In here, we pour whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey. You are that creature in the ginger beard. Sturdy and ginger. Like vampires, the ginger gene is a curse. Gingers are beautiful. You owe me $5 for the whiskey and $75 for the horse. Gingers are hell no. This whiskey is excellent.

Ginger. I like gingers. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Junior. My guest today is one of my favorite people on Earth. I say that for all my guests, my name is once again today. It like gingers. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Ginger. My guest today is one of my favorite people on Earth. I say that for all my guests, my name is once again today. It is the return of Adam Ray. He's here in the studio. Good to be back. We're in Kyrie Irving's shoes.

Took him off for a bit when Kyrie said Jews... Will not replace us. What did he say? What did he really say? He retweeted a Nazi doc. Which, hey man, who hasn't? But he did it early morning when everyone was online, so everybody saw it. And he got a couple retweets. Big people noticed

it. I think, you know, so many things are lost in translation. I don't even know what the documentary was, but it was basically, people jumped on it and like kairi hates jews and then he said something about i think they doubled down and was like something something black people it just it got weird so then i was like and i'll put on the sean kems again and then he took out a gun in a mall parking lot in tacoma and i was like am i going to the vladivok flip-flops because it was switching it up dude bro it's...

These athletes are making it hard for you to just wear shoes. Dude, I know. Barefoot, dude. Go barefoot. I could. There was a kid

in my high school. His name was... Actually, I'm gonna let you guess what his name was. This is like a Theo bit. There was this one dude, man. He used to go barefoot. He'd walk on glass

in front of us, dude. Yo, man, we called him Crinkly Toe Jim, man. You know Crinkly Toes? Crinkly Toes, but that's just because he had arthritis at age 10. Yeah, man.

Actually, that's because his dad was a goat. But anyway, man, that's what it is. Who's the kid in high school you're going to say? Somebody walking around barefoot? I want you to guess his name, but he was barefoot, and he was tall, and he was my first taste of a hippie kid. I'm in high school. This kid's 6'5", long, golden hair. Chode Donaldson. Chode Donaldson. Not far. Give me,

give me, how do we do this? Nifkin, Millersville. Starts with an O. No, I want you to think cool. O, O, O, O'Reilly, O'Reilly, auto parts. That was him, man. No shoes O'Reilly. O'Reilly, auto parts. That was him, man. No shoes O'Reilly. No, he wore a flannel with no shirt, necklaces, no shoes, long like hippie pants, and he had long hair, and he fucked everybody. Yeah, he's the man. Including the teachers. He's the man, this guy.

O'Ryan. O'Ryan. What a cool dude. And he was so- Where is he now? Where are they now? Can I tell you something? I was just talking about this the other day.

I want to do a where are they now. High school. High school, yeah. The amount of people, and last time I was on my favorite pod, Whiskey Ginge, I was mentioning stories from the past, and you always bust my balls

because you're like, say the full name again. And I'm like- Yeah, you gotta. I always say the full name. And if I knew Orion's last name, I would pimp him out. But there are so many people

that I end up bringing up, and I'm like, I can't find them on Facebook. There was a girl named Jenny Taylor. Shout out. In fourth grade, her parents were scientists. They came in to teach a science lesson twice a year. And one of them looked like David the Gnome.

Google it if you don't know. Tiny little, healthy man with a beard and even talked like a little gnome. And the mom was Gnomesque as well. And they were both like five feet tall. Just a one and a half Brad Williams. And Jenny thought she was a cat. I don't know what they fed her, probably kibbles and bits. And she, in class, I'd say two hours out of every school day, would, out of nowhere, or the teacher would call on her and she'd go, and just wouldn't answer back. And then one day, she scratched

R.I.P. Mrs. McQuay, and I've never laughed harder since. She killed Mrs. McQuay? Scratched. Just from a scratch. Oh, no, sorry. I said R.I.P. before I... Separate these things, Adam. You can't do that. People think you scratched her to death. I mean, it would be very fucked up.

A student just scratching someone to death? But imagine seeing a kid, I'm in fifth grade, it was a fourth-fifth split, she's in fourth grade, and it's my, again, the same way Orion was my first taste of a hippie kid in high school that fucked everybody. You know, here I'm trying to do my best, I'm like, I'm trying to be, hey, maybe I'll do jokes and memorize an

NSYNC dance to perform at the dance with my Filipino friend, right? And here comes Jenny Taylor acting like a fucking house pet, and I'd never seen that. Was she attractive? Were you attracted to Jenny Taylor? No. Well, I'm not a cat guy, first of all. Really? No. But you're a cat guy girl. I'm a cat guy girl.

I'm a cat guy girl. I'm a cat woman guy. I mean, I said it wrong and I'm still going to stick with it. I'm a cat guy girl. What does that mean? I'm a cat guy if you're a girl. Yes. But not if you're a cat. I'm not a cat guy. I'm a cat guy if you're a girl. Yes. But not if you're a cat. I'm not a cat guy. I'm a cat guy girl.

Okay. She's a cat girl. I like it. Who are you voting for? I think if there's something... In 2024? I better believe you know. I think you know who I'm voting for, dude.

I do think... John Kerry. Run again! Why not? Is he dead? He might be close to it. Damn, dude. I just thought about that in RIP and sometimes...

No, we would have heard about it. When I say stuff on these shows, sometimes people do die right after we mention their... John Kerry is 80 years old. Still alive. Still alive. There's a lot of people at 80 right now that are clicking and ticking. Shout out to my stepdad, George. 81.

Shout out to my real dad. 81 years old? Unbelievable. And my dad's 80. Well, did take a spill. He's in patient rehab doing his best. But I will say this about cats real quick, and I know you have a sweet pup. Dogs, if they somehow are lucky enough to watch you fuck and you lock eyes with them,

which I'd love to, it's adorable. They're just confused. They don't really know what's going on. So I can lock eyes for a minute and not be two-faced. A cat, and this has not happened, I'm assuming because they're so judgmental to begin with.

I think if you looked over and you saw a cat looking at you fucking, they'd be like, you think she likes this? Dude, look at the face you're making. You sick fuck. I'm going to eat you when you go to sleep because cats are devils. She would just slowly walk by and go,

Small. You're like, She's making fun of my dick size. Small. Babe, she was meowing. She meowed and she pointed to it. I don't do it, so. You're high.

Okay, yes, but. By the way, tried to take like a 50 milligram Eddie one time to knock out. Couldn't sleep. You know, I don't get great sleep. Me neither. Took one. Just pet the dog. I was just petting the dog for like five hours.

I'm not kidding. I was just petting the dog. Sounds incredible. Couldn't go to bed. I know it was, but I was like, I'm not going to sleep. I'm just going to pet the dog. And I just was like playing with her, thinking, talking to her. I would talk to her.

Full conversations. Wait, 50 milligrams? milligrams yeah it was too much yeah i i did 80 once and was this close to calling cedar cyanide it picked me up yeah i've only done a 50 like that like a few times in my life i don't like that i i think anything over 20 is not it's not necessary i'm a sweet uh five five to ten if i really want to just kind of zone out uh 20 if I want to get fucking wrecked if I want to get baked

I'll do that my wife took me to Zach Bryan country never seen him ripped yeah he's super talented

oh yeah and know what's crazy she's like he cheated on his girlfriend or wife but like it's just flourishing and I'm looking at him

like yeah he's got like a cool goatee sleeveless shirt on stage he's ripping it looks like a dude that that I wouldn't not buy that from but And I'm looking at him like, yeah, he's got like a cool goatee, sleeveless shirt on stage. He's ripping it. Looks like a dude that I wouldn't not buy that from. But also, I'm like, seems like a guy that would overcome that, you know? And also, I don't know the ins and outs. Just a cool guy. There's cool. I mean, think about any show. We were talking about this the other day. So many cool TV shows that we've seen in the last couple of years. And I go, do you realize that most of them involve some

sort of infidelity? And it's, it depends on how likable the character is, that you're like, you're rooting them on, you know? Yeah, like a, well, that's like a, it feels like every episode of the Kardashians, though. Yes. It's like the social, well, drama. Everyone's obsessed with, like, public drama.

