I'm on my finally tour and come check me out.
You're near a city.
I have a graphic novel out called Bobby Lee Deadweight.
It's on Guddner.com, also available on an Amazon.
So what I like to say up front is maybe we should start with a prayer.
I love that.
Yeah, yeah.
And secondly, I want to open up by saying that I saw you at a restaurant once.
This is probably late
2010
The height of the Tim and Eric show
And I was too nervous to say anything
Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah
What restaurant?
It was somewhere in Los Pheles
In that area, you know me
We're all the cool people
And it was so cool
Is it just me?
I think you were with Eric as well
Oh, yeah
Yeah, back when we had
We would eat together, yeah
We didn't know anybody else
As friends too, as friends do, yeah, yeah
And but yeah, I've been a
fan and I um you were in bridesmaids sure he's gonna go all your credits yeah no
no I'm gonna do all of them I'm not gonna do all of them but the last one the latest one is is
that um office hours with Tim Heidecker you know I mean and where can we see that
uh YouTube and everywhere wherever your show is yeah what do you mean patreon.com slash office
hours a lot hey I know that yeah yeah yeah we have a lot of things in common then
I'm sure we were both
interested in humor
What kind of food
I think we should start out with a fucking prayer
Yes
I think everyone should do a verse
You know what I mean
And I'm not particularly religious
Okay
Are you? No
I was raised Catholic
You were
I could sing one of my favorite songs
From church
Oh which one is it
I was raised Catholic
I the Lord of
sea and sky.
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin,
my hand will save.
White Catholic.
You're looking at me, like,
I'm supposed to kick in and...
Is it I, Lord?
I've never heard of it before.
It's a good one.
Filipino churches didn't have that specific one,
but I like it.
Yeah. Well, Koreans, we had that version.
Do you have a lot of Catholics in Korea?
Same melody.
Hanganguita he.
Hananim.
What's Hananim mean?
Hananim means God.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All that other stuff was just made up.
Because I don't know Korean that well.
But I know Hananim, which is God.
You know what I mean?
And Hananim.
Hanam.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
With an Am at the end.
Yeah.
And there's just a little tidbit that I found out last night.
There's a place called Homo Hill in Korea.
It's the gay area.
But anyway, let's move on.
I just found that out last night.
Where? Where is it? I'm sorry.
You went to Homo Hill?
Yes, I did.
Yeah, yeah. What were you doing?
Praying?
Hanging out.
Wrestling with his bros?
Yeah, we're just hanging out.
Dropping water bottles.
Dear Lord, I'll start.
You want to go this way?
I went.
Oh, we're all saying.
Oh, you already did the song.
Oh, you went.
That's the.
I'm not going to do it again.
I didn't ask you the same.
Whoa.
First of all.
I like His word.
I know, yeah, but that's not a prayer.
That's a song.
No, a hymn?
Is it him a prayer?
I would think it's a, right.
It's not technically a prayer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you want to come back to me, I'm happy to do it.
Whatever fills the time.
Wait, wait.
You know what, dude?
We're going to go as long as we can.
Okay.
We're going to break a record tonight.
Four hours.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, dear Lord, Heavenly Father.
thank you so much for the food
and please help
what food? Where's the food?
In general.
Yeah, we eat in general.
Your surplus upstairs.
Yeah, I have surplus food upstairs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can you not interrupt my fucking prayers, lady?
What the fuck are you doing?
Yeah, we both had questions.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dear Lord, Heavenly Father, our Savior,
thank you so much for friendship
and being able to,
express myself on the internet the way I do. Thank you for
Tim Heidecker for being here. I'm a big fan. Thank you for the ocean
and all the life that lives in it. Even the
all the varieties of sharks they have. They have the Greenland shark that
lives for like 500 years. Thank you for that. You know what I mean?
And thank you for can I ask you a question real quick?
In the middle of a... No, no, this is a good... Is it a good friend?
Yeah, yeah. I'm going to keep thinking. My mom's still being a line.
Right? Thank you for my mom still being alive.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
I had a colonoscopy.
Thank you, Lord, and I have no polyps, and I have no cancer in my butthole.
Let's go.
Which is a good thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It can be elsewhere, but just so you know, that's not a full clear.
Clear of.
You could have cancer somewhere else.
You could have cancer somewhere else.
Just so you know, that doesn't, it's not checking at all.
One area.
Oh, no.
I mean, you know.
We felt good, though.
It felt good.
We pray that you don't have it anywhere else.
Yeah, yeah, we pray that we have, yeah.
Thank you for that information, by the way.
Okay.
And also thank you for, let's hope that we can get out of this war.
But there's no off ramp.
There's no off ramp.
And, you know, we got to, we're fucked.
Okay, go ahead.
Oh, it's.
Yeah, we go around the circle.
Thank you, Lord, for my son and my son only.

Amen.

that Jesus come, thy will be.
Thy kingdom come.
kingdom come that will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us his day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
That's a Catholic right there.
There you go.
Deliver us now from evil and now until the temptation and deliver us from evil.
Yeah.
I'll go, let's move on.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Very good.
Let's clap.
That's good.
We did it for, and I think this is going to go very well.
I think it's going to go very well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Amen.
Congratulations on Infow Wars.
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you're the creative director.
Apparently.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, you don't have to,
because we don't want to give spoilers.
But what's the direction do you think you're going to take it?
We're looking at it,
a direct competitor to Zillow.
I don't know if you're from it.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love that angle.
I love that really good angle, dude.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Acquiring red fin.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or built.
Built.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Apartments.com.
We're talking to Jeff Goldblum right now.
This is really good.
Yeah, good direction.
Yeah.
No, we're gonna like event,
you know,
we're gonna goof around on Alex for a little while.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then,
we're gonna just try to turn into
like a comedy streaming site,
you know, for good shit.
Yeah.
That we like.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, because it doesn't really exist right now.
There's, you know, there's a few places.
There's, yeah.
But there used to be a lot of places.
There used to be adult swim.
Yes.
Have you turned on Comedy Central lately?
I mean, it is just,
It's the office reruns.
I don't even know how to even get on to Comedy Center.
Yeah, yeah.
Where do you find that?
I don't even need cable.
It's on cable.
It's on cable.
Oh, is that on the internet strictly,
or can you watch it?
Does Comedy Central still have a platform?
Yes.
They do.
It's just the office.
It's the office.
Futurama or something.
Yeah, they used to do Mad TV all the time.
They bought the rides for a while.
You know what?
Yeah, yeah, but that's what Comedy Central.
It's like Me TV for Conval.
Well, it's also, you know, it's corporate.
You know, there's notes.
Corporate.
I hate corporate.
Anything corporate.
Well, I mean, because with corporations involved, there's notes.
Yes.
And there's like, you know what I mean?
You can't do that.
And it's like, I just think that that, you know, stifles comedy in a certain way.
But there is like, I mean, from my experience at Adult Swim for many years, there was, that was a corporation.
But there was like, it was a small group of people that really cared, that really had great sensibility that I wanted to get notes from.
because they were really good.
Yeah.
And I'm hoping I can be that for some people.
Yeah.
Or just be encouraging and experimental and try stuff
and give people some money and see what happens.
Yeah.
Can I play Kim Jong-un in anything?
You're on our short list, yeah.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
If you were to cast Kim Jong-U-un, right,
what is the list?
