You put your head out. Look at this treasure. That's a, that's a, how much adjusting are you doing? We've started that we've been on the podcast for, this is going on for 11 years or when we've been on this podcast, it's like about that long. 11 years, this guy is like, there's so much adjusting and stuff like it's never been set up before.

Were you an athlete? And he spoke. Yes, I was a, no. See, there's a lot. No, no, no. I knew you were a fighter, where you went before I got to answer. The truth is, I was a wrestler. Oh, you were?

Yeah, look, I'll show you. Stop it. I did. You guys should be here. Talk about how to feel wrestling. Yeah, you want to wrestle? Yeah. I would rather watch you two wrestle.

Would you some light wrestle? No, no, no. No, look at it. I'll give you this picture that you can post it. It's not great. So I was in high school and i know that how tough it is i know when you when you speak uh... of getting down to what we're trying to get down to twenty to twenty

like i was in high school i was four foot eleven and uh... eighty nine pounds and i'm not sure if i'm not sure no twelve grade she's so so so, or 11th and 12th grade and, and then and I couldn't meet girls. You are a dwarf. I don't think that's the proper term. I think it is. A small person. Well, you are a small person. You didn't cry. I know. But you didn't grow your, your record. I called they called me TJ. I was tiny you You got to be politically correct, so but let me show you the tiny I was a tiny Jew and and I couldn't meet girls and I'm a here. I am here I'll show you some images of me and then you when did you have your growth spark?

An hour ago. No, I that's this is me look at me. I look like I'll look the main I look like a little girl which which camera look at that all right I can send you what this one chinkin bring you the man or the bring it up just go go howey mandel wrestler Google howey mandel wrestler his image the law wow yeah that's like you're like Samson you're like my mom my mom when before I got my license my mom used to drive me to school and guys used to try to hit, there I am, the first one. The guys used to try to hit on me and I'd go, I'm a guy.

The only way I met girls was, and girls wouldn't talk to me because they're so little, this is probably wrong of me to do, but I went into the, I would go into the ladies' bathroom and just brush my hair and the mirror, and then they'd start talking to me when they came out of the stalls. No.

And then I go, you know, I'm a guy. I'm a guy. I'm a guy. Is that a bad story to tell? No. No. You're a kid. You had great hair in your own.

So here's the thing. I couldn't get on any teams. So I, wrestling, there I am. But you have a good vibe. You're not in bad shape, Bob. No, I'm not in bad shape. So anyway, but listen, so I got into I said girls like athletes and they like guys in sports I couldn't get on the football team. I couldn't get into basketball or hockey. No, nothing

Figure skating but but I got into the wrestling team. They accepted me right away I didn't I thought because maybe they thought I had the acumen or the the athleticism right or the to do it But it's because I was under 90 pounds, which is a weight class. I didn't know that. And three months after I joined the team, I went up to 92 pounds, and they made me to stay under 90 pounds. They wrapped me in plastic and made me run for an hour

and I lose, so now I was just dizzy and I passed out. I was a little weight-of-the-art. Or it's really dangerous. Yeah, my mom came and yelled at them, she told them. But anyway, and then I thought, dizzy and I passed out and I was a little I'm afraid it's dangerous. It's really dangerous. Yeah, my mom came and yelled at them. She told them. But anyway, and then I thought, I'm going to meet girls because I'm on a team.

I didn't even think about what the uniform is. The uniform, as you can see, the picture is a onesie. So I've got this long, slow, like, say, single-ed, don't say onesie. What is a single-ed? It's a single-ed, dammit. Come on, be a little respectful of the sport. It's a single-ed. It sounds like if two singles fuck you out. Then they give birth to a single. Yes. I had a single it.

What? I've never heard of that. That sounds like a piece of a song. It's the rest thing. It's a single it. Did you wrestle? I did. What weight class?

I was my senior year. I was 139 I think. Were you good at it? Yeah. Were you good at how? At 89 pounds. I fought. I was a little bit.

I was a little bit. I was a little bit. I was a little bit. I was a little bit. I was a little bit. I was a little bit. I was 139 I think. Dude, were you good at it? Yeah. Were you good at 89 pounds? I fought other, so now I'm trying to meet girls, I'm wearing a singlet with long flowing hair and I'm rolling around as a germafob with other guys that I don't know sweating on. Were you a germafob back then?

My whole life. I've been born this way. I've been born this way. I was at the worst. So worst for a fucking wrestler. So what? I'm a phone back then. My whole life. I've been born this way. I was the worst, so worst for a fucking wrestler. So what, I'm here for a photo. Wrestling? Just hugging, I don't shake hands.

Now I'm hugging other 80 pound sweat dripping in my mind. Men in singlet. Not your sport. How do you play for a moment? No sport is my sport. Yeah. No sport is my sport. But you're a comic.

And by the way, I became a comic I wasn't a comic. I was thought to have had a Behavioral problem. They didn't know I got thrown out of that school well Brendan and I were talking about because we were talking about how good you are Comedy and people a lot of people may not know that the younger like generation that real I don't really like his Story I came off stage it fucking one of my best ever and and how we mandellas to fall man.

discounted something, and we don't have to travel. No! No, that's why, the only reason I'm here, I won't travel anyways because I live next door. Yeah, you do your stuff once. Yeah, I could walk here from where I live. Dang, that's insane. That's the same technology that they're doing with Michael

Jackson Elvis, like when he's on stage. This is better. Because that's done with something. This company originally did those kind of things and put Tupac at the Coachella, but that's called Pepper's Ghost. And Pepper's Ghost is when they take a clear film, and if you've ever been a Disneyland into the haunted house, that's that kind of technology. This is different, this is different, more high.

Well, you can be on stage with somebody, and that's that was Andy Kindler at JFL. That's fucking crazy. What made it amazing, how you said, you got in the thing, and the thing was right here, and it was so real. It's so fucking 3D. Oh, you saw it? Yeah, it's so 3D. Come to my office and you could so real. It's so fucking three, you saw it? Yeah, it's so three, these days.

Come to my office and you can see it. What's going on here? And you can do that, Logan Paul did it. Yeah, I'm telling you. But you can, all you need on your side is an iPhone. You know, the box can go anywhere. It's just an iPhone and an app. That's insane.

And you can be, you know, we're all over the place, all over the world. God damn. We have these boxes in Japan, in Taiwan, in London. How'd you get involved with that? Brodo. Honestly, I was on, I've got FOMO. I've, you know, fear of missing out.

So I live on the internet. And I'm always looking things up. And I saw this, this technology. And it won a couple of years ago, but three years ago, it won CES, the technology of the year at one at the, you know, the consumer's electronic show. And I saw it, so I just slipped into the DM and I just went, I love this and I think this is, this is the future, can I be involved? Can I, and you can have my image and do whatever you want, I just want to be involved. And I got friendly with the guy and now the head office can have my image and do whatever you want. I just want to be involved.

And I got friendly with the guy. And now the head office is at my office. I sit on the board and I invest it. And I've done that with a lot of things. I'm also an AI. I was the first known person to become, I'm with this company deep brain. My wife is mad at me because they're out of Korea.

And I allowed them to have me. They recreated me. They can have me, deep brain, no not deep brain stimulation. Isn't it called deep brain AI? Go deep brain AI. Deep brain AI. So I was thinking about like they can control me. They can have me show up anywhere and

They built me and so they can make you say anything I can make me say and do anything crazy Dude, but I figured in my age the wrong hands gets all dicey nice unlike my wife that the truth is I love technology I'm fascinated by anything that is really see all these people that you're seeing on the thing They're not real human beings These are all created human beings, but they just created they just created that it's so scary It's kind of scary right? Scary the future and scary at all with the AI and all this stuff. I love fear I'm fear is my is my life. I feel it. It really is. I love if I feel comfortable

Then I'm I feel dead, you love if I feel comfortable, then I feel dead. If I feel scared or worried or whatever, that's the few, there I am, deep brained this to me. So look, that's me, but it's not. That's more fused. That's not me. It's a little more fused. But did they have a video of me?

