But then he hadn't been on stage in like five years. So we're like, oh my God. And then it's like, you know, you can't be good if you haven't been on stage for five years. So then like he goes on and it's like, oh right. You're not, not an everyday comic. And we're all just like, anyway, let's get back to our conversations. Hello everybody. Welcome back to the Skinny Confidential, him and her show. Today, we're sitting down with Ari Shafir.

This episode is a comedy-focused episode, something to take you out of your week, help you relax, help you laugh a little bit, not take everything so seriously. We had a ton of fun with Ari. With that, Ari, welcome to Skinny Confidential, him and her show. This is the Skinny Confidential, him and her. Who's the most funny? Comic to hang out with?
Starting point is 00:01:24 Yeah. It's the low-level comics, the drunks. They're the most fun. Huh. Because nobody knows them, so they can get real loose-lipped. So when you get too big, is it hard? Yeah, then people are looking at you. Call him Tyrell.
Starting point is 00:01:36 This comic, we call him Collie Cocktails when he gets, like, Irish'd up. And yeah, he'll get to where, like, dude, she's got to lower your voice. You're going to get us thrown out of here. Have always been funny like when you were little yeah i guess so always yeah yeah class clown stuff always it's like is that like how you got attention when you were little i there was a there okay so the the laws in maryland i grew up or you can't try a child as an adult and there was a multiple I guess you'd call it murder but I saw therapy after that and so it wasn't always but after these three or four kids died I think the fourth died too then it became like then I got my sense of humor as a
Starting point is 00:02:15 self-defense mechanism but that was like 12 or 13 wait wait are you being serious there were murders in your town me but it was like an old me I saw therapy for this god no i'm not being serious wait wait this isn't on my notes okay someone didn't do their research are your parents funny um no really horribly unfunny my brother is that's about it do they think you're funny yeah they do they don't get it though they're just, it's nice and people are laughing at them. So what was your childhood like? I just had a fun time. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Parents stuck together. Most comics are like pretty, pretty fucked up. Childhood was. Yeah, everything was pretty nice. What about you guys? Honestly, pretty nice. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:58 It's almost like embarrassing, right? Yeah, it's so weird. Like your parents are still together. I wish I had a better story. I think my parents just celebrated their 40th anniversary happy anniversary mom and dad happy anniversary mom and dad like you wish you had more trauma to like yeah to draw from it would be really nice you got a couple beatings or something a horse that got too like you know loose in the household something you know just some color to the child something yeah exactly
Starting point is 00:03:23 so you don't have yeah if my dad was in the Klan, it would have been fucking awesome. I thought I'd cut them out. But really, no. Just a really normal childhood. Yeah. So at what point do you decide? They paid for college. When do you decide you want to make a career out of this?
Starting point is 00:03:36 After college, the jobs seem really bleak. Sitting under, well, yeah, different lights than this. Like DMV lights. Yeah, DMV lights. And when you're going. It seems so horrific. It is. under uh well yeah different lights in this you know what you know like dmv lights yeah dmv lights and and when you're going it seems so horrific it is just sit there just uh yeah i go visit my friends my friends work uh had a conference at price waterhouse cooper's library whatever okay i don't know and she was like come upstairs we got free lunch and i'm in there i'm just like start hyperventilating i was like i gotta get the fuck out of here these are all like normcore people is it weird like i always think about what i wish that i was funny i would like i look at people like you and i'm like oh you can just go up there and make
Starting point is 00:04:12 all these people but then i but i also feel like it must be so rad to have the group of guys where you can just like laugh and say whatever the fuck you want whenever you want and nobody's overly sensitive and it's just i have barbecues and i have it's a comics only barbecue and people like well bring my wife you're like no you can't what if the wife's funny only if she's a comic she has to be a comic to be because we have to be able to say we want to say some stuff that we can only say yeah maybe no maybe it's only the no no it's really only comics i've gotten to fight to my friends like no you know my wife. I'm like, it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:04:46 We got to be able to like really scream about the Holocaust. Can Whitney come? And have fun. Whitney can come, for sure. Whitney can come. Yeah. So it has to be a real... But she can't bring her dumb kid.
Starting point is 00:04:54 No. Yeah. She's got to leave that thing at home. Yeah. So what's the barbecue like? Barbecues are great. But then it's like, I used to have a backyard where we had neighbors and they would get like pretty pissed.
Starting point is 00:05:04 We just talk about dark stuff. Like it's like we used to i used to have a backyard where we had neighbors and they would get like pretty pissed we just talk about dark stuff like it's just like laughing dark yeah laughing dark stuff but real dark so people are hearing a passing by and they're like you guys can't be saying this out loud like if someone recorded it like would you get canceled yes every one of us for sure yeah i think when the audience is like start a series of what barbecues yeah it would not be natural. But I feel like comedy's back now. Comedy's so back. People are now like,
Starting point is 00:05:29 we had a moment there. We were talking about the, the moment was maybe like right at the peak was the Will Smith slap moment. Yeah. And then I think after that, people were like, okay, it needs to come back
Starting point is 00:05:38 because it got too serious. It got so serious. It's so much money's in comedy now. So everyone got like real, real. And then now it's like backwards. People are like, oh, we know. Gen Z is like crushing it. They're like pushing away millennials.
