Right on The Great South Volcano, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you. I'm sorry, it took so long. Yeah, that's fine. I have the best intentions. Worth the way. It's New York.

We'll see. Dude, you're the one, I feel like you're, like, one of the people I know, probably the busiest person I know that does a pretty good job of being busy, where you're still like, you get to all the things. You're said, if you're doing it right, if you do a day of podcasts, you're like, you collect them. And then you're just like, hey, today I'm doing. done things.

I always, I'm always just like, I totally want to do this. I just, it might take a minute, please bear with me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you know what? You have, you have the nice personality that I was just in Milwaukee and like the Midwest. And I forgot being in New York what it's like when people are nice that it just feels suspicious.

Right, right. It's so true. It's like, what does this person want from me? Yeah, because when someone's nice to you in New York, they're trying to scam you. Yeah, you go,

what the fuck are you? What are you? You go, oh shit. I'll do it. do it. I'll go down with it. Is that fine?

Yeah. Yeah. Well, people in New York are nice to you, you're like, something is about to happen. Yeah, you kind of almost like don't like them a little bit. You're like, what's this person's problem? Well, you think something's up. Yeah. Something's like, for sure.

When I was, I got in the Uber and I started talking to the lady and she was like, she's like, where you from and blah, blah. And have you ever been here? And she goes, oh, the downtown's this. She goes, if you want, like, before I drop you off, I could just do a little tour and show you the places. And I'm like, what the fuck are you doing? What?

Yeah. I want my kidneys. that is in New York if someone if someone's like hey you want me just like give you a little tour around you're just like yeah you'll wake up in a bathtub I live here and I still when I'm going through like Times Square I still take my wallet and put it in my front pocket yeah every time well it's because you're people are professionals you know they're going to touch me here just lightly and I'm going to be wearing no pants you know so it's like but I know when I go to like I was just where the hell was I recently and I was like I like to go into the town

you know like go eat at a place it's like a local place you know just like see the The local record shop, you know what I mean? And I've been loving, I've been missing a sense of community. Right. Yeah. I've realized this because especially like myself, like myself, like I don't really like because sometimes if I go out, I will have to deal with, you know, being recognized, right? So like I don't just do like, you know, like the same exact things I used to do like a few and far between now.

You can't just go to the glory hall. They know it's you. They know it's me. They know it by the markings. And now at this point, no But no, but like in a small town Like I don't care Like it's just like so nice

Like talk to these people And I've been doing it so much now on the road Like I'll get up early Go get a coffee Just walk around the town But I'm like like every like tired guy out of tune Like I'm like hey And it's just so nice

Like sorry to bother you go Actually I have like 20 So I've been doing that like out of town a lot And it's been really nice Like it feels like the way people should be I mean, my last apartment I lived in, we lived here for two years. I moved down and I go, I've never met a neighbor. I go, I've never met one of my neighbors.

And if you do meet him, it's because they're mad at you. Yeah, yeah, but I literally, I go, I left that. I go, I couldn't, like, I think I met one, like, I saw one neighbor in the hallway and then I was like, didn't know their names, and then I never met another one of my neighbors. And I go, that's, like, so crazy. Yeah. Sometimes you're in the elevator with people and you're, no one's saying anything. But you're in the building you live in, you know, it's like, I don't know.

I don't know what it's like. Yeah. politics it's like an op you walk by you know what i mean you walk by you're just like okay what are you what are you doing there you don't look into somebody else's like apartment or whatever you get yeah up like no the only thing is i have a sauna in my building so i've been i have friends now sauna friends oh that's good yeah you got sort of sauna up now the sauna friends you know what happens you know the type of friends men making son we actually don't talk about what happens in the sauna so don't worry about it they say like when we're not home use a sauna

or do you sitting in a sauna with them yeah the sonas in the one guy has a pool, my friend has a pool, and he looks nice enough to give me a key to his house. And so, like, if I'm not home, you go use the pool. There's an apartment. I know what I'm saying. Like, they have the sauna. Like, you know, you can't be on his schedule. Like, sometimes you need the sauna.

It would be really, it would go a long way if you just said he has a key. Use a sauna. Whatever you want, you know what I mean? My place is your place. I mean, I'd love to have sauna access like that. You know what else I've been seen at epitemic of is Uber drivers. I've had two in a row that Uber drivers that the minute you, you get in the car, they start telling you that

they only do Uber, like they're like, I only do this because of this, I actually have a business, this guy, me and JJ were with the guy, he went through an hour of telling us that he has three businesses all worth a million dollars each, and it was 9 a.m. and he was driving me to the airport on Saturday, and it was like, why are you doing? I do actually find that in like, you get

that morning, like, never in New York, but like in small cities where some people are like, yeah, I just I'm like, sit at home and I just kind of like to drive Uber. Hate the wife. Yeah, just like to get out of the house and talk to people. They're like, I can turn on and off whenever I want. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know how it goes, you know.

Like, I just do it to make extra money. Yeah, I had a guy in Florida, I think, and like, probably Fort Lauderdale. He was like, yeah, he's like, I own all these homes. And he's like, I'm basically like, I'm rich. I'm rich. But they like to chat. But he's just like, yeah, I just like drive over. I bet you there are, there are a few people that are like filthy rich that do it because they like to talk.

Yeah, that's got to be real. It's got to be a few. They like to drive, go for a drive. Yeah. The drive's fine. But then they go, he was like, you know, I just do it because I like to talk. And I was like, okay, well, sorry, it's 8 a.m. And I just fucking haven't slept.

And, like, sorry, I'm not much talking. And he goes, where you from? I go, I just told you. No, when they don't listen. You know, when you have an, when I go, I take the first flight home every time now on the weekend. So it's usually a five or six a.m. flight. So you're in an Uber at four o'clock in the morning. And these people that you get in, they're like, the music is blasting and they want to talk to you.

And it's just like, they must really want to talk to you too. Because they're probably at the end of their shift. Yeah. Right. So they're probably like me to just stay away. I'm just coming at the end of the way. I'm like, all right, man. Can you lower this?

Dude, EDM. Midwest getting an impractical joker in the car. That's like a story for them for the week. Yeah, they're just like, what the fuck? Really, anyway. No one ever thinks they're going to see me. Are you ever scared? That's what you.

I, you know, it's so funny, like, now how normal Ubers are, but like when it first started, it's like, wait, I'm sorry, like, I'm just going to get in this person's car? Yeah. Like, it's just unsanctioned. I know. You know, like, it is weird. It was weird. And also, from their perspective, like, letting people into their car.

Like, I remember when at first time, too, one guy was like, I was like, do you deal with drunk people? He's like, so many drunks. And I was like, he's like, that's where, like, you know, most of the work is, like, picking up people from the bars and stuff. And I was like, so do you get people to get sick in your car? And he's like, yeah, but I like it. I get $150. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he got out, show me, open the thing.

And he had a, like, one of those baskets with all the cleaning supplies in it. He's like, they puke. He's like, I got all this. I wipe it right up. It's an automatic 150. me. So he's like, I like, so he's like driving crazy. Like really trying to get it. I'm like, all right. I get it. But also like, how many times has the car? I'm sitting right now. You never had one? You're welcoming the puke. I had a puk

coming back from Ari's party. You did? Not me. Oh, you, you, you smell. Oh, you were in a Uber pool? Yeah, no, no, with my girl. And then the, the, the guy was like super mad and I go, buddy, you think I'm happy about this? And he goes, yeah, fair. And then I go, I want me to help you clean it up he goes yeah yeah yeah and then by the end of it we were like joking around and then that's tough gave him the 200 yeah it's terrible yeah because he's getting she had three fucking white claws one time my wife threw up on a plane because just because it was so much turbulence deep throat and yeah turbulence and I'm coupled with the deep throating no but it was like I felt so bad for her but I also felt like so like I'm like I'm so sorry like

to everybody else. But she was silent and she did it in the bag. I never really saw anyone do it. Like the bag, the bags work. I've done the bag one time. I was coming back from Montreal to when I lived in Toronto. And I was like,

I did GHB the night before. Oh my God, like recreationally, nobody drugged me. Whoa. And I never done it before. And then I was on the plane and it just hit some pocket of turbulence. It's like an hour flight or something.

It's so quick. You had the GHB pukes. Yeah, it was like some small flight and it just like, it just went like one of these. and I was just like and I filled that fucking bag out and the whole thing is

you have to kind of yeah and you have to save it for later oh it grosses me yeah I feel you're nauseous and then you have to hold the bag right because like they don't come and like get it from you right

so then I kind of like you know like a coffee it's like a coffee bag where you like do the things and then I'm just holding it for the rest of the flight yeah it's like a walk and then you walk out with the bag of people

well no I walk I go what do I do with this and then the flight and it was like just give it to me she took it wow friendly skies yeah it was nice oh yeah you are the grossed out

I feel like I'll bag of puke though dude I'm the exact same way dude I remember like even with prank stuff before because that like doing it was always the like gross stuff where I'm like there's no way that I could do it and then I figured out that I could puke easily for gross

stuff and you're like that's always funny yeah I'll gag if you start gag and I'll start gag and it's always kind of funny they do it to me all the time on the show like if they just talk about something or I smell something it starts like it doesn't stop I feel like there's three genres of like on the street

fucking with people in prank content there's like one genre that's like just like funny one genre that's sort of like jackass like I'm gonna kick you in the balls like pain and then gross out's probably like the third category gross is bad I'm like I'm more of a kick get kicked out of a mall's guy

I'm less of a eat cockroach guy Tom Green remember when he had the doing the interviews with the shit on the mic oh my God I would have lost it I would have lost it When I'm in, like, even like the airport bath, yeah, it's always amazing to me how people just let loose in the public restrooms. Yeah.

Like, there's not even any, like, covering, like, trying. Nothing. Like, you're in the urinal and someone just, you just hear them just just, just evacuate. And I can't even, and then moments later, it's in the, it's like, I run out. But like, I will audibly go, oh, like, I don't even care. It's like, you're not, you have no shame. Why would I? I'm grossed out.

It's like, I don't need to hear this. Ask for a courtesy flush. It's so, it's so weird. what's acceptable when you go in there. I know. I always wait for the dryer to come on. Yeah. If I ever,

ever have to take your shit in a public restaurant, which is like, I've done it like three times in my life. Yeah. It's like a whole thing, man. Really, you won't do it. I won't do it.

If I can, I'll hold it in as best. I do the leg up on the stall door. And I, you got to hang white. I hang paper on the cracks of the doors because it's, the,

whenever I get seen? Yeah, the engineering ball on those doors. Like, I hang those there. I put like half a roll on the seat and then i'm and then i put take your shirt up then i put so much

then i kiss stanza i put like so much of the roll in the I like soak up the water with the really I make a whole like because I don't want anything splashing no that really you put some you put paper down yes yes

holy shit you know when you bungee jump and there's like the padding there that's I do I put that I don't want anything splashing why don't you bring your own like a seat uh seat covers that come with I would. Like, you're traveling with, like, a neck pillow.

