We're going to do a meet and greet around 6 p.m. If you want to show up early, hang out in the day. They're doing a whole party event the whole day

called Not So Sober January. They do it every year in January. It's for true boozers that want to pretend they're being healthier. I hope to see you there. Let's get wet. Those dudes always have tables set up out front of colleges,

like Herald Square and like by NYU. Just like hand-rolled joints. I remember like when that happened in Washington Square Park, it was just like the entire fountain was just like a farmer's market of wheat. Of wheat, yeah. I was looking for apples for two hours. To smoke weed out of. Yo, sorry.

Sorry we lost your first episode. It's good to see you again So but the Patreon made it? We're fired We're fired the Patreons I had my boys take it Take a gander at the page

Great Looked good Sounded good apparently Okay cool Yeah Patreon's great Chris just didn't hit the mute button Ah

Perfect Well I'm selling you out dude It's not me No? No The mic wasn't plugged in Oh Ah, perfect. Well, I'm selling you out, dude. That's not me. No? No. The mic wasn't plugged in.

Oh. Is my mic plugged in today? Yeah. Great. We're good. I made sure of it. I mean, I don't mind. This is like a nice little adventure out of the house.

Yeah. Can I ask, did anybody get sick? Yes. Over the holiday? Yes. What'd you get? I didn't test, but my girlfriend tested covid covid uh shane i think on the road with shane i think we both got sick with covid really came back from oklahoma and texas when was that two weeks ago real high fever was sick for five

days but you never you never tested positive i don't. Or you just didn't test? Yeah. No. What, did you get COVID? I bunkered down during COVID. Yeah. Yeah, I did. But it was like four days. No, it wasn't. It wasn't. Yeah.

Yeah, I did. It wasn't. But I was wondering if it was going around. It wasn't like I got COVID and then tested positive and didn't call you guys. Oh, you mean from the last visit that you were here? Yeah. Oh, you're asking if I gave it to you? No.

I was just asking if it's going around, really. Of course. It's always going around. I think it's going around. We're always spitting in each other's mouths. Jesus. Are you getting boosted or are you getting the first shot? I stopped with the booster.

Yeah. Because now it's like, well, I got COVID. I was like sick for five days. You proved me wrong, Fouch. A year. I'm boosted. Yeah. Are you boosted?

I mean, I did like the original two boosts. Yeah, I mean, I got COVID. I'm pretty sure I didn't test, but it certainly seemed like COVID. I got in like September. And so then I was like, I'm fine. Who gives a shit? Dude, the only other time I got COVID was 2021. I got Omicron.

And I did like a... Was that like a Peloton? No, it was the one that like everybody in New York got. It was December 2021. And it was like literally like we were just calling people. And we were like, do you have it? Yes. We had a Christmas party.

Yeah. For people with COVID. I like that. That's how many people had COVID. Yeah. That fucking rules. Is that like this past Christmas or 2021? 2021.

December 2021. But they... Omicron Christmas party. They... That must have been... They probably got a new strain out of that. Yeah. Yeah.

We got it in New York, though. All the Omicrons meet to make a new... It was super Omicron. Captain Planet. Yeah. But we got it here. And then we flew to San Francisco to do shows, me and Rosebud. And then we flew to Texas to do shows.

And I tested positive in Texas. And we were still kind of being uber careful about it. So we drove home from Texas. Oh, my God. Jesus Christ. I wasn't going to get on the plane. I was like, that's irresponsible. I'm sorry.

I'm like... Is that how she got pregnant? You guys knocking around in the car? She actually did get pregnant with covid last year oh no she was covid positive and i was like come on let's mess around you're not that sick i just checked five days yeah you're probably just ovulating come on turn around give me the good stuff but i i was in like we would you, we drove from San Antonio to New York. And so most of that's in the South. You're in the South until you hit Pennsylvania.

Yeah, right. Even then. West PA is pencil talking. Until you hit Jersey, really. And it hits you like a ton of bricks. You get backhanded by a whop as soon as you get close. When we made the drive from Cincinnati to New York, my girl was like, we'll just get off in Jersey to fill up with gas and get a snack. And it's like, can't do it.

Yeah. It's hard. You got to drive 10 miles. First of all, you can't turn around. That's like when you're coming off the Penn whatever turnpike. Yeah. There's nothing. Yeah.

