Are we on? We're on. We court everything. Oh, so we start. Hey, definitely need it. Hey, let me start. Hey, it starts.

It starts when you walk into room. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I was like, what's she's doing? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey we just, yeah, hey, so we're on. Yeah. Well, maybe I will do it in show this time. Yeah. Because I remember the past I used to do it. But maybe it's weird, that's what you do. Do what you normally do. We don't got to switch it up. The chairs, you were worried about the chair.

That was weird. Listen, if you're going to pick stickers all the time, I'm going to pick. Oh, yeah, this is more interesting than what's going on. I'm going to do it. Oh, so, fuck, I put the stickers. Why are these here, these for me? I don't know why they're there, but that just brought up

a fucking thing that he, so he has a joke about stickers on a laptop. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, you were like at a coffee shop and you have a bit about people stick. I love stickers. What's your beef with stickers? What's your beef with stickers? I have no problem with stickers, but if you're an adult male,

yeah, putting stickers on your laptop. Yeah. Yeah. What does it say about them? Yeah, what does it say? No, there's nothing there. It's lame, it's lame. Oh wait, look, look at that.

Oh, suit guy. That's it. That's it. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. What about that cabinet right there? See that cabinet right there with full of stickers? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Listen, listen. All right. To each his own, you want to put stickers on it. Yeah. I've been in it. It's a laptop. Yeah. It's fine. It's just you're not going to really be in my life. I know. But see, you probably don't like graffiti then.

I could appreciate graffiti. You're not a lot of my wife's an artist. So I'm going to,'m in to art and whatnot. But if Lana snuck out of the house and went to downtown LA and started doing graffiti on the wall, would you say Lana chill? Is graffiti leaked? We don't do anything illegal. That hypothetical.

It is illegal. It's illegal. It's illegal. You've never done anything illegal. I think maybe, I don't think graffiti is illegal. I think like tagging might be illegal. It is illegal. It's illegal. You've never done anything illegal. I think, maybe, I don't think all graffiti is illegal. I think, like, tagging might be illegal. Because if it's good, it's just good. It stays up for a couple of years or however long.

When it's shitty, I feel like that should be illegal only if it's shitty. What if it's positive? Like, you go Francisco and Charlie and a heart. Well, here, to your point, you have a lot of murals in downtown LA. Now, I'm assuming those are legal. You know, the city probably goes. Either the city reaches out to these street artists or you own a building and you,

but to just go and start spray painting on walls and downtown, we just, we don't participate in that that. You do. Yeah. So like you never spoke to weed before it was legal. Uh, there's more weed. I mean, I'm not there. That's, that was before it was legal. Yeah, he did break some laws.

Whoa. Gotcha. Gotcha. There's the gotcha moment dude. You fucking criminal. I thought you were like Al Capone. criminal. You're like Al Capone. What's his name? Al Capone. Is his name his Al Capone or Al Capone?

Do you take notes all show? Yeah, he does. He does. He does. That's what we are. He takes notes of things that I could get trouble for. I really find Al Capone. Okay, so it really is, and I don't know if you're gonna use this

or you were recording when you were talking about podcasts Yeah, but this is an elite Podcast that is making generating revenue, right? Sponsors just stuff going on here. My podcast that I have doesn't have this type of Revenue stream, okay, and it's nice to see how a podcast that's making a nice chunk of change operates. And based on what I'm seeing here, this is easy. I don't wanna tell you though.

I gotta say something though. I think what it is is that because, you have to, because we help each other, and now you're, I guess, because I know Yannis is gonna do yours. So now you're tapping into the thing, and then you will.

I mean, because you're the biggest stand-up comic on the planet Earth. Wait, I have a question. How are you guys friends? You seem like opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of just manners and character and everything Chas Masala. I know we've always been like this. No, no, we've always been like this I met him at the comedy store in 1998. He was working in the door. Yeah, and then he hosted a show

Sandy Sandy shores Sandy. You took a class. I took a class at the comedy store She took a class from Sandy's polish or sister. Yeah, yeah, and then we you know, just what can we talk about the night that is We did that Yeah, go ahead so she then you know, he performed at sick because what you do is Sandy take you take a class from Sandy shore Rest in peace wherever she is and I don't know what she is, you know what I mean? She got Kuku with the aliens and you know, she, Tinfoil hat and she would go in the backyard

and she would call me and go, I'm connecting with the aliens, you know what I mean? Oh, no, no, no, I took the class and that was it. I didn't, we didn't talk. Oh, you know, you seem to be in communication with a lot of people after the thing. I know, I know. And then she would call me and go like,

I need $4,000. Right? And I'd be like, isn't your mom missing sure? Like what the fuck, Paulie, yours is a star. What do you call it anyway? So anyway, you took the class and then at the end of her class, she does like this big showcase, you know what I mean?

In the main room. And one time she goes, can you host it to me? And I go, okay, and that's where I saw Sebastian for the very first time. He was wearing a red, was it red? It was a blue kind of like gas station shirt. Oh guy, I have this set on my first special as a as a bonus feature. It was the kind of like really one of the first times I ever did stand up. It was pretty bad. And he was the host and we over the time just from hanging out at the

comedy store, came friendly. Then we went to the Middle East together with Eric Griffin. And that's where I was introduced to FIFA. Yeah. And, uh, yeah. Are you still playing? No, you don't play FIFA anymore? No. Back is still probably beat. Do you?

No, I played He-Bot, and I thought this was so like, cool. Oh, cool. Yeah, because he was on Mad TV at the time. And I think I was still in the midst of waiting tables, and he just bought like a, what was it, a Sega Genesis system? It was, I think I was still in the midst of waiting tables and he just bought like a What was it a Sega Genesis system? It was I think the Xbox and Xbox you bought an Xbox and I'm like, what's this guy doing? This is unbelievable Must be wealthy and then he just left it in the hotel room. I go you're not gonna take this back to the United States

He was not I'm just what we just just use it for the time we're here. And I'm like, Jesus, this game must be rolling it. Yeah, I remember doing that. And then why do that now? Like, I'll go to a hotel to play video games. Sometimes you bring, if you bring your Xbox or Playstation to a hotel, they block their television. They'll block the thing so they want you to use their entertainment.

So I'll just buy a go buy a flat screen. And you buy a flat screen on the road. their television, they'll block the thing so they want you to use their entertainment. So I'll just buy a go buy a flat screen and you buy a flat screen on the road. And you leave the flat. I don't believe it. Instead of tipping, he'll just give it to the lady who's the right. Oh, here's your key.

Here's your 65 inch plastic. Yeah, yeah, a fascinating. Why, why, why, why? Why? Well, I mean, this is the ins and outs of what you really don't hear about On the road where a woman's gonna come in instead of receiving what do you look at that over here? I just

I just I don't around oh you don't know no I always like that. I just I don't around. Oh you don't. I'm listening. No, no, listen. I'm listening. I get it But what I'm talking to people generally I know I know it's not like I know but because we know it I know you for so long. I just I don't okay Well, I just need to know the behavior of hosts She plays with stickers the whole time. I didn't know that going into the thing. Just be yourself. I am myself Okay Go that, going into the thing. Just be yourself. I am myself. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So give me an example.

When you're in the hotel room, do you tell the housekeeper, this is your TV, or do you leave a note on the screen, how do you do it? I'll take a, sometimes I'll take a, with those yellow post, what do you call them? Post it. Post it. And I'll go, oh, lock, is that racist or? with those yellow post, what do you call them? Post it. Post it. Yeah.

And I'll go, oh, lock, is that racist or? No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah. I'm, you know, gracias, perforvor, I'll say on it and go. Here's your tea, because I don't know the, I don't know about television, this is in the Spanish. Here's a free TV with a remote, it's brand new, it's the curve kind of flat screen.

