Inference might be inference. This might be another one of those weird foreign things because I was raised by foreigners
I don't know if I can say anything. You don't talk English good. Nope
Look, let's get serious. A lot of people want to talk silly stuff
and
You know make light of
Unimportant things. This is a little more sophisticated show
And I'm kind of sick of the silliness. I want to talk about real issues. Okay. What did you have on your mind?
Well, I just you know, let's just have this introduction here
This is from the bbc. Are we changing the format of the show now? Is that a whole show is going to get a lot more serious
Political we're going to do politics every week. Absolutely every every week. I went hard-hitting geopolitical
international debates

and I
All right, sorry. That's you know, you do what you want to do
I'll do what I do. Okay. Okay
Here we go and here here you go
Blow me up, Tom. Farts typically have sound
All sound has a frequency. What is the frequency of a fart? Find out next
Who is right? Don't bring anyone loving to this
Well, welcome welcome to your mom's house
With Tom Segura
Christina
You
That's
So your your thing is what frequency are your farts
I've you know, it's funny because we watched that movie about sounds
God, I hated it. Yeah, I know they didn't have one fart in that nobody
Look of all the questions call a quiet place quiet place need to be answered. How are they taking shits?
They have diarrhea. How are they farting? Those are two biggest. How are they burping John Krasinski?
Emily Blunt, which they're married in real life in real life
The movie was a big hit. I mean, how are they jerking off?
They're not how are they watching porn and masturbating? Nobody none of that was addressed. Yeah, none of it was addressed how loud he comes
Does he make a lot of noise when it comes because you don't know the premise of the movie?
It did very well at the box office. It's that there's these crazy aliens out there that
Kill anything basically that makes a noise. Yeah, so the world is is an utter chaos and
He and his family are
living in out in a field somewhere basically in a farmhouse and
They you know, if you knock something over you immediately have to hide because
These aliens that kill everything are blind, but they have
Super hearing so they hear every little noise here every fart
Yeah, every jacket and if he's like they would hear that, you know, that movie was so stressful. Yeah
How are they watching this
How are porn star shooting scenes
I
Watch it like this. It's a good movie
I'm just stressed out because of the content will stress me out. You were you were super stressed. I was like I tap out
I tap out. I can't I can't watch children being I know I
This is a lot and like again the big issues of the film were not addressed
That was upsetting but we stayed so we stayed in a hotel
We had a baby moon our very last one before this baby jeans comes into town, right?
And as usual, we were perusing the porn options in the hotel room because we were you know
The one was like daddy loves my big tits. That's right
You can tell a lot about the hotel's clientele by what kind of porn they offer in the room a lot of transsexual porn lots of
Transsexual stuff, but daddy loves my big tits
Daddy loves my big tits and what really kind of upset me
with these titles is that
I'm leaving so much money on the table right now. You are because right now
I'm nine months pregnant and that is such a lucrative porn
Category that I'm not even taking a part of right now. I mean, where's my cut? It's out there
It's out there if you're ready to make a move. It seems like the natural money on the table desire for a pregnant woman
To have when you're around women a lot nine months you you realize you're like, why aren't you doing porn right now?
Seems like what they all want. Yeah, it's an ideal time your body looks great
You feel great. You're the top of your game. You are leaving a hundred dollars. Just hundreds sitting out there fifties everywhere
Yeah, how much do you think a woman gets for that genre? I don't know. I don't know because I know that
You know without being really keyed into it that that whole business model has taken such a hit because of free
You know two sites. Yeah, so it used to be when people made a lot of money, you know
First of all, there was born used to be in cinemas and it was you know, I like I said cinema. Yeah, cinema cinema
Then you had to go buy videotapes or DVDs. No, so can you imagine eating popcorn? Oh my god watching
Going to it is the most so vile disgusting thing ever. How do you sit through the whole whole thing?
It's don't you want to be alone when you watch porn?
How do you sit through like an hour and change of a movie and not jerk off with each other?
Or even if you go like I'm not going to it's like then aren't you just always distracted by other guys drinking?
It had to just been a jerkfest in these theaters and the I'm sorry the cinemas you refer the cinema
Yeah, but then then they got paid money because they sold a lot of
Videotapes for DVDs put you on the cover and you know, you were you were selling VHS
Yeah, yeah, you were selling copies and DVDs, but now with with free
I think it's really driven the money down
So but I think you're at least making a few hundred bucks for your pregnant porn scene at least and the good news is it's not
It's a niche thing. It's not like, you know, but that's why it's even more in demand. I don't know
Is it I don't know but the good news is I can't get pregnant again
So I feel like I should be working a lot right now
Yeah, this is an ideal time would you do like the airtight the two and you three and you what's airtight again at one in every hole
Yeah, I mean, I'm already pregnant. So what's to lose?
You know the cool thing is you have something to show the kid to
You know, I mean right now you can show your kid that you just stand up pregnant. That's exciting. Not really not compared
To three dicks in you and being like you're in there. You're in the scene
Yeah, it's a really cool thing that to share with a child. It is and also that would be a good clip and also
Who's that that's Natasha? Oh my gosh, can we talk about these two by the way? Yeah, first of all, let's let's
We're jumping all over the first of all
Seriously, you really do have to be hard up to do nine month pregnancy porn like you got to be in dire straits
Well, or just really committed or smart. Yeah, really committed. I
Think that there's a level of commitment there
You know kind of reminds me of the CrossFit games. Those those people work out a lot
Oh, I see, you know, I follow fit moms of Instagram
Mm-hmm, and there's all these lunatic women who are nine months pregnant doing deadlifts. Is that what that's called?
We're the yeah, yeah, yeah
Over their bellies and shit and jumping up on boxes. Oh, they're doing like power cleans and power matches. Yeah
It's my favorite it's so crazy one of my greatest motivators
It's a I know it sounds super sexist. Yeah, I look at it, and I'm like holy shit
And I do I do think of it as motivation
I know someone will take it the wrong way because this is the era of taking everything
social justice warriors
Well deal with it. We got a tweet about this. I have found some women
That are like workout warriors. Yeah that are like
125 pounds. Yes. Yeah. Yeah that are stronger than me. Sure. So I look at it, and I'm like this chick is
out squatting me
Out cleaning me like it's out. I look at it. I'm like holy shit. I I mean it sounds like I'm saying, you know
This is certain be possible, but I'm really just amazed by it
You know, well, I think that I think I feel your amazement, too
Yeah, and I see like a tiny chick and you're like, how is she so powerful? I saw
Instagram thing I should look it up who it is, but this woman was I mean like looks like she's about five three
125 pounds, I mean totally yoked but throwing around real weight like
Cleaning real weight and I was like, oh my god. I need to get into the gym more. It's amazing, isn't it?
She's fucking half my size. It's amazing people are capable of yeah
I mean, obviously, I'll never work out to the degree that she works out her whole life is working out
But it still was amazingly motivating. Yeah, of course
My favorite are the Instagram the fit mom's Instagram, and they'll be like four days postpartum
And that totally flat stomach six pack. You're like, are you fucking out of your mind?
It's okay. It's just relax you
Give yourself a minute. It's a lot
You don't need to go back to the gym right away 20 hours after you had the babies be fat for a minute
Well, look, so we're talking about first. Let's think let's finish this. Yeah frequency thing. Okay, so right?
So that that whole movie. I don't want to give it away, but they're just trying to find, you know
What can defeat these super?
Sonic aliens and it got us thinking about
Sounds and frequencies is there that's that's what they're dealing with. I mean just try to learn a little bit
Try to open your mind and learn a little bit here. Okay, sorry
Sorry human farts come in all ranges of sounds. There are popcorn farts, which sound like their name
Typically of the same note. There are also longer farts ones that slide up from one note to the other
That's right. That's really interesting. So if you wanted to find the frequency of a fart
How would you go about doing that first off? You would need to find out which note you are farting
It might be a good idea to record the part then using a piano
Or if you're a trained singer you could use your voice to find the note or notes
Once you find the note you can then consult this chart to find the corresponding frequency
I'm already thinking about how much this video would set Natasha
Oh, she did not like farts at all. What is the average fart frequency?
Science has not yet provided the answer to the average fart frequency as of 2015
And while this is a rather unscientifically provided hypothesis the average fart frequency likely ranges in between notes c2 and c6
Or 130.81 and 1046.50 hertz
Well, hold on a second. I mean, this is just fascinating information. I don't even know what that means
Why would it be important to know the frequency of a fart? Yes
Well, there's probably no real reason to know this information other than to entertain yourself or your friends
But still this video actually gives you a lesson in sound engineering
This is similar to the technique recording engineers use to isolate unwanted sound so they can cancel them out in the mix
By finding the frequency of a tone or in this case a fart
One can remove the sound or boost it by finding that frequency in an eq and manipulating it from there
Okay, she lost me. I don't know what the fuck she's telling me. Why are we removing frequencies from farts?
That sounds like a D minor. Is that the I don't know anything about
Chick-a-watch music and frequencies and sounds any of that, but I just feel like king aft ripper would blow away this engineer
Yeah, this is bullshit
Um, bring in some real farts
Bring in some those farts were like children's my our toddler farts like that. Yeah
But back to what you were saying. So we we had Moshe and Natasha in they have a special on netflix
The honeymoon tour and they were delightful and we learned so much about them
But I think the real carry away and the thing that's been kind of sticking to you and and me
Is the fact that they don't fart in front of each other
Oh
Yeah, I mean a great drop. Yeah
um, yeah, I know they uh, they don't
Break news years. Wow
Six years of no farts. What are you?
Listen, I can't even wrap my brain around something like that. It's crazy. It's really wild
I mean, I don't know
Here's the thing is like now you can't I mean, I think it's I think in a way the woman leads right because
If woman makes it clear to a man
No, if you make it clear that it's not accept like really not acceptable where she's made it clear it's not gonna happen
Right. Um, then you're only doing that
Because you want to really upset that person
I feel like I started that lead in our relationship and then it was completely disregarded
It was disregarded, but it was also met with
Embracement and joy. I don't know. I don't know about that. I just know that I had wishes
I had things established and those wishes were just done away with I waited months
three four
three four
And you put my hand in your lap
We were watching tv together sitting in your boxers as usual
Yeah, and you farted on my hand and just started laughing and smiling. Well, I thought that was
That was bold. It was bold and it was like it's like why
Just sneak one out. Why not just go for it completely?
Yeah
Well, I think how do you think that's actually what a reaction? Oh, I you break up immediately
I think even if you had a kid together, she divorced you. Really? I don't think she's pulling that move. She's not
What if he did that move now?
