That's the scales of Joseph Slumberback. When I move my back, it goes as if it was in his apple. I've got a couple dictators.

Yeah, absolutely. I gotta say Bill Cosby getting a jail, score one for whites. Am I right?
Starting point is 00:02:14 Am I right? But it's a little of the heat off. You know what I mean? What about Bill Cosby got out? Oh no, didn't I break that? Yeah, man, him getting out of that should just be a Amex card commercial. Whether like you got enough money, you can fucking, you can get out of everything. Take it with the everywhere. Oh, especially don't wink up without it. I'm a shot my fault. Let me shut my phone. They're now waking up to build Cosby is a nightmare with that fucking the way his face just stopped working If you open your eyes and see his eyes are already open You might think he died with his eyes open because he's got those kind of eyes He's got when they found Chris Tucker dead and dead president size
Starting point is 00:03:04 Yeah, drugs you and the question is which one one of you is actually going to not wake up here? Yeah, we went together. You show up at the pearly gates the same time as him. Yeah, nothing happens. Sweetheart, I couldn't figure out my pants buckles. Oh, zips and the zaps of the boobs and the straps. Well, can we forget that it was an attempted rape and more look at it as a mutual map? Hello, sweetheart, don't worry, nothing happened. I couldn't get it up because of the thing in my old and the chemistry and my body in the soup.
Starting point is 00:03:35 This is all this wasted opportunity. They can't always, you don't, you don't swing it every pitch. That's what I've learned throughout all my years. You still get the part and you got yourself a couple of rem cycles. Not a bad couch. Does he not hurt at all? Lower back. It's a good couch.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Yeah, man, I don't know. It's kind of crazy to think of, now the Cosby story went away. It was just like, oh, he's going to be in jail, probably till he dies. Well, he was no, he was sentenced to three to ten years and he did three years. So, you know, this was his, this was the minimum on his sentence. He's absolutely got to use that never teachable moment that he has in real life because the three years I've been a little maximum security prison. Do we, do we ever ask you Greg about your time working for Ellen?
Starting point is 00:04:28 You might not be able to say anything at all. But the world record that the Ellen question didn't come up in. It was well. No, I was just, I only brought it up because our friend of ours worked there. I said the same time as you were working there also and she was just she only has like a personal stories, but she's always like it was pretty rough. Who's that? Michelle went. Oh yeah, yeah, it was you know it's weird is when it started I was.
Starting point is 00:05:03 I was excited because I was the him it was a good comic. She really wasn't strong. Stay in a comic. So when I heard she had a show, I was like, yes, try to get me on that. So then they brought me in. And she was so grateful to have another shot that she was actually really humble and nice.
Starting point is 00:05:20 And it was like teamwork. And then as soon as we started winning Emmys, it was like everything changed. Really? Was it a gradual or an instant? Was it like the second Emmy knocked everything weird? It was, well, first of all, I should say, I'm in a non-disclosure agreement, so I literally,
Starting point is 00:05:40 I talked on Stern about her one time, and I got a call about it later that day from my Don't worry down down on this channel. They won't find you. They won't care. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking Once you want Emmys everything changed her head trail careers got bigger Oh my god, I knew success makes you gay Actually, I think it kind of does like you look at like David Bowie and Mick Jagger was Yes, they got famous first. They were like they got tired of all the pussy that was coming at the same three ways four ways I don't fault him if you've tried every flavor of ice cream Why not try some pro you pro you might have a different taste might be a little sure
Starting point is 00:06:28 It's got to be insulting to be the last pussy you fuck before you go Bank David. I was gonna try some gay stuff, dude because I got to be honest I'm getting so bored of pussy same old same or just to be that last girl. I was like that was wonderful He goes that was it was it was it was it was wonderful I don't know if it was wonderful. It was the same as the other one You know how should be wonderful the way my dick used to get hard for women now it does for David Bowie Oh David they that must have been a fun conversation Bowie and Mack and they're like we fucked everybody Except each and make and they're like, we fucked everybody except each other.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Did you ever see the, did you ever see the shreds video Greg of where they take the music, the actual music out of dancing in the streets with Bowie and Mick Jagger. And it just looks like, it just looks like a gala fest. It's hilarious. I fucking love that. You just hear the claps very loud. It just looks like a gala fest Yeah, you just hear the claps very loud The squeaks of the shoes Would you I mean that's the big question. I there's two different kinds of guys There's guys that would have sex with Mick Jagger and there's guys and I'm not talking now. Yeah, I'm talking prime time mix