Well, the thing is yeah there's nothing yeah well it's the thing is there's too much and new jersey always makes it that you can't get from one place to another like quickly yeah you know you like get off and there's shit everywhere and none of it's open and none of its food you want to eat it's just open stuff and then there's a gas station six miles away and there's a giant median in the middle that you can't turn around yeah yeah just like what the fuck is happening up here i'm trying to trick you just to stay there forever that's what i think yeah but we we um then you get a chunky italian and uggs pregnant you're like well i guess i gotta open up a jug handle gas station i guess i live here i guess i live in mawa

i'm the mayor of belmar jesus christ i sometimes i would like drive around out there and i would like see you know just like a dude that kind of looked like me 10 years on but he'd be in one of those horrible like raw way or whatever yeah yeah and i was like if i fucking end up wearing a sean john velours jumpsuit not even that just if i end up being around that you know what i mean like i just would be I think I'd be gun in the mouth. Just depressed. You start plucking your eyebrows. You have a nice little curl to it. You're talking about just embracing it.

Just embracing it. Just like this is where I live. This is who I am. You were weird. You showed me some photos. Yeah, I did have some weird days. Did you ever do shows in North Jersey? Like a few. It's insane. It's insane.

It's insane. I'm weirdly disconnected. Oh, yeah, from North Jersey? Like I never have been very plugged into like the local, like the tri-state. I do New York and then I go to like D.C. or I go to Boston. Right, right, which is I think the right move. Yeah, but there's some money out there. Yeah, but North Jersey, man, it's too weird.

It's like, you know how comics will be like, if there's a kind of diverse crowd or a diverse group, they'll be like, you look like a college brochure. This is like someone was trying to make that and completely jumped the shark. The diversity in the room is not cool. You're like, who are you? i don't know how they don't know because you're in you're in like a weirdly urban area which is like north jersey but like

they're like are you talking like orange uh i know i know what you mean like yeah like orange is one of the towns like yeah yeah yeah like a like a junk drawer yeah a proper junk drawer like yeah you open up you, you got your wine opener, you got a deck of cards, you got weird pencils that you haven't used in a while. Indian penny. Rubber bands and Indian penny. Some, like, lucky charm your dad gave you.

There's some dice for some fucking reason. Forever stamps that aren't actually the correct amount. Yeah. And North Jersey is like, it's a junk drawer of, coach wallets you know like stand-up because it's like you genuinely want to be like who are you well that's that's what are you doing it's like connecticut though it doesn't have an identity it's just rich people trying to formulate a plan to get to the big apple that's all of vegas though that's like every vegas have you done vegas uh yeah yeah once like the comedy cellar there you walk in and it's like every Vegas. Have you done Vegas? Yeah, yeah, once.

Like the comedy cellar there, you walk in and it's like Kansas City Bachelorette Party. Guys that were in the Marines together getting back together for the weekend. Yeah, for some reason, a bunch of dudes from Birmingham. And none of them wanted to come to a comedy show. They were like, well, we got four hours Until the Spearmint Rhino Has our table ready Let's fucking go in here Yeah And then you're like

So I'm not like A very masculine man And they're like Oh fuck Get out of here Dude that's been the I feel like that's Like coming back on

Like from taking a break From doing stand up And then having The Stuff Island tour For the first time I was like Oh fans of comedy The experience you have When they're there To watch comedy instead of just being pulled to a

comedy club you're like yeah that was incredible yeah you're getting sucked from the front and the back and it's just lights out for two straight hours so crazy right now too because there's so many fans of comedy yeah they're i think we talked about this on the last episode where you would never see theaters being sold out by multiple comics every single weekend 10 of our friends are at a giant theater and you're just like who the fuck are these people you're like i should have stayed in raleigh dude i should have been mayor of belmore i fucked up well i fucked up because i was like on the other side of it i i'd been in la too long so i when i first got to new york like people would be funny but i'd be like that's like problematic

you know yeah we can't you know like i just i've gotten in this place where i was not funny i was very like much more like i don't think i was quite clapped or unfunny you know like where i was like trying to prove something with like i don't want to change the world, but I was like, ah, that's a little sketchy. And now it's like, I fully like embrace all of it. How many f***s do you have? No, there was like a guy though that I,

there is a guy that I, I used to kind of be like, oh, I don't fuck with that guy because I heard he was like super, like outwardly racist, like fully racist. Yeah. Like a real racist.

Which is frightening. Yeah. Like you're like, you're're racist and he's like indeed high five but then I started watching his comedy lately and I was like this guy's fucking hilarious I'm not contributing to the Patreon

but I'm like fuck it man life's short. I'll laugh at this motherfucker. Some of those guys, even like Nick DiPaolo, if you're watching his podcast, is like hysterical. That's funny for other reasons.

