Welcome back to Whiskey Ginger, a Wave series. Hey, hey, Whiskey Ginge fans. I'm running around a little bit. Bobby Lee and I, March 14th, they're doing the Thunder Valley Casino out there in Sacramento, Lincoln, California, but it's outside of Sacramento up there. Then I do the win in Las Vegas on March 21st, the 27th. I'm jetting off to Providence, Rhode Island, to do Lil Roody Fest. Then April 3rd, I do the make-up date at the Borgata and Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Finally, Bad Friends does one more show, I think, until Loddy. later in the year. Bad Friends plays Netflix as a joke at the YouTube Theater, and go get those tickets to Andrew Santino.com. Those tickets once again are at Andrewsantino. Dot com. In here, we pour whiskey, whisk, whisk, whisk, whisk. You were that creature in the ginger beard. Sturdy and ginger. Like vampires, the ginger gene is a curse. Ginger's a fugitive. You owe me $5 for the whiskey and $75 for the horse. Ginger's, oh, hell no.

This whiskey. is excellent. Ginger. I like gingers. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Ginger. My guest today is one of my favorite people on Earth. I say that for all my guests, but I mean it once again today. It is Internet Phenomenon.

Sex icon. Comedy. Meglodon. Todd Berry. I don't even know what a Meglodon is. Me neither, but I just say it was rhyming. You know, as a freestyle rapper, I just have to find the words that come to me. to me. And you were a freestyler in Brooklyn when you were a kid for four or five years. You were a freestyle. Weren't you a freestyle rapper?

Oh, yeah. I mean, that's how I paid for my college. Where'd you go to school? University of Florida. Oh, I thought you went to an HBCU. I don't know why. What is an HBCU? A historically black college or university? Oh, no, I didn't. You've never heard of HBCU? I probably have, but on the spot I just blanked.

Yeah. Okay. So like Howard University? Howard, Brown. Give me all the HBCUs. Let's shout them all out on the show. I don't know if Brown is one, is it? It should be based on the name. Alabama State University, Morehouse College.

Morehouse. Tuskegee. Tuskegee, Howard. Clark, Atlanta, University. Sneak Brown in there for fun. Nope. All right. HBCU.

We have our first correction of the episode. Put that in the edit. I like to start out correcting. Todd Barry, a phenomenal comedian. a great man, you have you've captivated the world on the internet with your... Have I?

I think people love you on the internet. Don't they? I mean, and what... They love me and they hate me, I guess. I think most people love you. I've yet to find someone that doesn't like you. Oh, well. As of that statement, they'll start pouring in.

Right, right, right. You're welcome. I met him after a show and he was mean. No. Do you meet the fans after the shows? Generally, I do. Do you do a meet and greet, or do you just say hi? I don't do a VIP extra meet and greet, but I don't know, the type of venues I play generally, it would be a little weird of like, yeah. All right, there's 200 people here, and 20 of you can see me and say hi to me.

I'll say hi to anyone who wants to say hi to me. Yeah, you do. That's nice. I think after the shows, though, are you not a little exhausted? You've clearly never seen me do stand up, but I have plenty of energy left. I'm not exhausted, but I mean, I just feel I don't want to like hide backstage. See, I like to sit backstage and then I kind of go over what went wrong. Really? Immediately?

The post-mortem? I'll sit there. Yeah, post-mortem. I'll just sit there right after I get off. I need to take like 10 minutes just to just recalibrate, I guess. Do you record every show? I record audio every show. Yes. I don't do, a lot of guys do video.

Sometimes the clubs will take the video. Like I just did Tempe Improv. They sent me. The kid was like, hey, man, we record every show. I was like, great, I'm on my phone too. And he's like, no, we video it. I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, that's clubs that do that.

That's kind of great. There are some clubs I think that's charge you for it. It's like, come on, man. To pay for the video? Yeah, maybe they do it to the younger comics, which is even worse. That's so mean. Well, and they're also, they're like, yeah, they're already screwing over the younger comics, giving them, you know,

how much money do they get paid now to host or feature $14 a set or something absurd? It's really disgusting. I don't have got money's gone up since I started in the late 80s. Late 80s. Late 80s, though. 89. 87. Yeah.

Wow. Where was your first spot in 87? I don't remember. No, it was, I just celebrated my 38th anniversary in comedy. Congratulations. Yeah. First place was Coconut's Comedy Club, North Miami Beach, inside a Howard Johnson's hotel, which I don't think those exist anymore. No, no, unfortunately, the fall of Howard Johnson.

They used to do the open mic night. This was comedy boom time. Yeah. So Tuesday was packed or, you know, had a hundred people. Or 90 people or, like a real audience. Yeah. And they would have it like the open mic segment and then the headliner in the middle and the headliner. So it was like part of the regular show one day of the week.

Wow. So I played to real audience. I didn't play to like six comics waiting to go on. Right. You played to real human beings. Real human beings. So you had a good, that's a good. But that you started down there?

Yeah. Wow. I know. Are you from down there? I lived down there for like 15-ish years. I was born in the Bronx. And then why'd you move down there? Mom, Dad?

My dad's whole company relocated. Black Rock, right? Aren't you a Black Rock kid? Halliburton. Oh, yeah. I knew it was one of the two. And now you're, what you're, and everyone does know about Todd. Todd's a heavy investor in the marketplace as well.

A stock god, as we call him in the comedy world. I have a Ponzi scheme going if you're interested. You do? I'd love to get it on that. Just give me five grand in all. I'll do it right now. I'll take good care of your five grand. I'll give you some cash.

I think it's people like I started in Los Angeles and then people are like that's crazy almost nobody starts here usually people go somewhere and then they go to New York or they go to right L.A but I started here because I figured I might as well drown I was like I'd rather just drown I didn't want to be too comfortable back home how do you pop in the city with when you start I'm working on it no you're doing fine I think because you're guest I think yeah I was just going to say speaks for itself I think you here was tough I mean I guess maybe it's it was a It was a time, too, where I moved here in 06, and, like, the store was pretty dead when I moved here. Yeah.

Arguably. It was, you know, that's subjective. But it was like, you know, there was a lot of light nights. I mean, Friday, Saturdays were good. But especially because I was doing, you know, friends and family and open mic and stuff like that at the store. But it was all, it was just all comics in that way. Is Friends and Family a bringer show? Friends and family was, so, it's such a weird.

the bureaucracy of the system of getting passed. It was like you would sign up for the mic, and if you were good enough, or you had a plug in to the system to either like Mitzi or Tommy, who was, you know, the manager at the time, they would put you on a friends and family,

meaning like you go at the end of the mic. You get, maybe it was, I don't know if it was the exact same time where we got an extra minute or two, but you'd go at the end, meaning like, we're thinking about considering

letting them showcase. Wow. It was a, It was just a system to filter out, you know. It wasn't even to filter out who sucks. It was to filter out, like, how much you actually gave a shit. So like a test, see how much? Yeah, you're going to keep coming back, and you're going to try to get friends and family,

and then after that, are you going to try to get a showcase? So when you get friends and family today, someone call you over and, hey, got good news for you, Andrew. I mean, yeah. Welcome to friends and family. Yeah, kind of. It's mafia. It was like a mafia. It was like, yeah, we decided that you're good enough to be friends and or family.

I actually somehow got passed without ever auditioning. Well, you're, I mean, is that because I'm whatever level I might be perceived? Yeah, because you're well respected and you're achieved. Because I used to hear all these stories about, like, famous comics that I mean, you know, I can't think one. But Seinfeld never got passed. Really? She didn't pass him. Mitzie never passed him.

Wow. Isn't that cool? Did you audition for her? No. Well, she was quite sick by the time I started coming around. And so then I auditioned for Tommy was the guy who used to be there. He was the guy that passed me. He was kind of like the...

Adam Eegitt was after him, who I'm sure you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Eget was right after him. But I audition for him. Audition, it sucks, man. It was so hard. Because you go at the end of a... Or sometimes they put you in, like, the sweet spot of, like, a good show.

Uh-huh. So you've got phenomenal headliners just beating up the room, and then you've got to go up there and just tank shit. Right, and you have, like, five minutes to get your rhythm going. And then you're done. And you've only got two or three good minutes. of like really good stuff that you're like, these two jokes are going to kill, and then everything else was...

Yeah, I moved to New York too soon, I think, after... Like, after a year of doing comedy in Florida. You went to back to New York and after a year... I knew I wanted to live back in New York, but, you know, you think you're better than you are a little bit. When you're young, yeah, you do. Yeah, you know, I go in there with your eyes and start, I can do what these guys are doing.

They're doing eight minutes, and then... Right. I could on some level do it, but also I probably should have toured the country at least once or twice and then showed up. Done a bunch of D rooms? Smooth as silk, yeah. Did you do a bunch of those D rooms at any point? Like the rooms that were not really rooms?

Did you ever headline a room that was like, it's like a hall or something? You mean on the road or something? Yeah, where they just pool it together? Oh, yeah, I mean, back in Florida there was also, I mean, I guess they would be, there was this kind of boom where you could work in Florida for two months. Just touring around?

Yeah, because there's always, he's an old place, a guy who goes into a restaurant bar and go, hey, what do you do on Wednesdays? We're kind of dead. I could produce a comedy show here. Yeah. And then they get a mic. Right, right.

