Hey. Is it rolling? We might be drunk. We're here. We're queer. Happy holidays. Happy Kwanzaa. Hanukkah.

Festival of Lights. How do you put Kwanzaa before Hanukkah? Wow. White guilt. Tough year. I didn't. It wasn't in Germany. I'm sure they put it before.

So you're not hungover for once. And Mark is. That's not what I meant when I said that. Mark's very hungover. Yes. I said what's frightening is how not hungover I am, meaning I should be, the way I drank last night, I should be extraordinarily hungover. And the way I am bouncing back from... I don't know what to say, man.

You got alcohol lips. I know those lips. That's a dry lip. Your body has no moisture. Do you get the thing when you're hungover? Because this has been happening to me and it scares the shit out of me, but yet it won't stop me. Yeah. I wake up after a night of drinking at 6 a.m.

My mouth is bone dry. Yes. And my heart is going like... Yes my heart is going like wildly fast. And I'm like, oh, my God. I'm so with you, and it's nice to hear that. And then the anxiety is looming, and you can't go back to bed. You're sitting there going, I got married. What did I do?

I know. I give it a year. This is the saddest Santa of all time. You ever wake up after a Coke bender? You're like, fuck, Santa's falling off, man. Fucking Bad Santa Part 3, baby. Sad Santa. Sad Santa.

Sad Santa. Oh, let's pitch it. Bad Santa 3, Sad Santa. There you go. Dude. Monster by Zoloft. So where do you drink? Well, I own a bar, so.

Ooh. We had Mike Cannon guest bartending last night. What? You guys should come down and do that sometime. It's fun. Is he doing that badly? Is he struggling that bad? You wouldn't do that?

I'll drink at your bar. I don't want to bartend. Yeah. That's a job. You stay out there for two hours and you give out a... You're trying to get us to do free labor for you. Yeah. There's a bartender back there with you.

Yeah. What are you, Tim Cook? Or a couple free shots. It's just a fucking party. I'll tell you what. Come in and drink. And if you feel like hopping back there and pouring a drink, you're allowed to.

He can make a mean old-fashioned. Yeah. I make the easy ones. Hey. Yeah, we had canon guest bartending and I went in

to hang out for that and then just oddly, like a lot of friends started texting me like, hey, are you at the bar? So Brooks Whalen came by. Is he in town? He left today. Ah. But the bar so brooks whalen came by is he in town yeah

That's pretty cool. Was that a great show? It was amazing. We stood against the stage. Wow. I was standing so close that I took my drink and I went to set it down. And I almost put it on the platform that Gene Simmons stood on. Jesus.

running behind or some shit the The time's always getting cut. I know. It's hard to work on new shit. So then you just force it in. Then you eat, you know, but you don't want to eat it either. Yeah. The best case scenario is like I was at the stand on Monday night. I had a few pops in me because I did Legion of Skanks.

Oh, boy. I was pretty fucked up. And then Aaron was like, you want to go on Frantic? And I was like, yeah, sure. And I just got to go up, do? And I was like, yeah, sure. And I just got to go up, do 10 minutes. I worked on one new joke, had a great set. I was like, this is how I always want to do it.

That's nice. That commitment, I start thinking on Monday about the sets on Wednesday. I'm like, oh, God damn it, man. Like, it just hangs over me. I have that, too, with the avails. You know, the seller's like, hey, put your avails in every week. And on Sunday or whenever the hell you put them in, I'm like, I don't know. I can't figure that out. That's like two weeks ahead.

Yeah. I'm like, I don't know where I'm going to be in two weeks. Exactly. The seller's got that system where it's like, you put in this Wednesday for the following Thursday through the second Tuesday. Brain twister. He's a riddle. Remember when we used to do the voicemail?

That was the one where I'm like, I remember Mark used to call, and he would just like, we were young comics just dying for spots, and Mark would be like, SD, how are you? Go Yankees. You know? Just kissing up for spots. I had Havana Gila playing in the background. I was just trying to play ball here. Yeah, I remember she would call you with your spots.

Terrifying. Yeah. She would, like, now they just text it or email it. What a bad system. Actually, I didn't work there when that was the system. play ball here yeah i remember she would call you with your spots terrifying yeah she would like now they just texted or email it what actually i didn't work there when that was the system i worked there in this new i didn't work there till 2019 really whoa what happened with you in the cellar nothing there's no well there's no there's actually there is a story in the book there we go you fucked esty no no no no, no. Noam? There was no.

I was always friends with the club. Noam and I had a weird thing where he played like a prank on me. He's the owner. This is getting pretty inside here. Yeah, sorry. He played a prank on me, and I got very mad at him. And I was like, you know what, dude? And there was some tension for a few minutes.

Can we hear the prank? I wasn't working at the club. It was at a time in my career where I would have very much liked to have been working at the club. I think I had been passed, and then it didn't last very long. I don't know. I wasn't where I wanted to be in the business, and I really wanted to be working there at that time. And, Noam, if you see this, Noam, we're all good. We're fine.

He's not going to say that. I'm not telling this story to disparage you in any way, but also to the viewers. I'm not saying this to disparage Noam. Oh, boy. This is just what happened. Okay. And he apologized, and we've totally been fine for years. Spit it out you egyptian

i get a text okay i'm at gotham doing a spot and my i get off stage and you know you go sit on those booths on the side for me and i was sitting there and i get a text and uh it's it's from the something like hey um we we had a fallout or something like that you know can can you come down here and do a set and i was like yes yes it's like a friday night i was like yes yeah finally right so i literally rushed to the cellar i'm all excited i get there and gnome goes there's no spot i just wanted to show everybody your terrible tattoo oh and i was like are you fucking kidding me that's a double zinc not a good prank yeah i was like are you kidding me and he was like he's like come on we're bust come on we bust balls i was like you had a tattoo of

niles yeah kelsey grammar was there yeah he's a grammar nazi and uh and uh you know somebody tried to do that on a TV show? What's that? Kelsey Grammar Nazi? I forget the guy's name. The guy did that prank show. Ashton Kutcher. The guy whose brother is the singer in the Scissor Sisters.

He had a prank. What the fuck? I know. That's supposed to help me? Anyway, he had a prank TV show, and he tried to do a sketch called Grammar Nazi with Kelsey. Kelsey Grammar said no. We'll get him to do it. Okay, so you come down there

and who's laughing at you? Who's down there? I don't remember who he was sitting with. I think it was a couple comics or something. I don't remember. That's not a good, that's not a cool. No, it was not cool. And later he very sincerely and heartfelt, like he goes, dude,

I'm really sorry. You know how we are in here. You guys all trash each other. I really thought it was just like going to be this funny thing. It was not a good move. I'm really – and I go, dude, it's totally fine. What he could have just done is told Esty to give you a spot and had everyone there. And that way he still could have done the prank without hurting you.

Anyway, years later I passed. and i still have the tattoo there you go which tattoo is this and actually i got it covered and redone not because of that because i never was that crazy about it okay i had i have the tattoo here yeah kk k kicking them in the nuts k-k-t-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K- I like it. And I got the letters tattooed on my arm because I was like, what a great reminder to sort of glance down at your arm every time you feel like shit. Wow. I was going to slit. And then I saw the tattoo. So I had it here, but I had it. It looked it did look Aryan, the font I chose.

Mike Yard, in fact, at one point was like, what the fuck is that, man? I was like, this is this is bad. I fucked up. I did this wrong. So I got it covered up and redone here. But the joke, part of what fueled Gnome's joke was Metzger kept telling this story. Actually, Metzger might have been there when this happened. Metzger kept telling the story to everybody of like, and DeRosa thought that this was advice just to him but he says it there and i go i

never thought that like you're just you're making up your version of this so it's funny for you to tell i was like but i never there's like i i i knew what it was right right and um and so that was the that was the joke of the tattoo for the prank that Noam played. Kurt Metzger, I was in the car and some of his, it's like Sirius is playing, some of his old shit came on and man, there were some killer jokes. Oh, he was brilliant. He had the joke about the banking crisis and he goes like, I understand what they did because like, think about what you do in Monopoly.

Like you step over your own mother's throat. You'll steal money from her and that's a fucking game. Yeah think about someone you don't care about like that's a fucking brilliant wow what a take observation did yours joke i mean i'm not gonna do it justice's new joke about uh trans trans where he goes he goes there's a lot of debate about whether or not people think trans women are actually women and he's like uh i forget how he sets it up it's he does something where he goes he goes they i don't think they are women i think they are actually improved women have you watched them in sports it's not even close oh man he's so funny he's a great man i love his bit about uh like black dick is just a big part of why you don't want to go to prison.

And he's like, Black Dick is now part of the judicial system. I'm so scared of Black Dick getting in my ass in the shower that I'm not going to steal this candy bar. The other thing about going to, I think it's part of that bit where he's like, how are you so scared to go to prison to get raped? He's like, but there's people going there who are like, I can't wait to rape people. Oh, wow. That's a take. Do you guys want to?

I had it. This bit never worked. It was about prison rape. Yeah. I was like, here's the weird thing about rape. The people in society that are most terrified of rape are women, obviously. Uh-huh. The safest place a woman could be is prison.

She will never get raped in prison. Wow. Unless it's a trans inmate. Well, but this is 10 years ago. Okay. Women don't rape other women. Yeah. Men are the rapists.

Then they go to jail, and then they get raped. It's a startling irony to me in all honesty. I see what you're saying. There must be female rape in prison. How? What are you, a scissor? How does that work? I think women have sex with guards and that's considered rape because it's a power dynamic.

Eww. Could you imagine? I mean, I don't mean in a consensual way. Yeah. I can't think of anything hotter than if I was a prison guard and a hot inmate was like, I want you to go fuck me like in the showers. It's a porno plot. I would.

Oh, my God. That is hot. Very hot. Hot stuff. And then you could just lock her up after. You don't have to call. Sorry. Sorry, lady.

Sorry. I didn't call, but you're in prison. Do you want to cuddle? I have to call you know sorry sorry lady sorry i didn't call but you're in prison what do you want to cuddle i i have to do my job yeah yeah let me do my job exactly um do you guys want to hear what i believe is the most perfect joke ever written all right i assume it's not yours oh okay come on lay it on me put these glasses on all the time it's a whole different mark uh it's ron white yeah i think it's a new joke i saw him telling it skank fest um i i told it to some people last i was like i think it's literally the most perfect joke i've ever heard i always say he's the super underrated um here it is you know how to tell the difference between a rich kid and a poor kid

it's how they ask the question do you know who my father is oh that is great that's that's great it is wow it's perfect it took me a second but it's perfect that's you don't even have to finish it that's it that's the joke that's great hear it in his uh in his delivery too you just picture him delivering that's man he's great i picture him saying that sitting back taking a sip and just letting it kill he's got another one of mine he's a bit the cheating in columbus bit where it's like uh he defends cheating he's like my wife got that crazy idea in her head that i cheated on her in columbus and i didn't i'll tell you why like just that he opens it by being like i did it and then the whole part of the bit was like a woman was like uh you know uh let's uh let's have a drink and he goes oh i can't i'm married she goes no come come

to my uh hotel room and have a drink with me and he goes you know that little fella that pops in your shoulder and reminds you of your past commitment and your moral fortitude well i didn't hear a peep out of him that's a great fucking bit what a great fact that like you open a bit pushing the audience away but being like i cheated and you know his crowd is probably a lot of married people yeah and then by the end they're fucking dying that's funny he's a he's a great i was drunk in public album oh you put me in public right before the uh right before that set where i saw him tell that joke i was talking to him backstage a little bit at skank fest i just went up to him because i'd

seen him the night before in the green room and i was tanked when i saw him and he's sober now yeah well he's california sober weed he does he's done mushrooms oh okay it was just every other drug now yeah well that's what everybody does they quit booze then they they still like will take i don't know if he still does well this is evil that's why i mean it kills your body cut this cut this story okay well yeah i hate you didn't even say anything yet he wasn't i don't think oh i see i don't think this is a secret oh fuck yeah let's cut it we'll cut it we'll cut it sorry something about podcasts now you just don't think this is... Oh, I see. I don't think this is a secret. Oh, fuck it. Yeah, let's cut it. We'll cut it.

We'll cut it. Sorry. That's the tough thing about podcasts now. You just don't know. Say what you will about this cat, but he's got one of the best cheating jokes, Pat Dixon. His old stuff was unreal where he said, a lot of people say, how the hell does cheating happen? Well, I'll tell you how it happens.