I want to know the list.
Oh, I see.
I just mean you're on our general short list.
Oh, to play same thing.
Of talent.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, so you don't have like a list of like, well, number one is Jimmy O Yang,
number two is Ronnie Chang and number three is Bobby Lee.
It is a short list, but you're not a fuck.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I've always been like, you know what I mean, the short list for everything, but I'm always fifth.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Four people have to say no for me to get it.
And have you done him before?
Have you done him?
I played his dad.
Yes, back when he was alive.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I did ill.
Oh, yeah.
I did ill.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wouldn't it'll be difficult.
I think they even had Margaret do Oon before you.
Yeah.
Or like an award show one time.
Yeah.
But in that specific situation, they asked me to audition.
And I said, I wouldn't audition because I had already done ill.
They should know.
Yeah.
So I did ill on TV.
So I'm like, I'm pretty much going to do ill for Oon.
Yeah.
Right.
I don't think you're going to get a lot of customer complaints.
You didn't do it right.
You didn't do it right.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I felt like I just watch the TV and see me do ill,
but they're like, no, they gave it to Margaret.
Would you wear a fat suit?
I do everything I can.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Even a bigger one, you know what I mean, as if he, you know,
ate his daughter or whatever.
That's, like, let me cut that out.
Isn't she next in line?
She's next in line, and she, he adores her,
which is what I like, it's like him.
I like him, too.
He's sad.
Yeah.
Yeah, because he feels, I feel like he's alone.
Well, he's got Trump.
They seem to get along.
You don't hear much about that anymore.
Yeah.
You don't.
Well, you know, I heard that Trump, when he goes to Beijing, which probably will never happen.
But he, I heard that he wants to see ill.
I'm un, too.
Right, right.
Yeah, yeah.
But maybe that reunion may or may not happen.
You know what I mean?
But I feel like...
He's got a lot on his plate.
Who does?
Trump.
Yeah, too much, I think.
Yeah, maybe.
I think he's doing a great job.
Yeah, you do?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
One thing, ballroom?
Ballroom we need.
We need.
That's the first thing I thought.
Yeah, bulletproof ballroom.
Where is the ballroom?
Yeah, where is it?
I've always looked at the building.
That needs a ballroom.
Well, you know what?
Or a dome.
If that's the logic, then he has to stay in the ballroom,
like a gorilla in a cage.
Oh, yeah.
He can't leave.
He can't leave.
If he leaves, he's going to be killed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or like one of those Vegas domes.
Yes.
That'd be fun.
Yeah.
Or like a Truman show thing.
Like a Truman show thing.
Yeah.
Oh, me build a world for him.
Oh, dude.
That's what we should have done from the beginning.
Yes.
You see that house in Vegas, that's like a 1970s bunker?
No.
That's like lit the way the outside would be lit.
Like, can you pull it up, Gild?
I feel like maybe.
Are you trying to freak us out or what?
No, it freaks me out because I'm claustrophobic and I hate artificial lights.
Oh, so when you're there, it feels like you're above ground, but it's all screen?
Exactly. So it's made to like mimic outside as if you were living above ground.
Oh, I saw it's a whole community, right?
It's a whole like huge thing. Yeah, I've seen that.
By the way, I just want to say sympathy and love to all the people that work behind the scenes on podcasts when people say, can you look that thing up and they use very little information?
And this guy's over here looking up random words, 70s, Vegas.
I'm so sorry.
Bunker, Las Vegas.
I got it, I got it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You have it, right?
You know frantic he looks.
There's a lot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you're asking it just like,
should bring that to me.
That's not what we're talking about.
No, that's not it.
That's not it.
Yeah, yeah.
Get in my brain and put up what I'm thinking about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You don't know, dude?
I can help him.
The Venetian walkway.
No, that's not it.
Yes, it is.
No, it's not.
That's in the Vegas hotel.
This is someone who actually built an underground bunker.
There's an underground bunker.
It's a home.
It's a full-blown home.
And there's not just a home.
Can I, may I interrupt?
Yes.
It's a city.
It's a city.
Right?
Oh, it's a city.
And it's an experiment supposedly, it's a conspiracy theory that they built a city underground.
I didn't hear it was in Vegas.
I don't know why we were talking about.
We built this city.
We built this underground.
Yeah.
Who sang that song?
Starship.
Exactly.
Anyway, great band.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I missed Tina Turner for some reason.
What?
I've been learned. I just have been missing Tina Turner.
You know her,
this is insane, by the way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What is this?
That wouldn't fool you for two seconds.
Going completely crazy right away.
Yeah, it's crazy right away.
Is this the one with a pool and everything?
Yeah, I saw a pool.
Yeah.
And it's underground.
That's underground.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know why you would bring this up in the middle of.
I'm sure it came from somewhere.
Well, you were talking about ballroom and, you know, thing.
A Truman show.
Oh, a Truman show type of thing.
you so much, Tim, for even getting me back on track.
You're welcome.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You need a contained world where he can't exit, right?
Yeah.
So, why did the Tim and Eric show end?
Whoa, we just got serious.
Yeah, yeah.
It was it like a Beatles breakup?
No, no.
I was just texting with Eric today.
And what happened?
Let's see.
Well, we stopped awesome show because we wanted to make the movie,
which became a billion-dollar movie.
Yeah.
And we made that, and then we made...
another show called Bedtime Stories, and that ran its course.
Everything just runs its course, you know.
Yeah, yeah.
We don't want to like, you know, bore everything into the ground, if that's the right word for it.
But we get antsy and restless.
And yeah, and I think we did another show after that called Beef House, which we did six
episodes of, the fake sitcom.
Yeah.
And then they decided not to make more of that.
So it was a little bit decided by, you know, the networks.
and then we tried to pitch a couple things that didn't happen.
And then Eric and I each got busy with our own projects.
And life.
And life happens.
Yeah.
You know, just, you know, we have some plans for stuff in the future, but we'll see.
Yeah.
Because it's a...

Built,
Built, built,
Built. I love it, man.
Built started out rewarding members on their
rent. Now, if you pay rent and you're not
using built, you're out of control.
Well, housing is so expensive.
Rent, mortgage, whatever it is.
It doesn't matter, which is why paying stings, at least for me, every month.
Like a B.
Built members can also earn points on mortgage payments wherever they live.
Every housing payment earns you points you can use toward flights with top travel partners like United.
And Hayat.
Hayat.
Yeah. Lift rides, Amazon.com purchases, and so much more.
Personally, I redeem my points for lift rides.

People spend the night at my house like, oh my God, I slept

A study that they ran found that
82% of those involved saw
an increase in their deep sleep cycle
with sleeping on a Helix mattress.

over five years now and it
is still
perfect as the first day.
Me too.
Let me see. And it's so easy.
You just take a quiz. You take the
Helix quiz online and they match you with a mattress
based on the type of sleeper that you are.
Like, for instance, me, I am a side sleeper
and I run really hot, so I got matched with the midnight.
Helix is the best mattress on planet Earth.

Draft Kings Casiz
Yeah
Because it's a
It's a legendary show
You know
Honestly
When I was on Matt TV
And I always looked at your show
And I wish it was more like that
You know
It wasn't concurrent
Was it concurrent?
What is concurrent?