Oh, fuck. We want to see things shatter. We love gossip and drama. Isn't that wild? We love the feel-good stories. You see, I mean, I'll go down these dark rabbit holes. Dude, I got fucking cried for probably. You want to talk about petting a dog.

I was wiping tears away for probably two hours on a little Eddie. Late at night, couldn't sleep. Went down rabbit holes of, first of all, it was 9-11 conspiracy videos, swiped that away. Love. Swiped that away to soldiers coming home early to surprise their kids. Love. And when you're baked and you see like a guy dressed as like a bobcat and this kid's playing the cello

and you're like, turn around, Caleb, your dad's back from Iraq and surprised he's also a bobcat. And then he takes off the bobcat thing and the kid's like, ah! And then he's like, dad, and they fucking cry or at basketball games or wherever

or these ones are now getting me and probably because being a child of divorce and my sister being adopted, which by the way, I used to, and we just talked about this and I'll get back to that in a second. When my sister and I used to fight a lot,

I used to throw her being adopted in her face a lot. She goes, do you remember doing that? I go, oh, I'm so sorry. I go,

but you were, you were a cunt. Yeah. And you were adopted. And you were adopted. So it wasn't new information. Sorry about that. And I'm not sorry now that I think about it. But I said to her, I go, I started doing this bit on stage where I talk about our fights and I go, yeah, I go, we're good now, but typical sibling rivalry, you know, she'd throw a Ninja Turtle in the toilet, you know, I'd fart in a cup, make her smell it. She'd pass out, wake up, lock me in the garage. I'd escape, lock her in the garage. She'd escape, throw another turtle in the toilet, make fun of me for being a fat kid and having bigger tits than our mom. She was adopted, so I was like, you mean my mom? And then that usually was the end of the fight.

But what a fucked up thing to do as a kid. Yeah. Mean. But, you know, sibling stuff is— Yeah, but that's a deep—like, I thought she was going to be like, you call me stupid or I... A room smelled. I used to dislocate my sister's arms all the time. Well, that's cool. Yeah, I would yank her arms so hard I'd pop it out.

Okay, well, my God. When I was playing with her, I would just whip her around and dislocate her arm. And then one time she got her hand stuck at the VCR and she was grabbing something and then she got nervous because it clamped down maybe or something and she pulled too fast and then she did it.

She was crying and my dad was like, I didn't do it. This time I didn't do it. Of all times. Yeah, isn't that so? Kids are resilient. By the way, the VCR?

The tape was too far back. Sticking your hand in there? What are you doing? Dude, that's like putting your dick in a glory hole that you've never seen before. Well, fun. Okay, bad example. No, it's more like sticking your dick in a glory hole that you've never seen before. Well, fun. Okay, bad example.

No, it's more like sticking your hand down the sinkerator thing. Oh, whoa. You're like, I think the fork's down there. Oh, panic, panic. Just waiting. Yeah, always subconsciously, you're like, someone's going to come around the corner and go, flip. You know, in the last place we lived in, we didn't have one of those things, and I actually

was like, oh, man, why don't we have one? Loved it, because we had a little net catcher and threw it away, and I also never had to think about sticking my hand down in the sink. It was a little bit... It was almost better. And I was like, wow, those things are always broken or clogged or screwed up or they smell. Yeah. And I thought, that's actually old...

Sometimes old school is the right school. Sometimes. Sometimes you're like, man, the OG version is better. Well, we all do that. How many times have you had that conversation? is better. Well, we all do that. How many times have we had that conversation? I also do think that there is a lot of value in the

comparison of like, music was better when we came up. Sports were better. Like, you look at the NBA now. Yeah, dude, way softer. There's never a fight. It's pushing no one to get... It's just different now. It's so different. Different. That's a better way to say it. It's a shooter game. It's just all... Sitcoms. You go, sitcoms were better. Well, yeah, but we were in the

sitcom world. There were less channels. Right. We didn't have the money or or ability to think bigger than that the uh succession sopranos that wasn't we were looking at fucking danny tanner and and steve urkel it was like sopranos was like the first series that opened it up that was like holy shit like you can make like really like cool deep dark artsy sexy long form, for me, I mean, there was a lot of other things that existed, but Sopranos was the first time I was like, holy shit. Just started it. In your life? You've never seen Sopranos?

Psych. We got you there. We got you there. We got you there. Where? Are these on cameras? You're on my new prank call code. Fuck you, Andrew.

Fuck you, Andrew. Please sign up below to donate to our fuck you campaign right now. Every dollar donated is going to fuck me way more. That's the first time you've ever seen it? I can't get enough. Wow. I'm two episodes in. Oh, my God.

Wow, dude. The through line of him in the therapy. Is that the whole show? Shh, don't give it away. Spoiler alert. You might have to. Tom Hanks funks Jenny while she's got HIV. And that's how Gump ends.

Is he smart or is he like me? Cry. If you want to talk about another cry moment, anytime it would pop up on TBS. Give me cry moments in a movie. Go. Give me your best cry moment. Is he smart or is he stupid? He's the smartest fucking kid. He didn't say stupid. He says is he like me?

Yeah, which we didn't want to say but every sort of burgers and tism. And so he looks up and he's like, I'm watching Burt and Ernie. And he's like, that's my favorite character. And then Haley Joel was like, you always going to talk like that? No. And then they took him to the bus and then Jenny passed like two days later. But yeah, when that moment's a good one.

Oh, man. I got one for you. Go ahead. Planes, trains, and automobiles. Oh, my God. I like me. John Candy. I got one for you. Go ahead. Planes, trains, and automobiles. Oh my God. I like me. John Candy. I like me.

My wife likes me. Oh my God, dude. That rattle ripped me every time. I'll give you another candy moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uncle Buck, no. Cool Runnings. Oh yeah.

The end of that movie, dude, when they fucking break down. Oh my God. I'm not joking. Like, I know that's kind of a, it's a Disney, those type of Disney movies were so, um, I don't know, dude. Genuine. I'm not joking. I know that's kind of a Disney... Those type of Disney movies were so... I don't know, dude.

Genuine. The story was great. It was really nice. It was really wholesome. But Candy adds so much to it. Oh my god. The guy was beyond his... you know, any really... I don't think he was ever acting. I wish there was a biopic or at least some sort of... It was probably a book just about

his life. I'd love to see a documentary actually and hearing all the people that knew and loved him talk about him. And sometimes when there hasn't been one, part of me starts to wander down this road of like, oh, was he just like a wife? No, he was a good dude. He was. Yeah, he was a good dude. But why haven't people come out to really? I mean, some things you got to let, you know, let sleeping dogs lie, you know? Like some things are so, I think sometimes you're like, why are we, why are we doing this?