Shane and I used to watch his podcast late night. We would blow through his podcast. I couldn't stop laughing. But like when he wasn't trying to be funny, it was so funny. That's the best. Cause the visceral anger, that's like,

it's a glowing orb in his fucking organs of like, you know, like a guy wants to say the N word and like sprain his calf, like just really belt it out on your front lawn. Everything is illuminated. Well, it's also like, if it was like if it was like an intentional character and not like something that really is emanating from him,

it would be like Andy Kaufman level genius. Yes. He's saying the angriest shit you could imagine. And then he's also got his soundboard where he's like he's like hitting buttons and it's like it's so funny to think like a racist soundboard is so fun dude it's way to shave you shake down the curves you know what i mean their corners are out but it's so funny to think like you're that mad about what's happening at the U.S. border, but you're still trying to get the

ya-oo-ga. Ya-oo-ga. People docking in a fucking peach, taking my job. I know. It's a very delicate balance. He's Leonard Bernstein. Now we're going to go to Nick's wacky corner.

Dude, he's so funny. I think he's fucking unbelievable. I think it's hilarious that like, you know, I mean, I don't want to like besmirch the guy because I think he's probably a decent human. But real fall from grace, like really didn't read the tea leaves and kind of like the whole compound media group. Yeah. Like really didn't read the, they didn't look at the forecast yeah she and i were on there for a while yeah we did a we did a tour for delco it's trying to sell delco proper and promote we went like sam and or jim and he was with opie it was opie and jim then oh yeah i remember this and we did like a tour of all like bennington we did kumya yeah and then

kumya came to us and they were like yo yo, you and your Philly boys want to just have like a weekly show. And I was like, what does that mean? Because at that time I didn't podcast. It was the first podcast I ever had. And they were like, well, we'll just, we'll pay you like 500 bucks a week. And I was like, yes. I didn't care.

Yeah. I didn't know. I didn't give a fuck. I was like broke as hell. Yeah. I was like, the show didn't go. Yeah. It didn't go on yet.

And then we did that for like three years. But then saw like the everything shifting and moving and changing i was like i can this is why you talked talked me into doing stuff finally yeah yeah yeah we did that a couple times it was on the heels of that show being done and i was like no podcasting is yeah i hate it i don't want to do it and he's like let's just do it and they forced me to do it yeah i i i really love it i i've never cracked the code though like that's what i think it's like you got to find that thing like you guys are i'm not saying you're not i don't i don't i'm not saying lucky as like a diminutive you know what i mean but the fact that you guys are like two buddies and you just like did it and it's like it hit yeah because i've done that i've tried that so many times and it's just like when you

like get to like you know episode 25 and you're still looking at the patreon you're like wow that's not really going anywhere you're like i don't want to do this well he was he was balanced and saying like he was like look let's just take a full year don't worry about the patreon let's just get let's get one year out yeah and then we can where were you guys when you hit that year with where you like where you wanted to be oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah we got really lucky it did pretty well off the jump we didn't get lucky mom we worked our fucking dick off and people like us we were very fortunate i think the most important part for podcasting if any i have a friend that's like asking me like what what you me, just like anyone going,

hey, man, I'm looking to get in a stand-up. You have any recommendations? Do it. With podcasting, it's different. The way his mind works, even though we're congruent and we're on the same plane with many different things, he has such a different opinion and and a focal point on life and how it works yeah and everything he says is probably the opposite of what i think and feel

so conflicts in writing because they treat you they teach you conflict is content and that's how you create comedy so everything he says i'm like you're a fucking moron yeah and then out of that we find humor yeah so to talk for two hours with see i agree with this which is why it's bad podcast i know yeah yeah if you get a best friend going hey man we love the same shit it's not gonna work on a podcast you gotta find an asshole that you do love i think when i the most the biggest swing i took at it was with rosie And we had a decent following and stuff. We were doing fine, but nothing that was going to make us a living. You know, that type of thing. But it was like that thing also where we probably could have tapped into some...

There's like all these mini micro markets now, right? Where it's like if we wanted to be like a couple who is doing influence together. Yeah, got it. You know, like where we complain about what we did this week to each other. right? Where it's like, if we wanted to be a couple who is doing influence together, where we complain about what we did this week to each other. We had good back and forth because we really do annoy the shit out of each other. But we didn't tap into that market. See, that's a podcast I

would watch, is people like you trying to be that and struggling with it. Like you and your I'll watch an hour of you in hell. You and your old bud trying to be that. Like the actual

content you would make would be unwatchable but the behind the scenes what are we doing to ourselves? It would be like for Look at Dish Chris make us pasta tonight. Flower all over his face. Like, I don't fucking love this. I actually don't even know what I'm doing.

