Climbing that goddamn boat. Yeah, that's right. Set up some booby traps. Yeah. Like Captain Billups. That's me. Climbing that goddamn boat.
Yeah, that's right.
Set up some booby traps.
Yeah.
Adult Home Alone style.
You skip the stunned getting tested for PTSD section of the movie.
Spoiler alert.
Yeah.
And you just jump straight to just being overly enthusiastic.
Right in there.
It's like, let me put some broken glass out there.
What do you think of that, Somali pirate?
You don't like it, do you?
Hey, everybody.
Welcome to the Digression Sessions.
Josh Coderna here.
My good buddy, Mike Fonazo.
How are you?
Hey.
Hey.
So, yeah.
Hey, everybody.
I told Mike to be at my house at 7 o'clock, and then I promptly forgot about it.
Had a couple beers at dinner celebrating I just signed my life away to a house and uh you text me at 705 i'm outside i
have to pee and i was like and i just finally peed oh yeah you made it i did i did and uh but
yeah i bought a house and then i was showing umar my my roomie, Umi, showing him our new crib. And our friend Bridget is moving to San Diego soon.
So we all went and got dinner.
And then, yeah, you just saw the house that I purchased.
It's very nice.
Thank you.
I'm a home owner now.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
So can't wait until Trump's America.
It's worth nothing.
But there's room for a bomb shelter.
We'll be fine.
But, yeah, so that's what I did today today so i was kind of going through all that stuff um yeah i signed the
paperwork at like one then i hung out with my dad for a little bit and then i just went to the house
and like walked around for a while and uh it was exciting it's like i own this house it's nuts
that's awesome yeah it's crazy crazy crazy so uh yeah but anyway i'm sorry that
i was late how are you oh i'm great yeah feeling good feeling alive looking good oh thank you
no i actually i've been a weird mood at the moment why uh because last week we talked about how you
offended people oh nothing right and today i offended some chick you offended
and we did we tell two stories because it was both yeah yeah i told a joke on facebook and now
i'm being called racist and sexist you're a bad boy and uh yeah i'm the bad boy of comedy you
really are posting jokes on facebook hey omar what are doing? We're listening at home. Omar was
shaking back and forth.
Sorry.
This is a good pod.
You know what's weird? I was looking at you. I didn't
even see you, Omar. He still annoyed me.
He didn't annoy
me at all. I kind of liked it.
I just caught him in his natural
state. I think he was
just shimmying back and forth,
reading about some cooking classes.
Yeah, so you were a bad boy on the Facebook.
You made an off-color joke.
You said all N-words are faggots.
I wasn't that clever, to be honest.
Oh, right.
You said all faggots are n-words.
Yes.
Yeah, that's what it was.
That's a good one.
Yeah.
Write that one down.
All right.
Put it in the moleskin notebook.
Yeah.
No, I just.
White skin notebook.
Thank you.
I just.
So today.
I don't know if you know this, Josh.
I still tell jokes.
What?
Occasionally.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You told jokes with Steve Renazzisi over the weekend.
And that was the last
pod oh and i have a story to add to okay well let's get in that first because yeah that was
your first solo episode yeah it was fun you held it down it was great i mean i i didn't lose the
episode so it was a win yeah like i was just worried that i'd record it and then realize that
i accidentally erased it you hit all the right buttons at all the right times.
And it didn't help that after you showed me how to use the recorder since that you've made the mistake I was worried about.
Oh, absolutely.
So I'm just like if Josh is the smartest person I know, if he fucks this up, what hope do I have?
I've fucked it up a bunch of times.
I've run out of batteries, run out of space.
Yeah, we started this one with about like an hour.
So I think we'll be good.
Good.
So I was worried about like losing the Steve Radice episode.
No, it was great, man.
He did a really good job and then handled like the 9-11 stuff really well.
And it seemed like he knew it could come up.
So he's like, yeah, let's talk about it.
Yeah, he was like such a good dude.
Yeah. I think like what's weird about that yeah he was like such a good dude and yeah i
think like what's weird about that is like when like people have like controversy or whatever
like i got to like call out people like i opened up for carlos mencia and he was really nice but
he was nice on a level of like this guy i can know this guy has a bad reputation yeah he wants to
make amends with the community so he's like uncomfortably nice right like he's well aware
that he's regarded as an asshole so he's not like i need to genuinely be a good guy it's like oh i
need to be seen as a good guy like what would a good person do in this situation not like what
should i do what feels like i feel like somebody's trying to win me over right um which ran as easy
he was just a good dude yeah and i've heard that from other people like before and after this
incident like his incident and he seemed that way on stern because that's when he did his whole like mea
culpa basically of like i fucked up i don't know what the fuck i was doing but yeah it's
haunted me ever since and so so like i i like i liked him before the podcast and then like the
when we talked about the 9-11 stuff he was really honest and like you could tell he was like very
earnest about it and he gave me uh he said some really nice things afterwards where he's like you know
i don't mind talking about it like if people are thoughtful and like try not to be an asshole yeah
and it's not like gotcha yeah he's like you asked a good question so i didn't mind yeah that's that's
cool and then he compared me to nate bargetti and i wow got a boner even better and then you're like
wait a minute you are full of shit i'm like how do i do this is real it's all a lie it's not as easy but so anyway so if you listen
to the uh see right as easy episode he references in his answer about 9-11 because mainly i didn't
ask him directly about his controversy i more asked him about how it's affected yeah and to
circle back for people that don't know he in, in an interview, said that he worked in the World Trade Center on 9-11 in some interview.
And so he said it once.
He didn't catch himself in the moment.
As soon as he knew that he said it, he meant to say, like, I was in New York or whatever.
But it came out in a way that he made it seem like he was in one of the towers.
And then he didn't catch himself.
And then it went on for a while.