Like at the same time
At the same time
Well I mean
We ended in 2008
Oh okay
So it was
Yeah yeah yeah
So, yeah, I was aware of it and watching it, and I was like, you know, I just, it was more my type of comedy, York show.
Yeah.
Whereas I was playing Connie Chung and things that I didn't want to do.
You know what?
One of the first people, like the first people I met out here before even, I think before I even moved here, because we kind of became, got some success through Bob Oden Kirk.
I love Bob.
And Bob was the first person to see us and believe in us and push us.
But the other person that I was just a fan of
from the Christopher Guest movies was Michael Hitchcock.
He is one of my best buddies in the whole world.
And so I wrote him like a fan,
and he was like, well, if you're going to be in L.A.,
we kept in touch, and then we came out to L.A. to visit Bob,
and he invited me to a mad TV taping.
Wow.
But it was very weird because I don't think,
he didn't know how to help me at the time,
and I didn't know what, I don't know, it was just this weird,
like, so how was your flight?
Oh, right, right.
It was a little awkward.
We had lunch and everything.
But yeah, he let us come to a taping.
I don't know.
I can't say if you were there, but it would have been 2004.
No, I was probably there.
But, yeah, yeah.
Well, Hitchcock was kind of a producer.
If you watch the guest Christopher Guess movies, he's in all of them?
I'm sure he's in all of them.
Definitely.
The big ones.
Best in show, definitely started waiting for government.
He's got the braces.
Yeah, very funny.
And then waiting for government, he's in it.
Korki!
Korki!
That moment is like one of the most important comedy moments.
I think so too.
And when he's welling up watching, you know what I mean?
It's so fucking funny.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
His desire for him, you know what I mean?
Yes.
But he can't come out because, you know, you got to fallout.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, yeah, Hitchcock, in fact, after Matt TV,
I got a Comedy Central deal and he was my showrunner.
Wow.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's great.
Well, I'll tell him I said hello.
Yeah, I will, yeah.
He is, to me, and he's, you know what?
I love about Hitchcock.
Am I boring you?
No, why are you saying that?
And we're not talking about Alfred Hitchcock.
Most times that people say,
you know what I love about Hitchcock?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But we're also very big fans of Alfred Hitchcock.
Sure, yeah, I mean.
Christopher Gassman Fies are my favorite.
You know this.
Did you meet Michael?
No, I never did.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow, that's interesting.
Well, and then it, well, this is very boring,
but the other show I do on cinema,
which you should be watching.
Why should I be watching?
Well, because it's the best thing ever.
Oh, okay.
And some guys,
back, you're nodding a little bit, but
you'll love it. Who is nodding?
You were? Do you know about cinema?
Yeah. What is it?
It's the greatest. It's films. What do you mean?
Okay. No, well, it's just type in on cinema with Tim Heidecker or something like that.
But me and Greg Turkington, who you know from as Neil Hamburger.
Yes.
We've been doing this for 12, almost like concurrent with Tim and Eric.
You know Neil Hamburger? He's like one of my closest friends.
Well, now you're playing the first.
first episode of On Cinema at the Cinema.
This doesn't look familiar to you.
Oh, it does, for sure. It does.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And
what, I forgot,
you watch movies and you
review them? Essentially, yes,
but it's much deeper than that.
Is there
conspiracies and stuff and like what you're...
It's a soap opera. It's a saga
of these two characters who
genuinely, and
generally hate each other.
Like Siskel-Lieber. Like Siskel-N-Ever.
They hated each other.
They really?
Oh my God.
Do you see like, have you ever seen them talk between takes and stuff?
No, I just, I was too young.
Type in the trial of Tim Heidecker and this is, this is like if you start watching the show from the beginning, about halfway through the series, you get to what you're about, what you're about to see.
Okay.
It is a murder trial that my character's on that plays out pretty much in real time.
Okay, okay.
And you'll love it.
But anyway, I don't know why.
I can't wait to watch it.
I don't know why I brought it up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I can watch it on the YouTube.
Yes, about five years ago, yeah, just skip to the middle of this or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, it's, that's me.
Yeah.
It's five hours long.
Yeah, and do you play yourself?
Do you play yourself?
Well, I am, it's my same name.
It's my name.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Definitely not me.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a joy.
Yeah, it's a joy.
Yeah, is there a joy.
There is a jury?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You never see them because that's how you would.
Are these all the people you killed?
That's right, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, also you're a serial killer.
I know, I'm not a serial killer.
I ran a music festival and handed out
a vape pens that were poisonous.
Accidentally.
Classic.
There's Greg in the background.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eating popcorn.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, enjoying it.
That's great.
Yeah, how long does it take you to tape, all that?
This was about two and a half days.
Yeah.
Out there in Santa Monica
and decommissioned.
courthouse.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like,
did you produce it
yourself?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it was produced
for Adult Swim.
Oh,
it was.
But about five years ago,
we made our own
streaming network
called the High Network,
H-E-I Network,
and it's all behind the paywall now.
Yeah.
So fans support the show that way.
Oh, that's amazing.
It's great.
Wow.
Yeah, because me and Andrew,
I don't know if you know.
Andrew.
Yeah, I did his show.
Yeah, he told me,
and him and I produced
our own show,
and we're just going to put it on our YouTube.
Great.
I think that's kind of the direction
that...
Yeah, I mean, that's...
You can do that.
Hopefully with Infowars,
we can provide some guidance there,
not for, you know, for whoever.
I need guidance.
Or you, you know.
Do I feel like...
I didn't mean to say that...
Does it look like I need guidance?
Probably.
Okay.
And so, you know,
please guide me.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think,
because Ben, the CEO,
said something like,
asked him to,
that he's our...
What is it?
He said,
uh,
yes,
you can be our new,
one of our new correspondents is what essentially he said.
Who, me?
Yeah.
Are you even real?
Well, that's what he said.
I don't know.
It's a long road to get there.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Let me just, can I, because I love, I would do it.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, do you, like, you want to just do this on YouTube?
Or do you want to have, like, the curated sort of patina of it being on Info Wars, is the question?
That's what I want to do.
I want to be a correspondent.
Maybe I'll just do news from Asia.
That sounds great.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
News from Asia.
Yeah, yeah.
From Hollywood.
From Hollywood, though.
Yeah, from Hollywood.
News of Asia.
Yeah, and maybe Ken Jung and I could be both.
Okay.
Or something like that, you know what I mean?
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's circle back, as we say in the business.
Yeah.
You know, usually in the business, when they say circle back,
or they say you're in the mix or they, we pinned you,
means you're not going to get the job.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I don't feel like this is going to happen.
It might not.
It might not.
Well, you say that.
No, I'm just, I don't like to do business deals on air.
Oh, is that what you're thinking?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I like to lock it in air.
Yeah, well, let's-
So the fans go, oh, there's a verbal agreement.
Right, I'm not making any commitments, right.
Oh, oh, not at all.
No.
But I wield so much power, I have to be careful.
I understand that you wield a lot of power, but can I ask you this, though, right?
What does your heart say?
I would love, you seem like a fun guy to work with.
Yes.
Yeah.
I'm gonna have to do a lot of research and talk to these days.
Okay, but let me just, can I, like, do a job interview?
No, I'd rather not.
Yes, at some point, not.
No, but right now.
Because you don't have to see yes or no.
I could just tell you my qualifications.
I know your qualifications.