But those were good sometimes. Sometimes there was notorious bad ones. And the word gets around. Yeah, yeah. But I kind of always went on almost anywhere. You didn't care. Oh, I cared. I just thought it was the right thing to do.

Right. Now you're picky. Now it's like I don't go on anywhere. That's how picky. That's how good I am. You literally can't see me. live anywhere. Well, you don't need to tour anymore.

I mean, you, you, you, I mean, people that know, I mean, I don't know if anybody reads the news, but Todd is the one that refurbished the Chrysler building in New York that just reopened now with 15 apartments. That's you. Is that true? That is true. 15 apartments? I think that's what they said.

You can look it up. It's 13 or 15, like, brand new. And they're a reasonably priced. I think they're only like $30 or $40 million a piece or something like that. I've always thought they should have, I wonder why they don't have apartments in the Empire State Building. I mean, you know, just in case King Kong wants the climate again, I feel like... That's all you know about the Empire Stable.

No, I also know Empire, the carpet company. Five-eighth. Am I wrong to think you were moving to New York? I would have loved to do it. I think life changed a little bit for me. I had a few things change in life, and I needed to stay here. I needed to stay here. The podcast kind of grew out of my...

Like, Bobby and I show grew to a degree that was bigger than I thought that it was going to be. So in the pandemic, I was like, I'm ready to move to New York. And the show blew up kind of without. Genuinely, we started that show because we were like, hey, the audiences liked us together. We had a ton of fun. And it literally was the very beginning of COVID. And I was like, this probably was not going to last.

So I feel like I talked to you in New York about you moving. Yeah, yeah, I wanted to really, really bad. I pushed for it. And then that show got big. And I was like, I can't, I can't bounce back and forth. Like, that became my priority. and he won't go anywhere. He barely leaves his house.

I saw him last night. He was at the store. Yeah. Yeah, that's all he go. He literally should have a zip line from his house over the hill to the store. How many apartments in the Chrysler building? Did it say?

He's not doing his job. What are you looking up? You had one job. You had one job. You had one job. What is it saying? But there was an article that's his Manhattan iconic Chrysler building is on the market, but.

Todd bought it. See, that's old news. I bought that. It's from May 30th. It doesn't... Yeah, I just saw a thing that popped up. All cash deal about it. It's just listing off, like, how many bricks and rivets and tons of steel.

Well, we'd love to know how many bricks and rivets and tons of steel. How many bricks? How many bricks are in the Chrysler building? I don't think of it as a bricky building, but I guess all buildings are brickish. All of that age. Yeah. I'll give you a hint. It's in the millions.

Yeah. Why'd you give us that hint, man? I didn't want you to, I want to give you something. 462. He didn't want that answer. I was to say three bricks. Just three beautiful bricks. Three, like, right above the door.

size breaks. I'm going to say six and a half million. 20 million. 3,826,000. So we're both over, so we don't, none of us get the showcase. Both of us cannot get a brickling job anywhere.

We blew it. We blew it pretty bad. You'll never leave New York now, though, forever, huh? I mean, I come out here and it's kind of like, yeah, it's kind of nice. You know how many New York guys tell you that to me? They'll be like, that like, I hate Los Angeles, but man, is it nice when I come out here?

But then I also came in like the weirdest rainy season of, I just assume it's always going to be nice here, and then I, you know, I shouldn't assume, I guess. You brought the rain. I did bring, the rain is a big fan of mine. It is. You do, it feels like the cloud is right behind you wherever you go. Well, that's for other reasons. Well, Pee, you're kind of an enigma. You're a little bit of a mystery.

Would you call me? Huh? Did you call me Pedy? An Enigma. No, I heard the enigma, but I thought you said a name. I said you're kind of an enigma. Okay. See, it's stuff like that.

That doesn't make any sense. Petey, where did you drive? I don't know, man. Why did you call me that? I'm sorry, Pete. I thought you were Pete Davidson this whole time. Imagine we did this whole show, and I'm like, thanks, my guest, Pete Davidson. That's not Pete Davidson?

Oh, that's not about that. You're an enigma because nobody knows. I mean, I guess we shouldn't reveal it. It's none of your fans' business, but you're a father of 13 kids, and by six different. women which is fascinating 13 different states right that's pretty cool yeah can you name the states and when they can't name the kids or the states that's how fucking badass I am yeah you're pretty hardcore that's that is your repertoire in the game you're just on the road having babies you have a special out now yeah it's been out a bit but maybe I could just

pretend it just came out let's have a pretend you have a special on YouTube yeah called domestic short hair filmed in Chicago at the let me guess Den? Yes. Got it. One gas. One for one. A lot of people like the Den.

It's really good. I've never played it. A lot of people have said when I go back to Chicago, because that's home for, that was where I, that's where I'm from. But there was like, you should play it. But I never got a chance to play it. I feel like I played, I mean, there's a million things to play while you're there. Yeah, Chicago does have a lot of venues.

Yeah. But you probably play a place that's bigger than that, right? I mean, it depends, right? Like, right now I'm doing, I'm in clubs again. And I'm doing clubs for the next, for the foreseeable future because I put out an hour so, and I'm building an hour. So I'll do a bunch of clubs until I feel like maybe I want to do a theater. But I do play the Chicago theater. That's my favorite.

I opened for Ricky Jervais there. Really? Yeah, he's the British guy? Yeah, I like him. He's from England, I think. Yeah, England, yeah. How do you feel about British people as a whole? I like them.

All of them? Well, I'm sure I could name one or two that are bad if I... Do it. I don't have any off the tip of my tongue, but, I mean, I'd have to... If I lived in the UK for two straight years, I'd probably come up with three people. A couple. You're a big Churchill fan, though. Have you done comedy there?

We did for the first time. I did. We played, Bobby and I did a bad friend's show there, and we toured, and we played the Ovo-Wembley. Wembley arena, but indoors. The outdoor arena was being occupied by Oasis. That's why we couldn't get to it. Yeah. We were just competing acts.

Can we have that room that Oasis is playing it? Yeah, Oasis. Yeah, could you have them... We played their dressing room is what we played. How big was the place you played? 12? I don't know. How was it? It was about 10,000? 10,000 people? Holy shit. I know, I know.

It's pretty crazy. Were you nervous? No. Really? No, because it's... I don't know. Oh, because they're super fans. Well, yeah, but also like, I had opened for other people in arenas before. And so once you get over arena nerves, you're like, this is fine.

This is like fieldhouse size or whatever. Right. It's still, it's a shitload of people, but arenas were more daunting. Like, the first arena I did, I was like, this is fucking daunting. It's insane, right? Yeah, very daunting. Like, I've done three or four with Shane, with Gillis, and then before that, Rogan, I opened for him in a couple of big theaters and field house and arenas. And that was, that's a wild.

That's insane. Yeah. It's a little, I'm not, I'm much better in a, tighter room. Also, the round is not my favorite. No? I like a stage facing the humans. I don't want to, I'm thinking about looking the other way a lot and I'm like, should I turn around? Do you know the secret to theater in the round is playing your back towards like the far end? I don't, I would need to do this facial. Like you have your round stage. Yeah. You're over here and you're playing

all these people and then you mix it up, you walk to the other side and played all these people. Yeah. Does that make sense? No. Okay. Well, I'm sure you did fine. I did okay. Yeah, yeah, it was fine. I just wanted to seem like I really knew some shit. Yeah, it did sound like you sold me for a beat, and then I thought, no, this guy doesn't be selling wingdings. You did the Den Theater. How many shows did you film?

Two. And did you use only one, or did you mix? I mixed. Yeah, isn't that a fun secret? A lot of people think it's just one show. Oh, really? I think audiences are keen to it now, but for years, not like it was a secret, but like some,

I guess a lot of comics didn't want to say that they would mix. They'd be like, no, we filmed one show. One of the worst experiences in life is editing a special. Oh, my God. Watching yourself? Yeah, it's brutal. How repulsive. Yeah.

I hate it more than anything. I mean, this is the first time in this last special I did. I gave it to our editor, Kelly, who was incredible, and I was like, she's like, do you want to walk through it? I was like, can you just do the thing? Really? I wish I had someone who could. I mean, they probably could, but I know.

She's brilliant. I know they would think, I would just, I couldn't trust anyone to do it. She made me marginally funny, and I was like, This is really good. She made you marginally. Well, because it was, you know, I don't think I... So it's like a 10-minute special? I think it's like 12.5 or 13, just under...

Yeah, just under 15. Where did you film? I filmed mine in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Minnesota. Where? The Pantagious Theater. Okay. That's pretty big, right?

Yeah, maybe like 2000. I don't really, no. Yeah, 2000, something like that. And I think we cut it down to like 1,600 a show, or something like that. Something like that. It was good, but I did a bunch of shows. I also did it on the weekend that Shane Gillis played the basketball arena, and Kevin Hart played a field house.

So good job by my agents, I always say that. Great job, guys. They're really putting in the effort. It's not that hard, guys, to find the routing. But you have different fan bases, right? Kevin Hart and I have the exact same fan base. No, Gillis and I have a lot of overlap, I would argue. Like, if there's people that are going to see me or Shane Gillis,

they're probably going to see Shane Gillis. but I mean if they're like Shane sold out, I'll just go see this idiot. If I were in that situation, I would pay any price to see Shane over you. Yeah, me too. Me too. And they do. I would have like $3,000 cash. Who's got a ticket?