Just leave it alone. It was so nice how it was. What do you think? It's the same thing with, you know, with Farley. It's almost like, leave it alone. I was just going to say, Paul's unbelievable. And I, I, he's going to probably dump, uh, everything he's got into that. And, you know, but man, I, but you're right.

My initial thought was like oh yeah because there's somewhere you're just like how do you there's i don't know if you can really win there the legend is bigger than the story so it's like we already feel a type of way about it it's hard to like you know retroactively be like re-drumming up the fantasy you already have about somebody. I know Candy's son. He's a great dude, Chris. Chris Candy. Yeah.

And he's a great dude. Cool dude, funny, actor. Sounds like Wonka's competitor. It is. Chris, yeah, and his brother, Steve Chips. Steve Chips.

Yeah, Steve Chips. The inventor of all potato chips. Well, not all, but most, to be honest with you. Can I tell you something real quick? Business class, senior year of high school, we had a Vietnam War vet named Mr. Moore, not all, but most, to be honest with you. Can I tell you something real quick? Business class, senior year of high school, we had a Vietnam War vet

named Mr. Moore and he was a short-looking guy with beard, glasses, just walking around, all right, all right, great businessman. He would always throw out extra credit.

He loved to just give out extra credit. He'd go, great business. First of all, Vietnam War vet, he would face the class like I am now. The door to enter the class

was behind him and people would always come in during the class to give a note to the teacher and he broke a kid's nose because the kid tapped him on the shoulder and he goes, and the kids were like, what the fuck? He's like, what did I tell you about coming up behind me? Vietnam War, man!

Vietnam War! Another day in class, the kid was clicking his pen. It sounded like somebody was loading a fucking gun. He just goes, what the fuck is that? And then Josh was like that. And then Miss World goes God fucking and just walks out and I look over at Josh

and I go good one Josh kid starts crying way to go Adam yeah I know dude and then the last one was my buddy Dale Tan Asian kid

took a picture in class and he screams fucking Charlie and walks out of the fucking room Charlie? yeah dude and walks out of the

walks out of the room you can't drum it up you can't do that You can't do that. You can't do that. The writing's on the wall. But he would do this thing with extra credit. He'd go, famous businessman, famous businessman. Who do we got?

Who do we got? And he'd say somebody like, you know, Warren Buffett. Warren Buffett. And then the guy who created McDonald's is- Ray Kroc. Yeah. And so we'd say those. And then I'd just start going, Mark Costco.

Mark Costco. 10 points. Adam Ray. John Payless Shoes. Adam Ray, 20 points. Alan Baskin and Steve Robbins. Adam Ray, on fire, three in a row. And I'm just looking over my best friend, Adam French, and I'm like, dude.

You're getting points for creativity no matter what. Yeah. Kim Jamba Juice. Adam Ray. Adam Ray. Doesn't stop, won'tamba Juice. Adam Wright. Adam Wright. Doesn't stop, won't stop, can't stop. Tammy Target. And if he stops you, he goes, she did not start Target.

She did not start that. They acquired it. That was just a coincidence. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to, yeah. Check your facts. Yeah, check your facts, Adam Wright. But there is, I think, the biopic stuff, better chance to get it made if it's more in the

past, right? Because we have seen less no less like mahalali like i just feel like more people are probably like oh yeah i want to see what that life was like farley you we we've seen so much yeah well i'm sure they're gonna dig up a lot of great stuff i was gonna say candy what's wild is oh yeah i'm sorry no no when i went sometimes uh you know i've only hung with him a few times and he's friends with a couple other people I know and uh but when I do um there are a couple of moments that I I look at him and I'll go oh man it's just like you look just like your dad

but I would never say it you can't say it that's so because it's a weird thing to say but I he will look exactly like a movement or a thing and I'm like, holy shit. Bro, that's so awesome. It's kind of wild. Norm MacDonald's son has that. I saw him, a clip of him accepting an award on Norm's behalf at a Canadian, you know, Emmys or something. And it was a weird award though, not even Canadian Emmys,

like just an award show that was, you know. He's like, yeah, I like it. Have you seen this kid at all? Uh-uh. He is a carbon copy and it's awesome and it's really kind of emotional to watch. How old is he? I want to say 24, 25 maybe. Mid-20s, yeah.

And he goes, oh, I'm accepting this award for the Donnie Chipper Comedy Award. You know, I always remember before my dad died, he said, God, I wish I... Too bad I never got to win a Donnie Chipper Award. Just kind of start shitting on the whole thing. Just like he would have done. Oh, it was... And everyone's dying. I want to see what he looks like.

Martin Short was... All these Canadian greats were there to kind of also honor him. Were you there? You were present for this? No, I just watched the clip on YouTube. What's his son's name? Oh, man, I don't know.

Fuck it, old. His name's name? Oh, man, I don't know. Fucking old. His name's old? Put it together, dude. Okay. We'll be right back. Dude, tell me, by the way, as long as I've known you, we've known each other

for a long, long time. Long, long time. People may know. We've been... Since we both started, I think. Big time since we both started. Which is extra cool in just... People don't realize, and I'll let you get to what you're going to say.

People don't realize how cool it is from... I mean, I get messages or people come at me sometimes being like, it's so cool, right? Yeah, it looks like it. Pretty close. Yeah. About knowing somebody as long as you have, but being in it. And there's an extra level for us of just really knowing the grind of it.

So just an extra respect. Well, the history. The history. But also what's really cool to me is that talking to you now is no different than when I talk to you when we first started hanging out. No, it's the same.

It is the same. Nothing changed. But then just things are cooler and more opportunities and more fun experiences. Well, and the growth has been great to watch. Yeah. Come here.

He's got some. Oh, thank you. For both of us? Look at this. You get a smoothie for him? No, no. That's for him. That's for him.

You know what? Is it a boba tea? No, it's just a smoothie. I didn't eat today. You're smoothing it. You know, should I? No. I mean, bro, I would smoothie over food all day.

Actually, that's not true. There's certain foods I need to eat. No, food I need. But I haven't eaten this morning because I've been running around like a madman. I don't eat probably till the afternoon. I'm just not hungry till then. Never in the morning? Coffee and like an egg just to tide me through. That's enough.

One egg? Alright. Five. Good boy. You know what's so funny? I'm a two egg guy, but then you'll go to a place and they're like, our omelets are made with three to four eggs. I'm like, cut it out. Oh yeah. Cut it out. Because I'm going to eat all four. I know. If it's there, but just don't do that. There's an omelet in a, there's a place and they're like, our omelets are made with three to four eggs. I'm like, cut it out. Oh, yeah. Cut it out. Because I'm going to eat all four. I know. If it's there. But just don't do that.

There's an omelet in a place called Beth's Diner in Seattle. Man vs. Food did a thing on it. They have one of those. They have an omelet that's like, I think, four feet or four by four. What are we talking about? It's unreal. And I went there after my 10-year high school graduation with two of my best buds. And we went there and it was like 4 a.m.

We made it and one of them fell asleep sitting up holding a fork to his mouth. And we tried to get, we got like one square. And it was like, and they douse it with hash browns. Yeah, I can't do it. It looks amazing when you're fucked up. Yeah, yeah. But then you just realize you're a barnyard animal. He's in bad guns. That poor man versus food thing. Twelve eggs? You just looked that up?

That's his whole job. That's the only reason you pay the guy. Yeah, man versus food. Yeah, and poor Adam Richman. I hope I get a shirt out of this. You know, and it was just, but dude, he was just sweating. I mean, he had to quit that

because it was so bad for him. Yeah. And then some other guy took over. Morgan Spurlock just died. But I don't think that was related to McDonald's. I think it was cancer.