And then if he would get asked about it subsequently,'d be like yeah that was true and then finally like the new york times i think was asking him
about it and what was your joke about that by the way oh oh because you're because the only person
that hates the new york time more than steve rand is easy he's donald trump has to be yeah
has to be um but yeah so like he got busted for it and we mentioned this on the
last episode but listen to the howard stern interview i think the whole thing's on youtube
like you can just watch it yeah it's like an hour long yeah and it's really good and that's kind of
why i didn't ask him about it directly because like yeah and it's also the best interviewer
alive talk to him about it for an hour there's nothing next to you oh yeah well as we proved maybe on the second interview
the prince of all media mike finnazzi but yeah so like check out that interview so i just wanted
to ask him like you know how is like that controversy and backlash like affected his
stand-up right and he was like you know honestly like this tour just started but um it really
hasn't like most people either kind of just forgave and like forgot or they just don't
go or don't know like you and i talked about like they probably don't yeah in that you know if he
was to say like okay so i know we're having fun but i lied about being in 9-11 the whole crowd
would be like what yeah that's what he said he's like i've tried to talk about it on stage and
most of the audience didn't know what i was talking and then he was like why would you do
that like just changes the whole frame of reference so he brings up that like there
has never been a heckle about the 9-11 stuff there's been a problem yeah an hour later yeah
we go to the second show last show of the week right and show saturday yeah there was just this
asshole at the front table that like interrupted a few times and the owner who i think's been on
the show andrew is he no no well uh he's like and the owner who I think has been on the show, Andrew,
has he been on the podcast?
No,
well,
he's had cameos.
We've never sat down.
Not formally on the show,
but he's interrupted before to say,
I don't give a fuck about the podcast.
We need to start in 10 minutes.
So he wasn't there.
So I think the guy would have gotten kicked out earlier,
but he didn't.
Right.
But the guy,
I knew it was going to go wrong when I made a reference to, I don't even remember what joke I was doing, but I made a joke about Trump.
About the election.
About the election.
And the guy just started going, who's the president?
Who's the president?
And finally, I was just like, Obama?
Like literally.
Yeah.
Like he actually is.
And like I did, I told a story about my wife making fun of Billy Joel. And like after like the punch, all my punch lines, even later on in my set, the guy just starts going, Billy Joel.
It's like, you're just a drunken.
Who's the president?
Billy Joel.
So the guy was just like disrupted.
Who's the piano man?
Donald Trump.
So the guy was just like disrupted.
If you're in my set, like I saw the staff talk to him like you got to be quiet,
which is really distracting when they're in the front row.
Yeah, and it's distracting everybody else too because they're watching that unfold.
And that's what I mean.
Like everybody sees and knows exactly what's going on.
So they talked to him once during my set.
He quieted down for the rest of it.
Yeah.
And then Brandon Zese gets up and he does some crowd work and he makes fun of the guy and
it's fine yeah kind of letting him know to like chill the fuck out and he's having a really good
set yeah he's out like he's killing and it was actually the crowd that it was probably like the
smallest crowd of the week but like the most people there to see him like there were a few
like people wearing the league t-shirts oh nice um so they're all on his side right and uh the guy just again becomes really disruptive to the point where they finally
kicked him out and even like steve was like no you don't have to kick him out i don't like doing
that at my shows like we'll try to make this work and then he just kept being a shithead and they
finally were like no he's being thrown out and as he's being dragged out, the guy starts going, you lied about 9-11.
Wow.
Damn.
And Ranazizi, without missing a beat,
and you hear people gasp, like, what the fuck?
Like, come on, man.
And finally, Steve Ranazizi goes, yeah, you know what?
I lied about 9-11, and I feel bad about that, and I own that.
And you're a drunken asshole, and you need to own that.
And everybody went nuts.
And we're, again, totally on his side.
And he goes on to have a great rest of his set.
Nice.
But then as soon as he gets off stage, he goes, I blame you.
Yeah.
And here's why.
And even when he tweeted out our episode, he was just like, this was a really good podcast,
but they totally jinxed it.
Yeah, jinxed it.
Jinxed the next show.
Yeah.
But yeah, again, to reiterate, we're not just like bullshitting.
Like, seriously, good dude.
If he wasn't, we wouldn't have asked him to be on the show.
Yeah, and you could tell that, too, from the interview.
It was just like a very casual conversation.
And other interviews I've seen with him or heard, he's been very apologetic as far as the 9-11 stuff goes.
And then just also seems like a good dude.
Just a normal dude.
And he's just a comic.
Yeah, yeah.
But yeah.
No, that's awesome, man.
That's a milestone.
The dig sesh you took over.
Oh, yeah.
You proved our biggest critics correct.
Old Yoko Ono put out a solo album, did she yeah there's one person out there going i
knew this was coming i told you uh no that's great man and i i wish i could have been there but i was
in the beautiful new cumberland pennsylvania how was that this time of year i had a good time there
um yeah we did uh so i had uh two shows um one on friday
there was supposed to be a second show on saturday but that got canceled it was like a charity event
that they didn't sell any tickets for or something like that no one cares about that charity whatever
it was nobody cared and also i was like oh thank god because i was supposed to start at 10 30 so
that means like i don't know we leave it like midnight right right um but uh no that that
club is uh they really like turned it around so for those listening at home that maybe we probably
have some people that listen in harrisburg but the comedy zone used to be set up like a mess hall
like would have just basically huge long sort of like cafeteria tables set up facing the stage.
So people were facing each other but not facing the stage.
So it was like a big cafeteria.
And if you wanted to see the stage, you had to turn to your right to see it.
So they got rid of all that and they put in tables horizontally.
So now everybody's like paying attention and they have to, which is great.
That's awesome.
But yeah, I showed up friday and the headliner
couldn't make it because he flew in from charlotte and uh he flew in to dc his flight was delayed
and then because it's the day after thanksgiving there were like no rental cars uh-huh so he got
stuck in dc so i show up and they're like all right so you know you're doing 30 right and i was
like i had no idea so the feature got bumped up to headliner then i got bumped up to feature and then our friend
mike boyer really funny pennsylvania comic he was the host and uh the crowd was great man i had a
blast so it was nice i ended up doing like 33 minutes and uh yeah so you went over your time
congratulations my time for sure well because i added i added like a couple i added like
everything i was like all, let me just throw in
this little thing here.