Oh wow. So it's you buy the curve? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a thousand dollars. I know because when I play Warzone, when I used to play Warzone on the road, I won all of it. I won all of it. You guys never remember the last time we were in Hawaii.

He sent me a Best Buy. Oh, that was the buy TV. The buy his TV? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I'll send people to buy me flat screens. Yeah. So you buy a TV for a grand for four days

Or whatever the time you're there, and you'll leave it behind. That's great. Oh, that's not the only thing I'd leave behind What else do you what else do you leave in the room? Okay, Nutrigena all the face washes Well, yeah, I'll go to CVS and spend a couple hundred dollars and get all the stuff I just don't bring them back with me, but I don't I don't write a note on the Nutrigenma facial wash and go Oh, you can have to say yeah, yeah, yeah, I just assume they take it. So, so, DVD, DVD players, I used to be four streaming. Okay, so when you're done and you check out, it must be like a flea market. Yeah, in the room.

Yeah, 100%. Yeah, 100%. Sometimes clothes, like, something I'll go, I don't like the't like the shirt because what he does is he shops a lot And he does he carries a small little suitcase because he never checks a bag in so he takes some of his older clothes Takes it all leaves it there and then brings back the new stuff. He's shocked That's right, baby, wow new underwear because he never brings underwear on the road so he buys new underwear All the time. Oh socks under I always buy on the road. Yeah. Sometimes I'll forget like a shoe. Like I'll have one shoe in my, you know, thing.

Yeah. So I got a, I only wear golden goose, so I got a, I got a, I got a Google, where are the golden goose? But if I'm in like Lubbock, which I've never played there, but I'm just saying, in an example, they don't have a golden goose or so. You go to the advanced store, you do.

I'll go to the advanced story. So when you travel, you're actually shopping in the city. You're out and about. Wow. You don't shop? No. First of all, first of all, yeah. First of all, yeah.

I see you as a maybe packing as the Uber is waiting for you. Exactly, exactly, exactly. I was just putting it all together. Exactly, exactly. There's no folding. It's just a, wait, it's already folded. Thank you. I have somebody that cleans the house.

My mommy. Her mom cleans my house. And she folds everything. My mom does all his stuff. He does every single woman. Okay, so she packs or you pack? I pack, I don't want to pack. I pack before. No, so she packs are you pack I pack I know what a pack Okay, I pack before

No, but I'm getting I That's not getting it's that's insulting. I know what a fucking pack no, but she It does all the laundry and she folds everything for him to choose from okay. Yeah, I have thousands of t-shirts Thousand thousands of things I know And then I'll look and I'll go, hmm, you know what I mean? Where am I going? So I'll have that thought processes, right? But when you came here today, I literally just woke up. Just before I walked in.

Yeah, I ran down here. So I haven't even had my coffee, so I'm barely even here. I'm barely here, dude. He's been out here. But I'm waking up now, I'm waking up now, though. That's why he was looking for you behind you. Is that what it was? He's seen perfect. Yeah, I go to Sebastian here.

Oh, he's here already. Yeah, yeah, that's what that was. Okay, this is, yeah, yeah. We are, we are total complete opposites. Yeah, point. And the fact that I'm leaving Friday, I'm leaving Friday. Yeah. My suitcase is out already.

Really? Can you pack it yourself? Yeah. Yeah. I pack in stages. Like, I pack people on the wear, make some socks tonight, and I'll start looking. And okay, it might be golf and a couple golf pants. And my Wednesday night, it's sealed,

it's delivered in the garage ready to go. There's some- Yeah, that bothers me. Yeah, I'm gonna get the- It's fucking bothers me. Cause I'm gonna tell you something, buddy. Right? That's some sort of disorder you have.

It could be. Yeah, it's a disorder. It could be. Yeah, yeah. I mean, the way you're like, oh, like remember the shoes? What oh, like, remember the shoes? What shoes? You don't remember the shoes?

Oh, yeah. You remember the shoes? Yeah, well, oh, you, yeah, you told me to get rid of shoes. No. You came to the comedy store. Yeah. This is probably 15 years ago. I don't know how long ago.

How do you know this story? I've told it before. I've told it about it. Yeah, yeah. Many, many times. Right. And there were like, he said, tell your shoes apart.

They're like leather. Yeah. But they had a ninja cut out from the toe to the rest of the fucking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They were, they were probably pretty bad in your opinion, right? But then I go, I'll give you $100. If you throw those away. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't remember if you did it. I didn't, you didn't. I think in the story, I say that you did.

In the story, because I lie. So I lie, so in the story, I say, yeah, you took the 100 and went home barefoot, or whatever. It's a better story that way. It is a better story. It's a funnier story. It's a funnier story.

But the way it did happen, I said, keep your 100. I'm wearing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's the way it happened. When you get to the hotel, do you immediately unpack? Everything's hung and then. Wow. Well, because he has a buttoned fancy soak shit

from fucking France or whatever. No, no, no. They wrinkle, they wrinkle. But this might, this might be where the disorder can extend for me. Okay. My suitcase. Yeah, yeah.

I packed to go home folded, beautiful. So when you open the suitcase, when I come home, yeah, to the naked eye, you wouldn't know if I was coming. That's a disorder. Is it laundered? Is it laundered? No, sometimes if I'm staying longer than expected, I'll clean the clothes where I'm at. But when I do the dirties, I put in the bag that they give you. And I put that in a kind of a separate section

if there's still clean stuff left over. You're just like my mom, so she folds, even she doesn't just throw dirty clothes into the hamper. She folds them perfectly teared into a hamper. That's beautiful. Yeah. So if I go into your hotel, let's see your hotel for like four days.

Yes. On day three, if I walk in your hotel room, would I think to myself, oh, this is a clean room. Yeah, when I check it in. Oh, really? So that's what it looks like. Then the mine looks like an ID went off. No, I've been on the road with you. I know. Yeah. Just talk about, I mean, things against the wall, like a taco on the wall. Like, I don't give a fuck. Yeah, yeah, look, it's a disaster. I don't know how. Am I messy? Like, when we were dating, was I...

Bobby. Yeah, I know just why. How did you date me? I don't know. That's the question. That's the question. Okay, hook, that's the question. Why would you do?

Okay, so my theory is that my mom was so OCD and it drove me mad as a kid. So you represented this kind of freedom of like, I don't give a fuck and I'm just so filthy. And it gave me a sense of relief, but then you went, you took it too far. I took it way too far. Yeah, you took it too far. After a while, I was like, oh, this could be like a hepatitis issue. Oh, no, that's not good.

It became like, yeah. Can we talk? And you can edit this out. But this I feel like other people knew this, about the glue. Can we talk about the glue? What's the, what's the, behind here's a whole bottle shelf of glue.

The whole design is a glue bottle. Wait, wait, glue there, the bottom shelf. But then you put a glue on your hand. Yeah, that's why I have a lot of's why I have glue all over the house. He still does. Okay. What? You're talking.

I got this order. What do you mean? I want, because I packed my luggage. I got it this order. You're making glue on. I never clicked. I never claimed I didn't have it this order. Right?

I just threw it at you. I thought you had one too. You were just worse than yours. Okay. But't have a disorder. Right, I just threw that you had one too. You were just, right, it's worse than yours. But I have a massive disorder. Yeah, what about the glue? Ask me. No, I thought it was like the, about the glue. What do you have a problem with, though? No, I just, I don't know.

Yeah, is that, is that, I don't think that's normal? I don't think that's normal. Yeah, yeah. Anybody in the room here is doing glue puppets and having a month to play. Yeah, right? Yeah, it's not normal, but I'll tell you what it is. I think it's a part of my OCD, you know, thing that I...

