I'm always trying to type faster than that commercial and I always fail so I'm trying
to tweet this live in the moment and then stare at it with my ever shittier eyes.
Oh yeah tell me am I supposed to tweet that I'm doing this right now? I just tweeted it. I'll do it. in the moment and then stare at it with my ever shittier eyes. Oh, yeah.
Tell me.
Am I supposed to tweet
that I'm doing this right now?
I just tweeted it.
I'll do it.
You can retweet it.
That way it'll be...
Retweeted?
My eyes are fine
until I stare at my fucking computer too much.
No, they get screwed up
and then you try to look at the TV
and you can't see what's going on.
It's guaranteed.
It's age,
but it's also...
I don't think screens are good for you no just have
you ever like taking a picture with your cell phone of a screen and then you see those lines
that you can't see like whatever the fuck those are well that's it's actually just your phones
the aperture on the camera is not able to catch up with the flickering images is that what it is
that's not fucking with your eyes so then if i'm looking through this screen at that that doesn't
fuck with my eyes i think it's the actual strain of staring at something that's lit up so close to your face
that's really fucking with you more than anything.
Isn't that correct?
Is that the correct aperture?
Is that the correct terminology?
You're squinting.
You're reading.
You're squinting your eyes.
You don't even realize it.
Yeah, but that's not what we're talking about.
We're talking about the flashing thing.
The flashing thing.
It's just your camera can't catch shutter speed.
Is that what it is?
thing the flashing thing like it's just your camera can't catch shutter speed is that what it is um like if you watch uh cars if you see videos of cars that have lcd lenses there's something
happens when you film them it looks like they're flashing it's a different refresh rate usually
yeah it's weird i i don't like any of that shit which is why my new special i actually did it in
black and white because i don't like HD TV.
I don't like seeing somebody's pores as they're talking to me.
Like HD at this point was great.
And then it got to a point where it was too real.
It's clearer than real life.
Like I went to a game at Dallas Cowboys football stadium.
And they got this giant fucking TV.
Classic Texas, right?
We got the biggest fucking TV, you know?
Right.
That means we're the best and it was so clear it looked realer than what was going on in the field and you I'd like pull my at the visor down on my my my
head because I kept wanting to look at that Tony Romo was like right in front
of me the promoter hooked me up with these great seats he's fucking right
there and I'm looking up further away than he is for me looking
up at this giant fucking tv it's also an instinct to look at screens i see that a lot at the ufc
people are there babies do it yeah everybody does it's an instinct to stare because it's so
captivating you know and we're used to staring at screens so like if you're at a sporting event
and there's a screen there you just automatically start gravitating towards that screen for some i look at the screens here i usually always just look right here instead
of looking right there well you should you're actually running shit you're supposed to do that
and make sure that nothing's exploding there's no demons behind us that we don't know about
yeah i'm not a fan of uh technology electronics i like some but it just i feel like all the benefits of it are are taken away and
then some with the crashing with the refreshing with the what the fuck just happened with the
oh now this is outdated and i have to buy a new one and then i throw this one into the fucking
ocean i go back and forth i love it in a lot of ways because i'm i'm just fascinated by innovation
i'm fascinated by these new things that these new people keep inventing.
But there's also part of me that realizes at a certain point in time,
it's not benefiting us anymore.
It's not like making our lives easier.
It's just making things more connected to electronics.
It's making you more into whatever world the electronics create.
Yeah, somewhere in the 90s, we pretty much plateaued.
Maybe we were fine.
And even people say,
well, what about medical stuff
and like helping people out and everything,
helping them live long and cure disease and everything.
That basically kills the rest of us
to keep that other person alive.
And then they're still alive,
taking a shit that ends up in a river
and just keeps polluting more and more.
We're just like,
we're all over the fucking place
and it really needs to shrink down.
Like the technology, I don't think would be a problem if there weren't so everybody has a fucking laptop so many people have laptops and shirts and all this shit that we just keep buying
and then throwing out like you know that whole put litter in its place you ever think about that
it's like when they pick it up where do you think it goes do you think it leaves earth it just goes
somewhere else we don't have to look at it and it's just fucking sitting there what's going to happen is they're going to figure out a way to take
everything that we make and turn it into either a product or turn it into fuel like whenever we
make something and we have to throw it out it'll just become fuel for something else do you know
how many people would have to agree just to even get that ball even slightly moving they were just somehow jesus
would be brought up and somehow uh just something them versus us republican democrat liberal
conservative and nothing would get done and they would just sit there screaming at each other
maybe or maybe they could figure out a way to actually use whatever the fuck pollution is
like whatever carbon goes into the atmosphere, pull that out
and convert that into energy.
I guarantee you
there's probably some fucking nerds
that already know
how to do something
along those lines.
Maybe not to that level,
but at least take the shit
from down the dump.
You know they know how to do it.
There's just no money in it
and it's just like, you know.
They probably get checks
to not do it, right?
Yeah, things are done.
Oil companies show up
with hookers
and fucking just a fucking big freight train full of money come on boys it's a party yeah don't do
that then we got to get all new machines that's going to cost us a bunch of money just do it the
way we do it until we die and then you guys can do it how you want to do it by then someone else
is bought into the deal so i am completely pessimistic when it comes to that shit people
think that that's all bullshit that like those kind of conspiracies don't exist come on you guys are just nuts this is stupid
nobody would do that if they could get rid of the pollution they would but if getting rid of the
pollution costs somebody money i guarantee you there'd be somebody to try to cock block it
yeah there would be if there was a guy like the the classic william randolph hearst story i don't
you know this but the reason why marijuana became illegal wasn't because there was a guy like the the classic william randolph hearst story i don't know if you know this but the reason why marijuana became illegal wasn't because there was a problem with people smoking
marijuana it was because william randolph hearst owned paper mills and he also owned newspapers
and so he was going to have to convert his paper mills over to hemp paper because it's way easier
to grow you refill an entire forest in like a year. Like you chop them down. He had that kind of power?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, he owned a lot of newspapers.
I know.
He was the reason why Rosebud was, you know, that whole Citizen Kane movie.
He's got the giant castle up the coast.
Yeah.
He was fucking crazy.
But he had so much money and so much power that he could just print fake stories.
So he wrote these stories about blacks and Mexicans.
I'm sure he didn't write them,
but he commissioned them. Blacks and Mexicans smoking this new drug called marijuana and having
sex with all these white women. Like that wasn't even what they called marijuana.
If he actually did that, I wonder how many people died because of that story.
Oh God, a lot. I'm sure. A lot. People in jail. I mean, just think about that. That was in the
1930s and it's still stuck.
It was all about hemp. It wasn't even about marijuana. They weren't even worried about the
drug. The drug was commonly used amongst jazz singers and all these other people would smoke
pot. It was a normal thing. The real issue was the hemp, like the commodity, the non-psychoactive
hemp. They were worried about it taking over and having to spend millions of dollars to convert all of his paper plants to hemp paper
Now you just want to smoke weed
Who don't believe in conspiracy is funny to me it's like dude you conspire you go to a bar you see two hot chicks
You come up with a game plan
That's a conspiracy you conspiring to get over there and try and fuck them to sit there and like like all advertising
they're you're it's a conspiracy what the fuck i'm doing here now selling my
special you don't conspire yeah you think i just showed up here yeah we conspire we i was like no
joe rogan's got a zillion fucking followers he's a fan of my shit i know it's gonna come off good
this will get me more like i yeah i want i want this to keep going i'm just not randomly doing this shit
you're conspiring yeah but just because i'm not whacking a president in the middle of it doesn't
mean it's not a conspiracy well the shit like the enron disaster that went down that was a
conspiracy there's a bunch of conspiracies that you could see in clear form that actually did
happen well the best thing they did is they they made conspiracies synonymous with moronic thought and everybody says oh you're
putting your tin hat on it's like this whole country came about through a conspiracy the
revolution was not a spontaneous act people sat there and was like okay we're going to rebel
against these fuckers well they're going to hang us as traitors if we don't pull this off they came
up with a game plan if you want to call it that. But if they lost, they would have been talking about this treasonous conspiracy
by all these guys that are now on our money.
Right?
Right?
Wouldn't that be it?
It's so true.
It's so true.
Yeah, but if you say you're into any sort of conspiracy,
that automatically means you think 9-11 was an inside job
and that the moon was made out of cheese.
Well, 9-11 is the best one,
because this is the one that I always use.
It's my favorite one.
When people don't believe in conspiracies,
I say, do you believe that 9-11 happened?
And they say yes.
Well, then you believe in conspiracies,
because people conspired to fucking hijack planes
and fly them into buildings.
Right, right, right.
But my whole thing with that, you know,
that Americans were involved,
and then that, I mean, give me a fucking break, okay? There's not a... Right out of, right. But my whole thing with that, you know, that Americans were involved and then that,
I mean, give me a fucking break, okay?
There's not a...
Right out of the gate,
you got to be like,
okay, so who wants to fly it in and die?
Dick, I'd like to do that.
I mean, you got to have
an absolute fucking nut job
to do something like that.
So do you got to have them...
I mean, I don't think we've ever even...
We've never had kamikazes.
You've never been able to get Americans to be like,
listen, I'll go over there and try and fuck some people up.
But if you think I'm going to fly some shit into something...
Or walk into a cafe strapped up with a bomb.
Get the fuck out of here.
Yeah, we're not doing that.
No Americans doing that.
No, no, no.
We've had guys jump on grenades to save other people.
But to run into a pizza hut.
Yeah, that's not our style.
Yeah, that's not our style.
We're not into suicide bombing.
Yeah, we're into doing it from 60,000 feet and calling it freedom.
With an Xbox.
The funny thing about the original suicide bombers, the kamikazes, is they were all methed out.
I didn't realize that until a few years ago
i didn't even know that meth was like an important part of their diet back then i never saw that in
the ken burns documentary where you getting that information it's apparently just a historical fact
and even there was a recent report on hitler hitler himself was on a litany of medication
and one of them was meth they were giving a meth they would give meth to people but I don't fault him for that dude the amount of energy that that
guy put out during his speeches needed something to level off forget about the
screaming and yelling just sitting that still waiting for the right moment
building them into that that frenzy do you watch that Michael Jackson
documentary right before he died?
Yeah.
Where he would just freeze after he did a dance move?
Yeah.
Let it simmer.
Let it simmer.
That's Hitler shit.
Just sitting in that fucking chair.
Just getting him crazy.
Just wanting to hear or see the next thing.
What's he going to do?
It's timing.
It's fucking timing.
Some people are perfect at it.
I've never had the balls to do that on stage.
The Michael Jackson-Hitler simmer moment.
You would have to have a real reason.
Dude, we got to do that tonight at the comedy store.
All right?
Okay.
We got to have a...
You got to have...
Oh, dude, if we had some of the technology, I could be in your ear.
Tell him I want to simmer.
You had to keep a straight face after a punchline as you're looking down at some fucked up pose.
I'm just going, let it simmer.
Let it simmer, Bill.
Let it simmer. And release simmer, Bill. Let it simmer.
And release.
So my dad was crazy.
But comedy clubs
are filled with drunks
and it's nothing.
You know,
the thing about a guy
like Michael Jackson,
he's up there doing some shit
you can't do.
He's spinning
and moonwalking
and it's an acrobatic event.
But you see a guy like you
or a guy like me on stage,
he's talking. You know, you're like you or a guy like me on stage talking.
You're like, I can fucking talk.
We all look like gym teachers.
Especially after you get a couple of drinks.
Just coming out like we're going to do roll call.
Yeah, you have a couple of drinks.
I can fucking talk.
I know how to talk.
I can't moonwalk, but I can fucking talk.
Yeah, exactly.
So you can't hold those pauses to them.
It's like the green light.
Fucking queer. That's right. They can't help it. They can't hold those pauses to them. It's like the green light. Fucking queer!