I'll get a part-time job in Jersey, dude. This show sucks. That's like the curse season, too. It's like just us stuck in like a parent influencer world. Where we have to go meet like Tammy and Gavin and do a collab video. It's like fucking... How to decorate your cul-de-sac with Andy Hanks.

Oh man, I fantasize about that though. I would love... I was watching this dude. He had one of those giant basements where it's just carpet and nothing else. Drop ceiling? I would love to just have that kind of you know like even if my commute to spots is an hour and 15 i get back i just have

that giant carpeted basement i got little hobbies down there i got little sections dude i i grew up drinking at this place called the polish american club in Clifton Heights, PA. And it was, when I talk about like the perfect scenario of a podcast, I'd have to buy seven lav mics and mic up all these animals. Yeah. And then just have cameras on every angle and then just have, you know, community talk. Like what they talk about. It's a shithole that had like Cheers or Simpsons or 60 Minutes playing. That's where they came to like,

they were living and dying at the same time. Yeah. And then I would just hire a separate guy to, to remove all the N words and the content would be. Perfection. That would be really amazing. If you could, if you could make a community talk and like you somehow got just like a

judge signed a warrant or whatever to just record. Like you were just without getting the rights from the people. Yeah. And unbeknownst to them, if you were able to record and film everything they were saying, that would be incredible. Dude, I met my brother. My brother's an electrician. He's in the electrician's union.

I would meet him for lunch and they're already pickled yeah they're still wearing they're like you know they got their own hall and shit the what the union yeah yeah local union 98 i think it isn't so they can go drink there oh no no no no they just go to whatever the clothes watering hole is no they just get ripped because that's why it takes seven years for a brick to get done certain fucking jobs where they just have like a place you can all go get yeah yeah no they do have a union hall of course they Certain fucking jobs where they just have like a place you can all go get fucked up at. Yeah, yeah, no, they do have a union hall. Of course they do.

But I would just meet them at a whatever local spot as I was traveling through town. And those dudes, I mean, they're fucking insane. Whatever local spot as I was traveling through town. Yeah, like when I came to Philly, wherever they were at, where they were building something, Chris. They built different places.

They don't work on... Like you were part of the circus. It's not fucking Egypt. There's not one pyramid. I'll see you in 10 years. I just imagine you hopping off a train. Like a cargo train. Next stop? For some reason, Tommy's

dressed in his World War II city. You got to fit in, Andy. You got your bag on. I just got back from the front lines. I'm willing to bet my brother's drinking over at... Cali O'Hellahan's. I got my lunch.

Great comedians. Yeah. But the second you pull out this. 100%. Dude, you know what these ring lights are that's a booster shot not my watch you fucking queer that's gonna turn you gay and next one i suck your dick uv does turn you gay. It does. UV? UV rays? Yeah. If that were the case, I'd be.

So I'm fucking this bitch. You have a finger secretary? Oh, man. Yeah, no, I think that that's like something that, especially on the East Coast, I don't think we have that as much on the West Coast, but there's like, like I worked at this moving company for like a decade,

and there were so many guys at the moving company that were like way funnier than any comic I knew. Yeah. But they were all criminals, and you could never get them to do what it takes to be professionally funny. They're just funny. But if you ever try to bottle it.

The truth is, you either have to be really smart or so dumb that you don't even consider the intellect aspect of stand-up. You know what I mean? Like, a guy that you would pull off a construction site, you'd be like, don't worry about any of this, dude. Just talk. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Like, it works for a very select few, you would pull off a construction site you'd be like don't worry about any of this dude just talk oh yeah you know what i mean like it works for a very select few but the smartest comics i know

are the oftentimes the funniest but a lot of times there's a gray area where you hang out with him in a green room you're like this guy yeah he doesn't have it i think he can't do this yeah that's why i like acting's hard Yeah yeah I think actors You start thinking about It's like what faces do I make But I think like Some of the best actors Are the dumbest people Like when I lived in LA

I would meet great actors And I would like Try to talk to them And they were just idiots But the whole thing was like You were like You're a firefighter And they were like

I'm a firefighter They didn't go like What does a firefighter do When he wakes up And you know They were just like I'm a firefighter do When he wakes up And you know They were just like I'm a firefighter now You're pregnant with two

Two babies They're pregnant with two babies They're just the most Jedi mind trickable people Possible You don't even have to do the thing You're just like You're a firefighter

Was it University of Penn? I thought it was Philly. Is it Stanford? It was Stanford. It's either Stanford, like Connecticut, or Stanford.

It's got to be Stanford. Stanford. They're not doing any prison experiments in Stanford. Can you Google it? Can you figure out? I don't want them around. Yeah, yeah, yeah. None of the twin rings. I'm not dressing up.