You're mad TV and then whatever else.
I'm not sure.
The comedy store.
I see your name on the comedy store a lot.
I was in the city.
Okay.
I would lead with that.
Reservation dogs?
Res dogs.
Yeah, I was in the movie The Day.
I've done films.
Right.
I mean, I've done many TV shows.
Hawaii 5-0.
Hawaii 5-0 or Magnum P.I.
You know what I mean?
As a reoccurring on that show.
Yeah, it would be a...
I'm not done.
I'm not fucking done, dude.
All right?
Number one, I'm punctual.
You know, I'm not like Tim Dillon
where it's like, I'm going to show up
and he doesn't show up.
How about me?
I was 10 minutes early.
And already you showed your qualifications
for being a really, coming back,
to this show. Yeah, a tycoon. A tycoon.
Number two, right, I'm very nice to
staff and everybody. Right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And also number three,
I'm, I can take notes.
Good, that's good, that's important. I can take notes.
He's also properly medicated. I'm properly medicated.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're on psychoactive medication?
Lexapro.
Lexopro? Okay, yeah, yeah. And ADHD.
And ADHD.
Please focus. Laser focus.
I'm laser focused.
I'm very impressed.
Yeah, yeah.
And he doesn't have cancer yet.
I don't have colon cancer.
That's huge.
Which is a huge thing.
You're in therapy.
I'm in therapy, psychiatrist.
Do you have any vices?
What are your vices?
I've been four years sober.
Oh.
Is that California sober or what?
Real sober.
Real sober.
Why'd you go, oh?
No, I was like vices, but then, you know, the pee.
You drink pee?
No, no, no.
Porn?
Yeah, I think porn.
No porn.
Porn is, oh.
It's been three months.
Oh, wow.
I'm also in a relationship now.
You're in a relationship.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
Three months?
Yeah.
That's incredible.
Congrats.
So what's up with the P?
That was the, that was.
I wouldn't have a problem with it either way.
See, I don't even think that was even a question.
I also don't think porn is a disqualifier.
If you're applying to Shik, Chick, Chick-fil-A.
Shik Filet.
All right.
Shik filet.
Yeah.
And they're not going to go, do you watch porn?
If you're, you don't mean?
The question, I mean, listen.
You know the chick-fil-A?
Chick-fil-A.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you know the hiring methods of that?
No.
Well, they are very, very Christian.
I guess the porn makes sense.
And yeah.
Okay.
Listen, it's a very, you're very, you're, it's a very impressive interview.
And the question will be, do you have it?
Oh.
You have it.
Do I have it?
And I don't know.
I don't know.
We'll find out.
We'll have to talk about.
No, no, no.
Let me say this.
Okay.
Let me say this.
All right.
Yeah.
And I don't want to brag.
All right.
When you said it, it kind of made me defensive a little bit.
Yeah.
Okay.
So when I do, I would have done pilots and.
I knew the monkey was going to come up.
Yeah.
I knew the monkey story.
I'm not bringing up the monkey.
Okay.
You might be.
Monkey and baby, yeah.
So I did a network television.
show with a monkey.
Okay.
What was it called?
It was called animal practice.
Can you look it up, please?
Yeah.
Is that the one with Joel McHale?
It sounds like a Joel.
It sounds like a Joel.
But this was a sick of.
Zoom in.
Go go go to the monkey.
Oh my God.
There you are with the mustache.
Yeah, there I am with the mustache.
And the bow tie.
And the bow tie, right?
So I play a veterinarian.
Okay.
And see the monkey there?
I tested as good as the monkey.
I knew you're going to say that.
Who's the guy?
in the right, who's the lead? He's from
Weeds. Okay. Justin. Justin.
Kirk, yeah. Has he
done this? Okay. We should have him on.
Tyler Labien.
Who's the woman all the way in the back?
Betsy. Betsy Sedaro. She's from UCB.
Anyway. How many episodes did that show last?
A year. Yeah, yeah. They said
it was the worst show ever made.
I want to watch it.
Yeah, but you know who the producers
were? Oh, that's right.
Lord and Miller.
I hope it was.
No, it's the Russo Brothers.
Well, it was close almost.
From Avengers and all that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What network was it on?
NBC.
NBC.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow.
We thought it was going to be
the next Seinfeld.
Yeah.
You know, you're doing the pilot.
Is there a laugh track?
It's single camera.
Okay, so no laugh track.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, yeah, so anyway, so I test well.
And so it, I think, you know.
You got it.
Yeah, I think I do.
Your monkey level it.
Yeah, yeah.
A monkey level.
it and
you know
I think I'm fairly
likable I think I have
Star Quality
I do
I hear that
yeah yeah yeah
but still
we'll talk about it
what you
circle back
we'll circle back
we'll circle back
yeah
and probably
we're just launching
we have lots of
when you see
circle back
is that a year
too
do you can you
I would say
by fall
so I'm gonna get
I'm gonna get
I'm gonna get
the rejection
and fall
yeah
I wouldn't be
prepared
when I hear the
know
I mean
we do not have
You're not going to, we don't have a, the offer, should there be an offer, should there be an offer.
Nice work, Bobby, nice work.
Should there be an offer, it's not going to be something that's going to change things dramatically for you.
So let's just, I'm not offering.
Well, here's another thing.
I'm not offering NBC money.
Okay, the last thing I want to say too, all right, which is the most important factor of it all, right, is I would do it for free.
Wow.
That's, that, that's, like, literally I don't need it.
So it's like, I want to do it because I'm a fan.
and I believe in it.
You know what I mean?
So it's like I would do it for free.
Good.
So, you know.
Yeah.
It's not about the money.
Also, that was a verbal agreement, what you just did.
And it's a verbal agreement I stand by today and in fall.
Wow.
Wow.
Okay.
And also, I'm going to tell you another thing, too, just last night.
If you try to get the guy from Shangxi, what's that guy's name?
Seamu.
Simuloo or any of those other Asians, right?
Yeah.
They're going to be charging thousands and thousands of them.
We have allotted one Asian for this whole project, so it's going to be you with somebody else.
I know.
but the free versus...
I like the free.
I like the free.
Free with it.
Right. It.
Well, let's table this.
Another good term.
Another great term.
Okay, let's table it.
Yeah.
All right, let's move on from it then.
Good idea.
But congratulations on it.
Yeah, yeah.
And thanks for thinking of me.
No further comments.
Yeah, yeah.
I always say that after a job, I go,
thanks for thinking of me.
With every shoot did I do?
Yeah.
It is true, you know, out of all the people in the world.
In the world that they could have asked.
You know what I mean?
I always just go at the end.
I always do a little speech now.
You know, do you ever do a speech?
No.
Yeah, what I do now, I just did a show for Netflix.
I did two episodes.
And I'm not allowed to say what it is because I signed an NDA.
What is it?
I don't think he knows what the NDA.
You know what NDA is?
No, because I never signed it.
Guess.
what an NDA
closure agreement
That's it
Yeah
Why would you
Because he knows what that means
I know what it means
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
You don't need to listen to it
Just say it
Okay so anyway
What can you do?
Who's the star
Can you
Believe it out?
Yeah of course
No I'm not even gonna do that
I don't even
I mean I don't care
But anyway
They said oh
That's a season wrap for Bobby
And then now what I do
Now I've been doing this
every time
I do a long speech.
