04:47Where are you guys headed to?I know you're headed to Perth, I saw.Perth, Sydney.Oh, yeah.Another one.Maybe Melbourne?Yeah?It could be wrong.
04:57I have no idea.You know, when you get a tour schedule and you're super intimidated and you just go day by day.But I know we're doing it.Oh, here they are.Singapore.Whoa.Yeah.And what's causing all that?
05:09There's a lot of good street food there.That was just Burke.I don't know if, you know.We have the same age.Yeah, we're the same age.So, you know, he'll be like, yeah, you know.you can fit this one in there.You know, it's on the way.
05:19There's a layover over.Well, don't you parachute into the Azores.I got a hostage facility outside of Guantanamo.I'll sell 200 tickets in right now.They owe me.They owe me.All right.Whatever.
05:31Yeah, they always do owe him.I got it.Dude, that's going to be great.And you're going to Riyadh.So how do you guys feel about this Saudi Arabian comedy festival?There's been a lot of like talk about this recently.are they limiting what you guys can say?Have you heard anything about it yet?
05:51That one I haven't heard much about Singapore.I had like a laundry list of stuff.It was pretty much my whole act.So I don't know.I don't know what to do.I'm like Googling old sets from when I was like 20.Oh, yeah.Just going to do the classics.
06:08Dude, do some of Jim Gaffkin's bits.That's what I do if I'm in a tough spot.Just do, I mean, or just do Nate stuff.Just very evergreen, clean stuff.Have you ever had that problem?Yeah, dude.Oh, yeah, I have it a lot.I mean, I have a lot where it's like you have to sift back through.
06:23They're like, one of them was like you could talk about sex, but like not like in a dirty way.Right.And I'm like, what the fuck does that mean?Yeah.So.I guess let's let's try to have a conversation about sex but not in a dirty way.Oh, man, I had some, I was.I had some sex recently.
06:41Yeah.How to go?Well, I thought it went pretty good, you know?I was on a full stomach.So did you both blast?Hold on.I need to leave this conversation.This isn't Singapore approved, I think.
06:56And they'll beat you with that stick over there.Remember they killed that honky over there like 25 years ago?Remember that guy?Christopher Reeves or whatever.Who was that guy?They killed Christopher Reeves in Singapore.I think, or maybe that's not him.Who was it?
07:12This is a huge thing when I was a child.They beat this guy.for doing something over there.What was you doing?Oh, this guy.Michael Faye, there he was.Oh, man.Tina Faye's brother.
07:24This is why she had to win.She didn't have a choice.The person was famously caned in Singapore's Michael Fayeand American teenager in 1994.Faye was sentenced by a Singaporean courtto six strokes of the caneand four months in jail for acts of vandalismspecifically for spray painting and damaging cars.
07:40Oh, he didn't do anything.As well as stealing road signs, yeah.I mean, that's fine.Oh, that's just a little bit of newsome foreplay right there.That's nothing, dude.That's sad.It's sad in general, but just for like spray painting cars and stealing road signs.I feel like they should just, you know, cut your hand off or something.
07:59Well, I think this guy's pretty lucky, dude.Some places, I guess they still have a lot of that.But no, what I've heard, dude, is at that Riyadh festival is that you, that they're like,you know, there's a lot of people that say people are getting paid by this Middle Eastern money.Right.You know, and that they can say this or they can't say that or that they're over there.they're going to try to influence you guys in order to speak certain ways.Do you, are you part of that conspiracy theory or is that nothing you're on?
08:22I've heard there's subredits of like, I think all these people are in bed with that.I just, you know, I get the routing and then I see the number and I go, I'll go.Okay, okay.Yeah, you know, and also, you know, there's part of me that's just like, you know, I've been getting a little bit of a flack just because like my dad died 9-11.So they're like, how could you possibly go there?So your dad died during 9-11.He died in one of the buildings?Yeah, he was a fireman.
08:53They were actually the first truck there.There's like this very, this is how shitty my luck is.Also, not to make this all about myself, but, uh...Well, it's an interview of you.Right.If you do, it's okay.I met 9-11, but yeah, yeah, it's all about me.There's a very famous shot that you see every 9-11 besides the obvious ones,
09:15but they were the first truck over the bridge to the 9-11?Yeah, so the front page is just like, Pete's dad.I'm like, oh.So he's waving out the window.Yeah, he's like that.So, yeah, they were the first truck over there and pretty much the whole house,the whole house, you know, died.Oh.
09:34Which is sad, but also at least he died with his pals.You know, it's kind of.They all went as a group, huh?That's his truck one of the team.No, that's the picture.You see the truck on the bridge?Oh.Yeah, yeah.
09:44My dad's in there, dude.I wonder.Oh, man.Sorry.Well, you know.That's something Shane Gillis would say, dude.Pretty gay, dude.He's in there.
09:53It's pretty gay.I don't know.Yeah, my Down syndrome brother's in there.Yeah, that's what I feel like that's what Shane would say the whole time.That's your dad right there?That's my pops, dude.Dude, he's, you're meck, you're part, you're Mexican, Latino?No, no, all white and Jewish and Irish.
10:09Oh, wow.Yeah, but I feel like our family looks mixed, but we're not.Well, it's crazy that he died in nine,11 and also part of him is accused of doing it.That's the craziest part.So I think that's where you're like the,you're the fucking, you're the Bermuda Triangle of 9-11.Well, it is a little weird that they were the first truck there.
10:30That is true.It's almost like he was too ready to go.Yeah, it's the old Irish hello, huh?Yeah, that's the Irish part, I think.Oh, man, he's a handsome guy.What was he like?He was fucking hilarious, man.My memories are, you know, few and far between.
10:45because I was seven, but I just remember laughing a lot, him being pretty jacked and spoke a lotof cigarettes and driving a Subaru Impraza. That's all I remember. Always had a big smile on hisface, but my favorite thing is, I don't know if you have, I'm sure you do, people come to your showsand they're like, I know, I know your dad or I know your cousin or whatever. A lot of peoplelie to me about that just to come backstage because they know I can't be like, you know, sure,Or whatever, but I don't want to hear about it.Of course you want to hear a story about your day.Of course.
