel like they're not
they're not comedy fans.
They're just entertainment fans.
They're retards.
Yeah, they're like
mountain mongoloids.
Yeah, yeah.
Just say retards.
Well, it's alliteration.
It's a little funnier.
I like the political correctness.
Mountain mongolians
alright
wetback waterheads
it is
it is that thing though
where it doesn't matter
where you are
it's like
when you have a bad
a bad enough set
you can
you just have that feeling
like oh they finally found it
yeah
they found out
that I suck
everything is turned
no one's ever going to laugh again it was it was
like it was it was one of those sets where like most of the shows so i'm headlining but they're
like papering you know yeah and most of the shows were just fine i like just survived but it was
tough but i just in my head i just i just go just pretend it's going well. It's fine. They don't know the difference. And on the last set, it was like they were just so cocky and obnoxious.
And I just hated them all.
Yeah.
And then finally I did like, it was just awful set.
Just bombing.
Finally after like 40 minutes, I'm like, I think it was like 45.
I've been doing an hour every night.
I was like at 44.
I'm like, I think that's enough.
And I was like, I think I've done enough time,
right?
And then the guy in the sound booth goes,
you still got a lot of time.
Fucker made me do an hour.
Yeah,
I had to do another 15 minutes.
Yeah,
it was awful.
I think the positive,
wow.
The positive of like coming up
and like those.
Just getting to fight with him.
You sure?
Yeah,
kill the 20 minutes.
What time did you start?
Just burn 15 minutes on. Yeah, yeah. You like You sure? Yeah, kill the 20 minutes. What time did you start it? Just burn 15 minutes on,
yeah, yeah.
You like Jaws?
Yeah, yeah.
You're just talking to him
in the telephone.
I think you're wrong.
I think I've done enough time
that I'll just watch it.
Trust me,
I've done enough time.
Dude, but cutting your teeth
in like bar shows
when the fucking games are on.
Oh, yeah.
That's why I yell.
Yeah.
That's how it started.
Yeah.
I started at bars
where no one's listening
and now I'll do,
sometimes I'll do a theater
and everyone's like,
why is he yelling?
We're all listening patiently.
Trying to talk over the game.
I know the games.
That's how Gilbert Gottfried,
he said he yells
because like he was just
trying to get people
to listen to him.
That's how I feel.
I feel like I just like,
starting out,
you're doing bars. You're not doing
comedy clubs in the beginning.
You're doing pizza restaurants and bars
and you just have to yell a lot.
Yeah, those are always fun
streaks too. When you go on a run of
doing those shows and you have
to scream and fight everybody.
You get in a nice room and you're like,
what the fuck is your problem?
And they're like,
Jesus.
Look at this fat shit.
That's your opener.
But I,
it makes you like,
at this point now,
like,
if it's like a loud place,
I'll do okay.
Cause like,
I know how to get their attention.
I actually like,
I like when it's a tough audience.
A little,
yeah.
I don't like an audience
that's just been laughing at everything.
It's too much nerve.
Same, same. Cause it's just like, you can only either do as good or just fuck up it almost activates like there's something within you that activates other abilities that don't come out
yes so you start to go like art self-preservation yes a little aggression yes and then you already
have your joke writing already in bed right yes so then it's like a now it's a full course meal
and you're not nervous yes you're done you're in a different world you're not like this sucks
yeah or not even nervous you're not like i nervous is the wrong word you're not like i hope this goes
well you don't care don't give a fuck and that's the best place to be in 100 you get there if the
audience sucks and you see them suck yeah or if you're really sick yeah i have my best sense when
i'm like about to die i take three glasses i don't give a fuck yeah yeah and then
fucking swim in it yes yes i wasn't saying you should be an alcoholic but yes and we'll be right
back you're like that's right that's why i drink a pint of whiskey sometimes i gotta fake it
but i yeah it's great when it's a shitty crowd.
I love when, I hate when someone tells me the crowd's good.
When you can turn a shitty crowd.
It's the best.
It's so much better than killing a live crowd.
