Jam on it.
A jam on it.
A jam, jam, jam, the jam on it.
Look at Lutherus.

Still got it.
75 long and lean.
We got a crash on 93 North heading up to New Hampshire.

We're letting him
We're vamping while he's saying
Goodbye to his friends out there
They're doing a little
practice event for something tomorrow with Howard Stern.
If you don't know, if you live under a rock, Howard Stern has been aggressively fired by
Sirius XM.
That's not true.
Oh, no?
You can't know, Jay.
That is allegedly.
You have to say the word allegedly.
I heard you, I heard they handed him in his walking papers, literally.
They called him in to the office.
Isn't it weird that you said, he's not going to be re-signed, and you want to take a spot,
and then it happened, that news came out?
It is wild.
I said we asked Jim about this.
There he is, everybody.
Yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen, a friend of the show,
a friend in life,
I've known him for 30 years.
30 years.
You know, next to Bobby.
Jay doesn't like anybody sitting next to him, dude.
Don't look him in the eye and don't touch him.
I look him directly in the eye when he's across from me.
But not next to you.
You don't like side eye.
Oh, I don't be touched.
You don't like to be touched or side-eyed.
Bobby's going to touch you, though.
Jim, you will be touched by Bobby.
Yeah, I touch a lot of people.
He's a touch talk.
I'm a touch talker.
Jim Florentine, everybody.
It's going to be at Sidespitters at Tampa, August 15th through the 17th.
Tickets on all the tour days.

How are you standing?
Let's stand, yeah.
Okay, Stan, he's filming.

It's good to see you.
Are you wearing a...
What the fuck are you?
Where do you go to the Netherlands?
Why do you have, what do you have Dutch guy shorts on?
I was over and I answered that.
Why?
Are you painting during the day?
What the fuck?
Do you have a side gig?
What's going on, brother?
What's going on?
Nothing, dude.
Good to see you, man.
Yeah, it's good to see you.
How's the, how's the girl situation?
You got a girlfriend?
No.
Yeah, you're just still clanging and banging.
Not as, you know, that means working out.
My audience is getting older.
Not when you're in your 50s, that's sex.
Clanging and bang.
You're clanking and bang it's your bones.
Yeah, clanging and bang it's your bones and your back.
You were out there seeing.
all the stern people are out there gathering up sad times well but no one even knows what the hell's going
on yeah he's jim does jim breaking news right now tell us what's happening you know well i don't know
but i do we need to think he's my prediction he's going to sign for like two years a two year contract
so that's what they said oh you do yeah that's what they said no that's what i think you just admitted
it you just i've been listening to a show for years and every time there's a contract cup i don't
if I'm going to recite, even though he didn't come out and say it this time.
Well, the fact that they're saying, the rumor is they're going to make him an offer he will refuse.
But I guess he could also not refuse it.
They're going to give him the Jim Norton.
They're going to give him the Jim Norton.
We want to pay you less.
Well, yeah, he might get less, but then he'll negotiate maybe less days.
Is it even possible to the rest days?
Or at this point, what all that money has, he'll probably just say, even if it's a big cut, a 50% cut, why not do it for a couple more years?
I agree with that.
my staff because he's not a staff of 95 people less days how many how many days yeah i couldn't
guess how many last days you could possibly do he takes off uh he goes hey we'll be back after this
season yeah what those yeah yeah now listen by the way he's earned all of it he's worse than yellowstone
he's earned all these he's earned all of these things for sure like there's no debate about that
at all but it's like uh what does he want to do but it's so hard to follow i mean with the amount
of stuff that comes out now especially like audio
like medium just shit podcast coming out like constantly that like if he's going to do a show a week
it's going to fall like completely like through the cracks what you mean a podcast yeah yeah yeah i don't
think he'll do that because i think he wants to still take care of his staff yeah yeah because he knows
they don't make a ton of money get a couple more years out of it hey jim real health insurance we had a real
big viral clip last week with kim with some gossip maybe you can just lie and give us some fake gossip so
we get another viral clip well about boo he told you flat out out there
Howard Stern is not coming back.
And he's been sleeping with men in Florida.
You heard it here first, everybody.
Howard Stern's going to be at sidesputters on the 15th to the 17th.
I don't know.
I don't have any.
I just.
Howard Stern's on the Epstein list.
You heard it here first, folks.
What are you freezing up on that for?
I'm just, you know, a lot of rich guys would take Epstein's plane down to Palm Beach.
All the rich guys leave in New York would go, hey, going to hit your ride down there and they jump on the plane.
It could have been charted.
I've been on planes before that belong.
They tell you who the celebrity is it belongs to,
and that is a thing that that celebrity kills somebody,
you're on the ledger for that plane still.
So that's what I'm saying.
Well, that's what they're saying.
A lot of people.
So if my world, if Dr. Phil rapes a child,
I'm going to be somehow culpable in that.
Even if it's the guy who plays Dr. Phil.
Even if it's the guy who plays if Adam Ray himself.
If Adam Ray, Ray, Ray, as a child as Dr. Phil.
They say that a lot of people,
the reason why they didn't release the list is a lot of people,
were on that plane just for that reason
Leonardo Capri. All of all these
Bruce Willis is on the ledger.
You don't remember. But it's like they didn't go
they were on the plane
but they weren't fucking kids.
Well, yeah, they didn't go to the island.
They went to Palm Beach. Right, they went. So all
the rich guys, Bon Jovi lives down there. Rush Limbaugh
might have been on that plane. Yeah, me and Jay
just bought a place down there. Yeah,
I'm probably going to get down there. Yeah, we got the bonfire
pad. You want to go? Let us know. With the
serious money you guys are making? Oh, hell yeah, dude.
Now that fucking, you told the Stern
Seriously, when the money's going to be rolling in.
I know, I'm going to get a raise on Ozzy's bone yard.
I'm making another $25 out of them.
Ooh.
Yeah.
I think me and Bobby is going to bump up.
I think we're going to take a little bit of that stern cash.
Yeah.
I say we settle in about three mill apiece, easy, by next year.
Three million apiece.
And you know what?
Maybe parking?
And then also parking.
Yeah.
And then also Howard Stern's old studio, completely outfitted with everything it has.
Look, maybe they're thinking about you guys taking this place.
They're not.
It's going to be a slot.
I appreciate that.
You see all seven of these $9,000 cameras?
Yeah.
We have to hire a Filipino to come in and use a...
Handheld.
A DJ fucking go something.
Yeah.
Yeah, but that's going to be an open slot if he does go, so you never know.
Well, we do.
We do.
I do know for a fact that...
Well, here's what I would say.
It would have to take...
At this point, the way people consume this stuff and on-demand and everything, we are some people's...
A lot of people's morning show because they listen to it Tuesday through Friday in the morning.
Because they get to listen to it on demand
The idea now of like having a job where you got to get up
I mean it killed Artie Lang almost the job
Oh the heroin helped
Right
Well he was just in the worst like he never slept
Like it's a life of like
He was going to make a gazillion dollars
And I get it on the road every weekend
And then waking up to be at a job alert
And funny at 6 a.m. It's fucking wild
I wish we had it on camera the way you leapt into that chair
Yeah
That was pretty good right
it was a dramatic motion
for what was unnecessary, but I liked it.