11:19I could always tell who is telling the truth because the second they start talking,they have this big smile and their eyes kind of light up.And they call him Scotty, which is what his friends call them.So I always could tell.And everything I hear is always really sweet.I'm sure they, like, keep the horrible things away.Yeah, Scotty met him in the Jets.Yeah.
11:39He did.He's a big Jets fan.Oh.Yeah.But you lost your props.You were young too, right?Yeah, I was 16.dad out he was just older though but i think like yeah just yeah i mean losing your dad when you're a kid
11:53is kind of tough i think it's obviously it's tough i think it's it is funny as you get older you want to knowthe different stuff about him you know yeah like was he a pervert yeah what he like because it'sstill more information you know like did he sleep in his car whatever you know like what did he doyou know for fun i think it's worse at your age though because you could fully understand the scopeof what happened and you're at such a pivotal age in your life where you're growing and becoming a manI was really young so I didn't even really know what the fuck happened and it hit me later like when Iwas in college I was like oh I'm pretty angry about this like it'll show up more and more as I getolder because you understand like that's really sad to happen to a kid but I feel like your age
12:36and forgive me if I'm wrong but like that's like that's like visceral that's that's some toughshit yeah i think you know my dad was so old my dad was set you know my dad was born in 1910 he wasa old man and so what he was 70 when i was born so he was 86 at that time right holy shit so itwasn't like i had like this you know uh dad that had this energy and you know i had this kind of dadthat was like a sleeping in the distance a lot or like you know all inadvertently causing shitto have like falling asleep and the car boy would come picking up and he'd fucking doze off out thereyou know and uh and if my dad had this he was always buying cars off these brothers that livedaround the corner right and so he had one time he had this cutlass had some 20 twos in the trunk
13:21some fucking bangers in that bitch and he would just listen to like uh rush limbaugh and shitlike on with bow with base cranked up oh bro and like uh it would be like paul harveyand there's like these old commentators and he would fucking just doze off in hiscar and whenever he dozed off his he was old his eyes would like leak and they're just like waterkind of pour out of because you're getting old you know your gaskets get bad and so he was justfucking just shedding water weight and I was just fucking like what is going on so you're a littleprepared you're a little prepared I was prepared that thing you were going to go well rightyou know so my dad kind of was like a driving 9-11 like he like kind of pulled up in his own little
14:08Like I would have been awesomeIf we got to put my dad's car behind that fire truckSuperimpose your dad's car in thereYeah he was always a 9-11 dudeEvery time he came inAnd it's something you'd have to get his fucking carterHe didn't work get to climb in the fucking winEverything was a fucking nightmare with him
14:25And the teachers would always look at you likeDon't get in there with your dadYeah but that's your parent picking you up likeBut then there's little things likeDid you have some nice mementos of his?I have actually I have hishis uh his wedding ring uh i wear all the time and i have uh his it's actually super fucked upbut i have his uh badge like his chain his badge and and they found that's how they you know
14:50because everybody was pretty burnt up yeah so that's how they knew it was him and uh i have it and ijust keep it in a safe because like with my luck i'll lose that shit but um i have like a coupleof those things and i have uh his uh his fire his like jacket and like other set of pants and i putthem like on the wall i like framed them but then i put them i took them down though because likesometimes i'll be feeling good and then i'll see that and i'll be like yeah you know it's like aweird it's a weird thing i remember my mom has it's like everywhere you look it's like you know my dadlike and it's fucking it's kind of put on a condom hey that's a lot it's sorry that's crazyi was just trying to make you laugh no it did make me laugh but it's kind of haunting where you're
15:35just like i would like the option like if i want to go downmemory lane right i can but like you just like have your dad staring out you everywhere you don'tmemory lane just hanging out on the wall being like hey do a lap you yeah yeah yeah oh do you have anystuff for your dads you have those speakers no what do we have we have we have i have his passportfor whenever he moved to the u.s where's he from he's from nicaragua he came down here when i thinkhe was like let me see i guess he was 12 or whatever um that's wild it was pretty wellI don't know anyone from there.That's crazy.
16:09I don't know.I don't know.It's like a real place.It's like a place you live on MySpace when you're in high school.Oh, Nicaragua?Yeah, yeah, yeah.Yeah, or Schenectady, New York.Oh, yeah, yeah.
16:18Kalamazoo, Michigan.Yeah, yeah, yeah.Dude, I remember when I saw Kalamazoo in the airport one time,people were going there one day.I couldn't even fucking believe it.I thought they were, like, traveling in a damn Dr.Dr. Seuss novel or something.I was like, tell Cindy Lou Who.
16:30I said, what's up, huh?How old is she?You feel me, BLM, dude?but yeah i think as you get older stuff like that's interesting were you able to find pieces offatherhood and other men as you got older yeah i think that's inadvertently what i was doingi wasn't like very conscious like i need to find me a dad you know yeah but but as i look backthough you know that was what was cool about getting into comedy i was 16 so everyonethe youngest uh comedian friend i had was like i don't know 29 30 30
17:05It was like Che, DeStefano.Oh, that's great.You know, all those guys, Janice, Nate, Soder.And, like, it was all dudes that were older than me that, like, you know, obviously there's not,there wasn't a lot of other younger dudes, but I really, I've really looked up to them.And, like, I just see Joey, I do shows with Joey.Yeah, all the time.He's, like, in his 50s.
17:26So most of my friends I find are, like, you know, 40 and up because I think that makes me feel safe.and also just like there's just for some form of like big brother sort of thing yeah somebodylooking out for you but also when you go through a tragedy that young like your brain is olderlike i always felt like um i was older um like in school where like when that happened you knowkids would be like you want to have a pool party and i'm like no like i want to smoke cigarettes andcry like i'm that's yeah it's like it's like it's like it's notThat, like, innocence is kind of taken away really fast,and that's why I got into stand-up.
18:09I'd watch, you know, Burr and Chappelle and, you know, Rodney's my favorite.So I think that's why I, like, veered towards laughing a lot.Yeah.Yeah.I'm just a sad dude.Like, I feel like most of us are pretty.Were you as pretty sad dude, you think?Yeah, I think there's my mom.