They might have a video of me. Oh, there you can watch that video. When people are lonely, if you wanna see your family, we have FaceTime now, but it'll be a matter of time before everybody in their house has that that a booth You can step into and you can share so much time together and it's life like it's so real. It's real time You see each other that's the one thing. That's true. Thank God But I want to see everybody. I don't want to be with anybody. I don't want to touch anybody But think about why you don't want to hug? No

Somebody with Therapy you can have a therapist you have you can't afford to go there You can have somebody you're sitting there They're there and you see a three-division. It's so real. It's well tell you what like even this is different You're talking about the hologram. Yeah, not the AI. I don't know. The AI is not me So it's not that's different and this is less interested in I'm more interested The reason I wanted AI to be totally honest with you and we've done it on my podcast. We have a commercial They program a commercial in and it's me. So I can be, I can go, let how we go do the commercial

for this guy's in in 2030. So I could be, I know, I could be here right now doing this podcast. And for all you know, I'm recording live a commercial for my podcast, Howie Mandel, does stuff in my studio, my son operates it. But the beaming, which we have for proto hologram, go on to the Instagram and you'll see it, but the beauty of that, like there's kids in ICU, like we gave it to St. Jude's,

and your families can go and visit family members. When on AGT, on AGT, we had people from all over the world their family members came and saw them live and interact with no latency. Wow. That's right. Pacquiao announced his next fight live. This is really funny.

He was someplace in Korea, Pacquiao himself. He was, I guess his next fight is a korean guy it was what it was already right was that yeah but they his last fight was a korean did you see the announcement yeah go pack is announced that's in my office so pack out was fighting a korean the korean was in van i's he was in korea live announcing and interacting to the soft they had to face off he was, he was beaming live. Look at the announcement.

That's my office. That's my office. Look, that's live. They're looking at each other. They're actually facing off. He sees him clearly. It's a matter of time before you don't even need that fucking, that booth.

That's what's gonna happen. No, right, that's what they're working toward. And we have it so they can, you know, we partnered with, we partnered with Christie's. Last week they did $1.5 million in art sales just off of the beam. The art wasn't there. People were auctioning $40 million sculptures right there.

I'm on the phone in any given day with Homeland Security with the Kennedy Space Center, everybody's getting on board. This is the next thing. And then the smallest thing is people are able to perform. Well, we're getting this every time. Yeah.

And some of the biggest people that you know in corporations and they've all got them now and bang. Well, think about this. If you're wealthy, this is probably a smaller market, obviously. But if you're a very wealthy family or you have a lot of money, you're a wealthy, this is probably a smaller market, obviously, but if you're a very wealthy family, or you have a lot of money, you're a corporation, and you wanna pay a celebrity to make an appearance

and just talk to people. You get to have a meeting with it, and they set one of those things up, and you've got somebody famous for your top executives, or for somebody who was so sustained. Because I know, as you know, and we're doing it all the time. Somebody just bought it for a bar mitzvah.

Yeah, but the truth is, that's what I mean. I knew a famous musician who, she, they paid her for $500,000 to fly to the person's living room, play five songs, and then leave. And it was like, or four songs or something. And, you know, they're not gonna,

there's nothing like the real thing. No, it's better be a lot cheaper than five. Yes, but you say that, except that when you are in the room with that thing and you are watching that thing, we've done live concerts with big names and one artist who couldn't make it is Beam Dinn. That thing gets a billion clicks on the internet, you know, the one where they're,

and the fact that you can like Ellen did in real time talk to them, you know, the one where they're, and the fact that you can, like Ellen did, in real time, talk to them, you forget it. Like in theory right now, you're going, well, I'm not gonna pay a half a million dollars for the box in my living room, but if that box is in your living room and you're talking to the artist and you're making requests

and you're actually doing it, it's not like a FaceTime call. You got real quality time and you're gonna get more out of that artist than a FaceTime call. You got real quality time, and you're gonna get more out of that artist than if they're in the room. Because they're comfortable, they're at home, you don't have to fly them out. The carbon footprint is so much better than they say.

If people don't have this, if only fans, people don't have this already, I'm gonna be very surprised. Think about that, it's gonna be only fans, we also sell a desktop version. Oh my gosh. You know what I'm saying though like like you you It's porn only fans. I'm surprised this they haven't jumped in on this. Oh, they got word and Van Ayes. Hello I don't know if you know that but Van Ayes is the porn capital. That's where my head offices

Is it still though? I thought I kind of died off there Is it still? I'm stupid. Where did it move, Tarzana? Where did it move to? I don't know. You thought it'd died off there? Farna? I thought it was. Really? It's only fans. So they don't need to be in fan eyes.

Like no one's going to Pornos sets. So on their house or wherever now. Yeah. I almost said artist, but the creators have started. There are artists. There are artists. It's because you don't appreciate it.

Oh no, I appreciate it. And I control the capital of the world. That was in 2014, it's actually. We need an update. Let's say where is the porn capital of the world now? But here's the thing about your technology. There's no capital of anything anymore. Anything can be anywhere with this kind of technology.

That's the beauty. We're getting to a point where it doesn't matter where you are. Beaman bone. In saying. Beaman bone. Beaman bone. In saying. Beaman bone. Beaman bone. Yeah, that's what I did. Dude, you just came over the great fucking business idea.

I did, I did. I'm like, you're always coming up with ideas. Always, that's why you're having me here. It's ideas. How many sats I'm playing some woven bands? Oh, okay. Start that diet my day. I could beam to somebody's living room in these bands.

I don't know if you'd get the reaction you wanted. Yeah. How many businesses are you involved in? I like business. Business is more interesting. I was saying to you, I've said to you before, my entrepreneurial spirit far outweighs my creative and comedy spirit.

Really? I love business. Well, because I think that that's an art form. From the time I was a little kid, I got knocked out of school. I wanted to stay in school, but they asked me to leave. I always wanted to make money. In fact, that's how I ended up here in California.

I had a bunch of businesses. I was in the carpet business, and I was in the lighting business. And then I had this Uncle Sherman Flasher doll, which I had the rights to in Canada Google uncle Sherman flash her doll So you got into the your family was in the carpet business now you got no I got into it I got a job at a warehouse selling carpet. This was my so the in in 1970 Oh for so So in 1970, so these are dolls that look like a... You open up that look, they said, you open up on the second row.

Yeah, they're click that. So you open up the trench code and as Dick comes out. So I thought I'm gonna make millions by bringing these up to Canada. This was in the seven. That's bad ideas, but you know what? Some ideas, works some ideas, talk. Did you make money on it?

No, so here's what happened. Well, that's now 40 bucks. They're selling it now. I think they were like 12 bucks. But so I got into this, I got into every fucking business. So this was a good novelty item in the seventies. Mint seven, think of it.

And then so I shipped them up to Canada and then they got stopped at the border as Like I was shipping porn pornographic Things so they got stopped at the border. So then I had a meeting with the manufacturers They would ship the ball they would ship the dolls and then the balls and nuts We would attach them in Canada. We would put them on so i got all these i got thousands of dolls shipped up to Canada and then to dixon balls but they got stopped at the border so i had all i had dixon balls at the border and i couldn't claim them so i came down here that's why i

was in california came down here to have a meeting with the guy about how we were gonna get the nuts over the border This true and then I knew Mike Mike binder Yeah, so Mike from Detroit had been at Yuck Yuck's because I had done a amateur night said Yuck Yuck's and he just while I was here on vacation Had me get up at the comedy store and there was a guy in the comedy store I never wanted I didn't think this was a career. There's a guy at the comedy store that was producing a game show called Make Me Laugh and he saw me up there

and he hired me that day and I did it and it was a great story. What do you talk about? You had never done stand-up and you just got up and did it? I my whole first five years of stand-up and my biggest quickest success was about nothing and it was just about the authenticity of who I was so I'll tell you I got I got dared I've told the story many times but I got dared to get on stage at Yuck Yuck in Toronto Toronto that's used to be the greatest club I don't know if it's still there anymore but there are yeah there's it's all right across Canada and Yuck Yuck are all across Canada because yeah

there's one in Calgary there's more than calgary now yes so so calgary at her on the main one it's a chain i don't know that my right now i'm not mark president mark but there was a there was a the very first one was in toronto and it was in the mid it opened in nineteen seventy five and it was like in the the before the boom of stand-up comedy but they open this club there and i again being this was like in the before the boom of standup comedy but they opened this club there and I again,

being this guy who didn't, I didn't drink, I didn't dance, you know, studio 54s and places like that were all the rage, you know, disco and clubbing and that. I don't play sports, so I didn't get a basketball drink. I didn't, I didn't, I didn't now. I got, now I did. You're drunk now. No, now I'm sober, but I drank later. But the, anyway, somebody said there's a stand-up comedy club.