Was it? Yeah, I think it was cancer. From the Big Macs. He was an alcoholic. Oh, fuck, man. That's what Super Sesame. He was an alcoholic. Oh, fuck, man. I had heard he had a trouble. He was struggling with drugs and alcohol. He had said, he admitted that before.

But did he die from an alcohol-related disease? I thought he died from cancer. I mean, cancer is everything. Cancer is everything. You're so in right now. Thank you. Hey, it's me. I'm cancer.

I'm everywhere. You're going to right now. Thank you. Hey, it's me. I'm cancer. I'm everywhere. You're going to get me. In here, we pour whiskey.

You know, speaking of DP, Dr. Phil's interviewing Trump, or did. And I think it comes out tonight. And I'm so excited to watch. I did see a clip.

You interviewed Trump? No, I'm sorry. The real Dr. Phil interviewed Donald Trump. Oh, dude, I was like, holy shit. And it's coming out. I know. For people that know, everyone on this show probably knows, your Dr. Phil was such a great, fun character that you've now parlayed into something so wonderful, and we all watched

it happen, and I thought, oh, he's humming along. He's got something really, really wonderful with that. He sent me a bunch of really nice texts, which were nice, but also... Well, I didn't do... My assistant did that, but I'm glad you did get them. I know. He signed, not Andrew. No, I did.

I did it because I wanted to show you love. And I love you for that, but it also... And you know this. When you get those little boosts from Buds that you, you know, we don't need it, but we all do without thinking about it. But it gave me a little extra juice of like, I feel like I'm, you know, alright, cool, I'm on the right path with this.

You know, because I'm like, I respect you comedically offstage not so much, but onstage a lot. And so I'm like, alright, cool, if Andy's into it, then I'm'm and you're all good yeah and your episode with Bobby look

the one we just did with Sally and Dax Shepard and Rick Glassman and Blake Griffin popped by and did a great bit and then stayed

and partied all night and we talked about you and the charity event and I think I'm gonna try to pop on that with you guys yes

and but your episode with Bobby is there's just no top in it and I'm sorry to try to pop on that with you guys. Yes. And, but your episode with Bobby is, there's just no top of it. And I'm, I'm sorry. I mean. That was one of the most fun nights we had. Me and Bob Lee were out there.

It was people, the amount of messages I still get. And the, and it was honestly a turning point in the show because it was the first time I added another element with like Fahim. And it was the first time. That was awesome. That the show and watching you laugh so hard is like one of my favorite things. Well, Fahim. You had no idea what that was going to look like no Fihm's one of those guys

he can really he can make me laugh harder than almost any comedian in the business he's unbelievably talented but having that and then the way that like

we brought a guy up on stage and the kiss and then you smoked a huge joint and I smoked a joint which I'd never done and then the rap battle yeah it was great so that

there was just it made me go oh that's what this show is yeah i already was open to like no rules it goes how it goes i'm driving i always say to people i don't give any prep because people ask questions even dax i'd never met so we chatted for a bit backstage so i could get some let him know like get a sense of my vibe sure and he did well but we never had three guests on at the same time too which was a challenge and really listening and divvying up and trying to let everybody be themselves.

But also, I'm still, you know, we were all figuring it out. Sal and Rick know each other. Sal and Rick and Dax. So it was new kind of just finding that rhythm. But now knowing, like, okay, cool. Like, each show is going to have, like, the next one's. Oh, and we also had Justin Willman on this last show. The comedy magician.

Yeah, he's great. So he opened with, unreal, dude. Yeah. Staff is losing their mind. I mean, and so many people, fans of him. Next show is

Howie Mandel, Nick Swartz, and I haven't announced this yet, but now I am. And John Kite is going to play Jeff Bridges, full-on prosthetic. Cool.

And Mark Summers, the host of Double Dare, is coming to do a whole Double Dare thing. Be careful, don't get slimed. Because it's jizz. Mm-hmm. The slime, as we know from watching the Nickelodeon documentary. Yeah, yeah careful. Don't get slimed. Because it's jizz. Mm-hmm. The slime,

as we know from watching the Nickelodeon documentary. Yeah, yeah. If anything was revealed on that whole thing. And I also want to say the, I think your Bad Friends episode with Phil

is up to 55 billion views. Is it really? How many views does that do? No. What is it really? Real quick, it jumped to a mil real quick. Oh, really?

I was watching that shit. You know what's so funny? I never watch things back, because if we live inside of them, I just want to remember them how they were. I am the exact same way. Oh, 1.8, wow. That's pretty good, right? How many months ago? Five months. Wow. Okay.

It was the first time, too, that I did an intimate film. I really liked it. I really like it. I like that you've done the character. You're going to tour around the country with it, or what? Probably in two weeks, announcing. Well, you can announce it. I like that you've done the character. I hope you, you're going to tour around the country with it or what? Probably in two weeks announcing. Well, you're going to announce it now. This will come out in two weeks.

I don't know. We haven't locked it. I've gotten pitched. Well, just say it. Who gives a shit? So, I believe there'll be a Dr. Phil live theater tour.

And I believe a Chicago theater is on the, let's go. I'm going to do everything in my power to fly out for. Where do you know when it's gonna be maybe Chicago fall everything's gonna be in the fall

this fall yeah it's gonna be like Friday and Saturday I think two months two weeks out of the month and they're going for it these promoters a bunch of them

I mean look the show exists at the store and the intimacy of it there is so beautiful and the staff gets jacked up for it

I feel like I'm taken care of. We got dialed in with the sound and audio that's spatially conducive for my guys that film it. It's easy. Jelly Roll had never been to the comedy store. Blake had once. But there's a cool thing there where I'm bringing in people. It's not the reason they're coming, but it's added to like. Yeah.

Jelly Roll was like, holy shit. Pauly came on, took him around, gave him a tour. That's extra cool for me, man, where it's like, oh,

and just the magic of the store, working there, being there for so long. It's never lost me on the main room stage too, that I'm like, I'm, have created a show now that is so fun, flexing as many of the tools as I've,

you know, honed or whatever, but also it's like, dude, I remember when I first would come through, and I like fucking Robin Williams and the, and his comic store players there, obviously Chappelle and prior specials. Um, I don't know, man. It's just that main room is just always so like, whoa to me.

