Starting point is 00:01:41 I heard you, I heard they handed him in his walking papers, literally. They called him in to the office.

Starting point is 00:03:11 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.
Starting point is 00:03:22 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
Starting point is 00:03:55 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?
Starting point is 00:04:17 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
Starting point is 00:04:54 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.
Starting point is 00:05:28 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?
Starting point is 00:05:42 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.
Starting point is 00:06:04 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,
Starting point is 00:06:20 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.
Starting point is 00:06:36 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
Starting point is 00:06:52 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.
Starting point is 00:07:04 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.
Starting point is 00:07:20 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.
Starting point is 00:07:31 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...
Starting point is 00:07:47 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
Starting point is 00:08:08 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
Starting point is 00:08:24 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.
Starting point is 00:08:39 No. Who was the driver? Bo. Bo? Is he the blonde? Yeah. He's the blonde. Isn't it Bo and Luke Duke?
Starting point is 00:08:46 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.
Starting point is 00:08:58 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,
Starting point is 00:09:05 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
Starting point is 00:09:17 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.
Starting point is 00:09:28 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?
Starting point is 00:09:44 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?
Starting point is 00:09:56 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
Starting point is 00:10:08 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?
Starting point is 00:10:19 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,
Starting point is 00:10:34 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,
Starting point is 00:10:47 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.
Starting point is 00:11:01 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.
Starting point is 00:11:18 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.
Starting point is 00:11:51 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.
Starting point is 00:12:04 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.
Starting point is 00:12:19 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.
Starting point is 00:12:33 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.
Starting point is 00:12:52 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.
Starting point is 00:13:09 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
Starting point is 00:13:25 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.
Starting point is 00:13:36 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
Starting point is 00:13:52 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
Starting point is 00:14:08 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.
Starting point is 00:14:26 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.
Starting point is 00:14:46 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.
Starting point is 00:15:03 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
Starting point is 00:15:48 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
Starting point is 00:16:10 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
Starting point is 00:16:44 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
Starting point is 00:16:55 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
Starting point is 00:17:08 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
Starting point is 00:17:20 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
Starting point is 00:17:32 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
Starting point is 00:17:44 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?
Starting point is 00:17:59 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.
Starting point is 00:18:16 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.
Starting point is 00:18:27 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.
Starting point is 00:18:38 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
Starting point is 00:18:50 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
Starting point is 00:19:06 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
Starting point is 00:19:36 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
Starting point is 00:19:57 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
Starting point is 00:20:12 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
Starting point is 00:20:48 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.
Starting point is 00:21:21 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?
Starting point is 00:21:31 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
Starting point is 00:22:03 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
Starting point is 00:22:41 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.
Starting point is 00:22:55 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:23:39 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?

Starting point is 00:24:36 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.
Starting point is 00:24:47 450, 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

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

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.

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.
Starting point is 00:27:30 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.

Starting point is 00:28:04 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?
Starting point is 00:28:21 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.
Starting point is 00:28:40 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?
Starting point is 00:28:51 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...
Starting point is 00:29:00 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,
Starting point is 00:29:14 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,
Starting point is 00:29:23 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
Starting point is 00:29:38 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
Starting point is 00:29:52 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.
Starting point is 00:30:10 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,
Starting point is 00:30:29 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.
Starting point is 00:30:46 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.
Starting point is 00:30:58 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
Starting point is 00:31:26 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.
Starting point is 00:31:43 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.
Starting point is 00:31:58 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.
Starting point is 00:32:11 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.
Starting point is 00:32:29 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
Starting point is 00:32:45 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
Starting point is 00:33:00 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.
Starting point is 00:33:16 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?
Starting point is 00:33:32 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
Starting point is 00:33:48 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?
Starting point is 00:34:00 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.
Starting point is 00:34:08 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.
Starting point is 00:34:17 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.
Starting point is 00:34:26 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.
Starting point is 00:34:44 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?
Starting point is 00:35:02 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.
Starting point is 00:35:19 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.
Starting point is 00:35:31 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,
Starting point is 00:36:03 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...
Starting point is 00:36:22 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
Starting point is 00:36:30 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
Starting point is 00:36:38 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
Starting point is 00:36:46 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
Starting point is 00:36:53 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.
Starting point is 00:37:05 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.
Starting point is 00:37:19 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.
Starting point is 00:37:30 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.
Starting point is 00:37:44 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,
Starting point is 00:38:08 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.
Starting point is 00:38:22 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
Starting point is 00:38:34 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
Starting point is 00:38:46 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?
Starting point is 00:38:55 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
Starting point is 00:39:18 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
Starting point is 00:39:52 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
Starting point is 00:40:20 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.
Starting point is 00:40:40 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
Starting point is 00:41:10 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.
Starting point is 00:41:51 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.
Starting point is 00:42:03 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

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.
Starting point is 00:42:55 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?
Starting point is 00:43:02 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.

Starting point is 00:44:11 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.
Starting point is 00:44:31 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.
Starting point is 00:44:46 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.

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

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.
Starting point is 00:46:38 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.
Starting point is 00:46:52 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?
Starting point is 00:47:06 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
Starting point is 00:47:28 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.
Starting point is 00:47:48 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.
Starting point is 00:48:06 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
Starting point is 00:48:21 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
Starting point is 00:48:32 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
Starting point is 00:48:48 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
Starting point is 00:49:03 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.
Starting point is 00:49:20 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.
Starting point is 00:49:30 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?
Starting point is 00:49:43 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.
Starting point is 00:50:04 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
Starting point is 00:50:19 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
Starting point is 00:50:37 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.
Starting point is 00:50:55 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.
Starting point is 00:51:07 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.
Starting point is 00:51:18 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?
Starting point is 00:51:29 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.
Starting point is 00:51:45 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.
Starting point is 00:52:00 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.
Starting point is 00:52:18 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.
Starting point is 00:52:32 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.
Starting point is 00:52:43 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,
Starting point is 00:53:13 Andy Rhodes like bus and they're like why why would that still be in like the rotation of buses at all
Starting point is 00:53:20 why would that still is like that must be been told that to them and they're just believing it that couldn't
Starting point is 00:53:24 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
Starting point is 00:53:30 it's a refurbished bus that got hit by the plane shit maybe like from the thing but that's that was what 80
Starting point is 00:53:36 the odds of that yeah that's what I mean it's like refurbished it's powerful didn't I mean
Starting point is 00:53:43 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.
Starting point is 00:53:54 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.
Starting point is 00:54:07 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,
Starting point is 00:54:23 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.
Starting point is 00:54:39 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
Starting point is 00:55:11 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

Starting point is 00:56:34 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
Starting point is 00:56:46 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
Starting point is 00:57:04 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
Starting point is 00:57:38 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