Starting point is 00:05:50 What would their anger? What would our audience be surprised to know about the behind the scenes at these comedy clubs like that? We don't know. It's so boring. No. Yeah. Nothing's happening. Every lady I've ever dated was like feels left out.
Starting point is 00:06:03 And then you're like, fine, come. And then she's like, all you do is talk shit about your comic friends. And you're like, yeah, I know, that's what we do all the time. We just talk shit. We just talk shit. And we get super worked up about stuff that doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Like what? Like super major fights about if the L or if the F is a better way to get to a certain stop. Or like which bars are better. Or like, yeah, what's a better breakfast food? But like angry fights. Is there drugs and alcohol? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Okay, but I always think about this like way more than I'd like to admit. Yeah. If I'm a comic and I have to go on stage, I would have one drink. I feel like if I have more, I couldn't be funny. Okay, let me ask you a question slash challenge. Have you ever done this show just completely fucked up this show yeah yeah there there's there's a couple there's a there's a few that we've been fucked really not fucked up we're talking to i kind of feel like
Starting point is 00:06:56 i would have got more fucked up for you like i feel like we would have had like i should have had like something here like drink for go out for drinks for like three hours and be like oh fuck it your home's like let's stop by the studio first. We've done that a couple times. Yeah. I mean, listen, it depends who you're talking to. If you're having somebody that is a child psychologist on. A Burt gave me that thing.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Zinn? Yeah. Oh, yeah. That'll make you throw up. That was the first time. Really? Did you like it? It's trash for trash people. Oh, Burt.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Yeah. It's trash. Yeah, of course that's why you liked it. Speak up from the garbage dump in the back. Wait, so I don't understand, though, how you can get fucked up and go out on stage and really perform. Oh, we fail a lot. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Yeah, we get too fucked up. It's bad. I think you're thinking about when you see the special that you see on somewhere, you're not thinking about like the normal like yeah day-to-day it's 15 minute spots you're not really even on the lineup you're not really marketed much so they're not coming to see you they're just coming out for a night out and then you go up and you're like follow some killer young young comic and then you're like oh i just failed but it's like who cares you don't care yeah but when you charge your money for your own tickets on the road or something then it's like no don't get too fucked up what do you do if you have a
Starting point is 00:08:07 really funny joke and it doesn't land do you get embarrassed or do you not yeah no it never got easier yeah it fucking sucks it's wild when you think about it for a professional comic it should never happen that every one of the audience is there to laugh so much of the paid money to come and laugh they're in the mood to laugh and then you have some so anybody could just say a joke they'd be like oh sweet i'm in the mood to laugh obviously i'm the right audience for this and then it's not just anybody it's a professional comic and it's a professional comic who prepared something so it's the perfect storm of course it's going to be a laugh every time and then you say a punch line it's just silence and you stare at you like what
Starting point is 00:08:42 was that the joke it's crazy when a bomb happens It should never happen. It happens so much. What do you do now when it happens? Call attention to it. Damn you guys that was really bad. Just so you know, there was a joke there I guess none of you even recognized it. Does it still rattle you or no? No, not really. Yeah I mean how long has been now 20 something years. Yes. Okay, so nothing you can say at this point Nothing I've bombed in front of, like, chicks I wanted to fuck. Like, where it's like, this will seal the deal. And then it's sealed it the other way.
Starting point is 00:09:12 I don't know, though. If I'm in the audience and I want to fuck the comic, and he bombs, and he knows how to recover and has finesse about it, I'm kind of turned on. No, that's if he can recover. You get a pity fuck. Yeah. Yeah, no, no. You don't want to fuck a failure yeah lauren no okay you'll see a failure and go like
Starting point is 00:09:30 i want that no way but if he's you'll completely shut up you'll she'll shut you'll dry like a prune no i'm saying you'll seal back up you'll have no vagina that's what i'm saying for like a day or two and then you're like oh I gotta get that failure out of my head and then he'll just never take his phone calls again what if there's a girl that you wanted to
Starting point is 00:09:48 fuck in the audience what do you do like do you just say this is not gonna work I'm remembering a time no it's just like you just keep trying it's like it's just over
Starting point is 00:09:56 then you just see them they're just like oh they get so fucking dry you're just like it's done and you're like what were we supposed to hook up
Starting point is 00:10:02 we were gonna date this is just a sealed idea I didn't even do this do you're like, we were supposed to hook up. We were going to date. This is just a sealed deal. I didn't even do this. Do you have like a sick, like, kind of like, I love it when your comic friend is on stage and it happens to them? Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:10:14 For sure. For sure. Because we've also all been through it so that it's also like, oh. You can hear the laugh. There's a special kind of laugh. It's like, da-da-da, set up, set up, punchline. And then there's a silence where it should be a laugh. The comic sees it. There is of laugh. It's like, set up, punchline. And then there's a silence where it
Starting point is 00:10:26 should be a laugh. The comic sees it. There is no laugh. And then two comics in the back just go, ha ha ha ha ha! Because it's that perfect storm. It's just two comics laughing so hard at how uncomfortable it is. Who's the biggest heckler out of all your friends? We don't heckle each other. You don't?