Very stunt guy-ish.
Yeah, you were like Luke Duke.
Luke Duke.
Which one slid across?
Was it Beau always slid across, right?
And Luke just jumped in.
Luke was a driver.
No.
Who was the driver?
Bo.
Bo?
Is he the blonde?
Yeah.
He's the blonde.
Isn't it Bo and Luke Duke?
Yeah.
It's Bo and Luke Duke, but which one was the blonde?
Which one was it?
I don't know which one was Luke.
Well, the dark hair guy.
forget their names now.
The dark-haired one,
Luke went crazy.
Didn't he become like a nutty,
like, not religious,
but like,
did he get political?
Tom Womack?
Tom Womack?
I don't know.
I mean,
me and Jacob would not think he's crazy.
We would think he's actually,
you know,
dealing with common sense reality.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, you know, woke Hollywood people like you
would probably think he went crazy.
Why is because Amy Schumer
has done a lot of nice things
for me in my career?
And I acknowledge that.
That bothers you.
I'm just saying that you don't like Jesus,
Christ, that Lord and Savior, you think he's
bullshit. I'm a Hollywood Jew.
You are.
You know I'm a fucking Hollywood Jew.
I'm as a fan, you have to be
also, even getting that new, hearing that
news that Stern could be done, it seems surreal.
Like, if he does stop, it's fucking.
I mean, here's thinking it's going to happen one day
if it's this contract or not, but I mean it's
He's been doing radio for how long, Jay?
Since like 82?
Yeah, forever. I started listening
when I was 12, is why I know when I started listening to it.
It's crazy. And he's been number
one for how long?
I mean,
30 years?
40 years?
Easy.
Yeah, I mean, 30.
Ladies.
Yeah, he changed radio.
I mean, he did it all.
I mean, if I had that much money
and I had all that stuff
and a wife and all kinds of dogs and cats
or whatever, I'd be done.
I don't know.
I would just stop.
I'd be like, I'm out.
But, you know, it must be hard because
all these guys did it work for him.
Did they save their money?
Did they do the right thing?
Because, you know,
all that kind of money,
though, like, that amount,
I was just talking to somebody about this,
that all that kind of money creates a boredom
that I guess has to be nuts.
When you could just make impulse decisions,
like, I'm bored, so I'm gonna, like,
I'm gonna buy a Lamborghini this week.
And it doesn't even hit your bottom line at all
because it's just that, that's boring.
It must be a very boring life.
I think Howard Stern, if he's not doing this,
I don't know if he knows,
if he wants to just be, you know what I mean?
Just like, he has a life where it's like,
there's nothing to want anymore.
So I said our staff,
whether our shows on the air or not,
are the same.
everything's absolutely fine in their lives.
Nothing changes.
It doesn't get any better or any worse.
I think he wants to go out his own way.
Like he's not just going to just that this is going to be it
and he won't even do a podcast.
I don't think he'll do a podcast.
No.
So I think he would sign another year and do a whole like year celebration.
All celebrities coming in the following last year.
Like Derek Jeter did his last year of baseball.
Like every city goes in, whatever.
So I think that's what he would do.
People are, but that last run hurrah.
again who knows i mean you only hear like the vocal haters of stuff um of things but i mean that's what
literally people are turning on him about is that it's just like a hollywood show now kind of idea
so it's interesting to see like if his last hurrah year he goes you know what let's get jennifer
aniston back in here because that's what everyone's kind of like he said oh that's brought
this sybian back in oh i was i was in studio when jennon jameson was on the sibbyan wow what did you
It was insane.
Yeah, you were there for some hey-day shit.
Oh, insane.
I was there when Gary Bucce, him and Gary Bucce had a fight and they were rolling on the floor.
Didn't Bucie grab him?
Yeah, yeah.
Like, just got too physical.
Yeah.
Well, he headlocked him and drug him on the ground.
Yeah, he like gave Robin a bear hug, and then he went over to Fred, and then he went over to Howard.
He was like grabbing him and wrestle him with him.
Yeah, Howard said in L.
And I just stood there.
It was only like my second day on the air.
He's like, how can me didn't jump in Howard saying?
I'd go, look, I didn't know if this was a joke or fake for the e-cambers.
I wasn't doing shit.
Was that a Jackie chair, like, run?
Yeah, yeah.
When you were over there, having people in it for, like, a week.
That was cool as a fan, too, as people I knew were, like, getting shots to hear Jim on there.
Greg Gass, I think, did a week?
Fitsy.
Did he?
Yeah, Fitsy did, too, yeah.
That was, like, the job, everybody was, I mean, that job would have been, great.
Now, do you think that, I know already got it, but do you think if you got it, you'd probably still, you would still be there.
You wouldn't have fucked that.
I would have, I would have never.
Never fucked it up.
I would have to stay there forever.
Of course.
Oh, yeah, I mean, it is funny, like, for Artie saying that was his dream job, it's like, you really didn't hang on to it at all.
And it wasn't the job that was killing him.
It was, like, obviously, the way he chose to, like, run it like that.
But it is interesting.
People that are just broadcasters do not understand, like, especially me and Bob, I do a zillion hours a week on Broadway.
And then we travel all weekend.
Howard Stern doesn't have to do that.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
It's string to see, like, somebody put that fucking time into it.
The money was just too tempting for Artie out there because I would always do the shows.
with him on the road.
I remember I did that with you.
You know, getting like 80 grand
for a casino for one night.
This is 20 years ago.
Well, I would do that and then I would tour
with Artie too.
And then everybody would give him drugs
whether he was sober or not.
Oh, yeah.
They'd hand them to me to give it to him.
So I would just draw him out.
But even during the show, people would walk up with shots.
Oh, yeah.
His whole set.
By the time he's done with his set, he was fucking trashed.
I went with him to Pittsburgh one time.
And they had a guy with him
this one was like a handle.
sort of it was his old tour
manager or something came to kind of be his handler
and just sort of make sure he stayed
straight and narrow and we drove out to
Pittsburgh and then
talking about a scary thing when I have his car
basically like I'm driving
and his people are all with him and he
just came in clearly somebody
in the audience offered him like drugs
and their chicks I guess were hanging out
and stuff and they were going back to this guy's house
to do drugs and just
the fabricated fight he started
with his handler to just be like
Like, you know, screaming at it in front of the audience and everything,
just outside the comedy club, the Pittsburgh Imprope, just to be like,
fuck you, you don't tell me what to do.
And then just go, like, come on, guys.
And just you already walk off into the night with two couples, just some random trash people.
It was pretty wild.
One time at the Funny Bone in St. Louis, he was on, middle on stage.
He had to do three shows on that.
It was a five o'clock show.
And the waitress comes up to the stage in the middle of his set with ten shots of Yeagermeister on a tray.
And he goes, who's this for?
They go, it's for you.
The audience bought him for it.
He goes, look, I got two more shows.
I can't do that.
And the whole crowd just started booing him,
and he just took 10 in a row and put him right down.
And he was passed out in between the shows.
He could barely get him up for the seven and then the nine.
I used to do that with cupcakes during my shows.
Yeah, but I'll tell you almost killed me.
The recoil on that's not as bad.
Gino Bisconti did that once.