A guy meets a woman and she's nice and that's it. That's great. All right. I love that. I love those types of jokes where it's just like they just end prematurely. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's good stuff. Dixon used to have a joke where he said, you know, it's going to be a good blowjob when she puts the breathe right strip on her nose.

That's killer. And he's like, he's got that great joke he's like women like when you send flowers to work you know they can smell them they smell great women love flowers man i wish you could send pussy to work you know they're they're they're pretty and they smell and that's it the minus great makes it a joke i agree agree. So you got Carlin saying, kick him in the nuts. I did a set once where it was like a little shaky. I was killing, and then I went a little dark, and I lost him. And Bill Burr was in the wings.

I didn't know. And he goes, fuck this crowd. Keep saying crazy shit. And then he went on. And that meant the world to me. And then Mark got it tattooed right here. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

All right. Well, that's cool. It's all the way down my leg. Keep saying crazy shit tattooed right here. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. All right. Well, that's cool. It's all the way down my leg. Keep saying crazy shit. All right. That's cool. That's a nice moment. You need, yeah, when you're fucking eating shit as a young comic, you need just like

anything. Because there's no worse feeling than having a bad set and seeing a comic you fucking love in the wings. Oh, God. I know. I know. I'll even see an open mic-er the wings and i'm like better bring the heat i gotta kick it up a notch burr changed my whole trajectory oh yeah literally how so

with one set i was doing the old gotham uh i remember at the time i had a bit about i was very young and i had a bit about um text mess how much i hated text messages and i was screaming about how much i hated probably in the t9 days too yeah and uh i i uh i killed i killed so hard and i was when i first became friends with bill and he he came in we're gonna go out drinking and i looked up and i saw him like watching as i was killing i was like oh yeah you know and uh and i got off stage and i'm waiting for the like dude great job you know yeah and he goes hey let me ask you a question dude when are you gonna actually start talking about what you're actually angry oh you can be angry about text and i go what do you mean and he goes

you're not that fucking mad about text messaging. Wow. And I go, yeah, but. And he goes, DeRosa, you killed. But I'm going to tell you right now, you don't want to become the angry guy. Whoa. That's fake. Start talking about what you're really upset about.

And it was hard to swallow in the moment. And it changed everything immediately. I was like, okay everything immediately i was like okay and i was like you're right i can't pretend to be mad yeah you know but you are the angry guy like in real life yeah but but also to uh it was it was that and then evan steinberg my first manager said to me he goes you're not angry you're dejected there's a difference that's a good way to put it yeah and i was like so those two pieces of advice really shaped like I was like, yeah, it's not about going up and being like, and let me because there's those comics.

And I'll tell you another thing. That's bullshit, people. Yeah. You've seen these pull tabs on the new juice boxes. You know what I mean? Like the guy who's angry about socks. Yeah. Yeah.

Let me tell you about these fucking ankle socks. Jesus. Why? They're just socks. My ankle's angry about socks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me tell you about these fucking ankle socks. Oh, Jesus. Why? They're just socks. My ankle's cold. Yeah. You see this prime two-day delivery bullshit? You're like.

But I was like. You have to always be that guy. Yeah, yeah. And I was like, oh, yeah, I don't want to be that guy. I want to be the guy that talks about what actually does annoy me or pisses me off. And in the moment, if I'm talking about it and i start to get worked up then i start to get worked up that's real and if i don't then i don't i can still talk about it it's but that's like in acting like a lot there's acting techniques where it's like you don't go in

going i am going to get angry right you go in saying this is what my goal is and wherever the scene takes me emotionally it could be anger or tears or laughter or whatever. And that's the way I look at stand-up too. My goal is to get a certain reaction out of you and I'm going to be emotionally present. And sometimes that reaction or that experience makes you get a little aggravated. Sometimes it's jovial. Sometimes it's a little more deadpan. I don't know.

I don't think of you as an angry person. I feel like angry people when I'm around them, they drain me. And you're not a draining person. Irritated, maybe? Yeah, you're definitely irritated. I think it's definitely a little. But irritation is funny. To be in a constant state of irritation is funny.

Good point. I think it's definitely a little. It's more like in the Larry David zone of just like, I can't let it go. Everything is annoying. You know what I mean? I do get too upset about certain things, but at the end of the day,

I'm not a cunt. What's the last thing you got really pissed off about? Mmm, Hamas. Actually, he didn't mind that. I heard a woman say, I follow all these women on YouTube

that tell you what they think is hot about men. It feels like everybody hates men. So when a woman's like, this is what's sexy about men, I'm like, all right, finally. But she said when a guy gets angry, that's hot. Because it's like dominance and he tells you how he feels. How about when they're dejected? Is that hot? Dejected is no good.

I think if you get the right kind of angry in front of a woman. I had a girl once with me at the bar and all this shit was going wrong and i was like and i and it was we were kind of like on a date and i like had to leave i had to leave her sitting and i was walking back and i kept coming back and sitting with her and then something else and i'd be like this fucking never fucking ends. Jesus fucking Christ. And I would get up again. And I'd come back and be like, I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry.

Are you fucking kidding me? You know? And then, like, after, she's like, I kind of thought it was, like, hot. There you go. She was like, you're, like, taking charge of shit. I was like, oh, that's cool. Exactly. Yeah, that's because you own the bar.

That helps. If you're just an angry dude in the corner, it would not be hot. Well, that would have made sense. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Guys angry. What do you mean we're out just an angry dude in the corner, it would not be hot. Well, that would have made sense. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Guy's angry. What do you mean we're out of these fucking glasses? I just bought these things.

No, you didn't. You're just drinking here. What are you talking about? You're in control. That's why it's hot. Yeah, that helps. The last thing, this is the kind of shit that sets me off. I was trying to book my Uber here, and I was getting nervous because of traffic, and I

didn't want to be late. And I was trying to, like, I pulled up the address and then all of a sudden that red thing came up at the top that's like, sorry, we can't connect to the network. And I was like, son of a bitch. And then I backed out of the app and then I went back in and then it wouldn't, like, you know, when it shows the address but you're hitting it and it's not recognizing it.

And I go, what the? And then the five star rating for my last driver popped up. And I just go, fucking get the fuck off the screen, man. God damn it. Like stuff like that will make me crazy.

Yeah, no, I'm with you on that. Like networking because we're so used to it now. You know what annoyed me recently? And this is so stupid, but it bugs me, that fucking Burger King ad, that jingle where they're like,

BK, have it your way you rule that's such a pandering fucking ad i hate pandering i know but it bugs me you rule it's like they're trying too hard that's not how you feel after you eat burger king true you see worth in yourself sam thank you by the way i just found out that push a t good bartender wrote dodo-do, I'm loving it. Get the fuck out of here. Yes, Pusha T, the rapper, wrote that. Whoa. That's not true. Pull it up.

That's a great made-up fact, though. Yeah. There's no way that that is true. He's set for life if that is true. Pusha T wrote the McDonald's infamous song. What? Oh! What? Dude! What?

Did you know that Neil Young wrote... Well, hold on, hold on. Did you know that Neil Young wrote Liberty, Liberty, Liberty? That's a Neil Young jam. Wait a second, wait a second. Go to the... Hold on a second. Did you know that R. Kelly wrote Eat Fresh?

Boy, there you go. Look at that. I got a drink with a Pringle on the side of the glass. What do you got here? I'm digging this. Now we're talking. Yeah, there we go. Apple whiskey?

It's basically like an apple passion. That's very good. Dude, I remember, man, all the athletes they love like the honey whiskey and shit you know i remember i was in a in a bar in milwaukee in a fucking nick sweatshirt like many years ago and they tell me latrell spreewell goes to this bar every night and he's my favorite player as a kid and i'm like yeah he doesn't come here every night he's there every fucking night and he walks in and i'm'm like, holy shit, Sprewell. So I'm like, I'm a young, dumb comic.

I go up to him and I'm like, Mr. Sprewell, I'm a huge fan. And he's like, okay. And I was like, I'm scrambling in my head. I'm like, can I get you a drink? He goes, already got a drink. He's got his apple whiskey or whatever. Yeah. Honey whiskey or whatever.

And I say, well, I'm like like i've only had options in a way to connect and i just panic i was like i'm playing the comedy club next door and he goes i go it'd be cool if you came to a show and he goes don't count on it oh and i'm like oh my god and then i i walk away i was like that was brutal that's like a childhood hero and then um another guy there with us we didn't it was like a like a girl a girl who's hosting's boyfriend was like, I work for Bleacher Report. Let me handle this. He walks in and all I see is Spreewell going. And I'm like, well, he got it worse than me.

Whatever. Thank God. And then I was like, man, that was kind of a bummer. I do the shows for the weekend. At the end of the weekend, the bartender was like, oh, man, I saw Spree. He wasn't too friendly. I was like, yeah, he's a good guy. He's just a little rough around the edges. she goes i'm texting him right now i said i was at the

comedian you met the other night show and uh it was actually a really good show and spree spree writes back immediately yeah i met him the other night great guy oh i got the nice version wow but then i met him years later like when i had the msg show and he was he was pretty friendly but i was like man that was a fucking, when you just freeze with someone you like, there's no sadder moment. What was the contract he turned down?

Three years, 21 million. When players weren't getting that shit. And what was his reason? This was the quote that went viral. He goes,

I gotta feed my kids. Nah. So now people would yell that at him. So it was bad. You know? Because he never got a contract after that.

He turned that down and no other team offered him shit. And he was still good. Wow. But I loved him, dude. He was my guy. Jesus. He was a great player. He was.

What happened? Choked his coach. In Golden State, he – no, no. He's retired. But in Golden State, he choked his coach because they got a disagreement. PJ Carlissimo. The Knicks pick him up. And it's one of the things where you're like, this could be bad.

He was awesome for us. Pull it up. Oh, yeah. He was the fucking man. Is the choke on TV? No, it was in practice. Oh, it was in practice. But he was a fucking beast.

Whoa. I've never even heard the man's name until right now. That's him. Yeah, he was a badass. Damn, you're lucky he didn't choke you out. I've never even heard the man's name until right now. That's him, yeah. He was a badass. Damn, you're lucky he didn't choke you out. I know. I don't know anything about anything. This is, like, the way you love comic books, I love basketball.

Okay. I don't, well, comic books, not, yeah, but. Video games, horror movies. Video games, horror movies, okay. All right, there we go. See, we can connect. We can connect. There you go.

I get it. This is your leather face. I heard you. I heard you talking about the Tales from the Crypt thing, and I'm like, I get the passion. I got a second one. Did you? Yeah. Remember when we... Because I was with you when I won the auction for the first one, and I bought a second one

that has my favorite Tales from the Crypt story ever in it, and it was double what the first one cost. Which issue? That's a great question. is on this it was like i think it's issue number 32 and it contains a story called counting cards nerd alert uh i'll know the cover when you show it to me wow look at this you ever see bordello of blood with dennis miller terrible movie It's that one with the elephant on the cover. Yep. Uh-oh.

Yeah, it's a terrible movie. But I like the Dennis Miller parts. Yeah, yeah. Dennis Miller is really funny in it. I'm a huge Dennis Miller fan. Dude. I really wish he would do stand-up again. I did his show once when he had it. He took over Larry King's show on whatever.

I don't know what network it was even on, but he took it over. He was cool as shit. Yeah. He's so fucking funny, man. So quick. I don't know what network it was even on, but he took it over. He was cool as shit. Yeah. He's so fucking funny, man. So quick. I did his show two days before COVID. Yeah. It was like two days before the fucking country shut down.

And I remember him being like, oh, yeah, I got myself a little COVID drip. Like, he just kept making jokes about it. He's like, yeah, give me a break. Like, anything's going to happen. I was like, yeah. The whole fucking world shut down. He's so funny. He had that line. He goes, Capri Sun, that's harder to get into than martha stewart on some dirty sheets

my favorite dennis miller well one of my favorite days he goes uh he i gotta try to remember the wording so good it's all about the wording he goes uh he goes he goes i got into a cab in France. The cab driver smelled like he was getting a permanent while eating garganzola in a meat processing plant. I go, hey, pal, there's an extra Finski in it if you run over a fucking skunk. Man. I mean, it's like, Jesus Christ.esus wow there's so many adjectives in that garganzola the skunk i mean uh dipalo has a little of that i saw dipalo hand a guy the camera in the front

he goes get a get a few uh get a few shots of me and he goes i took the camera home it was like i gave it to michael j fox shirtless at a windstorm on a mechanical bull. He just keeps going. Yeah, how many things can you pepper in there? It just keeps getting funnier. Nick always finds the funniest word choice. Yeah. It's like, you know, it'll be like, I saw a homeless, you know, he had the one about the homeless guy sleeping and he goes, you know, I got an $800 mattress at home.

