I got the prescription drug thing. Yeah, that was the Micro Machines guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rosie, one of my oldest friends in comedy Someone who moved to New York to start a wonderful beautiful great life And a successful career and it's literally all worked out. Yeah, that really has for now the business got better for you You had a fucking baby Your baby now your baby now vapes you told me before the show which is kind of nice. Yeah she's a she's a full-time vapor. What's her favorite flavor? Do you think I?

Would say she likes you know the ones for kids Yeah, she's into like you know strawberry banana Children's motrin that's a flavor she's into Banana, children's Motrin, that's a flavor she's into. You know? That is good. Yeah, infants Tylenol. We do have to get you off of it. Yeah, I know, it's really bad.

You know what it is, is I had the baby and I immediately was like, I need something that is just mine, and I need like a vice. You know, like I don't drink. So it's not like I quit drinking and then like got to go back to drinking. Right.

All I had was my vape. And you never smoked though? No, I smoked. You mean cigarettes? No, like weed. Yeah, I smoked weed. You did? I did everything.

But not anymore. Yeah, I had to get sober. I thought it was just boozy. No, no, no, it was whatever. Cause those pictures I have on my phone. It was sort of whatever was around. Yeah, whoever had anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But the cigarettes though no cigarettes Yeah, still I still don't smoke you don't sneak them or anything. No. I literally I don't I'm not into them anymore I'm into like I like the vape even though it's a fucking like a loser thing to do. I really like it It's not loser. I just think it For me it is the loser thing to do as a mother For sure you think it well when you're with the kid when you're not with the kid it doesn't matter Yeah, I don't do it when I'm with her. Well, then it's fine. I just do the Nicotine gum like constantly though. Yeah. Well, I'm not one to talk. I mean I do the pouches and all this

I mean look I like it too you then I'll take anything. Yeah, I'll take what we have I'm like you with with drugs Yeah, I just will take whatever is available what we can buy whatever city I go to if that's whatever they have Yeah, it's it's it's not great. I'm like you with with drugs. Yeah, I just will take whatever is available what we can buy whatever city I go to if that's whatever they have. Yeah, it's it's it's not great. I'm not gonna lie. It's not It's like I'm suffering in a pretty stupid. It's pretty dumb. It's dumb and also like yeah feel dumb Doing it, but I like it a lot and I enjoy I really really love it in the morning I think it's fine. If you have a thing that you enjoy and it's not like Ruining your life. Yeah, I think it's fine if you have a thing that you enjoy and it's not like Ruining your life. Yeah, I think it's okay. Yeah. No, it's fine for now. My point is we don't know That's you know, if it's heroin or fentanyl or something, you know, I that's harder to dabble in

I don't know you could be a fentanyl you could be somebody who like touches fent every once in a while you think so I think it's changing. I think times are changing. Have you had fentanyl? No, yeah, it's not it's fucking it's changing. I think I'm changing. Have you had fentanyl? No, yeah, you it's not it's fucking it's rad. Yeah It'll change your life it'll change I think about it literally as often as I think about my daughter And I've had it once and it was that good Fucking unreal. Did you not off? I mean I was yeah because it was it was IVF. I got it during the IVF thing and I remember going in and being like listen I'm an addict and I'm an alcoholic so like even if I ask for fentanyl just don't give it

to me and then right before the procedure I was like you know what I I think I should get the fentanyl. I'm a little nervous. We should get the fentanyl and they were like okay. It was like the second Andy was out of the room I asked for fentanyl and woke up and was like, can I get some more? Yeah, I'm getting another IVF. It was Just did it like we're gonna go back to back. I feel like back to back is how they work the best Yeah, that's probably safest. Yeah, so I I really so you have a fent baby Hmm. No, I ended up because we did IVF and then I fucking... Right, that's right. I think the drugs were still kind of coursing through my system.

The perils of trying to be... All you want is to become a parent and all you saw is people who didn't deserve to be parents having babies. Oh my god, yeah. Isn't that amazing? Just fucking disgusting people just sitting on a park bench and standing up pregnant yeah you're like what the fuck that that person yeah well God it would drive me crazy I would drive me crazy we talked about it it's one of those things where

you see it and you go well there's not a God and that's okay it just it's kind of like fine I guess I mean if there is he's an asshole fucker. You know yeah He's got a fucked up sense of humor. I'll give him that yeah like we just did I just did a call for The will of living will with my wife like when you die who gets your money. We did this fucking game And it's so gross. It's so gross. I should do that like right before you go to bed at night. We did yeah We do it in the morning. We do it every day actually. That's how we start the day.

We just... The woman on the phone, the lawyer is like... It just sounds so dismal and it's gross and it's like, and if they die then what? And you're like, well dude, I hope they don't. When? Okay. I don't know. And then my cousin, and then it's like, and if he dies tragically, you're like, Jesus dude. Give it away. Throw it. Burn it, burn it, light it on fire. It's like the world's worst game of Jeopardy. Yeah. Just...

Show me destruction. Yeah. No, but they, we... So then, but one of the points was I wanted whatever money didn't go to like my mom or my sister or my dad or whatever to go to Children's Hospital. And the lawyer was like, oh, that's really cool. I was like, yeah, I think that's where it should go because I'm doing that. I sent you a text in my mind No, but I was like because kids getting sick is not real. Yeah, it's like that's the fucking grossest shit

Yeah, going back to what we just said. I was like if that's fucking that's really sweet though I think you you know, it's you're you're an asshole But I think deep down you're you're a real sweetie pie some of it is I just think kids with cancer is fucking bullshit I think adults with cancer don't care. Yeah, you're fucking who cares I mean you got a shot if you don't have cancer you're kind of an asshole Yeah, you're an asshole. You know get cancer nerd everybody's got it fucking nerd or they're on their way, right, right? It's happening It's sort of the natural progression of life at this point, right? Don't you know what a cancer that's why we do what we do with substances because I don't want to get in cancer's way of

Grow of growing it can't you know, I don't want to stand in the way of any cancer I want I want cancer to live to its fullest highest potential cancer begins at inception of Ingestion. Sorry cancer begins at ingestion cancer at ingestion, and I'm gonna keep it that way I want to grow inside of me. Yeah, but so I said to the woman She said something very she was like oh unfortunately like we've had to spend some time there And so it's a great place And I you know my heart broke for but I think a lot of that stem from the fact that we didn't have kids we Couldn't have kids so I was like well dude people that do have kids and they get sick

have kids, we couldn't have kids, so I was like, well dude, people that do have kids and they get sick, fucking give them all my money. Give them all of my money, all the money. But again, I do want to make clear, if you're an adult and you get cancer, fuck you. For sure. Yeah, fuck you. For sure. And if you don't get it, also fuck you. Loser, fuck you.