So, actually, my set list
was longer than it needed to be. Plus,
there was time to fuck around with the crowd and stuff
like that. And
I just had a blast. I was like, no, I love
being here. And I brought up a story of
one time I was there
hosting and there was a bachelorette party.
And I was like, hey, how you guys doing? doing you're gonna have a great time tonight your headliner so-and-so your feature so-and-so
give it up for them my name is josh i'll be your host i'm from baltimore and the bachelorette who
has like the tiara on and she can tell she's drunk and she's just like and i thought she'd
be like fuck yeah you know just in a good mood. She just goes, fuck you, go Stillers.
And so I retold that story, and I was like,
and I think she's like the mayor now, I don't know.
That reminds me of one time I was featuring there,
the host, who apparently has been banned from there since then because he was such a bad host.
Really?
He bombed during his set,
was always supposed to do four minutes,
or like 10 minutes, did four minutes.
And then when he goes to break me up, goes well if you hated me our next comedians are baltimore so i guess he's a ravens
fan yeah and they just like started booing me before i even started and even say hello yeah
i remember yeah i remember you told me about that and uh but yeah this crowd could not have been
cooler and they're like laughing at that story and i was cool man it was one of those things
where like i didn't know the thing was coming up so there wasn't a pressure to
it so i was like oh fuck yeah and then uh i know you know you can do it yeah yeah and like i've
i've featured you know other shows or like closed out like bar shows and stuff that's and i've done
like two man shows at clubs but it's like my first time right right being like the feature congrats and it was uh you know by uh um
what uh uh de facto i don't know but basically like it was just like i mean you have to be the
feature i guess so it's those that like we believe it well kind of they just looked around the room
they're like well we're not going to promote an audience yeah it's like all right yeah yeah but
no it was cool and i had to think like people want to take pictures after the show and stuff like that it felt good man it was uh it was a fun night um first feature at a
club technically yeah first house first house shit's going right on a roll first finazzo episode
two out of three ain't bad uh let's not talk about your house that way the but the headliner so his name was Jeremy on the website it was
Jeremy Burpee in quotations Alsop and so when he showed up on Saturday I was getting his credits
because as a host you like to say you know they might be promoting a new DVD or you know you know
they're on certain stuff but they it's for the people at home they might want to like you know
they might be selling something after the show so so you're like hey make sure you get this guy's shirt out the show help
me welcome to stage so and so uh so it's like hey so when you say like jeremy burpee i'll stop and
he's like just burpee it's like okay so i'm gonna call you burpee it's like all right so give it up
for just burpee like no you got it oh worse when i was bringing him up i was like you know i'm from
mtv's wild and out mtv's joking off this guy's hilarious start clapping right now for mr burpee
i called him mr burpee i did that with uh the first time i hosted at the comedy factory alabama
correct me when i said mr alabama like he was like mr universe or or something. Yeah, well, Mr. Burpee sounds like a fun time Nickelodeon character.
Like Barney's good friend, Mr. Burpee.
That's funny.
And like as I was doing the handshake, as he was like coming up to the mic,
and I was just like, sorry, I added the Mr.
He's like, ah, it's all good, man.
He was laughing.
He was really cool.
And at the end of his set, he took time out.
He was like, give it up for the other guys you saw tonight.
Your host, he was hilarious.
Normally with these hosts you get awful.
That guy was hilarious.
And I was like, wow, that was really nice.
Right on.
He was so nice.
So, yeah, it was a good weekend, man.
It was awesome.
I had a good little time.
Thanksgiving with Grandma was good.
She didn't get too passive aggressive.
That was nice.
Nice.
We've had
uh there's been events where not really like events but uh thanksgivings where um i remember
one time i told her what were we talking about louis ck i don't know if i've told this story
on here but uh i think they did a piece on louis ck in the new york times or something and she
loves the new york times she's like I was reading an article on Louis CK.
And he has his own show on FX.
And he writes all his own stuff.
I think he's my favorite comedian.
And I was like, well, Grandma, you know, I'm a comedian.
And she goes, yeah, I've never seen your stuff.
Can you pass the potatoes?
Wow.
Like most grandmas be like, I've never seen it, but I bet you're the best.
She's like, I don't know your shit. I know Louis is funny. This guy is really good, though. wow like most grandmas be like i've never seen it but i bet you're the best right she's just like i
don't know your shit i know louis fun this guy is really good he's like have you been in the new
york times fuck off i like the reverse of that which is i was at a wedding once and someone
asked me so like louis ck do you know that guy like oh yeah we go to the union yeah yeah yeah
every thursday we're at the same spot yeah my, my grandma is just a little Jewish lady.
Last year she made a turkey.
And before we ate, she just put a little Jewish guilt out there.
She was like, well, enjoy the turkey.
It's the last one I'll ever make.
So, all right.
Got to think about you dying while we eat this turkey.
This turkey tastes sadder.
Yeah.
Hmm.
A little bit of guilt in there.
That's good.
This turkey tastes like heart disease.
That's tender.
Very good.
No, she'll live forever.
She's funny.
She lives in like an old folks community, like a little like apartment building.
It's like independent living where there's people on site just in case, I think.
She calls it death row.
So that's fun.
She's like, people die here all the time?
Two a week?
I'm like, okay. death row so that's fun he's like people die here all the time two a week like okay uh but this year
so a big thing with my grandma is she wants to be able to play her cds so we're like all right well
you can play in your dvd player you just use this remote and she has like a meltdown when we show
remotes and stuff and like so that happened once before and then we're trying to do it again
this thanksgiving and i was like kind of joking around she's like oh it's just a big joke huh And like, so that happened once before. And then we were trying to do it again this Thanksgiving.
And I was like kind of joking around.
She's like, oh, it's just a big joke, huh?
You think it's a big joke?
I'm like, no.
Like she was getting real serious.
I was like, I understand.
It's okay.
She's like, well, what if you read all day and your eyes were tired?
And then you had to.
I'm like, it's all right.
It's all right.
We're going to need you to just reel it in.
So we came close to a meltdown, but survived.
Right on.
So yeah, it was a good Thanksgiving.
You?
That was yours.
It was good.
It's always hectic because we go from my folks' house to my wife's house or to Laura's house.
