A little bit. So here's how it goes. I'm like, hey Steve, I got this great new bit I'm working on about how like, because of gay marriage, interracial dating and we're pretty cool with drugs. You know, those are the big taboos.

The next one is we should take the word fuck freely. You're like, yeah, man, it's kind of like the word Scali. No, no, it's like fuck, you said it's just a place filler word like fuck or um. Yeah, and I said, I said, yeah, and I said, in the 1800s, uh, they used to, scaly wag used to be like saying fuck or the end word. Yeah, and I go, hey dude, can I use that punch, thi, that that that that that that the punch, the punch, the punch, the punch, the punch, the punch, the punch, the punch, the punch, the p. the p. the p. the p. the p. the p. the p. the pa, the play, the play, the place, the place, the place, the place, th. the place, the place, the place, the place, it's the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, the the the the place, the the the the place, the place, the place, the place, the place, place, place, place, place, the the place, place, place, place, the the place, place, place, the place, the place, place, the place, the place, the place you did. No, you know what I was thinking in that second? Bill Posley, who's a guest on this show, was the first one to tell me that. So I was like, well, like, because he was like Scali Wag, like he said that. And so I was just thinking, I'll ask him if I've done stand-up dude, I've done people's podcasts where I've watched people, we're kind of having conversations, they're like, and I see them write something, I see them write it down, you know. Well, what happens? Okay, I guess I got to ask you, because this happens a lot. You're waiting

to go up on stage, not you but like comics and we're having a hilarious conversation and then someone goes to the stage I've done this before I'm like and goes and talks about what we were talking about is that all right? Well it depends on who initiates the conversation? How are you ever gonna know? 100%? You know what I say when I'm about to say something I think could be a funny joke I go you know I've been doing this thing on stage and then I say it I the th you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm tho I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm th th thin I'm thin I'm the th th th th th th th thin I th thin I th thin I th th th th thin th th th th th th th th th th th th I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin the the the the the the to to the to to thi to thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi and I say it. So then I claim it. Oh I'm gonna do that. Yeah, I've been doing this thing on stage and then I claim it. So once I've been doing it on stage like oh bitch like you're not gonna come on like on my property I've been doing this. Yeah. No, no one's gonna go the door's lot. Okay. This is my intellectual property let me tell you. No I'm not gonna say it but no I get you. No I that you.

I'm get you I get you yeah I got so that's kind of where we're at on that okay so Scolly wag scaly the I'm just like I'm trying to really push new jokes I don't so funny I heard not in a 12 step

program is that this old guy sometimes you go to like a 12 step program meeting and there's like there's like an old dude there and some people young people there and the old guy thi there there there the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I thi thi tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I thi tho-I tho-I tho- I'm there's like there's like there's like there's like there's like there's like there's like there's like there's like there's like there's like there's like there's like there's like there's like there's like there's like there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's th is th is th I I th I th I th I th I th I tho tho tho tho tho tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I'm tho-I'm tho-I'm tho-I'm tho-I tho-I tho- by the old guy there, but I'm a little more sensitive because I'm kind of in between the young people and the old guy. Like I'm very sensitive right now to ageism. I watch it happen all the time. Well, because of the Stevo conversation on our podcast, I think that spooked you maybe maybe a little bit. No, because I disagree. He got dramatic, but I was like dude I don't even feel like he's like it's all over well for him because where he was and what's

Remember like they and they were underage?

The owners were just letting them in do I'm doing stand-up, it goes, you're doing stand-up now. I was just working at a restaurant. It did well and then he just stopped it, right? Yeah, it did really, really well. I went and found a notebook during that time period. We had Leslie Jones, um, Adam Dive. Like, and this is all the credit to Sam. the the the th th th th th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi th, thi, thi, th, it was th, it was th, it was th, it was thin, thin, thin, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, th.

Sam was building the lineups. But our lineups were like the comedy store lineups now. And it was at some random restaurant in Pasadena. And this guy, remember he built us a stage. And you didn't know what was going on the whole time because I worked for these, these

were Korean sweatshop owners that were born in Brazil, moved to Tijuana, their own sweatshops, built an empire, then came and in Pasadena bought a random, a random restaurant and then it was run by all white kids and they bought it and they were like, you, go, go, go back now. And I'm like, this is like, what are you doing? You can't do this. Like, they ran sweatshops for 20 years. And so they'd be like, you, you're a worker, go scrub. And I'm like, dude, no, homie. So then one day, I did a ha ha, I did a comedy, yeah, like everybody was like, what are you thinking but they were ruthless, dude?

They would try to smoke cigarettes. They didn't play by the rules. Inside and so they, like I did a comedy contest at the restaurant. And I go, well, I don't know, and they're like, call your friends. I call Tripoli. This is five years ago. And you're like, I guess this could work. I mean, there's no stage. Dude, that stage. Remember, they built us a stage with like floodlights. And you weren't stressed. because because because because because because because because because because because it they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're. they they they're like. they're like. they they they they they they they they they they're like, they're like, they're like, they're like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I call, I call, I call, I call, I call, I call, I call.

Well, those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those th, th, th, th, th, thi thi, thi, thi, the late the late late late late night thi, the late late late late late late late late late late late late late late late late late late late late late late late late late late late late. Those thi, thi, thi, thi, th. Those th. Those th. Those th. Those late. Those late. Those late. Those late. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those. Those late. Those late. Those late. Those late. Those late night. Those late night. Those late night, th. Those late night, th. Those late night, th. Those late late late late night, th. Those late late late late night, thankful for them, but they're mind-fucks. Well, it's great to be on the team coach. Yeah, and that's ultimately the way I look. They're great to be considered one of the better comics at the comedy store, which is the greatest comedy club in the world. That's great. It's a nice little chunk of change, which is that's, which, which, which, which, which, which is, which is, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that's, that's, that's, that's, thi, that's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi., thi. And, thi. thi. thi. thi. thii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, I believe, make you really, really good. But the problem is they're not, it's not always fun to live through.

Yes. Right? Because you're going up in front of an audience that is tired. They don't want to be there anymore. And I think the worst set is when the room is full, but they don't want to be there's every every spot soon as you get past an hour and a half into a show Every spot starts to take on its own personality And you never know which one you're gonna get you might get the spot where all the nerds left and all the people that are left are awesome Because there's sometimes a second life in that late night room. Yeah, then there's other times where it's like no matter what you do You could bring out Richard Pryor one 100 percent. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the theat's the. the. the. you the. you you you the. you the. you you you you th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're th. the the the the the the the the the theeeeeee they're they're they they the the the the the the I talk about, now the whole thing is, how many people leave when you're done?

And that's like, no matter who you are, even, Richard Pryor, if you give them the two and a half hours spot into a show, people are gonna leave. Like when you came up to me the other day, going, to watch your people leave during Jim Jeffers, he's like, what are they doing? Oh yeah, Jim Jeffries dropped in and like, it doesn't matter who. Yeah, even Eric the manager was like excited. He's like, oh my god, he's one of my favorite comics and we were so excited to see him. And then like, 20 people just, and Sam was sitting in one of the booths and Sam and I are looking at each other shaking our heads, but they don't, I guess. know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I, I, I know, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, and, and, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, even, and, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, like, the, their, even, even, their, their, even, their, their, even, even, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the,'s not a comedy store? And there's a little bit of a way of you enter

when your comedy store, that if he did the comedy store for a little while, it would have gone even better than it did after once they realized where he was at. Do you think so? Oh yeah, he walked right out and jumped right into a joke. He didn't say anything to the crowd. You got to connect. He can go to to to go to to go to to to to the to to the tho, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the comedy, tho, tho, tho, the coo, the coo, the comedy, the comedy, the the comedy, the the the the comedy, it the the comedy, it the the the comedy, it the the comedy, the comedy, it th, th, it tho, it tho, it tho, it tho, the comedy, thi, it thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, it, it, it, to anybody, he can go, hey, what's going on? Oh, you guys are still here, which you watch people do. That's what, that's what those late night spots are good for. You gotta be, the comedy store, if anything,