But like, if people tell me a crowd's good,
first of all, I don't think anything's good.
So if people tell me a crowd's good,
I'm immediately like, they weren't that good.
Yeah.
But like, if you tell me they suck,
I'm like, I'll have a good set.
Gear up. Yeah. But I hate when people are like, they were great. Yeah. And then sometimes people do that, even though they weren't great. good yeah yeah but like if you tell me they suck i'm like i'll have a good gear up yeah but i hate
when people are like they were great yeah and then sometimes people do that even though they
weren't great yeah yeah and then it's just like sabotage that gets you going yeah it does get
that gets him going that gets your man yeah yeah yeah when you when like you're like you got a rant
coming yeah when like you know when you watch someone do bad and you know you're going into a shitty
situation and you're like how was it and they're like it was great those people should be shot
yeah come on man you can't be that daft or when you did shitty and they did shitty and they're
coming off and you're like what'd you think and they were like it's and you're like, what'd you think? And they were like, it's awesome. Wow, I could kill you. Fucking dude, can we talk?
Yeah.
Can we talk about what happened up there?
It's so annoying.
Can we agree how bad that was for both of us?
Because then you just take that aggression home,
and then you're fighting your girlfriend for no fucking reason.
And you spin out and start going like,
should I be one of those people that says it's good all the time when it's bad?
He was about to get really personal.
Big universal.
Hey, go home.
You're yelling at your girlfriend.
All of his issues right now are.
The dog's barking.
Not anymore.
I solved that fix.
I got to get her barked down.
No, you just get home and you're just like.
All of those.
There's so many fucking factors right
it could be a good joke bad show you're worried about the booking you're worried about the manager
you're worried about the conversation you had with a comic that you respect maybe you're out
of pocket maybe you said some shit you got an attitude about nonsense in front of a young comic
that doesn't know you but you maybe was i dick you're coming home with all this shit when it's
a great set you're like i don't care i don When it's a great set, you're like, I don't care.
I don't give a fuck.
I'm an army of one.
Nothing can stop me.
Can I just enter the door?
She helps me take my armor off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just hold my helmet, lady.
I made us $50 tonight.
There's some sets.
For me, even when I have a good set, most of the time now, I don't care.
It doesn't make me happy like it used to,
but there are some sets that are so good where you're just like,
it almost reminds you that you're funny.
Yes.
You're like, oh, fuck.
I am really funny.
One million percent.
And those are great sets.
I don't have them.
I mean, I have them sometimes,
but those are great sets where you're like,
because you stop believing it after a while.
It's always when there's new stuff in there.
Yes.
It's new jokes working.
It's like when you do get to a place where if you kill with old stuff,
you're like, it's only a matter of time.
I'm slowly dying.
Of course.
That was nice.
Yeah.
That's a beautiful sunset.
Yeah.
Well, I think the hard thing about comedy
is you can't really see that you're funny.
You can see that other people are funny,
and you can recognize that you can say funny shit,
but you don't like, I don't find myself funny.
Yeah.
So it's hard.
You're like, I don't think I'm funny.
You know what I mean?
I mean, I know I get laughed.
I know how to be funny,
but I'm just not laughing at me.
You know what I mean? But when you have those sets that laughed. I know how to be funny, but I'm just not laughing at me. You know what I mean?
But when you have those sets that are great,
it like reminds you that, oh, you know.
Yeah, this is how I'm...
None of this is supposed...
This is all shit I believe.
I'm just out there saying what I think.
You know what I mean?
It's like hard to tell if you're...
Yeah.
You can see other people with such clarity.
Like, see Joe List.
You're like, he's a great comic. You He's a great comic. You know the whole thing.
Yeah, but ask Joe to look at himself.
He'd say the same thing.
He's the biggest of all of us.
He's probably the first guy to be like,
I stink.
He's brilliant.
He has the ideal thing of a comic to me,
which is that he's funny when he's bombing.