They can't help it.
They can't help it.
Those big juicy pauses.
There's just this opening.
They could say something funny too.
Like when it happens in a movie theater, most of the time it's retarded.
But every now and then someone will yell something out in a movie theater and it's fucking hilarious.
And then that guy, you know, he becomes a hero for for that crowd he just
killed there's always that one guy doing sporting events like now we like to take a moment of
silence for all the victims yeah the fucking uh outhouse fire and everybody shuts up and it's
like just we just want you to remain quiet for 30 seconds there's always that guy 20 seconds
and you just hear this guy go yeah like! Like, let's wrap it up.
I want to see
what I came here
to pay for.
Why do you need
those fucking moments
of silence?
Like, you know,
you could do like
a 10 count
at a boxing match
if, you know,
Lou DiBella dies
or something like that
or one of those guys.
What was his name?
Lou, what was the famous guy
that had like
the worst skin?
No, no, no.
There's this famous...
He did funny film videos.
Lou...
God damn it.
Wallach.
I don't remember his name.
Alcindor.
He was...
He was famous all throughout the...
Lou Grant.
1980s.
He used to train Meldrick Taylor.
I don't remember.
Anyway, the point is he looked like the most unhealthy guy ever.
Lou Duva.
That's it. Damn! Lou Duva. That's it.
Damn!
Lou Duva.
You nailed it.
Pull up a picture of Lou Duva just so everybody knows what the fuck we're talking about.
But he was, you know, when he died, I'm sure they had a 10 count for a guy like that.
A 10 count, okay.
But those fucking 30 seconds of silence, come on, man.
He had to pay for that wonderful head of hair, man.
You have to see what this dude looks like.
I didn't remember what he looked like. Page not found. That's what it looks like.
He looked like an older Freddie Blassie.
Classy Freddie Blassie?
Nobody? There he is.
Little duva. Come on, seriously.
That might be the most
unhealthy looking man that's ever lived.
Yeah, but that's right towards the end, man.
Even when he was like 12, I bet he looked like that.
He had that Elvis hair.
He did have some good hair. Yeah, he did. did fonzie hair for his whole fucking life i'm so jealous
anyway point being those uh moments that you do in like that kind of a performance
and plus if michael jackson's doing it there's fucking 30 000 people there and you know he's
30 at least 60 80 that guy huge numbers yeah what was like the biggest
place he's ever done is probably like hundreds of thousands you know you know the original family
that owned the new england patriots they went bankrupt on the michael jackson victory tour
when he went out with uh with all of his brothers uh the son put the thing together and i don't know
if this is true so i I got to preface this,
but a promoter in Boston told me this,
because forever,
like Michael Jackson was going to go to Foxborough Stadium where the Patriots were playing,
and they promoted the show and all the tickets,
and he had that pay or play, whatever they're called.
No matter what, you got to pay the guy.
And the town of Foxborough said,
no, we don't want this show.
We don't want all these black people coming out here.
All right.
That's what it was.
That's what it was. That's what it was.
I mean, white people got too crazy on Monday night,
and they stopped having Monday night football for like 20 years.
Like, Foxborough was like, we're not having this.
Really?
This is a quiet little town.
Have your football game during the day on Sunday,
and then get the fuck out of here.
So they canceled the show,
and I thought the amount of money lost on that show,
they were close enough that that brought them under.
But what this promoter was claiming was this guy actually promoted the whole tour.
And when he was doing the finances, he didn't take into consideration how big Michael Jackson's stage was and how many seats that that was going to eat up.
He had this giant ass fucking stage that was eating up like tens of thousands of dollars a night times all of these
fucking dates and when he tried to get him go hey mike can you just have a smaller stage blah blah
i guess he was competing with prince and was saying like no because if i have a smaller stage prince
will have a bigger stage and i i gotta make sure my shit is bigger than his of course he said that
in a falsetto i don't know if this is true but like this is the story this guy told me it blew
my mind i was like oh I always thought they went broke
just because of that
one fucking date
that he cancelled that
and I just figured
you know there's
60,000 people there
that's what reminded me
talking about 60,000 people
all paid that money
and he still had to
give them a cut of that
and they just didn't have it
that actually does make sense
the size of the stage thing
that totally makes sense
yeah because
there's a comedy club
that did that in New York
where they for some reason they moved the stage out away from the wall and they had this little
small club and they moved it away from the wall so the waitresses could walk behind the stage
behind this wall and like they took out like five or six tables and all the other comedy clubs were
laughing and they figured out how much money they fucked themselves out of over the course of a year
you know doing shows two three shows a night times six seven days like they were fucking themselves out of like three quarters of a million dollars
a year so they hadn't and they they ended up having to move the wall that was fucking hilarious
everybody from day one is just like this is stupid it was already one of those rooms that was kind of
shaped it's not the cellar but it was shaped like the cellar where it's like you're standing
sideways in a rectangle right so you kind of got to angle yourself and they took that shit and moved you further into the crowd so it was almost like like you're in
the round almost yeah but only on but the people are on two sides there's a place like that in san
francisco there's a theater that i did that's like that it's weird you the stage goes out into the
crowd and like so people are behind you and to the left and behind you and to the right it's very
strange you did that thing with me right yeah yeah that was weird right right
i don't think you ever want to be sitting behind a performance no well i'm doing a theater in the
round in phoenix just celebrity theater yeah just because it'll be weird no i've done it a few times
before what you do oh you've done this before i just start the joke on this side and then turn and end on that side
and i just really try to be conscious of sections yeah like dane said the most brilliant thing about
the uh the the theater and the round he goes it's four theaters just look at it that way it's four
theaters just all stuck together you just sort of perform in one theater then this one and then
that one over there and then i just think you do it like the the the three card monty you just sort of switch it up like you don't right right
right as you go around but i know i know people that have seen comics i'll do a theater in the
round they'll be like so and so is here and he didn't move with like one of those comics it just
stands there with the mic and the mic stand so they were in the back and they're just sitting
there and one of them had like a slow turning stage right
so eventually
he just said
dude 20 more jokes
he's gonna be looking at it
so he made the stage turn
while he was up there
no no
they have a stage
that turns
and I think that's
for musical acts
where you have a drum
drum kit and amps
planted
so they're not moving
but it's also for
I think like
performers who just
want to stand there
and not
move around
I think it's spun around like they're on a fucking carousel.
You did that one.
Very slowly.
Very slowly it spins around.
Done it a few times.
Yeah, the one that turns though.
Yeah, but it turns very slowly.
Very slowly.
Yeah, it's the same place.
The Celebrity Theater.
That's the one we're talking about.
Yeah, I forgot that it turns.
Yeah, and they ask you the option.
Do you want the stage turned on?
Do you want it to be turning?
I'm definitely going to say yes.
I'm definitely going to say yes.
Oh, I always say no.
It's like, I don't need that.
I want it just for,
because it's weird.
Yeah.
Well, if they could speed it up,
you could literally just be
running in place
doing a whole fucking joke
running against it.
My goal is to do so many shots
while I'm on stage
that I can't figure out
where the stool is
at any given time.
It could be anywhere.
It's moving around.
No way.
No.
I was going to say, no way.
I've been drunk twice on stage.
Twice? Twice. In 20-something years.
Yeah, it's not the best move.
Every now and then, though, it's the right thing to do.
Once I was in Ireland, so that's not my fault.
And the other time
I was coming back from a Yankees-Red Sox game
and didn't know I was going to have a show.
And somebody called up, hey, I had a falling out. Can you come
down and do the show? And I thought I was one of those like yeah i'll do and i just went
up there and i was like i was just like oh shit i had to slow way down and had a very very uh
subpar fucking show was bad so you had to slow way down just to get your mouth to work right
yes which killed the timing of everything so i i bombed very slowly i see that with um that the term punch drunk that's like a term that
people don't like but that's uh that's exactly what it's like that same thing where you know
you're a little fucked up so you have to struggle to get your words out like you can see that in
fighters it's the exact same thing it's why they call it punch drunk. It's not just they sound like they're drunk, but the same thing.
Like you have to struggle to control your situation.
And then when those guys get drunk, that's when you see guys that are really punch drunk.
When guys that have been punch drunk get drunk.
Because then you see they have a hard time.
Yeah.
Because they have a really hard time controlling the words then.
Then it's just a mangled mess.
It's hard to understand. have a really hard time controlling the words then then it's just a it's a mangled mess it's
i've been watching the uh that that ufc the uh what do you call when they stick them in the house
and all that shit ultimate fighter the ultimate fighter and it's all women and like i remember
last time i did your podcast i was against it like women in the octagon it's like they like
why would you do that they're beautiful why would you punch each other in the face and i want to see
a jab to your breasts and shit it's just i didn't want to see it and now i don't even notice it
anymore and it's it's unbelievably fucking entertaining you don't notice that they're
girls anymore no no they're great fights and it's guys are already good at talking shit and
fucking not liking each other but just women just take it to that extra fucking level. That shit talking,
and then the fact that they can beat the fuck out of you.
And then it's funny as a guy to be just watching it going like,
there is not one woman in this house
that I could even get on the floor.
Like these women would all just mop the floor with me.
There's a fucking hilarious YouTube video.
Somebody tweeted it to me,
and I don't know,
I just lost it in the ether.
It was this girl it just
starts right in it was almost one of those six second videos whatever the fucking kids call them
and you knew this kid had a little bit of training and this girl had more training and she came at
him and it was like she climbed up his body like stepped on his fucking thigh and then was behind
him and the video ends with him just grabbing like this as it's rear naked going you know he was out
before he went and the whole party just goes, oh, and it ends.
And I fucking died laughing, but going like,
I wouldn't even have lasted as long as that kid did.
Cause it seemed like he knew a little bit of a defense,
a little bit of defense.
Like I have a great Ronda Rousey bit of like,
what it would be like to date her if she was actually physically abusive,
but I just can't do the pratfall i want to act like you know her big move is she does that fucking throw and
you go over her hip right and just you fucking landing on the ground you're like in a relationship
with her oh armbar real mature real mature you're like i know i tapped out that doesn't mean because
you're right i didn't want my arm broken and then she comes out you to knock down the stool to try to have something in between you and her.
I think a chick like that probably has to date a fighter, if I had to guess.
She probably has to date some guy who also knows how to do what she does.
I just couldn't imagine.
Dude, if I dated her, I'd be out in the kitchen like an apron, just like making her food and shit.
Just waiting for her to look at me sideways.
She'd fuck me up.
Almost every female fighter does they all date fighters they just does just seems like you know
a girl being in a position like that where she could just beat the fuck out of her boyfriend i
don't think chicks like that that's i never looked at it that way because i always thought it was
hilarious like i i could date somebody like that i would think it was funny that they could kick
the shit and when my guy friends gave me shit i'd be like yeah man she kicked the shit out of me and you i think it's
funny but like i never looked at it like because even though they're like like these lethal weapons
now there is still there could possibly still i should say i don't want to speak for him that
this female male relationship where that they still want the guy to be able to protect them
yeah and it's just kind of like, yeah, dude, that's funny.
Because then they're just sort of rendering you useless.
Because they're already making a zillion dollars.
So there goes your, I'm providing.
I can protect you, dude.
I can kick your ass.
And then I can also have a kid.
So you're basically now like a 45-year-old teenager.
It just gives you a little height share.
You know what I like about watching female fights?
It's a self-sustained unit.
I think it's fucking awesome.
What I like about watching female fights is that they're more reliant on technique
because they don't have overwhelming physical strength.
There's certain guys that have overwhelming physical strength and abilities.
Oh, they can plow through defects in that game?
Yeah, they can muscle things.
They just hit really hard. So sometimes they have muscle things. They just hit really hard.
So sometimes they have shitty technique.
They throw windmill punches.
But with a lot of women, what you're getting is
the purest technique you can get.
This isn't good.