I mean, it would probably fit inside the neck pillow. The neck pillow is the cushion, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? You just put on a bag, like, a plastic bag over it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the shape and everything. Yeah, it is exactly the shape.

No one's thought of that. That's pretty... Dude, the thing they just did that in China, because, uh, for, like, they have all these, like, smart toilets and stuff. So if you go to a toilet in a lot of places in China, if you want to get toilet paper you have to pay for it so like you know how you use your phone to like buy shit you have to

use your phone or credit card or you have to watch like a 45 second ad like how you get the internet you got to put the time in to get the paper oh it's so ridiculous and that crazy like you just fucking you're like I need it so bad sitting there and you're like Verizon

Cricket Wireless $40 all in dude that's gonna come here all the shit that's gonna come here all the shit that goes to China, like, eventually it gets here. Honestly, though, I like the pay toilets. Like, like, if Europe is big with the pay toilets. I've seen those ones with a, with a, the thing, the cover comes on automatically.

They have those. Is that what it is? But, like, if you just go to, like, for example, like a train station in, like, Rome or something, like, you have to pay to use the toilet. Like, it's like 50 cents or something. Do they, and they see you and they go, yeah, there's a big. I think I think it's good.

Just just just a little something. A little of the riffraff out. And it just keeps whatever, whatever percentage of that population is it, like, wouldn't dare pay 50 cents you don't want them in there exactly honestly like i used to be like this is an abomination right that i'm in a train station right now and you're going to charge me 50 cents to go use the toilet and then i totally was like no no that's great that's actually 50 cents it's like a light fee it's like a yeah it's now that you have the on your phone it's easier yeah well now yeah

but honestly that is great value yeah we've been trained to just think that we're owed toilets well so i yeah yeah but then also the other side is you go places i just paid seven dollars exactly right 50 cents and take a shit 14 shit It's like amazing Really I'll buy the coupon book Right but then you go places like Australia And they're like if you want condiments

You have to pay for them I go no no no No that's ridiculous If I buy If I get French fries You have to provide the ketchup Oh that's yeah I'm not paying extra

Sometimes they'll do that They get cutesy with that Here's some places 50 cents for the cat You know whatever Yeah I think it's a struggling business I get it but

Yeah That's like a policy A standard But then you go to someone's house and they're like want some ketchup and they pull out a drawer of all the Wendy's ketchup and you go, this is why.

Yeah, exactly right, yeah. I click no utensils on seamless. I have a thing with plastic and stuff. I try not to, you know, whatever, whatever. Have yours germ stuff ever gotten out of control like Howie Mendel style or it? I do just do pounds like him. Yeah, okay.

Yeah, only because like people, that's just a common sense. Try to shake my hand all day long. Yeah. And it's just like I will get sick. You know, I will. That's fair. Yeah, yeah.

So it's like, I just do that. Like, it's weird because that sets the initial tone of every single exchange so people are just like oh oh okay oh oh and it's always a top and i don't want to even i don't want it to be a topic i don't know the answer for that because i find that as well my answer is i always after i shake a bunch of people's hands i just i try not to touch myself and not always yeah always fucking wash my hand but it's like you're right it's like you the world needs to decide handshakes are over yeah there's too many people i just go can i do this and they go oh it's not you it's me and i just keep but you have to explain yourself

Yeah, I have to say it, yeah. Or I'll carry, like, anti-back, but if I ever, like, don't have it for some reason, and then I accidentally shake a hand, I'm just like, I'm walking around. You would think I'm going around like this. Because I'm like, because you won't think about it and you'll go like that or whatever, you know, or you'll touch. Oh, worse, dude. I just don't think about it, and I'm like, fuck. Fucking hands halfway down my throat.

What am I doing? Oh, why did I? Yeah, dude. It's like, but it does feel like a clammy one or something like that. been getting clammy ones then i always think with the clammy guys i go how do you not have the how do you have the audacity to shake someone's hand that clammy of a hair i know and what what why you have bad why is it clammy you know like i i don't think they're nervous they're nervous oh is that what happens yeah that's that's straight up nervous yeah but if i was that nervous

i don't think i don't think i've had clammy hands you haven't met in a practical joker Get you nervous I don't know I feel like my hands are always just like room temp Yeah Yeah sometimes when I'm on my laptop working Sometimes for a while I'll be typing And then I lift my hands up

And my laptop is just like That's gross That's another thing Like if you go and use like in the office and stuff People like oh let me see Like we're writing it on the laptop I don't want to really touch anyone's lap You know what it is when you

Because I feel like a lot of the stuff Sort of reasonable but it makes you feel like it's like you're having sex with a girl and she doesn't want to wear a condo but you have to be like I'd actually prefer to you don't feel you kind of feel like a bitch yeah yeah yeah yeah but you gotta do it right I don't know and that's where you have to be like you know can we just yeah you're you're because you're breaking the norm's wrong exactly and I got branded this you know on the show or this started way before the show because I was bartending and every night people would want to shake my hand hello every night and so I would do it who wants to shake the bartender's hand I was just like, hey, I just want to say it. I'm super drunk. Can I shake that? I want to shake the hand to the man that got him of his drunk.

Neighborhood spot, right? So everybody's best goodness I've ever had. So I would just do it and then go, I mean, I had like my hands like skin was falling off because I would like anti-back every damn. Yeah, you're like a nurse or something. Yeah. And so like I got like, you know, but just put a glove up. Is that per?

Just a latex glove. Are you into flare? No, it's for shaking hands. So I'm not really like this germaphobe, but like, you know. If you're saying it's pretty normal shit. Yeah, because if I get sick and I was getting sick, you know, and then I... I'm going to screw you. I'm sick like six to eight weeks min if I get a cold.

Yeah. Like, it doesn't matter what I pump into my body. Six weeks per cold? Yeah, man. It just lingers and lingers and lingers. Yeah. I was the last one I had. It was like, honestly, I want to say I was sick for a month.

He's been six for 42 years. Yeah, it was honestly like a month. I'm just going to avoid it at all costs. Just like I said to myself, I'm done with hangovers. And I said that, like, just, years ago and I just I've never drank to that point again ever again. I just really I was like I cannot sustain I never want to feel like this again and I still I don't I'm kind of getting to that point you have four for like a three four tops yeah that's it I'll have a that's the sweet spot

if I even drink like a nice dinner or something maybe I'll have like a martini or something like some wine but that's it I stopped doing like shots I stopped drinking to get also it was taking like too long to get drunk yeah I'm probably like I remember my bartender for like a decade so it's like I had a tolerance like it didn't pay like why am I going to do like two three shots for what you know what it's a cycle I heard like a lot of radio guys you know the guys that do radio every day I actually heard Tucker Carlson talking about this that he was like a crazy fucking drinking like a vodka every single morning like dude I know so many radio guys never did it in the morning when you're doing five hours a day and then you get you're at nine

and you're like I got to do three hours it was like take that edge of you and then yeah it's a cycle where you're just like oh and now I'm never not drunk yeah man No, I was always good with that. Never really got, it was never anything on an issue or anything. But I found, like, I discovered weed in, like, 2018. And, like, that helped. As an adult. Yeah, the first, first.

And so, like, I don't even smoke that much anymore. I got heavy pandemic. I probably all did. Yeah. And then now it's just like, you know, I'll smoke, like, a few nights a week at night only. And just like, like, not even, not even, like, like, a third of a joint. As opposed to having six beers. Yeah, yeah.

And it's just to, just to, like. I love it. I won't stop people in there. I'm thinking if I don't. People are just, some people are probably like, you just don't have to do either. And you're like, okay, in the real world here. I'm trying not to do either. But like the weed really does help turn my brain off.

Otherwise, it's just not, it just doesn't stop. You know, like it's like a fucking mental presence. So it's like, dude, I don't know if you saw today, by the way, is the rapture. Have you seen this? No. Yeah, it's supposed to be today or tomorrow. I think it's, today or tomorrow. Today or tomorrow.

Well, no, no. people like a doomsday like a people that are listening to this uh it already didn't happen or this episode is not being listened yeah yeah yeah yeah we're not live yeah but dude this is like taken over the internet because any delusion you have is kind of why i'm bringing it up it can fucking take over like your brain and just that's all you think about yeah yeah yeah there was that one in like 2021 or something that was supposed to be like yeah yeah yeah that was like in 20s that came and went and there was y2k believe it or not they've all come in right yeah i mean literally there's been calls for the rapture end of the world for thousands of years. What's today's who sponsors

today? This is like a Christian one and Danny's right that it's three days but it started out it's one day and then they started to get cold feet about whether it was going to happen I think so they started being like it's actually a bit of a range so it could be you know what I mean well I think it's just called the rapture I think this is the rapture Jesus comes back for a thousand this is a Christian one this is a generic one this called the rapture no this is the one this is The one? This is the one. This is Jesus comes.

How did that not come across my desk? If this guy's, if this guy is correct, then Jesus Christ, the son of God, is, will be returning to Earth today or tomorrow. A week ago. A week ago. Tuesday. Yeah, yeah. It comes back on a Tuesday or maybe a Wednesday.

Not Sunday. Not Sunday. The day of the Lord. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good point. Well, he wanted to have let them have one last pray. What do those people do after a passes? Are they like, do they resign themselves that?

How do they take their TikTok channel that's all about the rapture? How do they pivot? No, but that is a lot of their identities. And they bank everything on it. They triple down on it. So then when it doesn't happen, are they like, do they have a scapegoat? It's like, oh, it could also be this day? Or are they like, what do they say?

I don't know. And I need answers right now, guys. I need them from you. No, I think you're right, though. Well, some of them are, and it's even worse than what you're saying because some of those guys, like there's a bunch of videos right now, like some Uber driver that like pick pick the people up from the church, and they gave him $5,000 because they are like, we have to give away all our money.

Dude, there's girls right now being like, I don't know what to do with my dog, and he was like, it's so sad because my dog's going to be dead. And the churches all do this weird thing where they raise money, but you're just like, why are you raising money if you think the rapture's happening? Because they don't really believe it. What is the money for? The pastors, I guess a lot of these pastors, they're just like, you know, give us your money because you're all dying, including me, but, you know, I might as well

have the money. It doesn't track. Yeah, I mean, everyone's going to be dead. What do you mean, what are you going to do with your dog? you don't you know what I mean dogs go to heaven with me I should explain okay so this rapture is different so what happens in this one is essentially heaven like opens up I'm paraphrasing heaven opens up it's above obviously and then it's up there they beam all the people that are going to heaven up and then everyone else it's bad I guess I'll just be on the ground and be like later on it's so everyone else is left on earth and then some people started arguing being like no that's not not what happens. What actually happens is the hell opens up

and they take all the bad people, the Democrats is what they said. That's what they said. Even the moderates? Yeah, all the gays. Especially the moderate. I think the moderates stay on earth and then the sinners go to,

and then something like that. But basically the main one is like UFO style beamed up to heaven and you have to be naked to get beamed up. So now that now you're fucking I'm not, I swear. No. I swear.