teaches you, it's all about in the moment. It's all about in the moment. Yeah, oh yeah, you can't do a person, you can't say hitting off the tea, yeah, if you're going up at 10 o'clock. The reason your great Steve is because you are a early show guy who kills late night and that is not easy to do. And there are guys who get those early spots and I don't have anything with anybody that are just, if I hear another person go, oh my god, that guy killed, what's like thrown in dude. That's new pussy spot. Yeah, it's baby If you you call me when somebody doesn't kill in that spot right that's more

amazing to me. Hey, dude, that's only got three in and he bombed now I want to hear this story. Tell me some dude teed off three four five in if you're anywhere earlier than a let that there's there's eight spots in the. Anywhere in that eight spots, if you're not crushing, you're doing something wrong. After the eight spots, if you're crushing, you gotta fuck, you know what you're doing. Yeah, and spot seven and eight, this is my theory on comedy. Comedy is a very, especially live, all comedy in general, is it fascinating art form, whether it's film, television, or live performance, because the audience is actively engaged. You're trying to get a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the response the response the response the response to get to get the response to get the response to get the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their their their their their. their their their. their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their their their thea. theateateateateateateat. theateateateat. theateat. their ea. their their ea. their their performance because the audience is actively engaged. You're trying to get a response out of that audience. A drama, you can just sit and chill and you're still doing your job.

Yeah, yeah. A comedian has to make you laugh. A comedy film. A comedy film, a comedy film, a comedy film, a comedy film, a comedy film, 70 minutes, that's all you can really laugh and be engaged for. And then you need a break. I like going up on the road. I like going up on the road. I like going up in the road at no letter than 30 minutes into the show. That's when I feel is the best time.

So I'll give my opener 10 minutes, my feature 20 then let me get up. Maybe a guest spot but dude. But that's. But that's. But th. But th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I. I. I. I. I. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the th. the th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the the the the the the the the the the's it. And let me get up. Maybe a guest spot, but dude. Yeah, but then that starts ruining, it really does start ruining the show. 30 minutes, they're warmed up, they're ready to go, and then when I headline, when I was younger, I was insecure, I wanted to prove that I was a headliner, I was like, thrown, I'm thu........ that. that. that. that. that. that. that. thrown, that. thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, that. thrown, thrown, thirty. thirty. thrown, thrown, thirty. thirty. thirty. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thrown. thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrownee. throwne. throwne. throwne least amount of time I can do? Really? Yes. Yes. Keep them wanting more. Get out on a huge laugh.

I really like that guy. As soon as they really start to get to know me. And then it's like later. It's like at a house party. Are you talking about comedy? When you're crushing. . . talked to a lady that was a manager that used to be a waitress and she said, you know, it's so funny that you're picking up on that because she was like, I've waited tables

for over 10 years. She was like, regardless of who the headliner was, we always made the most money and tips with a 45 minute headliner set. 45, no matter who it was. I should do that. Trust me, it'll change. their. I's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's. I. I. I. I. I's. I. I's. It's. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, I. their. It's, regardless. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. Regardless. Regardless. their, regardless. their, regardless. their, regardless. their, regardless. their, regardless. their, regardless. their, regardless. their, regardless. It's. their. their, regardless. their, regardless. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. t. t. tod. today. today. the. the. the. the. their. their. their. their. Regardless, regardless. Regardless. their, regardless. their. the ego. I don't know how long my stories are. I really think my stories are five men stories, and then I realize that they're really 10 to 12 to 13 men's stories. When they're done, right? See, that's another problem that is common and comedy, especially when you're not used to quality stage time. Quality stage time, a seven minute bit is really, you take your time with it. You let it marinate. Saver it. Yeah, it's probably 12, 15 minute bit. But like sometimes when you're, even when you know you can get a bit in late night, you got

to chop out the fat sometimes to get to the laugh because their attention spans are fried. They're not as engaged as a, and I acknowledge that with, and that's how I connect. Yeah. Two hours ago you guys were awesome. Yeah. And there we were. I always hope, oh, it was, you guys are such a great crowd two hours ago. You'll be like, man, I watch you guys be awesome and now you're not, you know? Yeah. And it's like, those are tricks you learn. Sometimes people don't get me. see me sometimes I'm like what is it? Because I love yelling at the crowd but I do it, I do it intellectually in a way where I know what to say that makes them laugh.

Yes, see that's the thing you hit the nail on the head like because the greatest thing about the comedy store is learning from each other. And I love the fact that there's kids with dreams in their eyes to show up. But I could see like an open-my comic watching Tripoli do what he does and they're like, oh, I could just yell at the audience. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the, that's what an unexperienced I see is. I go, oh my god, he's connecting. He's bringing them into his world. He's getting them ready for Tripoli time. This is awesome, but it's done with the vulnerability and it's done with the sweetness. . I, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's you can combine. Yeah, thank you. But it's the truth, and that's what we're all called to do as comics,

is find out what makes me mean. Yeah, that's it. And I think you had it from. It's right. You are one of those guys that I'm like, when you get a special, it's going could be put up against any story that's been told, dude. And the comedy story, that's like the best story, dude.

It's such a, it's such a well-beat thing, man. And I, which story? About his nephew in a Philadelphia, and I don't want to get the bid away. Yeah, but it's like, his nephew is like a thin every Christmas got to bring him gifts. Oh, yeah, yeah I love that story Are the gifts good not not good enough? Yeah, man The reason I wanted to get into is because you're very interesting man Because you're a lot like me Like this last up that at the store. I'm I'm a weird guy at the store because I don't know my foot in the store. the store, I don't know my footing at the the the the the the the the the the the the tho tho the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th is th. the th. th. the the the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the reason's is the reason's the reason's the reason is. the reason is. the reason is. the reason is. the the the th is. th is. th is. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin is the is three is the. the. threat is. the. the reason. the reason. three is th. the. the. the reason reason reason why's three coming from someone who works the door, who I'm kind of in a little bit, but I'm not made, I'm not made, I'm not made yet. So I get to see, I'm with my back on the wall and a lot of the guys that have been there class at the store? Are you in my class or? No.

Is Ari that another class? I think, I think you had your class, which would be you, Cap, Ernst, and Sebastian? And Mazz. And Amad was in that class, too? That was your class. Now there was a, now that was my class, but there were guys who joined my class that joined later, which I consider like Steve Burn Brian Callan because they were actually after you, but for some reason because we're all the same age In a weird way that I hung out with you guys my actual class is like probably two after you because I didn't get past for eight years

People don't understand that are you can't? Are you kidding? Wow, the young kids are ready to call it quits Because they're millennials. They're not bad. to to to to to to th th th th the th th th the th their th their th th their th th th their th th th their th their th th that that that that that that that their their that theat. thu. thu. thu. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi. te. teat. teat. teat. tea. tea. tea. tea. they. they. their their their their the kidding? These young kids are ready to call it quits because they're millennials, they're not bad people, but dude, people don't realize Ari showcase almost 30 times. Are you kidding me? I didn't know that. The only way I got past is I said I didn't want to do it again. Yeah. I was already, I started to headline improvs with nothing no TV credits nothing and then they were like you want a showcase for Mitsy I'm like now I'm all right wow yeah

and I tell you I think I broke the record actually for just time I'm not sure but it's definitely top five you're the only you're the only person I'll say these two things you're the only person I've seen just go I'm the only person I've seen just go the only one I'm the the the the the only the only the the only the only th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi the only thi th. the only the only th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. th. th. th.