21:20prize picks is the best place to win cash while watching sports if you like to fire onsports. If that's not your thing or you can't handle it, that ain't for you, King. But footballseason is fully underway and there's no better time to join. The app is really easy to use.To create a lineup, all you have to do is pick more or less on a few players' stats. That's it.Prize picks is in more than 40 states, including California, Texas, and Georgia. And withpromo code Theo, you can play $5 and get $50.in lineups. It's heartbreaking to say it, but with the Saints playing as tragically as they areand possibly being sold in a few years in a package deal with the Pelicans, I am choosing
22:09some of the Buffalo Bills this week for my players. I'm picking more than two and a halftouchdowns for Josh Allen, and I'm picking more for Keon Coleman. That's where I'm at. Those aremy picks. You can also tail me in the prize picks app, and now you can even follow me on prize picksAt the Ovan, prize picks. It's good to be right. You know, Bitcoin hit an all-time high of$124,000 in August, which is wild considering that it was trading around $60,000 last year.When I need more Bitcoin, because I'm in, I'm in. I go to Moon Pay. Yep. Moon Pay is alwaysthe first app that I open because it doesn't force you to buy a whole coin, and it's supereasy to use. Now, I do want to say that moon pay is one of the biggest partners of our show,
23:02which we're grateful for, and they've also allowed me to accept my payment from them in Bitcoin.Yep, that's how I'm doing it instead of US dollars. I'm planning to hold and save that Bitcoinin my Moon Pay account. The Bitcoin will sit in a digital Moon Pay wallet that nobody can accessexcept for me.Yup.The U.S. dollar continues to fluctuate in value, so by making this decision, I'm diversifyingmy portfolio and hopefully earning more from our partnership than I would have otherwise.Remember, while Moon Pay makes buying crypto straightforward, it's essential to do your
23:43own research and understand the risks involved.Crypto trading can be volatile, and you could lose your investment.Moon Pay is a tool to facilitate your transactions, not.a source of financial advice trade responsibly did you ever get that bad off with like youremotions or were you always able to have some awareness you think uh i've i'm good now but i've iused to dip in in that air i was very like um growing up i i wanted to die to be with my dadreally very badly i want to so i try this is so fucking embarrassing but i can't i said reallywhen you said that also of course no yeah but i like i tried my first time when i was like eight i
24:27tried to like drown myself and then my mom like this is so dark but like found me in the poolseeing what i was trying to do and then she took me to like a psych ward and i was like eight soi've i've struggled with that and then i kind of got out of it uh when i first started i would sayright around when I got S&L because I didn't have many friends growing up.And it was my fault.Like I've said this before where like I was suffering and I was super weird.And I was like, you know, very visibly hurting.But, you know, kids don't know that that's what you're going to.
25:05They just think you're weird.Like they don't have this scope of.Did you feel like a lot of like thoughts and stuff were trapped inside of you kind of?Or what do you feel like you think?Yeah, it was like on a hamster wheel of just like I have.because I have OCD and, you know, manic depression.So, like, it's just, that's a horrible combo.And then you start doing drugs and it's like, good luck, you know.
25:26You're a fucking slot machine.Yeah, of depression and the worst stuff.And then I would, like, revert to that when I got sad.But then when I started doing stand-up, I kind of was like,I found, like, a group of weird friends and, like, artists are cool.And they understand, like, sadness.and, like, a lot of them are, like, you know, not afraid to talk about that stuff.Oh, yeah.
25:51You know, and I really, like, I was like, oh, yeah, you know.And then there's this weird thing.I don't know if you've really had this because I know everybody just fucking loves you as they should.But I had this thing where, like, I came out and everyone really rallied behind me.It was like, oh, this kid, look what happened to him as a kid.And now he's doing this.And that's super cool.And it was, like, all going up.
26:14And then it flipped.And then it was like, fuck this dude.I don't like this dude.I hate this dude.And, like, we're in the internet age, so I'm reading all that shit.Oh, yeah.And then it brought me back to, like, childhood high school, like, not fitting in, like, again.Low self-worth attaches to all that old shit.
26:32Then that shit started to pop back in.And then that's where I started, like, doing drugs.And then a year and a half ago, I was like, I was just like, I need to want to, I need to beokay if not all this goes away like if like it can't be for stand up it can't be for this movieit can't be for this girl it can't even be for my family like i have to want to be okayotherwise all this shit doesn't work fuck dude when you say that's so scary to me it's bro i don'tknow if i could every like even though i feel like i am i don't if there's a big part of me thetruth is i don't know how i would feel if i didn't have somebody else's feelings to base it on you
27:15No, yeah, it's like, uh, or if I didn't how somebody else felt about me to base it on.Yeah, that's, that's how I live. We're, uh, we're, uh, we're people pleasers.Yeah. We laugh at me, please. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, like, watch my movie. Like,when I go outside, take a picture. Like, you know, and then it got, even if you call me a f***or whatever, we can bleep that out. Yeah. Or we can just say that he said it. Yeah.But, uh, anyway, at least that's like, in the, in the context, that makes sense. Yeah.Yeah. Yeah. Only if it was during Pride Month.And you mistook me for one of your best buddies.
27:47Yeah, yeah, yeah, not in like a reg.No, no, no, I should stand by that.Okay.Yeah.But, but yeah, you can't, but that's a hard, that's a hard thing to, on, you're undoing for me.It was like, you know, 25 years of people pleasing and that's why I live, you know.So I had to, like, learn how to be okay with this.And, like, also, like, a year, year and a half ago, like, they were like, it's over.
28:11He's done.You know, he's a joke.You have you tabboys, that type of shit?Yeah, it was just like, there was like articles that were like, I smoke crack and live with my mom.And I was like, I was like, all right.Like, it would be part of that.Like, not all of that.It's a two-bedroom.
28:28It sucks what there's like four.It sucks when there's four things in the article that are wrong, but there's one of them.You're like, actually, yeah, that's fucking kind of true.But, you know, and I'm in rehab alone reading this, you know, and a lot of my friends, you know,I would say I still have half of them, but a lot of them, it got to a point with my use and, like, how I was behaving where they were just like, I love you, but like, this is too much.Oh, wow.And when that started happening, it was started happening with people where I was like, well, I don't give a fuck about you anyway.Right.