This guy's sleeping like a baby on a Heineken bottle. A broken Heineken bottle. A broken Heineken. Yeah. I just sent you one, Salacuse. I saw this, like, our buddy Mike Lawrence co-wrote this on SNL. This cracked me the fuck up. Great writer, Mike Lawrence.

Dude, he's so funny. I didn't know Mike was writing for SNL. He did it when Pete hosted. I texted DePaulo the other day. He had a thing on Instagram. One of his clips was podcasts. And he goes he goes so this is a story about men that start relationships according to the writer men who

start toxic don't put the word toxic in there don't tell me what i think whore who wrote it whore who wrote it i texted him i go dude i'm losing my shit at this fucking clip. And I just wrote in quotes, whore who wrote it. And he goes, that's my favorite line. I remember I saw Nick once and he had a line in a Howard Stern roast years ago where he goes, yeah, Howard comes from a long line of thick skinned Jews. You don't believe me? I go to visit his relatives in a lampshade factory in Auschwitz. Oh! And I mention it to him, and he goes, oh, that line came to me, like, right outside

the fucking venue. Jesus! Jesus Christ. That came to you? That's hilarious. He would get the thing I sent you, Sal? He was a master of the roast stuff, man. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, he had, oh, man, he had, the roast jokes he did on, like, the Pam Anderson roast were fucking insane. Oh, yeah. he had a... The roast jokes he did on, like, the Pam Anderson roast were fucking insane. Oh, yeah. He was ruthless. He's like, I don't want to say Lisa Lampanelli fucks a lot of black guys, but they all call her on her sickle cell. He had one, he goes, Pam Anderson, your movies are so bad. If someone was like, would you rather watch one of your films or watch a baby seal club

to death? I'd be like, call J-Lo and tell her Mittens are ready. Oh, Mittens. Come on. That's the funniest fucking ready. Oh, mittens. Come on. That's the funniest fucking name. Man, oh, man. He was made for those types of ghosts. He was so good.

My favorite joke of his of all time, it was a one-two he did on a set. He goes, I was listening to some hip-hop music today. Not by choice. It was coming out of a Jeep five blocks away from me. And then he goes, speaking of music, do you guys see Jerry Garcia died? They said he was 55.

I thought he was in his late hundreds. He's an angry guy. Yeah. No, that's not what I sent you. It's coming up here. Oh, yeah. Okay. So wait, what is this?

Oh, this is great. What is this? Yeah, the kids. Yeah, watch this shit. This is from the Chris Rock show, though, isn't it? Oh, no. It's from SNL. He's dressed like a 90s kid. Oh, I thought this was from the old Chris Rock show.

What up, Harlem? Man, you know when substitute teachers try to act like they're all that? It's like, girl, since you're a big-ass girl, get put on a movie. Well, what is the premise here? No, no, no, no. It was just the kids. I sent you a different thing, dude. These guys are funny, the Please Don't Destroy guys. Wait a minute.

I think the original thing, though, where he's the kid is from the chris rock show is it yeah really yeah and i think they took that and they're doing a sketch about that on snl no because lawrence told me he wrote one of the lines in there okay that is a new thing yeah that's the one yeah i've seen that's not what i said i've seen the one where it's just the it's just like the trailer for the show i know what you're talking about yeah yeah it's fucking hilarious all right yeah yeah but it's not going back to pete it was just that huh well we'll find it so i sent it to you oh wow this gets this gets awkward when sam starts yelling at the jesus i never saw this side of you sam oh. Oh, well, it's him around Christmas. I'm just kidding.

I'm just kidding. You took that really seriously. I was just joking. Sam goes, sorry. It's the holidays. I'm trying to be nice here. Yeah, well. Sorry, Salamon.

Look at this guy. He's manspreading on the couch. He's mansplaining to you. Oh, man. This is man. Toxic, toxic male. We have a guest coming. What happened with him?

He said he's going to be here at 2.45. Oh. Who's the other... Or is that the surprise? No, no. We got Dennis Miller coming. Oh, no. No, I'm just kidding.

Wait, so what's the big surprise? Yeah, surprise. It's not the guest. Did you just say surprise just to make me think there was a surprise? Possibly. That's a surprise. I really got excited. I would be here either way way but i really got excited like

there was like a surprise that but i love surprises oh really oh yeah yeah you don't not a lot of people like surprises i hate surprises i don't understand when people say i get them maybe if it's a movie i don't want spoilers i want to be surprised if it's like a movie like when somebody's like do not throw a surprise party for me i tell my wife every year i hate i'm like why who who would hate well what if you're in a weird mood and all of a sudden you're like oh? I got to chum it up with the linda from work. You sit in the corner and drink till you're having a good time Okay, here we go. What is this now? Oh

Shit Oh shit Oh shit Piano recital That's great. That's funny. The names are the funniest of the kids. Ah. Y'all know me and hidden that right. You want my ass? What happens? What do I do with all this ass? It's funny because there are adult comics who do crowd work like this. But here's why, again, not to challenge you, Sam, because see how you can get.

Don't challenge me. But, again, this is not like it's... That's like a direct joke about Kings of Comedy. Like, why would SNL... And then the kid grown up in the sketch turning to Pete looks like that kid grown up. I didn't know it was in that context. I only saw it like this. I think this was an older sketch on something,

and now they're reusing it. Because, look, the kid's grown up when it gets to the office with pete it's the same kid no it's not yeah please don't destroy guys no no no look the redhead that's not him no he goes that's my first set that's the joke joke and i think they hired kids to do that i don't know i think no it's not him dude am i crazy yeah all right you know those please don't destroy guys. They're fucking hilarious. Who's the... No, who the hell is...

Those three kids right there. They just made a movie on Peacock. I heard it's funny. Do you see it? No, it's not funny. Those were the kids from SNL that just made a movie. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

Jeez, man. You got to get out of that bar. You're living under a rock. Who do I care what some guy does on Peacock? Good point. Good point. The angry guy about Peacock. You see, this is a new fucking streamer I got to sign up for now.

It was called NBC when I was banging. You seen this Peacock bullshit? I'll tell you, call it P-Pussy, folks. Then maybe I'll watch it. Now, let me ask you this. Speaking of cock, have you covered the trans lady handjob enough yet? By the way, I found out you hooked up with a trans person because someone heckled me with it while I was on stage in Phoenix. Same.

I was just on stage and someone goes, what do you think about DeRosa and the trans chick? And I was like, I don't. I love that my name's coming up at your show. Yeah, mine too. Oh, that's great. I was like, I don't know. Yeah, yeah. She's a friend and she's great.

Nikki Fox. Pull her up. Well, we talked about it a ton, man. Okay. I mean, I don't care. I'll talk about it, but like you and I talked about it on Bobby's thing. Oh, that's right. The day after it happened.

But have you gotten another one since? Because I know you were really excited. Have I hooked up with another trans woman since? No, I haven't, but you know. Well, there's a surprise. Come on out, Shirley. No, just kidding. Once again, you got me very excited.

God damn it. Do you prefer trans women or are you I haven't been with enough trans women to say I could prefer a cis woman versus a trans woman. I don't think it's a preference. It's, you know, I think

Leah Thomas? Is she on your wall who's leah thomas the swimmer oh i don't know that oh i was thinking of leah thompson from back to the future boy boy he's showing that age her up fucking film knowledge yeah right uh i'm not i don't find leah attractive all right that's offensive okay. Oh, there's Sam and Joe's ex. Where? On the right. Sam?

It's Michael Phelps. Yeah, I don't know. I don't think there's a preference or anything like that. I think it's just, you know, people are people. Here, here. But the giant dong would throw me off. A dick with a woman for some, is arousing to me. Wow.

A dick on a man, I couldn't care less. I'm not attracted to men. It's the femininity. And you discovered this there? No, no. I knew before that I had an attraction. I had hooked up with a trans woman years and years ago in Amsterdam. Oh.

It was just a by chance thing. And so I knew that, like, I had an attraction. But, like, I just hadn't been really presented with too many opportunities, I guess, to pursue it. And, you know, it's just, I don't know. I never really thought of it. I swear to God, too. I'm not trying to sound like mr progressive enlightenment or whatever i just never thought of it as like well that's a trans i'm hooking up with a trans woman versus i'm hooking up with a straight i'm just like i'm just living life and and you encounter who you encounter and and if you're

attracted to them and something happens great so yeah did you feel were you ever insecure about it were you ever like oh i feel weird that this is maybe not you know the norm or widely accepted yet no i i i i got a real attitude with people that are going to take issue with me uh with anything i had one person in my life really question me. And I was like, and I said, because they had said that their friends were kind of giving them some shit about it. And I was like, if your fucking friends or you or anybody has a problem with it, go fuck yourselves. Like, you know, everybody's a fucking liberal till it's time to be a liberal. You know, everybody's a liberal till it's time to be a liberal you know everybody's a liberal till it's time to be a liberal hear that hunter bud you know so so that's that and and and she was this person i'm talking about was fine with it yeah yeah but that's kind of she to be like i'm

fine with it but right that's kind of douchey i'm not saying it's not and i want to just out of respect for her say she didn't necessarily present it that way but i did have a very lady strong reaction to it like because i'm very like you know i'm i'm the type of guy if i'm bombing i'm yelling at the audience and telling them that they fucking suck right it's like i'm not a guy that's gonna go so so if my family ever found out um and and and they might know i don't know it's not a thing where i'm i don't feel any need to do anything yeah so if they find out and have an issue with it i would be like well all right i guess we're done here i'm not a guy that would be like but it's my favorite yeah yeah yeah the only person i know who's upset about is norton that was his thing yeah he did it first

that's that'd be great if people were like they were like you stole their bit but it's just their personal life yeah right i fucking started that dude oh there we go you might have to slide down yeah there we go hey k is the surprise. Yeah, there we go. Hey, Keith. Right here, Matt, here. I wonder why he's late. I wonder what took him so long. What was the holdup?

I talked to Keith this morning. You were the first person I talked to. No way. I talked to Keith many mornings in the week. Oh, that's nice. You guys are still tight, right? Very. Watch that mic there.

Very, very, very. I don't like him. And we're very tight. We should say out of the gate, Keith is recording a special December 19th at Sony Hall. You got that right. If you don't get tickets, get them now. His new hour is fucking awesome. Killer.

So funny. Oh, man. What are you going to do with positivity, Keith? You don't know how to handle it. We'll get it out of the way alive. What's up? It's like my dick. Look at this.

Wasn't he in finance? Damn. Well, I got to say, Keith, you did that whole bit with the guy with the cane. And I was like, that's a clip. And it's up there now on Instagram. Ah, you got damn right. We had to annoy Liz to get it though he won't keith won't play the game no i'm never gonna play what's the game i don't know just post the game with you man joe just bugs me good i don't want you in my life anything to repel you is good. You are such a fucking asshole.

Yes. I can call Keith any day of the week and go, I want to trash this person. And he's like, yeah, I know. It makes me sick. So we called Voss this morning. Oh, Voss. Because we're tired of Voss's pro-Israel protest. It's infuriating me. Because Voss could be the dumbest man I've ever known.

And him acting like he's about to cause. I called Keith. I go, I can't handle this anymore. And Keith's like, I got a fucking cocksucker. And we called Voss off. And Keith goes, you're making me hate Jews. Dude, I saw a clip of Voss. I i saw a clip of wash recently made me laugh out loud where he's like he called first off he's like in his 60s and he calls a woman in the front row he

goes miss you're a fucking two man in their 60s so i remember i did a bringer show when i was like a brand new comic and boss was on the lineup and my it's like the first time my mom came to see me. And Voss is in the crowd and he said to him in the crowd, she goes, miss you at two on a Tuesday. And after the show, my mom goes, that man was repulsive. I fucking love Voss. Oh, he's hilarious. Just the fact that he's still pumping out those. He said something about like, I would step over, fuck, Freddie Mercury's. I would step over your body to suck Freddie Mercury's dick.