Remember in the main room that one time? And I, you tell me things that I didn't know. I didn't know that you can do. So I'm sitting there, no rules, man. It was a, it was a bad show. The crowd was bad. It was really, I'm getting off stage and then someone can I think Nick user came replace you and then I was like hey is everything cool you're

like yeah I just I just don't need this right now and I said I said you can do that and you go yeah I just did yeah I was like oh like it was almost like in the matrix like you can go to the video game it's like oh you can go in that other room for sure dude like the way the way I look I look th I I I I I I I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th th th th th th th th th th th th th that th th that th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the I the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th is the the the the the to to the the to to the to the the the th. It's the only art form I can think of, where the audience is equal to you in terms of creating the final product. Like if I'm in a band, if I'm going to play, you're all, it's, imagine you're an actor, but the audience is your scene partner. The audience has just as much creative control over the final outcome as we do. Oh, God, that's scary, it's terrifying. Right, because I always say this, I go, the audience gets the show they deserve.

They get the show they deserve. And there's a point where like every once in a while, I'll run into the audience that needs to hug the most, but it's always the audience that deserves at as a comedian. That's such a great look. Yeah, I'm just tripping on everything that he's saying right now. I honestly view myself as like a, a healer. Kind of. I think that's too strong of a word. I just try to be a therapist? I don't know. I guess it's not comedy. It's kind of like, I want to be the friend, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, to be, to be, the, to be, to be, to be, the, to be, to be, the, to, to, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, to, the, the, the, the, the, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, thi, thi, thi. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I'm, th. I'm, th. I'm, thi. I'm, thr. I'm, thro. I'm, to. I'm, to. I'm, to. I'm, to. I'm to. I'm tha. I'm that's thi. I that's th needs it, this town. And I think you get, if you get good at putting LA audiences

in a good mood, when you get out into the world, it's a much easier job, but they need it just as bad. They need it to, like, I don't actually. They just want to laugh, like they're there for entertainment. Right, and then I'm like, ah, I don't want to just make them to feel their a a their to just, I to just, I to just, I to just, I to just, I to just, I to just, I to just, I to just, I to just, I to just, I to just, I to just, I to just, I to just, to just, to, to, th.. to to just, thi, thi, thi, thi, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, their, their, their, th. th. th. th. th. th. to, th.. th. to, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thr, th. thr, thr, thr, thr, thr. thr. thr. thr. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. the. the. the. them laugh. I want to get them to feel better about themselves and feel better about life. Well, like, I remember that's really what I'm trying to do. I ran a show. We're on hiatus. We need to find a new place. I ran a show. We're on hiatus right now but called Palapalza and it would be a stand. the stand up. A stand up. the stand. tha. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. tha. tha. tha. tta. tta. tta. tta. tta. tha. tha. tta. tta. tha. tha. tta. tta. tta. tta. tta. tta. tta. tta. tta. tta. tta. tta. tta. tta. tta. tta. tta. tta. t. t. t. t. t. t.

I tod toda. toda. toda. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today and they kind of pushed us out gave us a midweek spot and we said no. I do it at my buddy's art gallery. Where is it at? It's down on the like edge of Korean town, downtown? Is it a cool spot? So cool. Yeah, we'll talk about that. And I remember, I would always call Sam I say, hey Sam I say, hey Sam, do you back then. And you said, oh, my buddy Steve Simone, and you gave me his number.

I was like, oh, is he good? He's like, dude, he's the best. So I went and I'm, when I'm running a show, because I was hosting the show, running the show, them performing on the last team, I don't really like, like, I don't really, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, is, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, to, I, to, I, to, I, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, I, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, and you're like you're just talking about like I think that the first part you're like have you ever seen people that used to be friends haven't seen each other a while hug like at an airport that you that you told that you told that story and I was like I was like I can't cry in their you know I'm try I felt a tear rolling and then I looked over at Aaron I grabbed his

forum and he just looked and shook his head and then like that was one of the best sets I bet that anybody's ever done at at my show and we did it for three four years and then you and then you talked about the Cholos at the end of the night and we have to act great and's your if it's your favorite bit I haven't heard you do in a while but the guy that worked out of your gym that was like like the secret tough guy oh you know what I value I've only told that story like probably twice on stage murdered because we got to act out these stories so like we're kind of like connected to them in a way you know what like what's the basic story hilarious story hilarious because like a hilarious hilarious hilarious hilarious hilarious hilarious the story the story the story hilarious because like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like., the look in your eyes though when you say his part when you're like, I don't even know what would like because you got all psycho is so funny.

Do real story long story short, I worked in a bunch of gyms like his day jobs because they were flexible jobs. I could work out for free. I like talk to people. And it's like way more positive environment than like probably anywhere else really. But one of the jobs I worked at Gold's gym in Venice and honestly. The me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me. the me. the me. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Look, the l' the l' to to the le le le. the. the. the. th. th. one of the jobs I worked at Gold's Gym in Venice and honestly the Mecca right yeah the Mecca I just wanted to meet Hulk Hogan that was I was like eight he was like hanging him back in a gold brother I'm like I'll go make a minimum wage if I get to shake Hulk Oh God at one point that I met I met I met I met I met I met Hulk Hogan I met Rick Fl. I was like, I remember once, there was all the big shots, corporate big shots, and I interrupted their meeting. I was like, guys, no fooling. Rick Flair's here.

Can I give him free t-shirts? Oh, it's amazing. The best. So I got to meet everybody. That's the spot. The number one spot, these action heroes. I met Van Dam there. Lou Fregno broke my balls there once. It's like the best. Really? Yeah. What's it like to get your balls broken by a deaf guy? Dude, it was probably maybe, because he goes like this, I was doing this exercise called, they're called,

I think they're called Turkish Get-Ups or something, where you just like have this dumbbell, you're like, thii. thi. thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. Like one of my CrossFit MMA buddies showed it to me, I'm like, why am I doing this? I'm a comedian, and it was such lightweight and it was crippling me. And then as I'm walking out of the gym, the same time, like the Michael Jackson beat it video with two groups of people coming together at the same time and he holds the door up him from and he goes, that was an awfully light dumbbell to be kicking your ass like that. He said that? That's amazing, man. Yes. And then I just gave him a look like I didn't know what to say. I was like happy and hurt at the same time that he got, and then he went, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Nice intensity. I was like, the incredible. the know, I was always like the... I never heard that. That part wasn't in the story, too. Oh, that's a dip.

Well, that's not. The story you're talking about is when there. There was a lunatic that came in there. All the time or one time. This one time. the gym one way or another. They do. Oh, crazy. It's like. There's buff homeless people. There were there. Shredded. That's all he got time for is working about outlaws.

There was outlaws. There was FBI agents. Like everybody worked out there. Everybody. And one day this guy came in who was a monstrous. He was gigantic, like, probably six, five. Like like, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. I. that's. that's. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was....................................................................... or just shredded. Like NFL lineman big. Okay. But with crazy eyes and before the giant beard was cool, he had that and he had that.

You know when somebody has a crazy voice? Oh yeah. And he was like, I will slap your face. He honestly sounded like that. Like he wants to put the lotion in the basket. Dude, that's what I'm not, he sounded. He the, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. frightening. Wild Bill. So I'll cut to the chase. We got time. We got an hour.