I never went to see stand-up comedy. I go to this club and Mark Brezzlin, who was the host, said, if anybody wants to try this or they think they can do this, at midnight, we'll do three minute sets on Monday, we can have an amateur night. And somebody at the table said, you should get up and do it. And I went, okay, I'll do it. And that's how I am.

I don't have, I don't think of ramifications of anything. I just go. I just go. So it wasn't anything that I was pursuing. It's not, nobody I know is in show business. I didn't think there was even a career for me in it, but that was a dare that I took. And I don't think things through.

So if I had to analyze what I was thinking, I was thinking this guy fucking doesn't believe that I'll take him up on his dare. I'm gonna do it. And that night, no preparation, no nothing, no writing, no nothing. They go, ladies and gentlemen, how he manned hell. And I figure, I'll just walk out. That's the fucking joke. There's no reason for how he manned hell to be standing on stage on a mic in front of somebody. So they go, ladies and gentlemen, how he manned hell? And I walk out and the applause,

I think one or two people applaud, yeah, died out. And now I'm standing there with no concept of what no thought to what needs to follow. And I look down, you guys have all been on stage. I'm looking at the mic, the spotlight isn't my eye, and the front tables are just people just looking up. The strangers get really quiet, really uncomfortable. Strangers waiting to see, like, what the fuck are you gonna do, funny boy? And I got, and I said, this is my fuel, I got terrified in the moment.

And that terror just took over. And if you look at old YouTube videos of me, it's a very different persona than you're sitting and talking to right now, especially in comedy. I started going, okay, okay, all right, okay, all right. And they started giggling at my discomfort. And then I started going, what, what, okay, all right. You want to hear something weird?

Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Is that weird? And then, okay? I have an inside joke I'm just starting making shit up and then it's and then I was so fucking scared I put my hands in my pocket and in my pockets I have Latex gloves which I always carried because I always had OCD and if I'm out in public I don't want to go into a public restroom and touch something. So I carry gloves. So now I pull the gloves out.

I'm standing there and there's nothing fucking to do. So I pull the glove over my head and I start breathing. The fingers are going up and the audience is just roaring and roaring and then I blow it up with my nose and I pop it off my head. The audience goes crazy and I had the wear with all to go, good night! I walk off the stage.

Remember all of this? I walk off the stage and Mark Brezzlin says to me, you gotta come back tomorrow. I go for what? What's tomorrow? He goes do it again. And I go do fucking what? He just do what you do.

And I started showing up a couple of times a week and I would look forward to it. I didn't write anything, you know, the baby voice and the bob baby voice and the bobby voice and all these things that I did that because I was at a birthday party and I was choking on a piece of cake. You know, that's, I talk about it in my act. And you know how when you take a balloon, you blow up a

balloon and then you stretch the nipple and the air comes out. So that's what the cake was halfway down my throat. And I was going, help me, help me, everybody was laughing and I was dying. But then I learned to do it in my room, just the muscles in my throat. I can just squeeze my throat. That's not, I'm not talking falsetto with my voice. That's just, if I lose my voice completely, I can't throw through this. You know, and so I just started doing that voice on stage

and I knew it was a baby voice because I had that, but I would just talk filthy. You know, I just thought it was funny to say, can't, you know, and that would get a laugh. That's all it was, you know, but I didn't have an act, but that's what I'm talking about. What a natural thought. But people, when I came here,'t have an act, but that's what that's what I'm like. What a natural thought. What a what a what a but people when I came here, there was an incredible amount

of animosity because that show make me laugh. I got a lot of notoriety because I would do I would be like you're not a real comic not saying anything. All that's and all these people you remember all these people have been working really hard and then and then yeah, that's me at the beginning. Look at the evening at the improv. Just watch me for one second on that.

That's just me. I remember this all of this. Yeah. That's it. Just scared. So people thought it was on cocaine or a mental case? Yep. Yep.

Anyway, you don't have to watch anymore of this, but you got the idea of just whatever came to mind. And then I got a a you were putting what was going on your head in your body and everything because I don't think of ramifications I just act. But it works and with the emotion and and what what I learned like at that time I came out here and you know Richard prior was going on every night putting together live on the sunset strip. And I watched him every fucking night

and it was the most amazing. And he was the first person that I was aware of that was talking about real shit. Like real, and what was going on? And you would see those nights, sometimes it became live on the sunset strip, me, it came brilliant. But you'd watch him, like just people in the audience they were their jaws would drop he had just almost died from free-basing you you wear that

that happened but he had just got out of the hospital when he was writing this he was standing on stage and found it with bandages on his now yeah he said himself on fire in fact there was a joke that everybody even did, but, you know, he did it first. He'd like a match. He'd like a match and go, what is this? Yep. And it's Richard Pire, me running down the street.

Yep. But he did that first. Yep. Which was, he's standing there, okay. He's standing there with the bandages on and people instead of laughing, which is, oh my God, because he almost died. Yes. And this is the 70s.

It's not now, we become very callous and very, it's really hard to shock an audience. But he showed me that whatever he was thinking, whatever he was doing, and however dark it was, it was just real. It wasn't like, at know, at the time, I mean, if he was following in anybody's footsteps before that, it was like Bill Cosby,

who made up these bogus little stories about family and his brother, Noah's Ark, and things like that. But he said, fuck it, I can't do that. I can't do TV comedy. I'm gonna tell real stories. I'm gonna tell real stories. I was raised in a brothel by my grandmother. I've had drug addiction problems. I've had relationship problems. He was the first person, first comic, maybe Lennie Bruce, but really him, to bring all the

people from his family and neighborhood to life. It was a one-man show. He made them real characters. And like that was never really done. That was like very theatrical. So he brought like the pimps and he brought his uncle And he brought the drunks and everybody to life, but even subliminally even if those characters even if you found them funny You knew they were real and tragic and you knew these really happened and these are people he knew more importantly His audience was a lot of white people and I think what what I noticed and what I was thought about was that he brought his neighborhood and his people and the ghetto, or at least the lower socioeconomic, you know, a class of black Americans into the living room of the average white American. And a lot of ways, man, that kind of gave the two things. One, American whites and people went,

wow, those people are just like my uncle, just a little different accent. That person has the same problems that my mother has. And so it made him human. Yeah, he made him human. He democratized that. And then there was a whole Comple movement of young black comics. Yeah from Eddie Murphy to ship hell to all the people who said man

That might be a film he's their god. He's their god and to a lot of white comics Well for me you don't see you don't see anything in my comedy that you would personally from the outside relate to But watching the him do that every night said, you know what? I'm garnering success in kind of dealing with what I'm dealing with in the moment instead of being the word Smith, trying to write a joke about politics, trying to write a joke about a commercial. Try it. I, he kind of took away some of the fear, but which I needed the fear.

But he took away some of the fear of just being, like, I don't understand, I'm lost. I, I, I, like, what, what, what, you know. Did you ever see Pauli Shore? He came on Mad TV first year in 1995. Pauli told a story about his mother and how his mother had a boyfriend that he and his brother fought and it was a true story about true family dysfunction.

He told her on that TV. On that TV. Crushed. Crushed. And the crazy thing was it was 100% true and if you read it in a book, it would be a tragedy. It would have been, it would have been, oh my God. And he brought it to life. And the way he did it, I'm probably sure, loser.

And he went through this whole thing. That was great. And man, it was like the first time I kind of realized, I can bring something real instead of doing, I do all the tricks and stuff because I just didn't think I had anything interesting about me, you know. But you realize that people

subliminally attach themselves to what they believe is authentic. If it's real, that's the difference between somebody who is a writer, who is not a performer, and a performer. And if you're going to engage your audience as a performer, they gotta have some connection or something to engage with.

And that's what I was just an an I didn't miss a moment of him but beyond that when I when I And this is why there was a lot of resentment in the room when Make me laugh aired. I started getting called by the Talk shows not that tonight show but Merv Griffin and Mike Douglas, which were old talk shows. Young people probably don't even know those names.

Do you know those names? You know those names. So I did the Merv Griffin show, and then when I did the Merv Griffin show, flew back to Toronto, I was still doing my business. I had carpet stores. I had everything. And I got called at their height from Gene Simmons of Kiss. And Gene Simmons called me and said, fuck, you're funny, fuck. And I go, thank you.