That that'll be rounds for termination really. I don't think that would be cool for her
Yeah, because they're they're not even doing the lean over and fart
Well, and what's really interesting about their interview is that they don't even announce when they have to take dumps in front of each other
No, which I find
So, I mean, how do you live with somebody every day day to day and you you just disappear for 15 minutes
Fascinated though, because yeah, it also is insight into I don't understand how other I mean, that's first of all
It's not we're not talking about three months in this is six years
And a baby
Yeah, which generally breaks down a lot of those barriers if you've seen a woman give birth you generally
But then you kind of admire it right that that they say that
Committed to keeping it. I honestly. Yeah. I mean look, I'm not trying to pass judgment on them. I'm just trying to
Understand how you can go without farting
She didn't want to talk about that shitting for six years. She's like he eats. Well, it's fine
Like let's jump but if he well that makes you fart even more. It's a good point. You eat a lot of veggies
I feel like he eats pretty healthy
Right
Yeah, I feel like he's holding a lot of farts
I mean look my my
Next stepmom and dad
My stepmom had this policy. There's no farting. Did she ever fart in front of you?
Never not and they not in these 17 years
I knew her now my dad on the other hand would disregard it from time to time when I was around at least
And then we would have a good laugh at the fart and she would get very upset
And she would leave and get really really really mad
So I think they had that no fart
policy
Right
I just I what about the sneak outs in the middle of the night? Well, those don't count
Those those don't think that those anybody would forgive. That's that's a completely unreasonable, but I'm talking about you're awake
You got a fart. I mean god, how many a day are we? Oh my gosh
And then what if you ate Korean barbecue? Oh, and you've had kimchi and the farts are just a lot that day
So what are you you're holding it in all day? It's got to be very difficult
I mean my favorite farts are the ones that wake you up
You wake me up with farts all the time
Nice I was just asleep
Bar you do it all the time you do it constantly it makes me makes me laugh a lot. I don't know. I mean
Again, I'm not judging them. That's totally their decision
I'm just trying to wrap my head around how it would be even possible for us. I'm saying yeah
I'm really just thinking about us like I don't you know, it can't happen. By the way speaking of your
Your porn quest your pregnancy porn. Yeah looks like the mommies are
flooding some
Comments in porn hub. There's a comment section there
and uh
This is like if you keep your jeans high and tight 250 thumbs up here. Oh, wow
Um, that's all right. Try it out 92 thumbs up. So jeez. It's like we have a
Fanbase here on on porn hub is on porn hub. He should have taken about 10 to 12 Benadryl
That stuff makes you hornier than you've ever been in your entire life. Try it out
Piss on me beat me try it out. Hey hitlers. I mean these are all
What clip is this for they doesn't mention here? I don't know
Maybe it's black guys who like to fuck and fuck good. It's pretty good. Yeah. Oh, oh
It's what it looks like. It says it's one of the uh
Ball hog videos. Oh, there you go. Yeah, that would make sense
Someone said I had to check out the porn hub
Ball hog videos horrific
Who wants to see someone slurp on balls for 80% of a video?
Anyways, it's just want to let you know that the mommies took over the comments. So it is it is on the um
The ball hog
I am Peyton Lafferty and a ball hog
Lafferty. Yeah before I forget
Uh movies we're watching a trailer for that movie mama mia came on for something. Oh for the fuck's sake
I know and it's so funny. It's like an all-star cast too. It's fit. I'm sure yeah, meryl Streep share and all these
you know
But I I can't think of something I'd want to watch less
It's pretty fucking terrible
I mean and then I got to thinking what are the other horrible movies I could make you watch
So would you rather?
Oh my god
Yeah, would you rather sit through mama mia and I mean you got to go to theater and really sit down and watch every stupid thing
Enjoy all the abba songs
Or
Chicago
He had it coming
It's all like the crime that you know with queen latifas in there. It's really hard for me to say
It's really hard for me. Well, we saw a little bit of chicago, but we saw six seconds. It was on tv
Right, it's unbearable. Let's turn it out. We threw the tv fucking out the window
But
I mean they seem terrible. They're both terrible
I hate musicals. Oh, so do I and musical movies are even worse
I lasted literally the first not even to the completion of the first scene of la la land
Because they started singing. Oh, I forwarded through all the songs and that I just like ryan god
Hate it. I walked out of the movie about p.t. Barnum. I didn't know that fucking was a musical
That's a musical
Yeah, I went to the theater to go see it
And then halfway through the first song. I was like, I don't know if I can do this and by the third song
I was like, I'm out. I gotta go. I don't like it. I was pregnant. I walked home
The cold really like I can't fucking I can't you walked. Yeah, I was in a puta. Was I pregnant? Yeah
No, no, I wasn't pregnant then
And short lake short lake shitty
I mean, how do I pick one of these awful fucking things? I don't know. Here's my mama me as a chick flick
So is chicago. Yeah, but mama me is abba. Do you like abba? I can tolerate it. I guess
I think I probably like abba more
than the straight up
Chicago musical songs for that for that movie. Yeah, those are terrible because those are like traditional
A song for a musical story. I could tolerate abba more
You know what I don't like about chicago. I'll say the what I did watch of like the queen latifah thing
She's like the boss the prison guard who like run stuff. Yeah, it's the repetition of
The chorus or whatever like I'm the boss lady. They call me the boss and I'm the boss and I bust you around and like
I fucking heard you saying that like I get it. You're the boss people some people love this
Shit the repetition. Well, you know some here's the thing. I the older I get the more I understand that people
like all kinds of different things. Yeah, and
You know
It enrages you sometimes. Yeah, um, what's funny to me
Is that they don't the people that love that get mad at you for not loving it?
That's the funny part to me because I remember when we talked about
Slam poetry and we made fun of that and then people would write in like I love him like so
Go love it. Don't care. Why are you why does it affect you what I like? I'm just telling you what I like
I know they get so personally offended. Yeah, it's like these are just opinions of one or two people
I like abba's music. I have so you could tolerate that
I grew up listening to it because both my parents are euro, you know, they like that stuff
So I like fernando. I like I like a lot of the abba songs
Then you oh, then that's an easy choice for you, but it's an annoying fucking movie
Yeah, annoying
It is a good cast though, and I don't want to hear them sing
I know I want to hear abba singing but maryl street pierce rosin collin furth. It's a good. It's a good
Yeah, but it's so lame how they incorporate the music into it. You know, yeah
So this must have been was this a huge hit when it came out originally the original one
Yeah, I think mama mia has been out for a it was a musical for a long time
And then they did these movies of it and now there's a sequel. Yeah to the first mama mia. Yeah, she's pregnant
She's like this is where my mom got her pussy blasted out right? Yeah
Uh, but yeah, it's a lot of us euro trashers love
Mama mia
I'm pretty sure my stepmom went to go see it. Yeah, you think so. Yeah
Yeah, there was something in the air
You like that song
Fernando
I like Fernando
There's no regrets. It's kind of nice, right?
Okay
Yeah, so much air in my belly. I know this check. Well, you got an email. Yeah, um
Hey, mommy's
It's amazing. I was listening to episode
453 about female super burps. Yeah, my girlfriend of three years always burps this way. She doesn't even try
She's how it comes out
To be honest, this is one of the things that sealed the deal on our relationship early on
Such a beautiful eastern european redhead burping loud is super sexy
And I've always had super farts. I love spicy foods and have huge farts every day
So we had the perfect balance in our relationship
She's 39 weeks pregnant now. Oh my god. Congrats. It's the end of our second trimester. She's had super farts as well
Now she's totally dominating me in the gas game and i'm feeling a little jealous
She even had a supersonic double pipe classic a few weeks ago. Wow. Congratulations on that more so than the baby
What do you suggest I do about this blatant emasculation mommy's?
I love the show. Love you both. Keep those jeans high and tight
Piss on me and beat me home here now david home here now. Yeah
What do you mean emasculation? I think you need to celebrate. No, why why does it have to?
Well, because he's feeling what you're doing. He's feeling a little left out. She's trumping him hardcore in this stuff
Yeah, but pregnancy is kind of an unfair advantage in the double pipe classic
I would say this david you better celebrate for about another week because it's about to be over
So just know that it's temporary, you know, it's almost like she has a cheat code
She does have a cheat code
Yeah, and once that baby jeans comes out the baby's gonna have more farts than both of you
So time to get over it. Yeah, it's um
Get over yourself. She's
It's it's it's time to uh
Let her know that you know she can enjoy this
While at last because it's not gonna last much longer. She's 39 weeks pregnant. She's right there man. She's right at the door
That's so funny. Uh, this female your farts will be back
And you'll you'll don't you worry. Yeah
Um, I love the idea that women are strong in the burp game. Yeah, it's pretty cool
This could start a whole gender war now between who's better at burping the men or the women
Yeah, the burp challenge. It's pretty quiet pretty crazy
I mean sometimes I feel like mine are better than yours and sometimes yours are better than mine
You feel like sometimes
Yeah, the fart game is really yours like i'm gonna give that to you. I feel like you dominate
But the burp game, you know, here's why your farts are consistent. Yeah
Over time i'm i'm more regular
Yeah, but sometimes my burp game is strong sometimes yours is it that's true burps kind of go here and there
um
Another reminder before I forget i've been trying to remind people
That new episodes are going on twitch before youtube
So, uh, we will be experimenting a little further down the road with live ones, but for right now
YouTube uploads at 11 p.m. Pacific Tuesday evenings
Twitch will do 9 p.m. Pacific and it's twitch.tv
Slash your mom's house podcast
So there is that reminder. Yeah, I mean
I don't know what well. I just feel like I feel like
Farts kind of go back and forth too
Yeah, it all fluctuates. It's all cycles and seasons, you know, yeah
Uh, so we were driving yesterday home
And um, I saw somebody walking their dog
Shirtless as usual, which I find horrifically
disgusting, I don't know
I don't know why guys think it's okay to go shirtless if I can't go shirtless. It's kind of unfair. Yeah, true
Anyways, I had one of those things Tommy where I've been saying something one way for 42 years
What is it and then you pointed out to me? Yeah, like smart and final remember what I was like, dude
I don't even know what's in smart and final. I thought it was like office supplies. Like yeah, you're smart, but
All cells are final. I had no idea that smart and final was like a grocery type of store
Well, anyway yesterday
I go that guy's wearing a sun visor. How fucking lame is that like a sun visor is the fucking
Most useless thing because your top of your head is burning
And you go it's not a sun visor you dork. It's just called a visor. Yeah, and
My fucking head exploded because I'm like my whole life. My parents have called it a sun visor
Yeah, and chewing gum. Look at this. I've heard chewing gum my whole life. So I thought everybody calls it chewing gum or sun visor
I mean, it might be like what I told you was that it might
technically
Have started has started out as people saying a sun visor like in the 70s or something maybe like when it first came
Whenever they first designed them. Yeah, but
My whole life whenever when someone's referring to that hat, no one says sun
It's just like a visor. Are you sure?