29:00And then it started happening with, like, people I really cared about.And I was like, oh, shit, like, it's me.Dang.You could only go, it's everybody else for so long.Yeah.And until you're like, okay, I get it.and then, you know, that was kind of it for me.Was there a day you kind of turned it in?
29:17You were like, I'm dropping the rock today, you know?Oh, where I'm just like, I need to leave?Or were you just like, I'm going to go definitely get some help like?Or was there like one conversation that kind of cemented it for you?I guess, yeah, once you start to see like, man, oh, that person is stepping away from me.God, it must be.Yeah.Because it's weird.
29:35Sometimes you want to make your outside, you want to make it match kind of how you feel on the inside.It's like, I want you to leave me.me because I left me so long in my mind everybody left me so fucking long ago that I wantI don't if you the fact you're even still around here fucking makes me not even respect youyou know yeah and like a sick way you know yeah and this part of you that's probably like for meI was like calling bluffs almost where I was just like I I self-sabotage blow up anybody that'sever actually loved me or cared about me has gotten the worst wrath from me you know it's fewand far between but when it happens it's fucked up and but this whole like fuck you leave me like
30:17get ahead leave me what they started to and i was like oh shit you're calling my bluff and i love you and ilove you and i don't want you to go away and then you go into therapy and you're like fear of abandonmentyou have bpd this this is why from your childhood you you did this and your grandpa did this and now you'rethis so like you got to do that sort of work but yeah it got to that point where people i reallyfucking loved and also my mom you know my mom's the most supportive person in the world she's acool lady the best i mean what's her name amy oh it's a good name oh never dated she married a firemanyeah she's she's a nurse like no yeah they met each other in grammar school like super statin islandi want to marry a nurse and my mom look how cute my mom is she's just a sweet lady she never dated
31:01after my mom after my dad died just raised me and my sister like alone and worked hardand she's been the most supportive everand it got to a point where she called mewhen I was in rehaband she was like,my biggest fear is that I will turn on the newsand see that my son has died.And she's never been like that like,
31:23you know,because she's so supportive and just, you know,wants to always have positivity around.Yeah.And she already lost something.She loved it.Exactly.And that fucking that killed me.
31:34Oh.Yeah.So like I was like,all right.You know,can't die.until she's dead at least.Yeah, all right, Amy.
31:39Yeah, you got it.Like, when that lady says that to you, look at that lady.I mean, how are you going to be like,I don't have to be a heartless fucking sociopath to not get my shit together, you know?You're like, okay, this is what I need.Yeah.Oh, good lady.Oh, that's cute, man.
31:55Yeah, I'm a lucky guy in that aspect.I have a really, like, supportive, cool family that has never asked me for anything.And they should.Like, they could.And a lot of them need stuff.Fuck, yeah.You bought Colin Jose, that shitty boat, dude.You can't fucking get them some.
32:12Do you imagine being one of my family members that's like living check to check?And you read that.Sorry.That is so true.Like I have, but I've offered to.I've offered to help.And they just, they're like, nah.Yeah, some people are like that.
32:34And I love that.That's how I am.Here's what I start to realize in my family.I think they're joking.I think they're joking.Like they don't want you to be like, oh,because I'm always like, all right,but they want you to be like,
32:46no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I got this.Yeah.Yeah, dude, I think even just saying thatmakes you think I got to help out my familya little bit more.That's my Staten Island brother right there.Hey, there you go.He's from Staten Island, too?
32:59Yeah, isn't that crazy?I mean, from a good part, clearly.We, obviously.It looks a little different.A little more island.Yeah, a little bit.A little less statin.No, he's the best, man.
33:11He's a real good fucking dude.Is he?Oh, he's the best.I only met him one time, and I think he looked so clean.I was just afraid to get to know him.Oh, dude, he's awesome.You guys would get along great.I don't know anyone that doesn't like, you know, when you're like intimidated or
33:26not intimidated, but you're just like, I don't think me and that dude will have a vibe.And then you're like, oh, we love comedy and we're comics and like, there's that universal thing.So you guys would hit it off.great. And it's also fun to hang out with someone that's like polar opposite in most ways.Oh, that's pretty cool. You know, and we're from the same island. Yeah. But it's like, he golfs.You know, and I'm like, what the fuck is that? Yeah. I was like, we have golf club?I was in Staten Island. I was like, I had no idea, you know? So, um, and you're out there doingtours of the Gilgo Beach killer area. Yeah. Yeah. So different strokes for different folks.
33:58Yeah. Even, yeah, even the theaters he does have like really nice names. Like, I'll look at his tour and I'm like,that sounds nice.All my shit's like,what the fuck is this?Memphis.Oh,it's a burglarice,dude.
34:10Putting you out there,fucking.You're doing a amphitheaterout there at the Gilgo Beach.Killer friggin section.God.Who's this fella?That's the Gilgo Beach.
34:21Oh, gosh.That's your opener in Singapore.That is,dude.You got a rebate from the,from the port authority on that one.Rex Hur,Herrman.
34:33Rex Hurerman.That's the dude that was killing all the hookers, man.That's fucked up.Yeah.That's not cool.How long did you say, I'm trying to think a different,I probably got to go to a place soon and just get some away.I think I've just, I just, everything's just been,
34:51I can barely kind of keep it together every week.Well, you're also one of the most busy people in the world.I mean, you have like the biggest show out there.But I don't know if you had this, you have this feeling where you're like,well, if I go away, it'll all stop.Yeah, I just think everything will fall apart.Or I don't know what I think.Or you'll be like alone with your thoughts.
35:10And like, I think when you work a lot, you don't have time to be like, what am I upsetabout in my childhood or like, whatever?Like, you could take as much fucking time as you like.You deserve it.You deserve a nice little kickback, relax, do something that, like, makes you happy.What makes you happy?Like, what do you like to do?Well, I think some of it's funny that I'll like, thank you, though, for saying some of that stuff.
35:31No, it's true, bro.It is true.It is true. I think it's hard for.for me to get that. It's hard for me to like get that into my system, you know. And then towant to do it. I think like, you know, I'm kind of married to work. Like I choose to work.Like sometimes I think about like I had this girlfriend, this really great girl that I wasseeing for years. And I don't know if we're supposed to stay together or not, but sometimeswhen I think about life or certain things, she's kind of the one that I miss. It doesn't
35:52mean we're supposed to stay together, but there was still like a good enough connection thatwas very real that it was like, man, that's her affection is what I miss. Right. And caring abouther is kind of what I miss.But I could see myself.We'd go out and do stuff and then we'd come back home and I could see how she would seeme across the room.I'd sit down.I'd put my computer on my lap and just start working.