Yeah, so we decided to give it all to Children's Hospital. Yeah, that's good. Why the fuck not? That's actually, I might just copy that and what are you gonna do with the idea? Also that you're supposed to like have some sort of control over whatever you left over when you're dead It's like who the fuck cares. I know I feel kind of like It's just sort of I would love in some really dark lizard part of my brain To just kind of watch from the heavens as my family fights over my money.

Oh, that's sexy. That's kind of a fun, you know what I mean? Yeah, but your daughter's gonna get it. I mean, why not play God if you're up there? Right, right. But your daughter's gonna get all your money. Yeah. And then in the event that she marries

some fucking loser that you hate, you can control that too. I love that. Yeah yeah I love that for myself I really do you know she's like I have a feeling she's gonna out earn whoever she ends up with just sort of like the way that the society is going yeah yeah I feel like it's kind of gonna end up being that women are the breadwinners yep just cross fucking friend you guys deserve a couple years on the couch. You know what I mean?

Thank you. You've done a lot. Honestly, thank you. Well, look, I mean, you know, or... Or... Or we won't vote anymore. Right. That's what I was kind of hoping for.

That's sort of the other option. Or we go back to the way it was when it was fucking legit. When you guys couldn't say shit, dude. I was like seeing this shit that like, right Biden left He put like a women's suffrage Monument in Washington. Oh really? Yeah, and I was like or like signed off on it. Sure, and I was thinking to myself I was like that's that's gonna be fun to go look at when we're like, that's We didn't have a lot but we could vote It's gonna be nice

Remember those days. What is it a picture? It's just a statue of a woman voting. I actually don't know. Look it up, look up the suffrage. By the way, you know what it is. He may have just signed off on plans. I was just gonna say, he signed something to exist that will never happen.

Exactly. It just made him look good for the moment. Someone's like, what do you think about this? He's like, is it ever gonna get built? They're like, no, he's like, nah, fuck it. Fine, you know what I mean? It's funny, it's like Biden did do a lot of shit, but it was so unsexy You know so then at the end he tried to get a little like show pony ish

It just doesn't work for him. Can't do that, dude. Yeah, don't try to be you can't try to be the other side of it It's just he said that he regretted that he didn't sign Those checks like with his name, like Trump did. Really? Yeah. I mean. He's like, I should've signed the check, which is so fucking sad. I just made me sad, man.

It's really sad, yeah, it's really sad. But what else does he have left? You know what I mean? He does feel, he knows it's over. Yeah. Both life and your political term. It's like you're done, so yeah, dude, that's dark. Yeah.

What does he do now? He's the only person, I think, in America who's free. He's, yeah, that's dark. Yeah. What does he do now? He's the only person, I think, in America who's free. He's a, yeah, it's him. He just gets to walk into the woods. And die. Like an animal when they go to die? Yeah. Just by himself quietly?

Yeah. I mean, I'm truly envious, in a way. Yeah, he's going to get to do it. He's going to get to do it. He's going to be, like, walking off the end of the baseball field and feel the dreams into the corn To watch by to just disappear into the corn is so fucking funny really what it felt like yeah kind of you know I was like it's kind of funny cuz it feels like

America just like broke up with a nice guy Yeah, it feels like they want to fuck the rad dude. Yeah nice guy. They want to fuck the guy who's got a bike. Yes. You want to get on, dude? Yeah, I was reading a fucking headline. I took a picture of it on the way here. This is fucking... The way that the New York Times is writing about Trump is they're fucking horned up. They're horned up. They got material coming.

They wrote, Trump asserts a muscular vision of presidential power. I'm like, a muscular vision? Just a rock hard veiny vision of presidential power? It's crazy to me. I was like, they're fucking stoked. Hill stroke to that. Oh yeah. The hill stroke to that for sure. Yeah.

Wow, that does sound celebratory. Yeah. That's really unlike them I don't think so. I think there I mean, it's not like they ever wrote about Biden in a way that was like Yeah, he's really muscular. Yeah, they never know. Yeah I know that the whole like thing is oh Trump Fucking hates the media and the media hates Trump. But if you watch them, they're really fucking creaming themselves. Yeah, well, because they're getting something now.

Yeah. This is... They were sober for like four years. They had to dry out. Now they're like, we gotta go back. They're just fucking shooting meth. They're like, I gotta get fucked up again, dude. He is so polarizing that for the next four years,

they're gonna get so much fucking more material. And I do know that they know this is all money, baby. They're getting fucking papered up. The more shit that they can print, the more bullshit they can run with and make new stories out of, that's money. No, they're fucking stoked. And I get it.

I mean, I kinda like, even in that first week, I was kinda like, this is fucking, this is kind of exciting again. It's like when Trump left. It was like watching the shitty It's like the writers quit or something And now it's like oh, we're back Like it's a fucking story now It is gonna be a big deal even the things that are not a story are gonna be a story of cool Well that I would argue. It's more that than the other it would be

or not a story are gonna be a story. Well, I would argue it's more that than the other. It would be everything that isn't really that real or big will be inflated because you can now, and everyone will get excited about it. Yeah. I mean, do you think they are? I sort of get like, I think people are either stoked, maybe like this week they're excited, but I don't know. Overall, I kind of feel like maybe people are bored with the whole thing I think the country I think even the people that

voted for Trump don't care I don't think anybody cares anymore yeah I think everyone just bummed the fuck out that the world is like confusing and sad and upside down and everyone's like right I don't know man fuck it like I think there's a false it's definitely one or the other I think there's a fake narrative online that like people are very excited at and I don't think's true. I don't I think America's just

trying to figure itself out. They're like what's going on? What are we uh yeah what are we doing? How are we doing? What are we doing? Yeah the first time the first time was more like whoa yeah and now everyone's just like whatever man I don't fucking yeah it is what it is. I mean we traveled the whole time and we saw it was funny going from Ann Arbor no Grand Rapids to Detroit And it was it was wild to watch of like this neighborhoods like all Trump fleck then this one was all Comma and then and then back to Trump. It was so weird to watch you physically were like oh It's it's it's it's so all over the place. I think

Like anything you win the championship and they say you celebrate for five minutes. Yeah. And then when it's over, you're like, oh, whatever. I guess that's it. Do you guys talk, you don't talk at all about, I'm wondering, cause I honestly, I shot the special and went back to work and I haven't been on the road since.

Yeah. So I don't have any sense of like, what the vibe is out there. I don't have, I don't do a lot of political bullshit. I mean, I take a couple of fun jabs just for fun. Yeah, you'll make like commentary about it. But for me it's more like. It's more in a personal lens.

