It was the weird Josh, it was like the weirdest fucking thing. And sure enough, you know how somebody lies to you? Yeah. And you call him Friday, I can't meet you, I'm done.
Starting point is 00:27:13 No, he is the address. Went over there, her brother left us, we went downstairs. The brother left? Yeah, we got to make the brother was 22 and she was like maybe 15. You know, if I was 15, 15, I was like 15, 16. Yeah, but she was in the North Bergen school system. I had never met her before,
Starting point is 00:27:31 and I had never heard of this as savage before. Like she was savage. She lived near you, she went to your school. I lived on, my mom was still alive. And she lived on 86th grade or something. And it was fucking crazy. I took a bus up there and met her, went downstairs, took a penny, saw tons of hair, you know, we never... You missed that bus a little bit, you missed them, we never went down on each other.
Starting point is 00:27:57 No? Like at that age, no. We just got together, no condom boom, and then by the time I got the high school she was gone Like she was that much older than me and she was gonna never a letter Never a song Never a Sing the chair a boo nothing nothing just broke not even broke my heart It was the weirdest thing and And so this day it's every one to know. Are you sure she even existed? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:27 She was like a pixie. It was like a month relationship that was all dirty. Like, we went to the movie one time. Like I tried to turn it into a, if you know anything about me. Yeah, I took it to a movie or something. You ever date somebody or hook up with somebody and after you hook up with them, they had something about them that they probably should have let you know ahead of time. The one
Starting point is 00:28:50 and only time I've ever been with a girl who squirted, right? And I went down on her. And I didn't, I had heard of a squirt or before, but I'd never like, do you know what I mean? And when that shit came out. It's tremendous. No, but it fucking, in my mouth was open. And I didn't know exactly, I wasn't expecting it, do you know what I mean? But if you're a squirtier, that's something you kind of gotta let somebody know going into the game. Fuck no, that's a surprise.

Yeah, you want to be surprised No, you don't want to be yes you do you don't ever want nobody to tell you nothing well I guess it kind of depends on the girl like was surprised. No, you don't want to be. Yes, you do. You don't ever want to know the detail or not. Well, I guess it kind of depends on the girl. Like, was it like a girl you don't want to have sex with? No, let me ask you something. If you're going down on a girl and you're a young man, right? And squirting isn't in your brain.
Starting point is 00:29:56 And all of a sudden, a wave of stinky bath water hits you in the face. You're not going to be surprised like, no, you don't want to know Well, cuz here's the thing I grew up with with pornography essentially so like it's almost like it would be like a hidden surprise You'd be like an Easter egg that I'd be like yeah You got a prize like the star for that comment star for that comment are you?

Starting point is 00:40:47 Ask gonna smell like now the guy couldn't fit into the bathroom like frontways He had to turn around and go backwards. You have no idea the thing opens he comes out He walks out like high and all of a sudden the fucking one black Stool is just slams that door and they come out in this the fucking one black store this just slams that door and they come out in this spring oh my god I felt so bad for the Josh fool but I figured out the whole scam they never order kosher food no that was just to get the fucking guy ruffled up and shit yeah and the son's foot wasn't broken they just put a cast on his foot just to fucking know what I'm
Starting point is 00:41:22 knowing we used to do that at Disneyland yeah what put a cast on the kids oh, the kids get to they used to get to pick which one of them wanted to be handicapped for the day. There you go. We used to do that all the time. There you go. We picked what a fucking think you deal with something happened that because he's chubby. He didn't want to be embarrassed. So he made the Sun put on a fake fucking cast and then I saw it wasn't a cast. It wasn't a real white cast. It was a blue one that you put together at home like luggage. What the fuck you think you're dealing with? And I told Matt Lommer, they never even ordered the coach and me. They said that to get the guy ruffled up from the jump. That's how you do it, ladies and gentlemen. You see, when you do blow for three days, Lee, and then you sleep for a day, what do you think when you wake up,
Starting point is 00:42:05 happens the first thing you wake up that time? I don't know. Josh Wolf, don't you have a bunch of boogie snots or sugar, sugar, it's horrible. Yeah. The first thing you do as you're pissing and looking at yourself in the mirror and looking at whoever fell sleeping, your house with doing blowers as you're pissing you're already taking the toilet paper And you snap it and you blow your nose and then maybe it was done cocaine and it's looked at that first blow on the morning I Would take that fucking snot. I wouldn't even blow it. I blow it into my hand Like a savage
Starting point is 00:42:41 And it would come on and peel those last roots out like you have a peel those last pieces. I do like, and it was coming on, I had peel those last roots out. I got to peel those last pieces out. I do like when there's roots. I'll be honest about that. It does feel good. And there was chunkers of coke. I mean, you won't be the line. I can't, you know, I did it. And I did it mostly when I snore.