100% because both my foreign parents call it a sun visor. Like I said, I thought it made sense
A sports visor also called a sun visor or visor cap. There's a type of crownless hat, blah, blah, blah. It's a visor. Yeah, I mean
Sun visor. There's a sun visor
But but you're more american than I am and I would take your word over
Well, I like I said, I think technically it might be called a sun visor
Maybe makes sense right that that was the original name. But if you're talking to people
Here you would just say
A visor like, you know, you wouldn't you wouldn't say hand me that sun visor. You'd say, oh really?
Yeah, you wouldn't say give me a piece of chewing gum. I've been saying that for
40 years and then you're standing out as not being from here. Yeah
I mean everybody would know what you meant
Everybody knows what you mean, but they also are like this person just learned english
Yeah, it's a visor. Yeah, I've been saying chewing gum and sun visor my whole life until until yesterday sun visor
I mean, I've never
So but that that's interesting. Yeah, I just never heard
I guess I've never been around people who use that word enough right my mother called it a sun visor
So I called it a sun visor. This looks like that the the thing for your windshield. They're calling that a sun shade
uh-huh
But remember when those were popular in the 80s?
Yeah, but see not even that many hats come up here for the first sun visor. Yeah, it's interesting
Yeah, that was funny. You did go hey a sun visor. Look at that. Look at that lady walked by
It's like you mean a visor
They're so lame sun visor so just makes the top of your head hot. It's so dumb. Why would you wear one?
I don't know like yeah, if it's hot it implies that the sun's out and cooking your head
Yeah, so why would you leave that part of your head uncovered and then
Why don't you wear a cap right? Yeah
Um, should we pause for a moment because our our guests should be here any moment press pause should we do that?
Yeah, take a quick pause
And uh, we'll be right back
All right, we're back. We took a quick break and our guest is joining us now
He says here. You've done some acting
It says it says there. I've done some acting. Yeah, is that is that graffiti?
Yes, I have done I have done acting when I first got into stand-up
Um, that's all I wanted to do was stand-up comedy, you know, so I was hanging out the improv and stuff and and um
One day Mark Lanau who was bud freeman's partner business partner sat down next to me goes. Hey, everything about acting
And I said not really I just kind of you know, I wanted to stand up
That's all I want to do
Yeah, you don't think about acting because sometimes there'll be a casting agent won't come in and see you in the back room
And I want you to come in and do a cold reading for their pilot or whatever. You know, it could be a yeah, you know
Good thing. So um, also he taught acting
So that was his
But I did take up acting and I did a lot of workshops and um, and I was glad I did
Yeah, I mean you've made a quite I should probably say your name. It's uh, it's kevin kneeling everybody
Who is uh, who's listening to us? Um, thank you first of all for coming over really appreciated
It was easy. I live upstairs. I didn't know you guys
You were gonna ever come down
I mean, I heard a lot of noise down here
I thought there must be people that live down there. Look, it's surreal that you're sitting in front of me
Um, because first of all first of all, what the fuck are you taking? Is this how you don't look older?
This juice what what's going on?
We know I just started drinking orange juice
I never used to drink that much of it because I had a lot of sugar in it
I'm trying to cut down on my sugar intake, but
And also I used to have oatmeal every morning and that changed about two weeks ago where I now I've switched over to eggs
Why is that what why the sudden change? I think I just got tired of uh, the oatmeal
Yeah, over and over. Did you flavor it or just plain? Oh, well, I'm I'm the king of oatmeal
I'll go back to it too and I'm just taking a little hiatus a little got you we've been we've been on eggs for a while
Yeah, I hate him and I hate him. I force myself to what you need to
Well, I mean, okay. I even asked you this. I think when I saw you laugh factory
It is this just genetic. This is why you you looked like you did in 1994
Well, I am rotting on the inside. You asked the problem
See that makes me happy because it really upsets me that um that you've maintained so well
How old are you? I
Am 20s. I wish you would guess. Yeah. Wow. Kevin. Guess how I'll let yourself go
Do you want to guess? Um, I haven't you're like one of the you look a golfer
I can't tell how old you are. I mean your eyes look young. The rest of you looks really really decrepit
I'm gonna go ahead and say
40
That's pretty good guess. That is a good guess. I'm 39. I guess older
We used to call him the albert pooholes of comedy. Yeah
Because you know a lot of the baseball players, especially the dominican guys, um, would lie about their age
When the recruiters went down so they'd be like 17
And the scouts would show up and they'd be like i'm 14
And then they would get signed and pooholes was the guy who because 17 was too old. Yeah
Yeah, modeling they would because they'd be playing in these like little league teams and then
Then the guy would finally get in the majors and really some of them really start to show their age and they'd be like you're 23
The guy's like no, I'm actually 31, but you know, they just they did whatever it took to get in
Well, I think genetically I was kind of lucky because when I was in high school
I looked like I was 12 when I graduated if you look at my high school year picture
I realized I had no body here. I was so embarrassed because I was so far behind everybody. Yeah
And um, and I had I was 5 8 when I graduated high school. I'm 6 4 now
What you were 5 8 when you graduated high school 5 8 and I had a lot of baby fat on me and stuff and um
And then I just shot up after uh high school, you know, I got a I went to college
I got a job lifeguarding maybe was sitting out in the sun where I just started growing major grow
Yeah, but um, you actually graduated high school as what would be considered a short guy
5 8 is yeah average size maybe a little lower
I'm not sure what uh, see as a tall person. You don't really think about height
You just the only time I think about height is when I see a really tall guy
And I think man that guy's tall. Oh, am I that tall? I hope not and I'll stand next to him. Yeah without him knowing
Oh, really? Thank god
I think I'm like just a hair below freakishly tall
And that's what I hear a lot from people when they first see me. They say, I didn't realize you were this tall
I said, I know I just realized it the other day and it's so genuinely upsetting too. It's another thing about it
You know, yeah, it's upsetting how tall you are. Yeah, because yeah
It's like when you expect to have like a uh, a nice big
Corn on the cob and all they have is like a corn dog. Oh man
You weren't you didn't have that picture in your hand
No, and I see I kind of think if I ever imagined how tall you were because I remember, um, you know
My first exposure to you was weekend update
And I don't think you when you're watching that sitting down. Yeah, of course, you don't ever tell
But then he's not that big either, you know, I tell people they need to get a bigger tv
That way they'll see how tall I am. Yeah, how tall you are. I'm not like five inches tall
Where did you grow up? I grew up in canada kid bridgeport, canada kid not proud of it
But I heard they just got a new comedy club there of the first comedy club in bridgeport and bridgeport. Yeah
Where's bridge factory? It's um, it's about an hour and 15 minutes north of new york city
Oh, that's really close long island sound. Yeah, so would you go in there a lot to the city? No
I was I was really afraid of new york city
growing up in canada kid because
Because it was a big city and there's all these one-way streets and the new yorkers were tough, you know
And so I and it was hard to drive in there too
Because you had to get on the merit park way and then get over to all these other freeways and stuff and the traffic was going fast
And so I didn't go in in that much that really the first time I went in there on school trips
You know the museum, but the first time I I you know
looked at a comedy club
I drove in there and I went to see the catcher rising star
and the comic strip and
The improv
And it was just I was like a farm boy going into a city, you know, it was just lights and cars everywhere and you know
but um
But but getting back to the genetic thing. I think that um
I really am my body is taking a toll because I played football and rugby and soccer growing up
So I have like I got a real hip like three years ago. Did you really? Yeah my right side
And uh, my shoulders are like really sore now. I think there's probably arthritis in there
And uh, and then when I pee I get this pain in my back. It's like a kidney stone every pee
No, only kind of like after I worked out or did a hike, you know
Um, yeah, I have that checked out. Are you guys doctors? I can do this. Okay. I can do it. No, I did have a checked out
Yeah, what would they say? Well, again, I'm at that age now where they don't find anything wrong. It's just a muscle
They're just like you're dying man. Yeah, you break it down. You're decomposing. Yeah. Yeah
No, but I have had kidney stones before
And that's not fun. I hear that's really bad. Does the juice help?
The juice helps. Yeah, no, um water helps a lot of water
Oh, thankfully, I won't have them. I drink a lot of water. Yeah, Tom drinks brown coffee all day long. Does that help with kidney stones?
Coffee actually they say is good for you now, isn't it? Yeah, it's mostly water. That's the thing. Yeah
It's a diuretic though. It makes you pee. I thought it was dehydrating. You don't know what that word means. So
P now, you know what P means. Yeah, P means but I did get a uh, here's a here's a word you need to familiarize yourself with
Okay, and you want to avoid this. Okay. It's called a cystos
Cystoscopy, I could really say. What's a cystoscopy? Oh god, it sounds good.
It's what you get after you've had a kidney stone
It's through the baby. You're a urologist. Yeah, and you don't really know what it is. They say it's not pleasant, but you'll be okay
So yeah, you sit back
and they take a
You know a tube
and they numb your penis
and um
They didn't have the numbing solution I was there. So I had to sit on it for like a half hour to make it go to sleep
Oh my goodness, and then they shoved that thing up there into your bladder. Oh
Oh god
Ritual dick cut. Yeah, they got a little ritual dick cut. No. No. Yeah
Damn, homie. That's but so anyway, I did that one time and they found nothing up there. So how painful was that?