Legion of Skanks, like, jokingly.
Because they brought him like a glass of, like, whiskey.
like a tall glass of it and I think Lewis made some joke about him just doing it and he just did he like chugged it where we were begging him to stop what while he was doing I'm like I think this is going to put you in the hospital like you can't do that that's fucking wild not to be bullied into drinking yourself sick is pretty hilarious by nobody's go boo you're not going to drink you're not going to drink you're not going to do this guy's afraid of the ladymeister you're not going to do this is beyond david tell numbers and he drank you're not going to do any of that heroin you fucking you bussy boo this guy's afraid of the lady h this guy's afraid of read
rehab man
what is this here
christina have up now do you still
just how would ever talk to you do you ever talk to him
has you ever email you a text you or anything um i hear from
through uh email or facebook once in a while
oh he'll hitch up yeah what does he say
he says hey how's it going i listen to show in ossey's bone yard hope everything's good
and all that yeah i'm still in touch with everybody over there
i still do the wrap-up show over there i mean the main show it's all a list celebrity
then i could have a dirt bag like me on it's right now those days are i used to dream again
years man i can't complain yeah if it wasn't for him or who knows where i'd be right now
no so absolutely huge you said you went on a good years too to go on i know his bummer i've said
that that it's like the uh it's just those days are over where you're going to have a reason to
get on now it's like hey i have a new special out it's on you're sure you don't want to have
me on yeah yeah at very best it'll be a thing where you could be a part of like uh we can
introduce him as like a comedian judge for like who's trans cock is this or something which i
would do i would absolutely do no he would plug a
gig 20 million people listen
every show would sell out
you know funny bone
Pittsburgh all five shows
mine would sell out yeah that's how crazy
it was back in that day
dude they would have the whole crew
would go out
do the shittiest comedy shows ever
I know I was part of them
I did them too
we did we did you
stuttering John
and Artie right
in in the was it
Universal Studios
yeah right
is that where we went
yeah that was wild
there were animals
they were fucking animals
and then you guys all left me
and I had to get a ride back to the hotel
from a couple
that was at the show
who I think wanted to fuck around
but I was so panicky
and I didn't even know where we were staying
I like had a figure
I had to like guess
well that was the thing
when Artie wants to leave
you leave you just follow him
so I think that's when you just wanted
to get the hell out of there
so I just followed him and I left you in the dust
yeah you left me I mean hot dust
I mean thank God I
I had to like
Sherlock
Holmes, it was near this thing with this other thing next to this.
And they were like, I think it's this.
And they drove me back.
That's how we had to walk through that whole crowd to get to the venue and all he was freaking out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And Stuttering John, where the fuck.
Have you talked to him?
Do you talk to that guy?
Once in a while.
Yeah.
There's the stuff I watch on YouTube.
There's podcasts, multiple, dedicated to just shitting on Stuttering John.
I've never met him once in my life.
Really?
I've no opinion either way on it, but it is hilarious.
they just have podcast.
It's like they do with Corey Feldman now.
It's just the whole podcast
is just shitting on.
But now he went away.
Whenever he leaves,
they got no material
because they would just watch his podcast
and then talk about his clips.
So then he disappears
for like six months
and they start digging back
from like 20 years ago.
Here's an old clip from 1996.
And he's like, good,
I'm going to starve you guys.
But he does get stuff though.
He'll get hammered and just like...
Dude, his hammered rage?
Yeah.
When he just stopped,
and he just starts.
spitting it's pretty funny
pretty funny doesn't he live with his mom
now he lives down in
Florida with his mom right no no
his mom's in Long Island he's down in like Cape Coral
because I remember when he was
I mean he was working on the tonight show
and he had the wife and the kids in the
car and he was running those shows and
it was almost like I was just coming
up it was like before a orgasm or anything
of that and I got on that show I was like
holy shit I got close
getting close to Stern's universe
was fucking cool
watching yeah but it was thing you're putting it it is wrong what you're doing though you're doing
what people see in you with somebody who is nowhere near like the talent or reason for people
to be excited as you like howard's turn anoint to these people so that would be frustrating
doing those shows is seeing people outside be like move me out move it fatso I want to touch
jd and reaching out and like whoa man they're fucking like celebrity once you did the show though
all those fans were on you know what I mean
they were but you know who'd get the biggest applause
is Beetlejuice yeah he would just go out
there and mumble and then a mic you no one can follow
him we had to put them on last of course
it's hard for me too because I was with Opie and Anthony
and Opie you know
they started that fucking beef
so it was almost like you had it there was a point where you had to
kind of pick a
pick a team you know what I mean
right it was kind of weird
Patrice went over and did the show
but that was it was just weird
and then he got mad he got mad because of him
call him the fat that fat Brazilian who goes to Brazil the fat comedian that goes to Brazil he goes
I'm not going on the show anymore I was like why he goes because I don't want to be the fat
comedian he thinks I'm the fat comedian that went to Brazil he took it very very personal that
hurt his feelings yeah which I got what's funny is I think when Stern like uh when Patrice
passed away when Patrice passed away what I mean that used to be fat bald called bald guy from
Boston when Patrice died uh it came up on the show someone pointed it you know
something in the news or whatever that uh patrice died and he said the thing goes yeah he goes
i think that guy like didn't like like like like like like he didn't like like like
he did like me at the end and then he just kind of redos it again he goes i don't know because
i just like uh i described him i guess as like uh like fat guy the fat comic went to brazil but
it's like he's a big fat guy and he went to brazil like what's the big deal man
which did fucking make me laugh i know i keep hearing this too there's there's rumors that
he's psyched about uh the contract coming to and in i like all the speculation
And in the meantime, he just popped on the air on Saturday.
I'm just like, here's just an interview with me and Lars Alwick.
I'm not going to talk about it at all.
I think it was a pre-recorded interview or something they said.
He's smart.
He's smart. I mean, all this buzz going around?
How great is that?
He loves it.
Two schools of thoughts.
Some people are saying he's not liking this at all.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, he has nothing to really stand to gain from like a, what he's probably not, yeah, but what he's not liking is, it's not free publicity.
What they're saying is all the things are going, he's going to leave because his number,
numbers aren't what they were and they're not going to pay him what they're he doesn't want
that to be the story but I don't I don't know though I think that if he's going to if he if he if he's
doing it for his team to continue to make money he can come in he probably and he loves
broadcasting you know that he loves doing the show he loves he says he hates it but yeah
he loves it he loves it he loves doing radio and if he's going to come back on a small thing
makes some money and he's going to have to divvy that money out to his crew because I'm pretty
sure he takes that money he makes and he has to pay those guys through that right no I think
serious pays now oh really it used to be the original contract he had to take it out of his money yeah okay
but everyone got huge raises when they came over to serious from k rock yeah you know already went from
like like 300 000 like 800 because they had so much more money here what is 500 million
dollar contract right now jacob makes uh 2.1 million a year yeah he puts it all into uh
sweatshirts it's all tesla and sweatshirts yeah Tesla sweatshirt and he bought a turd did he buy a turtle farm
did you have one did you wind up buying that that's right he bought a turtle farm
In Vermont.
Yeah.
He bought the road that the totals cross on.
The total crossing, more so, right?
