Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to a very special episode of the Adam Friedland Show podcast. As we've alluded to in the last couple of weeks, we are in dire financial straits these days. We're trying to save the business. We are being threatened by potentially filing for Chapter 7 or 11 bankruptcy. So what many of you don't know is that those of you who don't subscribe to our page. Hello, and welcome to the Adam Friedland Show podcast. Very special episode. Before we start, I just want to introduce you guys.
Starting point is 00:00:39 A lot of people, the show has hit, in any long relationship, you're with a girl. Sometimes you don't fuck for a couple months. And Nick and I are in that kind of stage right now. I think it's become apparent to the fans. And they want to get us fucking again. They want to spice up our relationship a little bit.
Starting point is 00:00:58 And a lot of you have been asking for an official Adam Friedland Show podcast mascot. And so I came back from the weekend. I was in Detroit last weekend. Thank you to everyone who came to the shows in Detroit and Boston. They were incredible shows. And I came back.
Starting point is 00:01:15 The studio was spotless. He cleaned for me, which made me feel good. And also, I saw this gentleman over here. And Nick brought into our lives the new official Adam Friedland show mascot. This is Mr. Hashimoto. He was once a file cabinet. And now he is kind of like a Japanese salary man,
Starting point is 00:01:37 kind of like a bukkake style. You know the deal.

Also, we release a lot of other exclusive content this week, the shooting script for the last episode of the Paul Schrader episode of the talk show. And also, we're gonna figure out how to do for our Patreon subscribers, if you don't subscribe, these were some props
Starting point is 00:02:25 that Nick made for the last sketch that didn't actually end up making it into the episode, but we kind of, we wanted to figure out a way for our subscribers on Patreon to have a contest or something. We don't know how to do it specifically, but we're going to be doing it in the next couple of weeks. For these exclusive, Nick ordered these PS5 cases. I'll get to you, I'll get to you in a second. PS5 cases and he got a photo printer and then photoshopped these PlayStation games. For instance, Master of the Senate, Lyndon Johnson, Robert Caro. This is the PS5 game.
Starting point is 00:03:07 This is the last bit of Pussy, Part 2. Of course, the Capcom, Boys Don't Cry. And who could forget Gay Madden 24, which I hear is quite good. Oh, the Holy Quran. This is good, too. So guys, if you don't subscribe to Patreon and you want to enter the contest and you want to see the new digital short series,
Starting point is 00:03:27 of course the weekly podcast, and enter a chance for you to win one of these exclusive PS5 games developed by Nick Mullen for our last sketch that didn't make it in, because it was a nightmare of a scenario, and I'm glad it's behind us. Finally, because money is getting tight,
Starting point is 00:03:46 we did also have a Fuck a Fan challenge, and I'd like to introduce you guys to the winner of the Fuck a Fan challenge. You wanna introduce yourself, your name? Hey, out there in TV land, my name is Riley. Adam let me fuck him, and he fucked me. I wouldn't say let you, it was kind of I had to. Yeah, he had, he had to let me fuck him. It was me fucking Adam. Just kidding, it was kind of I had to. Yeah, he had. He had to let me fuck him.
Starting point is 00:04:05 It was me fucking at him. Just kidding, that was kind of a nasty joke. Riley and I are good friends, that's my friend Riley Walker. He is a Grammy award winning musician. Never even been in the consideration of the conversation for a Grammy. You worked with everyone from Robert Plant to John Bonham to... Yeah, Bonzo. Me and Bonzo used to hit it hard back in the late 70s. Mr. Keith Moon, of course.
Starting point is 00:04:31 RIP. Brian Eno, Brian Pinheiro. Brian Pinheiro. We worked with all of them. He's a very talented musician. Probably, I would venture to say musical genius. He never would. Yeah, so everyone give it up for Riley Walker musical genius. He never would. Yeah, so everyone give it up for Riley Walker, Mr. Guaranteed 11 inches Riley Walker. Welcome to the show pal.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Nick's on the road, but we will, I think we should check back in with Nick later on in the episode. Yeah, let's give Nick a shout. I'm doing you no favors by being on here. I'm nobody at all, so I really appreciate it. Well, I mean, in the music community, I think you're quite heralded and well-respected.
Starting point is 00:05:09 But definitely in the podcast fan audience, I think you might receive death threats. Yeah, I'm going to be transferring at Union Station and get a knife in my side. I'm not really looking forward to it, because I'm not Nick, and I'm not a comic. Yeah, by virtue of the fact that you're not Nick, yeah, I've put actually your life in danger.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna die. It's totally worth it. Which is kind of how Jews all around the country are feeling right now. So, you know, maybe walk a mile in our shoes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm finally there. With the rise of anti-Semitism. Riley is a buddy of mine, very funny dude, musician,
Starting point is 00:05:44 and also he was been a fan. He was an OG fan of Come Town. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You guys were big on the stereo back in the day in the tour van and stuff. You listened on a stereo. On a stereo, on a boombox. Yeah. I remember, I don't know if it's...