Oh, no.
You like it?
I don't think Tim likes it.
No, people want to get back to work.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Uh-huh.
The grips are standing there.
Yeah, no, no, no, no, go.
Give me a break.
I go.
I'm being the grip.
I'm pretending to be one of the guys in the first.
I know, but see, here's what you don't know a guy.
Okay.
And I don't know if that offends you, chief.
But hey, captain, I'm going to do this, okay?
I've already.
befriended the grip. I go around the whole thing. I try to memorize everyone's name.
Oh wow. And we go, good job. I don't know even what they do. Right. Sometimes they're
just holding something, I go, doing a great job. Yeah. I mean, because I'm just preparing for
the speech. Right. Right. So they, so you have them on your side. I have them on my side,
you know what I mean? And I do a pretty long speech. What's long? 12 minutes? No, you don't.
10 to 12 minutes. It's not. Yeah, it might feel that way for everybody.
All right, five minutes.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but I try to go as long as I can.
To the point where people are, like, dropping things.
And are they laughing because it's a funny speech?
They start laughing when it becomes long.
Right, right.
Okay, so it's a conceptual bit.
It's a conceptual bit that I do, right?
And then I start going into, like, you know what I mean,
the structure of the buildings.
You know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
Again, they want to go home.
Yeah, yeah, and how comfortable the white van is.
Right.
You know what I mean?
And also the camaraderie in the white van.
Well, it sounds like fun for you.
Listen.
That's very true.
All right, so everyone's in agreement
that what I'm doing is not good.
I think so.
I mean, if you told us you had a 30-second
genuinely appreciative speech to the crew,
then that's fine.
That seems like a very earnest thing to do.
But if it's a conceptual bit about length,
These people have lives
and they want to just return to them.
And you're prohibiting that at a very
basic level. He does this thing
too where... Now you can't even look at.
At the hotel.
I can't look at anybody in the room right now.
When he stays in a hotel,
one of his favorite games to play
is he likes to drive
around a roundabout. So he gets the car from the valet.
And then
you take a lap around
the little roundabout. Then he sees
the valet guy. And I'll wait.
And he does that.
20 times.
Just round and round and circle.
He's not alone in the car.
I'm in the car.
Oh my God.
Yeah, yeah.
And then she goes, we have dinner reservation.
Yeah.
I have to do five more.
I like that.
The valet guy's got nothing else going on.
He's amused by the whole thing, I think.
I pulled a prank the other day.
I don't know if you, let me ask you if this was okay or not.
If you would be mad.
Right.
Okay.
So I'm on tour.
And I have a tour manager.
Yeah.
As one does.
Sure.
Yeah.
And so I put him in coach.
That's not the prank.
Fair enough.
Yeah, but that's fair enough, right?
So we had an hour and a half wait time at LAX.
Now, we had to fly to Detroit.
And because of the time difference, right, I'm hungry and there's dinner reservations.
Okay.
Right.
So if you're an hour and a half on the tarmac, right?
You're obviously arriving Detroit late.
Yeah.
Right.
And the restaurant's going to close.
Yeah.
So I hear an announcement we land in Detroit.
All right, so for those who have a connection,
you know this one?
Yeah.
Everyone that doesn't have a connection,
if this is where you're landing,
sit down while, you know what I mean?
The connection people can get off, right?
So I text Carlos, I go pretend you have a connection.
Yeah.
So that we can just, because I'm in first class.
Yeah.
Sorry.
I understand.
Yeah, yeah.
And we get to go together.
Yeah.
Right.
So Carlos goes, I have a connection.
have a connection and he goes and then once he gets to the front of the thing I tell this
oh my god he doesn't have a connection no yeah and they go what and one of the guys goes what the
fuck I don't know what he was doing he doesn't have a connection this is where we're going and he just
cut in line right and then we came and I get in a fight the flight the flight attendant yeah right so me and
Carlos that might, you know what, get in a little
screaming fight.
Like, he's the one that tested me!
You know what I mean? To come and we get into this fight
on front, you know what I mean? What do you think of that
prank?
To what end, though? Because you want to get off-up, you want to get to
this dinner reservation. Yeah, I'd rather have that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's pretty funny, though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would rather
have that kind of... I like, I just was on a plane
with some crew people and
a guy I was working with, and
I was, this isn't as dramatic as
that, but I like making a big deal about
stuff for his, you know, to annoy him or to embarrass him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was like, can't find my glasses.
I mean, hold on, they're in here, wait a minute,
they're in my bag, you know, I'm just like making a show.
You do the same kind of trickery as I do.
It's fun, yeah.
You're a trickster.
Yeah.
Yeah, as well as I.
Absolutely.
Yeah, yeah.
So fall.
But not to the, yes, fall, we'll be talking.
Yeah, yeah, we'll be talking fall.
Yeah, we're both tricksters in that way.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you do tricks?
No.
Yeah, you're not a trickster.
You're not even good at improv.
I don't even jaywalk.
You know, I'm just like a rule follower.
I was beat as a kid.
I don't do that stuff.
And I apologize, are you a stand-up comedian?
No.
What do you do then?
What is this?
So her and I were dating for 10 years.
Yeah.
Okay.
And we started this podcast.
How long ago?
Over 10 years?
Oh, over 10 years ago.
Right?
Then we broke up.
Okay.
And then she met somebody else and she has a baby with somebody else.
Oh, okay.
But we still do this.
What?
I was like, I don't know if you want to know all this.
I'm about the end.
I apologize.
She has a baby.
No, there's no drama.
I apologize for not knowing the lore of the show.
It's okay.
Yeah, yeah, that's the lore.
And we do this together.
Yeah.
He just, I don't know how.
He showed up here.
Yeah, what's the, homie?
What's up, man?
He's a stand-up.
He's a stand-up comedian.
Okay, seem like a funny guy.
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I like your eyebrows today.
Oh, thanks.
Very spockish.
I got them.
You got the work done on him?
Yeah.
Threaded?
Thread, yes, that's the word.
Really?
Oh, yeah, I can tell.
Thank you.
Oh, you're welcome.
How much it cost you?
I don't know.
Yeah.
I didn't pay for it.
Okay.
What do you mean you didn't pay for it?
What did?
Your mom?
Your girlfriend?
Yeah, so.
It's like 50 bucks, I think.
Wow.
Well, you had your girlfriend do your eyebrows.
No, 50.
Well, I haven't got paid yet, so like, I told her I'll pay a baby.
Wait a minute.
What?
I thought you're taking care of your crew here.
Well.
It's going in the, it's going on the, it's going on the,
the performance
it is
the performance
about how about
he doesn't send an invoice
he hasn't sent an invoice
okay
oh yeah
you didn't send an invoice
I can't pay
wait for the 15th
well then wait for the 15th
okay and then you'll send it in
it's the 29th
yeah
that might be a high-lay problem
I think it's just
you problem
yeah why can't you send an invoice
I'll send them
soon
yeah yeah
send it and you'll send it
and you'll get paid.
That's how it works.
Free threading is telling me.
I brow threading is not $50.
Oh, I don't know.
My girlfriend's, her family's rich.
Way less.
Your girlfriend's rich.
Her family's rich.
Oh, okay.
Oh, yeah.
They own two funeral homes.
Oh, yes.
Funeral home is a big money.
Cemetery.