You guys have two different varieties of OCD, I'll say. Okay, that's what we're going to do. We have the same. We have the same. One hygienic, one unhygienic it's polar I like Yeah, it's polar one symmetry one asymmetry. Yeah, exactly even clothing Like I look at him at at the commissar come in and I'll go wow Where do you even get that

Listen, I like to dress up even even this shirt I'm like I'm doing his podcast today. I'm gonna, you know, have a button up shirt. And then you're telling me you just roll out of bed. I'm like, it was the fuck. I know. Behind the outfit, it was just whenever the hell you had on. I think it's a point of view in life now.

Right. I think for me, it's like, I cared so much about how people thought of me and looked at me. And I maybe used to do what you're, and then at one point, I'm like, I cared so much about how people thought of me and looked at me. And I maybe used to do what you're, and then at one point, I'm like, I'm not getting laid at all. And I look nice. Like I went to the first store by a button up. I'll get a diesel guy, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I go to diesel, get nice thing, you know me. And I would go, I'm still not getting laid. So it's like, yeah, it wasn't work. I would get the fancy clowns.

And nothing was working. So I went, you know what? I'm going to go the other way. Like I'm homeless. And you know who fucking made me? What was the music producer of the fat guy? Rick. Rick, yeah.

Rick Rubin. Yeah. I saw Rick Rubin at the calm store once, years ago. And I said to another door, man, why is there a homeless man in the OR? Because that's Rick Rubin. And it clicked from me. I go, that's my new look.

Yeah, but what did you say? That's a little bit cringe in like a poverty cosplay kind of way. I love poverty cosplay. I love it. It's on your bio. I love it. Exception. I love looking homeless, but on your bio. I love the deception. I love looking homeless, but like, you know, I mean, having a little...

But it's like so much of LA already does that. Can I say I was the first? Ah, yeah, you might have been. What if I was the first? Okay. Your hair, no, I was looking at your hair. What do you look at? Because you used to have longer hair.

Yeah, I don't have it. Right, and then you kind of cut it. Yeah. And I didn't ask for you to take it. I could, I could, have longer hair. Yeah, I don't have it. Right, and then you kind of cut it. Yeah. And I didn't ask for you to take it. I could, I could sell. Yeah. But even a haircut, right? Okay.

I'm looking at the back. It literally looks like it was, if I do say so myself, I could say it looked like your gardener took a, just took a hatch of jack. Yeah. Is it, is that thought out? Are you cutting your own hair? Yeah, yeah. Can I just say this too? I'm gonna, I'm gonna talk about that Is it, is that thought out? Are you cutting your own hair? Yeah, yeah.

Can I just say this too? Let me take a look at your hair. I'm not saying it's great. Look at what you look. All right. Are you gonna step onto a set right now? No, that's what it looks like. You're mean that you're ready to go.

I'm not ready to go. I just threw my hair back. I'm just saying the technique used to cut the back of your hair doesn't seem like it was done. I should just black-eye it out. Could I just say this though? Maybe I hang out with Theo too much. Oh, is that what it is?

It's a Theo von thing, maybe. I'm hacking from his up. Because we all know. Right. And we were talking about this, and I don't know if you got this on tape or not. All this podcasting is generally done by the same group of guys. Everybody's just shifting around, doing everybody's podcast. So now I feel I said I got some time. Maybe I start reaching out to people and I'm gonna start having some guests. I'm doing these

podcasts. And I have to tell you up until this point we've been doing this for about 25 minutes. Probably having one of the best times I've ever had. Yeah, it's fun. Because generally speaking, I don't really have a connection with these hosts. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you don't, then you go in and you're just another head,

right? Well, my argument to that is this, okay. Not, I'm having a, I'm so glad you came. I'm having a blast. I love you so much. I've always loved you. But, you know, the ones that are on our group, they're all like-minded.

So they all know how to add information in a way where it doesn't seem like you're trying to like grasp. Because I've had, I've had comics on the show that aren't real podcasters, that it's been like pulling teeth. Right. Well, how did you have a history with them? No, see that's what I'm saying.

No, but with the ones that you're doing, like I like y'allness, trust me, you're two hours gonna go by and you're like, where the time go? He's just that good at this medium, you know what I mean? And you know, shouts, all those Distafana, all those New York guys, they know how to do it. And then the ones in LA, like Whitney,

you've done it with Whitney, right? She's great. It just seems, you know, it makes it seem easier because we do have history. And there's so much I wanna talk about. But I think you'll be fine. If you, you know, Yannis is gonna be great. You'll be fine.

Yeah, but I don't have a history with him. You know, like, I don't know the guy. Yeah, I just know him from afar and through the podcasting. Thank you so warm and casual and easy. I love you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's done it all how many times I've ever done it?

Three or three? Three or four times, yeah, he's the best. Yeah, let's go back to the Middle East though. Can we go back to the Middle East? Yeah. Do you? Is this when you had a panic attack because you didn't get a window seat

and you had a middle seat? Same one. Oh yeah. Was that the flight? The flight back home was the one where, um, because there was a promoter that we were friends with, uh, that got us, did you, so do you sit coach on the way back?

Yeah. Okay. Um, so I would, he gave me, he promised me first class there and back. He promised me. class there and back. He promised me. So then when we were there during the tour, we were walking around and he goes, hey, by the way, your coach coming back.

And I go, but that's not, he's like, yeah, I know we didn't make as much money as, you know? So I had middle seat on the way back. And that's how far is that? That's a 17 hour flight. It's a 17 hour flight, middle is a 17 hour flight middle seat couch. Me! Me!

What am I gonna, insane! And Eric had a fucking aisle! Right? Well, Craig, if I'm wrong, isn't this a flight where we all got up and we hung out in the galley for a while, when we all hanging, we standing up, talking, and then... Yeah, we had a galley meeting. Yeah, we had a galley meeting.

Yeah, we had a galley meeting. But what is that 20 minutes? No, I felt like we were up longer than you would normally be up because our seats weren't that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we did do that. I remember that. And that was joyous, but what happened?

It was embarrassing. I go, you know what, I'm gonna spend my own money and I'm gonna buy a first class seat. And my credit card, so I took all my stuff. You guys were in college. I went, I disappeared for a couple of minutes. And I came back and my credit card was denied. I do remember that.

right away, sir, and then they come back, and then they go, sorry, and then the whole plane. They all knew, they have. So I came back and then, and I'm probably gonna go to hell for this, but I went to Eric Griffin and I go, hey, I'll set up a meeting with my manager if I can have the eye.

You know what I mean? You guys really mad? Nice trade. I go, yeah man, and my agents. Really? Yeah. You switched seats. Wow.

I wanna talk about now, your life now. Come on. Can we talk about your life now? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So you just did a movie, you're the star, and Robert DeNiro was your dad. Yeah. Okay.

I mean, that's, what, that's what. Amazing. Like, what would be your comparison to that? Pat Morita, he's dead. Yeah, you can't do it. You can't do it. There's a movie. Maybe Chao Young Fad, but it's not even, it's not even Daenerys level though.

How old has Minseok Choi? Yeah, but people aren't gonna go, you know what I mean, you work with Minseok. Can you say what? It's Pat, Maria. Yeah, but it would be had, guys. Yeah, it would have been Pat Marieta. Sorry, yeah, who's Minseok Choi? That's what I'm saying.