I'd like to be a gentleman with my opponent.
Give him plenty of time to see it coming.
And let him know the kaboches are always coming from the same direction.
If you see the left, the next one's the right.
If you see the right, the next one's the left.
Rock them, sock them. Yeah, don't get tricky
with fucking double lefts. It's a linear story.
It's a linear story. This isn't Tarantino.
We're dancing here, okay? Left, right, left, right.
But with chicks, they're
forced to use more technique.
Obviously, there's a curve as far as physical strength.
There's someone like Serena Williams, who's obviously a very physically strong girl.
And there's other girls that are not as physically strong.
She'd throw me over a couch, and you know when you hit the window sideways and then slide down?
She's so physically impressive.
Her legs and the strength that she has i was at i was at a
party one time uh some agency i used to be at and they also represented her and you forget your
agency also represents you know athletes because they want to like fucking you know make money off
of selling doritos or whatever right and she was at the party with a basketball player so he was
like you know so they were a proportioned couple like i felt like a dwarf dude like she was like you know so they were a proportioned couple like i felt like a dwarf dude like she was like uh just like it was totally gorgeous totally in proportion just like like super
athlete dude marvel comic yeah body it's like going like dude you you should be wearing a
fucking cape it's just no and it's just you know you just see people like that and you just go like
oh yeah that's why like you always sit there in the back of your head
as you're watching some quarterback that sucks going,
hey, what if I did some more sit-ups?
What if I could throw against my body like fucking Brett Favre
but not throw an interception,
and then you actually run into the real athletes?
Dude, I saw Joe Theismann, who always looked like a little fella.
You know, when he was out there, he had the one little bar here.
He got his leg broken.
He always looked just so small when he was out there.
I saw the guy little bar here. He got his leg broken. He always looked just so small when he was out there. I saw the guy in a mall.
He's like 6'1 and still jacked.
I'm like almost 5'10.
I'm just going like, this guy would fucking drop me.
How did he get his leg fixed?
Did they put bars in it and pins and shit?
How did he get his legs fixed?
Imagine.
I haven't been in contact with anybody at the hospital, Jeff.
Did that end his
career that was my my question yes it did that was the last play he watched he said i remember
time he said he watched the replay one time uh and that was that was it for him and uh and i
actually when uh silva broke his leg i think that reminded me of that that compound fracture just
like oh my god oh my god i can't even imagine
the pain and then going into the shock and then the fact now is he's coming back right
silvers yeah january he's gonna fight to fucking sit there after you went through that and you're
just the first time you start throwing kicks with that leg again just like the level of whatever
that is i don't have that anywhere in my life.
If I ever fucking broke my leg like that doing stand-up,
that's it.
I'd open a comedy club.
You should go up on stage.
No, no, no.
I don't want to do that anymore.
He's at the end of his career.
He's got a few years left fighting,
and he has an opportunity to still make a lot of money,
and I think he's probably just going to make as much money as he can over the next few years and then get out.
Now, what is that rumor that I hear that if you break a bone, this is such a bottom line.
It heals stronger.
It heals stronger, dude.
Sort of.
I mean, it's less likely to break in the area where it broke.
It's less likely to break there.
It gets knotted up and thick, but I'm not necessarily sure it gets stronger.
I was going to say, thank you, Dr. Rogan.
I was going to say, why am I asking you these fucking questions?
I do know a lot about broken bones.
This is how I learn all of my shit.
Asking people.
Who don't have the job.
Asking non-experts.
How does UPS get all those packages to everybody overnight?
If you ever have questions like that and you want answers, ask Brian Cowan.
And even if he doesn't know the answer, he'll fucking keep keep going he will come up with something that's a logical just out of pure
insecurity of just not knowing the answer he just has to fucking answer yeah he'll fucking argue
about some shit he's not educated in at all i love but he also has a shitload of fucking
information in his head brian is like one of the best
I've ever met
at being able to pull quotes
out of the air
about books that he's read
like constantly
he's reading books
but yeah you hang with him
for one three minutes
you realize he's out
of his fucking mind
oh he's crazy
but he's the best
I love him
I love him
but he's out of his fucking mind
he's definitely crazy
his fucking mind
is going like a thousand RPMs
constantly
always dude whenever I talk to him you just gotta do the ollie you lay against the ropes crazy. His fucking mind is going like a thousand RPMs constantly. Always. Dude, whenever
I talk to him, you just gotta do the Ali
you lay against the ropes
and just let all the information
come at you and then you get him with one
and then you come back. Oh, and by the way
What are you doing?
You got a pair of shoulders on you.
I bet you got a piece on you.
Got a piece on you.
I went hunting with him. It was five I mean, I've done it three times now. It's five off your knuckles. I bet you got a piece on you. Yeah. Got a piece on you. I went hunting with him.
It was five, I mean, I've done it three times now, but it's five days of gay jokes.
Of him scaring fish by not shutting up.
He really should be here.
People are going to think I don't like him.
I love him.
I love him, too.
I love him.
I just like trashing him.
He knows what he does.
That's part of his charm is that he likes to make fun of himself.
Did he go up and talk to the bear and ask him what he's doing to get those back muscles?
He would.
Look at that bear.
Bear's cock's almost as big as mine.
I gotta find out.
But we were for five days.
You think if I walked around on all fours and occasionally stood up?
I'd be like a bear.
I'd be like a bear.
Without all that hair.
Five days every time. It's just constantly the brian callan show because you can just wind
him up he's just that guy he's always on he's never not fun like he's never i never call brian
he's depressed you know if he is depressed to be depressed for a couple minutes and then he'll
just start talking about something and i'll start talking about his lean muscle mass or
you know how he's built for dance.
And he'll just go into something.
And then next thing you know, you're laughing.
He just doesn't want that uncomfortable silence.
No, he's like, what's his face at the end of the Hulk?
Phil Bixby?
Yeah.
Instead of walking away from the town, those are his troubles.
Do you know that the Hulk, they changed the Hulk's name?
I just want to keep trashing him until people show him this clip so I get on his show again.
They changed the Hulk's name in the 1970s.
Is this from Land of the Lost, by the way?
The Piece of Salt?
No, that's from the Hippie Warehouse.
Oh.
These ideas, these salt crystal lamps, they're supposed to somehow or another generate positive ions and-
Saltify the air.
Float through the air and make you feel better.
Robert Banner was Bill Bixby's character's name on the Hulk.
But the real name is Bruce Banner.
But they changed it from Bruce to Robert for TV because they thought Bruce was a gay name.
Bruce.
Bruce.
Bruce, are you angry again?
Don't get mad.
Right?
God, you were so green last night.
It was so embarrassing, and you ruined your pants again.
How did Bruce become a gay name?
It's like Bruce for the longest time was like, you know, Bruce.
I was going to say Bruce Jenner, but I guess that's a bad example now.
It was a good example a few years back.
Dude, that guy. What's going on? He good example a few years back. Dude, that guy.
What's going on?
He was such a good-looking guy.
Yeah, not anymore.
There was never anything wrong with his nose.
He's becoming a good-looking older lady, though.
That's what's going on.
Hey, God bless him if it makes him happy.
Exactly.
What are you going to do?
God bless him if it makes him happy.
I just don't.
Just watching people fucking.
Age badly.
No, attacking their face.
Yeah. It's a weird thing that people do.
They want to change it, and then they think when they change it, it looks better.
It just looks different for the most part.
Dude, how much of a hug do you need if you're staring at your throat in the mirror,
like sideways holding a mirror going, I don't like my Adam's apple.
I don't even know what my Adam's apple looks like.
I couldn't pick out my Adam's apple in a fucking lineup.
I don't think I've ever looked at it.
I think his deal, and I'm just guessing, is that he's probably transitioning to being a woman.
If I had to guess.
I think that's probably a pretty safe estimate at this point.
He's grown his hair long.
His nails are long.
He had his neck operated on.
Now, do you think he'll come up with an original name?
Or do you think he'll just do... He's got fingernail polish on now man do you think he'll he'll uh
okay he'll go with a um a new name like brucina yeah that's what i'm saying do you think he'll
go hacky and just make his name effeminate like bill? No, I bet he has a fucking full character that he becomes when he becomes a woman.
Let me see.
Bring him back up.
Bring him back up.
Those nails.
I mean, first of all, if this is fake, if they're trolling us.
He looks like a Jennifer.
You think so?
I would say Claudia.
No.
He's not a Claudia.
I was going to say he looks like a Claudia.
Look at him.
He's got a cigarette. Susan or a Jennifer say he looks like a Claudia. Look at him. He's got a cigarette.
He looks like a Susan or a Jennifer.
So he's smoking cigarettes too?
Of course.
Look at him right here.
Yeah, we all know gay people, they're always smoking cigarettes.
What the fuck does that have to do with anything?
I think that's a pretty good picture of what he probably looks like.
He has his lipstick on when no one's looking and he's tucking his dick.
I don't think that's bad. He looks like an older lead he has like his lipstick on when no one's looking and he's tucking i don't think that's bad he looks like you know he looks like an older lead singer of
a band yeah and they're doing the casino circuit well the two earrings too it's like
he really balling he seems to be becoming a woman seems to be becoming one good for him yeah i mean
this is a good time to be a lady this is a good time to be a lady. This is a good time to be a transgender woman, too.
You know, people are more accepting of it than ever before.
It's a good time.
If you know what I mean.
But it's, I mean, how ironic.
None of that shit.
His name is Bruce.
It should bother you.
It should not.
It really should not.
It should not.
You know...
Having said that, I hate the color of his nail polish.
Red is my favorite
I feel like
if you're gonna
paint your nails
I don't feel he's that type
that's too racy for him
I don't mind it
he's an Olympic
medalist
what do you think
he should have
black
go goth
I think he needs an edge
I think he's just
a little too soft
like a purple perhaps
he's got his hair
blown out
I wouldn't
if I had to do a makeover, okay, less scarves, less flowing shit.
Yeah, he needs an edge, man.
Poor guy.
Look at him.
He's wearing those visors, those old lady tennis visors.
If you're not Hunter S. Thompson and they don't say Vegas on them,
take that fucking thing off.
That was the picture of absolute bliss, though.
I think he wants to do it.
That's what he wants to do.
God bless him.
Yeah.
Well, listen, he's been with those crazy bitches for so long, he became one.
I mean, that's really what it is.
I think it's a little more.
I think they tricked him.
Joe, I think they could put you in that house, and I don't think you're coming out looking
like that.
I probably would.
Imagine if I did.
Imagine if it was proven that if you're around women, like that many women long enough, they
slowly but surely ebb your masculinity away till you want to become a woman.
If it's proven that like we imitate our atmosphere so much that when we're around the opposite
sex for too much, we want to be like them.
Well, if you were one of those people that you, what's that psychological word they say
that you're a, you're codependent?
Mm-hmm.
And you got to watch out who you hang out with or pretty soon you're doing what they're doing.
Yeah.
The next thing you know, you know.
There are people like that.
You want a pleated skirt.
You'd like some Uggs.
Probably starts with the Uggs.
I think it starts the feet.
It starts the feet first.
Pedicures.
And then you work your way up your body if you're easing into it.
Yeah, because a lot of dudes will get manicures. People aren't going to notice that. People aren't going to notice. pedicures and then you you work your way up your body if you're easing into it yeah because people
get manicures people aren't gonna notice that people are gonna say i got a manicure one time
one time i got a manicure really i fucking hated it did you get angry uh no i just i didn't like it
i didn't like it well i was on i was on the road with uh uh charlie murphy and and don L and it's acceptable in the
amongst black guys to get your fucking
nails done. Right. It's like considered
some pimp shit.
So like you gotta do it. So I'm literally
sitting there next to
Charlie like this with my hand in the
thing and I'm laughing. Bill Burr.