Starting point is 00:07:45 I'll I'll take him 2020 COVID restrictions and there's guys, and I'm not talking now. I'm talking prime time mix. Yes or no? I'll take him 2020 COVID restrictions. Yeah. No, I don't think so. I don't think so. I think I'd probably rather, I'm desperate more for love. So I would probably just wanna be his friend.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Here's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking both those guys might have just been gay or the genuine sense of the word bisexual because I got to say I know those guys before they jumped from pussy boredom to gay sex, they did skip over on betting OB swimming, maybe just some fetishy women in general. You know what I mean? Oh, that would have been great. Like 70, 75 to 78 was Jagger's chubby chaser years.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Yeah, older women just like just go just they didn't try. They didn't try everything. They expelled everything in that scene. There was some on open doors and they had in the advent calendar for those guys. There was you know royalty. They never fucked royalty. Yeah. Like a nice old like an old princess that lives in fucking Scotland
Starting point is 00:08:49 Oh, they could have got some Denmark queen to bang out. Yeah, that was fun They didn't open every day. That's what I'm saying. It's like hey Mick You want to have sex with a fat girl tonight, and he was like yeah, I'd rather fuck you and they went I'd rather fuck you too I'll fuck you. Well, I'd rather fuck you and they went I'd rather fuck you to I'd rather fuck you would I'd rather fuck you well I'd rather fuck you. Oh Probably fuck right now Oh dancing in the street Before you know, we're wearing unnecessarily thin trench coats and dancing in the street Calling out to another boy. I want a kiss
Starting point is 00:09:22 it out to another boy I want to kiss. Yeah, I think in that CBGB movie or something, Iggy Pop did that with somebody. Maybe it was the guy who ran CBGB or something and he was like, do you want to suck your dick or something like that? He's like, what do you stop kidding around? He's like, I've already fucked every girl in here. So aren't you? Let me suck your dick. I don't follow the logic.
Starting point is 00:09:44 We know what whatever says that they just they just take off their giant belt that's not even through belt loops and just get down to it yeah it is weird that Bowie's next collaboration was was with Queen oh yeah was under pressure. I sure yeah He's like hey fuck it. Why not a guy with an open one huh? That's party. Yeah, but we collaborate with a lot of people But oh yeah, we fucking I mean they had him like Link to so many fucking people. I would have you like guessed it on your shit at all if everyone if your friend is at all If you had to answer a lot of questions like that. Did you fuck them fuck them like do you guys stay at Bowie's last night yeah we stayed all
Starting point is 00:10:25 weekend he goes I bet you did I bet you fucking did and it's like no not like that we just hung out but then it's then it gets real when he dies they call you they're like are you okay like do I told you I did a song with the guy in the end of the afternoon that's why Yaman has been with him forever you either got to stay single forever or be with the same one The Iman's got stories dude. She's walked in. She's walked in on all kinds of crazy smells. Yeah views I Promise you even before he died David Bowie he looked at her one last time and just says Please don't please don't let my children find out anything about what I did
Starting point is 00:11:01 uh... please don't please don't let my children find out anything about what i did that do you uh... great your sons are like grown now right there in college well my i have a son and a daughter my sons in college or i should say he's uh... i'm paying thirty grand a year by since the garage on a fucking laptop
Starting point is 00:11:21 that's all yeah he's learning nothing. My daughter's an online college. And just I don't even know what to say to a reprimand. She's 18, but like she's just openly admitting to like just yeah, we all kind of cheat, throw it, and do whatever. You can just kind of look everything up.