Is that big money?
Oh, huge.
My death is forever.
It is?
Yeah, that's like an ever-free business.
It's a business.
Are you scared of it?
Death?
Yeah.
Just.
Yeah.
Sometimes.
I'm 50.
Are you...
I'm 54.
Yeah.
So I think it hits you like...
At 50.
A little before for me.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's just like every once in a while you think about, oh no.
Yeah.
This is actually going to happen.
I know.
It's actually going to happen.
It's actually going to happen to me.
Yeah.
It's got to happen to you too as well.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's a real, it's a real, it feels like a real raw deal.
It's a raw deal.
And, you know, when Richard Bellzer died, apparently on his death, but he goes,
fuck you.
God. You know what I mean?
Really? I think he said something like
that where he was so angry that it was dying.
You know what I mean? And he was so pissed about it.
But nobody here...
How old are you, George?
46. Yeah, you're not there yet.
When you hit 50, it comes around
and you have to deal with those. That's why I got a
colonoscopy and that's why I quit smoking.
You know what I'm doing things to maybe try to...
But you know what I believe, though? And I'm going to ask you this.
I don't know much about AI.
okay
that was just
ass
but
there's no bot
it's just information
okay
just no much
no much about
yeah yeah
yeah
you know what I would love
is a podcast
where guys talk about
AI
yeah
you know
don't know
don't really know much about
yeah
yeah yeah
yeah that'd be fun
yeah
have thoughts
on it
have opinions
I do have thoughts about it
but it's like
you know
but I've been
I think
Maybe AI technology when it comes to medicine will prolong it?
I hope so.
That's for, I'm excited about that.
Do you think so or no?
Well, I felt like a couple, here we go.
I felt like a couple years ago, there was this real utopian view of the AI thing
that we're like entering, about to enter into this.
New age.
And there are going to be a lot of downsides to that, about employment and all this stuff.
But that there was this almost extraterrestrial, you know,
level of super intelligence.
And then it feels like it's maybe just a bunch of bullshit.
Yeah.
Like maybe they were just like a bunch of these tech guys trying to whip up a lot of
investment and a lot of interest.
And it's like, well, we don't, it doesn't really work.
Yeah.
But that might be wrong too.
I think you're wrong.
I think there's, I think you're wrong.
I don't know much about it.
I think there are some parts of it that are really, it's specifically in medicine and
science and stuff where it could actually do amazing things apparently.
Yeah.
But like have you tried to like the chat?
Like it feels like it's really stupid.
Well, chat, I deleted.
I'll tell you why.
Okay.
That's Sam Altman.
He's got to be, I mean, he seems like a bad guy.
Yeah.
And also, I think that it's lying to me.
I'll give you a-
Specifically.
I'll get, I'm going to give you a prime example why I deleted chat chpd.
I go, who started the Iran war?
And it goes, well, they've technically been in a war in 47 years.
I go, you know what I mean?
When it does that, I'm like, no.
We started it.
We bombed them.
Right.
Right.
And they go, well, people would still perceive that as, you know what I mean?
Right.
Detention and they have nuclear capability.
They didn't have, you know, and then you keep arguing and it tries to stay in the middle, right?
When it knows, you know what I mean?
It's wrong.
Yeah.
Well, that's what you use chat for?
It's all about.
I argue back and forth with it to see, you know what I mean, how, if I can win an argument.
Oh, wow.
That's why it's debating you because you're prompting it that way.
My questions are so different for John.
What's your question?
My last ones, if you were to look through my history, silly stuff.
Like how wide is the live flat seat on United Flight 1598?
That's what I asked.
Stuff like.
Like, and I do like a side-by-side comparison because if I were to do a ghoul,
it would take me forever to find that versus chat just kind of lays it over you.
Why would you want to hear it?
I'm not sleeping with my baby for a nap to, you know, long-haul flight,
so I have to know if we're going to fit in this specific type of old Boeing 777 slash 200.
Wow.
Bingo.
I just hit my three o'clock dip.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's gone pretty quickly, don't you think?
I'm having a blast.
I'm just kidding.
No, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know we know that you were.
Yes, thank you.
Yeah, because we have comedy sensibilities as well as we do.
Yeah, put that in performance.
Yeah, what?
Yeah, what have you used chat for?
I'm trying to think.
Well, one thing that I found it useful for in, for example, in On Cinema,
when we get together to write or any kind of writer's room,
turn it, there's a, you know, you can record your meeting, and then it takes notes.
And sometimes I find the hardest, if you don't have a good note taker,
there's so many things coming, blah, blah, blah, you know, or just riffing and then you
lose stuff and if no one's taking good notes. And a few of those programs do a really good job
of note taking. I see. And breaking it down and organizing it and almost immediately. Wow.
Or another thing was like I had a script that I wrote with somebody and we wanted to send in a
synopsis with like a one page description of the movie and all this stuff. You. So it read this whole
script. It read the script in like in a second and then outputed this this summary and it was like very well done.
and it was the kind of work that I hate to do.
Right.
You know, it's like a book report.
Yeah.
That kind of work.
So I think it's kind of good for that kind of stuff.
Well, that's why, like, a lot of these lawyers' positions are being eradicated through.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
I think a lot of jobs in that way are going to be eradicated, you know?
And I think that, I mean, I mean, I mean, you already seeing it with, in China, with the robots making the cars.
You know what I mean?
And I know that we see those little boxes with the little eyes that delivering stuff on the street.
Yeah.
And we don't think anything of it.
They're so cute.
Why don't they put eyes on it?
So I can see.
It doesn't scare you.
You think it's cute.
Oh, why?
Because when one's like now tumbling and crashing into something, then you feel bad.
I do.
Are you okay, buddy?
Yeah.
I like somebody who's saying there's a new driverless car thing that's like more, it feels like you're just sitting in a box.
In a box without, there's no steering wheel or there's no pretending that there's, you're,
is a driver.
Wow.
Because you don't really, like in those Waymos,
that's not actually being used.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, that's not, there's...
Aesthetics.
Yeah, it's just aesthetics.
Yeah.
I like the idea of, like, that you're,
if you're going to have that experience,
it's, yeah, that thing.
Yeah.
Like, you're not pretending that it's,
that it's being controlled by people.
It's completely autonomous.
It's probably more room?
It's more room.
Yeah, yeah.
It's free?
It's free in Vegas.
They're in pilots, though.
Amazon owns it.
Oh, Amazon.
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
Believe me, this whole thing,
this insidious pricing thing
where it's like, remember when Uber
came out and it was like,
oh, you go to the airport for $15.
Don't need a cab.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then it's like, now it's $120.
You know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They like let you get you addicted to it
and then they just go bo, bo, bo, bo.
Is it still cheaper than a taxi?
That I can't tell you, I don't know.
Can you chat cheap to you?
Yeah, maybe I'll go back to taxi cabs.
Yeah, taxis.
I like taxis to their old school.
I've gone back to taxi cabs.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yes, Jaime?
No, taxi cabs.
Taxi.
Yeah.
That's the good old times.
Taxi.
Taxi.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then some Indian guy.
Easy.
Easy.
Oh, whoa.
There's all kinds of people that drive those things.
Asians.
Yeah, a lot of Asians, Pakistanis.
Yeah, yeah, Irish people.
Subcontinental African.
I've had some subcontinent on that, driving it.
