Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, this episode of Whiskey Ginger is brought to you by Rabbit Hole Distillery and their original works of bourbon. This stuff is good sauce. I've been squawking about this jazz for quite a while now. What I love about Rabbit Hole, they view bourbon as an artistic expression. Alright, it's a portfolio of one-of-a-kind mashed barrels using signature malted grains. Every one of their delicious small batch expressions is aged and charred and toasted barrels. A lot of people say they do both. They don't do both. Rabbit Hole just celebrated their 10-year anniversary,
Starting point is 00:00:28 and unlike most brands, they've been making their own bourbon and rye expressions in Kentucky from day one. Shout out to Kentucky. I got to tell you, I've been drinking this stuff for quite a while. I promote whiskeys that I like on the show, that I believe in on the show, and Rabbit Hole is definitely one of them. This is that High Gold. That's a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, baby.
Starting point is 00:00:48 That High Gold is probably my favorite lately. It's the newest addition to their core lineup of whiskeys. Separates itself from all other bourbons with a flavor like no other. It's got butterscotch and citrus underneath there. Pepper in your tongue with a little bit of spice in that whiskey. Once you try it, there's no going back. I do love this. They got the Sour Mash Rye, if you're a rye guy or rye gal.
Starting point is 00:01:05 And the Derringer PX Sherry finished, which is finished in them Sherry casks. Pedro Jimenez Sherry casks, no less. And the Cave Hill is the OG. That's their Four Grain Triple Mott Bourbon. That's their original bourbon release, which I like very much as well. I'm a big proponent

Like that?
Starting point is 00:03:18 Do you know why I did it? Because it was sweating. It was sweating. It was hot in that room and it was dripping. My hands were soaking wet. I picked up on that. So I held it like this, but the internet got a hold of it. So now I have creepy images of me holding. Dude, people DM'ed me like, what the fuck's wrong with you? It's so funny. Dude's an alien, bro.

And for Irish, most of the time, Irish people, we don't age well. You go from like 13 to 84. I'm 40 now. I'm almost 40 and I look 40. I look appropriate for my age, but I used to look 40 when I I'm 40 now. I'm almost 40. And I look 40. I look appropriate for my age.
Starting point is 00:04:06 But I used to look 40 when I was 20. Okay. I never not looked my, I never looked my age until right. I'm at the tipping point. Because that's why I know I'm halfway through my life. 80, I'm out. This is literally my midlife right now. I'm bluffing it, dude.

Starting point is 00:08:15 Cleveland's a tough place to go to, too. They're like, there is a direct flight, but it's $15,000. No. No. So I'll do it just because I want the peace knowing I should get everything relaxed before I get home. Sure. So I can enjoy my time at the house. Normally I wouldn't, but I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:08:32 They were pretty pricey. Well, to Hawaii is very expensive. Yeah. That's because that's another thing they know. Just like funerals, it's like they know most people are going there for weddings. Right. They're one vacation of the year. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:44 They don't know. Right. So they don't care that they're gonna they're jacking it up they don't know about you and your girl going home to visit people you love they don't give a shit about that 10 grand for mass cards at a funeral what are we doing fucking collection plate getting heavy you want to hear trashy my dad passed in uh in september so sorry thank you and we had um you know we had a little thing after the ceremony and we overestimated how many people were going to be there. So we had trays of risotto and steak tips to brought that shit home and put it in the freezer. They wanted to have it for my mom's birthday. And I'm like, you can't be eating fucking dad's death meal. You know, dead man's
Starting point is 00:09:21 meat. I mean, that is full circle, though. One door closes, another one opens. You know what I mean? I was like, throw that shit out there. Come on. But taking funeral home to go is kind of funny, man. Dude. That is something, too. At my grandmother's funeral last year, it's one of those things where you're sad, it's
Starting point is 00:09:37 awful, you're saying hi to everybody, you're emoting, and there's all this, like, you're feeling so many things. Yeah. Seeing people you haven't seen. I haven't seen people I didn't see in 25, 30 years i was a little kid were you in the line did you stand up and be in the line when they came through well i carried my grandmother i was one yeah i was yeah i carried her i did too which sucked sucked i loved it dude i hated it i love being i've been a pallbearer since i was like 12 that's your shit yeah he's a sturdy boy what are you talking about
Starting point is 00:10:02 yeah i was just gonna say yeah they always brought me up from the ranks you just put it on one shoulder he's firing carries it down down the fucking aisle i hated it dude because i don't uh it just it got me so good it hit me so hard it just it just it fucked me up i would have rather been able to cry in my seat but i made an off-color joke about the priest being a stiff and man he's fucking he's livid on the mic yeah on the mic what'd you do 10 minutes before the funeral i did a quick five come on man no because my my uncle read this really nice piece that my mother wrote about the family our family's massive we're irish scum yeah so how big my mom's one of 10 yeah my mom's one of nine it's non-stop do we come out of the woodwork yeah we don't stop so our family's huge and there's so many stories
Starting point is 00:10:46 and you know i don't he just wanted to show some love so my mom wrote this thing with my uncle in the in the church or after this in the church is in the church and and um he's like saying all this really funny shit and it was it was killing like it was so funny because it was such relief for how awful and sad it's so tense that well especially in the Catholic church and you didn't like it no no i loved it. No, I loved it. Somebody like him. Get me up there.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Well, I tightened it. I was giving him a little couple of tags. Tell the host to do a minute in between. Hey, slow him down. Let me get my head straight. And he was ripping, dude. And I went up there and I just got through a little thing,
Starting point is 00:11:20 but I was like, you know, father has zero sense of humor, this guy. And I turn over and he's, I mean, he's livid. He's like shaking his head. Yeah. Dude, God was funny too. God was funny too. You can laugh, Father. You know what I mean? Sure. Yeah. You're shitting on him. Yeah. You're not Rickles.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Well, crack a smile. You're some schmuck who just got up at a funeral. Is this after the homily? Yeah. He already done his time? Yeah, he did his time. Really? Yeah, so fuck him. They usually get one or two in there. He did not, dude. Really? Stiff as a board. Yeah. My grandmother's priest that
Starting point is 00:11:53 she had actually had her whole life moved. And I don't know if he moved because he moved or because he had to get moved. Relocated. They buried him in Cleveland somewhere. You've been reassigned. We got you in a $3,000 flight to Cleveland. But anyway, yeah, it was one of those things where it was so, it just reminded me why the church bugged me as a kid so much because of how it wasn't, I just wanted to have fun
Starting point is 00:12:15 all the time. And it was so strict. The rules were so strict. So painful. And they yelled at you and they'd smack you. Yeah. Could you guys get smacked when you were kids by priests or at school? I'm 46 so yeah, when I was... You got clipped.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I got tuned up. Nuns. Because the nuns kind of ran the elementary school that I went to in upstate Pennsylvania and man this one fucking had it in for me. I think I tripped her or something like that at one point. Well then that makes a lot of sense. I beat her up after class one time. I don't know why she didn't like me.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Man, dude, she hated me. She fucking tuned me up a lot. I remember like actually hitting me in the face one time. Well, because that makes a lot of sense. I beat her up after class one time. I don't know why she didn't like me. Man, dude, she hated me. She fucking tuned me up a lot. I remember like actually hitting me in the face one time. Well, because usually it's back of the head or it's, or they arm pulls. Oh, back of the head. Yeah. Back of the head is pretty normal. You went to Catholic school? In the face when I was a kid kid.