Yeah, you know what it was kind of like, um
Even though they numbed it it was still kind of like, uh, I I just stopped short of saying take it out. Take it out
Yeah, you know, I had a catheter in one time in the hospital. I was in the hospital and the nurse tripped
And it pulled out like
And I was like, oh
She was like, uh, I'm sorry. I wasn't supposed to happen. I was like don't say anything
Don't tell anybody breathing. So yeah, don't get me fired
Gosh, you guys talking about all these painful things. I hope I don't have to experience anything painful
Yeah, here's a fun one when I was 23. I had a bump on my neck
Yeah, and I went to some doctor back then in bridgeport connecticut
And this is when you could smoke in the doctor's office
And he was smoking a big cigar and he reaches across his desk
And he feels it with his two fingers and he goes, okay, what you have here is a a tumor
And when he said tumor that mixed with a cigar smoke
I started to get narrow vision. Yeah, and I was starting to feel faint and he looked and he was talking about it
And he saw how I looked and he goes, you all right. You want me to open a window? I said, yeah, please open a window
so
I said the the the a tumor thing kind of like pushed a button on me right there
Yeah, I was 23, of course and he goes, well, I call it a tumor, but it's just fatty tissue
It's fatty tissue, but we'll take it out. You know, just do a biopsy. I'm sure it's nothing
So I went to the hospital
I just got out of college, you know, I'm ready for my whole life. Yeah, and um
And they put me in a room with another guy who would just come out of surgery and they wheel him in
And uh, he starts waking up and you know, he's awake and he's uh,
You know kind of recovering and like an hour later. I'm going in the next morning for surgery
The nurse comes in and says to him
Have you uh, have you peed yet? And he goes, no, no, I haven't he goes, okay
Well, you're gonna have to pee soon. Otherwise, we're gonna have to catheterize you. Yeah
He goes, he says
What's catheterized mean? Oh boy. He goes, well, and she told him he said, uh-uh, no
That's not gonna happen. That is there's gonna be a battle in here. I want ginger ale
Give me a lot of ginger ale right now. Ginger ale, trays of ginger ale
And I'm thinking, oh jeez. Oh my god
And then I told him I said, hey, would you do me a favor when I come out of surgery tomorrow?
Would you please make sure I drink a lot of ginger ale?
Jesus, that's what they do to you after childbirth
When I'm my first son the minute that epidural wears off
They get around you and they're like you have to pee and if you don't we're gonna put the catheter back in
Oh my god. Well, you push that pee out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah as hard as you can but that epidural is the greatest though, isn't it?
It's the best my two drugs. I love it. My wife had one at one centimeter
Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do. I mean people are usually one centimeter. I'm one centimeter right now. Yeah
That's what I said every time I see my doctor
I go when do I get the drugs and he goes whenever you want and then like there you go
I think the epidural would be uh an epidemic like opioids if it wasn't so difficult to put in with that needle
Right dying now and now that would be but you're so grateful for it. I don't even I want to feel what you're feeling that
You want to yeah the childbirth or the epidural just the epidural it's it's pretty rad
Yeah, but you just take a nap and stuff and they wake you up and it's kind of push
You really got to know what you're doing to give an epidural like when you yeah
If you do a home pregnancy, don't let your husband give you the epidural
Is that right? Yeah, I've heard I've heard
Yeah, it's crazy. How long have you been married?
12 years. Oh, wow
And we had a couple in here
Last episode and they've been together for six years
And that's not gonna last it's not gonna last at all. They never last those young those youth
And we were so surprised to find that they don't fart in front of each other
My wife doesn't fart in front of me at least what do you?
My son and I
We are creative fartists. Yeah. Yeah. I love it. We um, we make it a um entertainment thing
You know, like it's like shooting a gun. Oh, yeah
Or it's tickling something, you know pulling the finger kind of thing. That's the initial thing, but we've taken it to new heights
You know, we will
You know lift the leg up. Yeah, or you know, and whenever I do it when he's with me
Yeah, he outside like he'll get really embarrassed. Sure. I look around make sure nobody's looking. I said, buddy, buddy
I'm a pro man. I've been doing this for years. No one's around. I love
I love the movement. So like I like to do like
Thomas go like if I'm in bed, I'll do a kick. I'll kick and I'll do it
But yeah, my wife has never farted one time. She let out a squeaker, but now I'm I'm imagining you don't like sit on her and fart
But but I mean like if you have some does that to me
If you have to fart and your wife's around like do you do you leave the room? No, no, no, but she's from the south
So she's very proper. Ah, where's she from?
Nashville. Okay. Yeah. So, um, you know, she's a southern belle. So I try not to kind of do it around her
Well, so what do you do you get up and leave the room or what I do is I cut back on the sugar because that's what does it
You like sugar, don't you? Of course and I've tried to eliminate it. You can't it's it's uh, I went without it for a long time
How long is long because I did it for um
Six months ones. Oh, I did a year
But you know what happens you uh, congratulations, first of all, yeah
You go, oh, well, maybe I'll just have a little piece of that scone. Of course and that's a trigger
And then it opens up the gate. It's like a it's like cocaine. Oh, it it is
Someone was telling me that if you had um, if sugar was just
Discovered now, they would never prove it because it would be like too addictive
I I totally believe that yeah, and the sugar lobby is massive and so powerful. It's an everything
It's an everything and it is like it is a
Horrific for your system. It does nothing but cancer feeds on it. Yeah, you know, it's horrible
It's you see how much people consume it. It's really crazy. Have you here's a great thing to do
Go to the movie theater. Yeah, I got a crowded, you know the screen. Yeah, and um
About 10 minutes into the film just walk up in front by the screen and look at the audience
They are shoving so much food. Oh, yeah junk into their mouths and I'm I'm one of those people
You know, I just you know, and I say the first 10 minutes because everybody plows through their stuff
I usually finish my popcorn before the trailers are over. Yeah most people
Yeah, like if you get it beforehand at the temptation to just go through it because the $20 popcorn is so good
So good
A penny counter every time I take a kernel here. There's five cents
25 cents right there
You're running that tab the whole time. Yeah. Yeah. Now speaking of cinema. Yeah, do you remember did?
I don't know how long you've been in la for
But I remember in like the 80s and the late 70s. There was like the pussycat theater, which they would show
pornography in movie theaters
Did you go to one like what we're trying like
We were talking about was that like basically we were saying how the money has been driven down for
The performers and actors because it used to be in cinema and then people would buy
Videotapes and DVDs now it's like free on youtube. It's not, you know, really well people are stealing it and just playing it
So did you ever go to cinem like to a movie theater? Was that a common thing to do to see porno? Yeah
No, but I remember p. Wee Herman that time. Yeah, you know
um
No, but I've worked in theaters before and I'm sure you have too where they say, you know
This used to be a vaudeville thing. Yeah, the last thing was a porno theater. Yeah, that's true. I modeled it. Yeah, that's true
But um, but I will tell you I used to be a bartender at the improv when I first moved out
That's so crazy to me too that you're actually one of those
Because there's always these stories about it was just the job I got and I was trying to become a stand-up
You know, it wasn't like I was a bartender and then I said, oh, I was frequenting the improv when you were um
Let me tell you and then remind me about this story. Yes. Yes. Yeah theater
um
I was I first night I walked in there. I knew the improv was the place in LA. So I came out here and I got a job
Uh, I'd be friend of the bartender and he says hey, we need a bartender for like funding money nights
I can get you a job if you want and I've never bartended before
So I kind of uh, you know boned up on that I got the boston bartender's guide and I kept it behind the bar
I refer to it a lot, you know
But um, the first night I went in there to sit at the bar even I'm to my right
I'm looking in the mirror and it's this weird-looking guy and I'm looking at him and it's marty felman
Oh, I love marty felman right and then there's a guy sitting next to me
We start talking and he tells me he's the original ronald mcdonald
Later I find out he wasn't it was bob zamuda and kaufman's kind of right-hand man
You know he was just messing with me
But I would see everybody come in there as I bartended I would see all these comics
I used to watch on the mirf griffin show and mike douglas and the tonight's show and all these
You know like doddie archibald and george miller and you know j leno and letterman and everybody
Steve martin called one night said looking for bud freeman. He wasn't in he want to know if you'd come down to a spot
I said yes
Yes, you're on the phone. Yeah, and then I see you know like and then the the back room was packed with comics that were
Had such a charge to them like
You know well like any kaufman would come in robin williams would come from morgan mendy with the suspenders on still
And um and I hear myself talking about this now and it seems like yesterday. Yeah seems like yesterday
all of a sudden we've jettisoned like you know 38 years from then
and um j leno would ride in in his motorcycle
um
Richard louis packed a lot of these x paths would be in the back room new yorkers, you know
And then that place the front bar became a real hangout for a couple of years
It was like the dance club depth so hard with the yeah, they did
That was so so you know long ago. Yeah, so I mean but
But back in the like the early 80s it became like a dance hall, you know, I mean, I remember one night
Roy shiner came in with um
um
Bob fossey from all that jazz
Yeah, you know, I mean the people that timothy leary came in one night
Really? Yeah, the people that came in there. It was just that that was a spot
That was the spot and I was there at that time, you know and to see that
um
But yeah, there's just so many well, it's just cool too because you know that
You know
You go into any place now
There's so many staff that are like, oh, you know, I'm like if you're in going to a comedy club
They're like i'm i'm a comic but i'm i'm working here, you know to pay the bills. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and that you know
but obviously for the majority of
In any field it's not going to work out. It's just the the way that that whole business works, right?
Right, you're one of the guys where it really did. It's pretty well
Yeah, I got to um, you know when you start off to and stand up you go to as many open mic nights as you can and you watch
As much comedy as you can
You know on top of what you watch growing up
And then she watched everybody's style and you try to create your own style and get off the one you're emulating
You know when I started, you know, I was emulating well
I loved Andy Kaufman and Albert Brooks and Steve Martin because they're so different, you know, they're so unique
Yeah, you know, you you really couldn't tell where they were going with their bits and you were doing your version of that
I was kind of doing my version of it and and I I always like in comics to
Like verbal magicians because it's misdirection. You know, you're not really
You know, they try to part of the laughter
It's a surprise of what they're about to say, you know because you didn't think about so is that where like the subliminal stuff came from
the subliminal stuff
interestingly came from
I was getting late night spots at the comedy store
and
Things weren't really working that well and um, but I was making friends
At the club and not just comics, but actors would come in
And actors I I would recognize from doing bit parts on shows like Laverne and Shirley and Mark and Mindy and happy days
You know back then yeah
And there's this one guy Ed Peck would come in and he was this tall guy with a deep voice like that
He did but he did low and brow commercials and and he also played a cop character
usually on those those
Those tv shows and he took a liking to me and um, we went to cantors one night and he said I'm gonna do a thing called tagging
Tagging he called it tagging and it was subliminal basically where he would talk to the waitress and insert a subliminal word in there
When she wouldn't hear it because he would bury it, you know
And but it would be real profane, you know, he'd say like uh, well, let's see honey
I think I'm gonna have a cheeseburger hooker and why don't you also give me some french fries with without your dirty whore
So he encouraged me to do it in my act
So funny I started doing that in my act. I love it so much. Thanks man. And then when I got to snl al franken kind of um
Um associated with subliminal advertising, you know, we thought that would be kind of funny to write up a sketch
We're a subliminal advertising guy and you know inserting those words into my conversation to get people to do what I want
and it was the first sketch I did an snl
And um, you know, it's terrifying enough to go on that show for the first time and do a sketch
But this one had like two conversations going on
I remember I was about to go on
I'm not sure where it came in the show, but it was my first sketch
and maybe only sketch on that show
And we're five seconds away coming out of commercial and lauren michael's comes up next to me
He puts the arm on my shoulder and he goes, are you sure this is what you want?