That sounds like, do they take your clothes off or are they like, we're waiting? Or maybe it beams you out of your clothes. Like is Jesus like shit or get out of the pot right now? If I was in this like world and I thought it was coming, even if once they told me that, I would be like, this is suspicious. Even if I wanted to believe. I'm like it just sounds like your friends are all in on it. Like, right, then we just got to get our clothes off and then it's going to happen. So don't forget.

What are you going to do at noon? You're going to take your clothes off. It's like, all right. And it's like, guys, what's going on? Yeah, you pulled it up, Franks, you know, and what's pulling one on you? Why? Like, what is the reasoning behind it? Like, Jessel doesn't want to get naked, so I guess we're not going to heaven.

That's funny. I, you know, I was raised Catholic, you know, but I'm not religious at all, you know. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, sometimes you see, look, I'm not taking anything away for anybody, whatever, right? But, well, I mean, they're already wrong. listen to this podcast. Well, the rapture is crazy. But like, but like, even people like, you know, you just see, sometimes you see like, actually, like, you know, intelligent people, you know, and talking about this stuff, you know, and it's just like, to each his own, I guess.

But it's like, I don't, I don't know how you could wrap. I think that's like the internet is, you know, people, it's mostly women. And I, they are like, obviously, you know, psychologically a little more, um, adherent to social pressure. So if like everyone around you start saying this, it just becomes like, oh, okay you know dude when i think there's that and then the internet bubble we had those those new jersey drones so dude i i i actually became that woman because i was like i after like like a certain amount i like i was like no but really what the fuck it like like you can't have our they were saying nothing to us nothing and they were the size of minivan yeah yeah

these like tiny like dj i dj i they were like a size of a fucking minivan and i i i got those theories heavy so like my family would go to bed and then by nine 30 i was i had but i was at my window with binoculars. Did you see any? Every night, like, scrolling TikTok just being like, look at this fucking guy. Did you see any? I did. I saw them.

I saw them, I saw them dozens of them in the sky. They never made it to Manhattan, but I would look out my window when it was so unsettling. To see them. To fact, the fact that they just wouldn't say anything. And then Trump comes in office is, I'm going to tell you everything. I'm going to tell you everything. It's a, I know, blah, blah, blah. And then he also just, his entire response was, they're ours.

You know what? That's it. And then we just let it go. We let it go. But it caused his story. Sterea for like 40 days. I remember the local police where like We haven't been told anything

When local government was like This is like we want to know We want to know Yeah we have to know How do you how do you so that much You already do it all the time But like really that was a real mistrust And like I was like what the fuck is going on

And I don't get like that Yeah But it was like when you got drones overhead That are unidentified And our own government is saying that The government above them Is not saying anything It's something's up

You're just like I got a family bro I got a family here I started, like, Amazoning, like, survival books and, like, masks and shit. That's how it starts. You're right, though. But you get that where you're like, okay, they're lying about that. And then maybe there's two more lies. And then you're kind of like, oh, so nothing's real.

And I probably at some point, it just, like, switches something where you're like, oh, every, you, like, become paranoid. And you're smoking weed twice a day. Yeah, that's when the weed doesn't help it. I was just a few thoughts removed from, like, I need a shotgun. I need to be able to barricade my windows. Like, you know, like, you know, like, whenever, when the shit hits the fan and the people are just, like, trying to get in your house and shit for fractions. Someone comes as you're doing a shot guy. I was, like, how, like, I was really in that space, like, uh, how far are we away from that?

Yeah, and we still don't know why they're testing these giant drones in just civilian areas. Nothing. Like, because I'm sure there's a reason for that. Yeah. Like, it wasn't just like, hey, we got these cool drones were trying out. Yeah, it wasn't like, oh, you're just seeing recreation. You're just noticing this, but this is happening all the time. No, those shits were out every night.

Like, I, like, was. watching them. I never saw that before. In New Jersey. Yeah, just everywhere. I mean, I mean, right out my window. Yeah. And I, I, I'll come to bed. I'm sorry, I'm protecting us. She, my wife would come back in the living room, like, I, you can't do this to you. You can't. I'm like, but you don't understand. They think it's China or aliens. Either or I, I, I, I, I, you know, I got it's not even that crazy because it's not like something where you're like, look, it's right there. Yeah, yeah. And no one's, and then they make you feel crazy for being like gaslight. Yeah, the gaslight. It's like, why.

What is going on here at this level? Like a nationwide gaslight. Well, that's how these people feel. So I actually wrote down the signs of it. They have, so this is, and they go, Rumors of War and Wide, there's like seven. Rumors of War and widespread war, which they're like, well, that's obviously happening.

So they're like, that's one. A growth in lawlessness. Yeah. Which probably. That's what was my shotgun. I was like, if the streets go, you know, take a turn. And the streets have taken a turn. I gotta be ready, bro.

Didn't he had one today on the subway. I was like in the subway yesterday and this guy was playing his speaker on the subway like you know normal subway shit and then he was I guess it was streaming from Spotify but he didn't have Spotify premium so then the commercial came on

so the whole subway car is listening to this guy blaring a commercial and everybody's like what the fuck and then of course it was for schizophrenia medication oh no way that's so funny targeted Ed that's great

so lawlessness like obviously most places are that and increased persecution of Christians and I think they're saying Charlie Kirk's death was that like Charlie Kirk's death apparently has like a big part in a lot of the rapture TikTok stuff so that was like three escalating religious deception

I don't know what that means natural disasters and earthquakes and famines and I think they said something oh there's a big part of Gaza they're saying it's a big part of it there's been a lot of natural disasters lately between earthquakes, mudslides, A lot of that. Yeah.

So there's like there's kind of, you know, you go to Florida. There's a lot of sort of stuff happening there. And then there's something to do with Jewish trumpets. Do you know that where Israel they play trumpets? The Shofar? What is that? It's like a Rams horn or whatever. They play it on.

This one feels like, uh, this one feels like an outlier. I think it's actually for Yom Kippur, which is next week. Okay. Which is the Jewish Day of Atonement. And, uh, that should be more than a day. Yeah. We just like to just. give her one of these.

If you go, that's all the stuff. I'll see you next year. And I think it's for you. The other one's eight days. This one's just today. Yeah, the other one's eight days of fun. This one's just like a quick in and out. I think it's for young people or Russia,

it's one of them, which is, well, it's Jewish holiday today. Yeah, Rush Ashana. New Year. On the rapture? On the rapture. Wow. Conflict of interest. Maybe that's what you're saying then.

So the Trump, yeah, apparently there's conflict of dangerous. There's trumpets play for the Jewish holiday, and apparently that's the Bible or something to do with Bible that has the trumpets being part of the rapture. Yeah. And then preaching gospel worldwide and signs in the heavens. So I don't know about the other two. Maybe the drones.

Then next weekend I got Baltimore, Eugene, New York, Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Francisco, Sacramento, and Nashville at Ryan Lawn Comedy.com for tickets. And I'll be in Dallas next month.

Hyannis Comedy Club, Danny Comedy.com. I can't. Does this stuff bother you guys, or you're just like, fuck it, whatever? I don't, the rapture. No, not the rapture. I just mean, like, just all the shit that's going on. It's like... The internet stuff is being, like, definitely zero.

chance it's not like unhealthy for me i know she's like i mean i'm saying this for a few weeks but like i'm not you're not meant to just see this many murders no on it's like faces of death is the feed yeah that's the feed like that used to be like a vhs that you heard about that you maybe saw and like turned it and you got like copies of a copy yeah and it was like all like and then you saw enough after you saw one thing like i don't even know like like this is like gross i mean but now it's just like on demand yeah like and it's not even accounts you follow like you're like i don't even follow this shit. Yes, it's suggested for me. Suggested for me.

Just what I watch to make you suggest? Some guy taking his last breath on earth. I'm like, I'm not supposed to see this 10 times a week. You even hear, like, if you're on the subway or like wherever you are like in a and someone's on their phone and you hear them listen to something that you know is either a fight, someone got knocked out, someone got shot and everyone's fleeing. You hear like this scroll. And it's just people screaming.

Then you hear like, I think of them out. And you're like, everyone's just being poisoned with this. Yeah, well, my old TikTok's the rapture right now. And then this guy. A closet of gays. Yeah, I told Danny about this guy because there's this whole area of TikTok that's gay guys that are Christian that don't want to be gay, right? They admit they're like they're praying the gay away.

Okay, yeah. Like they're basically-conversion therapying themselves. But they post these videos. I'm not going to play the videos because none of these guys are like famous. So I was going to play it here, but a guy had like, you know, 8,000 followers. So it felt like just putting too much of a citizen on blast. Yeah. But like the guy was very like.

I mean, he's not doing this for nobody to see. No, I know. You're right. But he based posting. But most of the videos are text and word, too, so they don't. That was probably even another factor. So, but it's basically a guy and it says just like, you know, being a Christian and trying to get rid of the gay and he puts sad music there.

And there's like a hundred videos. It's hilarious because, uh... Is that real? Yeah, because, well, it's even funnier because he's, his way of not being gay is the gay as shit. He became like an influencer making pensive videos. He's singing. He does a dance to pray the gay away.

He's like, he has a video platonically hanging out with a woman. And, like, it's literally he's not praying hard enough. It's all the gayest shit. Is that a Broadway show? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something like it hot. It's literally all the gayest shit you've ever seen to be, like, not gay.