Bill Burr is the way to do it. No he was laughing too
because I just kept saying this is the most
effeminate fucking thing
I've ever done
forget about doing it with you
who's just overloaded
with testosterone
so Charlie
you need to do this
so you don't
windmill kick somebody
I don't know
I'm more in the middle
I don't need to do this
and I was on stage that night
and I was just going like this
I was self conscious
I got the
I got the clear
I got the clear finish
and they were just like
glistening
yeah but then what sucks is then it starts to peel.
So then you just fucking scratch, and then it looks gross.
Did you try to prematurely age it?
Do you maybe get some sandpaper, rub it down?
Yeah, I was doing all.
I was super homophobic about it.
Fingers in the dirt, fisting the dirt, try to get the nail polish off.
No, I found somebody with one of those
gravel driveways.
Isn't it funny that that became a big thing
in the African American community?
Getting your toes and nails done.
There's pictures of dudes
getting their toes done on the cell phone
talking. Aubrey
with his alpha nail.
It wasn't really his. It was his friend's
company, but yeah, he was a part of it.
Yeah, no, they take being clean
to a whole nother level.
And generally speaking,
some of them think white people
are pretty filthy.
That was a trend in MMA fighters
for the longest time
was getting their nails done.
Like Chuck Liddell started it out.
But that was funny, man.
He would get his toes colored.
Pink, and I thought it was,
to me, that's fucking funny
because you can kick the shit out of somebody.
You ever hear that Bruce Lee story?
What story?
That he used to walk around wherever the fuck he was from.
He would go into the city and he would act all effeminate.
So people would fuck with him and then he'd beat the shit out of him.
And his friend would say, why did you do that?
And he said, because if I just kicked his ass, he could get over it.
But if some effeminate guy kicked his ass, that's going to stay with him.
And I want that to be true i can give you the whatever the book is the bruce lee book is uh
it has a red cover i can never remember the name in a black and white photo and he's like this and
just fucking shredded yeah he was opposed to all the other bruce lee photos where he's like 20
pounds overweight sorry i would think that he would probably be a guy who would come up with a bunch of different real-life scenarios
just to test his martial arts
and to become an effeminate guy
and have guys try to beat your ass.
That seems like a good move.
That's pretty badass, I think.
It's a smart move.
Yeah, because most people spend their lives right here
avoiding physical confrontations.
It's like, you know,
once people really started gaining weight
and fucking bloody noses and busted eye sockets, I tapped out.
I was just like, I'm going to tell some jokes.
The only way to really test it is to test it in a real-life situation.
There's a lot of people that look really good in the gym, and then when it comes to an actual fight, they just fall apart in panic.
They just can't do it.
I just think that you need that you got to have a couple under you.
That's like, you know.
A couple of drinks?
No, you got to have a couple of fights and hopefully survive them.
Yeah.
If you don't have a fight, and have you ever seen someone get in a fight that's never been in a fight before and go into a full panic?
No.
I think I've told this story before, but it was at the comedy store.
We're sitting on the patio, and there was this guy, this black guy and a white guy that were fighting in front of the house of blues and they're yelling at each other and it turns physical and as it turns physical
the white guy is in full-on fucking panic mode his eyes are closed and he's literally was this me
flailing this way like this way like not moving his shoulders But his arms are like like he's boxing the guy's ears. That's what he's doing right left right left
I mean his hands are open
He's just absolutely in a full panic and then a bus pulls in front of him and I don't get to see what the fuck
Happened the bus moves past the guys laid out flat out cold the black guys nowhere to be found the white guys
Fucking dead stiff knocked out
people are freaking out
so obviously he got hit
I have no idea what happened
is this bad?
that's a bad move
to do this
and just have your face
right down Broadway
it's a terrible technique
it doesn't hurt your opponent
what about double time?
the good thing about it is
you're being very ethical
like you're not
you're not harming your opponent
you're involved in a physical altercation
but you're not gonna do any damage
that's one of those things
you don't wanna hurt your hands punching somebody's skull.
Or you don't want to fuck up your manicure.
Snoop Dogg.
Snoop Dogg has his nails did.
Wow.
He gets French tips, I guess.
Different colors.
White, black, white, black.
He's got the French tips.
Yeah.
Okay.
He's Snoop Dogg.
He can do it.
Remember when Tate used to do his nails?
Oh, yeah.
Tate used to have colored nails.
That whole alpha nail polish thing,
there's a lot of dummies that were doing that for a while.
They all got off of it.
Roger Huerta had that chick for a while.
But I feel like that's the type of shit
that when you almost start dressing like a chick,
you actually get more pussy,
like more women coming.
Like that rock star thing,
that androgynous fucking look.
You start borrowing their clothes,
the next thing you know, they're blowing blowing you that's how i heard it with that
well what's really funny is that and hit judas priest like judas priest started a lot of the
metal stuff rob halford you know all the snm dressing yeah snm dressing and people didn't
realize he was gay as fuck right here i had no idea rob halford was gay as fuck and he got all
these guys to essentially dress like gay S&M guys.
Yeah.
Like, that was what became the look.
It was brilliant.
But that's how much of a bad motherfucker he is.
He made people kind of go against their instincts.
One of the great front men.
Oh.
And then another thing, too.
He basically was completely 100%, other than Freddie Mercury, who was literally in a band called Queen
and we're just
so dumb
like no
he's fine
bro he's straight
he sings good
that's all
don't be homophobic
like it matters
yeah
time after time
dude Freddie Mercury
I mean that
that fucking guy
that live aid set
is one of the
I would put that up
against anybody's
performance yeah ever well he was a bad motherfucker That fucking guy. That Live Aid set is one of the... I would put that up against anybody's performance ever.
Well, he was a bad motherfucker.
Dude, he turned Wembley Stadium into a fucking coffee house.
He had them, everybody, like the fucking back row.
That guy was unbelievable.
Yeah, he was sensational.
He was a really unique talent.
Like, there was no one like him before because he
was such a combination of like masculinity and femininity and expression i never noticed any of
that i was just like this fucking guy you can't stop watching him and his his his uh his singing
was incredible and he was better live as good as the albums were he's one of the few guys that was
actually fucking better live wow um i
haven't seen anybody come close to that guy wow since wow that's a strong anybody anybody you
got anybody that could fucking hold a hundred thousand people in the palm of his hand after
you had to follow all those other beasts you know it's true you had to go after robert plant jimmy
page that one didn't go well that was that was one of the ones that didn't go out which is why
2007 went so well,
because they were like,
we can't do that again.
They put it together at the last fucking second,
and then you had like,
they had two drummers at the same,
can you please whisper that in my ear
during my act tonight?
It's hard to go after Zeppelin.
It's so hard to go after Zeppelin.
You were the first guy to call me up.
You called me up and left a message about Zeppelin.
You called me up. You're like, you're a message about Zeppelin. You called me up.
You're like, you're not going to fucking believe this.
But you got to go on YouTube.
You're not going to fucking believe this.
They stole everything.
They fucking stole everything.
I didn't say that.
I was saying that they fucking, there's this thing there called, the song remains the same.
And they were showing how many.
Dude, they're right now going to trial on Stairway to Heaven.
And you called me about this.
It was many years ago
it's devastating to me
I still love John Bonham
I actually still love their music
because I still have all
because it is still great
and I still
it's great
and I have all those
childhood memories
of where I was
when I was going on
but like
I you know
it's like the Cosby thing
you just hope it isn't true
well
the Zeppelin thing to me
you know
stealing a riff
raping women
you know
what a shithead
that latest one with the 15 year olds the worst yeah the Cosby thing is very different You know, stealing a riff, raping women. What a shithead.
That latest one with the 15-year-olds, the worst.
Yeah, the Cosby thing is very different, obviously.
But the thing about Zeppelin that got me was that every band is influenced by every other band.
Every band.
I mean, you're going back to everybody who you're fans with.
And there's guys that sound like guys because that was their music.
And I think a lot of us as comics were even influenced. No one ever got sued for being influenced.
No one ever got sued for a problem.
That was my point.
That was my point.
Sorry.
My point was,
but there's a certain line that you cross,
that they crossed,
where they were stealing riffs,
the opening, the stairway to heaven.
It's like, my God, it's the same thing.
It's still a legend.
It seems like the same thing to me. I don't want you to get in trouble when you're selling me undies on this.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
Thievery.
But it made me like them less.
I know the music is still amazing, but it made me like them less.
That was devastating.
Yeah.
But they're still bad.
Well, I have a bootleg of theirs, of them at like the Whiskey or something,
and they have a song called Killing Floor that sounds like the Lemon song.
And then by the time it's out on Led Zeppelin 2, it's called the Lemon song.
And then later they got sued for that by the guy who wrote Killing Floor.
So it's not like they didn't know.
That's one of those things where it's just like, dude,
you obviously knew that you were calling it Killing Floor as a cover,
and then you switched some of the lyrics and then called it the Lemon Song.
That's fucking...
But I don't know if this is...
To me, this is just me as completely uneducated looking at this shit.
I just know that that just is a little suspect.
But just, obviously, I'm not a musician, so I don't fucking...
I don't know.
I don't want it to be true.
I don't want it to be true either, but that it to be true either but that's the same thing as the
cosby stuff nobody wants i mean this i was reading this chris rock article it's a really interesting
chris rock article where he's talking about um people being offended by everything and that's
why he doesn't do colleges anymore because they're just looking to be offended at things and they're
just too easy to offend but you know he was saying that he just doesn't want it to be true
and i think everybody feels like that except the people that obviously were raped by him.
Well, they would want it not to be true because then they wouldn't be raped.
Right.
So, yeah.
So, like, all of, like, yeah, you don't want that to happen to somebody.
And then also this person that you hold as a comedian, you know.
Ugh.
We almost went to see him, too.
We were planning on taking a trip to Vegas.
I saw him earlier this year.
Did you?
Yep.
Where'd you see him?
I saw him out in Pasadena at a theater, and I met him about a year and a half ago.
Yeah?
It was fucking amazing.
Really?
It was amazing.
It was fucking amazing.
His set was amazing?
Yeah, everything.
Yeah.
Yeah, when he went to go see the guy.
I mean, you're talking about a guy, you know.
Yeah.
77 years, 76, 77 years years old was excited about his new special
and was like well i'm gonna tell you how i shot this thing and then he was just animated so
fucking excited about his new special and it was just like to see a guy that far into it still that
excited about stand-up like dude like that gave me a charge for like weeks wow and uh you know so
like i said i hope it's not true yeah but you really hope it's not true for the victims more so than him.
But you're just focusing on him, though.
But if you're doing that, then the victims are crazy liars.
Alleged victim.
Well, I mean, then, you know.
That's better to be a crazy liar than a rape victim.
I would rather a person to be a crazy liar than to be a rape victim.
Especially-
And I think they would, too.
Being raped by Bill Cosby.
This new one's interesting because the girl says she was 15.
Yeah, you said that.
And he took her to the Playboy Mansion.
Alleged.
Allegedly.
But when you go to the Playboy Mansion, they have your name on records.
Like every person that goes there has to put their name down and all their information down.
So there might be actual proof that she was 15 and he took her to the Playboy Mansion.
We right now sound like one of those bad news programs.
So there might be.
We might have some information later.
So hang around for that.
But like, not belittling the point of where,
but that's just fucking brutal.
It's crazy that this all happened
out of Hannibal Buress's joke.
Like him talking about it on stage.
No, somebody filming,
the person who put it up should be getting credit
because Hannibal didn't do that
and he shouldn't be getting the grief either.
It was a fucking great joke.
It was a funny joke.
Yeah.
It's a joke.
Yeah.
And then it became
a funny bit.
Possible fact.
I actually felt bad for him
because I don't think he wanted that.
I think he just,
I think he was just telling a joke.