Oh my god, fuck
Yeah, but you know, they it's it's funny the way things people try to make you feel comfortable. Yeah before uh, you know
A pressure situation, but getting back to the pussycat theater. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
I was a bartender at the improv
I would usually finish up about two in the morning two thirty three o'clock by the time
I counted all the money and made the bank receipts out and then I had to drop the money off at the bank
And a little canvas bag with a lock on it
And I did that one night and I was driving down melrose to my
135 dollar night apartment down by paramount down melrose
And in front of me it was kind of foggy out, you know
And I see this figure walking down the middle of the street and I was like a closer
I see it's a girl and a white dress and she's staggering and she's crying and her makeup is all running
And she's she's a massive dishevel mess
And she I can't you know, she's trying to stop my car
So I slow down and I put my window down just a little bit, you know, because I don't know
What she's all about. Yeah, and she um
She's crying and she goes
Roll down your window. Roll down your window. So I kind of rolled it down more, you know, and she goes
They threw me out of the car. They threw me out of the car. She's bastards
And I said, I'm so sorry. Are you all right? She goes, yes
Could you take me to the I think it was a pussy cat theater or was a Kit Kat club? I think it was a strip club
Maybe uh-huh and she I said, okay, and she gets in the car big mistake
And I I don't know where the Kit Kat theater. There was one on Melrose
I thought that's where she wanted to go because I would go buy it all the time going home
But she wanted to go to the one on Santa Monica. I guess there was one. Okay, and uh, and we're driving and uh
So I get her to the the one on Melrose. I say here you go because no, that's not the one
She's drunk, you know, and and she goes I'm Santa
And now I'm thinking oh, this is a mistake. I said, you know what I
I'm gonna have to let you out here. She goes, I have a gun
And I said where I'm Santa Monica is it exactly
But I dropped her off
And she kind of fell out of the car and I ran around and picked her up and got on the sidewalk
I mean, it would look bad for me like if I'm dropping her off like I was like her job
Kicking her out of the car. Yeah. Yeah, and then she blames me. Who is that guy? Yeah
But that's so yeah, so when you said the pussycat theater, I thought that maybe that was uh, yeah
See, I remember my mother going on a date with a man to the pussycat theater
Like in the 80s. She was single and she went on a date with a guy in my party like taxi like taxi driver
Like doesn't he take the lady the night go see a porno?
I'm gonna see that movie again. Yeah
There's a lot of movies like that. I want to he's like what he's so crazy
Took you to a movie but my mom dated this guy for like 10 years after so
Obviously, it was a good thing. Yeah, of course. Yeah, I was so out of the stripping
I was so influenced by the tagging and subliminal thing. Well, it's so funny in class. I used to be like, um
So if you can we carry the four there of the nipple
That and you know, I would say it like that and like just my friend Xamy would like
She would never care, you know, and then she'd be like, yes, of course
I was like, oh and people would start because they would hear it, you know, but like she she would never pick up on it
I love that stuff. Nipple such a funny word. Yeah, that's a great word to use nipple
I know like a Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks were talking about or maybe it's Carl Reiner talking about
They had to have a number
I could some script for maybe the dick van dyke show or something
Your show shows maybe and they were trying to think of what the funniest number was to say
And I think I'm not sure what it is, but I think he said 43 is the funniest number 40. I thought that I thought the cus like
660 something is the funniest number
I think so, but I'm not sure but they're 40. It sounds like farty. Maybe that's why
43
45
45 is the funniest irish numbers. That's a 45 for sure. Yeah
Well, um, tom and I did this thing where when we go through the Starbucks drive-through
We say, um, hey mommy and then you go in your order
You can call people mommy like ways or waitresses or anybody and they don't even pick up on it people ended up taking
So this is our game was to go like hey mommy and order Starbucks and then at the end go. Thanks jeans. I love you
Thanks, thanks jeans. It's like a so we call it to the name. Yeah. Yeah
So thanks jeans love you and they're like, all right does 265 at the window
And then we started to tell our audience about it
And the whole thing was like could you how many because there's so many inside jokes like its own lexicon in this in this show
um
That like how many could you get it and people like we played a girl one time who was definitely disturbed
And she would uh, she would say hi to hitler before she played before she spoke out. She would vlog to hitler
Yeah, that's not a turret thing
No, uh, that would be horrible to have that turret syndrome like howler. Yeah
This was like that would be a bad one
But but anyways people would go in and go like uh, or the n-word
That would be yeah. Well, we did have a documentary about that some girl did say that big words
We did she would go to summer camp and say that word. Yeah, I'll tell you that you know, I have a real problem with drivers
I cannot resist like doing some screwy character
You know when I'm ordering and even if nobody else is in the car, you know, I get in there
Let me see
The two ice cream cones one chocolate and one vanilla
And the medium size. Okay, that's it nothing to drink
Okay, so you're saying you have the vanilla and the chocolate and the vanilla two cones two one white one brown
And then I'll drive through and they'll hand it to me and I'll go which one is a chocolate
Which one is chocolate?
And they'll point it to go. It's this one here. So right here that brown one. Thank you mommy. Thank you mommy
It was really the most people start when we started sharing that we did this people started to
Make them like record themselves doing it and they would throw in
the fucking most insane
requests and the thing that stood out to us is that
Those drive-through people so many of them are on autopilot. Yeah, no matter what you're saying
They're just like yes, sir. Yeah, you got it. Yeah, sure. Yeah. This is uh hitler's order. Here you go
Yeah, give it to him. The fries are still hot. Yeah, that's the great thing about starbucks, too
You could write anything on that cup name. Yeah. Oh, yeah
I was trying to find that trying to find the high mommy. Thanks. Yeah. Hey mom. Yeah
Thanks jeans kind of sounds like it's a regional kind of a thing someone might say like in minnesota or something, you know
Thanks jeans
Thanks jeans found it. I think this is it
Okay, can I get a large cheeseburger meal with uh
Frozen coke
Uh plus another cheeseburger
Yep, that's it. Thanks jeans. Hi mommy. Hi mommy. Hey mommy. Hey, hey, they're born in mommy. Hey mommy
Hey, hey mommy. Hey mommy. Hey, what's your pronoun?
Yeah, it's like I'm just glassing
Hi mommy, could I get a bite second cheese on a sub came bagel you want to make it a meal?
Um, no, thanks. I don't want to be found like Burt. Excuse me one second big round
Put that shit down
I'm sorry about that. But can you do just a little bit of ice? You know, I'm talking about filming on me
Just a little bit of ice
Reels though, can I get a panda bowl with chow mein and then kiss my pussy chicken?
Fucking camp, you know what? Let's just make it a meal. I'm sorry. Can we make it a combo?
Thanks jeans. Thanks jeans. Right. Thanks jeans. All right. Thank you hitler. All right. Thanks jeans. Thank you hitler
That's great. Uh, the kiss my pussy chicken might be
I know
It's so crazy. That's a good subliminal red. Yeah, it is right. Oh man. That's the best. That's the best. You influence that
I mean when we really think about it, you definitely influence that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's fun. Um
I was just thinking something with the drive-throughs. Um
Yeah, it's crazy and there's people work all the time. So they're not thinking
No, yeah, no, they're just like
Yeah, kiss my pussy chicken. Sure kiss my pussy chicken
Which is all by the way things that like we have a lady who's in the bank and she
She just yells out like I want my money. God damn it. Yeah, and then she goes kiss my pussy
Like in wells fargo. So we had that drop that would just play for a while. So people would just oh
I remember the original submission. He goes kiss my pussy chicken and she goes kung pao chicken
Oh, yeah, right. So they think like that. You must be trying to say this
Kung pao. Yeah
So you've you've been working for a while
Do you have any advice for johnny depp?
And for johnny depp. Yeah. So I don't know if you are um, yeah, I am I'm familiar with what's going on
You're you read about that or no, yeah, I think so 650 million dollars. He's earned thus far. He burns through a lot of cash
I mean, they said he's nearly broke. He spends in excess of two million a month
Wow
Yeah
Well, you know when you're at his level and you've had that much money
I mean, you know, what's like when you start making money, right? You stop
Looking at what things cost especially in a restaurant, you know, when you're just starting out you're like, oh, that's
$12 I can get this for $8. I'll have the $8 right or I'll just order off the menu and not do the buffet
Right, right, but so I guess at his level. He's it's so long
He knows he's made a lot of money and he's just a little bit at a time you start spending left and right
It's like compulsive. They said it's like a disorder. Well, what were some of the things you listed like
He shot hunter s. Thompson's ashes into the
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My friend, you know dana carvey says that his biggest fear in life would be how horrible it would be to be famous and broke
Oh, yeah, it's gotta be. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and he's not famous broke, but he that's that was a thing he thought about a lot
Yeah, yeah
Were you like really when you started to make money?