This is for one ticket. Anywhere in the arena. I had people come just for my opening act and leave when I came on, you know? Who was your opening act? Zach Townsend? Do you know who that is? Country music star? Yeah.

Is he really? Yeah, and he just transitioned. Yeah, he was doing rap. He did the reverse post Malone. He started with rap, and now he's doing country. He's kind of like Kid Rock. You should have Kid Rock just canceled the shows in New York City, man. What happened?

Because we have a socialist. Is that city too gay for him? I'm not playing gay New York! Is that really what is? It was already like 10 TikTok videos I've seen. We're like, and they had to refund 12 ticket holders. I mean, that was funny, the first person to do it. Yeah, and then 50 people do it.

Is this mine? No, no, that's for you to feel. Yes, of course. Oh, shit. It's a game changer. Glass water? Water and a bottle. You know who loved Mountain Valley water?

Who? Elvis Presley. Really? That was one of the only things we learned in his rider was bottles. He wanted a box of Mountain Valley water, glass bottled water. He loved it. I think it does taste different. That's pretty good.

Glass water, for some reason, it just tastes so much better. I heard a thing about Elvis Presley. You know the way they always said Elvis has left the building? Yeah. I heard they used to say that regardless of whether he'd left the building. Like he was still in the building. Elvis was left in the building. But they wink and you can hear the wink.

That's winking at Elvis. Yeah. No one knows. You're fine. Yeah, we went to Grace. Have you ever been to Graceland? I did. And it was kind of...

Say it. No, not a bad thing. But I was surprised how small the house was. It's a very big house by my standard. Yeah, for a guy of that... Yeah, it was manageable. Yeah. I could easily buy it and live there

without having to worry about getting too many sofos and beds and stuff. Well, it's already got all the furniture there. Yeah. And you can't go upstairs. They didn't let you upstairs? We weren't allowed, right? Didn't you go with me on that trip?

No, we weren't allowed to go upstairs. It was something like that was the only, because I was his master bedroom. That was the only restricted area. And the only reason anyone's ever been in that room since his death was they had a roof leak. And they had like special admissions for a contractor to go, look.

But it was very like, only this one man can go in and look, and then he has to come out and assess it, and then they had to... I wonder why that is. I think probably the Presley estate didn't want humans rummaging through the place that he died. They wanted to keep it kind of like a sacred place. Okay. Which we're planning for you as well.

What's that? We're marking off the places we think you're going to die. We want to hold them as sacred. Please, do. Let me know when that's going to happen. Drolling, thinking about it. Well, you're in my death pool. You know, we have a death pool. No.

Yeah, you're in mine. Am I really? Yeah, you're in mine. But no, no, no, we pick the horses way before. You want to pick them when they're new, you know? So you're a young horse, but I've got you. Well, on that note, do you know what happened to me last time I was in Los Angeles? Huh.

I was walking at Silver Lake, walking down a hill. And my feet started walking by themselves a little bit and then started running by themselves. Five broken ribs. Seriously? Yeah. Well, you fell face first. I wiped out. Yeah.

Just on a walk, on a brisk walk. But it was a steep hill. It was steep for me, for this old man. But yeah, I was in the hospitals, in the... Five broken ribs? Six nights in the hospital. Wow. You're not an old man.

No, I'm 25. Yeah. We said 35 when we started. Oh, I said 35? Yeah. If I'm going to... But you just spilled on a walk, huh? Yeah.

Good God. Yeah. So now you don't visit Silver Lake any longer, do you? I thought of getting the same Airbnb, which it wasn't available, but then I was like, man, that would be kind of. of revisiting a trauma. Yeah, I mean, it was six nights. It's a hospital, man. Six nights?

Six nights. That fucking, is that one night per rib and then a Hollywood Presbyterian, which I think is not maybe the best hospital? Is it not? I don't know. It's a bad hospital. That's the one where I brought Carlos.

Oh, it's a bad hospital, yeah. It's bad. You got to go, well, I mean, did they help you? They took care, but it was just very like, you know, it was, I was sharing a room. There was no, um, private room. No curtain or anything? There's just like a sheet.

Yeah. So if that guy's snoring, yelling, this one guy next to me had like his he's had some I don't know what you call him attached to his arm and every time he rolled over it would start beeping and then I'd have to go

you know I can't sleep it's already shady to be here but now I can't sleep and yeah what do they do for broken ribs anyway they don't really do anything that they heal on their own yeah I guess they were watching me or worried about my lung but I don't know

because afterwards like why was I there for six fucking nights I mean maybe just to manage the pain with some morphine and stuff? Or increase your hospital, Bill. They just wanted to... Hey, I don't believe that, yeah. No, you're right. Way, it's cynical.

Well, let's... Did you get a bit out of it? I did get a little bit of a bit. Yeah, so it's worth it. It's worth six nights in hospital for 40 new seconds in my... The fall must have been bad. Was it embarrassing or just...

It was more frightening. Frightening. Because people... There were some people outside and like three different sets of people came over and this woman was like, I'm calling urgent care. I'm calling emergency rooms.

And she took me to the emergency room. Didn't know her at all. That was sweet. Yeah, it was very sweet. Did you connect with her again ever? I did. I hooked her up with a Little Dom's gift card. Oh, Little Domes is great.

That's right. Did you ever go to the original, to Dominics? No. One of my favorites, man. Google up Dominics, Los Angeles. Historic place. Shut down many, many moons ago. That was one of my favorite places to go to.

Dominics with a K? Dominics. I was behind the hospital. That's a hospital should have gone to. Cedars, yeah. That's what I want to say. Yeah, I should have gone to Cedars.

It closed in 2015. 2015. After 67 years. After 67 years, did it say why it closed down? The rumor was that there was, so there was two owners, and one of them opened Little Doms on the east side. And then the other one, the rumor I heard was wanted to open one in Ohio. And then they moved and they got in a little bit of, you know, as partners do,

a tiff over who does what, where or what. And they just sold the place and then closed it down. I just said they declined to state exactly why they closed the rest of it. So what I said was exactly true. It's your job to get that answer to them. Yeah. It had been a fight, an in-fight between the two owners. That was the rumor I had heard.

But I used to go there all the time. Anybody, if somebody came into town, that for me was a fancy place to take them. Because it wasn't. When did it go under? 2015. Okay. But it wasn't like, because I can never afford like a fancy restaurant then. So that was nice enough, but it wasn't overpriced food.

Like it was like, my dad would go, oh, this is pretty good. Yeah. Good. Look. You're solid. You're doing okay. Yeah. Because we don't have that. New York has that in spades. You guys have, you know, it's a nice restaurant, but it's not overpriced. But the atmosphere is nice. Here, it's either like Chipotle or a fucking nightclub. Yeah. Everything here is, it's either like all of the pomp and circumstance or a regular run of the mill, grab your food and go. What do you think about Airwam? I have never purchased. I've never been there as a, I've walked in it to see. it, but I've never like... The one in Silver Lake? No, there's one here in the Valley.

Okay. Yeah, but I'm not interested, really. I think, I mean, they're kind of brilliant because they, like, their angle is, our stuff is hilariously overpriced. Where you're like, everyone's, I just made $16 for the smoothie. It's like a bit. But they're so nice. Everyone, they're so nice. Well, they should be.

They're getting, I think they make a hundred bucks an hour to work there. The employees, no, I have no fucking idea. But they, no, you can, they're still ripping them off. I'm sure the smoothies are $85. The employees are still getting, you know, minimum wage. eat out a lot? You could ask my wife. I do. Yes, too much. We don't, yeah, I don't, we don't have kids, so we don't cook. Right. She cooks sometimes. She cooks, actually, I should give her credit. She does. But I'd

rather just order it. I don't know. Yeah. I'm, what is it? I'm stimulating the economy. Oh, I know that's your motivation. Yeah. You'd love to roast a whole chicken and side orders and all that, but yeah, I like to stimulate the economy. In fact, I just, the hotel I stayed at in Tempe, had a great restaurant, or in Scottsdale, and I went there every day for dinner because I was like, why leave? It's great. Yeah, you can get in a car and drive around in Scotland?

No, see, and I think people don't get that when you're like on the road. You're like, I'd like to find a place where if I can get all the meals here, this is great. I don't want to like dart around to try to find the best version of a, not interested.

Do you hang in the hotel or do you? No, I'm a go-go. I'm a go-go guy. I don't want to stay. Like, the hotels are sad, enough. It's already not home. Yeah. So I like to go. I mean, I play golf, so I like to golf during the day if it's nice weather or go somewhere, try to meet up with someone, right, or the opener and I will go do something, like find anything to get into. Yeah, I'm the same way. I've never like,

like why be on tour if you're not going to check out the city? Yeah, I mean, even if it seems like a boring city, find the non-boring part. I've, I've, or attempt to. But I found that a lot of even the boring cities, I find something kind of interesting because they're boring. You're like, this is kind of fun for this place. Yeah. Most boring city on tour is? I don't know that I have a... It's kind of a negative angle. But I don't know.

I know. I'm setting you up for failure. I'm trying to think what's... Well, I mean, I don't like Atlantic City. I wouldn't call it boring. I would call it. It's right. It's a little rough.