Yeah, it's just me fucking talking shit about how dark it all is. Yeah. But we don't, no, not really. Like I just don't care to like make that my angle all the time. Right, yeah, yeah. Because I don't fucking, I know it sounds gross, but I really don't know not really like I just don't care to like make that my angle all the time. Yeah Yeah, because I don't fucking I really I know it sounds gross, but I really don't give a shit. Well It's hard for me to think that it affects us in like a major way

But like the truth is that most politicians including Trump don't really get shit done ever. Nobody does so it's Yes, it affects people and you know, and if yeah, it does the shit that he says he's gonna do with like tariffs I think we're gonna be sucking dick for money, but I the way I wanted it Back to the way we want. Yes, just topping off for lotto tickets. Well, I am excited. I Am I am excited? For my city to stop burning burning I will say that so

hopefully that'll change because we got a little bit of rain so now I am that's my political asylum is what was that like were you fucking podcasting while while it was on fire yeah yeah we actually got us we moved to another studio closer to the fires on purpose during the fire hoping we would get caught on fire and die because the numbers would be fucking amazing like if we caught on fire while we were potting and we wouldn't have stopped for the fans we would have never stopped the studio's on fire Michael Scott take the camera you know we would have potted for you baby it was dark it was fucked up and then I

you know I think it decimated the town in a way that's I don't know we'll see what happened that's why I feel like everyone in LA feels melancholy like I am right now because It's rough. It's super sad. I mean Covid two strikes strikes and then this yeah. Yeah, somebody doesn't like us anymore We got a move but where are we gonna move Can I live with you come to you? I've been telling you to my know But can I live with you and Andy is what I'm saying sure

Are you being serious cuz I'll do it you should do it, but only to see how quickly you get the fuck out of our house Because you're gonna be there for about 24 hours, and then they're gonna go I gotta get I gotta leave This is not comfortable, and I should leave you're gonna be like these two people talk so much shit Gotta leave this is not comfortable and I should leave you're gonna be like these two people talk so much shit It's too toxic for me to live here knowing you both for so long is so funny because you're perfect You're perfect for each other, but it's it's you know how like you know sometimes like you're like I wouldn't have I wouldn't have seen that coming, but how didn't I see that coming? That's how I felt when I met him You're perfect for each. Yeah, I was like oh Yeah when I met him. You're perfect for each other. Yeah. I was like, oh yeah. Handsome and evil?

This makes sense and also I, it's like I never would have like pursued him. I didn't like see him like that. He pursued you. Yeah. He tells a different story. That's fucking, he's out of his mind. What is the story he tells? That you harassed him a little bit harassed. That's what he says harassed I said it's that's I think the way that I flirt harassment. Yeah, I told him it's hoarding for you Yeah, but he was like, I don't know. It's a little abusive that you're mean to him. Yeah, but mean I said Well, that's Rosie being mean is she likes you. Yeah, and he was like, but it was verbal It was physical. It was mental. You know, we gotta test your strength She said he said the first time you guys hooked up you kept yelling don't be a bitch about this. Oh, yeah Yeah. Well, I can't come unless I say that

So don't be you know, don't be a bitch about this, you little fucking pussy. If you're gonna finish, I'm gonna finish, you know? In here, we pour whiskey.

Hey, I'm here to tell you about Kickoff. Kickoff is here to build credit. All right? It's incredible, by the way. Everybody needs credit, unfortunately. We're stuck in a time when you gotta have it. And how Kickoff works, you get Kickoff Basic, Kickoff Premium.

The Basic is the most popular plan. It's just $5 a month. Kickoff Premium is $20 a month, but it's more powerful, feature-packed plan. They give you you a credit line for credit building and it reports it to the three major credit bureaus. Kickoff helps you quickly improve the key factors that determine your credit. I never knew this, by the way. The factor one is your new account immediately diversifies your credit mix.

That's a big deal. Number two, each on-time monthly kickoff payment builds payment history. Importante. And factor three, because your monthly payments are so small, your credit utilization, the amount of credit you're using, gets healthier fast. So that helps a lot. Look, I had a lot of trouble in my 20s. I was having a lot of fun and using credit cards and getting myself in a little bit of

dumb debt when I was moving out to California. And now that you're older, you want to try to buy a house or you know want to fix your credit or you know get a car or whatever it may be and you're behind and you need a little bit help you gotta try kickoff no matter how how fast time you fly by it's never too late to make progress you gotta use it though the number one credit building app in the app store and plan started just five bucks a month no credit check no hit if he's and no interest whatsoever.

So you gotta give Kickoff a try. Building credit can happen faster than you expect with Kickoff. Don't wait. Get your first month for just a dollar at getkickoff.com slash whiskey.

Danger. I like dangers. By the way, I saw a clip this morning. That makes you laugh.

I saw a clip this morning on Instagram or something of a girl. She had like just gotten over crying. And she's like, do you know how fucked up it is that I just bought a plan B. I just paid for a plan B this morning. And I didn't even fucking come last night. I was like, that's so good. I was like, that is so fucking funny. This morning, and I didn't even fucking come last night

Like that is so fucking funny. That's the only reason I can think of Going on social media to cry she was balling. I was oh she was awesome Yeah, people record themselves crying. You know they had like set it up and I could see but like for her you could tell she was So annoyed and pissed off Come like the guy she fucked she hated his guts You know she was like this was like that It was a loser's friend who was a bigger loser than the guy I was gonna fuck Yes But he didn't like me so I fucked this loser

Oh my god I don't know if it was a bit but it was really good If that, whoever you are, if that was real When you fuck someone you hate and you don't even get to come It is, there's nothing For women, I mean it's I guess for men too When you hate and you don't even get to come it is there's nothing for women I mean, it's I guess for men too, but you guys always come pretty much. No, no Well not yes. Yeah, you're batting average. No. Yeah. No, we've always come. Yeah. Yeah, we always come like like most like women

Well, some women have to not have to but some women will fake. I don't know a man that's fake. Have you faked? Never faked. Right. That's not a thing. When we almost come and then we don't get, I don't know, maybe I'm alone in this. I get so angry. I get so mad.

Like I've never. When you don't get to come and you were right there. There was... Oh my God, I have a daughter. Dude, she's going to hear. Okay. So there was this one time when Andy and I were messing around and I had a vibrator and the vibrator broke and that threw me off and then then how did it break it like they ran out of batteries

Okay, say that cuz I was like you broke it No, so it ran out of batteries and then you know, he was like he wasn't being a good sport He was like, okay, we can we can get through this. Let's do this Yeah but I was like I got pissed off cuz I was really like enjoying that and then that broke and then I was like I couldn't and I just lost it and I fucking Threw the vibrator against the wall. It fucking broke it broke now It broke now it broke right and I I was like god fucking damn and I was like, oh I

Forgot you were here. I Got so mad He was like no, it feels forgot you were here. Like, I got so mad. He was like, no, it feels like you were alone doing this. And I just sort of got in the way. But you're like, sometimes I am alone when you're with me. Yeah, well, and I'm married. Sometimes I'm trying to get somewhere. Yeah, exactly, dude.

We don't always, we're not always there. It's not the notebook every fucking day. Right, right, right. You know what I mean? Sometimes it's- Sometimes you're both just trying to get off. Yeah. To make it to Wednesday.