And I know we, it's, we, I'll fall into weeks and months, probably like anybody of taking it for granted and just being like running in, doing your spot. But some, uh, more often than not, I'll try to really like, if taking it for granted and just being like running in doing your spot but some More often than not I'll try to really like if I'm sitting around and hanging like looking around being like the fuck out of here Man, yeah, but it's nice to be reflective. You need those moments, but truth be told it's the show Hopefully is gonna be you know, it's be a little part of like a little People fly out for it man. It's wild dude, but it's also it's cool and you know this because I mean you've you're a enormous example of this of creating your own good luck but also creating something that is yours you

know to where it's like and i think i said that to you when we were talking about some uh some money stuff and it was like it's cool that all these people like that you and bobby want to jump on so quick was huge for the show oh yeah because you guys are a fucking force well i mean you're you're my boy. Totally. But I was also like, this is going to be so much fun with me and that idiot. And now, but that has,

but that type of shit, the amount of people that hit me up that I really respect, that know and sometimes don't know, because of seeing that, we're like, all right, like, that I had bugged, we're like, wow, I just watched,

like, sorry I didn't get back to you. So down. Oh, cool. That looks so fun. Well, that makes me feel good. We did our part. Because I wanted to go and have fun. I was like, I'm just, you know,

now in my career, all I want to do is have more fun. I just want to have more fun. I don't know. I just want to do things that I want to do and I don't want to do things anymore I don't want to do. Bro, that's why I started doing the show. I was losing joy. Not for the business, but I was just not you know, and I've talked about this with you sometimes,

at the time when we were making videos, when you were doing Dunkin' Rocks, I'm doing sketches, like, to me, that was such a fulfilling time because it was like, man, creating shit from the ground up, getting to, you know, no rules. Well, there's no rules. Yeah, and trying to really find your way and figure out what you're doing,

and it's like, that's what I was like, fuck, I just got to, you know, the strike was going on and it was like, I need, I don't want to, I'm doing standup all the time. And not that I'm getting burnt out, but I'm just like, it's getting monotonous. Yeah. And like you, knowing that I have other skills to bring and the stage is what you make of it. So it's like, you guys with your bad friends too, I mean, look at that. It's like there's so many things to do and why get settled into like,

I'm just a comic or whatever. And it's like, I'm not. And so- No, I'm a comedian. Yeah, there's a difference. You're not just a comic, you're a comedian. I like to touch a few bases. I like to, character stuff is fun.

It's really, when you get to explore, it's the best version of it when you're like i get to explore like i get to explore yeah they're exploring you know as an audience but it's so nice that when you get to explore and you're not just kind of giving them you know it's almost like uh you're the huge used to do tours at universal yeah you know it's like you're not giving them the same tour you get to fucking totally change it up and and you get to lie about who lives in that building you know no spielberg actually sleeps inside there oh okay did you take my tour?

Yeah. A lot of times I got busted from bosses secretly riding my tram, being like, you got to stop saying that Kurt Rambis filmed Escape from L.A. It's Kurt Russell. I was like, nobody cares. No, but he was playing basketball in the morning, and then he filmed in the afternoon. Or I would say, I mean, the biggest thing is when I freaked out at Jaws

and made a 10-year-old girl cry because I was fresh out of BFA acting school from USC. And I was like, sweet mother of God, rip my sunglasses off, jump out of the tram, would get close to going into the water. And I'm like, Steve, Steve. And I come back. And one day, dude, I don't know how, I think I just was hopped up on my own adrenaline, fucking produced some tears. And I get back on the tram and they had just installed cameras that are on you. And so I'm fucking sitting there and I'm like, well, this was supposed to be a fun tour. Ruining a child's vacation.

On your right is Wisteria Lane where the Desperate Housewives live. I can't do this. And I walk in and then this kid, I just hear this kid. And then I hear this dad look up and he goes, hey, man. And I was like, okay, he just knew that. He's like, hey, actor boy. Yeah, slow down. Enough with the bitch.

Slow down. Just bawling. There's the friend's fountain. Anybody want to jump in? Oh, my God, yeah. Anytime buddies would ride the tram, I'd always make up movies that were almost erotic films and say they starred them over there.

That's where Kramer jumped in the tank in Seinfeld, and that tank was also used for Deep Throat 6 starring Josh Pylee. That's for him, his buddies. A few people who just got it were like... By the way,

he's on a book tour right now. I just saw a couple interviews. Do you see these, Kramer? Oh! I think it's a book tour. I'm almost positive. But he did like The View or something like that.

Didn't he just do The View? Andrew, it's... I'm sorry, dude. The interviews are... The video will live in infamy and you can't come back from it Hey You said the N-word

Not once, not twice, but three times And you screamed it to the street You screamed it on the street And you pointed to the feet And you said the N-word You said the N-word And you meant it Is he on a book tour?

Yeah You know what's so harmful about that? Yeah, and he does that. I don't know what I was... Dude, dude, and then... Playing a character. How about when he goes on Letterman? A character.

And Jerry's like, you want to apologize? And Dave goes, and Letterman... This is not funny! Letterman didn't give a fuck. He's like, this is great TV. So he's like,

Michael, how are ya? And he goes, I've been better, Dave. And Dave goes, I bet so! Yeah, I bet you have. What a week, huh? Yeah.

The best part of that video, too, Frasier Smith getting up right after Michael drops the N-bombs and walks off stage. And Frasier goes, all right. All right. How about that, guys? These are the jokes. Can I tell you a quick story?

So funny. A week later, a week earlier, I met Michael Richards at the Belly Room. Stop me if I've told this story before. I don't think I have. He's in the Belly Room just getting back into stand-up. I walk back there, Belly Room in the Comedy Store. It's a bringer show.

I'm about, I don't know, can you mind looking up the year that, I think it was, I want to say it was four to five years in. You found a joke book. It just said say N-word in it over and over and over. Well, it was my joke book. And he was like, do you mind if I borrow this? Well, then who'd you get that from? From me. I learned it from you, Dad.

And so he started stand-up two months into this. Wait, that was when he did the video? That was when the thing came out? God, that was so long ago. Wild, dude. So he's in there. Still can't recover from that. That's crazy, dude. from that that's crazy dude

no that's so long ago let me ask you this if it was just an if there was no video proof and it was an article and it was like you know

hearsay and it was like he did this I've been trying to rack my brain about does it have the same impact because then people were just like

nah the video is so alarming it's just so hard to watch and it wasn't one he doubled down that's where my stomach to watch and it wasn't one he doubled down that's where my stomach goes oh

and then he starts walking around and the guy's screaming back being like that's not cool and the guy sounds like that's not cool and the guy sounds like a

like uh oh careful you weren't gonna do it were you I just Jesus Adam I mean for comedy's sake

wow very funny if I had just done that without actually but but hey, I know how to read the room. He should put a special called Read the Room. That was my first special on YouTube. He should call his special Read the Room.

That's so funny. He really should. Or Oops. So he's in the green room, and I go, holy shit, what's up, man? He goes, hi, how are you? Wow. And I go, dude, what are you doing here? He goes, oh, I'm going to do stand-up on the show tonight.

I go, awesome. Are you getting back into it? He goes, yeah. I started stand-up. I go, yeah, you started stand-up. It's kind of how you got going, right? He goes, so I started to do a show called Fridays. And then I got on this sitcom.

And that kind of did well. It took me out of it for a while. And I go, what sitcom was that? He goes, oh, it was a show called Science. I go, dude, I'm fucking with you. I'm sorry. Amazing. Dude, this is wild that you're here right now.

You were my favorite part of the show. No joke. I mean, truly, dude, he was unreal on that show. Yeah, he was so funny. Goes up. He's like, I don't really. Oh, I go, it's working out some material. Yeah.

He goes, I don't really have an act. And I go, bing, bong, goes the racism. Bing, bong, here it comes. And I go, well. Should I talk about the Jews? Talk about the Mexicans? He starts running all this by me. So he goes up there and slaughters for about 15 minutes.

Two drunk girls in the front. Does crowd work with them. Berates them. It's fun. He's doing crazy. You know, you guys driving home? Yeah. Yeah.