Starting point is 00:12:56 And then we got out. We learned. We were like, this is insane. I was thinking about this the other day. We went to Catholic school, but then at a certain point for one year we went to like um it was catholic but it was like eastern european catholic i don't know what i don't know the difference i couldn't really tell you what what the difference was but the host you know the communion yeah wasn't communion it wasn't the wafer it was a little piece of vodka yeah it was a little piece of bread it was kind of one mushroom
Starting point is 00:13:30 pierogies hey padre where's the apple sauce you're killing me over here what did he give you it was a piece of bread it was a little listen it was a little piece of bread with a tablespoon of wine and that's how they would give it to you and that was the first time where i was like i'm fucking hammered yeah yeah yeah dude i was fucking like proper drunk and we'd go once a week every thursday in the morning and they'd hit you with that and it was new to me and my brother and like after like the first or second time i'm like staggering around for the next couple of periods like dude i'm fucking drunk yeah that's how they got you to the day so they got they figured it out yeah when i went when he when when i went to uh uh when we when we moved
Starting point is 00:14:15 out to the suburbs we started going to uh a presbyterian church okay and they refused to give people wine so they would give you grape juice instead. Huh. Yeah. So all of a sudden, we got a lot of black members. All right. That's an easy job. I'm going to not throw it away. It's terrible.
Starting point is 00:14:30 No, but they would give us grape juice instead because they refused to give alcohol. It was against one of their little rules. And I was like- What were you doing taking it? You were a little kid. You just mean at church, like at service. No, at church, at service. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:41 They would give grape juice instead. They didn't believe in- Yeah, we didn't do that. When we got down, I think that started to kind of go away a little bit in our area. They would only give it to like the fucking homies that were working. Not everybody got it. No, we got it. But the adults, really?
Starting point is 00:14:54 As a kid, you got it too? Yeah, of course. Really? Yeah, 100%. See, isn't that crazy? Yeah, I mean... That's how they got us, man. We're all fucking drunk.
Starting point is 00:15:00 I mean, dude, it's a pedophile. What do you mean, how's it crazy? Isn't that crazy? They're giving sips of wine to people who are fucking the kids. That's how they got us to wander the hallways. Yeah. Slipping around homework. Fucking pants start coming down.
Starting point is 00:15:12 You got your underwear on your head. My lipstick all fucked up. So you're locked up. You have someone you love. Are you a single man or you got somebody? No, I'm married. You're married, right? I got married right before the pandemic.
Starting point is 00:15:20 She's a German broad. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. In this business, you're in trouble. I know. Be careful. She's a German Jew. Oh my gosh. Yeah. In this business, you're in trouble. I know. Be careful. Well, she's a German Jew. Oh my,
Starting point is 00:15:26 even worse somehow. A German Jew, that's great. Holidays must be wild. Yeah, we do like, you know, we do the menorah and stuff.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Because half her family does Christmas and then half does the fire squad. What's the other one? Yeah. The chambers. Yeah, so we just do, do i mean they weren't like really uh proper like religious they just do like one night of hanukkah like you would
Starting point is 00:15:54 do like christmas eve or whatever yeah okay right it's not like it's more just like cultural like hey let's have a dinner with the family over anything else like do you do what is it called uh like do you do uh shabbat and shit like that? No, no, no, no. They never went to like services or anything really. It's more of just like cultural. Just we are Jewish. Yeah, we're Jewish and this is what we do.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I like to, I'll go to Shabbat. I'll fuck with Shabbat. You ever done that? Yeah, my buddy's, my buddy converted. He was Lutheran, converted for a girl and she was old school. At what age? That's wild.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Conversion is strange. That's so not. Because most times the women convert. That shows me you don converted for a girl, and she was old school. At what age? That's wild. Conversion is strange. That's so not. Because most times the women convert. That shows me you don't have a backbone. That's my joke to you. He was out of college. I can't fucking trust you, dude. You're fucking like that?
Starting point is 00:16:33 Get out of here. No, he got into it, man. And he was super Christian growing up. Like, he taught Sunday school and all that kind of stuff. He was Lutheran. Yeah. Whatever that is. Not going to heaven.
Starting point is 00:16:45 He's not sitting next to me. No. Yeah. I'm in the light flats. I'm in the base. And we're up front in the plane. Yeah, that's right. Sitting next to Michael, the archangel.
Starting point is 00:16:54 And then he converted for his wife. And they used to do the Friday night thing all the time, inviting me over. It's actually real relaxing. It's so fun, man. It's chill, man. I love it. A little olive bread.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Well, I'm also so into home-cooked meals, man. I told Mateo and I were taking a car back to the city last night, and I said how I was going to go to, maybe go to Edgewater to go see my buddy and his family, because I love going to see his mom. His mom, like, cooks a meal,
Starting point is 00:17:21 and it's nice to come to the East Coast and get a home-cooked meal. You walk in, the house smells real good. and she cooks whenever we want all day long anything we want i mean it's like i'm gonna try to get my mom to move up here just for that reason dude because it's so nice to go eat whatever they make i don't care what it is i'm gonna eat all of it because it's always gonna be better than going to some spot the best restaurants in the world i've been to some great places. Don't care. Give me someone that I know. Give me some meatballs or something.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Yeah. Sausage and peppers out of a fucking. Get out of town, man. I wanted to do it last night and he said, oh, I should go see my brother or whatever. And we were talking on the car ride. How much. Just. I've had a Michelin.
Starting point is 00:17:57 I've had Michelin restaurants. Internationally rated. I've done that whole thing. I would. I always would prefer my mom's shitty burnt chicken sure i'll take a burnt chicken all day long just because i'm like there's something to making a plate in like a crowded kitchen and you're like oh pass me a roll let me get the whatever and then you get to you get to slot in stuff that doesn't belong together when you're at home you know you're
Starting point is 00:18:17 you're eating stoner food at home you're allowed to layer shit we're like i can't believe i'm eating this with this but it's because meatballs and, dude. Slap a coleslaw on the side. Yeah, just put some bowl of cereal just in case. You never know. I'll do all that shit. Yeah. I do love it. That's kind of part of the reason why when I come out this way, I do want to be here
Starting point is 00:18:35 for a while in New York because it's closer to Chicago. I can go home a lot easier. Sure. Going home to Chicago from here is, you know, it's like an hour and a half or two hours at the most. Yeah, easy flight. Yeah, dude. When I leave LA, it's five hours.
Starting point is 00:18:46 You know, it's four and a half. That's crazy. It's so far. I don't understand how people work the road out of there. You have to leave the day before at 7 a.m. Yeah, yeah. It's stupid. Once I got my horse ready in the carts.
Starting point is 00:18:55 I think you just got to go and go. When you leave LA, you have to go. So your road jumping is a lot. You're like spending. Right. You're like, I'm out. Just knock it all out. You have to a little bit.
Starting point is 00:19:04 You can't just go back, back and back and back. You kind of have to do like Philly and Boston. You know what I mean? And D.C. And then do some of the South. Then go home maybe. And then do, you know, Midwest isn't as bad. But it's tough.
Starting point is 00:19:16 It's crazy to me. You know, me and Bobby are doing a Bad Friends tour in March. Nice. Mid end of March or something like that. And we're doing that. We're spending most time out on the road with a bus, you know? Well, we're either doing buses or sprinters. We can't decide what we need to do right now.
Starting point is 00:19:30 But either way, we know we have to chunk and run. It's got to be big, thick chunks because him and I together, too. But that's the ultimate. It's not like you two. The bus is all right. Well, I don't know. Do you guys have, is there a little tension as you've gone on? We have a very sexual tension.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Well, I know you've knocked that out way early. You got that out of the way. We did that at the open mic phase. We're saving that for season three. That'll get killed off. We have a very open, like, if we're mad at it, it's like, but that's just like the fucked up families we come from. It's like.