No, no, I just don't know. Yeah, I'm not, He's the old boy. You ever see the movie, old, that see that poster right behind you? This guy? No, that's me. That's me, man. That's you? This guy. No, that's me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, see that poster is that the Cologne days Look at the right old boy. You ever see that movie. You know what I miss about you You always used to give me that's right great recommendations on documentaries movies all that stuff I've never seen that movie. Yeah. No. You have to see that movie. Do you, I, I, I feel like you're gonna say no, but are you a subtitle? I'm not the only time, the only subtitles I watch. Yeah. That I feel like I'm not reading is Narcos. Oh, right, right. Why? I don't know. I feel like I feel like I don't know. Yeah, yeah. You kind of know what's going on just by looking at the look. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you, so you, I watch it. I watch it. It's sort of like our taxi driver. Okay, if you recommend it. If you recommend it. Yeah, well, I recommend it. The billber had a birthday party once

and I gave him a DVD of it and he still raves about it today. Okay, yeah, you're gonna love it. It's long, it's dark. But don't do the remake, the American version, do the Korean version. Josh Brolin. Yes, Spike Lee and Josh Brolin did an old boy American version.

Don't watch that, watch the Korean. Anyway, it makes a choice. It's the star of that one. But like I said, Americans wouldn't know, you know what I mean? It's, you, Denaro is a completely different fucking level. Yeah. I mean, you gotta think, you know what, in the 70s, he was the number one guy.

What about Jackie Chan? How old is he? I'm not gonna roll around and do Kung Fu or whatever, man. I'm like, hey, hey, all day, you know what I mean? You were gonna drama with Jackie Chan. Yeah, I mean, also, I, no, he's not, I don't think it's Denero level though. Gee. He might be Jackie Chan. Okay, maybe Jackie Chan. Yeah, I mean, also, I, no, he's not, I don't think it's Denero level though. Gee. He might be Jackie Chan.

Okay, maybe Jackie Chan. Yeah, anyway, Jackie Chan's not gonna do a movie with me. So fuck it. All right, so let me ask you about it. So you first met Denero in the Scorsese movie. Yeah. The Irishman? Yes, Irishman.

Yeah, yeah. And so when you came up to you the very first time, what did he say? So the very first time I met him was a scene with myself, Denero, and Pesci, and Scorsese was directing it. So, and I remember, you know what it's so funny, because I remember you doing those,

going to New York, for the casting of it. And doing those sessions with the casting director. How long did it take? Well, that was an awful experience for me because when I went into originally do the audition, it was for another character. And they gave me an option. Do you wanna fly to New York

or do you wanna stay here and do a tape? I said, you know what, let me get on a plane, let me get into room with the casting director. I feel like that was gonna be, maybe I win them over in the room, sometimes when you're in the room, you know, you go, yeah, you know that. Yeah, yeah.

So I go in the room and it's going awful. The audition. Now in your head, are you like, I'm bombing? Yeah. Wow. Okay, okay, okay. Because I've been there. You ever do a audition, In your head, are you like, I'm bombing? Yeah. Wow. Oh, okay, okay. Because I've been there. You ever do a audition?

They're like, oh, okay. I'm in the rain. I just had a PTSD experience. Yeah. But prior to that, I do this a lot. I always go, sometimes I'll do an audition. And then look at me go, they'll go, thank you. And you just, you, any grab this time and you just kind of leave.

You think the room like, I think it's, I think it's done. Right? That's when you know it's bad. So you, so you, they were doing that and then, well, I should say before I even started, they're like, you're looking really good for this. Oh, you tell me that it's over. I need to hear negativity.

Yeah, I need to hear it. It's a long shot. Yeah, Marty doesn't know who you are. I need to hear that. Yeah, but they said Marty saw you on a tape. He really loves what you're doing. It loves your comedy. So let's just have fun. You know, and I'm like,. So let's just have fun, you know?

And I'm like, okay, let's just have fun. I'm gonna die. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I did just you and her. Just, and then the camera. And the camera people, yeah, yeah. So I do the thing and she's like, okay, let's, yeah, let's do that again.

I know you just, you know, got here and, you know, so long story short, they were do that again. I know you just got here and, you know, so long story short, they were working with me. And I feel like I'm sweating each take because I know I'm dying a slow duck. And I'm like, this is my shot. I don't know if you're ever, you're not supposed to get in your head on these auditions. You're supposed to be like, okay. okay, you want me to do that way?

Okay, but this is, I'm like, oh my God, this is it. It's my chance. Yeah. Yeah. So I leave and I'm, you know what I got from me? Right. The spit went out, like I lost all so much. It's so unbelievable.

Yeah. To me, like you're playing, you know, I mean, rooms are thousands and thousands of people, right, and you're fine, right? You're in complete control. You know what the fuck you're doing, right? And then all of a sudden, you're in a room with two people and the fucking moisture out of your body evaporates.

It's insane. Anyway, so then what happens? So I leave. Yeah. I'm in New York. I call my agent. I said, listen, it's saying it's going to be good. The call you're going to get. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, I said, I should the bed. It's, it's, it's, it's a, it's a no go. Yeah. Next day, it was, you're right. They called. And they said that it was very inconsistent and they feel like you're not gonna be able to go toe-to-toe with De Niro and Puccino. And but they did offer if you wanted to take some of the notes

and redo it, put it on tape here and send it, they'll be willing to look at it. So I said, I'll do it. I'll do it. So I work with my acting coach, we put it on tape here and send it, they'll be willing to look at it. So I said, I'll do it. I'll do it. So I work on my acting coach, we put it on tape, we sent it in. You're in LA now. Yeah. Yeah. And she's like, this is great. I'm going to send it to Scorsese. So he saw that and he goes, I'm going to offer him a different part and then crazy Joe Gallow. I'm going to give him that part instead of the party originally audition for it. Was the original one bigger? No.

Okay. No, it was maybe a lesser part, lesser lines. Not that it wasn't significant role, but I felt this part suited me better. Right, right, right. So when I'm at the Nero on the first day of set, you know, let's go back with it. You're in New York, you shoot in New York. Yeah, okay.

And you wake up, you're in your hotel. You know you're about to get on set. Are you nervous? No saliva. But I don't know, no saliva. You woke up with no saliva. We're not sleeping. Let me ask you this, we ain't even sleeping.

No. Yeah, exactly. Okay, good. I woke up with no saliva. Let me ask you this, we ain't even sleep. No. Yeah, exactly. Okay, good. I need the details. Yeah, very sporadic sleep. Right. Just, you know, cause you question yourself. Yeah.

Should I be here? Am I good enough? Yeah, yeah. What am I doing? It's so crazy, I love hearing this. Yeah, yeah. It was, it was, it was, I bet you had your lines down though. Well, that was, that was a big thing for me because the lines, and I don't know how you feel

about this at your age, what does that mean? I just feel like the older you get, the harder it is to memorize lines. Yes. Do you find this? Yes. So for me, I had to keep doing lines day off, day off.

I'm rehearsing and rehearsing and rehearsing because I'm like, I ain't gonna be the guy going up against Pechie and De Niro. And I'm gonna be on line and they're gonna go, what did he say? Oh my God, I mean, he didn't prepare for this? Yeah, but also, can I just say this too? It's not as if you did 30 movies before that.

Is this, how many movies had you done before that? I wanna say like three or four. Right, but not this level at all. But the movies I did before this was like, little poppins played a priest, played a comedian, it was nothing to this level. Right, I can't imagine. Multiple days, normally I go in a day.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is six days. Yeah, so you go so now you're you're you're you're you're you're going and then you see the guys you see pitch Pecci I Don't see anybody I come into the room ironically enough the scene is taking place At Gotham comedy club in New York amazing they took which is the first place I did comedy in New York City. Wow. They redid it to make it look like the Copic Abana. Wow. And it's the time, at the time they were managing you too,

right or no? The Zillies were the man. Yeah, I think they were. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they owned the comedy club too, so he probably felt extra comfortable there. I felt comfortable there, but I felt uncomfortable because who was in the room?