We got an hour, dude. It's all you. Okay, so this is what happened. How about China after that? Whatever. So this guy walks in and right away you feel it. I don't care what anybody says you feel stuff. And I'm like the th th th th, I th th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I'm th, I'm th, I'm th, I'm th, I'm that, I'm to that, we the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, we, we, we, we, we, we, we the the the, we the the, we got the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. We, that, that, that, to. We're to. We're too. We got, we're too. We got too. We got too. We got to too. We got to to that is a problem. So then, uh, the guy I'm working with Newham, or knew of him because he's gotten kicked out of other gyms. So then, I don't want to go

into too many details because I don't like telling it. But I had it running with him, where he's looking at me and he was like, oh, he was like, he was like, you know, I'm like, all right, take it easy, brother, you know, I tell it, whatever. And he was like, what are you smiling for? I gotta slap that smirk off your face. I was like, oh my god. First of, bro, I got shook. Like, I haven't been that scared since I've been like 12. Like that bully scared, three o'clock high, buddy rebel. And immediately, as I felt his energy, immediately I'm going, this dude's

tall, am I far enough, am I out of his, I'm behind the counter, mind, but I'm still going, am I, with that, I wanted to control the distance, you know what I mean? Just don't be close enough for this guy to hit me. thii. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin. th. thin. thin. thin. thin. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm, th. I'm, th. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I's. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I's. I's. I's. I's. I'm, th. I'm, th. I'm, th. I'm, th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. to hit me. And then my buddy that knew this dude calmed him down. So I come to work a couple days later, and I guess this dude had gotten arrested. He had gotten arrested at the gym for starting a problem. Now, like I said, probably hundreds, if not maybe a thousand people work out at that gym every day. It's so busy. But it was like my job that's hey be the nice guy behind the calendar. So there was one dude that used to come in who was about my size but very fit like if I was in

shape like fighting shape yeah like I want to know your size like I'm like 5-8-190 this dude was probably 165 170 but shredded but super happy like hey how's it they took like a college gymnast like one of those guys like they told me he was like the dude. the the the the the the the the the th. th. the th. the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the. the. to the. the. the. the. the. the. the of those guys. Like they told me he was like the dude holding up a cheerleader like I could see that. Right, right. Because he had like great energy but like did not come off as a tough guy. It's my spunky. Yeah. But he did talk like this. Yeah. And I've noticed when I interact like with people that have seen a lot of darkness in their life. They, um, they they he had like, he had like, he had like, he had like, he had like, he they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they to to they'd like like like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to they they they to they they they they to they to to they they to to to to to to to to to to their their darkness in their life, they tend to keep themselves calm by the way they regulate their breathing and the tone of their voice. Like if you ever like sit down with like a dude that's like a tier one operator, generally if they're not joking around laughing, they're usually like, yes, thank you, yes, sir,

okay. All right, so we you, yes sir, okay. All right, so we'll execute everybody in there. You know what I mean? Like, so this guy I should have picked up on that because he would always, hey, Steve, oh, well, you have a great day too. Thank you very much, one of those guys, right? So, it's a couple days later, I'm doing an impression behind the counter, like, I will slap your face, right now. But it's like, Steve, you're the king. Like, I was like 30, and I was working out with like 18-year-old kids.

Fung Chow's 32, but... Dude, don't worry about anything. We worry about everything. The age thing is just nuts, dude. It's, we're talking about our age of them, but go on. I'm just gonna say, I like being old because of the peace of mind that comes with it.

And dude, there's no pressure. There's no pressure. No pressure. No pressure. No pressure. The light. the max do you know what I'm saying like you want to have fun you want to do but there's no pressure like do we got to go out we got bang those chicks bro got a raise fucking raise my scorecard you know really bummed out yes stevo came on last week and he kind of like mentioned that he's like it he just bummed about getting older you know what I mean it's a blessing I think it's a but he his problem is his a problem is that he he this his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his problem his his problem his problem his problem his problem his problem his problem his problem his problem his problem his problem his problem his problem his problem his problem. this. this problem his problem his problem his problem. this problem. this problem. this problem. this problem. this problem. this problem. this problem. this problem his his his his problem his problem his problem his problem. this problem his problem his problem. this problem. this problem his problem. this problem. this problem. this problem. this. this problem. this that he lives such an insane life. Yeah.

That like, it was like you just can't live that life forever and it's maybe slow down for him and he doesn't look at it as much of a blessing. You need to switch gears and go into a different album in your, you know, of your life. You know what eventually I think, and I've said this on different podcasts and I don't want to preach or whatever. Preach on ours. We preach all the tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho. tho. tho. tho. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. thi. thi. thi. to theeeeeeeeeea. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. tho. tho. on ours. We preach all the time. We prefer it. Get on a soapbox, what I believe. God damn so much. There's no way you're going to have that peace of mind or find happiness if you're only living for yourself.

No matter how great to circumstances of your life are, if you're only concerned about you, you're going to be a prisoner of your own everything, but I think one of the great things about getting older is realizing it's not all about you man Be cool take care of other people. There's so many people that need Your presence in their life even if it's just a smile that that's what you live for and you start to forget that you're even in soon as you forget yourself and you're too busy? You're too busy? I'm impacting other people. thrown. thi. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. took. tha. took. took. took. took. took. took. took. took. took. took. took. took. took. tak. tak. tak. tak. tak. tak. tak. tak. tak. tak. tak. tak. tak. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. that's where the peace of mind comes from. John Appetow said something that was, I mean, he really, really connected with everybody the other night. He was on and he goes, you know, it's safe to say I'm rich. I don't know if you guys have heard him do this pit, but he was like, I'm really, really, really rich.

I've got stupid money. And he goes, I'm told, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, to, to, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, I, it, it, it, I, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's, it goes, he goes, because what happens is, and it was such a magic moment, I was like, I was just listening, because I, you know, I've talked to you a lot on the phones, if I struggle with that, I want to be famous, I want to be rich and I think that it's gonna say, I know it's gonna save me and stuff like that. over to Russia. Now you're in Russia. You're like, wow, this looks kind of like America. And you said, and you have a meal in Russia. And then you go, okay, I want to go home now. And he goes, do you know what I do most of the time? He goes, I sit in my room and listen to music? Like I did when I was 18. 15, yeah. And then he goes, he goes, you know what really feels good. When you really have to take a shit and you go to a restaurant and you're like, oh my god, they just clean this restaurant.

I'm the first one to use it. He goes, that feels better than the million I have in the bank flying on planes. And then he goes, when someone's riding your ass in traffic and you're able to do a move and pinch them out completely and keep going. He goes, that feels better thi. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi, that, their, that, tho, tho, tho, tho, their their their tho, their tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, th feels th feels th feels th feels th feels th feels th feels th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, that, that, that, that, thi, thi, thi, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi. that, thi. that, thi. that, that did like rebiates it. It was so funny though. He was like I've realized that to man I've really realized that you know when I was young I think you and I both struggle with that We both are kind of coming. You know dude. I'm in a weird place and people think I'm crazy I when I look back in my life and even as a young man doing comedy my goal was never to be the tho the tho the tho the the the that that that that that that that that that that that that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. thin. thin thin thin th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin thin thin thin that. that. that. that. that. that. that. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. th. th. the th. to to to the the th. to the th. the th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. to be able to make a good living Doing what I like to do more than the thought of being in An Amy Schumer's place or anything like that like the guy I'm jealous of and jealous in that, you know, I think the world of him is more Joe Rogan Because Joe Rogan does anything he wants to do. He does anything he wants to do. And what is nothing that he does is predicated on ratings? I want to do this? He? He? He? He? He? He? He? He? He? He. He. He? He. He? He to do? He to do? He to do?

Yeah, and what is nothing that he does is predicated on ratings I want to do this he does this to the best of his like how does he have that? It's the greatest thing about gonna stand that. How does he have that much freedom? We all do. I don't realize when you always think of it. You know so that's where I'm kind of I'm at the rating the rating the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating. the rating.

I never auditioned, dude. And I am now pitching stuff where I just want to pitch.

I don't want to audition. I'm going to write myself in the rolls. Absolutely. And that's how if I get on TV, that's how it's going to be. It's, I can't go. It's just a job. Right. It's it. Yeah. And then to think that... I tell this to young people, when I first started doing, I tell all these guys this young guys, I go, you want to get all this shit, but the truththink you were there, but Paul Mooney pulls the side and goes,

guys, the most fun you're ever gonna have in comedy is right now. When you are just running around, telling jokes, chasing tale, getting a free drink ticket, and you're just doing comedy, because you fucking love it. When the money starts coming in, everybody.. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the money starts coming in, everybody starts popping off at different levels and all that stuff. You never see your friends anymore. You're always on the road.