Starting point is 00:19:59 We could do a bust though. We'd be all right. Yeah, we'll have it. Like, there's no problem with me being like, dude, just shut the fuck up. And then like four minutes later, we're just like out smoking a cig like it's what that's that's we have it's like a brother i don't give it up that night though you don't give it up you can't hold the garage to me like that what are you nuts to make up sex in the morning of that how long do you hold the grudge for typically oh wow i don't yeah you can do it

A lot of them do that. I heard Kim Jong-un does the same thing. He saves it. Brings his own tournament with him.

That's their move, man. But I do like it because it takes it back to, like, medieval times when you're always watching your back. It's all cloak and dagger shit. I like that, dude. You can go at any minute.

You know what I mean? What's the worst fight you guys ever had? And you don't have to tell me if it was a fight.

I saw Jaws when I was a real little kid, and I used to think that there was sharks in pools. He's also not the sharpest tool in the shed, all right? Yeah, yeah. But you know what?
Starting point is 00:23:05 Have you ever spoken to any of those locals in the areas that you go to? Because they'll tell you that some of those places, they almost never see sharks. Some of them, some of them, some of them. The last time that we went, we went out with a Hawaiian guy who runs tours. He's a spear fisherman. We went out in Kaneohe Bay. I don't know if you know where that is. You make it sound Irish.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Kaneohe Bay. I thought I told you. I was like, where are you, Dublin? It's right off the coast of Limerick. Kaneohe Bay. I don't know if you know what that is. You make it sound Irish. Kaneohe Bay. I thought I told you. I was like, where are you, Dublin? It's right off the coast of Limerick. Kaneohe Bay. Naked nickel beers all day long. Give me some of that park. There's an underwater pub if you get down there deep enough.
Starting point is 00:23:36 You can hold your breath. Ah, the fish and chips as far as the eye can see. No, you went out to Kaneohe Bay. Kaneohe Bay. Yeah, and he kind of laid it out for me. But just, it was light snorkeling, but I was petrified. I got to tell you, I just went to Hawaii a couple months ago, and we went with a guy who, you know, showed us the ropes.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Hottest guy I've ever seen in my life. Just jacked, beautiful. Yeah, good looking out there. Yeah, you can't take your wife or girlfriend. That's insane. They're immediately going to leave you for this guy. And when you're diving, she's diving. That's diving you know what i mean stiller and fucking long that's right knocking boots you know who that was by the way hank azaria yeah isn't that crazy

Yeah, I guess he was. Pretty ripped. Yeah, but I'm with you. I understand. It looked like a different birdcage. It was a transformation for sure. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Either way, he knocked the bottom out of that, huh? Well, just because you're fucking best friends with Hank Azaria, Jesus Christ, I didn't know.

That is betterhelp, better H-E-L-P-p.com slash whiskey ginger i like gingers do you have uh famous friends like that are you you know you this is a shitty one schultzy let's ask you for money when we get out of here i'll tell valzellia now we're a cash app company yeah you better believe you are yeah no okay so so what is believe you are. What is the worst, going back, what is the worst fight you guys had? Of recent note, was over money.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Not in a bad way. This is where it starts, by the way. This is how it all goes down. We're both real dirtbags. This is the first time we're making money. I have a pretty good sense of handling and everything. Yeah. Kippy handles the books.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Oh, there had to be an explanation of like. Yeah. Yeah, of course. You know what I mean? I wouldn't know how to do it. You got to be a free bird, baby. Yeah, I wouldn't know how to do it. You think they're sharks in pools.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Let this guy handle the books. If he was doing the books, there'd be barbecue sauce all over him. He didn't like it. I would just spend it as we go. Yeah, he doesn't understand. It's like it's also it's not in the sense of like we go on the road together. We take out openers. We take our camera guys.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Right. So it's like a business. So it's like money. It costs a lot of money to fly people around the country. And you have like if we're doing a show in L.A., San Francisco and La Jolla, it's like you have to pay for that now if it's in three months. Yes, allegedly. I can't just be like, hey, well, when L.A. gives me the check, I'll make good with you, Delta Airlines. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:27:36 You have to pay for all of that. Get to this fight. I don't remember it. Where he, I was, I had to teach you operating capital. Uh-huh. Where money comes in, but you don't get X percent of every dollar that comes in. Correct. Because it has to go.
Starting point is 00:27:51 We need it to buy plane tickets and Airbnbs. When I get to nut at the end of the month, I do dirtbag math. Yeah. Of what I think it should be. Well, I've seen a Patreon, and I know what the ads are. Why isn't it X? Right. Because we had a $30,000 Amex bill, dude.
Starting point is 00:28:04 This wasn't accusatory. No, no, no, not accusatory. $30,000 Amex bill, dude. This wasn't accusatory, by the way. No, no, no, no, not accusatory. Here's my full trust. Of course. Yeah, yeah, not accusatory. But it was more of, and then I was just, he called a little hot, and then that's all I need, too. You jack up fast.
Starting point is 00:28:17 I have the shorter fuse. Right. He's plotting in the dark. He's getting mad. He calls me, and I go, you mother, like, I lose it. Right. I have the explosive. I'm more of a put a snakes in your bed I lose it. Right. I have the explosive.
Starting point is 00:28:25 I'm more of a put a snakes in your bed kind of guy. Yeah, I have the explosive anger. And he slits your family's throat right in front of your face. He's like, is this your mom? Kaiser Soze. I lick the blood off the knife. Make it real personal. So you guys were clipping at each other about it.
Starting point is 00:28:39 So he came in hot. I was just like, dude. And also I had explained. I can't remember it. I explained it to him a couple of times. Yeah, I got to be explaining things a few times. 15 times. 15 times.
Starting point is 00:28:48 I'm not even joking. To the point where I go, hey, man. He's like, well, the $2,500 and this and that. And I just go, hey, listen. We were arguing. I go, I can't do this. I'm just, we're going to let the accountant handle all this. Like, moving forward, he's just going to make all the payments.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Yeah. And he can explain it. I don't like that. He don't like that. Some outsider, he's definitely going to rip us off. That's how the world works. You've never been out in public before? You're going to get fucked.
Starting point is 00:29:13 By the way, the more money you make, the more you get fucked. That is also the balance of the world that I kind of appreciate. In a little bit of a liberal, cucky way where I'm like you make more money, you deserve to get fucked a little bit more than the guy who makes less than you so get fucked a little bit yeah there's like you know you're better off than there's more hands in the pot yeah but fine let me get like of course i don't like that what's this a communist podcast yeah yeah let's get the hell out of here
Starting point is 00:29:36 it's kind of set up the red the red flag drops in the background rolls all slow motion now you know what me and stop talk pretty heavily about this because we talk about money on the show and what happens over time and blah, blah, blah and all that stuff. And it is true that I do really feel like the more money that you make in our business in any way,
Starting point is 00:29:55 there is a lot more hands in the pot. A lot more people are trying to eat. It's just I'm willing to lose more money if it's people that I want to help out and grow the thing. So it's almost like that's the balance of making a little bit more money. it's people that I want to help out and grow the thing. So it's almost like that's the balance of making a little bit more money. If you save it all, if you fuck everyone off and save it all, you're going to be a miserable, lonely guy with a few more bucks.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Sure. Worthless. We put most of it. I'm ready to burn. We were broke for a decade. I'm like, this is new to me. I'm happy in the darkness. But it's a hard lesson to learn, right?
Starting point is 00:30:25 Of course. Because as you get a little bit more, just a few more bucks even, you're just like, well, fucking I'd like it. You know, I want to keep more of it. Yeah. But then to keep growing,
Starting point is 00:30:32 you do need to feed other people. That's just a part of the science. Sure, of course. It's like we had a higher, you know, I mean, now it's like a team of like producers, editors. We put a lot of the better,
Starting point is 00:30:39 especially in the beginning when we first started touring in 2021. We lost all money. We did a couple of shows with some local people. We're like, fuck it. Let's bring our buddy Tom Cassidy, who's a comedian. We started together. Let's bring Tommy with us out on the road and just put everything back into making the shows the best they possibly can be.