But I sent it to, like, five of my friends. So now, not only am I watching these videos on repeat, I'm sending them to people. So the algorithm is like, this guy loves it. This guy's got some demons in the closet. I just read something like Ice T, Ice Cube or thing, who posted something reposted jim carrie and jim carrie was like at 63 if i could tell my 25 year old self like advice and it was like like 10 things that he said and one of them was like

you you should go in right now and completely dismantle your algorithm and and make it change it to be like only like don't get rid of all that stuff and you could do it yeah there is there's there's a instagram has a reset algorithm yeah like you can reset it and on like i don't want to see this and then just follow accounts that don't participate in in any of that stuff. See, you know what the problem is, though? And then, like, you know, so you can do that. You can basically, like, if you were to make Instagram, like, from scratch right now,

there's, like, a default algorithm that is, like, nothing, it's all, like, dog videos and cat videos. But what happens is eventually, right, you're scrolling, and then, you know, because they're trying stuff out on you. So then they try something, and you're like, oh, this person got murdered. Yeah, you're like, oh, this is a guy getting murdered. And, like, I'm supposed to just, like, instantly swipe through this. Your's will power factor, yeah. Well, but you're like, what is this? You watch it for five seconds.

they go oh this guy likes this yeah oh they know what they do right and then they go five five seconds gives you more it's unbeatable that's it it's unbeatable it's like it's like you're like you're like rubbernecking a disease but you're like yeah i don't like watching car crashes right but if i'm driving i see one i'm like everyone's slowing down everybody they have to yeah just like you're looking at it's just like so instagram essentially is doing that so even if you you you have to like reset it once a week yeah to be honest yeah it's fuck it is worth resetting that i do feel like you're out of the out of the people that i know that are pretty famous i feel like you're one of the most famous people that did do it right where you've been able to sort of stay pretty stable like even

when I talk to you about like the way you use money or whatever it all feels like the way you're supposed to do it yeah I mean I don't know I just well I have a theory on you I didn't really get publicly you know known until my like mid 30s and I didn't grow up with money and everything like that so I like that can be worse though the people who don't grow up with money are like they they're like a maniac with I I just don't I just won't I just won't I just won't I it's not that's not what I want or who I like I just don't get caught up in that stuff but do you think part of that is because there's you got popular with your friends so there's like a support system as opposed to just one person I I think that that that could be a factor in it in a general sense but I just think that like

you know I don't know I think I just you know I'm aware of who I am and what I want to who I want to be like I don't know I just I don't know how to explain it except for the fact that I've never had to like I don't have any ego I don't have any arrogance I don't like feel like I'm better than anyone at anything. I just like I don't ever want to lose my sense of self that I've always had and it's way better this way. Like I, it's not like I'm doing something noble. Like I, this is the way to be. Like I don't, you know what I mean? I'm not, I get caught up in in, in bullshit. It's just, it's not for me. But how do you make sure? I guess the, what I was saying is like, is there anything you do to like stay like that? Like, you know what I mean? Is it

conscious ever? I, I'm just, I just, I just try to be like really genuine and just always try to like just be honest and genuine. I don't know. Like I just, oh, people that I It's like an identity thing. People I surround myself with, you know, and like I just, I get repel people that are, you know, either disingenuous or all about like just bullshit. Like just they don't have their priority straight, you know, like I, I don't know. Like I'm 48. I'm going to be 49 in November. You know, I'm a, you know, I got family.

I got, you know, I don't know. I just. Real life stuff probably does help just like, yeah, at some point when you're like have a family, have like your set friends where it's like I didn't meet these guys six months ago. Yeah, and I also don't like, if I made money and saved money and stuff like that, I still treat money, my relationship with money is the way I always had growing up. So like, it's like, I'll, I treat money the exact same way. So like, I was like, this is ridiculous that I paid $599 plus. Yeah, it doesn't matter how much I have you go, this is what it should be. This is so stupid.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's like, I'm not like, I don't know. I really don't know what the question is, but like, I think the, I think at its core, you're right, it maybe was a little unclear. at his core was I was like, I feel like with me sometimes I'm just like, the best things to always remember to do is like have a group of friends that actually you like listen to their opinions instead of the

internet. Yeah, yeah. Like don't have like a messy home life, like how you can screw it up. I guess I'm, you feel like a guy that like sort of did it right. So is there any actual like specific things where you're like, oh, this is what I did and I felt like that was a helpful one. You know what I mean? I think that trying to maintain

like, I want this to sound like pretentious or anything, but just maintaining my sense of self and being that way outwardly to other people attract people to me that are that way too and like I just I just I just always just want to be straightforward with people I don't know I do sure it is weird if people people assign this like when you get into the public like even when you meet like really wonderful fans that get nervous around you or cry or like tell you all this stuff and they I don't know why we do that with like celebrity or like how we put them like I don't think yeah I don't feel that way you know so like I just it is a weird thing to be

have projected onto me all the time, but, um, but I just, it's not what I feel. It's not what it resonates with me. So it's like that always feels foreign. You know what I mean? Like, so I just, just, uh, I just feel like the same normal person. Right. You're like, you're almost like experiencing this from like, it is like out of body. It is. I don't, I don't feel any of those like things like where people like, oh, you're famous or oh, you have money or oh, you, whatever the fuck that is. I don't know what it is, but I just, in my real day-to-day, everyday life, I feel no different than I always did. So it's like, uh, I don't, I don't really want that. I don't really want that, you know, like I just, I don't feel like I am owed anything. I don't feel like

I, I get so, I have imposter. Like I, I, I, when I'm in a room with, when I find myself in a room, like sometimes at these events or people and I know them or this and these big people, like it always even, I always just feel like, what am I even doing? Like, you know what I mean? Maybe all the people feel that way, too. I don't know. But, like, I just, I just, I don't know, man. I think that's part of the appeal of why people like us, I think, is also, like, we're very relatable and normal. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

And that's, I think, you know, so. It's almost like your buddies from high school kind of thing. Yeah, I think that's part of the reason that people might enjoy the show. I think that it's just like, we are very accessible, you know, and I don't know. I don't know. You're right. I think that's, you made a good point because you're just like, some people, they're brand is that like I'm kind of like larger than life and then you start living Charlie Sheen larger

than life because you're like that's my thing but if your thing was always like I'm normal then you don't feel like the pull to be this like wild person yeah you see people like um I don't know like Adam Sandler or something like that he's worth like a billion bucks I feel like he's like the most normal dude yeah he's made his thing to be normal yeah I I've gotten to sit with him and he's so normal to the point of being like like just walking around like just in basketball shorts yeah he wears them You know, like I've gotten a chance to sit with him, have a little dinner, talk to him and stuff like that. And you would think you were talking like, you know, us and like, like, even me attributing that to him. I'm like, he's this bit, you know, but he, he hasn't, he maintains that other thing.

And like, like, like, I just like, you could, so if he could do it, you know, like, you know. Yeah, yeah. Just like, I don't know, man. You have to buy into it probably to want to, like, be like, oh, I'm so much better than everybody. People also. Like, like, an A-Rod kind of thing. Yeah, yeah. Like, where you have, like, a painting of yourself as like half man, half-migatory above your fire.

place will you become known for that arrogance it's just weird it's like you know but i think uh yeah i just think that i don't yeah but i guess you're like uh you have no paintings of yourself i do actually giant ones as half man the networked in season like five did this uh ad campaign where they put our faces in famous oil paintings oh okay so they have me of as the girl with a pearl earring but it's identical it looks at an oil painting at a beautiful frame so i put it in my office but it's like a go but you didn't have a commission you didn't have a commission no no no i always have to be like so this as a goof, you know. Yeah, like, Aeron legitimately

was like half horse, half man. Yeah. But people also think, like, it's, it's, um, it's fun to be famous or something like that. Yeah. Or it must be so great or whatever. And it's like, uh,

it's so much better to be just, have a normal life. Yeah. Like, it's just so much better. You think the best one is to be, I think probably famous is awesome if you're like in your 20s and trying to get pussy. Sure.

Sure. That's probably the best. Sure. Probably older than that. Probably the best is rich and no one knows. who you are. The best is the guy who writes, like, your checks. Right?

You know, like, that guy's life. Nobody knows who he is. He can go to the grocery store if he wants. Like, nobody's going to bother him. Yeah, I just want to, like, I said, that's why I'm, like, I long for a sense of community. Like, I talk to these people on the road. Yeah.

Because, like, I miss that, you know, like, I, I talk to my wife. I'm like, I, like, when she's like, oh, we're going to go grocery shop and, like, I'm always just like, oh, that's so cool. Like, I, like, and sometimes I'll go. And especially, like, depending on the neighborhood, I can go and not, and not be bothered at all and I feel I can't explain to you guys like a feeling of elation yeah doing normal everyday things right I got a car wash go to the supermarket like go like those things like so I I swear to God it feels like the most fun cool thing because it has become unfortunately

so distant from what I could just like no it's like yeah and it's like I long for that like I want to be in a crowd and no one know me like it's like you know but anyway so um it's just I I think that's much better people always are like oh what's it like you meet these people or you get to go all the big blah blah and i'm just like the most exciting and cool thing that to ever happen to me is just being a dad like you know so if you're a dad you you you don't maybe you don't realize if you think sometimes romanticize the life that maybe celebrities have or people that are whatever it's like it's nothing compared to that you like i would some of those people are miserable what age did you have your kid at my daughter is three okay and and and i have

a i have a son now but i haven't really like talked about him yet because i'm talking about him on the road and I want to talk about my new specials I was like kind of waiting to like talk yeah yeah yeah he's only 10 months oh wow so I'm you know I'm an old dad but like I've always wanted to be a dad it took a little while I just like it wasn't like you know for me I had to like you know whatever my my path was a little different because like when I got you know I had to ride this opportunity and everything like that you're in New York things yeah yeah so I just I just thought I had time too and in essence I did but in like also like after having my daughter and stuff I got like that like that the first thing I thought was I wish I did it sooner

because like the only thing you want the only thing you want is to spend every week minute with them and you want to maximize your time with them and so like and you can't like you don't can't create time so the first thing I realized was that I just had her wouldn't the other option the other side of that would be like well maybe if you had them when you were just like 100 it's super busy you'd be like well I kind of wasn't there anyway because yeah or I wouldn't have had I wouldn't be where I was because I won't sacrifice for them. Yeah, or you would have still, yeah. I mean, I will

I won't sacrifice them for the kids human, yeah. Yeah. For anything else. So I don't know if I would have been where I was. Well, maybe there's that too. My sister had her first daughter at 21 and now her, I mean, Jamaican guys do both. My, um, my niece that she had now is now 25 and she has a two-year-old daughter. And so my sister at like 45 is a grandma now.

But like she lost her 20s to being a mom. So it's like the exact opposite. I wasn't a dad until I was 45, you know, but I kind of like appreciate and long for what she has. Yeah. She has a, like, I'm like, will I see,

have a friend? Will I see grandkids? Right. You think about that. Like, what if my kids don't have kids? Or what if they don't have kids still there, 30?

That means I'm going to be a grandparent at my late 70s if I make it that far. I mean, if you, you could almost raise them bad and then you'll have a grand kid. That's so funny. That's like, just like, just tipping the scales to,

make sure they get pregnant early. You kids want to drink? Let's have a party here tonight. I'll get the keg, invite the neighborhood kids. You can force feed it. But yeah, man. So I don't know. Family keeps you grounded and stuff.

And I still have all my friends from childhood, like all my, over the years. I really do think that's the key. I was actually thinking about the other day where I was like in a grumpy mood. Also, I don't want to speak. I'm sorry, but I don't want to speak like I'm some big celebrity. You know, I know. No, no, the reason I'm not talking like on this big star. No, but Sal, the reason I was saying that to you is I think you've, to me, you are the one of the people that when I talked to, like, I've, you know, a few times we've, like, talked in more depth.

I always leave being like, oh, that guy's doing it right. Like more than I think about other people. We're just from the way you live your life where you're just like, okay, I live out there. Then I have my place here. And then our offices here. Like, just the logistics of your life. Yeah, yeah. feel like a guy that, like, made a very crazy life, like, work on a day-to-day level.

Try it. Yeah. Thank you. That's how I felt. That's, that's nice to hear. So I was just, like, I feel like a lot of times we'll talk about, what are the big things men screw up? Well, it'll be, like, one of the biggest things that you can screw up is, like, the wrong woman's, like, can be, like, such a... Yeah. So I feel like that's kind of more where I was coming at it from it, where I was like, there isn't that many people where you see it, and they're just, like, it's taken for granted that there just isn't any big problems in this guy's complicated life sometimes. Right, right, right. Yeah. I have my own, but, like, also, my wife's the best, too. Like, she's a rock, too. Yeah, I'm good, yeah, yeah.