Dude,
if some of this shit,
you know,
that's all of that shit
is taken out of,
like everything,
like these fucking people
who take your shit,
they do the same thing
that a news,
like a,
a biased news channel
or like a political ad will do like i did this rant making fun of cubs fans versus white socks
fans and the reason why i did it was because recently chicago had beaten a boston team
and all i wanted to do was cause infighting okay i didn't believe a fucking word of it and i and i
went on this whole thing and then i paused and in the end i said i'm just fucking with you guys i'm just mad because blah blah blah
they lopped that part off and now it's just a standalone piece that i'm shitting all over
cubs fans and i'm defending white socks fans and what was funny was i took a wild guess and i
actually people like dude this is like fucking dead on this is exactly the way it is it's like
i didn't know that.
But the point of it is, is that they went up there and they deliberately lopped off the thing where I say it's just a joke.
So there's that.
And I got a special this Friday, man.
You really tried to fucking be interested in that dumb story for the whole time. just all you had there was just went that's a story bill i don't know where to go with that man no i'm thinking
about this culture of trying to catch people doing things like that and you know and get upset at
them especially when it's clearly a joke man i had a whole bit in my act about the difference
between jokes that you say on stage like being in court and giving a fucking affidavit like i i was i have a whole bit in my last special about lying i'm like
i lie on stage all the time like if you watch any of my act and you go i don't i'm i don't see
things the way this guy i don't either i don't see these things the way i see i'm talking about
fucking around yeah i'll say shit that i don't believe in if it's funny and that's i think part
of what chris rock was saying is that people are getting offended yeah i don't and i don't think comics i don't think comics should apologize unless they
actually meant it in the malicious way that the person took it like if you you know you can go
on stage in a bad mood and you can deliberately get in and someone can heckle you or do something
and then you get mad you deliberately try to fucking piss them off and uh you know you might
owe somebody an apology then but you don't have to
go on tv and fucking apologize to the country people are doing it because they're scared they
don't want to lose their careers then they they also they people have demanded an apology you
you can kind of say whatever you want that's not true you know you have a career so what are you
talking about i have a stand-up career but the thing is not true. You know you have a career. So what are you talking about? You're talking shit.
You've got a great career.
I have a stand-up career, but the thing is, as of yet, I do not have a TV show.
Once you have the TV show-
You're better off without it.
That's when-
You're better off without it.
Oh, fuck you.
You wait until this animated show that I'm doing comes out, dude.
You wait.
You wait.
Well, you're doing great stand-up, though.
Yeah, I know.
I'm not saying I'm not.
I'm just saying, but the animated thing was the perfect
way to go into tv because you can get away with anything yeah because you can't you're not going
to offend anybody with these animated people like is what what message is this going to send to
animated children you know what i mean what about all the three-fingered fucking
yellow-headed people out there what What are they going to think?
That I just pissed off Asians?
No.
Somebody got hurt in a war?
Yellow-headed?
As long as they're like square heads, like SpongeBob, you're okay.
Yeah, I was thinking Simpsons.
Ah, there you go.
Now someone will cut it off there and just be like...
Yeah, what are you going to do?
You're always...
Whenever he's saying anything on stage, it's controversial.
You're always going to open yourself up to opportunistic people that just want clickbait.
There's no such thing as controversy in stand-up comedy.
There's no such thing.
It is manufactured controversy.
It's all complete horseshit.
It's one person in the crowd.
The amount of times that they've showed clips of comics who said something controversial,
you literally hear the crowd laughing on the fucking tape.
Everybody's laughing, taking it as a joke and one fucking person and then you know and then you just take
it out of context which is out of the comedy club i mean i'm trying to think of a joke any of my
jokes that i could do on the news that wouldn't seem like you know i'm doing this bit about isis
and how they're not a threat and i'd like to see him try to invade florida where silences are legal
and see how far they fucking get now that's silly and ridiculous and funny in a threat and I'd like to see them try to invade Florida where silences are legal and see how far they fucking get.
Now,
if that's silly
and ridiculous
and funny
in a comedy club,
you then put that
on Fox News.
Bill Burr says
ISIS is not real.
And we're not over there
to get these people
freed up.
Well,
what about the soldiers
that died?
When we return,
the controversial tape
will be played.
What about the soldiers that died?
We have a soldier here from
Florida
that actually confronted ISIS. When we return,
he listens to what Bill said.
And then after that show, Nancy
Grace will pick it up on the next hour.
Bill Burr, the stand-up
comedian. You might
have seen him on such shows
as Breaking Bad.
Bad.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say she's a hot shit if you went out and drank with her.
Do you think so?
She would just laugh and be like, yeah, it's a fucking show.
Do you think she's just being a good...
Well, she was a prosecutor, wasn't she?
Do you know how much my face hurts to pretend to be that mad every episode?
I love coming out here and smoking a little weed and fucking getting to relax my eyebrows.
I eat Twinkies.
I get foot massages no i think she would be fun as hell to hang out with
and just actually get into an argument with it's just uh she makes unfortunate faces on tv
i think she's probably exactly like she comes off on tv i bet that's her um nah dude you're
telling me right now you me and nancy grace driving to vegas
we wouldn't be laughing our fucking asses off you and i would be laughing our asses off but
it'd probably get ugly with her pretty quick we would i i would by the inland empire she would
loosen up you think so yeah we'd shut off our cell phones you're not being recorded just fucking
i was held hostage by profanity.
Farts.
Outrageous comedy.
That's the show she'd do, but she'd have a good time over.
They ear rape me for four hours.
Now, this is what you do.
Nancy, what fucking guest, what's the worst guest you ever had?
You just wanted to reach through the screen and punch them in the face,
and then she'd be telling a funny story, and then we'd be in.
That's it. we'd be in. That's it.
We'd be in.
You'd ask her about the Duke Lacrosse case,
whether she was unfairly accusing them
of something they didn't do.
I don't watch the show.
I don't watch the show.
What's funny about her is she looks like
Ozzy Osbourne in like 1985
during the Ultimate Sin Tour.
Like when she wears the black eyeliner sometimes,
I literally...
A better looking Ozzy, of course. Well, a more dainty Ozzy. Cintor? Like when she wears the black eyeliner sometimes? I literally...
A better looking Ozzy, of course. Well,
a more dainty Ozzy.
More feminine. More Bruce Jenner-esque.
Less hard road Ozzy.
America
in trouble.
The youth of today.
Today.
You know, I saw something. I don't know why this
reminded me of... Oh oh i think shaving down
your adam's apple was i was thinking of i actually uh i don't know sometime i started
talking about torture or some shit on my one of my podcasts and someone was showing the devices
you know the rack the rack where they would they put you on they tie your legs and they would crank
it okay and these guys did an experiment was what gave way was it your tendons or whatever you know what it was they actually discovered it
was the bone oh god bone fucking broke or pulled away they put like it was the creepiest thing
ever where they were just like this is a pig's ankle which is the closest to a human's ankle
at which point you're sitting at home going okay like if they said it was a yak like i would argue
i have no fucking idea so they put this thing on
there and they start they tied this little hoof with part of its knee saying it was just as much
like the knee you got to see this thing and they start cranking this thing and you're hearing it
every time it gave way you heard a noise they would do an x-ray and you know these fucking
scientists are so oh this is interesting this is. The patella is still there and the,
as you see,
the medial cartilage,
fucking whatever the hell,
ligaments.
But what we're seeing
is we're seeing a stress
in the actual femur,
which would be a femur.
And they fucking kept doing it
and what gave way,
it was,
I guess,
it was the slowness of it
that made the bone break
and not the fucking tendons
where if you just get hit quick
or something like that,
the tendons, you know, I hit quick or something like that the tennis
I you know I'm so fucking stupid. I can't remember what they came conclusion with but it actually broke your fucking bones. Oh
It's amazing what inventions people came up with just to fuck you up more like to make you more in pain while they were killing
You I said the two things that I've ever seen this for a few actually maybe cats
two things that i've ever seen there's very few actually maybe cats monkeys and human beings i thought you're gonna say the musical cats the most it was breaking my bones the most sadistic
like cats the way they catch a mouse and then fucking let the thing get away and then get it
again and give it hope and take it away like you get the death penalty that's like somebody begging
for their fucking life right yeah i saw this video one time, this chimpanzee, like, you know, basically in the last 10, 12 years, they've discovered that, like, chimpanzees like the occasional steak and want to eat another monkey because they thought that they were vegetarians.
So this fucking monkey trapped this small chimpanzee trapped this smaller one.
And he's basically standing on the fucking thing up in a tree.
on the fucking thing up in a tree and rather than just snapping its fucking neck it's taking its finger and its thumb and just digging flesh out of its fucking back and eating it as the monkey
is underneath it just screaming yeah bloody fucking murder and you just sit and i dude if i
had a gun i would have blown that thing's fucking brains out just out of principle i've seen that
i've seen that right yeah i've seen that video Turn the neck, right? Yeah. I've seen that video.
I've seen a bunch of those videos with chimps.
They like to eat.
I fucking hate chimpanzees.
You should.
They're scary animals.
They are.
They definitely should be respected.
But they like to eat the organs first.
They eat them while they're alive.
They just grab the, apparently the organs are the most delicious part to them.
So while they're holding on to the monkeys, they're not trying to kill them first.
They're just trying to go right to the guts and start eating
oh oh dude it's just getting back so you get back to the rack like how could you the fucking agony
you're putting somebody through i couldn't do that i couldn't do that to somebody don't you
think it was that was during the time when first of all people died like way way quicker like people didn't live very long
They lived to be like if you're lucky you got 50 years in holy shit
I gotta live to be 50 most people the infant mortality rate was really high
They were constantly at war war was at close range
So war involved like swords and arrows and you think about shots. Yeah, the kind of fuck out of us
Fucking flaming bodies, know they used to literally
light bodies on fire because human fat is like a good way of lighting buildings on fire because
it's so disgusting so when they would light us on fire they would light human bodies on fire
and launch them in catapults would they at least kill them first yeah probably maybe i don't know
whatever they wanted to do i guess a very green way to attack somebody. I'm sure people...
Let's get back to what you were saying.
Were they just going to use all the fucking fuel?
They'll figure out a way to just have no waste.
We use the waste and it becomes fuel.
But that kind of life where you're subject to violence and brutality on a regular basis.
But were they, or was that like the movies?
Well, the movies, they only show the wars.
They don't just show it when they're hanging out playing like a flute.
You know what?
I think there was probably a lot of war going on pretty much all throughout human history.
I just feel like you could hide so much easier back then.
In the woods?
Yeah, you just run into the woods.
Yeah, there was no GPS.
You hear them coming.
You hear the
floor fucking moving you come to horses back there you have to figure out a way to get away
from the wolves yeah but you weren't going down to whole foods you were hunting your own food you
were self-sufficient right but you had to have your bow and arrow and all that stuff you like
to be close to town have a fucking blacksmith nearby like when you're out there in the woods
by yourself it's probably pretty pretty hard scrabble life.
No house.
Absolutely, but you know something?
Anything that's going to kill you,
I was thinking shoot at you and kill you,
kill at you.
Anything that's going to kill you out there,
it's going to be real quick.
Dude, if a mountain lion ever fucking ran at me,
I'd fucking just give him the neck.
Get it over with, dude.
I've gotten scratched by a fucking house cat.
You think I want to fucking fuck with you?
Goddamn 140 pound cat.
And proportionate.
As far as the strongest house cats or the strongest cats,
it's house cats are some of the strongest pound for pound.
And mountain lions are right up there with them.
Stronger even than some other cats that are terrifying to us.
No, they fight off bears, according to my YouTube video watching.
They do.
They definitely do.
Hey, who's doing all the animal shit now?
Is it Animal Planet?
Is that where Discovery just went all cars?
Like they don't fucking do anything anymore.
Discovery?
Yeah, Discovery is-
They don't do any animals anymore.
Well, there's a lot of shows like TLC used to be the learning channel.