Do him in the crowd. I'm like, Jesus Christ. We need a compilation of those. Wouldn't that be great? He's the best. I fucking love him. Boss is a pain in the ass. He's the best.

It's great. So a couple years back, my aunt passed away. All right. We were really close, and she passed away. I was very sad. So I was down in Jersey with my family trying to help with everything and it sucked. And Keith, for whatever reason, was calling me like every day

because he wanted to talk about something. I don't remember what it was. And I wasn't answering and I also wasn't calling him back because I was dealing with my dead aunt and it was a horrible time. That close with the aunt? Very close. Second mother. Got it.

And it was also the fifth person in many deaths in my family in a short period. It was a very bad time. So anyway, I'm driving. I'm driving. My hand to God, I'm driving from the funeral mass to the cemetery to bury her. Okay. I'm in the funeral procession. And you drive like 10 miles an hour.

And my phone rings and it's Keith again. And I'm like, what the fuck with this fucking guy? So finally I answer. I go, yeah, hello? And he goes, listen to me, you fucking cocksucker. When I call you, you call me the fuck back. You take my calls, you piece of shit. What the fuck you got going on the fuck back you take my calls you piece of shit what the fuck you got going on that you can't take my fucking calls you got nothing happening right and i go

on a bicycle. That's hilarious. I'm like, I didn't get murdered. After the fact, I was like, what the fuck was I doing? I wanted to do a Richard Allen housing project for this girl. Like, 2 in the morning.

Now, Richard Allen housing projects, it's 98% chance of getting robbed, killed, or, you know, beat girl bad. Right. But that 2% that I get laid was good enough. Damn. Did you get laid? No, I had to run it out. That project is dangerous, but we do. Every man should have a story

of about to get killed for doing. Yeah, you gotta roll the dice at least once. Yeah. Yeah, that's all you dice at least once. Yeah. Yeah, that's all you have. I mean, the amount of bars I went into Mexico drunk going, are there whores here? You know, and just getting chased out. You took a shot.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, I've done some stupid shit, man. Jesus Christ. The amount of drinking and driving alone I've done to chase some clams. It's bananas. But you know what's cool about cops? Sometimes they'll get pulled over and I'm like, I'm going to meet a girl. I'm so horny. And he's like, get out of here. Keep going.

They get it. Then a black guy tells them the same story. He's like, get out of that car, you piece of shit. That's funny as hell. I'm trying to get laid, man. Alright, go ahead. Yeah, this should be a breathalyzer for pussy. Like, I just ate out a girl. Alright, alright.

oh man who is you patrice norton who else norton um robert kelly oh baby and you know we that's that's a heart of danger. Right. And for them. Now, that was insane to me that you guys would go down there. And then just the chances of AIDS and everything. AIDS. Take all the disease parts off the table. What AIDS? I did my bit.

My dick has been on so many tours of duty. You know, it served me well. Being the honest, being the honest. Black cock down. Sorry. Being the honest, pompous. We used to call each other because all the pamphlets say two to 22 days for any VD.

Two to 22 days. Two to 22 days. So we would always laugh when we'd call each other and go, wow, dude, I'm on a two to 22 right now. So Giannis started going. I'd call him and I'd go, oh, dude, I'm on a 2 to 22 right now. So Giannis started going. I call him and I go, hey, dude. And he goes, oh, shit, what are you doing? A bid?

You doing a bid right now? I'm doing a bid. And then I go, I go, bro, I don't know how to live on the outside anymore. I stay. I stay locked up at this point. You ever get any STDs? No clap, no gun. What?

What? None yet. Wow. Yet. I mean, I don't know what the future holds, but no, not yet. I got four chlamydia. Four? Yeah, four.

Wow. We talking this calendar year? No, no. Way back. How fast after you banged did the chlamydia kick in? Are you waiting right now? I might be on a stint right now. Oh, boy.

No, seriously, though. I'm just curious because I never happened. Like, well, you get that burn when you pee and a burn. But I'm saying how long after, though, would it kick in? It didn't kick in two days, one night. Well, you get that burn when you pee and a burn. But I'm saying, how long after, though, would it kick in? It didn't kick in two days, one night. Do you ever, when you get it, does it hit you immediately, like, it was this girl? I know who did it. That's what I know.

I was doing so much. Me and my girlfriend, I think she had it from somebody else. Oh. And I, so we didn't know. We just looked at each other and like, all right, whatever. Wow. Because she could have gave it to me. I could have gave it to her.

It's like an STD, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Yeah, whodunit. That's great. So wait, you had four, is chlamydia the clap? Chlamydia. Or is gonorrhea the clap? Chlamydia. Four.

Four claps. Four gonies. It sounds like a Christmas carol. Four clap-alamydia. Four claps. Four gonies. This sounds like a Christmas carol. Four clapperias. One HPV. Gonnie or clap? I think gonorrhea. Because sometimes it takes a while.

Is gonorrhea painful? Yes. I've never had that one. I heard there's a discharge. Yeah, nice little. Sounds gross. I've never had that one. I heard there's a discharge. Yeah, nice little. Sounds gross. Pus shooting out. Oh.

I was shaving with it. It was so much coming out. Have you gotten burned? HPV, but it was, I had an outbreak, but it's gone. I mean, you can get it zapped off, but yeah ago oh damn the water that's not really yeah everyone has hpv i don't know we don't count that as thank you that's some you know bullshit yeah the only one i ever had was the um it's like the wart i think we talked about this on on tuesdays the wart thing it's not hpv but there's like a there's like a

wart thing that you get like kids get it a lot and then you can get it just from contact but it's it's not even counted as an like phylum molluscum or something yeah i got that too hold up that sounds like an excuse you give your girl now everybody gets it you know no i'm i i would i would be honest i would be honest but i'm dead serious the doctor that treated it said she said this isn't even categorized where you have to tell somebody about it no it's like a fungus he's a cool doctor it's a chick it was a chick doctor all right she you know it's a check so it's got okay i hate women doctors they get so preachy and for love you had and Philadelphia had the free clinic so we went in there you know

and they have certain sections like for STD and some for like you know other regular shit I tried to send the regular shit one and said what do you got sir and said get your ass over here

you know it goes through the corner with the rest of the degenerates and said, get your ass over here. You got to sleep in. Goes through the corner with the rest of the degenerates. Moleskine is not, I mean, I got that from a fucking towel. I was living in Philly. A towel? That's what she was saying. She was like, this could be from a lot of different things.

What was that? It's called, I think it's phylum moleskine. It's like a nothing, it's a whatever. Did your girlfriend buy that when you told her that? You it yeah that's what i'm saying it was a towel yeah you gotta get it burnt off but but like they that's why they were saying they were saying it's common amongst kids a lot because it's so transmittable and they're like you can get this from anything yeah it's not an std like or you might have gotten it from sex but we it's that's a that's a pussy disease.

That's what I'm saying. I never had any real hardcore... You should have. Plankton from Water Column. Jesus Christ. Yeah, the craziest is I thought I had AIDS. You know, your brain just goes crazy places when you got something going on downtown. And I went to the doctor.

I was like, I got AIDS. I know it. And he goes, are you gay? And I go, no. And he goes, do you use needles? And I go, no. And he goes, do you use needles? And I go, no. And he goes, you're fine. That was a medical professional

who told me that. Oh, wow. Magic Johnson's doctor said the same thing. Didn't you get that crazy? You had something fucked up. H. pylori. I had H. pylori.

You get that from eating ass. So watch out there, Keith. This sounds disgusting. Come on. I know. You know how much ass I ate. Listen to this. What he got from it.

This almost got me out of here. I'm a man, I told you. That's not a mustache. That's fecal matter. Why do you think I can't talk now? That's from eating ass. That's not from Viagra. How does Viagra give you a stroke?

Is it high blood pressure? I guess being on an airplane probably. Because they recommend that you don't take it while on a plane. I didn't read that before. I didn't know that either. Yeah. And by the way, taking it to get ready, you got the Uber ride? You had a lot of time to take it.

No. When Apollo made it, not 20 minutes left of the flight, 10 minutes to the girl's house. Total of 30 minutes. That's how long it takes for a bag to kick in. So you didn't think that from the moment you stepped off the plane, it would be possibly a full 30 minutes before you were inside of this woman? No. When I stepped off the plane, I got off the plane, went to the Uber. The Uber there was 10 minutes to our house. I know. I'm saying you don't walk in and immediately insert yourself. I wanted to knock on our door with my dick.

Nice and hard. All right. I guess so. I don't know. I thought maybe you have a glass of water or something. Nah, nothing. Keith is at the cellar like every night. It does make me feel guilty as hell when I cancel with a hangover and he's fucking walking in like this.

Yeah, there's a lot of stairs. Keith makes me feel like I don't work hard enough. Well, we should make you feel that way too. No, you guys are stupid. This guy just doesn't want to be home. Yeah, yeah, yeah. what are we talking about here guilty not wrong um no keith i actually said i was saying this to dante the other dante near the other day i was like keith's resolve is is truly inspiring like you you you you oh man i'm gonna

It calms me down from my attacks Who's got their own liquor Yeah Yeah they do Bodega Cat Whiskey Available online I attacks? Who's got their own liquor? Yeah. Yeah, they do. Bodega Cat Whiskey. Available online. Have a good one for the holidays.

BodegaCatWhiskey.com. Yeah, grab it in there. Are you guys able to sell this in New York yet? Nope. We're still working on it. And if anyone can help with distribution, we got meetings coming up. But Mark and I are pretty incompetent. We're clueless. We get right to those questions and we're like, we don't know what those words mean.

We had a guy from Dallas really big time us. That was embarrassing. pretty incompetent. We're clueless. We get right to those questions and we're like, we don't know what those words mean. Yeah. We had a guy from Dallas really big time us. That was embarrassing. It was like, well, you guys don't know anything. No. I would love to do a big bodega cat event at the bar,

but we're not allowed to because you can't. Oh, who's going to know? You got blow all over the place. There's blowers come everywhere. Yeah, they're not going to worry about this. You're fine. Listen, if you guys want to do it, I would love to do it,

but I don't know what the rules are for not distributing. One of that whiskey cures what you have. There you go. After you... There you go. Eat a good ass. It is a cure-all. It's good for what ails you.

But yeah, I had to go to a doctor and get a shot. Where did he put the shot? He just shot me in the ass, but once I got the shot, it was, like, cleared up in one second. Really? Yeah, H. pylori. So you might just take a Benadryl. I tried all that. It was stronger.

This is poo we're talking about. Are you joking? Are you going to say that seriously keith is not a good doctor a benadryl you got aids take a benadryl i take benadryl all the time just to sleep it helps just to knock myself out it knocks you out bad yeah yeah i broke out with some shit and they gave me a benadryl well that's for allergies, not for... Like Jell-O or something? No. Benadryl is for allergies. Yes. No, I ate some shit, some food, and crap.

I ate a crap cake, and my face was all swollen. Yeah, that's an allergic reaction. Yeah, that's an allergic reaction. No, but I'm saying he may have had an allergic reaction. To ass? To shit? I think we all do. You're not supposed to eat shit.

No, which is weird because it's just from food. You know, how did it get from good food to poison? This is like Edgy Seinfeld. What's the deal? Well, you can eat shit. With feces. It goes in one way. That is a good point, though.

Thank you. It is weird how it's that dangerous. Yeah. It's just waste. Well, it's waste, but it came from food that someone ate. Yeah, yeah. It's fascinating. It's transitioned into something nasty and deadly.

You ate some trans poop. Yeah, I guess so. All right. Poop is trans, dude. Thank you. Caitlin Shitter. Beautiful. All right. Poop is trans, dude. Thank you. Caitlin Shitter. Beautiful. All right.

I couldn't find the joke. That's a nice drink. Thank you. Oh, thank you, Beard Jew. Are you sure? Where do you bartend usually? All over the place. Well, let me know if you're looking for some shifts.

We're hiring. All right. There you go. A special December 19th, Sony Hall. Make sure to go to that. There's Tequith Special, December 19th. Get tickets for that. It's going to be a banger.

I'm thinking about Special Needs as the title, because it's special. Special Needs. But yours is pretty good, too. I do like that. Thank you. What's the title? Different Strokes. Oh, come on.

That was right there for everybody. That's good. You got to go with that. That was right there for everybody. That's good. You got to go with that. Had two strokes, man. That's crazy you've had two, man. Two is wild. That's a good title. That's a really good title.