But it's not a city. You know what I mean? That's like a theme park. Okay. You get in and you get out. I used to have trouble finding something to do in Cincinnati, but I think the last time was there, I found something to do,

but I forgot what it was. What is it called? Skyline Chili. Is that with that? Isn't that they're famous for that? In Cincinnati? Yeah, isn't that what it is? Do you know Skyline Chile?

Yeah, I've had that. Yeah. We have a version here, deep in the valley in Burbank. It's called Chili Johns. That's good. Yeah, Chili Johns is good. That's really good. Yeah, that's kind of, that's LA's version of Skyline chili.

Is it still open? It is. Is it on spaghetti? Yeah, it's on spaghetti. Piscetti, as you say. I never had on spaghetti. It's how kids say it, Piscetti. But it's good.

Oh, it's the best. There was a place. It's thicker than Cincinnati Chili. It's got to be. Yeah. Yeah, it's got to be. Cincinnati chili is very like soupy. It's like...

Yeah, yeah. And sweet. There was a place, look this up, there was a place by Marquette's campus in Milwaukee that I used to call chili and such, but that was not the name. But I just like to call it chili and such because it was chili and such.

I mean, that was kind of like, but it's same thing. It was a bowl of pasta with chili. Real chili? Real chili. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. I don't, I don't think I've ever had the pasta with the chili.

Seriously? I think I just go straight chili. Oh, my brother. You got to get yourself some spaghetti with chili. It's it looks repulsive and it's so delicious. I mean, aesthetically, it's a very ugly dish.

It's like on, it looks like unflavored or seasoned noodles and chili just guffed on there with cheese and all the goods, man. Do you get, how do you handle late night food when you're in us? I mean, I try

to not if I can help it. But if I do eat something late after shows, I eat something that I know isn't going to make me poop at 4.30, you know. I try to get something and I go, this can, this is good, this is fine. I'm not going to have an upset stomach in the middle of the night. Right. What do you do? I mean, I've done a few matinee shows lately. Like 4 p.ms? I did, I had to keep rescheduling Florida because of COVID and then, uh, there was a hurricane. And then all that was left when I was trying around because you want to try doing a couple of side spliters in Tampa. Uh-huh.

I want to try doing a couple of matinees. Sure. Fucking great. shows. Yeah. And 6.30, you're done. Nice. A real dinner. You're not going to go anywhere. Yeah, it's great.

The matinees are actually really good. Yeah, I mean, it sounds like, because like matinees on Broadway are kind of like, they're a little, they can be a little rough sometimes. Just like the energy and the crowd is very old. I hate low energy. That should be the name of your next special. I hate low energy. That is good.

Yeah, I hate low energy. Now, matinees are tough unless your audience. I mean, Bargazzi does those. He, like, he'll play three. three shows. He'll do like a four, six, and eight or something. I mean, that's, that's impressive to push out that kind of stuff. But matinees daunting as a comic, because you're like, it's daylight. Yeah, but these, these ones at Tampa were great. They were, is you going to be a matinee guy? Mr. Matinee. Hey, I'm Mr. Three o'clock show. And a five o'clock if you're really

crazy. But, uh, yeah. I'm stupid. What is the matinee? What's the, what's the, what's the etymology of matinee. What does that come from? The word matinee. I think we're going to find out momentarily. Do you know? No. Yeah. See, I like that. You don't know. It's a French word, and I guess is on what it is. Matinee means, it's a French word that means before dinner.

Go ahead. Oh, I'm supposed to guess? Yeah, that's half of the fun. Yeah. Okay. I don't, I never thought about it. Well. And I'm on the spot with all these cats. Cameron.

Matinee. What was your guess? Before dinner. Before dinner. A thing that happens prior to dinner. Oh, I think that's a good guess. Yeah. I'm going to guess the same thing. Good, good guess.

It means morning. Morning. Yeah. Yeah, see, once again... That's not even accurate, though. Yeah, that's very inaccurate. Matinees happened afternoon. Always.

What is the word afternoon in French? Look that up. You're going around a about way of... We're going to rename it. Yeah. We're going to rename it. I'm going to find some sort of combination. The word, oh, he's going to try it.

A pre-s-medie? Epres me-die. Yeah, apre mede. But you have to say one word. You can't go, come. What? That's what it says. Do it again?

A pre-medie. E pre-medie. Have you played France? I have. I was about to ask you that. Never. Really? Go to Paris.

I want to. I've only played, we only did London and Dublin are the only two European cities. I mean, I guess it's not European, but we also did Australia and New Zealand. Not the same thing. at all, man. There's literal other side of the world. In fact, you can't get any further without coming back. It's not here though.

I know what you mean. You're... Australians are like the Europeans of the ocean. Yeah. Yeah, I understand. Yeah, just do fucking Paris, do Amsterdam. I do want to do that, because I went to Amsterdam once. I do want to go back and do shows.

Go to Copenhagen, Denmark, Stockholm. I don't really... Hamburg, Germany, Berlin. Hamburg and Berlin, I'll do. You don't want to go to Stockholm? No, just because the name association scares me a little bit. Of the syndrome? Yeah, I don't want to get involved with that, you know.

I wonder how many tourists they lose every year because they're like, that's where the syndrome came from. It is a weird name association when you hear Stockholm, you go, Stockholm Syndrome. Yeah. Does any other city have that attached to it? There's a... Like Boston racism, is that one? Do they have one? Boston City.

No other city has an association like that that I can think of. Boston Syndrome. Boston Syndrome. That's what I meant to say. Yeah, I heard it in my head. I saw you do it. Well, we just edit it, so it said right thing. Oh, yeah, you're going to be doing a lot editing on this one.

No editing needed. Go back. How long's your special? 16 or 17 full minutes. It was no, it was 56, I think, something like that. Shade under an hour. What did you do? I did 50, but I wish I would have cut out another 5 at least.

Because I don't think anyone gives a fuck. There's no stigma, but they're not doing an hour anymore. No, I think 50s. This is not going to watch the full thing anyway. 45 is actually sounds much more appealing. Yeah. Well, 45 used to be the number that old hour specials were on TV.

It used to be the, I mean, I guess it's still the club comedy club standard, right? 45? Yeah. What do you, is that how long you do when you're on stage? Somebody freeze frame it when he drank that. I always feel, uh. Send me that photo.

I always feel like I'm short-changing them if I do 45. I do an hour just because, yeah, I feel like I'm supposed to. But lately I've been shooting for 50 and then I usually go over. But I mean, 50 minutes of listening to me is probably, I think any comic really. Why be self-deprily?

educating. Even you. I was like, I get it. Well, people don't want to hear me. They want to look at me, but they want to hear you. So if I could have your demeanor, we would be a home run. We should do a thing where we toured together. You're out front, I'm behind the curtain. Mouthing, and I'm mouthing the words. God, I love that.

Singing in the rain. That would be funny if we really followed through on that. I actually would love to do that. Called our respective ages. Here's what you're booking now. I'm going to be behind a curtain the entire time. Andrew Barry? Oh, that's my middle name, by the way.

Well, then we're... Dude, this is already meant to be. This is written in the stars. If we're going to do it based on that, then I should get two-thirds of the money. Well, it's based more on who needs it. Then I should get all the 100% of the door. You like that?

Yeah, man. I gave you an alley-up there, babe. Are you a sports fan at all? No, but I've been watching clips that are showing up in my little algorithm. Mm-hmm. And I like watching. like baseball catches and

I love buzzer beaters and basketball. Love that. I like the big moments. And I went to with Samarillo. I went to a... A Knicks game? No, a WNBA game. What is that?

Women's basketball. What is that? What is women's basketball? It's right there in the, what I, description. Yeah, he's a big supporter. Well, he's a diehard Knicks fan, too. But he got us in like, these were like VIP.

Floor seats? There was a buffet and... Oh, yeah. Yeah, floor seats. We were right behind the other team, which I forgot. their name, but it's kind of cool. They're called the other team, I think.

I mean, it depends on how much specificity. Liberty. Liberty, and I don't remember who it was. I can name a few. I made a joke at the beginning, but I really am a big WNBA fan. Are you? Hardcore. No, I do. I know them all.

Indiana fever? No, it wasn't them. Chicago Sky. I don't think it was them. Are you guys the Lynx? Minnesota Links. Damn right. Like, I can knock out a few. I'm pretty impressed.

Seattle. Seattle Storm? Washington. Washington. I'm worried that even if you get it, I'm not going to remember. You won't. Or no. You won't know if I'm lying. But luckily, it's completely unimportant that I remember this detail.

The Washington Assassinations? Mystics. Oh, the Mystics, yeah. Phoenix. The Phoenix. Mystics. The Phoenix has got to be called the Mercury. You're right.

Isn't this good? I'm pretty good. This is good. As far as things that you're going to definitely cut out, this is pretty good. So you went with Samarrel, but you enjoyed it. Did you enjoy the W. Yeah, I had a great time, yeah. And it was also VI, I like VIP. Well, that's really what it is. You're the fancy guy. People think you're this humble, sweet guy. And no one knows. This guy's a private jet stretch limo guy, which is very outdated. But he'll take, he'll request from the club. He'll go, I need to be picked up on a stretch limo. In front of the, I think it was the comedy store last night. There was one of these ridiculous. Party bus. Double-level white limo.

So stupid. Yeah. And who got out of it? The coolest people ever. I thought it'd be cool. If a comic did that, I would think that's funny. Like if that was a bit to show up in that, that would be very fun. Do you know John Schrader, Tall John, they call him?