It's weird when I always say my wife, like as if you don't know who she is and we haven't hung out before.
I don't know her.
I've heard of her. Mike always does this thing where he drives by and he's like, my wife's the car and it's just like a blow-up doll it's lars and the real girl yeah oh man
that's cool um yeah so it's always weird because like my parents it's literally just my parents
and we have like lunch with them right i would go to my wife's family's thanksgiving get together
yeah which isn't just her parents but it's like a ton of
cousins and shit so it's like 40 people gotcha so i really feel like i'm like having dinner with
my wife's parents and then just other people yeah that i either don't know or kind of know
in some way it's a lot of fucking nice people and everything but yeah it's always like a weird
dynamic especially when you come from like literally like the finazzo household which is
as small as a get-together.
Right, right.
Yeah, my Thanksgiving this year was me, my dad, my grandma, and Karen.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
See, but it was fine.
Uh-huh.
It was nice.
We left a seat open for Elijah.
He didn't show up.
I don't know if that's his thing, but the seat was open.
Right.
Are you talking?
Yeah, so your thing, a lot of people.
A lot of people.
Uh-huh. uh yeah so your thing a lot of people a lot of people uh it was nothing like like crazy eventful except for a few uh family members found out i was going to be at bagoobies and they ended up
coming to that show so that was awkward that was good though you did well right i did it was
actually my best set of the week but it's more of like my family knows i'm a piece of shit i like
to keep the illusion up for my wife's family and one of them after the show asked me like does laura know you to say those things and i was like she wrote it does laura
actually think you're a faggot yeah i actually didn't tell that joke but i told what i told the
because i had to cut down on the the amount of faggots in my set josh um that's a funny sentence
um uh yeah i did the story about where laura got drunk and went billy
joel's a faggot yeah at a wedding uh-huh and people and i told that story they're like does
she know you make stuff up like that i was like i did not make that up yeah stuff yeah um but it
was nice it was a nice family weekend it was nice it was really good we had a nice nice little yeah
but i know you feel the same i'm always feel more pressure when there's people there i know
oh totally totally because i don't know what people think of what like i what their perception
of comedy is or what it's going to be especially if i'm just hosting like we'll come see i'm like
i only do a few minutes up top and then i tell you to uh fill out your comment card there's also
like you want to like like last year when i had Magoobies. Yeah, what you're doing again.
Speak it off.
Come back again this year.
Well, last year when I did.
Hopefully I can feature those shows.
Hopefully.
Fingers crossed.
Dicks crossed too.
I got my dick crossed.
But it's the 29th and the 30th?
29th and the 30th.
Thursday is just the new talent night and I'm closing it out.
Then Friday is two shows that I'm headlining.
And then what's Saturday?
Oh, that's the 31st.
That's New Year's Eve.
Right.
So that's a different. Completely different show. Still, different show still that's nice man yeah it'll be fun but
like last year when i headlined i literally had like 40 or 50 people come out that i knew
yeah and it's always like weird to where it's like i've done 45 minutes before but it's like i have
when you do comedy you have so much to worry about anyway yeah like the least like you want to be
worried about oh what's this person thinking or something oh yeah yeah or every little bit and then like you know or like oh wait i stuttered
on that or i meant to go to this thing and then i didn't or even like this is like slightly
different but like when we had the movie screening at the senator yeah like literally two minutes
before the screening my my mom is like where's your dad gonna park and i was like i should not
be worrying about this right now like anywhere close it's the same thing with stand-up too it's like worried about like
where my parents are sitting are they having a good time are they yeah yeah are they paying
attention exactly yeah exactly but um but yeah mcgoobies is always fun i was glad we had good
shows i'm glad i got to have family see good shows and yeah hopefully at the end of the month
it'll be the same yeah fucking amen no that's exciting yeah i remember when you headlined last year i was gonna come but
i was shitting my pants yeah i remember that literally i feel like we've talked about probably
yeah we've talked about a bunch speaking of family not liking jokes can i get into what
pissed me off oh yeah so speaking of digressions, we digress
quite a bit. This isn't even that big of a digression. I think it's most of the show.
It's literally what you two did for. Yeah. No. So today I bought a house. Yes. Okay.
Officially. Yeah. I'm over your house. I've been hearing about this for weeks now. Come
on now. Congratulations. I love you. Can't wait till the first time
I piss my wife off
and I spend the night.
You should, yeah.
It's going to be a nice living room.
Once I finish that room
in the basement,
it's going to be awesome.
Ooh, buddy.
I genuinely love your house.
Do you?
Yes, and I'm mildly jealous
of your house.
Are you?
Yeah.
It's a great house.
I like that.
Give me a little bit of that jealousy.
Yeah, just add that to the list.
That's equity right there
A little jealousy equity
I just show people
So Fnaza's jealous of this room
It's really nice
No it's good man
It's a good house it needs a little bit of work
But I think it's good
Anyway what were you saying
So I wrote a joke today
I posted it on social media
My face says that I'm jealous of you Anyway, what were you saying? So I wrote a joke today. I posted it on social media.
My face says that I'm jealous of you.
Let me pull up the... So I don't know if...
Because you've been busy today,
but Trump announced who his new...
What was I busy with?
What was I doing today?
Buying a fucking house.
Trump announced who his head of transportation was,
and I looked at the picture,
and it was uh he it was an
elderly asian woman is the head of transportation what possible joke could you make here so i just
wrote and i don't even think tell me if you find this terribly offensive i said trump just appointed
an asian woman to be the head of transportation because we all need some levity during these dark times.
That's the joke.
It's not a fact.
I mean, it's a stereotype joke.
It's a joke about stereotypes.
It's like, huh, I bet you nobody will notice this.
And I like that three people got upset.
And really, it was one.
Was it on Twitter or Facebook?
Facebook.
Okay.