That's not when, when you start making money off your passion, it becomes business and less passion. And it's just the truth, man. So it's like it changes the game. It's like Biggie Small said, more money, more problems. It's just the truth, dude. Also, we cut you off of that story, too. So that guy- Yeah, we could bring him back whenever you want.

Yeah, yeah, let's bring him back. Oh, so long story short, this guy comes in, and he's like, the guy talking like this, and he goes, Steve, I heard you he was like, I understand the gentleman was arrested and apprehended, but that doesn't mean he won't come back. And I'm like, oh yeah, good point. I never thought of that. Yeah. Because here I am clowning, but condom, right? And it was like, in the event that the gentleman shows up again, what I want you to do, theyme. the the gentleman shows up. What I, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, and I th, and I th, and I that, and I'm, and I'm, and I that, that, and I'm, and I'm, that, and I'm, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, but, but, that, that, but, that, that, that doesn't that's, that's that's, that's, that's, that's, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, excuse to leave, just say, I have to get some water from the back or I need to go check on something.

He was like, and then once you're out of harm's way, obviously, call the police, make sure that they're notified the authorities. And then if I happen to be on the gym floor, just pop out the back door and come get me. And I was like this. I was like, okay man. Like I'm like in my brain. I'm going, oh, thank you. You know, like when a little kid's like I'm helping. You're like, yes, you are.

They know. We just instinct deep down. We get gut feelings. He was like, I'll never instigate, but Well, if you do want to step outside, we could do that. Oh, that's scary. Yeah, but soon as people know, that's when they back off. I've heard that from like three or four guys that were legit tough guys, that like, soon as the, soon as the bully in the situation knew, in the situation new, they picked up on it subconsciously like, hmm, maybe I shouldn't. So this guy was like, yeah, I would,

I'd love to break both of his kneecaps before he picked up his hands. I was like, oh my god. I love that story. Yeah, it's a real story. We get to act out that story. That's the best, did this guy that was like the badass you'd never be able to pick them out of a crowd. No, never, never, never, never.

He's a true badass. True badass. Yeah, it's like the same like when you see like MMA fighters and stuff there, they're never started. It's not the 90s for guys who do the steroids and people in the real stage time aren't really the funniest guys. I mean on state, they're not trying to make everybody laugh. You get it all out. Yeah.

Like. toughest dude ever but also this nicest guy ever and he talked about that on one of his podcasts he's like, uh, usually those bullies and bars are just trying to prove to themselves that they're not afraid.

When I was in sober living, I was 28 and most of the guys were from like 20 to 30, 20 to 30, 20 to 35, so we're all like newly sober, kind of out of our minds. And so they bunk us like it's like cool hand Luke, it's like cool hand Luke. It was just like bunk bed, have you written about this? It sounds like a great movie. No, who hand Luke? You never seen Paul No, yeah, yeah. Oh, it's so good. You were doing a play a, oh, it's funny. No, I didn't know.

Dear God. Oh I love this story. Yeah, but no, I've told a bunch of stories about him. But he ended up being the nicest guy, he was probably 5, 10, 260 pounds of muscle. Oh my God. Muscle. And walked in and was like, hey, everybody were shaved.

I got out of it. He goes, they're all shaving.. their, their, their, their, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, their, to. toe, to. toe, too, too, he, he, he, he, he, he, he. to. to. too, he. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to.

He, he, he, he, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's. told. told. told. told. told. told. told. told. told. told some charge so they found out he was a drug addict. Swartznaker had this thing called Saska program so if you're in prison for a long time yeah it was drug related it was actually a good thing they would unhook you and let you go out but well he was a he was a bona fide prison guy for life he was bunking on my top bed. I slept like a baby because there was just rules. Like, yeah. There's no conflict. Never a conflict with him because I didn't want to. He didn't want to, you know what I mean? So if you're another gang member, but it was like,

it was like sleeping with a pit bull that was nice. You lived in a pit bull. So I felt safe. theyfelt. that you guys were telling him, but you know, we were all, he would do prison hits from in there. He would send letters, oh, level, all over his face. Swaz' was all over his face. But then one time I saw him, he was playing and there's a little black kid on his knee and they were both playing video games like it, because they had to meet the family. So you this guy made it, this guy was more than that. So you're tattoo in your face, you've made some decisions and life. So we're all, everybody in the house, eight guys, in this, in this one unit of apartments

that we're all living and were going bonkers fighting and he's, he would, he would listen to classical music and just, and he had a little Benjamin Franklin's spectacles and he would just sit there. He was, he looked like Mike Tyson, he was white dude, he was just sitting there, just smiling, watching all of us and we were like body slamming each other and we go, hey, come on in there, come in and fight with us. He goes, hey, hey, come on, and he had a list. And he was, he thi, and he was, thrown, he's a list. thrown. He's, thi. He's, thi. He's, thi. He's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he was, he's, he's, he's, he's, he was, th. He's, he was, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, th. He's, th. He's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, th. He's, he's, he's, he's, th. He's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he on, come on, and he goes, you guys, I don't talk about it a lot, but I'm on a level four yard, and level four in prison is, it's only violent offenders. And he goes, there's no fights there, because if there's instantly a problem, we go to shanks. My God. So if there's like, hey, Steve's taking, he goes, so I don't slapbox and I've been kind of conditioned, unless you guys have a problem with me, like I don't, I don't want to engage in this.

Oh my God. Oh, niceest guy. They're nicest guy ever. He would draw me pictures, like he was like, he was like, yeah. Dude, that's another of those guys are like legitimately tough. They have to balance it out. Oh, and he was scared of mice. He goes, he goes, Steve, wake up and I'm like what? He goes, there's a mice mouth in there and I go, what do you mean? He goes, it was scattling and fricking and cracking. And he made his gay? No, he was just so hard he could do. their just flamboyant. they. He. He. He was just. He was just. He. He. He was just. He.

They really do. I had a buddy of mine that was a British

Commando who was studying like musical, yeah, he was studying musical theater. Because he had already, you know, he did, I don't know, 12 years with their teams over there or something ridiculous. And he had all these awesome stories about like their training, they trained in every environment. They, Arctic, jungles, desert, mountains, everything. And he would talk about like how he'd get dropped off, like they'd parachute into the jungle. And then have a compass, and that's it, and have to go meet at a rendezvous point a month later. So they would have to survive off everything in the jungle and figure out where they were. And he was like, that was my favorite. I'd get a big beard and eat the bugs and how they would stab bugs,

just drop him down their throat. So like just for protein. But then he played, like, the guy was such a badass. But then also, so profoundly sensitive. Really? When his grandfather passed, I thu And th. th. thuu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. thi. the. the. tho. tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

And, I remember like helping him through it and then he was like, I wrote a song about the experience and it was like he had the voice of an angel like, wow. And then Papa, would sit me on his knee. And I'm like, don't laugh he'll snap your neck. You know, he'd like the real deal man. I love those characters. I've met so many. Dude I used to work graveyard shift at the Hollywood gym I remember out dude dude if you're squatting on a on on LaBrea that's a weird zone right there dude I always would go because I worked at

And for those of you guys who are, you know, obviously most of the people listening are outside of Hollywood. When you see a postcard, you go, welcome to Hollywood, that's not most of what's going on here. Most of what's going on here looks like a really bad part in your city, in your state or wherever you're from. And so you come over to Hollywood where he's, where th, where th, where th, where th, where th, where th, where th, where the th, where th th th th th the th th th th the the th th th th thee the thee the, when the post the, when their to see see see see see see see see their their to see a post to see a post to see a post to see a post their their their their the post the post the post the post the post the post the post the post the post to see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see to see to see th, when th, when th, when th, when th, when th, when th, when th, when th. th. th.