Starting point is 00:42:55 But anyway, I don't want to talk about this, just after the conversation we had, I thought for an hour, like derises a loss that we had, the falls, the shows to what could of us we're still here 23 years later and Brody's been here 20 of those years with us I mean this is pretty fucking cool that we're still here we sent me that picture of our first lineup together yeah we're still at the store last night
Starting point is 00:43:23 you had a 10 to 9 You had a 10 to 9. I had a 10 to 9. Just to think that this started 23 years ago, and nobody knew what the fuck we're doing. Nobody knew. No, we really knew. But you know, here's what happened is like, the quitter's lose.
Starting point is 00:43:38 That's basically what happened. When we first started, everybody's about as funny. Do you know what I mean? Everybody's the same. I always say that. All right. Listen, there's no. The funniest person on the planet,
Starting point is 00:43:49 his name is Ace Frilly. That's the funniest human being on the planet today. He's a top, top, top up there with Dave Shapel. But it's then it's hard work. And then it's who's going to keep going. That's what it is. When you sent me that picture of that first line up we were on, there was only three names that are still doing comedy. Me, you, and Chappelle. That was the other name on the list of people still doing comedy. That
Starting point is 00:44:13 was it. But here's what happens. People come out here, they come out with a dream, they pick up a time set, and they give themselves a time set or something, and they stick out the comedy store for 10 years and things don't happen. You know what, Josh? Well, they go back to St. Louis. They hook up with family again and if they're real comics, they find a way to make a living. They came, they saw they conquered as long as they could. The Steve Cooper wrote a beautiful Steve Cooper set up. The 20-something years, my dreams didn't come true. I didn't make a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:44:52 But I got to meet a nice people and go back to Philadelphia. And look like a normal human being. You know, he gave it a try. He had a podcast, a successful. You know, I see his V-Store live on Facebook. He's still But here's the thing is we kept what's that word? We kept persevering we kept going dude. No, but the
Starting point is 00:45:15 We know what we kept doing is we kept evolving see We a lot of people come in this a this is what we do and this is what I do and they don't evolve as artists do you so much different dude as as a comic and just like as an artist and as a creative thinker, then you can sit down and write now. Yeah, I love it now. But you never could. I'm ready to go. You could never ever ever do that.
Starting point is 00:45:39 Sit down and write. Fuck no. I'm reading this book that's making me a writing Nazi. So today I went down there and even if it was old jokes, I wrote them out. Just to see where the gaps were in my time in, I gotta go to work, Josh. Well, you know, we wanna get to the next fucking
Starting point is 00:45:56 Sentinel here. But that's the difference. I like giving people a good show. When that half hour is not there, I feel fucking guilty. If I give you the first half-hour on it's new fucking, let's rock and roll. I don't even want you to see my full hour, because I want you to fucking special anyway.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Right. So I'm not showing up with no fucking new hour for you, because half-hour is gonna be on the special. Let me show up with 30 minutes or new shit that's gonna blow your mind. And 20 minutes or old shit or old clothes or whatever, I can accept that. But that's what you were saying earlier on the phone when you were talking about the difference between being
Starting point is 00:46:30 able to tour with an album. We don't tour. Once you put out that special, you can't do it again. We tour to develop that album. And then we put the tour out. We put the special out. And you've already seen three quarters of the material. Because you were there in Buffalo the week before
Starting point is 00:46:46 we fucking shot it. So that was 2000 people that came to that weekend. Also, the people throughout the year or year and a half however long it took you there, you've been working that material on the road. When you put out a special, they're like, oh, we fucking saw that. We saw that special.