That's really good. Yeah. Two of them. Yeah. Has there been a stroke special? You might be the Jackie Robinson of strokes. Wait, Ali Wong went pregnant. He's going to start the stroke thing.

Yeah, right. Yeah. Josh Blue's like, why didn't I think of that? Hey. You know, I got, like, handicapped comics looking at me like... Like competition? Yeah.

Oh, that's hilarious. Well, Sinbad may be like, oh, he took all my material. Is he okay? He's got to learn how to walk and shit. It sucks. I love sad. Oh, no.

Funny as hell, man. He was so funny. He's a fucking beast. It's sad, man. He looked like he was in decent shape, too. It's fucked up. It happens to people. You can't look at a person and say, oh, he's never going to have a stroke.

Oh, yeah, Jamie Foxx. Yeah, that's right. He was ripped. So, Keith, you're ahead of all of us. I was ripped, too. Jamie Foxx, stop stealing Keith's act, okay? So, wait, that's what happened to Jamie? He had a stroke.

They finally came out and said? I don't know. Is he okay now? That's not it. He seems okay. They haven't said it yet. They haven't said anything. Medical emergency is what he said.

He was crying recently, though, this week. He was fucked up. About how he wouldn't want this to happen to anyone. It might be the most talented entertainer. He's up there. Think of all the shit he can do. I say it's Eddie Murphy. But he can't sing.

Yeah, he can. Eddie can sing? David Alan Greer is also up there. Oh, yeah, he's a funny guy. Very underrated, I think, as far as that list goes. I mean, not as far as... He had hit singles in the 80s. Eddie's really good.

It kills me about Eddie Murphy. He's so talented. I hate that he keeps doing these movies that are... I'm like, come on, dude. Like, this Christmas movie that's out. He wants to be Disney. He's got kids. He's got kids.

This guy could... My friend put it so well the other day. He goes, this guy could literally do any... He could do action. He could do drama. And he keeps doing these not even good family movies. And he has a little smile on his face like he knows. I'm not giving it to you.

He does. And then he goes on Kimmel and he's hilarious. He's doing the interview and I'm like, he's so funny still. I thought with the Dolomite movie, I was like, he's hilarious. He's doing the interview, and I'm like, he's so funny still. I thought with the Dolomite movie, I was like, all right, he's back. We're going to get Eddie again. And it was a fun movie, too. Yeah, and it was funny.

It was great. And then it's just like, I don't know. It's a bummer. I will say I agree with you, but I don't think he should do stand-up. That I would stop. I think he'll be funny. See, he was young when he first did it yeah he's like 18 it's crazy you know i agree one when he did uh delirious wow he says it in the special he's

21 or 22 that's insane he's like 28 when they did um raw yeah wow i don't even think he was 28 dude i don't think so yeah that young yeah he has a lot more in him but is he willing to go out and bomb and work it out and that's that's the problem that guy work out anywhere i don't think so he said that's one of the reasons when he was hesitant to do it again he said because you can't truly work out because've got to worry that somebody's going to tape it and then you're going to get in trouble and whatever. You know what rich, famous people do do? Like in the Hamptons, they have their little like shindy parties in their homes and stuff. He could do something like that because I ended up in one of those. No, he's got to come to the place to work out, though.

because I ended up in one of those. No, he's got to come to... It's not a good place to work out, though. It's not, but it's like the only situation he could put himself in is like a house party where it's like all the... Let him go to the grizzly pear. With the... Whatever that's called, with the bags,

the phone bag. Yonder. He could just do that. That's true. I mean, that's what Chappelle does. Chappelle... Yeah, if the comedy store did that. Yonder?

I mean, the seller does that. Yeah, but would they give him an honest reaction? Because they're like, Eddie Murphy, he can say anything. I think after the first few minutes, it's going to be honest. Yeah, first few minutes, then they go, oh, this guy stinks. Right. Oh, he's good. They did that to Robin Williams when he came to the cellar.

Really? They gave him the first, like, and then you could see Robin was like, oh, I got to work. Whoa. I actually saw that circle in his head. Right. You need to lock up his phone when he's around. Oh, that's what I've heard. He's dead, man.

Guy who's taking a shot at a dead comedian? Yeah, I was going to say not anymore. When Eddie does shit in front of a live audience, like at his Mark Twain thing. Hilarious. And again, like he's just paneling on kimmel he's just riffing and i'm like he could he could do he could one thousand percent do stand up he's great absolutely on seinfeld he was funny you know on the on the comedians and cars yeah oh yeah he still has like all the same mechanisms that he had he said something at an

award show that had me rolling about the Sidney Fortier. He said, like, he had, his hair was, oh, yeah. I saw that.

Right. He didn't comb his hair. Because they didn't have black makeup artists back then, so they didn't know how to do his hair, so it's all fucked up. But it was hilarious.

Yeah. Because he never had his hair combed. Right. Any movie, whatever, the Sidney Fortier was just,

that was hysterical to notice that that's very yeah that's very funny so he could do it but i don't think he loves comedy oh do you think the same thing goes for steve martin because i think he's another dude that could be a hilarious he does steve martin does still kind of do it though like when they do when he does the stuff with martin short steve martin still does like like his whatever his new whatever his current version of stand-up is he will do it yes you know when he hosted the oscars he did it like i was thinking eddie was going to host the oscars and i was like okay we're going to get and he didn't do it i think he i think those first two specials are held in such high regard that for just everybody,

eight year olds. I mean, the young people don't know him. And what do you think about the amount of faggots he dropped? Would be joking about that. Oh, really? Including him getting caught with the trans woman.

Yes. I would. That would be my opening 10 minutes. So you ever heard my old shit? This is how it starts. You can't talk like that anymore. And I would just do a whole fucking thing. But dude, the guy's a global brand at this point.

I think in his head, he's like, I did two specials. They're classics. I'm not going to fucking tarnish it. They're not classics to me. To you. But I'm saying to the world. You just said they were great. I'm the judge fucking They're not classics to me To you but I'm saying to the world I'm the judge He does that he'll go back and forth

He didn't do stand up on SNL When he hosted SNL he didn't do stand up in the monologue He wouldn't do it No he didn't he had every black cast member Come out And he does that little smile Like I know I could That was on the Mark Twain thing

Nobody mentions Murphy's special When they go to top special that little smile like i know i could that was on the mark twain thing uh nobody mentions murphy's special when they go to top specials yes they do i think i don't know this is god damn it keith this could be one of these they always talk about raw especially they always talk about raw everyone talks about i mean my relationship was broken up by raw but that's why was it broken up by raw i was in high school and we went to the movie theater to see it and i could see again the wheels turning and as he was listening to him talk about women i saw my boyfriend going yeah i don't have to be with you and um we he after that he started dating other because i wasn't giving it up I was a virgin I was like I was like in high school

I was like in a V club that's pointless I was very serious virgin back then I was like trying to be a good family girl sounds like a horrible dating profile I'm a very serious virgin we did

we had a club. A B club for Cross Your Legs Across America. And we were like, seriously, like, whoever's... But people started to drop out. Yeah, of course. They're human beings. That's slut shaming. Y'all think that

Raw was a classic. I'm saying it's considered a classic. It changed people's lives. I have a question for Keith. So, I was talking about this with Mark. We're trying to make a Mount Rushmore of comedy. We're going to leave out people pre-1980. Who's on your Mount Rushmore?

Pre-1980. No, leaving out anybody. So, you're out, Keith. I'm out 1980. I'm never in there. I'll go prior calling. Pre-1980. No, they were out, Keith. Anybody before 1980. I'm never in there. I'll go prior, Colin. Pre-1980. No, they were out after 1980.

Yeah. You're saying they had to start after 1980. Yeah, they weren't doing their best work in 1980. You were allowed to put Carlin in prior. No, Carlin did his best work, in my opinion, after 1980. So Cosby, I guess. Carlin was always funny. Cosby, 83, was himself.

Yeah, he can. Yeah. If you're just talking about skills. Can you put at least his sweater? No, I say Colin, Cosby. Pryor. Pryor. What about Bing Crosby?

You said Bing Crosby. No, not Bing. Not Bing Crosby. Pryor post-80 is not the best Pryor. Live in concert. Live in concert is 78 or something like that. How about Live in the Sunset Street? Here and Now is a great prior.

Hold on, we need one more from the handicapped guy. Yeah, let the handicapped guy stop. Yeah, come on. And I'm going to piss people off. Sammy Davis. Woody Allen. I knew he was going to say that. I love it.

That's a great list. Woody Allen's great, but he didn't do stand-up after 1980. Shut your mouth. He's also 74. Let him have this. Wait a second. He didn't follow your rules at all. Woody Allen has one stand-up album, and it's still great.

It's a masterpiece. It still holds up. Guess what? Himself, Cosby, still great. Bill Cosby himself is the greatest stand-up special of all time. It's an incredible special. Two of your Rushmores could be in jail right now. Who?

Allen and Cosby. They warned you. Allen went to trial. Shut up with that Allen went to trial shit. He did. And he was declared innocent. Did it not happen? Who's seen that?

What do you mean, who's seen that? He was in the jury duty. That's what you make that show, Jury Duty, on Amazon, but it's Woody Allen. He's just one of the jurors. Keith didn't follow your rules at all. I did. Woody Allen didn't do stand-up after 1980. He's saying it's got to be post-1980.

All right, post-1980. So you could say Carlin. I got Carlin. Carlin, Pryor, Cosby. Who's your fourth? Cosby's after 80. Yeah. Yeah, you could say Cosby.

Himself is 83. Pryor did not do his best work after 1980. Shut up. Who are you to tell? You know what? He told you what the rule is. I should break your fucking glasses. Pryor always did great work.

Now, here and now stinks. Here and now stinks. Pryor was did great work. Now, here and now stinks. Here and now stinks. Pryor was always good. Half of Sunset Strip is good. The other half is like, oh, who cares? I agree. It's got a lot of greatness in it, though. The Jim Brown story is incredible.

Half of it is great. Half of it is who cares. And here and now stinks. Here and now he's doing jokes about how cold it is in Chicago. I'm still going to say it like this. I still got it. You can't. I'm not leaving out prior.

Yeah, you can never leave out prior. Ever. Ever. Can we leave you out, Keith? Yeah. Believe me, I'm out. Who's your fourth? I'm out fourth.

He said Allen. He said Woody Allen. But Woody Allen didn't do stand-up after 1980. I'm going to go... Rock, Chappelle, Bill Burr, Louis. Yeah, let's talk about some newer guys. Good one. I love Dangerfield.

I'm wise, so do I. But I'm going to go Chappelle. Halfway Chappelle. Yeah. That's fair. Even lately? You put Chappelle over Rock? For specials, no.

For comedy, yeah. Interesting. Well, Rock had two in the 90s that are, to me, are unbeatable. Yeah, Bring the Pain and Bigger and Blacker are nuts. Yeah. Yeah. Three years apart, by the way. Rock is still great. Yeah. Yeah. Three years apart, by the way. Rock is still great.

Yeah. Yeah. All right. What do you got to say now? I have great respect for Chris. Yeah, I think he's very good. But that's what you're about to say. This is where DeRosa goes, I think Chris Rock's work is uneven.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not going to say anything that I wouldn't say about any comedian. It's not a disrespectful thing. I think Chris is still a great comic. I think, though, there is a fire you have on the earlier side of things that you just don't have later, which is why I would say, you know, do I like anybody's? I respect the fuck out of Chappelle. You know, I don't think Dave's newer specials are as good as the earlier ones.

I think you said that for most comics. That's what I'm saying. So I think Chris is still a great comic, but I'm just thinking of the newer specials. I'm like, the fire in those first two and the hunger of a guy going, I have something to fucking prove right now versus a guy going, I have nothing to lose. I don't care. I've been on the road.

That's a very different energy energy I think you're right I think there's there's a need to like like Kennison's first versus his second right first is amazing and after that they're almost unwatchable well it's just I think you have 10 years on that first one or whatever right

I love Kennison too I love him but it's like Kennison fucking... You know what? Eat your apple. What about Mitch? Hedberg? What if no one's talking about him?