Gene fucking Simmons is calling me. He goes, yeah, we were watching you last night on Merv Griffin, me and my girlfriend. And she wants you to come open for her in Vegas. And I went, okay, who's your girlfriend? And he was living with Diana Ross. And I became Diana Ross's opening act. What?

As Cesar's palace. What? What? Yes, the fuck out of here. I'm with my girlfriend. And at this time, are you passed by the comedy store? Like, did you audition for Mitzi? Which I'm going to call it put me on Mike Binder put me on. That guy offered me a TV show. I didn't understand that I was passed by Mitzi. I was and I was also passed by Mitzi. It wasn't big deal because 90% of the people at that

moment were not playing the comedy store because it was right in the midst of the strike. I was there the night when a guy by the name of, I think it was Michael LeBettkin, LeBettkin, jumped off the roof of the high side. Right there, I was there. I was at the club that night. I had to come so I jumped off off the high at next door using it was a comic talking spot was a comment he not getting spot you know there was there was a rival where he between uh... the improv in the comedy store and jaylenna was kind of the forefront of that right jaylenna was probably the only for that is Steve lebedgan

steve i thought it was michael yeah yeah and he left a note to to mitsi he did he died on He died on the ramp going up to the hotel right beside. He was trying to jump onto the comedy store. He landed on the ramp. Steve. Yeah.

Steve, that a bummer. That is a bummer. Don't do it. Go back then, right? So I was there that night, June 1st, 1979. He was, because there was a rivalry between improv and comedy store, right? And then, because he started paying, and she, I don't know if you know the history of the

comedy store. So the history of the comedy store was she wanted in a in a divorce, right? And he did. Oh, he did. Yeah. Yeah. So Sammy Shore, you know, Sammy Shore, you know who Sammy Shore was? Polly's dad, Sammy Shore was Elvis Presley's opening act.

I didn't know any of that. Yeah. He was Elvis Presley's opening act. He was a comic any of that. Yeah, he was Elvis Presley's opening act. He was a comic, Sammy Shore. You read it and I didn't. I did. That's the, there he is, Polly's dad. So Sammy Shore opened this club. It used to be called Searows, you know, which was the hot supper club in Hollywood, where

it is. That's where all the big, the biggest of show business used to go as a supper club and the bands used to play. If you watched Ricky and Lucy, I forget that movie that just came out, they won the Academy Award for. That's where he played. He played at Theros, he would do Babaloo, and that was a club that he would play at in real life. That's where that show came to life. He bought the front room of that as a club when he was home and all his friends who were these Vegas comics and that would work there when mitsi and sammy got divorced she won the business he implored his friends not to play that room anymore so she

had nobody there so she got all these young people for free you know you can go up and try your where's if you think you can be a comedian, and that was Jimmy Walker and the beginnings of... Letterman, everybody. Yeah, David Letterman, but all these people who were unknown. You didn't go for that though. Yes. It was before that.

She has great pictures of who's the guy from Chico and the man? Paul Mooney, Paul Mooney. Paul Mooney, Chico and the man. Freddie Prince, Freddie Prince. And then what happened was all these bookers would come in the man. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince.

Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince.

Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince.

Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. Freddie Prince. and Robin Williams ended up doing happy days and got more can-mindi and David Letterman was a lot later. Did you know Robin? Yeah, well, yeah, did you see him perform a lot there a lot? Yeah, right at the beginning right at the beginning. He was a manic guy, huh depressed. I Didn't know him that well as far as being I don't know that people know he was depressed at the end, you know, he was His depression was because of a biological, physical, ailment. Yeah. But I think everybody that I know that has funny in front,

has darkness behind it. I don't know anybody that doesn't agree. You know, and I think most humans do, and I think that people who push their funny forward are people. I get questions like that. Like young people say, do you have any, I want to get in the stand up and, you know, I don't have any advice. I couldn't, the only thing I say to them is I go, look, it's going to take forever.

But start by, I think I'm right when I say this, I always say, start by asking yourself personal questions. Like what are you afraid of? Let's start with that. What, how do you want to die? How do you not want to die? You know, who are you pretending to be? Who are you really?

Do they ask you if they have to have like some sort of darkness? Sometimes, but I don't know about, I think the deeper you go with yourself, you're going to find the things that matter the most to you. And maybe comedy comes from something like, you know, a lot of times you're just, the world is fucking terrifying. And so is the future, because you can't predict it. And sometimes, you know, the way to cope with that,

and also the way to cope with not being picked for the team. In general, I'm not just talking about sports, you know. But I think all of us, as comics, have to feel like we are a little too small or big for our clothes. And a little bit outcast, or at least, I don't think it's possible, I don't think it's possible to like yourself across the board.

When you and I talked about this, that'll be... Can't be comfortable on your own. I just don't think it's possible to like yourself across the board. I don't think anybody does. I don't think own. I just don't think it's possible to like yourself across but I don't think anybody does. I don't think anybody does. I don't think everybody is uncomfortable. I think the reason you get up in the morning

and comb your hair and buy your weird pants is because you want to present yourself differently than just your messed up regular naked self. And the truth of the matter is, I think that's good advice, but my advice is just do it. And people say, how do I make it? And for me personally, and I'll never forget the date,

was April 17th, 1977, April 19th, I'm not forget the date, and I said, April 19th, 1977, was that dare when I got up on stage. And with no intent of making this a career. But it was the first time that for lack of any knowledge or any skill or anything, I was totally authentic in the moment in as far as being terrified and displaying my terror and displaying my awkwardness and my goofiness publicly. And having through laughter and applause, having strangers embraced me, I didn't have a lot of friends as a kid, I wasn't ever invited

to anything. I was, and I've spent my life trying to recapture that moment. So then when they say, how do I make it in this business? For me, how do you make it in life? You do something that excites you. And if people didn't know my name, and you weren't inviting me on your podcast, and people never saw me on TV, that would be okay. I swear to you, it'd be okay.

As long as I found something and that's what I found, that opportunity by accident that just being on stage and doing it. And if I could be a waiter and then twice a week show up at the comedy store and just do that, I think most of us wake up each and every day, a lot of us wake up each and every day with the doldrums of just existing and maybe working to pay the rent, but not doing anything that excites and not doing anything that they have to look forward to. You know, you think it's also making it,

I can be on a, I told you, I was on a hit TV show. Yeah. I started out with Denzel Washington on, on, on, say elsewhere. All right. And eight years later, you were on my podcast, I talked to you about this. Eight years later, I was in auditions on folding chairs and casting offices looking for five lines in under. I almost quit the business right before I did the, the, the, the, the, so this

notoriety, people knowing who you are, people writing a check you it goes away goes away like that so that can't be what you chase yeah it's got to you got to chase what you love what you're passionate about you know and you got to just do it and you end and you know if you get Some recognition if you get a dollar that's gravy some recognition if you get a dollar, that's gravy. But you've got to do what you like. What would you say is, because all of us are chasing money, to an extent, or I shouldn't say that. All of us are chasing certainty, like to an extent.

So it's nice to have enough money in the bank so you kind of don't have to worry, right? You know, you're good. I think everybody has the ability to have enough money in the bank to not worry. Absolutely everybody. My favorite book I ever read years and years ago was Rich Dad Poor Dad. His philosophy is, my generation was, you go to college, you get a degree, and then with

that degree, you will get a job that will allow you to get paid enough to sustain. I don't think that theory works. I think right now, college, aside from being a trained professional, whether you're a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer or something, is going to put you in debt before you even start. And you may never get out of the debt. And never get out of that debt. My theory or his theory was every fucking dollar you make, every dollar that you make in life and even if you make it on a minimum wage job, think of that as an employee. How can that dollar make me another dollar? And that's why my entrepreneurial spirit, as I said before, outweighs my creative spirit.