Well, Twitter got a few retweets. It was fine. No or facebook facebook okay well twitter it got a few
retweets it was fine yeah no yeah the alt-right loved it yeah i was gonna say as much shit as
i've gotten on twitter the last few weeks this was like yeah nothing listen i uh once drunkenly
uh was hanging out with an asian gal uh my friend was on a date with and i i thought it'd be funny
to call her general sal not funny
she did i think you've made that joke on the podcast probably and when i said it like i was
like the drunken thing like this is gonna crush it's like hey chill out general sal and she punched
me as hard as she could but like this goes back to like what we were talking about last week and
on a lost episode where it's like would you make a joke like that
yeah one it's not racist it's about stereotypes yeah and two like uh two different like mainly
my asshole brother-in-law who i hope dies in a fire so big fan of the show yeah uh yeah big
listener i hope so but uh he uh he was just like you can't call out people like steve badden and
donald trump
for being racist that make jokes like this and it's like hey guess what you actually can yeah
telling a joke about something isn't the same as actually being a racist bigot and enforcing
policies that are going to affect the lives of people yeah you haven't actually said that your
facebook is a platform for the alt-right which stands for like white
domination basically and again i'm not saying asian women shouldn't drive because they're shitty
i made a joke about a stereotype yeah and so it was basically it all started with one like hipster
white girl who like if you look at her facebook page there's a lot of like a white girl complaining
about political correct exactly so there's and if you look at her page there's a lot of like a white girl complaining about political correct exactly so there's and if
you look at her page there's a lot of fake outrage yeah and a lot of just like overly pc bullshit
who is the girl i'm not going to say her name but we do have does it begin with an a
no okay um who are you who you're thinking asian broad no no this is sort of the see
ching chong dig dog
we gotta cut that out
but so she just
writes this joke's really offensive and it's
racist and it's a bummer to see it
yeah and so I was just like well you
responded with that gif of a gong
being hit which is messed up
yeah just posted clips of big
trouble in little China
but but I just messed up yeah i just posted clips of uh big trouble in little china but um but i i you know i
just responded like you know i really appreciate where you're coming from but like this joke isn't
harmful it's gonna be the episode title by the way is big big trouble in little facebook yes
yeah but it was like it's not uh harmful and guess what you can tell jokes and you shouldn't cross
you shouldn't draw lines on where you can tell jokes or not.
And to like that girl's credit, she was just like, you know, we don't agree.
I totally get what you're saying.
Oh, that's nice.
So she was cool about it.
And then out of nowhere, this dude, I won't say his name, Asian guy, DC comedian.
I don't know if he even does comedy anymore, but he has done comedy.
Okay.
And he's just like, this joke is based on a
stereotype and if i heard you say this in person i would put my foot up your ass and yeah and like
start saying and uh you think that uh because you've uh taken up for causes of minorities that
that gives you the right to tell a racist joke it's not racist again the joke's not racist yeah and me and like standing
up for black lives matter or like races or speaking out against trump and bannon doesn't
give me the right to say it yeah but it does give you context to say all right this person's not
racist and they told a slightly off-color joke around and right that's actually where a lot of i think um not mending but a lot of connection comes from
like kind of fucked up jokes sometimes like it's fun to laugh at that stuff and i don't
i don't know i don't i don't ever get offended i'm like hey not all white people do that where
it's like no i get how you could say that and i think it's funny and i think when you kind of
like bust balls a little bit, but when you do that,
it's,
it opens it up to people being like,
no,
I'm outraged by that.
Like,
are you?
And especially like,
like I give any of,
so my brother-in-law who kept saying like,
what gives you as a white male,
the right to say that that's not offensive.
And it's like,
well,
because you know,
the context of the jokes,
not coming from a racist person.
Also the joke again,
not racist
yeah it's fucking around it's like an easy stereotype thing but that's what the joke was
supposed to exactly yeah and so and and it's like to me my example to him is like his favorite
movie's the hangover which says the word retard in it like a million times he has a brother who's
mentally disabled why does he think that's okay like where do you start
drawing lines on this shit you can't just arbitrarily choose shit to be offended by
oh yeah and i also think that like would you start like blurring lines of like
a comedian telling a joke is just as bad as like donald trump being legitimately racist that's
bullshit you're not the president-elect exactly but and also i i'm not earnestly enforcing things that
will affect the lives of minorities yeah yeah or or having actual sway over america or international
relations at all it sucks man it's just it's really frustrating because it makes you think
like for a second like when that stuff happened
to me i'm like am i yeah i mean i never thought like am i racist but like oh my god am i like
actually offensive am i right right and it's like it sucks because then it makes you mad like no
that wasn't my intent at all um but it's a thing too like i don't like we talked about this one
like what we touched on like the pc stuff yeah like i've done comedy february makes
seven years and i've done something like 1400 shows right you know somewhere around that because
i was doing over 300 shows a year for a few of those years and it's like i've had people get
offended at shows oh sorry no you're right uh i've had people get offended at shows like less than
five times right so it's like i'm like i could times. Right. So it's like I could be dirty.
I curse.
But it's like I'm not an offensive comedian.
No.
So it's like when you start like pulling out shit that's like the minutia of what jokes are offensive and not offensive.
Then you're calling everybody out and saying, well, something you're going to say is going to offend somebody.
So you shouldn't say it.
Well, it's a false equivalency too because then when somebody is actually offended exactly that's and that's a point we made about
trump and a point i made today and talking to these people was like when you start getting
offended or talk like have this like fake outrage over a comedian telling a joke or somebody who
you know is not racist like saying anything right then you have people like trump who are legitimately
pieces of
shit and the right's going to be so desensitized that they're just like oh pussy liberals that's
what they do yeah they just get offended yeah it's boy who cries wolf right yeah um so or girl
or a person cries wolf yeah um but or cries animal i don't know if it identifies as a wolf
and that's okay there's just like it's
so frustrating like dealing with the like the fake outrage and yeah it's because it doesn't
do good for anybody it does it does zero it helps nothing because then it's just like oh this person
that complains about everything is complaining right and they could have a legitimate gripe at
that point and like the guy who's asian and a comedian i just said i was like you know
i'm really sorry that you got offended yeah i also know that you're a comedian so i really hope that
you don't say something that crosses someone else's line and they stick their foot up your ass
because there's got to be something you say that's offended so totally it's just we can't
just like arbitrage like i get and racist jokes and like genuinely
racist jokes yeah bother me right i'm somebody that works with people with mental disabilities
and i've been offended by people saying retard one stage or like especially when it's like making
fun of people with disabilities like that makes me cringe but i wouldn't tell anybody like you
shouldn't say that yeah and you kind of have to see in between the lines of like their intent and like where else they're coming from like you could tell if it's their whole set
is really fucked up like it was like i hate women yeah like what you know or something like that
like you could tell where it's going right and you don't just take it out of context of like
yeah you know like we talked about like the tracy morgan thing it's like obviously he's not going to
really stab right his son in the chest.