And they're like, do you want to come with us? He's like, oh, boy. Oh, that's great. Crushing, dude. And I'm like, wow, dude. And I'm like, in my head, I'm like, I'm watching the early days of Michael Richards getting back into stand-up. And who knows what? But this is exciting

That's why I'm walking away from took away a little your shine at that night and you put on that n-word hex on him You're like say the n-word at your next show. He asked me before he went up. He goes. What should I talk about? I go speak from the heart, dude Whenever you're pushed up against a wall Say what you want say what you mean see what you mean, but mean what you say Mm-hmm, so literally a week two later, and I'm just like, and I remember, you know, I told a few buddies that, oh shit, I met Michael Richards, and they're all hitting me up

being like, dude, what'd you tell him, you know? Because that was, I mean, and that was also the beginning of TMZ, man. They could not have, were they sitting around waiting for a video like that, or do you think they were like, now that we have this? How did somebody get a video of it in the first place? It wasn't from the factory. Somebody recorded it.

On like a flip phone, dude. What are the chances? This was pre-iPhone too, right? No. Yeah, 2006. 2006 was just when the iPhone 1 came out, like, oh, fine. But it was grainy footage. It was not clear. No, it wasn't good. It would have been great if you sat in the room with him really quiet, didn't say anything to him. And then finally just go,

hard R, huh? You gonna hard R it? I have a new joke about my dog pickle she barks anytime there's uh say black people on stage and i told my buddy i go fuck i think she's racist and i go uh she also barks at like dogs but to me i'm just like she's jealous she didn't get to read for that part but when she barks at black people he goes she goes dude it's probably just coincidence i go she barks with a hard, he goes, dude, it's probably just coincidence. I go, she barks with a hard R. Yeah, we can tell. That's great.

That's great. She really does, by the way. Your dog is racist. Every time I'm around her, I'm always like, that's a racist dog. But that's why I love her. How do all the dates go? Do you still have more coming up? I've only got one more. San Francisco.

I did six clubs, and then I'm going to do theaters in the fall, a big fall theater tour. Right up into shooting it. Right up into shooting the special. Yeah. How do you feel? It's nice to take your time with it, isn't it? I wanted to, I just, I just want to peel through it the way I want to peel through it. You know, there's stuff that I want to like manipulate more and all that stuff. And how do you know, how do you know when you're, and this is a question I get asked a lot from nom comics, you don't, they're like, how do you know when you're this is a question I get asked a lot from nom comics you don't they're like how do you know when you're done

I'm like bro there's stuff I can't help but keep playing with it's on my special like and subscribe dropping June 16th

It's a piece. It would be a great complimentary piece. But, you know, can find a way to work it elsewhere. But you just don't know, man. No.

You don't. I guess you just, maybe having the deadline of the special, you know? Yeah, I think you kind of know when you need to put something to bed, like, oh, I think I'm done doing it

and I just kind of want it to stop. But you could always keep playing with something. I mean, you know, it's like, if someone who's a painter, if you're talking to someone who likes paint, they could keep adding shit forever. At some point you have to stop and just go, okay, okay, I can't. I can't keep doing this, otherwise I'm going to go nuts. Unless you're Bob Ross.

He could have painted trees until he passed away. Yeah, but he wouldn't paint a tree and then go back to the tree. Once he painted the tree, it was done. Do you think he fucked like that? Do you think he was like, I'm just going to eat your little pussy right here? Happy little pussy. A couple of little fingers right here. Happy little pussy.

I put a fist in. That might be a thumb or my toe. Oh, is that a bird? She's like, Bob, please just pound me. Will you just pound me, Bob? Dude, come on. Just flip me over. Put on the strap on.

That documentary about him was miserable. Oh. It made me so sad. Why? Because they stole from him. Who did? They stole tons of money from him. The people that kind of were his producers, I don't remember

their names. Oh, that's so fucking sad. Yeah, they all but left that guy with like... Right? They were like... What is it? What are their names? It was like a couple. And they had all his... You know, they had the rights to all of his shit and all that stuff. Well, because there's no way

there's no way that that's a character so that makes me feel worse no that was him there's no way that he was like I'm gonna paint a little couple mountains right here and then I'll finish up

we'll see you next week Sesame Street's coming up next PBS the home of perfectly balanced shows I hope that's what it stands for I'll see you next week everybody cut Jesus fucking Christ

I have to shit like a fucking Jew You know And they're like Wait Bob Cameras are still rolling man We're trying to get some B-roll For the intro Bob will you stop

That's like that guy Ah fuck you Andrew By the way Your mom called last night Oh no Wait did she seriously Yeah she asked me for a titty fuck Whoa

I told her I'd paint one for her instead Thank you Bob I'm not into fat tits Have you seen the guy That does the Winnebago videos That loses his mind Whoa. I told her I'd paint one for her instead. Thank you, Bob. I'm not into fat tits. Have you seen the guy that does the Winnebago videos that loses his mind? That guy's like one of the funniest characters. Have you seen this guy? Oh. Look at Winnebago, the Winnebago guy. Andrew. He's like trying to sell Winnebagos. Look at the smile on my face. He's like, that's a fucking piece of shit! He loses his mind, dude. He's like, it doesn't even fucking work! He's like kicking the fucking- it's so funny. It's so funny. That is is exactly the guy though who's like an infomercial guy who behind the scenes but no

they say bob ross was that guy he was he was him what a bummer dude he was him he was him he was him that's a guy that was him oh i'd watch a you said there's a doc on him on bob ross yeah i remember camera what it was i guess you couldn't do a biopic it's not interesting enough right or what i mean unless there was what on what bob ross no they guess you couldn't do a biopic. It's not interesting enough, right? Or what, unless there was... What? On what? Bob Ross. No, they did kind of do... A biopic, not a doc. What was it?

Docs on Netflix. Bob Ross, Happy Accidents. Happy Accidents. Betrayal and Greed. See, and that... But you need that. You know what I want to do is a doc like that, but a fake doc about Chef Boyardee. Because...

And I actually made a fake poster for it, and was like, would you guys watch this? Oh, the engagement. The comments, the likes, to where? And it was me in a full fucking Italian wardrobe. Because I did this thing, my senior at USC, we had a dance class, right? We had to do a presentation for our final

that was a movement. It was a movement class. And so I did this thing, and it was thing. It was no rules, open door policy. And so I came up with this idea to do, I had all this voiceover, and it was like inner thoughts of Chef Boyardee. I mean, come on. Smoked pot much in college?

Yeah. And so I dressed up as a fucking chef. I wake up, and I just have a tape playing of like, and there's like soft piano music, and hear rain. And I, every morning I wake up and I just have a tape playing of like, and there's like soft piano music and hear rain. Like every morning I wake up and look out the window, dreaming of my next ravioli concoction. My wife, my wife is dead, my kids or whatever. And it was all singing. I look out the window and it was just like a weird, like, but I was moving, but it was a lot of waking up, stretching. And then I would do like a weird dance across the floor to the kitchen. I go,

oh yes. And by the way, I danced to the fridge and it was just like and all my you know buddies in the class are laughing movement teachers like f and uh no she gave me like a c and um but uh but he is another guy that there is some um greed and money and like family type of shit and also in doing it i looked up i'm like oh there's enough about him out there, about, you know, being this Italian guy and getting in and then the creation of it. But so truly little info to where I'm like, oh, the creative freedom here is through the roof.

Yeah, you should do. You just gotta, you gotta be careful if it toes that line of like, what Seinfeld just did. What was that called? The Pop-Tart movie. Toast to- No, this would be a great-

Unfrosted, yeah. Did you see that movie? Yeah. Are you afraid movie. Toast to- No, this would be a- Unfrosted. No, no, no. Did you see that movie? Yeah. Are you afraid? You can say it. Yeah, it was- Say it. Go ahead.