It would be sad here because of Howard, though.
What's that?
I just want to work where Howard worked.
I thought it was because of Dan and Big J.
But, no, I was here years before, though.
Yeah, he was here way before us.
Really?
Yeah, and DJ Lou, too.
DJ Lou has, he went through the, he had to go through the failure process of Jim Brewer
and Pete Correlli.
Remember that colossal failure?
No, that was actually a hit for a while.
Is it really?
Then why is he here with us now?
Oh, because he, yep.
All right, you're right.
It ran for eight years.
What's that?
We were on the air for eight years.
I've been on the air for 11 years.
Well, you're the winner then.
Does it feel?
I've been off for two and a half years.
I was with Rosie O'Donnell for two years.
You hate her, though.
You said she was abusive.
She was, but if you're good at your job, she gave you a lot of gifts.
You said she made you eat her out when you were bad.
and then called you the F word.
Yeah.
I didn't say that on a year.
Yeah, she did.
She called you an orange-pile face while you ate her out.
Shut up, Bob.
Is there any truth of that?
Is that, did she made you dry a Suzuki truck?
She made you keep that sole patch on your chin because she would fart in it.
Yeah.
That's what she did, right?
Isn't that what happened to?
Did you have to shave her armpits and actually do her toenail?
We're already getting sued.
Let's just open this thing up.
Open it up, dude.
What if she offered you like 50 grand as a bonus and you had a bang her one night?
50 grand.
for 50 grand it's yeah
I'd have to negotiate a little higher
come on liar
you're lying how much
you know can I Jim to what you're saying here
me and Bobby had a conversation outside
that was interesting on something like this
and Rosie O'Donnell is a great example for who to use
he goes how much
would it cost for you to fuck this person
and the real number
when it was this big ugly lady outside
you were pointing out
I was like see here's the problem
the real answer
Looked like Tim Dillon in a sundress.
Absolutely.
He's like the real answer to the question.
Just to give you a little context.
The real answer is 400 bucks.
Yeah, four, four,
nothing crazy.
450, maybe?
450 bucks.
But the thing is, if you're saying that to the world,
your number you've got to give,
you have to go, oh, dude, like, you know,
a million dollars probably I would do that.
When the answer's really $400,
so you might as well just say for free
because you do it for the story.
Yeah, do it for the story.
It's $400, it's $400, it's $0 or,
we're a million dollars there's no in between or anything like yeah you'd i mean i'd
fuck rosy o'd donald for the story that'd be great and i you know if you but if not it's not rosy
o'd don't it's just someone who looks like rosy o'd but if it was rosy o'd i would facetive you
while i'm down eating her out you know i'd be like are you blowing glenbeck is that glenbeck's
microphone no no it's just a white rosy puss she looks so bad her mouth looks like an asshole i know
She's got that, because she's Irish.
I forgot, you forget, she's just a mick.
She got an asshole mouth.
Yeah, she got that dried up potato mouth.
I'm not, I'm not going to fight.
I'm not going to argue this with you all day, but I'll say it again.
Rosie O'Donnell, there's a period of time where her face was all right.
Yeah, it wasn't bad.
Yeah, it was all right.
Cute face.
Cute face enough that I would have gone through.
It's beyond that.
It's past that.
It's when she was like first doing comedy.
Yeah.
Right there.
Rosie O'Donnell.
Huh?
I liked Rosie O'Donnell.
She hate you.
Oh, no, she'd love you.
Oh, she'd love Christine.
Munch down on your fucking chooch.
Yeah, she'd love it.
She'd love you little,
little, fucking, little jumpers you wear all the time with jeans.
She loves that outfit.
Jumpers.
Whatever that thing is, you wear.
Is that leotard with jeans?
It's a tank top.
No, that thing tucks in downtown.
Oh.
Bobby likes a picture that all of your shirts
touch your pussy.
Yeah.
I want all your shirts to have a button down there,
you cooch.
I want a button near your button.
Yeah, she was all right.
She did go through some busted looks, though, too, huh?
She looks like fucking Joe Mackey half her career.
And now she lives in Ireland, right?
Yeah, she lives in Ireland.
And they're taken to her.
She's on TV over there all the time.
I think she's going to become an Irish citizen.
Trump was trying to take her citizenship for talking shit, which is...
I love it.
Just for her, though.
I'm against.
That's fine.
I mean, what this country stands for or whatever.
Let me see that's the funny.
Is that Dave's bit, Dave Smith's joke or whatever?
He said about it.
They tried to corner Trump and he was like, what about you said about women calling women fat?
And he was like, just Rosie O'Donnell.
She's a pig.
Oh, yeah, you called women pigs.
Yeah, you call women.
Just Rosie O'Donnell.
I met her at an airport.
I think it was Westchester Airport.
Yeah.
We were going through security.
Just you get out in the bathroom.
Yeah, we diked out.
And I was like, hey, I'm a guy.
She's like, I don't care.
You look like a woman.
Tell that to your voluptuous body.
Tell that to your voluptuous lesbian tit you have you tub of shit.
That's when I was fatter.
And I was eating a crella.
I was blowing it.
No, I met her.
And she looked at me and I looked at her.
And I, you know, I didn't want to fuck it.
She's like, hey, I'm like, hey.
She's like, yeah, where are you going?
I was like going to Key West or something.
She said hey first?
She said hey.
She said hey.
She knows you?
I don't know who said, it might have been me, but it was hey, hey, hey.
It was, hey, hey.
I think it was her.
It was actually her.
I was nervous.
She knows you?
She might have known me at that point from Louis.
Okay.
A lot of, like, people, stars or famous people, knew me from, because I was one of the only
reoccurring people on Louis, you know?
Yeah, I died on Louis, so I was never going to be recurring.
Dude, there was an episode of Louis that, we filmed this stuff where I had, dude, it got weird.
We filmed a bunch of stuff, too.
having sex with me from behind.
And then he was just going
to my lips.
And then I had a...
Norton was in it.
He had a rabbit head on
and was doing weird shit.
Oh, was it a David Lynch episode?
It was some weird.
It was a dream sequence.
But the dreams...
Wasn't there a David Lynch episode
of Louis or something they made?
Weird, man.
I remember.
But he edited a lot of shit that we did.
Out.
Thank God.
I bet that's what it was.
It was that episode.
No, David Lynch played...
He was like his coach.
to be a late night host?
No, this was a dream sequence.
Right, okay.
Last, one of the last seasons,
Norton was in it.
Norton, we're all in this dream.
And it was some weird,
I don't know, weird,
some weird stuff.
I remember there was one part
where I had a,
I had a horse head on or a pig head.
You sure you're not just wishing this?
Yeah.
Maybe this was just what I,
a fantasy I had.
Is this your dream journal you're reading?
I am on peptides
and I'm sleeping a lot deeper.
I might be,
I might be peptide gay dreaming.
That's funny if that episode never existed
I made it all up
What the fuck are you talking?
There is no season three of Louis
What?
Well, here's the hope
and Howard Stern figure something
They're going to keep his catalog
I hope for at least a while
I think they have it till
For two years at least
Two years after
Two years after but I think they want to negotiate
To keep that more
I think people would stay subscribed
out of the combination of laziness versus just like,
oh, but you could always listen to like the best of Howard,
which is definitely a kill time.