Were you very
You know aware like I gotta say I gotta keep this or yeah. Yeah, no because I you know I
I grew up in a middle-income household
You know, we weren't poor but we lived in a blue collar like neighborhood and stuff and I went to public schools mostly high school
I went to a private school, but um
You know, I paid for my own college bought my own first car and stuff
So I kind of knew the value of money. I worked in a factory and
Yeah, you know wash dishes all those kind of jobs. So I kind of like
And that's what I wanted still my kid too. Like I hope he doesn't have to work the crappy jobs
I did right, but I want him to know the value of money. Yeah. Yeah, so
I'm always kind of aware you are. Yeah
Oh, wait, but being famous and broke that's what being on a reality show is like
I was that in the 90s
Right, right. I did a show called road rules back when MTV was you know MTV
And it was terrible because people would just have access to you and they're like, hey
You're the fucking girl from so-and-so and you have no money to like protect or insulate yourself from anybody
Yeah, it's kind of like being a reality star. So I still look, you know, I still look at prices and stuff
But you know, I don't spend um
Crazily, I still you know, I buy things that I like and I want sure
I'm pretty good with the money. It is a man. There's nothing. I don't know if you think about this
But the longer you do this and you have like some exposure to some success
The more you look at people who've done it for a long time and you're like
Man, how do they do that for so long? Like the fact that you've been
You know working and and creating stuff for this long. It's amazing to me. It's amazing to me too. You know, I um
But the thing is I love doing it. I love what I do. So it's not it's not hard
You know, I'm looking for things and just trying to try to stay engaged
And I've you know, I've just talked to somebody about this before I know a couple of billionaires
Do you? Yeah
and they're you know, like billions of dollars
and
They are really good with their money. They're not like, you know, they're I won't say they're cheap, but they're very kind of
Thrifty, you know, and they know they're not going to just throw away a bunch of money to invest in some film or something
You know what I mean? Yeah
They know where it's going and that's how they became billionaires. I guess. Oh, yeah. Yeah
Well, Johnny Depp would invest like four million and um, so here's a record label. Here's here's some of the spending
Yeah, let's see. Yeah, he lost four. Um, first of all, he paid 5.6 million in late fees to the irs
Which he blames the business manager for but the business manager says they were always late because he never had enough cash to pay on time
So that because he was ripping through cash
So much that they would always be late and have to pay penalties and fees
Uh, over 30,000 a month in wine
Yeah, about that makes sense. Yeah, he said that was more than that. Don't insult him. Yeah, he said don't insult him
Let's see
Court documents filed last year. He claimed the actor spent
around
100 million on maintaining his 14 residences which include a 45 acre chateau in the south of france chain of islands in the bahamas
Multiple homes in hollywood several penthouse lofts downtown la
horse farm
In kentucky. He went to sing us singapore and spent 120 000 on suits
Well in singapore, really is that the place? Yeah to get the suits. Yeah
Get them handmade maybe. Uh, he's collected 70
of vintage guitars. He has
14
um
Storage facilities for like hollywood memorabilia here. She's in LA. It's good that he got divorced
Yeah, his wife is saving half of his money. Right. He'll have to remarry her later
And at least he'll have some kind of a savings. It's
3 million for shet firing the uh, the rocket of uh
Uh, what's it called?
His ashes into the sky
Which he said that's something he needed to do. Yeah
Now he uh depth said it wasn't 3 million. It was actually 5 million. Oh, oh my goodness
200 piece art collection which yeah, I get why you would do that. He apparently spends as much as 200 000 a month just on chartering flights
Uh, worth every penny hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to employ a full-time sound engineer to feed him lines during filming
Oh
45 cars he bought
Uh
Yeah
I don't know. It just kind of goes on and on the other the storage facilities. It's like
It's hundreds of thousands. Geez
Uh, he has a personal doctor
I like that. I'd spend money on that million a year
Oh, I have to live with you. I do masseuse
Yeah, 2 million a year annually for around the clock security for himself and his mother prior to her death
I would hire somebody just to remind me of my passwords. Yeah
That's a great idea
And let's see. Oh, and a 40 person staff that he
Can't
I'm homie for more than a 3 million a year. Yeah, so it really is
Really crazy that you can rip through that much money. I'm more amazed at how it's got to be crazy to be that attractive
And that famous for that long like when he was on 21 jump street. What was he like maybe 18 years old or something?
Yeah, and like he's the guy like I had a poster on my wall like a life-size poster of that, dude
He's been hot for that long like I know that's gotta be crazy. How are you even normal?
Well, I could tell you from my experience. Yeah, tell us. Um, you just got to come out with creative posters. That's the thing
Yeah, that's what it is. It's not that hard. Yeah, just being that hot. You're still hot
Yeah, yeah, I'm still hot. I haven't even peaked yet
Yeah, how much but like was it a thing an snl to like
Translate the fame of it to crushing box all the time like especially in new york like would you guys
Just be on a tear because you were on I think everyone has an era
Yeah, kind of that they follow the most depending on their age. Yeah, depending on your age because like I couldn't list
I couldn't tell you the last 10 casts of that show
but I know
The especially the early to mid 90s cast real well because that was the era that I never missed
That was must-see tv and when you were on
Uh, but you were on with like I couldn't farly sand learn rock and all those guys were on during your era
Right, right was chasing tail like a big part of life for you guys
Uh, for those guys it was for sandler and and all right and those guys. Yeah, but I was you know, I think um
By then I was married. Oh, you were I mean the first couple years. I wasn't married. I was dating jan hooks
Yeah for a couple years. Yeah, and then I was dating another girl in LA
I'm in new york for like six months and then I got married, you know, so I didn't really have that much
Singular freedom, you know on that show you're the marrying kind. I am. I really am. I like that kind of uh stability
Me too. I like monogamy. Yeah. Yeah
Um, but Kevin leaves with it. I mean when I met him, he was like just so you know, I'm married
Okay
All right
What what kind of jobs did you have before you were to stand up?
Okay, um, right before I moved out here
I was a researcher for america's most wanted the television show. Were you yeah, so I was how do you research that?
So they would just give you, um,
You know potential you've heard this story before and she's like
So they'll give you potential crimes
Or crimes and potential suspects
Find out more and then you pitch the
Um, basically the editor of the show
not like
editor like a written editor, but you know like the like the
Like the like a newspaper editor style is how we get like a bullpen and we would pitch this guy
I guess he was an executive producer. So we would just go like hey, I got this guy. He's a fucking rapist. He's in Costa Rica
He he skipped out on bail could be really good. I think it was really dark stuff
You know, like I read his whole diary. He's really fucking horrible
Yeah, I think we should do this one and then I would you try to make your case for why it would be
Uh, a good a good guy to profile
I did that for a while. Did you make money on commission?
Yeah, it's they got him you get points. Yeah, no, so that was um, that was I don't know
That was but as a like a teenager or your early
Oh, I mean I did uh, I I remember I was telling her
The other day because they're they're redoing a bathroom here and they're gonna put some tile in nice and I go man when I was uh
In in high school my my friend's dad bought these apartments
They're like a shitty area and this is in florida south florida
In the summer we had to relay tile
In all of them with no air conditioning in the summertime. It was fucking brutal, man mosquitoes
I did that. Um, I worked at granger the industrial supply place in college
Just doing menial office stuff. Yeah, then when I got out here
I was a transcriber for reality shows you transcribe everything someone says. You're a good typist
I mean, I'm okay. I don't know. It's fucking
Not worth celebrating. Uh, yeah, then I was a post coordinator. Then I worked at a restaurant for a little while
um
On sunset a place called chibo. I worked there for a little while
Then uh chibo or chibo chibo chibo chibo
Then I was a site rep which was actually one of the site rep
So let's say you own um, whatever your house and you're like, I want oh, that would be great
Uh, uh, you know, I want productions to be able to shoot here. Oh, I see. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
So when you do that the company that represents your house
Sends a rep to make sure the production doesn't destroy your house because they will I know
I know it and like I would I would be working in a fucking
Historically protected church and I see a guy like don't don't like nailing into the world. What the fuck are you doing?
He's like, we need a hand in this fucking light here. I'm like, dude
You can't nail and they would just
Always play stupid and I'd have to run around and like try to tell somebody don't let that guy do that
You're like the sag representative. It was horrible. Oh, yeah, there's a there's a house in my neighborhood where they're always shooting commercials there
Yeah, I know that thing's got to be just torn up by the horn up
But they pay well when you get the real productions in there
Yeah, but they also protected a lot. They put a lot of stuff down on the floor
They do but but I've worked in homes before other people's homes and you know, yeah, I'm using their bathroom
I'm not using the port of potty. No
I step over that yellow crime tape thing for sure. Yeah people don't give a fuck man
Now and then it's but the best business is when you own
A building it's not necessarily a home, but just a building. Yeah, and it's perfect for shooting for whatever reason
Oh my god, they rake it in. Oh, I'm sure now. It's like you just get like a fee like your talent for your building
Maybe we could make a lot of money by just building a building that was perfect for a lot of different shoots
Why don't we do that? What are we waiting for? Dude, you know has one of those?
Sorry to jump in on that. Yeah. Do you know the guy crazy Gideon?
Yeah, he owns two buildings in downtown LA that I've shot stuff in and it is that they're like
It's a huge building full of different. It's what you're talking about. Sorry. I'm assuming so different scenarios. Like one's like a cop
station
It's like a nice hotel. Was it the herald or the the uh,
It used to be a newspaper building downtown and then they have building sets in there
And then that so yeah, yeah that big that big building down there on a freeway. Yes
And so you could you could actually use the the old school newspaper bullpen look
Then they built a fake courthouse in there jail cell all these things. I shot a movie called grandma's boy down there
Oh, yeah, that building that was part of it
Nice, that's where the money is man. What are we waiting for right now? Are we doing this stupid joke shit?
Geez suck wait before I forget. Why aren't we managers?
That's the truth. Oh my god
I love the manager like it was funny because I went to her taping. She did a
Netflix thing a few weeks ago and I show up and I'm like, oh when you're not recording, but you're at one of these things
You never feel the stress, you know, like I showed up and she's like she's like, how you know, I'm just going over my stuff
I'm like, it's fucking great. Just uh,
Enjoy it. You don't have fun start talking like managers
Like it'll feel it at all fun out there. Yeah. Yeah, let's just have fun out there be yourself
Can I ask you Kevin? So when you did SNL, you know how
I don't know. Where does it hit you when you get nervous? Like, what do you do? Well, here's what mice?
Psychology was on that show the first time I did it
The year we came out I came out with Phil Hartman and Dana Carvey and Jen Hooks and
all those people, yeah
and
Heavy hitters the show before that also had a good cast but the synergy wasn't there with the writing
You know, it was like Robert Downey jr. Anthony Michael Hall. I think Julia Louise Dreyfus
You know, it was a great cast but the the writing wasn't there and the show was plummeting and they're about to cancel it
Excuse me. So they brought our cast in
That's kind of a last resort. I guess one more chance
And so we lived out of our suitcases like every week. We weren't sure if it was getting a cancel or not, you know
so we were doing our best
And this was a consideration for me. Am I going to like just freak out because of the stress and being on stage?