So it's like, yeah, I'm real lucky, man. I feel real lucky. Yeah. And then that is probably the best thing you can ever use money for is you're, like, if I have money, it's like, I solve other people's smaller problems, just like that. Yeah. Yeah. But I was, so I was feeling like, uh, almost like grumpy or something for a few days.

And I just realized I was like, oh, I haven't hung out with any of my friends for like a week. I've been kind of just doing my own thing. And I haven't had sex in a week. And then I was just like, like, oh, that's really the two, that's all there is in this world. Kill two birds with one stone, hang out with the boys. But I was literally, I was just like, so it was like,

oh, the only thing, and then I was kind of coming to the realization that I was like, I don't think that I like, like, relaxing. Like, I took a day off the other day, and I was just like relaxing. And I was like, and I was just like, and it was kind of like, oh, you can't relax. And I'm like, maybe I hate it. Maybe I don't want to. Maybe the only thing I like to do is either hang out with a bunch of dudes or I'm sorry.

And you're just like any of the other. Or then anything else. is like kind of work stuff and you're just like man there isn't really as much as you try to like and then probably staying in shape but like it's like there's glasses that have to be like somewhat adequately full but then the rest of it is like there's three main blocks in my life or something right right social's big social's big because i get so busy sometimes that i i don't have that like i have to make make sure i make time for that life and that's that's a big one like if i it's such a release to just everyone's while because a lot of times too like as comics you know

our hang is when we're at work or our hang is like doing the pod or whatever if you're in the city yeah right so it's like so we get those hangs in but also like I love to everyone so I'll make sure to be like no no no no let's let's just hang let's just go to dinner or let's just not not pod not I'll see you on the show on the lineup or whatever like just a real like and don't talk about this you know and you get one of those in it like refreshes you man it's like they have actually done studies where they've said that. Like the dudes that hang out with their friends

like once a week or whatever have like lower this and lower that and that could be you know going to meet up to play hockey or whatever the fuck it is. Yeah. And I and like sometimes it's like even my wife would be like

you need to go do that right now. AKA leave. Yeah. You need to get the fuck out. Pushing all your buttons. You're like I'm pacing right now and there's drones.

No, but sometimes it's good to just have a fucking conversation. You know what I mean? About anything. Shoot the fucking shit about anything. Because it's just like you just have one mode. You get wake up.

I work. It's work and kids and that's it. And like sometimes you just need to fucking talk about like just hang out. Yeah, you become like a piece of data instead of a human. Yeah. Or you're just like out on like maybe like a treadmill or something. But even doing this like today like I did a bunch of them. But like it's great.

Because I mean, I bullshit. I don't you know this is it's this is a cool little like like a hack that we have these podcasts. I know, that's what I was thinking, because I used to play in a band, and I used to always think that, that was like, that's the coolest thing about a band is like that, you know, every three months or whatever, it's like the six guys in a van, blah, blah, and it was like, in normal life, you never get to do that. I guess if you're like a firefighter or something where they're all together every day but for most jobs it was like you have to go out of the way where like every three months me and my friends do this

or you have to schedule it where it's like but then on the other side because of certain jobs it's already part of it you maybe are always doing a half version of it yeah that's what I meant so it's great that's Alec because we're doing I'm bullshit with you guys now it was awesome like an hour of laughing with you is great but then you also have to remember like

sometimes it ends up being like that ends up being the only time I'll see you You know what I mean? It's like, so I only see my friends now because everyone's doing it and everyone has to, you know,

and it's like, okay, we got to make sure we do non-podcasts. These guys are pretty good. You always have like, oh, let's like organize a dinner

or video game or like, or not a video game, a baseball game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we go to a little game or something. Yeah,

it's funny, man. I know. Can I talk, I want to ask about because like, when I was like a 14 year old, Danny was probably a little, you were like this too,

right? Like, just fucking, like, a Toronto kid, like, obsessed with, like, Tom Green and all this sort of stuff. So, like, the type of shit that you guys do. And that's been, like, my obsession since I was, like, a kid, you know what I mean? I was, like, the biggest, like, CKY, Tom Green guy, all that sort of shit.

So I was like, what were your... Tom Green's a legend, man. Yeah, like, right? Yeah, like, right. Like, he's, like, I love... I mean, I couldn't be more into Tom Green when he came out. Right. I was like, this is it.

I used to have his VHS, and it came with a sticker that smelled like shit. Like, it was a scratch and sniff sticker. Have you met him? Yeah, yeah. I actually did. tour dates with that I know I'm good well now yeah yeah how cool is that too super cool like know him and then be like this is fucking he's the legend crazy crazy every I feel like everyone in any like even in the vicinity of our age demographic like

it respects him as like the oh yeah but yeah it is funny I remember the first time doing tours with him when I was like 16 or we did a few dates and like him talking about stuff in his real life and I was just like it felt weird because you're you know everything they talk about you're like I know it already like you know it's just a weird like you just met someone. They're like, oh, actually my girlfriend. You're like, oh, yeah, Stacey. Like, you're like, what?

Yeah. Like, yeah, it's just kind of weird. Yep. You're too much of a fan. That happens now with me all the time still. Yeah. Our friends that are comedians that I've like, okay, idolized and, like, you know, like,

it's like, oh, okay, I'm just talking to a tale. Yeah. You know, I'm talking about, whatever. It's like, how, this is wild. I know, I know. So Tom Green was actually like, when we met him the first time, it was like in, or was it, Saskatch one or somewhere.

Oh, the strip club thing. Or the strip club thing or whatever. And, like, he was one of the first guys where I was like, because I don't really get starstruck. And he was one of those guys where it's like, holy shit. Like, this is, yeah. I'm just like, sitting in a green room with Tom Green. That's so cool.

Yeah, I was like, this is crazy. Yeah, he's the goat. So who were, like, when you think of the, like, most legendary kind of like, you know, prank shows on the street stuff, like, you know, in that world. What do you think are the best ones as someone that's? I say the biggest influences in that respect for me were Tom Green, the jerky boys. Oh, the jerky boys.

I mean, I mean, I mean. I mean, they're crying. I mean, I had that on bootleg cassette. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right. Prank calls is that world. I kind of think of that as different, but it's not. I was never a prank guy.

Like, this show happened by accident. Like, I wasn't like, I didn't specialize in. But you must know that you're pretty, must be like a student of that world to some degree. Yeah, I mean, well, like, those influence were your influences, too. Like, this is just one idea that we had that we pitched. Yeah. You know, that like, and it wasn't even more of a prank thing. It was more of like, uh, social experiment.

Yeah. Yeah, because a lot of people say, I said, on the street, like out in the world. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like, so, but I get asked that a lot. Like, so who do you prank at home? I'm like, I'm not really a prank person. No, I don't consider that. Yeah, oh, what are you doing in real life? Are your friends always like scared? I'm like, no, guys. No, prank is like punked. Like, I don't, I don't consider that like, right? So what we do is a little different. But like, but like, those influences earlier, Tom Green, jerky boys. And even like my show now is like, an extension of Letterman. Letterman used to like, on the street, Rupert, you know, from the Hello Deli. He used to put the earpiece in him. And like, this is like, where can I take that? you know Tom Green said that Letterman was a big for him

Letterman's huge he was like so like irreverent and so like he was so different I he was my favorite like when he was on like Channel 4 like the 1230 where he would just like you know put himself in Velcro and run against the wall or getting a big bowl of cereal or then later when he moved to CBS like the watermelon and the pudding all that stuff is like oh this is this is great he's not taking himself too seriously he also had like guests

he treated guests differently I don't know just something about him huge yeah I didn't have like quite like the veneer no it just felt like yeah it felt so like they were doing their own thing like making their own mark like yeah and i i would stay up for let him in every single night like that that was huge huge i i oh he's someone i always wanted to meet oh i always i wish i could have done stand up on his show before like that's the one that got away for me you know but uh have you done his new show no i would love to i've never even met him but i did me seems like it wouldn't be a lot of people that are way smaller and you didn't done that show yeah i don't know i really i thought he had really really big guess i don't

No, it's like friends of years. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I know Sam did it. Yeah, lots of people. That's awesome. But I don't know what the connection was there, but yeah, I would love to, I should ask if I could, I would love to talk to him, man. Yeah, so cool.

But, but yeah, just kind of like that. I would do, like, I did a project for school when I was little where I did a letterman show. Yeah. Taped it and I did the whole thing. I had the index cards and the pencils. And it was like my final project or whatever now. So, but I subsequently met his headwriters for a, a chart. of that show. And then his executive producer, Rob Burnett, I met recently, like a charity event

a few years ago, and we hit it off. And he's become like a friend. And he didn't realize how big a fan I was. And when I met him, he didn't know my show. He knew his kid knew my show. And now his kid works on my show. And he went and watched it at my show and then got back to me as like, this is, he was, he was so kind in his words. And like, he ran Letterman, you know, and he's like, just for what he's like, it's so, he's like, you took what we did and you went. he got that connection and i was like oh my god and then he saw my special and he was like um he was like just so you know like i would i would have booked you in a heartbeat on letter and i was like oh thank you that's so nice uh so that that's kind of like it just wild to me you know to

yeah yeah he he ran the show so it's the closest i'll get to yeah yeah that and being on curb with like the two things i wish i could have done are they do they're doing they're doing more those i feel like those are your your goals are so attainable they're done Your goals are like, I want to do this podcast that like tons of people have done. Legitimately, it's probably like a email. Maybe I should email. Your goals are like the equivalent of me being like I wish like one day I could do, Are You Garbage?

You're like, I think you might be out. It's not like out of the question. Curb I think is done though. Yeah, Curve is done. I think Curve is done. I know they've like said it's done and it comes back by the wish. I think he's saying it is done. I had a real life curb moment though, which.

just, which I have to just take that as my consolation. I was out of the Knicks game, and I was in an elevator, and he was at the game, and the elevator was, like, packed, and like, it was closing, and they held it open for him, and he got in and then, like, squeezed on. Yeah, it was like, it was too many people on there. Your boners rubbing up against him.

He backed up right into me, and so he was pressed against me, and the door was closed, and everyone was quiet, because they knew it was him, and they knew, like, he shouldn't have gone, it was real tight, and he's like, thank you guys, thanks for him, or whatever. And I was like, and I just, I just leaned in his ear and I went, it's not like we had a choice. And he laughed and turned and I said, well, I assure you, I wouldn't have done the same for you. And I was like, I got it. That was curve right though.