There, you, if you said hi to somebody walking by on the street, it was like, seen a Peeherman, when he's in an alley, you'd, they would hiss back at you. You like, hey, it's a weird spot. It's got a lot better but it used to just be drug dealers on bikes and stuff and LA LA is crazy but what because there's I just want to say it's really it's there it's so many different vibes like there's whatever you want it to be yeah well do you know it's like I've been to Tampa I've been to Miami. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tttttttoda. today. today. they. the the the they. the the the the the I've been to Tampa, I've been to Miami, I've been in New York, I've been at Vegas.

It's a business. It's a business in here. There's just a lot of what I don't There's a lot of sadness. There's a lot of people that need that hug and that's why I'm so grateful for doing comedy because there's something about comedy number one you get to heal people in th th th th th th th th th th. the the th. the their their their their their th. their their their th. their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. theus theus. theus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus th is th is th is th. th is th is th is th is th is th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their their their th. th. th. the the the the their their the their their the the that that the the that the the the the the the the that need that hug and that's why I'm so grateful for doing comedy because there's something about comedy number one you get to heal people in that moment, right? When they're laughing, they're not thinking about their problems. That's magical. But I wonder if you, I think one of the coolest, I think one, the guard drops. Yeah. Because they're just like, oh, this guy gets it. Or I really think that when I say I'm a comedian, they no longer see me, they see the version of whatever they believe a comedian to be.

Like, if they're a Mitch Hedberg fan, they think I do that. That's 100% true. They're automatically, they're like, they're like, they're like, they're like, th. They're like, th. They're like, th. T, th. T, th. T, th. T, th. T, they're like, th. T, they're they're that. T, that. T, they're, they're, they're, that.

You know, I'm so grateful for that. I never thought about that. That is 100% true. People will, what do you do? I'm a comedian, like, oh, hey, what's up? Yeah, it's amazing. You know, it's so great. events for cops and usually I'll get out of whatever ticket they're about the ride. But I always tell them I'm a comic and they're just like, okay, you're not a serious person.

Just look, you're not a wret. Yeah. It happens all the time. I've told, I've told jokes multiple to get out of tickets. I saw you and Skippy Simon both do it. jokes in the front seat we got let off or whatever we were doing. I was with the comic tool remain nameless and we're getting ready for like a long roadship we're gonna go out for a while and soon as we get into Arizona we get pulled over and he just goes like this he goes I'm going to jail I'm like what he was like I don't have a driver's license I was like what?

In Toronto's right over the border. Dude, it's right there. I love it. Torno in the summer is one of the places ever. It is San Francisco with fuckable people.

I say it all the time. It's like, whoa, you're intellectual. You get everything and I'd bone the fucking shit out of you, dude. Oh, there's a lot of hot girls up there. Oh, dude, Canadian girls have like happiness in their eyes. Yeah, it's real. And they're so hot and they're so th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. that. th. tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. the. the. the. the. th went to China, I had a great time, how was your experience recently? It was awesome.

But every time, and I will say this, I don't want to sound like some crazy, love it or leave it, but one of my favorite things about traveling internationally is it really makes me appreciate America. 100%. It makes me appreciate everything we put back into a state of gratitude. Like China was awesome but I started to really talk to everybody and everybody's got to all the expats are kind of like, this could be the morning I wake up and have to go to the embassy or try to figure out how fast I can get out of the country.

Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, man. Their puppet kindthe fake comedy starting to like really crash now do you know what happened dude and it will get into some of your stories American companies would go there build factories and then the Chinese would just rip off all their technology and sell all their shit yeah all the intellectual property so they're like software we can't hold here you've got to stop this government's like we're not stopping anything they're like, okay. Well guess what we're doing now. We're bullying out all of our So this is happening now? Yeah. How long has this been happening for forever? That's what this new trade agreement? How long have we been saying, okay, we're gonna leave there? Well, you know what I think that's a relative, I don't look. I'm a moron. I'm a comedian. I t, I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. this. this. th. this. this. this. this this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this this this this this this this. this this this this this. this. this this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this this this I try to stay ignorant to a lot of things on purpose to stay happy.

But I think a lot of the business climate change sort of political to, I think that's relative, like I think from the anecdotal evidence that I was presented with through very casual conversations where I was not seeking this information and I did not ask more about it. But it seems as if, from a few of the people that I spoke with, that there was a point where partnerships seemed much more sustainable. But they kind of feel like they were duped into believing that there'd be long-term partnerships when it was just a play to have access to intellectual property and how to do it. And now that they feel like they know how to be capitalists and they know your secrets,

they don't need you anymore. And I'm painting with a very broad brush. That's a very negative thing to say. I don't know anything officially. I had a great time doing the shows there. I want to go back. The people were incredible, incredible, but there's something going on there. That you picked up on, your spiny sense. There's something weird here.

It's like, in the Godfather too, right when they're in Cuba? 100% so. I felt like Michael Corleon in Cuba. I did. Yeah, yeah, there are a few little weird things. He's like, Mr. Roth when he jumped on the bomb. Yes. I'll know I have a partner. Oh, Hyman Roth's my favorite.

Hyman. I want a poster of Iron Roth, but I don't know if that will bring in too much darkness to my apartment. But I love the problem. Him with him. He's the tu. too. . sandwiches and turning up the college football game. I was talking business. I love sports. Yeah, the greatest.

He's the best. Adorable. I love him. This is the life that we chose. And whenever I want to give up comedy, I think of that quote. I go, this is the life that we chose. Because it wasn't business. Yeah, it's all. That's the th is is was, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the thi. thi. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th.

Oh great. Every time I get a massage, I think about Mo Green getting shot through his eye. I want to start, all right. Well, I'm not going to talk about it. Why? Come on. You want to start beef with Sam? No, no, no, just the opposite.

It's just interesting how our culture embraces the wrong stuff. Yeah, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to.

It's like, how about, that guy's a saint. He doesn't give anybody any. Yeah. And I think, and I really think that's what we have to start embracing. Like people like, that dude don't give a eh. And it's like, maybe we should start caring more. Because look her, look at our families, there's no more economy. there. And there. There's, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, th. And there, th. And th.

And I this point, like, ugh. Yeah, it is interesting why do we worship darkness? The dark, and like in terms of dating too, it's like, I'm working on this bit right now about how women always ask me for dating advice, but they never want to listen to me. And it's always about this, it's always this bad boy with a big dick. And I'm like, it's not gonna work out.

And they're just, I gotta make it work. And the romantic fucking kamikazes. And they never, until it's too late. I'm attracted to that. And you and I have talked a lot. Yeah, they just don't want to listen to me. You know what I think it is people look. People. to, people. to, people. to, people. to, people. to, people. to, people. to, people. to, people. to, people. to to to the the to the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their, people. the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. their, their, their, their. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. their romantic. their romantic. their romantic, their romantic, their romantic, their, their romantic, their, their, their. their. their. their. their. the be happy. Why? I don't think I think mental problems and I think a part of it is the culture in which we look to consumerism, the materialism, we're

bombarded every I don't watch TV really but advertising was telling you that you're not worthy consistently. Yeah. Because that's what all young people on television about. The most popular shows have people in their late 30s and 40s on them. Yeah. But all you're that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th that's th th th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is thi thi. thi. thi. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th is th is th is th is th. I I I th. I th. I th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi is thi is thi is thi is thi. thi. the is the is te is today. today is today. the. the. the is the is the is the is and 40s on them. But all you're told about is everything's about young people. If you ever watch a commercial dude you'll see a mom who's maybe 25 with kids who are like 12 and 14 years old and that's done specifically so that the mother who has kids who are 12 and 13 14 years old looks at that mom, looks at those kids, goes, those kids are my kids' age,

look how good that mom looks, look at how I look. I need to buy this product, so I'm like that mother. It is literally that diabolical and that fucking sinister on how they operate. Yeah, they think of everything. And I think it's made people, it's like they live, but for real. It's like they really make people feel unhappy. And then when you take that mindset into relationships, you're not seeking somebody that's going to bring you peace or somebody that you can really build a life with you. You're, you sort of, like if you, I believe audiences get to shows they deserve, and I believe people create the life they feel they deserve........ th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the th. their, their, their, their, their, their, they really, they're, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's their, it. It's their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their their their their their their they're really really really really really really they's like, they're really really really really really, it's like, they're really really really, it's like, it's like, it's like, their shows they deserve, and I believe people create the life they feel they deserve. And that is true.