He writes on Bob's Burgers. It sounds familiar. He's six foot ten. Yeah. But he, I was joking with him once when I was here in Nella, I go, I asked him for a ride to the airport. And he said, I couldn't go. I will just get me a stretch limo. Anyway, the next morning I wake up, there's a fucking white,

ridiculously stretched limel. Just as a goof, he fucking went ahead and booked it. Wasn't even there that seemed my reaction, but I was mortified. Like, riding this thing to the airport, you're like, yeah, here's good. I'm 20 minutes from my game, but it's fine. You want to let me off before we actually get into LAX? I'll just walk it out.

That's some serious fuck you money when you can do that for practical job. Bob's Burgers? That's a successful show. Yeah, I'm sure he does. You get on those things, you know? I'm on those things. I know. But I mean, he's a writer. Yeah, he makes more than I. Yeah, he's like a talented guy. I'll just bring you in there. I'm just bring you in there. I'm than I'm sorry I'm sorry about that what do you mean you're like the voiceover guy you get

more working voiceover we actually talked he jokingly you know he read for the bad friends animated show oh I did doesn't even exist so you know it would have been nice to get paid and then have it not exist it doesn't mean that it won't happen but we still don't know did someone pass on it no no it's it's uh Hulu owns it I mean we just haven't gotten a green light to do it okay development hell we're in development uh in the world pool of development just waiting for someone to go okay how long's it been now a year well prepare yourself because it's not happening really shit how long did they keep people waiting for that you know we actually turned it in in july and their the end of the year was kind of a cutoff point for them to make the decision

so we'll see yeah and i'll see on set if i get the well i won't see on set man it's a voiceover thing so you'll be in a booth wow mr literal well it doesn't get jokes well it's only because i don't want to see you on set. There is no set. I keep telling you this. You call, where's the set? There is no set. Do you record from home when you do V-O?

Or do you go to a booth? I have. I like it at the house. I mean, I like going to the studio because I think I lost my microphone. They Bob's Berger's got me a microphone. Yeah. And I don't know where it is when I moved.

I lost it. Take one of these before you go. Can I grab one of these? Same thing. I can grab that tripod as well. We got a hundred of them in here laying around somewhere. But, I mean, I do like the car. I remember once, one of the last ones I did is for Bob's burgers,

and they sent me my schedule, and the session was 12.50 to 1 p.m. Yeah. Perfect. I think I can do that. I can knock it out. Oh, yeah. That's easy. At a million dollars an episode.

You're only getting a million? Yeah. God, that's nothing. Damn. Fuck. How much do you get for Los Enchaladas? Yeah. Oh, man.

I think Mitch bought me some chicken fingers. That's nice. I don't think he paid. I don't remember getting paid, but. Where did you guys all stay? I'm from Minnesota, and I just love. of Minnesota shit, and I know you guys

that was shot there. I forgot where we stayed, but we filmed, that hotel we filmed at was like, we had to step aside so they could let people check in. It's the guerrilla shit, man.

Yeah. It's like when I did The Wrestler and we filmed in a supermarket. Yeah. And it was a live supermarket. Yeah, and it was open. Or that Louis short where you guys were on the Staten Island ferry.

Yeah. God. You didn't get permission from Colin Joe, or Pete Davidson to film on the ferry. They had to both sign off on it. They still own that, don't they?

Anything Staten Island related. They do. What did they buy a boat? They own the Staten Island ferry. Really? Yeah, they bought it years ago, right? Together? I didn't know you could...

That's a private entity? Well, I think the city sold it off. I think it wasn't... It was probably hemorrhaging money and they were like, here, just someone else want it? It's still hemorrhaging money. Yeah, sure.

Pete just went on a weekend update like a week ago and talked about it. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. Oh. Well, you know, this is a... Here's a dumb New York fact. You know why many of the train lines in New York run the same route for an extended period of time.

You know why? Why wouldn't that? Well, I mean, there's multiple lines that go to multiple stops for an extended period of time when they could have broken them off, but they were all independently owned lines. Oh. They were owned by different companies, and then the New York Transit bought them back because it was avoiding a monopoly. Wow. Because people would take one line for cheaper, and why would they go to the other line? So there was, like, you had a choice?

Yeah, you had a choice. I never knew that. Yeah. It's something I learned. Mr. New York, and I don't know that. Do they still call you Mr. New York? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we gotta strip that title away.

Now, people, again, this is another fact that people don't know, is you were appointed recently the special advisor to Mamdani, which is kind of cool. Are you on call? I just said, keep smiling, man. You got a good smile. You're a young man. Keep smiling. You smile it every time you talk.

The kids got a great smile, huh? Yeah, I mean, I voted for him. I don't, with not much information. They let you vote. They do. Huh. I just turned 18. I just turned 18.

It's one of the first things I wanted to do. You voted for him and why, just I want your reasoning. We won't get into politics, but why did you like him? I just, I mean, the honest answers, I just, I think this is all I'm supposed to vote for. Oh, right, right. I mean, I don't think I love Cuomo very much. kind of questionable. And the other guy, Curtis Slewa,

although he's a fellow cat owner. I don't know, I just didn't. He seemed like an interesting cat, that guy. Sliwa, is that what it was? Yeah. Yeah, I saw videos of him online, and they really tried to defame that guy pretty hard on the internet.

They wanted to, like, did he do anything wrong? Why was there so much negativity around that guy? I think he's just like an insane character. So what? That's great. I think a lot of people liked him, but they also recognized that they don't want to, like, they don't want to, uh, what's the Alaska lady.

They didn't want to make it like... Sarah Palin. They didn't want people to like him so much that they would vote for him. I think they like to recognize that he's a crazy person. What's she doing now? She's still looking at Russia from her front porch.

That was one of the funniest quotes on earth. I can see Russia from my front porch. As if this was this insane, powerful statement. It's like, what are you talking about? But only you can see that? Yeah. I can see Russia from my... If you sat next to me on the porch, you would not see it.

Hey, we're going... It's never too late to do some Palin' stuff. right? Yeah, let's not. Let's not. How many young kids are like, who in the fuck are they talking about? I was going to say they're all Googling it.

They don't even care enough to Google. They, they chat GPT everything. They don't even have the time. Are you AI guy or no? I had a show that I was advertising and I never really tried very hard to make something on chat GPT

and I just put it something in. I was like, oh shit, this is kind of, it's pretty good. Looks good and then people got mad at me. Well, yeah. Which I understand. Because I always, I hire lots of artists.

Yeah, it's good. In my past, I've hired lots of artists. And on my latest tours, I have one. Yeah, you shouldn't use it. But it is, it's kind of like porn. You're like, I'm going to look at it alone in my house and be happy, but I can't tell people what I'm looking at. I think if it's like, for the sorts of images,

you know, just a list of cities I'm going to play, I think I could do that. Oh, no, people still get mad at you, man. And just do plain blue background or any color. But then you could just do that. I do with chat cheap. No, yeah, you could do it without it. See, I think that's a art.

I have canvas subscription also. Canvas? Canva. What's Canva? Canva. It's like a graphic design website. Oh. Stealing more work from artists, I say? Yeah. No, he is the graphic design.

I know, dude. That's my new job, man. I should be better about getting artists to make stuff. I just don't really post. I just do, like, I'll just throw it up there and write. Come here, please. I mean, some people don't need fancy. That's a nice poster in the back that I'm looking at.

Yeah, that's a beautiful poster. Right. That's really good. Yeah, some of those are really rad. You get, you get, we get, we. We have some fan art that people created for bad friends a lot that are just incredible artists. But then I always feel like I, I don't know. There's something embarrassing about promotion.

And it shouldn't be, because it's like, please come see me. Well, I mean, there's comedians who I, when I think of them, I think of their promotion. Go ahead and name them. Oh, no, I'm not going to, of course I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to slag anyone. I'll slag somebody. You know who's a real promotional whore? someone who's like just repulsive about it

Dave Attell this guy never stops promoting is he never not selling something he's got a Reebok shoe deal now this guy it'd be really funny to see Atel do like a 180 commercial for a couriered by Mario or something I'm struggling at the thing

I saw you fishing I saw you fishing he's like that notorious he to me is just like he is a comedic masterpiece and just move seamlessly in his own way and it's kind of cool to

it's I'm a fan but also like admire him too it's like he does very well but it's also seems underappreciated but tremendously so well I mean in the comedy world I would argue comedy fans are very in tune with how yeah he's a badass yeah he's the fucking man

but right I think in the in the bigger scale of what the internet has done for comedy. I believe many young people perhaps don't really know who that is. Did you ever start with someone that you thought for sure was going to make it and didn't, or vice versa? Someone you were like, you. Thank you. Imagine if we started together when I was... All right, don't go.

All right. See? He punches, I punch. I won't say that there was someone... There are people who had their little moments in the sun. Yeah. We're like, they got a development deal, or they got a pilot. That was a big deal back then.

Yeah, and they thought, you know, probably justifiably thought they were on easy street, but then pilot doesn't go, and then they're fucking at the comic strip getting there at $15 or whatever. Right. Who is your oldest friend in comedy that you still consider, like, a close friend? As a guy started with in Florida named Tom Ryan. Tom Ryan. Is he still in Florida? No, he's in New York.