And I need you, you're here. Yeah. Come, come, fast please, get here now. Yeah, that's the beauty of married life. Are you guys hooking up between the nap times? Is this nap time hookup? No, this was, I think she was asleep. Yeah, she was asleep and it was, she was like a newborn. Oh, yeah, she could have watched. Yeah, she was asleep and it was she was like a newborn

She could have watched yeah, she could watch let her cock you Mar baby our new baby cock no play school presents our new baby Reviews for preschools in like two years Imagine I'm gonna be like yeah. Well, well, you know, it's going to pay the bills. But yeah, it is, I do think that's the beauty of married life is that you kind of are, you're like alone together. You're alone together. Yeah.

Yeah. 100%. So a lot of times you're connecting, a lot of times it's really fluid and fun and you know, you're like, man. I really like this fucking human This is rad yeah, and then a lot of times the op polar polar opposite yeah, when you're like fuck you don't want to see you Don't like being around Like I can't avoid you like if you could actually go back on your phone That makes things a little bit better for me. Yeah, if you don't even look at me in the face

That's like, but that's like it's so funny It's like everyone's experience and yet for years people didn't want to say it as if that was yeah reality people were like come on What no it's everything is if you have to like that for you, you're crazy. There's still people like that There's still and I truly hope their car flips over People that pretend that it's all perfect and that it's supposed to be, and that, I'm like, what, in what fucking world? I don't buy, I just don't buy it because, okay,

or, how about this, I'll just play devil's advocate then. Maybe it is like that for them, but then the love when it is heavy is not as strong as when it is, right? Because when you're like annoyed with someone because you love them and because you're with them all the time, the way you love on the other side of it when it's positive has to be way stronger than theirs.

There's must be baseline. The lower your lows are, the higher your highs are. 100%. And that's who we are, we're peakers, dude. We're peakers, it's our nature. That's why you're a standup, that's why you're a brilliant writer. For those that don't know, you're probably one of the- Oh geez, that's not saying things we can't take back. Well, no, and it's true.. That's why you're a stand-up. That's why you're a brilliant writer for those that don't know you're probably

Well, no, and it's true and it's true and also I'll say this before I started the show. I should have said it but I'll say it now Rosie has a special out right now. It's on Netflix. You can watch it right now. It's out right now So in fact, if you want to stop the pod jump over come back do it I don't fucking it's fine. It doesn't matter But it's been the specials called the mother load the mother load and it's double entendre for people that don't know. Yeah You were a truck driver for the first 15 years of your adult life Yeah, and I was also part of the gold rush you were I'm on my like 16th life or something. God bless Yeah, well it all comes back around. Motherlode shot in?

In the cellar in New York. And shot. What a fucking dream. Shot half of it pregnant, half of it a year after having the baby. Mostly, it's gonna sound like a concept, but honestly I wasn't really ready to shoot the first half. And I was talking to Ryan Hamilton, who's a great fucking comic.

One of the best. Yeah, and I was like, I gotta get this on film. I gotta get this on tape because I'm gonna have a kid. You know what I mean? So I gotta get this on tape. But I don't fully know if it's ready. And I know that comics are just throwing shit at the wall right now.

It doesn't matter anymore, yeah. But it's not how I wanna do it. And so I was like, but just throwing shit at the wall right now, but it's not how I want to do it right and so I was like I but I'm gonna put it on film and see what happens and he was like Why don't you shoot half of it and then shoot the other half later? Wow, and I was like, oh like after I was like, yeah, that's actually great because I I'm more curious about what happens after Yeah, then I am right now about the yeah, dude. That's actually great because I'm more curious about what happens after than I am about the... Right now? Yeah.

Dude, that's brilliant. Did you thank him in the special thanks? Yes, of course. I've shouted him out every fucking chance I can. How funny would that be if you didn't? It'd be so fucking evil. If you do a big interview and somebody's like, Rosie, you're on Howard Stern. Where did you get this idea, this concept?

And you're like, honestly, it just kind of came, yeah on my own. Yeah, it's all special things and then I'm like and There's like a separate card. That's just like and if anybody else comes to mind. I'll let you guys know Love that no Hamilton's the fucking man. Yeah, that's a great idea and that's so great. Yeah and to do it you did it in In McDougal. Yeah. Yeah, I did it. no, no, no, I did it at the VU. At the VU, okay. I did both at the VU. McDougal's tiny. Yeah.

But you could do it, right? I mean, people have done it. Yeah, I mean, it's just, I mean, I would look taller, which would have been nice, but I just wanted to, I wanted to have that feeling of like, I like a bigger room, you know? But the VU is, I think, like a nice kind of in-between. It's perfect.

Yeah, no, numbers-wise, it's really, really good. McDougal's great, I love it, because it's tiny and it's almost like we're a little dirty together. And it's a, see, it's like somebody's, it's like you're telling. It's got a prohibition vibe. It's 100%, yeah.

We're not supposed to be down here. Yeah. Yeah, VU feels more like a comedy club, where you're like, yeah, no,, no everybody knows it's okay to be here It's got a little bit of a road room feel to it to 100% Yeah, especially when the band kicks in yeah There's times where I'll be up there and I'm like It's full band just right next to me full band and I feel bad for the band Because I'm like if I'm not doing great and I'm, you guys, do you guys want to go smoke or like get the fuck out of here?

I feel bad. Because that's like a, there's a, like I don't care if the crowd is like, yeah, some of the stuff, if it did okay that night, if they're like, yeah, it was alright, but like the, another, another performer has to be near you watching you perform? I know, especially if you want to try something. Yeah, it fucks me up a little bit. If you're trying something and somebody's just watching you go, that was a choice.

Yeah, it's so fucked. You know what I mean? Yes, and they do make those faces where they go, hmm. Yeah they do. Yeah, dude. And sometimes I'll look and I'll be like, fuck you. Yeah, fuck you. You know what I mean?

I'm like, fuck you, Red. Like, be nice. But also, he's right. Yeah. Yeah, whenever I do a joke that's like, okay, and then they're like, I was like, yeah, right, I know. I know. I fucking know I fucking know taking the feedback No, but it is so nice when you get to that point at the cellar to like when you're comfortable enough to try

Oh, yeah, cuz there's so many people I mean a lot of people have gotten past and I think that's great Yes It's good to like get new blood but there there is that period of time after you get past where it's like you're just doing A, you're just doing, you're playing the hits because you just want to stay at the club. You know what I mean?

And you have to. 100%. But I really enjoy it when I see a comic go up and try something. Yes. Because it's like, thank you. What the fuck are we doing this for? Yeah, otherwise it's never gonna grow.