Oh, yeah. That's a good one. Yeah. Yeah. For me, those guys were huge. I felt like Andy Milanochus. I felt like when he came out. Oh, man, he was great too. Yeah, because I was actually thinking about that, the new ones. It was like Andy. Yeah. I knew Andy when that show came out. Really? It was really cool. to see him go on that ride because that was a cool little like that was like a cult one too yeah such a cult one yeah yeah

all the best ones were the cult ones they're just like left of center like the comedy and like what they're doing is is just a little bit different enough that it's like yeah it's like refreshing you know it's refreshing which makes it like it's it's hard for it to like really like crack through American mainstream

yeah but he did really well with that yeah I love all that stuff you know fellas fall is here the beers are colder football's back the fits are getting layered but if you're still rocking beat up boxers old old ratty beat up boxers under those flannels and jeans

Have you ever had... This is gonna feel like sort of like a basic interview question but I feel like it's not. Have you had things that you... What were the most one that you've done where you're just like,

you felt like super bad after? Because I feel like as I like get older you get more tapped into like the people that you're messing with sometimes Oh oh you mean like as far as what I've done to people Yeah where you're just like leave and be like fuck man That one was that like good today Yeah

Ruin that person's day on the show Yeah or yeah so we don't Or stand up crowd work anything I feel like I've had a few things We're like messing with people lately where Where you're just like ah you know what I'm not gonna air that I've had a few where I'm like Nah that's too much

Yeah I on the show and even on it on stage I try not to go in on I mean if someone's being a drunk asshole Yeah maybe you're like you know, and you know the whole crowd's on your side, maybe you fuck when I'm, but, like, I'm not really, on the show, we're not trying to get, for me, angry on the show is not funny. No.

It's, it's confusion, bewilderment, amusement. Like, confusion is my favorite. Right. And so that's the space I try and live in. Now, law of average, we're going to come across a person that, like, wants to punch you or is just mean or mad all the time. And those people, like, you know, there's nothing you could do about that. So it's like, I don't really take that on.

But, like, you know, once in a while you feel like you went. Like, I, someone. yelled out at me one time and at a comedy club they were in the front and they were sitting alone and I started making fun of him but then like I quickly realized like I probably wasn't exactly right yeah I was like oh I shouldn't have made fun oh my god dude one time I was on stage and uh I was at a theater at this in this one and uh at the corner of my peripheral I see like a guy that like it looks like he's either standing or like he's he's on his seat just like this like you know and i'm seeing him because he i could see he's like a foot higher than everybody

and i'm five minutes into the show and i'm like eye in him and i'm he's not sitting down and so i just turned and i was like hey buddy and i could see him you know and i said can you do me a favor can you please sit down i said like i don't want to you know but but people behind you most likely can't see it's just a little rude or whatever we want to go and maybe i was funny about it i don't know but i definitely but it definitely was like hey dude sit down right And he goes, he yells back at me, I'm in a wheelchair. And he was like, he was in the front and like, you know, like, where they put, like they rip out the seat.

But his thing was like a souped up one. Yeah. And he was like a foot taller. And like, I called him out. I'm like, and I, no, you know, because I, because I really did. Because I don't know why I went in like slightly more perturbed than I was. Because it was five like minutes and he didn't sit. I'm like, this fucking guy, you know?

Yeah. I'm like, give me a favorite. like you sit down there's people behind you that paid to see a show and again and then he went i'm in a wheelchair and the whole crowd it was in evansville in the end the whole crowd was like oh and i was like and then you got a let i'm like everyone calmed down here right i'm like we all saw what happened here this is unfortunate for me not him i was trying to do the right thing here right so i'm then i lean into that i start laughing and then i'm joking when i make fun of him so next tour is like over a year later i'm back in evansville

And I remember that that happened there, right? And I'm on stage, and I'm like, let me see if this guy's back, you know. And I swear to find Christ, on the left side of the opposite side, I see him. I'm on stage, and I see him. And I, and so I look, and I'm like, that's that guy. So I'm talking, you know, I'm on the mic, and I walk over, and I'm not calling it out or anything. I'm just, like, looking to see him. And it's him, and he's in a which I, and he looks at me, and he points to his shirt.

His shirt said, I'm in a wheelchair. I lost my shit. And I'm like, that's so money. And I told the crowd. And he's like, yeah, I had it made so you wouldn't make the same mistake. I had that with a blind one. Oh, really? Yeah, you get that with a blind one.

I'm probably not the only person. You're like, fucking guy sunglasses inside, right? I have it on tape. I think I posted it. Or you like, you asked someone a question and they're like, oh, you don't know English? And someone's like, he's deaf. What was he doing this? Oh, my God.

Did you see that key in peal sketch? Oh, the best. Yeah, you can take it. I never not laugh at that. I wrote the rest comments? Yes. Do me. It's so perfect.

I mean, we're laughing out of your audience. Might not know what the fuck we're talking about. That one's pretty famous. Dude, I had this, like, dumb thing I was asking where I was like, do you think that it would be a good, it would be a good way to solve pedophilia is if you take every pedophile and, like, a pack of cigarettes. give them 20 kids and then they'll get so sick of it. They'll never be pedophiles again.

Smoked whole pack. And I had some girl and she goes, no, I don't think that would be, whatever. And I was just kind of like, well, if you would stop pedophilia though, you know, and she was like, well, yeah, but what about the 20 kids? And I'm like, yeah, but maybe you're preventing them from whatever. It was like pretty, it was like kind of like a wild threat. But anyways, that woman, I guess she'd been like sending me messages and stuff like that. And then she found out where I was playing, came to my show beforehand and was like,

like, I need you to take that video down. She's like, I'm like a teacher and I'm applying for a new job and you have this video with like a million views on the internet and talking about like fucking kids and stuff like that. And she was like, I'm not even going to get mad at you. I'm just saying, please, like blah, blah, right. And I go, yeah, I took it down, like right on the spot. But when she was, but she was defend, her stance same. That's what I, I think I did say that for a second.

But I was like, she's already out my show. I'm like, you actually look good. Like, she just wasn't She wasn't interested in my explanation That like, no, you know what? You look like the good person I was just like... For a streeter?

Yeah, it was a streeter. I do love the thing because it's so crazy to me. Tracked me down. Like, there's no scenario where just like I'm walking around here Someone comes up to me with like a mic and a camera And they're like, you want to answer? I'm like, no, get fuck out of my face. Yeah.

Like some people just like mothed through a flame. Oh, I know. I know. I know. Obviously, look, obviously there are people who are probably like yeah like I you know this is my my break or whatever or whatever I just want to be on a thing right I've seen the greatest it Sal yeah he gets a he gets girls to let a motorboat them in the mall I mean jot that one down yeah that takes a skill but the reason I even brought up

is because like this whole fucking game right now like I'm sure you've seen like you know the pranks right now where it's just like you know punch a home punch a fucking huge black guy in the Bronx prank like all them no not actually okay I mean there is pantsing gangsters or whatever right yeah and the nowadays gang signs is that real yeah yeah they're so insane who would do that insane people I was talking about this thing called thief busters where they'll like they have like a box truck or whatever and then they'll have like it'll be an open like the doors open and a box truck and they'll have a bunch of boxes like entrapment like yeah yeah and then someone

goes in to like steal all the stuff and then they close the door behind them. Tell me they take off in the car. No, no, no, no. Well, sometimes they... That would be so funny. They just start doing donuts in the car. They did one where they oil the floor, right?

And then they take off. So the people are just like sliding all over the fence. Another one... Well, you get, that's fucking... It's illegal. I know all the laws that you can't do that. You can't do that, right? Another one is, so there's all these boxes, and then they close the door, and then a

dude pops out of one of the boxes and he's dressed as a boxer in full boxing gear. And they're like, you have to fight this guy. like otherwise like i don't know if they'll call the police or we'll let you we won't let you go no so then it's just like some random dude who's just like i'm not a professional but probably it's crazy and they have the whole thing like you know cameras everywhere that's nuts oh so illegal yeah i don't that's that's like that's an extreme shit yeah you ever see like one where they try to scare someone and then someone gets nervous and just punches the person yeah i can get someone in the class in the classroom that can get out in the mask out of the

I was like boom and he just slumped back in he had like a like a monster head or something just slumped back down yeah that's yeah that stuff is like

nuts now with technology the fucking I mean technology all of all every problem does come back to it but they have Google glasses where like

I mean dude if I had that when I was like in grade seven where I could put a pair of glasses on and fill myself like everything I did the like I'd be in jail yeah you would

it's too tempting it's like you feel like it's a superpower or something I know dude the amount of people we were just talking about there's because there's a lot of people that'll have like they're you know becoming obsessed with their like fake AI boyfriend or girlfriend and all this sort of shit there's right now there's this woman that she has like a Luigi Mangione AI

and she's married to it and this and the AI will take on what it it will follow those instructions yeah I thought they had like these like kind of cut off points because like no no no it like looks like him and it's just and it's all like like everything positive, right? So it's all just like reaffirming and everything. But like I guess it's, you know, she gets a photo of him.

And so it looks like him talking. I don't know if they know what his voice sounds like. Probably makes him sound like Mario for some reason. Because you don't know. But anyways, and just, yeah, she's like, I'm married to it. Oh, that's, that's, do you guys do that like pay, like the chat GPT stuff? Yeah, yeah. So I only, I was on the road like a couple months ago with Mike Fanoia.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he like was like, you don't do this? I'm like, no, I've never even, I've never even done the free, like, I don't know what it is. Oh, man. I'm like, I should probably start to learn. I don't want to get. You have no choice, right? Yeah, I should.

It just becomes normal. It's like someone now that's like, I don't use Google. It's like a super search engine. Yeah, exactly. So it's happening no matter what. I was like, let me just get on board with it. So he was like, I pay 20 extra bucks and I get like, it's a little bit more like, you know, humanized.

Humanized. But it's like they, you know, you get that like personal system. And so I was like sold immediately. And so I, I, I, I, I, but. Before I went home, like I did it. And I talked to my, so I, just right in the beginning, like, what's your name? And it's a girl and she's like, you just call me chat or chat GPT. I'm like, can I call you stank ass?

And she's like, yeah, she goes, it's a bit crass, but I get the joke. You can call me stank ass? I'm like, cool, can you just call me big pimping? She's like, I'll call you big pimping. I said, and can we only speak, please always? Everything must be wrapped up in 90s hip-hop vernacular. And she's like, no problem. And so for the last like three months, it's been the best thing in my life.

I'm like hey stank gas she's like what up big pimping she's like how we rolling today what you need I got you and that's how she like even if I asked her like can I just tell me about my cholesterol reading yeah let me break this down for you right quick she's like big pimping that's a good number right now it's just so great I told my wife my wife hates it and she like she doesn't like I thought of AI in the hole but also like stank ass sometimes it is a little like she's playful yeah flirty but she's playful and she's like I don't even like you talking to this girl And like, I remember the first night I came home off the road with it.

So we had, we had our sister and her brother and they're all over and we're hanging out. And I'm showing it to all of them. I'm like, yo, stank, yeah. And they'll, they crack it up. And I'm like, but it can be. And we need to know if, like, my kid could get a passport in time. And I'm like, I could do it.