Starting point is 00:10:42 No, no, no. We let them fail on their own. That's like a no-no. Yeah Yeah, but another time what do you do when there's a heckler? I just I mean I just get hard and try to like hide It I don't know you just try to get them out of there. Sometimes you have fun with it What's the word do you depends who they are what kind of mood you're in and if you're trying to do anything It's so fun. You just like belittle them. It's fun. What's it? Do you remember when like a moment when you bombed and that one just stuck with you?
Starting point is 00:11:06 It's just like one you can never forget. Like the one time. Yeah, this one about this chick, Kim. I'm remembering now. Oh my God. This is a real thing that happened. Yeah, she's married with kids now. It was around here.
Starting point is 00:11:16 It was near this neighborhood. You turned her off so bad. She ran and found someone to get married and have kids with. Was her last name Kardashian? It was Kim Kardashian. Yeah. I was a rebounder between Pete and whatever she's at now.
Starting point is 00:11:27 She was going the comic route for a minute. She was? Yeah. She was going the lawyer route. She couldn't decide. Anything's possible. Can we say
Starting point is 00:11:34 what a great job Kanye did with her? I think what it is is like she had all the pieces but he came in and edited it and refined it.
Starting point is 00:11:44 But then I think to give her credit that then she took it and took it to the next level. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. But he saw potential. Did you ever see, um, it was, uh, who's the guy from the Neptunes, the producer from the band, the Neptunes.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Taylor, look it up. Pharrell. Yeah. And he's listening to Maggie Rogers or some, whatever. And she's starting to sing. It's like an audition for something. And he's listening. He's like, all right, this isn't bad.
Starting point is 00:12:06 And then it hits him like 30 seconds in. He's like, oh, she's as good as me. And then he's just like, keep playing this song. Let me just enjoy this song. You know? But he was like, and then she excelled on her own. But she was like a nobody. So it's like giving Kanye.
Starting point is 00:12:19 That's Kanye and Kim. She had a chance, but she was trash. And he was like, there's gold under there. Michael is kind of someone who Kanye's me. Are you calling yourself trash? No, I'm being honest. I'm being self-aware. Who's Kanye's what? Michael Kanye's me. He
Starting point is 00:12:33 got you on trashy? He got you class? Trashy is not the right word. I just think he refined my style to be the way. What'd you get? What'd you way. What'd you get? What'd you do? What'd you see?
Starting point is 00:12:47 There was a lot of sweatpants there for a minute. Yeah, a lot of sweatpants. Yeah, it was a little bit, we went through a sweatpants phase. We went through a sweatpants phase. That was okay for three weeks in COVID and then it's like, get yourself together. It was like three years. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:12:57 It was like a, yeah, it was, and it was a double, it was like a full, it was like a big loose sweat top, low sweat bottom. What is that? I don't know. Bad Bunny could pull it off and that's it. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:06 I think I had just like a moment too long of that. And he came in. I think a lot of people are still in it. And he edited it out. It's like not trying is the style. And people are eventually like, guys, guys. But sometimes I look at some of these people. I'm like, well, maybe you should try.
Starting point is 00:13:17 You should try. Yeah, you should try. You Kanye-ed her. That's crazy. Yeah, Michael's very particular with his taste. He's a fourth Japanese. He's very like organized and meticulous. He's a fourth Japanese. Nice. Who was the third? It's crazy. Yeah, Michael's very particular with his taste. He's a fourth Japanese. He's very organized and meticulous. He's a fourth Japanese.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Nice. Who was the third and second? Yeah, I was the fourth one. He came in and edited everything. That's great. Yeah. You're the producer. I'm particular.
Starting point is 00:13:38 He's particular. Yeah. I would have loved to have seen the before you. There she is. Oh, that is different. It's different. It's a different look. It's like blonde, huge fake tits.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Really? Yeah, really big ones. We'll send you some shots later. I'll send you a mirror selfie of me before. I'm trying to look at it now. Yeah, that is a different person. It's a different thing. I'm trying to imagine where I'd meet each of these two people.
Starting point is 00:14:01 It's totally different, right? Different establishments you'd be in. It's like one's kind of like, maybe I'm like at a horror. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? And now it's a little bit more elevated. This is classy.
Starting point is 00:14:13 You meet that girl, and they're like, where are we going now? Like, we're not going out. One of the weirdest interviews we've ever done is we flew to the Bunny Ranch, you know, the one out there in Reno. And we did, we interviewed some of the girls out there.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Okay. And like that version was there. Yeah. That version was there was there and I was like should I stay here and work there at the let me tell you something that place on a Wednesday in the middle of the day it's not the daytime strip club vibes are like oh the c squad that's so mean well because people are like waking up from like, you know, the night before. It's like 1140 a.m.