I like Mitch. We're talking about guys passed away. I mean, Bill Hicks, I think like five albums and he's dead at 32 is pretty fucking insane. You said a thing about Bill Hicks, though, that I kind of disagreed with. I saw your Rogan clip. What was it? It was a very absolutist statement that anybody that criticizes him

is a fucking idiot or something along those lines. My thing with Bill Hicks is this. I was a big, big Bill Hicks fan until I became about 35. And at that point, age... I respect Bill Hicks. He's an amazing comic comic but age reframed what he did for me and the older i got the more i started to be like this feels preachy it feels condescending

it's very much like i'm right you're wrong and if you don't agree with me you're a fucking wow so you stopped liking him 30 years ago you know know? And it's like Carlin started to teeter into that towards the very end. But, like, the best parts of Carlin are when, again, you watch Carlin. When Carlin got comfortable because he was so fucking famous in the 70s and he won these Grammys and everything, and he starts in the 80s, he doesn't care anymore. He's comfortable. He's doing stuff about peas and all this bullshit, and it's boring.

And then he gets left out of the conversation, and he gets hungry again. And then he comes back and does, like, jamming in New York and back. And he's doing these. They're fucking incredible because he gets the fire again. And then that all is very successful for him. And then towards the end of his life he kind of starts to be like it's bad for you it's a good special you know it's a good special but there's a lot in it where it's very much matter of fact like if you don't agree with me you're fucking wrong

and you're stupid and like i don't like when there's a lot of hicks i don't like when hicks gets condescending but i do think oh when he gets preachy or pandry whatever but like just in terms of pure jokes i fucking love his jokes and natal said something about hicks to me once where he's like that guy the way comics will go to like you know they think they're like truth tellers or whatever and they go to san francisco and uh fucking you know uh austin right hicks was going at like the reddest part of alabama and doing this shit. And I respect that. I respect it. I've seen Hicks in 84, 85. Oh, wow. And the comedy is Factor Outland.

Wow. But it wasn't that good. Really? He must have been a fucking, what, 23 or something then? Yeah, really young. Are there any women that you would put on that? Oh, shit. I have to speak up for my ladies.

Who do you like? I think Wanda's funny. Wanda Sykes. Her first one's great. Mom's Mavely. Who's the funniest shit? Whoopi Goldberg. Bamford's on mine. Bamford's great. Bamford. Whoopi's a stand-up in your time? But I think of

well, I know she's more of a solo artist, right? One woman show. Does she ever do? Also, Marsha Warfield is one of my favorites that no one ever really talks about. But I love, like, Marsha Warfield was one that when I saw her doing it, she did it the way that I didn't see other women doing stand-up. So it was

very dry. It was very like it was just very, it was jokes. Well. Look at, um, look at, uh. She didn't do that? I've never heard of her, but. Do you saw Night Court? Along the lines of what we're talking about. Look at Roseanne.

Roseanne was fire when she was broke 20 minutes of comedy she had but you see what i'm saying though then she gets the sitcom she gets the money and then it's not funny anymore well you gotta do the road you gotta go out you gotta work out desperation that's why i'm saying eddie murphy could struggle going out there because he's rich and famous and it's not the same. All right. No, but let me ask you this. Everybody in here, if you had the type of success Murphy had starting out, would you still be popping out special? That's the question.

Look at Jim Carrey. Look at all these guys. They're all gone. I'm barely working at it now. I got a little podcast money. I was like yeah fuck this Leno is still going got millions in the bank

I do love the road I do love touring so it's tough I mean like Adam Sandler still fucking touring but Adam doesn't do comedy he does he does stand up he's on the road constantly he does the road constantly same with Rock.

Well, that's what's interesting about a guy like Adam, a comic like Adam versus a comic like Rock. The type of comedy also plays a factor. Adam Sandler can always do Adam Sandler jokes, no matter what kind of money or whatever, because it's based in silliness. Like, that's really at the core is the absurdity of it. Chris is a social commentator,

so what he's going to talk about is my favorite parts of that new special was when he talked, obviously, everybody was excited to hear him talk about the Will thing, but you saw, like, in my opinion, you saw, like, a vulnerability come out of him again that I hadn't seen in a long time. But I don't even call him long time. But I was like, Call him a bitch. You know, like, I was like,

Tambourine, you know, the divorce. Yeah, Tambourine. Yeah, that's great. But when you said Adam Sandler, he didn't have that type of success that Murphy had. Right. As a stand-up. Yeah.

Murphy sold out arenas and all this. He got everything up front. Yeah. Biggest movie star. Good point. You're right. It would be hard. And also back then, it must have been fucking hard.

I mean, you see, Steve Martin's got the quote, I quit because of the Friday Late Show, right? Oh, I love that quote. Yeah. It's the best. And then he started playing music. He plays his little... Banjo.

I did Prairie Home Companion with Steve. Really? Oh, wow. Did he talk to him? Yeah. That's amazing. I took a photo. He was very nice.

I took a photo with him. The person was taking the photo. It took too long, and he was like, take the picture. Oh. Because they were just like taking too long. But he didn't do any jokes. He was completely into music. Did he take the V card?

Finally. But you guys are forgetting what's going on with all these comics you're naming. Not one clean. Except for Cosby. What about the Regans, the Gaffigans, the Seinfelds, the other guy? Well, Cosby was clean

Cosby was the only one you named I'll name somebody who's not clean who's on my current top

five Cat Williams I think Cat Williams is a fucking beast so funny Cat Williams

makes me laugh like from my gut yeah and for as successful as he is I'm like this

fucking guy just keeps cranking them out. No, he's great. God damn. This one, this special. That's his best special. Also, don't forget Norm MacDonald.

Honorable mention. Literally eight seconds in, we're all laughing. Yeah. And he just looks so looks so he's four foot one he's got a funny hair yeah he's got a perm pork face Pork face. You make someone laugh so hard they're holding their chest. He's pretty good, man. Yeah.

Well, you know what's fun about him is he's in a packed theater of his fans, and he's still delivering it like he's in a hell gig. He's sweating, and he's bringing the heat. He's yelling. Do you see anyone early on, Keith, where you're like, this dude's not funny? And then years later, you're like, that dude's pretty fucking funny. Don't say me. Mark is like, right here.

Number one. No, I mean, because I know comedy takes time. Yeah. So you have to be patient. But I've seen people who I said wasn't funny and remain not funny. Why'd you stare? You kind of stared at me like I felt like you locked in.

No, no. Name names. I'm not going to name names. Dude, when I auditioned at the comic strip, they did a fucking American Idol type of You two had my back. Oh, that's right. I was there. I remember the fucking booker at the time tried to be Simon Cowell, and they were videotaping it. So he's just nagging me.

And he's like, oh, I've seen that five minutes before. I killed. Oh, I remember that. And Marina comes in drunk like, fuck you. That's not fair. Marina had my back. Oh, I did. I was out of control.

I was furious and drunk and on my side. And they made me come back the next week, though. You got to do a different five and audition again. He was just trying to like, they were trying to tape it. Who was the booker at the time? JR. Oh, I was. I was so drunk.

So then I come back the next week and one of the judges was Keith. Keith was one of the judges that passed me through. And then at my cellar audition, Keith was at the table. I remember I was fucking nervous as shit because it's like, oh, 2011, I'm terrified. And Keith just looked at me in front of everyone. He goes, look how scared he is. And everyone laughed.

Got a huge pop. I was like, fuck. I saw Marina once. Marina did a thing. You did a thing at the strip. I always hated the fucking strip. I loved it. Oh, I loved it, fuck. I saw Marina once. Marina did a thing. You did a thing at the strip. I always hated the fucking strip. I loved it. Oh, I loved it.

The performing there. It's good. A forward of yours. I really, I'm not a fan. But anyway, you did a thing one night. You went in and the show was late. We both had spots on like the late show. And you went in and the show was late. And you just left. Whoa late show. And you went in and the show was late.

And you just left. Whoa. And I called you and I was like, where'd you go? And you're like, the fucking show is 45 minutes late. And I'm not doing this. And just went home and I was like, holy shit, you can do that? You just be like, go fuck yourself. I was early stages.

Marina can be a real bitch sometimes. I was like, yeah. Because that was one of the reasons I didn't like the club. That was one of those clubs when it was late, they wouldn't be like, yo, sorry, we're late. It was very much like, tough shit. It's the strip. Adam Sandler performed here 48 years ago. Okay, great, guys.

Wow. And I've heard that story that you've told about you. I heard it about Pete Davidson. I just felt like they really smelled their own shit in that place. And I've heard that story that you've told about you. I heard it about Pete Davidson. I've heard it. I just felt like they really smelled their own shit in that place. Well, to be fair. And I had some of the best nights of my life there.

I also had some of the worst fucking nights. I think, though, to be fair to JR, I do like JR. And the thing is, I think he didn't understand the seriousness and the gravity of what he was doing. He was just having fun. And I remember that night, I was just angry that he didn't understand how important this was for you guys. Yeah. So that's why I was like, no, no. No, he was being a dick. He was being a dick.

Well, he was also. There's no room for any of that shit. There's no room for a booker to fucking do that to people. They all do it. No, they don't all do that. No, they don't. But you know what? Yeah, they do.

No, they don't. No, they don't. End of the day, though, it did fucking prepare me for the business. Like, that type of shittiness where you're like- Esty at the cellar can be coarse and candid, but she don't do shit like that. That's true. No, she would never be like- But that's what-

Well, JR was not really supposed to be the booker. Everybody hates one booker. One booker, I'll never. Everybody. I read an interview with Chris Rock once when Lucian from the comic strip passed away and in the thing, Rock said, well, he passed this person instead of me. And I was like, that

never goes away. No. It never goes away. Well, no, you're not like that. Lucy just told me, said, look, Kim, you used to be funny. Now you're just fat and jolly. Jolly? Has he met you? What the fuck?

But he's never held that. You never held that. No, I don't. Because I'm like, all right. Fair enough. And what I'm saying is that's harsh, but it was a real criticism that he felt at the time. It might not be tactful. He's trying to call me fat and jolly.

I'm saying, though, but you see what I'm saying? What JR did to you, a booker has no fucking place doing that. He deserved it. He was cocky. You're right. I like JR. JR really. I don't know why anyone, but it's funny or not funny.

What do fat and jolly have to do with comedy? I know. I know. But, you know, Noam had asked me once, what makes a booker like a good, like, what makes someone know and become a booker? And I go, well, and why do you comics go to, I go, we go to whoever because we know that the person who's sweeping up the room could eventually be the booker. Right.

And that was JR. Yeah. So JR didn't, he knew he didn't know. JR. He was just playing the role. Yes. And then, yeah, it was off. A lot of people.

He's stark at being a janitor. He's bartending again now, by the way. Where? At the Strip. Oh, really? He's behind the bar. I'm going to go get a drink and not tip. People hate it.

Four Heinekens. Thanks. I don't want any cash. They used to have free drinks there. Remember that? It was free drinks. That was RIP Vic Henley. Oh.

He was mean to you young guys. I like Vic. I got along with Vic. I like Vic a lot, actually. Some people he didn't like. Well, I liked his energy every night. Two shots of Patron. Yep.

Every night, just drunk as shit at the bar, cracking me up. I love Vic. Yeah, Vic. I miss Vic. He was a good hang. There's very few people I didn't like. Yeah. Well, there's a lot that don't like you, Keith.

Except you. Vic used to always put my ex- don't like you, Keith. Except you. Vic used to always put my ex-boyfriend in check, though. He goes, you're not as funny as her, and you should know it. He would always do that. So that's why I... That's pretty funny. Yeah, he was like, and you're not as funny as her. Damn.

Yeah. Well, yeah, it was nice that he put him in his place for me. He cucked him. What did Vic die from? A heart attack? I don't know. Some sort of leg thing, like a clot or something in his leg. Oh, like aneurysm?

He got hit by a car, I think, when he was drunk. And then... Oh, shit. R.I.P. Vic. I heard J.R. killed him. J.R. Damn. He made three comics judges killing, too.

Lucian told me, when I auditioned for Lucian, Lucian took me in the office, and he goes, he goes, I close my eyes, I hear Big J. And he goes, and look at what you're wearing. Clearly, you don't care about your appearance. They did that to me at the comic show. Bob Wax did that to me. He goes, you're dressed like shit. He's like, wear a fucking polo shirt, for God's sake.

Damn. I was like, dude, you look broke. Lucien told me, he was like, well, I can sort of believe that you have the continent of Africa on the top of your head. But it seems. That guy should have been a comic. He goes, you do a good British act. I think I can place the area from Britain or England where you're doing it. And if I did hire you, I could kill like two birds with, you know, one stone.