But I feel like if it ends badly between them,
between Sirius and Howard,
he's not going to give them their catalog past that one year after.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He won't.
Now, is there anybody, is there anybody out there in radio?
I mean, do they make radio guys?
Is there anybody out there that is, like,
I could step into that morning spot on Sirius.
How about your Mike Alta?
You love him.
I love Mike Alta, my number one best friend.
Hurtful.
Not to you.
It is true, it's not to her because it definitely wasn't her.
No.
I mean, if you...
I'm your number one best bag friend.
You are my fucking bag slut girl.
Hey.
You're embarrassing me in front of my heavy metal friend.
Buddy, I'm sorry.
I apologize.
Listen to me.
Yes.
You have my number one best friend.
comedy friend okay and radio friend he's my number one best friend universe friend oh god yeah
and he listens radio any listens yeah so I have to make sure I say oh yeah I'm sorry I don't
can let you come over and borrow my jet skis oh and also hits of jet skis he also
Calta doesn't have jet skis also somebody's gonna be on his show this week you know oh yeah
calta on Friday morning yeah I don't know you can't trust Florentine
Florentine will fucking throw her in the bus just for shits and giggles he did play
a retarded puppet for a lot of years I'm bringing a
back too. Now, are you bringing them back
on your own? On my own.
You own it. You're not going to travel
like Chip with a bunch of shit.
How long? Yay!
Dude, I probably could have made two million dollars in one tour
if I did that back in the day.
Here's the tour. With a puppet and do, I just couldn't do it.
I said, what am I going to do after that?
I'll tell you. Like, I can make this money, but how do I go back on a tour?
So I couldn't do it, but I could have easily
done it in one year. You and Chip
should go on the road together. You go
out first, then Chip, and then you guys come out
together.
How's that?
If you just did it, forget even touring on it.
If you just did, if you have the puppet itself and you could do just like an internet
show with the puppet, people would lose their fucking minds over it.
That's what we're trying to do a cast digital.
I'm working on it.
Oh, boy.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
You really fucking took the wind out of this fucking sale.
No, I don't know.
I mean, yeah, but I do the puppy.
I don't do the body brain coffee presents the special ed show.
I don't work the puppet.
See, Norton just does it in his regular character.
I'd have to be under a tent.
No, Norton is the puppet.
The Puerto Rican Rattlesnake Presents
Special Ed.
Yeah, but Lewis is going to do
the puppet for a couple weeks because he can't get somebody
to do it. Hey, I'm Special Ed.
So you're going to do the voice.
Yeah.
You can get somebody to do
the puppet. Get a little dude to do
it or a puppeteer to do
the puppet, and then you do the voice and do
a YouTube show. You know who did it for me?
He was Dylan over a guest. Oh, yeah?
Yeah, because he said it when he was,
when he was a kid, he loved crank anchors
he went, he got a pup. His mom got him a puppet, he was
a puppeteer. So we're filming the shit
there, he's like, I'll do it, and I go good, please,
I don't want to do this shit. And he's amazing
at it. Yeah? Yeah. That's awesome.
Those were all his friends when he was a kid.
Now he has Big Jay.
Now he's got me. Now Big Jay
is his big puppet.
That's hilarious. Dylan's going to be here
after the show. We're live streaming tonight.
You should have special ed on.
Tonight? No, not tonight.
He's tired away. You need to
prepare. So do you have to, now
when you did special ed, you just
called people up as special ed, right?
Are you going to do that, like prank phone calls?
Well, these are incoming.
I do, you know, I'll do an incoming telemarketer.
So it's a little different than the crankangers
was outgoing calls. So do you have all these
telemarketers call you? Yeah. And you fuck
with them. Yeah. Oh, that's great. Did you make
somebody snap yet? Yeah, one guy
wanted to kill me. He was going to say he could
come over. No, some other dude came out. He's going to kill me with a shotgun.
Did you know you were a retarded puppet?
No, that was when I.
I was doing my regular voice.
Oh, you just did this?
I was fucking with him, yeah.
Oh, Jesus, right?
Yeah.
I've had cops come to the house,
kick my door down.
No, stop it.
Why?
Well, I did a call
where I was to pretend
I was giving my girlfriend a home abortion.
Nice.
I had a vacuum going on
and she was screaming.
And the lady believed it.
She had my number.
She hung up.
She had my address right in front of us.
It's my credit card company.
Oh, dude.
So they called the cops.
You should have got a bloody steak
and stuck it in the end of a vacuum.
I had no idea.
Like, me, I went out
to go a coffee or whatever.
I came.
home my door was busting and a little neighbors were out there
to go to cops are here, EMS, ambulance
because they thought some one was bleeding
upstairs so they kicked my door
in the check out of it.
That's fucked up, man.
Are all the classic stuff still up on YouTube?
I used to watch those all the time.
Telemarking terror or terrorizing telemarketers
stuff with you and Don
those were so great. Yeah, we just did it out
about a year ago. Yeah?
Yeah, we're going to do another one. It's fucking difficult
to do now with like everything. Well, I got a whole
I got my home phone, so I got to connect it to, so the phone just rings constantly.
Oh, you have a phone phone?
Yeah, I got a phone phone phone, so, and I got a recorder hooked up to the phone.
Right.
So I remember I didn't do them for like five years, and I took the home phone out.
I didn't need it.
And I plugged it in, and as soon as I plugged in, it was the same window company
called me from five years ago.
Same guy?
I don't know if it was the same guy, but it was the same companies.
Hello, is Jim there?
Well, it's funny.
It's funny, you have a recorder.
Do you have to push playing record at the same time?
I don't even have to, which is like a little thing.
It just automatically records as when I pick it up.
Yeah.
That's a smart.
Christine got some antique-looking rotary telephone that she plugged in at our apartment,
the last apartment we were in here, and I never even thought about it because we're not,
I couldn't tell you what the number is or anything, but she had it plugged in.
And the terror, the horror movie like terror I would feel whenever it rang, it just seemed like,
it was like, who could be calling on that?
It's got to be a ghost.
Oh, and also, I think it was a broken antique phone.
So the 50 times that happened in the couple of years we lived there,
10 of them or so I picked it up, and you just go, hello?
But no one hears you, no one's saying anything.
So I think it's a broken phone.
So it would just ring, and so I'd answer it, and it was like fucking with me.
It was actually just a ghost in the phone from the haunted house.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It also wasn't a ring.
It was like a...
Boo.
I remember it was just like a...
buzzing sound almost
I don't know
that was uncomfortable
shit
it worked when I first got it
and then I dropped it
and never worked again
it's like that's like
in the hotel room
when somebody calls you
from the hotel room phone
that ring
is so shocking
I know
I mean I like to
I like to do that
to like if I'm on the road
with the comic
I'll call from downstairs
the front just because I know
ring
and they're just going
they always answer
hello
hey what's up man
what the fuck
I didn't even though
it was a phone in here
that's the first thing
I do is unplugged that phone
when I got in the hotel
it's so loud to hear
regular
A house phone is shockingly loud.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because mine is, my ringtone is...
Otto and George got kicked out of a hotel for making prank calls.
He was calling people in the hotel different rooms and fucking with them.