What do they do now? Reality? That's all reality. It's a history channel. That tlc used to be the learning channel what do they do now
reality that's all reality it's a history channel that's tlc is honey boo boo you know what happened
history channel is they they just ran out of war footage they just really just got we got nothing
and then they had to show like nothing is interesting to anybody anymore unless there's
footage like i hate it when they would do like even like some of the civil war shit they would
have to reenact it because before remember when we were kids they would just have drawings of it
and they would sort of pan the camera across from it
and it would put you to sleep
and then World War II was the shit
because they were just showing planes getting shot down
and all of that
it was like a movie
they had History Channel
had like a lot of Nazi shows
they had a bunch of those
and then I think after a while
they just realized there's more money in idiots
there's more money in just reality TV it's just after a certain point in time they become a
network well i mean what i think happened was a bunch of people were watching reality and weren't
watching their shows on the rise of the third arc reich whatever in the night of the long knives or
whatever the fuck then just no one cared anymore and they're just like all right if that's what
you want they have shit on like ancient aliens. Like they have, I mean, how many episodes of ancient aliens have they done?
I totally believe in aliens, but I don't think anybody has figured out a way to travel from planet to planet.
Really?
And actually live.
I think it's possible, but I think they're way too invested in it being real.
Eventually we could figure it out, but we're going to destroy each other first.
And I think everything kind of... You destroy yourselves.
That's God's, I think,
fucking checks and balances.
Alright, I made this thing smart enough to figure out
how to get over to this other pod of people that I made,
but they got jealousy and
envy, and I want credit.
And I want a producer credit on your fucking
rocket ship and all that shit, and like...
They're all going to destroy each other first.
We'll destroy each other.
Before we figure even out how to get to fucking Mars by a spell.
What are you going to do?
First of all, how do you have enough air to get there?
Air?
Like in the-
Like oxygen.
You'd have to have something that generates oxygen.
You'd have to have something that processes carbon dioxide, generates oxygen.
The harder thing would be, you could probably do that.
But that thing's going to last.
So I guess the question is.
Well, plants do that, right?
Is that what plants do?
But that's going to last all the way to Mars.
Six months.
It's got to last six months.
Yeah, I don't know.
You think it takes six months to get to Mars?
I think that's what they're saying.
I think they're saying it takes six months.
No, it doesn't.
I mean,
think about how far
the moon is.
The moon,
it took like seven days.
Are you just fucking with me
because you know all this shit?
No, it takes six months
to get to Mars.
It does not.
How long do you think it'll take?
Fucking years.
No, I'm pretty sure
it's six months.
Let's see.
How many months
to get to Mars?
He's got a creepy tone right now.
I'm pretty sure it's six months.
Let's see. I could be wrong. Two Mars? He's got a creepy tone right now. I'm pretty sure it's six months. I could be wrong.
That was very self-deprecating.
It's possible.
Precise six to eight months.
Because Mars and Earth's orbits are perfectly circular.
But that's like just a drone, though.
To actually get a person there.
No, no.
This is for a person.
This is for a person.
They're talking about the manned space travel to mars mission where they're actually going to have to
stay there which is really fucked up these people are gonna it's gonna take uh about six months to
get there dude you realize the fucking balls that that takes unbelievable i'm going to another
fucking planet forever and what once you break the Earth's gravitational pull,
what is stopping you from missing Mars when that fucker comes around?
Calculations.
I know that, but I'm saying if those things are off.
Yeah, they never are, though.
Jerry, speed up! Speed up!
You're going to miss it!
Can you go by it?
Now you're heading towards fucking, what's the next one?
Saturn?
Jupiter?
They're pretty good at figuring out.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn.
Yeah.
Neptune.
Uranus.
Uranus.
Pluto.
It's not fucking Pluto anymore.
They're bringing it back though, right?
No.
Where'd you hear that?
I heard recently that they're considering
bringing it back as a planet.
Did you hear that
or did you actually read that on a website?
This is how they should promote that.
They should have like,
when they bring Pluto back,
they should have the scientists
dressed in like bell bottoms and shit
with like the fucking Travolta thing, you know?
Like they're bringing back like disco or some shit.
Oh God.
No?
No.
We're bringing it back.
We're bringing it back.
Come on, man.
I thought you were going to say they were dressed up like Pluto.
No, that's two on the fucking nose.
Two on the nose.
You know what I hate?
You know what I hate in a joke writer room?
Is that's a hat on a hat.
That's a hat on a hat when you have like a joke within a joke.
Right.
Like it's like say whatever the joke is, you fall off the fucking chair and then you want
to add another layer to it. They go, that's a hat on a hat.
And it's just like, so what?
If it's still, but they don't understand, like, taglines.
If it's still funny.
If it's funny still, it's funny.
But if it's not funny, it's not funny.
No, if you have a hat on a hat, that's funny.
How come I can't look at the other fucking hat the next time I watch it, because I didn't
even notice it?
If you have a hat on a hat, and the hat's funny, funny that's what i think yeah i think you're like they're acting
like funny plus funny equals not funny i think how does that how does that work i think that's
just a lack of it's just a the the different mentality that a comic has versus there's
definitely like a place you can go where it's not funny anymore or you've added too many jokes
or you ruin the original joke.
But I think writers have a different perspective.
Yeah, and granted, they write for a living and I don't.
Yeah, but I just think their perspective is a scene as opposed to your perspective, which is like stand-up.
You know, looking at it stand-up wise, a hat on a hat's hilarious.
No, I'm looking at it like this is going to, yeah, I just think it's fucking funny.
Yeah.
I think as many layers as you can add to it, it just keeps getting funnier.
And then if people don't even get it, that's fucking funny.
Like, why would you even sit there?
Why would you fucking sit there and make that goddamn rule?
I mean, I guess, you know, I'm going against all these successful shows.
So, whatever.
Yeah, I just think there's a different style of writing too don't
you think there's a different style the way like you write for stand-up and the way you write or
you would write for a television show it's just a different kind of writing i barely know what i'm
talking about ever so um i just maybe i'm just frustrated pitching jokes and then somebody going
that's a hat on a hat i'd like a hat on a a hat. Well, see, that's why I'm telling you, a guy like you, your best shit is you just being you without anybody that you have to pitch it to.
Because, you know, you have a very-
A year from now, when I show up with the six episodes of F is for Funny, I think you're going to have-
Yeah, but you're talking about a cartoon.
I'm always 100% for cartoons. I'm going to belittle my fucking show. I love it. Animated. have yeah but you're talking about a cartoon i'm always 100 for cartoons little my fucking i love it animated whatever you call it it's a cartoon
like if you look at like the most innovative dangerous comedy on tv ever it's south park
because they can get away with that dude those guys they've done the best social commentary for
like 17 years they don't get the credit they deserve yeah not even close they're
animals they're the best they're and they're they're so innovative they're just constantly
coming up with new shit like every week the genius is the for their social commentary is because
how simplistic the animation is yeah that those guys are like but they can just churn them out
but like how finished and polished it is yeah as a brand new joke coming right out of the gate the first time they air it where they just fucking nail it.
I think it's going to, for whatever reason, I feel like they're going to have to do it for 30 years and then tell people that they're leaving before they're finally going to just acknowledge.
They're going gonna get the
fucking mark twain award and all that stupid shit that you're supposed to get well they get
acknowledgement just by everybody loving them i mean their show is they they have pretty much
total autonomy over at comedy central they kind of get away with whatever they want i mean they
could they could pull off shit on their show that no one could ever pull off on another show i just
don't think people give them enough credit.
Yeah.
I'm not going to change that argument, Joe.
I'm with you.
I don't think they give them enough credit either.
But either way, they can do so much because it's a cartoon.
And their characters never get old.
They don't have to worry about their character.
Like, J.J. from Good Times, that shit wouldn't have been funny if he was 80.
Yeah, their stuff is...
Dynamite!
Will you shut the fuck up?
Like, what are you talking about?
Yeah, no, the...
JJ from Good Times.
Where did I pull that one out of my...
Well, now that you brought up South Park, I don't think it's going to be that funny,
but I think it's going to be amusing.
It's going to be an amusing show.
Your show?
Yes.
What's it based on?
Childhood stories.
Oh, your childhood stories.
Yeah.
Well, basically, everybody in the writer's room at that point. Oh. So, I just got sick of people groaning about my childhood stories oh your childhood stories yeah well basically everybody in the writer's room at that point
oh
so I just got sick of people
groaning about my childhood stories
comedy
I was like
well what if I fucking animate them
now what are you gonna groan at
huh
wow
get back at everybody Bill
that animated
yeah it's fucking annoying
why are you going to
Indianapolis Bill
it's
no it's fucking annoying
that should be a t-shirt that you sell i know i watched that
a story that you told last time you were on the podcast about the guy next to you on the airplane
oh yeah questioning you about going to indianapolis i watched that my most one of the
most fun i ever had on a flight was when he said i'm gonna push this button and as we're taxiing
down um taxing over to where we're gonna take off and i was i was just
all right let's let's see what happens and he was sitting there reaching for the fucking thing and
i'm just sitting there all right let's see let's see what happens go ahead push the button so this
um this animated show that you wrote who did you uh do it with did you do it all by yourself or did
you bring somebody with uh mike price from the simpsons
oh great yeah it was just a fucking force and he put up he put together this murderer's row of uh
a writing room and um and then the produce the production company is uh um wild west which is
vince vaughn's company that's how the whole thing like I was just going to make little five-minute vignettes and
put them on my website.
And then... I don't know.
I don't know what happened.
Steve Byrne. I opened for him or something like that.
We were working together or some shit and Vince was there.
Saw my act. Wanted to see me.
Hey, come in and take a general.
And I had no idea.
No ideas. No nothing.
I just took a general. They're like, we like you. If you ever have anything... Took a general meeting. No ideas, no nothing. And it was, I just took a general, like, we like you.
If you ever have anything, you know, blah, blah, blah.
Took a general meeting for the folks who don't know what the fuck we're talking about.
General meeting, yeah.
And I was just walking out.
And as I walked out, I was like, you know, I kind of got this idea for a cartoon.
And they wanted to do one.
They went, sit down.
And three fucking years later.
Wow.
We are one year away from it coming out.
I mean, it just works slowly.
Slowly.
And what is the hardest nobody was
didn't want nobody wanted the idea and everything and the whole thing was dead in the water and then
vince was the guy who's like let's go over to netflix and you know that guy's an animal man
he's in there in the fucking pitch meeting selling this fucking thing and and then netflix was like
ridiculously supportive they're like you, do whatever you want.
Netflix is doing some wild shit, dude.
Push it further, yeah.
Do you see the ad for Marco Polo?
Mm-mm.
Marco Polo's a new series that Netflix is doing
on Marco Polo and Genghis Khan.
It's like this huge fucking epic series that they're doing.
They have that Orange is the New Black.
They're doing stand-up comedy specials.
Like, they're becoming like a real legitimate network right before our eyes.
They're beyond that because they're international
and they are so ahead of the game that all you're going to see
is just people trying to rip off their business model
is what's going to happen.
You know, it's the usual thing.
Like, what are these guys doing?
Oh, they're not going to fucking blah, blah, blah blah and all of a sudden okay all right and then you know next thing you know
you become the person yeah and then everybody's like oh that's the way you do it monkey see monkey
do and then i just think people will try to rip off what they're gonna do but they they're at the
uh you know they're on point so yeah so they're cutting their way through the jungle, they're on point. Yeah. So they're cutting their way through the jungle,
so they're still going to be out in front of everybody.
So I think it's going to be very hard for, I don't know,
maybe the fourth person who tries to rip it off.
There might be room for two other people to try to rip off what they're doing.
You know what I mean? And then you have like three, like ABC, NBC, CBS of international television.
Well, what they're doing that's unique is that they're taking the money
and they're making their own shit.
That's the big thing.