So I was like, he was great for those little moments. No, I love Lucian. He was, you know, he was a funny guy. A comedy seller. I mean, a comedy comic strip went down after he passed. Interesting. You need a good booker. It needs somebody who gives a shit.

It means the hang is good. Loves comedy. Right. Lucian loved comedy. Yes. More than his family. I remember even as he was passing away, i would go to his house and take care of his cats and stuff and he was like i could give this to my family but they're not worth it

and he just he but he loved comedy he wanted to be around it all the time he had the smile just seeing people do well there he is that's very 80s. I started there, I think, right after he passed. I thought that was Freddie Mercury. Oh, you were there. Yeah, my first week at the Cellar, I was terrified. And Keith, you were hosting, believe it or not. This is how long ago this was. And you brought me up as Jerry Seinfeld. The crowd went nuts. They're all going crazy.

And you go, I'm just kidding. It's this guy. And I fucking ate it. What the fuck is crazy. And you go, I'm just kidding. It's this guy. And I fucking ate it. What the fuck is the matter with you, man? What the fuck is the matter with you? No. What is the matter with you? Well, somebody else,

some other star probably stopped in. I brought them up. And then once, like, say, Dave Chappelle, and then somebody, and then I'm waiting for somebody else. Right. So we got greedy. We got more, yeah.

You got more, that's why I did it. I thought it was like a lesson. No, no, no. Oh, okay. It's not like what you used to do. You used to host. You used to end on this one joke, and you never considered the fact that I was next. Oh, here we go. When you would would go women fuck up fun all the time

men we laugh women you fuck up fun your next comic coming to the stage Marina and I would go I was too young to address it but you didn't know but it was like you could see them going home

women do fuck up stuff. I remember bringing my dad to the cellar one night, and I don't know if I've ever seen him laugh quite as hard as when Keith was hosting. Marina gets off stage, and he goes, I used to date her, and she wears granny panties. He used to say she wore the worst panties. She used to have a bucket of panties in the middle of the room and she'd just pick one out and then I'd have to go on after that

and have to explain it so then I'd have to talk about my panties and uh and I made a whole bit about I tried to take my power back by talking about my own panties right right like the N-word. He would stand in the

doorway when I was, you would stand in the doorway when I was on stage at the cellar and just go. Yes. I feel like we're talking about Keith like he's dead. I know. I'm here, guys. Keith has gotten soft. Keith has gotten soft. He had two strokes, you think?

I was about to say, the strokes made you soft. Yes. That's it. I can barely talk. Yeah. Good. He can barely talk, and he's putting out more specials than you do, Rosa. There's always a silver lining.

That's a good point. I remember I called you when you were in the hospital. Your son's mom called me. You were in the hospital. She goes, hi, Joe. I'm just calling because I'm here with Keith. And she goes, he's coherent. He can't speak, but he would love to just hear your voice. And I go, okay, cool.

And she put me on speakerphone. I go, can he hear me? And she goes, yes. And I go, I'm glad you can't talk. Sit there and shut your fucking mouth for once. Was she horrified or did she get it? She laughed. And he was like going like, eh.

Well, the thing when I could talk, the nurse, the speech pathologist was in there. She said, well, you know, you got to practice your words. Say them over and over again. I said, I got it. Let me make a call. And I called Robert Kelly. He said, hey, what's up, dude? I'm like, Bob's a fat fuck.

Bob's a fat fuck. And it got better after that, too. It worked. Yeah, it got better after that too it worked it got better liz said you liz said you because you said to her marina is a cunt because marina took over no i only did what the family everyone said i was in control marina came became lucian and jr She was booking my hospital calls. I was like, you can't just leave him alone right now. But I was also going by what your baby's mom was saying. Don't call her baby mom.

Children's mother. No, because you said when you had the first stroke, I remember, I said, how did you get your – because he drove himself to the hospital as the stroke was happening. And I go, how did you do it? He goes, I summoned all my evil. But the bounce back, because both strokes, I talked to you pretty early on after it happened through recovery. And your bounce back to who you are truly at your core. Evil? Yes.

It was so instantaneous. The first stroke was fast. But I'm saying you, even in your most incapacitated state during either stroke, you still thought it was funny if we trashed you about it. That's what I mean, your resolve. It's incredible to me that you kept your sense of humor through all of it. There was never

a part of you where you were like, no, dude, I'm not in a headspace for that kind of humor now. You're in yourself constantly. That would make me sick. If I've said that, that would make me so disgusted. It would have been understandable, though. I'm not my head's favorite.

I'm just saying, it would not have been, like, crazy if you had been like, okay. Can you imagine Keith being like, I'm triggered right now? This is really offensive. Well, that's why he's the real deal, because every comic in Brooklyn would make this a one-person show, and they would milk the shit out of it, and they would have a whole special about how sad it is. You're going to go up there and talk about pussy. You know? I assume.

That is true. Yes. Yeah, Keith would have live-tweeted his tragic journey and all this shit. Right. And there would have been articles. Please. I've asked you this before. Please interview me for the part where

you interview comics in your special and we have to talk about how great you are and how good it is to see you back on your feet. Please interview me for that. You're the first person I want to talk to about my magnificence. I just realized this is real shit

I realized like through school and all that I don't know how you guys was in school but I was an asshole all through school

elementary junior high I picked on so many people it's like oh fuck cause I seen a video of this girl introducing me

you know she said this guy picked on me she was a It's like, oh, fuck. I seen a video of this girl introducing me. You know, she said this guy picked on me. She was a DJ. She is a DJ in Philadelphia, WDS. But I picked on her so much in school. She introduced me a while back. I seen a video of it. And she said this guy messed with me and said I was fat and this and that. And he's a horrible commie.

Keith Roberts and my old shit. But I realized how many people I fucked with in school. And I thought I was a good guy. Because I never, you know, thought any, you know. But I'm like, guys, when I said I was gay and all this, they all turned out to be gay. But. You're a fortune teller. Yeah, no, but.

We're trying to steer him in the right direction. We're trying to help. But. Now they all turned out to be gay. But. Now they all turned out to be gay But But I was in second grade I didn't know What I'm saying is just like

Tell the Ralph Harris story When Ralph Harris first started doing comedy And why his family hates you Oh well Harris started Like I started in 84 He started in 85 doing comedy and why his family hates you? Oh, well, Howard started, like, I started in 84. He started in 85. And he said, what do I do

to make it in this business and do what I need to do? I said, well, get yourself some knee pads. All right? And I left it at that. This dumbass brought himself knee pads. And then people told at that. This dumbass brought himself knee pads. Oh, jeez.

And then people told him what it was. At the store. They laughed. And his whole family was mad at me. That's nothing. It was just because, you know, he gets to blow people. Yeah, yeah. But his family tried to trip me and all that.

Whoa. Yeah. Well, because when he went to get the knee pads, I think, at the store, right? The guy behind the counter, he said, why are you getting? Or he told him he was getting it because he was starting comedy. And the guy just started laughing. Oh, my God. Because he understood more than Ralph did. That's hilarious.

That is hilarious. Come on. But you do do that to people. Yeah, now he talks. Now he does, but he still has a little bit of a even, you know. Patrice used to say that. He goes, everyone thinks Keith is sweet.

No, do we? And then Patrice was like, and I get it. Yeah, Patrice got it because he had a bigger mouth. Yes. I went for something to him. Sent him out. I miss I went for something to him. Send him out. I missed the, because we used to go. I don't know if you guys, you guys probably never went.

I missed the Patrice barbecues. Those were like, you know. I heard about them. It was just like the most legendary like trashings from the second you showed up to the second you left. I mean, it was so... Remember when Ramon Harris came and he had a hat on and he took it off

and he had a mohawk that was dyed blonde? We kept calling him Demolition Man. And, like, he, like, eventually, like, he, like, went and sat in, like, the corner.

Oh. And the way he... That's the thing you guys missed. Yeah. The back table traction. Yeah. We showed up after. Why do you think that went away?

Because it's just Patrice died. That's right. You know, yeah. I had a couple of strokes. But it also to the culture change. Yeah. It was like it just became a thing where it was like as the mainstream form of comedy started to become less the cool form and the cooler version of it was – The Brooklyn thing was seeping more into the mainstream.

The idea of hazing just became sort of uncouth. Yeah, I tried it and the generation would start crying. Being hazed by comedians who you liked was different than being hazed to meet a booker who you didn't give a fuck about, you know? Yeah, that's a different thing. No, yes, but it was... I remember when I first moved here, I lived with Oakerson.

I remember, like, again, Keith. Keith and Bob, I'm like, again, Keith. Keith and Bob. I'm not being maudlin. I owe so much to Keith, to Bobby. I helped you. I was about to say you, you fucking insecure ass. Let me get to you. God damn it. To Marina.

Like, they... I remember I was in the apartment that Jay and I lived in and I was so depressed And I was like they all these guys make fun of me and whatever Oh, so it did get to you I did and he called Keith and he's like we do it cuz we like you stupid and he named like four comics And he goes you ever hear us talk about them. I go no and he goes exactly We like you dummy. We see talent.

Right, right. And there was a mark of acceptance if you got trashed. So as much as it sucked walking into that murderer's row of, which I hate that expression, but it truly was. It was like you would go into the cellar. the cellar it was depalo keith judy burr giraldo uh uh patrice norton colin oh no and it was like you would just get fucking eviscerated but i'm saying shirt sucked whatever whatever some of them wasn't messing with people like that it was me patrice boss boss Voss, Voss, Norton. Robert Kelly wasn't messing with people. Bobby used to trash me constantly. He was Handsome Bob. When Bob was Handsome Bob,

nothing. I met him at the beginning of Chunky. Yeah, Fat Bob. Beginning of Chunky. Fat Bob was funnier than Thin Bob. Yeah, I feel like Fatter's always funny. Yeah, I miss Fat Bob. Yeah, Fat and Jolly. I don't know Thin Bob. Yeah, I feel like Fatter's always funny. Yeah, I miss Fat Bob. Yeah, Fat and Jolly. I don't know about this Bob. I'm glad he's not fat.

This Bob is trying to be sexy. He looks like Brando in Apocalypse Now. What the fuck? He does. There's a ceiling fan going slowly above him. What the heck happened there? Yeah, he looks good there. Go to that bottom one, though. Holy shit.

No, to the left. Yikes. That's Brando later years. The other one. Clearly. I miss that guy. That's a funny guy. I want Fat Bob back. He'll get there. Don't worry. He's coming

back. Why are you talking like he's not coming back? We all know he's coming. It's like saying, ah, I wish that guy would go back to heroin. He will. Don't worry. Give it some time. But Marina, you said to me when we used to do the shows at the Boston and you used to have your own show, you were the person that said to me, and I was saying this earlier

about Burr, and Marina was the other person used to have your own show. You were the person that said to me, and I was saying this earlier about Burr, and Marina was the other person that said this. You said, why don't you just be truthful about your insecurities? I said that? Yeah, and it changed. That was such a great, honest time because whether somebody was your friend

or somebody you looked up to or whatever, everybody was so honest with with each other it was brutal I mean it would make you want to cry sometimes but it was great that's not brutal that's like that's her being helpful no but it's like in this day and age you can't you can you gotta really tiptoe

you gotta tiptoe around these comics like they don't careful like I have gotten in trouble with some of the younger comics they think i'm mean really yeah you are me i i was just doing what you guys used to do or i would tell them what i would tell you or whatever and i could see the the water welling up in their eye i was like what's what's going on here or they'd be like can you not can you just not do that and i'd be like oh my god what's happening yeah i go this is where this is what how you get better is you learn from people

who came before well i was trying to sexually assault you and i don't know why you're being so uptight about it well i heard a guy i'm to say who, but he said the word cunt at the table. And another comic goes, all right, easy with the language. Who said that? I'll tell you after. I'll tell you after. Why can't you say who said cunt? Why is that bad?

You don't have to rat out who reprimanded them. I'll say it for you. Let me say it. Cunt. But I remember sitting there and I was like, whoa, this is weird. You can't even say cunt at it was I was I remember sitting there and I was like whoa this is weird you can't even say cunt at the table even having a guy back then like Todd Lynn who's gone

who I had such such insane clashes with New York Wayne Rader pulled us outside and he goes I will ban both of you from this fucking club

if you don't stop Todd was not a friendly guy like we were screaming at each other like I got into two like titanic fucking clashes with that guy

but cause he picked on me he pushed my and then later when he got sick he still had the greatest slam I've ever received ever in my life

oh hit me when he was blind he walked up to we were at Montreal we were flying home I my life. Oh, hit me. When he was blind, he walked up to, we were at Montreal, we were flying home, I was sitting at the gate, and he walked up, he was blind, he had two canes. And he goes, he goes, ugh, DeRosa, is that your awful voice I hear? And I go, yeah, Todd. And he goes, ugh. And I go, I got to be honest, Todd, I would have thought you getting sick would have softened you up a little bit.