I still don't understand why that thing was so bad, because they were like Here play prisoner Well I think they were supposed to just have Like you know Kind of like a fun little time And then they took on their roles way too seriously Yeah and then people started being like genuine dicks to people And people were like that alright you went too far there

Is what Jim Jimmy would say. You know what bothers me right now? What? You know what grinds my gears? Let's get back to band podcasting. It's a new segment. No, honestly, God, every time around this year, I hate when people wear brand new gifts.

Oh, yeah. Like when I see your Christmas gear and your wish list, it drives me fucking insane. Yeah. Every person is wearing at least two brand new pieces sparkling. And I don't know why. The psychological aspect of this, I don't know why it bothers me. This is like predator podcasting.

That's Tommy's like scope on his shoulder. I never even noticed it. Did it bother you like did it bother you when you were in school and those like the the gear came out in september i don't know it might be because i never got the good stuff yeah this goes deep i'd like to talk to somebody knows what the fuck well like why i would i remember i remember that though like january when you come back to school and you would see people with all their new clothes yeah you were like this motherfucker yeah you have a shiny fubu jacket on dude you know what i would do for that dude i got this i got i

didn't i never got like the shit beat out of me but i got fucked with because i went to like a predominantly black middle school and that was like my main like wigger days yeah and i sorry am i allowed to say that i don't know yeah but Yeah, of course. But, like, I showed up with a Philadelphia Eagles starter jacket. Like, a beautiful, like, full zip. Not the poncho. Oh, yeah. Like, the pullover. Like, full zip.

What? The zip and button from 91? This would have been 94. It was a gray jacket. Yeah. And this other kid, Brian, had the same jacket. And he was like, you fucked up. Like, it was it was a gray jacket and this other kid brian had the same jacket and he was like you fucked up like it was like on like you either get rid of this jacket or i'm gonna beat you up you weren't allowed to have the same charter jacket make it into a quilt or we'll have problems

wear this on the weekends when you visit your dad you have visitation rights for your starter jacket but we we came to the conclusion, because I was like... We mutually agreed. We mutually agreed that if he took my dongles, whatever the little things that... What are those called? Croquis? Tie-offs? No, they're things you push them and they... They tighten up your thing?

Oh, he might be for sports. Dongles? Yeah, he goes, you give me those, we're all right. Give me your neck mufflers, we'll be but i remember i did get like i got punched punched one time because i bought the same sneakers as a kid yeah and it was like he was like he was like fly you know what i mean like he was just like the kid always like really well faded well dressed and then he had these shoes on i showed up the same day that he had them on and he was like all right you fucked up and i remember he punched me so hard was brian black what was he black yeah yeah all the all the kids that were punching me were black yeah i wasn't gonna let

the white kids because i went to like a magnet school for like so everybody that was white at my middle school was like a like a. It was like an advanced program. So they were all like autistic and weak and malnourished. But then they just pumped us into the, they just bust us onto the hood. Yeah, yeah. This was the Seattle prison experiment. Lower learning. lower learning yeah do you ever try did you do you ever try to explain that hitting someone over sneakers is insane no because i fully

went the other way where like half the kids like you know they just stayed indoors and just kind of tried to stay out of people's way i mean school was kind of segregated just on base where the classrooms were and where your locker ended up but like i fully wanted to be black i like like i permed my hair at one point so it was really curly i wore like you know like dicky suits i remember at one point i had a red bandana in my back pocket because everybody at my school was a blood and i was like god it's cool it's just a color yeah i was like i'm with these guys so it's probably fine at one point i had a baby mama just because no i did all of it i tried so hard i remember i saw kids like you know selling crack yeah and i was just you know

i come from like this affluent neighborhood and see i don't know is that really crack you know wow and they're like we're gonna kill you if you say anything I was like great I'm blood bro yeah I'm part of one boy slav as a Filipino uh bloods yeah pacific northwest is nuts like that you just have pods of like actual gas so crazy and then just like local trash yeah because it's weird like Seattle Seattle seattle and the suburbs are kind of like this weird mix of like you know because like you also you're like you're where you lived got different groups of immigrants right yeah like seattle got like laoasians and vietnamese and samoans yeah yeah and then all of a sudden we got like tons of ethiopians and somalians and that was kind of like what was you know made it but we didn't really have latinos we didn't have like a latino

presence yeah congrats yeah it was nice uh but then you go out to the outskirts and it's just fucking just the rednecks like way beyond anything yeah like it would make pa kind of look like dignified yeah would make like central pa be like well those people have their shit together yeah in the northwest they're just damp and racist. Yeah. Well, they get vertical. Yeah, exactly. They get vertical. That's the thing. It's like we have hicks, but they're at sea level. Yeah.