Starting point is 00:47:01 Whereas with musicians, they put out the album first and they tour on their out It's complete. It's completely opposite right? Well, I mean don't you think I mean what I would think it has to do with his that comedy has to do a surprise mostly Do you think one to goes down like that? There are some specials that hold up, but I think most of them the first time he watches Gonna be the best time But do you think people want to come and hear jokes from the special? Do you think some people want to hear some of the jokes in special?
Starting point is 00:47:30 A thousand percent I do. I go back to music. I go back to music. And I say to myself, you know what? In fact, I was listening to somebody other day and they went to see Metallica. One of those guys on Aussies bone yard and he said, you know what? I was very disappointed because they played all new stuff. I Wanted to hear puppets or whatever and this and destruction
Starting point is 00:47:51 You know people are gonna let Zeppin that I want to get new shit. They want to get stay with heaven rock and roll Joe we saw we saw Bob Dylan. He didn't play one hit One fucking hit. He played out at that, that concert out in the desert last year with Dylan and the stones and the hoo and all those guys, right? So we went and saw and I was not too excited to see Dylan, but I wanted, as long as he's alive, let's go say and then we've seen him. He didn't play one hit. He didn't play one song and anybody knew. No, he played tangled up in blue, but he rearranged it to the point. And I was like, what the fuck is in blue, but he rearranged it to the point.
Starting point is 00:48:25 And I was like, what the fuck is he doing here? We don't wanna hear your new, if the who would come out and play the new album, we'd have been like, no, no, no, who's next, who are you? That's what we want, that's what we can't be here though. I want you to open up with three songs that blow my fucking heart apart and then take a warm up, talk to us for five minutes
Starting point is 00:48:43 and say, listen, we're telling you people first. We're taking a who on the road next year. This is one of the new songs on the album that's nobody heard. We love you in the end. By the way, that's what the stones did. That's how you sell a new song. You don't sell a new song. I used to get fucking pissed when a band when I wanted to go see and I had a thing in my mind
Starting point is 00:49:10 what they were gonna open up with and they opened up with something different because I heard the night before in Philly and they opened up with this. Like in those days you found out all the Philly opened up with fucking, whatever, hell bent for leather. You're like all right, they can open up a hell bent for leather
Starting point is 00:49:26 in the city. And all your buddies and you were going in, but they'd be like, say, no, they're gonna open up with scream with adventures, but you knew you heard it the night before. They're opening up with hell bent for that. You know, I'll be waiting to see what the answer was. And all of a sudden fucking hell bent for leather.
Starting point is 00:49:41 And your buddies go fuck you, I do know. Fuck you think you're dealing with bitch. I call for a don't feel it hasn't I? You know what I'm saying? So one thing I don't like to go with comedians, I don't mind if you do stuff from the special on the road, but I don't like if you do like one special, and then the next special has the same jokes
Starting point is 00:50:01 as the first special. I've never seen that before. Oh, I have. I don't want to speak bad of him because he was very nice to me, but John Pinnett, he had a couple specials that were just, huh. Russ is so funny.
Starting point is 00:50:12 He was very nice. Funny fucking guy. You know, he was hysterical. And the reason why I hurt me so much was because that was, my family sat down and watched that special. I say na na na. That was one of the funny, I still watch it now. It's
Starting point is 00:50:25 it's hysterical. But it's also different like because if you go see Journey and they don't play you know, don't stop believing whatever your song is you're gonna be fucking mad. But if you go see Shepal, do you want to hear a joke you've already heard or do you want to hear what what he's got now okay I'm a fan of shepal since before the fucking show the show okay I remember one of the sounds before that or something and that was it I saw two of the three specials that are in Netflix but let's pretend I was a fan of Shepal from the show and I was paying 65 something dollars for these tickets. I know Shepal is brilliant enough that he's gonna do the first 30 is new stuff because Shepal could do it. He does it
Starting point is 00:51:20 very nice. His first 30 is always new. You got nothing to lose. No. He takes you in direction for 25 minutes. An old joke. He redugs it. What do you give a fuck? The audience is laughing. The show's over.
Starting point is 00:51:37 That's what you went to see. You know, if you go on the board, got a web page. I'm the cheapest ticket for a comic. There are comics there that charge a lot of money. And I got to answer, I got some bad ass credits. And they got a lot of money. I could have raised those tickets. But I don't see it.