And he goes, just because I'm blind doesn't mean you can't offend my other senses. Even on the way out, he was like a freak. Yeah, that's a swish. But even having him around and Todd pissed off a lot. Oh, yeah. And he would be proud of it. He'd be like, I'm a fucking villain. See, you don't know what you are.

Like, he was such a fucking cunt about it. But it was good. It was like, all right, you got this guy around. It kind of keeps you on your toes a little bit. It's fucking frustrating. But it was, I don't know, there was something about being able to have a guy like that around where it wasn't like this federal case. Well, it's almost like the internet where there used to be gatekeepers and it was hard to get on TV.

Now there's the internet so you can put anything you want on YouTube. Yeah, we need gatekeepers. But we need a little of them in the middle. I heard a guy in a basketball podcast, I forgot what player, I think it was Kevin Garnett said, in the NBA now it's worse than it was in the 90s because heard a guy in a basketball podcast, I forgot what player, I think it was Kevin Garnett said in the NBA now it's worse than it was in the 90s because they got rid of the goons and they kept the bullies.

That's great. I feel like the same goes for comedy. You need some of those dudes. You don't want too many, but you don't want too little. You need some. What are you going to do? You're going to walk in the corner and you're going to go, that guy's a fucking asshole. Well, the goons keep the bullies in check. You need some. It's in the middle ground. What are you going to do? You're going to walk in the corner, and you're going to go, that guy's a fucking asshole, right?

Well, the goons keep the bullies in check. You need goons. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, but there were guys- I liked all that. I liked Patrice, even DePaulo. Yeah.

They were good. They were good for each other, too. They were goons. Patrice and DePaulo, though, had a genuine... Todd never... I mean, God damn, dude. Todd was... Well, Todd was... Whatever. And sometimes people got their feelings hurt,

and they would apologize later. Like, Patrice would actually call someone up. Like, when Angelo was at the table, at the Comedy Cellar's table, the comedian Angelo Lozada, who I dated and loved. Oh, yeah, Angelo was the best. But Angelo's the sweetest man in the world. And he came to the cellar table when you really could not sit there

unless you were a comic. And someone who was managing told him he had to get up. And he was so offended, he ran out and Patrice started laughing. No, no, no. Oh, okay. He said, y'all, y'all gonna let this happen? Oh. Yep.

We took the sign, you know. He had a little placard. Yeah, put it in his face. Beat it. The sign said, comedy seller comedians only. It used to sit on the table, which is no longer there, by the way. It's not there? I've seen people throw that in people's faces before.

I have, too. In my earlier seller years. Dude, Esty used to do it to me. When I sat at the table, like, hanging out, Esty would go, uh, uh, uh, uh. Like that. It was so fucking funny, though. I was like, all right, I'll fuck off. It was funny, man.

My point is, though, Patrice went and Angelo ran out, because he was so upset, Patrice ran after him. Because he loved. Patrice didn't run after nobody. He did. He loved Angelo. And he apologized to him. He was like, come on.

After he was beating the shit out of him. He was like, you know I love that stuff. So he did. He loved Angelo. This is how sweet Angelo was? This is how sweet Angelo was? When Angelo was sick. Yeah.

Because he had cancer. And I think he got diagnosed at like stage four. He got diagnosed late. Stomach cancer. I didn't know he was sick. I had no idea. And I saw him. He said he looked good.

He was thin. Yeah. And I go, dude, you look fucking great. What are you working out? And he's like, you know, poppy, just living, you know, I'm doing what I do. And then like a week later, somebody was like, you know, Angelo has like stage four. And I was like, Jesus Christ, man. He's on his deathbed.

Joe's like, dude, you're looking well rested. He was so gracious that he wasn't going to be like, dude, I'm sick. He just was like, thanks, buddy. I appreciate that. He's like Norm MacDonald. Yeah, it's wild, man. He was a really nice guy. But yeah, Patrice.

I loved Angelo whenever he would host at Gotham all the time. He was like just good energy, man. Oh, the best. He's a funny dude. He was a really nice guy. But yeah, Patrice. I loved Angelo whenever he was. He would host at Gotham all the time. He was like just good energy, man. Oh, the best. He was a funny dude. Nice dude. Very supportive and encouraging. Yeah. He was the opposite of all those guys.

He was very encouraging to younger comics, like in a way that he helped you with your bits. He told you what was funny. He told you what was good about you. He was just all aroundaround wonderful human being. Nobody did that shit. You want them to get better? Smash.

But some people weren't happy. I saw Ted Alexander, who I looked up to, and Patrice with the cellar. I was super green. I stayed away. But Ted sat down at the table, and Patrice goes, look at this fucking sweater. What the hell? And Ted just got up and walked away. And I was like, like oh i didn't know we could do that i don't know you could just get up and leave he he was like i'm an adult i mean you're gonna make fun of my outfit

i'm leaving when you break it down like that it does sound yeah like it blew my mind i was like oh i thought you just had to get yelled at for half an hour it's like any it's like anything else of course it's like anything else you take to go with the bad like it's like of course it went too far sometimes of course it was unnecessary of course at times it was juvenile but overall i felt like the good that came from it was could be constructive if sure if you were willing to take the time yourself to fill to sort of filter through what was being said and what the value of what was being said. But everybody got it, though. Right.

Everybody, nobody was sitting there untouched. Yeah. Everybody got it. If you were in, you got it. If you weren't in, you didn't get it, which is why I found value in it. I was like, I'm part of this. Right. It is hilarious to be like, you're one

of us, you ugly piece of shit. The best part of that time, too, was that Patrice and those guys made fun of younger comics who were coming in and also liked these younger comics. Not all of them, but for the most part. Patrice, when he did his document,

his video for his roast or whatever, he wanted to include like comics that weren't yet passed. And nowadays you kind of see like a separation where it's like these are the good comics. These are the struggling comics. These are the ones who aren't passed. You stay over there. You stay over there. Where Patrice would always like he would trash you, but he would say, come on over here and be a part of this.

True. So that was what was good about it. and i don't know if you have that now yeah it's a good point it's like inclusivity you know we say it but it's all bullshit do you feel like patrice was like really captured in his specials because i feel like elephant in the room he was but i feel like this other stuff that wasn't like as good as he was. What are the others? Like his half hours or stuff like that. Well, he got, what happened, I think, as he went along, he seen what didn't work. Like he didn't love his half hour HBO. Right.

But the woman from HBO, she had told me, I'll never book him again really you know and um like Bill Burr and Patrice did the special the same night

I watched it I was there and Bill cleaned house Billy killed I remember when I saw that night Patrice did great Billy killed in a way where i was like holy shit this guy's about to be like right remember that half hour here we the brunch bit is that pesto that bill burr he ended with the thing about going to mlk to see yes the black girl who's date i was like this fucking guy danny glover boule. Yeah, like, holy shit. Or Frederick Douglass.

What happened is they sold Burr's Half Hour to Comedy Central, but they didn't buy Patrice's. And that kind of hurt a little bit. So Patrice put an elephant in the room, put everything in it. And he called me like, hey, what are they saying in the barbershops? Because I told him, hey, in the barbershop is talking, is popping. Yeah.

So he said, what are they saying? They give another thumbs up. All right. And that was elephant in the room. Yeah, yeah. That was a great special. Yeah. So he could go down on that one.

Yeah. I'm not going down. I mean, my mom likes Patrice. My mom's religious. She doesn't like when he talks about pussy and all that stuff. That's too much. That's too graphic. But anything else he does, my mom likes patrice like patrice it it was he was doing

a universal strangely uh for his polarizing it was doing a very universal uh in my opinion what was undeniable when you're that funny it's yeah but i did enjoy him walking people out of comedy clubs. I have to say, I haven't seen anyone do it the way Patrice would upset a man with his wife. He'd be like, she's got you like this. Look at you. And I remember a guy just standing up. And he was almost in tears. He's like, you can't say that about me. And he goes, I just did.

And the guy just storms out. He goes, come on. And it's just, you see the, like, there's an, I know it's dysfunctional. And I know it's not, like, good. But there was an art to that that I completely loved. But I think that, you know, when he did that special, he had learned a lesson that, you know, this one had to be it for him.

Yes. He could not mess up on this one. I saw him at Caroline's. He did a joke about the tsunami. It was on the tsunami heaven. He did a joke about the tsunami. He opened with a joke. I remember this joke. Yeah, and he goes, it didn't look that bad. It looked like if you pulled your pants up, you'd be...

These people from England walked... I've never seen anything like this. Within like 48 seconds or something of stepping on stage, he walked three people that were in the country from England visiting. They went to the bar. I was out... I think I opened for him. That's why I was there. I just might have been watching, but I was sitting at the bar. I was out. I think I opened for him. That's why I was there.

I just might have been watching. But I was sitting at the bar while he was on stage. They walked out and they sat there and bitched about him for two fucking hours. Wow. How offended they were and how they were waiting for him. And they waited just to verbally accost him when he came out after the show. That's how mad they were. But Patrice never looked upset.

He would always smile. They got so aggressive with him that they drugged the security was dragging them basically or shoving them up the stairs at Caroline's and as they were doing it, the woman goes, you're an embarrassment to America. Whoa.

And the guy security goes, alright, you gotta go gotta go miss it was that guy eddie patrice goes no man this is fun well he famously said that if 50 of the audience loves you and 50 hates you you're doing the right thing which whenever i have a under par set i just tell myself that like ah 50 hated me i'm like patrice but everybody in though, has a load of that. I mean, you do and you do. But I see you guys, you can't take the chances to, you know.

Oh, I walked some people last night. It was good. Every once in a while, you do enough sex. You gotta walk some people. You can't always have everybody all in. Right. You gotta walk some people. And I get upset when people walk out still.

I do too, but. I do too because it's not my intention and I'm like, I don't know. I feel like if you're just listening with an open mind, nobody needs to walk out. Right. But it happens and I'm always, I still have that thing in me where I'm like, all right, I guess. Yeah. You can't expect every crowd to like you, and when you do a shitload of sets,

every once in a while, it's okay, you know? Right. Yeah, yeah. As long as your motives aren't to, like, fucking embarrass someone. Wait a minute, you said something about rape once. You'll have to be more specific. Yeah, you got in trouble.

Yeah, you got in trouble for that one. It's such a joke, a clear joke. That's what's crazy. Well, you know, people, if you're looking for shit to be upset about, you could find it pretty easily with any of our acts. Yeah, true. I mean, nothing was said in any malice. It's just, you know, people are fucking bored. And this is like, this is their form of entertainment.

I'm upset. I'm going to write a blog. And then you're like, enjoy. But I'm going to back and we'll and we'll do this little dance for a second that's it i'm that way i'm that way in real life like like i was saying i was at the kiss show we kept walking out of our seats me and paul italio kept walking out of our seats because we were because my friend nick was trying to get us closer to the stage and this whole thing but these people that were sitting at the end of our row were getting really mad and i'm like they're in the seventh row at the fucking kiss show on the floor at mess we got our tickets for free they probably paid like five grand for these fucking seats i felt bad

and i went up to the guy and i go listen man i'm not trying to ruin your night do you take our seats they're better. They're in the center. And we'll take yours. And we won't walk back. And he goes, fuck you. Get the fuck back. And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm trying to tell you. And he goes, get the fuck back. And Paul was like, Joe, walk away. But that's how I feel with the audience sometimes. I'm like, no, no. I wasn't trying to. Hold on a second. Hold on. And they're no, no, I wasn't trying to hold on a second. Hold on.

And they're like, no, we don't want to hear. And I'm like, okay, I guess so, man. Like, it's not my intention. Like, I just want to. It gives me joy to see him walk. This needs shoulder pads. Oh, there we go. Am I getting too sincere? Sorry.

No, no, you're good. I know what you mean, though, dude. I'm talking about fucking whiskey. People are looking, you're good. I know what you mean, though, dude. I'm trying a little fucking whiskey.