Just like he's literally not going to take his own poop and wear it as a hat,
which he's also said on stage.
This is the craziest stuff.
I loved when he was on Howard Stern when they were like,
he was talking about how nice his neighborhood is.
He's like, does your brother ever come visit?
He's like, what?
What?
I see my brother in my neighborhood.
I call the cops myself.
Can't have no other black people in my neighborhood.
It's like, does he obviously think that?
No.
Yeah, when I was talking to our friend Randolph Terrence about...
Comedian.
Yeah, great comedian.
Black fella.
Martial artist.
Activist.
One hell of a model American.
Yes. But we were talking about
comedians being offensive or whatever and uh he he brought up he's like i just watched tracy
morgan two nights ago and his opening line was i thought kate leggetta she a milf yeah
pretty progressive very progressive it's the most progressive thing you could say
right i just think that like context
is so important and i think that we've lost that yeah and it's like with this jew liberal media
you know it gets tougher and tougher to know what's really going on so if we're gonna have
some infighting let it be against the jews is what we're saying right right okay exactly okay good
good that's that's what i thought we
were saying we're on the same page right exactly okay good good um yeah i'm trying to think like
i i think it'll get better i hope i just i just hope things don't get too um not divided but like
i just hate when people on the left where it's like making such a big
issue out of that stuff when it's like guys let's just focus on what's bigger here we might actually
have a fascist people on your own side is just not productive over little little shit too it's
like well you don't need to do that yeah like i just think that there's context and there's
minutiae to everything and every not everything is a simple black and white issue of this guy's nice or this guy's an extreme racist yeah it's like no you can
have different views on things yeah and that in mind i do think every trump supporter is a racist
on some level well or enables racism see that yeah it's either you're racist or you're okay
with racism yeah but it's like i think that you can make a joke
and not be a racist piece of shit i think you could be somebody with views and i think you
could be somebody making a joke right right so uh well you know we'll we'll see how that goes
i just know christmas is gonna be awkward this year when i run into my brother-in-law
yeah you really don't like him it's just it's especially like i never have
but uh we get along when we talk about sports okay but no he uh like if i post something on
facebook he writes like the longest most self-important condescending right when you
make a joke or anything like that not even just a joke but it's like his stance is always like
he comes out from this is the correct stance and you're a piece of shit and when election
night here's why on election night he said something really sarcastic like uh do you want
me to explain something slower and louder and i was like if you say if you would have said that
to me in person i would have knocked your fucking teeth in and uh so it's like he says stuff like
that i cannot picture you getting in a physical fight
i've been in a physical fight before have you not recently okay like in high school i have really
yeah i don't know scraps i want to hear about these uh something exciting like it's as dorky
as it sounds really or as dorky as you could imagine yeah um like i actually punched one kid
in the face and my sophomore year or freshman year high school
you land it i did land it pretty good and two weird things what i ended up becoming friends
with that kid uh-huh and two like it got a teacher saw it and like sent me to the vice
principal's office the vice principal was basically like yeah kid kind of deserved it
wow like he was just like yeah you can't punch people but like he's a bad kid oh so was he like talking shit and like yeah like it was a bunch of stuff like uh-huh
that like built up to like that moment yeah i cocked him in between classes once nice um but
yeah i just remember mr donachello don donachello i think his name was he was our vice principal
and um yeah he was just like yeah
he can't do that he's a bad kid though so he's like hey mike they drew first blood right that's
okay but um no i just don't like being like condescended to or like talk to from like a
point of view of like someone else is the smartest person in the world yeah especially when it
becomes every post yeah like oh here we go yeah I don't need a seven paragraph, a literal seven paragraph response to why you voted for Gary Johnson.
And that's smart.
Gary Johnson.
But yes.
So today, what do you call me?
Racist and sexist.
It cut a little deep.
Right.
So I just responded. Thanks. You uh you know as always you're an expert
and he's like why are you so set like why why are you taking this so personally you made a racist
and sexist thing i was like i'm not taking it personal i just wish i was as self-important as
you are right and um i i think yeah i think think a lot of that stuff.
Also, when you talk down to people like that, when has it ever changed anybody's mind?
No, it doesn't.
Like, do you think?
That's a mistake Democrats made as well in the last election.
Yeah.
And so they do the same thing that they hate the Republicans do.