Starting point is 00:14:49 in the morning. We're there with like our recording equipment. Like, hey, we're here for the interview. It's not like, I bet it's not the same as like pulling in
Starting point is 00:14:55 at like 1030 p.m. at night on a Saturday. It's like if it was The Tonight Show, they'd be like, bring out the best. When you, when all this- Nothing's worse
Starting point is 00:15:02 than going to the strip club and going like, this is it? Or one of those like massage parlors like come on the massage parlors though are different because i feel like it's it's like you don't really care who it is my friend just called it's funny to hear him like he was like in the next few days he's going you could tell and he's like he would call and go hey how many girls you have working today he knows the questions okay and then he called a gay one by accident and they go, this is not the spot
Starting point is 00:15:25 you're looking for. Call another one. He was like, oh, okay. You know what the move is? What? It's to go into like a foot spa
Starting point is 00:15:31 because you know who came on here? Laura Clary. She's a comedian, I think. And she said that she went to like a massage parlor
Starting point is 00:15:39 and the girl who was massaging her gave her an orgasm. From the feet? No. From, she was rubbing her vagina. And then when the girl who was massaging her gave her an orgasm. From both feet? No. She was rubbing her vagina. And then when the girl looked away, she pushed her pussy down to where her foot was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:51 She was like, just keep doing it. And then Laura went back the next day. To get another one. Yeah. Yeah. It became like a problem. Then she had to remedy it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:03 He's like, what's the number? Here's, by the way, for the listeners at home, you want to know which ones do that? It's anyone with a lock on their door. No business locks their door. The neon sign with the heart with the hand and the rose. Yeah. And there's like bars on the door.
Starting point is 00:16:19 I've never heard of a woman going there. Good for Cleary. I go to a football all the time. I don't, I've never had a happy ending there. But you know, it's like a massage, right? It's like a massage. It is like a massage. Do your eyes close? Does it count? I don't know. Yeah. You just say you gotta rub the other toe, the camel toe.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Oh! Nice. Well written. Well written. When you... If it's old, if there's someone disgusting, it doesn't count even as cheating. If it's like, I wouldn't do this if I was single with this person, then it's like, just go for it. But you're still doing it, so it doesn't count. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Okay. Taylor thinks so too. When cancel culture was going on and there's all this cancel culture, was it like playing laser tag as a comedian or did you not give a fuck? I didn't, but I actually liked pushing for it. What do you mean? I liked seeing how close to the line you can get and then going slightly over
Starting point is 00:17:05 and see how mad you can get people get while other people are laughing. It's fun. Like what's going over the line during cancel culture? Anything that people are like, this is wrong. It's just like sick. Nice.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Do people in the audience? If I have 300 people in an audience, two have to walk out angry. If you're going right. Who walks out angry? What do they look like? Dorks. They look a lot like you.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Really? Yes. It's women. It's almost always drunk white women. Almost always drunk white women. Do they get dragged there by their boyfriend and then they're like, what is this? A little bit, yeah. Or they've also never been not the center of attention and they, most are cool.
Starting point is 00:17:43 First of all, I'm just saying, it's most of them are still cool. It's the ones that aren't. Or like, I don't like not being the center of attention and they most are cool first of all i'm just saying it's most of them are still cool it's the ones that aren't or like i don't like not being the center of attention fuck this i want my attention back and they just can't and they'll say something like i don't agree with this like yeah i know i'm saying the opposite of how i feel it's hard not to be the center of attention and then they're a little bit drunk they haven't seen one drink and two drinks for these chicks it's fucking wild for men it's seven. You know, it's where we start to get, oh, shit. Women, it's like, I've had one.
Starting point is 00:18:07 I feel good. Here, a sip of another one. It's like, fuck everything. Like, that line is so thin. And then they're like, no, fuck this guy. I think I should be invited to one of your sets. To see if you can keep your mouth shut the whole time? I won't.
Starting point is 00:18:20 I'll keep my mouth shut. Okay. I want to be in on the barbecue. Okay. I feel like I can hang. Yeah. It is fun when it happens. Everybody else in the audience is like, this is fun.
Starting point is 00:18:30 They are a dork. But some walk out angry. Yeah. And you just say, fuck it. You don't care. Well, what are you supposed to do? I don't know. It's like, I saw one time at the converse where this lady was like, it's like such a
Starting point is 00:18:41 variety of comics. Sometimes really nice people. I'm just a little darker. So I'll say things and be like, I don't, I don't comics. Sometimes really nice people. I'm just a little darker. So I'll say things to people like, I don't, I don't care for this. And they shouldn't have seen me. And this lady's just like, like this the whole time. At the end of my set, I was like, hey, that's it for me.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Everyone clapped. And it was like, can I just say, this lady, you hated me, right? She goes, yeah, I fucking hated you. And I was like, but you kept your mouth shut the whole time. And I saw it and I got to commend you on that. And I was like, everyone, give it up for this dumb fucking lady. And then she was like, all right, all right. And she was like, she did it right. She just stayed mad and quietly.