Yeah. That's the only other thing I will say about The store having a little bit of leg up on that is the store kind of promotes a lot of that Internally a lot of people are always trying a lot of shit Yeah in the original room like always all the time, right? And I think it's just a cultural thing right like the pressure of the seller is crazy. I think it happened. Honestly, I Mean, I don't know because I

haven't been there this long but I have a theory which is that you know when on Louie like you saw it every week on TV yeah and that gives it a kind of like mystique that you don't that it a regular comedy club doesn't necessarily have totally which you could say that about the store too though because the store had a long time ago Documentaries and shit about yeah, even recently though Yeah but I mean but our but the stores heyday of like relevance and insert like inserting itself in a culture was really like

Jim Carrey and and Robin Williams these guys like that you saw film there and do stuff. Yeah, it like Immortalized the main room and that red brick, you know, big red light. It did something. It's just different now. Times are fucking... It is, it's odd because I... You're like one of the comics that I talk to about comedy in a really dorky way. Yeah, nerd shit.

You know what I mean? But I miss this a lot. I know, me too. Because it feels like it doesn't happen as much. Well, everyone now is a grown-up. Like, you grew you everyone's grown up Everyone's like I'm married or they're divorced or they moved or or they're on the run You know yeah a few friends that are on the run. Yeah, and they're and they're gonna get you boys. Yeah, they are gonna get

You can't kill people and get away with it. Yeah, no you can't it's not it's not okay. You wish you could But you can't and we're coming for first person that you would kill if you could if it was okay. Like what is that? What's the movie where you can kill someone and get away with it? What day is that? You know it's like the movie where like oh the purge? Yeah who's on your purge day? Who's the one person you could kill if you could? I know you've thought about this Rosie, there's no doubt in my mind you've been in the shower going oh 100% kill that person, I mean it but you're asking you're sort of like Billy on the street in me right now I know like name a woman here. There's a long list. You know what I mean? I'm crazy that he's so he's so good at stumping people when you know

They know what they want to say but they can't but like I because I have an answer to this But you just asked me out of the blue and I don't I suddenly don't have an answer. This name a woman Me that doesn't count Okay, good. There you go. Jesus Christ. Isn't that amazing that that works somehow? Yeah name an Asian person go a famous Asian Bobby Bobby Lee not Bobby Lee Bobby Lee can't you can't just say no famous. I said famous. I said famous Bobby Lee's famous Nope. No, thank you. You're out of your mind You're out of your mind name a famous person Asian person mind. Name a famous person, Asian person, not Bobbie Lee, go. Ronnie Chang.

That's great. Now that, now Ronnie Chang is famous. We like Ronnie Chang. Yeah. Bobby Boo, Ronnie Ye. Yeah. Ronnie Chang is the man. Right.

Okay, so if you could kill one person. Okay. And you're gonna get away with it. Past or present. Gotta be right now, cause I gotta know, I gotta know that get away with it past or present gotta be right now cuz I gotta know I Gotta know that I could see it happen And you'd come over to my house and we'd talk about it, but the cops can't get you okay It's gonna be okay, too

I'm gonna be honest with you. It's I Think the guy that just what's his name that just got Who he'll look it up. He's already looking, he's already on Google, fingers... And I could be, listen, I haven't read enough about him, but... from what I've read, whoever just got... Secretary of Treasury. Who's that? I don't know who that is.

He's gotta go. I'm too stupid to know who that is. It's gonna be real bad. Unless you're a scam artist. If you're a scam artist, it's gonna be a great four years for you You're about to make a shit ton of money Scott a lot of real Scott Besant. Yes. Yeah, what is Scott Besant? I don't know anything why don't I don't know he's gotta go ex hedge fund manager confirmed as his Treasury Secretary Ex-hedge fund guy you're gonna love this guy. Yes one of the best

Yeah, he's gonna be he's gonna be doing the tariffs and all that shit Oh, he's he's playing with fucking house money, and it's gonna be bad What's his name Scott what Scott B Scent best and I want to be him and listen If you got a shit ton of money if you're if you're watching this and you're just rolling in it You know yeah, God bless and take me out go off Do I kill her? I'm dead serious. Yeah Okay, but I think he's

one of those where I'm like It's gonna be bad. You know, he's got to go soon Yeah, yeah, we do have a gun there in the studio. Oh, is that real? Yeah, I wish that does not look real Oh, it's a faker. Okay. Yeah, I was shotguns Shotguns before we can't we can't we can't have any real guns in the studio Bobby gets all scared It's all weird about it really yeah too many too many suicidal people Yeah, too many people are there that we've never done a fucking you guys have never done like a shooting range together No, I have a joke about it in my new hour that we got offered to go to a shooting range And he wouldn't do it absolutely not he was so scared I won't step on the joke but because it's a real

story but he he says well we talked about it now I bet you it's cuz he's like scared of kickback I bet it's cuz he doesn't know he's afraid he he he thinks that he didn't grow up around afraid. He thinks that... He didn't grow up around it. Yeah, but he thinks that someone will get killed even if everyone's being safe. Yeah. Which I totally understand. I know what he means by that.

I almost killed Andy. So close. We were fucking, yeah, it was pretty close. Where'd you guys go? We went, we were visiting my dad, and whenever we go visit my dad, we go shooting. Your dad's a big hunter. Yeah.

Shotguns? Shotguns. 12 gauge, 20 gauge? You don't know. I think he's got a 12 gauge at least for skeet shooting. Is it over under or side by side? Are the barrels on top of each other or are they next to each other?

I think it's on top. Oh nice. Yeah, yeah. Nice. Because I remember looking through, but I'm trying to remember if it's, yeah, it's on top. Oh, nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice. Yes, because I remember looking through, but I'm trying to remember if it's, yeah, it was on, yeah. But there's a video of me basically doing this with my dad,

and I hadn't shot since I was like 10 years old, and I was like, because I used to do it at camp, we would go to Christian summer camp, and we would fucking ride horses and shoot guns and go to church. And I literally, I hadn't shot a gun in so long, I'm like holding it, my stance is fucked, I'm not a good shot, but I like,

I forgot how fucking hard that kickback is. And I went, oh fuck, and I just swung the gun this way, and you just see my dad go, no, no, no, no, and Andy go, blah, he's filming it, but he's ducking at the same time. Those things are fucking heavy. They're crazy heavy, and you've got your finger on it still. You know, it's like my finger's still on the trigger.

You forget the second that you're done shooting it. You're, we went to I really mean the guy that was opening for me We went to when we were in Canada. We're in Alberta, and we were shooting guns We were shooting all sorts of fun stuff And there was one point where I was just like bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang and then I realized I'm like Oh my god. It's he's not a toy. Yeah, he's like three feet away from me. Yeah, he's like right. He's like staring over my shoulder I was like this is a fucking how easy be for me like bro. Yeah check this out. I'm just shoot him I I Cannot believe that anybody who is really into shooting

Doesn't at least think of it a little bit like a toy. It's a toy. It does become a toy You forget that it's a thing forget that it is a I also have a little panic moment of when we went to a when you whenever I go to like a public range of any kind You don't know any of these people It would take nothing for some lunatic to be like okay, and then shoot down the line Yeah, I think about that all the time every time I'm like I don't know any of these guys I don't know any of their intentions I don't know if they're crazy or if they're like fuck him who cares what if he's having a bad day? And he's like you know what I don't care fuck it. Yeah, that scares cares? What if he's having a bad day and he's like, you know what? I don't care, fuck it.