I love that you...
Trying to talk dirty.
And they booted him out.
Yeah, they booed him out.
He still talks about it like one wasn't a puppet.
Well, George was there.
He was always there, George.
Who has George?
David Copperfield.
That's true.
No, not the last one.
He didn't get the last one?
No, he's got the one before that.
Oh, okay, yeah.
He bought, he bought it.
David Copperfield?
Yeah.
David Copperfield took his old George and said, I'll build you a brand new one.
Look, just give me the old George I could put in my museum.
Really?
Yeah.
So it costs like $10,000 or whatever, a new one.
And you got, because the old George is all fucked up.
Yeah.
Nott used to keep him in like the, in a locker in, you know, a Penn Station or the Port Authority
and then go score drugs and should he be in there for like three days in a duffel bag.
Hell yeah.
It would be funny if a spy got the wrong locker.
And instead of getting the codes to the nukes, you got George.
I'll tell you what I'm, now that I'm out in Jersey too,
I keep seeing when you drive by like firehouse and stuff,
it'll be like whatever comedy night, like you really want to peek in and be like,
what's going on here?
What's the local scene like?
Who are they loving on?
Is it still Chips Cooney?
Is Chips Cooney still there?
Oh, Bob Nelson?
Those things were great to do in the beginning.
Those fireworks, those crafts were great.
FFWs, elk lodges
Right, because no one comes out in that town
Except for that show
So it's all these local people
You didn't even know lived in the town
Like dollar beers and shit
Yeah
Everyone, oh yeah
Those things were game savers for sure
Without a doubt
I've done all kinds of
In the beginning
But to go see what the scene is now
It'd be very interesting
To see who's turning out for the
There's always going to be a local
Magician comedian
That's the funny one
Gemini?
Remember Gemini?
No
Still doing shows.
You don't remember Gemini?
No.
He did a, during the pandemic, he did a children's show.
I thought I told you about this.
It's fascinating.
He did a children's show, this comic from Jersey, and I worked with him in Boston at a holiday
in.
When I first started comedy, I had an emcee for him.
And I think he killed his rabbits because I think one of the, one of the waitresses
knocked over the light of fluid into the cage and it kind of suffocated the rabbit
with some shit. Oh, Jesus.
But I remember he came on. I didn't understand.
I was, you know, I'm working with Sweeney and Gavin and Tony V.
And, you know, me, Patrice, Bird, Dane. And then all of a sudden, I'm working with this guy,
Gemini. And he came out, he had a half mask face on. And he did around 10 minutes of dance
at the beginning of just magic hands and all kinds. And then a dove just shot out of it.
I was like, what the fuck? Where am I? And it was probably 15 people in a side room at a holiday
And I was just like, this is wild.
Yeah, because if you were MC and you'd have to go light his candles.
You'd introduce the magic of Gemini and then you go run over, light the candles, and then walk
off stage, and then he'd make his grand entrance.
Yeah, man, he made an entrance.
I will tell you, starting off in the black comedy club, when a white magician comedian
would get on stage, he would always not be doing well with his jokes.
But then the audience gave him the respect of a demon, of an actual live demon that they
were there and just wanted to get through it with him.
Get him, we'll get him out of their lives.
When he started pulling out, he goes, is this your card?
No one was ever like, ah, it was always like, hell no!
And they'd run it, like, no one enjoyed it.
No one enjoyed that magic at all.
You know, it's funny, I went to a,
hell, whenever I'm out in Sacramento.
This motherfucker's Satan.
Whenever I'm out in Sacramento, there's a couple,
the guy, the husband's a photographer,
he does pictures for me whenever I'm out there.
And him and his wife are,
he's a really good magician and she's like the magician's assistant on the stuff they do like
big ticket like magic stuff and it's really a it's a strange fucking world the world of magic
yeah like the yeah the you know Danny Braff was magician he has a collection of thumbs what
he has a collection of famous thumbs from like pen and teller and uh all you know the false thumb
yeah it's the it's the false thumb that you do all the tricks with he has like 50
of them signed by all the famous magicians well this guy when you go to his house at one point
he goes i got to grab something from the garage real quick and i was falling outside i was smoking
and he opens his garage and it's like a magician's garage all it was missing was like people
in torture things it was like all these devices and then i mean cages full of doves just doves there was another
one of him and a thing of water just looking down at you it was sentient it waved at me
I sent you.
What a word.
It was aware.
Yeah.
I love magic.
I don't give a shit.
I love any type of magic.
What's killing magic?
I've had a long conversation about this.
Television.
Having it on television, because even the people that are the best, you can just watch,
like frame by frame and see what they're doing.
I saw him one of my favorite magicians recently.
Shin Lim, he's the Asian guy who won America's Got Talent.
I saw his, the movie, I saw, like, because they just have so much cameras going on them.
saw him like get the card like retrieve a card to change something you're like fuck yeah don't do
that yeah i want to believe he's sorcer you ever see copperfield show in Vegas no yeah it's good
i've seen chris angels and it was horrible was it it was so bad why was it like uh because it's all
it's it's all showbiz magic everything it's like look at this crazy it's more all about the prop
as like a giant machine with this spinning saw that's gonna come down and definitely never hurt him
in any particular way.
Jacob's leaving because you're talking about magic
and he believes in Jesus Christ.
Jacob, I'm telling you, Jesus is real,
but Chris Angel isn't.
Yeah, man.
Where are you going, Jacob?
You're going to poop?
No.
You got to poopies?
Are you going to masturbate?
You get tinkles?
Where are you going outside?
Are you going to masturbate until you poop?
You want to buy more Tesla stock?
What's going on with him?
Follow him with a camera?
Yeah, follow him, please, wherever he's going
and report back to us.
Well, yeah, I love magic, dude.
I love it.
And Chris Angel, I heard, you know he has a restaurant.
he has a fucking restaurant
and it's
and it's all
it's all uh
yeah it's all magic
you know the whole menu's
magic shit oh yeah
Harry Houdini pokey
I don't know yeah
you're gonna bring it up
I always hate that when you go to a comedy club
and they have all the comics except for you drink
I'm oh yeah I know
I'm proud of
Hulk Hogan
I do believe we've looked it up several times
now right his restaurant isn't like
you know
the giant, the big boot burger
or any kind of that bullshit.
Right.
The Irish whipped into the rope potatoes.
The figure four French fries?
The figure four French fries.
They're all mixed up and tangled.
Figure four, yeah.
So, mostly the place is happening,
like they do Monday, karaoke.
He used to always be there on Monday.
All wrestlers come down.
It's in clear water.
I think his son has to be there
because his ankle monitor says
he can't leave the area.
That kid was just constantly arrested.
And he has to see an old broken-down Hulk Hogan, like, show up.
I just watched a body cam the other day of him showing up Hulk Hogan
and going to his son who just did it again,
like driving super fast and hitting something.
And then he's got to go like, you're all right, son.
He goes, they're saying they've got to take you down and process you,
but you're doing all right, brother.
Fuck, man.
It's just like your son's such a fuck-up.
Stop fucking up.
That kid is a fuck-up.
He's a fuck-up, and the wife fell off.
Well, when she starts banging his friend,
You know, she was like 51, you know, son's friend, and he was like 19 to kid.