Starting point is 00:31:00 We were eating it for a while. And this might have been around that time. Sure. That we were arguing been around that time. Sure. That we were arguing. Barking at each other. But it was one phone call. Yeah, no, and that happened. I mean, like, we don't have, like, big, week-long fights because it's so explosive.
Starting point is 00:31:16 And then we go, it's like a brother. It sounds corny, but it's like one of us will crack a joke about it within seven minutes. And then it's like, it's over. And you go, all right. And we both have accepted we're nuts. And I'm like, it's And then it's like, that's normal. It's over. And you go, all right. And we, we both have accepted. We're nuts. And I'm like, it's,
Starting point is 00:31:27 it's, and he's like, I don't want to fight anymore. I go, that's stupid to think we're never going to fight again. Right. Like just accept we're going to fight. And then when it happens,
Starting point is 00:31:35 you can just fucking go like, all right, cool. We'll get past it. The next one will happen in six months. And then it is what it is. Cause comedy partnerships are tough. You know,
Starting point is 00:31:41 like me and Bob, you know, it's like, that's it. Me and Bobby, it's tough. It's tough because we and Bob, you know, it's like that's me and Bobby. It's tough. It's tough because we've known each other for a very long time.
Starting point is 00:31:53 We started working together four years ago in that in this world. Sure. And so like your relationship from what it used to be when we just met as friends and comedians shifted so heavily into business partners, comedy partners. There's so many things that go along with that that people don't understand. Your life partners, basically. I see this fucking guy too much. So at any point, there is
Starting point is 00:32:14 those moments where you're like, I don't want this to break us up, but it does get harder as time goes on. You have to find a way to curb the bullshit. Because you start barking at each other and it gets tough. I wouldn't want it any other way. Kip, he's a smart guy. He comes from a background where his family owned businesses, and he worked in them and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:32:32 He knows what he's doing, and I'm a fucking idiot. Construction, HVAC, and plumbing. I mean, it's like, you know. Plus you got a market. Plus I'll whack you. Yeah, yeah, no shit. Yeah, construction, where the bodies are underneath the building. We found a ton of bodies underneath 14.
Starting point is 00:32:46 I still want to keep my no-show jobs. What are you talking about? That's good bennies, you know what I mean? No, you gotta have it. Me and Paulie and Syl hanging out. Alright, let's, as you guys have grown together in this thing, now I put on a couple pounds. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Have you found yourself doing less garbage shit and getting a little bit fancier? Well, I mean, like, this is kind of funny. I want to talk about this. You guys were obviously in Paris, right, for that cool event. Fashion show. Fashion show. No business being there.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Literally not. I've been wearing these pants for four days. I don't know. Dude, while you guys were there, we were like, look, you know, it's all of our boys. And we're like, oh, shit, that's fucking sick. We were in Sayersville, New Jersey, at a storage unit auction, buying a storage unit to go through
Starting point is 00:33:29 and see if we can make money. I was like, these fucking dudes are on a private jet. You got a fashion show, Santino. I get it, dude. I get it. And we dumped $200 into a storage unit in New Jersey. Okay, well, good. First of all, that sounds more fun. Yeah, it was actually a good time.
Starting point is 00:33:43 No, we had a good time. It was just, it was unexpected and weird. And, you know, I can't believe, it just didn't make sense. And the crew was wild. It was fun. It was me, Theo, Mateo, Stavros. Bunch of dirtbags. Yeah, it was great.
Starting point is 00:33:55 It was great. And Schultz, fancy Schultz. That's a really cool opportunity, yeah. It was fun. And also we got to make fun of, the whole thing was, this kid, Kid Super, he just wanted like, he wanted to do a different fashion show because fashion shows are dog shit. They're miserable. They're 20 minutes long, and people sit there quietly,
Starting point is 00:34:09 and they watch people walk in weird clothes, and it's usually shitty music. Sometimes it's cool music, but it's a stupid concept. It's boring. It's like I could just see this on the internet. So he was like, you know, he's a young dude. Young, cool dude. Good Irish kid.
Starting point is 00:34:24 I mean, his old man is from Ireland. Oh, nice. He still is in Ireland. Nice. And a really funny guy. We're in the fashion game? All right. No, it's kind of wild.
Starting point is 00:34:33 His son. Yeah, he was a New York guy. By the way, everybody got high with his dad. Stavros and Matteo got- He was wearing wool sweaters. He let me play a hand drum out there. It was nuts. But he, but this kid kid super was
Starting point is 00:34:46 like i just want to do something unique because these shows are fat they're short anyway dude so he's like can you just do three minutes that's fun just while tyra banks had to change into a new outfit so you know we're just servicing them we're we're servicing her you're an mc yeah it was fucking that's great so much fun we just went out there he was like no nothing's off limits no language no you know how sometimes people like don't make fun of out there he was like no nothing's off limits no language no you know how sometimes people like don't make fun of the thing he was like make fun of the thing yeah my first joke i was like it's great to be here in paris the the epicenter of bulimia yeah they actually let they worked and i was like well you can't be anorexic the food is too good and it like
Starting point is 00:35:20 after those two hit back to back it was good well i wrote it i wrote nothing but jokes for the thing because we were all talking me and stopping everyone when we were in the hotel like should we write jokes for the thing or use old materials weird yeah i was like should we use material we know and so he was like fuck it dude just do shit on what we are yeah yeah and what we're doing that was that was kind of the easiest way to get over it but honestly dude i was really stoked about it because uh it was so unique and it was get over it. But honestly, dude, I was really stoked about it because it was so unique. And it was a challenge. That's great. No, it's fucking sick, dude.
Starting point is 00:35:48 It was for sure a challenge because that's not your audience. You boys were doing a nice dinner together? Yeah, actually, we did the most romantic thing was the breakfast. We went to like this really, a friend of mine texted me about a spot that was like, go to this, locals like this breakfast spot. You'll have to wait in line. And dude, out there, these motherfuckers wait outside in the freezing cold because there is no these restaurants are small half the size of this studio so it's five tables so you're waiting outside for whatever and then luckily
Starting point is 00:36:13 it was me mateo and stavros who are both very easygoing stav doesn't give a shit yeah he was like in a track suit it was you know it was it was 26 degrees couldn't care less hair still wet from the shower that dude doesn't care less. Hair still wet from the shower. That dude doesn't care. So we sat outside. He's the man. Shout out to Stavi. And we sat outside until it was ready.
Starting point is 00:36:31 And when it was ready, it was phenomenal food. And we had that together. That was probably the nicest meal we had. Because the other meals are kind of on the go. We had somewhere to be or someone to do. Who scooped up that check? I think I did. But I mean, everybody paid something.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Everyone chipped in. Stavros is fine. Yeah. Mateo is fine. Yeah, they're doing all right. Yeah, those guys are doing phenomenal. I'm happy to see how many New York guys, you guys included, right? We're new friends, but I got to tell you, when I heard about you guys and then saw your shit and then someone was like, you got to do their shit.