Starting point is 00:06:00 I think I asked you if I could say this before, but when Riley liked to party a little bit too much, he had to go away to a place that teaches you not to party anymore. A clinic. And our friends would explain come town bits that he was missing because of your incarceration. Yeah, in handwritten letter form. He was getting come town bits written by hand by our friends.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Yeah, it was contraband. They got it into the rehab and I read it and laugh and it got me one day closer to serenity and I'm here now with you and it's a real joy. So we, I essentially got you a little bit. Yeah, you got me clean. Like I owe it to Adam. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:40 I owe it to Adam because I'm clean. Five years, five years now. Five years clean. Let's give it up for Riley. Thank you very much, thank you very much. He used to be one of the most fun guys, now he's. And I suck. Now you suck.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Yeah, ice me. Yeah, congratulations to you of course. Yeah, contraband, so Brian took it in like his ass or something. No, it was mailed in letter form, but they would read the letters and there'd be like, hey, I hope you're doing well. There'd be some sort of communication at first
Starting point is 00:07:05 and then when we passed the first paragraph it's like a prison letter and then the rest was just funny stuff that you were saying at the time and it was I'm sure it wasn't anything I was saying I'm sure it was more no you're a really funny guy what what do they say and then they said Adam and then they were like Adam you're gay yeah a lot of stuff calling you gay and you left went while you were in a drug withdrawal. Drug withdrawal, yeah. Drug withdrawal.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Yeah, absolutely. While the nurse was by my side holding my hand. Really? Yeah. Is it like that? Yeah, yeah. You're like withdrawing and having nightmares and pissing and shitting in the bed. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:07:39 I thought it was more of a sexual... When you say nurse, I think porn. No, I wasn't getting jerked off or anything. It was a total clinical thing. Yeah, yeah. I didn't even think my dick No, I wasn't getting jerked off or anything. It was a total clinical thing. Yeah, yeah. I don't even think my dick worked at the time. Your dick didn't work. I was dying.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Oh, yeah. Well, congratulations. We're glad that you're here. Yeah, I'm glad to be here, buddy. Thanks a lot. I like being alive. Oh, congratulations. We're very proud of you.
Starting point is 00:07:59 I'm a big fan of Riley. Thanks, pal. He's one of the best guys I know, pretty much. Oh, thanks. And that's why we call him Mr. Guaranteed 11 inches of course. Yeah, thank you very much guys. And that's a guarantee to every guy watching. Who canceled on this to make me come on the podcast?
Starting point is 00:08:16 Nick had to go on the road. Oh Nick had to go on the road. And you thought of your coolest, most famous friend, me. I thought of my friend that needs this. Yeah, I need this pretty bad, actually. My career's in a real downturn. I made up a Fuck-A-Fan challenge, right? And I sent it to you in an email,
Starting point is 00:08:32 and it seemed like there were other people... You couldn't get Sufjan Stevens? No, no, no. You couldn't get Sufjan? Brother, I made up a friend. You don't have the poll for Sufjan? I made up a friend. It just sucks.
Starting point is 00:08:43 First of all, Sufjan Stevens, I don't think he'd like this very much. He would love it. You think so? Yeah, close personal friend. What's his vibe like? I've actually never met Sufjan Stevens. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Yeah, yeah. But I assume he'd write a whole concept album about it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Can you... So Riley... One thing I was thinking today is Riley has a lot of contacts in the music industry. Yeah, yeah. You're a lot of contacts in the music industry. You're a veteran of- Indie rock.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Indie rock. Yeah, the indie rock business I know everybody, pretty much, except Sufjan. Yeah, so like you have a lot of, I'm sure in your address book or whatever it is on the iPhone, you have a lot of names in there. Ton of big names, yeah. Yeah, like Mr. Dave Matthews, for instance.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Dave, yeah. Dave's, yeah, David. You thinks, for instance. Dave, yeah. Dave's a... Yeah, David. You think we... Should we call him right now? Maybe he's on safari right now. He likes to go to the motherland a whole lot. Oh, yeah, I'm a South African as well. Yeah, you guys are South African brothers.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Yeah, yeah. Well, not biologically. But you think he's on... He wouldn't like to be called right now. I don't know. Just call him right now. Okay. You think you're self-deaf? Yeah, he drank himself stupid and then he died. I feel't know. Just call him right now. OK. Drank yourself to death? Yeah, he drank himself stupid, and then he died.
Starting point is 00:09:47 I feel like no one's drank themselves to death since, like, Hendrix. Hendrix drowned in a bathtub with a bottle of wine. He joked on his own vomit. And his penis was huge, apparently. Yeah, that's what I've heard as well. Yeah. Left-handed penis.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Left-handed penis, yeah. He had a left-handed penis. Are youhanded penis, yeah. He hit a left-handed penis. Are you texting Dave Matthews first? No. Really? I mean, Riley, I thought you would love it. If you're doing this to get close to Dave Matthews, I'm on here for the wrong reasons. Listen, brother, I'm not... Yeah, maybe I am using...