And from day one, when I moved here you know I did not spend you know I didn't have a lot of money when I started on same elsewhere which was an NBC series I was getting not a lot of money to really because I had a manager I had an agent I was getting I'll be honest I was getting twenty five hundred dollars an episode and I was getting twenty episodes a year so that's sixty thousand dollars because you saw thirty or money after taxes and all the other shit right yes so twenty thousand dollars i had a wife i was making twenty thousand dollars a year in living in l.a. that's below the

poverty line i abot a used black and white tv for eight dollars that's what i had a little apartment but what i did at that time because it is i had five i say the five,000 in the bank and I bought a term deposit. I bought a CD for 12% for 10 years. My wife got mad at me because there was only 600 left in the bank, but I was doing spots

for $25 at the same time as I was doing that. I was just talking to Rich about his daughter living in New York. I said, if you're making, she's an intern on a show. I said, if you're making a certain amount of money, find somebody that you wanna bunk with, go get a two bedroom apartment, this person you wanna bunk with, share the room with, and then rent out the other room in the apartment

so that your rent is free. Just find creative ways to try to make your dollar. You're not just spending money, but that money you're spending, I got an income coming in, that's even covering my expenses. And I think that everyone has the capacity. If you think that way, you have to think that way. You have to, it's a, you know,

if somebody comes out of college and they get a job for a hundred grand a year, most people traditionally will buy, some place in the world will buy a two or three hundred thousand dollar home, which means they're buying a, you know, a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand dollar debt. You make a hundred thousand dollars a year

that is afforded you the ability to, don't buy any debts. You don't have to leave your dream right now. You don't have any debt? No. Wow. Wow. I won't buy debt.

Well, you know, just by owning you buy debt because you have to pay property, pay insurance, you have to pay insurance, you have to pay, my expenses are really high, but I don't buy debt. But you never been a spender, right? You don't know cars, no. I do have now, but I do really well.

I have, I'm a big spender. I mean, it's all relative. What is your advice? Are you like cars? Do you like how? Real estate, real estate? I love real estate But real estate to say that make money out what you're making money out I will buy something that I use but also make money

So you were at where I do my podcast, but there's also renters there Proto is there. There's people Paying the overhead and I would have to pay for an office. You're paying for this space, you're paying monthly for this space. And this space is also making you money. But maybe you can figure out ways to even bring somebody else in here and charge them. Well, every room you see, they have to pay, even if I'm on the show, telling the show, the show pays a rent. Yeah, rich dad poor dad. So there's anybody even if you're making 15 bucks an hour. And how I what are you doing with that 15 bucks an hour?

I would imagine if you look at people that are making much less money than you or I, you look at how they're spending their money and you go what the fuck are you doing? Yes. Why are you doing this or this is the apartment? This is where I want to live. I live is sure. But, you know, I enjoyed finding a dollar is an employee. You know how they say it takes money to make money?

You know what's fucked up? Is I read that book? And I don't remember any event. That's where that's where, because I was told my whole life I wasn't a businessman, which is really, really annoying. And I- I told me that to do it.

I define myself that way, but it's a stupid way to think. But this is the point. I don't know if people think it's in. Have they come from that culture? No, no, no, but that's our culture. Because our culture, I'm so pissed off in school that they don't teach real economics. Because it's not that it's, I say this so many times, it's fourth grade math. If you know how to add subtract, add and subtract. That's all you have to do.

Right. Maybe multiply sometimes. That is all you need. There are so many people your age, my age, that go, okay, I'm ready to buy a house. What can I afford? How much of a mortgage can I afford? Why don't you know what you can afford? It's so simple. And I think people overthink it. You know, overthink investing in real estate. Overthink it. No, no. No one taught. But you don't, you really,

you think there's something more to being in business. There isn't. If you buy something for five cents and you sell it for 10 cents, you made five cents. If it costs you this much to record the podcast and you have so many advertisers that are paying this much to record the podcast, and you have so many advertisers that are paying this much to advertise in it, then this is how much money I'm making.

If I'm making this money, this percentage can pay the rent here. But maybe I don't have to pay the rent here because I got two other podcasts that are paying the rent here, even though I'm on and making money on that. It's just adding. Every dollar you spend,

the dollar that you spend in rent on this place, those dollars are, because you have this space, people are paying you rent on top of your rent. That's like renting out the closet space in your apartment. It doesn't matter how, it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger. Are your kids like this? Absolutely. My kids are rock burning up.

His son's waking up like two in the afternoon. He's like, the fuck man, you know, my kid's up. What are you doing? Like grow up, but you got to get a job. He goes, hey, dad pulls out a check from his pocket. He goes, that's a $20,000 check. Okay, I was working last night. He's like, doing fucking what?

And you do? He said, I was throwing balloons off the building. I go, why is that a fucking job? And then he explained to me his job. Well, what he learned, originally he started in YouTube and he was a YouTube Alex Mandel. He's got, he had following, in a bit of a following. But then he said, oh wait, but all these other influencers

that I met at VidCon, they have to produce shit every day, and they need content. What if I came to them with my ideas and my equipment, and I helped them shoot content, and then I said, I'll take a piece of your ad revenue. So he's making ad revenue, and it's other people, and whether it's producing a podcast, whether it's producing somebody's YouTube video

or Vine it was or you know that's what he does and he created the mouth guard challenge and a lot of other things that you see on a lot of it. You created the possibility as brain. You got some people have to just tell you that this belongs to you too. But it's really easy. My daughter owns a lot of the daughter that Jackie Shultz who does she owns a lot of houses that she rents out. She bought a house and then fixed it up and rented it out.

And it pays the rent pays for more than the mortgage. So she's making money every week. You want to, the one thing that you can't guarantee is what tomorrow is going to bring. And whether you're gonna be able to get up and go to work. Figure out how your dollar, which you do have in your pocket, if you can't get out of bed, how is that dollar gonna make you money

if you can't get out of bed? And my whole goal, because I did not trust show business, I didn't trust any business, is that if I can't show up for work, I still need money. I still need to eat. I still need to pay my rent. I still need to close myself. How's to pay my rent. I still need to close myself. How's that going to work? And you don't, I'm telling you, you just think

you do and your brainwashed into thinking that you got to be smart or you have to have a certain acumen to do it. You don't. You don't. And if you look at the seedest businesses in the world, they're not college graduates. You know, there are people just dropouts that are making that a promise. Because they figured it people who just drop out that are making the progress. Because they figured it out, just do it. Nike's got it, just do it. I figured it out. So fucking true.

Instead of getting into the psychology issue, just... Oh, and you think that these people are above you and they know more than you, and I just didn't go to school for that, and I didn't learn the equation. The equation is, two plus two is four. Here, here, Steve Jobs say that. Steve Jobs said, when I figured out that everything around me

was made by people no smarter than I was, everything opened up for me. Like I was like, damn, that's pretty cool. So he didn't have reverence. Elon Musk creating PayPal. Do you understand what PayPal is? Do you understand what he was doing? He just found it isn't crazy.

No, no, no, no, tell me. But it's nothing. No, it's nothing. It's brilliant crazy. No, no, no, no, no, tell me. But it's nothing. No, it's nothing. It's nothing. It's brilliant. So what, what's that? I was always, I was raised in a very unhealthy, that's not my parents fault, they were raised the same way.

A lot of us are raised to have reverence for people of, so so for I always grew up thinking that person's much smarter than me. That person is way, just has more focus than me, just a thousand things, right? And so the only thing that kept me going was my ego probably, or just I just wanted to be good at things so I would work hard and I'd fucking scramble and stuff.

But, but having said that, I just always thought that people who were good at business, that was their gene, They were made for that. That was what they were good for, and I don't have it. I don't have it. That's the same thing as that. That's our whole society, whether it's an Instagram, you look at everybody on Instagram.

You were drawn and think their whole goal is so that you believe that they're better than you. They're better looking than you. They're living a lifestyle better than you. And that's what we gravitate. And we think that's amazing. And then look what they have and I don't have. And I want to attain what they have.

And I want to attain it so much that I'm going to fuck up my nose and get implants and because I want to look like that. Or you sit back and hate on them. That's all there is to you have to offer. Hate on that is your own insecurity about yourself. If you're hating on them. You're actually hating on yourself Of course, it doesn't get you out of it. It's a nice job. No, so that's a you know if they're hating on me

And they're knocking me even though this is easy for me to say then I'm doing something right because I realize that through social media I'm doing really well. You are they're engaging you know you're doing well. You know you're doing do you not think you're doing well? I don't know how you you really don't know. I don't know. I know I'm doing well. You know you're doing. Do you not think you're doing well? I don't know, howie. You really don't know. I don't know. I know I'm doing well compared to the first. Where are you from? Denver Colorado.

And did you grow up with money? No, not at all. Not at all. So you, talk about just doing it. You know, first of all. Yeah, you're a guy who does it. First of all, I look at any sports game. And this always fascinates me.