36:15Like, it doesn't matter.If I had 33 seconds, it always went to that, you know.And just like a couple of months ago, I started thinking, oh, man, that's what she musthave seen all the time, you know?Right.Someone looking up and someone just not there.Yeah.Right.
36:28But you are there, but you're just, this is your comfortability.Right.It's comfortable. It's reliable. I know the return. I know the rate of return.You enjoy it? Yeah, I enjoy it. It's based. If I fail in it, that's fine. It's totally on me.It's all. There's no room for any. I mean, there's room for other people in here, really, but it's definitely, you know, it's just you put it in, you get out, right?But so I don't know. Like, yeah, I think that's something, like, just like that addiction to work.But then I'm getting older. I'd like to have a family, you know, and you're like, well, I don't know how that's going to happen unless I do some things different.And so that's where I'm like, I got to, I think I got to just, you know, I don't know.
37:07But you're sober too, right?Yeah.This year's been a little, little, I've had a couple tough moments this year.This past year has been the toughest year that I've had in a while.Yeah.I hear that.But.But like this is like, you know, drugs for me and smoking weed and, you know, that that was like, those were my friends.
37:28I never did it to go party or like, I was never like, hey, let's like, go.go fucked up i did it at home pretty much alone and i would just watch family guy just it was likea you know warm hug or like it when you get rid of your friends it's like what's left it's likework nicotine yeah am i supposed to give up those too like it's all i have like like i your bodyneeds to appreciate the friends you just let go you know it's if you let go of too many things atonce like it it's not good for you so it's like i don't know if that's how it is with you but like it'shard to have a healthy relationship with like like my reliability right now are like workingzen and like working out and taking care of my girl and like hang out with her that's like
38:12that's all i have like if you pull one of those way it's like three left you know i used to have eightthings and now it's like so it's tough it's tough yeah i think it's like i do think there's a lot ofstuff there where it's like i don't want to probably see some of it you know or i don't reallywant to feel like if I don't have a some girl to text or a date to plan or something in thedistance or some work thing. Like if I took everything away and I was just with myself,how would I feel, you know, or what would that be like? And it would probably be fine. But I thinkit's the fear of what would that be like. It's the hurdle, not the other side a lot of times for me,you know. It's the same thing that comes with like commitment to relationships. I had the toughest time
38:56committing in relationships. I think it's just, it's probably fine on the other side.Right. It's just fucking stepping over the hurdle sometimes. Do you think you romanticizethe fear a little bit as an out where it's just like in your head, you're like, no, this iswhat it's going to be like. And then there's like a fear of like, I do it and that's not whatit's like. And then that whole thing is gone. Does that make sense? It's sitting into me.Like, do you think, like, having that set answer of like, well, if I do that, I won't be able to commitor it's going to go wrong or whatever, like,you're preventing yourself from even trying to do it.
39:29Oh, I see what you're saying.Because it probably is what you need.Right.Like, and you can do it.And there's almost like not, like, you don't believe in yourself enough.Does that make sense?Yeah.Because that's a lot of, a lot of my issues are like that.
39:44Yeah?Where I'm like, he, Pete can't do that.Like, I can't.Oh, that's interesting.And then I can, I like, I like prove myself wrong and I'm not who I thought I was.Oh, and that's scary.you not be who thought you were yeah because that's the person that i that i whoever that person iswhatever there is of them that's what i've known yes and that's my and that you're comfortable in that
40:03yeah even if it's traumatic or you're depressed like i was so i'm so afraid to be happy yeah becauseit's uncomfortable dude there was a time this is like a year ago it's funny you're saying some ofthis man and thanks for thinking about it with me no of course um yeah the time like a year ago i wasthinking uh if i don't want to feel like i don't even know who i'd be if i was happy and ifIf I was, I would leave all of these feelings that I've always known so much that are like the best fucking friends, you know?Yeah.And it would be like, I almost didn't even, did, man, I don't want to go do live like that because I'll desert these, whether they're lies or truths, whatever they are.They're probably all in somewhat of cloaks or masks, but I don't want to desert them.
40:47I'm so used to being at this party with this other small group of fucking lonely, perverted.gambling a little.Yeah.But, you know, that group that I don't even want to go over there.But still, yeah.So, yeah, I think there's a lot.There's probably just the fact of even taking time away to sit and have conversations like thisor to be in environments where I'm not like regulating how I feel with Celsius,
41:13which the Amateur using now I've heard.Dude, that was the best.I don't know if you were recording, but I mentioned before that, that dude was awesome.and you said you were in contact with himand my question was howdude we got to send you over thereto see that guy I would love to hang with that dudesometimes like I don't know
41:34when I watched it one I thought it was really coolyou did that because you switch it up you'll have likean Oscar actor than an athletethan like this Amish kidbut it made me like appreciativefor like what I get to do and what we getto do and what we some things I takefor granted when he was just like stoked to like getting a corvette with like two chicks and he's
41:58like that was like my whole life and I'm like oh it was pretty fast too yeah press the pedalyeah so it made me super reflective like and like one I thought he was adorable yeah he's niceyeah nice and like very honest and earnest but I also was just like man I got to stop like take a shitlike that for granted yeah I think a lot of that justcomes into gratitude, you know, and having that, if we can mass, if we can just try to get thatas part of our days, you know, I struggle with that, but I think that's it too, you know.Serotonin must be so, fuck, like, you're operating at such a crazy level, dude, you're interviewingthe fucking president. Like, you get to do shit every day that is someone's like, if I get to do that
42:41once in my life, like, that's my whole life. And you're living that every day. So it's like,that the crash is, it's hard. Well, you too, man. I mean, at least you got to date a lot ofbeautiful women. I got stuck just interviewing the presidentand this Amish kid.You know what I'm saying?I trade.I trade. I trade. I'm not trading him.He's only 16 from small. That's illegal.