Starting point is 00:10:19 You text Dave Matthews? You texted Dave Matthews. What'd you say? I said, what's up? Are you available for a call? Really? Yeah. So Riley actually was a Dave Matthews fan growing up, and you recorded a covers album. Yeah, and everybody hated it, and I lost the record label.
Starting point is 00:10:34 I was on a ton of money. But everyone hated it, except for who? Except for Dave Matthews. Mr. Dave Matthews. Yeah, Dave Matthews respected it. Dave Matthews loved it. Shouts out to Dave Matthews. Very good guy. Shouts out to Dave Matthews.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Very good guy. Lost the record label tens of thousands of dollars, still recovering from debt. Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah. So you're jaded for the music industry. Riley... Yeah, I'm independent.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Yeah, you're independent. You're totally independent. Riley has been telling me for years, he's like, I'm done with the rocker dream. Yeah, the rocker dream is done. Podcasts have all the money now and you took all the fame. So you think that- You siphoned it from us. We are kind of the new-
Starting point is 00:11:08 Yeah, you're the new rock stars and it's painful. Really? It must really suck for you guys. Yeah, man. Life is pretty fucking shit. It's not cool. It's really bad, actually. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:17 I'm out here dying, dude. I'm like not okay. I've lost everything. I've lost everything. No, you're fine, dude. I'm all right for today. You're happy. Should we prank Nick? Yeah, you're fine, dude. I'm all right for today.
Starting point is 00:11:25 You're happy. Should we prank Nick? Yeah, you want to give Nick a call? Yeah, I'm gonna give him a call. He's in a bad mood. What should the prank be, though? Is it, where is he? He doesn't want to be on the road right now.
Starting point is 00:11:39 He's on the road doing comedy. He's doing comedy. Yeah. He's a real... I'll say this. I'll say this. I'll say this. I'll say this.
Starting point is 00:11:48 I'll say this. I'll say this. I'll say this. I'll say this. Hey dude, we got a big problem. What's up? I came into the studio and Mr. Hashimoto was covered in blood and calm.
Starting point is 00:12:01 What? Mr. Hashimoto was covered in blood and cum. So? That you're pranked. What do you mean? There are other guys here that are laughing their asses off right now. I fucking pranked your ass. You really thought that a file cabinet could get brutally sexually assaulted?
Starting point is 00:12:27 Well, why couldn't it? I don't know, because it doesn't have a pussy, dude. It's made out of metal. I've fucked metal things before. Oh yeah, Riley's here. He says hi. Hey Riley. Hey buddy. I don't think you understand how cum works. I think I understand how cum works, brother.
Starting point is 00:12:45 It doesn't, it can go on anything. It doesn't have to go on, uh, it doesn't have to be like a person. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah, yeah, I know what you're saying. Like, on the floor or in the toilet. Oh, Nick, guess what? You're double-pranked.
Starting point is 00:13:04 We're on the fucking show right now Yeah, yes, you want you want it you must feel like a real fucking idiot right now So I understand do we still have the file cabinet character no the file cabinet character yeah, we still have it. -"Okay, well, if I'm on the show, I guess I better get into the show mode. What is up? Good afternoon. Welcome to the Adam Friedland Show." -"Welcome to the Adam Friedland Show." -"Hey, Nick, thanks for letting me be on. I really appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:13:34 I need this more than you need me." -"Hey, hey, hey, hey, could you not?" -"Sorry." -"Yeah, you interrupted. It was pretty rude, actually." -"Sorry. Could you not? Please? I'm doing the..." -"Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a fucking..." -"Good afternoon." -"Go ahead. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:13:46 One more, three, two, one. Wow. Nick? Wow. I was counting you down. Wow. Just do your good afternoon, brother. Come on.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Well, now I feel patronized. I'm not patronizing. Okay, so good afternoon. Welcome to the Adam Friedland Show. Live via satellite, we got Nick Mullen, and we are joined by Riley Walker, multi-grammy, platinum award winning, the writer of Umbrella by Rihanna, actually.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know that he did that? Did you really? Yeah, it was my idea to do the Ella Ella Ella part. Yeah. I put my kids through college with that. So what's about an umbrella? Well. That's actually about an umbrella. Well, it's actually about a risky gay sex act.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Yeah, it comes from first-hand experience. It's called the umbrella, yeah. Is that for real? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, it's about going to Grand Central and blowing people anonymously. I can't tell. You guys are such master prank artists. I can't tell what I'm such master prank artists I can't
Starting point is 00:14:45 tell what I'm being pranked and what. Yeah I think that is a good lesson about pranking is like if you prank too much then like you kind of you kind of will alienate. What is an umbrella about? Do black people use umbrellas? I think they do in like a New Orleans style like funeral marches and stuff? Ah yeah, but then it comes with a trombone. Yeah, yeah, there's a jazz aspect to it. It is kind of like a, it's kind of the silent jazz instrument. Would you say that as a musician, Riley?