It is, but it might fuck up the kids at some point.
You might fuck up the kid, but have you seen her face?
She got black things on her face?
Like, it looks like burn marks.
Brooke Hogan is doing fine.
She's doing great.
Swimming in black dick.
As soon as, like, what do you think she cried right in?
What first of black dick she cried into after a holkster died?
50 cent.
No, she's married to a hockey player.
Is she really?
Brooke, yeah.
No shit.
I think they got a couple of kids, yeah.
How do you know that?
I know my shit.
You do know your shit.
We were talking about that before you came in, how you know your shit.
Oh, really?
Steven Oleski, Alexi?
Wow, I didn't see that coming at all.
Well, you know, A, everybody out there who's mad about Hulk Hogan, just know, before he died,
he got to see that his daughter married a white fella and not a black guy the way.
He seemed very concerned about it.
Right, so maybe he's like, I can die now.
Yeah, he'd have.
She got some white dick
The day after she got married
Ozzy did the same thing
We didn't even talk
You met Ozzy, right?
Yeah
How was it?
Oh, you actually got to meet him on that?
Yeah, me and Jim got to meet him after the show
Is that your first time meeting him ever?
No, I met him probably 15 times
But just to see him one more time
Yeah
It's crazy
Like when we saw him, I was
Me and Jim go
We're saying goodbye
We're not going to see him again
I mean, yeah, at this point
He was in a wheelchair
You know Parkinson's
So the concert
How, like, where were you sitting?
I was like the fourth row in the front.
Really?
Well, we had backstage passes, me and Jim,
because we were doing interviews for Ozzy's Boneyard.
Okay.
So we're going back and forth, interviewing bands,
and going back out in the crowd.
So we could just come from the side and go right into the pit.
I didn't even think that you were sent there by Ozzy Barrio.
We weren't set there.
We tried to, but they didn't want to do it.
I said, I'm going anyway.
But then they still get content and stuff.
But then they were there, and I was like,
oh, let's do it.
You know, so, no, me and Jim said we're going, no matter what.
Did you get your tickets from Austin?
The family?
We got it through family, yeah.
So, okay, so you're backstage and everything was from that.
That wasn't from them, though.
That was from Sirius, because Ozzy's Boneyard, they were there.
Okay.
So they hooked us up.
That's awesome.
And then Jim knows Sharon's assistant, Sharon Osborne's assistant.
So we got backstage passes who we were there tonight before watching all rehearsals.
Really?
Which is great.
Not Sabbath or Metallica, but we saw a bunch of the supergroups and all that stuff.
Now Jay thinks it wasn't that good, but I think that Youngbloods
version of change it was great it was great
it was great wasn't it it was phenomenal
I'm not enjoying this kid young blood
I thought he was great I thought he stepped up
and fucking knocked it out of the park
nobody knew who he was the old metal heads there
even though he's huge over in England not so much here
he's a rapper but he's friends with the Osbournes
I think he lives next door to him yeah and he went
I saw him in rehearsal do it I was like I thought he was an actor
look at him like he looks like a fucking
he looks like somebody
who would play a rock guy.
Right, so, and he sang it, I didn't know who the fuck he was,
and they said, notice he's got a young blood.
Yeah, it was amazing.
Yeah, it was great.
And he actually sang, you know, like instead of the backing vocals
or all that shit, the backing tracks.
Yeah, and Bentonkort was out there with him too, right?
Yeah, Nuno and Frankie Bello from Anthrax.
Yeah.
I mean, and the place went nuts.
Nuts.
Because there was a moment where they're like, who the fuck is this guy?
You know what I love about, you know I love about Frankie Bello from anthrax?
that guy's a fan of music
that guy is side stage
at almost 100% of
shows I go to
he's just there
he was at Marilyn Manson and Walmart
he's at uh
what do we just go to
he was a Pantare
they came out and did walk with them
it's like pretty like
he's a great guy too
yeah very nice guy so when you met
Ozzy was it after or before
after the show
so you met him after there was a VIP thing
and they said Ozzy's going to come out
and we're like me and Jim like this
no way he's coming out after he just did two sets
I go yeah I would go
well might as well just hang out we gotta know where to go
anyway and then all of a sudden he got wheeled in
with Sharon and the rest of the family
no shit so all everyone was starting
to crowd around them and then we got in there
real quick he's like jam jam jam
you guys are nuts for going in there
going to see the album cover I never knew that barn
was still there you guys were fucking crazy
and then and then everyone else jumped
on him and then it was over then all of a sudden
Sharon Sid from Slipknot
you know asked
Yeah, the matter, so it just happened that quick.
But we got to say, you know, quick saw them and everything.
Did you do that?
You guys went to the Sabbath album cover place?
Yeah.
And it's still there?
It was still there from 1970.
And we snuck in, too.
No shit.
Yeah, there was a gate opening.
We ran in there.
We took pictures and shit.
And Ozzy put it on his Instagram, Ozzy and Sharon, so all the guys saw it.
Right.
Like all the rock guys saw it and shit.
Did you hop the fence and Jim kind of went through it?
No, there was a gate that opened up the door.
Did Jim burrow under?
Yeah.
Did Jim use one of his family wormholes to get under the fence?
It was spiked the fence, so I think he would have, he might have sat on top for a while.
Get a little taste of the good stuff.
Now, how annoying, I love Jim, but when you go somewhere with famous people, the photos.
Did you have to take a shit?
Yeah.
Take a photo.
Take a photo.
We're just lurking, us too, just lurking.
Are you like Jim?
Because I'm a little more shy.
When we used to go to UFC, I would have to sit there.
take photo after photo
and he would look who's that I'm like that's
John Jones you look I want to get a photo
I'm terrible are you good at that I have
so little
photographic evidence of
anyone I've ever like met
famous or cool I never think to ask
for the picture no I love it I always
ask for the picture yeah I do it you like Jim
even when I met Ozzy back in the early 80s
when he was first coming out with Blizzard of Oz
he'd go do these record store signings I got pictures
with him oh yeah
So this is you in front of the Black Sabbath Barn, is it?
Yeah, that's the original album cover from 1970.
It still looks like 95% the same.
Wow.
I think they put the picture up of the cover.
Yeah, they did.
It was at the beginning of the movie.
Yeah.
Wow, that's pretty cool.
Norton, wife didn't come?
No.
She was at home going through changes.
Come on, Bobby.
Damn good.
Thank you.
You met Randy Rhodes when you left to sign you.
She's going through.
Changes
What's that?
You met Randy Rhodes
when you went to the signing.
Yeah, I met him a couple times.
You met Randy Rose?
Wow.
That's Ozzy's house
that he grew up in his childhood home.
That's cool.
How do you get this information?
Is this like pretty public information?
Yeah, we looked it up, yeah.
Florentine looks exactly the same.
I took that picture, Randy Rhodes, Rudy Sarzo, Tommy Allridge,
1981.
A lot of awesome picture.
That is great.
That's after, that's after I offer,
I told Ozzy here, take my watch.
I had a shitty old Cassio watch
that was rusted out. I bought it out of a flea market.
I go, I'm a big fan. I want to give you my watch.
He goes, no, man, that's okay.