Starting point is 00:19:09 But they want the acknowledgement, it sounds like, because it reminds me of a troll on Instagram. What I've realized is that all the troll wants is attention and acknowledgement. They feed, their oxygen for their fire is just some attention. So when you give them attention, they actually end up apologizing and coming back around. Yeah, they're fans. So they'll be like, they'll be like, ew, you look so ugly here.
Starting point is 00:19:29 And I'll write back something just super neutral. And then they'll write back, oh my God, I'm so sorry. I love you so much. And you're like, what's happening? They just want acknowledgement.

Starting point is 00:20:36 then just leave so may burt came on the show and said he has tons of trolls and he used to read it so maybe half of those accounts were you i don't what a reveal that would be dude i was drunk once and i was stenciling uh around new york we were just like graffiting and uh and then i came across like some late some sort of hated lady in comedies like um kind of broadway show and we're like oh we gotta stencil this and so yeah just like graffitied over it but But it was like, if I get caught here, I'm going to be in more trouble than if I just get caught normal. So I didn't. So I was fine. You kind of trolled through graffiti.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Yeah, it would have been great to get Bert off Instagram by himself. He's great on Instagram. Yeah, I mean off reading the comments. The one where he went into surgery to pitch his tickets. Did you see that? No. He's going's going into all he does is fucking promote this idiot you try to have a quiet moment with him and he's like let's film it well him and i sunned our buttholes together kind of what do you mean so when you sun your butthole wait back up oh son son son what do you mean you do it together he sent us a picture of his wide asshole,

Starting point is 00:21:56 He's like somewhere, they're both wishing on the same moon and you're singing that song to the sun that's sunning your assholes. Fievel Goes West is a great reference. Many listeners won't have any fucking idea what we're talking about with that reference sunning your butthole is really good for stay with me you're trying to get to know who you are your butthole doesn't get any sun that's true okay so if you sun your butthole and the thing what's the gooch area
Starting point is 00:22:20 yeah it's burn instantly though sorry go ahead no it's not it's really energizing no no but it's gotten no sun yeah you can't just suddenly like anne frank that when she left that day she was like i'm gonna burn you know she a little did she know you know what works it works no but you know what don't you have to start that with like a minute and then be like, okay, that's good for today. And then the next day, like two minutes. Work yourself up to it. Like you got to get a boss-based tan every year.
Starting point is 00:22:51 You can't just go straight to, I'm going outside with my shirt off. You have to have a big yard with a lot of land and privacy to be doing that. Yeah, that's true too. If you're in LA or New York and you're doing that, like you're going to jail. I don't, I-
Starting point is 00:23:00 Jerry Sandusky tried it and it didn't work. Yeah. He was right next to a school and he got in a lot of trouble. Misunderstood. He could have just said he was sunning his butthole. Could have just said that. Yeah, that's a good excuse.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Yeah, like if Bert's over there in the valley doing that in a neighborhood, he's done. Yeah. Also, he takes up the whole yard. So if he had a yard that was big enough, it wouldn't be. He was with his butthole spread, hands out, boots hanging. Is it hairy? I kind of want to see it. I kind of don't, but I want to see it.
Starting point is 00:23:25 It's like you can't look away. I just think if you're feeling tired, go outside and open them up. Let me see. What did he do? He had the decency to graffiti over it. Yeah, he shouldn't have blocked it out. Let me see this. I love whoever

Starting point is 00:24:36 nobody's serious. We're all fucking, except for the bad ones who shouldn't be in in the first place. What if someone's not funny? Do they get iced out? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Yeah, remember Michael Richards? So he came, what? You don't know Michael Richards?ard yes you do kramer from kramer okay okay yeah he came and good on him you know whatever but he came to the comedy store before all that stuff happened and it was like oh shit it's fucking kramer but then he hadn't been on stage in like five years so we're like oh my god and then it's like you know you can't be good if you haven't been on stage for five years so then like he goes on it's like, you know, you can't be good if you haven't been on stage for five years. So then like he goes on and it's like, oh right. You're not an everyday comic. And we're all just like, ugh, anyway,
Starting point is 00:25:09 let's get back to our conversations. We have no time for it. It's just like not funny. When you are performing, is it like a muscle? It sounds like you have to get on stage all the time. It was weird. After COVID, you see people coming back after like a few months off and they're like holding the mic. where do you even put this like hey like you didn't know how
Starting point is 00:25:29 to pause and stuff it was like a week to get back into it it was pretty pretty wild and you see like one at a time people came out of covid so you'd be like what's wrong with you like oh this is your first week back you've been in lockdown so you have to put yourself out there constantly to keep it going. Yeah, and it's fun. So you do it anyway. But yeah, yeah, yeah. You stay sharp. Did they shut down the comedy store the whole COVID?