He's watching my cat, actually. Oh, yes. Say how to Tom. Hey, Tom. Shout out to Tom. Is he still doing stand-up? Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

But, I mean, Sarah, I've known Sarah a long time, Sarah Silverman. Really? Like pre-fame. Yeah. She's famous. Yeah, she's as famous as me and maybe definitely you. She's more famous than me for sure. Yeah, that's a fact.

What about you? My oldest friend of comedy is Fahim Anwar. Do you know him? I just worked with him the past couple of days. He's my... He's very funny. He's one of the funniest guys, I know. He's my oldest friend.

We met. We're kind of starting out together. When he was a engineer for Boeing. Jesus. Yeah, it's that kind of wild. He worked for Boeing up until... I think he got a TV credit. Like, he was still working for Boeing.

He had this guilt from his parents. He couldn't... He's not have a job. Yeah, I'm just like, what are you chasing this bullshit dream? You know, and he just had this... And they're right. But it's like, I think he just had... He held that...

for longer than he needed to because he's very talented guy. Yeah. But it just sucks that like when people, I'm lucky, my parents, I'm an idiot. So my parents were like, good luck at whatever. You're fucking, we can't believe you can still breathe and walk. Like that, I do think my parents are like remarkably supportive because I don't, I was like, I don't know what I can do. I know I love this thing.

This is the only thing I know I think I can do. So I was like, I have to try this. Yeah, it always bugged me when I'd meet someone who like, my parents will pay for my college, but not if I major in theater. It's like, who gives a fucking kid do what the fuck they want and still pay for it. Yeah. If you're willing to pay for it, you shouldn't be like, if you're going to do something, you can major in something you don't want to major and we'll pay for it.

It's like buying someone a meal they hate. It's like, here's a meal that I like and I'm ready to eat if you don't eat it. Let's think of 20 more of those. Yeah. Let's go. Keep going. McCone, throwing one. Don't do it, please.

Yeah, I don't understand that. I was very lucky to have supportive parents that, you know, but my parents were very blunt about it. Like, I don't know how it was when you first started, but like, you know, they were like, I'm not going to give you any fucking money and we're definitely not going to be like a safety net, but like fly for, go do it, go get a day job and then go try it. But what kind of business are they in if I'm asked? Well, but they're both long since retired. My mom, my dad was in sales.

He was just a, he worked for turtle wax. You know, turtle wax? I haven't thought about that. Yeah. Well, they burned out for a reason. Okay. People don't wash their cars anymore. Oh, should they go to car wash?

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, but the old days of like the 70s of people like hand washing in their driveway, those are days or dead. Really? Well, they slowly kind of petered out in like the late 90s, early 2000s. People, people took, I mean, I'm a car guy, so it's like very reflective of the industry. People, people, cars were being made less carefully and specially and kind of more production line. slopped together plastic chunks of

for economic purposes and so people had less pride in their vehicle I think like when you bought a car 50 years ago you like really gave a shit about that car now nobody gives a fuck about their car unless you're a car person which is a very small

in what sense are you a car person you have multiple cars no someone that really like it loves like most what I'm trying to say is a lot of friends that I have it's a thing to get from A to B they couldn't care less what it is that's kind of the way I am right so that's you're the most of the you're the majority now but i do think 50 60 years ago that wasn't a lot of you because you've

bought a car you kind of had pride in it because it's an expensive thing and they were made very well and there was things about it that kind of had some americana maybe that's all very carrowacky like this is my i can go anywhere in this thing it's a freedom it's a piece of freedom and now it's like it's just getting me to my fucking job and now or even more severe than that don't even rent a car when you come to l a yeah you took a newber right so you couldn't care wasn't the right word there but no but i but i but i but i but i but I just like cars. I love the design aspects. I love... I love the power of... I can think of two cars I like. What are they?

I like these jeeps I've been seeing. Like a, like what do we tell? Like a... It's kind of like a bigger Jeep, it seems like... Like the largest version? Perhaps. The wagoneer is what it's called? It's cool looking. That's the biggest one. They're bigger than the average Jeep Grand Chair. And I like these fiatts. These kind of small... The little tiny ones. You've gone from both ends of the scale. I mean, maybe I'll just buy one of each, right? You've got it like that. You keep doing mad maze, kids. I can be up all night. I can be up all night. I can be up. all night going, should I get that one or that one? Fucking get them both, man. I have fuck you money, man. I'm going to buy two cars and never drive them, man.

You have fuck, comma, you money. I mean, I do have a garage. Do you have a garage? No, I'm just... Oh, I was like, holy shit, that would build my mom. That's what Seinfeld has. He does for all his cars. And you and Seinfeld are best, best friends. You're super tight. You guys are tight. You guys are good pals. Have you ever

been in contact with Seinfeld, or you guys have any relationship whatsoever? Well, here's where you didn't do your research. I was on a comedian and cars. Oh, that's right. You did. The most polarizing episode ever.

I'm polarizing, you mean in what way? You can look up polarizing later, but... Well, he has to do it for me. Just either people like, you're the most shittiest guest ever. Shittiest?

Yeah, and then I had a woman I was eating alone in New Orleans and this waitress other side of the fucking restaurant, beelines over, and she was, your episode of Comedians and Cars

was my favorite. I was like, yeah, that's cool. Fucking, that made up. Well, I do remember your episode. You, right, you talked about living in your car and getting set to the laugh factory. I remember that.

Getting sent to the laugh factory. Are you joking? You're not Tiffany Haddish? That episode I like. Have you ever had someone do that where they like? You know what episode I like? I like the other one. Oh, well, yeah.

Or somebody goes, Todd, do you know this comedian? Yeah, I know. Oh, I love that guy. You're like, okay. Well, my wife hates you, but I think I'm fucking amazing. Hey, here's a new way you could have said that. Yeah. You're amazing.

I like you. Yeah, that's all I need to hear. Or I get, I get sometimes, I get someone, hey, can I get a photo? And as we're taking a picture, they go, I'm not a fan, but my buddy loves you. I'm like, okay. I've had that. That hurts my feeling. We're like sitting at a restaurant.

This one walks up. She goes, my boyfriend's fan ears. And they sit down and like, go be with your boyfriend. Or send him over. Get him here. Get the fan over here. He's like, hey, I'll talk to him if you won't. Okay. I'll know him if you won't.

But how often you get recognized? Every day? Pretty much, yeah. I would say every day probably. And not, L.A. is great because home nobody gives a shit. It's great. It's like New York. No one gives a fuck about you in New York.

It's wonderful. Well, no, no, no, I'm saying you. I mean you, not the Royal You. I was literal. No, I think nobody. I think New York and L.A. are cities that kind of are So people don't really care. But when you go to another city, they're surprised.

They always, what are you doing here? Yeah. Well, that's if you have a poorly promoted show. Yeah. What are you doing here? I'm doing a show at the place we're at right now. I've had, and I mean, that's frustrating. We're like, what do you do to town?

I just did a show in the next building over. I'm right there, right now. I'm a huge fan. What are you doing in my city? I'm a huge fan. We signed 30 of the exact headshots. I got in an elevator last night going back up to my hotel room And one girl's, I was holding a bag.

And she was like, ooh, what's in the bag? And I said, it's none of your business. And they were being flirting and fun. And I was tired. Yeah. And then she goes, oh, okay, what are you doing here? Because they were going to like a bar at the roof. And I was going to my room.

And I said, I'm in town for work. And I'm in a girl goes, what do you do? And I said, finance. And the girl went, boo. And I loved that. I thought that was so funny. Boo, in my face. It was fucking awesome.

I was like, good on this girl. What do you think she did, though? So she didn't recognize you, though. Huh? She clearly didn't recognize you if she asked. No, she didn't know who I was. It was great. That's what I'm saying.

Yeah, she was not. They were drunk going up to a bar younger. What city was this? Phoenix. What hotel was it? The Remy. Oh. Yeah.

Nice. Yeah. Was it a corporate gig or something? No, I was doing the Tempe improv. Okay. Okay. Yeah. You played there?

Yeah, yeah, a bunch of a few times. I went to school there. Really? Harvard of the West. Arizona State, that's what they say. Is that in Tempe? Tempe? Right next day.

Where the improv is is literally on the corner of the campus. That club is huge. No, is it? No, 260. It's like 400 or something. No, I don't think it's that many. Tempe. Look it up, look it up.

I think it's at least 425. There's no way. Hold on. I mean, maybe that was 160 was your attendance, but. Oh, I sold out five shows. Okay, it is, I'll tell you right now. It is $400. 400.

All right. I won that one. Sold out five shows. Well, I won that one. Because you sold out five shows. Over 450. Wow. Now he's...

450. Oh, okay. So it's more people. That's what it says. I want that one. Oh, fuck. You're right. Wait, we keep skipping.

We keep jumping. We have like a tree of thought. The digression is terrible. Okay. The Den Theater in Chicago. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Why did you pick Chicago? Um, I don't know if I picked it or the all things comedy.

Oh, they produced it. Yeah, they paid for it. And they, I think it was their choice. And they had another comic, Joe Bartnick? Yeah, Joe Bartnick. Yeah, so he was on the same, like, weekend. He opens for Burr sometimes. Yeah, he's funny.

Yeah. So he was like the same weekend, so they just, you know, could stay set up. Oh, so he filmed one, you filmed one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who was better? Mine was, oh, God. Let's go scene joke by joke. Joke by joke.