I mean, Scorsese comes out and we're waiting for Pescian De Niro to come. You know, so I'm the first one there. Right? Right? I'm not one of these guys. You got to knock twice on the trailer door. You knock, I'm out.

You know, you're right. You're not like I'm sleeping. Yeah. Yeah, I'm out. You know, you're right. You're like, I'm sleeping. Yeah. Yeah. I'm ready. Yeah. So I come to set, they come and the narrow comes up to me and goes, um, you're doing, you're doing good things.

And I was like, ah, this is nice. Whatever. I don't know if they told him to say it. Just tell them that. But it was nice. No one tells him what to say. All right. Hey, Bobby, make sure nice. Whatever. I don't know if they told him to say it. Just tell them that, but it was nice. No one tells him what to say. All right. Hey, Bobby, make sure you say these things. There's no way.

Let's go ahead. Pass, she was really nice. Hey, how you doing? My name's Joe, I'm Sebastian. It's a Scorsese. He just was very happy. I felt like right away, I'm like, oh, OK. Because sometimes I think in your head,

you make it more than what it's going to be. And when I got there, I felt very comfortable. However, I also felt an immense amount of pressure because I've never done this before at this level with this type of talent. So we do the first scene and I'm like, they're like, cut and I'm like, and then this has got weird. I'm like, they're a cut and I'm like, and then this has got weird.

I'm like, yeah. Cut. Scorsese comes out, Denero, him and Pesci are in a huddle. Where's your hand? I'm not in the huddle. We got to get in the huddle. You have to get in the huddle. Would you?

You're the team. Okay, if you were doing that, yeah, would you walk over to the huddle and go, it was going okay. No, what I would do is they for a huddle is a wall, right? But there are gaps in the wall. Are there not gaps in walls? I would stuck my head in between a gap.

You would, you would, you would, yeah. I would have cut in there somehow. A hand, you know what I mean? Something. This is what it would be like. It would be like, it would be like this. Oh, so yeah, I want to cut in there somehow a hand. You know me something This would be like it would be like it'd be like this cut and I turned to you to Would you come over to The hand gesture yeah, he didn't call you over. No, oh, they're gonna go over. You don't go over Yeah, you don't go over. Yeah, he's gonna call you over you don't go over. He's got to call you over, yeah. Yeah, he's the captain of the football team. Yeah, there was no call like that.

Yeah, yeah. Okay. So in my head, I'm thinking, it's over. Oh my God, why not do this here? We all do that, I do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's over, they're trying to figure out. How to edit, can we get another guy any?

Oh, wow. Oh my God. Wow, wow, wow, wow, I love it, I love it. Yeah, how long's the huddle? Let me just tell you, or are they talking about what are we gonna do tonight? You're like, I don't know if you don't know. You don't know.

Yeah, I don't know. You don't know. Because I don't know how, they know they've been doing this together for 30, 40 years together. Yeah, yeah. So I feel like they have a shorthand with you to, okay, so they break the huddle. All right, we're gonna do it again. Scorsese with you to okay, so they break the huddle all right

We're gonna do it again. Scorsese comes up to me. He's like you know what you want to try Why don't you try this one you do that said okay? But in a nice way not not like you did anything wrong right right right So there's there's a point in the scene where I referenced Joe Pesci's lapel. It has a pin on it from the Italian Joe Pesci's lapel, it has a pin on it from the Italian, I forget it was an Italian organization. And my character don't like the pin. Yeah. So I flick the lapel.

What do you get this sentence for? Does it supposed to be a cocky asshole on this whole thing? So I do this two or three times. And Catherine Narducci, who is the actress playing his wife, who I know says, Joe's getting a little angry, oh, that you're flicking the thing. What?

Is it in the script? No, I'm a script. Oh, so you improvise the flicker? Yeah, I was improvising the flicker. You don't improvise the flick, man. That's the room, that's the room. Am I there? No, I want to script. Oh, so you improvised? Yeah, I was improvised. You don't improvised flicks, man. That's the room. That's the room. Am I there?

No, I is the number one. That's the first thing. You don't fucking improvised, right? Flicks slapped punches. You don't improvise, though. What the fuck is it going on in your mind, my friend? It was just a choice. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Don't make it bad choice. Bad choice. That's Joe Petchi. You can flick, you know what? If you were not doing a movie, I would pick, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey't know, like, and again, I don't know if they were scheming with me or what, or just to get the best performance, because he's going to get angry later on in the scene, and this is definitely propelling it to go there. Wow. And then, Pesh, he starts giving me pointers on how to behave with the narrow in the scene.

Is everyone pranking you? Yeah, what is going on? I don't the narrow in the scene. Is everyone pranking you? Yeah, what is going on? I don't know what's going on. I don't know. It's insane. Yeah, so Pesh, he takes a almost a directorial role in the one, you gotta get the narrow pissed off because he's gonna kill you in the next scene

and you need to, you know, so he's giving me, and I'm like, oh wow, this is a lot going on. At this point, I'm going, I just need to do stand. And then the wardrobe comes up and gives you acting now. I think you should do this with your shoe. You're like, it's enough. It's enough. Yeah, so actors are giving you notes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's not just any actors yeah. Yeah, so actors are giving you notes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's not just any actors. You know, it's like, Joe Petri, yeah. Joe Petri's telling you to do something. Right. You know, you do it. And was it conflicting,

was that note conflicting with Scorsese's note? No, at this point, Scorsese is not even coming out of it. There's like a black drape where Scorsese is. And he's not even. Video village. Yeah, he's not even coming out. He's kind of letting this all happen. And I get, I don't know what's being said

or if he's telling Joe to do this or what have you. Long story short, it was like an intense six day acting lesson for me, being around these guys. And I didn't leave the second one. Bob, call me. Wow. Being around these guys. Wow. And I didn't leave, I didn't leave the set going. Bob, call me next week. We'll do dinner. It wasn't like that relationship. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He then, the Neuro came, I think six months later to see me do a show in New York City. He came back. I remember the photo. Yeah. Yeah. And even then, we didn't really talk a lot. So how would you say good job? It came back and he, to me,

I mean, that's why you came backstage and he was really involved. What? With eating. He was just, oh, we had a lot of food back here. Yeah, yeah, just eating a lot. I love that. Well, I love it.

Yeah. Comfortable, comfortable. Like he's at home. Yeah, I love it. But also, I love it. I love it. Comfortable. Comfortable. Like he's at home. Yeah. I love it. But also, I make you comfortable when you come back.

There's a lot of hospitality. I used to work for the four seasons hotel. So I'm really cognizant about if you ever come back stage, really kind of facilitating a nice, hospitable experience. You know, I felt whenever, because sometimes you all party and you invite me and I'll come, I feel that. No, I felt whenever because sometimes you all parties and you'll invite me and I'll come yeah, I feel that no I don't think you do

I tell you why Go ahead and I know if this is what he generally does, but he comes for a very small portion of time, but here's how you know I'm comfortable. I came. Ah! Ah! Ah!

Touche. I think the last time we both went to your house, I think you were only there for 20 minutes. Exactly, but at the twix. But what a twix, it's quality, not quantity. But is that? 20 minutes would joyous? Okay, but is that your move?

Yeah. Because he, okay, so. We go to see his house, the singer. But why is there for like 30 minutes? I think it's because he feels as though he stays any longer, he's gonna make a grave mistake, he cannot. I'll burn the bridge. I'll burn the bridge.

I'll burn the bridge. My career's over at 30, yeah. 20 minutes above, my career can end. Yeah, like I keep it 20 minutes. So that's your move. You came to my wedding for around 20 minutes. That's not true. I'll tell you how I know.