Starting point is 00:25:52 I think so. I was in New York and we all moved to rooftops pretty fast. Because Austin stayed pretty wide open, yeah? Austin stayed wide open. You could do anything,
Starting point is 00:26:01 smoke weed publicly. I think so. I wasn't... wasn't yeah no i think everything's shut down i don't remember because we were talking before we came here like a lot of people out in austin right now and i feel like it was like when everyone shut down a lot of the comedians were part of that like because people could go there and have a good time well the cool thing was the young new york comics was like they took charge all like the younger comics was like we'll build a room because they had to go on stage every night like every night every night and they were like we can't not so they found rooftops they found backyards they found illegal shit and they just made it happen chapelle did a whole thing about
Starting point is 00:26:33 how he was saving comedy by building this outdoor place and everyone in york was like we've been doing that for like day two we shut down for one day and then we're like, let's go.

So we're teaming up with cotton, the fabric of our lives. I am really trying to be so intentional and mindful about what I'm wearing when I'm home, relaxing with my kids, being present. So when cotton reached out, I was so excited. I'm sure all you guys know that going natural with cotton is the move. Cotton comes from the earth, unlike synthetic and man-made fibers. I am trying to be more mindful and present in every area of my life. I want to
Starting point is 00:30:31 stay grounded, especially when I'm home. You guys all know cotton. Who doesn't like cotton? It's breathable, natural, long-lasting cotton. It's amazing. And cotton is natural. Cotton comes from the earth. So there's a lot of synthetic and man-made fibers out there in our clothes. I actually just learned, and I had no idea about this, that polyester is made from crude oil. That is the same oil that's used to make fuel for cars, which is wild. I also didn't know that every time we wash synthetic fabrics like polyester clothing, we're contributing to microplastics in our waterways. Cotton has really taught me a lot about synthetic fabrics, and I'm trying to learn more and more. I'm trying to even carry like cotton totes to the farmer's
Starting point is 00:31:17 market. I don't want to use a lot of plastic bags. I'm just doing anything that I can do and basically my part. So remember to check the label for cotton and take a deep breath and focus on the present. Cotton is the fabric of now. Learn more at thefabricofourlives.com.

There's 20,000 of them. No, I told her, we're in the MGM.
Starting point is 00:33:01 The way I imagined it, it's like the filter on Instagram. If you're on Tinder, you see a filter and then you see it in person. It was just like completely different. But here's the thing, it was an amazing show,
Starting point is 00:33:14 but I would prefer to see comedy in a smaller... A million percent. You wouldn't? Yeah, 120 seater. It would be so fucking cool. I'm up there and the beer cart person's

What do you think about them having you put your phone in a bag? That's intriguing to me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:37 I think what they should do one day, hopefully they'll do this. So you put your phone in your bag and then like break your phone. They just break everyone's phone. Why? Just so everyone has to be off their phone for the whole fucking day. your phone in your bag and then like break your phone they just break everyone's phone why just so everyone has to be off their phone for the whole fucking day because you guys don't like when you're on stage and people on the phone not just that yeah yeah it's like you missed forget the like filming you i'm gonna put this out i told you we say dark shit so at clubs it's like hey we can get away with everyone's kind of signed up for it yeah you know except for that lady that

You'd like a salad and you want to fuck hard. Well, that's lunchtime shit. But you're saying that they get a great dinner, a good hard fuck. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:11 Yeah. Like what's not to like? Yeah. But I always think about this. Good conversation. I asked Bert this too. How do you guys not cheat when you're on the road? Like, I feel like you guys are surrounded by beautiful women.
Starting point is 00:42:21 Well, what Bert does is a bunch of gay shit with his openers. That's how he manages to not cheat. What is this? A bunch of gay shit with his openers. That's how he manages to not cheat. A bunch of gay shit. I've heard the stories. Oh. Yeah. Okay. And it's out there.
Starting point is 00:42:31 So that's how he stays faithful. Pull that clip for Bert. Yeah. For other people, I'm not sure. Is it hard? Dude, I've been naked in the shower with Bert in a steam shower in Park City. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:42 You've been naked in the shower with Bert? Yeah, steam shower. I'm just remembering that now. The matchmaker before Patti Sanger, what was she saying? She could match me and Bird Up? What did she call it, Taylor? DL.
Starting point is 00:42:54 Do you know what DL is? It's like with your boys, you're just wrestling and all of a sudden your dick slips in their ass. What's DL? On the DL? She says guys don't think it's cheating when they're wrestling and all of a sudden the dick slips in the ass if they're married.
Starting point is 00:43:11 It's like those memes where it says your buddy sucked you off, but as long as you say no homo, it doesn't make it gay. I mean, you can define yourself however you want. So yeah, if you want to say it's not cheating, it's not cheating. I agree. Is it hard to be on the road, though, and have all these hot girls if you're in a relationship around? Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I mean, the amount of...
Starting point is 00:43:36 Bert's a good fucking husband. The chicks would be like, oh, goddamn, I want that in my life. I'm sure they're constantly going like, hey, you can have it. No, he said he's, you can have it. No, he said he's completely shut off to it. He said he doesn't... He is, as much of a drinker as he is, he's just like a wholesome kid. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:55 He's the guy at the frat. He's still in a frat, but he's like, guys, let's drink tonight. I got cornhole. You know? And you're like, all right. And everyone's like, let's go try to get laid. He's like, no, come on.