It was- Say it. Go ahead. Go ahead and say it. It was entertaining. And I love that every moment was somebody that I really enjoy comedically. Yeah. Beck Bennett, Crushed, Tom Lennon was great.

Yeah. All the SNL guys for the Snap, Crackle, Pop. Schumer was funny. Billennon was great. All the SNL guys for the Snap, Crackle, Pop. Schumer was funny. Bill Burr was great. But it was just a little too campy for me. I guess that's it. And also I go, so I guess I would have loved a more Michael Keaton in The Founder. Ooh, baby.

If you're going to do a movie about, and shout out to Rob Siegel who wrote that, the guy who put me in Pam and Tommy and Chippendales. He nailed that. And I thought the tone of that was great. That's how I want to see a fast food or a snack movie. It would be more like that. Because then Mario Lopez did that, I think, Lifetime The Colonel for KFC movie.

Oh, I never saw that. Me neither, but I saw a thing for it and I was like, oh, that's going to be a real jokey type thing. Now, I would want this to be like a dark comedy, But funny still... I shopped where he went and murdered someone the night he actually... Or maybe he saw his dad. Maybe... What's the movie? Analyze This.

Wow. That... Right? I think that... Analyze That. Yeah. Where he sees... Right? His dad murdered in the restaurant. Isn't that De Niro? And that's why he needs therapy? I think Billy Crystal finds that out. I think I'm not too far off. I don't remember. So maybe it's like maybe he saw that. Maybe he's older. Maybe his kid goes on a

search to find him because he hears this. Maybe it's that. Yeah, the lore of him. He's camped up somewhere in Italy. Yeah, totally. I like this. We'll write it. Alright. We'll hit up... A recipe for seduction. Ooh, I like that name. A recipe for seduction. Mario Lopez is the colonel of all people. KFC or Popeyes?

You're asking what I like better. KFC or Popeyes? Bro. Ooh. Well, I mean, I've had more of KFC. Why is that? Because just like location-wise, it's scary? Yeah, and Popeyes, I just, well, when I was at SC, I had Popeyes more.

Because South Central. What I like about Popeyes is it's always in a bad location, and it's a little scary. They're usually in urban locations, I think. Well, no, every time you go to Popeye's, you're always like, this feels unsafe. Yeah. I bet the chicken is good. There's a lot of viral fights. The floor's sticky.

The floor's sticky. Yeah. It's usually a red flag. And a couple of lights are always out. It's never fully illuminated. Somebody's asleep. Yeah. M's usually a red flag. And a couple, there are a couple lights are always out. It's never fully illuminated. Yeah. Mashed potatoes are cold.

Oh, dude. Anytime I think like, oh, man, what a crazy notion or crazy thing. Just then I thought of a fat guy being so horny and so hungry that he gets a warm bucket of mashed potatoes from KFC.

And you know what I'm going to say with me, folks. He eats it. Sticks his mouth in it after he fucks it. And then I'm like, no, there's probably a... The fact that with OnlyFans and even Craigslist Misconnection, there's so many of these things where you're just like, wow, I didn't know that was happening. So now when I think of an idea like that,

What are we waiting for, dude? Let's turn up. What are we doing? Let's eat it right now. You know what's funny, though? When people can eat all that... Like, I see guys online, they can eat, like,

an unbelievable amount of food, and I don't get that the mukbang videos I'll throw up I'll puke everywhere I see those guys have you ever seen that dude there's a dude

I don't even know his name but he eats he does a fish tank filled with have you ever seen this there's a guy on TikTok that does a fish tank filled with whatever

they tell him to and he'll eat the whole fish tank full so filled up with Campbell's soup everything and he'll tell you how many gallons it is in the fish tank.

Do fish, like, fish tank guy. It's unbelievable. But one time this guy, he's so loony, it was, like, energy drink, like maybe Celsius or something like that, and he drank it with a fork. Someone was like, drink it with a fork. And that's how slow, and it's a time lapse of it. Oh, my God. And he does it.

He drinks the whole thing with a fork. Do you see this guy's name? He drinks out of a fish tank. What's his name? By the way, that's what's gross about the internet. This isn't good. I'm watching. I love it.

It's not good for me to see this. You just spent five minutes. You're not getting that time back. I don't care. I don't need it. Who cares? You know what I mean? Yeah.

I got enough time. I'm dying. I got enough time. I once ate Frosted Flakes with a fork when I was post-college. Just really, really roughing it. Cereal was dinner. I remember eating a bowl when I was post-college. I've definitely eaten cereal with a fork. Cereal was dinner. I remember eating a bowl of frosted flakes, sitting there, just come back from an open mic, bombed so hard. Love those days.

And this was, by the way, I had waited at the comedy store for like three hours, and then I wasn't gonna, told I wasn't getting up, and I was just like, at least I'm playing Wolverine tomorrow. And then there's like, Tom was like, Adam, somebody didn't show up, you can go up. You can go up. You can go up.

I'm not in my space for that at all, but just, you got it. Go up there, just bomb. It was everything I was thinking about doing. Everything that I was sitting there, going over my three minutes for three hours,

now it's just gone. So I get up there, I'm just, just bombed. And then Ryan O'Neill and Jeff Dennis, who were hosting it, would always roast and toast, sorry,

just roast and poke at any young open mic-er that sucked. And, you know, and it hurt for a while, but then I remember the first time I got off and they were like, Adam Ray, I think you figured it out. And I was like, all right, that was cool. But, man, it hurt. Every time I was just like, this is a negative place. Like, I know I bombed.

Do you need to say it again for them? So I remember just bombing and them just being like Jesus fucking Christ so like not even trying to make a joke Danish and O'Neal yeah and Sweet Guys now

and uh well now as time gets older they got you good early they got me good yeah yeah I mean yeah but you know

maybe better the intimidation back then and so I'm eating the Frosted Flakes home from that and you know the slogan for Frosted Flakes they're great.

And in my head, not to be funny, I'm sad. I heard that in my head. And I kind of went, in my room, it's like, what's so funny? I go, life. He's like, no, that's Frosted Flakes. Life, we do have life cereal. We do have life cereal, yeah. I'm like, listen, dude.

Any more weed, man? Don't do that, dude. Just smoke me out, man. I lived with a guy that worked at AT&T. Hated people, but was the top salesman. Go figure. And then a guy that was a sous chef at big restaurants downtown and was drunk all the time. Drunk all the time.

So much so that he drove me in his truck to our landlord to re-sign for our lease. And he stumbles out the door and I go, whoop, you all right? And he goes, you all right? And I was like, Uber's not around yet. I get in the car. We drive down Melrose, which is kind of a tight two lane on each side road. Small road, yeah.

If you're going Melrose from La Brea and Melrose where we were, passing Paramount and you're going down, and it's narrow. If you start speeding on the far right, dude, you're hugging that curb like a it's narrow if you start speeding on the far right dude you're hugging that curb like a stepdad saying goodbye to his real kid and and We he's going like 60. It's 30 and I go whoa. I go up up up up up up just go slow down

He's like I'm good And then we get in there and we send the lease agreement myself And the other two guys we hit four or five cars and killed a whole family We did get the lease ran through all the lights, but got there on time at least scream at myself and the other two guys. After we hit four or five cards and killed a whole family. We killed a whole family, hit some cars, ran through all the lights, but got there on time. And we get in there and we're signing the lease and our guy, Gary Cleff,

guy looked like Professor X, but with maybe like, I don't know, maybe like a porn addiction. Glasses, bald head, talk like this, hey guys. By the way,

you and I both are pretty good at emulating. This is spot on. Well, I'm so fired up. You guys are going to stay in the building. This will be great. Bald glasses. Of course, we know month to month, we'll keep it going.