And sometimes he'll
not be doing well but
like so funny now i think he must feel great after like that must be a great riff and then
he comes off he's like oh they were awful i'm like but you were so funny yeah i don't think
there's another comic on earth that's self-deprecating and charming yeah the way he is
yeah because self-deprecation should it almost comes off as like
reverse arrogance where like it's like it's off-putting yeah in a way where you're like
it seems like an easy out you're just pulling the parachute from it is reverse falling point
and the way he does it it almost ingratiate yourself with like his charm and like i'm back
on board but he refuses to get on the
boat with them you know what i mean yeah he's like no i'm dying i'm gonna die and you're like
no no we love you and he's like somehow so loving and hilarious and his self-deprecation feels like
it comes from like this old tradition of comedy yeah i mean he's he's so interesting because he's
like so natural on stage but also feels like comedy is just in his bones
I think he's
naturally the funniest person
I think it's like
to be funny when you're bombing
that's like a hard thing
like you know
but yeah no he's great but yeah everyone
hates themselves
that's the message
before Kafka when he was dying or
he'd like demanded his manager to burn all his manuscripts he just thought they were terrible
he didn't want anyone to read them and then he did it and that's why we have like you know a lot
of his books now like a lot of his books didn't like the trial and stuff really he wanted to
destroy those because he thought they were so bad you know so if he thinks that
yeah
I guess what help is there for anyone
he literally was like I'm so bad this stuff needs to be burned
like the trial is considered like a classic
I don't want any wrecking
I'm so embarrassed by this
the battle is like
I don't think I've ever gotten along with somebody
that didn't have this thought process of going, yeah, I fucking stink.
And the struggle to know you're not.
You know you're not a bit, but you're like constantly going,
you're good enough.
So you don't get along with black comics.
Dude, white comics act like black comics is what I'm talking about.
If you want to announce
my girl and I
talk about this
in every
every industry
it's like god
you meet somebody
and you're like
how are you this confident
yeah
knowing what I know
of your value
and your
your
like your talents
yeah
you should not be
parading around
as if you're flawless
well it's like
it's because they're an idiot yeah yeah exactly it's like they're not thinking Well, it's because they're an idiot.
Yeah, exactly.
It's like they're not thinking about it.
It's because they have little value
that makes them cocky.
It's because they don't have any self-awareness.
They're mongoloids.
Yeah, they're mountain mongoloids.
I always hope that it's a strategy.
Syracuse, I'll be in your town.
Are you really?
No.
Oh, God, thank God.
I would say kill yourself now. don't even find the dog a new
owner i'm not afraid though i love see your kids no no whatever it was fine yeah it was good
sometimes you just need a show to break you yes yeah you also you also like you have to do bad
like i feel like sometimes i'll be doing really well for a while like i'm on a streak and i'm like
i will do bad eventually you just have to yeah and then you have to feel bad. I feel like sometimes I'll be doing really well for a while. I'm on a streak and I'm like, I will do bad eventually. You just
have to. And then you have to
feel bad and want to get them back.
Because you get cocky. Anytime you get cocky,
you bomb. What's your point?
The fulfillment of
doing great with old shit
only has a shelf life. And if it doesn't have a shelf life,
you're going to be that dude for 10 years
doing fucking 10 minutes.
Yeah, yeah. I know, I know.
Philly had a bunch of those guys. The 10 minute oh my god there's a lot of them there's a lot of comics
who just do the same 15 minutes and i and they get booked a lot and i'm just like can we just
admit that yeah people are putting on hours are just in a different class or like people have
different material you know yeah it's also yeah you just feel like it is kind of wasting everybody's time.
Yeah.
It's like,
well,
if they're not thinking of anything new,
if they're not tired,
like if they don't believe anything different,
well,
what I don't get,
what is the point?
Yeah.
What I don't get is like,
I just lose my mind doing that.
Like it would just be boring to me.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
I write new shit just cause I'm bored.
Like,
yeah.
How are they not bored?
And it's because they're alcoholics.
Fuck, I gotta write.
Solutionary.
Let's wrap this up so I can write a bit.
I gotta piss so bad.
Do you?
Yeah.
We're good.