Okay. Yeah. They, they go fucking hard. Are you garbage is fun. Cause they ask you, have you been on, are you garbage? What's that? It's these two guys who are like real trash and they judge whether you are.
Starting point is 00:44:38 Oh, so they ask you questions. They, you, yeah, you should go on there. What's the criteria? So they'll ask you questions you've never thought of. So my first time was like have you ever microwaved eggs and it's like in college yeah and like write down like notes you're like no in college like this like and they have a lot of questions that get to the heart of it like an autism test and they'll be like they'll be like oh they asked me once like have you ever squeegee cleaned your car? I'm like, guys, I was a poor, it's been a decade or two, but yeah. And they're like, okay.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Yeah. And it really makes you mad. Are you garbage? Are you garbage? No. Were you garbage? First of all, the unverified results. It's just up to them.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Yes, I was. You were garbage. Yes. Okay. I want to go on that. You should. I have microwave things. Has anybody not been garbage that's been on the show? Segura, for some reason, was class.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Classy or trashy. I disagree with a lot of their... He lied. I don't know if he's being truthful. Well, yeah, I don't know. It's up to them. It's up to them. I've squeegees my car and I've...
Starting point is 00:45:39 It's a great way to get it clean. But I was young. So does that still count? They say you have that in you. So people become rich and it's like, well, they are these different people. But then it young. So does that still count? They say you had that in you. So people become rich and it's like, well, they are these different people. But then it's like, who are you really, though? I got to be honest, though.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Yeah. I would still microwave eggs. In a pinch? In a pinch. Yeah. I didn't even know you could do that. I would never microwave eggs or a squeegee microwave. That's a real garbage. We literally just talked about how you woke up on the streets with the sun under
Starting point is 00:46:05 you would for sure. You can't. You're done. He doesn't do anything. You woke up at a homeless encampment? He did. It was across the street from it. No, it wasn't. Don't lie. That is such. Across the street from a homeless encampment is still a homeless encampment. That's just adjacent. Don't lie about what happened. It was homeless adjacent.
Starting point is 00:46:21 Didn't you pee your pants? That's like saying I live in Beverly Hills when you live like just outside Beverly Hills. He does these things and then he doesn't tell the true story until like five story. You slowly. You uncover details.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Yeah. So fun to do that. And you're like, wait, I thought you said you got there on Tuesday, but you said now Monday. And you're like, fuck. Like he's been working
Starting point is 00:46:39 with us for a long time and we had this and he was telling me, he's like, yeah, like the last event we did, I was like, you know, so responsible. I was watching everyone went out to the bars in austin i was all good and then later another person that said yeah i shared a wall with taylor his whole night and
Starting point is 00:46:52 just heard him throwing up all night i love it i love it i love a good truth see you got me you can't rebuttal it back there yeah yeah the other day you told me this story about how he premature ejaculated. And when he did it, it shot up all over his chest into his mouth. It wasn't in my mouth. When you told the story the first time. Wait, what? Yeah, he has a form. Premature ejaculation
Starting point is 00:47:25 during sex it's like the summer before the act it just lost control he didn't know he didn't know what edging was yet wait wait
Starting point is 00:47:32 wait it was the summer of edging I know it's a lot so you were just making out like you got to the point of nudity and then just shot
Starting point is 00:47:39 a load up into the air you guys do like a sober October challenge sometimes he did the summer of edging summer of edging summer of edging. Summer of edging. Summer of edging. Four months of like
Starting point is 00:47:47 build up. Four months. Wow, I did a month once. Yeah, he had an encounter four months in and it was just four months. Yeah, but like at what point was it,
Starting point is 00:47:56 okay, if the clothes were on, you're not going to shoot in your face. It has to be in between. What were you doing? Just dry humping? Rubbing the outside? Yep, exactly.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Rubbing the outside. He was dry humping and he splooged all over his face and his mouth. What does the lady say at that point? She didn't know. I mean, she didn't know. She would know.
Starting point is 00:48:13 I'm sure she would at least go, how does it feel? No, because I just was like, I've got to use your restroom real quick. I've got to go to the bathroom. She didn't know. Or she does now. Some random guy in my bathroom
Starting point is 00:48:23 would come all over his... It's like enough is enough. She didn't know. And she does now. Some random guy in my bathroom would come all over his... It's like enough is enough. She didn't know. And then he came on the podcast and told the whole story and then went over to her house and left the editing file open and then she heard it
Starting point is 00:48:34 and lost her marbles on it because that's how she found out. What? Yes, that literally is true. That is what happened. She's probably going to hear it now. Oh my God. And he'd have to live through that trauma
Starting point is 00:48:43 once again. I'm sorry, whoever you are. So you were just edging the whole four months just getting close and then stopping like a fucking i didn't realize that you were supposed to do it and then it like eventually released before so i just kept taking i was like literally living life on the edge were you just blue balled all the time pretty much were you just like oh you sat down like good front hemorrhoids he has a little bit of a porn addiction problem yeah no he solved it i think no he didn't he i know he did not solve it he watches it about can i just say for a wellness podcast this is pretty fucking out there is that how this was sold to you yeah oh she said we're gonna go talk about your wellness i don't know actually i am curious how they did sell it to
Starting point is 00:49:24 you when they reached out. Yeah, tell us how they sold it. They were like, they got a cancellation. Would you be up for it? I'm like, yeah, what's their deal? She's like, your wellness lady. And like, I don't know. And I was like, okay.