It's like, oh, you're just going gonna say global warming doesn't exist blah blah because
you know republicans can have that stance of like or come at it from from that angle of like
that's not that doesn't exist what are you talking about and it's like oh that's it okay you're not
you're gonna ignore all this it's like you cannot be the same way back you can't be condescending
at the same time like well let me show you but just to be like you should be ashamed of the way you think nobody's nobody's ever been like i am and i've done that before
i've i've made that mistake but it's like oh i am racist i've never you are so right it's like by
belittling somebody it just makes them dig in even more right even if you are right but the way that
you're communicating it it does you no service at all in the way that you're doing
it um and i i just hate that stuff like it's like just just explain it in a way where you don't come
off acting like you're the smartest person ever um because yeah i've had that done to me before
and it's like the only thing it's made me want to do is like buy because so i've talked about this on the podcast before but i posted something about um
bill cosby once and uh the new york new york magazine had a cover with um all of the women
that were accusing bill cosby i think it was like 42 women at the time or something and so i shared
that on instagram it's like wow all 42 of the cosby accusers come forward on the
new york mag and a friend of mine at the time she just left a comment uh victims with the asterix
on it i was like well they're accusing and then like she's like no that's putting the onus on
them to prove that bill cosby did that when they're blah blah i'm like well first off they're
people yeah because she was like no first and foremost they're victims like do you know that
they want to be called victims like i'm sure some people do but i don't think that wants to define
anyway it's like this whole back and forth and it's like all this once makes me want to do is
buy a fucking messenger plane with one of those like huge things that you see in ocean city
that just says accusers on the back of it and fly it around your house until i'm broke like it
at no point was i like oh thank because it was just out of the gate just that one comment with
the ash right like let me educate you on this same thing happened on a facebook post i wrote
during the it might have been right before right after the election yeah uh but somebody wrote in the thread something about um it was a very liberal person it was actually talking about
how yeah so is mine yeah the right how he doesn't he doesn't like the way the right looks at illegal
immigrants or something like yeah yeah or illegal workers i think he said it's all about immigration
right and someone corrected him same thing with an asterisk undocumented workers yeah and i was like i get what you mean but come that person's on your
fucking side it's like yeah and then later like i was unfriended by this person and then they posted
stuff like uh they posted like because i made the similar thing i was like can we focus on that like
we agree like i'm not saying he's innocent we agree like 99.9999 we agree can't
you just focus on that right and so i was unfriended and then she posted this thing that
was like oh and i'm supposed to give you you white male in america i'm supposed to pat you on the head
because you think you did a good job well you didn't go far enough and then you got upset when
i showed you like no that's not the point
like we're on the same side and you are like belittling me over something i did earnestly
yeah yeah and that's like so yesterday uh like delta airlines banned did you see this no it was
so this dude got on an airplane do you see this you hear about this what i said did you see this
did you hear about this all the video no it's doing the jay said, did you see this? Did you hear about this? I saw the video. No, this is when they're doing the Jay Leno thing.
You see this?
You hear about this?
So I hear you got a story.
Yeah.
So this dude, he got caught on like a cell phone video or camera phone.
But basically, this dude just like gets on a plane.
He starts going, you fucking Hillary bitches on this plane?
Trump.
Trump, baby.
And he goes on this like four-minute rant.
And in a few minutes, he got caught. Hey, but he sits down. Trump, Trump, baby. And he goes on this like four minute rant. And a few minutes got caught up.
Hey, but he sits down.
Nothing happens to the guy.
Like they don't kick him off the plane.
He's the pilot.
Run away to St. Louis.
So anyway, here are the safety procedures.
We have any Hillary bitches on the plane.
So he goes on this rant.
Jump out over the Grand Canyon, which we're passing right now.
A few days later, Delta Airlines
announces that we think this behavior
is disgusting. We don't care what side you're
on politically. You don't act like that
on our plane. That's harassment.
And this person's banned for life from our
airline. I think that's a great thing.
Of course, you look
on Twitter, there's a bunch of people
bitching Delta didn't do
something quickly enough and like saying you know that's great they said something now we still need
to boycott them because of the way they handled it initially which is exactly what we're talking
about it's like it's a huge corporation like they need to run it up the chain talk about it and then
they're gonna issue it yeah luckily delta airlines is it run by me who would like right away have like a knee jerk reaction yeah like that happens crash the plane
everybody else has to die that's our policy that guy's got to go immediately yeah yeah it's so
insane or it's like what you're gonna boy they for doing the right thing but not quick enough
yeah no that was like today when i got shit on uh there was another thing
that bothered i'm sorry i really was like like when i got to your new house i was genuinely
like pissed like this is all like really fresh for me oh gotcha gotcha and um i feel better now
but uh so like uh something that uh like when i've responded to like the person who yeah was shitting on me or
whatever i like by a knee-jerk reaction would just be like cut like with just all in caps
like no i'm gonna try to respond thoughtfully be so funny if you wrote that and then like a
three paragraph thing with an asterisk then edit yeah then you click on his first response you fucking god um but uh what i meant
to say was i appreciate your comment and uh but that was uh thanks to like my brother-in-law
actually say why are you taking this like or why are you getting so defensive you made a racist
comment people got mad and now you have to deal with the consequence it's like no people didn't
get mad like a lot of people like the joke a lot of people who saw it and
they got it yeah or they didn't think anything of it it said like three people got offended
and two of them are white people getting offended for other people yeah one of them's just like and
to the dude who's asian if he was genuinely offended i don't know what the struggle was
like in his life yeah i and i genuinely mean it when
i was just like i'm sorry you got offended like i'm not saying that to be like yeah harder cool
like if you took offense to that like i am sorry yeah i'm still not sorry for telling that joke
but like for like the fucking like hipsters and like outrage police that are gonna get offended
for something yeah i i got nothing for you yeah yeah because there's no point. Oh, hey, Omar. How are you? Good to see you. How are you, buddy?
Omar just
walked in. Flipping the
bird. He's wearing a Blink-182
onesie that he wears to bed. Looking
good. Looking cute.
Okay, buddy. You can
do that. He just said he's going to
blow a guy.
That's what it sounds like. We'll hear the sounds
of silence and blowing a guy uh that's what it sounds like we'll hear the sounds of silence and blowing a guy
um yeah it it sucks because yeah it's like i don't want to actually offend somebody but it
but it's it's not helping to to like complain on behalf of somebody else that you don't even know
if they're a fan that's also like saying like you tell a joke at 30 people like it yeah and two
people are outraged by it you shouldn't be like you know what i gotta stop right i gotta cut this shit out but that's another thing
that i think that like it's kind of a microcosm of what the like the media does where like the
tracy morgan thing like yeah that always bothered me when it shows the video of him telling that
joke it's like comedian outrages audience or a fed. You listen to the video, he's killing.
Yeah, Bill Burr's made that point a bunch of times.
Like every time I see a video, they're doing great.
Yeah, it's like bombs with this racist joke.
It's like, oh, they seem to be into it.
Like everybody makes a big deal of the Michael Richards thing.
He was having a great time.
He was having a great time.
And to be fair, that guy should have got a fork up his ass.
You know what he said? I think something like that. guy should got a fork up his ass and that what he said i
think think something like that like a pitch fork up your ass uh so to clarify michael richards was
not having a set he was having a great set uh the uh the the show in harrisburg the first night um
uh the the feature who was headlining that night uh Really, really funny guy, Ray DeVito, by the way.
