Starting point is 00:14:18 No. I think they would probably get blood work. Probably word of mouth first. First thing that probably happens, bro. And I've done CrossFit, no homo, dude, back in high school I did it for like a few months. First thing that probably happens is you see someone like with like dicks on their neck. Yeah. Like clean and like hang clean like 400 pounds and you're like. That's fucking crazy.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Yeah, you're just like, how do I do that? Hang clean is the one where you're like, you have it above like that, right? You like swoop it up. Yeah. It's crazy, dude. They're doing that. Like that shit, the shit I'm talking about, I could probably do like 300 pounds. If you could do that with 400 pounds, you're a fucking mammoth.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Yeah. Like a mammoth person. Yeah. So like people probably see that and they're like, oh, dude, if I'm going to be good at this, I need what that chick's taking. Yeah. And then they go straight to the farm, dude. It's the muscle farm. It's crazy because it's like people think,
Starting point is 00:15:16 oh, if I take steroids, I'll be like The Rock. No, you won't. You won't be like The Rock. You're not going to be 6'8 and Samoan. Yeah, you still got to put in the work. Yeah, but even if i took steroids i think the biggest i could be would be like probably 215 really yeah i'm like 180 now yeah it's like that that would be people would know people would be like something's going on and like quick too like you know travis dan just blew up the 220 yeah he's fucking huge yeah that's

Starting point is 00:16:30 fucking head dude i don't know if i'd be able to do that yeah i think like make love to one of them yeah making love oh dude i wouldn't even hesitate man it wouldn't especially like dude like you're into fitness right like you're you work out and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You ever think about just, like, banging a girl while she does, like, a kettlebell swing? If it's possible. Like, she swings it back into your nuts. You're like, ugh. Yeah, you probably have to orchestrate that. But you know what I mean, dude.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Like. Yeah, you know, you keep up swinging kettlebells and fucking. You know what I mean, dude. I mean, the gyms and fucking, you know what I mean, dude. I mean, the gym is like home to testosterone, though, dude. You got to have those. They probably only want to bang big muscle dudes, though. Yeah, like dudes who are stronger than them, for sure. Yeah, because unless they're into squeezing dudes' heads with their thighs.
Starting point is 00:17:20 Yeah, I doubt it, dude. They're probably so competitive. They're like, I need a man who can. They'd probably be impossible to deal with. Like, you couldn't just like go out to dinner with them. They're probably so, like, competitive. They're like, I need a man who can... They'd probably be impossible to deal with. Like, you couldn't just, like, go out to dinner with them. They'd be like, oh, this restaurant. If I had to guess, man, it's probably the dudes that are in their gym. Because they're with each other every day.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Yeah. And then they just say, like, gay shit to each other. They get so gay in there, dude. This relationship is gay. Yeah.