They've been doing it for a while.
I did my comedy special with them in 2005
that was originally on Netflix,
and then it got sold to Showtime.
But they were, even back then,
I mean, that's nine fucking years ago,
they were taking chances and funding comedy specials.
And now they're doing real originals,
that Kevin Spacey show. House of Cards. House of Cards. taking chances and funding comedy specials and now they're doing real originals that kevin spacey
show that um house of cards you know they're doing jack horseman yeah it's been killing it
um and your show they're doing a lot of chelsea peretti her stand-up is on netflix her new show
um i think um chelsea handler doesn't she have like a whole series she has a talk show yeah she left her talk show
as far as I know
on
E
I think it was on E
to go do a talk show
on Netflix
left the E network
yeah
to go to Netflix
that's like
that would not
she
I mean I don't want to speak for her
but I don't think that move
gets made
two three years ago
just shows you how quickly
it changes
you'd be like
wait a minute
but I'm on
I'm on television.
She's got so much fucking money, though.
She probably doesn't give a fuck.
You know what I mean?
Can you make that much money on E?
Oh, yeah.
She's got a lot of money, man.
Oh, yeah.
Howard Stern is a youngie.
She's a very, well, she's also, it's not just that.
It's books.
She saw a lot of books.
You know, she's in that stage, too, where she has this giant amount of fans that can just follow her anywhere she goes.
Yeah, I don't know how that works.
I don't get, like, how do you have a TV show and write a fucking book?
I don't know.
And do stand-up constantly.
Yeah.
I mean, she does a lot of shit.
She's just constantly working. Yeah, that's, I mean, she does a lot of shit. She's just constantly working.
Yeah, that's, I mean, I'm never going to be that busy.
I couldn't handle that.
Yeah, I'm too busy right now.
I think there's a certain level of busy where you just like, you can coast.
You can like keep the fire burning at a certain temperature, certain RPMs.
But it goes up and down.
When it goes up, it's like, ooh, it's getting a little hot.
I would think just having a TV show and trying to keep that thing on the rails and just prevent
someone from coming in and fucking it up would be hard enough.
That's a big thing, preventing someone from coming in and fucking it up.
Right.
Because that's a real issue.
Someone could definitely come in and fuck it up.
Yeah, because they want credit.
Yeah.
You have to implement
something that I said
and again
that's all negative shit
I wanna get to that
I had a good time
you're just trying to
whitewash all that
no no
that hasn't happened to me
that hasn't happened to me
but I just
I don't wanna get into this
it's an old fucking conversation
that uh
yeah
everybody knows it
that happens in every
fucking business
you know look at the
Geek Squad
that was a great thing
and then Best Buy
was like
how dare you make money without us and then they fucking absorbed it nobody uses this know, look at the Geek Squad. That was a great thing. And then Best Buy was like, how dare you make money without us?
And then they fucking absorbed it.
Nobody uses that shit anymore.
What was the Geek Squad before Best Buy?
It was just a bunch of nerds who would fucking, it's like Uber.
They'd run around fixing your computers.
And they dressed like nerds, like with the black ties and the white fucking short-sleeved shirt.
And then Best Buy bought them?
And then they bought them.
And I've never seen it.
It was cool.
They showed up.
It was funny.
They were like embracing
being nerds
this was like 10 years ago
they had the
half of them had fucking glasses
and they came over
and they just fixed your shit
and it kind of had like
this spy vibe to it
geek squad
and they showed up
dressed like nerds
but also kind of like
a little Pulp Fiction-esque
except without the jacket
and it was
it was fucking cool
I wasn't aware of them
back then
yeah and then
yeah
they drove around in little beetles yeah were you aware of them back then. Yeah, and then, yeah.
They drove around in little Beetles.
Yeah.
Were you aware of them?
Oh, yeah.
Before Best Buy bought them?
Yeah.
Maybe I wasn't.
I forgot. I use them right now.
My fucking laptop died.
What happened?
Do you use a Mac laptop?
Are you one of those guys that hates Apple?
What happened?
I got frustrated.
Honestly, I got frustrated, and I slammed it shut.
Was it an Apple laptop or a Windows laptop?
Apple.
See, I would think you might be one of those guys that goes, you know what?
I'm fucking sick of all this Apple shit.
Everybody uses Apple.
I'm going to go Windows.
I can see you being that guy.
No, what I do is I just keep computers forever.
And I keep iPhones forever.
I'm always at least two numbers behind whatever everybody else has.
Why do you do that?
Because when I say hello, the person can hear me.
What does that mean?
It means I don't need a new fucking phone.
Oh, okay.
So it's fine.
I can already take video.
I don't even need the video.
I want you to gaze, Bill, at this glorious screen.
Look how beautiful.
Look how big that stupid ass fucking thing is
How dare you first of all
First of all how dare you
Second of all the camera on this thing is fucking substantial
Dude you gotta see
The new camera on the
iPhone 6
That's what I'm saying
When I point that at my dick
Dude you can see the fucking helmet
It's a great goddamn picture
A picture of Joey Diaz It's a great goddamn picture. A picture of Joey Diaz?
It's a great goddamn picture.
It's too clear.
It's fantastically clear.
Look how good that is.
Yeah.
It's huge.
Joey does not look like that in real life.
Technology has gone beyond what you've seen.
But young Bill Burr, he does look like that.
Huh?
He does look like that.
You're looking at him in a little tiny four-inch.
I'm not going to try to talk you out of your phone.
You obviously love it.
Good for you. I'm happy for you. I'm happy for you. You made a little tiny 4-inch. I'm not going to try to talk you out of your phone. You obviously love it. Good for you.
I'm happy for you.
How dare you?
You made me feel bad about my purchase.
I'm happy for you.
Bill, I remember a couple years ago you were still using MapQuest.
Do you still use MapQuest?
No, I use the one that's on that thing.
But the one that's on your phone, you mean?
You know what I hate?
I hate the fucking recycled jokes on the internet.
And someone would be like, was this film with a potato?
For the nine millionth time, you're going to write that and be like, can you just pick a different vegetable?
Can you try to be a little bit original?
I do not believe I've ever heard someone ask, is this film with a potato?
Yeah.
It's fucking, it's like this recycled, wait, what?
Like those hacky fucking Twitter jokes. no one ever it's like he's
fucking like it's like mad libs that's true said no one ever is uh pretty common but effective
if used properly like i reserve the right to use said no one ever if i'd fucking have to if it's
right there i gotta admit i admit, I would definitely...
You'd drop a few notches.
I would drop a few notches in your estimation?
I'm looking to drop a few notches.
From the stratosphere that I have you in.
I like to build myself back up.
I like to fail a little.
Nah, once you drop a certain point, you're dead to me.
I'll take that into consideration.
If you said, wait, wait, what?
Wait, what?
And said no one ever, within two hours, if I got two of those tweets from you, I would...
Well, when people say really stupid shit...
I just don't like hacky comedy, including all the people who are now going to watch this and then tweet that to me,
and they just think it's absolutely fucking genius, and not realize that like 9,000 people had the exact same idea.
The water cooler jokes, you know, those fucking just... Right. Yeah yeah you know me you know about the shit that colin quinn makes
fun of those fucking hacks colin quinn he's the best at it because people don't even know he's
joking like you know like one of the beautiful things about knowing colin and then knowing his
tweets is that some people are reading his tweets and they might not get it at all they might think
do you remember the colin quinn show he had on nbc he had one of the greatest fucking sketches and it was like it was
so much fun it was like office humor and i remember bobby kelly's was the funniest one it was the high
five guy at the office and bobby just comes walking by he's just like dude got that new jet ski and he
fucking he like just puts his hand up and you have to high five.
Even the way he high fived was hilarious.
Mine was somehow,
I went up to Greer Barnes,
not Greer Barnes,
I went up to Godfrey
and said some really white shit to him
as Greer Barnes was standing there
delivering a package.
Like, dude, I took a recommendation.
Something like,
Godfrey's Park was hilarious.
Some really stupid white movie.
And then Greer's sitting there looking at Godfrey like he's a fucking salad or whatever i'm totally butchering this but it just totally tapped into like when you work in those fucking offices
the amount of like there's like six jokes and they all just keep telling them that was in um not like
those are the only jokes but there's like six jokes that you can just always get count on at an office for a laugh what was that was on nbc right for how many
episodes did colin's show last it was sort of a season right only one season like six episodes
yeah it was like people were liking it it was like what tough it was just on the raw network
it was what what tough crowd became because he also had this thing where uh patrice and norton
and all
them would be sitting down and just in different areas it was actually shot really cool and uh
they would just be talking about topper so he had like a live thing he had these sketches thing
it was a fucking great show it's a great show he's a funny dude man i when i did tough crowd
i got to see him warm the crowd up you know he does stand up before it and i was like i forgot
how fucking funny Colin Quinn is.
He's really fucking funny.
Really good.
The best was when he first got on Twitter, if you followed him early.
And nobody knew what the fuck he was doing.
Are you doing gang signs over there?
No, I was doing three episodes.
When he first got on Twitter and so many people didn't know what he was doing, it was so fucking funny.
They still don't.
Some of them don't.
Every day people still don't.
But he's like, you know, Zeppelin's such an underrated band.
It's just a shame they never had a hit.
He would do that.
And people are like, what the fuck?
It was like all capitals.
But when you do that, you're trolling like dumb high school kids.
I mean, I don't know.
A lot of it.
I think a lot of adults were falling for that too
when he would talk about
how famous he is
and how,
who the fuck,
somebody stepped down
in something like,
I don't know,
he's always good
for a fucking.
He's a funny fucking comic,
man.
Yeah.
Like watching him do stand up,
like you really get
to appreciate it.
I think even live,
he's one of those guys
you really want to see alive.
Like when you see him,
like even in film, it's like you're missing something.
You're missing some half of the canard.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's amazing.
That show should have never been canceled.
If they're smart, they'd bring back Tough Crowd.
Tough Crowd was a fucking great idea.
It was a great show.
Speaking of that, how weird is it?
There's two shows that have come back.
The Comeback came back. Lisa Kudrow. Yeah, which yeah which was a great show was just sort of ahead of its time but the weirdest
fucking thing i ever saw was when arsenio show came back dude he came back with the same fucking
haircut he maybe looked 10 days older and then had the same guests it and it was just and it was
like 20 years never went by.
It was like,
it's only one of the few times I ever wish
that I did like hallucinogens
because I was just like,
it was blowing my mind.
It blew my fucking mind.
I think he had like Dyson or Eddie or somebody
and it was just like,
I felt like I was like 24 again
and I was just starting out as a comic when I used to watch it going, if I get to do stand-up on this, how am I going to-
How am I going to navigate?
How am I going to cross over to this crowd?
You know, I don't know.
It was just bizarre.
You know, they took over his social media accounts when they did that show.
Who?
Arsenio.
Why?
Because he was being too edgy?
No, no, that's what they do that's
what they do now on a lot of shows they demand to take over your social media and they start
tweeting for you how crazy is that that's like he told me that he's like I'm trying signing over
power of attorney in like a cyberspace kind of way exactly they're like signing their name your
name he was trying to get his facebook back and
his twitter back and i was like what he was telling me he was telling me this at the ice house and i
was like you gotta be fucking kidding me they made you he goes i didn't want to initially but i said
you know what i'm gonna be so busy with the show fuck it let him do it now i'm trying to get it
back i'm like oh my god they just take over your account yeah but if you let him you just say no
exactly no but you gotta be willing to say no.
And it might be a deal breaker.
He's Arsenio.
Go fuck yourself.
You guys came to me.
Yeah, but they, you know, if they're thinking that people want to, they want to be ball players, you know.
Hey, you know, we're willing to work with you.
Like, we want to make the show a hit.