I fucking took a photo of the actual, whatever, when you guys get together. Sarah, the ceremony. The hope. What's the Hopa? It was what we got married on earth. Yeah, you were in the Hopa and I'll tell you why I know it's been there more than 20 minutes

because just getting there with the angels and the trumpet players and all the shit that you had it was like a Lord of the Rings fucking adventure. It was like, it took four hours to get up there. And then when I got there, I remember, dude, I'm telling you, number one, the best wedding I've ever been to. Thank you, but I don't think you've been to a wedding before that.

Or since. It's that, except the best one still. Yeah, I kept it. Still the best one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I remember getting emotional. That was, you did a speech, because I'd never seen you emotional.

Yeah. You have one emotion You know me which is I'm going that way I'm going that I don't even know if that's an emotion, but I'm going that way You know me and and so when I saw you get vulnerable like that I it just It's like when my dad cried for the first time. I want to see my dad cry once I got emotional because you think oh He is a human being. Yeah.

Right, so when you got emotional, I got emotional. That was a really cool thing to witness. Yeah, I did get emotional during the vows, but what I was referring to is afterwards at the party. Yeah. Cause I think you drove up, and it's not, just seven hours, six hours. You drove up what day of, yeah, day of. And think you drove up. And it's not, just seven hours, six hours.

You drove up what day of. Yeah, day of. And then you drove back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that was, that was like unheard of. Like I never, six hours, six hours, I was like 12 hours, 12 hours. And one day.

But think about who I would do that for. I could count on a hand right now, who I'd do it, if Judd Apertown, I would drive 10 hours. I mean, there's a distance, right? But if it was like, like, yoursy. We have a comic at the store, yoursy, and maybe five minutes I'd drive for him. Okay, so that was the long. I get it. I get it. Yeah, I appreciate you came.

I just, I was flabbergasted when we were at the party and I turned to Mike Yago, was Bobby and he goes, he left. I go, was he feeling? No, he went back to Los Angeles. Yeah. Yeah. It was, it was, I to Los Angeles. Yeah. Yeah. It was, I appreciate you coming.

Yeah. There's not, it was a great experience. We haven't had a social. I think the last time we went out that was really a significant time was on Holly, on Sunset Boulevard, on the corner, is a Chinese place, east of Fairfax, west of LaBrea. You took me there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You remember it?

Yeah. You remember the place? No. I don't even remember us eating there. I just said, yeah, it's just for the fucking thing. Could you restore it? I don't remember that. Okay.

Yeah. That was the only time we actually hung out. That's not true. That's absolutely not true. Okay, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, I mean, first of all, going to your house is not hanging out for your little parties. You literally said, hey, what's going on? Yeah, but we still lock eyes and we communicate.

Yeah, but we didn't even, we had dinner together at the, oh, all right, all right. Okay, yeah, yeah, I guess that, yeah. We had a lunch, remember the lunch thing I showed up at. What's the lunch thing? So, Seinfeld had a lunch thing, a benefit, his wife had a benefit. And I was, I remember you being there

and you came by the table and said hi. Oh, this is when you left, because you were upset that his wife kept calling you Robbie. No, Billy. Or Billy. Yeah. Seinfeld's wife kept calling you Robbie. No Billy. Or Billy. Yeah. Seinfeld's wife kept calling me Billy. And I got an idea.

You didn't have it in you to cry. And I don't know anybody. And I'm like, oh my god, I can't believe all these people are here. Like Seinfeld's there, right? So I looked at Joe Dabatown and I go, I gotta go. I gotta go. And I just took off because you call me Billy four times.

And I think correct her. And Joe, why is she calling you Billy? I go correct her. I go none. Have I not changed though? Well, that's because I'm like Barbie. No, I'm medication. Yes, he is a little bit better now about social interactions. I will say that. Is there a medication you take for you to stay places?

Yeah. Oh, wow. It's work for his ADHD. Yeah, because now when I take the medication, I'm actually listening to what you're saying. Are you on it now? Yeah, yeah, okay. Why? Well, no, because I feel like I don't see that much of a difference. I know what's the dose. I know, but I know. No, but the thing is that normally, no, I'm just, no, but, the thing is that, normally, I wouldn't be hearing what you're saying.

Got it. Right. And now, everything that you're saying, 80% of it is like, it gets in here. And he replies to text messages, though. He never used to. I never used to. Yeah, he used to be really bad with that.

Terrible. So, when I'm talking, or Yeah, you know, you used to be really bad with that. Terrible. And so when I'm talking or when somebody is talking, yeah, what are you doing? I'm going, thinking about, well, I'm probably thinking about a video game I'm playing that day. So right now, I would probably think about Elden Ring. Well, someone's talking. Yeah, because there's a boss on there that I've, for two months, I'm not kidding you.

I've been playing the hardest game ever fucking made by the way. And there's a fucking boss on there where every time I go, I go, today's the day. And I leveled up on my fucking magic. And I'm just gonna run faster and magic and hide behind this pillar or whatever. Kills me, so that's what I would be thinking about. Okay, but when you're playing that game,

are you thinking about- I think about you. I'm thinking thinking about. Okay, but when you're playing that game, are you thinking about? I think about you. I'm thinking about you. No, I think about something else. But now I think I listen to all of it. Yeah. Oh good. Yeah, because it's like,

I want to listen and I want to get involved. People's like, I think it's just because I just, you know, I had a weird upbringing and I just get scared, man, you know, I get scared. And now I wanna know and I wanna feel and I wanna do all those things. That's good, I'm making a turn. Okay, so back to D'Nero.

Can we go back to D'Nero? So after the movie is done, you feel good about it? After the movie is done. Six days. Yeah, I feel like it was in great hands. So if it wasn't, if he wasn't getting what he wanted, I felt like we would have definitely still been there. So I felt like Scorsese kind of knows.

So I felt good, and the only reason I felt good about it, and this is something that I always wanted to do in a movie, and I always wanted to wear sunglasses in a movie. And I got to do that in this movie. I just feel sunglasses in a movie regardless. It's dope. It's almost like you can't go wrong, right? Yeah, because I can't see your eyes.

Yeah, you can't see that. You don't have to act that much. You don't have to act that much. You don't have to do it to your mouth. You got me, whatever, yeah, yeah. You can act from the eyes down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Eyes down, so.

Because the eyes is everything in acting. Yes. And also, there's this, also because there's usually, there's never a situation, I've been in a million things, and never in the script said he's wearing sunglasses. You're right. I've never done it. So that's cool that you were able to do that. Yeah. Is that one that that scene where was that that the committee? Yeah. The committee. Yeah. Yeah. So I walked

in with the sunglasses and I got to wear them inside. So amazing. Because he did. Yeah. Joe Gala, who's a real guy, actually wore the sunglassesets inside how many people were on that set that day That was massive. I can only imagine that's why I started to see oh this is filmmaking Yeah, yeah stuff I was doing before I mean it was it was filming this is this is like yeah Yeah, yeah, a lot of money behind this. Oh, yeah, yeah, it's unbelievable, dude. So then you do, now you're, the movie that you were just, you just did, how did you get, you, you, you had the balls, do you call Robert De Niro directly?

Didn't have his phone number. That's what I'm saying. There was not a relationship there where we call him a little pop. Wanna play my dad? It wasn't that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This kind of, we wrote it, someone who was a producer on our movie, New De Niro, Paul Weitz got him the script, he read it,

then we got feedback, he likes it. Oh, no, because I didn't think this was even in the cards. Right. But he wants to read it out loud with actors in New York City. Oh my God, I just like, I got goosebumps. He wants to hear it, he wants to hear it off the page. A goosebumps. So we go to New York.