Yeah. Dude, he was not happy in his marriage. What's your mom?
Starting point is 00:23:12 Because I'm very unhappy in my own personal life. Please. This is no longer a joke. Yeah. So you just clean yourself up in the bathroom? Yeah. I mean, I remember wiping. I don't think I shit myself, but I was like, dude, if you go back out there, you're just going to start laughing again.
Starting point is 00:23:35 At least I can shit yourself and laugh though. Yeah. Yeah, that would have been crazy, dude, if I farted and kept a straight face. It just smells like shit dude it's like i don't think i ever shit myself i don't think i don't think i ever shit i used to when i was a kid i would take all my clothes off to take a shit okay like what age like a week ago yeah yeah i did it up until i was like 12 and i was like all right you're going to middle school next year you should probably start doing that.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Stop doing that. Why did you do that? Do you know why? I don't remember. I think, I think I was afraid I'd get shit on me. Oh wow. I think I was.
Starting point is 00:24:13 And then like one time I did it as an elementary school. I did it. I went into the stall. I took all my clothes off. I stacked them up in the corner of the stall. And then like older kids came in there and they were like, go fucking some naked in there and i was just like and they took the clothes like they just reached under and took the clothes and i was just having an anxiety attack but eventually the fucking
Starting point is 00:24:37 teacher came because i was in there for like 20 minutes and she just found me like she come with your clothes or she just came to help you no she just came to call my mom all the lights are off he's like he found your son naked taking a shit dude and uh yeah they like legitimately took your clothes and never gave them back yeah i never saw those girls again i don't even know who did it because i was in the stall yeah so i just see a hand like oh man yeah dude dude i was having an anxiety attack especially at that age holy shit even if i was like i mean if i was this age i'd be like fuck yeah so i'm about to find out about my secret class naked because that's the thing i feel like when you like you don't really have you don't really have secrets when you get older because you're like yeah this is just like what i
Starting point is 00:25:21 do like fuck you i do this weird thing eat shit yeah but like when you're a kid you're like yeah this is just like what i do like you i do this weird thing eat yeah but like when you're a kid you're like oh i don't want anyone to yeah i don't want anyone to see this weird thing that's true yeah i wonder what that is man once you get older you just kind of accept it you're like listen yeah i'm gonna you know i don't even know the weird i do dude probably because i'm so used to doing it it's probably not weird to you you're probably just like yeah this is what i do what do you what do you think you do now that's weird that like i full-blown talk to myself like and i used to be like in my 20s i was like i was like dude this is a crazy thing like uh externally or like i make no i'm talking okay like you would think i'm on a bluetooth wow and then you like, like, so I just, and I answer.
Starting point is 00:26:05 And then it. Does it make sense or no? It makes sense, for sure. I think it's good because I talk through things that, like, before I'm going to say them. Yeah. So, like, you know, like, if I have something that's on my mind, I'm like, talk through this. Okay. And then, yeah, but I used to be super self-conscious.
Starting point is 00:26:22 I was like, I hope no one sees you doing this. Yeah. And I would just do it, like, in the car when i'm driving and now i just do it i'm like at applebee's alone and i don't even fucking you might have ocd or something i think i do yeah i think i do i had pretty bad ocd when i was younger dude yeah yeah i twitch too my hands are like super twitchy that's always been a thing though just an applebee's alone eating and twitching and talking to myself yeah even now dude uh i used to think i had a tick when i was younger
Starting point is 00:26:51 dude because i would always blink and shit and i still do because my eyes are just fucked yeah like my eyes are fucked man like vision wise you're saying just everything dude you know when i was younger man like uh just like my vision was terrible, like, from the start, but I would always, like, open my eyes underwater, you know?

Starting point is 00:34:01 Stop some pigskin. Drink some bean water. And I didn't know how like crazy that sounds you know but coffee to ask someone that who's like in a relationship now i would think that you're fucking with me if you want just drink some coffee have a catch but you're right yeah you're going through it but to me that just seems like uh a good night you know yeah but uh dude you do uh jiu jitsu right i do that's pretty sick man yeah i got my black belt a few years ago do you like talking about it or no uh so right now my hips are like fucking shot so i had a hip surgery i was like 27 yeah and uh my hips are just now i used to compete and shit i wrestled in like community community college for a little bit
Starting point is 00:34:43 and then it was like a club team. Wrestling was super hard, dude. So I was just like, I don't know if I want to do this. You get to a level where you're like, dude, these fucking kids are about wrestling. And I am not about wrestling. And I started doing jujitsu. I was like, all right, this is like more my speed. And I just stuck with that.
Starting point is 00:35:02 That's wild, though, dude. You're a black belt. That's insane. Takes a long time. It took like 10 years. Really? Yeah. So you must have been like super committed for a while.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Yeah, I was competing for like eight of those years. And then, yeah, got the hip surgery. I was like, well, I can't fucking move now. Yeah. I had to like relearn how to walk. It was fucked up. When someone takes your hips away, it's like, because even like getting up out of this chair, you realize
Starting point is 00:35:25 like oh that's that takes hips like everything is do you have like hip impingement or something just genetic so you have to run with those sports all the time and i always ran on pavement so like i think just that constant just grinding them down and then um yeah so then they are what they are yeah and it sucks but get actually cortisone shots tomorrow holy shit both sides and we'll see uh we'll see how that goes yeah it makes like um i got fucked up hips too but i don't really believe anything anyone says to be honest like i don't really trust doctors man i know that sounds like kind of like conspiracy but yeah yeah like uh this one one physical therapist was like,
Starting point is 00:36:05 yeah, man, you have hip impingement. You need to have surgery. What is hip impingement? I think basically your hips are supposed to rotate at like 360 degrees. Okay. If you have impingement, it's just like rubbing against the bone kind of.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Oh, okay, cool. You know, like it doesn't have that space to rotate. I think that's what I have. Really? I have like shallow hip sockets. And then i remember i was like they'd start her when i was like 26 i would be like doing mics and shit and i like walk around the city and i'm like hobbling i'm like what's going on because i'm 26 like this
Starting point is 00:36:35 should not be happening and then i went to go get them checked out and they were like yeah your shit is destroyed yeah but like dude doctors will always tell you like oh you know like take these painkillers like right away they don't even ask you know they're just like oh take these painkillers and like you know it's always like the same prognosis for everyone but yeah i love watching youtube videos of like those asian guys you know and they're just like listen don't listen to those fucking pussies dude listen to us yeah we're we're asian but i started doing like um like hip movements and stuff that this asian uh i mean he is a doctor though these dudes are doctors they're just like youtube doctors you know um but yeah dude i started doing like hip and