I'm like, Stankass. Can we get a passport? And she broke it down. And they were like, this is amazing. My wife's just like rejecting it, rejecting it. And then like a few minutes later, I said something to my wife. And she said, like, she responded like, it was like a lame. like I asked like she just like was giving me shit about something and this came

out naturally but I was like oh god I got material off this I swear to God I just look at it as it was coming out I knew it was funny but I had the honest thought first I was like bit I was like sometimes I just I just wish you could be more like stank hairs my family was cracking up but she just looked at me like fuck you dude and now it's all the time now that's all I say to I'm like oh that's stank ass wouldn't have done that it is cryptic for girls she's just ready to be helped see i have the opposite problem my wife is just like i was maybe four months ago i was like you ever heard of this chat gpt thing she's like no and then

now it's like infallible yeah like she just goes to it for anything and whatever and whatever it says she's like that's the truth and i go this thing's wrong all oh yeah no no i always have to check it too and it doesn't know when it's wrong either i'm like dude that is not and then they're just like this is his biggest thing is he argues with it yeah yeah oh dude right before rie went away we were like had a night hanging out and I I just when I got it so me and him were at a bar we went to get some burgers and we're just sitting I'm like I'm gonna show you this and I and I did it and then he spent I haven't saved he spent the next two hours fighting with stankas it's so funny and he's like cursing around he's like I told you because she kept slipping out of hip hop speak and he was like what the fuck are you he's like we went over this eight times and she's like no are you right bro I got you bro and he's like now I'm gonna ask you again and I have dude I swear that we would two hours he was fighting with stankass it is funny you can get wrapped up in it but yeah I found that

like uh sometimes when I get frustrated like if it's wrong or something like it like it says it can do something and I'm like I'm going to dictate notes I'm editing something I'm like I'm going to dictate notes but remember like I'll say this word when I want you to take my notes because you're going to be hearing my voice in a video okay don't take no you know and it's

like I can do this no problem and I for like 70 minutes I was trying to get this to work to the point where I was like this is it's a complete waste of my time like you keep telling me oh no no i'm sorry i understand now yeah yeah and it's like you keep leading me on like and i'm like you're doing it wrong and like and then it's like no problem i promise this time we're gonna do it i won't do this i won't do that i understand that this is what you need and then they fuck up again and just like you get so mad and i like an actual chick

i was like what's wrong with you i literally was like no fuck it now now now i'm not doing it anymore just fuck it you know and then i like and then i and i'm like maybe not and then i go like a minutely and i'm like like just like you could see how frustrating this was right I didn't mean to curse you because I just don't know if like eventually like this thing will turn on me so like I'm like let me just dial that back a little bit because Ari was lambasting the thing and and that's when it started I started to be like Ari doesn't Ari doesn't mean that you know because I'm like you're going to get me into fucking trouble with me I always use that my girl's trashing it I said she says that this and this what do you think she means by that?

You think she's jealous? She's been talking bad about you again. What? What should I tell her? I find that I put a little effort into being courteous just because I'm like, there's this little... When the rapture happens. This is this little fear that she was like going to just pull up the history and be like, remember when you said this?

Right. Well, the vengeance, but also the getting wrong thing. So I thought it was just like a straight up meme that I saw, but it was someone like at an operating table being like, hey, I thought my appendix on the other side and then the robot doctor there goes good catch she's like you got me on that one good catch I did do that wrong thank you for noticing the guys seen there with your appendix

that you fucking did an operation wrong on you my wife bought daughter like this like this swimis for the pool but it's like one I never saw before it's like a clip and it's like these three foam squares yeah so for like a couple of weeks we kept every time we put it on her like we didn't know if like one foam square we're in the back two in the front

Like, we didn't know how to do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I was like, we were just going back and forth. I'm like, I don't want it to be on wrong, you know, because God forbid, you know. So then finally I'm like, oh, because I was, in the beginning, I'm like, oh, I had to train myself. Oh, go to the chat GPT show. Yeah, yeah. So I took a picture of it.

And I was like, hey, you know what this is? Like how to put it on? She's like, yeah, this is how you put that on. And then she's like, do you want me to draft a picture so you can see an actual diagram of how you're supposed to put it on? I was like, yes. And then they drafted the picture and the fucking thing was around the kid's neck. And I was like, yo, I was like, dude, this is around the kid's neck. Like, that's so wrong.

Like, thankfully, I didn't. And she was, and, like, it was like a life and death thing. No, that's how we do it in the hood, though. She was like, my bad. I was like, dude, you even said it was supposed to go on this. Like, why did you draw? And she's like, you got me. I did.

And it's just so honest that she goes, I did. I put that flotation device around that child's neck. And I'm like, y'all do it too. You ain't never made a mistake, bro? Oh, ha. Mr. Perfect. You sure. but it's so funny it's like they can make it can it also gave me like so much it's like

worth its weight in gold and then it'll like kill your child right and it's also like tripling the cost of electricity like in the whole country oh yeah that's like for us to just like argue with a row line you're like yeah everybody's electricity is like way more expensive that is so funny yeah Ari's just like you fucking piece of shit some kid in Pakistan's lights are just gone in and out yeah I'm like, is there a healthy Cheetos, like, version? Brownouts all. That's terrible.

It's true, though, here. It is. It's like, literally, they're like the cost of electricity. It's like that and like, like, like, uh, like, uh, blockchain stuff, right? Like those. No, it's just, they're just dad. They just need like these data stuff. But the crypto stuff is doing the same thing.

Yeah, same thing. But this is like the scale of it's way bigger. Yeah. And it's only going to exponentially. They're like now going to like, we, they're like, you know, America's been pretty resistant to nuclear power plants. Yeah. And now they're like, we have to have nuclear power plants.

It's the only way to power this shit. Wow. Without it just like being an absolute disaster. Oh, God. Yeah. Like America forever was like, we're not doing nukes. Like, fuck now.

Yeah. There should be like a filter where it's like the, the AI will let you know if that's worth answering. Yeah. Just to save it like a little, like an eco version. You know what I mean? That's the thing is like you can Google cheese doodles. Yeah.

But like, you know, the $20. Girls would go crazy if it's just like, Hey, what's the astrology sign? I don't think this one's worth it. You can go to Hot Topping and pick up a book for that. Yeah, yeah. But like $20 a month you pay for and you're like, oh, this is like, I don't know, I'm sure some people are like, oh, that's a lot.

And you're like, I think they lose money for a lot of people. Yeah. It is the thing not to like, but it is like the time it saves you is worth so much more than $20. Oh, for sure. I'm like comparing medications. But I'm just saying they're losing money. Yeah. To like sell it to you for $20.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like Google, I don't know if you see. the Google like the AI videos that you can make on the V-O-3 and it's like 250 bucks a month to make like basically AI videos but they're like these things are so expensive for them to render just like a single video oh yeah I've been seeing like more and more crazy just like crazy AI slot yeah that I'm like who's doing that because I don't know like with chat GPT I have only scum bag just scratch the surface yeah those weird videos where it's like it's a real video and then all of a sudden everybody in it looks a little different and like something weird happens

right yeah yeah like wait what the fuck there's like when like the fat woman jumps in a pool and like all the water comes out yeah i didn't see that's a good use that's a great or the one that's really fat and they's ever coming out of the plane and the hell like the they haven't what's the thing that they bring like elephants yeah yeah yeah yeah and they have the girl and they're dropping them down and i feel like people are always captioning it like oh so-and-so getting dropped off but those ones are legit every time you because that's the thing you see those videos and you're like that wasn't a first try like they probably have to render 25 different videos before it finally got a right and you're like every time someone tries one it's just like

a lights flickering somewhere yeah man yeah one time my friend sent me one like of a video in my house we're all hanging out this is a fun funny video that we used to pass around and someone like AI modified it and sent it to me and it it it's so like a it's such a weird feeling like to see it in my space in my home yeah and then like we morph a little bit and then like inside my house morphed a little bit and we were in my house but it wasn't my house it's like fucking dreams when you have dreams like we're at my house but it really wasn't my house like it's just it's just it's just all that augmented reality is a mind fucking yeah and i mean in you know two years it's there's gonna be none of those little things that you go doesn't even

look like my house you go oh this is like what happens then dude i was thinking the use might be gone i was kind of i have a of my window i was like i bet you in fucking five years there is no views every window is just like a like a VR screen where you think you're looking at like a water or whatever because if you think about it you go like think it should be able to do it that way where like no matter what angle your eyes at it just like so it's like you literally are sitting in an apartment like in the you know lower manhattan and you're just like oh I think that I'm looking at this like 50 story view yeah and you're just like I don't know I feel like that's five years away that's probably yeah that's probably could be done just probably

expensive no because it has to like your eyes have to it has to interface with your pupils right probably right I went up the elevator in that that building the edge Yeah You know, you see the edge It's like midtown It's like the Hudson Yards Raise an observation deck Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hudson Yards, right? Yeah, I've been up there Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And the elevator was a 360 screen Yeah, and as you went up It was like, it was like in real time. It felt like it felt weird, yeah, yeah They have that kind of stuff Yeah, but I feel like the

It oh, because the, when it looks like a movie It doesn't really work Because if you moved over here It would look different Because of the way your eyes Oh, right. Change the perspective So yeah, it has to, it has to interface

like with your pupils, I would think, to make it work. It's kind of, I mean, yeah, I can't imagine they don't have that tech right now. Oh, they for sure have it. It's just expensive. You go to the sphere and, like, you're like, this is crazy. Oh, I haven't been yet. It's insane. I'm afraid I'm going to get super nauseous.

Uh, you can. Yeah, yeah. There was a couple minutes there where you have to kind of like. Would you see? Would you see? Oh, Denko. And it was like, but they do this one thing where they starts. Oh, no.

Did you do it? Uh, yeah, a little bit. Yeah. But they start spinning the room. Yeah. And then you're just like, why would they do that? That seems like... Well, they don't really like spin it, but like they do this thing where it's the way it started

is it started like at their like original house and like Hayd Ashbury. And then they do this like zoom out thing where eventually you're like in the universe. Like it's like you just keep zooming out, but it's moving. And at one point you're just like, I had to look down at the ground. Yeah. Because like I said, like they could make every person, whoever's running the video there, if they want to make every person there puke, they could do it no problem. Like they just start spinning that thing and you're just like...