43:07I will say a funny thing about him.One of my favorite things is, I was like, see, do you ever listen to music?He's like, well, we do three hymns every day when we get to school.He goes, but every now and then, we'll sneak off and listen to some deaf leopard.Oh.So fucking rock.That's awesome, dude.That's fucking awesome.
43:25And cool for Def Leppard, dude.That's what I thought.Dude, they should do an Amish festival or something.They should go straight there.Absolutely, right to the source.Yeah, right to the fucking source, dude.I haven't heard of Def Leopard since Joe Dirt.Def Leopard sucks.
43:41But that shit made me laugh.And he said they listened to some Morgan Wallen.Who's that?That's, I mean, and some Gunna.I mean, and Gunna?Yeah.That's, I would pay to see.Bring that up.
43:51But also, wait, before you do, the guy on the left in this photo, is that not Bruce Springsteen?Yeah, it is, obviously.That's Bruce Springsteen?How?Yeah.What do you mean that's not Bruce Springsteen?Who is that guy?I know he's in DeF Leppard, but that's Bruce Springsteen.
44:09Who is that guy?Google, like, zoom in.That's Bruce Springsteen.Dude.Oh, yeah, Tim.Oh, now it's not as much.But it looked like him for a second.There's David Hassel off over there on the right.
44:21do you have footage of him listening to gunna dude oh no but he does have a good quote about iti would love you know what's one of the funny things is uh morgan walton and i were texting and he'slike man i think what if that kid did that walk out with me at my concert oh dude and but he doesn'thave an idea he was maybe he i think it was i think it was being considered for canadahis show in edmonton last week but um they don't get the amish don't get identification oh wowthey're off the map they don't get like a pass no IDno somebody's like you have to just draw a picture he's helping to show itlike that but they have like bursts they don't have any of that shit
45:00they're like off grid like that I'm gonna get him to come backanother time and get a little bit more in depth with him dude he comes he has abackwards hat he has fucking ice on he's so differenthe's talking down to you like I would love to see that episodehe's so full of himself dudewearing a fucking Ricky Williams jerseyHe has a tattoo on his backThis butter don't churn
45:25Don't churn on meYeah don't churn on me dudeLet's play this rightHe gotta get a couple of thoseLike a couple get her doneA couple likeYeah we have to get himA couple Hawk Tua sort of statements
45:38You know what I meanSo he could sell his own merchOut of the Amish country out of his hatPulling out of merch out of the hatThat'd be fireOr she sell those hatsMusic do you guys listen toI know you said in the beginning
45:47there's some different sometimes people sneak in some deaf leopard but if not you guys justsing a lot is there a lot of amish songs and dancing as well or no in our community there'snot really any dancing there's like the only like the only music songs that are really a louderwould be like like chairman hymns and sometimes we like sneak out on the weekends and stuff and and uhlisten to some soldier boy or something yeah like like uh deaf leper or bon chovi bon choviBanschtovy.A lot of Amish, like, rock and roll, and then I guess, house idiom music.And then also a lot of country, like Garterbrokes, Mark and Walling.
46:23So we crank up Spotify.I also listen to, like, a little bit of rap stuff.Like, Amish Paradise is, that's a pretty good song.Amish Paradise is a pretty good song.Who sang that?Weird Al Yankovic I did.Oh, did you?That makes perfect sense.
46:37That's grew.Yeah.Amish Paraly.That's a pretty, I love that song.That's a banger, huh?It is a banger.Yeah.He looks a little bit mad there, but.
46:44It was a pretty good song.It's like me liking a song that just is called 9-11.Also, like, I like to listen a little bit of, like, rap stuff, too.Oh, yeah?Yeah, like Ghana, a little bit of, uh, Ghana.Oh, you listen to some Ghana?Yeah, like, uh, like, I don't really listen to what he says.I looked at the lyrics, like, a couple times.
47:03Like, there are, there's, the lyrics aren't the best, but like, I like the songs.He's a vibe, yeah.That's good.That's dope, dude.That's good.That kid rule.he does rule man you know what's funny man even you're saying that about him it's like anyone i thinkabout like the worst thing i think is like about drugs addiction that sort of thing and it could be
47:28like i'm in like group like s laa like i'm in all like i'm in a lot of different groups you knowlike intimacy disorder type shit like connect connectivity disorder you know like um which probablysome of you stems from just like watching porn and growing up like that but any addictionand stuff it takes you away from like just good moments in life right yeah it takes you away fromlike the mornings where you get to meet up and meet with a friend for coffee or you get to workout and feel good about yourself walking out or you get to text a friend in the morning and say heyhave a great day right or you get to sit with somebody like that who's just figuring out when you'relike don't jerk off don't jerk off don't jerk off don't jerk off yeah yeah and then you jerk off and then you
48:07go hang out with oh that's a fucking worst dude no it's tough dude when you feel like everybody knowsyou've been jerking off yeah yeah yeahIt's worse.It's like smoking weed where you're like, everyone knows I'm high.Everyone knows I just jerked off.Yeah.Because I'm so relaxed.Do you keep up with it when, are you more into the meetings and stuff when you're like,
48:27fuck, I like, I'm like tweaking or do you do it both like regularly and when you're.Oh, if I'm having tough times or not having tough times, I'm always to go to meetings.Cool.Yeah.Meetings have always been kind of a thing for me, I think.Do you have a, do you have, I'm sure, I don't know if you feel this way, but sometimesyou're in a meeting you're like some of these dudes just like to talk yeah where you're likeoh this guy's here yeah and he's gonna tell that story and it's so long yeah and it means so much to
48:57him and it's pretty mid compared to anything i've ever done it's that it's not to diminish hisstuff but like yeah there's some meet there's some meeting like warriors where you're like okay yeahthat got it yeah one dude would play that song this little light of mine have you ever heard thatduring his shares or whatever.I never saw it, but I know that song.This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine.But he would put that really low on his phonewhile he would share at a meeting, dude, and people would be like,
49:23oh, dude, that's tough.So some of that shit was crazy, but then that's when I'm recognized,oh, I have, I'm impatient with people,and this is a practice for me to just sit here and be patient.Right.You know?Yeah.But the best is being-
49:37Also, that's annoying as fuck.Yes.Yes.But you have to find the balance.Yeah.Because that is, that sucks.I don't want you to think you're acting out of character.Like, I need to be a better person.