When hicks get vertical, they get scared. Yeah, when they get to high ground. Elevation. Yeah. When hicks get vertical that's beautiful oh really spooky that's when you want to be careful yeah you see a redneck above 2000 get low dude get low get flat and low wear camo just like that on your rollerblades get downhill yeah yeah i don't know what it is but it does bother me Wear camo. Strap on your rollerblades. Get downhill.

Yeah. I don't know what it is, but it does bother me. I look at the boots. I look at the jacket. Everything's sheen. But you're a pretty well-dressed guy now. I do a year-round though, baby. But do you think it's just like a... You think it's Christmas once a week.

That's really what you hate about Christmas. You feel like people are catching up You guys aren't buying new shit all the time You fucking Porsche You buy new stuff Oh nice shoes How about me every week Again

Again No dude we talked about this I love putting I purge some of my sneaks Every couple months. Put them on the curb. There's so much foot traffic because we don't have a dump for...

What do you call it? Clothes? Yeah. Like a donation. A donation box. We used to have one and they got rid of it. So now you just put it on the railing. Gone within seconds. That's great. It's incredible. I saw some guy in the coffee shop with these boots I got from Nordstrom Rack. They were your boots. My boots. Nordstrom Rack. That's great. It's incredible. I saw some guy in the coffee shop with these boots I got from Nordstrom Rack. They were your boots.

My boots. Nordstrom Rack. It's like dangerous. You put stuff out there and you can hear like tires screech. You turn around and it's like a fucking

Stephen King novel like The Langoliers or something. There's the boots. I turned around. They're gone. There's another fist. I turned around. They're gone. There's another fist fight over some Kenzori's album.

Oh man, I just realized because I hadn't driven down... What is that? Steinway? I hadn't driven down. I get real racist. Are you doxing us right now, Ian? You don't want me to say that? I'm not trying to. I learned what that word was like six months ago.

Because we got the ox. No, but it's just like I get real racist when I get to these like... Finish the sentence. No, but it's like a neighborhood where people double park a lot. Yeah. You know what I mean? Three-point turn town. Yeah.

When you three-point turn, you know you're in a neighborhood that's... Maybe they do that in your country. But in America, we have rules. Dude, people will three-point turn in the middle of hectic traffic, and it's like, the balls are you. Not just go straight, take a right, take another right, take another right. But if you honked at them, they would want to fight, too. Yeah, of course.

It's great. Why do you want to live here? You're fucking... Wait till your daughter gets to 13. Come out to a real place. They're ready to fight. They got their flashes on. They got time.

It's a warning. Dude, I saw that exact interaction happen outside of our door where like a guy was parking and a delivery guy on a moped was like on his ass, I guess. Yeah. And he got out and he was like,

you fucking piece of shit. This is your first time in America. We don't fucking do that here. We don't fucking do that here. And the guy on the bike eventually started just going, fuck you. Fuck you. He's like, oh, you speak English now.

Oh, you speak English now. And he had to back up his moped. It was crazy. It just has Grubhub on his back. This was like Christmas Eve. That's something that's beautiful though about the East Coast is because I feel like I grew up my entire life, like you can say fuck you to somebody in Seattle

and it's probably just going to go away, right? Yeah. Like if somebody fucking does something stupid on the road, you go, you fucking asshole. And they honk and then you both go. In New York, like you go, fuck you. And like literally I saw like a post truck stop and the postman was ready to fight. He was like, you're going to call me a fucking asshole?

Let's do this. I'll give up my pension. It's so beautiful. We just don't do that on the West Coast. I think it's safer here because of that, because you know you can get punched in the face. This is what we were talking about last night yeah the accessibility and the threat of violence will make a community stronger and tighter dude yeah and a family and a family that's why you don't have a threat of getting punched in the fucking mouth it ruins i consistency

of laws when i first moved here and i was parking I gave a guy the finger once because he was honking behind me and stuff. He pulled up next to me and he was like, roll your window down. I was like, no. He was like, fuck you. I'll fuck you up. I just sat there and let him pass. I remember

thinking that was right on the edge. yeah i found a guy right he was the perfect guy to give the finger to because he let me know that there's a lot of people out here that will kill me i i yeah i saw some guy do that where like they both stopped in an intersection because they were honking each other both were trying to take a left turn they fucked each other up like they got too far out so they couldn't take the left turn and so they were window to window and they both were like nobody could go anywhere dude i always say i hate it like i lived in north philly i went to drexel like so today but i lived on temples campus in fucking dude it was fallujah it was nuts Dude I I drove up there

A couple years ago Like during the pandemic I did a move I had no idea What North Philly was about North Philly is Like it's like Baltimore It's that same thing

Where there's just Whole blocks That are condemned Yeah So we lived like Six blocks off And proper Like there was only

Three houses on our block That weren't boarded up And it was owned by Some dude who was like From LA Who was like a surfer dude And he didn't give a fuck about anything. He bought three or four of these properties for like 10 grand.