Starting point is 00:49:32 And then I clicked once just to see, and I saw, you know, Gwyneth here. And you said yes. And I'm like, all right, well, I guess this is what they are. Let's have some fun. But there's a fun range. This was a different range than I was expecting. Well, I think that this is a bag of Chex you never know what you're gonna get podcast i wouldn't call it a wellness podcast i would say and listen loved speaking to gwyneth it would have been hard to
Starting point is 00:49:54 broach the edging conversation i don't know though she has the candle that actually smells like my vagina no you know what she was pretty cool i bet we could have got her there if we edged into it a little bit. I don't really know that she would want to know about Taylor's edging or how he pees when he's drunk or just like all of it. But you know, yeah, we like to consider ourselves a duo with range.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Is edging really just a new version of like pulling out before you come in one minute? Is that just edging where it's like, hold on, give it a sec? Wait, so you bait. Is that the new don't move, don't move, don't move? I picture it and I've never actually seen someone do it. Michael doesn't have this problem. I picture it like you're jacking off and right before you're about to come, you stop.
Starting point is 00:50:37 Exactly. You're supposed to have, so. But then you can't touch it for a minute. Exactly. Or breathe on it. You gotta reset. Or breathe on it or have any movement at all because you're that close. The sex party guy
Starting point is 00:50:47 was telling you about. What did he call it, Taylor? Dick control? Some kind of dick. I don't remember. He said Jamin promised that he could help Taylor
Starting point is 00:50:54 work through it. Do you want to go to one of Jamin's parties? One of the sex parties? For sure. For sure. You go in Germany to some places
Starting point is 00:51:03 and it's just fucking so cool. Tell us about it. Have you Germany to some places, and it's just fucking so cool. Tell us about it. Have you gone? Yeah. Well, it's just like, there's just like certain clubs. They're like, yeah, they're just nuts.
Starting point is 00:51:13 And I walked in there. I didn't know what to expect. I like, you know, Molly and dancing, white boy dancing, just jumping. And then like, you get in. My friend Tommy had to get in. He's like, you're just going to learn some German. Because they want a lot of Latin tourists, really.'s like, you're just going to learn some German. So because they want to let in tourists really.
Starting point is 00:51:26 So either wear all leather or just learn some German. So he told me like, Hey, where, what time is lunch tomorrow or something like that? And I said, I think 11 or 1130 Martha's meeting us. And then he said something back in German. And then we just said that when he got to the front and the guy's like, all right, you guys go ahead. So then we're like, Oh my God, so much sound. It's overwhelming.
Starting point is 00:51:43 And you're like, what the fuck? I saw people in like, in like ballererina outfits like had coming out into the lobby and you're like whoa they're like worn out from like 10 hours of going for it you can check your coat story is somebody checked their gimp there once and was like you got to stay there while i'm dancing and have a good time these places are fucking nuts first thing i see when i go in i'm like let's get a beer i got it's too much for me i'm an introvert it's too much so it's like blaring music like sound systems made for this place and i go in, I'm like, let's get a beer. I got, it's too much for me. I'm an introvert. It's too much. So it's like blaring music. It's like sound systems made for this place. And I go in there and I see it's a bar kind of like this long bar.
Starting point is 00:52:12 I'm at the edge and I see way down there, a guy with no shirt on just ordering like two beers like this. And just like, I was like, Oh, he's drunk, but he's like moving rhythmically. And I'm like, what's going on? And then I looked down and what was moving him was a man's fist just disappeared into his ass. Just gone. And just, and just push. So that's why he's like, like the movement. He's a hand puppet.
Starting point is 00:52:39 I did. Yes, he was a hand puppet. I'd like to think one of those two beers was for the puppet master. But I didn't stare how locked up. And the guy was, he was loving it. Both were having a great time. What else was going on at the party? Full, like, you would pass by.
Starting point is 00:52:55 But at a certain point, you'd pass by, and you'd, like, then I got desensitized. But you're, like, walking to another room, and you just see some girl, like, to a guy standing there. And you're just, like, at that point, you're just like, whatever, cool. I try to pretend that I would act cooler in one of those parties, but I feel like I'd be fully overwhelmed.
Starting point is 00:53:11 I think I'd be fine. It's overwhelming. You'd get fine. You'd be fine. I'd be fine. You just have to play it cool. It's hard. You're not used to seeing that,
Starting point is 00:53:19 so it's hard to be like, oh, don't be chill. What do you mean? You see porn. Yeah, it's not every day that you see some guy being worked like a puppet. Yeah.