49:49That sounds like it's miserable.Yeah, and someone's he would even do the city can't hold us, whatever that song is.But you'll be go back.Oh, it was a home bank.The city can't hold.Who cares?Have you been jerking off or not?It's Raymond's turn to share.
50:10Let's fucking keep it moving, dude.sometimes you're like fuck but then you're like i'm impatient and that's why i'm probably notprobably why i'm not i have not in a relationship i'm just impatient you know or like those types ofthings you know oh it's macklemore sorry dude i love macklemore too i love macklemore too i hope he dropsa bangers too we miss him bro oh he'd be perfect that would be perfect that would be sickthe macklemore revival in amish country bro if macklemore he'sGet up the Amish, dude.That's an untapped market.
50:45This haybell can hold us.This yellow fever can hold us.Do they get diseases out there?I don't even know.Well, they don't have doctors, right?They just have a guy that's like...The bishop?Yeah.
50:57That's what he says all the time.Do people drop like flies in Amish country?People don't die that much.There's no depression.There's no ADHD out there.Bro, they're living.They're...How big is the town?
51:07Like, is it a mile?That's a good point.Because I imagine it just looks like a...back to the future to three set.Says mercantile.Yeah, just like six like houses and dirt, you know.I think you're right.Right?
51:26He gave a tour of his house here.Somebody said when his parents were out,not out of town,but they weren't like in another district.Is that it right there?Oh, that's the back to the future.Yeah, I think you're pretty right.I feel like it looks like that, dude.
51:36It has to.You're setting up an Airbnb over there.Did you, um,Once you started to feel better, did you, did that create a space?Because I know you're having a child.You have a child yet?I'm having a child.Yeah, yeah, yeah.
51:49A boy?We have not disclosed.But you do know, though.Oh, we know.Okay, got it.Yeah, yeah, yeah.But yeah, coming soon, dropping a baby soon.Okay.
52:00Yeah, I'm fucking thrilled, dude.That's cool.It was, uh...Was it hard to get to that place?Do you think you'd have been able to get there if you didn't get into, like, insobriety or those sort of things or get into the recovery, like that sort ofenvironment like did that adjust any of the way that you were like thinking about having afamily or relationships or anything so thank god that i'm sober and where i i wish i had more
52:26time i don't think anybody's ever like i'm ready i don't i wouldn't know but um i wish i hadmore time of sobriety uh because it's only been like a year and change um but i'm very gratefulthat it happened now and with the person with Elsie because, you know, when in other relationshipsor when I was, you know, I was a drug addict and, you know, very mentally deranged. But, like,that was my goal. Like, I need to have a kid. I need to get married. Like, because that's how I grew up.Like, all my aunts and uncles got married at, like, 21. And they knew, and they knew each othersince grammar school. And, like, they had three kids by 20.six oh that's fire department statin on yeah yeah yeah blue collar meeting a burn unit and
53:15fucking yeah yeah so like a skin grafts and then we're having yeah yeah yeah like every musicvideo like you know um but uh i was so not ready i was not i didn't even know I still don'treally know who I am I think I'm learning but uh I I there's no fucking way that that was possibleum and I almost think that's that's why it didn't happen because I was likeI need to do this.I have to do this.And, um, you know, no one wanted to do that with me.Like, you know, like, you know, but I think I knew that.
53:51And that's why it was like, and then I just, then I just was, I stopped dating and I was like,I need to fucking get better.And I need to like be in a place where I could even have a healthy relationship.And like, if that comes, great.it's like you can't like can't go into stuff with like this I got like that's first of allit's a lot of pressure on your partner it's a lot of pressure on you and you're like kind ofsetting yourself up for failure and it's like you know that was just like my whole upbringing waslike that's how it works so I think it was like kind of backwards for me especially in this

01:01:25Right.Like, I don't, you're part of like a very small group of.people and then i would what really freaked me out was i like i would call sandler or like you know i waslike hey when you you were like young and and sound like i don't know about i never i never really gotthat you know and i'm like oh fuck i'm so alone in this dude and um like when you call the goatsand the big big dogs and they're like i don't fucking so it became a like it got to the point whereI wouldn't go outside and like I would stay inside and then these articles would keepcoming up and like it's always like a source close to people. I'm like, I don't even have
01:02:07friends anymore. I'm like, who are these people? And then it got to a point where I was just like,I'm not doing anything. This is running my life. Whether I am happy or go out or not,this is still going to happen. I might as well like go fucking have fun. Like who the fuckcares. And then what really helped me was I would put someone else's name in the title of thearticle and see if I cared. Yeah. You know, I'd be like, you know, so and so, like Hugh Jackman,so and so, so on. I'm like, oh, I don't really give a fuck. Yeah. You know, but when it's you,you're like, everybody's reading this. Everybody, when they look at me, this is what they think.And it's not true. No one reads that shit. That's the truth, really. No one, literally, no one,
01:02:46literally no one reads that shit except for, like, people in our shit. And the people thatwrite it and the people that still give a fuck about that you're like a bus driver like they justlike want to see you do the thing they like that you do like they want to see you in a movie orthey want like no one's like fucking go no one has time for that but we're in this like bubble whereit's like we think all this shit is like matters well i think that's a scary thing abouthollywood scary thing that always kind of scare me about hollywood and that sort ofenvironment is it feels like they build you up and then they can all it's this cycle rightthey can't wait right and it feels like it's dirty but it's just the most opportune
01:03:21every moment of it.There's a possibility for everything, right?And so it...Yeah, look at Pedro Pascow right now.Fucking two years ago, you know,he's hardworking at great actor.Eddington was great. You see it?Yeah, it's fucking great.