Point Barry. Point, point Barry. Point Barry. One point, Barry? That reminds me, one time Fitz, Greg Fitz Simmons. I had, we were doing a show together years and years ago, and I said, Fitz, I have a joke that's, like, similar to that.

It's obvious, it's not the same, but we use, like, a similar premise. And I was like, oh, I like, I like that. That was really good. And I said, I probably, I just stopped doing it then, and he goes, well, who does it better? And I said, oh, you do. And he goes, yeah. Yeah, I'll keep doing it then. That's funny.

I love fits. He just called me from Skankfest, which, and they're calling me, Skankfest is calling me, saying, where's Todd? Your producer got up and quit. That's actually my dream. I want him to quit so bad.

He just, he lives this, like, such fun, beautiful life as a 26 year, 25 year old, 26 year old? What are you again? 26. 26 year old male. Right, he lives a dream. He lives alone.

I never lived alone when I was 26. I had four roommates in one bathroom Really? Yeah Yeah, I had roommates Yeah, I was he gonna say I remember even like

Even in New York The best room I'd ever had Was Brian Kylie Do you know him in the comic? I don't know why it sounds about But no, I'm gonna say no He wrote for Conan forever Oh, okay

And he's super nice guy But he lived in Boston But got this job When Conan was in New York So he would Go on Fridays He'd just go straight to work From Boston

and then I'm trying to remember what he did he somehow it was like four days without a roommate every week oh oh right right

fucking why am I blanking on the detail man there he is he looks like Matt Walsh a little bit Matt Walsh was the other roommate there you go the right wing blog

that's right oh yeah that Matt Walsh not right right right you know Matt Walsh you know Mr. Matt Walsh yeah the good one.

The comic. Yeah, yeah. He's great. Who's the other Matt Walsh? Oh, there's a right wing. He's like a Daily Wire, Matt Walsh. Like, conservative guy. What does he look like?

Maybe I do know who that is. Matt Walsh. Which one do you like more? Oh, I remember the schedule now. Give it to me. He would fly in on Friday, I think, from Boston, go straight to work, then leave. He'd go back to Boston and come back straight to work on Monday. Does that make sense?

Yeah. So he was barely there. He was barely there. He never needed to be there. Thanks, God, I remember. Oh, that guy. That guy. Yeah, I've seen that guy in the internet.

Yeah. Well, you're a conservative pundit, everyone kind of knows. You've got your new conservative pundit. I'm a libertarian and a conservative puny. At the same time. Right. Yeah. But you've got a new show that you're going to be premiering called Berries-Berry's Barry's.

Right? Is that what it's called Barry's Barry's? It is. It's a right-wing show. And it's all about the fruit industry. It's all the right-wing's view of fruit. Not all riffing works, you know? Sometimes you riff and it's great.

I think sometimes that does work better. When it doesn't work, it works very well. It worked because I pointed it out that it didn't work. Now people are like, the tension's been diffused. It's not tension. I mean, there's a sexual tension when you walked in. You still got it, kid. My God.

Have you done your Pels Club? No, I bought this on Etsy. Really? Yeah, no, I did it. Yeah, I did it. I did, I played the club, and then I, then we did summer camp this year. You know what that is? You never went to Jewish summer camp as a kid? I did, no, I actually was supposed to go to Jewish summer camp, and I bailed the night before. Really? I said, Mom, I don't want to do it.

That's not for you. I don't want to do this, because I went to day camp. You ever go to day camp? Basically, you go home, but it's camp. But I, it was too regimented for me, and I just, I've always been. going to lose cannon. You really are a wild card. I have a wild card. Have you gone out to Yellow Springs, to Chappelle's? No, but he invited me. For sure, you should go. You have my phone number. I go, yeah. No, I don't actually. I have your phone number, get your number, but then he introduced me to someone who I think books it, and it just hasn't happened for something. You got to do. It's honestly one of the most fun I've ever had. It's beautiful. You play in this, like, outdoor pergola, and everyone's

outside, and it's in this big, gorgeous field, but surrounded by trees, and it's very pretty. It's very, very It sounds good. Yeah, you've got to go do it. He's a good egg. That's Chappelle. He's a good egg. That's what they say. He's a good egg, that Chappelle.

Did you make up that good egg expression? You never heard good egg? You know good egg. That's a Midwest thing. He's a good egg, meaning like, he's a... Yeah, I know what a good egg is. All right. I've been called it up my whole life.

No chance. No chance. You're a rotten egg. When... Are you on tour now? A little bit. Oh, you're doing clubs now? doing a little bit of clubs, and then I'm doing some casinos, you know, doing casinos and clubs.

Yeah, you don't like those? I like a casino when it's in a weird place, and it's not like people are just camp there. Sure. And like, I guess we should see comedy tonight. You know, they always give out 600 comps or something. Sure. I once got an offer from a club in Atlantic City. I'm not going to mention what it was, but in the contract that said, we have a right to let 100 people in for free, and your guest list is limited to eight.

These are people who aren't going to pay? Can I get 30 people in who aren't going to pay? No, they're like, no. We're really, it's our specialty. It's probably because they want the high rollers in there. Yeah, they want the people that are spending all the money. Now, I'm doing a little bit of casinos and then go back to clubs again at some point next year. You're on the move.

You're on the run, aren't you? Yeah. How many dates you got lined up? Now? Yeah. I don't even know. Bring it up. Bring up toddberry.

Whoa. Or what's your website's got to be... Toddberry. Got it. Knew it. I've been guessing that stuff for years. It's exciting to fucking get to toddberry.com forever. Well, because Todd Barry, I mean, that's a little too common.

Andrew Santino is probably not going to get scoop. Todd Barry will get scoop. Do you have Andrewsantino got dot com? I've dot com? I've dot org. Seriously? No, I've come. Yeah, I've dot com.

What is it? He's playing East Greenwich, Rhode Island. Greenwich. Richmond, Virginia. Virginia. Love it. Portsmouth, New Hampshire on the 4th of December. Armory at MGM Springfield on December 5th.

I guess that's sort of a casino. And 6th. That is. Crescent Theater on the 11th in Mobile. Howling Wolf on 12th in New Orleans. Ooh, the New Orleans fun. And is he playing a New Year's Eve show? Not yet.

You need to. Are you doing one? No, I'd never do them. I like doing them because the money, like even in Justin the city, the money's bigger. Yeah. And if you really want to go out, then just fucking go out whenever you're done.

Yeah, it's fun. I mean, I don't really do anything for New Year's. I don't, like, do a big parties. I like to just, it's like almost like a vacation. I kind of don't like all holidays, but. You like one of them. What, Halloween? You love Halloween.

I like that people leave out bowls of candy, like, you know, hotels or stuff like that. Because I love candy. You got a sweet tooth. I don't have a sweet, well, I guess I just said, I love candy and then tried to deny that have a sweet tooth. Can't have it both ways on that one. Odd improv there. Yeah. I love candy.

I call myself out on that. I'm tough, but I'm very, even with myself. You don't have a sweet tooth? You think you do? No, I do, but I'm not. Sometimes, like, I could, you know, take a bite of a piece of cake, and I'll be like, all right, that did it, that's fine. One bite?

All right, that depends on what cave. A little masochistic. What kind of cake do you like? I like ice cream cake. Ice cream cake. Fucking seven years old? Yeah. I haven't had ice cream cake.

From Carvel? I'll get them from that. Yeah, Carvel's pretty good. I'll take a carvel. I like ice cream cake a lot. You get cake and ice cream. Yeah. Why would we separate them?

It doesn't make any fucking sense. Put it together. Oh, you got to keep it in the fridge. Yeah, you keep it in the fridge anyway. Freezer. Knob fridge when you're ready to eat, my friend. Oh, really? Yeah, you let it thawlop.

When's the last time you purchased an ice cream cake? This morning at 10.30 in the morning. Seriously? No, God, Todd. What's your, what is you? You don't drink, no drug. I drink a little bit. But very rarely.

I feel like I've only seen you blacked out once on the news. It was TMZ. Did you see that clip of him? Todd Berry's weiner is out on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue running amuck. You drink on planes? Never. Neither do I. You're dehydrated already.

It's a bad idea. Yeah, sometimes they just see someone ordering a drink and I get a headache. Yeah, right. But I've never understood, like, you fly to like on an hour and a half flight. an hour and a half flight. Yeah, can I get a double gin tonic? It's fucking hour flight. And it's also six in the morning.

Most of the time it's the guy doing it right at six, seven in the morning. I just always wonder, what's going on at 10 o'clock at night with this mother fun? This is what's going on at 10 o'clock in the morning? Also, I have, in the past, I learned to not drink on flights because when I did it, when I first started touring in my 20s, I'd get drunk and hung over on the same flight. It's coming from L.A., every flight from here is forever. Yeah. There's no quick flight.

We're not like you guys, and you guys bounce around. If I'm coming anywhere, it's going to take a couple hours. What do you mean when we bounce around? It's so easy to get from New York to all these... We'll see, the East Coast is quite concentrated. Yeah? And then the West Coast is not. Maybe you've never been to a place called Wyoming.

Oh, shit, that's not an East Coast. That's not the East Coast. I knew that. Yeah, it's just far for anywhere. Like, Denver's two hours. Do you... Are you one of these Burbank Airport? I just flew in two hours ago to Burbank.