Subcontents.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm some cuns.
I love my friend.
But my point is, is this,
how about this as a thing?
Their music.
Now, in Uber, okay?
What music?
Oh, the cab driver's music or the Uber's music.
Yeah.
One time I went to an Uber and it was like,
Jesus, pull me in your arms forever.
Worship.
Am I allowed to go, can you turn that off, please?
You are certainly allowed to do that.
But then you create an awkward situation.
Yeah.
Right.
So what would you do in that situation?
I would
sing along
just disassociate
oh you disassociate
look at my phone
yeah yeah yeah yeah I had once
because I also play music
and I was at a club
and I had a guitar with me
and I got into an Uber
and the guys and that's always the worst
because somebody's like you know
oh you play music
yeah what kind of music and I just
I don't want to talk about what kind of music
you know I just say it's rock music I say
yeah and I and he goes
Oh, rock music.
And he turns it onto like the rock station and blasts it.
Really?
Like, oh, you need, you need rock music now.
Tim Harker.
I'll take this off for a second.
I'm turning this off.
Nope.
Oh, wow.
What?
Your Uber story.
Yeah.
Something else, right?
And I think I timed it wrong where I was playing the music during the story.
You weren't listening to the story.
I didn't hear a single word of it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, look at me.
Well, that's funny.
Why, where'd that picture?
Is that you?
That's me when I was 16.
Let me guess what kind of music here in this band.
It's Dream Pop.
No, it's like, jangle pop.
Jangle Pop, Foki, sort of Beatlesque.
Yeah, I think that you and I would share the same kind of musical taste.
Probably.
You're wearing a talking head shirt.
I just saw David Byrne a few months or so ago.
At Coachella?
No, at Big Ears in Knoxville.
in Knoxville.
Where are you from?
I'm from San Diego, California.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I'm a huge talking heads fan.
Get that out of.
You look so handsome, though, by the way.
I'm a talking heads fan.
I believe that you and I,
do you like television?
Yeah, I'm not a big television fan.
Okay.
But do you like the CBGB days back in the...
I mean, that's not my favorite period of music.
Yeah.
I'm more of like a 70.
I think I just lost a job.
No.
No.
I'm not like a punk guy.
You're not a punk guy.
No.
Yeah, what are you then?
Like Beatles, Stone.
Yeah, you beatle.
Oh, me too.
Yep.
Pink Floyd.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Why not?
That's my favorite.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I want to ask.
So, I want to say something, okay?
Oh, gosh.
I have here in Beatles.
I know, so we have a friend here.
He's a photographer.
His name is Alex.
You know what I mean?
He's the guy in the ball, right?
And he told me that,
um,
he's in a ball.
He basically said that Lincoln Park,
was better than the Beatles.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And how do you feel about that statement?
Everybody's free to have their own opinion about things.
You hate it.
It's no way to have an...
There's no rigid aestheticism about anything.
That's...
I would not agree with that.
I think we could look at statistics and numbers to disprove that.
We could look at...
If you want to go by record sales or, you know,
cultural impact.
Yeah, yeah. I understand that.
But the argument with his, he's saying that,
what was your argument? Say in the mic.
I said that the hybrid theory,
hybrid theory album by Lincoln Park
probably sold more albums than the White album.
Yeah, but you have to understand that they're
clocking it when Spotify came out, right?
When you don't put in the amount of albums they sold
for 30 years before that.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Yeah, I also just think you cannot.
That era, it's like you're,
consumption and buying of albums was very different from the 2000s in Lincoln Park.
Back then, everyone bought an album.
Exactly.
Like, that was the, I was in high school.
I would spend all my money on a lot of CDs at that time.
Yeah, at the time.
So you're not,
that Spotify number that you're looking at is in the Spotify years of what?
What?
We used chatty.
What is the question?
I just made that statement.
That he said that that hybrid theory from Lincoln Park sold more copies of the White Album.
Global sales, hybrid theory, $32 million, and White Album, $21 million.
Throughout history.
Yeah.
All right.
It's all the saying.
The numbers don't lie, man.
I mean, that's kind of a random Beatles album to pick.
Yeah, that is.
Can we go?
What?
You chose that one.
I chose the White Album.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, that's my favorite one.
Okay.
Because I think that the White Albon has a different mix of genre music.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah, yeah, you have like Helter Skelter, but then you also have Dear Prudence.
You know what I mean?
It's like you're getting a lot of different genres, and they're also opening up experimental-wise.
I'll tell you what.
I will tell you my favorite Beatles.
Tell me, tell me.
It's a hard day's night.
And tell me why.
And I'll tell you why.
Because we, there's a, I think people of our generation, we tend to look at,
at the early Beatles stuff, the beetle mania with the mop tops and suits, and it's a little
old-fashioned or it's a little, it's not for us. We like the sixth, we like the Sergeant Peppers
and the psychedelic stuff, right? That prime, that 1964 stuff, when they were on fire in a way that
no other band's ever been, maybe Elvis, but nobody is just, is like where people are weeping,
openly screaming and throwing themselves
on the ground for them.
Yeah.
That height-
Well, you haven't been doing
a Lincoln Park concert.
Well, these guys never got it like this.
This was insanity.
I remember.
And the band themselves are like,
there's no issues between the four of them.
They are, they're like,
it's the peak of everything.
Everything after that is like a little bit of down-hous life.
And we catch them in the Hard Day's Night album.
Their songwriting is unbelievable.
Yeah.
It's a John Central.
album. Yeah. But it's it the songwriting is through the through the roof. They're getting really
good in the studio, but it hasn't gotten into like backwards tape loops or anything yet, but it sounds
really good. And it's just them at the best, as good as they're ever going to be. Yeah. As good as
they're ever going to be. Even though they went on and did better things. Yes. Yes. I see what
you're saying. This is as tight as they, this is just, you listen to that album is four guys in one
room together. Yeah. And there's a person pressing record. Yeah. And we're hearing, getting to hear that.
still to this day.
Wow.
And I think it's, there's some songs
that, you know, don't age as well, whatever,
but it's a very moving experience
to listen to that record after all these years.
They're 22 years old.
Wow.
What the hell? Imagine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
3, 23. That's incredible.
And also, you know, Beatlemania, if you don't know what that is,
it's these women, it was almost as if it was the second coming of Christ.
And I don't wanna make, I believe.
And John Lennon got in trouble for saying that.
Did he say that?
Well, he said something to the effect about a year or so later said that, you know, we're bigger than Jesus now.
Yeah.
And he didn't mean it quite that way, but it was like the kids aren't going to church.
They're coming to the rock shows.
It's, it's, it's, I mean, it's chasing after them for miles.
Yes.
In a car.
Look at any of the footage from Shay Stadium or the Ed Sullivan show.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
People are like losing their mind.
Mass psychosis.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because I, you know, the Bieber thing that, you know what I mean?
That's the biggest.
Oh, this is so.
great. I mean, it's so great.
It's crazy. Do you guys think
at Michael Jackson's peak, same
level, or completely different from the Beatles?
I wouldn't say completely different, but
that guy was into some weird shit, though.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think so. Have you looked into that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
They cut that out of the movie. They're so beautiful. I saw the movie.
They cut it out of the movie. It stops.
They're so beautiful. Sometimes they make me
cry, just how beautiful they are.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm not being sarcastic.