It's SNL, you know
So what I did was
Excuse me
I I pretended that nobody was watching the show anymore
You know, nobody's going to watch it and this is going to be the only show they're going to do then they're going to cancel it
So, you know, just go out there and have fun
So that was my mindset and I thought the cameras and didn't have film in them
You know
And and I was used to playing in front of a live audience from stand-up
And that audience is not that big there. It's only like 300 people
And so it was kind of fine
And then the next day I found out a lot of people watched
Yeah
Was that um, was there a particular sketch where you realize um, the next day or the next week
That oh, this has made me way more famous like because you're walking around and people are well, yeah
Um, it was my first sketch subliminal. Oh subliminal. Yeah, I just came out of the gate with that
And I wasn't even a cast member. I was a feature player the first year in a writer
So, you know, I was walking around with Jan hooks who was amazing, you know sketch player
Impressionist everything. Yeah, I really I mean, she's right up on the top of the list right there for everybody that's been on that show
And people weren't recognizing her and I was getting recognized. Wow stand-up
We had no experience as a cast, you know, as a you know, a sketch player characters or anything, you know
And I was getting recognized. So that kind of was baffling her a little bit
So, you knew it was a good sketch then it was it hit a nerve and and people thought it was funny
Was fever pitch of fame from that doing like the uh, well, obviously weekend updates got to make you
Your people's faces that came later for me though. I had done like I had done
Five years at that point. Okay without doing weekend update. Oh, okay
I did weekend update for three years and then a year not doing it
but um, it was interesting to watch the um
The evolution of being recognized, you know, sure because I had done like the tonight show and letterman and stuff as a stand-up
So I had some recognition but with Carson. Yeah, when I got an SNL though, it was like, um
It just took off especially in New York City, you know, you kind of felt like the mayor
But you know, it went from this like, uh
Uh, hey, you that dude from mbc
Hey, did I do it you got dude from mbc, right? Yeah, and the next week a uh
Hey, you frowns and haunts you guys are haunts and frowns. That's haunts and frowns. I'm just standing there alone
Hey, you're haunts and frowns and then it's uh, hey kevin nielsen
Yeah, that's an L and then it was kevin nielsen, you know, and now it's back the other way
But haunts and frowns was a oh my god
I mean, we did it on the schoolyard haunts and frowns
A lot of people in halloween costumes and stuff dude. It was like astronauts were doing it in the space shuttle
That is the era where when we would go to school on monday, you know, it would be people would be reciting sketches
Yeah, well that sketch in particular was like
And that's exactly why
When I was in week and update people I realized didn't like to write for week and update the the writers didn't like to write
Specifically for week and update because it wasn't a glorifying job like on monday. Nobody was talking about hey
Do you hear about that? Do you hear that bush joke or whatever that clinton joke?
You know they and so they had enticed them to come write jokes for me
They would put out a breakfast spread like a buffet and the writer's wing
On saturday morning and they have newspapers all over the big writers table and you know
And ap photos because there's no google back then, you know
so um
I feel by the way that it's super intimidating of all the things to do week and update it is it really is a lot of pressure
Right is a lot of pressure
But people would come up, you know a few writers would come up the newer writers would come up
Who weren't that good and then some of the other writers like al frank would always come because he was such a political junkie, you know
and um
And norm mcdonnell would come up, but he would come up just have breakfast and read the paper
And then so I had to like hire people outside the show to fax me in jokes
And I would pay them out of my own pocket
Wow, yeah, I mean it was important to me to do well on week and update
And uh, and then I write my own jokes too, but you couldn't you really couldn't start looking to write material until
Friday night maybe after the late night talk shows were done, you know, because they're they're covering everything
So saturday morning, it's like you wake up and you get like five papers
And you start looking through them and you start writing jokes and
You know and hope that the writers come up with something now
Did it because you were busy with week and update would that buy you the freedom to not have to do like if you're like
No, I was also writing sketches for myself
Amen, yeah, and I was in other sketches dentists did a great job
Miller on week and update did I think for seven years and he was fantastic
But he wasn't really in a lot of sketches. He could focus on that
I was juggling, you know, I wasn't my full focus
And I was working with herb sergeant who was a segment producer of that show and he was up in the 70s, you know
And um, and I would meet with him like in between
The dress rehearsal show in a live show and go over the jokes that worked and didn't work
And you know, and then I had to get back down to like working on my sketch and and so
I go back out to week and update during the live show and
Some of the jokes that we had talked about losing were still in there because he didn't because either he wrote them or he liked them
and
And I didn't really
Realize it until the next morning. I'm laying in bed kind of going over everything, you know, I'm thinking that joke wasn't supposed to me
So he knew that I was not focused and he could do kind of wow
Sometimes not all the time, but yeah, sometimes he would do that. Yeah. Yeah. So it was um, but it was fun. I loved it. I loved um
Saturday nights were just they went so fast, you know, and I always avoided like the parties at the after parties
You did? Yeah at first they were fun
But then it became more of just a thing for your guests to go to
Oh, I got you because you were exhausted from working
And you didn't want to be out until like five in the morning because they must be right?
Yeah, they must be till late last week
Oh, yeah, because you know, you don't get there until after the show and the show ends at one o'clock
And by the time you're cleaning up and everything getting the limo's we each had our own limo
It would take us to this different restaurant each night each saturday
And then you know because that was a big deal for your friends that were in the guests were the biggest problem on that show
You worried about them getting their seats when you should have been focusing on your sketch or whatever
You worried did they get in okay? Are they okay? You're okay? You okay? Good. Good. Okay. Yeah
I'm gonna meet you down by the limo afterwards. Okay. Okay. We're gonna go to the party. It's so annoying
Yeah, and then the parties weren't even really parties
I mean they were fun
But you know it was at a restaurant and you'd go there
You sit at your own table with your guests and they're next we're crane the whole night looking, um, you know
At celebrities and then you pay the bill for everybody
And then you get home at like four in the morning and then you you're wasted on sunday. You're only free day
Yeah, that's what i'm always curious about with so it sunday is your one down day and yeah, you just
You must just collapse on a sunday, right? Like do you even get out of bed?
I get out of bed. Yeah, because um because I I love that it's a free day
And I want to don't want to waste it, you know, but i'm exhausted, you know
And the next thing you know, it's monday
Evening in your meeting with the next house for the new show the next week exhausting schedule
It is but it was great. I had fun. You know, I was young at the time and I could I could handle it
Did you have a lee's favorite?
Uh, guest that you don't mind. I didn't like any of them really
Um, not really everybody was really on their best behavior people asked me that who was the worst host
But everybody is terrified and so they're on their best behavior, right?
And they want to be your friends
So they're making friends
It's like you were like, you know in the battle somewhere with somebody you want to hey watch out for my back
That must be so intimate to walk in and they're like you're doing snl this week
Oh, I know
Especially the actors that weren't used to live performing sure like the film actors. Yeah, they were terrified some of them
And um, I felt for them
But the first one I did was with Sigourney weaver
the very first one first one and um
And I remember it's such a hard week. It's so much work because you know, you're putting everything into it
You want to you know, it's like your last show you're ever going to do
And I remember at the end of the week she was saying goodbye to everybody and I thought wow
She gets to go on with her life and do other things. Yeah, I'm staying here. Yeah another week like that
Nine nine years of those nine nine years
Yeah, Maron
Maron
Yeah, yeah, but you know when I see those people that hosted
Every one of them from those nine years even some of the musicians
We're like best buddies. It's like they they remember and they tell you because it was such a moment for them. Sure, you know a bonding
Um, I'm just everybody that's been on that show. It's like a lifelong friend. Where before I forget you're going to san francisco
I'm going to cobs in san francisco. Wait, is it this week this weekend?

In an apple. It's the next day. Yeah rams head on stage. What's that? Yes, sir. It's a theater. It's really nice
They have one on key west too. Check you out. Check it out, right? Yeah
Um
Before I forget though, you have to tell us about karson
And what that was like. Oh, I feel like it's comics. We got gypped on the late night
We didn't get to do anything. Well, when I first started doing stand-up
Johnny karson was the game in town, you know, he was really the only late night talk show
and that's what you
you know
Wanted to do
And that's like passing your bar exam as a lawyer, you know for a comic
So everybody wanted to get on tonight's show with johnny and it was getting near the end of his run
So I was you know, everybody's getting a little desperate, you know, they wanted to get in there
At least when I came on the scene
And so jim mccally was a talent coordinator at the time and he would come into the clubs
He'd be around the clubs, you know, watch him different people whenever he was in the room
It was a heightened um anxiety
Because the comics knew that he was there and some people would cancel because they didn't want him to see him
Wow, or some would want try to get on so they could see him
And I think I auditioned maybe twice for him or I didn't make it and I was so nervous
I'd only been doing stand-up for you know, four or five years
And I had sweat running down the back of my legs. I was so nervous and I I never could pass the audition for the tonight show
And wait, did he give you notes? Was it was he that kind of a guy that sometimes he did sometimes he did
Uh, some he didn't really for me though
But I remember at the improv at the time if you were on the tonight show
Everybody would be in the club that night and they'd be watching it on the tv over the bar
You know, it's just the one tv and the room would get quiet
You know, he'd bring out the comic who would be working at the improv, you know, it was a regular
And the comic would come out and people would just be cheering and they'd be applauding. Wow. So
I auditioned again for him, but it was for another show. It's for the Mike Nesma show the guy from the monkeys
You know the band
He was a producer and I thought well this time and it was jim mccully the same talent coordinator
Was casting for the Mike Nesma show and also the tonight show
So I thought I'm going to do the material. I think makes me laugh
For the Mike Nesma show. Yeah, and I don't care about jim mccully at this night show
And I get a call from the next day saying good news and bad news
The bad news is we don't think you're right for the Mike Nesma show
But we loved your set and we'd love for you to do the tonight show with johnny cars
And I almost dropped the phone. Really? Can you do it on monday? This is friday
And I was going on my way to houston to do a comedy club there that weekend. Oh, shit
So, you know, you gotta do five minutes. So I would do my five minutes like in front of my real set
and
All I would do
24 seven for those three days was go over my act. Oh, yeah
Over and I could be talking to you now. You think I'm listening to you. Yeah, I'm nodding. I'm going over my act in my head
Yeah, and I had been to tonight show a lot of times when I first came out to la
I would go there because the tickets were free and I knew the I knew the routine you go to the guest relations building
They give you a ticket and you come back at you know, 330
You get in line and I was like watching a vegas show
I mean I I saw so many people that I knew exactly what the format was
I knew that fred the corvette a producer would come out and talk to the audience doc severson would come out
You know, I knew the the song the band played johnny would come out say a quick high and then they start the show