Yeah. That scares me a little bit too. What if he has a fucking seizure? You know what I'm saying? Start shooting everybody. Yeah, dude. It's like, you don't know. No, I know. That's why public shooting rangers gives me a little bit of the... Yeah, no. I don't know, I get weirded out by it.

Because I don't... It's fucking freaky. Because can you trust anybody? No. But we do all the time. I don't even trust myself. I know, but we do so much. But we do all the time. I don't even trust myself. I know, but we do so much. You trust everybody all the time. When you get into an Uber, you just trust this stranger that he won't kill you.

No. We can't, but we need to. I don't. I really don't. I don't think that I walk around. You think about death every time you're in an Uber? I think about death every day, several times a day. All day long?

Yeah. I really do. How do you think you go? I'm always like, I'm probably gonna like walk in front of a bus. Oh, on purpose? By accident, looking at my phone like an asshole. Right, you're gonna die like an asshole. Yeah, I feel like I'm gonna die like an asshole.

Like one of those ways where you're like, you know, Rosie could have prevented it. And everyone's like, what the fuck, what she was doing, what? And then they have to lie. Yeah. You know when they have to lie about someone's death and they go, oh yeah, it was a crazy, fatal accident. crazy fatal accident Yeah, someone's like what happened and they're like, I think it was just a crazy accident. Yeah, she didn't wash her hands enough It's gonna be something fucking embarrassing. You know, yeah, I think like Ultimately, I would like for people to not dress it up. Yeah, you know if I did something where it's like Oh you fucking moron. I'd like that to be addressed. Yeah, right.

You know? Where you did something real foolish. Yeah. You know what bothers me? I saw an article this morning about someone that died, an athlete, a pitcher, a famous pitcher, and they always run the, like the publications that have like any sort of fucking like heart

will just be like, he died unexpectedly this morning in his home. And then right underneath that will be like page six or one of these fucking things just be like, he died unexpectedly this morning in his home. And then right underneath that will be like page six or one of these fucking things that's like drug overdose, house littered with paraphernalia. You're like, all right, dude, you don't need to fucking shit on him. He just died.

But they always wanna expose you for being like, and guess what? He was jerking off to gay porn, needles everywhere. You're like, all right, dude, just say he died. Just say he died. Give it a day. Give it a little bit. That bothers me now,

because people need to know how, how'd he die? Like you have to know. I know. You should just be like, he passed away unexpectedly. It was pretty awful. People go, sign on. Shit, man, sorry, dude. Good run.

Good run, man. Yeah. Now we're like, let me see a photo of it. Yeah, I know. What does it look like? There is something about that that's like, I think like we're just so fucking it's like give me more. I want to know it's like why are we getting fucking dopamine hits from Obituaries because this this thing made us want to know more than we should know. Yeah

We have access to every we have a too much access So we need to know more than we should know. And yet we know less than we have ever known. I know that is fucked. We know nothing. And we're not growing knowledge wise, right? We're going backwards for sure. Probably. I think what we know, I think what's interesting like our generation versus our parents would be, we know more about, I think we arguably we know more about present culture. Like we would know more about, I think we, arguably, we know more about present culture. We would know more about everything in our present culture more so than on our history. My dad, I can ask him anything about what's going on now.

He's pretty fucking lost, but if I'm historical, if I ask him questions, ask my dad a question about World War II, he'll sit you down for like an hour and a half. And be like, and then, and then, and he knows everything. And I think our generation, but I think we don't know that as much yeah I think our generation doesn't know history as much no what like his generation I can barely tell you about the in sync years that and well that and now those are the good years dude that was that was when America was great I will say it was pretty good in sync was fucking pretty good. Make America in sync again.

Dude, I was watching the Deadpool like Wolverine movie. I never watched it. Should I watch it? If you want. Just being straightforward. Here's what I didn't like about it, okay? There's always in Deadpool, there's a lot of like nods to camera.

You know what I mean? This was like, we're getting really camera. You know what I mean? This was like, we're getting really inside. You know what I mean? They're talking about how Disney got sold, or how Fox got sold to Disney. And I'm like, who is this for? You know what I mean? The writers.

Yeah, you just kind of hear the writers room talking about like... The politics of the business. You know, there's like a jerk off joke, and he's like, that's not new to me, but it is to Disney, you know? And it's like... What? Stop it.

You know? It's a little too industry inside for me. But that's how they know they've gone too far in the superhero world is now they're... Now the superhero worlds, I feel like a lot of them are mocking themselves or they're joking about another superhero world. Right. And when I see that, I'm like a lot of them are mocking themselves or they're joking about another superhero world. Right. And when I see that, I'm like, that's so fucking weird. I think that's always been part of the Deadpool thing.

That's for them, yes. But this just got like too inside Hollywood for me and like inside baseball for me. And I feel like I get a lot of what they're saying. Yeah. I'm like, I get the jokes. That's bad. And it's not really working for me. It should go over my head a little bit.

Yeah. It should be more like fantasy. It should be like, yeah, I want to hear a made up, make it up, make it more fantastical. Yeah, I mean, it's totally like a matter of taste, but for me, I was like, that's. Do you remember as a kid, like watching a movie and laughing at a joke and then learning what the joke

actually was when you got older? Do you know what I'm talking about? Yes. Where you like, that made me think of like in film when I was a kid I remember like seeing something laughing, having no fucking idea why I laugh but like cause the cue, the comic cue of it. Yeah. Like you understood that that's where it was funny. Yes.

But I just didn't get it. Yeah, I know an exact joke. Like that happened to me all the fucking, what is it? It was a Rodney Dangerfield joke. Yeah. He'd be like, he was like, I know I don't look like it, but I do pretty well with the ladies. And then he'd go, I'm a rapist. Oh God.