Starting point is 00:11:40 And it's right. And I think she even says the teachers are like, yeah, you're just gonna cheat. So like she just who cares? Just look at all of them. What is it with like, kids, and I know you and your daughter have a very probably more open relationship in terms of
Starting point is 00:11:53 what you tell each other than any father daughter I know, but like, it just seems like, what that's what I mean, like my son tells me everything. And it's like, dude, don't tell me, fucking your cheating. Don't tell me, like, I all the time. dude don't tell me fucking your cheating Don't tell me I don't want to know that shit
Starting point is 00:12:08 And I'm your father and then like let me go through life just blissfully Ignore it a little bit, you know, I definitely understand that no, we're not like my daughter did she did tell me when she smoked pot like Especially as of being 18 years old Yeah, she went but I I mean, she definitely did like, uh, she waited. I was in Austin, Texas with her for a couple of days. And I came home a few days before her. Second I left, she got tattoos. Like, yeah, uh, immediately.
Starting point is 00:12:39 And, uh, so you know, but she comes home, but it's the same thing where it's like, she got my, my instinct is to be like, what the fuck you do? Like, come on, like, don't get to, but you're just like thing where it's like she got my my instinct is to be like what the fuck you do? Come on like don't get to but you're just like you're just like Okay, just like you know make decisions with them. Don't just get things to the shitty I made those mistakes, you know, so I do try to talk to her Through that stuff for sure, but it is still like it's really hard when you've lived the kind of life that we've led and yours is dark In the mind that I wrote a book about you know do get a girl to go to the prom with me by promising an eight ball of blow and arrested a million times and you
Starting point is 00:13:13 know and so they read the book and from that point on from when they were 14 on it was like dad you thought you you woke up in a fucking preschool with a fucking bomb next year and you you've got to rest it. And so, you know, this is dopey, and so I have no recourse, and so I can't. That is a thing. My daughter is aware of my comedy. She's seen it at this point now,
Starting point is 00:13:36 and so it's like, you all right, it's also the thing, as I'm saying, so even with her saying that her and the other kids are figuring it out this way in school and whatever it is they're doing, I'm just like, she hasn't even pulled yet the full on like you didn't go to college and you're doing fine, you know. So the fact she's even in college still, I'm like great, great. Sure. Just get grades. Man, talk about when you were getting that book deal, you didn't think that thing was going
Starting point is 00:14:01 to haunt you with your children for the rest of your life. It was like publishing my diary, you know, when you're writing it, you're like, I'm going to write a real book. This is one of those comedian rights of fucking memoir and it's a bunch of short stories and stuff. It was like, I'm going to really like open up and tell the most embarrassing stories in my life. And so I did and then it came out and like one of the stories was about going into the brambles in Boston in the Fenway to to blow a guy to see if I would. Like just as a dare to myself, not that I was gay, but it was by David Bowie's face. And so I wondered
Starting point is 00:14:41 I was like, what was your glam time. Yeah, I put out a little eyeliner and I walked in and I didn't know how it would work. I just kind of like wandered in and it was dark and it was shadows and it was fucking scary and I was like I'm the suck of dick. And so then this guy pops out behind a tree and he walks up to me and I'm like I guess this is the guy and he unzips his fly and he pulls out his shaft and I look at it and he reaches and he pulls his balls up like button button is still button just so he got he got the dick and then the balls both through the zipper through the zipper one at a time We're three at a time and then I got a guy to have a nice. I you wouldn't do that
Starting point is 00:15:30 He wouldn't do that if you didn't have a nice hang it squeezes everything up too much. Yes traffic Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and so I just looked at it and I was like nope I'm feeling it no Explanation and I got scared and I pushed them and he fell down and then he got up and he Brandon to the woods with his dick flopping around and I just stumbled down the woods like well, guess I'm not gay. Yeah, I just got agon evidence. I pushed him in down and his nuts hit the ground. I just didn't suck a dick. That's how I know.