And you really have to make better choices. You have to be aware of what's going on. Well, I just feel like I was a bad person in the first half of my life. And now- You're a hurting person. You're sick person. You're not a bad person. Like how I behave I was I was an animal I was an animal to yeah, but I but see my my point is People that behave that way are hurting. Yeah, and that's how you're seeking and then you're creating the life You feel that you deserve well now now like when you talk about thea?

their toughs. they needed when they were three and people cared about them and asked them about to them, they wouldn't be in prison now, man. Like I hate to sound like some Joe Hippy, but... No, you could do whatever you want on this podcast. Yeah, this is great. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? You know what I mean? I believe, people. A hugge goes a long way.

Look, I am love and hugs solve everything. You got, you know what man? I believe that for sure. I believe that no matter what it is, it's the truth. It's the truth. That's the truth. For all of those people, all of the life's problems, come down to your ability to give love. I feel like I'm unlovable like in a relationship and I have to get over that, bro. I feel like I'm like for the first half of my life how I behaved. I don't deserve to have a good life right now. Like I'm working. You have to. That's what that's what the voice.

That's that's the problem. I went to the. I want to just. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I to. I th. I feel. I feel. I feel. I feel. I feel. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, like, like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, th. th. th. th. the, th. th. the, the, like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm working nonstop. And so I'm like, you know, I went to the outlet stores. And I bought like nice clothes. That's awesome. Yeah, like, I spent like a lot of money on really nice clothes for the next two years, right? I was like, I need, I'm on stage all the time, I need some nice to. I went toing to my brother on the phone and each purchase some you know, look at these, I mean just nice shit. So cool. Cool shit. Like this. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers sneakers. Sneakers. Sneak. Sneak. You're just sneakers. Sneak. Sneak. the sneakers. You're just down fucking what you're talking about. You're like, oh, I know why you said it, because you just want to be mean. No.

I was just telling it shut up get out get out of my head And every like nice experience. I was like ooh I want that jacket's like you don't deserve it. It's just this overwhelming thoub's like? It's just this over? It's not welcome anymore. It's got to go. Yeah, well, you know what? What you're at least acknowledging it's? Oh? At at least at. at. at. at. the least the least the least the least the least the least the least the least the least the least the least the least the least the least th? th? the least th? the th. th. th. th. the the th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. that the the that the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. the the th. the the the the th. the the th. the the th. the the the the the the the the the the they. they. they. they. they. they. they. the they. the the the thi. th. th like, yeah, that'd be nice. And they keep on moving. You go, wait, why don't I. Let me be jealous when someone else has it. Yeah.

You know, it's so interesting? I did a really great show the other day. And I completely judged. A guy asked to do a charity event for Armenians. And I'm going all the time. You said that you love doing them. I well I like doing charity events because I like I like to help people. I don't like performing in them because I have this misconception that crowds are like when I started and they all judged me because I was really honest on stage and back then it was all about being you know fan like a TV clean and, you know, it's observational stuff.

Like what Seinfeld's doing, and Seinfeld is great because that is Seinfeld. Correct. But I was not Seinfeld. And I wanted to be honest on stage and I got, everyone saw me as a super filthy comic. People always said I was trying to shock people. I always just try to be 100% honest on stage. So I have this perception that these, these, these, these, these, these, these, these, these, the, the, throud, throud, throud, throud, throud, throud, throuds, throuds, throuds, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thi, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, thi, thi, thi, th shock people. I always just try to be 100% honest on stage. So I have this perception that these these crowds are, they're gonna come in judging me. But this crowd was like magical. Like I opened up, it was for an elementary school. So it was all parents.

And I opened up with a Coke joke and the place exploded like midway in like a midway into the show laugh opening the show and I'm like this is a good crowd and I just started sleep boom boom boom and everybody went up and just went boom boom boom and I was like this is a magical crossing have you have you guys ever seen this comic name tomar tomar tomar Tamar, Tamar, Tamar. Sounds familiar. The guy who, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tomar Catan. He's very cool.

He annihilated. Yeah, very good guy. I like him. And he annihilated. It was so fun to watch because, you know, I have two reactions to funny people. He's like a person. I get scared first. I get scared and then I want, I need them in my life. That's how I go with everybody. That's how I feel.

Oh, I say, God, this guy's a gunslinger. I need to be friends with this guns. That's how I am, yeah. Because you could go either one of two ways and you see people who see somebody scares them and their first reaction is, I have dude, this guy, and you know, one of the first people I did with it was Steve Byrne and then Bert Kreischer. Bert Kreischer scared me when I first saw him. So I'm like, I have to tell this guy scares me. And I need to be his friend.

Yeah, it's awesome. That's awesome. That's why I was doing it. Gennie. right? So Tracy Morgan used to tell me Don recognized Don. Yeah, so you do that? That's fine. We sit so after show I was talking I'm like, man, I'm seeing you. You were so funny. It was great. He's talking about how his therapists had come to a show. And he goes, he'd watch his act. And he was like, dude, you are amazing. He goes, you don't understand. You are talking to dogs, I don't want to say dogs, they're like sheep on leashes. The crowd is the sheep's on leashes and you are completely free.

You're a tiger and you're saying whatever the fuck you want. And it's so true, man. You know, it's like when you're on stage there's just a super freedom of doing comedy that some people don't understand in the audience, you know, because they're told you don't say this, don't say this, don't say this, don't say this, don't say this, don't say this, don't say this, and you're like, I'm going to say this, why did I still start telling this story? It had something to come up. You were talking about your shoes. Where did it go? And I got my feelings worth, yeah, and being worthy of happiness. I'm embarrassed by that moment still. Why?

Why? Well, I thought you were attacking my shoes. No, you were saying the audience was, you thought the audience was going to attack you at the charity. Yeah, yeah, that's what it is I love you dude. I love you guys. I've watched you for so long and it's just like fun to see somebody who grind it for these kids don't get it. Everybody wants to quit. I'm like just get past. I'm not I want to I want to I want to but you are a legit monster. Oh, thanks. Would you please for I mean just as just as a fan, tell that story in the main room, the Gold's Jim story? Yeah, sure. Dude, that's my number one favorite story. I'm trying to get into that and I realize, you know, what, stories?

Yeah, but like, the best. Yeah, but like, the best. the best, the story is, but thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. T. th.

That's like, I think they're funny. There are, but I've also realized that I've been running so hard to just to create comedy and to work in the industry of writing every, like I meet every day when I'm not doing podcast, I mean with three different groups every day writing three different projects. You know what's him, that's exhausting though. This what I'm starting to realize that. I I I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I can th. I can th. I can't th. I can't th. I can't th. I can't th. I can't th. I can't thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi thi thi. I've thi. I've thi thi thi thi. I've thi thi thi thi thi th. I've th. I've th. I've th.

This is what I'm starting to realize. There's only so much you can do. I'm starting to realize that. I can't say no to people.

Yeah, you got it. Okay. This is what you have to do. Sam. We're so similar. That's why we probably been friends. How does this, I find myself in the same situation over, over, over and over again. Remember Tim McGraw and Nelly had that smash hit of the early 2000. Oh, tremendous. Where is Nelly?

It was Nelly and Tim McGraw's the duets. Oh, I'm so good. If you're out there, we love you. In fact, I'm going to listento put some joy into the world, there's a version of Stuck on You, where Lionel Richie sings it with Hoody, from Hoody and the Blowfish. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, my God.