You go to any game, yours was football. So you go to football and you go to a Rams game and you see like 30 people on the field and you have 30 fucking people, 30 people. Millions of people are in these little leagues and they want to play and they play after school and they play in high school. And these 30 guys, these 30 guys and they want to play and they play after school and they play in high school. And these 30 guys, these 30 guys, did they make it or did they just do it? Because most people aren't gonna pursue that.

They're not gonna push. Maybe there's people that are more talented than those guys and better and stronger, but they didn't, just like I know at the comedy store, there was a lot of people when I showed up at the comedy store that are a lot funnier, a lot more talented, a lot better than me, but they didn't have the stamina. You know how to stay in power, yeah.

They don't have stamina, you know, it's like if you're a boxer or a fighter, it's that I'm sure you've been hurt really bad. And through that pain, you have the wear with all to stand up and keep going and wear out the other guy Yeah, that's a great analogy for life That's the difference between people who make it and don't make and making it is all relative That's what I'm saying. Yeah, we were watching somebody kill myths this guy who killed myths you and I and then he was just I was like Jesus Christ man. Who knew he was that good and then he was just pop up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up I'm a parent, but what I'm saying is successful, I mean, your kids turn out good. My kids turn out, I think your only job as a parent is to create or help mold people

that can like the dollar, that can live and be productive without you. And I think that so many people in your generation, your generation, how old are you? Well, I'll be 40 in March. Yeah, so too many people in your generation and I don't know about the community that you came from, but there's a lot of people who are overly coddled. Oh, great.

And they think that's really good parenting. But what happens is when that codling goes away, it's kids are screwed. They don't know how to do it. So adversity is a good thing. Adversity and pain, no pain, no gain, it is the good thing. So all my kids at this point, they don't need me.

I love them, that's my light of my life, but they don't need me. They can all three earn a living on their own. They can take care of themselves and they can take care of their kids. And i think it's like the bird that pushes the baby bird out of the that the nest got a lot they got a fly here here to your computer's needs going through how he had been i think i'm like in the hospital almost

that coma he he went he had that addiction right and his his his he had both his family members daughter and wife were very, very sick. And he was just at the end of it. And he, he's quietly, there's this clip that I watched over and over again. And he said, you know, somebody asked, what is the life is suffering? You know, life onto some degree is suffering. And he said, what is the anecdote to that? And one would say, I suppose one would say it's comfort.

But that's kind of what you act out when you swaddle a baby, a better anecdote to suffering might be an adventure to excellence. And the bravery of a mother is to be able to say to her child, get out of here, away you go, kid. And then the kid goes, no, but it's dangerous out there. And mom says, yeah, you but it's dangerous out there. And mom says, yeah, you bet it is dangerous out there. It's more dangerous if you stay here. Because out there you might lose your life. You might lose yourself. But you stay with me, you

might lose your soul. It's kind of a fucking deep thing. And I was like, woo, Mike dropped moment. Like a bad mom. Yeah you know, yeah, yeah, so I'm so sorry that's harder to do though. We need music over it. Yeah, yeah, but I don't like how serious you got I know serious little little little God though I listen to that I was like fuck man, but everything is that way What a way to get to this from your pants, right? Here we are welcome to find that's what he does there That's like wearing a hair shirt. Do you know what a hair shirt is?

No, I know what a alligator shirt is. In the middle ages, they used to wear a hair shirt. So you, it was your way of suffering with Christ. The idea was Christ suffered for your sins. So you would wear a shirt that was, it was made of like coarse, bull hair or something, just like that. On your naked skin and you were always itching and always uncomfortable.

All the gods already do that to me. Yeah, and it was your way of being, you know, penance, it was penance, continual penance. Wearing a hair shirt. Yeah, so you can keep price offering in your mind. Oh no, it was bad. Oh yeah, that's bad.

Not terrible. Oh, but when it's hot, that's a motherfucker. Hair? Oh no, it was bad. Oh yeah, that's bad. Not damn. Oh, it's about, but when it's hot, that's a motherfucker. Hair shirts. Yeah, a hair shirt. You never heard of hair shirts? No, man. No. I doubt anybody listening or watching this right now

has heard of hair. Like you say it like that comes up in conversation. You gotta go run, gotta pick up my hair shirt and then drive me here. You guys sound about hair shirts? No. When you wash a hair shirt, do you blow dry it or do you just thing it out to dry?

You don't wash it. You keep it very dirty, very dirty, made of animal hair. I don't hear a lot of things with the word hair in it. Well, that's probably true. I hear it. Should we do some kind of hair roll? Curent event.

Yeah. Okay. Let's get it. Let's do comments on what's going on the world here. So we start with the one that we got. Sometimes we can talk about the about air the 22 year old That was playing basketball as a 13 year old. Yes, that one. She was a coach too. Why why did she do it? Just to win the game the girl to win the game and the girl that she's replacing was out. Yep. She was out for the day

So they had a star player that was gone. They weren't gonna win the game So she went in she took it for the team She's not that much bigger. She is than everybody. I wish I had. She's not that much bigger. Look, there she is. You know, that's a good angle back to the other one too. You know what's amazing? I have a 54 stick.

No, but what? You know what? They're big girls. That's not nice. They're big girls. No, I'll go back to the next picture. You're being noticed. Yeah, you are. Go go right there. That would bother me more about her is how blurry her face is. Yeah, it's like a UFO.

It's a UFO, what the fuck is going on? I'm not talking a name to it, I can't find her face anywhere. Well, they probably blurred it on purpose. Why? I don't know, cause they're all shit. So they should've blurred it, so nobody would know she was 22. Yeah, they had to forfeit the whole season, too.

I don't know, did you know that? I'm pretty sure that the whole thing was for an event, we know that. I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been did you know that i'm pretty sure that the whole event we know that i'm just always preach to the kids about integrity and those types of things so i was just shocked the father of the thirteen year old said all the father that the one that the father of the girl that wasn't who i would be that are to if the only replacement for my kid was the actual

coach yeah i wish i wish i had on tape and I wish you could see Michael rapaport Coaching my nephew my nephew's middle school team With his own kids on it and how passionate this fucking guy would get swearing like he did not give two fucks Michael be like Guys, you know, he'd be there. I'm like, I don't need this shit. I'm waking up early in the morning. You guys aren't hustling We got how old are the kids? They were like fucking you know 12 13, but they all fucking love the guy They loved him. He was the greatest coach. Michael is so passionate even the parents were like He's swearing the guy cares more about my kids than I do. Yeah, and it was just about he would lose his

Parents said that 100% I don't think I think 95 He'd be crying practical back. What the fuck? Rapboard's passionate with anything. Oh my god. Oh, I The where this person did this look at the name of the high school It was a church. Yeah church land church land. I heard truckers. I lied in church land. I mean there has to be So the coaches both coaches assistant the one that actually Pretend it to be the girl she got fired and the head coach got fired. That's fascinating But she won and that's all that really yeah it's

fascinating what are the people the way without you can I see the comments with people thought let's see what the average person thought there's 130 130 30 y'all the four go the remainder of the season what what what what what click on comments click on the underlying part yeah there there you go parents of the current players on the team would have recognized the coach on the floor the current players must have thought it have recognized the coach on the floor. The current players must have thought it was a swell idea. You're right, they found her out.

Everybody goes, I don't see this, she identifies as 13-year-old. I love that. My pronoun is kid. I mean, come on. But no, why can't we do that? Now, no rules apply if you're in the protected class. Keep teaching those great morals. What does that mean? Now, they're black or something. I don't know what that now. No rules apply if you're in the protected class. Keep teaching those great morals. What does that mean?