Starting point is 00:15:59 I walked right up to the edge and I turned around. How do I know I'm not gay? Because I just didn't suck a dick. Yeah, and I kept... How do I know I'm that gay? I'm a gay basher. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Because I've got three bodies on my... Oh my God! And then Jay and I are character witnesses to that story? Or like, I served for the first time. I thought it was a bit of a stick. Okay, that's great though. You see it and you go, nope. Nope, not my thing at all. Yeah, didn't even have to fucking suck it to find out. Um, it was a concept before that. Yeah, it became a reality. Have you always been now it's
Starting point is 00:16:36 funny. I can see my having the same reaction or whatever thought where I'm like, now I can't put anything sexual on a guide all. Therefore, I am able to go quite further. It turns out that many people on the left of something gay. Oh, Jay, I would say it doesn't have an end to that. It's like it would make people laugh. And I didn't care. I wouldn't say, let me check the time and I would have Dan's dick wrapped around my wrist. You know, I mean, like if it was the people that are most most but like Dan, I might as well as like it said his hand on fire. Yeah, he wants no parts of
Starting point is 00:17:11 that. But I think it'll be funny. And at the end of the day, I'm like, yeah, what's the gayest thing you've ever done? Make it with Louis J. Gomez. I mean, hard. It was a hard, I was there. I was in the wings. Yeah, Joe listen, I were there were there bring up the clip but talk about a thing that I'm really like you watch the clip But but talk about something where you're like when it's done you are like yep. I'm not gay I really it's like I think being in the same by the way completely for If it was I guess it was like the right acting thing or the funniest thing It's not that I wouldn't do it again, but I did definitely did not enjoy what was happening like you could see it for sure. Yeah, it's no play acting to it I'm definitely like oh man like we were really doing this, but I'm doing it
Starting point is 00:17:54 It's not like and that's not like he's a decent looking guy sure Yeah, yeah, yes Absolutely and that really is the the thing the sad when you did that that night or rather didn't do that But when you went out to the brambles there It's so disheartening to see though that there is no equivalent to heterosexual sex of just being like I can really use somebody else to make me come right now where you can just dip into a certain part of a park or You could always pay for it. Sure place where there's just dip into a certain part of a park. Or you can always pay for it, but a place where there's just like a woman like sitting there like,
Starting point is 00:18:28 I wish someone would just come along and fuck me. Like wait in here. It doesn't exist. Yeah, straight people look. And I think honestly, that was probably my fixation with trying it was, I was so fucking horny in college. And I just felt like, wait a minute, there's an arrangement out there where people just fuck show the sticks like at will and that's what drew me into those woods
Starting point is 00:18:51 You know what? It's also it's also the same way that college students react to Socialism when they hear about it the first time. They're like that sounds fucking awesome. I would love everyone gets paid Well, you know, it's communism rules. Of all things to explore, even the walk to the edge like you did, to explore is the concept that you go, if you love it, great. It's available to you nightly every day of the week. It's insane. You'd like to just pop one out.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Yeah. It's there. That's why straight people, we learned the hard way when we tried to copy grinder We were like we've got, you know tender tender. I swear to God. Grindr was like dude. This is this is the pros It really is because tender I asked when I talked to audiences man and asked him I always ask when they met on dating apps if they fuck right away This is like the question I will ask next and it happens so much and tender More often than not they did not fuck on the first day and that's like exactly what that was put that was supposed to be like
Starting point is 00:19:52 Let's fuck tonight. Yeah grinder did that grinder showed up I was like blow me in the bathroom 20 feet away and they're like bitches came in and bitches came in and girled it all up You guys came in there with your meat dubbius and you just, your bios. You fucking. Now Tinder should be called fucking Kathiender because you got to meet for a coffee date before you fuck. There's always gotta be like that,
Starting point is 00:20:14 that hour long date that people tell me about where you just sit there. By the end of the day, by the end of the day, you both have the breath of a homeless person and you can't see shit. That was getting laid Get late after coffee day Yeah, you're just all jumpy and fucking ready to poop
Starting point is 00:20:31 A first date Never in a million years would I ever have a first date be During the daytime I've done coffee as the first I don't drink I don't drink anymore So I didn't know how to do it. And I was just like, do you want to rest your mind? I'm sure of it. A whole meal? A whole meal with this person sucks?