Yeah. I meet him again, and this is in the middle of COVID. We're all six feet away, whatever. We're reading the script. It's amazing. And I thought in my head, I'm like, oh, he's just going to stand up, and he's going to go, uh, I'm gonna rip. That means. And I thought in my head, I'm like, oh, he's just gonna stand up and he's gonna go, I'm good to, I'm good, I wanna do it or yeah, I like it. Not for me, yeah.

He got up and he goes, I don't know. Was there an audience? I mean, how many people in the room? Including the actors, I'd say, I don't know, 20. So there was enough people in there where you can, people would laugh. People would laugh, there's people on Zoom. But I went up to home after and he said, go on.

I know, let's go. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he doesn't really share a lot. Yeah. And I'll see you, I'll see you. Oh my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he doesn't really yeah, share a lot. Yeah, and I'll see you see you. Oh my god. Well, are you know, are you nervous at all? Well, I asked my manager I said Judy's you know, no, no, we'll we'll we'll we'll get with him later and whatnot. Yeah, yeah, so a couple days later He's like, yeah, I'm in and I'm like this is the same happening And my dad don't believe it. Nobody believes it.

Wow. Until he summons my father to Oklahoma because he wants to study my dad. Oh my god. So, my dad, I'm about to cry. I'm about to cry. Because he's my, he's method. Yeah.

Because when he did taxi driver, didn't he, wasn't a cab driver for like four weeks, just to get ready. Yeah. So it is something that he would do. Yeah. Wow. But I didn't think, I just didn't think this was gonna, I think it's insane. It's insane.

It's absolutely insane. It's crazy. You've been disciplined, yeah. Yeah. So, and you call your dad at it, what was he like? I said, Dad, you gotta go to Oakland. Now, my dad, I live in Chicago. He's 76 at the time. He's still working as a hairdresser in Chicago.

Oh wow. So, I said, Dad, the Neural wants to hang out with you in Oklahoma where he's shooting a movie. And my dad's like, oh, how many days? I said, I don't know, I said two or three days. I gotta move my appointments. I'm worried about, I don't lose and die, Josh. Yeah, so, yeah.

But was he excited at all? He's nervous. I bet he was nervous. He's nervous. I bet it was, yeah. He's nervous. He's going to hang out with Robert the Nero guy that we watched growing up our whole life. Yeah. And he goes and he's in there for four hours with him.

Because I go, you had to call me after. I need to know what's- Oh, so you're not even there? No, I'm in LA. He's in Oklahoma. Wow. He comes comes out he goes jeez this guy's working me to that really I thought I was gonna hang out with him a couple out yeah and and this guy wants to see me tomorrow so yeah so he spends all this time with the narrow and the narrow

Want them to come to set to teach him how to do highlights Because you know, there's a scene in the salon so my dad's on set with me and again as I look back I go this this was never in the cards I mean when I met you in 1998 at the comedy store I never would have thought Robert the Nero and my dad would be on the set together. No. And we're doing a movie loosely based on my life.

It just, it wasn't, oh my God. It's doing highlights. Doing highlights. Doing highlights. Yeah. But I always say, when you take risks like that, you don't know what is in store for you. But when you take big risks and you walk through big fear,

the world is open to you and anything can happen. I mean, I literally, when I started in San Diego, I had never had a bank account, no money. I just walked off the show, I was in La Jolla and I just saw help wanted sign at the comedy store. I knocked on the door, I got a job there as a washing dish, it's like bar back.

And then now I have this great life, you know what I mean? But it's like, I, and I remember being so scared, the very first time doing stand-up. You know how scary that is, right? You're pacing, you know the moisture thing, you know what I mean? But you, I just, that's the only thing in my life I kept doing is that one thing, you know what I mean? And that one scary thing I did just opened up this whole thing. I love, I is that, one thing, you know what I mean? And that one scary thing I did,

just opened up this whole thing. I've been all over the world, you know what I mean? It's been amazing. So that's just one another example of that. It's an incredible dude, it's fucking incredible. You don't know where it's gonna take you. No. Side note?

Yeah. Am I? A-ha- hot in here? You got hot. You got hot. All right. You put it on there? No, no, no, no. Put on the thing. Yeah.

Put on the thing, man. No, sometimes when I get, when I start sweating, I don't know if it's a temperature thing or we've reached a point in a conversation where I'm overheating. Oh, I always second guess the heat in my body too. I'm like, am I having a panic attack? Or is it just hot in here? Okay, yeah, here. Let's talk about sweating.

Yeah. Do you eat meat? Come on, fuck you, man. Well, yes, he does. Yes, I do. Are we gonna talk about meat sweats? Yeah. Yeah, I eat meat.

I'm a man, dude. Okay, wait a minute. Yes, I do. Are we going to talk about meat sweats? Yeah. Yeah, I eat meat. I'm a man, dude. Okay, we eat the meat. I recently started sweating after eating meat. After I think 45, we're going to be 50 in two weeks. After 45, I got a bed. I woke up at two o'clock in the morning, drenched. Yeah, meat sweats.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't even know that was a thing. Oh, I get meat sweats. I've been getting meat sweats. Yeah, you know, I didn't even know that was a thing. Oh, I get meat sweats. I've been getting meat sweats my whole life, especially if I don't leave four hours before eating meat and going to bed. Yeah, other veggies. And my heart starts to raise.

Yeah, it's uncomfortable. Yeah, are there veggies sweats? Noodle sweats? No, why, do you get them? I get veggies sweats. I get veggies sweats. I get eat broccoli. Yeah, I start, no.

So how do you know it's the meat doing it? I could just, I mean, like, if I have a steak, and if I go to bed two hours after the steak, I start sweating. Wow. And if I have fish or any other food chicken, or pasta, maybe I get like a pasta sweat here and there. Yeah.

Yeah. So I start sweating. And like, when this just happened, I'm like a pasta sweat here and there. Yeah. That's why when this just happened, I'm like, am I having a, am I buying? Or do you get hot in the garage? No, not in the garage, right? Yes, it's the garage. It's the garage studio. It's a studio garage. Well, it's a studio. But the best thing are there places or situations

or social gatherings where you wouldn't take Bobby as your guest. Oh. But let's oppose a dinner with Scorsese and the big guys. I'm not coming. I'm not coming. It's not coming.

Not because I got a problem with Bobby because he's gonna leave in 20 minutes. He's not gonna stay. But you don't do well in that. Let me tell you something. I just did a movie a couple 20 minutes. He's not gonna stay. But you don't do well in that, so you can be free. Let me tell you something, let me tell you something. I just did a movie a couple of years ago. It's not out yet, where it was Kate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, all these people aren't it.

And it was during COVID, so we had to quarantine at the four seasons in Budapest, Hungary, right, for two months, right? So every night, I have to eat all the, with the all these people. Okay. You have Kevin Hart, everyone's there. You know what I mean?

Who else is in the movie? Jack Black, Edward Rivera, Miro's, all these people. And I learned how to do it. So, you know, I'm not listening to them, but in my mind, I'm like, I think that was a joke Kate just said. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Like I've learned how to do it. He's laughing. Oh, I'm saying you're psychopathic. I just don't add information.

I don't do my jokes, my jokes are so fucking weird. So people think I'm just kind of like this little nice kid. It wasn't there in time when like there was an Asian direct, you kept standing up in the middle of dinner and he like pushed you back to the streets. Oh yeah, before medication. Before medication. No, he couldn't fit still.

No, that's not what happened. I did a movie with Michelle Yow You know that is no, yeah, yeah, yo, she's in that new what's everything? Everyone all I want yeah, yeah, I was crouching tiger hidden drag I don't watch movies So I it doesn't I don't know Okay, she like yeah, look she looks a man. Yeah I don't know What do you mean? Okay, she looks amazing.