I go, no, seriously, I'm a big fan. He goes, no, I don't want your watch.
I go, please, I came from New Jersey.
Please take my watch. I don't want your watch.
I don't want your watch.
And then all of a sudden, security goes, all right, come on, move it, move it.
I kept snapping pictures, and that's him looking at me.
Like, who the motherfucker?
I don't want his fucking watch.
You're a good-looking guy, Ozzy was born.
So I got Randy Rhodes and Ozzy
and then the signatures that day too.
That's so cool.
Where's Ozzy though? I don't see Ozzy.
He wasn't in that picture. He's just in the one right there.
That's Ozzy in the white, yeah.
Wow.
And it's just a Blizzard of Oz tape signing?
Yeah, well, yeah.
What a great album cover, right?
Phenomenal.
Yeah.
That's the concert I went.
I saw him in Boston two weeks after Randy Rhodes died.
He did a concert in Boston.
Oh, yeah.
He had the castle and used to know the codpiece.
Yeah, that was a dire manman tour.
Dyer of the Madmanman.
Yeah, it was fucking crazy.
I always thought this was a weird thing.
I went to go see, it was at Craig Gass bringing us backstage to something.
It was the Mary Mayhem tour, I think they called it, and it was Rob Zombie.
I saw you there, and Ozzy at the Meadowlands.
Yeah, and the band Soil, the Azoad Center, or whatever was called.
And this band Soil, soil, we were talking to backstage, said that their bus did not,
they hope Ozzy doesn't find out that their bus is the refurbished,
Andy Rhodes
like bus
and they're like
why
why would that
still be in like
the rotation
of buses at all
why would that
still is like
that must be
been told that
to them
and they're just
believing it
that couldn't
have been
possibly been true
well maybe
it was the last
bus that he was in
I don't
well they said
it was the bus
it's a refurbished
bus
that got hit by the plane
shit maybe
like from the thing
but that's
that was what
80
the odds of that
yeah
that's what I mean
it's like
refurbished
it's powerful
didn't
I mean
I mean, there's, what's his name?
Didn't Bottom, same way?
John Bonham, die from a plane crash, too?
No.
How did he drinkin.
Oh, really?
Yeah, drank himself to death.
Oh, okay.
You're thinking of Leonard Skinnered?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All of them except Artemis Bile, who then got shot by person.
No, that's not true.
Really?
I always thought that story was, too.
Oh, it's bullshit?
No, because he, you know, he went up to the house.
The guy came out with a gun and thought he was coming to rob it.
And he's like, no, no, no, we just got in a plane crash.
He almost got shot after he got in a plane crash
and walked with like a broken shoulder
and a huge gas.
He walked like two miles to a house.
Didn't he tell it on Howard by getting shot, though?
It's always the rumor, but I looked it up,
and they said it's not true.
I thought if he was more John Denver.
No, the guy came out.
He thought he was ready to shoot him.
I thought when he, I believe he didn't get shot,
because it's such a crazy story,
but I think when he told it on Stern,
he told it as he did get shot.
But then he also owed Artie Lang a bunch of money,
so that was a big thing he's got he's got he's the guy from lenders skin on his
pile oh is already like five grand he let him borrow five grand he was on it was on the
show's the only reason i know it so randy roads was in a plane and it smashed into the bus
yeah yeah and rudy sarzo says that it was because the um the bus driver was high on coke
and his ex-wife came to visit him and they were going through a divorce and she was just
hanging out right by the outside of the bus and he was just going up you know buzzing the bus like
going real close and he thinks he did it on purpose
really yeah the the bus driver he had a lot he had a pilot's license but he drove all night he was
high on coke and his ex-wife was standing right there he thinks he crashed it on purpose where
he get a plane it they parked on a runway like a little private airport dude coke man if you got
coke you can get whatever you want dude you get a spaceship dude it was a private airport outside
of Orlando they got there in the morning and he had a pilot's license the bus was broken too
they were waiting there piloted by the tour bus driver clipped the band's tour bus during our low flying
Crash into a nearby house
Yeah, flipped over and went into a house
And a makeup artist who gets no love
She doesn't get, they don't ring bells for her
At makeup artists conventions or nothing
They don't have a makeup artist
What if it's like, what if the makeup artist is like someone
You know, it's like Mary Kay or Estee Lauder
It's like names of things we didn't know
But there's a famous story that Richie Blackmore
From Rainbow when he was in Rainbow
He had this tour bus driver he had for years
And the guy went on vacation
And this guy filled in
like a week before
and Richard got on the bus
and he saw the guy
and he goes
you're the fucking devil
he goes no I'm not getting
on this bus with this guy
I want a different guy
he brought the guy back from vacation
and it was the same bus driver
a week later
that killed the Randy Rhodes
yeah he had a feeling
he had a feeling
final destination
Jesus Christ
he saw it coming
that's weird
yeah it's so weird
it is a straight
when I was on the bus
with Mayhem Fest
we had a
there was a guy
the guy was driving the bus
older black dude
chubby guy very friendly
his name was richard and
a guy who was doing pyro
for one of the bands
five fingers something was on our bus
and they just didn't get along
you know what I mean he was just a complainer guy
I'm talking about the crew guy was the shitty guy
at least in personality he was always like
where is this guy do where is he going
we got to be there this time you know wheels up at whatever
he was just a shitty
about everything with this guy and the guy was had it
enough and then on the tour at one point i guess while we were all asleep which i don't think you're
supposed to meet up with his son like uh at one of the truck stops and then his son he was following
his son to drive somewhere we were gonna get to the venue on time still i don't do with that
but at one point we were stopped for a while and the bus was running and everyone starts waking
up going like where are we uh the sun was like flipped over jaws of life pull him out of the car
accident the sun right in front of the tour bus so the guy was out there the uh the driver was out
there watching and the pyro guy goes off the bus at one point he's like hey man i'm sorry you're going
through here but like you gotta like we have to get there instead to show up so it's like we got to
call in like whoever to pick us up or someone else has to drive us or something we can't you know we
have a job to do and whatever and like i hear them but come on man you know what i mean it's a weird
time to approach that and then at the very end of the tour the guy's son was ended up being okay
ultimately but at the end of the tour the very last day he went up and just put the bus drivers
went up and punched the guy who's square in the field like knocked him down the ground hard
with a punch and that guy tried to get him fired and uh john reese do you know that is yeah
the guy who he used to manage guns and roses and then he owned mayhem fest big dude like a white
shug knight uh just told the guy to shut the fuck up the pyro guy's like eat it just eat it dude
you were a cunt bus drivers are crazy
I mean they're their job's nuts
dude when we're on Torgasm our bus driver
I used to sit with him like no one else really
talked to him because he was so fucking crazy
but I remember I would just wake up because I smoked
and he would let me smoke up in the front
and I would sit with him at like 2.30 in the morning
and just hang out all night with that dude
I remember one night he's like I had my computer
he's like man you got the internet on them like yeah he goes
look up
he goes look up nice
pussed bad foot
and I was like what
and I looked it up
and it was so bad
it was a chick
who had a leg blown off
and it was just like
meat was hanging off
like curtains
but you could see her pussy
underneath the like
the medical gown
right
it was just a really nice pussy
and it was just this terrible
terrible foot wound