Starting point is 00:15:13 A trombone is the silent jazz? No, no, the umbrella. Yeah, the umbrella has a big part in jazz history for sure, documented. Yeah, and so Riley. Can you tell everybody that you got a guitar? Yeah, yeah, actually the guitar is on stage right now. It's a really small body guitar,
Starting point is 00:15:32 kind of for, I'd say like tweens. Yeah, it's a, if anyone doesn't know, Sam Ash is going out of business in midtown Manhattan. Don't fucking tell them, dude. I swear to God, if one of these fucking podcast losers buys that sousaphone before me because you blew up the Sam Ash sale, we're done. We're done, pal.
Starting point is 00:15:53 He was literally staring at a sousaphone for like 20 minutes. He's like, Dude, we got to get this for the studio. It's a business expense. Yeah, you can lay it down. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it makes more sense than a stupid guitar. You bought a child's guitar?
Starting point is 00:16:07 Yeah, it's like a tween guitar. Yeah, it's like for girls that want to learn Lana Del Rey. Mm-hmm. Do women still play the ukulele? Is that a thing? It's prevalent, yeah. They do really well. Now, we're all millennials and we're old now, so there's a bitch that's just like 35, just nasty. They do like Yeah, basically a senior citizen that's like playing a ukulele Wondering if it's still cute. Yeah. Yeah
Starting point is 00:16:41 Yeah, that's a type of person you can be now. Yeah, she's a Menopausal ukulele playing. Yeah, kind of like a fat Zooey Deschanel style. Not even fat, dude. Not even. Oh. Just... In fact, on paper, still incredibly hot. I mean, any girl is beautiful to me. Yeah, but too old. Too old?
Starting point is 00:17:04 Sorry. Yeah, yeah. Too old. I'm sorry. What am I going to do with a 35-year-old? Your ages are probably covered in cobwebs by now. And Kosti's like the Addams Family House. Oh, Nick, I think I got to stop you right there. I just want to tell our audience. I think I might stop you right there. I just wanna tell our audience. I think I might have poisoned myself.
Starting point is 00:17:27 I just had something called Carolina kettle cooked coastal crab boiled potato chips with a can of Mountain Dew and I don't think these two are supposed to combine. Really? Oh yeah, you're in Raleigh, North Carolina right now. I'm in Raleigh, North Carolina. I would invite you guys to the show, but unfortunately, they are sold out completely.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Are they? No, not even close. Yeah, no, I'm looking at, I got the ticket counts. This might be the worst weekend yet since... In solidarity, I know that feeling very well. What's the smallest audience you've performed for? Just the sound guy. Just the sound guy?
Starting point is 00:18:09 Yeah. See, Riley's from a DIY ethic. Yeah, I'm pumped. So we feel like failures. Riley's like, this actually makes me, I'm a better artist because I don't have... Yeah, because I suck and can't, because I can't manifest money.
Starting point is 00:18:23 I'm a great person This is gonna blow up it's not Yeah Yeah, could be. And then you go start your own podcast, and you're making just a shit ton of money podcasting. I wish. And then you're like, okay, well, I guess I can't really tour right now because I got to focus on podcasting. And then six years go by. And then your fans who know you as a podcaster, they go, oh, well, Riley used to play music.
Starting point is 00:19:03 And then the podcast starts to, the fat guy leaves. The fat guy leaves, yeah. The fat guy leaves. And you're like, oh, boy. And you're like, oh, well, I can't do the podcast anymore. I guess I'll go back to playing music. Yeah. And you go play music.
Starting point is 00:19:16 And then the entire podcast audience realizes you were lying about knowing how to play music the entire time. That's sort of the situation we're in. Which reminds me, guys, about Babel. You fucking whore. What's the best way to learn a language? Immersion, living where the language is spoken and using it every day.