People who are the best airmen. It's the best. It's just not as bad as LAX. That's correct. That would make it the best. It's not like particularly amazing airport. Well, what would make it an amazing airport? Great food choices.

That's insane. You eat at the airport? Are you seven? Wow. See? You see how this happened? I didn't come here to get attacked. You started it.

No, airports, the only thing that makes an airport wonderful to me is how easily I can get in and out of that place. I want nothing to do with it. I don't want it to exist. I want it to do. Let me get through the things. thing is fast and get out of the thing as fast. I love a good small airport, like an Asheville, North Carolina airport. Oh, that's the fucking greatest.

Yeah. It doesn't exist. Security is one guy, you know, hey man, how you doing? Yeah, like coming back, like when I landed, I had to go to their L.A. exit, I had to go to the Uber's lift park pickup area. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It seemed like a four-hour walk. It's a nightmare, again. When it was probably 10 minutes, but it seemed with us next, Burbank.

Do you fly first class every flight? I fly the plane. I ask to fly the plane. There's an upgraded ticket now if you want to get up in the jump seat. I guess we can't ask serious questions. Do I fly first class everywhere? I do. I do. I do. So you'll buy a first class ticket. I do buy a first class ticket, yeah.

What if it's like $4,000? I'm accruing a high amount of debt on my credit card. Are you? Yeah, I might as well. Because, you know, I learned recently, we talked about this, that if you die with a lot of debt, it just gets, you know, gets taken care of. What if I pulled out a gun right now?

Okay. Kill me. I don't give a shit. No, I don't want to. I'd rather work both comics. How funny it would it be if you carried a gun? Todd carries a gun around. Yeah, he's got a knife.

Throw it at him. This guy's prepared. Yeah. No, I do buy the ticket because when we travel, I like it. You never do it? I have occasionally, but it's usually like it's fucking like. to upgrade my flight back to L.A. From L.A. to New York, it's like $3,000.

That's insane. $3,000? Yeah, yeah. Sometimes they do with miles and a little small cash amount there. I like miles and cash. I'll do that. Do you like the lounges? I bet you love the lounges.

I usually get there right before we take off. You're a cut-it-close guy. Yeah, but if we go early as the crew, yeah, then we'll sit around in a lounge. But most days, if I'm flying solo, baby. Don't worry about, like, missing a flight? Why worry? Why me? Worry? What was it, Alfred? You got no care of what me, work.

What me worry? You have no worries in the world, man. What would I be worried? No, I don't, yeah, no. Like a traffic jam. Okay. That makes you miss your flight. I've never done it yet, so I...

Really? I think these things... It's almost like putting a case on your phone. It's why I don't have this either. This is all societally imposed. Really? I don't break phones. I don't put a case on, I'll break phone. If you think about it going to happen, it probably is going to happen. If you manifest it? Yeah, it's you doing that. Oh, I can't.

What if I'm late to the flight? You won't be. Just make it so you won't be. That's why I won't be, I don't if it's related. Like if I take a drug or something, like a prescription drug, I try not to always read the side effects. Because you'll get one. Because you'll be like, oh, yeah, I'm sorry, my toes are kind of tinkling.

Right, of course. Of course. Yeah. Let me guess the prescription drugs that you're on. No. All right. Oh, shut it down. God, you really did.

I'm not on antidepressants or anything like that. That's not what I was going to guess. Oh. Then probably, yes. Everyone is on OZembek now. That's the new thing. You've been skinny your whole life. You don't have to worry about that.

You've never battled it? No, I haven't. Yeah. Were you a fat kid? No, I've always had a little bit of a gut, potbelly. I don't know how to get rid of it, man. That's good for you. It is?

No, it's bad for you, actually. It means your heart's working overtime. Fuck. I think you might be right about them. Are you on cholesterol medication? Yeah, but... It was, yeah, I am. The statin, I'm on a statin.

Yeah, how many milligrams? Oh, God. Let's say it at the same time. One, two, three. Oh, you don't know? No. Ten. I think I'm ten also.

Ten, yeah, it's not a competition, Todd. It says here that a pop belly is not good for you. It's a visible sign of serious health risks, including heart problems, diabetes, and certain cancers. This is often due to a build of dangerous visceral fat that wraps run your organs, which can be caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. Fuck. Well. How does that feel?

So glad I did this podcast. You don't have a belly I've never noticed you ever. I don't think I have a gigantic belly, but have a little bit of belly. I think you're a regular-sized man as far as I'm concerned. Thank you.

Paul Simon. Why am I soft in the middle now? One of the best lines of all the time. That's a good line. It's like one of the great... Sometimes a line hits you so hard and it's just a throwaway line. But when I first heard that,

I thought, yeah, that is true. As soon as you get a little bit older, you're like, why am I soft in the middle now? And when did it happen? I can't even mark the moment it happened. he has no fucking idea what that feels

like a 25 year six year kid they don't know like that's a thing that just happens right we're like why am I more tired

because of that thing that never used to make me tired yeah how many times are you peeing in the middle of the night seven no I know

you mark it on the wall 85 um sometimes none I'm almost always one but generally if I am doing that's one one a night

and what time is it do you have is it pretty clockworky um maybe after I've kind of done a full night's sleep, maybe? Mine's like 4.45 almost on the nose every night. 4.30, 4.45.

Do you sleep well? No. Do you? I sleep pretty well, yeah. But how can you sleep knowing the abuse you foist on your guests? Voiced? Is that, that's a word, right? Yeah, to foist something, yeah. Yeah, that's true. So what do you do for that? Do you take a sleep bill?

No, that's good. Now I just let it ride. It's just going to die early. What time do you go to sleep? 3.30? Yeah. Yeah, I'm in bed most nights by midnight, give or take. Really?

You're tired now. Just suddenly felt like midnight right then? Midnight for me. Do you play any, like, white noise? Yeah, white noise. Like from your phone? Yep. Yeah.

We have a machine. See, the machine seems like unnecessary at this point, right? Does it? Well, why, if you can do it with your phone. But this one has different kinds of noise. And this one's scientifically created to make the best white noise. Scientifically, you think your phone wasn't scientifically created? This, not the white noise app.

It's actually my white noise app is a guy going, it's just a man. You bomb tonight. You bomb tonight. You bomb tonight. The, huh? Because, you know that calm, the meditation app? Yeah, I don't have that either.

I got some sleep things on there. Is that work? Like infinite piano. It's kind of nice to have a little. But you pay for the app. You pay... It's a free version and also Spotify

has... Is the free version of white noise have ads during the middle of the night? I know. Wakes, Hey, big tommy's...

I don't know what big Tommys. Come on, man. You were right there. Ring it out. Skateboard repair shop. I don't know about that. And those are making a comeback those skateboard repair shops.

They're all over the place. Has that ever existed? Never. No chance. That's like a vacuum repair store. They used to be all over West Hollywood. I was like, these are drug fronts.

This couldn't be a business. If a vacuum breaks... But I think those kind of businesses are... Good because it's like, I'm the guy in L.A. who fixes that. Just buy a new vacuum. They can't, are they that expensive? A vacuum?

I've only ever gotten them for free on the street. That's what I mean. I got a free one. I used to do this thing called Free Stuff for Todd as a hashtag. Yeah. On Twitter and I just would say, can you give me your product? And they would just give it to. So much shit I got.

How much? What's the best thing you got from free products for Todd? I'll just rattle off a few things. Go ahead. Fucking couch. Huge. Whoa. I got a $450 dollar dice.

and vacuum. That's an overpriced vacuum. Not when it's free, it ain't. That's correct. A bunch of like kombucha, protein bars, RX bars, cold brew coffee. Love that.

Yeah. I love a cold brew. You're a hot coffee, cold coffee, or weather-dependent? I like, my standard audience order is an Americano, iced Americano. Iceed Americano.

Not too much water. So you have some places give you like a ton that gets watery but if you get it a small cup I would have never guessed you're a nice

to Maricano guy sugar no cream no these are my nicknames by the way so I responded

to both of us yeah I used to I heard some well I feel like coffee is one thing or I'm like here's something

I enjoy a lot and it doesn't have any calories so why ruin it with milk but I used to drink I do like it with milk but I've never been like a latte

person no that's too much 200 calories or something I like I like old school drip coffee. I'm pretty traditional. Do you like a pourover? Probably not. I like a pourover. Yeah. Yeah. But I just like

a, I just like, it reminds me of like my grandma. Just a big pot of coffee in the morning. I just like that. I don't know. It's more, it's more nostalgic than I think. Do you make your own coffee? Every day. Holy shit. Yeah. Now that's a business. I'm not supporting the inflated world of coffee.

Do you know Mark well? You have known him for forever. He's the sweetest mean guy I know. That's a good description. He's never been mean to me, but... Well, there's reason. He feels bad. He's like, I can't be mean to Todd.

Have you been on a show? I did do a show. I did do a show, and now it's gone. Rest in peace. How many times did you do it? I did a bunch at the beginning before it was big, like when he was sneaking in, but he would go to, like, radio stations

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And now you've been here. Now I've been here, man. Let's fucking... Is this the roof? This feels like the top.

Does it get any higher than this? As far as a podcast Go? No, this is the fucking... It's almost depressing knowing that nothing will live up to this. So I'm gonna...