And I would watch that. And I would laugh instinctually at that joke. Because the beat is right. The rhythm is so perfect. But then you get it and you're like, oh my god, it's so much funnier. It's so funnier now that I'm grown. It is funny. It is. Because you just knew the rhythm was exactly where it's supposed to be and it's just like

Perfect like punchline brevity right right. It's like three fucking words. You're like. Oh my god. There's not there's no fat on it It's just a perfect joke that is fucking brilliant. What is that was that? What was that from? Is that just a spot that he did it was just a set that you know I honestly can't remember God, that's really good. He'll look at the depths of it. It's so good What I what is it? I mean a lot of his stuff is just one-liner stuff even a special No, but if it was put in anything yeah, I might have been in a special it appears to be in no respect No respect yeah, yeah like the og yeah, that sounds right god. That's fascinating though Yeah, right cuz you it happens to me a lot in film now. I realize I'm so grown that

Nothing is gonna miss me usually yeah, and I miss it when I was young and it like caught me off guard Yeah, well, I was like fucking and my dad would hear something and be like Yeah, yeah, I don't need a fucking yeah, listen away. I got that feeling of like oh, this is bad I shouldn't be listening this right right naughty Yeah, but I don't feel that in film at all like I don't have that anymore every time I go see something now I feel like it's I get it from mom. I don't really get it from comedy as much anymore. No, it's more like I'm Just like saw a comedy I don't know. I really genuinely don't know. I actually don't know I was asking for real for real not even like a rhetorical

The last comedy film I saw in the theater was I Think the closest mine would be is Barbarian but that was a horror But a comedy horror fucking funny, but it's but a strict horror.

Doesn't that feel weird? We work in comedy. You literally write a comedy show. Yeah. So I'm like why would I want to do that? Why would I want to go see that? I know but we used to do it all the time. So have we lost that thing that like love for the...

No. It's just not there. It's work. So it's like why would I go home from work to work? To work. See that's how I feel often times when someone's like like have you seen this special do you see this person special? And I'm like, I don't know. I'm thinking about my work or selfish So it's hard to like then see someone else's work and I don't want to really be that influenced by it

No, that's the scariest part. I don't really want to like I Want to focus on my shit right and then you know, it's less about jealousy. I think people think it's like Sometimes when you see someone live you go. I wish I wrote that joke because I like that concept so much Yeah, but most of the time it's I don't want that to tickle my brain like say like I see someone that I really like Yeah at the cellar or something at the store or whatever and I'm in there killing and I like something that they have They're a concept so much that like I don't want it to lay an egg in my head. Yeah, it'll trickle in and then later you say it but you're like, did I get it from someone,

you know what I mean? Or you say, yeah, even a concept where you're like, there's a piece of that that I already had a joke about but then you'll dig deeper into it and then I'll start to go, yeah, but I don't, but isn't that like that thing that they kind of? Yeah. And then I get super anxious,'m like throw it away I know I

well that's the beauty of I think doing stand-up for a while is you're like nothing's really that fucking sacred nothing if it's all bullshit I've seen jokes that I'm like I I'll look at a joke and be like I have that joke you know what I mean and I'm like I don't think they fucking stole it no they just know it's just not that good of a joke Would nothing is that good? Yeah, right like nothing even even someone who writes like a perfect like that Dangerfield joke like It's not like he's the only guy that could have wrote that joke right? That's he's the only one who could have written it like that correct a hundred percent But but someone else could have done something in the same vein exactly yeah, but but at some point yeah

That's why I think what's happening new with stand-up now of like people just throwing stuff up Like you said, I'm jealous because I don't do it really ever. I mean, I know I don't post much stand-up I think that's great. I guess I don't know. I think I should a little bit more but also You you realize there's no consequence. So people just do it cuz you're like, yeah, it doesn't matter It doesn't it doesn't really matter. It doesn't but I I think it matters in the sense It doesn't matter in an external sense, but I think it does matter when it comes down to it because like There is something really fucking special about putting out an hour

I think so still like it's been my last hour that I did was in 2020 I was just about say pan knew you knew the pandemic, didn't you? Yeah. And I was like, I remember like two years later being like, I mean, I have an hour, but it's not worth putting out. You don't like it. It's not saying anything. And I want to do something that says something, you know?

Not to like make a point, but just something that I'm like, this speaks to a particular time, it's an hour, it has an arc, you know what I mean? That's to me important and that's like what I wanna do. It's not how it should be done or anything like that, obviously, but I think, I don't know, I just like, that's I want to do comedy. I think it's kind of also how maybe we were raised or a little in the world of comedy

we were raised in that kind of was just like. Put an hour out every year that kind of thing. Yeah. It's like though that's for Louie. Yeah, that's just for Louie. Yeah. In fact, only for Louie. Yeah. Pretty much. Like, unless you have that much to say every fucking year. Yeah.

I mean, I hope you're like traveling the fucking globe. Right, right. What are you doing in a year? I don't know how people do that. Yeah. Well when he did it, it was like very appropriate for some reason because it's almost like he got to open up the piece of his brain and spill it all out and then so much spilled out that they were like, well I guess we could do that we could just keep doing this until you run out. Right. And then and then time does tell that you can only do that so much. That's not a knock on him at all. It's an impossible thing to keep doing in perpetuity.

That's fucking crazy. Right. So I hope now, after this special, which is out right now, and it's phenomenal, and please go watch the motherload, please, and tell your fucking friends, and keep it in the algorithm, and comment, and like it, and do all the shit it I'm sure is money. That's all we get all Your attention, please it really is though, but it is so it is so sad that You put together this piece you put it up on the internet. I

Know it's good because I know you and you have to hope the internet does the internet thing I hope so is that't that fucking insane? They're like, I put all this work in this, well, I hope this digital fucking world does the thing. But you know what? At the same time, like I have never, and maybe you're similar, I've never like made anything that I really liked.

Oh my God, no, I've never like, you know, I've never liked anything. Yeah. No. Like, but there is like that feeling of the day that you film something. You're know, I've never liked anything. Yeah. No. Like, but there, there is like that feeling of the day that you film something. You're like, I like that. It's fun, yeah. So like, that's really why we do it.

I think we lose that because we're so busy thinking about the internet and the algorithm or whatever, but that actually robs us of the thing that is. Of course, yeah. It's so fucking fun to do. You just get that chunk of time that you make it and then when it's done, it's done. But I feel like that's the best comparative

to like when somebody does, I just bought a piece of art from somebody, a guy that we know. Yeah. Supporting. Let's give him a round of applause. Thank you. His name is, it's Picasso. And thank you.

No, I bought a guy who's a comic, who does great art and I loved his shit. And I was like, yeah, I wanna a guy who's who's a comic who does great art and I loved his shit and I was like I want to buy this piece of art and I and he was like, oh Awesome, dude, like cool. It's gonna be cool to let it go and I thought oh, that's gotta be how that's gotta be how It feels cuz he's a comic too. I was like, that's gotta be how it feels also Yeah, that same feeling when you're painting I can't paint for shit, but I imagine when you're done. You're like fuck Yeah, yeah, but also you have to be like, okay, that's gotta go I can't think about it when it's gone right because if you do it's gonna you're gonna fucking fuck it up

You're gonna fuck it. I'm gonna look at it for too long, and you're gonna fuck it up Just let it go and it's over and it is what it is and people are gonna like it and people are not gonna Like it and fuck it and who cares yeah, it's fine. It is what it is like that's kind of yes cuz like you Yeah, I've never liked anything anything. I've ever done ever ever whether it's stand-up or comedy or film or television It's all bullshit. Yeah, yeah, kill me murder me spit on me beat the shit out of me. Yeah, call me a bitch loser fuck you Yeah, yeah murder me live it is it is just like a thing that While I'm making something. I don't enjoy it I don't enjoy it and then finally like the it. And then finally, like, the day that I make it and it's out,

I'm like, I really fucking like this thing. I like it a lot. Yeah. Give it a day. And then, yeah, the next day I'm like, you know what, this fucking one thing is... Fucking pig. Or send me the first cut, and I'm like, this is shit! This sucks!