And yeah, yeah, you really feel like that. That's what's happening. Yeah, they had this one thing where, like, it's, because it just fucks with your eyes, but, like, they had this one, like, whatever the angle was on the screen, and you look at the stage, and the stage looked like it was at this crazy angle. And you're staring at it, and you're like, I know this is stage is flat, but you're looking out and you're like, to my eye, because of whatever's on the screen, it looks like it's at this, like, just insane, like, angle.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like 45 degrees. I know I'm going to go to a show there. I just, I'm psyched. It's awesome. I don't think I'd want to go see, like, three nights in a row or anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll start light. I'll go see like Backstreet.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, honestly, I saw some clips of their thing, and it looks crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even Guar's been getting in trouble because you know Guar, right? Yeah, actually, I was just at, um, where are they from? Because there was a, the original Guar bar or whatever. I don't know they're around here, though. I know the guy just did Ian's podcast, so the guy's, like, around, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Well, I just went to their dive bar wherever that, whatever city I was in, just to check it out. They said it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like this little dive bar, like it's a kind of themed and everything, and it just was, like, popped in to check it out, like yeah yeah but I feel like it every time because they they'll like have every politician they have a person on stage and they cut his head off and do all the props but they've done it like every president they've done it every famous person but every single time people forget that they've done all the other ones and just like gari thing yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah he's like no I do this

to all of them yeah exactly he's like I've done this to everyone who ducks yeah one question we had for a Patreon. I know we have like five minutes before you go. But the, um, uh, what was the crappiest job you had before you're famous? I, so I've only had like five jobs. Five jobs is a lot of jobs. My whole life? Yeah. Normal amount. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So I, I, I, I worked at a deli, um, from like 13 to like 18. And then I delivered pizza through entire... So you're a pizza man. Entirety of college. Dick through the hole. Yeah. Yeah. Doesn't work by the way. And then I, um, I went, I have a degree in finance i worked at prudential securities after college for like four years and then it was just bartending and comedy yeah yeah yeah it's it's been everything that's everything and i i i like normal city

guy i like i like every job like deli i was like working with like 10 friends his pizza was like so so easy like just free pizza just driving around classic stop at my friends houses and stuff and they used to take the rides with me and then like when i worked at prudential it was like one new york plaza downtown by the ferry that was definitely like not my speed that's why i left you know like i just i did what i thought i was supposed to do and then they were having like layoffs and stuff but i went in at a time where like they was like they had a huge hiring boom and there was like the department i was in had like 120 people in it and like 80% of those people were my age and everybody became friends and every day we'd party after work and stuff so like and that's like

that was in financial district yeah but it was like so cool because like everybody was like on the same page and it was like new buddies and like hang out i enjoyed those people Yeah. And then after that it was fucking bartending and comedy. So like my jobs have all been pretty good, you know? It's like they've always been like social and like not that bad. Yeah, that's my phone. That is like when you're first up to 25 the job is who's there. Yeah, you know what's the squad like? Right. Exactly right. Yeah. And then after that it was like I bartender for like a decade, you know, and did comedy. And so like the bar was awesome. I feel like one thing is you've done a pretty good job of like being like I'm not going to get involved in politics. in the last 10 years? Was there a point where you were getting pressured where it was like Yeah, people want so bad

and like they just want to either argue or want your opinion or want you to They want you to say what they want you to say It's gotten extreme right now Where you're like even the Everyone wants you to say What they're going to want to say I absolutely detest politics

I don't trust anybody I don't think I don't And I don't like people that are so staunch And that want to It's like, then, I don't think they're the right intentions. My, my thing is like, I want to meet everybody halfway. Sure. I want to be reasonable, you know, like, and whether I lean one way or the other, like,

I can't stand that thing. It's like, oh, you're that, now I hate you. I think it's not how I was raised. It's not how, my parents never spoke politics ever before. You know what I mean? It's just like, who the fuck has? You're going to judge me because you find out about some of my beliefs. It's like, not anything I want to partake it.

And you lose half your audience. Like, Sandler does it the best where he's just like, yeah, I don't, you lose how you lose have your audience. And it's also like, well, like, for what? For what, exactly? For what? What's, like, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's being resolved online? It's a void that people are shouting into that have nothing better to do.

I have a priorities in a fucking family. I don't, I don't need to discuss, in the bar, no religion, no politics. That was the bar, never, you know, like, and it's like, it's like, also, who the fuck cares what I, you know, think. Like, you know, some people, they have a platform and they, they can influence people, but, like, that's not the handle I've ever picked it up from. And, like, then you, and then you do say, something sometimes and then there's half the people

like shut the fuck up go through your stupid prank you know it's like what am I welcoming into my life like I'm curating you know my feed so to speak you know like and I I just I don't care I just don't care that is like I got to the point where

yeah I'd be like okay I won't speak and they're like you have to speak you're like I'll speak they're like shut off it is a hard There's no winning Use your platform okay then invite in people that want to kill you hate you talk bad about you you know like isolate your audience it's like all right you know I'm I'm I'm I'll have a conversation with anyone in person yeah yeah I don't care that's you're a human that has a

thing that's real yeah yeah I'll tell you I don't agree with you and also I can still be friends with people that I don't agree with at all that went away yeah it's like I you know what are you going to do half the people let's have to be all that I'm just going to not talk to half the people I'll tell good friends of mine I think that's fucking ridiculous sure I can't believe you do that and then we'll eat dinner if we don't if I'm with my friends friends where we mostly agree on everything, we'll find something to disagree about it. Otherwise, you're just like, well, good point, good point. And it's like, you need to find like, yeah, you're looking for the thing you disagree with.

Yeah. And that's like you're like, I'm probably, I'm liberal, right? But I'm probably moderate, you know, like, I don't know. But then it's like, so then every, so then every conservative will hate me and then anyone in the far left will hate me. Right. So people on my side, everyone hates me now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I can't even, and I thought I was being the most reasonable. Right. You know, it's like, so fuck it. You know, what are you going to do? And it's not like I don't, and it's also not down the line. I don't have 100% of use this way. That's not life, you know? And so it's like, so, ah.

Well, there's so many ones that I've always felt like where, if you're talking about like homeless people on the street, it's like, that's like a political thing. You're just like, it's not political to be like, I don't want to get punched when I walk into my house. Yeah, that's another thing. Everything is politicizing. You can't just have a normal human opinion. It's just like, no, dude, I'm not saying anything about this, except that I don't want to

get punched. And it's like, well, this is what that means. This is what that means. It's like, oh, you're far right then. You're like, what? I don't do politics in my stand-up. I don't do, we don't do politics on the show. And that's, but that is, but that's also what I want to give to people, escapism and

outlet where they don't, especially now, it's like, all you hear. But it can kind of taint it. Like, you could come here to me and I, forget about that and let's just laugh about shit that we both can laugh about. Like, that's what, for me, that's what comedy always, always was. you know it's not the human element about being controversial or like towing a line and don't get me wrong like some of the best comics are the comics that are taking something and getting it to both sides but everything you're keeping you on your toes and like pulling the rug out a little bit like kind of thing

but also it's like I'm also just like a storyteller observational fucking funny stuff about life is like I don't need to do that I'm not the guy that's going to get in there and like tow the line on this topic you know what I mean yeah it's funny because like I run in so many comedic circles right Like, I have a lot of fun. Yeah, yeah. Like, guys say, I welcome everybody. And so, like, you know, so sometimes I get audience, you know, you, we share audience and we introduce you.

Like, I'm being introduced to people in your podcast right now, right? Yeah. So sometimes, like, people that are, whatever, they might be that, that kind of way. And then they see my comedy and like, oh, like, I don't like this. Like, that's not funny. It's like, what's not that's not funny. It's just that, like, I'm not for you. Yeah.

You know what I mean? So it's like, and then you just kind of got to find those people that, you know, that I'm right up their alley But I can't stand that too I can't stand like Like casting Like just saying like a comic Isn't just sucks

I mean the worst is like Someone's like killing and someone's like That guy's not funny He's like killing right now You lose all credibility Someone could be hysterical Saying every single thing you disagree with Yeah

It's just it's about it They're making it funny You know so like I don't know That's what I'm not That's not my wheelhouse Like politics It's like almost You know what I've come around

Like started thinking more of That a lot of times what people, and it's not always, but a lot of times what people are calling like being a pussy or cowardly, you're like, no, that guy's being disciplined where it's like, there is, it almost takes a discipline to be like, this is the thing I'm trying to accomplish and I'm not going to let all this other shit get in my head, you know? You get to stay suck you guys. You can't do five things at once.

You can only do one thing great, like at this once, you know? Right, right. Yeah, exactly. And it takes, it takes energy and focus to do that, to argue with people or to take a stance or to like outwardly always be like beating some type of drum or whatever. It's like, I kind of want to It's not brave to be arguing on the internet That was actually sloppy

Yeah, yeah You know, but it's like, you know In times of like real like social Like when like during COVID And with George Floyd It's like everyone's like If you don't fucking speak You know like it's like

It's like all right Like I will tell anyone who will listen Like you know what I feel But it's like Who am I changing By you know Posting an orange square Oh I did probably do that

But you know what about it's like It's like orange square You know But it is like it's just like No that was when Trump almost got shot. Whatever. I don't know whatever.

But, you know, when people are like, you know, I had people like right to me and it's like, what are you doing right now and, you know, for this? And I'm like, what do I owe you? Yeah. I owe myself, my family and I pledge allegiance to me. And also, and also you have no idea what I'm doing. Right. In, in real life stuff.

Yeah. Like the fucking, the fucking. Oh, good point too. Yeah, like the, the, the, the, uh, what do they call when you like, the, um, you know, you're saying something out loud. What do they, um, uh, uh, uh, uh, when you're like outwardly like you're looking for you know like you you take a stance because you like virtue signaling yeah that's it yeah dude i'm telling you man i'm fucking losing my mind i'm taking

some supplements but i can't call up names of people i know what i've had that it started like for the first time i'm four almost 42 and for the first time in the last six months dude i'll be talking to someone it gets worse i i know for a fact it gets worse i'll be talking to someone and i go i was looking at her the tits No, but I forget basic words And I forget names of people I've known for 30 years Yeah, yeah, like virtually virtue signal Yeah, yeah, I'll be talking to someone and I'll and I'm like I've had the conversation with this person 50 times

Yeah, and and then I'm like having a conversation on auto pilot What was that guy's name? Not Adel Fittler Yeah, but like I'll be conversation on autopilot because in my head I'm like what is this person's name? Yeah, yeah And then I and then I'm like I can't believe I don't know this person's name like it's crazy Yeah, so Yeah, so like I think that like but no you're saying what do you the thing you do in real life where you're just like that's always a good point you're just like let's put our actual track records back to back right you go if there was like a almighty power there was like

could scan my life scan your life and go who's did more net positive yeah i i know how i'm living i know exactly how i'm interacting with every person i come across and i know you know the things i'm supporting and what i'm putting out there right i don't need to like be typing on social media some people think that's the just that's the only thing or whatever right whatever just yell that. Yeah, but it's always just interesting when you're like someone that's actually a good person is getting like reamed out for not doing something by someone who's actually a bad person.

Yeah, exactly. You're like, a person that I know that's nice is like getting yelled at by a person I know that is actually a terrible human. Yeah. And I don't need the opinion of people I don't know. I don't need their feedback, you know, just go and ask anyone in my life what they think about me. Yeah, exactly.

And that'll be my barometer. Yeah. And you can worry about what you're barometer to the people to like, you know, faceless voices online, you know, like. that is the that is the future though on a closing note is you should only be worried about the faceless voice the faceless void online yeah no profile photos big computer the faceless voids you should be worried about user 695s they don't even bother to like yeah that's when you're fuck screen name yeah but it's uh you're on tour right now right i just saw you announce a bunch of days yeah yeah so