Starting point is 00:19:43 But if that's not in the cards, you can still learn a language the second best way. And that's with Babel. One in five Americans have learned a new language on their bucket list. If that's you, make 2024 the year you finally check it off the list with Babel. You know, actually, Riley, I want to learn Arabic so I can learn the term, I'm sorry. Shukriya. Thank you. Oh, well, I need to'm sorry. Shukriya, thank you. Oh well I need to learn sorry. As-salam. I always imagine that the Tower of Babel, the language that everyone spoke, if you just look at the biblical names, the language that people spoke probably sounded something like a Delta Blues scat before the tower was smashed.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Everybody was kind of going around just doing like a, sup dub nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness,
Starting point is 00:20:35 nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness,
Starting point is 00:20:42 nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness, nebukkaness,... Very, very cool, Adam. You know what's funny? I was on the plane on the way here. Yeah. And, uh, and like I was, like, there was, uh, there... I was thinking about a couple of things. I was texting people about it. It was kind of like... There was an Indian guy, it's like probably like a six-year-old Indian man, with his shoes
Starting point is 00:20:58 and socks completely off. Uh-huh. Just trying to just cruise into the cockpit looking for the bathroom. And I love guys like whether like oh no That's you know, you can't go in there. That's like a crime But just just the way guys like that just make themselves like completely comfortable with his shoes off You know, it's I was like But yeah, just texting about how it's like, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:37 yeah, I'm not going to say it on the show. So fast forward to the end of 2024. OK, I was going to say it on the show. Because then I'm making jokes, right? And then it's like, you know, they go to tackle him and then I explain to him, like, no, he's Indian. He's Indian. He's not Muslim. He's not Muslim or whatever.
Starting point is 00:21:51 And I'm making the jokes, like jokes like that, saying terrorists and stuff on my phone with my friend, you know? Yeah. I'm like, oh, well, I hope the people behind me can't see my phone, you know? Because then I also, in that conversation, I pitched a sketch where it's like, it's 9-11, right? And I'm like, oh, I hope the people behind me can't see my phone, you know? Because then I also, in that conversation, I pitched a sketch where it's like, it's 9-11,
Starting point is 00:22:03 right? And I'm like, oh, well, I hope the people behind me can't see my phone, you know? Because then I also, in that conversation, I pitched a sketch where it's like, it's 9-11, right? And I'm like, oh, well, I hope the people behind me can't see my phone, you know? they're also in that conversation. I just sketch where it's like it's 9-eleven, right and Like the hijackers have already taken over the plane You know, yeah, the hijackers are taking over the plane and then some guy stands up. He's like He's like this is bullshit. This is our lives and we're gonna sit here and be cowards? And then people are like, yeah, yeah, this guy's right. And he's like whipping them up into a frenzy. He's like, we're gonna take things into our own hands. We're not just gonna sit, he's like,
Starting point is 00:22:35 what are we gonna just sit here and let these fucking faggots steal our plane? Whoa, yeah, whoa, yeah. And then everybody, he kinda just looted and everybody's sort of just looking out the window. Everyone's like, this guy's a homophobe. Well, this guy's a, no, he's a bigot. He's a bigot.
Starting point is 00:22:50 He's a big, because he's a full 9-11. So, the moral of the story is that everyone dies because they didn't want to help a bigot. Right, yeah, that's the joke, I guess. Yeah, yeah, that's the joke, I guess. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. What do you think about that, Ryan? I think it's great that people are standing up to hate.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Yeah, yeah, I agree. In the sketch. Yeah. Adam, don't no-sell my sketch idea. I didn't no-sell it, dude. I was like, dude, I was... Oh, okay, so what's the premise here? You know what the premise is.
Starting point is 00:23:23 I get it. The premise is that it's complicated. Life is complicated, you know? Sometimes you think you're standing up to bigotry and then you die in 9-11 and then the towers crumble. Excuse me, but the correct response was ha ha, not oh. I was laughing. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:39 You can't see it because you're on speakerphone. Fast forward to the end of 2024. Think of your goals. What can you do right now to give yourself the best chance of succeeding? If you want to learn a new language, you absolutely should get Babel. Do you know any other languages, Riley?
Starting point is 00:23:54 No. No. Did you know learning actually makes a sound? It's true. And then there's a sound effect for Babel, which we're going to impose. Start the ad readover. Is Pete switching?
Starting point is 00:24:05 Pete? Yes. Yeah, Pete's switching. Okay, so now clean break, start the ad read now. Now, okay. We'll erase, they're not gonna, let's leave it in because I want my sketch idea in the episode. No, it's good, it's worth leaving in.
Starting point is 00:24:21 But I don't wanna deal with them whining. With them about the 9-11 and then the slur. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll say ad-rate and then I'll finish the story. We got in trouble with another sponsor. Sure, sure. Which we're going to maybe talk about later in the show. Guys, what's the best way to learn a language?
Starting point is 00:24:36 Immersion. Living where the language is spoken and using it every day. But if that's on the cards, you can still learn a language. The second best way, and that's with Babel. One in five Americans have learned a new language on their bucket list. And if that's you, make 2024 the year you finally check it off the list with Babel. Fast forward to the end of 2024.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Think of your goals. What can you do right now to give yourself the best chance of succeeding? If you want to learn a new language, you absolutely should get Babel. So did you know that learning actually makes a sound? And then in post we'll put the sound in. That's the sound of you learning a new language with Babel.