Okay. You basically like put your like knee against the wall.
Starting point is 00:37:48 It's kind of hard to explain, but it's so fucking hard, dude. I literally like, I legit start crying when I have to do it, like a little bit. After the, after I got the surgery, because like then you're immobile for like,
Starting point is 00:37:59 like literally on a couch for like two months. Yeah. So I was too, they're like, we can do the full hip replacement or this. Wait, you got hip replaced no so i wanted to get there like that's a better surgery yeah it's an easier healing process and it helps with everything you're trying to do yeah but you're 27 so we can't we can't give like a hip you're too young yeah the hip replacement last 30 years like do you plan on dying when you're 57? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:25 And I was like, no. So we're going to do this one thing where we go in and we shave the bone down and then it's up to you to rehabilitate it, which was sucked. And it was like two months of me just on a couch. And then I finally started doing PT after the two months. And like my it band was like a guitar string.

And then, so I got my lawyer. My lawyer is from Brooklyn. But the case was on Long Island. And the lawyer was like, if this was in Brooklyn, like, I didn't even know if you'd have to show up to court. Really?

That's a legend.
Starting point is 00:59:48 So were you driving around with like medical equipment? Yeah. First I was transporting medical equipment. And then I ended up like doing the medical cases.

Starting point is 01:01:31 you know, like everything in your life is like, you should stop doing this. And then, um, I think you just have to like, stop. You don't have to get tired of being a loser.
Starting point is 01:01:39 I think that's what it is. You just get tired of like, I'm tired of waking up at my parents' house and like doing nothing with my life. So it doing nothing with my life negatively affects your life oh yeah i don't know anything about it man yeah people i mean people obviously talk about it but it's kind of hard to like think about it if you've never done it you know like the feeling that's the thing like like movies will be like like nah you do coke and make a lot of money you know you could be like one of those guys and it's like i can't even i don't understand how you'd be like a finance coke guy like you know what i mean i mean that's gotta be pretty big in comedy though right like people doing coke i don't think it is really i

Starting point is 01:07:02 So the town that I grew up in, there was an abandoned middle school. And behind the middle school were this small sliver of woods. And a creek went through it. And it was called Brookside Woods. The middle school was Brookside Middle School. But we'd hang out and drink in the woods. And there's a creek going through the woods. And if it rained, the creek filled up to like 10 feet deep yeah and then one day we were hanging out at the school smoking
Starting point is 01:07:28 and it had rained the night before so it was a you know it was a fucking river and so you had to hop on one log hop on another log and that's how you got across the river and we hung out with this like really fat kid aaron glazer and he uh i mean he's probably dead now anyway but whatever and he so he we all hopped and whatever. And so we all hop and whatever. And we're like, all right, dude, you have to hop on the right one, the left one, and that's how you get across the river. And he's like, I don't want to do that. And we're like, that's the only way you're getting across the river.
Starting point is 01:07:55 You got to do that. So we finally coerce him to do it. He hops on one log, hops on the next log. The log spins over. And there's a spike in the log. And it goes right through his like knee fat and we were all like ninth grade high you know when you see you see something like ninth grade high you're like what the is that dude yo it was horrifying it went through his
Starting point is 01:08:19 whole life like this part of his you know he's on a fatter knee yeah like and it was and it was like fat on the stick we were just like ah get a janitor yeah get a janitor get a janitor it was like oh and then he didn't come to class for like three weeks after that you know what happened to him no i think he stopped going to high school i think that was like his like that was his end point he was like yeah i'm out he's like yeah i'm done dude i'm done with this fucking school oh man dude i'm done with this town yeah you were high too man that's gonna my friend said he saw him in a taxi and he was like hey aaron glazer i saw him he lost like 150 pounds in a taxi yeah he was in like a separate taxi and he's like aaron glazer and he just like looked down.