Starting point is 00:51:54 They're talking themselves out of a market. You know, I used to tour the cable guy, right? So his theory was always, his ticket was never more than 4750. Didn't matter where the seat was didn't matter anything 4750 was the price of the ticket because his deal was I would rather Have more fans. I don't want to price my I don't want to give a hundred dollar ticket I'd rather sell 10,000 tickets at the 50 then 5,000 tickets at the hundred because one more fans But two that's twice as many people buying merch Do you know what I mean and like you're not pricing people out you're not making them feel bad about buying the ticket
Starting point is 00:52:33 No, that's you that's the smart thing to do because you keep your fans your fans never think that you're Raising the prices above them. It's definitely the way to go, but dude he used to do I places above them. It's definitely the way to go. But dude, he used to do, I mean, we sold, we, he sold 53,000 tickets. He sold out that in a brand, that Cornhusker Stadium. Because he couldn't do the whole stadium because the stage was up against one of the walls.
Starting point is 00:52:58 He sold 53,000 fucking tickets. The cab will go. Larry the cable guy. 53,000 in that stadium, ancient pound. Larry the cable guy. $53,000 in that stadium, and then he donated the tickets, whatever he made off the tickets to a charity. Didn't keep it, didn't keep it, his cut, he donated it all.
Starting point is 00:53:16 $53,000 on the 4th of July. What do you do after that? They postponed the fireworks, until the next night, because he did it on the four, and everybody at the 10th of town was in I Think I'm remembering that right somebody might correct me, but I'm pretty sure that's what happened They moved it one night because he wanted to do his show on the 4th of July That's how many fucking people were there. They moved the fireworks. Oh, and dude somebody
Starting point is 00:53:43 So many this old dude was parachuting into the stadium, right? They pretending to be him, right? And dressed like him, and it was his last jump out of a plane ever, right? And this was his big retirement jump. So he jumps out of the plane, he's dressed as Larry, and you hear the voice over, I'm coming down, everybody, you know what ever it is.
Starting point is 00:54:03 And then the wind kicks up. And we're like, oh no. You can see him start to do the pulleys. You know what I mean? And we're like, no, he's gonna overshoot this because he's supposed to land on the grass. Hit the grass running, run behind the stage, and then take his the parachute off, and then Larry runs out on stage dressed the same way. So it looks like he, well, he overshot the grass by about 15 yards and landed straight into the empty cement bleachers. Broke his coccyc, coccyc, you know that thing that, basically I think is your pelvic bone, right?
Starting point is 00:54:40 The coccyc, but the show couldn't start until he got up and ran behind the stage. So we're like, we're watching the window and I'm like, oh, he's not going to make it. He's starting to do the pulley things, do the pulley things and he hits that cement. And we were all everyone in the stands thought it was like part of the thing. So everyone in stadium was like, and we were all like, oh, no. no and he kind of you could see him kind of struggled to get up And he kind of waves his hand over because he's got a broken coccyx But everyone on the production team's like no you get to come over here, right? Oh my god dude rolls over
Starting point is 00:55:16 And listen and rolls over this was his retirement jump. He was like 68 years old, right? This is where he was gonna wave goodbye to everybody. They're gonna let him die in there. He crashes into the bleachers and he finally makes it behind and collapses and they fix up his whatever pull-out and fucking ambulance. But uh, poor old fella, that was his last jump. I bet there was someone in the ambulance like I know you hurt yourself But next time you you really should have just ran a little fast. Oh, no, you should when the wind kicked up Everybody in production was like this is not gonna end well for this guy. This is not good for him
Starting point is 00:55:57 But doing comedy in front of that many people was terrible I think that the comedy's not made for that that size crap because the I think that the comedy's not made for that size crowd because the the laughter would come and then I'd start my joke again and then the laughter would come for the people that far away. I don't care how big you get it. That's just a little too big for me. You don't have control. No. What's your what's the size you like the most? 400 seats in a small comedy club with bricks. Old school like the underground. You know, I know there's a lot of comics that listen to the show.

You know, it's just to let you people know what the real struggle. And we're still here. This is fucking real. He moved to LA maybe six or seven months before I did.