No, I think that's a
that's a sue thing
they don't want to get sued
by you saying something
fucking nuts
and then
I mean if you read
the guy's interviews
our senior's interviews
are always great
because he doesn't give a shit
and he just kind of says
what he's saying
so they're looking at
does he?
yes
says wild shit?
yeah well I mean
I just
he's honest
which does not work
when you got to sell toothpaste and fucking
cars and all that shit in between the comedy so i think that that's that's why look having never
gotten a show on the air joe this is what i feel is going on this is behind the scenes well mcguire
you know chris mcguire was the head writer oh on uh yeah he was the head writer over there so he
you know he told me it was a struggle from the beginning. But it was also that they were trying to do the same show.
They were trying to do the exact same show that they did in the 1990s, which is really strange.
Because Arsenio's a likable guy.
I mean, people love him.
It seems like if you found the right vehicle for him, he would be a great talk show host.
People, he's a genuinely friendly, likable guy.
Yeah, I mean, i said it was it looked
like the exact same fucking show and i felt like did did i just like miss that this thing was still
going on and then he had all these guests from back then i think that that like i think the
whole thing could have uh i don't know if he i don't know i don't i just want to just saw
when i would put it on when it first started. Maybe he just did that the first week.
No, no, he kept doing it.
He kept doing it?
Yeah. Yeah.
That's what they did.
I mean, it might have altered a little bit, but that was essentially a show.
It's hard to do those fucking shows, man.
I can never host a talk show.
No fucking way.
You don't get to choose your guests.
People equate a podcast
To a talk show sometimes
But the thing about a podcast is
You know
I like you
Like I want
I wanted to talk to you today
I texted you
I like you too man
I like you man
But you know what I'm saying
Like I don't have to pretend
It's like if you were some guy
That I didn't know
That was in here
That was pitching something
That I didn't give a fuck about
But the network
Scheduled you
Oh and then my stories are dying
And then you gotta save them Oh those are the worst right and someone would have to jump in well i i feel i
feel bad for uh when when i see a talk show host and has a guest where they're off or they're
they're uh stories aren't working because you see them you see them like glancing down at the card
and they got to like lettermanman's the best at that.
They got to...
Because he'll just openly mock the situation.
He'll just openly mock you if it goes wrong like that.
I know.
He'll just let you sit in it going, okay, yeah.
Do you remember Bill Hicks' bit on Leno?
Oh, the Dorito thing?
Yeah.
Well, the whole thing about having Joeyey lawrence on the show and asking
joey lawrence if he has a girlfriend oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you know and and joey says no well
yes well she thinks so right he pulls a gun out of his drawer and fucking blows his brains out and
his his brains splatter on the wall in the form of an nbc peacock because he's a company man to
the bitter end jesus dude that was word for word I did. I forgot all the part about him changing clips.
He pulls out an Uzi and he suck on an Uzi and he's spraying bullets through his head and he
changes clips. What do you want?'s a fucking hard gig
Leno loves doing that show
that he does now
because of that
he does that car show
online
Jay's Garage
I watch
I go on that all the time
it's fucking great
this fucking car collection
is insane
it's insane
and it's all like
he's got great taste in cars
and he's got these fucking cars
like
those ones where you got like
two shifters
and shit
he's got goggles on and stuff but um he had one a car recently that i of course forget it i
got obsessed with it if you want to look it up he did it was an early uh 70s dotson i think 510
and um they're just the coolest fucking cars if you uh if you put like a new engine in the
suspension and everything.
Because it's like the classic American sedan, but the miniature Asian version of them.
Let's see.
Can you get a picture of it before I stammer into a fucking complete black hole here on this thing?
There you go.
That's the car.
That's such a fucking badass car, man.
Oh, so they did like a resto mod version of an of an old it's an old datsun it's like
a datsun 510 or something like that dude it's got that little fucking the hearse shifter on it man
it just looks so much fucking fun to drive because my brother had a uh the smoothest shifting car i
ever drove he had like an 81 toyota tercel and when you were changing gears in that fucking day
it just was like butter and it was this piece of shit and it was i just couldn't understand that was that that was a really bad time for
american cars where they were deliberately making them to shit the bed at 60 000 miles so you would
get this perpetual car payment at least that's the conspiracy theory of it and all of these fucking
uh toyota cars that dude remember that when they started coming out and the speedometer only went
up to 80 miles an hour yeah and everything i want to speed and not all the gas crisis and all that in the Mustang became the Mustang too
Yeah, became a car like Farrah Fawcett drove on Charlie's Angels. It was such a hunk of shit
It went from being one of the most badass American muscle cars ever to it. Just a total
Plastic shitty shape ugly. They made him ugly too within like five to seven years yeah it became
just an absolute uh and all of there was so many of those held over like uh muscle car names that
just became like a shell of themselves yeah like the cougar ended up becoming this big fat ass
yeah fucking two-door like sedan like was sort of the poor man's like lincoln continental or
something um but whatever he but his his collection of cars is just far as fucking
incredible and just his knowledge of him that's it's really cool well he's really passionate
about it it just shows you when you get a guy doing something that he actually likes to do
like jay leno loves cars it becomes an amazing show when you have him hosted tonight show you're
like he doesn't give a fuck about joey lawrence's tv show he doesn't yeah i always looked at it like he's he's
trying to uh he's you know he's making some money yeah and he's gonna go buy some cars now when i
was a younger comic i used to judge him and be those fucking boos you know back when i thought
i was you know i should be wearing a leather jacket on stage you know like i was saying anything
but now that i've gotten older i I'm like, nah, fuck.
He's doing his show the way he wants to do his show,
and then he wants to go buy some cars.
Yeah, he wanted to make some money, made some money.
Apparently, the word has always been
that he doesn't even spend his Tonight Show money,
that he spends only his stand-up comedy money.
That's where he gets everything,
and then the Tonight Show money all just went into the bank.
Can you imagine if the dollar collapses? Poor bastard. He got all that money. That's where he gets everything. And then the Tonight Show money all just went into the bank. Can you imagine if the dollar collapses?
Poor bastard.
You got all that money.
Like, I don't understand having that all in the bank when your account is insured up to like fucking two, three hundred grand.
Yeah, it's not smart.
And then it's also it is until it isn't.
Well, who knows what all in the bank means, though.
He might have investments.
He might have put it in bonds and mutuals and all that shit.
Dude, you got to convert it. what into cash gold stuff it in your fucking walls and then just or some of it in
gold and then you just got to pray dude like having all of that fucking money and trying to
not what was that book you read when you were in like fifth grade about the guy who catches the big
fish and then he's bringing it into this into inland and all those fish are taking a bite out of it.
And by the end,
he's just left with the skeleton.
That's what it's like having a ton of fucking cash.
Everybody's just going to fucking descend on you.
You know,
you're counting bills.
All of a sudden two plus two equals four is way much fucking more difficult.
They got to charge you $9 million more for your fucking taxes.
Why?
Why?
Because I have it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, that's what they do.
And all of a sudden, everything becomes a big fucking problem.
So you just advocate spending it all as soon as it comes in?
I advocate getting to a certain level of success, getting a machete and a pit bull and sitting on your cash.
You have it right laid out in the living room.
You just sit on a mound of it and you order food.
And have it delivered?
And have it delivered.
You never leave.
And peel bills off the pile to pay for it?
I have no, my, whatever.
Investment portfolio?
Society going to shit.
My plan is I just embrace the fact that you can only kill me once.
That's it.
I'm not going to survive that.
You hope, but what if it's like Groundhog Day?
Keep dying like that new Tom Cruise movie, The Edge of Tomorrow.
Dies over and over.
Spoiler alert.
Well, then I would just get a gun.
And then?
I would just walk around like this and I'd wait for the awful death to come and then i go like that over i like how you thought this through over made a lot of really good points
you know i learned it buying it buying an old house yeah oh you're gonna be the guy who lays
in a shallow grave and waits for people to attack your food supply and then you sit up like a zombie
me no i'll be more clever than that i'll probably set up a fake civilization and then be outside of
that civilization the real civilization like so people come into raid and then fucking launch
down on them these are just words fire what i'm saying yeah it's just words listen i i've planned
this out no if if the shit hits the fan i hope i'm where the fan explodes that's what i think
too yeah like if yellowstone blows and we wind up living in some sort of a perpetual nuclear winter for the next hundred years, I hope the lava lands on my fucking head.
I don't want to be one of those hardscrabble people out there in Antarctica trying to eat seals and stay alive.
Nope.
Reinvent the wheel.
No, I don't.
Fuck that.
Because what you're going to gonna do then what are you
gonna do yeah that's like civilization went through a divorce right and they're the guy
that gets like the flop house you know what i mean like you're just you're just you're just
gonna you're never gonna build it back up in your lifetime so why not leave with a flat screen tv
watching mma shit whatever you want to fucking watch.
And then the,
I used to do a bit about that.
Just when that Korean,
that little fatty there over in Korea was talking about how he was going to
shoot a fucking warhead.
And I was nervous until he said LA.
And I was like,
perfect dude,
right at my fucking giant forehead.
I don't even want to,
I don't even want to know.
Just hear that whistling sound.
Like what is that?
Somebody watching Bugs Bunny?
What is that whistling sound?
And then it just fucking lands right on my house, and then that's it.
Yeah, you don't want to be the guy who barely survives and has kids
and then dies where your kids are, like, standing over you and they're eight
and you know they can't live on their own.
You're fucking dying in front of their eyes.
Like, you don't want to be that guy.
And you also have to take into consideration
that even if the human race survives eventually it won't whether it's a million or a billion years
from now eventually the earth will no longer be able to sustain life because the sun will burn out
so like well that's not gonna last forever i'm just talking about like some our lifetime if some
bullshit happens i don't want to go back into the world where like boils and shit and warts on the end of your nose are an issue now because there's no more CVSs and shit, whatever the Benadryl or crap you'd put on it.
And then everybody starts looking like a witch or like they live under a fucking bridge.
How the fuck do you know that's ever gotten a wart on their nose?
No, what I'm saying, back in the day.
So CVS keeps us from getting warts on our nose. Yeah. That's another saying, back in the day. So CBS keeps us
from getting warts on their nose.
Yeah.
That's another quote
they're going to take out of yours.
Compound W is gone.
Compound W is gone.
Dollar collapses
and all of that shit.
Everything stops being made.
It's done.
Then your best bet
is you fucking go down
to CBS
and you raid all those drugs.
That's what you do
when you take some bread
and you leave, right?
And you just start
pouring them in between
pieces of bread and you fucking eat them like a captain crunch sandwich and uh
all the drugs in uh breakfast club yeah i don't think that's a good idea either
none of them's a good idea nobody has a good idea the only people who are okay uh would be if you
joined blackwater where they actually have like a fortress they're the ones who are really ready
my favorite one is when you watch those doomsday preppers,
and they're basically reading through their playbook.
That's how I had that shallow grave.
Like this guy was, what I'm going to do is I'm going to surrender my property
and let them infiltrate it, and then I'll fucking come around.
And he's like showing like where he's going to hide.
And he's going to be on a spring, like one of those Murphy beds.
He rises up.
No, the craftmatic. He rises up.
No, the craftmatic.
The craftmatic.
You bring your legs in.
It's too slow.
You want to be on one of those Murphy beds where it pops up.
Oh, well, you're faking dead, so they don't see you in the background.
It's just slowly coming up.
He just poing.
You know those beds?
You push them.
Those Three Stooges beds?
They go right up to the ceiling.
Yeah, people get stuck in them them and they get pinned against the wall
they're called Murphy beds
right
yeah they used to
that was a popular thing
to save space
Laverne and Shirley
oh those things
would fucking
people would get
you'd probably break
your fucking
I bet somebody broke
their fucking neck
in one of those
I bet
I bet people have died
the most bizarre ways
yeah
I don't know
listen buddy it's almost a quarter to
four you gotta get out of here yeah where you going i'm going home wait why are you going home