If anything changes, call me. You know how available I am. I'm a fun guy, but I also like to keep it clean. Business is first, but fun is also a big part of my life. No one asked about that, Gary. Any other questions from here on out? And then Sean, blackout drunk. I'm like, no, I think it's pretty standard. You guys,

whatever. Sean, say his name. I won't say his last name. Sean raises his hand. Dad, do you have seven to seven pavits? Do you have seven to seven to seven pavits? And I go, I'll actually take this first. So now I just

clock. He's blackout. So I'm like, I don't want him, I don't want to give off any reason for us to not be living here. I was paying $640 a month from 2006 to 2014 when I lived there. Wow. In a three-bedroom, two-bath. And my room was, and then I moved into the bigger room with a bathroom that was $840. Wow. Yeah.

Not bad. On the Bray and Melrose, man. That's pretty good. And so I'm like, don't fuck this up. She's like, Tevin Pevitz. And I go, I'll take this. Sean's asking, we have a friend named Tevin Pevitz. He's an up-and-coming recording artist.

Can he come by and play? What's, I guess, the noise ordinance curfew for living in the apartment? Because we want to give him his flowers, and there's a big Halloween party coming up, but Tevin Pevitz, you know, what's your, you know? And then Sean goes, no, it's Tevin Pevitz. I go, oh, pets. What's the thing about pets? Can we have a cat? Can we have a dog? What is it? And Sean goes, no, no, no. Tevin Tevin, Tevin, Tevin, Tevin Pettis. I go, oh, pets. What's the thing about pets? Can we have a cat?

Can we have a dog? What is it? You know, and Sean goes, no, no, no. Tevin Pettis has pets. Tevin Pettis has pets. And then he just kept, like, trying to, like, interject. And then finally, I just fucking kicked him under the table. And he looked at me and he goes, no, no, it's just like, dude.

Like, you remember Vince Vaughn and, like, fucking, Lock It Up, dude. Lock It Up. Lock It Up. Lock It Up the fuck. Like, you lock it up. You lock it up. No, you lock it up. I'm my boss on the fucking table right now.

Bye. You want to talk about a movie? up. I might slap Austin on the fucking table right now. Bye. You want to talk about a movie? By the way, did you let him drive home? We'll be right back. In here, we pour whiskey. Hey there, listeners. Here to tell you about Lucy. Lucy's 100% pure nicotine, always tobacco-free.

They're available in 4 mg or 8 mg, which is great. A lot of companies out there are doing 2 or 3 or 6, but 4 or 8 seems like the perfect number for me. They got mint, berry, citrus, and espresso.

Set yourself up with a subscription and have Lucy delivered straight to your door. No more weekly or daily gas station stops. I love espresso. It is very, very good.

Wild, dude. One time I broke your door. Remember? Was that the same? That same guy. Yeah. Same guy who, he texted me. Yeah.

What did we do? After our Christmas drinking video, which you can find on YouTube. We got so tanked, and then we locked ourselves out. We got so, we drank, I think, three bottles of wine and smoked three blunts and recorded,

I think it's called Drunk Christmas Album on YouTube. Yeah. And Very Sloppy Christmas. It's one of the funniest things. People don't think we're really drunk, which is the only bummer. No, we were cased.

We were gone. And it was... Busted your face open. I fell into a symbol and sliced my... Should have sliced my open and sliced a giant... drunk which is the only bummer case dude you're gone and it was uh busted your face open i fell into a cymbal and sliced my should have sliced my open and sliced you knocked over a cymbal your head hit uh the edge of the of the snare drum that's right yeah the cymbal fell with you but your head hit the snare drum because it was a blunt smack yeah it was loud and you just kept singing most wonderful time of the year and then i get up i didn't realize you were hurt i just

thought you fell i didn't i didn't see you I thought oh he just lumped down on the ground and then you got up I was like whoa dude and then at the end the ending is the best part well one of the it's all really funny and we had a great time though so much fun and then at the end I'm just bleeding and you're like so funny Wolverine and then you go you go and I go oh okay and then go to the hospital you go no you're good dude you go super funny dude it was so funny and then we go, and I go, oh, okay. And then you go to the hospital. You go, no, you're good, dude. You go, super funny, dude. It was so funny to me. And then we go home to my place because we're like, now we want to fucking smash food and kind of-

Yeah, get stoned again and talk. Yeah, and talk about- Also, and we didn't drive. No, no, no. We did not drive. No, we had my buddy- No, your buddy drove us. I think my other roommate.

Yeah, your other roommate drove us, yeah. And so I brought us home, and we had a good time, but the door was locked. So Andrew's like, fuck that. It was one of those things where you're like, door's locked. We want to get in. We know fun is just on the other side of this fucking handle. And Andrew Van Dam's my door down. It was good.

Pro fun, dude. And I was just like, whoa. Even I can't believe it worked. Do you know when you did something, and you're like, in your mind, your drunk mind, you're like, this is going to work perfect. And then you do it, and it clearly would never work like that when I did that I thought

whoa you can do that I thought that was just a movie thing in the movie thing yeah you bust the door and by the way

what does that say about how protective our doors were but you gave it a good kick though but it wasn't that hard it was just a kick it should have given

a little resistance but it just was like yeah come on in yeah your room it was bummed and then I think yeah the guy who drove me drunk the next day was like he came back and was like what happened to the door and i was like oh uh we got it we couldn't get in we fucking had an interesting locksmith stopped by yeah but then literally two um two uh two weeks later my roommate got into a debacle with a pizza delivery guy.

Because he showed up with the pizza and he, what happened again? The guy showed up with a pizza and it like in the car had slipped around a bunch. So all the slices were just looking. It had been smashed up against the side. Like it was like as if you held it vertically or something. The pizza was smushed in sideways on the thing. Oh, yeah, and this is what it is. So then my roommate goes, I'm not paying for this shit.

And he was just like, the fuck you aren't. And he was like, I'm not. And he fucking threw the pizza at the pizza delivery guy and slammed the door in his face. So the pizza delivery guy pulls an Andrew Santino and fucking kicks the door and breaks the door handle off. Perfect. And so then we get a text. My other roommate and I get a text from him being like, hey, just a heads up, got in a fight with the pizza delivery guy. He broke the door handle off. And so then we get a text. My other roommate and I get a text from him being like,

hey, just a heads up. Got in a fight with the pizza delivery guy. He broke the door handle. When are you guys coming home? He sent me a text. He's like, dude, I think we need to fix the door, the door frame, the handle, the lock. I think we actually need to move. Yeah.

Dude. The good days, baby. The best days. The good days. Adam, I love you. Is that a bit it? This was a good one. Yeah, this was so good. It flew by. It's? This was a good one. Yeah, this is so good.

alright, I have a funny idea, but how do I implement it? Do I go to the laugh factory? Do I scream the N word or do I just sit at home and write and let things marinate? And yeah, I can wear cool shoes and drive a fancy car, but do I have substance inside of me? Could I put my finger in my butt? Sure. Could I put a thumb in someone else's butt? Maybe. Do I say my own name when I come? I have to, because it's the only way to get fired up about a Wednesday. I digress. I think if you think you can, you can't. And if a 24-hour fitness closes at 11, well, you have the grounds to burn it down. We'll be right back. In here, we pour whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey,