Nice guy.
Oh, he is really.
He's a friend of Mike Stork's.
He's really funny.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, he was really cool.
He's a good comedian, too.
Really funny.
He got punched in the face at high tops once.
Really?
Then there's a video of it, and he won't release it.
Damn.
Interesting.
Yeah, it was like a heckler he was like dealing
with her yeah she literally came up and hit him in the face wow speaking of fights good wow crazy
oh sorry oh no no problem uh yeah he uh there was a table it was like a whole family and they were
just kind of drunk and uh at one point this guy just like so he did like an election bit and this guy
is like yelling out trump and then it was so funny it's just like yelling out trump for like stuff
that didn't even make sense like there was a guy unrelated to this table was wearing um a suit but
it was like christmas themed like head to toe right right and so ray was making fun of this guy
and he's like so you must really like attention.
What do you do for a living?
The guy's like, I sell cars.
And so that was funny that this guy is dressed like a goober, sells cars.
So people are laughing.
And then the guy just goes, Trump!
The other guy is like, what does this have to do with Trump?
And then Ray was joking about that.
And then the guy just goes, kill Hillary.
Kill her.
Oh, my God. That's a little extreme. that and then the guy just goes kill hillary killer oh my god and i think i think that guy
i'm pretty sure it's him but at that table later after the show uh ray was staying in harrisburg
because he's from new york so he just was staying at the the venue has like a little motel connected
to it so he was talking to that table after the show and he told me the next night he's like yeah i was uh hanging out with them they're buying me drinks and ended up being okay they were just
kind of drunk and like whatever and uh he said at one point the woman's like you know i'm in an
open marriage so if you wanna and he's like no i'm good and then so i think then they're going
to leave and then the husband he's like hey we're in an open relationship or marriage if you want to fuck my wife.
It's really weird that the husband's the one that talked about it.
Yeah, he was like, go for it.
Fuck my wife.
Which is really, really weird.
Like, can you imagine going to see, like, Ray's really funny.
But still, it's just like, they don't know who he is.
Right.
They didn't know who he was before.
They're like, you're funny?
You want to fuck my wife? Yeah, yeah yeah yeah what i used to have a joke maybe i'll bring it back but uh
it was uh a friend of mine's in an open marriage and if you don't know what that is that's when
uh the girl can have sex with whoever she wants and the dude still fucks no one yeah um but uh
yeah that's really bizarre that sounds like a new cumberland kind of thing
yeah totally doesn't it um and then yeah we were just talking about how like uh how funny it is
that like women can just do that he's like at no point was i like giving her signals of like
right i want to hook up he's like we're just talking and they were buying me beer so i was
hanging out and she's like you want to fuck like if a guy did that i'd be like you pick but a woman's like i've been talking to this guy for like an hour probably wants to
fuck you want to fuck does that hotel still look like a hotel from no country for old men
probably i mean the whole thing looks better i'm guessing the rooms look better too i don't know
but the first time i did the harrisburg comedy zone um uh the directions were given to me
they're like uh if it looks like you're pulling up to the scene of a horror film that's it i was
like that is terrifying that's what it looked like they had no sign there are no lights the
parking lot had like grass growing up sign and it's big sign like everything's renovated and
nice but yeah it was real bad yeah and i think
the headliner i was working with he's like i'm not fucking staying here he's like i saw a bedbug
in my room i'll fucking pay 60 to stay the holiday in right but yeah it's nice now it was cool yeah
i never stayed there i just drove home the same night like an hour yeah and then i uh i would
always keep the room and use it as like a green room. Oh. Because there's no green room at the club.
Right.
So I would just like watch TV in between shows and stuff.
That's a good move.
Look at you.
Not bad for a racist.
You're pretty smart.
Oh, we're just a couple misogynist racists trying to make it work on a podcast.
Just a couple white males.
I'm tired of us being oppressed.
Tired of it.
Tired of it.
Me and Tommy Sbazo were joking about
that um that all right event that so like that conference that whatever that douchebag's name
is when he was giving his like whatever like cunt face whatever his uh keynote was right
richard spencer yeah so like if you see that video at the end of it like he's not a very good
public speaker but he like kind of stutters.
It's so funny too because he's making his case
of why they should be dominant.
He's just like,
and that's why white people are great.
But at the end of his speech,
he lifts his glasses sort of like,
ah, I did it.
But we were joking,
the people in the audience like oh we're
doing that then they start zigzag and he like has his glasses like no i didn't mean right right
like a curb your enthusiasm style like
just looking around and all these guys like yeah game on right right he's like no it's just lifting
that's funny um but uh i don't know why i brought i brought that up but uh it's always on
your mind always i'm this close i'll get a ticket this close to doing the zig aisle just looking for
that go ahead right yeah um so yeah where are we at we're we're about an hour let's uh let's wrap
this thing up do you do you feel better i think this is a little therapeutic for you to get that off.
Yeah.
I feel bad that this podcast is turning us into bitching about PC people and Donald Trump.
And it's also weird when you're bitching about PC people and you're both very liberal people.
Yeah.
Like we're bitching about our people, essentially, for the most part.
Yeah.
So anyway, God, just give these two white middle class guys a break
america we deserve a break every now and then yeah and like my man richard spencer says
zig ho no like my man richard spencer says mahalo
absolutely absolutely um yeah but all that said everybody just uh understand that the joke's a
joke yeah and i get it there are some really terrible jokes but you you know it when you
see it it's like the supreme court said about pornography um oh you saw that loving movie
right by the way it's really good nice i haven't seen it i just uh we just watched the documentary
on uh hbo about it yeah i'd like that director it's the same director
that did mud and take shelter which is really good yeah and so is richard shannon in this not
michael shannon yeah he is in it he's in that all that dude all those yeah it's five of them i think

the other one's good it's just uh just you can wait to watch it at home.
Gotcha.

Watch the documentary on that.
The reason I brought that up is because they play the audio from the Supreme Court case in that,
which is really interesting.