Starting point is 00:20:51 Coffee, you're like, and that's how the dates were gonna be. I was just fine, you're fucking weird. Is that it? No. At the end? No, I just got it weird. Hot coffee in your face. Ah, get out of here, wench.
Starting point is 00:21:03 The next one comes in now. You know, you're like, wow, this was so great. All right, we'll call. But I'm telling you. Wow, Dan, so did Dates and really ugly girls. It's like, well, they were in ugly before the hot coffee. Yeah, you know, he scalds them. But I did so well.
Starting point is 00:21:20 I can't say such an interesting thing because it is. If you are even, I guess, like what would be officially a bisexual dude, like one, you could satisfy one end of that. All it's, it's magnificent, but man, son of a bitch, I just don't want a fuck a guy. Nope. Ben in the room with another weiner and had zero, like, all right, let's get to that.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Dang, it's a little too freaked out if you know what I'm saying. I go, I will never do it. I will never do it. Go touch me. I would do it. My dad didn't do it to me. Why didn't you think? My dad didn't do it from 6 to 8 to me, missionary.

Starting point is 00:22:04 Well, wait, wait, wait wait 20 minutes in, we make adjustments on the sound. Actually, that's us. We actually just saw that there's a message we didn't see it. So that would be the hosts being very unprofessional. Yeah, no, it's better. Jacob actually was doing the right thing. Is that any better? No. No. No. No. It sounds like you're on a speaker or you're being kicked up by two mics. Oh. You know what? Why don't we just take a quick break? That's that. Oh, wow. I would say. Woo. Great. Coming in. Nice. There we go. All right. Good. All right. I had a I had a blue to speak around in the office I didn't realize well someone was just getting your audio

Starting point is 00:27:29 Legacy story about the power of memory as a means of healing as a class learns to remember a beloved teacher also the teacher dies That's pretty hardcore. That's pretty Tarantino for a kid's book. It is. I was about to put them through I think they probably they probably wouldn't really have to deal with that they would just say they were changing teachers it's this is this is actually the sequel the original book was about the school shooting that the yes called bullets from johnny description of the
Starting point is 00:28:01 six-level taken which is a sequel. It's a Johnny has two dads. Yeah. Yeah.

This is pretty dark.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Pretty much dementia. Really and truly a story about dementia and inspiring tender poor trail of a child dealing with his grandfather's dementia with beautiful. The most rage is going to be what his dad is going to show his grandfather looking at him and just seeing a fucking like a giant juicy steak or something. My friend Brian when we were growing up his grandfather lived alone in the Ed dementia so we used to have to and this is back in the days when when
Starting point is 00:28:48 people had dementia, we still let him live alone. Crazy. Crazy. You remember that shit?

And we used to go over Brian's grandfather's house and he would give Brian like five dollars every and he would give Brian
Starting point is 00:29:09 like five dollars every time he would come over and take out the garbage. We used to go every fuck, we were supposed to go once a week. We used to go every fucking day. That's so fucking true. That's so fucked up by hilarious to be like, yeah, no, I just took it out again. Also, if you need something that's $10, you can just wait for the door to shut, and then you ring it again and you got it. I just took out that guy.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Well, we should just do, by the way, for four of those days, you're not going to have to take out the garbage. So you can just really just ring the doorbell when he opens it goes, all right, just took out the garbage. It goes, oh, okay. Also, I shoveled your driveway.