Starting point is 00:26:24 Well, then he's like, I'm like, where are you at? He's like, we just finished at Walmart. I'm like, well, I'm not gonna call a Lyft to your bus. Yeah, well, but where is the bus? Just fucking come pick me up in the goddamn bus. Yeah, it moved. They have a bus? They got a John Madden bus, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:43 What do you mean a John Madden bus? Like an RV. Oh, for what? For just... Driving around, doing bits, podcasting, psychedelic mushrooms. Oh, okay. Girls, mad. Mad girls. Guys. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Comedians can just afford to do that shit. That's insane. Sorry. How are you all so rich? It fucking blows my mind. Anyways, OK. Sorry, dude. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:27:17 We've got some distance from the average. So anyways, I'm pitching this sketch idea about this guy that keeps digging this hole deeper. He's like, we're gonna let some fucking sample homo, you know. And he thinks that they're also gay. Yeah, okay. Yeah, right, yeah. I'm texting this stuff on, you know, and I'm like, oh man, I hope the people behind me can't see what I'm texting. Yeah, because you're saying a lot of risk-based stuff. Right, yeah, but imagine you're on a plane
Starting point is 00:27:48 and you see someone saying, like, terrorism and bomb and hijack and you get worried. And slurs. Yeah. Hold on. You see terrorism and bombing and hijack and you get worried. And then you see the N-word and the F-word, and you're like, oh, thank God, they're a patriot. They're like, oh, my God, thank God.
Starting point is 00:28:09 I was worried. This guy wasn't an American. This guy wasn't a proud American. Oh, thank God. He's a good old boy. And that, Riley, is how you make the big bucks. That's how we make the big bucks, dude. The worst that's gonna happen is he's gonna get into
Starting point is 00:28:28 a passive-aggressive fit with the flight attendant about putting his seatbelt on. Yeah. Yeah, but, yeah, and think that, like, that COVID is still happening and that they want to give him a vaccine. Before the plane went down in Shanksville, the guy said, let's roll.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Yeah, let's roll is pimp. Yeah, let's roll is really, yeah. I was imagining, I was imagining, too, right? Like, because, you know, that Indian guy went to get up, and I'm like, I wonder if that word bothers anybody. And then I thought about how sometimes, like, racism is good, you know? Because, like, I know, I can, I know when a guy is, like, Hindu.
Starting point is 00:29:03 I can tell the difference between a Sikh and a Hindu, right? That one's pretty easy. But it's like, you know, so it i can sign no what i think you know i can tell the difference in the secret and i was pretty but it's like it you know so it's like okay you're sitting next to like an old lady right and she's like you know nervous because she sees a senior guy heading towards a cockpit and explainer earlier like all actually see that bracelet that means that he's a muscle he's actually here is your interest he can be they have actually been at war with the Mujahideen
Starting point is 00:29:27 for a very long time. That's actually the number one guy you want in the cockpit if Muslims were to attack. And she's like, oh my God, thank you. And then I see that the Indian guy is actually going to the bathroom, and I'm like, no! Stop it! Stop him! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo That was pretty good, dude.
Starting point is 00:30:13 That was pretty good. I'm glad you had the space away from the read to get that out there. Wait, so those guys are partying on a bus that they're not gonna let you on? Ari just said, okay, well, we'll be at the Improv in an hour. It's only 15 minutes from you.
Starting point is 00:30:31 So go meet them. And I don't know if that means... I don't know if that means we'll pick you up in the bus or, again, like, I'm not calling... Meet you means meet you at the Improv. If your fucking hotel has wheels on it, like, what is the point? Okay, we got the bus and now it's parked. It's a good opportunity to join an e-bike program.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Yeah, yeah, why don't you take one of those little Lime scooters? Why don't they just pick me up in the John Madden bus? I don't know, that sounds like a you and Ari issue. Yeah, well, if I had a John Madden bus and my friend was in town 10 minutes away, you know, it'd be like... First, they're not driving it, dude. They have a driver.
Starting point is 00:31:14 There's a guy who just drives the bus around. He's a professional driver. Right. Just be like, hey, go here. A slave, if you will. I wish I hadn't eaten those chips. Um, you, what do you take on the road? You don't take an RV? No, I've never graduated that level, just vans.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Just vans? Church vans. You still drive your van around the city? No, I sold it to some pipe fitter in Queens. Come on, you can't say that. Especially after what Nick said about those Muslims on the plane. Well, this guy was Eastern European. Oh, a pipe fitter is a job.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Yeah. Oh. Was that like, did you think that was like a slur? Oh, you thought it was a pejorative slur? Homophobic slur. No, no, like a legit, like, Ukrainian dude. Oh. Who had, like, three teeth and like.
Starting point is 00:31:57 It's a good job being a pipe fitter. It's a great job. What do they do? Well, they install PVC. Oh, you know what? I confused pipeipefitter with ButtPirate. Just because you're sick. You're perverted. Because you've never worked a blue collar job in your life. What are you fucking talking about, dude? I was on the blue collar comedy tour.