There's no reason ever be in a bad mood. Yeah, really? Yeah, because Lionel Hoody kills it. Yeah, they're good vibe. Dude, what were we talking about? What is being crazy today? Oh, no. Can I, can the story? I would just want to say, treat yourself as good as you treat other people? I'll just want to say no. to try, treat to to to to to to their, to to to their, their, their, to, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the. the. the, the, theat, t. tod, today, today, today, today, today, today, t, t, t, t, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, tod Yeah, that was my New Year's resolution. I started to treat myself as good as I would treat somebody else. And it's still very difficult for me to do that. But you have to because you're going to wind up having nothing left to give. And creatively, you're not going to be a great stand-up, a great script. Think of all the full-time jobs. the podcast is a full-time job. See it, yeah. If you got to to to to to the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi th. thi thi thi thi that that that threat, threat, threat, threat, threat, threat, threat, threat, threat threat threat threat threat threat, threat, threat, threat, threat, threat, threat. threat. threat. threat. threat. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. the the the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the. thi thi thi. thi. thi. is a full-time job. See it where, yeah. If you got paid for this today, if you were a morning radio guy, you'd be making millions of dollars a year doing the

same thing. Yeah, yeah. Stand up comedy. Booking all this stuff, keeping all your personal assistant work, we have to do. Writing. Yeah. You just talked about cutting auditions out because there's not enough time for everything. And I don't enjoy them. We stuff to live our lives. We still have to live our lives. We still have to find time to read a book, to watch something on tip, to decompress, to cook your meals, to clean your house. And that's the stuff I always, like, if you were to walk into my apartment now, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, we's, we's, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we stuff, we stuff, we stuff, we stuff, we stuff, we stuff, we stuff, we stuff, we stuff, we stuff, we stuff, we stuff, we stuff, we stuff, we stuff, we's, we stuff, we's, we's, we's, we's, we's, we's, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to stuff, to stuff, to, to stuff, to, to to, to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to fold a dirty plate on the table.

that the Ranger story about like they're there they're that's that's the most amazing thing that's ever come out of your Oh you know what I was just thinking about that today would you would you would you would you would you would you would you you you you you you you you tell you tell you would you tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell that tell that that tell today would tod that tell the the today. tell today. today. would toda. would toda. would toda. would tod tod tod the tod the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. the their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. tell th. tell tell th. tell tell tell tell tell today. tell today. today. today. today. today. th. th. th. Yeah, because yeah, I am number one I do believe in heroes and I have so many heroes and I find inspiration in so many people and one of it A huge like anytime I get asked to do something for our military I say yes me too, dude Because those guys they're legit. They're they're real life heroes like yesterday. I was honored. I did a charity event the name of the organization is our OUR Operation Underground Railroad and it's all these badass dudes that go and rescue kids from sex. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. their th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. th. th. th. th. I th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi. I thi. thi. thi. thi. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. I tha. I And it's all these badass dudes that go and rescue kids from sex slavery. No shit. Whoa, hold on. Can you talk about this a little more? Because you did a charity event for them?

Yes. I mean, like, if you ever get need anybody ask me to do it. I want to tell you my sex slavery. Because just 2 million people in slavery right now. It's the large, I think it's the most the world's ever seen. And you have these guys that have these skills like Liam Neeson and Taken, and they're going, and they're rescuing these kids. Where are they going to help them? I'll help them do anything, dude.

Yeah, I try to help people and it just was it was just like it was they were so poorly ran. Yeah this was a good event it was through Cal State Fullerton I'd love to help there's like some awesome professor down there this is what the professor told his kids told his students because the girl he was like pick a charity because this is this is what success he said don't thi thiims of how much money you make, how big your house is or how fast your car is. He was like, that's not success. He goes, success is the positive impact you have on somebody else's life.

And I was like, oh my god, this professor, I wish somebody told me that in college. That's beautiful. So these kids found this charity, Operation Underground Railroad. Yep. All right, I'm gonna look at it. Where these guys going and they rescue these people? They pose as bad guys and then they rescue the kids. Wow, like they come, like get at it, come with me.

Do you guys know? Because my friend Joe Barton, I'm sure. favorite people. You know, a lot of women get kidnapped out of Southern California. Really? Because everybody wants white American girls. So they, like in the Middle East, orange count. Yeah. Dude, I have a friend of mine who. Oh my, that's, that's horrifying. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What a. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's out there. Oh. It's out there. Oh, okay. So we got to support the people. th. th. th. th. the. the. th. the. th. the. the. the. th. the. th. the. the. the. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah........................................................................................................................................... Oh, okay. So we got to support the people that stop it. And some of these guys, like, so whenever I can do the USO, whatever I can for the military. And because like a child, I go, wait, I get to like go entertain the X-Men.

Like, I really feel like these people are superheroes. And it's not just because of the from the military, especially people that have excelled in the military, that didn't have this unbelievable team spirit, altruistic spirit. Like those guys leave the military, then they come out and they just continue to make the world a better place, like amazing people. So sometimes when I do have the time to read, all my books are usually about pro wrestling God or military. One of the books I read was about the Delta Force.

And these guys are legit superheroes. Like stuff that Batman can't do, these guys can legitimately do. And the story I told you about not giving up was about their Rangers? No, it was Delta guys. It was about their selection process and how long of a process it is. And how brutal of a process it is. Where I, and the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, and th, th, th, th, and th, th, thi, thi, and thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi theeea thea thea thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, th about their selection process and how long of a process as it is, and how brutal of a process it is. Where I believe, and I'm getting the details wrong, but the message is this.

They go through, I don't know, how many months of training. Hell. Hell, legitimately hell. And that last week, there's no sleep at all. And they're doing all these tasks. And one. and they're doing all these tasks and one of the things is like, I don't know, like a hundred mile rock through the woods, like through the mountains with BAPAT, all that stuff, but they don't know how they're being, they're all, they're being evaluated, but they don't know how they're being evaluated. And it's similar to my buddy that was the commander, they give you a rendezvous. And th, and then, and then, and then, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and they, they, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, they, but, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, they're they're they're, they're, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, but, but, but, they, but, they, they, but, they, but, they're, but, they're, they. But, but, they're, but, but, but, they're, but, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're they're they're they're they're they're they're, they're, but, but, but, they're, these guys, not everybody made it, so many people gave up along the way. Most people gave up. Oh, yeah, I think their attrition rate.

I think it's something like, let's say if a hundred guys try out for it, maybe two make it. It's unbelievable. Yeah. You show up at that. the final destination. Yeah, so many people give up the movie comes out, the open mics are flooded and then who stays. Right, yeah, that's it. Everything's like that. Dude, no matter who you are, man, no matter what you want.

Backdraft came out, everybody want to be a fireman. You know, until they're like, oh wow, I've got to go into burning buildings and there's no music playing. Dude, my buddy that's. the rendezvous point and they're told, wow, congratulations. You did it. Unfortunately, here, and like they give you a blanket and their feet are bleeding. Like one guy literally left the soles of his feet in his boots. They, you're cold, they give you a plan, and they like, hey man, we're out there

looking for you. We didn't think you were going to make it. This is, I can't, we're, we're, we're so, we're so, we're so thankful, we're so thankful, we're out there looking for you. We didn't think you were going to make it. This is, I can't, we're so thankful that you're alive, but that's the good news. The bad news, unfortunately, we were timing you. And you didn't make it in the amount of time that is necessary to be a member of this elite group. But we're so impressed with what you've done. Do you think you could start over again? Do the whole process, the whole months and months of over again. And most of the guys would, a significant portion after they made it through everything.

And then they're told, and then they're told no. They didn't say how many guys said no that they couldn't do it. But if you said no, you didn't make the team, tha, tha, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, that, that, that, that, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, their, their, tho, their, tho, their, their, their, their, tho, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. th th th th th th th tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. And, th th th th thooooo. And, th th th th th they couldn't do it again. But if you said no, you didn't make the team. If you said, yeah, I'm willing to do it, they're like, okay, congratulations, you're on the team. Oh, that was one last test. Was one last test. Will you go through any legs? Yeah, well, you go through any legs?