That guy's a fucking gazillionaire now. Nine of us lived there. And the only saving grace was a police station across the street. But every now and then, you know that Chappelle joke about the baby selling drugs out of the limo or whatever? Oh, yeah. I became accustomed to loud either gunshots or fighting or screaming in the streets to the point where when i go like the poconos or like a mountain

if i went to utah yeah i can't sleep because it's so peaceful yeah yeah yeah and i also was raised where like there was a we had a trolley in our backyard i need sounds of mayhem trolley in the backyard yeah it was our house was here and then we had a small backyard. I need sounds of mayhem. A trolley in your backyard? Yeah, it was... Our house was here and then we had a small backyard that was the size of this rug, grass, and there was a fence and then a trolley.

Oh, okay. So it was a ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, and then the trolley would run through every 20 minutes. And then you go to the land of make-believe, Mr. Rogers. Hey, Ian, do you ever realize

Yeah. And they worked out, obviously. Kind of. I have to do a little bit of maneuvering. What kind of product? My body rejected. I can show you my product. You'd be great with.

You have thinner. Not too thin. You're in between thick and thin. I started taking the pills. Oh, the dick pills. HIMS? No, just the Propecia or whatever. Oh, okay.

You got to like sit there for like weeks. Without fucking up the growth? Exerting, you know, shit like that, yeah. Because otherwise you're overwatering the garden when you see it? Well, also like just the like...

Stress? I just fucked with it too. I like fucked with it. Because like you get a bunch of the garden when you see it. Well, also, like, just the, like, I just fucked with it, too. I, like, fucked with it. Because, like, you get a bunch of scabs all over your head. Oh, yeah, you're picking at them. I was just, like, kind of. Just doing a lot of thinking. Yeah, exactly. They take a strip off the back and then.

That's the old way. That's called, what's that called? Landscaping? Sodding? There's, like, two. There's F-U something, F-U- fut or something and fue and fut i think is like the one where they take the strip yeah and that's like you see those guys sometimes now like they'll turn it didn't work like if they get like sweaty or they go swimming you're just like oh shit you got like a whole thing yeah but i got the one where they took like all throughout the back of

my head oh wow so you couldn't individual follicles that rules and they implant them that's the one i just insert them right wow yeah 2000 so it's it's literally putting rosebuds yeah not rosebuds i didn't mean that as your wife it's fine rose bushes yeah and just in the garden yeah you're just plucking hopefully half of them work and they do it a lot, the best place to do it is Turkey. You know about this? Like, if you go to Turkey, you'll see, like, thousands of men with bandages on their heads from doing it. That's the place to go. That's, like, a normal thing in, like, the U.K.

is you fly with your buddies for your bachelor party. You go to Istanbul, you all get hair transplants. It's like Miami and Mexico for asses and tits. Yeah. How did they get so good at it? Is there a big bald turkey population? I think they're hairy. I think they're hair people. They are hair people.

I think they're also cosmetic surgery people. Oh, really? Sand and hair people. That's what we call them. The land of sand and hair. The land of sand and hair. The sand and hair belt. Is he one of the sand guys or hair guys?

He's both. How did he do that? I don't know. He lives on both sides of the B in hair. The sand in hair belt. Yeah. Is he one of the sand guys or hair guys? You're like, he's both. He's both. He's some dark guy. How did he do that? I don't know. He lives on both sides of the Bosphorus. But he ain't going to three-point turn in my name, buddy. That's their sad version of that. Callback City.

Yeah. Do you ever go to the hookah bars? I've been once. How was it? The fucking Heineken was like $12. It was nuts, dude. The fat girls were banging, though. Oh, I bet.

Dude, the puke outside of a hookah bar is something I've always... The way a dog searches for the scent of another dog's piss every time I walk past one of these hookah bars on Steinway. Well, it's got to be Spin City in there. You're taking in that much tobacco and drinking. You've got to walk out of there just like... And the bass and the music.

The lights. It's like going on the Gravitron. Remember the Gravitron? Yeah. It's like going on the Gravitron. I used to hookah all the time when I was like 20. I love that shit. I thought it was so great. I was like, this is cool.