Starting point is 00:32:21 He has a fluffer. I was sucking Bill Ingvold's dick. You got Foxworthy down in there? I used to go to... I'd suck Ingvold and then I'd go... they call it skiing where you do a double hand job. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. I'd go skiing on Foxworthy and tater salad. Ron White.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Ron White tater salad. Legend, dude. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Last night, I got my ass eaten by a five-year-old. That's my favorite part about him like that. He's the best. I turned around and I said, how old are you, sweetie? 22, 23?
Starting point is 00:33:01 She pulls her mouth off my ass and she says That's a good tag. He drinks brandy? I thought it was whiskey. Oh, whatever. He drinks crevasse? That is kind of true. There's that and then there's, they say Yasser Arafat and Ringo Starr were both
Starting point is 00:33:44 in the same person. That is kind of true. Yeah. There's that and then there's, they say Yasser Arafat and Ringo Starr look pretty much the same person. They do look the same. Yeah, yeah. Those are the two that people say. No, and Scottie Pippen and Osama Bin Laden. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:59 No, Osama Bin Laden looks like, he looks like somebody. But it's not, he's kind of, he was a handsome guy. He's a great looking guy. Yeah a... He was a handsome guy. He's a great-looking guy. Yeah. Hell of a good-looking guy. You think he's handsome or no? Sambulant, one of the sexiest people ever, yeah. Yeah, I think... And he had a big one, too, apparently. Had to, yeah. Seal Team Six said
Starting point is 00:34:15 he had one of the biggest ones ever. Yeah, that was the thing they shot that killed him. They shot his dick. Yeah, they shot him in the dick. That was, like... That was famously... He was looking at... He had 10 porn screens up, like the architect. Yeah. He was in.
Starting point is 00:34:29 He was masturbating. And then, yeah, apparently, he hid behind a naked woman that he just uses as a shield, as they say. He has SEAL Team Six knocked on the door. He's like, don't come in. Come on, bro. Give me one minute. He like turned the faucet on
Starting point is 00:34:45 to make it sound like he was showering. I'm bathing. Yeah. Don't come in! Didn't they just throw, they threw his body into like the Red Sea? They threw it into, I thought the Atlantic Ocean, yeah, but they threw it in the ocean.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Yeah, they like put cement in a bag. Oh, even better, dude. Imagine you're just like, you're some like, just Italian fucking faggot looking for octopus, you know? And you pull that. I think that's in the Mediterranean, but yeah. No, Italy. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Right, yeah, and you just, you pull up a sum of Bin're on the boat and it's gone. Right, yeah, you just pull up Osama Bin Laden on the reel and then you take it to your impoverished village and you're just trying to sell. Somebody probably ate it.
Starting point is 00:35:32 You flay it. I guarantee it, somebody probably, some fucking weird European freak probably ended up eating Osama Bin Laden. They do that, they eat like snails and Osama Bin Laden and stuff out there. Yeah, I know. You can't throw it in a French restaurant.

I understand that going to a coffee shop 50 to 80 percent of the baristas are gonna be gay or some type of new gay. Yeah. They didn't have squish mollos and cat ears. Like I understand that you know but there was one guy there that was just, you know, he was just. He'd wear like dockers. Wait, he looked like he liked books, you know? Yeah, yeah. And it was like, that was his thing.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Seems like he read one too many books, you know? You know those glasses that are only for people that read too many books? Like the very thin wire. Yes. Like, yeah, those. Kind of like the Russian Revolutionary glasses. Yes. Yes.

Starting point is 00:41:23 Yeah, he was really just changed his whole vibe. Yeah, I mean, it looked like he had just been to Mardi Gras. Yeah, maybe he did.

Starting point is 00:49:14 Yeah. I think you're looking at that. Right. And he sold the van. Oh, okay. So you had to sell the van. And it was an Eastern European, I should say. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Okay. Whatever it was. But some might say dire straits. Money for nothing. Money for nothing. Yeah. Now, we spent hundreds and hundreds and hundreds I don't know who it's with. We spent hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars making a show and we have gotten no offers.
Starting point is 00:49:54 Yeah. Well, the main reason I asked you on is to see if you can maybe tell them. Oh, so I can sell Apple Corps, your TV show? So you're so good at selling. We're doing you a favor. We're bringing you on the show. Yeah, this so good at selling. We're doing you a favor. We're bringing you on the show. Yeah, this is huge for you.

Ride a limo around New York like Evan McAlister. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:01 But no, I don't think I've actually been in a stretch limo. How about this, dude? Ari Shavir's having all this fun in a John Madden bus, and first of all, it's a little rude to you because you've talked about John Madden buses for a while that you wanna get one. It's a passion of yours.

Starting point is 00:52:34 You can't get none. You can't get no respect. From HBO. So how about this, dude? From Arsh, if you're from John Madden. Listen, the world is against us. The industry is against us. Riley's against us. Pete, I don't trust. I mean, he's doing a great job so far, but I'm never gonna fully trust him.