01:03:33Well, Joaquin.And that guy fucking Ari Aster's just fucking...He is good, huh?He's so good.He just makes shit where I'm just like,I would never be able to think like that, you know?But everyone was like,he's worked so hard and, you know,
01:03:47he's been a struggling actor.It fucking blows up so far.fucking hard everyone's like daddy daddy yeah daddy daddy right and then a year later he's like ineverything now because he's hot and big and everyone's like go to fuck away dude it's like yo givehope ice gets pascal yeah it's like what fuck dude it's also just like you got to give someonetime to adjust to that new level of fame like you know he's been banging at it for 30 years andnow he like he he's learning how to go get a cup of coffee orlike deal with someone that like taps you on the shoulder where you have your earbuds in and
01:04:24freaks you out like you gotta give that guy a fucking second to like adjust like you know what I meanand also like what happened they're gonna do it with walton guggins will be next they'll be likewhat the fuck you know it's like we build everybody up and now it's so fast it's like so fastto turn and then yeah the turn is crazy bro it's like within months it's within months whereyou're like what the fuck happen almost timothy huh yeahout here drinking homogenized milk, I've heard.Yeah.They'll be bringing him down soon.
01:04:57Ugh.Even like the, you know, like I know it's different, but like the thing with thatHawk to a girl was so sad.Like I remember just being like, this is sad.Yeah.Like she's not, you know what I mean?What's going on here?She's jerking or something she was kind of hypothetically BJ, BJing a man or something on
01:05:15the interview.And then they got her into a meme coin or something.I was like, what?Yeah.She was, like, this sweet girl that's, like, everyone fell in love with her because, like, she's, like, you know, kind of normal and, like, just cares about pets and everyone's like, this girl's actually cool, you know?Then does, like, one thing that didn't go the way everybody wanted it to.And, like, she doesn't know how to fucking run crypto.Like, I don't even know what fuck.
01:05:38I don't even know what crypto is, dude.Are you kidding?If I can't hold it physically, like, I don't fuck with it.Yeah, dude.And the fact that people were like, yeah, I'm going to.Fuck you.Like this, girl.This is who you're going to.
01:05:49Everything going on in the world.fuck this girl?Are you kidding?Like, leave her alone.Yeah, she had a pretty good blow job recipe, I thought, you know?Yeah.People are just back.I laughed.
01:05:59Yeah.You know?I mean, God.This is the enemy.It's so crazy.It's crazy, dude.But I think it's, I think, as if you can get on the right side of your own self, right,then you can be in control or you can at least have some awareness.
01:06:12And that's where I think, like, the value is these days, is the relationship you can havewith yourself is more important than ever.And just understanding of what's going on, that this is how it is.And so let me be in control of myself and not just at the whims of how do other people feel about it.And just all these little things of, you know, like all these addictive thing.You know, it's like if the more you can get control over yourself, the better chance you have, you know.There's also a party, though, that has to go through it to understand a little bit.Like, you know what I mean?
01:06:44Like, I was also super judgy, like growing up like, fuck that dude.Like, this is an example I love to use.You remember when Christian Bell, like, yelled at that dude on the Terminator set?Yeah.So I was, like, 12 years old when that audio came out.You want me to trash your fucking lights, you know?It's distracting, right?And I remember hearing that and being, I was 12.
01:07:06I was like, what an asshole.Fuck Christian Bell.You're a Batman, dude.You're yelling out like a lighting, dude.Ten years later, I made one movie.I was like, what the fuck did that lighting guy do?Yeah.to make Christian Bale so mad that he even knew who he was.
01:07:26Like, and then you, and then I did some digging,and it's like the guy was in the shot.He was on his phone.And Christian Bale's trying to cry to a Terminator.He's a 35-year-old man trying to cry to a robot.Right.In a bad.These days is easy, but this is 20 years ago.
01:07:42In a bad movie.Like, he's trying to cry halfway through a bad movie.And there's a lighting guy fucking around in a shot.The lighting guys are over there doing these things.Yeah.So it's like he was right.But like the world don't know that because not the world has not made a movie.Yeah.
01:08:02Or like dealt with any of that stuff.There's no way to win, right?There's no way to win the thing where everybody likes you.It's all just a trap, you know?Yeah.And they could smell it on you.And we don't know what people are going through.You don't know what Pristram Bale is going through.
01:08:15Yeah.He's so good.He's unbelievable.It's also just like.like, I remember, you know, before, it sounds shitty to say, but before you're at a certainlevel or in this thing, like, I remember, I just be like, well, that guy's a fucking dick.Like, you see, like, a video of someone being like, hey, can I take a picture of a fucking?And they're like, hey, man, I'm like eating or like, whatever.
01:08:31And it's like, maybe that guy's, like, fighting with someone or like, maybe he's having a bad day.Maybe his grandpa is sick.Or maybe he's just fucking hung over.There's so many, like, think about how you feel every day, you know?So we're just so quick to be like, oh, that guy's a.fucking asshole.It's like maybe he's tired, dude.Maybe he's tired.
01:08:52Yeah.Maybe he has a, maybe he has a back, maybe he's one of those, those things that aresupposed to be working out your abs on.Yeah.Yeah.Maybe he's in the fucking zone, dude.Yeah.Maybe he's locked in, dude.

01:19:45ran.You're like, oh shit.It's Chris Tucker.Dude, that movie is so good.Oh, no, the movie frequency.Have you ever seen it?Jim Caviesel, Dennis Quaid.Yeah.
01:19:55Dude, I got the funny movies.It makes me think of you whenever I see it.Bro, yo, I've been waiting to talk frequencywith someone my entire life.So I love that movie.so much for obvious reasons.But here's what's really funny.2002, that came out of, what,
01:20:1098 or 2000? Right, yeah.Good movie. So it's 2002,and my grandma, for Christmas,got me the frequency VHS or DVD,and she was like, you're going to love this movie.And I watched it, and I was just like,why would she give it to me?Like, it was not a movie at like
01:20:30eight years old six months after my dad diedthat I was, like, prepared to see.But it's literally the Pete Davidson fantasy.Yeah.So, guys, you got to, Jim Caviesel is, uh, is fucking in the present.And he's 30 years old.And his dad's dead.And he was a fireman.
01:20:49And his dad died like 20, 30 years ago or whatever.And, uh, he gets this old CB radio and there's this weird thing going on in the sky.And he just like plugs it in one night because he's sad.And then his dad is on the other side 20 years ago.talk and they talk to each other and they solve a crime and they fucking and he comes back atthe end and he changes the life trajectory and I'm just like oh my god yeah I hope it happensI really dude there's a there's a legit part of me that's like sometimes I'll be on eBayand I'll be like CB radio yeah working working not project working I don't want a project