Now they're black or something. I don't know what that means. No, has anyone checked to see if she identifies? That's a running joke. This has anyone checked to see if she identifies, they're killed and then this great comment. You may have to go through ESPN to find these things out because ESPN's like, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wow, that's funny. Did you ever have, did you ever have, did you ever have, an opponent's parent fell in for whoever your opponent was? No, never. When you fight somebody's mom, you never did that? No, no, no. Did your parents, like, how old were you

when you first started fighting? I was in my 20s. So they started late. But did families get involved? Did they get, like, he talked about Michael like with somebody because you Probably fuck some people up. Yeah, and like their wife or their mom or their brother No, never cuz there's such a I think that level at the UFC like they know what they signed up for I did have a time Where I fought this guy Lovar Johnson and he was like in a a biker gang like legit biker gang a well-known biker gang

and he was like in a biker gang, like legit biker gang, a well-known biker gang, and I beat him up, and then I'm in the hotel in the lobby having drinks with my family, and his biker gang walks in, I bump my brother, and I'm like, get ready to go, man, they're about to fsup. These are rough dudes, and he walks in, and I'm like, oh, come on, dude, be cool. And then he went to the other end of the bar,

I'm like, that's weird, and they came to me, like, ah, good fight, man. We had a T-JR boy had a wrestle, huh? I'm like, oh, wow, cool. I'm like, that's weird. And they came to me like, I get fight, man. We had a T-Jaw boy had a wrestle, huh? I'm like, oh, cool. We had drinks. That's crazy. That's all we're gonna have, bro. That's what people understand though.

There's respect. Yeah, that's scary. I'm just seeing a loved one get hammered. It's gotta be hard for me. Oh, awful. Yeah, awful. Oh man, I'd be there. It's my boy, like, one of my best friends watching him fight

and you're so nervous, you know. Rogan's he hated it. I hated it. I watched you train so hard. Your whole life would be trained, trained, and in fighting huge guys in practice that would show up that his coach would pay some monster kickboxer, he'd be like, if you can knock him out,

you get an extra $3,000. So he'd be some stranger who was a professional fighter walking, who they were gonna spar, and he was gonna try to knock his fucking head off. And he wouldn't really wear a head gear, the other guy would. He put in a mouthpiece, and they would just go. And I was like, what the fuck is this? I remember you getting your, he's getting his hands wrapped up

and he looks at me and he goes, you wanna be a fighter, huh? This is what I deal with. I was like, in practice on a Wednesday morning, you got this fucking monster coming in, who's six foot six and wants to kill you. What the fuck is this? And it wasn't like they were gonna just move around. The guy was trying to knock his fucking head off. That's how you have to practice when you're a fight.

Like keep that training. In training they would be really good. Yes, keep that training. Aren't you more of an asset? Why would you want to fuck up an asset? Because just real fights that. The fight they want to make practice as tough as possible so the fight's easy. That makes sense.

Not really. It's the same thing when you talked about hitting gloves because you're not really hitting gloves has nothing to do with the actual fight. No, you're right, but at that level, it's like they want to put you in the worst case scenario so the fight's easy. That was what, 10, 15 years ago.

Now the games evolved where guys aren't going as hard. CTs can be here in any minute now. Brain trauma. That's why we're these pants. Do you have a big lasting injury? No. Nothing. Maybe the only person I've ever met the only athlete who played football doesn't have any interest he has been nuts and nothing how long did you play football? start playing tackle football on a six.

How do you guys make you more jobs? They've been married 42 years What's the secret what's the secretary to this relationship? You go on the road a lot. Yeah, yeah

Out of the house. She's not here. Do you see her here? I love you honey. I planned another tour Bye-bye. Bye. Yes. More money. More, it's more money and being away. This COVID almost fucked us up. I said, you want to redo our,

redo our vows. Her vows was enough already. Dude, that's true. There's a fucking metal. There's a house, by the way. You didn't go anywhere. No, nowhere. No, where. Oh my god. That's where I found, that's where, for three years ago, that's where I found holog fucking man. I was a fucking housewife. Oh, with being? You didn't go anywhere. No, you didn't. No, where?

Oh my God. That's where I found, that's where, for three years, that's where I found holograms. I was looking for any way to go places without going places. Wow. Yeah, you were just completely, I, paranoid. I wasn't at all. I got it three times.

But you, you were. I got it. I've got it once. You were afraid of it. Did you? No, I'm afraid of giving it to others. Pardon me? Did it hit you hard? Not that hard. You were afraid of it. No, I'm afraid of giving it to others. Pardon me?

Did it hit you hard? Not that hard. My biggest fear is not getting, for COVID, was that I would give it to somebody that has, that's somewhat compromised and I would be responsible for somebody else's illness. I don't want to be responsible for you getting sick. Right. Yeah, well, that makes sense. Does it? Yeah.

Good. It depends on how you look at it. Is that the only, there was only one good thing. No, no, yeah, more general. There's only one current event. No, we have plenty. We have plenty. I like your training.

How is all like relaxed and enjoying this? Why are people not relaxed here? No, you're great. There is. I know that he partnered with CPR. So this is him partnering with American Heart Association to promote CPR training, but the beauty of this is just him in the video. Like, you know, we thought he was kind of like,

we thought he might have died. He might, something crazy happened. Is he gonna be able to play in that? I can't. I thought he would be like, you're gonna be like, the miracle's he was like, where in a mask?

Sam, Tripp, we still convinced it might be a body top. I'm like, Sam, I am not having this conversation with you. Play this, Jess. So here's the video of him talking. What's up, everybody? It's D-Hamm. Once again, I want to thank everybody for the love and support of 50 past few weeks.

As you know, CPR saved my life earlier this year on the field. And CPR could easily save your life or someone you love. That's why I'm proud to announce that I'm partnering with the American Heart Association. And kicking off the Marham and three for heart, CPR channel and of course, hard job. Is he gonna play again?

Do we know? I don't know. That's not care. I don't know. Why? Well, you don't care that he said, look, he's doing good work now. He's finally talking, he's lucid,

he sees, I just want to imagine. I want to imagine, I'm amazing. I want that he got me, I want that he got me and that's a big plan. In like six months, I'm sure he should be, if he's this, right, good. I want to young man to get me a plan. In my six months, I'm sure he should be, if he's this, right, good. I would imagine, right? I was.

You're really, you're able to scan a video and know how he's doing physically. You have a sense. Well, do we know what it's amazing that so many medical, there might be a hologram. What do you ask? The larger question, did he have a heart,

did they find a heart condition? Or was he? I heard. Yeah. I heard that he had this or they're investigating and they don't know. But when your heart is, you know when your heart stops, not you probably don't know. I have a heart issue, but I'll tell you about that in a minute. But when your heart stops, the thing they tell you to do, you have kids and that is boom You got a bang on the chest, right? They're gonna do, right? So what they were saying was that the timing of his heart beating and him making that hit Boom the same way it stopped it. Yeah, so his heart stopped. So he go ahead

What do you think? You don't believe it? I just have skeptical hippo eyes right now. No, that's true to his point. I believe that. I believe that. He did that slamming because his point got it. The impact stopped. It interfered with the rhythm,

the electrical, the electrical impulse of his heart. Right. Yeah. He didn't, he didn't. He didn't know. Doesn't matter. You can be alone and get, and hit your own, it could hindleck yourself if you wanted.

I wonder with, I'm not an anti-vaxxer at all. I'm, I'm provoking. Why does this go to vaccine? Well, he got a risk turn. Sometimes the, the COVID vaccine can cause inflammation of the heart for a short period of time.

So they look into that. They're looking into everything. Nobody has said that. I'm giving you one of the theories. I've heard those theories. So there's going to be theories. Yours makes the most sense. But did he have a before?

Yeah. Does he have a, Does he have a hard issue? We'll find out. Is he weird up? Well, you know. I don't think we'll find out. If I'm not saying it is, I'm not a conspiracy guy. If you do get backsading, you had whatever inflammation. It's called myocardaric.

We wouldn't find out about that. It can affect very small people, persons of the population usually males. And the question is, it's usually kids, are they under 20, so that I don't know how old he is. But it's dangerous to even discuss that. Here's the point, how many people, I'm heartbroken.

I'm heartbroken. You could take Tylenol, there are people that have had shit happen because of Tylenol. Who's the lead out of aspirin? Is that true? No, no. Last man water, yeah. That's what they said. Water, yes. Not the aspirin. No, people do out of aspirin? Is that true? No, no. Aspirin water, yeah, that's what they said.

Oh water, yes. Not the aspirin. People do die of aspirin. People do die of aspirin. People do die of aspirin. Okay, so that's the point. The point is if you can find that, but don't take anything.