Yeah That's not a good photo, get a better photo. What's the rich face? It was a crazy rich face. So years ago I did a movie with her. That's her, right? And we get invited to a dinner, the Thai Royal... Because it was in Thailand.

So the Thai Royal family, the president of Samsung, Michelle Yao, and me. And I had one cool t-shirt that I got, and half of it was ripped, so you can see my left breast. So they wouldn't even let me in the restaurant, right? But then I go, I'm in the movie. And then they went to get the producer, producers, like, what do you, you know what I mean? I go, this is fucking from some fancy design or whatever.

So I sit there with Michelle Yao and the president and the type world family. And I'm uncomfortable, bro. But the side tables were all the assistants and younger people. So you know, I told Michelle Yala joke. I don't think she liked it. What was the joke? Tell us about it. The joke was, um, so after dinner, you should teach me, because he never saw the movie. Okay. Yeah. But he did, she did a movie called Crouching Tiger Hidden Drag. Yeah. Where there's a lot of wire work. Stunts, a lot of big stunts. Like big stunts, they're running on rooftops and trees,

hopping on trees. So I go, you know, after dinner, you should teach me how to run on trees and stuff. And she goes, it was wire walk. What? Wire work. Like I didn't know, it was wire work. Like I didn't know.

So I was like, oh, fuck, that joke didn't work. So I left the table and I sat with the young assistants and people. And I had a great time laughing. But meanwhile, one of the producers is looking at me and he's looking at me from the main table. He gets up, he grabs my arm and goes, you're being a rude and he drag me back to the main table. So I had to sit back down, you know what I mean? Yeah, so you don't know.

What do you mean you don't know? Why can't I get up?, so you don't know. What do you mean you don't know? Why can't I get up? Why can't I get up? What do you mean I don't know? No, no, no, no. Ha, ha, ha. Well, just like general social graces of kind of how things might operate.

Yeah, I learned. I learned to do it. So I took that situation. And then when I was in Budapest with the other fancy people, I go, you know what, wear the nice shirt, shut your mouth, and stay there. And I learned how to do it. I went to a synagogue with these people.

On a Sunday, I had to wake up early and because Jamie Lee Curtis's dad, Tony Curtis, had opened up a synagogue in Budapest. I don't even know what a synagogue is. But they put the little hat on me, and I woke up at seven in the morning, and I sat there with everybody, and I did all the Shalom Shalums,

and then I did it all, and I stayed there for the whole time. So I've learned to do it because I wanna work in the business. All right. You know what I mean? I'm sexy in the city. I, you know, when Sarah Jessica Parkers,

all my scenes are with her, so when she's talking to me, I don't know what she's saying, but I'm there. Are you there? Are you? I don't know what she's saying about wine or whatever, what vineyard I go to, but I go, I don't know, I'm here.

She throws a question in that. She goes, well, hey, Bobby, what kind of wine do you like? Do you go? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my God. And then I go, what you go? Yeah. Yeah. Oh my God. And then I go, what was it? Well, there's your wine. Oh, I'm in AA.

Or I'll say I'm in AA. I'll be honest. But mostly what I do now is when she's always like reading something, and it's always her and I in the cashews. And I just kind of just go I play candy class Yeah, because I don't want to fuck it up, you know, I mean, yeah, I don't want to fuck my life up So um number one that was An unbelievable podcast

Yeah, it's over. Yeah See when he put the when he puts the ghosts see that little ghost right there He put that up and that means we've done it That's that's how they do it. Yeah, well that's how we do it. That's our light. That's our light. That's your light. Yeah, he slowly puts that on there.

I can see my periphery. Okay, so just before we leave, do you have a certain time limit that these podcasts that you like them to be? Or do you look at what's going on and go this? It's so fucking great question. It's so fucking stupid what you're doing. What you're doing right now, your mind is like,

do you like you bad? No, no, no, no, no. This is the best one we've done in so long. So you killed it. Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I'm making this up. This is a good one because Bobby usually keeps staring at me to put the ghost on.

Oh, okay. So I use this as a matter. Yeah, I go. Yeah, yeah. Where's the girl? He does this usually. Yeah, go go go. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, I didn't even look. I didn't even see him put it up there. This is just lit him now. Hey, you've got an hour. You can go another hour if you want. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good.

But so, do you want to plug some things? But so do you want to plug some things? Yeah, so for those, your audience who... Right there, that's your camera. Yeah, yeah. I would guess it's a podcast audience, right? Generous. Let me say something about my audience, my friend. They're an army, they love me, and when I tell them to do stuff, they do it.

Okay. So you just say whatever you need to say when you're a little Italian head. No, no. That's very nice. First of all, thank you for having me on. Again, I don't do a lot of these and the reason I don't do a lot of these is because I generally don't have a relationship with the people that I'm doing it with.

So it tends to be a little, it's a struggle. But since we have a history, I felt like, oh yeah, we have a lot to talk about. Well, how do you feel about it? This? This last hour. He's got more. He's got more.

We could have done a lot more, but I want to save it. No, no, no, no. You're doing it again next year. You're doing it again next year. I was hoping in three months. But yeah, I do have a podcast with Pete Corielli. It's called The Pete and Sebastian Show. And we also have another podcast called

Daddy versus Doctor. I'm a father to kids. And it's generally about child rearing and pediatrics and what I have with a hint of humor. So that's what's going on with my life right now. Other than that, So, that's what's going on with my life right now. Other than that, what do you mean? I was on iTunes in a day and your movie is there.

Can you plug that? Well, my movie was in the theaters. It is called About My Father. Not that. That's okay. This is on Netflix called, is it me, it's my latest stand-up comedy special? And about my father is coming out,

there you go. It's on Amazon right now. And I got a TV show coming out with Chuck Laurie called, Bookie, how to be a bookie? Wow. I play a bookie in Los Angeles. Is it single camera or three camera?

Single camera. Amazing. And how many have you done so far? We finished all eight. So we're just waiting for it to come out now. And what is it a network or streaming? It's max. Amazing.

With Chuck Laurie. That I'm really looking forward to. Oh my god, it's fucking amazing. I didn't even know about that. Yeah. And then also, I just want to say this, because I was, you know, you had a sitcom on, my audition was so terrible. I'm so sorry. I wasn't prepared

Remember to sitcom you were on the pilot you did you called me out I went in there. It was a bad audition. I'm so sorry. Wait you guys play. Yeah, I was bad I do And I remember complaining about it afterwards. I'm trying to figure out what the hell we brought you in for I don't know what the part was. It was the part. I don't know. There were squirrels in the lot.

I don't know what it is. But what I'm saying is that I just remember, no, because when I was in the lobby, Tony Rock was there, all these comics were there, and it fucked me up, because we were doing grab ass in there. We didn't physically grab each other's, but we're just like, hey, fuck up, you know what I mean? We're just fucking around in there.

And then almost an, I'll probably, I don't know what they called my name. And then I lost all my lines. And when I walked in, then I saw you there. I didn't think you were gonna fucking be there. And then when you were in there, and I felt like the audition was fucking terrible. So I'm sorry about it.

It's okay, you don't remember it. I don't remember it. I had all completely wiped out of my memory. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I would just attribute it to, you probably just got up. Yeah. And you can be auditioned.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Also that lot, was it Radford? Yeah. Radford. Nothing ever good happens in the day. No. It's a nightmare. Those bungalows, Fuck those bungalows.

Bungalow. Yeah, go to an office, man. You got to go to a bungalow. You perform better in like a high rise. Yeah, then a bungalow. Yes. I like the ones where it's like a hallway, and I'm just sitting there,