Dude yeah, he's getting pretty big right now but I don't know, you know. What goes up must come down, you know? Exactly.

It's totally chill now. Yeah. So if you could make your perfect guitarist, you put a little bit of the edge.
Starting point is 00:57:19 A little bit of the edge. You put a little bit of what? Johnny Marr? A little bit of Johnny Marr. You don't like the Smith? Not a huge Smith. Why not? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Just a lot of bitching, I guess. I mean, I can't say anything that hasn't been said. You know that they speak to Mexican-American culture. I think they do have a big Latino fan base. Yeah. It's great. They love that and Tweety Bird. They love Tweety Bird?
Starting point is 00:57:43 Like t-shirts with gangster Tweety Bird. I just associate Tweety? Like t-shirts with like gangster Tweety Bird. I just associated Tweety Bird with like I'd go to the water park when I was a kid and like really fat chicks would have like a Tweety Bird tattoo on their foot. It was kind of a fat chick thing. Yeah. You know what I found out like later in life and it felt weird. Not like I was trying to fuck Tweety Bird but I found out it was a guy. Tweety Bird's a guy.
Starting point is 00:58:04 I didn't know if it was like, I thought it was like a... You just felt, ugh. I didn't know it was a guy or girl, I never even thought of it. I wasn't trying to fuck Tweety Bird. I wasn't perverted when I was a kid, I don't know. Yeah, yeah. What's the number one cartoon you'd fuck?

Starting point is 00:59:20 Yeah it's nasty. What's the most fun city to drink in from your days on the road? I don't know. I'm just like a raging alcoholic, so probably just the van on the highway. Just like in the back seat alone, like thinking about killing yourself. I'd say Tokyo. Yeah, Tokyo's a good place to drink too. It is really good. You can smoke inside.
Starting point is 00:59:38 It's pretty cool. They're like bummed if you smoke outside. Yeah. Well, I did... I was there with our boys. I was in Tokyo. We did... I did scar tissue in karaoke. Karaoke I did, I was there with our boys. I was in Tokyo. We did, I did scar tissue in karaoke. And I asked if they had red hot chili peppers and they were like, they didn't know what it was.

Starting point is 01:00:10 rehab and his voice was falsetto. Yeah, he kills it. Smile from the streets of old. That'd be so funny if you came back from rehab and you were like, hey dude, what's up? Yeah, and I had a low-fi damage. I'm living clean and sober now! And I did the soundtrack for Brown Bunny,
Starting point is 01:00:25 that movie where the dude got a blowjob. I thought that Vince Aguil did all of his own soundtracks. I mean, it was Vince Aguil. No, I think John Frishante had a hand in that. They kind of look a little similar. John Frishante, call in. What did Dave Matthews say? Nothing?
Starting point is 01:00:37 Never got back to me. He's busy jamming. He's in the middle of a half hour jam right now of 41. Dude, he's ripping ants marching right now. We'll close it. Of 41.

Starting point is 01:01:45 lawn chair doing whip its around a fire when I was in high school and did whip its and I just immediately started pissing my pants and I was like it's beer I spilled beer like I had to like get out of it somehow. You got out of it? Then I drove drunk home. Neon neon. What is that song? John Mayer. I was. Da da, ba ba. Wow. So you could do any of his songs?

Starting point is 01:02:24 He's got a great body. He did say that one thing in Playboy magazine. What? How his dick is like David Duke. He's got a white supremacist dick? He was just basically like he was not attracted to black women. Oh, damn.
Starting point is 01:02:37 He could have put that any other way. That's a crazy way to put it. He could have put that any other way. My dick is like Adolf Hitler. What about you? Who would my dick be compared to? Uh, probably, um, who's the... Who's the second guy in Garden State
Starting point is 01:02:57 that's not the dude from Scrubs? Mm. Uh, Maggie Gyllenhaal's husband. Yeah, Maggie Gyllenhaal's husband's dick. Why? Just because in the mid 2000s, they kind of went in this quirky twee thing. It was a serious sort of role player throughout the 90s. It was very dedicated to the craft, learning, off-Broadway, sort of small black box situations.
Starting point is 01:03:27 And then in the mid-2000s, once the shins dropped, it was like, I'm twee now. So I don't know, could you maybe put Nick and I in touch with these guys? Yeah, definitely. I'd like to work on it together. If you could get my music synced in it, then we could all sort of benefit from it equally. Do you want to maybe write a theme song maybe for the Adam Friedland show? Yeah I could write a song for the Adam Friedland show. Do you want to just do it right now?
Starting point is 01:03:49 There's something in the way she moves. Looks my way, calls my name. It's called Something in the Way She Moves. I think that's pretty good. Yeah, definitely influenced by James Taylor and Carole King. Riley Walker, everyone. Thanks for watching. Sorry, I'm not Nick.