It's kind of ethnic. It tastes like ass. I did one not too long ago. I didn't go to an actual hookah bar. It was a place in Manhattan that I had no idea what it wanted to be. It was like an oyster bar, but they had hookahs. And my girl and I were like, let's get a hookah and see what it's like. And I was like, okay.

And it was like. It fucks you up, right? That's a podcast I would listen to is guys picking up chicks in loud environments. Jesus Christ. How do they do it? Mic them up. How do they do it? What do you say?

Yeah. Every time I'm in a loud bar, I'm like, what do you even say at this volume? I know what they say. They go, what's up, ma? You good? That's it. And they're like, come in me. Fill me up, daddy.

Yeah, that was my theory is that it's loud so you can't talk and you just swap bodies. What if we started, I think we should start a movement where guys like us start wearing the shysties. I like that. You know what I mean? I like that. It's the balaclavas, like the thing that all the teenagers wear. Yeah. I think we should start wearing them just for fun. Oh, my God. It's the balaclavas, like the thing that all the teenagers wear. Yeah.

I think we should start wearing them just for fun. Oh, my God. It's never worked once for a woman. Can we do a podcast episode where we all have shais on? One million percent. We'll pretend this didn't fucking record. Come back over. I got three waiting for us. I used to wear those for sports in the winter.

Yeah. Baklavas? I didn't realize that they would catch on off the field. Yeah. They're good for crime. I guess they do make it good. They help with crime. So funny.

I don't know. There's something funny to me about committing a crime with an Under Armour bottle. It's like, yeah, it's branded. Is that sweat wicking? Yeah. It's actually good for the crime because your pheromones go up and you would smell, but this stuff wicks Would you call me

Dude there was a fucking On the way home from the gym like an hour ago Yeah Passing one of these trees there's just a Set of Honda keys car keys Some guy was like found on the street Just put them on one of the branches I'm like that's kind of nice but it's also

Kind of fucked up. Yeah. And then as I was walking 50 feet, there was four Hondas. So if you're a piece of shit, we have a lot of druggies coming, ripping through our trash for $5 cans. Did it have the electronic

opener on it? Yeah, it had the fucking... Oh, you could have just beeped it. Yeah, she could have just beeped it and then put it in the car. I wasn't touching any of that. it and then put it in the car i wasn't touching any of that you just put it in the car but they come back and they go oh my god i left them in the car and they got no idea about this story you go and you set the alarm off that's a nice one because then they're like what is my car alarm find the alarm yeah write your number and name on the thing saying, call me when you get this. Or you take the, I should have took the keys off the tree and fucking roof them. Yeah.

That would have been the neighborly thing to do. What if Dinklage was knocked out on the roof after I tossed him up there and just got awoken by Honda keys smashing off his giant weird far away. That's such a disappointing moment. I remember I locked. It's not a call back end. I remember last time we talked about it. Who did he do it to? Asmuth? Asmuth. Yeah. He winged him, dude.

That's why I want to know. Asmuth's Dinklage would be a great fight. He's the only challenge. That would be a very good fight. That would be awesome. It's bear versus lion. Yeah, that would be fucking awesome. God, dude. I think I i give it to dinklage yeah i think he has more fight in him yeah i don't know dude's dude's like a man wins

super sweet and he's he's harboring something that hasn't been unlocked yet yeah jeffrey has something that's when you say jeff, he does. Oh, yeah. He's got a fire in him, dude. Yeah. I bet you he goes fucking ham, just chews his nose off. Jeffrey the Joffrey Asmus. Joffrey Asmus. Jeffrey the

Joffrey. Just to keep it all good. That's all Dinklage hears. Dinklage throws his chicken wing 20 minutes later you're there announcing jeffrey's return to kick the shit out of dinklage you've all souped him up it's just a cop with a spotlight

i uh i think i said on the on the last episode uh was like that reminded me that every time I've met anybody that I've respected it's been an awful exchange

anytime every time I've met a comedy hero they've been like I want nothing to do with you yeah they're pieces of shit

they do not like me yeah yeah that's why we got along because I saw them it's almost been like a running theme for your life

it feels like yeah oh yeah everyone you like doesn't like you well i definitely think i have like uh black people at school that's true well yes he's no but i do i do he's offensively white you have tapped into something which is i have a very like um like howdy doody ass you know, really want you to like me. But it's like, you know, like the friendly thing. Like Esty from the Comedy Cellar. She hates me. She hates me. And it's all because I like wanted her to like me so much that every time I'd come in, I'd be like, so Tel Aviv, what's Tel Aviv like?

You know, like trying to fucking talk to her about Israel. And she was like, nothing to do with you. That's why I'm going to walk up to her and I'm just going to go free Palestine. Yeah.