I feel the same way.
I mean, when they look at each other,
yeah, yeah.
When they look at each other and know.
Jeez.
You good?
And know that they, how young they started.
They're 15, 16 years old, and they work for 10 years.
And they're like at Shea Stadium.
You can see them looking at each other going like,
how the fuck did this happen?
Wow.
What the fuck is going on?
Because remember the pub days.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And also they went to Germany.
They would go to other places and play these small.
Grind it out.
They would grind it out during cover.
There was no guarantees this was going to go anywhere either.
Pete Best was in the band at the time.
Terrible drummer.
Really?
Well, that's why they kicked them out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He wanted to go to art school.
That's what I heard.
No.
Okay.
That's the bass player, Stu Sutcliffe.
Oh, that is?
Who died of a brain aneurys.
Oh, wow, I did not know that.
Thank you so much for that information.
Thank you.
Well, now we're in a Beatles podcast.
Yeah, yeah.
Because you have to understand that I grew.
up obsessed with them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
As a little child, my mom would play them
and Simon and Garfunkel.
Love Simon and me too.
And Art Garfunkel's playing at the old,
with the ace.
Pass.
Ah!
We're obsessed with him.
He's a strange bird.
He is?
Wait, at the ace.
Yeah.
I think Paul Simon is at the Hollywood Bowl.
Yeah, it's a little bit.
No way, wait.
At the same night?
The same night.
No, no.
They're just,
They're co-chelling it, you know what I mean?
One's on the mainzain, one's in the tent.
Exactly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I'm fascinated by Art Garfunkel.
I think he's hilarious and strange.
And I'm...
Have you met him?
No.
Oh, yeah.
Just from his videos and...
He's talented guy.
Very strange bird.
And very talented.
And I can't wait to see what that...
Whatever that show is going to be.
Yeah, yeah.
Very exciting for me.
Now, does he sing?
No singing.
No, I'm just kidding.
Of course.
Yeah.
Well, I'll be honest with you.
I'll tell you not.
I mean, because one time I bought
Lou Reed tickets. I think he was
going to sing and he was... Who? Lou Reed.
Lou Reed. I just said Lou Reed. Anyways.
Doesn't matter. I miss heard.
Continue. Lou Reed.
I have an Asian accent.
A blue.
A blue. A rude.
Okay. Sometimes it comes out.
Yeah. Sorry. Fair enough.
Yeah, but anyway.
And he just spoke or something?
And he just wrote, he just read
poem from his poem.
I literally thought, oh, he's going to play music.
I show up. There's nothing on stage
except for a podium.
You know what I mean?
And I'm sitting there and he comes out
and he brings out a book
and he just reads poems.
Yeah, and I was still going,
Woo!
Great poems!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That one didn't rhyme.
Because I'm a huge fan, you know what I mean?
A poem.
A poetry.
Well, I mean, just to see you know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I was just like, yeah, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
I was like in high school.
I like those kind of things.
Like I saw Nick Cave at the Disney Hall,
Disney Hall.
Yeah.
And it was like just in conversation, kind of.
It was like a piano there.
and he played songs.
But then he did a Q&A.
But it was like very,
it was not just like a end of the thing.
It was like part of the show.
And it was great because people had great questions.
He had great answers.
It was just terrific.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So sometimes I like.
Love his voice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And it cave's great.
Now, you know, we're toward the end of the podcast
sequence of this program.
Okay.
Yeah.
And I want your honest answer.
Okay.
And, you know, sometimes, you know,
As comedians, we ham it up and, you know, I mean, and we lean into the comedy of it.
Yeah.
But sometimes Papa Lee, which is me, likes to be real.
Yeah.
And did you have fun today?
I did.
I did.
Okay.
Genuine.
Yeah.
I think the time flew by.
I've got, yes, a lot on my plate this week because of what's going on with Info Wars,
a lot of other things happening.
And I was a little, I saw this on my schedule.
I said, hey, geez, do I?
It's got to drive somewhere, and I've got to sit somewhere and be away from this for a while.
Yeah.
Is it going to end?
I'm very, very happy that I didn't, that I'm here.
Very happy.
Great, great, great.
And I was very excited that you were on the list.
Good.
And huge fan.
Do you want to plug in anything right now?
Infowars.
What else?
Infoors, office hours.
Yeah.
High network.
Highnetwork.tv.
Hiatnetwork.
Dot TV.
And why don't we give Tim Heidecker a round of applause.
Thank you so much for being.
I have a couple questions.
You have to know,
Heim had some questions.
Oh, okay.
Just real quick, real quick.
Encore?
Yeah, real quick, real quick.
Encore.
I watched your, the Joe Rogan podcast,
did he get mad?
I have not heard.
I heard, I didn't hear.
I don't know.
I can't remember.
Okay.
How was your experience on that feeling-wise when you left?
I never did the Joe Rogan podcast.
I did a parody of it.
Oh, you did a parody of it.
11 hours.
11 hours?
No, well, it was a, yeah.
hour and a half that we looped.
Yeah.
And you can't, well, that was my, that's the ultimate, my joke of that was just like, I never
know when that show starts and ends.
And whenever you see it, it's three hours.
It's just going on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No one gets anywhere and there's no point.
Yeah.
It's just a total waste of everyone's time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was funny.
Yeah, go on, go on.
And then me and Ralph, my best friend, we, we enjoyed your stand-up special.
Thank you.
Oh, that was really good.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was like, on YouTube.
Yeah, I love it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because we got what you were doing, and you did it perfectly.
I heard, somebody posted in the midst of all this InfoWars crap,
somebody posted their negative review of that,
and it's really funny how mad it made some people.
I get it, you're trying to not be funny, and everyone's laughing, and blah, blah, blah.
And it's like, well, but who cares?
If you're laughing, who cares?
No, I loved it.
Whatever I do to get you to laugh, all that matters.
It's fucking right, Daddy.
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah.
I wish I would have brought that up earlier.
That was so fucking great.
I'm glad you liked it.
Yeah, yeah.
And didn't take offense because I'm not trying to...
No, as a stand-up, I understand what you do.
Right.
You know, I mean?
And there's an understanding fall.
And...
Fall.
But anyway, um...
Uh-uh.
Circle around.
But I really do understand your style.
And that's why I'm such a big fan of yours.
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah.
I appreciate it.
And we'll have to get you on our podcast these days.
I would love to do it.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, if you would have me, I'd be grateful to do it.
We'll set that.
One more question?
One more question?
Not just Ralph, he enjoyed your special more than specials.
So his best friend is Ralph Barbosa.
He was a very famous stand-up comedian.
Really?
Just keep seeing Ralph.
Yeah, yeah.
And he just...
Do you run that grocery store?
No, not yet.
Not Ralph's.
Not yet.
Yeah, yeah.
Ralph Barbosa is a big fan of yours.
Oh, really?
And he's a very up and rising, very funny stand-up comic.
I have to look out for him.
I don't know.
Yeah, yeah.
So...
Anything else?
Is that anything else?
Where is Eric?
No, no.
We already did that.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I had in the beginning.
I understand.
How's Eric kids?
How's Eric's kids?
Yeah.
He doesn't have any kids.
I have two kids.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How's your kids?
Very quick.
Well, yeah.
Are you doing Infowars?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway, just do a little self-editing.
Thank you, guys.