What were you fucking thinking, dude? I almost fucking dropped the whole, like... Because I did two hours. So I did the first hour, and then a year later I did second hour. And I liked the second hour so much better that I was like... I don't want the first hour. I don't want to use that anymore. And so I like went back and forth with the editor, Kelly Lyons. She's a fucking amazing editor.

Shout out to Kelly Lyons. Yeah. Kelly Lyons, she's fucking amazing at it. Shout out to Kelly Lyons. Yeah, and she sent me a cut of just, like just the second hour, and then she sent me a combined cut, and I was like, bitch, you really killed this. So she's the shit.

She's really fucking good. She tricked you into loving your own shit. Yeah. Which is so funny. Which actually just says how good she is. Correct, yeah. Yeah, no, no, no, it's because they're able to find the thing that we couldn't see anyway. Which is so funny. Which actually just says how good she is. Correct. Yeah. Yeah, no, no, no. It's because they're able to find the thing that we couldn't see anyway.

Right. Because you're looking at it too close. Right. Yeah. It's like magic eye. No. I don't think a comic should ever be anywhere near their special in the edit. I know.

At least until like a second pass. Don't let Neil Brennan hear you say that. He'd be like, what? I don't think. until like a second pass. Don't let Neil Brennan hear you say that. He'd be like, what? I don't think... He edited close to here at a studio that we know. And I know him, dude. He was wild to watch him. Because I was going up there to watch him put his together.

And he's so meticulous. And I know my... It's just a personality thing. But I'm so different that it gave me anxiety to be near editors when I was editing stuff. Where I'm like, just whatever you want, man. I just get so nervous. And he's like, you've left the room like 10 times, I gotta go eat or something.

Just cause I also hate the way I look. And you're like, well that guy, I wanna fucking kill that guy. No, I'm like, if you pick an editor who's really good at their job, be meticulous about that. Sure. But then let them fucking do their job. All right, Well, I'm gonna hit maybe I'll hit up Kelly Lyons

Yeah, Kelly Lyon Kelly Lyon Kelly Lyon. Yeah, I'm gonna hit you up Kelly. Imagine. She's like listening this eating and she's like, please don't Well, I'm I'm pushing my audience very hard to go watch this because of all the people and I do mean this a lot because you know How much I love you you? Do you deserve it? You deserve everything and anything you've ever Accomplished and achieved and I don't know if we're allowed to say SNL on here, but as a writer as a writer of SNL What a dream Yeah, what a great dream. Thank you for reminding me of that.

Yeah, you did the thing. You know how hard that is to do the thing? There's almost nobody gets to do it. Remember that sometimes. I do, I do. No one gets to do it. Believe me, I go in there every day and I go, this is a great job. It is.

You did a fucking great job and I know you want to kill yourself Okay, yeah, I never got what those writers rooms were so high up. He's like put it lower it makes sense It also makes sense why the windows don't open all the way yeah that I know is true Yeah, they put the restrict around of you're like interesting although. I will say I'm having a much better time writing for update Yeah, yeah, well that's more your speed. I couldn't get I spent three years in the sketch Although I will say I'm having a much better time writing for Update. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's more your speed. I couldn't get, I spent three years in the sketch. I don't fucking know how to write a fucking sketch. Yeah, you do.

It doesn't make sense to me. You do. I can't write it for SNL. Sure. Like, I can write a sketch, but not for SNL. I don't know why. I just never got it. You know?

Well, it's kind of like I was never good at multicam. I tried it a few times. I had directors being like, you're so funny. Come come do and I would try multi cam and I would bomb and Then I'd go on single cam and I was like this is so much easier to do single camera acting Yeah, multi camera acting was so hard for me So much bigger, right? It's just it's super um It's the irony is it's timing based but they're like have great timing, but I didn't like their rhythm of it. It's very like, it's very like-

Broad. Yeah, but yeah, the rhythm is very, and it's very like keyed into the way it's written. So it's written so rhythmically. Whereas you don't get to pick your own rhythm. When you do single camera stuff, you're choosing the rhythm of your character's delivery. This is like, hey man, it's gotta be this.

Well, I think why you're such a good actor is that you're really ground like you are really grounded It doesn't you don't see you like sweating trying for yeah, well, it's also cuz I'm not even there. I'm pretty lost Yeah, no, I think spiritually you're like sort of out of your body, and it's it's maybe deeply sad. Oh, yeah I'm just like trying to I'm floating through of you like just be free Yeah, you know what I mean? You're like, what kind of cocktail of meds is gonna get me down here?

But you know, it's part of what makes you great at acting is that you're really, I'm all right. You're very easy. I just, that's why, and I found that I was good at that. Like in the way that you're so comfortable at update, it's like, well that's your voice. It's like obviously your voice.

You know, it's like you find what's more, that fits the rhythm of what you do. And I think as we get older too, we stop pretending that we could do the other thing. Whatever it is, like I've realized more and more to be like, I don't wanna do any of that shit, I'm not good at that fucking. And people are like, you'll be great at that.

And you're like, you don't fucking know, dude. Yeah, you don't get that that's not what I do. And I know I'm not, like it's, I was just talking to someone about doing couch when you do late night and all that stuff and it's like, that's, it's anxiety driven for me. Oh yeah. I stay away from it, I've never done it.

I can't do panel shit. Creeps me the fuck out. Panel shit makes me so uncomfortable. I can't do it. It's the same thing, the rhythm is weird. It feels so needy to me. And I know people who do it well, like it doesn't feel like that.

I know. But when I'm up there, I'm like there like please like it just sucks let me get my joke and suck yeah and they're like a commercial like Rosie if you could come because you're you're yelling when you stand you're like screaming at them like you seem like you're at a baby shower sort of an uncomfortable anxiety swirling around you every time I do that so now we found what we do the best. Yeah. And this is an easy transition into truth. And what you do the best is comedy. And go watch Motherload right now on Netflix.

I love you. We end the show the same way. You look into that camera and you say one word or one phrase to end the episode. Make it count because this is it forever. One word or a phrase that really means something to you. What about if I just said the first thing that came into My head, that's what I want you go duck farts In here we pour

Ginger. Like peppers, the ginger gene is a curse. Gingers are beautiful. You owe me five dollars for the whiskey, and seventy-five dollars for the horse. Gingers, oh hell no. This whiskey is excellent. Ginger. I like gingers.