Starting point is 00:36:59 I was like, I will, I will. To see some of you guys and people like on the rise in new york it does warm the old ginger's heart thank you you're very sweet and all every time we text or whatever it's like you always get back oh yeah you're a very sweet genuine guy not always i don't always get back i gotta preserve some of my yeah yeah and you know why i'm not texting you back yeah come over and punch me in the face. Sorry, big guy. No, I do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Because I think that whole thing about I'm too busy is a little bit of a bullshit. It's bullshit. You are very busy. Sometimes I'll get back to you when I can. But also people that don't get back to you, it's a little like. That's saying something without saying something. I think it's a fuck you. I do.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Yeah. At the very least go, hey, I'm swamped right now. Can I hit you back in a little bit? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or hit me in a couple hours, dude. I was on a thing. I had a thing. Fine. But when you text someone and they don't say anything back and then you see them and they,
Starting point is 00:37:53 you know, Colm Terrell had a whole thing with me. He got all mad at me because he texted. He's a fucking, he's, I was just with him. He's a wild card. Well, he got mad at me about the St. Paddy's Day show, which is way far away. And he's like, are you going to be in LA? We were talking about it. He's like, I think Santino, he hasn't committed yet. And I want to be like, dude. He got mad at me about the St. Paddy's Day show, which is way far away, and he's like, are you going to be in L.A.? We were talking about it. He's like, I think Santino, he hasn't committed yet, and I want to be like, dude,
Starting point is 00:38:08 that might as well be five years in Santino's head. That ain't right, exactly! I go, dude, that's like asking me what my grandkids' names are going to be. I don't fucking... He got mad at me about a Super Bowl box pool that I think he sent out in fucking, like... He sent it out pre-season. He's like, anybody want to buy a Super Bowl? I'm like, dude, I'll take one just to get you off my back.
Starting point is 00:38:26 No, it's just that he got mad. And I said, dude, and I saw him at the cellar. When I got here, I said, I knew I was coming to New York. I knew I was going to see you. I was going to text you anyway. Also, March, relax. We'll get there. I know. Well, I'm learning this because like... Hey, don't fucking text me back. You know, when we first started, you started talking
Starting point is 00:38:41 to bigger comics and become friends with them. I'm like, oh my God, we haven't heard back from you know whoever yet and then we're like oh fuck they're icing us this or that they must not like us and then i'm like and then as we get busier and stuff you go oh shit like yeah i can't imagine what you're like your schedule like schultz or schultz he's not he's never not doing something of course that's when i go like oh it's not personal it's like of course some people are in five different states in three days and travel and getting back to me or, you know, somebody
Starting point is 00:39:09 about scheduling a podcast in a month isn't the most important thing. It's super hard. If you got back to me from a private jet, I'd be mad at you. What the fuck are you doing? What do you mean? I got Wi-Fi. Huh? I got Wi-Fi. No, but I'd be mad. You're supposed to be doing private jet stuff. You know what it is? Cohorting with me. You're sitting on Wi-Fi looking at
Starting point is 00:39:25 Twitter and Instagram and nothing. Of course. It's eight hours, eight and a half hours. We talked for the most time, but some of the guys wanted to sleep, but old Santines knew. I said, I'm not sleeping on this plane. I'm going to fight it until I get to New York. Oh, and then crash out. Last night I was exhausted and I was
Starting point is 00:39:41 eating chicken, sad, tired, like barely awake. Just being like, make it till 7 p.m., make it till 8 p.m. Finally, I was exhausted and I was eating chicken, sad, tired, like barely awake. Just being like, make it till 7 p.m., make it till 8 p.m. Finally, I was watching the game and I was nodding in and out of the night game. And finally, like right as the game was ending, I was gone last night. And now I feel great. Well, I feel fine. I beat the thing.
Starting point is 00:40:00 It's always easier coming back, too. Well, you just got to beat the thing. If you can beat, we did it there, too. If you can beat the thing, you're good. Yeah. If you can just trick your body into thinking that you're on the local schedule. My thing is, we go to Germany a couple times a year to see my wife's family. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:17 And it fucks me up on the way there real bad, depending on what time I get in and whatever. And I'll wake up at like 3 in the morning or whatever, and then the rest of the fucking two days is screwed. So you get real fucked up the first night.

I don't know how he took offense to that. I mean, maybe not the time. Imagine running a business with this guy. I give him a compliment.
Starting point is 00:45:07 He's like, well, fuck you. I don't like girls like that. There you go. Not telling the accountant is going to start paying you. Ew. Making less money is good for you. I mean, I wasn't bagging
Starting point is 00:45:15 like the hottest chick in high school or anything like that. It doesn't matter. My point is, you've always been all right. You've never had to struggle. Because you're affable, you're a good looking guy,
Starting point is 00:45:23 and you're funny. Funny guys rarely struggle, yeah. Yeah, you were fine. Okay. You never had trouble. No, never had trouble. There was was never a time but did a girl ever really shatter your heart you ever have a girl shatter your soul yeah yeah give us the most embarrassing one um give me the one that hurt the one that really hurt okay so one sent me into a five-year depression um i was dating this girl who i really really liked it was when i lived up here the first time i moved up here once right after i went to i didn't finish college went to theater school and then moved up here and was supposed to be an actor but i was
Starting point is 00:45:58 just doing blow and working at restaurants so you were being an actor yeah and um met this girl fucking hottest chick ever loved her uh dated for you know like very very heavy for two or three years and then uh and then she dumped me and i just stayed in my apartment for like five years doing blow what was the reason she said she left i mean i was a huge loser what do you mean i wasn't doing anything you just yeah you weren't doing it. I got very comfortable. Your motivation level was low. Ooh, very low. But look at you now. Yeah. I think what did it is we were in the grocery
Starting point is 00:46:32 store one time and I was very immature. Don't. I saw you start laughing. I was in the grocery store one time and there was a woman in front of us and she was buying like a cantaloupe or something like that and I started smacking it around on the conveyor belt. I mean, I mean, and the woman got really mad.
Starting point is 00:46:52 She's like, hey, what are you doing? Don't do that. And I like yelled at her or something like that. What's the problem? She's not going to eat the outside of it. Who cares? It's a bit. The next day I went to her house and she had all my stuff packed in.
Starting point is 00:47:02 She had all my clothes folded in trash bags holy that's how i knew it was serious and one single cantaloupe on the pillow the side of the bed you sleep on and i walked out of there i remember uh her roommate's boyfriend who like we'd be all become friends like the two little couples he was sitting on the couch and i had my fucking trash bag over my shoulder walking out i See you later, man. And he was just like, yikes. He knew there was no chance of you seeing him later. Well, he could have been nicer.
Starting point is 00:47:32 He could have been. You know what was fucked up is that she had got me tickets to Billy Joel Elton John, which was like a few months later, and she still hit me up to go. And I was still in love with her. I was still calling her and all that kind of stuff. That's not okay. Oh, man. I was doing everything I could. that kind of stuff. That's not okay. Oh man, I was doing everything I could. We took a bus there.
Starting point is 00:47:47 She got you tickets? She got us tickets for my birthday. So she got you tickets? Yeah. This is what's gross. She got you tickets. She used it for her own benefit and then when you broke up, I was like, well, I still want to go. You took her? Took her. She did that under the guise of
Starting point is 00:48:03 he'll be cool because he'll be trying to get me back. That's not okay, man. I was trying everything. Yeah, it didn't work, did it? No. No, because she was a bully. That's a mean move.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Yeah. You should have told her to go fuck herself and brought some, you're like, no, I'm taking some other girl. Even if you weren't, you should have just lied. So I'm taking somebody else. Yeah, I wasn't sharp like that. That was a bully. You're not sharp like that now.
Starting point is 00:48:22 It was a bully move. I think that was a bully move on her part. She broke up with you. You gotta let that go. That's like asking for jewelry back. You fucking cheap fuck. It's over. It's like, if you give someone something when you're in a relationship, when it's over, you know. What about an engagement ring?
Starting point is 00:48:37 If you got engaged, would you ask for the engagement ring back? Fuck no. Really? You gave that to somebody. She should probably give it back. It's an identity. She'd probably want to give it back. Look. Because it's a, you know, it's an identity. It's a. She'd probably want to give it back. Just tell you to fuck yourself.