To answer your question is, we'll see if he actor and martial arts actually dies at age 32. Doesn't say that. He found aspirin. Prescription painkiller. Aspirin was his prescription. No, Brenner made that up. No, I'm looking at this podcast. doesn't say that asperin prescription painkiller asperin was his prescription

who's better made that up no i'm not a look at the podcast but it's a painkiller you're right you technically right at asperin it is a prescription cerebral edema uh... fifty years poison by the chinese mafia you guys first that's the conspiracy now nearly fifty years later as reported by the

the uh... clinical kidney journal the kidney journal uh... reported on sarina ladima that's not that isn't a kidney far from the access to all connected how we it's all fucking kidney and water yet so you know too much what i stopped reading the click clinical kidney journal

uh... when i did too when they were I just read writing a Hollywood reporter they got to to woke for me what else got you oh he just posted this this like a little bit later but he's he's doing he just posted that no that's a little bit later this leg looks better at least I think his leg wasn't hurt they ran over his chest no and it's like and his legs you don't know how he hurt, they ran over his chest. No, and his legs. And his legs. You don't know how he.

No. 30 broken bones. In his chest. Oh, my God. 30 broken bones. Yeah. This is an older thing that I just had up just in case. No, that's old, that's old.

That's old, that's old. Okay, this is also old, but there's a reason why I bring myself. There's a bunch old shit, check. Hold on. Hold on. A Pennsylvania family's dog was shot by a hunter who mistook it for a coyote. Oh, we brought this up.

We know, so we're a previous show where there was someone, there by a hunter who missed a ticket for a coyote. Oh, we brought this up. We know. So we had a previous show where there was someone, there was a woman that shot a husky and she thought it was a wolf. Oh my God. So this now happened, this guy's walking his dog, a hunter actually missed a ticket for a coyote. Yeah.

Shot it. The hunters, oh, so the dog's name is Hunter as well. But the hunter's favorite shot of Hunter. Yes. That's why it's kind of crazy. So I brought this up because like a Dick Cheney thing. That talk. But this actually kind of looks like a coyote. The other one looked like a husky. Yeah. So what is your point? Here, I brought this up. There's no point. This one is a little more close to the hunt. How we a dog. So you know,

people go hunting. They'll they'll leave their right phone. I'm Jewish. I've never been hunting. You get never not doing either. I can imagine this happens'm Jewish. I've never been hunting. You get never not doing either, but I can imagine that this happens. Okay. You have a rough, come on Moish. Let's catch a deer. Come on Moish. I want a cough now.

Okay, go ahead. I'm like, don't cough. I'm not gonna cough. I'm not gonna cough. I'm not gonna do it. Go on. So unfortunately, I guess I don't know if hunters, sometimes they're just kind of like lack of daisicle, whatever,

and they don't put the safety on, or maybe some rifles don't have a safety. So this guy was hunting with his dog, and apparently it was in the bed of the truck and the dog stepped on it in the perfect way to where it shot the owner and killed him. In the chest, right? I think so, yeah.

We got a dog, we got a dog, we got a dog, was that? That's not the one, that's not the one. That's not the one. That's not the one, that's not the one. That's not the one, that's not the one. That's not the one, that's not the one. That's not the one, that's not the one. That's not the one, that's not the one, that's not the one, that's not the one. That's not the one, that's not the one. That's not the one, that's not the one, that's not the one that's that owner probably had a shotgun that wasn't that was loaded and tried to definitely loaded and he and anybody who does that is

like a needs to himself he doesn't think his dog I will never have a lot of not going towards about a neighbor shot at owners pet and now He's connected that to another dog and accidentally dogs and shad that stepped accidentally on a rifle and killed the owner. That's two different stories. They don't combine together. And those are the kind of confusing stories

that made me stop my subscription to the kidney journal. Oh my God. No, you don't want to touch that. Fucking right. I am. I was kidney journal. So let's talk about happiness. Have you stuff that?

Anybody else get killed by the death sentence? That is a weird way. So what is your question? The weird way to get killed by the way, when your dog shoots you, first of all. That's happened twice in a while. It's like the guy that took the, the both guys that they're shotgun held a rattlesnake down.

And they're like, I got you, motherfucker. And you're looking at the rattlesnake. The problem was, Snakey's tail. Snakey's tail got the show, show us how it did it. Show it, here's the trigger, got that snake. Now don't touch my dick though.

Oh, those are the snake. No, be the snake. Oh, sorry. Be the snake. Why are you nuts rattling? I know, that's what happens. And it pulled the trigger and it loaded our faces off. All right, I'm sure you guys are excited about this.

Chris Stableton's gonna send it. The Super Bowl, he's gonna see the national anthem baby face and Shave's beard or or trim it a little bit. It's not crystal Yeah, baby face will sing America the beautiful and Shirley Raffles sing baby with every voice They're bringing some old school. Yeah, school lives to it. So by least Chris double Chris Stableton singing the Who's your favorite musician now? I if could be one frontman, who do you? I am a big fan of... Well, it's gotta be like a frontman.

It's gotta be like, who's your favorite band? Do you have one? You wanna be Steve Perry and Journey back in the day? Oh, he's a good singer. Robert Plant. The best. He is. I am a Rolling Stones fan. I go to every show they do. Oh, yeah, I went to see them at so fine

They're but they're cover band themselves still singers start me up but still doing it You did that bother you cover band I mean they've been doing the hits which I think we talked about on my podcast which you can't do in comedy I think that that's that's what I give them credit for. I love, I don't wanna go see a band that I love and hear their new album or the new releases. Give me the hits. This is why I love them and Mick Jagger gives you hits

and he is like an animatronic, he's like not real. He's a man who will talk about being his true name. And he had a heart issue. He did? Didn't he have open heart surgery before the last tour? I'm not talking to athletes. That's TV had it. Didn't he have open heart surgery and he had a heart issue he did didn't have open heart surgery for the last word that he had it didn't have open heart surgery he had a bypass did he sing sympathy for the devil one of the greatest songs ever written by name of his last one they've sang it all did just have heart surgery oh he had the air of valve replaced twenty twenty yeah twenty twenty and then still went

out and probably put on six miles on stage. Oh yeah, unbelievable. He's amazing. He actually does train, like he runs something like fucking a marathon a day or something insane. He's not gay though. Okay, a little too much. A little too much, okay.

You missed that. Yeah. How many more do you want? Give us a good one. Okay. Oh, those aren't good. This is not good. I'm telling our team for taking you,

which is not about the, that's the thing's interesting. Let's see what you think is in. So I think Vin Diesel's super interesting. He's, whenever he puts Instagram posts out, it's always kind of crazy and kind of weird. I agree. So have you guys ever watched,

I'm sure you're my favorite singer. You know, he does, he does. He does. He's a DJ and a singer. And he's an amazing voice over artists He's hilarious. He works with Steve Aoki Guys, he yes, I think he recorded with him Steve Aoki. Didn't he? That's right. Yeah, I think he did So this is just him talking about his role in Guardians of the Galaxy and if you guys watch Guardians of the Galaxy

He plays a character named Groot. Yeah, and Groot all of us. I am Groot of the galaxy. He plays a character named Groot. Yeah. And Groot all does I am Groot. I am Groot. And they manipulate it through, you know, mixing engineering. So this is him talking about Groot. It's CGI. We're proud to be a part of Guardians of the Galaxy. I'm very excited for you. Back up. All to see it. The talent is amazing. A really short answer. What you guys would never suspect is that for each of those lines, they provide like a monologue of what all the other characters here. And that is profound and very, very cool. So grateful to be able to play these iconic characters on the line. So basically the reason why I think this is so funny

is because he's making this huge deal about playing the character of Groot. And all he does is I am Groot. I am Groot. Yeah, he's a- But he's telling you there's a lot of backstory. Yes, what is the monologue? Jewish and black, isn't he?

Is the combination of- He's half black for sure. Half black, half Jewish. All bald. And all bald, he's the black slash Jewish version of how I'm in Dell fair right right I wouldn't say unfair I just got fair I think it's fair I think you can be Vin Diesel that's not real name obviously his mother is

English German Scott Scottie close brine okay black and Jewish nothing on this is black and just black and and English German well Scottish Scottish is close to his father's Irving H. Vincent which is a Jewish name Irving looks like Lenny Kravitz Lenny Kravitz his father was Jewish yes and his name he's such a cool guy but he has such a like a goofy Jewish name right Lenny Kravitz it's not that it's like it sounds like my account and then he credits you know it sounds cool though right now because you think what

you think of what it is that the name is not cool the fact that it's cool he's one of the coolest rock stars ever and he craves let me wear the let me read sounds like the caterer who catered to let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me No, no, if you guys want more we got more that's all good.