So I knew exactly what I was getting into so smart of you to do that. So you weren't nervous for as nervous
Yeah, as nervous maybe but um
so
Monday rolls along and I I I am on my way. I'm driving out to the tonight show
I can't believe it and I park and I see johnny's car parked in a spot there right by the entrance
I walk by it
And my heart's just like beaten like crazy and I go to my dressing room and um I get into my
My you know my suit my jacket and tie
And I go into makeup and johnny stops in real quick and he wishes me good luck
And I can't believe it. That was johnny karson and and now jimma culley's there the talent coordinator and I'm behind the curtain
I know the band is playing
I know every member of that band because I watched them so many times and they're coming back from commercial about to bring me out
And johnny introduces me
And the curtain opens up and they're applauding and I go blank
I can't think of the opening line at all. I don't remember any material
And I'm walking out and I know the floor's shiny black, you know, and the band is finished and
you know, there's still saliva dripping out of the trombone players instrument and um
And they're applauding still and I'm standing on my mark and the last clap ends and it came back to me
And I started doing my act and I started getting laughs
Laughs applaud breaks, you know laughs and I hear johnny laughing at ed mcman back there over my shoulder
I don't look though because that's not cool
And um and I'm thinking of myself as I'm doing my act. I'm on the tonight show
I'm doing the tonight show and I know my material so well, you know by rote
I don't even think about it. Yeah, I'm just doing it and I'm thinking I'm on the tonight show
I'm on the tonight show
And it ends and they applauded and it and it was supposed to be five minutes
But because there's so much applaud breaks and it went like eight minutes
I get behind the curtain johnny gave me the you know the signal a great job and I go behind the curtain
And I'm thinking I did the tonight show and jimma collies back there all smiles. He's did you great you did great happy
I think johnny's don't go away johnny. I think wants to talk to you
Because it went a little long and then on time for the last guest
So he wants you to come out to the panel
And he goes what can we talk about and I felt like saying get out of my way johnny wants to talk to me
You know, I don't need to do anymore. Yeah, but he goes. Oh don't worry about it. You got plenty of stuff
So I went out there and had extra stuff that I hadn't talked about
And it was like I was like in heaven. I never had experiences before
Nothing like that even with snl and weeds any of those shows and I'm sitting there and I'm do he's setting me up perfectly without even having any
You know
Questions they just fell into place. That's how great he was and I remember him throwing his head back laughing a little smoke
Still coming out from a cigarette from the break, you know
And for 30 years of smoking, you know, and I got off of the show
And I was floating I felt like I was injected with some kind of
Drug that has never been like experienced before and it was a natural high. I've never had that again, but
You know, and I went home or to my friend's house
So I used to write with and we just waited and we just
We sat there with smiles on our face, you know, just smiles smiles and then it aired
And I watched it with a pillow in front of my head
But I knew everybody was at the improv watching like I used to watch everybody else
Yeah, and I still have the answering machine tape from my answering machine
All the comics that called afterwards
And all the people that kind of got in touch
Dude, you got home run. You got the couch. You got applause breaks
Not only that I started dating the girl that I bumped the actress on after me. Really? Yes
For six months we dated
It was like a home run in every way. That's so but yeah, never kind of like you took me on such an emotional
I know I totally totally feel it. It was like I said to this day. It was the highlight of my career
I thought literally for a for a moment. You were about to say and I couldn't remember and then I couldn't do stand-up
The fuck are you doing
I was so scared that you but you know at that time you didn't even have like bullet points on a cue card
Next to which they let you do now. You don't even oh, they didn't even give you cue cards for your acts
No, you you just and I had I didn't even have my notes in my pocket. You know, I was just
Going I was saying this the uh
One of the times I did stand up on I think it was on cone and maybe the first time
When I was behind the curtain, I go how much time do I have?
And I meant before I they bring me out
So the guy. Oh, no. Yeah, the guy goes. No, he goes. He wants to know how much time he has and I see him radio
And he goes you have like five minutes
And I'm like, all right
So I'm like, I have five I have five minutes to stand here and contemplate. I was starting to get like
You know anxiety
Five minutes and then I just hear like
And he's like ladies and gentlemen my next guest and I was like, hey motherfucker. You just said five minutes
He's like, no, you're right now right now
But it was like it threw me into
Walking out with like a panic, you know, but it was okay
Because I don't know. I was able to just kind of regroup but I remember thinking like I have five minutes to stand here
And have that ruined like 10 seconds later. That's a surprise. I thought it was gonna go the other way
How much time do I have? You got two minutes?
Oh two minutes. I thought they said five. Oh my god
And then you cut it short
I could did a minute and a half
That would have been horrible
I'm so envious of you though to have that because that really is like the that was it to get Carson
into the couch and to
It was to make it through that hoop was like
It was such a great thrill for me. And I don't know how many times I did that show
And some people know exactly like Tom Drieson. They know exactly what the tonight show
Yeah, and I don't know how many times I did it and I
I did it with a lot of guests the host too. And I think I think he stopped having me on his show
After one of my appearances there because I didn't know he had a DUI
You know, yeah, and I came out was around the holidays
I said my opening joke was I'm getting ready for the holidays. I don't know about you, but I'm getting ready for the holidays
I've been doing a lot of drinking and driving
you know
and
I finished my set and then
Now there would be by the way a think piece about
Yeah, yeah, but Jim McCulley the coordinator calls me goes. Um, I the opening joke, um, we didn't go over that
I said, oh, oh, yeah, I believe me. I know I don't throw anything in at the last minute
That was part of the set
He goes, yeah, that was you know, because I when I watched it
They they garbled it all up. They did. Yeah, my opening joke. It says, I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting ready for the holidays
I've been doing a lot of liberal. I'll do it out. What I thought. What was that?
And and then I find out that Johnny had a DUI and you know, there's a lot of problems with that and and I and I don't
Specifically remember but I that may have been my last time on the tonight show
He was I mean, they there was a number of stories about
How you don't cross him he would like Joan reverence in any way it perceived
Yeah, believe me had I known he had a DUI. I never would have done that, you know, but
But I don't even like I cringe when I think about the conversation he might have had with
McCulley afterwards, you know, my idol like say the hell was that all about, you know, right?
Well, look speaking of smiles
I got a fucking
Uh, we're kind of obsessed with dental care. Yeah, you have a very nice smile. Thank you. I know that you know that already
I know it because I've been in the dentist chair for half of my life. Really? Yeah, really?
Tell us the dental stuff. Oh
I've had, you know, when I my teeth came in when I was eight
I fell on a you know, a pavement and I broke them both
I got all brown. Oh, so I've had like, you know crowns on the front really, you know, yeah
So that and uh, you know, I've had
Six root canals six to implants last year. God. Yeah. Yeah. So I've been in the dentist chair a lot
Wait, where which teeth were root canal? Does it molars back mostly molars in the back?
And then one of the front ones because I killed it, you know, I died
died so these two are fake
Well, the the crowns the crowns. Yeah, those are little nubs underneath them. Yeah. Yeah, really good
I remember when you got your they nubbed you down remember
Yeah, I got nubs too these front two are veneers because I knocked out half of this one as a kid
I know it's pain in the ass when you knock out your teeth for the rest of your life
You have to replace them or deal with them parents or my mother's oh, I would have freaked, you know
When your kid knocks out his teeth as soon as he has them
Yeah, yeah, so I've been in a lot of dentist chairs
I've had a lot of nova came to my
In fact, when I went to audition for uh, man with a plan the show I'm on now with math Leblanc
That chemistry room. I was at the dentist that morning. I was at that with you by the way. Were you really?
Yeah, I was at the um, like when they first were seeing people
I came in like at the end when they you know, but when they were first. Yeah when they were first seeing people I'm saying
I remember I parked next to you and I didn't really know you and I was going to a reading
Oh, I saw you. I remember you. Yeah, it was a while ago. You had a bigger beard at the time. I think yeah
Yeah, yeah, I'm trying a bigger body too, but I remember because I ran into um
I definitely remember you because I mean I remember one of the three arts guys remember was walking around
I remember he was talking to me and then he was like, oh, Kevin. Yeah
But my mouth was all numb with nova came at that thing
Yeah, because they had more work they had to do than they thought and I barely got there in time
I was like zipping over Laurel Canyon trying to learn my lines
And I go in and uh, and I read with uh, you know in the side room with matt Leblanc
He comes in and you want to read the lines a little bit and say yeah
And uh, my mouth is all like I couldn't can't move this side. I'm just trying to do my best, you know
And and then he said lady told me later you went going to the producers and he said uh, they said, how was he?
He was you know, he's pretty good his time. He's good, but you know, I think he might have had a stroke
No, that's not true
But it was like kind of really numb, but I do remember seeing you there. I wasn't but I remember thinking man. I hope I hope he uh
I hope he has a good audition
You know because I really I feel for anybody who's going in for an audition because I know how how stressful it is
Oh stressful. Well, I mean you must have had a good audition because you got the part, right?
So yeah, I did get the part now that I think about it. Yeah
But you worked out you worked out. Um, do you floss? Yeah, I do
Yeah, I we're about to uh, pick do you do the water pick thing too? I don't do the water pick because we just got a bidet
toilet seat
And that shoots up some nice streams of water
But I do floss but somebody my friend, you know, who uh
Likes to kind of like give me information to debunk what I'm doing
Yeah, he says I just read a report where they say flossing doesn't help. Oh bullshit. Yeah, that's gotta be
Even if it doesn't help it gets the food out from between your teeth
It can get old and smelly. Yeah, because I don't brush. I just floss. Yeah, there you go
Now wait a minute how we're big fans of the built-in bidets
How how happy are you with it? Well, I got it from my uh wife for her birthday
Which is a lot better than the port of john I got her from others day before she did not like that
No, no, no, she was insulted
But um, loves it. She loves it. I don't use it that much
What? Oh my gosh
Because I used the office the bathroom in my office
But uh, I did sit on it a few times. I love the heated uh seat heated seats. Nice
But it's got a mind of its own. It's going up and down all night long
And there's water fizzling out and stuff and and sometimes when I'm going to the bathroom the seat will go down automatically
And I got to hold it up, you know
But it's a great, uh, it's a great machine
It's got a lot of different speeds. I don't know if yours has the speeds that we have
We have different speeds. We have a few we have a toto washlet 350e and then this company bio bidet sent us one
Uh, uh, really a washlet here. Yeah, well ours is uh black and decker. So our highest speed is fracking
Yeah, you can fracking in hydro jet cleaning. I mean and fire hydrant and nothing says romance
Your wife must be like, wow, he's really yeah, so, you know, we when our guests come over we don't tell them
And all of a sudden they got water shooting up their ass. Yeah, it's nice. Yeah, I love it
I put on high pressure. Yeah, but you know, nobody comes out of the bathroom. They're in there for hours
Our water bill has really gone up as it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but those are a great invention
They really are I recommend it for anybody. Yeah, wash the chocolate away save money in toilet paper
Yeah, for sure that too
anything else gene
I don't think so
Um, we had a lot of fun. We had some good memories from this show. This was great, man