Starting point is 00:48:47 She would be like, get out of here. I don't want this. This is over. But if you gave a ring to a woman, whether it's engagement, marriage, jewelry for whatever. Yeah. When it's over. Yeah, no, I would never answer that. You're out.
Starting point is 00:48:56 It's over. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's nuts. Yeah. Fuck that. I mean, that's. Yeah, but the woman would probably want to. Get rid of an engagement ring.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Yeah, I don't want that. That's probably part of it. No, she did a number on me. But I just, anytime I've gotten dumped, I completely deserved it. That's not true. I think it, yeah, it is. You think every single time? Just in my specific case, he'll back me up.
Starting point is 00:49:16 Yeah, I either got too comfortable. I wasn't there. What the fuck? He just subconsciously knows. Yeah, that does sound right. He's probably not wrong. He probably, he's a lot. He's, you know, you're great and I love you.
Starting point is 00:49:28 But he's, he's a lot. He's a lot. It's a 24-7. It's a lot. Big man. You know what I mean? Yeah, you're my Bobby Lee. Couple of heartbreakers though.

You need both to make it work. By the way, me and O'Connor have had the same conversation that O'Connor and you have had. Oh, of course.

Starting point is 00:56:14 If it's like we're boozing, we're fucking, you know, let's shut the machine down. So after the shows are tough. I usually do two double tequila and sodas. During the show? No, right after the show. Do you drink before the show?
Starting point is 00:56:26 No Do you drink on stage? No I'll have probably one before Like when the show starts I'll have a Bud Light And then I'll probably take one up with me Like a fresh one up with me

I need to get out of my own head because otherwise it's too, I've been, and like, since I haven't been drinking in the city, we're running around doing spots. And it's like, so not fun. And so tight in my head of like, hit the words. What's like the way it's like, I just need to, and it's like, it's bad, but like, I need that beer to like, just lower my shoulders and be like, just go for it. You're a clown telling dick jokes at the end of the day.
Starting point is 00:57:05 Right. Have fun. Go have fun. Don't hold it so fresh. There is a thing of having one like if you have two drinks 15 minutes before you get on stage and it hits you perfectly and your shoulders are dropped and you catch the wave. But it's tough to recreate. And also like we were me.
Starting point is 00:57:21 Yeah. No, no, no. Chase that. If you're like looking for that every show, that's bad. Yeah.

He's like a famous Latin artist.
Starting point is 00:58:48 He is globally one of the most famous guys in the world. Definitely not somebody we would probably know. You would probably know that well. But this guy's crazy famous, but he's from Colombia. And so he says to the guy that's running the show, can some of the comics maybe write something? His team, can they write something for him maybe? You know, so we're all kicking around jokes. And of course, the first thing-
Starting point is 00:59:09 It lands on Coke. Well, yeah, what the fuck? And his team is like, we can't do one of those. I'm like, what? Yeah. What do you mean? What do you think people think of Columbia? That's what I was gonna ask.
Starting point is 00:59:17 Yeah, I was like, what's the perception? What do you think the outward view is here? Yeah. Come for our papayas. Like, what the fuck? No, people- You ever have the cartel cut your uncle's arm off i mean there were so many coke jokes that everybody made i mean literally they went
Starting point is 00:59:31 door to door and every comic in the dressing room they were like a coke joke and everyone was like well you can't keep giving us coke jokes like yes we can yeah you said make a funny joke but he went out there and did like one quick small thing because he wanted to you know stay got in and out and uh it was just wild to look out in the crowd uh also because kodak black and roddy rich performed at the after party kodak black was there with his baby at the art show yeah he's not dude he's the man he's so literally after like after my performance i'm staring down i see kodak blacks in the front he goes like this thumbs up i was. I was like, fuck yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:05 I think I'm just having fun, dude. Dude, that's awesome. He's just always having fun. Dude, he was having such a good time. And it was such a surreal, surreal moment for my comedy, you know, comedy history resume that like I'll know in years down the road, you know, and you guys will keep getting these things over time where you're like, that was fucking insane. It'll never happen again.
Starting point is 01:00:24 It didn't make any sense that it lined up. I thought it was a joke when they first called about it. Mateo was in the cellar with me on Thursday night and he was like, I think I got invited to that thing that you're doing. I was like, you should do it. He was like, should I? And I was like, yeah. He's like, I don't know. It sounds kind of like, it sounded like too many holes were there. You know, when you get an offer for something or somebody that you're like, is this bullshit or is this going to actually work out? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the thing that you guys have done that you were surprised that you got to do?
Starting point is 01:00:50 Have you done corporates or no? Sitting here with you, baby. What are you talking about? Have you guys done corporate gigs yet or no? No. No. No. Nothing crazy.
Starting point is 01:00:58 I mean, nothing crazy. It's just really just like road shit and the festivals and stuff we've been doing the past. You're going to start getting stuff like that though. Two years. Corporates for sure. Some fucking trash company from Philly is going to want you guys. What's the, what's the biggest company out of Philly? What, is there like a big, uh.
Starting point is 01:01:13 Comcast. Comcast? Yeah. You're not doing them. No chance. They'll censor the fuck out of you guys. I could do a benefit for, uh, for a mayoral, mayoral candidate in, uh, in Jersey. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:01:23 A mayoral candidate. This wasn't, this wasn't off to AYG's success. He had met somebody who we literally, he gave us like cash in a bag to perform in a warehouse under 95. See, this is what I'm talking about. This is good. And we did it two years in a row
Starting point is 01:01:38 and died a miserable, miserable death. Oh, yeah, yeah. You will bomb. Miserable death. You will bomb. Miserable death. I don't care who it is, who it's for. But the buffet was unbelievable. That's what you go for. And they had the Twin Towers.
Starting point is 01:01:48 Twin Towers. You looked out. This was three years ago. I don't understand. What do you mean? It was a marble showroom where you would go like, I want granite countertops. Sure. So you'd go to this showroom and they were having a fundraiser for some political guy
Starting point is 01:02:04 in Newark or Jersey City. I forget where it was. In North Jersey somewhere. Sure. So you'd go to this showroom and they were having a fundraiser for some political guy in Newark or Jersey City. I forget where it was. In North Jersey somewhere. Right. You know, I'm not talking to fucking band leaders over here. I was just going to say, say no more. By the way. That's it. And they had the Twin Towers. Cash gig, by the way. I don't know if you picked up on that. I didn't want to harp on it, but you green
Starting point is 01:02:19 bats, baby. It was alright. You think the government is going to want to talk about this? But it was and it was one of those things where like, oh, we're going to start the comedy show. And it was like, people had to turn and face the stage that wasn't, you were next to the receptionist desk and the phone was going off during my set. It was a bad, bad scene. I did one for Jim Beam. Me, it was such a weird collection, but it was, I've told this story before, but it was me, Joel McHale, Alonzo Bowden, Gary Veeder, who I love. Big shout out to the Veeds.
Starting point is 01:02:52 And I don't remember who else. But it was Jim Beam. So me, I'm like, cake walk. These are guys from Kentucky. This is fucking Midwest trash. Easy money, baby. I get there. Santori Whiskey has bought Jim Beam. Santori is a Midwest trash. Easy money, baby. I get there. Santori Whiskey has bought Jim Beam.
Starting point is 01:03:07 Santori is a Japanese company. It is a thousand Japanese businessmen in fucking suits eating steak. Do you think they want to see my bullshit? No, you're the last thing they want to see, dude. Eating shit would be a compliment to what I did. I mean, I was like funneling diarrhea. It was unbearable so bad how long 12 minutes and each minute each minute i think my heart was like we should quit we could quit at any moment my heart was like you want to stop we could just
Starting point is 01:03:35 we could kill you right now on stage i had the worst time i've ever had and then afterwards me and vede's uh i had to go fill up on sauce. I had to say goodbye. I had to check out for the night because my brain, I was so depressed. I couldn't believe it was so bad. I was in Vegas. We were going to, me and Veeds were like, let's go have a great steak dinner. Did you picture you guys have suits all in rolling dice? No.
Starting point is 01:03:55 You're drinking in a Motel 6. It's me just shoving it back off the strip. We're going to get up three grand by midnight. Let's go. It's the greatest night of our lives. Talking to a girl named Destiny for three hours, just crying. She's like, do you want to have sex? I'm like, no, bitch.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Trying to make up for what happened in there. You gentlemen need to leave now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you've had your fill. But the corporate gigs are going to, you'll get more, and they'll get harder to do because you want to keep your brand and do your thing. The check would have to, obviously those pay really really well the check would have to be really good because
Starting point is 01:04:27 it's just like i don't want to go yeah i've done things for the money not even that much money you know what i mean where i'm like i need this thousand dollars i'm gonna and it and you go i know i'm gonna and you just bomb and it sucks and the ride home sucks yeah and the hotel room stuff like you're just like all of this sucks oh i'm trying to i'm trying to be like if i don't have to do it don't don't fucking suck my dick. I'm not doing it. That's a smart move. I don't want to fly to Minneapolis to perform for Russian oligarchs
Starting point is 01:04:52 or something. I will. No shit, I'm in. Forget about this, Bonzo. New comedy duo? Santori, give me a call. Have you guys thought about going individual or just always on tour together like solo tours or no no not yet not yet i mean everybody was like this is what's selling the tickets you know and so that will be a thing right because you guys are both
Starting point is 01:05:16 independent yeah we're yeah well our shows are we both co-headlined and then we just close out together but so but solo touring is not in the cards at all. Not at the moment. I mean, why split the audience up to be like, I get it. I get it. The money would go down all around. And we had no cachet
Starting point is 01:05:30 before the podcast. You know what I mean? You and Bobby were very well known when you started, you know what I mean? Yeah, but still, I guess the reason I'm asking
Starting point is 01:05:39 is to try to pry a little bit about when you guys, there will be a time when both of you do want to do individual stuff. So it's to to think you guys are killing it together you're both very talented on your own right solo thank you so thank you buddy that is you know it's one of those things where it's one of those i'm sorry to cut you off you know it's tough it is uh it is something that will at some point be a thing but of course i mean i was you know but at the same
Starting point is 01:06:03 time like we have all like a lot of our friends go out by themselves and stuff like that and it's like they're like yeah i'm sitting in a fucking i gotta do seven shows at some fucking funny bone yeah for not that much money yeah and you know maybe i brought out a feature maybe i didn't we have a fucking local bozo host or whatever and it's like dude we fucking we fly out with like five of our homies and you're like we were we're experiencing like the best version homies, and we're experiencing the best version. Got the Airbnb. We're making scrambies and eggs in the morning. Who's making scrambies and eggs?
Starting point is 01:06:29 Kippy makes scrambies and eggs. I know he is. I know he is. You're sitting and waiting. You're doing this. He's hulking. He's flying like a vulture. Kippy's had to work a toaster oven.
Starting point is 01:06:37 He's flying around the room. He grabs a piece of toast and flies away. Grab your small dog and leave. It would have to really make sense. Unless like, you know, we end up, you know, almost killing each other and it breaks up or whatever. Never going to happen. Never going to happen. The Beatles didn't last, dude.
Starting point is 01:06:52 You know what I mean? Some garbage podcast might not last. You know why the Beatles didn't last? Because they did everything in a course of three fucking years. Yeah, of course. And they were children. They were both grown men. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:03 No, yeah, of course. That's the greatest thing about those kind of things is like, if they still were together later in life, they would be dog shit. I wholeheartedly believe it. Their moment in time was their moment in time. Just like you guys, the cultivation of your careers to combine for this moment. I believe things are happening when they're supposed to happen. It's kind of like when somebody's like, you know, back when we were younger, it was like, oh man, to get on The Tonight Show or to get on Rogan or to get on any of these things that would set comics. And people would be like, why hasn't so-and-so asked me? And it's everything will kind of truly happen, at least in our business, when it's pretty much supposed to happen.
Starting point is 01:07:37 Whether you like it or not, it sucks. Yeah, dude, because I know this is our third podcast together. Right. And like Ari's like, only you two fucking idiots would do a third podcast after the first two failed. Like you wouldn't be like, how about we, you know,
Starting point is 01:07:51 try it with someone else. And it's like, we've been podcasting together for 10 years at this point. Just get like our rhythm is, you know, we know each other's rhythm. We know what makes each other's laugh and everything. So it's like,
Starting point is 01:08:00 we did all that in obscurity. And now that like we were gaining a platform people like these guys are great it's like yeah well we've been slugging it out for a decade while 100 people the 10 000 hours nobody sees behind the scenes of course no one sees you shooting in the gym yeah nobody sees that no one sees any of the training they see what you are now and they judge you based on now whether it's good or bad reception that's part of it you accept it when somebody's like oh the fuck is this guy you're like oh really you haven't known the fucking decade i spent yeah grueling in the thing which is fine sure but that's a part of
Starting point is 01:08:28 criticism that you have to throw in the trash that you're like fuck you man we've been at it you don't know shit of course you either be come with us on the fun ride or go fuck yourself yeah which is how i've always felt about how you have to continue to feel your career because it's never gonna stop that those things are never gonna stop of like this guy's new. You're like new to you, dickhead. Yeah. New to you. It's been 17 years. Right. Yeah. That will always continue. But you guys, you know, look, we have that kinship, too. Like I said, because we didn't have any cachet before the pod took off. That's what we're known for. Are you garbage? Which we fucking we love it. It's it's our it's us, Our identity stripped down to its purest form.
Starting point is 01:09:06 You know what I mean? I think that's why it resonated with people. But yeah, we were fucking grinding it out together in the trenches in New York for fucking for years, seven years or whatever. And we're very, very poor together. But that's the thing, too. It's like on park benches and fucking kitchen floors and all that kind of stuff. It's like if I were to get a gig now if someone was like hey kevin wait you know here's
Starting point is 01:09:28 five grand to come out to fucking whatever to do whatever my first call is at him like yo you want to fucking open do you know what i mean like and so it's like we just we want to be on the road together right you know what i mean like who's your first call to 60 40 split yeah i was just gonna say he gets a phone call he's like like, no, no, I'll come alone. I'll post middle and feature. Just let somebody bring me up on the God Mike. Do you really sleep on a park bench outside? Yeah, I worked.
Starting point is 01:09:54 You did or no? No. Yeah, you did. Yes. When we were. And it wasn't. I mean, because you were out drinking all night. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:02 It wasn't because like. Park couch or park bench? Park bench. Like an old school shit. Not like a big, beautiful bench. Like a little shitty. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Over in the West Village.
Starting point is 01:10:12 I was waiting tables at a place that I had to be to work at 7, 730 in the morning to open up for breakfast. And, you know, when you're up here the first couple of years, you got to do your open mics, try to get on some bar shows, run around, do this and that. But then you got to hang out. Everybody would meet in the West Village and everybody would hang out and try to be seen and do all that fucking bullshit. So we do that until 2, 3 in the morning. And then I have to be to work in the West Village at 7.
Starting point is 01:10:38 It's like going down to the West 4th Street station and waiting for the fucking. It's going to take an hour at least to get home. Yeah, waiting for the F train. By the time I get home, I'll have to turn around and come back. So you just fucking... Sleep on a bench. Yeah, tuck your wallet in your butt cheeks and stick your phone in your pants and get a couple hours sleep. You couldn't put it all in your butt cheeks?
Starting point is 01:10:56 Put the phone in there too. That was, you know, I don't know if you... That was occupied. I heard this story about Axl Rose about that song Welcome to the Jungle, came from him sleeping on a park bench, I think here, when he first got to New York. Really? He didn't have anywhere to stay and he slept on a park bench. And I guess a homeless guy or, you know, fucking some guy roaming around was trying to rob him while he was asleep.
Starting point is 01:11:21 And he woke him up and, you know, was trying to fight him off and was like the fuck are you doing and the guy was like welcome to the jungle bitch that's where it came damn that's pretty good yeah and that's that's what i've heard rumor of that's where that that's where that started he was probably 19 when it happened i was 40 when i was yeah so someone's like welcome to the oh my god don't take my heart pills yeah drunk on frozen margaritas yeah shout out to him no but that's that that is the the sacrifice you made you make i guess is uh it builds who you are but you guys are never gonna let go of the garbage stuff don't ever let go i was just saying you know like it's it's no i mean also as people don't let go of your trash dude it's so in our fucking dna it's like like if you go to a fancy
Starting point is 01:12:01 party what do you what are you having to drink at a fancy part if they're like champagne i've had no i've had to learn like if we go to like a nice, what are you having to drink at a fancy party? If they're like champagne? No, I've had to learn like if we go to like a nice restaurant. Champagne when the Coke's gone. Yeah. What are you, nuts? Something to put you to sleep. Get into the NyQuil. Have a drink to rattle off where it looks like, you know, you can't order like a Jack and Coke or whatever.
Starting point is 01:12:19 Yeah, you can. See, don't ever give that up. You should. You got to call it a Cuba Libre. Ooh, Cuba Libre, please. So I'll do a Manhattan. He does a martini. You're a teeny guy.
Starting point is 01:12:31 I'm a dirty martini guy. Gin or vodka? Vodka. I'm not crazy about the glasses, but I prefer it in a rocks glass with no ice. I just like the saltiness of the olive juice. I feel like you want it in a sippy cup so you can move around a little bit. Yeah, a little sippy sip. A little sippy cup there. Put it in two of those things on top of the helmet. Yeah, that's what it is.
Starting point is 01:12:47 The beer helmet. Plus, I mean, I know it's traditionally like a fancy drink, but they fuck you up, man. Martinis? Yeah, it's all booze. The whole thing is you just say, just give me a cup of vodka. That's what it is. Dude, get two or three of them before the appetizers hit.
Starting point is 01:13:03 That's what my dad always says, that martinis, he likes martinis. He drinks, he'll drink gin martinis, though. He likes gin. That's wild. He'll do both, but he does like gin a lot. He loves gin. Gin's wild. I can't fuck with that.
Starting point is 01:13:13 But he says. It gives me the worst hangovers. He says it's just like, it's like two is perfect, three is too many. Oh, yeah. My family says the same thing about Manhattans. They call it loudmouth soup. It is loudmouth soup. After three or four, you really fucking find out what someone thinks about you.
Starting point is 01:13:26 Yeah. Manhattans was what my grandparents used to drink. I never loved Manhattans because I don't like vermouth that much. I don't like any of that dry vermouth. It's sweet vermouth. Gotcha. Not a fan. I don't like it.
Starting point is 01:13:35 Yeah, I don't do, I usually do the martinis. Well, it's got olive juice in it, but the vermouth I can live without. You go out to a nice restaurant and you sit down, what's your drink? I always have whiskey. I've always been a whiskey guy. Just straight? My whole life. On the rocks or or straight one big stone or sometimes i like it before dinner yeah sure yeah absolutely wine a beer or something like that with dinner
Starting point is 01:13:51 i don't drink i really don't drink beer anymore i i used to drink a whiskey with your meal yeah damn yeah of course it's like deadwood it's hardcore you know what i mean doing it for a while yeah no you know i it's also because i'm accustomed to it at this point in my life like beer i'll have a i'll have a beer or two with a friend at a thing if that's the thing that's if that's the vibe i really don't love beer makes me feel like shit my stomach hurts and i get bad shits the next day wine wine i will have when others are having wine but i will never order wine oh yeah on my own accord even at dinner you want if somebody else but gets a bottle of wine i'll have a glass as a politeness thing. Yeah, but we're doing this.
Starting point is 01:14:27 But I probably won't finish it. Do you know what I mean? I'll have a couple of sips because it's a part of the culture, but no, I'd rather have a whiskey, please. So if you're having a steak, you're at a nice steak dinner? You better fucking... Okay, we just went to Mastro's for a buddy's birthday. Okay.
Starting point is 01:14:38 And yes, I wanted a little bit of something something on the rock, so I had myself a nice fat glass on the rock. And you're having that while you're eating dinner. So you're doing bite and sip with whiskey? No, man, I'm not a savage. You eat your food and then you drink your drink. Really? Yeah, we're bite and sip guys.
Starting point is 01:14:55 Yeah, you can't. Another trash thing that you do. Yeah, I mean, it's... No, you have to have something as you're having appetizers, right? Like if I'm having, this is like a shrimp cocktail, whatever. Yes, have a couple of sips. Once the steak comes, I'm focused on steak. Then when that's over, I have this for dessert.
Starting point is 01:15:11 Because I don't really need dessert that much. Drinks are- Bottled water? Huh? Bottled water? Still and a sparkling. Give me one of each. We do the same thing.
Starting point is 01:15:18 Yeah, you want one of each. I'm a still guy. You're a bubbles guy, I can tell. Ooh, I love the bubbles. It feels like it makes you happy. Yeah, no, whiskey. Feels like I'm having a you happy yeah no whiskey whiskey forever i love whiskey forever i i have tough time drinking other stuff now tequila is the closest i can do to outside of good tequila good tequila i love your guy dude yeah you shot in a beer shot in a beer give me a fucking bud heavy right and some fucking jmo or even well we'll just whatever it is let's get it fucking going. Your shirt just turns into
Starting point is 01:15:46 a wife beater. You're like, whoa, how did that happen? I was a big margarita guy, but done the sugar and all that stuff. Started doing tequila and sodas with a lot of lime. That stuff that Burt gets is really good in the bottle. What is it? It's like some kind of lime juice that he gets. Like lime concentrators. It's probably sponsored by a
Starting point is 01:16:01 lime company. Something, yeah. And that in with a little club soda and some tequila is all right. By the way, I just had an image of him with his shirt off. They painted his chest body like a lime. Sell it, sell it, sell it, sell it. Tequila for sure has been my supplement for whiskey because
Starting point is 01:16:18 high-end tequila does have... It's clean. It's got a similar... The smoothness is similar to bourbon to me. I like the way high-end tequila tastes. And if you get some good shit, it's good sipping. Good sipping. But no more beer for your boy. I'll have it once in a great while.
Starting point is 01:16:32 O'Connor, he likes his soda pops. He likes beer. Yeah, yeah. I can tell because he fluctuates like a model overseas. He'll get really, really thin and in shape, and then he'll get a fucking portly of shit. He's got a tight body, though, man. He's a little stoned. He's a little rock.
Starting point is 01:16:44 He's a little rock shithouse, yeah. Yeah, but it's also because all that stress and pressure he'll get a fucking portly shit. He's got a tight body though, man. He's a little stone. He's a little rock. He's a little rock shithouse, yeah. Yeah, but it's also because all that stress and pressure he puts on himself. He's making his, he's turning his fucking, turning everything into thick, thick concrete like your family. Boys, talk about where you're going on tour next. What's the deal?
